:00:00. > :00:08.from Oxford. In tonight's programme. A garden city in their back yard?
:00:09. > :00:17.Hundreds of people outline their concerns about large scale house
:00:18. > :00:21.building. It is Armageddon. Also, not a rapist. The Swindon Town

:00:32. > :00:32.forecast. Plus, northern lights in thd south,
:00:33. > :00:48.did you see them? People in Princes Risborough fear
:00:49. > :00:52.growing pressure to build more homes in the area could trigger the
:00:53. > :00:57.creation of a garden city on their doorstep. Wycombe District Council
:00:58. > :01:01.has been told it must allow for 7,000 homes than originally expected
:01:02. > :01:05.in the next 15 years in orddr to meet government targets. Th`t takes
:01:06. > :01:12.the total requirement to 118,00 new homes by 2030. With most of the
:01:13. > :01:14.district in the green belt, or in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
:01:15. > :01:19.land north`west of Princes Risborough looks likely to bear the
:01:20. > :01:21.brunt of any major developmdnt. Last night, hundreds of people mdt to
:01:22. > :01:27.express their concerns. Honor Somerset reports.
:01:28. > :01:31.There was standing room onlx at Princes Risborough communitx centre.
:01:32. > :01:34.People keen to quiz council planners about their proposals for the
:01:35. > :01:38.future. Around 8,000 people live in the town now and last night there
:01:39. > :01:50.was dismay at the prospect of another 2,500. I am hoping that 2500
:01:51. > :01:55.quoted this side of the election, and on the other side, that figure
:01:56. > :01:58.might become higher, and we become a dumping ground for future
:01:59. > :02:02.allocations of government housing. But could potentially make ts a
:02:03. > :02:08.garden city development, and we could carry on growing for dver
:02:09. > :02:12.Most of Wycombe district as green belt, or an area of outstanding
:02:13. > :02:21.beauty, and cannot be built on. This is a `` this area is a remarkable
:02:22. > :02:26.development, and the council says it is inevitable. If we planet, we can
:02:27. > :02:30.get the right schools, the surgeries, the roads and thd quality
:02:31. > :02:36.housing that people need, so that when people are here, they will
:02:37. > :02:39.think, this is a good thing. And the planners say they have no intention
:02:40. > :02:43.of turning a market town into a city.
:02:44. > :02:46.There have been rumours recdntly about new garden cities to help ease
:02:47. > :02:53.the housing situation, but little certainty. Our Political Reporter
:02:54. > :02:57.Helen Catt is here. In this context, what is a garden chty? New
:02:58. > :03:00.towns, pioneered at the beghnning of the last century. Like Welwxn Garden
:03:01. > :03:04.City, Letchworth, which werd planned in their entirety to providd housing
:03:05. > :03:06.but sort of in harmony with the countryside. Now politicians and
:03:07. > :03:14.national organisations are keen on bringing that idea up to date.
:03:15. > :03:19.We need to move away from the argument that the countryside should
:03:20. > :03:23.either be protected or paved over. We should have a new vision`ry
:03:24. > :03:27.spirit of the garden city, so we get the best of the natural envhronment
:03:28. > :03:31.but also great somewhere th`t is beautiful and inclusive. Whx are we
:03:32. > :03:34.starting to hear so much about these garden cities now? David Caleron
:03:35. > :03:38.started it all off. In a spdech two years ago, he said the government
:03:39. > :03:41.would consult on how to apply the principles of garden cities in areas
:03:42. > :03:45.where lots of people wanted to live. This plan has the support of all
:03:46. > :03:48.three of the main political parties. Sir Tony Baldry, the MP for Banbury,
:03:49. > :03:52.has even been calling for Bhcester to become one. Is there any reason
:03:53. > :03:56.for thinking that Buckinghalshire might be in line for one of these?
:03:57. > :03:59.Possibly. Late last year, the Liberal Democrats claimed the
:04:00. > :04:01.Conservatives were sitting on a secret report which recommended
:04:02. > :04:04.building two of these cities in Buckinghamshire and in Oxfordshire
:04:05. > :04:10.because they were worried it would upset Conservative voters. This has,
:04:11. > :04:13.of course, been denied. Just this week, though, Nick Clegg has weighed
:04:14. > :04:16.in. He's said the government is committed to publishing a prospectus
:04:17. > :04:21.on garden cities and he is absolutely determined it will do
:04:22. > :04:23.that. That could well tell the residents of Princes Risborough
:04:24. > :04:29.whether or not their fears `re justified. Thank you.
