worried about paying her bills Counter terrorism officers swooped | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
on a housing estate in Luton today and arrested five men at five | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
separate addresses. All five are tonight being held in central | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
London.$$NEWLINE Officers from the Metropolitan Police and | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Bedfordshire Police launched their operation at seven o'clock this | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:08. | ||
morning. The addresses were all on the town's Bury Park Estate. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Scotland Yard said then men were arrested on "suspicion of the | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism". | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Let's get the latest now from our home affairs correspondent Sally | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
Chidzoy. Good evening from outside the high- | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
security Paddington Green police station in central London. This is | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
where the five men from Luton are being held. They were arrested, | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
police say, early this morning, around 7am, on suspicion of the | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. They are aged between | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
21 and 35. They were picked up from five house is a cross Luton, from | :01:49. | :01:58. | |
five roads. This was a block of flats where they took one of the | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
men out. This is being seen as significant, but the public were | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
not in imminent danger. Let's say These raids were part of a breed | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
planned intelligence led operation. These arrests formed part of the | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
operation Nimrod, linked to search is on five properties in Luton. In | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
September, no arrests were made. All five addresses will be | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
thoroughly searched for the next 24 hours and close family members | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
linked to those who have been arrested have been asked to leave | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
those premises to facilitate the borough and forensic searches by | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
police officers. Meanwhile the men will continue to be arrested here | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
at the police station behind me. Police, under the Terrorism Act, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
can hold these men for up to 48 hours then they can apply for a | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
series of extensions up to 14 days. In Luton tonight, the police are | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
continuing their search of houses on the Bury Park Estate, and | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
there's also concern locally at a planned march by the English | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
Defence League. For Luton and the people who live | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
here, a sense of deja-vu. Same five addresses, same five people | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
arrested as in raids six months ago. Little further understanding as to | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
what it means. 23-year-old Umar Arshad lives with his wife, a six- | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
month-old son and extended family. They have said it is in relation to | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
the previous arrest warrants and search warrants they had. That is | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
all they can tell us, nothing else. Very annoying. I have been in | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
contact with the previous team that came in September on a regular | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
basis to obtain the property back, but under these laws they can do | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
what they want and how they want to. But it is specifically your brother | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
they are interested in? Yes, that's right. Did they tell you why? | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
they have just confirmed that he had a certain number of friends, | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
who they have also arrested, and that is about it. Are they friends | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
you approve of? They are not even his friends. I told the officers | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
this as well, they have been seen together because they trained in | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the same gym and they go to the mosque like every other person, but | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
they are not specific, socialising friends. I have print to their | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
houses, has spoken to their families and they have confirmed | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
that they had never heard of my brother all seen him. The | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
individuals confirmed they have seen each other, but they are not | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
really friends. This is not the first can do term as an operation | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
on the streets of Luton. -- counter-terrorism operation. There | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
believes have links to the so- called Luton sell who were plotting | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
simultaneous bomb attacks in New York and London before their arrest | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
in 2004. The Stockholm bomber, seemingly a loan operative, also | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
live with his wife and child in Luton. The extremism has been | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
countered with extremism and the birth of the English Defence League. | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
Take them off our streets! We can go to Westminster now and | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
speak to the Luton South MP Gavin Shuker. How worried are you as the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
local MP that where for another English Defence League march coming | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
soon and these arrests but today that tensions are rising again? | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
Obviously, I am glad to see that this police operation went | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
peacefully today. It seems to have been well planned and executed. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
What I would say is that we are coming into a period of time, the | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
next 10 days or so, running up to the English Defence League Marg, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
where residents have to stand up and say they do not want to be | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
involved in extremism of any kind. My fear is the events of today | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
might serve those people who would want to promote extremism within | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
our town. We hear that in Bury Park Estate itself, there is concern | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
their voice is not being heard, especially with the march coming up, | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
