:00:00. > :00:07.three times faster than wages. That is all from BBC News
:00:08. > :00:13.Welcome. In the programme tonight, train fares increase for everyone,
:00:14. > :00:18.but some are paying a whopping 5% more. I haven't had a pay rise for
:00:19. > :00:23.four years, so how you're meant to do that is beyond me. As pubs
:00:24. > :00:30.continue to close, more communities decide to take on their local.
:00:31. > :00:36.Britain's got talent star Ronan Parke hits back at bullies. And when
:00:37. > :00:41.it comes to doing an annual stock take at Banham Zoo, some animals are
:00:42. > :00:44.easier to count than others. A woman involved in a car crash in
:00:45. > :00:55.Norfolk in which two children first tonight, reaction here in the
:00:56. > :01:00.east to those fare rises. The average cost for rail travel across
:01:01. > :01:05.England has gone up by around 3%. Here, it's far more. The song, the
:01:06. > :01:10.increase is a whopping 5%. Who is taking the heat of that 5%
:01:11. > :01:15.rise? Travellers between Colchester and Charles Wood. The cost of an
:01:16. > :01:18.annual season ticket is now ?2012. If you are travelling between
:01:19. > :01:32.Ipswich in London, an annual season ticket has now reached ?6,000 for
:01:33. > :01:34.the first time. That's only a rise of 2.7%. Commuters from Norwich to
:01:35. > :01:37.London are also hard hit. Season tickets are now almost seven and a
:01:38. > :01:39.half thousand pounds. That's just over a 4% rise. We have looked at
:01:40. > :01:43.the reaction to the increases. For many, this was the first day
:01:44. > :01:46.back at work after Christmas, and images in Norwich were facing
:01:47. > :01:51.another hike to the rail fares. The average rise on greater Anglia dust
:01:52. > :01:58.over 3% for stop there are no pay rises. I haven't had a pay rise for
:01:59. > :02:00.four years. It seems to me the benefits of privatisation have felt
:02:01. > :02:08.a long time ago. Commuters on Sea to see trains have
:02:09. > :02:12.the same increase. We just need to go to work, come home and sleep. We
:02:13. > :02:17.don't have money for anything else. OK, it goes up gradually. But so
:02:18. > :02:25.does everything else. The Chancellor said he would cap season fares and
:02:26. > :02:29.train tickets, but train comedies prefer to quote the average rise as
:02:30. > :02:32.much lower, because they include much discounted fares. In England,
:02:33. > :02:39.tickets are going up by an average of 2.8%, and these are the average
:02:40. > :02:46.rises here. Greater Anglia up 3.1%. East Midlands Trains up 2.6%. But on
:02:47. > :02:52.the publicly owned is coast mainline, the rise is just 1.21%.
:02:53. > :02:56.These fare increases may be the lowest in four years, but they still
:02:57. > :03:00.outstrip the rise in wages. It's part of a government drive to make
:03:01. > :03:03.rail passengers pay a higher proportion of the cost of running
:03:04. > :03:09.the railways, in effect putting more burden on the people who actually do
:03:10. > :03:12.use the trains. The main thing we're doing is making strenuous efforts to
:03:13. > :03:21.improve performance, and were working closely with our colleagues
:03:22. > :03:26.to recognise that over 60% of the delays that are incurred are
:03:27. > :03:28.attributable to infrastructure. Today the Green party staged
:03:29. > :03:33.protests at stations across the region. They say the rail fare rises
:03:34. > :03:37.are a rip`off. You say renationalise the rumours? Bring them back into
:03:38. > :03:42.public ownership then tries by franchise. An MP has a Bill in
:03:43. > :03:45.Parliament that would do that. A return to the days of British rail
:03:46. > :03:54.will not happen. Fares will continue to go up. All passengers can hope
:03:55. > :03:58.for our small increases. And the latest figures show that
:03:59. > :04:02.across the country, 26 pubs close every week. But there is some good
:04:03. > :04:06.news. Last year, the number taken over by the community doubled. They
:04:07. > :04:10.become a community business with each investor having one vote
:04:11. > :04:14.regardless of how much money they put in. There are three of these
:04:15. > :04:21.so`called corporative pubs in Norfolk and Essex, and five more are
:04:22. > :04:26.in the pipeline. Let's go to Essex. The Norton in Cold Norton.
