:00:07. > :00:14.Hello and welcome to Look East. With Stewart and me. The headlines

:00:14. > :00:18.tonight: Another blow for the beleaguered schools in Suffolk. The

:00:18. > :00:24.official watchdog says one third of the primaries are not good enough.

:00:24. > :00:31.Some headteachers disagree. Does this feel like a witchhunt? You have

:00:31. > :00:35.hit the nail on the head. Police raids across the region today

:00:35. > :00:40.to find the gangs who tagetted treasures in museums. —— targeted.

:00:40. > :00:47.Appearing in court. The radio presenter accused of using his

:00:47. > :00:53.celebrity to sexually abuse young boys. And a new exhibition called

:00:53. > :01:04.masterpieces tells the story of Art in East Anglia.

:01:04. > :01:12.They only went back a week ago but the troubled schools in Suffolk have

:01:12. > :01:13.already run into their first set—back.

:01:13. > :01:16.Ofsted, the official schools watchdog, chose this week to launch

:01:16. > :01:20.a programme of intensive inspections of Suffolk's schools. New figures

:01:20. > :01:24.from Ofsted show that 30 per cent of children in Suffolk go to a primary

:01:24. > :01:27.school that is not good enough compared to 21 per cent nationally.

:01:27. > :01:31.In Suffolk that translates to 76 schools and more than 15,000 pupils.

:01:31. > :01:35.In a moment we'll speak to Ofsted, but first this from our Suffolk

:01:35. > :01:38.reporter Kevin Burch. Education officials in Suffolk say

:01:38. > :01:44.they're already committed to driving up standards with their own plan.

:01:44. > :01:48.Raising the Bar. But now Ofsted is breathing firmly down its neck with

:01:48. > :01:54.this extensive check—up, involving all types of schools, but mainly

:01:54. > :01:58.primaries. I have no problems about being audited. Ken Marrable's head

:01:58. > :02:02.of Morland Primary in Ipswich. He's not expecting a visit, but says the

:02:02. > :02:05.inspectors popped in anyway this May, at a day's notice. They felt

:02:05. > :02:10.the school required improvement. Despite the fact that it's ranked in

:02:10. > :02:16.the top 25% of primaries in the country for pupil progress. We all

:02:16. > :02:20.try very hard, we are working collectively for the children. It is

:02:20. > :02:24.a hackneyed expression that some people think they have discovered,

:02:24. > :02:30.the school is for the children, but in Suffolk we all believe that.

:02:30. > :02:35.Ofsted come in and make a judgement and go, they leave school and the

:02:35. > :02:38.teachers to pick up the pieces. Ofsted's intervention in Suffolk

:02:38. > :02:43.follows a similar move in July over secondary schools in Norfolk. And

:02:43. > :02:48.the man at the top says it's clear both areas need urgent help. People

:02:48. > :02:52.think that because it is a mace and leafy and pretty part of the world

:02:52. > :02:58.that children are doing well, but they are not. In Suffolk, they are

:02:58. > :03:00.already trying to widen the pool of expertise by forming links with

:03:00. > :03:02.schools in London. We filmed at one of them in Hackney in May.

:03:02. > :03:07.It is just one of a range of proposals, but is the package

:03:07. > :03:13.working. —— is the package working and bearing fruit? That is what

:03:13. > :03:17.Ofsted will be trying to assess. And it is warning that if there aren't

:03:17. > :03:20.signs of a turnaround, it wil turn the spotlight onto education

:03:20. > :03:24.officials to see if they're the real problem. We have had some really

:03:24. > :03:27.significant increases in terms of the results that young people are

:03:27. > :03:32.gaining in Suffolk, but they are not keeping up with national levels of

:03:32. > :03:37.attainment and we must make sure we reach and surpass that. Does this

:03:37. > :03:41.feel like a witchhunt? You have hit the nail on the head, absolutely.

