Hello and welcome to tonight's late news. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The search for Corrie McKeague comes to Cambridge. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
As this landfill site is searched as part of the investigation. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
More money for science and a rates rebate | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
And fine weather on the way for tomorrow, all the details coming up | :00:14. | :00:27. | |
Specialist investigators are at a landfill site near Cambridge, | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
as the search for missing airman Corrie McKeague continues. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
The 23-year-old went missing in September | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
after a night out in Bury St Edmunds. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Yesterday, police admitted that a waste-disposal truck, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
spotted close to where he was last seen, | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
was carrying a heavier load than first thought. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
It's now feared the truck may have picked up Mr McKeague's body. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Slowly and methodically, specially trained officers carefully rake | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
through waste, mindful that just below them | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
could lie the remains of Corrie McKeague. | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Nearby, a digger waits to collect it after each search. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Scented air is fanned across the site to mask the smell. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
To search this area, we are using the | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
digger to draw out the waste, to lay it out on the ground carefully. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Katie Elliot from Suffolk Police has led a five-month investigation. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
She is confident her team will find Corrie here. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
To the right, a site for household waste. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
And further in, police have set up a compound for the search | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
teams, from which a specially built access route leads to the search | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
site, 920 square metres and eight metres deep. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
This is the last image of the 22-year-old air man in the early | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Corrie went missing from this area of Bury St Edmunds, a rubbish lorry | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
made a collection from here within an hour of his disappearance. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The last movements of his mobile phone | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
coincided with the route the lorry took to the landfall. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Nicola Urquhart, who has led the public search for her son, has | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
steeled herself for this moment, but it is still devastating. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Because when you don't know, you can still believe | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Police say the error over the bin's weight was made by | :02:13. | :02:30. | |
the waste company, who provided the data. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
They say there was no intention to mislead the | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Has police known at the outset that the true weight of | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
the bin, how different would this investigation be? | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
It also begs two other questions - firstly, why did it | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
take more than five months for this fact to emerge? | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
And secondly, if Corrie was in that bin, how can | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
a body have been taken to a landfill like this | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
If that is what has happened, then we need to understand | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
how that happened and understand the circumstances of | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
In five months, police only made one arrest. | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Last week they questioned a man reported to be from the bin firm | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
on suspicion of attempting to pervert because of justice. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Both men have been told they will face no | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
All eyes are now focused on this landfill site near | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Corrie McKeague's family are praying for the best, but are now | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Phillip Hammond has unveiled his first Budget as Chancellor. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
And, as expected, there's more money for the NHS, | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
with an extra ?2 billion earmarked for social care. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Over the next three years, hospitals will also benefit, | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
with ?100 million, buying in more GPs to work in A E | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Science and research and development is another winner, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
with ?270 million funding new technologies. | :03:57. | :03:57. | |
And a further ?300 million helping to create up to 1,000 PhD places. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
But it was business rates that were the key concern | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
He's used to counting the pennies as well as pulling the pints and | :04:04. | :04:13. | |
today, this publican had some good news to celebrate. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
The Chancellor confirming that pubs across the | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
country would be given a ?1000 discount on their business rates. | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Anything is a help and, yeah, ?1000, to some people is a lot of money. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
In the great scheme of things, I don't | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
suppose it's too much, but anything is a great help. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Jethro currently pays ?20,000 a year as like many, he | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
Across this region, the majority of businesses | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
Only four areas will see a rise of up to 50%. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
The Government had been lambasted for what was | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
They have today pledged to spread that | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
What the Chancellor also announced, he was going to set up a | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
review into what the digital based companies pay, because at the | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
moment, it is those who have physical shops or warehouses or | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
factory premises that paid the rates. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
It good news for the technology and research and | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
With ?270 million earmarked for a robotics and | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Some of that money is likely to come to this region. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Social care got by far the biggest windfall of the budget. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
?2 billion of the next three years, keeping | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
people out of hospital and caring for the elderly. | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
A critical way this new money will be spent | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
will be trying to get people out of hospital | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Places in care homes, or domiciliary care homes, like the | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
ones we provide, should be the first port of call for this money. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Money gets too little and too late according to Labour. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
?1 billion, when ?5 billion has been taken out | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
of the last few years, is tiny, frankly. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Anything is welcome, but this is a sticking plaster for a | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
The detail of how many of today's announcements will play out is still | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
unknown, but for this publican at least more money | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
Our Political Correspondent Andrew Sinclair has been | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
