chilly. That's all from the BBC News at six

:00:00.:00:00.

so An inquest begins into the death of

:00:00.:00:00.

a mother after what her family say I am live at the airport after the

:00:00.:00:22.

plane behind me was involved in a full`scale emergency.

:00:23.:00:22.

In the cycling, what does the success of the Women's Tour mean for

:00:23.:00:26.

And how to help the hedgehog now its habitat is under threat.

:00:27.:00:44.

Norwich Airport declared a full emergency this afternoon,

:00:45.:00:47.

after the pilot of a Boeing 737 reported fumes in the cockpit.

:00:48.:00:56.

The incident happened this afternoon.

:00:57.:01:00.

Ten fire engines were drafted in as the KLM aircraft,

:01:01.:01:03.

flying from Manchester to Schiphol, landed safely with more than 100

:01:04.:01:06.

Our chief reporter Kim Riley is at the airport now.

:01:07.:01:13.

's I am just being deafened by a passing aircraft. They are

:01:14.:01:18.

describing this as a precautionary landing. The pilot was clearly

:01:19.:01:23.

worried. The plane diverted from its root. It landed safely at 2:37pm.

:01:24.:01:30.

There were more than ten fire engines on the ground waiting for

:01:31.:01:33.

it. Just after 3pm, the emergency was lifted.

:01:34.:01:36.

The Boeing 737 parked up on its stand after 108 passengers

:01:37.:01:39.

The pilot had reported an electrical fault and the smell

:01:40.:01:43.

It triggered a full`scale emergency plan.

:01:44.:01:47.

What happens is that the aircraft lands.

:01:48.:01:49.

Air traffic control then give the commission for the engines to

:01:50.:01:52.

escort the aircraft back to stand, as a precautionary measure.

:01:53.:01:56.

I can confirm the aircraft landed safely.

:01:57.:01:58.

The incident was terminated at about 3pm.

:01:59.:02:07.

After the landing, engineer Phil Hudson opted to fly home to

:02:08.:02:10.

Manchester rather than journeying on.

:02:11.:02:12.

When the door was opened, at the rear of the plane,

:02:13.:02:15.

Certainly much more noticeable after it had landed.

:02:16.:02:21.

So by that stage you were getting quite worried?

:02:22.:02:24.

We landed and it is just when you see all of the fire engines, that

:02:25.:02:37.

One of the firemen asked me if it was OK, did I smell the smoke.

:02:38.:02:43.

No panic? No panic.

:02:44.:02:50.

Engineers from KLM have been checking over the plane.

:02:51.:02:55.

Arrangements have been made for most passengers to go

:02:56.:02:58.

We heard from Richard Pace, the operations director there.

:02:59.:03:08.

We can speak to him now from the airport.

:03:09.:03:13.

First of all, how unusual is it for Norwich to have this kind of

:03:14.:03:24.

emergency landing? Good evening. We experience a diversion of this

:03:25.:03:28.

nature may be two or three times per year due to geographical location.

:03:29.:03:32.

Particularly if aircraft are travelling to UK air ports `` from

:03:33.:03:40.

UK airports to Amsterdam. Norwich Airport is usually the nearest

:03:41.:03:42.

location for an aircraft to divert to if it has a problem. Wii U this

:03:43.:03:49.

was a 77. That is not the type of plane you would normally have at

:03:50.:03:54.

this airport. Are there limits to the 10th of plane that? We do

:03:55.:04:00.

operate a 77 on a regular basis during the summer season. `` a

:04:01.:04:05.

Boeing 737. We are well used to handling this size and aircraft. We

:04:06.:04:12.

could handle up to 767 on occasion. These are enormous`aircraft during

:04:13.:04:17.

the summer holiday traffic. All went smoothly. What is the latest

:04:18.:04:22.

situation about what will happen to the passengers? I spoke to the duty

:04:23.:04:29.

stuff just before coming near to speak to you and when I last spoke

:04:30.:04:34.

to them, the airline has not yet made a decision whether the aircraft

:04:35.:04:38.

will be going this evening. What will happen if it does not go? There

:04:39.:04:44.

are various options. They can be put on any flight that is available from

:04:45.:04:48.