and they would be tempted to join anti-fascist protests? On May 5th, | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
we are going to have protests from the English Defence League and from | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
those that oppose them. My message to people would be really clear: | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
The best way we can respond to the threat of extremism of all types is | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
to go about our everyday lives on a 5th. I am sure there will be many | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
people that want to come at a protest against the English Defence | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
League, and they understand that motivation, but I want to be clear | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
that actually despite the many stories about Luton been a home for | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
extremism, by and large the vast majority of residents just want to | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
get along and they feared that will provide a great opportunity, if we | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
are wise about it, to show that. remember talking to you at the time | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
of the last March a year ago and a lot of work has been done in the | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
community since then. How concerned by your debt that will now be | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
undone? You are right to say that there has been a lot of work been | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
done by local face groups, local authorities and local residents. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
The key thing is for us to safeguard that. But there was a | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
threat, we all recognise it, last year from the English Defence | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
League march and the results around it. I don't want this to be | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
complacent and to imagine that everything will be fine this time | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
around. That is why the police are engaging properly with protesters | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
and why the local authority is taking a lead in this to make sure | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
we have a peaceful day. Thank you very much. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
In other news tonight, the phone company Talk Talk is closing its | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
call centre in Northampton. 170 jobs are under threat. The news | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
comes just days after the clothing company Aquascutum in nearby Corby | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
went bust. The details now from our Northamptonshire reporter, Stuart | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Ratcliffe. Stuart, what's the latest on the situation at | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Aquascutum? Talk Talk's offices are on the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
second floor of this building and they said it needs to close the | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Northampton call -- call-centre because it needs to simplify its | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
operations. The news has come out of the blue because Talk Talk had | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
said last year that the Northampton call centre was safe. The news | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
about the job losses comes at a time when a new exhibition has | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
opened in Northampton this week which is all about job creation. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Unemployment in Northampton now stands at 4.3 %, just above the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
national average. But the council here is convinced that the medium | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
to long-term outlook for the town is pausing. This week it laid out | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
an interactive map of the town showcasing 15 regeneration projects, | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
and in terms of jobs their biggest hope is the town's proposed | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Enterprise Zone, designed to be a hub for engineering. The council | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
says it has the potential to eventually deliver 17,000 new jobs | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
will stock the enterprise zone is the largest in the country, very | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
important for our local economy. Another major scheme is the long | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
awaited plans to double the size of the town's shopping centre. These | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
plans have been on the drawing board for more than 15 years. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
these types of projects, they are so big and complicated. You can see | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the scale of what is proposed and they do take some time to get going. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Northampton has taken a bit of time to get there, but we are at that | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
point where we are starting to fly. It will be our job, particularly | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
when we are facing economic austerity across the country, to | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
really push into the economic prosperity of Northamptonshire. It | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
is up to was to push it and make sure that at least a good number of | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
these projects you see here today come to fruition. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
The brewer Carlsberg is committed to a new multi-million-pound | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
bottling plant in the town, also a promising sign. Back at the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
exhibition, with dates printed on the floors as to when many plants | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
will get underway perhaps there is a growing sense that this vision of | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
the future is a vision that is getting that bit closer. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
There might be a glimmer of hope for the workers in Corby. Yesterday | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
the BBC spoke to the investor from Manchester who impressed -- has | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
expressed an interest in buying across Britain. We believe he will | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
go to the factory on Thursday to meet with administrators. Everybody, | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
the unions and workers, are hoping a deal can be done. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Thank you very much. There's lots more to come on Look | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
East, including the political fall- out from Nadine Dorries' swipe at | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
the Prime Minister. If you are out and about tomorrow, | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
watch out for some heavy rain. The full forecast later. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
And Kevin Burch meets our newest millionaire. | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
We are in deepest Essex and it is wet and miserable, but there is one | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
person in here who is incredibly happy and it is all to do with this, | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
