:00:06. > :00:10.Our top story tonight: Jail for a conman who swindled his

:00:10. > :00:16.victims out of more than �1 million. Malcolm Green offered financial

:00:16. > :00:20.advice, then cheated people out of their life savings. He stole from

:00:20. > :00:24.old-age pensioners and took from children. Can't get much lower than

:00:24. > :00:32.that. Also tonight - sunk. The men who

:00:32. > :00:36.hid cocaine among tropical fish. will be getting a demonstration in

:00:36. > :00:40.exactly how the drug smugglers managed to do it and we will be

:00:40. > :00:47.looking at other unusual ways dealers have managed to hide drugs

:00:47. > :00:51.to get them into the country. Plus, mind the doors. Prince

:01:11. > :01:14.the young Queen stored in a box for Good evening and welcome to

:01:14. > :01:19.Friday's programme. First tonight, the conman who stole thousands of

:01:19. > :01:21.pounds from the widow of a man killed in a terrorist attack. In

:01:21. > :01:28.total, Malcolm Green swindled more than �1 million from dozens of

:01:28. > :01:32.people who trusted him with their life savings. Among them was one of

:01:32. > :01:35.his friends, the wife of a man killed in the 7/7 London bombings.

:01:35. > :01:43.Today, Green was jailed for five and-a-half years. From Derby, Simon

:01:43. > :01:50.Hare reports. Is there anything you want to say

:01:50. > :01:56.to those who have lost money? so, so sorry. Seriously... Malcolm

:01:56. > :02:01.Green arrives at Derby Crown Court to learn his fate. He had admitted

:02:01. > :02:07.defrauding some of his clients out of more than �1.1 million. I hope

:02:07. > :02:13.the judge gives him what he deserves. On behalf of my family

:02:13. > :02:17.and the other victims. He had run his independent financial advice

:02:17. > :02:22.service from this shop in Derbyshire. Much of the money he

:02:22. > :02:27.had been given to invest was cash that people had inherited. Among

:02:27. > :02:33.his victims, the widow of a stand Brewster from Derbyshire. He was

:02:33. > :02:40.killed in the 7/7 bombings or stop Sandra, seen here at the unveiling

:02:40. > :02:45.of a memorial to her husband, lost �30,000 to Green. She was trying to

:02:45. > :02:52.rebuild her life with the money left to her. He deceived her trust.

:02:52. > :02:56.She was a family friend and he took her money. I really do feel for her.

:02:56. > :02:59.Sentencing Green to 5 and a half years, the Recorder told him, these

:02:59. > :03:04.people trusted you and you blatantly deceived them into

:03:04. > :03:08.thinking they were saving for their future. In fact, you were stealing

:03:08. > :03:13.their money. He stole from old age pensioners and took money from

:03:13. > :03:18.children's funds. Can't get much lower than that. If he spent the

:03:18. > :03:24.money on propping up his business, as well as holidays, drinking and

:03:24. > :03:28.gambling. He had this deluded belief he would win the lottery and

:03:28. > :03:33.pay people back. They are now waiting to see if they will receive

:03:33. > :03:38.any money as compensation from the financial authorities. The court

:03:38. > :03:42.heard that Green doesn't have any assets and he was ordered to pay a

:03:42. > :03:46.total of �1 towards the �1.1 million he stole.

:03:46. > :03:56.Still to come on the programme, Gurkhas on guard. A Derby security

:03:58. > :04:01.firm takes on 70 ex-soldiers from Two Polish men have been each been

:04:01. > :04:08.jailed for 11 years for attempting to smuggle cocaine into the UK from

:04:08. > :04:11.Columbia hidden among tropical fish. The drugs were followed from

:04:11. > :04:14.Heathrow to Nottingham. The 17 kilos had a street value of �4.5

:04:14. > :04:24.million but more than 16,000 fish died in the operation, as Sarah

:04:24. > :04:27.

