Hello and welcome to Look East. With Stewart and me. The headlines

:00:07.:00:14.

tonight: Another blow for the beleaguered schools in Suffolk. The

:00:14.:00:18.

official watchdog says one third of the primaries are not good enough.

:00:18.:00:24.

Some headteachers disagree. Does this feel like a witchhunt? You have

:00:24.:00:31.

hit the nail on the head. Police raids across the region today

:00:31.:00:35.

to find the gangs who tagetted treasures in museums. —— targeted.

:00:35.:00:40.

Appearing in court. The radio presenter accused of using his

:00:40.:00:47.

celebrity to sexually abuse young boys. And a new exhibition called

:00:47.:00:53.

masterpieces tells the story of Art in East Anglia.

:00:53.:01:04.

They only went back a week ago but the troubled schools in Suffolk have

:01:04.:01:12.

already run into their first set—back.

:01:12.:01:13.

Ofsted, the official schools watchdog, chose this week to launch

:01:13.:01:16.

a programme of intensive inspections of Suffolk's schools. New figures

:01:16.:01:20.

from Ofsted show that 30 per cent of children in Suffolk go to a primary

:01:20.:01:24.

school that is not good enough compared to 21 per cent nationally.

:01:24.:01:27.

In Suffolk that translates to 76 schools and more than 15,000 pupils.

:01:27.:01:31.

In a moment we'll speak to Ofsted, but first this from our Suffolk

:01:31.:01:35.

reporter Kevin Burch. Education officials in Suffolk say

:01:35.:01:38.

they're already committed to driving up standards with their own plan.

:01:38.:01:44.

Raising the Bar. But now Ofsted is breathing firmly down its neck with

:01:44.:01:48.

this extensive check—up, involving all types of schools, but mainly

:01:48.:01:54.

primaries. I have no problems about being audited. Ken Marrable's head

:01:54.:01:58.

of Morland Primary in Ipswich. He's not expecting a visit, but says the

:01:58.:02:02.

inspectors popped in anyway this May, at a day's notice. They felt

:02:02.:02:05.

the school required improvement. Despite the fact that it's ranked in

:02:05.:02:10.

the top 25% of primaries in the country for pupil progress. We all

:02:10.:02:16.

try very hard, we are working collectively for the children. It is

:02:16.:02:20.

a hackneyed expression that some people think they have discovered,

:02:20.:02:24.

the school is for the children, but in Suffolk we all believe that.

:02:24.:02:30.

Ofsted come in and make a judgement and go, they leave school and the

:02:30.:02:35.

teachers to pick up the pieces. Ofsted's intervention in Suffolk

:02:35.:02:38.

follows a similar move in July over secondary schools in Norfolk. And

:02:38.:02:43.

the man at the top says it's clear both areas need urgent help. People

:02:43.:02:48.

think that because it is a mace and leafy and pretty part of the world

:02:48.:02:52.

that children are doing well, but they are not. In Suffolk, they are

:02:52.:02:58.

already trying to widen the pool of expertise by forming links with

:02:58.:03:00.

schools in London. We filmed at one of them in Hackney in May.

:03:00.:03:02.

It is just one of a range of proposals, but is the package

:03:02.:03:07.

working. —— is the package working and bearing fruit? That is what

:03:07.:03:13.

Ofsted will be trying to assess. And it is warning that if there aren't

:03:13.:03:17.

signs of a turnaround, it wil turn the spotlight onto education

:03:17.:03:20.

officials to see if they're the real problem. We have had some really

:03:20.:03:24.

significant increases in terms of the results that young people are

:03:24.:03:27.

gaining in Suffolk, but they are not keeping up with national levels of

:03:27.:03:32.

attainment and we must make sure we reach and surpass that. Does this

:03:32.:03:37.

feel like a witchhunt? You have hit the nail on the head, absolutely.

:03:37.:03:41.

