When the crowds melt away, photographer captures eerie scenes | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
of an abandoned city. Welcome to Wednesday's | :00:41. | :00:56. | |
programme with Anne Davies First tonight, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
a Leicestershire-based holiday company has stopped trading leaving | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
hundreds of holidaymakers stranded and thousands | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
of future bookings cancelled. All Leisure Group, which is based | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
in Market Harborough, operates the cruise lines | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Swan Hellenic and The collapse has prompted | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
up to 150 job losses, Well, Amy Harris is | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
there for us tonight. Yes, this is the headquarters | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
of All Leisure Holidays Limited, one of four travel companies | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
in a group based here It provided holidays | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
on two cruise ships, the Minerva and the Voyager, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
under the brand names Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
sailing around destinations like North Africa and the Far East, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
with many passengers flying Its collapse has | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
affected 400 travellers. Luckily, most of those had | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
finished their cruise so flew home as scheduled, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
but we understand 60 were stranded midway | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
through their cruise holiday. 7,000 future bookings have | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
also been cancelled, Clearly concerning news, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
but the firm was ATOL protected, so the Civil Aviation Authority | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
will help to repatriate those affected and all holidaymakers | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
will receive refunds. The work we are doing | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
at the moment is to, back to the UK, and that is | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
happening around about now, And for | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
those 13,000 or so people who have arrangements for those to get a full | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
refund from the ATOL scheme. And how is this affecting | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
workers where you are? Three of the four companies | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
in the group have been sold by administrators, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
and that's saved 200 jobs. All Leisure Holidays | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
workers are not so lucky. 50 people here have lost their jobs, | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
and 100 more who were working It's been confirmed this afternoon | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
that a Leicester primary school will remain shut for the rest | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
of this week, after dozens of windows and glass roof | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
panels were smashed. The police say two 11-year-old boys | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
have since been arrested and bailed. It will mean a very late | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
start to the New Year for staff and 460 pupils | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
at Braunstone Community Primary, Clearing up after a blitz of damage | :03:41. | :03:59. | |
on the school. The staff were backing today at temp two in | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Leicester after dozens of glass panes in windows, doors and roof | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
panels were smashed and broken. It has left the staff upset at what has | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
happened. Safety is very important because the broken glass alone could | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
put people at risk. Doors and windows have been smashed as well as | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the displays across to schools that have been damaged, and some of the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
other rooms that have been vandalised with spray paint. It is | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
not just glass that has been broken. A play area specially created for | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
nursery aged children has also been completely vandalised. We do feel | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
really upset because we worked so hard last year developing the | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
outside area. We got donations. We needed magical put the children and | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
they love about here and it has just been trashed, so it is upsetting. | :04:48. | :04:59. | |
But there has been some good news. Local firms have rallied round. I | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
have just learnt that dues since have donated some Bach and some soil | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
for us because obviously we have had to remove that all because it had | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
shards of glass in it. They are coming down with that. I have had an | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
e-mail from a local pastor that said if we need any support, that they | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
are there for us to give us a hand with the clear up. That is lovely. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Leicestershire police say to 11-year-olds have been questioned | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
and released on bail. The School revealed this afternoon that it | :05:31. | :05:31. | |
won't open again until next week. A jury has been hearing how | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
a seven-month-old baby girl "suffered a catastrophic | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
and ultimately fatal injury" that, experts say, could only be caused | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
by excessive force . At Leicester Crown Court, | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Chuan-fang Zheng, who's 30, The prosecution claim she shook | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
baby Phoebe "repeatedly, vigorously and aggressively" | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Jo Healey reports. Chuan-fang Zheng was left in charge | :05:55. | :06:09. | |
of baby Braunstone Community Primary on the evening of March the 22nd the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
year before last. Within 30 minutes of being left on her sole carer, the | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
court heard, Phoebe suffered a catastrophic and ultimately fatal | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
injury, with significant bleeding on her brain and behind her eye and was | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
unconscious. With the baby in her arms, Chuan-fang Zheng ran to the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Chinese takeaway next door where Chuan-fang temp three's mother and | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
father worked. They rushed the baby to hospital and there were extensive | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
medical efforts to separate young life, but the injuries inflicted | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
were so severe that the baby died four days later. She never regained | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
consciousness. The prosecution said it would never be possible to | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
establish exactly what happened behind closed doors. When she was | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
left, Phoebe was in good health, he said. Chuan-fang Zheng must have | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
caused significant and abuse of head trauma known as shaken baby and | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
described by an expert as being very much at the severe end of the range. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
It would have been immediately apparent to Chuan-fang Zheng what | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
she had done, he said, but the court was told she made a concerted effort | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
to lie about the events which led up to it and tried to cover up her | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
actions. She tried to blame the mother's efforts to resuscitating BB | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
for causing serious injuries. Chuan-fang Zheng denies manslaughter | :07:35. | :07:35. | |
