England's road to recovery. There is more throughout the evening on the

BBC News Channel. Good evening.

A woman from Luton has returned home after spending the last few weeks in

Nepal searching for her missing son. Margaret Finlay has been working

with search and rescue teams in the Himalayan mountains looking for

Matthew Allpress, who was last seen trekking near the village of Sikles

at the beginning of November. This was to be Matthew Allpress's

final expedition before returning home. He was heading to a remote

mountain lake but it is built on his way be weather took a turn for the

worse. He was trekking up to a pass which was 5600 metres and the

experts estimate that when he got there, it would have been around

about the eighth or 9th of December and they had about eight feet of

snow fall over those two days. What happened after the snow fell is

still a mystery. Margaret throughout to Nepal to help with the search but

it was a search that found nothing. How did you feel having reached the

end of the search and having to come back to England? Devastated. To be

honest, I am glad that I flew out at night so that I could not see the

Himalayas out of the window because it was too traumatic. But despite

being back home in Luton, Margaret's search continues via the

Internet where the search for Matthew has gone viral. I know in my

heart that he is still alive. He will be found and I will not leave

any stone unturned until I find him. One of the region's busiest train

stations has been closed today but not because of the weather. The

station at Peterborough has shut down for major renovation work. The

project is costing ?43 million. And ?40 million project that has

platforms, a free clip and new platforms, a free clip and new

signalling. It is about allowing the trains, making it easier for

customers to get onto the trains and also in times of trouble, having

greater capacity than incidents. It is thought the ?43 million project

will help to cater for a growing number of commuters and obesity's

economy. We are seeing more money come this way and it is very

important to us. We need the best possible service into London and

also into places like Leeds, York and Newcastle. Peter Barron needs to

play an important part along that line. Network rail says the work

will improve journeys for belief in a million passengers here. `` 44

million passengers here. In football, the manager of Norwich

City is in a bullish mood ahead of this weekend's game at home to Man

United. But Chris Houghton admitted today that the team's playing is

rather inconsistent. His Christmas list must have had

three points against Fulham on it but unfortunately did not work out

that way for him. He admits his team are inconsistent. I'm tall

yesterday, we were on a brand. We had not been beaten for three games.

It is my responsibility and the team's responsibility to get back to

a level of consistency that we were at before yesterday's game.

Yesterday, Manchester United gave Howell a 2`goal head start and still

won. So, any special plans for Wayne Rooney? We will play against him

like we play against anybody else. There was no difference. Of course,

he is a really good player, a star player, but we have played against

lots of very good players. In Gary Hooper, the Canaries also have a

player in strong form but they know they will have to be at their very

best to get anything tomorrow. The all`important weather now. We

have been largely OK. There are still a fuchsia was around

and it is quite blustery, but the showers are becoming much more

infrequent and as the wind stopped as well, we should see lower

temperatures but dry weather. A dry and bright start tomorrow, with a

bit of patchy cloud in the afternoon. Possibly some isolated

showers across southern parts of the region. Feeling a little bit chilly

but the wind is much lighter man today. A light to moderate

south`westerly. Dry and bright for the afternoon. Looking ahead to

Sunday, it will be a cold start because the temperatures overnight

on Saturday are likely to drop further. Maybe more of a widespread

ground frost. The sunshine should make you feel comfortable on Sunday

and then on Monday, another weather system working its way in. We start

the week worked and windy again. That's it. I'm back with the Look

East late news at 10.10pm. Bye for now.

Good evening. What a week it has been, a stormy start, a law through

Christmas, then a wild end to the week, had to keep up, isn't it? This

was a vicious area of low pressure last night, but today the winds have

been strongest across northern areas, where it is still blowing a

gale. That will gradually subside as we go through the night, although a

windy night across Scotland with frequent, heavy showers. A few
