calls for UN peacekeepers to be sent in. That's all from the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
This is East Midlands Today with Geeta Pendse and me, Mauricd Flynn. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tonight ` how a rugby trip for children left one boy fighthng for | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
his life. His mother was drhving behind as he fell from the door of a | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
moving coach. Police investhgate. The parents who were there, they | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
were devastated as they camd back last night. They were visibly | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
shocked. Also, the funding that could make it easier for yot to see | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
your doctor. And the voluntders helping keep Nottingham's l`te`night | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
revellers safe in the city. And family life after the appeal to find | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
him a new mum and dad. First tonight, the terrifying moment | :00:52. | :01:07. | |
when a nine year old boy fell out of a moving coach. The boy frol | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Stamford in Lincolnshire was travelling back from a rugbx | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
tournament when the accident happened on the A47 near King's | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Lynn. Today it emerged that his mother was travelling in a separate | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
car ` not far behind the co`ch. The boy himself is in a critical | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
condition in hospital. This report from Kim Riley. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
The double`decker coach, about to be removed from the a 47 after a tragic | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
accident, the nine`year`old fell from a door halfway along the coach, | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
suffering severe head and ldg injuries. Police confirmed there | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
were 20 children and ten adtlt passengers on board. No one else was | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
injured. The boy's parents were among the party from the rugby club. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
They were on their way home from playing in a mini tournament in | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
which more than 700 children took part. A police investigation is | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
underway into how the door came open. From enquiry so far, there was | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
some queueing from young people waiting to use the toilet inside the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
coach, queueing next to the door and somehow, the door has come open Any | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
ideas how? At this time no, that is the focus of our enquiry. Any other | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
or passengers at the scene, we appealed for witnesses, and then | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
there is a vehicle examinathon. The boy was initially taken to hospital | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
in King's Lynn and has sincd been transferred to Addenbrooke's | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Hospital in Cambridge. The parents who were there, they were ddvastated | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
when they came back last night. They looked visibly shocked and | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
disturbed, it was an awful experience for them. When wd send | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
teams out to play in matches or tournaments like this, we expect | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
them to have a good time and come home safely at the end of the day. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
On this occasion, unfortunately it didn't happen. Hamilton's coaches | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
haven't commented but the Confederation of passenger | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
transport, which represents coach operators, say they have a fantastic | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
safety record. We're not sure what has happened on this journex but | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
what I can tell you is before any driver takes a vehicle out of his | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
depot, a number of checks are undertaken, they look at thd tyres, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
safety features, seat belts, the seats themselves. Also the dxit and | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
emergency doors. The police have appealed to anyone who witndssed the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
incident to contact them without delay. | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
Next, a terrorism trial has been told that eight Loughborough | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
teenager carried weapons to school. He has been cross`examined `bout a | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
string of violent and racist incidents that has repeatedly denied | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
that his plans for a massacre were real. What came out in court today? | :04:09. | :04:20. | |
The prosecution repeatedly challenged Michael Piggin's claim | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
that he was a believer fant`sist. He admitted carrying a knife, punching | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
and Asian classmate and that one occasion, took an airgun into | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
college. We also heard that he had fallen out with his mum over his | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
fascination with guns. She said she was sick from spending monex on them | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
and warned that he was going to end up like a notorious American school | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
killer. Today he was asked `gain and again about those plans he wrote for | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
a Columbine high school massacre. Again he insisted that so`c`lled | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
operation wasn't real. Why hs the prediction saying he was serious | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
about it? They argue that hd made detailed plans and details | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
operations for a genuine attack over several months. Today he was | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
asked about a series of notds he wrote about Judgement Day gdtting | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
closer. The QC for the prosdcution said, | :05:20. | :05:40. | |
motivation? The prosecution had told the jury that he made threats | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
against Muslims and he was challenged about series of offensive | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
racist comments he made in school, comments that he dismissed hn court | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
as banter. He was asked abott the swastika flag that was found in his | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
bedroom, along with other N`zi memorabilia. We heard that he went | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
to Loughborough mosque, where he posed for a photo, made an Nazi | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
salute and shouted and EDL slogan. The court heard there were ` number | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of similar incidents but he stood his ground in court and the jury | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
will have to decide whether he was serious about preparing an `ttack. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
It's Geeta and Maurice with you tonight ` and still plenty `head | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
between now and seven. Incltding a good look at the weather for the | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
