Emyr Huws admits the chance to link up with fellow Welshmen Jonny Williams and Tom Lawrence played a part in his move to Ipswich Town, external.

The trio, who've played international football together since their teenage years, were reunited when Huws joined the Blues on loan from Cardiff last week. 

"Me and Jonny go back to Under-15s, and Tom Under-17s," said Huws. "We've known each other for a long time and know each others' games.

"They're both top class footballers, with a lot of quality. Tom at the minute is flying and there's no limits for him, or Jonny. Fair play to Tom, he's on fire."

The midfielder was brought off during the first half of last weekend's 2-2 draw with Reading with an Achilles injury. 

"He's been having treatment and nursing it all week," said Town boss Mick McCarthy. "He'll be training with us tomorrow though.

"We've our fingers crossed that he doesn't have any negative reaction from it and that he'll be fine for Saturday."

Fire crews from Norfolk and Suffolk were called to a blaze in a property in south Norfolk earlier this morning. 

These pictures of the blaze, which broke out at about 07:00, were taken by Brian Smith. 

Incident commander Derek Simm says they had to strip the roof tiles off to access the loft and check the fire hadn't spread to adjoining properties. 

One man was taken from inside the building to hospital for a check-up. An investigation into the cause of the blaze is under way.  

The first stage of a huge housing development in Ipswich has been approved by councillors.

Concerns have been raised about the impact the development would have on the area, but borough councillor Carole Jones, who is in charge of housing, says these have been addressed.

"We've worked with a lot of interested parties including Westerfield Parish Council and it's very important to them and to us that we maintain a gap between them," she said.

"They are a village, and we are the Ipswich boundary. That is going to be kept and the country park will be between us."

Paramedics were called to Ancaster Road at 18:30 last night to reports a man had suffered stab wounds.

This is what Clarkes of Walsham at Jimmy's Farm looks like from the inside this morning.

On the wooden floor are items of clothing damaged in the ram-raid. 

Then as you look beyond that you can see a lot of the shelves and the hangers are completely bare, as we understand that over 100 Barbour and Schoffel jackets were taken in the raid.

If you haven't been to Jimmy's Farm, it's got a small range of independently-run stores on site, one of which was attacked last night. 

This morning, on the lawn in front of the shop itself there's a pink checked shirt, just lying there with its coat hanger still in place.

As I walk down the pavement past a couple of fence posts which have been discarded and chucked onto the pathway, you can see the damage that's actually been caused to the front of the shop.

And you can see the skid marks of the car where it's obviously gone into the building itself, it's taken away at least three-quarters of the brick work. The brick work has been pushed inside the shop, the window has buckled and is leaning into the shop itself.
