:00:00. > :00:00.soon. That is all from the BBC News at Six, goodbye from me. On BBC

:00:00. > :00:10.In Look East tonight: two men are missing presumed dead after

:00:11. > :00:14.apparently jumping off a ferry heading to Holland. We'll be live

:00:15. > :00:19.with the coastguards who ran the massive search and rescue operation

:00:20. > :00:25.without success. Also in the programme: the Tory MP

:00:26. > :00:28.taking on the Treasury over Bingo. Robert Halfon says bingo halls are

:00:29. > :00:34.paying too much in tax. An eye in the sky. How new

:00:35. > :00:41.technology is helping the RSPB protect our wildlife.

:00:42. > :00:42.And on a Norfolk beach, returned to the wild. The orphaned seal pups

:00:43. > :00:54.heading for open sea. Good evening and welcome to Look

:00:55. > :01:00.East live from the ops room at the Coastguard centre in

:01:01. > :01:04.Walton`on`the`Naze in Essex. This morning two men thought to have been

:01:05. > :01:08.deported from the UK jumped off a ferry heading from Harwich to the

:01:09. > :01:10.Hook of Holland. That sparked a huge rescue effort, which was

:01:11. > :01:13.co`ordinated from here. They called off the search at lunchtime. No`one

:01:14. > :01:16.was found, We'll speak to the coastguard manager in a moment, but

:01:17. > :01:19.first this report from Gareth George. Archie Turnbull is the

:01:20. > :01:22.manager of the Coastguard Centre. On the water and in the air. A search

:01:23. > :01:27.for two passengers seen jumping from a North Sea ferry. This is the ferry

:01:28. > :01:32.that raised the alarm. The Stanek Britannica. Its sales the route

:01:33. > :01:39.between Holland and Harwich. This is Harwich where the ferry set sale.

:01:40. > :01:44.The ferry 's owners says it is believed to passengers jumped

:01:45. > :01:50.overboard at 9:45am, three quarters of an hour into its voyage. It's

:01:51. > :01:54.normal route takes it straight across the North Sea but today, he

:01:55. > :02:00.joined the search for the missing passengers. The ferry turned back on

:02:01. > :02:06.itself, looping around in circles. It finally had to continue to

:02:07. > :02:10.Holland, delayed by 75 minutes. Meanwhile, a search and rescue

:02:11. > :02:15.helicopter from RAF Wattisham was scrambled as lifeboats and Turks

:02:16. > :02:22.from the port of Felixstowe headed for the area. When the guys first go

:02:23. > :02:25.out there, it is all eyes looking in every possible direction, it is a

:02:26. > :02:30.very co`ordinated effort. There is an awful of emotions running because

:02:31. > :02:35.there are people in the water and we know what the potential outcome

:02:36. > :02:39.could be. I believe some clothing was recovered but nothing has been

:02:40. > :02:43.found. Nothing definitively tied into the people reported overboard.

:02:44. > :02:49.When nothing is found and it is called off, there is a real sort of

:02:50. > :02:54.down at that point. Earlier this comedy lifeboat returned to base.

:02:55. > :02:59.The search was stood down after 1pm. It is understood the items of

:03:00. > :03:18.clothing found with two leather jackets.

:03:19. > :03:37.This is the man who coordinated the search today. The ferry left the

:03:38. > :03:40.port of Felixstowe. It was a peer just before 10am. That is when we

:03:41. > :03:46.got information that the two guys had jumped overboard. The

:03:47. > :03:48.information changed. It had gone over ten minutes and then once the

:03:49. > :03:54.captain on`board the vessel interviewed the wit is it then

:03:55. > :04:02.transpired he jumped over near the beach end. `` the whip is.

:04:03. > :04:11.What are their chances of swimming that? Unless they were really strong

:04:12. > :04:18.swimmers, their chances of getting to the shore were pretty unlikely.

