:00:07. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight:

:00:13. > :00:16.More than 30 people are moved out of their homes as strong winds and high

:00:16. > :00:24.tides cause problems along the coast. My husband is away so I am

:00:24. > :00:28.very worried. Staff are suspended as police

:00:28. > :00:34.investigate the care of a man at this mental health hospital shortly

:00:34. > :00:38.before he died. How dare they turn around and say to me that you can't

:00:38. > :00:41.stand for the National Anthem? The veteran who was told he couldn't

:00:41. > :00:44.stand for the anthem because of Health and Safety.

:00:44. > :00:45.And it's been a roller—coaster year for Olympic champion Greg Rutherford

:00:45. > :01:00.but he tells us why has no regrets. Hello, the weather has been causing

:01:00. > :01:06.disruption along our coastline with strong winds and high tides bringing

:01:06. > :01:10.about the threat of flooding. The first place to be hit was the

:01:10. > :01:13.village of Walcott in North Norfolk, where more than 30 people were moved

:01:13. > :01:17.from their homes. Throughout the day, the tidal surge travelled down

:01:17. > :01:27.our coastline. It peaked in Maldon just two hours ago. Gareth George is

:01:27. > :01:33.there now. —— Alex reports. This is a community used to chaotic

:01:33. > :01:38.scenes. As high tide and gale force winds rage down the North Sea

:01:38. > :01:41.towards Wolcott, emergency services persuade those on the seafront to

:01:41. > :01:48.leave their homes and seek refuge in a local pub. Rita is one of 35 who

:01:48. > :01:52.have signed in for coffee and comforting advice. It is already

:01:52. > :02:00.flooded, the road. Whitbread you do not feel safe? No. We have been

:02:00. > :02:04.flooded before. Everybody knows where we are and forewarned is

:02:04. > :02:11.forearmed. My husband is away so I am very worried. On the seafront,

:02:11. > :02:16.Coast Guard, fire crews and flood warnings raise themselves for high

:02:16. > :02:20.water. It is 10:45am and this is the point where emergency services were

:02:20. > :02:27.worried it could get tricky. You will see that the road has nothing

:02:27. > :02:30.yet to give them too much cause for concern. I have to take advice make

:02:30. > :02:37.sure this is the worst. There is another high tide tonight but I am

:02:37. > :02:43.sure the wind will die down. Inland, the wind has led havoc and fallen

:02:43. > :02:50.trees blocked minor roads. A similar picture on the A120 new Stansted

:02:50. > :02:54.Airport. Rear services were also affected. —— real services. We had

:02:54. > :02:58.to work fast to make this scaffolding safe after it broke away

:02:58. > :03:04.in strong winds. As we watched the surge, we were hoping it should have

:03:04. > :03:08.passed. Come early evening, we have got the final flood alert out how

:03:08. > :03:11.flew along the Essex coast and as the waters pass, we will hopefully

:03:11. > :03:14.be able to take those of. Traditionally, the weather at this

:03:14. > :03:19.time of year, south—westerly storms moving across, this is the season

:03:19. > :03:24.when we need to be most prepared. Back in the village and back in

:03:24. > :03:29.time, a huge sea surge six years ago caused extensive misery and damage.

:03:29. > :03:35.Not so today. Good warning and planning as waged any anxiety people

:03:35. > :03:42.may have had. As the head home, they know that there may be more days

:03:42. > :03:46.like this to come this winter. It was high water in Essex late this

:03:46. > :03:52.afternoon. Gareth George has just sent us this report.

:03:52. > :03:57.They were waiting nervously for high water here at 4:30pm. A flood

:03:57. > :03:59.warning was in place. That means flooding was expected. The water

:03:59. > :04:04.level got pretty high and still remains so but the defences were not

:04:04. > :04:10.reached. One theory is that the wind direction helped keep the tidal

:04:10. > :04:18.surge back down the river is cherry. It stayed Northwest. —— back down

:04:18. > :04:21.the river estuary. And easterly cheese is the tidal surge up the

:04:21. > :04:27.river and encourages it to rise, obviously. But with that being a

:04:27. > :04:31.waste, Northwest, it has kept it down and wide. This is the lowest

:04:31. > :04:34.point of the sea defences. If they were going to be breached, it have

:04:34. > :04:38.been here. Sandbags were put in place but not needed. The village

:04:38. > :04:41.was lucky and there is some relief tonight.

