The killer who works indiscriminately, destroying

:00:04.:00:14.

thousands of lives every year. In Look East tonight: why deaths

:00:14.:00:19.

from asbestos are continuing to rise years after it was banned.

:00:19.:00:23.

This man died last Christmas, aged just 48. He was about 13 stone, and

:00:23.:00:26.

went down to eight stone in just a few months.

:00:26.:00:28.

Hello and welcome to the programme. Also tonight:

:00:28.:00:32.

The most expensive company you've probably never heard of. Why

:00:32.:00:35.

Autonomy of Cambridge is worth billions.

:00:35.:00:38.

On the streets to "save our fields" - the residents protesting in

:00:38.:00:42.

Basildon. And if you're tired of lugging your

:00:43.:00:47.

tent and camping gear to music festivals, how about one of these?

:00:47.:00:57.
:00:57.:01:01.

Stay tuned, and I'll have all the First tonight, why hundreds of

:01:01.:01:05.

people in our region are dying from a cancer caused by asbestos, and

:01:05.:01:10.

why that death toll will continue to rise. In the frontline -

:01:10.:01:13.

builders and carpenters who worked with the killer material until it

:01:13.:01:18.

was finally banned in 1999. Also affected, many wives and partners,

:01:18.:01:22.

because they inhaled the dust as they washed the clothes. And

:01:22.:01:25.

figures compiled by Look East show how the number of people dying in

:01:26.:01:30.

our region has grown in recent years. It will probably continue

:01:30.:01:35.

rising. These numbers for 2010 show the hotspots. In Essex, 115 people

:01:36.:01:45.
:01:46.:01:52.

died last year. In Norfolk, 53 died. Two years ago, Derek was given only

:01:52.:01:57.

five years to live. He is a carpenter, and inhaled asbestos.

:01:57.:02:07.
:02:07.:02:08.

am angry that I had been using it. A little bit of it was disbelief,

:02:08.:02:12.

denial. There are different stages you go through when you are told

:02:12.:02:15.

you have cancer. A asbestos has been used in building materials

:02:16.:02:22.

since the 1950s, but it's dust can cause a landing along the long

:02:22.:02:25.

called mesothelioma, and deaths from it are at an all-time high.

:02:25.:02:29.

The figures have continued to increase over recent years, which

:02:29.:02:33.

reflects occupational exposures that occurred many years ago,

:02:33.:02:37.

because there is a long time lag between exposure in most cases and

:02:37.:02:41.

the onset of the disease. Her last year in Essex, inquests were hurled

:02:41.:02:45.

into the deaths of more than 100 people with industrial disease.

:02:45.:02:49.

Virtually all of them had been exposed to asbestos. In an inquest

:02:49.:02:53.

how he into the death of 77-year- old Patricia Colette, the coroner

:02:53.:02:57.

heard how she had been exposed to asbestos while working as a

:02:57.:03:01.

seamstress. She also watched her husband's clothes after he came

:03:01.:03:04.

home from working on demolition sites. That is just one example of

:03:04.:03:10.

how something that was supposed to be a wonder building material has

:03:10.:03:15.

turned into a killer. The killer who works indiscriminately,

:03:15.:03:22.

destroying thousands of lives every year. Another of his victims, Tom's

:03:22.:03:26.

so well. He worked with asbestos as an apprentice. This photo was taken

:03:26.:03:30.

last Christmas a couple of weeks before he died. Doctors told him he

:03:30.:03:34.

was exceptionally young to be diagnosed with mesothelioma. His

:03:34.:03:41.

family lost him at just 48. It he lost an incredible amount of weight.

:03:41.:03:45.

He was about 13 stone, and he went down to eight stone in just a few

:03:45.:03:53.

months. It is shocking, really. And he had problems with breathing. And

:03:53.:03:57.

also the mental torment of it was horrific for him as well, just

:03:57.:04:01.

being Serie gang and knowing that you will not spend the rest of your

:04:01.:04:05.

life with your family. How much do you miss him as a family?

:04:05.:04:10.

