:00:00. > :00:10.Say And Veteran MP Tim Yeo is shown the door by his own party. After 30
:00:11. > :00:18.years as the MP, local Conservatives in Suffolk vote to replace him. If
:00:19. > :00:24.you or appointed to the House of to represent us, do that job above
:00:25. > :00:27.everything else, otherwise, why do you go into the house?
:00:28. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to Look East with Susie and me.
:00:30. > :00:32.After that de`selection vote in South Suffolk, we get live reaction
:00:33. > :00:35.from the constituency which accused its MP of being "virtually
:00:36. > :00:39.invisible". Also tonight: No end in sight to the soggy weather in Essex.
:00:40. > :00:48.Today, the experts said we will have to get used to scenes like this. We
:00:49. > :00:51.have had four incidents where motorists have driven into
:00:52. > :00:53.floodwater and our crews have had to carry out rescues.
:00:54. > :00:57.And how to make your debut for England ` Saints star Luther Burrell
:00:58. > :01:07.gets off to a spectacular start in the Six
:01:08. > :01:13.Hello. East Anglia's longest serving MP Tim Yeo has lost his battle to
:01:14. > :01:16.regain his seat at the next election. The Conservative MP for
:01:17. > :01:21.South Suffolk was de`selected as a candidate after a vote among local
:01:22. > :01:27.party members. Mr Yeo was at Conservative
:01:28. > :01:31.party headquarters in London when he learned his status before 330 this
:01:32. > :01:35.afternoon. Nearly 500 local Conservatives had taken part in the
:01:36. > :01:39.vote. He was first elected in 1983 and has held the seat at six general
:01:40. > :01:42.elections. But many people believe he spent too much time away from
:01:43. > :01:48.South Suffolk dealing with other interests. Some say he had become
:01:49. > :01:53."virtually invisible." Today Mr Yeo said, "it had been a privilege to
:01:54. > :01:56.serve as the MP for South Suffolk". In a moment, Kevin Burch with
:01:57. > :01:58.reaction from the heart of the constituency. But first, our
:01:59. > :02:09.political correspondent Andrew Sinclair at Westminster.
:02:10. > :02:13.Until last week, just for Conservative MPs had ever been
:02:14. > :02:16.deselected by their parties. Then on Friday, association members in
:02:17. > :02:21.Thirsk got rid of and Macintosh. Today, Tim Yeo became the sixth MP
:02:22. > :02:25.to be dropped by his local as is using. They wanted a change. He did
:02:26. > :02:31.not want to go. He said he wanted the membership to judge him on his
:02:32. > :02:35.record. Well, they did. This is not how Mr Yeo or even many of his
:02:36. > :02:40.detractors wanted to see his career end. After 30 years as an MP, after
:02:41. > :02:44.winning the same seat on seven occasions, Mr Yeo has spent the last
:02:45. > :02:49.hour trying to put a brave face on his defeat. It was a knife edge
:02:50. > :02:53.result, but I respect the outcome, and of course, I would give my full
:02:54. > :02:57.support to my successor, whoever that is. But after 30 years as an
:02:58. > :03:02.MP, surely it should not end this way. Well, if you take part in
:03:03. > :03:06.democracies, you don't know how elections will tailor. Sometimes you
:03:07. > :03:09.win and sometimes you'll use. At lunchtime today, he snuck into the
:03:10. > :03:13.back of Conservative Party headquarters, avoiding the media. He
:03:14. > :03:20.watched as the 500 votes were verified and then counted. Three and
:03:21. > :03:24.a half hours later, the news was delivered via e`mail. South Suffolk
:03:25. > :03:28.had dropped to their MP. Mr Yeo has spent the last month campaigning
:03:29. > :03:32.hard to hold onto his job. He set up his website, on which dozens of MPs
:03:33. > :03:36.and friends pledged support. He said he was proud of his voting record
:03:37. > :03:41.and happy to be judged on it. I think there is overwhelming evidence
:03:42. > :03:44.about the effective role I have played in Parliament and in South
