Hello, welcome to the programme. Anger as it is announced both of | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
our coastguard stations will close. I am 40 miles out to sea and | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
talking to a lady in Aberdeen or Southampton. It is absolutely crazy. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
More than 60 people convicted of burglary offences after a huge | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
undercover police operation. Three children in three different | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
schools because a line on a map goes through the middle of the | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
house. And the weather is not great, but | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
find out why these festival-goers have come to the Latitude festival | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:53. | ||
and swapped their swimming costumes Hello. First tonight, this region | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
has lost its local coastguard cover. Today's announcement by the | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Government means the stations at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk and | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Walton on the Naze in Essex will shut. All emergency calls will go | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
through Southampton, more than 170 miles away. But operating times at | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
the existing coastguard stations at Humber and Dover have been extended | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
so they will provide 24-hour cover. Our chief reporter Kim Riley is in | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
Great Yarmouth now. It stands on the Bank of the river, | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
the building behind me is Haven Bridge House and on the 4th floor | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
of the building is what they call the coastguard's Marine rescue co- | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
ordination Centre, responsible for the coastline between the Humber | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
and Southwold in Suffolk. The announcement this afternoon means | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
its days are numbered. As of today, coastguards here are | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
in the frontline when the alarm is raised. And they play a key role in | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
co-ordinating the local response. The independent Caister lifeboat, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
the fastest in the country, has a distinguished record of saving | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
lives at sea. Yet it wasn't consulted over a plan it says will | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
squander local knowledge. We were gutted, we are a local lifeboat, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
there our lives to be saved out there. It is incredible they will | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
close the only two coastguard stations in the east coast. It is | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
terrible. In Great Yarmouth town centre, anger that local station | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
which covers the coat from the Humber to Southwold is to close. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
something is needed on the seafront, we dial 999 and it is taking care | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
all from that end. I don't know how we will manage without one. It is a | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
seaside area, and if we will not have anything local, I think it is | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
an accident waiting to happen. nav is all very well, but it is not | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
like someone actually on the spot, is it? The Thames Coastguard | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
station at Walton on the Naze takes over responsibility south of | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Southwold. The staff union believes the reorganisation leaves a big gap. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
I understand the next coastguard station out will be Humber and then | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
south will be Dover. Dover coastguard cover the navigation and | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
are busy with shipping, so how it will work, there is too big a gap | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
in a big leisure industry area. Transport Secretary's announcement | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
that 11 round-the-clock centres would cover the UK are very | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
different from the original proposals. But despite the lobbying, | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
no reprieve for our stations. very disappointed by this decision. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
I think it is a bad decision, I think it is the wrong decision and | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
I am disappointed. I think local people have a right to be angry | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
about the decision. It is a bad news for us and the Essex coast. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
am disappointed we are not keeping a station in Great Yarmouth from | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
the point of view of jobs and the economy, but I understand the need | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
for modernisation. That side of it is difficult to argue. We will be | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
able to give people better career prospects, better career | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
progression, and better-paid within a service that will be more | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
resilient, more effective, and deliver a better and safer | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
coastguard provision for the public. The Labour opposition said the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
closures were driven by the desire to cut costs rather than safety on | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
the water. A devastating blow to coastguards, their families, and | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
the communities in which they were held in such respect. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
One more thing the government has done is announce a further 12 week | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
consultation period on these final proposals. I can tell you that the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
lease on the coastguard office space here runs out in 2013. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Tonight, it seems the clock is ticking. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
Thank you very much. Our political correspondent Andrew | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
Sinclair is here now. Is this just about saving money? | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
a degree, it is, because the government never fails to keep | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
telling us it has inherited a massive deficit and has to do | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
something about it, but this is also about modernising the service. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Coastguard stations have sprung up around the country on very | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
different basis, they have different equipment, and the | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
government believes that in these days of satellite mapping it should | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
be possible to run everything from a central control centre. These | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
proposals have come in for a lot of criticism. Has the government taken | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
notice of that? Yes, and we were expecting at least one station here | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
to stay open only a few weeks ago. It seems the main concerns from | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
this part of the world have been a loss of local knowledge, and the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
government will say, that is why we are keeping Humber and Dover open | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
24 hours a day, they will be staffed by people who used to work | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
in Yarmouth and Walton and have local knowledge. The government is | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
also saying, when we caught out search parties, they will be local | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
