This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies. | :00:04. | :00:13. | |
Our top story: One last throw of the dice for Bombardier. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
200 campaigners came to Westminster to demand a rethink over the | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
Thameslink contract, but their hopes have been dashed. We joined | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
the workers at dawn as they headed to the capital. We are fighting for | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
a future, fighting for the future of rail jobs in this country, | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
trains that should be built in this country by British workers. It is | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
not just the first day for these children, it is the first day for a | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
new type of school across the East Midlands. And the new Strictly Come | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:05. | ||
Good evening. First tonight, the battle for Bombardier was taken to | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
the heart of Government today. 200 workers, campaigners and | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
politicians left Derby and descended on Westminster, demanding | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
a re-think. They wanted a contract - worth almost �1.5 billion - to be | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
given to the local train-making firm rather than going abroad. Mike | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
O'Sullivan has spent the day with the Bombardier delegation, and | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
joins us now from Westminster. Good evening. This was the day that | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
a lot of Bombardier supporters had been looking forward to. The day | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
when the Government would be put on the spot by MPs at a hearing called | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
by the Transport Select Committee, perhaps leading to a breakthrough | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
in the fight for a re-think. Many left Derby early this morning with | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
:01:59. | :02:01. | ||
Their name on the train set it off. The spirit of Derby was carrying | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
the hopes of Bombardier supporters to London. On board, workers from | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
the company, business people, City Council politicians. They were | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
going to a transport select committee hearing of MPs. Questions | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
would be asked about how the Thames lank contract went to Siemens. That | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
might Thameslink. Many believed the Government could still reverse the | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
decision. It is affecting everybody in the supply chain. Thousands of | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
households. We are doing this to fight for the future of rail jobs | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
in this country. Trains that should be built in this country by British | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
workers. The campaigners have arrived here at St Pancras station. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Can they make a difference? They gathered outside Parliament as the | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
committee hearing got under way. First top, the chairman of | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Bombardier in the UK. He suggested his company had been beaten when it | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
came to finance. The Thameslink process was defined very narrowly. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
There was only one outcome. That signify is that finance as played | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
an extremely important part in this deal, as opposed to changing -- | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
choosing the best trained first. The Government is considering | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
looking at socio-economic conditions in future. It was too | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
late for Thameslink. There is a nuclear option. The case drew the | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
Secretary of State cannot board this process and this side to look | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
afresh at the affordability of the Thameslink project, and to start | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
over again. The consequences would be significant. I think it has | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
reinforced the message that this campaign goes on. We are not going | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
to accept what we have been given in terms of no renegotiation. | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
had been Derby's Beye in the capital. Many consider -- consider | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
their hopes battered but not beaten. Clearly a disappointing day for the | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Bombardier workers and their supporters, but what have the firm | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
and, indeed, the Transport Secretary being saying about the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
day's events? Well, I interviewed the Transport Secretary after the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
hearing, and put it to him that he had missed the opportunity to make | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
sure that the impact on jobs could have been factored in as part of | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
the contract process. We'll hear from him in a moment. I also spoke | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
to Colin Walton, the UK chairman of Bombardier, who said he was pleased | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
the Government seemed to be on the verge of taking a much wider view | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
:04:58. | :05:04. | ||
There are some big issues that have arisen from today. The fact that | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
Saussure economics was not put in. The fact that it was financing and | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
trains. It is a case of who offers the best financing. It plays such | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
an important part. These are areas we believe should have been a look | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
that. The de-cobbling of finance away from the trains. We hope that | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
throughout today that is what will happen. That will not affect | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
Thameslink, were lit? It does not affect that decision. I cannot | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
comment on the process. I would like to thank all of her supporters. | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
:05:58. | :05:58. | ||
It was extremely encouraging for me to see the huge support. From Derby, | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
UK plc manufacturing as well. I would like to thank them. We have | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
ordered a review of public procurement process is. Going | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
forward we can look at a better way of doing this. Whether we're doing | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
things in the same way as our European neighbours. Whether there | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
are issues we can manage better. We would do that. That will not help | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
in relation to the Thameslink contract. In future you will take | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
these wider factors into account. The Government has blundered by | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
