In the programme tonight: Damage and delays as Storm Doris | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Roads and trains are disrupted and tens of thousands face | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
I've been on the Orwell Bridge, which has been closed since 11.00am | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Why 500 people in the region have more than 12 points | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
on their licence, but are still legally allowed to drive. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Once you hit 12, I'd say you have your license taken off you. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
And we are out Glemham Hall in Suffolk for a valuation day. | :00:34. | :00:56. | |
All these people here have come to... | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
36,000 homes are without power tonight across Essex, | :00:59. | :01:12. | |
Suffolk and Norfolk as the region is battered by Storm Doris. | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
People are struggling to get home tonight. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Part of the M11 in Essex is still closed and there | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
are delays on train services in and out of London. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
In Colchester, 64 homes have been evacuated because of fears | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
the building could collapse after high winds damaged the roof. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
In a moment we'll hear from Alex about whether we've seen | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
the worst of the storm, but first, this from Katherine Nash. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Preparations underway to close the Orwell Bridge in Ipswich. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
The decision was made at 11 o'clock this morning as Storm Doris started | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
to sweep across the region, bringing with it strong winds, | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Highways England made the decision to close this bridge when wind | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
On an average day, 60,000 vehicles cross over this bridge, | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
On the M11 in Essex near Stansted Airport, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
queueing traffic as a lorry overturned on the wind. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
In Colchester, the evacuation of 64 homes. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Residents of Greenstead Road told to leave this lunchtime as buildings | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
It was as if a lorry had gone into the side of the building. | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
When I looked out the window I just noticed all the bricks had fallen | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Then we looked out the front door and the whole roof | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
The roof ripped off this job centre and staff relocated to another of | :02:40. | :02:55. | |
those nearby. As wind scattered speed and strength power cables were | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
brought down, leaving more than 40,000 people without electricity. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
UK power networks drafted an extra staff to deal with 5,000 calls this | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
morning alone, five times more than on the usual date. All of our normal | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
work has been suspended. The whole organisation comes together in storm | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
bowed to stop we have over 400 engineers ready to go to make sure | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
we can respond as quickly as possible. In Ipswich, an empty space | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
where the market should be. Traders told to pack up their staff as high | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
winds set in. Local people told to avoid open spaces for fear of | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
falling trees. It is unusual for us to close the market. The market is | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
normally resilient. It is been a couple of years since we have had to | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
close it. In terms of the parks, we will make the decision on a | :03:44. | :04:00. | |
case-by-case basis. As Storm Doris moves across the region tonight, | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
work is underway to clear up the mess. Highways England says the | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Orwell Bridge will only reopen when wind speeds have dropped to safe | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
wind speeds have dropped to safe levels. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Mike Liggins is at Cromer on the North Norfolk coast for us now. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
The latest is that the weather here has been ferocious for a couple of | :04:14. | :04:27. | |
hours. At this camp down a little bit but you can still see it is | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
pretty unpleasant and still blowing pretty hard. Disruption around the | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
region on trains and on the roads. We understand that five people have | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
been taken to hospital after a bus overturns at Walton Highway in | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Norfolk. On the roads, severe delays on the M11 because of an overturned | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
lorry. The Orwell Bridge and the Dartford Crossing are both closed | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
because of the high winds. As far as the power is concerned, we | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
understand that as you said earlier, 36,000 customers are without power | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
this evening. I will have more from here later on the programme. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
We have experienced gale force winds right across the region. This map | :05:13. | :05:26. | |
shows the highest recorded gusts. Many areas had gusts above 60 miles | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
an hour, but it was way born that recorded gusts of 81 macro tonight | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
this evening. The low-pressure weather system that is Storm Doris | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
has moved out into the North Sea, so it will still stay very windy across | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
parts of Norfolk and Suffolk, but those winds will continue to use | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
this evening, but I should add that the Met office Amber weather warning | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
is still in force until eight o'clock tonight. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
BBC Look East has learned that more than 500 motorists in Norfolk, | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Suffolk and Essex are still driving despite having too many penalty | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Usually, drivers are banned when they exceed 12 points, but it's | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
One driver from Essex currently has 42 points and is still on the road. | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
From causing a road collision to failing to have insurance, | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
when you break traffic laws you are penalised. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
