Watchdog 's Hospital's result of the river settlements. We should be able

:00:21.:00:27.

to trust hospitals. Phone—mac the need to know the truth. It is their

:00:27.:00:31.

right to know what is going on. The A11is about to close for the

:00:31.:00:37.

weekend. Get ready for divergence and delays.

:00:37.:00:42.

We discuss Conservative plans to scrap in efforts for the under 25.

:00:42.:00:46.

This is not about punishing people, it is about saying that you will see

:00:46.:00:51.

the whole world open up to you, that is the whole point.

:00:51.:00:57.

The bomb disposal expert awarded a medal for bravery in Afghanistan.

:00:57.:01:05.

First tonight: Another development in the row over

:01:06.:01:10.

high death rates at Basildon Hospital. Now it seems the health

:01:10.:01:13.

watchdog had concerns much earlier than we thought but the news was

:01:14.:01:19.

kept secret for at least six months. The revelations come in documents

:01:19.:01:22.

uncovered by the Conservative MP Stephen Barclay. They show the Care

:01:22.:01:26.

Quality Commission knew death rates were high by the Spring of 2009. But

:01:26.:01:32.

the full picture did not become public knowledge until the beginning

:01:32.:01:36.

of this year. Now the question of who knew what and when has become

:01:36.:01:42.

very political. The details from our political correspondent Andrew

:01:42.:01:46.

Sinclair. An inquest this week says a catalogue of errors at Basildon

:01:46.:01:50.

Hospital contributed to his death. When you lose someone in tragic

:01:50.:01:53.

circumstances, it can be hard to remember the good times. What do you

:01:53.:01:57.

say to those complaints about the lack of leadership at both ward and

:01:57.:02:03.

board level? Back in 2009, Look East was often reporting concerns about

:02:03.:02:07.

Basildon Hospital. At the time, the Care Quality Commission, which

:02:07.:02:09.

monitors standards in hospitals, gave Basildon a good rating. Last

:02:09.:02:19.

week, two regulatory bodies took action in respect of two NHS

:02:19.:02:22.

Foundation Trusts, Basildon and Thurrock, and Colchester. It was

:02:22.:02:25.

only in November that the Health Secretary sent in staff to help turn

:02:25.:02:29.

things around. This was the first admission that there was a problem.

:02:29.:02:33.

But e—mails unearthed by another MP suggest the CQC had evidence of

:02:33.:02:39.

problems much earlier. An e—mail from its director of engagements,

:02:39.:02:42.

sent to a colleague in 2010, talked about having anxieties.

:02:42.:03:03.

She left the CQC after it was criticised over Mid Staffordshire

:03:03.:03:09.

Hospital. Today, the organisation said it could not comment on e—mails

:03:09.:03:13.

written by people who no longer work there. But in Basildon today,

:03:13.:03:18.

concern from local people. They shouldn't try cover anything up

:03:18.:03:20.

because, obviously, this is people's health we're talking about. They

:03:20.:03:25.

need to know the truth. They have a right to know what is going on. They

:03:25.:03:32.

should do it and not hide it. There is a big political dimension to all

:03:32.:03:35.

this. The Conservatives have long believed that with an election

:03:35.:03:37.

approaching, Labour lent on officials to hide the full truth

:03:37.:03:42.

about Basildon. Today, Stephen Barclay released this minute of a

:03:42.:03:45.

meeting in which a Labour health minister said in early 2010...

:03:45.:03:57.

The Care Quality Commission were being told to either tone down their

:03:57.:04:02.

coverage or withhold information that patients have a right to know

:04:02.:04:05.

and the patients that went into hospitals should have known the full

:04:05.:04:08.

picture, not a glossed over, spun version. The Labour Party declined

:04:08.:04:15.

to be interviewed today, saying this was all a Tory smear and insisted it

:04:15.:04:19.

acted on Basildon as soon as it knew of the problems.

:04:19.:04:28.

