:00:15. > :00:19.Welcome to a new week on Look East with Susie and me. Coming up: It is

:00:19. > :00:24.raining and pouring and we have a huge new reservoir, but will it be

:00:24. > :00:29.enough to tackle the drought? Abberton Reservoir is critical for

:00:29. > :00:33.securing supplies for our customers across Essex for the next 25 years.

:00:34. > :00:38.The new face of the bobby on the beat. They are civilians who have

:00:38. > :00:42.some police powers. I am more confident than ever that we can

:00:42. > :00:48.provide a role. If you go down to the woods today,

:00:48. > :00:51.you will see Holly hard at work. And Lord St John of Fawsley, MP for

:00:51. > :01:01.Chelmsford for 23 years and a member of Mrs Thatcher's first

:01:01. > :01:09.

:01:09. > :01:14.We have had more rain in the last 24 hours than during the whole of

:01:14. > :01:18.the year so far. There is a big extension in the pipeline for one

:01:18. > :01:23.of our reservoirs, but it is not enough to solve the drought crisis

:01:23. > :01:28.in this region. Take a look at this. It is Abberton Reservoir, South of

:01:28. > :01:32.Colchester in Essex. It is in the process of being expanded. It will

:01:32. > :01:35.hold 41 billion litres of water when it is finished, making it the

:01:35. > :01:43.third biggest reservoir in the region. It is described as a

:01:43. > :01:48.crucial resource in the UK's tries county.

:01:48. > :01:53.-- driest county. It is hard to believe that this is

:01:53. > :02:01.the UK's dries county at the moment, but litter behind me is the new

:02:01. > :02:06.Essex Wildlife Trust's visitor Centre here. We are about five

:02:06. > :02:14.miles from Colchester. Abberton has an interesting history. It was

:02:14. > :02:21.built in the 1930s and used in 1943 as a practice area by a squadron.

:02:21. > :02:25.It now has a vital role to play in the region's future water supplies.

:02:25. > :02:30.It is his huge stretch of water. Abberton Reservoir is already big,

:02:30. > :02:37.but it is getting bigger. Today, like most days, the diggers were

:02:37. > :02:39.hard assets. The operations director of Essex and Suffolk Water

:02:40. > :02:45.explained why the work would improve water supplies in Essex,

:02:45. > :02:50.the UK's driest county. We are investing �150 million in this. We

:02:50. > :02:53.are taking water from Norfolk, where there is plenty, and

:02:53. > :02:59.transferring it through pipelines into this reservoir for storage for

:02:59. > :03:03.use during the summer. An Essex landmark has vanished. Abberton's

:03:03. > :03:09.Old Pump House has been demolished. The old visitor centre is going as

:03:09. > :03:12.well. It will soon be under water, but anyone officially opened today.

:03:13. > :03:16.Abberton is a wetland of international importance for

:03:16. > :03:20.wildfowl, and it is hoped that a bigger reservoir will attract even

:03:20. > :03:24.more birds. The biggest benefit here is getting rid of the concrete

:03:24. > :03:29.edge which was around in the reservoir. When the end has since

:03:29. > :03:33.finished, it will be natural hedges with lots of reeds and other

:03:33. > :03:38.vegetation, so it will attract more wildlife. We have had good birds

:03:38. > :03:40.recently, a short eared owl recently. That was the first bird

:03:40. > :03:46.that the team saw from the new centre.

:03:46. > :03:50.Work will not finish until 2014. Appleton -- Abberton will be able

:03:50. > :03:59.to hold another 15 billion litres of water, improving supplies of a

:03:59. > :04:05.scarce resource. With the expansion work here, but

:04:05. > :04:15.it would not ease the shortage we face now. What we needed do is

:04:15. > :04:16.

