There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel,

0:00:000:00:18

Hello. on the BBC News Channel,

0:00:180:00:19

The leader of a search team on the BBC News Channel,

0:00:190:00:20

looking for the missing airman Corrie Mckeague

0:00:200:00:25

has told Look East they're clutching at straws.

0:00:250:00:29

Today has seen the third major volunteer search for Corrie

0:00:290:00:31

organised by his family

0:00:310:00:35

and separate from the police operation.

0:00:350:00:37

The Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue group was scouring

0:00:370:00:39

heathland at Barton Mills

0:00:390:00:40

where his mobile phone signal was picked-up five months ago.

0:00:400:00:42

This is one of the country's longest-running lowland searches

0:00:420:00:45

ever to have taken place.

0:00:450:00:46

For the third time in five months, volunteers

0:00:460:00:48

search teams across Southeast Anglia have turned out, joined the first

0:00:480:00:50

time from Scotland by Corrie Mckeague's eldest brother.

0:00:500:00:52

I should be out helping, it shouldn't just be

0:00:520:00:54

members of the public just coming out to do it.

0:00:540:00:57

Again, so thankful for their work and support through all this.

0:00:570:00:59

His mother, Nicola Urquhart, had offered a ?50,000

0:00:590:01:02

reward for information about

0:01:020:01:02

what happened to her son.

0:01:020:01:10

Yesterday evening, the deadline passed to

0:01:100:01:11

clean it.

0:01:110:01:19

We knew that we were never going to leave it forever.

0:01:190:01:22

This was never a case of, if someone's out

0:01:220:01:24

walking in five years and they happen to find Corrie,

0:01:240:01:27

they get to claim a reward.

0:01:270:01:28

That person would have called the police anyway.

0:01:280:01:30

Search teams from Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire are out,

0:01:300:01:32

including members of the public, about 100 people in total today.

0:01:320:01:35

They've identified an area of 50 square kilometres where Corrie

0:01:350:01:37

Mckeague or his telephoned me feasibly be.

0:01:370:01:39

They admit it is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

0:01:390:01:42

You have to find the haystack to find the

0:01:420:01:44

needle, don't you?

0:01:440:01:45

Where is the haystack?

0:01:450:01:46

We are kind of coming to a close on viable areas and areas

0:01:460:01:49

that you can get to you by car.

0:01:490:01:51

We're running out of ideas without new information.

0:01:510:01:53

We are running out of ideas and it's really just

0:01:530:01:56

clutching at straws.

0:01:560:01:58

For the next couple of weeks, the police search will focus

0:01:580:02:01

on this landfill site in Cambridgeshire.

0:02:010:02:05

It is 30 miles from Bury St Edmunds where Corrie

0:02:050:02:08

Mckeague was last seen.

0:02:080:02:09

Caught on CCTV going down a dead end full of bins.

0:02:090:02:12

The question now, if Corrie Mckeague ended up in a bin, is he here?

0:02:120:02:22

Fire investigators have spent a second day at

0:02:250:02:27

a flat in Northampton

0:02:270:02:35

where a man was arrested on suspicion of arson.

0:02:350:02:38

Crews were called to Hunters Rise in the early hours

0:02:380:02:40

of Saturday morning.

0:02:400:02:41

A 20-year-old woman was taken to Northampton General Hospital

0:02:410:02:43

with serious injuries.

0:02:430:02:46

Surrounding flats were evacuated during the fire.

0:02:460:02:50

Extra training for prison officers

0:02:500:02:51

to deal with self harm and prevent suicides

0:02:510:02:53

will be offered at Chelmsford Prison.

0:02:530:02:54

It's part of a series of measures for prisons in London

0:02:540:02:57

and the South East announced today by the Justice Secretary Liz Truss.

0:02:570:03:00

The regime at Chelmsford was criticised recently

0:03:000:03:01

following the death of inmate Dean Saunders

0:03:010:03:03

who electrocuted himself in his cell last year.

0:03:030:03:07

In Rugby Union's Premiership,

0:03:070:03:08

Northampton Saints threw away a first half advantage

0:03:080:03:10

away at Newcastle.

0:03:100:03:11

They started the second half nine points ahead

0:03:110:03:13

but lost 46-31.

