:00:12. > :00:13.Our top story tonight - why a teacher's concerns

:00:14. > :00:16.about a young girl were dismissed by colleagues.

:00:17. > :00:30.That girl was seven-year-old Shanay. Also tonight a retired teacher takes

:00:31. > :00:34.to the stand to deny a string of historic sex offences against

:00:35. > :00:39.children. Plus as Article 50 is trickled in Brussels your questions

:00:40. > :00:44.are answered. What happens to my children and is very chance that we

:00:45. > :00:49.will be deported or even separated? We be necessary to have a Visa? And

:00:50. > :00:55.meet the rare five Legoland. Good evening and welcome

:00:56. > :00:59.to the programme. Tonight with Maurice Flynn

:01:00. > :01:09.and me - Geeta Pendse. First tonight coroner has criticised

:01:10. > :01:12.two staff at Nottingham primary School who as undermined the safety

:01:13. > :01:15.of a little girl who died because they failed to pass on concerns

:01:16. > :01:23.about abuse. Seven-year-old Shanay Walker died. Her art and Jane

:01:24. > :01:30.grandmother were jailed. Today the coroner delivers her conclusions.

:01:31. > :01:38.Simon is outside the court. What do the coroner 's say? That article

:01:39. > :01:43.coroner has said a narrative conclusion. She said Shanay died by

:01:44. > :01:47.nonaccidental injury. She was critical of the headteacher of the

:01:48. > :01:52.primary school and another teaching assistant. She said they did not

:01:53. > :01:57.pass on say safeguarding concerns after a number of other teachers saw

:01:58. > :01:59.bruises on Shanay. And when she died she had more than 50 injuries.

:02:00. > :02:00.Shanay Walker's mum, Leanne, suffered anxiety and postnatal

:02:01. > :02:03.depression after giving birth to another child.

:02:04. > :02:07.Shanay went into care at the age of four.

:02:08. > :02:09.Foster carer Alison Robinson said she was

:02:10. > :02:13.desperate to live with her mother and Shanay would say, "I want to be

:02:14. > :02:20.I go to my friends house and have a midnight

:02:21. > :02:24.feast and eat my breakfast and go to sleep.

:02:25. > :02:27.People started noticing a change in Shanay.

:02:28. > :02:30.Eight months after getting permanent guardianship this

:02:31. > :02:33.video was taken by child psychologists, as they assessed how

:02:34. > :02:39.They roleplayed different games given to them by the assessors.

:02:40. > :02:42.The experts thought they had a good relationship.

:02:43. > :02:55.But the inquest heard this wasn't a true reflection.

:02:56. > :02:58.Kay-Ann Morris was putting on an act for the video session.

:02:59. > :03:01.Doctor Zoe Kyte said at the time of the video and

:03:02. > :03:05.afterwards, she saw positive interaction between them.

:03:06. > :03:09.We heard a more sinister side to the aunt in this audio.

:03:10. > :03:13.Kay-Ann Morris recorded a meeting with Shanay's teacher at school.

:03:14. > :03:15.As they walked away after the meeting, her own recording

:03:16. > :03:30.continues, as she shouts abuse at Shanay.

:03:31. > :03:32.Shanay was at Southglade Primary School in Nottingham.

:03:33. > :03:35.At the inquest, assistant headteacher Lisa Hyland

:03:36. > :03:38.said she was suspicious someone was deliberately causing

:03:39. > :03:44.Multiple child safeguarding concerns were raised

:03:45. > :03:47.when Shanay lived at her aunt's home, but throughout the inquest

:03:48. > :03:49.questions were asked about information not being passed

:03:50. > :03:55.Teaching assistant Linda Simms said Shanay "looked scared of aunty".

:03:56. > :03:58.She made a referral, after bruises were seen

:03:59. > :04:04.In September 2013, the inquest heard Shanay told her school

:04:05. > :04:07.she'd been beaten with a belt and hit over the knuckles with a wooden

:04:08. > :04:12.Kay-Ann Morris, who had experienced violence from her

:04:13. > :04:15.mother, was allowed to dominate meetings with professionals.

:04:16. > :04:17.She was even permitted to bring so-called

:04:18. > :04:21."spiritual guardians" to meetings - they were her friends,

:04:22. > :04:23.who backed up what she was claiming about Shanay and

:04:24. > :04:26.The inquest continued to hear about missed

:04:27. > :04:33.It emerged during the inquest that soon after Shanay's death,

:04:34. > :04:37.Southglade School headteacher Peter Smalley and teaching assistant Laura

:04:38. > :04:42.Shreaves recreated a child safeguarding document.