:04:16. > :04:19.this: See rain, and lots of it. The Environment Agency organised a

:04:19. > :04:22.special drought forum in Peterborough today. All the

:04:22. > :04:26.important players were there, Anglian Water, the National

:04:26. > :04:31.Farmers' Union and Natural England. They were trying to find a way to

:04:31. > :04:37.manage the drought. The rain started yesterday and in

:04:37. > :04:41.some parts of the region, it has not stopped yet. In Norfolk, a

:04:41. > :04:45.forecaster has monitoring equipment in his back garden. We have got 40

:04:45. > :04:51.mm of rain there. That is about the same and that I have had all year

:04:51. > :04:55.to this point. I have doubled my rainfall in the last 24 hours.

:04:55. > :05:02.According to the experts, it would need to rein for weeks or months in

:05:02. > :05:04.order to solve our waters shortage. The Environment Agency held at a

:05:04. > :05:08.forum in Peterborough today to discuss with water companies,

:05:08. > :05:14.farmers and environmental groups, what to do next.

:05:14. > :05:18.We cannot solve the problem on his own. We cannot make it rain. But

:05:18. > :05:23.everyone can act now and help mitigate the effect of drought by

:05:23. > :05:28.using water in the best possible way. It is a precious resource.

:05:28. > :05:35.buildings go, this one is about as boring as it gets, but it is

:05:35. > :05:39.important. This is the bore hole, and because Anglian Water gets

:05:39. > :05:44.about 50% of its water from boreholes, some 600 million litres

:05:44. > :05:49.a day, the fact that South feel's is already producing less water is

:05:49. > :05:55.bad news. We have had to dry windows in a row, and that is the

:05:55. > :06:00.time we expect underground aquifers to refill with rainwater. That has

:06:00. > :06:04.not been happening. Almost a day has been wet for many, it will not

:06:04. > :06:09.solve the drought. Anglia Water has said that unless we get more rain,

:06:09. > :06:18.a lot more rain, the prospect of restrictions on domestic use grows

:06:18. > :06:20.ever more likely. How much rain have we had?

:06:20. > :06:23.How much rain have we had? These are the figures taken from

:06:23. > :06:28.when it began raining yesterday after being until 6 o'clock this

:06:28. > :06:34.evening. One of the wettest spots was Norwich, where there were 52 mm

:06:34. > :06:36.of water. In Bedford, not quite so much year, around half an inch. Is

:06:36. > :06:41.much year, around half an inch. Is there more to come? I will be back

:06:41. > :06:44.later with the fall forecast. We will continue to update you on

:06:44. > :06:48.the drought situation and we would be interested to hear from you if

:06:48. > :06:51.you find yourself affected. You can phone, e-mail or get in touch via

:06:51. > :06:55.Facebook. It has been announced that a

:06:55. > :07:00.private security company has signed a contract to provide police

:07:00. > :07:04.services in Suffolk and Norfolk. The company supplies door staff for

:07:04. > :07:08.nightclubs and stewards -- stewards for public events at the moment. It

:07:08. > :07:12.will now help in the fight against anti-social behaviour. The deal has

:07:12. > :07:17.been criticised by a union. They are private security staff,

:07:17. > :07:24.but they have been given police powers in a deal signed by the

:07:24. > :07:32.Norfolk and Suffolk forces. They can issue fixed penalty notices for

:07:32. > :07:38.cycling or for graffiti. People are always going to be wary of it, but

:07:38. > :07:42.at the end of the day, the extent of training that we all have, there

:07:42. > :07:47.is enough training put in place to be able to deliver these safely.

