On Look East tonight, the region braces itself for a decade of | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
expansion as the Government trance forms the planning laws. It really | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
does make sense to rip up the red table tape and allow areas that | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
want to grow, to start growing. have reaction from all sides to | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
that announcement, which could change the face of our region. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Reduced to a trickle, the rivers in our region drying up in the drought. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
Normally, in March, you would expect that the water levels to be | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
above your ankles at least. At the moment, it literally is just a | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
small trickle running down the river. This woman's extradition | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
battle described as "shocking" by the experts. As easyJet makes its | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
first flight out of Southend I'm on board and in conversation with the | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
:01:09. | :01:11. | ||
airline's Chief Executive, Carolyn McCall. Hello, towns and cities | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
across the region are fatesing a decade of development after the | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Government announcement today of a shake-up in the planning laws. The | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
changes take place with immediate effect. The aim is to make it | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
easier for companies to grow and for developers to build more houses. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
From now on, there will be an "presumption in favour of | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
sustainable development" it's the Look East region which can expect | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
the biggest impact. These are the locations where demand for housing | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
is at its highest. Here along the M1 at Luton and Milton Keynes. Here | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
in Peterborough and over here in Colchester where the population is | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
set to soar by 21,000 in the next eight years. In Corby it's | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
projected to rise by 9,000. That's ain crease of 19% in just eight | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
years. While the reforms are being welcomed tonight by the business | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
community, conservation groups have expressed concern at what they're | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
calling a "planning free for all". This report comes from Andrew | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Sinclair. The Government says these changes are pro-business. Designed | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
to make it quicker to get things built. At this business conference | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
today the changes were Warmley welcomed. I think this is welcomed | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
anything that can shorten it is better for businesses. Businesses | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
need to react quickly. I think the news today that it will go through | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
is fantastic. It will make people from small contractors to larger | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
ones invest in for fork. About ministers say there is a growing | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
need for more homes in the region. Councils will be expected to look | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
at the population projections and give the go atheed far more | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
building. At Westminster, some MPs think the move is long overdue. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
a time when we all know that the country needs economic growth, and | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
there is a housing crisis, it really does make sense to rip up | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
the red tape and allow areas like Corby, who want to grow, to start | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
growing. Why should Colchester and north Essex be submerged under more | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
housing. More land has been developed in Colchester in the last | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
30 years than in the 2,000 years after the Roman's settled on | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Colchester and made it their first capital. The Government said | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
brownfield sites should be used first and the impact to the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
countryside always considered. message from ministers gives us | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
very little hope that they actually mean what they say. We fear that it | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
will allow developers to build in the countryside regardless of its | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
impact. The Government is relying on British business to kick start | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
the economy. In building more roads, doing a way -- away with red tape | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
and looking at airport expansion, it's trying to make things as easy | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
as possible for business to grow. There will be more building in the | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
countryside, the question is, how much and will it be worth it? One | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
place which can expect a big expansion over the next eight years | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
is Peterborough. It's seen massive growth since the '60s. There is a | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
lot more to come. In the 1930's we were building houses like crazy. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Today, we are creating half of the homes we need. To give the next | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
generation the chance our generation has had... The council | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
here in Peterborough says it is sitting pretty. It is a council | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
that sticks to a local plan. We at Peterborough have a site | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
allocations document which clearly sets out exactly where any future | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
development might be allowed in our cities area. In the next 20 years | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
the city's population is expected to reach 250,000. New areas could | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
be created like this one. Ten years ago, Hampton Vale didn't exist, now | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
it's Peterborough's newest town, housing thousands of people. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
sure it will chep help the economy. Good for businesses as well. More | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
people in the area for businesses and more growth. It's never a bad | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
thing. We are waiting for a property at the moment. We are | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
living in a room with a baby. It's not very good. We need a house. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
25,000 new homes need to be built in Peterborough over the next ten | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
years. Work that come -- could come this developers way. The minister | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
made it clear in his statement to the House today that things like | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
green belts, areas of outstanding natural beauty will be maintained, | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
they will be preserved. It's not a developers charter as has been | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
written in the press up-and-down the country. With such a crisis on | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
our hands, good planning is an essential part of the jigsaw. Once | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
the houses are built, whether we can actually afford them, that is a | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
different story. Earlier, I spoke to the Communities Minister, and | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:34. | ||
