In Look East tonight... More than 2.6 million people are unemployed. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
So why does this engineering company need to recruit staff from | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
Australia? Hello and welcome to the programme. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Also tonight.... The latest on the CCTV car. Their | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
pictures. Your stories. What happens when this bridge | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
breaks down? And should the council take over the maintenance? | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
:00:37. | :00:46. | ||
And the latest of our Olympic First tonight, the engineering | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
company with plenty of contracts, but precious few local youngsters | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
able to make the grade. They call it the skills gap. Figures released | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
this week show that unemployment in this region went up last month by | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
3,000 to 213,000. But that doesn't mean there aren't any jobs. Very | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
often, the problem is finding the right person with the right | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
qualifications. For one company in Cambridgeshire, the situation is so | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
bad, it is recruiting from the other side of the world. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Z-Tech is exactly the sort of company the government would like | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
to encourage. It provides electronic detection systems for | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
companies like Anglian Water and the London Underground. This | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
company is now reliant on Aussies and Kiwis. They are very highly | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
trained, walking straight into a job with us we are so short of | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
their skills. They are very well trained back home with their | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
traditional engineering apprenticeships, which we seem to | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
struggle to offer these days. workers are only here on temporary | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
visas. For the most part, they are funding travels around Europe. But | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
the vocational courses they have completed at home make them highly | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
employable here. I did an apprenticeship for about 3.5 years. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
That covers everything, from basic domestic wiring to industrial | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
controls. I was worried when I came over and heard about unemployment. | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
The more people you speak to, you were told about it being difficult | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
to get hard-working people. company says the problem is two | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
fault, colleges not offering be courses needed, or students are | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
interested in taking them if the courses are there. It is difficult | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
convincing that this is a valued Korea, not the soft option, we need | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
highly educated people to do this sort of job for us. As it it | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
believes colleges are not offering the skills needed, they are | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
investing in their own training programmes. It offers a worthwhile | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
alternative to a degree. You can do this and are able to get the skills | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
and qualifications that gets you a decent salary without having the | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
debt you would have at university. Their working visas or only valid | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
for up to two years. But once the habit -- but once they have expired, | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
these people will call back down and are taking their skills with | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
them. Let's speak to Stephanie Fernandes | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
from the Institution of Engineering and Technology. She's at their HQ | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
in Stevenage. This is a worrying situation. This does not speak well | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
:03:53. | :03:55. | ||
for the economy. It is very worrying. We are experiencing a | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
shortage of engineers. It will have a negative impact on the UK economy. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
We will not be able to invest in cutting carbon issues or | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
rebalancing the economy towards manufacturing or technology-based | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
sectors. Is this a problem with their education or people not | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
wanting to go into engineering? again, part of the problem lies | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
within the education system. Ourl skills survey shows that almost | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
half of employers say that graduates do not meet their skills | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
requirements, especially in the areas of literacy, numeracy, | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
expertise and practical skills. There needs to be much more | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
provision for young people to equip them with crucial technical and | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
practical skills. Be it through academically or more vocational | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
types of learning. That could be apprenticeships, which are very | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
successful in equipping young people with the key skills and | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
making them much more employable. I think we need to address | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
perception... I am sorry, we have Adderley, sorry to interrupt. Do | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
you think there is an MLA -- do you think there is an image problem | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
with engineers? I think so. We need to promote the benefits of going | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
into a science or engineering based job. The skills survey shows more | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
and more employers are looking to recruit graduates from Europe who | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
have much more positive outlooks on science and engineering based jobs. | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
We have to do more in this country to turn that balance around. Thank | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
you very much. And we were only able to run that | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
story because Z-Tech sent us an email. If you've got a story, don't | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
forget to get in touch in the usual ways. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Let's stay with jobs, because Tesco has found itself at the centre of a | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
row today after it appeared to offer a permanent job which only | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
paid expenses. The company is taking part in a government scheme | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
designed to give unemployed people work experience. Tesco says calling | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
it permanent was a simple mistake. Our chief reporter Kim Riley has | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
been looking at the government scheme and finding out if it really | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
does help people find a paid job. Tesco appeared to offer permanent | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
nights -- night shift to a permanent job seeker. And they | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
would continue to receive Jobseeker's Allowance, but not earn | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
a wage. Tesco said the permanent work on its now removed | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
