On Look East tonight: A woman is jailed for the torture | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
of a three-year-old boy in one of the worst cases of child cruelty | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
ever seen by the police. I think she deserve the sentence. That | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
child is fortunate to have survived. Could this be the new home for the | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
travellers from Dale Farm. It is just a few miles down the road. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
are against it. Everyone has a right to settle somewhere, but | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
they're asking for another 60 plots. That is more than anywhere else. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
The Government makes its final decision on our coastguards with | :00:45. | :00:55. | |

Hello. A woman from Essex is starting a nine year jail sentence | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
tonight for causing grievous bodily harm to a three-year-old boy. The | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
boy was beaten, scratched and strangled. He had bite marks all | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
over his body and his feet had been held under scalding hot running | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
water. The woman, who was looking after the boy for a month, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
eventually phoned the paramedics for help because she was worried | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
the boy was dead. Our Chief Reporter was in court and joins us | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
now. This was one of the most sombre and | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
shocking court hearings I have ever attended. 28-year-old Karen Victory | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
admitted grievous bodily harm, two counts of actual bodily harm, and | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
child cruelty. She was sobbing even before she got into the dock. She | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
sobbed and shook uncontrollably throughout the hearing. She seemed | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
to cover her ears as some of the most horrific details of her | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
cruelty to this young boy were given. It happened while she was | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
looking after the boy for over three weeks at her one-bedroom flat | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
in this road in Witham. It was the address to which she finally called | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
paramedics in February. She had been throttling the boy and was | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
scared she had killed him. At first, she claimed her own daughter had | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
been playing a game with him that involved tying a scarf around his | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
neck. At first, the paramedics thought he was dead. But he was | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
still breathing. They found bite marks on every part of his body. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Scratches, cuts, serious bruises, and, as you said, the most dreadful | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
injuries. Extreme burns to his feet which required skin grafts. Judge | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Anthony Goldstaub said fingernails had been dug into his skin. There | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
were strangulation marks on his neck. He had screamed with pain | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
when touched. The little boy said Karen had held him under the | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
boiling water. I want my mum, he had said. The photographs of 40 | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
separate injures were harrowing, said the judge. | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
The defence had plenty to say in mitigation? | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Sarah Vine, defending, said however horrifying the offences, whatever | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
level of revulsion they cause, they were not and never were about | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
sadism. They were an overspill of the most tragic variety of | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
unmanaged and unaddressed emotions, fuelled by alcohol and drugs. | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
Victory had lost her mother at 13. She had later gone into care. She | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
had become involved with a very violent man. Over several years, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
she said he beat her and he beat her and he beat her. He battered | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
any last shred of self-worth out of her. She dampened the pain with | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
alcohol and drugs. It was an explanation, not an excuse. She | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
said Victory insisted she loved the little boy. The judge said Victory | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
had shown considerable remorse. But she'd had responsibility for the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
child in her care and had shown a shocking breach of trust. He | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
sentenced her to nine years in prison and barred her for life from | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
working with children. The police and Crown Prosecution Service say | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
it is one of the worst cases of child cruelty they have ever | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
witnessed. He was so traumatised that he was | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
not even able to react to medical staff when he arrived at hospital. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Totally scared of other human beings, so he physically turned | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
away from medical staff initially. We had a situation grew this young | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
child had lost more or less all faith in other human beings as a | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
:04:55. | :04:57. | ||
result of the incident with this lady. Tonight, the boy is in care. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
The Essex Safeguarding Children's Board says it has commissioned a | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
serious case review in respect of the injuries caused to him by Karen | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Victory. She left the court as she arrived. In tears, mouthing the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
words, "I am so sorry." A planning inquiry began today to | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
decide if travellers evicted from Dale Farm in Essex should be | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
allowed to move onto a new site nearby. Basildon Council has | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
already refused planning permission for 12 plots on land just a few | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
miles from Dale Farm at Laindon. Today the travellers argued a | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
further 50 temporary plots should be allowed there as well. | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Could this land become the next Dale Farm? It is owned by a | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
government quango. Travellers say it was offered to Basildon council | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
to meet their needs. In August, the council rejected a planning | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
application by travellers to build 12 plots year. The reason is that | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
studies have shown this site is home to several endangered species | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
of birds and insects and reptiles. Today, an inquiry began. It will | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
decide whether the travellers' needs outweigh the loss of open | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
