Either you sorted out all we sorted out. Simple as that! Furious scenes | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
in Peterborough as taxi drivers accuse the police of not taking | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
this attack seriously enough. Hello and welcome to Look East. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Also tonight: Illegal dogs are seized in Essex. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Experts say it's a growing problem. The wonders of nature on a landfill | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
site, a Springwatch special. And a piece of English countryside | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
:00:42. | :00:49. | ||
that will be forever America in First tonight the police in | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Peterborough are forced to apologise for the way they've | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
handled an investigation into an attack on a taxi driver. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
That apology came during a furious public meeting where dozens of taxi | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
drivers confronted the police. Some drivers threatened to take the law | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
into their own hands if nothing is done. Other accused the local | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
council of racism. Our reporter Fatima Manji was there. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Give us cs spray, give us battens and we will run the city far better | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
than it you will! They say the police are failing | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
them, and even the police admit they've made mistakes. We have said | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
that we have got it wrong, we are sorry. Less than two weeks ago taxi | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
driver Mohammed Farooq was attacked by five people. Now he and fellow | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
drivers are demanding answers. They say the police were too slow to act | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
in collecting evidence and aren't doing enough to protect them. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
are going to do it again. It is not me, it is other taxi drivers, some | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
other old person. We are a residential area, my mother and | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
sister live here. We wanted to stop. Anger too at the council. Many | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
residents here say lax licensing laws have led to alcohol-fuelled | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
violence. People are shouting, screaming, throwing bottles. What | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
is that about? If it is not one club, it is another club. People | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
who give the licence at do not realise it is a residential area. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
How come they do that when they know it is a residential area? | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Among the high tension, some accused the council of ignoring | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
their voices because of the colour of their skin. We do not tolerate | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
racism. It has not got anything to do with your religion or colour of | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
skin. Everyone gets treated the same. But some are issuing an | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
ultimatum to the authorities. Either you sort it out all we will | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
sort it out. Simple as that!. would not put it exactly like that. | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
If I am standing in front of my house with my family, if someone | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
comes to attack me, if you are going to turn around and say I am | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
violent, then it is up to you. authorities have promised to act, | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
but the concern here is will it be fast enough. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Cambridgeshire Police wouldn't put anyone up for interview today. But | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
they issued a statement from Chief Inspector Kevin Vanterpool saying: | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
"This was a nasty attack which was treated very seriously, and a man | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
:03:35. | :03:35. | ||
and a woman have been arrested and He adds that they're going to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
change procedures and make sure that lessons are learnt. And the | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
:03:48. | :03:51. | ||
force will work closely with the What is the evidence of races and | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
that the claim was made during the film? Sorry, can you repeat that, | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
you cracked up their? What is the evidence of races and? We had those | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
claims made during the film. -- race is him. It was in relation to | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
how the police initially dealt with the actual assault and the | :04:13. | :04:21. | |
perpetrators of the assault, and how after eyewitnesses had told | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
them that the perpetrators are in such and such a location, the | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
police had actually given them a police escort. They had taken them | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
away from the scene. We felt that the police did not act | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
appropriately on those grounds. Generally how they deal with a lot | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
of times with taxi drivers is with very little regard. We feel | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
victimised. The elements of races and within that 10 to comparable | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
stock sorry to interrupt you, but there was a claim at last night | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
that if some people say that you do not sort it out, we will sort it | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
out. What do they mean? The local residents and the local community | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
are very tolerant. The concerns of this matter in regards to the | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
attack on the driver and the premises, we find that the | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
community feel that... There was so much anger built up so this was an | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
opportunity for them to address that in front of the police. Sorry | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
to interrupt, but does that mean you would sanction vigilante action | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
on the streets of Peterborough? we would not sanction a vigilante | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
action on the streets whatsoever, but we hope to work closer with the | :05:56. | :06:06. | |
:06:06. | :06:10. | ||
police. We expect them them to apologise. They said they will | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
learn lessons from this. Hopefully we can come to an amicable decision | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
:06:25. | :06:25. | ||
on this and move on from this. We want it resolved in the right way. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
But as community tensions build and people feel frustrated with the | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
police, victimised, sometimes people's angers run high and | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
tempers run high and things are said. Our duty as members of this | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
community in is to work with the police and get the best out of the | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
services that they provide. Very quickly, you are not going to get | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
involved in violence on the streets of Peterborough? None whatsoever. | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
We have had babies for presentation, that was last Saturday. Yesterday | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
we had meetings with the police will stop -- a peaceful protest. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Violence is not an issue here. Thank you very much for coming and | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
making that clear this evening. Next, warnings over the increasing | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
number of illegal, and dangerous, dogs. Just a reminder. Four breeds | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
were outlawed by the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act: The Pit Bull Terrier, the | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