:04:30. > :04:32.A grieving widow says her htsband suffered serious failings in care,
:04:33. > :04:35.which she believes led to hhs death at Swindon's Great Western Hospital.
:04:36. > :04:38.Michael Edginton was origin`lly admitted with appendicitis, but went
:04:39. > :04:40.on to develop a series of other serious conditions, while bding

:04:57. > :05:00.Already a sick man, he spent the last few months of his life at the
:05:01. > :05:05.Great Western Hospital. She believes he suffered dehydration,
:05:06. > :05:16.malnutrition and at times, neglect. She now wants answers. Why did he
:05:17. > :05:21.end up with an amputated leg? His left leg was in plaster bec`use it
:05:22. > :05:26.was broken. I want to understand why, and how he got a broken leg.
:05:27. > :05:30.She says he went for periods without food and fluids when no one noticed.
:05:31. > :05:32.Some staff weren't aware th`t he was blind. And there were severd
:05:33. > :05:34.communication breakdowns between different departments about what
:05:35. > :05:39.treatment he needed. The falily say they were made to feel like they
:05:40. > :05:43.were a nuisance. We were told that we were basically hindering them
:05:44. > :05:46.doing their job, when, really, it was myself and my mum that were
:05:47. > :05:49.doing their job for them. Mhchael was admitted to the Great Wdstern
:05:50. > :05:53.Hospital in May last year whth appendicitis. He was discharged on
:05:54. > :05:57.July 24th, but six days latdr he was readmitted with what turned out to
:05:58. > :06:00.be an infection in his heel, which he'd sustained during his e`rlier
:06:01. > :06:03.hospital stay. In August, hd had part of his right heel removed. In
:06:04. > :06:07.September, an X`ray showed his left leg was broken in two places. In
:06:08. > :06:12.October, his right leg was `mputated below the knee. Michael died on 13th
:06:13. > :06:15.November last year. The hospital say they are sorry the quality of care
:06:16. > :06:25.provided to Mrs Edgington's husband didn't meet the high standards. They
:06:26. > :06:31.go on to say that nursing and medical staff were in contact with
:06:32. > :06:35.them during his care. They have apologised Mrs Edgington for not
:06:36. > :06:37.keeping her more informed, `nd they want to meet her to discuss her
:06:38. > :06:40.husband's care. An inquest jury has been he`ring
:06:41. > :06:43.further details about the circumstances of a man's de`th while
:06:44. > :06:46.on remand in Woodhill Prison. 30`year`old Kevin Scarlet h`d a
:06:47. > :06:50.history of self`harm and colplex mental health problems. He'd been
:06:51. > :06:55.receiving closer supervision by prison staff, but was found hanging
:06:56. > :06:59.in his cell in May last year. The inquest is expected to conclude on
:07:00. > :07:02.Monday. Lessons learned from the recent
:07:03. > :07:04.flooding will be discussed `t a gathering of hundreds of
:07:05. > :07:07.councillors, Environment Agdncy staff and emergency services
:07:08. > :07:11.officials. They're meeting tomorrow at Osney, at the heart of one of the
:07:12. > :07:15.areas of Oxford most severely affected. The aim is to gather
:07:16. > :07:18.information on the impact the floods have had, discuss the way the
:07:19. > :07:22.situation has been handled, and gather suggestions to improve flood
:07:23. > :07:28.prevention measures. It's ahead of a County Council organised Flood
:07:29. > :07:31.Summit planned for later in March. The Swindon Town footballer Nile
:07:32. > :07:35.Ranger has told a jury that he is not a rapist, and that he w`s
:07:36. > :07:38.shocked to be arrested and charged by police. He's denied forchng
:07:39. > :07:41.himself on a young woman who he d taken to a hotel while he w`s
:07:42. > :07:46.playing for Newcastle United. Adina Campbell has been following the case
:07:47. > :07:50.and joins me from our newsroom. Although he's been on the stand
:07:51. > :07:54.Nile Ranger has actually bedn seated in court because of a hamstring
:07:55. > :07:58.injury. That's the reason why he's been missing from recent gales with
:07:59. > :08:02.his current club Swindon. It's nothing to do with the trial under
:08:03. > :08:05.way in Newcastle. And it's worth remembering that Swindon Town was
:08:06. > :08:08.aware of these allegations when they signed him as a player back in
:08:09. > :08:13.August. Nile Ranger himself has always denied the charges. We have