:03:41. > :03:44.Ofsted says it is looking to get a powerful snapshot of what's

:03:44. > :03:48.happening. As well as face—to—face inspections, it'll be carrying out a

:03:48. > :03:51.phone survey with other schools too. Sean Harford is the regional

:03:51. > :03:55.director for Ofsted. And when I spoke to him earlier, I put it to

:03:55. > :03:58.him that education officials in Suffolk already had an action plan

:03:58. > :04:06.to improve the county's schools. Suffolk, in common with the rest of

:04:06. > :04:11.the East of England is actually improving at the slower rate than

:04:11. > :04:15.the rest of the country in this past year. By pooling these inspections

:04:15. > :04:19.together we want to be able to get under the skin of what is going on

:04:19. > :04:23.and hopefully be exempted —— hopefully be helpful in identifying

:04:23. > :04:28.patterns were schools and local authorities could improve for young

:04:28. > :04:32.people. Many schools with in fear of Ofsted inspections, we have heard

:04:32. > :04:37.from a schoolteacher seeing that this feels like a witchhunt and the

:04:37. > :04:44.Nu Tis says that this will hit morale badly. Make this backfire? It

:04:44. > :04:48.is very important to understand that these inspections would have

:04:48. > :04:52.happened anyway. All we have done is to pull them together into a

:04:52. > :04:58.concentrated period of a couple of weeks, so for the teachers in the

:04:58. > :05:01.school it will make no difference. Those inspections would have

:05:01. > :05:06.happened anyway and they should see no difference and they should not

:05:06. > :05:10.fear it. They should just go about their work and the inspectors will

:05:10. > :05:14.observe and draw the conclusions. It is interesting that this is a region

:05:14. > :05:19.that is not improving as well as other regions. How can something be

:05:19. > :05:23.regionwide like that when every county is run in a different county

:05:23. > :05:27.council? There is evidence to suggest from surveys and reports

:05:27. > :05:33.that coastal towns are struggling, something it's difficult to attract

:05:33. > :05:39.good teachers, and that could be a factor in all of this. The thing is,

:05:39. > :05:46.the people in charge of education and the schools themselves need to

:05:46. > :05:49.do all they can to attract teachers and get the best deal for children

:05:49. > :05:54.in the school. We deserve as good an education as anyone in the country.

:05:54. > :06:00.We are seeing a lot more from Ofsted these days, is there a real push to

:06:00. > :06:04.get in there and be more controversial and stick your neck

:06:04. > :06:09.out more about schools you do not think I doing well? We are

:06:09. > :06:15.passionate about education and we are passionate about getting better

:06:15. > :06:19.services for children. We think it is very important to stimulate

:06:19. > :06:25.debate because we think that when people are interested and have the

:06:25. > :06:29.facts behind them to do with the services we all use then they will

:06:29. > :06:33.be more informed. That is what we are trying to do. Thank you very

:06:33. > :06:35.much. 19 people have been arrested today

:06:35. > :06:39.across the country in connection with a number of break—ins at

:06:39. > :06:41.museums including the Castle Museum in Norwich and the Fitzwilliam in

:06:41. > :06:51.Cambridge. Our reporter Mike Cartwright was with the police for a

:06:51. > :06:55.dawn raid in Cambridgeshire. Strike was the code word that

:06:55. > :07:02.triggered simultaneous raids across the country. Near Cambridge,

:07:02. > :07:07.officers raided a travellers site. They are making phone calls, the art

:07:07. > :07:12.on the phone. Inside this caravan are three men they want to question.

:07:12. > :07:18.Officers moved in and make the arrest. More than 30 officers were

:07:18. > :07:23.involved in the raids. Across the site, another arrest. Handcuffed,

:07:23. > :07:27.the man is led from a caravan and driven from the site in question.

