In Look East tonight: Storms break out across the region, causing long | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
delays on the trains, and several homes are struck by lightning. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
Hello from David and me. Also tonight: A family pleads with | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
the public to help find their son's killer. I think of him every day | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
and every night. If you know anything, even the smallest detail, | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
I would ask you to please come forward and talk to the police. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Tiptree says if it can't build houses to pay for a new factory | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
it'll leave the village. And I will be discovering some of the many | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
hidden treasures behind these 15th century walls. There are some | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
:00:58. | :01:00. | ||
secrets to the creation of the Hello. Storms are causing | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
disruption across the East, leaving commuters facing long delays for | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
the second day in a row. Thunder and lightning have been | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
moving across the region all afternoon. Trains have been | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
suspended in the Bury St Edmunds area, and other passengers are | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
facing delays of up to an hour-and- a-half. Several houses have been | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
struck by lightning. Gareth George is in Felixstowe now. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
They forecast it and we certainly got it - a trail of thunderstorms | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
swept across the region, leaving damage in their wake. Houses were | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
hit in Cambridge, Basildon and other places. The worst damage that | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
we can show you is here in Felixstowe. Neighbours reported | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
hearing a bang and a flash at about 3pm. Firemen upstairs are clearing | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
the debris. The roof has been completely destroyed. When they | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
first got here, the flames totally engulfed the first floor and they | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
had to stop them spreading to the neighbouring property. This is what | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
people who live here told us. was like a bomb going off. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
thought we were being attacked, actually. I thought my eardrum had | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
burst. The telephones in the office flew across the room. The gentleman | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
I was serving has a bit of heart trouble and I was concerned that he | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
would be all right. He got over it OK. It was pretty loud. What other | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
disruption have the storms cost? The railways have been hit. There | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:50. | ||
are delays of 90 minutes on trains from King's Cross to Peterborough. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
Roads are treacherous, too. We have some pictures taken by a viewer. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
The Environment agency is warning of flash flooding, the problem | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
being that, because the ground is hard, the water is not running off. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
For the damage may not be over yet. Storms are still sweeping across | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
the region. For the latest information, tune into your local | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
radio station. Two of our major roads were closed | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
after a lorry fire. It closed B14 in both directions. The police were | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
also forced to close the A11 southbound to stop traffic joining | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
:03:47. | :03:49. | ||
the road. The delays and disruption lasted | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
through the rush-hour into late morning. Many motorists were asking | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
why. I heard this happened in the early R's of the morning. God knows | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
why it is not moving now. It is horrendous. If we have been there | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
for three hours. We have a business to run at it has -- and it has cost | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
us a whole day. It does get busy so I do not use it very often. I will | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
not come this way again in the future. The fire service say that | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
the road was reopened only when it was safe. This is the blackened | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
remains of batteries and other car parts. Because of the fire is being | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
:04:42. | :04:46. | ||
investigated. The driver was unhurt. -- because of the fire. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
The family of murdered teenager have spoken for the first time | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
about their loss. Amin Ismail and his friend, Mohamed | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Farah, were shot in the head in Milton Keynes last month. Today, I | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
mean he smiled's sisters said his wish was to provide for his family. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Nine people have been arrested so far, but no one has yet been | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
charged. The people that committed this crime must be caught, not only | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
to bring peace to my family but to ensure that no other family has to | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
go through this again. Another family, another emotional appeal. | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
It is almost five weeks since the murders. Today, one of the families | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
broke their silence and asked for help in catching the killer. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
think of him every day and every night. I think of him before I go | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
to sleep, and he is in my thoughts again when I wake up. These last | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
few weeks have felt like a terrible dream and we all miss him very much. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
You need to know why he is dead and who did it. We need to know these | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
questions first to go forward with our lives. This has been a fast- | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
moving investigation. Nine people have been arrested, but four of | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
those, including a 13-year-old boy, have just been eliminated from the | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
inquiry. With no-one charged and key witness is reluctant to come | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
forward, is this a case the police still believe they can solve? | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
have to keep trying. We have to do our utmost to make sure it is a | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
crime that is soft. We're not going to give up and we will continue to | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
try and gain the support of the local residents. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
The two Somali teenagers were known to the police. On the very day they | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
were shot, they had been in court on shoplifting charges, but | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
:06:49. | :07:01. | ||
detectives say that this attack is out of proportion. Amin Was an | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Arsenal fan. His family are desperate for answers as to why | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
this happened. Councils across the region are | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
finding a new way of saving money - switching off the street lights. It | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
cuts their carbon footprint and is expected to save at least �3 | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
