:00:03. > :00:05.This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and Dominic Heale. Our

:00:05. > :00:15.top story tonight - the talented young footballer who died smuggling

:00:15. > :00:16.

:00:16. > :00:18.drugs. Reece Staples died in police custody after a packet of cocaine

:00:18. > :00:26.he had swallowed burst. Also tonight, the mystery rescuer

:00:26. > :00:30.who saved a five-year-old girl from drowning. I would like to say thank

:00:30. > :00:33.you for carrying me home and getting me out of the river.

:00:33. > :00:42.Plus, a rare music for a rare instrument, a long-lost Elgar is

:00:42. > :00:45.found in Loughborough. He had to have his arm twisted to write it. I

:00:45. > :00:49.don't think he was keen to write it because it was an instrument he was

:00:49. > :00:59.not familiar with. And the wedding film finally

:00:59. > :01:03.

:01:03. > :01:06.reunited with the happy couple, 52 Good evening. Welcome to

:01:06. > :01:08.Wednesday's programme. Police officers have told an inquest they

:01:08. > :01:15.deeply regret not believing a teenager who told them he'd

:01:15. > :01:20.swallowed cocaine which he'd smuggled in from Costa Rica. They

:01:20. > :01:23.were later disciplined for gross misconduct. 19-year-old Reece

:01:23. > :01:26.Staples was a former Nottingham Forest Academy player. He died

:01:26. > :01:29.after one of the 19 packets he'd swallowed burst, releasing a fatal

:01:29. > :01:34.dose of the drug. Our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner was at

:01:34. > :01:42.today's hearing. In June 2009 Reece Staples returned

:01:42. > :01:44.from a trip to Costa Rica. Inside his stomach were 19 packets of

:01:44. > :01:50.cocaine which he'd swallowed a week before and smuggled into the

:01:50. > :01:54.country. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, he went to the

:01:54. > :01:56.house shared by his aunt and uncle in Old Basford and started smashing

:01:56. > :01:59.the windscreens of their cars and hitting their front door. Witnesses

:01:59. > :02:01.said he seemed very agitated and repeatedly shouted, "I'm going to

:02:01. > :02:04.die". He was arrested and taken to

:02:04. > :02:07.Oxclose Lane Station in Nottingham where four hours later he collapsed

:02:07. > :02:10.and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. The inquest heard from

:02:10. > :02:16.some of the five police officers who were later disciplined for

:02:16. > :02:18.gross misconduct for their handling of the case. When the teenager was

:02:18. > :02:23.arrested in Old Basford he told the officers he'd swallowed cocaine

:02:23. > :02:25.from Costa Rica, it had burst and he was going to die. But the

:02:25. > :02:31.officer who spoke to him dismissed his comments because he'd already

:02:31. > :02:34.lied about having a knife and tried to run away from them. Sergeant

:02:34. > :02:37.Neil Haynes said he hadn't been trained to spot the symptoms of

:02:37. > :02:42.cocaine overdose. He said, "I should have asked more questions. I

:02:42. > :02:45.wish I had and I clearly regret that". The arresting officer, PC

:02:46. > :02:48.Ben Hensell said he failed in his duties in not telling the custody

:02:48. > :02:55.sergeant straight away about Reece claiming to have swallowed cocaine.

:02:55. > :02:57.When he did later, nothing was done. Dr David Rouse, a forensic

:02:57. > :03:05.pathologist, said whatever time Reece was taken to hospital he

:03:05. > :03:10.wouldn't have survived. Dr Rouse said it was impossible to say when

:03:10. > :03:13.the packet of cocaine ruptured. Cocaine levels of more than five

:03:13. > :03:18.were always fatal. Reece's level was over ten. Officers have been

:03:18. > :03:25.given updated training. In future those claiming to have swallowed

:03:25. > :03:28.drugs are taken to hospital immediately. The inquest continues.

:03:28. > :03:33.The family of a five-year-old say they're desperate to find the

:03:33. > :03:42.mystery man who apparently saved their little girl's life. Millie

:03:42. > :03:44.Chapman fell in a canal near her home in Leicester. She'd been out

:03:44. > :03:52.walking with her grandfather. Our reporter Helen Astle is at the

:03:53. > :03:56.canal this evening. It is pretty chilly here tonight

:03:56. > :03:59.but it has even called when the canal was frozen and little Milly

:03:59. > :04:08.is certainly very lucky. We were just walking along by the

:04:08. > :04:12.side of the can now and she started to trip -- by the canal. But she

:04:12. > :04:15.just fell backwards into the canal. To see her face under the water and

:04:15. > :04:22.I managed to grab a coat and pull her to the side but she stepped out

:04:22. > :04:28.of my hands and then I was able to hold her head above the water and

:04:28. > :04:34.shouting help. Quite loudly. She is now safe and at home with

:04:34. > :04:42.her mum that she remembers clearly what happened and being rescued.

