:00:10. > :00:17.In tonight's programme: A shortage of nearly ?200 million for future

:00:18. > :00:22.health services in Oxfordshire. Medical bosses are calling for

:00:23. > :00:26.improvements to current care. Also coming up: Councillors in

:00:27. > :00:30.Oxfordshire say changes are needed for dealing with young abuse

:00:31. > :00:35.victims. It is after a new report looking into operation Bulfinch.

:00:52. > :00:55.Good evening. Our health services are under big pressure, according to

:00:56. > :00:58.Oxfordshire's most senior GPs. The county's clinical commissioning

:00:59. > :01:01.group, which is in charge of local health care, says the county is

:01:02. > :01:08.facing a ?200 million shortfall in the amount it needs to pay for

:01:09. > :01:12.health services in future years. Medical bosses say growing demand

:01:13. > :01:16.for care is leading to failures in parts of the system. They're now

:01:17. > :01:21.looking to the public to help find new ways of working. Emma Vardy is

:01:22. > :01:26.here with more. Our local health services are under

:01:27. > :01:32.unprecedented strain, according to doctors. They say the big reason is

:01:33. > :01:36.our ageing population. We are all living longer and needing more care.

:01:37. > :01:43.Also, our alcohol consumption has increased, and so has obesity. Now,

:01:44. > :01:47.for the first time, Oxfordshire's clinical commissioning group has set

:01:48. > :01:51.out how much our local health finances are falling short and based

:01:52. > :01:56.on current demand, it says within just seven years health services in

:01:57. > :02:01.Oxfordshire will face a deficit of almost ?200 million. Acting shirt

:02:02. > :02:09.and Swindon will also face similar funding gaps. `` arcing share.

:02:10. > :02:14.Just doing the same will not deliver that level of savings for our

:02:15. > :02:21.population. Some things will have two change we have got a short

:02:22. > :02:26.amount of time to do things very differently from before. This is a

:02:27. > :02:31.big job. It is a scale that we have not seen before. In future, you

:02:32. > :02:35.could have online consultations with your GP to save time on

:02:36. > :02:39.appointments. Patients could begin from more of their own equipment to

:02:40. > :02:43.monitor things, like blood pressure or diabetes. And, results will be

:02:44. > :02:50.sent on e`mail. Emergency clinics could be opened where patients can

:02:51. > :02:56.visit consultants for tests without having to visit hospital. But,

:02:57. > :03:02.people will have to accept some big changes in their care. From today, a

:03:03. > :03:08.series of public meetings are being held in Oxfordshire to get peoples

:03:09. > :03:13.views. It would not suit me to do it online because I don't do online,

:03:14. > :03:18.but I do realise that I have probably got to become more overlay

:03:19. > :03:23.with it. It is a good health system and it needs more money. We are

:03:24. > :03:27.living longer. How do we save money? People living longer have got to

:03:28. > :03:32.take more tablets, haven't they? Maybe the man at the top should not

:03:33. > :03:34.get so much money. Peoples opinions are wanted in order to shape the

:03:35. > :03:51.delete macro services in future. The director of children's services

:03:52. > :03:57.in Oxford admits the council was wrong in the way it dealt with

:03:58. > :04:03.victims of child abuse. A report has been published today in response to

:04:04. > :04:07.operation Bulfinch which saw seven men jailed for a total of 95 years

:04:08. > :04:11.for child sex offences. The men were found guilty in May this year on 59

:04:12. > :04:14.counts, including rape and facilitating child prostitution.

:04:15. > :04:21.The conviction of those men earlier this year for grooming and abusing

:04:22. > :04:26.young girls in Oxford rocked the whole committee. The abuse was

:04:27. > :04:32.horrific and went on for a number of years, despite some big is coming

:04:33. > :04:39.into contact with agencies. There is a review of some of the authorities

:04:40. > :04:47.to see what they could or should have done which is due to be

:04:48. > :04:50.published at the end of next year. In the meantime, Oxfordshire County

:04:51. > :04:54.Council says today it recognises there was a prevailing culture

:04:55. > :04:59.amongst the council and others, which meant they did not understand

:05:00. > :05:04.the grooming process. They did not recognise the full scale of the

:05:05. > :05:10.sexual abuse. The council said today that is changing. What we didn't see

:05:11. > :05:13.was the fact that these children who were put in exploitative

:05:14. > :05:19.situations, what we have learned is to be more aware of that. We have

