:00:23. > :00:22.plane behind me was involved in a full`scale emergency.
:00:23. > :00:26.In the cycling, what does the success of the Women's Tour mean for
:00:27. > :00:44.And how to help the hedgehog now its habitat is under threat.
:00:45. > :00:47.Norwich Airport declared a full emergency this afternoon,
:00:48. > :00:56.after the pilot of a Boeing 737 reported fumes in the cockpit.
:00:57. > :01:00.The incident happened this afternoon.
:01:01. > :01:03.Ten fire engines were drafted in as the KLM aircraft,
:01:04. > :01:06.flying from Manchester to Schiphol, landed safely with more than 100
:01:07. > :01:13.Our chief reporter Kim Riley is at the airport now.
:01:14. > :01:18.'s I am just being deafened by a passing aircraft. They are
:01:19. > :01:23.describing this as a precautionary landing. The pilot was clearly
:01:24. > :01:30.worried. The plane diverted from its root. It landed safely at 2:37pm.
:01:31. > :01:33.There were more than ten fire engines on the ground waiting for
:01:34. > :01:36.it. Just after 3pm, the emergency was lifted.
:01:37. > :01:39.The Boeing 737 parked up on its stand after 108 passengers
:01:40. > :01:43.The pilot had reported an electrical fault and the smell
:01:44. > :01:47.It triggered a full`scale emergency plan.
:01:48. > :01:49.What happens is that the aircraft lands.
:01:50. > :01:52.Air traffic control then give the commission for the engines to
:01:53. > :01:56.escort the aircraft back to stand, as a precautionary measure.
:01:57. > :01:58.I can confirm the aircraft landed safely.
:01:59. > :02:07.The incident was terminated at about 3pm.
:02:08. > :02:10.After the landing, engineer Phil Hudson opted to fly home to
:02:11. > :02:12.Manchester rather than journeying on.
:02:13. > :02:15.When the door was opened, at the rear of the plane,
:02:16. > :02:21.Certainly much more noticeable after it had landed.
:02:22. > :02:24.So by that stage you were getting quite worried?
:02:25. > :02:37.We landed and it is just when you see all of the fire engines, that
:02:38. > :02:43.One of the firemen asked me if it was OK, did I smell the smoke.
:02:44. > :02:50.No panic? No panic.
:02:51. > :02:55.Engineers from KLM have been checking over the plane.
:02:56. > :02:58.Arrangements have been made for most passengers to go
:02:59. > :03:08.We heard from Richard Pace, the operations director there.
:03:09. > :03:13.We can speak to him now from the airport.
:03:14. > :03:24.First of all, how unusual is it for Norwich to have this kind of
:03:25. > :03:28.emergency landing? Good evening. We experience a diversion of this
:03:29. > :03:32.nature may be two or three times per year due to geographical location.
:03:33. > :03:40.Particularly if aircraft are travelling to UK air ports `` from
:03:41. > :03:42.UK airports to Amsterdam. Norwich Airport is usually the nearest
:03:43. > :03:49.location for an aircraft to divert to if it has a problem. Wii U this
:03:50. > :03:54.was a 77. That is not the type of plane you would normally have at
:03:55. > :04:00.this airport. Are there limits to the 10th of plane that? We do
:04:01. > :04:05.operate a 77 on a regular basis during the summer season. `` a
:04:06. > :04:12.Boeing 737. We are well used to handling this size and aircraft. We
:04:13. > :04:17.could handle up to 767 on occasion. These are enormous`aircraft during
:04:18. > :04:22.the summer holiday traffic. All went smoothly. What is the latest
:04:23. > :04:29.situation about what will happen to the passengers? I spoke to the duty
:04:30. > :04:34.stuff just before coming near to speak to you and when I last spoke
:04:35. > :04:38.to them, the airline has not yet made a decision whether the aircraft
:04:39. > :04:44.will be going this evening. What will happen if it does not go? There
:04:45. > :04:48.are various options. They can be put on any flight that is available from
:04:49. > :04:51.Norwich. They may be transported to other airports or may be transported
:04:52. > :04:54.to other airports or maybe offered overnight accommodation in the event
:04:55. > :04:58.that flight does not go again. Thank you very much.
