:00:12. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to a shorter edition of Look East.
:00:15. > :00:18.A strike over pay could disrupt this year's sugar beet campaign.
:00:18. > :00:25.Workers at British Sugar factories in Wissington, Bury St Edmunds and
:00:25. > :00:29.Cantley have rejected an offer of 3.5%.
:00:29. > :00:38.The region's British Sugar factories are waiting for the start
:00:38. > :00:48.of the beat campaign in two months. Hundreds of workers are to be
:00:48. > :00:48.
:00:49. > :00:53.balloted on strikes over pay. The Unite union are seeking a 5.5%.
:00:53. > :01:01.There are concerns about to strike because the industry is worth so
:01:01. > :01:05.much to the region's economy. British Sugar said its offer was
:01:05. > :01:08.fair and reasonable within the current economic conditions.
:01:08. > :01:11.A pensioner from Suffolk has criticised the sentence given to a
:01:11. > :01:16.serial burglar. Iris Rickwood was among 40 elderly people conned by
:01:16. > :01:25.29-year-old Luke Wall. He was jailed for seven years earlier this
:01:25. > :01:31.week. But Mrs Rickwood, who's 86, said that wasn't enough.
:01:31. > :01:36.I think he should be locked up for life, really. He has only come out
:01:36. > :01:41.of prison three weeks, and if he is short of money again, he will go
:01:41. > :01:43.around robbing him. I expect he is on drugs.
:01:43. > :01:47.Plans for the new town of Northstowe near Cambridge are being
:01:47. > :01:53.relaunched. Up to 10,000 homes could be built and construction
:01:53. > :02:03.could begin within 18 months. The recession brought North Stoke
:02:03. > :02:04.
:02:04. > :02:10.to a halt. The real concern is the A14, and bang on cue, you can see
:02:10. > :02:13.that the westbound lane is at a standstill. This is rearranging the
:02:13. > :02:19.deckchairs on the Titanic, because everyone knows that without a major
:02:19. > :02:23.upgrade of the A14, this area is essentially a log jam. It is
:02:23. > :02:27.understood minor improvements to the A14 a being assessed, and the
:02:27. > :02:36.local council and developers hope these, coupled with the new guided
:02:36. > :02:40.bus, will mean congestion won't rise significantly.
:02:40. > :02:42.The Queen and Prince Philip paid a visit today to Bletchley Park, the
:02:42. > :02:45.home of the wartime code-breakers. They toured the park, met veterans
:02:45. > :02:49.and heard how the staff there brought the war to a speedier
:02:49. > :02:52.conclusion. It was a date for the Queen to pay
:02:52. > :03:00.tribute to Bletchley Park, giving recognition to the work which she
:03:00. > :03:07.said was impossible to underestimate. She saw re creation
:03:07. > :03:12.of the machine which helped cracked the Enigma code. The work was so
:03:12. > :03:16.secret, it was only really now talked about. There was a war. You
:03:16. > :03:22.worked as hard as you could, you did your best, and he didn't think
:03:22. > :03:26.about recognition. You still don't. We thought she was really nice.
:03:26. > :03:30.looked lovely. The Queen said the day was her chance to give her
:03:30. > :03:33.heart felt thanks on behalf of an eternally grateful nation.
:03:33. > :03:43.Let's get the weekend weather now from Alex, who's at the Latitude
:03:43. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:48.Hello there. It has been a gorgeous day here at latitude, but
:03:48. > :03:52.unfortunately the fine weather isn't going to last. I will start
:03:52. > :03:57.with the pressure chart, so you can see where the low pressure is.
:03:57. > :04:01.Things are going to be increasingly unsettled, with rain to start the
:04:01. > :04:06.weekend turning to showers. It will turn increasingly cloudy from the
:04:06. > :04:16.West, and overnight, that cloud could develop the odds bottle to of
:04:16. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:22.light rain. During the night, the wind will Pickup. For all of us
:04:22. > :04:27.tomorrow, a wet start to the day, heavy rain crossing the region. It
:04:27. > :04:32.will eventually clear by lunchtime in the West. It should brighten up,
:04:32. > :04:42.but behind it, we can see some heavy showers. Temperatures
:04:42. > :04:48.tomorrow will take an knock. And for Sunday, the rest of Saturday,
