A report into a "near miss" involving two US Air Force jets from Lakenheath and an RAF refuelling plane off the coast of Norfolk says that two causes were uncovered, external by RAF investigators, as well as several "contributory" factors.

The "causal factors" were that the controller did not effectively prevent the F15 from entering the airspace around the RAF Voyager plane, and the F15s entered the Air to Air Refuelling Area (AARA) unaware that it was active.

It emerged during the investigation the F15 pilots only had information about AARA activity which involved USAF assets.

A recommendation regarding the "filtering" of this information has subsequently been adopted.

The investigation also identified confusion among a number of parties over the naming of certain airspace areas.

When the F15s requested permission to operate in the "Wash" and the "Northern half of the Wash", the controllers assumed they were referring to the "geographic Wash" rather than the "Wash Aerial Tactics Area".

The mother of missing airman Corrie Mckeague says she's going to speak to police today, to ask them to explain what the press release they issued last week, external, actually meant.

Nicola Urquhart, pictured during a previous interview, said: "I don't understand how they can say he is in there [the Milton landfill site] but 'we're not searching any more'. It just doesn't make sense."

She continued: "Let us help financially, let us help physically searching, or ask the military to assist them, but do something, don't just walk away if that's where they think he is."

"The biggest fear we have is that they're handling the landfill back and it's going to start being filled in before we've had the opportunity to understand what's happened, why they've just suddenly stopped."

Mrs Urquhart said her appeal for the search to continue "doesn't diminish" her gratitude for what police have done so far, but says "there are other things that could be done".

"The picture in my head is that Corrie is literally one more lorry load away from being found in that landfill or he is one more lorry load away from the police being able to turn round and say 'we know Corrie is not in this landfill now' and that's the sort of answer we should be getting."

We'll contact police to get their response to this latest request from Mrs Urquhart.

A paralysed man who was evicted from a Norfolk hospital is not to be removed from his emergency accommodation for now, but a "firm decision" will be made, a council said.

Adriano Guedes was placed in emergency housing in Lowestoft after the James Paget University Hospital obtained a court order and evicted him earlier this year.

The 64-year-old refuses to claim benefits and pay his rent, and has been served with an eviction notice by Waveney District Council, external.

Their chief executive, Stephen Baker, says the council is sympathetic to Mr Guedes' condition and appreciates he's vulnerable and in a challenging situation with his physical condition.

One of Britain's longest staying bed-blockers, who was evicted from the James Paget University Hospital after more than two years, says he's had enough and wants to die.

Adriano Guedes, who's paralysed from the chest down, was forced out of the hospital in January because he no longer needed treatment and placed in special housing near Lowestoft.

Mr Guedes, 64, now faces being evicted because he refuses to claim benefits and pay his rent.

He says he's had enough and can take no more, adding that the only thing he's free to do is make his own decisions.

A man is due to appear before magistrates in Ipswich later, charged with the murder of a man in Bury St Edmunds last week.

Mourad Belarbi, 43, of Lake Avenue in the town, is accused of murdering Geoffrey Caton, 57, of nearby Cumberland Avenue.

Mr Caton was stabbed at the Cumberland Avenue property at about 17:50 on Thursday.

Mr Belarbi was arrested on the same day and charged with murder on Saturday night.

A post-mortem examination confirmed the victim died as a result of multiple stab wounds.

Ipswich Town, external boss Mick McCarthy admits he wasn't overly disappointed to see his side lose 2-1 at Gillingham on Saturday.

Strikes from Tom Eaves and Scott Wagstaff put the League One side ahead before substitute Danny Rowe grabbed a consolation for the Blues.

"We’re trying to play more, certainly on the floor and I thought we did that in the first half - I thought we were excellent," McCarthy said.

"There were some good blocks, some good saves, maybe a couple of misses that we shouldn't have had. I was really pleased with the first-half performances.

"The second-half was going nowhere, we gave a penalty away and it just changes it. Maybe we start to get tired, we don’t move the ball as quickly, we didn’t get many chances."

Two US fighter jets based at Lakenheath, similar to those pictured, came within 164ft (50m) of an RAF refuelling plane - taking evasive action to avoid a catastrophic mid-air collision.

The incident happened in January, off the north Norfolk coast.

An RAF Voyager tanker had just completed refuelling a pair of RAF Typhoons when the two American F15 jets approached.

The Voyager pilot reported seeing the jets' afterburners and hearing a "roar".

A report , externalby the UK Airprox Board, which investigates near misses, says 15 recommendations have been adopted to avoid a repeat.

We've got a mix of dry and wet weather to come over the next few days.

Today we're looking pretty cloudy from the start across the BBC East region, with outbreaks of rain spreading southwards and eastwards with some drier spells inbetween.