:04:27. > :04:34.Teale reports. These are some of the few fish

:04:34. > :04:38.which survived the drug smuggling operation. 16,500 did not. The

:04:38. > :04:43.trouble fish were brought into the UK from Colombia along with 17

:04:43. > :04:48.kilos of cocaine. -- tropical fish. They came into Heathrow and were

:04:48. > :04:54.driven up to Nottingham. The drugs were stored with the fish in

:04:54. > :04:57.plastic bags. They had a street value of �4.4 million. Customs

:04:57. > :05:02.officials were watching this house in Nottingham, where the drugs

:05:02. > :05:08.ended up. They raided it last summer and arrested the two Polish

:05:09. > :05:14.men. Off today at Nottingham Crown Court, the men were sentenced for

:05:14. > :05:17.conspiracy to import cocaine. The case is highly unusual but Dr

:05:17. > :05:27.Gareth Cave, from Nottingham Trent University, demonstrated how the

:05:27. > :05:30.process of disguising drugs in water is fairly simple. Beware of

:05:30. > :05:35.purifying it, add some water and then we just need to add some heed

:05:35. > :05:39.to get it to dissolve. As you can see, after a few minutes, it is

:05:39. > :05:46.dissolved. There is very little difference from what water looks

:05:46. > :05:50.like in the first place. So the new pop that it into this and the

:05:50. > :05:56.process reverses. Their new filter it and you can see the drug

:05:56. > :06:00.molecule at the top and the water at the bottom. Customs officials

:06:00. > :06:05.say the most common ways of drugs being smuggled into the country are

:06:05. > :06:09.by hiding them in luggage or using human drug meals. But they say

:06:09. > :06:15.criminals are having to come up with increasingly inventive ways of

:06:15. > :06:19.hiding the drugs. Heroin was found inside these wooden pallets.

:06:19. > :06:26.Customs officers X-rayed the his golf clubs and found �2 million

:06:26. > :06:32.worth of cocaine inside. Drugs were considered -- found inside these

:06:32. > :06:36.rolls of ribbon and even inside yams. The men were sentenced to 11

:06:36. > :06:40.years each in prison for their part in the multi-million-pound drug

:06:40. > :06:44.smuggling operation. Our chief news reporter, Quentin

:06:44. > :06:52.Rayner, was in court today. Thousands of fish died as a result

:06:52. > :06:58.of this smuggling operation. Was it because of the cocaine? No. The

:06:58. > :07:03.fish were not swimming in water full of cocaine. What happened is

:07:03. > :07:06.that the cocaine was in separate pouches stitched to the bags

:07:06. > :07:09.containing the fish. What killed the fish was the fact that they

:07:10. > :07:15.were picked up so late from Heathrow and they died from a lack

:07:15. > :07:22.of oxygen. So the fish and cocaine were in separate carriages. The

:07:22. > :07:28.majority died in a dummy run in April. 16,000 died where no drugs

:07:28. > :07:32.were involved. They were abandoned in a lock-up in North London. A

:07:32. > :07:37.further 500 died when the actual operation came into effect in July.

:07:37. > :07:40.26 survived and are at London Zoo. Thank you.

:07:40. > :07:44.A coroner has said that a series of complications combined to cause the

:07:44. > :07:46.death of a Derby woman following a gastric band operation. Claire

:07:46. > :07:51.White lost her life after a procedure at the Royal Derby

:07:51. > :08:01.Hospital in 2010. Today the coroner said a rare but recognised

:08:01. > :08:06.complication began a fatal chain of events, as James Roberson reports.

:08:06. > :08:11.Claire White, a 37-year-old mother of three, wanted a gastric and

:08:11. > :08:16.operation to help her Louis weight and counter her diabetes. She was

:08:16. > :08:22.considered a suitable candidate. But the operation in October 2010

:08:22. > :08:26.lead, some days later, to severe infection. Today, in a narrative

:08:26. > :08:32.verdict, the coroner said her condition was made worse by the

:08:32. > :08:38.fact she had diabetes, which had caused heart disease and a large

:08:38. > :08:43.clot on her lung. He has severe infection is most likely to be due

:08:43. > :08:47.to the rare but recognised complication of gastric and erosion,

:08:47. > :08:51.where there is weakening of the adjacent cells, thus allowing

:08:51. > :08:55.movement of the bacteria from the stomach. In this situation, the

:08:55. > :09:01.gastric and irritates the outside of the stomach, opening up

:09:01. > :09:06.microscopic poles, which then allow dangerous bacteria to escape into

:09:06. > :09:10.the chest cavity. The gastric band was removed and the doctors managed

:09:10. > :09:13.to creep feed complication but the coroner said the complications

:09:13. > :09:17.together set in motion an inevitable chain of life-

:09:17. > :09:23.threatening illness which even further surgery and time in

:09:23. > :09:28.intensive care could not stop. In the past, Claire White's husband

:09:28. > :09:32.and children expressed shock at her death but today, her husband said

