:00:19. > :00:23.from asbestos are continuing to rise years after it was banned.
:00:23. > :00:26.This man died last Christmas, aged just 48. He was about 13 stone, and
:00:26. > :00:28.went down to eight stone in just a few months.
:00:28. > :00:32.Hello and welcome to the programme. Also tonight:
:00:32. > :00:35.The most expensive company you've probably never heard of. Why
:00:35. > :00:38.Autonomy of Cambridge is worth billions.
:00:38. > :00:42.On the streets to "save our fields" - the residents protesting in
:00:43. > :00:47.Basildon. And if you're tired of lugging your
:00:47. > :00:57.tent and camping gear to music festivals, how about one of these?
:00:57. > :01:01.
:01:01. > :01:05.Stay tuned, and I'll have all the First tonight, why hundreds of
:01:05. > :01:10.people in our region are dying from a cancer caused by asbestos, and
:01:10. > :01:13.why that death toll will continue to rise. In the frontline -
:01:13. > :01:18.builders and carpenters who worked with the killer material until it
:01:18. > :01:22.was finally banned in 1999. Also affected, many wives and partners,
:01:22. > :01:25.because they inhaled the dust as they washed the clothes. And
:01:26. > :01:30.figures compiled by Look East show how the number of people dying in
:01:30. > :01:35.our region has grown in recent years. It will probably continue
:01:36. > :01:45.rising. These numbers for 2010 show the hotspots. In Essex, 115 people
:01:46. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:57.died last year. In Norfolk, 53 died. Two years ago, Derek was given only
:01:57. > :02:07.five years to live. He is a carpenter, and inhaled asbestos.
:02:07. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:12.am angry that I had been using it. A little bit of it was disbelief,
:02:12. > :02:15.denial. There are different stages you go through when you are told
:02:16. > :02:22.you have cancer. A asbestos has been used in building materials
:02:22. > :02:25.since the 1950s, but it's dust can cause a landing along the long
:02:25. > :02:29.called mesothelioma, and deaths from it are at an all-time high.
:02:29. > :02:33.The figures have continued to increase over recent years, which
:02:33. > :02:37.reflects occupational exposures that occurred many years ago,
:02:37. > :02:41.because there is a long time lag between exposure in most cases and
:02:41. > :02:45.the onset of the disease. Her last year in Essex, inquests were hurled
:02:45. > :02:49.into the deaths of more than 100 people with industrial disease.
:02:49. > :02:53.Virtually all of them had been exposed to asbestos. In an inquest
:02:53. > :02:57.how he into the death of 77-year- old Patricia Colette, the coroner
:02:57. > :03:01.heard how she had been exposed to asbestos while working as a
:03:01. > :03:04.seamstress. She also watched her husband's clothes after he came
:03:04. > :03:10.home from working on demolition sites. That is just one example of
:03:10. > :03:15.how something that was supposed to be a wonder building material has
:03:15. > :03:22.turned into a killer. The killer who works indiscriminately,
:03:22. > :03:26.destroying thousands of lives every year. Another of his victims, Tom's
:03:26. > :03:30.so well. He worked with asbestos as an apprentice. This photo was taken
:03:30. > :03:34.last Christmas a couple of weeks before he died. Doctors told him he
:03:34. > :03:41.was exceptionally young to be diagnosed with mesothelioma. His
:03:41. > :03:45.family lost him at just 48. It he lost an incredible amount of weight.
:03:45. > :03:53.He was about 13 stone, and he went down to eight stone in just a few
:03:53. > :03:57.months. It is shocking, really. And he had problems with breathing. And
:03:57. > :04:01.also the mental torment of it was horrific for him as well, just
:04:01. > :04:05.being Serie gang and knowing that you will not spend the rest of your
:04:05. > :04:10.life with your family. How much do you miss him as a family?