:05:20. > :05:24.put huge amount of training into front`line staff, and most important

:05:25. > :05:28.of all, we have tried to begin to change some of our attitudes and

:05:29. > :05:35.values. Today, the council set out some of the work it has done. It is

:05:36. > :05:41.setting up a new safeguarding cup where agencies can be raised so they

:05:42. > :05:44.can better work together. It is investing in children's services,

:05:45. > :05:48.hiring 21 new front line child protection officers. The question

:05:49. > :05:53.is, is this all sustainable? We have got a different way of looking at

:05:54. > :05:56.things, a different way of making assessments about young people. It

:05:57. > :06:01.doesn't mean nothing like this will ever happen again, but children are

:06:02. > :06:09.safer in Oxfordshire than they were in the past. The work of the council

:06:10. > :06:13.has broadly been welcomed, but many say more needs to be done at a

:06:14. > :06:16.national level, right across the criminal justice system to ensure

:06:17. > :06:18.that victims of this type of crime are listened to, supported and

:06:19. > :06:22.believed. More than 300 people have turned out

:06:23. > :06:24.to a public meeting against developments in the Botley area of

:06:25. > :06:28.West Oxford. They've raised more than ?2,000 to start a campaign

:06:29. > :06:30.opposing plans for a new cinema, shops and restaurants. The

:06:31. > :06:33.developers, Doric Properties, say 70% of local people do their

:06:34. > :06:38.shopping elsewhere and the improvements are designed to bring

:06:39. > :06:45.them back. We are a strong community and we are not going to lie down and

:06:46. > :06:49.the bulldozed. It is far too big a development. Doric Properties have

:06:50. > :06:54.plans which will destroy the character of the area. A lot of

:06:55. > :06:59.people have unity, compared to when I was a child. I think that we risk

:07:00. > :07:06.losing that completely. Now, you know how irritating it can

:07:07. > :07:11.be. You're on your way to work, you get caught in traffic and, before

:07:12. > :07:14.you know where you are, you're late for that important meeting. Well, a

:07:15. > :07:17.group of business leaders says Oxford's congestion problems will

:07:18. > :07:20.start damaging the local economy unless something is done about it.

:07:21. > :07:24.The Local Enterprise Partnership claims the roads and public

:07:25. > :07:26.transport aren't up to the job and need investment, as Tom Turrell

:07:27. > :07:29.reports. Bumper to bumper. The Oxford traffic

:07:30. > :07:32.grinds to a halt...again. For kitchen salesman Neil, it's nothing

:07:33. > :07:39.new. He spends hours every week waiting for the car in front to

:07:40. > :07:47.start moving again. If you have got a delivery to do to a builder and to

:07:48. > :07:55.drop some goods off, he is expecting new in 20 minutes, you set off on

:07:56. > :08:01.the ring road no problem, you get halfway up the ring road, a car has

:08:02. > :08:04.broken down in a lane, and then the traffic starts backing up. What was

:08:05. > :08:07.a 20 minute journey suddenly becomes a 40 minute journey.

:08:08. > :08:11.Now, an influential group run by businesses leaders says it's hitting

:08:12. > :08:14.the local economy hard, with firms having to fork out for extra fuel

:08:15. > :08:19.costs, staff lateness and wasted time delivering goods. A local

:08:20. > :08:25.haulage business says that costs them something in the region of

:08:26. > :08:30.hundred pounds and our visit in traffic. That is a huge cost to

:08:31. > :08:33.their business. The problem with Oxford's roads is that a relatively

:08:34. > :08:39.small car crash, like the one there, can very quickly lead to tailbacks

:08:40. > :08:45.like this. So, who's to blame? The County Council says there are things

:08:46. > :08:50.to do, but in the end... We have two bid from central government for the

:08:51. > :08:55.most strategic things. The amount of money we have at the moment can only

:08:56. > :08:58.adjust the system we have already got. Anything more fundamental

:08:59. > :09:01.requires government money. If Oxfordshire's economy isn't going to

:09:02. > :09:11.grind to halt it sounds like investment from somewhere is needed.