12 points on your licence usually means a driving ban for six months, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
but figures obtained by the BBC show that, in this region, | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
502 drivers are still on the road despite having 12 or more points. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
Essex has the highest count at 313, where one person is still driving | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
despite having 42 points on his licence. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Alex McFarlane was caught speeding six times in three months. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
He would have lost his job had he been banned. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Motorists in this Norwich car park had mixed views. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
You've broke it, you face the punishment for it. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Even if it could wreck your job, your career? | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
You should have thought about that once you committed the crime. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
There are plenty of other laws that if you cross the line | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
There are some circumstances where it's acceptable, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
but when it gets a lot more than that, I think it's | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
We've got people obviously being caught and going | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
through the justice system, but actually this whole | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
point system seems to be making a mockery of that. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Drivers are getting away with repeatedly breaking the law. | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Drivers can appeal if they claim that the ban can cause them | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
For example, they could lose their job. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
There is no definition in law, though, as to | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Every person, every case is looked at on its own merit. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Magistrates have to consider the impact of a ban not | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
just on the motorist, but also the effect on his or her | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
There are drivers out there on the road with | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
As I say, it's a matter for the courts that they've | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
All I would hope is that people with an excessive amount of points | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
do begin to learn the lesson and not commit offences in the future. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
The vast majority of drivers with 12 points are banned, | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
but the fact remains there are a handful who have | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
continually broken the law who are still on our roads. | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
Simon Nicholls is from Belmores Solicitors. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
What is your definition of exceptional hardship west there is | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
not a definition of exceptional hardship. It is what those mean to | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
stop what might be exceptional hardship for one person might not be | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
per another and that is what magistrates determine. This is | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
something that you deal with a lot in your work. 42 points we had | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
there, what is the worst case you come across? 36 points is the best I | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
can manage. I have looked at some of the points scorers today and I can't | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
work that had managed to get to that work that had managed to get to that | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
many points because it is almost physically impossible when you think | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
the maximum number of points for any offences ten. There was a cloud of | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
mine who left his home and went to another address and in the meantime | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
got six requests for who the driver of his car was. He was completely | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
unaware, he should have told the DVLA that he changed his address but | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
he got six lots of six points, some 36 points. The consequence of that | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
was he got 36 points. You see a lot of variety in highly me in a | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
magistrate might be? What IDC appearing before magistrates is it | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
is a tough job being in front of them because they know that they can | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
only grant it if it is exceptional, so the fact that summary will have | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
to get a bus or train or bicycle to work, that in itself isn't enough. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
The fact that someone might even lose their job isn't enough. What | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
matters is the ripple effect and that is that affect that really | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
matters. Will it affect the family, the children, relatives, employees | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
of a small company perhaps where the boss of the company needs his | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
driving licence to bring the business in. A lot of people | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
listening to this will say that if you know you already have points on | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
your licence, surely you should drive super safely. Of course you | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
should. But it is a three-year period. Someone is clear for an | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
appointment, they are doing 45 when they should be doing 40, because | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
they are thinking short-term need to be somewhere. Then of course the | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
consequence of what they have done turn dry to bite them. Thank you | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
The police in Essex have "significantly improved" the way | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Two years ago, the force apologized for failings in 30 child | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
The Inspectorate of Constabulary says progress has been made, | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
but it says improvement is needed in the way the force monitors | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
sex offenders and deals with missing children. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
A mental health trust criticised over a high level of unexpected | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
deaths has just launched a new strategy to cut suicides. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust says the action plan | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
will have a real impact, but the idea's been | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Philippa Travis-Williams from Ipswich lost her | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
