:00:08. > :00:08.Hello. I'm Jenny Kirk.
:00:09. > :00:11.More than 100 people have been taking part in the second
:00:12. > :00:13.privately-funded search for missing airman Corrie McKeague.
:00:14. > :00:16.40 members of the public volunteered to help search and rescue teams
:00:17. > :00:19.They also used drones and a team of dogs specially trained
:00:20. > :00:32.On one of the coldest mornings this year, search teams were out
:00:33. > :00:37.The area is where his phone pinged off a mast a couple of days
:00:38. > :00:53.If he was to try and get back to Honington, as the crow
:00:54. > :00:55.flies, he's got to walk directly behind you.
:00:56. > :00:58.He does know this area because this is where the RAF do
:00:59. > :01:01.This is the second time Suffolk lowland search and rescue have
:01:02. > :01:03.teamed up with the public to look for Corrie.
:01:04. > :01:05.They are covering 4-5 square miles
:01:06. > :01:11.And you can see the terrain they are having to deal with.
:01:12. > :01:15.I have some power around about 60 trained search technicians,
:01:16. > :01:19.I think we have 14 4x4s out who will ferry the teams around.
:01:20. > :01:21.We have five cadaver dogs coming from all over the country.
:01:22. > :01:35.They will go out with team leaders and be given their own search areas.
:01:36. > :01:38.The 23-year-old airman who is based at RAF Honington was last seen
:01:39. > :01:40.in the early hours of Saturday 24 September in Bury.
:01:41. > :01:42.He'd been enjoying an evening out with friends.
:01:43. > :01:45.But nearly four months on, the search team manager says it
:01:46. > :01:51.The search we are conducting now is for body recovery.
:01:52. > :01:53.There is no feasible way that if Corrie has been missing
:01:54. > :01:57.for the length of time that he has, and he is out in the
:01:58. > :02:04.Corrie's mother still has hope of finding her son alive,
:02:05. > :02:05.but understands that might not be the case.
:02:06. > :02:08.She says having the public supporting the search
:02:09. > :02:16.Basildon Council says it has finally finished clearing
:02:17. > :02:18.the former travellers site at Dale Farm in Essex.
:02:19. > :02:20.Travellers were removed from an illegal part of the site
:02:21. > :02:24.Officials say it has been returned to a condition
:02:25. > :02:29.They have cleared more than 180 tonnes of rubbish.
:02:30. > :02:32.The head of one of the region's leading universities says students
:02:33. > :02:34.from low-income families shouldn't be put off by the
:02:35. > :02:37.From this year, the Government has removed non-repayable maintenance
:02:38. > :02:43.Alexei is in his second year studying politics and sociology
:02:44. > :02:46.He receives around ?3,500 a year from the Government
:02:47. > :02:48.in maintenance grants, money to help with the living costs
:02:49. > :02:58.of being at university, that doesn't have to be paid back.
:02:59. > :03:03.My sister and I are both at university now.
:03:04. > :03:18.And even the maintenance loan and grant together,
:03:19. > :03:21.there is a shortfall in terms of how much you actually need for living,
:03:22. > :03:24.particularly now that my sister doesn't have a maintenance grant
:03:25. > :03:29.I would say to anyone with the potential to benefit
:03:30. > :03:32.It's the best investment that you will ever make.
:03:33. > :03:34.But there are mixed signals from the Government.
:03:35. > :03:36.On the one hand urging universities to recruit more students
:03:37. > :03:39.from poorer backgrounds, which is the right thing to do,
:03:40. > :03:41.but at the same time abolishing non-repayable grants.
:03:42. > :03:43.But it's not just so-called elite universities that
:03:44. > :03:45.are trying to make sure that they have diverse students.
:03:46. > :03:47.Anglia Ruskin has an outreach programme that includes speaking
:03:48. > :03:49.to sixth formers and their parents about the new student
:03:50. > :03:53.For a normal boy like Alexei, going to Kings College Cambridge
:03:54. > :03:58.And his hope for the future is that other students will be able
:03:59. > :04:03.And there was more on student grants on this week's Sunday Politics East.
:04:04. > :04:09.You can watch it on the the BBC iPlayer.
:04:10. > :04:11.Now with the weather. Here's Elizabeth Rizzini.
:04:12. > :04:14.It was a very chilly start to the day today.
:04:15. > :04:17.Some of our more rural spots got down as low as minus eight Celsius.
:04:18. > :04:19.There will be another widespread sharp frost forming
:04:20. > :04:22.Also patches of freezing fog around as well.
:04:23. > :04:24.We have a Met Office warning out for this fog.
:04:25. > :04:27.It could be very dense, very slow to lift and clear.
:04:28. > :04:30.It will be mostly towards southern parts of our region, parts of Essex
:04:31. > :04:33.Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire also seeing some fog
:04:34. > :04:34.tomorrow morning. Very slow to lift and clear.
:04:35. > :04:37.Poor visibility on the roads, maybe leading to some travel issues.

:04:59. > :05:04.Look East is back with bulletins throughout BBC Breakfast
:05:05. > :05:12.Good evening. If you are dreading the trudge back to work in the
:05:13. > :05:17.morning I'm not going to help matters. There is the prospect of
:05:18. > :05:21.nasty, freezing fog over the next couple of days. Quite localised but
:05:22. > :05:27.tricky out there on the roads. Disruption possible. Check out your
:05:28. > :05:33.BBC local radio station, go online for the latest updates where you
:05:34. > :05:37.are. The fog thickening up as I subpoenaing, particularly across
:05:38. > :05:41.southern parts of the UK. There are warnings in force with some patches
:05:42. > :05:47.of fog elsewhere, too. A cold one, needless to say. Some places already
:05:48. > :05:48.well below freezing. Where you have cloud cover, hovering
