Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
After years of fighting to be heard, a major report into historic | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
institutional abuse says victims should receive an apology, | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Today we are believed as young children who tried to complain about | :00:22. | :00:34. | |
our abuse but no one would listen. The chairman of the inquiry praised | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
the courage of the victims saying their evidence was sometimes | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
distressing and painful for them. We hope that, in some measure, the | :00:40. | :00:53. | |
process of giving evidence, whether acknowledged in private or in | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
public, helped those who were not listened to in the past. | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
A murder inquiry in Lurgan after the body of a woman | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Supporters and opponents show unity after the resignation | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
We wouldn't be where we are in Northern Ireland, in terms of | :01:04. | :01:17. | |
stability, peace and the opportunity to rebuild our country if it hadn't | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
have been for the work that he did put in. | :01:22. | :01:22. | |
And, after the recent gloom, there'll be a bit more sun | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
In their own words, today was a "special, | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
"special day" for victims of historical child abuse. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
After four years of hearings, the Historical Institutional Abuse | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
It investigated more than 60 residential homes and institutions, | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
looking into allegations dating back to the 1920s. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Today, the inquiry concluded that children were subjected | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
The official report outlines how abuse was inflicted | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
in institutions run by the state, local authorities, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
The inquiry, chaired by retired High Court Judge Sir Anthony Hart, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
says there should be a public apology to all those who suffered | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
abuse, a memorial at Stormont as a reminder to politicians | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
of what many children experienced in residential homes, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
and compensation and support services for survivors. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Kevin Sharkey has been following the inquiry for BBC Newsline. | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
The Inquirer investigated the physical, emotional and sexual abuse | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
and neglect of children who were under 18 years of age. There were | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
public hearings into a total of 22 homes and institutions. The inquiry | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
sought evidence and fast amounts of historical documents from seven | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
state, church and charitable organisations. Today, a judgment on | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
that. The long and painful journey from troubled childhoods. Decades of | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
suffering, years of campaigning, today, the results. There were | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
individuals who provided excellent care. There were others who are | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
cruel and abusive, sexually, motioned me towards the children for | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
whom they were responsible. This abuse has affected many people for | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
the rest of their lives. Thousands of young people, toddlers and | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
teenagers were placed in the institutions investigated by this | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
inquiry. Hundreds claimed they were abused or neglected. The inquiry | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
listen to their voices, heard their anguish. Victims and survivors of | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
historical abuse can pull the curtain back over the shame of the | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
last 73 years. The inquiry looked into the past, burying the balloons | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
of countless damaged lives and the scandal of institutional abuse. We | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
know that for the great majority of applicants, this was the first time | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
they'd describe their experiences as children in residential care. Even | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
in some cases to members of the Roman family. The inquiry also | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
investigated sexual abuse at the former boys home in Belfast. Despite | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
years of investigation, the inquiry found no evidence of a cover up. We | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
are satisfied that it was not a homosexual brothel, nor used by any | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
of the security agencies as a honeypot to entrap, blackmail or | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
exploit homosexuals. The public hearings were attended by men and | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
women. Many old, elderly or confirmed. People recalling | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
childhoods stained by abuse, cruelty and neglect. Adult lives scarred by | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the memories. Echoes from the past demanding to be heard. Describing | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
those experiences wasn't always easy. At times it was clearly | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
distressing and painful. The report provides a new historical document | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
on a bleak period in Northern Ireland's past. And an often | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
harrowing and heartbreaking account of damage childhoods. The future, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
according to the report's authors, has a duty to remember and to | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
provide redress. The apology should be a wholehearted and unconditional | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
recognition that they failed to protect children from abuse that | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
could and should have been prevented or detected. A memorial should be | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
erected to remind legislators and others of what many children | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
experienced in residential care. We have provided a detailed framework | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
for the recommended compensation scheme. And for the re-dress board | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
that would administer the compensation scheme. This was an | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
investigation focusing on abuse but the inquiry acknowledge the good | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
work of many people working in the institutions. The report is now | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
available to the public but it has to be implemented by politicians. We | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
therefore urge the new executive and Assembly to give affect our | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
recommendations and to do so as a matter of priority after the | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
election. We believe those who have waited so long for their voices to | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
be heard deserve nothing less. Thank you very much. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
The publication of the inquiry is the end of a long | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Many have died and others live with the significant mental scars | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
BBC Newsline's Tara Mills has been speaking to some of them. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
You may find some of the details in her report upsetting. | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
