Thanks for joining us on a day when Suffolk Police told how they believe it is "less and less likely" that missing Weybread woman Sylvia Stuart will be found alive. 

To read more about their progress in the investigation into her disappearance, and the murder of her husband Peter - and how they want your help - scroll down.

BBC Springwatch reports a "drama-filled morning" from Minsmere, with an adder invading the whitethroat nest and the stoat trying to get into the blue tit nest.

Fostered baby great tits had a lucky escape when a stoat was too big to fit through the hole to a nest box containing the chicks.

The single parent blue tit who is raising the great tit chicks has been back since, and the babies have been fed.

Meanwhile, the whitethroat chicks are a few days off being ready to fledge, but suddenly they "exploded" out of the nest, leaving the Springwatch team wondering what was happening. 

Then an adder appeared in the nest.

All that coupled with a BBC Radio Suffolk live outside broadcasts from the reserve means it's been a busy old day.

This evening showers in the south will ease, leaving most parts clear and dry, with a minimum overnight low of 12C (53F).

However, some low cloud and mist will edge in from the North Sea spreading westwards, with some murky conditions developing for most by Thursday morning.

Policing closed roads was "inextricably linked" with policing inside the stadium, Dijen Basu QC told the High Court.

Mr Basu, for Suffolk Police, said: "The policing of the closed roads is plainly for the benefit of the club and those attending its matches upon payment, rather than for the general public at large.

"The concern of the force is that the policed football matches require officers to be specially on duty, to be deployed to the closed roads (and stadium), when they would otherwise not be required for duty, at a considerable cost."

Suffolk Police has made a counterclaim against the club for more than £96,000 in unpaid invoices for policing costs.

The case continues.

Ipswich Town Football Club made the decision to sue Suffolk Police after Leeds United won a case against West Yorkshire Police, on the validity of match day charges.

In that case, the judge ruled charges could not be levied for policing public land on match days, but only for providing its services on land under the club's control.

Leeds United won about £2m, which prompted many other clubs to launch similar cases against their local forces.

Ipswich Town FC is suing Suffolk Police at the High Court for more than £200,000, claiming it was "unlawfully" charged for policing costs on match days.

The club says Suffolk Police should not have charged for keeping order in the streets, including Portman Road and Sir Alf Ramsey Way, and want the money back.

Nick De Marco, for Ipswich Town Football Club Company Ltd, told the High Court the club "has been and currently is being charged by the police for ordinary policing on the public highway".

He added: "This is unlawful as the police may not charge for discharging their normal policing duties."

You've heard of the Aviva Women's Tour? The huge national cycling race, of which stage one runs through Suffolk next Wednesday.

Well apart from the 132km event which will see world-class cyclists almost flying through the Suffolk countryside, there will also be a 100-metre long mascot running race.

Mascots from local businesses, supporting groups and organisations are invited to take part, a bit like some did at the Suffolk Show.

Here they are, including our very own Pudsey Bear, before they raced into action last week.

Interested? You need to get in touch with Sarah Shinnie, external to find out more.

Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn has welcomed the decision to extend the deadline for registering to vote in the EU Referendum. 

Speaking in Ipswich today, he told me: "I would continue to urge people to register.

"This is a democracy. Whatever your view we want as many people to partake, and in a very British way we think people left it to the last minute to register."

After the Vote Leave campaign swept into Suffolk yesterday, the Labour In bus came to the Cornhill in Ipswich today, greeted by a crowd of supporters. 

Vote Leave only mustered a handful of backers today, maybe they were taking a rest after yesterday's excitement when Boris Johnson and Michael Gove were in town.

However, that didn't stop them heckling and shouting at the Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn, as he addressed Remain supporters.

The deadline for registering to vote in the EU Referendum has been extended, the government has said.

Cabinet Office minister and West Suffolk MP Matt Hancock said the government would legislate to extend the cut-off until midnight on Thursday.

Despite a public consultation where 20 alternative sites were identified, councils in West Suffolk are likely to go ahead with plans to develop Hollow Road Farm, external near Bury St Edmunds as a new waste hub. 

The proposed site is the large brown field to the right of the A134.

It will see waste services brought together at one site, but critics say the area doesn't have the infrastructure to cope with the new centre.

Peter Stevens, the councillor responsible for operations with St Edmundsbury Council, said: "We have made changes to the way we assessed the sites and studied 20 possible locations in detail. 

"Councillors will now be asked to look carefully at that research which has led to the Hollow Road Farm site again coming out as the best option before making a decision on the right way forward."

Despite being pleased with the win against Cumberland, Suffolk County Cricket Club coach Andy Northcote warned his players against complacency.

"One win doesn't make a season," the 33-year-old said. "It's going to be a tough year.

"This weekend will show players that we can do it and we can compete with the best."

Ipswich Town legend Terry Butcher has told BBC Suffolk that he thinks Mick McCarthy's side need to change just a couple of things to achieve promotion next year.

Butcher, 57, who won the UEFA Cup with The Blues in 1981, admitted that McCarthy was limited by his budget.

"The way we play has probably got to be tweaked a bit," he said.

"If we can just release the purse strings a little bit, get one or two quality players in, I think that's all it needs."

Suffolk County Cricket Club got off to the perfect start to their league season yesterday, with a win at last year’s champions Cumberland.

It follows a disastrous Knockout Trophy campaign where Suffolk lost all of their matches.

Coach Andy Northcote said: "To lose four and then go and win your first Minor Counties Championship fixture is phenomenal and really sets up the year now."

Detectives searching for a woman whose husband was found stabbed to death say it is becoming "less and less likely" she will be found alive.

One more update from our conversation with Det Ch Supt Simon Parkes about the murder of Peter Stuart and the search for Sylvia Stuart.

He told us that Ali Qazimaj, who is believed to have fled to France, is a suspect in both matters - the murder of Mr Stuart and the disappearance of his wife.

Police won't reveal whether Sylvia Stuart's passport has been found in the search of the Stuarts' Weybread property, but have confirmed there is no information to suggest she is involved in her husband's murder.

Det Ch Supt Simon Parkes said: "What I'm not prepared to do is to give any information which might be prejudicial to any court case, so I won't go there."

If you're a regular traveller on the A14 in the Stowmarket area, you'll know that roadworks and speed restrictions have been in place since 8 March.

The good news is that Highways England has told me that the £1.5m bridge repair project at Hill House will be completed by the end of next week, and the speed restrictions will be lifted as soon as that happens.

Det Ch Supt Simon Parkes says it is becoming less and less likely that Sylvia Stuart will be found alive.

Her whereabouts remain unknown, 10 days after the last confirmed sighting of her in Pulham Market.
