:00:01. > :00:07.This is East Midlands Today, with Kylie Pentelow and me, Dominic
:00:07. > :00:12.Heale. Our top story tonight: The Mayor of Leicester's pay rise -
:00:12. > :00:16.now Number Ten steps in. Sir Peter Soulsby could be payed
:00:16. > :00:18.100,000 a year. The Government says he'd be wrong to take it.
:00:18. > :00:25.Hardworking taxpayers are seeing their income and living standards
:00:25. > :00:28.under pressure. And Sir Peter thinks it's a good idea to increase
:00:28. > :00:34.his pay! Also, the hospital charging
:00:34. > :00:37.disabled patients and visitors for parking. I thought that was the
:00:37. > :00:47.reason for the disabled badge. So you didn't pay.
:00:47. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:54.Plus, New York, New York. The first ever direct flight from here to the
:00:55. > :01:00.Big Apple. And we have got choirs, tables with
:01:00. > :01:10.award winners and even athletes ready to do their thing. It can
:01:10. > :01:14.only be the BBC East Midlands Good evening, welcome to Thursday's
:01:15. > :01:21.programme. First tonight, the continuing row over a mayor and his
:01:21. > :01:26.proposed pay package of �100,000. It's the equivalent of an 80% pay
:01:26. > :01:31.rise. Today, Leicester's mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby, said he wants to
:01:31. > :01:35.consult further before reaching any final decision on his pay packet.
:01:35. > :01:42.The Government says he shouldn't bother. He should just turn it down.
:01:42. > :01:46.Here's our political editor, John Hess.
:01:46. > :01:51.This is a city where a political row is fast resembling the Mad
:01:51. > :01:56.Hatter's Tea Party. Leicester's mayor, said Peter Salsbury, was
:01:56. > :02:01.today dusting down a portrait of one of his predecessors. There is
:02:01. > :02:07.nothing new about politicians and cash. His proposed pay packet
:02:07. > :02:14.recommended by an independent panel at �100,000 has caused a storm.
:02:14. > :02:19.is inevitably controversial in terms of the savage cuts we are
:02:19. > :02:26.seeing. It is no more than recommendations at this stage.
:02:26. > :02:34.Boris Johnson gets �145,000. The mayor of Mansfield is paid �53,000.
:02:34. > :02:39.The Doncaster mayor cut his own pay in half. He now gets �32,000. So
:02:39. > :02:43.what is Peter Mackworth? He should show some moral gumption and say,
:02:43. > :02:47.even if this is a recommendation, I am not going to take it. That is
:02:47. > :02:51.for the people of Leicester to decide. It is certainly the case
:02:51. > :02:55.that as a result of having an elected mayor, I have managed to do
:02:55. > :03:00.away with the office of chief executive, whose salary in total
:03:00. > :03:05.was costing the council �250,000. In this particular role, who is
:03:05. > :03:10.holding the winning cards? Peter Max says it will be up to the
:03:10. > :03:16.people of Leicester in a further round of consultation. -- Sir Peter
:03:16. > :03:19.Soulsby says. He needs to do more for our city. There are places in
:03:19. > :03:26.the public sector which could use that money better. That is far too
:03:27. > :03:31.much. I would say inner. We have not got anything that I have said
:03:31. > :03:35.or recommended myself, and I have not got anything that the council
:03:35. > :03:41.has decided on. The final decision is being deferred until the New
:03:41. > :03:43.year. This pay row could turn on its head all over again.
:03:43. > :03:48.Next tonight, hospital bosses have been defending their decision to
:03:48. > :03:52.charge disabled drivers for parking. Blue Badge holders will no longer
:03:52. > :03:55.be exempt from the fees. Managers at Kings Mill and Newark Hospitals
:03:55. > :03:59.in Nottinghamshire insist the change is all about being fair and
:03:59. > :04:09.not about raising money. But the local MP is urging the hospital to
:04:09. > :04:11.
:04:12. > :04:16.reconsider, as Simon Hare reports. Parking in a disabled spot here at
:04:16. > :04:22.Kings Mill Hospital used to be free. That was for Blue Badge holders.
