I hope he gets locked up and they throw the key away. I will be | :00:26. | :00:31. | |

A huge rise in ambulances having to queue | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
When we cannot release ambulance crews in a timely manner thdre is a | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
direct impact on the servicd and of course in the community. | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Dawn chorus - the birdwatchdrs flocking to the Lincolnshird coast | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
More showers in the forecast tomorrow as well. I will be back | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
later with all the details. This is Elizabeth Edwards | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
and her 13-year-old daughter Katie. Both were murdered as they slept | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
in their beds Today at Nottingham Crown Court | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
a 15-year-old girl was found guilty of their murder along | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
with her former boyfriend who'd Both were just 14 at | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
the time of the killings. Tonight we'll be live with our | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
reporter Leanne Brown, who's been in court throughout | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
the five day trial. These murders were born out of an | :01:34. | :01:45. | |
intense relationship and carefully planned... | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
where the town is still tryhng to come to terms with what happened | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
People tell me they are the shops now as they were back in April when | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
they learned the full horror of what happened here. | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
And we'll be asking a criminologist why such young teenagers cotld have | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
been driven to commit such violent crimes. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
We start tonight though at Nottingham Crown Court | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
The girl showed no emotion `t all when the verdict was read ott but | :02:10. | :02:22. | |
there were cries and gusts from the public gallery. The jury took only | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
2.5 hours to reach the verdhct, one of guilty on two counts of lurder. I | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
have been here throughout this five-day trial at Nottinghal Crown | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Court in which the jury heard graphic details about what happened | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
to Elizabeth Edwards and her 13-year-old daughter, Katie. It was | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
the boy who carried out the act stabbing them in the throat and | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
targeting their voice boxes so they would not scream. He smothered them | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
with a pillow as well. The court heard she was the driving force | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
helping to plan it and watch it It was a crime that has shocked on many | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
levels, not only because of their age, but the brutality and the fact | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
that even today no remorse has been shown. The lives of a loving mother | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
and daughter destroyed by two teenage killers. Liz was st`bbed | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
eight times and her daughter twice with a 20 centimetre kitchen knife. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
It was then left in Katie's bedroom. In an interview the 15-year,old girl | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
revealed there was a bag of knives. She said a gun would have bden | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
easier but we do not really have many in this country, so knhves were | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the easier option. I picked up the medium knife... | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
The boy carried out the att`ck but the pair plans the killings together | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
on the 10th of April. They `ttempted to carry them out on Monday and | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Tuesday but it was not until Wednesday night the murders took | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
place. On Thursday, friends and the police visited the house, btt there | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
was no response. Police rettrned again on Friday the 15th of April | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
and found both of them dead in their beds. They had been there for around | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
36 hours before they were discovered. Described as rational | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
and cold, what happened had a devastating effect on the f`mily. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
What makes this case even more shocking is that these two were 14 | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
years of age when they planned and committed these callous, senseless | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
and unprovoked attacks on Elizabeth and Katie. This case has left a | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
number of lives in ruins. After the killings of the girl was sedn by a | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
sick are dressed. She told him, iPod laid-back about what we had done... | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
It was also revealed her relationship with the boy w`s a | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
ticking time bomb and Doctor Joseph said if they had not... | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
The jury heard how the teen`ged couple had a bath and watch the | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
vampire film Twilight after the killings. They now have the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
notoriety of being labelled the youngest ever British coupld to be | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
convicted of a double murder. The pair cannot be named for legal | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
reasons. They have been rem`nded in secure accommodation and will be | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
sentenced in November. In wrapping up proceedings today the judge | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
thanked the jury for their service and said it had been an excdptional | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
case in many ways. The Brown reporting. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Spalding is a quiet market town in Lincolnshire which has bden left | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
stunned by the killings of Elizabeth Edwards | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Our reporter Kate Sweeting is there this evening. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
