:00:21. > :00:27.Watchdog 's Hospital's result of the river settlements. We should be able

:00:27. > :00:31.to trust hospitals. Phone—mac the need to know the truth. It is their

:00:31. > :00:37.right to know what is going on. The A11is about to close for the

:00:37. > :00:42.weekend. Get ready for divergence and delays.

:00:42. > :00:46.We discuss Conservative plans to scrap in efforts for the under 25.

:00:46. > :00:51.This is not about punishing people, it is about saying that you will see

:00:51. > :00:57.the whole world open up to you, that is the whole point.

:00:57. > :01:05.The bomb disposal expert awarded a medal for bravery in Afghanistan.

:01:06. > :01:10.First tonight: Another development in the row over

:01:10. > :01:13.high death rates at Basildon Hospital. Now it seems the health

:01:14. > :01:19.watchdog had concerns much earlier than we thought but the news was

:01:19. > :01:22.kept secret for at least six months. The revelations come in documents

:01:22. > :01:26.uncovered by the Conservative MP Stephen Barclay. They show the Care

:01:26. > :01:32.Quality Commission knew death rates were high by the Spring of 2009. But

:01:32. > :01:36.the full picture did not become public knowledge until the beginning

:01:36. > :01:42.of this year. Now the question of who knew what and when has become

:01:42. > :01:46.very political. The details from our political correspondent Andrew

:01:46. > :01:50.Sinclair. An inquest this week says a catalogue of errors at Basildon

:01:50. > :01:53.Hospital contributed to his death. When you lose someone in tragic

:01:53. > :01:57.circumstances, it can be hard to remember the good times. What do you

:01:57. > :02:03.say to those complaints about the lack of leadership at both ward and

:02:03. > :02:07.board level? Back in 2009, Look East was often reporting concerns about

:02:07. > :02:09.Basildon Hospital. At the time, the Care Quality Commission, which

:02:09. > :02:19.monitors standards in hospitals, gave Basildon a good rating. Last

:02:19. > :02:22.week, two regulatory bodies took action in respect of two NHS

:02:22. > :02:25.Foundation Trusts, Basildon and Thurrock, and Colchester. It was

:02:25. > :02:29.only in November that the Health Secretary sent in staff to help turn

:02:29. > :02:33.things around. This was the first admission that there was a problem.

:02:33. > :02:39.But e—mails unearthed by another MP suggest the CQC had evidence of

:02:39. > :02:42.problems much earlier. An e—mail from its director of engagements,

:02:42. > :03:03.sent to a colleague in 2010, talked about having anxieties.

:03:03. > :03:09.She left the CQC after it was criticised over Mid Staffordshire

:03:09. > :03:13.Hospital. Today, the organisation said it could not comment on e—mails

:03:13. > :03:18.written by people who no longer work there. But in Basildon today,

:03:18. > :03:20.concern from local people. They shouldn't try cover anything up

:03:20. > :03:25.because, obviously, this is people's health we're talking about. They

:03:25. > :03:32.need to know the truth. They have a right to know what is going on. They

:03:32. > :03:35.should do it and not hide it. There is a big political dimension to all

:03:35. > :03:37.this. The Conservatives have long believed that with an election

:03:37. > :03:42.approaching, Labour lent on officials to hide the full truth

:03:42. > :03:45.about Basildon. Today, Stephen Barclay released this minute of a

:03:45. > :03:57.meeting in which a Labour health minister said in early 2010...

:03:57. > :04:02.The Care Quality Commission were being told to either tone down their

:04:02. > :04:05.coverage or withhold information that patients have a right to know

:04:05. > :04:08.and the patients that went into hospitals should have known the full

:04:08. > :04:15.picture, not a glossed over, spun version. The Labour Party declined

:04:15. > :04:19.to be interviewed today, saying this was all a Tory smear and insisted it

:04:19. > :04:28.acted on Basildon as soon as it knew of the problems.