Desperately miss him, because he was a big part of our lives. It has

:04:10.:04:14.

been awful. The Health and Safety Executive expect deaths from

:04:14.:04:18.

mesothelioma to rise for the next five years. They are continuing to

:04:18.:04:25.

warn people about asbestos. It was used extensively all the way up

:04:25.:04:32.

until 1999, when it was finally banned. So we have quite a stock of

:04:32.:04:36.

buildings which have asbestos containing materials. Derek Reeve

:04:36.:04:40.

hopes the continued warnings about asbestos are he did so that others

:04:40.:04:46.

do not suffer. Some days, you get very depressed. You have not got

:04:46.:04:50.

long, and it is like an egg timer running out. That there is every

:04:50.:04:53.

indication that this killer will still be with us for some time to

:04:53.:04:58.

come. Earlier, I spoke to Dr Mark Slade,

:04:58.:05:01.

a consultant at Papworth Hospital near Cambridge. It is one of the

:05:01.:05:04.

leading hospitals in the country for dealing with mesothelioma. I

:05:04.:05:13.

started by asking him what effect asbestos had on the body. Asbestos

:05:13.:05:19.

is harmful because it is a rock at Kerrin in very sharp fibres. So

:05:19.:05:25.

when it is breathed in as these microscopic fibres, they can work

:05:25.:05:30.

their way through the tissues in the lungs, so you get long-standing

:05:30.:05:34.

inflammation, particularly in the lining of the ribcage. That can go

:05:34.:05:41.

on for many years or decades, and lead to different diseases,

:05:41.:05:48.

particularly in the lining of the rib cage. The worst of these is

:05:48.:05:55.

manga mesothelioma, a cancer of the lung lining, which typically has an

:05:55.:06:00.

on set period of 30 to 50 years after exposure. If people who have

:06:00.:06:05.

been in contact with asbestos many years ago sought treatment earlier,

:06:05.:06:10.

could things like mesothelioma be prevented? We do not think so,

:06:10.:06:14.

because there is no known prevention, unfortunately. Once the

:06:14.:06:18.

fibres are in there, they are distributed microscopically through

:06:18.:06:22.

the lining of the ribcage and there would not be any way of getting

:06:22.:06:29.

them out again. We do not know of any agent or drug that could

:06:29.:06:31.

prevent that long-standing information from leading eventually

:06:31.:06:37.

to mesothelioma. In a small proportion of patients. I know that

:06:37.:06:41.

there is a special trial going on at Papworth Hospital is involved

:06:42.:06:45.

with, and innovative surgical approach to mesothelioma. Can you

:06:45.:06:51.

tell us about that? Yes, that is keyhole surgery on the chest cavity.

:06:51.:06:56.

The trial is exploring whether doing an operation to remove as

:06:56.:06:59.

much of the tumour as possible at the beginning of the patient's

:06:59.:07:05.

treatment will improve the outcome. Sadly, there is no surgical cure

:07:05.:07:12.

for mesothelioma. Do but we believe that if one removes as much as one

:07:12.:07:17.

can, that will help people to have better symptoms and to live longer

:07:17.:07:21.

than they would if you simply treated them with other treatments

:07:21.:07:27.

like chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone.

:07:27.:07:31.

And if you or your family have been affected by asbestos, we would be

:07:31.:07:34.

keen to hear your story. You can call us or e-mail us in the usual

:07:34.:07:36.

way. A high-tech company from Cambridge

:07:36.:07:39.

is about to be sold for an amazing �7 billion. More details on the

:07:39.:07:44.

deal in a moment. But first, a bit about the man behind Autonomy. They

:07:44.:07:47.

call him Britain's Bill Gates, but everything about Mike Lynch is East

:07:47.:07:53.

Anglian. He lives in rural Suffolk. He grew up in Chelmsford, where his

:07:53.:07:56.

father was a fireman, his mother a nurse. He studied engineering at

:07:56.:08:00.

Cambridge University, and founded Autonomy in 1996 with a �2,000 loan.

:08:00.:08:10.
:08:10.:08:11.

But now Hewlett-Packard have agreed to pay an awful lot more.

