as the region's main train service into London descends | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
into chaos because of technical problems. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
It is an absolute disgrace that there is no possible transport route | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
by rail or bus into London. This woman's family say she was | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
denied her wish to die at home because there was no-one | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
to care for her. I promised her she would never be | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
put in a home. There's a colourful reception | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
for the Queen in Norfolk as she pays a visit | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
to an art exhibition. And a masterclass in the growing | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
sport of ping pong Thousands of rail commuters | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
were caught up in rush-hour chaos today as the region's main line | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
into London was hit when overhead power | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
cables at Chelmsford But by the start of the peak | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
service this morning there were no replacement | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
bus services in place. Greater Anglia asked | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
passengers not to travel. Twitter was full of commuters | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
who were angry and frustrated. tweeted, "Greater Anglia has serious | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
questions to answer". Disruption, delays and | :01:33. | :01:54. | |
cancellations. Greater Anglia issued a do not travel notice. Commuters | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
vented their frustration on social media. | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
Rather than coming to stations, waiting in the freezing cold, the | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
advice was, make alternative arrangements. The company were not | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
able to provide alternative travel for the volume of commuters during | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
rush hour. Just a small number of replacement buses. I understand that | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
they cannot possibly get 15,000, 20,000 people into London in peak | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
rush hour, but to have no contingency, some people can see | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
they can take the day off, a lot of people cannot, they have to get into | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
London. The problem started last night at around ten o'clock. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
It was damage to the overhead electric power line between | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Shenfield and Witham that caused the disruption. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
The damage initially was at Ingatestone and it carried | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
on all the way through to Chelmsford so obviously that affects | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
the whole line in the sense that because we need to switch the power | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
off to do the repairs for guys to safely do that, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
that means the whole line has to shut for a short period. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
The problem was fixed at eight o'clock this morning and a complete | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
service was expected this afternoon. Back then there was a second problem | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
on a part of the line near Chelmsford. I thought they had been | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
fixed. They needed more repairs. The train I was put on was cancelled, 40 | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
minutes delay on this one. The train drivers were not fully informed of | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
what was going on and were doing their best to help us. Greater | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Anglia see engineers have completed the repairs but commuters still | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
faced delays well into the evening as services resume. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Jonathan Denby is here from Greater Anglia. | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
Quite where not buses? There were a lot of long chains which carry | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
between 20,000, 25,000 people die in that corridor, to carry that same | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
number of people with coach and buses with deep in the region of | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
around 400 coaches or buses and there are not that amount of | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
cultures or bus is available to hire, and particularly not at that | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
short notice. What we did instead was at bicycle that was the case and | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
we advise people not to travel if they could avoid doing so. -- | :04:35. | :04:46. | |
instead was to advise people. We put on some buses between Witham and | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Stansted. There were a number of cultures, about 12, that helped some | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
people to get onto the West Anglia route which was operating normally. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
As many courses as we could deploy we did. But there is not the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
capacity to run the number of buses that would cover the number of genes | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
we run, so we avoided people not to travel, but that was the best | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
advice. Was it your fault? At this stage we do not know. We know that | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
wires were brought down and that blocks the line and required that | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
appears that were taking place. At this stage that is an investigation | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
going on. Network Rail are undertaking that and we shall | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
hopefully know before long what the underlying cause was, whether it was | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
to do with the train, vandalism, equipments. He started to get the | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
service back to normal and then you are going to one line again. What | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
was that about? There was concern is that we were going to suffer even | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
more damage to the overhead lines again. Network Rail thought it was | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
more prudent to close that line again, but additional appears, to | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
enable us to make sure we did not have more serious disruption. He | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
completed dose of beers, wines are now open, we are no running again, | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
but there are are still delays and disruption. Anybody thinking of | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