:09:12. > :09:15.The word "Selfie" has been named as the "word of 2013" by the editors of

:09:16. > :09:20.the Oxford Dictionaries. For those of you who aren't familiar with the

:09:21. > :09:24.term, let me show you what a selfie is. You take a smartphone like this,

:09:25. > :09:31.aim it at yourself, and there you go! As you can see, celebrities all

:09:32. > :09:35.over the world have been getting involved in taking selfies. The idea

:09:36. > :09:42.is the pictures are then uploaded onto social media websites. We can

:09:43. > :09:50.find an example of a selfie in 2002, so it is a long time for a new

:09:51. > :09:57.word. It has come to prominence in the last year or so because more

:09:58. > :10:01.people have the technology to be able to take them, upload them to

:10:02. > :10:04.social networking sites. After all, a selfie is only

:10:05. > :10:12.want to see horrendous situations any more. I would rather die. Still

:10:13. > :10:17.to come, the weather details and here it is Tony. We hear from Kevin

:10:18. > :10:20.Pietersen, an upset in the FA Cup and we meet the first of the

:10:21. > :10:32.finalists for this years sports unsung hero. Child poverty ` it may

:10:33. > :10:35.sound like a third world problem but it's here on our doorstep in greater

:10:36. > :10:38.numbers than you may realise. According to Government figures, one

:10:39. > :10:42.in five children in Reading is living in poverty. That's around the

:10:43. > :10:44.national average but double the rate in neighbouring West Berkshire. In

:10:45. > :10:47.Portsmouth and Southampton, the figure is around one in four

:10:48. > :10:51.children.A conference is underway in Reading right now to discuss the

:10:52. > :11:03.issue and what can be done to help tackle poverty. Our reporter Briony

:11:04. > :11:07.Leyland is there. Reading is seen as a prosperous place and it is one of

:11:08. > :11:12.the top economies in the UK that there are pockets of deprivation.

:11:13. > :11:17.The conference on poverty is being hosted by the Labour`controlled

:11:18. > :11:22.council in Reading, it points to underlying reasons behind poverty in

:11:23. > :11:26.the town, such as reduced public expenditure, welfare reforms and

:11:27. > :11:30.other issues which they will talk about tonight. The idea is to come

:11:31. > :11:36.up with a strategy to help those struggling to make ends meet.

:11:37. > :11:41.Catherine Cancer self lucky to have a job she loves running a community

:11:42. > :11:46.craft project. A single mother, she gets help with council tax but less

:11:47. > :11:52.than last year. She doesn't consider herself poor but nothing in her

:11:53. > :11:57.budget can be taken for granted. You are counting every penny. Every

:11:58. > :12:03.penny, every week, we work out what we can spend and what it will go on.

:12:04. > :12:08.Do you see first hand there is real poverty? Yes, real poverty in

:12:09. > :12:13.Reading. On Sunday, a lady ate with me with her children. She had

:12:14. > :12:21.nothing in the house. Every week, the food bank is helping a hundred

:12:22. > :12:24.of those most in need. Representatives from here will be at

:12:25. > :12:29.the Council conference about poverty. The council believes

:12:30. > :12:34.changes to benefit one reason why it there is hardship across all age

:12:35. > :12:39.groups. Households with claimants will lose an average of ?1600 a year

:12:40. > :12:44.by the time the welfare reforms are bedded in. That is higher than the

:12:45. > :12:49.big cities. That is because Reading will be badly hit by the housing

:12:50. > :12:52.benefit changes. Nobody disagrees people should be helped into better

:12:53. > :12:58.paid jobs so they can be self`sufficient. But there are still

:12:59. > :13:04.many people who cannot access better paid jobs or who simply cannot work

:13:05. > :13:08.because they have an illness or disability. I understand the squeeze

:13:09. > :13:14.but we have tried to do that by freezing council tax and petrol duty

:13:15. > :13:19.and trying to make sure people are able to live a pretty decent life

:13:20. > :13:23.despite the difficult times. Some people questioned if a conference on

:13:24. > :13:29.poverty could change anything but many agreed to the problem is real.

:13:30. > :13:35.A lots of people are struggling and a few friends cannot make ends meet.

:13:36. > :13:40.It is tough. There is a lot of petty and people do not know about it.

:13:41. > :13:45.Many people are quite proud so they will not let people know they are

:13:46. > :13:49.struggling. So, will the conference turn out to be more than a talking

:13:50. > :13:57.shop? Reading council is making changes, solar panels on some houses

:13:58. > :14:01.and helping some people affected by fuel poverty and signing up to the

:14:02. > :14:04.living wage and it wants others to do the same. Business people and

:14:05. > :14:09.politicians tonight are being invited to make pledges to fight

:14:10. > :14:16.poverty, many will be watching to see the pledges ten into actions.

