This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
Our top story tonight - could the row over Bombardier's lost contract | :00:08. | :00:16. | |
end up in the courts? Union bosses accused the Government of breaking | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
the rules and deserting Derby. will destroy Derby as a | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
manufacturing base. These people have skilled trades to build | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
coaches. They will be languishing on the dole queue. A mother accused | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
of causing the death of her baby breaks down in court. Plus, the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
cuts are biting. Find out how museums could be closing in the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
winter and libraries could be reducing their hours. What would | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :00:58. | ||
you buy if you won at the bureau Good evening and welcome to | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Monday's programme. It's a big week for Bombardier. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Pressure is growing on the Government to overturn its decision | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
to award a huge rail contract to a German rival. The Transport | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Secretary will be facing rail union officials and there's a public | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
meeting planned in Derby. And today, two union heavyweights | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
gave their backing to Bombardier. Both claim the Government failed to | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
consider the economic impact on Derby of those 1,400 job losses. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
And one of them is now threatening legal action. Mike O'Sullivan | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
reports. Backing for Bombardier. National | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
union leader Len McCluskey with Bombardier shop stewards at the TUC | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
offices in the city. Pressure now mounting on the Government to | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
reverse its decision to give the �1.4 billion Thameslink contract to | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
:01:59. | :02:01. | ||
the German company Siemens. This simply cannot be right that you do | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
not take into their account the impact of the devastating loss of | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
jobs in communities, but also the social implications. What does it | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
mean to families? What does it mean to communities? Bombardier | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
:02:25. | :02:30. | ||
announced 1,400 job losses last week after losing the contract. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
There is now a growing campaign to overturn the Government's decision | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
so that the contract can be brought here to Derby. This is the last | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
train maker in Britain and it has highlighted the importance of | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
manufacturing tear our economy. day I think it will be OK, then in | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
the next day's newspaper EC the opposite. But there is believe | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
there, because we have a lot of backing. I think there might be an | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
outside chance of it being turned round. The support we're getting, I | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
:03:13. | :03:15. | ||
am really impressed. The campaign goes on. Rail union officials meet | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
the transport secretary in London on Wednesday. The next day there'll | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
be a public meeting back home. spoke to Bob Crow, the leader of | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
the RMT rail union. He says it will devastate the city. We are arguing | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
for a company that is based in Britain. It will destroy Derby as a | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
manufacturing base. These people have skills to build trains, to | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
build coaches and they will be languishing on the dole queue. We | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
do not think that is right. We think the social circumstances and | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
the cost to the taxpayer on social security benefits and reduction in | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
tax should be taken into account. The Government clearly is not | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
bending on it. You have heard the transport secretary saying he just | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
followed the rules. We will have to see if he has followed the rules. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
We do not believe that is right. The people of Derby do not believe | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
that is right. If this was a company that lost its contract to | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
another company, the workers would have to transferred directly over | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
:04:31. | :04:31. | ||
to the new company. This means that under the transfer under protection | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
employment regulations, these workers cannot transfer to follow | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
their work to Germany, because the legislation is each individual's | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
domestic law. The companies concerned at some stage will say | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
that they cannot afford to pay for redundancy payments. Siemens say | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
they will create 2000 jobs, 600 of them highly skilled jobs in this | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
country. That will help. We will have to wait and see. We already | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
have agencies looking for workers to transferred to Germany. You | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
cannot tell me that the vast majority of people will not be able | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
to leave their families in Derby and going live in Germany. We | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
should be building trains for British Railways in Britain. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Police and Fire Service investigators are assessing the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
cause of a fire at a scrap yard in Nottinghamshire. Crews were called | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
to the Ponderosa yard in Bestwood Village just before five o'clock | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
yesterday. They're allowing the 1,000 tonnes of timber to burn out | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
safely. It's designed to avoid damage to nearby crops and save | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
water. A drug dealer from Nottingham, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
who's been on the run for three years, has finally been jailed for | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
his part in a conspiracy to supply heroin with a street value of | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
almost �5 million. 50-year-old Michael McNiffe from Bestwood, was | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
sentenced to 20 years in prison. He'd been arrested on the Isle of | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Wight in January after his details appeared on the BBC's Crimewatch | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
programme. Still to come this evening - a big | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
drop in borrowing. Borrowing library books, that is. | :06:15. | :06:25. | |
:06:25. | :06:26. | ||
We'll be looking at plans to slash library and museum opening hours. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
A mother who admits that she shook her baby causing its death, has | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
broken down in tears at Leicester Crown Court. 24-year-old Jodie Pick | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
denies the manslaughter of her 7- week-old baby Courtney in May 2009. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
