Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
A judge rules PC Paul Briggs - who's been in a coma for 17 months | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
after a motorbike accident - can be allowed to die. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
This court case is the hardest thing we've ever had to do, but we did it | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
for Paul to honour his wishes. His family say it's | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
the right decision. But doctors treating PC Briggs | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
want to appeal the decision. Matthew was killed when a human | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
cannonball stunt went wrong. Today his employer was fined | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
for health and safety failings. The school dinners that really are | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
rubbish, why these students are getting waste food for the Christmas | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
dinner. The students who're bringing | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Harry Potter's mythical game A judge has agreed that a seriously | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
injured Merseyside Police officer PC Paul Briggs suffered catastrophic | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
brain injuries in a road crash. He can't move or communicate | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
and is being kept alive by food His wife argued that - | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
with no hope of recovery - her husband would not wish to live | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
in this way. This afternoon a judge | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
in London agreed with her. Our Chief Reporter, | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Dave Guest, was in court - and earlier I asked him for more | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
details on the case. Paul Briggs was a former soldier | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
turned police officer. He was on his way to a shift one | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
July morning last year, when he was involved in a road | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
accident on his motorcycle. He suffered very severe brain | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
injuries, and is currently in the Walton Centre in Liverpool, | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
in what is known as a minimally conscious state, which means | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
he cannot move or communicate. He's only being kept alive | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
because nutrition and hydration are being clinically administered | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
to him by medics. Last month his wife Lindsay went | :02:00. | :02:13. | |
to the Court of Protection in Manchester to urge a judge | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
to order those doctors to stop She said her husband had | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
always made it plain that if he was ever severely disabled, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
he wouldn't want to continue living. Well, representatives | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
from the health trust and the Official Solicitor, | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
a person appointed by the government to speak on behalf of people | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
who cannot speak for themselves, opposed her application, | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
arguing that there was a chance that at some point in the future, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Paul's position might improve slightly, but they accepted he would | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
always be severely disabled. What did the judge said | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
in handing out his decision? Essentially he came down in favour | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
of what Paul Briggs's wife had been saying all along, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
he said that if Mr Briggs was sitting in my chair, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
he would not want to continue having the clinically administered | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
nutrition and hydration, so he ordered that the doctors | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
should stop administering it and arrange for him | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
to be transferred to Mrs Briggs was not in court | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
in London today to hear this, This court case is the hardest thing | :03:03. | :03:14. | |
we have ever had to do, but we did it for Paul, | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
to honour his wishes. We are grateful that | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Mr Justice Charles has shown compassion towards Paul, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
has respected his wishes and values and has understood | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
what Paul would have wanted. But that might not be | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
the end of the matter? No, that's right, it's possible | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
that the Official Solicitor may well seek leave to appeal, | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
and that news has certainly caused some concern | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
for Paul Briggs's family. We feel overwhelming despair | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
and sorrow, but we know that we have to try to somehow cope | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
and to continue for Paul. Given this continued uncertainty, | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
Christmas will now not to be If leave to appeal is granted, | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
all parties agree it must happen as quickly as possible | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
because currently the decision made by the judge today remains on hold | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
until the outcome of any appeal Sir Mark Hedley was a judge | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
at the Court of Protection before He ruled over many | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
life-and-death cases. Earlier I asked him how judges make | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
such difficult decisions. The law is quite simple because it | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
requires you to make decision on the person's best interest, | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
and then what amounts to someone's best interest | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
is a hugely wide subject, which varies dramatically | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
from case to case. The idea really is that | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
you try to get to know the person about whom you're making | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
the decision, you try to understand the decision that they would have | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
made, had they been able to do so, and provided you think that's | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
in their best interest, One would imagine that when you're | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
making a decision like this, that is the hardest job that | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
you can ever do. Yes, intellectually, of course, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
it's not all that difficult because the law is not all that | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
difficult but there is such a huge amount at stake and people have vast | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
emotional investment in these cases, for entirely good reason, | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
they are very pressurised It is probably a horrible, | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
unkind thing to ask you, really, but have there ever been occasions | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
where you have lay in bed and thought, have I made | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
the right decision, how do I agonise about these cases | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
until I have made the decision. I have then rather learned | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
to switch off after that. I can still think about the case, | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
but it won't trouble me, provided I feel I have given my best | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
shot to it. The decisions you have had to make, | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
they are not always You're sometimes looking | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
at the welfare of someone which might be different | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