:14:17. > :14:18.The last of the protesters at an anti`fracking camp in West Sussex

:14:19. > :14:22.have been evicted. There's been a camp at the Cuadrilla test drilling

:14:23. > :14:25.site in Balcombe since August but this morning bailiffs moved in to

:14:26. > :14:28.enforce an eviction order granted to the County Council. Campaigners who

:14:29. > :14:34.had pitched their tents outside the County Council offices in Chichester

:14:35. > :14:37.were also moved on. Medical technology is constantly

:14:38. > :14:40.advancing and surgical robots are increasingly being seen in operating

:14:41. > :14:44.theatres. The Royal Bournemouth Hospital has just got a Da Vinci

:14:45. > :14:48.robot which will be used to treat cancer. What's perhaps more unusual

:14:49. > :14:51.is that it's been funded through the hospitals private work for the

:14:52. > :15:01.benefit of NHS patients. Laura Trant reports.

:15:02. > :15:07.It has the mission of precision and this robot is revolutionising cancer

:15:08. > :15:10.surgery. This machine can get into parts of the body which are

:15:11. > :15:14.difficult to get to because of the size of the camera, 12 millimetres

:15:15. > :15:19.and the instruments which are fine, there's enough space to get all of

:15:20. > :15:24.that close to the site without the surge in doing that. The dexterity

:15:25. > :15:29.means there are fewer side effects are patients, no scarring and

:15:30. > :15:35.bruising. Philip returned to the hospital where he had his surgery on

:15:36. > :15:41.his prostrate. The type of operation I had needed precise work. It was a

:15:42. > :15:47.bit of trepidation but these guys have done a fantastic job. The

:15:48. > :15:52.profits generated from private practices are reinvested back into

:15:53. > :15:58.the NHS through a charity which was specially set up and that is how the

:15:59. > :16:02.robot which cost ?1.5 million was funded. Some other areas of the

:16:03. > :16:07.country already use these robots, the Royal Berkshire Hospital have

:16:08. > :16:10.had one for the last few years, the Queen Alexandra is raising money to

:16:11. > :16:16.fund its robot and they have until April to make the first payment of

:16:17. > :16:23.half ?1 million. It is an expensive piece of kit but experts say it

:16:24. > :16:26.saves costs in after`care. Here's another high tech development `

:16:27. > :16:29.Surrey County Council is using a type of superglue for faster and

:16:30. > :16:33.cheaper road repairs. Instead of patching over holes, the existing

:16:34. > :16:36.road surface can be mixed with the glue additive and recycled to lay a

:16:37. > :16:39.stronger road. It's hoped it could save councils and taxpayers millions

:16:40. > :16:48.of pounds. Lucinda Adam has been finding out more.

:16:49. > :16:53.They are the bane of every driver is life but potholes also cost the

:16:54. > :16:57.council millions in repairs and compensation. In Surrey, a

:16:58. > :17:01.revolutionary new blue additive is being used, mixed into the road

:17:02. > :17:09.services and they are recycling and relaying from a new base. This road

:17:10. > :17:14.has got recycled existing materials, fewer lorry movements,

:17:15. > :17:19.fewer materials need to be brought in and taken off site and we get a

:17:20. > :17:24.better solution, quicker and cheaper. By planning repairs over

:17:25. > :17:30.five years instead of one year, it is estimated the technique could

:17:31. > :17:34.cost `` save ?2 million a year. This system isn't about patching up

:17:35. > :17:39.potholes but resurfacing the whole road so it is more resistant and it

:17:40. > :17:45.is guaranteed to last a 10`year. It is a good idea and an outcome of the

:17:46. > :17:50.review back last year. It is a good idea, there are many new techniques

:17:51. > :17:54.out there and the idea is to learn from best practice and spread the

:17:55. > :17:59.ideas. Fixing with glue may sound crazy but it should work and

:18:00. > :18:02.hopefully hold together. If you potholes appear, it is the

:18:03. > :18:14.contractors and not the taxpayer who picks up the bill. I was worried

:18:15. > :18:18.about superglue on roads! Stick with it!

:18:19. > :18:28.Tony Husband is here, sharp like a tack. All this week we're meeting

:18:29. > :18:33.the three finalists from the region. It is the 10th year of the award. We

:18:34. > :18:39.look for people who have not had the spotlight shone on them. But they

:18:40. > :18:45.have helped people in clubs. And many of the Olympic stars as well.