:04:27. > :04:32.They still have the Christmas decorations up here. Not for long.
:04:33. > :04:36.The Norton, surprisingly busy for 20 to seven on a Thursday. I think Sun
:04:37. > :04:40.put the word out there would be on the pleased. This pub is only open
:04:41. > :04:46.because the locals raised enough money first to rent it, and now they
:04:47. > :04:51.have raised ?125,000 to try to buy it. More and more of these community
:04:52. > :04:56.or collaborative pubs are peering across our region, and I went to
:04:57. > :05:01.Bentley near Ipswich where they are trying to do something very similar.
:05:02. > :05:04.In Bentley, all the villagers can do is stand outside the pub in the
:05:05. > :05:10.rain. But they are soon hoping they will be back at the bar with a pint.
:05:11. > :05:14.It's imperative that we get in there as soon as possible before it
:05:15. > :05:20.deteriorates any further. We talk about the church, the community
:05:21. > :05:23.halls, and really the pub is the other elements, along with the shop,
:05:24. > :05:27.that forms the core of any village. This is really why we don't want to
:05:28. > :05:34.lose this one. This picture was taken after a darts match way back
:05:35. > :05:39.in 1947. The pub has been at the centre of village life for well over
:05:40. > :05:43.a century. When it closed in March, villagers decided to club together
:05:44. > :05:49.to try to buy it. They have raised nearly ?250,000. We have around 170
:05:50. > :05:56.investors. The minimum investment has been ?250. I think the largest
:05:57. > :06:01.investment we have had is around ?10,000. A lot of our regulars in
:06:02. > :06:06.the pub have taken up refugee status in pubs in surrounding villages, so
:06:07. > :06:10.people are very anxious to see it reopened. They have now raised
:06:11. > :06:16.enough money to make an offer. They are with fingers crossed that it
:06:17. > :06:21.will be accepted. I think some of the people here
:06:22. > :06:25.might still be here after New Year's Eve. We're joined by the
:06:26. > :06:30.chairman of the pub. How vital was to try to keep this pub open? This
:06:31. > :06:36.pub had been closed for three years when we took the Novell, and during
:06:37. > :06:45.that time, the Cold Norton became a dull place to live. It lost its
:06:46. > :06:49.sense of community and you never made any new friends or met new
:06:50. > :06:53.people. We can hear the scene tonight. There is a great
:06:54. > :06:57.atmosphere. It is a pub with a great atmosphere. As I mentioned earlier,
:06:58. > :07:04.it has become the heart of the village for most people. How easy
:07:05. > :07:07.was it to raise the money? How many people contributed? Surprisingly
:07:08. > :07:13.easy. Even in these economic times. People were fed up with the fact
:07:14. > :07:19.that pubs were closing each week and they knew that for the investment
:07:20. > :07:28.they could make a difference. It was surprisingly easy. We made ?125,000
:07:29. > :07:32.and there are about 80 shareholders, of which 80% of those are
:07:33. > :07:35.villagers. What would you say to other villagers who want to do the
:07:36. > :07:40.same thing? Do you think of would go? Inc very hard about it. It is a
:07:41. > :07:44.tough business to be in and it is about getting a lot of things right.
