Tonight in a special Look East, we're live overlooking the Olympic

:00:06.:00:11.

Park in Stratford. It's one year to go to London 2012, but how is our

:00:11.:00:21.
:00:21.:00:27.

region shaping up ahead of the Games?

:00:27.:00:30.

As eight new routes to Europe are announced for Southend Airport, we

:00:30.:00:32.

meet the people cashing in on the big event. We'll be talking to

:00:32.:00:35.

Jonathan Edwards - once the triple jump king - now a key player in

:00:35.:00:38.

promoting London 2012. And we catch up with William Sharman, one of the

:00:38.:00:40.

region's top athletes, as he steps up his training. And in other news:

:00:40.:00:43.

A man misses death by inches when his mobility scooter is hit by a

:00:43.:00:53.
:00:53.:00:56.

train. With a year to go, what was once

:00:56.:01:01.

Europe's biggest building site is well on the way to completion.

:01:01.:01:05.

We're told the Olympic Park is on target and within budget. And

:01:05.:01:08.

tomorrow, we get our first glimpse inside the Aquatic Centre. For our

:01:08.:01:10.

region, the Olympics is bringing a once-in-a-lifetime influx of

:01:10.:01:16.

visitors and business. �800 million worth of contracts have already

:01:16.:01:20.

been awarded to companies in the East. This time next year, tens of

:01:20.:01:22.

thousands of visitors will be flying into Stansted, Luton and now

:01:22.:01:28.

Southend. So how is our region going to capitalise on all this and

:01:28.:01:31.

get its share of Olympic gold? Our Chief Reporter, Kim Riley, has been

:01:31.:01:35.

finding out. A new routes parade at London

:01:35.:01:39.

Southend Airport, with a distinctive Olympics flavour. Gold

:01:39.:01:43.

medalist, Sally Gunnell, leading a team of budding local athletes.

:01:43.:01:45.

Today, Easyjet put tickets for eight new routes - incuding

:01:45.:01:50.

Barcelona where Sally won gold - up for sale. The airport is undergoing

:01:50.:01:59.

a multi-million pound revamp. London 2012 will be a driving force.

:01:59.:02:05.

Reader believe it will be a platform that will help us in the

:02:05.:02:11.

future. Our aim is to get to 2 million passengers and one day.

:02:11.:02:14.

There is a local campaign to stop the expansion of the airport, but

:02:14.:02:19.

Easyjet is confident its routes will take off as planned next April.

:02:19.:02:21.

And there is Olympic gold for Stansted too. It'll be the gateway

:02:22.:02:29.

to the games for tens of thousands. We have a lot of spare capacity so

:02:29.:02:35.

we can definitely take the larger aircraft, and General Aviation as

:02:35.:02:40.

well. From making seats for the Olympic stadium, to providing no

:02:40.:02:43.

end of 2012 souvenirs, the region's companies have snapped up Olympics

:02:43.:02:46.

contracts. Though a survey today by Lloyds Banking Group found almost

:02:46.:02:48.

two thirds of the region's businesses believe they have

:02:48.:02:53.

nothing to gain. The house you live in could be a nice little earner

:02:53.:02:56.

during the Olympics. Michelle Tyler, here with 18-month-old daughter,

:02:56.:03:02.

Lucia, came to Britain as a backpacker 15 years ago and stayed.

:03:02.:03:03.

The family's four bedroomed Hertfordshire semi, with good links

:03:03.:03:06.

to the Olympic park and Lee Valley, has been registered with website

:03:06.:03:12.

accomodation for the Games. She's asking �3,000 for a week's rental

:03:12.:03:22.
:03:22.:03:24.

and plans a family holiday back to Staying in someone's home is more

:03:24.:03:29.

comfortable. You do not need to bring anything extra. Rex Batey set

:03:29.:03:35.

up the website last October. 500 homeowers have registered so far.

:03:35.:03:43.

We advise people to be sensible with their pricing. What you might

:03:43.:03:48.

expect to rent your property for on a year in the for monthly basis,

:03:48.:03:58.
:03:58.:04:01.

you are likely to get that for a week during the Olympics.

:04:01.:04:05.

I am a Roman soldier from Colchester. Back at Stansted, he's

:04:05.:04:08.

promoting Britain's oldest town. The hope is that visitors to the

:04:08.:04:10.

Games next year will realise there's plenty to enjoy in our

:04:10.:04:13.

region, and vow to return. They're calling it the Olympics tourism

:04:13.:04:23.
:04:23.:04:25.

legacy. For the region's huge tourism industry, pure gold.

