Hello and welcome to the Look East late news. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Officers begin a painstaking search of a landfill site | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
near Cambridge for missing airman Corrie Mckeague. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
We go down a new mineshaft at Grimes Graves near Thetford | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
to find out how Stone Age man lived 5,000 years ago. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
And I will be here with your weather for the week ahead, | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Police officers have started a crucial stage in their search | :00:27. | :00:39. | |
for Corrie Mckeague, who went missing after a night out | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Today, they started sifting through tonnes of rubbish | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
in the search for the missing airman. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
A bin lorry made a collection in the town | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
shortly after Corrie was last seen on CCTV. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The lorry went to the landfill site at Milton, | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
This is such a big operation, it has taken the police more than two weeks | :01:02. | :01:18. | |
to prepare the groundwork. If you yards behind the gate is the | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
landfill, and they have two putting politics and sands repair access | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
roads. It could last 6-8 weeks. Diggers will take out the rubbish, | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
transfer it to a flat area, and then officers will go in and search for | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
clues. Today, specialist police search | :01:38. | :01:38. | |
teams are wearing Phyllis and jackets begin what could be | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
a mammoth, painstaking Almost item by item, | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
they will pick through 920 square They are booking for anything | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
that could be linked to I think there is a very strong | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
possibility that Corrie Mckeague if he is not, that leads us | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
to other vehicles that The people that have been spoken | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
to perhaps need spoken to again. These are the last now-familiar CCTV | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
shots of Corrie Mckeague before he went missing after a night out | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
in Bury St Edmunds town centre. The 23-year-old was seen going | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
in but not coming out of this area, Shortly after, a waste lorry took | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
away rubbish from one of these commercial bins | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
where he disappeared. Corrie Mckeague's mobile phone | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
was thought to be inside it. The lorry went to Barton Mills | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
and then onto Milton, 30 miles away In the early days of | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
the investigation, it was one We know that the refuge lorry did | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
travel between the two locations. And the times would correlate | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
loosely with the time at which the mobile telephone, | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
which colleague was mentioning, was picked up in Bury St Edmunds, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
and then moving over there. A few days into their investigation, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
police told operators at the Milton site not to put any | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
more rubbish in the area 19 weeks after Corrie Mckeague has | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
disappeared, the best answer as to what happened to him | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
could lie under here. Officers will delve to a depth of 26 | :03:19. | :03:33. | |
feet. One arrest of a 26 ruled in Saint Edmunds. Accusations of | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
perverting the cause of justice, he has been bailed. The family will be | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
expecting the worst but hoping for the best. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Steve Gaskin, a former Scotland Yard detective | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
who says searching landfill sites is hugely complex. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
I asked him what the decision to search meant they | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
I mean, you wouldn't enter into this sort of search without having | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
some idea that you're going to find something. | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Because, as we know, this is a huge operation | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
in terms of manpower, in terms of cost, and there is a lot | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
of work to be done to sift through effectively 8000 | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
And I suppose, as a cliche, as a police officer, | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
I have never seen a surge on this scale. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
And these police officers will be searching with | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Yeah, the thing is, it will be very easy to overlook things. | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
There is going to be all manner of detritus | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
And it will have to be some form of digger to remove the staff | :04:36. | :04:49. | |
you will have to go through that to determine what is useful | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
And of course, what they would do is that's, it is a joint operation | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
And they will need a specially trained officers to help with that. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Together with, I suspect, a forensic team. | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
And if it was me, I would want a pathologist on stand-by | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
You would expect, after five months a fair degree of decomposition. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
What, therefore, might be left to provide a positive identification? | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Surprisingly, even after this time, and we are talking about six | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
months ago, there will be the possibility of fingerprints. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
I know that sounds bizarre, but fingerprints are fairly | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
In other words, you can still get marks even after that time. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Your teeth do remain for a long, long time. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
So that will be the best way of identifying the person. | :05:39. | :05:50. | |
Equally important is, you have got to deal | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
Because you are dealing with a massive crime scene. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Any evidence that is accried needs to be dealt with in the same way | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Offshore wind experts say they remain confident that a factory | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