:07:45. > :07:50.If you can do that, the boards are really good and it gives you a good
:07:51. > :07:55.feeling. Thank you very much. So maybe this is one way to save a
:07:56. > :08:00.great institution, the village pub. Thank you very much. Mike Perry is
:08:01. > :08:04.from the Plunkett Foundation, an organisation which gives support and
:08:05. > :08:07.advice to people looking to set up a community project. I started by
:08:08. > :08:12.asking why it is the tech community pub is more likely to succeed than a
:08:13. > :08:17.traditional business. We have a huge amount of ideas and enthusiasm from
:08:18. > :08:22.a variety of people. They will encourage the person running the
:08:23. > :08:25.pub, whether that is a member `` member of the community or tenant to
:08:26. > :08:31.run it in a way that will make sure they are successful. It is things
:08:32. > :08:35.like it is buying pubs and trying to keep the rent as low as possible to
:08:36. > :08:41.give a tenant or manage at the best chance as possible of making it a
:08:42. > :08:45.success. We have seen the statistics of communities that have taken over
:08:46. > :08:50.their pubs, they are still open. As far as raising the finances are
:08:51. > :08:54.concerned, how easy is it to get the kind of backing many? Is not easy,
:08:55. > :09:03.but we have seen communities achieve it, and we're pleased to see people
:09:04. > :09:08.commit to a fund that will support team unity run enterprises, which is
:09:09. > :09:12.coming online around autumn next year. That will be a real help as
:09:13. > :09:17.well. What does this do for the community as a whole? It does a
:09:18. > :09:20.couple of things. Saving pub is a massive achievement. The fact that
:09:21. > :09:22.you have saved a pub meet you have an asset and you can do wonderful
:09:23. > :09:28.things with that. People talk about it being not moored then a pub, so
:09:29. > :09:31.offering cafes facilities during the day and then a pub in the evening.
:09:32. > :09:35.It gives communities a huge amount of confidence that they can face
:09:36. > :09:40.whatever challenges they are facing and can do it themselves. It is a
:09:41. > :09:47.transformative effect. We have seen community run pubs have communities
:09:48. > :09:50.that go out and do a lot more than just saving the pub. Of course this
:09:51. > :09:56.is a business, and businesses do fail. What happens if a pub doesn't
:09:57. > :10:00.make it? I'm sure it will happen at some point. Unfortunately, we will
:10:01. > :10:05.get one that does fail. When you look at communities running shops,
:10:06. > :10:13.so parallel communities running pubs, 318 are still open today. That
:10:14. > :10:17.is over a long period. That is about double the survival rate of any
:10:18. > :10:23.other form of business. They really are successful and vital and also
:10:24. > :10:32.should not be forgotten that they have succeeded when other pubs have
:10:33. > :10:36.closed. Thank you very much. A woman involved in a car crash in
:10:37. > :10:40.Norfolk in which two children died is to be sentenced later this month.
:10:41. > :10:43.Marie Easter was driving on the A47 near Wisbech just over a year ago
:10:44. > :10:46.when the crash happened. Her partner's two daughters, aged seven
:10:47. > :10:48.and ten, were killed. She has since admitted causing death by careless
:10:49. > :10:51.driving. The novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard
:10:52. > :10:54.has died at her home in Suffolk. Her publicist said the writer died
:10:55. > :10:58.peacefully this afternoon at her home in Bungay. She was 90 years old
:10:59. > :11:01.and had suffered a short illness. She was best known for the Cazalet
:11:02. > :11:08.Chronicles, the fifth volume of which was published last summer. A
:11:09. > :11:11.man has been charged with a New Year attack that is loved a man
:11:12. > :11:14.critically in hospital. He suffered head injuries when he was set upon
:11:15. > :11:19.in Queen Street in Colchester in the early hours of yesterday morning.
:11:20. > :11:22.Alexander Turner who is homeless, has been charged with grievous
:11:23. > :11:26.bodily harm. It's almost a month since the tidal
:11:27. > :11:29.surge. One of the worst hit areas was St John's Road in Lowestoft.
:11:30. > :11:32.Some people lost almost everything when their homes were flooded by
:11:33. > :11:36.water 3ft deep. Our reporter Kevin Burch was there at the time. Today
:11:37. > :11:39.he went back to check on the clean`up.
:11:40. > :11:43.It feels really strange coming back here today, because the last time I
:11:44. > :11:46.was here after the flood, this whole area was covered with swine and
:11:47. > :11:50.sludge. There is loads of activity as people were clearing out
:11:51. > :11:54.possessions, things that had been damaged by the flood water. Today, a
:11:55. > :12:01.lot of people have moved out temporarily and some have gone for
:12:02. > :12:08.good. This man is still here though. This rented house is uninhabitable
:12:09. > :12:11.ball. Got a knock it down? Yes. It is not just damp but noisy too, with
:12:12. > :12:16.work underway to get out neighbouring properties. Pat is
:12:17. > :12:19.struggling to find a temporary place you can afford, so she stayed here
:12:20. > :12:26.for Christmas. How was that? Terrible Mac. We still have the
:12:27. > :12:33.humidifiers. The house is smelling damp and very moist, so it is not
:12:34. > :12:37.very pleasant. Down the road, Stephen's home was also swamped.