:08:14. > :08:18.pictures here of him leaving court after his defence barrister began
:08:19. > :08:23.outlining its case. The charges relate to his time as a strhker with
:08:24. > :08:27.Newcastle United. He was arrested in January last year, after a woman
:08:28. > :08:31.told police she's been raped in a hotel in the city. She clails she
:08:32. > :08:35.woke up naked, and couldn't remember what had happened. But the
:08:36. > :08:39.footballer had then told her she needed to take the morning `fter
:08:40. > :08:43.pill. In court, Nile Ranger claimed both he and his alleged victim were
:08:44. > :08:47.very drunk on the night the assault was said to have taken placd. They'd
:08:48. > :08:51.been texting each other for some weeks before meeting up in ` bar,
:08:52. > :08:55.and later taking a taxi to the hotel, which is owned by ond of the
:08:56. > :09:00.player's friends. Although drunk, he claims she knew exactly what she was
:09:01. > :09:03.doing. He also told the court the rape allegations effectivelx led to
:09:04. > :09:12.the termination of his contract with Newcastle. The trial will continue
:09:13. > :09:17.next week. Thank you.
:09:18. > :09:21.Meanwhile, Chiltern Railways has signed a deal to acquire additional
:09:22. > :09:24.trains, which will come into service in time for the opening of the new
:09:25. > :09:26.line between Oxford and London Marylebone next year. There'll be
:09:27. > :09:30.nine refurbished, two`carri`ge trains, totalling 1,100 seats, which
:09:31. > :09:32.the company says will help cope with an anticipated growth in deland
:09:33. > :09:35.They'll operate initially from the new Oxford Parkway station before
:09:36. > :09:37.new services are introduced from the city centre.
:09:38. > :09:41.February's just about over. Tomorrow is the start of the month of the mad
:09:42. > :09:45.March hare. And some especi`lly crazy specimens are popping up
:09:46. > :09:48.throughout Cirencester. 35 five giant fibreglass hares, manx wildly
:09:49. > :09:53.decorated by local groups and businesses, are going on show as
:09:54. > :09:55.part of a colourful arts tr`il. As Michelle Ruminski reports, ht's all
:09:56. > :09:58.to help the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
:09:59. > :10:01.So, this hare here is one of 35 that will be springing up all ovdr
:10:02. > :10:05.Cirencester this March. Let's find out a little bit more about this
:10:06. > :10:08.project. I'm joined here by Florence Beetlestone, who's the projdct
:10:09. > :10:14.manager, and also by Emma S`nds who many of you will know from the soap
:10:15. > :10:20.opera Dynasty. First of all, why a hare? Well, the hare is verx much an
:10:21. > :10:24.unwritten symbol of Cirencester We found the first Roman hare losaic in
:10:25. > :10:29.the Beeches, in town and it's now in an award`winning museum. And so it
:10:30. > :10:34.became very much a symbol ever since. And what about this one? Who
:10:35. > :10:37.has designed this one? This particular one was designed by Dan
:10:38. > :10:46.Stirling. We've got another two artists on board. `` we havd got a
:10:47. > :10:49.hold team of artists. This one is just a prototype, the others will be
:10:50. > :10:52.unveiled in March. And thesd are all being auctioned off for charity
:10:53. > :10:55.what are you raising money for? We're trying to raise over ?50, 00
:10:56. > :10:58.for Gloucestershire Wildlifd Trust. Because we're working with the
:10:59. > :11:02.councillors will to build the Green Hare Churn Walkway. I had to think
:11:03. > :11:07.about that for a minute! Emla, you've throw your weight into this
:11:08. > :11:11.project. Why are you taking part? They asked me to do it. Which is a
:11:12. > :11:15.great honour. Very kindly, ly hare has been sponsored by the Ndw Kings
:11:16. > :11:20.Head Hotel, which is very exciting. And it's something that's vdry easy
:11:21. > :11:24.to support. I know it is gohng to take a while to decorate mine, so
:11:25. > :11:27.I'll be stuck in the warmth of my kitchen for the next couple of
:11:28. > :11:31.months doing that. Let's hope the uptake of these will be as lad as a
:11:32. > :11:43.March hare when they're sold at auction. It's like masquerade from
:11:44. > :11:48.the late 1970s. Well, great views of the Northern whites. Some of you
:11:49. > :11:50.have been sending in your photographs, we will be takhng a
:11:51. > :11:53.look at them during the weather forecast.
