Welcome to Thursday's Look East Spotlight on the quality of care in | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
our hospitals. The wealth `` health watchdogs ranks each one before the | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
inspections begin. Clearly, issues like the loss of | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
nurses from our hospitals is having a big impact on patient care. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
One of our most iconic footwear brands is sold in a deal worth 300 | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
million. Why the launch of this year's poppy | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
appeal means so much to one of our soldiers. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
And, the lifeblood of our soil ` how the humble worm needs a little TLC. | :00:47. | :01:02. | |
Good evening. First tonight. How good is your | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
hospital when it comes to quality of care? The health watchdog the Care | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Quality Commission has today given each hospital in the country a score | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
based on the risk it poses to patients. One is the worst, six is | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
the best. Why? Well, to help it prioritise which hospitals to | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
inspect first. Northamptonshire has fared the worst in this region. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
We'll hear from the health watch group there, after this report from | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Mike Cartwright: the health care we receive is under scrutiny. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Northampton general rank among the highest risk hospitals. Criticised | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
heavily in past inspections for how it dispense medicines and for having | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
too few staff to keep patients say. We have two treat more people in the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
community, that is why Urgent Care Centres are great. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
But we also need to address some of the issues about poor equipment and | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
about lack of resources in our hospitals. Issues like the loss of | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
nurses from our hospitals is having a big impact on patient care. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
Northampton general told us, we know there are areas where we need to | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
take action. The Care Quality Commission, careful | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
to stress these bands `` bands are for their guidance, and are not the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
hospital. Final rating. We have a screening tool that brings | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
together a whole lot of different information, and gives us the | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
impression of what the level of risk is in different hospitals. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
That lets us prioritise which hospitals we will go to first. But | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
we will never make our judgement about an individual hospital before | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
we have done a full inspection. The QE2 in Kings Lynn rated at `` as | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
a high risk hospital. Kettering general is in the second worst band. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Six of our trusts are ranked in bands three to four. | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
For Peterborough city Hospital, good news is rare. It has been criticised | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
for on the use and spiralling debts. We continue to look at the issues we | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
know are challenging within our environment. So we are particularly | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
focusing on urgent care, patients coming in as emergency amid `` | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
admissions, and the impact that has on our patients coming in for the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
elective surgery where we have to cancel patients. It is good news for | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Peterborough and for the local people. My dad has been here a | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
couple of times and the care he got was amazing. The better band at | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
hospitals will be in `` inspected at a later date. The high risk | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
hospitals will be inspected among the first. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
All trusts will be rated between inadequate and outstanding by the | :04:08. | :04:32. | |
end of 2015. We want an NHS that is caring, | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
efficient and responsive, and the more robust inspection approach that | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
the CQC has announced is very welcome. HealthWatch Northants wants | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
to work with the hospital and the CQC to make sure that the inspection | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
is a success, is robust, and really moves towards service improvement. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
We will talk about how you do that in a second, but of course that | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Hampton show has two main hospitals, and they are in the worst two | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
categories. Our people in the county being Phil | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Bennion HS? There is clearly a lot to do, there has been a lot of focus | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
on Kettering General Hospital, it is in the band two category so it `` | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
its inspection will come after the set of inspections in Northampton. | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
HealthWatch Northants is a new organisation, we are here to | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
champion the rights and needs of patients and people who use health | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
and social care in the county, and we have been flagging up with the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
NHS in Northamptonshire are concerns about the quality of health care. We | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
know that Kettering General has told us that after care for her patience | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
is no better, that operations were only cancelled at short notice | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
because of a busy spell last year, so they feel they are improving but | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
what do you think they need to do to live their ratings? There is | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
obviously a big issue around waiting times at both hospitals in accident | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
and emergency. Both hospitals are not meeting the Government's | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
standards for four our weight. The key for patients is knowing that | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
when they go into a hospital, they are going to get a quality | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
experience, they are going to be well looked after, that their | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
clinical outcomes are good to be improved, and that their care is | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
going to be safe. Those have to be the bottom line, and those are the | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
issues that we are concerned with. Police investigating the murder of a | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
man in Luton earlier this week have revealed he died from a stab wound | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
to the heart. Leonard Flower ` a retired computer analyst ` was | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
attacked while working in the garage of his home in Carnegie Gardens on | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Tuesday afternoon. Detectives from the major Crime Unit have arrested a | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
35`year`old man who is currently receiving medical treatment in | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
