Hello. Supporters of hunting have been gathering across the region | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
for their traditional Boxing Day meet. At Fakenham in Norfolk, there | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
were calls for the ban on hunting with dogs to be repealed. It comes | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
after the Agriculture Minister and South East Cambridgeshire MP James | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Paice said the ban wasn't working. Centuries-old, countryside | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
tradition? Or outdated cruelty? You might have thought this debate was | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
over when the ban on hunting with dogs was introduced. Now it is back. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
James Paice wants to repeal the ban and has plenty of support. This | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Norfolk MP says the ban is not working and a code of conduct | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
should be introduced instead. is not about a right-wing issue, | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
not about wealth. It is about a traditional people in the | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
countryside who love their country sports and hunt and want to be free | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
to live in the countryside the way we love to. But other MPs from this | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
region say repealing the ban should be simply out of the question. | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
hunting is something largely barbaric. What we have is a few | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
people's pleasure to hunt an animal to exhaustion and then see it torn | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
to pieces. It is good we can put that in the history books. It has | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
been described as barbaric and cruel, but those here say the | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
practice is misunderstood. I do not think it is cruelty, it is politics. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
I hunt twice a week or wherever I am on Boxing Day. It is a British | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
and English edition. Today this hunt was well within the law. It | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
followed a centred trail. The coalition agreement has promised a | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
free vote for MPs on this issue. Once again, the tradition of the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
hunt is turning into a divisive debate. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Prince Philip missed the Royal Family's annual Boxing Day shoot on | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk as he faces a fourth night in | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
hospital. The Duke of Edinburgh is currently in Papworth Hospital near | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Cambridge. He's said to be comfortable. He had a stent fitted | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
after experiencing chest pains. A woman was rescued from a house | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
fire in Benfleet in Essex after becoming trapped upstairs by the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
flames. Three engines were called out on Christmas night to the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
property in the High Road. Operators at the Essex Fire Service | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
control room stayed on the phone, persuading her not to jump out of a | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
window as crews were on their way. They eventually led the woman down | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
on a ladder. Bargain hunters have been out in | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
their thousands at shops across the East today. In Milton Keynes, | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
people queued from one o'clock this morning for Boxing Day sales. The | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
main shopping centre there says business have been strong right | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
through the holiday period. We had 2000 guests waiting around the | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
stores at 6 o'clock in the morning. 10,000 guests in the first hour. | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
That is an improvement on last year. We had a very strong last week of | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Christmas. A lot of stores went into sale early, with great | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
23rd December was the biggest trading day so far on record. It | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
has been a strong Christmas. On to football. Most of our teams | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
were in action this afternoon. In the Championship, Ipswich drew at | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Leicester. Peterborough snatched three points at Nottingham Forest. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
In League One, Colchester were at the receiving end of a 6-1 | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
thrashing at home to Stevenage. MK Dons scored an impressive away win | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
at Leyton Orient. And in League Two, Southend's game against Aldershot | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
was abandoned at half time due to floodlight failure. Northampton | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
went down 2-3 against Burton Albion at Sixfields. Norwich host | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
Tottenham tomorrow evening. Let's take a look at the weather. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
