Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: The storm may | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
have passed but the disruption goes on. Thousands of homes still without | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
power and commuters told not to travel by train until tomorrow. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
We'll have the latest from where you live. I thought the back end left | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
and a trailer went over and the cab and me just went with it. Supposed | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
to be in London today but not going to happen at the moment. The region | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
recorded wind speeds of almost 80 miles an hour. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
In other news tonight: Plans for an incinerator in King's Lynn WILL go | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
ahead after a narrow vote. And Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
make it four in a row. First tonight, the wind was gusting | :01:00. | :01:16. | |
up to 80 miles an hour as it blew across the region. By lunchtime, the | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
calm had returned but the effects are still being felt. Tonight | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
thousands of people are still without electricity and commuters | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
are being told to avoid the trains until tomorrow. Our reporters have | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
been out since early this morning ` Mike Liggins in Norfolk and Kevin | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Burch in Suffolk. And first to Gareth George in Essex. | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
An overturned lorry blocking a southbound M 11. The wind was | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
pulling me all over the place. Then I felt the wind go underneath the | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
lorry and it took off. In Clacton, the PS survived the battering. Very | :02:03. | :02:14. | |
sad. One of our own staff saw it come down this morning. They had | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
just been to deal with a tree. They heard a tremendous crash and said it | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
was surreal and looked back to see that the helter`skelter had fallen | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
down on its side and was bouncing on the pier. There was even a power cut | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
at the crematorium. That power was restored. Here in Colchester, more | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
damage. Workmen clearing away yet another fallen tree. You can see by | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the staff `` the trunk just how big this tree was. In the road, too | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
crumpled cars, and thereby, Colchester zoo was shot. The storm | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
had damaged the roof of the orangutan house. The zoo would have | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
had 6000 visitors today. But nevertheless, what we wanted to make | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
sure was the integrity of the park was safe and that the clean`up | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
operation could take place without members of public in the park today. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
In Chelmsford, there were traffic olds up. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
In Suffolk, lots of trees came down, leaving many people counting the | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
cost of the storm. It was a day of travel chaos and close shaves. | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
It's an image which tells you everything you need to know about | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
the power of the storm: Double`decker is towed barge easily | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
but this one was blown off the road. It just lifted this bus up and it | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
was like slow motion. It get over the side of the road and doubled on | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
its side in the field. The bus driver was hurt and taken to | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
hospital. The two passengers on board escaped serious injury. Trees | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
toppled. This one fell onto the front of Mildred's home. The house | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
escaped serious damage. I looked out of the bedroom window and it was | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
normally sunshine and blue skies. I got to the top of the stairs and it | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
was as black as anything. It was this thing leaning up the front door | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
and Windows. Good job no one was passing by. High winds brought a | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
quarter operations in the port of Felixstowe and the bridge reopened | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
to traffic at midday but its closure brought the town to a standstill. At | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Ipswich station, travellers faced 's frustration, too. I am coming back | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
this evening for work so it will not be easy. I am supposed to be going | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
to Clacton but I am stuck in Ipswich. This landmark building | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
stands higher than most, striking but now stripped by the gales. And | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
evidence of yet another lucky escape. It was a day of close | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
shaves. Norfolk escaped the worst of the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
storm. There was some disruption to travel and some minor damage. Mike | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Liggins watched the storm arrive on the coast at Cromer. | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
This was the calm before the storm at 7am. A small ship taking refuge. | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
An hour later, the heavens opened. There was hardly a soul about but | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Mark was out walking and was dressed for the weather. Supposed to be in | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
London today but not going to happen at the moment so I thought I would | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
come and see what the weather is like. Fishermen decided that enough | :06:03. | :06:19. | |
was enough. We got what we needed and back home again. Along the | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
coast, a viewer captured pictures on his mobile phone of a dramatic | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
rescue. A dog called Max had fallen over the cliff edge last night and | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
the Coast Guard couldn't get to the beach so they abseiled down the | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
beach and whinged Max to safety. The cliffs here are between 20`30 metres | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
high. Anyone who goes over the edge will go straight to the bottom. They | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
will get seriously injured and potentially worse. Max was back out | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
with his own this afternoon and is doing well but we spotted people | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
peering over the cliff edge. With more wet weather forecast, | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
coastguards say that as an accident waiting to happen. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
As we've been hearing, some of the biggest disruption today has been on | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