:04:43. > :04:44.It has gone missing, the inquest was told,

:04:45. > :04:50.They did this on a day the teacher who raised

:04:51. > :04:54.the original concern about Shanay was not in school.

:04:55. > :04:59.Just hours before she died, seven-year-old Shanay was

:05:00. > :05:02.filmed on CCTV, in her pyjamas, going to a corner shop alone.

:05:03. > :05:05.Shanay's aunt, Kay-Ann Morris, was cleared of murder.

:05:06. > :05:10.She and Shanay's grandmother were jailed after being found guilty

:05:11. > :05:15.Shanay Walker had been beaten, burned and abused.

:05:16. > :05:27.Her young life ended due to a brain injury, in July 2014.

:05:28. > :05:35.The coroner praised the dignity of Shanay's mother saying she bears the

:05:36. > :05:36.greatest loss of all. A family friend spoke on her behalf.

:05:37. > :05:39.This inquest has shown the number of services involved with Shanay

:05:40. > :05:42.It also shows the number of missed opportunities, where different

:05:43. > :05:46.actions may have resulted in different outcomes for Shanay.

:05:47. > :05:51.Leanne believes Shanay was let down on many occasions.

:05:52. > :05:53.The journey doesn't end here for Leanne.

:05:54. > :05:55.Leanne still wants justice for Shanay.

:05:56. > :06:04.No one has been held to account for her death.

:06:05. > :06:11.We are sorry for the poor sound quality An clip. Now a serious case

:06:12. > :06:17.review report is due to come out soon and the coroner said that any

:06:18. > :06:19.lessons from that, any improvements in safeguarding will be a tribute to

:06:20. > :06:21.Shanay Walker. Thank you, Simon. Earlier I spoke to Alison Michalska,

:06:22. > :06:24.who is Nottingham City Council's Corporate Director

:06:25. > :06:32.of Children and Adults. I started by asking her if anyone at

:06:33. > :06:33.the school who was involved should be disciplined.

:06:34. > :06:35.Well, I can't really comment on individual HR matters

:06:36. > :06:37.but obviously there has been a serious case review

:06:38. > :06:40.which, as the coroner said, was very comprehensive,

:06:41. > :06:43.and new issues have emerged through the coroner's court.

:06:44. > :06:46.So they are obviously now subject to an in-depth investigation at the

:06:47. > :06:51.But you can't just point the blame at the teachers all the

:06:52. > :06:54.school, this was professionals from the local authority which the

:06:55. > :07:02.The requirements at the time were not adequate, so the

:07:03. > :07:05.Government actually changed the rules around a year ago around

:07:06. > :07:10.Sorry to interrupt, but you essentially

:07:11. > :07:13.saying that your department everything right?

:07:14. > :07:15.No, I'm not saying that we did everything right.

:07:16. > :07:17.And it's with the benefit of hindsight

:07:18. > :07:19.that we see where things could have been changed.

:07:20. > :07:22.And since actually Shanay died a number of things have changed

:07:23. > :07:28.Retrospectively, this young girl was failed.

:07:29. > :07:30.Do you not feel any sense, as the head of a

:07:31. > :07:32.department, that that was not good enough?

:07:33. > :07:36.It's never good enough when children are harmed.

:07:37. > :07:39.I think what we have to remember, though, is that,

:07:40. > :07:42.as the coroner has said as well, that the aunt who we entrusted the

:07:43. > :07:47.care of Shanay to actually managed to deceive most of the people

:07:48. > :07:52.A serious case review was done shortly after her death.

:07:53. > :07:55.It will be published now, when we can take into account what

:07:56. > :07:58.the coroner is saying, to see if there are more

:07:59. > :08:01.But there has been a lot of action and improvement since.

:08:02. > :08:04.OK, Alison Michalska, thank you for joining us.

:08:05. > :08:07.You're watching East Midlands Today - and if the triggering of Brexit

:08:08. > :08:10.has left you with some questions, you're in the right place.

:08:11. > :08:12.Very shortly we'll be putting some of your questions

:08:13. > :08:23.to our local experts, here in the studio.

:08:24. > :08:26.Nottinghamshire Police have made a direct appeal to a missing mother,

:08:27. > :08:29.asking her to contact them to let them know

:08:30. > :08:31.that her and her two children are safe.