next few days with Kaye. Thd sun has been shining, most of the khds out | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
of school and there is a bank holiday weekend on the way. Surely | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
that is a queue for the rain, or is it? | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
Next tonight, just how easy do you find it to get to see your GP? If | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
it's a struggle, it may be `bout to change with doctors in some areas | :06:49. | :07:00. | |
being available seven days ` week. That's just one suggestion for how | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
best to use a new multi million pound pot of cash aimed at laking | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
GPs more accessible to their patients. So easy`to`use find it to | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
get to see your doctor? Verx difficult. You can ring for an | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
appointment that one day in you have two or three weeks to wait. I have | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
trouble accessing it, you h`ve to wait weeks for an appointment. But | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
that may change for up to a million patients. One pilot year, p`tients | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
will have access to a new ?4.2 million fund so there patients will | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
have better access to them. The many years we expect people to come along | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
between nine and 11am and that isn't always convenient or appropriate, | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
frankly, so I am looking forward to seeing in a year's time what | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
successes and failures we h`ve. What sort of things might you sed if your | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
GP surgery is taking part? Longer opening hours, possibly frol eight | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
until eight, and opening at weekends. Consultations by phone, | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
e`mail and even video. That's a very good idea. Anything that makes it | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
easy, if you're working and have children, you need to access it at | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
all sorts of times. But one GP says there aren't enough doctors to make | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
seven`day working feasible, long`term. My concern is deland is | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
being stoked that we haven't got a hope in hell of being able to meet, | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
and then patients get frustrated and that damages the relationshhp. It's | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
a relationship that will ch`nge for those taking part over the next | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
year. It's impossible to know what the outcome will be. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
A controlled explosion has been carried out in Nottingham this | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
afternoon on a World War Two bomb. Police were called to Sneinton after | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
a man reported finding an hhstoric explosive device in his garden. 50 | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
properties were evacuated and roads closed while specialists conducted | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
the explosion. People have now been allowed back into their homds and | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
roads have re`opened. Tributes have been paid to ` | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
promising motorcycle racer ` and former soldier ` killed durhng a | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
race at Donington Park this weekend. Ian Allkins died on Saturdax | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
following an accident in thd CB 00 race during the Thundersport GB | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
meeting. His wife led a par`de lap around the circuit yesterdax in | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
tribute to her husband. Donhngton Park has said Ian will be "sadly | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
mist". A multi`million pound cystic | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
fibrosis centre has opened hn Nottingham ` with the aim of | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
creating a home`from`home for patients. One innovation is video | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
conferencing throughout the building. It's hoped this whll | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
prevent feelings of isolation for patients who can't mix becatse of | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
the risk of picking up infections. Mike O'Sullivan reports. | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
Caroline Spencer showed me `round the new 16`bit centre based at the | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Nottingham City Hospital. Vhdeo conferencing throughout adds the | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
human touch. You cannot mix, just to give each other that support, if you | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
like. If you're in this rool, you are lonely, he can't go out of the | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
room and go and talk to anybody so just having that communicathon will | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
help pass the time. As far `s I know, it's the first cystic fibrosis | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
unit to use video conferenchng in that way and we hope it will bring | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
it alive. Caroline was feedhng from a backpack during our tour, and | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
taking on more calories is ` big issue for patients because they need | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
to exercise so much to help clear their lungs. In the kitchen, there | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
will be staff to cook speci`list high calorie meals. In the gym, | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
there are three parts, again linked by video conferencing, wherd | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
patients can exercise. `` pods Road. The centres cost millions of pounds, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
with ?2 million from charitx donations. They wouldn't have been | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
possible without important charitable support from manx | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
sources. It's a very special centre for special patients. They treat | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
around 150 patients here but now hope another 100 will come. | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
They've given out more than 2,0 0 pairs of flip`flops, picked up more | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
than ten thousand broken bottles and paid for taxis home for 91 people. | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
Nottingham's Street Pastors have helped more than 10,000 people | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
across the city over the past four years. From giving out lollhpops to | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
administering first aid, thd volunteers are on hand when things | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
don't go to plan. Paul Bradshaw has been given exclusive access. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
Nottingham city centre on a Friday night. The Street Pastors are on | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
patrol. Every Friday and Saturday night, they take to the strdet to | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
help those in need of assistance. They may have had too much to drink, | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
lost their friends, might nded some first aid. We are just some of who | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
can offer some support that maybe other services card. Within minutes | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
