:00:00. > 3:59:59Adebowale show nod remorse. That is all from us. Now we join our news

:00:00. > :00:00.teams where Hello and welcome to Look East.

:00:07. > :00:09.In the programme tonight: A damning report into cancer services at

:00:10. > :00:13.Colchester Hospital finds five treatment areas are unsafe.

:00:14. > :00:32.Now the whole hospital will be investigated. We have identified a

:00:33. > :00:33.number of problems in the cancer service which are replicated across

:00:34. > :00:35.the hospital. Caught on camera, the burglar

:00:36. > :00:39.helping himself. More than 30 years after a tragedy

:00:40. > :00:43.at sea, the memory of that day from one of the survivors. Every morning

:00:44. > :00:47.when you wake up I always say to myself it is a day that I might not

:00:48. > :00:54.have had and this has really brought it back to me, it really has.

:00:55. > :00:55.And the Christmas lights helping to raise money for a very special

:00:56. > :01:06.little girl. First tonight, a damning report

:01:07. > :01:10.about the quality of care for cancer patients at Colchester Hospital. It

:01:11. > :01:13.follows allegations that waiting times were fiddled to meet targets

:01:14. > :01:23.and the resignation yesterday of the Chief Executive Dr Gordon Coutts.

:01:24. > :01:27.This is an interim report by NHS England and it highlights serious

:01:28. > :01:31.failings at Colchester General. A team of experts has been working at

:01:32. > :01:34.the hospital for the past six weeks to establish the extent of the

:01:35. > :01:37.problems in cancer services there. They found that, as recently as just

:01:38. > :01:41.six days ago, five areas of treatment including skin cancer and

:01:42. > :01:44.urology were unsafe. As a result 13 patients have been recalled to

:01:45. > :01:47.hospital. Cancer cases dating back to 2010 are now to be reviewed and

:01:48. > :01:58.all departments at the hospital will be subject to the same scrutiny.

:01:59. > :02:01.Gareth George has this report. Ever since the Care Quality

:02:02. > :02:06.Commission revealed that staff at Colchester Hospital had been bullied

:02:07. > :02:11.into altering the treatment records of cancer patients, NHS has been

:02:12. > :02:16.preparing its own report. It is nearly 200 pages long and it makes

:02:17. > :02:22.extremely worrying reading because it reveals the scale of problems in

:02:23. > :02:27.cancer treatment here. At a media conference the NHS team said it had

:02:28. > :02:33.uncovered serious failings including in record keeping, departments still

:02:34. > :02:37.fax each other, there was no lead cancer nurse, standard procedure

:02:38. > :02:42.elsewhere. It was not even clear who was in overall charge. The report

:02:43. > :02:46.said that until six days ago five areas of treatment were deemed

:02:47. > :02:51.unsafe. They were urology, skin cancer, brain cancer, sarcomas and

:02:52. > :02:57.where it was not clear whether cancer had started. Could someone

:02:58. > :03:01.have died because of these failings? At this point in time I

:03:02. > :03:05.cannot answer that. We have a retrospective audit big `` a

:03:06. > :03:09.retrospective audit of past treatment now underway which could

:03:10. > :03:13.help us answer the question but I cannot even authoritative answer at

:03:14. > :03:16.the moment. I asked if there was a concern that failings in cancer

:03:17. > :03:22.treatment would be echoed elsewhere in the hospital. We have agreed to

:03:23. > :03:26.do a whole review of the hospital. Sometime in January or early

:03:27. > :03:30.February we will really be able to answer that question. NHS England

:03:31. > :03:33.says that cancer patients are still being sent to Colchester Hospital

:03:34. > :03:37.because it is confident that improvements have been made in the

:03:38. > :03:42.last few days. If people were to start going off to other trusts

:03:43. > :03:45.around the country they would not only potentially delay their own

:03:46. > :03:49.treatment and make it more difficult for us to keep track of what is

:03:50. > :04:10.happening to them but they would also potentially overload the cancer

:04:11. > :04:13.services in those hospitals and disrupt the treatment for people in

