Hello, and welcome to Look East with Susie and me. In tonight's | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
programme, the news from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
After yesterday's chaos on the trains, the backlash from | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
Parliament. We really need deeper investment, particularly in the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Chelmsford area, to make sure those issues that come up time and time | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
again are sorted out. Experts recommend action now to | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
enrich the lives of our ageing population. My back doesn't work | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
properly. The ground is getting further away every day. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
The family of 12 who outgrew their council house in Ipswich are told to | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
knock through into next door. And if you go down to the woods in | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Norfolk today you will bump into air crews from America. | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
Hello. The region's MPs have today stepped up their demands for more | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
money to be spent on the railways. It follows widespread disruption | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
yesterday on the Greater Anglia service into London Liverpool | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Street. MPs in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk are planning to meet | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
managers at Network Rail to find out what's going wrong. They say the | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
service into London is too unreliable and could put a brake on | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
the economic recovery in this region. Our political correspondent, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Andrew Sinclair, is at Westminster now. | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
We ought to be fair to network rail and point out that the majority of | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the time, trained in and out of London run without too much | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
difficulty. But when things go wrong, it can be a real nightmare | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
and today, there has been a chorus of criticism from MPs following | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
yesterdaydisruption. It was one of those mornings which commuters will | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
not forget in a hurry. A signalling problem I Chelmsford brought the | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
mainline into London to a standstill. That lasted all morning. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
Services were cancelled and passengers faced long waits. Many | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
gave up and took the day off. We have real challenges dealing with | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
infrastructure. We really need deeper investment, particularly in | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
the Chelmsford area, to make sure those issues that come up time and | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
time again are sorted out. It is a long—term investment challenge, but | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
we need to get to grips with it now. MPs have been fighting a long | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
campaign for more investment in the region's rail services, especially | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
the mainline to London. Norfolk's MP said today that the county's | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
businesses and economy were being held back by the lack of | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
investment. Her colleague, Richard Bacon, said that if the a fraction | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
of what is being allocated to the high—speed rail project was given to | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
them, it would make a massive difference. MPs except that money is | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
already being spent on improving the route, but they say a lot what is | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
needed. What needs to happen is a total upgrade of the track, which | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
has happened. They need to replace the active weighted —— antiquated | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
electric Asian system so that we can minimise those sort of problems. —— | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
electrical system. Today, the transport secretary was inspecting | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
upgrade work. But he has won that with so many demands, we will have | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to be patient. The budget for railway improvements has been | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
allocated until 2019. But MPs say after scenes like these yesterday, | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
we can't wait that long. Yes, the budget has been allocated until 2019 | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
but MPs point out that every now and again the Government find some extra | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
money and they hope they will get it if they make enough noise. Just | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
before I go, one more transport story from down here. The Suffolk MP | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
has met with the roads minister today to complain about the planned | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
toll road for the A14 in Cambridge. He told the minister that it has | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
caused uproar and will lead to an unequal playing field and that is | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
not acceptable. I told the minister noted his comments. Thank you, | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Andrew. Experts gathered in Suffolk today to | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
discuss how to make the county a better place to live for elderly | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
people. It's reckoned a quarter of the county's population will be over | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
65 by 2020. Our Suffolk reporter, Kevin Burch, was there. | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
There are, of course, few certainties in life but one of them | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
is that none of us is getting any younger. As the adored use about —— | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
as Theodore Roosevelt once said, if you want to make a success of old | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
age, you must start young. And that is what this conference is about. It | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
is a roomful of stakeholders, counsellors, volunteers, health care | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
providers. They are all critical in planning for the future. And giving | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
the keynote speech was local broadcaster Stewart child, who | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
summed up beautifully how many of us feel. I am old on the outside, but I | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
do not feel old on the inside. I still fill like the young man that I | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
am, as do a lot of people of my age, 67. We just want to enjoy life will | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
