:00:06. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight:
:00:13. > :00:18.Anger as a new countryside development is approved. This is a
:00:18. > :00:21.green light to developers that will see the destruction of much
:00:21. > :00:23.cherished piece of the countryside. Bravery awards for police after
:00:23. > :00:26.they rescue the passengers from this dramatic car crash.
:00:26. > :00:33.Travellers at Dale Farm tell the council, we don't want the homes
:00:33. > :00:43.you're offering. And I am in Trafalgar Square for
:00:43. > :00:44.
:00:44. > :00:49.Hello. First tonight, the planning permission described as madness and
:00:49. > :00:52.based on guidelines which may never become law. Controversial proposals
:00:52. > :00:54.for a lorry park in Norfolk were approved today after councillors
:00:54. > :01:01.were told the government now expects authorities to back plans
:01:01. > :01:03.which promote economic development. It's thought it's the first time
:01:03. > :01:08.this national planning policy framework has influenced a planning
:01:08. > :01:18.decision. It could mean hundreds of developments across the region will
:01:18. > :01:22.
:01:22. > :01:27.get the go-ahead. Alex Dunlop is at Great Ryburgh in Norfolk now.
:01:27. > :01:33.The company that owns this massive malting plant in grit) wants to
:01:33. > :01:38.build eight lorry park on a greenfield site. This morning,
:01:38. > :01:42.local councillors voted in favour of the application. And what was a
:01:42. > :01:48.local planning spat has turned into a part of a much wider debate over
:01:48. > :01:55.planning law. For decades, the village of Great)
:01:55. > :02:03.and the malting site has rubbed along quite well. This has just
:02:03. > :02:07.come out of the place. This process is tonnes of barley every year.
:02:07. > :02:12.This is its lorry park, but it is five miles away. The company wants
:02:12. > :02:17.to move it to this field next to the plant, 350 metres from a
:02:17. > :02:21.special conservation area. They say it will mean it less traffic.
:02:21. > :02:26.does not seem very sensible -- sensible for the trucks to leave a
:02:26. > :02:31.site empty, park up five miles away and come back empty in the morning.
:02:32. > :02:36.This is why it there will be a reduction. Opponents say the lorry
:02:36. > :02:40.park will affect wildlife and the quality of laugh for villagers.
:02:40. > :02:48.This is the green light to developers which will see the
:02:48. > :02:51.destruction of much cherished pieces of countryside.
:02:51. > :02:55.legislation surrounding this is the proposed government changed to
:02:55. > :02:58.planning guidance where economic development would have a greater
:02:58. > :03:06.priority. Before voting for a lorry park, councillors attention was
:03:06. > :03:11.drawn to that change in policy, which is still up for debate. Beat
:03:11. > :03:15.the proposed change in planning law have an impact? It was taken into
:03:15. > :03:19.account, brought to the attention of the committee. I do not think it
:03:19. > :03:25.necessarily had a huge sway, if any sway at all. But campaigners like
:03:25. > :03:32.these are who successfully opposed and development of a new town near
:03:32. > :03:36.Cambridge chair and those a posing a new incinerator, it says that
:03:36. > :03:41.developers would have an advantage under the new regime. Planning
:03:41. > :03:46.should be even-handed, not promoting one aspect of developing
:03:46. > :03:53.over and above social and environmental concerns. So Great
:03:53. > :03:55.Ryburgh's malting plants will expand. Opponents say this could be
:03:55. > :04:00.the first developments given the nod over a planning law which does
:04:00. > :04:03.not yet exist. I have since spoken to one of the
:04:03. > :04:06.councillors who voted against the application and she said she was
:04:06. > :04:12.absolutely appalled that this strapless station had been brought
:04:12. > :04:15.before the committee that voted -- that this draft legislation had
:04:15. > :04:20.been brought before the committee. She said one or two of her
:04:20. > :04:23.colleagues may have been swayed. The government said this is a
:04:23. > :04:27.consultation document and should not be used to on planning
:04:27. > :04:31.decisions. The consultation will end in the middle of next month.
