:00:09. > :00:16.Welcome to look East. In the programme tonight: Norfolk gets a
:00:16. > :00:22.new head of children's services, but is she brittle enough to do the
:00:22. > :00:27.job? I don't like the word brutal, but I recognise that I'm very
:00:27. > :00:31.tenacious and very ruthless in terms of outcomes for children.
:00:32. > :00:34.Multi—million pound make over forward bridge.
:00:34. > :00:38.A big plant the waterfront is given the go—ahead. City slickers — why
:00:38. > :00:41.Norwich have been among the premiership big spenders this
:00:41. > :00:46.summer. And this man who has no heartbeat
:00:46. > :00:55.has his 17th pacemaker operation to keep him alive.
:00:55. > :00:59.First tonight — the new boss of children's services in Norfolk
:00:59. > :01:02.promises a better education for children and more support for
:01:02. > :01:07.families. Some would say Sheila Lock is walking into a perfect storm.
:01:07. > :01:12.Three critical reports from Ofsted in just six months. The latest,
:01:12. > :01:16.published today, gives a big thumbs down for the way children in care
:01:16. > :01:21.are looked after. The verdict: "inadequate" across the board. That
:01:21. > :01:24.led to a government demand for a "relentless focus" on improvement.
:01:24. > :01:32.This from our chief reporter Kim Riley.
:01:32. > :01:36.Back in March, Ofsted said it was worried that Norfolk schools were
:01:36. > :01:41.underperforming, slipping down toward the bottom of national league
:01:41. > :01:45.tables. Achievement levels across the different phases, primary,
:01:45. > :01:49.secondary, post—16, are not as good as they should be, and people think
:01:49. > :01:53.that because it is a nice, leafy, pretty part of the world, children
:01:53. > :01:59.are doing well. They are not. This high school was one of 28 given a
:01:59. > :02:02.snap inspection. It was one of six subsequent but the special
:02:02. > :02:07.measures, although Ofsted raised concerns about 17 schools. Now, a
:02:07. > :02:10.new blow for the beleaguered department of children's services.
:02:10. > :02:14.Today's report from Ofsted on children and caring no but rates the
:02:14. > :02:20.council's performance as inadequate. A letter from the government refers
:02:20. > :02:23.to widespread, systematic problems across children's services and
:02:23. > :02:28.warned it will intervene unless there is rapid and sustainable
:02:28. > :02:31.improvement. Five days into the job, a first television interview today
:02:31. > :02:35.for the new interim head of children's services. Sheila Lock
:02:35. > :02:39.comes with a reputation for straight talking and turning around for
:02:39. > :02:44.performing authorities. The letter today it at me about widespread
:02:44. > :02:46.systematic problems across children's services, and basically
:02:46. > :02:52.saying, if you don't sort it out, we will take it over. And they are
:02:52. > :02:56.right to do so. The public out there have a right to expect good quality,
:02:56. > :03:01.high quality public services. The services that we run our based on
:03:01. > :03:06.money that comes from the people of Norfolk. It is their money, so it is
:03:06. > :03:10.really critical that what we do is deliver services that really make a
:03:10. > :03:15.difference to local people. And we do that well. It is a big job. While
:03:15. > :03:23.you prepare to be brutal? I don't like the word brutal, but I
:03:23. > :03:28.recognise I am very tenacious, I am very ruthless in terms of outcomes
:03:28. > :03:31.for children, and delivering the best by children, and that is the
:03:31. > :03:36.kind of philosophy that I would employ in working with the staff
:03:36. > :03:40.team here. But I will also do that with a generous helping of support
:03:40. > :03:44.and capacity building and ensuring that staff at the right tools to be
:03:44. > :03:47.able to do the job. As the government prepares to issue a
:03:47. > :03:51.statutory direction demanding improvements, the new regime here
:03:51. > :03:57.says putting right children's services is its top priority. It is
:03:57. > :03:59.investing £16.5 million into its investment plans, with the aim of
:03:59. > :04:04.seeing significant progress within six months. Richard Bacon is the MP
:04:04. > :04:08.for South Norfolk. He was one of the nine MPs who
:04:08. > :04:14.called for the resignation of the former head of children's services.