:04:41. > :04:45.The police in Norfolk are investigating the death of a man who

:04:45. > :04:48.was cared for at Hellesdon Hospital. It's the second mysterious death at

:04:48. > :04:52.a hospital in Norfolk in the last month. There is no connection but in

:04:52. > :05:00.both cases staff have been suspended. The details now from

:05:00. > :05:04.Jenny Kirk. Jenny? Thanks. The details have only just come to light

:05:04. > :05:09.of this latest case. A man in his 40s was being treated at the

:05:09. > :05:12.hospital, which deals with people with mental illnesses, last Tuesday.

:05:12. > :05:20.He had what has been described as a medical emergency. Four members of

:05:20. > :05:22.staff have been suspended about the standard of care he received there

:05:22. > :05:24.before being taken to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital where he died

:05:24. > :05:29.on Friday. And what about this other case I

:05:29. > :05:35.mentioned? In that case, it is a different hospital in Norfolk, one

:05:35. > :05:40.in Gorleston. Jenny, 76, died last month. Later, a worker came forward

:05:40. > :05:42.claiming that his death may have been the result of medical

:05:42. > :05:48.malpractice. There was an internal inquiry. Hospital reported a member

:05:48. > :05:51.of staff to police. He was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of murder

:05:51. > :05:56.and bailed until next month. Norfolk police say they are investigating a

:05:56. > :05:59.police that that man was given a drugs overdose. The major

:05:59. > :06:03.investigation unit are involved with both cases but say that they are not

:06:03. > :06:07.linked. Jenny, thank you very much. A former soldier has made a

:06:07. > :06:10.complaint after being told he's not allowed to stand for the national

:06:10. > :06:13.anthem during a military concert in Suffolk. Doug Speller has tickets

:06:14. > :06:17.for the event, at the Apex in Bury St Edmunds, next month. But he's

:06:17. > :06:26.been told everyone has to remain seated because of Health and Safety

:06:26. > :06:30.regulations. Dog has had a long —— this man has

:06:30. > :06:34.had a long military career, he served two decades in the

:06:34. > :06:39.Territorial Army as a radio operator. He was shocked when he and

:06:39. > :06:47.his wife were told they could not stand for the National Anthem. We

:06:47. > :06:50.were both so annoyed about it. How do deer they —— odour of these turn

:06:50. > :06:54.around and say to me, " you can't stand for the National Anthem. " It

:06:54. > :06:57.is an insult to the Queen. I have always been taught the correct way

:06:57. > :07:01.that you stand up for the National Anthem. This is not the first time

:07:01. > :07:06.that the recent Edmonds has made the headlines for Health and Safety. In

:07:06. > :07:10.2004, hanging baskets where banned because of a risk they could fall

:07:10. > :07:15.and injure someone. Months later, the Terran Christmas lights where

:07:15. > :07:18.switched on 80 days early to be tested for Health and Safety

:07:18. > :07:24.reasons. Although we were allowed to film today, to see the seeds for

:07:24. > :07:30.ourselves, nobody was prepared to talk on camera. There was a U—turn

:07:30. > :07:34.this afternoon. —— to see the seats. I am ever so sorry. Of course we

:07:34. > :07:37.would not stop anybody standing for the National Anthem or showing

:07:37. > :07:40.appreciation at the end of a particularly good performance. The

:07:40. > :07:44.Health and Safety rules are there for a clear purpose, people's

:07:44. > :07:47.safety. The guidelines are very clear around the building and that

:07:47. > :07:52.is to stop people from dancing raucously during an event. I am

:07:52. > :07:56.quite happy, much happier now! To say that I can do it, you know. I

:07:56. > :08:02.thank them for coming to their senses about it. It is nice to know

:08:02. > :08:08.that they have admitted that they were wrong. For him, buying tickets

:08:08. > :08:13.for the concert has not really been a peaceful path. But he says he will

:08:13. > :08:18.stand to attention with respect and pride when the National Anthem is

:08:18. > :08:21.played next month. Just a few years ago, Norwich City

:08:21. > :08:24.Football Club was in a financial mess and dropping down the

:08:24. > :08:27.divisions. Today, it's a very different story. The Premier League

:08:27. > :08:34.has brought big money and this week when they published the accounts,

:08:34. > :08:39.there is money in the bank. It has been a remarkable turnaround, from a

:08:39. > :08:44.club deep in debt to the financial top flight. All in just four years.

