Tonight, the £50 billion question. Another wobble for HS2 as MPs cast | :00:09. | :00:23. | |
doubt on its cost and benefit. Fields of furniture — who is | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
spreading sofas across Derbyshire? It is a disgrace, isn't it? | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
Could the Battle of Bosworth help Leicester win a new culture war. | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
Speeding round written in exactly nine days, nine hours and nine | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
minutes. Good evening, welcome to the programme. First tonight — more | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
questions about whether the £50 billion cost of HS2 is value for | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
money. A senior figure at the Nottingham | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Business School says the government has yet to prove that the cash would | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
not be better spent on improving existing rail links within the East | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Midlands. It comes as a group of MPs cast doubt on the benefits of the | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
high—speed link. Mike O'Sullivan is in Toton and can tell us more. What | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
is the feeling on the rising costs of HS2? Well, some are concerns it | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
is like a run rate train, getting out of control. This is the proposed | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
site for the station in the East Midlands between Derby and | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Nottingham. Part of the £50 billion project, including rolling stock. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Today the Public Accounts Committee of MPs criticised transport | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
officials for out of date assumptions to do with costs and | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
benefits, one of them failing to realise that business travellers | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
don't lose working time on trains because they can work at their seat | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
on laptops and other mobile devices. This was the view and Nottingham | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
railway station today. I managed to contact clinics to see | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
if there is a availability so I have used it to the best of my advantage. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
I like to relax and read a book. I would not say it is time lost. Noise | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
as well, and confidentiality. It puts you off. People talking on | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
phones. There are fundamental concerns in the region. Sue — senior | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
figure at Nottingham Business School says the government has not shown | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
that spending money on HS2 is not better than spending it on the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
transport network around our cities. We need to see governments | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
demonstrating more convincingly that investment in HS2 will deliver more | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
of those investments than other potential investments in | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
infrastructure, things like the Tram in Nottingham. Is that the kind of | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
thing that actually will deliver greater net and if it? Some in | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Leicester and Leicestershire question just what they are getting | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
out of HS2 but the West Derbyshire MP and transport secretary has | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
defended it. I am looking to provide a rail system fit for the long—term | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
future of this country. This is not a quick fix, it is planning for the | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
long—term future of the UK. Bringing our main cities together, | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, it is essential. More | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
reaction today from the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Commerce. It wants better transport links but says there should not be | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
an open cheque—book. We are not quite ready for the emergency stop | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
but perhaps it is time to start applying the break. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
A 16—year—old girl is being questioned by police after the death | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
of a newborn baby in Lincolnshire. The boy was found at a house at | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Baston near Stamford last week. Police say the cause of death was an | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
obstructed airway. Simon Ward reports. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
It was here in the quiet Lincolnshire village of Aston that | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
police were alerted to the death of a baby. —— Baston. A 16—year—old | :04:36. | :04:48. | |
girl was arrested and questioned by detectives. A post—mortem revealed | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
the boy died from an obstruction in his airway. Despite the arrest, | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
officers still want more information. We are not looking for | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
anybody else. We want more information about what happened so I | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
would appeal for people to contact the police and tell us, but we are | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
treating this as Marie March and isolated, localised issue. The | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
individual arrested I am pretty sure we'll have all of the answers. I | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
want to assure people that we are doing the right things as quick as | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
we can. The teenager will continue to be questioned about the death. No | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
charges have been brought. There has been another death at | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Leicester's Bradgate Mental Health Unit. The trust which runs the unit | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
has confirmed that an incident on 22 August resulted in the patient's | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
death. An independent investigation will be held into the death, which | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
follows inquests into the deaths of seven patients between November 2010 | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
and June 2012. A further three deaths are being investigated by the | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
coroner. A two—day investigation at the mental health unit in July found | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
poor standards of care. Nottinghamshire Police have been | :06:13. | :06:27. | |
following up a number of calls they took over the weekend after a new | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
appeal for information about a 50—year—old unsolved murder. Pub | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
landlord George Wilson was brutally stabbed in Nottingham in what became | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
known as the Pretty Windows murder, so—called because of the ornate | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
design of the pub's windows. Yesterday marked the 50th | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
anniversary. Officers are now following up the new information | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
they have received in the last few days. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Derby's accident and emergency department is more understaffed than | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
the national average, according to a BBC survey. Derby Hospitals NHS | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Foundation Trust has a staff shortfall of 12%. The average across | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
trusts in England is 10%. Meanwhile, a report has found that poor | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
staffing levels at the Royal Derby Hospital contributed to a baby's | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