:04:14. > :04:19.He's at Westminster now. Where the MPs right to get involved in this? I
:04:19. > :04:22.think so. In the circumstances. Many of us have been concerned but quite
:04:22. > :04:26.time about the performance of children's services, and what was
:04:26. > :04:28.essentially a failure of leadership and management, and based on
:04:28. > :04:32.complaints from constituents and elsewhere it became quite apparent
:04:32. > :04:36.that change was needed at the top. It is important to say that the job
:04:36. > :04:39.social services does and children services does in looking after
:04:39. > :04:42.vulnerable children and those who have been taken away because their
:04:42. > :04:46.parents can't look after them at all is one of the most difficult part of
:04:46. > :04:49.the public service. This is difficult work, and that is all the
:04:49. > :04:52.more reason why people should expect it is done to a very high standard,
:04:52. > :04:56.and although I haven't had the opportunity to meet Sheila Lock, the
:04:56. > :04:59.new director, yet, I very much like the cut at the gym, and in a
:04:59. > :05:03.statement today, she recognised the scale of the problem, and I think
:05:03. > :05:06.that is the first step towards addressing the problem. Don't you
:05:06. > :05:10.need somebody who is in place full time, rather than yet another person
:05:11. > :05:13.who is interim? What we need right now is effective leadership and
:05:13. > :05:16.effective management, and that can be delivered by an interim. She
:05:17. > :05:19.comes with quite a good track record of doing this elsewhere in the
:05:19. > :05:22.country, and although it is true that the job is very difficult,
:05:22. > :05:25.there are other part of the country that succeed better than we do at
:05:26. > :05:30.the moment, so there is room for improvement, and what I liked about
:05:30. > :05:33.her statement is that she recognised the very clear need to identify the
:05:33. > :05:36.basics and make sure people understand what it is that needs
:05:36. > :05:39.doing, and who is responsible for it, and then to make sure that
:05:39. > :05:43.everyone played their part in achieving that. As she stared in
:05:43. > :05:47.your clip earlier, she expects everyone to do that with support,
:05:47. > :05:50.and speaking for myself and other colleagues, we will be doing all we
:05:50. > :05:54.can to make sure that she gets the support she needs interning this
:05:54. > :06:00.department around. Because this is of the bill that would foremost
:06:00. > :06:04.importance for local people. If it is not turned around by the next
:06:04. > :06:08.Ofsted inspection, would you say they need to shake up the new thing
:06:08. > :06:11.in change of thing? I am not going to start speculating about something
:06:11. > :06:17.in the future, because none of us can predict the future. I want to
:06:17. > :06:20.the six success. I think she is invented by the scale of the problem
:06:20. > :06:24.and is prepared to grip it, and I am reasonably optimistic that with the
:06:24. > :06:27.right leadership and management, basically identifying who needs to
:06:27. > :06:30.do things and inspiring people to make sure they understand what is
:06:30. > :06:34.required, and the manager and making sure it is done and delivered, I am
:06:34. > :06:36.confident that she can succeed. £8 million is being spent on
:06:36. > :06:39.renovating the waterfront at Woodbridge in Suffolk. The project
:06:39. > :06:43.covers the riverside near the town's famous Tide Mill. Its backers hope
:06:43. > :06:52.it will help Woodbridge rival nearby Snape and Southwold.
:06:52. > :06:59.In that location, there's going to be 2—storey restaurant with
:06:59. > :07:06.fantastic views over the River. Derelict since 1993, this old ball
:07:06. > :07:09.yard has been a an eyesore on what should be the most popular tourist
:07:09. > :07:14.attraction. The old warehouses will soon be transformed. Millions of
:07:14. > :07:16.pounds is being spent on a new development that local soap will
:07:16. > :07:22.bring in thousands of visitors. It's been a long time coming. The site
:07:22. > :07:24.has been derelict for 20 years. 10% of the local economy, and I really
:07:24. > :07:29.hope it's going to contribute vastly to that. The site is divided from
:07:29. > :07:33.the town by the East Southern rail line. It is help the redevelopment
:07:33. > :07:36.will help provide a greater incentive for visitors to cross to
:07:36. > :07:41.the other side of the tracks. We have the museum, which is
:07:41. > :07:45.fantastic, and will spill out onto public space, then on the ground
:07:45. > :07:49.floor, we have a couple of retail units, 14 holiday homes, and where
:07:50. > :07:56.we have the existing yard, we are proposing a 2—storey restaurant.
