Also tonight, a crisis in animal care, as newly qualified vets | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
It can be daunting for a new graduates going out to work on their | :00:20. | :00:31. | |
own and it can be isolating. Plus, game on - how | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
the National Video Arcade steered And in the weather here I whll be | :00:34. | :00:45. | |

Good evening and welcome to the programme with Anne Davies | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
First tonight, Prince Harry's been back in Nottingham today | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
He's been to the National Ice Centre, and he's opened | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
The Prince also went back to an inner-city youth project that | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball, was at the Comlunity | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Recording Studio too, and joins us now. | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
Hello. This youth centre is the focus of Prince Harry's youth work | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
here in Nottingham. He has been here publicly and privately several | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
times. Tonight there is a rdgular singing lesson going on. This | :01:37. | :01:37. | |
singing lesson going on. Thhs afternoon the Prince was back here | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
again. He was meeting some of the young musicians here, laughing and | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
joking with them, and as always when he comes here, he was posing for | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
photographs. His visit here began in the centre of Nottingham. Otr | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
reporter brings this. First, by Royal appointment, a visit | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
to Her Majesty's Constabulary, a white rose ready in memory | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
of his mother. He had the Rose and everythhng, | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
so we are very happy. After 80 years at its old site, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Central Police Station has Apart from officially | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
opening the building, Prince Harry learned about how young | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
people are gaining experience through apprenticeships | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
in the police cadets. Next stop, the National Ice Centre | :02:20. | :02:20. | |
for more excitement. When I heard he is going to be | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
in Nottingham today, I went, oh, my gosh, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
I want to see him. Are you excited? | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Yeah! The sporting prince could not resist | :02:29. | :02:29. | |
trying his hand at some Inside, Prince Harry revisited | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
in Nottingham initiative which has been piloted | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
elsewhere in the country. It is called the Coach Corps | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
Apprenticeships Scheme and it is Partners include Nottingham Forest, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Nottingham County, Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
and the Ice Centre. The idea is to take a 16-24 | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
-year-olds with limited opportunities and train them to be | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
sport coaches or mentors. It says 98% of its | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
graduates are now either in full-time employment | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
or in education. It is really important becatse it | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
helps a lot of people. It is not selfish but it helps a lot | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
of people on a daily basis. It boosted my confidence | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
and motivated me to get a good I think, to be honest, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
helping children achieve what they want to achieve | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
is what motivates me the most. Does anyone think it is we are that | :03:23. | :03:36. | |
they are pushing that around? After staying longer than hd was | :03:37. | :03:37. | |
After staying longer than he was scheduled to, Prince Harry had to | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
get his skates on. These are nice. Thank you. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
There was a gift of size ten ice skates from the apprentices, and he | :03:49. | :03:49. | |
wants them to sign it. Prince Harry's been supporthng this | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
project in St Ann's for the last He's passionate about | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
what they're doing here. To create opportunities in one | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
of the most deprived He saw a rehearsal for | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
the latest project. This musical drama, | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
called the Hiphopera, It was a chance for the actors | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
to show him what they've achieved. It feels special that he has come | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
down here, so that I was able to see him in the flesh as well | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
and not just on camera and stuff. It was really good performing | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
in front of Prince Harry. He is an inspiration to me, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
and I think it gave me a bit more courage and it made me want to, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
like, give a better performance, Let's speak to Mick Dawber, | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
who's working in local schools for How much difference do you think | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
Prince Harry's support has I think his presence has bedn a bit | :04:41. | :04:53. | |
of gold dust on the community. But it is deeper than that. The young | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
people appreciate how important he is, and it makes them understand | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
somebody cares about them. It has been a big day? | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
Massive, because there have been TV cameras and people, so the kids have | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
been a bit overwhelmed but it makes them understand it is a big deal. It | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
makes them understand peopld are interested in what they are doing, | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
and care about them. Thank you for joining us. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
And while things are getting back to normal here. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
I don't think anyone will be surprised if Prince Harry | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
The MP for Grantham and Stamford, Nick Boles, announced on social | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
media today he's been diagnosed with cancer for the second time | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
The Conservative MP resigned from the Government when Theresa May | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
Writing on Twitter, Mr Boles has said doctors found a cancerous | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
A man's been bailed, after the body of a 29-year,old | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
woman was found at West Bridgford in Nottinghamshire. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Police were called to a house on Alford Close yesterday morning | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
and have begun an investigation into her death. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
The 33-year-old man was arrested yesterday in connection | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Police looking for a 22-year-old woman, who's been missing | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