the trains. Greater Anglia runs most of the services in Norfolk, Suffolk | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
and Essex. When I spoke to their managing director Ruud Haket late | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
this afternoon. I wanted to know if he was confident about the service | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
tomorrow morning. We will be planning for a full service. Main | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
risks are on the West Anglia line where we have two repair. And north | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
of Ipswich, there are an enormous amount of trees on the line. At the | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
moment, we are planning to normal service tomorrow morning. The MP for | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Peterborough says, how come a gust of wind disables the whole of | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
England rail infrastructure? Look around how many trees have fallen | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
down, and tree falls on the track, I can't run trains safely. We have | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
40`50 trees scattered around the railway track. It is an exceptional | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
big storm. There are consequences not only for the railway. Look at | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
what happened in streets. Do you wish you had run trains earlier this | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
morning? I think we have done what we should have done. We declared | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
yesterday evening, don't expect trains before 9am, which allowed us | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
to run tests trains. If we had passengers, trains would have been | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
stuck with 1000 people on, and with 70`80 mile an hour winds, you can't | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
even rescue those people. You would have had people for hours on a | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
train. It was the right decision to take. The effect of the storm has | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
been more severe than we thought or hoped and therefore, that has taken | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
longer to get everything running. You had problems with an app which | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
people can download to say whether trains were running or not. The | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
national feed did not do what it was supposed to be doing. We are | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
investigating that. It's not only our service, it was more widespread | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
than that. Luckily, we didn't get too many problems because all the | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
complications from yesterday afternoon was please don't travel if | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
you don't need to. I was at Chelmsford train station most of the | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
morning and we hardly got any questions around it. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
And, of course, your BBC local radio station will have all the latest | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
information about travel on road and rail during their breakfast shows | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
tomorrow morning. A fertility clinic says patient's | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
ears have some of the best treatment in the country. It offers couples | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
three chances of IVF and gives patients one of the best success | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
rate in the country. Currently, patients... With the offer of the | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
three fresh cycles, we are seeing seven out of ten women having a | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
positive outcome. A man from Suffolk has been charged | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
by US authorities with hacking US Army, NASA and Federal Government | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
computers. The 28`year`old, who's been named as Lauri Love, is | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
believed to have lived at Stradishall and Lowestoft. | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
Councillors in Norfolk have voted by a very narrow majority to approve a | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
plan for a waste incinerator in Kings Lynn. They had been warned | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
that a No vote could have left the council facing a huge bill for | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
compensation and effectively bankrupt. The council leader has | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
called on opponents to accept the result and move on. | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
Too many at County Hall it seems rather apt that Norfolk was being | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
battered by a storm this morning. Inside, councillors gathered for one | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
of the most important votes in years. Radio Norfolk broadcast | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
proceedings live. If people don't want it, the Government doesn't | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
support it and the county doesn't need it. The time has come to say | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
no. We have a democratic mandate, and the public expects us to keep | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
our promise to the electorate. Is it the right thing for Norfolk? A dodgy | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
referendum in Kings Lynn? Emotive language. When it came, the vote was | :11:52. | :12:04. | |
close: 40 in favour, 38 against. If they hadn't got that short`term | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
financial gun pointing in their head, it is clear nowhere near as | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
many would have gone to support it. The council leadership had argued | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
that to pull`out would leave the authority open to a compensation | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
claim of around ?30 million, enough to putting at risk of bankruptcy. So | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
the council leader was relieved. I hope and pray this is the end to the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
matter because people are for years the council have never had a full | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
debate about it. We have had a totally free vote. And finally, the | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
council has voted. This has been incredibly controversial. 65,000 | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
people voted against the plans. MPs successfully lobbied the Government | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
to withdraw financial support. We are still waiting to hear if the | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
local government secretary will guard `` will grant planning | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
permission. If he doesn't, it's back to square one. | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Still to come in the programme: Alex will be here with the details of how | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
the storm affected us and what to expect now. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
And Red Bull make it four in a row. We'll be hearing from the man who | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
helped design the winning car. As you've been hearing tonight, the | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
storm has caused extensive damage to power lines across our region. Tens | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