:04:10. > :04:14.Desperately miss him, because he was a big part of our lives. It has
:04:14. > :04:18.been awful. The Health and Safety Executive expect deaths from
:04:18. > :04:25.mesothelioma to rise for the next five years. They are continuing to
:04:25. > :04:32.warn people about asbestos. It was used extensively all the way up
:04:32. > :04:36.until 1999, when it was finally banned. So we have quite a stock of
:04:36. > :04:40.buildings which have asbestos containing materials. Derek Reeve
:04:40. > :04:46.hopes the continued warnings about asbestos are he did so that others
:04:46. > :04:50.do not suffer. Some days, you get very depressed. You have not got
:04:50. > :04:53.long, and it is like an egg timer running out. That there is every
:04:53. > :04:58.indication that this killer will still be with us for some time to
:04:58. > :05:01.come. Earlier, I spoke to Dr Mark Slade,
:05:01. > :05:04.a consultant at Papworth Hospital near Cambridge. It is one of the
:05:04. > :05:13.leading hospitals in the country for dealing with mesothelioma. I
:05:13. > :05:19.started by asking him what effect asbestos had on the body. Asbestos
:05:19. > :05:25.is harmful because it is a rock at Kerrin in very sharp fibres. So
:05:25. > :05:30.when it is breathed in as these microscopic fibres, they can work
:05:30. > :05:34.their way through the tissues in the lungs, so you get long-standing
:05:34. > :05:41.inflammation, particularly in the lining of the ribcage. That can go
:05:41. > :05:48.on for many years or decades, and lead to different diseases,
:05:48. > :05:55.particularly in the lining of the rib cage. The worst of these is
:05:55. > :06:00.manga mesothelioma, a cancer of the lung lining, which typically has an
:06:00. > :06:05.on set period of 30 to 50 years after exposure. If people who have
:06:05. > :06:10.been in contact with asbestos many years ago sought treatment earlier,
:06:10. > :06:14.could things like mesothelioma be prevented? We do not think so,
:06:14. > :06:18.because there is no known prevention, unfortunately. Once the
:06:18. > :06:22.fibres are in there, they are distributed microscopically through
:06:22. > :06:29.the lining of the ribcage and there would not be any way of getting
:06:29. > :06:31.them out again. We do not know of any agent or drug that could
:06:31. > :06:37.prevent that long-standing information from leading eventually
:06:37. > :06:41.to mesothelioma. In a small proportion of patients. I know that
:06:42. > :06:45.there is a special trial going on at Papworth Hospital is involved
:06:45. > :06:51.with, and innovative surgical approach to mesothelioma. Can you
:06:51. > :06:56.tell us about that? Yes, that is keyhole surgery on the chest cavity.
:06:56. > :06:59.The trial is exploring whether doing an operation to remove as
:06:59. > :07:05.much of the tumour as possible at the beginning of the patient's
:07:05. > :07:12.treatment will improve the outcome. Sadly, there is no surgical cure
:07:12. > :07:17.for mesothelioma. Do but we believe that if one removes as much as one
:07:17. > :07:21.can, that will help people to have better symptoms and to live longer
:07:21. > :07:27.than they would if you simply treated them with other treatments
:07:27. > :07:31.like chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone.
:07:31. > :07:34.And if you or your family have been affected by asbestos, we would be
:07:34. > :07:36.keen to hear your story. You can call us or e-mail us in the usual
:07:36. > :07:39.way. A high-tech company from Cambridge
:07:39. > :07:44.is about to be sold for an amazing �7 billion. More details on the
:07:44. > :07:47.deal in a moment. But first, a bit about the man behind Autonomy. They
:07:47. > :07:53.call him Britain's Bill Gates, but everything about Mike Lynch is East
:07:53. > :07:56.Anglian. He lives in rural Suffolk. He grew up in Chelmsford, where his
:07:56. > :08:00.father was a fireman, his mother a nurse. He studied engineering at
:08:00. > :08:10.Cambridge University, and founded Autonomy in 1996 with a �2,000 loan.
:08:10. > :08:11.
:08:11. > :08:16.But now Hewlett-Packard have agreed to pay an awful lot more.
