The post office in Sawston was set on fire in the early hours of this morning, after offenders tried to steal a cash machine.

The incident happened on High Street at around 01:45.

Police say the offenders attempted to make off with the ATM subsequently caused a fire inside the machine itself.

In the end, they left empty-handed in the direction of the M11.

The flat above the shop and other properties were evacuated because of the fire.

BBC Inside Out

An increasing number of people are taking on the responsibility of caring for an elderly parent.

One of those doing so is BBC radio presenter Sue Marchant. 

Sue promised her dying father that her 90-year-old mother Elinor wouldn't be left alone, and that she'd look after her where they live in Cambridgeshire.

She decided to design a bespoke care package for her, rather than paying for the package provided by the county council.

Her mum needs at least two visits a day. Sue has found an agency that does hour-long visits and has also built in social calls from the Age UK care warden and a friend.

You can find out how she gets on by watching Inside Out, on BBC One in the East, at 19:30.

You may have seen the story on Friday that the 07:55 Cambridge to King's Cross departure board used the word "thence" to describe the journey the train would be making.

We put the story on the Look East Facebook page, external and it appears the general consensus was that it was a great use of the word and should be used more...

• Sylvia Bettsworth - Would be great to see old words used and cheer us all up bit.
• Holly Ruston - I've got no issue with it, what's the big deal? 

• Sue Day - Wonderful! There should be more like this.
• Tim Young - I think it is lovely to see a broader range of vocabulary used. I would encourage them to use as many different words as possible. (As long as the average traveller can make sense of them of course).
• Maggie Parker - I think it's really charming - wish we had 'thenced' to Durham from x's cross the other day.  

A spokesman for Greater Anglia, which runs the station, said: "The word 'thence' was added to one destination board. It is the first and last time it will be used at a Greater Anglia station."

Which may come as a disappointment to some...

Police say they've identified a man they want to speak to over the theft of a car that had a 10-month-old baby inside.

The baby's mother left her child in a silver Volvo outside a shop on London Road, Kimbolton, at about 15:30 on Wednesday while she briefly went inside.

A man, who had been a passenger in a blue car, approached the woman's car and drove away, with the baby strapped in the back.

The child's mother saw the car being taken and ran after it. The offender stopped further down London Road and abandoned it before getting back into the blue car.

The baby was recovered "safe and well", according to police.

No arrests have yet been made.

No doubt you saw over the weekend that US President Donald Trump has temporarily banned people from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the country.

Here in Cambridgeshire, local politicians have been having their say.

David Campbell Bannerman, Conservative MEP for the East of England, said "it's all about security".

Speaking to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, he said: "We have to remember that it's just a temporary ban in order to bring in new vetting procedures.

"It's all about security. There is a major security problem we have to address. It is not a Muslim ban."

A cyclist has died following a collision on the outskirts of Newmarket on Thursday.

A local MP has been responding to US President Donald Trump's decision to halt immigration on all nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries and indefinitely banning all Syrian refugees.

British Prime Minister Theresa May was criticised for refusing to condemn the ban, but Downing Street later released a statement disagreeing "with this kind of approach". 

Speaking on Sunday Politics yesterday, South Cambridgeshire MP Heidi Allen said Mrs May "should have said something sooner".

"It's entirely right that the PM has come out and said this isn't appropriate. It's not something we agree with in our government," she said.

"But I do wish she'd have said something at the time, not least because it affects our citizens."

However, when pushed on an issue of a petition that's calling for the president's state visit to be postponed, Mrs Allen said "he is the leader of America - like it or not, he needs to come to the UK".

Scotland's Paul Foster was crowned World Indoor Bowls champion for the fifth time at Potters Resort in Hopton-on-Sea. 

He beat Ely's Greg Harlow after a tense final, shown live on BBC Two, went to a tie-break set. 

Foster told me afterwards "It means everything to me.

"To be honest I thought Greg had it with his last bowl, but maybe my name was on it. 

"It's six years since I've won it, I found my A game in that second set."
