We speak to the family of a grandmother killed | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I've had friends and people saying they can't imagine what I'm | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
going through and I'm saying don't try to imagine this. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
A man appeared in court today charged with her murder. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
We reveal why pollution levels at the Dartford Crossing were excluded | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Plus an apology from Eurostar to the disabled student told | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
to pay extra to take her wheelchair onboard. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
My wheelchair is not a luxury to have onboard, | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
it's a necessity so for them to view it in that light is | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Fashion guru Gok Wan tells us why he wants to bring | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programme with me, Riz Lateef. | :00:52. | :01:13. | |
She was our rock and the heart has been ripped out of our family. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
The children of an 80-year-old woman found strangled on an allotment | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
in North London say the heart has been ripped out of their family. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Lea Adri-Soejoko's body was discovered | :01:26. | :01:26. | |
Her son and daughter pay tribute to their mother, | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Nick Beake reports. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
We have had the heart ripped out of our family. We can hardly process | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
what has happened. The private grief of a son and daughter laid bare. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Today outside the allotments where their mother was found strangled, | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
they paid tribute to her. Nothing was a drama, she was very calm, | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
funny,... And she would do anything for us. She was the ultimate | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
matriarch. She was the heart of our family. We're just appealing for | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
anyone who might have seen anything. Lea Adri-Soejoko's body was | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
discovered last week in a shed at the community gardens where she was | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
a secretary. She loved her life right now. She was getting younger | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
by the day. She was 80 but acting like she was 30 and younger. Having | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
almost like another teenage time, she just loved her life, going out, | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
starting to dress more trendy. She was just loving her life and that | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
has been taken from her. That shouldn't have happened. These are | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
the tribute at her home. A short distance away. His death has touched | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
friends and family. You can't imagine it. You can't deal with it. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
The whole world is falling apart me and my family. Here in Colindale | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
grieving family have been appealing to the public for more information. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Meanwhile in Wimbledon, a 40-year-old man, Rahim Mohammadi, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
has appeared in court charged with the pensioner's murder. The police | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
will not be drawn on a motive, but say they need more help from the | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
public including any information about the pensioner's missing keys. | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Did anyone find them in and around the area? A Morrisons key fob on | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
them. For local drivers and residents, did you see here on | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Monday, very distinctive pattern hair, as family describe it, pink | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
piping on her blue boots, jacket, did you see her at her home address | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
or the allotments? Did you see anyone calling at her address on | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Monday? We need to have as much information as possible so we can | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
get justice for our mum. A London street breaching its annual | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
air pollution limits in just five days, the capital put on high alert | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
for pollution under a new monitoring system and the Mayor making | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
cleaner air for Londoners All indications that something | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
must be done to help All this week, in our series | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
Toxic London, we'll be looking In a moment we'll hear how pollution | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
levels around one of the most congested roads in the south east | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
were excluded in government figures. First let's cross to Gareth Furby | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
who's in Marylebone for us tonight. Yes, all week we will look at this | :04:26. | :04:39. | |
issue but you might say, what has this got to do with me? How much air | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
pollution and my exposed to? To give you some idea we asked one London | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
family to carry around a special sensor which picks up levels of air | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
pollution and they were amazed by what they found out. | :04:54. | :04:54. | |
I'm Sean, I'm an assistant head at a school in Cheltenham. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
I'm Rachel and this is Jonah and he's three and this is Caleb | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
He was born eight weeks prematurely and spent five weeks in hospital | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
We'd love to find out ways that we can reduce | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
what they are exposed to without having to move house. | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
The McNamaras live on a busy road in East Greenwich. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
We followed them for one day using a new device which monitors | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
pollution and sends the results to your phone. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
While Rachel walks to nursery, Sean drives to work and he's joined | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
by Romain Lacombe from Plume Labs who developed the sensor. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
What we see here is the reading for NO2, which is an exhaust gas. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
The levels increased during the drive and reach | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
As we just get out of the car here in front of the school, | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
the two levels we are measuring actually became higher. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
I'm shocked that it went from moderate to high outside | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
of the school and the implications for all of the health | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Rachel's walk to the nursery also showed high levels. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
We asked an expert what parents and teachers can do | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
You can have a really big drop in your exposure by simply taking | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
And then encourage schools to put something in place to get people | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
The McNamaras say they now plan to make changes to their routine. | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
Being just aware of two young boys and making sure | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
that they have the best possible air that they can really. | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
That is one family's experience. Tell us about the pollution where | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
you are. Yes, I'm on the Marylebone Road and this is not a place you | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
