Hello and welcome to Tuesday's programme.

:00:00.:00:00.

the ambitious plans to boost the Northamptonshire economy.

:00:00.:00:09.

Hope for Holly - how pioneering stem cell treatment is giving this

:00:10.:00:12.

To suddenly see some tiny little steps is wonderful and gives us hope

:00:13.:00:23.

for what might happen in the future. High-tech help to tackle Cambridge's

:00:24.:00:24.

congestion problems. And later, we are at the rehearsals

:00:25.:00:36.

of a very special performance. Find out why the original Luton girls

:00:37.:00:42.

choir of the 1940s and 50s has come back together.

:00:43.:00:55.

Hello, first tonight, building business post-Brexit.

:00:56.:00:58.

Next Wednesday, the Prime Minister will trigger Article 50,

:00:59.:01:01.

officially starting Britain's exit from the European Union.

:01:02.:01:05.

Business leaders from across Northamptonshire are not waiting

:01:06.:01:07.

around to find out what that might mean, they are meeting tonight

:01:08.:01:11.

to discuss how to capitalise on that historic moment,

:01:12.:01:14.

to grow existing industries, attract external investment

:01:15.:01:18.

They believe working together will actually make things happen,

:01:19.:01:23.

Logistics, moving things around is one of the driving forces of the

:01:24.:01:37.

Northamptonshire economy, and so is key to future jobs. Iain Rogers in

:01:38.:01:41.

Northampton employs more than 100 people, its lorries and up across

:01:42.:01:47.

Europe. We came here last year and the director told the East she was

:01:48.:01:50.

putting Remain. She stands by that but says one of her concerns may

:01:51.:01:55.

have a surprising outcome. There will probably be a lot more it --

:01:56.:02:00.

administration as our vehicles cross borders, there might be a lot more

:02:01.:02:04.

red tape. So it might mean we have to take on extra people to manage

:02:05.:02:08.

that. So that means extra costs so that is a conversation we will have

:02:09.:02:12.

to help with our customers. On the other side of town, at this domestic

:02:13.:02:16.

logistics firm, the boss told us last year she was putting Leave. No

:02:17.:02:21.

she is keen to get things moving. Can we please just get on and get on

:02:22.:02:25.

with the negotiations? I think what we need to do is give the Government

:02:26.:02:29.

a chance to go away and negotiate with Europe a good deal for Britain,

:02:30.:02:33.

and I am confident that is what will happen. Tonight, businesses from

:02:34.:02:38.

across Northamptonshire will meet here. The purpose is to put previous

:02:39.:02:42.

differences of opinion aside and look at what needs to be done to

:02:43.:02:48.

create jobs in a post-Brexit world. Politics drives economics and

:02:49.:02:50.

economics drives business so whichever sector... Lecturers at the

:02:51.:02:55.

University of North London are amongst the organisers for tonight's

:02:56.:02:59.

event. They say businesses will be wary going into talks with the EU

:03:00.:03:04.

starting next week. In terms of negotiations, the quicker and sooner

:03:05.:03:08.

we have clarity and certainty, I would say the fundamental issue

:03:09.:03:13.

really is control of immigration against market access, but certainly

:03:14.:03:17.

those people currently working in the UK that are from the EU, that

:03:18.:03:21.

their rights should be protected. Students are here from around the

:03:22.:03:26.

world, many were about to become job-seekers. My family have asked me

:03:27.:03:30.

if I am scared that I will be thrown out of the country. But I said, this

:03:31.:03:36.

is not America! I feel fine. It is affecting me but not as much as

:03:37.:03:40.

other people who came to the country recently. I do not think there will

:03:41.:03:44.

be any major changes immediately. But going on a few years, there will

:03:45.:03:49.

be definitely changes to business confidence. The economy has done

:03:50.:03:53.

better than many predicted since devoted to leave. The message from

:03:54.:03:57.

tonight's events is businesses need to act if that is to continue. They

:03:58.:04:05.

need to concentrate on what the business is good to try to make

:04:06.:04:08.

their products better, look at innovation, to reduce costs, to look

:04:09.:04:12.

at their school based to make sure they have the skills for the future,

:04:13.:04:15.

and also just look at what opportunities may be around the

:04:16.:04:20.

corner. We do not yet know the destination of talks with the EU so

:04:21.:04:25.

for now, businesses have to find their own weight to local economic

:04:26.:04:29.

success. Sam Read, BBC Look East, Northampton.

