:00:06. > :00:10.Midlands. This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and Dominic
:00:10. > :00:19.Heale. Our top story tonight. Schools and offices close on a day
:00:19. > :00:23.of protest by teachers and civil servants. I hunger-strikers as they
:00:23. > :00:28.take to the streets. You will hear about by they're fighting for
:00:28. > :00:31.affair pension. And I were people who have been on the receiving end
:00:31. > :00:40.of strike action. Also tonight. The millions of pounds urgently needed
:00:40. > :00:45.to restore this country estate. And in sport, already a triumph for
:00:45. > :00:55.Liam Brady. It was a day when for local players were in action at
:00:55. > :00:55.
:00:55. > :00:58.Wimbledon. Good evening. Welcome to tonight's programme, on a day when
:00:58. > :01:05.thousands of people went on strike to protect their pensions and to
:01:05. > :01:08.protest about spending cuts. Unions described the turnout as great,
:01:08. > :01:11.while one business leader said the action will have cost the region
:01:11. > :01:21.more than �20 million. In a moment we'll analyse the economic impact,
:01:21. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:28.but first this report from Sarah Teale. Fight back! A sea of
:01:28. > :01:31.strikers joining together in defence of their pensions. Rallies
:01:31. > :01:34.like this took place across the East Midlands. Pickets were held
:01:34. > :01:42.outside schools and other public sector offices, like this one at
:01:42. > :01:46.Revenue and Customs. Their message quite clear. You will have to work
:01:46. > :01:50.longer, we will have to pay more and we will get less. A lot less.
:01:50. > :01:52.Public sector workers from across the board joined the action.
:01:52. > :01:54.Teachers, lecturers and civil servants marching side-by-side in
:01:54. > :01:56.protest at the government plans to increase their pension
:01:56. > :02:01.contributions and raise the retirement age. They're talking
:02:01. > :02:06.about increasing contributions by �100 each month, that is �1,200 the
:02:06. > :02:09.year and that is a big impact. have our pensions reduced, it will
:02:09. > :02:13.not help workers in the private sector and the best way to help the
:02:13. > :02:17.private sector is to fight for our rights. There are lots of things we
:02:18. > :02:23.are being hit with and it just does not seem fair on the idea of being
:02:24. > :02:28.60 it and working is absolutely ludicrous. Hundreds of strikers
:02:28. > :02:33.joined the rally. It is well supported. It is noisy with
:02:33. > :02:37.chanting like fight back against cutbacks. Rallies like this have
:02:37. > :02:46.been held in Leicester and Derby as well. About 200 strikers gathered
:02:46. > :02:49.at the market place in Derby. think we are sending a message to
:02:49. > :02:52.the public and to the Government. In Leicester, dozens also took to
:02:52. > :02:58.the streets to march. And protestors, young and old, gathered
:02:58. > :03:03.at Victoria Park in the city. But turnout hasn't been high everywhere,
:03:03. > :03:05.with some picket lines featuring just a handful of people. And
:03:05. > :03:12.despite fears of widespread closures, most government offices
:03:12. > :03:15.did remain open. Despite that, unions call this the most supported
:03:15. > :03:24.strike they've ever had, with some members taking action for the first
:03:24. > :03:30.time in their careers. Are you happy with how it has been
:03:30. > :03:33.supported? I'm very pleased with the number of people, it is a great
:03:33. > :03:36.turn out and it is great that the three unions are striking together.
