Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. Our top story tonight: Forecourts | :00:08. | :00:18. | |
:00:18. | :00:18. | ||
close as petrol stations run dry. The threat of a tanker driver's | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
strike causes panic at the pumps. Because of the Government | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
frightening us all to death, I went and got some petrol. I didn't | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
actually need it, but thought I should. Jail for a man who claimed | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
he was sleepwalking when he raped a teenager. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Teachers in Nottingham strike over plans for a new five-term school | :00:37. | :00:42. | |

Good evening and welcome to Thursday's programme. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
First tonight - filling stations across the East Midlands ran dry | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
today as motorists rushed to fill up their cars. Forecourts were | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
forced to close while others saw lengthy queues after a day of panic | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
buying at the pumps. Drivers said they were heeding government advice | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
ahead of a possible strike by tanker drivers. Our reporter, Helen | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
Astle, has been at a petrol station in Leicester. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
There has been a steady queue at this garage for most of the day. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Yesterday it ran out of fuel but there have been more deliveries | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
overnight. Across the region there has been patchy panic buying. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
This was the scene across many garages in Leicestershire, and as | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
the day progressed, the queues got longer with everyone having their | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
own story to tell. Usually we come in celesta and we drive and park in | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Leicester, but we have come on the park-and-ride. Because of the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Government frightening us all to death, I went and got some petrol. | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
I didn't actually need it, but felt I should fill up. One gentleman | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
just after 7am, rather than filling up his car traditionally, he filled | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
a jerry can. One garage has run out of diesel and have sold five days' | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
worth of petrol in one day. It is tremendously busy. We have already | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
sold two days' supply. We are scared about the truck-driver | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
strike. That is why you are here today? On that is the major reason, | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
yes. This was Nottingham today, another garage and another queue. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
More drivers said they were running out of fuel, not panic drab -- | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
buying. I am on NT, I want to get home and I might make it to the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
petrol station. Are you out of diesel or are you think her for? | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
am on the way, the light is on. Absolute crazy. I need to get some | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
petrol. Have you run out? Yes. signs said it all as stations run | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
dry. It used backed up on to main roads as drivers sought supplies. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
In Derbyshire or there were similar queues as people wanted to make | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
sure their tanks were false. In some areas the price of fuel has | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
gone up. In other areas it like here, it is Russian, you can only | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
by �25 worth. -- rations. Garage owners are urging people not to | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
panic buy, they say it garages have run out, there will be more | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
deliveries. A man who claimed he might have | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
been sleepwalking when he raped a teenager has been jailed for six | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
years. Zack Thompson, from Newark assaulted the 17 year old at a | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
holiday resort in Portugal. Thompson admitted the crime after | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Nottinghamshire Police brought in a top sleep expert from the States. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
The force says his conviction is the first of its kind. Our Social | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
:04:14. | :04:16. | ||
Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, reports. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Zack Thompson and his victim was on holiday in Halbeath Europe. The | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
teenager woke up to find him in her bed and she reported the attack | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
when she got back to the UK. The court accepted the goal's version | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
of what happened, but he told the police he cannot recall it. He said | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
he might have been sleepwalking. But that was dismissed. I thought | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
he was just rung and couldn't remember coming back to the hotel. | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
He had an alcohol-related memory loss, or a blackout. It started | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
while he was clearly the wake. When a sleepwalker has a memory loss it | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
is only for the episode itself. Thomson admitted raping the girl | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
after a 2.5 year legal battle. Nottinghamshire Police said centres | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
the first time at Defence of sleepwalking has been successfully | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
challenged in British courts. hope we can carry on with these | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
cases and people cannot use sleepwalking as an excuse. We will | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
carry on until we get justice for the victims. The court heard | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Thomson had drunk at least seven pints of beer and his initial | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
reaction to the allegation is, I cannot remember, maybe. The judge | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
said his actions had a devastating effect on his teenage victim. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Still to come on the programme: A sunny forecast - but for just one | :05:45. | :05:55. | |
:05:55. | :05:55. | ||
more day. We only have one more day of this before temperatures start | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
to drop. But the question is, how low it will they go? I will answer | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
that shortly. Thousands of children in Nottingham | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
had a day off school today after members of one teaching union | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
walked out in a row over possible changes to the school year. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Nottingham City Council says a five-term year would improve | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
learning and increase attendance. They say today's action is | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
premature because talks are planned for after Easter. James Roberson | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
reports. There is only a strike in | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Nottingham because we have a council behaving in this way. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Members of the NUT at a rally in Nottingham city centre. Many | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
members walked out of dozens of Nottingham's schools over the | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
council's plans. It wants to replace the current system with | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
