BBC Local Live: Norfolk

The clocks may have changed, but we're still here at the same time as usual.

Among the stories we're going to be taking a closer look at is a warning from police to stay within the law and show respect this Halloween. Last year they received more than 100 extra calls than a usual day in October.

We'll also bring you news of a rave at St Benet's Abbey which led to four people being arrested on Sunday morning.

But we'll start with a look at what the weather's got in store, and first impressions are, it's going to be a lovely day when the spooky Halloween mist clears...

That's it for our regular news updates for today - and for the week. 

Our main stories today have been the inquest into the death of a man from Poland, who drowned after getting caught in a rip tide at Sea Palling, and the mother from west Norfolk who's been refused permission to stay here after her visa expired.

Norwich City travel to Brighton tomorrow for The Championship - and it's touch and go for Pinto.

On a lighter note, a Hallowe'en cake baked by Norfolk's Great British Bake Off contestant Kate Barmby has raised £440 for Pudsey.

The cake was auctioned live on BBC Radio Norfolk, as part of its fundraising for BBC Children in Need - and the winning bid was donated by the staff at Perfect Placement Website at the St Andrews Business Park near Norwich.

The staff regularly hold bake-off fundraisers for charities and were over the moon to receive the Hallowe-en themed cake from Kate at their office - but they're not sure that they can cut into it because it looks so good.

Finally - good luck to Norwich City chairman Ed Balls, who's dancing the Cha Cha to Love Potion No 9 in a Hallowe'en edition of Strictly Come Dancing tomorrow night - let's hope it's not a nightmare for him. 

Have a great weekend - we'll be back at 08:00 on Monday.

Alex Chapman came to Norfolk from her native New Zealand and got married to a local farmer Will Chapman four years ago.

They live in Oxborough, near King's Lynn, with their five-month-old daughter Olivia, and wish to stay together as a family. But the Home Office has refused her permission to remain here.

28-year-old Alex's visa expired last December - it was just after Christmas when the family heard her application to remain here with her family was refused. 

The Home Office wasn't satisfied with information about her means - and wasn't convinced it would pose serious hardship for the couple to live outside the UK, in New Zealand.

Alex works in the office of WR Chapman and Son, which is run by her husband where she draws a salary of about £11,000. 

The couple have already spent £5,000 on legal fees and costs and it will cost thousands more to be represented at an appeal hearing scheduled for next February, but now postponed.

In the meantime, her New Zealand passport is held by the Home Office and the couple remain in limbo.

We've contacted the Home Office for their statement, but are still waiting to hear from them..

Hospitals in Norfolk are millions of pounds in the red this year, despite having made huge savings. 

The government has put in an extra £1.8bn to help the NHS in England to end deficits by 2017/18, but Sunday Politics East has discovered that this year hospitals in our region are running deficits of £336 million in total.

In Norfolk, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn is expecting to be running a £5.3m deficit by the end of this financial year, while the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital will have a £31m hole in its finances.

The James Paget Hospital at Gorleston is one of the few balancing its books and expects a £2m surplus by 2017.

In all that's a £34 million shortfall across the county's acute hospitals.

Hospitals have been given special funds by the Department of Health but only on the condition that they hit agreed savings targets. 

All but two of the acute hospitals in the East are in deficit.

Tonight will be mainly dry, with clear intervals and some patches of mist and fog. 

Temperatures are expected to fall to around 10C (50F) across the Eastern region.

Tomorrow morning any mist and fog may take a little while to clear and then it’ll be a dry day with some bright or sunny intervals as the temperature peaks at 17C (63F).

People in rural communities, businesses and land owners are attending a summit where they'll be hearing how Norfolk's police and crime commissioner (PCC) plans to tackle countryside crime.

Earlier this year, there were nearly 30 thefts in the space of three weeks in the south of the county, and the National Farmers Union is paying out more and more in insurance.

PCC Lorne Green says he'll "throw more resources" at the problem: "We started with six officers, boosted this to 12 and will go to 20 by the new year."

Asst Ch Constable Nick Dean says the police alone can't tackle crime: "It's a joint approach - we look to members of the community to come forward with information and intelligence that we link and piece together."

So how will Mr Green fund his fight against rural crime?

It's been confirmed that a "small" number of child migrants will be resettled in Norfolk. 

The county council says the priority will be tending to their needs.

Whether or not to offer shelter to refugees and migrants has been a hot political issue in Norfolk. Fifty Syrian refugees are already due to arrive in Norfolk from January as part of a government resettlement project.

But that wasn't supported by all councillors. During a vote on the issue in July, six UKIP representatives voted against the plan after it was revealed it would cost the authority £400,000.

Today it was confirmed that unaccompanied child migrants fleeing war zones would also be relocated here. 

It's not been confirmed how many children will be helped, when they will come here or how much the scheme will cost Norfolk County Council.

The family of Leszek Puchala has paid tribute to him after he drowned in the sea near Great Yarmouth.

His son, Przemek and daughter-in-law Katarzyna, who live in Thetford, were at the hearing with their baby daughter. 

Their statement said: "We would like to thank our father for always providing us with help, advice and his loving heart. 

"He was a very good man who never refused to help anybody...a loving and decent husband, father of three and grandfather, and a loyal friend to many - around 200 people attended his funeral." 

An inquest in Norwich today heard that medical fitness may have been a contributing factor in the death of a Leszek Puchala at Sea Palling.

Norwich Coroner's Court heard that Mr Puchala had coronary artherosclerosis, a furring up of the heart and arteries. 

Under stress, that may have contributed to him becoming unconscious and having collapsed.

Area coroner Yvonne Blake gave a narrative conclusion, stating Mr Puchala got into difficulties while swimming and "he was pulled ashore and rescued and resuscitation commenced. Unfortunately that did not succeed and he was pronounced dead at the scene".  

She added that it was a "really tragic outcome" on what should have been a happy occasion. 

Ms Blake passed on her sincere condolences to the family and also said several people who helped in the rescue, including 14-year-old David Castleman from Essex, have been recommended for awards by the Royal Humane Society.

Matthew Steiner and his wife were at Sea Palling on the day that a man from Poland got caught in a rip current and died.

Today, an inquest into the death of 52-year-old Leszek Puchala heard a statement from Mr Steiner, which said he'd seen four men in the water.

Initially he'd thought nothing was wrong, but then heard shouting: "A man came running towards me, and I ran with him to see what was going on... I saw something was wrong."

"The two other men were about 50m from the beach, the water looked calm and still... locals nearby said the rock barriers by the sea can make strong rip tides... they know if they're caught in the tide [they should] to go with the current and it'll eventually come clear.

"The other thing I'd like to mention is the delay in people getting into the water to help was because it was not clear the four people were in distress - it appeared they were just having fun in the sea. 

"As soon as it was apparent they were in trouble, the public were very quick to help rescue."

Brighton and Hove Albion host Norwich City FC in the Championship tomorrow.
