goodbye from me. On BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
24 hours after the Norfolk Helicopter crash, the local | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Lakenheath community mourns the loss of four of its airmen. A lot of | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
people from this area work on the US airbase so we are very much a family | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
and at times like this, it is a time to reflect on just how serious the | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
job is that they do fast. `` they do for us. Hello and welcome to Look | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
East. A swimming pool's saved. So what next for the council facing | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
millions of pounds of cuts? Gazing at the stars ` hundreds expected as | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
the BBC's road show aims to create a human constellation. And the flood | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
alerts are still out ` but are we heading for a period of calmer | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
weather? Good evening. First tonight, 24 | :00:52. | :01:11. | |
hours after that helicopter crash on the East coast, a military community | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
here is mourning the loss of four of its airmen. The crew was from RAF | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Lakenheath. An American airbase just to the east of Ely. They were taking | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
part in a training mission with a second Pave Hawk aircraft when | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
tragedy struck and they crashed onto marshland. This is how the events | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
unfolded. The alarm was raised at seven o'clock last night. Lifeboats, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Police, RAF and American Air Force staff were all scrambled to the | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
scene. A 400 metre cordon was set up to protect people from munition | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
which had been scattered amongst the wreckage. Shortly before 10pm, | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
police confirmed all four crew on board had died. Today, | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
investigations began into what caused the crash but the bodies of | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
the crew remain in the wreckage Our chief reporter Kim Riley has spent | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
the day at RAF Lakenheath. A few moments ago he sent us this. This | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
base and nearby RAF Mildenhall had close relations with the communities | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
around them. RAF is home to the liberty ring of the US air force as | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
it is known and tonight the base is mourning the loss of four of its | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
own. Early morning. Military personnel and civilian staff arrived | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
at the base's main gate. All day, there has been a sombre atmosphere | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
after the shocking overnight news. The 45 doing now flying F`15 | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
fighters has played key roles in many military operations including | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. The Pave Hawk helicopters had been a | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
vital support to the F`15 helicopters and their crew. The | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
craft is highly versatile, often used in combat search and rescue | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
missions. It has taken part in humanitarian operations from the | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
soon army in Sri Lanka to hurricane to Katrina in New Orleans. It has a | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
four`man crew and can carry up to 12 passengers or troops. It is a | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
variant of the Sikorsky Black Hawk which has a good safety record. The | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
helicopter crews undergo rigorous training involving low`level flying | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
and high`speed manoeuvres in the pitch dark. Tonight, the commander | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
of the wing issued a statement. They are fielding a great sense of | :03:25. | :03:41. | |
support from across the air force and from our new cake neighbours as | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
we go through this difficult period. `` our UK neighbours. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Tonight the search is under way to discover why the Pave Hawk aircraft | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
crashed. It could be some time before investigators reach a | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
definitive answer. I can tell you that Colonel Robinson who I quoted | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
in the report will be here tomorrow answering questions directly from | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the media. We might also learn the names of the airmen who died in the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
crash. But that will not happen until 24 hours after next of kin had | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
been informed. They did not want families around the world to learn | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
first through the media and not directly from the media. `` the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
military. Some flagstick night flying at half`mast, and some | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
flowers have been laid in tribute to those who died. `` some flags have | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
been flying tonight. In the House of Commons today, the | :04:37. | :04:47. | |
Prime Minister paid tribute to the American aircrew, while local MPs | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
praised their bravery. Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair has | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
the reaction now from Westminster. With many parts of the country still | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
flooded and the death of a Labour MP, the Commons was in subdued mood. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Last night's crash received the briefest of mentions. Mr Speaker, | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
our thoughts should go to the victims of the US helicopter crash | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
in Norfolk about which details are still emerging. Away from the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
chamber, MPs acknowledge that this is a real tragedy, the largest loss | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
of American military life in the country for a long time, and the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
U.S. Air Force has been an integral part of the region for more than 70 | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
years. The community in Lakenheath will be mourning the loss. This | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
crash goes to show just how brave the airmen are, both in action but | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
also in training to ensure that they are always ready to defend our | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
freedom. There has also been an acceptance that this crash will lead | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
to questions about how the military trains. Low`level flying and | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
night`time flying is commonplace in this region. The MoD keeps it away | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
from built`up areas and they have not been many complaints, but MPs | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
will be looking for more reassurance. When something like | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
this happens has to be an thorough examination of what happened. People | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
are proud of the tradition of both the RAF and the US not in this | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
region. `` the US military. But communities must feel that proper | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
steps are taken to ensure that the risks to communities are minimised. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
That is a debate for another time. Today, like everyone else, MPs have | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
been shot and saddened by what has happened on the Norfolk coast. `` | :06:35. | :06:46. | |
