:00:00. > :00:15.Hello, I'm Tom Williams. for the team for
:00:16. > :00:18.The first privately-funded search operation for the missing airman
:00:19. > :00:20.Corrie McKeague has taken place today
:00:21. > :00:24.near to RAF Honington in Suffolk where he was based.
:00:25. > :00:26.Corrie went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds
:00:27. > :00:31.Today's search was paid for by the McKeague family,
:00:32. > :00:33.and was nothing to do with Suffolk Police.
:00:34. > :00:39.Corrie's mum gathered her army of volunteers together to set out
:00:40. > :00:44.in search of Corrie, a search entirely paid for by donations.
:00:45. > :00:48.The amount of people that have contacted me,
:00:49. > :00:52.hundreds of people have contacted me saying they wanted to come out
:00:53. > :00:55.and search and hundreds more have said they can't do it this time
:00:56. > :01:00.but they want to come another time and it absolutely blows me away.
:01:01. > :01:04.Today's search covered an area of 50 square miles,
:01:05. > :01:08.locations not yet searched by the police.
:01:09. > :01:13.There are around 60 people out looking for Corrie this morning
:01:14. > :01:16.and so they can cover as much ground as possible, they've now split up
:01:17. > :01:23.It's now been 12 weeks since Corrie Mckeague went missing
:01:24. > :01:26.and despite sightings on CCTV, officers are no nearer discovering
:01:27. > :01:33.So today's search is testing one theory about his disappearance.
:01:34. > :01:37.The scenario we are working out today is that he has been hit
:01:38. > :01:42.by a car, somebody has put him in a car and maybe quite genuinely
:01:43. > :01:45.thought he was injured but unfortunately it has
:01:46. > :01:48.turned out worse than that and they've dumped him somewhere.
:01:49. > :01:52.They are all areas throughout the Kings Forest that you can get
:01:53. > :01:56.to with a vehicle that you could quite easily get rid
:01:57. > :02:01.But there is no evidence to support any theory
:02:02. > :02:08.Corrie's family admit hope is fading but while there is hope,
:02:09. > :02:16.On to the football today and David McGoldrick came off
:02:17. > :02:20.the bench to score the winner for Ipswich at Wigan.
:02:21. > :02:23.McGoldrick's goal came two minutes from time.
:02:24. > :02:26.Brett Pitman scored Town's other goals to lift them to 15th
:02:27. > :02:31.Meanwhile Norwich manager Alex Neil insists he won't quit despite a 7th
:02:32. > :02:34.defeat in nine Championship games last night.
:02:35. > :02:38.Huddersfield took an early lead but Jonny Howson made it 1-1 before
:02:39. > :02:40.the visitors wrapped up the points before half-time.
:02:41. > :02:43.Neil was booed by sections of fans at the final whistle.
:02:44. > :02:47.In League One today, victory for Peterborough
:02:48. > :02:48.maintained their place in the play-offs.
:02:49. > :02:51.Hot on their heels are in-form Southend,
:02:52. > :02:55.The Blues are up to 7th are beating Oldham.
:02:56. > :02:58.Elsewhere MK Dons and Northampton were both beaten.
:02:59. > :03:00.And in League Two it'll be a merry Christmas
:03:01. > :03:06.Luton are 5th after winning at Blackpool.
:03:07. > :03:09.Cambridge, who were in the relegation zone not long ago,
:03:10. > :03:13.have roared into a play-off place after a 2-1 win over Crewe.
:03:14. > :03:17.Colchester saw off Notts County, also 2-1.
:03:18. > :03:19.On to rugby, in a couple of hours Northampton will kick off
:03:20. > :03:24.in Dublin against Leinster in the European Champions Cup,
:03:25. > :03:26.hoping to make amends after last week's thrashing.
:03:27. > :03:30.Saints lost 37-10 last Friday at home.
:03:31. > :03:33.They also lost Dylan Hartley to a six-week ban after his dismissal,
:03:34. > :03:35.so the boss is under the microscope.
:03:36. > :03:37.It's challenging, lots of pressure, lots of different
:03:38. > :03:49.And the main one is we are not winning games and that is
:03:50. > :03:53.what I have to try to address to really get those lads getting out
:03:54. > :03:57.there, improving the way that we are playing.
:03:58. > :04:00.And one result, defeat for Bedford in the British and Irish Cup.
:04:01. > :04:05.They lost to Ealing by 40 points to 23.
:04:06. > :04:11.It has been dry so far this weekend and we are expecting it to be dry
:04:12. > :04:14.Overnight we will see some fog forming.
:04:15. > :04:17.Through this evening and overnight, some patches of fog already
:04:18. > :04:19.starting to form and that fog becomes dense by the early
:04:20. > :04:25.That could make for some very tricky driving conditions first thing,
:04:26. > :04:28.so do take care if you're out and about on the roads.
:04:29. > :04:31.Fog will lift through the day, we will see a little bit
:04:32. > :04:35.On balance, it will certainly feel a little bit chillier than recently
:04:36. > :04:39.and highs of no more than 7 or 8 Celsius.
:04:40. > :04:42.Over the next couple of days, we do actually hang onto a lot
:04:43. > :04:45.of dry weather, but it always stays on the chilly side.
:04:46. > :04:49.On Sunday we see highs of 8 Celsius, on Monday highs of just 6 Celsius
:04:50. > :04:51.and as we head towards the middle of the week,
:04:52. > :04:53.we can see those night-time temperatures starting to drop
:04:54. > :05:04.OK, that's it. We're back tomorrow at 5:30pm and 11:20pm, enjoy your
:05:05. > :05:07.Saturday night, goodbye.
