:00:35. > :00:40.Plus months after floods forced them from their homes, the pensioners who
:00:40. > :00:44.feel they are the forgotten victims. Some people have gone into homes and
:00:44. > :00:47.some with relatives but we have had bungalows that have been trying out
:00:47. > :00:52.for about five weeks and nothing has been done to them. And the everyday
:00:52. > :00:58.arguido that could give our Olympic swimmers an extra edge. —— the
:00:59. > :01:00.everyday moss. They will not have the fatigue as quickly that they get
:01:00. > :01:12.even though they are elite swimmers. Good evening and welcome to Friday's
:01:12. > :01:15.programme. First tonight, detectives from Scotland Yard believe that
:01:15. > :01:20.analysing phone records may hold the key to finding out what happened to
:01:20. > :01:23.Madeleine McCann. Investigators looking for the youngster from
:01:23. > :01:26.Rothley in Leicestershire say their enquiries are "gathering momentum"
:01:26. > :01:33.and that they're now looking at 41 so—called persons of interest. There
:01:33. > :01:36.will also be an appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch programme later this
:01:36. > :01:47.month that promises "fresh and substantive" new information.
:01:47. > :01:50.Her face has rarely been out of the headlines but what happens to
:01:50. > :01:55.Madeleine McCann remains unsold. It is appearance in the Portuguese
:01:55. > :01:59.resort of Praia da Luz in 2007 sparked worldwide interest that
:01:59. > :02:03.despite a tireless campaign led by her parents, Kate and Gerry, six
:02:03. > :02:08.years on there is still no answer. Tonight, fresh hope from Scotland
:02:09. > :02:12.Yard. A briefing to select a journalist revealed that they will
:02:12. > :02:17.be analysing thousands of mobile phone records belonging to people
:02:17. > :02:20.thought to be in the same resort the night she disappeared. Detectives
:02:20. > :02:25.clearly believe that this could hold the key to solving the case. They
:02:25. > :02:28.believe that there is a vast amount of material wished must be analysed
:02:28. > :02:41.and will give them a complete picture as to who was in the area at
:02:41. > :02:45.the time —— which must be analysed. Kate and Gerry describe this as a
:02:45. > :02:48.huge step forward, the case had been dropped by the Portuguese
:02:49. > :02:53.authorities back in 2008. Then there were claims in a book by a former
:02:53. > :02:58.police chief that mother Lynne was dead and her parents had lied. The
:02:58. > :03:04.McCanns denied it and are seeking libel damages. Later this month, the
:03:04. > :03:09.family will feature alongside detectives in the BBC's Crimewatch
:03:09. > :03:11.programme which promises fresh and substantive new information.
:03:11. > :03:15.Together with the results of the phone records, it should offer new
:03:15. > :03:16.hope for the Leicestershire parents still determined to find their
:03:16. > :03:22.missing daughter. So, detectives believe that careful
:03:22. > :03:24.examination of mobile phone records could unlock the mystery of
:03:24. > :03:28.Madeleine's disappearance. But how exactly will this help them? We're
:03:28. > :03:30.joined now by a former police chief superintendent and now senior
:03:30. > :03:41.lecturer in criminology at the University of Derby, Nick Howe. Good
:03:41. > :03:47.evening. Thanks for joining us. First, how significant is this news
:03:47. > :03:51.today? I think it is very significant but we should not
:03:51. > :03:55.underestimate the job at the police will still have to do. What I would
:03:55. > :03:58.say is that it is disappointing that we are six years on and this
:03:58. > :04:02.particular aspect of the investigation has not been conducted
:04:02. > :04:10.deviously, I am surprised. You mentioned the six years —— conducted
:04:10. > :04:15.previously. Will this have been affected by the time—lapse? People
:04:15. > :04:22.get rid of phones on a fairly frequent basis so it adds a level of
:04:22. > :04:26.complexity that will be detrimental to the investigation but I am still
:04:26. > :04:30.confident that it will now be thorough. It is fairly unhelpful
:04:30. > :04:37.that this was not done six years ago. Yes, I am surprised by that.
