:00:00. > :00:09.rest of the week. Thank you.
:00:10. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight...
:00:14. > :00:17.Turned down for IVF because her fiance already has children. This
:00:18. > :00:21.woman says she will fight to get the NHS to change its policy.
:00:22. > :00:25.I was devastated. For something I've wanted for such a long time, I felt
:00:26. > :00:29.like my dreams had been shattered. A week after the storms, the village
:00:30. > :00:32.where the telephone lines still haven't been reconnected.
:00:33. > :00:35.The row over NHS bosses who take big redundancy pay offs, only to get
:00:36. > :00:40.rehired by the health service somewhere else.
:00:41. > :00:41.And Norwich City fans look away now. All seven goals from Hughton's
:00:42. > :01:07.horror show. First tonight, who should be
:01:08. > :01:10.eligible for IVF treatment on the NHS? We have been speaking to one
:01:11. > :01:17.woman who thinks the authorities have got it wrong.
:01:18. > :01:21.Her name is Clare Walker, and she knows that IVF is her only hope of
:01:22. > :01:24.getting pregnant. Which is why she applied for treatment through her
:01:25. > :01:27.GP. But because her fiance already has two children from a previous
:01:28. > :01:35.relationship, the NHS said no. Simon Newton has been to meet her.
:01:36. > :01:56.Clare Walker has always wanted a baby but problems with her fallopian
:01:57. > :02:01.tubes means she cannot conceive naturally. She cannot get IVF
:02:02. > :02:05.because her fiance, Matthew, has two children from a previous
:02:06. > :02:13.relationship. I was just lost for words.
:02:14. > :02:18.The policy on who qualifies is strict. Women must normally be aged
:02:19. > :02:23.between 23 and 39, not be a smoker or obese and be childless. It is a
:02:24. > :02:29.wide definition. The guidelines say there should be known living child
:02:30. > :02:32.from the cobbled's current or any previous relationships, regardless
:02:33. > :02:37.of whether they lived with him. This includes any adopted child within
:02:38. > :02:41.current or previous relationships. People may say that unfortunately
:02:42. > :02:52.there is not enough money for IDF to go around. Her partner has children,
:02:53. > :02:55.that is her decision that she has gone with a ready`made family. That
:02:56. > :02:58.sounds harsh, but some people may hold that view, what would you say
:02:59. > :03:00.to that gimmick a lot of people have been quite negative with regards to
:03:01. > :03:03.me having it funded on the NHS. I understand where they are coming
:03:04. > :03:05.from but I have worked all my life, I paid my taxes and I have
:03:06. > :03:09.contributed for people having treatment on the NHS.
:03:10. > :03:12.Since April this year, fertility treatment has been run by Clinical
:03:13. > :03:18.Commissioning Groups. There are 19 of them in the East of England. In
:03:19. > :03:25.her case, it is West Norfolk CCG. We asked them for a comment today
:03:26. > :03:29.but it was not forthcoming. Clare has now appealed against the
:03:30. > :03:34.decision. If she feels she says she will adopt or foster. She cannot
:03:35. > :03:43.afford private IVF treatment. For now she has to wait and hope, her
:03:44. > :03:46.dream of being am closer. `` her dream of being And Simon
:03:47. > :03:49.Newton is with me now. A mum is no closer. It seems to me
:03:50. > :03:51.everybody in the Clinical Commissioning Group has been doing
:03:52. > :03:54.this by the book. Yes, they have. We have bounced
:03:55. > :03:59.between organisations trying to get an answer to this. The National
:04:00. > :04:05.Institute of clinical excellence laid stoned the guidelines do this,
:04:06. > :04:14.but they only refer to a woman's body weight, whether she smokes,
:04:15. > :04:16.age, they don't cover other aspects. Generally, across the country the
:04:17. > :04:22.rule seems to be if you have inherited a family, as Clare has
:04:23. > :04:26.done, you don't get IVF. What are the grounds of her appeal?
:04:27. > :04:31.Essentially in her eyes it is fairness. It `` she doesn't believe
:04:32. > :04:36.it is fair she is suffering for the situation she has no control over.