yue Stunnell. I put it to him that the local people might not want any | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
develops but under the new rules wouldn't they still go-ahead | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
because of emphasis on the economic benefits? Your children and | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
grandchildren need to have places to live. They need to have places | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
to work and they need to have the means of getting from one to the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
other. So, all our communities are going to have to grow. They are | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
going to have to provide the right accommodation for that community in | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
the future. We need to give people the opportunity to say, I want my | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
community to develop like this in the next ten years and to say to | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
developers, there is your opportunity, fit in with that plan. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Get your development plans to line up with what the local community | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
wants. A lot of talk today about sustainable development and that | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
developments need to be sustainable. What is the exact definition of | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
that? A big company might say that their plans are sustainable, but | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
local people might say, no, we don't want these fields to be built | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
on. What wins the argument? It has to be sustainable economically. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Obviously, nothing gets built if it's not economically sustainable. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
It has to be sustainable from the environmental point of view. It has | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
to be sustainably from the social and community point of view as well. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
The NPPF say it is's right for the planners at local council level to | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
test that out and to decide whether that development proposal is or | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
isn't sustainable. Countryside Alliance said there is a lack of | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
guidance for local communities if they have legitimate concerns about | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
planned developments. What should they do? Every local council area | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
needs to have its own local plan. Inside that area, each | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
neighbourhood can, if it wants to, develop its own statutory plan. | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
It's own plan suitable for its own needs and and its own purposes. It | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
has to fit into the overall pattern, of course it has. The jigsaw has to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
join up and make a picture overall. It's the first time local | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
communities have had that freedom to decide how their communities | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
should be shaped in the future. That's the new step that we've | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
taken. So, yes, of course, there is going to be tension and conflict | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
sometimes, but it's going to be one where the local community has far | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
more say in the shape of their future than they have ever had | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
before. Thank you very much. Northampton and England rugby star | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Dylan Hartley has been banned from playing for eight weeks after he | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
bit an opponent during the Six Nations game against Ireland. James | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
Burridge is in Northampton now. Both the players were involved in | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
an incident. The pictures show when the incident happened. Nigel Owens | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
is refereeing, he didn't see the incident. Both players and both | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
captains were spoken to about it at the time. Nigel Owens pulled both | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
captains together. I know we were going to hear a bit of the clip | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
there. Let me ask you, is that it as far as he is concerned for the | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
rest of the season now? In a strange way he is quite lucky. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Normally, a ban for biting could be a minimum of 12 weeks, it could be | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
as much as four years at times. Eight weeks is quite lucky. He | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
could play in the Premiership final. He will be playing in England's | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Tour to South Africa in June. It wasn't conclusive. I think the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
committee today saw that, Hartley made a statement as well. He may | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
appeal this. He said he is disappointed about this. He is | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
waiting for the written judgment on Friday. On Thursday, Callum Clarke | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
he faces his own disciplinary committee hearing on Thursday for a | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
worse offence. He has been accused of pulling out the elbow out of a | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
socket of a rival player. This week for Northampton is not good. Both | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
its captains are involved in cases such as these. Lots more to come, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
including the attempts to keep one of our most beautiful rivers | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
flowing. Shaun Peel has news from on board easyJet flight 2012. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
easyJet announced it's looking at allocating seats for passengers in | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
a trial. One change in an ever changing airline industry. I will | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
talk to the boss of easyJet, Carolyn McCall, after the news from | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
:11:28. | :11:29. | ||
your part of the region. A single mother from Thetford is facing | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
extradition over a drugs offence in her native Poland six years ago. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
23-year-old Natalia Gorczowska came to the UK when she was 18. A | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
campaign group say it is's shocked by the move. Natalia Gorczowska has | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
turned her life around. She adores her son Nathan, she has a regular | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
factory job, she share as home in Thetford with her father, but fear | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
it is could all be taken away from her. The self-harming scars on her | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
arms testify to how it used to be in Poland. He was given a ten month | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
suspended sentence. Hidden beneath the trousers her electronic tag. | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
The poemish authorities say she broke the terms of her sentence by | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
not telling them of her move to England. They say she must return | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
and go to prison. I try to do my best for me and my son. It's not | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
easy being single mother. Now, my life has come down again. I don't | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
know what's going to happen the next day. I'm scared every day | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
because maybe I have to go. It's really hard. Do you think this is a | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:52. | ||
battle that you can win? I'm not sure now. I hope so. I don't kill | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
no-one. Auto I do bad for myself, not to someone else. I hope I can | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