five, shorter terms and a shorter summer holiday. It will mean | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
radical changes to many families. This lady's two daughters but go to | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
school in Nottingham, but she teaches in Nottinghamshire. I would | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
have a child being on holiday when I was in work. I know a lot of | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
teachers who work in the county and have children in city primary | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
schools or vice-versa. Whichever way it works, its causes difficulty. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
The City Council says a shorter summer holiday will benefit many | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
children and parents. There is evidence that says the children are | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
have along summer break, and they live in a family who does not have | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
enough money to go on holiday, then there are learning goes backwards. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
But this teacher questions that. And there is no proof a five-term | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
year will make a positive difference to the attainment and | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
achievements of the children. council says the changes are not | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
yet fixed. In our view, the strike has been called to early, while | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
consultation is still ongoing. It will cause a lot of inconvenience | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
for parents who will be saddened by the fact the consultation on this | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
matter is still ongoing. The five- term year divides parents. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Definitely approve. He is a way for quite a lot of time of the year, | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
and some of the year he misses out on school holidays. I think it | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
should be left as it is. It is better for the children, better for | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
teachers. I don't mind, because I work freelance, I can cope but | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
either way. Not all teaching unions in Nottingham have been on strike, | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
but the NUT says it is planning another two strike days next month. | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
A soldier from Oakham who died in Afghanistan was repatriated today. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Captain Rupert Bowers, from the Second Battalion Mercian Regiment, | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
died last week when a bomb exploded as he was leading a patrol. The 24 | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
year old's body was flown into RAF Brize Norton this afternoon. He was | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
described by his commanding officer as "the bravest of the brave". | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
A 22 year old man arrested in connection with a fatal crash has | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
been released on bail. The incident happened in the early hours of | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Monday morning when a Renault Clio and a minibus collided on the A617 | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
near Mansfield. The driver of the bus died at the scene. A man was | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He's | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
:09:32. | :09:33. | ||
due back in court in May. An inquest's heard it took three | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
days to find the body of a woman killed in a house fire - because | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
her home and garden were so full of rubbish. Linda Parkes was an | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
obsessive hoarder who threw almost nothing away. Today the coroner | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
recorded a verdict of death by misadventure. From Derby, Simon | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
:09:57. | :09:58. | ||
Hare reports. The inquest heard how one woman's | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
obsessive, compulsive urge to hoard almost anything and everything | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
ultimately cost her her life. Firefighters were called to | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Wellington Street at long in the -- Long Eaton in Derbyshire in January | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
last year. It took several hours to put the fire out. It was three days | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
before police discovered the body of 59-year-old, Linda Parkes. It | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
was buried under several feet of debris inside the terraced house. | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
Station manager David Paul, describe what his staff had to | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
battle through. Most of the rooms or completely filled with articles | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
which made fire-fighting in the property very difficult indeed. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
This was piled several feet high? Some of the rooms were floor-to- | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
ceiling, wall-to-wall. He said the most likely cause of the fire was | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
piles of rubbish being set alight by gas rings on the hop which Linda | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Parkes, used to keep warm. Her partner, who was away in Spain at | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the time of the fire, said he was trying to help her with her | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
compulsive obsessive disorder for 30 years. But she had declined help | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
from medical professionals and social services. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
A union leader accused of stealing almost �150,000 from a miners' care | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
home has told a court he had no idea that the money had come from | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
the charity. Mick Stevens is jointly charged with the UDM's | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
former President, Neil Greatrex, of stealing the money to pay for home | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
:11:38. | :11:39. | ||
improvements. Here's our chief news reporter, Quentin Rayner. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Mick Stevens is currently a UDM general secretary. Along with the | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
former President, he is accused of stealing money from a minus charity | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
when he was a trustee. The charity ran a care home for sick and | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
elderly miners on the Lincolnshire coast. It is thought the union | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
leaders used the money for building work on their own properties. Nick | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Stevens told the jury under no circumstances would he approve of | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
any personal expenditure being paid for by the home. He was asked by | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
his defence counsel, how come you signed the Czechs? He said they | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
were put in front of me. If they had Neil's signature on them, I | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
would sign because he had authorised them. Mr Stevens said he | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
was not involved in the day-to-day running of the home or its finances | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
and had no recollection of seeing any invoices before signing cheques. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
One was for �36,000. The court was told Mr Stevens paid for | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
improvements at two homes, either encashed, including a payment of | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
�3,000, or legitimate the through another company of which she was a | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
director. He was challenged by the prosecution, did you approve their | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