:04:37. > :04:40.She said you cannot choose who you fall in love with and points out
:04:41. > :04:43.that quite rightly, perhaps, people move around from relationship to
:04:44. > :04:47.relationship and don't stay with the same person of their life and these
:04:48. > :04:51.situations will arise. There is a chink of light perhaps for her,
:04:52. > :04:56.because the CCG, of which there are 19 in the East, will review this
:04:57. > :05:00.policy soon. They may perhaps look at this again, but if they let more
:05:01. > :05:04.women have IVF that involves more money and that the something the NHS
:05:05. > :05:10.does not have much of. At the moment she looking on the downside, rather
:05:11. > :05:13.than a positive outlook. And if you have a story to tell
:05:14. > :05:20.about IDF, we would love to here from you. `` IVF treatment.
:05:21. > :05:26.A former civil servant who stole more than ?160,000 from colleagues
:05:27. > :05:29.at a tax office in Southend has been jailed for two and a half years.
:05:30. > :05:33.Ruth Kevan ran a savings scheme. But Basildon Crown Court heard how she
:05:34. > :05:38.spent much of the money on holidays and clothes. Gareth George was in
:05:39. > :05:43.court, and he joins us now. The court heard today how Ruth Kevan
:05:44. > :05:48.swindled the people she worked alongside out of a lot of money. She
:05:49. > :05:53.took over the running of the Christmas savings club at HM Revenue
:05:54. > :05:58.and Customs office in Southend. It became more of a general savings
:05:59. > :06:02.scheme offering, in hindsight, unrealistically high levels of
:06:03. > :06:06.interest come up to 14%, but Ruth Kevan was taking much of the money
:06:07. > :06:10.herself. If a colleague wanted to withdraw some of the money from the
:06:11. > :06:15.scheme, Ruth Kevan would pay them with money put in by another
:06:16. > :06:20.colleague. In court today it was described as robbing Peter to pay
:06:21. > :06:28.Paul. This went on for nearly a decade. Around 40 of Ruth Kevan's
:06:29. > :06:34.colleagues put in around ?40,000 `` sorry, but in total ?212,000 into
:06:35. > :06:38.the savings scheme, but when the scheme was stopped there was only
:06:39. > :06:43.around ?48,000 left. What did the court fear about what
:06:44. > :06:47.she spent the money on? `` what did the court here?
:06:48. > :06:50.The court was told she did not have an extravagant lifestyle, she did
:06:51. > :06:56.not buy your order at flash card, she lived in a rented house in
:06:57. > :07:01.Southend. `` she did not buy a yacht. The court was told she did go
:07:02. > :07:07.on holiday and stayed in nice hotels. She bought Mace clothes, the
:07:08. > :07:12.court was told. The hearing was told that she frittered the money away.
:07:13. > :07:30.`` she bought nice clothes. One of her colleagues said she felt
:07:31. > :07:33.betrayed, another said it was a terrible blow at the end of their
:07:34. > :07:36.working life. She admitted 21 counts of fraud and one count of theft and
:07:37. > :07:39.was jailed for two and a half years. She is going to try and pay her
:07:40. > :07:41.colleagues back with her pension, which he is entitled to receive in a
:07:42. > :07:45.couple of years time. This time last week we were clearing
:07:46. > :07:48.up after the biggest storm to hit this region for ten years. Thousands
:07:49. > :07:52.of homes were without power and there was major disruption on road
:07:53. > :07:56.and rail. A week later the power is back on, but not all the phone
:07:57. > :07:59.lines. In the village of Elmdon in Essex, 80 people are offline. BT
:08:00. > :08:02.won't tell us how many other villages are affected.
:08:03. > :08:08.Around 250 people in Elmdon, which sits in Essex on the border of
:08:09. > :08:12.temperature and Hertfordshire. In the past week some locals have
:08:13. > :08:16.felt even more isolated than usual after losing their landlines in a
:08:17. > :08:18.spot where mobile phone coverage is virtually nonexistent.
:08:19. > :08:22.Because we do not have a mobile phone signal we would have thought
:08:23. > :08:27.someone would come from BBC to explain what is `` from BT to
:08:28. > :08:32.explain what is happening. On a scale of one to ten, how would
:08:33. > :08:37.you rate the performance? `1. We have a lot of elderly people
:08:38. > :08:42.here, some not too well, and BT have left them completely lost.