allowing this to go ahead. Government has not blundered. The | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Government continued the process initiated by the previous | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
Government. We used the evaluation criteria they issued. Bombardier | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
will say the Government is the Government is the Government. You | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
could have stopped this and changed things? I could not. Governments | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
may be powerful Bodde they are not omnipotent. We're restrained by | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
European law. We can only do what is legal. It would have been | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
unlawful to change the rules have we through the competition. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
The select committee meet again next week to discuss today's | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
evidence. Today's hearing has not changed anything as far as the | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
Government is concerned. Coming up, there could be legal action by the | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
United union backed by Derby City Council. -- Utd union. There will | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
be a UK review of the Bombardier operation. All triggered by the | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
loss of the Thameslink contract. Still to come, grappling with a | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
growing sport - it's a mix of old- fashioned wrestling, judo and Jiu | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
:08:00. | :08:05. | ||
Jitsu. Next, how the 9/11 attacks turned a | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Nottingham student into an "enemy of the state". Rizwaan Sabir was | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
researching al-Qaeda for a PhD study. But it got him arrested as a | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
terrorist suspect. In the final part of this week's series, he's | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
:08:30. | :08:35. | ||
been speaking to our Social Affairs I was actually in a 6th form. I | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
remember looking at the destruction and wondering who had done this. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
Why are innocent people being murdered at? I genuinely wanted to | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
understand. What better way than through my studies? That would give | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
me the perfect platform. That is why I started researching. This was | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
the result of Rizwann Sabir's research. A wave of protests after | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
:09:11. | :09:14. | ||
he and a friend were arrested at Nottingham University. I think Al- | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
Qaeda's tactics are morally reprehensible and Tokely on | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
productive. -- totally. It has ruined my life. I am the collateral | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
damage in this war. I am angry. I became enemy of the state. Why? It | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
is not because I downloaded a document. It tied into who I was, | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
the way I look and appear. I'm a thick somebody's stereotypical | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
image of a terrorist, a young Muslim man with brown skin and | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
appeared. I could have been sent to prison for doing what? My job as a | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
researcher. Rizwann and his friend were released for an emotional | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
reunion after police decided there was insufficient evidence to charge | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
them. That was not the end of it. 9/11 changed my life quite | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
drastically. I have been stopped on the street. I have been arrested as | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
a terrorist. I never have been a terrorist. I any response Nice to | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
be proportionate. We must make sure that we do not create anger among a | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
community that will help to quash this threat. Police investigating | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
the murder of a man in Derby have arrested 15 people. Serioza | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
Lawskowski, who was 29, was found with head injuries in April, and | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
died later in hospital. Five men previously questioned have been re- | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
arrested on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to commit grievous | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
bodily harm. Others are being questioned about assisting an | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
offender, drugs offences and obstructing the police. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
A Leicester charity whose minibus was destroyed in last month's | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
disturbances can apply for compensation. Age Concern was | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
originally told it could not claim compensation because it had | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
insurance. Now the charity has been told it can apply. The number of | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
students starting classes at the Gedling school near Nottingham has | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
fallen to fewer than 50. Only 48 pupils have started Year 7 - that's | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
a quarter of its capacity. The school was earmarked for closure | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
because of under performance. It's now being taken over by a | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
charitable trust, which wants to open it as an academy next | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
Staying with education, and a newly-opened school in Leicester is | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
promising to lead the way with its teaching methods. The Krishna- | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
Avanti Hindu school is the first free school to open in the East | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Midlands. The Government hopes it will be the first of many. Helen | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
:11:53. | :11:59. | ||
Welcome to the Krishna-Avanti Hindu school in Leicester. Morning begins | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
with meditation. The children do yoga every day. It is good for | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
discipline, help and the mind. Each class will have their own vegetable | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
garden allotted to them so the children can learn the important | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
relationship with the Earth. It is one of 24 free schools across the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
country. They are state funded but independent from the local | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
educational authority. Lester has not always had the best reputation | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
for education. -- Leicester. This school gives all children the | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
opportunity for a higher standards. It has a greater degree of freedom | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
and latitude to Taylor to the children's needs. It has a | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
distinctive Hindu ethos. At the moment, there are just 34 children. | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
In the next few years, staff hope to attract more so that ultimately | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
more than 400 pupils will come here. The we have had a good response for | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