want to come to if you have any kind of lung condition. It's one of the | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
most polluted places in London, regularly breaking those legal | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
limits for nitrogen oxide levels and the reason, there is a pretty big | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
clue behind me. It is this constant heavy traffic. This is the biggest | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
problem in London, diesel engines being the worst, and the road to | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
produce around 50% of all air pollution. Then there is the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
heating, lighting in your homes, offices, factories and on building | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
sites, which adds up to 37% of nitrogen oxide. In the sky who | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
produce around 8% of nitrogen oxide. The cost, some experts say if you | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
are vulnerable, if you have a lung problem, a heart condition, it can | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
contribute to your early death. One estimate is saying around 9000 early | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
deaths year could because to buy air pollution, so we will look firstly | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
at this issue all week and asking what, if anything, can be done to | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
sort it out. We are indeed. Gareth, thank you very much for that. | :08:05. | :08:05. | |
Well the BBC has discovered that pollution levels around one | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
of the busiest sections of road in the country have been excluded | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
from government air quality assessments despite carrying | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
Sarah Harris is at the Dartford Crossing this | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Well, the road here certainly looks like a motorway, doesn't it? It | :08:18. | :08:33. | |
sounds like a motorway and I can tell you 55 million vehicles use the | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Dartford crossing every year but take a closer look for yourself and | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
you will see five, six, seven, eight lanes of traffic starting to get a | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
very busy on the rush-hour. But pollution here wasn't reported | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
nationally or to the EU because the BBC has learned that their stretch | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
of road has been classified as rural. We have commissioned our own | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
air quality tests on an estate just a stone's throw away from here and | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
on three separate days, legal air quality levels were breached and | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
this is what residents have to say about it. | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
And I'm living here and I could be ill at any time, you know, | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
I feel sorry for the little children that run around in this, | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Nitrogen dioxide levels have been found by the local council, Dartford | :09:24. | :09:40. | |
council, to be very high. Officials there say they want this road | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
reclassified. We discovered that the | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
tunnel approach road There hasn't even been | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
the threat of fines. Dartford significantly exceeds | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
the recommendations as it has done We want help to get it resolved | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
as soon as possible, the sooner the better, | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
because it is blighting The government has told us in a | :10:00. | :10:15. | |
letter that this stretch of road will, in future assessments, be | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
categorised as urban, which means that the data will be sent | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
nationally and to the European Union. They said in a statement that | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
the government remains committed to improving air quality. Back to you. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Sarah, thanks very much. The BBC website is hosting a series | :10:33. | :10:33. | |
of stories this week looking at ways If you're interested | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
in what changes you can make just Charlton fans travel to Belgium to | :10:38. | :10:57. | |
stage a peaceful protest urging the club's owner to sell up. Plus. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Join me later when I'm going to be talking to you not about fashion | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
The Government has warned that London's skills | :11:06. | :11:16. | |
shortage is in danger of damaging the economy. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
So could more apprentices be the answer? | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
From April, bigger companies will be forced to invest thousands of pounds | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
in training up school leavers or lose the money. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Today, students and businesses were at the National | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Our Education Reporter Marc Ashdown went along. | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
Negotiating a route into work is a tricky business. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
The Army is one of 70 exhibitors here trying | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
Apprenticeships are increasingly seen as a way into all | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
While many of her friends are off to university, Zena is training | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
Sometimes when people go to university they're still trying | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
But, not only that, they're in a huge amount of debt. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
15,000 students are expected to attend this event. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
It's a shop window to show how varied and important | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Historically, people thought that an apprenticeship was for people | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
who aren't academically bright or do not have a choice | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
An apprenticeship really is open to anybody. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
It is crucial, it is absolutely crucial that we have a workforce | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
that is better educated, better trained, better | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
To that end, new legislation from April means any firm | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
with a payroll of ?3 million or more will have to commit 0.5% | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
of its budget to training apprentices, or lose the money. | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
But a recent survey by City and Guilds found more than a third | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
of London businesses aren't even aware of the new levy. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Nine years ago I joined as an apprentice and I started my | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
career and since then I've stayed with the company. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
And someone tells me you are employee of the year? | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Yes, I won an award, employee of the year | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Even those who have struggled academically, | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
He's now thinking of signing up as a tank engineer. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
It's actually very nice to come up and have a surprise, like, "Oh, | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
your three GCSEs can get you quite far in life even if everyone else | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
That is probably a very reassuring thing to me. | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
For many students and parents it's a first conversation | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Rather than his brothers who have both done degrees, | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
he is more interested to go and not have the debt. | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
You just jump straight through to a career and you get | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
