:00:06. > :00:12.The first hosepipe ban in 20 years for much of the region. The details

:00:12. > :00:16.on how it will affect you. Hello and welcome to the programme. Also

:00:16. > :00:24.tonight: An explosion rips apart this house in the Fens. The reason?

:00:24. > :00:27.Metal thieves. Ruddy saves the day and salvages a point for Norwich.

:00:27. > :00:37.And the struggle to get on the housing ladder. We have one

:00:37. > :00:43.

:00:43. > :00:46.Hello. First tonight, after months of speculation it's official. A

:00:46. > :00:51.hosepipe ban will kick in across large parts of the East from April

:00:51. > :00:55.5th. So who will be affected? Basically customers who are

:00:55. > :00:59.supplied by the big two. Anglian Water, which stretches from

:00:59. > :01:01.Northamptonshire in the West to the coast of Norfolk in the East. And

:01:01. > :01:06.Veolia Central, the old Three Valleys Water, which covers a large

:01:06. > :01:09.part of West Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. At the moment

:01:09. > :01:12.Cambridge Water, Essex and Suffolk and Veolia East have stopped short

:01:12. > :01:22.of an outright ban, but they are urging customers to limit the water

:01:22. > :01:27.

:01:27. > :01:32.they use. Nikki Jenkins reports now from Grafham Water. Under grey, but

:01:32. > :01:36.dry skies, Grafham Water looks deaccept tifrly full and it is.

:01:36. > :01:41.are about 69% full. But our aim is to use this resource and make sure

:01:41. > :01:48.we can use it across the region. We're going to move more water from

:01:48. > :01:52.here to other areas. Other reservoirs are well down and

:01:53. > :01:58.Anglian will need to pump treated water from here to Northampton and

:01:58. > :02:03.Milton Keynes. Today the environment minister praised the

:02:03. > :02:07.east for being well prepared. drainage boards have filled up

:02:07. > :02:11.their dykes with water and for this time of year, they're unusually

:02:12. > :02:17.high. That is part of making sure we build resilience in this dry

:02:17. > :02:23.part of the country. Over the last two years the region has had 35

:02:23. > :02:27.centimetres less rain than normal. Last month saw only a third of the

:02:27. > :02:32.expected rain. But what you see is not the full story. It what is is

:02:32. > :02:37.happening under the ground that is happening and ground water levels

:02:38. > :02:46.at near historic lows. Forget 76, the region is drier than at any

:02:46. > :02:52.time since 1921 and this will be the first house pipe ban in 0 years.

:02:53. > :02:57.Veolia will introduce its ban on 5th April. It won't be April. We

:02:57. > :03:02.may introduce them in May or June, depending on how wet March and

:03:02. > :03:08.April is. Until then we won't know where we stand. The last hosepipe

:03:08. > :03:13.ban was in place for more than a year. No one know how long it will

:03:13. > :03:18.take levels to recover this time. Peter Simpson is the Managing

:03:18. > :03:21.Director of Anglian Water. He's at Grafham now. I thought you were

:03:21. > :03:25.hopeful you could get through summer without a ban. So why are

:03:25. > :03:30.you doing it? Well it is important that we react to the fact that we

:03:30. > :03:34.have had two very dry winters. What we're focused on is that we may

:03:34. > :03:39.have a third dry winter and we need to make sure we do everything we

:03:39. > :03:44.can this period now to ensure we have water supplies for next summer.

:03:44. > :03:49.The last time we spoke, you said you were selling 13% of your water.

:03:49. > :03:53.So shouldn't you stop doing that before you impose a ban? Well there

:03:53. > :03:57.is a lot of co-operation between water companies. We're identifying

:03:57. > :04:01.opportunities to bring water into the region from our neighbours in

:04:01. > :04:07.Severn Trent and one scheme that we're looking it to bring water

:04:07. > :04:12.from Yorkshire into the area to reduce the amount of water we

:04:12. > :04:16.export. So we're maximising the use of the interconnectivety is an

:04:16. > :04:20.important opportunity and we will look at that to think about the

:04:20. > :04:27.impact on next summer. How come some companies are not introducing

:04:27. > :04:31.a ban and some are? Well as you probably can't see, because it is

:04:31. > :04:36.dark here, but Grafham is full and you could see customer here are

:04:36. > :04:41.fine. But what we're doing is transferring water from full

:04:41. > :04:45.reservoirs to areas which are under more stress. So the reality is