death. Amy and Michael Wray's daughter Georgina was stillborn at | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
the hospital in March last year. Coming up this evening, King Richard | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
of York gave battle in vain. But could the last Plantagenet King | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
helped the city of Leicester secure a 21st—century victory? | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
A massive clean—up operation has been going on today after piles of | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
old furniture were dumped in three different places in Derbyshire. | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
Armchairs and sofas were discovered across the Erewash area. One pile | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
was so big it actually blocked a country lane. But council officials | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
believe they may have a lead on the people responsible. Here's Sarah | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Teale. Dumped in a lane leading to a | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
fishing lake, a mound of old armchairs. For the owners of the | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
lane and the lake it means a headache to get them cleared. It is | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
a disgrace, isn't it? That must be a furniture company of some sort. It | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
is a disgrace. The chairs have been left close to this isolated church, | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
next to this lake popular with local walkers and picnics. One worker | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
comes to check out the pile and calls out a warden and his team | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
leader, who come to look at the chairs over more carefully and | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
photograph them to see if there is any more evidence where they came | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
from before they were removed. Around here there are not many lines | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
of enquiry. There are some houses nearby so officers will be checking | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
if they have seen anything. This is not the only place where fly tip us | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
have been this weekend. They have removed other chairs and sofas from | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
near this play area, while an even bigger load has been found at a | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
cul—de—sac in Stanton gate. It seems clear that the sites at church | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
Willem and here are linked. Travelling between the two sites I | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
have had a telephone call to say there is some information for us to | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
investigate. It may not be linked but it is something we will be | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
looking at today and I want to reassure residents that the council | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
are proactive in stopping this behaviour. Today work men have been | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
clearing the scar —— the sites to bring them back to their normal | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
condition. Anyone with any information about who might have | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
been responsible should contact Erewash Borough Council. | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
Since we ran this story earlier today you have been getting in touch | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
and showing us some fly tipping near you. | :09:53. | :10:05. | |
Colin told us about this 3—piece suite dumped to the south of East | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
Stoke. He says it is not the first time it has happened. Another load | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
has recently been cleared by the council. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
If you have any examples of fly tipping near you, we would love to | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
hear from you. The mother of a teenager who was | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
beaten to death because of her appearance is encouraging other | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
victims of hate crime to get help. The University of Leicester is | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
currently carrying out the UK's largest ever hate crime survey. It | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
is trying to find out just how widespread it is and who is | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
affected. Sarah Sturdey reports. Sophie Lancaster was beaten to death | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
because of the way she looked. Her mother now campaigns for a better | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
read —— understanding of alternative subcultures at events like the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
download Festival at Donington Park. All the time people tell us, we have | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
been bullied and attacked. Get on the phone or down to your local | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
police station and tell people. The offences are based on prejudice. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Victims can be targeted because of their sexuality, disability, race or | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
religion. Researchers at the University of Leicester want to find | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
out how widespread it is. We are concerned that many people are | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
affected but we don't know about it. If you look at the official figures | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
we know that the number of hate crimes are around 45,000 quite | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
consistently, but some surveys have it more than five times that. It is | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
the dark figure of hate crime we don't know much about. The results | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
will be published in the autumn next year but researchers believe they | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
will discover some tensions between emerging and established | :12:06. | :12:06. | |
communities. And you can see Sarah Sturdey | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
speaking to victims of hate crime here on BBC One in the new series of | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
Inside Out East Midlands. The team will also be looking at | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
making decisions about care in old age and the boom in erotic | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
literature for women. That is at 7:30pm tonight. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
It is described as a way of putting Leicester on the map. Now | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
Leicestershire County Council is considering giving £2 million to | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Leicester's City of Culture bid. The council leader says winning the | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
title would benefit the County of Leicestershire culturally and | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
economically. Our arts reporter Geeta Pendse has the details. | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
Yes, it is three weeks to go before Leicester 's final bid to become the | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
next City of Culture is submitted. The bid team need to prove they can | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
raise £10 million to host a year of cultural events in 2017. Now the | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
county council could throw its hat in and pledged £2 million from their | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
reserves. It comes days after the council announced it has to make | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
£110 million in savings over five years. The council leader believes | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
the bid is stronger with the county's backing and is a worthwhile | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
investment. In economic development terms, each pound invested will ring | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
in between £6 and £9 of additional money. If I put in a couple of | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