million a year across the East. But some communities are unhappy at | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
being plunged into darkness. From the top of its Lift Tower, this is | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
Of street lights. Next week many will start to go out. Work is | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
already well under way across the county as the county council moves | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
to switch off half its 66,000 lights in a bid to save �2 million. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
We have to save millions of pounds over the next few years. We have | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
some issues that contribute towards our costs and one of those is | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
looking at street lights and how we can be cost-effective. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
But in the Brackmills area of Northampton, a group of local | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
businesses who have made big inroads in cutting crime are | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
prepared to club together to keep lights on. Their greatest fear | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
would be that the crime rate increases. If we see that, we will | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
be talking to the council again. There is also a possibility that | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
the estate will help fund some of the lights that are being switched | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
off. Steve Cooper lives on the Hemmingwell estate in | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
Wellingborough. It was all right before they turn the lights off but | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
it is going to get worse. We're not going to go out or do anything | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
because the crime rate is going to walk again and people are not going | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
to want to come out. If you are disabled or old, you're not going | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
to want to come out. There are a lot of people who use the community | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
centre. Now that it is being put in darkness people a bit wary about | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
coming out. On the first night of the switch- | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
off, this man's car was one of the first to be vandalised. There have | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
been protests and Facebook campaigns in Corby. Across the | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
region, many councils are following the trend and turning out the | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
:09:21. | :09:30. | ||
lights. Who is switching off the lights? | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Following a three-year trial, Essex County Council says the majority of | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
its 130,000 street lights will be turned off between midnight and 5am. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
The aim is to save �1 million a year. In Norfolk, consultations | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
continue over midnight to 5am switch off. In some areas it has | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
already happened. �170,000 a year savings in prospect. Suffolk County | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Council has started turning off lights between midnight and 5:30am. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
It is responsible for 55,000. Eventually, three-quarters of them | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
are expected to follow suit. Central Bedfordshire Council is | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
spending �1 million upgrading its lights and will consult with local | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
communities over an eventual switch-off in the early hours. It | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
:10:06. | :10:08. | ||
is looking for huge savings in future years. Hertforshire's now | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
embarking on an 18 month programme to save �1.3 million a year by | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
converting its lights to part-night operation. And Milton Keynes | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Council is switching off 2,700 lights on its road grid network to | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
save electricity. All these councils say busy junctions, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
roundabouts, high crime areas will all be given special consideration. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Cambridgeshire County Council says it is planning to spend millions on | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
updating its 55,000 street lights, but it's not planning to turn any | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
:10:36. | :10:40. | ||
lights off. How is the switch-off affecting you? | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
Still to come in tonight's BBC Look East: Alex will be here with the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
latest on those thunderstorms. And Shaun Peel on why the Olympics | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
needs your help. The famous Tiptree jam making | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
company is threatening to leave the Essex village if it can't get | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
permission to build new houses. Wilkin & Sons says it needs the | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
money to fund a new factory. The Tiptree jam factory - a place | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
steeped in tradition. Some production techniques have barely | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
changed in more than 100 years. But now the company wants a new �15 | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
million factory, funded in part by selling off land in the village for | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
housing. And it says if it doesn't get permission it could relocate to | :11:16. | :11:25. | |
Witham or Braintree. You're saying that if you do not get permission | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
you will know about. You could precede it like that. We need a | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
factory. We will probably here for another 125 years. In order to do | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
that, to build a factory be want, we really must realise the value of | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
some of our land. This is where the new factory would be built. To help | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
fund it, just under 200 houses would be built on both the old site | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
and here on farmland. The planning authority, Colchester Borough | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Council, says it will work with the company and the local community to | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
ensure the best result for everyone. People living nearby are not | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
impressed. They should not rely on selling houses to forward their | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
business. But the company says if it doesn't get permission it could | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
think the unthinkable and move elsewhere. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
A man and woman, both in their early twenties, have been charged | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
with causing actual bodily harm after a taxi driver was assaulted | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
in Peterborough. The attack sparked anger at public meetings. A 20- | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
year-old man and woman who were arrested earlier this month will | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
face no further action. Another part of this region is | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
about to make the switch to digital. In the coming weeks, the analogue | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
signal will be turned off in parts of Norfolk and Essex. But there's | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
some concern a small number of viewers could have their digital | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
picture interrupted by mobile phone signals. Here's our digital | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
reporter, Clive Lewis. In little more than a week's time, | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
the Sudbury transmitter, covering parts of Suffolk and Essex, will | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
stop broadcasting its BBC2 analogue signal for good. That will be | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