:08:32. > :08:34.42-year-old Samantha Baldwin from Newark is believed

:08:35. > :08:37.to be with her two sons, nine-year-old Louis

:08:38. > :08:41.The family were last seen in Nottingham on Monday.

:08:42. > :08:44.Today, the police have urged her to pick up

:08:45. > :08:48.the phone and let them know that she and the boys are OK.

:08:49. > :08:51.A 19-year-old has appeared in court after being charged

:08:52. > :08:57.22-year-old Pedro Godinho died from a stab wound after being found

:08:58. > :09:00.seriously injured in Beaumont Leys on Sunday morning.

:09:01. > :09:04.His family say he had a good heart and promising life ahead of him.

:09:05. > :09:07.Ezekiel Braithwaite, of no fixed address,

:09:08. > :09:10.is also charged with attempted GBH and will be back

:09:11. > :09:16.A retired teacher from Nottinghamshire has taken

:09:17. > :09:19.the witness stand to deny a string of historical child sex offences.

:09:20. > :09:24.Christopher Metcalfe's accused of raping a teenager,

:09:25. > :09:28.Our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball,

:09:29. > :09:38.He said the abuse simply didn't happen.

:09:39. > :09:40.He was asked in detail about allegations, that go

:09:41. > :09:47.and he repeatedly denied sexually abusing a nine-year-old pupil,

:09:48. > :09:55.She says Christopher Metcalfe kissed and touched her inappropriately,

:09:56. > :09:58.at a swimming pool, during a story-time class,

:09:59. > :10:05.He told the jury that pupils did sometimes visit,

:10:06. > :10:11.And he also explained why he took a teenager home,

:10:12. > :10:15.after he moved to this street in Kirkby in Ashfield.

:10:16. > :10:18.He said he was simply dropping his dogs off

:10:19. > :10:23.from the Skegby Hall children's home, where she was a resident,

:10:24. > :10:28.His barrister said, "Did you rape her, Mr Metcalfe?"

:10:29. > :10:32.He replied, clearly and confidently, "No, I did not".

:10:33. > :10:41.Under cross-examination this afternoon, he was challenged over

:10:42. > :10:44.why he changed his account of what happened -

:10:45. > :10:49.because he told the police he wasn't aware of whether he'd kissed

:10:50. > :10:55.Today Christopher Metcalfe told the jury it was because he'd

:10:56. > :10:59."I was suffering from shock" he said.

:11:00. > :11:04.And "I didn't really know what was going on".

:11:05. > :11:08.Sarah Knight, for the prosecution, said "Do you feel ashamed and sick

:11:09. > :11:12.Again Christopher Metcalfe replied, "I did not do it".

:11:13. > :11:20.He'll be back on the witness stand tomorrow.

:11:21. > :11:23.So the letter has been signed, sealed and sent and Britain's

:11:24. > :11:25.divorce from the European Union is officially under way.

:11:26. > :11:27."It's happened - and there's no turning back."

:11:28. > :11:31.That's what Theresa May said as she formally triggered Brexit.

:11:32. > :11:33.Responding to the UK's notice to quit, EU President Donald Tusk

:11:34. > :11:40.But things are far from over - in fact, the questions,

:11:41. > :11:43.uncertainties and complex negotiations are only just starting.

:11:44. > :11:47.Before we look at those, just what has the EU ever done

:11:48. > :11:53.The EU is the East Midlands biggest market.

:11:54. > :11:56.About 200,000 jobs, that is one in 11, I linked to trade with

:11:57. > :12:02.Most of those jobs are in manufacturing metals, cars and the

:12:03. > :12:07.Nearly 44% of the region's exports go to the EU

:12:08. > :12:16.generating about ?8.5 billion a year.

:12:17. > :12:21.And virtually half of the East Midlands imports are from the EU.

:12:22. > :12:28.That is worth about ?10.8 billion a year. In the past five years more

:12:29. > :12:35.than 220 investment projects have received money from the EU, creating

:12:36. > :12:39.or protecting 16,000 jobs here. Almost quarter of a million EU

:12:40. > :12:47.citizens living East Midlands. That is one in 18. They worked mainly in

:12:48. > :12:48.hotels and manufacturing. 9000 are employed in the NHS and adult social

:12:49. > :12:49.care alone. In a moment we'll be

:12:50. > :12:51.putting some of your Brexit First, though, our political editor

:12:52. > :12:55.Tony Roe has been in Westminster Tony, all eyes have once again

:12:56. > :13:10.been on the Commons. As you say, historic day, and it

:13:11. > :13:20.shows you just how quickly politics changes. As I was looking down at

:13:21. > :13:23.the packed benches, there was the Eurosceptic fur North West

:13:24. > :13:26.Leicestershire. He's been there since 2010 and he's always been a

:13:27. > :13:30.thorn in the side of the Conservative Government. His own

:13:31. > :13:34.Government. It was that awkward minority that forced David Cameron

:13:35. > :13:37.to hold the referendum to give the British people their say. And we

:13:38. > :13:43.know what the British people have said. He predicted it would happen.