million, the city put—in 10 million, we could have up 110 million coming | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
into the city. It is economic development as well as culture. The | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
council hope the Bosworth Battlefield and the links to Richard | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
III will be a key part of cultural programming, as will investment in | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
vents in towns like loft, recently part of the Mary Portas Project, and | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
attempt to revive the high Street. More trade in any respect but when | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
you have events on people generally are not shopping so forecasts, they | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
don't come with shopping bags, so we make less money probably. I think it | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
is Berry worthwhile, great for the community, great for young people. | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
—— very worthwhile. There are other things that could be invested in, | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
employment, as Mrs. —— businesses. Everybody needs some culture in | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
their lives so it is a positive thing to do for people. | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
This Friday the council's ruling cabinet will decide whether to | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
underwrite the £2 million. It is a decision that could carry | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
significant weight for those hoping to secure the title. | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
Thank you very much. Work began today to create | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Nottinghamshire's first Olympic—sized swimming pool. The | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
£13.5 million redevelopment of the Harvey Hadden sports complex is part | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
of a huge project to improve the county's leisure centres. The | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
50—metre pool will be the centrepiece of new facilities at the | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
centre in Bilborough, which include a gym, health suite and fitness | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
studios. It will open in spring 2015. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
More than 15,000 people visited the famous Mallard steam engine at | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
Grantham Station this weekend. And it was at Stoke Bank near Grantham | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
where the locomotive broke the world speed record for a steam engine in | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
1938. A pop—up railway shop has also been set up in the town for the rest | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
of the month, showcasing Grantham Station's history. | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Lots of people in Grantham going to see that. It is fantastic. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Next tonight, a charity is warning that the East Midlands needs an | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
extra 500 foster carers. Action for Children believes the shortage is | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
caused by the myths surrounding who is eligible to foster. With the | :16:16. | :16:16. | |
number of carers declining and the increase in numbers of children | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
needing to be fostered, the charity believes the situation can only | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
worse. So what are the misconceptions about | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
fostering? Many people living in the East Midlands believe incorrectly | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
that you can't foster if you... Well, earlier I spoke to Darren | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
Johnson, who is the operational director at Action for Children, and | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
asked him why he thought the number of foster carers was declining. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
We increasingly find there are more children coming into the care system | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
and obviously they need to be supported within fostering. We have | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
a shortage of 500 foster carers in the East Midlands. It is really | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
important we put the message out about what the criteria are in order | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
to come forward and apply to be foster carers. Part of the barrier | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
is the myths and that is preventing us recruiting. So who can become a | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
foster carer? If you are over 55, if you have rented accommodation, if | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
you are unemployed or in part time work or from the LG BT community you | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
can come forward. These are the myths around, that those people that | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
fall into those categories can't come forward, but they can. You have | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
a lot of children that need foster parents. How can you get through to | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
people that they could be eligible? People need to come to the Action | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
for Children website, find out more about us and how we support foster | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
carers in becoming approved carers, and also go to our open days and | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
information sessions and meet some of our experienced foster carers, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
because it is really worthwhile listening to their experiences. We | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
have foster carers who have been doing it for over 20 years and they | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
have had a transformational effect on those children's lives. What | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
happens if you don't get the foster carers you need? You have a group of | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
children whose lives will be unfulfilled. It is really important | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
to give them the opportunity to put them in a foster home that will | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
transform their lives. We'll start tonight with cricket, | :18:43. | :18:52. | |
and the semifinals of one of the top competitions which is taking place | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
right now. It is 24 years since Notts got to a one—day final at | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
Lord's. They are taking on Somerset at Trent Bridge in the YB40 cup. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Mark Shardlow is there. Yes, they are a giant step closer to | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
Lourdes. The halfway stage and they are 119 all out, Somerset that is. | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
This is the story of a dramatic afternoon. It started with rain | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
showers which delayed play until 5pm. It was reduced to 35 overs per | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
side. In the first over —— over, Marcus Tress topic out. —— Marcus | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
Tress Gothic. Soon the second wicket and then a brilliant catch for | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
Hussey to get the third. Jake Ball all in for wicket nub of four. In | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
the last half an hour a dramatic tumble, four Crick which —— quick | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
wickets. Notts are well on course to reach their first final for nearly a | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
quarter century. Now, onto the weekend action, | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
starting with rugby. Leicester Tigers' Dan Cole will face no action | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
for allegedly biting Worcester's Ignacio Mieres in the game at | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
Welford Road yesterday. The citing officer believes it was accidental. | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
As for the Tigers team, well, they left it very late but eventually got | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