people. They think they have tackled the knowledge argument. But | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Douglas Carswell does category and Labour do not agree, either. One | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Labour MP has tonight said that many people, when they win the | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
coastguard, do not know where they are and describe what they are | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
looking. Will that work if you answer a call in Southampton? | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
nearly the end of the parliamentary session that we are awaiting a big | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
announcement it? It is about the future of the RAF Marham. The | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
latest news is that announcement will be made on Monday. Rumours are | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
that it will be saved, as well RAF Lossiemouth, so it will be | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
interesting to see what the small print is. Thank you very much. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
More than 60 people have been convicted of burglary offences | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
after an undercover operation by police lasting more than a year. 20 | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
of them, who burgled homes in Cambridge, have been jailed for a | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
total of nearly 50 years. This report from Jozef Hall. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Banged up, all of them. For years, they stole from homes | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
around Cambridge. Laptops, jewellery, bicycles. They thought | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
they were selling their stolen goods at a second hand shop. Little | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
did they know it was run by the police. To have over 60 people | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
arrested, to have 20 people sent to prison for a total of over 47 years, | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
and over 1,200 hours of community service, that is putting something | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
back into the community and has been nothing short of impressive. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Today it is a workshop for the computer repair business next door, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
but for seven months, Wardy's Wheels fooled everyone. We could | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
not believe when we found out what was going on, as they were police | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
and were very professional, but there were dodgy characters that | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
used to come. What kind of characters? Strange looking, not | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
what you would expect to come into the next Premises to use. Property | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
worth �125,000 was stolen during the operation between 2009 and 2010. | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
�85,000 worth has since been recovered, some consolation for | :07:49. | :07:59. | |
families like the Boses. We are about to leave for a long-planned | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
holiday and got a phone call whilst in the queue at that -- Gatwick | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Airport to say we had been burgled. We lost a lot of sentimental | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
possessions and we have got some of those back, which is good. Raids | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
took place around the city over a two-week period last September with | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
67 arrests. Justification, say the police, for the unusual tactics. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
The officers that are involved have all been appropriately trained and | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
clearly what they have done has to stand the rigour and scrutiny of | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
barristers and caughts, and to have 47 years' imprisonment, it says | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
they acted entirely properly and within the law. So far less than | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
half the stolen property recovered has been returned to its owners. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
A mother from Suffolk claims her daughter has been denied a school | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
place because of the thickness of a line drawn on a map. Kellie Nunn | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
says her home sits right on the boundary of the school's catchment | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
area, but the authority disagrees. So in September she will have to | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
take her four children to three different schools. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Mum of four Kellie Nunn has two daughters aged six and 10 who go to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
the Prime restore a round the corner in Hayesboro. Assuming she | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
was within the catchment, she thought four year old Demi would go | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
in September. But she did not get a place. The gentleman representing | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
Southwark council explain to me that the line that they drew around | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
the catchment area was too thick, so if it was thinner we would have | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
been out of the catchment area. He put her name one side of the line, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
but we if the other, so we are in the area really. He was just being | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
awkward. This is where she had Demi would go, Burton End Primary. With | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
a limit of 30 pupils per class, 60 places were on offer. A spokesman | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
said today the family had been turned down because they do not | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
live in catchment. Burton End had seen high demand, he added, and | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
some families who were in catchment also lost out. For Demi, come | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
September, it will be a different local primary and Bob Kellie it | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
will be non-stop running around. means my other children having to | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
be dropped off at school and Denmead starting half an hour late, | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
then being picked up half-an-hour early to pick up the others from | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
school. She will miss an hour every day of education and I do not think | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
that is fair. She accepts that ultimately a nine has to be drawn | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
somewhere, but it is the way that the line has been drawn which | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
rankles. Still to come tonight: | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
More details about the private company that will be running one of | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
our NHS hospitals. And our entertainment reporter Dawn | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
Gerber is at the Latitude festival. We ordered sunshine that have got | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
showers, but it has not stopped these fans and thousands more from | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
heading to the Latitude festival. Find out why they have braved the | :10:59. | :11:08. | |
A pilot project to employ disabled people at the Norfolk and Norwich | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Hospital could soon roll out across the country. Almost half the people | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
who are registered as disabled are out of work. So a Government | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
consultation is underway looking at how to give them the chance to get | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
a job. Rachel started training at the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
Norfolk and Norwich Hospital a year ago and is now a fully qualified | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
housekeeper, making the most of the opportunity. How has your life | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
changed since you had the job? Earning my own money, doing what I | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
want to do. What like? Going to football, having a season ticket. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Project search is a local initiative that seeks to train the | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