to learn skills needed for the apprenticeship you're doing. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
More and more young people than are realising the benefits | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
The former boxer Michael Watson says he hung on for dear life | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
as he was dragged several hundred metres along a road during a violent | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
The 51-year-old has been speaking to the BBC's Crimewatch programme | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
And you can see that interview in full on Crimewatch | :14:12. | :14:38. | |
An unexploded World War Two bomb which was discovered in north west | :14:39. | :14:50. | |
London last week has been detonated in Essex. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
Experts from the Royal Navy and British Army safely disposed | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
of the device at a military base in Southend. | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
The bomb was removed from a building site in Brondesbury Park. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
A London student says she's deeply disappointed after being told | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
she'd have to pay ?60 to take her wheelchair | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
The 22-year-old was travelling from London to Brussels with friends. | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
Sonja Jessup is at St Pancras International. | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
And you've been speaking to her today? | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
Yes, she told me that when she booked this trip she explained to | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Eurostar she would need her wheelchair. She has lower leg muscle | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
weakness and needs a wheelchair for long distances. Eurostar said | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
because the chair doesn't fold up it would have to go in the hold, but | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
they wanted her to pay ?60 for that. This was her reaction. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
I've was really disappointed at the way they viewed | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
the wheelchair as likening it to a bicycle, musical instrument, | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
My wheelchair is not a luxury to have onboard. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
So for them to view it in that light is really inappropriate | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Eurostar then suggested Leila might like to travel first class where | :16:09. | :16:21. | |
there was more room with her wheelchair but they wanted her to | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
pay the upgrade and she wouldn't be able to travel with her friends. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
Eventually they did back down and Leila was able to travel with her | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
wheelchair at no extra cost. Have you spoken to Eurostar today? What | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
have they had to say? Well, they say they are very sorry, Leila was told | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
the wrong information and should not have been charged. They say they | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
will speak to staff to make sure they know what to do in future. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Disability campaigners say this kind of case highlights how sometimes | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
company policy is not being followed on the ground. Sonia, thanks very | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
much. A national charity says deaf | :16:57. | :16:57. | |
children in London are being left behind due to delays | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
in receiving hearing aids. It blames the Government's | :17:01. | :17:01. | |
decision to stop inspections Ayshea Buksh has been | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
speaking to one mother, who feels standards are slipping, | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
and that's had a huge impact Story time for Ryan with his parents | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
has at times been a struggle. He was born with hearing | :17:12. | :17:22. | |
difficulties and as a newborn baby But his parents had to wait | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
until he was two years old for an electronic cochlear | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
implant to be fitted. We feel he may have missed out | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
on a whole year of hearing and had he been implanted earlier, | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
he may have started speaking earlier, you know, he may have been | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
on par with the rest of his peers. Ryan's experience is not uncommon | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
according to the leading He is one of 7,000 children | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
in London with hearing problems. But, following NHS reforms, | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
mandatory testing of audiology There are 17 audiology | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
departments in London. Six out of 17 are not registered | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
and over half have no What we want to see is this | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
programme being mandatory. So that all services | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
are required to meet standards. So unless parents know | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
that the service is of high quality, they cannot be sure that | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
what is happening to them The director for audiology | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
with NHS England believes, despite no mandatory testing, | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
the service is robust. Every child born in the UK today | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
has their hearing screened within 24 hours of life and that is really, | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
really an amazing programme we run. But after that it seems | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
to get a little bit lost. After that then children | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
and their families start And what difference has it made | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
to you having that hearing aid? While charities may believe | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
those audiology services need better monitoring, | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Ryan is pretty proud Football, and Charlton have said | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
they are disappointed with supporters who travelled | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
to Belgium at the weekend to peacefully protest | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
against the club's owner. But the fans involved say they'll | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
continue to do until he sells. The owner of Charlton is one of the | :19:14. | :19:30. | |
richest men in Belgium who bought the club in early 2014 and owns five | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
clubs in Europe and some fans say it's part of a problem, how can you | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
possibly work in the best interests of all of them? Since he's been in | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
charge of Charlton he has sacked manager eight times, provided over | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
relegation to the third tier of English that ball and the team is | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
currently fighting against relegation to the fourth tier adding | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
the short ball and over the last 18 months there's been a series of | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
creative protests, fans held a mock funeral for the club, held toy pigs | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
onto the pitch on one game to symbolise greed. The target these | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
protests of home and the Chief Executive, with him not having been | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
to a Charlton game since 2014, this weekend 300 fans took their protest | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
to his hometown, had a peaceful process and earlier today we spoke | :20:20. | :20:20. | |
to one of those on the march. Well, we were very pleased with | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
the numbers of people that came out. It far exceeded our expectations | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