:04:30.:04:30.

But while Northamptonshire did vote about 60 to 40 for Brexit,

:04:31.:04:33.

Cambridge was overwhelmingly pro-Remain.

:04:34.:04:35.

The leader of the Liberal Democrats has been speaking to entrepreneurs

:04:36.:04:38.

and business students in Cambridge today.

:04:39.:04:41.

I spoke to Tim Farron earlier and he had this message

:04:42.:04:43.

Business should feel like they've got the ability to change

:04:44.:04:50.

the direction of this country, as should everybody,

:04:51.:04:52.

We know that the British people voted marginally, narrowly,

:04:53.:04:55.

to leave the European Union, but that was not a mandate

:04:56.:04:58.

for the Prime Minister to give us the hardest possible Brexit,

:04:59.:05:00.

to damage education, farming and business in the process.

:05:01.:05:04.

But you don't know what the deal's going to look like yet,

:05:05.:05:07.

so in a sense, aren't you fear-mongering, rather than helping

:05:08.:05:09.

No, we don't know what the deal's going to look like, so it's right

:05:10.:05:15.

So, outside the Single Market, that means that, for example,

:05:16.:05:19.

agricultural producers in Cambridgeshire will be facing

:05:20.:05:20.

Given that 75% of their exports are to the Single Market,

:05:21.:05:26.

that is a crackers thing for a government that wants to take

:05:27.:05:29.

care of its own people to choose to do, and this deal will end up

:05:30.:05:33.

being done at some point in the next two years,

:05:34.:05:36.

then it will be imposed on the British people.

:05:37.:05:38.

Someone is going to sign this deal off at the end,

:05:39.:05:41.

either it is going to be the politicians, or it will be

:05:42.:05:44.

the people, in a referendum on that deal that as yet,

:05:45.:05:46.

But businesses don't like uncertainty, do they?

:05:47.:05:49.

So, if you are saying you want another referendum in

:05:50.:05:51.

two years' time, that's two years of more uncertainty.

:05:52.:05:53.

That can't be popular in the business community.

:05:54.:05:56.

It is increasingly popular that the Liberal Democrats

:05:57.:05:58.

are the only party giving the people, including businesses,

:05:59.:06:00.

the chance to say yes or no to the eventual deal the Government

:06:01.:06:03.

If they feel they may actually have to face the people in a referendum

:06:04.:06:10.

at the end of all this, there is much more incentive for

:06:11.:06:13.

So, why have you come to Cambridge with that message,

:06:14.:06:17.

Why aren't you spreading the message amongst the pro-Leavers?

:06:18.:06:20.

How we approach these things is all about attitude and tone.

:06:21.:06:24.

I was talking to a big employer up in my patch,

:06:25.:06:26.

up in Cumbria, just two weeks ago, and he said to me,

:06:27.:06:29.

"Brexit is a disaster, but we are positive

:06:30.:06:31.

He said, "We're a Victorian company, we've lived through three fires,

:06:32.:06:35.

umpteen floods, two world wars, we'll get through Brexit and we'll

:06:36.:06:38.

Now, I think that is the right attitude.

:06:39.:06:42.

It doesn't change the fact that Brexit is a disaster.

:06:43.:06:48.

And later in the programme, we are looking at the air industry

:06:49.:06:51.

in this region and the impact of the Leave vote.

:06:52.:06:54.

Other news now, and the parents of an 11-year-old girl with

:06:55.:06:56.

cerebral palsy say they've seen a huge improvement in her condition

:06:57.:06:59.

since she underwent pioneering stem cell treatment in America.

:07:00.:07:03.

Holly Greenhow is now home and back at school,

:07:04.:07:05.

11-year-old Holly has cerebral palsy.

:07:06.:07:13.

To help her conditions, her parents use this special suit,

:07:14.:07:15.

which uses electrical pulses to stimulate the muscles

:07:16.:07:17.

that were damaged when she was deprived of oxygen at birth.

