:00:11. > :00:18.First tonight - the new animal disease spreading to farms across
:00:18. > :00:22.the region. It affects sheep and cattle and so far there is no cure.
:00:22. > :00:30.1 the you try to do your best, sometimes you feel you are letting
:00:30. > :00:34.them down but there is nothing you can do about it. 24 years in jail

:00:56. > :01:01.family who have had their holiday First tonight, the new animal
:01:01. > :01:04.disease spreading to farms across the region. It affects the sheep
:01:04. > :01:07.and cattle and so far there is no cure.
:01:07. > :01:10.It's called the Schmallenberg Virus after the town in Germany where it
:01:10. > :01:13.was first seen. It affects sheep, cattle, goats and deer and causes
:01:13. > :01:16.stillbirths and birth defects. The virus is spread by midges and has
:01:16. > :01:21.moved into the UK from the Continent. On January 23rd it was
:01:21. > :01:25.seen in Norfolk, Suffolk, and East Sussex. By January 31st it had
:01:25. > :01:28.spread into Essex and Kent. Now, the virus is present in Norfolk,
:01:28. > :01:33.Suffolk, Essex, and Hertfordshire and in east and west Sussex, Kent,
:01:33. > :01:43.Surrey, Hampshire, Cornwall and Wiltshire. Jozef Hall has spent
:01:43. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:52.today on two of our affected farms. This disease is a really nasty
:01:52. > :01:57.disease. Make no mistake about it, also a very young disease so not
:01:57. > :02:01.much is known about it. Farmers across England are already being
:02:01. > :02:07.affected and those who have been have already found out very clearly
:02:07. > :02:11.that it is something most unwelcome. I must warn you that this report
:02:11. > :02:21.contain some graphic images. As you can see, you cannot see anything
:02:21. > :02:25.wrong with them, and we are hoping that these have not been affected.
:02:25. > :02:29.Clive has been in farming for over 40 years, through blue tongue and
:02:29. > :02:35.foot and mouth, but he says the invisible nature of this disease
:02:35. > :02:42.means you do not know until it is too late. This is a typical
:02:42. > :02:48.affected Lamb, a deformed head, the neck is twisted round, the joints
:02:48. > :02:53.are fused, so they don't bend, the back legs are tucked underneath and
:02:53. > :02:59.don't straighten out. It is hoped affected animals will build up
:02:59. > :03:05.antibodies to stop it in the future, similar to chicken pox. One of the
:03:05. > :03:11.few positives to be found. We have been quite lucky relative to some
:03:11. > :03:18.stories I have heard, we have lost about 75 lambs, which in monetary
:03:19. > :03:24.terms is about �7,000 worth of sales. It is not just the places
:03:24. > :03:28.with confirmed outbreaks which are suffering, farms across the country,
:03:28. > :03:33.like this one in Hertfordshire, are holding their breath to see if they
:03:33. > :03:37.will be next. We have had cases in this county and surrounding
:03:37. > :03:41.counties, we start lambing this weekend and I would be very
:03:42. > :03:46.surprised if we come through it without being affected. With
:03:46. > :03:50.outbreaks across Europe, a combined effort is underway to find an
:03:50. > :03:55.effective vaccine. The general consensus suggests that his two
:03:55. > :04:01.years away. Until then, farmers like Robert and Clive can only
:04:01. > :04:11.watch and hope. So, here at this farm, thankfully at the moment no
:04:11. > :04:12.
:04:12. > :04:19.cases identified. I have spoken to France earlier, 58 have been spoken
:04:19. > :04:23.and the revised figure is now 74 farms. Those also include the I'll
:04:23. > :04:26.of Wight, Wiltshire, West Berkshire and Gloucestershire. They made the
:04:26. > :04:32.point that it is not surprising more cases are coming out because
:04:32. > :04:36.we are in the lambing season. The more farms are Lamming be more will
:04:36. > :04:41.find they have this horrible disease. They have advised to farms
:04:41. > :04:45.who may be concerned, they say they should take the standard measures
:04:45. > :04:48.which would be in place for other endemic diseases.
:04:48. > :04:52.Dr Dan Tucker is from the Vet school at Cambridge University.