:04:28. > :04:34.Andrew is here now. Was there a cover—up? If so, who was

:04:34. > :04:38.responsible? It seems very clear that CQC knew about Basildon early

:04:38. > :04:43.in 2009 and for some reason did not make it public. That is what we have

:04:43. > :04:48.learnt today. Why did that happen? Because none of those involved will

:04:48. > :04:51.talk to us, we do not know if it was incompetence or whether they were

:04:51. > :04:56.lent on. The Conservatives say that this shows the CQC was lent on by

:04:56. > :04:59.Labour. You could see it like that but could also argue that Mike

:04:59. > :05:03.O'Brien was just being a responsible minister by reminding his officials

:05:03. > :05:05.to think very carefully about anything that goes out close to an

:05:05. > :05:12.election. I don't think it's clear—cut. The parties will argue

:05:12. > :05:16.about it. The MP for Basildon has called for a Cabinet Office inquiry

:05:16. > :05:19.into all this. Labour are saying that the Tories are kicking up a

:05:19. > :05:23.fuss about this to cover—up the fact that they are making to the NHS.

:05:23. > :05:27.Remember, we are in election mode. The parties will keep on going on

:05:27. > :05:30.this because it means so much to them. Thank you.

:05:30. > :05:34.The first in a series of weekend road closures on the A11 in Suffolk

:05:34. > :05:37.begins later this evening. It's all part of the project to dual the

:05:37. > :05:40.remaining single carriageway section of the road between Barton Mills and

:05:40. > :05:47.Thetford. Our chief reporter Kim Riley is at the Fiveways roundabout.

:05:47. > :05:52.Tim. This is the start of the missing

:05:52. > :05:59.link of the A11in that direction and Norwich. Work is well underway of

:05:59. > :06:04.upgrading a five mile section of existing road and building a new

:06:04. > :06:09.bypass for the village nearby. Now the whole purpose is that that is to

:06:09. > :06:14.be prepared for here because this is a massive intersection. This has all

:06:14. > :06:18.got to be dug up and rebuilt. This roundabout is one of the

:06:18. > :06:24.busiest junctions in the region and for the next three weekends, it is

:06:24. > :06:28.being closed in stages to allow a major reconstruction. From late

:06:28. > :06:33.tonight, one section will be out of bounds to traffic as the

:06:33. > :06:40.construction team moves on. It is this section coloured red, blocking

:06:40. > :06:48.access from the Ato the south and the A1101. It means that traffic

:06:48. > :06:54.will be diverted along other roads. They will rejoin the road later.

:06:54. > :06:58.Northbound local traffic will be diverted from red Lodge, eventually

:06:58. > :07:05.rejoining the roundabout through another road. The historic pool in

:07:05. > :07:10.from the round but has always been dependent on passing traffic. The

:07:10. > :07:16.owners bought the hotel six years ago and have turned it into a

:07:16. > :07:19.flourishing business. They said that the Highways Agency first told them

:07:19. > :07:23.that they could be compensated for lack of trade but have now been told

:07:23. > :07:31.it will not happen. Even a promise of road signs, will not be

:07:31. > :07:35.happening. We have not had any contact and my partner got in

:07:35. > :07:38.contact with them. He then said that they would not be putting any signs

:07:39. > :07:43.up so we have been completely misled. Absolutely no sympathy for

:07:43. > :07:49.the fact that this is an old country and that has traded for 500 years.

:07:49. > :07:55.They say they care but their actions have demonstrated that they do not.

:07:55. > :08:00.We have tried hard to work closely with the business in danger we

:08:00. > :08:03.minimise impact. Some businesses where we are compulsory purchasing

:08:03. > :08:09.land will be eligible for compensation. The businesses where

:08:09. > :08:12.we do not take land are eligible for a clean but I cannot guarantee that

:08:12. > :08:17.any compensation would be played. Businesses close by fear the next

:08:17. > :08:20.few weekends will cost them thousands of pounds in lost trade.

