:00:08. > :00:12.Hello, and welcome to Look East with Susie and me. In tonight's
:00:12. > :00:15.programme, the news from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.
:00:15. > :00:23.After yesterday's chaos on the trains, the backlash from
:00:23. > :00:27.Parliament. We really need deeper investment, particularly in the
:00:27. > :00:31.Chelmsford area, to make sure those issues that come up time and time
:00:31. > :00:34.again are sorted out. Experts recommend action now to
:00:34. > :00:40.enrich the lives of our ageing population. My back doesn't work
:00:40. > :00:45.properly. The ground is getting further away every day.
:00:45. > :00:53.The family of 12 who outgrew their council house in Ipswich are told to
:00:53. > :00:58.knock through into next door. And if you go down to the woods in
:00:58. > :01:08.Norfolk today you will bump into air crews from America.
:01:08. > :01:11.Hello. The region's MPs have today stepped up their demands for more
:01:11. > :01:14.money to be spent on the railways. It follows widespread disruption
:01:14. > :01:17.yesterday on the Greater Anglia service into London Liverpool
:01:17. > :01:21.Street. MPs in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk are planning to meet
:01:21. > :01:25.managers at Network Rail to find out what's going wrong. They say the
:01:26. > :01:29.service into London is too unreliable and could put a brake on
:01:29. > :01:32.the economic recovery in this region. Our political correspondent,
:01:32. > :01:40.Andrew Sinclair, is at Westminster now.
:01:40. > :01:44.We ought to be fair to network rail and point out that the majority of
:01:45. > :01:47.the time, trained in and out of London run without too much
:01:47. > :01:52.difficulty. But when things go wrong, it can be a real nightmare
:01:52. > :01:57.and today, there has been a chorus of criticism from MPs following
:01:57. > :02:02.yesterdaydisruption. It was one of those mornings which commuters will
:02:02. > :02:04.not forget in a hurry. A signalling problem I Chelmsford brought the
:02:04. > :02:09.mainline into London to a standstill. That lasted all morning.
:02:09. > :02:14.Services were cancelled and passengers faced long waits. Many
:02:14. > :02:18.gave up and took the day off. We have real challenges dealing with
:02:18. > :02:22.infrastructure. We really need deeper investment, particularly in
:02:22. > :02:26.the Chelmsford area, to make sure those issues that come up time and
:02:26. > :02:31.time again are sorted out. It is a long—term investment challenge, but
:02:31. > :02:35.we need to get to grips with it now. MPs have been fighting a long
:02:35. > :02:39.campaign for more investment in the region's rail services, especially
:02:39. > :02:43.the mainline to London. Norfolk's MP said today that the county's
:02:43. > :02:46.businesses and economy were being held back by the lack of
:02:46. > :02:53.investment. Her colleague, Richard Bacon, said that if the a fraction
:02:53. > :02:57.of what is being allocated to the high—speed rail project was given to
:02:57. > :02:59.them, it would make a massive difference. MPs except that money is
:02:59. > :03:06.already being spent on improving the route, but they say a lot what is
:03:06. > :03:10.needed. What needs to happen is a total upgrade of the track, which
:03:10. > :03:18.has happened. They need to replace the active weighted —— antiquated
:03:18. > :03:27.electric Asian system so that we can minimise those sort of problems. ——
:03:28. > :03:30.electrical system. Today, the transport secretary was inspecting
:03:30. > :03:34.upgrade work. But he has won that with so many demands, we will have
:03:34. > :03:39.to be patient. The budget for railway improvements has been
:03:39. > :03:46.allocated until 2019. But MPs say after scenes like these yesterday,
:03:46. > :03:50.we can't wait that long. Yes, the budget has been allocated until 2019
:03:50. > :03:53.but MPs point out that every now and again the Government find some extra
:03:53. > :03:57.money and they hope they will get it if they make enough noise. Just
:03:57. > :04:01.before I go, one more transport story from down here. The Suffolk MP
:04:01. > :04:05.has met with the roads minister today to complain about the planned
:04:05. > :04:09.toll road for the A14 in Cambridge. He told the minister that it has
:04:09. > :04:13.caused uproar and will lead to an unequal playing field and that is
:04:13. > :04:17.not acceptable. I told the minister noted his comments. Thank you,
:04:18. > :04:21.Andrew. Experts gathered in Suffolk today to
:04:21. > :04:24.discuss how to make the county a better place to live for elderly
:04:24. > :04:27.people. It's reckoned a quarter of the county's population will be over
:04:27. > :04:33.65 by 2020. Our Suffolk reporter, Kevin Burch, was there.