Andrew is here now. Was there a cover—up? If so, who was

:04:28.:04:34.

responsible? It seems very clear that CQC knew about Basildon early

:04:34.:04:38.

in 2009 and for some reason did not make it public. That is what we have

:04:38.:04:43.

learnt today. Why did that happen? Because none of those involved will

:04:43.:04:48.

talk to us, we do not know if it was incompetence or whether they were

:04:48.:04:51.

lent on. The Conservatives say that this shows the CQC was lent on by

:04:51.:04:56.

Labour. You could see it like that but could also argue that Mike

:04:56.:04:59.

O'Brien was just being a responsible minister by reminding his officials

:04:59.:05:03.

to think very carefully about anything that goes out close to an

:05:03.:05:05.

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

:05:05.:05:12.

about it. The MP for Basildon has called for a Cabinet Office inquiry

:05:12.:05:16.

into all this. Labour are saying that the Tories are kicking up a

:05:16.:05:19.

fuss about this to cover—up the fact that they are making to the NHS.

:05:19.:05:23.

Remember, we are in election mode. The parties will keep on going on

:05:23.:05:27.

this because it means so much to them. Thank you.

:05:27.:05:30.

The first in a series of weekend road closures on the A11 in Suffolk

:05:30.:05:34.

begins later this evening. It's all part of the project to dual the

:05:34.:05:37.

remaining single carriageway section of the road between Barton Mills and

:05:37.:05:40.

Thetford. Our chief reporter Kim Riley is at the Fiveways roundabout.

:05:40.:05:47.

Tim. This is the start of the missing

:05:47.:05:52.

link of the A11in that direction and Norwich. Work is well underway of

:05:52.:05:59.

upgrading a five mile section of existing road and building a new

:05:59.:06:04.

bypass for the village nearby. Now the whole purpose is that that is to

:06:04.:06:09.

be prepared for here because this is a massive intersection. This has all

:06:09.:06:14.

got to be dug up and rebuilt. This roundabout is one of the

:06:14.:06:18.

busiest junctions in the region and for the next three weekends, it is

:06:18.:06:24.

being closed in stages to allow a major reconstruction. From late

:06:24.:06:28.

tonight, one section will be out of bounds to traffic as the

:06:28.:06:33.

construction team moves on. It is this section coloured red, blocking

:06:33.:06:40.

access from the Ato the south and the A1101. It means that traffic

:06:40.:06:48.

will be diverted along other roads. They will rejoin the road later.

:06:48.:06:54.

Northbound local traffic will be diverted from red Lodge, eventually

:06:54.:06:58.

rejoining the roundabout through another road. The historic pool in

:06:58.:07:05.

from the round but has always been dependent on passing traffic. The

:07:05.:07:10.

owners bought the hotel six years ago and have turned it into a

:07:10.:07:16.

flourishing business. They said that the Highways Agency first told them

:07:16.:07:19.

that they could be compensated for lack of trade but have now been told

:07:19.:07:23.

it will not happen. Even a promise of road signs, will not be

:07:23.:07:31.

happening. We have not had any contact and my partner got in

:07:31.:07:35.

contact with them. He then said that they would not be putting any signs

:07:35.:07:38.

up so we have been completely misled. Absolutely no sympathy for

:07:39.:07:43.

the fact that this is an old country and that has traded for 500 years.

:07:43.:07:49.

They say they care but their actions have demonstrated that they do not.

:07:49.:07:55.

We have tried hard to work closely with the business in danger we

:07:55.:08:00.

minimise impact. Some businesses where we are compulsory purchasing

:08:00.:08:03.

land will be eligible for compensation. The businesses where

:08:03.:08:09.

we do not take land are eligible for a clean but I cannot guarantee that

:08:09.:08:12.

any compensation would be played. Businesses close by fear the next

:08:12.:08:17.

few weekends will cost them thousands of pounds in lost trade.

:08:17.:08:20.

A cyclist who nearly died after she tried to dodge a closed level

:08:20.:08:23.

crossing barrier has come forward. The incident at Waterbeach in

:08:23.:08:26.