:04:14. > :04:15.those areas as well. While the NHS tries to establish how many patients

:04:16. > :04:17.might have been affected, the report does not question the quality of

:04:18. > :04:20.chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery. The issue of bullying will

:04:21. > :04:23.be looked at as `` the issue of bullying will be looked at in a

:04:24. > :04:25.separate report to next year. Earlier I spoke to the hospital's

:04:26. > :04:28.medical director, Dr Sean MacDonnell. Despite its critical

:04:29. > :04:31.verdict, he told me he welcomed today's report. I think we have had

:04:32. > :04:33.all of these teams coming through the hospital and the National

:04:34. > :04:37.intensive support team looking at our cancer services and it gives us

:04:38. > :04:40.a blueprint on how to improve the services make them as good as

:04:41. > :04:45.possible. The kind of things criticised here, understaffing, poor

:04:46. > :04:49.governance, poor record keeping, this is a clinical problem and just

:04:50. > :04:54.an admin issue and you are in charge of the clinical side of the

:04:55. > :04:58.hospital. The doctors are professionally accountable to me,

:04:59. > :05:01.that is correct. One of the things noted on in the report is the

:05:02. > :05:06.commitment and teamwork of the clinical staff. I have worked here

:05:07. > :05:10.for 17 years and these are very passionate motivated and caring

:05:11. > :05:15.people who want to do the best for the people of North Essex. I have no

:05:16. > :05:18.doubt that many of them are completely committed by patients

:05:19. > :05:22.have suffered. It could be hundreds that they find in the future have

:05:23. > :05:27.actually suffered because of it. We are talking about life`and`death

:05:28. > :05:33.issues here, aren't we? The survival figures in a North East Essex for

:05:34. > :05:36.cancer are in line with the national average and are improving. This

:05:37. > :05:42.report gives us an opportunity to improve our services even more. Just

:05:43. > :05:45.last week it was announced that you are not meeting your cancer

:05:46. > :05:50.targets. Why can you not get yourself back on track, knowing the

:05:51. > :05:55.problems that you have? The staff are working very hard. The cancer

:05:56. > :05:59.targets in particular, we have had a number of teams coming through the

:06:00. > :06:06.hospital wanted to interview the cancer specialist. We have had

:06:07. > :06:10.issues with the capacity in some specialities and we have been trying

:06:11. > :06:14.to recruit additional staff to increase that and treat patients on

:06:15. > :06:18.time. We are working very hard to improve all of our services. Are you

:06:19. > :06:27.concerned that this could be a more widespread issue than we are

:06:28. > :06:31.currently looking? This report is very helpful to us in that it gives

:06:32. > :06:37.us the areas which we need to focus on to improve the care that we

:06:38. > :06:41.provide to patients with cancer. Of course, we are looking at all areas

:06:42. > :06:45.of the hospital to make sure that we can provide the best possible care

:06:46. > :06:49.that you can. When you are talking that patients who could be listening

:06:50. > :06:52.to this and be very concerned, how can you reassure them that their

:06:53. > :06:56.health and well`being is at the foremost, head of statistics and

:06:57. > :07:03.targets and any figures that people are trying to keep? Patients are our

:07:04. > :07:06.number one priority. Throughout this my main concern has been about

:07:07. > :07:11.patients. Patients have been told that they may have had cancer or

:07:12. > :07:13.have had a recent diagnosis and they are very vulnerable and they have to

:07:14. > :07:18.be able to trust the people that will look after them. All I can say

:07:19. > :07:22.to them is that the staff here are really committed and motivated and

:07:23. > :07:25.wants to treat the patients in the best possible way. Thank you very

:07:26. > :07:29.much. We'd like to hear your experiences

:07:30. > :07:34.if you've had or are having cancer treatment at Colchester hospital.

:07:35. > :07:36.You can call us or email in the usual way or contact us via Facebook

:07:37. > :07:40.or Twitter. Planning permission has been given

:07:41. > :07:43.for one of the biggest solar farms in the country. When it opens we

:07:44. > :07:47.will have a total of eight solar farms in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.