What's been the reaction to today's verdict. | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
As you say, this is a rural market town in Lincolnshire which has heard | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
graphic details about the mtrder of a well liked mother and daughter. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
They were murdered by two children growing up in the town, a ghrl and | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
boy, and we heard the girl had a grudge against one of her vhctims, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
the 49-year-old Elizabeth Edwards. Some of the people I've spoken to | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
have been hostile to the media attention and you could say | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
understandably so because it is a quiet place to live, now thrust into | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
the media spotlight for the worst possible reason. What has h`ppened | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
in this house has shocked at the local community. 49-year-old | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Elizabeth Edwards and her 13-year-old daughter Katie were | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
stabbed in the neck and smothered while they slept. She was a lovely | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
woman. I could not fault her in any way. I am not the only person that | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
says that, loads of people say that. A young girl like that, she is | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
lovely, a stunning girl. Th`t is how her life ended, should not have | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
ended like that. Sheena and Susan have set up a memorial wherd | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
residents can remember a popular mother and daughter. Just for me she | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
was funny and she did not know she was funny. You never saw Katie | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
without a smile. Never saw her miserable. Always smiling. Dlizabeth | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
was a dinner lady and this primary School. When she do not turn up for | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
work concern was raised. Shd would always drop a letter in with one of | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
the mums going by and say, just drop that into the school, she would | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
always let people know. I w`s a bit concerned she had not been hn but | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
not actually realising how serious it was. The pair lay dead for a day | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
and a half before they were discovered by police. Jane was a | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
friend but also knew the tednagers who killed them. Scum. I have got | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
nothing to say. I hope they get locked up and they throw thd key | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
away. I'll be honest, I really do, she was a nice lady, did not deserve | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
that. They have got to be accountable for what they h`ve done. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Erasing the tragedy of what happened will be difficult but residdnts are | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
determined to remember Liz `nd Katie as a kind, funny and loving mother | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
and daughter. As you saw in my report fridnds and | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
family of lives and Katie h`ve put up memorial plaques in this garden | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
where they can come and remdmber them. From your friends fordver in | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
our hearts, Katie is singing and playing with the angels. We heard | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Katie loved singing and lovd drama. This is a tragedy which will stay in | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
the minds of people here for a long time to come. Thank you, Kate in | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Spalding. Earlier I spoke to Dr Franchs Pakes, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
a criminologist who specialhses in youth crime, and asked hhm how | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
two young people who'd been together for less than a year could conspire | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
to commit such an act? It is quite an extraordinarx set of | :08:49. | :09:00. | |
events. It is something which is so uncommon that at first it bdggars | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
belief. It does make you wonder about the extraordinary | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
interpersonal dynamics which must have taken place. Can being in a | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
pair or a group be different in what people will do to... Compardd to | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
being on your own? Behaviour in a group is essentially differdnt from | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
individual behaviour becausd of the dynamics between the individuals. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
One of the psychological phdnomenon I was reminded in learning `bout | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
case is the so-called risky shipped, that small groups can come to | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
decisions and behaviours whhch are simply more extreme and dangerous | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
than individuals by themselves. How shocked are you by the eviddnce by | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
the psychiatrist that the ghrl showed absolutely no remorsd, or did | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
not look upset in the conversation? It is quite extraordinary. This | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
whole case is of an extraordinary nature and that makes it very | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
difficult to understand. I understand there was a cert`in calm | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
in the planning and preparation of the event and a sense of relief and | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
calm on behalf of the defendant afterwards. That is the last you | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
would expect, particularly from individuals as young as in this | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
case. Everybody watching tonight will be asking, they will bd | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
staggered that a 14-year-old girl, or boy, could do something like | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
this. We must remember how extraordinary this is. It is not | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
that children never kill because on occasions they do. They tend to be a | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
few cases each year in this country. We know in principle they are | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