stop. And over coffee, we met this couple, who celebrated their golden | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
wedding. How indeed you getting older? —— how do they feel about | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
getting older? Getting older does not scare me, but the thought of | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
being incapacitated does. Being able to walk and get out is the most | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
important thing. I can drive, but I do not know for how long. My back | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
does work properly. The ground is getting further away every day. It's | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
very important that I do keep fit and healthy, and our grandson is | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
only a year old. I don't want him to just think of me as an old woman. | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
Both couples have just downsized their gardens because it has become | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
too big to handle. I have 2000 bunches of grapes here, and I do not | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
have the time, the energy, or the strength to pick them. I am an old | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
man who can't cope with the wonderful things that are growing | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
here. Time is not on anyone's side, not least the decision—makers who | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
need to come up with answers and fast. As Betty Davis once said, old | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
age is no place for the week. Elsewhere one GP from Norwich has | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
been describing the extra demand for health care from older people as | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
"staggering". The comment came during the annual meeting of Age UK, | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
which said caring for the elderly would dominate the health service of | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
the future. Alex Dunlop reports. This exhibition in Norwich | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
highlights the contributions that older people make to society and | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
perhaps how little we tend to appreciate that. Norfolk has one of | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
the highest proportion of pensioners in the country and in Norwich alone, | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
one in six people is over 65 and in the next 25 years, that will | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
increase by 40%. One in seven people is over 85, and that is set to | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
increase by 106%. A GP in Norwich for 27 years, Doctor David is now | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
treating for older people. It is a huge strain on the health service. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Local doctors are looking to work more closely with voluntary groups | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
to help older people stay healthy and at home for longer. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
Traditionally, we have perhaps been more reactive. I think we appreciate | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
that we have to be much more proactive. So, it is a question of | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
really having services that support people at a much earlier stage. It | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
means local charities will have a greater say in her money is spent. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
The idea is to invest in older people 's health early to invite | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
pressure on the NHS later. It is not just about the money, but about how | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
we live. We are very good at keeping people alive, but not very good at | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
giving them something to live for making life worthwhile. That balance | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
has got a shift. That balance is already changing. The NHS in Suffolk | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
has funded a pilot which enables older people to video chat with | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
relatives who may live far away. And carers are being taught at the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
University of East Anglia had to look after people so they can live | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
at home for longer. If you thought that growing old was about putting | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
your feet up, then no one has told Connie Wood. At 85, she is a world | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
of veteran fencing champion. She even calls herself and "recycled | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
teenager." And I'm delighted to say that Connie | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
Adam is here now. What do you think of that picture? Not very good. I | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
look a bit decrepit. I want to show everyone these. These are two bronze | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
medals from the European Championships, and another from the | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
World Championships. How do you? I am 85, and the world champion from | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
France, who beat me, was 72. We heard somebody say there that they | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
feel young inside and older on the outside. Is that how you feel? | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Definitely. My head still feels like a teenager. What is your secret? You | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
have to work at it. I do as much as I can. I do my own gardening and my | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
own housework and join different clubs, do different things, keep | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
active. You children have to make an appointment to see you, don't they? | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
Definitely. I am not sitting around waiting for someone who might | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
comment. I can think of many people who are not as fit as you and will | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
be lonely. That is dreadful. But if you are lonely, there is not much | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
you can do about it unless you can get out and if you can get out, | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
there are lots of things you can do about it. But if you are lonely, you | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
have got to try. You have definitely got to try. Nobody is going to come | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
and visit you every day as much as you might like them to. We have | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
heard a lot there are about what people can do for the elderly. What | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
are people —— do you like being called elderly? No. I am a recycled | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
teenager. What would help you? Somebody to support me with the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
financial side of fencing. Other than that, my health is good. I do | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
not go to the dentist of them. So, just a bit of support with the | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
