Jakonson on his novel about Donald Trump. Here on BBC One, it's time

for Hello and welcome to

the Look East late news. In the programme tonight: Relief

as our free range poultry producers are told bird flu restrictions

will be lifted on Thursday. Fire crews at full stretch

after the hottest weekend of the year brings a spate

of fires. I will have the Easter forecast and

the weather for the week ahead. Free range poultry farmers and egg

producers have welcomed the news that restrictions

following the outbreak of bird flu

are to be lifted. Poultry in high-risk

areas, including parts have had to be housed

indoors since December. In February, 20,000 chickens

were culled following an outbreak Last month, a precautionary cull

of 55,000 ducks took place But late this afternoon Defra

announced that the restrictions For four months farmers have

lived on thier nerves. The H5N8 strain of avian flu

is so deadly that any poultry that The risk comes from wild birds,

and with the arrival of spring many have migrated,

and other wild waterfowl are now breeding, and so the biggest

threat has passed. There was only one official bird flu

outbreak in the region, at this farm in Redgrave,

20,000 chickens were culled. Days later, ducks at a unit nearby

were culled after avian flu Since then it has been quiet

and so within three days poultry But Defa warn that this doesn't

mean business as usual. Poultry keepers will still have

to observe strict bio-security measures, and a ban on poultry

gatherings and remains The risk is diminished but not gone

away, and poultry producers can only hope next time

round it is not as severe. Mark Gorton is the regions biggest

free range poultry producer, I asked him what impact

the restrictions have This is a situation that has

not been of our making I think it is fair to say

the general public have also supported us and continue

to buy our products. Do you think Defra have dealt

with this in the correct way? Because when those restrictions

were first imposed there It is understandable

what they have done, but of course wild birds don't

recognise zones, and as far as our business is concerned,

we have had the birds at farms inside the zone and outside

the zones, so the decision that Defra made to create these different

zones did cause a lot of confusion and misunderstanding

amongst everybody. Defra has interestingly said today

even though the restrictions will be lifted on Thursday this does not

mean business as usual. Just because we have let the birds

out or we will let the birds out, it does not mean we can relax

and say that is it. You know, bird flu is a constant

threat to our business and at all times we have to be

vigilant of that, and so that is Are you saying that bird flu is just

something the industry is now It will not go away and it

will be back next year, perhaps with a different form,

but it is something we're going to have to work together

to come up with a plan as to how we will tackle this next year

and going forward for the future. The police in Essex say

they are very concerned for the welfare of a three

year-old-girl who has gone missing in the area around Clacton

and Jaywick Peggie Happer was last seen

on the 4th of April. The police believe Peggie may not be

receiving the care she needs because Lisa Douglas

and James Happer are believed to be

involved with drugs. The lifestyle Peggy's mum and dad

lead is what leaves me We need to make sure

she is receiving the care and We believe that Peggy

is in the Jaywick area of Clacton-on-Sea

with both her mum and her dad, and I appeal to

the tight community of Jaywick

officers is warning people to take Some of them are being

treated as suspicious, but others are thought to be

the result of carelessness The view from a car

on this roundabout as an intense blaze took hold

of the petrol station shop

on Saturday morning. Last October the owner reopened

after a major refurbishment, and this afternoon the damage

was being assessed. By the time the Fire Service

arrived the fire was well established and broke

through into the roof and smoke was billowing across

the A11, and the road was Five fire crews eventually

brought the blaze under control, which was believed

to have been caused by an electrical fault

in a refrigeration unit. On Saturday night six

fire crews tackled destroyed but they managed to stop

the flames spreading to a nearby thatched cottage,

and no I think some of the major fires

in fact, and we have had three major fires

over the weekend, are unconnected with

However, some of our minor fires, and we had two

substantial gorse fires, I

think can be attributed to people getting out

there and enjoying the

weather and perhaps carelessly discarding smoking materials or,

sadly, deliberately setting fire to some areas

In Newmarket families were returning to an evacuated block

of flats this morning, but only to pick up possessions.

Exterior damage appeared minimal, but smoke spread

between the walls to flats in the front on the building.

Devastating, I've got nothing left, all the walls have been pulled down,

everything is water damaged and

That is my home and we have nothing left.

With some flats likely to be out of bounds for weeks,

It is a highly unusual set of circumstances,

with no firm conclusions yet, but the cause does not

Coming up now the weather with Julie.

But from the rest of the late team, goodnight.

Still the chance of isolated shower but for most it is a dry night with

clear spells and will be a chilly one. Some sports could drop closer

to freezing. And we could get some ground frost, the morning. A cold

start but fine and dry with some cloud and spells of sunshine. The

wind picking up three moderate westerly by the afternoon. Blustery

end to the day with more in the way of cloud for the evening. Wednesday,

this cold front pushing down from the north and so after a fine and

dry start some thicker cloud and outbreaks of mainly light and patchy

rain for some. Another blustery day on Wednesday. Towards the end of the

week our influenced by this weather front moving erratically towards us

watch is proving a headache when it comes to working out what will

happen over the Easter weekend. One or two showers and quite a lot of

cloud and Good Friday will be drive from most of the day with some

spells of sunshine, the rain is not expected to spread down until later

on. I will leave you with the outlook for Easter weekend, and we

could have some rain frosting on Saturday but that should clear truly

scattered showers on Saturday, Sunday

Good evening. Let's cut to the chase the first big holiday weekend of the

year is on the horizon and if you consider last weekend as a taster

for the summer, this weekend is not looking too bad. It will be a bit

cooler, temperatures this week and closer to where they should be at

this time of the year thanks to the north-west breed and the reason for

that, if we look at the jet stream, coming across the Atlantic pushing

from north to south -- north-west breeze. It separates the high

pressure and low price and it allows the northerly airflow to develop. It

means there will be some showers going into Easter weekend but they

will only be a small portion of the weekend wherever you are and there

will be some dry weather and when the sun is out, it is getting

stronger so it will
