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.:00:00.

the Cobblers manager gets the boot after a run of defeats

:00:00.:00:08.

Forced to share her ambulance with a dog.

:00:09.:00:13.

Paramedics apologise to an 86-year-old after picking up

:00:14.:00:15.

And will we see snow? I'll have all the details in the weather.

:00:16.:00:29.

The hunt for a new manager for Northampton Town is on.

:00:30.:00:33.

Rob Page was sacked today after the team's 5-0 drubbing

:00:34.:00:35.

at Bristol Rovers at the weekend - which he controversially described

:00:36.:00:38.

It was, though, the Cobblers' eighth loss in ten games,

:00:39.:00:44.

Another seat needs filling at Sixfields -

:00:45.:00:49.

this time it's the manager's, Rob Page lasting just eight months.

:00:50.:00:53.

The Cobblers, who are 16th in League 1, were humiliated

:00:54.:00:56.

at Bristol on Saturday - 4-0 down after 25 minutes,

:00:57.:01:00.

The pressure telling in this post-match interview.

:01:01.:01:06.

Actions speak louder than words, and I thought it was men

:01:07.:01:09.

Not boys - it was men against girls and that - that is -

:01:10.:01:14.

His comments didn't cause his sacking,

:01:15.:01:17.

He was very angry about the way the players had let him down

:01:18.:01:24.

and he tried to find the appropriate way to describe that particular

:01:25.:01:26.

disappointment and he came up with completely the wrong kind

:01:27.:01:29.

of comparison - the wrong kind of versus, if you like.

:01:30.:01:35.

I don't think it was a reason why he lost his job -

:01:36.:01:44.

that's to do with the form of the team.

:01:45.:01:48.

It's all sad to see someone lose their job but I think

:01:49.:01:51.

it was inevitable with the way the performances have been

:01:52.:01:54.

It's been going downhill, and Saturday was...well, woeful.

:01:55.:02:01.

The writing's been on the wall for Rob Page these last few weeks,

:02:02.:02:04.

and chairman Kelvin Thomas pretty much alluded to that

:02:05.:02:06.

The pressure to be manager in this dugout has been intense -

:02:07.:02:11.

particularly when you consider the success of last season

:02:12.:02:13.

It was always going to be hard for Page to follow

:02:14.:02:18.

Had he had more time, he might have achieved it.

:02:19.:02:21.

He was too quick, maybe, to dismantle the side from last

:02:22.:02:24.

This club has, frankly, had enough drama to last a lifetime.

:02:25.:02:31.

The club aren't in a relegation battle just yet.

:02:32.:02:34.

This sacking is supposed to stop the rot.

:02:35.:02:37.

Rob Page was supposed to offer consolidation, not another

:02:38.:02:39.

Staying with football, and Cambridge United are out

:02:40.:02:49.

of the FA Cup after a 2-1 home loss to Leeds United.

:02:50.:02:52.

Tom, a big disappointment for fans who braved the rain there tonight?

:02:53.:03:04.

Yes, they did. An entertaining cup tie. 45 minutes looked like a giant

:03:05.:03:10.

killing was on. You barely would have known there were two divisions

:03:11.:03:14.

between the two sides. Cambridge United from League 2 dominated early

:03:15.:03:19.

on and took a deserved lead. Uche Ikpeazu with a goal. The ball came

:03:20.:03:23.

to him after a free kick. He blasted it in at the near post and great

:03:24.:03:29.

celebrations. For all Cambridge's determination, they didn't get the

:03:30.:03:32.

second goal. The championship side punished them early in the

:03:33.:03:38.

second-half. Stuart Dallas meet 1-1 and a decisive second full squad.

:03:39.:03:42.

2-1 to Leeds, but the rich fans enjoyed it. The first 20, 30

:03:43.:03:47.

minutes, it will all Cambridge, brilliant. Did you think the upset

:03:48.:03:52.

was on? It could have been. Definitely a game of two halves.