Cambridgeshire was caught on CCTV. British Transport Police say they'll

:08:26.:08:30.

speak to her next week. A former BBC local radio presenter

:08:30.:08:33.

accused of child sex offences has been forced to apologise to the

:08:33.:08:36.

judge and prosecutor at Norwich Crown Court. Michael Souter accused

:08:36.:08:41.

them of being part of a conspiracy to smear him. He denies 19 offences

:08:41.:08:45.

against seven boys and nine counts of possessing indecent images of

:08:45.:08:53.

children. The Prime Minister floated a radical

:08:53.:08:57.

idea this week — scrapping benefits for young people under the age of

:08:57.:09:00.

25. He believes young people should either earn or learn. It's not

:09:00.:09:04.

policy yet but today, Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions

:09:04.:09:06.

Secretary, has been defending the idea at a jobs fair in Essex.

:09:06.:09:16.

It is the second year they have held a job sphere here and today, they

:09:16.:09:19.

were queuing out of the door. Christian has been on job—seeker 's

:09:19.:09:24.

allowance since January. He has had numerous jobs in shops and

:09:24.:09:27.

warehouses but wants to work in construction. I have been offered

:09:27.:09:31.

jobs in shops and it has only been a four—month contract. The minute I

:09:31.:09:37.

come of that, I have to go back on job—seekers and will have learnt

:09:37.:09:41.

anything. I can pay for rent and bits of food but that is. Under an

:09:41.:09:44.

idea of actively being considered, in future, he and other job—seekers

:09:44.:09:49.

may have to take whatever job is offered. At a two—day's there, the

:09:49.:09:53.

Work and Pensions Secretary argued that is what taxpayers expect. He

:09:53.:09:57.

insisted that benefits might only be cut if young people rejected

:09:57.:10:02.

opportunities to work, retrain or take up apprenticeships. The key

:10:02.:10:06.

point is that you stay focused on obtaining work because honestly, the

:10:06.:10:11.

taxpayer, who is also in this debate, has a question which is, if

:10:11.:10:15.

I am paying money to support people, quite right. We also have to

:10:15.:10:21.

expect that when a job becomes available that they take it and try

:10:21.:10:24.

to become free of the benefits system. Youth unemployment is

:10:24.:10:28.

falling but has been stubbornly high for years. An estimated 40% of women

:10:28.:10:33.

under 25 are young mothers. Getting them off benefits and into work is

:10:33.:10:37.

the real challenge. I am a single parent. I can't leave them at home

:10:37.:10:42.

by themselves. I have got nobody to look after them. The unions accused

:10:42.:10:45.

the Conservatives of wanting to force young people into low paid

:10:45.:10:49.

jobs with the prospect of little training. Nobody is forced. To use a

:10:49.:10:55.

term such as people being forced into low paid jobs is a distortion.

:10:55.:10:59.

If that is the only opportunity they have got, surely it is. I think that

:11:00.:11:04.

is the case. Certainly not in a place like this. All of the parties

:11:04.:11:09.

now they ignore the cost of use and implement to their people. This will

:11:09.:11:15.

be a key issue in the next election. —— of youth unemployment to their

:11:15.:11:18.

peril. The MP for Chelmsford has stood down

:11:18.:11:25.

in order to run for possession of Deputy Speaker in the house of

:11:26.:11:30.

commons. He has been a real minister and previously worked for the

:11:30.:11:33.

Department of health. He says it is now time to move on. —— two runs for

:11:33.:11:44.

Deputy Speaker. Growers in the East say they will

:11:44.:11:47.

struggle to find enough reliable workers when the Government

:11:47.:11:50.

abolishes a special scheme at the end of the year.

:11:50.:11:52.

It's called the seasonal agricultural workers scheme. And

:11:52.:11:54.

it's mostly used by overseas students. The Government says it's

:11:55.:11:58.

keen to get UK citizens to fill the gaps.

:11:58.:12:09.