:04:19. > :04:21.If they had jumped a little sooner? The tide would still have taken them

:04:22. > :04:28.out of the port. How many vessels did you have in the search this

:04:29. > :04:32.morning? We had a number of vessels. We had lifeboats, commercial

:04:33. > :04:40.vessels, small fishing vessels as well. And all in all, we had 21

:04:41. > :04:45.resources out today. That included the aircraft and the police

:04:46. > :04:49.helicopter and also our own volunteer coastguards. If they had

:04:50. > :04:55.been in the water, you would have seen them. I am pretty confident the

:04:56. > :04:59.way that we saturated that area, from the air and the vessels, we

:05:00. > :05:04.would have found them. It is a very tall ship. If someone jumps off

:05:05. > :05:08.that, what are their chances of getting away from the boat? They

:05:09. > :05:13.could easily get sucked into the propeller. If they jumped off the

:05:14. > :05:23.stern, they could probably clear the ship. But you think it would be

:05:24. > :05:26.difficult to reach the shore. I think it would be difficult the way

:05:27. > :05:30.the tide is in a part of the coastline for them to reach the

:05:31. > :05:33.shore. Fascinating. Thank you for telling us. We will be back here

:05:34. > :05:36.with the latest information. Now back to the studio.

:05:37. > :05:40.Other news now and dozens of people from this region have gathered in

:05:41. > :05:49.London to protest on behalf of the bingo industry. They say it's unfair

:05:50. > :05:52.that the game is taxed at 20%. The figure compares to 15% for

:05:53. > :05:58.bookmakers and 12% for lottery tickets. Bingo is big business in

:05:59. > :06:02.the East, with 13 bingo halls across Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. In a

:06:03. > :06:05.moment, I'll be speaking to Robert Halfon the MP backing the campaign.

:06:06. > :06:13.But first this report from our political correspondent, Andrew

:06:14. > :06:16.Sinclair. This is the Harlow bingo hall. It is

:06:17. > :06:21.one of the most popular in the country with 54,000 members. Even on

:06:22. > :06:28.a weekday night in February, there are around 100 people in. It is just

:06:29. > :06:35.a night out, isn't it? Isn't it `` great. I have been coming up here

:06:36. > :06:41.for years. You see other people that you know. But for us, it is at

:06:42. > :06:45.social night out. According to the latest figures, there are 41 million

:06:46. > :06:50.visits to bingo halls every year. Compared with 23 million visits to a

:06:51. > :06:54.league foot or match. 19 million visits to a National trust property.

:06:55. > :07:02.This is an industry in crisis. Membership is halved in the last

:07:03. > :07:06.seven years. The smoking ban is partly to blame but also says the

:07:07. > :07:09.industry is the high rate of tax. We are asking for the government to

:07:10. > :07:13.level the playing field. We would like to build state`of`the`art

:07:14. > :07:18.premises so that we can attract more numbers. Which is why bingo players

:07:19. > :07:21.from Harlow joined others from around the region today to

:07:22. > :07:29.demonstrate outside Parliament. A petition containing 300,000

:07:30. > :07:40.signatures was wheeled past Number ten. The home of `` it is important

:07:41. > :07:43.because bingo clubs are a massive social resource. It is the most

:07:44. > :07:48.innocuous form of gambling but I believe the one that is most social.

:07:49. > :07:51.It produces revenue for the Treasury but the danger is that if you

:07:52. > :07:56.overtax it, you are killing the goose that lays the golden egg. It

:07:57. > :07:59.is back in 2009 that Alistair Darling changed the way that bingo

:08:00. > :08:05.is taxed. He said it would benefit the industry, it is not. Ministers

:08:06. > :08:08.tell me that they are simple heading to this issue but with cutting the

:08:09. > :08:13.deficit is still a priority and now with extra demands for more spending

:08:14. > :08:18.on flood defences, it is by no means clear if the Chancellor will be able

:08:19. > :08:22.to find the money. Cutting the tax would cost ?20 million. Campaigners

:08:23. > :08:29.say it is a price worth paying. And Robert Halfon is at Westminster

:08:30. > :08:32.now. Is this really a priority, given the state of the country 's

:08:33. > :08:38.finances? Yes, it is incredibly important. I know Harlow bingo club

:08:39. > :08:43.very well. I am a member myself. It has 54,000 members. 100,000 people

:08:44. > :08:46.went through the club over the past year. And thousands of people use

:08:47. > :08:53.bingo clubs across the East of England. And it is a social good, a

:08:54. > :08:57.community activity, thousands of people come together, it is a place

:08:58. > :09:01.that women like to go to because they feel safe and it is ending that

:09:02. > :09:06.we should support and boosting bingo means boosting jobs and boosting

