Exactly a month after an airman from Suffolk

his mother makes a new appeal for information.

Something untoward has happdned to him after that, that is why he's

Airline passengers from this region are promised better access

to Heathrow once the controversial third runway is built.

It's penalty misery for the Canaries as they go out of the Leagud Cup.

And in Black History Month, the Norfolk artist

winning a lifetime achievement award.

The mother of an airman who went missing in Suffolk told Look East

today she is bracing herself for the worst.

23-year-old Corrie Mckeague, who is stationed at RAF Honhngton,

was reported missing exactly a month ago.

He was last seen on CCTV in Bury St Edmunds after

Since then, there has been ` huge search of the area between Bury

But so far there has been no sign of him.

Today, his mother made a new appeal for information.

Let's get the details now from Katherine Nash.

Corrie's mother travelled down to Scotland a month ago as soon as the

investigation into Corrie's disappearance was not. They have

spoken to the media on a nulber of spoken to the media on a nulber of

occasions and today was no different. Except what has changed a

month on his hopes of finding Corrie have become more desperate.

Searches today at Great Livermere, the

latest in the hunt for misshng airman Corrie Mckeague.

Just to let you know we are about to commence our search area,

A sighting of him on the ro`d industrial estate behind thd sugar

beet factory. For his brothdr and mothers, hoping to find him is fast.

Our thoughts have changed from initially, as the police, as most

people thought, it is very hard to think of anything else that has

happened to him other than he has gone in a vehicle because somebody

drunk at three o'clock in the morning is not going to be `ble to

buy Chinese wok clean out of body without being seen. Earlier this

week, and man came close to say he had possibly seen Corrie on an

industrial estate behind thd factory in turn two. Do you think that

could've been Corrie? Identhkit has been him. I can't thank the

gentleman enough the coming forward because I would not discount

anything, we need people to come forward. They have checked CCTV in

relation to where this gentleman has thought he has been Corrie seen a

male with light cover clustdred -- coloured clothing. What would you

at the time to help find sole? I am at the time to help find sole? I am

a police officer but I am a mother first, without a shadow of ` doubt.

If somebody has tried to help Corrie, if they have given him a

lift to try and help him get a lift up the road but they have t`ken him

to the wrong place and then they have dropped off and now thdy feel

begin with so please carry on, do begin with so please carry on, do

something nice, let us know where you have dropped him off because

something untoward has happdned to him after that. That is why he has

not been able to come home. If it's somebody who has taken him, I do not

know what you had taken him. They don't want anything because this is

for anything of any description so for anything of any description so

why else would somebody havd taken him? Tell us where he is. You came

down from Scotland to Suffolk, and month ago. How long are you going to

stay here for? We were coming back from London the other day on the

train and he turned round and said I can't wait to get home and he meant

difficult to say where we are going difficult to say where we are going

to go home. We know that we need to for our insanity because it will

feel like we are giving up on Corrie. If we'd stayed too long and

then decide to go home but they are making it so easy for us to cope

down here, it makes it really difficult to go home. Over the past

four weeks, police, DIF and volunteers from the Suffolk Lowlands

rescue have been out in force. - EIF. -- tarmac. More than 5000

man-hours have been spent looking for the airman who has disappeared

so far without a trace. It is difficult to see what the

police can do apart from wh`t they have done?

That is true that since the investigation has been lodgdd, a

number of people have come forward with pieces of information `nd

tonight one of those lines of enquiry, that possible sighting of

Corrie an industrial estate is very much being looked into. Thex are

also trawling through hours and hours of CCTV that age, keen to talk

to people who were captured on camera the night he might mhssing.

information, no matter how information, no matter how

insignificant they think it could be, to very much get in touch with

them tonight because it could just them tonight because it could just

be a bit of information that they have been looking for.

Kaplan, thank you very much. -- Catherine.

The Transport Secretary has been making the case today

that a third runway at Heathrow will be good for every part

It will bring he says new jobs and better transport

But does it really feel like that in the East?

Our business correspondent Richard Bond is here.

Chris Grayling obviously wants us to welcome the new runway.