:07:18.:07:22.

Holly is unable to do anything, really, movement and balance wise,

:07:23.:07:26.

and speech, all that part of her body got affected.

:07:27.:07:29.

But her intelligence remains totally intact.

:07:30.:07:33.

In October, the family travelled to America for stem cell treatment.

:07:34.:07:38.

They paid ?10,000 for stem cells to be injected.

:07:39.:07:41.

The idea, they would multiply through the damaged part

:07:42.:07:44.

of Holly's brain, replacing the dead ones.

:07:45.:07:47.

Since then, her parents say she is sleeping longer,

:07:48.:07:50.

her vision is improved, her vocabulary expanded,

:07:51.:07:53.

and has more control over her muscles.

:07:54.:07:56.

Did it start at the candlestick maker's?

:07:57.:08:02.

Although Holly has a teaching assistant, she attends

:08:03.:08:04.

a mainstream school, and her friends there

:08:05.:08:06.

I've noticed that she's been concentrating more in class,

:08:07.:08:13.

and in games, and she's been a lot more relaxed.

:08:14.:08:17.

I know that she's been able to use her communication book more

:08:18.:08:20.

and is able to express how she feels.

:08:21.:08:23.

And she's been concentrating more in our games and in school life.

:08:24.:08:26.

And at home, they have been keeping a diary of any developments.

:08:27.:08:30.

What have the improvements meant to you as a family?

:08:31.:08:32.

It's wonderful, I mean, I guess we've missed loads

:08:33.:08:34.

of milestones with Holly, as any sort of special needs child

:08:35.:08:37.

would, which is tough, but to suddenly see some tiny little

:08:38.:08:41.

steps is wonderful, and just gives us hope, really,

:08:42.:08:44.

for what might happen in the future as well.

:08:45.:08:47.

This kind of treatment is controversial.

:08:48.:08:50.

The Stem Cell Foundation stresses the complex science hasn't gone

:08:51.:08:53.

through clinical trials, so there are potential risks,

:08:54.:08:57.

and as Holly is receiving a range of treatments,

:08:58.:09:00.

it is difficult to establish which is responsible for any change.

:09:01.:09:04.

But for a young girl who has already broken boundaries as a model,

:09:05.:09:09.

our family hope that the pioneering medicine could hold

:09:10.:09:11.

Louise Hubball, BBC Look East, Huntingdon.

:09:12.:09:19.

Well, technology experts will tonight say Cambridge

:09:20.:09:22.

One proposal at the Intelligent City presentation is better tracking

:09:23.:09:28.

how and where people and vehicles move around.

:09:29.:09:31.

Yes, imagine walking out of your office or your place of work and

:09:32.:09:45.

jumping in a driverless vehicle that will take you from A to B. Will look

:09:46.:09:49.

at your phone and noted the second when your bus will arrive at your

:09:50.:09:53.

bus stop. Even knowing how many bikes there are on the streets. That

:09:54.:09:58.

is what a smart city is. In here, this is the Microsoft building,

:09:59.:10:04.

where politicians and academics are trying to develop Smart Cambridge.

:10:05.:10:09.

This is all about creating data, knowing how many vehicles are on the

:10:10.:10:12.

roads, where the buses are, where the pinch points are, and many car

:10:13.:10:17.

parking spaces there are boss they are fed by sensors around the city

:10:18.:10:23.

to a hub. It is about making the city flow more freely. One of the

:10:24.:10:25.

organisations behind this had a chat with us earlier.

:10:26.:10:26.

Firstly, the planners can use it for working out

:10:27.:10:28.

where bus routes should be, where cycle routes should be,

:10:29.:10:31.

where the traffic bottlenecks are, that we can then sort out.

:10:32.:10:34.

Secondly, we can help members of the public by using travel apps

:10:35.:10:36.

and other data to know where the buses are,

:10:37.:10:39.

how many minutes you've got to wait at your bus station

:10:40.:10:41.

That bus app should come into effect here in the summer, and also in

:10:42.:10:53.

Milton Keynes. But effectively it is about making cities less congested,

:10:54.:10:56.

greener and much easier to get around.

:10:57.:11:00.