next year. We have well over half on our books. And for subsequent | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
years. What do the pupils think? like my school. I am going to draw. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
I have done the biggest one ever. I had made lots of new friends. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
National Union of Teachers say free schools are divisive and | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
unaccountable. Staff here Corp the school will have a bright future. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
-- hope. With us is Ian Leaver from the National Union of Teachers, | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
:13:48. | :13:49. | ||
which opposes free schools. Why does the NUT oppose free schools? | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
We oppose them for a number of reasons. We believe it is taxpayers | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
money that is being used to fund private education. We also believe, | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
despite some of the things Nick Clegg and Michael Gove have been | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
saying, there is no reason to suppose they will not be run for | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
profit in the future. We also believe that we have an alternative | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
which is better, and that is the kind of approach that we believe | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
happens in the rest of the world. There is collaboration between | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
schools, schools sharing expertise, for the good of all the children in | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
Leicester. But if state education was a success we wouldn't even be | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
talking about free schools, would we? In Leicester and across the | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
country there have been improvements in GCSE results. We | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
would argue that that approach, with the support of a | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
democratically accountable local education authority, provides the | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
best approach. Isn't it worth letting them have a chance? OK, yes. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
It would be nice to have some evidence to suggest that it is | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
likely to work. We believe it is an expensive ideologically driven | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
experiment. Expensive at that time in Leicester when teachers and | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
hundreds of other Council workers A Nottinghamshire aid worker who | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
has just returned from Somalia, says the disaster there is the | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
worst he's ever experienced. The country is in the grip of its | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
harshest famine for 60 years, following a drought and years of | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
civil war. Now the Muslim Hands charity - which is based in | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
Nottingham - says it plans to do as much as it can to help. Its project | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
team spent two weeks last month in the capital Mogasdishu looking at | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
aid work there. It also took supplies to a large refugee camp at | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:04. | ||
Dadaab, to the west. Carolyn Moses reports. | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
In the centre of it overrun refugee camp on the Somalia border, 600,000 | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
starving people and more arriving by the day. He's nodding and | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
charity workers at 600 bags of food, QC welcome first some. But they | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
admit it is a drop in the ocean. have been to Haiti after the | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
earthquake. I have also work in Pakistan after the floods. What an | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
have experienced in Mogadishu was beyond my expectations. I saw what | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
the scale of the destruction was. It was massive. This old man, when | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
I asked him where he was coming from and how long it took, he | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
explained there were 20 families walking from one part of Somalia. | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
It took them to mums to get here. On the way there were six people | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
who died. There was no assistance. At the hospital in the capital, | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
worse was to come. Six kids waiting on one table for drips. There was a | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
:17:37. | :17:40. | ||
young lady who came running towards us, crying. We saw to little bodies. | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
-- two. The charity has already raised �1 million in recent weeks, | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
hoping to put more food in mouths and build anew aid camp. It warns | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
more is needed to make a lasting impact. And for more information on | :17:58. | :18:01. | |

:18:11. | :18:17. | ||
Still ahead, bright and breezy does it. Mostly breezy. Sally is braving | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
the elements. Yes, it is rather blustery at the National | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
Watersports Centre. The white water canoeists are out in force. A full | :18:31. | :18:41. | |
:18:41. | :18:47. | ||
forecast later. We like Our weather presenters wind-blown! Now the | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
sport. First, there's more speculation about Nottingham Forest | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
manager Steve McClaren. The national newspapers are reporting | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
today that he will quit after all if he doesn't get the emergency | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
loan players he requires. The loan widow opens tomorrow, and McClaren | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
is linked with a number of players from Ryan Bertrand to West Ham | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
defender Craig Dawson and Spurs winger Andros Townsend. McClaren | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
has looked a bit fraught on the touchline of late, but we | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
understand today's stories are without foundation and he's going | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
nowhere. He's due to speak to the media on Friday. | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Meanwhile, Derby manager Nigel Clough also has targets in the loan | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
window, but there won't be any players coming in before this | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
weekend's game with Coventry. Clough was speaking at the club's | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
training ground today. Derby have won four out five and had a great | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
start to the season. But after making 10 new singings, they need | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
to offload two or three players. Clough wouldn't name names, but it | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
looks like Stephen Bywater, Stephen Pearson and Dean Leacock are | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
:19:56. | :20:02. | ||
Yes, we envisage that some of them would have gone during the contract | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
window. That did not transpire. We will work on it in the long window. | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