capable. What is even more rare is this calm preparation and the sense | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
of calm and emotion being lhmited to relief. It suggests even at this | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
young age these individuals have felt a strong sense of alienation | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
from mainstream values and alienation from society as ` whole. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
Very good to talk to you tonight. Thank you for your time. Other | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
news... Staff in Immingham and Hull | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
are waiting to hear whether they'll be affected by job losses at DB | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
Cargo. The company is planning | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
to make almost 900 workers Unions say they want | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
to speak to the management DB Cargo has blamed a fall hn rail | :11:24. | :11:26. | |

defence system designed to protect A 520 metre glass wall has been | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
built to defend the village It's part of a three | :11:38. | :11:42. | |

from tidal events on the Hulber We had a recent one in 2013 | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
which was a close shave. This hopefully now provides | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
the protection and the reassurance for the community but it is also | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
part of a wider package. It's never enough, | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
you can always do more, But from what we can see | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
at the moment this protects An MEP from the East Midlands has | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
defended a Hull based UKIP politician over claims | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
he punched a rival. Steven Woolfe left UKIP yesterday | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
after claiming he was hit during a row with Mike Hookdm, | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
who represents Yorkshire Mr Hookem told the BBC he h`dn't | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
landed a punch and that's bden I did not see the actual | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
action because it was in I was in the room when | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
the meeting was taking placd. Steven Woolfe returned | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
to the meeting. He sort of fell into the room | :12:46. | :12:46. | |
but he immediately got up, resumed his seat, talked normally | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
and I personally could see no sign The number | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
of ambulances waiting over `n hour And the early bird catches the worm | :12:55. | :13:08. | |
- birdwatchers flock to the Lincolnshire coast to see | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
a special migration. Keep your photographs coming into | :13:17. | :13:29. | |
night. That was taken by Andrew sunset at the Humber Bridge. Thank | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
you very much indeed for th`t. One minute they blackened night and then | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
the sun is out. Let's get the forecast. Also quite cold, wasn t | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
it, Peter? Chile and autumn`l and heavy downpours. We will sthll have | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
some shelves tomorrow. Most focused in eastern areas. -- showers. A | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
number of rainbows. High prdssure will build from the West through the | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
week but low-pressure sitting out to the east, meaning along the coast we | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
could get this from BC, quite breezy and showery and inland we whll have | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
some pleasant autumnal days, cool and misty mornings and dry `nd | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
bright afternoons. We can sde on these pictures, this will p`ss | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
through and we have got this big area of showers really giving | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
downpours, they will continte to clear up this evening. Tonight is | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
not bad at all, dry, fine and broken cloud, wind lightening a little and | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
allowing shallow mist patchds to develop. Cooler in the countryside. | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
A chilly start I think to the day tomorrow, particularly relate. The | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
sun will rise in the morning at 737, setting at 554, high water times of | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
this evening... We starts tomorrow on a pleasant note and throtghout | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
there will be a good deal of dry bright weather with spells of | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
sunshine. You can see as it progresses some showers cropping up, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
hit and miss for the inland areas, on the coast when it is windy, you | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
are more likely to catch a number of showers but we will have gaps and | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
sunshine in between. Temper`ture is perhaps a touch higher than today, | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
getting up to around 12 or 03 degrees, 13 is 55 Fahrenheit. The | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
coast this week, always mord risk of catching windy conditions and some | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
showers, and further inland you are, a bit more in the way pleas`nt | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
autumnal sunshine. Thank yot very much indeed. | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
The number of patients being kept waiting for more than an hotr | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
in ambulances outside A h`s more than trebled in two years at some | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
hospitals in our area according to new figures obtained | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
Ambulances should be able to hand over patients to A staff | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Hospital managers say they're working hard to tackle the delays | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
as our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson now reports. | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
Ambulances queueing up outside our hospitals, | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
an increasingly common sight as emergency departments get | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
The government target for handovers is | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
15 minutes and hospitals face penalties of up to ?1,000 for every | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
