on the BBC News Channel. I'm back with the News at Ten. Now it's | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. And we start tonight with the New Year's Honours List in | :00:12. | :00:21. | |
this region. A former head teacher who now runs an education trust in | :00:22. | :00:24. | |

and today Rachel de Souza becomes a Dame for services to education. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
I really wasn't expecting it, I know everyone says that but it was a real | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
shock and then it just felt great, like ten Christmases had just come | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
at once! As an able Seaman, Edward Slater | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
from Colchester served on D`day. Chairman of the Normandy Veterans | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Association, he is made an MBE. This is an honour to every man who | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
went to Normandy on six June 1944. This is their honour as well as | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
mine. Betty Baines from Diss in Norfolk | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
also gets a gong after 56 years of campanology, she is made an MBE for | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
services to bell`ringing. I'm over the moon, I'm so thrilled | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
and I can't believe it's happened for me, really. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Also honoured as Doctor Anthony Marsh, the new head of the East of | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
England Ambulance Service. He gets a Queen's Ambulance Medal. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
And Professor David Neill, a cancer specialist at Addenbrooke's Hospital | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
receives a CBE. Gillian Wood, from Henlow in | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Bedfordshire, has been involved in scouting for 40 years and is still | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
going strong. Her effort rewarded with the British Empire Medal. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
I was just an ordinary person and I got this wonderful award and I just | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
still cannot believe it. From chief executives to charity | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
workers, more than 100 people from the East were named in today's New | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Year's Honours List, recognition of their service to their communities | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
and the nation. A woman from Cambridge has been left | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
seriously injured after being attacked by a stag in the highlands | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
of Scotland. Kate Stone was airlifted to the Southern General | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Hospital in Glasgow. She's understood to be in intensive care. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
The incident happened in a village near Fort William in the early hours | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
of yesterday morning. Members of the Fire Brigades' Union | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
began their latest walk`out 15 minutes ago. The latest strike runs | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
from 6.30pm until half past midnight. In Essex those who take | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
part have been told they won't be paid for the rest of the shift. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Thousands of tonnes of sand is finally being cleared from the | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
seafront at Felixstowe ` more than three weeks after a massive tidal | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
surge hit the East Coast. The clean`up operation started almost | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
immediately, but work has been hampered by a new wave of storms. | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
Unlike other parts of our coastline, the title source left | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
thousands of pounds of sand on Felixstowe promenade, and is in the | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
process of being cleaned up. Is a problem we did not have on | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Felixstowe before, prior to the sea defence work that was put in place, | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
we had a prayer. `` we had a predominantly single beach. | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
This is either promenade looked afterwards. The plants and seating | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
have also been covered. The clean`up operation has been constantly | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
hampered by the Guild force winds, blowing the sands back on the | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
promenade. We are trying to make the access to | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
the promenade safer. When there are projected high tides and severe | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
winds, we will carry on. They will discuss moving the sands | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
next week. A couple from Norfolk who went | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
without food in order to pay for Christmas are warning others about | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
the dangers of falling into debt. Donna and John Smith turned to the | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
charity 'Christians Against Poverty' for help. Two years ago, this | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
couple's lives were consumed by debt. When he lost his job, they | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
turned to credit cards for money. They found themselves ?45,000 in | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
debt and had to file for bankruptcy, not helped by the stress | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
of paying for Christmas. You feel obligated to buy your children and | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
relatives and everybody something nice, but she cannot afford. It is a | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
big worry. We have gone without a couple of meals to try to get some | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
money together. The couple turned to this charity | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
for financial advice and assistance. The charity says that its client in | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
the east are nearly ?12,000 in the East on average. The majority of | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
money owed on credit cards and loans, all things that mount up at | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
this time of year. This is generally our busiest time | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
of year because people do not want to think about it, they want to | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
provide an ace Christmas for their family, particularly if they have | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
children. They may use credit cards or other short`term borrowing to | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
provide Christmas. The couple are now managing their | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
money and get free `` get free debt free. | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
It is looking promising that you will welcome in the New Year under a | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
clear sky. The cloud has still not quite cleared from the eastern half | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
of the region. It should soon be out into the North Sea, leaving us with | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
a largely dry night. Some patchy cloud, with the chance of showers, | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
but they might just get into the Western Power so for most of us it | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
will probably be dry at midnight. Relatively mild until midnight, but | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
temperatures will drop after that. Perhaps a touch of ground frost in | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
places. Some further showers after midnight across the region. Then it | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
looks like a dry start to New Year's Day. Not for long. A wet and windy | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
day to come for New Year's Day. Mild array will raise temperatures, but | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
the rain and cloud and the strength of the wind will not make it feel | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
great. This will be a very persistent and heavy spell offering. | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
Thank you very much that is all from us this evening. Happy New Year. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Goodbye. us this evening. Happy New Year. | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
team, have a happy New Year. Good evening. It looks like mother | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
nature may provide her own pyrotechnics in the run-up to bid | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
night tonight. We have some heavy showers in western parts, starting | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
to ease a bit across Scotland and Northern Ireland. But the showers | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
further south are heavier, with some flashes of lightning as they move | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
eastwards. They do get a bit more hit and miss as we head towards | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
midnight, but a greater chance of getting wet in the south as we move | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
into 2014. Cardiff and London could see heavy downpours. Further north, | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
you could be greeting the New Year on a dry note. A touch of frost in | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
northern and eastern areas going into New Year's Day. A few | :08:25. | :08:25. |