for a week, say they're searching a lake. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Melanie Wilson from Mansfield hasn't been seen since last Wednesday. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Nottinghamshire Police say they re becoming increasingly | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
concerned for her safety, extending their search | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
to Sutton Lawn Park, in Sutton-in-Ashfield. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
They say there haven't been any credible sightings of Melanhe | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
A court's been hearing how a 17-year-old died | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
The jury at Nottingham Crown Court was shown CCTV film of the killing. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
Dominic Halliday-Fox denies murdering Dante Francis outside | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
It happened outside the Empire Bar at Swadlincote | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
There was a party for up to 200 people, all invited. | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
Among them, Dante Francis, who was 17 and from Leicester, | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and Dominic Halliday-Fox, who is 22 and the defendant, from Derby. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
The jury was shown CCTV, including footage in the street | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
You will see for yourselves the killing of the young victim | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
Dante Francis died from a stab wound and the pathologist describdd it | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Dante lost his fight for life at the Queens Medical Centre | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
Just prior to the stabbing, the jury saw on the CCTV | :07:48. | :08:00. | |
Dante throw two punches towards the defendant's head. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
While Dante was then standing doing nothing, the court heard, | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
the defendant pulled a knife, stepped towards Dante, lunghng twice | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
Of the defendant, Mr Joyce said that there is no doubt it was this | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
man who stabbed Dante Francis, no doubt he used a knife he had | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
taken out with him that night to the party. | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
You have seen with your own eyes what is plainly murder, | :08:21. | :08:25. | |

Nasa's rather keen on their merino wool T-shirts, which can be worn | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Farmers are facing a crisis in animal care because newly | :08:50. | :09:02. | |
qualified vets are increasingly choosing not to take | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
The British Veterinary Association is warning of a shortage of vets | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
They say young graduates fe`r the long hours and a lack | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
Here on Upper Broombriggs Farm in Woodhouse Eaves, | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
they've got almost 1,000 head of cattle. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
With the sheep to look after too, it's a daunting task to keep | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
the animals healthy, particularly for a newly qualified vet. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
It's very, very difficult for young vets. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
They leave the university environment, where you have | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
got all of your friends and peers for support, | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
and lots of university lecturers, and then you're out | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
It's a very big transition if they're going into a small mixed | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
practice in an area where none of their friends and family | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
necessarily are from, and where they don't have any | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
of their friends nearby, so socially it can be very isolating. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Despite the British Veterinary Association's concerns, | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
at the University of Nottingham, which offers the only veterhnary | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
they're confident they can leet the demands for new vets. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
We have one of Europe's leading schools on farm animal | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
teaching and research, and it's not something we sde | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
We still have 25% or more undergraduates wishing | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
to work in rural practice, and many of them go into rural | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
There are not many jobs, when you bring life into thd world | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
and you watch that little c`lf running around, | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
and then you have a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
The challenge now is to retain that enthusiasm in rural | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
Jim Davis, BBC East Midlands Today, Leicestershire. | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
Before we came on air, I spoke to James Russell, | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
regional representative of the British Veterinary | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Association, and began by asking him if it was true that young vets felt | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Certainly we are very proud of the vets that we have here, | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
and of the fact that they do tend to stay with us. | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
But we do recognise from thd survey that it has been | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
87% of them will quote location as a reason why, or a consideration | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
Because, clearly, veterinarx practice is often in the middle | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
Absolutely, and that is both the draw and the disadvantage of it, | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
but I think that the answer to this will have lots of aspects, | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
but will ultimately be about making sure that our vets feel valued | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
within the rural community of which they are a part. | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
Do you encourage them to john societies or to link up | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Yeah, absolutely, and both of those, Dominic, you have touched | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
We have a young vet network which runs right across the country, | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
bringing young vets together, but also organisations that exist | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Things like the Young Farmers Association can be hugely valuable | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
in making sure that people have relationships outside | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
And just very briefly, what would be the situation if more | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
vets do leave the countryside and more do not join? | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
Well, I think it will mean that I am working more nights, | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
and that will not be good for anybody. | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Really, it becomes much harder to offer a service, obviously. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
James Russell, thanks very much for talking to us. | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