:04:59. > :05:00.First tonight, the inquest into the death of a
:05:01. > :05:03.mother of six after what her family thought was "routine treatment".
:05:04. > :05:24.She and her family expected her to live a few more months when she was
:05:25. > :05:27.admitted to a hospice in Norwich, where she died in September 2012.
:05:28. > :05:29.She was taken there for symptom control
:05:30. > :05:36.The inquest heard how she had been sitting up, smiling
:05:37. > :05:44.Andrea West's mother said when she first saw her daughter
:05:45. > :05:47.in the hospice, she was a picture of health.
:05:48. > :05:51.Her face was a lovely colour following a blood transfusion.
:05:52. > :05:54.But she said the following day her daughter was
:05:55. > :05:57.near enough comatosed, drugged up so much she could hardly talk.
:05:58. > :06:02.Andrea West's sister told the hearing she became distant,
:06:03. > :06:04.incoherent and appeared to be heavily drugged.
:06:05. > :06:08.The coroner was told the family had asked staff
:06:09. > :06:12.at the hospice if Andrea was on the Liverpool care pathway.
:06:13. > :06:17.Andrea's family say she wanted to live as long as possible because
:06:18. > :06:22.Medical staff say her condition worsened.
:06:23. > :06:33.The coroner heard Mrs West and her relatives had reversed a decision
:06:34. > :06:36.The inquest heard how the doctor had obtained
:06:37. > :06:39.an agreement from Andrea West that she would not be resuscitated
:06:40. > :06:43.The solicitor for the family told her every witness had described how
:06:44. > :06:47.drowsy and sleepy Andrea West was and at times she was unresponsive.
:06:48. > :06:49."I wonder whether you think it was appropriate to discuss not
:06:50. > :06:53."resuscitating when she was drowsy and not able to speak."
:06:54. > :06:59.Doctor Grant agreed the patient was sleepy but said she
:07:00. > :07:01.was easily rousable and understood the questions on non`resuscitation.
:07:02. > :07:05.The solicitor continued, "did you ask if Andrea wanted her
:07:06. > :07:10."They were due to arrive in two hours.
:07:11. > :07:15."Do you normally have relatives present
:07:16. > :07:23.? Yes, she said. The inquest resumes tomorrow.
:07:24. > :07:26.This weekend, work will start on upgrading the signals and track
:07:27. > :07:30.It's costing ?7 million and Network Rail believes it will lead
:07:31. > :07:35.They are hoping to keep delays to a minimum and the work should be
:07:36. > :07:44.Ageing railway tracks at Colchester station will now be replaced.
:07:45. > :07:50.Network Rail is starting work on a ?7 million programme to upgrade the
:07:51. > :07:55.line. The aim is a more reliable service for commuters. We are
:07:56. > :07:58.spending ?2 billion over the next five years to make all of their
:07:59. > :08:03.services more reliable. This is the first of many of those services. ?7
:08:04. > :08:11.million to improve those in specific tracks and signals. By renewing
:08:12. > :08:16.them, we reduce delays and improve the reliability of the service. The
:08:17. > :08:19.rail company is trying to keep passengers on the move while they do
:08:20. > :08:23.this work. Instead of having a bus replacement service, anyone
:08:24. > :08:28.travelling through Colchester station will need to change trains.