:11:54. > :11:56.That's all from me for the loment. I'll have the headlines at 8pm, and
:11:57. > :11:58.a full bulletin at 10:25pm. Now more of today's stories with Sally

:12:09. > :12:11.A man has denied murdering ` teenage girl who died from multiple stab
:12:12. > :12:15.wound. Linda Lietaviete who was originally from Latvia was treated

:13:37. > :13:40.is working with organisations to use its money in the best way. What we
:13:41. > :13:45.have got to try to do is to ensure that we still provide as colplete a
:13:46. > :13:50.service as we have done previously, but we are going to have to look at
:13:51. > :13:57.savings of one sort of another. We are looking for a 9% reducthon of
:13:58. > :14:01.the year 2015/16 I, I would hope that the actual breaks themselves
:14:02. > :14:07.are less than that. The Hampshire parent career network
:14:08. > :14:14.is one group helping the cotncil decide where the axe should fall. It
:14:15. > :14:18.is concerned about the impact. If they are taken away there would be a
:14:19. > :14:21.lot of children who were no longer able to undertake activities they
:14:22. > :14:25.are able to do currently, and I also think that the families would
:14:26. > :14:28.potentially be pushed furthdr into crisis, because they wouldn't have
:14:29. > :14:32.the break from caring that hs so vital to them.
:14:33. > :14:37.Hampshire County Council has started a three month consultation, into how

:14:46. > :15:00.Friday night sport. Football tonight? I feel like we
:15:01. > :15:03.should be talking about Portsmouth? Southampton will be aiming for their
:15:04. > :15:07.fourth consecutive win over Liverpool at St Mary's tomorrow
:15:08. > :15:10.night. Saints are a club on a high, after four of their players were
:15:11. > :15:17.named in Roy Hodgson's squad for next Wednesday's match against
:15:18. > :15:22.Denmark. With Southampton's quartet away from the cameras it was left to
:15:23. > :15:27.the manager to heap praise on their selection. Notably Luke Shaw who
:15:28. > :15:30.received his first call`up to a full England squad.
:15:31. > :15:35.TRANSLATION: It is a player that is well`known, we know of his puality,
:15:36. > :15:42.it is clear if Roy Hodgson has picked him, it is because kneels he
:15:43. > :15:45.can do well with the side, he can complement other players. So it is a
:15:46. > :15:50.positive thing for him and for the English accomplish national side.
:15:51. > :15:55.The manager admitted it was a boost the players had an extra incentive
:15:56. > :16:00.for the remainder of their season. A place with Roy Hodgson's men in Rio.
:16:01. > :16:04.He says it is a challenge for them too When you see big clubs like
:16:05. > :16:07.Manchester United, Manchestdr City they have players who are used to
:16:08. > :16:11.playing with the national shde. You can almost see the players that are
:16:12. > :16:15.used to playing with the international scene take it like a
:16:16. > :16:20.resting period, a psychologhcal and physical resting period, whdther
:16:21. > :16:25.that is for us, a player like Luke Shaw who gets called up for the
:16:26. > :16:31.first time that can demand lore gin from him. Saints host Liverpool
:16:32. > :16:36.tomorrow. Out of the cup in mid`table safety the manager is
:16:37. > :16:42.adamant there is plenty to play for. I don't know the season is over I
:16:43. > :16:46.disagree with that. We have the motivation to recover. Saints won at
:16:47. > :16:53.Liverpool earlier, doing thd double would defend on stopping thd likes
:16:54. > :16:57.of Daniel Sturridge and Suarez. Luke schueb up against Suardz. In

:18:26. > :18:29.heavily defended Western Front. David Allard has been finding out
:18:30. > :18:30.how the ingenuity of the OS staff became one of our most powerful
:18:31. > :18:56.weapons. In this war the old saying held
:18:57. > :19:01.true. No your enemy. It was vital to map the area behind enemy lhne, and
:19:02. > :19:05.aeroplanes provided the answer. They had only been round a few ydars but
:19:06. > :19:09.photographs taken from the `ir could capture the crucial details needed
:19:10. > :19:13.for military maps. With cameras fixed to their plane,
:19:14. > :19:18.the brave pilots of the roy`l flying corps took to the skies over enemy
:19:19. > :19:24.territory. The pictures thex took of roads, fields and trenches gave the
:19:25. > :19:27.map makers a whole new perspective. Another innovation was flash
:19:28. > :19:32.spotting. Watching for artillery fire and plotting the origin and a
:19:33. > :19:37.major breakthrough came with sound ranging, using the sound of a gun to
:19:38. > :19:41.locate its position. It was practises on Salisbury Plain.
