:00:41. > :00:44.One of our leading turkey producers says outbreaks can be

:00:45. > :00:49.Bird flu is a big concern for all of us all the time.

:00:50. > :00:52.There has been an outbreak in Lincolnshire and we've been

:00:53. > :00:55.discussing this as an industry for many months now.

:00:56. > :00:56.There has been an outbreak in mainland Europe.

:00:57. > :01:00.And it's just a matter of, not if it comes to the UK,

:01:01. > :01:02.the reality is when it comes to the UK.

:01:03. > :01:06.This is a massive industry in the east.

:01:07. > :01:09.We produce 107 million eggs a year and a quarter

:01:10. > :01:17.A sector worth ?640 million per year.

:01:18. > :01:20.The region's last big bird flu outbreak was in 2007,

:01:21. > :01:27.Thousands of birds had to be slaughtered but the firm has said it

:01:28. > :01:31.has intense bio-security already in place and is complying

:01:32. > :01:37.Two weeks ago, Defra ruled all poultry and captive birds had

:01:38. > :01:41.to be kept indoors to stop them getting infected by wild ones,

:01:42. > :01:47.It is killing both wild birds and domestic poultry,

:01:48. > :01:50.so it is a very serious threat to birds but not to people

:01:51. > :01:53.and Public Health England have said the threat to public health is low.

:01:54. > :01:56.Back in Lincolnshire, officials are investigating

:02:22. > :02:23.Exactly 12 weeks after Corrie went missing on a night

:02:24. > :02:26.out in Bury St Edmunds, this was the first search organised

:02:31. > :02:33.The Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue members plus 30

:02:34. > :02:37.members of the public all gave their time voluntarily.

:02:38. > :02:40.They concentrated on an area near RAF Honington called

:02:41. > :02:44.King's Forest, which hasn't been searched by the police.

:02:45. > :02:47.No trace that Corrie was found, but there's still a lot

:02:48. > :02:52.We have other areas in mind that we could.

:02:53. > :02:55.In fact, there's still the very large areas of King's Forest

:02:56. > :03:01.Not all areas got completed, so therefore there is completion

:03:02. > :03:07.This latest search was based on the theory that Corrie Mckeague

:03:08. > :03:11.may have been hit by a car on his way back from Bury St Edmunds

:03:12. > :03:15.to his base at Honington and his body left in the woods.

:03:16. > :03:17.Hundreds of people had volunteered to help,

:03:18. > :03:20.but only a small number were selected, to keep

:03:21. > :03:31.Corrie's mother, Nicola Urquhart, has said she won't stop searching.

:03:32. > :03:34.As you may have seen, Andy Murray won the BBC's Sports Personality

:03:53. > :03:56.for winning the BBC Young Sports Personality award.

:03:57. > :03:59.And the Suffolk soprano Laura Wright sang a tribute to those sports stars

:04:00. > :04:07.To the weather now with Ashling Creevey.

:04:08. > :04:10.We start the new working week on a foggy note.

:04:11. > :04:13.The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for some

:04:14. > :04:16.To start off tomorrow morning, plenty of mist and fog

:04:17. > :04:21.Do take care if you are out and about on the roads.

:04:22. > :04:23.Make sure to leave plenty of extra time to travel in the morning.

:04:24. > :04:27.As we head through the day, we will see that mist and fog lift.

:04:28. > :04:30.We will see one or two spots of rain but, for most of us,

:04:31. > :04:34.We will see highs tomorrow of around seven or eight Celsius,

:04:35. > :04:36.so it is a little bit on the chilly side.

:04:37. > :04:40.Over the next couple of days, we hang onto an awful lot of cloud.

:04:41. > :04:43.Temperatures stay in single digits and, as we head into Wednesday,

:04:44. > :04:45.we should see a spell of wet and windy weather pushing

:04:46. > :04:49.through but, but by the end of the week, we will see the return

:04:50. > :04:52.That's it from Look East for tonight.

:04:53. > :04:54.We'll be back with bulletins throughout BBC Breakfast

:04:55. > :05:07.From me and the late team, goodnight.

:05:08. > :05:13.Good evening. It's a big week for pre-Christmas travel plans and the

:05:14. > :05:16.weather can be quite challenging at times, too. We start the week with

:05:17. > :05:20.the issue of fog once again. Just about anywhere on the hills on

:05:21. > :05:24.Monday morning but at its most extensive at lower levels across

:05:25. > :05:26.parts of western England and Wales, particularly towards the south-west,

:05:27. > :05:30.it could hamper your morning journey and some of the airports. Maybe not

:05:31. > :05:34.as extensive as it has been through the weekend in East Anglia and the

:05:35. > :05:38.south-east but fairly great start for many. Damp, too, in parts of

:05:39. > :05:40.Scotland and Northern Ireland but brightening up later. Subtle hints

:05:41. > :05:45.of brightness through the cloud elsewhere. It does stay rather grey

:05:46. > :05:48.and misty and all in all, a fairly cool day. We finish Monday with

:05:49. > :05:51.patchy rain and drizzle in eastern England which will push westward,

:05:52. > :05:54.some heavy bursts in and around the English Channel but clear skies

:05:55. > :05:58.through Monday night into Tuesday giving you your coldest night of the

:05:59. > :06:01.week. A widespread frost into Tuesday morning. The Tuesday morning

:06:02. > :06:04.commute could be hampered by dense patches of fog. That will clear as

:06:05. > :06:06.the breeze picks up and sunshine for a time
