Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: More than | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
4,000 police jobs are going across the region over the next four years. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
A doctor who shouldn't have been driving because of his poor | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
:00:25. | :00:27. | ||
eyesight is jailed for hitting and killing a grandmother. | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
:00:37. | :00:43. | ||
Later, I'll tell you about Dig For Hello. More than 4,200 police jobs | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
will be lost across the east over the next four years as part of the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
government's spending cuts. Officers, support staff, and | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
community officers will be affected. The figures come from Her Majesty's | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Inspector of Constabulary, and the report says our forces are facing | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
their biggest financial challenge in a generation. In a moment, what | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
:01:12. | :01:16. | ||
one chief constable has to say. There are three areas where our | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
eight local police forces expect to shed jobs by 2015. More than 1,600 | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
police officers will go. Around And there'll be almost 400 fewer | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
community support officers. Her Majesty's Inspector of | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Constabulary says forces will have to: "Transform their efficiency if | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
they are to protect front line services." It is a generational | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
challenge. The forces in the east are stepping up to that challenge | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
well. They are looking at how they can cut costs out of support | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
services, back office cuts, while It would be misleading to look at | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
bald figures. Let's look at what percentage each force will lose. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Civilians are taking over many roles formerly done by uniformed | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
officers, such as call handling, and scenes of crime. But thousands | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
will lose their jobs. Northamptonshire Police will lose | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
37% of its civilian police staff. Bedfordshire, around 10%. The key | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
question is, where will the biggest cuts in police officers be? | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Proportionately, Hertfordshire will lose most police officers, 15% by | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
2015. Cambridgeshire will have shed just 5%. One way to save money is | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
for police to work with other forces, and share resources. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
We have the opportunity to work collaboratively to reorganise the | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:49. | ||
way we deliver policing services much more effectively. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
A cut in police numbers does not automatically mean a rise in crime. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
There's no direct correlation between the two. Crime figures also | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
depend on so many other more complex factors. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Late this afternoon, when I spoke to the chief constable of Norfolk, | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
I wanted to know if the cuts would leave people feeling less safe. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
I hope not. We have got a plan which will deliver another 1.5% | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
reduction in crime and a similar reduction in social behaviour. We | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
will have to focus our resources carefully on the crimes that matter, | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
burglary, robbery, sexual and violent crime. When you reduce | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
police numbers, crimes against property increase, that does not | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
square. I would not necessarily make that direct comparison. I | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
think we will have to focus our resources on the crimes that matter. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
We have seen significant reductions in crime in Norfolk. If is that | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
recorded or actual crime? Recorded crime. Burglary, robbery, vehicle | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
crime. We have seen real crime reduction, 3.2% last year. We will | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
reduce again on that figure this year. A former chief constable said, | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
we are heading for Armageddon. would not choose that word. We have | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
some serious challenges, I am not naive. I do not think the public | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
are at either. We are working very hard to minimise the impact, | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
collaborating with Suffolk. We will have completely achieved during to | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
support, Fleet, back-office support. If you can manage now, does that | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
mean you had too many staff in the past? I do not think so, it means | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
we are finding new ways of policing and developing a model between | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
Norfolk and Suffolk to reduce the impact on the front line. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
This is about policing and a personal thing for those who will | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
lose their jobs. That is the tragedy. I have fantastic staff who | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
have given their professional lives to policing. We will part company | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
with some of them and it is difficult. A doctor, whose eyesight | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
was so bad he should not have been driving, has been given a two-year | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
prison sentence after he drove into and killed a pensioner. Aloke Basu | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
was driving his Porsche 911 in Southend when the accident happened. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Found guilty by a jury of causing death by dangerous driving, 66- | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
year-old Dr Basu arriving with his wife at Basildon Crown court for | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
sentence. He had cataracts in both eyes and glaucoma, but hadn't, as | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
advised, reported his eyesight problems to the DVLA. Many | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
supporters were in court. A 600 signature petition called for | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
leniency. In February last year, Dr Basu was driving his Porsche along | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
this busy dual carriageway in Southend. Conditions and visibility | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
were good. But he didn't see 74- year-old Shirley Watkins crossing | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
the road ahead of him. The Porsche ploughed into her, throwing her | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
into the air. She died instantly from multiple injuries. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
The doctor wept as the defence described him as a broken man who | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
could go no lower, he had lost his career, suffering clinical | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
depression. He would continue to serve his own personal life | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
