In the programme tonight: news teams where you are.

Hundreds of people spill on to the streets

to remember a teenager killed with two friends in a car crash.

New hope for alleged computer hacker Lauri Love who faces

extradition to the US Suspended for two years.

It is not just about my future but about the general principles about

crimes committed in the UK. the chief fire officer

of Essex is dismissed, despite a report which found no

evidence of misconduct. And I'll bring you details of the

Tour of Britain cycle race, with the world's top riders tackling the seat

of Sussex. Hundreds of people spilled

on to the streets of a small town today to say goodbye to a friend

and loved one who was killed Kyle Warren, who was 17,

died along with Billy Hines and Dominic O'Neill when the car

they were in came off the road Today, a convoy of lorries

carried his coffin to the church It has certainly been a day filled

with a mixture of emotions. To the back of his father's glory really

had, for a lot of people. When the service began, we had a lot of Kyle

Warren fearful music and we started to note the character he was, the

cheeky chappie he was. A surprising as the choice of music was, it was

actually an uplifting moment and reminded us why we read here.

At 11am, the town of Harleston came to a standstill,

as father and son made one last journey together.

Followed by a convoy of lorries from his

haulage company, Daniel Warren took his 17-year-old son's coffin

The Banger Racer theme tune played as

The church is currently full of some of Kyle's friends and

family, of course, but if you look behind me, 70, 80 people have

decided to stand outside the church to not only listen to the service

but to listen to some of Kyle's favourite tracks.

Kyle died with two of his friends, 16-year-old Billy Hines,

and 18-year-old Dominic O'Neill, when the Black Ford KA

they were travelling and came off the road and headed tree in pool

Not so long ago, friends gathered at an airfield

to release Chinese lanterns in their memory.

Today, the gathered to say goodbye to Kyle.

Overwhelmed by the amount of people who turned out?

And both families were well loved, and, yeah, it is very hard.

Because they are popular to hand, and my kids all

I met him a few years ago at the fair, and, yeah, he was

I will never forget the memories we had with him.

As a former Archbishop SangCroft high

student, it is not just friends and families we will miss him.

We had only 370 students, so it is really like a big

family, so when we lose three, we lose a big part of our community.

It is not over for the friends and sendoff for a student,

It is not over for the friends and family who came here today. Kyle

Warren was one of three who died in the accident. The funeral Billy

Hines will take place this Thursday, the funeral of 18-year-old Dominic

O'Neill will take place at Pulham Market chart on Tuesday May the 2nd.

The chief fire officer of Essex has been sacked today

David Johnson was suspended two years ago, a suspension that

has cost the tax payer at least ?600,000.

A previous report seemed to show no evidence of misconduct.

After two years been suspended his position, David Johnson has today

been sacked. It was only last year there was criticism over how much

time and money the fire servers were spending investigating its own chief

fire officer. The cost of a fully crewed finer point is about

?900,000. I'm guessing that is about the range they have spent on this.

You could have protected the communities of Essex for the same

money that they have pretty much wasted and prevaricating and not

carrying out an investigation and carrying out an investigation and

what should've been a timely fashion. David Johnson was accused

of picking luxury and said a budget accommodation for a conference and

failing to get enough notice a big annual leave. In January, the BBC

contained a confidential report that appeared to clear him of any

wrongdoing. Over the last two years, the Fire authority has been

reluctant to comment saying it didn't want to find a confidential

report that appeared to clear him of any wrongdoing. Over the last two

years, the Fire authority has been reluctant to comment saying it

didn't want to find a fair with how long the case has taken and with its

outcome. Sam Dalton from BBC Essex

has been following this Late this afternoon, she told me

after a disciplinary process, we after a disciplinary process, we

have received the following statement from the chairman of the

fire authority, which I will read to you, but says, with immediate

dismissed as chief fire officer for dismissed as chief fire officer for

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The dispersal follows our

robust process and compliance with a lot analyst to statutory officers.

Does this mean the going to to pay him off? It is unclear what will

happen in terms of their finances. However, my understanding is that he

won't receive a payoff with an immediate dismissal. We do know

about the finances that it has cost the taxpayer in Essex at least

offer's obtained through freedom of offer's obtained through freedom of

information. It relates to his salary and the salary of those who

effectively acted up around him to fulfil his duties while he has been

on suspension. We don't know how much the legal costs of this process

has taken. This service and Essex has not disclose that information to

others. The fire union that I have spoken to in relation to this

believe that because of the legal fees could run into hundreds of

thousands if not millions of pounds and addition to the cost of the

salaries. Have we had from Mr Johnson? Not directly, however I do

have a statement from a spokesman on behalf of them. It is as follows.