:04:22. > :04:30.Now it will set you back one pound 50 for up to an hour and �3 for up
:04:30. > :04:35.to four hours. It is disgraceful. Nobody asks to be disabled. And you
:04:35. > :04:40.get appointments. Nobody comes to you, you have to go to them. What
:04:40. > :04:46.can you do? At the moment, only kidney dialysis and cancer patients
:04:46. > :04:50.will not have to pay. Those will be along with certain patients on
:04:50. > :04:56.certain benefits. But the hospitals say the new charges are not
:04:56. > :05:01.motivated by making money. It is not about income, it is about
:05:01. > :05:06.equity, having a fair charging policy. But it will earn you more
:05:06. > :05:10.money? Possibly, but it is about having a fair policy and
:05:10. > :05:15.maintaining our high quality and fair car-parks. I thought that was
:05:15. > :05:22.the reason for the disabled batch. So that you didn't pay. -- the
:05:22. > :05:27.disabled badge. But you don't get anything free at the centre either.
:05:27. > :05:32.All parking charges are wrong, but this one introduced last week seems
:05:32. > :05:35.particularly wrong to me and I am urging them to reconsider.
:05:35. > :05:41.Disability Nottinghamshire says it has received calls from people
:05:41. > :05:46.worried about the new charges and it penalises the disabled because
:05:46. > :05:50.they have to make more trips to of spittle than others. But hospitals
:05:50. > :05:53.say it is the first time in four years they have looked at their
:05:53. > :06:03.parking charges. So, should disabled drivers have to
:06:03. > :06:07.pay for their hospital parking? email or tweet to the addresses on
:06:07. > :06:14.your screen. We'll try to read some of them out at the end of the
:06:14. > :06:17.Still to come on the programme, what a difference a year makes. We
:06:17. > :06:27.catch up with the heart patient whose life was saved by a robotic
:06:27. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:31.But next tonight, news of a massive boost for employment in the East
:06:31. > :06:36.Midlands tonight, with the prospect of more than 2,000 jobs being
:06:36. > :06:38.created. The vehicle testing and research company MIRA has been
:06:39. > :06:48.given the go-ahead for a �300 million redevelopment of its site
:06:49. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:55.near Hinckley, in Leicestershire, as Simon Ward reports.
:06:55. > :07:00.With unemployment increasing, the planning approval to redevelop the
:07:00. > :07:04.site is a major boost for jobs and investment in our region. More than
:07:04. > :07:09.30 companies involved in transport technology are involved here, with
:07:09. > :07:13.MIRA being the largest. They said the creation of thousands of new
:07:13. > :07:17.jobs is not just hype. They are genuine jobs and over the ten-year
:07:17. > :07:24.period, this is probably a conservative estimate. We have
:07:24. > :07:29.already created over 165 positions here at MIRA in the last year. It
:07:29. > :07:34.involves apprenticeships and graduate trainee schemes right up
:07:34. > :07:38.to engineers. The development includes almost �20 million from
:07:38. > :07:42.the Regional Growth Fund from the Government. It is hoped many local
:07:42. > :07:47.people will find jobs here in the next few years. With so many young
:07:47. > :07:51.people unemployed, we have got to fight back, and I see this as part
:07:51. > :07:55.of it. We have got to get young people motivated and trained and
:07:56. > :08:00.get them into jobs, and this could not have come at a more important
:08:00. > :08:03.time. I very much hope local schools, colleges and training
:08:03. > :08:09.facilities will look to this facility and tried to get young
:08:09. > :08:14.people up and running so they are fit and trained and motivated to
:08:14. > :08:18.come into work and come into the first class, world-class work this
:08:18. > :08:23.opportunity opened up for everybody. The work going on here has been
:08:23. > :08:28.approved but now the entire 850 acres site and Rhodes will be
:08:28. > :08:32.improved, with the latest phase starting next year. In the Second
:08:32. > :08:37.World War, this was RAF Linley, where Second World War bombers and
:08:37. > :08:40.Spitfires flew on missions. Now, with the latest development, the
:08:40. > :08:44.latest technology will continue to be developed here.
:08:44. > :08:46.Some good news there. Meanwhile, jobs are also being
:08:46. > :08:49.created in the region's pharmacuetical industry. Dozens of
:08:49. > :08:55.small firms have sprung up from the closure of a major Leicestershire
:08:55. > :09:00.company almost two years ago. Here's Anthony Bartram.
:09:00. > :09:04.The business of drug discovery in the UK is taking a worrying turn.
