News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. In the programme tonight, bottom of the class again. | :00:07. | :00:18. | |
The damning report from Ofsted as the East is ranked worst in the | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
country of standards of education. Also tonight, the priest and | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
academics sacked after complaints about his conduct. The Church of | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
England has launched a major investigation. We will be here later | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
with the programme with an international approach to take the | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
quiet crisis of dementia more seriously. This meeting today is | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
arguably the most significant event in dementia since Alzheimer's | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
described the disease. And the Cobblers, the Saints and the steel | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
backs behind the wheel at Silverstone. | :00:54. | :01:03. | |
Good evening. A quarter of a million children in | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
this region are being taught in schools which aren't good enough, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
the verdict today from the chief inspector of Ofsted. The East has | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
emerged as one of the worst areas in the country for primary schools Out | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
the country for primary schools. Out of 150 local authorities, | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Peterborough and Cambridgeshire rank in the bottom 10%. But there was | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
praise for Bedford, where 95% of pupils attend good or outstanding | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
schools, followed by Central Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
Secondary schools are improving but they, too, are still lagging behind | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
the rest of England. This report from Ben Bland. | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
This afternoon we will be writing a recount.... A well`behaved school. | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
This is the same even when the cameras aren't there. It is partly | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
what the makes the school successful. You need a good policy | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
shared with all the children, the staff, the parents, and it's got to | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
be consistent across the school, be consistent across the school | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
everybody sharing and doing exactly the same thing. It's not just the | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
school doing well. Primary schools across Bedford are amongst the best | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
performing in England. I think it is all about involving everybody in the | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
school community in the work you do to make sure everyone understands | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
what the score's objectives are and what needs to be done to improve | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
standards, and also that schools work together, which we all do very | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
well here. In Peterborough, there are problems. Ofsted says 6,000 | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
pupils are being taught in primary schools that are not good enough | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
making it one of the worst areas in the region and the country. Parents | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
seem to be giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm not saying there | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
aren't schools without problems but aren't schools without problems, but | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
in any city, you'll get that. There are parts where there aren't good | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
schools but over the side, it's OK. You have to ride it out and I think | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
you can support at home as well. you can support at home as well. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Peterborough City Council admits it has work to do but in a statement | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
they say... The local MP says the area faces | :03:11. | :03:23. | |
particular challenges. It is the level of churn in primary schools, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
those children that start off in a school but are not there at the end | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
of the academic year, and those who are not there at the beginning but | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
finish the academic year, that puts enormous strain on resources in | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
terms of teaching, teaching assistants and the school budget. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Secondary schools are also lagging behind England as a whole. Ofsted | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
says they are improving but there is more work to be done. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
In his report today, Sir Michael Wilshaw doesn't hold back. He said | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
poor leadership and teaching are leading to mediocre education. Neil | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Bradford's been to meet one head teacher in Northamptonshire who is | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
getting results. Eight years ago, Duston School was | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
failing. Last month for the first time Ofsted inspectors rated it is | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
outstanding. The transformation has been overseen by principal Jane | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Herriman who is now helping other schools improve. It's about being | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
able to celebrate with the staff here and moving the Duston School | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
into its next sphere of creativity and how we will support and work | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
with other schools and trying to get the other schools that we are | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
supporting to realise that we do understand, we know where you are, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
and we can help you and work with you to make those rapid changes. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
and we can help you and work with you to make those rapid changes. | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Jane still has big ambitions for the Duston School but now splits her | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
time between another secondary school in Northampton and 130 miles | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
away in Bletchley. She admits continual changes to inspection | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
standards can be a challenge. When you think you've got to the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
finishing line, that line is ever changing, but that is the world | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
we're in at the moment and we can never be complacent and sit back. We | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
have got to look to the future. And the future is these young people. | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
Down the motorway, Jane Herriman is working with senior staff at the Sir | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Herbert Leon Academy in Bletchley to help raise standards. She became | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
executive principle here just six weeks ago. She says there is a long | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
way to go and no magic formula. It is not one size fits all. You need | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
to understand the community you're dealing with. And it starts with the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
adults in school and making sure that adults are doing the most | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
appropriate systems. Then we need to explain those systems to young | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
people. And we all need agree on what the consequences are who are | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
not following those systems. Reaching the standard set by Duston | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
School will take time. But Jane Herriman believes the key to | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
improving children's learning is teachers learning from each other. | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
Ofsted believes leadership is key to improvement. Are we about to see | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
some heads teachers sacked? I asked the Ofsted regional director Sean | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Harford. Head teachers are moved on, sacked, | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