:08:29. > :08:32.Passengers tell us time and time again that when they have paid for a
:08:33. > :08:37.real ticket, they want to stay on the claim. This actually sounds
:08:38. > :08:40.quite simple but it is quite a breakthrough for the real way to
:08:41. > :08:46.keep things very Passenger Focus. Let's not forget that the investment
:08:47. > :08:49.in the railway has becoming more and more from passengers paying their
:08:50. > :08:56.affairs. That has to be targeted in the right way. Passenger Focus also
:08:57. > :09:00.slaves is needed in order to have a safe and reliable service but that
:09:01. > :09:04.it is important commuters are well`informed about changes their
:09:05. > :09:07.journey. They work in Colchester is one of many projects Network Rail
:09:08. > :09:11.are doing to meet the increasing passenger demand across the whole of
:09:12. > :09:14.our region. In the long run, we should get a better service but will
:09:15. > :09:18.have to put up with destruction that it brings.
:09:19. > :09:21.The Essex peer Lord Hanningfield has been banned from parliament
:09:22. > :09:25.The House of Lords voted on the ban today, following revelations
:09:26. > :09:28.that the former leader of Essex County Council had been signing
:09:29. > :09:31.in to claim his daily allowance and then going straight home.
:09:32. > :09:34.Andrew Sinclair was in the Lords for the announcement.
:09:35. > :09:47.No, he could have been there if he wanted to. He could have spoken in
:09:48. > :09:51.Hebron defence if he had wanted but chose to stay away. He missed the
:09:52. > :09:53.chairman of the House of Lords committee telling peers that this
:09:54. > :09:58.was the second time he had been found guilty of Miss claiming
:09:59. > :10:04.expenses. He said he had failed to act on his personal honour.
:10:05. > :10:06.Suspension until the end of this Parliament.
:10:07. > :10:08.It is the maximum sanction available to the house.
:10:09. > :10:11.We cannot suspend a member for longer without interfering with
:10:12. > :10:15.We believe the maximum sanction is justified in this case.
:10:16. > :10:17.Not least because this is not Lord Hanningfield's first offence.
:10:18. > :10:20.The question is that this motion be agreed to.
:10:21. > :10:25.As many as are all the opinion say content. Content!
:10:26. > :10:44.The decision was unanimous. He cannot even use the cafes or tea
:10:45. > :10:48.rooms. The bills are being tightened because of this case? Yes, he has
:10:49. > :10:53.also claimed that just because he comes here, even if he comes
:10:54. > :10:57.straight home, the real allow him to claim his daily allowance. Viewers
:10:58. > :11:01.were told that when you get here you're expected to do some work and
:11:02. > :11:05.so they were told that the expense forms will be changed to remind
:11:06. > :11:08.members of the House of Lords that when the page and a claim for
:11:09. > :11:10.expenses that they should finish the letter of the rules and the spirit
:11:11. > :11:13.of the rules. Thank you very much.

:11:17. > :11:20.Connor Barret, who lived in Great Yarmouth,
:11:21. > :11:23.died in hospital after being stabbed at the party in Hemsby.
:11:24. > :11:26.In a statement, his father said Connor was a loving, caring young
:11:27. > :11:31.Three teenagers are still being questioned.
:11:32. > :11:35.It has emerged that two pilots one from the RAF and one from the
:11:36. > :11:38.US Air Force had an argument over the skies of Norfolk.
:11:39. > :11:40.They were flying a Tornado fighter jet from Marham
:11:41. > :11:43.and an American Hercules plane from Mildenhall and got into
:11:44. > :11:49.The American complained the RAF jet was flying too close,
:11:50. > :11:53.according to the UK organisation which investigates near`misses.
:11:54. > :11:56.The report decided there should have been better co`ordination
:11:57. > :12:00.between the different forces but that both planes had the right
:12:01. > :12:20.Also coming up: , the crowds come out for the
:12:21. > :12:25.women's cycling tour, what does that mean for the Tour de France?
:12:26. > :12:29.And what you think would head through a tunnel like this? We will
:12:30. > :12:32.tell you more later in the programme.
:12:33. > :12:35.Cycling just seems to get more and more popular in this country.
:12:36. > :12:37.And last week's Women's Tour confirmed that
:12:38. > :12:41.if there's a big race in this region the crowds will turn out in force.
:12:42. > :12:44.I'm sure you know by now the most famous cycle race
:12:45. > :12:52.in the world will be coming to Britain for three days in July.