:09:04. > :09:13.In 18 months, this multi-billion pound industry has shed over 4,000
:09:13. > :09:16.jobs. Astra Zeneca's decision to close its research centre in
:09:16. > :09:21.Loughborough forced hundreds of staff to take a long, hard look at
:09:21. > :09:27.their futures. Top scientists have now decided to set up their own
:09:27. > :09:31.companies. Where there is threat, there is also opportunity. I wanted
:09:31. > :09:41.to do something like this for a while and I feel it was a
:09:41. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:47.springboard to actually set this up. He is one of 6 ex-employees who has
:09:47. > :09:54.helped set up this BioCity. Scientists, along with business
:09:54. > :09:58.experts, hot set-up at the centre. If they each grid to the scale of
:09:58. > :10:03.some of the other companies we had here, we could put back half of
:10:03. > :10:11.those jobs. -- if they each Grove. That would be a great thing to
:10:11. > :10:17.achieve. If 700 people work for many companies here. Seven years
:10:17. > :10:23.down the line, this is what they are aiming for. Growing from five
:10:23. > :10:28.to 60 staff. �500 million is the turnover each year. It turns over
:10:28. > :10:35.the engines of discovery and development. The big pharmaceutical
:10:35. > :10:39.companies are now developing. BioCity continues to grow, building
:10:39. > :10:43.new laboratories and encouraging new companies to move in. And that
:10:43. > :10:48.is providing a safe passage for those who have found themselves on
:10:48. > :10:57.the wrong end of a larger company contracting last year but on the
:10:57. > :11:00.right end of a new of one expanding today. -- eight new were one.
:11:00. > :11:03.Three men have been arrested in connection with a fire at a factory
:11:03. > :11:06.in Derbyshire. More than 30 firefighters were called to the
:11:06. > :11:08.blaze at Breaston yesterday afternoon. All three men were
:11:08. > :11:10.arrested on suspicion of the production of cannabis after police
:11:10. > :11:14.found what they believe to be cannabis-growing equipment inside
:11:14. > :11:24.the factory. They remain in custody and are being questioned by
:11:24. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:30.officers. The Bush, if it is cannabis, will burn and burn
:11:30. > :11:35.readily. They are packed and are close and they ignite readily, and
:11:35. > :11:39.because they are in these shelters, the fire remains undetected until
:11:39. > :11:43.it gets serious. It reached the roof and people saw smoke and
:11:43. > :11:46.flames coming out of what they think is an empty building or
:11:46. > :11:49.fabrication works. The former leader of Derby City
:11:49. > :11:52.Council has been bound over to keep the peace after an assault charge
:11:52. > :11:55.against him was dropped. Harvey Jennings had been due to stand
:11:55. > :11:59.trial today for allegedly attacking his former wife, Jane, just days
:11:59. > :12:03.before the local elections last May. He was forced to stand down as
:12:03. > :12:13.Conservative leader but he remains a city councillor. Both he and his
:12:13. > :12:17.ex-wife were ordered by the judge to behave for the next six months.
:12:17. > :12:22.The judge went on to describe him as being a man of good character.
:12:22. > :12:27.The effect of this prosecution has been profound and long-lasting. Mr
:12:27. > :12:32.Jennings hopes matters may now be put behind him and everybody else.
:12:32. > :12:35.And that everybody be reconciled between family members.
:12:35. > :12:39.The prospect of regular direct flights from here to New York has
:12:39. > :12:42.moved a step closer. A plane bound for the Big Apple took off this
:12:42. > :12:45.morning, with all the seats snapped up months ago. The airport
:12:45. > :12:55.authorities believe there could be huge demand for more flights to
:12:55. > :13:00.
:13:00. > :13:05.America, as James Roberson reports. New York, New York, so good that
:13:05. > :13:11.all the razzmatazz was laid on for the first ever flight from East
:13:11. > :13:15.Midlands to the Red Apple. There may have been the red carpet,
:13:15. > :13:19.bagels, fizz and orange juice, but it was the relative bargain price
:13:19. > :13:23.of this flight that tempted the Christmas shopaholics, and they
:13:23. > :13:29.were snapped up. A shopping, going to the theatre and a bit more
:13:29. > :13:34.shopping! It was a weekend in London or New York for the 21st.
:13:34. > :13:38.And the East Midlands did it. Everybody I spoke to said, are you
:13:38. > :13:48.going from the East Midlands? Nobody knows about it. More of it!
