:00:36. > :00:42.note from a mother who killed herself and her two young sons. The

:00:42. > :00:52.bulldozers move in at Bradwell as demolition begins. An unwelcome

:00:52. > :01:00.

:01:00. > :01:05.A BBC investigation has discovered that a paedophile who worked as a

:01:05. > :01:11.head teacher in Suffolk went on to abuse children in India. Derek

:01:11. > :01:15.Slade is behind bars serving a 21 year sentence. He was jailed to

:01:15. > :01:21.last summer for abusing children at St George's boarding school in

:01:21. > :01:27.Suffolk in the 1970s and 1980s. He was investigated by the BBC, but it

:01:27. > :01:35.took decades for the police to catch up with him and bring him to

:01:35. > :01:42.justice. In the intervening years, the abused children abroad. This

:01:42. > :01:50.report is from Roger Cook. When Derek Slade was convicted of child

:01:50. > :01:56.abuse, his victims were grown men. He abuse children at St George's

:01:56. > :02:00.boarding-school in Stowmarket. Peak physically and sexually assaulted

:02:00. > :02:09.pupils as young as eight. They are still living with the legacy of

:02:09. > :02:13.that abuse. I tried to commit suicide within six months. I had

:02:13. > :02:20.several failed relationships. I have tried time and time again.

:02:20. > :02:26.Back in 1982, the BBC Radio 4 Checkpoint programme exposed his

:02:26. > :02:32.reign of terror in Suffolk with the help of pupils and staff. Some

:02:32. > :02:38.people were forced to change clothes. The whole of his backside

:02:38. > :02:45.was covered in bruises. Even though the sexual abuse remained secret,

:02:45. > :02:53.the abuse made national headlines and he resigned in 1983. And later

:02:53. > :03:02.conviction for physical assault in 1983 made it work and my children

:03:02. > :03:07.difficult for him. He later on he launched a campaign and exploited

:03:08. > :03:13.his position in schools abroad, including this one, funded by a

:03:13. > :03:21.Leicestershire charity. We track down some of his victims. How many

:03:21. > :03:27.of you were beaten? All of you? TRANSLATION: He used to beat us

:03:27. > :03:32.every Sunday, and then he took pictures and offered us chocolate.

:03:32. > :03:39.He would then say nothing happened. The school cost �85,000 to build

:03:39. > :03:48.and run. Much of it was paid for by and charity in Leicester. Another

:03:48. > :03:52.charity also gave him funds. A trustee was convinced by his work

:03:53. > :03:58.across the world. They did not check his credentials. In all of

:03:58. > :04:04.our lives, we made -- we make mistakes, and this was a very grave

:04:04. > :04:11.mistake. If it passed by again, I would never do it again. How was he

:04:11. > :04:17.finally caught and convicted? Eight full story in a special programme

:04:17. > :04:21.tonight. As you heard, watching could -- Roger Cook has never given

:04:21. > :04:28.up on this story. He has been speaking about the Radio 4

:04:28. > :04:31.programme Checkpoint, which carried out an investigation in 1982.

:04:31. > :04:38.but how difficult it was to convince people to talk batted back

:04:38. > :04:48.then. It was taboo. We were convinced more was going on. It was

:04:48. > :04:50.

:04:50. > :04:55.an authority whitewash as he... I have such -- stuck to this story.

:04:55. > :05:01.Justice was not done then, and it is still not complete now. What

:05:01. > :05:06.remains in my memory is just how far a paid far would go to get

:05:06. > :05:13.access to children. For these victims, it is not over. Many of

:05:13. > :05:20.them are suing the company he works for. The police are investigating.

:05:20. > :05:24.Earlier, I spoke to Rosie Carter from the Suffolk charity SafeChild.

:05:24. > :05:28.I started by asking her how worried she was about cases like this when

:05:28. > :05:34.abusers slipped through the net and continued to work with young people.

:05:34. > :05:39.This is an incredibly shocking case, and it is not an isolated incident.

:05:39. > :05:47.Many people want to defend with children and young people who get -

:05:47. > :05:57.- gravitate towards the community. They will come to voluntary and

:05:57. > :06:00.