Detectives investigating the death of a woman who was attacked

:11:01.:11:02.

in her Milton Keynes home are following up

:11:03.:11:04.

The case of Hang Yin Leung was featured

:11:05.:11:07.

on the BBC's Crimewatch programme last night.

:11:08.:11:09.

It included new CCTV and police bodycam footage.

:11:10.:11:13.

Let's get the rest of the news, sport and weather from around

:11:14.:11:17.

You are watching Look East. Still to come: Peterborough gets ready to

:11:18.:11:35.

honour two of its own, we'll speak to gymnast Louis Smith and rower

:11:36.:11:37.

James Fox, live. First, the last in our series of

:11:38.:11:48.

looking at what the region thinks of Brexit, nine months after we made

:11:49.:11:50.

the decision to leave the European Union.

:11:51.:11:58.

Over the last week or so, the Brexit mini has been wending

:11:59.:12:01.

And our political reporters have been talking to a range of people

:12:02.:12:05.

from scientists in Cambridge to tourist bosses

:12:06.:12:07.

Tonight Simon Dedman is in Essex, reporting from the Olympic mountain

:12:08.:12:10.

bike venue in Hadleigh, and the runway at Stansted.

:12:11.:12:17.

The EU opened up the skies, blowing aviation regulation into thin air.

:12:18.:12:21.

The boom in budget airlines took off, with Britain in the EU driving

:12:22.:12:31.

Today, it can be cheaper to fly to Croatia than to get

:12:32.:12:35.

7 million people travel via Stansted every year

:12:36.:12:45.

The airport is lobbying Government to keep Britain in the EU

:12:46.:12:49.

We are working very closely with Government, with our partners

:12:50.:12:53.

to ensure that as part of the deal, that we ensure that there is open

:12:54.:12:56.

The liberalisation of the aviation market over the last 25 years has

:12:57.:13:04.

really spurred on the creation of airlines like

:13:05.:13:06.

It is vital that the Government take this seriously and it's their number

:13:07.:13:11.

one priority when it comes to discussions with

:13:12.:13:13.

based on complex international agreements made by the EU,

:13:14.:13:18.

There is real concern the industry will get grounded

:13:19.:13:21.

Unless the Government actually comes out and tells

:13:22.:13:29.

the industry what is happening, it's going to be very

:13:30.:13:32.

expensive for all concerned and we are going to suffer.

:13:33.:13:35.

Most airlines were against Britain leaving the EU.

:13:36.:13:39.

Some even campaigned for Remain but recently Ryanair has said it

:13:40.:13:43.

will still expand here at its main base adding more

:13:44.:13:45.

But Brexit brings uncertainty and elsewhere airlines are waiting

:13:46.:13:54.

to see what deal is struck with Europe over the skies.

:13:55.:13:58.

But can we bring back that winning 2012 spirit,

:13:59.:14:02.

Hadleigh held the mountain biking for the Olympics.

:14:03.:14:13.

The facilities are still used today by the Olympians of tomorrow.

:14:14.:14:23.

Last year this area had the largest Leave vote in the east.

:14:24.:14:26.

The people of Castlepoint voted 74% for Brexit.

:14:27.:14:28.

The bulldog spirit is strong here in South Essex but these local lads,

:14:29.:14:31.

training for the top, are not all convinced about the direction

:14:32.:14:33.

The people now don't want to leave but we have already

:14:34.:14:37.

Your friends and family round here wanting actually to Remain?

:14:38.:14:43.

Yeah, quite a lot of them have changed their mind actually.

:14:44.:14:45.

Because there was the whole thing about money going to the NHS.

:14:46.:14:48.

Now that that has come out that it is not going to happen.

:14:49.:14:54.

Now people are saying - we should have voted to Remain

:14:55.:14:56.

Britain normally has a way of getting by and finding

:14:57.:15:04.

I know we're obviously talking to America and everything

:15:05.:15:10.

So are you quite optimistic about the future?

:15:11.:15:13.

Yeah, yeah, we always find a way of working things out.

:15:14.:15:16.

That work begins now, as our journey ends.

:15:17.:15:19.

The task of building Brexit Britain and renewing

:15:20.:15:25.

relations beyond our shores is in the Prime Minister's

:15:26.:15:27.