:07:48. > :07:51.Most power between 2,000 and 3,000 homes. When this new one opens in

:07:52. > :08:02.West Raynham, it will produce enough power for more than 11,000.

:08:03. > :08:07.A disused RAF base for 20 years, this is as busy as traffic gets that

:08:08. > :08:13.West Raynham airfield. A few businesses have started up here. The

:08:14. > :08:16.site manager says there is plenty of potential for expansion. We have

:08:17. > :08:21.local businesses into the hangers and we have a lot of interest in the

:08:22. > :08:25.other two hangars. Next to some of this landscape will be transformed.

:08:26. > :08:29.You can see from the exposed topsoil where the runway used to be, that

:08:30. > :08:37.will be the centre of the solar farm. It will cover 225 acres, the

:08:38. > :08:43.equivalent of 125 football pitches. It will generate every year 48,000

:08:44. > :08:49.megawatt hour, enough to supply electricity to ?11,200. The company

:08:50. > :08:54.says that local people will benefit and it will help to fund a new

:08:55. > :08:59.playground and an RAF memorial and restoration of the control tower. It

:09:00. > :09:03.has told local residents able put ?25,000 a year into a community

:09:04. > :09:08.fund. Without the financial sweeteners, would you still be in

:09:09. > :09:14.favour? Yes, because maybe in a few years time we can get electricity

:09:15. > :09:18.from them. I do think you will see it. Norfolk countryside it will be

:09:19. > :09:21.quite well hidden. It has been derelict for years so it is time

:09:22. > :09:25.someone did something with it because it is a waste of land. The

:09:26. > :09:29.government is due to cut the subsidy it gives to solar power which means

:09:30. > :09:35.energy companies need to build bigger farms to make them

:09:36. > :09:38.profitable. Today local councillors approved this latest project, as

:09:39. > :09:44.long as the environmental impact is minimised. It is not hugely high and

:09:45. > :09:47.it is in the middle of a flat lands so it does not really impact and

:09:48. > :09:54.from any distance away you will not see it. The company says the layout

:09:55. > :09:57.will encourage biodiversity but not all wildlife groups are convinced.

:09:58. > :10:00.The panels will soak up the sun next summer and for the next three

:10:01. > :10:03.decades. A prolific burglar has been sent to

:10:04. > :10:06.prison for 32 months after he was filmed breaking into a house in

:10:07. > :10:10.Ipswich. Joshua Smith, who's 21, didn't leave any forensic clues. But

:10:11. > :10:18.what he didn't notice were the cameras dotted around the inside of

:10:19. > :10:23.the house. Simon Newton reports. It is the rare sight of a serial

:10:24. > :10:27.burglar at work. This is Joshua Smith sneaking around the back of

:10:28. > :10:31.owls in Ipswich last September. He is about to break in. We saw him

:10:32. > :10:34.looking through the windows at the back and he came through the window

:10:35. > :10:38.and he went around the house checking different areas. He had

:10:39. > :10:42.probably done it before. The homeowner asked not to be identified

:10:43. > :10:46.by Joshua Smith did not have such luck. This is his police mugshot

:10:47. > :10:51.after he was arrested because what he did not see the tiny cameras

:10:52. > :10:57.filming every room. When you looked at the footage, could you believe

:10:58. > :11:00.what you were seeing? It is violating experience to see someone

:11:01. > :11:04.walking around your house, sneaking around your house and then helping

:11:05. > :11:09.themselves to any area that you wanted `` that they wanted. The one

:11:10. > :11:13.that hit me most was in jumping across my bed and going through my

:11:14. > :11:16.bedside drawers. It was a bit disturbing. Afterwards it was quite

:11:17. > :11:21.comforting to know that we have the footage there but it was a bit of a

:11:22. > :11:26.shock to see it. This footage was his downfall. A police officer

:11:27. > :11:29.recognised him and he was arrested. In court he admitted burglary,

:11:30. > :11:34.claiming he had done it because he was broke. In a way he might not

:11:35. > :11:39.have been caught at all because he covered himself up. They did not

