:00:04. > :00:12.Dominic Heale and Anne Davies. Tonight, our councils in the dock.

:00:12. > :00:16.They're accused of lavishing money on air travel. The TaxPayers'

:00:16. > :00:22.Alliance calls it shocking that council chiefs say they can justify

:00:22. > :00:27.every penny. I am absolutely against junketing. Most flights are

:00:27. > :00:34.for social workers to go abroad to speak to families or accompany

:00:34. > :00:39.children being returned to their Farm is. Also -- families. Also did

:00:39. > :00:44.a lack of funding help contribute to the death of this vulnerable

:00:44. > :00:51.man? Unfortunately, lack of funding, these instances have become more

:00:51. > :00:56.frequent. Plus, Chinese investors look at taking over AstraZeneca.

:00:56. > :01:06.And I will find out who has been letting off his frustration and

:01:06. > :01:12.

:01:12. > :01:14.using this as a multi- gym at Calke Good evening. First tonight, a

:01:15. > :01:17.pressure group that campaigns for lower taxes has criticised councils

:01:17. > :01:20.in our region for spending more than �100,000 on flights abroad.

:01:20. > :01:22.The TaxPayers' Alliance says it believes many trips aren't

:01:22. > :01:30.necessary and local authorities should be more responsible with

:01:30. > :01:39.their budgets. But councils have vigorously defended their spending.

:01:39. > :01:43.Sarah Teale's been looking behind the statistics. Several councils in

:01:43. > :01:49.the East Midlands are accused of being sky high spenders on flights

:01:49. > :01:55.overseas. But council leaders say there have not been any jolly is

:01:55. > :01:58.abroad and they are spending justified amounts. The tax payers

:01:58. > :02:03.alliance say Leicestershire County Council are the third highest

:02:03. > :02:09.spending in the Midlands. In the past two years, they spent more

:02:09. > :02:14.than �26,000 on air travel. Most of it went on sending two children

:02:14. > :02:19.with extremely severe dyslexia to a special school in Newcastle,

:02:19. > :02:23.another �900 went towards sending young carers who look after their

:02:23. > :02:27.parents on a trip to Paris. Parents have parental choice and also we

:02:27. > :02:31.have to think what is in the best interests of children who need

:02:31. > :02:37.special care. As long as it is not hideously expensive, we do have a

:02:38. > :02:40.duty to care for children in our care. We are not referred to as

:02:41. > :02:49.corporate parents. It is not generosity in my view, it is

:02:49. > :02:55.necessary. Nottingham City Council was also a big spender, coming 4th

:02:55. > :02:58.in the table. �4,000 was spent on a trip to Boston and �2,000 on a trip

:02:58. > :03:03.to Shanghai. But the council says most overall travel has been to

:03:03. > :03:07.boost the city's economy. They say they have been supporting

:03:07. > :03:09.Nottingham firms looking to win contracts abroad and they have been

:03:09. > :03:14.promoting the City, to encourage investment here.

:03:14. > :03:21.Or so on the defensive was Nottinghamshire County Council

:03:21. > :03:26.which spent a total of �16,000 including nearly �3,000 on flights

:03:26. > :03:31.to Albania but that was a visit for the nine young people are helping

:03:31. > :03:34.deliver aid. I am absolutely against junketing.

:03:34. > :03:39.Most flights are social workers going abroad to either speak to

:03:39. > :03:43.families or accompany children returning to their families. I

:03:43. > :03:47.think it is important and well worth spending money on for of the

:03:47. > :03:51.TaxPayers' Alliance said Rutland county council had spent �10,000 on

:03:51. > :03:54.a flight to Ghana. The council told us that they had never spent the

:03:54. > :04:01.money. In fact the council said it was

:04:01. > :04:03.part of a youth volunteering Project to improve schools for the

:04:04. > :04:06.community there and it was funded completely by a government grant.

:04:06. > :04:13.Joining us now from the Taxpayers' Alliance is Emma Boon, its

:04:13. > :04:16.campaigns director. Good evening. Did the Taxpayers' Alliance realise

:04:16. > :04:22.much of the most expensive air travel was legally necessary under

:04:23. > :04:27.councils' obligations to care for children? We asked all councils

:04:27. > :04:30.across the Midlands what they were spending on flight, not for reasons

:04:30. > :04:34.for those and in some instances, councils provided that extra

:04:34. > :04:41.information. What we were trying to do is highlight that a lot of

:04:41. > :04:44.councils are spending money on flights and some are not. We up

:04:44. > :04:50.putting the data out for council tax payers to decide whether they

:04:51. > :04:54.think it is good value. I think you're a director speaks about

:04:54. > :05:02.council officers jetting around the world enjoying business class.