A group of Bulgarian and Romanian fruit pickers on this farm at

:12:09.:12:12.

Tiptree. This is where they make the world—famous jam. This girl is

:12:12.:12:20.

Bulgarian. A 24—year—old student, she has been coming for six years

:12:20.:12:25.

under the seasonal agricultural workers scheme. She is up at first

:12:26.:12:31.

light, hours a day and can earn around £320 per week before tax. We

:12:31.:12:38.

are living in the camp so I've made a lot of friendships there. Not only

:12:38.:12:47.

Bulgarian 's. So I have made different people here. This company

:12:48.:12:53.

have implied foreign workers since 1953. They have come from all over

:12:53.:12:57.

the world to work in Essex and the scheme has always worked well. Fruit

:12:57.:13:02.

yields have been exceptionally good. Flavour has been good. The

:13:02.:13:08.

farm's director is worried that when the scheme comes to an end, he will

:13:08.:13:13.

struggle to get enough reliable workers to pick the fruit. We are

:13:13.:13:17.

licensed by the Home Office. We are monitored by the Home Office. They

:13:17.:13:21.

come and see us several times a year. So a great disappointment and

:13:21.:13:25.

great frustration because it is a scheme that has worked well.

:13:25.:13:27.

Everybody has acknowledged that it has worked well. I think it is a

:13:27.:13:31.

shame to see the whole thing and so easily. The company has invested

:13:31.:13:36.

heavily in the long term future and are very disappointed at what they

:13:36.:13:40.

see as the Government's short—term decision described the scheme. They

:13:40.:13:43.

would never take production abroad to somewhere like Spain but other

:13:43.:13:47.

growers say that is now a real possibility.

:13:47.:13:50.

It's been a week when the use of migrant labour has been making the

:13:50.:13:53.

headlines on this programme. On Monday, our special investigation

:13:53.:13:56.

highlighted the plight of many migrant workers employed through

:13:56.:13:58.

illegal gang masters to harvest leeks in the Fens. Now, the problem

:13:58.:14:03.

with SAWS. The Government wants the soft fruit and vegetable industry to

:14:03.:14:07.

use British and EU workers. But according to James Hallett from the

:14:07.:14:10.

British Growers Association, that's not always possible. What we have

:14:10.:14:19.

found across a number of years, we have recruited from the UK Liverpool

:14:19.:14:26.

and to be perfectly honest, we do find that there is a degree of

:14:26.:14:30.

unreliability for those people who come and take this job. —— the UK

:14:30.:14:36.

labour market. When a product is ready to be harvested and planted,

:14:36.:14:40.

it has to be done at the right time. What will happen when this is

:14:40.:14:44.

abolished? We will end up in a situation where we have a much

:14:45.:14:47.

greater churn of labour coming into the industry. At the moment,

:14:47.:14:51.

typically, one of these workers will remain in post for 24 weeks before

:14:51.:14:54.

heading back to their home country. What we have experienced with other

:14:54.:15:00.

sources of Labour coming in under labour providers and the licensed

:15:00.:15:03.

schemes is that typically able worker will stay in our industry for

:15:03.:15:06.

something like 12 weeks and then will go off and find a role in

:15:06.:15:10.

another industry, such as building and hospitality. We saw earlier this

:15:10.:15:16.

week that many employers are treating these people very badly.

:15:16.:15:21.

They are economically abused, even. Is it not better that we stop it

:15:21.:15:25.

altogether and start from scratch? What I can be very clear about is

:15:25.:15:30.

that employers in this industry are not in the slightest bit interested

:15:30.:15:34.

in exploiting workers. What we are interested in is having a happy

:15:34.:15:38.

workforce that is well paid, well housed and able to work efficiently.

:15:38.:15:43.

Those are fine words but actually if the people who are the growers did

:15:43.:15:48.

not employ people through gang masters, illegal gang masters would

:15:48.:15:55.

not exist. We would love to give 70,000 people in this country a role

:15:55.:15:58.

to come and work in our industry. Quite fangled, we have tried to stop

:15:58.:16:02.

we have tried recruiting. This year, in fact, there was a pilot scheme.

