:00:10. > :00:14.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: The storm may
:00:15. > :00:18.have passed but the disruption goes on. Thousands of homes still without
:00:19. > :00:23.power and commuters told not to travel by train until tomorrow.
:00:24. > :00:34.We'll have the latest from where you live. I thought the back end left
:00:35. > :00:39.and a trailer went over and the cab and me just went with it. Supposed
:00:40. > :00:47.to be in London today but not going to happen at the moment. The region
:00:48. > :00:53.recorded wind speeds of almost 80 miles an hour.
:00:54. > :00:57.In other news tonight: Plans for an incinerator in King's Lynn WILL go
:00:58. > :00:59.ahead after a narrow vote. And Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel
:01:00. > :01:16.make it four in a row. First tonight, the wind was gusting
:01:17. > :01:20.up to 80 miles an hour as it blew across the region. By lunchtime, the
:01:21. > :01:24.calm had returned but the effects are still being felt. Tonight
:01:25. > :01:27.thousands of people are still without electricity and commuters
:01:28. > :01:33.are being told to avoid the trains until tomorrow. Our reporters have
:01:34. > :01:37.been out since early this morning ` Mike Liggins in Norfolk and Kevin
:01:38. > :01:47.Burch in Suffolk. And first to Gareth George in Essex.
:01:48. > :01:57.An overturned lorry blocking a southbound M 11. The wind was
:01:58. > :02:02.pulling me all over the place. Then I felt the wind go underneath the
:02:03. > :02:14.lorry and it took off. In Clacton, the PS survived the battering. Very
:02:15. > :02:21.sad. One of our own staff saw it come down this morning. They had
:02:22. > :02:27.just been to deal with a tree. They heard a tremendous crash and said it
:02:28. > :02:30.was surreal and looked back to see that the helter`skelter had fallen
:02:31. > :02:37.down on its side and was bouncing on the pier. There was even a power cut
:02:38. > :02:45.at the crematorium. That power was restored. Here in Colchester, more
:02:46. > :02:50.damage. Workmen clearing away yet another fallen tree. You can see by
:02:51. > :02:58.the staff `` the trunk just how big this tree was. In the road, too
:02:59. > :03:06.crumpled cars, and thereby, Colchester zoo was shot. The storm
:03:07. > :03:11.had damaged the roof of the orangutan house. The zoo would have
:03:12. > :03:16.had 6000 visitors today. But nevertheless, what we wanted to make
:03:17. > :03:20.sure was the integrity of the park was safe and that the clean`up
:03:21. > :03:25.operation could take place without members of public in the park today.
:03:26. > :03:29.In Chelmsford, there were traffic olds up.
:03:30. > :03:33.In Suffolk, lots of trees came down, leaving many people counting the
:03:34. > :03:43.cost of the storm. It was a day of travel chaos and close shaves.
:03:44. > :03:47.It's an image which tells you everything you need to know about
:03:48. > :03:52.the power of the storm: Double`decker is towed barge easily
:03:53. > :03:57.but this one was blown off the road. It just lifted this bus up and it
:03:58. > :04:02.was like slow motion. It get over the side of the road and doubled on
:04:03. > :04:07.its side in the field. The bus driver was hurt and taken to
:04:08. > :04:13.hospital. The two passengers on board escaped serious injury. Trees
:04:14. > :04:20.toppled. This one fell onto the front of Mildred's home. The house
:04:21. > :04:24.escaped serious damage. I looked out of the bedroom window and it was
:04:25. > :04:30.normally sunshine and blue skies. I got to the top of the stairs and it
:04:31. > :04:35.was as black as anything. It was this thing leaning up the front door
:04:36. > :04:45.and Windows. Good job no one was passing by. High winds brought a
:04:46. > :04:51.quarter operations in the port of Felixstowe and the bridge reopened
:04:52. > :04:56.to traffic at midday but its closure brought the town to a standstill. At
:04:57. > :05:03.Ipswich station, travellers faced 's frustration, too. I am coming back
:05:04. > :05:10.this evening for work so it will not be easy. I am supposed to be going
:05:11. > :05:18.to Clacton but I am stuck in Ipswich. This landmark building
:05:19. > :05:23.stands higher than most, striking but now stripped by the gales. And
:05:24. > :05:26.evidence of yet another lucky escape. It was a day of close
:05:27. > :05:30.shaves. Norfolk escaped the worst of the
:05:31. > :05:33.storm. There was some disruption to travel and some minor damage. Mike
:05:34. > :05:42.Liggins watched the storm arrive on the coast at Cromer.