:03:45. > :03:48.Suffolk. Do you accept that you could have done more in your
:03:49. > :03:53.constituency and been seen them or? I have had a home there for 31
:03:54. > :03:57.years, I have let campaigns to keep health service operating, took place
:03:58. > :04:04.in a joint campaign to stop the 814 being extended, its part in a
:04:05. > :04:07.campaign against electricity pylons. Anyone interested in those
:04:08. > :04:12.issues will know I done the best possible job. He told me he will do
:04:13. > :04:16.their continue to work at Fritz constituency over the next 15
:04:17. > :04:21.months. The urgent task of finding a new candidate now begins. So why did
:04:22. > :04:25.they get rid of him? Ever since the expenses scandal, I think people's
:04:26. > :04:28.expectations of MPs have changed. I was speaking to a member of the
:04:29. > :04:33.local executive the other week who said we look at the neighbouring
:04:34. > :04:35.constituencies and young MPs like Ben Gummer and Matthew Hancock who
:04:36. > :04:39.are always in Parliament, always jumping up and down championing
:04:40. > :04:43.local issues in the house, in the local media a lark, and on
:04:44. > :04:47.constituency days, they always seem to have a full diary. We want a bit
:04:48. > :04:51.of that. I think the tragedy of this whole thing, however, is the party
:04:52. > :04:55.really wanted Tim Yeo to go quietly. There were a lot of discussions last
:04:56. > :04:58.year saying, please retire gracefully ugly with your head held
:04:59. > :05:01.high. He did not listen. Thank you very much. Today's outcome
:05:02. > :05:04.brings the curtain down on a political career spanning 30 years.
:05:05. > :05:11.Mr Yeo reached ministerial office, but had a bumpy ride along the way.
:05:12. > :05:16.Mr Tim Yeo. Let's hear what they are saying
:05:17. > :05:21.politician who is always courted controversy. An environment minister
:05:22. > :05:25.under John Major, he was forced to resign in 1994 after it was revealed
:05:26. > :05:27.he had had an affair and the child of the Conservative councillor.
:05:28. > :05:33.Conservatives in South Suffolk have not been ripped to the national
:05:34. > :05:42.spotlight. Despite the outcry, his constituency said by him. He was
:05:43. > :05:46.seen as very much of the politician. Now he will have much more
:05:47. > :05:50.opportunity to be constituency in peoples in opposition, he had
:05:51. > :05:54.several studied cabinet roles, but in 2005, he suddenly stood down.
:05:55. > :05:59.Over the years, he has become an expert on, particularly renewable
:06:00. > :06:02.energy. Good morning, thank you for coming in. He became chair of the
:06:03. > :06:06.influential energy select committee, and more controversially, developed
:06:07. > :06:12.a number of outside business interest in the energy market. Are
:06:13. > :06:16.you able to ask questions? I didn't want to tell them in advance what he
:06:17. > :06:19.should say. The Sunday Times alleged he had offered his services to help
:06:20. > :06:24.energy companies within Parliament. He was cleared of wrongdoing, but
:06:25. > :06:27.boasting about his influence did not luck good while in his constituency,
:06:28. > :06:32.there were regular complaints he had become an absent MP. I take very
:06:33. > :06:37.seriously the need to reduce greenhouse gases. Friends of Mr Yeo
:06:38. > :06:41.say that behind`the`scenes, he was very low and shall in fighting for
:06:42. > :06:45.improvements in the Ambulance Service, campaigning against the 814
:06:46. > :06:49.toll road and removing the head of Suffolk County Council. I am quite
:06:50. > :06:53.happy to be judged on my record on what I have done in South Suffolk,
:06:54. > :06:56.what I do in Westminster for Parliament under the Conservative
:06:57. > :07:03.Party, and I'm quite confident that my record, if people see that, they
:07:04. > :07:08.will reach the verdict I hope, which is that they will reselect me. Tim