:04:33. > :04:36.There are, of course, few certainties in life but one of them
:04:36. > :04:43.is that none of us is getting any younger. As the adored use about ——
:04:43. > :04:47.as Theodore Roosevelt once said, if you want to make a success of old
:04:47. > :04:52.age, you must start young. And that is what this conference is about. It
:04:52. > :04:56.is a roomful of stakeholders, counsellors, volunteers, health care
:04:56. > :05:04.providers. They are all critical in planning for the future. And giving
:05:04. > :05:06.the keynote speech was local broadcaster Stewart child, who
:05:06. > :05:13.summed up beautifully how many of us feel. I am old on the outside, but I
:05:13. > :05:17.do not feel old on the inside. I still fill like the young man that I
:05:17. > :05:27.am, as do a lot of people of my age, 67. We just want to enjoy life will
:05:27. > :05:30.stop. And over coffee, we met this couple, who celebrated their golden
:05:30. > :05:38.wedding. How indeed you getting older? —— how do they feel about
:05:38. > :05:43.getting older? Getting older does not scare me, but the thought of
:05:43. > :05:47.being incapacitated does. Being able to walk and get out is the most
:05:47. > :05:53.important thing. I can drive, but I do not know for how long. My back
:05:53. > :05:58.does work properly. The ground is getting further away every day. It's
:05:59. > :06:05.very important that I do keep fit and healthy, and our grandson is
:06:05. > :06:13.only a year old. I don't want him to just think of me as an old woman.
:06:13. > :06:20.Both couples have just downsized their gardens because it has become
:06:20. > :06:25.too big to handle. I have 2000 bunches of grapes here, and I do not
:06:25. > :06:28.have the time, the energy, or the strength to pick them. I am an old
:06:28. > :06:34.man who can't cope with the wonderful things that are growing
:06:34. > :06:37.here. Time is not on anyone's side, not least the decision—makers who
:06:37. > :06:43.need to come up with answers and fast. As Betty Davis once said, old
:06:43. > :06:46.age is no place for the week. Elsewhere one GP from Norwich has
:06:46. > :06:49.been describing the extra demand for health care from older people as
:06:49. > :06:53."staggering". The comment came during the annual meeting of Age UK,
:06:53. > :07:02.which said caring for the elderly would dominate the health service of
:07:02. > :07:05.the future. Alex Dunlop reports. This exhibition in Norwich
:07:05. > :07:09.highlights the contributions that older people make to society and
:07:09. > :07:13.perhaps how little we tend to appreciate that. Norfolk has one of
:07:13. > :07:18.the highest proportion of pensioners in the country and in Norwich alone,
:07:18. > :07:23.one in six people is over 65 and in the next 25 years, that will
:07:23. > :07:30.increase by 40%. One in seven people is over 85, and that is set to
:07:30. > :07:36.increase by 106%. A GP in Norwich for 27 years, Doctor David is now
:07:36. > :07:39.treating for older people. It is a huge strain on the health service.
:07:39. > :07:42.Local doctors are looking to work more closely with voluntary groups
:07:42. > :07:47.to help older people stay healthy and at home for longer.
