That's all from us. Now the news where you | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The evening. In the programme tonight: After the storm, more | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
misery for commuters and continuing power cuts for some. That and the | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
rest of today's's top stories now. Good evening. First tonight, | :00:20. | :00:52. | |
pharmacies lit by gas lamps, shopkeepers struggling to save | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
frozen food, rail passengers seriously delayed. They're just some | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
of the thousands of people who've been facing continuing disruption | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
today, 24 hours after the storm struck. Tonight, power companies say | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
around 40,000 homes in the East are still not reconnected and there are | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
still some problems on the trains. 24`hour it after the great storm of | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
2013, the centre of Sawbridgeworth is still in the dark. A few hours | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
grace last night gave this or pharmacist chance to catch up, and | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
then the lights went out again. We are managing, just about with | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
emergency prescriptions, but obviously, they have no computers, | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
we have no computers. We're doing the best we can with torches and | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
lanterns and things like that, because we have too. People need | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
medication. Further down the street, many shops haven't opened today | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
This man was up at 3am, throwing out ?1000 worth of stock from his | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
freezer. It is a lot of stuff that has gone in the bin. A lot. Only the | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
stuff on the sale or return, I have left for the companies. The rest of | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the stuff, I had no option to Bennett, because we can't sell it. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
All the traders I have spoken to have been helping each other out and | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
making the best of a bad situation. The one thing they all said is there | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
has been a significant lack of information. It has been very | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
difficult. I thought we might even have a leaflet through the door but | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
we had nothing. I was told we would wait 45 minutes to have anyone talk | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
to us on the phone. They could have acted a lot more efficiently than | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
they have done. As power companies worked to fit a lines, chop trees | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
were removed, and it was another tiresome morning on the trains. Half | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
term treats and business meetings were hanging in the balance. The | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
notice board says the trains are going to arrive in five minutes and | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
then it says cancelled. Who knows what the real story is. Today, I | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
thought it would be OK, so I surprised there is cancellations. It | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
would have been great if they got their act together. Network Rail | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
says it has not been easy. Trees left on stable fell overnight | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
causing more problems. We have stated objective that we wanted to | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
restore the network this morning. We didn't achieve that, and I am | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
partially disappointed that we didn't. I hope people will forgive | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
us on the basis of their sheer scale of damage. This afternoon, the light | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
came on, but it will take many local businesses here longer to recoup | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
their lost earnings. It's the job of UK Power Networks to | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
run and maintain the power lines in this region. Late this afternoon, I | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
spoke to Matt Rudling and asked why, when the storm was forecast, people | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
simply couldn't get through to their helpline. We had, yesterday, two | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
months worth of calls in one single day. Two months worth of calls. We | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
had three times on normal staffing levels, which we were prepared for, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
and we have been preparing over the weekend. We were as ready as we | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
could be, but the scale of the event and ferocity of the winds meant that | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
regrettably, some customers could not get through. I'm sorry about | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
that, but we have done everything we could do. What we have done today is | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
called back as many customers as we can, 10,000 calls today, to | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
customers who bought affected by the storm. We'll continue to do that | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
through the night and tomorrow, till this event is over and your | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
customers are resumed. Why is it taking so long to get people back on | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
to their supply? Over 90% of customers were restored in the first | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
24 hours. That is a good result By close of play tomorrow, we hope that | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
will be 98%. That is very good restoration performance. 500 | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
thousand people have had their power is restored. I apologise to those | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
who haven't, but we're doing everything we can. We have six times | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
the normal resources in place, and these resources are one people, | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
resources we have in from the other network operators. What are you | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
doing to protect customers against this in the future? We invest ? 60 | :05:55. | :06:04. | |
million per year and reinforcing our net work. We are investing heavily | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
in that. Whether we should put the cables underground, that is a | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
discussion we often have. It costs a lot more to put them underground, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
and we as customers would have to be about cost. These events are very | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
rare, and well we do have a number of customers without supply, the | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
vast majority have been restored, so I think we have the balance right. | :06:33. | :06:45. | |
A Jury has heard today that one or both parents of a baby boy inflicted | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
terrible injuries upon him and left him for dead. Jamie Kightley from | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Northampton was less than eight weeks old when he died. His mother | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Jacqueline Parker and father Adam Kightley are on trial for his | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
murder. Our reporter Mike Cartwright was in court. Some harrowing | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
evidence heard today, Mike? Yes the prosecution opened its case today, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
warning the jury of distressing subject matter. Jamie Kightley, only | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
seven weeks old, lost his life. The court was told he died from severe | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
brain injuries ` that there were more than 40 fractures to the bones | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
