:00:00. > 3:59:59end of the week? No. Had Russia heading our way and wet and windy
:00:00. > :00:13.again. That is all Hello and welcome to Look East.
:00:14. > :00:17.In the programme tonight: when it comes to this relief effort, money
:00:18. > :00:21.is no checked. We will spend what is necessary to help communities get
:00:22. > :00:23.through this difficult time. The Government says the Prime
:00:24. > :00:26.Minister's promise will apply to victims of the tidal surge too.
:00:27. > :00:30.The former X`Factor judge Tulisa appears in court accused of beating
:00:31. > :00:34.up a blogger at the V Festival. More misery for Norwich as they fall
:00:35. > :00:39.victim to two late goals at West Ham.
:00:40. > :00:44.And the fans aren't happy. We're just at a loss and I think we will
:00:45. > :00:47.end up rock bottom in the league at the end of the season.
:00:48. > :00:57.And all change at the museum. Why Darwin's beetles are on the move.
:00:58. > :01:01.First tonight, the government announces that victims of the tidal
:01:02. > :01:04.surge on the east coast will be entitled to compensation just like
:01:05. > :01:10.householders on the Somerset Levels and the Thames Valley.
:01:11. > :01:15.This is exactly what David Cameron said yesterday, "money is no
:01:16. > :01:19.object." He also promised a grant of up to ?5,000 for the victims of
:01:20. > :01:23.flooding to help them rebuild their homes. And then today, after the
:01:24. > :01:26.flooding dominated Prime Minister's Questions, it emerged the promise of
:01:27. > :01:32.financial help will be backdated to include the whole winter. And
:01:33. > :01:35.crucially for us, that means that people who were flooded during the
:01:36. > :01:46.tidal surge in December should qualify. The details now from Andrew
:01:47. > :01:49.Sinclair at Westminster. The flood emergency in the south`west and the
:01:50. > :01:53.Thames Valley is dominating politics at Westminster. The assumption that
:01:54. > :01:57.was being made today was that this package of measures was just for
:01:58. > :02:01.that part of the country, but this afternoon at a Downing Street
:02:02. > :02:06.briefing, I asked the prime Minister's official spokesman, what
:02:07. > :02:10.is the criteria for this money? What about those affected along the east
:02:11. > :02:14.coast to have seen their homes flooded? The official spokesman said
:02:15. > :02:19.to me, this scheme has been backdated to the start of winter. In
:02:20. > :02:25.other words, those who were affected by the December storm surge will
:02:26. > :02:29.qualify. Two months on, they are still clearing up along the quayside
:02:30. > :02:33.at Wells on the north Norfolk coast. All the properties here were flooded
:02:34. > :02:37.during the storm surge and they should now all be able to claim
:02:38. > :02:43.money to make their homes and businesses safer. One of the most
:02:44. > :02:52.arresting images of that night was this, and from the owners today, I
:02:53. > :02:59.welcome. It is a first`class idea. If it works, great. Maybe be small
:03:00. > :03:06.print will spoil it, but an unqualified answer is yes, that is
:03:07. > :03:09.great. The Prime Minister came to visit back in December but since
:03:10. > :03:16.then he has had to look at a lot more flood damage. We must improve
:03:17. > :03:21.our resilience to such weather. Anyone whose property was flooded in
:03:22. > :03:25.the storm surge will be able to claim up to ?5,000 to install flood
:03:26. > :03:31.defences. You can do some quite important work to make your home or
:03:32. > :03:35.your premises more secure, whether that is fitting a flood God, putting
:03:36. > :03:44.protection over air vents or putting bends down toilets to prevent water
:03:45. > :03:48.coming up through the sewers. Firms may also be able to claim back on
:03:49. > :03:54.VAT and tax and there will be help for farmers as well. The government
:03:55. > :04:00.is working hard to help those who have experienced problems. It is not
:04:01. > :04:03.clear if homes which were destroyed in the storm will be eligible for
:04:04. > :04:08.any money and there are still concerns about whether the region
:04:09. > :04:11.will get any extra sea defences. A lot of questions remain tonight but
:04:12. > :04:16.it looks as if more money is coming our way.
:04:17. > :04:20.So, as you said, Andrew, a lot of questions tonight. Do we have any
:04:21. > :04:24.details yet? No, the details will be worked out in the weeks to come.
:04:25. > :04:29.What we know is the money is coming from an emergency contingency fund.