:09:07. > :09:12.investment. But your party and the government says the priority is to

:09:13. > :09:18.reduce the deficit and yet your campaigns on fuel and SR about

:09:19. > :09:26.getting more money out of the Treasury the Treasury are going to

:09:27. > :09:29.raise 300,000 `` ?300 million through this taxation and they

:09:30. > :09:31.should give a little bit of this back to ensure that it is taxed

:09:32. > :09:36.fairly. We face an unfair situation. Bingo

:09:37. > :09:43.is taxed at 20%. The companies do not have the money to invest. Other

:09:44. > :09:47.forms of gambling are taxed at 15%. All we are saying is there should be

:09:48. > :09:51.a level playing field to boost bingo, boost jobs and boost prizes

:09:52. > :09:56.as well. We heard in the report that the tax was changed in 2009. Why was

:09:57. > :10:00.it changed and why was it thought that the time that it would benefit

:10:01. > :10:04.the industry? It has always been an anomaly that bingo clubs have been

:10:05. > :10:07.taxed in this way. It is quite technical why the Treasury decided

:10:08. > :10:12.to do it. It is a game that has been going on for a number of years. What

:10:13. > :10:16.the clubs around the country need is much more investment. We can create

:10:17. > :10:21.jobs, get a bigger prize for the thousands of people who play bingo

:10:22. > :10:28.and it is a social good. People love it, it brings people together, it is

:10:29. > :10:30.more like a club. If you come to the Harlow bingo club, you will see

:10:31. > :10:40.hundreds of people there at all times of day.

:10:41. > :10:43.The future of the Deanes School in Essex has been decided after months

:10:44. > :10:46.of uncertainty. Protests were held when the council said it would close

:10:47. > :10:50.the school in Thundersley and replace it with a smaller one. But a

:10:51. > :11:00.government inspector has ruled the school can remain as it is.

:11:01. > :11:06.Still to come, high`tech bird`watching from the RSPB and the

:11:07. > :11:09.seals or fund after the tidal surge in December, today eight of them

:11:10. > :11:13.were strong enough to return to the sea.

:11:14. > :11:18.All this week on Look East, we're marking the centenary of the

:11:19. > :11:21.outbreak of the First World War. Tonight the bombardment of

:11:22. > :11:25.Lowestoft. It happened in the spring of 1916 when the port was attacked

:11:26. > :11:29.from the sea by German destroyers. They were hardly visible sitting

:11:30. > :11:33.miles out virtually on the horizon. The onslaught left four people dead

:11:34. > :11:42.and more than 200 buildings damaged. Here's Kevin Burch.

:11:43. > :11:48.This was London Road South in Lowestoft on April 25 1916 after a

:11:49. > :11:56.pounding from the sea. 60 German shells struck in little more than

:11:57. > :12:00.ten minutes. Hard to imagine today. We knew it was a big naval gun and

:12:01. > :12:05.we realised what was happening. Bombardment. Mike Sims is reading

:12:06. > :12:10.from an account of the attack written by his great`grandfather,

:12:11. > :12:19.Alfred Turner. One struck the cable end of a series of cottages.

:12:20. > :12:23.Alfred lived at 137 London Rd S. And had a vantage point from this attic

:12:24. > :12:27.window. After this, there was a lull. We all

:12:28. > :12:35.went up and saw the torpedo pod destroyers steaming north to meet

:12:36. > :12:38.the dreadnoughts. It must have been horrendous, the

:12:39. > :12:44.noise and the sense of isolation because of the noise. They could not

:12:45. > :12:48.see or hear anyone else around them. The whole world must have sounded as

:12:49. > :12:54.if it was falling apart. And to some extent, it was. Why the attack? The

:12:55. > :12:58.Germans wanted to disrupt the port, also to draw the Navy into open

:12:59. > :13:02.warfare at sea. And they were keen to support the Easter uprising by

:13:03. > :13:06.nationalists in Ireland. The idea being that it might draw some Army

:13:07. > :13:10.reserves over towards the east coast, perhaps the thought that

:13:11. > :13:13.there was an invasion about to take race and when the uprising began in

:13:14. > :13:20.Ireland, the reserves that might have been sent there might E.ON the

:13:21. > :13:25.wrong side of the country. I met John at the kitchen Centre,

:13:26. > :13:31.opened in 1919, in memory of the man with that iconic face and finger.