:04:42. > :04:47.heard granddad shouting. And then he came and helped and I found a

:04:47. > :04:52.rock in the water, stood on that and he could get me up.

:04:52. > :04:57.After lifting her out of the canal, the mystery man carried her half-a-

:04:57. > :05:02.mile home talking to her all the time. He could have saved her life.

:05:02. > :05:06.Her grandad had got her so she was not drowning but he saved her life.

:05:06. > :05:11.It could have been a bit longer and she could have got hyperthermia or

:05:11. > :05:16.anything. We owe him everything. The family are now desperate to

:05:16. > :05:20.find the man and thank him. literally took her to the door,

:05:20. > :05:24.gave her to her grande marque and the grandmother said "please come

:05:24. > :05:29.in and get dry, have a cup of tea" and he could not and he said he

:05:29. > :05:34.needed to go so that is why we weren't able to get any name of or

:05:34. > :05:38.a phone number or address. thought it was fantastic. Amazing.

:05:38. > :05:42.I just would reveal like to have expressed my appreciation. I would

:05:42. > :05:50.like to say thank you for carrying me home and getting me out of the

:05:50. > :05:57.As you can see, she is absolutely fine. The mystery man has not come

:05:57. > :06:00.forward still but the family would love to find him to say thank you.

:06:00. > :06:03.Still to come on the programme, are Nottingham's parking charges too

:06:03. > :06:12.complicated and costly? Plus - it's all change on the weather with

:06:12. > :06:15.double digit temperatures, then a bit of a dip. Just as we get used

:06:15. > :06:25.to be milder temperatures, there's news of the colder air returning

:06:25. > :06:26.

:06:26. > :06:34.but will it be as bad as last time? Unemployment in the region has gone

:06:34. > :06:37.up again and now stands at 8.2%, just below the national average.

:06:37. > :06:45.The latest figures show that there were 188,000 people out of work

:06:45. > :06:47.between October and December. That's an increase of 1,000.

:06:47. > :06:50.Once again, the figures highlight the difficulties that young people

:06:50. > :06:52.face finding work. From Leicester, here's our political editor, John

:06:52. > :07:01.Hess. The monthly unemployment figures

:07:01. > :07:04.can mask the real picture. In this area of Leicester, the number out

:07:04. > :07:07.of work is a third higher than the regional East Midlands average.

:07:07. > :07:09.This project is helping to give young people the chance to get into

:07:09. > :07:14.the world of work. These teenagers want to build

:07:14. > :07:17.themselves better opportunities in the jobs market. This is part of a

:07:17. > :07:21.training project run by Stride. It's not a college or a Government

:07:21. > :07:28.agency, but a community based social enterprise. At the minute

:07:29. > :07:33.I'm on my NVQ level two and it's fun. I am hoping to pass it. What

:07:33. > :07:36.skills are you getting? brickwork skills and everything

:07:36. > :07:39.that comes with it. Hopefully I want to go abroad when I've

:07:40. > :07:42.qualified out in Australia and Germany, there's more work.

:07:42. > :07:44.Stride also offers training in hairdressing and carpentry. Profits

:07:44. > :07:53.from its range of services, together with some Government

:07:53. > :07:57.support, fund up to 500 places. We've got to look to the future and

:07:57. > :08:03.these people if we train them now, they'll be good employees for the

:08:03. > :08:06.rest of the lives. It's also about giving young adults the skills and

:08:07. > :08:15.confidence to put them in the driving seat. I was signing on.I

:08:15. > :08:20.couldn't find work anywhere. It was hard to find placements. When I saw

:08:20. > :08:27.this advertising, I applied for it. So I applied here and it's really

:08:27. > :08:30.helped a lot. It's got jobs in all sorts of fields. It's really good.