they find a young woman, worse for wear. She is under the infltence, | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
had a bit too much to drink but thankfully, the group have done the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
right in, they have a guy whth the moon is designated driver, who has | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
not had a drink, so he has gone to get his car. We will sit it out with | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
and make sure she gets home safe. They are on hand to offer flip`flops | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
to those who have lost their shoes. The work is run by Christian charity | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
based in the city centre. It's amazing, they are there to help | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
people who are in a bad state when they come there and just help you | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
out when you are in a posithon where you can't get out of it. Thdy make | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
you feel safe in your reasstred that if something happens, there will be | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
someone there to make sure xou are OK. In Market Square, they tend to | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
another young woman. Again `lcohol is the cause. Yards away, they spot | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
someone else in need of thehr help. He has had quite a bit to drink He | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
has now fallen asleep and c`n't wake up. It's got to a point where | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
actually, it's something we can t deal with. The man is unabld to | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
stand so an ambulance is called He is assessed and taken for ftrther | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
care. The Street Pastors have also started working within statds to | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
help ensure a big night out is memorable for all the right reasons. | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
`` within states. I wasn't expecting the flip`flops! | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Obviously very useful. It's been a long journey for Ady, a young boy | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
we've featured on this programme before. Three years ago we let him | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
as he began a search for a lum and dad ` one of hundreds of chhldren in | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
care looking for a loving f`mily. Now we're delighted to report that | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
he's got his wish and has started a new life with new parents. Our | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
reporter Helen Astle reports on his happy ever after. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Like most ten`year`olds, Adx loves playing on his computer at home but | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
for Ady, having parents and a place to call home is new. I last met him | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
three years ago, he was livhng in a children's home. Social services | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
took the unusual step of allowing Ady to be on TV in the hope of | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
finding of a new family. It worked. This couple are now a proud mum and | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
dad. People will see him and see lots of needs but we didn't ever | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
really see that. It wasn't that for us, it has never felt like that He | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
is so affectionate, you can't help but fall in love with him. Ht has | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
taken a couple of long time to be able to foster Ady. In the future, | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
they hope to adopt him. It hs taken as a year to him moving in, it's | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
been a long journey, we havd been getting to know him on a gr`dual | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
basis, just to make sure he was ready and we were ready for this big | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
step. Since moving in, Ady has thrived. Before we came herd, he was | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
probably walking 30, 40 steps. A few weeks ago, we walked a mile for | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
Sport Relief. A week ago, wd had his feeding tube removed. It was great. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
For us, it's more about what he s giving us, everything he is getting | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
from us, he's giving back tdn times over. Sadly, there are more children | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
like Ady who need permanent homes, homes which make huge difference. I | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
wouldn't change the world, ht doesn't what needs he has, staying | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
forever, aren't you, kid? Dhd you see that face! | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
Now not long until Nat's here with the sport. And not long in fact | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
until the start of the Commonwealth Games. 100 days to be precise. We | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
meet the husband and wife preparing together to take on the challenge. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
It's a unique, award`winning play based on the real`life experiences | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
of servicemen and women injtred in Afghanistan. | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
Among them ` an East Midlands soldier. Lt Col Stewart Hill from | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
Draycott in Derbyshire was leading 160 men against the Taliban when he | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
was hit by an explosive devhce. Stewart suffered major brain | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
injuries ` but now he's helping to put his experiences onto thd stage. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
The Two Worlds of Charlie F comes to Nottingham's Theatre Royal from | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
tonight and deals with the realities of life on the front line. Some | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
things never change. Weapons change, war is change. But one thing has | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
never changed. This. This is where death of victory happens. It's on | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
the bodies of men, boys. Thdy try and take hours apart and we try and | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
take there apart. It's a silple as that. Earlier Stewart told le how | :17:35. | :17:48. | |
the play came about. It was a one`off play that proved successful, | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
it was given funding for a further 18 shows that was the end of it in | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
2012. That was picked up last year by commercial production te`m. We | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
have just seen the clip. But as the production trying to convey? Why | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
have injured servicemen on the stage? This is theatre at its most | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
raw, and its best. It is Shakespearean, it is Greek tragedy. | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
This is exposure to the audhence of real people, real emotions, human | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
emotions. This is real`life that you are observing onstage in a | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
theatrical context. What was it like you to go back into that he`dspace? | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
It's on the stage but you experienced it in reality. Xes, I | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
did, I didn't have any problems with reminiscing, ruminating, because I | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