:04:30. > :04:33.They had to have it in operation within the next week or so said that
:04:34. > :04:37.people can start putting in claims. Downing Street making it very clear
:04:38. > :04:41.that the ?5,000 you get will not be for a new kitchen is over, it will
:04:42. > :04:46.be primarily and only for people to install some kind of flood defence
:04:47. > :04:51.measure like a gate or some kind of special cupboard to go over the taps
:04:52. > :04:57.or the toilet. They are also saying that people will have to put in a
:04:58. > :05:00.claim for up to ?5,000, not the whole ?5,000. Putting a claim and
:05:01. > :05:05.they will look at it. The other question is, how much is this going
:05:06. > :05:11.cost? Some people have said it could cost up to ?40 million.
:05:12. > :05:14.Meanwhile, it's been another dreadful day weather`wise. Rain and
:05:15. > :05:18.high winds have swept across the region with predictable results. Kim
:05:19. > :05:25.Riley is at Finchingfield in Essex. Kim. If I had been standing here a
:05:26. > :05:31.few days ago, I would have been up to my waist in water. The water is
:05:32. > :05:35.high but not as high as it was. There has been strong winds and a
:05:36. > :05:41.lot of rain today, bringing down trees around the saffron Walden area
:05:42. > :05:46.and a power line was down as well for some time. Queen Elizabeth
:05:47. > :05:51.Bridge has been closed, and Ipswich was gridlocked when the Orwell
:05:52. > :06:00.Bridge was deadlocked `` was closed. That opened have been to gain an
:06:01. > :06:03.hour ago. There are many power cuts and power shortages as well. In
:06:04. > :06:08.Ipswich, the parks were closed for some time this afternoon for public
:06:09. > :06:11.safety reasons. Back in her six, I went to a village this morning where
:06:12. > :06:18.they feel they have been forgotten in their battle against the flood
:06:19. > :06:26.water. In low`lying law worth near Braley, they are worried about what
:06:27. > :06:30.the next few days will bring. The problem is that they are surrounded
:06:31. > :06:39.by low`lying bricks and they all meet here on this bridge. This river
:06:40. > :06:43.meets the tide from the River Crouch and that follows with serious
:06:44. > :06:48.flooding. Peter showed me the brook behind his home. The water level low
:06:49. > :06:53.this morning but all too regularly it over spilled into gardens and
:06:54. > :07:00.homes. Sometimes we are getting flooded three or four times a year
:07:01. > :07:08.now. We have had for `` we have had for flood close calls already this
:07:09. > :07:13.year. We cannot get insurance, it devalues the property, we spend a
:07:14. > :07:16.lot of money having to repair it. We are not living like normal people
:07:17. > :07:21.and they are doing nothing about it. Neighbours say a heavy downpour and
:07:22. > :07:27.a spring tide all too easily turn Church Road into a river. We appeal
:07:28. > :07:31.to Essex county council and our district Council and nobody takes
:07:32. > :07:36.any notice. Nobody thinks it is as bad as it really is down here.
:07:37. > :07:42.Looking at it now, you would think, no problem. Yes, but the rain and
:07:43. > :07:45.wind are coming in. This will be a different place tomorrow. Local
:07:46. > :07:50.people say the Brooks and drainage channels need to be properly
:07:51. > :08:01.maintained and they fear new developments will make a bad
:08:02. > :08:05.situation worse. I talked to Essex county council about the situation
:08:06. > :08:09.he at role with and they said they have been aware for some time about
:08:10. > :08:13.the long`standing problems in the village and they are continuing to
:08:14. > :08:16.work with the environment agency and partners to try to tackle that and
:08:17. > :08:21.other flooding issues across the county. As I say, here in flinching
:08:22. > :08:26.field, things really are not too bad tonight. We are being warned by the
:08:27. > :08:28.environment agency though that things do not look too happy come
:08:29. > :08:35.Friday. So where did that rainfall come
:08:36. > :08:39.from? Jules is here to explain. This is the system responsible for this
:08:40. > :08:44.afternoon's wet weather and this is the radar picture showing the rain.
:08:45. > :08:49.The green highlights the heaviest downpours, around five to seven
:08:50. > :08:53.millimetres in places, so another quarter of an inch. And accompanied
:08:54. > :08:56.by strong to gale force winds. These are the strongest gusts up to about
:08:57. > :09:08.5pm. The Met office had issued a yellow
:09:09. > :09:12.warning for more heavy rain and more strong winds on Friday. I will be
:09:13. > :09:14.back later in the programme with all the details.