:04:25.:04:35.
:04:35.:04:36.

You can see the main stadium behind me, not quite finished yet. 80,000

:04:36.:04:41.

seats in that stadium. I wonder how many of you have got tickets to

:04:41.:04:45.

actually sit in those seats. We will talk about that in a minute.

:04:45.:04:48.

Not everyone is feeling positive about London 2012. In fact, in a

:04:48.:04:51.

poll out this week, more than one in three people say they're not

:04:51.:04:53.

excited about the Games. One of the biggest criticisms is tickets and

:04:53.:04:56.

the way they've been allocated. Here's a quick word from some of

:04:56.:05:03.

you. I am quite excited but disappointed I was not able to get

:05:04.:05:10.

a ticket. I just decided I was not going to because I was not sure

:05:10.:05:16.

about the method of distribution. We missed out on the timing of the

:05:16.:05:22.

tickets but now I wish we had. Because my friends are getting

:05:22.:05:30.

tickets. I do have some tickets, thankfully. I will be wearing my

:05:30.:05:38.

Taoiseach proudly. I just prefer to watch it on the television. And I

:05:38.:05:45.

did not like the idea of applying and getting some strange sport when

:05:45.:05:51.

I wanted to watch something else. would have liked more, everyone is

:05:51.:05:55.

disappointed. Joining us now is Jonathan Edwards, former Olympic

:05:55.:05:57.

and World triple jump champion, now working for London 2012 promoting

:05:57.:06:05.

the games. Let's just start off with the ticket situation, how

:06:05.:06:12.

damaging has it been? The simple truth was there was many more

:06:12.:06:17.

people wanted tickets than we had tickets to sell. Looking at the way

:06:17.:06:23.

they have been issued, there's no group of people who have cornered

:06:23.:06:27.

the ticketing market. It is just that there was such a great

:06:27.:06:31.

interest that there was only so much to go around. But in the

:06:31.:06:36.

second phase of ticket sales, those who did not get a ticket originally

:06:36.:06:45.

will be get him the pick of what is left. 1.3 million tickets across

:06:45.:06:51.

all the events. And we will go to those people who did not get

:06:51.:06:57.

tickets first of all. And get as many of those into the hands of

:06:57.:07:02.

people who first applied and did not get anything. People who do not

:07:02.:07:06.

get anything, it will they still be able to get into the Olympic Park

:07:06.:07:12.

to sample the atmosphere? We were looking at axis to the Olympic Park.

:07:12.:07:17.

I think on some days there are free events and people can come along

:07:17.:07:23.

and see the marathon and the Road Cycling. And then in September we

:07:23.:07:30.

have Paralympics tickets to go on sale. Again there will be millions

:07:30.:07:35.

of tickets available to watch the Paralympics. What about the issue

:07:35.:07:39.

of competitors's families. There has been some upset that there are

:07:39.:07:43.

only getting two tickets, especially on home turf. Again

:07:43.:07:52.

there has been some confusion here. We will allocate two tickets per

:07:52.:07:59.

athlete for every session that they compete in. They are also tickets

:07:59.:08:04.

available through the National Olympic teams. So there is actually

:08:04.:08:08.

more allocation for friends and family then there has ever been.

:08:08.:08:12.

the press today there is talk about the transport issues. People

:08:12.:08:16.

commuting from our region into London already know that it can get

:08:16.:08:21.

congested. People are now being told perhaps not to go to work

:08:21.:08:24.

during the Olympics, is that an admission that there will be some

:08:24.:08:30.

serious transport problems? It is a major city and in where you go in

:08:30.:08:34.

the world with the Olympic Games, it is going to be a challenge. But

:08:34.:08:38.

we have an incredibly good transport infrastructure within

:08:38.:08:42.

London. Hundreds of millions of pounds have been invested because

:08:42.:08:47.

of London 2012. They are 12 train lines serving the Olympic Park

:08:47.:08:51.

whereas in Sydney there was just one. So I think we are well served.

:08:51.:08:57.

And also we are trying to educate people for the time of the game's

:08:57.:09:04.

saying, do not make non-essential journeys, do your bit. Allow London

:09:04.:09:08.

to move freely. This is a massive team effort and we ask everyone to

:09:08.:09:12.

play their part in making it a success. Still to come on tonight's

:09:12.:09:15.

programme: We're talking to Mark Foster, star of the pool and a

:09:15.:09:18.

veteran of five Olympic games. Plus we catch up with one of our "Ones

:09:19.:09:27.

to Watch". My name is William Sharman. We are

:09:27.:09:31.

a year away from the Olympics but there's much for athletes like me

:09:31.:09:40.

to be doing. Find out more after it news from your region.

