:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, welcome to a new week on Look East.
:00:00. > :00:00.On Monday's programme: Sacked after eight months in charge -
:00:00. > :00:08.the Cobblers manager gets the boot after a run of defeats
:00:09. > :00:13.Forced to share her ambulance with a dog.
:00:14. > :00:15.Paramedics apologise to an 86-year-old after picking up
:00:16. > :00:29.And will we see snow? I'll have all the details in the weather.
:00:30. > :00:33.The hunt for a new manager for Northampton Town is on.
:00:34. > :00:35.Rob Page was sacked today after the team's 5-0 drubbing
:00:36. > :00:38.at Bristol Rovers at the weekend - which he controversially described
:00:39. > :00:44.It was, though, the Cobblers' eighth loss in ten games,
:00:45. > :00:49.Another seat needs filling at Sixfields -
:00:50. > :00:53.this time it's the manager's, Rob Page lasting just eight months.
:00:54. > :00:56.The Cobblers, who are 16th in League 1, were humiliated
:00:57. > :01:00.at Bristol on Saturday - 4-0 down after 25 minutes,
:01:01. > :01:06.The pressure telling in this post-match interview.
:01:07. > :01:09.Actions speak louder than words, and I thought it was men
:01:10. > :01:14.Not boys - it was men against girls and that - that is -
:01:15. > :01:17.His comments didn't cause his sacking,
:01:18. > :01:24.He was very angry about the way the players had let him down
:01:25. > :01:26.and he tried to find the appropriate way to describe that particular
:01:27. > :01:29.disappointment and he came up with completely the wrong kind
:01:30. > :01:35.of comparison - the wrong kind of versus, if you like.
:01:36. > :01:44.I don't think it was a reason why he lost his job -
:01:45. > :01:48.that's to do with the form of the team.
:01:49. > :01:51.It's all sad to see someone lose their job but I think
:01:52. > :01:54.it was inevitable with the way the performances have been
:01:55. > :02:01.It's been going downhill, and Saturday was...well, woeful.
:02:02. > :02:04.The writing's been on the wall for Rob Page these last few weeks,
:02:05. > :02:06.and chairman Kelvin Thomas pretty much alluded to that
:02:07. > :02:11.The pressure to be manager in this dugout has been intense -
:02:12. > :02:13.particularly when you consider the success of last season
:02:14. > :02:18.It was always going to be hard for Page to follow
:02:19. > :02:21.Had he had more time, he might have achieved it.
:02:22. > :02:24.He was too quick, maybe, to dismantle the side from last
:02:25. > :02:31.This club has, frankly, had enough drama to last a lifetime.
:02:32. > :02:34.The club aren't in a relegation battle just yet.
:02:35. > :02:37.This sacking is supposed to stop the rot.
:02:38. > :02:39.Rob Page was supposed to offer consolidation, not another
:02:40. > :02:49.Staying with football, and Cambridge United are out
:02:50. > :02:52.of the FA Cup after a 2-1 home loss to Leeds United.
:02:53. > :03:04.Tom, a big disappointment for fans who braved the rain there tonight?
:03:05. > :03:10.Yes, they did. An entertaining cup tie. 45 minutes looked like a giant
:03:11. > :03:14.killing was on. You barely would have known there were two divisions
:03:15. > :03:19.between the two sides. Cambridge United from League 2 dominated early
:03:20. > :03:23.on and took a deserved lead. Uche Ikpeazu with a goal. The ball came
:03:24. > :03:29.to him after a free kick. He blasted it in at the near post and great
:03:30. > :03:32.celebrations. For all Cambridge's determination, they didn't get the
:03:33. > :03:38.second goal. The championship side punished them early in the
:03:39. > :03:42.second-half. Stuart Dallas meet 1-1 and a decisive second full squad.