hospital for a hand injury. A man has been arrested in | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
connection with a road collision last night in which a woman died. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
The three`vehicle crash happened on the A10 between Little Thetford and | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Stretham just before eight o'clock. The victim has been named as | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
25`year`old Tania Macedo from Ely. A man and a three`year`old girl were | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
also injured. A 43`year`old man is being held on suspicion of driving | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
while unfit through either drink or drugs. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
One of the region's most iconic footwear brands, Doc Martens, has | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
been sold in a deal worth ?300 million. The Northamptonshire firm's | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
parent company, R Griggs Group, has been bought by Permira which owns | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
New Look and Hugo Boss. Our reporter Neil Bradford is outside the factory | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
in Wollaston for us now ` Neil, what more do we know about this deal | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
The deal brings to an end more than half a century of family ownership. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Doc Martens was founded in 1960 but they have been making shoes in | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Northamptonshire since 1901. As part of this ?300 million deal, Permira | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
now owned that family firm, and the perpetual rights to Doc Martens | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
This deal will take several months to complete, we understand it will | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
not be complete until January next year, and the family will retain a | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
20% stake in the company. Have we got any indication of how this | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
takeover might affect jobs? The company is in a good financial | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
position. Last year it posted pre`tax profits of around ?15 | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
million. It is one of the leading exporters from our region and its | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
products are now sold in more than 63 countries. It employs around 700 | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
people globally, 350 of them in the UK, and the chief executive has | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
today promised that this deal will not mean any job losses. To have | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
paid such a big price for a company based in Northamptonshire is a big | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
vote of confidence. The family, who were the previous owners, are | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
keeping a 20% stake in the business so there is some continuity, and | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
there is absolutely no reason nor desire to change the strategy of the | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
company, nor its value is not its culture. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
What more do we know about this company that has taken over? It is | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
one of your's biggest private equity firms, with ?22 billion worth of | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
investments including the designer Brand Hugo Boss and the high street | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
fashion brand New Look. It is likely to want to expand. `` Doc Martens' | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
presence online and in stores, particularly in the far east. They | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
have clearly spotted an opportunity, that is why they have paid such a | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
high price. But there will be mindful that no matter how iconic | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Doc Martens is, fashions do change from time to time. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
A karting company in Peterborough has been found guilty of health and | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
safety breaches, almost four years after an accident in which a | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
teenager died. The company Peterborough Raceway Ltd pleaded | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
guilty today at Peterborough Crown Court. Council investigators found | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
there had been a lack of health and safety risk assessments. The company | :10:06. | :10:17. | |
will be sentenced next month. An independent report says Norfolk | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
County Council could face a bill of ?25 million if it doesn't go ahead | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
with an incinerator in King's Lynn. It comes after the Government | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
withdrew its grant of ?169 million last week. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Those are altogether until the entity `` until | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
they educate their fans. Although the cloud still hangs over football, | :10:34. | :10:45. | |
it is time for action. Still to come tonight: We're live on | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
the red carpet at the Sir Bobby Breakthrough Ball. We'll be talking | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
to the Norwich City majority shareholder Delia Smith. | :10:53. | :11:07. | |
Do we need another runway in the South East of England. And where | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
should it go? Two questions being discussed by MPs at Westminster | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
today. Final decisions won't be made until after the next election. Our | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
political correspondent Andrew Sinclair has been monitoring the | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
debate. There one Particular Place that some | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
MPs quite keen on? That place is Boris Island. Many say that the | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
scheme is said to be impractical and very expensive. It could cost as | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
much as ?70 billion. But in the debate on whether Heathrow should be | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
allowed to expand, there was quite a lot of support for building a hub | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
airport of the tens `` off the coast of Essex on the Thames. There has | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
not been a single objection raised. Not cost, not sea`level, there is | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
not a single objection that is a show stopper. I do not believe the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
most is mystic forecast for the time it would take, the expense it would | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
take and so on. We lack imagination in this country. We struggled over | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the Channel Tunnel, we struggled over the real link to the Channel | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Tunnel. Why cant we realise that London deserves a good airport. | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
There were some MPs who thought Boris Island was a good idea. | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Stansted Harvey got a mention. The chairman of the Select Committee | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
said that they had looked very carefully at the idea of expanding | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
Stansted but had decided that new runways on their own will not | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
provide a long`term solution to the specific problem of hub capacity. It | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
is a sign that the debate is ever so slightly shifting away from | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Stansted. The demand now is to build a hub airport, not just new runways, | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
and it seems that Heathrow and Boris Island either main contenders. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
A former solider who was badly injured in Afghanistan has been | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
helping to launch the Poppy Appeal in this region today. Sam Jack, who | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