:13:21. | :13:24. | ||
followed two weeks later by BBC1, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. For | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
those of you in Norfolk and North Suffolk covered by the Tacolneston | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
transmitter, there'll be no switch- over until November. As for our | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
viewers in the west of the region, they went fully digital back in | :13:33. | :13:42. | |
April. Ball it is always about retuning. -- it is always about | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:55. | ||
retuning. Well over 99% of people coped without any help. But there | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
is one issue that could affect thousands of digital viewers in | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
this region, and that's interference from new 4G mobile | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
phone services expected to arrive sometime in 2013. It is because the | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
chunk of the frequency spectrum reserved for 4G sits next to that | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
used for broadcasting terrestrial digital TV signals. We think and | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
most of the problems can be resolved by fitting a filter, | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
either at the back of the television set or at the amplifier, | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
if they have won. Some places, like blocks of flats, have a filter | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
system. It would be a question of fitting it in before the filter -- | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
before the amplifier. It is estimated the cost of rectifying | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
the interference could be as much as �100 million, a bill the 4G | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
phone companies may have to pick up. Well, if you have any questions on | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
digital switch-over, remember you can contact the digitalUK helpline | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
on 0845 650 5050. An American airman from RAF | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Lakenheath has died after he was hit by a car in Suffolk. It | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
happened outside the air base on the A11 01 at Beck Row yesterday. | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Police say the man was on foot when he was involved in an accident with | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
a fellow airman driving a blue Rover. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
There have been calls in Parliament today for Government help to | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
provide a hospice for Great Yarmouth. MPs were told that the | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
town is one of the few places in Britain not to have any in-patient | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
hospice provision. A campaign by a local charity to fund a hospice for | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
the Yarmouth and Waveney areas has so far raised half the funds needed. | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
In a special debate, MPs were told that just �2 .62 per person is | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
spent on end of life care in the area. In speedway, Peterborough and | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
King's Lynn met in a local derby for the first time in nine years. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
The Panthers hosted The Stars in the Elite League last night. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
They say preparation is the key to success. There were more than | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
points at stake in this Derby. Normally miles separate the two | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
towns, tonight it would be inches. The Panthers started better. By | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
heat No. 6, they were 10 points clear in a one-sided meeting. That | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
changed within minutes. With both teams going full pelt, one rider | :16:16. | :16:26. | |
:16:26. | :16:27. | ||
ended up in the barrier. He got up to continue later on. A tactical | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
ride close the gap to just three points. Engine problems handed | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
King's Lynn a lifeline. A 5-1 win in the penultimate race for | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
Peterborough ensured a home win. There was some good racing tonight. | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
King's Lynn deserve a point out of it. It is a nice local derby. It is | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
pretty close. It is nice when you can get these sort of derbies, a | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
bit of rivalry and competition. I think everyone should enjoy that | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
and enjoy doing the meeting. The first derby between these towns | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
in years did not disappoint. King's Lynn will have their chance for | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
:17:23. | :17:32. | ||
revenge next month. Look East has been given rare | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
access to the region's Genetics Service which can test if a person | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
is more likely to inherit a disease such as cancer. But genetics isn't | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
the answer for everyone. More people than ever before are | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
choosing to have surgery to protect themselves from the disease in the | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
future. This is the morning before Sally | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Maguire expects to have had double mastectomy and reconstruction. She | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
hasn't got cancer, she's trying to prevent it. There are so many women | :17:54. | :18:04. | |
:18:04. | :18:05. | ||
who have cancer and they have to go through this, they have no choice. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
I feel selfish that I can have this done and perhaps that is taking it | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
away from someone else who has something wrong. I've got nothing | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
wrong. I do not want to have to say to my children that I have cancer, | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
I do not want to go through chemotherapy. I wanted out of the | :18:25. | :18:35. | |
:18:35. | :18:36. | ||
way. At 28, Sally Maguire also had a hysterectomy to prevent ovarian | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
cancer. From mother was dying from it at the time. Both are great | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
grandmother and grandmother died from it, too. At 43, she is going | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
ahead with a mastectomy, inspired by her mother but not knowing if | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
she has inherited the deformed gene. She cannot be tested as she has no | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
surviving family, but her history suggests she is at high risk. | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
:19:05. | :19:07. | ||
she was here she would drive me to the hospital, so why do not want to | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
:19:17. | :19:20. | ||
put my family through me having cancer. I do not want to put them | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
through feeling that you cannot do anything to help when you see your | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
mum in pain. Here at the region's Genetics Service at Addenbrooke's | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Hospital, those with a strong family history of cancer can be | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
tested for abnormal genes. They are rare and different between families, | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
but not everyone will inherit it. A surviving relative can help the lab | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
to find the cancer gene. It is better for us to be able to | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
identify the problem in a person who has the conditions so that we | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
can show that that is the cause of the disease in that family. | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
Analysis takes two months. It is described as looking for a spelling | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
mistake in a telephone directory. All the DNA samples can be stored | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