:09:15. > :09:17.Look East has discovered that nine whistle blowers have come forward to
:09:18. > :09:21.make complaints about Colchester Hospital. A hotline was set up at
:09:22. > :09:24.the hospital in April. A freedom of information request also revealed
:09:25. > :09:30.that since 2010, three people have been dismissed or resigned for
:09:31. > :09:33.bullying or harassment. Two more disciplinary hearings will take
:09:34. > :09:37.place soon. The East of England Ambulance Trust
:09:38. > :09:40.is joining forces with the UEA to try to recruit more staff. A
:09:41. > :09:45.Paramedic Science degree course, which takes three years, will start
:09:46. > :09:47.at the university in September. The ambulance service says it
:09:48. > :09:53.desperately needs to recruit more paramedics. But the degree still
:09:54. > :09:57.needs to be approved. The pop star and former X Factor
:09:58. > :10:00.judge, Tulisa, has appeared in court charged with assault. Chelmsford
:10:01. > :10:03.Magistrates heard that the alleged incident took place at the V
:10:04. > :10:19.Festival last summer. Gareth George was in court. An unusual amount of
:10:20. > :10:26.press interest and chance said Crown Court `` Chan said Crown Court this
:10:27. > :10:31.morning. Tulisa arrived in a blacked out car and as the cameras clicked,
:10:32. > :10:37.she walked into court along with a co`defendant. Tulisa sang with a pop
:10:38. > :10:45.group and has also been a judge on the X factor. She was in court this
:10:46. > :10:49.morning to face a charge of assault by beating. She is accused of
:10:50. > :10:58.assaulting a man at the B Festival in Chelmsford in August last year.
:10:59. > :11:04.That was the day Beyonce headlined. She pleaded not guilty. Her
:11:05. > :11:10.co`defendant is accused of harassing the same man and also pleaded not
:11:11. > :11:15.guilty. There is a third defendant, a 38`year`old woman from
:11:16. > :11:22.Manchester, but she failed to appear this morning and a warrant was
:11:23. > :11:27.issued for her arrest. Tulisa and Gareth Barry were released on
:11:28. > :11:31.unconditional bail. The photographers were waiting once
:11:32. > :11:36.again when she left court. She will be back here at Chelmsford
:11:37. > :11:46.magistrates Court in May to face trial.
:11:47. > :11:58.Still to come, the Canaries Gold grab `` goal drought goes on.
:11:59. > :12:02.First, the perils of moving house when there are 4 million different
:12:03. > :12:06.things to pack. Faulty overhead lines, a problem
:12:07. > :12:10.with the signals, points failure. If you use the trains, you have heard
:12:11. > :12:13.the excuses. And according to the railway industry, one answer is to
:12:14. > :12:16.train hundreds of apprentices. In one of the first initiatives of its
:12:17. > :12:19.kind, a rail maintenance firm in Colchester has teamed up with the
:12:20. > :12:25.local college to recruit unemployed young people to fill the roles. And
:12:26. > :12:34.on this occasion, at least ten apprenticeships have led on to ten
:12:35. > :12:38.jobs. As with any lift, you need to
:12:39. > :12:42.appoint somebody in charge of the left who will give you instructions
:12:43. > :12:46.add you are working as a team. Raking into the jobs market can be
:12:47. > :12:51.tough for young people, with the unemployment rate under 25 at three
:12:52. > :12:54.times the adult rate. But these youngsters are on track for a career
:12:55. > :13:02.looking after Hutton 's railways. They applied and enrolled for a
:13:03. > :13:06.course at Colchester Institute and all three `` all ten were offered a
:13:07. > :13:12.job by network rail when they completed it. I really enjoy it. I
:13:13. > :13:17.like to learn new things, putting the effort new skills. Theoretically
:13:18. > :13:25.I could work at any rail company now. I preferred being outside, so I
:13:26. > :13:30.like the Arab law type of life. I suppose for working environment for
:13:31. > :13:39.me, it suits me down to the ground, really. The college course was
:13:40. > :13:45.designed by the lads's employer and its plans to take on more. We need
:13:46. > :13:50.more people because of the growth. Network rail is continually
:13:51. > :13:59.upgrading the UK network to cope with demand from passengers and
:14:00. > :14:04.there are new lines as well. The apprentices will continue to attend
:14:05. > :14:10.Colchester Institute one day a week as part of this apprenticeship. For
:14:11. > :14:15.all of these people to be successful and be offered an apprenticeship
:14:16. > :14:22.position is unprecedented. Hopefully we have helped them with the course,
:14:23. > :14:28.because the employer is looking for a work ethic and that is what they
:14:29. > :14:34.have found. Track engineers can earn ?35,000 a year or more. Commuters
:14:35. > :14:38.fed up with line failures must only hope that the new Colchester
:14:39. > :14:42.apprentices improve standards of service in the decades to come.
