There's been a new face at Ipswich Town's Playford Road training ground in the form of Republic of Ireland striker Leon Best. 

The 29-year old is on trial at the club and he's been playing in a under-23s match against Birmingham City.

Best has previously played for Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers and most recently Rotherham.

He scored in the first half, but Town lost 3-2.

Town boss Mick McCarthy could be looking for reinforcements for the first team up front after David McGoldrick was ruled out for a number of weeks through injury.

It's little wonder that staff and visitors at the RSPB's Lakenheath Fen, external reserve are overjoyed that two pairs of cranes have successfully raised three chicks this year.

The Eurasian crane is one of Britain's rarest breeding birds, with only around 25 pairs nesting in the UK last year.

The species had been extinct in the UK as a breeding bird since the 1600s as a result of hunting and loss of habitat. 

In the 1970s they re-colonised the Norfolk Broads, and gradually started breeding elsewhere in the UK. 

Lakenheath isn't the only site in the Fens that's had success with cranes breeding this year. The RSPB's Nene Washes Reserve, external, near Peterborough, has also had three young fledge from two pairs this summer. 

A third pair unfortunately failed in their breeding attempt.

Two pairs of one of the UK's rarest breeding birds have successfully raised three chicks between them.

These shy and secretive birds have created a home at RSPB Lakenheath Fen, external, on the borders of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.

These two chicks (below with one parent) made their first flight in July - since then, they've been feeding and building up their strength under the watchful eyes of their parents. 

This pair of cranes were the first at Lakenheath Fen to successfully raise two young in 2015.

Rail passengers travelling between Norwich and Ely will have had a bird's eye view of the cranes. For others, the best place to spot them is from Joist Fen viewpoint, around 1.5 miles (2.4km) from the RSPB visitor centre.  

But you'll need to be quick... Lakenheath's cranes will soon be leaving the reserve to join others in the wider fens area, to feed and roost together over winter.

Two weeks ago we reported on a car which jumped the lights to beat the barriers coming down at a level crossing at Oulton Broad, Lowestoft.

In the process, video footage showed it mounting the pavement near a mother and her pushchair and undertaking two cars which had already stopped:

British Transport Police said they have now identified the Range Rover Evoque involved on 4 August.

A BTP spokesman said: "The registered keeper has been sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution. 

"Once we know who was driving, they will be reported."

As well as a £50,000 interim payment, Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust is now working on a lifelong compensation package for three-year-old Reuben Harvey-Smith.

The hospital said the full payment will cover things including:

• Cost of prosthetics/artificial legs
• Extra educational needs
• Adaptations to the family's Suffolk home
• Nursing and other support care

Ipswich Hospital has said lessons have been learnt after a failure to diagnose toxic shock syndrome in Reuben Harvey-Smith which resulted in the little boy having his legs and seven fingers amputated.

Nick Hulme, chief executive at Ipswich Hospital, said: "I can never say never, because we work with people who occasionally make mistakes. 

"We have changed the systems and processes and ensured there is more training for staff so we don't miss diagnoses. 

"In terms of the number of people that we see and the number of complex cases that we see sadly, very, very occasionally, situations like this happen. 

"It's important we don't try and defend the indefensible, that we apologise, take the learning and do as much as we can to support the family."

Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust's insurers are now working with the family of Reuben Harvey-Smith, 3, to agree a compensation package that will pay for the extra care and support he will need for the rest of his life.

Nick Hulme, chief executive of Ipswich Hospital, said: "This was a dreadful error... poor Reuben is now going to have a very difficult life because we missed a diagnosis in A&E. 

"We've been working with the family to ensure he has support for the rest of his life and has some funds available immediately so there's no delay in Reuben living as normal a life as possible. 

"We didn't spot the septic shock and should have done."

NHS Direct describes toxic shock syndrome, external as a life-threatening infection which can be caused by bacteria, which normally live harmlessly on the skin, entering the body's bloodstream via wounds.

The bacteria - Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes - can release poisonous toxins in the bloodstream which affect the functioning of organs.

Some of the symptoms are:

• Fever as body temperature rises above 38.9C (102F)
• Flu-like headaches, muscle aches and sore throats
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Faintness, dizziness or confusion

Tim Deeling, solicitor for the family of a three-year-old boy who had to have his legs and seven fingers amputated, said: "It is extremely concerning they were aware of the link between burns and toxic shock, yet didn't consider this for Reuben's case."

Ipswich Hospital has admitted liability for a failure to diagnose toxic shock, a rare but life-threatening bacterial infection, and has made an interim payment of £50,000 to the family of Reuben Harvey-Smith.

A man had a fractured eye socket, broken nose and cuts after being attacked while sitting outside a pub in Woodbridge.

Suffolk Police, external said the victim told them he was on a bench at The Anchor on Quay Street with two friends when they had a "short verbal exchange" with three other men - one of whom punched the victim.

The attacker is described as white, 20-years-old, slim and with 'flat' black hair.

The assault happened on Saturday, 9 July and police said they now had a better description of a man who was with the suspect - who is described as being white with corn-row style hair.  

Ipswich Hospital has apologised "unreservedly" after a three-year-old boy was misdiagnosed and had his legs and seven fingers amputated.

Reuben Harvey-Smith, who lives near Ipswich, was admitted to the hospital with burns in 2015 and told he had tonsillitis.

He was re-admitted the following day after becoming critically-ill and correctly diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome.

He was transferred to Paddington Hospital in London where the amputations were carried out.

His mother, Lou Harvey-Smith, said: "[Reuben] looked at his amputated legs and said 'poorly feet gone, get new ones'."

Ipswich Hospital has admitted amputation could have been avoided with an earlier diagnosis and treatment and a compensation package is being negotiated.

A hospital spokesman said: "In an ongoing legal case the trust has admitted full liability for shortcomings in the A&E care provided to Reuben in July 2015 and have offered an unreserved apology."

A thread in the forum section, external of the TWTD website has Ipswich Town supporters' reaction to the derby game.

"I am encouraged that the ball playing centre back we signed has quickly learnt how to hoof", writes 'blueislander'.

However, 'NewcyBlue' said: "We didn't just hoof it from our CB's as has been suggested. We had variety to our play, we deserved to win."

The managers of Ipswich Town and Norwich City give their reaction to the game.

It was the first East Anglian derby in 15 months - the last time Norwich City and Ipswich Town met was in the promotion play-offs.

But the two sides couldn't be separated yesterday, with the match finishing with a 1-1 draw.

Here's what the fans had to say:

Jay Lawrence
BBC Radio Norfolk

Norwich City striker Cameron Jerome says his side's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town was "probably a fair result".

Jerome scored the first goal in the tight encounter, before a "sloppy" Ipswich equaliser in first half stoppage time.

According to the forward, the Canaries "weathered the storm" in the first 45 minutes, but overall "there wasn't much in the game".