Ofsted says it is looking to get a powerful snapshot of what's

:03:41.:03:44.

happening. As well as face—to—face inspections, it'll be carrying out a

:03:44.:03:48.

phone survey with other schools too. Sean Harford is the regional

:03:48.:03:51.

director for Ofsted. And when I spoke to him earlier, I put it to

:03:51.:03:55.

him that education officials in Suffolk already had an action plan

:03:55.:03:58.

to improve the county's schools. Suffolk, in common with the rest of

:03:58.:04:06.

the East of England is actually improving at the slower rate than

:04:06.:04:11.

the rest of the country in this past year. By pooling these inspections

:04:11.:04:15.

together we want to be able to get under the skin of what is going on

:04:15.:04:19.

and hopefully be exempted —— hopefully be helpful in identifying

:04:19.:04:23.

patterns were schools and local authorities could improve for young

:04:23.:04:28.

people. Many schools with in fear of Ofsted inspections, we have heard

:04:28.:04:32.

from a schoolteacher seeing that this feels like a witchhunt and the

:04:32.:04:37.

Nu Tis says that this will hit morale badly. Make this backfire? It

:04:37.:04:44.

is very important to understand that these inspections would have

:04:44.:04:48.

happened anyway. All we have done is to pull them together into a

:04:48.:04:52.

concentrated period of a couple of weeks, so for the teachers in the

:04:52.:04:58.

school it will make no difference. Those inspections would have

:04:58.:05:01.

happened anyway and they should see no difference and they should not

:05:01.:05:06.

fear it. They should just go about their work and the inspectors will

:05:06.:05:10.

observe and draw the conclusions. It is interesting that this is a region

:05:10.:05:14.

that is not improving as well as other regions. How can something be

:05:14.:05:19.

regionwide like that when every county is run in a different county

:05:19.:05:23.

council? There is evidence to suggest from surveys and reports

:05:23.:05:27.

that coastal towns are struggling, something it's difficult to attract

:05:27.:05:33.

good teachers, and that could be a factor in all of this. The thing is,

:05:33.:05:39.

the people in charge of education and the schools themselves need to

:05:39.:05:46.

do all they can to attract teachers and get the best deal for children

:05:46.:05:49.

in the school. We deserve as good an education as anyone in the country.

:05:49.:05:54.

We are seeing a lot more from Ofsted these days, is there a real push to

:05:54.:06:00.

get in there and be more controversial and stick your neck

:06:00.:06:04.

out more about schools you do not think I doing well? We are

:06:04.:06:09.

passionate about education and we are passionate about getting better

:06:09.:06:15.

services for children. We think it is very important to stimulate

:06:15.:06:19.

debate because we think that when people are interested and have the

:06:19.:06:25.

facts behind them to do with the services we all use then they will

:06:25.:06:29.

be more informed. That is what we are trying to do. Thank you very

:06:29.:06:33.

much. 19 people have been arrested today

:06:33.:06:35.

across the country in connection with a number of break—ins at

:06:35.:06:39.

museums including the Castle Museum in Norwich and the Fitzwilliam in

:06:39.:06:41.

Cambridge. Our reporter Mike Cartwright was with the police for a

:06:41.:06:51.

dawn raid in Cambridgeshire. Strike was the code word that

:06:51.:06:55.

triggered simultaneous raids across the country. Near Cambridge,

:06:55.:07:02.

officers raided a travellers site. They are making phone calls, the art

:07:02.:07:07.

on the phone. Inside this caravan are three men they want to question.

:07:07.:07:12.

Officers moved in and make the arrest. More than 30 officers were

:07:12.:07:18.

involved in the raids. Across the site, another arrest. Handcuffed,

:07:18.:07:23.

the man is led from a caravan and driven from the site in question.

:07:23.:07:27.

Officers were targeting five people in these rates, so far they have

:07:27.:07:33.

made for rest. These officers are on guard waiting for specialist search

:07:33.:07:38.

teams to come in. The operation was carried out after a series of high

:07:38.:07:43.

value read in museums. It increase was due to pieces still museums ——

:07:43.:07:52.