:05:43. > :05:50.This was the calm before the storm at 7am. A small ship taking refuge.
:05:51. > :05:53.An hour later, the heavens opened. There was hardly a soul about but
:05:54. > :05:59.Mark was out walking and was dressed for the weather. Supposed to be in
:06:00. > :06:02.London today but not going to happen at the moment so I thought I would
:06:03. > :06:19.come and see what the weather is like. Fishermen decided that enough
:06:20. > :06:25.was enough. We got what we needed and back home again. Along the
:06:26. > :06:30.coast, a viewer captured pictures on his mobile phone of a dramatic
:06:31. > :06:36.rescue. A dog called Max had fallen over the cliff edge last night and
:06:37. > :06:43.the Coast Guard couldn't get to the beach so they abseiled down the
:06:44. > :06:49.beach and whinged Max to safety. The cliffs here are between 20`30 metres
:06:50. > :06:53.high. Anyone who goes over the edge will go straight to the bottom. They
:06:54. > :06:58.will get seriously injured and potentially worse. Max was back out
:06:59. > :07:03.with his own this afternoon and is doing well but we spotted people
:07:04. > :07:06.peering over the cliff edge. With more wet weather forecast,
:07:07. > :07:12.coastguards say that as an accident waiting to happen.
:07:13. > :07:16.As we've been hearing, some of the biggest disruption today has been on
:07:17. > :07:19.the trains. Greater Anglia runs most of the services in Norfolk, Suffolk
:07:20. > :07:23.and Essex. When I spoke to their managing director Ruud Haket late
:07:24. > :07:30.this afternoon. I wanted to know if he was confident about the service
:07:31. > :07:39.tomorrow morning. We will be planning for a full service. Main
:07:40. > :07:46.risks are on the West Anglia line where we have two repair. And north
:07:47. > :07:53.of Ipswich, there are an enormous amount of trees on the line. At the
:07:54. > :07:57.moment, we are planning to normal service tomorrow morning. The MP for
:07:58. > :08:05.Peterborough says, how come a gust of wind disables the whole of
:08:06. > :08:11.England rail infrastructure? Look around how many trees have fallen
:08:12. > :08:15.down, and tree falls on the track, I can't run trains safely. We have
:08:16. > :08:22.40`50 trees scattered around the railway track. It is an exceptional
:08:23. > :08:29.big storm. There are consequences not only for the railway. Look at
:08:30. > :08:37.what happened in streets. Do you wish you had run trains earlier this
:08:38. > :08:42.morning? I think we have done what we should have done. We declared
:08:43. > :08:48.yesterday evening, don't expect trains before 9am, which allowed us
:08:49. > :08:54.to run tests trains. If we had passengers, trains would have been
:08:55. > :08:59.stuck with 1000 people on, and with 70`80 mile an hour winds, you can't
:09:00. > :09:04.even rescue those people. You would have had people for hours on a
:09:05. > :09:09.train. It was the right decision to take. The effect of the storm has
:09:10. > :09:14.been more severe than we thought or hoped and therefore, that has taken
:09:15. > :09:19.longer to get everything running. You had problems with an app which
:09:20. > :09:26.people can download to say whether trains were running or not. The
:09:27. > :09:31.national feed did not do what it was supposed to be doing. We are
:09:32. > :09:36.investigating that. It's not only our service, it was more widespread
:09:37. > :09:39.than that. Luckily, we didn't get too many problems because all the
:09:40. > :09:45.complications from yesterday afternoon was please don't travel if
:09:46. > :09:48.you don't need to. I was at Chelmsford train station most of the
:09:49. > :09:51.morning and we hardly got any questions around it.