:03:53.:04:00.

Uche held up really well. A totally different game. Lead study to them

:04:01.:04:04.

in the second half and Cambridge couldn't stay with it. With me this

:04:05.:04:11.

the chief executive of Cambridge. You pushed them so close. A

:04:12.:04:13.

disappointing night tonight the club disappointing night tonight the club

:04:14.:04:18.

can be proud of. The first half, the players were outstanding, the cloud

:04:19.:04:21.

with outstanding, a full house. We pushed them and we needed the second

:04:22.:04:27.

goal and were disappointed with their goals, but it is an act the

:04:28.:04:31.

club can be proud of. We now have to attack the second half of the season

:04:32.:04:34.

and try to get into the top positions. Thanks very much. Their

:04:35.:04:36.

FA Cup adventure is over. Attention FA Cup adventure is over. Attention

:04:37.:04:39.

now back to the leak and those now back to the leak and those

:04:40.:04:42.

play-off positions. Leeds tonight in the cup proved to be a step too far.

:04:43.:04:46.

In other news, a man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of murder

:04:47.:04:49.

Police say they were called to property on Houghton Road

:04:50.:04:53.

following reports of violence just after midday yesterday.

:04:54.:04:55.

A man was found dead, while a woman was also injured.

:04:56.:04:58.

The death is being treated as "suspicious".

:04:59.:04:59.

Next tonight, the great-great-grandmother forced

:05:00.:05:01.

to share her ambulance with a stray dog.

:05:02.:05:04.

Brenda Wilding was being taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital

:05:05.:05:07.

in Cambridge when, to her amazement, the ambulance crew stopped to pick

:05:08.:05:10.

For Brenda Wilding, taking heavy medication has

:05:11.:05:15.

Recovering from chemotherapy, the 86-year-old developed serious

:05:16.:05:20.

stomach pains in November and called an ambulance.

:05:21.:05:26.

Minutes after leaving her Littleport home, paramedics pulled over

:05:27.:05:31.

on the A10 and got out of the ambulance to

:05:32.:05:33.

All this time this is happening, the paramedics go

:05:34.:05:42.

After stopping for a second time minutes later, paramedics then took

:05:43.:05:59.

the decision to bring the dog into the ambulance.

:06:00.:06:01.

All the while, Brenda was vomiting violently.

:06:02.:06:04.

It was like living through a nightmare.

:06:05.:06:07.

The whole experience was very, very bad.

:06:08.:06:16.

In a statement, the Ambulance Service apologised to

:06:17.:06:18.

But it was a letter sent to Brenda's granddaughter that has

:06:19.:06:34.

enraged the family - paramedics insisting Brenda

:06:35.:06:38.

was happy to share an ambulance with a dog because of ornaments seen

:06:39.:06:41.

I mean, I've got ornaments of horses in my house but you wouldn't expect

:06:42.:06:47.

The Ambulance Service has yet to contact Brenda directly.

:06:48.:06:56.

Her daughter Linda says she deserves better.

:06:57.:06:58.

My daughter was the one who's fought her grandmother's corner.

:06:59.:07:09.

There's been no apology whatsoever from anybody to Mum.

:07:10.:07:16.

In remission from bladder cancer, Brenda will be back in hospital

:07:17.:07:18.

in the coming weeks but says she'll now think twice before

:07:19.:07:22.

A woman's dream to create a centre for disabled

:07:23.:07:31.

people in Hertfordshire - is now a reality.

:07:32.:07:33.

In five years, the number of people using the workshops run

:07:34.:07:36.

by Jackie Nealon has grown from three to 300 -

:07:37.:07:39.

so today she opened new premises in Letchworth.

:07:40.:07:42.

Thanks for being patient and waiting.

:07:43.:07:47.

Today is the first time the people who love Jackie's Drop-in got

:07:48.:07:51.

to see the new centre, welcomed by Billy Byrne

:07:52.:07:54.