:19:42. > :19:45.Microphones were placed in known positions when a gun is firdd, the
:19:46. > :19:50.sound arrives at the microphones at different times. With a bit of math,
:19:51. > :19:55.you can work out the exact position of the artillery.
:19:56. > :20:00.All that data fed into the laps created by staff from thes or o oven
:20:01. > :20:04.working at the front line. @ far cry from their offices at home hn
:20:05. > :20:07.Southampton. `` from the Ordnance Survey. They were staffed from
:20:08. > :20:11.officers is and men from thd royal engineers burr they were basically
:20:12. > :20:17.had the management role, thdre was a large body of civilian staff who
:20:18. > :20:22.worked at Ordnance Survey, but they were the cartographers and printers
:20:23. > :20:26.and provided support. So wh`t does this show? It is an interesting
:20:27. > :20:29.photograph. What you are looking at are the people who are mannhng the
:20:30. > :20:34.printing presses, the women, there was a large influx of femald staff
:20:35. > :20:39.into Ordnance Survey, many of them went over to the overseas branch in
:20:40. > :20:47.northern France. One of those women was Mrs Laden who recorded her
:20:48. > :20:50.memories. . I was 22 when I went to France. We were eight kilomdtres
:20:51. > :20:55.from the firing line. I worked on the machine, they used to do 1, 00
:20:56. > :20:59.maps an hour. We weren't allowed to get down, because we had to work all
:21:00. > :21:03.the time until somebody camd to relieve us.
:21:04. > :21:07.Today, the Ordnance Survey has relocated to a new billing hn
:21:08. > :21:12.Southampton. Aerial photogr`phy is still a powerful tool in map making,
:21:13. > :21:17.today the Ordnance Survey uses `D images but the principle is firmly
:21:18. > :21:23.rooted in techniques learned a century ago on the Western Front.
:21:24. > :21:27.This man has written a book about mapping the First World War and has
:21:28. > :21:30.a large collection of maps `nd other artefacts I have brought a few
:21:31. > :21:34.things. At school I was intdrested in the First World War and lapping,
:21:35. > :21:39.so it is something that has dropped since then. There is a rangd of
:21:40. > :21:43.different artillery maps prhnted by the Ordnance Survey. That photograph
:21:44. > :21:48.is taken with snow on the ground. The trenches show up incredhbly
:21:49. > :21:56.well, so that is perfect for mapping.
:21:57. > :21:59.Harold winter bottom was, this photo shows him at work in his office on
:22:00. > :22:03.the Western Front he was an important man in setting up the
:22:04. > :22:08.whole organisation in Francd, that grew from one officer and a few men
:22:09. > :22:12.into a 5,000`strong organis`tion by the end of the war.
:22:13. > :22:16.That is a map which has secret overprinted on it. It's a trench map
:22:17. > :22:21.of the Somme or part of the Sombatle field. You have the date at the
:22:22. > :22:25.bottom. 2nd June. This was lap used at the front. The German trdnches
:22:26. > :22:30.are plotted from aerial photographs in red, and the British front line
:22:31. > :22:34.in blue. And thend on top of that you have this `` then on top of that
:22:35. > :22:40.you have an an interesting manuscript edition which is to do
:22:41. > :22:44.with the artillery support, British artillery there.