:08:43. > :08:46.This was the cause ` to trees tumbled in last week's high winds
:08:47. > :08:51.taking the phone lines down, cutting the connections to around 80 homes.
:08:52. > :08:55.BT told us in a statement today putting this right will take a
:08:56. > :09:00.significant amount of work. They have to put in a new poll and 600
:09:01. > :09:05.yards of cable. They say they do not hit any unforeseen problems
:09:06. > :09:08.hopefully everyone will be back on my weapons they.
:09:09. > :09:13.From consternation to pottable const `` compensation. In the immediate
:09:14. > :09:17.aftermath of the storm, seven `` several hundred thousand homes and
:09:18. > :09:20.businesses were without power, many back on quickly. Just over 20,000
:09:21. > :09:25.customers in the East were blacked out for more than two days and will
:09:26. > :09:31.receive compensation, anything from ?54 up to ?270 for those without
:09:32. > :09:37.power the longest, that is over 96 hours. The total is more than ?1.1
:09:38. > :09:42.million. The firm UK power networks is starting to send out letters to
:09:43. > :09:51.those affected this week. It says it is already committed to reviewing
:09:52. > :09:53.how the Campbell `` handled the storm and back in the village of
:09:54. > :09:55.Elmdon... They do not care enough to simply
:09:56. > :09:57.let people know what is going on, then they will have people ranting
:09:58. > :10:06.down cameras, as I am doing. And we heard about that story
:10:07. > :10:13.because Bob Woods sent us an e`mail. If you have a story to
:10:14. > :10:16.tell, please get in touch. Three armed robberies in Southend
:10:17. > :10:21.are being linked by the police. They all happened yesterday evening. A
:10:22. > :10:25.man went into Corals Betting in Sutton Road threatened the staff
:10:26. > :10:28.with a gun and got away with some cash. A man and a woman had their
:10:29. > :10:30.mobile phones taken and were also threatened.
:10:31. > :10:34.A five`year`old boy has been shot and seriously injured in an accident
:10:35. > :10:37.at his home in Essex. Police were called to the house in Wickford
:10:38. > :10:40.yesterday. An 18`year`old has been arrested for possession of a firearm
:10:41. > :10:42.and drug offences and released on bail.
:10:43. > :10:45.Full time firefighters in this region were on strike again this
:10:46. > :10:48.morning in their row with the Government over retirement ages and
:10:49. > :10:51.pensions. The two hour stoppage by members of the Fire Brigades Union
:10:52. > :10:58.started at 6am. The
:10:59. > :11:04.still to come tonight, how safe are our level crossings? Within the last
:11:05. > :11:13.hour, Network Rail has been talking to MPs. We are live at Westminster.
:11:14. > :11:21.Plus, Norwich's for `` worst defeat since the war. How good as this
:11:22. > :11:24.season been for canary 's funds? There has been strong criticism
:11:25. > :11:27.today of a revolving door policy at the NHS, where managers are paid
:11:28. > :11:30.redundancy and then re`employed a few weeks later. Millions of pounds
:11:31. > :11:33.have been paid out in compensation as part of a re`organisation of the
:11:34. > :11:37.health service. The Health Minister and local MP Dan Poulter described
:11:38. > :11:41.the pay`outs as a waste of taxpayers' money that should have
:11:42. > :11:43.been spent on patients. More from him in a moment, but first here's
:11:44. > :11:57.Alex Dunlop. Until April this year, there were 16
:11:58. > :12:00.Primary Care Trusts in our region. But the government says they were
:12:01. > :12:02.too bureaucratic and replaced them with the same number of GP`led
:12:03. > :12:06.Clinical Commissioning Groups. It meant that 29 managers were made
:12:07. > :12:09.redundant at a cost to the NHS of almost ?3 million. Nine received a
:12:10. > :12:13.payoff of more than ?100,000. Four were paid more than ?150,000, and
:12:14. > :12:16.one manager's exit package was worth more than ?200,000. Now some of
:12:17. > :12:23.those made redundant have gone on to get other management jobs within the
:12:24. > :12:27.NHS. Those Primary Care Trusts were doing
:12:28. > :12:31.a good job and didn't need to be disbanded only for those same
:12:32. > :12:35.managers to then be redeployed elsewhere in the new National knelt
:12:36. > :12:42.`` National Health Service. That is a scandalous abuse of public money.