:11:40. > :11:41.find a trace of him being here. Forensics went around everywhere and

:11:42. > :11:46.we could see where he had been unwary attached you could see him

:11:47. > :11:50.wiping off the surface. He was wiping everything to make sure

:11:51. > :11:57.nothing was left. He did not really take anything of any great value. He

:11:58. > :12:01.left laptops and just stole a child's gun and some laptops `` some

:12:02. > :12:04.computer games and some perseverance. He did it all for

:12:05. > :12:09.about a hundred quid 's worth of stuff. It was bizarre. Eventually he

:12:10. > :12:15.sauntered off with the stolen items in a rucksack. The judge said he had

:12:16. > :12:19.an appalling criminal record and jailed him for 21 months.

:12:20. > :12:21.Council officers have spent the day pouring over spreadsheets after the

:12:22. > :12:23.Government announced how much money it'll be giving to local authorities

:12:24. > :12:29.next year. Once again the figure is coming

:12:30. > :12:34.down. Andrew Sinclair is here. How bad is it? None of this has come

:12:35. > :12:39.as any great surprise, councils had expected another cut this year but

:12:40. > :12:43.it is still not nice. Next year the average cut in the government grant

:12:44. > :12:48.for councils in our region will be 3%. It might not seem very much but

:12:49. > :12:51.if you are a District Council that is ?500,000 less that you are

:12:52. > :12:57.getting from the government and if you are a County Council it could be

:12:58. > :13:00.millions of pounds less. The big losers are once again great

:13:01. > :13:09.Yarmouth. They are losing more than ?1 million. The two big winners from

:13:10. > :13:12.our region this time around Cambridge and articles Flood. They

:13:13. > :13:18.get more money next year because they have been rewarded for building

:13:19. > :13:23.new homes. How are the council is expected to make the shortfall? Not

:13:24. > :13:27.by raising council tax. The government has made it clear they

:13:28. > :13:32.expect them to freeze council tax and they do not believe they should

:13:33. > :13:38.cut services either. They think council should become more efficient

:13:39. > :13:40.by looking at the back office. With English councils spending billions

:13:41. > :13:46.this year councils must focus on cutting waste and making sensible

:13:47. > :13:51.savings. There is significant scope for councils to merge back office

:13:52. > :13:55.services or do more joint working. We seem to be talking every year

:13:56. > :13:59.nowadays about councils cutting their budget. Will this carry on

:14:00. > :14:03.happening? Council budgets have now been cut by more than 40%. The

:14:04. > :14:08.councils say they are trying their hardest but they cannot keep on like

:14:09. > :14:12.this. Thank you. A driver who deliberately ran over a

:14:13. > :14:15.young pedestrian has been jailed for 12 years. Adam Reeve, who lives in

:14:16. > :14:19.Wisbech, swerved into his victim in Falcon Road in June last year. The

:14:20. > :14:36.25`year`old man was thrown into the air. Still to come on the programme

:14:37. > :14:39.tonight: Survivors of a shipping disaster 31 years ago come to

:14:40. > :14:41.Felixstowe to remember those who died.

:14:42. > :14:44.And with just five days to go you tell us about the best dressed homes

:14:45. > :14:50.across the region. House prices in the East look set to

:14:51. > :14:53.rise by 10% next year. A new report says our region will see the highest

:14:54. > :14:58.rises outside London. The prediction comes from the Royal

:14:59. > :15:02.Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It says it's already seeing signs of

:15:03. > :15:05.a hike in prices. In fact, prices have been moving up over the past

:15:06. > :15:14.three months and it expects that to continue. The reason it says, demand

:15:15. > :15:20.is now outstripping supply. Back in July Elizabeth put her house

:15:21. > :15:25.on the market. 32 viewings in just five days, a frenzied stream of

:15:26. > :15:29.offers. The asking price long for bottom. Then she and her partner

:15:30. > :15:35.found their perfect home and found themselves locked into their own

:15:36. > :15:38.bidding war. A lady came along and offered ?30,000 more than us and

:15:39. > :15:43.then approach the vendors directly over the head of the estate agent

:15:44. > :15:52.which did not go well. In the end we had to go over the asking price.