What stands out for you in this Budget? | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
And those who were worried about the increase in business rates power | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
among the winners today. Social care has done pretty well. Tonight, our | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
money going into social care, money going into social care, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
although they are pointing out that this is only a temporary solution. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
It doesn't solve the long-term funding crisis. The Government has | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
a consultation into the future a consultation into the future | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
funding of social care. There is more money for hospitals to help | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
them cope with the growing pressures this winter in a empty. These are | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
all becoming very big problems in our region. Local MPs like them | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
mother-to-be template and he listened. | :07:03. | :07:03. | |
Were there any local spending announcements today? | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
No, we will get local detail in the weeks to come. The money into | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
research and development is very research and development is very | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
significant and I'm told to get a lot of that coming our way. The | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Chancellor said today those are things like research and development | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
space we search, driverless cars, all things that we are very good at | :07:29. | :07:29. | |
here in the east. Thank you, Andrew. A pioneering sexual | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
assault referral centre has been officially opened | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
at Hinchingbrooke Hospital today. The Elms aims to put | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
the victim first by focusing on their | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
health and wellbeing, while at the same time gathering | :07:40. | :07:40. | |
evidence for prosecution. Louise Hubball has been | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
to take a look around. Opened today by Baroness Newlove, | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
the Government's Her husband, Gary, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
was murdered ten years ago. For her, this new centre | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
for such a assault victims is a national model, merging | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
police and medical care under one So, I think it works very well, | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
because there is nothing worse It means having the strength to go | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
and visit another place to speak to another individual, where | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
this builds on the relationship. This is from the | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
victims' perspective. This whole centre is | :08:20. | :08:20. | |
focused on the victim. There are examination | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
rooms with those who have just been attacked, | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
and also homely counselling spaces. This young women was | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
raped and has been supported by a similar | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
referral centre. Her words, spoken by an actor, | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
to protect her identity. There was a nurse | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
and a support worker. They made me feel at | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
ease and examined me. The room we are in now, | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
it's beautifully furnished. There are flowers, how | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
much a difference does that kind of thing make when having | :08:42. | :08:56. | |
to go through something You need to feel in a place that is | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
warm and relaxing and bright. You don't want to be in a dreary | :09:04. | :09:15. | |
room, where there's nothing It'll just make you feel | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
more low and scared. What do you think about | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
the new centre here? The purpose here is to help | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
victims cope and recover. The presence of a video link system | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
means they can also give evidence By having a court link room | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
within the facility, it actually means that we can bring | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
them into an environment where they are still feeling comfortable | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
and calm and hopefully have some confidence around the support | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
system that's in place. So, the importance of that is | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
that they can give the There's also a specialised | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
section for children. Whatever the age of those | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
who have been abused, the goal to allow them | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
to rebuild their lives. Members of the public | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
in Bedfordshire are being offered free scans to test | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
for liver disease. The mobile unit has | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
been in Bedford today The scans aim to pick up any | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
signs of liver damage. These areas have the highest | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
premature death rate from liver Each year more than 200 people | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
are admitted to Bedford Hospital It can be caused | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
by obesity diabetes, Liver disease is know | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
as a silent killer. That's how the region | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
is looking tonight. But from me and the late | :10:13. | :10:13. | |
team, good night. We'll be back with the Breakfast | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
bulletins from 6:25am Going to keep some fairly mild | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
temperatures over the And for tonight, for | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
most of us, temperature is not expected to drop lower | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
than around 7 degrees. There will be some areas of cloud | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
coming and going, so under those clear skies, it is | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
possible it might just get a little But on the whole, it's looking | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
like fairly mild overnight lows. And this weather system that brought | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
us cloud and rain first thing this morning | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
is still to the south, but it is well at the way | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
for tomorrow and we are expecting some | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
fine weather across the region Maybe some patchy cloud around | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
at first, but some good So, temperatures climbing | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
into the mid-teens. South-westerly, initially | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
and then swinging around Quite a noticeable | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
breeze, but lots of fine The National weather is coming up, | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
but here's the outlook. Hello. Spring is in the air with | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
temperatures reaching 14 or 15 in a few spots today as they will again | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
over the next few days. Very pleasant in the sun. The daffodils | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
were loving that in York. More places under blue sky tomorrow and | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
dry. Tonight heavy showers moving across Scotland on strong to gale | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
force winds, some may clip Northern Ireland. It's a mild night in | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
southern England and South Wales but damp and drizzly, misty with coastal | :11:35. | :11:45. | |
and hill fog elsewhere. Temperatures in between and dry: This damp | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
weather hangs on from parts of the Channel Islands, to Cornwall. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Elsewhere, it's getting brighter in South Wales and southern England. In | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
