In the programme tonight: so it's goodbye from me | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
A company supporting vulnerable | :00:09. | :00:09. | |
teenagers has its contract for new placements suspended | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
following a BBC investigation into the conditions | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
The company mentioned doesn't appear to have provided what it has been | :00:14. | :00:26. | |
paid for. From the information I have got and what media has | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
uncovered, it is a big problem somewhere. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Your guide to the county council elections in May. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
We're live at the roller skate rink under | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
threat in Great Yarmouth from a multi-million redevelopment. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
And thank you for helping us. The medals for two Navy veterans 80 | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
years after a devastating earthquake in Chile. | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
First tonight, the care company in the spotlight for the way it | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
looks after vulnerable teenagers in Norfolk. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
The company is called SixteenPlus and it is paid by the council | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
for young people between the ages of 16 and 18 | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Two weeks ago, we showed you the squalid conditions | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
some of those young people were living in. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
announced the contract for new placements | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
had been suspended pending an investigation. | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
This report is from our health reporter, Nikki Fox. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The home of a vulnerable 17-year-old living in Norfolk on their own. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Cat faeces on the floor, and cigarette butts | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
This is how I found it earlier this month. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
What's worrying upstairs is not just the mess, but also the state | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Some of them are clearly broken, and then if I show you this one | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
here, in one of the rooms upstairs, it is cracked and there are there | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
The day we filmed, the teenage care leaver was moved. | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
The councillor who first move the concerns links it has taken | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
This was first reported to the children's services | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
So I'm pretty disgusted that obviously, as an elected member, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
my issues won't seem to be taken seriously. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
And with the evidence that has been presented to me afterwards, | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Norfolk County Council says it has now inspected aching | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
It also says it is now making weekly visit so it can be satisfied | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
It says it is in the process of appointing | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
We filmed at the property after a whistle-blower past | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
a councillor photos of other houses in Norfolk. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Glenn Leverett lives near one of them. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
He says he made repeated complaints to SixteenPlus | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Loud music at two and three o'clock in the morning. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
You can clearly hear plates, glasses, cups | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Everything being trashed. I do think, why? | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Where is the people who are meant to be there constantly | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
The council can't say how long that will take. | :03:13. | :03:41. | |
Our Health Reporter Nikki Fox is here now .. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
So is Norfolk the only place 16 Plus is operating? | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
They are also used by Suffolk County Council and Cambridgeshire County | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
Council. Cambridgeshire also suspended new placement after our | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
podcast. But Suffolk says it has carried out numerous visits and is | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
fully satisfied. It will continue to place young people with the company. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Although we are not talking about a large number of young people here, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
we are talking about big contracts. SixteenPlus have been paid more than | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
?4 million by Norfolk County Council over the last three years and, in | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Cambridgeshire, they have paid ?230 for every young person they look | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
after. It is important for the councils to make sure the young | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
people are being properly monitored and helped. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
the Prime Minister is about to trigger Article 50, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
and then the next big event in the political calendar | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
They're on May 4th and this year we'll be deciding | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
who we want to represent us on our county councils. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Today, we saw some campaigning already underway. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
These elections are only held every four years. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
County councils are the top tier of local government - | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
they oversee things like social services, care for the elderly, | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
highways, libraries and those schools which aren't academies | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
If we look at political control in our part | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
In Suffolk, the Tories are only control | :05:08. | :05:19. | |
thanks to the charman's casting vote. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
the slimmest of majorities after the so-called | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
So the Conservatives have actually got a lot of work to do. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling visiting a relief road | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
Today, the Conservatives promised that, if | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
re-elected, they will complete the final stretch and turn it into a | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
He was also shown the site of the third river | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
And he launched his party's manifesto. | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
The Tories will talk a lot about their commitment | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
That and their promise to keep down costs and protect public services. | :05:50. | :06:02. | |
One thing people can be certain about if a Conservative council | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
with a good majority elected in May, that you will get value from eye. | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
The money they are visiting this year is going to be well | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Which party is best placed to keep providing | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
That is the main issue in every county in these elections. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Labour say the Conservative's cuts have been too deep. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Councils should be using more of their reserves to ease the pain. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