:08:20. > :08:23.A cyclist who nearly died after she tried to dodge a closed level

:08:23. > :08:26.crossing barrier has come forward. The incident at Waterbeach in

:08:26. > :08:30.Cambridgeshire was caught on CCTV. British Transport Police say they'll

:08:30. > :08:33.speak to her next week. A former BBC local radio presenter

:08:33. > :08:36.accused of child sex offences has been forced to apologise to the

:08:36. > :08:41.judge and prosecutor at Norwich Crown Court. Michael Souter accused

:08:41. > :08:45.them of being part of a conspiracy to smear him. He denies 19 offences

:08:45. > :08:53.against seven boys and nine counts of possessing indecent images of

:08:53. > :08:57.children. The Prime Minister floated a radical

:08:57. > :09:00.idea this week — scrapping benefits for young people under the age of

:09:00. > :09:04.25. He believes young people should either earn or learn. It's not

:09:04. > :09:06.policy yet but today, Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions

:09:06. > :09:16.Secretary, has been defending the idea at a jobs fair in Essex.

:09:16. > :09:19.It is the second year they have held a job sphere here and today, they

:09:19. > :09:24.were queuing out of the door. Christian has been on job—seeker 's

:09:24. > :09:27.allowance since January. He has had numerous jobs in shops and

:09:27. > :09:31.warehouses but wants to work in construction. I have been offered

:09:31. > :09:37.jobs in shops and it has only been a four—month contract. The minute I

:09:37. > :09:41.come of that, I have to go back on job—seekers and will have learnt

:09:41. > :09:44.anything. I can pay for rent and bits of food but that is. Under an

:09:44. > :09:49.idea of actively being considered, in future, he and other job—seekers

:09:49. > :09:53.may have to take whatever job is offered. At a two—day's there, the

:09:53. > :09:57.Work and Pensions Secretary argued that is what taxpayers expect. He

:09:57. > :10:02.insisted that benefits might only be cut if young people rejected

:10:02. > :10:06.opportunities to work, retrain or take up apprenticeships. The key

:10:06. > :10:11.point is that you stay focused on obtaining work because honestly, the

:10:11. > :10:15.taxpayer, who is also in this debate, has a question which is, if

:10:15. > :10:21.I am paying money to support people, quite right. We also have to

:10:21. > :10:24.expect that when a job becomes available that they take it and try

:10:24. > :10:28.to become free of the benefits system. Youth unemployment is

:10:28. > :10:33.falling but has been stubbornly high for years. An estimated 40% of women

:10:33. > :10:37.under 25 are young mothers. Getting them off benefits and into work is

:10:37. > :10:42.the real challenge. I am a single parent. I can't leave them at home

:10:42. > :10:45.by themselves. I have got nobody to look after them. The unions accused

:10:45. > :10:49.the Conservatives of wanting to force young people into low paid

:10:49. > :10:55.jobs with the prospect of little training. Nobody is forced. To use a

:10:55. > :10:59.term such as people being forced into low paid jobs is a distortion.

:11:00. > :11:04.If that is the only opportunity they have got, surely it is. I think that

:11:04. > :11:09.is the case. Certainly not in a place like this. All of the parties

:11:09. > :11:15.now they ignore the cost of use and implement to their people. This will

:11:15. > :11:18.be a key issue in the next election. —— of youth unemployment to their

:11:18. > :11:25.peril. The MP for Chelmsford has stood down

:11:26. > :11:30.in order to run for possession of Deputy Speaker in the house of

:11:30. > :11:33.commons. He has been a real minister and previously worked for the

:11:33. > :11:44.Department of health. He says it is now time to move on. —— two runs for

:11:44. > :11:47.Deputy Speaker. Growers in the East say they will

:11:47. > :11:50.struggle to find enough reliable workers when the Government

:11:50. > :11:52.abolishes a special scheme at the end of the year.

:11:52. > :11:54.It's called the seasonal agricultural workers scheme. And

:11:55. > :11:58.it's mostly used by overseas students. The Government says it's

:11:58. > :12:09.keen to get UK citizens to fill the gaps.