:08:11.:08:16.

Grey window frames, a box on a business park. This is Britain's

:08:16.:08:20.

Police software company. Its sale, the second-largest in software

:08:20.:08:27.

history, a massive �7.1 billion. Mike Lynch founded it. When you

:08:27.:08:31.

have the kind of people you can find in this part of the world,

:08:31.:08:34.

incredibly creative and innovative people, give them the technology,

:08:35.:08:38.

and they start creating more. You can create a world-class thing.

:08:38.:08:44.

Last year, the Duke of York visited here. Then and now, a time of tough

:08:44.:08:52.

all started. But Autonomy has seen huge profits. Computers here design

:08:52.:08:56.

software so that computers can understand things like

:08:56.:09:00.

conversations, television, read e- mails, read Facebook, even

:09:00.:09:04.

understand tweets. Hewlett Packard is a world giant in computing and

:09:04.:09:09.

hardware. In the takeover, Mike Lynch will make half a billion,

:09:09.:09:13.

�500 million, becoming one of Britain's wealthiest men. Staff

:09:13.:09:17.

will share profits of �30 million, but what does this mean for the

:09:17.:09:22.

company and for Cambridge, home of hi-tech by a tech industry? HPA is

:09:23.:09:27.

largely a hardware business. It is buying in software expertise to

:09:27.:09:31.

create a whole new business. The management and R'n'B are staying

:09:32.:09:39.

here. The influence in HP is coming out of here. So this is very good

:09:39.:09:44.

news for Cambridge and the UK. name Autonomy will stay, along with

:09:44.:09:49.

its boss. As our biggest software company is now a small part of

:09:49.:09:54.

something much bigger. A teenager has appeared in court

:09:54.:09:56.

accused of inciting a riot in Northampton. Aidan Curwen was

:09:56.:10:06.
:10:06.:10:07.

remanded in custody. Today 18-year-old Aidan Curwen from

:10:07.:10:11.

Northampton appeared here for his first crown court hearing. He is

:10:11.:10:15.

charged with using an instant messaging service to incite a riot.

:10:15.:10:19.

On 9th August, Aidan Curwen is accused of using the BlackBerry

:10:19.:10:25.

messaging service on his phone to send messages to 147 people. The

:10:25.:10:28.

Crown Prosecution Service say those messages had the ability to

:10:28.:10:33.

encourage or assist a riot. Today Judge Farrer ordered Aidan Curwen

:10:33.:10:37.

to return here on 21st October, when he will get the chance to

:10:37.:10:41.

enter a plea. In the meantime, his defence team applied for bail, but

:10:41.:10:48.

the application was refused. In Milton Keynes, another teenager, a

:10:48.:10:51.

16-year-old boy who we are not allowed to named for legal reasons,

:10:51.:10:55.

appeared before magistrates charged with public disorder. The boys

:10:55.:10:58.

accused of violent disorder, shoplifting and criminal damage,

:10:59.:11:04.

which is alleged to have taken place in Bletchley on 9th August.

:11:04.:11:07.

He has also been remanded in custody at a young offenders'

:11:07.:11:11.

centre. He will appear before the youth court in until the teams on

:11:11.:11:14.

23rd August. Later in the programme, all the

:11:14.:11:16.

details of this weekend's football matches.

:11:16.:11:19.

And don't fancy camping at the V Festival this weekend? How about a

:11:19.:11:29.
:11:29.:11:34.

An MP has called on Essex County Council to take direct control of a

:11:34.:11:38.

care home following the death of a second resident. Robert Halfon says

:11:38.:11:41.

it's vital that no more lives are put at risk at the Partridge Care

:11:41.:11:51.
:11:51.:11:51.

Centre in Harlow. Our chief reporter is in Harlow now.

:11:51.:11:56.

It began a fortnight ago, when three residents were admitted to

:11:56.:12:00.

the Princess Alexandra hospital with diabetes related problems. And

:12:00.:12:05.