Norwich. They may be transported to other airports or may be transported

:04:49.:04:51.

to other airports or maybe offered overnight accommodation in the event

:04:52.:04:54.

that flight does not go again. Thank you very much.

:04:55.:04:58.

First tonight, the inquest into the death of a

:04:59.:05:00.

mother of six after what her family thought was "routine treatment".

:05:01.:05:03.

She and her family expected her to live a few more months when she was

:05:04.:05:24.

admitted to a hospice in Norwich, where she died in September 2012.

:05:25.:05:27.

She was taken there for symptom control

:05:28.:05:29.

The inquest heard how she had been sitting up, smiling

:05:30.:05:36.

Andrea West's mother said when she first saw her daughter

:05:37.:05:44.

in the hospice, she was a picture of health.

:05:45.:05:47.

Her face was a lovely colour following a blood transfusion.

:05:48.:05:51.

But she said the following day her daughter was

:05:52.:05:54.

near enough comatosed, drugged up so much she could hardly talk.

:05:55.:05:57.

Andrea West's sister told the hearing she became distant,

:05:58.:06:02.

incoherent and appeared to be heavily drugged.

:06:03.:06:04.

The coroner was told the family had asked staff

:06:05.:06:08.

at the hospice if Andrea was on the Liverpool care pathway.

:06:09.:06:12.

Andrea's family say she wanted to live as long as possible because

:06:13.:06:17.

Medical staff say her condition worsened.

:06:18.:06:22.

The coroner heard Mrs West and her relatives had reversed a decision

:06:23.:06:33.

The inquest heard how the doctor had obtained

:06:34.:06:36.

an agreement from Andrea West that she would not be resuscitated

:06:37.:06:39.

The solicitor for the family told her every witness had described how

:06:40.:06:43.

drowsy and sleepy Andrea West was and at times she was unresponsive.

:06:44.:06:47.

"I wonder whether you think it was appropriate to discuss not

:06:48.:06:49.

"resuscitating when she was drowsy and not able to speak."

:06:50.:06:53.

Doctor Grant agreed the patient was sleepy but said she

:06:54.:06:59.

was easily rousable and understood the questions on non`resuscitation.

:07:00.:07:01.

The solicitor continued, "did you ask if Andrea wanted her

:07:02.:07:05.

"They were due to arrive in two hours.

:07:06.:07:10.

"Do you normally have relatives present

:07:11.:07:15.

? Yes, she said. The inquest resumes tomorrow.

:07:16.:07:23.

This weekend, work will start on upgrading the signals and track

:07:24.:07:26.

It's costing ?7 million and Network Rail believes it will lead

:07:27.:07:30.

They are hoping to keep delays to a minimum and the work should be

:07:31.:07:35.

Ageing railway tracks at Colchester station will now be replaced.

:07:36.:07:44.

Network Rail is starting work on a ?7 million programme to upgrade the

:07:45.:07:50.

line. The aim is a more reliable service for commuters. We are

:07:51.:07:55.

spending ?2 billion over the next five years to make all of their

:07:56.:07:58.

services more reliable. This is the first of many of those services. ?7

:07:59.:08:03.

million to improve those in specific tracks and signals. By renewing

:08:04.:08:11.

them, we reduce delays and improve the reliability of the service. The

:08:12.:08:16.

rail company is trying to keep passengers on the move while they do

:08:17.:08:19.

this work. Instead of having a bus replacement service, anyone

:08:20.:08:23.

travelling through Colchester station will need to change trains.

:08:24.:08:28.

