:00:16. > :00:20.To read, an exclusive report on how Essex County Council spent almost

:00:20. > :00:26.�700,000 on chauffeur-driven cars. Frankly, I think it was an abuse.

:00:26. > :00:35.Essex did not need three chauffeur- driven cars. We know that because

:00:35. > :00:39.they have cut it down to one. tonight: A huge drop in profits and

:00:39. > :00:47.the share price at Thomas Cook, but it says jobs in this region are

:00:47. > :00:50.safe. National Grid unveil their route for 90 new pylons. We talk to

:00:50. > :00:56.Suffolk's celebrity campaigner Griff Rhys Jones. And were Cornwall

:00:56. > :01:06.has its past these, Bedfordshire has its clangers - we look at what

:01:06. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:13.makes them so on usual. Hello. First tonight, a bad day for Essex

:01:13. > :01:16.County Council. The words of the leader, as the council faces yet

:01:16. > :01:19.more questions about spending. Today was the first time the full

:01:19. > :01:22.council has met since its former leader Lord Hanningfield was jailed

:01:22. > :01:25.earlier this month. Councillors voted overwhelmingly to suspend the

:01:25. > :01:34.peer's allowance of �11,500. There were also calls for a full inquiry

:01:34. > :01:38.into improper use of council resources, while he was leader. In

:01:38. > :01:40.a moment we'll hear from the new leader of the council, but first

:01:40. > :01:44.here's our Home Affairs Correspondent Sally Chidzoy. I

:01:44. > :01:49.Presidents have them, royalty has them and so does the Prime Minister.

:01:49. > :01:59.Essex County Council has one, too. A chauffeur-driven car, which is

:01:59. > :02:00.

:02:00. > :02:05.the only one left after the fleet was reduced. A BBC Freedom of

:02:05. > :02:10.Information request shows the council spent 700 and -- �677,000

:02:10. > :02:15.on running them in the last five years. Frankly, I think it was an

:02:15. > :02:19.abuse. Essex did not make three chauffeur-driven cars. We know that

:02:19. > :02:25.because they have cut it down to one. We need to dig deeper into

:02:25. > :02:29.what was going on during the Lord Hanningfield years. Using them as

:02:29. > :02:33.taxes, funded by the taxpayers of Essex. It was lowered

:02:33. > :02:36.Hanningfield's use of the taxi to ferry and from the Council of us to

:02:36. > :02:42.the House of Lords that Walker's attention. The cost of it has

:02:42. > :02:47.shocked many councillors. To be able to account for 670,000 downs

:02:47. > :02:51.over that five-year period, I find it quite extraordinary. One really

:02:51. > :02:57.wonders what an hour the journeys were and how that could be

:02:57. > :03:03.justified. The Jaguar was mainly used by the council chairman, who

:03:03. > :03:06.said, of the Prime Minister could have a carding show -- so should he,

:03:06. > :03:11.because of the vast number of official functions he attended

:03:11. > :03:16.across is its. The choice of cardboard by the council has been

:03:16. > :03:26.criticised. I would have liked to have seen a more modest model. I

:03:26. > :03:29.would suggest that the Prius, a very economical car would set an

:03:29. > :03:33.example to the people of Essex that we're trying to be more economic

:03:33. > :03:37.goal with taxpayers' money. Essex County Councils says it will

:03:37. > :03:46.continue to review the cost to taxpayers, of having a chauffeur-

:03:46. > :03:48.driven car. With another police investigation now underway into

:03:48. > :03:52.Lord Hanningfields's council expenses what damage has this done

:03:52. > :03:56.to the authority? Earlier I spoke to Peter Martin - its new leader -

:03:56. > :03:59.and I started by putting it to him that �678,000 spent on chauffeured

:03:59. > :04:05.cars was pretty shocking. First of all, I don't recognise that figure

:04:05. > :04:10.you have just quoted to me. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on