He was 21, studying fashion photography. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
She knew he was struggling emotionally. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
What she wasn't told until too late was that he had | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
been detained by police, then assessed and discharged | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
What does she make of this new strategy? | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
To be quite honest with you, I'm fed up with listening | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
It feels like another promise that is probably just going to fail. | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
The whole service needs a complete overhaul, in my opinion. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
That overhaul, she says, means huge investment, | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
more crisis teams, more hospital beds for acute cases. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
For its part, the health trust says it is confident this new plan | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
The first priority will always be the people that we see, | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
but also we are part of a wider suicide prevention strategy | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
That aims to prevent suicide at the point where people start | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
to feel desperate and unwell, so it's about prevention | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
at its earliest stages as well as when people | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
It wants a better level of care, training and response. | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
Critically, it wants to listen more to the families left | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
behind, often isolated - so much grief, summoning questions. | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
behind, often isolated - so much grief, so many questions. | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
I light candles every night and say prayers for him every night... | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
We know that suicide is absolutely devastating for families | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
and for everybody that is involved with somebody, and even | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Suicide takes a real impact on our staff, as well. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
So anything we can do to prevent suicide is absolutely vital. | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
So this is Henry's bedroom, where he used to stay when he came | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
home for long weekends while he was at | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
I do still find it very difficult to spend time in this room. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Henry was a special talent - a gifted artist. | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
Philippa is planning a special exhibition of his work to help raise | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
You are watching Look East with Stewart and me. | :13:27. | :13:42. | |
Coming up: Alex will have the very latest on Storm Doris | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Find out what happens behind the scenes as the TV show | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
During last year's EU referendum there was a lot of talk about how | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
much we receive in grants from the European Union. | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
Farmers, businesses, local communities are all eligible, | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
But they won't be for much longer, which is why today we got one | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
of the most detailed breakdowns for many years. | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
It shows how much money has actually come to this region | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Let's get some details from Andrew Sinclair. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
This list was compiled by the East of England office in Brussels and it | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
reckons that our region has received ?4 billion of EU investment | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
over the last ten years, which has helped fund ?12 billion | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
?2.3 billion of that came from the European Investment Bank, | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
which loaned money to windfarms and road schemes. | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
?800 million went on research and development. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
?660 million in grants to businesses. | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
There were also dozens of other much smaller funds giving out grants | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
No, not the slopes of Bordeaux, but are shown on the Norfolk Suffolk | :15:01. | :15:13. | |
border. Though which chills have entered their own vineyard and "In | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
array, helped in part by ?42,000 from an EU front set up to encourage | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
rural economic development. The banks wouldn't front us because we | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
are a new business and have no trading history. We fitted the bill | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
for EU funding very well because we are going to be boosting tourism in | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
the area and employing local people here. Improvements to several other | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
nature reserves, and you freightliner three Ipswich, space | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
research in Stevenage, the regeneration of Lowestoft seafront. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Hundreds of projects in the east have benefited from EU money, but | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
they are not going to for much longer which is why one of our | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
business organisations commissioned this report, to find out just how | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
reliant we are on EU money. Currently, millions of pounds of | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
European funding comes to support economic growth and we know that is | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
coming to an end. But we are doing is to make the case to government to | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
say that here is a whole that has to be plugged. Those who lead the Leave | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
campaign point out that we sent more to Brussels than | :16:17. | :16:30. | |
we get back, so the government should be able to keep funding all | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
the schemes, but with Brexit just two years away, business groups say | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
they need firm promises. Quickly. Hasn't the Government given | :16:35. | :16:35. | |
guarantees about future funding? Only to an extent. The government | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
has said it will continue that funding until the beginning of 2021. | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
After that I can dig any promises because the Chancellor doesn't know | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
how much money he will have to play with as he doesn't know how much it | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