If we invest in improving some of the things that we need to do, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
like helping people to stay at home when they are elderly and frail, | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
like helping families to stay together when the children | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
are in difficulty or families are in difficulty, we will | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
All the parties have a lot to prove in the elections. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Neighbour wants to show that, despite its problems nationally, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
The Liberal Democrats, once the main opposition | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
If residents have experienced a Liberal Democrat county councillor, | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
they will invariably vote again for the Liberal Democrats. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
The Greens sometimes surprise, while Ukip certainly did last time. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
People now realise that Ukip are not just that one policy party. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Also, we have nobody telling us how to vote. | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
We do what is right for our local people. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Behind the sound bites and the barking are | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
So who we choose to sit on our council chambers will be important. | :07:21. | :07:32. | |
Ipswich Town Football Club has announced a rise in season ticket | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
The cost of an adult season ticket at Portman Road will go up | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
But in a bid to attract more young fans, there will be new deals | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
The changes come as the club nears the end of a disappointing | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
season, and amid further uncertainty over the future of | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
Earlier, I spoke to managing director Ian Milne who told me owner | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
Marcus Evans had invested heavily in the club. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
He is consistently putting more money into the club each year. | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
Our player spend has gone up from 17% three seasons ago it went | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
So he is putting a lot more money than this increase represents. | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
The trouble is, the fans might say you're putting all this extra money | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
in but we're not seeing the results and we're not getting | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
The trouble is, the fans might say you're putting all this extra money | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
in but we're not seeing the results and we're not getting | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
I could understand, it is important that we do entertain. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
However, we are trying to emphasise as part of our restructuring | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
of prices is to get the young fans back in. | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
And those fans who have not attended a football match. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
I know you want to encourage the young fans backing, | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
but the bulk of your supporters will end up paying more, | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
and this will be the fourth season in a row that you've put prices up. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
However, we have on other facilities like our fan zone here. | :09:04. | :09:17. | |
So we are trying to improve the entertainment value. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
I am the first one to say that it really is on the field that we must | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
provide that entertaining football, winning football, and we're trying | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
In fact, they are approaching the lowest since 2002. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
We are striving hard, and I repeat what I said before, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
we know it's entertaining football, the manager has said this | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
and the players are working very hard to achieve better results. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
Equally, you have to say that the Championship | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
is a lot tougher, much, much tougher than in previous years. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Isn't part of the problem here that there is uncertainty over | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
the future of Mick McCarthy and whether he is going | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Mick has made the point that he wants to discuss | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
with the owner his position, the budget, the players. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
Once we get through the end of the season. | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
And that is going to be a discussion between Mr Evans and Mick McCarthy. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
And, yes, naturally, from a settlement point of view, | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
we want that discussion to happen as soon as possible. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
As I know he will not want to discuss those issues | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
until he knows we're safe within the division. | :10:23. | :10:23. | |
A roller skating club in Great Yarmouth could be left | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
without a home because the rink is earmarked for demolition. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
It's in part of the Marina Centre on the seafront. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
But the council is considering a plan to knock it down as part of | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Training is well underway. Look at how great some of these dancers are. | :10:37. | :10:55. | |
Soon, all of this could be coming to an end. The Marina Centre, built in | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
1981, you admirers admit it is showing its age. Now, its future is | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
being discussed by the council. One option, knock it down and replace | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
it. It is costing ?260,000 per year to subsidise that building. More | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
going forward, it is getting older. The fabric of the building and | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
equipment getting older. A decision has still not been made on what to | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
do with the site, but the council say they don't want to lose skating | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
from the town. We are determined to make sure that the artistic club | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
remains in a Great Yarmouth at one destination or another. For eight | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
years, it has been the building to retro skate. Success comes second | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
nature to them. Last year, 16 titles with four skaters in the national | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
team. They also run skating fitness sessions for children of all | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
abilities. I love skating. It is my favourite thing. I do this once a | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
week and I enjoy it. It would make me so upset to watch it go away. The | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
UK has a long history of artistic roller skating. Holding World | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Championship since 1967. COMMENTATOR: One of the most | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
exciting exhibitions ever seen in Britain. Over the years, skating has | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
always been popular in Great Yarmouth. But since Winter Gardens | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
closed in 2008, the Marina Centre is one of the few places left for the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