:04:10. > :04:15.specific figures that may or may not be part of the police

:04:15. > :04:19.investigation. Regardless of Loch Hanningfield and the investigation

:04:19. > :04:23.into him, it seems extraordinary that will he was leader, other

:04:23. > :04:31.senior councillors like yourself did not know what was going or and,

:04:31. > :04:35.on the expenses front. He was cell certifying himself. It was a

:04:35. > :04:40.question of Loch Hanningfield, as leader, claiming expenses. And

:04:40. > :04:46.there was no leak for members to know. What I have done since

:04:46. > :04:50.becoming leader in February, is institute a complete review of our

:04:50. > :04:56.governance arrangements. We have a new constitution, we have a new

:04:56. > :05:00.system for claiming expenses, for providing receipts for of the

:05:00. > :05:05.expense, and I am now confident that with all the action I have

:05:05. > :05:08.taken as leader since February, that we have a water pipe system

:05:08. > :05:15.that is as least as good and probably better than any other

:05:15. > :05:19.council in the country. -- watertight system. It seems

:05:19. > :05:25.extraordinary that you did not have that system in place before. In any

:05:25. > :05:30.company people have to produce receipts for expenses. The officers

:05:30. > :05:35.spoke to Loch Hanningfield on the number of occasions about it. --

:05:35. > :05:40.Lock Hanningfield. And they questioned his use of expenses and

:05:40. > :05:46.the production of receipts. But all that action was under taking since

:05:46. > :05:49.July 2009, when the Criminal Prosecution Service announced that

:05:49. > :05:56.it would be investigating a lot Hanningfield's House of Lords

:05:56. > :06:00.expenses. It cannot just be blamed on one man. The image one guess is

:06:00. > :06:05.of a profligate council that spends a lot of money chauffeuring s top

:06:05. > :06:08.dogs around, the highest chief- executive -- highest paid chief

:06:08. > :06:12.executive in the region and it looks as if it has been spending

:06:12. > :06:18.much more money than they needed to have done. Since I became leader we

:06:18. > :06:21.have reduced the number of cars from three to one, we have a one

:06:21. > :06:25.car which has for the use of the chairman of the council. We're not

:06:25. > :06:30.profligate. We are extremely tight with our money and we offer

:06:30. > :06:35.extremely good value for money to our residence. This is a very

:06:35. > :06:41.unfortunate episode. Obviously, it is a bad day for Loch Hanningfield,

:06:41. > :06:50.and for the council, -- for lot Hanningfield. But it is certainly

:06:50. > :06:59.not endemic. We have the the high standards and in the county council

:06:59. > :07:03.for spending taxpayers' money. Shares in the tour operator Thomas

:07:03. > :07:07.Cook fell 27% after the company warned of a sharp fall in profits.

:07:07. > :07:09.It blames the turmoil in the middle east and an increase in costs. The

:07:09. > :07:19.company employs 2,000 people at their headquarters in Peterborough.

:07:19. > :07:24.Fatima Manji is there now. Yes, I am outside this company that is

:07:24. > :07:28.very important to Peterborough. 2,000 people employed here. The

:07:28. > :07:33.future of this company is important for the future of Peterborough.

:07:33. > :07:38.Profits are down 15%. They expected to make profits of �380 million,

:07:38. > :07:42.and that is likely to be more like �320 million. Thomas Cook did not

:07:42. > :07:46.want to give interviews, but I have been assured that this is not about

:07:46. > :07:54.job cuts. The future of this company is being affected by events

:07:54. > :07:57.many miles away. In just a few days, scenes like this change the face of

:07:57. > :08:02.Middle-Eastern politics, but also affected the porches of business

:08:02. > :08:07.here in the east. Thousands of miles from Tahrir Square, Thomas

:08:07. > :08:13.Cook, based in Peterborough, found itself up with a slump in profits.