:04:37. > :04:40.Only the Portuguese police can answer for why they did or did not
:04:40. > :04:44.do what they did. They captured some data but from what we are hearing
:04:44. > :04:47.from the media and announcements from the Metropolitan Police, this
:04:47. > :04:52.will now be a full—scale thorough investigation involving over 30
:04:52. > :04:57.countries where the data and phone details will be examined thoroughly
:04:57. > :05:00.which has to be excellent news for the investigation. It is a vast
:05:00. > :05:04.amount of information, do you have any information about how long this
:05:04. > :05:10.will take to get through? I suspect it will take a long time and will
:05:10. > :05:14.also cost a lot of money. Phone providers do not provide data free
:05:14. > :05:17.of charge generally and the bureaucracy in dealing with 30
:05:17. > :05:21.countries against the backdrop of how long data has been kept for it
:05:21. > :05:26.would compete matters for the investigators. Do you think this
:05:26. > :05:33.could hold the key to finding out what happened to Madeleine? Had this
:05:33. > :05:38.been a British enquiry occurring in the UK, I have to say that this
:05:38. > :05:41.would have been a major line of enquiry and it is a tried and tested
:05:41. > :05:45.method of certainly adding more information for investigators to
:05:45. > :05:51.either substantiate or negate who was present at the scene and follow
:05:51. > :05:54.lines of enquiry like these suspected people. We will keep our
:05:54. > :05:56.fingers crossed. Thanks for speaking to us.
:05:56. > :05:59.Next tonight, eight of the nine people accused of five murders in
:05:59. > :06:02.two separate incidents in Leicester have all appeared in court. Two are
:06:02. > :06:06.accused of killing the football coach Antoin Akpom. The other seven
:06:06. > :06:10.are accused of the deaths of four members of the same family who died
:06:10. > :06:15.in a house fire. Our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner has been in
:06:15. > :06:19.court. The brief hearing is at Leicester
:06:19. > :06:24.Crown Court set out a timetable for a trial date. The parents of Antoin
:06:24. > :06:30.Akpom attended. First to appear was 19—year—old Hussein Hussein, a video
:06:30. > :06:34.link with another 19—year—old Abdul Hakim failed so he did not appear
:06:34. > :06:37.during this hearing. Both are accused of the murder of the
:06:37. > :06:40.20—year—old football coach Antoin Akpom on the 12th of September who
:06:40. > :06:46.died from a single stab wound. They were both remanded into custody. The
:06:46. > :06:51.doc was then filled with six men and one youth charged with four counts
:06:52. > :06:56.of murder. They are all aged between 16—24. Shawn Carter, Jackson
:06:56. > :07:01.Powell, Nathaniel Mullings, a youth who cannot be named because of his
:07:02. > :07:05.age, Eireann web, Hakim Jeffers and chemo Porter were all remanded into
:07:05. > :07:10.custody. There was no application for bail. They are all accuse of the
:07:10. > :07:15.V murder of four members of the same family. Three teenage children and
:07:15. > :07:21.the mother died in a house fire at their home in the Wood Hill area of
:07:21. > :07:26.Leicester. Police working on the presumption of both cases which are
:07:26. > :07:29.linked. We were told that the trial will be heard in front of a High
:07:29. > :07:35.Court judge and is expected to last at least eight weeks. It should be
:07:35. > :07:38.dealt with by March next year. Plenty still to come on the
:07:38. > :07:39.programme tonight, including: can you guess what's driving these
:07:39. > :07:57.regulars at one pub so crazy? Pensioners who were forced out of
:07:57. > :08:03.their homes by severe floods this summer, say they feel like the
:08:03. > :08:07.forgotten victims of the deluge. Back in July, three inches of rain
:08:07. > :08:10.fell in just a few hours at Southwell in Nottinghamshire. Three
:08:10. > :08:18.months on, and the repair work is yet to start.