Passengers tell us time and time again that when they have paid for a

:08:29.:08:32.

real ticket, they want to stay on the claim. This actually sounds

:08:33.:08:37.

quite simple but it is quite a breakthrough for the real way to

:08:38.:08:40.

keep things very Passenger Focus. Let's not forget that the investment

:08:41.:08:46.

in the railway has becoming more and more from passengers paying their

:08:47.:08:49.

affairs. That has to be targeted in the right way. Passenger Focus also

:08:50.:08:56.

slaves is needed in order to have a safe and reliable service but that

:08:57.:09:00.

it is important commuters are well`informed about changes their

:09:01.:09:04.

journey. They work in Colchester is one of many projects Network Rail

:09:05.:09:07.

are doing to meet the increasing passenger demand across the whole of

:09:08.:09:11.

our region. In the long run, we should get a better service but will

:09:12.:09:14.

have to put up with destruction that it brings.

:09:15.:09:18.

The Essex peer Lord Hanningfield has been banned from parliament

:09:19.:09:21.

The House of Lords voted on the ban today, following revelations

:09:22.:09:25.

that the former leader of Essex County Council had been signing

:09:26.:09:28.

in to claim his daily allowance and then going straight home.

:09:29.:09:31.

Andrew Sinclair was in the Lords for the announcement.

:09:32.:09:34.

No, he could have been there if he wanted to. He could have spoken in

:09:35.:09:47.

Hebron defence if he had wanted but chose to stay away. He missed the

:09:48.:09:51.

chairman of the House of Lords committee telling peers that this

:09:52.:09:53.

was the second time he had been found guilty of Miss claiming

:09:54.:09:58.

expenses. He said he had failed to act on his personal honour.

:09:59.:10:04.

Suspension until the end of this Parliament.

:10:05.:10:06.

It is the maximum sanction available to the house.

:10:07.:10:08.

We cannot suspend a member for longer without interfering with

:10:09.:10:11.

We believe the maximum sanction is justified in this case.

:10:12.:10:15.

Not least because this is not Lord Hanningfield's first offence.

:10:16.:10:17.

The question is that this motion be agreed to.

:10:18.:10:20.

As many as are all the opinion say content. Content!

:10:21.:10:25.

The decision was unanimous. He cannot even use the cafes or tea

:10:26.:10:44.

rooms. The bills are being tightened because of this case? Yes, he has

:10:45.:10:48.

also claimed that just because he comes here, even if he comes

:10:49.:10:53.

straight home, the real allow him to claim his daily allowance. Viewers

:10:54.:10:57.

were told that when you get here you're expected to do some work and

:10:58.:11:01.

so they were told that the expense forms will be changed to remind

:11:02.:11:05.

members of the House of Lords that when the page and a claim for

:11:06.:11:08.

expenses that they should finish the letter of the rules and the spirit

:11:09.:11:10.

of the rules. Thank you very much.

:11:11.:11:13.

The family of a man killed during a party in Norfolk say

:11:14.:11:16.

Connor Barret, who lived in Great Yarmouth,

:11:17.:11:20.

died in hospital after being stabbed at the party in Hemsby.

:11:21.:11:23.

In a statement, his father said Connor was a loving, caring young

:11:24.:11:26.

Three teenagers are still being questioned.

:11:27.:11:31.

It has emerged that two pilots one from the RAF and one from the

:11:32.:11:35.

US Air Force had an argument over the skies of Norfolk.

:11:36.:11:38.

They were flying a Tornado fighter jet from Marham

:11:39.:11:40.

and an American Hercules plane from Mildenhall and got into

:11:41.:11:43.

The American complained the RAF jet was flying too close,

:11:44.:11:49.

according to the UK organisation which investigates near`misses.

:11:50.:11:53.

The report decided there should have been better co`ordination

:11:54.:11:56.

between the different forces but that both planes had the right

:11:57.:12:00.

Also coming up: , the crowds come out for the

:12:01.:12:20.

women's cycling tour, what does that mean for the Tour de France?

:12:21.:12:25.

And what you think would head through a tunnel like this? We will

:12:26.:12:29.

tell you more later in the programme.