:03:36. > :03:40.The government is keen to point out that three quarters of civil
:03:40. > :03:43.servants didn't take part in today's strike action. What is
:03:43. > :03:46.clear is that protestors who did walk out, like the 1,200 who
:03:46. > :03:55.marched through Nottingham, are ready for a long fight to win their
:03:55. > :03:57.battle. Today the Government played down the scale of the strike and
:03:57. > :04:03.said the vast majority of public sector employees hadn't supported
:04:03. > :04:10.it. So what was the impact here? Anne has been looking at the
:04:10. > :04:13.figures. I have indeed. Well, the civil servants' PCS union claims
:04:13. > :04:17.nine or 10,000 members went on strike today in the East Midlands,
:04:17. > :04:22.about 85 or 90% of members. The PCS figures are already hotly disputed
:04:22. > :04:25.by the Cabinet Office, though. Looking at Government agencies, the
:04:25. > :04:28.impact seems to have been rather patchy. Five out of six courts at
:04:28. > :04:33.Leicester Crown Court were shut because of today's action and two
:04:33. > :04:38.out of five closed at Nottingham. Some others had reduced services
:04:38. > :04:42.and there could be paperwork backlogs tomorrow. Driving centres
:04:42. > :04:44.appear to have been only lightly affected. And it seems the vast
:04:44. > :04:49.majority, if not all, of the region's Job Centres stayed open,
:04:49. > :04:51.too. There were fears airports could be affected because of
:04:51. > :04:57.immigration officers striking, but East Midlands Airport has reported
:04:57. > :05:02.no disruption. It is schools that have borne the brunt of today's
:05:02. > :05:05.action. The NUT can't yet say how many teachers were on strike and
:05:05. > :05:11.the figures we have are only for schools that reported problems to
:05:11. > :05:14.county councils, so there might be more affected. But as far as we can
:05:14. > :05:22.tell, across our region 299 schools were totally shut down by
:05:22. > :05:27.industrial action. That's one in five or 20%. Some others had to
:05:27. > :05:33.shut down at least some of their classes, a further 396 of them. So
:05:33. > :05:39.nearly half were affected in one way or another. With more now on
:05:39. > :05:42.the impact on parents and others, here's Angelina Socci. This is one
:05:42. > :05:46.of many schools across the East Midlands that was either shut or
:05:46. > :05:50.partially closed today. Some of the protestors here at Kingsmead School
:05:50. > :05:54.in Derby were too young to know what was happening. For others who
:05:54. > :06:03.took to the picket line, it was a time to show solidarity. But not
:06:03. > :06:10.everyone was standing by them. have had to have both of them off
:06:10. > :06:14.school. And find something to do with them. Which is most unusual.
:06:14. > :06:19.had to use up one day of my annual leave. It has been a little bit
:06:19. > :06:24.inconvenient. I think the teachers should be in school and we should
:06:24. > :06:28.have a more civil way of discussing things. They supplied a service and
:06:28. > :06:31.we pay taxes for. They need to get their backsides into gear. But in
:06:31. > :06:34.Nottingham, where a rally was also held, at least a dozen parents
:06:34. > :06:41.turned up with their children. Every single one of them supporting
:06:41. > :06:45.the action. It is very frustrating working in the public sector to
:06:45. > :06:49.find that the supports that we took for granted to do a job on a day-
:06:49. > :06:52.to-day basis are being cut. But as traffic was brought to a standstill
:06:52. > :06:57.as strikers marched through the city, one driver caught up in the
:06:57. > :07:01.jam said it had caused him real disruption. I think they should all
:07:01. > :07:06.be at work. I work in retail, people are losing jobs all over the
:07:06. > :07:10.place. Why should they not pay for their pension? It is disgusting. I
:07:10. > :07:13.have got three kids at home, who cannot be at school because of this.
:07:13. > :07:16.It is disgusting. And it wasn't just parents that were
:07:16. > :07:22.inconvenienced. This man was unable to visit the Job Centre this
:07:22. > :07:27.afternoon. Because I have wanted to speak to my advisers today because
:07:27. > :07:32.they are meant to be starting a job next week, I do not know what to do.
:07:32. > :07:35.I could be committing fraud without benefits by accident. So while many
:07:35. > :07:42.have felt the personal effects of today's strike, experts say a much
:07:42. > :07:44.wider impact has been felt across the economy. We're joined by George
:07:44. > :07:50.Cowcher, the chief executive of the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
:07:50. > :08:00.Chamber of Commerce. Is it possible to say how much the strikes have
:08:00. > :08:01.
:08:01. > :08:04.cost the region today? National surveys say that it has cost about
:08:04. > :08:10.�600 million in terms of lost production and additional costs as
:08:10. > :08:13.a result. We have done some extrapolation on a county by county
:08:13. > :08:23.basis and in Nottinghamshire we estimate companies have lost about
:08:23. > :08:27.�9 million. What factors are used to gather that figure? We can look
:08:27. > :08:31.at the national figure and we will know what the gross value added is
:08:31. > :08:37.of companies in a particular county. If you can see what the national
:08:37. > :08:42.figure is, you can extrapolate that. These are missed deliveries and
:08:42. > :08:46.closures? Extra costs that employers must bear? We have had a
:08:46. > :08:50.number of phone calls from members and other employers about certain
:08:50. > :08:55.problems, particularly staff who have not been able to come to work.