:07:47. > :07:52.is being driven by cuts to police budgets. So far, 12 security

:07:52. > :07:56.officers have become members of the scheme. They will join police

:07:56. > :08:01.officers mac in having powers to seize tobacco from under 16 year-

:08:01. > :08:08.olds, stop cyclists and control traffic. In the age of solace --

:08:08. > :08:14.austerity, there are discussions in government about how security can

:08:14. > :08:19.be managed. We will do anything to help the local constabulary is in

:08:19. > :08:23.what they view as what it is appropriate for us to do. They

:08:23. > :08:28.there was a mixed response. I think it is a good idea. If it relieves

:08:28. > :08:35.pressure of the main police, they can go out and to attend to more

:08:35. > :08:39.serious crimes. Without any real level of authority behind them, I

:08:39. > :08:43.do not see how a security guard can do their job effectively. Norfolk

:08:43. > :08:49.police say the private companies enhance the uniformed presence on

:08:50. > :08:56.the street. The body representing most police ranks is a happy.

:08:56. > :09:00.Police officers and those who do the work out on the streets are

:09:00. > :09:04.governed by strict regulations. We want to know who is going to govern

:09:04. > :09:07.the people who are actually out there on the streets and what

:09:07. > :09:11.regulations they will have. Police forces are increasingly turning to

:09:11. > :09:16.private companies to ease the pressures on them. It is likely

:09:16. > :09:20.that the numbers of private security offices given police

:09:20. > :09:24.powers will continue to rise. Late this afternoon I spoke to

:09:24. > :09:29.Richard Olsen from the private security firm involved, GSL Dardan.

:09:29. > :09:32.I put it to him that fully trained police officers can have trouble

:09:32. > :09:36.dealing with anti-social behaviour, so it will be more difficult for

:09:36. > :09:40.his men and women. They will face the same issues as police currently

:09:41. > :09:47.face in terms of dealing with it. All our officers -- officers will

:09:47. > :09:51.have training. They will have licences and have worked in events

:09:51. > :09:55.and stewarding, so they have a good understanding of how to deal with

:09:55. > :10:03.the public. There will be issues of people not respect and then, but by

:10:03. > :10:05.and large, hopefully most citizens were -- will. They will have a see

:10:05. > :10:13.R v Czech and some in-house training. That does not qualify

:10:13. > :10:17.them in the same way as a policeman. That is why we have brought in

:10:17. > :10:24.extra training. Traffic wardens are helping us with traffic management

:10:24. > :10:29.and we have ex-police officers who will have been involved in the

:10:29. > :10:34.issuing of fixed penalty notices. Widen the police do it for the same

:10:34. > :10:39.amount of money? Are ultimately, we find that the services that the

:10:39. > :10:45.police deliver currently are quite widespread. People will be buying

:10:45. > :10:49.in services as and when they feel there is a risk to themselves. We

:10:49. > :10:52.are currently discussing with various councils the possibility of

:10:52. > :10:56.doing Olympic Torch relays and traffic management and policing for

:10:56. > :11:00.those events. If you find that your officers do not get the respect

:11:00. > :11:06.that you think they are entitled to from the public, will you pull out?

:11:06. > :11:10.It is too early to say. We provide a lot of support and training to

:11:10. > :11:14.ensure we are successful. We discuss it with the police. That is

:11:14. > :11:18.four days' training, and two days in House does not seem like a lot.

:11:18. > :11:24.It is not, but these officers to have had a number of years working

:11:24. > :11:29.in events in the studio environment, which can be an anti-social and

:11:29. > :11:33.Warren that in itself. Thank you very much.

:11:33. > :11:39.Later, a round-up of the weekend goals. We look back on the

:11:39. > :11:44.political career of Lord St John of Fawsley, he was in Margaret

:11:44. > :11:49.Thatcher's first Cabinet. Plus, it has been a busy day in the woods.

:11:49. > :11:54.Yes, I am in an ancient woodland, under the flightpath at Stansted

:11:54. > :11:58.Airport. What is Holly the Suffolk Punch doing here? Find out how they

:11:58. > :12:07.are mixing the old with the new after more news from your part of

:12:07. > :12:11.the region. The new look Southend Airport had

:12:11. > :12:14.its official opening today. The Transport Secretary Justine

:12:14. > :12:18.Greening said it would provide a valuable contribution to air travel

:12:18. > :12:24.in the South East. She said that we'd still need more airport

:12:24. > :12:28.capacity and she would not rule out new runways Tory new airport.

