:00:06. > :00:09.Hello, and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight. An hour-and-

:00:09. > :00:13.three-quarters wait for an ambulance for a pensioner who had

:00:13. > :00:17.laid helpless on the floor for nearly a day. I think it's

:00:17. > :00:20.appalling. There is obviously a big propblem somewhere in the system.

:00:20. > :00:25.The fight against metal thieves. Politicians, police and business

:00:25. > :00:28.leaders come here to plot the next moves.

:00:29. > :00:38.A flu jab warning for expectant mothers.

:00:39. > :00:47.

:00:47. > :00:50.And how do you keep an airport open First tonight. The pensioner who

:00:50. > :00:55.fell and lay undiscovered on her bathroom floor for 21 hours and

:00:55. > :00:59.then had to wait an hour and three quarters for an ambulance. Irene

:00:59. > :01:04.Edwards is 86 and lives just across the road from the Princess

:01:04. > :01:08.Alexandra Hospital in Harlow. Her family, and her local MP, want to

:01:08. > :01:12.know why it took so long for the ambulance to arrive. This report

:01:12. > :01:16.from Gareth George. Irene Edwards in happier times,

:01:16. > :01:26.cradling a new-born great grandchild. She's now in hospital,

:01:26. > :01:30.after collapsing at home. Her head was in the bathroom but her legs

:01:30. > :01:33.were long here, flat on her back. She lay undiscovered at home for 21

:01:33. > :01:40.hours. It's only because she collapsed near this radiator that

:01:40. > :01:45.she's still alive. I covered her up with blankets and things to get a

:01:45. > :01:51.warm and sat and reassured her and said the ambulance will be here any

:01:51. > :01:55.minute. How long did it take? hour and three-quarters.

:01:55. > :02:03.Edwards lives in that row of houses, just a couple of hundred yards from

:02:03. > :02:07.the Princess Alexandra Hospital. You can see the hospital from her

:02:07. > :02:11.bedroom window. The ambulance station is just up the road as well.

:02:11. > :02:14.A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said: We would be

:02:14. > :02:18.more than happy to discuss any concerns the patient and her family

:02:18. > :02:21.may have regarding our response to their call on Monday. We hope she

:02:21. > :02:24.is recovering well in hospital. What happened to Mrs Edwards has,

:02:24. > :02:28.once again, put ambulance response times under the spotlight. 95% of

:02:28. > :02:32.ambulances should get to a casualty within 19 minutes. In the East of

:02:32. > :02:35.England, 93.7% make it, slightly under. Also, NHS guidelines say it

:02:35. > :02:39.should take no more than 15 minutes to transfer a patient from an

:02:39. > :02:42.ambulance into hospital. But Mrs Edward's family were told the

:02:43. > :02:49.ambulance that finally reached her had been stuck in a queue outside

:02:49. > :02:52.A&E, waiting to drop off a previous patient. Other stories of

:02:52. > :02:58.apparently slow responses Look East has highlighted recently include

:02:58. > :03:06.that of Riley Murray. His mother had to wait nearly two hours for an

:03:06. > :03:10.ambulance when she needed an emergency caesarean. Back in Harlow,

:03:10. > :03:15.Sue Edwards still has text messages sent by her daughter while there

:03:15. > :03:19.are waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I think it is appalling.

:03:19. > :03:27.There is obviously a problem somewhere in the system.

:03:27. > :03:31.mother-in-law is expected to say in hospital for several more days. We

:03:31. > :03:34.heard about that story because the Edwards family got in touch to tell

:03:35. > :03:37.us. We always want to hear your stories. You can phone, email or

:03:37. > :03:40.contact us through Facebook. The police, politicians and

:03:41. > :03:44.business leaders came to this region today to plot the next moves

:03:44. > :03:48.in the fight against metal thieves. The soaring price of scrap metal

:03:48. > :03:51.has led to a surge in crime and it's something that affects all of

:03:52. > :03:56.us, in our homes and communities, businesses, and when we try to

:03:56. > :03:59.travel to work. Let's look at the trains. Since April last year,

:03:59. > :04:03.there have been 98 incidents of cable theft on the railways in the

:04:03. > :04:06.Anglia region. 3,500 services have been affected. It doesn't stop

:04:06. > :04:11.there. Underground phone cables, lead from rooves and even drain

:04:11. > :04:15.covers are routinely stolen. Jozef Hall spent last night with Network

:04:15. > :04:20.Rail, patrolling the railways for cable thieves.