:12:30.:12:32.

Cycling just seems to get more and more popular in this country.

:12:33.:12:35.

And last week's Women's Tour confirmed that

:12:36.:12:37.

if there's a big race in this region the crowds will turn out in force.

:12:38.:12:41.

I'm sure you know by now the most famous cycle race

:12:42.:12:44.

in the world will be coming to Britain for three days in July.

:12:45.:12:52.

It will spend two days in Yorkshire, before heading south to Cambridge

:12:53.:12:55.

The riders will go from there to Saffron Walden, then south towards

:12:56.:12:59.

After that it's due west towards the M11,

:13:00.:13:03.

The climax of the Women's To in Suffolk. These elite athletes have

:13:04.:13:20.

pedalled across the East. Brilliant showcase for the county.

:13:21.:13:26.

Demonstrating elite athletes and very positive messages about your

:13:27.:13:29.

health and well`being. We would hope that there will be serious interest

:13:30.:13:34.

in investing in the county on the basis of people seeing that this is

:13:35.:13:39.

a really great place to do business. The success of the women's to has

:13:40.:13:41.

really whetted the appetite for the big one, the Tour de France.

:13:42.:13:52.

Particularly in places in the route. Nobody is looking forward to it more

:13:53.:13:56.

veteran of the over 40s cycling club, gathering by the pond for an

:13:57.:14:02.

18 mile ride. You do not see it for very long. It was as past? We have

:14:03.:14:09.

got a plan. We are going to camp ourselves out. They have to slow

:14:10.:14:14.

down for a right turn. I have seen it many times in France. 25 years or

:14:15.:14:21.

so. Tuneful logo, one hopes not to message. We have been over to France

:14:22.:14:27.

to see it and it is fantastic. There is a whole convoy that comes through

:14:28.:14:31.

before, throwing sweets for the kids. It is fabulous, a great day

:14:32.:14:37.

out. We are looking forward to seeing all these cyclists you're in

:14:38.:14:42.

Essex. For the torch relay, we had 450,000 people greeting the torch. I

:14:43.:14:47.

would expect at least 500,000 people to cheer on the Raiders. We must not

:14:48.:14:53.

forget that tourism and hospitality is an industry. It contributes

:14:54.:14:58.

greatly to the Essex economy. It generates about ?3 billion per year

:14:59.:15:02.

and employs 55,000 people. That is 8% of the working population of

:15:03.:15:06.

Essex. It is very important that these events generate the interest.

:15:07.:15:11.

Meanwhile, thousands are volunteering to help out as the tour

:15:12.:15:14.

passes through. Among them, Linda from Essex. I am very excited about

:15:15.:15:21.

it. Obviously, it is the biggest and best cycleways in the world. In the

:15:22.:15:25.

few weeks, the stars of the tour rookie year. `` will be year.

:15:26.:15:28.

few weeks, the stars of the tour rookie year. `` will be year.

:15:29.:15:32.

Jonathan Park covered the Women's Tour for us last week.

:15:33.:15:34.

He'll lead our Tour de France coverage too.

:15:35.:15:36.

How many people can we expect? Two years ago, the Olympic torch relay

:15:37.:15:47.

attracted 120,000 people here in Cambridge. Organisers of the Tour de

:15:48.:15:53.

France are expecting a few more. I am actually at Kings College, in the

:15:54.:15:57.

centre of Cambridge, where the writers will come past in just 55

:15:58.:16:01.

days. Why is this such a big deal? The Tour de France is a huge

:16:02.:16:05.

international sporting event. Cycling in the UK is box office and

:16:06.:16:09.

of course the Tour de France is free, you do not need a ticket to

:16:10.:16:13.

watch it. I covered the two last week across the region and nobody

:16:14.:16:17.

quite knew how big a deal that would but the organisers, local

:16:18.:16:24.

councillors were simply blown away by people out and about on the

:16:25.:16:28.