:07:09. > :07:11.Yeo says he is proud of what he has done, but as local parties seem to
:07:12. > :07:15.feel it is time for a change. Let's see what they are seeing
:07:16. > :07:21.tonight in his constituency. Kevin Burch is in Sudbury. Yes, I think it
:07:22. > :07:24.is interesting as veteran MP was not beaten at the ballot box but by his
:07:25. > :07:28.own backers. It was very telling this morning in the constituency,
:07:29. > :07:31.even those close to him who supported him did not think this was
:07:32. > :07:34.a battle he could win. Critics say this was not a sudden uprising, but
:07:35. > :07:38.it had been going on for months. They had told him privately to do
:07:39. > :07:43.more, to engage more. They felt he had not got the message. This man
:07:44. > :07:50.was described as a force to be reckoned with here is a force no
:07:51. > :07:55.more. For the past 30 years here, this area has been part of Tim Yeo
:07:56. > :07:59.country. He has a house in the village, but he is also divided
:08:00. > :08:03.opinion among locals, with critics saying he simply hasn't been visible
:08:04. > :08:08.enough. If you are appointed to the House of Commons to represent us or
:08:09. > :08:13.whoever, in that job above everything else. If a younger man
:08:14. > :08:20.comes along, even Boris Johnson, just think that would be great. Alec
:08:21. > :08:24.Gardner runs the local store and has been a very public supporter of the
:08:25. > :08:32.MP. I am a similar age to Tim Yeo, and I don't think I've had it yet,
:08:33. > :08:34.and a lot of the people on the committee are older than him and
:08:35. > :08:40.they are making the decision. Perhaps it is them who stood down.
:08:41. > :08:44.This patch takes in Somerset at's most beautiful countryside. There
:08:45. > :08:49.are two main centres of population, Hadley and Sudbury. There are 70,000
:08:50. > :08:53.people in this constituency. It was created to boundary changes, and in
:08:54. > :08:57.1983, Tim Yeo was elected as its first MP. He has won every election
:08:58. > :09:03.since. This has always been his constituency, and that explains why
:09:04. > :09:09.this moment is so significant. For this business men, that moment take
:09:10. > :09:12.ever closer. As deputy chairman of the Conservative Party in South
:09:13. > :09:16.Suffolk, he wanted Tim Yeo out, and ten minutes before the official
:09:17. > :09:24.announcement, he got the outcome of the vote by text message from
:09:25. > :09:27.Westminster. He is out. There you go. Be selected by his local
:09:28. > :09:34.association, who criticised him for being virtually invisible. That is
:09:35. > :09:37.about it. Simon Barrett, the deputy chairman of the local party, looks
:09:38. > :09:43.pretty happy there. Let's talk to him now. Are you happy you're
:09:44. > :09:48.disappointed? Iron disappointed with the whole process, really. But you
:09:49. > :09:53.are happy that you now have a chance to move forward? Yes, exactly. I
:09:54. > :09:59.think we have a good opportunity to select a new candidate and move
:10:00. > :10:03.forward in South Suffolk. How would you best describe the relationship
:10:04. > :10:13.between your organisation and Mr Yeo? Professional. I don't think it
:10:14. > :10:18.has been friendly for probably the last two or three years. What is the
:10:19. > :10:24.worst thing he has done? What has upset you the most? Nothing that you
:10:25. > :10:29.can really put your finger on. I think it is just his lack of
:10:30. > :10:34.visibility. A lot of members felt that we needed a little more input,
:10:35. > :10:39.and South Suffolk and suffered generally being a blue area, it
:10:40. > :10:42.really hasn't had infrastructure investment, and I think we would
:10:43. > :10:46.have liked to have seen that coming through. So the wind turbines and
:10:47. > :10:52.Same Sex Marriage Bill bait is not why you have fallen out with him?