of thousands of homes and businesses are still without electricity | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
tonight. We'll hear from UK Power Networks in a moment after this | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
report from Dawn Gerber. The storm has brought chaos to our | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
region and tens of thousands have been left without power. In Norfolk, | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
several trees collapsed onto a power line, threatening to fall onto the | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
road. In Suffolk, one woman woke up to find her tree Court in power | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
cables. What horrifies me more than anything is the fact people are | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
driving past! This tree is hanging onto threads at the moment and | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
people seem to think it's fine to drive underneath. The impact of the | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
severe weather also hit power supplies in nearby brand them. The | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
pub closed the day. In the west of the region, more businesses were | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
having to remain shut. Knebworth was without power from 7am. I have had | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
to send staff home. There is nothing they can do about it. I will make up | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
to them during the week. At its peak, 300,000 properties across East | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Anglia were without electricity. This evening, 92,000 are still | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
waiting to have their power restored. Even with extra staff | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
working around the clock, UK power networks say it will take until | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
Wednesday before electricity supplies are back on. | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
This evening extra help is being brought in from Northern Ireland and | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Scotland to help get the power back on across the region. Late this | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
afternoon I spoke to Matt Rudling from UK Power Networks who told me | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
how bad the situation had been. At its peak, we had 500,000 | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
customers affected through the day, 350,000 of those in the East of | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
England. We have restored 250,000 of those already. We are now out there, | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
assessing the damage and trying to understand what we need to do to | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
restore the remainder. Why were so many people affected? It was the | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
sheer ferocity of the storm. But the wind speeds were particularly high. | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
The damage we saw reflected that. When do you expect the rest of those | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
people without power to be reconnected? We are working as hard | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
as we can we will continue to work through the night. We hope the vast | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
majority will be restored at the next 24`36 hours, but there may be a | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
few customers who we will supply for a few days after that. Our focus is | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
to get a big number of customers back. Is it trees coming down that | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
largely has brought cables down? No. Sometimes the wind has been | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
strong enough to impact our network directly. When you see wind speeds | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
like we have seen today, our network is exposed and is at risk from that | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
kind of thing. Some of it has been trees. We have seen the news | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
coverage. That has had an impact on us as well. There will because again | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
for power lines to be buried so that we don't have this problem. The cost | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
of doing so, it costs significantly more. These events are very rare, | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
fortunately, and hopefully, the response we have seen today shows we | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
are well equipped to deal with this kind of event. | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
Tonight at 7:30: Inside Out is looking at the single occupancy | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
charge. It wants people with spare bedrooms in council properties to | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
downsize or pay more. Those in favour say it will save millions. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
But what critics call the Bedroom Tax is making life very difficult | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
for many people. The programme features a couple from Suffolk whose | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
home cost thousands of pounds to modify but are being asked to move | :18:08. | :18:20. | |
because they have too many bedrooms. Can't sleep at night. Getting | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
headaches. Not feeling well. In the long term, it would be better for | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
asked to move because it would be smaller. As long as it was adapted | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
for my wife's needs. You can see that full report on Inside Out at | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
7:30pm on BBC One. In football, the Norwich City | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
manager Chris Hughton says he understands mounting criticism from | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
fans. Despite a summer of record`breaking spending, his team | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
are still in the bottom three. So far this season, they have managed | :18:51. | :18:51. | |
just two wins in nine games. The atmosphere is getting edgy. Fans | :18:52. | :19:15. | |
starting to lose patience. Most left Saturday's draw with little to smile | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
about. The manager 's future the hot topic of discussion. He came in at a | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
difficult time and did a good job last season. He's quite negative, | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
especially at home. Should be more positive upfront. He needs more | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
time. He's very honest and a good manager. Unfortunately, at the | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
moment, I am seeing a lot of negativity. Nothing going forward. I | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
won him out. In truth, Norwich should not still be in the bottom | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
three. They outplayed Cardiff. 31 shots in 90 minutes, none found the | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
target. Only six league goals all season, and it is this approach that | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
has seen the manager come under scrutiny. You have two accepting | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
these criticisms or frustrations because we all have them. Do you | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
feel under pressure? The pressure you always feel is what you feel we | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
in, week out. There is always pressure with the modern game and | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
expectations that sometimes, you have to expect. He spent a record | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