:13:48. > :13:48.
:13:49. > :13:52.We should see more. All 210 seats on the plane was sold. Do you think
:13:52. > :13:56.there will be more flights like this? We will look at the feedback
:13:56. > :14:00.and then see where we can operate again. As the aeroplane prepared
:14:00. > :14:06.for take-off, the airport authorities were also considering
:14:06. > :14:11.other flight to America. It is a question of proving the demand to
:14:11. > :14:14.the airline. We know it is there. We have 600 people in the region
:14:15. > :14:19.flying to America but they are not using the airport. They are going
:14:19. > :14:29.to Gatwick or Heathrow. It is making sure those passengers can
:14:29. > :14:32.fly from this airport. A long way to go for some shopping!
:14:32. > :14:36.But worth it! He was the first patient in the
:14:36. > :14:38.world to have an innovative heart procedure. Patrick Flood from Derby
:14:38. > :14:41.used to suffer chest pains, breathlessness and black-outs
:14:41. > :14:46.because of an irregular heart rhythm. Then he had an operation
:14:46. > :14:49.where surgeons used a robotic arm alongside a 3D mapping system. One
:14:49. > :14:59.year on, it has made a real difference, as our health
:14:59. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:03.correspondent, Rob Sissons, reports. Patrick was a constant medication
:15:03. > :15:11.at home for his life-threatening irregular heart rhythm. Atrial
:15:11. > :15:16.fibrillation is a common heart condition. What a difference,
:15:16. > :15:24.though, 12 months can make. His life under a cloud is now a
:15:24. > :15:27.horrible memory. Virtually blacking out almost on a daily basis. Almost
:15:27. > :15:34.in a permanent fibrillation, they call it, when your heart is like
:15:34. > :15:39.that. It is a thing of the past and I am Tokyo recovered. No pain,
:15:39. > :15:45.fainting, giddiness. -- I am totally recovered. Pat propofol
:15:45. > :15:53.owes his life to this robotic arm. It is part of a 3D mapping system
:15:53. > :16:02.at hospital. -- Patrick owes his life. As you can imagine, it is
:16:02. > :16:09.delicate work. Mm matter. The hard wall is thin, so we have to be
:16:09. > :16:13.careful. Since this, 29 other patients have undergone the
:16:13. > :16:17.procedure with the robot. The robot is steadier than a human hand,
:16:17. > :16:22.which is usually used in the conventional operation. When it
:16:22. > :16:25.comes to guiding catheters to the heart. The added benefit of the
:16:26. > :16:30.robotic technique is that it gives us the precision over all we can do
:16:30. > :16:40.by hand. Immensely privileged to see that I can access this at the
:16:40. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:48.point of need. The arm even has a name. It is the Spanish word for
:16:48. > :16:51.friend. Now for a different approach to
:16:51. > :16:53.tackling crime that you could say really gets to the root of the
:16:53. > :16:56.problem. The Royal Horticultural Society claims community gardening
:16:56. > :16:59.projects can improve neighbourhoods and reduce the number of offences
:16:59. > :17:02.committed. And there's a really good example of that right here in
:17:02. > :17:08.the East Midlands. Mel Coles reports from a community gardening
:17:08. > :17:12.scheme in Nottingham. It might be November but there is
:17:12. > :17:17.still plenty to do at Arkwright Meadows Community Gardens. Set up
:17:17. > :17:21.nearly 10 years ago, it is now a key part of the neighbourhood.
:17:21. > :17:25.can't be a bad thing that people are living in a community which is
:17:25. > :17:30.beautiful. People come to visit and look at the hanging baskets and the
:17:30. > :17:34.tomatoes growing in the streets. That for me has to impact on crime
:17:34. > :17:38.and how people look after the neighbourhood and how they feel
:17:38. > :17:42.about the neighbourhood in which they live. The report suggests
:17:42. > :17:46.garden in is the glue that binds and builds neighbourhoods.
:17:46. > :17:50.Something the volunteers agree with wholeheartedly. It has had a very
:17:50. > :17:57.positive effect on the community because it is some way people are
:17:57. > :18:01.proud of. A lot of people come around and they buy the produce.
:18:01. > :18:07.grow different kinds of vegetables from all over the world and it
:18:07. > :18:12.really encourages good neighbours and it is great. I like to come
:18:13. > :18:17.down and volunteer and I have been volunteering for six years now.