Vicky Ford is one of seven MEPs who represent the East of England.

:15:28.:15:42.

Earlier she told me she'd talked to the chief Brexit

:15:43.:15:46.

I asked what her priorities were when it came to this region.

:15:47.:15:54.

I always had three priorities during the Brexit referendum

:15:55.:15:57.

One of which is trying to make sure that the economic disruption

:15:58.:16:04.

is as small as possible, which means trying to get that

:16:05.:16:06.

long-term trade agreement between ourselves and the rest

:16:07.:16:08.

The second was actually keeping access to science and research

:16:09.:16:16.

because I believe passionately that we are better when we work with

:16:17.:16:19.

We have world-leading science in this area.

:16:20.:16:22.

Actually the Prime Minister's also put that as one

:16:23.:16:25.

The third issue is just trying to keep this as peaceful

:16:26.:16:29.

So what do you feel the mood is, because we hear a lot of tough talk

:16:30.:16:36.

We're going to have a very intense two-year period.

:16:37.:16:45.

I see that the majority of my colleagues from across Europe want

:16:46.:16:48.

That's why they've just voted me back to chair the committee

:16:49.:16:56.

that's looking at market access, for example.

:16:57.:16:58.

They want to have an amicable, workable solution but there

:16:59.:17:01.

are others who want to disrupt it for their own political gain.

:17:02.:17:05.

So those of us who are in the centre need to try and keep very focussed

:17:06.:17:11.

on the long-term stable strategic partnership between the EU

:17:12.:17:14.

You're going to be briefing some of the MPs from this region tomorrow.

:17:15.:17:22.

Will you tell them that you're optimistic about the future?

:17:23.:17:26.

I think there's a huge amount to be done and we have a short

:17:27.:17:29.

negotiators on both sides, that they both have a long-term

:17:30.:17:46.

vision of where they want to land but there is an awful lot

:17:47.:17:53.

of potential uncertainty on the way and that we from the UK,

:17:54.:17:56.

in leadership roles, need to all get behind

:17:57.:17:58.

and support the Prime Minister and the negotiators and try and help

:17:59.:18:01.

show the solutions in these negotiations and that is

:18:02.:18:03.

A special reception is being held in Peterborough tonight to honour

:18:04.:18:08.

Gymnast Louis Smith, winner of four Olympic medals,

:18:09.:18:12.

and gold medal winning Paralympic rower James Fox are being awarded

:18:13.:18:14.

We'll speak to them both in a moment.

:18:15.:18:18.

First a reminder of their achievements. His dazzling routine

:18:19.:18:34.

have wowed the crowd for years. He has won countless medals, including

:18:35.:18:39.

silver at Rio It means so much. I've been in the sport for two decades. I

:18:40.:18:44.

don't know if it'll be my last Olympics. Doing that routine made me

:18:45.:18:51.

so happy. An emotional journey for a man credited for rejuvenating his

:18:52.:18:56.

sport. He became a national celebrity winning Strictly but then

:18:57.:19:01.

was in the headline for the wrong regions, he had to visit mocks,

:19:02.:19:05.

after he appeared to mock Islam I have let people down. It was a silly

:19:06.:19:13.

moment. Also there stop the James Fox, three time World Champion and

:19:14.:19:17.

now Paralympic gold medallist. The Paralympics is so special. Aged 1

:19:18.:19:22.

#1, James' career began at Peterborough rowing club. Now he's

:19:23.:19:25.

helping others reach their potential. Young guys need someone

:19:26.:19:32.

to look up. If I can be a part of that, that would be incredible. Two

:19:33.:19:36.

sporting heroes who've done Peterborough proud.

:19:37.:19:38.

And Louis Smith and James Fox are at Peterborough Town Hall now.

:19:39.:19:42.

