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