:08:13. > :08:16.The company says that political unrest as pig people booking -- put

:08:16. > :08:22.people off booking holidays to traditional destinations like Egypt

:08:22. > :08:29.and Morocco, and that means less profit for Thomas Cook. It's in the

:08:29. > :08:33.last 24 hours, the company share price has fallen by 27.4%. It is

:08:33. > :08:39.significant. This is a very big fall in the share price. It comes

:08:39. > :08:43.on the back of this profits warning. In the long term it remains to be

:08:43. > :08:48.seen what the effect is. This is a very large company with good assets

:08:48. > :08:53.and cash flows. So, in the short term, it is to do with the market

:08:53. > :08:58.responding to events. In at Peterborough city centre, would be

:08:58. > :09:02.holidaymakers said the cost is putting them of. Are Thomas Cook is

:09:02. > :09:07.an expensive shock for a travel agents. But they a good holidays,

:09:07. > :09:12.but a bit more expensive, Thomas Cook. I have not got anything about,

:09:12. > :09:17.and if we decide to go anywhere, it will be a last-minute decision. We

:09:17. > :09:21.will probably stay in this country and goal campaign. The people the

:09:22. > :09:25.use use smaller hotels and a more individual so there might only be

:09:25. > :09:30.three or four people there from England so I quite like that sort

:09:30. > :09:34.of hotel, whereas larger travel agents like Thomas Cook use more

:09:34. > :09:39.popular hotels with a lot of people in them. Thomas Cook says it will

:09:39. > :09:45.be making changes to its business, but it insist that that process

:09:45. > :09:53.will not be about cutting jobs. What will staff -- what have start

:09:53. > :09:59.been saying on the wheel on tonight? -- on their way home

:09:59. > :10:06.tonight? Many are reluctant to speak, but some said they are

:10:06. > :10:11.worried about the prospect of redundancies. I have also been

:10:11. > :10:15.talking to a few financial analysts, and one who works for a company

:10:15. > :10:23.that Thomas Cook deal with, said that this is very simply not a good

:10:23. > :10:31.sign. Still to come : on the putting green ahead of the open,

:10:31. > :10:38.and Mike can't write -- Mike Cartwright is sampling a clanger.

:10:38. > :10:48.Recliner, have made, and have fruit, but which end is which? Find out

:10:48. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :10:56.The power giant National Grid today finally revealed where in Suffolk

:10:56. > :11:00.it wants to build a string of new pylons. It says the work is vital

:11:00. > :11:04.to handle demand, but critics say it will wreck the landscape. We'll

:11:04. > :11:07.talk to one of those campaigners, the TV presenter Griff Rhys Jones

:11:07. > :11:11.in a moment, but first this from Kevin Burch. In simple terms, the

:11:11. > :11:15.problem for a national Grid is a bottleneck on the power network on

:11:15. > :11:18.the its fears of Ipswich. It has spent 18 months consulting on a

:11:19. > :11:26.number of possible routes for a new line. Today it revealed its

:11:26. > :11:31.preference, the cost, �500 million, to create a second link. It would

:11:31. > :11:37.replace an existing law Valdes line, and pan once, the new ones which

:11:37. > :11:41.would be twice the size, potentially 90 of them in total,

:11:41. > :11:45.but the national Grid says that the cables could be buried in the most

:11:45. > :11:51.sensitive places. This is the best recorder which has received the

:11:51. > :11:54.most support from the local community. We will look closely

:11:54. > :11:59.where going underground is appropriate. Quite a lot of their

:11:59. > :12:04.own research isn't finished yet, so how they can stand up and be so

:12:04. > :12:14.different, we do not understand. for her reaction elsewhere, here is

:12:14. > :12:27.