:08:55. > :08:58.That has affected what companies can do. Would potential investors
:08:58. > :09:08.be put off coming into the region if they see hundreds of people on
:09:08. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:14.strike? It is very destructive and it has been reported in New York
:09:14. > :09:17.and around the globe. And it's hard on the heels of all the problems in
:09:17. > :09:20.Greece. This isn't the right message to send out about how to do
:09:20. > :09:26.business in the UK. Do you understand the anger of the
:09:26. > :09:31.strikers over their pension provision? Yes, but many in the
:09:31. > :09:36.private sector have seen their pensions also altered substantially
:09:36. > :09:42.and most public sector pensions are substantially better than anybody
:09:42. > :09:49.gets in the private sector. Some are. This is a conversation we have
:09:49. > :09:51.not got time for. Thank you. Still to come - the 11th hour dash to
:09:51. > :09:53.save a childrens' heart unit. A public consultation on the
:09:53. > :10:03.Glenfield closes tomorrow, so campaigners made sure all their
:10:03. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:06.paperwork made it on time. Yesterday they were in Downing
:10:06. > :10:12.Street. Today, families fighting to keep children's heart surgery in
:10:12. > :10:14.the East Midlands gave their campaign a final push. This
:10:14. > :10:17.afternoon, over 10,000 completed consultation questionnaires were
:10:17. > :10:19.sent to the team reviewing the future of childrens' heart surgery
:10:19. > :10:21.across England. That's on top of thousands already despatched. As
:10:21. > :10:31.our health correspondent, Rob Sissons, reports, the public
:10:31. > :10:39.
:10:39. > :10:44.In here are the hopes and fears of 10,000 people from across the East
:10:44. > :10:48.Midlands. As the latest boxers have completed consultation
:10:48. > :10:55.questionnaires are piled up, so, they hope, is the pressure to keep
:10:55. > :11:01.children's heart surgery going in at Leicester. We have had enormous
:11:01. > :11:04.support from the trust and from staff and parent organisations and
:11:04. > :11:08.we would like to have done more but in the end, we are here to do the
:11:08. > :11:15.job of looking after children with heart disease and despite that, we
:11:15. > :11:18.have a pretty good argument. have the address? You can
:11:18. > :11:21.understand and last-minute nerves, this is precious cargo and the
:11:21. > :11:28.consultation closes tomorrow with everyone still in the dark about
:11:28. > :11:32.what the review will decide. This is the picture at the moment.
:11:32. > :11:35.Children's heart surgery is done at hospitals in these cities. There
:11:35. > :11:39.are ten services and the plan is reduce it to six or seven. There
:11:40. > :11:42.are more than 1,000 combinations possible. In this, one of four
:11:42. > :11:47.short-listed patterns - it's only one in which Leicester's Glenfield
:11:47. > :11:51.service survives. It happens to be the preferred option but local
:11:51. > :11:55.campaigners are taking nothing for granted. They cannot be complacent
:11:55. > :11:58.and the people have shown they are not complacent. There used to sit
:11:58. > :12:03.in hearts and in the past few months it has been about winning
:12:03. > :12:07.minds. Protests and petitions taken to the top, a famous football
:12:07. > :12:09.manager on board helping them achieve that goal. The result is
:12:10. > :12:18.expected at the end of the year but campaigners just hope they have
:12:18. > :12:21.been heard loud enough. A Nottinghamshire man jailed for life
:12:21. > :12:23.in the US three years ago for shooting dead his wife and baby
:12:24. > :12:26.daughter is appealing against his conviction. 32 year-old Neil
:12:27. > :12:30.Entwistle from Worksop is arguing that he should get a new trial
:12:30. > :12:36.because police searched his home without a warrant. His wife and
:12:36. > :12:39.baby were found dead at the property in Massachusetts.
:12:39. > :12:42.Investigations are continuing into the death of a snake breeder who
:12:42. > :12:46.died after one of them bit him. Luke Yeomans ran the King Cobra
:12:46. > :12:50.Sanctuary near Eastwood in Nottinghamshire. Paramedics were
:12:50. > :12:54.called there yesterday afternoon. It's believed he'd suffered a heart
:12:54. > :12:57.attack after being bitten. A reward is being offered to try to catch
:12:57. > :13:03.vandals who scrawled graffiti over a new memorial to the armed forces
:13:03. > :13:07.in Mansfield. It was blessed by the families of soldiers just weeks ago.
