In the programme tonight, easing the pressures on our hospitals. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The new website that could help so-called bed-blocking. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
It would be very useful to have somewhere straightforward | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
I could go to that is going to give me access | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Why Cambridge is concerned about the | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
The Northampton Saints, with history in their sights. | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
The medals for the two naval veterans, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
nearly 80 years after a devastating earthquake in Chile. | :00:41. | :00:54. | |
First tonight, a new plan to try to ease pressures on our hospitals. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
One of the biggest issues is finding places for usually elderly patients | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
who are medically fit, but need further care packages - | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
In the latest figures for January, we can see the scale of the problem. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Addenbrookes Hospital lost more than 700 bed days with patients | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
awaiting nursing or residential home placements. | :01:10. | :01:10. | |
the figure was 466 bed days for the county's two hospitals. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Part of the problem is marrying up patients who need a place with | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
So, in Hertfordshire, they are pioneering a new scheme | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
involving a website. Kate Bradbrook reports. | :01:21. | :01:28. | |

Preparations for St Patrick's Day at the care home in Stevenage. This | :01:44. | :01:55. | |
could often be the best option for people after leaving hospital, but | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
there is a problem of finding places. We are trying to establish | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
whether there are vacancies. We have to phone round all of them and | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
trying to get an answer, I could only get two of them. And I spent | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
all their team on the phone. No, the council has come up with a new way | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
of tackling the problem, and online booking system. It allows staff to | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
search for places in real-time, including the needs of the patient | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
and the location. It means people are not hanging around. They are not | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
waiting around any corridor. For us, it means even more swiftly. I am | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
considered adopting an assessment for bed 20 name. We are looking for | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
a placement in a residential home. As part of the new system, they are | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
seen by assessors at the hospital. I am between the care home Andy | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
hospital. I will conduct comprehensive assessment to find | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
suitable homes for residents to be discharged. And tool to make sure | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
that all the information coming from the care home is accurate, because I | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
am impartial. This system will be accessible for the public from next | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
month. This is good news for Susan. She is a killer and from time to | :03:48. | :04:00. | |
time need to book respite care. -- carer. It would be really good of | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
their was a system where they could access all the information that I | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
required quickly. In the system, hundreds of bed places have been | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
saved already and it is believed that the system could be ruled out | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
across the country. Earlier, I spoke to Andrew Kaye | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
of Independent Age, a charity which gives a voice to older | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
people, and asked him how concerned he was | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
about the impact of bed Unfortunately, the number of elderly | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
people and others stuck in hospital has just been stubbornly high | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
for the whole of 2016 It used to be the case | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
in the NHS, during the winter, that the number of people stuck | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
in hospital that could not be The NHS are now saying this | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
is an all-year-round problem. In England, as a whole, for just | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
under 200,000 people in January, What are your specific concerns | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
about the impact on the elderly? For many older people, | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
if they have planned surgery in hospital, | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
once they are medically fit and ready to leave | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
hospital, it really is no longer the best place | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
for them to be. Medical experts say that, in terms | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
of older hospital patients, it can lead to pressure sores and, | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
in the worst cases, muscle wastage. We do not want to see | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
people getting infections. We want people to be supported, | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
in the end, in the right We do not want to see | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
people getting infections. We want people to be supported, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
in the end, in the right care environment. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
That can often be in their own home. Do you welcome the website developed | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
by Herts County Council, to try and speed up the process | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
of getting elderly Frankly, in a situation | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
where there are far too many people stuck in hospital | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
for longer than they need to be, any new website or service | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
that can be made available to speed up | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
discharge is welcome, but we cannot do so in an unsafe | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
and coordinated manner rush hospital patients out to the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
nearest available bed. We need to make sure | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
that is the proper care home and the correct safe environment | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
for an older person. If money was not an issue, | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
what would you ask for, in terms of changes, | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
to try and stop this We have to be clear it is not even | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
just a case of bed blocking. The term gives | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
the impression that it is older people who want | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
to be in this situation. What we need in the system | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
as a whole is a far better approach in making sure that | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
when a patient comes in with their family, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
they are asked for their own views on where they want to | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
receive after care. So, all these decisions are made up | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
front, maybe even on the first day What we are seeing, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