:14:43. > :14:46.Football and it was another bad night for Norwich City, battling to
:14:47. > :14:50.stay clear of the relegation zone in the Premier League. For most of the
:14:51. > :14:54.game, it looked like a good point away from home at West Ham. 0`0 with
:14:55. > :15:02.just a few minutes to go, then it all went wrong. Two late goals and
:15:03. > :15:09.more pressure on Chris Hughton. They can match man city but not ``
:15:10. > :15:12.Norwich's Premier league survival could ultimately be decided by
:15:13. > :15:16.nights like these. They were level pegging in the table, each with
:15:17. > :15:22.their own issues, just two points from safety. Norwich's big problem
:15:23. > :15:25.is finishing. Last night highlighted how their lack of killer instinct is
:15:26. > :15:33.costing them dear. For 80 minutes, they pounded the penalty area but
:15:34. > :15:39.they also faced a goalkeeper having one of those nights. He was equal to
:15:40. > :15:47.anything and everything. What an opportunity! All to reflect chances
:15:48. > :15:54.squandered. Typically, as the clock ticked, the tables turned, brutally
:15:55. > :16:00.for Chris Halton and his team. As the game opened up, West Ham took
:16:01. > :16:08.the lead, James Collins invading his marker to take the lead. Norwich
:16:09. > :16:13.were looking for an equaliser but Lady luck had already lost their
:16:14. > :16:21.cause `` left their cause. Another game gone. We only have ourselves to
:16:22. > :16:24.blame. It is a game and anybody seeing the game would have seen the
:16:25. > :16:29.chances we had, particularly away from home, and we have to capitalise
:16:30. > :16:33.on them. Otherwise, you are heaping problems on yourself and with the
:16:34. > :16:39.way West Ham played, direct and physical, you have got to be able to
:16:40. > :16:50.match that. With just one win in their last 11 games, the pressure on
:16:51. > :16:56.Norwich's manager and his style is becoming `` is growing day on day.
:16:57. > :17:02.He is too defensive. You look the man and you think, he is to `` the
:17:03. > :17:10.motivation is not there. For me, off. At least Chris Eaton knows he
:17:11. > :17:15.is not the only manager in the mire. But the question is still there and
:17:16. > :17:16.no one knows when the call could be made.
:17:17. > :17:20.Meanwhile in League One, Colchester lost away at Port Vale. Doug Loft
:17:21. > :17:24.scored twice for the home side. The first after 15 minutes, the next in
:17:25. > :17:28.a frosty second half. It was the U's first match in 24 days because of
:17:29. > :17:32.various postponements. The defeat puts Colchester United 14th in the
:17:33. > :17:36.table. Now here's one of those jobs you
:17:37. > :17:40.probably wouldn't want. Pack up four million delicate objects, ranging in
:17:41. > :17:44.size from a tiny beetle to the skeleton of a whale. That's the
:17:45. > :17:49.challenge facing workers at Cambridge's Museum of Zoology. The
:17:50. > :17:53.museum is to close for more than two years to get ready for an ?18
:17:54. > :18:03.million revamp. Not that they've raised all the money yet. Louise
:18:04. > :18:08.Hubball has this report. Building can be stressful experience
:18:09. > :18:11.at the of times. `` moving can be. Even more so when your cargo is an
:18:12. > :18:23.extinct river dolphin. There are millions of exhibit a is, from a
:18:24. > :18:28.great talk to a Tasmanian tiger. Now all are being packed up as part of a
:18:29. > :18:38.transformation at Cambridge's University `` Museum of zoology. You
:18:39. > :18:42.could use the word mammoth task but some of the specimens are much
:18:43. > :18:46.bigger than mammoths. We have until September to move them all into
:18:47. > :18:50.storage and that is not something museums do every day. We do not pack
:18:51. > :18:54.up our whole collections but this new developments mean we will have
:18:55. > :18:58.eager stores and people can go on guided tour is around the store
:18:59. > :19:04.rooms and see many of the objects as they are being preserved,
:19:05. > :19:08.researched. That will mean access to treasure is not normally on display,
:19:09. > :19:13.many of them connected to Charles Darwin. He set sail for America
:19:14. > :19:20.aboard the Beagle in 1831. He collected many species including
:19:21. > :19:25.these finches that formed the basis of his ground`breaking theory of
:19:26. > :19:30.revolution. Now the museum itself is evolving. This is what it will look
:19:31. > :19:35.like in 2016. An impressive ?18 million interactive space telling
:19:36. > :19:41.the story behind the artefact. We still need an extra ?3 million to
:19:42. > :19:44.fully realise our ambition. This is a grand project. It is very
:19:45. > :19:50.ambitious but we have the collections to match our ambition.
