Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: Patients | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
spending too long in A&E. The hospitals where more than 10% | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
:00:24. | :00:41. | ||
waited longer than four hours. man jailed for 18 months after he | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
attacked a judge in a Crown Court. We meet the archaeologists who found | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Bronze Age boats in a quarry near Peterborough. | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:09. | ||
And move over St George. Tonight, the accident and emergency | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
department where more than 10% of patients are waiting more than four | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
hours to be treated. Across the country, waiting times at casualty | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
are going up. Hospitals are finding it increasingly difficult to hit the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
target treating 95% of patients within four hours. The latest | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
figures show that the worst hospital in the region is King's Lynn. Only | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
88% were dealt with quickly enough. Four other hospitals also missed out | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
managing to hit the target between 90% and 94.8% of the time. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Meanwhile, these hospitals were top of the list. Despite all the | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
pressures, A&E in Norwich, Harlow, Gorleston and Ipswich all far | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
exceeded that 95% target. In a moment, we will speak to the health | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
minister, but first what's going wrong at King's Lynn? This report is | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
from Debbie Tubby. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital's | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
accident and emergency department today has been busy. Ambulances | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
queuing outside. Paramedics ferrying patients inside. And the walking | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
wounded. A department under pressure. But the hospital says all | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
patients were treated within the four hour target time. The latest | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
figures show that is not always the case. In fact, it is one of the | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
worst in the country for not treating them fast enough. We are | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
not embarrassed, we are disappointed. This hospital has | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
always had a commitment to a really good patient experience of care. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
MacKinnon is a sister in A&E, treating patients. Against the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
clock. Ensuring they are seen, discharged or transferred within the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
four hour window. This patient, who didn't want to speak on camera, Is | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:53. | ||
being seen within an hour. But it will be some time before he is fully | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
dealt with. The hospital has dramatically improved its waiting | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
times. But admits further improvements are needed to hit the | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
Department of Health's targets. are committed to being back to 95% | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
by the end of June at the latest. We have seen the impact of the longer | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
winter weather affecting our statistics. Tied into that, we open | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
additional bed capacity when we are under pressure. This year, despite | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
extra capacity, we have had to say we cannot stretch staff any further. | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
I spoke to two patients. One had broken his arm after falling off a | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
lorry. Both said they had been treated with them for hours and | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
could not fault the service. The hospital is now increasing the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
number of nurses on its other wards, recruiting from Portugal and Ireland | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
in the hope it will relieve the pressure from accident and | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
emergency. Dr Dan Poulter is a health minister. | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
He is also the MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. When I | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
spoke to him earlier, he said per figures were down to the long winter | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
we had. We had a long period of bad weather. That prevented some staff | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
from getting to work and more older people fell over. We also had no | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
virus and flew. Over the last five weeks, we have seen the targets | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
getting back on track. Several months ago, we were told that the | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
:04:40. | :04:42. | ||
bad spell of weather does not affect the pressure which lasts all year. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
have worked in this environment and I know that the pressure is on the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
evenings after GP surgeries have closed. A third of patients who show | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
up at a MD could be better look after -- who show up at accident and | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
emergency could be better looked after in the community. We need GPs | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
to provide extra hours of care. We need to better join up health and | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
social care services were local councils have a role to look after | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
the frail elderly with long-term conditions such as heart disease, | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
dementia and diabetes. Are you saying there is a problem of out of | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
hours service? It is a problem in my constituency which has to be | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
addressed. Local GPs have been put in charge of running services and I | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
think that will be much more in the interest of patients. I hope we move | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
towards a system which helps to take the pressure off at -- helps to take | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
:05:58. | :06:00. | ||
the pressure off of a and E. -- accident and emergency. There are | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
also problems with bed blocking? There is no silver bullet in this | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
issue. The current government is doing a lot in this issue. Norman | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Lamb is working to ensure that we have a more integrated and joined up | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
system across the health service. We need to make sure that all the | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
people can be discharged in a proper manner. Thank you. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
A fitness instructor who attacked a judge and knocked off his wig has | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
been jailed for 18 months for contempt of court. Paul Graham had | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
been sitting in the public gallery when he attacked Judge John Devaux | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
at Ipswich Crown Court yesterday. Today his behaviour was described as | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
insulting and intimidating. After a night in a prison cell, Paul | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Graham arrived at Ipswich Crown Court well aware he was facing a | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
:07:03. | :07:03. | ||
prison sentence. Paul Graham was led into the dock flanked by security | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
