Hello, and welcome to the Look East late news.

:00:00.:00:00.

In the programme tonight: Sadly missed and never forgotten.

:00:00.:00:00.

The families of three teenagers killed in a car crash

:00:00.:00:08.

And the life-like sculptures causing controversy

:00:09.:00:14.

And join me at the end of the programme for the latest

:00:15.:00:21.

The families of three teenagers who died in a car crash in Norfolk

:00:22.:00:33.

The accident, near Pulham Market, happened just over a week ago.

:00:34.:00:39.

An inquest into their deaths was also opened today.

:00:40.:00:43.

18-year-old Dominic O'Neill, 17-year-old Karl Warren,

:00:44.:00:50.

All three lives ended when the black Ford KA crashed and burst

:00:51.:00:59.

into flames near the village of Pulham Market.

:01:00.:01:04.

Now all that remains are burnt hedges lined with flowers.

:01:05.:01:07.

Speaking just after the crash, friends paid tribute.

:01:08.:01:10.

He was the kind of person that everyone loved.

:01:11.:01:14.

He was kind, he was there for everyone and he made sure

:01:15.:01:17.

As you can see by all the flowers, all three boys

:01:18.:01:22.

Today, all three families joined in the tributes.

:01:23.:01:28.

Kyle, who worked as a farm hand, was described by his family

:01:29.:01:32.

as a cheeky chappie who had a passion for banger

:01:33.:01:34.

racing, where he brought from several trophies.

:01:35.:01:38.

Dominic's mother, Davina O'Neill, discredit has a beautiful,

:01:39.:01:46.

much-loved person who will be greatly missed.

:01:47.:01:48.

Billy's family said from the day he was born he made everyone smile.

:01:49.:01:51.

Today, inquests into all three their deaths were opened.

:01:52.:01:58.

Norfolk's senior coroner recorded the cause of death for all three

:01:59.:02:02.

as multiple injuries that were caused by the crash.

:02:03.:02:04.

No information was given as to who was driving

:02:05.:02:08.

the vehicle, and inquest was adjourned until July.

:02:09.:02:10.

Following the accident, a memorial to the trio and a book

:02:11.:02:16.

of condolence were set up in the local church.

:02:17.:02:19.

Last Friday, friends spontaneously gathered at an airfield,

:02:20.:02:23.

releasing Chinese lanterns in memory of the three teenagers.

:02:24.:02:28.

Teenagers that suddenly had their lives cut short.

:02:29.:02:33.

Bird flu restrictions may have been lifted today,

:02:34.:02:35.

but Government experts are warning poultry farmers to be

:02:36.:02:38.

Producers were ordered to shut their birds inside in early

:02:39.:02:45.

December to try to protect them from the H5N8 strain of avian flu.

:02:46.:02:49.

Alex Dunlop reports now on what the impact has

:02:50.:02:52.

They should be free range, but these chickens have never

:02:53.:02:56.

This is what chickens would do in the wild.

:02:57.:03:04.

The region's biggest free-range poulty producer has a million

:03:05.:03:09.

For four months they have all had to stay undercover.

:03:10.:03:15.

The birds may have been released today, but Defra say this

:03:16.:03:19.

Farmers are not out of the woods yet.

:03:20.:03:24.

As you can see from the way I am togged up, strict bio-security

:03:25.:03:27.

measures are in place, and will be for the

:03:28.:03:29.

We have restrcted access to our farms.

:03:30.:03:34.

We are certainly not loosening our belts now and saying,

:03:35.:03:38.

thank goodness, this is all over and done with, because it

:03:39.:03:41.

At this popular wildlife park nearby, a more colourful release,

:03:42.:03:45.

Until today, 700 birds here have had to live under netting over winter.

:03:46.:03:54.

With every chance of bird flu could return next autumn,

:03:55.:03:56.

these businesses will have to think long term on how to deal with it.

:03:57.:04:00.

Should it become endemic, should it come back again, we need

:04:01.:04:04.

to be able to house our birds far quicker than we were able to,

:04:05.:04:07.

so that means probably leaving some of temporary structures we got

:04:08.:04:13.

in place now up, or even looking to make some of the more permanent.

:04:14.:04:16.

The risk from the H5N8 strain comes from wild birds.

:04:17.:04:19.

By now, many will have migrated, so the biggest threat has passed.

:04:20.:04:23.

There was only one outbreak of bird flu in the east at this time,

:04:24.:04:27.

Restrictions were then relaxed in the white areas

:04:28.:04:34.