:08:30. > :08:33.The project was set up 12 years ago.and with David Cameron's "big

:08:33. > :08:43.society" thinking, this model of social enterprise, may get into its

:08:43. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :08:46.own stride in helping to tackle The man who died in a crash on the

:08:46. > :08:54.A46 in Leicestershire has been named as 41 year old Andrew Peel

:08:54. > :08:58.from Groby. Three vehicles were involved. Mr Peel was driving an

:08:58. > :09:00.Audi TT and died at the scene. Two other men were arrested in

:09:00. > :09:03.connection with the incident and have been released on police bail

:09:03. > :09:05.while the investigation continues. Profits at the Derbyshire based

:09:05. > :09:10.chocolate maker Thorntons have fallen sharply because of poor

:09:10. > :09:13.Christmas sales. The company's announced half-year profits, before

:09:13. > :09:18.tax, of just over �3 million. That's compared with almost �8.5

:09:18. > :09:24.million for the same time last year. Thorntons says it's going ahead

:09:24. > :09:26.with plans to close at least 120 shops.

:09:26. > :09:32.Business owners in Nottingham say new on-street parking charges

:09:32. > :09:35.introduced by the city council in November are driving customers away.

:09:35. > :09:40.Last week the council agreed to reduce the tariffs on Sundays and

:09:40. > :09:46.evenings after receiving complaints. But traders say it's just not

:09:46. > :09:52.enough. Tom Brown reports. People have been coming to this

:09:52. > :09:58.cafe in Nottingham for the last seven years. But with parking

:09:58. > :10:02.charges going up, the number of customers has been going down.

:10:02. > :10:07.People once saw it as a bonus that they could come for free and now

:10:07. > :10:15.they cannot. Also now there is a maximum stay in post of an hour

:10:15. > :10:17.which doesn't leave you much to -- much time. Last November the city

:10:17. > :10:20.council divided Nottingham into three parking zones, spread out

:10:20. > :10:23.across the city centre. It says they reflect demand, so prices vary

:10:23. > :10:26.between them, as does the amount of time you can park there for. The

:10:26. > :10:29.council also extended the existing charges into evenings and on to

:10:29. > :10:32.Sundays, and it was this that led to complaints from businesses and

:10:32. > :10:35.shoppers. They said the system was complicated and expensive. Last

:10:35. > :10:38.week the council agreed to simplify it and from April there'll be a one

:10:38. > :10:44.pound flat rate on Sundays and in the evenings. But traders are still

:10:44. > :10:47.worried. Probably they were the right changes to make but what

:10:47. > :10:51.businesses have said and turned up evenings and Sundays, the level of

:10:51. > :10:54.the charges was driving people out of the city. That is what we have

:10:54. > :11:01.heard and we have listened to it and it was the right thing to do.

:11:01. > :11:04.As a result, we have made changes. But traders are still worried. So

:11:04. > :11:10.far, more than 1,200 people have signed Jasmin's petition which

:11:10. > :11:13.calls on the council to scrap the new charges altogether. We were

:11:13. > :11:16.meant to understand this is dangerous and businesses cannot

:11:16. > :11:20.sustain losing this amount of money that some of them are. Some of them

:11:20. > :11:23.are losing more than we are and if it carries on, they are going to be

:11:23. > :11:27.seeing lots more empty shops and restaurants. What will happen to

:11:27. > :11:30.the city then? The council says the new parking system will encourage a

:11:30. > :11:36.higher turnover of shoppers and boost trade in the city. Some

:11:36. > :11:39.businesses say the opposite is happening.

:11:39. > :11:42.Nottinghamshire County Council is to press ahead with plans to shut a

:11:42. > :11:49.furniture factory staffed by people with disabilities. Sherwood

:11:49. > :11:53.Industries in Rainworth employs 40 people. The council says last year

:11:53. > :11:56.it cost more than �750,000, because orders fell. Councillors will meet

:11:56. > :11:59.next week to discuss moving the workers to other supported

:11:59. > :12:05.businesses or into mainstream employment.

:12:05. > :12:09.The Prince of Wales will be visiting Derbyshire next week.

:12:09. > :12:11.Prince Charles was last here a year ago when he was at Royal Crown

:12:11. > :12:14.Derby. This time he'll be meeting workers at the train-maker

:12:14. > :12:19.Bombardier and staff at Rolls-Royce. He'll also be touring Haddon Hall

:12:19. > :12:24.in Bakewell. The royal visit is on Friday 24th February.

:12:24. > :12:27.And now the final part of our series called Life After Loss.

:12:27. > :12:31.Tonight we look at how a ten-year- old Leicestershire girl inspired

:12:31. > :12:35.her friends and her classmates. A dance academy was set up in

:12:35. > :12:38.Bottesford following the death of Rosie May Storrie in 2003. It ran

:12:38. > :12:42.until last summer, finishing on what would have been her 18th

:12:42. > :12:52.birthday. But as Carolyn Moses reports, her legacy - and that of

:12:52. > :12:59.