in his body ` his ribs and his legs ` and extensive bruising across his | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
body. Trauma, the jury was told inflicted in two assaults. One | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
around two weeks before died, the other, just hours before. Jamie | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Kightley's mother arriving in court in the hood here ` Jacqueline | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Parker, aged 21 ` is on trial for his murder, along with her partner | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
and Jamie's father, Adam Kightley ` both also on trial for causing or | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
allowing the death of the child The prosecution say that one or both of | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
them assaulted Jamie at the family's flat in London Road, Northampton | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
sometime between Friday the 16th Match 2012 and the following | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Saturday, causing his death. Effectively, both parents are | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
blaming each other ` both giving police different versions of what | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
happened. The court was told Adam Kightley said both parents washed | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
and fed Jamie in the early hours of Friday morning and put him to bed. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
He then says he found the baby not breathing the next morning. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Jacqueline Parkers says she felt sick on Friday night, went to bed, | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
and was woken by Adam the next morning screaming, "Babe, it's the | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
boy, he's not breathing." Adam Kightley told officers that he did | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
feel a little high, as he'd smoked some weed. He didn't feel drunk but | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
the couple had drunk four cans of Stella between them. Both say they | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
don't know how the injuries were caused, both deny murder. The trial | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
will last four weeks. Two members of staff have been | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
sacked after having sexual contact with a female detainee at the | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Yarlswood Immigration Centre. A surprise inspection at the | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
privately`run Bedfordshire site also raised concerns about how potential | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
human trafficking victims were treated, and about the detention of | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
pregnant women. A report says there have been improvements in other | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
areas but more needs to be done Elderly care home residents were | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
left lying for hours on painful bed sores at a nursing home in | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
Northampton, a disciplinary hearing has been told today. Five nurses | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
were called to answer allegations of neglect. The tribunal heard five | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
residents died within two weeks of each other in 2009 at Parkside | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Nursing Home. Louise Hubball reports. | :09:17. | :09:29. | |
Nurses, Mary Bisieri Ombui, Anastacia Maduli and Girlie Franklin | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
came to central London for a disciplinary hearing. The deputy | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
manager at the time also attended. Another manager failed to appear. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
The allegations have been brought by the nursing and midwifery Council, | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
who are based on the building behind me. This afternoon, the word red to | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
three members of an independent panel, who preside over the hearing. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
The tribunal heard disturbing evidence. The allegations relate to | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
ten residents of the Parkside Nursing Home in Northampton, who | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
were in the nurses care in April 2009. It is claimed on resident s | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
sewers were so bad, he omitted a smell akin to rotting flesh. They | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
also showed signs of severe and prolonged malnourishment. The | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
investigations into Parkside nursing home were prompted after | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
allegations. The home has since closed. The nurses have admitted the | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
charges against them on the basis that they worked nights shifts and | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
were told they weren't allowed to deliver certain elements of care. | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
Deputy manager Maria McKenzie and another nursemaid deny any | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
wrongdoing. The care nurse did not answer the charges, and the court | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
heard she is in retirement in Trinidad. | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
In Formula One, Ross Brawn will leave his position as Mercedes | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
principal at the end of the season. The team, based in Brackley near | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Milton Keynes, have failed to reach an agreement with him on a role in | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
which he'd have been happy to stay. Brawn masterminded Michael | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
Schumacher's seven world titles at Benetton and Ferrari and also headed | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Jenson Button's title`winning season. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Wolfswinkel has a toe injury and Alex Tettey could also miss out. | :11:32. | :11:32. | |
Kick`off is at 7.45pm and there's coverage on BBC Radio Norfolk. | :11:33. | :11:49. | |
Still to come: We are live by candlelight in a village in Essex | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
where they are still without power. And the campaign to recognise our | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Christmas Island veterans. Today Norfolk County Council's | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
cabinet formally approved the plans to build a waste incinerator in | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
King's Lynn. It is the latest stage in a long and controversial saga | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
which may not yet be at an end. The original decision to build a | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
waste incinerator was made in 2006. Two years later the site at | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Saddlebow on the outskirts of King's Lynn was purchased. The protests | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
started soon after, and in a referendum 65,000 people voted | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
against. The council decided the poll was meaningless and pressed | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
ahead. The Government ordered a public inquiry and we're still | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
waiting for the result of that. But two weeks ago the Government | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
withdrew financial support. Then yesterday the full council voted to | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
go ahead and build the incinerator after a warning that to pull out | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
would leave them open to a claim for compensation. And it's not over yet. | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair reports. | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
They are not out of the woods yet, today it is expected that the | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Cabinet will formally approve the incinerator and for the developer is | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
another milestone has been cleared. You'll mark ``. There has been | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
debate on all sides. It represents good value for money. We will | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
continue to work with the people of Norfolk and deliver a great | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