sentence. The judge said the level of public support for the doctor | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
had been truly extraordinary. And in not informing the DVLA of his | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
failing eyesight, he had arrogantly assumed he knew best. Dr Basu had | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
worked at this health centre in Shoeburyness for more than 30 years. | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
Many patients signed the petition at the next door pharmacy. I have | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
worked with him for 30 years and I know he is hiding respected for | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
what he has done for people. He has a genuine interest in the people he | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
served. Shirley Watkins's relatives were in court to hear the two-year | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
sentence handed down. And for a man with a previously unblemished | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
driving record, a disqualification for life. It was a good verdict. | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Nobody wanted to be here. We have seen justice and we feel sorry for | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
everyone involved. Everybody. police said they hoped people would | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
learn lessons from the tragedy, as this well respected doctor is | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
The police in Venezuela say they think they know who shot dead a | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
holidaymaker from Bedfordshire. Thomas Ossel was killed in a | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
robbery at his hostel on Margarita Island, and his brother Jack was | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
stabbed. Local police say they're looking for a known robber on the | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
island. One of a kind. Loved by so many. | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
Charming, funny and brave. Tributes to fireman Tom Ossel. Hundreds of | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
messages from friends, posted on the web. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
press reports say police have a prime suspect for his murder. | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
The local press on the island of Margarita are reporting that the | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
police know who is behind this crime, that it is a person, they | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
haven't named him, but who leads a gang of criminals who often rob | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
houses or hotels in this area of the island. And has been known to | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
police for some years. Witnesses say robbers went from room to room, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
before Tom and his brother Jack put up a fight. It's thought the | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
brothers believed the gun their attackers carried was a fake. Tom | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Ossel died after being shot in the jaw. Jack Ossel is now out of | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
hospital after being stabbed in the back. Their father has flown out to | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
bring his son's body home. Alistair Burt is the local MP for | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
the Ossel family in Bedfordshire. He's also a Foreign Office Minister. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Earlier, I asked him what he'd been able to learn about the incident | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
from the Venezuelan authorities. I spoke yesterday to a deputy head | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
of mission in Venezuela to get some information about the circumstances | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
of what had happened. I have been able to talk to him about what we | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
can do in terms of liaising with the Venezuelan authorities. It is | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
clear they take the matter extremely seriously and we will do | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
anything we can to assist the investigation and we hope that the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
perpetrators are brought to justice. You say they take the matter | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
extremely seriously. Our correspondent tells us there are 40 | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
murders a week in the capital alone. How can you be sure they will give | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
this case priority? This did not happen in Caracas but in a tourist | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
resort. Clearly, the reputation of tourist resorts matters to any | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
country. As does the general level of violence. We are assured the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
authorities will take the matter extremely seriously and, so far, | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
every indication we have from the way they have reacted is they are | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
horrified by the instant and will do everything they can. We have | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
heard four tourists have died in Margarita in the last year. What | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
warnings does the Foreign Office give to British travellers going to | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
that part of the world? We have travel advice available to people | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
who go abroad to any particular country. Plainly, it worries us | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
went there is any degree of violence particularly perpetrated | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
towards the tourists. But you cannot always guard against these | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
terrible attacks. We give as full information as we can. This is a | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
desperate incident, it is tragic that it has happened to end local | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
family, tragic it happened in those circumstances, an attack and | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
robbery and subsequent murder. We will do everything we can to make | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
sure British tourists are aware of the risks. They must will make | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
their own judgments on where to go. A horrendous situation for the | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
family. What help are you giving them? In these circumstances, it is | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
important people know as much as possible. Whenever we get any new | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
information, we will pass it on. And that the family know who to | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
turn to hear so that they can find information. The other form of | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
support and help comes through local police liaison to look after | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
the family. And a recognition that the privacy of a family in these | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
circumstances really matters. in the programme: What we're doing | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
here to help people caught up in the famine in Somalia. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
And, with the Open still fresh in the memory, we're at the biggest | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
golf tournament in the region. come up 160 of Europe's top golfers | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
:12:08. | :12:09. | ||
are playing. We all have more after Response times for ambulances in | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
Norfolk must improve, according to the MP Norman Lamb. Figures show | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
the service achieved its target time of eight minutes for | :12:17. | :12:27. | |
:12:27. | :12:32. | ||
emergencies in only half the calls The speed of the response can | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