:09:52. > :09:54.And, of course, your BBC local radio station will have all the latest
:09:55. > :10:02.information about travel on road and rail during their breakfast shows
:10:03. > :10:05.tomorrow morning. A fertility clinic says patient's
:10:06. > :10:14.ears have some of the best treatment in the country. It offers couples
:10:15. > :10:19.three chances of IVF and gives patients one of the best success
:10:20. > :10:26.rate in the country. Currently, patients... With the offer of the
:10:27. > :10:31.three fresh cycles, we are seeing seven out of ten women having a
:10:32. > :10:35.positive outcome. A man from Suffolk has been charged
:10:36. > :10:39.by US authorities with hacking US Army, NASA and Federal Government
:10:40. > :10:42.computers. The 28`year`old, who's been named as Lauri Love, is
:10:43. > :10:51.believed to have lived at Stradishall and Lowestoft.
:10:52. > :10:55.Councillors in Norfolk have voted by a very narrow majority to approve a
:10:56. > :10:59.plan for a waste incinerator in Kings Lynn. They had been warned
:11:00. > :11:01.that a No vote could have left the council facing a huge bill for
:11:02. > :11:04.compensation and effectively bankrupt. The council leader has
:11:05. > :11:12.called on opponents to accept the result and move on.
:11:13. > :11:17.Too many at County Hall it seems rather apt that Norfolk was being
:11:18. > :11:21.battered by a storm this morning. Inside, councillors gathered for one
:11:22. > :11:28.of the most important votes in years. Radio Norfolk broadcast
:11:29. > :11:32.proceedings live. If people don't want it, the Government doesn't
:11:33. > :11:38.support it and the county doesn't need it. The time has come to say
:11:39. > :11:43.no. We have a democratic mandate, and the public expects us to keep
:11:44. > :11:51.our promise to the electorate. Is it the right thing for Norfolk? A dodgy
:11:52. > :12:04.referendum in Kings Lynn? Emotive language. When it came, the vote was
:12:05. > :12:09.close: 40 in favour, 38 against. If they hadn't got that short`term
:12:10. > :12:14.financial gun pointing in their head, it is clear nowhere near as
:12:15. > :12:18.many would have gone to support it. The council leadership had argued
:12:19. > :12:22.that to pull`out would leave the authority open to a compensation
:12:23. > :12:28.claim of around ?30 million, enough to putting at risk of bankruptcy. So
:12:29. > :12:33.the council leader was relieved. I hope and pray this is the end to the
:12:34. > :12:37.matter because people are for years the council have never had a full
:12:38. > :12:47.debate about it. We have had a totally free vote. And finally, the
:12:48. > :12:54.council has voted. This has been incredibly controversial. 65,000
:12:55. > :13:00.people voted against the plans. MPs successfully lobbied the Government
:13:01. > :13:04.to withdraw financial support. We are still waiting to hear if the
:13:05. > :13:07.local government secretary will guard `` will grant planning
:13:08. > :13:14.permission. If he doesn't, it's back to square one.
:13:15. > :13:20.Still to come in the programme: Alex will be here with the details of how
:13:21. > :13:23.the storm affected us and what to expect now.
:13:24. > :13:32.And Red Bull make it four in a row. We'll be hearing from the man who
:13:33. > :13:35.helped design the winning car. As you've been hearing tonight, the
:13:36. > :13:39.storm has caused extensive damage to power lines across our region. Tens
:13:40. > :13:42.of thousands of homes and businesses are still without electricity
:13:43. > :13:50.tonight. We'll hear from UK Power Networks in a moment after this
:13:51. > :13:54.report from Dawn Gerber. The storm has brought chaos to our
:13:55. > :14:00.region and tens of thousands have been left without power. In Norfolk,
:14:01. > :14:08.several trees collapsed onto a power line, threatening to fall onto the
:14:09. > :14:13.road. In Suffolk, one woman woke up to find her tree Court in power
:14:14. > :14:18.cables. What horrifies me more than anything is the fact people are
:14:19. > :14:21.driving past! This tree is hanging onto threads at the moment and
:14:22. > :14:30.people seem to think it's fine to drive underneath. The impact of the
:14:31. > :14:34.severe weather also hit power supplies in nearby brand them. The
:14:35. > :14:40.pub closed the day. In the west of the region, more businesses were
:14:41. > :14:49.having to remain shut. Knebworth was without power from 7am. I have had
:14:50. > :14:55.to send staff home. There is nothing they can do about it. I will make up
:14:56. > :15:00.to them during the week. At its peak, 300,000 properties across East
:15:01. > :15:05.Anglia were without electricity. This evening, 92,000 are still
:15:06. > :15:10.waiting to have their power restored. Even with extra staff
:15:11. > :15:16.working around the clock, UK power networks say it will take until
:15:17. > :15:19.Wednesday before electricity supplies are back on.