infrastructure project. But there is still one big hurdle. Eric Pickles | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
has the final say and he is being heavily lobbied to reject the | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
scheme. But if incinerator is rejected the council will still face | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
a compensation bill of around ?25,000. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Mr Timmins told the meeting that the council would not be able to use its | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
reserves, and despite what local MPs have suggested, he thought it would | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
be unlikely that they would be allowed to borrow the money. He said | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
that the councils may want to start asking officers to hold back on | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
spending in case Eric Pickles rejects the plans. Councillors left | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
the meeting in a sombre Mead. To find 24 million in the final phases | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
of this financial year would have catastrophic consequences. Why on | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
earth did this administration and previous administrations nor there | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
was a risk of planning failure, it was on the risk register. Why did | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
they not start putting money aside earlier. If Eric Pickles approves | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
the scheme it will not be a problem and building work will start your | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
next summer. If it doesn't, this will become a very real debate in a | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
few months's time. George Nobbs is a leader of Norfolk | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
county council. This is a real mess, isn't it? It is not a mess, it is a | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
situation we have inherited, it is not perfect. But just one thing, we | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
did not decide today to go into a contract, what we decided today was | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
not to cancel the contract. Saw you have no plans to build it? That is | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
not what I'm saying. The contract was signed many years ago, `` the | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
contract was discussed many years ago, signed 18 months ago. We had to | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
decide whether to withdraw from the contract and pay penalties. We have | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
?180 million worth of cuts to make. We are now ?169 million worth of `` | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
worse off because of the withdrawal of PFI credits. We have | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
extraordinary challenges to face. We could not pay another ?30 million. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Can I ask you about that point that someone mentioned in the film, why | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
did you not think about those savings when you were elected on me | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
the fifth? We took office on me the 24th. We were told then that we had | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
?140 million worth of cuts that we had to make because of the cut in | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
government grants. Within one month, because of changes in government | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
grants, we were told we had to make another ?45 million on top of that. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
We were not planning at any time to say that we would increase that by | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
cancelling the contract. I'm in crested. `` interested. You said it | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
was not a mess, it sends like it is to me. You'll mark I will tell you | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
why it is a mess, it is because the government granted this... It is a | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
council thing. Norfolk county council have got themselves into | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
this problem. The government have the rate withdraw that. You are | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
wrong. One of my predecessors, when they signed the contract they were | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
promised ?169 million of government grant. If you have a public enquiry | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
the government can withdraw that. Government inquiry has nothing to do | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
with the PFI contract. The government decided earlier this year | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
that they would look at all of the outstanding PFI grants to see if | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
they wanted to continue in order to save government spending. When they | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
decided to weeks ago, at the behest of some of our MPs, to... Who you | :17:27. | :17:41. | |
are not very happy with X . I have to ask you one last question. Have | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
you heard from Eric Pickles, is there a nod and a wink that you will | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
get the money? No, I have not. But we will be in touch with Mr pickles. | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
Veterans of nuclear tests carried out in the 1950s have taken their | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
fight for compensation to Westminster today. More than 1,000 | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
men say they and their families have suffered ill health since the | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Christmas Island tests. The Essex MP John Baron held a Commons debate | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
this afternoon. We'll be hearing from him in a moment, but first this | :18:16. | :18:28. | |
from Simon Newton. A few mistakes were made because | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
they had no idea what would happen, no thought seemed to have gone into | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
it. Now aged 74, David was a teenage airman posted to Christmas Island. | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Within a few weeks of coming home my gums started to bleed and within six | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
months, I was actually losing teeth. Like thousands of other veterans, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
David believes that exposure to the nuclear blast left him with a | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
lifetime of health problems, including a seizure, an aneurysm and | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
spinal problems. We all sat with her back to it, that is probably one of | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
the reasons why. He later developed bowel and stomach cancer. The MoD | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
has long denied any link, but today John Baron led a Westminster debate | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
calling for their sacrifice to the recognised. The signs were unknown, | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
the risk was unquantifiable, but the cost to the veterans and their | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
descendants was very severe indeed. We just want the recognition and | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
perhaps a handshake to say that we are sorry that we did this to you. | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
Only a few thousand atomic veterans still survive. Some believe it is | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
now time to give up, but David is determined they should not be | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
forgotten. For him and many others it remains a battle worth fighting. | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
This afternoon I spoke to the MP John Baron and began by asking | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
whether it was recognition or compensation that was really | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
important to the veterans and their families. First of all, official | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
recognition from the Prime Minister, preferably oral but in rating if | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
necessary, making clearer debt of gratitude to these veterans. But the | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