:16:02.:16:07.

We only managed to get 50 people successfully into roles because

:16:07.:16:11.

people did not appear interested. Where are you shocked by what you

:16:11.:16:16.

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

:16:16.:16:19.

industry, in this country, in this day and age should be treated this

:16:19.:16:23.

way. It is wrong and we will be working incredibly hard with the

:16:23.:16:29.

Labour providers involved, the organisations representing them and

:16:29.:16:31.

the GLA to ensure that we find instances of this and get rid of it

:16:32.:16:35.

because we do not want workers being treated that way when they are doing

:16:35.:16:40.

a hard days work. It seems to me that both you and the

:16:40.:16:45.

Government want the same thing. So why is it that you disagree with

:16:45.:16:48.

what they are doing? You're absolutely right. We and the

:16:48.:16:52.

Government to want the same thing. The Government want more jobs and

:16:52.:16:57.

growth in the economy. Yet in the next breath, another government

:16:57.:17:00.

department, the Home Office, are taking away a bedrock of our labour

:17:00.:17:05.

pool by taking away this scheme. We are as frustrated as many others

:17:05.:17:12.

with apparently a government who are acting and not understanding what

:17:12.:17:15.

the left and right hand or about. Would you say the Government is

:17:15.:17:20.

grandstanding? They are absolutely reacting to some of the comedy Rice,

:17:20.:17:23.

Daily Mail politics that goes around immigration. —— some of the, dear I

:17:23.:17:34.

see it, Daily Mail politics. Workers come into this country for less than

:17:34.:17:38.

six months and go back home where is all this concern is about

:17:38.:17:41.

immigration. This scheme is nothing to do with that. It is about migrant

:17:42.:17:46.

workers coming for a short period of time. I am afraid to say, this has

:17:46.:17:50.

probably been a political decision, not necessarily based on sound

:17:50.:17:54.

economic sense and evidence. Thank you very much. Thank you.

:17:54.:17:57.

An army bomb disposal expert has received one of the highest awards

:17:57.:18:00.

for bravery after saving the lives of several soldiers in Afghanistan.

:18:00.:18:04.

Andy Peat, based at Wimbish in Essex, was with a Danish patrol when

:18:04.:18:07.

one of them was fatally injured by an IED. In a moment, I'll be

:18:07.:18:12.

speaking to him. First, this from our Defence reporter Alex Dunlop.

:18:12.:18:20.

This medal is given to very few. Andy Pete is one of the few. Last

:18:20.:18:31.

winter, TV news in Denmark reported how and Danish special forces were

:18:31.:18:34.

caught in an explosion. One man died but his actions saved the lives of

:18:34.:18:39.

many others. He disarmed a second bomb and then braced himself across

:18:39.:18:41.

another saw the patrol could be extracted. Andreas Oliver Peat is

:18:41.:18:53.

awarded the George medal. Idioms are already shown their

:18:53.:18:57.

gratitude. Crown Prince Philippe personally handed the soldier the

:18:57.:19:03.

prized Danish award, for the first time to a non—Danish. As soon as you

:19:03.:19:10.

are rewarded this honour, you will be known in Denmark. He will be on a

:19:10.:19:17.

very significant list of names. Honoured also, Rachel Hughes, the

:19:17.:19:24.

Army medical officer saved lives on three separate occasions, including

:19:25.:19:28.

Afghan children. She was mentioned in Dispatches. As we withdraw from

:19:28.:19:33.

Afghanistan, so to the number of honours. These recognised part of

:19:33.:19:39.

next increasingly select few. —— part of an increasingly select.

:19:39.:19:42.