:08:18. > :08:24.With an overnight forecast of heavy rain again, on this road in
:08:24. > :08:28.Southwell, the sandbags were out in case and not surprisingly. In July
:08:28. > :08:35.after heavy rain, the dyke running through the town rose from a trickle
:08:35. > :08:38.to a torrent. We walked into the kitchen and we noticed there was
:08:38. > :08:42.water coming through the door. Walk further into the hall and it was
:08:42. > :08:46.coming through the front door like a river. This family are one of only
:08:46. > :08:52.four households out of 17 still in situ. They are living on concrete
:08:52. > :08:59.floors with the constant noise of the humidifiers. Across the road,
:08:59. > :09:05.Des is now living temporarily in this flat. He managed to salvage his
:09:05. > :09:11.medals from the Navy from the flood but he's not sure when he will get
:09:11. > :09:16.back to his bungalow. I cannot see people going back as yet. Not for a
:09:16. > :09:20.long time. We have been working in the properties since the day after
:09:20. > :09:25.the floods. So we started work drying out the floods immediately
:09:26. > :09:29.afterwards. We will start work on the site on the 14th of October and
:09:29. > :09:32.we are doing everything we can to make sure people can return. But
:09:33. > :09:39.people still believe that they are not going fast enough. We were given
:09:39. > :09:44.a date a fortnight away roughly and nothing has been done. And now we
:09:44. > :09:50.are getting to the winter. We feel like we were left to it and this is
:09:50. > :09:54.the son who have come to this opinion, elderly people down here
:09:54. > :09:58.that we are not being looked after. We have got in touch with tenants on
:09:58. > :10:02.a day to day basis and spent most of the first week on site. We have
:10:02. > :10:05.absolutely maintained really high levels of contact with tenants, kept
:10:05. > :10:10.them informed of what we are doing and we will continue to do so until
:10:10. > :10:14.they get back in. It is hoped the work will finish for the residents
:10:14. > :10:18.to be back in time for Christmas. A controversial free school, shut by
:10:18. > :10:22.Ofsted on the first day of its inspection, says it will reopen on
:10:22. > :10:27.Monday. The Muslim Al—Madinah School in Derby was shut for health and
:10:27. > :10:30.safety reasons on Tuesday. The school says these issues have now
:10:30. > :10:34.been addressed. A football fan who ran onto the
:10:34. > :10:37.pitch and pushed former Derby County boss Nigel Clough has been banned
:10:37. > :10:40.from football matches for three years. 28—year—old Kaleb Morley from
:10:40. > :10:43.Surrey can be seen here running past stunned players shortly after the
:10:43. > :10:49.attack during last month's game between Derby and Millwall. Today he
:10:49. > :10:56.admitted "encroaching on the field of play". He told Bromley
:10:56. > :11:01.magistrates he'd been frustrated Millwall were losing.
:11:01. > :11:03.It's a name that has legendary status in the African—Caribbean
:11:03. > :11:06.community. Marcus Garvey, an influential human rights activist,
:11:06. > :11:11.who died back in 1940. Today his son visited the Nottingham centre named
:11:11. > :11:15.after his father. Dr Julius Garvey arrived from his home in New York to
:11:15. > :11:18.meet members of the community and attend a civic reception. He's
:11:18. > :11:19.touring the UK to talk about the continuing impact of his father's
:11:19. > :11:34.legacy. Statesman—like and with a touch of
:11:34. > :11:39.celebrity status, Dr Julius Garvey arrived in the Nottingham centre
:11:39. > :11:42.named after his father. Marcus Garvey was an activist who
:11:42. > :11:50.influenced the civil rights movement. It is wonderful, I did not
:11:50. > :11:55.know the centre was here and I had never seen it and I can see what it
:11:55. > :12:00.is doing in terms of supporting seniors. It provides daycare for
:12:00. > :12:08.senior members of the African Caribbean community. To shake his
:12:08. > :12:15.son's hand, it is marvellous. I am proud to know I have met his son and
:12:15. > :12:22.to know he is such a humble person. # Marcus Garvey come to town.