:08:16. > :08:20.Grey window frames, a box on a business park. This is Britain's
:08:20. > :08:27.Police software company. Its sale, the second-largest in software
:08:27. > :08:31.history, a massive �7.1 billion. Mike Lynch founded it. When you
:08:31. > :08:34.have the kind of people you can find in this part of the world,
:08:35. > :08:38.incredibly creative and innovative people, give them the technology,
:08:38. > :08:44.and they start creating more. You can create a world-class thing.
:08:44. > :08:52.Last year, the Duke of York visited here. Then and now, a time of tough
:08:52. > :08:56.all started. But Autonomy has seen huge profits. Computers here design
:08:56. > :09:00.software so that computers can understand things like
:09:00. > :09:04.conversations, television, read e- mails, read Facebook, even
:09:04. > :09:09.understand tweets. Hewlett Packard is a world giant in computing and
:09:09. > :09:13.hardware. In the takeover, Mike Lynch will make half a billion,
:09:13. > :09:17.�500 million, becoming one of Britain's wealthiest men. Staff
:09:17. > :09:22.will share profits of �30 million, but what does this mean for the
:09:23. > :09:27.company and for Cambridge, home of hi-tech by a tech industry? HPA is
:09:27. > :09:31.largely a hardware business. It is buying in software expertise to
:09:32. > :09:39.create a whole new business. The management and R'n'B are staying
:09:39. > :09:44.here. The influence in HP is coming out of here. So this is very good
:09:44. > :09:49.news for Cambridge and the UK. name Autonomy will stay, along with
:09:49. > :09:54.its boss. As our biggest software company is now a small part of
:09:54. > :09:56.something much bigger. A teenager has appeared in court
:09:56. > :10:06.accused of inciting a riot in Northampton. Aidan Curwen was
:10:06. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:11.remanded in custody. Today 18-year-old Aidan Curwen from
:10:11. > :10:15.Northampton appeared here for his first crown court hearing. He is
:10:15. > :10:19.charged with using an instant messaging service to incite a riot.
:10:19. > :10:25.On 9th August, Aidan Curwen is accused of using the BlackBerry
:10:25. > :10:28.messaging service on his phone to send messages to 147 people. The
:10:28. > :10:33.Crown Prosecution Service say those messages had the ability to
:10:33. > :10:37.encourage or assist a riot. Today Judge Farrer ordered Aidan Curwen
:10:37. > :10:41.to return here on 21st October, when he will get the chance to
:10:41. > :10:48.enter a plea. In the meantime, his defence team applied for bail, but
:10:48. > :10:51.the application was refused. In Milton Keynes, another teenager, a
:10:51. > :10:55.16-year-old boy who we are not allowed to named for legal reasons,
:10:55. > :10:58.appeared before magistrates charged with public disorder. The boys
:10:59. > :11:04.accused of violent disorder, shoplifting and criminal damage,
:11:04. > :11:07.which is alleged to have taken place in Bletchley on 9th August.
:11:07. > :11:11.He has also been remanded in custody at a young offenders'
:11:11. > :11:14.centre. He will appear before the youth court in until the teams on

:11:34. > :11:38.An MP has called on Essex County Council to take direct control of a
:11:38. > :11:41.care home following the death of a second resident. Robert Halfon says
:11:41. > :11:51.it's vital that no more lives are put at risk at the Partridge Care
:11:51. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :11:56.Centre in Harlow. Our chief reporter is in Harlow now.
:11:56. > :12:00.It began a fortnight ago, when three residents were admitted to
:12:00. > :12:05.the Princess Alexandra hospital with diabetes related problems. And
:12:05. > :12:09.89-year-old woman died just three days later. The post-mortem is
:12:09. > :12:12.inconclusive. Last night, and 80- year-old woman died. That leaves an
:12:12. > :12:16.elderly gentleman still in the hospital in a serious but stable
:12:16. > :12:22.condition. Police investigations have focused on the way medicines
:12:22. > :12:27.are given out to the relatives, but they say at the moment, the deaths
:12:27. > :12:30.are being treated as unexplained. A 36-year-old woman arrested as part
:12:30. > :12:37.of the police inquiry has been released on bail.