is going to cost to leave the European Union. It will be up to | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
whatever party in power to decide on funding and that could change. The | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
feeling is we can't expect to get as much money in future from the UK | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Government has from the EU. They say things like science and technology | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
and transport schemes will probably be OK, but smaller things like | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
wineries are nature reserves might not be so lucky in future. As is so | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
often the case with Brexit, we simply don't know what the minute. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
There is a lot of uncertainty and businesses them like uncertainty, | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
but we will talk more about this on Sunday Politics this week. | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
Now what do you think is the best way to stay young? | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
A glass of wine a day, plenty of fresh air and exercise perhaps? | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Well, according to one woman from Kettering, it's indoor bowls. | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
Today, Marjorie Wright has been celebrating her 100th birthday. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
She had her telegram from the Queen and, of course, | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
she is officially the oldest female bowls player in Northamptonshire. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Stuart Ratcliffe has been to meet her. | :17:57. | :18:06. | |
Happy birthday to you. Cheers! 100 years young. As you | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
might expect, it is taking a bit of getting used to. You just can't take | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
it all in. It is funny, really. I can't realise that I am 100. When | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
people ask me my age and I have to say 100, I can't believe it. But | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
reaching three figures does provide the perfect excuse to invite a few | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
friends round. It is a wonderful achievement for her. I have no and | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Marge since I was 15 and worked opposite her little shop with their | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
husbands. You can believe it. When you look at her, she doesn't look | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
100. She is very active. She is absolutely full of it. She is an | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
inspiration to us all. Shi'ite to be in beginners book of records. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Reaching three figures also means a certain special delivery. The | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
switches for you and such a special occasion, Elizabeth R. How does that | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
feel? I think that's lovely. Born and bred in Kettering, Marjorie has | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
seen many changes in our own time and the wider world. This cine | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
footage captures the day her husband, Len, returned from the | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Second World War, and this is the first Christmas back together as a | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
family. Back to 2017, and with the party over, it is a quick trip into | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
town to visit a place which Marjorie credits with her youthful appearance | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
and Outlook. I love my balls. If everybody did that when they | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
retired, it is such a lovely pass time and it stops buying in a chair! | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
If everybody did that, they would be much better. The polls, that is your | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
secret to a long life? Oh, yeah. It's been a day of lights, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
cameras and action at BBC television crews moved | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
in for a valuation day Hundreds of people gathered | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
at Glemham Hall, near Woodbridge, to find out if items they had | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
brought from home might make Kim Riley was given a look behind | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
the scenes as the cameras rolled. They started arriving | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
at the Elizabethan mansion early this morning, armed with family | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
treasures or items they would, If you found out they were worth | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
quite a bit, would you sell them? Because they are not something | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
we particularly want, but we've had them on the shelf | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
for a long time. On-screen expert James Lewis | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
was working the crowd. We've already found some | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
interesting bits and pieces. I found a little bit of an 18th | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
century scientific instrument, some silver, some porcelain, | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
a bit of Moorcroft, So already the things | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
that are coming out The last sort of ten, | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
15 people to come through the doors are often the people with the real | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
treasures, so we'll see. Rooms in the hall were then taken | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
over by hundreds of Flog It fans - the invasion welcomed by the man | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
who lives here. Well, I'm sort of | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
getting used to it. Over the years as we've | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
developed events here, These houses are what they are | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
and I think to share them with as many people as you can | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
is a good thing. Eventually, everyone | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
who came through the doors Cameras everywhere, | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
but only a relative few will have their stories told | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
on the final programmes. Even though we might get 500 | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
or 600 people turning up, everybody will receive a free | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
valuation, but to make the four editions of Flog It that we will be | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
producing from Glemham, we only actually need to film 35 | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
people with their items and take Sisters Linda and Sally | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
may well be among them. They brought along a Chinese | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
teapot reportedly given to their grandmother | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
by a Romany Gypsy in the 1930s. It won't be very | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