from perhaps what Is that trickier, when you're | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
deciding on the future welfare? In these cases, what families think | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
matters, but family do not have a final say in the matter, | :06:09. | :06:21. | |
just as they don't in welfare cases. At the end of the day, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
the decision maker, in this case the judge, | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
has to decide what that person When the public look at this, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
when the press report on this, it can look very stark that perhaps | :06:30. | :06:43. | |
a family member is saying, we want our loved one's life | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
support to be switched off, but that is not an easy decision | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
for any family member to come to. And if people make lasting powers | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
of attorney, then they can get these decision-making powers | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
to their families, And at the end of the day, | :07:03. | :07:03. | |
the views of the family and the carers are one of the things | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
the judge has to take into account, Thank you very much | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
indeed for your time. Police patrols at | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Manchester's Christmas Markets are being increased - | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
in response to last night's The Greater Manchester force say | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
there's no intelligence about a threat here - | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
but are mounting a bigger Merseyside Police has announced | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
plans to recruit 140 new constables. The campaign will focus | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
on finding officers from under-represented communities - | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
such as black, ethnic minority, The force says it's important | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
staff should reflect A planned strike by airport baggage | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
handlers later this week More than 300 members | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
of the Unite union - working for Swissport | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
at Manchester Airport - were due to walk out | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
on Friday and Christmas Eve, in a dispute over | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
pay and conditions. A Merseyside Hospital Radio DJ | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
says he's been sacked - after presenting his show topless, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
as a joke with listeners Nigel Bateman, who worked | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
on the volunteer-run Radio Broadgreen, | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
was told his behaviour was inappropriate and would damage | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
the station's reputation A company which employed stuntmen | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
for public displays has been fined ?100,000, | :08:21. | :08:38. | |
after a man died performing Matthew Cranch - originally | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
from the Isle of Man - suffered fatal injuries in front | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
of hundreds of spectators. The boss of Stunts UK - | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
which employed him - has also been sentenced to 100 | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
hours of community work These pictures were recorded moments | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
before Matthew Cranch was fired from the mouth of a cannon | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
at the Kent County The safety net that should have | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
broken his fall gave way sending him He died from his | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
injuries in hospital. Today his boss, Scott May of Stunts | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
UK, was sentenced in Maidstone after admitting breaches | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
of health and safety. The court heard that a mechanism | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
that triggered the release of the safety net hadn't | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
been set properly. The company's health | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
and safety was, according Mr Cranch had performed the stunt | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
only five times previously and had joined the team only a month | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
before his death. Matthew's parents were in court | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
as a victim impact statement was read, describing Matthew | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
as an intelligent, happy young man. There are calls to avoid job losses, | :09:31. | :09:48. | |
after one of the region's largest financial services firms was bought | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
for almost ?2 billion 2,000 staff work | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
for the UK's biggest credit card supplier - | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
MBNA - at its headquarters It's one of the firms which has made | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Chester a centre for the financial Our Cheshire reporter Mark Edwardson | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
is at MBNA's offices in Chester. Lots of people know all about the | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
company, but for those who don't, further afield, tell us more about | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
MBNA. Well, it is a large and very profitable firm. Last year it made | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
more than ?160 million. It is also quite generous, sponsoring things | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
like the local football team and others in and around the city. There | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
are 7 million credit card holders of MBNA across the country, so there is | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
a good chance that if you have got a credit card in your wallet or purse, | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
MBNA may have supplied it. As you mention, there are almost 2000 | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
people work here at MBNA's headquarters. Lloyds has agreed a | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
deal to buy MBNA from its parent company, Bank of America, for ?1.9 | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
billion. Lloyds are going to look to make some savings, aren't they? Yes, | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
it has been reported that the company... That might have an impact | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
on staff. MBNA is a big fish in what is quite a big local pond for | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
financial services here in Chester. Its neighbours here include virgin | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
money, Bank of America, diners club, and Lloyds. In fact, it is second | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
only to Manchester in the region in terms of the size of its financial | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
injury. Chester's MP has called on MBNA and Lloyds to avoid job losses, | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
but others say if there are already job losses here, which we have no | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
suggestion to say that there are, they could be soaked up in the | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
burgeoning financial services industry. I think business will grow | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
because birds of a feather flock together, and it is really a | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
significant financial cluster here. I am optimistic that is what will | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
happen. We have seen it elsewhere in Chester, in the life sciences | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
sector, and I think we will see it here in the financial sector. Nobody | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
from MBNA has been available for comment, but they have given us a | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
statement, they have an enthusiastic new owner, who sees MBNA is a | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
strategic investment for the future. Accompanied like Lloyds making this | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
decision means a lot. Completion should be sometime in early 17, | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