:06:00. > :06:04.community sector. We know that I know this is what your charity

:06:04. > :06:09.does to try and stop this sort of thing happening. What did charities

:06:10. > :06:13.do it to protect themselves? People often feel shy about it, but the

:06:13. > :06:18.first step is to have a clear policy and procedures to deal with

:06:18. > :06:27.any concerns and allegations within your group. The second key thing is

:06:27. > :06:30.recruitment. If it had been carried out properly, so any references,

:06:30. > :06:34.and an interview to checkout the attitude of the individual, it

:06:34. > :06:42.would have been a great help, and we encourage people to risk a

:06:42. > :06:47.assess and make sure that everybody is working properly. It took the

:06:47. > :06:53.long -- today long time for the law to catch up the best man. Do think

:06:53. > :07:00.that they are more safety checks in place now? From next year, we have

:07:00. > :07:10.the new Bill going through Parliament. CRT's are going to beat

:07:10. > :07:16.

:07:16. > :07:19.That is a great concern to us at Also, the most important thing it

:07:20. > :07:24.is to encourage children a young people to speak out if they are

:07:24. > :07:34.being targeted. I think so, and certainly parents and carers have a

:07:34. > :07:38.

:07:38. > :07:46.key player it -- key role to play You can see that investigation, An

:07:46. > :07:50.Abuse Of Trust, tonight at 10:35pm. A suicide note written by a mother

:07:50. > :07:55.before she killed herself and her two young sons, has been read out

:07:56. > :08:04.at her inquest. The body of Susan Talby was found by her husband the

:08:04. > :08:08.family home in Peterborough in 2007. Susan Talby took her own life when

:08:08. > :08:14.the balance of her mind was unbalanced. That was the verdict of

:08:14. > :08:20.the coroner. The death of her two boys recorded as unlawful. This was

:08:20. > :08:24.the inquest into another who suffer from depression. Susan Talby, a

:08:24. > :08:34.mother who took a own life after taking the lives of her two young

:08:34. > :08:44.sons. I am truly sorry, she wrote to her husband. "I cannot have some

:08:44. > :08:47.

:08:47. > :08:51.Today, the family's figure spoke on their behalf. I am left utterly

:08:51. > :08:57.devastated. I love them with all my heart. They meant everything to me

:08:57. > :09:00.and others, and we had many great times together. I know that Sue

:09:00. > :09:05.would not have done these horrendous acts had she been well.

:09:05. > :09:15.For returning home from home or -- work, he found his family dead

:09:15. > :09:19.

:09:19. > :09:25.inside. What his family found was read out at the inquest. He saw her

:09:25. > :09:35.hanging from -- hanging in his bedroom -- in her bedroom with a

:09:35. > :09:38.

:09:38. > :09:46.belt. He he -- she had killed my After treatment, Susan Talby,

:09:46. > :09:51.proved no risk to anyone else. Communication between GPs and

:09:51. > :09:57.mental health care was poor. The deaths were totally unexpected.

:09:57. > :10:06.Mother and sons were later rest in 2007. Susan Talby had been asked --

:10:06. > :10:12.had asked that they would be buried together. When he kissed his family

:10:12. > :10:20.for the last time, he had no reason to be concerned. What Richard will

:10:20. > :10:25.be saw that day, the coroner described as horrendous. He had to

:10:25. > :10:30.deal with the stress and trauma of this inquest.

:10:30. > :10:40.Still to come, Alex will be here with the weather, and Ken is down

:10:40. > :10:40.

:10:40. > :10:47.on the Broads. I am taking an unscientific sample of the water.

:10:47. > :10:57.It has a green tinge. The bad news is that toxic algae is back. We

:10:57. > :11:00.

:11:01. > :11:06.will have more on that when -- A new police band designed to catch

:11:06. > :11:10.people who break the law on level crossings has been put on show

:11:10. > :11:15.today. It has nine cameras as well as technology to recognise

:11:15. > :11:22.numberplates. These are the only light that but even emergency

:11:22. > :11:28.vehicles can't go through. That does not stop people trying. This

:11:28. > :11:34.is the police's later bit of kit to stop them. It has and extras pack

:11:34. > :11:39.the price of a BMW, but I think Jeremy Clarkson would 11. We need

:11:39. > :11:43.something that would take an image of the driver's face. The automatic

:11:43. > :11:48.numberplate recognition cameras will allow us to find out the name

:11:48. > :11:56.and address of the driver. I think the piece de resistance is the red

:11:56. > :12:01.eye, the camera that can work day and night. More than 60 people were

:12:01. > :12:08.prosecuted on this crossing alone, and that was too serious for the

:12:08. > :12:14.crossing keeper to ignore. Now, he would not be the one working alone.