18 jade pieces were stolen from the fit William Museum, and months

:07:52.:07:56.

before there was a failed attempt to steal this rhino horn. There was a

:07:56.:08:02.

substantial reward offered for the recovery of these artefacts, clearly

:08:02.:08:06.

of massive value. We are determined to carry out the work, deal with the

:08:06.:08:12.

offenders and recover the goods. After the raids, 19 people are no in

:08:12.:08:20.

custody. This involves Essex, the West Midlands and Northern Ireland.

:08:20.:08:23.

A national crackdown on those thought to be conspiring to steal

:08:23.:08:27.

some of the country's most valuable artefacts.

:08:27.:08:29.

A former BBC radio presenter was accused today of having a "deviant"

:08:29.:08:33.

sexual obsession with young boys. Mike Souter, who used to work for

:08:33.:08:38.

Radio Norfolk, was said to have used his celebrity status to abuse seven

:08:38.:08:42.

boys aged between 11 and sixteen. Our reporter Jenny Kirk was at

:08:42.:08:46.

Norwich crown court for the start of the trial.

:08:46.:08:49.

Mike Souter arrived at court today to hear the prosecution open its

:08:49.:08:52.

case against him. The former Radio Norfolk DJ, who is

:08:52.:08:56.

now 60, faces 19 charges of sexual assault spanning 20 years. The

:08:56.:08:59.

Prosecution said Mr Souter deliberately created situations

:08:59.:09:03.

where he'd be in contact with young boys, some of whom were "vulnerable

:09:03.:09:07.

and pliable". The court was told this included setting up a Scout

:09:07.:09:11.

Group in Norwich. And becoming a mentor for children in care. The

:09:11.:09:16.

alleged victims are now aged 28 to 48. The prosecution claim Mr Souter

:09:16.:09:20.

used many of the same grooming techniques on the boys before going

:09:21.:09:25.

on to assault them. One alleged victim told police the abuse was, in

:09:25.:09:30.

his words, "relentless". Another claims he even stole bromide from

:09:30.:09:35.

his school to try and dampen Mr Souter's sexual appetite. When did

:09:35.:09:45.

these allegations first surfaced? The court heard that complaints were

:09:46.:09:50.

made to the police and social services about Michael Souter in

:09:50.:09:54.

1993 and 2002.But he wasn't arrested until 2011 after three men had come

:09:54.:09:59.

forward. In his police interview Mr Souter said he was "staggered" by

:09:59.:10:03.

the allegations and claimed the men were conspiring against him. But

:10:03.:10:06.

today the prosecutor poured scorn on that, saying it was highly unlikely

:10:06.:10:10.

that seven men, born in three different decades, would all invent

:10:10.:10:13.

similar stories. He said that would make Mr Souter "the unluckiest man

:10:13.:10:17.

alive." And, he told the jury, "lightening doesn't strike seven

:10:17.:10:20.

times." Michael Souter denies all the charges. The case is scheduled

:10:20.:10:26.

to last for six weeks. A teenager could be facing a life

:10:26.:10:30.

sentence after being convicted of murdering of a talented musician and

:10:30.:10:34.

rapper. Thomas Brittain was 26 years old. He was stabbed during a

:10:34.:10:39.

break—in. At a flat in Colchester. —— break—in at a flat in Colchester.

dreamt of a career ending the music industry. He was stabbed to death

:10:53.:10:59.

during a watched burglary. The jury heard that two young men wearing

:10:59.:11:04.

balaclavas burst into the flat shooting police. There was a scuffle

:11:04.:11:10.

during which Thomas was stabbed in the chest. There are three children

:11:10.:11:15.

under five in the flat at the time of the murder. They were killing in

:11:15.:11:19.

a bedroom. The two men captured on CCTV fled and where —— and a manhunt

:11:19.:11:28.

was launched. Jack Thompson denied murder but it took ages 83 and a

:11:28.:11:32.