routes. From old`age pensioners to thousands of schoolchildren. One

:16:29.:16:32.

director told me that the UK leads the way in women's cycle racing. The

:16:33.:16:37.

big day is of course coming. The one thing that we know from the Olympics

:16:38.:16:40.

is nobody quite knows how to organise until the last minute. That

:16:41.:16:45.

kind of thing. We know that there will be school closures, lots of

:16:46.:16:51.

road closures also. This is a big international sporting event. If you

:16:52.:16:54.

are a span of `` fan of sports and cycling, those inevitable delays and

:16:55.:16:58.

disruptions will be worth it. Thank you very much.

:16:59.:17:01.

Just over a week from now, the polls will open in the European elections.

:17:02.:17:05.

Although it is definitely not a direct vote on

:17:06.:17:07.

whether we should be in the EU, for lots of people "in" or "out"

:17:08.:17:11.

So much so that in Northamptonshire, two of the county's MPs are

:17:12.:17:16.

planning their own referendum asking that very question.

:17:17.:17:18.

We sent Neil Bradford to the market town of Wellingborough to

:17:19.:17:21.

We struggled a bit but eventually we set up stall in a busy part of town.

:17:22.:17:33.

We then invited the good people of Wellingborough

:17:34.:17:35.

to take part in our ping pong poll.

:17:36.:17:38.

No science, nothing official, just purely for fun.

:17:39.:17:43.

Our straw poll is just a random selection of views.

:17:44.:17:47.

The town's MP is planning a more formal approach to the question.

:17:48.:17:52.

Along with the MP for Kettering, he is holding a referendum

:17:53.:17:55.

It will be the biggest referendum on the EU since Wilson in 1975.

:17:56.:18:03.

250,000 people across North Hampshire will have

:18:04.:18:07.

a simple say on whether they want to be in or out of the EU.

:18:08.:18:11.

On Wellingborough's Market Street, our ping pong poll

:18:12.:18:17.

Do you want to take part in our EU straw poll?

:18:18.:18:24.

But perhaps we needed a jar for apathy.

:18:25.:18:26.

Do you want to take part in my poll? No, thank you.

:18:27.:18:30.

Are you sure? Yes.

:18:31.:18:31.

Can I interest you in my European poll?

:18:32.:18:33.

Nothing patience and a bit of flattery couldn't solve.

:18:34.:18:40.

What do I get for this? Is there a prize?

:18:41.:18:43.

No prize but you get to appear on BBC Look East.

:18:44.:18:46.

Oh, I don't know. What do I look like?

:18:47.:18:50.

There is no scientific basis to this, it is purely a straw poll.

:18:51.:18:59.

The Conservatives have promised a referendum in 2017 FT when the next

:19:00.:19:05.

general referendum. We were certainly sparking debate.

:19:06.:19:10.

There are some bad points about being in Europe, yes, there are. But

:19:11.:19:14.

if we could get those sorted, which I think we can, we should stay in.

:19:15.:19:24.

Out. We would do very well about it. There is no scientific basis.

:19:25.:19:30.

We have to do what they say and we do not agree with that.

:19:31.:19:34.

Realistically, I think we should probably stay in

:19:35.:19:36.

Opinion appeared evenly split in our random survey.

:19:37.:19:41.

starting the day after the European elections,

:19:42.:19:44.

there is still plenty of debate to come.

:19:45.:19:53.

The experts believe the number of hedgehogs in this country is

:19:54.:19:56.

Some think it could be by more than 30% over the last ten years.

:19:57.:20:04.

And that's why in Suffolk, they're launching

:20:05.:20:05.

a survey to try to establish how many are left in the wild.

:20:06.:20:09.

But how do you keep an eye on these elusive creatures?

:20:10.:20:12.

The countryside is changing in so many ways.

:20:13.:20:18.

Birds, bees and butterflies struggling.

:20:19.:20:20.

The humble hedgehog, also, is on the decline.

:20:21.:20:29.