kitchen and authorise its sq? Now I did not. Mr Stevens said he trusted | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Neil and believed everything he did was right. Both men denied the | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
charges and the trial continues. The salary of the elected Mayor of | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Leicester has been given final approval by the city council today. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Sir Peter Soulsby's wages will be �65,000, in line with that of a | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
backbench MP. His deputy, Rory Palmer, and his five Assistant | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
Mayors also get pay rises. A new study claims renovating | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
social housing in Nottingham has helped reduce crime and improve | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
people's health. Around 20,000 homes across Nottingham have been | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
refurbished. The work included the fitting of new windows and | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
installing central heating systems. A survey by Nottingham City Homes | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
and Nottingham Trent University found the number of burglaries in | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
these areas had gone down, along with people's fuel bills. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
A death trap. That's how residents have described a row of flats in | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
Derby. They've raised their concerns after their neighbours | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
became trapped inside their property when a fire broke out. | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
Angelina Socci reports. Repairing the damage caused by a | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
fire which left the two people inside terrified. It was in the | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
early hours of yesterday morning when crews were called to this flat | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
in Derby. Recycling bags left outside the front door have been | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
set alight and the staircase became engulfed in smoke and flames. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
were met by two occupants at the window who were able to put | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
themselves in a place of safety whilst we arrived. Shortly after we | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
were able to put the fire out, gain access to the property and we | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
assisted in the safe rescue of those casualties down the stairs. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
The couple, in the 60s, were taken to hospital after breathing in | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
smoke. But this has left nearby residents are worried by having | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
just one way in and out of the building. It is a death trap. That | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
is the way I feel. I have always said it, not just now. That is why | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
we have these doors put in. If you are in the bedroom and the fire | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
starts on the landing, you have to think of a way out. Some of us | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
might not be able to jump. We would reassure anybody who lives in a | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
similar property, there is no additional risk associated with | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
that. Think about it in advance, how they would deal with that | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
situation and how they would safely exit the property. Derby Holmes | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
says it takes its tenants health and safety seriously. Every | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
property has a fire safety risk assessment, internal fire doors and | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
a smoker alarm. Tonight, the couple are still recovering in hospital. | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Still to come on the programme: A wobbly welcome to the world. We're | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire as another new arrival struggles to | :15:59. | :16:09. | |
:16:09. | :16:12. | ||
find his feet. Next tonight, the woman who | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
underwent IVF four times in an effort to get pregnant. She did and | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
gave birth to twins. But both children have cystic fibrosis. | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
They're now two years old and they're taking part in a major new | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
study in Nottingham into treating the condition. Jo Healey reports. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
The Queen's Medical Centre, home from home for Alex and his sister, | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
Isabel. They have been here so often in their short lives. I am | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
keen to know if Alex has been coughing? They were born after | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
their mother underwent six years of IVF treatment. It was devastating | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
to find out they had cystic fibrosis. It affects us every day | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
and we have to make sure we have the medication they need to take, | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
they do the exercises and the physiotherapy to clear their lungs. | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
It is incredibly difficult. The new study is about making a difficult | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
life a little easier. The torpedo study looks at eradicating at | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
trouble infection in cystic fibrosis. We want to find the best | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
way to do that. It will discover if children can be treated at home on | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
special antibiotics, or, as now have to come in here for lengthy | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
intravenous sessions. This is the number of people with cystic | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
fibrosis in the UK. One in 25 people is a carrier, and every year | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
2,500 babies are born with cystic fibrosis. It is life threatening | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
and club's internal Ong -- organs, especially the lungs and digest it | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
system, with mucus. Families welcome anything that can help. | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
This trial is incredibly important. It is the difference between being | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
in hospital for couple of weeks of being at home. The trial will run | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
for three more years hoping to make lives easier. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Best of luck to everybody involved in the trial. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Now for the sport. Injury worries for Nottingham | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
Forest. They are battling to get Gareth McCleary fit for the trip to | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Crystal Palace on Saturday. He missed the midweek game at | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Leicester through injury. His inspirational form has helped to | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
turn around forest's recent fortunes, but at training this | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
morning, Steve Cottrell, was giving little away. We do not know what is | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
going to happen, so we have to wait and see. You are hoping he will be | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
OK? We will have to wait and see. He is a vital player for you? | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
when he is here. Leicester City manager, Nigel | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
Pearson remains adamant they are within a shout of making the play- | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
offs. They are four points of the all-important top six. The 4th, 5th | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
and 6th places are up for grabs for a number of clubs. It remains very | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
tight. Although the season has been stop and start, we still have a | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