half hours to conflict him. He grievous bodily harm, possessing a

:11:32.:11:36.

fake gun and aggravated burglary. 19—year—old Andre Villa was cleared

:11:36.:11:45.

of murder but also convicted of Adam —— aggravated burglary and having a

:11:45.:11:50.

fake gun. A policeman who led the investigation spoke of how Thomas's

:11:50.:11:58.

murder affected their family. They have lost a much loved son and

:11:58.:12:04.

brother. We have been so dignified during the trial and I am so

:12:04.:12:07.

grateful for that. I hope that now that the verdict has been given the

:12:07.:12:13.

active in time to grieve in peace. They will be sentenced at a later

:12:13.:12:15.

hearing. Network Rail has been find £125,000

:12:15.:12:19.

following the death of one of its workers in Essex. Malcolm Slater,

:12:19.:12:23.

who was 64, died in 2008 when the aerial platform he was working on

:12:23.:12:27.

sheared off. Network Rail had admitted breaching health and safety

:12:27.:12:30.

regulations. It has also been ordered to pay £85,000 in costs.

:12:30.:12:48.

Still to come, you had your say about the A14.

:12:48.:12:52.

And the treasures from the arts world under one roof for the first

:12:52.:12:56.

time in this region. In Look East last night we had a

:12:56.:13:03.

special report on a plan to recruit more reservists — or part time

:13:03.:13:06.

soldiers — into the Army. The idea is to plug the gaps left behind by

:13:06.:13:10.

cuts to the Regular service. The problem is that it relies on

:13:10.:13:14.

employers releasing their staff to take part in training and

:13:14.:13:17.

operations. Many smaller firms are reluctant, saying it would hit their

:13:17.:13:20.

business. In the second of his special reports, our Defence

:13:20.:13:24.

reporter Alex Dunlop asks if the army and employers have enough "In

:13:24.:13:35.

reserve." What the difference from the day

:13:36.:13:41.

job. What exercise in Croatia, Royal in the reservists in place of the

:13:41.:13:46.

lot and sweat of the vicious work—out. Many like Alvin Rushmere

:13:46.:13:52.

arts year with the blessing of their boss. My job is an office based job

:13:52.:13:57.

and this gets me out onto the adventure takes in and it gives me a

:13:57.:14:02.

little bit of a challenge in life. Back at Eccles in Suffolk, Gavin's

:14:02.:14:08.

colleagues may not get the chance to join him. Only 18 people work here,

:14:08.:14:14.

the firm would struggle with another reserve list on the payroll. The

:14:14.:14:19.

company —— the MoD pays their salary will be our only and compensate

:14:19.:14:23.

employers. Given's employer is quietly as back but think that the

:14:23.:14:27.

government get a better deal than employers. We agree that we should

:14:28.:14:34.

support our reserve forces but there is no effective serious

:14:34.:14:37.

compensation. It would be a drop in the bucket in knowledge into what

:14:37.:14:42.

the potential savings to the MoD are given the scale of defence

:14:42.:14:45.

reductions going through at the moment. In the survey, 58% of small

:14:45.:14:49.

businesses say that the mate employing reservist in the future,

:14:49.:14:55.

36% would not consider it. Two in every five employers say that the

:14:55.:14:59.

proposed changes to reservists council would have a negative impact

:14:59.:15:06.

on them. A reserve list would have a senior role in that business, to

:15:06.:15:12.

replace those skills it would be expensive. The organisation which

:15:12.:15:18.

allow users between employers and the MoD says that future incentives

:15:18.:15:24.

will be far more attractive. The small to medium enterprises,

:15:24.:15:27.

wealthier employee is immobilised, they will get a flat payment of £500

:15:27.:15:32.

per month during that mobilisation period. The region's 2000 reserve is

:15:32.:15:42.

may not be professional soldiers but they bring fresh civilian skills to

:15:42.:15:47.

the battlefield. It is up to the government to convince their bosses

:15:47.:15:50.

that the army could bring added value to them.