financial side of fencing. And I could do with the caddie to carry | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
the kit. I think you might get some volunteers after all of this! And | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
you have no plans to give up the fencing? Definitely not. While I can | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
get about and carried a kit, I just have to get it to the bus station, | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
and my brother usually helps me with that. And once I'm on the bus, there | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
is always somebody who will lift it off and put it on the carousel. | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
Congratulations on everything. It is lovely to have you in the studio. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Thank you very much. It is lovely to be here. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
The defence in the trial of former BBC radio presenter Michael Souter | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
has been calling some of its last witnesses. 60—year—old Mr Souter | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
denies sex offences against seven boys between the ages of 11 and 16, | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
and nine counts of possessing indecent images. | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
Mr Souter list and in the dock as insurance broker Alan Cross | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
described him as a friend of 30 years. He had been a member of the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
sketch troupe run by Mr Souter, who put his heart and soul into the job. | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
He was someone he respected. The defence barrister asked him if Mr | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
Souter had behaved towards him in a sexual way at any point. " | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
Absolutely not, "" Mr Cross replied. He said he had no doubts about the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
good character of Mr Souter. The prosecutor then asked him to look at | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
some of the pictures found on his computer. He pointed him towards one | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
particularly graphic image. "Would you have been concerned if you had | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
known he had an image like that on his computer with Mike" "yes," he | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
replied. " I have concerns based on what I have seen today." They also | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
called another witness who had been linked with him in the early 1980s. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
He came from a troubled background and said that his times between Mr | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
—— times with Mr Souter had some of the best moments of his childhood. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
The court is not sitting for the next two days. The closing speeches | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
will be made on Monday. A teenage girl and a man in his 50s | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
have died in a crash on the A12 in Suffolk. The road was closed for | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
several hours after the collision between two cars. It happened at | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
about 8.15 last night at Frostenden, near Lowestoft. The girl, who was a | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
passenger in one car, and the driver of the other car, were pronounced | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
dead at the scene. Two council houses in Ipswich are | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
being knocked into one to provide a six—bedroom home for a family of 12. | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
The family currently live in a three bedroom home, but builders are | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
moving in this week to extend the accommodation by knocking through to | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
the house next door. The plan has prompted a petition, and the | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
disapproval of the town's MP. Timothy Fiske, father of 12, telling | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
reporters about the cramped conditions his family live in. I am | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
living in my living. There is nowhere for my kids to eat their | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
food. I have had to buy an industrial carpet cleaner because | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
they make a lot of mess. This family picture was taken on holiday in the | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
summer. Ten of Mr Fisk and his 12 partners children live with the | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
couple in a council house in is which. To get them room, Ipswich | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Borough Council is spending £6,000 knocking through to the empty | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
council house next door, turning to three—bedroom homes into one house | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
with six bedrooms. Everyone has got their own decision with how many | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
children they want. If I wanted 50 children, that is my decision. I | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
have worked hard in the past. I am unable to work at the moment. Some | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
neighbours say it is a good idea. I can see no reason why they shouldn't | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
be allowed to remain a family. But not everyone here is happy about | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
what is happening. One neighbour has started a petition against it. It | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
has attracted about 90 signatures, and they said they had nothing | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
personal against the family, that they believe that they believe the | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
vacant house should be made available to another family that may | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
have housing problems. The MP for Ipswich says that taxpayers may be | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
concerned, although the council says it is the most cost—effective way to | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
meet the family's needs. Mr Fisk believes a petition is unjustified. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
He says his family have never caused any problems. | :15:32. | :15:44. | |
Still to come, the weatherman says it is going to be getting colder. | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
And it is a shocking lesson for the students who get a crash course in | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
driving. You may have heard that the leader | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
of the right—wing English Defence League is standing down. Tommy | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Robinson, who comes from Luton, says the party has become too extreme in | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
its views about immigration. Mr Robinson told Look East today that | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
he will now establish a new group to defend English culture against high | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
levels of immigration. But Muslim figures in Luton said they distrust | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