travelling this weekend, what is the prognosis? The expectation is we | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
will be back to normal service later this evening, overnight Network Rail | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
will do more repairs to make absolutely sure that that wires are | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
fully operational, and we would expect to have a complete service | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
over the weekend, and we are extremely sorry for the problems. | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
Thank you. Well, let's stay with the trains | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
for a moment, because some of the region's MPs got together | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
today to find out what's happening The upgrade of the Ely | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
junction has been promised But the message today was that | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
passengers will have It is probably the most | :06:40. | :06:51. | |
strategically important junction in the region. It certainly the most | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
congested. When will it be improved? This is a priority. Today, and other | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
real summit. Local politicians and business leaders pushing for the | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
work to start as soon as possible. This is hugely frustrating. It has a | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
lengthy process to it. We have got some money available and we would | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
like to see, get on with it. We allocate the money. There is this | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
big long process. The ?200 million junction improvement would make it | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
possible to run more trains from Kings Ltd Cambridge, on to London, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
and from Felixstowe and that switched to the Midlands. Their hope | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
is that the work could begin in 2019 in the new Network Rail budget cakes | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
and that officials told us to day that the project was complex and | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
they would not be ready to start by then. Although they insisted that | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
the junction remains a priority. This would generate ?500 million for | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the local area. It has to be done because we need to open up the line | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
to King 's Lynn to have good services, Norwich City Bridge, get | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
the lorries off our roads, get those onto freight trains. There is a huge | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
benefit to local people in doing this but it is a tortuous process. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
There was some positive news today. Trains running through Ely will have | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
more characters after the summer which should ease congestion. Local | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
businesses have come at ?8 million to pay for a scoping study in the | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
hope that it will speed up the design and planning process. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
There is a determination to see this junction upgraded but that decision | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
will be taken by Network Rail when it has that money and the plans in | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
place. The reality is that it is still likely to be several years | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
before we even have a start date for the work. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
of the serious problems in our hospitals. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
The Queen Elizabeth in King's Lynn has declared | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
because so many beds are occupied by people who are medically fit | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
a family got in touch to say an elderly woman | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
was denied her wish to die at home | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
Our chief reporter Kim Riley has just sent this. | :09:10. | :09:23. | |
The hospital today has been on the second-highest alert stage. All 408 | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
beds occupied. Extra medical and nursing | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
support has been brought in as the hospital opened | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
a number of stand-by beds. Up to a dozen extra beds | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
are available to help ease pressures brought | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
on by the cold spell. This is on a background | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
of an increasing number of patients coming to the department week upon | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
week, and a large number of patients in the hospital at the moment who | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
are medically fit for discharge but with very limited social care | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
capacity to go into. Large number of patients are | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
occupying beds. The so-called bed blocking | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
issue is central to the Meanwhile this man has | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
submitted a formal complaint The problem, getting it | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
to release his mother so she could come back | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
to She was about to celebrate her 60th | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
wedding anniversary. The family say they rejected | :10:20. | :10:40. | |
suggestions she should not They made it very clear | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
that she wanted to die at home. In December they were told | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
she was dying and a All day we were there. Every day. I | :10:51. | :11:04. | |
went with her in the ambulance. You went every afternoon. Every | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
afternoon. I promised her she would | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
never be put in a home. I wanted to be a family | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
and I wanted my mum, when she came to the end of her life, to be | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
with us and the hospital just made it so difficult for us | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
to bring my mum home. The family say they arranged | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
for a local care company to When I phoned the hospital | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
back and said, I can find carers, they are happy to give | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
us the number we want, this is the price, they said, they | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
cannot deal with them because they are not | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
on And if you use them yourself | :11:52. | :11:52. | |
you won't be funded. The Norfolk and Norwich | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