89-year-old woman died just three days later. The post-mortem is

:12:05.:12:09.

inconclusive. Last night, and 80- year-old woman died. That leaves an

:12:09.:12:12.

elderly gentleman still in the hospital in a serious but stable

:12:12.:12:16.

condition. Police investigations have focused on the way medicines

:12:16.:12:22.

are given out to the relatives, but they say at the moment, the deaths

:12:22.:12:27.

are being treated as unexplained. A 36-year-old woman arrested as part

:12:27.:12:30.

of the police inquiry has been released on bail.

:12:30.:12:37.

What can you tell us about the home itself? It is quite smart. It is

:12:37.:12:41.

purpose-built and run by rushed if Care Ltd, which cares for elderly

:12:41.:12:46.

people with conditions like dementia. In March, the Quality

:12:46.:12:48.

Care Commission inspected it and found seven essential standards

:12:48.:12:53.

were not being met. Today, the local MP has effectively put more

:12:53.:12:57.

pressure on Essex County Council to take direct control of the home so

:12:57.:13:01.

that no more lives are at risk, in his words. In a statement issued a

:13:01.:13:04.

couple of hours ago, Essex County Council confirmed that it had

:13:04.:13:10.

stopped placing people at this home and put intensive support into it,

:13:10.:13:13.

working with staff on an action plan to raise the quality of care.

:13:13.:13:17.

It says safeguarding our most vulnerable is our priority. It says

:13:17.:13:22.

the majority of residents wish to stay on here, but those that wish

:13:22.:13:26.

to move, it will support and encourage to get into alternative

:13:26.:13:28.

accommodation. The UK's leading dementia charity

:13:28.:13:31.

is giving Cambridge University three quarters of a million pounds

:13:31.:13:33.

for research. It'll pay for four projects looking into new

:13:33.:13:36.

treatments. There are more than 800,000 people with dementia in the

:13:36.:13:42.

UK. There's no cure, and drugs can only alleviate the symptoms. An

:13:42.:13:45.

animal sanctuary in Felixstowe which last year was threatened with

:13:45.:13:49.

closure has submitted plans for a bigger new site. Thousands of

:13:49.:13:52.

people signed a petition to save the Blue Cross centre after the

:13:52.:13:56.

charity said it wanted to close it because it was outdated.

:13:56.:13:59.

Residents from across Basildon staged a demonstration in the town

:13:59.:14:03.

centre today. They were protesting at plans to sell off local playing

:14:03.:14:13.
:14:13.:14:14.

fields to help pay for a new sports centre.

:14:14.:14:20.

Save our fields! A noisy protest at the Kent new Recreation Ground. The

:14:21.:14:25.

council wants to sell off this field to make way for a new housing

:14:25.:14:30.

development. We feel totally outraged that this administration

:14:30.:14:34.

have stooped so low that they have to develop and sell off children's

:14:34.:14:39.

playing fields. We play football, rounders, have picnics, walked dogs

:14:39.:14:45.

and play. If they take that away, where would we go? The council has

:14:45.:14:50.

built this new �38 million sports centre across town, and needs money

:14:50.:14:54.

to help pay for it. No one from the council was available for interview

:14:54.:14:58.

today, but in a statement, the leader of the council says, in

:14:58.:15:02.

these tough economic times, Basildon council has made the

:15:02.:15:05.

decision to invest in facilities for the good of the whole borough.

:15:05.:15:10.

There is a planned development at Gloucester Park as well, and

:15:10.:15:14.

protesters also marched from there. The old swimming pool has come to

:15:14.:15:18.

the use -- end of his life, so they need to pay for the new one. Yes,

:15:18.:15:25.

but there are other ways to fund this. Why can't they save our part?

:15:25.:15:32.

It is terrible. At the council offices, the protesters made their

:15:32.:15:37.

views known loud and clear. But for now, the council appears unwilling

:15:37.:15:43.

to change its plans. The owners of Old Buckenham Airfield in Norfolk

:15:43.:15:49.

say its future has been secured. There's been an airshow at Old

:15:49.:15:52.