a bumper cheque. She is duly stars, a single mum and has always had to | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
worry about money, until now. -- 27 people were arrested this | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
morning in drugs raids in four of our counties. Several hundred | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
officers took part. It's been described as one the biggest drugs | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
operations here in recent years. This morning was not about knocking | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
:12:01. | :12:08. | ||
on doors. It was about breaking Go, go, go! We Here officers move | :12:08. | :12:17. | |
from room to room. Upstairs, they find someone there. Moments later, | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
handcuffed, he is led away, arrested on suspicion to conspiracy | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
to supply drugs. Dozens of doors were bashed in | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
using wannabes at exactly the same time, 7am. -- one of these are. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Elite 300 officers from Cambridgeshire took part. 150 in | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Northamptonshire. Once in the planning, this was the largest | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
drugs operation in the region recently. In Northamptonshire, 10 | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
people were arrested in five paces. In Cambridgeshire, 15 arrests. In | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
all, nearly a dozen raids. In Essex, one arrest, one in Chelmsford and | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
another near Bury St Edmunds. we have got the convictions, we | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
will be looking to take their houses, cars, money, as we are | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
allowed to do so and making them having a miserable summer. We want | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
to stop spreading the misery and addiction and Cambridge share. | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
Suspected cocaine dealers were the target and officers also found a | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
cannabis back to bowl stop their aim was to break up what they | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
believe is organised drugs dealing. They are thought to be making vast | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
amounts of money. The director of nursing at the | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
James Paget Hospital in Gorleston has left after just eight months in | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
the job. Carole Crocker is said to be "pursuing other opportunities" | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
within the health service. Last week the new chief executive said | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
he would be looking to make changes to the management. An interim | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
director of nursing starts next week. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Tributes have been paid today to 18-year-old Dale Carlier who died | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
after a car hit a wall at Billericay in Essex on Saturday. Mr | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Carlier was from Hutton, near Brentwood. His family said he was | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
always well dressed kept himself extremely fit and hoped to become a | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
police officer. A former bouncer from Essex accused | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
of killing his ex-partner and their daughter has been described in | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
court as a Jekyll and Hyde character. David Oakes denies | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
killing Christine and Shania Chambers in June last year. A | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
jury's been told how his relationship with Miss Chambers had | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
ended and they were fighting for custody of Shania. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Amanda Thompson, the woman in the blue scarf, lived next door to | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
Christine Chambers. This morning she was in court to give evidence. | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
She was questioned by a lawyer who is the man on the right. He is the | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
QC leading the prosecution. She told the jury she saw Christine | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Chambers most days in Braintree, the street where they lived and | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
where the shootings happened. She said David Oakes had been kind to | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
her, but she described him as a Jekyll and Hyde character. | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Then she told the jury that David Oakes had been violent towards | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Christine Chambers. She had had to lend her friend make-up to cover up | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
black eyes. She said on one occasion, Christine Chambers was at | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
her house when David Oakes appeared and tracked her by the hair all the | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
way back to their house. She was asked if she had heard gunshots on | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
the night that Christine and Shania Chambers died and she said no. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
This is David Oakes at an earlier court hearing. His face shows the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
injuries he suffered when he turned the shotgun on himself. The jury | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
has been told he was devastated his relationship with Christine | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
Chambers was over. He told her if she was not with him, she would not | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
be with anyone else. He denies murder, saying the first shots in | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
the house that night last June were fired by Christine Chambers. The | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
trial continues. The owners of car manufacturer | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
Lotus Group say they have not decided to sell the company which | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
is based in Norfolk. Malaysian corporation DRB Hicom said it was | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
undertaking an operations audit on Lotus. But it said it didn't know | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
the source of speculation that it was selling the brand to China | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
:16:25. | :16:27. | ||
Youngman. It's also denied it would put Lotus in administration. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
Work is underway to clean the panels of stained glass at | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Blickling Hall near Aylsham. 12 panels are being removed as part of | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
the final stage of a restoration project. | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
12 a stained-glass panels dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
today carefully removed from the place in the window taken down to | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
be cleaned and preserved. I have it. This fall is no different from your | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
domestic call -- home and you have to paint your doors and windows | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