:12:28. > :12:33.Southend Airport is about to get much busier. From next month, there

:12:33. > :12:39.will be 90 flights a week from here to destinations across Europe. The

:12:39. > :12:42.new terminal is ready. The airport promises there will be a bit and is

:12:42. > :12:48.is on customer service. We have a number of promises about how long

:12:48. > :12:53.you will wait a security, never more than four minutes. We want to

:12:53. > :12:57.make sure you can get from your aircraft to the platform and no

:12:57. > :13:01.more than 15 minutes. The Transport Secretary said the airport's

:13:01. > :13:05.expansion was a bout of -- vote of confidence for the area. She is

:13:05. > :13:10.about to publish a paper on how to increase their capacity in the

:13:10. > :13:15.region. The South East is heavily congested. Businesses worry that in

:13:15. > :13:21.20 years' time, there will beunless something is done. We need to use

:13:21. > :13:25.what we have more effectively. Yes, we need to think ahead and think,

:13:25. > :13:31.do we have enough capacity in the aviation sector? If we do not, what

:13:31. > :13:36.we do to make sure we get the right sort of capacity in the next 10, 20,

:13:36. > :13:39.30 years? So we need another runway or airport at some stage two I am

:13:39. > :13:44.not going to prejudge what outcome will get from the process I am

:13:44. > :13:47.about to kick-off. For now, there is capacity at airports like San

:13:47. > :13:52.said, but what happens after that? The Government has ruled out a

:13:52. > :13:55.third runway at Heathrow, so will another at sunset be back on the

:13:55. > :13:59.agenda? The plans to build an airport in the Thames are being

:13:59. > :14:04.taken more seriously. Southend will still be handling 2 million

:14:04. > :14:08.passengers a year. That will certainly hope -- help, but it will

:14:09. > :14:11.not solve the problem of air capacity in the South East. The

:14:11. > :14:19.industry ix the -- is expecting the Government to come up with

:14:19. > :14:22.Norwich Castle Museum is reviewing security after it was targeted by

:14:22. > :14:25.thieves twice in one week. These items linked to Lord Nelson and

:14:25. > :14:28.valued at more than �36,000 were stolen, just days after thieves

:14:28. > :14:32.tried to take a rhino's head. This weekend a painting by Titian valued

:14:32. > :14:35.at �50 million pounds went on display.

:14:35. > :14:38.The new Cromer and District Hospital opened to patients this

:14:38. > :14:43.weekend, more than ten years after a widow left them nearly �12

:14:43. > :14:50.million. The final bill is about �15 million, with all the money

:14:50. > :14:53.coming from private legacies. Has some thought it would never get

:14:53. > :14:56.off the drawing board, but this weekend, patients with minor

:14:56. > :15:02.injuries were the first to be treated here. The new hospital will

:15:02. > :15:06.be fully opened in your leeks and will replace the existing one. It

:15:06. > :15:10.will include a new theatre for all it -- I operations and a breast

:15:10. > :15:16.screening unit. We will be able to enable it to people who have to

:15:16. > :15:26.make a journey of over 25 miles away to have that health care

:15:26. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:33.delivered here. �25 million was left to the hospital as a thank-you

:15:33. > :15:39.to the care received by a sister. The capital is being funded by

:15:39. > :15:43.private bequest, but the operating costs are funded by public money. I

:15:43. > :15:48.think philanthropic request -- bequests were this a wonderful way

:15:48. > :15:52.for rich people to be a long term memory. But it had -- but had it

:15:52. > :15:56.not been for that, there would be no hospital here. I think it is

:15:56. > :16:00.highly unlikely. Be tested to 12 long years to appreciate this

:16:00. > :16:06.generosity. The new hostel has been delayed by a literary of setbacks

:16:06. > :16:09.for planning setbacks to preservation lists to bat droppings

:16:09. > :16:12.found in the attic of the old hospital. The old will be

:16:12. > :16:17.demolished to make way for the new. Sadness for some but relief for

:16:17. > :16:20.many more that the local health care still has a key role in this

:16:20. > :16:23.community. It has been announced today that

:16:23. > :16:26.the Duchess of Cambridge will visit Suffolk this month to officially

:16:26. > :16:30.open a new Children's Hospice near Ipswich. The Duchess became patron

:16:30. > :16:37.of East Anglia's Children's Hospices at the start of this year.