:07:27. > :07:33.Officers were targeting five people in these rates, so far they have

:07:33. > :07:38.made for rest. These officers are on guard waiting for specialist search

:07:38. > :07:43.teams to come in. The operation was carried out after a series of high

:07:43. > :07:52.value read in museums. It increase was due to pieces still museums ——

:07:52. > :07:56.18 jade pieces were stolen from the fit William Museum, and months

:07:56. > :08:02.before there was a failed attempt to steal this rhino horn. There was a

:08:02. > :08:06.substantial reward offered for the recovery of these artefacts, clearly

:08:06. > :08:12.of massive value. We are determined to carry out the work, deal with the

:08:12. > :08:20.offenders and recover the goods. After the raids, 19 people are no in

:08:20. > :08:23.custody. This involves Essex, the West Midlands and Northern Ireland.

:08:23. > :08:27.A national crackdown on those thought to be conspiring to steal

:08:27. > :08:29.some of the country's most valuable artefacts.

:08:29. > :08:33.A former BBC radio presenter was accused today of having a "deviant"

:08:33. > :08:38.sexual obsession with young boys. Mike Souter, who used to work for

:08:38. > :08:42.Radio Norfolk, was said to have used his celebrity status to abuse seven

:08:42. > :08:46.boys aged between 11 and sixteen. Our reporter Jenny Kirk was at

:08:46. > :08:49.Norwich crown court for the start of the trial.

:08:49. > :08:52.Mike Souter arrived at court today to hear the prosecution open its

:08:52. > :08:56.case against him. The former Radio Norfolk DJ, who is

:08:56. > :08:59.now 60, faces 19 charges of sexual assault spanning 20 years. The

:08:59. > :09:03.Prosecution said Mr Souter deliberately created situations

:09:03. > :09:07.where he'd be in contact with young boys, some of whom were "vulnerable

:09:07. > :09:11.and pliable". The court was told this included setting up a Scout

:09:11. > :09:16.Group in Norwich. And becoming a mentor for children in care. The

:09:16. > :09:20.alleged victims are now aged 28 to 48. The prosecution claim Mr Souter

:09:21. > :09:25.used many of the same grooming techniques on the boys before going

:09:25. > :09:30.on to assault them. One alleged victim told police the abuse was, in

:09:30. > :09:35.his words, "relentless". Another claims he even stole bromide from

:09:35. > :09:45.his school to try and dampen Mr Souter's sexual appetite. When did

:09:46. > :09:50.these allegations first surfaced? The court heard that complaints were

:09:50. > :09:54.made to the police and social services about Michael Souter in

:09:54. > :09:59.1993 and 2002.But he wasn't arrested until 2011 after three men had come

:09:59. > :10:03.forward. In his police interview Mr Souter said he was "staggered" by

:10:03. > :10:06.the allegations and claimed the men were conspiring against him. But

:10:06. > :10:10.today the prosecutor poured scorn on that, saying it was highly unlikely

:10:10. > :10:13.that seven men, born in three different decades, would all invent

:10:13. > :10:17.similar stories. He said that would make Mr Souter "the unluckiest man

:10:17. > :10:20.alive." And, he told the jury, "lightening doesn't strike seven

:10:20. > :10:26.times." Michael Souter denies all the charges. The case is scheduled

:10:26. > :10:30.to last for six weeks. A teenager could be facing a life

:10:30. > :10:34.sentence after being convicted of murdering of a talented musician and

:10:34. > :10:39.rapper. Thomas Brittain was 26 years old. He was stabbed during a

:10:39. > :10:49.break—in. At a flat in Colchester. —— break—in at a flat in Colchester.

:10:49. > :10:53.YouTube footage of Thomas Burton performing one of his songs. He

:10:53. > :10:59.dreamt of a career ending the music industry. He was stabbed to death

:10:59. > :11:04.during a watched burglary. The jury heard that two young men wearing

:11:04. > :11:10.balaclavas burst into the flat shooting police. There was a scuffle

:11:10. > :11:15.during which Thomas was stabbed in the chest. There are three children

:11:15. > :11:19.under five in the flat at the time of the murder. They were killing in

:11:19. > :11:28.a bedroom. The two men captured on CCTV fled and where —— and a manhunt

:11:28. > :11:32.was launched. Jack Thompson denied murder but it took ages 83 and a