:13:44. > :13:46.It leaves now a minority on the Conservative benches of those who

:13:47. > :13:51.are worried about what is going to happen over the next two years.

:13:52. > :13:56.People like Nicky Morgan and our Subaru. Don't forget, Theresa May,

:13:57. > :14:02.the Prime Minister, that we should come together. As a nation, does

:14:03. > :14:02.that mean we are all now Eurosceptics?

:14:03. > :14:05.We're joined by two experts who we're hoping will be able

:14:06. > :14:08.Professor Jeff Kenner, the chair of European Law

:14:09. > :14:11.at the University of Nottingham and Chris Hobson from

:14:12. > :14:15.Let's get our first question - it's from West Bridgford,

:14:16. > :14:21.My name's Lee, I'm 45 and self-employed.

:14:22. > :14:23.I would like to know what assurances we can get from the

:14:24. > :14:27.politicians that will help business to continue to trade with the EU

:14:28. > :14:30.when exporting and importing, enabling trade to carry on for

:14:31. > :14:46.The EU is our biggest trading partner. It's unlikely to be as easy

:14:47. > :14:50.as it currently is. It's important in the negotiations that we put low

:14:51. > :14:52.tariffs or no terrace at the heart and when it comes to customs

:14:53. > :14:58.barriers that they are minimised as far as possible. Each MRC need be

:14:59. > :15:02.properly resorts to Gilles with this. I think it will continue to be

:15:03. > :15:03.really important to trade with the EU.

:15:04. > :15:06.Next up, a question from Derby - which voted to leave -

:15:07. > :15:09.My name is Katie, I'm originally from the Czech Republic.

:15:10. > :15:11.I live in Derby, I'm married to a British

:15:12. > :15:13.citizen, and I work in the public sector.

:15:14. > :15:16.I would like to know which rights I will have after Brexit.

:15:17. > :15:23.The good news is that the Government has given a commitment today that

:15:24. > :15:29.people's existing rights will continue during the Pope period of

:15:30. > :15:34.membership. And also both sides have agreed that it is top of the agenda

:15:35. > :15:38.for the negotiations. I think the EU will not be prepared to reach an

:15:39. > :15:43.agreement with the UK unless all of the acquired rights that EU citizens

:15:44. > :15:44.have now are preserved. I think that will be a deal-breaker.

:15:45. > :15:46.Our third question is also from Derby.

:15:47. > :15:50.The main thing I want to know about Brexit and the

:15:51. > :15:54.reason why I voted out was because of the immigration question, and

:15:55. > :15:58.whether we're going to be able to control the people coming in.

:15:59. > :16:13.It's unlikely that it is going to change very much, because Theresa

:16:14. > :16:18.May says she wants this deep and special relationship and the EU is

:16:19. > :16:22.going to insist that as far as possible there is free movement of

:16:23. > :16:26.people, not the Surrey in the way we know now, but that would have to be

:16:27. > :16:33.the condition of trade agreement. There will have to be something very

:16:34. > :16:37.close to what we have now. And of course we are going to continue to

:16:38. > :16:45.need those EU workers to perform essential services and functions. EU

:16:46. > :16:47.employees are really important part of the workforce in East Midlands.

:16:48. > :16:49.That is not going to change. I enjoy travelling to Europe and my

:16:50. > :16:55.question would be is it going to be necessary to have a visa for every

:16:56. > :17:09.time I want to travel to a European Providing the security issues can be

:17:10. > :17:17.dealt with quickly in the negotiations, I'm sure there will

:17:18. > :17:22.continue to be visa free travel. It is in everyone's interests. I'm

:17:23. > :17:22.pretty confident. Time for one last question.

:17:23. > :17:25.I'm wondering whether Al country will be

:17:26. > :17:33.as strong economically after Brexit as it was before.

:17:34. > :17:42.What we can say is we are going into it in a strong position. We serve

:17:43. > :17:52.via our members every quarter and they have been investing. They are

:17:53. > :17:54.looking to grow so we are coming at it from a position of strength.