:12:53. > :12:55.It will spend two days in Yorkshire, before heading south to Cambridge
:12:56. > :12:59.The riders will go from there to Saffron Walden, then south towards
:13:00. > :13:03.After that it's due west towards the M11,
:13:04. > :13:20.The climax of the Women's To in Suffolk. These elite athletes have
:13:21. > :13:26.pedalled across the East. Brilliant showcase for the county.
:13:27. > :13:29.Demonstrating elite athletes and very positive messages about your
:13:30. > :13:34.health and well`being. We would hope that there will be serious interest
:13:35. > :13:39.in investing in the county on the basis of people seeing that this is
:13:40. > :13:41.a really great place to do business. The success of the women's to has
:13:42. > :13:52.really whetted the appetite for the big one, the Tour de France.
:13:53. > :13:56.Particularly in places in the route. Nobody is looking forward to it more
:13:57. > :14:02.veteran of the over 40s cycling club, gathering by the pond for an
:14:03. > :14:09.18 mile ride. You do not see it for very long. It was as past? We have
:14:10. > :14:14.got a plan. We are going to camp ourselves out. They have to slow
:14:15. > :14:21.down for a right turn. I have seen it many times in France. 25 years or
:14:22. > :14:27.so. Tuneful logo, one hopes not to message. We have been over to France
:14:28. > :14:31.to see it and it is fantastic. There is a whole convoy that comes through
:14:32. > :14:37.before, throwing sweets for the kids. It is fabulous, a great day
:14:38. > :14:42.out. We are looking forward to seeing all these cyclists you're in
:14:43. > :14:47.Essex. For the torch relay, we had 450,000 people greeting the torch. I
:14:48. > :14:53.would expect at least 500,000 people to cheer on the Raiders. We must not
:14:54. > :14:58.forget that tourism and hospitality is an industry. It contributes
:14:59. > :15:02.greatly to the Essex economy. It generates about ?3 billion per year
:15:03. > :15:06.and employs 55,000 people. That is 8% of the working population of
:15:07. > :15:11.Essex. It is very important that these events generate the interest.
:15:12. > :15:14.Meanwhile, thousands are volunteering to help out as the tour
:15:15. > :15:21.passes through. Among them, Linda from Essex. I am very excited about
:15:22. > :15:25.it. Obviously, it is the biggest and best cycleways in the world. In the
:15:26. > :15:28.few weeks, the stars of the tour rookie year. `` will be year.
:15:29. > :15:32.few weeks, the stars of the tour rookie year. `` will be year.
:15:33. > :15:34.Jonathan Park covered the Women's Tour for us last week.
:15:35. > :15:36.He'll lead our Tour de France coverage too.
:15:37. > :15:47.How many people can we expect? Two years ago, the Olympic torch relay
:15:48. > :15:53.attracted 120,000 people here in Cambridge. Organisers of the Tour de
:15:54. > :15:57.France are expecting a few more. I am actually at Kings College, in the
:15:58. > :16:01.centre of Cambridge, where the writers will come past in just 55
:16:02. > :16:05.days. Why is this such a big deal? The Tour de France is a huge
:16:06. > :16:09.international sporting event. Cycling in the UK is box office and
:16:10. > :16:13.of course the Tour de France is free, you do not need a ticket to
:16:14. > :16:17.watch it. I covered the two last week across the region and nobody
:16:18. > :16:24.quite knew how big a deal that would but the organisers, local
:16:25. > :16:28.councillors were simply blown away by people out and about on the
:16:29. > :16:32.routes. From old`age pensioners to thousands of schoolchildren. One
:16:33. > :16:37.director told me that the UK leads the way in women's cycle racing. The
:16:38. > :16:40.big day is of course coming. The one thing that we know from the Olympics
:16:41. > :16:45.is nobody quite knows how to organise until the last minute. That
:16:46. > :16:51.kind of thing. We know that there will be school closures, lots of
:16:52. > :16:54.road closures also. This is a big international sporting event. If you
:16:55. > :16:58.are a span of `` fan of sports and cycling, those inevitable delays and
:16:59. > :17:01.disruptions will be worth it. Thank you very much.