:07:56. > :07:59.Patrick runs the waterfront cafe. He is looking forward to the new
:07:59. > :08:03.business is bringing much—needed customers and is having to see an
:08:03. > :08:06.increase in evening trade. It is a major later the end of the tunnel,
:08:06. > :08:10.and I think it is the starters and in very exciting. The amount of
:08:10. > :08:13.people that we draw down to the Riverside here, we will be hoping to
:08:13. > :08:19.open in the evenings as well to take advantage of that. In time, it is
:08:19. > :08:22.how the new ferry will run from the Riverside at Woodbridge to nearby
:08:22. > :08:26.Sutton Hoo. It is where the famous Anglo—Saxon burial ship was found.
:08:26. > :08:31.The developers want to build a new boat shed in Woodbridge to house a
:08:31. > :08:33.full—size replica. We have lots of our visitors here who come on
:08:33. > :08:36.holiday, so I am hoping that will encourage tourism to grow when
:08:36. > :08:41.people to visit suffered. It is such an iconic ship, an iconic mask, it
:08:41. > :08:45.is the symbol of Southwark. The building work will take two years to
:08:45. > :08:49.complete, turning a barren boat yard into a heritage hub.
:08:49. > :08:52.Some amazing pictures now from a man having a pacemaker fitted in an
:08:52. > :08:56.operating theatre in London. It will stimulate his heart and regulate the
:08:56. > :08:59.way it works. 47 years ago, David Sapey, who lives in Norfolk, was
:08:59. > :09:04.just six months old, and the youngest person in Britain to
:09:04. > :09:09.survive a pacemaker operation. Today he had his 17th pacemaker fitted.
:09:09. > :09:12.This exclusive report is from Debbie Tubby.
:09:12. > :09:19.A warning that this film does contain shots of the surgery itself.
:09:20. > :09:25.In just half an hour, David CAP will be on the operating table again.
:09:25. > :09:29.Create a pocket there, and in the pacemaker will be put in the pocket.
:09:29. > :09:32.He doesn't have a heartbeat. Is kept alive by his pacemaker. That is now
:09:32. > :09:41.faulty, and needs to be replaced. The other macro I am here ready to
:09:41. > :09:45.have this done. It is in a little while I have been waiting for this
:09:45. > :09:50.to be done, so not too long now. New person after it! He has a final
:09:50. > :09:54.reassuring phone call with his wife, who is at home looking after his
:09:54. > :10:01.five—year—old daughter. OK sweetheart. Love you lots. This is
:10:01. > :10:07.David CAP before his first pacemaker operation at six months old. This is
:10:07. > :10:12.him two months later, and without it he would die. Then, his heart gave
:10:12. > :10:16.just three beats a minute. BBC look East filmed him after his 11th
:10:16. > :10:20.operation aged 11. His hobby was fixed at 75 beats per minute. He
:10:20. > :10:29.returned home from hospital to be presented with a new bike. When I
:10:29. > :10:33.saw this, I really picked up. His afternoon, David Sapey is put under
:10:33. > :10:35.anaesthetic for an operation expected to last one and a half
:10:35. > :10:40.hours. We have been allowed to watch. We have a pacemaker lead
:10:40. > :10:44.here, which we are going to pass through the sheath, of the vein,
:10:44. > :10:47.into the heart. David Sapey doesn't want a heart transplant, as he would
:10:47. > :10:52.have to take medication for the rest of his life. Because he's had her so
:10:52. > :10:56.many pacemaker is implanted in the top half of his death, all the veins
:10:56. > :10:59.in the chest and are blocked, and so the only route that we have two pass
:11:00. > :11:03.a pacemaker lead into the heart is through the femoral vein, through
:11:03. > :11:08.the vein coming to the top of the leg. They decided to keep the old
:11:08. > :11:10.pacemaker in place as a back—up, to make sure the new one is working,
:11:10. > :11:16.and once they are confident about that, they could remove the old one
:11:16. > :11:22.in a month's time. It is expected to last ten years. From a technical
:11:22. > :11:25.point of view, it has been 100% successful. These are the old leaves
:11:25. > :11:28.that have been left in from previous operations, and these are the two
:11:28. > :11:32.new leads that have been caught screwed into this heart this
:11:32. > :11:38.afternoon. An hour later, David Sapey is ready to talk. I'm glad
:11:38. > :11:45.it's all over and done with. Now looking forward to recovery and
:11:45. > :11:46.trying it out. He is expected to live to an old age, and due to go
:11:46. > :12:05.home tomorrow. Still to come: Ends. How many have
:12:05. > :12:08.you got, and when you put the? Plus the Premier league is back, and
:12:08. > :12:14.Norwich city have been among the big spenders.