his motives. Tonight's special report is from our home affairs | :16:19. | :16:29. | |
correspondent, Sally Chidzoy. I don't care what you say to me! The | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
face of the English Defence League, Tommy Robinson. A man whose rhetoric | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
attacking Muslim extremism attracted thousands of followers, first in | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Luton and then across the country. The movement began in Luton four | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
years ago in response to Muslim protesters who shouted slogans as | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the Royal Anglian Regiment much do the time. After dramatically | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
quitting as the leader, Tommy Robinson said he was sick of the far | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
right extremism within its ranks. When I am saying something, it is | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
me. It is not someone with the three letters of my organisation doing | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
something. Toby Robinson's defection has raised eyebrows. The group | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
focuses on counter extremism and argues that Islamist causes Muslim | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
terrorism. There is something fishy about the whole thing. He still has | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
extremist, intolerant views. I was listening this morning on the radio | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
and he said he still wants the burger van. He still does not want | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
mosques. —— veil ban. He still has a scaremongering attitude to sharia | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
law. He has not changed in the slightest. For years, Tommy Robinson | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
has hit back at critics who accuse him of being a racist. For many, his | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
departure has been welcomed. If he has seen the light and walked away | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
from it, it is a good example to others. He was having problems | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
before with a lot of people but now, people might find him not resist any | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
more. I don't really support him. I think we should all live together | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
and be happy together. Are you anything without the EGL? I think | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
people are supporting what I'm saying and doing. Do you plan to set | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
up another group? Not a street protest group. A group that focuses | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
its frustrations and brings about dialogue through the political | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
process. Tommy Robinson believes that without his support the English | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Defence League will die out by Christmas. Local Muslim leaders fear | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
what has happened could spawn extremists when two groups. —— | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
splinter groups. Air crews from the United States Air | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Force have been spending the week in Norfolk learning how to survive in | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
the wild in the event they are ever shot down over enemy territory. They | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
have been training at the Stanford Battle Zone, which is usually used | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
by UK soldiers and airmen. The Americans are based at the nearby US | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
headquarters at RAF Mildenhall. Simon Newton went with them. | :19:06. | :19:18. | |
The military collet Survive, Headache, Resist, And Escape. The | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
American military has been putting its all just do it since the Korean | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
War. —— putting its soldiers do it. You would be is use whichever one is | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
closest to you... These are men flight refuelling characters from | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
Mildenhall. Today, they have been shot down in hostile territory. The | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
soldier from California has been an air force pilot for six years. I | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
have had the opportunity to speak to pilots who faced being shot down and | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
captured by enemy forces. The lessons they learned really help | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
build courses like this. As well as evading capture, pilots learn how to | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
hunt, height, and call for help. How many in your party? What is their | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
condition? On the edge of the forest, another soldier plays | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
friendly forces. Before you get into a survival situation, you want to | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
make sure that you have your ducks in a row, pretty much. We really | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
remind guys to understand that. We do not rise to the occasion, we fall | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
to the level of training. That way, they take this as seriously as | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
possible. This soldier from the Brascan has served for 12 years, | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
including in Iraq and Afghanistan. His job is operating a refuelling | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
craft. He says his family know the dangers he faces. I ask them that, | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
but they don't like to talk about it. I know it plays on my mind. They | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
usually have faith that I'm coming home. The resistance element | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
involves coping with interrogation, but they will not discuss that. It | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
is strictly classified. For these aircrews, these exercises are fun | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
but also very serious. The lessons learned here could one day be the | :21:33. | :21:45. | |
key to making it out alive. Suzie has just been telling me how to | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
survive in these situations. I have just said I would not survive very | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
long on my own. Students from Peterborough were | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
given a crash course today in driving. And that's exactly what | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
they got — a driving course with a crash ending. The idea is to cut the | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
number of injuries to young drivers and their passengers. Last year, | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
almost a quarter of people injured on the city's roads were aged | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
between 17 and 25. Please be aware that this report from Mike Liggins | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
involves simulated pictures of a serious car crash. | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