:17:55. > :17:58.And if you have a question to ask our experts, then

:17:59. > :18:00.they're staying with us for a special live Facebook

:18:01. > :18:02.discussion straight after the programme this evening.

:18:03. > :18:05.You can post your questions now, and watch it live on our

:18:06. > :18:12.A week on from the attack at Westminster in London,

:18:13. > :18:15.a vigil has been held in Leicester in tribute to the victims.

:18:16. > :18:17.Dozens of people from all faiths gathered on Welford Road this

:18:18. > :18:21.It's one of a number of events being held

:18:22. > :18:23.across the country to mark the attack, which left four people

:18:24. > :18:29.We all need to work together to ensure that the safety

:18:30. > :18:33.and the security of our nation is of paramount importance.

:18:34. > :18:37.What took place at Westminster Bridge attacked the very

:18:38. > :18:40.heart of the foundation of our democracy, and we need to stand

:18:41. > :18:43.together to say that people of all faiths and of no faith

:18:44. > :18:53.It's a busy day everywhere and for sport as well.

:18:54. > :18:57.Sadly they don't include how to spot a winner -

:18:58. > :19:01.but sports news first because Claudio Ranieri has spoken

:19:02. > :19:03.out saying his sacking by Leicester City was one

:19:04. > :19:08.The Italian was dismissed nine months after winning

:19:09. > :19:15.He's told media in Italy, "I have been through a lot in my long

:19:16. > :19:17.career, but never anything like this."

:19:20. > :19:23.Ex-England international Mathew Tait and Italy prop Michele Rizzo have

:19:24. > :19:25.both agreed new deals to stay at the club.

:19:26. > :19:30.As have talented youngsters Harry Thacker and Tom Wells.

:19:31. > :19:32.Frantic work's being done to make sure the first speedway

:19:33. > :19:34.meeting of the season goes ahead in Leicester.

:19:35. > :19:37.The Lions have a new owner and new signings -

:19:38. > :19:39.but they've had problems with the track.

:19:40. > :19:42.An open practice session had to be cancelled today because of surface

:19:43. > :19:47.The team are due to meet Swindon on Saturday.

:19:48. > :19:51.The management insist it'll be all right on the night.

:19:52. > :19:56.You know, it don't look the best but it is...

:19:57. > :19:59.It looks a lot worse than it is, just because we've

:20:00. > :20:05.And by tomorrow it should all be laid back down and everything

:20:06. > :20:12.I'm very, very confident, to be honest.

:20:13. > :20:15.What's the secret of a successful horse racing trainer?

:20:19. > :20:24.He's just moved from his hired yard at Newark to a purpose built complex

:20:25. > :20:29.And Mark Shardlow has been to see him.

:20:30. > :20:34.A man and his horses - Mick Appleby trains 92 of them

:20:35. > :20:39.It's not something you're going to get rich out of,

:20:40. > :20:42.unless you're lucky enough to have some very good horses.

:20:43. > :20:45.It's a way of life, more than anything.

:20:46. > :20:48.I've done racing ever since I left school.

:20:49. > :20:50.But I've never done it for the money.

:20:51. > :20:55.It's a way of life that starts at dawn and

:20:56. > :20:59.In the morning, the horses go on the gallops in their groups,

:21:00. > :21:02.alongside the Melton to Oakham Road in the new purpose-built

:21:03. > :21:07.His secret is to get the horses fit and

:21:08. > :21:11.He's just fantastic with the horses, he

:21:12. > :21:15.seems to know what horses want - his horses are very, very happy.

:21:16. > :21:19.A lot of the horses that we've bought,

:21:20. > :21:21.they've come from other places and sometimes they've maybe got

:21:22. > :21:26.And he's very good at getting them sweet, getting them enjoying life.

:21:27. > :21:28.And whenever you come here you see happy horses.

:21:29. > :21:31.There are 22 staff in the yard and lots of casuals.

:21:32. > :21:34.It's a team that are currently the all-weather track champions, and

:21:35. > :21:37.with the season coming to a close, are hoping to retain it.

:21:38. > :21:39.I mean, it wasn't something I was going to try

:21:40. > :21:43.and win this year because we're moving yards halfway through the

:21:44. > :21:46.winter campaign, so it'll be hard to retain the title,

:21:47. > :21:51.so we didn't really concentrate on doing it.

:21:52. > :21:54.But now we're in with a good chance of trying to win it again.

