Good morning and thanks for joining us for Tuesday's Norfolk Live.

We start our coverage by wishing good luck to Norfolk's Rebecca Field - she plays alongside Paul Foster in the mixed pairs competition at the World Indoor Bowls Championship this afternoon.

And it's a big day for the East Anglia's Children's Hospices - their royal patron, the Duchess of Cambridge, is visiting the charity's Quidenham hospice.

We'll have more on those stories throughout the day, along with our regular news, sport and travel updates.

Kate Kinsella's forecast follows shortly, and it's foggy out there so allow extra time for your journeys.

Saurabh Saigal has been marooned off the English coast for several months following a pay dispute with his employers. He and his crew say that they have not received their wages from the Indian-based company that owns the Malaviya Twenty ship. As a consequence the vessel was detained in British waters by the UK regulating body for merchant shipping, but now a resolution looks to be on the horizon.

Norfolk Fire Service have been on site since the fire broke shortly before 12:00 on Saturday. They'll oversee a controlled burn which is expected to take up to seven days, due to the amount of wood involved.

Environmental Health staff will visit daily to assess the impact of the smoke on the local area. As yet, there has been no pollution of local rivers and ground water, but the Environment Agency will continue to monitor the run-off.

• People are advised to avoid being in the plume of smoke, and to avoid contact with smoke deposits. Residents are also advised to keep windows and doors shut and to avoid spending unnecessary time outdoors.
• Motorists who travel through the smoke plume should keep windows and air vents closed and turn off their air conditioning.
• Anyone who has health concerns is advised to contact their GP or contact NHS 111 service out of hours.

A pupil has been airlifted to hospital following an incident at a Norwich school. 

Anglia One, from the East Anglian Air Ambulance, landed in the Colegate area of the city shortly after 15:30, close to Duke Street. 

They worked with colleagues from the fire service to stabilise the patient from Jane Austen College who has been taken to Addenbrooke's in Cambridge.  

Earlier we told you how a pensioner facing eviction from her mobile home has given up her battle with a local council and will be moving out.

Bryony Nierop-Reading moved into a caravan on land she owns in Happisburgh after her bungalow fell into the sea in the 2013 December tidal surge.

She has been involved in a planning battle with North Norfolk District Council as she didn't have permission to live in it.

The 71-year-old was due to be evicted earlier this month, but that has not yet happened. She told us earlier that she would now be moving her possessions into a container provided by the council, and will live in a motor home.

A spokeswoman from North Norfolk District Council has told us that more cliff adjacent to Mrs Nierop-Reading's land was eroded in the recent storm surge.

"The caravan on site was subject to an enforcement notice and Mrs Nierop-Reading was required to removed the caravan on 7 January 2017, which she has not done," she said.

"We have worked with Mrs Nierop-Reading to assist her in meeting the requirements of the notice."

Diss Express

Further works to the Norwich to London line, which serves the Diss Express area, are due to start next month, external with rail users being advised to check before they travel.

More than £5m is to be cut from services that support vulnerable people in the county.

The decision has been agreed by Norfolk County Council's adult social care committee. It came down to a casting vote by Conservative councillor Bill Borrett. 

Tim Allard, of Norfolk Carers Support, warns the cuts will have a knock-on effect of increasing the pressure on individuals and families who are already struggling to cope.

"Around 100,000 people in the county are already looking after someone else who needs their support because they are ill, frail or have a disability, mental health or addiction," he said.

"The more funding and services are cut, the more these people have to take on the care."

The county council will make its final decision on cuts on 20 February.

Plans to increase spending on adult social care in Norfolk have taken a step forward.

County councillors on the Adult Social Care committee have voted to approve a £25m increase in the next financial year. 

A final decision will be made when the council's budget is set on Monday, 20 February.

Chair of the committee, Councillor Bill Borrett, says the number of people aged 85 and over in the county is "growing at one of the fastest rates in the country", which is leading to increasing demand on services.

The ambulance service, a rapid response vehicle and Norfolk Police also attended the incident.

A patient, with a history of self-harm, has admitted posting three home-made bombs through the letterbox of his doctor's surgery in west Norfolk,

A trial at the Old Bailey heard that Ozzie Welsh, of Short Lane, Feltwell, had been in dispute with the surgery in Boughton before the incident in January last year.

Welsh, 39, pleaded not guilty to doing an act with intent to cause an explosion but admitted having an explosive substance. The court heard he did not intend the explosion would endanger life or cause serious damage.

A search of his home by police officers found a stash of potassium permanganate, aluminium powder, potassium nitrate and sulphur.

At an earlier hearing, prosecutor John McNally said there were concerns about Welsh's mental state, and that the defendant had a history of self-harming "at the extreme end". 

He also had a previous conviction for causing criminal damage.

Judge Mark Lucraft QC ordered two reports, one psychiatric and the other from the probation service on the potential danger posed by Welsh ahead of sentencing on 13 March.

The defendant was remanded in custody.

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

The government has scrapped maintenance grants for low income students and replaced them last year with loans.

At the University of East Anglia in Norwich 3,414 students, which is 37% of its UK undergraduates, received maintenance grants totalling £9.7m in 2014, the last year for which figures were available.

In the East of England, 35,000 students at eight universities received more than £114m in maintenance grants in the same year.

Critics fear fewer low-income students will go to university as a result of the switch from grants to loans. 

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."

But 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."

Residents and businesses near North Runcton are being advised to keep doors and windows shut as a precaution, as Norfolk's fire service continues to fight a fire at a waste timber yard.

The blaze broke out shortly before 12:00 on Saturday. Crews from King's Lynn, Sandringham, Fakenham, Thetford and Wymondham were called to the scene.

These photos were sent to us by the Rapid Relief Team, external, which provided hot and cold refreshments to emergency crews.

Wolves opt to appeal against goalkeeper Carl Ikeme's red card for pushing Norwich's Wes Hoolahan on Saturday.

Norfolk Trading Standards says it does have adequate resources to support vulnerable people who've fallen victim to scams.

A BBC investigation has found that less than 10% of the names of victims passed to the team had received a face-to-face visit.

Most of them were old cases that didn't need a follow up, Trading Standards spokesman Brian Chattern told us, and says the department is acting appropriately.