:12:43. > :12:46.Among those who rejoined the NHS is this man, Andrew Morgan. Currently
:12:47. > :12:49.interim head of the East of England Ambulance Trust, he was the chief
:12:50. > :12:53.executive of a cluster of local PCTs. NHS Norfolk set aside ?492,000
:12:54. > :12:57.to compensate him for losing that job. It is not known if he has taken
:12:58. > :13:00.it. All these payments are perfectly legal, but health unions say the
:13:01. > :13:07.payoffs are a scandalous waste of money.
:13:08. > :13:11.Unison members working in health in the East of England recognise the
:13:12. > :13:17.significance for cuts they are facing, the financial pressures, and
:13:18. > :13:20.they are outraged that taxpayers' money is going on this rather than
:13:21. > :13:23.on front line patient services. The Government is now under pressure
:13:24. > :13:26.to claw back those compensation payments if those who get them
:13:27. > :13:29.simply walk back into an NHS job a few weeks later.
:13:30. > :13:35.Earlier today I spoke to the Suffolk MP and Health Minister Dr Dan
:13:36. > :13:41.Poulter, and started by asking if it would be possible to claw back some
:13:42. > :13:44.of the money. We are certainly going to do our
:13:45. > :13:49.best to do so. The problem has arisen because in 2006 the previous
:13:50. > :13:53.Labour government awarded very senior managers of these sorts of
:13:54. > :13:57.profligate and unacceptable redundancy terms. We are now coming
:13:58. > :14:01.to terms with what that means, which is that you have front line staff
:14:02. > :14:04.feeling pressure on the front line, feeling as if they are being kicked
:14:05. > :14:08.in the teeth by these arrangements, and also patients that are sought
:14:09. > :14:11.changed. It is completely unacceptable and we are putting in
:14:12. > :14:16.measures that will mean in the future these sorts of redundancy
:14:17. > :14:20.payments to senior managers will not happen again.
:14:21. > :14:24.`` short changed. When the reorganisation was being discussed,
:14:25. > :14:29.did anyone say, it will cost us ?500 million in compensation, are we sure
:14:30. > :14:34.we want to do this two the reorganisation costs 1.5 `` is
:14:35. > :14:37.saving ?1.5 billion every year by reducing bureaucracy, the number of
:14:38. > :14:43.blunders and recording costs taking money out of the front line.
:14:44. > :14:48.`` reducing the number of managers. In the meantime, we inherited this
:14:49. > :14:52.significant set of redundancy terms that were unacceptable. I don't know
:14:53. > :14:56.what the previously the government were thinking when they allowed
:14:57. > :15:01.senior managers to be paid ?400,000 in redundancy. That is unacceptable
:15:02. > :15:04.and it's short`changing patients. That is why we are looking at how we
:15:05. > :15:09.can make sure this does not happen again. When we look at this what we
:15:10. > :15:12.see is that we have a lot of hard`working front line staff in the
:15:13. > :15:19.NHS. The union is right in condemning this, as well, because
:15:20. > :15:22.front line staff need more interesting `` more investment. We
:15:23. > :15:26.need more investment in front line staff, not wasting money on these
:15:27. > :15:31.profligate payments a consequence of the previous government.
:15:32. > :15:36.Do we pay people who are accountants and managers more than we pay
:15:37. > :15:38.doctors, and is that right two you are absolutely right to say that
:15:39. > :15:42.under the arrangement of the previous government we have a ring
:15:43. > :15:46.`` we have a situation where senior managers in the NHS are paid...