guards. The court took no chances. He was handcuffed by his right hand | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
to one of the guards. During the entire proceedings, he spoke behind | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
security glass only once, to confirm his name. The court heard Graham had | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
been in court number two just 24 hours earlier for the sentencing of | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
his older brother Philip. Philip Graham's dangerous driving caused | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
the death of a motorcyclist last July. When a 30 month prison | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
sentence was handed down, Paul Graham raced from the public | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
gallery, vaulted a wooden gate and then started throwing punches at His | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
Honour Judge John Devaux. He was unhurt. Graham was arrested. Today | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
another judge, Judge David Goodin, sentenced Graham to eighteen months | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
:07:57. | :08:04. | ||
in prison. That a change change is -- 18 months. The judge has to send | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
out a powerful message that this kind of behaviour will not be | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
tolerated. The sentence reflects that. The maximum sentence for | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
contempt is two years. Graham's barrister told the court his client | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
apologised unreservedly. He said the attack was a spontaneous act borne | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
out of high emotion. Graham's mother left court today without comment. | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
Both her sons now behind bars. The judge told Paul Graham, what you did | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
was an attack on justice. Also the administration of justice and the | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
rule of law. The court must deal with such iPAQs severely. Paul | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Graham said nothing as he was led to the cells. -- the court must deal | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
with such attacks severely. Southend Airport has unveiled the | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
latest stage of its expansion plans. A larger passenger terminal will | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
mean it can handle more than a million passengers a year. New | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
flights were announced too. Good news for holidaymakers, but not so | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
welcome for some local people. The Stobart Group has invested �100 | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
million in Southend Airport since it bought it five years ago. There is a | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
new train station, air traffic control tower and radar facilities, | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
a longer runway and a passenger terminal that is expanding fast. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Today, we were given a sneak preview of what is to come over the coming | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
months. First the new arrivals area due to open very soon. There will be | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
better baggage handling facilities. More space for security. More check | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
in desks. And this the much larger departure lounge due for completion | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
in December. We will never be a major International Airport, but we | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
want to ensure that we have a high standard of service. We want it to | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
be no more than 15 minutes from the aircraft to the train station | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
platform. EasyJet flies to more than a dozen destinations from Southend. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Changed easy From next summer, Thomson and First Choice will be | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
flying twice a week to Majorca and adding Ibiza to their schedule. | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
want London Southend to be part of our airline's expansion. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
pressure group SAEN claims there is strong local opposition to the | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
airports growth. It says it is simply taking passengers out of | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
Essex to spend their money abroad. It is fantastic for young people to | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
get jobs at the airport, but this is a catastrophic policy failure in | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
larger terms. The airport says 300 new local jobs will be created as | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
more aircraft are based here. They expect to handle over a million | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
passengers next year. A landowner has admitted allowing | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
his farm to become an illegal rubbish tip. Neil Spooner told | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
magistrates in Essex that three unknown men had been given | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
permission to bring rubble onto his land near Margaretting. Instead they | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
dumped tonnes of waste including hospital dressings and syringes. | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
This farm looks idyllic, but it is a hazardous waste site and Dom. On it | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
will cost �500,000 to clear. This is the former owner, Neil Spooner. He | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
pleaded guilty to allowing the dumping and storage of controlled | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
waste. Neil Spooner said three men drove up in a mercy -- in a Mercedes | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
and asked if they could store items here. He gave them permission and | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
then left to work abroad. When he returned, he realised that the men | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
were using the farm as a tip. This was the waste that was strewn across | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
the farm. Hospital dressings and syringes were among the mess. This | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
pond is now clogged with plastic. Piles of rubbish have devalued the | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
farm by �1.5 million. The council has served notice on the receivers | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
to clean it up. Neil Spooner will be sentenced next month. He says he | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
does not know who the three men were that he spoke to. Neil Spooner | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
could face a hefty fine and a jail term. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Firefighters are due to remain at a recycling plant overnight after 120 | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
tonnes of baled paper caught fire. Fire broke out at the plant near the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
A11 at Ketteringham at about 7:30am this morning. It is still | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
smouldering and firefighters will keep watch throughout the night. At | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
its height, more than 70 firefighters were tackling the | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
blaze. Norfolk County Council's own recycling plant nearby was closed | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
all day because of the fire. Still to come tonight: Frankie | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Dettori is racing in the region. We are live in Great Yarmouth. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Plus cry England for St Edmund. A new bid to replace St George as a | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
our national saint with the old King of East Anglia. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
In this country, we produce two million tonnes of rubbish every | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
month and that's just household waste. And that figure goes up by | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
about 3% every year. For years, most of it has been buried in the ground, | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