:12:22. > :12:26.He was born in Jamaica and travelled in Central and South America, he
:12:26. > :12:29.formed an association to advance the cause of black people urging them to
:12:29. > :12:37.take pride in their African roots. Marcus Garvey moved to New York in
:12:37. > :12:44.1916 where his organisation grew. He died in London in 1940 and, 24 years
:12:44. > :12:47.later, his body was returned to Jamaica where he was declared the
:12:47. > :12:50.country's first national hero. APPLAUSE.
:12:50. > :12:58.Today his son, himself a heart surgeon in New York, was given a
:12:58. > :13:01.civic reception by the lord mayor of Nottingham ahead of other community
:13:01. > :13:05.events. He is an historical figure that we all read about, the work he
:13:05. > :13:11.has done for black people over the years and to see his son carrying on
:13:11. > :13:15.the same work, it is really important. He is seen as a vital
:13:15. > :13:21.living link to his father's legacy. The promotion of human rights. You
:13:21. > :13:31.jumped up there, hello Daphne. What a great occasion.
:13:31. > :13:33.Ex—soldiers are setting up a recycling service to fund a
:13:33. > :13:36.cash—strapped veterans' charity. Forces For Their Future works with
:13:36. > :13:38.former squaddies who are struggling to live on Civvy Street in
:13:38. > :13:51.Nottingham. Turning rubbish into hard cash, this
:13:51. > :13:55.is how a veteran's charity is dealing with a funding crisis. They
:13:55. > :13:58.are raising money by collecting packaging from shops and then
:13:58. > :14:03.selling it off to a recycling centre. But this is also a wave of
:14:03. > :14:07.the men they are supported to make a new start. Unfortunately when they
:14:07. > :14:12.come out of the army, their door is slammed and then the connection with
:14:12. > :14:15.the forces disappears. It gets them communicating and also raises money
:14:15. > :14:21.for the charity which enables us to carry on will stop Simon is one of
:14:22. > :14:28.over 100 veterans turning to the charity. He needed help more than 30
:14:28. > :14:32.years after leaving the army. I was unemployed and I could not pay the
:14:32. > :14:37.mortgage. I did lose my health, it has made a difference to me. I have
:14:37. > :14:46.been able to make new friends, otherwise I would have been lonely
:14:46. > :14:51.and isolated and not knowing where to turn. They are not just recycling
:14:51. > :14:54.rubbish here, they are recycling military careers and helping former
:14:54. > :14:58.squaddies realise they are not on the scrapheap.
:14:58. > :15:06.Absolutely not. Take a look at this. No, it's not
:15:06. > :15:13.debris from a bit of Maurice's DIY, crispbread or cereal. It is in fact
:15:13. > :15:17.dried moss. One of the 300 varieties of sphagnum moss to be precise. I'm
:15:18. > :15:26.not greenfingered for nothing, and it's grown in New Zealand. I think
:15:26. > :15:29.it grows in America. Many places. Closer to home, it's being used to
:15:29. > :15:33.reduce chorine levels in swimming pools. Swimmers are hoping trials of
:15:33. > :15:42.it in two of our pools will bring all manner of benefits.
:15:42. > :15:45.Some of Britain's elite swimmers training at Loughborough University.