advertisement was a mistake caused by job seeker plus. Many large | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
retailers signed up to the Government schemes. But | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Waterstone's pulled out, and Sainsbury said it will only take | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
part in future voluntary schemes. This man has been sent on two | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
placements. It does not help me. I do not see why that is a | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
requirement to still be able to receive your Jobseeker's Allowance. | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
It does not help me. But most people approve of the scheme. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
you are doing something, even if not getting paid, that is more | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
sustainable than giving people money to do nothing. If you are | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
unemployed and having trouble getting back into the industry, at | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
least it helps. It is a way of getting experience and that could | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
set you up for a possible interviewed. The Government is | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
defending a case lodged in the High Court saying the scheme is a breach | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
human rights legislation on forced Labour. Nick Clegg visited | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
Cambridgeshire last month as youth unemployment hit 80,000, | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
championing the expansion of apprenticeships and work-experience. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
For its part, Tesco told me that kind of nature of work it was | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
advertising comes with a guaranteed job interview at the end. -- kind | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
of night shift work. It said that many of the people on these | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
placements had been given jobs. It emphasised that, while on work | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
experience, they were not a substitute or replacement for | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
Tesco's full-time staff. A council has insisted that it has | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
improved standards following the death of a one-month-old baby in | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
Southend. Baby Robert was born in 2009. His mother had a history of | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
drink and mental health issues. But it has emerged that several | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
agencies failed to refer her for help. Earlier tonight, I spoke to | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Chris Doorly from Southend's Safeguarding Children Board and | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
asked how it was allowed to happen. It is it always very difficult. One | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
of the issues in this situation was that we discover that people were | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
not checking back on records enough, something we have put a lot of work | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
into improving and correcting. It is difficult, because you are only | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
seeing what you see on that day. And that sheering off historic | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
information is very important in identifying risk and vulnerability. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
-- and that sheering off historic information. A lot of work was done | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
in the area of improving access to young mothers and single homes | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
parents to housing, because this woman was homeless. You talk about | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
that day. Surely visitors would have seen that woman was almost? | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
Yes. And work was done to help with the issue of housing. But during | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
this review and as a result of it, a lot of work has been done to try | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
and strengthen and develop that. has been said that the Baby Peter | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
case contributed, leading to an increase in workload. Surely the | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
death of one child should help prevent the death of a second? | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
After the death of Baby Peter and be a mite of publicity, there were | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
many more referrals to children and social care services, because of a | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
heightened awareness of concern about children. To go back to be | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
the Robert, he died of Infant Death Syndrome. It highlighted council | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
services should have done more. There were feelings to work to | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
guidelines, poor record-keeping. It has been two years since the | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
Serious Case Review. Can people be confident in the agencies for | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
safeguarding children? You cannot be complacent. We keep these things | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
under constant scrutiny and work very hard to see that, when risks | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
and identified, we keep them under scrutiny and continue to see them | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
improve. That has been proven to be the case in Southend. Thank you for | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
joining us. Thank you. Later in the programme The coach at | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Northampton Saints rules himself out of the England job. And your | :10:57. | :11:07. | |

stories after our reports last The rides at a funfair in King's | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Lynn were closed to customers a short time ago in tribute to a | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
three-year-old boy who died after an accident nearby. The accident | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
happened on King Street at 5.30 yesterday afternoon. The boy died | :11:18. | :11:27. | |
later in hospital. All morning people came to lay | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
flowers in the boy's memory. Some clearly knew him. Others did not, | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
but just wanted to pay their respects. The accident happened | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
outside his restaurant close to the King's Lynn market, where the chief | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
steward told me stall holders and ride operators wanted the place to | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
fall silent for five minutes tonight as a mark of respect. | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
rights will be on, but no customers served or any music playing. -- the | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
rides. Our heart and soul go out to this family. It was closed for a | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
Park last night as police continued an investigation. At her mac was | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
taken away. There was a petition for the road to be closed during | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
the market. But it is said it is too early to make that decision. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
put in a lot of planning every year with organisers. Many different | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
groups. And we review safety plans, check safety plans. What is the | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
best solution? What we need is the advice from the police when | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
everyone is certain as to exactly what happened. This is a busy part | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
of town and one woman, who did not want to be interviewed, said the | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
small roundabout near where the accident took place is dangerous | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
for pedestrians. Police are appealing for any witnesses to | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
contact them. Former Energy Secretary, Chris | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Huhne, made his first appearance at court today accused of perverting | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