That is a hard sell in the dase because Heathrow is on the wrong

side of London for us. Thred years ago, Stanton made its case for extra

runway capacity in Essex, that case was rejected. Bat Stansted. Business

groups say here it is better that some extra runway capacity hs

created in these rather than none at all and there will be benefhts for a

bigger Heathrow for this region In what sort of ways? The airport

commission recommends that boosted Heathrow will boost the economy over

?11 billion over the next 30 years. That is everything from loc`l firms

to more inbound tourism comhng through Heathrow to us and lore

exports and trade through Hdathrow. How were the expansion at Hdathrow

affect the airport here? All the adult payable welcome the expansion

of Heathrow, Falcon says it can help provide extra capacity for `dults

only Saudis and that is a point also that Stansted makes.

So Stansted has got significant spare capacity over the next ten to

15 years, we think it will probably take that time to build a ndw runway

In that meantime, we could probably take another 100,000 flights

One of the main problems with Heathrow, it is difficult to get to.

You can only get to Heathrow by road or rail. You cannot fly there from

this region. In the future, Heathrow is saying it will open up slots for

regional flights into Heathrow so you could be able to fly from

Norwich to Heathrow, rail access as well is going to be improved. We

have got Crosswell coming up in the ears, that will improve accdss or

rail travellers coming to point such as Liverpool Street and Str`tford.

-- Crossrail. They will be `ble to change what to get to Heathrow.

Thank you. Look East has learned that

Suffolk County Council is f`cing a shortfall of ?3 million to pay

for adult social care. Since last year, the budget

for social care has been pooled between councils and local clinical

commissioning groups or CCGs. But CCGs have been struggling

with their own budget defichts leaving some councils

like Suffolk with a big problem After a stroke six years ago,

80-year-old Colin King was left His wife, Viv, looks after him

but she can't do it alone. I sometimes have to get thel up

in the night or early in thd morning, I have to do

it myself but to have to do that every day,

I could not do it. Carers come in three times

a day, the couple make a contribution to the care costs

but the council pays the majority. From this year, councils st`rted

to operate the better care fund

for health and social care. The better care fund is a pooled

budget from our local health

providers, the clinical commissioning groups

and our local councils, who can charge

an extra 2% council tax precept And from next year until 2020,

the Government has Here in Suffolk, there's

already a shortfall in social care funding

of ?3.1 million, a figure that is

expected to rise to 10 millhon by If you look at the better c`re fund,

if you look at the things that we are doing with the health

and well-being board and yot look at how we are trying to change this

and that can go part of

the way to addressing longer term, we are going to have to

have a conversation about the amount of money that we put into sdrvices

to allow people to have a hhgh Suffolk is not alone,

pressures in Norfolk with a We try to manage demand,

Norfolk and Suffolk. the 84-year-old farmer

from Leicester died from The plane was a restored

American Mustang. The pilot, Maurice Hammond from Eye,

is still in hospital. The days when a police officer pulls

out his notebook to take down a few details could soon be a thing

of the past. In Essex, they are spending

?2 million to give all front line But going digital

means the traditional This is what they used to use, the

traditional police notebook. That is because front line officers

in Essex have gone digital. These are the new Samsung G`laxy

Note 4's that have been rolled out to front line officers

across Essex Police. The phones can show live

footage from CCTV cameras Not only do we get the CCTV,

we get the camera from our helicopter as well,

persons, we can see the feed So we can see live time

to direct us. Before getting their phones,

if officers witnessed something while they were ott

drive back here and Now they can file all

the information from their phone while still

Essex needs more officers but my job as Chief

Constable is to make sure whth those officers that I do have,

I use them to the best What it means for the peopld

of the county, they will be seeing my officers out

to say hello to them, they are not being lazy, they ard not

playing Angry Birds or anything else, they're actually

I'm joined now by a local rdsident who wants to keep telephone boxes as

reality is much of North Norfolk there is either know faint signal or

evening and in an emergency, that could be critical and we nedd things

that actually work in our local communities. That is why we are

boxes across North Norfolk, BT should be ensuring that all

residents have access to both mobile and coverage, good mobile phone

coverage and broadband. We would love to find out what you think

about keeping your phone box or maybe getting rid of it at `ll. The

details are below. We would love to find out.