:04:20. > :04:24.One way or another, metal thefts affect nearly everyone. From rail

:04:24. > :04:33.operators, to telecoms - farms to memorials. The war against the

:04:33. > :04:39.theives is gaining momentum. have just received a call from

:04:39. > :04:43.control to say the camera has shown an activation. It is a site where

:04:43. > :04:46.we have had recent cable fare. early hours of this morning with

:04:46. > :04:49.Network Rail - patrolling known hotspots between London and

:04:49. > :04:59.Cambridge. Using night vision technology, and liasing with

:04:59. > :04:59.

:04:59. > :05:06.British Transport Police, not much gets past them. Electric cable. It

:05:06. > :05:12.has been painted out. People are nicking cable and putting their

:05:12. > :05:18.lives at risk and begin delays in tour services. Have you seen a

:05:18. > :05:23.difference in the land that the fees will go to? Yes, we had a

:05:23. > :05:26.death not so long ago. I do not think they understand and they need

:05:26. > :05:30.to understand that going on the railway they are going to get

:05:30. > :05:33.killed. Stripping the Heart Out of Britain - today police chiefs,

:05:33. > :05:40.ministers and security experts debated the issue in Kettering. At

:05:40. > :05:44.the top of the agenda - banning cash payments for scrap. We want to

:05:44. > :05:48.get cash out of the system and bring improper traceability and

:05:48. > :05:52.make sure payments are made by some means so there we can know how the

:05:53. > :05:55.payments are made. Limiting thefts like this. Andy Johnson was forced

:05:55. > :06:03.to invest in CCTV when his crocodile farm's 16-foot bronze

:06:03. > :06:08.mascot was stolen. They brought a truck into the car-park, loaded it

:06:09. > :06:12.up and work on. I wish I could have chucked them in but the real ones!

:06:12. > :06:15.At around ten pounds a metre, British Telecom protect their cable

:06:15. > :06:21.with an invisible marker dye called smartwater. The mayor of Ely has

:06:21. > :06:26.followed their lead to protect the City's bronze memorial plaques.

:06:26. > :06:30.is a shame that we have this sort of culture where people will take

:06:30. > :06:33.things irrespective of what the meaning is, but what else do we do?

:06:33. > :06:36.At today's major conference in Kettering, representatives of the

:06:36. > :06:46.scrap metal industry say plans to outlaw cash payments for scrap

:06:46. > :06:50.

:06:50. > :06:57.could drive the illegal trade in stolen metal further underground.

:06:57. > :07:00.Thomas Cook has reported pre- tax losses of �350 million. The company

:07:00. > :07:07.got into financial difficulties last year but to date they said

:07:07. > :07:11.they were encouraged by summer bookings. You have to bear in mind

:07:11. > :07:15.that tour operators nominate losses at this time of year in the winter,

:07:15. > :07:19.because they have spent money to get hotel space but they have not

:07:19. > :07:24.yet got money back from punters to pay for it. We also know the

:07:24. > :07:29.company did not have a good joke last year. Home of their bookings

:07:29. > :07:34.doing now? They say they are encouraged. They are not doing too

:07:34. > :07:40.badly. Their summer bookings were down by 1% on last year, which was

:07:40. > :07:44.better than some competitors. Their share of the market is stable. They

:07:44. > :07:49.are finding there is less demand for package holidays but more

:07:49. > :07:53.demand for more expensive, specialist and upmarket breaks.

:07:53. > :07:57.Most people looking at the results today seem to think the company is

:07:57. > :08:02.moving gradually in the right direction. They just lost their way

:08:02. > :08:07.last year. Since the last chief- executive left, the new management

:08:07. > :08:11.team, I think they know what they are doing. It is worth saying that

:08:11. > :08:17.if you did buy a holiday with Thomas Cook, or you are planning to,

:08:17. > :08:22.your money is financially protected. Everybody is trying to be quite a

:08:22. > :08:27.be but they are closing shops. they are closing 200 shops, but in

:08:27. > :08:32.a way that is part of their turnaround plan. They are trying to

:08:32. > :08:35.reduce their costs. They are trying to reshape their business. They are

:08:35. > :08:41.not out of the wood yet, they have a lot of hard work to go but they

:08:41. > :08:44.are moving in the right direction. Still to come on Look East. Phil's

:08:44. > :08:51.here with the prospect of another night of freezing temperatures. And

:08:51. > :08:55.some thrifty tips to cut your supermarket bills.