stay with my son and someone will understand me and try to help me. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Extradition has an enormous human impact. It should be restricted to | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
the most serious offences. In this case, extraditing a young woman, | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
separating her from her one-year- old child, for a minor offence, | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
would be disproportionate. The pressure group says Poland issued | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
3,700 European arrest warrants in 2010 many for minor threft and drug | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
pocession offences. She fears the knock-on the door that could turn | :13:36. | :13:45. | |
her life and that of her son upside down. The flow of gas to the Bacton | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
terminal on the Norfolk coast has fallen sharply following a gas leak | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
on a drilling rig in the North Sea. Gas from the Elgin field is piped | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
ashore at Bacton. Gas flows at the nerm terminal have dropped by 60% | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
since the rig shut down. The region's supplies won't be affected. | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
It's taken more than 20 years, but from today a young woman from Essex | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
officially exists. She is Jade Jacobs-Brooks and she lives in | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Harlow. Her problems started when she was born in Spain and didn't | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
get a birth certificate. This is the document she has been fighting | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
for. Presented with her Spanish birth certificate it proves she | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
does now exist. I didn't know how to react to it. Everyone take it is | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
for granted. When I got it in my hands, I mean, it was mad. | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
Obviously, it's held me back for 20 years not being able to work. Pick | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
up a package from the post box. I dent tie crisis started in Spain. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
Her parents were on holiday. She was born early. Although her birth | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
was registered in Spain, she wasn't given a birth certificate. Her | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
parents were allowed to fly her home. It has taken years to get her | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
an identity. Without a birth certificate, she hasn't been able | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
to vote, learn to drive or leave the country. Everybody says, surely, | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
you must be able to do this. Why don't you try. This we've tried | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
everything we can. It's taken four years for one of the world's | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
largest law firms to resolve her case. We saw it as a human rights | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
issue. She couldn't work. She couldn't vote. She couldn't travel. | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
All of these things that we take for granted, she couldn't do. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
will open up everything for her, holidays, going out with the girls. | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
Jade Jacobs-Brooks plans to apply for her passport and travel. A | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
quick word about the football tonight. Ipswich are at home to | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Middleton in the Championship. In League One, Colchester go to | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
Walsall. A win could put them within three points of the play- | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
offs. Not so long ago we all had them, thep then came the CD and the | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
iPod. Demand for old-style records is growing by the day. That's good | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
news for devoted fans of vinyl. Among thepg is a collector from | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
:16:27. | :16:29. | ||
Suffolk. -- them is a collector from Suffolk. I appeared at the | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
Royal Festival two or three times. I did ten minute warmups for | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
Frankie Vaughan. I was called Steve Baron. I change, all musicians do. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
One thing that hasn't changed is his love of vinyl. He lost count of | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
how many records he has, he think it is could be more than 6,000. | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
Heavy metal is popular with the kids. Funk has take an dive. | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
can listen undisturbed here and get nostalgic. Remember this sound? | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
This is what they call sych-folk. Collectors clamour for it, vinyl is | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
very much back in vowing. It's the warmth of the recordings. Now | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
everything is digitally mastered. It's so clean. There is a warm wth | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
vinyl. Sometimes at the beginning you might not hear that crackle. It | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
makes it feel more homely. Collectors don't want to hear that, | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
they want it perfect. There is a warmth to it. If you want to step | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
:17:49. | :17:50. | ||
back, how about this, a black box and Bobbie Helms. It's from 195, a | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
track called Living In the Shadow Of the Past. For JJ where better to | :17:58. | :18:08. | |
:18:08. | :18:11. | ||
be. --1958. This is Look East from the BBC, coming up Viva Espana from | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
:18:21. | :18:21. | ||
Southend. There's still no end in sight to the drought in this region. | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
We are just nine days away from a hosepipe ban. The driest spell in a | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
century can be seen where ever we look in our fields and gardens and, | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
of course, in our rivers. Over the coming weeks, Look East will chart | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
the story of the drought from the banks of the River Deben in Suffolk. | :18:39. | :18:49. | |
It's a typical east ange -- East Anglianwaterway, which, in places, | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
has been reduced to a trickle. We can join our environment reporter | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
Richard Daniel. This river depends on run-off from the surrounding | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
farm land there has been little rain in the past few weeks. The | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
flow is sharply declining. There is concern that the ecology of this | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
river could be affected. Dawn on the Deben. It's easy to see why | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
some rate it among the most beautiful low land rivers in | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
Britain. For 26 miles it winds it is way through the unspoilt Suffolk | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
countryside. Wildlife, agriculture, tourism, all depend on the river. | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
Downstream, here at Afford, close to where the Deben becomes tidal, | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
it appears to be nothing wrong with this river. It's stunning. Travel | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
up close to the source of the river, and problems are already becoming | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
apparent. Normally, in March, you would expect that the water levels | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
to be above your ankles at least. As you can see at the moment, it | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
literally is just a small trickle running down the river. At Deben | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
the river is stagnant. They have seen this before. Back in 1997, we | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
had an incident, where 15 kilometers of the river further | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