:10:53. > :10:56.Well, Same Sex Marriage Bill not apply to me. My gay son is getting
:10:57. > :11:03.married in December, so that is not really an issue. Some of your other
:11:04. > :11:11.members of the local organisation do not like that. Well, they do not.
:11:12. > :11:17.But equally, some people don't have an issue with it. I think,
:11:18. > :11:23.fortunately, that was not an issue that should be brought up. Who would
:11:24. > :11:26.you like to see... We saw Boris Johnson's name there. That will not
:11:27. > :11:31.happen. Who would you like to see in his place? I think basically, we
:11:32. > :11:38.want someone who is going to represent South Suffolk, get some
:11:39. > :11:42.infrastructure measures in place. These things need a lot of lobbying
:11:43. > :11:47.in Westminster, and I think we probably missed out a bit on that.
:11:48. > :11:51.Do you believe now that Mr Yeo should have back down a lot sooner
:11:52. > :11:59.and save the party a lot of this embarrassment? Yes, I think so. I
:12:00. > :12:04.had lunch with Tim in September, and I said quite clearly to him that the
:12:05. > :12:09.feeling was that it was time to go. Many people were saying that. Would
:12:10. > :12:15.you like to pay tribute to the work he has done for your constituency?
:12:16. > :12:19.Yes, I think absolutely. Anyone who puts in 30 years of their life into
:12:20. > :12:28.an area, he has done a lot of good things. And a lot of people have
:12:29. > :12:32.very good words for him. His constituency MP `` as a constituency
:12:33. > :12:33.MP in the past, he has done good things for individuals. Thank you
:12:34. > :12:37.for being with us. A councillor in Essex has been found
:12:38. > :12:39.guilty of breaching conduct rules after sending a tweet which it was
:12:40. > :12:44.claimed was racist. Danny Mayzes suggested scenes in a violent film
:12:45. > :12:46.called Machete were the best way to deal with immigration issues. He
:12:47. > :12:49.represents the Conservatives on Tendring District Council and has
:12:50. > :12:56.now apologised to his colleagues in a letter.
:12:57. > :13:00.Still to come: An amazing debut in the six Nations full Luther Burrell.
:13:01. > :13:10.Plus, the remarkable sound of a pianist
:13:11. > :13:18.with one hand. The Environment Agency has been
:13:19. > :13:22.defending itself today over complaints about its handling of the
:13:23. > :13:25.flooding crisis in Somerset. And closer to home, the Agency has
:13:26. > :13:30.repeated its assertion that it cannot afford to defend all of the
:13:31. > :13:34.areas prone to flooding. As you can see from this weather map, produced
:13:35. > :13:37.by The Met Office, parts of Essex have been deluged in recent weeks,
:13:38. > :13:40.and today many areas around the river Chelmer are still under flood
:13:41. > :13:46.water. So, what can be done here? Alex Dunlop has tonight's special
:13:47. > :13:52.report. When a site like this or this
:13:53. > :13:56.prompts a weary sigh, you know this is an issue which will not go away
:13:57. > :13:59.soon. In Essex, some drivers braved floodwaters. More than half a dozen
:14:00. > :14:04.had to be rescued from their vehicles. I would really ask
:14:05. > :14:08.motorists, stop and look at water, and think can you get through it?
:14:09. > :14:13.The fact you have stopped indicate you probably can't. Turn around and
:14:14. > :14:15.go another way. Meanwhile, in Cambridgeshire, this farmer says the
:14:16. > :14:22.flood water is threatening to ruin his livelihood and that of others.
:14:23. > :14:30.If we get a larger flood or more rain, the site will flood. It is
:14:31. > :14:33.just absolutely common sense. The weather has been exceptional. Part
:14:34. > :14:37.of the fans have seen three times the average rainfall for January.