The prosecution says she shook the baby in a fit of anger, but she | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
says it was only to revive her. Our reporter James Roberson has been | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
listening to the evidence and he spoke to me when the court was | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
adjourned for the day. It has been an emotional day in | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
court. The jury has been shown a photograph album that the Geordie | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
compiled of heard daughter's life. The baby was born prematurely and | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
had p thing and feeding problems. The mother broke down in tears when | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
she recalled the moment when she found her baby lifeless at their | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
home in her Moses basket. She says she picked her up, blew in her face | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
to try and revive her, and then when that did not happen, she shook | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
her to try and revive her. What sort of questions was she asked by | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
her own defence barrister? It is accepted by boss-eyed that they it | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
shaking caused the baby's death. The issue is motivation. The | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
prosecution says the mother was angry with her daughter. She was | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
asked, did you lose your temper with the baby? The answer was No. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Did you lose your temper about something else and take it out on | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
the baby? Know. But you do except that what you did that day killed | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
her? Yes, she said, and broke down in tears. I believe she face some | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
hard questioning by the prosecution. Yes, indeed. In cross-examination, | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
it was put to her that she had had a lot to achieve that day. The | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
family was going for its first holiday. She told the court that | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
she came in from hanging washing, to find the baby in her Moses | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
basket, apparently strangled by her own bed. She was told, the truth is, | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
she was not feeding properly and you did not have -- you had too | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
much to do. Hospital staff in Leicester could | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
hold a vote of no confidence in senior health trust managers. It's | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
emerged that the University Hospitals of Leicester Trust has | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
overspent its budget by a predicted �1 million over the last month. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
That's on top of a �6 million overspend in the first two months | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
of the financial year. The hospital management say they are committed | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
to addressing the overspend. Meanwhile, staff at Derby's | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
hospitals are being asked if they want to reduce their working hours. | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
It's one of the ideas being put forward to save money following | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Government cuts. More than 7,000 staff, ranging from kitchen workers | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
to surgeons have been asked if they would like to apply to go part time. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
And library opening times could be reduced in parts of the East | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Midlands in an effort to save money. The plan by Leicestershire County | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Council to cut thousands of hours is part of a proposal to save �4 | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
million. The authority is also considering closing two museums for | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
:09:56. | :10:00. | ||
the winter. Helen Astle reports. Welcome to this museum, which | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
reopens two months ago after a refurbishment. Now it is one of two | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
these teams facing closure for two days a week and a month over winter. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
To save money. When they were planning the new extension to this | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
building, it was way before the financial situation this country | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
finds itself been developed. What we looked at was, let's look at our | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
libraries and museums. Let's look good when people use them and when | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
they don't use them. The cuts do not end at the seams. This library | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
is one of 22 across Leicestershire which is facing having its opening | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
hours reduced. The county council wants to cut 20,000 hours. It is | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
really important, because my son is like a little sponge. He loves | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
reading different books and I use the internet down here, so it would | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
be a real shame. I suppose if it saves money, it is all good at the | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
minute. As long as I can get to a library and get bad books out and | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
take them back. For a lot of people, it will be difficult, because | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
people at work and it did not have time to come in the daytime. At the | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
museum, there are features about Leicestershire's history. In the | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
future, will these proposed cuts be part of a display? | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
So are we going to see more of this from our cash-strapped councils? | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
The Government is looking at scrapping some of the statutory | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
duties and services that councils are obliged to provide. Our | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Political Editor John Hess has been digging away on an allotment to | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
:11:49. | :11:52. | ||
bring us more. These are some of the 1,300 | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
different rules and regulations that Westminster and Whitehall | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
oblige her local councils to carry out legally. Statutory obligations. | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
They cover a range of services from adult and child care through to | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
planning, road safety, food safety, libraries. Allotments, which is why | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
I am at these allotments this evening. The communities secretary | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Eric Pickles believes that a lot of these regulations can be | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
streamlined, not only to make them much simpler to understand, but | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
also to save money, as well. He takes as an example, the obligation | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
of local authorities to advertise certain planning notice in route | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
local newspaper. Why not put it online, he says. That would save up | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
to �200 million over the next five When will the government come | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
forward with this streamlined list of statutory duties? The government | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
has already gone out to consultation postop the results | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
were not that surprising. Most of us want our councils to be obliged | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