:18:17. > :18:20.Arkwright Meadows Community Gardens is not resting on its laurels. A
:18:20. > :18:26.new concert trading futures building is going up to encourage
:18:26. > :18:30.even more people to get involved. - - a new conservation trading
:18:30. > :18:34.futures building. But impressive tomatoes!
:18:34. > :18:37.It's an exciting night for our sports team. It's the big one - the
:18:37. > :18:45.BBC East Midlands Sports Awards at Loughborough University, as glitzy
:18:45. > :18:49.and dramatic as ever, and Colin is there with the team.
:18:49. > :18:55.Not quite providing the glitz but I am really looking forward to this
:18:55. > :19:00.evening. We are just about ready here in the sports hall. Take a
:19:00. > :19:05.look around you. The tables are ready for the VIPs. Many have
:19:05. > :19:11.arrived already out of the athletes because they are so excited. And
:19:11. > :19:19.down here are the awards, including the big ones of the unsung hero and
:19:19. > :19:24.our BBC East Midlands Sports personality. And we put on an awful
:19:24. > :19:27.lot of entertainment for people here as well. As well as
:19:27. > :19:32.recognising the very best sports people and coaches from around the
:19:32. > :19:39.region. Let's give you a taster of what people will see this evening.
:19:39. > :19:43.We will have a BMX floor show by one of the UK's but very, very best.
:19:43. > :19:50.He is called Keelan Phillips and earlier, he was showing off to
:19:50. > :19:55.Natalie. This is Keelan Phillips. He is a
:19:55. > :20:00.BMX rider and a world-class one. This is the cliffhanger, just one
:20:00. > :20:04.of the tricks he will be doing tonight. He has been on the X
:20:04. > :20:11.Factor, Blue Peter and the Channel 4 concrete circus. You have done a
:20:11. > :20:17.lot? I guess so! A lot of shows and demonstrations over the world.
:20:17. > :20:22.can the audience tonight expect to see? I am doing a three-minute show
:20:22. > :20:27.so I will be showing them lots of tricks. Hopefully nothing like it.
:20:27. > :20:32.What is your big event next year? will be at the opening ceremony of
:20:32. > :20:38.the Olympics. The Olympics has introduced BMX racing, which is so
:20:38. > :20:44.good for BMX. How do you train for these shows? You are number one but
:20:44. > :20:49.you win contests as well as performing? Yes. If I haven't got a
:20:49. > :20:59.day where I am performing, I will be training and on my bike. Keeping
:20:59. > :21:04.
:21:04. > :21:07.fit. One more trick for us? What is this one? Keelan is just one of the
:21:07. > :21:14.acts we have here tonight at the Sports Awards at Loughborough
:21:14. > :21:20.University. Now back over to Colin, with another. Yes. Let's meet
:21:20. > :21:25.another of the key people here this evening. Sam Hunter will come in
:21:25. > :21:29.and join us just before we bring you some sports news. Spectacular
:21:29. > :21:36.entrance there. And you will be putting on a full performance later
:21:36. > :21:46.on? Yes. I will be on the pommel horse in front of everybody and I
:21:46. > :21:50.am privileged to be asked to do it. You spend so much time over in the
:21:50. > :21:54.hall over there and you never get a chance to show us what you can do?
:21:54. > :22:00.Yes. I am looking forward to showing everybody the work we do
:22:00. > :22:05.next door in the gym. It is a state-of-the-art facility with
:22:05. > :22:09.doctors and Visios on hand. Hopefully, the work we do will pay
:22:09. > :22:15.off next year at the Olympics. talk about these facilities. How
:22:15. > :22:18.much difference does it make to you? A massive difference. I have
:22:18. > :22:24.been here for the last few years and my gymnastics have gone from
:22:24. > :22:33.strength to strength. Hopefully next year, it will pay off. I was
:22:33. > :22:39.going to ask you about that. There is an Olympics theme? And you have
:22:39. > :22:44.all the squad? Yes. It is a childhood dream. I am looking
:22:44. > :22:47.forward to it. It is an exciting time. Hopefully you will be back
:22:47. > :22:53.next year and part of the exhibition. Thank you very much
:22:53. > :23:03.indeed. That is Sam Hunter, who has a real chance of going to the
:23:03. > :23:06.