because if you don't, they would be great and caused a much larger | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
problem in the end. A couple of them have been degrading this week | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
and water has penetrated so we need to keep a close watch on what is | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
happening to the glass. The glass panels in Blickling Hall | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
have been there for hundreds of years, originating from Europe, and | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
the emerging from Norwich. These are internationally important | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
panels, mainly German. They were installed in protective ways, to | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
protect them from cycles of consent -- condensation which damage them. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
We are finding residue of resin and wax on the surface which we are | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
cleaning off with a scalpel, and swaps of acetone. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
After the cleaning process, each panel is photographed, catalogue | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
and put back into its original position. This latest spring-clean | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
marks the final stage of a bigger project to preserve the hall. All | :17:56. | :18:06. | |
:18:06. | :18:11. | ||
12 panels are expected to be placed There's been a mixed reaction today | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
to yesterday's attack on the Prime Minister by the Bedfordshire MP | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Nadine Dorries. You'll remember she called Mr Cameron and his | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
Chancellor George Osbourne "arrogant posh boys" out of touch | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
with real people. The Conservative Association in Nadine Dorries's | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
constituency said her views did not represent the local party. But some | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
voters in her Mid Bedfordshire constituency supported what she had | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
to say and today, other Tory MPs in the region said they were worried | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
about the government's recent performance. Our political | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
correspondent Andrew Sinclair is here. | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
I think not only are camera and was buoyed two posh boys who do not | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
know the price of milk, but they are two arrogance posh boys forced | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
of Nadine Dorries says she is a passionate conservative who cares | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
about her party. Her her attack on the Prime Minister and Chancellor... | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
She should not have said it, but I do agree with the meaning behind it. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
I would expect someone working for me to have a bit of authority. | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
don't think they have got a clue what it is like to have to worry | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
about where the next meal might come from. I think they are rich | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
boys who have been privileged, not many people off. I agree, good on | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
her. If I was a leader and she was one of my team, I would look pretty | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
dimly at what she said. Nadine Dorries has always had a | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
reputation in her constituency for speaking her mind. She told the BBC | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
last year she has always caused controversy because she believes | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
passionately about issues. But today her local Conservative | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
Association was keen to distance itself from a comments, saying she | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
expressed a personal opinions and it would have been courteous to | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
advise the Association prior to expand in them. And they are not | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
the only ones. A fellow Tory backbencher says she is wrong. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
think it was misplaced. The government is doing things that are | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
helping people who are doing the right thing, who are -- we want to | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
get on in life, things like capping benefits, making sure it always | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
pays to work. But some commentators say the | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
Conservative Party is losing direction. Once the local elections | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
are over, I hope David Cameron will sit down with some of his critics, | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
listen to what they have said and try and produce a more of a | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
balanced inclusive Conservative Party. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Nadine Dorries remains unrepentant. She says she wants the heart of | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
government to reflect true Conservative principles. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is here. How widespread | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
are Nadine Dorries' views among our local MPs? Most MPs think that | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
Nadine Dorries went too far yesterday in her criticisms, but | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
with one exception every MP from the region who I have spoken to | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
today understands where she is coming from and has a fair degree | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
of sympathy. There is a feeling within the party that the | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
government is losing his grip, and this is not coming from the usual | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
suspects, this is coming from Cameron loyalists. One senior MP | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
said if we cannot get our act together soon, this will be | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
terminal. A senior peer from the region said, Margaret Thatcher | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
always knew he had to think about the sea ones and the tours. David | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
Cameron does not get out. Another MP said, Cameron and Osborne have | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
done it in two years what it took seven years today previously. Some | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
regions are having face-to-face conversations with the Prime | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Minister about this and I am told he is listening. It seems as though | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
the list of backbenchers who are unhappy with the government is | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
growing by the day. Yes, and a lot of them seem to be from our region. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Last week, another MP who criticise the but on this programme was | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
publicly slapped down in the Commons. He asked what most people | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