The best chance of any brightness or sunshine will be this afternoon, particularly for Norfolk.

Top temperature: 19C (66F).

Thanks for joining us on this rather grey morning - not the best start to the six-week summer holidays for our youngsters - or their parents.

What's in the news today?

Well, the early stories making the headlines are:

• Two US fighter jets from Lakenheath had to take evasive action to avoid a mid-air collision earlier this year

• Corrie Mckeague's mum says it's "amazing" that more than 21,000 people have signed a petition urging police to resume their search of the landfill site for her son

We'll bring you more on these, and other stories that catch our eye during the day.

But first of all, we'll find out from Georgina Burnett if we're going to see any blue sky at all. She'll be with us next.

A man was charged after tests showed the victim died of multiple stab wounds.

Nicola Urquhart says she wants to stop police filling a landfill where she thinks her son's body is.

A look back at some of the top entertainment stories over the past seven days.

The disappearance of Corrie Mckeague has been leading news in the local press for months and today is no exception.

• The Bury Free Press, external covered today's press conference, writing that Suffolk Police had commissioned a review of its work to see if anything further could be done to trace Corrie.
• The East Anglian Daily Times, external says the search team put down their tools this afternoon after searching through more than 6,500 tonnes of waste at Milton landfill site.
• Meanwhile, the Cambridge News, external says police will now search for Corrie in incinerated waste that may have come from the area where the 23-year-old went missing.

Nicola Urquhart has just been speaking to BBC Look East.

She said disappointment "doesn't come close" at the decision by Suffolk Police to halt its search of the landfill site at Milton for her son - missing RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague.

She said: "I'm so angry, I'm beyond devastated that they've [Suffolk Police] misled me, that my sons, our family, have all believed that this would come to a natural end, that either they'd find Corrie in the landfill or they can then tell us he's not there.

"It was only on Wednesday they told me they were going to do a press release and they would be saying 'we think he's still in there but we're not searching anywhere', and that's not what they've told the press today but that is what they've told me.

"I can live with Corrie never being found - any parent would just find a way of coping with that and dealing with that, but that's on the back of knowing that everything's been done to try and find them - people go missing and just don't get found so I would find a way of dealing with that.

"I do not want to be anybody that criticises the police ever, but what they've done is wrong."

Det Supt Katie Elliott earlier told press all evidence suggested Corrie was still at the landfill site, but "without anything further to tell us where he might be, on such a vast site, the search cannot continue".

The disappearance of Corrie Mckeague has been a social media phenomenon.

Each year, an estimated 250,000 people go missing.

But very few of them generate such long-lasting and widespread interest as the 23-year-old airman.

Almost 130,000 people have followed the Find Corrie Facebook page, external, with followers posting well-wishes for Nicola Urquhart, and sons Darroch and Makeyan, and their own theories as to what may have happened.

In December, Mrs Urquhart was photographed searching woodland for any trace of her son, at a point in the investigation when it was thought he might have tried to walk home.

The picture formed part of a Facebook post which read: "This mum is searching forest undergrowth for her child.

"Her baby boy. Though an adult, he's her baby still.... It could be one of us parents looking for our child instead."

It was shared 270,000 times and attracted almost 28,000 comments. Comments were still being posted in April.

It was not just on social media that the interest in Mr Mckeague's disappearance became apparent.

Artist Ruddy Muddy sketched an image of Mr Mckeague into dirt on the back of his van, baby blue-coloured wristbands displaying "Find Corrie" were distributed, car stickers were made and posters seen throughout East Anglia and beyond.

Both Mrs Urquhart and Forbes McKenzie, from the hired data experts, put his appeal down to the fact that he was an airman, and the British public are "good at getting behind the forces".

Plus, they said, he was a good-looking boy - a "capable, fit young man who should be able to look after himself", according to his mother.

Mr McKenzie also points to the "feeling of injustice that not enough was getting done" in order to try to find him.

The story of the young airman who vanished on a night out baffled the nation - what happened to Corrie Mckeague?

As part of the search for Corrie Mckeague, his mobile phone was traced and it was discovered it had been in Bury St Edmunds in the early hours of Saturday, 24 September, but then moved to the Barton Mills area.

Police searched a bin lorry, after finding its route matched the movements of the phone, but released it after it was found not to contain Corrie's lost phone.

After thousands of frames of CCTV footage were trawled through, with no evidence that Corrie had left the area, questions began to be asked about whether he had been in one of the bins taken to a landfill site.

Initially, the weight of the lorry's load was reported to have been 15kg (33lb) - too light to have contained Mr Mckeague, and so the landfill site wasn't searched.

But in early March, it was revealed the load weighed significantly more than that - more than 100kg (15st 10lb).

The search of the landfill site at Milton began on 6 March, after a month of preparation of the area for the search team.