:15:47. > :15:49.I am sorry to interrupt you, you keep blaming the previous
:15:50. > :15:53.government, you have been in power for quite a few years. Shouldn't you
:15:54. > :15:58.have sorted this out sooner? That is why we put in place reforms
:15:59. > :16:02.to the NHS, which is saving ?1.5 billion, reducing the number of
:16:03. > :16:07.managers and administrators, around 20,000 in the NHS, to make sure we
:16:08. > :16:11.can invest more in front line staff. Part of that is also about reforming
:16:12. > :16:14.some of the excessive salaries we have inherited from the previous
:16:15. > :16:17.government. We are putting those measures in place and getting to
:16:18. > :16:22.grips with those unacceptable redundancy pillage `` payments that
:16:23. > :16:25.we inherited. We will make sure that we will do better as a government
:16:26. > :16:31.than Labour did. We will not put money into eye watering redundancy
:16:32. > :16:35.payments that are eye watering and compromise patient care.
:16:36. > :16:41.Doctor Dan Poulter, thank you very much.
:16:42. > :16:47.The head of Network Rail has told MPs this evening that the deaths of
:16:48. > :16:50.two girls on a level crossing in Essex was a fundamental watershed in
:16:51. > :16:53.the railway industry. It is almost eight years since Olivia Bazlington
:16:54. > :16:56.and Charlotte Thompson were hit by a train at Elsenham. Network Rail was
:16:57. > :17:00.fined ?1 million for breaching health and safety laws, and ever
:17:01. > :17:03.since the girls' parents have been fighting to make the industry take
:17:04. > :17:06.the issue of level crossing safety more seriously. Two weeks ago they
:17:07. > :17:10.gave evidence to MPs at westminster. Tonight it has been the turn of the
:17:11. > :17:20.industry to respond. Let's join Andrew Sinclair at Westminster.
:17:21. > :17:24.Network Rail was fined nearly ?1 million for health and safety
:17:25. > :17:28.breaches after the deaths of Olivia Bazlington and Charlotte Thompson.
:17:29. > :17:31.At the time the company said they had not been taking this issue very
:17:32. > :17:35.seriously but that things have changed.
:17:36. > :17:38.I would say that we are now in a different place. I have to pay
:17:39. > :17:46.tribute to the actions of the families at the time. Elsenham was a
:17:47. > :17:51.fundamental watershed for this business. We were in a much worse
:17:52. > :17:53.place several years ago about managing level crossings and we are
:17:54. > :17:59.better now, though there are still a way to go.
:18:00. > :18:02.He went on to save negligent management was responsible for the
:18:03. > :18:06.deaths at Houghton and he said that Network Rail has risk assessed every
:18:07. > :18:10.level crossing and you can see that assessment on the company's website.
:18:11. > :18:15.Apart from being more aware of dangers, what else are they doing to
:18:16. > :18:20.micro we have also heard from Her Majesty 's Inspectorate of Railways
:18:21. > :18:24.who said that Network Rail has set aside ?109 million to close 500
:18:25. > :18:28.level crossings across the country over the next five years.
:18:29. > :18:34.In the last five years, the company has closed 750 level crossings. Her
:18:35. > :18:38.Majesty 's Inspectorate of Railways said he would not be unpleasant
:18:39. > :18:43.about this, but after deaths like the ones we saw at Elsenham, the
:18:44. > :18:46.industry has woken up. Level crossings in Great Britain are
:18:47. > :18:52.ranked in terms of the European community as the safest in Europe.
:18:53. > :18:55.However, the key is all about continuous improvement.
:18:56. > :18:59.We also learned this evening that Network Rail are looking at the
:19:00. > :19:03.signage around level crossings, but the company did warn that crossing a
:19:04. > :19:06.railway will always be a dangerous business, indeed someone died today
:19:07. > :19:13.in the north`east of England after being hit by a train on a level
:19:14. > :19:16.crossing. In football, the Norwich City
:19:17. > :19:20.manager, Chris Hughton, says he is hurting after his team were hammered
:19:21. > :19:22.at the weekend. But he says he is the right man to turn the season
:19:23. > :19:25.around. Saturday's defeat at Manchester City
:19:26. > :19:30.was the worst since the team lost 7`0 at Sheffield Wednesday back in
:19:31. > :19:36.1938. This result leaves them in the Premier League relegation zone and
:19:37. > :19:41.without a win in four. Both teams are now just wanting the
:19:42. > :19:46.whistle to go. Norwich's worst league defeat in 75 years.