:03:43. > :03:47.2-1 to Leeds, but the rich fans enjoyed it. The first 20, 30
:03:48. > :03:52.minutes, it will all Cambridge, brilliant. Did you think the upset
:03:53. > :04:00.was on? It could have been. Definitely a game of two halves.
:04:01. > :04:04.Uche held up really well. A totally different game. Lead study to them
:04:05. > :04:11.in the second half and Cambridge couldn't stay with it. With me this
:04:12. > :04:13.the chief executive of Cambridge. You pushed them so close. A
:04:14. > :04:18.disappointing night tonight the club disappointing night tonight the club
:04:19. > :04:21.can be proud of. The first half, the players were outstanding, the cloud
:04:22. > :04:27.with outstanding, a full house. We pushed them and we needed the second
:04:28. > :04:31.goal and were disappointed with their goals, but it is an act the
:04:32. > :04:34.club can be proud of. We now have to attack the second half of the season
:04:35. > :04:36.and try to get into the top positions. Thanks very much. Their
:04:37. > :04:39.FA Cup adventure is over. Attention FA Cup adventure is over. Attention
:04:40. > :04:42.now back to the leak and those now back to the leak and those
:04:43. > :04:46.play-off positions. Leeds tonight in the cup proved to be a step too far.
:04:47. > :04:49.In other news, a man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of murder
:04:50. > :04:53.Police say they were called to property on Houghton Road
:04:54. > :04:55.following reports of violence just after midday yesterday.
:04:56. > :04:58.A man was found dead, while a woman was also injured.
:04:59. > :04:59.The death is being treated as "suspicious".
:05:00. > :05:01.Next tonight, the great-great-grandmother forced
:05:02. > :05:04.to share her ambulance with a stray dog.
:05:05. > :05:07.Brenda Wilding was being taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital
:05:08. > :05:10.in Cambridge when, to her amazement, the ambulance crew stopped to pick
:05:11. > :05:15.For Brenda Wilding, taking heavy medication has
:05:16. > :05:20.Recovering from chemotherapy, the 86-year-old developed serious
:05:21. > :05:26.stomach pains in November and called an ambulance.
:05:27. > :05:31.Minutes after leaving her Littleport home, paramedics pulled over
:05:32. > :05:33.on the A10 and got out of the ambulance to
:05:34. > :05:42.All this time this is happening, the paramedics go
:05:43. > :05:59.After stopping for a second time minutes later, paramedics then took
:06:00. > :06:01.the decision to bring the dog into the ambulance.
:06:02. > :06:04.All the while, Brenda was vomiting violently.
:06:05. > :06:07.It was like living through a nightmare.
:06:08. > :06:16.The whole experience was very, very bad.
:06:17. > :06:18.In a statement, the Ambulance Service apologised to
:06:19. > :06:34.But it was a letter sent to Brenda's granddaughter that has
:06:35. > :06:38.enraged the family - paramedics insisting Brenda
:06:39. > :06:41.was happy to share an ambulance with a dog because of ornaments seen
:06:42. > :06:47.I mean, I've got ornaments of horses in my house but you wouldn't expect
:06:48. > :06:56.The Ambulance Service has yet to contact Brenda directly.
:06:57. > :06:58.Her daughter Linda says she deserves better.
:06:59. > :07:09.My daughter was the one who's fought her grandmother's corner.
:07:10. > :07:16.There's been no apology whatsoever from anybody to Mum.
:07:17. > :07:18.In remission from bladder cancer, Brenda will be back in hospital
:07:19. > :07:22.in the coming weeks but says she'll now think twice before
:07:23. > :07:31.A woman's dream to create a centre for disabled
:07:32. > :07:33.people in Hertfordshire - is now a reality.
:07:34. > :07:36.In five years, the number of people using the workshops run
:07:37. > :07:39.by Jackie Nealon has grown from three to 300 -
:07:40. > :07:42.so today she opened new premises in Letchworth.
:07:43. > :07:47.Thanks for being patient and waiting.