:15:53. > :15:54.Elizabeth secured the deal but many Cambridge buyers are losing out time

:15:55. > :15:58.and again. There is simply no stock. They are building a lot of new homes

:15:59. > :16:04.but it does not cover all the new jobs. We are seeing an enormous allt

:16:05. > :16:08.strip of supply over demand at the moment, particularly for young

:16:09. > :16:15.families, families in their 30s in what we see as the mid`price range,

:16:16. > :16:19.there are just not enough houses to go around. Therein lies the problem.

:16:20. > :16:23.Not enough houses and people reluctant to give up the old ones.

:16:24. > :16:30.This estate agent has seen more interest from first`time buyers. We

:16:31. > :16:34.have not used the governments scheme but we have asked to `` that we have

:16:35. > :16:40.had to ask for help from our family to get the deposit because the

:16:41. > :16:46.amount of money that you need is 15%. In the New Year house prices

:16:47. > :16:49.are expected to rise by 10% but there will always be peaks and

:16:50. > :16:54.troughs across East Anglia. It is the obvious areas, those that are

:16:55. > :17:00.commutable to London and the cities with their own dynamics. Other areas

:17:01. > :17:04.are going to be more subdued, reflecting the weaker economic

:17:05. > :17:07.fundamentals around the area in which the residential property

:17:08. > :17:11.market is based. For Elizabeth it was outwith the old and in with the

:17:12. > :17:16.new, quick and easy, but other buyers may be so lucky.

:17:17. > :17:19.31 years ago today a ferry, the European Gateway, was leaving the

:17:20. > :17:24.Port of Felixstowe when she was involved in a collision with another

:17:25. > :17:27.ship. 70 people were on board. Six of them were killed. Today in

:17:28. > :17:30.Felixstowe a memorial to the victims was unveiled. And among the crowd

:17:31. > :17:44.some of those who survived that night. Kevin Burch has this report.

:17:45. > :17:48.The wreck of the ?18 million North Sea ferry, European Gateway... Think

:17:49. > :17:53.of their families who have grieved and left without their physical

:17:54. > :17:57.presence for all of these year. Life hangs by a very thin thread. Six

:17:58. > :18:03.lives lost that night but others bound freight on their side and made

:18:04. > :18:08.it, only Jost. Simon from Felixstowe was one of them, 23 at a time and a

:18:09. > :18:13.merchant seaman. I was relatively young then and the man who dropped

:18:14. > :18:17.in mid`dash`mac jumped in with me was not and the cold stopped his

:18:18. > :18:22.heart and unfortunately he was one of the casualties. What was

:18:23. > :18:26.surprising was that the accident happened so soon after the ferry

:18:27. > :18:29.left the port of Felixstowe. People were just getting their heads down

:18:30. > :18:33.and half an hour into the journey when there was suddenly mayhem.

:18:34. > :18:43.There was a knock on the door saying that we are sinking and I said, get

:18:44. > :18:46.off, you are joking. I fell out of bed because we started to tip over.

:18:47. > :18:49.I was rescued by the pilot Bo Stanley `` I was wreck # I was

:18:50. > :18:56.rescued by the pilot boat and he must be recommended because we had

:18:57. > :19:00.to jump from the ship onto the lifeboat. Every morning when you

:19:01. > :19:07.wake up I say to myself it is a day that I might not have had. This has

:19:08. > :19:12.really brought it back to me. This event really affected our town. It

:19:13. > :19:15.had an amazing impact and cast a shadow over the town for many weeks

:19:16. > :19:21.because it was lying out there in the sea. This memorial is high up

:19:22. > :19:24.over the spot where are the spot where their ferry came to grief. Now

:19:25. > :19:29.most people stand to take in the view they can always take time to

:19:30. > :19:38.remember those who died and the incredible bravery of those who'd

:19:39. > :19:42.I'd `` who took part in the rescue. Most people are looking forward to

:19:43. > :19:45.winding down for a few days over Christmas but if you're a football

:19:46. > :19:50.player or a manager it's the busiest time of the year. The games come

:19:51. > :19:53.thick and fast and there is little time out to enjoy the celebrations.