:12:38. > :12:43.Eventually the water ended up they are, but I caught it about there. He
:12:44. > :12:48.spent sister `` Christmas with his sister. How long until things are
:12:49. > :12:51.back to normal? They are saying six to eight months, but I'm not sure
:12:52. > :12:56.that it will be that short. I think it will be more like a year. Today,
:12:57. > :13:02.finally, there were getting their power back on. It was one small step
:13:03. > :13:15.forward. It has proved a frustratingly slow restoration
:13:16. > :13:20.process. Still to come. The girls from last night's football. Ronan
:13:21. > :13:27.Parke talks to us about beating bullies. And we are with the great
:13:28. > :13:31.animal count at Banham Zoo. 1,500 jobs are be created this year
:13:32. > :13:35.with the opening of a second Center Parcs site in the region. It's one
:13:36. > :13:38.of a number of developments on the business scene in 2014. Our business
:13:39. > :13:46.correspondent Richard Bond has been looking at the prospects for this
:13:47. > :13:51.region. New Year cheer has been lacking on
:13:52. > :13:56.this production line ever since the recession. Jobs have gone, a shift
:13:57. > :14:01.has been cut. This year, the workers had reason to feel perky. This event
:14:02. > :14:05.will be launched in the spring. This will guarantee production for the
:14:06. > :14:10.next 12 years. It's been made here since 2001. It could have turned out
:14:11. > :14:16.so differently for one of the region's last major factories. This
:14:17. > :14:20.model nearly went to France, but after lengthy negotiations going
:14:21. > :14:23.right to the top of government, a decision was made to keep production
:14:24. > :14:29.here. Huge sums have been invested in the plans, including ?40 million
:14:30. > :14:33.in this new body shop. It will assemble the vans using the latest
:14:34. > :14:38.robotics, and if things go well, a second shift could be added. We
:14:39. > :14:44.anticipate that in the midst of 2015, the volume will blow up and
:14:45. > :14:47.out guys will get two shifts. That is our prediction provided the
:14:48. > :14:51.market will grow as anticipated. It won't be all good news in the
:14:52. > :14:57.manufacturing sector. This factory will close in the spring with a loss
:14:58. > :15:03.of more than 200 jobs. It was founded in the town. It's jobs have
:15:04. > :15:10.moved to Hertfordshire. The infrastructure is badly in need of a
:15:11. > :15:17.boost. It will get one late in the year. Work on the last stretch of
:15:18. > :15:21.single carriageway between two more areas is being completed. Another
:15:22. > :15:27.significant event, this time for tourism, will be the opening of the
:15:28. > :15:30.new Center Parcs in Bedfordshire. The ?250 million project is due to
:15:31. > :15:35.welcome its first guests in the spring. Center Parcs will inject
:15:36. > :15:40.approximately ?20 million into the regional economy. As well as that,
:15:41. > :15:45.we're creating many jobs, and they are permanent. 1500 jobs all year
:15:46. > :15:49.round. We're right on the doorstep of the south`east here. Millions of
:15:50. > :15:53.potential customers to come and enjoy our facilities at Center
:15:54. > :15:56.Parcs. With unemployment falling and growth picking up, it could be a
:15:57. > :16:01.good time to open a holiday park, especially one close to the
:16:02. > :16:04.south`east. And tomorrow, our sports editor
:16:05. > :16:08.Jonathan Park will be looking ahead to a year in sport ` in particular
:16:09. > :16:10.the for gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games.