:15:50.:15:53.

And tomorrow Alex will be looking at an accusation the army is being

:15:53.:15:57.

'hollowed out' by reducing the number of full time soldiers. And

:15:57.:16:00.

taking on more reservists. —— full—time soldiers and taking on

:16:00.:16:03.

more reservists. Last night, I was on the A14 in

:16:03.:16:08.

Cambridgeshire reporting on the Government plan. For a new toll

:16:08.:16:17.

road. There was a huge response from you. Susie has been going through

:16:17.:16:20.

your comments. Just a reminder that the existing

:16:20.:16:25.

road heads north west from Cambridge towards Huntingdon. Work on the new

:16:25.:16:29.

toll road is due to start in 2016. Many drivers had thought they would

:16:29.:16:33.

still be able to use the old road as an alternative. But a key bridge at

:16:33.:16:37.

Huntingdon is coming to the end of its life and is due to be

:16:37.:16:40.

demolished. Alan Baish spoke for many when he e—mailed to say: "We

:16:40.:16:44.

already pay taxes for the privilege of driving on the highway." And Dave

:16:44.:16:48.

Smith from Rothwell was so angry with the idea of a toll, he wrote in

:16:48.:16:53.

capitals just to make the point: "We have already paid for this A14. No

:16:53.:16:58.

toll." Geoff Fry is a retired sales director from Cambridge. He uses the

:16:58.:17:03.

A14 regularly and like many hates the idea that there may not be an

:17:03.:17:05.

alternative to the new toll road. Like many thousands who moved in

:17:05.:17:10.

this area I believe that having a toll road, I am against the fact

:17:10.:17:18.

that we will not have a choice but to use it. We would have to use the

:17:18.:17:23.

A14 or have nothing. There has been a lot of reaction from politicians

:17:23.:17:28.

about the prospect of only 14 tour, Huntingdon —— the MP for Huntingdon

:17:28.:17:35.

likes the idea. But first the Northampton MP. The taxpayers paid

:17:35.:17:40.

for this road, they paid for the infrastructure and I do not think we

:17:40.:17:46.

can take it away on what seems to be a ruse to get people onto the toll

:17:46.:17:51.

road. It is good news for the whole region, by 2025 we are expecting 20

:17:51.:17:58.

or 25% more traffic on the A14 than currently exists in the situation

:17:58.:18:02.

will become impossible. We must have a solution. We had a lot of reaction

:18:02.:18:08.

on the East Facebook page, all comments bar one where critical of

:18:08.:18:13.

the proposals. Terry Christie said, the new road will speed up the

:18:13.:18:19.

journey, will be shorter and will most likely use less fuel. Those

:18:19.:18:23.

short—sighted people who say they will find an alternative route

:18:23.:18:28.

should have a rethink. The last word goes to Mick Barrett who said,

:18:28.:18:33.

crazy, I will take the other routes as I do with the M6 toll, as HTV 's

:18:33.:18:36.

do. I'm sure you saw those scenes of joy

:18:36.:18:42.

in Tokyo last weekend after it was selected to host the Olympic Games

:18:42.:18:46.

in 2020. But there was disappointment for our top squash

:18:46.:18:49.

players because their sport won't be included in the games. Our sports

:18:49.:18:52.

editor Jonathan Park is at a squash club in Cambridgeshire. Welcome to

:18:52.:19:03.

the Hunts County club near Huntingdon. It is one of the best

:19:04.:19:09.

squash clubs in the region. Many of these youngsters on court tonight,

:19:09.:19:13.

they are simply brushing up their skills and will not be worrying too

:19:13.:19:18.

much about the Olympic Games in 2020. But for one of the region's

:19:18.:19:24.

top players, the sport not making at 22020 as a bit of a blow to him. I

:19:24.:19:33.

would happily trade all of my seven titles for an Olympic Games gold

:19:33.:19:38.

medal. Not even squash's biggest games could convince the Olympic top

:19:38.:19:43.