:17:02. > :17:05.Just over a week from now, the polls will open in the European elections.
:17:06. > :17:07.Although it is definitely not a direct vote on
:17:08. > :17:11.whether we should be in the EU, for lots of people "in" or "out"
:17:12. > :17:16.So much so that in Northamptonshire, two of the county's MPs are
:17:17. > :17:18.planning their own referendum asking that very question.
:17:19. > :17:21.We sent Neil Bradford to the market town of Wellingborough to
:17:22. > :17:33.We struggled a bit but eventually we set up stall in a busy part of town.
:17:34. > :17:35.We then invited the good people of Wellingborough
:17:36. > :17:38.to take part in our ping pong poll.
:17:39. > :17:43.No science, nothing official, just purely for fun.
:17:44. > :17:47.Our straw poll is just a random selection of views.
:17:48. > :17:52.The town's MP is planning a more formal approach to the question.
:17:53. > :17:55.Along with the MP for Kettering, he is holding a referendum
:17:56. > :18:03.It will be the biggest referendum on the EU since Wilson in 1975.
:18:04. > :18:07.250,000 people across North Hampshire will have
:18:08. > :18:11.a simple say on whether they want to be in or out of the EU.
:18:12. > :18:17.On Wellingborough's Market Street, our ping pong poll
:18:18. > :18:24.Do you want to take part in our EU straw poll?
:18:25. > :18:26.But perhaps we needed a jar for apathy.
:18:27. > :18:30.Do you want to take part in my poll? No, thank you.
:18:31. > :18:31.Are you sure? Yes.
:18:32. > :18:33.Can I interest you in my European poll?
:18:34. > :18:40.Nothing patience and a bit of flattery couldn't solve.
:18:41. > :18:43.What do I get for this? Is there a prize?
:18:44. > :18:46.No prize but you get to appear on BBC Look East.
:18:47. > :18:50.Oh, I don't know. What do I look like?
:18:51. > :18:59.There is no scientific basis to this, it is purely a straw poll.
:19:00. > :19:05.The Conservatives have promised a referendum in 2017 FT when the next
:19:06. > :19:10.general referendum. We were certainly sparking debate.
:19:11. > :19:14.There are some bad points about being in Europe, yes, there are. But
:19:15. > :19:24.if we could get those sorted, which I think we can, we should stay in.
:19:25. > :19:30.Out. We would do very well about it. There is no scientific basis.
:19:31. > :19:34.We have to do what they say and we do not agree with that.
:19:35. > :19:36.Realistically, I think we should probably stay in
:19:37. > :19:41.Opinion appeared evenly split in our random survey.
:19:42. > :19:44.starting the day after the European elections,
:19:45. > :19:53.there is still plenty of debate to come.
:19:54. > :19:56.The experts believe the number of hedgehogs in this country is
:19:57. > :20:04.Some think it could be by more than 30% over the last ten years.
:20:05. > :20:05.And that's why in Suffolk, they're launching
:20:06. > :20:09.a survey to try to establish how many are left in the wild.
:20:10. > :20:12.But how do you keep an eye on these elusive creatures?
:20:13. > :20:18.The countryside is changing in so many ways.
:20:19. > :20:20.Birds, bees and butterflies struggling.
:20:21. > :20:29.The humble hedgehog, also, is on the decline.
:20:30. > :20:34.For the work here at Prickles Hedgehog Rescue is vital.
:20:35. > :20:37.Last year, they took on more than 50 injured or abandoned hedgehogs.
:20:38. > :20:39.The majority are nursed back to health
:20:40. > :20:44.It is nice to see them go back to what they should be.
:20:45. > :20:49.We released four about two weeks ago in this beautiful estate and
:20:50. > :21:09.At the end of the day, a hedgehog is a gardener's friend.