valuable, I know that. It's just interesting, | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
the history behind it. We've never seen anything | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
like it anywhere else. Presenter Paul Martin is on his 16th | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
series of the programme. It gives you a connection | :22:13. | :22:22. | |
to the past. We've all got these wonderful items, | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
little documents of social history, treasures, you know, | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
examples of Great Each region has a different | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
identity so we are looking That's why everybody is into this | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
kind of thing because it gives you a connection to the past, | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
but inspiration for the future. Selected items will go under | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
the hammer in Suffolk in March. The programmes will air | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
in the next 18 months. Before the weather, let's just catch | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
up with Storm Doris. As we have already told you, | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
roads have been closed, trains cancelled and thousands | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
of homes left without power. Mike Liggins is in Cromer | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
on the North Norfolk coast now It doesn't look very nice there. No, | :23:04. | :23:17. | |
it isn't. You might just be able to make out the lights of Cromer Pier | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
behind me. I was on the pier at 5:30pm this afternoon when the | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
weather was quite corrosion is. We were all struggling to stand up. As | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
you were saying, there has been a considerable amount of disruption on | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
the roads and the trains. We are hearing that the Greater Anglia line | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
between Norwich and London is blocked due to a tree on the line. I | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
have just seen the photograph somebody Tweeted of Liverpool Street | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
station that is completely packed, presumably with people struggling to | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
get home. Severe delays on the M11 tonight due to an overturned lorry. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
The Orwell Bridge End Dartford Crossing are both closed. UK power | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
networks are telling us that 40,000 customers across East Anglia are | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
without power tonight, so that will be pretty miserable for those | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
customers. 22,000 of those customers in Norfolk, 4,000 in Cambridge, | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
7,000 in Essex and 7,000 in Suffolk. It is still very cold and very | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
miserable and my advice would be to stay indoors if you possibly can. | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
Our advice to you is get indoors if you possibly can! | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Nowhere escaped the Winsock Storm Doris today. This map shows quite | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
neatly where the highest gusts were. Across the region cost between 60 | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
and 70 mph. The strongest gusts were at 81 macro sonata at way born. This | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
weather system that is Storm Doris has moved the into the North Sea, | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
but it will stay very windy, particularly on the North Norfolk | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
coast. You can see a tree down here in Cromer. Also in Cambridgeshire, | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
trees are down. Many foot graphs of comments showing the effects of the | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
storm. Here is the pressure pattern to show where the low has gone. The | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
winds will turn to a north-westerly direction and that is only really | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
whipped up this afternoon. The winds will continue to ease. Norfolk and | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Suffolk will stay very windy. The Met office Amber weather warning is | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
in force until eight o'clock this evening. The trend will be for those | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
winds to ease as we go to the evening and night. There is also | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
some patchy rain around as well. We have another problem to contend | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
with, which is clear skies developing and much colder air | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
coming our way. That will mean a much colder night than we have | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
experienced recently and we could be down as low as two Celsius, locally | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
down to freezing, so it brings with it the risk of frost and icy patches | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
where we have the earlier rain. So tomorrow, I completely different | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
picture, a much more calm picture. High pressure building in from the | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
south-west. It will be a cold start to the day and the day as a whole | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
will feel much colder. It will be largely dry, maybe just the isolated | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
shower first thing. Good spells of sunshine. It will be significantly | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
cooler, just six Celsius for some of us through tomorrow, but it will be | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
a welcome change to to moderate north-westerly | :26:43. | :26:57. | |
wind and a much more calm picture. For the afternoon, it will turn | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
cloudy from the West and eventually the chants of some rain arriving in | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
Western counties by the end of the night. Looking beyond, there is some | :27:03. | :27:04. | |
changeable weather on the way, milder air coming back for the | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
weekend but with the chants of some rain for Saturday. It could be | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
patchy rain first thing before more rain pushes in later. Both Saturday | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
and Sunday will be blustery. Sunday looks like the dryer of the two | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
days. It looks like an unsettled start to next week, but not as | :27:20. | :27:20. | |
windy. Just before we go, | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
huge congratulations He received his MBE from the Queen | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
today for services to gymnastics. The 24-year-old, who trains | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
in Basildon, said he's so proud to add those three letters | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
to his name. He just started to hold his hand out | :27:31. | :27:44. | |
to shake her hand, didn't the? Good evening. Goodbye. | :27:45. | :27:48. |