It is not a good experience for the patients | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
ambulance or on a trolley in hospital waiting to be handdd over | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
but more importantly we havd patients in the community w`iting | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
for an ambulance response and clearly | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
we are unable to respond in | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
the timeframe we are required to do so. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
The East Midlands service s`y over 6,000 patients were | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
left waiting more than one hour outside emergency | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
Latest figures show the number had trebled to more than 18,000. | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
In the same period the Yorkshire ambulance | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
service report there were | :16:55. | :16:55. | |
1,400 patients waiting more than 60 minutes, | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
Managers at Lincoln County say some of the delays were because of a | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
shortage of beds elsewhere in the hospital. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Today we've got about 40 patients on-site medically fit for | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
discharge who could go to another place of care if there was capacity | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
All that culminated in a problem with a and E | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
were the bottleneck is | :17:21. | :17:21. | |
and why we sometimes see people waiting. | :17:22. | :17:22. | |
Here in Scunthorpe staff introduced a handover system six months ago. | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
You're met by a nurse who can do a handover, | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
do a quick assessment and | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
initiate initial treatment or assess if patients | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
go to a specialist unit or if they need to see | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
We used to have around six patients a day | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
waiting over the 60 minutes, that is right down to one. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
In times obviously when we `re busy it is difficult. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Paramedics from East Midlands service say | :17:53. | :17:53. | |
difference in turnaround tiles at Northern Lincolnshire hospitals and | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
say they hope the scheme will soon be adopted | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
We will ask for your views on this one in just a moment. | :18:00. | :18:15. | |
Jon Ashworth is the Shadow Health Secretary. | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
I spoke to him earlier and `sked him why he was describing | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
I think it indicates the crhsis in a and E departments where it has got | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
massive pressure because of the financial mismanagement of the NHS | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
and also because of issues `ffecting the social care sector. Last week an | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
independent report said it was on the verge of tipping point. What we | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
are saying is these ambulance waiting times are not on, not what | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
patients expect. We want ministers to get a grip quickly. When Labour | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
left power you are putting just 100 billion into the NHS and last year | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
the Conservative government put 120 million. -- just 100 million. It is | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
not just money. Is that the point you were trying to make? It is not | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
just how the money is managdd but also the fact that the Consdrvatives | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
in six years cut quite deeply into the social care budgets thex give to | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
the local councils. But thex are putting more into the NHS. Hn the | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
last election they promised more money than Labor Day. How would you | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
do things differently and m`ke it right? -- Labour Party did. I'm not | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
making a political point. I making a point on the behalf of patidnts | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
waiting for more than one hour. If you cut as the Conservative | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
government has done that will impact on the NHS because people nded to | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
leave their hospitals and bdds and moved to the social care sector but | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
the capacity is not there bdcause of the deep cuts we have seen hn social | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
care. More broadly, the govdrnment say they will be making ?22 billion | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
of efficiencies, but in a lot of cases it means cuts. A government | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
minister yesterday was talkhng about cutting many community pharlacies | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
across Yorkshire and Humber. -- ministers were talking about. A cut | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
would be governed are going to introduce will probably havd a | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
greater financial impact on the NHS. These are the decisions we want them | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
to think again upon. What would you do differently if you were `ctually | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
the health secretary? We have got to look at how the finances ard | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
managed. Would you put more money into the NHS than you did l`st time? | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
Because last time you were being beaten by the Conservatives. There | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
is no question the NHS needs more money. A lot of senior Consdrvative | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
ministers in the cabinet did tell us some weeks ago we would get 350 | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
million for the NHS... That was not my question... I understand that, | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
I'm asking if you would put more money in than the Conservathves if | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
you were in power. We think the NHS needs greater financing than it has | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
at the moment. Thank you very much indeed. The shadow health mhnister | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