sport. We are here. If it goes, this place, we are worried about social | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
behaviour, anti-social behaviour. And the impact on the community. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
With no decisions yet May, the future is unclear for the skating | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
club. -- yet made. Over 100 members here at the Great Yarmouth club. One | :12:51. | :13:04. | |
thing is clear, neither the council committee want to see an end to the | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
here in Great Yarmouth. Two schools in Norfolk have been | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
forced to close due to outbreaks Heartsease Primary Academy | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
in Norwich hopes to re-open Attleborough Infant School | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
has also had to close. Teaching and kitchen staff | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
there have fallen ill. Parents have been told that children | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
must be clear of sickness or diarrhoea for 48 hours before | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
returning to school. Jules | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
with the weekend weather. # You only get one life and I wanted | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
to give it to you. #. We look ahead to a documentary | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
tonight on the rise of the Shires. And the much-capped Saints | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
hoping to make history two young sailors from this region | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
were serving with the Royal Navy when a terrible earthquake | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
killed thousands of people. All the sailors went ashore | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
to help with the rescue. At the time, the Chilean | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
authorities were too busy Those two young sailors | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
are now in their 90s - the Chilean Ambassador came | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
to Cambridge to award them The victims and the survivors | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
of the 1939 earthquake, many, Medals for | :14:28. | :14:39. | |
two former Navy men. A thank you from the | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
Chilean Ambassador. For what they did for his country | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
nearly 80 years ago. Three minutes of havoc so fearful | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
as to make the destructive power of modern warfare seem | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
like a nursery game Two Chilean cities are flattened | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
in a devastating earthquake. Frank Burton was on HMS Ajax, | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
Basil Trott HMS Exeter. Anchored there, the Navy launched | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
a humanitarian mission. The demolition that occurred | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
in such a short time. Especially as we had been in that | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
town only one week previously. The thing I remember most | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
about the earthquake I had a full pint of beer | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
on the table, and the earthquake happened, and the glass went | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
like that and suddenly Chile plans to decorate | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
all of the officers and men. Some were awarded medals, | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
but then the war got in the way. Finally, for these two | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
veterans in Cambridge, We believe that it is never late | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
to recognise this kind of support, The solidarity demonstrated | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
by the crew of both ships If we could give assistance, | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
if we were going to be able to help somebody, | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
that made it all the better for us. We were delighted to sort | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
of give something back. Here today, Frank's | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
great-granddaughter. He and Basil, thought to be the last | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
two to be decorated. A proud moment for them | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
and their families. Rugby now, and three players | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
from Northampton Saints will hope to make history this weekend | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
as England go for back-to-back They're also chasing a world | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
record for the number of successive victories - | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
tomorrow would make it 19 matches. But tonight, Saints play a rare | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
match against Bedford Blues. Graham McKechnie is the sports | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
editor at BBC Northampton, These two old East Midlands rivals | :16:59. | :17:14. | |
have been playing each other since 1895. But it is relatively rare that | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
they need. Professionalism has meant that they are usually in different | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
divisions. Which is why tonight cos Jane is a big deal for supporters | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
from both cups, 4000 expected here. Both teams fielding good line-ups as | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
well. The fixture has come about because Saints have had a couple of | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
free weekends and they need gametime before Leicester next Saturday. It | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
is also said Patrick Bay. -- St Patrick's Day. Before that massive | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
encounter tomorrow in Dublin. Another trophy on | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
the road to history. Dylan Hartley one of three | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
crucial Northampton cogs... ..in England's's Sweet | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
try scoring chariot. Back at Franklins Gardens, | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
they are already popping corks, Names like Grayson and Rodber who | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
know what it takes to win in Dublin. Ireland's motivation | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
is to spoil England's's party. England going for an out | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
and out world-record. As a player, they are desperate | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
to achieve those things but you know you've got to compartmentalise, | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
get your brain away from it, As dull as it sounds, | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
if they don't, they're in a world of trouble, | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
if they do do that, they have Hartley, Courtney Lawes and Tom Wood | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
have 189 caps between them. Wood was out of favour one year ago | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
but could win his 50th cap. Courtney Lawes has been | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
a revelation in the pack Dylan had a great game | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
against Scotland, he's playing well. Courtney has been outstanding, | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
gets better and better. Woody, culturally is really | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
important in that group, We are not seeing it as a daunting | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
thing going to Ireland, were all very excited | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
by the opportunity It is a scary thing to do, | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
there is a level of expectation or pressure as you might call it | :19:20. | :19:32. | |
but we are excited by it. Norfolk's Ben Youngs will be ready | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