:19:51. > :19:55.The revamps museum will aim not just to be about the past. It will be
:19:56. > :19:59.part of a wider campus and will draw on current research from world
:20:00. > :20:04.experts based here who in turn will use the collections to try to
:20:05. > :20:09.predict the future of life on Earth. But in the short term, even the

:20:20. > :20:23.Back now to our lead story ` the weather and the threat of flooding.
:20:24. > :20:27.Parts of our region are notoriously flat and low`lying, yet seem to have
:20:28. > :20:31.escaped without floods at all. It's thanks to a device in the village of
:20:32. > :20:35.Denver which dates back 400 years. The technology may be different but
:20:36. > :20:38.the effect is still the same. When it comes to harnessing the
:20:39. > :20:42.power of water and making sure that the Fens stays drained, this place
:20:43. > :20:46.is absolutely crucial. It's called Denver Sluice and it's out in the
:20:47. > :20:51.middle of nowhere. Complex engineering here keeps tens of
:20:52. > :21:03.thousands of acres dry. Ben Bland went to find out how it all works.
:21:04. > :21:07.The Denver Sluice, doing what King Canute famously failed to do,
:21:08. > :21:11.literally holding back the tide and protecting this region from
:21:12. > :21:16.flooding. Without it? We would be talking about a scenario of flooded
:21:17. > :21:21.friends and Cambridge and Ely would be inundated with water. This is one
:21:22. > :21:27.of the sluice gates and it works in two ways. If the river level is high
:21:28. > :21:31.because of rainfall, the gates will open, allowing water to fly out to
:21:32. > :21:36.sea. If the tide is high and coming in, the gates will close and that
:21:37. > :21:41.stops water flowing that way to Cambridge and Ely. Without this
:21:42. > :21:44.sluice, tens of thousands of homes in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk would
:21:45. > :21:50.be flooded, along with thousands of acres of farmland. But the
:21:51. > :21:54.conditions are so extreme at the moment one sluice alone isn't enough
:21:55. > :22:00.because even at low tide, the water on this side is high enough that the
:22:01. > :22:03.gates at estate shot to stop it overwhelming and already high river
:22:04. > :22:07.further inland. While it protects Cambridge and Ely from the tide, it
:22:08. > :22:13.means the river water cannot flow out to sea, and that is where the
:22:14. > :22:19.second sluice comes in. It diverts the water into a relief channel, a

:22:27. > :22:31.Kings Lynn. Is it nearing capacity? No, we have got another two more
:22:32. > :22:36.metres of water we could store in there. Once it goes over that, we
:22:37. > :22:38.have storage reservoirs that the water can go into and be stored
:22:39. > :22:45.there until the levels go back down. They are to protect down a market,
:22:46. > :22:51.Watlington and any other towns on the relief channel. There has been a
:22:52. > :22:56.sluice here since the mid`1600 and now it can train three Olympics
:22:57. > :23:02.looming pulls worth of water every minute. It is managed 24 hours a
:23:03. > :23:09.day. It can also be used in times of drought, something which is unlikely
:23:10. > :23:16.to be needed any time seen. Let's get the weather now.