disabled within the workplace. At present, almost half of those | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
registered as disabled are without a job, something the government | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
wants to change. This week, the Sayce Review published its findings, | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
looking at how the government could improve the job prospects of those | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
with disabilities. It wants more schemes that focus attention on | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
individuals, enabling them to access jobs across the economy, not | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
just specialist work places. There is work to do on employers' | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
attitude as well to make sure they understand the value that disabled | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
people can bring to their businesses. More government support | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
for schemes like the one being run here would, of course, be welcome, | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
but some disability groups are sceptical about its motivations | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
with this reduce. My worry is that the government will not implement | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
the Sayce Review in its entirety, because of their obsession with the | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
private sector, and disabled people will be left to compete on an | :12:50. | :13:00. | |
:13:00. | :13:02. | ||
uneven playing field. A government Workers at British Sugar are having | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
a ballot on possible strike action. They rejected a pay offer of 3.5 % | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
because the union wanted a deal in line with inflation. Workers in | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
Great Yarmouth will also be asked to vote. The famous jam-making | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
company, Wilkin and Sons has put its house on display to the public. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
They had threatened to depart from this site it planning permission | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
was in -- refused. Local people are being asked their opinions. | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Pressure from one of our MPs has led to a Government crackdown on | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
online betting and offshore bookmaking. Matthew Hancock, who | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
includes Newmarket in his constituency said British | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
horseracing was losing out because gambling companies operating | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
offshore had not paid the gambling levy. Green space is being created | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
in Wisbech to commemorate the light of a famous resident. Octavia Hill | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
founded the National Trust. She did pioneering work to help the poor. A | :14:04. | :14:09. | |

reformer. She founded the National Trust, preserving property for the | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
country. She pioneered social work and the concept of housing | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
associations. She created parks for the urban poor, like this one, | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
created as a model. It was at the coalface of poverty. She showed | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
people how you could buy close management of communities and | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
taking an interest and caring about all communities, how it should be | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
accomplished. She showed people how to do it and it was adopted by | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
others. She died 100 years ago next year. A Centenary Garden is being | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
created in South Brink where she was born. The birthplace Museum | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
Trust is trying to raise �130,000 to transform this wasteland into a | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
peaceful urban area. There are more people in this country all the time. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
There is a big squeeze on development and residential housing | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
and facilities. Open space is a precious resource which is | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
dwindling. By transforming displays which does not look like much at | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
the moment, it will add to the enjoyment and quality of life for | :15:24. | :15:30. | |

Fund-raising begins in earnest before the garden opens next year. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |

plans to trust their Hinchingbrooke Hospital to a private company are | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
still... It will be the first in the country to be managed privately. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
A month after the contract was supposed to be signed, a building | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
has not been completed. It was revealed the hospital was a �38 | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
million in debt in 2008. In 2009 decisions were made to enhance the | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
running of the hospital to the private sector. Last year it was | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
announced that circle health would manage Hinchingbrooke Hospital. We | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
have been to an NHS treatment centre in Nottingham, with a | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
company that has managed it for the past three years. Up to 1,000 NHS | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
patients used this treatment centre. It was the biggest of its kind in | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Europe. But how did the stock feel when they switch from NHS | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
management to this company? It is only in the past few months that we | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
made the decision to depart from the NHS and it was a big decision | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
to make. But after a lot of thinking, I decide to come and work | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
here and I am very pleased. I just find that you have got more | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
autonomy in decision-making. Decisions do not go around from | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
meeting to meeting. Things happen a lot quicker. The culture appears to | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
be, yes we can do that rather than a culture that is about other NHS | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
places where problems are thrown out and not solved. Circle, because | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
of the management structure and the way they are working, things do get | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
sorted out and it is a positive culture. But when they took over, | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
this was a brand new facility with a clean slate. Hinchingbrooke | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Hospital is a traditional NHS hospital with a debt of almost �40 | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
million. How will they reduce that debt while maintaining services? | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
giving front line staff the ability, culture and environment to make | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
change themselves. They understand what their patients need and what | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
is required. They take waste out of the system and understand they can | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
make the decision there and then. They actually create an effective | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
and efficient system themselves. In doing that, because of delivery | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
comes down. Circle said in the first year of operation, | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
productivity improved by 20 %. It also said patient satisfaction is | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
up to 99 %. Unions claim these improvements have come at a cost. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
We understand the Department of Health are keen to make his | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
treatment centre work. As a result, it is costing be taxpayers of | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
