:00:08. > :00:10.It's almost 6.30pm - you're watching East Midlands Today.
:00:11. > :00:20.Tonight - a dramatic rise in hate crimes following the EU referendum.
:00:21. > :00:23.There is no doubt that the referendum result unfortunately gave
:00:24. > :00:26.some people the confidence to behave in a way and use language towards
:00:27. > :00:28.certain groups in our communities which they maybe wouldn't have done
:00:29. > :00:41.Also tonight, the death of seven-year-old Shanay walker. Sheep
:00:42. > :00:47.farmers on alert, after a series of attacks by dogs. And the blind
:00:48. > :00:53.Alpine skier who is now a crack shot with a rifle. I was dealt a really
:00:54. > :00:57.rough card when I lost my sight years ago but I have played the best
:00:58. > :01:09.hand I could with the deck of card I was given.
:01:10. > :01:11.Good evening and welcome to Wednesday's programme.
:01:12. > :01:16.First tonight - the big surge in hate crimes
:01:17. > :01:22.Across England and Wales record levels were recorded by most police
:01:23. > :01:27.Here in the East Midlands, Nottinghamshire saw the country's
:01:28. > :01:41.second biggest percentage increase. Geeta's been looking at the figures.
:01:42. > :01:44.Yes, all our police forces saw a rise in reported hate crimes
:01:45. > :01:49.Nottinghamshire police saw 189 reports of hate
:01:50. > :01:51.crimes up by 75% compared to the previous three months.
:01:52. > :01:54.In Leicestershire there were 213 reports - that's up by 60%.
:01:55. > :01:58.Derbyshire saw 117 up by 8%. Whilst Lincolnshire was up by 59%.
:01:59. > :02:02.The statistics include five types of racially or religiously
:02:03. > :02:05.aggravated offences which range from assaults to criminal damages.
:02:06. > :02:11.So can the EU referendum be blamed for this spike?
:02:12. > :02:13.Well, Nottinghamshire Police, which saw the second highest
:02:14. > :02:17.percentage increase, says it definitely made an impact
:02:18. > :02:21.but there were also a number of other factors in play.
:02:22. > :02:24.There is no doubt that the referendum result unfortunately gave
:02:25. > :02:28.some people the confidence to behave in a way and use language towards
:02:29. > :02:32.certain groups in our communities which they maybe wouldn't have done
:02:33. > :02:38.However, that resulted in some significant
:02:39. > :02:42.increase in media coverage of this issue and some direct government
:02:43. > :02:44.response to the issue of hate crime and there is also
:02:45. > :02:50.increased people's confidence to come forward.
:02:51. > :02:54.During this period, Nottinghamshire Police also
:02:55. > :02:57.became the first police force in the UK to introduce
:02:58. > :02:59.misogyny as a hate crime, which was actively
:03:00. > :03:06.Despite these varying reasons, the head of the Equality
:03:07. > :03:08.and Human Rights Commission warned that many people remain anxious,
:03:09. > :03:11.and that the triggering of Article 50 would be the next major milestone
:03:12. > :03:15.and it was vital to support people who may feel at risk.
:03:16. > :03:23.A coroner says communication between professionals "failed
:03:24. > :03:26.miserably" before the death of a seven-year-old girl.
:03:27. > :03:29.Shanay Walker died in 2014 in Nottingham.
:03:30. > :03:32.Her aunt and grandmother are in prison for cruelty
:03:33. > :03:35.to the girl who was found to have more than 50 injuries.
:03:36. > :03:42.An inquest into her death is continuing as Simon Ward reports.
:03:43. > :03:49.It is thought at least ten safeguarding referrals were made
:03:50. > :03:52.about Shanay Walker but the inquest into her death talks about missed
:03:53. > :03:54.opportunities from professionals involved to work together.