0:03:130:03:17

Football now and, with a look at some of yesterday's

0:03:170:03:20

highlights, here's Shaun Peel.

0:03:200:03:26

Have Norwich City's play-off hopes gone for a Burton?

0:03:260:03:28

They are seven points light now after losing 2-1, ending a

0:03:280:03:31

six-game unbeaten run.

0:03:310:03:33

Boss Alex Neil said its hugely disappointing.

0:03:330:03:35

They've lost nine on the road now, and the road will soon be running

0:03:350:03:38

out.

0:03:380:03:42

Ipswich drew 1-1 with Leeds after Freddie Sears' early goal was

0:03:420:03:45

levelled by Leeds.

0:03:450:03:46

Mick McCarthy said "Overall, we were the better

0:03:460:03:48

team."

0:03:480:03:49

In League 1, Southend and Northampton drew 2-2.

0:03:490:03:51

Northampton came back twice to pinch a point.

0:03:510:03:53

And a point for Southend nudges them back into the top six.

0:03:530:03:56

There was late drama as Peterborough lost

0:03:560:03:57

2-0 at Walsall.

0:03:570:04:03

Both goals coming in stoppage time.

0:04:030:04:04

The first direct from a corner.

0:04:040:04:06

Porsh skipper Chris Forrester sent of, leading furious

0:04:060:04:08

protest.

0:04:080:04:09

Their keeper was fouled in the process.

0:04:090:04:13

-- Posh.

0:04:130:04:15

Elsewhere, and MK dons lost 1-0 at home to Fleetwood.

0:04:150:04:17

In League 2, Luton, in fourth, drew with

0:04:170:04:19

league leaders Doncaster Rovers, leading through Jordan Cook but

0:04:190:04:21

Rovers return service with an equaliser ten minutes from time.

0:04:210:04:24

Stevenage are just a point short of the play-off positions

0:04:240:04:26

after growing 1-1 of Exeter.

0:04:260:04:28

They took the lead but Exeter equalised.

0:04:280:04:32

Cambridge, the comeback kids, they were 2-0 down at home to

0:04:320:04:35

Newport County, but they fought back to win 3-2.

0:04:350:04:37

They killed it with a penalty in stoppage time, which was saved at

0:04:370:04:42

first but Mark Roberts went for second.

0:04:420:04:44

Colchester slipped to 11th, three points from the gang of four,

0:04:440:04:46

after going down to ten men at Accrington Stanley.

0:04:460:04:48

Chris Porter scored the winning goal from the spot with

0:04:480:04:50

15 minutes remaining.

0:04:500:05:00

Time for the weather now.

0:05:020:05:04

Here's Elizabeth Rizzini.

0:05:040:05:09

Hello, good evening.

0:05:090:05:10

There was plenty of sunshine around for most

0:05:100:05:12

of us today, although cloud never too far away.

0:05:120:05:14

And of course, it felt mild.

0:05:140:05:15

Starting to see the spring flowers come through, too.

0:05:150:05:17

But it will be a very mixed week ahead of weather.

0:05:170:05:20

Now, it is going to start off mild.

0:05:200:05:22

We will see it turn really quite windy at times, and there will

0:05:220:05:25

be a little bit of rain during the middle part of the week.

0:05:250:05:28

Then it's going to turn colder by the time we

0:05:280:05:30

get to the end of the week once more.

0:05:300:05:33

Overnight tonight, it will be exceptionally mild for the time

0:05:330:05:35

of year.

0:05:350:05:36

We'll start off the day tomorrow in double figures for some places.

0:05:360:05:39

There will be some drizzle at times and a bit of mist and murk, too.

0:05:390:05:42

Looking at a mostly dry day, just very cloudy and turning

0:05:420:05:45

quite windy with the westerly winds picking up.

0:05:450:05:47

If we get any breaks in the cloud tomorrow afternoon, then

0:05:470:05:50

temperatures could get even higher than last week, with 15-16 C.

0:05:500:05:52

Very mild indeed tomorrow but turning cooler

0:05:520:06:02

from Tuesday onwards.

0:06:020:06:03

A few spots of rain at times, but otherwise dry and cloudy.

0:06:030:06:04

on

0:06:160:06:16

on and

0:06:160:06:16

on and on.

0:06:160:06:16

on and on. It

0:06:160:06:16

on and on. It is