:04:45. > :04:49.different parts are affected differently. We're trying to Ba

:04:49. > :04:53.thrans resource across the entire area. The last time we had a ban, I

:04:53. > :04:59.remember the companies put up a helicopter, a spy in the sky, how

:04:59. > :05:06.will you police it. Will you have a helicopter? A ban is trying to send

:05:06. > :05:12.a signal to customer that we want them to take their part of this and

:05:12. > :05:18.be efficient. We're driving our leakage levers low and the hosepipe

:05:18. > :05:21.ban is a signal. It would be impossible to police every single

:05:21. > :05:26.person. What we're expecting people is to apply common-sense and just

:05:26. > :05:31.think about how they are using their water. We had some heavy rain

:05:31. > :05:38.last week. We had a month's worth in a day. If we got that again

:05:38. > :05:42.would you still have the ban? The reality is we're coming to the

:05:42. > :05:47.end of the recharge season now. So a lot of rain that falls in the

:05:47. > :05:52.summer won't make that much difference to the surface or ground

:05:52. > :05:55.waters. Once we're at the end of the recharge season the rain has

:05:55. > :06:00.much less impact than between October and March. And the message

:06:00. > :06:05.from you is don't use it, or you will lose it. Thank you for being

:06:05. > :06:09.with us. How will the hosepipe ban affect you? We'd love to hear your

:06:09. > :06:12.thoughts and stories. You can get in touch by phone, e-mail, or via

:06:12. > :06:15.the Look East Facebook page. A manhunt is underway in Milton

:06:15. > :06:18.Keynes after a woman was abducted and raped. She got into what she

:06:18. > :06:25.thought was a taxi early on Saturday morning. The driver then

:06:25. > :06:29.took her to an industrial estate where the attack happened. It

:06:29. > :06:33.should have been a normal Friday night out. But it ended with a

:06:34. > :06:40.woman saying she'd been raped. The woman had been out for a night in

:06:40. > :06:46.Milton Keynes. Most of the town's pub and clubs are based or around

:06:46. > :06:50.this building. She was looking for a taxi home and made her way to the

:06:50. > :06:58.estate and put out her hand and a car stopped. Because she thought it

:06:58. > :07:03.was a taxi she got in. But some time later, the a -- the driver

:07:03. > :07:09.attack here. In 2004 a came bripbt student was murdered after getting

:07:09. > :07:14.into a car with its driver saying he was a taxy. And then a man

:07:14. > :07:18.picked up a woman at Bedford station and said he was the cab she

:07:18. > :07:24.was waited for before assaulting her. If I was going out and got a

:07:24. > :07:28.taxi, I would rather go to a taxi rank or get a black taxi, than get

:07:28. > :07:35.in a random car that may say something. But life shouldn't be

:07:35. > :07:42.like that. It does put me off. Now I'm driving, I don't like to go out

:07:42. > :07:49.and drive. But I would. If I had to get a taxi on my own, I would stay

:07:49. > :07:53.on the phone. But you need to be safe. Ask the taxi driver for

:07:53. > :07:59.identification. They should be, it should be on display. There should

:07:59. > :08:04.be a photograph of the driver, his number will be there and his name.

:08:04. > :08:08.And they won't mind giving it over? Absolutely. What have they got to

:08:08. > :08:12.hide? The police say women shouldn't be alarmed, but advise

:08:12. > :08:17.them to be vigilant. While the information is in its early stages,

:08:18. > :08:20.they're appealing for anyone with information to come forward. Metal

:08:20. > :08:24.thieves are being blamed for an explosion which destroyed a

:08:24. > :08:28.bungalow in Cambridgeshire. It's believed a gas pipe had been torn

:08:28. > :08:35.out. Experts warn such thefts are becoming more common. And it's only

:08:35. > :08:41.a matter of time before someone is killed. The police say it was sheer

:08:41. > :08:46.luck that no one died or was seriously injured. Bung alow

:08:46. > :08:50.reduced to rubble in the explosion. I was woken at 1am with a loud bang

:08:50. > :08:55.and then we saw blue lights. Ran to the front of the house and the

:08:55. > :08:58.whole place was in flames. It is lucky it went off at 1 o'clock in

:08:58. > :09:05.the morning, not 8 o'clock. People would have been injured. Neighbours

:09:05. > :09:09.went to help the couple who live in the adjoining bung alow.