for further analysis and future medical advances, but it's | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
:20:12. | :20:12. | ||
difficult deciding whether to take the test. | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
Not only are you thinking about how that test is impacting on your own | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
health, you are thinking about your daughters for your sisters, or | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
sometimes your parents. All your mum wants is for you to have the | :20:27. | :20:37. | |
:20:37. | :20:40. | ||
best. She hated the possibility that she may have given me that | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
genetic predisposition and that I may have to go through what she did. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
Despite Sally Maguire driving to the hospital for operation, it was | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
cancelled at the last moment as she was found to have an infection. Now | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
she has decided to have a double mastectomy. She is determined to | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:07. | ||
have it soon. 400 years, King James that for a | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
new translation of the Bible. Today, a new copy went on display in | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
:21:21. | :21:26. | ||
Cambridgeshire in one of the region's finest private libraries. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
The majestic Elton Hall near Peterborough, home to the Proby | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
family since the 1660s, and home to books, lots of really old, really | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
important books. The collection boasts medieval manuscripts through | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
to 15th century Dutch and French works, plus, of course, the main | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
attraction. After 400 years, the King James Bible is the most widely | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
published text in the English language. There are 400 exhibitions | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
throughout the UK and we are one of them. Some of the most interesting | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:12. | ||
ones published word during the lifetime of Henry VIII. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
It is very rare to find a private library that has such a | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
comprehensive collections of -- collection of Bibles. The exhibits | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
tell the story from the beginning in the 14th century all the way | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
through to King James. I think people unaware of the King James | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Bible and what it means but not perhaps of what came before it and | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:42. | ||
how it came about. It is hoped the exhibition will | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
illustrate a biblical timeline from Latin through to English, and the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
creation of the Church of England. It runs until the end of August. | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
After that, these wonderful religious artifacts will go on the | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
:23:01. | :23:05. | ||
shelves. If you want to nominate someone to carry the Olympic flame | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
when it comes through our region you will have to be quick - | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
applications close at midday -- midnight tomorrow night. The search | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
is on for hundreds of people to take part. | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
Holly Watson looks like a typical teenager, but she's far from | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
typical - she is extraordinary. When her brother was stabbed to | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
death in a Sudbury pub, she set up a scheme called Bin a Blade in his | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
memory. Because of her campaign, nearly 4000 knives have been handed | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
in to the police. The chief constable has nominated her to be | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
:23:45. | :23:48. | ||
an Olympic torch bearer. My first thought was, or my God, I cannot | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
run! It is an honour and it is so nice if I get through to this. It | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
:24:07. | :24:09. | ||
would be a Niestroj to be a torch- bearer will be a real honour. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
goes anywhere near Sudbury, which is where the tragedy happened, that | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
probably would be a really fitting tribute. The Olympic torch will be | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
carried through our region next July. The full route won't be | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
announced until the end of the year, but we know it will pass through | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Peterborough, Norwich, Ipswich, Chelmsford, Cambridge and Luton. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
The organisers say half of the torch bearers will be under the age | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
of 24. It's down to a judging panel now, but Holly is hoping she can do | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
her brother proud. I think he would laugh because he knows I am not | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
very athletic. He would be laughing his head off and finding it all | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
quite funny. I think he would be proud at the same time as well. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
who do you know from down your way who should hold the torch when it's | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
down your way? Someone like Holly, the kind of person few can hold a | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
candle to. Let us hope she gets it. There will | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
be lots of people who deserve nominating. | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
Well, if they were carrying it today, it would have been put out | :25:14. | :25:23. | |
These pictures were taken in Essex. They show some lightning strikes | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
across the region. There were many reports of lightning, thunder and | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
torrential rain. There has been localised flooding in some parts. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
Low pressure has been dominating the scene and we have had this | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
:25:49. | :25:50. | ||
front draped across us. You can see where the thunderstorms were, the | :25:51. | :26:00. | |
greens and the dark blue indicating the storms. It should be largely | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
dry overnight with the showers cleaving. One or two showers are | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:16. | ||
possible in the first part of the evening. The overnight temperature | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
will be down to ten Celsius. Tomorrow will feel very different - | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
sunny spells, quite cool, a comfortable temperature. Isolated | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
showers are possible but they will be few and far between. If you are | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
heading to the north of show you might find there is the eyes -- the | :26:36. | :26:46. | |
:26:46. | :26:52. | ||
order isolated shower. -- the Norfolk Show. There will be a | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
breeze on the Suffolk coast coming from the north. There will be | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
sunshine through the day and it will be mainly dry. Things stay | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
quiet and more settled after Wednesday. High pressure is the | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
dominant feature and into the weekend -- for the rest of the | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
weekend into the weekend. Temperatures are near normal for | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
this time of year. The chance of an isolated show on Thursday. Friday | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
looks warm and dry with plenty of sunshine and offer. It stays fine | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
unsettled throughout the weekend. No more sticky, warm nights. We're | :27:29. | :27:33. |