Japanese Tosa, the Dogo Argentino and the Fila Braziliero. But | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
experts say that hasn't stopped thousands of people breeding them. | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
This report from Gareth George. Police wardens deciding how to deal | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
with suspects who may not come quietly. They are there to it sees | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
dogs that run blues in a backyard, although one owner says that is not | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
:08:14. | :08:19. | ||
a problem. They have been fine. have a shop day. I also have an | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
American Baldock. The police suspect the dog might be an illegal | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
breed. A second suspected dark it is heard from the house. Its owner | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
is clearly upset. It is part of the family, it plays and sleeps with my | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
kids. Anyone can make a dog vicious, but we have not made her vicious a. | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
It is only when we take her out. The dog wardens involved did not | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
want to appear on camera. They are worried they could be targeted by | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
the owner of an early goal darker. But they say more and more people | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
seem to have pit-bull type of docks. The wardens say they are not | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
looking after them properly and in some cases, even dump them. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Police say owners of illegal breeds risk fines and having their dogs | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
destroyed. You are committing a crime and police will take action | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
alongside wardens at our agencies to remove those docks from the | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
streets. The dogs seized today may be perfectly legal. They were | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
driven off to kennels where an expert will examine them. Wardens | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
:09:38. | :09:38. | ||
are worried that there are dangerous dogs on the streets. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Unemployment in the east has gone up for the first time in seven | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
months. 191,000 are out of work, an increase of 7,000 on last month. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
That means 6.3% of the workforce is unemployed, still well below the | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
national average. The Government wants private industry to create | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
more jobs. But is that happening? This report from our business | :09:53. | :10:02. | |
In India and China they're building one new coal-fired power station a | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
week. Not good news for the environment, so they say, but here | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
in Luton it's creating jobs. This firm makes the pumps which go into | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
power plants. It also supplies the oil and gas and nuclear industries. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Revenues are up by a third over two years, with the Far East leading | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
the way. We have recruited extensively, primarily in the | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
professional areas like engineering, project management and commercial. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
We also reinforcing the skills in what you might referred to as the | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
blue-collar workforce. We have got a graduate and apprenticeship | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
scheme now. Across the economy manufacturing is growing while | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
other sectors struggle. People who can actually make things are in | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
demand. Domino of Bar Hill in Cambridgeshire is a global leader | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
in ink jet printing. The machines made here put marking codes on | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
everything from eggs to drink cans. With export sales booming - again, | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
to China and India - it's taking on 20 new workers a month, adding to | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
:11:13. | :11:13. | ||
the current workforce of 500. the next five years, we are | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
planning to increase our work forced by a at least a third. The | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
biggest challenge will be getting the right people with the right | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
skills, particularly in engineering and manufacturing positions. While | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
it's encouraging to see manufacturing firms recruiting they | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
won't solve all our problems on their own. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Only one in 10 of us works in manufacturing so even if factories | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
take on a lot more people, it is not going to deliver jobs for | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
everyone who needs them. We need other sectors - services, | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
retailing, construction - to grow too. But the rebalancing of our | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
economy has begun. Coming up later in the programme: | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Some great Springwatch pictures from a landfill site. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
And the university growing its own coral to try to combat climate | :11:59. | :12:09. | |

The Princess Royal has been paying tribute to 200 soldiers who have | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
just returned from their recent tour of Afghanistan. At a special | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
ceremony in Colchester, Princess Anne she was handing out campaign | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
medals. For many of the soldiers. It was their first time on the | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
front line. You'd see your face reflected in | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
every boot on the parade ground at Merville Barracks today. As the | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
soldiers marched on and their families waited, their Colonel in | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Chief, the Princess Royal flew in to Colchester to honour their | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
achievements. Taking time out to talk to many of them, she handed | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
out operational service medals to 200 men and women, just back from | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
six months on the front line in Afghanistan. The regiment has | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
undertaken a very successful tour and you are all to be congratulated | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
on a job very well done and on your safe return. It recognises what we | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
are doing when the Colonel-in-Chief can take time out from her schedule. | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
It is nice to come back and receive our medals and have this family day. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
It is to thank them for the support they have given us a while we were | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
away. Without these soldiers, remote units would be unable to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
function. At huge risk of insurgent attacks, they drive for days to | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
supply front line troops with ammunition, food, fuel and | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
equipment. Others helped train Afghan troops. It was not the guys | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
who had been there for the first time he were my concern, it was the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
ones who had been there before and had a thought of what Afghanistan | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
was like. They were changing the nation -- nature of the operation | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
out there so it was different for them. It was a bigger challenge. | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Today was a special one for these soldiers but perhaps almost more | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
importantly for their families. A chance for the regiment to thanks | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
those behind those on the front line. A police watchdog won't | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