:04:52. > :04:59.When I spoke to him late this afternoon he told me what can be
:04:59. > :05:04.done to stop the spread of the virus. Early days to work out how
:05:04. > :05:08.we will stop the spread of the boroughs, but we must understand
:05:08. > :05:13.where the cases are occurring and to get those investigated. In terms
:05:13. > :05:18.of understanding how to stop it, we need to understand how it is spread.
:05:18. > :05:26.We need to understand that, when the hibernation period ends for
:05:26. > :05:31.these images, spreading the virus. It is about waiting. There is
:05:31. > :05:36.nothing that farmers can do? Unfortunately, if it is going to
:05:36. > :05:41.happen, it will already have happened. In October,
:05:41. > :05:46.meteorologists thought that a plume of insects came over from Europe,
:05:46. > :05:50.in mainland Europe where they see many cases of this. That was in
:05:50. > :05:56.October, the insects will have bitten and caused infections after
:05:56. > :06:05.the she pregnant and I am afraid we are going to see those pregnancies
:06:05. > :06:09.coming through and to these abnormal births. That is already
:06:10. > :06:14.happening and is done. It is now about trying to look forward to
:06:14. > :06:20.understand which will be affected and trying to keep the insects away
:06:20. > :06:24.from animals. That is difficult, as you can imagine. If a sheep, cow,
:06:24. > :06:29.or deer has had one abnormal birth, does that mean they will have more
:06:30. > :06:34.or is that the end of it? Based on what we know of a similar virus
:06:34. > :06:38.which occurs in Australia and Japan, it seems once there has been an
:06:38. > :06:43.outbreak of disease in a new area where the virus has not been
:06:43. > :06:47.exposed before, it seems the animals develop a robust immunity
:06:47. > :06:52.and they won't see a repeat. You will then just see occasional cases
:06:52. > :06:57.in animals who are affected. Those in the early stages of pregnancy,
:06:57. > :07:03.that seems to be the critical time. Once one land is affected in this
:07:03. > :07:07.way, it seems they are strong immune for a while afterwards.
:07:07. > :07:10.Seven men have been sentenced to a total of 24 years in jail for their
:07:10. > :07:13.part in a major smuggling ring. 20 million fake cigarettes were
:07:13. > :07:17.brought into the port of Felixstowe .they said the containers were full
:07:17. > :07:21.of children's' toys. In 2000, one in five cigarettes smoked in the UK
:07:21. > :07:29.was smuggled. In 2012, it's one in ten. Customs officers say they're
:07:29. > :07:33.winning the fight against the smugglers. Undercover footage of
:07:33. > :07:43.the smuggling gang at work. The cigarettes when fake but were
:07:43. > :07:44.
:07:44. > :07:49.manufactured in July and came through Felixstowe. One container
:07:49. > :07:55.had a million cigarettes, a floor- to-ceiling, down as toys, but there
:07:55. > :07:59.were no toys in the containers at all. Dust cigarettes. The gang has
:07:59. > :08:07.hired warehouses to store the cigarettes, in Upminster, here.
:08:07. > :08:13.They used a bigger, too. Seven men were handed sentences today between
:08:13. > :08:22.two and 4 1/2 years, the man from Sudbury who organised the shipping
:08:22. > :08:30.of the containers, and these two helped. Just before their arrest
:08:30. > :08:35.�25,000 was found in a garage. The court found that on a the computers
:08:35. > :08:39.were packets of cigarettes being packed into containers, and in the
:08:39. > :08:43.van newspaper articles about smuggling and sample papers for
:08:43. > :08:47.cigarettes were found. They said this was a major smuggling
:08:47. > :08:52.preparation, complex and sophisticated. Some of these things
:08:52. > :08:58.are seen as a victimless crime, an opportunity for somebody to have a
:08:58. > :09:05.bargain but it is not like that. It is a loss to the Revenue, to the
:09:05. > :09:10.taxpayer, to ours, of �2 billion a year. Customs officers say illegal
:09:10. > :09:15.cigarettes now make up 10 per cent of the total market. That is down
:09:15. > :09:21.from 21 per cent in the year 2000. They say they have no intention of
:09:21. > :09:24.slowing down in the stations. Still to come tonight: Alex with
:09:24. > :09:32.the full weekend forecast and Mike Liggins with the tale of an
:09:32. > :09:36.anniversary cruise and the Olympic Games. This is Maureen and Paul,
:09:36. > :09:41.and Maureen's sister, Bridget. They were all going on a cruise in
:09:41. > :09:49.August, but the ship they were going on is being used for the
:09:49. > :09:51.Olympics. That story after the news from your part of the region.
