Hello. news where you are.

:00:17.:00:17.

A warning tonight from our hospitals.

:00:18.:00:19.

Please don't go to accident and emergency unless your

:00:20.:00:21.

Many are struggling to cope with a high number of older patients

:00:22.:00:25.

and they are worried the situation will only get worse over New Year.

:00:26.:00:28.

There has also been a record demand for ambulances over Christmas.

:00:29.:00:30.

When the hospital says don't come to accident and emergency

:00:31.:00:34.

unless your condition is life or limb threatening,

:00:35.:00:36.

All beds here at the James Paget near Great Yarmouth are full.

:00:37.:00:41.

at A are having to wait up to five hours to be seen.

:00:42.:00:46.

Our staff are working relentlessly

:00:47.:00:49.

under extreme pressure to provide safe patient care.

:00:50.:00:53.

And are you able to keep up with that?

:00:54.:00:56.

we have to do the right thing for our patients.

:00:57.:01:00.

Northampton has no spare beds, Addenbrooke's and Cambridge says

:01:01.:01:06.

it's treating many older patients and the Lister in Stevenage,

:01:07.:01:10.

like many hospitals, is extremely busy.

:01:11.:01:13.

But this year we've seen another factor, Christmas Day

:01:14.:01:15.

and New Year's Day both full on Sundays which means

:01:16.:01:19.

that effectively we have got two bank holiday weekends back to back

:01:20.:01:24.

and that also has consequences for the wider health care system.

:01:25.:01:29.

It means more perhaps look to the emergency services

:01:30.:01:32.

rather than their family doctor when they fall ill.

:01:33.:01:34.

The region's Ambulance Service has seen

:01:35.:01:36.

a record-breaking rise in 999 calls this Christmas.

:01:37.:01:38.

Between 7pm on Christmas Eve and 11pm on Boxing Day,

:01:39.:01:43.

the service received almost 7000 calls,

:01:44.:01:46.

up from just over 6000 the previous year.

:01:47.:01:49.

The reason for the increase isn't clear.

:01:50.:01:52.

Our crews are working 12-hour days and often

:01:53.:01:54.

they're going from one patient to another patient to another patient

:01:55.:01:57.

and then to a hospital and then to another patient and it's

:01:58.:02:03.

The message from paramedics and hospital

:02:04.:02:05.

doctors, make your GP, your local pharmacy,

:02:06.:02:07.

your first point of contact if you fall ill.

:02:08.:02:11.

Because the next few days will be a huge challenge

:02:12.:02:13.

for those on health care's emergency front line.

:02:14.:02:15.

Hundreds of people gathered on the beach in Leigh on Sea last

:02:16.:02:22.

night to remember two teenagers who died in a car crash on Tuesday.

:02:23.:02:25.

Paper lanterns and balloons were released and fireworks set off.

:02:26.:02:29.

Reegan Knight and Liam Phillips were both 17 years old.

:02:30.:02:33.

Southend United football club is also planning a tribute

:02:34.:02:35.

I feel devastated, one of my close mates is not here any more.

:02:36.:02:43.

I can't speak to him but I just want to give him

:02:44.:02:48.

this lovely sendoff so he knows up there that we are looking out

:02:49.:02:51.

A man has been arrested in connection with a burglary

:02:52.:02:56.

in which police officers were threatened.

:02:57.:02:58.

It happened in Wivenhoe on December the 13th when police

:02:59.:03:01.

A 24-year-old man from Colchester has been arrested on suspicion

:03:02.:03:06.

of aggravated burglary and possession of firearms.

:03:07.:03:14.

House prices in Luton are rising faster than anywhere else

:03:15.:03:17.

They've gone up by nearly 20% in the last year,

:03:18.:03:21.

making it the biggest proportional increase.

:03:22.:03:22.

The average price of a house in Luton

:03:23.:03:24.

The Norwich City manager Alex Neil has refused to comment on a report

:03:25.:03:37.

in the Sun newspaper that he will get ?2 million if he is sacked.

:03:38.:03:40.

With eight defeats in the last ten league matches,

:03:41.:03:43.

Very little is going right for Alex Neil just

:03:44.:03:49.

at the moment and the last thing he needed was to find his name

:03:50.:03:52.

and that of his chairman Ed Balls on the back page

:03:53.:03:55.

The paper claims Neil will get ?2 million if he gets sacked.

:03:56.:04:02.

The man himself wouldn't confirm or deny that.