:09:09. > :09:16.Firefighters managed to stop the flames, but their home has been

:09:16. > :09:21.damaged. This explosion, well it was awful and he came out and said,

:09:21. > :09:26.quick, the room is falling to bits. It's all gone into my bed ram.

:09:26. > :09:30.I caught fire, I thought we ought to get out. It was so frightening.

:09:30. > :09:33.The house is owned by a housing association and had been empty for

:09:33. > :09:37.system time and was being renovated the police have said that copper

:09:37. > :09:45.pipes had been reported stolen from the house. They and fire

:09:45. > :09:48.investigators are assuming a gas pipe was damaged or removed. It is

:09:48. > :09:51.becoming an issue in the area. People that are doing these thefts

:09:51. > :09:57.have got no consideration for the damage they're going to leave

:09:57. > :10:03.behind and in this case, fortunately it didn't result in

:10:03. > :10:09.serious injury. I thought it was a bomb. But it was scary. It was

:10:09. > :10:13.scary. An investigation is now underway into the explosion. Later

:10:13. > :10:23.in the programme: All the football from the weekend and the struggle

:10:23. > :10:25.

:10:25. > :10:28.to get on the housing ladder - one BT has apologised to about 200

:10:28. > :10:31.people in Suffolk who have been getting phone calls for other

:10:31. > :10:33.people, but none for themselves. The trouble started in an

:10:33. > :10:37.underground cable after the heavy rain last week. Debbie Tubby has

:10:37. > :10:47.been to Oulton Broad to meet some of the people living with a

:10:47. > :10:47.

:10:48. > :10:53.permanently crossed line. Hello? I can ring out on my phone. But I

:10:53. > :10:58.can't sech calls. Stephen relies on his phone for his plumbing business.

:10:58. > :11:02.He can dial out and receive calls, but they're not his. They're

:11:02. > :11:07.someone else's. We have got several wrong number and we thought it was

:11:07. > :11:13.fun y and talked to other people and realised several people were

:11:13. > :11:19.affected. So everyone had the wrong number. Stephen uses his land line

:11:19. > :11:27.to phone his own mobile phone. And it is not his telephone number. It

:11:27. > :11:34.is David's, who lives two streets away. I get a beep and that is it.?

:11:34. > :11:39.His daughter har has tried to phone from Canada. We didn't receive

:11:39. > :11:47.anything, but Stephen across the road, he did receive all our

:11:47. > :11:51.recorded messages. And he Pazed them on to us. The fault was caused

:11:51. > :11:57.by water getting into an underground cable. In a statement,

:11:57. > :12:06.BT said it apologises and they are trying to refair fault, which does

:12:06. > :12:11.include crossed lines. -- repair the fault. They are keen to get the

:12:11. > :12:15.problem fixed. Three cannabis growing operations in Essex have

:12:15. > :12:19.been shut down following dawn raids. A farm at Woodham Mortimer near

:12:19. > :12:22.Maldon was one of four addresses raided by the police. They also

:12:22. > :12:28.targeted an industrial unit and two homes. A 50-year-old man has been

:12:28. > :12:31.arrested. A man has been charged after two mobile phones were thrown

:12:31. > :12:34.into the grounds of Chelmsford Prison. The police have been aware

:12:34. > :12:37.of an on going problem of items being thrown to inmates from

:12:37. > :12:42.neighbouring streets. The 49-year- old from Romford is due in court

:12:42. > :12:45.next week. A former council tip near Ipswich has been closed,

:12:45. > :12:48.because not enough people were prepared to pay to dump their

:12:48. > :12:51.rubbish. A private company took over the site at Bramford six

:12:51. > :13:01.months ago, but despite introducing a charge, managers say they

:13:01. > :13:03.

:13:03. > :13:09.couldn't make it pay. Gaye was one of the last people to use the

:13:09. > :13:12.centre and paid �6 to get rid of some guaranteed rubbish. But not

:13:12. > :13:18.enough did the same. The company who took over the site from the

:13:18. > :13:23.council was losing �3,000 a month and has said enough is enough.

