The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) is one of the top 10 performing trusts in the country for obstetrics training.

Each year, around 6,000 babies are born at the hospital which provides training for speciality doctors across a wide range of maternity services, including ante- and post-natal care.

At any one time, the NNUH has an average of 15 speciality trainees working within obstetrics and gynaecology.

The commendation comes from anonymous feedback from trainee doctors submitted to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, external (RCOG).

Dr David Booth, chief of division for Women and Children's Services at the NNUH says they take their responsibility for training the next generation of doctors very seriously.

Last night the doors of St Andrew's Hall opened for the 40th Norwich Beer Festival, external.

More than 20,000 people are expected to attend the six-day event, which offers a choice of 230 real ales, 80 ciders and 200 world beers.

It uses oversized lined glasses, to ensure a full pint is served every time.

The festival was started in 1977 by the Campaign for Real Ale.

Back then, a modest 20-25 beers were on offer, attracting 1,000 people to the neighbouring Blackfriars Hall.

The festival continues until Saturday night.

Hainford athlete Iona Lake has been chosen to represent Team GB in next year's Commonwealth Games.

The 24-year-old will participate in the 3000m steeplechase on Australia's Gold Coast.

Lake was crowned British steeplechase champion in Birmingham this summer, but April's games will be her first major international tournament.

The Labour leader says a remark made by Clive Lewis at a conference event was "completely wrong".

Nearly 9,000 Norwich City fans will make the trip to the Emirates tonight and confidence is high after Derby Day success against Ipswich on Sunday.

The Canaries face the Gunners in the League Cup, with a place in the quarter finals up for grabs.

City will be without defender Grant Hanley who's cup-tied, but Russell Martin returns to the squad.

City's head coach Daniel Farke says pitting his wits against Arsene Wenger will be a dream come true.

"He's legend, a role model for nearly all the coaches... it's a great honour to play a game against his team but I'm not so focused on shaking hands, I'm focused on my team and if it's possible we want to beat them," he said.

Full live coverage of Arsenal versus Norwich City is on BBC Radio Norfolk from 19:00, but only on FM, MW or DAB.

A motorcyclist was seriously injured in a collision between his motorbike and a black Mercedes car at Earsham near Bungay yesterday.

Emergency services were called to the A143 at the junction with The Street at around 19:10.

The road was closed while the incident was dealt with, and reopened at 22:30

The male motorcyclist was taken to the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston.

Police are appealing for any witnesses.

The business secretary Greg Clark has promised to do all he can to help staff at Britvic and Colman's, and to ensure that food production continues in Norwich.

He met with both the city's MPs yesterday, who told him that losing the two firms would have a major impact on jobs and the economy of the city.

Norwich North MP Chloe Smith said that around 350 jobs could be on the line, as well as the loss of the Colman's brand, which is historically linked to Norwich.

The Conservative MP asked Mr Clark to back the Local Enterprise Partnership in assisting the two companies to find local solutions.

Labour MP Clive Lewis, who represents Norwich South, said he doesn't think the timescales the government are talking about are sufficient for him to be able to tell the workforce that this will help in the future of the site.

An offshore worker is being treated in hospital after suffering serious crush injuries sustained while transferring from a ship to a gas platform.

The incident happened last Tuesday when the man was transferring from the supply vessel Kroonborg to the Galleon unmanned platform, which is operated by Shell in the Clipper Field, to the north of Cromer.

He was airlifted by the UK Coastguard helicopter, and taken to a hospital in Hull for treatment. No further details of his conditon are known.

The ship, known as a walk-to-work vessel, was brought back to Great Yarmouth harbour after the incident and was boarded by inspectors by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

It's believed the vessel, which was built in 2015, is now in Rotterdam.

HSE says an investigation into the incident is under way.

Earlier, Suffolk Police said there had been a "small amount" of disorder at yesterday's Ipswich v Norwich derby...

Two men have now been charged with offences...

A 28-year-old man from Biggleswade is accused of using threatening behaviour, and a 22 year-old man from Chelmsford has been charged with using threatening behaviour to provoke unlawful violence and possession of cannabis.

Three men have been cautioned - an 18-year-old on suspicion of possessing a flare, and an 18-year-old and a 21-year-old arrested on suspicion of using threatening behaviour.

A 16-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of affray has been released under investigation.

Two people were issued with fixed penalty notices.

More than 50 years after a film was last shown on its screen, the Palace Cinema in Gorleston is reopening.

It follows months of refurbishment to return the building to its former glory.

The Palace Cinema is open this week for a preview, ahead of a grand opening at the beginning of November.

Luke Hockley-Hills, who also runs the Palace Cinema in Felixstowe, said a lot of effort has gone into the project: "Initially it was a bingo hall so the refurb has been quite intense and all the workers put in a lot of time and effort.

"It's going to be shaping up to be a lovely cinema.

"As is the case with our Felixstowe cinema, it still looks and feels like a nice old cinema with the up-to-date technology to bring you the films in the best sound environment, best picture quality that can be imagined."

Council officers take samples of the unknown substance away for analysis.

Nice to see a response from Gary Barlow to our report on problems so many people had accessing tickets to see him in Thetford Forest in the summer:

An attempt will be made by Conservative MPs in Parliament this afternoon to try to censure Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for Norwich South.

Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealdon in Sussex, says she will ask the Speaker for an emergency debate to discuss a remark which he made to another man at a comedy fringe event at the Labour Party conference.

Mr Lewis has unreservedly apologised for using a word which is derogatory towards women.

But Ms Ghani has said on Twitter that Mr Lewis's comments "undermine parliament and women".

Other Conservatives are supporting her: the Norwich North MP Chloe Smith has said that Mr Lewis has "let down the city we proudly represent", while the Berwick-upon-Tweed MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan has tweeted, external "unacceptable language & mysogigny [sic] from Labour MPs cannot be allowed to continue."

Conservatives are making a fuss about this because there have been allegations of misogyny and racism surrounding the far left for some time, although very little evidence.

But it would be highly unusual, possibly even unprecedented for the speaker to allow such a debate to go ahead.

Over the weekend Mr Lewis was condemned by the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn who called his comments "completely unacceptable". But he has said that Mr Lewis will not lose the Labour whip because he has apologised.

A 56-year-old man was seen wielding a sword in front of people.

Goalkeeper Remi Matthews could be in line for an extended loan period at Plymouth, says Argyle boss Derek Adams.

The future of drink and mustard production in Norwich will be raised at both Westminster and in the European Parliament this evening.

It follows the announcement that Britvic is to close its site in the city - the same site where Colman's (owned by Unilever) makes its mustard.

The two Norwich MPs - the Conservatives' Chloe Smith and Labour's live Lewis will meet with the business secretary Greg Clark to ask him to do what he can to secure jobs in the city, while a similar appeal will be made in Strasbourg by the Labour MEP for the East of England Alex Mayer.

In the last few weeks all three have been holding meetings with government ministers and trade unions to discuss the possible closure of the Carrow Road site.

I understand that Clive Lewis will attend tonight's meeting despite a weekend of controversy over comments he made at a recent Labour Party conference fringe event.

Given that Britivic and Unilever are still finalising their plans, there isn't much practical help which anyone can give at the moment.

The idea behind these meetings is to keep the issue at the top of ministers' minds so that when help is needed, it can be given quickly.