:07:47. > :07:53.Traditionally, we have perhaps been more reactive. I think we appreciate
:07:53. > :07:57.that we have to be much more proactive. So, it is a question of
:07:57. > :08:02.really having services that support people at a much earlier stage. It
:08:02. > :08:08.means local charities will have a greater say in her money is spent.
:08:08. > :08:13.The idea is to invest in older people 's health early to invite
:08:13. > :08:18.pressure on the NHS later. It is not just about the money, but about how
:08:18. > :08:22.we live. We are very good at keeping people alive, but not very good at
:08:22. > :08:29.giving them something to live for making life worthwhile. That balance
:08:29. > :08:32.has got a shift. That balance is already changing. The NHS in Suffolk
:08:32. > :08:37.has funded a pilot which enables older people to video chat with
:08:37. > :08:40.relatives who may live far away. And carers are being taught at the
:08:40. > :08:44.University of East Anglia had to look after people so they can live
:08:44. > :08:48.at home for longer. If you thought that growing old was about putting
:08:48. > :08:54.your feet up, then no one has told Connie Wood. At 85, she is a world
:08:54. > :08:59.of veteran fencing champion. She even calls herself and "recycled
:08:59. > :09:04.teenager." And I'm delighted to say that Connie
:09:04. > :09:12.Adam is here now. What do you think of that picture? Not very good. I
:09:12. > :09:16.look a bit decrepit. I want to show everyone these. These are two bronze
:09:16. > :09:23.medals from the European Championships, and another from the
:09:23. > :09:28.World Championships. How do you? I am 85, and the world champion from
:09:28. > :09:32.France, who beat me, was 72. We heard somebody say there that they
:09:32. > :09:37.feel young inside and older on the outside. Is that how you feel?
:09:37. > :09:45.Definitely. My head still feels like a teenager. What is your secret? You
:09:45. > :09:49.have to work at it. I do as much as I can. I do my own gardening and my
:09:49. > :09:54.own housework and join different clubs, do different things, keep
:09:54. > :10:00.active. You children have to make an appointment to see you, don't they?
:10:00. > :10:05.Definitely. I am not sitting around waiting for someone who might
:10:05. > :10:10.comment. I can think of many people who are not as fit as you and will
:10:10. > :10:13.be lonely. That is dreadful. But if you are lonely, there is not much
:10:13. > :10:16.you can do about it unless you can get out and if you can get out,
:10:16. > :10:23.there are lots of things you can do about it. But if you are lonely, you
:10:23. > :10:26.have got to try. You have definitely got to try. Nobody is going to come
:10:26. > :10:30.and visit you every day as much as you might like them to. We have
:10:30. > :10:35.heard a lot there are about what people can do for the elderly. What
:10:35. > :10:45.are people —— do you like being called elderly? No. I am a recycled
:10:45. > :10:48.teenager. What would help you? Somebody to support me with the
:10:48. > :10:52.financial side of fencing. Other than that, my health is good. I do
:10:52. > :11:02.not go to the dentist of them. So, just a bit of support with the
:11:02. > :11:07.financial side of fencing. And I could do with the caddie to carry
:11:07. > :11:10.the kit. I think you might get some volunteers after all of this! And
:11:10. > :11:17.you have no plans to give up the fencing? Definitely not. While I can
:11:17. > :11:20.get about and carried a kit, I just have to get it to the bus station,
:11:20. > :11:24.and my brother usually helps me with that. And once I'm on the bus, there
:11:24. > :11:30.is always somebody who will lift it off and put it on the carousel.
:11:30. > :11:34.Congratulations on everything. It is lovely to have you in the studio.
:11:34. > :11:38.Thank you very much. It is lovely to be here.
:11:38. > :11:41.The defence in the trial of former BBC radio presenter Michael Souter
:11:41. > :11:46.has been calling some of its last witnesses. 60—year—old Mr Souter
:11:46. > :11:50.denies sex offences against seven boys between the ages of 11 and 16,
:11:50. > :11:56.and nine counts of possessing indecent images.