:14:38. > :14:41.Because of this rapidly changing Atlantic pattern, there is no time
:14:42. > :14:46.for the water to drain away, so you end up with one lot of water falling
:14:47. > :14:49.on the soil to keep it saturated and the next lot of rain comes through,
:14:50. > :14:53.and it can't go anywhere but run straight up into the rivers drains,
:14:54. > :14:57.and cause the stress on the water management systems. Long`term
:14:58. > :15:01.solutions are planned. This weekend, the Ireland agency showed off a ?28
:15:02. > :15:04.million defence scheme for Great Yarmouth. Another is on the cards
:15:05. > :15:10.babes which. But today, the agency chairman said there is no bottomless
:15:11. > :15:14.purse. We could face a stark choice Dashti protect town or country from
:15:15. > :15:18.flooding. How do you decide whether to build fences and where to
:15:19. > :15:22.prioritise? Recently, the drive has been around protecting prebuilt
:15:23. > :15:26.property, but making those kind of decisions, we are also mindful of
:15:27. > :15:29.the commercial benefits defence schemes can bring, not only
:15:30. > :15:34.protecting properties but also jobs. Some experts say which is that back
:15:35. > :15:39.and take the long view, and it is not good news. Since the last ice
:15:40. > :15:44.age, written has actually seesawed so that Scotland has been rising and
:15:45. > :15:48.East Anglia has sunk by several millimetres per year. Scotland is
:15:49. > :15:52.still rising and East Anglia is still sinking. Is a noticeable in
:15:53. > :15:57.our lifetimes? There is a measurable change every year, and that is
:15:58. > :16:01.making the local sea level rise and making that more of a problem in
:16:02. > :16:04.East Anglia than elsewhere in the country. Ultimately, it is
:16:05. > :16:11.politicians who designed where our defences go. They are about to
:16:12. > :16:12.announce next year's flood protection budget. The government
:16:13. > :16:15.engineers and environmentalists acknowledge that some places may
:16:16. > :16:18.have to be sacrificed so that others can be saved.
:16:19. > :16:21.A wealthy businessman from Norfolk is being touted tonight as the next
:16:22. > :16:25.chairman of the education watchdog Ofsted. The speculation was
:16:26. > :16:29.triggered by the removal of the current chairman Sally Morgan. That
:16:30. > :16:34.decision, by the Education Secretary Michael Gove, has led to claims of
:16:35. > :16:39.cronyism. The first name connected with the vacancy is Theodore Agnew.
:16:40. > :16:48.He is the founder of a chain of new academy schools in Norfolk and
:16:49. > :16:55.Suffolk and a Tory supporter. He is little highly influential, and
:16:56. > :16:58.he founded the Inspiration Trust, which runs seven academy schools
:16:59. > :17:03.across Norfolk. Now he is also one of the front runners to become the
:17:04. > :17:06.new head of Ofsted. The son of a Norfolk farmer, Mr Agnew was a Tory
:17:07. > :17:13.party donor and in 2010, he advised Michael Gove, with whom he is a keen
:17:14. > :17:19.supporter. He is a most remarkable man, and he has come into education
:17:20. > :17:22.with a real mission to raise educational standards. It is the
:17:23. > :17:27.only job he wanted to do in governments, and he is making a
:17:28. > :17:31.difference. The Ofsted jobs available because Michael Gove has
:17:32. > :17:35.ousted the current occupant, Labour peer Baroness Morgan. She has called
:17:36. > :17:39.the decision politically motivated. Like Mr Gove, Mr Agnew is a firm
:17:40. > :17:43.believer in the academy system and strong leadership in schools. That
:17:44. > :17:46.goes to the heart of the problem. Good leadership in schools is what
:17:47. > :17:51.tends them around, and that is what I am absolutely focused on in our
:17:52. > :17:55.trust, that we will have really good leaders, and that is what will lift
:17:56. > :17:59.the standards. With the prospect of someone so close to government
:18:00. > :18:03.heading Ofsted, that has not done down well with teachers, and their
:18:04. > :18:07.union said it would oppose his appointment. The appointment of
:18:08. > :18:10.someone like Theodore Agnew raises very serious concerns about how
:18:11. > :18:16.independent Ofsted will continue to be. There are already concerns about
:18:17. > :18:19.how it operates, but to put in someone so closely linked with
:18:20. > :18:22.government really does raise questions about whether it cannot
:18:23. > :18:26.break effectively in an independent manner. So far, Mr Agnew has not
:18:27. > :18:30.commented on the speculation about the Ofsted role, but for many, his
:18:31. > :18:32.closeness to Mr Gove and his conservative credentials mean he is
:18:33. > :18:36.very much a front runner. Right, let's have a look at the
:18:37. > :18:39.sport. If you watched the rugby this weekend, you will know the name of
:18:40. > :18:43.Luther Burrell. Yes, the Northampton centre played a starring role in the
:18:44. > :18:46.Six Nations epic in Paris. Watching the game for us was Tom Williams.