told us its teams worked tirelessly to help | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
patients return home. Due to the shortage of suitable | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
carers in certain areas like North Norfolk it can | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
at times take longer than it would wish, | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
it The family want an apology | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
from the hospital, devastated they could not deliver on Phyllis's | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
last Back here at the Queen Elizabeth | :12:14. | :12:14. | |
Hospital the critical incident was stood | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
down this afternoon. I'm told the hospital remains under | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
intense pressure and it appeals to people with minor | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
ailments to consider other options A woman has died in a fire | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
at a bungalow in Ipswich. Police and firefighters | :12:28. | :12:43. | |
were called to Reid Close just Two people had to be treated | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
for smoke inhalation after trying Investigators are working | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
to establish the cause of the fire. It is understood to have been | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
at the rear of the property. You're watching Look East | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
with Susie and me. Coming up next, the Queen is greeted | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
by Fiji warriors in Norfolk. Julie is here with your | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
weekend weather forecast. And a masterclass in ping pong - | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
from the world champion. The Queen received a warm welcome | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
today from crowds and Fijian warriors when she toured a museum | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
exhibition in Norwich. It was the Queen's first official | :13:30. | :13:43. | |
engagement since a heavy cold kept out of the spotlight since | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
Christmas. This was showcasing art from Fiji. | :13:52. | :14:03. | |
A traditional Fijian welcome. The crowd delighted to see Her Majesty | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
looking fit and well after her health problems over Christmas. I | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
like seeing the Queen because her clothes are pretty. And I love your | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
crown, did you make that yourself? Yes. You look royal. Well done. Will | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
you remember it for a long time? Yes, because we are allowed to keep | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
these flags. That is fantastic. One of the Fijian | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
warriors was a professional rugby player in a different guise. | :14:36. | :14:51. | |
Different from the day job. This is made from the bark of a tree. This | :14:52. | :15:05. | |
is an important symbol... When the Queen visited Fiji in 1953 she was | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
presented with a whale tooth, one of the artefacts now on display in the | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
exhibition. There is also a canoe which featured in celebrations last | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
year. There is a wedding dress which was | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
worn by the daughter of a high chief who married a relative of one of her | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
ladies in waiting. This is a Fijian who was part of the choir who sang | :15:43. | :15:54. | |
to the Queen. I am gobsmacked. Speaking to Her Majesty was an | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
honour. This is the largest exhibition about Fiji ever | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
assembled. Before she left the Queen met staff and students. Her | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
enthusiasm for the exhibition and her affection for the Commonwealth | :16:11. | :16:11. | |
country clear to all. Something a bit different now | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
because across the region today people have been marking | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Holocaust Memorial Day. the BBC has been telling the story | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
of one survivor of the death camps. and this is his account | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
of what happened You could see the squat chimneys | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
belching fire and smoke, sort of a sweet smelling smoke | :16:28. | :16:53. | |
of human bodies. The SS asked very politely, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
no dogs or whips or anything, they said, if you feel you aren't | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
quite fit, we can take Of course, some people did, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
the old and the disabled Of course they put them straight | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
into the gas chamber. I was extremely confused and not | :17:16. | :17:28. | |
terribly happy for the simple reason that for the first time, | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
we were separated. I was separated from my | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
parents and the parents My mother spotted me, | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
broke ranks, came over to me, I saw her then go along | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
this ramp and at the end Those who survived realised | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
that was into a gas chamber. Yes, the deadline's next | :17:53. | :18:05. | |
Tuesday at 11 o'clock. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy | :18:06. | :18:19. | |
is certainly working hard He's agreed a loan deal with former | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Newcastle defender Steven Taylor but not in time to play | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
at Preston tomorrow. Toumani Diagouraga could make | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
his debut after signing Preston meanwhile have turned down | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
a second bid for a reported ?2 million from Ipswich | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
for their striker Jordan Hugill. nothing concrete in terms | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
of transfer activity. Alex Neil will bring up his 100th | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
game in charge against Birmingham. The manager also confirmed | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
Louis Thompson's out Elsewhere, a couple of local | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
derbies to look forward to. In League One, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Peterborough host MK Dons. The Posh boss Grant McCann has | :18:53. | :18:53. | |
revealed he slept at the club's training ground after Tuesday's | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
defeat to Oldham. He said it was their worst | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
performance since he took charge. He'll be hoping for | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
better against MK. Derivate games are always great. We | :19:03. | :19:14. | |
have been good in their big games this season. We need to make sure we | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