:09:40.:09:42.

A disability charity wants safety regulations for mobility scooters

:09:42.:09:45.

to be tightened up after a man came within inches of being hit by a

:09:45.:09:49.

train travelling at 100 miles an hour. The accident happened on a

:09:49.:09:59.

level crossing at Kelvedon in Essex. The mobility scooter mangled but

:09:59.:10:03.

emergency services say it is incredible there's anything left at

:10:03.:10:07.

all. This is how fast trains go through the crossing where it was

:10:07.:10:13.

hit. Police still cannot believe that the man riding the scooter

:10:13.:10:19.

survived. He is lucky to be alive, before I arrived, I expected the

:10:19.:10:25.

worst. He was lying just there and the Skoda was over here with the

:10:25.:10:31.

front taken off it. The man was conches and breeding and we found

:10:31.:10:35.

out that the front of the Skoda had been hit by the train. The near-

:10:35.:10:40.

miss has triggered fresh calls for stricter mobility scooter safety.

:10:40.:10:46.

Disability Essex run courses but even here, but scoters can prove

:10:46.:10:52.

difficult to handle. We believe there should be proper training for

:10:52.:10:56.

mobility scooter users so they can demonstrate their proficiency and

:10:56.:11:02.

in order to achieve that, we need and that work of competent, trained

:11:02.:11:07.

instructors. The incident here was the second involving a mobility

:11:07.:11:10.

scooter in the last two weeks. Another was involved in a road

:11:10.:11:16.

collision. British Transport Police said that the man who was so lucky

:11:16.:11:20.

to escape from his life in this crossing may now be prosecuted for

:11:20.:11:24.

trespassing on the railways. A man has appeared in court accused

:11:24.:11:27.

of murdering a woman in Southend. Jeanette Goodwin was found with

:11:27.:11:29.

stab wounds at a house in Quebec Avenue. She died later in hospital.

:11:29.:11:32.

43-year-old Martin Bunch has been charged with murder. An interim

:11:32.:11:35.

Chief Executive has been appointed at Suffolk County Council. Lucy

:11:35.:11:38.

Robinson will do the job for six months, on a salary of �150,000 a

:11:38.:11:42.

year. Her appointment follows the departure of Andrea Hill, who was

:11:42.:11:49.

widely criticised for her salary of �218,000.

:11:50.:11:52.

A new scheme encouraging victims of hate crime to talk about their

:11:52.:11:56.

experience is being launched in Suffolk today. The group of

:11:56.:11:58.

volunteers, many of them victims themselves, will listen and advise

:11:58.:12:03.

those who come forward. Community groups say many hate

:12:03.:12:07.

crimes go unreported out of fear or ignorance of where to report them.

:12:07.:12:11.

Hate crime can take many forms. It can be because of someone's faith,

:12:11.:12:19.

sexuality, gender or as in Kumar's case, race. I have had bad

:12:19.:12:25.

experiences were people have shouted at me saying, go home. Also

:12:25.:12:29.

people throwing things at me. even received death threats, all of

:12:29.:12:34.

which have had a terrible impact on both him and his family. It makes

:12:34.:12:40.

me feel really sad and makes me think, I am a British citizen but

:12:40.:12:44.

society does not accept me. Kumar has now begun to get his life back

:12:44.:12:47.

on track, helped in part by a new scheme being launched in Ipswich

:12:47.:12:50.

today. The buddy training scheme is a pilot. It pairs victims of hate

:12:50.:12:59.

crime with members of the community trained to listen and advise.

:12:59.:13:03.

a shoulder to cry on but it is also ongoing support and we think it

:13:03.:13:08.

will grope long-term and also make sure that the criminal justice

:13:09.:13:12.

agencies have particular responsibilities around hate crime

:13:12.:13:19.

and will make sure that victims get there just as they deserve. -- the

:13:19.:13:23.

justice they deserve. Official police figures have shown a fall in

:13:23.:13:25.

reported hate crime. But some community groups here believe many

:13:25.:13:27.

victims chose to ignore or suppress what's happened to them. It's hoped

:13:27.:13:30.

the buddy scheme will help them come forward.

:13:30.:13:33.