A Derbyshire MP has told the Prime Minister a new junction | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
In the Commons, the Conservative MP for Erewash, Maggie Throup, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
says the M1 will need a junction between Sandiacre and Nuthall | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
for traffic generated by a high-speed railway lind. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
There are concerns a new HS2 rail hub in Nottinghamshire could cause | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
I understand Highways England are looking at the issues | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
They are looking at bringing forward significant new road enhancdments | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
around the expected site of the new East Midlands | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
HS2 station, and going forward, they are looking at an audit | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
of roads in the area, and I trust that my honourable | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
friend will make her voice heard on this issue, and that | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
of her constituents, as she has done in the past. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
There won't be an official "switch-on" of the Christmas | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
The City Council's confirmed it isn't holding the tradition`l | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
It says it's had to scale back Derby's Christmas programme due | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
to a lack of funding, putting on a "reduced" | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
Health authorities in Leicester are stepping up their fight | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
The city has one of the highest rates of TB | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
Leicester's Hospitals Trust has teamed up with experts | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
at De Montfort University to make an online video to raise | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
awareness of the disease - a bacterial infection that mainly | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
It's been promoted in Leicester and has been welcomed by patients, | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
Until recently, this was impossible for Edina. | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
She is undergoing daily tre`tment for TB, and simply leaving the house | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
I was so shocked that for one minute or two minutes | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
It was very hard because I had to take many tablets, | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
and then those tablets caused me vomiting and not feeling very well. | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
TB is a national problem, but it is particularly prev`lent | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
in Leicester, which is why health experts in partnership | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
with De Montfort University are launching this online vhdeo | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
It is just an informative animation, a short three-minute one, to | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
let people know it is still around and it is curable and you can be | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Outside of London, the rate of TB here in Leicester is among | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
Around 150 people are treated each year. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Authorities hope this video will bring that figure down. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Leicester has a very high proportion of residents who have spent | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
a considerable amount of time living in countries | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
where there's lots of TB about, so a lot of TB | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
And we have managed to reduce the incidence by approximately 50% | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
That is because of a system`tic prevention programme, | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
It is a modern method of fighting what is often perceived | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
Adina knows only too well it has not gone away. | :15:50. | :15:54. | |

A Derbyshire company is creating clothing that is, or rather will be, | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
quite out of this world - clothing that's being put | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
to use on board Nasa's International Space Station. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
Belper-based Armadillo Merino makes next-to-skin T-shirts | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
from merino wool that are designed to withstand | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
The shirts are flame-retard`nt up to 600 degrees and can be worn | :16:18. | :16:24. | |

Merino wool - the material being used by this Derbyshire firm | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
to make clothes survive the toughest conditions that both the pl`net | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
and International Space Centre can throw at it. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
They had been working with man-made fibres ever | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
since man went into space, and what they were wanting to do | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
was overcome issues around static, flammability, moisture management | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
and odour, and they kept on adding more and more chemicals. | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
We introduced them to the properties of merino wool, and here | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
we were offering them a product with all of those solutions already | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Inspired by footage of US soldiers who had sustained burns | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
from the clothes they were wearing in the Iraq war, | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
It is now getting orders from special forces | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Its T-shirts are flame-retardant up to 600 degrees. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
The firm is also now joining forces with fellow Derbyshire comp`ny | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Preform Technologies, which uses a high-spec knitting machine | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
What we are able to do is use their technical know,how | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
with knitting and manufacturing techniques, and combine that | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
with our knowledge of wool and technical yarns, | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
coming up with new products, and with their investment | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
in the machine, we are coming up with products that are | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
There are no seams which go into your neck when you wear | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
a helmet over it or anything like that. | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
They are now being tested by police teams in France and America. | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Both firms are hoping they will prove to be | :18:13. | :18:14. | |

match away to the league leaders Saracens. | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
With more than 120 caps between them, it is no surprise to see Dan | :19:23. | :19:39. | |
Cole and Ben Youngs called by their country once again. The inclusion of | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
21-year-old Ellis shows the Tigers have got another young star on their | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
hands. I am delighted that he is in there | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
for the first time for the `utumn for the first time for the `utumn | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
series, in the wider group of the 33. Dan Cole and Ben Youngs you | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
