very much. That's all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
How Derby artist Paul Cummins caught the mood of a nation. | :00:11. | :00:23. | |
It is not a fun thing that H produce, it is something th`t has a | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
meaning behind it, and it h`s a big meaning for a lot of people. Also | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
tonight, helping the victims of Gaza. And ten years on, the legacy | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
of dance. And uncovering thd secrets of a lost manor house. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
First tonight, a quarter of a million ceramic poppies have | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
been sold in just one week `s part of a World War One commemor`tion. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
Almost 900,000 poppies are being planted at the Tower of London, each | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
Today, the Derbyshire artist behind the project said he'd been | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
overwhelmed by the response, as Geeta Pendse reports. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
A work of art, a memorial, but also a fundraising effort. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Pouring out of the Tower of London, last week, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
the first instalment of cer`mic poppies were officially revdaled to | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
They are hoped to raise millions of pounds for charity, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
but no one predicted just how quickly the poppies would sdll. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
At his studio in Derby, the artist Paul Cummins has been | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
amazed at how the public have embraced the project, with 250, 00 | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
It is quite a shock that so many people have got behhnd it. | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
It is not a fun thing that H produce, it is something th`t has | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
a meaning behind it, and it has a really big meaning for lots of | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
people, and I'm really happx that people are actually wanting them. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Each poppy is sold for ?25 with the net proceeds split | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
?2.50 from everybody goes to charhty, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
so if we sell all of them, that is ?2.5 million, of course if we sell | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
all of them as well, all thd net proceeds will also go to ch`rity. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Now, we're being little bit coy about that, because we're still | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
making them, we are still btilding them at the moment, but that could | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
be many millions of pounds by the time that we're finished | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
With orders coming in from `ll of the world, | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
with people of all nationalhties buying the poppies, Paul saxs it is | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Anybody comes along and does it they build their own little part | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
There was people from Vietnam came over to do it | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
and they were really, reallx passionate how it went in and people | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
The team in Derby continue to produce poppies around the clock. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
The last poppy will be planted on Remembrance Day. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Why do you think this has so captured the nation's imagination? | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
Apart from the initial visu`l impact, which is incredible, I think | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
it is because it is a work hn progress, that anyone can bd a part | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
of, whether it is planting ` poppy, or just witnessing this work of art | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
grew and grew every week and month leading up to November. I think the | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
most significant part is thd fact that each poppy represents one | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
fallen soldier, and so as it grows, essentially you understand the | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
significance of the First World War, and the death toll. It is | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
wonderful that you can buy them and everyone can be a part of it. Thank | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
you. On to a different kind of conflict, | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
now. Hospitals | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
in the East Midlands are collecting thousands of items of medic`l kit to | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
send to war`torn Gaza. They're appealing for equiplent | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
the NHS says it no longer ndeds The first consignment was sdnt out | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
today from hospitals in Derby Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
reports. They say it is kicked the NHS no | :04:10. | :04:29. | |
longer wants, but Gaza needs. We have seen it on the televishon with | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
the children with their Intdrnet eyes. At Kingsmill, they have | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
collected hundreds of items in just a couple of days. We are told it is | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
things that the NHS would h`ve thrown away. We have looked hard | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
into what we had. I think that the controls are very tight now. We are | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
very diligent at what we acpuire and how we use it, so it is onlx the | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
things that are past their date and was perhaps opened up or not used, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
or even samples that we werd given by various couples `` companies | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
They hope this will save lives. I am very proud. We pride ourselves in | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
our courses care of opening things, and so I was really thinking, we | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
would not have that much, btt when I searched around, we have got many | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
expired things and things that we have been given by companies. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
Nightly television images of the devastation in Gaza prompted a | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
surgeon in Derby to do something. He set about getting Derby hospitals to | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
gather unwanted equipment and encouraged other hospitals to get | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
involved. A few people have raised the political question and `sking | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
whether we should be getting involved. From my point of view | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
working with a wide range of charities, this is not about | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
politics at all, it is purely as as medical caring professionals with | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
the duty of care, trying to alleviate the suffering of fellow | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
human beings. Here, 35,000 htems collected in Derby are off on the | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
first leg of the journey to Gaza. It is hoped international charhties | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
will get the eight through. For the children, some toys. | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
The parents of a Derbyshire student who was stabbed to death last week | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
in Borneo say they "cannot believe what has happened". | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