unfortunately, is far too many chaotic situations, | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
where people are scrambling around at the last minute trying to find | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
a suitable care place. That is no longer | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
any good for the NHS and certainly no good | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
for older patients. Next tonight, how councils | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
in our region are looking at a new way to raise money | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
for local good causes, Local authorities have | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
seen their government funding cut They were given the power to set | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
up their own lotteries a decade ago and, now, | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
councils in Daventry, King's Lynn, Peterborough | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
and Corby are planning The Teamwork Trust in Corby offer | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
classes like this for people with learning difficulties | :07:23. | :07:37. | |
and mental health problems. As some pots of grant | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
funding have dried up, they have signed up to benefit | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
from a new lottery, run To get funding which will make | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
a day-to-day difference to the general opportunities | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
we can give our members, we find ourselves doing more | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
and more bids and the opportunity that the lottery gives us | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
will help significantly. It is hoped the Corby Lottery | :07:54. | :08:04. | |
will raise ?20,000 a year for local That is about 10% of what the local | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
council spends on grants right now. The council insists this is not | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
to replace current funding, We do have a considerable amount | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
that we give out in small grants, but helping organisations receive | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
more is a good thing to do and we want to be able to do that. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
This is not about replacing grants. Regardless of local authorities | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
having less and less money, This is about supporting | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
our local community. Others warned, however, | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
about becoming reliant on If it completely replaces grant | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
funding, there is a problem If it is additional to grant | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
funding - fantastic. The reality is that it is | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
replacing a large part of grant funding, because the money | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
is simply is not available any more. Tickets will be sold | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
online and cost ?1. 20p of that ?1 will | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
go towards prizes. Another 20p will go | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
on administration and VAT. That will leave 60p in the ?1 | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
to go to good causes. The Corby Lottery | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
still needs approval But people here seem keen to take | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
part, for a ?25,000 jackpot. If it goes towards good causes | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
locally - excellent. It is a good idea, but will | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
they reduce my council tax? No, there is no council tax | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
reduction if you play. Well, there you go, then. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
I would not play it. For now, lottery income will be just | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
another ingredient, when it comes But it will become more | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
important as council budgets And MPs James Cartlidge | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
and Kelvin Hopkins will be discussing the necessity for those | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
lotteries on the Sunday Politics It is worth more than ?4 billion, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
but could the UK's gaming industry fall foul of our decision | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
to leave the EU? Cambridge is home to around 50 | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
companies - one of the highest Its success is built on its ability | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
to freely share data across Europe, but there are now concerns that | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
trade barriers could end that. An epic voyage into the vacant | :10:12. | :10:31. | |
heartlands and then escaped to a parallel universe at the touch of a | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
button. More than 30 million of us play computer games every day. But | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
will Brexit burst the bubble? 90 people work in this country, one | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
third of them coming from the European Union. The sea keeping on | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
top of the gaming industry requires employing the very best. We work on | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
a world stage and the games industry is global. It moves very quickly. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
Specialists in mere jolt over the world. To remain world leaders, we | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
have two employee internationally. According to the trade body which | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
looks at the industry, 40% of companies have thought about moving | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
abroad because of the exit decision. That is a worry for the local MP. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
Cambridge is one of the leaders in the gaming industry. It is a huge | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
industry. We have to bang the drum for it. It is also seen people with | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
different skill sets. It is not just people with information technology | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
skills. Recruited from Germany, Lisa also please delete rule any new | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
game. While the company could hire locally, nurturing and finding that | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
time can take time. You cannot just turn on and off at. It could take a | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
generation to educate, from primary School straight through to | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
university. If we come love the talent from the European Union, we | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
cannot just turn it on in the United Kingdom the next day. Potential | :12:26. | :12:35. | |
restrictions on who they can employ and from queer, means that with | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
Brexit on the horizon, the competition from around the world | :12:40. | :12:40. | |
will only intensify. A gang who stole ?3 million | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
from jewellery shops, including one in Milton Keynes, | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
have been jailed for The six Romanian men raided 11 | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
stores across the country, including Fraser Hart in Centre | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
MK, in November 2015. The six men will each serve between | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
six and eight years in prison. In the MK raid, they started a fire | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
and blocked access to the road, in order to make off with ?650,000 | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
six hundred worth of jewellery. It has emerged more than ?1.6 | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
millionwas spent last year maintaining a redundant | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
regional fire control centre Earlier this week, Look East | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