lives in Stansted, was not expected to survive when he was hit by a | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
bullet. He says the Royal British Legion helped him to get through it. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
This report from Gareth George. Sam Jack's former commanding officer | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
pins a poppy on his chest. He helped to launch the Poppy Appeal today and | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
is lucky to still be with us. During the two are in Afghanistan he was | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
hit by a ricocheted bullet fired from comrades's gun. The next thing | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
I remember is waking up in Birmingham hospital. I took of a | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
cushy to the head, it went into my eye. It stops just a millimetre away | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
from my brain. I am very lucky to be alive. The British Legion helps all | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
sorts of soldiers, old, still serving, the help that they gave is | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
second to none. It is really encouraging. Sam was in a | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
particularly grave condition when he left at the Ghana standard was | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
packaged up and put onto a plane. The percentage of him surviving was | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
actually pretty low `` when he left Afghanistan. Dizzy and confident, | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
smiling and happy as a real result for us. He has received a lot of | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
support from the Royal British Legion. He is one of our key | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
fundraisers and helps us to go round and generate some of the funds for | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
them. As well as remembering some people who died in past conflicts, | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
they are now helping service men and women injured in Afghanistan and | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
Iraq. They are young soldiers who are predominantly involved in the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
actor will like to look forwards to. The British Legion has a remit to | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
book after not only the family but also the dependents, the wife, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
children, but sometimes even the parents, right the way through long | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
time. It is hoped that stories like Sam Jack's will help more people | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
than ever before through this year's Poppy Appeal. | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
The widow of the former Ipswich Town manager Sir Bobby Robson has been in | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
Bury St Edmunds today opening new cancer facilities at the St | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
Edmundsbury Hospital. The Lady Elsie Robson Unit is designed to provide | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
better care for patients who might be suffering from breast cancer. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Tonight Lady Elsie will go to a fundraising ball. More on that in a | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
moment. But first Kevin Burch has this report. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Lady LCC is that she still has a soft spot for Suffolk. `` Lady Elsie | :15:51. | :16:05. | |
Roberts on. Last year she performed the official opening after an | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
upgrade in screening. Now things have improved even more, the | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
?250,000 cost covered through a legacy left to the friends of the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
hospital. What is different is that it is especially built round the | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
problems of patients with breast problems. What we have done is | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
integrated to facilities to allow our patients to be seen seamlessly | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
whilst all the time preserving their dignity and privacy. Cancer seems to | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
be touching so many people nowadays but one thing that the trustees felt | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
was that it was such a large amount of money that we wanted to be able | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
to fund something that we would not necessarily normally be able to do. | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
Sir Bobby Robson fought cancer five times, but in 2009, 17 years after | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
his first diagnosis, the long and courageous battle finally ended. The | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
legend was gone, but the legacy lives on. Through moments like this. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
When I was asked if my name could be attached to the special unit I was | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
humbled. They are so dedicated, it is wonderful. So much work goes on. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Dedication and love, I think. Have to put that in. I bet you thought | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
you were not going to get emotional, what happened? I know. I | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
just saw it and thought, that's main. I'm so happy to be associated | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
with what they do here. It is not just about bricks and mortar, they | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
say, it is about the people who work within the bricks and mortar, people | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
who lead the `` who Lady Elsie Roberts and described as wonderful. | :18:03. | :18:16. | |
And Delia Smith is at the Apex Theatre tonight. This is an example | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
of football doing good, isn't it? Indeed it is. It is great to see | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
people arriving and giving support to it. How well did you know Sir | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
Bobby Robson? We have been living in Suffolk for 42 years, so he and his | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
brother owned our local newspaper shop and his nephew played cricket | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
with Michael at the local cricket club. But also Sir Bobby Robson was | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
very kind to Michael and me when we became board members and give us a | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
lot of help and guidance. He was a great guy. Have you had a chance to | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
speak to his widow today? I have not. I have only just wait to her. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
We have kept in touch, we are very good friends. This is very | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
important, this work with screening for breast cancer. It is incredibly | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
important, and what this is about tonight is that everybody can help, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
everybody can get something, because the Serb be Auction and Ball is | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
online `` Sir Bobby Robson option and ball is online. What we are | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
trying to do is to get everybody to help out and come online and spend | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
some money and raise more money for the fund, which is doing such a good | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
job. If I can drop the ball for a second, you have been at Norwich | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
City now for ten years or more as a majority shareholder. How would you | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
enjoying life? About 20 actually! I was being nice! No, we are having | :19:56. | :20:06. | |
lots of fun, we love it. Michael and I are very passionate, as you well | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
know, and we love every minute of it. It is on a night like this and | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
every body comes together that you realise that whatever... On the | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
surface, we're competitive, but all football supporters support each | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