:21:55. > :21:57.And then there are the owners - always welcome here,

:21:58. > :22:01.Some have a string of horses, others, a tiny part-share in

:22:02. > :22:08.I mean, it's a privilege to be able to come to the yard like

:22:09. > :22:12.this and meet up with other owners, but then on race days we go

:22:13. > :22:18.You know, you see them here, we feed them carrots

:22:19. > :22:24.There may be no star horses, big race winners, but Mick

:22:25. > :22:27.Appleby's string are winning enough to make him one of the kings of

:22:28. > :22:38.Just finally from me, last night we were at the East Midlands newest

:22:39. > :22:44.And Nick Matthew, who we spoke with last night, led Nottingham

:22:45. > :22:49.It means Nottingham and Leicester are both challenging for a semifinal

:22:50. > :23:02.I have no doubt will follow them if they get there. Thanks, Colin.

:23:03. > :23:04.Now, is it something in the air, in the water?

:23:05. > :23:06.Are the sheep locally increasing production because of Brexit?

:23:07. > :23:08.Well, whatever it is, it's certainly proving to be

:23:09. > :23:10.an exceptional lambing season in parts of Derbyshire.

:23:11. > :23:14.Yes, stand by for a rare five-legged lamb!

:23:15. > :23:18.Plus another set of sheep each giving birth to four young -

:23:19. > :23:26.also highly unusual, as James Roberson reports.

:23:27. > :23:36.Two sheep at this from, each with three lambs, that's a lot of lambs

:23:37. > :23:40.each but still not the full set. In one of the stables are two more

:23:41. > :23:45.lambs being hand reared. They are the children of those out there,

:23:46. > :23:51.which have had for lambs each this year and cannot feed them all. The

:23:52. > :23:55.family who run the farm is a last autumn was ideal for the sheep to

:23:56. > :23:59.have multiple offspring and not just on their farm. On a commercial scale

:24:00. > :24:04.I've heard that there are a lot of triplets and quads this time. We had

:24:05. > :24:08.a lovely autumn with lush grass, a good time for the sheep when they

:24:09. > :24:20.got pregnant, so it made their lives easier. Meanwhile, just up the road,

:24:21. > :24:25.this flock look normal enough except for this fellow. Yes, he really does

:24:26. > :24:35.have five legs. Yes, very surprising to us. Saw him running around. And

:24:36. > :24:49.it's been fine? Yeah, he's healthy. Unusual? Yes. We believe there was

:24:50. > :24:56.one in Wales a few years ago. This sheep was named Forest after Forest

:24:57. > :25:04.Gump. So we have spring lambs, do we have

:25:05. > :25:13.any more spring weather? Something a bit warm and brighter on

:25:14. > :25:21.the way tomorrow. Today was fairly cloudy with outbreaks of Rhine, but

:25:22. > :25:25.brightening up tomorrow. Temperatures ran about 17 or 18

:25:26. > :25:29.degrees. Here is what is going on. The low pressure is still out the

:25:30. > :25:34.West, still sending us some weather fronts but it is a slight shift in

:25:35. > :25:40.the wind direction to a southerly that will drag in the milder air

:25:41. > :25:46.tomorrow. Through tonight, and this evening, a few outbreaks of rain. It

:25:47. > :25:54.will be fairly cloudy, will see more showers in the early hours but again

:25:55. > :25:59.a mild night. Ten or 11 degrees. Tomorrow has a fairly cloudy start,

:26:00. > :26:04.a few outbreaks of rain, possibly heavy, but brightening up in the

:26:05. > :26:09.afternoon, still some high-level medium cloud. Not total blue skies

:26:10. > :26:17.but it will be warm. Temperatures at a maximum of 19. If you see the sun

:26:18. > :26:23.it will be lovely. Friday has a cold front moving from west to east. That

:26:24. > :26:26.will bring some rain. There will be sunshine around but it will

:26:27. > :26:32.introduce some cooler air. By the time we move into the weekend there

:26:33. > :26:36.will be April showers on Saturday. Don't take the location of the blue

:26:37. > :26:40.to literally. It just means we could see showers through the day.

:26:41. > :26:46.Temperatures as a maximum of 14. There could also be some thunder. I

:26:47. > :26:52.pressure building in Sunday, so turning drier and brighter. Slightly

:26:53. > :26:53.clearer that will see the tomorrow. Not a bad forecast, definitely

:26:54. > :27:05.starting to feel more springlike. Very shortly, our guests will be

:27:06. > :27:11.back for the Brexit special. Do join us on Facebook. Send us your

:27:12. > :27:17.questions. For now, from us, goodbye.