As we heard in that report, Warrant officer Andy Peat not only disarmed

:19:42.:19:45.

a bomb which was underneath one of his colleagues he also physically

:19:45.:19:48.

covered the device himself so that his team could get the injured

:19:48.:19:52.

soldier out. I spoke to him earlier and asked him what was going through

:19:52.:19:56.

his mind at the time. My concern at that stage was is in the dark we

:19:56.:20:04.

concentrate on the covering the casualty, which was a major priority

:20:04.:20:10.

at that stage, the guys would inadvertently kicked the unstable

:20:10.:20:13.

device that high had just taken some action against. —— the unstable

:20:13.:20:20.

device that I had. The mindset was that if I was too braced myself

:20:20.:20:24.

against the wall, and let the guys shimmied past me, they would

:20:24.:20:29.

physically have to push me onto the device for it to initiate. So they

:20:29.:20:34.

could then set their minds on recovering the casualty from the

:20:34.:20:38.

roof. They did not really have to worry about the device because I had

:20:38.:20:41.

that one covered. What does it mean to you to get this medal? I am not

:20:42.:20:48.

entirely sure it has sunk in. It has been a bit of a roller—coaster this

:20:48.:20:53.

week. I am immensely proud. I would definitely, you know, add that if I

:20:53.:20:58.

had a different sort of calibre of individuals on that roof, I think

:20:58.:21:02.

the outcome would have been very different. You have been recognised

:21:02.:21:08.

also in Denmark by being given an important Danish award. What was it

:21:08.:21:17.

like being given that one? I mean, it is fantastic privilege to be

:21:17.:21:20.

recognised by your own country but to be recognised by somebody else's

:21:20.:21:23.

and the community that I was working with, yes, I am speechless. Yes. You

:21:23.:21:31.

also got awarded some money was of the Danish award which I know that

:21:32.:21:36.

you donated to the Danish soldier's family. Yes. The MoD have a policy

:21:36.:21:43.

that British soldiers don't take financial incentives from foreign

:21:43.:21:46.

governments. But, you know, primarily, even before being

:21:46.:21:51.

informed of the policy, my wife and I had had a discussion and we felt

:21:51.:22:00.

that the casualty's widow and family, with three children, would

:22:00.:22:03.

clearly benefit a lot more than we would. It is great to talk to. Thank

:22:03.:22:08.

you very much for being on the programme. Thank you. I am always

:22:08.:22:14.

staggered when people describe an act of bravery, they do it in such

:22:14.:22:18.

ordinary conversational language. And always very keen to see as part

:22:18.:22:21.

of a team. Part of a team, absolutely.

:22:21.:22:24.

Rugby now and the last time Northampton Saints played Leicester

:22:24.:22:27.

it ended in heartbreak at the Premiership final. But over the

:22:27.:22:30.

summer, they've brought in some big names — among them George North.

:22:30.:22:34.

But they also signed one of the best prop forwards in the game — the

:22:34.:22:36.

England international Alex Corbisiero. James Burridge has been

:22:36.:22:40.

to meet him at his new home in Northamptonshire

:22:40.:22:44.

—— Northamptonshire. This started in Argentina with England, ending in

:22:44.:22:59.

Australia. He pulverised two packs of forwards, helped when two test

:22:59.:23:02.

series and scored that unforgettable try. Touching down after 77 seconds,

:23:03.:23:08.

you must have been euphoric. I was just trying to not get too excited

:23:08.:23:12.

and lose my head and start running around like a madman. Just staying

:23:12.:23:17.

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

:23:17.:23:23.

after the game that you get to enjoy it and sit back and reflect on it.

:23:23.:23:29.