maximum points. Kirsty Edwards reports. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Tigers will certainly faced tougher tests than this as they defend their | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
premiership title to the side got the job done, albeit with a scrappy | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
first game. The host comfortably dominated the first move with a good | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
move finished off by Thomson for their first try. After the break, | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
Tigers looked to be out of sight, when a driving maul saw Jordan Crane | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
going over under a pilot bodies. There was a fightback, reducing the | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
gap to just ten points after two tries. Tigers never looked in danger | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
of losing the game but it took some fantastic footwork to get an | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
all—important fourth try. This was with just six seconds to go. | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
In football, another waypoint for Mansfield Town in a lively game at | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
Newport County. Two goals and two sendings off for the Stags' visit to | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
industrial South Wales. The goals were a case of spot the | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
difference. This was Newport in the first half, Chris Zebroski finishing | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
it off. This was Mansfield's reply in the second half. The sendings off | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
were rather different. This was a straight red for raising the arms. | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
Max Reid got a second yellow for this late challenge. Overall | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
Mansfield had the best of what was a 100 mph fixture. At one point | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
something this tricky will do the Stags very nicely. | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
We're going to finish with squash, which has just had the crushing | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
disappointment of missing out on becoming an Olympic sport. The East | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
Midlands has one of Britain's top squash teams playing out of Duffield | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
in Derbyshire and their top player is world number two Nick Matthew. | :22:29. | :22:39. | |
He'd been heavily involved in the campaign to win Squash Olympic | :22:39. | :22:39. | |
status, and earlier I asked him how he was feeling now. | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
Heartbreaking, I think, was the word used by the president of the world | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Squash Federation, squash being a truly global game now, champions | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
from all five continents. The hurt will be found all around the world | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
after this decision. You put so much energy and time into this sport. Can | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
you redirect that energy and build squash up again? It is | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
disappointing, the promise was there to have a new sport. Wrestling was | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
removed and then reinstated. But we have moved forward, television is | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
one of the aspects we hope to benefit from. We have the | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
Commonwealth Games next year and hopefully we can show how much we | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
have come forward as a sport. Thank you very much for joining us. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
We will fun it —— followed them all the way through the championships. | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
Now, if YOU were planning to circumnavigate Britain over the next | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
nine days, I bet you'd be hoping for good weather. | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
After months of training in the East Midlands they set off from Poole in | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Dorset today. It may look like the sea but in fact | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
these are the calm conditions in Derbyshire in July. The 999 | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
challenge team from water safe UK had to use the reservoir to rehearse | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
for their 2000 mile charity trip around Britain. It costs a lot of | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
money every year to keep the water safe. We decided on this challenge | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
and we wanted to do it with a partner charity. The team's normal | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
territory is rescuing people from inland waters. Yesterday it was time | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
to leave Derby and head off for the south coast. 6:30am this morning in | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
Poole Harbour outside the RNLI HQ and lifeboat station. The aim of the | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
voyage is to raise £20,000 not only for water safe UK but also the RNLI. | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
There are a lot of tides, a lot of weather around the coast, | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
particularly now in September. It will be difficult for them, lumpy, | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
and I think they will come back with a tremendous sense of achievement. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
The trip is the idea of violent —— volunteered Nigel. A lot of the | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
volunteers are members of the emergency services so he came up | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
with the 999 challenge, completing the trip in nine days, nine hours | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
and nine minutes. We are searchable rescue team so we are are used to | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
using boats. We have a good chance of completing it. We will have | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
varying conditions but we are confident. 7am, the team sets off. | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
They will stop the next eight nights at different lifeboat stations. All | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
well, they will be back home on September the 17th. | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
Not that I know any thing but I have a feeling they will be —— they would | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
have been better off doing that last week. | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
Yes, last Wednesday we reached the dizzy heights of 27 degrees. | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
We weren't far off a frost this morning, some people with | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
temperatures around four Celsius. We have a rash of showers, some of them | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
quite lively. They will continue over the next couple of hours. | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
Slowly they will fade away through the early hours of the morning so | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
they will dry up again tonight. We will have a lot of cloud and the | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
breeze picking up, so not quite as cold. Lows of seven or eight. | :26:54. | :27:02. | |
Tomorrow we are watching and it —— a developing area of low pressure in | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
the North Sea. This may bring some rain across eastern parts. We will | :27:03. | :27:14. | |
start off dry, quite a lot of cloud but we could see some of that rain | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
edging into eastern parts as we go into the afternoon. The best chance | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
to stay dry will be western parts of Derbyshire and East Staffordshire. | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
We have a brisk north—westerly wind developing, highs of just 15 or 16. | :27:24. | :27:34. | |
Wednesday, we get rid of the low pressure, but we have another one | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
coming in from the Atlantic. It starts off dry and bright but we | :27:35. | :27:44. | |
will see some rain later on. A bit drier towards the end of the week. | :27:44. | :27:44. |