:09:32. > :09:35.he had no a further comment. An inquest has heard how an 84-

:09:35. > :09:38.year-old woman from Lincolnshire died after spending the night in

:09:38. > :09:41.the grounds of her care home in sub-zero temperatures. Dorothy

:09:41. > :09:47.Spicer, who was from Market Deeping, was found in the grounds of

:09:47. > :09:49.Whitefriars residential care home in Stamford in November 2009. It's

:09:49. > :09:54.understood Mrs Spicer, who suffered from Alzheimer's, had been there

:09:54. > :09:57.eight hours. The Prison Officers' Association

:09:57. > :10:01.says it's furious that no action is to be taken against a prisoner

:10:01. > :10:04.who's alleged to have attacked staff at Nottingham Jail. The

:10:05. > :10:08.incident at the start of January is said to have involved an inmate

:10:08. > :10:18.serving an indeterminate sentence. Nottinghamshire Police say an

:10:18. > :10:22.

:10:22. > :10:25.initial decision not to bring charges is now being reviewed.

:10:25. > :10:28.The Derby train-maker Bombardier says it has been given a big morale

:10:28. > :10:31.boost from a visit today by Prince Charles. Last year, the company

:10:31. > :10:34.announced 1,400 job losses after losing out on the �1.4 billion

:10:34. > :10:38.Thameslink contract. But it's already won another smaller order,

:10:38. > :10:46.and there are hopes of more to come. Today the Prince toured the site

:10:46. > :10:52.and even had a go at driving a Tube train, as Mike O'Sullivan reports.

:10:52. > :10:57.The Prince on the production line. Bombardier in Derby. Carriages for

:10:57. > :11:01.the Underground. And meeting those who make it happen. A father and

:11:01. > :11:05.son, the third and 4th generation of their family to work here.

:11:05. > :11:09.lost a contract last year so obviously we were down but now we

:11:09. > :11:14.are positive and the short-term future looks good, and hopefully,

:11:14. > :11:18.get a few more contracts and go on a bit longer. Obviously, my son has

:11:18. > :11:23.just started life here. We have a future that is looking quite

:11:23. > :11:29.positive at the moment. Hopefully he can work here as long as I have

:11:29. > :11:33.if he decides to. The Prince was given a chance to drive one of the

:11:33. > :11:40.trains. This, part of their London Underground contract that runs

:11:40. > :11:44.until 2014. With the Thameslink contract going to Germany, this was

:11:44. > :11:49.the only one left for Bombardier. It had been feared the plant could

:11:49. > :11:53.close but a lifeline came over Christmas and New Year. Another

:11:53. > :11:59.order worth �180 million from Southern Rail. The staff who turned

:11:59. > :12:05.out to see Prince Charles today have been told their stability is

:12:05. > :12:09.secured for three ideas. After Bombardier's recent troubles, how

:12:09. > :12:14.secure is the long-term future beyond the three years they have

:12:14. > :12:18.been talking about? Three years does not mean this site went be

:12:18. > :12:22.here in three years. On the contrary, everybody is used to the

:12:22. > :12:27.fact that sometimes a new order comes in and sometimes they fade

:12:27. > :12:32.out. But it is vital that new orders come through. They need to

:12:32. > :12:36.keep skilled and trained workers in these jobs. They were delighted to

:12:36. > :12:38.see Prince Charles today generating support for the UK's Last train

:12:38. > :12:41.maker. Staying with trains and the railway,

:12:41. > :12:44.there's renewed optimism tonight among campaigners pushing for the

:12:44. > :12:48.electrification of the Midland Main Line. It follows comments by the

:12:48. > :12:52.Railways Minister. Theresa Villiers said the scheme had been

:12:53. > :12:55.prioritised and will be considered for funding in July. So could this

:12:55. > :12:59.long-running campaign to speed up journey times to London finally get

:12:59. > :13:09.the go-ahead? Let's find out more from our political editor, John

:13:09. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:14.Hess, who's near Nottingham station. Good evening. Nottingham Railway

:13:14. > :13:17.Station is about to undergo a multi-million pound revamp. But

:13:17. > :13:21.don't expect any quick improvements in journey times. For passengers

:13:21. > :13:26.heading to St Pancras, it'll still take up to two hours. And here's

:13:26. > :13:30.why. The Midland Main Line links the East Midlands with London and

:13:30. > :13:35.Eurostar. But the line is only electrified as far as Bedford and

:13:35. > :13:38.that's for the Thameslink service. Electrifying all 170 miles of the