:12:59. > :13:06.the academy - lives on. This is Around the her being just happy.

:13:06. > :13:10.Fun, she just loved dancing -- I remember her just being happy.

:13:10. > :13:16.There was not a week when we did not go round to each other's houses.

:13:16. > :13:22.But at 10 years old, Rosie May was dead, murdered by a teenager at a

:13:22. > :13:29.Christmas party. It was really hard, I was really shocked at how she

:13:29. > :13:35.died. It was horrible for everybody involved. The year after she was

:13:35. > :13:39.murdered... Her parents set up a show Lankan orphanage in her name

:13:39. > :13:43.now home to 21 girls -- straw Lankan orphanage. There was under

:13:43. > :13:51.closer to home as well, an academy for selected dancers. To get the

:13:51. > :13:55.best of training. We wanted to give other girls the opportunity to be

:13:55. > :14:01.taught by the best in the business. And to give them a future that

:14:01. > :14:08.Rosie may have been denied. people say you can think of someone

:14:08. > :14:12.when you dance and nothing we all did. To have up West End

:14:12. > :14:20.professionals come from West End shows, it was amazing. You don't

:14:20. > :14:24.often get that opportunity. It was great to have that experience.

:14:24. > :14:34.that experience has got the girls to London and to Liverpool to

:14:34. > :14:38.pursue their dream of professional They say it was Rosie may's academy

:14:38. > :14:41.which set them on their way. Obviously I have got this far now

:14:41. > :14:51.and I never thought I would be doing a dance career. I never

:14:51. > :14:57.

:14:57. > :15:02.thought I would be doing this but # In your heart, in your mind, I

:15:02. > :15:06.still feel right here. And sun. And how do they feel about this

:15:06. > :15:10.now? I am inspired to have taken something so tragic and it gave me

:15:10. > :15:15.the opportunity to do something important as well. If she was sat

:15:15. > :15:23.next to me right now, she would be very proud of us. I do feel

:15:23. > :15:29.sometimes that she does look down on us and staff and she is happy. -

:15:29. > :15:35.Still to come, the mystery of that forgotten 1950s wedding film is

:15:35. > :15:45.solved. Last night we asked, do you know who these newly-weds are?

:15:45. > :15:47.

:15:47. > :15:50.Minutes after the appeal went out, When you think of the composer

:15:50. > :15:56.Elgar, I bet you think of Land Of Hope And Glory, or perhaps Nimrod

:15:56. > :15:59.from the Enigma Variations. But I bet you don't associate him with

:16:00. > :16:03.the Carillon Tower in Loughborough. It's long been known he composed

:16:03. > :16:05.music for the opening of the famous bell tower memorial in 1923. But

:16:06. > :16:15.the original score had disappeared, until now. James Roberson takes up

:16:16. > :16:34.

:16:34. > :16:37.Inside the Carillon in Loughborough, the lady plays a memorial called

:16:37. > :16:47.Chimes but this is not just by any composer, this is by Sir Edward

:16:47. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:52.The piece was composed specially for the opening of the Royal

:16:52. > :16:55.memorial tower in 1923. -- war memorial tower. Thousands turned

:16:56. > :16:59.out to hear it, and it was transcribed from which it has been

:17:00. > :17:04.played regularly ever since. Recently staff at the local council

:17:04. > :17:09.were sorting some old boxes in this strong run and came across some

:17:09. > :17:16.interesting documents. Staff here were having a bit of a sprinkling

:17:16. > :17:19.and in an old dusty box, we found the old school itself. The staff I

:17:19. > :17:24.can say were very excited when they realised it was the original Elgar

:17:24. > :17:28.score. As far as I am aware, he has to have his arm twisted to write it.

:17:28. > :17:33.He was not keen to write it. It was not an instrument he was familiar

:17:33. > :17:38.well. They also found letters in his scrawled writing and this last,

:17:38. > :17:42.carefully-typed. Algar unfortunately could not be

:17:42. > :17:46.here for the opening of the Carillon and the playing of his

:17:46. > :17:53.piece. It is the only piece of music that Elgar wrote for Carillon

:17:53. > :17:56.so it is a very, very exciting find for us. The council hopes to put

:17:56. > :18:06.the documents on display in future and also an old film of the opening

:18:06. > :18:06.