and the trial is continuing. Let's return now to the two | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
so-called garden villages approved in our region | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
by the Government on Monday. A critic of the idea has said today | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
he's not convinced the scheme near Derby meets the definition set | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
out by the Government. A local councillor says | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
the area earmarked for Infinity Garden Village isn't | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
a new village at all, At least 2,000 homes are planned | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
to be built on this land, creating what the Government has | :07:56. | :08:08. | |
named Infinity Garden Village. Garden villages are one of the ways | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
it is trying to ease This one, off the A50 | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
between Sinfin and Stenson Fields, will be one of 14 nationally, | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
but one local councillor here says the Government has already failed | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
to meet its criteria for what a garden village | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
is supposed to be by All of the news houses | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
at the northern end will be facing, over more than a mile, | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
the existing houses. You are going to pretend that that | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
somehow is a distinct community? It doesn't meet the criteria on that | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
ground and it doesn't meaet the ones saying that the land should perhaps | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
be in public ownership, not a blade of grass | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
round here is in public ownership, and that it should | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
be brownfield land. Well, again, this has been farmed | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
from time immemorial. So, at first sight, this area | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
doesn't seem to fit the bill for a garden village, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
but the Government has also said that it doesn't consider there to be | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
a single template for a garden village and doesn't want to impose | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
a set of development That responsibility lies | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
with the local authorities and the proposal to build | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
what is being described as "high-quality homes" here has | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
been defended as essential This commitment here is to provide | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
quality homes because we need to have in this area people | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
who are going to support the industries - they need | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
quality homes to live in. But the plans have received a mixed | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
reaction from local residents. It's just adding on to Derby | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
and Derby's problems. You are going to lose | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
all the countryside. Work on the project is expected | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
to begin at the end of next year. Meanwhile, 130 homes already | :09:44. | :09:54. | |
confirmed for this site will start Well, the other garden village | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
will be at Spitalgate Heath It will sit west of the A52 | :09:57. | :10:08. | |
and consist of around 3,700 homes. Covering 224 hectares, | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
it will include 110,000 square metres for what's called "modern | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
employment space", which could provide up to 4,000 new jobs | :10:20. | :10:30. | |
and allow existing local South Kesteven District Council got | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
it all approved as a garden village and the council's leader, | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Bob Adams, joins us You are planning for 3,700 | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
homes near Grantham. So what s the difference | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
between a huge housing estate Well, a lot of it is to do with the | :10:46. | :11:01. | |
density. The densities in the garden village or be considerably less than | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
in a mass development. I believe it will give us a great opportunity to | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
build a quality players were people and families would want to raise | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
their families. Is a garden village just a fancy name for a big housing | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
estate? Well, no, not really. It will be a village insofar as not | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
only will there be housing but there will be housing, recreation, open | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
land. Schooling as well. It will be at contained village within the | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
parameters of that area. I am sure there are bound to be concerned | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
about strains on services. Are you happy that it will be complete | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
within itself? Yes, I am. I am completely happy. I think it is a | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
great thing for the area. I think it has brought together the public and | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
private sector to work jointly to achieve success and I think it is an | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
acknowledgement by government that the area is an ambitious, can do, | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
will deliver a place for development to take place. You are responsible | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
and accountable not to the government for giving them this | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
garden village. You are happy that that is what you will be able to | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
achieve? Yes, absolutely. There was a long process to go through in | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
terms of negotiations and planning consents of the rest of it, but I am | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
absolutely confident that we can deliver what the government want us | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
to deliver Bob Evans, thank you for speaking to us. | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
A person has died in a house fire in Rutland. | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue were called in the early | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
hours of this morning to a property in Cottesmore. | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
They entered to rescue someone inside who was trapped. | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
The cause of the fire is now being investigated by both | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
the Leicestershire Fire and Rescue and police. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Shares in the Leicestershire-based company Next have tumbled | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
after disappointing sales over Christmas. | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
The retailer has warned that pre-tax profits could fall by as much as 14% | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
It is blaming a weaker pound and people buying fewer | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
The company's chief executive also says prices could rise, by up to 5%. | :13:14. | :13:33. | |
More than 2.5 million people have watched a film about... | :13:34. | :13:52. | |
Still to come: An apocalyptic view of one of our cities. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
A young photographer captured these images of Nottingham's abandoned | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
The parents of a young man who died from leukaemia are urging more sixth | :13:58. | :14:19. | |
form colleges to host potentially life-saving donor | :14:20. | :14:20. | |
They are continuing the campaign started by their son to educate | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
others about giving blood and bone marrow. | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
Parents Keith and Kay Sudbury proudly continue the campaign | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
started by their son, Adrian. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