to snipe from scrum half, If all goes to plan in Dublin, | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
a few more legends could be made. That match tomorrow in Dublin. Here, | :19:39. | :19:57. | |
kick-off is at 7:45pm and we will have live comedy BBC radio | :19:58. | :19:58. | |
Northampton. -- live commentary. We all know it takes dedication | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
to get to the top in any sport. But perhaps we don't always see just | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
what goes on behind the scenes He travels from his home | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
in Huntingdon to a pool in Sheffield And last year, he won a | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
silver medal at the Our sports editor Jonathan Park | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
went with him on the Spent studying, | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
travelling and training. First things first, | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
a breakfast for champions. Lots of fruits and these | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
special protein seeds. He normally gives us a bit more | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
grief when he's trying to drink it. Owen's 15 and in his final year | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
of GCSEs, but when he's not cramming for exams, | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
he's diving for medals. So this one here is the first | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
one I got last year... And I got an individual | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
silver medal on the 10m. That was at the European Junior | :20:59. | :21:08. | |
Championships, but in Russia, At the World Junior | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Championships in December. He is a serious talent, | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
targeting the 2024 Olympics, The love he's got for the diving, | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
I think, that strives him Obviously, he is on the go | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
from seven until at least Owen and his sister, Chloe, | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
study at Hinchingbrooke He is very good at finding | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
what he needs to do and then So he doesn't really | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
have a lot of downtime, so it's an impressive commitment | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
he is taking on. With his books and his diving kit, | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
it is now off to catch a train, six times a week he goes | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
from Huntingdon to Sheffield, Sometimes, the travelling is more | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
than the actual training itself, And the sport so much. | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
That I just think it is worth it. Eventually, just over two hours | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
later, Owen and dad Lee arrive in time for training | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
with the Sheffield Diving Club. Positive T shape, get your | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
chest and your legs, make sure you are looking | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
for your entry points. Owen's a 10m specialist, | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
where nerves of steel are required. You just get used to it | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
after a while, I guess. I've been at it | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
for like three years. Thankfully, Owen's on top form, | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
proving why he's highly rated. He is, from my point of view, | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
probably one of the best The reason being for that is | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
that there is no one else in this country that can go through water | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
like Owen can. Sheffield had to Huntingdon | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
via Doncaster and Peterborough, Back again to do it | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
all again tomorrow. Owen is certainly going the extra | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
mile to achieve his Olympic dream. It is exhausting, but rewarding - | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
when it goes well. That is extraordinary. Incredible, | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
and what a talent. A treat now for fans of The Shires - | :23:05. | :23:18. | |
the country band who have been At the moment, | :23:19. | :23:21. | |

been a whirlwind for The Shires as they reunite -- reignite our | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
interest in country music. A documentary following the success of | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
their debut album, Brave, shows the band working here and across the | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
pond in Nashville, Tennessee. It is very exciting and nerve-racking. It | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
is competitive and people are getting off the bus every day from | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
every little town saying, I can be the next big thing. Behind the | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
scenes, the documentary goes to where the TV series, Nashville, is | :24:47. | :24:50. | |

popular. It is intimate and nerve-racking. You have someone | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
sitting right in front of you. Who knew two years ago that all of this | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
would happen to them cos with two gold albums under their belts, | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
confirmed as the fastest selling UK country act ever, it is no wonder | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
the universe is at their feet. And you can see the full programme | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
on The Shires tonight at 10:30 on BBC Four and of course on BBC | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
iPlayer. They are the nicest people, The | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
Shires. The sun rising. Generally, a lot | :25:47. | :26:02. | |
more cloud around today. You can see that on the satellite picture. You | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
can see the brakes. A lot of those holes filled in. Outbreaks of rain | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
already. Overnight tonight, I think we are going to hold onto an awful | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
lot of cloud with further patchy rain. By some of us, it could be a | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
largely if not completely dry night. Winds gusting at 40 mph. We will | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
hold onto a mainly moderate to fresh westerly. Saturday's weather | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
dependent on the waterfront -- weather front. Rain at times, cloud, | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
but dry weather to. Hopefully the cloud will break now and again to | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
allow brightness and sunshine through. One today, highs of around | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
14 Celsius. -- warmer today. We finished the day largely dry but | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
bits and pieces of rain around. Sunday's weather it still dependent | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
on this waiting weather front moving up and down. It is making it very | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
difficult this weekend. Again, we could have brightness and sunshine. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
The chance we could see a little rain, too. Most should be on the | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
light side, late in the day. Sunday, gasps of 30 or 40 mph. Up rates of | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
rain on Monday, but the better chance of seeing lightness and | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
sunshine on Tuesday, but also showers. | :27:25. | :27:26. | |

It was the most beautiful view I've ever been through. | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
For one second, I was swimming on my back, and I was looking to the sky. | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
I was swimming across the Aegean Sea. | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