:18:06. > :18:11.so that they can all be enjoyed by Sounds beautiful from the outside

:18:11. > :18:20.but when you are there with those cuboid things, it is quite clunky.

:18:20. > :18:22.-- with those keyboard things. And in sport, here we are.

:18:22. > :18:25.Last night was disappointing all round for our clubs in the

:18:25. > :18:28.Championship. Three games and three defeats for Forest, Leicester and

:18:28. > :18:38.Derby. More on the Rams in a moment but first Jeremy Nicholas takes a

:18:38. > :18:40.look at how things went wrong for Middlesbrough's two goals either

:18:40. > :18:45.side of half-time the forest second-from-bottom six points

:18:45. > :18:51.adrift of safety with just one win in the last 13 league games. When

:18:51. > :18:56.Andy Reid's free-kick was headed in by a dual Lynch, especially when

:18:56. > :19:02.Kevin Thomson came in with his second card -- sent off for his

:19:02. > :19:06.second car. Adelene Guedioura hit the bar and the effort was

:19:06. > :19:09.disallowed for a foul on the keeper. Steve Cotterill's old club

:19:09. > :19:12.Portsmouth are expected to go into administration for a second time

:19:12. > :19:16.which would see them docked 10 points putting them level on points

:19:16. > :19:21.with Forest. Nigel Pearson was not happy with

:19:21. > :19:25.the goals his Leicester side let in at Watford. A goal down inside five

:19:25. > :19:28.minutes, Leicester fought back. David Nugent's goal from the left

:19:28. > :19:31.had a touch of the Gareth Bale about it. And his second goal was

:19:31. > :19:35.even better taking the ball on the volley to give Leicester the lead.

:19:35. > :19:39.But poor defending from another free-kick let the home side back

:19:39. > :19:44.into the game. At 2-2, the next goal would win it and for a long

:19:44. > :19:50.time, it looked like Leicester would score it. They dominated but

:19:50. > :19:53.Forsyth won it for what food. And even when Doyle was sent off --

:19:53. > :19:56.Lloyd Doyley was sent off, and Leicester could not find their way

:19:56. > :19:59.back. So from those two defeats to

:19:59. > :20:03.another, I'm afraid. Derby County were playing Reading and fans were

:20:03. > :20:06.hoping to see the Rams make it five home wins in a row. It wasn't to be,

:20:06. > :20:16.though, and there certainly wasn't much in the way of entertainment on

:20:16. > :20:22.Derby had been enjoying some good home form going into this game and

:20:22. > :20:27.fans were largely expectant. Good team, those Reading people. But we

:20:27. > :20:32.can beat anybody on the day. have not been able to beat them

:20:32. > :20:35.previously but this season we are getting there. Riding a one-off the

:20:35. > :20:39.dubious clubs that we sometimes often lose to -- Reading are one of

:20:54. > :21:00.The grounds then rallied but for all the effort, it never looked

:21:00. > :21:04.like finding an equaliser. I didn't think we were going to be as poor

:21:04. > :21:07.as we were tonight. We have been difficult to beat, even the ball

:21:07. > :21:13.coming into the box for the goal. We have dealt with those bread-and-

:21:13. > :21:17.butter things, the two centres hearts have dealt with those.

:21:17. > :21:20.lads were disappointed at half-time, and we wanted to get out then that

:21:25. > :21:34.Saturday's game and try to pick up all three points there. And the

:21:34. > :21:37.So that's all the bad news over with. In League One it was a much

:21:37. > :21:46.better night for Notts County. They hadn't played in two weeks but

:21:46. > :21:50.returned to action with a win at Not may have seen the last two

:21:54. > :21:59.things -- Nottingham may have seen. Eliot used third thank you for this

:21:59. > :22:02.gift of a goal. The celebrations were pretty short-lived with Exeter

:22:06. > :22:10.penalty that decisions. And you don't often see Jeff Hughes missing

:22:10. > :22:18.them. That is his 8th from the penalty spot this season.

:22:18. > :22:21.Nottingham are 9th... And there's more action at Meadow

:22:21. > :22:25.Lane tonight. This time, rugby. Nottingham play Doncaster in a

:22:25. > :22:28.rearranged game. After all the bad weather, this will actually be

:22:28. > :22:33.their first home game this year. There could be trouble for

:22:33. > :22:35.Leicester Tigers player, Julian White. He's been accused of

:22:35. > :22:38.stamping on another player during Saturday's defeat at Exeter. It's

:22:38. > :22:41.going before a disciplinary panel tonight. Some good news for Tigers

:22:41. > :22:50.though. England players Manu Tuilagi, Toby Flood and Thomas

:22:50. > :22:52.Waldrom will all be available for That is your sport.