:19:54. > :19:56.Which, of course, affects the whole family. Anne Marie Davies is married

:19:57. > :20:00.to Karl Robinson the manager of MK Dons. So she will spend a lot of

:20:01. > :20:02.Christmas without him and his mood will change depending on the

:20:03. > :20:06.results. Karl Robinson and his wife, doing

:20:07. > :20:11.what all of us do at this time of year, racing around the shops. Do

:20:12. > :20:19.you need to go back to work with Mac he is under pressure! I have got 15

:20:20. > :20:24.minutes. Time is in short supply over Christmas. The MK Dons manager

:20:25. > :20:29.will spend a big day in Liverpool with his family before travelling

:20:30. > :20:34.back for Boxing Day match. The games come thick and fast, three matches

:20:35. > :20:38.in the space of a week. Are you used to being a football widow at

:20:39. > :20:44.Christmas time? Of course I am! It has been nine years so I am used to

:20:45. > :20:48.it by now. Does it get easier? No, I actually quite like it sometimes! I

:20:49. > :20:54.get to watch what I want to watch on the television. It proves that

:20:55. > :20:57.football can be joyful and also painful in equal measure. Three and

:20:58. > :21:02.a half years ago when he was appointed he was the youngest

:21:03. > :21:05.manager. Now he is the country 's sixth longest serving boss. It is

:21:06. > :21:12.like a roller`coaster, it is so up and down. He does bring it home. You

:21:13. > :21:16.do take it into Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon. And Monday and

:21:17. > :21:20.almost to the next game, but it is only because you care. That is the

:21:21. > :21:24.side of the relationship that I think we need to work on a little

:21:25. > :21:27.bit better, when to leave it alone. When I asked questions and I am

:21:28. > :21:31.still waiting for the answer I wonder where his headers. Do you

:21:32. > :21:46.ever worry about his health because it is a stressful job? Yes, the game

:21:47. > :21:50.at Wolves just gone I was sat with some of the Wolves fans but it was

:21:51. > :21:53.tough for me because I wanted to get up and I am passionate about when we

:21:54. > :21:56.score and I looked down at him and I thought he was going to have a heart

:21:57. > :21:59.attack so why do worry. It is like a yo`yo. He never keep still.

:22:00. > :22:01.Anna is an actress who has appeared in several soap operas is which

:22:02. > :22:04.helps when you are dealing with the drama that football throws up. A

:22:05. > :22:09.joint Christmas present? What about some good results?

:22:10. > :22:13.So there you are, a quiet drive, a starlit night the sound of carols on

:22:14. > :22:16.the radio. And then, there it is, unmissable, as high as the house,

:22:17. > :22:19.winking out Merry Christmas in bright multi`coloured lights. It

:22:20. > :22:24.seems that displays are getting more and more sophisticated. One of the

:22:25. > :22:35.brightest in this region is at Caister`on`Sea near Great Yarmouth.

:22:36. > :22:39.And Mike Liggins is there now. We are in Kipling close in

:22:40. > :22:44.Caister`on`Sea where they like their lights. At number 11 we have a

:22:45. > :22:50.family with a lovely display with Santa and the reindeer. At number

:22:51. > :22:55.nine it is a bit more understated. It is not until you get to number

:22:56. > :23:03.seven that the action really starts. Come and have a look at this! This

:23:04. > :23:09.is number seven. How magnificent is this! Who lives here? It is Jane and

:23:10. > :23:18.Barry. It is Barry that does all of the hard work. It is not until you

:23:19. > :23:23.see a birds eye view of number seven that you realise just how much work

:23:24. > :23:28.goes into the display here. Barry starts work in late October and work

:23:29. > :23:33.goes on into December. He has lost count of the number of bulbs but let

:23:34. > :23:41.us just, a lot. It started in a small way but it has grown. We just