This has been a mammoth DIY project in itself -

:07:55.:08:00.

from derelict building to a haven for people who can feel isolated.

:08:01.:08:06.

We've got loads of new good rooms here.

:08:07.:08:08.

Crochet, making tea and coffees, being on the counter sometimes.

:08:09.:08:16.

Every day you come here, there's always different people here,

:08:17.:08:21.

there's always something different going on.

:08:22.:08:22.

Started by support worker Jackie with ?1 five years ago,

:08:23.:08:30.

it flourished after her daughter Zoe put an appeal on Facebook.

:08:31.:08:34.

Also helped by her two sons, the realisation that 300 people

:08:35.:08:38.

will use this brand-new centre only just beginning to sink in.

:08:39.:08:43.

It just doesn't seem real that this happened

:08:44.:08:48.

and it's quite emotional, really, to be honest with you.

:08:49.:08:51.

Staffed by volunteers, it relies entirely on donations.

:08:52.:08:53.

After it outgrew its old premises, Jackie's Drop-in received a ?10,000

:08:54.:08:55.

grant from the local heritage foundation to secure this site.

:08:56.:09:04.

When you meet the guys, they've got so much energy,

:09:05.:09:06.

so much enthusiasm and they care so much for all the people

:09:07.:09:09.

Those visiting here can feel part of the community and part of one

:09:10.:09:15.

That's all from me - but there's a lot of weather

:09:16.:09:29.

coming our way this week, so here's Julie with the details.

:09:30.:09:32.

Well, over tonight, we're going to have a little bit

:09:33.:09:35.

of patchy rain feeding down from the northwest, but some

:09:36.:09:37.

The strength of the winds should prevent a frost for many of us,

:09:38.:09:42.

but under those clear skies, temperatures actually could drop

:09:43.:09:44.

a degree or so lower than these values -

:09:45.:09:46.

down to around 1 Celsius - so we can't rule out

:09:47.:09:49.

And then tomorrow, there may be a bit of patchy

:09:50.:09:52.

rain around first thing, but for many of us, a fine and dry

:09:53.:09:55.

start to the day with some brightness and sunshine.

:09:56.:09:57.

As we head into the afternoon, cloud thickening from the west

:09:58.:10:00.

and eventually some rain starting to move in.

:10:01.:10:02.

Temperatures tomorrow reaching highs of around 8 Celsius,

:10:03.:10:04.

And we finish the day largely cloudy with this mainly light and patchy

:10:05.:10:08.

Then on Wednesday, we've got a cold front moving through.

:10:09.:10:12.

Once it's gone, we're going to have much colder air feeding

:10:13.:10:15.

down from the northwest, so it'll be a mild, cloudy start

:10:16.:10:17.

with perhaps some patchy rain, then becoming brighter

:10:18.:10:19.

Temperatures initially around 9 or 10 Celsius,

:10:20.:10:25.

but as that colder air feeds down from the northwest, I think we'll

:10:26.:10:28.

actually see the temperatures falling away closer to 7 Celsius.

:10:29.:10:31.

And then on Thursday, tightly packed isobars,

:10:32.:10:34.

which means it's going to be a windy day and bitterly cold.

:10:35.:10:37.

Some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers

:10:38.:10:39.

which could turn a bit wintry, perhaps a little bit of snow mixed

:10:40.:10:42.

in, but at the moment it shouldn't cause any problems.

:10:43.:10:45.

And it's really the same for Friday - after a very

:10:46.:10:47.

cold and frosty start, sunshine and showers and, again,

:10:48.:10:50.

In a minute, Jay has the national forecast,

:10:51.:10:53.

but I'll leave you with the outlook for next weekend.

:10:54.:11:01.

precipitation we get will be of a wintry nation and Thursday is one we

:11:02.:11:04.

have

:11:05.:11:05.