:12:14. > :12:20.It is not just targeting motorists. This was picked up earlier today.

:12:20. > :12:29.It is quite clear what it is here. If they persist on people --

:12:29. > :12:33.pitting others in danger, and the police will come down on them.

:12:33. > :12:36.Essex and 10 digits seemed to be the worst offenders, but with over

:12:36. > :12:40.1,000 coffers -- crossings in the region, the police will have their

:12:40. > :12:44.The southbound carriageway of the A12 in Suffolk was closed this

:12:44. > :12:47.afternoon after a car hit a tree at Capel St Mary. Two people were

:12:47. > :12:51.killed and two teenagers were cut free from the wreckage. Ambulance

:12:51. > :12:53.crews arrived at about one o'clock. One man in his late teens was

:12:53. > :12:56.airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge with serious chest

:12:56. > :13:01.injuries. Another was taken to hospital in Colchester with

:13:01. > :13:05.injuries to his leg and face. One of the region's water companies

:13:05. > :13:08.is likely to pass into foreign ownership. Investors from Asia are

:13:08. > :13:13.poised to buy Essex and Suffolk Water, which has nearly two million

:13:13. > :13:17.customers in towns such as Southend, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.

:13:17. > :13:19.You may never have heard of Li Ka- Shing. But the Hong Kong

:13:19. > :13:23.businessman has been busy buying up the utility companies that millions

:13:23. > :13:26.of us depend on. Last year, his companies bought UK Power Networks,

:13:26. > :13:32.which owns and operates the cables and power lines that bring

:13:32. > :13:38.electricity to our homes. And today he announced plans to buy Essex and

:13:38. > :13:45.Suffolk Water. It supplies water to 1.8 million homes. But regulators

:13:45. > :13:48.don't want Li Ka-Shing to get too powerful. They've ordered him to

:13:48. > :13:56.sell Cambridge Water, which he bought seven years ago. The new

:13:56. > :13:59.owner of Cambridge, which has 300,000 customers, is the HSBC bank.

:13:59. > :14:03.But today's moves mean the influence of the Hong Kong

:14:03. > :14:07.businessmen continues to grow. More than 200 charities across the

:14:07. > :14:10.region have seen big cuts to their budgets this year as part of the

:14:10. > :14:13.squeeze on public spending. A survey by a group of trade unions

:14:13. > :14:19.names Suffolk as one of the worst affected counties, with county

:14:19. > :14:22.council cuts to the voluntary sector of �1.1 million. But

:14:22. > :14:26.Tendring and Colchester Councils are praised for increasing their

:14:26. > :14:30.spending on charities. There was a security alert today

:14:30. > :14:33.after a suitcase was found outside a mosque in Southend. Roads were

:14:33. > :14:38.cordoned off around the building in Chelmsford Avenue and an army bomb

:14:38. > :14:40.squad called in. But it was a false alarm. It's thought a case full of

:14:40. > :14:43.old pillows had been left there by mistake.

:14:43. > :14:48.Work is underway to demolish part of the old Bradwell Nuclear power

:14:48. > :14:53.station in Essex. The turbine hall is the first building to be cleared

:14:53. > :14:57.at the site, which stopped generating electricity in 2002. The

:14:57. > :15:03.decommissioning process will take 100 years to complete.

:15:04. > :15:09.For 50 years, it's been part of the local skyline. But no more. This

:15:09. > :15:12.huge water tank once fed one of six steam turbines at Bradwell. This

:15:12. > :15:16.was the turbine hall before demolition began. The polished

:15:17. > :15:26.dials now lie discarded. The turbines themselves are being sold

:15:26. > :15:30.off for scrap. 1950s engineering, it is built to last and it has

:15:30. > :15:33.lasted well. Unfortunately, it has gone past it shelf-life and we have

:15:33. > :15:38.come in to demolish it. So far, 6,500 tonnes of scrap metal

:15:38. > :15:41.have been cleared. Every skip is checked for radioactivity. Soon

:15:41. > :15:46.attention will turn to the two reactor buildings. They will be

:15:46. > :15:49.covered in cladding and left until 2087, when levels of radioactivity

:15:50. > :15:52.will have subsided to a point where they too can be taken down.