?25 million in the summer but supporters have yet to see a return | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
on their investment. It's expected they would be doing a lot better | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
than this time around. But it's early days. Anybody watching the | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
recent games can see they are playing well. Mostly two camps. I | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
don't think he will be surprised he is under pressure because his team | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
are in the bottom three and staying in the Premier League is paramount. | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Next up, a trip to Manchester. United tomorrow, city on Saturday. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
No place to hide. In motor racing, Red Bull have done | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
the double.. For the fourth season in a row. They've won both the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Drivers' and the Instructors' Championships. Sebastian Vettel's | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
victory yesterday means he's become only the fourth man in history to | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
win four titles. So what is the secret to their success? James | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
Burridge has been to the factory in Milton Keynes to meet the team's | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
chief designer. A doughnut of delight from the | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
dominant driver of 2013. Sebastien fettle and red Bull are one of sport | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
's most successful double acts. Winning isn't just a habit, it's | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
virtually expected. I love to give everything I have on a Sunday and | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
the whole weekend. Trying to give back what they give me, hours of | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
work, attention to detail. What are we here for? We are here to win! | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
While the bandwagon flies for the next round, 70% of the team in | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
Milton Keynes are working on next year 's car. Tell me what makes this | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
car so fast. The car is all about keeping the tires on the track. It | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
is about maximising grip and ability to accelerate round corners. Having | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
a suspension system that presents the tied to the road in the optimum | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
fashion is crucial. Winning, though, has come at a price: | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
Predictability. Some disgruntled fans have reacted by building in | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Belgium. There is a bit of resentment fall is him. But the true | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
fans sit there, and even if they don't support a particular sports | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
man, they realise they are watching something special. In all your time | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
in Formula one, can you think of another driver like him? He's an | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
exceptional talent. There are great drivers out there. He's probably the | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
best. Critics will argue his successes down the quality of his | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
car in part. But this sport is a Batman as well as machine, a | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
partnership proving impossible to break. | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
Some of the strongest winds in our region were recorded inland due to a | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
sting jet. You can see where it developed from the shaded area on | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
the map. It's the sting in the tail of a storm, drawing down a powerful | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
jet of air from the stratosphere and can cause very strong winds, which | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
explains why the bus was blown over in Hadleigh. If we look in detail, | :23:59. | :24:11. | |
you can see quite strong gusts. But go a bit further south, you can see | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
places, 76 miles an hour, 79 miles an hour, and this is where there was | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
most damage. But the low pressure has now moved well away from us. It | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
is currently across Scandinavia where it has recorded even higher | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
gusts. Wind gusts of around 150 miles an hour there. Coming here but | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
still quite windy. Still the chance of further showers through this | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
evening, although on the whole, they will become isolated. Fairly decent | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
clear spells in quite a chilly night. Temperatures down into single | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
figures. But still quite a breeze. What prospect tomorrow? A calmer day | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
in all, but still quite breezy. Some isolated showers developing but most | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
places should see dry weather, and particularly through the morning, | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
sunshine. In the afternoon, it will tend to turn more cloudy. Quite | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
chilly through tomorrow. Ten or 11 Celsius. Still the risk of them | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
showers into the afternoon, evening, and looking ahead, Wednesday brings | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
us a pretty good day but we have this approaching weather front which | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
will bring rain but probably not until overnight Wednesday into | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
Thursday. Here is the next four days. A fairly good day of weather | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
on Wednesday with sunny spells. Quite a brisk breeze and eventually | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
clouding over from the West. Outbreaks of rain for Thursday. A | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
dry start to Friday with a chance of rain turning up later on, but | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
temperatures worth taking note. Chile by day and the risk of the | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
frost on Tuesday night. Before we go, a big thank you to | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
everybody sent us your pictures of the weather. We are always delighted | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
to see your pictures at any time to [email protected]. Or you can send | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
them in by Facebook or Twitter. Here are just a few of them. Goodnight. | :26:28. | :27:50. | |
This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland. He's the one | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
that's going to present us with the ten grand. When we win it. | :27:53. | :27:54. | |
You've just got to make it as bearable | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
Here we are in the PR nerve centre of Iceland | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
at the end of 96 hours of total hell. | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
But we haven't tested for dog or cat either. | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
Is this the warmest supermarket around? | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