:22:52. > :22:55.Thank you very much. Last night, to celebrate

:22:55. > :22:58.Valentine's Day, we showed you some old footage of a wedding which took

:22:58. > :23:01.place in the 1950s. The film had been sitting forgotten in a

:23:01. > :23:06.cupboard ever since. No-one knew who the couple seen tying the knot

:23:06. > :23:10.actually were - until our programme ended. The couple's son got in

:23:10. > :23:20.touch with us and Angelina Socci has been to meet them at their home

:23:20. > :23:22.

:23:22. > :23:27.This is the footage Elaine and Bryan Pickering did not even know

:23:27. > :23:33.about. That is until they recognise themselves on East Midlands Today.

:23:33. > :23:39.I have just sat down to watch the end of the programme. And they said

:23:39. > :23:45.about lost films and does anybody know... And I looked up and I

:23:45. > :23:51.thought "that is me!" that is our wedding. This one minute video had

:23:51. > :23:55.been in the possession of our cameraman for years. My dad had an

:23:56. > :23:59.8mm camera and when he shot the film, he sent it off in the little

:23:59. > :24:02.envelope like this. It would come back from processing and put it

:24:02. > :24:05.through the projector. But this film was not ours and it had

:24:05. > :24:10.nothing to do with the family. It was put in a box along with the

:24:10. > :24:14.other home movies and not touched for about 50 years. It was a shock

:24:14. > :24:22.really of seeing it. All we have got his black-and-white photographs

:24:22. > :24:26.which were the thing, in 1959. Not many, films. It is 52 years since a

:24:26. > :24:29.lane and Brian got married at this church. They have now got four

:24:29. > :24:35.children, five grand children and half a century later, they have

:24:35. > :24:45.come back to the place where it all began. -- Elaine and Brian.

:24:45. > :24:46.

:24:46. > :24:50.Is this the first time you have been back? I am afraid so, yes.

:24:50. > :24:52.Total we different. A pleasant surprise. So with even more

:24:52. > :25:02.memories of their big day, the happy couple are looking forward to

:25:02. > :25:05.

:25:05. > :25:09.That was so nice. How nice to tie up all the loose

:25:09. > :25:13.end. It was exciting last night when we got the call through and

:25:13. > :25:17.their son had contacted us. Wonderful, more of the same. If you

:25:17. > :25:27.know the gentleman who saved a little Milly from the canal, please

:25:27. > :25:28.

:25:28. > :25:32.do let us know. Talk of the Cold We are expecting the return of cold

:25:32. > :25:36.air by the weekend but don't worry, not as cold as last week. Looking

:25:36. > :25:46.ahead to tomorrow night, clear spells and staying dry with a touch

:25:46. > :25:50.

:25:50. > :25:54.of frost possible. The first photo from Val. We have got higher

:25:54. > :25:58.pressure sitting out in the Atlantic and it means we have got

:25:58. > :26:01.milder air coming in from the West giving us a slightly milder

:26:01. > :26:06.temperature for the next couple of days. But with this area of high

:26:06. > :26:09.pressure we have got a lot of cloud associated with it. It is breaking

:26:09. > :26:17.at times bumming have got some clear spells as we go through this

:26:17. > :26:23.evening and overnight tonight. -- braking at times and we have got

:26:23. > :26:26.some clear spells. Temperatures about three Celsius. It will also

:26:27. > :26:30.be breezy with a north-westerly wind, some sunshine through the

:26:30. > :26:35.morning but make the most of it because during the afternoon will

:26:35. > :26:39.notice that cloud start to increase particularly towards the end of the

:26:39. > :26:43.afternoon. Playing breezy with their high temperature of nine

:26:43. > :26:47.Celsius, that is around two degrees above the average for February. You

:26:47. > :26:50.might notice a bit of rain here across the north of the UK and we

:26:50. > :26:54.are expecting a few spots on Thursday but it all changes on

:26:58. > :27:04.stays there for a while on Friday before eventually sinking south

:27:04. > :27:09.through Saturday. As it moves south we are expecting rain to move in

:27:09. > :27:13.and cloud as well but behind all that rain, we are expecting clearer

:27:13. > :27:17.skies which means by the time we get to Sunday with the clear skies

:27:17. > :27:24.we have got the introduction of colder air so high temperatures of

:27:24. > :27:34.five Celsius on Sunday and we are expecting to return to frosty