:04:31. > :04:34.Earlier I spoke to the Planning Minister Greg Clark. He said the
:04:34. > :04:38.government had made it clear the new policy was still at
:04:38. > :04:42.consultation stage but he denied that it wanted economic development
:04:42. > :04:47.to take priority. There is no change in the purpose of the
:04:47. > :04:51.planning system which has always been, as your viewers know, to make
:04:51. > :04:58.sure that any growth that takes place creating homes and jobs that
:04:58. > :05:02.we need is done at the same time as safeguarding our very precious
:05:02. > :05:05.national and -- natural historical environment. It is taking a way
:05:05. > :05:11.this top-down imposition and trusting local people to do what I
:05:11. > :05:17.know people do if they are given their head and allowed to take
:05:17. > :05:21.decisions in the interest of the community. They will make decisions
:05:21. > :05:24.which is sensitive to the local environment. I do not think the
:05:24. > :05:28.people of great Whitebirk have been feeling their views have been taken
:05:28. > :05:31.into account. They had been overwhelmingly against this new
:05:31. > :05:36.lorry park being built. understand this was a decision
:05:36. > :05:39.taken by the local council. I think it is right that people have
:05:39. > :05:44.elected representatives making these decisions rather than by
:05:44. > :05:47.these unelected regional bodies that have been set up that have no
:05:47. > :05:52.democratic mandate and often do not know the real places which people
:05:52. > :05:57.live. Up the best, a sometimes difficult decisions are made but
:05:57. > :06:02.they should be made by local people. They say local people, but it will
:06:02. > :06:05.be down to the councillors, done -- not the people. It is down to the
:06:05. > :06:09.councils who are elected by local people. We are going further than
:06:09. > :06:14.that, we are giving the right to every neighbourhood, village of a
:06:14. > :06:20.parish or neighbourhood in a town or city, to produce a neighbour had
:06:20. > :06:28.plant which sets out in detail for that neighbourhood, village or part
:06:28. > :06:33.of town how they want their part of town to develop. But organisations
:06:33. > :06:37.are very concerned about these proposals. It is in consultation.
:06:37. > :06:43.Do you expect it to be watered down and changed before it becomes law?
:06:43. > :06:49.I think what we will find when we sit down together is we will
:06:49. > :06:53.discover there is far less between us than first appears. If there are
:06:53. > :06:57.aspects that require a clear explanation, if there are issues
:06:57. > :07:01.that are of concern, I am happy to address them. This is a
:07:01. > :07:05.consultation which is simplifying over 1000 pages of policy that
:07:05. > :07:08.every local council had to be bound by, very difficult for people to be
:07:08. > :07:11.gets to grips with that. We are making it much simpler.
:07:11. > :07:15.The police have released dramatic pictures of a car being driven at
:07:15. > :07:18.high speed on the wrong side of the road before it crashed through a
:07:18. > :07:25.hedge and burst into flames. Some of the people inside would probably
:07:25. > :07:31.have died if it wasn't for the bravery of two police officers.
:07:31. > :07:39.This is the moment a 16 year-old driver loses control of his car,
:07:39. > :07:43.smashing into a field at 90 miles per hour. His girlfriend and three
:07:43. > :07:48.teenage passengers are now moments away from death. The car catches
:07:48. > :07:53.fire. Today, the two officers who saved their lives returned to the
:07:53. > :07:57.scene to recall what happened. we came up to the junction, the
:07:57. > :08:01.vehicle has come straight across the junction. We don't know what's
:08:01. > :08:05.happened. It has gone straight into the field and we have only seen the
:08:05. > :08:10.lights go into the air, so we know it had flipped. The engine bay was
:08:10. > :08:15.on fire. The pursuit began in Histon in Cambridgeshire. It came
:08:15. > :08:20.to a dramatic end at the Needingworth bypass. Straightaway
:08:20. > :08:24.we could tell that we people were trapped. The colt was on fire and
:08:24. > :08:29.they needed help. Unfortunately we were there to hold them. We could
:08:29. > :08:33.not stand by and let them perish. The driver is the first out and
:08:33. > :08:36.attempts to escape, leaving his girlfriend and passengers in the
:08:36. > :08:42.burning vehicle. It is now with the fire spreading through the car and
:08:42. > :08:46.about to explode at any moment that PC Draper risks his life to free
:08:46. > :08:49.the trapped passengers. Both officers have now been awarded for
:08:49. > :08:54.the determination and courage they showed that night. I feel very
:08:54. > :08:57.proud, very pleased. It is an honour to get that sort of award
:08:57. > :09:02.from senior management, peers and colleagues. It is nice to be
:09:02. > :09:07.recognised for an hour actions on evening. I feel very proud of what
:09:07. > :09:10.we have done that evening. driver was sentenced to 12 months
:09:10. > :09:13.in prison. Although that did not stop him from telling his
:09:13. > :09:18.girlfriend but it was him that tracked her unconscious from the
:09:18. > :09:21.wreckage. Coming up later in the programme,
:09:21. > :09:30.our rugby players ready to take centre stage at the World Cup.
