Berkshire. Now it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good night. We were seconds from death, the | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
driver to swerve to say his `` save his family as a car came at him on | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
the wrong side of a dual carriage way. I did not know who the car | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
would hit. I was thinking, it is going to hit someone. I am at | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Westminster, where I have been speaking to the MP Tim Yeo about 50 | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
selection. Was he invisible? `` his D selection. I was not invisible if | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
you read the national papers. The soldier who lost both his legs and | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
an arm, making a new career as a furniture designer. And we are at a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
wetland centre in Welney, where they are having to use some ingenious if | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
it's to feed the hundreds of swans who have come to winter here. `` | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
methods to feed. First tonight, a driver has told | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Look East about the moment his family was seconds from death when a | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
car was driving towards him going the wrong way on the A14 at 50 miles | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
an hour. An 80`year`old woman was eventually stopped by the police | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
after driving for several miles in the outside lane on the wrong side | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
of the dual carriageway. Stephen Wood, who lives in Bury St Edmunds, | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
had his wife and two children in the car when he swerved to avoid a crash | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
with just seconds to spare. Driving the wrong way down the A14. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
A frightened passenger filmed the red car heading straight towards | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
oncoming vehicles. This is the terrifying view that confronted | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
police, and a man driving his young family. We were within an inch of | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
our lives, for sure. That is what we are struggling to deal with. It is | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
not going to affect me, I am not trying to say that, but the thought | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
of nearly losing my children through someone else's action... Stephen was | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
with his family going shopping. He had just overtaken a car in the | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
outside lane. He pulled in after seeing other motorists flashing | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
their lights. These people were waving their arms, windows open, | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
everyone is waiting, you think, hang on, something is out of the | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
ordinary. You do a double take. You do not expect to see the front of a | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
car coming towards you. There was no time to brake. It was in a flash. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
And you were just seconds away. Seconds. And that was crucial for | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
you, the flashing and waving? Absolutely crucial, yes. If it had | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
not been for their actions... It does not bear thinking about. No. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
This point, there have been numerous 999 calls. This is the moment the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
police finally stopped the vehicle. It was a fairly nervous time, if I | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
am honest. We were potentially going to deliberately crash into her to | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
bring her to a stop, but fortunately she stopped before colliding with | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
our vehicle, and she was about 30 cm in front of us. The driver from | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
Essex told drivers should try to get off the road several times. Police | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
said she was suffering from mental health problems and would not be | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
prosecuted. Two years ago, 50,000 immigrants | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
came to live in this region. They are the ones we know about, but many | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
more came here illegally. One of them is Chris Swanapool, who came | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
here from South Africa on a false passport. He says in 20 years he has | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
claimed nothing from the state. But now he has decided he wants to go | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
home. Just another face in the crowd, a | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
man who has learned to pass unnoticed, and he has had to, | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
because Chris Swanapool should not be walking the streets of Britain. I | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
am an illegal immigrant. Simple as that. I have been here for 20 years. | :04:20. | :04:33. | |
I know I came here illegally. He has been living the license 1994 stopped | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
he has a false name on his passport. I have never claimed anything of the | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
government, nothing whatsoever. Unfortunately, the system has failed | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
me. They do not want to know people like me. The reason is, a crackdown | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
on it illegal immigrants like Chris. It has become a lot harder. I cannot | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
do today what I do ten or 15 years ago. He was earning good money, but | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
nine years ago, his true identity was revealed. He was not deported, | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
and he has been on the run ever since. I have slept rough most of | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
the time. I might get a wee Keir Orde two weeks there with people I | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
know about under the bridge. `` a week here or a week there. I am not | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
proud of it, to be honest. The South African is desperate to leave but he | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
cannot even do that. For five days he has been trying to hand | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
themselves in. Even as we were filming, his immigration appointment | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
was cancelled. Right now I am going to get on a bus | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
and I am going to Heathrow at sports, because I have tried over | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