literally mean the difference between life and death. That is why | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
Norman Lamb, the MP for North Norfolk, is campaigning for those | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
times to get dramatically faster. They are shocking, and we have to | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
demand that the ambulance Trust improves the performance in Norfolk. | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
That means providing an extra resource, more staff, more vehicles, | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
serving our reward areas. The Trust requires ambience to reach 75% of | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
calls within eight minutes. Recent figures showed Essex hit 76%, | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
suffered 70%, Norfolk 69%, but North Norfolk only 53% of the | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
target time. The East of England ambulance service says rural areas | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
such as North Norfolk always present them with unique challenges. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
But it has recently made a number of improvements. We have bought on | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
six additional rapid response cars some 24 hours a day, seven days a | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
week, and we are putting on some extra additional staff as bike | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
responders. Those improvements are expected to be completed by next | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
month. A controversial waste incinerator | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
is to be built near Ipswich. Suffolk County Council finally gave | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
planning permission for the plant at great Blakenham today. The | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
project will generate power, and was opposed by Lib Dem councillors. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
Supporters say it is needed to stop waste going to landfill. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
There are fears that victims of domestic violence in Essex could be | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
at risk because of spending cuts. Some organisations and refuges | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
could lose almost a quarter of their funding. Support groups say | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
it will affect helplines and shelters. The county signs -- the | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
County Council says savings must be made. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
Speed cameras in Suffolk are being switched on again just weeks after | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
they were turned off. The County Council withdrew funding in the | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
spring, but the cameras could now be back in operation within days. | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
After the big switch off, almost in a flash the cameras look like they | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
are back in business, until September at least. It is all | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
depended on the outcome of a meeting of the police authority. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Its chairman believes they can come up with a plan and a funding to | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
keep them operating in the future. Our evidence shows that since | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
cameras went in, accidents where people are killed or seriously | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
injured have probably dropped 70%. We can have no idea of the number | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
of accidents that might have been prevented. In Norfolk and Essex, | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
cameras are operating as normal, and a rethink in Suffolk say -- | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
officials say it will give them time to determine how effective | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
they are. They are also seek to keen to seek the opinions of | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
communities, like those in Coddenham. Many think the camera | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
has made a blackspot safer. They find money for some things. I think | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
this is an important thing. It does still people down on that junction, | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
which is necessary, I think. This issue will be debated by Suffolk's | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Police Authority tomorrow. The key question - despite all the pressure | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
on budgets, when it comes to road safety, can you do without these as | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
a deterrent? A woman who was questioned over the | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
death of a man in Suffolk will not be facing charges. The 22-year-old | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
was arrested in Honington after the man, Leslie Metcalfe, was fine with | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
a stab wound to the heart. The Crown Prosecution Service says the | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
woman should not be charged. Inspectors have uncovered more | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
problems at Basildon Hospital. They say there was shortfalls in | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
recording the wishes of patients over whether to be resuscitated. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
But there issue -- the hospital says the issue has been addressed. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
The Care Quality Commission raised the issue. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Parents and pupils at a Catholic middle school in Paris and Edmans | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
have marched through the time to oppose its closure. Suffolk County | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Council says it has no other choice because it is getting rid of middle | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
schools to move to a two-tier system. | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
High-jinks for the last week of term at St Louis Middle School. But | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
behind the fund, there is sadness and frustration. This week those | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
emotions were made clear, as around 150 patients and pupils marched in | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
protest at the school's planned closure. They cancel plan for | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
schools, St Louis Middle School, a school which had an outstanding | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
Ofsted last year, is due to close. We think there has to be a better | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
way than closing the school. council does not agree. For the | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
past five years, it has been phasing out primary, middle and | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
upper schools and replacing them with junior and secondary schools, | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
bringing them into line with Essex and Norfolk. Under the old system | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
children changed schools at nine and 13. Under the new one, they | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
require only one change at age 11. The theory is best change, less | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
disruption, better results. What it will mean is in each year, probably | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
hundreds of schoolchildren leaving at 16 with better GCSE grades. That | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
is what you need when you are going into employment or higher education. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
This week, St Louis Middle School celebrate its 40th birthday. It is | :18:27. | :18:37. | |
:18:37. | :18:42. | ||
highly unlikely it will see its Charities in this region say they | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
