Susie and me. The headlines tonight: Sacked. The school dinner lady who | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
served a pork lunch to a Muslim child. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
After a year of public criticism and internal upheavals, the Ambulance | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Service for this region makes a fresh start. Key parts of our plans | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
are aggregated more resources on the road and to patients. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Giving nature a helping hand to restore our rivers with eels. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
And the newest Royal grandparents pay a trip to a soggy Sandringham | :00:37. | :00:47. | |

Flower Show. Hello. A school catering company is | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
standing by its decision tonight to sack a dinner lady after she served | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
a pork dish to a Muslim pupil. Alison Waldock says it was an honest | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
mistake, but she was suspended from work at a primary school in | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
Cambridge when the pupil's parents complained. As part of their | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
beliefs, Muslims are not allowed to eat pork. Mrs Waldock had worked as | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
a dinner lady for 11 years until she was dismissed for gross misconduct. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
One Muslim group described that as "harsh". | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
The website says the school has a diverse catchment area and that its | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
family speak 28 languages. Today, in a national newspaper, one of its | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
dinner ladies claimed that she lost her job because he accidentally | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
served a Muslim child pork. She says the child pointed at it and she put | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
it on his plate. His parents reportedly complained. Today, some | :01:49. | :01:58. | |
questioned whether she should have lost her job. I think nation -- an | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
explanation and understanding, perhaps. It seems a bit over the | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
top. They should have told her aside, have a chat with her. Just | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
give her a warning. Nobody wait, I'm sure, give a child food that they | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
should not be having for health or religious reasons. I tend to lean on | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
the side of leniency. This was a letter she was sent by her | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
employers. It said the main issue at a disciplinary hearing will be | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
feeding damage to Muslim students. -- pork meat. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Allison told me that she was not able to do a television interview | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
today, but that she believes what has happened to her is unfair. A | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
member of the Masonic community disagreed with her sacking, but says | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
there must be more education. could be the Jewish faith or the | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
vegetarian lifestyle, or an allergy to nuts. If it was an allergy, it | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
could be devastating. Alison was implied by a company called | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Lunchtime UK. It said it would not dismiss an employee because of one | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
honest mistake. Jeanette Wheeler is a specialist in | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
:03:39. | :03:40. | ||
employment law. Is saying it was an accident at the fence? -- at | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
defence. It can be. The question is if this lady being scapegoated? | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
shouldn't the school and the company, should be not be taking | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
responsibility for it? Should they not have systems in place? | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Certainly. And the school ultimately has a responsibility towards | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
children. So they must have confidence that the caterers are | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
putting in place grid systems. So, they may look at the employer. It is | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
essential that employers set out good practices. It is a health and | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
safety situation here. It is very important that they have checked the | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
situation out. Then, they must make sure that the employees know the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
rules and know how it operates and so on. And those rules must be very | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
specific. Perhaps the child should be identifiable by wearing a badge | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
or something if they have special requirements. You would expect it to | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
be a straightforward system in place. We do not know exactly what | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
system is in place. But it does seem that something has fallen down | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
somewhere. It is very important that the employer, as part of this | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
investigation, checks out the situation. Have they failed in some | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
way to train people? Or, is that somebody who knew what to do but | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
just did not? This is a person who is taking responsibility for | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
something, right at the bottom of the page. If you have got that | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
responsibility, as you do not be paid accordingly? I think that is | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
our moral as much as a legal question. People say if you have a | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
responsible job, you should be paid accordingly. But we want children to | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
have access to affordable school lunches, so there is always that | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
tension in this particular situation. In these kinds of | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
circumstances, what can this dinner lady now do? She can see to go to an | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
employment tribunal. The employment tribunal will not substitute its own | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
view for that of the employer. Provided they imply has acted | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
reasonably, having investigated all the facts, it will not substitute | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
its own view I say that something was unfair or fair. It will look in | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
some detail at the process that the company followed and also the | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
reasonableness of the claim. That word keeps coming up. | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
Reasonableness. Yes.Becky very much. -- thank you very much. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
After a rough year, with failures to meet response times and high level | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
resignations, the East of England Ambulance Trust has held its annual | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
public meeting today. The trust has been explaining how it intends to | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
improve performance and regain public trust. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
An MP who accused water companies of "ripping off customers" has been | :06:29. | :06:39. | |
:06:39. | :06:39. | ||