Nottingham 37 % more to provide this treatment and it was costing | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
three years before when the treatment was provided. The NHS | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
says circle does receive more funding them the equivalent. But | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
they said that covers additional they said that covers additional | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
expenditure which would not have expenditure which would not have | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
been taken by the NHS, including building costs and direct taxation. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
Although this contract was signed by the Labour Party. It was praised | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
by Andrew Lansley Qamishli said he was impressed by the results. | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
Circle is hoping they will sign up the Hinchingbrooke Hospital deal | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
that later this month. By it might be July but it did not feel like | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
that. The top rugby teams are back in pre-season training. They would | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
have liked the weather today. The bet that pleas have joined forces | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
with the local rowing club to get Shape. They are used to running | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
around a rugby field, not messing about like this. Meet the toads, | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
badgers and moles of the Bedford pleased. In the middle of pre- | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
season training, a regime with a difference. This is bringing them | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
closer together and it is just a different environment. It is | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
different to the rugby pitch. warming up on the rowing machine, a | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
familiar ritual, getting into an eight-man boat was anything but. | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
They are more adept at driving than pulling. Rocking from side to side | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
and things like that. You are strapped in. You are a little bit | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
worried and it is a bit cold in there. If the boys are funny with | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
their hair. IU pressures? I am not pressures, now! What did you think | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
of them? Very strong but not very good it yet. Perhaps they will | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
improve. That is what you are drawing into. If you are going down | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
there, the blade will be down here. Did not scrape the bottom of the | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
river. Interesting but scary. It was quite interesting. It was quite | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
different and there was quite a lot of power in the boat back grip. | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
With technique like that, it is probably best left to be experts! | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
They look a very powerful. They have got leg muscles like us. Rock | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
hard. These Latitude Festival in Suffolk has started. More than | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
100,000 people are expected to turn up for the event. 300 acts are | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
performing. Be done with lots of people struggling to make ends meet. | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
-- many music festivals are sold out. It is only six years old. But | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
this festival has taken a big slice of the festival market. Even | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
today's conditions have not put people off from paying to come to | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
an arts festival instead of spending time abroad. Instead of | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:31. | ||
A plethora of axe. I prefer coming to Latitude because it is more | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
local to where I live and it is cheaper. A lot of our friends are | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
coming here as well, so it is so sure. It is less expensive than | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
anywhere else. Four days here is a good break, with lots of bands | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
playing. Some of the big festivals have sold out even though a weekend | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
camping pass cost over �150. Why are festivals like Latitude selling | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
so well in tough economic times? is a great way for all of the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
family to be together but not be on top of each other. They can do | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
their own thing. If you compare it to a holiday, and people do compare | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
it to a holiday, there is an awful lot here for three, four days. | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
year, it means top music, comedy, and hit dance shows. So while the | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
staycation seems to be continuing, festivals in the east are reaping | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
the financial rewards. At the Latitude festival, they have | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
recently signed a 15 year contract, so they are not expecting the | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
popularity of festival going to disappear any time soon. | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
Quite a few ats I would like to see, but the idea of camping in weather | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
Now the weather. If you are at Latitude tomorrow, | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
the weather will improve and there will be sunshine. It has been a | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
contrast depending on whether you were East or West today. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Temperatures in Norwich only got to 15 cells is, but in Bedford with | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
some sunshine in got to 22. -- 15 Celsius. Conditions around eastern | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
areas were cloudy with patchy rain. For tomorrow, it is fine and dry | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
for all of us, but after that we have an area of low pressure coming | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
in from the Atlanta, which will make conditions but for the weekend. | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
This is the scene on the satellite chart right now, still a lot of | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
cloud in the east, a lot of light rain which should soon clear, but | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
during the course of the night the cloud will generally thin and break | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
further east, allowing some clear intervals, and we could get the odd | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
mist patch forming. Temperatures falling to single figures under the | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
clear skies. The winds becoming more -- becoming generally night in | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
strength. If you are heading to Latitude, the best of the weather | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
is tomorrow, fine and dry with sunshine, but then wet weather on | :26:10. | :26:19. | |
Saturday and Sunday. For tomorrow, a fine, dry start, a lot of | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
sunshine for most of us, and the cloud does start to develop from | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
the West, so by the time it gets to lunch time, turning a bit more | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
cloudy. Temperatures at their best could get to 23 Celsius, maybe even | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
24 Celsius, and the wings much lighter for tomorrow, mainly a | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
light south-westerly. -- the winds. Tomorrow evening, generally getting | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
more cloudy from the West, brighter to the east. This is the pressure | :26:55. | :27:05. | |
:27:05. | :27:07. | ||
This weather system sweeping in from the Atlantic sets the scene | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
for a damp weekend. Some heavy rain arriving in the West through the | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
middle of the day, gradually heading towards the east. Blustery | :27:16. | :27:19. |