if you like, anyway, so it is a bit of a myth outside education that | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
head teachers don't lose their jobs. But I think that clearly where | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
people are not doing the job they need to, their role needs to be put | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
under scrutiny. Some of the schools have had poor performance ratings | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
for some time and if it is so easy to fix this, why hasn't it been done | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
before? We are not saying it is easy to fix, but we know it can be done. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
There are a lot of examples across the region where schools that have | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
languished, if you like, an academy in Norfolk, for example, but the | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
right leadership was put in place and this school is now outstanding. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
It might be tough but it can be done. Pupils exam results are also | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
below the average. We are failing them, aren't we? The issue really is | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
that there are lucky and unlucky children. I live in Cambridgeshire. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
My jewellery went to a great high risk will and to a great secondary | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
school. But 30 miles up the road, in Wisbech, parents will have a very | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
different experience. That is the danger, isn't it? We might defect | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
late head teachers who have worked hard because despite the overall | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
poor standard, there are some outstanding schools. It's crucial to | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
identify where things are going wrong and where things are going | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
well and people are given credit for that. And that those schools work | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
with weaker schools to improve them. In terms of an immediate recovery | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
plan, what needs to happen in the next few months and where will | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
schools be in the year from now? People need to focus absolutely on | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
what is going on in the classroom, get the environment right in the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
classrooms and in the schools so that teachers can do their job | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
effectively with those youngsters. We have seen bad behaviour, but we | :08:38. | :08:49. | |
noticed that there is an acceptance of low`level disruption. And that | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
means children can't learn effectively in schools, week in, | :08:54. | :08:54. | |
effectively in schools, week in week out. | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
A senior priest and Cambridge University academic has been sacked | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
after complaints were made about his contact with vulnerable young men in | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
his care. The Reverend Canon Dr Fraser Watts is the subject of a | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Church of England safeguarding investigation involving the Diocese | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
of Ely, the University and the Police. Dr Watts is a former | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
president of the British Psychological Society. This | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
exclusive report from home affairs correspondent Sally Chidzoy. | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
Reverend Canon Dr Fraser Watts is an internationally renowned academic | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
psychologist and he let this church in Cambridge but now he is the focus | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
of the church safeguarding investigation. Honourable men who | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
sought Pastoral and spiritual support from Dr Watts have made | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
complaints against him. Sources have told the BBC a number are faced | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
sexual nature. Dr Watts was employed by Trinity Hall behind me, Cambridge | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
University said he had resigned and was no longer associated with the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
university and they were working with the church may safeguarding | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
investigation. The church itself said that Dr Watts no longer had | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
permission to officiate at the diocese of Ely and they were working | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
closely with the police and the University on the investigation. | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
University on the investigation According to sources, Dr Watts was | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
told, resign or be sacked. He was excluded from Queens' College where | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
he was a fellow and reader in theology and science. The church | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
were Dr Watts can no longer conduct services belongs to Trinity Hall. In | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
a newsletter, the acting vicar chaplain told churchgoers... | :10:32. | :10:46. | |
Six years ago, Reverend Canon Dr Fraser Watts attack could `` | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
attracted media attention when he announced Eucharist services for | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
goths. Are you a goth? No, I am not. You look like one. Tonight I am The | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
You look like one. Tonight I am! The diocese of Ely received a complaint | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
against the priest four years ago. The police concluded there was | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
insufficient evidence. It is understood that the Reverend Canon | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Dr Fraser Watts was asked not provide past will support to young | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
men but his colleagues were unaware of the safeguarding concerns. Since | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
then, there have been a number of fresh complaints. This comes back to | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the structural problems with safeguarding in church | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
organisations. Too much reliance placed on the Bishop, and the | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
designated safeguarding officer within the dioceses to make the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
decisions. They cannot make in any real sense be considered to be | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
independent. At his home in Cambridge, the Reverend Canon Dr | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Fraser Watts declined to answer any questions about the complaints made | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
against him. He said he would not comment while the investigation is | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
ongoing. One complainant told the BBC it was an extremely sensitive | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
time for him. The police say they are aware of the safeguarding matter | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
and they have not received any complaints at the time. | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
A man accused of killing a pensioner in a row over a parking space told a | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
court today that he acted in self defence. Retired builder Alan Watts | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
says he was attacked by Brian Holmes after he sarcastically questioned | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
his right to park in a disabled bay. He told the jury he punched Mr | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Holmes at the ASDA store in Biggleswade. And that he then drove | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
off because he was scared and wanted to get away. Mr Watts denies | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
manslaughter. The trial continues. A man and a woman have had to jump | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
to safety from a house fire this morning. A second woman had to be | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
rescued through the first`floor window of the property in Daniels | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Welch in Coffee Hall in Milton Keynes just after 4am. The fire | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