:12:14. > :12:21.More than 40 years ago, in 1969, the company Gardline was set to revive
:12:21. > :12:24.marine support for the oil and gas industry. Now the company has a
:12:24. > :12:27.turnover of more than £200 million. The company employs 1,500 people
:12:27. > :12:31.around the world. About half that number work in this region. For the
:12:31. > :12:34.last in our series about the region's major exporters, Mike
:12:34. > :12:46.Liggins has been to find out more about the Gardline success story.
:12:46. > :12:53.In a big shed on the river at great Yarmouth, a new work boat the
:12:53. > :12:58.offshore wind farm industry is being put together like a big Meccano set
:12:58. > :13:04.will stop. And this is one they made earlier. They call them alley cats,
:13:04. > :13:09.and they are designed to get engineers and their kit out to wind
:13:09. > :13:13.turbines in the North Sea. This one cost £2.5 million, and because it
:13:13. > :13:17.will operate in German waters, it has been built to exacting
:13:17. > :13:20.international standards. It just means all the workforce have had to
:13:20. > :13:27.be changed to the ultimate industry standard that they can be, to allow
:13:27. > :13:30.them to do all the procedures in the fabrication of the vessel itself, so
:13:30. > :13:34.it is as good as it gets within the industry. But Gardline don't just
:13:34. > :13:39.make work boat. There are more than 30 companies in the group, and
:13:39. > :13:42.surveying the sea bed and below for foreign governments and oil
:13:42. > :13:48.companies is a big part of the illness. We have currently vessels
:13:48. > :13:52.in Australia, one of our big dealerships is on its way to a
:13:52. > :13:57.dealership in Venezuela, we're vessels in the Norwegian North Sea,
:13:57. > :14:01.we're been involved in large reject of Brazil and Angola, so it is a
:14:01. > :14:07.truly worldwide operation. This is a wind farm catamaran that we build
:14:07. > :14:13.the in great Yarmouth. Gregory Darling is Gardline's chairman and
:14:13. > :14:17.founder of. He is thought to be one of the region 's richest men. With
:14:17. > :14:20.operations in America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, Gardline has
:14:20. > :14:26.travelled in size in the last six years. I think anyway, it has been
:14:26. > :14:29.the result of a lot of effort from a lot of people over a long period of
:14:29. > :14:32.time, so you build up a head of steam and a certain capability,
:14:32. > :14:37.which you can then use to go overseas and develop further. About
:14:37. > :14:41.65% of our business overall is outside of this country. And what
:14:41. > :14:46.next for Gardline? According to the chairman, it is more of the same,
:14:46. > :14:50.creating new opportunities in deep water and moving into new
:14:50. > :15:01.territories. Exporting expertise from Norfolk to all over the world.
:15:01. > :15:05.I think most us will have seen or lived in a street where the wheelie
:15:05. > :15:07.bins appear to take up every spare inch of pavement. It's something the
:15:08. > :15:12.Communities Secretary Eric Pickles calls "bin blight" — and he wants to
:15:12. > :15:15.stop it. Now he's introducing new guidance which means house builders
:15:15. > :15:19.would have to include plans for proper waste storage when they build
:15:19. > :15:30.new homes. Mike Cartwright reports from Cambridge.
:15:30. > :15:35.Elected weekly, fortnightly. Lou, green, black. The wheelie bin, part
:15:35. > :15:41.of modern life. The trouble is, where do you put them? New bins and
:15:41. > :15:46.old properties, a difficult storage problem to solve. Left lined up
:15:46. > :15:50.outside, ruining the streets, say some residents. The are just
:15:50. > :15:53.unsightly, and they looked ghastly. These are lovely Victorian houses,
:15:53. > :15:59.or potentially lovely, and they are ruined by these municipal buildings.