Margaret has been the public face of the victims but, privately, there is | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
a reason for her involvement in the campaign. Her brother and Kevin. At | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
62, he still lives in care. He has a learning difficulty which she | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
believes is directly related to what he suffered as a child. They | :07:19. | :07:30. | |
sexually abused me. Girls and boys. The abuse happened here, and there | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
was physical violence, too. I have straps on my back. So, the people | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
who were looking after you did that? Yes. Was it saw? I cried. Separated | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
when the mother left home, they were sent to different institutions. With | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
no bombs to parents or siblings, Kevin was particularly vulnerable to | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
abuse. He was misthrow pro -- mistaking these things the love. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
That is all they had from these Kristian brothers and priests and | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
also boys, he understood it as love but it was rape of an innocent | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
child. Kevin didn't have to go to court. The inquiry came to his care | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
hope to hear the evidence. Nobody sees what goes on behind-the-scenes. | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
The politicians don't realise or the inquiry team, they are doing the | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
job. But this is the reality of how people's lives are affected. It | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
wasn't just the Catholic Church that had questions to answer at the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
inquiry. Secrets of state abuse also had to be told. Every day, it's in | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
your mind. Ron Graham spent time at three boys homes. The abuse took | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
place at Kincora. My father had just passed away in December, in 74 or | :09:08. | :09:20. | |
75. I remember going into Kincora. There was something about the place. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
I couldn't put my finger on it. Willie McGraw was sentenced to four | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
years for the crimes he committed against Ron another boys while | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
working as a housemaster. When McGraw approached me, it was in a | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
fatherly way. And I think he played on it emotionally. That was the | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
first time he raped me. So it was. I remember after that happened, he | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
said to me, clean yourself up. And don't say a word. So I did clean | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
myself up and I went out, walk to the cemetery... And I think the | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
police picked me up inside the cemetery. The children who ended up | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
in these institutions had already ensured the pain of loss, abuse or | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
neglect in their own homes. To then faced torture at the hands of the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Church or state is impossibly cruel. Most of these people want someone to | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
pay for what happened to them. With reaction to the findings of | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
the Historical Institutional Abuse Institution after institution, from | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
local authority homes to secular homes, homes run by the Catholic | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Church and won by the Church of Ireland. 22 in total. Those in | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
charge have issued an apology, to those abused in their care. We | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
express our deep regret for what happened to those particular | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
children, and we have failed to protect those children at that | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
particular time. Does it bring shame to Barnardo 's? I don't think so | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
because we exercised duty of care when we realised we'd had problems. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
We've approached the inquiry with openness. And taken responsibility | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
to bring about change and learn lessons. The largest number of | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
complaints related to for sister of Nazareth homes. Much of the sexual | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
abuse was known by the members of the clergy. The report found nothing | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
was done to stop the abuse. The report was discussed with Pope | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Francis today. TRANSLATION: It isn't easy to hear but however unpalatable | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
it might be, I think all of us must accept the findings of this report, | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
and we must cooperate fully with the new Northern Ireland executive in | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
ensuring that proper reparation is made, to those that have been hurt | :11:54. | :12:04. | |
and traumatised by those things. The Department of Health has conceded | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
systemic failings on the part of its predecessor, specifically in | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
connection with legislation and inspection. The health minister | :12:13. | :12:13. | |
said... Barnardos say while lessons have | :12:14. | :12:29. | |
been learned, organisations cannot rest on their laurels. Any | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
organisation who says there is no risk is very unwise. I what is | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
important is to be constantly vigilant and constantly improving | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
standards, otherwise we're just complacent. The Department of | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Justice say the findings of the report are being carefully examined. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
Any new lessons to emerge from it will be acted upon. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
You've sat in on these hearings for the last | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
four years and listened to at times | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
What do you think this inquiry has meant to the victims | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Well, I suppose this evening that is the question because essentially | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
what happened today was the chairman of the inquiry, Sir Anthony Hart, he | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
passed the baton on to Stormont. It's now up to the politicians when | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
they get back together, if they get back together, to decide, number | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
one, when will there be that public apology, number two, when will that | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
memorial in the grounds of Stormont be put in place, and, number three, | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
when will the re-dress process and process of compensation be put in | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
place and when will the victims benefit from that compensation? | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
Because, at the end of the day, and at the end of this inquiry process, | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
let's not forget that this is about victims, about people, people who | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
travelled from different parts of not only Northern Ireland but | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
different parts of Ireland, the UK, and from as far away as Australia, | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
because many children were sent to Australia in the middle of the last | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
century. And during the last three years when I've been covering the | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