The Armed Forces minister paid a visit to RAF Honington in Suffolk

:13:33.:13:41.

today. Nick Harvey met troops who'd recently served in Afghanistan. The

:13:41.:13:45.

Minister for armed forces getting a close look at the fire support for

:13:45.:13:53.

a cop. -- fire support recall. The job for the Royal Air Force is to

:13:53.:13:57.

provide what is called for his protection. For five years they

:13:57.:14:07.

made sure that Kandahar airfield in Afghanistan was secured. Air bases

:14:07.:14:12.

are big, Studdick targets. A lot of our effort is involved in

:14:12.:14:17.

mitigating that particular threat. The armed forces minister was full

:14:17.:14:23.

of praise for 15 Squadron. It is vital to our maintaining air power

:14:23.:14:27.

over Afghanistan that the movements can operate as safely as we can

:14:27.:14:33.

make them. This has been a rather unsung role on the part of what

:14:33.:14:36.

really art heroes of the entire effort. The hardware might be

:14:36.:14:42.

impressive but the most important thing in the armoury - as support

:14:43.:14:47.

of comrades. It is like brothers, but there's nothing else like it.

:14:47.:14:53.

You are altogether. Looking forward to going back prison at definitely,

:14:53.:14:59.

can't wait. The Essex cricket festival starts

:14:59.:15:01.

tomorrow with a county championship match against Leicestershire.

:15:01.:15:03.

During the festival, Essex will play in Colchester and this week,

:15:03.:15:06.

at Garon Park in Southend. The ground is next door to the new

:15:06.:15:08.

swimming and diving centre which will be a training venue for the

:15:08.:15:17.

Olympic Games. We're coming into the school holiday period. For a

:15:17.:15:21.

family day out, it is a good day. It is reasonably cheap for the

:15:21.:15:26.

whole family to come along and watch the cricket.

:15:26.:15:29.

In football, Ipswich Town have made two signings from the Premiership.

:15:29.:15:32.

Goalkeeper David Stockdale is on loan from Fulham. And midfielder

:15:32.:15:35.

Jay Emmanuel Thomas has signed for three years from Arsenal. They

:15:35.:15:39.

could both play tonight in a pre- season friendly at Colchester.

:15:39.:15:41.

Also at Ipswich, their award winning groundsman is leaving to

:15:41.:15:46.

become head groundsman at the National Football Centre in Burton.

:15:46.:15:49.

Alan Ferguson has been at Portman Road for 12 years and says he's sad

:15:49.:15:59.
:15:59.:16:01.

to be leaving. He admits the new role will be an enormous challenge.

:16:01.:16:04.

There will be more news from Look East at 10:30, but for now, it's

:16:04.:16:11.

back to Susie at the Olympic Park in Stratford.

:16:11.:16:15.

Welcome back to the Olympic Park. Tomorrow officially marks one year

:16:15.:16:19.

to go to the opening ceremony of London 2012. But for athletes and

:16:19.:16:24.

organisers, the countdown has been going on for six years. In a moment,

:16:24.:16:26.

we'll be talking to Mark Foster, Cambridgeshire's former world

:16:26.:16:29.

champion swimmer, who's been to five Olympic games. First, our

:16:29.:16:31.

Olympics reporter, Shaun Peel, on how our region is rising to the

:16:32.:16:35.

challenge. The region's footprint is all over

:16:35.:16:39.

the Olympic Park. The gardens were designed by a woman from Colchester,

:16:39.:16:41.

the water plants were grown in Norfolk and the seats in the

:16:41.:16:49.

stadiums were made in Luton. 12 countries have already decided

:16:49.:16:51.

to base themselves at our training camps, including the Canadian and

:16:51.:16:54.

Australian gymnasts, who'll be based in Lowestoft. Every county so

:16:55.:17:00.

far, bar Norfolk, will be hosting foreign teams.

:17:00.:17:05.

We've got two Olympic venues in our region. Both are ready and this

:17:05.:17:07.

weekend the mountain biking course at Hadleigh in Essex and the White

:17:07.:17:09.

water course in Hertfordshire will be staging international Olympic

:17:09.:17:16.

test events. The region has also done well out of the torch relay.

:17:16.:17:18.

It'll pass through for seven consecutive days, with overnight

:17:18.:17:19.

stops and big celebrations in Petebororough, Norwich, Ipswich,

:17:19.:17:24.

Chelmsford, Cambridge and Luton. The full route should be known in

:17:24.:17:33.