:11:32. > :11:36.half hours to conflict him. He grievous bodily harm, possessing a

:11:36. > :11:45.fake gun and aggravated burglary. 19—year—old Andre Villa was cleared

:11:45. > :11:50.of murder but also convicted of Adam —— aggravated burglary and having a

:11:50. > :11:58.fake gun. A policeman who led the investigation spoke of how Thomas's

:11:58. > :12:04.murder affected their family. They have lost a much loved son and

:12:04. > :12:07.brother. We have been so dignified during the trial and I am so

:12:07. > :12:13.grateful for that. I hope that now that the verdict has been given the

:12:13. > :12:15.active in time to grieve in peace. They will be sentenced at a later

:12:15. > :12:19.hearing. Network Rail has been find £125,000

:12:19. > :12:23.following the death of one of its workers in Essex. Malcolm Slater,

:12:23. > :12:27.who was 64, died in 2008 when the aerial platform he was working on

:12:27. > :12:30.sheared off. Network Rail had admitted breaching health and safety

:12:30. > :12:48.regulations. It has also been ordered to pay £85,000 in costs.

:12:48. > :12:52.Still to come, you had your say about the A14.

:12:52. > :12:56.And the treasures from the arts world under one roof for the first

:12:56. > :13:03.time in this region. In Look East last night we had a

:13:03. > :13:06.special report on a plan to recruit more reservists — or part time

:13:06. > :13:10.soldiers — into the Army. The idea is to plug the gaps left behind by

:13:10. > :13:14.cuts to the Regular service. The problem is that it relies on

:13:14. > :13:17.employers releasing their staff to take part in training and

:13:17. > :13:20.operations. Many smaller firms are reluctant, saying it would hit their

:13:20. > :13:24.business. In the second of his special reports, our Defence

:13:24. > :13:35.reporter Alex Dunlop asks if the army and employers have enough "In

:13:36. > :13:41.reserve." What the difference from the day

:13:41. > :13:46.job. What exercise in Croatia, Royal in the reservists in place of the

:13:46. > :13:52.lot and sweat of the vicious work—out. Many like Alvin Rushmere

:13:52. > :13:57.arts year with the blessing of their boss. My job is an office based job

:13:57. > :14:02.and this gets me out onto the adventure takes in and it gives me a

:14:02. > :14:08.little bit of a challenge in life. Back at Eccles in Suffolk, Gavin's

:14:08. > :14:14.colleagues may not get the chance to join him. Only 18 people work here,

:14:14. > :14:19.the firm would struggle with another reserve list on the payroll. The

:14:19. > :14:23.company —— the MoD pays their salary will be our only and compensate

:14:23. > :14:27.employers. Given's employer is quietly as back but think that the

:14:28. > :14:34.government get a better deal than employers. We agree that we should

:14:34. > :14:37.support our reserve forces but there is no effective serious

:14:37. > :14:42.compensation. It would be a drop in the bucket in knowledge into what

:14:42. > :14:45.the potential savings to the MoD are given the scale of defence

:14:45. > :14:49.reductions going through at the moment. In the survey, 58% of small

:14:49. > :14:55.businesses say that the mate employing reservist in the future,

:14:55. > :14:59.36% would not consider it. Two in every five employers say that the

:14:59. > :15:06.proposed changes to reservists council would have a negative impact

:15:06. > :15:12.on them. A reserve list would have a senior role in that business, to

:15:12. > :15:18.replace those skills it would be expensive. The organisation which

:15:18. > :15:24.allow users between employers and the MoD says that future incentives

:15:24. > :15:27.will be far more attractive. The small to medium enterprises,

:15:27. > :15:32.wealthier employee is immobilised, they will get a flat payment of £500

:15:32. > :15:42.per month during that mobilisation period. The region's 2000 reserve is

:15:42. > :15:47.may not be professional soldiers but they bring fresh civilian skills to

:15:47. > :15:50.the battlefield. It is up to the government to convince their bosses

:15:50. > :15:53.that the army could bring added value to them.