where we will get a clearer view of what the effect might be on staff. | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Thank you. Crunch times for Sale | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
as the sharks try to stop of Harry Potter to the sports fields | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
of Preston - the students learning School dinners have long been | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
a topic of conversation - Good or bad! | :13:04. | :13:21. | |
My school lunch never looked anything like that! | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
But today's Christmas lunch at a school in Stockport | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
All the ingredients were unsold supermarket food - | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
Instead they were turned into a festive meal for 100 students | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
This is not just any succulent chicken Christmas dinner. | :13:34. | :13:46. | |
Crispy roast potatoes and fine green beans. | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
This is all waste supermarket food from failed deliveries - | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
collected last night and brought here early this morning | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
This food is in date, there is nothing wrong with that, it just | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
missed a delivery. Cate Bauer and Nikki Pope | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
are passionate about reusing food. This was their wedding | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
in Manchester in June - they served waste food up | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
to their guests who loved it. Helped by the Real Junk Food | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
Project, they're now doing the same Why not share this and keep going? | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
We have pledged to keep going. Kids have been involved throughout the | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
day, and also their eyes are being opened to, what is wrong with these | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
vegetables, there is nothing wrong with that. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Overseen by a chef, students are cooking today's | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
It is quite sad because there is nothing wrong with the food, it was | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
fine. It looks nice and there are people hungry out there. Are you | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
looking forward to eating it? Yes, definitely. I am always hungry. | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
After hours of preparation it's time to serve the food up | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
It is obviously something very important here, it is the kind of | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
thing we teach our children to care for one another, care for the | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
environment, so taking up this project was an ideal opportunity, | :15:10. | :15:10. | |
one we couldn't miss. The big question - | :15:11. | :15:11. | |
how does it taste? Delicious. It tasted like you would | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
have got it fresh out of the supermarket. This is the first time | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
waste food has been served through this project in a school. The hope | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
is it has been so successful today, but lots of other schools will | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
follow suit. The proof here is in | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
the clean plates. This may be waste food - | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
but the students aren't I think that is a great idea. The | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
only thing is, it is the name, waste food. My fridge at home is full of | :15:48. | :15:57. | |
things past its sell by date, there is nothing wrong with that. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Onto sport now and Stuart Pollitt is here. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
The hard fought Merseyside derby didn't lack drama last night? | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
That's right, flares on the field, fist pumps on the Liverpool bench | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
but plenty of fed-up Everton fans inside Goodison Park last night. | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Liverpool left it late, very late to clinch victory, | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
the only goal of the game coming in the 94th minute. | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
Daniel Sturridge's shot hit the post and Sadio Mane followed up | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
They move second in the table and Everton's derby misery continues. | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
It's just one win in 20 derbies now for the blues. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
Let's hear from both managers, starting with Jurgen Klopp. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
We could have scored earlier, we had a lot of chances, but they did not | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
give one chance away, more importantly. So it was quite | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
difficult against an opponent who only wants to disturb your game. I | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
am really disappointed because we conceded a goal in extra time, that | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
was difficult, difficult to keep one point until 95 minutes was killing | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
for us. Joey Barton is rejoining Burnley | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
on a short term deal The midfielder was Player | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
of the Year as Burnley won promotion but left Turf Moor in the summer | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
to join Rangers. He was released by the | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Scottish club last month. Barton's already training | :17:26. | :17:27. | |

coach Steve Diamond. Are you feeling pressure with the | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
situation? Yes, I do not like losing, I have been here for six | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
years and we have always been a top six site, so this is disappointing. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
We are one or two macro wins away from being fixed. So we will need to | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
keep faith. They'll need more than | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
faith to resolve a legal His former club Castleford are suing | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
Sale over his transfer. They believe it was a clear | :18:29. | :18:33. | |

in court? I am confident we made an offer, and he was fired through | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Castleford, and then we got in touch and signed a contract. | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
The latest big name to be linked | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
with the club is George Ford, the England fly-half. | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Would you be interested in him? Yes, we would be interested in him to | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
take the club where we want a ticket to. When January arrives on the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
transfer window opens, we can start discussions if he fancies a chat. | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
Fetching Oldham-born Ford to the north west would be | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
But for now these players need to stick together and concentrate | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
on securing Sale's place in the top flight. | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
Now you may be wondering why Harry Potter's making an appearance | :19:32. | :19:50. | |
The game born on the pages of JK Rowling's novels | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
has been transformed into a real life version. | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
It's officially recognised as a sport and is being | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
played at universities across the north west. | :20:00. | :20:00. | |
Versus Quidditch, a game where groups and sticks are used. This is | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
it played in real-life. This is plastic and PVC, so that way we do | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
not hurt anyone. It is up full contact sport. Every now and again | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
you will see a silly photograph of someone jumping in the year, with | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
some and jumping between them, so it looks like they are flying, but it | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
is a bit like rugby. Last year Quidditch was acknowledged as a | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