:08:55. > :09:04.This is an G and she has slashed her household budget by more than

:09:04. > :09:08.half. And the family is not going without.

:09:08. > :09:14.The NHS in Essex says people are putting their lives at risk by not

:09:14. > :09:17.having a flu jab. Fewer than 25% of pregnant woman and nearly half of

:09:17. > :09:27.people under 65 with a medical condition have taken up the free

:09:27. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:36.jab this winter. This is the Primary Care Centre in

:09:36. > :09:42.Colchester. As the Met Office issues its cold weather alert, the

:09:42. > :09:47.NHS in north Essex is issuing a health warning. Because less people

:09:47. > :09:51.have come forward, especially the under 65 at risk and pregnant women,

:09:51. > :09:54.we urge them to come for because of a flu outbreak happens with the

:09:54. > :09:59.serious spell of cold weather then there is the possibility that more

:10:00. > :10:04.people can get the infection and get serious complications. The NHS

:10:04. > :10:08.estimates that across the country 8000 more elderly people will die

:10:08. > :10:13.every time the temperature drops one degree below average. One

:10:13. > :10:18.preventative measure is to have the seasonal flu jab. It seems in this

:10:18. > :10:26.region that those over 65 are heeding the advice. By 20th

:10:26. > :10:31.December 11, 73% had had the vaccination. Only 40 so % of those

:10:31. > :10:36.under 65 with a medical condition had taken up the offer. Just 23% of

:10:37. > :10:42.pregnant women have decided to have the jab. This season's flu viruses

:10:42. > :10:46.are said to include a strain of particular risk to them. I do not

:10:46. > :10:49.agree with having deftly to have, I didn't think it is right for

:10:49. > :10:53.pregnant women. I was not willing to take the risk with the different

:10:53. > :10:57.strains of flu that there are. have never had a reaction so I'm

:10:57. > :11:02.more than happy to have a flu jab this time. The advice is that if

:11:02. > :11:06.you want the vaccine get it now before it is too late.

:11:06. > :11:10.Police are searching for a man who held up a bank in Norwich city

:11:10. > :11:14.centre. Officers were called to the Co-operative bank on London Street

:11:14. > :11:18.just after midday. A man in his early 20s wearing a grey hoodie

:11:18. > :11:25.told staff he had a gun. He made off with a quantity of cash in a

:11:25. > :11:29.carrier bag. A prisoner who escaped from guards

:11:29. > :11:32.has appeared again in court in Scotland. He was recaptured two

:11:32. > :11:36.days after an armed man helped him escape from the West Suffolk

:11:36. > :11:39.Hospital. He appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court and was remanded in

:11:39. > :11:43.custody. Investigations are continuing after an apparent hammer

:11:43. > :11:46.attack in Suffolk. The police were called to a nature reserve near

:11:46. > :11:49.Oaks Close in Bury St Edmunds yesterday afternoon. A 40-year-old

:11:49. > :11:57.man was taken to Addenbrookes hospital with head injuries. No-

:11:57. > :12:01.one's been arrested. Now it's time to meet a very young

:12:01. > :12:04.girl who has been called the snow baby. She was delivered a few yards

:12:04. > :12:12.from the family home in Norwich. Her parents were just leaving for

:12:12. > :12:17.the hospital when she decided her time had come. Just two days old,

:12:17. > :12:21.this is Nina, sleeping throat a visit. When her mother gave birth

:12:21. > :12:24.to her sister three years ago, nothing happened very quickly, but

:12:24. > :12:30.when Nina wanted to make her entrance, she did not hang about.

:12:30. > :12:35.After calling the hospital, her parents got no further than the

:12:35. > :12:38.snow-covered yard outside their home. Under the archway, Marek

:12:38. > :12:45.delivered his second daughter, talk through by an ambulance call

:12:45. > :12:52.handler. We could not go back home, we could not go to the car, we had

:12:52. > :12:59.to stay there because the contractions were really pick.