:18:47. > :18:50.Indeed. As debuts go, it was a heartbreaking
:18:51. > :18:52.one for Northampton Saints' Luther Burrell, in the Six Nations on
:18:53. > :18:55.Saturday. He's received widespread praise helping England launch an
:18:56. > :18:59.astonishing comeback from 16`3 down, scoring under the posts, only to be
:19:00. > :19:10.cruelly denied as France scored the match`winning try, two minutes from
:19:11. > :19:13.time. From cold nights playing for Rotherham at Sedgley Park to an
:19:14. > :19:18.England debut in the Calder another Stade de France. Luther Burrell's
:19:19. > :19:22.rise to the red Rose has attracted plenty of headlines, but there was
:19:23. > :19:29.no room for romance in Paris. The French flair was back. England were
:19:30. > :19:33.in trouble. At half`time, it couldn't come soon enough. Luther
:19:34. > :19:36.regrouped alongside his team`mates, and within minutes, he was living
:19:37. > :19:39.the dream, running under the posts to give England and unlike the
:19:40. > :19:44.lead. Few had heard of Luther Burrell when he signed a few years
:19:45. > :19:46.ago. He failed to secure a premiership first`team place, and
:19:47. > :19:51.had even been loaned out to championship clubs, but the Saints
:19:52. > :19:54.thought he was worth something. It proved a wise investment. Watching
:19:55. > :19:59.back home, a former team`mate who had watched England beat the French
:20:00. > :20:04.during the 90s. He was one of many impressed by his turnaround in
:20:05. > :20:07.fortunes. He did what has he has been doing well all season. He took
:20:08. > :20:12.the ball, had a great physical presence, did not look fazed at all.
:20:13. > :20:16.I have no doubt this will be his only cap. Sadly, the dream was not
:20:17. > :20:20.to last. A late change saw him move to the wing, and England took
:20:21. > :20:24.advantage of the defensive confusion. It was a cruel and to an
:20:25. > :20:27.unforgiving match. We are in that game, we have a few phases together,
:20:28. > :20:32.we played well, we made a couple of errors, we didn't go off to the gate
:20:33. > :20:35.is the start, but we are very disappointed. On the flip side,
:20:36. > :20:39.France were fantastic. They really came at us, and fair play to them
:20:40. > :20:45.for getting a try at the end. It just shows you can't shut off before
:20:46. > :20:46.80 minutes. A frenetic finish to a memorable match, but an unlucky
:20:47. > :20:50.loser. Now to football, and Norwich, along
:20:51. > :20:53.with Newcastle, have been charged by the FA for failing to control their
:20:54. > :20:56.players during last week's Premier League match. Bradley Johnson and
:20:57. > :20:59.Loic Remy were both sent off after a scuffle involving several players.