sport in the UK and it is getting its own Premier League. It is | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
already well-established in the USA and seems to pull in the crowds. Not | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
quite the same in Preston, yet. But there are -- they are fiercely | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
competitive, so it is probably best to leave the field if you're not | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
involved in the match. Brims up! Preston's components from the | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
University of Liverpool were flying, so to speak. Repeatedly throwing a | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
ball through opposition hopes. We were at the northern tournament a | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
couple of weeks back, it was deadly serious, pretty savage times. And he | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
sealed victory by grabbing this man's tail. Game over. It is | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
competitive on the pitch, but as soon as you're off the pitch | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
everyone is friendly. I can imagine you in the role of Harry Potter. | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
Yes, I have always been a fan, and Quidditch is good. A sport many | :21:36. | :21:45. | |
people can relate to. There you go, a new sport to take up in the New | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Year. Does it count as Quidditch if it is not in the sky? It is | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
officially recognised as a sport. You will need to ask JK Rowling. We | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
were speaking about waste food earlier than we were corrected | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
because we said it was beyond its sell by date, and it isn't, it is | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
just food that has not been sold. Surplus food. There is only one | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
person passed their best before date here. | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
Very true. Will you be doing the cooking for | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
Christmas dinner, maybe you have family and friends coming around, | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
will you cope? I will do my bit to help. It is fictional Lillian Jones | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
has been cooking lunch every week for the least two dozen people. Her | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
great-niece says she is dedicated to the club and has more energy than | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
people half her age. We went to meet the Christmas staff. With Lilian in | :22:49. | :22:58. | |
charge, there is no doubt lunch will be on time. She has been leading a | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
team of volunteers for 25 years. She is dedicated, fantastic. Marvellous. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
With her boundless energy, 86 she rolled Lilian never tires of cooking | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
for the luncheon club. I love cooking, number one, and when you're | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
cooking for yourself it is not the same. It gives me great pleasure | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
that once a week I cook for about 24, 28 every week. This club is as | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
much about friendship as it is about enjoying good food, and as a widow, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
Lilian knows what it is like to feel lonely. The rest of the week I | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
hardly see people, but come Tuesday it is a great day. I really look | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
forward to coming here and meeting people. Green it is gathering | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
together for good food and fellowship. I think the kindness and | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
companionship. Lillian was nominated by her great-niece from abroad, and | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
everyone agrees she is a Christmas staff. , thank you! That is lovely! | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
Wonderful. -- Christmas star. I am thrilled. It is a delight because I | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
love coming here. Singing Wonderful. She puts us a shameful | :24:21. | :24:37. | |
stop I am worried about doing it for six people, let alone 28 people! | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
Unfortunately the weather is going to be rotten. | :24:43. | :24:52. | |
Yes, Barbara is on her way, and she may be bringing a friend. This has | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
yet to be determined, but the weather is really going to cause | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
problems as we had through the next couple of days, particularly on the | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
run-up to Christmas and beyond. Today our viewers cot the calm | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
before the storm, but it is really quite chilly out and about today. | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
The breeze has been gusty, and over the next few days very difficult | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
conditions are in the offing, and there could be some disruption | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
possible. The Met office have issued a weather warning -- your weather | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
warning for Friday about the strength of the wind. There could be | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
some disruption, soak the BBC local radio stations will be the best | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
place to keep your -- get your information. The details will be | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
firmed up. Friday is a very difficult day for people travelling, | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
and that the minute it looks like the worst day around, so you may | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
need to change plans. And the minute it is dry, but over the next couple | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
of hours we have rain coming towards us but it is moving into the Isle of | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Man, and it should be clipping the coast by nine o'clock, then it will | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
spread everywhere are going through the night. The wind is behind it, so | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
it will move through relatively quickly, so by two AMR PAM, it | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
should be gone. After that the region will clear. Because the sun | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
comes up late in the morning temperatures will start to call back | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
down. -- by 2am or 3am. With the clear whether coming in for quite | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
sometime tomorrow morning, many places will start with temperatures | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
of four or five. In the country said it could be one or two. If you are | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
up very early when the sun comes up, you may see it for awhile, but here | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
is the next line of rain tomorrow morning. It is very short lived | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
again, but it is fairly lively, more showery in nature, with a few lumps | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
of rain from time to time. Once that has gone, by lunchtime for all of | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
us, it a much better picture, but it is very changeable because you will | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
see some showers through the afternoon. The breeze is south to | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
south-west, and after tomorrow Thursday does not look too bad. Here | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
comes the storm. In the middle part of Friday the winds could be 60 or | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
70 miles an hour. There is an amber warning for parts, but it is a | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
yellow warning for us. That could change, but rarely at this time of | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
year does it change for the better. In all seriousness, people with | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
travel plans, you need to be careful. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
And you have got to keep listening because things do change, but not | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
always for the better. The local radio stations will keep | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
you informed. We will be back later for an update. | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