:13:32. > :13:42.And there are the reminders of the conflict. The brothers created the

:13:43. > :13:46.tinned steel that were the Russians for the troops in World War I. It

:13:47. > :13:51.was the first ready meal in a tin. Produced in Lowestoft, the rations

:13:52. > :13:56.became world`famous but they were not to everyone's taste. There is

:13:57. > :14:01.one phrase from World War I which says warm, they were edible, cold

:14:02. > :14:04.they were a man killer. 100 years on their desperate to

:14:05. > :14:09.document even more the role played by the brothers. Likely bombardment,

:14:10. > :14:16.it is a cheeky piece in this town is his torrid jigsaw. This was the

:14:17. > :14:21.first time in the north`east in 1914 but British citizens had come under

:14:22. > :14:28.attack since the Norman conquest. It is hard to imagine how much damage

:14:29. > :14:32.could have been caused and yet there is very little trace of it today. It

:14:33. > :14:35.was a precursor of what was to come during the Second World War and what

:14:36. > :14:39.could have happened during the Cold War as well. It is hugely

:14:40. > :14:42.significant and it is important that we remember it locally and

:14:43. > :14:46.nationally as well. Tomorrow on Look East, the

:14:47. > :14:50.remarkable story of Bernard Vann. He was a priest from Northamptonshire

:14:51. > :14:53.who rose up the ranks and won a Victoria Cross after leading his

:14:54. > :14:55.battalion to victory at the Somme. Present day vicar Richard Coles

:14:56. > :15:01.retraces Vann's footsteps to find out how a man of a God could become

:15:02. > :15:04.a man of war. Football now and following last

:15:05. > :15:08.night's games, it's hotting up in both League One and Two at the top

:15:09. > :15:16.of the table and at the bottom. Phil Daley has the details.

:15:17. > :15:20.Northampton 's fortune is needed to change if they are to stay and the

:15:21. > :15:22.foot or lead and after that win over Hartlepool on Saturday, lightning

:15:23. > :15:39.would have to strike twice against Southend. It did, and they found

:15:40. > :15:43.themselves... It was enough to move them off the bottom of the table.

:15:44. > :15:48.Safety is still five points away from them though. The horrible

:15:49. > :15:54.things, the defending, what we needed to do, which we have done

:15:55. > :15:58.really well over my time here, it was first Sam Davies the opportunity

:15:59. > :16:03.later to get on the ball and try and come to from there. Stevenage remain

:16:04. > :16:12.at the foot of the table in league one. It took them five Mr scoring is

:16:13. > :16:19.cruel. `` it took them five minutes to score against Crewe. Stevenage

:16:20. > :16:23.held on for the win. They are now four points from safety. Colchester

:16:24. > :16:26.remain close the danger zone after picking up nothing from their match

:16:27. > :16:33.with several United. A penalty in the final minute sealed their fate.

:16:34. > :16:37.There was better news for MK dons. They kept their slim hopes of

:16:38. > :16:46.promotion alive with a win at Oldham.

:16:47. > :16:55.The RSPB has come up with a new way of bird`watching ` using a small

:16:56. > :16:58.remote`controlled helicopter. The charity says it's hard to monitor

:16:59. > :17:08.certain species by foot, simply because it scares the birds away.

:17:09. > :17:18.But this eye in the sky is opening up new horizons. Mike Liggins has

:17:19. > :17:25.been to see it in action. This is the RSPB 's Q division. These men

:17:26. > :17:36.are perfecting the use of this special helicopter. But doesn't it

:17:37. > :17:40.scare them? Apparently not. It is a completely alien shape as it sees a

:17:41. > :17:47.dip in the sky and we find that from a test so far that they can BT

:17:48. > :17:54.ignore the helicopter. Today we got some great images. Nigel and Andy

:17:55. > :17:59.have also trialled the use of a camera at night to try and spot the

:18:00. > :18:05.bird. They are very sneaky and difficult to find. They hang around

:18:06. > :18:12.in tall, dense vegetation. That makes it difficult for us to count

:18:13. > :18:19.them. We are seeing if we can use a similar imaging camera to use at

:18:20. > :18:25.night. And this is not the only new toy. The RSPB want to know more

:18:26. > :18:29.about how goals reactor structures at sea and to do that, they plan to