:13:38. > :13:42.line, say campaigners, would slice up to half an hour off the time

:13:42. > :13:45.from Nottingham and Derby to London. From Leicester, it'll be less than

:13:45. > :13:49.an hour. But isn't the Government priority

:13:49. > :13:57.to build HS2, the new high-speed railway? How realistic is

:13:57. > :14:01.electrification of the Midland Main Line? Two reasons. The case itself

:14:01. > :14:03.is said to be very robust and persuasive. Secondly, the

:14:03. > :14:09.Government is looking around to fund infrastructure projects that

:14:09. > :14:15.might kick-start economic revival. The go-ahead for the A453 springs

:14:15. > :14:25.to mind. And here's another clue. A question put in Parliament by

:14:25. > :14:29.Leicester South MP Jon Ashworth to the Railways Minister. There are

:14:29. > :14:32.widespread concerns that because of HS2 and other pressures,

:14:32. > :14:38.electrification will not go ahead for quite some time. Elettra

:14:38. > :14:43.vocation of the men lack -- Midland Main Line has been prioritised in

:14:43. > :14:47.our industry plan. -- electrification. In this way, we

:14:47. > :14:49.will look at what will be funded in the next period and we will give

:14:49. > :14:52.further details on that statement in July.

:14:52. > :14:56.The Railways Minister was wearing a sling after breaking a collar bone

:14:56. > :15:00.in a cycling accident. Expect an early invitation for the minister

:15:00. > :15:10.to let the train take the strain and try the Midland Main line for

:15:10. > :15:11.

:15:11. > :15:14.herself. I am sure we wish her a speedy recovery! Thank you.

:15:14. > :15:17.A Derby-based security firm is hiring Gurkhas who've left the

:15:17. > :15:20.British Army. Around 70 former soldiers from Nepal are being used

:15:20. > :15:29.to guard buildings and construction sites across the country, as our

:15:29. > :15:32.social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball, reports.

:15:32. > :15:37.They have come from a remote mountain kingdom in the Himalayas,

:15:37. > :15:43.but now these two are guarding one of Nottingham's most iconic

:15:43. > :15:49.landmarks. It means security here at Wootton Hall is in experienced

:15:49. > :15:53.hands, because the soldiers have a fearsome reputation. They served in

:15:53. > :15:58.the Falklands for the British Army. They are very polite and they are

:15:58. > :16:03.not afraid of her thing. We can put them on a contract -- construction

:16:04. > :16:09.site to deter a cable theft. People will think twice if they see

:16:10. > :16:14.Gurkhas there. People have asked us if we have any we can offer. It is

:16:14. > :16:20.all the result of this - a high- profile battle by Joanna Lumley

:16:20. > :16:26.whose campaign gave Gurkhas the right to campaign -- to settle here

:16:26. > :16:31.if they had been in the army. future is very good here in England.

:16:31. > :16:37.I have bought my whole family in England. There is a lot of

:16:37. > :16:44.corruption in Nepal. England is very quiet. It is a good, nice

:16:44. > :16:48.place. A good life here. Former soldiers from Nepal are becoming a

:16:48. > :16:51.familiar sight on patrol. With more cuts in the pipeline, this company

:16:51. > :16:58.will be looking for more Gurkha recruits.

:16:58. > :17:02.Coming up later, some blue-sky thinking, from Anna.

:17:02. > :17:07.But time now for the sport. Over to Colin.

:17:07. > :17:09.On the way, Forest and Notts. But before we get to them, last night's

:17:09. > :17:13.action, because here should be plenty of smiling faces in

:17:13. > :17:16.Leicestershire and a few despondent ones over the border in Derby.

:17:16. > :17:19.That's because it was the Foxes who came out on top in the big East

:17:19. > :17:25.Midlands clash at Pride Park, and Angela was there, too.

:17:25. > :17:30.Come on, Leicester! Come on, Derby! It should be a good game because

:17:30. > :17:35.there is such rivalry. Beating Derby is the ultimate goal of the

:17:35. > :17:42.season! We need to win today. If we don't, I don't think the play-offs

:17:42. > :17:48.will be hours. The opening at Pride Park of a game about so much more

:17:48. > :17:54.than rivalry. Derby are in dire need of a goal and a change in

:17:54. > :17:59.fortunes. The first half was all about Leicester. Tremendous

:17:59. > :18:04.pressure on the Derby goal finally paid dividends. It could have been

:18:04. > :18:10.three or four. The second half, though, was a different story.