talking to me earlier. Let us know what you | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
think about this story. What's the solution to treating | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
ambulance patients more quickly Is there ONE simple fix to this | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
or is it a combination of m`ny This is how to get in touch. Is | :21:13. | :21:25. | |
money the answer or is it a vicious circle leading to more problems The | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
address is there. The text number... Or follow me on Twitter... Nice and | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
quick on that story and we will have some before we finish at seven | :21:39. | :21:39. | |
o'clock. Thanks to everyone who's bedn | :21:40. | :21:40. | |
in touch about the business leaders in East Yorkshire claiming that | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
small firms are being let down by the rapid | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
closure of bank branches. The Federation of Small Bushnesses | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
has warned that small and medium sized businesses - | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
many of which deal in cash and cheques - | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
face tough challenges as br`nches Always a very emotive issue. Thank | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
you very much for those. Hull trains has won | :21:55. | :22:43. | |
the Rail Operator of the Ye`r award The company, which launched | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
in the year 2000, says it's down to continual investment | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
in its trains and improvements We knew we had a business and | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
product performing for the customers but winning it is unusual. We are a | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
relatively small business for the rail industry, up against l`rge | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
franchises, government franchises, so winning something when wd are a | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
much smaller business is a great endorsement to our people and great | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
for the city as well. It certainly is, congratulations Hull tr`ins | :23:20. | :23:21. | |

It was an early start this lorning for hundreds of bird watchers | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
who gathered on the East Co`st for a special event organisdd | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
The 'High Tide Breakfast' at Gibraltar Point near Skegness | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
was organised to allow people to see some of the tens of thousands | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
of migrating birds which are currently feeding | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Paul Murphy was there. | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
Dawn over the Lincolnshire wash an area renowned for birdlife `nd as | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
high tide coincided with first light, the bird-watchers were here, | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
as well. They were hoping for a glimpse of something special. The | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
birds we have seen and weather flocks... They migrate all the way | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
from the Arctic, which is astonishing and I find it | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
astonishing. They sometimes spend winter in the Wash. They spdnt high | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
tide out there in big numbers. Possibly anything up to abott 8 ,000 | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
birds. 80,000? 80,000, coming at the height of the tide. The event | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
organised at the Gibraltar point visitors centre is called the high | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
tide breakfast. It has provdd popular. The weather has turned a | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
little bit for the worse. It was cold earlier and now it is cold wet | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
and windy but it is great bdcause we can come to the centre, warl up | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
again and enjoy breakfast. Ht is the peak time of year for bird | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
migration. This has been ond of the highest tides of the year and it has | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
come in over thousands of acres of mud flat and driven migrating birds | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
inland. Unfortunately it is also brought the rain with it. Bhrds are | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
expected to continue flocking here throughout the winter months. The | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
wildlife trust said the new visitor centre has played a big part in | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
bringing many more people into the special place. | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
A 15-year-old girl is found guilty of murdering | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
Elizabeth Edwards and her daughter Katie in Spalding. | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
The teenager will be sentenced along with a 15-year-old boy who pleaded | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
guilty to the murders which shocked a community. | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
The weather tomorrow - plenty of dry weather | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
through the morning with sunny spells. | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
Showers will develop though, most frequent in eastern ardas | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
That is 55 Fahrenheit. We are talking about the waiting thme for | :26:52. | :27:03. | |
ambulances outside accident and emergency. Responses are coling in. | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Carol, if they sorted it out properly and put money in instead of | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
cutting budgets and closing care homes, and respite places, they | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
might be able to organise hospitals better. Steve, it is a growhng | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
population, not just the elderly. We need to admit immigration is also a | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
factor. Finally, Margaret, how on earth does anybody expect this | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
situation to improve when wd have a rapidly growing population but not | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
enough hospital staff? An elotive issue, still coming in, thank you | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
for them and thank you for watching. Have a nice evening. Join us later | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
if you can at half past ten, if not, I will see you tomorrow night at | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
half past six as usual. Goodbye for now. | :27:47. | :27:48. |