:15:45. > :15:51.Also making a splash today, dried moss from New Zealand. Offering
:15:51. > :15:55.fresh hope that chlorine levels can be reduced here. It absorbs
:15:55. > :16:00.impurities from the water into the leaf and then they get trapped there
:16:00. > :16:07.so when you change the moss after a month, they are gone. And it puts
:16:07. > :16:11.material into the water, natural chemicals like a tea bag. See how
:16:11. > :16:18.they expand? They are then 20 times their size that we put in there. He
:16:18. > :16:22.is a retired vascular surgeon from America but his idea of improving
:16:22. > :16:27.water for swimmers comes from yesterday's men. Nearly 100 years
:16:27. > :16:31.ago, moss was used to treat war wounds. They found out that in World
:16:31. > :16:35.War I before antibiotics, that if they made a poultice out of this and
:16:35. > :16:39.put it over those horrible trench wounds, that the soldiers survived
:16:40. > :16:47.in higher numbers. Swimming group say they are interested to see how
:16:47. > :16:50.the trial goes. You can smell that there is a pool in the building at
:16:50. > :16:55.the moment and we hope that the chlorine is reduced for that reason.
:16:55. > :17:00.They are also trying it in the hometown of Rebecca Adlington. The
:17:00. > :17:06.swimmers' hopes RA is that chlorine levels can be reduced. It ruins your
:17:07. > :17:11.ear —— the swimmers' hopes are that chlorine levels can be reduced. Are
:17:11. > :17:19.used to get sore eyes from the chlorine. The air quality is very
:17:19. > :17:23.irritating with the chlorine. It is grown thousands of miles away. The
:17:23. > :17:24.results of the first European commercial trials are being eagerly
:17:24. > :17:37.awaited over there. I only knew of it being used in
:17:37. > :17:41.hanging baskets. We seem to have had quite a lot of pure water ourselves
:17:41. > :17:44.today. We may have missed the heaviest of
:17:44. > :17:48.the rain overnight but the showers today have kept umbrellas busy. Find
:17:48. > :17:49.out if they are here to stay in your full forecast later on in the
:17:49. > :18:04.programme. It will be great for our swimmers.
:18:04. > :18:06.Coming up on the spot, or the football on the way. But rugby
:18:06. > :18:08.first. Leicester Tigers' director of rugby,
:18:08. > :18:12.Richard Cockerill, has committed himself to the club for the next
:18:12. > :18:15.five years. He's been at Welford Road as a player and coach since
:18:15. > :18:17.1992 and has led Tigers to three Premiership titles and a European
:18:17. > :18:20.runners—up spot. The last Premiership title was won
:18:20. > :18:25.against tomorrow's opponents Northampton. It was notable for a
:18:25. > :18:28.clash with the fourth official which has seen Cockerill get a lengthy
:18:28. > :18:34.ban. Tomorrow at a sold—out Welford Road, he still won't have any
:18:34. > :18:36.matchday involvement. But a long new contract.
:18:36. > :18:39.Derby County, who have been making all the football headlines. With
:18:39. > :18:43.Clough sacked and Steve McClaren back, it's time now to focus on the
:18:43. > :18:45.football. Angela caught up with new boss ahead of his first match in
:18:45. > :19:01.charge at Pride Park. What a week it has been for Steve
:19:01. > :19:03.McClaren, back on familiar territory, fiercely ambitious but
:19:03. > :19:16.admitting that it will take time. Let's not rush, otherwise you fall
:19:16. > :19:21.down. We have seen that in the past, that can happen. We don't want that
:19:21. > :19:26.to happen here so we are all impatient but we must be patient at
:19:26. > :19:30.this, respect and make sure that what we have, we assess and look at
:19:30. > :19:35.and come with us. Take them on board and then it will help. Tomorrow
:19:35. > :19:40.against Leeds is his first official game in charge but he has been down
:19:40. > :19:44.in the dugout already. The game on Tuesday, a real roller—coaster. I
:19:44. > :19:49.endured and then enjoyed Tuesday! And that is what a team does in
:19:49. > :19:54.football, I will probably do the same again against Leeds, a part of
:19:54. > :20:03.it will be endurance and parts of it will be enjoyment. It is about
:20:03. > :20:08.getting the results. Helping them is the Derby favourite in the boot
:20:08. > :20:13.room. We are all looking to go and step up and really make a success of
:20:13. > :20:16.it with the unbelievable support that this football club can get. We
:20:16. > :20:22.all hope to be smiling for many years to come. So now it is down to
:20:22. > :20:28.business, Steve McClaren is back and these players need to deliver.