:23:42. > :23:46.had a reindeer when we first had our granddaughter. We had a reindeer

:23:47. > :23:50.because of the grandchildren. It gradually got bigger and bigger and

:23:51. > :23:55.they expected it. I think Barry does it for himself as well, he really

:23:56. > :23:59.enjoys it. This is Barry and James fourth`year and this year the

:24:00. > :24:04.display is raising money for this little girl who has problems with

:24:05. > :24:09.her tummy. She has had countless operations and is always out of ``

:24:10. > :24:15.in and out of hospital. What will you do with the money? We are

:24:16. > :24:21.adapting our house for her needs. She needs a wet room and bedroom.

:24:22. > :24:26.She currently shares with her sister and she is unfortunately up quite a

:24:27. > :24:31.lot in the night and she keeps her elder sister up. Christmas lights

:24:32. > :24:42.are popular across the region. In Wellingborough this family set their

:24:43. > :24:50.display to music. Delays sent us some pictures of her

:24:51. > :24:54.house in Suffolk. OK, Christmas lights are not everybody's cup of

:24:55. > :24:58.tea but it is hard to argue with the displays like this. They raise money

:24:59. > :25:07.for charity and they definitely raise a smile.

:25:08. > :25:10.A lot of us would like snow for Christmas and we are told we will

:25:11. > :25:17.not get snow for this region but here we do have snow! How good is

:25:18. > :25:27.this! That is fantastic!

:25:28. > :25:32.Enough, Barry! That kept quiet! That is fantastic,

:25:33. > :25:37.what an amazing site! I have got news of rain rather than

:25:38. > :25:42.snow. A weather front is steadily moving across the country. It has

:25:43. > :25:45.got to the western parts of Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire

:25:46. > :25:49.with a heavy downpours. This evening and in the next few hours it will

:25:50. > :25:52.head to the east. There will be a bit of a wintry mix and a bit of a

:25:53. > :25:58.wintry mix and a bit of sleet mixed in but it is essentially rain. There

:25:59. > :26:03.will be gusty winds as well. It is not as gusty as last night. Behind

:26:04. > :26:09.it clear spells developed with cold temperatures. There is a risk of

:26:10. > :26:13.ice. There could be ground frost. We start tomorrow quite chilly but in

:26:14. > :26:17.the east it will not be too bad day. We have read the front `` we have a

:26:18. > :26:22.weather front that will bring us rain but not arrive until quite

:26:23. > :26:27.late. It will be after nightfall for the western half and in the half

:26:28. > :26:30.overnight. Tomorrow it will be mainly dry day with the rain turning

:26:31. > :26:35.up later. It will be on the heavy side and through the morning it is

:26:36. > :26:39.not a bad start. It will be chilly with sunny spells and a fine

:26:40. > :26:44.morning. The temperatures are six or seven degrees so it will feel chilly

:26:45. > :26:47.with a moderate and south`westerly wind. Increasing amounts of cloud

:26:48. > :26:51.will come from the west bringing rain eventually. It will be patchy

:26:52. > :26:59.to start with and get going overnight and it could have a few

:27:00. > :27:02.heavy bursts. It will bring strong wind and gusts of around 50 mph are

:27:03. > :27:05.possible through the evening and overnight. We get through into our

:27:06. > :27:12.weekend with the weather front lingering. It is looking like a wet

:27:13. > :27:16.and windy start with rain sticking around for much of the day. In the

:27:17. > :27:20.West there is a better chance of clearing the rain away. Temperatures

:27:21. > :27:25.will be milder but factor in the wind and it will not feel any

:27:26. > :27:29.milder. It will be a chilly but windy day on Sunday but it will be

:27:30. > :27:34.largely dry with quite a lot of sunshine. More cloud on Monday with

:27:35. > :27:37.more rain on its way. Thank you very much. That is all

:27:38. > :27:39.from us for this evening. Have a good evening. We will see you

:27:40. > :28:14.tomorrow. Good night. Me and Alan don't always

:28:15. > :28:17.play by the rules. I think perhaps we should

:28:18. > :28:22.never mention it again.