:12:09. > :12:12.A group of Bulgarian and Romanian fruit pickers on this farm at

:12:12. > :12:20.Tiptree. This is where they make the world—famous jam. This girl is

:12:20. > :12:25.Bulgarian. A 24—year—old student, she has been coming for six years

:12:26. > :12:31.under the seasonal agricultural workers scheme. She is up at first

:12:31. > :12:38.light, hours a day and can earn around £320 per week before tax. We

:12:38. > :12:47.are living in the camp so I've made a lot of friendships there. Not only

:12:48. > :12:53.Bulgarian 's. So I have made different people here. This company

:12:53. > :12:57.have implied foreign workers since 1953. They have come from all over

:12:57. > :13:02.the world to work in Essex and the scheme has always worked well. Fruit

:13:02. > :13:08.yields have been exceptionally good. Flavour has been good. The

:13:08. > :13:13.farm's director is worried that when the scheme comes to an end, he will

:13:13. > :13:17.struggle to get enough reliable workers to pick the fruit. We are

:13:17. > :13:21.licensed by the Home Office. We are monitored by the Home Office. They

:13:21. > :13:25.come and see us several times a year. So a great disappointment and

:13:25. > :13:27.great frustration because it is a scheme that has worked well.

:13:27. > :13:31.Everybody has acknowledged that it has worked well. I think it is a

:13:31. > :13:36.shame to see the whole thing and so easily. The company has invested

:13:36. > :13:40.heavily in the long term future and are very disappointed at what they

:13:40. > :13:43.see as the Government's short—term decision described the scheme. They

:13:43. > :13:47.would never take production abroad to somewhere like Spain but other

:13:47. > :13:50.growers say that is now a real possibility.

:13:50. > :13:53.It's been a week when the use of migrant labour has been making the

:13:53. > :13:56.headlines on this programme. On Monday, our special investigation

:13:56. > :13:58.highlighted the plight of many migrant workers employed through

:13:58. > :14:03.illegal gang masters to harvest leeks in the Fens. Now, the problem

:14:03. > :14:07.with SAWS. The Government wants the soft fruit and vegetable industry to

:14:07. > :14:10.use British and EU workers. But according to James Hallett from the

:14:10. > :14:19.British Growers Association, that's not always possible. What we have

:14:19. > :14:26.found across a number of years, we have recruited from the UK Liverpool

:14:26. > :14:30.and to be perfectly honest, we do find that there is a degree of

:14:30. > :14:36.unreliability for those people who come and take this job. —— the UK

:14:36. > :14:40.labour market. When a product is ready to be harvested and planted,

:14:40. > :14:44.it has to be done at the right time. What will happen when this is

:14:45. > :14:47.abolished? We will end up in a situation where we have a much

:14:47. > :14:51.greater churn of labour coming into the industry. At the moment,

:14:51. > :14:54.typically, one of these workers will remain in post for 24 weeks before

:14:54. > :15:00.heading back to their home country. What we have experienced with other

:15:00. > :15:03.sources of Labour coming in under labour providers and the licensed

:15:03. > :15:06.schemes is that typically able worker will stay in our industry for

:15:06. > :15:10.something like 12 weeks and then will go off and find a role in

:15:10. > :15:16.another industry, such as building and hospitality. We saw earlier this

:15:16. > :15:21.week that many employers are treating these people very badly.

:15:21. > :15:25.They are economically abused, even. Is it not better that we stop it

:15:25. > :15:30.altogether and start from scratch? What I can be very clear about is

:15:30. > :15:34.that employers in this industry are not in the slightest bit interested

:15:34. > :15:38.in exploiting workers. What we are interested in is having a happy

:15:38. > :15:43.workforce that is well paid, well housed and able to work efficiently.

:15:43. > :15:48.Those are fine words but actually if the people who are the growers did

:15:48. > :15:55.not employ people through gang masters, illegal gang masters would

:15:55. > :15:58.not exist. We would love to give 70,000 people in this country a role

:15:58. > :16:02.to come and work in our industry. Quite fangled, we have tried to stop

:16:02. > :16:07.we have tried recruiting. This year, in fact, there was a pilot scheme.