are already working at full stretch to help people hit by famine in | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
Somalia. Refugees are already living here, but some local | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
charities say the money is needed to help people living in the Horn | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
of Africa. You would have to make a donation? With almost half the | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Somali population facing severe food shortage, help is needed fast. | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
At World Vision's headquarters in Milton Keynes, staff are desperate | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
to provide it. There are people moving out of Somalia. Conditions | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
are that desperate, they are selling off their cattle, families | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
are getting separated. The aim is to find food for the day, and that | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
is the basic conditions. Children are dying. These people have left | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
the south, and have fallen prey to drought and violence at the hands | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
of the al-Shabaab Militia. The Somalis in our region do not have | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
:19:53. | :19:54. | ||
it easy either. My brothers, my sister, my father, also my mother, | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
mostly my family, they are now in Somalia. It is really sad. When I | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
:20:12. | :20:14. | ||
see the television, I feel that... I cannot really explain my emotions. | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
I do not... It is sad really. agencies across the world have been | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
told they can return to Somalia or, having been thrown out last year. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
But until they know it is safe, and whether the aid will reach those | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
who need it, the collecting will continue at full pace. | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
160 of the top golfers in Europe are at Stoke By Nayland in Suffolk | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
this weekend for the English Challenge. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
It is one of only three professional tournaments including | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
the Open to be held in England, and a local player is leading the way. | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
Taking aim - Jamie Moul, and today the Stoke By Nayland golfer rarely | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
missed. The English Challenge did not prove too troublesome, as a | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
shot after shot pet bird to the pin, with the putter he was deadly. -- | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
shot after shot peppered the pain. Good solid shot onto the front of | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
the green, Jamie is eight under par. One more birdie for a new course | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
record. He did not manage it, but nine birdies in a round of 64 | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
equalled it. I played really nicely today. It would be great to get a | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
second win, it would be fantastic, and to give something back to the | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
members and everyone here who has supported me. Jamie, at 26, is | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
entering his prime. He won in Italy last year, but this year he wants | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
to earn a spot on the main European Tour. English Golf is riding high, | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
boasting numbers 1 and 2 in the world. Tom Lewis is the latest to | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
burst onto the stage. We have a coaching structure was comes | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
through the counties to the national level. That has been | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
feeding through from a long time, and a lot of good quality coaches | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
and hard-working volunteers. If it goes over, five points... But this | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
week is not just about the pros. Participation in schools has | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
travelled from 14 to 40% in seven years. They work on a seven minute | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
cycle. It is all about fun and creating an interest in the game of | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
golf which can be seen as boring. Back to the serious business, and | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
at 25,000 first euros prize. With the pressure mounting, Jamie aims | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
to keep rolling them in. I played with Jamie yesterday, he | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
is lovely. What is your idea of a great day | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
out? How about digging holes in a field of mud? | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
My daughter would love that! The BBC is encourage Ping people to get | :23:12. | :23:16. | |

money? Yes, about �20. They have had some nice finds, some gold | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
coins and a beautiful torque. I thought I would find something | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
similar. This is the gateway of his large Enclosure. Anyone over the | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
age of six candid it is free but you do not -- you need to book. It | :24:31. | :24:38. | |

website. It is a valuable find! I do not find any gold, but I found a | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
little piece of flint which is probably worth millions! | :25:08. | :25:18. | |

showery, cool conditions. We have got high pressure waiting to give | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
us-whether -- but today we had a weather front. There are few | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
showers still a round. They will fade this evening, but for the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
first part of the night they might linger in Essex and Suffolk. For | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
most of us it is a dry night. Clearer skies towards the end of | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
the night, bringing temperatures into single figures, 48 Fahrenheit, | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
nine Celsius. The winds are light in land, north to north-westerly, | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
just a touch breezy around the Norfolk and Suffolk coast line. 13 | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
degrees. For tomorrow, it will be a day of sunny intervals. Isolated | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
showers, much lighter tomorrow and not as widespread. A fine start for | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
many of us across the region. As the temperatures rise, but cloud | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
will bring us one or two isolated showers. But in the sunshine, we | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
should see 20 Celsius, 68 Fahrenheit. The winds mainly light, | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
a bit of an onshore breeze around the Norfolk coast line holding the | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
temperatures down around 17 degrees. Through the afternoon, a further | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
risk of showers, a good scattering across the afternoon. Now, for the | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
weekend, we have high pressure taking charge of things, but also | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
this era of low pressure. It sinks southwards, it is just off their | :27:04. | :27:08. | |

a cloudy note. The further east, the more likely you are to get rain. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Sunday, still the chance of an isolated shower. Next week, | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
temperatures warming up. It will be quite breezy over the weekend. In | :27:23. | :27:31. |