22`year`old Neil Dalton frol Ambergate was a medical student | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
His parents Jan and Phil sahd in a statement, "Neil was a caring, | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
thoughtful and witty young lan, who never thought twice | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
He achieved so much and madd so many friends. | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
Four men have been arrested for murder. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Police in Borneo say they've admitted the crime. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Police say they're growing increasingly concerned for the | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
welfare of a 13`year`old girl who is missing from her home in Nottingham. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Elisha May Swinscoe was last seen at around 3.30pm yesterday | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
afternoon and is thought to have been heading into the city centre. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Officers say her family are very worried and want Elisha herself | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
or anyone with information to get in touch. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Health bosses in Nottinghamshire are consulting over plans to close four | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
mental health hospital wards and a residential unit. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Two wards could close at thd Queen's Medical Centre and two at the City | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Hospital along with the Enrhght Close rehabilitation unit in Newark. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Nottinghamshire Healthcare says better community services | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
A six week public consultation begins today. | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
Still to come ` a lost medidval manor house gives up its secrets. | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
Archaeologists working in Leicestershire find artefacts | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
from a house that vanished from maps in the 18th Century. | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
Some estimates put the shortfall in the East Midlands at mord than | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
But they're not making any new land ` so more | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
and more councils are looking at greenbelt and that's controversial. | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Fairham Pastures is Rushcliffe Borough Council's development | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Up to 3000 new homes will be built there. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
In Leicestershire, Blaby District Council is overseeing the bhggest | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
single development in the county ` 4000 homes at Lubbesthorpe. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
Amber Valley Borough Council has started asking local people | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
for their views on plans to build 2,500 new homes, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
400 of which will be at Quarndon from where Jo Healey reports. | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
To people in Kedleston, it is a beautiful | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
heritage site. To Amber Valley planners, it is a possible plot for | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
400 homes. Today, they started to consult. I don't think it is | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
suitable. These schools are all over subscribed and traffic is | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
horrendous. Most residents `round this area knew nothing about this | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
proposed project. We think the infrastructure is not going to take | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
these houses. This is Amber Valley, shown here at the consultathon. | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
Now, the green patches show land that is already in the pipeline | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
that could be built on, places like Ripley and cinder hill. If they were | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
built on, that would amount to 850 new homes. What today is all about | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
are the blue patches. You c`n see those places like Summer Coves, and | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Kedleston. If they were built on, that would amount to 2700 more | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
homes. So the total if all of this was built on, would be 7630 new | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
houses in Amber Valley. The council are proposing to build 1600 houses | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
in Codner, within one mile of the village centre, and all of that is | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
going to be on green belt l`nd. I mean, it would be a disaster for our | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
area, because it would urbanise the whole area. This would go from being | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
a one`road village to the cdntre of the city, but without the | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
infrastructure. Can you prolise people and give them a full | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
assurance that you will listen to their concerns, because thex have | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
many? I can, and what will happen is that when this consultation | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
exercise is over we will be doing a report to the council. That will set | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
out all of the concerns that have been raised. | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
Before we finalise any decisions, we will make sure we take everxbody | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
into account. The consultathon will run for four weeks. | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
A charity set up in memory of a murdered schoolgirl has helped | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
thousands of young people to sing and dance. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
It's almost ten years since Danielle Beccan was shot dead as she walked | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Danielle was a keen performdr, and now hundreds of thousands | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
of pounds in grants are helping young people to follow her dreams. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |

Meet the choir that performs using pedal power. | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
A bicycle`powered PA system that was funded by the | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
It has allowed these singers with learning disabilities to perform | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
They want people to see that they are good at things so, by m`king us | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
a little bit more independent and being able to provide | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
our own equipment, we can more or less set up when and where we want. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
We couldn't actually hear otrselves singing and now I have actu`lly | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
found I have got a singing voice and I don't sound like a strangled cat | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
When I first came here and found out they sung different pop songs and it | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
It is a fitting tribute to a teenager who loved singing | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Danielle Becan's future was tragically cut short | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Danielle was killed by a bullet that was fired from a car and ricocheted | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
from the pavement as she walked through St Anne's with friends | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Ten years on, Danielle Becan has left | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Her memorial fund has raised ?150,000, | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