:09:51. > :09:55.Church of England has threatened legal action against protestors
:09:55. > :10:03.camping in a churchyard in Southend. A letter has been sent to members
:10:03. > :10:09.of the "Occupy Southend" group telling them to leave now.
:10:09. > :10:14.started six days ago with a handful of tense, now there are two vendors,
:10:14. > :10:18.portable toilets, and notices put up by the protesters. They warn
:10:18. > :10:24.visitors to the churchyard they will commit a criminal act if they
:10:25. > :10:30.stray into the protest area. The Church say the protesters must go
:10:30. > :10:35.or face legal action. In a letter passed to the protesters, the vicar
:10:35. > :10:38.of St Mary's, the Reverend, is clearly upset. He says the
:10:38. > :10:46.occupation is unlawful and disrespectful, in appropriate for.
:10:46. > :10:50.We did not invite you, this is holy ground. He says "please leave now."
:10:50. > :10:54.the Church say they have been in contact with a woman whose funeral
:10:54. > :11:00.is to this week and a bride-to-be, worried whether their services can
:11:00. > :11:05.go ahead. It is wrong. Totally wrong. Unfair on the church and the
:11:05. > :11:09.people locally. They are just passing, whatever their views.
:11:09. > :11:13.think it is terrible, they should just clear off. They were not
:11:13. > :11:17.invited and they should go. protesters would not be interviewed
:11:17. > :11:21.and will meet tomorrow to consider the request to leave. The diocese
:11:21. > :11:24.of Chelmsford say they are supporting the parish and legal
:11:24. > :11:27.action is imminent. A former nanny with a painful and
:11:27. > :11:32.disfiguring condition has been told that no treatment is routinely
:11:32. > :11:35.available on her local NHS in Norfolk. If she lived across the
:11:35. > :11:38.border in Suffolk she would get it automatically. She caught a virus
:11:38. > :11:48.during a holiday two years ago which left her with swollen arms
:11:48. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :11:56.and legs. Maureen Johnson is desperate for treatment for a

:12:10. > :12:14.she was simply nanny. Now her conferences at rock bottom. When
:12:14. > :12:20.she first went to hospital the specialist was brutal. They said I
:12:20. > :12:29.had no fluid retention, I was dehydrated, just go home, you are a
:12:29. > :12:36.big fat lump. I felt terribly upset. Terribly hurt. I came back from the
:12:36. > :12:42.holiday, nearly four stone heavier. I just cannot get rid of it. These
:12:42. > :12:48.horrible legs and arms, I have just swollen up. I feel like the

:13:23. > :13:31.than I do. I see her for who she is, not for her condition. But, apart
:13:31. > :13:37.from that, I am sad for her. Very sad. All I want to do is to be able
:13:37. > :13:43.to walk again. It is like trying to drag concrete around. It is
:13:43. > :13:50.absolutely a nightmare. David says mooring cries frequently, they are

:14:11. > :14:15.Ipswich Hospital has asked visitors to stay away after an outbreak of
:14:15. > :14:18.sickness and diarrhoea. The Trust says while the number of cases is
:14:18. > :14:22.small, it has spread to all parts of the hospital. Two cases have
:14:22. > :14:25.been confirmed as norovirus. They believe it was brought in from

:14:28. > :14:32.the A11 in Suffolk into a dual carriageway is about to stop until
:14:32. > :14:35.later this year. Work on building access roads and clearing some
:14:35. > :14:45.trees started in October, but it has stopped now because the money
:14:45. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:51.has run out for this financial year. The construction of roads on the
:14:51. > :14:56.Elveden estate in preparation for the new A11, been built to keep the
:14:56. > :15:00.farm vehicles off. But the whole project is about to come to a
:15:00. > :15:04.complete stop. We are bitterly disappointed, we expected the
:15:04. > :15:08.project to be kicking off now and to be told that the work is
:15:08. > :15:13.stalling, just a there. We thought they were going to get started, it