shocked and saddened. The family of a Luton man who died in police | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
custody have been told they can now make arrangements for his funeral. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Leon Briggs died back in November after being detained at Luton police | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
station. This morning an inquest was opened and adjourned. They have laid | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
flowers and mounted vigils and now two months after his death, the | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
family of Leon Briggs can at last plan for his funeral. Today, a | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
coroner formally released as body but was unable to confirm the cause | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
of death. The 39 old father of two was arrested in Luton in November. | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
He was detained under the Mental Health Act and died in hospital | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
after collapsing at Luton police station. In the days that followed | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
it emerged that five police officers and two civilian staff were under | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
investigation. They have now been questioned under criminal caution | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
for a number of offences, including Grossman Legends, unlawful | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
manslaughter, `` gross negligence, and health and safety breaches. They | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
have been suspended whilst the independent police complaints | :07:48. | :07:48. | |
commission continues its investigation. His death caused | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
tension in the community. Doesn t attended a public meeting where | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
questions were asked about how bad police deals with the black | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
community. The IPCC has called for patience while it completes its | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
inquiries. The coroner has adjourned the inquest into the death of Leon | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Briggs until a case review in March. His family and friends say that they | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
will continue to mount vigils outside the police station. Two | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
recruitment companies employing migrant workers in Cambridgeshire | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
have been stripped of their GLA licences. In October, 300 officers | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
from the police and the Gangmasters' Licencing Authority targeted | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
addresses in March and Wisbech as part of Operation Endeavour. Since | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
then, Slender Contracting ` run by Martyn and Mark Slender ` has lost | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
its licence for breaching GLA standards, including falsifying | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
payslips to underpay employees. MAS Recruitment has also had its licence | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
revoked. Next tonight, they are some of the essential services that we | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
use every day. Things like care for the elderly, rubbish collection and | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
libraries. But Central Bedfordshire Council needs to cut ?43 million | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
from its budget over the next few years ` and is asking people living | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
there for their ideas. For some a new year brings new resolutions For | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
councils it means a new round of cuts and savings. Less money from | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
the Government and greater demand on services. But simple Beds Council | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
has invested recently ?100,000 on a leisure centre. Membership is up and | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
it is no longer loss`making but in the next four years, the council | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
must cut spending on local services by 25%, ?43 million, so will that | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
put a stop to investment and upgrades like this? We have got to | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
do more of this. It is about investing, to save. If we can | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
refurbish a leisure centre or an office so that we can have fewer of | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
those zoos, so that over the long term they can cost less, that saves | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
money, and that is what we are all about, fundamentally reshaping the | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
way that we deliver services. The council says that council tax will | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
not go up this year, but with cuts to be made, I asked residents how | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
they think it should be done. Where would you make savings? Planning. | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
They are always a pain. I have just had a baby. I would not want | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
children services to be cut. We all sit in our armchairs at home, don't | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
we? Social housing, you would cut back on? I would, yes. Where should | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
they make the biggest savings? Libraries. If they limited the hours | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
that they operate. This opinion poll was unscientific but it shows you | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
how tough these decisions are, and the pattern I am seeing emerging is | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
that most people would not want to see adult social care children's | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
care cut, and those are the areas in which the council spends the most | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
money. You can have your say as the plans go out to consultation between | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
now and the end of the month. He's been missing for more than a week | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
and police in Bedfordshire say they're becoming increasingly | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
concerned for Neil Devlin's safety. Mr Devlin is from Leighton Buzzard. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
He was last seen on New Year's Day drinking with friends. Posters in | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
local shops appealing for information. Neil Devlin was | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
reported missing after failing to turn up for his job at the local | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
supermarket. He has learning difficulties. His friends are | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
worried. I have known him for four years, and this is not his | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
behaviour. For him to disappear and not contact anyone and not go to | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
work, it is not him at all. It is close to this part of town that he | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
was last seen. Detectives using CCTV have used together his last | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
movements. On the evening of January one he met friends for a drink in | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
this pub and this thought to have left shortly after half past ten. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
The misleader he was spotted at a filling station a short walk away. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Then he went to visit friends at fork news. He left at 11:30pm. That | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
was the last anyone saw him. ` `Falcon Mews. What we are doing is | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
tracing back the steps that we believe that Neil Devlin had taken | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
that evening, back from the town to his home address and yes, I would | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
like someone to come forward and provide information. His journey | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
home would have taken him past this river. Police have been searching | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