:21:10. > :21:11.In Suffolk, there is minimal information
:21:12. > :21:14.about hedgehog numbers, which is why this new survey is vital.
:21:15. > :21:18.People can use tunnels like this to capture their tracks with ink.
:21:19. > :21:22.What we are trying to establish is where hedgehogs are in Suffolk.
:21:23. > :21:26.Where are the areas where they are not being seen?
:21:27. > :21:30.Are there particular locations where a number of years ago people were
:21:31. > :21:34.seeing them all of the time and then, all of a sudden, they are not?
:21:35. > :21:37.We are trying to build a better picture of the population
:21:38. > :21:48.Once they get the facts, they hope to draw up
:21:49. > :22:02.a targeted conservation plan to help the hedgehogs thrive and survive.
:22:03. > :22:09.There something very appealing about that.
:22:10. > :22:13.They are a cute, aren't they? It a bit prickly.
:22:14. > :22:21.We have had some very changeable weather. We have also had sunshine
:22:22. > :22:26.and downforce. This shows a funnel cloud that was spotted this
:22:27. > :22:32.afternoon. Much closer shot of the same funnel cloud thing in by Paul.
:22:33. > :22:36.Thank you very much for sending those in. It just shows the
:22:37. > :22:38.instability in the atmosphere through this afternoon. Actually,
:22:39. > :22:42.things are going to continue to settle down, when high pressure
:22:43. > :22:45.building them from the south`west. It will be right over the British
:22:46. > :22:49.Isles by the end of the week so it does look like a dry forecast for
:22:50. > :22:53.the end of the week. Much more settled, with some sunny spells.
:22:54. > :23:00.There will also be some chilly spells, starting with tonight. Let's
:23:01. > :23:03.have a quick look at the showers through this afternoon. They have
:23:04. > :23:08.been heading south eastwards. Some of them are really quite heavy. We
:23:09. > :23:13.are not done yet. There is still a line across the central sign of the
:23:14. > :23:17.region. For places like Norfolk and Suffolk, a fine end to the day.
:23:18. > :23:23.Elsewhere, you may catch a heavy downpour. The trend will be for them
:23:24. > :23:27.to fade away overnight. A lot of the night is looking dry. There will be
:23:28. > :23:30.some clear spells around and possibly be awed mist and fog packed
:23:31. > :23:37.and also we are likely to record chilly temperatures. Many of us
:23:38. > :23:40.recording 6 degrees in the cities. For rural spots, it could be a
:23:41. > :23:46.degree or two more. It is technically possible that in a frost
:23:47. > :23:53.prone sport, it could get low enough for a touch of ground frost. It is a
:23:54. > :23:58.chilly start to Wednesday but we should see sunshine in the morning.
:23:59. > :24:01.Clouds in the afternoon good judges showers but for many of us, a dry
:24:02. > :24:07.day. In the sunshine, temperatures claiming a bit. As for the
:24:08. > :24:11.afternoon, we have the isolated shower risk but for many of us, it
:24:12. > :24:16.is looking dry. Look at pressure for the end of the week. High as firmly
:24:17. > :24:21.anchored across the UK so that will promise some fine conditions and
:24:22. > :24:26.warmer weather. Temperatures are expected to claim into the weekend.
:24:27. > :24:30.There could be a little bit more cloud at times, particularly
:24:31. > :24:33.Thursday. We will see some sunshine through Thursday however.
:24:34. > :24:38.Temperatures claiming on Friday. Moving into the weekend, it is
:24:39. > :24:41.looking largely dry. There is a chance that things could turn on
:24:42. > :24:44.stables table so we might see some heavy downpours by the end of the
:24:45. > :24:48.day on Saturday. Still quite a long way out. It is getting a little bit
:24:49. > :24:51.chilly funnel full`length. Before we go, congratulations to
:24:52. > :24:54.our colleagues at BBC Radio Norfolk and Three Counties Radio,
:24:55. > :24:57.who both won awards last night. Radio Norfolk's news team scooped
