Hello, I'm Shaun Peel. Kennedy, BBC News at Vimy Ridge. | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Fire investigators are trying to establish how ten beach huts | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
caught fire this morning on Mersea Island in Essex. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Eight have been destroyed and two are badly damaged. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Pictures of the scene on social media showed the beach huts | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
on Empress Avenue completely burnt to the ground. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The alarm was raised shortly before 2am this morning. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Firefighters found propane gas cylinders inside | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
There's an awful lot of people who will lose a lot of emotional | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
things in these beach huts, memories, and actual things. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
We've had cases of mild vandalism in the past | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Two years ago in January, three of the huts were set on fire | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
These huts can change hands for up to ?25,000 a time. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
The area has been cordoned off to allow an investigation into how | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Essex Police are trying to find a three-year-old girl from Clacton | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Peggie Happer was last seen five days ago. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Officers are concerned because her parents, | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
are believed to be involved with drugs. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Coastguards were involved in rescuing three groups | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
of people cut off by the tide in Norfolk today. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
All are safe and well but the news comes as | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
a whistle-blower claims the service is at breaking point. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
It's mid-morning in Felixstowe but already, with the temperatures | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
climbing, sun-seekers are coming in their droves. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
But this is a spot at Cobbolds Point where the pull of the water can be | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
especially deceptive on the ebb tide. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
And even on a warm day the water temperature | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
But it is not just currents and cold which should alarm us, | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
says the whistle-blower behind today's allegations, | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Citing the mass closure of main coastguard centres, | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
including those at Great Yarmouth and at Walton in Essex. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
This leak pinpoints a number of alleged problems, | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
including people without the right qualifications, low morale, | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
All that, it's claimed, leads to problems retaining staff. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Our casualty rate rose by 58% last year. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
John Creswell is from the Coastal Patrol Rescue. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Last year alone, it helped more than 160 people | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Now we are dealing with Dover Coastguard, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
which is 160 miles to the south, or Humber Coastguard, | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
I mean, we're having more responsibility thrust on us. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said, we're very proud of our | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
coastguard, both our full-time staff and volunteers, | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
around the coastline for the work they do to ensure | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
the safety around our coast 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
We're committed to looking after our staff and we take any | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
concern about our coastguard operations very seriously. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
The dossier of allegations has already been passed | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
to MPs and will be studied in the coming weeks. | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
Football now and, with just a handful of games left, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
five of our sides still have realistic hopes of | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
One of them isn't Norwich, though, despite beating | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Just a pity it's too late in the season for it to matter. | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
The magnificent seven included braces for Hoolahan | :03:30. | :03:30. | |
and Pritchard, with six of the goals coming in the first half | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Caretaker boss Alan Irvine said, that the best display | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Mick McCarthy said, we give two soft goals away. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
The only consolation for Ipswich was of no consolation, really, | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
In League 1, Southend's play-off hopes took a hit | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
John White with the Southend goal but it wasn't enough. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Defeat leaves them one point from the pack with four to go. | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Northampton lost 2-1 to Sheffield United as the Blades | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
came from behind to secure promotion to the Championship, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
ironically under former Northampton boss Chris Wilder on a triumphant | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
MK Dons drew 1-1 at Swindon as Kieran Agard's penalty | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
In League 2, Luton go fourth after winning 1-0 at Barnet, | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
thanks to this second-half strike from Olly Lee. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
There was yet another twist in the play-off story as Stevenage | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
crumbled at Colchester as the home side won 4-0, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
with all four goals coming in the first half. | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
In means that Stevenage dropped to fifth, just behind Luton, | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
and Colchester climb to tenth, just two points from the mix | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
And Cambridge in ninth are also two points off the play-off places | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
after beating League 2 whipping boys Leyton Orient 3-0. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
The goals from Berry, O'Neil and Mans. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
In rugby, in the Premiership, heartbreak for Northampton, | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
who lost to a last-minute try at Wasps this afternoon. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Saints ran in five tries but still lost by 32-30 as Wasps | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
stole victory with a try at the death. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
OK, let's get the weather with Sara Thornton | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
I hope you've enjoyed the lovely sunshine today but I have to tell | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
you that temperatures are above average for this time of year and as | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
we go through the next few days you will see them coming back down to | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
where they should be. Much cooler but it will be dry although you will | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
have to be pretty hardy to be out on the beach as people were today. The | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
cloud sinks towards us from the north and the West with maybe some | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
patchy drizzle. It is not rainfall that it brings but cooler air. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
North-westerly winds set in for tomorrow. We the sunshine. Some | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
afternoon showers for some of us but look at that knock on temperatures. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
That's the story through the coming week. | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Good evening. If you can use a smelter describes the weather it | :06:04. | :06:17. | |
would be owed a barbecue, and why not? Beautiful | :06:18. | :06:18. |