:20:28. > :20:33.And we will be there. Nottingham Forest are off to
:20:33. > :20:36.Brighton for a 5:30pm kick off tomorrow with the deal for winger
:20:36. > :20:39.Bakary Sako apparently dead in the water, Wolves announcing talks were
:20:39. > :20:43.over. When I went to see Forest boss Billy Davies earlier today, he said
:20:43. > :20:46.changes were still likely at the club. But — even though performances
:20:46. > :20:51.haven't been perfect — he was pleased with the achievement so far.
:20:51. > :20:58.This is probably the most points I have taken in the six seasons I have
:20:58. > :21:01.been involved. Your teams are not renowned for being fast starters. I
:21:01. > :21:07.am absolutely delighted, the most points I have taken probably in 16
:21:07. > :21:12.games, I have taken less points than what I have at the moment. So I am
:21:12. > :21:19.delighted from that point of view. The cop is very much half full, not
:21:20. > :21:22.half empty. —— the cup. And we are very happy with what we have so far.
:21:22. > :21:25.The only thing holding Leicester City away from top spot in the
:21:25. > :21:29.Championship is goal difference. It's been an outstanding start, and
:21:29. > :21:32.a stable one. Not many changes to the Foxes team selection. That's
:21:32. > :21:36.meant only the most limited playing time for summer signing Dean
:21:36. > :21:43.Hammond. But, as I found out, he's willing to wait.
:21:43. > :21:48.Hammond is used to success. At Southampton, he had back—to—back
:21:48. > :21:52.emotions and a Johnstone's Paint Trophy to his name. At Leicester, he
:21:53. > :21:58.is biding his time. We have not changed for a while which is good.
:21:58. > :22:02.It becomes more difficult to keep the group happy at times because
:22:02. > :22:08.players want to play. All I can do is train hard, support the players.
:22:08. > :22:11.They are doing really well at the moment and they deserve to be in the
:22:11. > :22:16.team because we are winning games. All I can do is work hard and when
:22:16. > :22:21.my chances come, the ready. It is about winning games as a group. He
:22:21. > :22:25.has played a big part so far. As far as I am concerned and he will want
:22:25. > :22:29.to play a bigger part himself on the field. His leadership qualities have
:22:29. > :22:36.been recognised with captaincy. And his experience is enough to know a
:22:36. > :22:39.good squad when he sees it. There is real good quality here and good
:22:39. > :22:42.competition for places which is important because it is a long
:22:42. > :22:46.season. Team spirit is brilliant but there is real quality in the group
:22:46. > :22:49.as well. It is about being consistent and that is what we are
:22:50. > :22:56.at the moment. How do you keep winning now? Keep doing what we do
:22:56. > :23:00.and don't change. He says that even though no change means that he stays
:23:00. > :23:03.on the bench. For now. Also in action, Notts County are
:23:03. > :23:06.looking in a better place and are home to Crewe. Meanwhile Mansfield
:23:06. > :23:10.manager Paul Cox somehow missed out on the League Two Manager of the
:23:10. > :23:14.Month award. Still, he may not mind — it's notoriously cursed. The Stags
:23:14. > :23:16.will try to keep their great run going at home to Hartlepool.