:08:44. > :08:50.We are on sound financial footing. We have a very good team, in my view

:08:50. > :08:53.will be the best for 20 years. We have achieved all our objectives for

:08:53. > :08:57.the last fiscal year, above all finishing well on the Premier

:08:57. > :09:02.League. And I think the future is looking very good. Delegation back

:09:02. > :09:06.in 2001 left the Canaries on their knees, with debts of £23 million.

:09:06. > :09:12.They had losses of £9 million per year. In 2013, it is very different.

:09:12. > :09:19.Last year, the revenue was £278 million. Boosted by £50 million of

:09:19. > :09:24.TV money. Norwich ended the year £500,000 profit and for the first

:09:24. > :09:28.time in many years, debt free. That profit would have been higher but

:09:28. > :09:33.this year, the club spent nearly £20 million on a new squad. Norwich is

:09:33. > :09:36.now among football's financial elite but staying there depends on one

:09:36. > :09:40.thing. As long as we're alive, we have to stay on the Premier League.

:09:40. > :09:44.That is what I need to get across to all of my colleagues in the club,

:09:44. > :09:48.the board know it. But everybody that works here has to be really

:09:48. > :09:53.focused on that. Norwich all £2 million to a handful of directors,

:09:53. > :09:57.including Delia Smith. —— Norwich need to be two main towns. They say

:09:57. > :10:03.it will be people as here. For the Canaries, it is key to invest in

:10:03. > :10:11.football. Winning games and staying up will pay not just football but

:10:11. > :10:15.financial dividends also. Walkers will be able to cross the

:10:15. > :10:18.entire length of Norfolk by foot from King's Lynn in the West to

:10:18. > :10:22.Great Yarmouth in the East, now that a missing piece of footpath has been

:10:22. > :10:25.opened. The new 12—mile stretch passes through Wensum Valley where a

:10:25. > :10:27.bench has been installed, marking the mid—way point.

:10:27. > :10:31.Tributes have been paid to one of the best known boat builders on the

:10:31. > :10:34.Broads, who's died at the age of 79. Martin Broom is credited with

:10:34. > :10:37.helping popularise boating holidays. He also helped establish the Broads

:10:37. > :10:46.Authority. He ran his family business, Broom Boats in Brundall,

:10:46. > :10:49.for more than 40 years. The annual Heritage at Risk register

:10:49. > :10:52.has just been published, highlighting those buildings which

:10:52. > :10:55.are most in danger of neglect or collapse. The good news is that

:10:55. > :10:59.Finchingfield Guildhall in Essex has come off the list, after a lot of

:10:59. > :11:02.renovation. The bad news — the Langham Dome, which was used to

:11:02. > :11:05.train gunners during World War Two, is now in the ten most at risk in

:11:05. > :11:09.this region. Until recently, this is what Langham

:11:09. > :11:12.Dome used to look like. It was used during the war to train gunners,

:11:12. > :11:15.with film of the enemy projected onto the walls for simulated target

:11:15. > :11:18.practice. There are only six training domes left in the country.

