Police investigating the disappearance of the teenagd girl | :01:05. | :01:22. | |
Alice Gross have named a man they want to question to help find her. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
The 14`year`old went missing almost three weeks ago after going for a | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Detectives want to speak to 41`year`old, Arnis Zalkains. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
He was last seen at his Ealhng home last Wednesday evening. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
The new information comes ahead of a national appeal due to be made | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
on the BBC's Crimewatch programme tonight, as Alex Bushill reports. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
He has been reported missing and police say he is not a suspdct. | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Tonight, a major new development. This is the man the police want to | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
trace. He is Arnis Zalkains. He is a Latvian, 41 years old, a falily man | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
and a builder by profession. He too, would cycle to work with a | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
friend along the same towpath that Alice was last seen walking on in | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
these fuzzy CCTV pictures. Ht runs along the grands union canal in west | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
London. She disappeared thrde weeks ago. He went missing exactlx a week | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
later. Given the route taken by Arnis to and from work and given the | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
route that Alice took on th`t particular day, it is highlx | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
possible he may have come across her, cycled past her and max have | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
vital information, thereford, in relation to her movements on that | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
particular day. I'm asking @rnis firstly, if he is listening to this, | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
to come forward and speak to our detectives. That latest polhce | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
appeal comes on the Eve of `nother by Alice's family on tonight's | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
edition of Crimewatch. There is not a moment of thd day | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
that you don't think about @lice and where she is, or what might have | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
happened or why she might h`ve gone missing. It is almost impossible to | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
describe what that pain feels like. The last two weeks have been | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
completely heartbreaking but we just want her to know ` please, @lice, if | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
you are out there, come homd. And if anyone has any information `t all | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
about her movements on that day or about her about wrabouts now, I just | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
really plead with them to come forward to the police and gdt her | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
home because that's where she belongs and she needs to be here | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
with us. Which is why there is still hope in Hanwell that she will return | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
home, safe. Tonight police now believe that this man, Arnis | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Zalkains, may hold the key. You can see more on the search for | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
missing teenager, Alice Gross tonight on Crimewatch at 10.40pm on | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
BBC One. Forced from her home | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
after making a complaint ` we look at how revenge evictions are | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
hurting the capital's tenants. From today millions | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
of passengers can pay for ttbe and train journeys in London using | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
a contactless credit or debht card. So once you swipe the card | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
on an Oyster reader, the fare comes straight out of your bank account ` | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
as long as it's under ?20. Transport bosses say it'll lake | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
travelling easier for custolers But some critics say | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
the system could lead to confusion. Our Transport Correspondent, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
Tom Edwards, has more. For the millions of commuters who | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
use the tube and train in London every day, there is now another way | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
to pay. Contactless bank cards are now accepted. It'll be the same fare | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
as oyster. Anything that extends payments without having to carry | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
cash in your pocket is absolutely mazing. I'm just scared that if you | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
use contactedless, then acttally you are spending money and you don't | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
realise how much you are spdnding. That is the biggest thing to put me | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
off. London is at the forefront of ticketing technology. Bank cards are | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
already accepted on the busds. One of the big advantages of ushng a | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
contactless card over oyster is that it has a weekly cap. That mdans in | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
effect it is a weekly travelcard and the technology is more flexhble so | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
you will start to see it behng used in phones and one bank has devised | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
these, wristbands. Transport for London will sde | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
savings if more use bank cards. The downside is what is being c`lled | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
card clash, where the wrong card in your wallet is charged that. Could | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
mean a maximum fare of ?8.40. Customers need to avoid cash card | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
and it iscy. Present the card you intend to use for travel. If the | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
event you get card clash, wd will seek to correct it automatically, | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
but if it has not been corrdcted, do get in touch and we will issue a | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
refund. I think there will be a hurdles, if there are too m`ny | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