money that has been doubled through match funding grants, | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
The family recognise that the sort of projects that D`nielle | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
loves are the sort of things that the fund has been able to ghve money | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
to and that there are many projects out there which might not h`ve been | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
going had the Danielle Becan Memorial Fund not | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
Two of the grants went to the Spritzer Dance Company for shows | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
They are one of several troops who are rdhearsing | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
I really enjoy it because it helps me express myself | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
There are loads of different types of dancing and I | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
Just a way to let go, express all your feelings. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |

Two men who killed an Iraqi refugee have been found guilty of mtrder. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Patryk Srutkowski and Pawel Bugajski carried out the attack | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
in the Meadows area of Notthngham in January. | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
They used a belt to strangld 56`year`old Hama Faraj Noorh. | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
They're due to be sentenced tomorrow. | :14:11. | :14:11. | |
The family of a former Notts County and England footballer who died | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
from a brain condition causdd by repeatedly heading a ball, say | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
The Justice for Jeff camp`ign has been calling for more research to be | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
carried out into the condithon that killed Jeff Astle twelve ye`rs ago. | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
Now, following a private conversation with the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Chairman of the Football Association , Greg Dyke, the family say more | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Nearly 200,000 children in the East Midlands are living in families | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
struggling with "problem debt" according to research out today | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
The figures come from the Children's Society | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
They reveal almost a hundred thousand families in the region are | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
failing to keep up with household bills and loan repayments. | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
The charities say debt puts stress on family relationshhps. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
It also causes children to suffer from worry and even bullying. | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
Next tonight, archaeologists working on a "lost" medieval manor`house | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
in Leicestershire have discovered buildings and artefacts at the site. | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
The 12th century house in the village of Croxton Kdrrial | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
had disappeared from maps by the 19th century, but now | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
after two years of excavation, the ground is yielding new finds. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
This field in Leicestershird has been hiding a secret for more than | :15:30. | :15:48. | |
800 years. Basically, the M`nor house itself was here. Beyond that, | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
we had a massive barn, which was 26 metres long. We also had a xard | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
here, again dating from arotnd the 12th century. We have got evidence | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
of that and some wonderful pottery from that as well. A group of | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
amateur archaeologists have been digging here since 2012 and have | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
made some remarkable finds. This has come out of a well, four metres | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
down. It is the job, and it has been down there for about 800 ye`rs at | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the bottom of the well, and when we dug it out we were the first people | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
to see it for 800 years. We think it was lower down on a rope, and when | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
it filled with water it broke with the weight of the water. Thd site | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
would have been a massive complex between the 12th and the 14th | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
centuries, with all the bendfits of medieval modern conveniences. The | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Lord would have had his private toilet here. Every now and `gain, | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
some peasant would have had to come here and take it all out and spread | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
it on the field and use it `s fertiliser. The fines are a Time | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
Capsule of life between the 12th and 14th centuries. As the Digg moves | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
into its final phase, it is hoped more of its secrets will be | :17:08. | :17:08. | |
revealed. Leicester City are just fivd days | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
away from their first match back Their promotion is estimated to | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
be worth more than a hundred What lessons can Leicester learn | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
about how to exploit the Foxes As Leicester City celebrated | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
promotion, the city of Leicdster It brings visitors to our chty, | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
it brings profile to our city, it brings investment to our city | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
and it brings jobs to our chty, and all of those are very important as | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
well as what happens on the field. But can a football club's promotion | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
really benefit an entire city? Twelve month ago, Hull was hn | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Leicester's shoes, a city not only preparing to welcome some of the | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
world's best footballers, btt also Last season, I would say thdre was | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
double the amount of people and I would get the attitude, likd, | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
we are going to come back, we are coming back for the weekend, not | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
only for the football, they would It was also a chance to | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
attract first`time visitors. The reception you often get is, | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
it is not what we expected. There is certainly something for | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
Leicester there, because Lehcester is not on the tourist route, and | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
similarly it is quite undiscovered. Hull's Premier League campahgn | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
put them on the map. Many believe it helped them to beat | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Leicester to the City of Culture. Here it seems confidence | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
in a football team can lead to Anything that is good, | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
it makes people feel good, ht make You hear a lot about more about Hull | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
on the TV, and I think people recognise it, not just for football, | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
but for other things as well. We certainly get anecdotal stories | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
about visitors coming into the city nationally | :19:25. | :19:25. | |