:11:18. > :11:22.This one is still on English Heritage's At Risk register but

:11:22. > :11:26.funding has now been found for the delicate task of repairing it. The

:11:26. > :11:28.dome has been suffering from severe decay at the concrete and

:11:28. > :11:31.particularly the metal that is inside it and has required an

:11:31. > :11:35.absolutely innovative technique to run a current through it to drive

:11:35. > :11:41.the moisture out and then to be re—faced. So it is actually quite a

:11:41. > :11:46.technically difficult job and has taken years to build up the right

:11:46. > :11:51.expertise. More importantly, to get the money in place. English Heritage

:11:51. > :11:58.has given £200,000 towards the work. The Heritage Lottery Fund is

:11:58. > :12:02.stumping up £426,000. Future generations can come in here and

:12:02. > :12:09.will be able to learn what went on in 1945 in Langham. Langham went

:12:09. > :12:16.from a village of 200 people to 2000 people living here during the war.

:12:16. > :12:19.So it was quite an upheaval for the village. And I think it's important

:12:19. > :12:23.to remember this. Meanwhile in Essex, this Guildhall, built in

:12:23. > :12:30.1460, has now been taken off at Risk register following restoration. Very

:12:30. > :12:34.important that English Heritage put the building on at Risk register in

:12:34. > :12:37.2008 and also very important that they give money, at that stage about

:12:37. > :12:48.£15,000, to show that this was something that they were in favour

:12:48. > :12:51.of, that they believed in. And that was a signal to other funders that

:12:51. > :12:54.they should get behind this project and that is exactly what happened.

:12:54. > :12:57.The Guildhall includes a library and a museum. Once renovations are

:12:57. > :12:59.completed, the Langham Dome will open to the public as an education

:12:59. > :13:19.centre. Also coming up:

:13:19. > :13:21.Sir Henry Cecil's widow bids to win the big race at Newmarket this

:13:22. > :13:27.weekend. Olympic champion Greg Rutherford on

:13:27. > :13:36.injury, inspiration and his ambition to make long jumping history.

:13:36. > :13:39.This region is the driest in the whole country, which is why farmers

:13:39. > :13:42.have been meeting today to talk about water. With pressure coming

:13:42. > :13:44.from industry and climate change, there's a real worry that

:13:44. > :13:48.agriculture could get squeezed out. Our region is home to 60% of the

:13:48. > :13:51.country's irrigated farmland. More than 1,000 businesses make their

:13:51. > :13:54.living from the land. 30% of the potatoes and 25% of the fruit and

:13:54. > :13:59.vegetables supplied to the supermarkets are grown here in the

:13:59. > :14:05.East. And water is critical to that whole industry.

:14:05. > :14:11.It's a lovely green colour, it's a perfect height. And so hopefully it

:14:11. > :14:16.will find favour with customers. A Mediterranean—style crop in the

:14:16. > :14:20.Norfolk countryside. But to grow, it relies on these to irrigate it. The

:14:20. > :14:26.water here is pumped from deep underground. But for other farmers,

:14:26. > :14:30.they have chosen to dig their own reservoirs to store what falls from

:14:30. > :14:34.the sky. We've used it quite a bit this year. We've sold quite a bit of

:14:34. > :14:37.water to neighbouring farmers and use around six or seven million

:14:37. > :14:41.gallons. It's a huge benefit. It gives us peace of mind knowing that

:14:41. > :14:45.we can grow whatever we want on the farm and we've got water if we need

:14:45. > :14:50.it. At 180 million gallons, this is small. But getting permission to

:14:50. > :14:53.build any reservoir can take years. What we'd really like to see is a

:14:53. > :14:57.situation where almost every farm has a reservoir, an on—farm

:14:57. > :15:02.reservoir, to capture water. A high proportion of irrigated crops come

:15:02. > :15:04.from this region. We feed into the supermarkets here significant

:15:04. > :15:08.amounts and therefore, it's important for all of us that we have

:15:08. > :15:13.the water to be able to continue to do this and that we are not forced

:15:13. > :15:17.to import food. Globally, weather can seem more extreme. While it's

:15:17. > :15:22.difficult to predict it, local patterns are emerging. The summers

:15:22. > :15:25.in general will become drier and harder to manage but you will get

:15:25. > :15:29.your rainfall in short, sharp bursts. The winters will have to

:15:29. > :15:34.offset that lack of rainfall in the summer by becoming a bit wetter. I

:15:34. > :15:38.think it is all going to hinge on how we manage the water when it

:15:38. > :15:41.falls. Here, 75 tonnes of onions are on their way to the supermarket,