:09:30. > :09:34.And former Paralympian Danny Crates is in Trafalgar Square. By the time
:09:34. > :09:38.I had finished speaking, London will be 10 seconds closer to
:09:38. > :09:45.hosting the Paralympic Games. We will be bringing you all the action
:09:45. > :09:48.from Trafalgar Square. That is of Students who made it through the
:09:48. > :09:51.scramble of clearing and won a place at university are facing a
:09:51. > :09:54.new challenge tonight, finding somewhere to live. Anglia Ruskin
:09:54. > :10:04.University in Cambridge says its rooms are full and students may
:10:04. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:09.have to defer their place for a year. Mike Cartwright reports.
:10:09. > :10:13.This man has a place at university, but he has not got a place to live.
:10:13. > :10:17.He has been looking for weeks. Always told this. Unfortunately we
:10:17. > :10:21.have not got anything at the moment. I can take your details and case
:10:21. > :10:26.something comes up and we can give you a call. He starts here next
:10:26. > :10:29.week. It has been a nightmare. If you really wants to have a good
:10:29. > :10:35.chance of getting anything, you have to be in Cambridge every
:10:35. > :10:39.single day. Going to agencies, calling people up, using the house-
:10:39. > :10:43.hunting teams. This former nursing home was going to be sold. Now the
:10:43. > :10:49.landlord is having it refurbished for 27 students. Most move into
:10:49. > :10:53.their rooms on Saturday. The estate agent says hundreds of students
:10:53. > :10:58.contacted have. In my experience, I have never seen it like this before,
:10:58. > :11:03.people are not finding anywhere. Some landlords are having bidding
:11:03. > :11:08.wars on their homes, and students are paying well over the odds.
:11:08. > :11:12.of the students affected came through Clearing, late arrivals. On
:11:12. > :11:17.their website, the university is asking them to be flexible and look
:11:17. > :11:27.up to an hour away from the City. This happened last year, why has it
:11:27. > :11:33.
:11:33. > :11:39.happened again? The university told Applications here are a 9% this
:11:39. > :11:43.year to almost 17,000. One option for students, the university says,
:11:43. > :11:46.is to differ, but fees next year are rising. The other option is
:11:46. > :11:49.stay and keep looking for somewhere to live.
:11:49. > :11:59.If you're a student struggling to find accommodation, or if you have
:11:59. > :12:02.
:12:02. > :12:06.another story to tell, we'd love to Officials say worries over the
:12:06. > :12:08.health of one of the travellers at the Dale Farm site in Essex won't
:12:09. > :12:14.delay the planned eviction. Supporters of 72-year-old Mary
:12:14. > :12:17.Flynn argued that she's severely ill. But after taking a fresh look
:12:17. > :12:25.at her case the council confirmed today she'll be part of the
:12:25. > :12:29.clearance as planned. In the past few weeks, Mary Flynn
:12:29. > :12:32.has become a key figure in the battle over Dale Farm. When the
:12:32. > :12:35.Court of Appeal ruled that the clearance of 60 pitches there which
:12:35. > :12:39.did not have planning permission could go ahead, Basildon council
:12:40. > :12:44.agreed it would take seven days studying fresh evidence about her
:12:44. > :12:50.condition which includes breathing problems and needed to use a
:12:50. > :12:53.nebuliser. But today, without seven days of, the council said it had
:12:54. > :12:59.offered fresh accommodation and gave its response. It is actually
:13:00. > :13:04.in her interests not to be on site when the clearing happens. All of
:13:04. > :13:07.her needs can and will be addressed if she takes up the offer.
:13:07. > :13:11.eviction is planned to start his 11 days, the council says it has been
:13:11. > :13:16.left with little choice after 10 years of wrangling over a site
:13:16. > :13:20.which critics say has blighted the area. Yesterday the Prime Minister
:13:20. > :13:25.backed the clearance says it is a basic issue of fairness. We are not
:13:25. > :13:30.taking houses from homeless people. They are entitled to have them. We
:13:30. > :13:33.are asking for a piece of ground not bricks-and-mortar. Today some
:13:34. > :13:37.of the travellers staged a fresh protest. They say the eviction will
:13:37. > :13:40.leave them go no way to go and claimed it would be unfair for them
:13:40. > :13:45.to take council accommodation when there are others already in the
:13:45. > :13:49.queue. We are asking the council for a piece of ground, lots -- not
:13:49. > :13:56.a house. There are people waiting and it is unfair if we take the
:13:56. > :14:01.houses in front of them. They will see that we are not to take
:14:01. > :14:06.anything away from them, we do not even once taxpayer money.