:15:53. > :15:57.And tomorrow Alex will be looking at an accusation the army is being

:15:57. > :16:00.'hollowed out' by reducing the number of full time soldiers. And

:16:00. > :16:03.taking on more reservists. —— full—time soldiers and taking on

:16:03. > :16:08.more reservists. Last night, I was on the A14 in

:16:08. > :16:17.Cambridgeshire reporting on the Government plan. For a new toll

:16:17. > :16:20.road. There was a huge response from you. Susie has been going through

:16:20. > :16:25.your comments. Just a reminder that the existing

:16:25. > :16:29.road heads north west from Cambridge towards Huntingdon. Work on the new

:16:29. > :16:33.toll road is due to start in 2016. Many drivers had thought they would

:16:33. > :16:37.still be able to use the old road as an alternative. But a key bridge at

:16:37. > :16:40.Huntingdon is coming to the end of its life and is due to be

:16:40. > :16:44.demolished. Alan Baish spoke for many when he e—mailed to say: "We

:16:44. > :16:48.already pay taxes for the privilege of driving on the highway." And Dave

:16:48. > :16:53.Smith from Rothwell was so angry with the idea of a toll, he wrote in

:16:53. > :16:58.capitals just to make the point: "We have already paid for this A14. No

:16:58. > :17:03.toll." Geoff Fry is a retired sales director from Cambridge. He uses the

:17:03. > :17:05.A14 regularly and like many hates the idea that there may not be an

:17:05. > :17:10.alternative to the new toll road. Like many thousands who moved in

:17:10. > :17:18.this area I believe that having a toll road, I am against the fact

:17:18. > :17:23.that we will not have a choice but to use it. We would have to use the

:17:23. > :17:28.A14 or have nothing. There has been a lot of reaction from politicians

:17:28. > :17:35.about the prospect of only 14 tour, Huntingdon —— the MP for Huntingdon

:17:35. > :17:40.likes the idea. But first the Northampton MP. The taxpayers paid

:17:40. > :17:46.for this road, they paid for the infrastructure and I do not think we

:17:46. > :17:51.can take it away on what seems to be a ruse to get people onto the toll

:17:51. > :17:58.road. It is good news for the whole region, by 2025 we are expecting 20

:17:58. > :18:02.or 25% more traffic on the A14 than currently exists in the situation

:18:02. > :18:08.will become impossible. We must have a solution. We had a lot of reaction

:18:08. > :18:13.on the East Facebook page, all comments bar one where critical of

:18:13. > :18:19.the proposals. Terry Christie said, the new road will speed up the

:18:19. > :18:23.journey, will be shorter and will most likely use less fuel. Those

:18:23. > :18:28.short—sighted people who say they will find an alternative route

:18:28. > :18:33.should have a rethink. The last word goes to Mick Barrett who said,

:18:33. > :18:36.crazy, I will take the other routes as I do with the M6 toll, as HTV 's

:18:36. > :18:42.do. I'm sure you saw those scenes of joy

:18:42. > :18:46.in Tokyo last weekend after it was selected to host the Olympic Games

:18:46. > :18:49.in 2020. But there was disappointment for our top squash

:18:49. > :18:52.players because their sport won't be included in the games. Our sports

:18:52. > :19:03.editor Jonathan Park is at a squash club in Cambridgeshire. Welcome to

:19:04. > :19:09.the Hunts County club near Huntingdon. It is one of the best

:19:09. > :19:13.squash clubs in the region. Many of these youngsters on court tonight,

:19:13. > :19:18.they are simply brushing up their skills and will not be worrying too

:19:18. > :19:24.much about the Olympic Games in 2020. But for one of the region's

:19:24. > :19:33.top players, the sport not making at 22020 as a bit of a blow to him. I

:19:33. > :19:38.would happily trade all of my seven titles for an Olympic Games gold

:19:38. > :19:43.medal. Not even squash's biggest games could convince the Olympic top