inquiry at the courthouse, day after day, I watched victims and survivors | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
walking through the doors of that courthouse in ones and twos and you | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
could see the pain and hurt etched on their faces. Today, there were | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
dozens of victims and survivors in a hotel in South Belfast and, for the | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
first time in all that time, I saw very many of them smile today. Thank | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
you very much. A murder investigation has begun | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
after the body of a woman was discovered at a house in Lurgan | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
early this morning. Police say she was | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
51-year-old Anita Downey. This report from | :14:54. | :14:54. | |
Michael Fitzpatrick. Police were called to this house in | :14:55. | :15:06. | |
Lurgan with the woman's body was found at around 2:50am. A man of the | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
same age was arrested on suspicion of murder and is being questioned by | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
detectives. This is a quiet residential area around 100 yards or | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
so from the local high school in Lurgan. A woman living next door | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
says her young daughter was awoken in the early hours by the sound of | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
shouting and glass being smashed. People living here say they've been | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
left shocked at waking up to a crime scene on their doorstep. We're just | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
saddened by it. People get on well here but you don't want this to | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
happen anywhere, and my thoughts go out to the family because it is | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
somebody's loved one that has died. People's thoughts and prayers are | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
very much with the deceased's family. It's very sad news at the | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
start of the New Year to have a death of this nature. And certainly | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
I'd encourage anyone who has any information to come forward to the | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
PSNI. A postmortem examination is due to take place. A 51-year-old man | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
remains in police custody. Sinn Fein are to reveal next Monday | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
who will replace Martin McGuinness. Today, party president Gerry Adams | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
said the former Deputy First Minster Politicians from across the board | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
have all paid tribute to Mr McGuinness, including the DUP | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
MP Ian Paisley, who thanked him Here is Our Political | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Correspondent Stephen Walker. A welcome for a man seen by many as | :16:25. | :16:41. | |
a local hero. Last night in his home city Martin McGuinness received much | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
praise. I've been to many famous places throughout the world but my | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
heart lies here. Political tributes have flowed from all sides, | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
including the Prime Minister, the Taoiseach and the local parties. The | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
DUP leaders said... There were other tributes from | :17:02. | :17:38. | |
parties, and one that stood out was from last night's BBC programme, The | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
View, from Ian Paisley. I want to say thank you and it is important we | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
reflect on the fact that we wouldn't be where we are in Northern Ireland | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
in terms of having stability, peace and the opportunity to rebuild our | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
country if it hadn't have been for the work that he put in, especially | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
with my father. Ian Paisley's comments provoked quite a reaction | :18:03. | :18:14. | |
on social media, and there were warm words from the DUP's political | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
rivals, including many Republicans. The TUV leader gave a different | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
response. He wrote... Talking about Martin McGuinness, Ian Paisley's DUP | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
colleague Gregory Campbell said, the regret is he didn't engage much | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
earlier in the peaceful path. Today, Gerry Adams said Martin McGuinness | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
had a life-threatening condition, and welcomed the tributes to him, | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
particularly the remarks from Ian Paisley, the North Antrim MP. I very | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
warmly welcome in Paisley's remarks, they were very appropriate and | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
fitting, and I think they are in many ways representative of the | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
great work that his father, Ian Paisley senior, did along with | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Martin McGuinness. Sinn Fein must now contemplate life without Martin | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
McGuinness imposed. Tonight, Alicia McCallion will be selected to run in | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
his place in the Foyle constituency. He figures are also being tipped for | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
a leadership role, including the health minister. Then there's the | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
finance minister, and the former MP Conor Murphy. Sinn Fein will reveal | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
who will lead them at Stormont on Monday. | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
So, how has that praise of Martin McGuinness by Ian Paisley | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
gone down in the DUP MP's North Antrim constituency? | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has been sampling the mood in Ballymena. | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
Ian Paisley's office is in the heart of Ballymena, and on the street | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
outside, last night's interview was the big talking point. Did you see | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Ian Paisley last night? What did you think? I thought he was brilliant. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
ORE: Very good and very true. It was measured. It was of the time, it has | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
to be said. Did he go too far? May the some people. Not for you? Not | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
funny. There's a great deal of religious people here but not many | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
questions and Mr Paisley showed his Kristian Moss Side. Did he go too | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
far? I think so. I think, after all the years... I'm not being | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
religious, maybe if he had confessed to some of the things he'd done over | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
the years. What do you think of Martin McGuinness? Not much, to tell | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
you the truth. Good riddance. It's hard to forget about his earlier | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
life and what he did. And he hasn't really come clean about that. | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
McGuinness? Maybe he's tried his best over the last ten years. We | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
also gathered some opinions in Londonderry. He will be missed, I'm | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
not sure who will replace him. He did a good enough job at humility | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
has to come out, and they have to be sorry for the things they did | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
throughout the years. Back in Ballymena, an appeal to all | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
politicians to focus on the future, not the past. Protestant, Catholic, | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