:16:37. > :16:41.The visit is on March 19th. Let's catch up with all the weekend

:16:41. > :16:45.football action now. Here's Tom. Great win for Ipswich, five in six

:16:45. > :16:48.games now. They beat Bristol City three-nil. But the key talking

:16:48. > :16:52.point was the disciplinary action taken by Paul Jewell against two of

:16:52. > :16:59.his players, Michael Chopra and Jimmy Bullard. It followed a

:16:59. > :17:03.highly-publicised night on the town. Here's Kevin Burch.

:17:03. > :17:10.Two players, same misdemeanour, late for training after visiting

:17:10. > :17:15.night spot in the north. Punishment, two weeks' wages, more than �30,000

:17:15. > :17:21.and suspended for two weeks. Why the difference? Well, it did not

:17:21. > :17:24.seem sensible to tell Michael Chopra to stay away for a fortnight,

:17:24. > :17:34.it will be given his well- documented care -- problem with

:17:34. > :17:35.

:17:35. > :17:38.gambling. You cannot treat everybody the same. Everybody has

:17:38. > :17:42.different characteristics. Nobody is perfect. They have made a

:17:42. > :17:47.mistake and have been apologetic. We have dealt with that and we will

:17:47. > :17:57.move on. And deer moving on nicely. On Saturday, it was a chastised

:17:57. > :18:10.

:18:10. > :18:16.You have to let off steam, but there is a limit. If they have done

:18:16. > :18:20.wrong, it should be the same for each player. Everybody has had

:18:20. > :18:25.their personal problems. The manager has made the decision to

:18:25. > :18:31.punish any differently and I think it makes sense. Saturday proved

:18:31. > :18:37.that referees sometimes lose -- changed their minds. City's players

:18:37. > :18:45.were fuming. Just to make sure, Andrew Judy made for -- let fly.

:18:45. > :18:50.Next stop at the Southampton a week tomorrow night.

:18:50. > :18:53.Three defeats in a row for Norwich. Stoke won 1-nil. Matthew

:18:53. > :18:56.Etherington beat John Ruddy, the keeper won't be happy. The Canaries,

:18:56. > :18:59.though, felt they were hard done by in the lead up to the goal. A

:18:59. > :19:07.throw-in, given to Stoke. Replays show it should have been awarded to

:19:07. > :19:13.Norwich, who fall to 11th in the Premier League. I think it was our

:19:13. > :19:15.throw-in. The referee gave it to us. He was walking up to the pitch as

:19:16. > :19:21.if he was giving it to ourselves and the linesman has made 10

:19:21. > :19:24.changes made for some reason. John Ward thought Colchester's 3-

:19:24. > :19:27.nil win over Preston was as good a result as they have had all season.

:19:27. > :19:31.Steven Gillespie scored twice. His second, a penalty. Andy Bond

:19:31. > :19:35.rounded off the scoring in the final minute. The Us up to 11th in

:19:35. > :19:37.League One. Southend are back in the League Two

:19:37. > :19:40.promotion spots. They're third. Playing in pink, David Martin

:19:40. > :19:47.opened the scoring against Burton. Neil Harris got a second. The

:19:47. > :19:54.manager dropped four players for breaching club discipline.

:19:54. > :19:59.changes, but as the game wore on, the players settled back into

:19:59. > :20:02.something like ourselves and the goals came.