Now, take the old Saturday afternoon wrestling on World of | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Sport, mix it with Judo and Jiu Jitsu, then add a crowd of 6,000 - | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
and you get something of a feel for what will be happening in | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
Nottingham later this month. It's the Submission Wrestling World | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Championships. They're backed by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. And | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
today the absolute champion was in Mansfield. Mark Shardlow reports. | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
It is martial arts to the point of Submission. He will ask you to stop | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
to not get injured. When Payne can be taken no more. If I know I | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
cannot get out, I will stop. This class is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
guys are fit. It is something different to going to the gym. | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
is hard to describe. It is really good. There is no heating, kicking, | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
no special kit. It is pure strength and skill. We are like a family. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Good team spirit. It is great to learnt something different, a new | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
skill. It is relatively new in the UK. It is the next big thing. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
of the best Denise Jiu-Jitsu, judo, wrestling and mixed martial arts | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
will travel to Nottingham at the end of the month for the Abu Dhabi | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
combat clubs' submission World wrestling Championships. This | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
tournament is equivalent to the Olympic Games. The best fighter | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
will come at on top. At the moment that is Braulio Estima, a Brazilian | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
living in Birmingham. He will top the bill in Nottingham. 6,000 | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
people screaming, playing at home against a top contender that is my | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
biggest rival. It will be like the World Cup final. It is the first | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
:22:20. | :22:22. | ||
time the tournament has been held If you want to see the best of the | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
action, not in a marina, end of the month. -- Nottingham arena. Onto | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
cricket - and the season's drawing to an end with the penultimate | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
round of championship matches. It's been slow progress for title- | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
chasing Warwickshire at Edgbaston, but Notts could only take three | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
wickets as the home side neared 300. A century for Wes Durston has put | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Derbyshire in a strong position in their game against Kent at the | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
County Ground. And Matthew Hoggard and Nathan Buck have been amongst | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
:22:59. | :23:02. | ||
the wickets as Leicestershire's Now, it's that time of year again. | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
Yes, Strictly Come Dancing will be back on our screens from this | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
weekend. It all means an exceptionally busy time for a | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Derby-based web designer - she runs one of the most popular Strictly | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
sites in the country. Katie Cory says this series has particular | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
interest for us, because three of the celebs have local connections, | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:39. | ||
The excitement is mounting again as this year's line-up is revealed. | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
Nobody is more excited than Katie Cory. She got hooked on Strictly | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
Come Dancing in 2004. There was nothing else out there. There were | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
no fan site. I want to collect all of the information. It ran from | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
there. Seven years on, she is busy updating last year's contestants | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
with this year's. There is all sorts of local interest. Edwina | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
Currie, still well known here. Nancy Kallio, the former partner of | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
Leicester manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. And former Derby captain | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
Robbie Savage. What do his former colleagues think? I could never | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
imagine him dancing, yet alone live on telly. He will approach it in | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
the competitive way that he does. He will a love the at fit. He will | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
thrive on it. How does the expert rate than? I would like to see | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
Robbie Savage de well. I worry that he might fall into the Anne | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
Widdecombe on the camp. Katy has had over 8 million hits on the | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
website since she started. I get so much traffic, especially on | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Saturday night and Sunday night. I have to make sure the site is | :25:11. | :25:21. | |
:25:21. | :25:24. | ||
Nancy from the East Midlands, who would have thought it?! Now the | :25:24. | :25:34. | |
:25:34. | :25:35. | ||
It is very windy here at the moment. We are at the National Watersports | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Centre. I am joined by the general manager. It has been closed for the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
last couple of days. Why? The wind has been so bad we have had to | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
close it. It affects the sailors and the row worse and the Qana | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
lists. The waves make it impossible for them to Pavel safely. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Presumably you hope it will be open for the weekend? Yes. We have a | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
regatta this weekend. It is all part of the Olympic preparations. | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
Fingers crossed. We have a little rain still around the East Midlands. | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
It is mainly Dowdie and Mauro. Most places turning dry. Gradually | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
through this evening the winds with ease. Good news for money. On the | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
satellite picture, through the day we have seen plenty of cloud across | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
the UK. We have seen some breaks in that out. They will be fewer and | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
further between. As we go through this evening, there is plenty of | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
cloud. We could see some showers over the Peak District. | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
Temperatures dipping to 12 Celsius. As we going to Thursday, it stays | :26:55. | :27:03. | |
rather cloudy. Cloudy through the day. Some showers still around. | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
Mainly dry. Temperatures getting up to 18 Celsius. That is probably | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
being optimistic. Less blustery tomorrow. If you look ahead for the | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
next few days, certainly Friday we start to see the winds pick up | :27:20. | :27:25. |