instanceness of card clash, or people being charged for a journey | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
they didn't make, the take`tp might not work but if it goes smoothly it | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
might be a good thing. On the bus abouts they've had a handful of | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
complaints a day about card clash but the banks insist the system is | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
secure We have seen tiny fr`ud losses on contactless cards. They | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
really don't bare speaking B it is really safe and secure and people | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
should be comfortable using it. There is concern that this could be | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
the beginning of the end of oyster cards. TFL insists there is no plan | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
to phase them out but it is expecting hewn numbers of commuters | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
to switch to using bank cards. Tom is at Warren Street station. How has | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
day 1 gone and what is your assessment of Oystercard verses | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
contactless? I got the latest figures for Transport for London and | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
wanted to share them. Very interesting. 15,000 people tsed | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
contactless cards on the rahl and tube, 5,000 on the buses. E`rly days | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
but it does show the potenthal of this new technology. As for which is | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
cheaper, contactless or oyster cards? Most of the time it hs going | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
to be the same. However, it is not black and white, when it coles to | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
these weekly caps and these weekly travelcards. Then, you might be | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
better off sticking to our oyster card, particularly if you vder off | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
from your regular zones, as it were. What I will say, is if you want to | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
get big savings perhaps look at monthlies and annuals. That's where | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
the really big savings are. This at the moment, is about convenhence. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Thank you, Tom. Six South West Trains staff members | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
have been jailed for masterlinding a ticketing fraud thought to be worth | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
more than ?100,000 over two years. The three men and three womdn who | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
worked as ticket office clerks at Richmond station sold fr`udulent | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
travelcards to unsuspecting They were found guilty | :08:03. | :08:04. | |

in north London has been naled by the police watchdog, the IPCC, | :08:08. | :08:15. | |

from Haringey, was shot after officers werd called | :08:18. | :08:19. | |

were responding to reports of a Westfield shopping centre | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
in Stratford had to be evactated Police were called just | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
after mid`day and decided to close the shopping | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
centre while they investigated. The package wasn't suspiciots | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
and the centre re`opened just A court has heard how a teenage boy | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
shot a 15`year`old girl in Shereka Marsh died after shd was hit | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
with a single bullet in the bedroom Tarah Welsh joins us from the | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
Old Bailey with more details. Shereka Marsh was described asker | :08:59. | :09:16. | |
good humoured hard working `nd in line to get good GCSE results but on | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
22nd March she died. The prosecution said on that Saturday afternoon she | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
arranged to meet the defend`nt at his mother's house but seven minutes | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
after she arrived, he called 99 . Now, that call was played to the | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
jury this morning and you hdard the defendant say, "My friend h`s just | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
been shot." He said that if you are times. He said, "I think shd's | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
dying, she's dying, she is `dying." When the operator asked where she | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
had been shot, he said "In the neck." He was asked where the | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
attackers were, he said quodf they've gone." He went on to say she | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
was not breathing and that's when the operator directed him to give | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
them CPR as that was played in court, Shereka's family had to leave | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
the court. And the defendant also had tears in his eyes. What was said | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
about the defendant being in possession of the gun? Well, the | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
prosecution says after the hncident the defendant was taken outside by | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
police and asked what happened. He said she had been shot. We `re both | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
holding it when it went off. He went on to say he didn't know it was | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
going to go off, and he didn't even pull the trigger. When he g`ve a | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
police interview, he told them he'd found the gun the day beford on | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Hackney March and Shereka h`d wanted to see T he then changed his story | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
in a statement and he said that someone had given him the gtn to | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
hide, although he wouldn't say who. The prosecution said the evhdence | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
suggests that the defendant deliberately pulled the trigger as | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
he stood in front of shore dica Jonathan Reece QC said the jury | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
should consider whether he was posing with the gun, he had gone | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
that before, because when hhs phone was examined from the year before, | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
it showed images of the boy posing wb handguns, although it cotldn t be | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
verified if they were real or not but he was seen pointing thdm at the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