Buckenham for more than ten years, but this year it was cancelled for

:15:52.:15:55.

lack of sponsorship and advertising. The owners say they've now brought

:15:55.:15:58.

more business in with the help of volunteers. Offices and a new

:15:58.:16:00.

business park have been opened. James Stewart and Walter Matthau

:16:00.:16:05.

were both based at Old Buckenham during the war.

:16:06.:16:08.

Their song is one of the traditional sounds of spring, but

:16:08.:16:12.

each year, fewer and fewer cuckoos are returning to Britain. To try to

:16:12.:16:14.

find out why, researchers in Norfolk fitted five birds with

:16:14.:16:18.

satellite tags. If they find out where they go, they hope they might

:16:18.:16:26.

be able to help them come back. It all began with this stuffed

:16:26.:16:32.

cuckoo. This team of researchers used the fake female as a lure to

:16:32.:16:36.

attract and catch male cuckoos. The five birds they managed to catch

:16:36.:16:40.

are now wearing these tiny satellite tracker backpacks. These

:16:41.:16:44.

allow the team to follow the birds on their migration to Africa. The

:16:44.:16:50.

aim is to find out why each year, fewer cuckoos return to Britain.

:16:50.:16:55.

One of the cuckoos was tagged right here on this beautiful nature

:16:55.:16:59.

reserve in Norfolk. But he spent just two months here before setting

:16:59.:17:03.

off for Africa, which is where he and the other four birds will spend

:17:03.:17:07.

the winter. The tags have revealed for the first time exactly where

:17:07.:17:13.

they go on that long journey south. The cuckoo tag on that reserve,

:17:13.:17:17.

named Clement, was the first to set off. After flying to France, he

:17:17.:17:22.

took a westerly route around the Mediterranean to Spain and landed

:17:22.:17:28.

in Africa in July. He has now safely crossed the Sahara and ended

:17:28.:17:33.

in southern Burkina Faso. The other birds were not far behind. Because

:17:33.:17:36.

spring in Britain and Europe as a whole is warming up, they need to

:17:36.:17:41.

get back earlier. Without knowing where they are spending the winter,

:17:42.:17:45.

autumn and spring, we cannot work out where the bottlenecks are which

:17:45.:17:50.

might be limited when they can get back to last. The study could help

:17:50.:18:00.
:18:00.:18:04.

conserve the bird that brings with it the defining sound of spring.

:18:04.:18:07.

Sport now, and there's another busy weekend ahead for our football

:18:07.:18:08.

weekend ahead for our football teams. Among the highlights, a

:18:08.:18:14.

regional derby between Peterborough Here's Tom.

:18:14.:18:17.

Starting with news from Ipswich, Paul Jewell says he hasn't given up

:18:17.:18:21.

hope of re-signing this man, Jimmy Bullard. The midfielder enjoyed a

:18:22.:18:24.

successful loan spell last season and spoke to the manager yesterday

:18:24.:18:26.

about a possible return. Onto Saturday's teatime game against

:18:27.:18:29.

Peterborough. Posh have demonstrated real resilience so far.

:18:29.:18:36.

Encouraging signs on their Championship return.

:18:36.:18:41.

All managers wish they were still playing the game, but it is the

:18:41.:18:44.

dug-out for Peterborough's Darren Ferguson tomorrow. His squad is

:18:44.:18:48.

much younger than Ipswich's, and their game plan is high energy,

:18:48.:18:52.

high tempo. We are a fit bunch, so we have to use that to our

:18:52.:18:58.

advantage. Ipswich have endured a rotten week, sinners against the

:18:58.:19:02.

Saints. Questions remain about their defence. No new players

:19:02.:19:07.

signed yet, but Paul Jewell is back in talks with Jimmy bollard.

:19:07.:19:13.

knows the set up here. He knows how we work. All the players and fans

:19:13.:19:18.

loved him. If we can afford to me, we would like to bring him here.

:19:18.:19:22.

Town could do with a win against posh to get them back on track, but

:19:22.:19:25.

history is not on their side. Tell me the last time Ipswich beat

:19:25.:19:33.

Peterborough? I can't remember. am not that good on my history!