:23:17. > :23:22.The radar shows and narrow band of rain that rattled through fairly
:23:23. > :23:27.quickly this afternoon. Five to seven millimetres in places with
:23:28. > :23:30.winds gusting between 50 and 70 mph. There are showers following in
:23:31. > :23:34.behind and they will rattle through as well because it will stay windy
:23:35. > :23:40.overnight. Some of those showers could be wintry with sleet and is ``
:23:41. > :23:46.sleet and hail mixed in. Hope really we should see the ins `` the winds
:23:47. > :23:53.eased down a touch as we head through the night, with temperatures
:23:54. > :24:00.potentially down as low as freezing in rural areas. We could just see
:24:01. > :24:07.patchy ice in isolated areas as well. Tomorrow, that weather front
:24:08. > :24:12.moves away but then this one starts pushing in from the south`west. This
:24:13. > :24:15.is set to bring us more wet and windy weather on Friday. Tomorrow,
:24:16. > :24:21.we are in between the two systems and it is not too bad. The isobars
:24:22. > :24:24.are quite close together so it will be blustery but not as bad as this
:24:25. > :24:30.afternoon. We will see a scattering of showers but not for everybody.
:24:31. > :24:37.They could be wintry in places. Some decent sunny spells with a decent
:24:38. > :24:44.five or six Celsius and we finished the day largely fine. Taking a look
:24:45. > :24:48.at the next few days, Friday could be a dry start but then more rain
:24:49. > :24:51.pushing in from the south`west. There is a yellow warning in place
:24:52. > :24:58.from the Met office for that rain to be on the heavy side, up to about
:24:59. > :25:03.ten millimetres for us, so another half an inch. Although we will start
:25:04. > :25:08.off with moderate to fresh winds, as the brain pulled away, that is when
:25:09. > :25:12.we will see the strongest winds, up to 50 or 60 mph or more on the
:25:13. > :25:17.coast. We could hold onto those strong winds into Saturday which
:25:18. > :25:21.looks very windy to start off with, with wintry showers. Sunday, a bit
:25:22. > :25:30.of uncertainty but largely financed right with lighter winds. `` largely
:25:31. > :25:35.fine and dry. Frost could be a problem Thursday night.
:25:36. > :25:41.Let's go back to our top story now and the heavy rain and winds which
:25:42. > :25:44.have lashed the region this afternoon. Winds have been gusting
:25:45. > :25:48.at 70 miles per hour, more rain is on the way and a schoolteacher has
:25:49. > :25:51.been telling us about how she had a lucky escape when her car plunged
:25:52. > :25:54.into a swollen river. Mike Liggins has the latest.
:25:55. > :25:57.Jenny was on the road close to long now fit in Suffolk and her car
:25:58. > :26:03.skidded and plunged down a 12 foot embankment into a ruck. A local man
:26:04. > :26:09.helped to rescue Jenny as her car filled with floodwater. The water
:26:10. > :26:14.came up to the windscreen, I heard the water coming into the fit well,
:26:15. > :26:19.I turned my light on on the inside of the car and I saw it and I
:26:20. > :26:25.started screaming. These storms have put sea defences on the Suffolk
:26:26. > :26:28.coast at risk. This sea wall is close to being breached. If it
:26:29. > :26:33.fails, more than 600 acres of farmland will be flooded. With more
:26:34. > :26:37.heavy rain this afternoon, the environment agency is keeping a
:26:38. > :26:44.close eye on river levels. As the rain comes through today, it will
:26:45. > :26:47.top the system is up again. The 72 hour forecast shows us perhaps
:26:48. > :26:51.having another 20 millimetres of rain, filling up the system even
:26:52. > :26:55.more. Trees have been blowing down across the region. This is a big
:26:56. > :27:03.eucalyptus on the ground and Norwich. These pictures were taken
:27:04. > :27:07.in Lowestoft. Driving conditions have in difficult. The Orwell Bridge
:27:08. > :27:14.and the QE2 bridge at Dartford were closed for several hours this
:27:15. > :27:18.afternoon. Both have since reopened. Back here, Jenny wants to see the
:27:19. > :27:26.speed limit reduced. She was lucky to escape to tell the tale.
:27:27. > :27:31.Kim mentioned some power cuts earlier in the programme. UK power
:27:32. > :27:36.has just called us to say the problems have been fixed at rain in
:27:37. > :27:41.Suffolk and there were also more than 1000 homes cut off near Bury
:27:42. > :27:43.Saint Edmunds. Most are now back on with 150 still cut off. Good night.
