Former school governor Andrew Brown's offences came to light when he told police he had been burgled and the burglar had attempted to blackmail him.

Cambridgeshire Police traced the stolen devices and found 718 indecent images of children, some as young as three, on the items - all of which were created before the burglary on 24 October 2015.

The former chairman of governors at King's School in Peterborough (below) claimed the burglar must have broken into the house at an earlier date and planted them there, but he was found guilty at Peterborough Crown Court of the offences.

Det Sgt James Weston said: "His denial throughout the investigation regarding the possssion of indecent images of children, extreme and prohibited images, resulted in extensive digital forensic investigation work and analysis."

International Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox has assured farmers in the East that securing a good deal for the industry is one of the priorities in the forthcoming Brexit negotiations. 

Speaking during a visit to Camgrain in Balsham, he said the government was hoping for tariff-free trade with the EU once we had left. He said he was also hoping to negotiate new trade deals with other countries around the world. 

A few MPs have privately expressed fears that food and farming could lose out under Brexit, but Dr Fox described such concerns as "misplaced".  

"Tariffs on farming would hit EU producers more than us. I hope that common sense and rationality is not trumped by short-term political considerations," he said.

Dr Fox was visiting Cambridgeshire in support of James Palmer, the Conservative candidate in the mayoral elections.

I've been to meet the Secretary of State for International Trade, Liam Fox, who has come to Cambridgeshire today. 

He was visiting Camgrain, a farmer-owned co-operative and met its vice chairman, David White.  

The day after Article 50 was officially triggered, to start the divorce proceedings for the UK to leave the EU, he told me: "I want to see a tariff-free Euro economy." 

He added that "tariffs on farming would hit EU food producers more than us" and that he hoped in trade talks "political considerations won't trump common sense". 

The former chairman of governors at a Peterborough secondary school has been found guilty of a series of offences relating to indecent images of children. 

Andrew Brown, 61, of Montague Road, Peterborough, was convicted at Peterborough Crown Court of three counts of possessing indecent images of a child, two counts of making indecent images of a child and one count of possessing prohibited images of a child.

He was found not guilty of two counts of possessing extreme pornographic material. 

Brown, who denied all the charges, was chairman of governors at the city's King's School before his arrest.

Having to store more than eight million books and manuscripts, a million maps and a copy of every UK publication since 1710, means finding enough space can be pretty tricky. 

So with a library that's close to capacity, Cambridge University has just started work on a new storage facility.

The new £17.1m building is being built close to Ely, at the Lancaster Way Business Park and should be open by early next year. 

But the issue of space will rear its ugly head again in 2030 when capacity could be reached.

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire, Jason Ablewhite, has renewed his calls to also be in charge of the county's fire service. 

He's told the BBC that although both services already work closely together, he wants to take it further and be commissioner for both. 

"I think bringing it under one strategic head with two chiefs, so they still have their autonomy, they still deliver their service on the ground, is less cumbersome than the current process and we should be able to collaborate more comfortably with things like estates, which makes sense," he said.

As well as looking at maternity services at the Rosie hospital, we've been talking about fertility this morning. 

One of the reasons is Bourn Hall fertility cIinic in Cambridgeshire, external has released research that treatment for some couples struggling with infertility could be delayed unnecessarily because they are told they are too young to have a problem. 

Lead clinician Dr Nikolaos Polydoropoulos said: "It is well known that fertility declines with age but there are many other causes. Common reasons for infertility, such as blocked fallopian tubes or low sperm count, won't be improved by waiting, so it is important that these conditions are addressed to maximise the chance of conception."

He recommends that couples talk to their GP and raise the issue early on.