:14:06. > :14:09.council says date have made offers of accommodation, but they say they
:14:09. > :14:13.want to remain true to their community and remain where they are.
:14:13. > :14:16.The BBC understands that Southend Pier could be closed for up to two
:14:16. > :14:19.weeks after being hit by a barge. The westerly side of the pier was
:14:19. > :14:24.damaged on Monday. The barge was being used for fire protection work
:14:24. > :14:26.when high winds blew it into the pier.
:14:26. > :14:29.In football, Colchester United are looking to strengthen their squad
:14:29. > :14:32.with the transfer window for loan signings now open. The U's have
:14:33. > :14:36.made an indifferent start to the season in League One. A 1-1 draw
:14:36. > :14:45.with Scunthorpe on Saturday left them 13th in the table, and in need
:14:45. > :14:49.of reinforcements. I have put a couple of phone calls
:14:49. > :14:51.in, I am not the only one ringing up about the same players. It is
:14:51. > :14:56.just a question to see if other clubs will release their players
:14:56. > :15:00.and we can get them in. We would like to strengthen the squad if we
:15:00. > :15:03.can, that has been a best kept secret for a long time!
:15:03. > :15:06.A marine engineer has been given an award for bravery for saving the
:15:06. > :15:09.life of a pensioner. 72-year-old Patricia Scott was rescued by John
:15:09. > :15:17.Cressey after she fell into the Broads during a holiday at Acle in
:15:17. > :15:21.Norfolk. Yarmouth coastguard, over! John
:15:21. > :15:24.Cressey has been on the brought all his life. He is contracted by the
:15:24. > :15:29.boat hire companies to help out holidaymakers to get into
:15:29. > :15:36.difficulty. She was very lucky. The water was cold, it was a lot
:15:36. > :15:39.windier than today. In July last year, he was working when 72 year-
:15:39. > :15:43.old Patricia Scott, and none swimmer, fell into the water. She
:15:43. > :15:51.was moments away from being crushed by her own bread when John Paul had
:15:51. > :15:55.to safety. A boat will have landed on this side and crushed her
:15:55. > :16:02.against the pier. She was quite frail, 72 years old. She might not
:16:02. > :16:05.have been here. You are one of the unsung heroes of the Broads. Today
:16:05. > :16:10.the chief executive of the Broads Authority handed over her bravery
:16:10. > :16:17.award from the Royal Humane Society. Between you and me, I have probably
:16:17. > :16:23.saved 18 people, this was the 19th person in 40 years. And I have
:16:23. > :16:27.never had any recognition before. But I think it is good for me, now,
:16:27. > :16:33.and the Broads, to get a bit of recognition thought the work I have
:16:34. > :16:43.done. John Cressey is a modest but very remarkable man. Once unsung,
:16:44. > :16:52.
:16:52. > :16:55.You are watching Look East. Coming up, Owl wants to watch in the Rugby
:16:55. > :16:59.World Cup. The new political year is just
:16:59. > :17:03.starting and that means one thing. The party conference season is upon
:17:03. > :17:05.us. Over the next month politicians and activists from all the main
:17:05. > :17:09.parties will come together to celebrate, or commiserate, and
:17:09. > :17:12.debate future policies. Tonight members of the UK Independence
:17:13. > :17:22.Party are gathering in Eastbourne and many from this region are in
:17:22. > :17:26.high spirits. If you ask UKIP if they are doing
:17:26. > :17:32.well, they will send you here, to Ramsay in temperature. Earlier this
:17:32. > :17:35.year, this became the first council in the country to be run by UKIP.
:17:35. > :17:40.There is always talk about big breakthroughs, but it is small
:17:40. > :17:44.steps, and we are making impact. We took over a local council, running
:17:44. > :17:48.it, and it is breaking into local elections and the district
:17:48. > :17:52.elections. That is when we will get our break through into Westminster.