the last few days to get in touch with immigration and I have had | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
absolutely no help from them, other than you will have to wait. He wants | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
people to know he is 's are. On his back, all he owns in the world. This | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
is my home. I do not know where I am going from here. Where is the heart | :06:12. | :06:23. | |
and human society? The ministers are running things by numbers. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Tonight we believe Chris Swanapoel is still in London. The Home Office | :06:29. | :06:42. | |
told us today the onus is on him to prove his identity, and that might | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
explain the delay in sending him home. We'll let you know what | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
happens next. It's just over a week since the MP | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
for Suffolk South Tim Yeo was deselected by his local Conservative | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
association. He spent 30 years in Parliament and was a Government | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Minister in the 90s. Now the dust has settled. Tim Yeo has been | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
speaking to Look East. Let's go live to Susie at Westminster. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
I met Tim Yeo in his office this morning and he told me he had no | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
regrets about how he had conducted himself as an MP or about the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
de`selection progress. This is not about one man. This is about the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
direction of the Conservative Party. In a moment, we will be | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
hearing from Mr Yeo, after this report. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
One word sums up the problems, visibility. For the last couple of | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
years, his local party kept hearing the same complaints. Criticisms were | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
coming in from across the constituency. They do not see him | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
connected in what is going on. People expect a lot more from their | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
MPs these days, and when Mr Yeo first entered politics, MPs had the | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
time to pursue outside interests. Nowadays, some even call themselves | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
glorified social workers. The expectations on them, I think, are a | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
lot higher. But at Westminster, Mr Yeo's dismissal has led to a bigger | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
debate. Just days earlier, one of his colleagues was deselected. There | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
wasn't a `` there was an on access fault `` unsuccessful attempt to | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
remove another colleague. People like him Yeo, it is record Tim Yeo, | :08:20. | :08:33. | |
`` people like him... He angered traditionalists. He is in control of | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
the Conservative Party and they are taking the party in a liberal and | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
left direction, which is at odds with the party membership. The rise | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
of the UK Independence Party is worrying many in our region. Some | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
believe tacking to the right is the best way to respond, others say it | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
will make it even harder for the Tories to win the next election. Mr | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Yeo is leading a very scared and invited party. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
I that point a divided party to the Yeo. Was he deselected because he | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
was on the wrong side of the divide. I do not think the party is divided. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
I think the party, at all times, is a bit of a coalition itself, and | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
encompasses quite a range of views. There are a number of issues about | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
which I feel and felt very strongly and spoke out very clearly on, which | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
probably are not shared by a number of the activists in the party, but I | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
think those views are Barat `` broadly reflective of where the | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
average converts the data `` Rod Lee perfective of where the average | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
observer to the voter is at. Their main point was your so`called | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
invisibility. That is interesting. I have had hundreds of letters and | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
e`mails, and many of them have said, to whom was I invisible? Not if you | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
were a reader of the national papers were listening to the radio, where | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
my regularly expressed views about energy and climate change on the | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
State committee and on other issues were being reported, so I am not | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
sure to whom I was actually at invisible. What was it that you are | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
invisible in the constituency itself should mark there were that you | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
lived in Kent as opposed to Suffolk. `` itself? There were complaints | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
that you lived in Kent as opposed to Suffolk. I am there pretty much | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
every week of my life. You are surrounded by new MPs, people who | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
are supposedly much more visible and speak out on local issues. Is that | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
the problem, the change has come in the job and you have not moved with | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
it? The job has changed, and Suffolk has some outstanding new and young | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
MPs, who when they were first elected in their term I'm a they | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
should have shown their `` in their term, they should have been in their | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
constituency. Perhaps I was more invisible to them than they were to | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
me. David Cameron back to you. What effect does this have on him? This | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
is a wider view than just a charter issue than just one person. The | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
danger. `` this is a wider issue than just one person. If it turns | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
out that the UK Independence Party gets more votes than the | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Conservative Party, I have no doubt there will be some pressure from | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
