"We've had a tough start, but we've got a young team that is passing and trying to play some decent football," he said.

"It's important we stay grounded after these recent wins and not get away from what he have been doing well."

The first victim was approached in the street by two men, one of whom then stabbed him in his back. He's received hospital treatment, and his condition is described as stable.

The second victim attempted to intervene, and suffered a cut to the back of his head and a serious hand injury. He's undergoing hospital treatment, with the injury to his hand described as potentially life-changing.

Police say they're treating it as an isolated incident and don't believe there is any wider threat to the community, although Det Ch Insp Barry Byford added: "We will be increasing patrols in the area to provide reassurance to local residents."

Police, who are viewing hours of CCTV footage to see if they can find further sightings of missing airman Corrie Mckeague, are asking anyone in the Bury area who has private CCTV to take a look and see if they have footage of him.

They also want any market traders who were setting up in the early hours of Saturday, 24 September morning to come forward if they haven't yet spoken to the team working on the case.

Acting Supt Kim Warner said: "If you were out in the Bury, Honington or Barton Mills area between Friday night and Saturday and saw Corrie we need to speak to you."

Police say the search of a bin lorry, which had been seized as it was thought it may contain Corrie Mckeague's mobile phone, has failed to find it.

The 23-year-old airman from RAF Honington has not been seen since 24 September when he was filmed by CCTV cameras in Bury St Edmunds during a night out.

The Nokia Lumia 435 phone is thought to have been in a black PVC leather case which was frayed and worn around the edges. 

Investigations continue to find the phone which police have tracked from Bury St Edmunds to the Barton Mills area on the following Saturday.

Anyone with information about the phone is asked to contact police.

Police are continuing to investigate a rape which took place after a woman left The Railway pub in Aldeburgh on Friday night.

Insp Richard Hill said: "We continue to do some house-to-house and we're appealing for witnesses to come forward, particularly those who may have been in or around the area of The Railway public house... in particular any people that may have taken photographs at a music event held in the pub that night."

Police say they would like to "offer some reassurance" to the public in Aldeburgh, following the rape of a woman on Friday night.

Insp Richard Hill said: "As far as we're aware, this is an isolated incident, and we have increased patrols in the area."

The victim is being supported by specialist officers, but police say they'll do their best "to look after her as best we can".

Police say members of the public can do their bit to help in the search for missing airman Corrie Mckeague.

Acting Supt Kim Warner, the officer leading the investigation, said: "If they're out walking their dog or they're going on a bike ride, just keep half an eye out and see if there's anything that they think is odd, perhaps more so than they might do normally.

"That's really important as it boosts the number of eyes and ears that we have out and about that might just give us something that would indicate where he is.

"We've had somewhere in the region of 40-odd people in total out for several days looking at routes - the A143 and either side of it, the A134 and either side of that, villages such as Troston and Great Livermere

"The public have a part to play with it as well."

John Digby added: "I don't think there's been a rape case ever - the town's in shock, this sort of thing just doesn't happen in Aldeburgh."

Police are investigating the assault, when a man approached the woman and walked her to a road called The Plantation, where he raped her in an alleyway.

A seriously injured pilot was wearing his helmet, offering "a high degree of protection for his head" when his vintage aeroplane crashed to the ground at a south Norfolk airfield at the weekend.

Nik Coleman, a spokesman for the family of Maurice Hammond says Mr Hammond remains "sedated to aid his recovery" at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and his family are encouraged by his progress.

Further tests and assessments will be carried throughout the day "with a view to the best positive actions for his ongoing recovery", adds Mr Coleman. 

A passenger in the World War Two Mustang, a man in his 80s, died at the scene. Hardwick airfield, between Long Stratton and Bungay, remains closed off.

"It's very strange, is the truth", says Acting Supt Kim Warner, speaking about the disappearance of airman Corrie Mckeague.

"23-years-old, he's in the RAF, he takes care of himself physically, he's a fit and able guy, he'd think nothing of walking considerable distances and that's what makes this particular situation so odd.

"It's so important that we get people to... see the [CCTV] footage, and if they have any information whatsoever, to come forward and let the police know."

The police officer leading the investigation into the disappearance of Corrie Mckeague, says the family's involvement "was very helpful to the inquiry".

Acting Supt Kim Warner was speaking after yesterday's press conference, which was attended by Corrie's mother Nicola Urquhart, and brothers Darroch (pictured) and Makeyon.

He said it was massively important: "It can be a bit sterile for members of the public just having a police officer stand in front of them, asking for details of witnesses to come forward.

"To have the family actually there, to see them in the flesh as it were, adds a sense of it could be anyone's son or daughter that's missing and that makes it really important."

Eighty children were permanently excluded from schools in Suffolk last year, meaning the county has the 13th highest figure nationally, external - more than Liverpool and some London boroughs.

Neil Watts, former head teacher of Northgate High School in Ipswich, says: "You don't do it lightly but it's an important tool in the headteacher's weaponry.

"A headteacher's job is to look after the individual, but also to look after the majority in the school.

"There are times when as a head, you have a relatively limited range of sanctions, and sometimes for the protection of the individual, for the protection of the whole community, or the protection of the teacher in some cases, it's necessary to use your ultimate sanction which is exclusion."

The number of children excluded from school in Suffolk last year on a temporary basis totalled more than 3,700.

It means Suffolk lies in 18th place nationally for these "fixed-term" exclusions, out of more than 160 authorities.

The statistics about permanent exclusions are even worse - we'll bring you those shortly.

Looking at the national picture, Barnsley and Middlesbrough had the worst figures.