November. We're also playing a big part in

:17:33.:17:35.

the Olympic volunteer programme. 35,000 people from the East have

:17:35.:17:38.

applied to be involved and they'll find out if they've made it in

:17:38.:17:42.

October. Our schools are also getting on

:17:42.:17:46.

board in a big way. Nearly 3,000 have registered to take part in the

:17:46.:17:49.

offical London 2012 education programme. The largest number in

:17:49.:17:54.

the UK outside of London. We're also playing our part in the

:17:54.:17:58.

cultural side of the olympics. More than 200 events were held in the

:17:58.:18:03.

region last weekend to celebrate one year to go. And events like the

:18:03.:18:05.

Luton carnival and the fireworks spectacular in Chelmsford have been

:18:05.:18:13.

included in the London 2012 festival.

:18:13.:18:16.

One man who's lived and breathed the Olympics for many years is Mark

:18:16.:18:21.

Foster. You're amongst the most successful British swimmers of all

:18:21.:18:31.
:18:31.:18:35.

time. I am actually swimming in the pool tomorrow evening, marking one

:18:35.:18:45.
:18:45.:18:46.

year to go. That that is an end to my comeback! I you disappointed not

:18:46.:18:51.

to take part on home turf? I think any athlete would love to race in

:18:51.:18:59.

London. Walking into that stadium. I have not yet seen the swimming

:18:59.:19:05.

pool but I have seen pictures and it looks amazing. The ones that

:19:05.:19:10.

meant the most to me in my career were the ones on home turf. What

:19:10.:19:14.

would you be looking for from the a aquatics centre if you wear a

:19:14.:19:19.

competitor? If you walk into a competitive environment you're

:19:19.:19:24.

looking for something that excites you. It gives you the kind of well

:19:24.:19:31.

factor. Walking into that environment, it is just exciting.

:19:31.:19:37.

World championships, a Olympic Games, it is 15,000 people and an

:19:37.:19:43.

opportunity to race in front of the big crowd. Being once every four

:19:43.:19:47.

years just makes it mean that much more. In Beijing you let out the

:19:47.:19:51.

British team. There has been some controversy over whether the

:19:51.:19:54.

athletes this year will be allowed to take part in the opening

:19:54.:19:59.

ceremony. What you think will happen? I think it is down to the

:19:59.:20:09.

athletes themselves. It is not an environment like it was in Beijing,

:20:09.:20:13.

it will be a lot cooler at night. You do not actually walk a lot,

:20:13.:20:20.

there's a lot of sitting around. So some athletes will not really want

:20:20.:20:28.

to do it. I carried the flag at the last Olympic Games and I like to

:20:28.:20:32.

think that it allowed the others to win medals because they were able

:20:32.:20:37.

to relax in their rooms. Let's take a look at some of the

:20:37.:20:39.

hot favourites from our region hoping to bring home medals next

:20:39.:20:41.

year. All this week we are showcasing our "Ones to Watch".

:20:41.:20:43.

Yesterday it was Nic Asher, the Lowestoft sailor battling against a

:20:43.:20:45.

serious medical condition to fulfill his Olympic dream on the

:20:45.:20:49.

water. Tomorrow it's Paralympic sprinter, Jonnie Peacock, from

:20:49.:20:54.

Cambridge. Later in the week we'll see our young tri-athlete from

:20:54.:20:57.

Northamptonshire, Hollie Avil. And on Friday, eventer Sharon Hunt from

:20:57.:21:07.
:21:07.:21:09.

Suffolk. Tonight though, it's the turn of William Sharman.

:21:09.:21:14.

London 2012 maybe a year away but at the training base in (must feel

:21:14.:21:24.
:21:24.:21:26.

like a lifetime. Corby's Will Sharman is not short of confidence.

:21:26.:21:34.

But he has been plagued by injury. You are injured, you have a time

:21:34.:21:38.

constraint, they are not going to move a race back because you're

:21:38.:21:45.

injured. Life goes on. At his first race in June he finished last,

:21:45.:21:50.

lacking race sharpness and being cruelly left behind. It is kind of

:21:50.:21:54.

good that I was so far behind because that motivated me a lot.

:21:55.:21:59.

How many times have you been at the back of a race like that? Very

:21:59.:22:05.

seldom can smack exactly, very few times. For me it was a bit

:22:05.:22:09.

embarrassing. But these things happen, it is part of being an

:22:09.:22:14.

athlete. I suppose it is how you take your losses that counts.