:13:23. > :13:28.make the money on the valuable recyclables and don't cover the

:13:28. > :13:33.cost now. So we have had to call a day on it. It is a six month trial

:13:33. > :13:39.that we did with the local parish and we wanted to provide the

:13:39. > :13:45.service and it didn't work out. ford's problem was a council tip in

:13:45. > :13:50.Ipswich doesn't charge. Won't you pay? Not �6 for lilt amount I have

:13:50. > :13:57.got. But hole elors are unhappy that the experiment didn't work and

:13:57. > :14:04.they have to travel and queue at other sites. The council was wrong.

:14:04. > :14:10.I feel so. We fought that case and we fought long and hard and

:14:10. > :14:13.basically couldn't make the point. But I believe the council's wrong.

:14:13. > :14:18.Suffolk County Council said a charity run site in Newmarket and

:14:18. > :14:24.this private centre are profitable. It says it is committed to

:14:24. > :14:26.providing the right solution for each area. The veteran singer Sir

:14:26. > :14:29.Tom Jones is to stage another concert at Newmarket racecourse

:14:29. > :14:33.this year. The 71-year-old's star appearance there last summer was a

:14:33. > :14:41.sell out. Now he's been booked for a second open air concert on August

:14:41. > :14:44.10th. Sport now and Tom Williams is here with all the football and a

:14:44. > :14:49.little bit of athletics. Norwich City are edging closer to safety in

:14:49. > :14:52.the Premier League. They drew 1-1 draw with Wigan yesterday,

:14:52. > :14:55.surrendering an advantage. But they're up to 12th with a 14-point

:14:55. > :15:03.cushion over the bottom three. Ten games to go. The manager says he

:15:03. > :15:09.games to go. The manager says he won't relax until they're safe. A

:15:09. > :15:14.win for Norwich would have moved them into the top eight and three

:15:14. > :15:24.points closer to safety and with Wigan's dismal record, they were

:15:24. > :15:31.expecting big fans. Within ten minutes Norwich led 1-0. Hoolahan

:15:31. > :15:37.scoring. Wigan have struggled Tor score this season, but Moses fuend

:15:37. > :15:43.Rodallega who could only find the keeper. Norwich had a shout for a

:15:43. > :15:48.penalty, but ball to hand said the referee. In the second half, Holt

:15:48. > :15:54.caused problems, but couldn't score. Wigan came to life, only Ruddy

:15:54. > :16:01.keeping Norwich on terms. But Moses used his pace to cut through the

:16:01. > :16:10.defence and round Ruddy. At 1-1, both sides could have won. But the

:16:10. > :16:14.Norwich No 1 perform well. Neither side could win it. Wigan are a good

:16:14. > :16:18.side and I knew it would be one of the hardest games of season.

:16:18. > :16:22.Everyone would expect us to win. But if you can't win a game, make

:16:22. > :16:28.sure you don't lose it. We may have won it at the death. The keeper

:16:28. > :16:31.made some great saves, but we're on 36 points and have done very well.

:16:31. > :16:35.In the Championship, Paul Jewell felt the pitch at the KC Stadium

:16:35. > :16:38.was abysmal so a point wasn't a bad return. Especially as Hull went 2-0

:16:38. > :16:42.up on Saturday. Robbie Brady's deflected shot put them ahead.

:16:42. > :16:46.Robert Koren doubled the lead. But the game changed on a penalty. A

:16:46. > :16:56.foul on Tommy Smith. Grant Leadbitter scored. And the goal of

:16:56. > :17:01.the game came from Leadbitter three minutes later. 2-2. He struck it

:17:01. > :17:06.well, the keep we are will be disappointed, but it was a good

:17:06. > :17:16.strike and even taking the penalty, showed he has bottle and I thought

:17:16. > :17:19.second half we were the better team. Just one defeat in eight for

:17:19. > :17:22.Colchester in League One, but a goalless draw at Wycombe didn't

:17:22. > :17:24.help their play-off push. Steven Gillespie had the best chance. The

:17:24. > :17:27.U's are eight points off the top six. Southend, who've today

:17:27. > :17:30.extended Jack Sampson's loan, are clinging on to their automatic

:17:30. > :17:33.promotion spot - just. But the manager said their 2-2 draw felt

:17:33. > :17:36.like a defeat. Accrington ahead. Luke Prosser and Elliot Benyon put

:17:36. > :17:42.the Blues 2-1 up before Accrington, who had a man sent off, equalised

:17:42. > :17:45.in the last minute. Southend are third. At the World Indoor

:17:45. > :17:49.Athletics Championships, Andrew Osagie from Harlow won bronze in

:17:49. > :17:51.the men's 800 metres. Great finish, stealing third on the line. Robbie

:17:51. > :17:54.Grabarz from Cambridgeshire came sixth in the high jump. His

:17:54. > :18:01.clearance of 2.31 metres just two centimetres short of the winning

:18:01. > :18:03.jump. And on Late Kick Off tonight, the team will take a closer look at

:18:03. > :18:05.some of the off-the-pitch issues affecting our footballers. Ipswich

:18:05. > :18:15.and Southend have certainly had quite public disciplinary problems

:18:15. > :18:17.