:12:27. > :12:30.at Labour. The Suffolk Preservation National Grid says when it comes to

:12:30. > :12:37.new technology it know what is options are out there. A fresh bout

:12:37. > :12:41.of consultation on its preferred route is now planned. Earlier I

:12:41. > :12:46.spoke to Griff Rhys Jones, who has been an outspoken critic of the

:12:46. > :12:51.plan, and started by asking why he objected to strongly? Already,

:12:51. > :12:55.there is a swathe of pylons across some of the most beautiful country

:12:55. > :12:59.in Britain. What is now being proposed is even more pylons, for

:12:59. > :13:05.that swathe to become a sort of massive motorway of pylon, to

:13:05. > :13:09.double the size of it, and spread it wider, and cover more of the

:13:09. > :13:14.countryside and become something which is, at the moment, you can

:13:14. > :13:20.sort of not spot it, from now on you will be unable to not spot it.

:13:20. > :13:26.I think it's a very complicated thing for us, as a group of people,

:13:26. > :13:29.who are currently the custodians of this country, to will on our

:13:29. > :13:34.ancestors such a terrible, terrible impact and blight on the landscape.

:13:34. > :13:38.So it is OK, is it, for pylons to go somewhere which is relatively

:13:38. > :13:42.unattractive or ugly, but not in a beautiful place? Not at all. I

:13:42. > :13:47.don't believe that at all. I think as a society we have to make a few

:13:47. > :13:50.choices. It is down to us to make them. We get a lot of short-term

:13:50. > :13:56.emergencies which are thrust upon us, which we have to consider. I

:13:56. > :14:02.think as a country, as a nation, we have to really think about what we

:14:02. > :14:06.are handing down, to our ancestors P I suspect if they put up the cost

:14:06. > :14:09.of electricity to pay for this, you could probably afford it, but for a

:14:09. > :14:13.lot of people, any increase would be hard to afford. I genuinely

:14:13. > :14:18.believe, if you went to the people of Great Britain and said are you

:14:18. > :14:23.prepared to take 1.25% on your electricity bill, which may indeed

:14:23. > :14:26.come down even further, if more sensible and intelligent ways were

:14:26. > :14:29.seen, looked into in terms of the pylon, I think possibly we would

:14:29. > :14:39.find that the majority of people would be prepared to stomach that.

:14:39. > :14:42.Thank you very much. A man arrested after an armed stand off in

:14:42. > :14:45.Southend has appeared in court. Steven Stirling has been charged

:14:45. > :14:51.with firearm and public order offences. He will appear in court

:14:51. > :14:55.again at the end of September. The MP for Harlow says many of his

:14:55. > :15:00.constituencies are living in fuel poverty because of the high price

:15:00. > :15:04.of fuel. Robert Halfon today asked the Prime Minister to put pressure

:15:04. > :15:08.on the oil companies to reduce the price of petrol and diesel, now

:15:08. > :15:11.that world oil prices are coming down. The drinks manufacturer

:15:11. > :15:15.Britvic has confirmed it is planning to move head office out of

:15:15. > :15:21.Chelmsford. The firm wants to find premises further round the M25,

:15:21. > :15:25.near the M1 within a year, in order to be within easier reach of other

:15:25. > :15:29.factories. They say they will retain its production facility on

:15:29. > :15:32.Widford Industrial Estate. We know how much student also have to pay

:15:32. > :15:37.in tuition fees for universities in this region. The new figures show

:15:37. > :15:41.that Cambridge Essex and the EUA will charge the full �9,000 for

:15:41. > :15:46.some course, but the average cost per student will come down, when

:15:46. > :15:52.grants and scholarships are taken into account. Today's final figures

:15:52. > :15:56.make for interesting comparisons. Here in the east Cambridge, Essex,

:15:56. > :16:00.the University of East Anglia and Bedfordshire will be charging the

:16:01. > :16:04.maximum �9,000. While Writtle College, University Campus Suffolk

:16:04. > :16:10.and Anglia Ruskin will charge the least, at round �8,000 a year. But

:16:10. > :16:14.factor in the access funding they are providing such as grants and

:16:14. > :16:16.cellar ships and the average fee changes. As you can see the

:16:17. > :16:20.university of Bedfordshire and Norwich University College of the