:13:07. > :13:11.Six names have been sprayed onto the stone. A 13 year-old girl is
:13:11. > :13:14.helping the police with their enquiries. Those behind the
:13:14. > :13:23.Mansfield Heroes Memorial Fund spent months raising the money for
:13:23. > :13:27.it and say it's a huge blow. When we discovered it had been
:13:27. > :13:32.vandalised, the were firstly absolutely devastated. As a trustee,
:13:32. > :13:36.I spoke to many of the families whose relatives were on this
:13:36. > :13:44.memorial and they were absolutely distraught. Some of them in tears
:13:44. > :13:47.and complete disbelief. A new report says it's going to take more
:13:47. > :13:50.than �6 million to restore a country estate. And without a new
:13:50. > :13:55.use being found for it, it'll fall into further disrepair. Campaigners
:13:55. > :13:57.say Elvaston Castle, near Derby, must remain open to the public. And
:13:57. > :14:07.developers have pledged that their plans will improve access for
:14:07. > :14:07.
:14:07. > :14:11.everyone. Simon Hare went to take a look around. A it was England's
:14:11. > :14:15.first country park. But Alison castle is in need of serious
:14:15. > :14:21.attention. Some are small-scale work has been carried out. Today's
:14:21. > :14:25.report shows the full scale of the task in hand. A team of architects,
:14:25. > :14:29.structural engineers and surveyors have spent months looking at the
:14:29. > :14:33.castle and their conclusion is what many people have known for years.
:14:33. > :14:40.It is in dire need of repair. The full cost of the works hanging over
:14:40. > :14:43.the future of this estate is said to be nearly �6.5 million. The
:14:43. > :14:48.honour, Derbyshire County Council, says the castle urgently needs new
:14:48. > :14:53.use. It has been 15 years since the council first mooted the sale of
:14:53. > :14:58.the place. 11 years on the market. And here we are and nothing has
:14:58. > :15:04.been signed. I hope decisions can be taken much more quickly this
:15:04. > :15:09.time around. And we will see something going out of the ground
:15:09. > :15:14.in 2013. That could see the Cassidy, the conference hotel. I am thrilled
:15:14. > :15:17.we're at this point and we can move on to the next stage. It has
:15:18. > :15:21.confirmed the level of costs we are aware of and I'm really excited
:15:21. > :15:25.that we can move on with English Heritage and the county council.
:15:26. > :15:30.Looking at different uses that can support this cost and support the
:15:30. > :15:35.public access. People have had their ashes scattered here and
:15:35. > :15:39.people cannot afford to go away on holiday and have days out here,
:15:39. > :15:43.people are asking for permission to hold events here and we can see
:15:43. > :15:47.just what revenue is being lost by the council. The authority says it
:15:47. > :15:53.is committed to maintaining public access but it will not burden tax
:15:53. > :16:01.payers with massive bills. Still to come on the programme. Tales from
:16:01. > :16:04.the riverbank with Sally. tonight's programme, we're at
:16:04. > :16:14.Cranford canal and we might have spotted what we have come to look
:16:14. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:31.for. Find out later... Now the sport. No surprises, given the big
:16:32. > :16:41.news of the day? Certainly. SW19... He would not want to be anywhere
:16:41. > :16:47.else. It has been quite a day. Four players competing from or neck of
:16:47. > :16:52.the winds. The star of the show is this man, Liam Brady. He has come
:16:52. > :16:55.out here and nailed it today. I would explain, yesterday he put out
:16:56. > :17:05.the No. 1 seed from the boys' singles and he followed that up
:17:06. > :17:06.
:17:06. > :17:10.today with an epic on Court No. 18 against the German. On Court No. 18,
:17:10. > :17:15.this has to go down as one of the games of his life. Fine tennis in
:17:15. > :17:20.the first set and he took on the tie-break inspired perhaps by
:17:20. > :17:24.Heather Watson. She was part of the crowd that just kept growing around
:17:24. > :17:28.Court Number 18 and no wonder, he had lost the second set and turned
:17:28. > :17:33.the third into something special. As the young pair battled to very
:17:33. > :17:38.nearly a standstill. No tie-breaks in the final set so he had to fight
:17:38. > :17:43.through some real spells at Tardis. And he finally claimed victory. 13
:17:43. > :17:48.- 11 in the third set. I have played in the men's qualifying and
:17:48. > :17:54.I won that so I knew what I needed. I managed to just focus, point by
:17:54. > :17:57.point and with the support of the crowd. It made it easier. He won
:17:57. > :18:03.the junior doubles last year and what on earth might he do next
:18:03. > :18:09.time? The answer is partly that you might win the junior doubles again
:18:09. > :18:14.because fresh off the court for the junior doubles, that is just hours
:18:14. > :18:20.in the singles and two hours in the doubles? Yes, and tired. And will
:18:20. > :18:23.get some food and sleep. It is tricky because at this stage, it
:18:23. > :18:28.gets relentless? You were asked a question about perhaps scratching
:18:28. > :18:37.the doubles? I have my points to defend. It is a great honour to
:18:37. > :18:42.play every match. How much has last year's triumph prepared you? It has
:18:42. > :18:48.helped loans because obviously it helps you in terms of preparation
:18:48. > :18:53.for the big crowd. How far do you think you can go? As far as you can
:18:53. > :19:00.go in the juniors? There's not much pressure because I am one of the
:19:00. > :19:03.law seeds. I will go out and try to enjoy it. Just enjoy it and relax?