revealed that the centre was still unused, more than eight | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
years after it was built. It was mothballed after reforms | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
designed to change the way emergency calls were | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
handled were abandoned. The government says the figure | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
is a ?400,000 reduction on 2010. The main costs were rent and rates, | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
but more than ?200,000 were spent on maintenance | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
and ?25,000 on electricity. And will it stay | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
spring-like this weekend? First back to Stewart and Susie, | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
for the rest of the news. # You only get one life and I wanted | :13:32. | :13:43. | |
to give it to you. #. We look ahead to a documentary | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
tonight on the rise of the Shires. And the much-capped Saints | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
hoping to make history two young sailors from this region | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
were serving with the Royal Navy when a terrible earthquake | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
killed thousands of people. All the sailors went ashore | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
to help with the rescue. At the time, the Chilean | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
authorities were too busy Those two young sailors | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
are now in their 90s - the Chilean Ambassador came | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
to Cambridge to award them The victims and the survivors | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
of the 1939 earthquake, many, Medals for | :14:25. | :14:37. | |
two former Navy men. A thank you from the | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
Chilean Ambassador. For what they did for his country | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
nearly 80 years ago. Three minutes of havoc so fearful | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
as to make the destructive power of modern warfare seem | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
like a nursery game Two Chilean cities are flattened | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
in a devastating earthquake. Frank Burton was on HMS Ajax, | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Basil Trott HMS Exeter. Anchored there, the Navy launched | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
a humanitarian mission. The demolition that occurred | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
in such a short time. Especially as we had been in that | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
town only one week previously. The thing I remember most | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
about the earthquake I had a full pint of beer | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
on the table, and the earthquake happened, and the glass went | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
like that and suddenly Chile plans to decorate | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
all of the officers and men. Some were awarded medals, | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
but then the war got in the way. Finally, for these two | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
veterans in Cambridge, We believe that it is never late | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
to recognise this kind of support, The solidarity demonstrated | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
by the crew of both ships If we could give assistance, | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
if we were going to be able to help somebody, | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
that made it all the better for us. We were delighted to sort | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
of give something back. Here today, Frank's | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
great-granddaughter. He and Basil, thought to be the last | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
two to be decorated. A proud moment for them | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
and their families. Rugby now, and three players | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
from Northampton Saints will hope to make history this weekend | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
as England go for back-to-back They're also chasing a world | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
record for the number of successive victories - | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
tomorrow would make it 19 matches. But tonight, Saints play a rare | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
match against Bedford Blues. Graham McKechnie is the sports | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
editor at BBC Northampton, These two old East Midlands rivals | :16:57. | :17:11. | |
have been playing each other since 1895. But it is relatively rare that | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
they need. Professionalism has meant that they are usually in different | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
divisions. Which is why tonight cos Jane is a big deal for supporters | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
from both cups, 4000 expected here. Both teams fielding good line-ups as | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
well. The fixture has come about because Saints have had a couple of | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
free weekends and they need gametime before Leicester next Saturday. It | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
is also said Patrick Bay. -- St Patrick's Day. Before that massive | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
encounter tomorrow in Dublin. Another trophy on | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
the road to history. Dylan Hartley one of three | :17:56. | :17:56. | |
crucial Northampton cogs... ..in England's's Sweet | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
try scoring chariot. Back at Franklins Gardens, | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
they are already popping corks, Names like Grayson and Rodber who | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
know what it takes to win in Dublin. Ireland's motivation | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
is to spoil England's's party. England going for an out | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
and out world-record. As a player, they are desperate | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
to achieve those things but you know you've got to compartmentalise, | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
get your brain away from it, As dull as it sounds, | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
if they don't, they're in a world of trouble, | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
if they do do that, they have Hartley, Courtney Lawes and Tom Wood | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
have 189 caps between them. Wood was out of favour one year ago | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
but could win his 50th cap. Courtney Lawes has been | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
a revelation in the pack Dylan had a great game | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
against Scotland, he's playing well. Courtney has been outstanding, | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
gets better and better. Woody, culturally is really | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
important in that group, We are not seeing it as a daunting | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
thing going to Ireland, were all very excited | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
by the opportunity It is a scary thing to do, | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
there is a level of expectation or pressure as you might call it | :19:18. | :19:30. | |
but we are excited by it. Norfolk's Ben Youngs will be ready | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
to snipe from scrum half, If all goes to plan in Dublin, | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
a few more legends could be made. That match tomorrow in Dublin. Here, | :19:36. | :19:55. | |
kick-off is at 7:45pm and we will have live comedy BBC radio | :19:56. | :19:56. | |
Northampton. -- live commentary. We all know it takes dedication | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
to get to the top in any sport. But perhaps we don't always see just | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
what goes on behind the scenes He travels from his home | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