the river bank. There could be further searches by boat. His | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
friends, whilst trying to remain optimistic, fear the worst. He is a | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
lovely person. It is very sad. I find it hard braking. I am losing | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
sleep over it, waking up thinking that there has been bad news. I just | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
want him to come home. It is sad. Searches for the missing man will | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
resume tomorrow. The Prime Minister has welcomed the posthumous royal | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
pardon given to the Bletchley Park code breaker Alan Turing. He killed | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
himself in 1954 shortly after being convicted for being homosexual. | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
Lyn O'Reilly's family are now taking legal action against the health | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
trust. Still to come, we are looking at the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
stars. A lot of lights have been switched | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
off so that people can look at the sky. It is Stargazing Live, | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
astronomy really is the new rock and roll, and there is this stage to | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
prove it. If you've just joined us, our main | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
story tonight is the death of four Amercian air crew in a helicopter | :14:09. | :14:20. | |
crash in Norfolk. The crash happened 24 hours ago. The bodies of the | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
victims haven't been recovered yet. The aircraft was based at RAF | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Lakenheath and was on a training exercise when it crashed. Roger | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Smith is from Lowestoft and is an expert in military aircraft. It has | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
been a very safe aircraft flying at low level at night is a potentially | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
risky business, but they have not had many accidents. | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
It is a Pave Hawk, rather than a Black Hawk? Yes, a Black Hawk is a | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
troop carrying helicopter. The Pave Hawk is full of electronics and | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
avionics which helps it see in the dark. It can follow radar and | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
infrared, to see in the dark. The pilots and the crew can wear night | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
vision goggles, which helps them to see in the dark. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
We heard that this was carrying ammunition, which is part of the | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
problem in the flare`up? `` clear up. | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
Yes, they do not want people to pick them up. They should not do much | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
damage other than being picked up. A lot of people have suggested that | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
it could have been a bird strike? Yes, we will see what happens when | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
the board of inquiry gives its report. Helicopters do not fly as | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
fast as low flying jets, and will be less damaged by a bird strike. I | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
think that if a helicopter hit a bird, there would not be a lot of | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
damage. If the helicopter was in a hover and a bird hit a tail rotor, | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
that has crashed a British Telecom to in the past. `` British | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
helicopter. There's been an Amercian air force | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
presence in Suffolk since the war. And over the generations a close | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
bond has developed between the large bases and their Suffolk neighbours. | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
Today, Look East Suffolk reporter Kevin Burch examined the impact of | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
the helicopter tragedy on the local community. | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
The world's biggest bombers visit England's... | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
The American presence at RAF Lakenheath has been difficult to | :16:47. | :16:58. | |
ignore. And RAF meet your... RAF Lakenheath is now the largest | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
American base in the country, home to 6000 personnel from America. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
There are thousands more at a base next door. We went behind the scenes | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
on thanks `` Thanksgiving day, and found out why it was called mini | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
America. We have 100 pounds of meat, many | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
turkeys and hams. But from the celebration, the mood | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
today was commiseration. Here is the counsellor for the village. | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
It is very sad. Many people in the area work for the American bases. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
We're like a family. This is a time to reflect on how serious the job | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
is. The village here worked on the base | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
for many years. He says that there is a sense of shock, but the crash | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
needs to be seen in context, given the scale of the base. They have | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
many flights in the day and night, and have not lost any of four. They | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
have done very well. This man teaches music, many of his | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
students from the base. He says that the American troops always play | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
their part, at family days and to look after the nature reserves. | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Recently, many of the troops did litter picking and tidying up at the | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
base `` nature reserve. So it is much appreciated. | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
You have the fighter base and the bombers, but they are also in our | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
communities and are a big part of the community. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
The council are planning to send the American base flowers and a letter | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
of condolence. Side`by`side for years, now closer than ever. | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
Large crowds are gathering in Norwich this evening for an event | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
linked to the BBC's stargazing programme. The main activities are | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
taking place just outside the Forum. Our own star David Whiteley is there | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
now. When I was at school, I was in the | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
astronomy club. And if you were in the astronomy club you were a geek. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
But now being a geek is super cool. Astronomy has become very rock and | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
roll and this year's Stargazing Live is bigger than ever. Of course, live | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
shows on BBC Two and massive live events like this one here in | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Norwich. There is a choir singing on the | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
stage, and they have also turned off a lot of the light pollution in | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
local businesses, so we can see the stars. Hopefully it won't rain | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
anymore. In a minute, I'll be chatting to the stage presenter of | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
the this show. But first, here's Shaun Peel. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
It is a far cry from the sky at night. This is stargazing in the | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
21st century. It is rock and roll, and there is a three hour road show | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