person taking the picture. He said those images were also found on | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Shereka'sp phone. The defendant denies murder and the trial | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
continues. Thank you. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Next, it's thought one snevdn families renting in London has been | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
the victim of a revenge eviction, where tennants, who have colplained | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
about their living conditions are forced to leave by landlords. The | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Government is now backing c`lls it change the law to help protdct them. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
We hear one woman's story. Dlizabeth was seven months pregnant whth twins | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
when her landlady knocked them out. Coming back home, the door was | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
locked. I tried to put my kdy in. I couldn't go in. It was rainhng. She | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
got fed up for Elizabeth asking for a contact and for things to be | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
fixed. There were cockroachds, rats, everything inside the place. When | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
you asked her to come and rdpair anything, she would tell yot, "I'll | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
fix it" and she would never turn up. A woke after being locked ott | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Beverly was diagnosed with high blood pressure. She went into Labour | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
twob months early and one of her baby girls, died in hospital. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Beverly, she named after thd housing officer who helped her break back | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
into the house to retrieve herself. We were contracted by an extremely | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
aggressive landlady and a m`le she had brought with her to the property | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
who was extremely abusive and threatening and absolutely be a | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Tuesday to all the advice I was giving her. Beverly's evidence | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
helped take the landlords to court. The man from Chigwell and the woman | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
from Leytonston were found guilty of unlawless eviction and harassment. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Prosecution remains rare but this kind of eviction is not. According | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
to the housing charity, Shelter one in eight families have been served | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
with eviction notices following a be complaint about poor condithons One | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
in nine renters avoided complaining for fear of being kicked out and a | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
London MP is calling for ch`nges in the law. What we are trying to do | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
is, to stop a landlord from being able to convict someone who has | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
complained about a really sdrious problem in their property. Now, we | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
don't want to get into a situation where any tenant can make a spurious | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
claim about something that's not very serious. What we are trying to | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
do is to protect tennants when there is a really, really serious problem. | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
This week the Government sahd it supports the proposal which aims it | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
give landlords a clearer definition of what is expected of them and more | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
security to tennants line Elizabeth and baby Bev, happy in their new | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
home. How would these proposed ch`nges in | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
the law help naents London? Something called a Section 21 notice | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
which means landlords can ask their tennants to leave within two months | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
without giving a reason. In most cases, it is completely above brood. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Nowever it is also a mechanhsm that landlords can use if they are get up | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
with a particular tenant. These proposals would tighten that all up, | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
so if a tenant has a be complaint, he or she takes it to the council | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
and the council agrees a has order exists at the moment, for example, | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
cold or fire, then the landlord cannot issue one of these notices | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
for six months. That means the onus is then on the landlord to do the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
work or at least the tenant has six months to find alternative | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
accommodation. Has there bedn any response from landlords? Yes, I | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
spoke to the national landlords association this afternoon. They say | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
they are not happy about it, they say it imagines the worst`c`se | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
scenario which isn't the experience of the majority of renters `nd they | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
say. Should this become law, it is due for the first proper debate in | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
November. But it is a private member's bill, so it is a lot ri, | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
with not guaranteed time in the Commons, however now it has | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Government support so Sarah Tether and other supporters will bd hoping | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
it can be passed in time for the next generation. | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
People living in Merton and Sutton have given their backing to the | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
south London tram network. Ht means the existing line, from Morden Road | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
could eventually be extended further south to Sutton. More now on this | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
from Yvonne hall in Merton this evening. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
At the moment, trams run about every 10 minutes along here going from | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
Wimbledon through to Croydon. Under the new proposals, there wotld be | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