:12:59. > :13:08.After a couple of minutes, it was over. I wanted to be in hospital or

:13:09. > :13:16.somewhere near. I was quite screaming a lot, Seng, where am I?

:13:16. > :13:24.I am here and not even in the car on the way to hospital. And he was

:13:24. > :13:32.very good. Yes, very calm also. And just heard the man through the

:13:32. > :13:39.phone and just did what he said. Next time, says Marek, they will

:13:39. > :13:43.stay home. He knows what to do now. A teenage anti-knife campaigner has

:13:44. > :13:47.helped produce a film. The online film is part of the "Bin A Blade"

:13:48. > :13:51.campaign run by BBC Radio Suffolk and the local police. It will be

:13:51. > :13:54.used in schools and community centres and aims to show knife

:13:54. > :14:04.crime is not a game. 17-year-old Holly Watson started the campaign

:14:04. > :14:04.

:14:04. > :14:09.after her brother Lewis was stabbed to death in Sudbury in 2009.

:14:09. > :14:12.In just over a month's time many of us will be running a mile to raise

:14:12. > :14:15.money for Sport Relief. In 2010, people in this region raised nearly

:14:15. > :14:19.�2 million. In Essex, the Paralympic champion Danny Crates

:14:19. > :14:22.has been back to his old primary school to get the children fired up

:14:22. > :14:25.for the big day. A hero's welcome as a Paralympic

:14:25. > :14:28.gold medallist and former pupil takes centre stage here at Giffards

:14:28. > :14:36.Primary. But Danny Crates isn't here to talk about his own

:14:36. > :14:41.successses. Today he's generating support for Sport Relief. It all

:14:41. > :14:45.kicks off on Friday 23rd March and I know that this school has done a

:14:45. > :14:50.lot of good work two years ago in the last sport Relief and they

:14:50. > :14:54.raised over �650. We are going to try and get people excited and get

:14:54. > :14:58.them to raise even more money this time around. Danny won the 800

:14:58. > :15:04.metre gold at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. For pupils at his former

:15:04. > :15:10.school that makes him quite some role model. It is not every day

:15:10. > :15:17.that you get a famous person coming to your school. We are very excited

:15:17. > :15:20.because I cannot wait to run the mile and he inspires me.

:15:20. > :15:26.children really do engage with Danny and he has been able to

:15:26. > :15:34.motivate them with his stories of his own challenges and his

:15:34. > :15:37.successes, but in this case, to be able to welcome him back for Sport

:15:37. > :15:41.Relief so that the children understand what they are doing and

:15:41. > :15:44.why. The visit ends with an impromptu run. There will be Sport

:15:44. > :15:52.Relief Miles taking place across the East on Sunday 25th March. Full

:15:52. > :15:56.details are on the website. You're watching Look East from the

:15:56. > :16:05.BBC. Coming up: the duchess, the filmstar, and some cutting edge

:16:05. > :16:10.Inflation, rising unemployment, higher food and fuel bills -

:16:10. > :16:15.there's huge pressure on household budgets at the moment. Many of us

:16:15. > :16:18.are having to take a long, hard look at where our money is going.

:16:18. > :16:21.And some, like Angie Knight, who lives just outside Ipswich, have

:16:21. > :16:29.amazed themselves by how much they can save on their supermarket

:16:29. > :16:34.shopping. She got in touch to tell us, so we went to see her.

:16:34. > :16:40.Breakfast time at the Knights. As well as Mum and Dad, there are

:16:40. > :16:47.Jamie, Lucy and Daisy to feed too. Like many, money's tight. But when

:16:47. > :16:50.the family income fell recently drastic action was needed. We had

:16:50. > :16:54.to at the car serviced and I thought where am I going to get the

:16:54. > :17:00.money from. The money I was spending on chopping worked out at

:17:00. > :17:06.�600 a month and I thought this has stayed stop. I decided to set

:17:06. > :17:10.myself a budget of �60 to �70 and stick to it. And she has. Eggs now

:17:10. > :17:20.come from a farm shop, �2 for 30. As for top brands, you won't spot

:17:20. > :17:27.