:03:55. > :03:58.She was in the care of her aunt, Kay-Ann Morris who was jailed
:03:59. > :04:00.for cruelty to Shanay, along with Shanay's
:04:01. > :04:09.A week and a half into this inquest, and we continue to hear that
:04:10. > :04:11.concerns were raised about Shanay Walker
:04:12. > :04:17.The coroner Maureen Casey says there is evidence that information
:04:18. > :04:19.was withheld from the local authority in the months
:04:20. > :04:25.Shanay's aunt Kay-Ann Morris was said to have dominated
:04:26. > :04:28.interviews with professionals and persuaded them that the injuries
:04:29. > :04:31.were accidental or even self-inflicted by Shanay.
:04:32. > :04:34.Shanay went Southglade Primary School in Nottingham.
:04:35. > :04:37.While safeguarding referrals were made, staff have been
:04:38. > :04:39.questioned about how effective procedures were at the school.
:04:40. > :04:41.The coroner said communication channels failed miserably
:04:42. > :04:44.between the school, local authority and health professionals.
:04:45. > :04:47.Giving evidence today was incontinence nurse Stephanie Joyner.
:04:48. > :04:50.She had concerns but said, on reflection, I should
:04:51. > :05:00.She could not explain why she didn't.
:05:01. > :05:02.The aunt Kay-Ann Morris was allowed to bring
:05:03. > :05:04.so-called spiritual guardians to meetings with professionals.
:05:05. > :05:07.They were her friends who backed up what she said.
:05:08. > :05:14.Still to come - an East Midlands MP visits a refugee camp close
:05:15. > :05:18.Anna Soubry's there to see how British aid donations are helping
:05:19. > :05:36.the victims of Syria's brutal civil war.
:05:37. > :05:39.An anonymous donor has given a girl ?10,000 after thieves
:05:40. > :05:46.stole a collection tin which was helping to fund
:05:47. > :05:49.a life-changing operation. Nine-year-old Kareena Hayes
:05:50. > :05:52.from Long Eaton in Derbyshire has cerebral palsy.
:05:53. > :05:54.She needs an operation to help her walk unaided.
:05:55. > :05:56.But it's not available free on the NHS.
:05:57. > :05:59.A charity box was stolen from a cafe in Borrowash last week.
:06:00. > :06:01.Now a businessman's putting up the money
:06:02. > :06:09.The number of people out of work in the East Midlands has gone up again.
:06:10. > :06:17.Figures from October to December show there
:06:18. > :06:24.That's 6,000 more than the previous quarter.
:06:25. > :06:26.The Work and Pensions Secretary Damien Green says the great news
:06:27. > :06:29.for the East Midlands is that more than two and a quarter million
:06:30. > :06:34.people are in work, which is almost a record.
:06:35. > :06:36.East Midlands Airport says it's experienced a 15% increase
:06:37. > :06:42.in passenger numbers so far this year.
:06:43. > :06:48.Last month nearly 220,000 people travelled
:06:49. > :06:53.through the airport. That compares with about
:06:54. > :06:54.190,000 in January last year.
:06:55. > :06:57.New routes and more frequent flights to popular destinations mean
:06:58. > :06:58.the airport's expecting its biggest ever summer.
:06:59. > :07:01.Dog owners are being urged to think before they let
:07:02. > :07:03.their pets off the lead - after a series of attacks
:07:04. > :07:07.At least eight animals died in the latest incident
:07:08. > :07:11.The National Farmers Union says it's a growing problem.
:07:12. > :07:14.And just a warning, you may find some of the images in Giles Taylor's
:07:15. > :07:22.The sheep were shut away with dozens of others in this pen,
:07:23. > :07:25.ready for lambing season when it was attacked
:07:26. > :07:28.by two dogs on Friday. We have had dog attacks before
:07:29. > :07:31.but not like this because this was more of a frenzy.
:07:32. > :07:33.And we were very lucky we didn't lose more.
:07:34. > :07:37.But the ewes at the moment, there are a couple being treated
:07:38. > :07:40.with antibiotics now and the scars are still there and we don't know
:07:41. > :07:45.Well, the attack started in this field early on Friday morning
:07:46. > :07:50.But a number of them were chased and caught by the dogs and we can
:07:51. > :07:58.My wife found two in the field where she feeds a cat.