space and wildlife. These people from Dale Farm hanging on there. It | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
is dire and they are living in difficult conditions. We're putting | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
in a request to be allowed to develop 50 temporary sites to get | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
out of the mud that Dale Farm has been to turned into. That is | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
causing alarm here. Locals fear at the primary school might suffer the | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
same fate as the school close to Dale Farm for all stop there are | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
:06:55. | :07:00. | ||
road safety concerns. The state of the India could be developed into a | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
larger site and deal for. Whether the families end up a few miles | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
away from Dale Farm will be down to the planning inquiry and ultimately | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
the Secretary of State. A woman who has been a nurse for 29 | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
years told an inquest today she was horrified by the severity of bed | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
sores on the back of an elderly patient. She said she could count | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
on the fingers of one hand the number of times she had seen | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
anything as severe. 74-year-old Anna Dunmore was a patient at the | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Old Vicarage Care Home at Littleport in Cambridgeshire. The | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
details now from our reporter in Huntingdon. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Well, nurses to give evidence today said these bedsores were grade for | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
which has the worst type. They say they could have been prevented. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
They say the bed sores to DUP caused the death, but they | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
contributed to it. When this picture was taken, Abed | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
saw had he done deep into Anna Dunmore's back. Eight centimetres | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
wide. This nurse told the coroner that she was horrified. In 29 years, | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
she could count on one hand how many times she had seen pressure | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
sores so severe. Anna Dunmore developed an abyss care home. She | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
had dementia and Parkinson's. Her family have heard evidence the care | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
home did not meet her needs. A district nurse said the pressure | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
sores were so developed but had not been spotted. She should have been | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
turned every two hours. For one period of nine days, she was not | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
:08:55. | :08:56. | ||
turned at all. One district nurse who could not be named said that -- | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
allegedly said that turning was not necessary. It took a fortnight for | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
the county council to get permissions and arrange transport | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
for a transfer to a house with greater supervision. The nurse said | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
that the patient would have been in extreme pain. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
So, if Mrs Dunmore had been turned regularly, the sore would not have | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
developed? Pressure sores are caused when | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
blood cannot access part of the body when someone is in bed or in | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
bed for a long period of time. In another care home, they look out | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
for pressure sores when the Bay's people and turn them regularly. -- | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
when they bathe. Still to come on the programme: | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
When will the fog clear? Jim Bacon is here with the weather. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
And Nikki Jenkins off to school to sample some pub grub. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
I am off to the pub to find out what is on the menu for school | :10:07. | :10:17. | |

A man has been convicted of murder after stabbing a woman more than 50 | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
times when she answered her door. Howard Livings was found guilty at | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Chelmsford Crown Court of the murder of Tina Bennett on Easter | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Sunday in Braintree. Livings has never explained why he did it. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Campaigners say they will carry on their fight to save two coastguard | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
stations in the region. The Government has confirmed a decision | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
to close them. The announcement about Great Yarmouth and Walton on | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
the Naze was made in Parliament this afternoon. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
This is the coastguard station at Norfolk. Since 1791, boats have | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
been launched from here to save people stuck at sea. Today, the way | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
emergency calls will be handled in the future has changed. A decision | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
was made to shut the coastguard stations in Great Yarmouth and at | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
Walton and the knees in Essex. understand that the loss of some | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
cause guard jobs and the closure of some centres will cause some | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
distress. But the decisions announced today will deliver a | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
modern network we need for the future, whilst reducing costs. | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
Under new plans, all emergency calls will go through Southampton. | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
The proposals have not gone down well. They face fierce opposition | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
and fears about safety. Local knowledge saves lines -- saves | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
lives and that is a fact. I think it is very important. My consort -- | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
my concern is that someone in Southampton is not aware of what is | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
going on in this area. Around 50 jobs will be lost when the | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
coastguard stations are eventually shut, which could happen within a | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
couple of years. There has been another apparent | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
release of e-mails from the University of East Anglia's | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Climatic Research Unit. More than 5,000 emails and other documents | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
have appeared on a Russian server a week before the annual UN climate | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
summit. Something similar happened in 2009 which triggered the | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
climate-gate affair and accusations of fraud. These were later | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
dismissed. A decision is expected soon on | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
whether to prosecute Energy Secretary Chris Huhne over claims | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