:15:20. > :15:22.This evening extra help is being brought in from Northern Ireland and
:15:23. > :15:26.Scotland to help get the power back on across the region. Late this
:15:27. > :15:33.afternoon I spoke to Matt Rudling from UK Power Networks who told me
:15:34. > :15:38.how bad the situation had been. At its peak, we had 500,000
:15:39. > :15:45.customers affected through the day, 350,000 of those in the East of
:15:46. > :15:49.England. We have restored 250,000 of those already. We are now out there,
:15:50. > :15:55.assessing the damage and trying to understand what we need to do to
:15:56. > :16:02.restore the remainder. Why were so many people affected? It was the
:16:03. > :16:10.sheer ferocity of the storm. But the wind speeds were particularly high.
:16:11. > :16:13.The damage we saw reflected that. When do you expect the rest of those
:16:14. > :16:20.people without power to be reconnected? We are working as hard
:16:21. > :16:26.as we can we will continue to work through the night. We hope the vast
:16:27. > :16:32.majority will be restored at the next 24`36 hours, but there may be a
:16:33. > :16:36.few customers who we will supply for a few days after that. Our focus is
:16:37. > :16:46.to get a big number of customers back. Is it trees coming down that
:16:47. > :16:51.largely has brought cables down? No. Sometimes the wind has been
:16:52. > :16:59.strong enough to impact our network directly. When you see wind speeds
:17:00. > :17:03.like we have seen today, our network is exposed and is at risk from that
:17:04. > :17:10.kind of thing. Some of it has been trees. We have seen the news
:17:11. > :17:15.coverage. That has had an impact on us as well. There will because again
:17:16. > :17:24.for power lines to be buried so that we don't have this problem. The cost
:17:25. > :17:31.of doing so, it costs significantly more. These events are very rare,
:17:32. > :17:39.fortunately, and hopefully, the response we have seen today shows we
:17:40. > :17:46.are well equipped to deal with this kind of event.
:17:47. > :17:49.Tonight at 7:30: Inside Out is looking at the single occupancy
:17:50. > :17:54.charge. It wants people with spare bedrooms in council properties to
:17:55. > :17:59.downsize or pay more. Those in favour say it will save millions.
:18:00. > :18:04.But what critics call the Bedroom Tax is making life very difficult
:18:05. > :18:07.for many people. The programme features a couple from Suffolk whose
:18:08. > :18:20.home cost thousands of pounds to modify but are being asked to move
:18:21. > :18:26.because they have too many bedrooms. Can't sleep at night. Getting
:18:27. > :18:30.headaches. Not feeling well. In the long term, it would be better for
:18:31. > :18:37.asked to move because it would be smaller. As long as it was adapted
:18:38. > :18:40.for my wife's needs. You can see that full report on Inside Out at
:18:41. > :18:42.7:30pm on BBC One. In football, the Norwich City
:18:43. > :18:47.manager Chris Hughton says he understands mounting criticism from
:18:48. > :18:50.fans. Despite a summer of record`breaking spending, his team
:18:51. > :18:51.are still in the bottom three. So far this season, they have managed
:18:52. > :19:15.just two wins in nine games. The atmosphere is getting edgy. Fans
:19:16. > :19:22.starting to lose patience. Most left Saturday's draw with little to smile
:19:23. > :19:27.about. The manager 's future the hot topic of discussion. He came in at a
:19:28. > :19:33.difficult time and did a good job last season. He's quite negative,
:19:34. > :19:39.especially at home. Should be more positive upfront. He needs more
:19:40. > :19:43.time. He's very honest and a good manager. Unfortunately, at the
:19:44. > :19:54.moment, I am seeing a lot of negativity. Nothing going forward. I
:19:55. > :20:01.won him out. In truth, Norwich should not still be in the bottom
:20:02. > :20:06.three. They outplayed Cardiff. 31 shots in 90 minutes, none found the
:20:07. > :20:11.target. Only six league goals all season, and it is this approach that
:20:12. > :20:16.has seen the manager come under scrutiny. You have two accepting
:20:17. > :20:23.these criticisms or frustrations because we all have them. Do you
:20:24. > :20:27.feel under pressure? The pressure you always feel is what you feel we
:20:28. > :20:35.in, week out. There is always pressure with the modern game and
:20:36. > :20:40.expectations that sometimes, you have to expect. He spent a record
:20:41. > :20:45.?25 million in the summer but supporters have yet to see a return
:20:46. > :20:49.on their investment. It's expected they would be doing a lot better
:20:50. > :20:55.than this time around. But it's early days. Anybody watching the
:20:56. > :21:02.recent games can see they are playing well. Mostly two camps. I
:21:03. > :21:06.don't think he will be surprised he is under pressure because his team
:21:07. > :21:11.are in the bottom three and staying in the Premier League is paramount.
