News Channel. We are back with the late news | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Hello, I'm Jenny Kirk. Traditional Boxing Day hunts took | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
place across the region today, with meets in Northampton, Suffolk, | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Essex, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. At Brigstock in Northamptonshire, | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
organisers say, despite the fox hunting ban, the number of people | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
taking part has been rising, largely down to the web and social media. It | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
comes as a poll for animal welfare charities suggests the majority of | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
the public want the ban to remain. The Boxing Day hunt. Horses, pounds, | :00:41. | :00:52. | |
hundreds of people here. A spectacle centuries`old. Now seeing their | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
numbers grow, they say, because of 21st`century social media. People | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
now get hold of me via Facebook. We had a newcomers' date with probably | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
25 or 30 people out, which, to have got the information out using other | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
forms of advertising, would have been firstly difficult, and | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
secondly, expensive. This woman and her five`year`old daughter are | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
having their first time here. They heard about the hunt from the web. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Force ourselves, this is more the case that is the first time we have | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
done this, so getting the horse prepared for it all. It has been | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
good. It has been really, really good. A lot more people than I | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
expected. I didn't realise it was so popular. A poll by the RSPCA found | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
80% of people thought hunting should remain banned. Around 60 riders took | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
part here today, and more join every year, they say. People still want to | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
come out and hunt. We lay trails, we exercise the hounds, and we try and | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
provide a day of entertainment. We are having a bit of fun. It is a | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
tradition that will never die. More alive than ever, they say, with | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
social media. A robber who threatened a | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
90`year`old woman at knife`point is being hunted by the police in | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Northampton. The masked thief stole World War I medals belonging to the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
woman's late father and a World War II Burma Star which belonged to her | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
late husband. Police have just released details of the theft in | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Debdale Road, and they're calling it a "horrible incident." | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Hundreds of people had a moment of madness this morning and went for a | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
swim in the sea off the east coast. These were the scenes during the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
annual Boxing Day dip in Cromer. It's been a tradition there since | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
1985 and those taking part were raising money for local charities. I | :02:37. | :02:48. | |
can speak from personal experience. It was incredibly cold today, but | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
exhilaration takes care of that. This year, it is incredibly special, | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
because we are raising money for the Norfolk 's open association, because | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
the memory of our club has a daughter who has value their | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
services this year. It has been great to raise money for them. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Sport now. In football, in the Premier League, Norwich lost at | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
home, beaten by Fulham 2`1. In the Championship, a good result for | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Ipswich ` they won away at Doncaster by three goals to zero. Coventry | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
twice came from behind to beat League One promotion hopefuls | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
Peterborough 4`2. Colchester beat Stevenage 4`0, and it was a good | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
away win for MK Dons as well. They beat Crawley 2`0. In League Two, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Southend beat Wimbledon 1`0, while Northampton lost at Burton by a goal | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
to nothing. Strong winds and heavy rain are | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
expected overnight, raising fears of further flooding and power cuts. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
There are flood warnings already in place across parts of the region. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
You can find out more on the Environment Agency website. With | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
more details, here's Georgina Burnett. | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
Good evening. I'm afraid it is a bit of a grotty end to Boxing Day, so | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
tonight will be a bit of a wet and windy night. Rain pushing through | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
this evening from the west, and also strong southerly winds picking up. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
That will be the same for tomorrow morning, so cost of 40 to 50 miles | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
an hour inland, and perhaps just clipping 60 mph along the coast as | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
well. Rainfall, we are expecting ten to 20 millimetres by tomorrow, and | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
perhaps even up to 30 millimetres locally. That storm starts to make | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
his way after the east, so by about lunchtime, we should see the back of | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
that. Behind it, we have drier, brighter conditions, but it will | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
still be quite a blustery afternoon, temperatures reaching eight, nine or | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
even 10 Celsius. Quite a cold night to follow tomorrow night, and a | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
couple of chilly but settled days before another feature working its | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
way through at the beginning of next week. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
You can keep up with developments on That's it for now. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Your BBC local radio station. We'll be back with an update at 10:15. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
Until then, enjoy your evening. Hello there, most of us have had a | :04:54. | :05:09. | |
quiet Boxing Day, mostly dry, chilly, lingering mist, light winds. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
That is all about to change. The next storm arriving on our doorstep | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
right now, over night tonight will see wet and | :05:20. | :05:20. |