:04:03.:04:05.

It's like anything else, I've never sat here and spoke about

:04:06.:04:08.

players' contracts and different things like that

:04:09.:04:11.

so I'm not going to sit here and speak about my contract

:04:12.:04:14.

Despite relegation from the Premier League last year,

:04:15.:04:18.

But eight defeats in the last ten League matches this season

:04:19.:04:25.

So, can the Canaries afford to sack him now?

:04:26.:04:32.

It's much more important that Norwich try and get back to the

:04:33.:04:35.

Premier League than it is maybe to have to pay a manager

:04:36.:04:38.

what he's owed, it's as simple as that.

:04:39.:04:40.

Because it would cost a lot more to stay in

:04:41.:04:43.

the Championship or even worse, as we've seen with Norwich

:04:44.:04:45.

in the past, to go down another league than it is

:04:46.:04:48.

to maybe change the manager and it's a case of how long

:04:49.:04:50.

Contrary to suggestions in the local media,

:04:51.:04:57.

I don't bury my head in the sand.

:04:58.:04:59.

I know exactly where we are, what's gone on.

:05:00.:05:02.

I know that it's unacceptable and we need to do better.

:05:03.:05:04.

I can assure you I feel that more than anybody else.

:05:05.:05:08.

Mainly because I'm a winner, I want to win games,

:05:09.:05:11.

Brentford tomorrow, Derby at Carrow Road on Monday.

:05:12.:05:18.

Two wins and the pressure eases but if the results go against

:05:19.:05:21.

the Canaries, it's unlikely to be a happy New Year for Alex Neil.

:05:22.:05:27.

Mike Liggins, BBC Look East, at the Norwich City training ground.

:05:28.:05:31.

And two of our teams are in action tonight.

:05:32.:05:34.

Ipswich are at home to Bristol City and MK Dons are also

:05:35.:05:37.

Now time for a look at the weather with Dan.

:05:38.:05:46.

Mist and fog causing some problems across the region today. Poor

:05:47.:05:51.

visibility but not everywhere. We have seen some sunshine as well.

:05:52.:05:56.

This is one of our pictures. One of the lucky few that saw a glimpse of

:05:57.:05:59.

blue sky through because of the day. I probably can't hear. But for many,

:06:00.:06:07.

a lot of locale, mist fog. If you're driving this evening, Met Office

:06:08.:06:12.

warning that the dense fog with visibility below a hundred in

:06:13.:06:20.

favours. -- not for many here. Perhaps just the thing a little bit

:06:21.:06:24.

towards the north-west of the region tonight, temperatures or maybe just

:06:25.:06:27.

above freezing but locally, if you get a gap in the car, down 2-1 minus

:06:28.:06:32.

two Celsius. Patchy frost here now. Not as cold as last night. A lot of

:06:33.:06:38.

cloud tomorrow, mist and fog lifting to the day tomorrow so improving on

:06:39.:06:41.

today with a bit of rain is here and there for the afternoon. The breeze

:06:42.:06:45.

picking up as well, highs to seven to nine Celsius. Tomorrow evening,

:06:46.:06:52.

as we run up towards midnight, not a lot changing, the breeze will pick

:06:53.:06:57.

up, mostly dry, the odd spot of impossible and temperatures should

:06:58.:07:00.

be around six or seven Celsius. Quite master this time of the year.

:07:01.:07:04.

It is all change as we go into the New Year, a band of rain stinking

:07:05.:07:08.

south towards the morning on New Year's Day, healthy buzz of rain.

:07:09.:07:13.

Bit of uncertainty of how quickly the rain clears. It might turn

:07:14.:07:23.

sweetie on the back edge. Sunday, looking quite wet through the

:07:24.:07:27.

morning but mild as the rain" it will turn colder do because of the

:07:28.:07:30.

afternoon. Hopefully something a little bit brighter later on in the

:07:31.:07:34.

day. A cold frosty night to follow into Monday morning, the bank

:07:35.:07:38.

holiday. Both Monday and Tuesday mainly dry days but cold with some

:07:39.:07:42.

sunshine, chilly overnight, sharp frost on Monday night and parts of

:07:43.:07:45.

Norfolk and Suffolk might see a wintry showers feeding in from the

:07:46.:07:51.

North Sea. Thank you very much. That is it from me for this year. I will

:07:52.:07:55.

see you next year. Have a happy New Year.

:07:56.:07:59.