investigate the death of man shot at an animal sanctuary in Norfolk. | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
The body of John Loveday was discovered on Sunday at Stratton | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
Strawless. A 49-year-old woman has since been remanded in custody | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
charged with murder. The case had been referred to the Independent | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Police Complaints Commission, but they've decided there are no | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
grounds to investigate. Students from London have been in | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
Norfolk today learning how to build a nuclear power station from | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
scratch. Organisers hope the project at the Bircham Newton | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
training college near Kings Lynn will attract more engineers into | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
:14:44. | :14:47. | ||
the nuclear industry. This is the dome of a power station | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
under construction. It is real enough to these students from | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
Imperial College. Drop it. Hang on. A concrete mixture is due to turn | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
up in half-an-hour and the wooden mould does not quite fit. Cue a | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
last-minute panic. It is a difficult process because some of | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
the steel is not perfectly bent and we are in a rush to get rid -- | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
ready for the concrete in 30 minutes. The government wants to | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
build a few new power stations, but we do not have enough engineers | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
capable of doing that at the moment. We desperately need the skills. We | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
have not built anything for a while so this young generation have no | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
idea of the difference between building a tower block and a | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
nuclear reactor. The difference between them is obviously very | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
large. We sit in classrooms for up to six hours a day doing maths, | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
fluids, all kinds of things. Now we are finally at he getting our hands | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
dirty, building things, and you really get to know what matters to | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
people who will do this later on in life. The mixer turns up and there | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
is a worry it might have the wrong kind of concrete which could have | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
been tricky. This is a week-long pylon to. If it | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
is a success, students from 16 universities, including Cambridge, | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
will be back to learn more about building our nuclear future. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
A business in Chelmsford is warning other companies to check their | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
phone system after falling victim to hackers. The phone lines at | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Fast-signs were hacked into and ran up a bill for more than �3,000 for | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
calls made on satellite phones. The police say it's a highly | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
sophisticated fraud and some other companies have lost even more. The | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
hackers got in to the switchboard through the system's voicemail. | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
The former boxer Frank Bruno was at sports day in Thetford today | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
helping 400 children with special needs. The event is organised by | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
the Essex-based charity The Presidents Sporting Club. It allows | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
:17:06. | :17:08. | ||
children to try activities they might not normally consider. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Frank Bruno often dominates a public arena, but in this class he | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
almost met his match. He says children playing sport brings a | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
smile to his face. I took a photograph of them and they'd made | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
a nice comments. Some of them tried to beat me up and trip me up. But | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
they are happy and enjoying themselves, they love it. Jack is | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
15. He has severe learning difficulties and is visually | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
impaired. He does not get a chance to use a company at school. | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
could see by the look on his face and how happy he was, we do not see | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
that a lot in school. It was such an amazing expense Finn to have. | :17:53. | :18:03. | |
:18:03. | :18:03. | ||
Awesome job! This fire falter -- fire fighter was teaching some of | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
the children American football. watch them come here and learn the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
game, something they are not used to, it shows a bit of time we had | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
together that every word you put in has paid off. If all of the | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
children went home and said, I have taken part in sport today and it | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
was a great day, that would be a job well done for us. So far, | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
20,000 children have come to these sports day and left with special | :18:31. | :18:41. | |
:18:41. | :18:43. | ||
Now what do you know about coral reefs? They are stunning to look at | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
and explore, but in some places they are being destroyed. Now | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
scientists in Essex hope a new aquarium will help them to find out | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
how to protect them. Bathed in warm water, a thriving | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
coral reef. But all is not what it seems. Because this reef is to be | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
found in a basement at the University of Essex. We have all of | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
the structures and biological features we find it a natural reef | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
in Indonesia. You can see from the different shapes, we have different | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
corals. Some are soft, some are Borders. This mimics the biological | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
and physical structure of a coral reef. Coral faces many threats, | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
among them, warming oceans and increased acidity caused by rising | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
carbon dioxide emissions. Researchers place coral sourced | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
from aquaria into quarantine then it's grown to a size suitable for a | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
range of trials. In this experimental set-up, we have the | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
ability to change all of the key variables that are important for | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
growth, such as nutrients, temperature, P Heat -- P H, light | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
intensity and quality. It is important enough -- to look at how | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
these things work together. teams can monitor the levels of | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
carbon dioxide in the water by minute degrees. By using his | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
computer monitoring equipment, they can tell exactly how the choral | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
response in real time. Coral is particularly susceptible | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
to change, but some species it seems cope better than others. | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
Actually, some of the species we know are sensitive, we found they | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
are growing in incredibly diverse environments, which are full of mud | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
and sediment. A choral's have been a bit -- ability to grow is wider | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