some of our activists or the Conservatives to adopt a more UK | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
Independence Party like policy. That would be a mistake. You have been a | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Minister, you have been chairman of a very influential committee. It | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
must be very disappointing to have ended your political career in this | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
way. I am trying to be upset but I am not succeeding. It has been one | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
of life great's events. I will reflect and explore what other | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
options there are. You will be your successor? What kind of person will | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
take over from you? I expect they will be very different from me. Or | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
has been some mention of Boris Johnson. I do not know. I have not | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
talked to him since then but I am sure he would make a formidable MP. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
He still has to serve his term of London Mayor. I am keen he does that | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
properly. If that is whom they choose, I shall be delighted. A key | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
very much. Mr Yeo will stay until the next election, but a new | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
candidate will be chosen by the summer. It will be interesting to | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
see who they select. More than 230 personnel from RAF | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Honington in Suffolk have been sent to help with the flooding around the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
River Thames near Windsor. They had been on stand`by for two days and | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
left earlier this afternoon. MPs from Norfolk and Suffolk have | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
been meeting the Transport Minister today to keep up the pressure to | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
make the whole of the A47 a dual carriageway. The A47 Alliance says | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
the changes could bring in ?42 million a year. The A47 has been | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
included on a Government short list for roads which could be upgraded in | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
the future. Still to come: How to keep young | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
people safe when they are on the internet. And it is great weather | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
for swans, what not so great if you have to feed them! `` but not so | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
great. The new boss of the East of England | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Ambulance Service has been meeting the Health Minister today. Dr | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Anthony Marsh has been in the job for six weeks. He was brought in | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
after serious concerns were raised about the way the service is being | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
run. It was criticised for not meeting response times, particularly | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
in country areas. In December an inspection by the | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Care Quality Commission found that complaints and staff sickness were | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
both down but ambulances are still not getting to 999 calls quickly | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
enough. When I spoke to Dr Marsh, I started by asking him about the | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
meeting. It was a great opportunity for me to | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
update the Minister and local MPs and the improvements that we are | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
already taking forward to transform the organisation, that also to set | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
out the key priorities for recruiting staff and bringing | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
forward the ambulance replacement programme. Did you point out that | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
the big improvements came from the report in December which was under | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
your predisaster's watch? Improvements have been taking | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
forward, that is right, and the previous Chief Executive has made | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
good progress, but we are very clear that we need to continue to make | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
further improvements. There are still some patients who are waiting | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
too long for ambulances to arrive and occasions where paramedic | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
response cars are waiting too long for amulets is to back them up, so | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
there is a lot more work to take forward in the Ambulance Service, | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
and I am determined to bring those about. It is country areas which are | :14:58. | :15:12. | |
still a problem for you. It does not look as though it can be solved in | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
the immediate future. That is fair. The particular problems are Norfolk, | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
Sussex `` Christophe Nick and ethics, and rural areas within those | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
areas. We need to protect the rope committees, you are absolutely | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
right. This 400 additional staff will not be available and | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
operational until June, so we have taken some interim measures which | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
will help us improve the service whilst we recruit those first new | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
staff, and of course, it will take 14 months to recruit his 400 | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
students. So you are telling me it is going to be a couple of years | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
before people in country areas can be Aaron and see that an ambulance | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
can arrive on time? We will be able `` guaranteed they will have an | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
ambulance arrived on time. We have to completely eradicate those | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
delays, and it will take two years for us to recruit those paramedics | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
and for them to be fully registered. Your predisaster was | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
given about a year to turn the service around. How long have you | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
got? I have not been ebbing anytime. I am going to do the right thing for | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