:05:02. > :05:06.in some instances, we did see there was a Premium economy and business

:05:06. > :05:10.class travel. Lincolnshire councils have said that and it is hard to

:05:11. > :05:14.justify that when you are looking at some examples. Some councils in

:05:14. > :05:18.the Midlands spent nothing on air travel so it is up to local

:05:18. > :05:23.taxpayers to decide if they think it was value-for-money. We are not

:05:23. > :05:26.saying that councils should not spend any money on any flight and

:05:26. > :05:30.your reporter looked into some of those which are justified but we

:05:31. > :05:34.are asking if they are really needed. You say that 29 councils

:05:34. > :05:43.did not spend anything but these are the smaller councils to do not

:05:43. > :05:46.have a duty as the other councils I believe it was Herefordshire

:05:46. > :05:50.Council who did not spend any money and that is a larger council.

:05:50. > :05:56.Largely speaking, they were smaller but let's be clear that not all of

:05:56. > :05:59.these flights that we have cited in our research work for caring for

:05:59. > :06:02.children or anything to do with that. You mentioned one in your

:06:02. > :06:07.report which was apparently to do with helping to boost the local

:06:07. > :06:12.economy. If you are trying to do that, why are you travelling abroad

:06:12. > :06:17.to do it? The to go back to the case we raised about the child, two

:06:17. > :06:23.children with dyslexia flown to specialist schools in Newcastle,

:06:23. > :06:27.there is nothing profligate about that, his there? This specific

:06:27. > :06:31.example... If that is the right treatment for those two children, I

:06:31. > :06:34.do not know the particulars of that case, that is something the council

:06:35. > :06:39.must look at to decide if it is the best value and choice for those

:06:39. > :06:42.children. Is it there another way they could do things? This is

:06:42. > :06:47.putting information into the public domain and it is the only way that

:06:47. > :06:53.tax payers can look at this and ask if this is the right choice for of

:06:53. > :06:56.Next tonight, it's emerged that Chinese investors are in talks to

:06:56. > :06:59.take over AstraZeneca. The Loughborough-based pharmaceutical

:06:59. > :07:04.giant is closing down production at the plant by the end of the year

:07:04. > :07:07.with the loss of 1,300 jobs. With the region's economy set to lose

:07:07. > :07:17.�45 million from the closure, hopes are high that new investors can be

:07:17. > :07:19.

:07:19. > :07:24.Loughborough, like many towns and cities, is struggling following the

:07:24. > :07:28.economic downturn. It came as a blow when one of the town's biggest

:07:28. > :07:35.employers, AstraZeneca, announced it was close with the loss of over

:07:35. > :07:39.1,000 jobs. -- it was too close. But there may be a glimmer of hope.

:07:39. > :07:43.Yesterday, a group of Chinese investors accompanied by members of

:07:44. > :07:49.the Chinese Government came to look at the site. I think this is a

:07:49. > :07:53.serious intention to probably purchase the site off AstraZeneca.

:07:53. > :07:57.There is an opportunity to bring some serious development back to

:07:57. > :08:02.the town. With the recession, finances are very tight. The fact

:08:02. > :08:06.we have now got a consortium of Anglo British investors is to be

:08:06. > :08:10.welcomed and I think there is a real opportunity to bring this site

:08:10. > :08:16.back to fruition and use it to drive economic development in the

:08:16. > :08:19.airy. With a workforce of over 1,300 people, AstraZeneca is the

:08:19. > :08:22.second biggest employer in town but it is said to close before the end

:08:22. > :08:25.of the year. Local people believe the impact will be massive. I think

:08:25. > :08:29.the firm is very important to Loughborough but I would like to

:08:29. > :08:33.see local jobs staying in the local economy. If that is the case, and

:08:33. > :08:40.they keep the business in the area and employ local people, that would

:08:40. > :08:46.certainly make a difference. employs a lot of people at and it

:08:46. > :08:49.would be a loss to the town if it goes. It would be a lot of people

:08:49. > :08:53.who are skilled and extremely skilled and it is important we keep

:08:53. > :08:56.that facility in Loughborough. faces competition from a rival site

:08:56. > :09:06.in Kent but it is hoped a decision on the future of the left beside

:09:06. > :09:09.