For the work here at Prickles Hedgehog Rescue is vital.

:20:30.:20:34.

Last year, they took on more than 50 injured or abandoned hedgehogs.

:20:35.:20:37.

The majority are nursed back to health

:20:38.:20:39.

It is nice to see them go back to what they should be.

:20:40.:20:44.

We released four about two weeks ago in this beautiful estate and

:20:45.:20:49.

At the end of the day, a hedgehog is a gardener's friend.

:20:50.:21:09.

In Suffolk, there is minimal information

:21:10.:21:11.

about hedgehog numbers, which is why this new survey is vital.

:21:12.:21:14.

People can use tunnels like this to capture their tracks with ink.

:21:15.:21:18.

What we are trying to establish is where hedgehogs are in Suffolk.

:21:19.:21:22.

Where are the areas where they are not being seen?

:21:23.:21:26.

Are there particular locations where a number of years ago people were

:21:27.:21:30.

seeing them all of the time and then, all of a sudden, they are not?

:21:31.:21:34.

We are trying to build a better picture of the population

:21:35.:21:37.

Once they get the facts, they hope to draw up

There something very appealing about that.

:22:03.:22:09.

They are a cute, aren't they? It a bit prickly.

:22:10.:22:13.

We have had some very changeable weather. We have also had sunshine

and downforce. This shows a funnel cloud that was spotted this

:22:22.:22:26.

afternoon. Much closer shot of the same funnel cloud thing in by Paul.

Thank you very much for sending those in. It just shows the

:22:33.:22:36.

instability in the atmosphere through this afternoon. Actually,

things are going to continue to settle down, when high pressure

:22:43.:22:45.

Isles by the end of the week so it does look like a dry forecast for

:22:46.:22:49.

the end of the week. Much more settled, with some sunny spells.

:22:50.:22:53.

There will also be some chilly spells, starting with tonight. Let's

:22:54.:23:00.

have a quick look at the showers through this afternoon. They have

:23:01.:23:03.

been heading south eastwards. Some of them are really quite heavy. We

are not done yet. There is still a line across the central sign of the

:23:09.:23:13.

region. For places like Norfolk and Suffolk, a fine end to the day.

:23:14.:23:17.

Elsewhere, you may catch a heavy downpour. The trend will be for them

:23:18.:23:23.

to fade away overnight. A lot of the night is looking dry. There will be

:23:24.:23:27.

some clear spells around and possibly be awed mist and fog packed

and also we are likely to record chilly temperatures. Many of us

recording 6 degrees in the cities. For rural spots, it could be a

degree or two more. It is technically possible that in a frost

prone sport, it could get low enough for a touch of ground frost. It is a

:23:47.:23:53.

chilly start to Wednesday but we should see sunshine in the morning.

:23:54.:23:58.

Clouds in the afternoon good judges showers but for many of us, a dry

:23:59.:24:01.

day. In the sunshine, temperatures claiming a bit. As for the

:24:02.:24:07.

afternoon, we have the isolated shower risk but for many of us, it

:24:08.:24:11.

is looking dry. Look at pressure for the end of the week. High as firmly

:24:17.:24:21.

warmer weather. Temperatures are expected to claim into the weekend.

:24:22.:24:26.

There could be a little bit more cloud at times, particularly

:24:27.:24:30.

Thursday. We will see some sunshine through Thursday however.

:24:31.:24:33.

Temperatures claiming on Friday. Moving into the weekend, it is

looking largely dry. There is a chance that things could turn on

:24:42.:24:44.

day on Saturday. Still quite a long way out. It is getting a little bit

chilly funnel full`length. Before we go, congratulations to

our colleagues at BBC Radio Norfolk and Three Counties Radio,

:25:06.:25:18.

Congratulations. He has won two awards this year. You will have your

:25:19.:25:22.

shorts on? Yes, get my legs out! That is all

:25:23.:25:25.

from us. Good evening. Can I make something clear to you?