:19:04. > :19:11.Yes, I will be fighting for every point but yes, try to get the crowd
:19:11. > :19:14.behind me. Thank you for talking to us. We would chat in a moment.
:19:14. > :19:20.There has been plenty of other stuff going on. Let's catch up with
:19:20. > :19:22.the rest of the sport. First football and a busy day at
:19:22. > :19:25.Leicester City. It's looks like Peterborough United striker Craig
:19:25. > :19:28.Mckail Smith is coming to the Walkers Stadium. He could join
:19:28. > :19:33.tomorrow. Meanwhile, Leicester say goodbye to defender Jack Hobbs, who
:19:33. > :19:38.has signed a three-year contract with Hull City. Also on the way to
:19:38. > :19:41.Hull, Nottingham Forest striker Dele Adebola. The 36 year-old was
:19:41. > :19:44.released by Forest at the start of the summer and he'll be joined at
:19:44. > :19:52.the KC Stadium by Forest midfielder Paul McKenna, who's likely to
:19:52. > :19:55.complete his transfer from the City Ground before the weekend. In
:19:55. > :20:01.cricket, Nottinghamshire have been showing off their new signing.
:20:01. > :20:03.Tamim Iqbal is only the second Bangladeshi to play county cricket.
:20:03. > :20:12.The big hitting international will play the next six Twenty20 matches
:20:12. > :20:18.and he says to play here is a dream come true. When I was young I
:20:18. > :20:21.father used to tell me that it's all about the history of this
:20:21. > :20:26.county and from then on it was a dream. It's a big deal and it is
:20:26. > :20:29.for him to play here. He has been in the training camp in Bangor - so
:20:29. > :20:39.he is fit and ready to play. He'll start his first match for Notts
:20:39. > :20:42.
:20:42. > :20:49.tomorrow against Derbyshire. Let's hope he does well. We should catch
:20:49. > :20:53.up with the other three players at Wimbledon. Jocelyn Rayner, she was
:20:53. > :20:57.competing in the mixed doubles. I am afraid they went out. You can
:20:57. > :21:03.see her performing rather well. They lost that set. The second set,
:21:03. > :21:08.straight sets. And look Banbridge, another familiar face. But Josh
:21:08. > :21:17.ward is still on court in his boys' doubles doing much better, one set
:21:17. > :21:21.up and three - 3, in fact, 4 - 4 in the second set. Ian Brodie, you
:21:21. > :21:28.could just hear, how impressed are you? He has performed at a high
:21:28. > :21:33.level for a few weeks. He was informed. He is getting a lot of
:21:33. > :21:38.attention, is the part of your job to help can manage that? It is one
:21:38. > :21:44.of my roles. But he is level-headed, he gets on with it and enjoys the
:21:44. > :21:47.challenge. What is it like being coached by Mark? He is great. I
:21:47. > :21:56.have only started six months ago in Nottingham and it was a great set-
:21:56. > :22:01.up and great facilities. Everything is great. And the wider scene, for
:22:01. > :22:07.competitors from one part of the world, does that inspire you?
:22:07. > :22:10.great for Nottingham. And the Nottingham Academy has a fantastic
:22:10. > :22:17.programme and it inspires youngsters to follow in his
:22:17. > :22:20.footsteps. Singles triumph? One step at a time! He is playing good
:22:20. > :22:26.tennis and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. He will follow that of
:22:26. > :22:35.away. We will let you know how Josh Ward Hibberd gets on. His game is
:22:35. > :22:41.still going on. Thank you very much. It's not very often that our
:22:41. > :22:44.presenters have to think about what's happening behind the camera.