:16:11. > :16:14.Lots of you will remember Ronan Parke from Britain's Got Talent. He
:16:15. > :16:19.was the bookies' favourite to win the competition in 2011 but finished
:16:20. > :16:22.in second place. Since then, Ronan, who's from Norfolk, has released an
:16:23. > :16:25.album and a string of singles. His latest record, Defined, is out on
:16:26. > :16:30.Monday and will raise money for Kidscape, the anti`bullying charity.
:16:31. > :16:33.This afternoon I spoke to Ronan Parke and Peter Bradley from
:16:34. > :16:40.Kidscape about the message they were hoping to get across.
:16:41. > :16:44.I was very close with the writers who were writing the song, and I
:16:45. > :16:48.spoke to them closely saying about my experience with bullying, which
:16:49. > :16:54.was online after Britain's got talent. It was just name`calling
:16:55. > :16:58.mostly on social networking sites. I think Kidscape just connected with
:16:59. > :17:02.the song, because it is talking about not just the effect of how
:17:03. > :17:07.people will feel about bullying, but about how they can overcome it and
:17:08. > :17:11.not let it define you. The video is hard`hitting. Very powerful. I
:17:12. > :17:16.suppose that is really important to actually show the kind of effects
:17:17. > :17:20.that bullying has. Even filming it, I stood there watching it being
:17:21. > :17:26.filmed, and it's like giving you shivers because it was so realistic.
:17:27. > :17:31.It's very bad cases of bullying, but that they can be like, and that's
:17:32. > :17:35.what we wanted the video to really show people. The statistics on
:17:36. > :17:40.bullying are still pretty shocking. So many young people affected. We
:17:41. > :17:45.have heard about cyber bullying from Ronan, but is verbal bullying still
:17:46. > :17:49.the worst`case? In the United Kingdom, verbal bullying is the most
:17:50. > :17:54.common form of bullying. As you've seen, cyber bullying affects so many
:17:55. > :17:58.young people, and of course it's 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and
:17:59. > :18:04.is an relentless. The thing about cyber bullying is that you are
:18:05. > :18:08.one`on`one, aren't you? You're looking at something. No one else
:18:09. > :18:12.need be around you all see what's happening. With cyber bullying, it's
:18:13. > :18:19.the fact that it can be so ruthless, and you can't see people's reactions
:18:20. > :18:24.to it. That's why I think it is a very bad case of bullying. All
:18:25. > :18:27.bullying is awful, but I think cyber bullying, because you consider
:18:28. > :18:32.reactions or see how people will deliver quick. More people are
:18:33. > :18:35.getting tablets and phones where they are going on social networking
:18:36. > :18:42.sites. What would you say to anyone who is being bullied? It's important
:18:43. > :18:46.that you are from if you are being bullied, you tell a trusted adult as
:18:47. > :18:50.soon as possible. A parent, adult friend, a teacher. By telling
:18:51. > :18:56.someone, it can be stopped, because as we know, once it goes viral and
:18:57. > :19:01.around the world, news travels quickly. Speed is of the essence to
:19:02. > :19:05.stop cyber bullying. Kidscape's research shows that quite a few
:19:06. > :19:09.parents and teachers don't know how to deal with cyber bullying. What
:19:10. > :19:13.you think is the answer? How can they be educated? What's important
:19:14. > :19:20.is that young people and teachers and parents work together joined up
:19:21. > :19:22.approach. The education of cyber bullying has to be within the
:19:23. > :19:27.curriculum and teachers need to be more aware and pass that knowledge
:19:28. > :19:31.on to young people. You have dealt well with what happened to you.
:19:32. > :19:35.Obviously things are going well now? I've learnt not to look at it
:19:36. > :19:43.and just take a step back, not read the comments. But people can be
:19:44. > :19:49.awful, but people can also be really kind, so I think I'm lucky to be
:19:50. > :19:54.able to have people who support me, and my fans are great to me and they
:19:55. > :19:59.really help me as well. They are so supportive. They've been supportive
:20:00. > :20:02.about the track and what me and Kidscape are doing. I'm grateful.
:20:03. > :20:08.Good luck to both of you. Thank you very much.
