:00:15. > :00:19.Good evening. Extra police on patrol along the A 14 this evening
:00:19. > :00:23.after yet another car was hit by stones thrown from a bridge. The
:00:24. > :00:29.latest incident happened just north of Newmarket. Nobody was heard this
:00:29. > :00:34.time but it is the 7th case of its time -- of its type in the region
:00:34. > :00:39.this month. One small lives have been put at risk. This time a man
:00:39. > :00:46.from Norfolk driving a friend to Cambridge to catch a train. It was
:00:46. > :00:51.at 4:15pm yesterday, his car hit by stones. The windscreens smashed,
:00:51. > :00:54.they escaped unharmed. It is the latest in a series of similar
:00:54. > :00:59.incidents this month. On the 1st December a concrete block was
:00:59. > :01:04.thrown from a bridge on the a 12 in Essex, 30 minutes later, a woman
:01:04. > :01:10.was badly injured. The block of concrete going through her car
:01:10. > :01:15.windscreen. A former later rocks were held at drivers on the a 14 at
:01:15. > :01:20.St Mary. Then three more instance in Suffolk, a car, an ambulance and
:01:20. > :01:25.three more lorries were damaged. Police say they could be dealing
:01:25. > :01:31.with copycat incidents. There has been a lot of publicity, regionally
:01:31. > :01:36.and nationally. Incredible as it sounds, it may be that some people
:01:36. > :01:40.have thought it is a good idea and are doing something of a copycat
:01:40. > :01:46.nature. It could have been catastrophic in terms of
:01:46. > :01:49.consequences. Police have stepped up patrols in terms of market and
:01:49. > :01:53.unmarked police cars and a helicopter. They have tried to
:01:53. > :01:57.establish a profile of likely offenders by examining the times
:01:57. > :02:01.and places where the incidence take place. Above all, they need
:02:01. > :02:11.intelligence, information from the public. They say if they see anyone
:02:11. > :02:14.acting suspiciously on bridges, they should dial 999 immediately.
:02:14. > :02:18.Two people are being held by Cambridgeshire police in connection
:02:18. > :02:24.with a death of a man in Chittering. Officers announced yesterday a man
:02:24. > :02:28.was arrested. Today it emerged they have also picked up a 21 year-old
:02:28. > :02:33.woman on suspicion of assisting an offender.
:02:33. > :02:37.100 jobs could be created by an engineering firm in Lowestoft, they
:02:37. > :02:41.have won a multi-million pound contract to build accommodation rig
:02:41. > :02:46.for oil workers. It marks a major turnaround for the company which
:02:46. > :02:52.went into administration last year. Retail analysts are warning it will
:02:52. > :02:56.be another tough year for our shops. With that in mind, we have been
:02:56. > :03:05.focusing on trade in the centre in Milton Keynes, we were last there
:03:05. > :03:10.three days before Christmas. How has trade been since then?
:03:10. > :03:18.Everywhere you look, the signs are calling out to you. Do you want
:03:18. > :03:24.something shiny? Whatever it is, the signs are clear. Chances are it
:03:24. > :03:29.is on sale. But is anyone buying? Being a bit more careful, not as
:03:29. > :03:33.mad as previous years but still enjoying the sales. So spending
:03:33. > :03:38.more at Christmas and more in the sales. More bargains if you look
:03:38. > :03:44.carefully enough. Those are the shoppers, and there was certainly a
:03:44. > :03:49.steady stream of them today. But what about our retailers?
:03:49. > :03:54.Discounted, devalued, depressing. That was last week, has anything
:03:55. > :04:00.changed? It has been quite robust so far. Post-Christmas sales can
:04:00. > :04:05.never make up for money lost before Christmas, before Christmas you
:04:05. > :04:10.hope to sell at full price and make a good profit. After Christmas you
:04:10. > :04:16.are selling just to get cash in. Last week John Lewis saw a surge in
:04:16. > :04:21.shoppers after a sluggish start. The autumn weather meant a slow
:04:21. > :04:27.start, but that has continued into Christmas. With clearance under way,
:04:27. > :04:31.it has not been better. Milton Keynes was incredibly busy. I have
:04:31. > :04:36.never seen so many shoppers in our shop. The things might be picking
:04:36. > :04:44.up, but will the road signs be enough to help the Return to stay
:04:44. > :04:48.out of the red? I onto football, nearly 27,000
:04:48. > :04:54.people were at Carrow Road last night, Norwich lost 2-0 to Spurs,
:04:54. > :05:00.but remain 11th in the table. Boxing Day Plus One, the visitors
:05:00. > :05:05.riding on the coat-tails of the Manchester two. On an unseasonally
:05:05. > :05:10.warm night, Spurs showed what they could do from the start. Gareth
:05:10. > :05:14.Bale running feet rejig to Norwich back four ragged. Gareth Bale would
:05:14. > :05:19.not be denied after the break, he found the net 10 minutes in after
:05:19. > :05:24.some nifty footwork from Emmanuel Adebayor. 10 minutes later, Gareth
:05:24. > :05:29.Bale looked on to Luka Modric's through-ball, to spend 45 yards
:05:29. > :05:32.before lifting the Macgregor over John Ruddy. No way back for Norwich,
:05:32. > :05:40.who did not see enough of the Macgregor on the night to pay
:05:40. > :05:45.something together. We gave it everything we had, but the goals
:05:45. > :05:50.were disappointing. I cannot fault the effort we showed. A Norwich
:05:50. > :05:54.have done great, Paul Lambert has done a great job. If they stay in
:05:54. > :05:59.the league this year, it will be a fantastic achievement. They have a
:05:59. > :06:04.great chance. Norwich are 11th and looking good on their return to the
:06:04. > :06:09.Premier League. At this stage last season blackball had four points
:06:09. > :06:19.more and still went down. Much more to do and three points at home to
:06:19. > :06:19.
:06:20. > :06:23.Fulham would do very nicely. -- Remark a blue mud across Christmas
:06:23. > :06:29.and the theme for the next few days as long similar lines. Rain at
:06:29. > :06:34.times but nothing in the way of the white stuff. Mod except for the
:06:34. > :06:37.next 24 hours. Quite a deep area of low pressure over Scotland, win
:06:37. > :06:42.smoothing down towards us. It seems it will be quite a chilly night
:06:42. > :06:45.tonight. Clear skies for the most part, showers over the western
:06:46. > :06:50.region. Cloud flooding back in from the West, by the end of the night
:06:50. > :06:57.temperatures down to two or three degrees Celsius, around 37
:06:57. > :07:01.Fahrenheit. No frost tonight, Prees moderate, quite fresh. It will be a
:07:01. > :07:05.cold end to the night. The theme will be continued tomorrow, they
:07:05. > :07:09.rather blustery day, areas of cloud coming through. A few fleeting
:07:09. > :07:13.showers, most of them will be moving through rather quickly. By
:07:13. > :07:17.the middle of the day temperatures will be at their best, six or seven
:07:17. > :07:22.degrees Celsius, three or four degrees down on what experience
:07:22. > :07:26.today. A moderate, fresh breeze in land. Gale force at times around
:07:26. > :07:30.the coast. For the next few days, on Friday, in the afternoon we
:07:30. > :07:36.should see things moving away, then it is a case of Friday being rather
:07:36. > :07:39.cloudy, tempt a similar to tomorrow, Saturday promising. As we move into
:07:39. > :07:43.the new year it is looking reasonably mild, temperatures of
:07:43. > :07:46.around eight or nine degrees. Then temperatures dipping down to