:18:46. > :18:48.These people contribute a lot. The finalists we will meet. The winner

:18:49. > :18:52.goes forward to the BBC Sports personality of the year show which

:18:53. > :18:55.is being staged in Leeds. We start tonight with Colin Williams from the

:18:56. > :18:58.heart of Portsmouth boxing club. Colin was a boxer himself, overcame

:18:59. > :19:07.cancer and has devoted much of his life to giving young people an

:19:08. > :19:14.opportunity in the sport. Rear hand over the top. For 30 years, boxing

:19:15. > :19:19.has been Colin's life. He has gone from a boxer himself to a coach. In

:19:20. > :19:34.and out of the ring, he has inspired young people.

:19:35. > :19:40.This contribution is an important envoy in the crowd. His dedication

:19:41. > :19:46.is in part his way of giving something back to a community which

:19:47. > :19:50.helped him to serious illness. Boxing clubs helped him when he was

:19:51. > :19:55.ill, to get money for with illness. He think he owes back to boxing. He

:19:56. > :20:00.does that to helping kids like me. He helped found a boxing club from

:20:01. > :20:08.humble beginnings to a regional powerhouse. We just had three kids

:20:09. > :20:12.to start with, now we have 60. Colin isn't just a coach, he has mentor to

:20:13. > :20:18.many children changing lives for the better. You can take kids off the

:20:19. > :20:25.street with nothing, we make them feel important and feel like

:20:26. > :20:31.somebody. Even though we try to train in the gym, training a five or

:20:32. > :20:35.six enrolled if the same as a champion. Just see the kids train

:20:36. > :20:43.and achieve things means everything to me. Colin Williams and Stroh

:20:44. > :20:49.night we will meet another finalist for this year. Conference North side

:20:50. > :20:53.Brackley Town caused a major upset last night as they booked their

:20:54. > :20:56.place in the second round of the FA Cup. Jon Brady's team beat League

:20:57. > :21:00.One Gillingham 1`nil in their first round replay, to reach round two for

:21:01. > :21:02.the first time in their 123 year history. They'll face Macclesfield

:21:03. > :21:05.in the next round. Southampton midfielder Adam Lallana

:21:06. > :21:08.starts for England tonight against Germany at Wembley with the words of

:21:09. > :21:11.skipper Steven Gerrard sure to resonate. Gerrard says it's now or

:21:12. > :21:14.never for some players to impress manager Roy Hodgson. England have

:21:15. > :21:17.only one more friendly scheduled before the world cup squad is picked

:21:18. > :21:21.next year. Lallana starts tonight, club mates Jay Rodriguez and Rickie

:21:22. > :21:29.Lambert are on the bench and will hope to feature.

:21:30. > :21:33.Good luck to them. Surrey batsman Kevin Pietersen has admitted he can

:21:34. > :21:35.come across as "arrogant" as he approaches his 100th test for

:21:36. > :21:39.England Pietersen who played for Hampshire before his move to the

:21:40. > :21:42.Oval was speaking ahead of the Ashes series which starts in Australia on

:21:43. > :21:46.Thursday, or late tomorrow night UK time. After an eventful career he's

:21:47. > :21:56.also aiming to feature in the 2015 world cup.

:21:57. > :21:59.I can't help people thinking that I am arrogant. A lot of great

:22:00. > :22:04.sportsmen have that bit of something to them that makes them be the best

:22:05. > :22:09.and wake up every day wanting to improve. I call it confidence, we

:22:10. > :22:15.all make mistakes in our lives. And that is where you learn the most. If

:22:16. > :22:21.I had not learned, I would not be on my hundredth test match. It starts

:22:22. > :22:27.in Brisbane. Radio at the ready. It starts at 11:30pm. Randomly wake up

:22:28. > :22:35.in the night. That is my winter. You will enjoy

:22:36. > :22:40.that. If you are a man of the cloth, you believe in divine intervention.