:11:56. > :11:59.Mr Souter list and in the dock as insurance broker Alan Cross
:11:59. > :12:02.described him as a friend of 30 years. He had been a member of the
:12:03. > :12:08.sketch troupe run by Mr Souter, who put his heart and soul into the job.
:12:08. > :12:15.He was someone he respected. The defence barrister asked him if Mr
:12:15. > :12:23.Souter had behaved towards him in a sexual way at any point. "
:12:23. > :12:27.Absolutely not, "" Mr Cross replied. He said he had no doubts about the
:12:27. > :12:30.good character of Mr Souter. The prosecutor then asked him to look at
:12:30. > :12:35.some of the pictures found on his computer. He pointed him towards one
:12:35. > :12:38.particularly graphic image. "Would you have been concerned if you had
:12:38. > :12:47.known he had an image like that on his computer with Mike" "yes," he
:12:47. > :12:53.replied. " I have concerns based on what I have seen today." They also
:12:53. > :12:57.called another witness who had been linked with him in the early 1980s.
:12:57. > :13:01.He came from a troubled background and said that his times between Mr
:13:01. > :13:06.—— times with Mr Souter had some of the best moments of his childhood.
:13:06. > :13:12.The court is not sitting for the next two days. The closing speeches
:13:12. > :13:17.will be made on Monday. A teenage girl and a man in his 50s
:13:17. > :13:21.have died in a crash on the A12 in Suffolk. The road was closed for
:13:21. > :13:25.several hours after the collision between two cars. It happened at
:13:25. > :13:31.about 8.15 last night at Frostenden, near Lowestoft. The girl, who was a
:13:31. > :13:39.passenger in one car, and the driver of the other car, were pronounced
:13:39. > :13:43.dead at the scene. Two council houses in Ipswich are
:13:43. > :13:47.being knocked into one to provide a six—bedroom home for a family of 12.
:13:47. > :13:50.The family currently live in a three bedroom home, but builders are
:13:50. > :13:53.moving in this week to extend the accommodation by knocking through to
:13:53. > :13:58.the house next door. The plan has prompted a petition, and the
:13:58. > :14:01.disapproval of the town's MP. Timothy Fiske, father of 12, telling
:14:01. > :14:07.reporters about the cramped conditions his family live in. I am
:14:07. > :14:11.living in my living. There is nowhere for my kids to eat their
:14:11. > :14:16.food. I have had to buy an industrial carpet cleaner because
:14:16. > :14:21.they make a lot of mess. This family picture was taken on holiday in the
:14:21. > :14:24.summer. Ten of Mr Fisk and his 12 partners children live with the
:14:24. > :14:29.couple in a council house in is which. To get them room, Ipswich
:14:29. > :14:34.Borough Council is spending £6,000 knocking through to the empty
:14:34. > :14:39.council house next door, turning to three—bedroom homes into one house
:14:39. > :14:43.with six bedrooms. Everyone has got their own decision with how many
:14:43. > :14:47.children they want. If I wanted 50 children, that is my decision. I
:14:47. > :14:55.have worked hard in the past. I am unable to work at the moment. Some
:14:55. > :15:00.neighbours say it is a good idea. I can see no reason why they shouldn't
:15:00. > :15:04.be allowed to remain a family. But not everyone here is happy about
:15:04. > :15:08.what is happening. One neighbour has started a petition against it. It
:15:08. > :15:11.has attracted about 90 signatures, and they said they had nothing
:15:11. > :15:14.personal against the family, that they believe that they believe the
:15:14. > :15:20.vacant house should be made available to another family that may
:15:20. > :15:24.have housing problems. The MP for Ipswich says that taxpayers may be
:15:24. > :15:29.concerned, although the council says it is the most cost—effective way to
:15:29. > :15:32.meet the family's needs. Mr Fisk believes a petition is unjustified.