:12:37. > :12:41.What can you tell us about the home itself? It is quite smart. It is
:12:41. > :12:46.purpose-built and run by rushed if Care Ltd, which cares for elderly
:12:46. > :12:48.people with conditions like dementia. In March, the Quality
:12:48. > :12:53.Care Commission inspected it and found seven essential standards
:12:53. > :12:57.were not being met. Today, the local MP has effectively put more
:12:57. > :13:01.pressure on Essex County Council to take direct control of the home so
:13:01. > :13:04.that no more lives are at risk, in his words. In a statement issued a
:13:04. > :13:10.couple of hours ago, Essex County Council confirmed that it had
:13:10. > :13:13.stopped placing people at this home and put intensive support into it,
:13:13. > :13:17.working with staff on an action plan to raise the quality of care.
:13:17. > :13:22.It says safeguarding our most vulnerable is our priority. It says
:13:22. > :13:26.the majority of residents wish to stay on here, but those that wish
:13:26. > :13:28.to move, it will support and encourage to get into alternative
:13:28. > :13:31.accommodation. The UK's leading dementia charity
:13:31. > :13:33.is giving Cambridge University three quarters of a million pounds
:13:33. > :13:36.for research. It'll pay for four projects looking into new
:13:36. > :13:42.treatments. There are more than 800,000 people with dementia in the
:13:42. > :13:45.UK. There's no cure, and drugs can only alleviate the symptoms. An
:13:45. > :13:49.animal sanctuary in Felixstowe which last year was threatened with
:13:49. > :13:52.closure has submitted plans for a bigger new site. Thousands of
:13:52. > :13:56.people signed a petition to save the Blue Cross centre after the
:13:56. > :13:59.charity said it wanted to close it because it was outdated.
:13:59. > :14:03.Residents from across Basildon staged a demonstration in the town
:14:03. > :14:13.centre today. They were protesting at plans to sell off local playing
:14:13. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:20.fields to help pay for a new sports centre.
:14:21. > :14:25.Save our fields! A noisy protest at the Kent new Recreation Ground. The
:14:25. > :14:30.council wants to sell off this field to make way for a new housing
:14:30. > :14:34.development. We feel totally outraged that this administration
:14:34. > :14:39.have stooped so low that they have to develop and sell off children's
:14:39. > :14:45.playing fields. We play football, rounders, have picnics, walked dogs
:14:45. > :14:50.and play. If they take that away, where would we go? The council has
:14:50. > :14:54.built this new �38 million sports centre across town, and needs money
:14:54. > :14:58.to help pay for it. No one from the council was available for interview
:14:58. > :15:02.today, but in a statement, the leader of the council says, in
:15:02. > :15:05.these tough economic times, Basildon council has made the
:15:05. > :15:10.decision to invest in facilities for the good of the whole borough.
:15:10. > :15:14.There is a planned development at Gloucester Park as well, and
:15:14. > :15:18.protesters also marched from there. The old swimming pool has come to
:15:18. > :15:25.the use -- end of his life, so they need to pay for the new one. Yes,
:15:25. > :15:32.but there are other ways to fund this. Why can't they save our part?
:15:32. > :15:37.It is terrible. At the council offices, the protesters made their
:15:37. > :15:43.views known loud and clear. But for now, the council appears unwilling
:15:43. > :15:49.to change its plans. The owners of Old Buckenham Airfield in Norfolk
:15:49. > :15:52.say its future has been secured. There's been an airshow at Old
:15:52. > :15:55.Buckenham for more than ten years, but this year it was cancelled for
:15:55. > :15:58.lack of sponsorship and advertising. The owners say they've now brought
:15:58. > :16:00.more business in with the help of volunteers. Offices and a new
:16:00. > :16:05.business park have been opened. James Stewart and Walter Matthau
:16:06. > :16:08.were both based at Old Buckenham during the war.
