The fire has clearly been brought under control. It started in a plant room near the food court and staff from the Castle Mall are waiting to get back inside. Shoppers and people with cars parked in the car park opposite are also hanging around.

Careful newt hunt to ensure Norwich road work will continuepublished at 13:31 British Summer Time 7 June 2016

BBC NewsNewt populations have been known to hold up or even have major construction projects cancelled so great care was taken with the planning of the northern distributor road around Norwich as the amphibians were known to be at three locations along its route.
- Natural England has been overseeing the safe removal of the protected great crested newts to secure areas nearby.
- Specially-trained Rocky the spaniel is being brought in for a week to ensure none remain along the 12-mile (20km) route.
- Ecologists need to remove protected species and other wildlife to safe areas before work can begin on the road.
- Since the warm spring weather brought the newts out of hibernation, more than 7km (4.3 miles) of amphibian fencing has been used to steer them into bucket traps in the three areas they have been found.
- More than 340 great crested newts have been relocated together with 450 smooth newts, about 850 toads, 90 frogs and an assortment of reptiles and mammals, including a baby hedgehog.

Taxi code motivated by north of England child abuse probepublished at 09:47 British Summer Time 7 June 2016
Nick Conrad
BBC Radio NorfolkThe introduction of a new code of conduct for taxi drivers in Norwich has been motivated by child abuse inquiries in the north of England.
Image source, GoogleThe code sets out how drivers can behave towards passengers and forbids inappropriate behaviour. This means they cannot take pictures or video of them, give them gifts or sweets or even get in touch with them on social media.
Drivers are also being trained to spot possible signs of abuse in passengers, following a report that said taxi drivers in Rochdale and Rotherham played a "prominent role" in child abuse.