would expect to be there because they have been there throughout and | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
they have been there throughout, and we have a rich heritage of Dnglish | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
we have a rich heritage of English players, England players in the | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
team. I am delighted. The first test is against South | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
Africa at Twickenham in a couple of weeks, but there is first work to be | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
done here, because Tigers travel to Saracens on Saturday and after | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
beating the French champions last weekend, they now take on the | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
reigning English champions. But they will have to do so without their | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
start summer signing Matt, the Australian who damaged a knde | :20:28. | :20:28. | |
Australian who damaged a knee ligament at the weekend, and will be | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
out for the next six months. It is another blow in what has been | :20:34. | :20:34. | |
out for the next six months. It is another blow in what has bedn an | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
another blow in what has been an up-and-down season so far. Three | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
defeats in eight games, maybe not the standard that Tigers fans have | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
come to expect. After that defeat to Glasgow, you said last week you were | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
sitting having to answer questions about your own job. Is rugbx and the | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
coverage of rugby becoming short-term? | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
It is we reporters' point of view, because professional sport has to | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
follow football... Whoever Manchester United are playing this | :21:04. | :21:04. | |
week will be an important game Manchester United are playing this | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
week will be an important g`me for week will be an important g`me for | :21:08. | :21:08. | |
them... That is sport NI understand but you have to take a meastred | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
but you have to take a measured view. Eight games in, we ard | :21:11. | :21:11. | |
but you have to take a meastred view. Eight games in, we are doing | :21:12. | :21:11. | |
view. Eight games in, we ard doing fairly well. We would like to win | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
every game and be top of everything, but that is not how sport works. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
Before the first England test, a tough test at the league leaders. | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
tough test at the league le`ders. Tigers have never won at Saracens's | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
Park and Saturday will be the first perfect time to change that. | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
Also selected for England, for the Women's team, | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
The women's squad will have professional contracts | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
and stay together throughout their autumn series. | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
The England cricket team for the tour of India was announced | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
overnight too, and there's no place for Nottinghamshire | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
He skipped the trip to Bangladesh because of security concerns, | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
but his spot was already under threat. | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
And in snooker, Mark Selby is through to the fourth round of | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
the International Championship in China after beating Liang Wenbo. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
Now it is back to the studio, where you have... | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
Was that a joke about video games? Colin knows about video games. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Two months ago, the National Video Arcade in Nottingham was close | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
to going out of business, despite only opening | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
But after finding new backers and with the commitment of staff, | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Today it's opened the Nottingham Game City Festival, which is | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Simon Ward went along to see what's on offer. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
It was all action at the National Video Game Arcade today, | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
but the centre almost crashed and burned after getting | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
The director explains how they defended the business | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
One of our key partners pulled out of the project, and then we thought | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
we were being acquired but we suddenly weren't. | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
So, in the middle of August, in the middle of the holidax season, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
we were left with insolvency, really. | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
So, to try to solve that problem, which we thought we could, | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
we had to ask ourselves to work for a week for deferred salary, | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
and every single member of staff did so, and that is what allowed us | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
to raise enough finances to save the business, | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
So, we are now formed as a National Video Game Fotndation. | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
There's loads of fantastic video games to play, of course, | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
Your task is to simply obey the orders of the mighty Zordon. | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
One of the big things that Game City and the MVA show | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
you is that game development is a really broad sphere, | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
that there are a lot of things involved. | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
That hardware does not just have to be mobile | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
There are modern games, like this virtual reality sxstem, | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
and retro games for young and old to enjoy. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
I am really impressed with ht so far and it is really nice to see | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
the old games and take a trip back to my childhood, | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
I like the older games because they are unique. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
I especially like the Legend of Zelda games, and Super M`rio | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
The Game City Festival conthnues here until Saturday. | :24:14. | :24:16. | |

Now let's take a look at the weather. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
We have finally lost the chhlly breeze and we are seeing higher | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
temperatures in the mid teens. High-pressure largely driving the | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
weather so a settled story. We will see plenty in the way of cloud and | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
not much in the way of rain. Holding onto milder temperatures. As is | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
common when we have high pressure in autumn, there is the chance of mist | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
and fog patches bursting. This photograph from a Weather W`tcher in | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