forced to admit that one of the figures in his report is wrong. -- | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
two new interim heads for the East of England Ambulance Service have | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
been brought in, both with senior experience in the NHS. The chairman | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
said there had been 46 applications for the roles and that interviews | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
with to be underweight but wait -- soon be under way. We need to get a | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
team in place and make sure that we immediately begin to turn around | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
something which has taken quite a long while to develop. Issues in a | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Trust like this do not happen overnight. We are a too big a | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
difference. That is what I have always been committed to in the | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
NHS, making a difference for patients. A public presentation this | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
afternoon was attended by three of the region's MPs. The interim Chief | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Executive set a course of building public confidence. The aim is to, | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
through proper leadership, to make sure our response to patients is | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
better than it has been. Avril points -- our response to patients | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
should be about timeliness and compassion. Today was also a shop | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
window for the Ambulance Service. They set up a major exhibition of | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
their work. This Trust is actively seeking more community first | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
responders, volunteers trained to provide vital local care while an | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
ambulance is on his way. We provide a training course that change them | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
on everything they need to know to be a first responder and give them | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
the training and the confidence to go out there and to save lives. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Volunteers are urgently needed as part of the Trust's determination to | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
listen to its staff more carefully and put more resources on the front | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
nine. -- line. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
An MP who accused water companies of "ripping off customers" has been | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
forced to admit that one of the figures in his report is wrong. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Robert Halfon, the MP for Harlow, claimed that pay and bonuses for | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
directors at Affinity Water had almost doubled over the last four | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
years. The company says the total bill for Director's salaries is | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
actually coming down. It is a report already causing | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
trouble within the industry. It produced figures that show while | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
water bills have got up, executive A and bonuses at the region's water | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
companies had gone up more. In many cases they have doubled in the past | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
five years. Consumers have been let down. It is wrong. One of those | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
companies was Affinity Wattage, which supplies many homes in Essex. | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
It was claimed that while their prices had gone up 16%, their | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
:09:36. | :09:47. | ||
bonuses had almost doubled. However, normally-reliable House Of Commons | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
Library. It is possible they were looking at another company. But he | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
insists that his report is still relevant. I absolutely stand by the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
thrust of the report, which is that bills have been going up | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
significantly for consumers, right across the eastern region and in a | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
number of companies, directors have been getting a significant amount of | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
renumeration. He says no other company has taken issue with his | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
figures. He will continue his campaign after the summer. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
51-year-old Malcolm Pratt was found seriously injured a fortnight ago at | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
his home at Gorleston in Norfolk. He died last Friday in Addenbrooke's | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
Hospital. Two men and a woman are now being questioned. | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Inspectors say that more needs to be done to stop violence at a young | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
offenders institution at Hollesley Bay in Suffolk. The report says | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
despite improvements at Warren Hill, the number of violent incidents is | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
very high. Some were serious, with inmates needing hospital treatment. | :10:50. | :11:00. | |
:11:00. | :11:01. | ||
In six months there were 48 attacks on staff. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
I wonder if you know what a "thankful" village is? It's a | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
village where all the young men who went off to fight during the First | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
World War returned home safely. Across the whole country, there are | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
about 50 thankful villages. And all of them are getting a visit by a | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
charity team of bikers. As Kevin Burch reports, today they made their | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
way to a remote corner of Suffolk. This village is tiny and hidden, | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
most of the time. Apart from those scratching, scoffing, and scuttling | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
past, all is still. There are virtually no amenities. The church | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
is the focal point, but even here, the lighting is provided by oil | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
lamps. But this place is rich in history. It is twice a thankful | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
Village. It is quite unusual. There are only 14 in the country. We said | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
11 of in the First World War and seven in the second, and they all | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
came back. It is especially poignant to this man, who has several links. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
Her father fought in the First World War. My father worked on the land. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
That is why he went into the transport battalions. These people | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
were just ordinary people. They were not qualified women first joined up. | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
Aside, locals have grown foods -- outside, locals have gathered to | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
greet the charity bikers. The team finally arrived in numbers today. | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
The group, including this man and his multicoloured beard, set off | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
from Wales five days ago, and this top reprimands the halfway stage in | :12:48. | :12:57. | |
what will be a check of some two point 5000 miles. -- 2500 miles. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
That is very important. Thank God these young men came back to tell | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