the course of justice. He's alleged to have asked his ex-wife Vicky | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Pryce to take penalty points for a speeding offence in Essex nine | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
years ago. The case has been adjourned until March 2nd. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Another review has been ordered into the conviction of a man found | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
guilty of murder. Simon Hall from Ipswich was jailed for life in 2003 | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
for stabbing Joan Albert at her home in Capel St Mary. He's always | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
maintained his innocence. A previous appeal was rejected. Now | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
the Criminal Cases Review Commission has agreed to re-examine | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
the case. Suffolk County Council wants to | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
take over the management of a bridge which has been closed for | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
maintenance 151 times in the past five years. The Bascule Bridge in | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Lowestoft is a bottleneck for traffic. At the moment, it's | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
managed by the Highways Agency. But the council believes it can do a | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
better job. If you ask people in Lowestoft, what they think, they do | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
not hold back. Absolutely horrendous. It is a pain in the | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
neck. Today. A modest half of mile or so | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
of queues. This is the bridge when raised. When it breaks down, as it | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
did recently. It cuts the town in two causing gridlock. We saw a huge | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
foot fall because the bridge was closed. From the air, the critical | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
role the bridge plays is all too clear. In 2008, the Highways Agency | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
spent over �2 million trying to improve reliability. But BBC Radio | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Suffolk has found, over the past five years, the bridge has been | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
forced to close 151 times. That was mainly overnight, but also 11 times | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
during the day. Now the county council has had enough. It wants to | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
take over management from the Highways Agency. Ownership would | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
remain with central Government, but we would be grossly it about | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
repairs. We would work out a scheme of improvements. -- we would talk | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
about repairs. The Highways Agency says it tries to keep closures to a | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
minimum. It points out the bridge is complex and needs regular | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
maintenance. But the patience of businesses and many others over | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:38. | ||
this ageing bridge is now wearing Councils in Essex have welcomed a | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
deal that will keep the Coryton oil refinery open for the next three | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
months. Essex County Council and Thurrock Council both say the | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
arrangement is good news, but that they're committed to securing its | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
long-term future. The refinery has been under threat since its owners | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
Petroplus went into administration, with up to 1,000 jobs at risk. The | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
councils say they've been working closely with the administrators and | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
the government and will Continued to do so. | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
A mother from Essex fears she may not be able to attend the trial of | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the men accused of killing her son, because she can't afford to travel | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
to Germany. An MP is now campaigning for more help for | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
people like Marie Heath. Marie Heath lights a candle on the | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
urn that holds the ashes of her son Lee. I do not suppose we will move | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
on, we will always miss him, he was a big part of the family. Lee Heath | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
lived and worked in Germany. Last year, bouncers beat him up outside | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
a club in Frankfurt. He died. Mrs Heath has letters from the court | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
saying the bouncers' lengthy trial will start next month. She says she | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
couldn't live with herself if she doesn't travel to Germany to see | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
the men accused of killing her son face justice. I know it is a lot of | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
money. We are looking at over 60 flights to go out for the trial | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
once a week. We need some help to get there. Her MP, Priti Patel, | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
says that help should come from the Government. These families are left | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
on their own to fight their corner. When you see the amount of support | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
given to criminals, whether in terms of education or whatever | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
support, it is there for them. Under victims of crime are | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
constantly forgotten about. We need to rebalance the justice system. | :17:32. | :17:38. | |

More now on the controversy surrounding the new CCTV cars | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
introduced to combat illegal parking on the streets of | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
Bedfordshire. As we saw on yesterday's programme, the cars | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
drive around taking pictures using a camera mounted on the roof. After | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
the programme, many of you got in touch. They are the New Kids On the | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Block, camera cars said to be six times more effective than a traffic | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
warden, using GPS and technology recognising number plates. It seems | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
many viewers have been caught out by these yellow cards. We heard | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
from a pensioner who was ticketed for shopping on that -- for | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
stopping on the main road when he closed his garage and a wine | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
merchant done after unloading stock. Now Joan Smith has been in touch | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
and tells us she, too, has been snapped because she pulled into | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
drop-off her friend who is also called Joan Smith. We go for lunch | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
once a week. It gets her out. But that the vehicle taking my vehicle | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
stopped me pulling out. And I am only a pensioner. Lots of you have | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
written in. Martin said he is a disabled driver and tells us he | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
received a ticket from this. But the photograph was taken from the | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
back, there for failing to notice the Blue Badge on his front | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
windscreen. And we had a letter from Duncan saying it is | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
interesting the council can magically find money to run the | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
services -- run the service Wells cutting services elsewhere. And | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
David said he thinks these cars are a good idea, stopping pavements | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