thought was sensible, but this is what the Prime Minister set. | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
There are few occasions where I think the Honourable Gentleman does | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
need a sense of humour. Just listen to the billing and | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
gasps of surprise. Another MP said at the weekend that she thought | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
David Cameron needs to take his backbenchers Mork see it -- | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
seriously. Then we have got all those Euro-sceptic MPs from | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Northamptonshire. Why does this matter? Because the upset | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
backbenchers can be a nuisance for the government and cannot find up | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
to birds, can ask awkward questions and no prime minister wants to go. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Thank you very much. Julie Styles is a single mum with | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
two children who is the first to admit that it's been a bit of a | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
struggle making ends meet. But not anymore, because Julie, who's from | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
Essex, has just scooped �1.6 million on the lottery. Kevin Burch | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
has been to meet a very happy lady. His report does contain some flash | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
photography. First in, the big cheque followed | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
closely by the big winner. The tears came courtesy of Julie's | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
family at the back of the room who, she says, will be well looked after, | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
although at first they thought she was having a laugh when she broke | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
the news that she was �1,645,000 richer. They did not believe me it | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
worse -- at first and thought it was an April Fool's. But I was | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
still in shock. Any plans for the money? I'm frightened, but that is | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
only natural, I suppose. It is daunting. I have just increased my | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
hours are worked because we needed the money. Life changing. That | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
life-changing moment came thanks to wait lotto ticket bought on Friday | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
13th. She did not take it until one week later and at first thought her | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
winnings would be modest fall start I thought I had won about 4,000 or | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
�5,000. In the meantime, my sister had rung up and said that I had all | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
the numbers. Even when you thought you had won a few 1,000, he was so | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
shocked that you did not take you shopping! Yes, my sister had to go | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
back and pay for it for me! What was the feeling when you found that | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
was my shock, I kept saying, oh my God. | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
I could not believe it, I was fishing at the time. I had to keep | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
it from my friends who were down there. So happy for her, she is | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
struggling and it's amazing. says the good things don't happen | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
to people like her. There is only one question left and that is where | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
are we going for lunch? The Ritz! That would be nice. Are you paying | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
or am I? I will pay! Among the real spending priorities | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
will be a holiday, they had already bought one in November at Butlins. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Julie admits she would not mind going somewhere hot in the meantime. | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Great story, well done to them. would all like to go somewhere hot | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
at the moment. It will not be very Quite a bit of rain around, a lot | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
of rainfall recently. A mortar just got caught out in Essex this | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
morning when her car was a sum matched in rising flood water | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
caused by persistent overnight rain. Also a family in St Mary near | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Ipswich found that they are beautiful oak tree was struck by | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
lightning on Saturday evening. Luckily it was not near the house | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
so it did not cause any damage. No one was in the vicinity. This | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
unsettled weather will continue because as this area of low | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
pressure moves away, there is another one lining up ready to | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
bring some wet and windy weather for tomorrow. Our satellite image | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
shows we are getting clearing skies. A risk of showers out there, but | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
much of the night will be dry with clear intervals to start. Later in | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
the night, it will turn increasingly cloudy in the south- | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
west corner and we could see some brain appearing around dawn. For | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
the first part of the night, temperatures could dip to around | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
three degrees. We should be frost- free with a light wind. Tomorrow, | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
here is our low pressure Swinney in from the Atlantic. You will see the | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
isobars on the chart are tightly packed so it will bring us some | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
strong winds. A wet and windy day is what is expected, and fairly | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
cloudy conditions as well. Outbreaks of rain in the morning | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
could produce a lot of surface water on the roads, making driving | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
conditions challenging. There could be some heavy rain where the dark | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
colours of. We have not got any particularly cold air withers so | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
the temperatures could reach double figures, not likely to see much | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
sunshine. Strong winds, particularly around coastal areas, | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
where they could touch near gale force. As the rain clears, it will | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
give way to shop those could turn a thundery. That is the theme for the | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
next few days. A couple of days of showers, some turning a thundery, | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
still breathing. Saturday looks mostly dry with some rain turning | :27:25. | :27:31. |