:22:44. > :22:52.But in this month's Sally Goes Wild, Sally Pepper heads to Derbyshire to
:22:52. > :22:56.put her new wildlife photography skills to the test. This is my
:22:56. > :23:01.local Haven, not far from where I live, I can picnic here and I ride
:23:01. > :23:06.a bike here. And I take time to look at all the fabulous wild life,
:23:06. > :23:11.dragonflies, and were hence, the little grebes. And if you are lucky,
:23:11. > :23:21.you might spot water voles. This is my slice of heaven. This is
:23:21. > :23:24.
:23:24. > :23:27.Cranford canal. You will get some good shots today. Back with Paul
:23:27. > :23:30.Hudson, he lasts a lonely spot of the mountain hare in January.
:23:30. > :23:35.Having won a photographer, he has been coming to Cranford for 30
:23:35. > :23:41.years. They could be doing their business on the same spot every day
:23:41. > :23:44.so we can build up. It's like a calling card. It does help the
:23:44. > :23:48.researchers because they can see them and it's a good way of
:23:48. > :23:58.indicating that they are here. Which can take ages. Hopefully not
:23:58. > :23:59.
:23:59. > :24:09.today. Time to wait. And wait... And wait. And what some more.
:24:09. > :24:10.
:24:10. > :24:15.There... Under the bridge, we spot a small summer. He has dived under.
:24:15. > :24:18.We have to wait for it to pop back out. Really quiet. Now that we had
:24:18. > :24:24.spotted this little water vole, Paul give me tips on how to take
:24:24. > :24:28.the perfect picture in case he rapiers. We have seen him on that
:24:28. > :24:32.bank so there is a fair chance he welcome back out. It's always nice
:24:32. > :24:35.if the animal is looking into the frame. So you have some of the
:24:35. > :24:43.animal looking across the picture so you have got more space on the
:24:43. > :24:48.side of the animal. Giving that exposure. He might only be there
:24:48. > :24:56.for a few seconds. That allows you to move quicker when he disappeared.
:24:56. > :25:01.And if Mr Ahern goes past a well practised... -- I will practice.
:25:01. > :25:06.And he finally popped back out. Next time you are in your local
:25:06. > :25:13.slice of quiet life heaven, bring a camera and have a little patience,
:25:13. > :25:16.you might capture your perfect wind In the Willows moment... And if you
:25:16. > :25:19.would like to pick up more wildlife photography tips, then you can take
:25:19. > :25:28.a look at the extended version of the Cromford Water Voles online at
:25:28. > :25:38.www.bbc.co.uk/derby. Dear little things. Now the big blue yonder. It
:25:38. > :25:38.
:25:38. > :25:48.I have some nice clouds to show you. Things are set to turn settled over
:25:48. > :25:51.the end of the week but on the county side. Sorry about that, this
:25:51. > :25:55.is a cloud we had earlier on, increasing through the day and
:25:56. > :26:00.turning thick for a time before turning away and we have at the
:26:00. > :26:03.moment broken cloud, decent sunny spells and any of the earlier
:26:03. > :26:07.showers have now cleared towards the east coast and eventually
:26:07. > :26:12.overnight, all of us will be clear. With this clear skies, you would
:26:12. > :26:16.expect it still to be mild and it will instead dropped down to eight
:26:16. > :26:23.degrees, that is towns and cities. In rural spots, it will get 10 to
:26:23. > :26:26.about four five degrees. It's a fresh start to the first day of
:26:26. > :26:31.July, actually going through the Friday be when it is that cloud
:26:31. > :26:36.bubbling up. That is the high pressure, trapping the cloud and
:26:36. > :26:41.still fairly warm with the top temperature of 19 degrees. 66
:26:41. > :26:44.Fahrenheit. Friday night into Saturday, what we have had all week,
:26:44. > :26:50.the cloud breaking and turning San'a and into Saturday, high
:26:50. > :26:53.pressure still with us but look... Still cloud round and it starts dry
:26:53. > :26:58.and sunny but that cloud slowly increases through the day on
:26:58. > :27:04.Saturday and the isobars are far apart so it will be a lovely still
:27:04. > :27:10.day on Saturday. Further ahead, again, high pressure for a Sunday
:27:10. > :27:19.but we trap the cloud. It will feel warm earth. Top temperature, 22
:27:19. > :27:24.degrees. Let us recap, tomorrow, cloudy with 19 degrees. Slowly
:27:24. > :27:28.through the weekend, things get water and into Monday, staying with
:27:28. > :27:37.that high pressure, settled and a top temperature of 23. Nice and