in Huntingdon to a pool in Sheffield And last year, he won a | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
silver medal at the Our sports editor Jonathan Park | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
went with him on the Spent studying, | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
travelling and training. First things first, | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
a breakfast for champions. Lots of fruits and these | :20:31. | :20:31. | |
special protein seeds. He normally gives us a bit more | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
grief when he's trying to drink it. Owen's 15 and in his final year | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
of GCSEs, but when he's not cramming for exams, | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
he's diving for medals. So this one here is the first | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
one I got last year... And I got an individual | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
silver medal on the 10m. That was at the European Junior | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
Championships, but in Russia, At the World Junior | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Championships in December. He is a serious talent, | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
targeting the 2024 Olympics, The love he's got for the diving, | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
I think, that strives him Obviously, he is on the go | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
from seven until at least Owen and his sister, Chloe, | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
study at Hinchingbrooke He is very good at finding | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
what he needs to do and then So he doesn't really | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
have a lot of downtime, so it's an impressive commitment | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
he is taking on. With his books and his diving kit, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
it is now off to catch a train, six times a week he goes | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
from Huntingdon to Sheffield, Sometimes, the travelling is more | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
than the actual training itself, And the sport so much. | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
That I just think it is worth it. Eventually, just over two hours | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
later, Owen and dad Lee arrive in time for training | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
with the Sheffield Diving Club. Positive T shape, get your | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
chest and your legs, make sure you are looking | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
for your entry points. Owen's a 10m specialist, | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
where nerves of steel are required. You just get used to it | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
after a while, I guess. I've been at it | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
for like three years. Thankfully, Owen's on top form, | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
proving why he's highly rated. He is, from my point of view, | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
probably one of the best The reason being for that is | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
that there is no one else in this country that can go through water | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
like Owen can. Sheffield had to Huntingdon | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
via Doncaster and Peterborough, Back again to do it | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
all again tomorrow. Owen is certainly going the extra | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
mile to achieve his Olympic dream. It is exhausting, but rewarding - | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
when it goes well. That is extraordinary. Incredible, | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
and what a talent. A treat now for fans of The Shires - | :23:03. | :23:15. | |
the country band who have been At the moment, | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
they are in Australia, then come back here for gigs | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
across this country. Among the venues, Southend, Ipswich, | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
Chelmsford and Norwich. Tonight, the duo, who | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
come from Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, are the subject | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
of a special documentary Here's a quick preview | :23:30. | :23:31. | |

been a whirlwind for The Shires as they reunite -- reignite our | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
interest in country music. A documentary following the success of | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
their debut album, Brave, shows the band working here and across the | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
pond in Nashville, Tennessee. It is very exciting and nerve-racking. It | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
is competitive and people are getting off the bus every day from | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
every little town saying, I can be the next big thing. Behind the | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
scenes, the documentary goes to where the TV series, Nashville, is | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
filmed. # Somewhere we can be alone #. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
And the heart of where Taylor Swift made the country John Virgo popular. | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
That is where you play as a songwriter. -- country genre | :25:02. | :25:12. | |
popular. It is intimate and nerve-racking. You have someone | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
sitting right in front of you. Who knew two years ago that all of this | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
would happen to them cos with two gold albums under their belts, | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
confirmed as the fastest selling UK country act ever, it is no wonder | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
the universe is at their feet. And you can see the full programme | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
on The Shires tonight at 10:30 on BBC Four and of course on BBC | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
iPlayer. They are the nicest people, The | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
Shires. The sun rising. Generally, a lot | :25:44. | :26:00. | |
more cloud around today. You can see that on the satellite picture. You | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
can see the brakes. A lot of those holes filled in. Outbreaks of rain | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
already. Overnight tonight, I think we are going to hold onto an awful | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
lot of cloud with further patchy rain. By some of us, it could be a | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
largely if not completely dry night. Winds gusting at 40 mph. We will | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
hold onto a mainly moderate to fresh westerly. Saturday's weather | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
dependent on the waterfront -- weather front. Rain at times, cloud, | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
but dry weather to. Hopefully the cloud will break now and again to | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
allow brightness and sunshine through. One today, highs of around | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
14 Celsius. -- warmer today. We finished the day largely dry but | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
bits and pieces of rain around. Sunday's weather it still dependent | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
on this waiting weather front moving up and down. It is making it very | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
difficult this weekend. Again, we could have brightness and sunshine. | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
The chance we could see a little rain, too. Most should be on the | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
light side, late in the day. Sunday, gasps of 30 or 40 mph. Up rates of | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
rain on Monday, but the better chance of seeing lightness and | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
sunshine on Tuesday, but also showers. | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
A reminder that the Sunday Politics this weekend. | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