Congratulations to the both of you. James what does it mean to you? Oh,

:19:43.:19:51.

yes, it is incredible. It is a real honour to be privileged with the

:19:52.:19:54.

freedom of the city. This is the city I grew up in. I went to school

:19:55.:19:58.

here, was born here and lefrnt to row here. It is bringing me back to

:19:59.:20:01.

my roots, which is great. Lewis for you, you have travelled the world

:20:02.:20:05.

and been a star on both the television and gymnastics, what does

:20:06.:20:10.

it mean for you. Well, Peterborough is home. This is where it all began,

:20:11.:20:15.

where it all started. Where all my friends and family are. I have had

:20:16.:20:18.

incredible support from Peterborough and to be given this award just

:20:19.:20:24.

means an incredible lot to me. Do you get something special to go with

:20:25.:20:28.

it, to show that you are who you are? Do you get something special?

:20:29.:20:35.

I'm not sure yet, I'll tell you in an hour or two. I'm not sure what we

:20:36.:20:45.

get given. Regardless, I think the principle is, we have been given

:20:46.:20:54.

this award, you know, not just us but other people have sacrificed so

:20:55.:20:59.

much to help us get so where we are and there's lots of flashing lights

:21:00.:21:03.

and stuff going on but at the end of the day we are from Peterborough,

:21:04.:21:06.

proud to be from Peterborough and I think Peterborough are proud of us,

:21:07.:21:09.

too. James in a lot of other places you would be allowed to drive your

:21:10.:21:12.

sheep through the centre of the city but you are not allowed to get that

:21:13.:21:16.

there but it is something that will make you and your family proud? I

:21:17.:21:19.

think it is an outrage. I wonder how much trouble I would get into if I

:21:20.:21:23.

took a sheep across the town bridge anyway? No, it is amazing, an old

:21:24.:21:26.

tradition. The freedom of the city is a massive thing. It is an honour

:21:27.:21:29.

for anybody. For us, we do sport for a living, we do what we enjoy and it

:21:30.:21:34.

is amazing to be recognised. My life's changed and I'm sure Louis's

:21:35.:21:41.

has since we went to the Olympics and Paralympics. This is incredible.

:21:42.:21:45.

You said in the film it is important people had somebody to look up to

:21:46.:21:49.

and it is important to above the of you, isn't it? 100%. Speaking from

:21:50.:21:55.

experience, it's not been easy growing up and sport has the ability

:21:56.:21:59.

it change lives and I think if any of us can get kids into sport, keep

:22:00.:22:03.

them in sport and kind of show what sport can do, then I think we're

:22:04.:22:07.

both doing ourselves proud. You have done the city proud. Congratulations

:22:08.:22:10.

to both of you. Thank you very much for being with us. Thank you for

:22:11.:22:13.

having us. Thank you. And we should also mention

:22:14.:22:16.

the paralympic basketball player Lee Manning,

:22:17.:22:18.

who is also getting the Freedom of the City

:22:19.:22:20.

but can't make Now think of what Luton has been

:22:21.:22:22.

famous for over the years... The carnival, the Vauxhall

:22:23.:22:37.

plant, the Airport. And - of course -

:22:38.:22:39.

the Luton Girls Choir. The girls sang at the

:22:40.:22:41.

Olympic Games in 1948. They sang all over the world

:22:42.:22:43.

and they all paid 4 old pence a week

:22:44.:22:46.

just to be a member. After 40 years of singing, the choir

:22:47.:22:49.

folded in 1977 when the But now they have been reunited -

:22:50.:22:52.

for a special occasion. They were expected to conduct

:22:53.:23:07.

themselves Azam bass doers for Luton, conditions under choir master

:23:08.:23:12.

Arthur Davies were strict. But the rewards were many. -- conduct

:23:13.:23:24.

themselves as ambassadors. If we missed the bus we crept in so he

:23:25.:23:28.

wouldn't see us. He thought we should be there on the dot. As

:23:29.:23:32.

teenagers they foamed around the world. Two months in Australia and

:23:33.:23:37.

one month in New Zealand. Absolutely wonderful Princess Alexandra was

:23:38.:23:42.

there. She got back in her car and sat on the chauffeur's top hat. I'm

:23:43.:23:51.

the little one in the front here. When we got through to the

:23:52.:23:54.

passports, they didn't want to see them, we sang to them. I don't know

:23:55.:23:59.

what we sang. Because I was born and bred in Luton, I had to go to this

:24:00.:24:06.

singing teacher who would secure me of my Luton accent. Right I'm going

:24:07.:24:10.

to show you some footage from 1961. Let's see if you remember this.