to provide adult care, childcare, libraries, the law says local | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
councils should provide a comprehensive and efficient library | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
service, as well as providing the money for allotments. What is | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
happening now is the communities department are taking on board some | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
of those consultations and are likely to come back later in the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
year with their own recommendations. Briefly, it will these proposals be | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
controversial? They certainly will be. Already Eric Pickles is saying | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
that half of these regulations have been introduced since 1997, | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
surprise surprise, that is when Labour took power. Labour would | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
have argued that what they did was upgrade had modernise and we doubt | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
many of the old Victorian regulations that local government | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
was obliged to stick do. That list is a bit of a doorstop. Thank you. | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Charities and local MPs are calling for safeguards for residents at | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
care homes run by the company Southern Cross. The family | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
currently operates almost 60 care homes in the East Midlands -- the | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
company. The MP Stephen Dorrell who chairs the Commons health select | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
committee says that it is essential that the care of residents remains | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
unaffected. The business advice service for | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
Derbyshire says it is seeing an increasing the number of people | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
considering self-employment. Business Link Derbyshire says | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
hundreds of planned redundancies at Egg, Bombardier and Western Power | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Distribution for all mean it is hearing from more and more people | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
who are looking to start their own businesses. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
A small idea to help deal with a very big problem which is | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
congestion. Nottinghamshire County Council is opening a string of | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
pocket part and rides using existing car parks and bus services | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
instead of spending millions on a purpose-built schemes. You are | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
looking at the country's first public park and ride scheme. The | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
idea is simple. Park for free and then hop on an existing bus service | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
for �3 for the rest of the journey into Nottingham, avoiding expensive | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
car parking charges and ultimately, the Workplace Parking Levy. I think | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
it is brilliant and it saves me a fortune and I read books and I am | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
not stressed. �12 a week to get to work, no traffic jams. It is | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
brilliant. The council earmarks car parks. It brings them up to scratch | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
as well as installing lighting and CCTV. It also pays the landlord | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
�1,000 a year. They big park and ride scheme would cost us around �5 | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
million of capital to build which is on average �5,000 a space. These | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
sites cost us initially at �500 NO- SPACE. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
The second scheme is opening in a we's time in a pub car park | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
offering 60 spaces. Hopefully, the people who use the car park will | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:19. | ||
also use the business. The council expects to increase that to take up | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
as it rolls out tender schemes across the county. | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
What does the countryside mean it to you? Believe it or not, 86% of | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
England is defined as a role. That is according to the government. -- | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:45. | ||
is find as rural. Today, it is the start of a week-long celebration of | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
all things role. It is the brainchild of the Prince of Wales. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
-- all things roles. He wants to highlight the importance of the | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
countryside, not only took a our economy, but to our general sense | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
of well-being. Welcome to the walk. What better | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
way to start national countryside week than with a walk in the | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
country. These ramblers are exploring land surrounding -- in | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Nottinghamshire FA I ended up two miles away but I have never been | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
here before. The thing to celebrate his the things that if farmers and | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
landowners do to enable people like me and this group of people to go | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
out walking. Without their maintenance and management of the | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
footpaths and the styles, we would not be be able to get the pleasure | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
that we do. This showed his local Glassman the chance to sell their | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
bids and show off their skills -- local craftsmen. They cannot just | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
be a theme park. It has to be somewhere where people live and | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
work and are able to make that a living. As I say, it cannot be a | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
theme park. They lot of people may struggle to understand what is | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
going on in the countryside. Especially city-dwellers. But with | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
the interest in food and farming, I think the countryside will spread | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
to be found. The ideas will spread to the town. National countryside | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
week wants everyone to get out and enjoy their local landscape and to | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
spare a thought for the people who live and work there. | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
Back in the City, a Nottingham park is to undergo a �5 million makeover. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
The restoration of the historic Forest Recreation Ground which | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
hosts the annual Goose Fair what we funded by lottery money and | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Nottingham City Council. It is hoped the money will restore the | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
grounds, restore the listed lodge and create new visitor facilities. | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
Still to come, decisions, decisions. After another at EuroMillions | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
rollover, we have been trying to work out what you could buy with | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
:19:10. | :19:17. | ||
I am writing a list. Things I can buy. A few footballers perhaps? | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
Leicester City are trying to spend that much. We will start tonight | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
with a landmark when for the Latin and jockey, Hayley Turner. -- the | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