:16:07. > :16:11.We only managed to get 50 people successfully into roles because

:16:11. > :16:16.people did not appear interested. Where are you shocked by what you

:16:16. > :16:19.saw this week? The four I was. It is that people that are working in this

:16:19. > :16:23.industry, in this country, in this day and age should be treated this

:16:23. > :16:29.way. It is wrong and we will be working incredibly hard with the

:16:29. > :16:31.Labour providers involved, the organisations representing them and

:16:32. > :16:35.the GLA to ensure that we find instances of this and get rid of it

:16:35. > :16:40.because we do not want workers being treated that way when they are doing

:16:40. > :16:45.a hard days work. It seems to me that both you and the

:16:45. > :16:48.Government want the same thing. So why is it that you disagree with

:16:48. > :16:52.what they are doing? You're absolutely right. We and the

:16:52. > :16:57.Government to want the same thing. The Government want more jobs and

:16:57. > :17:00.growth in the economy. Yet in the next breath, another government

:17:00. > :17:05.department, the Home Office, are taking away a bedrock of our labour

:17:05. > :17:12.pool by taking away this scheme. We are as frustrated as many others

:17:12. > :17:15.with apparently a government who are acting and not understanding what

:17:15. > :17:20.the left and right hand or about. Would you say the Government is

:17:20. > :17:23.grandstanding? They are absolutely reacting to some of the comedy Rice,

:17:23. > :17:34.Daily Mail politics that goes around immigration. —— some of the, dear I

:17:34. > :17:38.see it, Daily Mail politics. Workers come into this country for less than

:17:38. > :17:41.six months and go back home where is all this concern is about

:17:42. > :17:46.immigration. This scheme is nothing to do with that. It is about migrant

:17:46. > :17:50.workers coming for a short period of time. I am afraid to say, this has

:17:50. > :17:54.probably been a political decision, not necessarily based on sound

:17:54. > :17:57.economic sense and evidence. Thank you very much. Thank you.

:17:57. > :18:00.An army bomb disposal expert has received one of the highest awards

:18:00. > :18:04.for bravery after saving the lives of several soldiers in Afghanistan.

:18:04. > :18:07.Andy Peat, based at Wimbish in Essex, was with a Danish patrol when

:18:07. > :18:12.one of them was fatally injured by an IED. In a moment, I'll be

:18:12. > :18:20.speaking to him. First, this from our Defence reporter Alex Dunlop.

:18:20. > :18:31.This medal is given to very few. Andy Pete is one of the few. Last

:18:31. > :18:34.winter, TV news in Denmark reported how and Danish special forces were

:18:34. > :18:39.caught in an explosion. One man died but his actions saved the lives of

:18:39. > :18:41.many others. He disarmed a second bomb and then braced himself across

:18:41. > :18:53.another saw the patrol could be extracted. Andreas Oliver Peat is

:18:53. > :18:57.awarded the George medal. Idioms are already shown their

:18:57. > :19:03.gratitude. Crown Prince Philippe personally handed the soldier the

:19:03. > :19:10.prized Danish award, for the first time to a non—Danish. As soon as you

:19:10. > :19:17.are rewarded this honour, you will be known in Denmark. He will be on a

:19:17. > :19:24.very significant list of names. Honoured also, Rachel Hughes, the

:19:25. > :19:28.Army medical officer saved lives on three separate occasions, including

:19:28. > :19:33.Afghan children. She was mentioned in Dispatches. As we withdraw from

:19:33. > :19:39.Afghanistan, so to the number of honours. These recognised part of

:19:39. > :19:42.next increasingly select few. —— part of an increasingly select.