have done enough of that in my own time and space, in my room or | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
whatever it is. Some people struggled initially but are fine | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
with it now. One or two continued to struggle with it in every | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
performance. Because it shows that person what they have lost. Every | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
night. What do you think it is that resonates with the audience? It s a | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
play about human emotions. Ht happens to be in a military | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
context, the context of Afghanistan but this is an exposure to pretty | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
much every emotion you can `nd will deal. It is a mix of universal | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
themes that you see and encounter all the time. What is it me`nt for | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
you personally, being in a production and touring? It hs given | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
the sense of worth. When yot are injured and discharged, Julhe is | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
your career, your sense of worth, your confidence. That pyramhd is | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
destroyed when you leave. It's about rebuilding that, that is wh`t | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
display does for me and for us. The The Two Worlds of Charlie F runs | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
until Saturday. Time for sport with Nat. First we start with Derby | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
County because at the start of the season who would have thought the | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Rams would be in third spot with four games to go and with a cheeky | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
chance of having a late run for second placed and automatic | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
promotion. But that is wherd they are and almost certain of a play`off | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
spot after a 3`1 win over Huddersfield. Kirsty Edwards | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
reports. We have bring brilliant, I think we might get up to thd | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
premiership. McLaren has bedn brilliant. Come on you Rams Derby | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
had started brightly but it was the visitors who is down the net first. | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
Steve McClaren needed his thme to `` team to regroup. What a pass to put | :21:01. | :21:09. | |
them back on level. What a great pass and a great finish. And a | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
boost, Huddersfield down to ten men. A definite second yellow. They got | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
their second courtesy of thd Huddersfield goalkeeper and with | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
half an hour left, Will Hughes was brought down in the box, thd | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
visitors were down to nine `nd the Rams had a penalty. Chris M`rtin's | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
spot kick sealed the points. Huddersfield were a bit unltcky but | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
it was the pressure we exerted, we kept playing our football and got | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
the result and did the job. That was the important thing. Derby could | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
confirm their place in the play`offs this Friday. | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
One game in the Championship tonight. Can already promotdd | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Leicester edge a step closer to becoming Champions? They pl`y | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Reading this evening. Onto Nottingham Forest, whose | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
chances of getting in the play`offs are all but over. Elsewhere in | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Nottinghamshire football though it was a great weekend for Notts County | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
and the Super Stags. New manager Stuart Pearce was watching hn the | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
stands as Nottingham Forest were beaten 5`2 in West London. The | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
caretaker boss admits it will be hard work now to make the play`offs. | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
If Notts County stay up, thdn this could be a defining match. Bottom of | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
the league earlier this season, they were two down on Saturday when Jimmy | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Spencer scored twice to get them back in it. Campbell Rice then | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
finished the stunning comeb`ck. They won four two. After a topsy`turvy | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
season, Mansfield Town are on the up. A 3`0 win against Rochd`le | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
leaves them with a chance of a late run at the play`offs. Rugby and | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
after nearly 300 games in 13 seasons with the Leicester Tigers, the | :23:13. | :23:14. | |

World Cup Finalist with England in 2007. | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
Golf and Nottinghamshire's Lee Westwood finished seventh as | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
American Bubba Watson claimdd his the US Masters title. Westwood shot | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
a 73 to finish 1`under in sdventh place. He was disappointed to once | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
again miss out on the big prize but it was his 17th top`10 finish in | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
Majors. Now finally from me, it's exactly | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
one hundred days before the Commonwealth Games begin in Glasgow | :23:52. | :23:55. | |

very good players out there with that goal, but it's everybody's | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
dream place badminton. Of course we can do it. Players who could be in | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
the way, they have been there before, so let's just see how it is, | :24:54. | :24:58. | |

sport in the world and is gdtting more and more popular. Its first | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
televised National League whll begin in October. It'll be raising the | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
profile of the sport which hs fantastic. There are half a million | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
people who play badminton every week so it will give them an opportunity | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
to see Eddie badminton playdd at a high level. Three of the te`ms from | :25:20. | :25:27. | |

Time for the weather. Acquired line`up for the Easter | :25:48. | :25:59. | |
holidays. We have got high pressure out of the west of us at thd moment, | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
it has allowed a keen north`westerly wind to develop, so quite a breezy | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
one but our highest macro mhgrating eastwards. A lot more sunshhne to | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
come tomorrow, staying dry `nd bright but those wins will be a good | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
deal lighter so it will feel warmer. Beautiful sunshine this morning a | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
bit affair with a cloud bubbling up into the afternoon. But those winds | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
are easing, they will continue to do so through tonight. It is dry, clear | :26:29. | :26:37. | |
and calm. A good recipe for a cold night, so gardeners take note. In | :26:38. | :26:50. | |
role in areas, close to fredzing. Tomorrow morning, a beautiftl | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
start, loads of lovely sunshine through the morning. Most of us | :26:54. | :27:05. | |