:19:43. > :19:49.table that it deserves an invitation to the games in 2020. Three times

:19:49. > :19:54.the sport has tried, three times the door has been slammed shut. It was

:19:54. > :19:59.four years of hard work from players, officials, everyone. You

:20:00. > :20:03.feel like you have been banging your head against the back wall. Darryl

:20:03. > :20:08.is one of Britain's's finest, you thought Olympic recognition would

:20:08. > :20:13.take squash the new level. The IOC wanted a new sport but wrestling has

:20:13. > :20:17.made it back in the state having been dropped earlier in the year. It

:20:17. > :20:22.is unfortunate the way the procedure happened, we took wrestling out in

:20:22. > :20:27.the first place and made an example of it together in the ticking off

:20:27. > :20:31.for not filling in any form right or something. It is a shame for squash,

:20:31. > :20:37.we were the scapegoats. Squash has done much in recent years to make it

:20:38. > :20:43.more TV friendly, glass courts and video review technology has been

:20:43. > :20:49.introduced. In May the five countries seem to agree that squash

:20:49. > :20:54.is attractive. They will keep trying for an Olympic inclusion. It is a

:20:54. > :21:00.bar of course, we have been trying for years to get into the Olympics

:21:00. > :21:03.and this has not stopped squash from growing. There are more people

:21:03. > :21:08.playing squash now than ever before. In terms of a hammer blow, yes, it

:21:08. > :21:14.is able but we will grow as a sport. It will be 11 years before squash

:21:14. > :21:18.get an Olympic opportunity, at the earliest. But Darryl will get the

:21:18. > :21:24.chance to show Commonwealth audiences just what exciting sport

:21:24. > :21:29.it is. Let's get some reaction from the head coach, James.

:21:29. > :21:36.Disappointment? Very disappointed. A huge disappointment for squash. We

:21:36. > :21:40.will keep trying. Squash will get in one day. As you can see, we have a

:21:40. > :21:45.thriving junior squash environment and hopefully this will continue.

:21:45. > :21:50.Taylor, one of the country's best young players. You must be

:21:50. > :21:53.disappointed. I was very disappointed considering squash is

:21:53. > :21:59.such a good sport for everyone. It is upsetting not to be in. Echoes a

:21:59. > :22:02.gladiatorial contest, squash, so they will keep trying.

:22:02. > :22:06.It's been described as the most ambitious art exhibition ever to be

:22:06. > :22:09.staged in our region. Called 'Masterpieces', it's on for nearly

:22:09. > :22:14.six months at the Sainsbury Centre on the UEA campus in Norwich. It

:22:14. > :22:21.doesn't open to the public until the weekend, but we've been for an early

:22:21. > :22:28.look. As Mike Liggins reports. It includes work by some very famous

:22:28. > :22:30.names. It took two years to put together and the masterpieces

:22:30. > :22:36.exhibition is East Anglia and heart's greatest hits.

:22:36. > :22:41.But unlike those, —— unlike those music compilations where you get

:22:41. > :22:45.some hits and some dodgy tracks no one really wants, with Masterpieces

:22:45. > :22:51.the hits keep on coming. How did they decide on what to put in and

:22:51. > :22:55.leave out? We had a lot of faith in a lot of debates and occasionally

:22:55. > :22:59.things just could not travel. They were stuck down or too heavy or too

:22:59. > :23:05.fragile. Virtually everything that we really needed and wanted from all

:23:05. > :23:10.over the world is here. It came. And if it is big names you want here are

:23:11. > :23:16.one or two for starters. A painter Sophie Missi only need one name,

:23:16. > :23:23.timer. And John Constable. —— Turner. His parents garden painted

:23:23. > :23:27.six years before his heyday. There are many great stories, including

:23:27. > :23:32.this roster of the Emperor Claudius, stolen from the Romans in Colchester

:23:32. > :23:38.by Boudicca's army and then discovered in the Suffolk River in

:23:38. > :23:45.1907. Ian Collins is the cheerleader of Masterpieces, he has lived in

:23:45. > :23:48.this exhibition for two years and is so enthusiastic he wanted us to

:23:49. > :23:54.feature everything. We don't have time! But what about that Turner?