patients and staff in the East of England. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Thank you very much. A few years ago, cyberbullying or | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Sexting didn't exist, but now they are part of our lives. And there is | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
growing concern about internet safety. 75% of teenagers own a | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
smartphone and more than 50% of homes have a tablet computer. But | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
lots of us just don't know enough to protect our children from the | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
dangers that exist online. As he grew older, you are going to | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
have so much more access to things like Facebook. `` as you grow older. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Young people faced with more social media sites than ever before, | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
different ways to catch up with friends and share photographs, but | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
what happens when your information and pictures in the been the wrong | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
hands? That is what your 11th People's at this high school have | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
been learning about as part of safer internet Day. `` 11 year students. | :17:27. | :17:38. | |
They can lie about their age. They can put pictures on the internet. | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
People can say people should die in comments and people well say that | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
they are glad they are dead if they commit suicide. It is not just about | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
restricting access to certain sites I'm a parent need to be up`to`date | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
with the latest trends. In a lot of cases, the students will know more | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
about the internet and technology than their parents will, so it is | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
very easy for them to pull the wool over parents eyes. I think parents | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
worry about who they will meet and they imagine that there are lots of | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
people that young people should not meet out there and think `` and I | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
think it is a worry for parents. The biggest concern for students will be | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
the lack of privacy. They need to understand that once they have | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
shared something that they maybe should not share on a platform that | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
can be accessed by anyone, they cannot get that privacy back. A | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
national survey has found that only 19% of parents have spoken to their | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
children about sending sexually explicit photos, and only 39% about | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
protecting their personal information. Less than one in five | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
parents have spoken to their children about what they should do, | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
about the reporting cyberbullying or about sexual excitation, so we have | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
to make a bigger effort as a society to make sharp people know how to | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
deliver the messages `` sexual exploitation, so we have to make the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
correct as a society to help people know how to deliver the message. If | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
you want to find out more about keeping children safe online you can | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
go to saferinternet.org.uk. Three years ago, Alex Stringer, who | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
lives in Essex, was severely injured in Afghanistan. He lost an arm and | :19:27. | :19:39. | |
both legs. But now he's making a new life for himself as a designer. | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
Today his latest creation was unveiled at a recovery centre set up | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
by Help for Heroes in Colchester. It's a picnic table for people with | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
disabilities. A young soldier named Alex Stringer was injured here in | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Afghanistan. A device is triggered off and it resulted in the loss of | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
my legs. This photograph of Alex was taken by Bryan Adams, the rock | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
musician, and it described the soldiers as having cheated death. | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
How are you coping with these injuries? The injuries are fine. My | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
family is there to pick me up and keep me smiling. Alex and his family | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
receive support here, a recovery centre run by the charity Help for | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
Heroes 's, and he won the staff's admiration. He is one tenacious | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
individual. He has some very serious challenges. He wants to become a | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
designer, and he got work at a centre which creates career | :20:44. | :20:44. | |
opportunities for people disabilities. I think seeing someone | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
who worked in the Army, who was having to have a different and | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
drastic career change, inspired other people to step up a little bit | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
more, want to work in different sorts of ways, recognise that they | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
could do more, and certainly, for the younger people who work in our | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
factory, he has been an absolute inspiration. And this is his first | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
creation, a picnic table where wheelchair users can sit | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
side`by`side with their families. Nice and proud. Unlike a normal | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
bench, it has a gap in the middle of the seat soaked a wheelchair can get | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
in the middle of the people sitting down. `` in the middle of a seat, so | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
a wheelchair can get in the middle. It is not going to rot or melt or | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
get broken easily. People say that you are an inspiration. How do you | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
respond? I do not see that. People have said that to me but I just | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
crack on. It is life and you have to get on with it. He is already | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
working on his next project, and he is hoping to begin studying | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
architecture. That is a good story, isn't it? | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