:07:59. > :08:02.And we had a drive round and discovered three more had been
:08:03. > :08:09.The National Farmers' Union says there was a 50% rise
:08:10. > :08:12.in attacks last year, costing farmers across
:08:13. > :08:23.It's not just a case of losing a few sheep with a dog attack.
:08:24. > :08:25.It's the follow-up problems you get, the vets bills.
:08:26. > :08:31.It is the fact that you've lost maybe your breeding programme.
:08:32. > :08:38.Plus all the time and hassle the former has to put up with because of
:08:39. > :08:41.disturbances to his flock. Big dogs are carnivores and if they are on
:08:42. > :08:52.the loose and in a frenzy, they just want to kill. Nick says he won't
:08:53. > :08:57.know the true cost of the attack and to lambing season begins next month.
:08:58. > :09:02.Nursery children had to be moved to safety
:09:03. > :09:05.after a digger ruptured a gas line in Nottingham this morning.
:09:06. > :09:07.The emergency services set up a 50-metre cordon
:09:08. > :09:10.on Carlton Road in Sneinton - and up to 50 properties, including
:09:11. > :09:14.the nursery, were evacuated. Steve Orme reports.
:09:15. > :09:17.Morning rush hour and traffic is brought to a standstill.
:09:18. > :09:20.A digger hit a low-pressure gas main causing a severe leak.
:09:21. > :09:23.The emergency services were called to deal
:09:24. > :09:27.with the possibility of an explosion.
:09:28. > :09:30.There was a very pungent, strong gas smell.
:09:31. > :09:33.Potentially, it would've been a huge incident if it had exploded.
:09:34. > :09:35.We have been working closely with the other emergency services
:09:36. > :09:37.so it has been a joint emergency service project.
:09:38. > :09:41.About 50 homes and businesses were evacuated.
:09:42. > :09:44.Once we had realised what we'd got, that is when the chaos started
:09:45. > :09:47.and it was arranging that chaos to make it calm and that is
:09:48. > :09:52.A sports session was due to take place on the playing fields over
:09:53. > :09:57.the road for around 90 children who are off school for half-term.
:09:58. > :09:59.That had to be called off. Among the first businesses to be
:10:00. > :10:02.evacuated was this nursery next to the building site.
:10:03. > :10:05.It was breakfast time for around 25 children
:10:06. > :10:10.I literally left with no bag, no nothing.
:10:11. > :10:12.I actually nearly walked out with my slippers on.
:10:13. > :10:15.So it was just getting the children out.
:10:16. > :10:21.We just put them into pushchairs, an evacu-cart and we took
:10:22. > :10:24.them to a youth centre around the corner which kindly opened up
:10:25. > :10:27.for us, so we could go in there and use the hall.
:10:28. > :10:29.The nursery should be open as normal tomorrow.
:10:30. > :10:32.The National Grid which is responsible for the gas supply says
:10:33. > :10:34.a temporary repair was carried out on the pipes straightaway
:10:35. > :10:46.A Nottinghamshire MP's been speaking to us from close
:10:47. > :10:49.to the Syrian border, where she's gone to see how
:10:50. > :10:53.millions of refugees are living in freezing camps.
:10:54. > :10:56.Anna Soubry's visiting Jordan with a leading charity,
:10:57. > :10:59.that's using British aid donations to keep victims of the war alive.
:11:00. > :11:01.Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, managed to get
:11:02. > :11:04.through to her this afternoon, and he joins us now.
:11:05. > :11:10.She's gone to a huge camp called Zaatari,
:11:11. > :11:13.with the charity Oxfam. It's a place where tens of thousands
:11:14. > :11:17.of refugees are surviving in appalling conditions.
:11:18. > :11:21.And Anna Soubry says she wants to see if Britain
:11:22. > :11:24.can do more to help. Today she's been meeting several
:11:25. > :11:29.people whose homes were bombed in Syria's civil war.
:11:30. > :11:33.Who've fled across the border escaped across the border,
:11:34. > :11:38.They're now stranded in the desert, often
:11:39. > :11:42.Some have been there for several years.