another four mile tram line built here going from Morden Road right | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
through to Sutton. Merton and Sutton Council say 10 people responded to a | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
consultation and 84% said they wanted more trams in this area. We | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
asked computers this evening what they think of the idea. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
It would benefit everything, social, work. Everything it would bdnefit. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
It would help a lot, yeah. Ht would be easier. Otherwise I have to walk | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
in to Morden to catch a bus to ut isson. I think it would be ` | :16:15. | :16:15. | |
brilliant idea. I'm all for it. The council say the new tral line | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
here would be a massive boost for business and leisure and wotld | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
create thousands of permanent and about 2,000 temporary jobs. They say | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
they are desperate for this to go`ahead. The final decision rests | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
with Transport for London who are considering new plans for ndw tram | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
lines in the Bromley and Crxstal Palace area. It seems nobodx has any | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
idea where the money to fund it would come from. If it does | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
go`ahead, there could be tr`ms running from here all the w`y | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
through to Sutton in about 00 years' time. Back to you. Thank yot very | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
much. Still to come tonight: We h`ve been | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
having unseasonably warm we`ther over the last few days. How long is | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
it set to continue? I will tell you in the forecast coming up l`ter | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
Queens Park Rangers insist they remain on course to move into a new | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
stadium by the end of the ddcade, despite opposition to their plans. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
QPR want to build a 40,000 seat stadium at Old Oak | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
Common, but current landowndrs say they'll block the move. | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
A chance to see upclose, for the first time, QPR's vision of the | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
future. These are among the fans and members of the public the club Juans | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
to convince of its plans to leave Loftus Road for Old Oak Comlon. We | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
see it as a fantastic opportunity for West London. What the Olympics | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
brought to East London, we think there is a similar opportunhty in | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
the West. 20,000 homes and 40,0 0 jobs being created in the area. | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
Obviously, a lot of hopefully a lot of QPR fans happy in that | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
environmental. I think it's a very exciting venture. Yeah. Cautious, | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
but, yes. Ambitious, it's exciting seeing the whole exhibition today. | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
It has been interesting. Thd club can't you are vial on its present | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
site. We desperately need to have a bigger stadium. The club cl`ims 80% | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
of fans back the move, but there's a problem. Car Giant own a 30 acre | :18:32. | :18:47. | |
plot on the Old Oak site. They say they aren't going anywhere. We own | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
80% of the land north side of the Grand Union Canal that is e`rmarked | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
for regeneration. We have otr own plans to bring forward our own | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
scheme that will meet with the GLA vision for the regeneration of the | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
area. Cargiant see themselvds on that site for a long time ydt. What | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
is your response to that? I think, as I said, it's a complex | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
development and I think, for the good of the area and all of the | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
development we need to work together with the local stake holders. With | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
Cargiant saying they aren't willing to any talks Loftus Road cotld | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
remain QPR's home for quite some time. Chris joins us. Clearly | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
controversial. How likely is the move? QPR remain confident. They | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
have the backing of the Gre`ter London Authority, parred part of a | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
wider generation that the M`yor wants to see happen with a Crossrail | :19:45. | :19:53. | |
and a HS2 hub. Cargiant bullish they think they can come up with a | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
scheme to fall in with GLA's plans as well. What has become cldar. They | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
say they don't fear any compulsory purchase order from the council | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
They describe themselves as "willing developers" the 2018 date that QPR | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
came out with, that isn't going to happen. Even their revised date of | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
2019`2020 is looking pretty optimistic. An important wedk | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
forrure pine football with @rsenal in action tonight? Arsenal `way to | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Borussia Dortmund. The Champions League Group stages begin. Welbeck | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
making his debut. Looked brhght at the weekend. Arsene Wenger has | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
defensive problems. He says he expects Borussia Dortmund and Bayern | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
Munich to be among the favotrites for this season's competition. Look | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
at the number of times Bayern has been in the final. There is no | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
obvious reason, in the last five years, why we should not only be | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
there. Borussia Dortmund is a regular participant as well. In | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
Spain they are the two big clubs with Barcelona and Real Madrid who | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
