First tonight, another breakthrough in the hunt for the murderer

The biplane from the back of beyond The biplane from the back of beyond

getting ready for a starring role. First tonight, another breakthrough

in the hunt for the murderer Johanna disappeared from her home

at Watton in Norfolk Three days later, on Boxing Day,

her body was found face down in a water`filled pit at the end

of a muddy lane. Despite a massive police

investigation, nobody has ever But in recent months

a cold case review appears to have And today details

of another breakthrough. Watton has been a town looking

for answers. But nobody wants them more

than Johanna Young's family. They made this appeal last

December, with information that may help

the police. And, you know, to find out who

actually did murder Johanna. Since that appeal, the investigation

into Johanna's death has made real progress, leading to

the arrests Today, detectives highlighted

three points of enquiry. They looked again

at a witness statement from 1993, from a dog walker who saw

a young woman and young man on a motor bike at the entrance to

the lane where her body was found. And there is an anonymous note,

written in 1993 and passed to officers then, which

now could be very significant. This is Griston Road

and the note simply says, it shows a drawing

of a motorbike and stick figures Detectives say this note led

indirectly to the arrests And in recent weeks,

another man has come forward The man was in his 20s

at the time and stopped somewhere near here, on the road out

of Watton, opposite the old RAF base to pick up a young man who looked

distressed and dishevelled. He drove him about one mile in that

direction to a nearby village and he That had to be pinpointed

by detectives using weather records Already, the relaunch of the Johanna

Young murder inquiry has brought more calls with information than any

other investigation. But with two men on bail, detectives

say they still want more. The inquiry is being led

by Detective Inspector Marie James. Earlier today she told me more

about this new information. As a result of our anniversary

appeal, a witness has come forward He has come forward with information

that he held for 21 years, that he was with

a friend driving out of Watton on that evening, a foggy night,

towards Scoulton. When late in the evening

they picked up a male who was slightly

dishevelled, He was a white male wearing

a hooded top. I don't know the identity

of that male. I don't know the significance

of that sighting or what that male Again, I am very keen

for him to come forward and speak to us because he may hold

vital information to this inquiry. Why is it, do you think,

that it has taken so long I cannot say why it has taken

so long I think, in 1992, the witnesses were

teenagers themselves and perhaps did not realise the significance

and severity of this case. They probably did not realise the

significance of their information. 21 years on, these witnesses are now

in their 40s, perhaps have children of their

own of a similar age to Johanna. They have kept this information to

themselves for 21 years and have come forward now, realise that it

is for the police to determine the Do you think you are any closer to

finding out exactly what happened Yes, I think with the work we are

conducting, with the review of the investigation, with further

witnesses coming forward with information, the picture is clearer

as to what happened to Johanna. We just need that key piece

of information now to solve the whole case and provide

the answers to the family, as to We still do not know why this has

happened to a 14`year`old local girl in Watton, who was quite

clearly robbed of her life. We do not know the reasons

for that. At that time, the police said

somebody locally will have Do you believe there is still

somebody who needs to contact you? I would once again ask people, local

people, to look to their conscience. Whether they have held onto

information for 21 years, please come forward

and provide the information to That may be the key to solving the

mystery Detective Inspector,

thank you very much. Dozens of lollipop patrols

which were under threat in Essex There was an outcry when

the county council announced a plan For seven years,

lollipop lady Sheila has been making sure children in Colchester make it

to school safely. She saves lives, in my opinion,

because children don't necessarily, on their bikes, scooters and phones,

they are not paying attention. And they could quite

easily get knocked over. My son loves running

along to see her. She is one of our local characters,

definitely. We must keep her.

Very important. But it looked

like Sheila was going to go when it was announced school crossing

patrols in Essex were under review. To save money, Essex County Council

was thinking of getting rid of 55 school crossing patrols where

there are already The patrols on pelican crossings

will go but the ones where there are zebra crossings will

now stay, like this one. And at a nearby school, where

a baking day was raising money for charity, news of Sheila's reprieve

was welcomed by the headteacher. Lollipop ladies are an integral

part of our school community. They provide the security

for parents to allow their children Really pleased that the council

have made a U`turn on this. You won't get one of these

unless you have had some kind of accident or there is

a perceived threat from traffic. I've brought my son to school

at the moment but in a couple of years, he will be walking to school

himself and I don't want him Axing petrols at zebra and pelican

crossings would have saved But a spokesman said

the council's financial position has improved since the review was

announced and the patrols at zebra crossings were staying

because of public demand. There's still uncertainty tonight

over the appointment Ten days ago, the club's chief

executive told the BBC that Chris Hughton's permanent successor

would be named "within a week". Our sports reporter

Tom Williams is here. Alawite has a long time in football.