:11:43. > :11:45.And I got through to Anna this afternoon, on a rather
:11:46. > :11:49.This is basically like a great big piece of rubble.
:11:50. > :11:52.There is no vegetation, there are no trees,
:11:53. > :11:55.there are no bushes, there are no plants.
:11:56. > :11:58.And they are surviving. It is absolutely freezing.
:11:59. > :12:01.These people want to go home and they want to go back
:12:02. > :12:03.to Syria but at the moment, the reality is, I think
:12:04. > :12:06.it is going to be many years before they can.
:12:07. > :12:09.The government's already supporting some Syrian refugees
:12:10. > :12:15.So why's she worried about what's happening in Jordan?
:12:16. > :12:21.The numbers here are miniscule by comparison.
:12:22. > :12:23.The Government's focussing Britain's support
:12:24. > :12:29.And we're spending a lot on foreign aid to deter those
:12:30. > :12:31.refugees from trying to get trafficked into Europe.
:12:32. > :12:35.But Anna Soubry says they desperately need more help.
:12:36. > :12:38.It is like as, if my constituency in Kimberley suddenly had bombs
:12:39. > :12:40.hitting it and people flee for their lives.
:12:41. > :12:42.They literally take whatever they can.
:12:43. > :12:46.These people did not create the situation that they are in.
:12:47. > :12:49.And they are genuinely just like you and me.
:12:50. > :12:52.But they have lost their home, lost everything, because of war
:12:53. > :12:59.And many of them are still traumatised by it.
:13:00. > :13:03.And she got a bit teary - just before we lost the signal.
:13:04. > :13:05.As she told me about a Syrian accountant, who she met today.
:13:06. > :13:09.His family was about be resettled in the States.
:13:10. > :13:13.But for now - he's stuck - in the camp.
:13:14. > :13:17.A man from Leicestershire says his life has been transformed
:13:18. > :13:21.thanks to a device which acts like an emergency response service.
:13:22. > :13:25.Sean Fitzpatrick from Loughborough said he used to barely
:13:26. > :13:27.leave his home because he worried about his health.
:13:28. > :13:29.Now thanks to a monitor installed in his flat,
:13:30. > :13:34.Sean, who has diabetes, is the youngest person
:13:35. > :13:37.in Charnwood with the condition to have the monitor.
:13:38. > :13:44.For Sean Fitzpatrick, this monitor has changed his life.
:13:45. > :13:47.The device prompts him to press a button to show he's well
:13:48. > :13:50.and if he misses the prompt, a family member or a
:13:51. > :14:04.How can I help you? Hello, I am checking my activity button to make
:14:05. > :14:07.sure it is working. Yes, that has come through perfectly fine, thank
:14:08. > :14:10.you. Today was just a test,
:14:11. > :14:13.but if Sean needed help, Sean has heart problems
:14:14. > :14:17.and type one diabetes - He can fall unconscious if his blood
:14:18. > :14:20.sugar levels get too low. Before he had the device installed,
:14:21. > :14:28.life was very different. It has made me more confident that I
:14:29. > :14:29.will be fine if something does happen. I'm not scared or petrified
:14:30. > :14:35.which are used to be. The checks to make sure Sean's
:14:36. > :14:38.OK, come from here - Sean is the only person in Charnwood
:14:39. > :14:50.with diabetes to have the monitor. Often people think it is more of an
:14:51. > :14:53.emergency response and only for old people. Sean is quite different
:14:54. > :14:54.because he is younger but it shows the service can be used for people
:14:55. > :14:58.with disabilities and illnesses. 1,700 people have signed
:14:59. > :15:00.up to the Lifeline project in Charnwood.
:15:01. > :15:03.The council offers a 24/7 response, 365 days a year.