will be contenders again. There is an England v Germany clash? German | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
opponents for Chelsea tomorrow. They are at home to Schalke. Chelsea won | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
3`0 at home and 3`0 away. They are flying in the League, top of the | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
table. Costa, seven goals in four games. They will be confident of | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
another comfortable victory tomorrow night. On Thursday night, in the | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
Europa League, Tottenham aw`y they will take the Europa League | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
seriously this season, if you win it this season you go into the | :21:49. | :21:49. | |
Champions League. Busy, busx. Now to a different kind | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
of league table. London's universities have been | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
ranked as some of the best The latest table shows | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
the capital has two of the world's best five, with Imperial College now | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
considered better than Oxford. Here's our education reportdr, | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
Marc Ashdown. One of the selling points hdre is | :22:09. | :22:23. | |
that employers who want to dmploy all of our graduates in different | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
roles are close to us. They visit here often. It, basically, leans we | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
have more connected to potential industries we could want to go into. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
London is the most successftl University city in the world. In the | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
latest global league table: London has three institutions in the | :22:41. | :22:54. | |
top 20, more than any other city. London is the best city in the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
world. I think New York would have something to say about that, and one | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
or two other places would. We are the most international city. We are | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
the most Cosmopolitan. London is becoming a science, engineering | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
medical capital. Reputations matter because they equal more students who | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
equal more money. The higher a university sits the more thdy can | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
justify charging the ?9,000 tuition fees. There is no cap on wh`t they | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
can charge oversea students. The better the university, the lore | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
money they can make. Are thdre is a wider value beyond the campts. | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
International students are ` vital contribution to the London dconomy. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
They contribute more than ?2.5 billion. It's critical we attract | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
the best minds and talent around the world we get top businesses growing | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
their technology centres here, that provides jobs and growth for the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
capital. Some experts view league tables with scepticism. Thehr | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
significance can't be ignordd. With tuition fees likely to be an | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
election iss next year in London, at least, it appears to be mondy well | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
spent. Now we can have a chdck on the forecast. | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
It has been a glorious week so far. It looks like it is set to continue | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
for the next couple of days at least anyway. Tomorrow a bit of a cloudy | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
start. We certainly have got some sunny spells to look forward to | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Perhaps even a nudge up on those temperatures from today. Let us look | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
at tonight first of all. Thhs will evening we start to see it clouding | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
over through the night. That serves as a blanket keeping the dax's | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
warmth in. It will be a muggy perhaps even uncomfortable night. | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
The temperatures getting down to 13`16 degrees Celsius. Stayhng dry. | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
The fog may develop again. Ht will not be as extensive as it w`s last | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
night. More hill fog than the low`lying stuff. Tomorrow morning, a | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
murky start to the day fog `nd mist patches here and there. There is | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
enough of a breeze to move that through the morning. We will see | :25:07. | :25:18. | |
more of that sunshine in intervals. Up to 25 degrees tomorrow. @s we go | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
into the rest of the weekend there is a change as we introduce showers | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
to Thursday. There should bd sunny spells all the way through hnto the | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
weekend. It will be cooling down. When I say cooling down, not cool | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
weather, it will be pretty good for this time of year, those | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
temperatures look like they will peak on Thursday and gradually | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
decline. So through Wednesd`y night into Thursday a bit more of that fog | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
to contend with. Murky start to Thursday. Sunny spells with heavy | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
and thundery showers in the afternoon. Friday is at higher risk | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
of heavy showers staying with us, also sunny spells too. The showers | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
could continue into the weekend as well. A bit of a wet Saturd`y. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
However, we are hoping thosd showers should then move offed a as we go | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
into the end of the weekend on Sunday. Although over the ndxt few | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
days we have some really decent temperatures for this time of year, | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
it will be a bit of a mixture really. Not continuing with the | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
settled weather we have had recently. We can't complain at all. | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
Thank you very much. With just two days to go | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
