into Friday morning and enhance the risk of flooding. That is all from | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
us, Hello and welcome to Look East. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
In the programme tonight: The teenager who was told he had just | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
days to live. Two months later he's still alive and getting stronger | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
every day. It was very difficult to accept that you weren't going to see | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
your son growing up but actually, I might. Parents in Essex say taking | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
away free school transport will cost them an extra ?500 a year. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
The Harlow MP leading the fight against the energy companies which | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
charge more if you pay by cash. And one woman's fight to have her | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
dead husband's children. First tonight the remarkable story | :00:42. | :00:56. | |
of a teenager who was told last year he had just three days to live. But | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
against all the odds his body is fighting back. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Deryn Blackwell from Norfolk is the only person in the world to be | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
diagnosed with both leukaemia and another rare form of cancer. Two | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
months ago after contracting another disease which attacked his immune | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
system he was told by doctors he would die before the New Year. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
But now to everyone's amazement, Deryn's body has started to produce | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
red blood cells. He's fighting back. This report by Nikki Fox. | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
14`year`old Deryn Blackwell has a standard medical professionals. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Three years ago he was told he had leukaemia. Before Christmas, he was | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
also diagnosed with a disease that destroys the immune system. He was | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
sent to an end of life hospice and doctors and his family prepared him | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
for the worst. We had all accepted it. Deryn and asked to go into the | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
room where they let the bodies. He knew where he was going to go once | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
he passed. Everything was set out. Knowing he may not have long left | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
commie drew up a list of things he wanted to do. He met celebrities, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
driving fast cars and tasted cider and even planned his own funeral. We | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
were going to get the ashes and put some of it in a firework, some of it | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
in a Canon, to fire a cannonball somewhere. The rest was going to be | :02:34. | :02:45. | |
chucked off a mountain in Greece. Then something amazing happened. His | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
infection is healed and he started to produce his own blood cells. They | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
don't even know and can't give us an idea of what will happen in the next | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
however many weeks. Initially, it was very difficult to flip that | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
acceptance that you are going to lose your son and not see him grow | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
up, too all of a sudden, I might. This is his old pile of medication. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
Now he needs just one. His family has moved out of the hospice into | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
shared accommodation because of his improvement and he is taking it all | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
in his stride. If you think a cough is the worst thing that has ever | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
happened to you and you see somebody like me who is worse, they are not | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
complaining and my cough isn't that bad. He is now training at a gym for | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
the first time to get his fitness up and has started school classes. His | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
cancer or leukaemia could return but his family wants to set up a charity | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
in his name and/or hoping it could be his project rather than his | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
legacy. The Prime Minister of St Lucia has | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
attended the funeral of a sailor who died after being attacked on board | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
his yacht. Roger Pratt left Lowestoft in the summer with his | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
wife Margaret to sail around the world. Kim Riley is here. Just | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
remind us what happened. Roger Pratt was a 62`year`old retired engineer. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
He and his wife Margaret had been planning this great adventure for 12 | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
years. Sailing across the Atlantic in their yacht Magnetic Attraction | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
and exploring the Caribbean. They were moored off the south coast of | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
St Lucia last month when a group of men climbed aboard, attacked them, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
before fleeing. Mrs Pratt was beaten up. Her husband received fatal | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
injuries while trying to protect her. She found him floating in the | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
water. He was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead on arriva. `` | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
arrival. Today I've been to Beccles in Suffolk to talk to Margaret | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
Pratt's sister Jenny Riley. She and her husband Bryan have just got back | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
after a week in St Lucia during which they attended Roger Pratt's | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
private funeral. It was held at an Anglican chapel near the capital | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
followed by cremation. There were about two dozen mourners. Relatives | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
and friends joined by a representative of our Foreign Office | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
and also significantly the Prime Minister of St Lucia and other | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
government officials. It's an island that relies very heavily on its | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
tourist trade and the St Lucia Tourist Board has condemned it as a | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
random and heionous act of violence. What is the latest on Margaret | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
Pratt? She was badly bruised and knocked about and is continuing to | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
help the police investigation. Today there was another court appearance | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
in front of a magistrate by four young men charged with murder and | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
robbery. They were remanded in custody until April the 11th and | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
will face a sufficiency hearing. Margaret Pratt is being put up in a | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
hotel while the process of evidence gathering goes on. Her sister says | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
she expects to be giving evidence in that court and it is not clear when | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
that trial will take place. Eventually after giving evidence, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
she will come back to East Anglia to a different retirement than the one | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
she planned, sadly. The hunt for a new candidate to | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
replace Tim Yeo is getting underway. He was deselected by his party | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
yesterday after 31 years as the local MP for South Suffolk. The | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Conservative Party will now advertise the position. A short list | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