:15:59. > :16:05.Now government wants proper planning for new properties, a place to keep
:16:05. > :16:07.the bins out of sight. This is a new development on the edge of
:16:07. > :16:13.Cambridge. Some homes here have a place to put a pin, others do not.
:16:13. > :16:19.On this side at the front, they are neatly lined up, but they are in
:16:19. > :16:22.full view. I can see the argument by having them off the pavement. We
:16:22. > :16:25.have space in our driveway, so we can get them out of the way, and
:16:25. > :16:29.will to live in a white street, so that helps. They should be tucked
:16:29. > :16:34.away. Everyone has their own backyard, so if you leave it behind
:16:34. > :16:40.there, it is fine. If you haven't a garden, when he do then? It is a bit
:16:40. > :16:44.difficult then. You get rat, you get everything, so if there was
:16:44. > :16:47.somewhere to store them, when they keep buildings of the likeness and
:16:47. > :16:51.it's so big and they just keep adding and adding to it, you get
:16:51. > :16:56.more more. Wheelie bin rounds have rumbled on before. How often they
:16:56. > :17:02.are emptied, what can go in, what can't. Now calls to keep them out of
:17:02. > :17:06.sight. To end what Eric Pickles calls the scourge of our bin blight
:17:06. > :17:10.its streets. Eric Pickles is the cabinet minister
:17:10. > :17:14.responsible for bins. He's also the MP for Brentwood and Ongar. I put it
:17:14. > :17:20.to him that while many people would welcome this new policy, the trouble
:17:20. > :17:26.was it would only affect new homes. That is an important start. We don't
:17:26. > :17:30.want to build bin blight into the system, and it does seem to me that
:17:30. > :17:37.local authorities now should recognise that it is an important
:17:37. > :17:39.part of being a good council to ensure that you are not forcing
:17:39. > :17:46.residents to put their bins out in front of their properties all the
:17:46. > :17:53.time, that they have a place to store, and in addition to which, you
:17:53. > :17:58.don't ask them to add too many bins. We have come across an authority
:17:58. > :18:01.with nine separate containers. But isn't the problem really affecting
:18:01. > :18:07.old Rose Terrace is whether literally isn't enough room and so
:18:07. > :18:10.people have their bins look out all the time? That gives an even greater
:18:10. > :18:14.incentive to local authorities to find solutions. In many cases, there
:18:14. > :18:17.are no need to have separate containers. There are many good
:18:17. > :18:25.local authorities that have just one container, which is mechanically
:18:25. > :18:30.sifted at kerb—side, or more particularly, at the depot. To do
:18:30. > :18:37.that, and if you have rows of terraced housing, I think it is an
:18:37. > :18:40.even greater incentive for you to move to weekly collections rather
:18:40. > :18:44.than fortnightly collections. I was going to talk to you about that,
:18:44. > :18:48.because really, the main problem with bins as far as most people are
:18:48. > :18:54.concerned, is the fact that they get over build, they get smelly, they
:18:54. > :18:57.attract vermin, and yet most of us still have fortnightly collections.
:18:57. > :19:00.In the past, you have said that you are going to take councils on over
:19:00. > :19:05.this and maybe look at their funding. What we have done is, of
:19:05. > :19:14.incentives, and there are now 6 million households in England who
:19:14. > :19:17.have weekly collections. It is up to local people. If local people are
:19:17. > :19:22.content to have lots of bins outside their houses and to put up with a
:19:22. > :19:25.fortnightly collection, that is a matter for them. Thank you very
:19:25. > :19:29.much. Four years ago, fans of Norwich City
:19:29. > :19:32.were looking forward life in League One and the prospect of games
:19:32. > :19:37.against the footballing giants of Exeter and Hartlepool. Now things
:19:37. > :19:40.are very different. Today they are getting ready for their third
:19:40. > :19:44.consecutive season in the top flight. Not only that, but this
:19:44. > :19:47.summer, City have been among the division's top spenders. 25 million
:19:47. > :20:00.on new signings, including a club record £8.5 million on a new
:20:00. > :20:05.striker. For wise men relax now, sharing a
:20:05. > :20:15.story or two before the phone and the furious start again.