Alex grew up watching and wrestling. He has since grappled with some of

:23:29.:23:34.

the ugliest packs in rugby. Did you think about being a wrestler? It is

:23:34.:23:37.

always something that I said to myself, if I did not play rugby I

:23:37.:23:40.

would have tried it. I am sure I would have tried it. No, it is

:23:40.:23:47.

always something, you know, if I had not play rugby or had not had this

:23:47.:23:50.

passion, I probably have tried it. Tomorrow, his task is to be placed

:23:50.:23:56.

into submission. Their archrivals, who they lost to in the Premiership

:23:56.:24:01.

in May and have not beaten in eight games. Playing Leicester is never

:24:01.:24:05.

easy. It is never an easy win, never an easy time at the office. It is

:24:05.:24:09.

going to be tough but we are going to go out there and try and

:24:09.:24:13.

implement our game plan and see what happens. He understands the game. He

:24:13.:24:17.

lost the game. He lost the scrum. He is a good chatter. He is ably

:24:17.:24:21.

likeable person around the field and I think he has just added to the

:24:21.:24:30.

mix. He is just one of the prized signings at the team. The wrestle at

:24:30.:24:37.

the stadium will be worth, well watching —— well worth watching.

:24:37.:24:44.

If you're one of the forwards who had played against them, James did

:24:44.:24:47.

not mean to say that you were ugly! Adjusting to mention Max Whitlock.

:24:47.:24:50.

Last night, he produced an excellent display to finish fourth in the

:24:50.:24:53.

all—round competition at the World Championships. —— just time to

:24:53.:24:56.

mention. Tomorrow, he will be in the final of the Pommel Horse. He was

:24:56.:24:59.

very good in that yesterday. Let's have a look at the weather.

:24:59.:25:06.

It has not been a bad day. Yes, we have had some showers but they have

:25:06.:25:10.

rattled through very quickly, an very blustery winds. These are the

:25:10.:25:15.

maximum cost at our official recording station. All of our

:25:15.:25:21.

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

:25:21.:25:25.

have got a few showers out there but a lot of dry weather. Some clear

:25:25.:25:30.

skies also. I think those showers will fade away fairly quickly as

:25:31.:25:34.

they push away to the east. Then, we're left with a largely dry May. A

:25:34.:25:40.

fair amount of cloud at times but some clear spells also. —— a fairly

:25:40.:25:44.

dry night. Some mist and fog also. It will be cooler than recent nights

:25:44.:25:50.

but still above average for a time of year. Some rural spots are likely

:25:50.:25:55.

to drop into single figures. As I said, those winds are already

:25:55.:25:59.

starting to ease so we are looking at a very light breeze by the end of

:25:59.:26:04.

the night. Tomorrow, we have high pressure building from the

:26:04.:26:06.

south—west. Actually, this stays with us for a couple of days.

:26:06.:26:11.

Difficulty will be judging the amounts of clothes from day—to—day.

:26:11.:26:13.

More about that in a moment. Tomorrow, some mist and fog. ——

:26:13.:26:21.

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

:26:21.:26:26.

amount of cloud but should see some brightness. Temperatures, at best,

:26:26.:26:33.

even with the clouds, it will be around 18 Celsius which is 64

:26:33.:26:37.

Fahrenheit. The best of any sunshine will bring it a degree higher. The

:26:37.:26:43.

difference tomorrow is that we are going to have much lighter winds. As

:26:43.:26:50.

we head into the later part of the afternoon and evening, one or two

:26:51.:26:54.

showers but a largely dry end to the day. So Sunday and Monday, two very

:26:54.:27:00.

similar days as it stands. The high pressure Steve Douglas. We will have

:27:00.:27:03.

some mist and fog first thing but then it will be fine and dry. —— the

:27:03.:27:10.

high pressure stays with us. On Tuesday, a lot of uncertainty. It

:27:10.:27:15.

all depends on the movements of a weather front. At the moment, it

:27:15.:27:19.

looks like it will be pretty weak and fragmented so introducing more

:27:19.:27:21.

in the way of cloud and perhaps a little bit of light and patchy rain.

:27:21.:27:26.

Even on Tuesday, at the moment, it looks like it will be a lot of fine

:27:26.:27:30.

and dry weather. We have above average temperatures and light

:27:30.:27:32.

winds. Julie, thank you very much.

:27:32.:27:38.

That's it for this week. We will see you on Monday. Have a great weekend.

:27:38.:27:39.

Goodbye.

:27:39.:27:44.