:19:42. > :19:45.As we heard in that report, Warrant officer Andy Peat not only disarmed

:19:45. > :19:48.a bomb which was underneath one of his colleagues he also physically

:19:48. > :19:52.covered the device himself so that his team could get the injured

:19:52. > :19:56.soldier out. I spoke to him earlier and asked him what was going through

:19:56. > :20:04.his mind at the time. My concern at that stage was is in the dark we

:20:04. > :20:10.concentrate on the covering the casualty, which was a major priority

:20:10. > :20:13.at that stage, the guys would inadvertently kicked the unstable

:20:13. > :20:20.device that high had just taken some action against. —— the unstable

:20:20. > :20:24.device that I had. The mindset was that if I was too braced myself

:20:24. > :20:29.against the wall, and let the guys shimmied past me, they would

:20:29. > :20:34.physically have to push me onto the device for it to initiate. So they

:20:34. > :20:38.could then set their minds on recovering the casualty from the

:20:38. > :20:41.roof. They did not really have to worry about the device because I had

:20:42. > :20:48.that one covered. What does it mean to you to get this medal? I am not

:20:48. > :20:53.entirely sure it has sunk in. It has been a bit of a roller—coaster this

:20:53. > :20:58.week. I am immensely proud. I would definitely, you know, add that if I

:20:58. > :21:02.had a different sort of calibre of individuals on that roof, I think

:21:02. > :21:08.the outcome would have been very different. You have been recognised

:21:08. > :21:17.also in Denmark by being given an important Danish award. What was it

:21:17. > :21:20.like being given that one? I mean, it is fantastic privilege to be

:21:20. > :21:23.recognised by your own country but to be recognised by somebody else's

:21:23. > :21:31.and the community that I was working with, yes, I am speechless. Yes. You

:21:32. > :21:36.also got awarded some money was of the Danish award which I know that

:21:36. > :21:43.you donated to the Danish soldier's family. Yes. The MoD have a policy

:21:43. > :21:46.that British soldiers don't take financial incentives from foreign

:21:46. > :21:51.governments. But, you know, primarily, even before being

:21:51. > :22:00.informed of the policy, my wife and I had had a discussion and we felt

:22:00. > :22:03.that the casualty's widow and family, with three children, would

:22:03. > :22:08.clearly benefit a lot more than we would. It is great to talk to. Thank

:22:08. > :22:14.you very much for being on the programme. Thank you. I am always

:22:14. > :22:18.staggered when people describe an act of bravery, they do it in such

:22:18. > :22:21.ordinary conversational language. And always very keen to see as part

:22:21. > :22:24.of a team. Part of a team, absolutely.

:22:24. > :22:27.Rugby now and the last time Northampton Saints played Leicester

:22:27. > :22:30.it ended in heartbreak at the Premiership final. But over the

:22:30. > :22:34.summer, they've brought in some big names — among them George North.

:22:34. > :22:36.But they also signed one of the best prop forwards in the game — the

:22:36. > :22:40.England international Alex Corbisiero. James Burridge has been

:22:40. > :22:44.to meet him at his new home in Northamptonshire

:22:44. > :22:59.—— Northamptonshire. This started in Argentina with England, ending in

:22:59. > :23:02.Australia. He pulverised two packs of forwards, helped when two test

:23:03. > :23:08.series and scored that unforgettable try. Touching down after 77 seconds,

:23:08. > :23:12.you must have been euphoric. I was just trying to not get too excited

:23:12. > :23:17.and lose my head and start running around like a madman. Just staying

:23:17. > :23:23.focused on the task at hand. But now, it was awesome. It wasn't till

:23:23. > :23:29.after the game that you get to enjoy it and sit back and reflect on it.

:23:29. > :23:34.Alex grew up watching and wrestling. He has since grappled with some of

:23:34. > :23:37.the ugliest packs in rugby. Did you think about being a wrestler? It is

:23:37. > :23:40.always something that I said to myself, if I did not play rugby I

:23:40. > :23:47.would have tried it. I am sure I would have tried it. No, it is

:23:47. > :23:50.always something, you know, if I had not play rugby or had not had this

:23:50. > :23:56.passion, I probably have tried it. Tomorrow, his task is to be placed

:23:56. > :24:01.into submission. Their archrivals, who they lost to in the Premiership