:15:41. > :15:47.having enough water insured the best crop. During that hot, dry spell in

:15:47. > :15:50.July when the onions were trying to grow really well, they needed

:15:50. > :15:59.adequate irrigation and water to help them do that. To achieve this

:15:59. > :16:03.size! Any shortage of water has potential to cause a shortage of the

:16:03. > :16:09.crop that you're trying to irrigate and shortages normally mean higher

:16:09. > :16:12.prices. With rainfall becoming more unpredictable, farmers will need to

:16:12. > :16:24.come up with new ways to guarantee crops like these.

:16:24. > :16:33.Lovely stack of onions. Enough to make a grown man cry!

:16:33. > :16:37.Sir Henry Cecil's widow has been talking about her bid to win the big

:16:37. > :16:40.race at Newmarket this weekend — the Cesarewitch.

:16:40. > :16:43.After the death of Sir Henry in June, Lady Cecil decided to continue

:16:43. > :16:46.training at the famous Warren Place stables. And on Saturday, her hopes

:16:46. > :16:48.are resting on a horse called Tiger Cliff.

:16:48. > :16:52.If you think it training racehorses is a glamorous business then you

:16:52. > :16:56.should have been an Newmarket Heath at 7am this morning. It was cold and

:16:56. > :17:00.wet and Jane Cecil was well wrapped up. Her big hope for Saturday at

:17:00. > :17:04.BetFred Cesarewitch is Tiger Cliff. Ridden by Tom Queally, he won a race

:17:04. > :17:12.in August and starts as a favourite this weekend. What would it mean to

:17:12. > :17:22.win at Newmarket? Well, what can I say... Henry has won it once. So it

:17:22. > :17:25.will be great if... I can imagine we will settle for winning it once,

:17:25. > :17:28.too. Henry actually won the Cesarewitch ay back in 1971, an

:17:28. > :17:35.early success in a glittering career, shared latterly with his

:17:35. > :17:38.third wife, Jane. Now, she has taken over the license and although she is

:17:38. > :17:46.very shy, racing fans want to hear what she has to say. How are you

:17:46. > :17:57.enjoying your new role? Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?! Well, I hate...

:17:57. > :18:00.This is the bit I really don't like. It's hard work but when you've got

:18:00. > :18:09.good people around you, you know, it's enjoyable. Sir Mark Prescott

:18:09. > :18:12.knows just how hard the racing game can be. He saddles Pallasator in the

:18:12. > :18:19.Cesarewitch, a race he has never won in more than 40 years of trying. He

:18:19. > :18:24.has this advice for Jane Cecil. She needs lots of luck. She's got a

:18:25. > :18:30.tremendous team of staff there, her husband's legacy is there. Racing is

:18:30. > :18:34.unforgiving, of course. Results are needed but she's made a fantastic

:18:34. > :18:38.start. Jane Cecil has already had some important wins and there is no

:18:38. > :18:42.doubt Henry would be incredibly proud. Victory on Saturday, at the

:18:42. > :18:53.home of flat racing, would be another very significant moment.

:18:53. > :19:01.Olympic Champion Greg Rutherford has been passing on his skills to school

:19:01. > :19:07.children in Milton Keynes, today. He even tried his hand at basketball.

:19:07. > :19:11.Greg Rutherford has struggled with injuries and form since winning gold

:19:11. > :19:14.at the London Olympics. In a moment, we'll hear from him but first, this

:19:14. > :19:19.report from James Burridge. If your dream is to be an Olympic

:19:19. > :19:23.champion then it helps to learn from one. Greg Rutherford's gold medal

:19:23. > :19:26.moment is the tale he is happy telling. His achievement has

:19:26. > :19:31.inspired hundreds at his local club, as well as these children from a

:19:31. > :19:34.local primary school. He has inspired me and taught me that

:19:34. > :19:43.anyone can do anything they like, if they tried. He just stands me rough

:19:43. > :19:49.and helps us. He was off. Well, he was OK but I think he should stick

:19:49. > :19:54.to long jump! 2013 has been a rude contrast to the glory of 2012. He