:16:21. > :16:25.arts will be charging on average more than the University of

:16:25. > :16:29.Cambridge.. We have had to make a appropriate response to that. It

:16:29. > :16:31.may not be the one we wanted to make, so future planning, in terms

:16:31. > :16:36.of funding, but the Government is determines that higher education

:16:36. > :16:40.will be funded in a future but students. The Government has made a

:16:40. > :16:43.big deal about ensuring access to higher education isn't compromised

:16:43. > :16:49.by the increase in tuition fees. But they have yet to convince

:16:49. > :16:52.student leaders. While we welcome the increase expenditure on fair

:16:52. > :16:57.access to higher education, ultimately it is a system which is

:16:57. > :17:02.going to put off students from poorer backgrounds into going into

:17:02. > :17:07.higher education. Trying to work out what you will be paying can be

:17:07. > :17:10.complicated and the advice is choose carefully. An inquiry opened

:17:10. > :17:14.today into controversial plans for a new housing estate in Newmarket.

:17:14. > :17:17.Major figures in British horse racing warn the long-term future of

:17:17. > :17:23.the town will be jeopardised if the land owner Lord Derby is granted

:17:23. > :17:28.permission. Last summer they celebrated when councillors

:17:28. > :17:32.rejected Lord Derby's plans. Today they were back, as his appeal began.

:17:32. > :17:36.This field to the north of Newmarket is where the land owner

:17:36. > :17:41.wants to build 121200 home, a school, offices and business units

:17:41. > :17:46.but top trainer, the council and the Jockey Club argue it could

:17:46. > :17:49.spell disaster for the home of British horse racing. About a 20%

:17:49. > :17:54.increase in the size of Newmarket is going to change it from being

:17:54. > :17:58.rural to urban. That makes moving thousands of horses round every day,

:17:58. > :18:03.which is our business, very difficult. To jeopardise this for a

:18:03. > :18:08.housing project which could be spread among the region, seems to

:18:08. > :18:11.be crass, at best. Today in a brief statement Lord Derby said the

:18:11. > :18:15.application is being judged on its merits, of which he is convinced.

:18:15. > :18:21.So what happens on this plot of land is now out of the hands of

:18:21. > :18:25.local people. It is now up to the planning inspector, and ultimately

:18:25. > :18:35.the Communities Secretary to decide. And the decision may not be known

:18:35. > :18:46.

:18:46. > :18:50.Tributes have been paid today to the bishop of East Anglia who has

:18:50. > :18:54.died after a long battle with cancer. The Right Reverend Michael

:18:54. > :19:01.Evans died in hospital last night. In January, his congregation was

:19:01. > :19:06.told he has prostate cancer, and did not have long to live. The

:19:06. > :19:10.regular 10.00 mass in Norwich. Today, dedicated to a much loved

:19:10. > :19:15.bishop. Man who carried on working after learning five years ago he

:19:15. > :19:25.had an advanced and aggressive strain of prostate cancer. Michael

:19:25. > :19:25.

:19:25. > :19:33.Evans was orb Daneed here eight years ing a. -- ordained here..

:19:33. > :19:43.carry within our hearts the many memories of him. He who was our

:19:43. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:49.pastor, our leader, our teacher, a man who gave both his life and his

:19:49. > :19:52.heart to us, his family. In an interview if April Stuart asked the

:19:53. > :19:57.bishop if he felt why me, about the illness that was killing him?

:19:57. > :20:02.have had those moments but I can't do anything about it. Once you are

:20:02. > :20:06.told you are dying, you can't do anything about it, I have tended to

:20:06. > :20:10.adopt the motto of living with dying, in other words not to give

:20:10. > :20:15.up on it but make it a positive thing, full of hope and trust in so

:20:15. > :20:21.far as I can. But yes, there are those moments when I think why me,

:20:21. > :20:24.why is this happening to me. congregation heard the bishop died

:20:24. > :20:28.peacefully in hospital after being admitted following a stroke last

:20:28. > :20:31.thurst. I had cancer myself and I know what he has been through, so I

:20:32. > :20:35.have the greatest of respect for him. I am very very pleased he is

:20:35. > :20:42.at peace now. Just a few days before he was called by the Lord,

:20:42. > :20:47.he still was serving his people. This, I think is just an incredible

:20:47. > :20:54.example. The first time I saw him his eyes just sparkled with life.