but we need to find another way and many people believe we should burn | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
:13:37. | :13:43. | ||
it in giant incinerators. Two of the most high profile | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
incinerator projects in this region are at Marston Moretaine in | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
Bedfordshire and King's Lynn in Norfolk. In each case, there has | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
been local opposition. And now there are doubts over whether either will | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
actually go ahead. In a moment, Emma Baugh on why the company behind the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Stewartby project might be changing its plans but first Andrew Sinclair | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
on the latest wrangles in Norfolk. It is a divisive issue that played a | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
large part in ejecting the conservatives from County Hall. Now | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
it is the job of the new council in Norfolk to see if it is possible to | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
actually scrap the Kings Lynn waste incinerator. Today, the scrutiny | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
committee was told by its officers that pulling out could cost around | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
�90 million, enough to possibly unbalance the budget and force the | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Government to intervene and place the county in special measures. But | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
many councillors questioned the figures accusing the officers of | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
trying to frighten people. The officers have based their assessment | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
on a similar project in Cornwall. This is scaremongering in my view. | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
When I read the press release, I was frightened to death. I am an elected | :14:36. | :14:45. | |
Councillor. I don't know what the people of Norfolk feel about it. | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
would like everyone to have all the facts before they make a decision. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Termination would be a big decision, so you would like members to be with | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
the facts. The authority considered scrapping an unpopular waste | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
incinerator but reluctantly went ahead after being told it would be | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
liable for compensation payments of between �80 and �90 million. What we | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
need is some independent legal advice. Until we get that, quite | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
clearly, we will not be able to say with any degree of accuracy what | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
precise penalties are due to be paid. The majority of councillors | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
fought the election on a promise to fight this incinerator. But that | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
might yet prove to be a pledge on which they cannot deliver. This is | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
the situation in Norfolk. Now let's cross to Bedfordshire. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Still peaceful, the land in Bedfordshire planned to be the site | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
of the incinerator in the shadow of the old Stewartby brickwork. Getting | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
an incinerator project off the ground is never going to be easy. | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
The spoke about having one year at Stewart the five years ago. As you | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
can see, it is still a long way off. As in King's Lynn, protests and | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
local opposition made the planning process even longer. In 2009, | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
detailed plans went on show. By July 2011, consultation was closing. Last | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
December, the incinerator gets the go-ahead. Last month, the company | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
seeks a buyer or partner for the site. They are looking for someone | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
else to share the financial burden. So while the threat hasn't gone | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
away, last night campaigners discussed alternative ways of | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
:16:40. | :16:40. | ||
dealing with our waste. We need a combination of community | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
responsibility with composting and the cycling and industrial | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
responsibility. That takes us towards a sustainable society. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
Incineration takes us in exactly the opposite direction. For people | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
living nearby there has mixed views. It is nice to have clean air. We | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
don't want this monstrosity right behind us. It is a big problem with | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
landfill sites. It will also provide jobs. I think it will be a good | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
thing. The company's change of heart is a blow to the Government's waste | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
plans, even with a new partner. Nothing will be built here until | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
2018. After his six month ban for testing | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
positive for cocaine in France last year the jockey Frankie Dettori is | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
back in the saddle in this region for the first time tonight in four | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
races at Great Yarmouth. His first race back was at Epsom at the | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
weekend. Since then it has been a whistlestop tour. Windsor yesterday, | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Lingfield earlier today, Yarmouth tonight and Kempton tomorrow. Kevin | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
Burch is at Yarmouth now. All those rides and Frankie Dettori | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
is still waiting for a win. There are 1600 people here tonight. Talk | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
to them about Frankie and you get a mixed response of his status now in | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
the sport. He has done a tremendous amount, but I think he has lost all | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
-- I think he has lost a lot of favour because of what has happened. | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
He will have to work hard to get that back. It is up to Frankie now | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
to prove that he can be good for the sport again. I think he has lost | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
some of his reputation. However, I will still put my money on him. | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
Definitely. Frankie has had six months out of the sport. He said he | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :18:55. | ||
really missed the bus. -- buzz. is a competitive marketplace. There | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
are some fantastic jockeys here tonight. You have to keep sharp and | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
keep on top of your game. It is a very demanding job that jockeys | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
have. It is very competitive. can see the racegoers are starting | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
to move up to the stands because this is the final race of the night | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
starting in five minutes. This is the last chance today for Frankie | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
:19:36. | :19:37. | ||
Dettori to get his first win of his comeback. He has promised me that if | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
he gets a winner, he will give us an interview. | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Next to a stunning historical discovery in Cambridgeshire. When a | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
new museum opened dedicated to the Tudor warship the Mary Rose last | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
week, we were told that it took scientists decades to gradually dry | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