:21:12. > :21:16.Next up, a trip to Manchester. United tomorrow, city on Saturday.
:21:17. > :21:20.No place to hide. In motor racing, Red Bull have done
:21:21. > :21:25.the double.. For the fourth season in a row. They've won both the
:21:26. > :21:27.Drivers' and the Instructors' Championships. Sebastian Vettel's
:21:28. > :21:31.victory yesterday means he's become only the fourth man in history to
:21:32. > :21:34.win four titles. So what is the secret to their success? James
:21:35. > :21:36.Burridge has been to the factory in Milton Keynes to meet the team's
:21:37. > :21:43.chief designer. A doughnut of delight from the
:21:44. > :21:50.dominant driver of 2013. Sebastien fettle and red Bull are one of sport
:21:51. > :21:56.'s most successful double acts. Winning isn't just a habit, it's
:21:57. > :21:59.virtually expected. I love to give everything I have on a Sunday and
:22:00. > :22:06.the whole weekend. Trying to give back what they give me, hours of
:22:07. > :22:13.work, attention to detail. What are we here for? We are here to win!
:22:14. > :22:17.While the bandwagon flies for the next round, 70% of the team in
:22:18. > :22:25.Milton Keynes are working on next year 's car. Tell me what makes this
:22:26. > :22:33.car so fast. The car is all about keeping the tires on the track. It
:22:34. > :22:37.is about maximising grip and ability to accelerate round corners. Having
:22:38. > :22:43.a suspension system that presents the tied to the road in the optimum
:22:44. > :22:48.fashion is crucial. Winning, though, has come at a price:
:22:49. > :22:53.Predictability. Some disgruntled fans have reacted by building in
:22:54. > :23:04.Belgium. There is a bit of resentment fall is him. But the true
:23:05. > :23:08.fans sit there, and even if they don't support a particular sports
:23:09. > :23:12.man, they realise they are watching something special. In all your time
:23:13. > :23:18.in Formula one, can you think of another driver like him? He's an
:23:19. > :23:24.exceptional talent. There are great drivers out there. He's probably the
:23:25. > :23:31.best. Critics will argue his successes down the quality of his
:23:32. > :23:34.car in part. But this sport is a Batman as well as machine, a
:23:35. > :23:41.partnership proving impossible to break.
:23:42. > :23:47.Some of the strongest winds in our region were recorded inland due to a
:23:48. > :23:51.sting jet. You can see where it developed from the shaded area on
:23:52. > :23:55.the map. It's the sting in the tail of a storm, drawing down a powerful
:23:56. > :23:58.jet of air from the stratosphere and can cause very strong winds, which
:23:59. > :24:11.explains why the bus was blown over in Hadleigh. If we look in detail,
:24:12. > :24:20.you can see quite strong gusts. But go a bit further south, you can see
:24:21. > :24:28.places, 76 miles an hour, 79 miles an hour, and this is where there was
:24:29. > :24:33.most damage. But the low pressure has now moved well away from us. It
:24:34. > :24:41.is currently across Scandinavia where it has recorded even higher
:24:42. > :24:46.gusts. Wind gusts of around 150 miles an hour there. Coming here but