will be drawn up. Local party members will meet in the late Spring | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
to make the final decision. I think it will be a mix. I think there will | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
be a few local people that will come forward. It is a seat that will | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
attract many candidates. Today there's been continued | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
speculation about the reasons behind Tim Yeo's de`selection. Some | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
suggesting he was too old, others that he was not a visible local MP. | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
Some say his political views do not chime well with members. He voted in | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
favour of gay marriage and is vocal on the way to tackle climate change | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
and is pro`Europe. With many Conservative members concerned about | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
UKIP, it is becoming quite difficult for supporters of the EU inside the | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
party to survive. Earlier I spoke to Norman, now Lord Tebbit, who used to | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
be Conservative Party Chairman. I began by asking whether he thought | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
it was Tim Yeo's views ` on subjects like Europe and gay marriage that | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
were the issue and he said they wouldn't have helped. They are not | :07:50. | :08:01. | |
particular popular views, particularly in conservative | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
inclined people in East Anglia. There is the fact that he lived in | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Kent which for a man who has represented a seat in Suffolk for so | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
long seems odd. He spent a great deal of time on his commitment to | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
the climate change issue which again, people thought he ought to be | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
doing a little bit more about his own constituency and help his own | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
constituents. Two Tory MPs have been deselected in a week. Why are local | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
parties flexing their muscles in this way? There is a lot of that. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
Back in the late 80s when I was chairman of the party, it was very | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
clear that there was no question of my having power over local | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
associations. It wasn't me that run them, it was the National union of | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Conservative and Unionist 's associations. That was a powerful | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
body. I spoke with great respect about that body. I was the | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
professional edge of the Conservative Party and they were the | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
volunteers. They felt they had power. I think now they feel they | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
have been dealt with poorly by the party at the centre and it tends to | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
make them much more ready to challenge those who lorded over them | :09:35. | :09:46. | |
to some extent. The deputy chairman said they wanted to see more | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
infrastructure investment in their area. Do you think MPs are being | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
judged on what they manage to achieve their constituency? There | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
has always been an element of that because they represent their | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
interests. I am not sure that is the biggest thing. Backbenchers can't | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
normally extract big concessions in terms of money out of government in | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
that way. I too think there are many other ways in which they can help. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
They can help in advocating better deals for the schools in their | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
constituency, better deals for the rate settlement for the local | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
authorities. They are expected to at least take a good address to at | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
least take a good interest in those things and not be solely preoccupied | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
with their own particular interests. Thank you very much. | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Herbie Hide, the former world heavyweight boxing champion from | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Norwich has had his prison sentence for drug dealing reduced. He had | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
admitted conspiring to sell cocaine and was jailed for 22 months in | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
November. Now three judges in the appeal court have cut that to 18 | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
months. His lawyers argued the original sentence was too long. He | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
was jailed after a judge heard that he fell for a sting operation set up | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
by the Sun on Sunday. Parents in Essex are campaigning against a plan | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
to withdraw some free school buses. From next year, pupils who live at | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
Wivenhoe may not get free transport to Colne Community College in | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Brightlingsea. The county council says it needs to save money and the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
children could go to the Colchester Academy which is closer. | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
Another school day starts for Daisy and George. They go to school and | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
want to go to secondary school in Brightlingsea. Until now, the school | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
bus has been freed but soon parents might have to pay. Reports are | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
coming in at ?400 a year per pupil. When you consider some families have | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
two to three children at the school, it is quite a considerable cost to | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
the average family. People around the region are aware of the changes | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
that could affect families across the whole of Essex. Money is tight | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
at the county council. We spend ?25 million transporting children to | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
school across the county and we need to save in the region of ?3 million. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
From September 2015, they will change its school policy and in most | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
cases, only provide free transport if a child is going to their nearest | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
school. Each morning, these school bus sets off on a six and a half | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
mile journey to the school in Brightlingsea but it is only four | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
and a half miles to a school in Colchester. At the local junior | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
school, the fear is only children whose parents can pay for the buses | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
will be able to go to the school generations from the village that | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
have attended. There will be a divide. The community here is | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
strong. It will divide our community on an income `based criteria which | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
is heartbreaking. There are mums that I know who can only send one | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
child in one direction and another in the other direction. They packed | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
a meeting at the county council and were given hope when the county | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
council said they would get the parish council to help. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Still to come: The Essex MP leading the fight against the energy | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