:20:15. > :20:24.A long, long way here ! What about that ! He's had a go. Brilliance. I
:20:24. > :20:27.know they goes for it. It is the richest football competition in the
:20:27. > :20:32.world. This year, the money is bigger than ever. A new three—year
:20:33. > :20:36.domestic TV deal worth over £3 billion. International media rights
:20:36. > :20:42.with the next two and a half billion, and then I watering £5.5
:20:42. > :20:45.billion in all. Of course, it is an important time financially to be in
:20:45. > :20:49.this division, but I think it is also wonderful as a club, as a
:20:49. > :20:53.player, as a manager, to be in this division as well. This goal on the
:20:53. > :20:59.final day of last season pocketed the club next £4.5 million prize
:20:59. > :21:07.money. A fantastic run. Any applied finish? Yeti can ! In total, seven
:21:07. > :21:10.and a half million pounds in money, a far cry from a few years ago when
:21:10. > :21:15.Charlton relegated them to League one. 23 million in arrears, a squat
:21:15. > :21:21.in tatters, morale at an all—time low. Fast forward, and Norwich are
:21:21. > :21:27.now get free and can afford to splash the cash. Economically, our
:21:27. > :21:30.20 clubs will be on the top 30 in the world ensues of income. That
:21:30. > :21:35.allows them to invest in squat and put out teams that can beat any
:21:35. > :21:39.other team. Only four clubs have spent more this season: Man city,
:21:39. > :21:44.Spurs, Chelsea and newly promoted Cardiff. In all, Norwich have
:21:44. > :21:49.invested around 25 million. A goalie came in for free, but elsewhere,
:21:49. > :21:54.huge sums spent to bolster the team. 8 million in midfield, but the big
:21:54. > :22:01.bucks upfront, an estimated five and a half million on Gary Hooper from
:22:01. > :22:05.Celtic, and a record 8.5 million for wall Swingle. Thousands of his
:22:05. > :22:09.shirts have already been sold. I am a team player. I will play football
:22:09. > :22:15.for the team and I want to do both, of course. I want to make Norwich
:22:15. > :22:18.happy and myself and the fans. Just really looking forward to seeing
:22:18. > :22:23.Ricky there, and the new signings generally, Addiewell gelled with the
:22:23. > :22:28.team. Hopefully a top half finish. Now we have got Hooper, I think our
:22:28. > :22:31.attacking will be brilliant. First up, Everton. A chance for fans to
:22:31. > :22:37.admire the arrivals and assess whether Norwich have spent wisely.
:22:37. > :22:40.It's hard to believe but Twenty20 cricket is celebrating its tenth
:22:40. > :22:44.birthday in England this season. In that time, neither Northants or
:22:44. > :22:47.Essex have managed to win it. Tomorrow they meet at Edgbaston in
:22:47. > :22:49.the semi—finals. Meanwhile, at Northampton's ground today,
:22:49. > :22:58.Australia have been playing the England Lions.
:22:58. > :23:03.Not the ideal start to the County ground's biggest match of the
:23:03. > :23:06.season. The Australians were in town in need of practice, but not in the
:23:06. > :23:11.indoor centre, where David Warner was heading. It was an unfortunate
:23:11. > :23:14.forecast this morning, but we are confident we will get some good
:23:14. > :23:16.cricket is opening command we will get some good cricket is opening,
:23:16. > :23:19.we're looking forward to that. It is always a special time to have this
:23:19. > :23:22.trailer at the County ground, and we are privileged we have the between
:23:22. > :23:26.the fourth and fifth test match. Hadi keep the kids entertained when
:23:26. > :23:33.it is raining like this never is nothing to see? It is difficult.
:23:33. > :23:38.There's a lot of stuff in the back. Greek looking at the grass is quite
:23:38. > :23:47.boring. None of the team have played this summer. They will meet a pump.
:23:47. > :23:51.Essex side in the semifinals, like Northants, still waiting for the
:23:51. > :23:56.first to 20 Crown, 20 years after the competition started. I think
:23:56. > :24:00.competition is day is about your overseas players are your big,
:24:00. > :24:03.experienced players to come to the party. We are expecting our guys to
:24:03. > :24:07.turn on Saturday but the massive performance in. And it could be two
:24:07. > :24:12.Aussies who steal the limelight. It is club, not country, for Shaun Tait
:24:12. > :24:17.and Northants' big hitting batsmen Cameron White. Although Australia
:24:17. > :24:21.have played pretty well, England have been a good side, so hopefully
:24:21. > :24:25.a couple of us Aussies can kick around in the 2020 and do us proud.