:23:06. > :23:08.Olympics. Onto the sports news, and Martin
:23:08. > :23:12.Guptill will return as Derbyshire's overseas cricketer until the middle
:23:12. > :23:14.of June. And the Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cotterill says he's
:23:14. > :23:18.not tempted to rush Dexter Blackstock into action any time
:23:18. > :23:21.soon. The striker has spent a year on the sidelines because of a knee
:23:21. > :23:30.injury, but played in a behind- closed-doors game earlier in the
:23:30. > :23:35.week. There is no point in throwing him back in if we feel he is not
:23:35. > :23:41.there. But as I say, he has every day of the week to knock on my door,
:23:41. > :23:46.not literally! But he is a great lad and he wants to be back. We
:23:46. > :23:52.have to make sure we bring him back at the right time. You can feel it
:23:52. > :23:57.building up. There is quite a hush in here even with the crowds. There
:23:57. > :24:02.is the stage where the awards will be presented from. You can see
:24:02. > :24:05.highlights on BBC East Midlands Today tomorrow, and you want to
:24:05. > :24:13.watch, because they will be doing something spectacular with that
:24:13. > :24:20.high jump. You are all looking forward to it, aren't you? Yes!
:24:20. > :24:24.This time tomorrow another big night will be getting underway.
:24:24. > :24:27.Here's a clue! Children in Need, of course. And in this region, the
:24:27. > :24:31.main event will be happening live at Loughborough University. A very
:24:31. > :24:34.popular venue by the look of it! Your hosts will be Anne Davies and
:24:34. > :24:39.CBBC's Sam and Mark. There'll be a special Children in Need choir.
:24:39. > :24:41.CHILDREN SINGING. Nearly 200 children from schools including
:24:41. > :24:47.Loughborough Endowed Schools and Lancaster Boys' School from
:24:47. > :24:51.Leicester. The plan is for a unique live link-up with 12 other choirs
:24:51. > :25:01.around the UK. A lot of hard work has gone into an event that
:25:01. > :25:01.
:25:01. > :25:05.promises to be a real spectacle. Great! Time to read some of your
:25:05. > :25:10.messages you send us about that disabled parking and having to pay
:25:11. > :25:15.for it. Stacey's says, I don't think anybody should have to pay
:25:15. > :25:18.for hospital parking. It is a stealth tax on the ill and their
:25:18. > :25:25.relatives. Disabled drivers get more than
:25:25. > :25:29.enough motoring help like mobility allowances. Not paying tax, etc.
:25:29. > :25:35.That is from Sean. And Elaine says, Derby already
:25:35. > :25:39.charges for Blue Badge holders. They should pay the same as non-
:25:39. > :25:49.disabled users. Thank you for your messages. Time
:25:49. > :25:49.
:25:50. > :25:54.Thank you. We have had nice sunny skies over the East Midlands today.
:25:54. > :26:00.November has so far been much milder, about three degrees above
:26:00. > :26:04.average. Around half the rainfall we usually expect but the cloudy
:26:04. > :26:12.skies that of very typical, those we have had, that is for sure.
:26:12. > :26:20.Staying mild with that breeze, but today was an exception, because we
:26:20. > :26:25.did not get the usual skies for November. They were sunny instead.
:26:25. > :26:31.David took this lovely picture in Nottingham. Send your pictures to
:26:31. > :26:35.the address above. Let's take a look at the forecast. Another
:26:35. > :26:40.weather front is working its way into the West, but for us, we will
:26:41. > :26:46.see the cloud building in from the West, most of us staying dry with
:26:46. > :26:51.the exception of a few spots over the Peak District. Temperatures
:26:51. > :26:59.will stay mild and the breeze will increase. Temperatures dipping to
:26:59. > :27:04.around eight degrees. Tomorrow, a much brighter start because we will
:27:04. > :27:08.see those clear skies with us from the word go. Sunshine as we go
:27:09. > :27:14.through the course of tomorrow, with temperatures still on the mild
:27:14. > :27:18.side, but a breezy day overall. Temperatures potentially getting up
:27:18. > :27:23.to 14 degrees, which is pretty good going for the middle of November.
:27:23. > :27:28.As we head to the weekend, we are staying mainly dry if you are out
:27:28. > :27:32.and about. Saturday will cloud Arafat a bit and on Sunday, eight