:18:17. > :18:19.this season. You put 16 men toogt in a hotel, over night, they're

:18:19. > :18:25.in a hotel, over night, they're children. And I don't care whether

:18:25. > :18:31.it was in my day or today. When you get to the bottom leagues, if

:18:31. > :18:41.they're still on 3,000 pound a week. That is a lot of money to control.

:18:41. > :18:43.

:18:43. > :18:46.More on that in Late Kick Off Next tonight the government's

:18:46. > :18:50.latest efforts to kick-start the housing market. But will they work

:18:50. > :18:54.here in the east? There is no doubt we've got a problem in this region.

:18:54. > :18:57.Last year 5,000 new people were accepted as being homeless. That's

:18:57. > :19:00.an increase of more than a quarter on the previous year. The number of

:19:00. > :19:06.families waiting for social housing is now 160,000 - up 69% over the

:19:06. > :19:10.last 10 years. And the Home Builders Federation claims we need

:19:10. > :19:13.to build 32,000 homes every year for the next 20 years to meet

:19:13. > :19:19.demand. At the moment we're building fewer than half that

:19:19. > :19:21.number. In a moment, the couple struggling to get on the housing

:19:21. > :19:31.ladder. But first this from our Political Correspondent, Andrew

:19:31. > :19:34.

:19:34. > :19:39.Sinclair. This Rose Wood Park, they are building 248 new homes here,

:19:39. > :19:43.most for the private market. A handful will be low cost housing.

:19:43. > :19:48.So great is the demand they expect them all to be occupied by the

:19:48. > :19:51.summer. But the industry said this is not enough. With we don't build

:19:51. > :19:56.more homes the problems will get worse and the social housing

:19:56. > :20:03.waiting list will get longer, the average price of housing will go up

:20:03. > :20:09.and it will be difficult for first time buyers. Say they the biggest

:20:09. > :20:14.need is in Colchester and Bedfordshire. But nearly every part

:20:14. > :20:18.isn't building enough homes. People stay at home with their parents

:20:18. > :20:22.longer and live on friends' sofa and we're seeing street

:20:22. > :20:27.homelessness come back. That is a sign that the system is cracking.

:20:27. > :20:34.Cathy and Daryl have moved into their new home after three years on

:20:34. > :20:38.the council waiting list. weren't being picky where we went,

:20:38. > :20:44.but every where we bidded only there was people in front of us and

:20:44. > :20:48.it was a constant frustration. Government does want to see more

:20:48. > :20:52.homes built. Today the Prime Minister launched a scheme that

:21:07. > :21:12.don't dispute the fi,, was -- - but it -- we don't dispute the figures,

:21:12. > :21:17.but it is important we build in the right places. We need it for health

:21:17. > :21:22.and well being of people and so it is important, because when it's

:21:22. > :21:32.gone, it's gone. The Government said it is committed to sustainable

:21:32. > :21:33.

:21:33. > :21:39.development, but says there is a need for more homes. For many of

:21:39. > :21:45.those would be first time buyers, it is the size of the deposit that

:21:45. > :21:49.is the obstacle. 20% can translate into thousands. Today a new

:21:49. > :21:53.guarantee scheme was launch Tods kick start the market. The idea

:21:53. > :22:00.comes from the Government and it is backed by the industry. Under the

:22:00. > :22:04.scheme some people can get a 95% mork. At e- mortgage. At this

:22:04. > :22:09.restaurants they pride themselves on using good local row deuce. The

:22:09. > :22:14.chef is at the sharp end of another local phenomenon, high property

:22:14. > :22:19.prices. At 32, he has been living with his parents for three years,

:22:19. > :22:25.attempting to save up for a leap on to the properties ladder. Now Steve

:22:25. > :22:31.and his his girlfriend, law a ra, working at a hotel, but study to be