other and it is nice to be here tonight and to be doing that. Your | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
chief executive said the other day that he was embarrassed by how you | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
the league. How do you feel about it? I'm here tonight, Stewart, to | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
talk about the Sir Bobby Robson fundraising, not how I feel about | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
the football. So, shall we talk about that? Very good. You'll be | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
spending lots of money bidding on things tonight, will you? I'm sure | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
we will, and I'm sure everybody well. We are going to get a record | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
amount of money. Because everybody in this country, whoever they are, | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
once together `` wants to give a hand and help to fight cancer. Thank | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
you for being with us. Goodbye. Now a few fascinating facts about | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
earthworms. They are blind, they have a brain, and up to five hearts. | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
And, of course, they are vital for healthy soil and healthy crops. Now | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
a project is underway to find out more about worm welfare, because the | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
worm needs your help. Anna Todd has been digging with a group of | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
schoolchildren from Peterborough. Churning and twirling the soil, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
earthworms are like little tractors, miniature plays the underground. But | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
because they are so busy working day and, it's hard to keep tabs on how | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
they are doing. Which is why the Big Worm Dig is so important. | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
We need you to gather around a little bit. See if you can find any | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
worms. The names are all a bit Harry Potter. The soil eater, the water | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
dwellers. And the kids love them. There are different to other | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
animals, they have no legs. Remind you know that they are all | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
earthworms, but you do not know what type of earthworms they are, so I | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
like the surprise of it. Why are you washing the worm? To see what they | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
are like without the soil. It is a soil litre. What does it do? Judging | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
from its name I think it eats soil. We have the worm camera ready, | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
hopefully they will come to the surface. So far we wait, and wait. | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
Let's get down and dirty with some worms of wisdom. They have no | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
lungs, they breathe through their skin. They are hermaphrodites, when | :23:09. | :23:23. | |
they mate both worms have babies. Without worms, truly greedy? `` | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
we'll really be? We would be nowhere for oils dumber `` we would be | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
nowhere. It's worms that really helped to break things down. I have | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
to say, I'm not too keen, and I know I'm not the only one, but we should | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
all love worms, they bring life to the land in more ways than one. | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
I can hardly believe that, 2.5 metres, for a worm! You can find out | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
more about the project at riverford.co.uk/bigwormdig. People | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
will be sending me photographs of worms that 2.5 metres long! I do not | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
want them, but if anybody has seen one we would love to hear from you. | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
I do not mind creepy crawlies, but a two metre long worm, they do not | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
know. We have had light winds and sunny skies, does not get better | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
than that. But there are changes on the way. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
You can see this area of cloud moving and across the West Country. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
It will bring some windy conditions and some rain across the region | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
overnight tonight, but at the moment we finish the day with clear skies | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
and light winds. But those winds will freshen overnight into the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
early hours of tomorrow morning. There is not going to be a great | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
deal of rain on that front, mainly light and patchy. It will not really | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
get here until the early hours of tomorrow morning. Increasing amounts | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
of cloud, this rain coming through into the early hours, to or three | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
o'clock. Tracking eastwards overnight. Most of it will be late | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
and patchy, but there may still be the ought patchy burst. `` ought | :25:22. | :25:34. | |
heavy burst. Moderate to fresh breeze, it will be windy through | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
tomorrow. First thing tomorrow morning, some wet weather to clear, | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
but it should get away quite quickly. By mid to late morning most | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
places will be dry. There will be a bit of a legacy of cloud left | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
behind, but quite a warm ear mass. Temperatures may well claim to | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
around 17 or 18 degrees. Still quite breezy, but some sunny spells | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
developing into the afternoon. Looking ahead, Monday is a bit of a | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
concern. A deepening area of low pressure moving and off the | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
Atlantic. What does that mean for us? That had been some strong, | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
possibly damaging winds. At the moment there is some uncertainty | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
about the tract and strength of the low. This looks like the most | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
certain track. We are to the southern half of that and that could | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
mean some strong winds are part of the region. But we are quite a few | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
days out, it still late Thursday. Keep your eye on the forecast as the | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
story unfolds. What about the weekend? There is certainly an early | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
warning for the wind. That is for Sunday evening into Monday morning. | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
It will continue to strengthen, it certainly looks quite blustery by | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
Sunday. For Saturday, quite a lot of dry weather around. A strong | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
south`westerly breeze with some strong gust is. Some strong showers | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
around for Sunday and some of those could be on the heavy side. Keep | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
your eye on the forecast for Monday, because no doubt things will change, | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
but it does look like we will `` likely that we will see some wet and | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
windy weather. Thanks for your company. We'll see | :27:10. | :27:10. | |
you tomorrow night. This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland. | :27:11. | :27:54. | |
He's the one that's going to present us with | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
the ten grand. When we win it. | :27:57. | :27:59. |