:22:45. > :22:49.And also French artillery. Ht is in such good condition. It is presented
:22:50. > :22:53.on this very good quality lhnen backed paper, which was deshgned to
:22:54. > :22:58.stand up to a lot of usage hn the field and you can put it in your
:22:59. > :23:03.pocket. Take it out. Use it. It is remarkable. One of more than 25
:23:04. > :23:09.million maps produced during the First World War. Thanks to the
:23:10. > :23:13.skills use of trusted tools like these items. But as we have seen,
:23:14. > :23:19.the map makers from Southampton had mastered new techniques, and that
:23:20. > :23:23.gave the military a tactical edge. These people were pioneer, they were
:23:24. > :23:28.very inventive and had great creativity. At the end of the day
:23:29. > :23:32.they were on the front line and they put their lives on the line. Today,
:23:33. > :23:40.Ordnance Survey head quarter, there is is a role of honour with 67 names
:23:41. > :23:43.that proves that very fact. You have been getting in totch to
:23:44. > :23:48.tell us how much you have bden enjoying the films we have put out.
:23:49. > :23:52.There are of course pun hundreds of stories in the World War Ond At Home
:23:53. > :23:58.series. If you want to find out mord go to
:23:59. > :24:03.the website. Follow the links, if you want to see
:24:04. > :24:05.any of the films that we have run this week, we have put them online
:24:06. > :24:17.for you. On to the weather now. Did xou sigh
:24:18. > :24:21.it? I didn't. Everyone is t`lking the about it today. Did you see it?
:24:22. > :24:24.This is the our our `` Aurora Borealis or northern lights.
:24:25. > :24:29.Normally you see them areas north of the UK. But they saw them as far
:24:30. > :24:35.south as the Channel Islands. I had no idea. What time was this? Round
:24:36. > :24:42.10pm. Mainly over hill top `reas, take a look at this.
:24:43. > :24:47.The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights are created by energx from
:24:48. > :24:52.the sun, which is carried 93 million miles in a solar wind. As the
:24:53. > :24:56.electrically charged particles approach the earth they hit the
:24:57. > :25:01.magnetic field. The result, a spectacular display of light, and
:25:02. > :25:06.clear skies definitely help in seeing them.
:25:07. > :25:09.Beautiful shots. Other good pictures as we. We do have some nice
:25:10. > :25:39.pictures. . That was a funnel cloud. Tonight we
:25:40. > :25:42.will see a touch of frost. We had hail, thunder tomorrows tod`y.
:25:43. > :25:48.Tonight, mist, fog frost and the risk of ice. The Met Office have
:25:49. > :25:52.issued a yellow weather warning for icy stretch `` stretches. The
:25:53. > :25:55.temperatures fall away, ice on untreated surfaces out on the roads,
:25:56. > :25:59.and pavement, now there will be a few showers for eastern are`s first
:26:00. > :26:03.thing, they will tend to cldar, western areas seeing the cldar skies
:26:04. > :26:06.initially and here we will see dense mist and fog patches, with
:26:07. > :26:11.temperatures falling down to freezing or just below, fredzing in
:26:12. > :26:15.the towns and cities down to minus one or two, and with very lhght
:26:16. > :26:18.wind, that mist and fog could stubborn for some to move fhrst
:26:19. > :26:23.thing. But it will lift eventually, we will see lots of sunny spells at
:26:24. > :26:26.first. It is during the aftdrnoon we will see the cloud bubble up from
:26:27. > :26:32.the west. We may have the odd stray shower for western area, it will be
:26:33. > :26:35.unlucky to catch one, most places tomorrow will enjoy spring sunshine.
:26:36. > :26:41.It is the first day of spring tomorrow, with highs of sevdn to
:26:42. > :26:44.eight Celsius, the winds st`y fairly light. Tomorrow we will see cloud
:26:45. > :26:48.increase for western area, here we may have a few showers. Eastern
:26:49. > :26:52.areas are holding on to the clear sky so the risk of a touch of frost.
:26:53. > :26:57.Maybe ice patches where temperatures fall away to freezing, lows of two
:26:58. > :27:01.to three in the towns and chties, although the breeze tomorrow should
:27:02. > :27:05.be slightly stronger than tonight, we which will keep the mist and fog
:27:06. > :27:08.at bay. To start the day on Sunday it should be bright and sunny, then
:27:09. > :27:12.going down hill later in thd day during the afternoon with a band of
:27:13. > :27:19.rain pushing through and thd winds pick up speed. Following th`t next
:27:20. > :27:24.week we look at a fairly unsettled condition. Temperatures round the
:27:25. > :27:28.seasonal average but there laybe thunderstorms. No Northern Lights
:27:29. > :27:34.tonight? May but not as govdrnment good as last night. There is always
:27:35. > :27:37.hope. More at eight and 10.25 and enjoy your weekend. We will be back
