Poultry farmers in the east are on the alert following the first | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
confirmed outbreak of bird flu in Lincolnshire. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
New regulations designed to keep the disease at bay have already been | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
after the H5N8 virus was found in mainland Europe. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
says it's now a major concern in this region. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
This is Austen Fen near Louth, where 5000 turkeys have been | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Many have already died, the rest will be culled. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
One of our leading turkey producers says outbreaks can be | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Bird flu is a big concern for all of us all the time. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
There has been an outbreak in Lincolnshire and we've been | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
discussing this as an industry for many months now. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
There has been an outbreak in mainland Europe. | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
And it's just a matter of, not if it comes to the UK, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
the reality is when it comes to the UK. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
This is a massive industry in the east. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
We produce 107 million eggs a year and a quarter | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
A sector worth ?640 million per year. | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
The region's last big bird flu outbreak was in 2007, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Thousands of birds had to be slaughtered but the firm has said it | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
has intense bio-security already in place and is complying | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Two weeks ago, Defra ruled all poultry and captive birds had | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
to be kept indoors to stop them getting infected by wild ones, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
It is killing both wild birds and domestic poultry, | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
so it is a very serious threat to birds but not to people | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
and Public Health England have said the threat to public health is low. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Back in Lincolnshire, officials are investigating | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Paul Kelly says he hopes it won't spread to other | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Nothing has been been found during the latest search for missing | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
Volunteers from Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
five square miles of land around RAF Honington. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Exactly 12 weeks after Corrie went missing on a night | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
out in Bury St Edmunds, this was the first search organised | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
by the Mckeague family without Suffolk Police. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
The Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue members plus 30 | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
members of the public all gave their time voluntarily. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
They concentrated on an area near RAF Honington called | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
King's Forest, which hasn't been searched by the police. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
No trace that Corrie was found, but there's still a lot | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
We have other areas in mind that we could. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
In fact, there's still the very large areas of King's Forest | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Not all areas got completed, so therefore there is completion | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
This latest search was based on the theory that Corrie Mckeague | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
may have been hit by a car on his way back from Bury St Edmunds | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
to his base at Honington and his body left in the woods. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Hundreds of people had volunteered to help, | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
but only a small number were selected, to keep | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Corrie's mother, Nicola Urquhart, has said she won't stop searching. | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
As you may have seen, Andy Murray won the BBC's Sports Personality | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
At the event, our region was well represented. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Max Whitlock, the Hertfordshire gymnast who trains at | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
the South Essex Club, was a nominee after winning two gold | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Ellie Robinson, the swimmer from Northampton who won | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
gold at the Paralympics, was also recognised | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
for winning the BBC Young Sports Personality award. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
And the Suffolk soprano Laura Wright sang a tribute to those sports stars | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
To the weather now with Ashling Creevey. | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
We start the new working week on a foggy note. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for some | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
To start off tomorrow morning, plenty of mist and fog | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Do take care if you are out and about on the roads. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Make sure to leave plenty of extra time to travel in the morning. | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
As we head through the day, we will see that mist and fog lift. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
We will see one or two spots of rain but, for most of us, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
We will see highs tomorrow of around seven or eight Celsius, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
so it is a little bit on the chilly side. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Over the next couple of days, we hang onto an awful lot of cloud. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Temperatures stay in single digits and, as we head into Wednesday, | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
we should see a spell of wet and windy weather pushing | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
through but, but by the end of the week, we will see the return | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
That's it from Look East for tonight. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
We'll be back with bulletins throughout BBC Breakfast | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
From me and the late team, goodnight. | :04:55. | :05:07. | |
Good evening. It's a big week for pre-Christmas travel plans and the | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
weather can be quite challenging at times, too. We start the week with | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
the issue of fog once again. Just about anywhere on the hills on | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Monday morning but at its most extensive at lower levels across | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
parts of western England and Wales, particularly towards the south-west, | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
it could hamper your morning journey and some of the airports. Maybe not | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
as extensive as it has been through the weekend in East Anglia and the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
south-east but fairly great start for many. Damp, too, in parts of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland but brightening up later. Subtle hints | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
of brightness through the cloud elsewhere. It does stay rather grey | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
and misty and all in all, a fairly cool day. We finish Monday with | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
patchy rain and drizzle in eastern England which will push westward, | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
some heavy bursts in and around the English Channel but clear skies | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
through Monday night into Tuesday giving you your coldest night of the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
week. A widespread frost into Tuesday morning. The Tuesday morning | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
commute could be hampered by dense patches of fog. That will clear as | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
the breeze picks up and sunshine for a time | :06:05. | :06:06. |