:09:09. > :09:16.will be secured soon. -- on the Still to come on the programme. A

:09:16. > :09:18.whole day's rain - a rare event, but is there more to come?

:09:18. > :09:27.outlook is cloudy and windy but the biggest problem tonight could be

:09:27. > :09:30.the fog. I will have more details later.

:09:31. > :09:36.A housing association says that the death of a man in Mansfield was a

:09:36. > :09:41.tragedy waiting to happen. The man, whose body was found on Tuesday,

:09:41. > :09:44.was John Paul Johnson. The organisation that was housing him

:09:44. > :09:47.says a lack of funding from the district council meant vulnerable

:09:48. > :09:54.people were put at risk. The council says funding had nothing to

:09:55. > :09:59.do with Mr Johnson's tragic death. James Roberson reports. The police

:09:59. > :10:04.were called to a house next to a takeaway on Chesterfield Road South

:10:04. > :10:08.in Mansfield on Tuesday morning. Forensic examinations have been

:10:08. > :10:12.extensive. The police confirmed today that the dead man was 42-

:10:12. > :10:17.year-old John Paul Johnson who died from chest injuries. The house

:10:17. > :10:21.occupied by a number of vulnerable people was run by a Medway Housing,

:10:21. > :10:25.an organisation specialising in helping such clients. They run

:10:25. > :10:32.other similar properties in Mansfield. They say they have had a

:10:32. > :10:36.two year dispute with the council which have left clients without the

:10:36. > :10:41.full support from care workers. They say they have had problems

:10:41. > :10:47.before with clients. I have got to be honest and I have to say it was

:10:47. > :10:50.looking like an accident waiting to happen. We used to put night staff

:10:50. > :10:57.on on a regular basis but with the lack of funding, these instances

:10:57. > :11:02.have become more frequent. Mansfield council reviewed the

:11:02. > :11:12.claim and say it will be used to pay for rent, not support workers.

:11:12. > :11:27.

:11:27. > :11:30.The police say two people arrested in connection with Mr Johnson's

:11:30. > :11:36.murder have been released without charge. A further three people have

:11:36. > :11:42.been released on bail while another three men aged 19, 24 and 29 are

:11:42. > :11:45.still being questioned. A serial killer who left the bodies

:11:45. > :11:50.of three schoolgirls in the East Midlands has been found guilty of a

:11:50. > :11:56.fourth murder, in Northern Ireland. Robert Black was at large for

:11:56. > :11:58.several years during the 1980s and 1990s. He's already been convicted

:11:58. > :12:01.of murdering Susan Maxwell, Caroline Hogg and Sarah Harper.

:12:01. > :12:05.Caroline was only five when Black dumped her body in this

:12:05. > :12:10.Leicestershire layby. Three years later, Sarah Harper was found dead

:12:10. > :12:17.in the River Trent in Nottingham. Police are looking for two men who

:12:17. > :12:20.sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. It happened on Maws Lane at

:12:20. > :12:23.Kimberley in Nottinghamshire at about 10:30 last night. Officers

:12:23. > :12:27.are trying to trace two teenagers who were both wearing bandanas. One

:12:27. > :12:31.also has a tattoo on his neck. The Joseph Wright Gallery at Derby

:12:31. > :12:34.Museum is to close for four months for refurbishment. Work starts next

:12:34. > :12:37.week on the gallery so that it'll be able to display more of its

:12:37. > :12:42.collection of paintings and drawings by the artist who was born

:12:42. > :12:45.in Derby. The gallery's due to re- open towards the end of February.

:12:45. > :12:52.Next tonight, a screening programme which has helped save lives is set

:12:52. > :12:55.to be rolled out across the country. The Leicester Royal Infirmary was

:12:55. > :12:57.one of the first hospitals to offer abdominal aortic aneurysm screening.

:12:57. > :13:07.Now the Health Secretary has announced a major roll-out is under

:13:07. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:14.Frank Greaves chat to the Health Secretary about how the screening

:13:14. > :13:17.programme saved his life. Frank from Leicester was one of the first

:13:17. > :13:23.people to be treated under the national scheme, the condition

:13:23. > :13:29.which often has no symptoms can be fatal if untreated. I was shocked.