David has been subject of a biased David has been subject of a biased

process for three years. The outcome of which the term of wrong doing. At

this stage, David has still not had this stage, David has still not had

that typifies their attitude towards that typifies their attitude towards

him that the public should know by the CROWD: Before he does. The next

depth is legal action. An alleged computer hacker

from Suffolk has been given permission to appeal

against his extradition Lauri Love, who's 32

and has Asperger syndrome, is accused of stealing top-secret

data from US agencies. The Home Secretary ruled

that he should be extradited. But his lawyers will now challenge

that decision at the High Court. There have been many laws along the

way for Lauri Love in this battle against extradition. This was one of

them last September, their argument failing to impress a district judge.

And then weeks later, came this. After Home Secretary Amber Rudd's

signature gave approval for things signature gave approval for things

to proceed. Winger's legal team wasted no time lodging an appeal.

Tonight, at the family home, he, it was at positive moment. They said

this case raises issues of great importance, and furthermore they

have allowed the human Right act to intervene. It is not just about my

future but it is about the general principle that the UK will should be

sufficient to prosecute crimes committed in the UK. He is accused

of hacking the computers of top-level organisations such as the

Federal reserve, the FBI, and Nasa. The incident happened in 2012 and

2013. If convicted, the jail term could run to the best part of a

century. There are various grounds to appeal, he has been granted

permission on all grounds. One of them as has Asperger's. There is

worries about how he would be treated in prison with Asperger's.

Lauri Love believes if the appeal is back, the Americans could drop their

demand for exhibition. There is also the possibility of moving on to the

Supreme Court. Without hope, with what do we have? He believes

extradition would be wholly wrong, but he would welcome a trial, as

long as it is on UK soil. Essex's longest-serving MP

Sir Alan Haselhurst has announced he won't be standing in the General

Election. Sir Alan has represented

Saffron Walden for 40 years. At 79, he is currently

the oldest Conservative MP. Still to come tonight: Many

people woke up to snow Alex will be here to tell us

what the coming days have in store. And the pharmaceuticals giant

Astranzenica is investing ?330 million to base

its new headquarters in Cambridge. What will this mean

for science in the East? It's a week since the Prime Minister

Theresa May surprised the country And with the country set to go

to the polls on June the 8th, much of the focus has

been on Westminster. But before that, we've

got the County Council Here's Simon Dedman with the first

of a series of reports on what these skill line is complicated. She has

entered a capital coalition. Pragmatic car pool, listen. The new

rules on carpal buses means you have to love over females from the

nearest secondary skill to get a free seat on the bus. We have

travelled 500 yards from my house DQ, and my son's friend is entitled

to free transport and my son isn't. They could still take the bus, but

Mahmood have to pay ?700 per year. Lisa will be sending her youngest

son to school and Stanley. That is the nearest school, but lesson 200

goal. It is unfair. It is a money goal. It is unfair. It is a money

spinner for them. They have raised the council tax, but we are still

having to take children to school. So what are the policies? The

reality is, we provide free transport to the nearest school. If

you choose to go to a different school, that is your choice, but as

consequences, and the consequent is, consequences, and the consequent is,

you pay. We believe that all school transport ought to be funded by the

county council because and rural areas, you love those you love. You

can't help but this still happens to be. We would reinstate free school

transport, but we want to go farther than that and at the bring in a free

bus pass for young people. We want to see the cycling strategy and

plumbing to so we have a holistic policy on transport to schools. You

get doesn't actually have a policy as far as school transport is

concerned. We have policy as far as grammar skills as concern, but my

personal take is that no child should be disadvantage in their

education by virtue of the fact that they live too far from a skill to be

able to get their reasonably on their own. We want to make it much

more easy and accessible to get parents to get their children to

school safely. That means having the public transport available when it

is required, but also making it safe to walk and cycle. Over the past

four years, the Conservative administration has said as not what

Essex council can do for years but what you can do for yourself, and

then return it is offered one of the lowest council tax rates in the east

of England. But there have had to make ?500 billion worth of savings.

This has led to cut including to school transport subsidies. Voters

like Lisa and weighing up the quality of county council services

and how much they pay. And just over a week, it is make your mind up

time. Tomorrow we moved to suffer, one of the big topics as potholes.

For those who might be questioning why they should bother to vote,

our reporter Robby West has made a very different kind of film

explaining the importance of local elections.

From litter in your local park, to how often you bin bags are

collected, these are decisions local councils make every day.

The local authority has a key role in how much

That includes care for the elderly...