:20:09. > :20:12.In football, we start 2014 with a number of teams battling at the
:20:13. > :20:14.wrong end of the table. But both Ipswich and Southend were unbeaten
:20:15. > :20:18.over Christmas. Northampton are still searching for a new manager,
:20:19. > :20:21.while Norwich are hoping to find form. Yesterday's draw with Crystal
:20:22. > :20:24.Palace in the Premier League means they haven't won in five games.
:20:25. > :20:30.As Christmases go, very little to celebrate for Norwich. No wins, few
:20:31. > :20:34.points. 2014 now all about survival. Little to cheer at Selhurst Park, a
:20:35. > :20:38.game low on quality but high on spirits, with two teams each braced
:20:39. > :20:42.for a fight to the death. Bradley Johnson's goal a rare moment of real
:20:43. > :20:47.class. Johnson! Good effort, and in!
:20:48. > :20:51.Norwich City League! Soon, the mood turned sour. One
:20:52. > :20:55.player lucky to escape with just a booking for this, and Palace were
:20:56. > :21:01.level shortly after. Leroy Fer's foul, a booking and a penalty scored
:21:02. > :21:04.by Jason Puncheon. The second half all but a write`off, notable only
:21:05. > :21:09.for Fer's second yellow, meaning he will miss Saturday's FA Cup game
:21:10. > :21:12.with Fulham. A glance at the table shows Norwich have little breathing
:21:13. > :21:15.space. A 6`point cushion pre`Christmas has closed to just
:21:16. > :21:16.three over the drop zone, but one win would ease the pressure.
:21:17. > :21:19.three over the drop zone, but Ipswich begin the year in the
:21:20. > :21:24.play`offs upbeaten in eight, the Championship's form team. The gift
:21:25. > :21:27.of an own goal set them on their way, but Charleston denied them
:21:28. > :21:30.three points in injury time. Darren Ferguson has been longing for
:21:31. > :21:35.January, with the transfer window open. Expect arrivals and departures
:21:36. > :21:39.to reignite Peterborough's promotion push. Jack Payne's goal gave Posh
:21:40. > :21:41.hope against Brentford making it 1`1, but the leaders once again
:21:42. > :21:47.pulled away. It finished 3`1. The fact
:21:48. > :21:51.Colchester's goalkeeper was man of the match at MK Dons tells its own
:21:52. > :21:55.story. Sam Walker made a string of saves in a goalless draw. The Ewes
:21:56. > :21:59.rode their luck. The dominant Dons couldn't find a way through. Then a
:22:00. > :22:03.bleak picture. The Gillingham game off. Borough at bottom. The
:22:04. > :22:06.chairman's backed Graham Westley to turn it around, but with the manager
:22:07. > :22:09.under pressure to reduce the wage bill, there is little money to play
:22:10. > :22:14.with. A productive Christmas for Southend. Seven points from three
:22:15. > :22:17.games. Ryan Leonard scored late in each half to beat Portsmouth.
:22:18. > :22:20.Northampton start the year bottom of the football league and without a
:22:21. > :22:24.manager. We understand interviews have taken place with a small number
:22:25. > :22:31.of applicants. Iain Dowie is the favourite. Tom Williams, BBC Look
:22:32. > :22:34.East. There will be lots of companies
:22:35. > :22:39.doing their stock`taking over the next few weeks. It's not much fun,
:22:40. > :22:44.and can take time. But of course it gets a bit more interesting at a
:22:45. > :22:47.zoo. It's not always easy, because the zoo population changes over the
:22:48. > :22:51.course of the year, and occasionally some animals just don't want to be
:22:52. > :22:59.counted. But we sent Mike Liggins to Banham Zoo in Norfolk to see if he
:23:00. > :23:06.could be of any help. One two, three, four... They should
:23:07. > :23:10.have been ten, but I can only see nine. We did have some help from
:23:11. > :23:18.this little chap, who is keen to check out the paperwork. A stock
:23:19. > :23:26.take happens because suits need to know what they have. We contacted
:23:27. > :23:31.the breeding coordinators and do an update of what we've got and what
:23:32. > :23:41.sexes. Perhaps the most important number in the ban inventory is too.
:23:42. > :23:45.Two Siberian tiger cubs. They have been a huge draw over the summer.