:15:52. > :15:56.In all, Magnox Limited estimates the total cost of decommissioning

:15:56. > :15:58.Bradwell to be around �1 billion. Extra funding from the Nuclear

:15:58. > :16:06.Decommisioning Authority has allowed the early stages to be

:16:06. > :16:09.completed more quickly than originally planned. This is the

:16:09. > :16:15.first sight that will be incurring maintenance for the UK. The lessons

:16:15. > :16:21.we learn here will be taken to other sites, like once in Suffolk

:16:21. > :16:24.and Kent. We are the pilot, but we are very proud to be the first to

:16:24. > :16:28.progress to the maintenance phase. The Government has confirmed it

:16:28. > :16:31.regards Bradwell as suitable for a new nuclear power station. The old

:16:31. > :16:37.station's turbine hall will be gone soon, but its huge reactor

:16:37. > :16:39.buildings will be around for many years to come.

:16:39. > :16:43.With the new football season starting on Saturday, Colchester

:16:43. > :16:47.United want to sign two new forwards. The players were at the

:16:47. > :16:51.Weston Homes Community Stadium today for the annual photo-call.

:16:51. > :16:54.The club has been trying to sign a striker all summer.

:16:54. > :16:57.But there is some good news.Striker Steven Gillespie is fit. He has

:16:57. > :17:01.struggled with injury during pre- season, but will be available to

:17:01. > :17:11.play at Preston this weekend. Colchester are looking to build on

:17:11. > :17:14.

:17:14. > :17:18.last season. I need to supplement the front part, we are a bit short.

:17:18. > :17:28.I don't want to replace people, we are happy with the team, but they

:17:28. > :17:32.

:17:32. > :17:34.would play every game, we have to -- they won't.

:17:35. > :17:37.It's been revealed that some companies in this region don't want

:17:37. > :17:39.to employ British workers because they believe people from Eastern

:17:40. > :17:42.Europe work harder. All this week, we're looking at the

:17:42. > :17:46.issue of immigration. Here in the east, numbers of Eastern European

:17:46. > :17:50.workers have almost quadrupled in the last five years. In 2006, there

:17:50. > :17:56.were 20,000 employed here. In 2011, that figure has grown to 77,000,

:17:56. > :18:02.according to official Government figures. Some British workers have

:18:02. > :18:07.told Look East that they feel discriminated against.

:18:07. > :18:12.The it is the start of the potato harvest. Hard, Brack -- back-

:18:12. > :18:16.breaking work. These Lithuanians are part of the team. They have

:18:16. > :18:21.been found for a local farmer by a gang master who came here from the

:18:21. > :18:25.Ukraine 15 years ago. Eastern Europeans people come to this

:18:25. > :18:31.country for one reason, because economics in Eastern Europe are so

:18:31. > :18:35.bad. There are not many jobs. take my hat off to the migrant

:18:35. > :18:38.workers. They come from the other side of the world to find work. You

:18:38. > :18:44.have got to admire that. A lot of British workers would go from one

:18:44. > :18:47.side of town to the other. -- will not. I did mean that as a

:18:47. > :18:51.generalisation, there are some very good British workers, but migrant

:18:51. > :18:54.workers come from the other side of the world and you have to take your

:18:54. > :18:59.hat off to them. There is no denying how much migrant labour is

:18:59. > :19:01.part of life here in the east, but is it going too far? We have had

:19:01. > :19:08.from a staffing agency in the region that some companies prefer

:19:08. > :19:11.not to have British workers. It is illegal to ask for anyone from a

:19:11. > :19:15.particular country or not from a particular country, it is

:19:15. > :19:18.discrimination. But although it is illegal, people manage to get it

:19:18. > :19:23.into the conversation and it is purely because they have been let

:19:23. > :19:28.down so many times that they decide, I will not take English people any

:19:28. > :19:31.more, I will take someone who actually wants the job. We Speech

:19:31. > :19:36.is one of the main areas where migrants have chosen to come and

:19:36. > :19:41.live and many of them work on farms or in factories, much fewer Orin

:19:41. > :19:45.managerial posts. But they make up some of the 77,000 migrants now