where a mixed community and we have to live together. And the | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
fighting... We don't want that back. We definitely don't want it back. | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
The election is still six weeks away but it is already clear that many | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
voters have strong views. A troubled GP surgery | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
in Portadown is to be taken over The GP practice which has more | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
than 5,000 registered patients, faced closure after its last | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
remaining doctor resigned and on Monday a contractor | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
who was in negotiations to take it It's been another long week | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
in politics and the continuing fallout from the RHI scandal has | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
focused attention on the role They play a pivotal role in | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
the relationship between a minister, his department and party | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
but they rarely face The controversy over the RHI scheme | :22:24. | :22:38. | |
has shaken this place to its core and prompted an Assembly election. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
It's also brought the role of special adviser into the limelight. | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
On Tuesday, the DUP special adviser in the Department of economy said he | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
was stepping aside from anything to do with the RHI scheme. It followed | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
revelations his father-in-law is a claimant. Yesterday, another DUP | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
SPAD was centre stage. Andrew has felt that given what occurred | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
yesterday and, indeed, today, that he was becoming a distraction. | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Andrew Crawford resigned over allegations he influenced a decision | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
to keep the renewable heat scheme open. He denies any wrongdoing. What | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
is the role of the special adviser, and how much power do they have? | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
These are people who are appointed to be a friend of the minister, | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
somebody to advise him or her, to provide non-civil service view, to | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
give a political aspect to the decision-making. But many SPADs are | :23:34. | :23:43. | |
proxy ministers. I've dealt with them, and some are there to advise, | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
but others are running the show. This former STO Pete SPAD says it is | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
vital for good government. You could get a potential political row | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
brewing between two parties and quite often the SPADs can get | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
together and reason something out and come up with a compromise, take | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
it back to their political masters the decision. One journalist who's | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
followed events closely says the rule is important but there is room | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
for improvement. There's not much in terms of a code of conduct for | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
SPADs. There's a lot more secrecy around what they're paid. It's only | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
recently Stormont has agreed to publish exactly what these SPADs are | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
paid. There are more than anywhere else in the UK. With the rolling the | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
spotlight, some are suggesting reforms, when and if devolved | :24:31. | :24:31. | |
government returns. Now, pupils in two local | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
schools were doing some But while some were looking | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
back to the past, others were experiencing the classroom | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
of the future. Our Education correspondent | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
Robbie Meredith explains all. The first place we're going to go is | :24:42. | :24:54. | |
reared de Janeiro in Brazil. Pupils in this college are seeing the world | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
and beyond without leaving their classroom. It might seem high-tech | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
but it simple. It is images filmed with a special camera, downloaded | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
onto a phone, then seen as virtual reality through these cardboard | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
glasses. The original footage doesn't look exciting but it is | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
turned into an immersive all-round experience. You've been on the moon, | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
different planets. It isn't like talking or writing all the time. It | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
is more fun. The boys are going from the Philippines to Australia and we | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
are touching on a range of subjects with science, geography, ICT. From | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
the virtually real to the really real. At this school, it's the end | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
of a three-year progress restoring this World War II tank. It was | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
rusty, and it wasn't this lovely shade of green it is now. It was | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
falling apart a little bit. Looking back on it and thinking what it's | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
done through the years and how it was brought back, it's fascinating | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
to figure out the back story to it. To schools, one looking back, one to | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
the future. Now the weather. | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
After the gloomy skies, the promise of something brighter heading into | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
the weekend, some sunshine at times, particularly tomorrow. A lot of dry | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
weather in the forecast as well but it'll be chilly. We will have some | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
light frosts around. It started out frosty this morning in parts of the | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
north-west. It turned into a lovely sunrise before the cloud came | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
rolling in. Through the afternoon, the cloud has moved away northwards | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
and it'll continue to erode away through this evening and overnight. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
Grey skies, falling temperatures, Whiteley down to freezing and minus | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
three minus four in the countryside. Quite a sharp frost, white bread | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
with mist and fog as well. Tomorrow looks like the fine day, spells of | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
sunshine, the best of those during the frosty morning. The fog | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
eventually lifting as well. It is the afternoon, the cloud moves in | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
from the south, still dry, brighter spells but cold. If you're heading | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
along to the king span stadium tomorrow, it is dry and bright but | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
you'll need the layers. Tomorrow night, we have a bit more cloud than | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
tonight. Nevertheless, still cold, still places heading around zero. | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
They could be an icy patch, and more cloud on Sunday compared to | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
tomorrow. More showers towards the east. Other than that, dry. A few | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
bright spells but it is still pretty cold. | :27:45. | :27:44. | |
Not too bad. You can also keep in contact with us | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