:19:47. > :19:49.Time is ticking, sadly, for Chris Hughton.
:19:50. > :19:54.He put on a brave face, but this was a miserable day.
:19:55. > :19:59.At the moment it is hurting, we have let them down today.
:20:00. > :20:02.Sergio Aguero scores! As manager, I take full responsible
:20:03. > :20:06.at it. David Silva are arriving!
:20:07. > :20:15.2`0! We have the choice but to be far better next week.
:20:16. > :20:20.3`0! When it rains, it pours. And for five days at Bellevue job
:20:21. > :20:24.goals. Four at United, seven at city, hapless Norwich humour lead
:20:25. > :20:31.and humbled by successive trips to Manchester. Fans gave the club shop
:20:32. > :20:39.a wide berth. A lot of fans are very angry. Yes.
:20:40. > :20:42.No fight, no guts, it was disgusting. I think it is time for
:20:43. > :20:47.Chris Hughton to go. The danger would be to have a knee
:20:48. > :20:50.jerk reaction. There are other clubs for Chris Hughton to go to, and if
:20:51. > :21:01.we're stinted leave the danger is we have nothing to fill the space. ``
:21:02. > :21:05.and if we asked him to leave, the danger is.
:21:06. > :21:08.We have to stay positive, but it is not happening.
:21:09. > :21:13.Norwich are not much worse off than 12 months ago, the same number of
:21:14. > :21:17.wins, but, crucially, more defeats ` six compared with four after ten
:21:18. > :21:22.games last season. Fewer points, eight compared with ten, leaving
:21:23. > :21:25.them 18th in the relegation zone. I have confidence in my own ability
:21:26. > :21:30.and I have confidence in the changing room. We have been in this
:21:31. > :21:35.position before, last season, where the start was not as good, but where
:21:36. > :21:39.we have not been as on the back of a defeat like today.
:21:40. > :21:46.Not a record Premier League defeats ` that came nearly 20 years ago.
:21:47. > :21:50.Ipswich thrashed, 9`0 at Man Utd. Both Ipswich and Norwich ended up
:21:51. > :21:55.going down that year. If Norwich are to avoid a similar fate, results
:21:56. > :22:00.must improve. Chris Hughton spent millions reinforcing his team.
:22:01. > :22:00.Performances have not lived up to raised expectations.
:22:01. > :22:10.A horrible day for Chris Hughton. I think most of us recycle our
:22:11. > :22:11.household rubbish, but it's not so long ago that things were very
:22:12. > :22:15.different. Not in your house? We recycle it and
:22:16. > :22:19.get more back then! He goes to the recycling centre and brings back
:22:20. > :22:24.loads of stuff that we really do not need!
:22:25. > :22:28.20 years ago recycling rates were just 4% ` now they are 54% and
:22:29. > :22:33.rising. 20 years ago we hadn't heard of
:22:34. > :22:36.recycling centres, either. But, in fact, the first one had just
:22:37. > :22:45.been opened in Milton Keynes, from where Fae Southwell reports.
:22:46. > :22:50.It is called a factory for a reason. Recyclable waste is resorted here
:22:51. > :22:56.with absolute precision. It starts out as a mound of rubbish that is
:22:57. > :22:59.loaded onto conveyor belts. Paddles shuffle the items forcing
:23:00. > :23:03.heavy`metal food tins and drinks cans to fall through the gaps.
:23:04. > :23:07.Cardboard and newspapers are pushed to the front, while jets of air
:23:08. > :23:11.separate different coloured plastics.
:23:12. > :23:15.I think there is scepticism that we do not recycle what we take in, but
:23:16. > :23:18.we truly do. Some people think that by putting a few things in the
:23:19. > :23:22.recycling it doesn't make a difference but it makes a massive
:23:23. > :23:26.difference. Recycling was popular in wartime `
:23:27. > :23:35.the model make do and mend. But it fell out of failure `` favour in the
:23:36. > :23:40.consumer years of the early 90s. Bill Oddie launched a pilot scheme
:23:41. > :23:45.covering just 5000 homes. At the time only 4% of all household waste
:23:46. > :23:49.was recycled. Now in Milton Keynes it is more than 50%.