:19:33.:19:40.

don't know. This man was in charge at the last time Ipswich beat Posh

:19:40.:19:48.

in 1972. That was the year I was born. Perhaps this man might help.

:19:48.:19:57.

Keith Andrews is bringing the goals for the team. We have had some

:19:57.:20:06.

really good battles. But they are a club I have a lot of time for. I

:20:06.:20:12.

have known their manager a long time. They play some good football.

:20:12.:20:17.

Andrews goes to to toe with Pot's Lee Frecklington. He expects Pushed

:20:17.:20:24.

to be on the front foot. We have a young, fit team. We play best at a

:20:24.:20:28.

high tempo. If you look at the first three games so far, that is

:20:28.:20:34.

where we have had success. That Clinton's goal was impressive. So

:20:34.:20:38.

was Posh's resolve. Ipswich will have a fight on their hands at

:20:38.:20:48.
:20:48.:20:50.

London Road tomorrow. To the League One games tomorrow. Colchester head

:20:50.:20:53.

to Huddersfield. MK Dons, who are still unbeaten, host Chesterfield,

:20:53.:20:56.

while Stevenage who've also had a good start, take on Hartlepool. All

:20:56.:20:58.

3 o'clock kick-offs. In League Two, Northampton play Cheltenham.

:20:58.:21:01.

Cobblers boss Gary Johnson says his team needs to make amends after a

:21:01.:21:04.

poor performance in midweek. Southend, who also lost on Tuesday,

:21:04.:21:07.

are at home to Burton. In the Premier League, Norwich play their

:21:07.:21:11.

first home game on Sunday. Bad news for James Bigg, a lifelong Canary

:21:11.:21:15.

living in Canada, back here to get married and to take in the Stoke

:21:15.:21:19.

game, but as the match has been put back 24 hours, there's a clash. Now,

:21:19.:21:23.

there's a dilemma! My fiancee is standing next to me. Changing the

:21:23.:21:26.

date of the wedding would probably get me a sharp kick in the

:21:26.:21:34.

unmentionables. So that will not happen. We will forge ahead. It

:21:34.:21:37.

will still be a fantastic occasion and if Norwich can grab three

:21:37.:21:43.

points before we tie the knot, that would be a complete day.

:21:43.:21:47.

Kick off Sunday is at 1.30. There's coverage of all the games on your

:21:47.:21:49.

local BBC radio station. Highlights Saturday night on the Football

:21:49.:21:56.

League Show. Norwich will be on Match of the Day 2 on Sunday night.

:21:56.:22:01.

I think he made the right decision for marital bliss! Just a word

:22:01.:22:04.

about the Norwich City game this weekend. We're sorry we didn't have

:22:04.:22:07.

any of the normal interviews with the manager or players at Norwich

:22:07.:22:11.

City. The club won't let us interview them at the moment.

:22:11.:22:14.

Thousands of people are heading to Hylands Park today in Chelmsford

:22:14.:22:17.

today for one of the country's biggest music events. It's the V

:22:17.:22:20.

festival, of course. Around 170,000 people will see bands like the

:22:20.:22:23.

Arctic Monkeys, Duran Duran and The Kaiser Chiefs. Dawn Gerber is there

:22:23.:22:32.

now. Yes, beautiful weather. The Sun has

:22:32.:22:36.

stayed out, and fans have started to arrive. Most are heading to the

:22:36.:22:40.

main campsite, but a few have opted for something a bit special like

:22:40.:22:45.

this. I am in the luxury camping Arena, where you get a home from

:22:45.:22:49.

home environment. It is hot and sunny, and there are

:22:49.:22:52.

lots of back to carry, but there is an alternative to Basics campaign.

:22:52.:22:58.

You can upgrade to this, pop-up hotel room. Hot showers, a flush of

:22:58.:23:03.

the toilet, a fully air-conditioned room which locks. The luxury pays

:23:03.:23:08.

for itself. The upgrade is worth the money. We have come here for my

:23:09.:23:16.