:23:54. > :23:57.This shoe is spectacular and this combination is a spectacle in

:23:57. > :24:03.itself. It is Turner painting a wonderful picture in 1831 and next

:24:03. > :24:10.to it we have a great knowledge school painter painting possibly the

:24:10. > :24:16.same storm over Yarmouth in 1831. That is a complete knockout. I want

:24:16. > :24:20.everyone to come, I would say that but this is a show for everyone.

:24:20. > :24:25.This is not the conventional art show, it is a show for people who

:24:25. > :24:28.have not been to an exhibition. It is about everything that has

:24:28. > :24:31.happened in East Anglia. There have been many surprises in the

:24:31. > :24:36.exhibition, who would have thought this painting of Lowestoft harbour

:24:36. > :24:42.would have been painted by LS Lowry? The exhibition also has an

:24:42. > :24:49.interesting idea on what can be art, as the Gainsborough and acts, which

:24:49. > :24:55.is 700,000 years old, set next to place was works of art. What about

:24:55. > :25:02.this? They will just take 72, arguably the greatest racing car of

:25:02. > :25:05.all time. —— Lotus 72. Masterpieces opens at the city centre on

:25:05. > :25:16.Saturday. If you want to hear my opinion, I do

:25:16. > :25:22.not think that was the best racing car. What do you think? This

:25:22. > :25:26.exhibition is something else. This has painting after extraordinary

:25:26. > :25:29.painting. I could not possibly tell you my favourite but I recommend you

:25:29. > :25:37.get tender. Quite a shift in our weather this

:25:37. > :25:43.weekend, and outdo last week, a changeable week is forecast and

:25:43. > :25:47.today a case in point. We have a succession of Atlantic weather

:25:47. > :25:52.fronts lining up so we will see some further unsettled weather but today

:25:52. > :25:58.has not been great. It has been dominated by this large blow to our

:25:58. > :26:02.least, it has brought wind and rain and cloud and it has not been very

:26:02. > :26:07.pleasant. We are still recording wind speeds in excess of 30 mph.

:26:07. > :26:11.Much of this rain is becoming more patchy, but we will see some further

:26:11. > :26:16.outbreaks of rain particularly across the eastern half across the

:26:16. > :26:21.region for the next few hours. The wins will gradually ease but

:26:22. > :26:25.certainly quite a breeze for this evening at the first part of the

:26:25. > :26:28.night. There will be some cloud around so it will not be quite as

:26:28. > :26:32.chilly as last eight. Temperatures will reach around 11 degrees, the

:26:32. > :26:38.expected low across the region, but certainly one or two spots might get

:26:38. > :26:44.down to single figures. Here is the pressure pattern for tomorrow, the

:26:44. > :26:49.low pressure moves away to the east with the gap in between, you can see

:26:49. > :26:54.our next weather front lining up and heading in her direction. If you

:26:54. > :26:58.live in Norfolk and Suffolk there could be some rain first thing but

:26:58. > :26:59.then it will become drier and brighter and because of that we

:26:59. > :27:02.could require slightly warmer temperatures tomorrow. It will not

:27:02. > :27:07.feel quite as cold as today, as of around 16 degrees. Still a bit of a

:27:07. > :27:11.breeze but not as windy as today, a model north—westerly wind. Here is

:27:11. > :27:17.the next area of rain moving in, much of this quite drizzly and Patsy

:27:17. > :27:20.and light but it will turn the sky is cloudy in the afternoon. Looking

:27:20. > :27:25.ahead, this is still the unsettled picture, with further weather front

:27:25. > :27:29.on the scene in the 50 and the rest of the week so far 30 itself looks

:27:29. > :27:39.slightly warmer. —— so for thirsty itself. For Friday and Saturday the

:27:39. > :27:39.temperatures will bounce back. That is all from us. Goodbye.