:23:16. > :23:19.Elsewhere, Nottingham Rugby host Jersey and Notthingham Panthers are
:23:19. > :23:24.home to Braehead tomorrow night. Plus, all our good wishes go with
:23:24. > :23:27.Beckie Downie. Nottingham's star gymnast is in the final of the high
:23:28. > :23:41.bar at the World Championship tomorrow. It is funny you mention
:23:41. > :23:45.bars! What would drive you to the pub? A
:23:45. > :23:49.quiz, good food or perhaps a big football match? Well, at the back of
:23:49. > :23:51.one Nottingham pub is a small room where people scream, shout and enjoy
:23:51. > :24:05.the thrill of the race. The local — a place to catch up with
:24:05. > :24:09.friends. Can I have a pint of beer please, a packet of peanuts and the
:24:09. > :24:15.star ski and Hutch car? Or have a meal. Can I change my Aston Martin
:24:15. > :24:18.for a Ferrari? What about to raise? In a small room at the rear of the
:24:18. > :24:28.Dragon in the centre of Nottingham, they hold Scalextric race nights.
:24:28. > :24:32.With 138 feet of track and Nottingham horizons to race past, up
:24:32. > :24:36.to six drivers can compete and it is all timed on digital scoreboards.
:24:36. > :24:43.There is that competitive spirit in most people and also a sense of
:24:43. > :24:49.absurdity of racing toy cars around a plastic track but it is a fun
:24:49. > :24:54.thing to do. It is competition that anybody can have a go at. You are
:24:54. > :24:59.transported back to being your ten—year—old self. This pub is
:24:59. > :25:02.bucking the trend in terms of dwindling customer numbers as race
:25:02. > :25:12.nights draw in the crowds. Anything from six people of a 30th birthday
:25:12. > :25:16.party to 30 or 40 people here for a stag do. They in, behave but the
:25:16. > :25:22.amount of people that you don't think you can fit in that one small
:25:22. > :25:24.room... It has been brilliant. It is about having a laugh and you could
:25:24. > :25:38.win a medal with your pint. It is nice to have real cars rather
:25:38. > :25:42.than being on a PlayStation. And you can have more sociability as well.
:25:42. > :25:46.But going on this weekend. How's the weather looking?
:25:46. > :25:55.Not too bad but we certainly missed most of the heavy rain overnight.
:25:55. > :25:59.But we have had 20 showers today. You can see the rain tracking its
:25:59. > :26:04.way north on the radar picture but it left behind a legacy of showers.
:26:04. > :26:07.Also quite easy as well as the lively showers but despite all of
:26:07. > :26:12.that, temperatures have done very well feeling quite humid and we have
:26:12. > :26:16.seen highs of 20 Celsius in Nottinghamshire, widely 19 Celsius
:26:16. > :26:21.across the region. That is not bad when you consider that 16 Celsius is
:26:21. > :26:24.average for this time of year. Still a few showers dotted around and they
:26:24. > :26:28.will gradually start to fizzle out through the evening. Most races
:26:28. > :26:33.remaining drive perhaps with some spots of rain throughout the Peak
:26:33. > :26:38.District. Temperatures should not drop to file with lows of 13 Celsius
:26:38. > :26:44.in towns and cities, possibly into single figures in the countryside.
:26:44. > :26:46.We may see some patches of mist and fog there in the morning but on the
:26:46. > :26:51.whole, the weekend is not looking bad, it is looking drier and we will
:26:51. > :26:55.see some good spells of sunshine. The reason is this ridge of high
:26:55. > :26:59.pressure which works its way in and helps to settle things down. Any
:26:59. > :27:08.mist and fog first thing tomorrow will clear away quickly. Some spits
:27:08. > :27:11.and spots of rain and then skies will brighten. The winds will be
:27:11. > :27:18.much lighter and temperature still doing well with temperatures up to
:27:18. > :27:22.17 Celsius. It does turn cooler into tomorrow night and once again,
:27:22. > :27:25.patches of mist and fog forming as we head into Sunday morning but by
:27:25. > :27:31.the afternoon, we should start to see some good spells of sunshine and
:27:31. > :27:33.temperature still doing really well, highs on Saturday and Sunday of 18
:27:33. > :27:43.Celsius so not bad for October. The summer seems to be going on and
:27:43. > :27:45.on. It is looking nice and orange at the moment. We will have more per
:27:45. > :27:46.you tonight. Goodbye.