The journalist died from leukaemia in 2008, but he has left | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
His wish was beautiful in its simplicity. | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
He wanted every 16 to 18-year-old in the country to be taught | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
the facts about blood, stem cell and organ donation. | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
The couple, from Pinkston in Nottinghamshire, founded | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
'Register and Be' lifer information sessions, which are now held | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Over six years, 18,000 youngsters have joined the stem cell register. | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
Regular sessions have been held that Bilborough College, | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
Three youngsters here have even become bone marrow donors. | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
Even if they don't all sign up, they talk about it to their friends, | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
they take that message off to work and university and it is the wider | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
effect, as well as the almost 700 students we have got | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
And now the drive continues, to encourage more schools | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
In the Midlands region, we are already in over 100 schools, | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
which is fantastic, but nationally, throughout the whole country, | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
we are now in 800 schools, which is a fantastic number | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
of schools, but if anyone is listening to this | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
who would like us to come in, then contact Anthony Nolan | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
The message is clear - the more people that join | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
the register, the more lives that will be saved. | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Four men have been arrested in Derbyshire on suspicion | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
Two men, aged 24 and 27, were seriously injured after a fight | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
on King Street in Belper, outside the Green House pub. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Three men from Eastwood and one from Nottingham have all been | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
arrested on suspicion of attempting to murder the 27-year-old. | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
Police say they have been questioned and released on bail. | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Families living near a new waste treatment centre say they're alarmed | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
at plans which could increase the amount of rubbish | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
Campaigners lost their fight to stop an incinerator | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
They say the company behind the scheme wants to take an extra | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
But Resource Recovery Solutions says there are no plans to receive any | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
extra waste and it has merely applied to update its | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Now, they are voted in to make their neighbourhood, | :16:56. | :17:09. | |
their county or even the world a better place. | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
But almost as soon as they start work they face mistrust, | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
So why would anyone in their right mind want to be a politician | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
and is our disdain for politics deterring good people | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
Here's our Political editor, Tony Roe. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
We knock it and call it the 'Westminster bubble' - | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
talking among themselves, hidden from the real world. | :17:28. | :17:28. | |
We hear that so often it harms reputations. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
I think MPs across-the-board are working really hard | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
and they are trying to do a really good job for their constituents, | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
but they are facing online abuse and, actually, | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
I think it's particularly bad for women. | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
Bex Bailey used to work for Liz Kendall, | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
Party workers knock on doors not just when there's an election. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
A lot of the abuse that is happening is targeted at women and a lot | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
of the stuff that people are saying is very gendered, so it's rape | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
threats and death threats and, actually, I am really worried that | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
that will put young women, in particular, off politics. | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
Alistair Jones is a principal lecturer in politics at de | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
He says social media has a lot to answer for in explaining the lack | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
In that respect, we are in a truly horrible place. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
I mean, one of the problems is, social media is supposed to be this | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
vehicle to make us all more democratic and some of the things | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
that being said are inciting racial hatred, inciting religious | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
The murder of Jo Cox ushered in a period when people did | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
appreciate the job our politicians do, but it didn't last long. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
The danger is those across the political spectrum, | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
especially women, who want to help people may be put off | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
by the nastiness and the division which has emerged since | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
I think, on a local level, we have been given training on how | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
to protect ourselves, how to watch out for | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
But a lot of respect actually comes, I find, | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
from members of the public is, even if they don't agree with you, | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
that they feel that you hold a strong conviction and that | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
if at any time that they need your help, that you will always be | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
It may be called a bubble, but they will be back | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
in their constituencies by the next weekend talking to the people | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
It has to be a tough job, doesn't it? | :19:20. | :19:40. | |
First tonight, a big blow for the Leicester Tigers. | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
Their star player, Manu Tuilagi, has been ruled out for six | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
It is the latest in a string of setbacks for the highest paid | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Meanwhile, the players and acting coach have denied reports | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
they forced out the Director of Rugby, Richard Cockerill, | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
Four seasons, just 22 premiership starts. Manu Tuilagi has another | :19:55. | :20:13. | |
hospital appointment. It took three players to stop at the weekend and | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
the simple blow to the back of the right need to injure the cruciate | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
ligament. We are devastated for him because he has worked so hard to get | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
back to where he is out at the moment. Someone stole the thunder on | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
the day of claims of a player revolt and the coach's ultimatum to sack | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
Richard Cockerill were flatly denied. We don't get involved in any | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
of those decisions. It came as a bit of a shock. What is not disputed by | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
the differences between Richard Cockerill and the man of debris | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
charge. On a personal level we got on pretty well, we had a good | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