:15:04. > :15:05.And the cost? Just under ?4 a week
:15:06. > :15:13.for each household. It gives him a bit more lease of
:15:14. > :15:17.life because we don't have to keep checking up on him and he doesn't
:15:18. > :15:22.have to keep telling us if he is going out. Before this I used to sit
:15:23. > :15:23.in all day with the curtains closed and got depression. But no, I am
:15:24. > :15:26.happy. Sean is now looking forward
:15:27. > :15:28.to spending more time, out of his flat with his family
:15:29. > :15:36.and his new baby niece. Still to come on the programme -
:15:37. > :15:41.a warming trend. Lucy's standing by with our
:15:42. > :15:43.East Midlands weather forecast. Plus a new campaign to raise money
:15:44. > :16:02.for vital research to help children It is time for sport and Colin,
:16:03. > :16:10.quite a few goals last night. Just a few, it was busy, married,
:16:11. > :16:15.you might say. 22 goals in all, an average of 5.5 per match and they
:16:16. > :16:20.were all close. Roller-coaster of comeback late goals. It is perhaps
:16:21. > :16:28.Derby's defeat that would have the most impact. This is the story of
:16:29. > :16:36.the Championship. Here's the story of the Championship
:16:37. > :16:49.through commentators, Derby have scored! Darren Bent runs
:16:50. > :16:52.away to claim it. That is when the wheels came off leaving manager
:16:53. > :16:59.Steve McClaren frustrated. The goal before half-time... We said, keep
:17:00. > :17:06.doing what we're doing at half-time and make sure we get the next goal.
:17:07. > :17:14.Great fighting spirit. We still go forward and we go for it. We
:17:15. > :17:18.equalise. It is just poor defending. We will keep fighting. We will keep
:17:19. > :17:22.playing football and doing the right things and if we get in there, we
:17:23. > :17:26.deserve to and if we don't, we don't deserve to. Nottingham Forest were
:17:27. > :17:39.also quick to take the league. -- lead. He has challenged. Nottingham
:17:40. > :17:44.Forest have scored. Fulham scored twice before Nottingham Forest
:17:45. > :17:47.equalised. Caretaker manager Gary Brazil would have settled for that
:17:48. > :17:51.but was fuming at what happened next. Just one little bit of a
:17:52. > :17:55.switch off where we don't track our runner. And we find ourselves 3-2
:17:56. > :17:57.down. Just another note
:17:58. > :18:04.on Nottingham Forest - where the accounts for
:18:05. > :18:11.2015-16 have revealed an operating loss
:18:12. > :18:13.of over ?23 million. Owner Fawaz Al Hasawi
:18:14. > :18:18.has written off nearly Which means the official
:18:19. > :18:28.loss is ?2.2 million. Exeter's David Wheeler
:18:29. > :18:31.had put the visitiors into the lead in the first half.
:18:32. > :18:35.So far, so ordinary. In fact, it stayed 1-0
:18:36. > :18:43.until Exeter had a man sent off and then still managed
:18:44. > :18:46.to double their lead in the 88th. So deep into injury time,
:18:47. > :18:48.surely this from Richard Duffy was mere consolation
:18:49. > :18:50.for the Magpies? It was last night, and that
:18:51. > :18:55.meant another Notts goal within seconds of the first.
:18:56. > :18:57.George Grant getting it. An astonishing point
:18:58. > :18:59.from the jaws of defeat. Now, in a way we've saved
:19:00. > :19:02.the best till last. Mansfield Town had a proper see-saw
:19:03. > :19:18.match against Accrington. They'd fought back
:19:19. > :19:24.from 2-0 and 3-1 down to level things at 3-3
:19:25. > :19:26.with this penalty. But the match was far
:19:27. > :19:28.from over and Accrington took the lead again -
:19:29. > :19:31.also from the spot. So it was 4-3, going
:19:32. > :19:33.into the final minute. COMMENTATOR: Forward
:19:34. > :19:37.up towards White. Good header on.
:19:38. > :19:39.He is going to try his luck. What a finish from Johan Arkin.
:19:40. > :19:41.What a game. It is a 4-4 and are we done yet?