service said the blaze was so intense inside it burnt away the | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
stairs. An investigation is under way. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Latest figures show a growing number of businesses are choosing Milton | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Keynes as the place to set up. The total number of business units in | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
the new town has risen by almost 400 in the last year. The council says | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
with a growing economy more jobs are being created. Some businesses have | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
chosen to base their European headquarters in the town. | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
There is an awful lot of technology oriented people based in Milton | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
Keynes, a lot of technology companies growing here. The UKTI led | :13:23. | :13:32. | |
us to being here in Milton Keynes. There seems to be a high presence of | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
people in the surrounding towns with language skills as well. | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
The Northampton`based chain 99p Stores is to open 70 new shops over | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
the next two years. The company is investing ?25 million which it says | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
will create more than 2,000 jobs. The chain has grown rapidly in | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
recent years following the demise of Woolworths in 2008. Those are the | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
top stories. Alex | :14:01. | :14:01. | |
jobs. The ballot will be held between now and January sixth. | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
Still to come: Living with dementia, we report on a big step forward in | :14:11. | :14:19. | |
research in this region. These sports men are good at rugby, | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
football and cricket, but can they drive? | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
Six days after the tidal surge swept down the region's coast, work has | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
begun on repairing the damage caused to sea defences. The Environment | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Agency says it's too early to say how much it will all cost but it | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
will take time and money. Today, the Minister in charge of the recovery | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
programme chaired a meeting in Whitehall. We'll be hearing from | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
Brandon Lewis in a moment. But first, our environment reporter | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Richard Daniel has been to see the diggers in action in Suffolk trying | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
to plug the gaps. It was built following the floods of 1953. But it | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
was no match for the surge of 2013. This was one of 22 places in Suffolk | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
where sea and river walls were breached, as were many more in | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
Norfolk. Here's the point where the water poured in. During the search, | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
the sea came over this whole. There was pressure on the front edge. What | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
they think happened is the water went mind as it came over. It | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
created a weakness which caused the wall to fall. Heavy machinery | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
arrived to make emergency repairs. Locals say not enough has been done. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Banks slump, they lose height over a period of time, that would have had | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
an effect this particular case, because there are at least 120 | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
metres of topping and a lesser amount in the other direction. | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
Norfolk and Suffolk's defences for the brunt of last week's North Sea | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
surge. The extent of the damage and the cost is still being assessed. | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
Months of work lie ahead, the cost is expected to run into millions of | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
pounds. With the field teams and contractors we are going out of the | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
most urgent locations and filling them with clay. We are doing | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
emergency repairs so we can stop any further tide coming in right. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
Ultimately, we will come back and assess these locations to see what | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
further work will be needed. The environment agency is drafting in | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
extra staff. They said the immediate priority is to plug the gaps that | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
have left properties and communities at risk. A committee to oversee the | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
reconstruction of homes and businesses met for the first time. I | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
spoke to Brandon Lewis, the MP. He said there will not be any extra | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
money so I asked how the work will be paid for. At the moment, local | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
authorities, the agencies charged with the clear process, arguing that | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
work. The government has activated the Bellwin Scheme, so local | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
authorities can make a claim to central government. It is a | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
well`known scheme. They have used it in floods before. They will be | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
recompensed for that. The environment agency is assessing the | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
damage. They will assess that as part of their budget. They have an | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
ongoing budget in terms of flood work and repair work and flood | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
protection. That has increased under this government and in my own can | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
Rich Ricci, just next year, there is a scheme to improve it. `` my own | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
constituency. What have your constituents been saying about help | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
from government? Obviously, I have a role to look at what we're doing, to | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
make sure the clear up work is going ahead properly across the country. | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
As a constituency member of Parliament for great Yarmouth I have | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
two sides of it. We have residents who have benefited this year from | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
the work that was done, and the town centre was not as badly hit, and we | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
have a further ?28 million of work starting next year, that is | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
fantastic news to protect about 15,000 properties. We still have | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
work to do around the coastal erosion issue. Part of this is | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
making sure whatever work is done is the correct work. Making sure the | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
experts have looked at it and the money is being spent to give help to | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
those areas. How worried are you about future flooding events? We are | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
always against nature. The internal work that is being done will give us | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
further protection, but when we get a surge like that, even with flood | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
defences and coastal erosion work, there will not necessarily be | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
protection from the harshest realities of nature, particularly as | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
an island nation. There is a concern about why it is important that the | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
planning work is done. Local groups did amazing work making sure those | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
preparations are in place. They paid dividends to make sure areas like | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
great Yarmouth could evacuate. If we have that, the important thing is | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
people remain safe by listening to the advice they are given by all of | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