40th. It was a present. If you were a dwarf, it would be OK. These are

:23:16.:23:20.

the lowest ones. You need to be 4 ft 6 to go in and out. I will tell

:23:21.:23:25.

you in a couple of days, when I probably have a bad back. But this

:23:25.:23:30.

pop-up hotel room does not come cheap. The Costa two people is

:23:30.:23:36.

�2,600, compared to �350 for a basic weekend camping pass for two

:23:36.:23:41.

people. There are cheaper alternatives. There is the gypsy

:23:41.:23:48.

caravan for �1,500 for two people, or the Hotel Bel tent, slightly

:23:48.:23:54.

less at �1,350. Prices also include access to the arena, hospitality

:23:54.:23:59.

and a special car park for the weekend. But are they worth it?

:23:59.:24:04.

air is the demand for it. So we cater for that demand. That is what

:24:04.:24:08.

some people want. And yes, they are quite nice. Wouldn't mind stay

:24:08.:24:13.

there myself! Do you think they are value for money? They cost what

:24:13.:24:18.

they cost. It is quite expensive. With so many new festivals of

:24:19.:24:22.

popping up, how worried are established festivals like V

:24:22.:24:27.

Festival? We do not have any issues finding a line-up? Batted the

:24:27.:24:32.

problem with a number of festivals. There is not enough talent to go

:24:32.:24:35.

round. But being one of the larger establishments, we have no problem

:24:35.:24:40.

getting our bill together. This seems to be a growing trend. Other

:24:40.:24:43.

festivals also offer boutique camping, but with the current

:24:43.:24:47.

economic climate, many of us cannot afford these luxuries. So perhaps

:24:47.:24:53.

it is best not to ditch your tent yet.

:24:53.:24:57.

So not cheap, but very lavish. The music kicks off tomorrow. We had

:24:57.:25:02.

the Arctic Monkeys and Plan B, plus a six in a Olly Murs playing to his

:25:02.:25:05.

home crowd. Lots of people looking forward to that. Eminem and Rihanna

:25:05.:25:10.

on Sunday, but the roads will be busy until Monday, so tune in to

:25:10.:25:15.

BBC Radio Essex to get the latest on the travel.

:25:15.:25:21.

You could go on a very nice holiday for the cost of that pop-up hotel!

:25:21.:25:30.

Part of the fund is surely getting wet and being a be? Yes, it is a

:25:30.:25:35.

good evening for setting up the tents. I think it will stay fine

:25:35.:25:42.

and dry this evening. Nice day today, but it will not stay as nice

:25:42.:25:46.

over the weekend. If you are going to V Festival, it looks as though

:25:46.:25:56.
:25:56.:25:59.

both days could provide a shower. Temperatures will start to level

:25:59.:26:09.

Just the hint of a spot of light rain. Temperatures tonight will not

:26:09.:26:17.

for that low. To stay light south- westerly breeze. That does

:26:17.:26:20.

unfortunately leave the front brighter over tomorrow. It will

:26:20.:26:24.

bring us some patchy rain, but also the chance of one or two brighter

:26:24.:26:28.

intervals. The rain could turn up in the south, the North or just

:26:28.:26:33.

about anywhere tomorrow. But it will not last all day. It will be a

:26:33.:26:43.
:26:43.:26:44.

cloudy day, with patchy rain, but also a few drier, brighter spells.

:26:44.:26:48.

It looks as though the wind is still south-westerly. In the

:26:48.:26:53.

evening, the last of that rain moves away to give us a bright-ish

:26:53.:26:58.

start on Sunday. But if you look at this area of the chart, a new low

:26:58.:27:01.

develops down there, which comes towards us on Monday night into

:27:01.:27:05.

Tuesday. That will bring us some very wet weather at the beginning

:27:05.:27:09.

of next week. Disappointing tomorrow, not much sunshine. There

:27:09.:27:16.

will be a brighter look to the weather on Sunday. Warm as well.

:27:16.:27:22.

Cloud rapidly increasing on Monday, and very wet on Tuesday. Wednesday

:27:22.:27:26.

starts to improve again. The winds will remain light through most of

:27:26.:27:30.

the weekend, good news if you are in those tense. Night-time

:27:30.:27:32.
