Before we go, a reminder of our two main stories today:

A High Court challenge is to be launched over the decision last month by the government to dismiss planning approval which had been given for more than 400 homes at Hatchfield Farm in Newmarket.

Lord Derby, who owns the land, says: "We have reluctantly concluded that there is no alternative but to challenge the secretary of state's decision in the High Court."

Forest Heath District Council, which approved the plans in 2015, say they will discuss the issue when they meet on 11 October, and "consider every angle very carefully before making any decision ourselves about our own steps."

He's described as being about 5ft 5in tall (1.6m), aged between 21 and 26, of lean build with muscly arms and dirty blonde hair.

There was a music event at the pub during the evening and police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen someone matching the man's description, or who may have taken any photographs inside.

They're also appealing for witnesses who may have see a man and a woman walking on Leiston Road shortly after 22:00.

"I don't enjoy it, nobody would when you're doing your job, and you've got ironic, sarcastic chants. 

"But listen, I've had the other side, the calls of 'Super Mick', and I take them both with the same feeling, because I know it can change around very quickly if we start to get results. 

"We all prefer it when they're cheering for us, it's not easy when people are jeering and booing, but they pay their money and want to see better performances, I've no complaints with it."

Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue, external team will carry on searching for Corrie Mckeague indefinitely "providing the police keep asking us to search and there's reasonable information for us to go on".

Chairman Andy King said: "There's no time limit on a search.

"This is probably the longest one I can remember, but it's also probably the most unusual."

Mr Mckeague has been missing since the early hours of Saturday, 24 September. The last confirmed sighting of the serviceman, based at RAF Honington, was on CCTV in Brentgovel Street in Bury St Edmunds.

Plans for devolution for Norfolk and Suffolk appear to be in trouble again.

The idea behind devolution is that money and powers will be taken away from Whitehall and given to the two counties. But reaching agreement is proving to be anything but easy - not least because of concerns about having to have an elected mayor.

Half of Norfolk's councils voted against the plans in the summer, and now I understand that opposition to the deal is growing on the county council and on King's Lynn & West Norfolk council...  possibly even in Suffolk, which up until now has been solidly behind the plans.

Intensive talks are now taking place. One person told me the thumbscrews are being applied at the highest level. 

But time is running out and the next fortnight will be critical. 

A woman who was reported missing last week from Ipswich has been found safe by police.

Alison Garcia, 47, had last been seen on Wednesday night in Rushmere Road.

Corrie Mckeague's mother has described the RAF as "like a family", stressing that the friends who had been with him on the night he disappeared "are not responsible" for his disappearance.

Nicola Urquhart continued: "Corrie does the same thing every time he goes out.

"Once he goes out, he is an absolute creature of habit. He will leave absolutely on his own; that is not unusual. He will go and get food, and if he has to lay down and have a sleep before he goes home, he will.

"Nothing in his behaviour was even remotely unusual and the boys that he was with would not have been able to stop him from doing that, because that's what he does."

Corrie Mckeague's brother Darroch, 21, said he'd spoken to him frequently on the day prior to his disappearance.

He said they were "beyond happy", having a laugh with each other.

"He's excited to go out, I was working on the Saturday so I was getting ready to go to bed - nothing unusual whatsoever. The conversation was just the way me and him act with each other, the laughs we were having," he said.

It will be a dry evening and night with clear spells and some patchy mist and fog. Not as cold as last night, with a low of 9C (48F).

Tomorrow morning any mist and fog should quickly clear to leave a fine and dry day with spells of sunshine, and a high of 18C (64F).

There are more details on the BBC Weather website.

Nicola Urquhart says she and her family will stay in Suffolk "for as long as we need to be here for the police".

She said they would help by giving them as much detail as possible before returning home.

"The police have been fantastic; the RAF have been fantastic," she said.

"We can't achieve anything by being down here so we will just go home when we don't need to be here."

The mother of a missing airman appeals for anyone who saw her "good-looking lad" to contact police.

Police are adamant that the search for Corrie Mckeague is a "missing person inquiry, and not an abduction inquiry".

Acting Supt Kim Warner said: "There's nothing to suggest at this stage that there's any third party involved but quite rightly you would expect me to say 'we rule nothing in, and we rule nothing out'."

Pilot Maurice Hammond has been described as a "fantastic guy", who was obviously keen on historic aircraft.

Derek Fulton supports Mr Hammond at charitable events, bringing along military vehicles from that age.

Speaking to the BBC's Kim Riley earlier, he said he was "most upset" to hear about the accident at Hardwick airfield yesterday, which claimed the life of a passenger and seriously injured Mr Hammond.

Mr Fulton said he heard the aircraft when it went up yesterday, describing the sound of the purr as "beautiful" and saying he detected nothing unusual.

Acting Supt Kim Warner has described the connection with a refuse lorry and Corrie Mckeague's mobile phone as one of several lines of inquiry.

He explained: "We know that the refuse lorry did travel between the two locations and the times did correlate loosely with the times in which the mobile telephone was picked up in Bury [St Edmunds] and then moving over there [to Barton Mills]".

But he said that, although a search was under way, the phone, a Nokia Lumia, had not yet been found.