:13:29. > :13:35.But if you take from that and the fact that my wife also came, was

:13:35. > :13:39.told that because of its size, I would have been dead in two years.

:13:39. > :13:47.Across the county, thousands of people are invited to be screened.

:13:47. > :13:53.There is a high take-up rate. 83% and lives have been saved. We have

:13:53. > :13:58.picked up 164 people with aneurisms. Out of those, just over 20 so far

:13:58. > :14:04.have been referred and undergone surgery. These are people that

:14:04. > :14:07.would have been not detected. And they would have stood very low

:14:07. > :14:11.chances of survival. The Health Secretary was in town to announce

:14:11. > :14:15.that the work being done in Leicester would be taken up by

:14:15. > :14:20.other hospitals having overcome concerns about the programme.

:14:20. > :14:24.clear that it is worth doing it. The evidence that came from the

:14:24. > :14:31.work here in Leicester and other places really demonstrated that.

:14:31. > :14:35.This is a ticking timebomb with a new but in the ultimate, it saves

:14:35. > :14:41.your life. Without the screening programme, he would not be here.

:14:41. > :14:46.is hoped that as the work is carried out across the country,

:14:46. > :14:49.around 3,000 lives per year will be More jobs are under threat after

:14:49. > :14:51.the owner of one of Nottingham's biggest nightclubs went into

:14:51. > :14:54.administration. The Luminar group, which owns Oceana, says it's

:14:54. > :15:00.suffered because its main customers, who are aged 18-24, have been hit

:15:00. > :15:07.by high levels of unemployment. The company lost almost �200 million

:15:07. > :15:16.last year. Luminar recently put itself up for sale, but there

:15:16. > :15:19.weren't any takers. Part of the statue of Saddam

:15:19. > :15:22.Hussein which was toppled in Iraq failed to reach its reserve price

:15:22. > :15:25.at an auction in Derby. The bronze piece was obtained eight years ago

:15:25. > :15:34.by a former SAS officer who smuggled it into the UK. The top

:15:34. > :15:36.bid was �21,000. It's not known what will happen to the piece now.

:15:36. > :15:38.Breast cancer patients undergoing reconstructive surgery are now

:15:38. > :15:41.being offered the finishing touch in Derby. It's tattooing, a new

:15:41. > :15:46.service that until now meant patients having to travel to

:15:46. > :15:49.Nottingham to get it done. In the fourth of our series on breast

:15:49. > :15:59.cancer, our health correspondent Rob Sissons reports on one woman

:15:59. > :16:06.

:16:06. > :16:10.Nipple tattooing, it does not hurt and does not take long. It is a

:16:10. > :16:16.finishing touch to this woman's breast reconstruction. Did not hurt

:16:16. > :16:20.at all because the area is quite normal any way from the

:16:20. > :16:30.reconstruction, bringing the muscle from the back area. That is one of

:16:30. > :16:30.

:16:30. > :16:35.the procedures they do. It was brilliant. No Payne, nothing.

:16:35. > :16:41.medical tattooing. It is to place pigments within the skin around the

:16:41. > :16:48.reconstruction. We initially pigment the Arizona area of the

:16:48. > :16:52.nipple and the very last bit is the nipple area itself -- the area

:16:52. > :16:59.around the nipple. The team can match the pigments to the patient's

:16:59. > :17:09.skin colour. It can fade but the results should last year's. It is

:17:09. > :17:11.

:17:11. > :17:14.like back to normal. You feel back to normal.

:17:14. > :17:21.Liz is very great for and has this message for others fighting breast

:17:21. > :17:25.cancer of. Don't be frightened of anything because they can do many

:17:25. > :17:32.things to bring it back to normal and get rid of the cancer you have

:17:32. > :17:34.got. And the good news, patients like Liz can go home straight after

:17:34. > :17:39.the procedure that takes about one hour.

:17:39. > :17:49.Tomorrow night, we meet the cancer survivor offering other patients

:17:49. > :17:51.

:17:51. > :17:57.with different forms of the disease There is so much care out there, it

:17:57. > :18:03.is inspiring. For Liz was wonderful to do that as well and help others.

