A largely dry night with some clear spells and a widespread frost across the BBC East region.

A yellow warning has also been issued by the Met Office, external for areas of dense and possibly freezing fog, leading to difficult travelling conditions by road and air. 

Temperatures under clear skies falling below freezing, perhaps as low as -5C (23F).

Tomorrow the fog could linger through the day, but there will be areas where it lifts and we could eventually see some brightness and sunshine developing. 

There’ll be light south to south-westerly winds and highs of around 6C (43F). 

Where the fog lingers temperatures may struggle to get above freezing.

The penalty for fly-tipping in Fenland is set to double after the district council's cabinet approved the increase last week.

Up until now, the fine for "common offences" has been £200, but that's set to rise to £400.

The fixed penalty notices will be issued for the dumping of small scale household or commercial waste, including builders' rubble, household items, white goods, black refuse sacks and tyres.

Prosecutions will still be brought for bigger, more serious offences and for failure to pay the fixed penalty.

Peter Murphy, the Fenland cabinet member responsible for the environment, said: "On average, 120 cases are reported in the district each month.

"Clearing up the mess costs us thousands of pounds every year that could otherwise go towards other services."

Since 2015 six cases of small scale fly-tipping have led to prosecutions. Each time a fine and costs totalling between £300 and £500 were awarded.

Investigation work to determine the cause of an explosion at a property in Eye, north Cambridgeshire, on Friday is continuing today, police say.

For a period of time after the incident the building was too unsafe to enter so investigation work was delayed.

Both police and fire services attended the scene during the weekend with a structural engineer and remain at the scene today. 

The building has now been deemed safe for the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to carrying out its investigation.

One person died in the fire but no further information on their identity has been released.

The man selected to be the Conservative candidate for Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough claims he'd make sure the area "is fit for the 21st Century".

East Cambridgeshire District Council leader, James Palmer, was picked by party members over the weekend.

He told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire large scale transport upgrades have "not been good enough over the past 30 and 40 years".

"Everyone knows what it's like to travel around the county. People aren't happy with it," he said.

"Things haven't been done. They deserve better."

Rod Cantril will stand for the Lib Dems, Paul Bullen for UKIP, Julie Howell for the Greens and Peter Dawe as an independent.

Labour are yet to select their candidate.

Students who have applied to university this year will no longer be able to get a maintenance grant to help pay their living expenses.

In the East of England, 35,000 students at our largest universities received more than £114m in maintenance grants in 2014.

At the University of Cambridge, 26% of UK undergraduates received maintenance grants in that year, compared to 38% of students at Anglia Ruskin University.

The government has defended the switch from grants to loans, saying there should be no barrier to anyone's ambition and that a record number of disadvantaged students are going to university now. 

A Department for Education spokesman said: "We have increased maintenance support for students from the lowest income backgrounds by 10%. Financial assistance is also available through all universities."

But Bill Rammell, vice chancellor at the University of Bedfordshire and former Labour universities minister, said not enough students from low income backgrounds were going into higher education.

"I would say to anyone with potential will benefit from going to university - do it, it is the best investment that you will ever make," said Mr Rammell. 

"The majority of people never regret that decision and the benefits can stay with you right through your adult life."

Julian Huppert, academic and former Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge, said the change was a real problem for poorer students.

"If you are a 17-year-old you are not used to the idea of thousands of pounds of debt hanging over you and I really worry that this will be a huge factor for people like that."

Three Cambridgeshire railway stations are to get longer platforms.

Network Rail has announced extensions to Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton stations.

The work, which starts on Sunday, 19 February, is being done to accommodate longer trains as part of the government-sponsored Thameslink programme.

The company says it will involve some evening and weekend work, with some trains replaced by buses during certain weekends.  

There will eventually be direct trains between Cambridgeshire, London Bridge, Gatwick Airport and stations south of London.

An elderly man has been found dead after a house fire in south Cambridgeshire.

A hand-cranked tricycle, which meant "an awful lot" to a man from Ely, has been stolen from a garage in the city.

It was discovered it had been stolen from 75-year-old Arthur Cutter last Monday morning.

"He had it for many years and it meant an awful lot to him," said Mandy Marsh, Mr Cutter's daughter.

"No-one could have done him a worse deal than taking that from him.

"He helped his grandchildren learn to ride their bikes on it, with a great deal of pride."

A police investigation has started.

The appearance of fake news on websites and social media has inspired scientists to develop a "vaccine" to immunise people against the problem.

A University of Cambridge study devised psychological tools to target fact distortion.

Researchers suggest "pre-emptively exposing" readers to a small "dose" of the misinformation can help organisations cancel out bogus claims.

"Misinformation can be sticky, spreading and replicating like a virus," said the University of Cambridge study's lead author Dr Sander van der Linden.

"The idea is to provide a cognitive repertoire that helps build up resistance to misinformation, so the next time people come across it they are less susceptible."

Fabricated stories alleging the Pope was backing Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton sold weapons to the so-called Islamic State group were read and shared by millions of Facebook users during the US election campaign.

The world's largest social network later announced new features to help combat fabricated news stories, and there is pressure on Google and Twitter to do more to tackle the issue.

Peterborough United loan striker Shaquile Coulthirst scored on his Mansfield Town debut to help end Cambridge United's eight-match unbeaten run in League Two.

"We've been on a great run, but this is a smell the coffee moment," said Derry.

Peterborough United boss Grant McCann said his side "responded brilliantly" after the defeat at Bury, winning Saturday's game away at Swindon 0-1.

Chris Forrester scored the only goal a minute into the second half, settling a tight and tense game in League One.

Marcus Maddison crossed from the left and Forrester turned neatly before firing past the despairing home goalkeeper, who got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.

"It was a good away performance," said McCann.

"The players responded brilliantly.

"I was really pleased for the back four and the keeper after the hammering they took last week."

The win leaves Peterborough United on the shoulder of the League One play-offs in eighth.