:22:14.:22:21.

one thing he is not short of his self-belief. He finished 4th in the

:22:21.:22:25.

world championships in 2009. Will is one of six athletes who have

:22:25.:22:28.

been signed up by BP ahead of the Olympics. His profile has increased.

:22:28.:22:35.

Now he needs the results. Do you dare think about London 2012 yet?

:22:35.:22:41.

do, but it is not my immediate focus. I'm thinking more about the

:22:41.:22:45.

process, the processes which will lead me to London, rather than the

:22:45.:22:50.

outcome. Thursday has to focus on the here and now. The UK trials

:22:50.:23:00.
:23:00.:23:01.

this weekend, the qualifiers for the World Championships in August.

:23:02.:23:09.

Well Jonathan Edwards and Mark Foster R Witney. -- are wig me.

:23:09.:23:15.

What are you most looking forward to in a year's time? I'm tempted to

:23:15.:23:20.

see the closing ceremony of the Paralympics so I can put my feet up

:23:20.:23:26.

and have a rest! I think this year's qualifying -- this year's

:23:26.:23:34.

critical. We have a lot of Test events. I am looking forward to

:23:34.:23:39.

seeing what British athletes can do in their home environment. And long

:23:39.:23:43.

term seeing what impact it will have on young people around the

:23:43.:23:50.

country. Trying to get more people involved and participating in sport.

:23:50.:23:52.

Well we heard earlier in the programme that some people are not

:23:52.:23:57.

quite sure, is that what you expect at this stage, a lot of negative

:23:57.:24:02.

press about transport and staff. Do you expect the enthusiasm to grow

:24:02.:24:08.

in the next year? I do and I think we are in good places in terms of

:24:08.:24:18.
:24:18.:24:20.

the public perception. We do not have any budget or time issues. As

:24:21.:24:24.

people find out more about volunteering, I think the

:24:24.:24:29.

excitement will grow. The momentum will grow and when you get to the

:24:29.:24:33.

opening ceremony itself I think the country will be overtaken by

:24:33.:24:37.

national pride and Olympic fervour. There's nothing quite like an

:24:37.:24:43.

Olympic Games. Thank you both for joining Bass. Now our weather

:24:43.:24:47.

joining Bass. Now our weather report.

:24:47.:24:54.

It has been another day of very cloudy conditions. It looks like

:24:54.:24:58.

we'll be stuck under that cloud all through tomorrow as well. The

:24:58.:25:03.

reason for that is the low pressure. You see that marked on the chart.

:25:03.:25:08.

Also some heavy showers developing over Holland which could end up on

:25:08.:25:15.

the Essex and Suffolk coastline through tomorrow. But this evening

:25:15.:25:24.

is mainly dry, just the odd spot of rain in parts of Norfolk. Most

:25:24.:25:33.

places staying cloudy at possibly the odd missed patched forming. The

:25:33.:25:41.

wind is mainly light, North to north-westerly. And for tomorrow we

:25:41.:25:50.

have another cloudy day. Turning a little brighter in the West. And

:25:50.:25:58.

that cloud could produce the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. But

:25:58.:26:02.

here is some brightness further west and that is where we have the

:26:02.:26:10.

best of the temperatures through tomorrow. Further east,

:26:10.:26:20.
:26:20.:26:21.

temperatures at around 17 degrees. And the wind, mainly light. Through

:26:21.:26:27.

the afternoon, still a lot of cloud around. But it does break in parts,

:26:27.:26:31.

the West getting the best of any brightness towards the end of the

:26:31.:26:37.

day. For the rest of the week, going back to the pressure John

:26:37.:26:42.

White, a high pressure is starting to build which promises some fine

:26:42.:26:47.

are conditions. But you will notice this front, that is where it is on

:26:47.:26:51.

Thursday. So there's day itself looks like a fine day but by the

:26:51.:26:56.

time it reaches as it could bring some showers for Friday. So here is

:26:56.:27:04.

the line-up for the next five days. Although we start off fine on

:27:04.:27:10.

Friday, we could get some showers later on in the day. But to cloudy

:27:10.:27:15.

conditions once more to start the weekend. We should hope police seek

:27:15.:27:19.

some more sunshine by Sunday and temperatures climbing up to 23

:27:19.:27:24.

temperatures climbing up to 23 degrees Celsius.

:27:24.:27:28.

That's it from the Olympic Park. Tomorrow we'll have a special

:27:28.:27:32.

report from inside the new Aquatics centre. And on Friday we're live

:27:32.:27:35.