been blocked and grass spoiled by people parking in considerably. | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Central Bedfordshire council said checks and balances are in place, | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
with footage reviewed at the day and those with problems can appeal. | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
-- reviewed every day. What could you do? | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
LAUGHTER. I will have to jump out whilst the car is moving. We do | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
talking before we pull-out and then she is out. She has appealed and | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
this has not cost her �70. The nimble Joan Smith and her friend | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
Joan Smith. Thank you to everyone who got in touch. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
The Director of Rugby at Northampton Saints, Jim Mallinder, | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
says he has not applied for the job of England manager. He had been | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
tipped as one of the leading contenders. But speaking | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
exclusively to Look East today, he says, for now, he wants to focus on | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
his club's success. He has transformed the club after | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
five years at Franklins Gardens. But getting a good players into the | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
England squad is the achievement that has put him on the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
international spotlight. Speculation has been rife as to who | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
will succeed Martin Johnson. Ford Jim Mallinder, it was a case of | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
will he or will he. Until today. has to be the right thing at the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
right time and right place. At the moment, I am concerned with getting | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
Northampton to win something and we have a chance this year and that is | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
what I am focusing on. It is fair to say Rugby is light at | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Northampton. So it is not surprising that the coach's | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
decision not to go for the England job has proven pop, -- popular. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
is a good idea. Northampton Saints art in a good position and it is | :21:57. | :22:06. | |
good for him Tuesday. He is a good man. It is brilliant news. Never | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
mind England, please stay here. Whilst eyes are on the top job at | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Twickenham, Jim Mallinder's eyes are not likely to stray far from | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Franklin's Gardens. Stage you, son. | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
LAUGHTER. -- stay here. Some of the world's greatest | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
cyclists will be trying out the new Olympic Velodrome when the World | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Cup begins there tomorrow. Among them will be our very own Victoria | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Pendleton from Bedfordshire. Four years ago, Victoria won two gold | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
medals in Beijing. London 2012 will be her last games, so she wants to | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
go out on high. The target this year is three gold medals. This | :22:48. | :22:57. | |
report is from our Olympic Correspondent Shaun Pe eel. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
She has conquered the world, but now it is back to the one she has | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
had a weird dreams about. I am always being chased, but I think | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
that is the nature of the profession. I will always want to | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
move forward or go somewhere. Being chased is a common theme. Victoria | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
says she is retiring after the Olympic Games, leaving three big | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
ones, the one or Cup this weekend, World Championships in Australia | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
and then London. -- World Cup. It is the start of a long goodbye for | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
a very decorated cyclist. I want to make the most of these last three | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
races. I am constantly told by my team that I am kidding myself | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
thinking I can leave. I am told I will miss that after one year. I | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
will never say never. I do not think it will be sprinting. | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
Victoria is probably the best I have seen her since Beijing. We are | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
seeing the real Victoria stepping back up. Her attitudes is brilliant. | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
There may be 9 million bicycles in Beijing, but only one had Victoria | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
Pendleton, coming home with two gold medals, coming home to stardom. | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
But last year, she said she lost her hunger to win. It looks like | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
she has her more Jo Black right in the nick of time. -- got her mojo | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
back. I have not felt this good since 2008. It anyone doubted her | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
motivation, just watch, and wheels are very much for turning. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
Those crashes always looked very painful. Prepare yourself for a bit | :24:56. | :25:06. | |

Mild weather almost to begin with, continuing over night. We are | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
between two weather fronts. That is because of a ridge of high pressure | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
bringing westerly winds. The cold front brings colder weather on | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Saturday, then mild weather returns next week. The satellite picture | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
shows some breaks in the cloud bringing some brightness. And some | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
mild temperatures. And there is much colder weather coming down | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
from Scotland, holding off from us until Saturday. Some cloud stopping | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
temperatures falling to low tonight. Temperatures dipping down to about | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
five Celsius in gaps. Most of us avoiding frost. The cloud will be | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
Vicar in the North. Temperatures could be as mild as 7 Celsius in | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
the breeze. -- cloud will be Flecker. A lot more cloud tomorrow. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
Generally a lot of cloud. Possibly the colour -- possibly fit enough | :26:09. | :26:18. | |
for light rain or drizzle. Nevertheless, it will be a mild day. | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
We above the average of 7 Celsius. That is because of the westerly | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
wind. During the afternoon, it stays cloudy, thickening up in the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
North, with some spots of drizzle. During the night, we could find | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
further rain as well. Saturday morning, things changing, becoming | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
much breezier. Mild and the morning, been rain in the afternoon followed | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
by colder weather. Some brighter weather during the end of the day, | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
frost during the night and first thing Sunday morning. Then south- | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
westerly winds back for early next week. That brings the temperatures | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
back up once more. It will be colder, but not for long. The | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
heaviest rain on Saturday. Cold and bright on Sunday with frost. Frost | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
on Monday morning, then breeze picking up. The careful if you are | :27:22. | :27:31. |