:15:32. > :15:44.He says his family have never caused any problems.
:15:44. > :15:50.Still to come, the weatherman says it is going to be getting colder.
:15:50. > :15:56.And it is a shocking lesson for the students who get a crash course in
:15:56. > :15:59.driving. You may have heard that the leader
:15:59. > :16:02.of the right—wing English Defence League is standing down. Tommy
:16:02. > :16:07.Robinson, who comes from Luton, says the party has become too extreme in
:16:07. > :16:11.its views about immigration. Mr Robinson told Look East today that
:16:11. > :16:15.he will now establish a new group to defend English culture against high
:16:15. > :16:19.levels of immigration. But Muslim figures in Luton said they distrust
:16:19. > :16:29.his motives. Tonight's special report is from our home affairs
:16:29. > :16:35.correspondent, Sally Chidzoy. I don't care what you say to me! The
:16:35. > :16:40.face of the English Defence League, Tommy Robinson. A man whose rhetoric
:16:40. > :16:43.attacking Muslim extremism attracted thousands of followers, first in
:16:43. > :16:47.Luton and then across the country. The movement began in Luton four
:16:47. > :16:51.years ago in response to Muslim protesters who shouted slogans as
:16:51. > :16:57.the Royal Anglian Regiment much do the time. After dramatically
:16:57. > :17:02.quitting as the leader, Tommy Robinson said he was sick of the far
:17:02. > :17:06.right extremism within its ranks. When I am saying something, it is
:17:06. > :17:15.me. It is not someone with the three letters of my organisation doing
:17:15. > :17:18.something. Toby Robinson's defection has raised eyebrows. The group
:17:18. > :17:24.focuses on counter extremism and argues that Islamist causes Muslim
:17:24. > :17:30.terrorism. There is something fishy about the whole thing. He still has
:17:30. > :17:32.extremist, intolerant views. I was listening this morning on the radio
:17:33. > :17:40.and he said he still wants the burger van. He still does not want
:17:40. > :17:42.mosques. —— veil ban. He still has a scaremongering attitude to sharia
:17:42. > :17:48.law. He has not changed in the slightest. For years, Tommy Robinson
:17:48. > :17:54.has hit back at critics who accuse him of being a racist. For many, his
:17:54. > :17:57.departure has been welcomed. If he has seen the light and walked away
:17:57. > :18:02.from it, it is a good example to others. He was having problems
:18:02. > :18:09.before with a lot of people but now, people might find him not resist any
:18:09. > :18:14.more. I don't really support him. I think we should all live together
:18:14. > :18:19.and be happy together. Are you anything without the EGL? I think
:18:19. > :18:25.people are supporting what I'm saying and doing. Do you plan to set
:18:25. > :18:30.up another group? Not a street protest group. A group that focuses
:18:30. > :18:35.its frustrations and brings about dialogue through the political
:18:35. > :18:38.process. Tommy Robinson believes that without his support the English
:18:38. > :18:42.Defence League will die out by Christmas. Local Muslim leaders fear
:18:42. > :18:49.what has happened could spawn extremists when two groups. ——
:18:49. > :18:53.splinter groups. Air crews from the United States Air
:18:53. > :18:57.Force have been spending the week in Norfolk learning how to survive in
:18:57. > :19:00.the wild in the event they are ever shot down over enemy territory. They
:19:00. > :19:03.have been training at the Stanford Battle Zone, which is usually used
:19:03. > :19:06.by UK soldiers and airmen. The Americans are based at the nearby US
:19:06. > :19:18.headquarters at RAF Mildenhall. Simon Newton went with them.