the story of what went on. We needed to know. And these guys came back | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
and told us. APPLAUSE | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
The stock lasted around half an hour, and then they had to leave | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
again. They said the support they have received from the thankful | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
villagers has been overwhelming. They say it is a piece of history | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
:13:38. | :13:43. | ||
Still to come tonight, more evidence that broccoli really is good for | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
you. And we are at a soggy Sandringham Flower Show along with | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
the new Royal grandparents. Our special report tonight is all | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
about eels. Here's a fact. In Europe, the eel population has | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
collapsed by 95 per cent in just 15 years. But things are changing. Five | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
years ago a system was set up to help baby eels - elvers - to travel | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
up the River Great Ouse. It was to ensure a greater chance of survival. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
In the last year the Environment Agency has reported the highest | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
numbers since the 1970s. Characteristically determined. These | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
squiggly baby eels want nothing more than to migrate, even if it means | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
scaling the dizzy heights of this metal drum. In fact, they are caught | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
in an elver trap, collected each morning and deposited on the other | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
side of these eel-impassable sluice gates. This method helps them get up | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
river and is crucial for their survival. It is really important for | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
them to find the right kind of habitat that the adults like. This | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
tends to make much further up the river. The great news is that it is | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
a really long river and that if they can get up where the density of | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
elvers are lower, there will be a greater good source for them as | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
well. In the past year the catch at Brownshill Sluice in Cambridgeshire | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
has gone up from 1000 to 16000 a day. The slow moving waters of last | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
year's drought have given these poor swimmers a better chance. They could | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
reach a metre in length, and live for 50 years. These little guys were | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
born in the Bermuda Triangle. They then travelled on the Gulf Stream, | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
finally turning into elvers around the coastlines of Europe. How old do | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
you think they are? Three weeks? Three months? They are actually | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
three years old. As natural scavengers, eels keep the river | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
clean. Without them the ecosystem would become unbalanced. Efforts are | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
being made across Europe to prevent extinction. Now single factor is | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
killing them. Because they have such a complex life cycle, so many things | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
can have an influence. Climate change, ocean currents, or | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
provisioning, and what we have seen here today is our efforts to ease | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
their passage through river structures. It's been a marathon | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
journey for these baby eels. The final hurdle? An uphill wriggle on | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
the elver passage. And then they're off to freshwater freedom. | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
Broccoli is often described as a super food and for good reason. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
According to scientists in Norwich, eating your "greens" really is good | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
for you. Scientists at The Institute of Food Research have published a | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
study which found one particular variety of broccoli can rejuvenate | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
our metabolism as we get older. It increases the rate at which our | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
cells process fats and sugars. It also helps to reduce levels of fatty | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
acids in people's blood. Professor Richard Mithen led the research | :16:50. | :17:00. | |
:17:00. | :17:02. | ||
team. So, why is that important? we get older, our body start not | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
working quite as well as they used to, especially if we do not take | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
enough exercise. We also tend to eat a little bit too much fat and sugar | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
and our body must process all at this. So having broccoli, it just | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
keeps our machinery working well. It is a bit like if you have a car and | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
the car gets old, you may have to beat June. Eating broccoli seems to | :17:22. | :17:32. | |
:17:32. | :17:41. | ||
be June as. -- June as. -- help us. How does normal broccoli helped? | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
Many studies have shown that eating things that broccoli and cabbage | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
reduces your chances of cancer and other things. You must eat them a | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
lot. Over many years, we have developed a new kind of broccoli | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
that has a high level of a particular compound that you can eat | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
two or three times a week and probably get the same benefit of | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
eating normal broccoli or cabbage for or five times a week. We have | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
all met the people who say they do not like meat they do not like | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
vegetables. So, people do not like vegetables, what risks are they | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
facing? There is no magic bullet in diet, and what we want to encourage | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
people to do to lead a healthy lifestyle, there are lots of studies | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
that say to have plenty of fruit and vegetables in your diet, perhaps a | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
little bit less red meat and saturated fat, take some exercise, | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
you will maintain health and keep good health as you age. A little bit | :18:35. | :18:43. | |
of broccoli will do a let -- an excellent little bit of help. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
think there will be more interest for farmers to grow this special new | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
broccoli and supermarkets to sell it? Because it is only available in | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
a few areas. I think so. It has only been available for about one you. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
When you have a new variety, it takes a long time to get the seats. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
We have two growers in the country, they are based in East Anglia. But | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