chance. But we will have to finish the season strongly. As the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Olympics gets closer, another group of competitors are about to do | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
their bit in the battle for team selection and to stake a claim in | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
:19:43. | :19:52. | ||
I do admit, the first thing I thought when I woke up on New | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
Year's Day was, it is 2012, an Olympic year. Laurence Shannon, | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
British Rock brought up in America. When she was introduced to eventing, | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
there was no stopping her. There isn't it one day I had not loved it. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
Even when I have been at the lowest low, there wasn't one day I did not | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
want to be doing it. It is a good job, because the work that goes on | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
at the stables is hard. Rewarding, but hard. And necessary. No event | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
there is eventing as a sport without using it to make money as | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
well. We do a lot of buying and selling. I do a lot of teaching and | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
everyone here is an event rider, they have to have a business | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
:20:49. | :20:51. | ||
surrounding the losses or nobody would be able to fund it. 2010 was | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
the events, Lauren and there was announced their rivals. It is a big | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
splash to make. They have done it, and now realistically they are one | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
of five challenging for one remaining Olympic place. I have | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
been struggling with the laws that could possibly go to the Olympics | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
for a few years. -- de horse. If I just sit here and think about it, I | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
get a bit excited and gobsmacked, that a few years ago I would never | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
have dreamt of being in this position. For Laurent's Olympic | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
hopes, a Badminton next month is the one to watch. | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
Finally, he has been at it the 32 years, but Leicester City's Alan | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Birch shows no signs of quitting his fund-raising yet. He is hoping | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
to break his �1 million mark when he does his laps around the stadium. | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
Every year I say, it is the last one. But there is something always | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
around the corner. Leicestershire people have been fantastic. We will | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
keep our fingers crossed and get through the million-pound mark. I | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:17. | ||
don't want a weather like this. Although it seems like summer, it | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
is of course only spring. And Sally has been back to Derbyshire today, | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
because we cannot keep her awake from the little lambs. Earlier in | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
the week she was at Calke Abbey, now she is there again meeting some | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
newborns and a young vet who has just delivered her first Lambs. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
We are back at Calke Abbey, and although it feels like a gorgeous | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
summer's day, it is spring. These girls here are ready for lambing | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :22:58. | ||
any day now. These were born in the night. We will move them down to | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
the individual pens, but there is one there she is not happy with. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
She perhaps mother that one of another one in the night and then | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
had her own. I came along and found her with two Lambs. What will you | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
do with it? I will stand us with it and making sure it gets a drink. It | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
is really hungry. Stand where I am. She just hasn't been able to turn | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
round and from pen, so he can have his drink of milk. The bonding | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
opportunity has gone, do you think? I think so, he might end up with | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
the waves and strays. We have a big electric bucket of warm milk that | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
:23:55. | :23:57. | ||
keeps them going. -- waifs and strays. Congratulations are in | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
order? Your first lambs delivered last night? 4pm in the afternoon, | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
but completely solo. That is the bit I must congratulate Tory about. | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
This is Damon. A very big boy. And there was no room in there at all. | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
I struggled to fit my hand in to pull him out. I clear his air waves | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
of them brought in to his mum. This is Bella and she came out pretty | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
much after. It was unbelievable pulling it out. What I was worried | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
about his 2.5 hours, they might have been a problem. I was | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
literally overwhelmed. After hearing about the lambs being born, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
we finally caught the moment on camera, which you will see for | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
yourself tomorrow night. Teasing us. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
More animals because the parents in Falcon has had been pretty busy. | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
The first exit of the spring has been laid six days earlier than | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
last year. People around the world had been following their progress. | :25:17. | :25:27. | |

Internet hits have passed the 2 million mark. -- Peregrine Balkans. | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
Tomorrow is looking to be dry, settled with warm temperatures. | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
Overnight, dry and a bit on the chilly side, much like it has been | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
:25:51. | :25:58. | ||
all week. You have been sending High pressure is just a bad | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
clinging on, keeping us dry and settled. We have had barely a cloud | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
in this guide. Across much of the UK, clear skies and that is how we | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
are at the moment. It will be a lovely evening before it gets dark. | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
Overnight, a little bit of cloud pushing into the worst, but for | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
most Clear skies and temperatures down to four Celsius. It could be a | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
couple of degrees lower than that in rural spots. They missed it will | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
quickly clear and any cloud in the worst first thing tomorrow burns | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
away and we are in for a lovely day on Friday. High temperatures | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
tomorrow of 19 Celsius. All change Friday night. This colt funds comes | :26:46. | :26:51. | |

colder air from the Arctic. A- changing temperatures as we go into | :26:55. | :27:04. | |
Saturday. -- a change in temperatures. Looking at some night, | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
cloud around but also some sunny spells. Sunday is what you would | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
normally expect at this time of year. Let's look at the outlook. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
Another warm day tomorrow, and gradually temperatures start to | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