companies who charge more when you pay by cash. And the woman taking | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the fight to the High Court to keep her dead husband's sperm for longer. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
The make up of our police forces is changing. With pressures on | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
finances, all of our forces are looking to recruit more volunteer | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
Special Constables. Because they are volunteers they | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
don't get paid but they can claim expenses. They must be able to work | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
at least four hours a week. Once they are trained, they have the same | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
powers of arrest as regular officers. At the moment there are | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
more than 2500 Special Constables in this region and there are plans to | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
recruit another 1500. Northamptonshire has the most | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
ambitious plans. It wants to treble the number of Specials by the end of | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
the year. At college, Amelia is no different | :14:36. | :14:48. | |
to her friends but her idea of a night on the town is. The | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
19`year`old is one of the county's youngest special constables. Her | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
friends are bit surprised. They find it a bit weird because it is not | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
like a normal job. They always ask me what I have done on my shift. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
They are really pleased for me. Amelia became a special constable | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
last month and arranges patrols around her studies. The Police and | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Crime Commissioner wants to employ many more people like her. We remain | :15:21. | :15:30. | |
around the consistent 300 mark. We want to reach 900 and it will be the | :15:31. | :15:40. | |
biggest in the country. Isn't it policing on the cheap? Not at all. | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
There is interest in getting involved in policing. Amelia hopes | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
to join the force as a full`time officer but for her, it is more than | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
just a job. I love doing it whether I get paid or voluntary. It feels | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
good to help people in my community. I feel like a completely different | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
person. Northamptonshire police is facing many cuts and the force says | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
tripling the number of special constables is not the solution but | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
admits budget cuts have played a part. The current situation has been | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
the impetus for a stirring what has needed to be done for a long time. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
We have spent too long disempowering communities telling them they can't | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
take action without appropriate authority. Now we can give you the | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
skills and get you involved in policing your local community. You | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
have that local knowledge. Some in the force don't share the optimism | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
of the Police and Crime Commissioner as a bid target to triple the number | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
of specials by the end of the year is simply unrealistic. The success | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
of this scheme will very much depend on the community itself. | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
A review of how we pay our fuel bills is on the cards thanks to one | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
of our MPs. Robert Halfon thinks people who pay | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
by cash or cheque are being ripped off by energy firms. Today he called | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
a Commons debate on the matter. However you pay for your fuel, bills | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
have rocketed over the past decade. The price of electricity has doubled | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
and gas has tripled. The cheapest way of buying fuel is to pay by | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
direct debit and it is what most people do. Energy companies give | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
them a small discount because direct debits are cheaper to administer. | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Consumers who pay by cash or cheque pay more. Typically around ?114 a | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
year. Robert Halfon thinks that is unfair and today he tabled a Commons | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
motion calling for an enquiry by the energy regulator Ofgem. Energy | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
company said the charges levied on those paying by cheque or prepayment | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
meters and reflect the higher costs of processing payments. The industry | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
has met with him and it says it supports a review of direct debits | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
requested by the Prime Minister. I spoke to Robert Halfon just before | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
the debate and put to him the energy companies' claim that the increased | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
bills were down to the cost of processing cash and cheque payments. | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
Of course it is right that people cover their costs but I had a | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
meeting with the Post Office yesterday and they say to print out | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
a computerised bill and to get it home costs 20p ahead. They are | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
charging ?140 extra. 45% of the country don't pay their bills by | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
direct debit and there are 1 million people who don't have bank accounts. | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
The energy companies are penalising the poorest. Even British Telecom | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
charged ?2 a month and they have made the decision to be fair to | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
their customers. I think that is the right way forward. Isn't about the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
risk of people not paying their bills? If they are collecting the | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
money ahead of time, there is not so much risk. One of my constituents | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
has paid every month on time and has got a letter out of the blue saying | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
that because she didn't pay by direct debit, she was going to have | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
to pay ?63 extra a year. ?35 of that is going towards the non`payers but | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
why should pensioners and the poorest to pay on time face a | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
premium from the energy companies so the energy companies have the money | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
to chase the non`payers? That is unacceptable and that is why I have | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
organised this debate in Parliament with 170 odd MPs supporting me. Are | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
you concerned that the method of paying by direct debit,, the | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
companies can underestimate the amount you pay so you are always in | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
credit. That might put some people off. This gives the energy companies | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
money. When we pay our bills by direct debit, you often pay more out | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
of your account by the energy companies. That surplus can be up to | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
?2 billion. They have surplus money in order to pursue the non`payers or | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
the late payers. To penalise the poor and pensioners by saying you | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
get a huge black on your bill from ?63 up to 390, to me, it is totally | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
wrong. Next, the legal fight being mounted | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