establishment of a ?25 million benevolent fund that would be | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
distributed on the basis of need, not entitlement, to help veterans | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
and their descendants when it came to care. There is also a health | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
needs analysis, helping veterans through the NHS, which has been | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
successful. This is a campaign that has been going on for many years | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
now, are you still optimistic about getting this benevolent fund and the | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
current economic situation? Yes, I am. The reason being that this is a | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
just cause and it is wrong that needs to be righted. The government | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
has a track record of doing just that, I can think of thalidomide | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
that ends. `` victims. The nuclear test falls into this camp. We should | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
never forget that there is a legacy that we would these veterans. A debt | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
of gratitude that we have not yet fully acknowledged. We need to put | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
that right, for the sake of not just the veterans, but also their | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
descendants. But are you running out of time on this? We have been | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
fighting a Parliamentary campaign for a few years now. We rankle most | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
at the bottom of what we call the international table of decency when | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
comparing how other countries treat their test veterans `` we rank | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
almost at the bottom. Canada, the Isle of Man. Or you had to prove is | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
that you were at the test and you are ill and you will get a payment, | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
you do not have to prove a causal link. In this country very elderly | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
veterans have to go through a very torturous war pension scheme which | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
often feels. That is clearly wrong, we are at the bottom of the | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
International table of decency and the time has come to put that right. | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
Back now to our top story, and the tens of thousands of homes still | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
without power after yesterday's storm. Homes and businesses are | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
affected. Neil Bradford is at a pub in the | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
village of Stebbing in Essex. Good evening. I suppose we could say | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
we are in deepest, darkest Essex. Perfect for stargazing, not the best | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
for finding your way around. We very nearly did not find this pub, but I | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
am glad that we did. Although it has been without heating and electricity | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
since yesterday it does of course have a warm welcome. At has become a | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
focal point for the community. Let us talk to some residents about how | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
they have been coping. How have you been coping without power? It's | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
getting to be a bit of a drag now, to be honest with you. The biggest | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
problem at home as the freezer, the food is going off. You cant watch | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
television, can do anything. I have been over at `` you cannot do | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
anything. I have been over at the golf course. I have not tried to get | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
out, but plenty of people have and they have come in here. We just sit | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
and wait. Conflicting messages from companies. The reserve roaring log | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
fire here. Let's talk to the landlord of the white cart. It has | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
brought the community together, but it must be difficult trading like | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
this? It is difficult, with the glass washer and cooking especially. | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
And food. You normally do food, but you have not been able to? The odd | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
sandwich, that is it. As of tomorrow everything goes out. How much longer | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
do you think you can cope? Who knows. The bear is hanging in there, | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
but it is warming up, which is not good. `` the lager. At least it has | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
brought the community together. UK Power Networks has been on the | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
village checking on the vulnerable and that is what they are asking you | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
to do. If you are in power affected village, check on your neighbours. | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
Time for the weather. Stebbing make be without power, but | :25:11. | :25:20. | |
look at the dramatic sunset they have had this evening. We have | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
spared the pictures up so that you can see the sun sinking behind the | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
trees. It will be a fine start to the day tomorrow, but not before | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
temperatures have dropped quite sharply. We have a ridge of high | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
pressure is starting to move them from the south`west. That will mean | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
light winds and clear skies. For some of us a touch of ground frost. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
It will stay dry overnight tonight and for much of the night those | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
quiet skies stay clear. We are dropping down into single figures | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
quite widely across the region. Certainly we could get close to two | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
or three Celsius in more oral spots. A bit of a crisp spot `` in more | :26:05. | :26:24. | |
rural spots. Virtually unbroken sunshine through the morning, a bit | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
of a chilly start but those temperatures could claim perhaps a | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
little higher than they could today. A bit of a brisk south`westerly | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
breeze, that will tend to freshen during the day and you will start to | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
see Clay developing into the western half of the region. That rain | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
arriving for most of us overnight into the early hours of Thursday | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
morning. It may just take its time to clear. Developing low could be | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
interesting for the weekend. Promising some and windy weather, | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
but the track of it still not quite established yet. It does look as if | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
it will turn am settled. Some rain to clear for the eastern half on | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
Thursday. The risk of one or two showers for the afternoon. Into | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Friday, we may get away with a dry but cloudy start with some rain | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
pushing on and the next system for Friday, it is looking like it could | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
be quite wet and windy to start the weekend. Tonight is the night that | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
we have the risk of ground frost. Certainly some chilly weather still | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
on the way. Thank you very much indeed. | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
Stay warm, we'll see you tomorrow night. | :27:38. | :27:38. | |
Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:41. |