the agencies, the emergency services, the environment agency, he | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
the warnings and stay safe. `` he'd the warnings. As you may have seen, | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
world leaders are ` for the first time ` coming together to talk about | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
dementia. It's given hope to a Cambridge charity that has for years | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
worked towards treatment and a cure. Today Alzheimer's Research UK | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
announced it's going to spend ?3m to boost research into finding the | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
right drugs. Anna Todd has been to meet two women whose lives have been | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
turned upside down by the disease. In their late 80s, life began to | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
change for Mary and Fred Carling. She could not make a cup of tea. | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Things like that. She put frozen food into a draw. `` drawer. They | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
started arguing in ways that they had not done before. Their daughter | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
watched as dementia set in. My father was diagnosed and we were | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
told there was nothing we could do. My mother was not diagnosed, the | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Doctor said there was not much point giving her any medication. Today, | :20:49. | :20:57. | |
world leaders pledged treatments and cures by 2025. Arguably the most | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
significant event in dementia and Alzheimer's described the disease. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
We are tasked with making it more visible than it has ever been | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
before. Hope is hard to come by. Most drugs trials fail. On the back | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
of this summit, one Cambridge charity is pulling together a | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
consortium, research experts from all sectors. Why has it taken so | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
long for the world to come together? It may be that some ageism is at | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
play. That is perhaps one reason it has not received the attention it | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
deserves. Another is we have not had many success stories and I think | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
success breeds success. It is too late for Sarah Kane's husband, who | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
was diagnosed with Alzheimer's age 43. I don't have children, | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
grandchildren, I will probably not grow old with the man I was | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
expecting to grow old with. Together in a care home, Mary and Fred | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Carling did just that. They celebrated their platinum wedding | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
anniversary in the home. In spite of everything, they loved each other | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
right up until the end. If you have any questions or | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
concerns about dementia you can get some very useful advice from Age UK. | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
You can ring them on 0800 169 6565 or log on to their website. It is: | :22:30. | :22:39. | |

their rugby boots and cricket bats today, for the wheel of a fast car | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
at Silverstone. The idea was to see how stars from Northampton's | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
football, cricket and rugby teams would get on around the circuit. | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Driving a fast car is one thing but tearing round in the fog this | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
morning proved to be a real challenge.Mike Liggins was there. | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
Alex Weekley was trying on his motor racing uniform for size. I checked | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
out if these Northampton Town footballers were safe to drive. | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
In the briefing, Danny Emerton looked nervous, but then he spoke a | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
good game. I am a good driver. A few of the lads then there would not be | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
so sure about that, but I will be OK. Really? Some of them not so | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
good? You need to look out for them. Strapped in and ready to go. This | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
footballer bunny hopped his way down the pit lane. The foggy conditions | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
made driving difficult. One of the drivers appears to have stopped. He | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
cannot start again either. I think he got lost in the fog. | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
We saw you bunny hopping down the pit lane. That was quite good. | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
Obviously, my car is a bit different. Once I found the clutch, | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
I was more comfortable. Then it was the turn of the rugby players and | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
the Cricketers, they have had three years. The sports are coming | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
together, we trained with another team the other day. It is good for | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
the town. Sadly, some of the players never got | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
to show how quickly would have been because the fog came down and it was | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
not safe to drive, but money was raised for Northampton general, and | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
the footballers ever give up the day job, there might be a new Lewis | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
Hamilton here. Unlikely, but you never know. | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
What a shame for all of them. Very bad luck. Quite a lot of us have | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
this fog. For some of us, it did lift, making some beautiful sunsets. | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
We have some photographs showing the sun setting. Some of us had fog all | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
day, making conditions Chile. It will re`form through this evening | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
and overnight. `` chilly. It should not be as widespread as it was last | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
night. You can still see that we have high pressure, light wind, | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
clear skies, conditions are pretty ideal. You can see the satellite | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
image from earlier across this western half, that is where it | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
lingered. Expect an evening, the first part of the night will be | :25:58. | :26:07. | |
misty and foggy. Temperatures around freezing for most of us, that could | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
mean fog patches. Temperatures will hover around 2`3 Celsius. Tomorrow, | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
it is going to be misty, but it should lift the way and we will be | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
left with a cloudy forecast. There might be brighter spells but the | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
general trend will be for the cloud to increase into the afternoon. It | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
should stay dry, although into the afternoon and evening, just a few | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
spots of drizzle are possible. Still a cold day. The wind will freshen | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
from the south. The pressure pattern is changing, by Friday the | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
high`pressure routes away `` moves away and we have this coming in from | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
the west. The wind will strengthen, but this weather front will not have | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
a great deal of rain on it by the time it gets to our part of the | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
region. Some brighter spells to start with, but on the whole a lot | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
of cloud. Into the mid to late afternoon, there is a chance of | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
patchy rain, turning more persistent. The wind will freshen | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
through Friday. For the weekend it looks largely dry, a bit cloudy at | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
times. Another chilly night, but temperatures will be above freezing. | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