:17:27. > :17:31.many here. This will do two-and-a- half meals. They will do tonight's

:17:31. > :17:34.spaghetti bowl like days and then there will be a sunnier for

:17:34. > :17:39.tomorrow and a portion left over. Instead of three trips to the

:17:39. > :17:42.supermarket a week, now there's just one. Angie's rules - only buy

:17:42. > :17:50.what's on your list, ignore two- for-one offers. And take your

:17:50. > :17:55.budget with you in cash so you have to stick to it. Once you know where

:17:55. > :17:59.everything is you can just come in and buy it. I don't get distracted,

:17:59. > :18:04.either could buy list and just go for those. This lot, just part of

:18:04. > :18:07.her weekly shop, came to �35. Angie is three weeks into her new regime.

:18:07. > :18:16.Her bargain basement approach may not be to everyone's taste. But she

:18:16. > :18:20.says it's proof that if you're nifty, you can be thrifty.

:18:20. > :18:23.In the kind of weather we have right now, the gritters are out

:18:23. > :18:27.every day covering hundreds of miles of the region's roads. In our

:18:27. > :18:30.airports it's just as important to make sure there is no ice on the

:18:31. > :18:40.runways and where the planes taxi. Mike Liggins has been to our

:18:41. > :18:41.

:18:41. > :18:47.busiest airport, Stansted, to find out how it's done. He's there now.

:18:47. > :18:54.It is about minus to here tonight but with the of wind chill it feels

:18:54. > :18:58.considerably colder. Ayr side here at Stansted there is about the

:18:58. > :19:03.equivalent of 12 miles of hard standing, a rum way which is just

:19:03. > :19:11.short of two miles, and did all these to be kept clear of snow and

:19:11. > :19:15.ice. This is how they do it. Eight Ryanair flight from Poland

:19:16. > :19:20.landing at snowy Stansted this afternoon. The snow is not a

:19:20. > :19:27.problem now but the freezing temperatures and ice Park. Which is

:19:27. > :19:32.why the airport has two new d I says, costing 200 to �2,000 each

:19:32. > :19:38.such. They have extending arms which put potassium acetate on the

:19:38. > :19:44.tarmac. It is effective down to minus 20. What would happen if you

:19:44. > :19:48.did not do this? It is not worth thinking about. If you did not do

:19:48. > :19:52.it and the runway froze, the worst scenario is that the plane would

:19:52. > :19:56.skid off the runway and that is not what we're here for. They cannot

:19:56. > :20:02.use salt because it is too corrosive and pricked would clock

:20:03. > :20:07.aircraft engines. Temperature gauges set into the runways and

:20:07. > :20:13.taxi areas and specialised for Castel the operations team went to

:20:13. > :20:18.go out. Today there will be just over 300 take-off and landing seer

:20:18. > :20:25.at Stansted. It the airport was not to stay open there would be a lot

:20:25. > :20:30.of disappointed passengers. On Saturday night, they had 17

:20:30. > :20:40.centimetres of snow at Stansted up the new, revised snow plan worked

:20:40. > :20:42.

:20:42. > :20:45.well. We closed initially around 10pm and opened again at around

:20:45. > :20:51.midnight for three-quarters of a gnat and then we opened early in

:20:51. > :20:58.the morning. We have a new state of the art snow ploughed which at one

:20:58. > :21:05.stage was cutting through snow about a metre and a half deep.

:21:05. > :21:10.afternoon, a cargo plane left Stansted ground for Chicago. On the

:21:10. > :21:16.ground, one very important cog in the big airport machine which keeps

:21:16. > :21:22.these big beasts flying. The cost of all that new equipment

:21:22. > :21:27.has cost something over �1 million. It is half-term next week and about

:21:34. > :21:38.this, fingers crossed, everything should be fine.

:21:38. > :21:41.Go and get something warm! Diabetes affects millions of people in the

:21:41. > :21:44.UK and of course the main treatment is drugs and injections. But

:21:44. > :21:47.researchers in Cambridge are working on a revolutionary

:21:47. > :21:50.treatment, an artificial pancreas which could produce insulin. Today

:21:50. > :21:55.the Duchess of Cambridge went to Addenbrooke's Hospital to talk to

:21:55. > :21:58.the doctors and the diabetes patients. And one of them is a

:21:58. > :22:03.rising star in Hollywood. Chatting to youngsters with

:22:03. > :22:07.diabetes - but there's more than one famous face here. Jeremy Irvine

:22:08. > :22:11.is Hollywood's hottest new actor - star of the hit film Warhorse. Four

:22:11. > :22:21.years ago he underwent trials at Addenbrookes hospital for a new

:22:21. > :22:22.