table that it deserves an invitation to the games in 2020. Three times

:19:43.:19:49.

the sport has tried, three times the door has been slammed shut. It was

:19:49.:19:54.

four years of hard work from players, officials, everyone. You

:19:54.:19:59.

feel like you have been banging your head against the back wall. Darryl

:20:00.:20:03.

is one of Britain's's finest, you thought Olympic recognition would

:20:03.:20:08.

take squash the new level. The IOC wanted a new sport but wrestling has

:20:08.:20:13.

made it back in the state having been dropped earlier in the year. It

:20:13.:20:17.

is unfortunate the way the procedure happened, we took wrestling out in

:20:17.:20:22.

the first place and made an example of it together in the ticking off

:20:22.:20:27.

for not filling in any form right or something. It is a shame for squash,

:20:27.:20:31.

we were the scapegoats. Squash has done much in recent years to make it

:20:31.:20:37.

more TV friendly, glass courts and video review technology has been

:20:38.:20:43.

introduced. In May the five countries seem to agree that squash

:20:43.:20:49.

is attractive. They will keep trying for an Olympic inclusion. It is a

:20:49.:20:54.

bar of course, we have been trying for years to get into the Olympics

:20:54.:21:00.

and this has not stopped squash from growing. There are more people

:21:00.:21:03.

playing squash now than ever before. In terms of a hammer blow, yes, it

is able but we will grow as a sport. It will be 11 years before squash

:21:08.:21:14.

get an Olympic opportunity, at the earliest. But Darryl will get the

:21:14.:21:18.

chance to show Commonwealth audiences just what exciting sport

:21:18.:21:24.

it is. Let's get some reaction from the head coach, James.

:21:24.:21:29.

Disappointment? Very disappointed. A huge disappointment for squash. We

:21:29.:21:36.

will keep trying. Squash will get in one day. As you can see, we have a

:21:36.:21:40.

thriving junior squash environment and hopefully this will continue.

:21:40.:21:45.

Taylor, one of the country's best young players. You must be

:21:45.:21:50.

disappointed. I was very disappointed considering squash is

:21:50.:21:53.

such a good sport for everyone. It is upsetting not to be in. Echoes a

:21:53.:21:59.

gladiatorial contest, squash, so they will keep trying.

:21:59.:22:02.

It's been described as the most ambitious art exhibition ever to be

:22:02.:22:06.

staged in our region. Called 'Masterpieces', it's on for nearly

:22:06.:22:09.

six months at the Sainsbury Centre on the UEA campus in Norwich. It

:22:09.:22:14.

doesn't open to the public until the weekend, but we've been for an early

:22:14.:22:21.

look. As Mike Liggins reports. It includes work by some very famous

:22:21.:22:28.

names. It took two years to put together and the masterpieces

:22:28.:22:30.

exhibition is East Anglia and heart's greatest hits.

:22:30.:22:36.

But unlike those, —— unlike those music compilations where you get

:22:36.:22:41.

some hits and some dodgy tracks no one really wants, with Masterpieces

:22:41.:22:45.

the hits keep on coming. How did they decide on what to put in and

:22:45.:22:51.

leave out? We had a lot of faith in a lot of debates and occasionally

:22:51.:22:55.

things just could not travel. They were stuck down or too heavy or too

:22:55.:22:59.

fragile. Virtually everything that we really needed and wanted from all

:22:59.:23:05.

over the world is here. It came. And if it is big names you want here are

:23:05.:23:10.

one or two for starters. A painter Sophie Missi only need one name,

:23:11.:23:16.

timer. And John Constable. —— Turner. His parents garden painted

:23:16.:23:23.

six years before his heyday. There are many great stories, including

:23:23.:23:27.

this roster of the Emperor Claudius, stolen from the Romans in Colchester

:23:27.:23:32.

by Boudicca's army and then discovered in the Suffolk River in

:23:32.:23:38.