:16:08. > :16:12.Their song is one of the traditional sounds of spring, but
:16:12. > :16:14.each year, fewer and fewer cuckoos are returning to Britain. To try to
:16:14. > :16:18.find out why, researchers in Norfolk fitted five birds with
:16:18. > :16:26.satellite tags. If they find out where they go, they hope they might
:16:26. > :16:32.be able to help them come back. It all began with this stuffed
:16:32. > :16:36.cuckoo. This team of researchers used the fake female as a lure to
:16:36. > :16:40.attract and catch male cuckoos. The five birds they managed to catch
:16:41. > :16:44.are now wearing these tiny satellite tracker backpacks. These
:16:44. > :16:50.allow the team to follow the birds on their migration to Africa. The
:16:50. > :16:55.aim is to find out why each year, fewer cuckoos return to Britain.
:16:55. > :16:59.One of the cuckoos was tagged right here on this beautiful nature
:16:59. > :17:03.reserve in Norfolk. But he spent just two months here before setting
:17:03. > :17:07.off for Africa, which is where he and the other four birds will spend
:17:07. > :17:13.the winter. The tags have revealed for the first time exactly where
:17:13. > :17:17.they go on that long journey south. The cuckoo tag on that reserve,
:17:17. > :17:22.named Clement, was the first to set off. After flying to France, he
:17:22. > :17:28.took a westerly route around the Mediterranean to Spain and landed
:17:28. > :17:33.in Africa in July. He has now safely crossed the Sahara and ended
:17:33. > :17:36.in southern Burkina Faso. The other birds were not far behind. Because
:17:36. > :17:41.spring in Britain and Europe as a whole is warming up, they need to
:17:42. > :17:45.get back earlier. Without knowing where they are spending the winter,
:17:45. > :17:50.autumn and spring, we cannot work out where the bottlenecks are which
:17:50. > :18:00.might be limited when they can get back to last. The study could help
:18:00. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:07.conserve the bird that brings with it the defining sound of spring.
:18:07. > :18:08.Sport now, and there's another busy weekend ahead for our football
:18:08. > :18:14.weekend ahead for our football teams. Among the highlights, a
:18:14. > :18:17.regional derby between Peterborough Here's Tom.
:18:17. > :18:21.Starting with news from Ipswich, Paul Jewell says he hasn't given up
:18:22. > :18:24.hope of re-signing this man, Jimmy Bullard. The midfielder enjoyed a
:18:24. > :18:26.successful loan spell last season and spoke to the manager yesterday
:18:27. > :18:29.about a possible return. Onto Saturday's teatime game against
:18:29. > :18:36.Peterborough. Posh have demonstrated real resilience so far.
:18:36. > :18:41.Encouraging signs on their Championship return.
:18:41. > :18:44.All managers wish they were still playing the game, but it is the
:18:44. > :18:48.dug-out for Peterborough's Darren Ferguson tomorrow. His squad is
:18:48. > :18:52.much younger than Ipswich's, and their game plan is high energy,
:18:52. > :18:58.high tempo. We are a fit bunch, so we have to use that to our
:18:58. > :19:02.advantage. Ipswich have endured a rotten week, sinners against the
:19:02. > :19:07.Saints. Questions remain about their defence. No new players
:19:07. > :19:13.signed yet, but Paul Jewell is back in talks with Jimmy bollard.
:19:13. > :19:18.knows the set up here. He knows how we work. All the players and fans
:19:18. > :19:22.loved him. If we can afford to me, we would like to bring him here.
:19:22. > :19:25.Town could do with a win against posh to get them back on track, but
:19:25. > :19:33.history is not on their side. Tell me the last time Ipswich beat
:19:33. > :19:40.Peterborough? I can't remember. am not that good on my history!
:19:40. > :19:48.don't know. This man was in charge at the last time Ipswich beat Posh
:19:48. > :19:57.in 1972. That was the year I was born. Perhaps this man might help.