Clearly not long enough for Norwich to appoint a new manager. It was on

the 11th of May that the chief executive said they were looking to

have somebody in place in a week. That deadline passed on Sunday. We

were bracing ourselves for an appointment last week. The latest

word, as I understand it, is that they think it will be days, not

weeks. Who is the favourite? Protecting these appointments is not

an exact science. It is quite complex. Norwich are not the only

club looking to appoint a new manager. It may well be that they

are having to look for another club or manager to make a decision before

Norwich can act. The odds have shortened on Malky Mackay, who was

at Cardiff. He was tipped as a possible replacement at West Ham and

for me he ticks the quite significant boxes. He is available

after settling a legal dispute with Cardiff. He has a Norwich

connection. Most significant of all, he knows exactly what it takes to

get a side out from championship to the top flight, as he did with

Cardiff. Other names? There are plenty. Adams, who was in interim

charge last season. From what I gather, it is more likely he would

be appointed as a coach. Neil Lennon, the Celtic box. Although she

would be sacrificing champions that ball and taking a step down to the

second tier of English football. Many others. They have to make an

appointment quite quickly. The new season starts on the 9th of August

and there is a World Cup in between. A man has been arrested

near Ongar just before 1:30 Cars and lorries

towards them, heading north. 50 miles later it crashed into

a lorry on the A14 near Huntingdon. The Government has refused to give

a shirt on a hanger but now her daughter has helped

understanding the problems. After a long election campaign,

today is the final day on the road And two of the party leaders chose

to spend the day here in the East. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has

been in Milton Keynes and Bedford and Natalie Bennett the leader of

the Greens has been in Cambridge. With the details

and his assessment of the campaign as a whole here's our political

correspondent Andrew Sinclair. This was the day that Labour proved

that it can organise a booze up After yesterday,

when he forgot the name of a local councillor, Ed Miliband

seemed much happier today talking about the cost of living with staff

and apprentices at this brewery. An hour earlier, he had been doing

the same thing at the All part of a nationwide

last`minute push for votes. I think people should vote

for Labour tomorrow to make a real difference,

tackle the cost of living crisis and let's get our country working

again for working people. A lot of talk

about people being switched off By showing them that real

change is possible. A lot of the focus on this election

has been on how well UKIP will do. If any party needs to do well

this year, it is Labour. This time next year,

he would like to be Prime Minister. To show that they are

on course to do that, Labour need a strong showing tomorrow,

not just here in Milton Keynes, in other Labour strongholds like

Cambridge, Norwich, Great Yarmouth. Opinion is divided over

whether last`minute election visits are a sign of desperation or

growing confidence. On Monday, the Prime Minister

dropped into Harlow, where his party If he can make gains here,

or anywhere else, it will be a sign Feeling very confident,

the leader of the Green party. Her party expects to pick up

a lot of the protest vote. There is obviously a lot

of disgruntled Lib Dem voters with tuition fees, nuclear power,

nuclear weapons. There is also a lot of former Labour

voters who find that Labour is just way too wishy`washy

and close to the Tories. And there are ex`Tory voters who

feel strongly on the issue On the doorstep and

on the radio phone ins, it has been clear that there is

a lot of voter dissatisfaction with UKIP is hoping to be

the main beneficiary. People have been coming up

on the street who have not voted for 15 or 20 years saying, "Thank

you, you have given us a choice. "You have put those choices on the

ballot paper that we believe in." I think we have helped to

reenergise British democracy. The Lib Dems know these

elections will be tough but hope I think it is a tremendously

important time for Europe and We have a chance to define

the kind of place we are. And after six weeks

of campaigning, there is nothing Well, the polls open at seven and

in some areas you'll be presented Our chief reporter Kim

Riley is here to explain. There is some confusion about these

elections. Essentially, two separate contests with two separate voting

systems. First, the local elections. Voting taking place at 347 seats in

20 council area. It is a long list. Take a quick look.

Currently, the Conservative hold 12 of those councils. Labour have five

and three are in no overall control. With these contests, it is the

traditional first past the post system. He or she who gets the most

votes wins the seat. The other is for seats in the European

Parliament. 70 candidates competing for seven places. This voting

system, proportional representation, parties gain seats according to the

share of the vote they received. I have got it here. The voting slip

looks rather like this. This is a mock`up but the real ones are under

lock and key. This is what you get. You get a list of ten political

parties, not candidates. You have one cross to put in the boxes

alongside that. Five years ago, the breakdown was the Conservative any

peace, two UKIP, one Labour and one Lib Dem. 14 councils will be

counting overnight. Six will start work on Friday morning. We should

have the full results by Freddie's evening show. As most of Europe is

voting at the weekend, we will not know until after 10pm on Sunday day.

If you live in Northamptonshire, you will be electing any peas for the

East Midlands. If you are in Malton Keynes, or the south east. Whenever

you love, Paul's open tomorrow at seven and close at 10pm.

Thank you very much. If somebody

in your family has dementia you will know how difficult it is to put

yourself in their shoes. But now a company

from Essex is trying to change all Nikki Fox has been to visit

a woman who's using the equipment to help her understand

her mother's condition. Will that do? I never thought about

that. It is remarkable. Mary looks after her mother, who has

Alzheimer's. Simple daily tasks have now become our Jewish and

understanding the disease is difficult. Because each day is

different, you find some `` you think some of it might be put on or

forced or laziness. `` tasks have become difficult. How do you feel

about this equipment and putting yourself in your mother's position?