:22:22. > :22:27.device which could almost be a cure - an artificial pancreas. For me, I

:22:27. > :22:35.was just a guinea pig relief. I had to come in and spent 24 holes,

:22:35. > :22:41.overnight, in the ward. They cling to up to the artificial pancreas

:22:41. > :22:47.system and monitor your clutch of his for 24 hours. All we found,

:22:47. > :22:51.even though I was in here for 24 hours, was that the blood sugar was

:22:51. > :22:55.like someone who has not got diabetes. The numbers of patients

:22:55. > :22:58.with type 1 diabetes is growing. For them it means daily injections

:22:58. > :23:02.or an insulin pump to keep blood sugar levels normal. BBC journalist

:23:09. > :23:15.new artificial pancreas is exciting news. Having an artificial pancreas

:23:15. > :23:18.will mean that there are so many other things that you can do.

:23:18. > :23:23.project if it is successful is going to change tens of thousands

:23:23. > :23:27.of lives in Britain, hundreds of thousands of lives, it is going to

:23:27. > :23:35.be one of those things that you just brush off in the way the we

:23:35. > :23:41.brush-off diseases that you used to kill people. The next step for us

:23:41. > :23:47.is to move from the clinic to doing this treatment in people's home. We

:23:47. > :23:50.have one study to start as soon as possible as soon as we get the

:23:50. > :23:53.consumables. So the Duchess learned of an exciting new medical

:23:53. > :23:56.breakthrough. But she wasn't the only Royal in Cambridge today -

:23:56. > :23:58.husband Charles met teachers and the Education Secretary Michael

:23:58. > :24:08.Gove as the Prince's Teaching Institute celebrated its tenth

:24:14. > :24:20.I have to apologise because I said the Duchess of Cambridge and, of

:24:20. > :24:30.course, it is the Duchess of Cornwall.

:24:30. > :24:34.Yesterday was not too bad in terms of sunshine but it was cold. Today,

:24:34. > :24:39.a really cloudy situation across the whole of the East of England

:24:39. > :24:43.which if anything help to make it feel even colder. There were few

:24:43. > :24:50.light snow flurries and we still had the last of them but they are

:24:50. > :24:59.fading away. The main risk tonight is from the frost. Despite cloudy

:24:59. > :25:03.skies it is going to be a chilly night all the way through. Tomorrow,

:25:03. > :25:08.it is a similar theme but with one or two differences. It will be

:25:08. > :25:13.cloudy once again it certainly a feeling cold but also the risk of

:25:13. > :25:17.some snow coming in. We have a little front a way to the West

:25:17. > :25:21.which is nudging him from the north-west as we go through the day.

:25:21. > :25:25.Much of the day will be fine but we may see a little bit more in the

:25:25. > :25:29.way of snow tomorrow evening. Thursday morning should not pose

:25:29. > :25:34.too many problems other than a little bit of frost. As we head to

:25:34. > :25:39.the middle of the day, a little bit of snow drifting in from the north.

:25:39. > :25:44.I do not think it will amount to very much at all. Further south it

:25:44. > :25:49.should stay dry but another chilly day all the way through. Top

:25:49. > :25:53.temperatures of only one or two Celsius. The wind hopefully a touch

:25:53. > :25:57.gentler tomorrow. It is in the afternoon that I think we have

:25:57. > :26:02.really got the risk of some snow coming in. It will become more

:26:02. > :26:07.persistent as it comes down from the north. Tomorrow evening, there

:26:07. > :26:13.is a risk of a covering of snow across northern Cambridgeshire and

:26:13. > :26:17.down in for Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Perhaps two to five

:26:17. > :26:24.centimetres. But it will become drier through Thursday night and

:26:24. > :26:28.clearer as well. Into Friday itself, it looks as though the front that

:26:28. > :26:33.brings the snow will pull away to the east. Saturday able see the

:26:33. > :26:39.high pressure more dominant and the sunshine coming back. As we moved

:26:39. > :26:43.to Sunday, by high pressure news for the West and would allow some

:26:43. > :26:49.north-westerly winds to come in. That should bring some less cold

:26:49. > :26:54.air in as well. Friday looking cloudy, sunny spells on Saturday