:19:57. > :20:06.Keith Andrews is bringing the goals for the team. We have had some
:20:06. > :20:12.really good battles. But they are a club I have a lot of time for. I
:20:12. > :20:17.have known their manager a long time. They play some good football.
:20:17. > :20:24.Andrews goes to to toe with Pot's Lee Frecklington. He expects Pushed
:20:24. > :20:28.to be on the front foot. We have a young, fit team. We play best at a
:20:28. > :20:34.high tempo. If you look at the first three games so far, that is
:20:34. > :20:38.where we have had success. That Clinton's goal was impressive. So

:20:48. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :20:53.London Road tomorrow. To the League One games tomorrow. Colchester head
:20:53. > :20:56.to Huddersfield. MK Dons, who are still unbeaten, host Chesterfield,
:20:56. > :20:58.while Stevenage who've also had a good start, take on Hartlepool. All
:20:58. > :21:01.3 o'clock kick-offs. In League Two, Northampton play Cheltenham.
:21:01. > :21:04.Cobblers boss Gary Johnson says his team needs to make amends after a
:21:04. > :21:07.poor performance in midweek. Southend, who also lost on Tuesday,
:21:07. > :21:11.are at home to Burton. In the Premier League, Norwich play their
:21:11. > :21:15.first home game on Sunday. Bad news for James Bigg, a lifelong Canary
:21:15. > :21:19.living in Canada, back here to get married and to take in the Stoke
:21:19. > :21:23.game, but as the match has been put back 24 hours, there's a clash. Now,
:21:23. > :21:26.there's a dilemma! My fiancee is standing next to me. Changing the
:21:26. > :21:34.date of the wedding would probably get me a sharp kick in the
:21:34. > :21:37.unmentionables. So that will not happen. We will forge ahead. It
:21:37. > :21:43.will still be a fantastic occasion and if Norwich can grab three
:21:43. > :21:47.points before we tie the knot, that would be a complete day.
:21:47. > :21:49.Kick off Sunday is at 1.30. There's coverage of all the games on your
:21:49. > :21:56.local BBC radio station. Highlights Saturday night on the Football
:21:56. > :22:01.League Show. Norwich will be on Match of the Day 2 on Sunday night.
:22:01. > :22:04.I think he made the right decision for marital bliss! Just a word
:22:04. > :22:07.about the Norwich City game this weekend. We're sorry we didn't have
:22:07. > :22:11.any of the normal interviews with the manager or players at Norwich
:22:11. > :22:14.City. The club won't let us interview them at the moment.
:22:14. > :22:17.Thousands of people are heading to Hylands Park today in Chelmsford
:22:17. > :22:20.today for one of the country's biggest music events. It's the V
:22:20. > :22:23.festival, of course. Around 170,000 people will see bands like the
:22:23. > :22:32.Arctic Monkeys, Duran Duran and The Kaiser Chiefs. Dawn Gerber is there
:22:32. > :22:36.now. Yes, beautiful weather. The Sun has
:22:36. > :22:40.stayed out, and fans have started to arrive. Most are heading to the
:22:40. > :22:45.main campsite, but a few have opted for something a bit special like
:22:45. > :22:49.this. I am in the luxury camping Arena, where you get a home from
:22:49. > :22:52.home environment. It is hot and sunny, and there are
:22:52. > :22:58.lots of back to carry, but there is an alternative to Basics campaign.