:18:10. > :18:15.Derby did their best to stop Leicester's domination. But a goal

:18:15. > :18:23.proved a bit elusive. It was down to the Frank Fielding to keep

:18:23. > :18:33.things going. It is all we asked the players, to do everything they

:18:33. > :18:39.did it the second half. Lots of endeavour. For the foxes, a double

:18:39. > :18:43.over their East Midlands rivals. Eight points off the play-offs,

:18:43. > :18:48.this was Leicester's night. Although we made it a bit difficult

:18:48. > :18:58.for ourselves at times, we still showed a resilience and a mental

:18:58. > :19:01.

:19:01. > :19:03.strength that I am very pleased So, with those two sides meeting

:19:03. > :19:08.last night, that just leaves us with Nottingham Forest playing in

:19:08. > :19:11.the Championship tomorrow. They've got a tough game away at Birmingham.

:19:11. > :19:21.But things suddenly look much more positive for the Reds, as Kirsty

:19:21. > :19:25.Edwards reports. There's been plenty of doom and

:19:25. > :19:31.gloom at Nottingham Forest lately. But now, just lately, maybe that is

:19:31. > :19:36.starting to lift. It has been pretty amazing for this lot. Last

:19:36. > :19:43.week, six points from safety. This week, three points above the

:19:43. > :19:49.relegation zone. Yes, the Reds have been helped by a bit of luck. The

:19:49. > :19:59.10-point deduction from Portsmouth. But also a bit of magic. That win

:19:59. > :20:04.against Coventry. A long time coming -- coming, we know that. But

:20:04. > :20:08.huge pressure on our lads last week. I thought at half-time we made the

:20:08. > :20:18.changes and settle them down a bit. I thought in the second half we

:20:18. > :20:19.

:20:19. > :20:23.were by far the better team. flag! It is 2-0! It is very big

:20:23. > :20:28.psychologically to go into the bottom three. We are looking to

:20:28. > :20:32.build on the performance we had on Saturday. Tomorrow, the Reds face

:20:32. > :20:36.Birmingham. This time they are facing a team at the other end of

:20:36. > :20:40.the table. They are doing really well in the Cup so we know it will

:20:40. > :20:44.be a tough game. We will go there and tried to get something from the

:20:44. > :20:48.game because we have everything to do for every game. We know we have

:20:48. > :20:51.lots of games to go with plenty of twists and turns. We have trained

:20:51. > :20:57.just as hard this week as every other week and we just have to make

:20:57. > :21:01.sure we stay focused and be determined. It has been such a

:21:01. > :21:05.relief for everybody involved with Nottingham Forest to get out of the

:21:05. > :21:08.bottom three. How they would love to stay there.

:21:08. > :21:11.Amid all the change at turmoil at Notts County, easy to overlook that

:21:11. > :21:13.tomorrow's game is actually with near-neighbours Chesterfield. The

:21:13. > :21:18.Spirits have struggled, while Notts are still realistic play-off

:21:18. > :21:27.contenders. And new manager Keith Curle has been hugely impressed

:21:27. > :21:31.with his players. Fair play to them. Good application,

:21:32. > :21:39.but desire, but willingness. And under very difficult circumstances.

:21:39. > :21:43.It has been a very emotional time. I am aware of that and am very

:21:43. > :21:46.respectful of it. But at the end of the day, they use football to

:21:46. > :21:49.express themselves. BBC Radio Nottingham is the place

:21:49. > :21:52.to be for full coverage of both Forest and Notts County tomorrow.

:21:52. > :21:54.Your first chance to see the goals is, of course, right here on BBC

:21:55. > :21:57.One. Other sport, and Leicester Tigers'

:21:57. > :22:01.pursuit of a top-two Premiership spot continues tomorrow afternoon

:22:01. > :22:06.at Welford Road. Newcastle are the visitors. Captain Geordan Murphy

:22:06. > :22:09.plays his 300th game for the Tigers. Also tomorrow, Nottingham have

:22:09. > :22:12.their final game before the play- offs away at Bedford Blues.

:22:12. > :22:15.Nottingham Panthers are home to Cardiff tomorrow night and away in

:22:15. > :22:18.Fife on Sunday. Derbyshire's Superbike star Leon Haslam will

:22:18. > :22:22.find out in just a few hours if he can compete in Sunday's season

:22:22. > :22:25.opening race in Australia. Haslam broke his leg in a crash on Monday.