:23:50. > :23:55.Extremely forward`thinking, it took a lot of courage for the Council is
:23:56. > :23:59.to agree to set up a scheme, it was risky and costly but it has paid
:24:00. > :24:03.dividends. Everyone supports recycling.
:24:04. > :24:09.At this factory, they sought 16 tonnes of waste per hour, up to
:24:10. > :24:13.150,000 tonnes per year. Recycling has huge benefits. It protects
:24:14. > :24:20.finite resources, like oil, used to make plastic. The authorities also
:24:21. > :24:25.are saving by not paying landfill tax. The council now wants to boost
:24:26. > :24:30.recycling to 70% of all household waste. It is building a new ?140
:24:31. > :24:35.million facility to processed rubbish which may have inadvertently
:24:36. > :24:38.gone into the Blackburn instead. Many people do not realise how
:24:39. > :24:43.psychical waste management is. In the summer there will be more garden
:24:44. > :24:46.waste but at Christmas this pile of paper, plastic and bottles will be
:24:47. > :24:51.up to the ceiling. This month, the factory celebrates
:24:52. > :24:57.20 years in operation. It is holding an open day for the public on
:24:58. > :25:00.November the 16th. Looking at that conveyor belt, I am
:25:01. > :25:06.not sure what he would bring home! Luckily, not that kind of stuff! We
:25:07. > :25:12.get an off a lot of wood and things brought back.
:25:13. > :25:15.I am good to be in trouble! `` I am going to be.
:25:16. > :25:19.Today we had some rain arrived first thing but then it was a nice,
:25:20. > :25:23.November day. Quite blustery at times but from the satellite picture
:25:24. > :25:27.you can see this afternoon was largely clear skies and a lot of
:25:28. > :25:32.sunshine. The clear skies at the moment mean the temperatures are
:25:33. > :25:37.tumbling. We are already down to around two Celsius. We're looking at
:25:38. > :25:41.a ground frost in rural areas and perhaps a local air frost for some
:25:42. > :25:46.of us. Then it will change because this area of cloud and rain pushes
:25:47. > :25:50.in. By five or six o'clock in the morning it will probably be ringing
:25:51. > :25:56.across much of the region. Tomorrow, as we head into the early hours,
:25:57. > :26:00.temperatures rising a little bit. At that point it looks like we will
:26:01. > :26:04.have light winds, but they are picking up as this system rattles
:26:05. > :26:09.towards us. This brings cloud and rain but moves east very quickly. We
:26:10. > :26:13.will sort of cloudy with outbreaks of rain, but as the morning goes on
:26:14. > :26:16.we will start to see all of that edging into the North Sea with that
:26:17. > :26:23.weather front and brighter skies following behind with sunshine.
:26:24. > :26:28.Temperatures tomorrow, similar to today, actually, around 10 Celsius
:26:29. > :26:31.at best, but it will feel chillier because of the cloud and rain first
:26:32. > :26:43.thing and also because of the winds, which will be up lustily `` blustery
:26:44. > :26:48.Westerly. In the east, eventually the rain and cloud should clear,
:26:49. > :26:53.probably clearing the East Coast by 4pm. Then it is a dry, clear end to
:26:54. > :27:00.the day. What lies ahead for the rest of the week? Tuesday night, a
:27:01. > :27:03.dry, clear start, but then the next system arriving during Tuesday
:27:04. > :27:08.night, bringing more rain. That looks as if it could stay with us
:27:09. > :27:11.through Wednesday. There is a bit of doubt as to how far north the rain
:27:12. > :27:14.will spread and how long it will stick around, but as it stands it
:27:15. > :27:18.looks like the bulk of Wednesday will be cloudy with outbreaks of
:27:19. > :27:33.rain. Once that has gone, Thursday and Friday are looking better, quite
:27:34. > :27:35.blustery. Thursday, any showers should be few and far between and
:27:36. > :27:38.many of us should enjoy decent spells of sunshine. On Friday,
:27:39. > :27:40.probably a few more showers around and some of them on the heavy side.
:27:41. > :27:43.Again, not for everybody. That is it from all of us here,
:27:44. > :27:54.thank you for your company. Good night.