:22:31. > :22:37.a archaeologist, are moving in to a new flat. Their joint income is

:22:37. > :22:44.around �40,000 a year, but they having to rent. With renting, you

:22:44. > :22:48.make -- can't make the house the home you need F you buy it, you can

:22:48. > :22:52.do it like you want. Renting, it is not your home and you don't feel

:22:52. > :22:57.that sense of satisfaction, until the day where we hopefully will

:22:57. > :23:01.purchase a house in the future. What about this scheme, what do you

:23:01. > :23:06.think of that It sounds like a great idea. If we had to put only

:23:06. > :23:14.5% on a depoz sits on the flat we're going to move into, that

:23:14. > :23:20.would be great news and would take us probably half the amount of time.

:23:20. > :23:28.The scheme aims to help 100,000 people buy a new build home. It

:23:28. > :23:33.will target home movers and first time buyers. At one estate agent

:23:33. > :23:38.buy-to-let business has been brisk, but the high deposit demands have

:23:38. > :23:42.hit hard. It has caused hardship for first and second time buyers.

:23:42. > :23:47.First time buyers are finding it difficult. As always with such

:23:47. > :23:51.schemes, the devil may be in the detail. But with the average age of

:23:51. > :23:58.first time buyers approaching 37 the Government says the scheme is

:23:58. > :24:02.just what the market needs. And we'll have more on housing on

:24:02. > :24:05.tomorrow night's programme. If we need thousands more houses, where

:24:05. > :24:15.are they all going to go? Another subject where we'd welcome your

:24:15. > :24:16.

:24:16. > :24:22.stories. If you contact us, please don't Fer get to leave a telephone

:24:22. > :24:28.number. Now the weather. -- don't number. Now the weather. -- don't

:24:28. > :24:31.forget. Well going back to our lead story on the drought. There is no

:24:31. > :24:36.sign of any rain and the dry conditions will continue through

:24:36. > :24:40.the week. We have a large area of high pressure that is sitting right

:24:40. > :24:44.over the UK. It is having the effect of blocking these weather

:24:44. > :24:49.systems from bringing us any rain and setting us into a holding

:24:49. > :24:55.pattern of weather. We will see that the conditions will be quite

:24:55. > :24:59.similar. It is bringing light winds and that has broughted sunshine and

:24:59. > :25:04.brightness, without the wind to mix the air up and we have found the

:25:04. > :25:09.foggy conditions from first thing that lifted into low level cloud

:25:09. > :25:15.and meant skies were overcast for much of the day. Those misty

:25:15. > :25:19.condition will return again tonight. Widespread across the region. But

:25:19. > :25:25.temperatures not too low. Tonight the winds will stay light and be

:25:25. > :25:33.variable in direction. But in term of our values, perhaps a low of

:25:33. > :25:38.four drug. -- four Celsius. Once more it will be a misty start

:25:38. > :25:43.tomorrow. A lot of cloud around and the jury's out on how much that

:25:43. > :25:47.cloud is going to thin and break. Where we find that cloud stays

:25:47. > :25:52.thick through the day, temperatures will probably not get higher than

:25:52. > :25:59.single first. So perhaps a high of seven for those areas. Where we get

:25:59. > :26:02.a break we could find temperatures up to 12 Celsius. That is 54

:26:02. > :26:06.Fahrenheit and again light and variable winds. And through the

:26:06. > :26:10.afternoon it will stay dry, perhaps some breaks in the cloud and

:26:10. > :26:14.perhaps a bit of brightness and sunshine. So lacking ahead to the

:26:14. > :26:20.rest of the week. For Thursday the high pressure repositions itself

:26:20. > :26:24.and by Thursday it is much further to the east and it moves south and

:26:24. > :26:29.that may draw in some drier air and the better chance of breaking up

:26:29. > :26:34.the cloud and seeing some sunshine. On Friday, the high pressure moves

:26:34. > :26:39.well away and these systems cowl in from the west and start to try and

:26:39. > :26:45.bring us some wet weather. But they look pretty weak and it is going to

:26:45. > :26:49.turn things cloudy. So the next five days are dry, a mild one,

:26:49. > :26:53.where we keep the cloudy conditions, it may be chilly. But with the

:26:53. > :26:58.sunshine it doesn't take much to warm thing up and get the

:26:58. > :27:03.temperatures up to perhaps 16 Celsius. So light winds, and lows