I am fascinated. I cannot imagine what it is like in her mind.

To improve understanding, a company from Essex runs a training

programme. It uses glasses to limited vision and colour contrast.

Gloves to mimic loss of motor skills. Headphones to simulate

amplified background noise. Once in the room, Mary is given

instructions. Find the white shirt and put it on. Write a note to your

family. I cannot hear you. It works immediately. How many pairs of

socks? Tablecloths. Fox! Roll them together. Set the table for tea?

There is no table. There is used to train agencies from the fire service

to residential homes. It has been eye opening The debrief told us we

had shown signs of dementia. Went Mary left the room, you became very

stagnant. You didn't talk to anybody, you just looked a little

bit anxious. I know that room, I have been in it every day. But

finding as though I could not find my way around. There were other

noises, it was dark. I felt out of control. To feel that you are in the

situation, that is what has changed. The big ones are in the care homes

were staff are continuously saying how little they were aware, even

people in the NHS with 30 years of experience. They continuously say

they did not understand until now. Kate's condition changes every day

and no training can simulate memory loss. If people can empathise, they

can help. I have been a district nurse for 30 odd years. I have been

looking after people in their own homes. Telling them how to look

after themselves. Sadly I cannot remember which day of the week it is

or which your ages. I think people should be educated about more. `` or

which your ages. You do not know whether it will happen to you or

not. Is that not interesting?

Very clever idea. And on BBC Radio Norfolk tomorrow

morning, Nick Conrad will be speaking to the author and TV

presenter Sally Magnusson about her They've worked on it every day

since Christmas. And this morning it was revealed

in all its glory. Two men from Norfolk have built

a First World War fighter plane 100 years ago the SE`5A ruled

the skies over Flanders. But this replica was

never meant to fly. It will now be used by

English Heritage to mark Scout experimental five, model A. It

was the weapon of choice for British pilots. This nonflying replica is a

faithful reproduction building a small Norfolk workshop. It has been

a labour of love for great War expert and a challenge for his

elder. We have had good and bad luck elder. We have had good and bad luck

but mainly everybody has been very helpful. Once you tell them what

you're doing, they all get involved. The boy helping with welding and

starting materials. We had some nice wood. We have been using cash and

that is lovely to work with. What you have God in the near graphic

which was capable of 130 mph. It could climb to 20,000 feet and could

dive without the wings falling off, a track that not all German aircraft

could do. It would have been a common sight. It is six metres long

and eight metres wide. Five months it has taken. When the month in the

garden, creating a little bit of history. Although some of it looks

not quite neat, that is how they did it. They flew out of Norwich and a

drums in Essex on their way to fight like dogs against enemies over

Flanders. According to Stephen, they were the bravest of the brave. You

were sitting just behind the fuel tank, perfectly capable of exploding

and burning you to death. They did not carry parachutes but pistols to

defend themselves on the ground if they came down. Also to shoot

themselves if they caught fire. We did not want it to look like a

model. I think it actually looks like a real one and now looks

amazing. It is about the best thing I have ever made in my life and I

have made some good stuff! After finishing touches, it leaves for

Bedfordshire tomorrow for a World War I weekend. Before it does, the

builders says he made just sit in the cockpit.

I bet he has made some good stuff! 's and I think he is right to be

very proud. There was a bit of uncertainty last

night and the weather is shunted a little bit further eastwards this

morning. What that thing is that the rain that was destined for the East,

most of it stayed out in the North Sea. Through the afternoon, cloud

has come everywhere. We have seen some rain but there is plenty more

to come. It is becoming widespread. The green indicates that some will

be heavy, possibly with thunder. We are expecting some torrential

downpours and places. It should move through fairly quickly. By about

5am, much of it will have cleared away if all goes to plan.

Temperatures tonight, most of us staying in double figures. The

weapons are becoming quite squally during the torrential downpours. ``

the winds. The weather front pulls away to the North tomorrow and that

will take the rest of the rain with it. Low pressure is very close by.

That means we are going to see some showers. That rain should be gone by

about 80 M. Even from the north`west. We are left with some

dry weather with some bright and sunny spells. `` about eight in the

morning. There is a greater risk through the day of the union heavy

and thundery showers. Large amounts of rain in a short amount of time.

Temperatures at their highest, in the best of the sunshine, up to

around 20 Celsius. The winds are moderate throughout the day. As we

head into the evening, further showers and the yellow is indicating

that some will be heavy and possibly have thunder. With the overnight

rain and heavy showers around, there is a yellow warning in place from

the Met Office for heavy rain. We could see over the next 24 hours 30

Ivan 35mm is offering in some places, an inch. `` 30`35. As we run

up to the Bank Holiday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, low pressure

systems always very nearby. The exact position unclear but it looks

as though they will produce showers on all three days. Some days seeing

more than others. Hopefully some dry weather and sunshine in between the

showers. If you do the rain it could be heavy and on Saturday the greater

risk of them turning thundery. Temperature is a little closer to

average. Just before I go, there are your overnight lows.

Thank you very much. That is what I call a Bank Holiday

forecast! See you tomorrow. Goodbye.