relationship. On a professional level, we just had a lot of | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
differences I suppose, in terms of the loss how to play the game and | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
how to play the game and hopefully with tree in and draw it out of the | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
players. Sometimes when those fundamental differences are still | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
far apart, it is hard to give the clarity and direction that the Group | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
are needed. Richard Cockerill has been back here on the training | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
ground to say goodbye to both Aaron Mark and the players today. Richard | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
Cockerill was responsible for bringing many players to the academy | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
here into the first-team and developing them as players. He | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
brought me in the middle of nowhere, a complete unknown, and everything I | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
have achieved has involved him and been because of him. So, will run | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Marg to enough to get the job full-time, or will the choose | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
somebody like Johnson? Or will they bring in the big international name? | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Or will they bring in the big international name? | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
Well, as one door closes on Richard Cockerill, | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
England Coach Eddie Jones has suggested there might be a place | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
for Cockers in the National coaching set up. | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
In football, a swift first move in the transfer | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
They've signed Belgian under-21 international Julien de Sart | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
The defensive midfielder is at Pride Park until the end of the season. | :22:15. | :22:27. | |
But on the way out is goalkeeper Lee Grant. | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
Already on loan at Stoke, he's now signed permanently. | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Notts County have had their first attempt to bring | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
They had targeted Lincoln City's Danny Cowley - | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
a young manager who has lead Lincoln to the top of the | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
But the Imps have refused to allow Notts County to speak to Cowley | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
County sacked John Sheridan two days ago. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Leicester Speedway is under new management after being saved | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
from possible closure before Christmas. | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
David Darcy replaces David Hemsley, the man who brought speedway back | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
to Leicester in 2011 after an absence of 28 years. | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
The club are now starting contract discussions to build a team in time | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
I have to say, if you have not tried Speedway, it is well worth a look. | :23:05. | :23:18. | |
It is so exciting! Before the weather, have you ever | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
wondered what a city looks like if you take all the people | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
out of it? Tonight, we can show | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
you after a photographer captured on camera a series of scenes | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
very rarely witnessed. The eerie pictures show Nottingham's | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
normally busy and bustling city They were all taken by a young local | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
photographer on Christmas morning, Clumber Street in Nottingham, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
but something is missing. Dean Saunderson is a local | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
photography student, but while most were just waking up | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
on Christmas Day, he was already in the city centre taking | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
pictures like this. It was quite eerie, | :23:55. | :24:06. | |
it was quite spooky. You can hear the buses now, | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
but it was just so quiet, Dean came into Nottingham to take | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
photographs for his college project. So, today, as you can see, | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
there are all the stalls around us and there are people, | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
but when I arrived here on Christmas Day - | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
absolutely no one around. There were no stalls about, | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
it was very, very spacious. And it wasn't just the people, | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
even the roads were deserted. When I came here on Christmas Day, | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
I realised there was absolutely no traffic in the road at all, | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
so I decided to get a photo right It was an incredible sight | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
to see no one on the road. It felt really cool just stand | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
there, not worrying that anyone was going to hit me at all, | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
it was amazing. My idea of heaven, walking around | :25:09. | :25:33. | |
the city with no people! The sad thing is, just so grey. | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
But there may be some sunshine on the way! That was very smooth! | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
Ordinarily, I would start with your weather watcher pictures but tonight | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
I would like to show you some pictures that have been taken from | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
the University of Leicester's students, the physics students have | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
taken pictures of the stratosphere. We don't have them, so you will have | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
to imagine them! I told you that would go wrong. Tonight, how | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
widespread frost. Because of the clear skies. I ever, make sure you | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
put your covers on because you will be scraping the windscreens tomorrow | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
morning. Temperatures down to -2, in the countryside you could get down | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
to minus six degrees. Exceptionally cold, but the beautiful star to the | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
day tomorrow. Cool, crisp with blue skies to start tomorrow. A great day | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
for getting out and about walking. The winds will stay like that will | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
be very cold. Temperatures will not get up about three degrees. The | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
sunshine, especially for the West, could get hazy as the cloud begins | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
to increase. That is part of the front coming through. For Friday, | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
and frosty start, then the rain will push on in the afternoon. High | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
pressure will then dominate so will turn milder for the weekend. We are | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
looking at temperatures round about 9 degrees. For the weekend, a lot of | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
usable weather with a fair amount of cloud, but for many of us it will be | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
dry and we lose those overnight frosts will starve so, to sun up, | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
tomorrow that the state, but it will be very cold indeed. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
Can we have a quick look at those pictures? There you go! Gorgeous! It | :27:31. | :27:40. | |
is the stratosphere, it is from the weather balloon. | :27:41. | :27:41. | |
Lovely. That is it from us. Goodbye! as he explores Naples, | :27:42. | :27:51. | |
Venice and Florence. It's like we're walking through | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
a giant's armpit. We can follow the escape route | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
of Michelangelo. | :27:59. | :28:06. |