:07:48. > :07:51.Today is the first time the people who love Jackie's Drop-in got
:07:52. > :07:54.to see the new centre, welcomed by Billy Byrne
:07:55. > :08:00.This has been a mammoth DIY project in itself -
:08:01. > :08:06.from derelict building to a haven for people who can feel isolated.
:08:07. > :08:08.We've got loads of new good rooms here.
:08:09. > :08:16.Crochet, making tea and coffees, being on the counter sometimes.
:08:17. > :08:21.Every day you come here, there's always different people here,
:08:22. > :08:22.there's always something different going on.
:08:23. > :08:30.Started by support worker Jackie with ?1 five years ago,
:08:31. > :08:34.it flourished after her daughter Zoe put an appeal on Facebook.
:08:35. > :08:38.Also helped by her two sons, the realisation that 300 people
:08:39. > :08:43.will use this brand-new centre only just beginning to sink in.
:08:44. > :08:48.It just doesn't seem real that this happened
:08:49. > :08:51.and it's quite emotional, really, to be honest with you.
:08:52. > :08:53.Staffed by volunteers, it relies entirely on donations.
:08:54. > :08:55.After it outgrew its old premises, Jackie's Drop-in received a ?10,000
:08:56. > :09:04.grant from the local heritage foundation to secure this site.
:09:05. > :09:06.When you meet the guys, they've got so much energy,
:09:07. > :09:09.so much enthusiasm and they care so much for all the people
:09:10. > :09:15.Those visiting here can feel part of the community and part of one
:09:16. > :09:29.That's all from me - but there's a lot of weather
:09:30. > :09:32.coming our way this week, so here's Julie with the details.
:09:33. > :09:35.Well, over tonight, we're going to have a little bit
:09:36. > :09:37.of patchy rain feeding down from the northwest, but some
:09:38. > :09:42.The strength of the winds should prevent a frost for many of us,
:09:43. > :09:44.but under those clear skies, temperatures actually could drop
:09:45. > :09:46.a degree or so lower than these values -
:09:47. > :09:49.down to around 1 Celsius - so we can't rule out
:09:50. > :09:52.And then tomorrow, there may be a bit of patchy
:09:53. > :09:55.rain around first thing, but for many of us, a fine and dry
:09:56. > :09:57.start to the day with some brightness and sunshine.
:09:58. > :10:00.As we head into the afternoon, cloud thickening from the west
:10:01. > :10:02.and eventually some rain starting to move in.
:10:03. > :10:04.Temperatures tomorrow reaching highs of around 8 Celsius,
:10:05. > :10:08.And we finish the day largely cloudy with this mainly light and patchy
:10:09. > :10:12.Then on Wednesday, we've got a cold front moving through.
:10:13. > :10:15.Once it's gone, we're going to have much colder air feeding
:10:16. > :10:17.down from the northwest, so it'll be a mild, cloudy start
:10:18. > :10:19.with perhaps some patchy rain, then becoming brighter
:10:20. > :10:25.Temperatures initially around 9 or 10 Celsius,
:10:26. > :10:28.but as that colder air feeds down from the northwest, I think we'll
:10:29. > :10:31.actually see the temperatures falling away closer to 7 Celsius.
:10:32. > :10:34.And then on Thursday, tightly packed isobars,
:10:35. > :10:37.which means it's going to be a windy day and bitterly cold.
:10:38. > :10:39.Some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers
:10:40. > :10:42.which could turn a bit wintry, perhaps a little bit of snow mixed
:10:43. > :10:45.in, but at the moment it shouldn't cause any problems.
:10:46. > :10:47.And it's really the same for Friday - after a very
:10:48. > :10:50.cold and frosty start, sunshine and showers and, again,
:10:51. > :10:53.In a minute, Jay has the national forecast,
:10:54. > :11:01.but I'll leave you with the outlook for next weekend.
:11:02. > :11:04.precipitation we get will be of a wintry nation and Thursday is one we
:11:05. > :11:05.have