:19:45. > :19:49.living and working in the east. Outside the JobCentre, some say

:19:49. > :19:53.they are being discriminated against by firms and of being

:19:53. > :19:56.overlooked in favour of foreign workers. They actually pull the

:19:56. > :20:01.strings with that kind of work, the factory worker and everything. If

:20:01. > :20:05.you are not a foreigner, you have a hell of a job to get a job. I have

:20:05. > :20:09.been looking for a job for a year, I have been to the JobCentre, there

:20:09. > :20:15.are no jobs out there. I have tried going to the agency, they have no

:20:15. > :20:19.work. You can't live at British standards on the minimum wage. And

:20:19. > :20:23.if the money keeps going out of the country, it is like a hole in a

:20:23. > :20:27.balloon. Some are concerned that because by gross have such a low

:20:27. > :20:30.wage in their own country they are prepared to to accept lower

:20:30. > :20:34.conditions here -- micros. With no controls on the number of people

:20:34. > :20:39.coming from Europe, the tension surrounding the region's job market

:20:39. > :20:42.is unlikely to go away. And tomorrow we'll be looking at

:20:42. > :20:45.some of the issues raised in that report, when we talk to the

:20:45. > :20:47.Immigration Minister, Damien Green. It's been a good start to the

:20:47. > :20:50.school holidays for the tourist industry in the region. But it's

:20:50. > :20:53.not all good news, especially on the Broads in Norfolk.

:20:53. > :20:57.The return of hot sunny weather has encouraged the blooming of an algae

:20:57. > :21:03.that's turning the water green. Lets go live to the Broads and our

:21:03. > :21:08.chief reporter Kim Riley. Yes, down the years, from time to

:21:08. > :21:11.time, we have seen our waterways infested by this toxic algae. It

:21:12. > :21:17.can cause health problems in humans and can cause animals and fish to

:21:17. > :21:20.die. Thanks to the recent hot weather, it is back, but to see it

:21:20. > :21:25.most dramatically, you can take to the air.

:21:25. > :21:29.A gallery in the market town. For the next few weeks, it is

:21:29. > :21:33.showcasing the talents of an aerial photographer. He has been flying

:21:33. > :21:39.over the East Anglian countryside and coastline since the 1970s. This

:21:39. > :21:43.is his normal view. I know we get blue-green algae appearing at

:21:43. > :21:50.different times of the year on the Broads, but normally it is in small

:21:50. > :21:54.amounts just around the edges, and you see a green tinge. I was around

:21:54. > :21:59.that the Broads on Sunday and the whole of the it was completely

:21:59. > :22:04.green. I took a couple of pictures, and hence we have this startling

:22:04. > :22:09.shot of blue-green algae. Busy with holiday kit -- holidaymakers this

:22:09. > :22:13.afternoon. The Holiday Trust has posted a algae warning, of

:22:13. > :22:17.regarding skin rashes, stomach upsets and other complaints. This

:22:17. > :22:23.family from Oxfordshire are frequent visitors to the Broads.

:22:23. > :22:28.were out sailing this morning and I have never seen it so bad. We

:22:28. > :22:33.noticed it yesterday as well. There were kids jumping the end, despite

:22:33. > :22:37.the signs, and it looked really horrible -- jumping in. Back in the

:22:37. > :22:41.1960s, visitors to the Broads were unlikely to be troubled by algae.

:22:51. > :22:55.was not to panic. Where they see a blue scum or a green tinge on the

:22:55. > :22:59.top of the water, that might be a warning sign that there is blue-

:22:59. > :23:03.green algae, so it is sensible to keep your dogs out of the water, do

:23:03. > :23:07.not swim and do not get it on your skin. In the meantime, you can

:23:07. > :23:11.certainly enjoy yourself on the water. And a change in weather

:23:11. > :23:15.conditions is all that is needed to tackle the green menace.

:23:15. > :23:18.The Broads Authority is are appealing to people on the boats

:23:18. > :23:22.are to use environmentally sensitive stuff when showering,

:23:22. > :23:25.when washing up, not to put back into the water things that can

:23:25. > :23:28.actually encourage the growth of these algae. The best thing that

:23:28. > :23:31.can happen, though, is a change in the weather.

:23:31. > :23:34.I think we might be getting one of those!