:24:25. > :24:30.He's a good fella, and I enjoy him having some success. The scaling
:24:30. > :24:35.cricketing public does, I think, so it is great to see. Hopefully, on
:24:35. > :24:39.Saturday, he doesn't get too many wickets and we can get the right
:24:39. > :24:43.result. Back at Northants, the sun did finally make an appearance at
:24:43. > :24:47.the lunch. Australia took some wicked. Australian captain Michael
:24:47. > :24:51.Clarke watch from above ahead of the final Ashes Test at the Oval next
:24:51. > :24:56.week. There is more action tomorrow, but there won't be quite as many
:24:56. > :25:02.boundaries or wickets as at Edgbaston, when Northampton at
:25:02. > :25:05.Xstrata make history in the T20 do. And in that Australian game, the
:25:05. > :25:10.latest score we have is England Lions 258—6. Spit their wits spin
:25:10. > :25:15.Nathan Lyon has taken three wickets. Let's find out the weather. Today's
:25:15. > :25:19.weather has been influenced by this front which has been very slow to
:25:19. > :25:23.clear, so that has meant it has been cloudy with outbreaks of rain on and
:25:23. > :25:26.off through the day. Then we have seen some fairly lively showers
:25:26. > :25:30.developing in some of these have turned under it. At the moment,
:25:30. > :25:33.Suffolk and Essex are in the firing line for a few more of the showers
:25:33. > :25:37.before the day is out. Further west, we see some sunshine across the
:25:37. > :25:41.region. Hopefully, all of us will see sunshine before the day is at an
:25:41. > :25:46.end. That means a dry night, is some clear spells developing, and a
:25:46. > :25:49.little bit cooler, little bit fresher, because the air behind that
:25:49. > :25:54.weather front has changed slightly. We have lost the humidity. Our
:25:54. > :25:58.lowest value but tonight out of 13 Celsius, so more comfortable with a
:25:58. > :26:01.light south—westerly wind. This is tomorrow's chart. A weather front
:26:01. > :26:07.comes in, bringing strong winds and some rain, so will be windy for both
:26:07. > :26:11.Saturday and Sunday. Expect rain for Saturday, but not all day, and it
:26:11. > :26:15.will be drier on Sunday, although we still have the risk of some showers.
:26:15. > :26:18.So if you live in the east, you may well seasoned sunshine first thing
:26:18. > :26:22.tomorrow. Quickly turning cloudy, and from the West, this rain moving
:26:22. > :26:28.through. They will not rain all day. There will be some dry interludes,
:26:28. > :26:30.and temperatures will range from 19 to 23 Celsius. The strength of the
:26:30. > :26:37.win will be noticeable, freshening of the day goes on. Moderate to
:26:37. > :26:41.fresh south—westerly costs in excess of 30 miles an hour are possible.
:26:41. > :26:45.Overnight, the rain clears away, and that is the scene for a much better
:26:45. > :26:48.day on Sunday, and looking ahead, this is our pressure pattern for
:26:48. > :26:51.Monday next week. I press are starting. Overnight, the rain clears
:26:51. > :26:53.away, and that is the scene for a much better day on Sunday, and
:26:53. > :26:58.looking ahead, this is our pressure pattern for Monday next week. I
:26:58. > :27:01.better start in warm up, and decide which might stick around into much
:27:01. > :27:07.of next week. So expect some rain for tomorrow, windy conditions for
:27:07. > :27:10.both Saturday and Sunday will stop for Sunday, largely dry, some
:27:10. > :27:16.sunshine, but the chance of one to showers, and into next week, we
:27:16. > :27:21.start the week much more settled. Some sunny spells, patchy cloud
:27:21. > :27:25.around. Temperatures not too high, 21 or 22 Celsius, but as the week
:27:25. > :27:31.goes on, those could climb into the mid—20s. Our overnight lows down to
:27:31. > :27:35.12. Thank you very much. I think we had
:27:35. > :27:39.a few problems in one of our microphones. The little one stop
:27:39. > :27:42.working, but the big one picked up the good weekend. Buy buy.