do it again this Saturday. Looking forward to getting back in front of | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
our home supporters. The U's have been in good form | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
but are looking to bounce back It is massive. They are big games, | :19:24. | :19:35. | |
big games that everyone looks forward to. We have been involved in | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
to know. Their game against Luton earlier this season did not go our | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
way and we are disappointed about that and we want to go there and do | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
ourselves justice. Now, do you know the difference | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
between ping-pong and table tennis? Andrew Baggaley from | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Milton Keynes is an expert. After a decade as England's most | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
successful table tennis player And this weekend, he's looking | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
to make it a hat-trick. Welcome to the fast and furious | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
world of ping pong. In a corner of a sports hall | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
in Milton Keynes you will find the world champion who kindly agreed | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
to slow it down for me. The sound for one is a lot hollower | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
and then there is the kit. Explain the differences between ping | :20:19. | :20:38. | |
pong and table tennis. The main difference | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
is the equipment. A table tennis bat is with sponge | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
rubber as you can see there and the ping pong | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
bat is with sandpaper. How does that affect | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
the way you play? Table tennis is a very fast sport, | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
you get a lot of spin on the ball with the rubber and sandpaper | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
is a bit slower and also more A two-time Commonwealth | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
table tennis champion, Andrew Baggaley has won the last two | :21:01. | :21:09. | |
world ping pong titles The brainchild of | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
promoter Barry Hearn. A tournament still in its infancy | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
but watched by millions worldwide. It is just a phenomenal feeling | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
to win two world titles in a row and looking to try and see if I can | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
do it again. If you had to choose, | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
ping pong or table tennis? At the moment there is only one ping | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
pong tournament in a year so... My heart is with table tennis, | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
my heart is with ping pong so I love both of them, | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
I can't choose. This weekend the blue bat is boss | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
once again at Ally Pally. He'll be hoping it's best too | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
for a third time in a row. Norfolk's Alfie Hewett | :21:52. | :21:56. | |

Trouser roles, this is woman dressing as men on stage playing | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
Baroque roles. It is exploring the lives of people who did this as a | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
living. For a woman to break into that world in the 18th century, they | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
must have had to be strong willed. Yes, they were characters. This lady | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
here, she was a famous actress and singer in the 18th century. But her | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
career was destroyed through a sex scandal. Handel wrote the part in | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
Messiah for her and she never looked back. Why come here? It is home. | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
Last summer we had a fantastic time. They invited me to choose a | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
programme of my own. This is what I wanted to do. Good luck. You are | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
going to sing as a part from a Handel's Opera, another close rule. | :24:16. | :25:04. | |
Thank you very much. What a wonderful voice. Here is the | :25:05. | :25:16. | |
weather. Some parts of the region last night | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
fell as low as minus six. That meant fantastic weather watchers pictures. | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
It still has not thawed out at three o'clock this afternoon. | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
Plenty of blue sky on the Norfolk - Suffolk border. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
The thickest of the cloud will continue to feed up through tonight | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
and it is producing outbreaks of rain in places but most of the rain | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
to the night will be liked and patchy but we cannot rule out the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
odd heavy airburst here and there. Not as calls tonight. Nothing more | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
than two Celsius. Light to moderate sized to south-easterly winds. | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
Tomorrow's weather dependent on how quickly this weather front clears | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
out to the north Sea. Still uncertainty about how quickly it | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
will do that. At the modem looks like a cloudy start to the day. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
Further outbreaks of rain, most of it light and patchy. We are | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
expecting to hold onto a lot of cloud. Temperatures could be double | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
compared to today, seven or eight Celsius, closer to average. The | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
winds change to south to south-westerly. Sunshine in the | :26:34. | :26:43. | |
extreme West late on. For most of us it will be a cloudy day from start | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
to finish. On Sunday the weather dependent on how far north this | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
system spreads. We are not sure how fire officers going to get. The | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
further south you are in the region on Sunday the likelihood is you will | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
have a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain. Further north, may just stay | :27:03. | :27:11. | |
dry. Monday and Tuesday is a lot of cloud around. Monday perhaps light | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
rain and drizzle, largely dry. Tuesday more persistent rain late on | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
in the day. And check your barometer in the West, it should be 29.82 | :27:21. | :27:32. | |
inches of mercury, in the East, 29.88 inches of mercury. | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
That has flummoxed us. We know you understand the risks | :27:39. | :27:54. | |
associated with your pregnancy. | :27:55. | :27:58. |