:21:00. > :21:04.Johnson's ban was overturned. The clubs have until 6pm on Wednesday to
:21:05. > :21:08.respond to the charge. Now from one scrap to another, and
:21:09. > :21:11.City's fight for survival. The bare facts make pretty grim reading. In
:21:12. > :21:18.24 league games, Norwich have scored 19 times ` less than a goal a game.
:21:19. > :21:22.They've failed to score at all on nine occasions. In the two games
:21:23. > :21:29.against Cardiff this season, they've had a whopping 58 shots, scoring
:21:30. > :21:32.just once. 27 of those efforts came at Cardiff on Saturday, with Robert
:21:33. > :21:36.Snodgrass scoring after just five minutes but in just 80 seconds after
:21:37. > :21:38.the break, the home side turned the game on its head.
:21:39. > :21:42.just once. 27 of those efforts came at Craig Bellamy with the first.
:21:43. > :21:45.Kenwyne Jones made it 2`1. Norwich came agonisingly close to snatching
:21:46. > :21:50.a deserved equaliser but defeat means they've slipped to 15th, with
:21:51. > :22:01.just one win in nine. Two points clear of the drop zone. I don't
:22:02. > :22:03.think you could fall to our efforts in trying to get back in the game
:22:04. > :22:04.and think you could fall to our efforts
:22:05. > :22:06.in trying to get back in trying to get that equaliser and possibly a
:22:07. > :22:12.winner. Their goalkeeper had a good day, but if we make mistakes like we
:22:13. > :22:14.did, we have got to be scoring goals, and we are finding that at
:22:15. > :22:17.moment. The transfer window might have
:22:18. > :22:20.closed but many of our teams with smaller budgets are counting the
:22:21. > :22:23.days before the loan window re`opens. MK Dons need a new striker
:22:24. > :22:26.after going 324 minutes without a goal. They've lost their last three
:22:27. > :22:31.games including Saturday's 1`0 defeat against Tranmere. The
:22:32. > :22:36.manager's desperate for more firepower in a bid to make the
:22:37. > :22:39.play`offs. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy praised
:22:40. > :22:42.David McGoldrick after he scored the only goal in Saturday's win over
:22:43. > :22:46.Bolton. The striker converted a penalty ` his 15th of the season `
:22:47. > :22:49.keeping Ipswich in the Championship play`off race.
:22:50. > :22:53.And Paula Radcliffe is targeting one final appearance at the London
:22:54. > :22:56.Marathon. She's 40 now. The Bedford runner withdrew from the London
:22:57. > :22:59.Olympics because of injury but she says she probably only ask her foot
:23:00. > :23:06.to do one more marathon, which she hopes might be London next year.
:23:07. > :23:09.For more sport go to the website, where there's reaction to Chris
:23:10. > :23:18.Wilder's first point as Northampton boss, plus a list of all this week's
:23:19. > :23:22.fixtures. Thank you very much. The breakfast
:23:23. > :23:25.show on BBC Essex has a new presenter. James Whale has taken
:23:26. > :23:29.over from Ray Clark, who's moved to an afternoon slot. He has worked in
:23:30. > :23:32.radio and television for 40 years, including spells at LBC and Talk
:23:33. > :23:39.Radio. He says he's delighted with his new role at BBC Essex. When you
:23:40. > :23:43.come on the breakfast show the day is new. It is a new Day dawning, and
:23:44. > :23:47.I get to deliver the latest news, talk to the people who are making
:23:48. > :23:51.the news, usually before anyone else, and you will hear them here
:23:52. > :23:56.first on BBC Essex. And now, the weather.
:23:57. > :24:00.Thank you. It hasn't been a bad day. Plus three times, with the
:24:01. > :24:05.winds gusting. But a great deal of sunshine, especially in the east.