he tried to avoid a speeding penalty incurred on the M11 in | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Essex. The Director of Public Prosecutions said the only | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
remaining issue was evidence held by a newspaper. Mr Huhne has denied | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
claims he asked his then wife to take responsibility for a driving | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
offence in 2003. A bright future for Britain's | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
biggest container port was predicted today by a top official | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
from China. Lee Shenglin, the Chinese Minister of Transport, was | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
paying his first visit to Felixstowe. It's the main gateway | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
into Britain for Chinese goods. Labour getting ready for someone | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
:13:27. | :13:31. | ||
very important at Felixstowe today. -- they were. This man is | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
recognised as the most influential person in world shipping. He is the | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
Chinese Minister for Transport. China get its goods to the UK end | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
through it Felixstowe, so he wanted to visit the poor. TRANSLATION: The | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
future development of the sport will be more prosperous and create | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
more opportunities for the development of co-operation between | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
China and the UK. Everyone knows the Chinese sell an awful lot of | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
exports to us. But the donned by very many British goods and | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
services in return. That is a problem. Last year, the East | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
imported over �6 billion worth of goods from Asia. But we only | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
exported just under �3 billion. lot of these containers go back to | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
China, so that is a great opportunity for British companies | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
to move into the Chinese markets. We have access to the biggest and | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
most efficient ships moving to China. It is a great opportunity. | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
The Chinese influence on Felixstowe was clear to see today. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
In the football tonight, Southend are at home to Preston in a first | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
round replay in the FA Cup. The winner will be at home to Oldham. | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Southend are unbeaten in 14 games. Live coverage on BBC Essex. | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
A decision is expected tonight on the future of the open air swimming | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
pool in Ipswich. The Broomhill Lido, which is Grade 2 listed, has been | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
closed since 2002. The Borough Council has five options, including | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
demolition. Earlier this month, a full page advertisement in a local | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
newspaper was taken our by campaigners in support of an option | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
for the site taken over by a private operator. | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
The final digital switchover in East Anglia begins today. Analogue | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
TV signals are being turned off and the digital TV signal boosted to | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
reach all of Norfolk and Suffolk. More than 75,000 viewers in digital | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
blackspots will have Freeview channels for the first time. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
From tomorrow, all households in Norfolk and Suffolk will only be | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
able to watch television if they have a deep -- digital receiver. | :15:47. | :15:56. | |
few weeks ago, the signal for BBC Two went off. Tonight, the rest of | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
the analogue channels will go off. All of the commercial channels will | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
now come in at high power for the first time. It is the end of an era | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
for Broadcasting's year. Just before midnight, 55 years of | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
analogue TV will come to an end. TV signals are carried in fibre-optic | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
cables along these pipes. They are amplified before being transmitted | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
from a new transmission mast. Some people will get BBC free view | :16:34. | :16:40. | |

from a satellite system or a cable It's one of the region's biggest | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
employers and it's in trouble. Thomas Cook saw a dramatic fall in | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
it's share price today after a warning from the company that it | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
needed more help from banks over its debt. Thomas Cook saw its | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
shares fall by 73%. The company has suffered badly this year after | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
political unrest in Egypt and Tunisia, and the recent floods in | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
Thailand. Thomas Cook employs 19,000 people in the UK, 1,500 of | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
those work at its headquarters in Peterborough. It has just over | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
1,000 high street branches, about 130 of those are in our region. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
There have been suggestions from business experts that the company | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
is considering closing 200 of them across the country Thomas Cook | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
won't confirm that number. It is simply saying its reviewing all of | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
its retail units, but remains confident about the future. | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
Thomas Cook is a holiday company that has been around for 100 years. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
They have sent millions of customers overseas. We have | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
excellent customer relations. I am confident that we will send | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
millions of British people over seas next year. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Earlier I spoke to Simon Calder who is an independent travel writer. I | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
started by asking him, despite the company's optimism, whether we can | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
expect job losses at Peterborough. I fear that we are going to see job | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
losses at Peterborough. Very difficult to see any alternative. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
That is because, in future, and I believe there is a bright future | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
for the strongest brand in travel, in future we will see that Thomas | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Cook is a much leaner, much more efficient organisation. There are | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
great people at the headquarters in Peterborough. But unfortunately | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
many of them run the wrong business. Thomas Cook has not quickly enough | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
got out of the very bottom of the market two-star self-catering | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
packages to the Med. Those sort of packages that your right to put | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