:19:55. > :19:58.lost his sponsor, split with his coach, suffered a serious injury,

:19:58. > :20:02.endured a public spat over his selection, before crashing out in

:20:03. > :20:07.the heats. I think five weeks on, you should not be running, let alone

:20:07. > :20:11.jumping. I know how to compete at big competitions. When I am fit and

:20:11. > :20:15.well I stand a good chance and sadly I think I felt better than I was. I

:20:15. > :20:21.was not good enough and those are the hard facts. Unlike others in the

:20:21. > :20:25.athletics world, Greg's golden moment has not provided the

:20:25. > :20:28.financial legacy he was hoping for. His training has taken a back—seat

:20:28. > :20:32.so that he can earn money through various media commitments. He has

:20:32. > :20:35.not lost his love of the long jump yet. The Commonwealth Games are less

:20:35. > :20:39.than one year away. Well, I spoke to Greg while he was

:20:39. > :20:42.at that event in Milton Keynes, this afternoon, and he told me how

:20:42. > :20:47.important he thought it was to inspire young people to take up

:20:47. > :20:52.sport. I think we have been having a bit of

:20:52. > :20:55.issue with this country are kids are not as active and engaged in sport.

:20:55. > :21:00.Just activity in general. I grew up about one mile from here. I go past

:21:00. > :21:04.the same places where I grew up and I was out there every single day

:21:04. > :21:08.playing around, climbing trees and now it is barren. There is nobody

:21:08. > :21:11.out there engaging in it and something like this is really

:21:11. > :21:15.helping, I feel, to get these kids engaged with them, outside and

:21:15. > :21:19.enjoying it. After winning gold, you have been doing lots of things like

:21:19. > :21:24.this. On a personal, sporting level, it has been quite an up and down

:21:24. > :21:29.your four years. It has not gone anywhere near to plan, as last did.

:21:29. > :21:34.It was the greatest year of my sporting career and life to date.

:21:34. > :21:38.This year, due to a massive injury, things just have not gone well for

:21:39. > :21:42.me. That has been a real problem. I think most of the year I was

:21:42. > :21:45.searching for the right training and environment in order to succeed

:21:45. > :21:50.again and I did not find it. Then again, in Paris, picking up the

:21:50. > :21:54.hamstring rupture completely ruined this year for me. I was desperately

:21:54. > :21:58.trying to get right for the World Championships. I gave it everything

:21:58. > :22:02.to go there and had fantastic support to make sure I could make it

:22:02. > :22:07.there but sadly, it just was not enough time. With Tyneside, would

:22:07. > :22:11.you have done things differently? Maybe not gone to the World

:22:11. > :22:14.Championships. —— with Tyneside. Speaker McNaught regrets.

:22:14. > :22:21.Ultimately, I was never going to find out unless I put myself in

:22:21. > :22:26.there. —— with hindsight. No regrets. I was able to jump

:22:26. > :22:32.beforehand, in training. To be perfectly honest. As much as I did

:22:32. > :22:35.not perform well, I think now I look back and I probably performed better

:22:35. > :22:40.than most other people would have done in the same circumstance. That

:22:40. > :22:43.is not good enough. I went in to win but ultimately, my body was in the

:22:43. > :22:47.position to not let me do that. Now, it is the focus on getting my body

:22:47. > :22:51.right again and getting everything focused incorrectly in the right

:22:51. > :22:57.scenario so that I can excel again and do well. It is an odd thing to

:22:57. > :23:00.ask but in a way, was the gold—medal a hindrance? It is such a pinnacle

:23:00. > :23:06.in your career, where'd you go there? Obviously, we go out there

:23:06. > :23:10.all the time to try and win competitions. The way I view the

:23:10. > :23:14.Olympics was another competition and possibly a chance for me to finally

:23:14. > :23:18.win something that really means a lot to everybody in the sport. Now,

:23:18. > :23:23.what that gave me was the passion and drive to go on and try and win

:23:23. > :23:26.major medals. I will be 29 when the next one comes along but before that