and the protest went very well. Our message to Roland | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
was really clear. The time for talking has gone | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
and we're not going to stop A defined message from the fans, | :20:34. | :20:48. | |
defined also from the owner. The club has said they are disappointed | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
with this protest and there's no indication that the manager will | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
sell Charlton. It's all rather sad because it's hard to see how the | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
situation will resolve itself. One club would no such worries is | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Chelsea. Their new stadium plans got approval from the mail today. Yes, | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Sadiq Khan David green light -- Mayor. They will build a new ?500 | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
million stadium on the site of their current home Stamford Bridge and it | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
will have 60,000 seats, an upgrade of 20,000 seats on the current | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
Stamford Bridge ground. Galea said open would be the start of 2021-22 | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
season. And they will have to play away from Stamford Bridge for at | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
least three years. They will publish have to play play at Wembley during | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
that time. OK, Chris, thank you very much for that update. | :21:38. | :21:38. | |
He's best known for teaching us how to enjoy fashion, | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
but now Gok Wan wants to share one of his other passions - | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
He's been telling Alice Bhandhukravi why he thinks you don't have to know | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
everything about the art form to enjoy it. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
giving women up and down the country help with their clothes but he's | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
So the fashion guru, who was once a hair and make-up artist, | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
has given me a special behind-the-scenes tour | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
So Alice, welcome to the guts of the ENO. | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
Such is his love of opera, that he's now put together an album | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
The beauty of creating or curating this CD is the fact that you can | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
take something that you really love and you can pass it on to other | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
people and say have a go, have a listen, and if you think | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
about it is no different from fashion really. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
I would turn around and say, I love your boots, I love your dress, | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
and I think that would be great with the. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
and I think that would be great with you. | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
Equally with the CD, I'm saying I love this track, | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
Gok makes no excuses for wanting opera to be more accessible. | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
There is a real misconception that when it comes to opera | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
it's only for the elite, the middle classes that will turn | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
round and say you have to look a certain way, | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
behave a certain way, speak a certain way, | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
dress a certain way and know everything about the opera, | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
The CD Gok's Divas includes the likes of Katherine Jenkins, | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
Maria Callas and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
We see you are somebody who loves women. | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
I really love women and I have a slight fascination | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
And so when you see Kiri on stage, and she can have no set really, | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
and she just belts out a number, and she will hate me for using those | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
words around her singing, but when she belts out a number, | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
it's one of the most powerful, most inspiring things you will ever hear. | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
So what does this mean for your career? | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
I definitely won't be singing opera because I've got | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
This opera CD is a hobby so I don't know where it's going to go | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
If it takes me to a whole new world, I have no idea | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
at all but until then, I shall still be surrounded | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
And a voice that cleans Evans. Someone else who likes opera is | :24:07. | :24:22. | |
here. Your voice is lovely. That you are here to talk about the weather | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
which is getting warmer. Yes, it is getting warmer. Today was a | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
beautiful day between the fluffy cumulus clouds, blue skies, a bit of | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
blossom, daffodils, it was a delightful spring day. It's not | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
going to look quite like that as we go through this week. It will be | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
very mild and they will be spells of rain. Not great for commuting, I | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
suspect. The satellite picture shows how lucky we were because there were | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
shouts down the east of the country and the west of the country but we | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
were in a nice sunny slot in the middle. This massive cloud is going | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
to push in Tuesday night. It will change the weather somewhat as we go | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
through towards the end of the week so there is a ridge of high pressure | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
before it gets here so Tuesday is quite nice but the rain pushes | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
through and the low-pressure drags through into Wednesday and there's a | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
low-pressure behind me which will join in over the weekend and change | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
things again. In the meantime, yes, it is warming up. By Wednesday, | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
temperatures are 14 degrees. Not so tonight, a bit chilly, actually. One | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
or two showers but Italy in the early hours of the morning but for | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
the most part dry with some clear spells and it's not out of the | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
question to get a touch of frost locally. In backing sure, | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
temperatures will be close to freezing. Under a bit of Clyde, not | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
so much of a problem. Anyway, we will have a chilly start but quite | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
sunny tomorrow. As the day goes on we will have a bit of cloud around | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
but it's quite a pleasant day, dried with not too much of a breeze | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
blowing. Temperatures in double figures and behind me, you could see | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
the rain starting to clamber in as well. That is still with us through | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
the day on Wednesday on and off. Lots of cloud around, a breezy day | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
but temperatures, 14 Celsius. It stays mild through Thursday and | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
Friday. A little bit unsettled into the weekend, breezy as well, so not | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
perfect yet. We want the sun shines and the temperatures of 14 degrees | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
and we want to get there. Thanks very much, Wendy. | :26:29. | :26:29. | |