:20:02. > :20:04.And Late Kick Off tonight takes a look at football's ongoing

:20:04. > :20:11.financial crisis and the fresh attempt to tackle the problem. The

:20:11. > :20:14.Football League is introducing new "Fair Play" rules. Speaking to my

:20:14. > :20:18.Peers across the championship, every club is facing this challenge

:20:18. > :20:24.at the moment and everyone is gripping the issue and we will

:20:24. > :20:27.definitely see a reduction in net player salaries going for it. --

:20:27. > :20:30.going forward. Southend play Crawley tonight.

:20:30. > :20:33.Highlights from Roots Hall on Late Kick Off, BBC 1 at 11:05pm. Viewers

:20:33. > :20:36.also have their say on the current "Grant Holt for England" debate.

:20:36. > :20:44.Former Norwich City and Luton Town winger Adrian Forbes joins Matt and

:20:44. > :20:48.Perry in the studio. Tributes have been paid today to

:20:48. > :20:51.Lord St John of Fawsley, who has died at the age of 82. As Norman St

:20:51. > :20:57.John-Stevas, he was MP for Chelmsford for 23 years and one of

:20:57. > :21:07.Mrs Thatcher's so-called "wets". He served under both Edward Heath

:21:07. > :21:07.

:21:07. > :21:10.and Margaret Thatcher. The former Chancellor Norman Lamont said today

:21:10. > :21:13.he brought wit, style, elegance and colour to British politics. But

:21:13. > :21:18.behind the flamboyant exterior, there was a razor sharp mind, firm

:21:18. > :21:22.principles and deeply held convictions.

:21:22. > :21:26.This is one of his last appearances on BBC television in the east. Not

:21:27. > :21:30.only was he a politician, order and a barrister up, but a

:21:30. > :21:39.constitutional expert. The main function of the monarchy is to be a

:21:39. > :21:43.symbol of the unity of the nation and the continuity of her history.

:21:43. > :21:52.Does he here at Cambridge, he was educated at Radcliffe College and

:21:52. > :21:55.elected as MP for Chelmsford in 1964. Naturally, I am saddened and

:21:55. > :21:58.I know many constituents that work with him when he was the MP for

:21:58. > :22:03.Chelmsford will be equally saddened as the remember the help that he

:22:03. > :22:08.gave them. But what I think one remembers most about him was the

:22:08. > :22:12.sense of wit, his irreverence. flamboyant figure in Westminster

:22:12. > :22:16.and a familiar face on television. He served in Edward Heath's

:22:17. > :22:22.government, was sacked by at Lady Thatcher and created a life peer in

:22:22. > :22:29.1987. He was a great man, great parliamentarian and a great wit. He

:22:29. > :22:34.coined the name of four or Margaret Thatcher and that did not go down

:22:34. > :22:38.well at all. So here at Mass at risk -- Westminster Cathedral, his

:22:38. > :22:42.greatest legacy was introducing the select committee system and backing

:22:42. > :22:49.the television of the Commons. As spokesman for his family said he

:22:49. > :22:52.died at his home on Friday, after a short illness.

:22:52. > :22:58.And since we have been on air, the former Prime Minister John Major

:22:58. > :23:00.has been speaking about Lord St John. He said, "He was a man of

:23:00. > :23:05.many diverse talents. Often irreverent and sometimes waspish,

:23:05. > :23:10.he was always fun. But his flippancy had a cost, and shortened

:23:10. > :23:14.his Cabinet career." As we have seen, it's been very wet

:23:14. > :23:18.and windy today. So not a good day to be working outside in the

:23:18. > :23:21.elements. Except for one grafter who has been

:23:21. > :23:24.hard at work all day. Holly the Suffolk Punch has been recruited by

:23:24. > :23:34.woodland managers near Stansted Airport to help in a clearing up

:23:34. > :23:35.