:23:26. > :23:29.we have World Championships, Commonwealth, other major

:23:29. > :23:35.competitions I want to win. I focused when from not just —— my

:23:35. > :23:38.focus went from not just winning one that multiple. I am getting up in

:23:38. > :23:41.the morning to train hard and putting all the work to do that

:23:41. > :23:44.again. The way things are going, that will happen and I can be more

:23:44. > :23:50.successful and solidify myself as one of the best long jumpers in

:23:50. > :23:55.history. How are you right now? I am feeling good. The hamstring is

:23:55. > :23:59.definitely in the latter stages of healing. All being well and good,

:23:59. > :24:03.within a month or six weeks, that will be completely gone. I will be

:24:03. > :24:06.back to my normal self and will be getting myself ready for the indoors

:24:06. > :24:11.before the Commonwealth Games. That will be a good test for me.

:24:11. > :24:13.Ultimately, I won a medal at the last Commonwealth. I will be looking

:24:13. > :24:18.to win the title next. It is great to talk to, as always.

:24:18. > :24:22.Thanks for coming on the programme. Three thank for having me.

:24:22. > :24:26.He is a very likeable young man and the kids love him also.

:24:26. > :24:32.A real inspiration. We are elated to a listener to the

:24:32. > :24:40.radio. They are sending in ties for you! Via. I quite like it.

:24:40. > :24:43.Very nice. It has been very wet and windy

:24:43. > :24:51.across the region. We have a couple of photos to show you. Some pretty

:24:51. > :24:58.strong winds across the region also. Not just the winds, running through

:24:58. > :25:00.eastern areas but they have tracked further westwards throughout the

:25:00. > :25:05.afternoon. The winds are still fairly strong. Rainfall total, we

:25:05. > :25:09.have had quite a bit already across some parts of Norfolk. Some places

:25:09. > :25:17.north of Norwich have had close to 20 monitors. The further south and

:25:17. > :25:24.west, not Azma rain. Of course, not just the rain. —— not as much rain.

:25:24. > :25:29.45 mph gusts in some places and 50 miles in some places. The winds will

:25:29. > :25:34.continue in some places and further spells of rain will spread and as

:25:34. > :25:37.those winds turn north—easterly. Maybe the odd rumble of thunder were

:25:37. > :25:43.the rain is thick. Not quite as cold as last night thanks to that cloud.

:25:43. > :25:47.Still feeling colder in that wind. This rain is coming courtesy of this

:25:47. > :25:51.weather front, sitting quite close to us over the North Sea for much of

:25:51. > :25:53.tomorrow. I think quite a lot of cloud around tomorrow. Little did a

:25:53. > :25:59.room in the morning but as we had to, mid—morning onwards, that will

:25:59. > :26:03.turn heavier and more persistent across parts of Essex and Suffolk

:26:03. > :26:06.particularly. The winds tomorrow will still be quite strong and

:26:06. > :26:11.coming in from the north—east and still close to 40 mph around the

:26:11. > :26:15.coast. Temperatures at best will be 15 degrees. This, feeling colder in

:26:15. > :26:20.the wind. That rain will continue on and off throughout the evening. Most

:26:20. > :26:25.other places will end the day dry. That we never clears but continues

:26:25. > :26:28.to most of Saturday, Asian backing against the region. Some heavy

:26:28. > :26:35.bursts on Saturday afternoon and evening. Finally clearing the

:26:35. > :26:40.north—west. —— actually backing back in against the region. There is the

:26:40. > :26:43.potential for some further rain into the early part of next week. Some

:26:43. > :26:48.further rain on Saturday, some heavy. Hopefully a bit brighter on

:26:48. > :26:51.Sunday. The picture is improving and the winds are easing so if you get

:26:51. > :26:55.some sunshine on Sunday, it will start to feel a little warmer. It

:26:55. > :27:00.does turn breezy with more showers into Monday. Also, through the

:27:00. > :27:02.weekend, some quite chilly nights, particularly late in the weekend.

:27:02. > :27:06.Perhaps a touch of frost for some of us also.

:27:06. > :27:08.Thank you very much. That is, . Had a good evening.

:27:08. > :27:13.Good night.