:19:18. > :19:22.The military collet Survive, Headache, Resist, And Escape. The
:19:23. > :19:30.American military has been putting its all just do it since the Korean
:19:30. > :19:37.War. —— putting its soldiers do it. You would be is use whichever one is
:19:37. > :19:42.closest to you... These are men flight refuelling characters from
:19:42. > :19:51.Mildenhall. Today, they have been shot down in hostile territory. The
:19:51. > :19:59.soldier from California has been an air force pilot for six years. I
:19:59. > :20:02.have had the opportunity to speak to pilots who faced being shot down and
:20:02. > :20:09.captured by enemy forces. The lessons they learned really help
:20:09. > :20:17.build courses like this. As well as evading capture, pilots learn how to
:20:18. > :20:22.hunt, height, and call for help. How many in your party? What is their
:20:22. > :20:31.condition? On the edge of the forest, another soldier plays
:20:31. > :20:34.friendly forces. Before you get into a survival situation, you want to
:20:34. > :20:41.make sure that you have your ducks in a row, pretty much. We really
:20:41. > :20:47.remind guys to understand that. We do not rise to the occasion, we fall
:20:47. > :20:52.to the level of training. That way, they take this as seriously as
:20:52. > :20:56.possible. This soldier from the Brascan has served for 12 years,
:20:56. > :21:01.including in Iraq and Afghanistan. His job is operating a refuelling
:21:01. > :21:07.craft. He says his family know the dangers he faces. I ask them that,
:21:07. > :21:15.but they don't like to talk about it. I know it plays on my mind. They
:21:15. > :21:21.usually have faith that I'm coming home. The resistance element
:21:21. > :21:29.involves coping with interrogation, but they will not discuss that. It
:21:29. > :21:33.is strictly classified. For these aircrews, these exercises are fun
:21:33. > :21:45.but also very serious. The lessons learned here could one day be the
:21:45. > :21:48.key to making it out alive. Suzie has just been telling me how to
:21:48. > :21:51.survive in these situations. I have just said I would not survive very
:21:51. > :21:54.long on my own. Students from Peterborough were
:21:54. > :21:57.given a crash course today in driving. And that's exactly what
:21:57. > :22:01.they got — a driving course with a crash ending. The idea is to cut the
:22:01. > :22:05.number of injuries to young drivers and their passengers. Last year,
:22:05. > :22:09.almost a quarter of people injured on the city's roads were aged
:22:09. > :22:12.between 17 and 25. Please be aware that this report from Mike Liggins
:22:12. > :22:20.involves simulated pictures of a serious car crash.
:22:20. > :22:24.This is the car crash simulator at Peterborough regional College, a
:22:25. > :22:30.specially adapted Ford focus was blacked out windows and video
:22:30. > :22:36.screens. Great fun, but the students are about to get nastier shock. The
:22:36. > :22:46.video playing is a reconstruction in which a 17—year—old girl is taxing
:22:46. > :22:49.while at the wheel. Hydraulics make the car moved to help recreate the
:22:49. > :22:53.atmosphere of a crash will stop now watch the moment of impact again,
:22:53. > :23:05.but this time see how the students react. The video goes on to show the
:23:05. > :23:10.aftermath of the crash. The simulator has flashing lights and
:23:10. > :23:15.smoke. Then, the consequences. The relatives of the dead are told, and
:23:15. > :23:22.the funerals. The simulator is supposed to provoke a reaction, and
:23:22. > :23:27.it does. It was really good. It was proper scary. I thought it was
:23:27. > :23:32.really emotional and really upsetting, because you realise, you
:23:32. > :23:37.could do something so little light go on your phone and then all of
:23:37. > :23:45.that could happen. Has it made you think twice? Yes, definitely. It has
:23:45. > :23:48.been created by the Seaford Peterborough Partnership, which
:23:48. > :23:54.involves a wide of local authorities. Often with young
:23:54. > :23:59.drivers with cars full of 17 or 25—year—old, they are taxing, not
:23:59. > :24:04.wearing seat belts, driving too fast. So when we do go to traffic
:24:04. > :24:10.collisions involving young people, it is quite disturbing for us. This
:24:10. > :24:14.age group is really, really hard to engage with. We run programmes
:24:14. > :24:20.throughout the schools, but to have this today and have people come and
:24:20. > :24:22.talk to us, it is a first. The car crash simulator will note
:24:22. > :24:29.Cambridgeshire and other counties in the region. Entered a's world of
:24:29. > :24:36.graphic video games, it is hard to shock teenagers. But the simulator
:24:36. > :24:42.does shock. What a good idea! It is, and the
:24:42. > :24:45.looks on their faces, to be enjoying the ride in the car and then
:24:45. > :24:51.suddenly, totally shocked. Let's get the weather.