:18:30. > :18:34.scrap this device to some lesser black backed gulls. At the moment,

:18:35. > :18:41.we know very little about how birds respond when they come up against

:18:42. > :18:51.the structures. This is all in one. We will put it on the back of a

:18:52. > :18:55.bird. It is unbelievable. Andy and Nigel admitted is still

:18:56. > :18:59.early days but if the helicopter works as well as they hope, we

:19:00. > :19:06.should be able to find out much more about those hard to reach mammals

:19:07. > :19:10.and birds. From the RSPB to the RSPCA and seals

:19:11. > :19:14.orphaned after the tidal surge in December have been released back

:19:15. > :19:18.into the wild. More than 100 pups were taken to the wildlife hospital

:19:19. > :19:22.in Norfolk in one of the biggest rescue operations in its 25`year

:19:23. > :19:31.history. Kim Riley witnessed the first batch returning to the sea.

:19:32. > :19:38.They have been driven 60 miles from the hospital. Eight now very healthy

:19:39. > :19:42.pups carried onto the beach by the RSPCA teams, about to be released

:19:43. > :19:45.from their stretcher hammocks. After the surge, the centre had been

:19:46. > :19:51.overwhelmed. Staff working around the clock to keep very sick orphaned

:19:52. > :19:55.pups alive. They cried for their mothers and had

:19:56. > :19:58.to be fed fish soup through a tube every four hours. It has taken a

:19:59. > :20:03.long time for the week is to learn to feed on their own. The fittest

:20:04. > :20:10.and fattest recovering in outdoor pools.

:20:11. > :20:14.This morning, fully recovered grey seals were confronted with the open

:20:15. > :20:20.sea. They have had months of tender loving care in the centre. Just

:20:21. > :20:25.about to be released and the big test now is will they head straight

:20:26. > :20:27.for the water. A diddle hesitation, perhaps put off by the herd of

:20:28. > :20:35.photographers watching their every move. It finally, into the waves

:20:36. > :20:42.they went. It is up fantastic. It is a job well done. It is fabulous. It

:20:43. > :20:46.is great. They have never actually been in the water for any period of

:20:47. > :20:51.time. You never know what they are going to do. But they have gone off

:20:52. > :20:56.really well. For those who happen to come along, a wonderful spectacle.

:20:57. > :21:00.We did not know the news. We were just lucky to be here. It is nice

:21:01. > :21:08.for Alfie to see them going back to the wildlife and natural habitats.

:21:09. > :21:12.Wonderful. It was pure chance we were here. Today's release was just

:21:13. > :21:14.down the coast from the sand dunes where the orphaned seal pups were

:21:15. > :21:18.found washed ashore after the violent storms. Over the next few

:21:19. > :21:23.weeks and months, further batches will be released. For some time

:21:24. > :21:31.today, their heads bobbed up and down off the beach. Eight healthy

:21:32. > :21:34.young seals. Now it is up to them. Back now to our top story and a

:21:35. > :21:40.massive search and rescue operation off the coast of Felixstowe. The

:21:41. > :21:44.authorities say two men, thought to have been deported from the UK,

:21:45. > :21:51.jumped off a ferry. Stewart is with the coastguard at Walton now.

:21:52. > :21:57.Yes, at the operations centre, we have had a 999 call come through.

:21:58. > :22:01.For that moment, you see how things slip into operation but actually, it

:22:02. > :22:04.was one that was eventually found to be not something that they needed to

:22:05. > :22:10.get involved in but they were very busy here this morning when the

:22:11. > :22:13.alarm was raised just before 10am. The search was largely off the coast

:22:14. > :22:20.at Felixstowe which is about five miles up the coast from here. Kevin

:22:21. > :22:27.Birch has the latest details. Because this very had only just left

:22:28. > :22:30.port and Conor PSG re`that's gone up the estuary when the alarm was

:22:31. > :22:35.raised, it meant the vessel was still fairly close to the shore when

:22:36. > :22:38.the search was under way. A lot of people were able to stand and watch

:22:39. > :22:45.the drama unfold. One of those was James Hayes. He is a bar manager. He

:22:46. > :22:59.told me a little bit about what happened. I looked out of the front

:23:00. > :23:03.window. I saw a lot of activity, the helicopter, a lot of boats. I

:23:04. > :23:10.thought it was a training exercise. And then I heard a little bit later

:23:11. > :23:13.that someone had gone off the ferry. It is still only nine hours since

:23:14. > :23:17.this happened so there is still a lot more information to come out to

:23:18. > :23:23.explain why this happened. This is a strong seafaring community. As

:23:24. > :23:26.someone said to me a short while ago, whatever the wise and

:23:27. > :23:34.wherefores, this is a tragedy. This is the loss of two lives.