:20:54. > :20:57.It was tremendous, it was his eyes that drew me to him. A man of

:20:57. > :21:07.complete faith. He was wonderful. The bishop's chair stands empty.

:21:07. > :21:11.The Cathedral will be packed for his funeral mass next Wednesday.

:21:11. > :21:16.Now last week theise of the sporting world were on civil ston

:21:16. > :21:19.for the Grand Prix but this week it is for a very different reason, for

:21:19. > :21:23.golf. Gary Boyd someone of three golfers from the region who are

:21:23. > :21:29.hoping to make their mark at the Open, which starts on Thursday at

:21:29. > :21:32.Royal St George. We went to meet him. Far from the noise of roaring

:21:32. > :21:35.engines the only sound you here out here is Gary Boyd preparing for one

:21:35. > :21:39.of the biggest challenges of his golfing career. He has played in

:21:39. > :21:43.the Open once before, but the occasion got the better of him.

:21:43. > :21:46.When they call your name on the first tee, it is very nerve-

:21:46. > :21:50.wracking, you are playing against the best in the world. It is more a

:21:50. > :21:54.mental challenge than a fiscal one. It is physical as well and there is

:21:54. > :21:58.a lot of skill and luck you need, especially as British Open where

:21:58. > :22:02.the conditions and the golf course will play a lot into it. Hely

:22:02. > :22:08.trying to keep out of trouble at Royal St George. He knows the

:22:08. > :22:14.course well, play there as an amateur. At the Italian Open he

:22:14. > :22:18.came close. His good friend Ian Poulter has 11 tour victories..

:22:18. > :22:23.Inspired by Rory McIlroy, who proved you can come back from

:22:23. > :22:27.disappointment. He was close last year, he has learned from losing. I

:22:27. > :22:31.think when he lost at the masters this years it put him in good stead

:22:31. > :22:36.at the Open. To come out of that tournament to win, was incredible

:22:36. > :22:40.and to win by the amount he did, you don't hear that in majors.

:22:40. > :22:45.While Poulter starts with a realistic chance of winning. For

:22:45. > :22:53.Boyd and Simon Lily it is about sinking the puts and sees where it

:22:53. > :22:58.takes them. -- putts. It would be great if he did well. Cornwall has

:22:58. > :23:02.its pasty. Eccles its cakes, but did you know Bedfordshire has its

:23:02. > :23:07.own local delicacy. The clanger. They reckon the clanger has been

:23:07. > :23:11.eat none the fields by farm workers for hundreds of years. It is half

:23:11. > :23:18.meat, half fruit. For made in the east Mike Cartwright has gone a

:23:18. > :23:22.bakery where clangers are still making a tasty profit. Here, like

:23:22. > :23:30.everywhere, decision -- decision, decision, shall I buy this or that?

:23:30. > :23:37.Do I need this? No. Today, tea or coffee but with if you are happy

:23:37. > :23:42.with sweetor savoury they can offer both. This is the clanger. I have

:23:42. > :23:46.put apple in that part as the sweet end and the other part we put

:23:47. > :23:51.gammon, potato and onion with a nice gravy. One end is sweet, the

:23:51. > :23:56.other savoury. They have been making them at this family bakery

:23:56. > :24:00.for ever. David Gun is proud of the county's clanger history. Famous

:24:00. > :24:03.for a food in the fields, the agricultural people working in the

:24:04. > :24:07.fields in Bedfordshire over the year, and you know. It is up

:24:07. > :24:11.supposed to be a meal in one so they have everything all together.