:18:03. > :18:06.Time for the sport. First tonight, Leicester City are

:18:06. > :18:11.edging closer to finding a new manager to replace Sven-Goran

:18:11. > :18:13.Eriksson. But who will it be? This evening it look likes there won't

:18:13. > :18:19.be an emotional return for a fans' favourite as Natalie Jackson

:18:19. > :18:23.reports. The newspapers are saying that

:18:23. > :18:27.Martin O'Neill has ruled himself out of the Leicester job. In the

:18:27. > :18:32.meantime, the two men in caretaker charge had been preparing the team

:18:32. > :18:40.for this weekend's game at West Ham. Academy director John Roy Keane and

:18:40. > :18:45.goalie coach Mike Starr will have been here before. It is like having

:18:45. > :18:50.your newborn baby and when it is sick, you give it back and say

:18:50. > :18:54.thank you very much. Fun at times but long-term, it ages you. It is

:18:54. > :18:59.certainly a pressure job. On Monday, Sven-Goran Eriksson was sacked

:18:59. > :19:03.after just one year in charge. Sven-Goran Eriksson was terrific

:19:03. > :19:10.around the football club and it is part and parcel of football clubs.

:19:10. > :19:15.It is difficult and you see it up and down the country. It is so cut-

:19:15. > :19:22.throats and we have to now move forward and the most important

:19:22. > :19:26.thing is getting the right response on Saturday. And what a night to be

:19:26. > :19:32.looking after. What do we have to say to the players? Not a lot, West

:19:32. > :19:42.Ham at West Ham. Fantastic games. Leicester City ambassador Alan

:19:42. > :19:48.Birchall started the club's Poppy Appeal and 20 has seen 22 managers.

:19:48. > :19:51.-- and has seen 22 managers. Nottingham Forest manager Steve

:19:52. > :19:54.Cotterill says it was a major coup to land new left back, Greg

:19:54. > :19:57.Cunningham. Cunningham has joined the Reds on an emergency loan from

:19:57. > :20:01.Manchester City and has been training with his new team-mates

:20:01. > :20:10.this week. And Cotterill believes the Republic of Ireland

:20:10. > :20:16.international will be a valuable addition to his squad. To get him

:20:16. > :20:20.in, he had a bad injury at Leicester, we are hoping he will

:20:20. > :20:29.bring his youthful exuberance to the team. Excellent footballer, a

:20:29. > :20:32.lovely left-foot. We need to give He may be just 15 but as they say

:20:32. > :20:34.in football, if you're good enough, you're old enough. Schoolboy

:20:34. > :20:37.striker Mason Bennett who became Derby's youngest ever player to

:20:37. > :20:40.start a game at the weekend against Middlesbrough will be included in

:20:40. > :20:43.the Rams squad to face Portsmouth at Pride Park on Saturday.

:20:43. > :20:47.Onto ice hockey now, and the Nottingham Panthers returned to

:20:47. > :20:50.winning ways in the Elite League last night. They managed a

:20:50. > :20:53.comfortable 6-0 victory against the Dundee Stars. Matt Francis with

:20:54. > :20:56.this one in the first period and things really got going in the

:20:56. > :21:01.third. Four goals in as many minutes sets things up nicely for

:21:01. > :21:06.Panthers' top of the table clash against Belfast this weekend.

:21:06. > :21:09.Now it's rugby, but not as you know it. Fans could be in for a bit of a

:21:09. > :21:12.shock when Nottingham take on London Scottish at Meadow Lane on

:21:12. > :21:22.Sunday. It's Ladies' Day so we sent our own very ladylike Kirsty

:21:22. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:27.Nottingham's players hard at training, looking all began Bauch.

:21:27. > :21:33.But that is not the word you would use to describe the shirts they

:21:33. > :21:39.will be wearing. -- big and manly. They are wearing them purely for

:21:39. > :21:46.research purposes. The boys don't mind wearing them. They do say real

:21:46. > :21:50.men in wear pink. I quite like it! A bit of a change, makes a big

:21:50. > :21:56.difference. These shirts are especially for Ladies' Day and will

:21:56. > :21:59.be auctioned off afterwards for breast cancer care. It is a

:21:59. > :22:04.fantastic cause and little statements like this go a long way.

:22:04. > :22:10.The guys are happy about it. We will see how it looks on some day.