:19:42. > :19:59.Who knows in this game? There will be no challenge cup final
:20:00. > :20:03.for ice hockey's Nottingham panthers this year. After winning the trophy
:20:04. > :20:05.for six years out of the last seven, panthers were knocked out by
:20:06. > :20:09.Sheffield in the semifinal last night.
:20:10. > :20:14.Changes at the top of Derbyshire county cricket. Chairman Chris
:20:15. > :20:15.Grande resigning to prepare for an election bid at the England and
:20:16. > :20:23.Wales cricket board. All of the top level women's road
:20:24. > :20:27.racing teams coming to Derbyshire this summer. It has been announced
:20:28. > :20:29.that the winning's talk's fourth stage will focus on the country's
:20:30. > :20:37.peaks. One man's determination to do is
:20:38. > :20:42.sport at the highest level. Jamie Weller was in the Royal Navy when he
:20:43. > :20:45.went blind and three years ago he took up skiing. Now he has added
:20:46. > :20:51.shooting to his skills to complete in biathlon. He is representing
:20:52. > :20:52.Great Britain in the forces Paralympic sport team. This is his
:20:53. > :20:56.home story in his own words. If you were to put your hands
:20:57. > :21:02.in front of my face and that blind Once I lost my sight,
:21:03. > :21:07.I thought to myself, doing something as crazy as outpoint
:21:08. > :21:10.skiing, downhill skiing, I join the Armed Forces
:21:11. > :21:25.para-snowsports team and I learnt to ski with a guide.
:21:26. > :21:28.So my guide skis in front of me. He has communication on him,
:21:29. > :21:31.so he has a microphone on his back and a microphone across his mouth
:21:32. > :21:34.and he is giving me instruction I had quite a bad accident
:21:35. > :21:40.and ended up in hospital. My comms failed and I came out
:21:41. > :21:44.of the course for safety reasons and then I went straight
:21:45. > :21:47.into a pillar. So I took the slightly safer option
:21:48. > :21:51.of cross-country skiing and started biathlon.
:21:52. > :21:56.It is two sports in one. It is a combination
:21:57. > :22:01.of shooting and skiing. And people say to me, how do you
:22:02. > :22:05.shoot as a visually-impaired person? The gun is connected to the target
:22:06. > :22:10.and I have a control box with some headphones on and as I come up
:22:11. > :22:13.on to target, the closer I get to the target,
:22:14. > :22:19.there is a pitch that comes through my ear and it starts beeping
:22:20. > :22:22.and as you get closer to the target, the pitch goes higher
:22:23. > :22:24.and to a particular point when you then shoot...
:22:25. > :22:28.And the you fire off. Because you are aiming using your
:22:29. > :22:34.ears rather than your eyes. It is a new skill
:22:35. > :22:38.you have to develop. With biathlon, you ski,
:22:39. > :22:41.you shoot, you ski, you shoot And for every shot you miss,
:22:42. > :22:49.you then have to do a penalty loop. I was dealt a really rough card
:22:50. > :22:52.when I lost my sight, some years ago, but I played
:22:53. > :22:56.the best hand I could with the deck I see educating people
:22:57. > :23:02.that have an impairment, have a disability or whatever
:23:03. > :23:06.you want call it, it doesn't stop you from doing
:23:07. > :23:09.something you want to do. I don't see myself
:23:10. > :23:12.as a disabled person. I see myself as a person
:23:13. > :23:26.who can't see very well. We should get Charlie Slater out to
:23:27. > :23:27.tell him to take a bow! Extraordinary. And he tells his
:23:28. > :23:30.story really well. Families affected by childhood
:23:31. > :23:33.cancer have come together today to They're celebrating 20 years
:23:34. > :23:39.of Nottingham University's Children's Brain Tumour Research
:23:40. > :23:42.Centre. Life Cycle aims to raise half
:23:43. > :23:45.a million pounds for more research into one of the most common causes
:23:46. > :23:47.of cancer deaths in children. 12-year-old Eloise Mills is one
:23:48. > :23:55.of hundreds of young patients treated at the Children's Brain
:23:56. > :23:59.Tumour Research Centre based at the Queen's Medical