:22:41. > :22:43.A vicar from West Sussex has been praised for helping deliver his

:22:44. > :22:49.daughter's baby ` in a hospital car park. The vicar has been praised for

:22:50. > :22:57.bringing his granddaughter into the world after not making it in time to

:22:58. > :23:00.the maternity unit in Chichester. Eric and Rachel travelled thousands

:23:01. > :23:07.of miles from Uganda say their second Giles could be born in

:23:08. > :23:12.Sussex. In the end, they fell a few yards short. On leaving the family

:23:13. > :23:17.home in Southbourne, it was apparent things were going quicker than

:23:18. > :23:23.expected. Getting into the car, I was needing to push and as soon as

:23:24. > :23:32.we reached, the baby came out very quickly. It was great that dad was

:23:33. > :23:37.there and Eric to help. Clive Jenkins is more used to christenings

:23:38. > :23:41.and birds. Quite surprised when I went round to see a little head

:23:42. > :23:46.appearing and then great joy when she came and popped out. Of

:23:47. > :23:53.everything that goes through your mind, what do you do when the child

:23:54. > :23:58.cries, to start the breeding but Lydia cried straightaway and I

:23:59. > :24:02.wrapped up in a towel and passed her two month. Baby Lydia came into the

:24:03. > :24:06.world in the back of the family car on double yellow lines outside the

:24:07. > :24:13.hospital. Staff were impressed with the vicar. I believe he did very

:24:14. > :24:18.well. Rachel was grateful to her father that everything went well and

:24:19. > :24:22.the staff, we are trained for that eventuality but it doesn't happen

:24:23. > :24:27.very often. Amazing to think they travelled from Uganda to be here for

:24:28. > :24:34.the birth for their second child and we got so close but we were too far

:24:35. > :24:40.away. Rachel and Eric will return home to Uganda in the New Year and

:24:41. > :24:50.have a baby sister and they will make sure Clive is on hand again

:24:51. > :24:55.just in case. That baby does not know what is going on.

:24:56. > :25:00.Congratulations to you all. On to the weather. The weather has

:25:01. > :25:05.changed. It is getting bitterly cold. Yes, we are looking at

:25:06. > :25:08.overnight frost, cold starts and temperatures struggling. Frozen dew

:25:09. > :25:11.drops captured by Lucie Aggas in Swanage in Dorset. Roy Venkatesh

:25:12. > :25:13.captured the sun rising at Stonehenge on what was a cold crisp

:25:14. > :25:16.morning. And vibrant colours on this Acer

:25:17. > :25:26.tree captured at Winkworth Arboretum in Godalming by Raymond Slack. Lots

:25:27. > :25:32.of sunshine today but a cold and frosty nights to come. The start of

:25:33. > :25:36.the night is cold and frosty with increasing temperatures and cloud.

:25:37. > :25:42.Temperatures will recover but at first they will fall away rapidly

:25:43. > :25:49.especially in the South East. We are looking at Lowes of `1. In

:25:50. > :25:54.Oxfordshire and Berkshire, maybe down to `3. A chilly and frosty

:25:55. > :26:00.start the sums right morning, increasing cloud, the rain band

:26:01. > :26:06.moving in so fairly light and patchy at first but increasing in

:26:07. > :26:12.intensity. The potential for wintry showers, rain, sleet and hail.

:26:13. > :26:17.Temperatures up to six or 10 Celsius. A brisk westerly wind on

:26:18. > :26:21.the south coast. The risk of wintry showers tomorrow, drifting in from

:26:22. > :26:27.the north`west. A really strong winds with rain, further showers,

:26:28. > :26:33.clear skies and the wind falling light so temperatures falling away.

:26:34. > :26:39.The risk of wintry showers and particularly the risk of ice in the

:26:40. > :26:43.east with temperatures falling away. Warmer conditions further south and

:26:44. > :26:50.west. The rain will finally clear Thursday morning, daytime, showers,

:26:51. > :26:54.high pressure building from the Atlantic. More settled in the course

:26:55. > :26:59.of Thursday, the best of the brightness in the West. The wind

:27:00. > :27:04.changes direction, coming in from the North East, that will bring in

:27:05. > :27:10.more cloud for the East, the West is best for sunny spells. The Outlook:

:27:11. > :27:19.A wet start to write, the rain it could be heavy with thunder. The

:27:20. > :27:23.wind is brisk on the south coast, some showers and a brisk north

:27:24. > :27:32.easterly winds. A decent day on Friday at more cloud on Saturday.

:27:33. > :27:44.Wintry showers. A snowflake or hail. I don't need my skis just yet.

:27:45. > :27:48.More later. Goodbye. Enjoy your evening. Good night. Good night.