out her timbers which were more than 500 years old. But the Mary Rose is | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
just a baby compared to the boats discovered in this quarry near | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
Peterborough. They are ancient log boats dating back 3,500 years. The | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
big question now, how do we make sure they are preserved? Jo Black | :20:09. | :20:18. | |
has been finding out. In this purpose-built fridge, a tiny | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
glimpse of a vanishing time in the bubble wrap. These Bronze Age log | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
boats are 3500 years old. We knew the potential was there because we | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
have found things in the same place years ago. But we could not quite | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
believe what we had uncovered finally discovered the first bought. | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
Then more and more of them kept popping up. Absolutely amazing. | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
will be preserved by experts. This man helped preserve the Mary Rose. | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
This will be his project for the next five years. I am excited but | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
scared. This was a really stunning find. To attempt the conservation in | :21:13. | :21:22. | |
:21:23. | :21:23. | ||
the public domain is quite risky. The excavation took 12 months. They | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
:21:33. | :21:37. | ||
have given all of the boat names. This is deadly. This is Vivian. This | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
one has a name similar to a pirate ship. This is called Little Alan. | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
Thousands of years ago, rising water levels created the fence. Our | :21:51. | :22:00. | |
ancestors had to quickly adapt to the landscape. There is evidence of | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
trading with continental Europe. These could be inland boats bringing | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
goods in from the coast. It is possible they were used for military | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
purposes given the amount of swords that were found in the River. They | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
could also have been used for a funeral. It is just a best guess | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
when you are talking 4000 years ago. Conservation will be a long and | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
arduous task. Once completed, it will give us another fascinating | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
insight into our past in this region. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
He was once the King of East Anglia. After his death, he was the patron | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
saint of England for almost 500 years. But since then St Edmund has | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
rather out of fashion. But now his supporters, including BBC Radio | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
Suffolk, have launched a new campaign for Edmund to take over | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
from St George. They have tried before, in 2006. But now they are | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:07. | ||
hoping that the power of Twitter and Facebook will make a difference. | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
To Saint Edmund, we keep singing. To Saint Edmund, we pray. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
The children of St Edmund's Roman Catholic school singing in support | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
of the latest campaign to get Saint Edmund reinstated as the patron | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
saint of England. It was 1,000 years ago this year that his body was | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
returned to Bury St Edmunds. A former King of East Anglia. Saint | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
Edmund ruled between AD 855 and 869. For 481 years, he was the country's | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
patron saint until he was displaced by Saint George who was born in | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Turkey, lived in Palestine, became a Roman Soldier and killed a mythical | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:45. | ||
dragon. Edmund was real. He was a thoroughly good King. Historians say | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
he looked after his people and refused to renounce his face when we | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
were invaded by the games and the Vikings. He gave his life for this | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
country. -- people from Denmark and the Vikings. He gave his life for | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
this country. That is why we want him to be our patron saint. And the | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
locally based brewer, Green King, which is backing the campaign says | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
it now has a better chance of succeeding. The previous campaign | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
was before social media. Now we want this debate in the public arena | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
across the whole of England. We have pubs from Carlisle to Canterbury | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
where we want this debate regarding the patron saint of England to take | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:40. | ||
place. St George always has been and always will be our saint. Saint | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
Edmund would be good because he is local. St George is our patron | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
saint, nobody else, end of story! Campaigners are hoping that 100,000 | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
people will sign the petition. Thereby forcing parliament to debate | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
whether it should reinstate St Edmund as the patron saint of | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
England. And there is much more on that story | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
online. Go to our news pages and then click on the feature St Edmund | :25:08. | :25:18. | |

Let's start with some weather pictures taken in Essex, showing | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
people out and about, enjoying the fine and sunny weather, eating ice | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
cream in the sunshine. It was colour around the coast. If we look at the | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
temperatures, although we achieved 19 degrees in some parts, in the | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
north Norfolk coast it was much cooler. We have had a north-easterly | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
wind. If you look at the position of high pressure, you can see how that | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
has happened. It has been quite chilly for much of our region. High | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
pressure is here to stay and it will bring us more dry weather this week | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
and some sunny spells. A subtle change this evening and overnight. | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
There is an area of Cloud already moving in across Lincolnshire and | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
the Wash. That will turn the sky is quite cloudy. -- that will turn the | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
sky quite cloudy. The significance of that is it will not be as cool as | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
last night. Eight degrees will be the lowest. The cloud will mean it | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
will be a cloudy start tomorrow. For some of us, it could stay cloudy | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
particularly along the coast. It will thin and break up and then we | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
will see the sunshine. Temperatures hovering around the midteens. Even | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
though the wind will be lighter, it will still be north-easterly and | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
:27:04. | :27:09. | ||
still colour along the coast. On the whole, find a. -- a fine day. Stay | :27:09. | :27:19. | |
:27:19. | :27:22. | ||
in colour from the next few days. At times, unbroken sunshine. Tomorrow, | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
some fear whether cloud in the afternoon. The rest of the week is | :27:25. | :27:32. |