by a widow to allow her late husband to father her child. Beth Warren | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
lost her husband to a brain tumour when he was just 32. Samples of his | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
sperm were stored before he underwent treatment.. But they're | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
due to be destroyed next year unless Mrs Warren can get the storage | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
period extended. It's not the first time a case of | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
this nature has been heard in the courts. In 1997 Diane Blood from | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
Nottinghamshire won the right to have a child using sperm from her | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
dead husband. Despite the fact that her late husband had never given his | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
written consent she went on to have two sons. But this case is | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
different. Beth Warren's husband gave his consent to have the sperm | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
stored and used. But that consent will expire 14 months from now | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
unless she can persuade a judge to extend the time limit. A lot of the | :21:25. | :21:35. | |
problems like this are caused by the fact that there isn't clear evidence | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
of what the parents consented to before they died. It will be helpful | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
if clinics could be more particular about the concerned they take so | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
they are not just asking patients whether they consent to their sperm | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
being used after their death, but that they spell out what they really | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
intended. I spoke to Beth Warren late this afternoon and started by | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
asking how much longer she wanted the sperm to be kept. We are | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
applying for the maximum period of 55 years. Realistically, I wouldn't | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
need that long. It is difficult to put a time on how I will feel | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
stronger to become professionally settled and be ready to do this and | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
decide whether it is the right thing. Presumably you spoke about | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
this before he died. When you are discussing it, what did you discuss? | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
First of all, Warren wasn't something `` someone that wanted to | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
talk about dying, he was someone who wanted to get better. This was a | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
frank conversation we did have. He signed the paper to say with could | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
conceive in the event of his death. I asked him how he would feel if I | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
did that knowing he would never meet his children. He said if that was | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
what I wanted, that was what he wanted. He wanted to leave me the | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
choice. What happens if the judge decides against me? From the time | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
period I have left, I should be looking to try to get pregnant | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
immediately. There is potential that I could start IVF and store embryos | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
for a longer period and that I could apply for special permission to | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
export the sperm to somewhere like Belgium and then get pregnant mare. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
Why don't you do that? For the embryo, it is the cost and the | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
chance of it moving. It is the emotional side of creating that | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
life. It might not be the right thing to do in the future. There are | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
so many different reasons. It will stop me doing artificial | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
insemination. You so you may not want to do it and there are many | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
reasons. First of all, I have to think about the child. It is a | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
massive decision. I know that child will never meet their father. Warren | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
was happy with that and he wanted to give me that choice. It is also the | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
emotion from losing my brother and two months later losing my husband. | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
I went back to work and I don't feel emotionally ready. I have only just | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
started as a physiotherapist three weeks ago and I am not financially | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
ready. There are many reasons of why I need more time. If the judge rules | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
against you, your reaction to that? Probably more tears. It has been an | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
emotional couple of years. I won't let it go. It is not something I can | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
do. I will need to look at options. Can you believe it has come to this? | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
No. It has been an emotional time. Looking at the facts, it isn't right | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
that a man who gave every single consent he could for his wife to | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
conceive in the event of his death, has been given a time limit on that. | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
For me, to fight for this, it is the only option I have. | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
That judgement should come from the High Court in the next few weeks. | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
We'll bring you the news when we get it. | :25:26. | :25:26. | |
Now for the weather. It is a changeable forecast for this | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
week and we will see a lot of wet and whether `` wet and windy | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
weather. There is an area of low pressure that has been moving in | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
across the West Country bringing rain where it is really not needed. | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
Expect a cloudy evening. The wind is cooking up and the rain for most of | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
us is not getting here until 11pm. This is when the wind will pick up. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
There will be gusts of around 55 mph. The rain will clear away and | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
there will be some showers following on behind. There will be some dry | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
interludes perhaps with a little bit of sunshine. We have some heavy | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
downpours expected and those winds pick up. They are peaking between | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
midday and 6pm. Temperatures will be around eight Celsius. These are the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
wind speeds that we can expect. There will be rain or showers | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
following through the afternoon and into the evening. Then we get a | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
break for Thursday. In the east, the weather is not too bad. The next | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
blow is on its way and it will bring further spells of wet and windy | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
weather. There is no let up in this weather pattern. This is the next | :26:54. | :27:03. | |
few days. Expect a reasonable day. We will see some brighter spells a | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
man that rain starts to move in five o'clock. It may well be around first | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
thing on Friday but it will gradually cleared away and we will | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
see some sunny spells around. The next blow is not far away. Saturday, | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
we have showers and some sunshine. These are the average wind speeds. | :27:25. | :27:34. | |
That is all from us. Have a very good evening. Goodbye. | :27:35. | :28:54. | |