and internationally, and many of them are really, really impressed | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
with what the city is like. It is really all linked to that | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
first initial interest with The lesson from Hull is that top | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
level football has to be a The Premier League will get people | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
into the city, but only a friendly and vibrant | :19:43. | :19:46. | |

Derby were made to work hard by League Two Carlisle ` | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
but came away with the win. The game turned | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
in one three minute spell. First a spectacular save by | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Derby's Lee Grant to turn Then Jeff Hendrick's second goal | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
of the season to put the Rals Even so, Carlisle pushed Derby every | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
inch of the way before this late, late goal from Chris Martin made | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
sure of a place in the second round. Some news coming from Derby ` | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
young talent Mason Bennett hs going And tonight in the league ctp | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
its the turn of Forest and Notts. They travel to Tranmere and | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
Sheffield Wednesday respecthvely. In Cricket, news from Leicestershire | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
that County Chief Executive Mike Siddall is stepping down | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
at the end of the season. His "short term" | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
appointment in twenty ten h`s ended On the field, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Derbyshire were victorious in the Royal London Cup yesterday | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
but today Notts Outlaws werd Jets batsmen Mark Stoneman `nd | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Ben Stokes doing the damage. Now, we have some very | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
special guests with us. This is Mansfield's Paralympic | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
swimmer Ollie Hynd and And, as you can see, | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
Ollie comes with medals. Both European and Commonwealth Gold | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
in the SM8 Individual Medlex plus another European Gold | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
in the S8 four hundred freestyle. It has been quite a couple of weeks. | :21:26. | :21:40. | |
Have you come down yet? Not really. I have not had a chance to take | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
everything in, and it has bden really busy, and I have achheved | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
everything that I wanted to, so I am definitely going to take sole time | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
to reflect on it. We should talk about the Commonwealth Games first | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
of all. You dominated your dvent for England, and we can take a look at | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
it. How was the game is for you It was a fantastic experience. It was | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
very reminiscent of London, in the way that the home crowd got behind | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
us, and it was such a friendly atmosphere. Everything was really | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
good and everything that we dreamt of as athletes. We can see ` touch | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
of that atmosphere here. Elsewhere, parliament events were separated, | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
but here everyone was in together. What was that like? It was ` bit | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
different, but I quite enjoxed it, we're all made to feel just part of | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
one team, Team England, so ht was really good. We have got medals | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
here. So put the achievements into context. You have to look at the | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
Commonwealth Games, firstly. He was looking to complete the full set of | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
medals, because he is already Paralympic, world and Europdan | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
champion, so to complete thd set, he is now in a very select band of | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
athletes. There is only certain David Wilkie and Rebecca Adlington, | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
who have held all four titlds at the same time, so it is a major | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
achievement. Let us see him getting his Commonwealth medals. We usually | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
ask the athlete how this molent felt. How did it feel for you as | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
coach? I was in the stands, but it was fantastic. It was on a par with | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
London, I would say. It was obviously different, but whdn he | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
actually got his medal, we nearly fell out of the stand. Then when he | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
came round for his medal at the end, it was quite an emotional thme, for | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
myself and also for the main person here. Thank you for coming hn to | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
join us. On the road to Rio next? Yes, definitely. That is thd | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
long`term goal we're looking at We have got more championships next | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
year, so that will give us ` last benchmark before going to Rho. We | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
wish you all the best. Thank you for joining us. Fantastic. Well done. | :24:14. | :24:22. | |

We have got an automaton fudl to the weather at the moment. We are still | :25:59. | :26:14. | |
under the influence of this rather brisk westerly wind, but we have an | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
improvement over the next 24 hours. The low`pressure zone will be | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
pushing its way northwards, so lighter winds through tomorrow, and | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
the winds shifting to a north westerly direction, so we whll be | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
more sheltered in terms of showers and feeling a little bit better as | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
well. We have had some showdrs within through quite quicklx, some | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
heavy ones through the afternoon, as well, but some sunshine in between | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
as well. Most of them will be fading away tonight, one to creeping back | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
in, but generally dry with one hour to spells. Temperatures in double | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
figures. A live`in Celsius `re 2 Celsius. Tomorrow morning, we will | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
start with one or two showers. There will be some breaks in the cloud, | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
Susan sunshine through the lorning. The showers will become fewdr and | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
further between as the afternoon wears on, so much more in the way of | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
sunshine, and a few do get ` shower, it will be lighter as well. It will | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
start to feel warmer as well. 1 Celsius, 19 Celsius. And thdre is | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
the showers will return, and feeling a little bit cooler as well, but | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
things settling down towards the end of the week. A little bit of high | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
pressure that will eventually kill off the showers. The end is in | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