There is more evidence today of how important this region

The plans are to start moving those 2000 people and to our

The building will feature open laboratories and glass

The referendum result made no difference to AstraZeneca's

determination to see this project through.

Whether it is it successful, will be a big test of

whether the drugs industry can live with Brexit.

Dr Andy Williams is a vice president for AstraZeneca.

I asked him about the company's decision to move to Cambridge.

How significant would it be for the region and its life

We are certainly seeing further development of the cluster

to the south of Cambridge, we know about the

tech corridor going up to Norwich, the developments to the life science

and agritech culture there, and

we really believe this could be the region

where life sciences is the

most important for the UK and possibly the world.

AstraZeneca chose to come to Cambridge before

Are you still as committed to Cambridge as you were before?

You can see the building behind us as testament

We have also moved well over 2000 people into the Cambridge

area now, and hoping to bring more in the future.

I think, as long as the Brexit negotiations go well, and

that people continue to be excited about the science in Cambridge and

wish to come to Cambridge to do science, then there is no reason why

the region can't develop moving forward.

And there will be personalised medicines.

Medicines which are given to a smaller

transform the lives of the patients who take them.

I wonder if you were one of the thousands of people

who turned out to watch the Tour of Britain cycle race when it came

There were big crowds in Norfolk and Suffolk to watch some

With a whole stage taking place in Suffolk for the first time,

and a separate time trial event starting and finishing in Clacton.

Tom Williams is in Newmarket where the racing will get underway.

He is being held on. I really hope this cyclist get better conditions.

We have at all four seasons in the last five minutes. We are used to

equine stars with four legs being the centre of intention here, but

later on it will be sport stars on later on it will be sport stars on

two wheels and a very different type of saddle that will be stealing the

headlines. The race starts outside this club. They will expect

thousands to line the streets, hopefully in the sunshine. Come

September the 8th, at which will go biking mad. An undercurrent of

cycling gripping below is a wild's best riders prepared to speak

through Suffolk's streets. A description of cycling and tourism

in general. Getting people to Suffolk has got to be a good thing.

It is Britain's Premier Road race. Last year two years ago, it

attracted all the big names. We are expecting something like ?2 million

to be spent in the county on that day. That is excellent. It is a

fantastic spectator sport. There will be something like 220,000

people watching. When you consider Wembley Stadium only holds 90,000,

it is an enormous number of people. They state that a new market,

heading to parry. 100 and 30 miles out to the coast. It Pacitti towns

and villages. It is also about finding this picturesque areas.

There aren't any more picturesque areas than there are in Suffolk.

What sort of challenges you think the riders will face? I don't think

there'll be too many mountain stages, but the flat stages will be

quick. 24 hours earlier, Essex host stage five. It is a short estate at

just ten miles, starting and ending in Clacton. It will be a fantastic

time for people to see the top cyclist up close. Also, leading on

from this, we hope to leave a legacy in the area and encourage people to

get more active and take up cycling. This region has become one of the

two's favourite destinations. Two more starts, two more chances to

shine. So a big summer ahead. This cyclist will be under starter's

orders and September. Thank you Tom. I think that is what the weather

would call a wintry shareware. Although there was some sunshine

around today, we can expect a week of sunshine, some wintry showers and

some frosty nights particular tomorrow night is going to be the

sharpest frost of the cold snap. This was the scene and Cambridge

this morning. We are going to see scenes like that again tomorrow.

Despite the lovely weather and sunshine, it did feel bitterly cold

sent an hear from Suffolk. This is a sent an hear from Suffolk. This is a

lovely wintry showers for you in somebody's garden. As's we can see a

scattering of showers across the region. They will continue this

evening and overnight and it is possible we will have street

arsenal. You may wake up to a light dusting tomorrow morning. There

might be ice in the early hours of tomorrow morning. This is a

prediction of rebels showers made for all, most places are likely to

see each other. Temperature wise, we'll be close to freezing if not

below. Certainly a cold and frosty start to the day. We have called air

moving southwards, there's weather feature clusters. It'll be a similar

day in terms of that cold northerly wind and showers moving and from the

north sea through the day. Some sunshine and between, but not

feeling warm and that sunshine with that north-westerly wind.

Temperature is about eight or 9 degrees so still feeling quite cold.

In the afternoon, showers continue, but they should buy off and the

evening. Clear skies for much of tomorrow night. It could be several

degrees below freezing so gardeners beware. A better that chefs coming

away, it better the chefs coming away. There will be a bright start

to Thursday with some outbreaks of rain. Temperatures are expected to

recover from Friday and into the weekend. A little bit of uncertainty

into the bank holiday weekend.