:24:00. > :24:03.Centre in Nottingham. I don't remember anything
:24:04. > :24:05.about when I was being ill She was fine for a couple of years
:24:06. > :24:12.but then gradually she has been having follow-up scans
:24:13. > :24:17.and they noticed that there was a teeny tiny little bit that
:24:18. > :24:20.must have been missed and they decided that it
:24:21. > :24:23.would gradually start causing problems so they decided
:24:24. > :24:26.that they had better take that out. Brain tumours kill more children
:24:27. > :24:30.in the UK than any other cancer. The University of Nottingham
:24:31. > :24:33.and the Queen's Medical Centre are at the forefront
:24:34. > :24:36.of tackling the disease. We are less able to treat children's
:24:37. > :24:39.brain tumours than we are some of the children's tumour types,
:24:40. > :24:43.so that every month, ten children in the UK die
:24:44. > :24:47.from a brain tumour. Today, families and staff got
:24:48. > :24:51.together to launch Life Cycle, the latest fundraiser
:24:52. > :24:54.for the Children's Brain At the moment, we're now able
:24:55. > :25:01.to cure to seven out of ten children diagnosed with a brain tumour
:25:02. > :25:04.and I think our next big focus apart from early diagnosis is causing less
:25:05. > :25:06.harm while The current campaign aims to raise
:25:07. > :25:12.half a million pounds for research but a further ?3 million
:25:13. > :25:15.is needed for a new scanner It is hoped a cure for this
:25:16. > :25:20.disease will be found Excellent work. Time now for the
:25:21. > :25:43.weather with Lucy. We are firmly into the milder air
:25:44. > :25:46.and it was quite soggy end to the day today. Tomorrow, it will be
:25:47. > :25:50.largely dry with a couple of showers to look out for and plenty in the
:25:51. > :25:54.way of sunny spells. Today, the further east you were, the Betty
:25:55. > :25:58.Yufei in terms of brightness and there was plenty of coming from the
:25:59. > :26:04.south-west which locally was quite heavy. As we move through the day,
:26:05. > :26:08.it was this occluded front producing all the cloud and it will clear out
:26:09. > :26:12.to the north east as we move through this evening. Looking at this
:26:13. > :26:16.evening and overnight, it will be largely dry for the majority and
:26:17. > :26:23.once we see the end of that band of rain. Some patchy cloud and clear
:26:24. > :26:26.spells. Temperatures falling to about five Celsius. Slightly cooler
:26:27. > :26:30.than last night but still quite mild. A frost free start to the date
:26:31. > :26:34.and could be some miss and fog patches but they should lift quite
:26:35. > :26:38.quickly and then plenty of brightness around. A chance of
:26:39. > :26:45.seeing a couple of showers but most of seeing dry day and plenty sunny
:26:46. > :26:49.spells. Temperatures at a maximum of 10 Celsius. In the double figures
:26:50. > :26:52.with a south-westerly breeze. Friday, we start to see high
:26:53. > :26:57.pressure building up from the south, this ridge of high pressure which
:26:58. > :27:01.means things will be quite dry. There will be some mist and fog
:27:02. > :27:05.first thing, particularly over high ground and OECs brightness as we go
:27:06. > :27:10.into the afternoon. Temperatures still in the double figures. As we
:27:11. > :27:14.move towards the weekend, staying mild, plenty of cloud around and we
:27:15. > :27:18.will see some brightness on Saturday. Could be thick enough to
:27:19. > :27:23.produce the odd spot of drizzle and Sunday, looking similar, plenty of
:27:24. > :27:27.usable weather. Not a bad weekend on the way once we get all of that rain
:27:28. > :27:35.out of the way and plenty of brightness tomorrow.
:27:36. > :27:42.10 degrees is almost balmy! Nice to have more female company on the
:27:43. > :27:44.sofa. Week I will be back with a late bulletin, hope to see you then.
:27:45. > :27:56.Goodbye. when farmers leave
:27:57. > :27:59.their daily routines behind... Right, here we come, Dorset!
:28:00. > :28:03...for a show day.