making turbine blades will be built in the East. | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
The first factory was built in Hull by the German company Siemens. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
But business leaders say another local Manufacturing base | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
It is a world-class factory, producing blades for wind farms off | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
But rather than being in Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth, this ?300 million | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
Made from hundreds of layers of fibreglass. | :06:25. | :06:36. | |
Many used to work in the local caravan industry, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
The blades we are producing at the moment are for | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Which is for our customer Dong Energy. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
We are also producing the wind turbines for the Dudgeon wind | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
farm, which is just off the coast of Croma. | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Over the last 13 years, lots of wind farms have been | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Some of the biggest are off Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Great efforts have gone into building up an onshore supply | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
chain to maximise the number of jobs for the region. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Which is why it is disappointing that, so far, we have missed out | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
on getting a blade factory of our own. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
Around them, clusters of companies supplying the needs | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
of what is a massive industry eventually locate themselves. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Chris Starkey is one of those who has lobbied | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
We know that, if all or most of the wind farms that | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
are planned come on stream, we will need an awful lot of blades. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
And that is far more than the Hull factory can produce on its own. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
And we think that Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft on the east coast | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a second | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
A consignment of blades leaves Hull for Norfolk. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
Perhaps in future, they might be made nearer to home. | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
5000 years ago, East Anglia was home to flint mining..Today a new mine | :08:01. | :08:18. | |
shaft opened to the public at Grimes Graves near Thetford. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
It is an extraordinary, lunar-like landscape. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
At Grimes Graves, hundreds of prehistoric flint | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
Now, a second shaft here is being opened to visitors. | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
But you will need to have a head for heights. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
It is incredible to think this shaft was made about 2000 BC. | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
The sides I am looking at would have been exactly what the Neolithic | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
It is very much an industrial site because they were clearly getting | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
In some cases, they were working it into some basic shapes. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
We know, because they found a Cornish greenstone axe in here. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
It is incredible to think that this 40-foot shaft was dug by miners | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
equipped with picks fashioned out of red deer antler. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
And this is what they are after - flint floor stone. | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
Greenwells pit will soon be welcoming small, guided groups, | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
the conservators here well aware of the need to protect this historic | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
We're back in Breakfast tomorrow from 6.30, but I'll say goodnight | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
and leave you in the hands of Julie with the weather. | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
Of tonight, Shell was drifting through. For most of us, dry with | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
clear spells. Underneath the Chris buys, temperatures could get lower | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
than these values towards freezing. It will be a chilly start of the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
day. This weather front pushing towards us from the south-west. | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
Apart from a few showers, fine and dry. Some spells of sunshine. That | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
should help to produce up to 10 Celsius. We finish the day fine and | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
dry. After. We will see the cloud thickening up. As the rain | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
associated with the weather front pushing eastwards, some on the heavy | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
side. It is associated with this weather front. Uncertainty as to how | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
quickly it will clear to the east. When he gets off to a cloudy start | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
with our great suffering. Hopefully the rain will eventually create and | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
we will see things becoming drier and brighter. -- outbreaks of rain. | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
Pressure pushing towards us but Thursday a dry day with some | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
sunshine. Some rain moving through during Thursday night into Friday. | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Cloudy on Friday with some outbreaks of rain. The national forecast | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
coming cool, it will be windy at times as | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
well and still rather unsettled with some blustery showers around. That's | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
the London forecast and now for the National forecast, over to Nick | :11:07. | :11:07. | |
Miller. North-west France and Plymouth were | :11:08. | :11:20. | |
miles apart weather-wise. This southern flank in north-west France | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
there was a wind gusts of 120 mph which we just dodged. That area of | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
low pressure continues to move quickly south-eastwards so that by | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
tomorrow it is in Italy on its southern flank, stormy in Sardinia | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
and around it strong winds blowing through south-east France. We've got | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
a little bump in the ice bars with lighter winds, a brief ridge of high | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
pressure, things briefly settled going into tomorrow, overnight there | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
are some showers around moving through western Scotland and | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
north-west England and the Midlands, clearing Wales, one or two in the | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
east, the North Sea | :11:56. | :11:56. |