than we first thought. In a few days, the team is off to Indonesia | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
for two months of field work. The hope is the new aquarium will not | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
only help identify the threats coral faces, but come up with | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
solution to help onserve it. Think of the BBC's Springwatch | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
programme and you tend to imagine wildlife havens surrounded by miles | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
of rolling countryside. But not always - this week they are | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
in Essex showing how tonnes of rubbish dumped in landfill has | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
helped create some amazing habitats. 3,000 tonnes of rubbish a day is | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
dumped here at Pitsea. At 800 acres it's one of the largest landfill | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
sites in the region. But since it started in the 1970s it's also | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
:21:19. | :21:36. | ||
become rich in wildlife and bio- We have got the goals on the site | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
he coming to take the food and that is fantastic. In the night time, it | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
goes quiet and there is a completely different wildlife, like | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
badgers and foxes. There are birds as well. Some of the wildlife here | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
is clearly on show. Others take a bit of temptation to come out. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Springwatch presenter Liz Bonnin is spending a week at the site. | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
Tonight she's on the hunt for badgers. Badgers, look, badgers. | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
There. Yes, yes, yes. We cannot get good Bagehot footage on film. Here, | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
it is looking more promising because a particular part of the | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
landfill has the exact type of substrate that farmers alike. It is | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
from the 1940s and 1950s, fall of ceramics and ash. The landfill site | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
is to close in 2017. After five years of restoration it will become | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
an RSPB reserve. So while rubbish will be hidden, it's hoped the | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
wildlife will continue to thrive. And you can see more from Pitsea in | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Springwatch tonight at 8pm on BBC Two. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
They had a nickname. They were "the Best Damned Outfit in the US Air | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Force". And during the Second World War the skies over Northamptonshire | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
were full of B17s from the 401st Bombardment Group. | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
In 1945 one of the crews was shot down. But they survived and they | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
made an unusual pact. Today they were remembered in a special | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
ceremony. They were the crew of the B17 | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Bomber Lady Luck. And this is a story about an unusual and | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
:23:23. | :23:24. | ||
Shot down on a mission to bomb Berlin, the crew survived and after | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
the war they made a promise - each time one of them died, a last drink | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
would be taken from his commemorative tankard. The glass | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
bottom would then be smashed so no- one else could use it. It is a | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
ritual which has gone on for years but now the last remaining crew | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
member Tommy Parker as died. And today his widow Joan came back to | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
Deenethorpe to bury all the tankards in a time capsule. Nine | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
strangers met in a war and they just became family. This was the | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
last thing that they had all agreed to do when the last one passed away | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
and went to forever aloft as they called it, poor weather has all the | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
marks would then take them and bury them at the end of the runway. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
US flew B17 flying fortresses for nearly two years from this airfield | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
4 squadrons made up the 401st Bombardment Group. They flew 245 | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
missions in daylight against a heavily defended Germany and an | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:40. | ||
occupied Europe. It is a very poignant day today. It | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
was with on and sadness that I planted those marks in the ground. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
Somewhere up there, hopefully they are watching us. I am sure that | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
everyone here did them proud. know that they are all happy that | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
it finally came together. It took a while, but it finally came together. | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
I think they are happy. Jim Parker ending that report. | :25:08. | :25:18. | |

Let's get the weather now. I think Today was a warm summer's day, but | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
tomorrow will be different. We have low pressure over the Atlantic and | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
it has been pushing these fronts across. That will introduce some | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
cooler and unstable weather. It could produce some heavy showers | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
tomorrow. There was a lot more cloud around today, but we got some | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
sunshine as well. The thicker cloud in the West produced light showers | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
and it will continue to do so at this evening. It is mainly dry, but | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
some showers will linger. It is rather carry on the whole. -- | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
cloudy. Around dawn, this is our band of showery rain that will a | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
round. -- arrive. Temperatures will be staying very mild. The winds | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
will become westerly, generally light in strength. A different feel | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
to tomorrow, it will feel fresher and there will be some sharp | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
showers, particularly in the afternoon. For many of us, a damp | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
start to the day, particularly in the West with that band of rain | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
moving from west to east. It will clear and we will get sunshine, it | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
will brighten up a bit, but there we have got showers to contend with | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
after that. Temperatures will not be as high tomorrow, 18 degrees is | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
our high. Most areas will see between 15 and 17 up in the brain, | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
generally a moderate westerly. Through the afternoon, as it warms | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
up, the showers could get going and the quite shop in places. We could | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
even hear the odd role of thunder. There are still gaps in the cloud | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
and there will be some sunshine that will break through. For the | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
rest of the week, we have got another area of low pressure that | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
develops to our south-west. That will bring some wet weather into | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
Friday, but later in the day for Friday. The outlook: Potential for | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
some thundery showers tomorrow afternoon. Friday it starts dry and | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
bright with sunshine. Then we read that bats and -- rain arriving. It | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
will move steadily across the region. But to summarise the | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
weekend and the beginning of next week, to know with a mixture of | :27:28. | :27:33. |