:24:01. > :24:05.in May and have not beaten in eight games. Playing Leicester is never

:24:05. > :24:09.easy. It is never an easy win, never an easy time at the office. It is

:24:09. > :24:13.going to be tough but we are going to go out there and try and

:24:13. > :24:17.implement our game plan and see what happens. He understands the game. He

:24:17. > :24:21.lost the game. He lost the scrum. He is a good chatter. He is ably

:24:21. > :24:30.likeable person around the field and I think he has just added to the

:24:30. > :24:37.mix. He is just one of the prized signings at the team. The wrestle at

:24:37. > :24:44.the stadium will be worth, well watching —— well worth watching.

:24:44. > :24:47.If you're one of the forwards who had played against them, James did

:24:47. > :24:50.not mean to say that you were ugly! Adjusting to mention Max Whitlock.

:24:50. > :24:53.Last night, he produced an excellent display to finish fourth in the

:24:53. > :24:56.all—round competition at the World Championships. —— just time to

:24:56. > :24:59.mention. Tomorrow, he will be in the final of the Pommel Horse. He was

:24:59. > :25:06.very good in that yesterday. Let's have a look at the weather.

:25:06. > :25:10.It has not been a bad day. Yes, we have had some showers but they have

:25:10. > :25:15.rattled through very quickly, an very blustery winds. These are the

:25:15. > :25:21.maximum cost at our official recording station. All of our

:25:21. > :25:25.counties the end of at 30 mph. Those winds are starting to ease down. We

:25:25. > :25:30.have got a few showers out there but a lot of dry weather. Some clear

:25:31. > :25:34.skies also. I think those showers will fade away fairly quickly as

:25:34. > :25:40.they push away to the east. Then, we're left with a largely dry May. A

:25:40. > :25:44.fair amount of cloud at times but some clear spells also. —— a fairly

:25:44. > :25:50.dry night. Some mist and fog also. It will be cooler than recent nights

:25:50. > :25:55.but still above average for a time of year. Some rural spots are likely

:25:55. > :25:59.to drop into single figures. As I said, those winds are already

:25:59. > :26:04.starting to ease so we are looking at a very light breeze by the end of

:26:04. > :26:06.the night. Tomorrow, we have high pressure building from the

:26:06. > :26:11.south—west. Actually, this stays with us for a couple of days.

:26:11. > :26:13.Difficulty will be judging the amounts of clothes from day—to—day.

:26:13. > :26:21.More about that in a moment. Tomorrow, some mist and fog. ——

:26:21. > :26:26.amount of clouds. For most others, a dry day. Yes, there will be a fair

:26:26. > :26:33.amount of cloud but should see some brightness. Temperatures, at best,

:26:33. > :26:37.even with the clouds, it will be around 18 Celsius which is 64

:26:37. > :26:43.Fahrenheit. The best of any sunshine will bring it a degree higher. The

:26:43. > :26:50.difference tomorrow is that we are going to have much lighter winds. As

:26:51. > :26:54.we head into the later part of the afternoon and evening, one or two

:26:54. > :27:00.showers but a largely dry end to the day. So Sunday and Monday, two very

:27:00. > :27:03.similar days as it stands. The high pressure Steve Douglas. We will have

:27:03. > :27:10.some mist and fog first thing but then it will be fine and dry. —— the

:27:10. > :27:15.high pressure stays with us. On Tuesday, a lot of uncertainty. It

:27:15. > :27:19.all depends on the movements of a weather front. At the moment, it

:27:19. > :27:21.looks like it will be pretty weak and fragmented so introducing more

:27:21. > :27:26.in the way of cloud and perhaps a little bit of light and patchy rain.

:27:26. > :27:30.Even on Tuesday, at the moment, it looks like it will be a lot of fine

:27:30. > :27:32.and dry weather. We have above average temperatures and light

:27:32. > :27:38.winds. Julie, thank you very much.

:27:38. > :27:39.That's it for this week. We will see you on Monday. Have a great weekend.

:27:39. > :27:44.Goodbye.