:23:35. > :23:39.operation. Alex Dolan went to see Holly the Suffolk Punch transports

:23:40. > :23:43.us back to the days of walking the land. She is a hard at work under

:23:43. > :23:48.the flightpath of one of the country's busiest airports. This

:23:48. > :23:53.ancient woodland is owned and managed by Stansted Airport. He

:23:53. > :23:57.were head of sustainability in an industry that some may say is

:23:57. > :24:00.unsustainable. The work that the report does, one in this, is to

:24:01. > :24:04.make sure that we maintain and if possible and hands the diversity of

:24:04. > :24:08.all the flora and fauna here in the wood. It is an interesting one for

:24:08. > :24:13.us, because obviously, this woodland sits close to the end of

:24:13. > :24:22.on the runway and we have to take into account the safety conditions

:24:22. > :24:25.of airport -- Air planes taking off and landing here. At ten-year

:24:25. > :24:30.management plan with natural England requires the felling and

:24:30. > :24:34.removal of trees, but nothing goes to waste. What do you mean? It was

:24:34. > :24:38.cut down and allowed to regrow. If you have one stem and a cut that,

:24:38. > :24:43.tour to the stems will come out of that. Tickets will begin the in

:24:43. > :24:47.that they would Ottaway and the die, so you have to take him out.

:24:47. > :24:51.Suffolk Punch was the original workforce. Britain's strength in

:24:51. > :24:55.the 16th century, it became the powerhouse of farming. As machines

:24:55. > :24:59.took over, the breed almost disappear. So why use a horse

:24:59. > :25:02.today? I firmly believe that working horses still have a place

:25:02. > :25:07.in the modern forestry, and the reason it it for that is there more

:25:07. > :25:12.sensitive than machines. When there extracting from somewhere like this,

:25:12. > :25:16.it causes much less damage to the ground. Tractors begin to the

:25:16. > :25:20.ground and make ruts, but horses do not do that. She pursues along with

:25:20. > :25:24.all four feet, so she might mess up the first few millimetres of the

:25:24. > :25:29.soul, but he does not begin in the same way that a machine does. As

:25:29. > :25:33.Holly does her bit to reduce Stansted's carbon food front, the

:25:33. > :25:41.already airport -- planes are a constant reminder that the modern

:25:41. > :25:44.world is not far away. We want it to rain, but I could

:25:44. > :25:54.have done without the wind and the call.

:25:54. > :25:58.The rain has been coming right over the top, circulating in the east

:25:58. > :26:04.and the opera region. Before it got dark, we enjoyed some brightness

:26:04. > :26:08.and even sunshine, and Northampton. Further east, very different story.

:26:08. > :26:14.I can do it will be the case over night to night. In the West, it

:26:14. > :26:18.will be more dry, with some broken cloud. Heavy for a time with the

:26:18. > :26:27.rain, but it should become patchier and later as the rain -- the night

:26:27. > :26:32.goes on. Possibly a touch of that ground frost. The wind will

:26:32. > :26:37.continue to ease down, to a moderate to fresh wind in the

:26:37. > :26:43.north-west and the North East. Tomorrow, along -- the low-pressure

:26:43. > :26:47.dies in situ. Perhaps some of the overnight rain landing for our time,

:26:47. > :26:52.but it will die away to leave a large lead Friday. A lot of cloud

:26:52. > :26:56.in the morning, but further west shore, the better of the chance of

:26:56. > :27:00.seeing some brightness and sunshine. Temperatures, and highs of seven or

:27:00. > :27:05.eight Celsius, normal for the time of year. The wind will be much

:27:05. > :27:09.lighter, just a gentle north to north-easterly to model. Into the

:27:09. > :27:13.afternoon, chance of that cloud breaking to allow some sunshine

:27:13. > :27:17.through, although we will have some areas of thick cloud around.

:27:17. > :27:23.Wednesday, that from pitches in from the West, bringing some

:27:23. > :27:26.cloudier skies. From Thursday, high pressure building in. We'll have