as the demand build-up and as there are more seats, hopefully, it will | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
become more available. What surprised you in these figures? | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
did not quite expect the extent of the changes we would see. We took a | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
study where we look at blood and measured 400 different chemicals in | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
the blood and many of them, perhaps 200, should some changes, but | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
particularly the facts. We were not really expecting that. Having done | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
that now, we understand why broccoli has many health benefits. More and | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
more is now being found about the effect of food on things like | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
cancer. Yes. And here in Norwich, we are world leaders. Much of our | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
research is focused on how having a good diet can help reduce the risk | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
of things like cancer and heart disease. This is what we need to do | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
with an ageing population and a strained NHS. Thank you. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |

were thousands of people here today, 20,000, but many of them have | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
now gone home. Many today enjoyed the event and had the opportunity to | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
congratulate a well-known pair of grandparents. | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
It was our umbrellas all round, but they did not dampen the spirits of | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
those waiting to see the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, | :21:10. | :21:14. | |

because I am a grandad. It has rained today, but not on previous | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
years. We wished him congratulations on the baby. He said that he hopes | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
we have really nice grandparents. And we do. They are here today as | :21:39. | :21:46. | |

:22:06. | :22:06. | ||
Duchess. In the WI tent, he was given a handmade baby scarf, while | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
the Duchess made some purchases. APPLAUSE | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
She usually makes one or two purchases. She likes to buy bits of | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
plans. The Duke seemed interested in the softcopy. And the Duchess boss | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
:22:37. | :22:40. | ||
muffins? Yes. She usually has some when she comes. This two-year-old | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
bird is in the process of becoming the RAF's official mascot. | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
We wanted to give her a special identity. There are bad has an eagle | :22:56. | :23:06. | |

Actor you and your lovely dry studio. -- back to you. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Does that for now it is not allowed to block its wings at the future | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
King? And you've noticed some very nice flowers. Mine has died because | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
of the warm weather. But of course, we have had some warm rain today. | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
we have had some warm rain today. Before the forecast, someone's being | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Before the forecast, someone's Believe it or not, this otter wasn't | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
filmed out in the wilds of the countryside, but right in the heart | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
of Thetford in Norfolk. It shows no fear of humans and features in a | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
special BBC East programme tomorrow night immediately after Look East | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
here on BBC One. It's called the Urban Jungle and features some | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:30. | ||
incredible creatures living right in the centre of our towns and cities. | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
We have only been here for few minutes. The otter is just under | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:46. | ||
there. There he is! Got him. Amazing. He is leaving the water. | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Fantastic! So that is tomorrow night immediately after Look East. Now, | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
courtesy of a warm front, we have had some rain today. This is the | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
movement of that rain. Much of it is light and patchy but there have been | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
some heavier bits mixed in. Much of it has now cleared away to the | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
North. We have got a few showers following in behind. To the south, | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
well, some breaks in the cloud. Some others can see some evening | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
sunshine. What is also happening is that lined up and bring, we have got | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
much warmer air pushing in. Once the last of any showers and rain have | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
gone, it is a dry night. I mentioned once they are. It will be a pretty | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
sticky night tonight. Many of us will not get below 70 degrees. The | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
wind will generally be light. -- 17 degrees. Tomorrow, we have got this | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
weather front coming up the western side. We are in between high and low | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
pressure and for us, if you like it one and sunny, you are in luck. It | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
will be hot for some of us. Once the mist is gone, we are looking at and | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
of a lot of sunshine. Inland, that sunshine could take temperatures as | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
high as 31 Celsius, which is 88 Fahrenheit. We have got very humid | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:17. | ||
air, so it is going to be a pity the day. If you want to escape the heat, | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
head for the East Coast, because here temperatures will be a little | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
bit lower. So quite pleasant, and not as humid. The winds and light to | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
moderate. It will be one of those days when inland it will feel like | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
being under a one hairdryer, so not a lot of relief from the winds in | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
mind tomorrow. So a bit patchy cloud tomorrow evening, but a good of | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
sunshine. As we head into Friday, it does look like there is a front | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
coming in from the West, introducing more in the way of cloud. There is | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
plenty of sunshine. I have picked a dry symbol on their, but there is | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
still a small chance of boundary showers moving up from France on | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
Friday. We will keep you posted. And on Saturday, a fresher feel to | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
things, much more comfortable. Plenty of sunshine but also a | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
scattering of showers. And then by Sunday, we should lose the showers. | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
They should be a dry day. We should have some decent spells of warm | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
sunshine. The high will be around 23 degrees. The winds will mainly be | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
light. And by then, after a few hot and sticky nights, it should just | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
become a bit more comfortable, temperatures around 40 degrees at | :27:30. | :27:38. |