Nottingham jockey. She became the first woman to have when it a race | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
outright. She was thrilled to win. In cricket, Stuart Broad has been | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
sent back to Nottinghamshire after being dropped by England for their | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
final one-day international. He opened the bowling today in the | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
championship match against Somerset. He is facing a battle to retain his | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
England place for the first Test. It took one of four early wickets | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
but then Somerset went runs mad. On the first day in Derby, there | :20:04. | :20:12. | |
was a century which rescued Derbyshire's first innings. With | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Leicestershire, the game is still up for grabs. | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
In football, we understand that Leicester City are interested in | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
Paul Konchesky. As for Forest, Steve McLaren says he may not go on | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
the club's pre-season tour but will stay in England to help search for | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
players. The clock was rolled back yesterday | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
when a biker in his 70s from Derby trip on a 69-year-old from Italy. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
When they raced at Mallory Park in 1971, more than 50,000 people were | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
there to watch it and thousands more weather again this weekend. -- | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
where there again this weekend. It was called the Festival of 1000 | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
bikes. Old bikes and old bikers were reunited. Event some of the | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
machines had has seen better days and some of them never quite took | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
off as racing machines, the fans loved it. There were the greatest | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
names from bike racing in the 60s, 70s and 80s, including a track | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
appearance by American Kenny Roberts. And a re-run of one of the | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
greatest races ever. Back together again, Italian Giacomo Agostini and | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
Derby's John "Mooneyes" Cooper. In 1971, more than 50,000 people | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
turned out at Mallory Park to watched and they were almost as | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
:21:41. | :21:42. | ||
popular yesterday. I am very happy to come back here. It is fun. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
69, Giacomo Agostini was the unbeatable world champion. Now 71, | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
John "Mooneyes" Cooper was the local boy who finally beat him. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
People are coming today and they say they were here for 40 years ago. | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
I cannot believe how many have come to see it again! This time, Giacomo | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Agostini led the way around but it did not matter because it was not a | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
:22:15. | :22:20. | ||
race but a biking homage. It is a question many of us have | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
pondered, what would we do if we won the lottery? 166 million it is | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
up for grabs in tomorrow's EuroMillions. We have been finding | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:43. | ||
You have won the jackpot, what is the first thing you might want to | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
do? By a property, perhaps. This one you would be easily able to | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
afford. �3 million for the Grade 1 listed building. If you want | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
something a bit more modern, what about this contemporary one. Just | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
over �2 million. Or maybe you want city living. This one was set you | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
back just over a million pounds and it is only a stone's throw away | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
You have bought the million-pound house, or what about a special | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
treat? A girl can never have enough jewellery and this rain, bracelet | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:31. | ||
and necklace will cost you about And of course, if you have got the | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
nice house and the Naz jury, you will also need a nice car. -- | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
denies the jewellery. What we do do if you want the lottery? I would go | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
on holiday with the wife. Give it away. Would you? A yes, I would. | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
would set myself up a recording studio. Carry on working, it keeps | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
your mind going. I would go on holiday. I would do research to | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
save the world. Have some really nice luxury holidays. With me? | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
have decided that I want the house, the car and all of the jewellery. I | :24:23. | :24:32. | |
had better get a ticket. Birthday? Man's birthday? Anniversary? | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
It always helps to buy a ticket. We have been very hard at work of | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
figuring out what you can spend the money on. You could splash out on | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
110 Bugatti Veyron sports cars postop or if you prefer a more | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
modest form of transport, how about 1,748 Ford Fiestas. Whatever you | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
drive, you can afford approximately 122,900 million litres of fuel. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
That is of course, 27 million gallons in old money. How about | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
staying at the seven star Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai? You could live | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
there in a two-bedroom apartment for almost 300 years. Why would you | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
:25:24. | :25:27. | ||
want to live there for so long? Does money buy you happiness? No. | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:46. | ||
It will stay dry overnight. What a beautiful photo! Please do send us | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
your photos. I think we will speak another red sky it tonight. It is | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
due to the high pressure that has been trying to keep a hold of | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
things and keep things settled across the UK. We will see the low- | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
pressure working its way through from France during the course of | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
tomorrow. It will be cloudy with showers. We have seen quite a bit | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
of cloud through the afternoon. Now, as we go through the rest of the | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
day, we will see the clouds and melt away. Some good clear spells | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
overnight. One or two showers in the north that could trickle-down | :26:22. | :26:30. | |
during the course of the night. Mainly staying dry. Temperatures of | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
around 11 degrees minimum. We start Tuesday morning, like this morning, | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
on a nice bright and sunny note. The cloud will increase again, | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
bringing with it the risk of the odd shower. If you have got plans | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
to be out and about, it is worth bearing in mind. A little cooler do | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
to the north-easterly breeze. The high pressure keeps things dry and | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
settled through Wednesday, bringing more warm sunny spells. Thursday is | :27:02. | :27:07. |