:22:58. > :23:03.You can upgrade to this, pop-up hotel room. Hot showers, a flush of
:23:03. > :23:08.the toilet, a fully air-conditioned room which locks. The luxury pays
:23:09. > :23:16.for itself. The upgrade is worth the money. We have come here for my
:23:16. > :23:20.40th. It was a present. If you were a dwarf, it would be OK. These are
:23:21. > :23:25.the lowest ones. You need to be 4 ft 6 to go in and out. I will tell
:23:25. > :23:30.you in a couple of days, when I probably have a bad back. But this
:23:30. > :23:36.pop-up hotel room does not come cheap. The Costa two people is
:23:36. > :23:41.�2,600, compared to �350 for a basic weekend camping pass for two
:23:41. > :23:48.people. There are cheaper alternatives. There is the gypsy
:23:48. > :23:54.caravan for �1,500 for two people, or the Hotel Bel tent, slightly
:23:54. > :23:59.less at �1,350. Prices also include access to the arena, hospitality
:23:59. > :24:04.and a special car park for the weekend. But are they worth it?
:24:04. > :24:08.air is the demand for it. So we cater for that demand. That is what
:24:08. > :24:13.some people want. And yes, they are quite nice. Wouldn't mind stay
:24:13. > :24:18.there myself! Do you think they are value for money? They cost what
:24:19. > :24:22.they cost. It is quite expensive. With so many new festivals of
:24:22. > :24:27.popping up, how worried are established festivals like V
:24:27. > :24:32.Festival? We do not have any issues finding a line-up? Batted the
:24:32. > :24:35.problem with a number of festivals. There is not enough talent to go
:24:35. > :24:40.round. But being one of the larger establishments, we have no problem
:24:40. > :24:43.getting our bill together. This seems to be a growing trend. Other
:24:43. > :24:47.festivals also offer boutique camping, but with the current
:24:47. > :24:53.economic climate, many of us cannot afford these luxuries. So perhaps
:24:53. > :24:57.it is best not to ditch your tent yet.
:24:57. > :25:02.So not cheap, but very lavish. The music kicks off tomorrow. We had
:25:02. > :25:05.the Arctic Monkeys and Plan B, plus a six in a Olly Murs playing to his
:25:05. > :25:10.home crowd. Lots of people looking forward to that. Eminem and Rihanna
:25:10. > :25:15.on Sunday, but the roads will be busy until Monday, so tune in to
:25:15. > :25:21.BBC Radio Essex to get the latest on the travel.
:25:21. > :25:30.You could go on a very nice holiday for the cost of that pop-up hotel!
:25:30. > :25:35.Part of the fund is surely getting wet and being a be? Yes, it is a
:25:35. > :25:42.good evening for setting up the tents. I think it will stay fine
:25:42. > :25:46.and dry this evening. Nice day today, but it will not stay as nice
:25:46. > :25:56.over the weekend. If you are going to V Festival, it looks as though
:25:56. > :25:59.
:25:59. > :26:09.both days could provide a shower. Temperatures will start to level
:26:09. > :26:17.Just the hint of a spot of light rain. Temperatures tonight will not
:26:17. > :26:20.for that low. To stay light south- westerly breeze. That does
:26:20. > :26:24.unfortunately leave the front brighter over tomorrow. It will
:26:24. > :26:28.bring us some patchy rain, but also the chance of one or two brighter
:26:28. > :26:33.intervals. The rain could turn up in the south, the North or just
:26:33. > :26:43.about anywhere tomorrow. But it will not last all day. It will be a
:26:43. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:48.cloudy day, with patchy rain, but also a few drier, brighter spells.
:26:48. > :26:53.It looks as though the wind is still south-westerly. In the
:26:53. > :26:58.evening, the last of that rain moves away to give us a bright-ish
:26:58. > :27:01.start on Sunday. But if you look at this area of the chart, a new low
:27:01. > :27:05.develops down there, which comes towards us on Monday night into
:27:05. > :27:09.Tuesday. That will bring us some very wet weather at the beginning
:27:09. > :27:16.of next week. Disappointing tomorrow, not much sunshine. There
:27:16. > :27:22.will be a brighter look to the weather on Sunday. Warm as well.
:27:22. > :27:26.Cloud rapidly increasing on Monday, and very wet on Tuesday. Wednesday
:27:26. > :27:30.starts to improve again. The winds will remain light through most of
:27:30. > :27:32.the weekend, good news if you are in those tense. Night-time