Luckily we haven't heard too many people tell us it's good weather for | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
ducks, but it is, and it's pretty good for swans as well. Over the | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
last few weeks, the water levels at the bird centre at Welney have gone | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
up by at least three feet. But for the staff, it's a big problem, | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
especially at feeding time. At the wetlands centre here in | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Welney, they are used to flooding, it happens every winter, but this | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
year, the water is much higher than normal, so high that this is the | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
only way they can feed the thousands of birds to migrate here, using a | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
floating wheelbarrow. We take fresh water from five counties in the | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
local area, which is what we are seeing at the moment, and up until | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Boxing Day, we were going out in our rain boots and walking along the end | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
of the lagoon and speeding them, and now we have the floating | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
wheelbarrow. `` and feeding them. Welney was founded 60 years ago by | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Sir Peter Scott, son of the famous Arctic explorer, and it is the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
largest wetland centre in the UK, and home each winter to 20,000 | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
migrating birds. These swans are among hundreds to migrate here every | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
winter, and in fact, ! Is the biggest swan roost `` Welney is the | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
biggest swan roost in the country. This is the trust stockman. Most of | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
the year, he tends to cattle, but this year, it has been strictly wet | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
suit work. I love doing this. I used to work in an office, but being out | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
here is just amazing. When you are out there in the evenings with the | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
swans and you have 500 swans flocking around you, it is just | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
incredible. For some of the usual visitor tracker winter visitors, | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
this water is all too much, `` for some of the usual visitors, this | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
water is all too much, but there are still plenty of mouths to feed and | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
plenty of voyages left for the floating wheelbarrow. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
Too wet for swans? The weather going to get any better? No. We have yet | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
more wet and windy weather coming up in the next two to four hours or so. | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Here is the satellite radar from earlier on. The rain cleared off | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
into the North Sea and some sunshine developed for the afternoon as the | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
wind eased down, as to the west, that club of showers is starting to | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
push in a part `` across parts of Wales, and it is heading in our | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
direction tonight. The seating starts off dry with the odd isolated | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
shower, but there will be showers through the night. The chance of a | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
frost developing. After midnight, the clouds increasing from the West, | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
the showers will creep their way eastwards. As you can see, there are | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
hints over the high ground is a little bit of sleet or wet snow | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
mixed in in any of the heavier downpours stopped otherwise, a | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
mixture of rain and hail as well. `` downpours. Quite chilly, but with | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
that breeze, I think most places will be frost free by the end of the | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
night. Tomorrow's weather is all about this next area of low pressure | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
coming up from the South West. The centre of a news update two parts of | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
Scotland, but for us, it will give some heavy rain. The tightly packed | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
isobars, and particularly behind the main rain through the course of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
tomorrow afternoon. Some dry rain `` some dry weather through the morrow | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
morning at least, and going into the afternoon, we will get this band of | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
heavy rain across the region, and some of it were the quite heavy. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
Temperatures six or seven degrees, but factoring in the wind it will | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
feel much more colder than those that use would suggest. A yellow | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
warning is out for the wind. There could be some disruptions into the | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
evening. Widespread gusts of 45`50 mph, and perhaps up to 60 along the | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
coast. Even how saturated the ground is, we could see some trees falling | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
over. `` given how saturated. Some pretty gusty winds continuing right | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
away to the course of the evening. As you can see, gusts along the | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
coasts. Inland, 50 mph gusts or so. Things will quiet down for Thursday, | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
a sigh of relief. A lot of dry weather and some sunshine around as | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
well, so make the most of it, because on Friday, under a deep area | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
of pressure coming up from the south, eventually bringing in rain | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
as we go through the latter part of Friday and into Friday night. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Thursday, the best day of the week. It means a cold night, though, with | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
a widespread frost, and Friday is dry, but there will be rain in the | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
evening and will turn heavy overnight, accompanied by strong | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
winds. Blustery showers returning for Saturday going into Sunday. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
There is your weather. Thank you very much. I think. That is all from | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
us. See you tomorrow night. Goodbye. | :27:11. | :27:18. |