:17:52. > :17:56.Once dismissed by the Prime Minister as a bunch of fruitcakes,
:17:56. > :18:00.UKIP refuses to go away. A large proportion of its support comes
:18:00. > :18:05.from this region, but only in European elections. Despite its
:18:05. > :18:09.efforts in the local elections, it still only has three district
:18:09. > :18:14.councillors across the East. It is easy to belittle us in that way,
:18:14. > :18:18.but our vote went up considerable at council election time. It takes
:18:18. > :18:21.time to come to a tipping point when you win a seat. We did well
:18:21. > :18:26.enough for us to become quite confident and enthusiastic about
:18:26. > :18:31.being better next time. You have to follow the rules of the country or
:18:31. > :18:36.don't be here. So seriously is the company -- party taking the next
:18:36. > :18:40.election, he is already interviewing potential candidate.
:18:40. > :18:46.UKIP is continuing to grow in popularity. At Essex University,
:18:46. > :18:50.they close the monitor -- voting habits. They are picking up
:18:50. > :18:55.disaffected Conservatives. Another development which is interesting is
:18:55. > :19:02.that people now are becoming significantly more against British
:19:02. > :19:09.membership of the European Union. That is why the Party is gathering
:19:09. > :19:12.in optimistic mood. They are only proven -- polling at 6%, they have
:19:12. > :19:16.no council seat and one of their MPs has defected to the
:19:16. > :19:22.Conservatives but UKIP believes it speaks for money and it's time will
:19:22. > :19:26.come. -- it speaks for many and it's time will come.
:19:26. > :19:28.Ten players from our region are taking part in the Rugby World Cup
:19:28. > :19:30.which starts tomorrow. Northampton Saints have eight players in the
:19:30. > :19:33.tournament, including Soane Tonga'uiha. He plays for Tonga, and
:19:33. > :19:39.tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock our time, they play the favourites New
:19:39. > :19:47.Zealand. He is the Tonga and beefcake who at
:19:47. > :19:51.20 stone has brutalised D best packs indeed Premiership. As Iraq,
:19:51. > :19:56.man map -- as a result, Soane Tonga'uiha it is loved by the
:19:56. > :20:02.Saints fans. I am quite scared because I do not know half the team,
:20:02. > :20:08.have not been back for four years. I have not been speaking the
:20:08. > :20:12.language to my mother! Do you miss it much? When you go back, is it
:20:12. > :20:16.like old times? There is a few moments when we have got down time
:20:16. > :20:22.when I look back and I think about the years ago when I was there, and
:20:22. > :20:27.he would have thought when I would be now. I am glad I am out of there,
:20:27. > :20:30.I am fortunate to be where I am now. Aged eight, Soane Tonga'uiha move
:20:30. > :20:37.to what he thought would be a brighter time in New Zealand. But
:20:37. > :20:42.for him, it has anything back -- it was anything but. It was really
:20:42. > :20:47.tough. Some moment I thought, what am I doing here? I hated my mum for
:20:47. > :20:51.taking me over there and leaving my friends in Tonga. When you think
:20:51. > :20:57.back but you are grateful for what they have done, you feel that you
:20:57. > :21:02.should pay your mother back. Eight years on, Soane Tonga'uiha is back
:21:02. > :21:09.in New Zealand, one of the most feared forwards in the modern game.
:21:09. > :21:13.Tonga has made quite an impression. Went he stands on the touchline
:21:13. > :21:16.tomorrow, Soane Tonga'uiha will be fighting back the tears.
:21:16. > :21:21.Preparations will go out of the window, emotions will be running
:21:21. > :21:26.riot. It is not going to be easy to stop the tears coming down but I
:21:26. > :21:34.think it will be an emotional moment, I'll quite to come forward
:21:34. > :21:37.to it. -- I am quite looking forward to it.
:21:37. > :21:40.Time now for our weekly report rounding up the stories affecting
:21:40. > :21:42.this region for London 2012. Athletes from our region were
:21:42. > :21:45.taking part in International Paralympic Day. The event in
:21:45. > :21:48.Trafalgar Square showcases the 20 sports on offer and comes a day
:21:48. > :21:57.before tickets go on sale. We sent former gold medallist Danny Crates
:21:57. > :22:00.along. Just over six and a half years ago,
:22:00. > :22:03.I was on stage hit in Trafalgar Square when the announcement was
:22:03. > :22:09.made that London would have the honour of hosting the Olympic and
:22:09. > :22:17.Paralympic Games. We are back here today when the Paralympics has his
:22:17. > :22:22.chance to showcase what it really has to offer. What are you hoping
:22:22. > :22:26.this will achieve today? I had two things out of today. One, people
:22:26. > :22:30.have a great day enjoying a different sport on show, it is
:22:30. > :22:36.fantastic. I also hope it brings home to people that the games are
:22:36. > :22:41.very near now. Ellie Simmons is one of the biggest names in Paralympic
:22:41. > :22:46.sport, I must have signature for any Olympic autograph hunter.