:23:35. > :23:39.This is one of those stories where we are getting information

:23:40. > :23:42.throughout the day. It started off, we had the first reports coming in

:23:43. > :23:45.and then we were getting more information dripping through to us

:23:46. > :23:51.throughout the day. What is the latest we have? The speculation is

:23:52. > :23:56.that the two passengers missing from the ferry are actually Eastern

:23:57. > :24:01.European is from Albania. The speculation is that they arrived

:24:02. > :24:05.with a party of 15 Albanians on a previous ferry that arrived at

:24:06. > :24:08.around 3:30am. They were not allowed into the country so they were put

:24:09. > :24:13.back on the ferry which was then going to take them back to Holland.

:24:14. > :24:16.And that sort of ads up if the speculation is that they jumped from

:24:17. > :24:20.the ferry at the point when it was closest to the shore. The other

:24:21. > :24:25.information that we have heard is that perhaps the captain of the

:24:26. > :24:28.ferry was not aware that the passengers had gone overboard for

:24:29. > :24:35.half an hour or so and he was told by one of the other Albanians in the

:24:36. > :24:38.party. The speculation is that did that half an hour give the missing

:24:39. > :24:46.passengers half an hour to get ashore? Dutch police are on board

:24:47. > :24:50.the ferry in Holland. Yes, it arrived in Holland a short time ago.

:24:51. > :24:53.The police will have been waiting for the ferry there. No doubt

:24:54. > :24:58.interested to speak to the Albanians in the same party. That is it for

:24:59. > :25:04.now. Back to the studio. Time for the weather forecast.

:25:05. > :25:11.We have got some changes on the way. This is a rain bearing weather

:25:12. > :25:15.system out in the Atlantic. It will bring some rain but not till much

:25:16. > :25:20.later to make. And it will be a fine evening with some clear spells to

:25:21. > :25:25.start the night. Looking largely dry as well. Then increasing amounts of

:25:26. > :25:28.cloud. A freshening breeze will be a sign that this weather front is on

:25:29. > :25:32.its way. It will bring heavy rain into the early hours of tomorrow

:25:33. > :25:37.morning. Temperatures will probably not get lower than five degrees.

:25:38. > :25:42.Quite blustery conditions by the end of the night. It is not the best of

:25:43. > :25:45.starts to the day tomorrow. It will be quite cloudy with outbreaks of

:25:46. > :25:53.rain first thing. The sunshine will eventually come out. We could have

:25:54. > :25:58.some heavy showers in the evening. Once we have got rid of this rain, a

:25:59. > :26:02.lot of cloud around. It should break up and we should see the sunshine

:26:03. > :26:05.come out. In the sunshine, temperatures are expected to get to

:26:06. > :26:11.10 Celsius. It will be quite a blustery day. The wind blowing in

:26:12. > :26:17.some showers and these really could be on the heavy side for the

:26:18. > :26:20.afternoon. Then the weather forecast gets quite interesting. We have an

:26:21. > :26:23.area of low pressure that is expected to move in on Thursday

:26:24. > :26:28.night into the early hours of Friday morning. There is some uncertainty

:26:29. > :26:32.on the East track of this but it does look as if it will bring some

:26:33. > :26:36.heavy rain and strong winds and possibly something a bit wintry. To

:26:37. > :26:39.not be surprised if you wake up on Friday morning with a bit of sleep

:26:40. > :26:46.on the grass. Stay tuned to the forecast. The detail will be nailed

:26:47. > :26:50.down in the next 24 hours. A couple of cold nights will follow one

:26:51. > :26:54.Friday and Saturday. It will certainly not feel great on Friday.

:26:55. > :26:58.The weather is staying unsettled until we get a Sunday.

:26:59. > :27:03.Thank you very much. That is all from us. We will have any

:27:04. > :27:08.developments on the ferry story on our late News at 10:25pm.