together in two minutes on the in to net. What about the high street | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
branches? Many of our high streets have Thomas Cook branches. 20 years | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
ago, if you wanted a package holiday, you would want to put a | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
holiday through a large tour operator. Those days have gone. | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
There are so many consumer choices. The good thing is that Thomas Cook | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
is still a going concern. Despite the many mistakes and misfortunes, | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
it is still a profitable companies. It still has a place in the | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
marketplace as mac it has. weather in the UK is not always | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
perfect. We will always want to travel. A lot of us who have many | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
happy memories of holidays with Thomas Cook will continue to grip | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
with the strongest brand in Travels. Should those people who have | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
already booked and paid for their summer holiday be worried about | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
this news today? No, I can understand their concerns, however. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
People have got in touch with me saying that they have booked | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
holidays for next year and they want to know with the money is safe. | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Your money is saved as it is ultimately underwritten by the UK | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
government. It is extremely likely the holiday will go ahead as | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
planned. It is a great time to be a traveller. Unless you work for | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Thomas Cook, in which case your future looks a little uncertain at | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
the future, it is not a bad time to work in the travel business. Thank | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
you. There are a few things essential to | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
village life. And a school and a pub have got to be pretty high on | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
the list. But they're under pressure. So what can we do? The | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
village of Haynes in Bedfordshire is typical. But they could have | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
found an answer. In the old days, kids were welcome | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
in pubs but only in the car park. At this pub, they are very | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
:21:39. | :21:43. | ||
important customers. These schoolchildren. Forget Plowman, | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
thinks schoolboy. The pub is now the school kitchen. It was hard for | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
a couple of weeks as there are about 70 orders. We do most of the | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
preparation the night before. We will just cook what they are having | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
in the mornings. Once 12pm comes and we have served the school food, | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
we carry on with the pub. Being a small school, we do not have a | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
kitchen on site. Another school has always cooked our meals. When the | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
contract ended in the summer, we were unable to afford the contract. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
They would have pushed the price of the meals up too high for our | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
parents. At �2 per head, there is not a lot | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
of profit. But there are other benefits. This is guaranteed income. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
The children liked the food, so the encourage their parents to come at | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
the weekend. Demand has soared. From 10% to 60%. Their very nice. I | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
like the puddings, especially rice pudding with jam. I need it most | :22:55. | :23:05. | |

days. Sir is no better proof than clean plate. | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
This region can lay claim to many great artists, from painters like | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
Constable and Gainsborough to the composer Benjamin Britten. Britten | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
was born in Suffolk and lived most of his life in Aldeburgh. Next year | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
marks the centenary of his birth. And we can look forward to a big | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:47. | ||
musical celebration. Today we got a These singers are performing one of | :23:47. | :23:57. | |
Benjamin Britten's hems for St Cecilia. He was born in 1913. That | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
is St Cecilia's Bay, the patron saint of music. Benjamin Britten's | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
roots are firmly in East Anglia. He was inspired by the last kick. | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
people have heard of some of his more famous works, but he wrote | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
lots of music for ordinary people to sing. He said he wanted to be | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
:24:35. | :24:48. | ||
There is now a museum. This afternoon, the turf was cut for a | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
new archive centre in the grounds. Benjamin Britten would have been | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
delighted. He would have been bemused and wondering what this was | :25:00. | :25:10. | |

Benjamin Britten died in all opera in the 1970s. -- in the old brass. | :25:20. | :25:29. | |

Will we get rid of the fog? Yes, tomorrow. Stabbing sent a | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
wonderful photograph. The fog cleared today, but it has left us | :25:49. | :25:59. | |
with misty skies. Clear skies tonight, so it will be called. Mist | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
patches possible. The main talking point for tonight is that with | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
these clearing skies are edging in the temperatures will fall. Much | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
colder than recent nights. There will be a widespread ground frost. | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
Some misty low cloud for the Essex Court -- the Essex coast. There | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
will be sunshine for most of the day. Dry with a southerly wind. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Temperatures similar to today. Feeling a world apart because of | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
the sunshine. By the end of the afternoon, we will see a little | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
more thin and high cloud in the west of the region. The outlook is | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
more interesting. Much more changeable. A front will come along | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
later on Thursday. Brighter weather for a time on Saturday. Very cold | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
air is coming all the way across the northern half of the Atlantic | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
from Canada. Very strong winds soul colder weather and a touch of | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
winter for the north of the country. It will bring our temperatures down | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
in the south. Mainly dry weather for Wednesday and Thursday. Patchy | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
rain first thing on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, mainly dry by | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
deed but some rain on Saturday night. It turns a lot colder. The | :27:29. | :27:34. |