of choirs, bands and stand`up comedy. | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
Everyone on the stage are scientists, but also performance. It | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
is about making people enthusiasm, children and adults, so that they go | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
out and look at the sky and see the big universe. | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Stargazing Live has blown the cobwebs of thousands of telescopes | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
and introduce the universe to a new generation of stop last night's show | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
was at Jodrell bank, and there was also a report from way born on the | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
coast. `` Weyburn. This is what Mars looks like. | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
There will also be a human constellation. The space experts are | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
marking out the pavement in the shape of the night sky. It will be a | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
UK first. They are mapping out the night sky | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
as it would be over this spot at 30 PM. They will get 200 people to | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
stand on the markers, give them the torch, cut the lights, everyone puts | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
their hands in the air. That will be filmed from up above, and there you | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
have it, the Eastern lights. This is what you would see. We will | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
make the constellations in different colours, so you can see what is up | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
there. Last night, the programme had the | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Northern lights, tonight 200 people will create our own version, the | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
Norwich lights. That constellation will light up the | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
night sky at 7:30pm. I am joined by one of the size presenters who has | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
just got off stage after an energetic performance. `` science | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
performance. This is about getting science to a | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
larger audience, many people think it is is about men in white coats in | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
a laboratory, but science is done in Hawaii, in incredible places. So it | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
is making people know that science is done by a whole range of people. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
Astronomy, science, it can be quite glamorous? I would not say that it | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
is always glamorous, because it is at night and it is cold, but it is | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
not just done by the stereotypical people. It can be done by anyone. A | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
lot of people think that science is difficult, but sometimes it is just | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
how it is explained that makes it difficult. So what my stage show, I | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
like to make it into the basic parts. I'm hoping that even | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
eight`year`olds will know about some of the scientific facts, by doing a | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
big explosion. Yes, I am sure that many of the parents will want to | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
have washing`up liquid bottles across the room! I am so glad that | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
worked, but I was so happy when it's moved 11 metres. I will be here very | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
late, there is a lot of work to do. The Stargazing Live event carries on | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
until 9pm. It will be on BBC Two until nine o'clock. I wish astronomy | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
was this exciting when I was a child. It was really boring. | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
What is the weather like tonight? I'm afraid it is not very good | :23:51. | :24:06. | |
tonight. There is rain moving further north. It will be making its | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
way from the South West. It will not be raining all evening and all | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
night, it will be quite shallow reef stop `` patchy rain. But there will | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
also be rain into the early hours of tomorrow morning. The wind will pick | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
up. There will be a lot of cloud around and that breeze, so it will | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
not get very cold. Temperatures around six or seven Celsius by the | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
end of the night and a moderate to fresh south`westerly breeze. | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
Tomorrow, it will be quite cloudy and there could be some rain | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
around, but it will become brighter and stop it will be an improving | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
picture. It might be damp at first. Temperatures will be warmer than | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
they were today, it could be 10 Celsius, but you have to factor in | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
the breeze. And the breeze will get fresher throughout the day. So | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
feeling more cold. And in the afternoon, cooler air, and | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
temperatures dropping. And temperatures will drop tomorrow as | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
well. There could be some ground frost across the region. | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
On Friday, there will be high pressure, so that promises some | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
better weather. This weather front of moving across the country top | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
there will not be a lot of rain by the time we get to us. The bulk of | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
Friday does looked right. By the end of the day, there could be some | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
patchy rain. The outlook is looking quite | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
settled. There will be dry and bright weather on Friday, feeling | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
cooler. Cloud increasing overnight. Not quite as cold on Friday night. | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
But this cold air will continue to move downwards. So the weekend is | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
looking dry and bright, the numbers will go down. So highs of six | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
Celsius, despite a lot of rain. So the overnight lows will be colder, | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
and still some rain by Sunday night. A reminder of our main story. Crash | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
investigators are expected to spend the next few days trying to find out | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
how a US Air Force helicopter crashed in Norfolk, claiming the | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
lives of its four crew. The Pave Hawk helicopter had been on a | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
training exercise when it happened. Our reporter is at the site. What is | :26:43. | :26:52. | |
the move like? It is a very sombre mood. People | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
understand that there are still bodies here. At some people are | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
saying that the night exercises should not happen in this area is | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
top the helicopters are sometimes only three metres above a bird | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
reserve. The investigation will not have an early outcome. It will be | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
carried out by the American military. We may not have a result | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
for up to a year. But our thoughts are with the families and loved ones | :27:25. | :27:32. | |
at RAF Lakenheath stop that is all from us for now. | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
There will be more in the later bulletins and tomorrow morning on | :27:39. | :27:39. | |
the radio. Good night. | :27:40. | :27:45. |