:24:11. > :24:16.But what do they say on the streets? What do you think of

:24:16. > :24:21.savoury and fruit in the same thing? A bit oth odd? Yes, very odd.

:24:21. > :24:26.But tasty. Definitely, yes. It is traditional here in Bedfordshire,

:24:27. > :24:35.did you know that? No. You have never heard of a clanger? Which end

:24:35. > :24:41.would you go for.. Savoury. Always? Much nicer. The sweet end is always

:24:41. > :24:46.marked, but why clanger? Well, I wonder. Everything has a story. I

:24:46. > :24:50.suppose maybe they were started by an accident, having the savoury and

:24:50. > :24:54.sweet. Perhaps that is where clanger came in. Round here they

:24:54. > :25:02.say Cornwall can keep the pasty, ebgs their cakes this is the county

:25:02. > :25:08.of the clanger. And with that lady, savoury side for me. I think you

:25:08. > :25:10.start with the first course, and eat your way through to pudding.

:25:10. > :25:14.eat your way through to pudding. Delicious! I would eat both.

:25:14. > :25:18.Weatherwise across the region, it has been cloudy today. We have had

:25:18. > :25:22.a bit of rain skirting up the east coast. You can see an area of low

:25:22. > :25:26.pressure in France, and that has eased its way northward through the

:25:26. > :25:30.day. Brought us a lot of cloud. You can see that cloud, it has been

:25:30. > :25:36.with us for most of the day. A bit of brightness getting through it

:25:36. > :25:40.but a cloudy day in the region. The rain on the radar spreading north

:25:40. > :25:44.warbgsdz into Kent and Essex. We could see a few spots of rain

:25:44. > :25:47.continuing through the first part of tonight, particularly on the

:25:47. > :25:52.Suffolk coast. So overnight cloudy. It will be mainly dry. You will see

:25:52. > :25:57.the chart here showing any patchy rain clearing out generally through

:25:57. > :26:01.the night. Otherwise mainly dry with clear spells and patchy cloud.

:26:01. > :26:06.Temperatures falling away to 11 C in the west of the region. 12 or 13

:26:06. > :26:09.for most of us, but we do have that moderate to fresh unfortunately

:26:09. > :26:14.wind and that will keep it milder, along the coast. We are looking at

:26:14. > :26:18.13 or 14 for the low. We will feel mild in spots, but with that wind

:26:18. > :26:22.putting a chill into the air. For tomorrow, mostly cloudy again

:26:22. > :26:25.tomorrow. It will be a breezy day tomorrow. We will continue to see

:26:25. > :26:28.that northerly wind through the course of the day. A lot of cloud

:26:28. > :26:31.round again. We could see an isolated light shower across

:26:31. > :26:37.northern and eastern parts of the region, but for many of us I think

:26:37. > :26:41.it will be a dry day, with just a few bright intervals at times.

:26:41. > :26:46.Temperatures at their highest tomorrow 20. But go further north

:26:46. > :26:49.with that moderate to fresh wind we are looking at 17 or 18 across

:26:49. > :26:53.northern parts of the area. Then into the evening, any showers we

:26:53. > :26:57.did have round should fade away, it will become dry into Wednesday

:26:57. > :27:01.night. Then I am going o show you the pressure pattern towards the

:27:01. > :27:05.end of the week. We have a couple of decent days for Thursday and

:27:05. > :27:08.into Friday. You can see the high pressure hanging on. You will no

:27:08. > :27:12.this this pushing into western Britain. By the time we get to

:27:12. > :27:16.Friday night and Saturday, that will spread rain in the region.

:27:16. > :27:21.That could be heavy at times at well. So to sum that up, Thursday,

:27:21. > :27:25.Friday mainly dry, sunny spells and the temperatures easing up to 21 or

:27:25. > :27:30.22. Maybe a 23 on Friday. Heavy rain Friday night into Saturday.