:23:46. > :23:49.They are critically endangered species, so they are important in
:23:50. > :23:55.this breeding programme. There are thought to be less than 400 left in
:23:56. > :24:00.the wild. There are 120 species at Banham Zoo, and over 2000 animals in
:24:01. > :24:12.total. That number is hard to calculate because there are 1568
:24:13. > :24:18.cockroaches. And very friendly they are too. But not as friendly as the
:24:19. > :24:24.lemurs. Eight Ring tailed and five red ruffs. They are very different
:24:25. > :24:28.in character. The Red Cross, sweet as they are, they are more
:24:29. > :24:34.temperamental. The ringtail is a very laid`back, but might `` like
:24:35. > :24:37.most lemurs, they like food. You know that old showbiz saying about
:24:38. > :24:43.never working with animals and children? It's true. Meerkats can
:24:44. > :24:49.get into funny places. But one and my leg, sorry. And so can lemurs.
:24:50. > :24:56.When it comes to doing the annual stock... Oh, God! This one had left
:24:57. > :25:05.onto the camera. Perhaps he wanted to make sure he had been counted.
:25:06. > :25:10.Weren't expecting that. That's brilliant. The weather.
:25:11. > :25:15.An area of low pressure is bringing wet and windy traditions to the
:25:16. > :25:19.south`east of the King country. It is bringing problems overnight.
:25:20. > :25:24.Here, we get off quite lightly. There will be some rain later, but
:25:25. > :25:27.the big feat of these low for us will be the strength of the wind as
:25:28. > :25:32.it makes its way to the North Sea. Currently dry across the region. We
:25:33. > :25:37.will see increasing amounts of cloud moving from the West. This fairly
:25:38. > :25:41.narrow band of rain will battle through quickly tonight into the
:25:42. > :25:46.early hours of tomorrow morning. We will see some clear spells behind.
:25:47. > :25:52.Perhaps one or two showers. In terms of temperatures, they do stay mild,
:25:53. > :25:58.five to seven Celsius. It will be windy by the end of the night. Gusts
:25:59. > :26:02.around 45 knots per hour. We start tomorrow still quite windy. There
:26:03. > :26:05.will be some sunshine around first thing, and some blustery showers as
:26:06. > :26:09.well, particularly through the morning and into the early
:26:10. > :26:14.afternoon. Tending to die away through the late afternoon, but some
:26:15. > :26:19.sunshine out there. Certainly windy. Though speeds will pick up into the
:26:20. > :26:25.mid`afternoon, so these are the of average speeds we can see around
:26:26. > :26:30.2:00pm. Temperatures staying mild. 89 Celsius. The wind will make it
:26:31. > :26:34.feel chilly. Once more, we have the chance of some 40 mile an hour gusts
:26:35. > :26:38.through the afternoon and early part of the evening. Some showers still
:26:39. > :26:40.around the afternoon and evening, but they will tend to fade around
:26:41. > :26:46.with some clear spells developing later. The forecast will stay very
:26:47. > :26:50.unsettled, so the pressure pattern for Sunday really flags up that
:26:51. > :26:53.point. You can see the steep area of low pressure out into the Atlantic
:26:54. > :26:58.are pushing through some strong winds across the region. Having said
:26:59. > :27:04.that, Saturday does not look quite as windy. In fact, it may well start
:27:05. > :27:08.wet with outbreaks of rain through morning. By afternoon, it is looking
:27:09. > :27:13.more dry and brighter. Clearing skies for Saturday night. That will
:27:14. > :27:16.mean there is a risk of Frost as temperatures get close to freezing.
:27:17. > :27:22.In Sunday, will start dry and bright. Quickly turning cloudy, and
:27:23. > :27:26.is outbreaks of rain. This area of low pressure will bring some heavy
:27:27. > :27:31.rain for the evening on Sunday and into the overnight period. By Monday
:27:32. > :27:37.morning, still some showers around and still unsettled. A quick
:27:38. > :27:40.barometer check. 998 millibars. Thank you very much. That's all from
:27:41. > :27:46.us. Have a very good evening.