:15:13. > :15:18.really is a blow. Defined this and now, we feel it puts doubt over the
:15:18. > :15:22.whole project. This stretch is notorious for accidents and traffic
:15:22. > :15:27.jams. The dualling of the remaining section of single carriageway
:15:27. > :15:34.follows the existing road to the Elveden monument. It bypasses the
:15:34. > :15:38.village with a new junction near Center Parcs. The supporting roads
:15:38. > :15:41.were supposed to be completed by the end of next month. They are
:15:41. > :15:46.behind schedule and the Highways Agency says it has run out of money
:15:46. > :15:51.for this financial year. In a statement, the agency said, before
:15:51. > :15:57.the work started in October last year, we always medic where we
:15:57. > :16:00.would do as much work as possible by March. -- we almost -- we always
:16:00. > :16:03.made it clear. Those living here hope the agency
:16:03. > :16:07.will stay true to its word and get the project back on track later
:16:07. > :16:10.this year. The Apache helicopter forced to
:16:10. > :16:13.make an emergency landing in a field in Suffolk has been moved
:16:13. > :16:17.back to its base at Wattisham Airfield. It flew into power lines
:16:17. > :16:19.near Wherstead Woods on Tuesday evening. It is said to need minor

:16:40. > :16:43.their toughest home match of the season on Sunday, when Manchester
:16:43. > :16:49.United come to Carrow Road. The Canaries have only lost three games
:16:49. > :16:54.at home all season. Carrow Road has played a massive
:16:54. > :16:58.part in Norwich City's success over the past few seasons, the Canaries
:16:58. > :17:03.finished their league One campaign as champions, losing just three
:17:03. > :17:06.games in front of home fans. Last season saw a second-place finish in
:17:06. > :17:10.the championship and more ticker- tape to clear up with only four
:17:10. > :17:16.defeats. Few people predicted that Norwich City could continue that
:17:16. > :17:19.kind of form in the Premier League, but four goals against Newcastle,
:17:19. > :17:24.Manchester United could be the latest team to come here and lead
:17:24. > :17:28.with no points. We're not going to be frightened, we will try and win.
:17:29. > :17:32.But is the nature of the game. The players have done fantastic to get
:17:32. > :17:40.their cells in this position. They are the ones that deserve the
:17:40. > :17:44.credit. We will give it ago. Big- name managers and big-name players
:17:44. > :17:50.have come to Carrow Road, looking to leave the spoils, but most have
:17:50. > :17:53.left disappointed and without a full complement of points. We have
:17:53. > :17:58.been used to success at Carrow Road. The results we have had, there has
:17:58. > :18:00.been a lot more highs than there has lows. We have built of this
:18:00. > :18:05.atmosphere at the home people turn up looking to get a result. More
:18:05. > :18:10.often than not, they have got that. Last night, United made it through
:18:10. > :18:14.to the last 16 of the Europa League despite a defeat at old Trafford by
:18:14. > :18:19.Ajax. After a win over Norwich in Manchester, sir Alex said he was
:18:19. > :18:22.impressed by the Canaries, but he will be anything but if they leave
:18:22. > :18:26.for nothing on Sunday. In the Championship, Ipswich go to
:18:26. > :18:29.Brighton. After beating Cardiff 3-0 last weekend, they are now 15
:18:29. > :18:39.points clear of the drop zone. A win tomorrow would make it five in
:18:39. > :18:40.
:18:40. > :18:47.a row. In 46 games, you will get what you deserve. If we are unlucky,
:18:47. > :18:49.at Cardiff, our keeper was sent off last week, the best teams are
:18:49. > :18:52.always the luckiest. The League One, Colchester United
:18:52. > :18:56.are at home to Rochdale. And in League Two, Southend United could
:18:56. > :18:59.drop out of the top three if they lose at Morecambe. Manager Paul
:18:59. > :19:03.Sturrock is threatening to ring the changes after the 2-0 defeat at