It's meant free-range egg producer Daniel could put his hens out,

:04:35.:04:42.

I think they have taking a compass, put it in a map, and done circles

:04:43.:04:48.

wherever they have felt like doing them.

:04:49.:04:50.

I think, as Daniel said, there is no bird flu at the present

:04:51.:04:57.

moment in East Anglia, so why are we being punished?

:04:58.:05:00.

Of course we feel for those whose businesses are made much more

:05:01.:05:03.

difficult by disease control measures, but without them we could

:05:04.:05:08.

It is important to every individual not to get diseased but also

:05:09.:05:12.

Bird flu isn't new, of course, but it is a deadly strain that

:05:13.:05:17.

In a sector worth ?120 million in the east alone, they know all too

:05:18.:05:23.

well it will almost certainly return to our shores.

:05:24.:05:29.

More and more people are trespassing on railway tracks in this region.

:05:30.:05:34.

The latest figures from the British Transport Police

:05:35.:05:36.

show that most offenders are young people.

:05:37.:05:40.

And it's during the school holidays that the number

:05:41.:05:42.

After stumbling across the tracks, this person dragged himself up onto

:05:43.:05:50.

the platform, struggling to get their legs

:05:51.:05:54.

And here is footage of another heart-stopping near miss.

:05:55.:06:04.

Network Rail and the British Transport

:06:05.:06:06.

Police say more people are trespassing on the railways

:06:07.:06:08.

is young people who are most likely to take a risk.

:06:09.:06:14.

There are more incidents in the Easter and summer

:06:15.:06:16.

Last year, 487 people were caught trespassing in

:06:17.:06:21.

Network Rail describes the increase as astonishing.

:06:22.:06:28.

Boys aged 14 to 16 are the biggest offenders.

:06:29.:06:32.

When I see this footage I always gasp.

:06:33.:06:35.

I can't believe how close some of it is.

:06:36.:06:39.

I always think of the train drivers that can't

:06:40.:08:19.

I really did think that it was someone who was going

:08:20.:08:21.

I feel like it's quite controversial and quite shocking,

:08:22.:08:26.

and I feel like that as a sort of thing that we need, and like,

:08:27.:08:29.

I think it is probably a very nice statue but probably

:08:30.:08:34.

I think it's a cool new way of doing things.

:08:35.:08:38.

I think they are pretty cool, but I can understand why

:08:39.:08:42.

they might startle someone, especially if they haven't been

:08:43.:08:44.

I don't know if I'd pointing that out to my sun because he might find

:08:45.:08:53.

that a bit frightening, to be honset.

:08:54.:08:56.

The artist says the statue's call upon the connections

:08:57.:09:00.

between the palpable, the perceivable and the imaginable.

:09:01.:09:02.

And they have appeared on top of buildings across the world.

:09:03.:09:05.

Their prompted calls to the police and Sao Paulo and further

:09:06.:09:10.

The University of East Anglia said it's...

:09:11.:09:25.

It is hoped that the sculptures, which are part of an exhibition

:09:26.:09:28.

by the Sainsbury Centre, will pave the way for more

:09:29.:09:37.

internationally renowned to artist to show their work in the region.

:09:38.:09:39.

The sculptures will be on display for the next five years.

:09:40.:09:42.

Coming up now, the Easter weekend weather with Alex,

:09:43.:09:45.

but from the rest of the late team, goodnight.

:09:46.:09:55.

The Easter weekend is upon us so what can we expect from the weather?

:09:56.:10:03.

Not as good as last week and. A rather cool forecast. There will be

:10:04.:10:10.

some sunshine around the also some rain. It will become the night and

:10:11.:10:15.

mass night but we may start to see a few spots of rain by the very end of

:10:16.:10:19.

the night. Jim may wake up to rather damp and cloudy conditions. Through

:10:20.:10:22.

the day, we have a weather system coming in from the north-west and

:10:23.:10:25.

that is going to eventually bring and more prolonged spells during the

:10:26.:10:33.

day. The morning doesn't look too bad. With the south-westerly wind,

:10:34.:10:39.

slightly milder air so temperatures could well climb into the mid teens.

:10:40.:10:44.

They will be a noticeable breeze from the south-west. As we get into

:10:45.:10:47.

the afternoon and evening, increasing chance of that ring

:10:48.:10:53.

crossing all counties. He is the outlook. A fresher forecast for

:10:54.:10:57.

Saturday but it was like it will stay sunny and largely dry

:10:58.:11:03.

We will keep you updated. Now with the National Outlook, Tomasz

:11:04.:11:04.