1907. Ian Collins is the cheerleader of Masterpieces, he has lived in

:23:38.:23:45.

this exhibition for two years and is so enthusiastic he wanted us to

:23:45.:23:48.

feature everything. We don't have time! But what about that Turner?

:23:49.:23:54.

This shoe is spectacular and this combination is a spectacle in

:23:54.:23:57.

itself. It is Turner painting a wonderful picture in 1831 and next

:23:57.:24:03.

to it we have a great knowledge school painter painting possibly the

:24:03.:24:10.

same storm over Yarmouth in 1831. That is a complete knockout. I want

:24:10.:24:16.

everyone to come, I would say that but this is a show for everyone.

:24:16.:24:20.

This is not the conventional art show, it is a show for people who

:24:20.:24:25.

have not been to an exhibition. It is about everything that has

:24:25.:24:28.

happened in East Anglia. There have been many surprises in the

:24:28.:24:31.

exhibition, who would have thought this painting of Lowestoft harbour

:24:31.:24:36.

would have been painted by LS Lowry? The exhibition also has an

:24:36.:24:42.

interesting idea on what can be art, as the Gainsborough and acts, which

:24:42.:24:49.

is 700,000 years old, set next to place was works of art. What about

:24:49.:24:55.

this? They will just take 72, arguably the greatest racing car of

:24:55.:25:02.

all time. —— Lotus 72. Masterpieces opens at the city centre on

:25:02.:25:05.

Saturday. If you want to hear my opinion, I do

:25:05.:25:16.

not think that was the best racing car. What do you think? This

:25:16.:25:22.

exhibition is something else. This has painting after extraordinary

:25:22.:25:26.

painting. I could not possibly tell you my favourite but I recommend you

get tender. Quite a shift in our weather this

:25:29.:25:37.

weekend, and outdo last week, a changeable week is forecast and

:25:37.:25:43.

today a case in point. We have a succession of Atlantic weather

:25:43.:25:47.

fronts lining up so we will see some further unsettled weather but today

:25:47.:25:52.

has not been great. It has been dominated by this large blow to our

:25:52.:25:58.

least, it has brought wind and rain and cloud and it has not been very

:25:58.:26:02.

pleasant. We are still recording wind speeds in excess of 30 mph.

:26:02.:26:07.

Much of this rain is becoming more patchy, but we will see some further

:26:07.:26:11.

outbreaks of rain particularly across the eastern half across the

:26:11.:26:16.

region for the next few hours. The wins will gradually ease but

:26:16.:26:21.

certainly quite a breeze for this evening at the first part of the

:26:22.:26:25.

night. There will be some cloud around so it will not be quite as

:26:25.:26:28.

chilly as last eight. Temperatures will reach around 11 degrees, the

:26:28.:26:32.

expected low across the region, but certainly one or two spots might get

:26:32.:26:38.

down to single figures. Here is the pressure pattern for tomorrow, the

:26:38.:26:44.

low pressure moves away to the east with the gap in between, you can see

:26:44.:26:49.

our next weather front lining up and heading in her direction. If you

:26:49.:26:54.

live in Norfolk and Suffolk there could be some rain first thing but

:26:54.:26:58.

then it will become drier and brighter and because of that we

:26:58.:26:59.

could require slightly warmer temperatures tomorrow. It will not

:26:59.:27:02.

feel quite as cold as today, as of around 16 degrees. Still a bit of a

:27:02.:27:07.

breeze but not as windy as today, a model north—westerly wind. Here is

:27:07.:27:11.

the next area of rain moving in, much of this quite drizzly and Patsy

and light but it will turn the sky is cloudy in the afternoon. Looking

:27:17.:27:20.

ahead, this is still the unsettled picture, with further weather front

:27:20.:27:25.

on the scene in the 50 and the rest of the week so far 30 itself looks

:27:25.:27:29.

slightly warmer. —— so for thirsty itself. For Friday and Saturday the

:27:29.:27:39.

temperatures will bounce back. That is all from us. Goodbye.