This is the car crash simulator at Peterborough regional College, a | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
specially adapted Ford focus was blacked out windows and video | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
screens. Great fun, but the students are about to get nastier shock. The | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
video playing is a reconstruction in which a 17—year—old girl is taxing | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
while at the wheel. Hydraulics make the car moved to help recreate the | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
atmosphere of a crash will stop now watch the moment of impact again, | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
but this time see how the students react. The video goes on to show the | :22:53. | :23:05. | |
aftermath of the crash. The simulator has flashing lights and | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
smoke. Then, the consequences. The relatives of the dead are told, and | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
the funerals. The simulator is supposed to provoke a reaction, and | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
it does. It was really good. It was proper scary. I thought it was | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
really emotional and really upsetting, because you realise, you | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
could do something so little light go on your phone and then all of | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
that could happen. Has it made you think twice? Yes, definitely. It has | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
been created by the Seaford Peterborough Partnership, which | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
involves a wide of local authorities. Often with young | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
drivers with cars full of 17 or 25—year—old, they are taxing, not | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
wearing seat belts, driving too fast. So when we do go to traffic | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
collisions involving young people, it is quite disturbing for us. This | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
age group is really, really hard to engage with. We run programmes | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
throughout the schools, but to have this today and have people come and | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
talk to us, it is a first. The car crash simulator will note | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
Cambridgeshire and other counties in the region. Entered a's world of | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
graphic video games, it is hard to shock teenagers. But the simulator | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
does shock. What a good idea! It is, and the | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
looks on their faces, to be enjoying the ride in the car and then | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
suddenly, totally shocked. Let's get the weather. | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
It is turning much colder and when they the next few days. Keeping a | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
close eye on some cold front coming in. The blue indicates that here. | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
These two cold fronts have a few showers with them as well. Across | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
the country through the day, we have had a little bit of rain in places. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
They are continuing to exit down towards the south. They will | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
continue to do that in the next couple of hours and in most places | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
will become dry with clear skies tonight. Towards midnight and do | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
tomorrow morning, there will be heavy showers in Norfolk, especially | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
near the coast. They could even be the odd rumble of thunder as well. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
But further west, it will be heavy showers in Norfolk, especially near | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
the coast. They could even be the odd rumble of thunder as well. But | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
further west, it'll stay mainly dry the wind will keep most areas frost | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
free. The winds, by the end of the neck, costing close to 50 miles an | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
hour. We have got high—pressure anchored to the West of Scotland and | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
these tightly packed I suppose indicate a very strong northerly | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
wind coming down. We could see just inland of 35 or 40 mph, and along | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
the northern coast, 16 mph possible. Couple that with high tide and large | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
waves, and could be some flooding. Tomorrow is all about showers. | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
Again, some of these are heavy with some field. Further west, a bright | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
start. But even here, there will be a few showers developing into the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
afternoon. The general rule is that the further west you go, the lighter | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
the showers will be and the few and far between it will be as well. | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
Temperatures could make it up to 12 degrees, several degrees lower than | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
it has been in recent days. It will feel even colder than that thanks to | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
that very strong wind, making it feel more like six or seven degrees | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
if you are exposed to the wind. The showers continue through the | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
afternoon and into the evening. They could be a long spell of rain across | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
eastern areas and we had to the second—half of the evening. That | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
rain will gradually expand further westwards as we go through Thursday | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
night, so potentially quick bit of rain in some places. It is all | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
courtesy of this weather front that actually will not move very far over | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
the next few days. Expect further outbreaks of rain across parts of | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
the region, even into the weekend. Some uncertainty about exactly how | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
much rain there is, but I would not be surprised if some places did not | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
get 25 millimetres or more by Sunday. But indicators are it will | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
clear away by the weekend. Your outlook is some heavy showers to the | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
course of tomorrow, more green into the weekend, dry by Sunday. Notice | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
the winds easing down? Chilly night continuing into the weekend. There | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
is a weather. is a | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
Thank you very much. What a cheery little forecast. See you tomorrow | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
night. Have a peaceful evening. | :27:43. | :27:46. |