:22:25. > :22:30.Astonishingly, he thinks surgery yesterday may mean he can be on the

:22:30. > :22:36.grid. And wishing all the best to the

:22:36. > :22:39.Derby Trailblazers basketball team. They're in the EBL Trophy Final

:22:39. > :22:42.against Bristol on Sunday. If you fancy going, it's in Leicester at

:22:42. > :22:46.the Braunstone Leisure Centre. Now, we're going to see millions of

:22:46. > :22:49.pictures of the Queen this year, what with the Jubilee. But the ones

:22:49. > :22:52.we're about to show, you've probably never seen before. It's

:22:52. > :22:56.because they've been stored away in a box for decades. They were taken

:22:56. > :23:05.by Brian Mitchell, who worked at Heathrow Airport some 60 years ago.

:23:05. > :23:12.They ended up in Long Eaton and Kylie Pentelow's been to see them.

:23:12. > :23:17.It was a farewell to... It was also, as events turned out, goodbye.

:23:17. > :23:23.last time Princess Elizabeth would see her father King George VI alive.

:23:23. > :23:27.He waved her off to Kenya. And standing watching this momentous

:23:27. > :23:32.occasion, Brian Mitchell, who worked in the Met Office just next

:23:32. > :23:36.to the airstrip. These are the pictures he took. Not professional.

:23:36. > :23:43.Just snapped he and his family would be proud of for the rest of

:23:43. > :23:47.his life and beyond. I think they are incredible. He wasn't a

:23:47. > :23:51.photographer or anything. These were amateur shots that he had

:23:51. > :23:57.developed and he has captured quite a significant point in this

:23:57. > :24:04.country's history. Amazingly, Brian was also there with his camera when

:24:04. > :24:09.Elizabeth returned from Kenya. Her father had died. She was now Queen.

:24:09. > :24:12.Acceding to her father's throne immediately. There is no a break in

:24:12. > :24:17.the continuity of the British monarchy. Until now, these pictures

:24:17. > :24:22.have been hidden away. In the album in a box. We have occasionally got

:24:22. > :24:26.them out and looked at them but probably only a couple of times in

:24:26. > :24:36.the last few years. They were just many of the boxes we packed up

:24:36. > :24:36.

:24:37. > :24:43.after we lost bro. I was unsure what they were. Years ago, I saw

:24:43. > :24:47.them. I am glad they have properly serviced and people can take an

:24:47. > :24:52.interest in them. In the album, Brian has written captions beneath

:24:52. > :24:57.the pictures. The last reeds, and what of the future? Could he

:24:57. > :25:07.imagine that with a click of the few -- the shutter, he captured the

:25:07. > :25:09.

:25:09. > :25:19.I love that footage. Such elegant dresses. What you mean "to those

:25:19. > :25:23.We have had a lovely end to Friday, with the sunshine coming out just

:25:23. > :25:30.before it got dark, and we will continue to have plenty of sunshine

:25:30. > :25:37.over the weekend. Tonight, dry with clear skies. And this picture shows

:25:37. > :25:45.them at their best. Thank you for that. If you have any weather

:25:45. > :25:49.pictures, do send them in to this address. Today, we reached a high

:25:49. > :25:53.of 15 degrees Celsius in these middens. A couple of degrees cooler

:25:53. > :26:00.than yesterday but still great temperatures of this time of year.

:26:00. > :26:03.We have kept hold of the milder air coming in from the North. But as

:26:03. > :26:07.that sinks south through the night, we have much cooler a behind it and

:26:07. > :26:13.we will return to what is normal for this time of year over the

:26:13. > :26:18.weekend. -- cooler at Ayr. We have had the skies clearing and that has

:26:18. > :26:24.allowed for the early sunshine this afternoon and then we have clear

:26:24. > :26:28.skies overnight. A bit of cloud filtering in overnight. A low of

:26:28. > :26:34.two degrees, which is more likely over the Derbyshire Peak District.

:26:34. > :26:39.If you live in a rural spot, you could get a bit of frost. But for

:26:39. > :26:43.most, we wake up tomorrow morning with a glorious start and looking

:26:43. > :26:48.like a pleasant day. Temperatures are expected to reach a high of

:26:48. > :26:52.nine degrees, maybe 10. Cooler than what we have been used to but

:26:52. > :27:01.fairing quite nicely for February. The good news is, we are in for

:27:01. > :27:05.another nice day on Sunday. A high of nine to 10 degrees. We get a bit

:27:05. > :27:09.cooler over the weekend but as we go into Monday and Tuesday, but