:24:06. > :24:09.More cloud in the West, as the weather front moves slowly towards
:24:10. > :24:12.us, but it still has a way to go. We start fine and dry with some clear
:24:13. > :24:16.spells, but eventually that pushes in from the West. Most of it light
:24:17. > :24:21.and patchy, though we cannot rule out the odd heavy burst. Behind
:24:22. > :24:25.that, dry skies with some clear spells, and under the clear skies,
:24:26. > :24:28.the lowest temperatures later on in the night towards dawn, possibly
:24:29. > :24:33.down to two Celsius or even lower in some spots. The potential for icy
:24:34. > :24:40.patches for some of us and a bit of frost, but not everywhere. The rain
:24:41. > :24:44.perhaps holds on until first light. Then tomorrow, the weather front
:24:45. > :24:48.pulls away, taking the last of the rain with it. There's the area of
:24:49. > :24:52.low pressure brings some wet and windy weather. More about that in a
:24:53. > :24:58.minute, but tomorrow, the between two systems, and not a bad day.
:24:59. > :25:01.Largely fine and dry. We are likely to see a few showers moving
:25:02. > :25:03.through, but for most of us a dry day with some brightness and
:25:04. > :25:09.sunshine at times. Temperatures not doing too badly, up to around eight
:25:10. > :25:16.Celsius in some places, that is 46 Fahrenheit, so close, it not above
:25:17. > :25:19.average for the time of year. We start with light winds, but by the
:25:20. > :25:23.afternoon, a moderate to fresh southerly, so quite blustery
:25:24. > :25:26.afternoon. Any showers will rattle through quite quickly in the second
:25:27. > :25:31.half of the day. We finished largely fine and dry, give or take one or
:25:32. > :25:35.two showers. But Tuesday night, later on, and into Wednesday
:25:36. > :25:41.morning, we expect some wet and windy weather to arrive. The winds
:25:42. > :25:45.are strong, perhaps gale force at time around the coast, with gusts of
:25:46. > :25:50.around 50 miles an hour. That the moment, the strongest winds are
:25:51. > :25:53.expected during the early hours of Wednesday morning and afternoon.
:25:54. > :25:57.Wednesday of self, as well as the wind I mentioned and rain, it is
:25:58. > :26:00.likely to be heavier, and Babs Jaya slots before some more heavy rain
:26:01. > :26:04.later in the day. A pretty awful day, and one we are watching. More
:26:05. > :26:09.details tomorrow. Hopefully by Thursday, that really wet and windy
:26:10. > :26:14.weather will be out of the way. A quieter day, still quite blustery,
:26:15. > :26:16.but the Windies is to a moderate fresh south`westerly, and Thursday
:26:17. > :26:22.is looking largely fine and dry with just a scattering of showers. Friday
:26:23. > :26:25.is looking dry, lighter winds still, although we are watching an area of
:26:26. > :26:27.low pressure at the moment. It should stay to the south, keeping
:26:28. > :26:33.the rain there. We will keep you posted. Thank you very much.
:26:34. > :26:35.Before we go, a quick mention about tonight's Inside Out.
:26:36. > :26:38.It features a remarkable musician called Nicholas McCarthy from
:26:39. > :26:39.Colchester. Nicholas is a very gifted pianist, even though he only
:26:40. > :26:41.has one hand. called Nicholas McCarthy from
:26:42. > :26:45.Colchester. Nicholas is You can see Inside Out at 7:30. We will leave
:26:46. > :26:49.you now with Nicholas and a piece by Scriabin. From all of us, good
:26:50. > :27:58.night. Goodbye. Why are you staring at me? Just
:27:59. > :27:59.wonder how things grow and grow Why are you staring at me? Just
:28:00. > :28:08.wonder how things grow and grow Yeah, well, mummies and daddies
:28:09. > :28:10.do argue sometimes. Did you hear any other words?
:28:11. > :28:15.Pillock and another word. Can you please stop doing this
:28:16. > :28:24.OK, you can put me down.
