Hello. at 11pm, now on BBC One it's time

The mother of the missing airman Corrie Mckeague

has been hosting a Facebook discussion about her son.

He went missing three months ago after a night

3,000 people took part in the question and answer session

with Nicola Urquart, Corrie's mother.

They included questions about his private life.

Our chief reporter Kim Riley followed the discussion.

One of the last images of Corrie on CCTV.

In her Facebook broadcast, his mother voiced her

frustration that she hadn't been allowed to see all

"Can I see all the CCTV footage of Corrie?"

And I've been told, yes, that I will be allowed to see it.

I keep being told, yes, I can see it, but never actually

More than 75,000 people have followed developments on

Questions last night about his lifestyle and sexuality.

Corrie is not so much of a social butterfly,

more of a social hand grenade who was on every dating site

Corrie will make choices and decisions that

are sometimes reckless, that other people might not.

Would he get in a stranger's car? Yes.

Would he go to a stranger's house

That he's met on a social dating site?

Does he know that he definitely knows who will be behind that door?

Does he like that attention? Yes.

This is her signing off after 90 minutes of answering questions.

I will get Corrie home, I will find him.

Hopefully, we will do it with the help of the police.

Lastly, without getting emotional, I certainly can't do it without you.

The family are hoping their appeals on

social media can bring forward the day they finally get answers

A vigil is being held in Essex this evening

to remember two teenagers who died in a car crash.

Reegan Knight and Liam Phillips, who were both 17,

were in a car which crashed while it was being followed by the police.

A 16-year-old has been charged with causing death

The vigil is on the beach in Leigh-on-Sea

The police say there has been a big increase in shoplifting in high

streets across the country this Christmas

On patrol with Paul Freeman in Peterborough.

As shops record one of their busiest seasons ever, police

step up their campaign against the shoplifter.

Since the beginning of the month we've started to bring in extra

controls around Queensgate Shopping Centre, patrolling on foot,

interacting with retailers and speaking to general members of the

The key to trying to crack retail crime is high police visibility.

They also work with the City Shop Watch scheme where retailers

pass on information, noticing new ways

The big thing for us at the moment is fraudulent

refunding because remember, there are also different types of theft.

It doesn't mean somebody can come into

Someone could come into the store and damage the stock and then take

it to the till for a cash refund, for example.

We get people coming in from London, Leicester, Birmingham

Professional gangs come into Peterborough to

It is about passing intelligence, speaking to the

retailers and trying to find out who these perpetrators are.

Police here insist they are not complacent and

will continue to keep vigilant in the fight against retail crime.

A male model has swapped the catwalk this Christmas

to appear in the circus in Great Yarmouth.

Tom Gaskin works for top fashion houses like Gucci

and Steve McQueen but he turned them down

He's no stranger the spotlight as a performer and as a model but this

Christmas he's put the modelling on hold so he can take

part in the Hippodrome's big festive production.

I've been working in Milan, Paris, around the world.

And this time around it would be Fashion Week in

around a week's time and I was potentially going to Milan

to do the Gucci show again, which was flattering

that they wanted me back, but I'm here this Christmas working

Tom has worked his way up the circus ladder,

from spotlight operator and ring boy to what they call a

It is like classical juggling, kind of like Edwardian or

I came across it when I was studying and I

I was into the comedy so it really caught my eye.

My uncle on my dad's side was a circus clown and he

actually performed here before I was born so I guess it's in my blood,

Tom is part of a double act and works alongside

This year is in fact, I would say, our biggest one ever.

We've got acts from all over the world, we've got

the globe of death motorbike stunt riders, amazing acrobats, dancers,

swimmers and of course myself and Tom doing

all of the comedy and the story, which weaves in and out of it.

The reason Tom's here is because, in my opinion,

as a juggler and certainly as a comedic performer he is a true

His ability with silent comedy is almost from a

Tom says the Hippodrome is almost like his second

home and in the future he hopes to continue

juggling with his passions - performing at the circus and walking

I think that's a cracking trick. Time for the weather.

We got down to -6.6 in Essex yesterday. We have some photos taken

in Suffolk and Norfolk. This chilly weather is going to continue for

another couple of days with high-pressure keeping things

settled. We have a weather French to the north, bringing rain by New

Year's Day. A shift in weather pattern by the start of next year.

Tonight a similar pattern to last night with extensive freezing fog

patches developing, causing issues on the road with risk of ice on and

treated surfaces. Those temperatures falling away. Here are the values in

towns and cities. It could go lower. Around -3 Celsius in those frost

prone sports. Starting tomorrow with a widespread frost and mist and fog

patches. Lifting into low-level cloud and some of that mist and fog

could linger for some of the day but a cloudy day with some brightness. A

cloudy picture through the day tomorrow with four or five Celsius

the high. As we get to the New Year we have this weather front coming

down from the north and it is a cold front, introducing rain. It will

weaken as it heads southwards but will also introduce a cold northerly

wind to the start of 2017. We still have some chilly cloudy weather

before then. The rain on Sunday and the cold start on Monday. See you

again tomorrow. From all of us, goodbye.

Temperatures have dropped away shortly and we have