:24:51. > :24:56.It is turning much colder and when they the next few days. Keeping a
:24:56. > :25:02.close eye on some cold front coming in. The blue indicates that here.
:25:02. > :25:06.These two cold fronts have a few showers with them as well. Across
:25:06. > :25:10.the country through the day, we have had a little bit of rain in places.
:25:10. > :25:12.They are continuing to exit down towards the south. They will
:25:13. > :25:16.continue to do that in the next couple of hours and in most places
:25:16. > :25:20.will become dry with clear skies tonight. Towards midnight and do
:25:20. > :25:24.tomorrow morning, there will be heavy showers in Norfolk, especially
:25:24. > :25:27.near the coast. They could even be the odd rumble of thunder as well.
:25:27. > :25:30.But further west, it will be heavy showers in Norfolk, especially near
:25:30. > :25:35.the coast. They could even be the odd rumble of thunder as well. But
:25:35. > :25:42.further west, it'll stay mainly dry the wind will keep most areas frost
:25:42. > :25:49.free. The winds, by the end of the neck, costing close to 50 miles an
:25:49. > :25:53.hour. We have got high—pressure anchored to the West of Scotland and
:25:53. > :26:01.these tightly packed I suppose indicate a very strong northerly
:26:01. > :26:06.wind coming down. We could see just inland of 35 or 40 mph, and along
:26:06. > :26:12.the northern coast, 16 mph possible. Couple that with high tide and large
:26:12. > :26:16.waves, and could be some flooding. Tomorrow is all about showers.
:26:16. > :26:20.Again, some of these are heavy with some field. Further west, a bright
:26:20. > :26:24.start. But even here, there will be a few showers developing into the
:26:24. > :26:29.afternoon. The general rule is that the further west you go, the lighter
:26:29. > :26:34.the showers will be and the few and far between it will be as well.
:26:34. > :26:37.Temperatures could make it up to 12 degrees, several degrees lower than
:26:37. > :26:40.it has been in recent days. It will feel even colder than that thanks to
:26:40. > :26:44.that very strong wind, making it feel more like six or seven degrees
:26:44. > :26:47.if you are exposed to the wind. The showers continue through the
:26:47. > :26:51.afternoon and into the evening. They could be a long spell of rain across
:26:51. > :26:54.eastern areas and we had to the second—half of the evening. That
:26:54. > :26:58.rain will gradually expand further westwards as we go through Thursday
:26:58. > :27:03.night, so potentially quick bit of rain in some places. It is all
:27:03. > :27:06.courtesy of this weather front that actually will not move very far over
:27:06. > :27:11.the next few days. Expect further outbreaks of rain across parts of
:27:11. > :27:14.the region, even into the weekend. Some uncertainty about exactly how
:27:14. > :27:19.much rain there is, but I would not be surprised if some places did not
:27:19. > :27:24.get 25 millimetres or more by Sunday. But indicators are it will
:27:24. > :27:28.clear away by the weekend. Your outlook is some heavy showers to the
:27:28. > :27:33.course of tomorrow, more green into the weekend, dry by Sunday. Notice
:27:33. > :27:34.the winds easing down? Chilly night continuing into the weekend. There
:27:34. > :27:40.is a weather. is a
:27:40. > :27:43.Thank you very much. What a cheery little forecast. See you tomorrow
:27:43. > :27:46.night. Have a peaceful evening.