:24:11.:24:21.

Look, there's me, Katrina. Oh, right. '61 Jill and Pamela, look.

:24:22.:24:32.

Luton girls' choir, they've sung up and down the country, taken their

:24:33.:24:36.

music abroad. Two years ago they made a three month tour of New

:24:37.:24:41.

Zealand and Australia. We met the choir. Do you have much trouble

:24:42.:24:45.

looking after them all? Non-whatsoever. The choir will be

:24:46.:24:50.

performing at the reopening of the town's war museum in April.

:24:51.:24:56.

Isn't that wonderful. There is nothing better than pointing out

:24:57.:25:01.

people in an old photograph. I love it.

:25:02.:25:03.

The weather now. Thank you very much. A chilly start

:25:04.:25:08.

to the day but lots of fine weather across the region this morning. A

:25:09.:25:11.

beautiful photograph showing Norwich cathedral behind me. Blue sky there.

:25:12.:25:16.

There were showers as well. We'll continue to see some showers across

:25:17.:25:19.

western counties. A double rainbow you might be able to make out in

:25:20.:25:23.

Cambridgeshire this afternoon. The satellite image shows how cloud has

:25:24.:25:27.

developed from the west. With that some fairly heavy showers, with one

:25:28.:25:31.

or two reports of hail across counties such as Northamptonshire.

:25:32.:25:35.

So the threat of those continues really for western counties, the

:25:36.:25:39.

east staying largely dry. The trend will be for those showers to fade

:25:40.:25:43.

through the evening and night. Across all areas, clear sky tonight,

:25:44.:25:46.

so that will mean another chilly night. Temperatures widely down to

:25:47.:25:50.

three or four. But locally we could get as low as one or two degrees in

:25:51.:25:55.

some spots. The winds easing to a lot-to-moderate south-easterly.

:25:56.:25:58.

There could be just a touch of frost to some of us first thing tomorrow

:25:59.:26:01.

morning. It does look as though it'll be a bright start it the day.

:26:02.:26:05.

But this is the pressure pattern, so some unsettled weather before we get

:26:06.:26:08.

to fine weather later on in the week. Low pressure on the scene,

:26:09.:26:11.

which will bring rain across all areas by the afternoon. It should be

:26:12.:26:15.

a dray start for many of us, with good spells of sunshine. Quite a

:26:16.:26:20.

keen south-easterly. Despite the sunshine it'll feel chilly in the

:26:21.:26:23.

wind. You can see that area of rain, really an area of showery rain

:26:24.:26:26.

crossing to the north-east during the afternoon, and there could be

:26:27.:26:30.

some hail. There will be some showers following on behind. Some

:26:31.:26:33.

could be on the heavy side. So with the wind and temperatures around

:26:34.:26:38.

eight or nine, it'll feel quite cold but eventually those showers will

:26:39.:26:48.

start to die away. Then we'll be on to another chillyish night. Then

:26:49.:26:53.

things start to settle down. By the end of the week this is the pressure

:26:54.:26:58.

pattern. Low pressure pushed away by a large area of high pressure

:26:59.:27:01.

pushing down from the north. That will mean fine weather as we get

:27:02.:27:04.

into the weekend. So, some good spells of sunshine, but also some

:27:05.:27:06.

chilly nights. Before then, we have Thursday, so Thursday is looking as

:27:07.:27:09.

though it is going to be quite cloudy across this part of the

:27:10.:27:12.

country. Perhaps an isolated shower but most places seeing some dry

:27:13.:27:15.

weather with good spells of sunshine. Then we are into Friday

:27:16.:27:18.

and Saturday, so temperatures lifting to 11 or 12. So fine spring

:27:19.:27:21.

sunshine around but with high pressure and clear skies overnight

:27:22.:27:24.

we will have chilly nights. So average temperatures around 4, could

:27:25.:27:28.

be lower than that locally. Back to you. . Thank you very much.

:27:29.:27:32.

That's all from us. I hope you have a good evening. We will be back

:27:33.:27:35.

tomorrow at the same time. Good night.

:27:36.:27:42.