:22:46. > :22:52.Having now at home, it is exciting, hopefully will have a massive crowd.
:22:52. > :22:58.Hoping to emulate her success from Beijing is a volleyball player.
:22:58. > :23:05.Butterflies in my stomach, that is my feeling. We are boosting our
:23:05. > :23:09.training, it is hectic. The main feeling is excited, everyone wants
:23:09. > :23:13.to be there, on the starting line, walking out and having a home crowd
:23:13. > :23:15.cheering pulled a up today's event at Trafalgar Square is a great
:23:15. > :23:22.opportunity for lesser-known sports like golf ball to showcase what
:23:22. > :23:25.they have to offer. It is one day before the tickets go on sale.
:23:25. > :23:31.get Paralympic sports. You guys in in large part have been responsible
:23:31. > :23:35.for that. People like Tanni Grey Thompson are household names. She
:23:35. > :23:39.has transcended all sport. A lot of big changes in Paralympic sport had
:23:39. > :23:44.been driven by people in this country. I think we stand a better
:23:44. > :23:47.chance than most of filling those venues. I get people stopping me in
:23:47. > :23:53.the streets saying, I'm going to get Paralympic to Bix. That is
:23:53. > :23:56.great! It is an amazing place to be. We invented the Games, we are
:23:56. > :24:01.pretty good at it, and we are going to have something special to show
:24:01. > :24:03.the world. Hundreds of thousands of people missed out on her Olympic
:24:03. > :24:12.tickets so organisers will be hoping that tomorrow's launch will
:24:12. > :24:18.prove just as popular. It was cold this morning, wasn't
:24:18. > :24:23.It was really chilly when I took my daughter to school.
:24:23. > :24:32.Am I getting the blame again? Es! It will not bitter, it was not
:24:32. > :24:36.The temperature is in at the moment higher than it has been all day,
:24:36. > :24:41.this area of low pressure is bringing in warm air from the south.
:24:41. > :24:47.We started today with a lot of cloud right across the region, but
:24:47. > :24:51.if I animate the chant from One and PM, it started to thin and break.
:24:51. > :24:56.Many parts of the region enjoying a fine end to the day, sunny spells,
:24:56. > :25:00.really starting to feel quite warm for this time of year. The second
:25:00. > :25:04.half of the night, we will start to get a bit more cloud developing and
:25:04. > :25:08.we will see some rain are pushing up from the South overnight. Darker
:25:08. > :25:17.colours around Chelmsford, there might be the odd heavy a burst.
:25:17. > :25:24.Most of their rain is expected to be light and patchy. It will be
:25:24. > :25:30.warm tonight, average for this time of year is 10 or 11. Into tomorrow,
:25:30. > :25:35.the warm front that brings in this warmer air moves well away. More
:25:35. > :25:39.warm air coming up on the south. A fine day expected. An area of low
:25:39. > :25:43.pressure expected ready to change that for the weekend, but I will
:25:43. > :25:47.come onto that shortly. Tomorrow, you will notice that it feels warm
:25:47. > :25:53.and pleasant with sunny spells developing. It will start Caddick,
:25:54. > :25:57.patchy rain to clear first thing, but it will thin and break,
:25:57. > :26:04.allowing sunshine to break through. It is going to be very warm
:26:04. > :26:09.tomorrow. The wind speed will pick up a little bit and we will end up
:26:09. > :26:15.with a moderate south-westerly. With slightly unstable air, in the
:26:15. > :26:19.west of the region we could get the odd isolated shower. Most places
:26:19. > :26:23.staying dry, turning clouded what the end of the day. This is the
:26:23. > :26:31.pressure Chard for the weekend. An area of low pressure, a cold front
:26:31. > :26:35.spins through on Saturday. Another weather front from the south will
:26:35. > :26:41.bring wet and windy weather. The isobars are tightly packed,
:26:41. > :26:44.indicating fairly strong winds. Warm and sunny tomorrow, make the
:26:44. > :26:54.most of it because as we get into the weekend we see the wind speed
:26:54. > :26:59.picking up, breezy conditions. The temperature will fall, but not
:26:59. > :27:03.dramatically. Fairly cloudy conditions on Sunday, outbreaks of