:22:10. > :22:18.Nottingham want to get more women watching, starting with Sunday's

:22:18. > :22:27.match. When a night watching men walk around with pink shirts on and

:22:27. > :22:34.little short! And Davies was watching that piece very closely! -

:22:34. > :22:37.Autumn is that very busy time of the year when most of our wildlife

:22:37. > :22:40.is either setting off on a mammoth migration to warmer climes or

:22:40. > :22:43.building up food stores for the winter hibernation. But, as the

:22:43. > :22:53.Sally Goes Wild team soon discover, some of our East Midlands wildlife

:22:53. > :22:53.

:22:53. > :22:59.has something else entirely more This time of year, Woodlands Eckert

:22:59. > :23:03.to the sounds of roaring and grunting. Males showing off their

:23:03. > :23:08.virility in gladiatorial displays to determine who is the strongest.

:23:08. > :23:18.But this is no ordinary stag party, this is the deer rut and we are

:23:18. > :23:20.

:23:20. > :23:26.We are back again with head warden, Dale, who over the years had

:23:26. > :23:32.witnessed many displays at Calke Abbey. This is the main one who has

:23:32. > :23:37.repositioned with his group. They have found a tree with acorns

:23:37. > :23:41.underneath it. He is picking it up to eat it. Tell me, why is it that

:23:41. > :23:45.you have just got this one who seems to have not much competition.

:23:45. > :23:51.He is the biggest Stagg at the moment. We did have a couple of

:23:51. > :23:55.others but they were both killed last year. We are not sure if it

:23:55. > :24:00.was then fighting with him. The other stags are now younger. It

:24:00. > :24:10.does not appear as if he has much competition. It is simply based on

:24:10. > :24:13.

:24:13. > :24:21.Taking his frustration out on the grass. Is that what he is doing?

:24:21. > :24:26.Quite a bit of damage to this trio, why is that? A lot has fallen down

:24:26. > :24:36.and the box and stags have a bit of aggression and they get a chance to

:24:36. > :24:39.

:24:39. > :24:43.fight it. When they are fighting it, Although this may be play fighting

:24:43. > :24:48.now, in a few years' time, this could be a fight for survival.

:24:48. > :24:54.The younger stags that we saw over there who are having a bit of a

:24:55. > :25:03.play fight together, is there and age where they are mature enough?

:25:03. > :25:07.The ones with the small, pointy antlers are not old enough. They

:25:07. > :25:17.are nice animals but they are not mature. They think they are, they

:25:17. > :25:28.

:25:28. > :25:31.It is true, they are show-offs at this time of year.

:25:31. > :25:37.We have not seen any action today but we have certainly heard them.

:25:37. > :25:42.Being so close to them has been quite amazing and you too can enjoy

:25:42. > :25:52.this wildlife spectacle right on your doorstep.

:25:52. > :25:57.

:25:57. > :26:01.The poor old things surrounding And now for a look at the weather.

:26:01. > :26:05.We have needed the rain that has been with us since the early hours

:26:05. > :26:10.of this morning and it seems like a distant past when we saw skies like

:26:10. > :26:14.this, they were captured at Belton House by Graham, thank you for that

:26:14. > :26:19.picture. We will see those brighter skies returning but you might have

:26:19. > :26:22.to wait until the weekend. We have the band of rain with us and it is

:26:22. > :26:27.travelling north and east through this evening. Still producing some

:26:27. > :26:30.heavy bursts of rain and then the skies start to Clear and the

:26:30. > :26:37.temperatures will then start to drop certainly across the north of

:26:37. > :26:40.the region. A slight frost in rural areas but we also have to contend

:26:40. > :26:46.with fog if you are travelling first thing tomorrow and it could

:26:46. > :26:49.be quite dense and it will linger. The winds will remain quite light

:26:49. > :26:54.through the daytime. The odd fog patch that remains with us into the

:26:54. > :26:58.afternoon but for most of us, it will be a brighter story by the end

:26:58. > :27:01.of the afternoon. Daytime temperatures at around 14 Celsius.

:27:01. > :27:08.A weather front across the south- east corner, that will work its way

:27:08. > :27:12.up again. We are sandwiched in between a band of rain across the

:27:12. > :27:16.north-west to the bit in the middle getting the brighter story on

:27:16. > :27:20.Saturday and on Sunday, we have got low-pressure not very far away and

:27:20. > :27:24.that will control the winds more on Sunday. It will increase but it is

:27:24. > :27:27.coming from the south-west so a milder direction and that will help