:23:34. > :23:37.A unique wartime autograph book which has its roots in Suffolk was

:23:37. > :23:40.sold at auction today. It contains more than 100

:23:40. > :23:44.signatures, including Douglas Bader and other pilots from the Battle of

:23:44. > :23:47.Britain. This report from Kevin Burch.

:23:47. > :23:50.Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so

:23:50. > :23:55.many to so few. Sir Winston Churchill recognised

:23:55. > :24:01.how precious these signatures were. This wasn't just a book of names,

:24:01. > :24:06.he said, but a book of heroes. God Forbid it should ever be lost.

:24:06. > :24:11.is a unique item. It is very difficult always to put a price on

:24:11. > :24:13.things like this. One cannot say that once sold recently for so and

:24:13. > :24:16.so much, there is nothing comparable.

:24:16. > :24:19.Collected in 1941 by a steward in the officers' mess, what's called

:24:19. > :24:23.The Celebrated RAF Book of Heroes has 107 names, including Douglas

:24:23. > :24:29.Bader. He was based here at what was RAF Martlesham Heath from

:24:29. > :24:37.December 1940 until March 1941. And it was Bader, apparently, who had

:24:37. > :24:43.the book bound in leather, cut from an old chair at Martlesham. I can

:24:43. > :24:47.imagine him having this book, or the mess man showing him the book,

:24:47. > :24:51.and him saying it, we can't leave it like that, it needs some leather

:24:51. > :24:55.around it. And hacking it out of the chair! Bader's extraordinary

:24:55. > :24:58.life was immortalised on the big screen in the 1956 film. Reach For

:24:58. > :25:02.The Sky. Today, the small pocket- sized book in which he also

:25:02. > :25:05.featured proved another draw. It was expected to fetch �8,000 at

:25:05. > :25:15.auction, but it sold for just over �33,000, bought by a private

:25:24. > :25:28.Thank you. It was warmer today. These baby elephants enjoyed a

:25:28. > :25:33.cooling down at Whipsnade Zoo. If we look at temperatures across the

:25:34. > :25:38.region, we can see many locations got up to 27 or 28 degrees. We will

:25:38. > :25:44.keep these humid conditions for another few days before fresher air

:25:44. > :25:47.returned by Friday. It is quite unstable air, so it has triggered

:25:47. > :25:51.one or two showers. There were some this morning that it jumped up from

:25:51. > :25:55.London and there will be a second crop just around the south-west of

:25:55. > :25:58.the region. So one or two heavy showers still about. They will

:25:58. > :26:03.become isolated this evening but there is a risk of them overnight

:26:03. > :26:06.as well, and it will stay really humid. You can see where the

:26:06. > :26:11.computer thinks the shares will fall tonight. Some clearer skies

:26:11. > :26:16.between the odd shower, but temperatures will not get lower

:26:16. > :26:23.than 15 or 14 degrees tonight. The wind is a light South-south-

:26:23. > :26:28.westerly. Tomorrow is a day of heavy, thundery showers, and really

:26:28. > :26:33.warm, humid temperatures. We will start the day find with some

:26:33. > :26:37.sunshine, and a good scattering of showers across the region -- fine.

:26:37. > :26:41.Some could turn heavy and thundery. You can see the darker colours

:26:41. > :26:47.indicating where they are heaviest. Temperatures climbing even further

:26:47. > :26:51.tomorrow, 27 or 28 degrees possible, with the wind staying lighter,

:26:51. > :26:55.south-south-easterly. A little cooler around the coast. Through

:26:55. > :26:58.the afternoon, still a further risk of those heavy showers, you can see

:26:58. > :27:04.at times they merge together to produce a more persistent band of

:27:04. > :27:07.rain down the centre of the region. Thursday and for the rest of the

:27:07. > :27:12.week, low-pressure is driving things. This front presents itself

:27:12. > :27:16.on Thursday. After a dry start, we could get heavy rain falling in a

:27:16. > :27:21.short space of time. Here is the outlook. Heavy and thundery showers

:27:21. > :27:25.tomorrow, heavy rain for Thursday and into Friday, cooler and fresher

:27:25. > :27:27.conditions, mainly dry with some sunshine. Unsettled into the

:27:27. > :27:29.weekend with the chance of some weekend with the chance of some