down was deoxygenated and we had lots of fish dying. Yeah, the | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
conditions were so bad that the eels were crawling up the banks to | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
get out of the waurter because it was so unpleasant. -- water because | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
it was so unpleasant. Five miles downstream they are prepared for | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
the worst. This borehole can pump 4,000 tonnes of water a day into | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
the river. They expect to start using it by mid-summer. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
forecasts at the moment we would expect to Selo flows from June on | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
wards. Which means we have to run this borehole through to September. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
This is about 50 meters deep. It pumps from the deep chalk. Talk | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
taking wautfrer a big area around us. It will have an effect on water | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
levels for three miles. This equipment monitors the oxygen | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
levels in the river. At the moment it's high, close to 100%. This is | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
one of self-places where the water may have to be aerated. Why you | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
have areas of slow flowing water there will be blooms, in the day | :21:37. | :21:47. | |
:21:47. | :21:48. | ||
time sun light will give out oxygen. At the night-time they will give | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:00. | ||
oit out CO2. I have seen them completely dry. There will be rats, | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
nothing else. To think it could happen to our main channels is very | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
serious. Everyone hopes it doesn't come to. That over the coming | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
months, we'll find out. Now, the Environment Agency says it will | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
hold off to the last-minute before it pumps water into this river to | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
keep flows going. Farmers may not be able to extract water from this | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
river this summer. That decision rests on whether there will be any | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
rain. Alex is there any rain? We have high pressure across the | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
British isles blocking the weather front that would bring us wet | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
weather at this time of year. It will start moving to the west, it | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
doesn't look like we will see useful rain totals for the neck | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
week. From the two of us, from a beautiful stretch of the River | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
Deben, back to you in the studio. Thank you very much. If you are | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
affected by the drought conditions get in touch. You can: Phone, e- | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
mail, log on it our Facebook page or send us a tweet. Most people | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
would be able to name the boss of Virgin Airlines, Richard Branson | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
and perhaps the man who runs Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, but how | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
about the top person at easyJet? Her name is Carolyn McCall. This | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
week she launched a new UK base at Southend Airport. Shaun Peel has | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
been with her on the airline's first et flight out to Barcelona. - | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
- flight out to Barcelona. Carolyn McCall has always been a high flyer. | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
This week she announced ten routes out of Southend, that is 70 flights | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
a week. It's opportunistic Southend for us. Because the capacity is | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
constrained in London, actually putting capacity into Southend | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
helps that. It's very easy to get to Liverpool Street, over an hour | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
straight from the plane to Liverpool Street. Some have | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
questioned the wisdom of populating a flight Pathe cross 20,000 people. | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
The campaign group Stop Airport Expansion Now. After a while in the | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
wilder nest, Southend is growing with its new partner but promises | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
not to outgrow its welcome. We are trying to get to a stage where we | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
are 10% the size of Stansted in ten years' time. We want it to be an | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
enjoyable airport. McCall has been the boss of easyJet for two years. | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
She says she likes to walk in her customer's shoes and they don't | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
like the stress of queuing for seats. Some avoid her airline | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
because of. It today, they have announced they will trial a system | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
of seat allocation on certain routes. The only reason we are | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
doing it because all our research says that people want to be able to | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
pre-book a seat they know the seats they like. That's what they've told | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
us. Are you putting your elbow in the water here? Is there more that | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
could be done with Southend? will bring in and taking out about | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
a million passengers in the first year. We will hope to grow that. We | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
will wait and see. We will test routes. Make sure some routes work. | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
Some routes might not work. We will keep adding or amending what we do. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
One hour and 50 minutes from Southend, touch down in Barcelona. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
By tradition, the fire service on the ground christen the new arrival, | :25:45. | :25:55. | |

Alex for the weather: what a beautiful day it has been. Easy to | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
forget it's still March. If we start with the pressure shart chart. | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
We have high pressure across the British isles. Tonight's chart, | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
with clear skies that we had today, it will get chilly. During tonight | :26:18. | :26:27. | |
it could get down to freezing or just below. Minus one is expected | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
in the wetion of the region, holding up at two Seles shus | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
further east. Tomorrow, it will be a bit of a chilly start to the day. | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
We could see remarkable highs tomorrow. Up to 21 Celsius. With | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
more of a westerly wind that means on the coast we could see highs of | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
about 18 Celsius where it's been fresher there today. In the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
afternoon it will be fine and dry. If we look ahead to our next | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
pressure chart the area of high pressure starts to move to the west. | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
What this does, it brings up -- sets up a northerly wind. It will | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
cool things down. The next few days, fine and dry. Increasing amounts of | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
cloud for Thursday and Friday. By the weekend potentially patchy rain. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
It won't amount to very much on Saturday. Some places may miss it | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
altogether. Quite a bit cooler by the weekend. High of 10 Celsius by | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Saturday much we will notice the difference. Those are the overnight | :27:32. | :27:35. |
