Thank you. That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
In Look East tonight, the woman lucky to be alive, after driving the | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
wrong way down the A11 at more than 50 miles an hour. Hello and welcome | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
to the programme. Also tonight. How old is too old to be an MP? The | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
Essex Tory planning on fighting his 10th election at the age of 77. This | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
busy in Cambridgeshire dedicated to Oliver Cromwell is threatened with | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
closure due to council cuts. So can a museum 100 miles away in Norfolk | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
provide them with any tips for survival? And how the Mr and Mrs of | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
Badminton cleaned up at the National Championships. | :00:48. | :01:00. | |
First tonight, the frightening moment when drivers found themselves | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
facing a car driving the wrong way down the fast lane of the A11 at 50 | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
miles an hour. The driver came off the M11 heading north on the A11. | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
Things started to go wrong when she took the first exit at Stumps Cross. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Somehow she rejoined the A11 still heading north but on the southbound | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
carriageway. She was now going the wrong way in the outside lane | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
heading towards Newmarket at 50 miles an hour. Cambridgeshire Police | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
did their best to warn other drivers before setting up a road block with | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
a number of police cars right up here, near junction 37. The woman | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
stopped with just inches to spare. Simon Newton is on the A14 now, | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
Simon. When you look at this rush hour traffic it does not bear | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
thinking about what could have have moved yesterday, with this | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
81`year`old woman driving towards Newmarket on the westbound | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
carriageway in the fast lane for 15 miles. It was only the bravery and | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
expertise of two police officers that what her to a halt. Sunday | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
afternoon on the A14 near is. Just across the barrier, they spot an | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
elderly lady doing the same, only problem, she is on the wrong | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
carriageway, heading straight towards incoming vehicles. Porn | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
filmed this footage from the passenger seat. Cambridgeshire | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
police were flooded with 999 calls. These two police officers were | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
scrambled to stop the woman before she and anyone else was injured. We | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
managed to slow down the traffic that was heading towards us so that | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
they were safe and protected behind us, then we caused her to stop on | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
the A14. This is the police footage of what happened next. With the road | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
clear and a rolling road block in place, Ian and Chris put their own | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
car and the path of the oncoming vehicle. She was not making any | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
attempt to slow down up until this point here. It was a fairly nervous | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
time, to be honest. We were potentially going to deliberately | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
crashed into her to bring her to a stop. Fortunately, she stopped and | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
then she was about 40 centimetres from us. She was very concerned that | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
she had been driving the wrong way, she had tried to make up tents to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
come off the A14 and the A11, but had been unsuccessful, and we | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
stopped her, . The woman is 81 and from Telford in Essex. She said she | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
tried to get off the road several times without success. Police said | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
she was suffering from mental health problems and was later returned | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
safely home. She will not be prosecuted. Potentially, these | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
officers would have had to create a collision to stop this lady. It | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
ended with everyone's sake. In 2009 five people died on the M1 when a | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Polish registered car had them. A road worker has been hit on the A1 | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
by abandoning the wrong way. We say this woman will not be prosecuted | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
but the DVLA may well revoke the licence. A steel frame which killed | :04:15. | :04:26. | |
four men in a an industrial accident collapsed like "a picnic table", an | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
inquest has heard. The four men were working at Claxton Engineering in | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Great Yarmouth in 2011. Two brothers, Daniel and Tom Hazelton, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
died at the scene along with Peter Johnson and Adam Taylor. On a wet | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
morning the families and friends of the men arrived, hoping for answers. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Peter Johnson, the Middleton, and Tom 's brother Daniel were killed at | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Claxton Engineering in January 2011. A steel cage they were working on | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
collapsed and all four men died of asphyxia due to trauma. The families | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
hope to finally get some answers to their questions this week. It will | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
be very emotional for them. They have waited a long time to get here | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
and they will be hearing for the first time some of the evidence | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
directly from those involved in the incident. The inquest jury heard | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
that Claxton Engineering was building a high`pressure test | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
facility which needed a concrete bench 23 metres long. The four | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
member working in a steel cage to provide reinforcement for the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
concrete. Jonathan Elfyn and the red tie for the health and safety | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
executive described how the steel frame did what he called a racking | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
movement. It collapsed like a pic table, he said. The weight of the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
cage around the men was taught to be around 13 tonnes. Also giving | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
evidence was Mark alien, the project manager for Claxton Engineering. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Questioned by the coroner, he told the jury he was worried that the men | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
were not using hard hats safety goggles. But in cross examination, | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
the barrister representing the families raised questions about his | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
confidence. He said, he was not a project manager at all, he was only | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
there to liaise between the different contractors. The inquest | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
is expected to last until the end of the week. | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
Flood`hit villagers in Essex are worried their homes are still at | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
risk if there's more bad weather. Several properties in Newport, near | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Saffron Walden, were affected when a swollen stream burst its banks. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Meanwhile, Essex County Council says it's making ?1 million available to | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
tackle flooded roads. Abbie Stewart is making sure all the valuables are | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
safe from any more floods, even the sofas art on bricks. We cannot move | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
them so we thought it would be best to put them up so that the water | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
comes in the would be less damage, because the ice going to be a lot of | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
rain coming in, but if it rises any further than it does we going to be | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
in trouble. Everything that is vital has been cleared up, upstairs. | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
Fingers crossed, then. Yes, exactly. We are trying to stop the flooding | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
by putting things up with bricks. Abbey took this footage on her | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
mobile phone on Friday when water swamped the garden. A few doors up | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
the road, Nicola Benson looks back on the photos she took when water | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
flooded her brand`new kitchen. Got in through the back goals and it was | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
probably up to four inches in certain areas. And what was it like | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
for you to see that in your new kitchen? It was soul destroying. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Meanwhile, as stranded drivers continue to be rescued, the County | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Council is going to spend ?1 million tackling flood hit roads. We should | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
be doing something now and that is why we have introduced this ?1 | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
million to help highways deal with any flooded areas that are hotspots, | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
wet spots, whatever you want to call them. Back in Newport, sandbags are | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
in place, and villagers are hoping that the forecast heavy rain does | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
not mean more floods. Another of our long standing MPs is facing | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
questions about his future. The Conservative Association in Saffron | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Waldon will decide on Thursday if Sir Alan Haselhurst will be their | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
candidate at the next election. By then he will be 77, and facing his | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
tenth election. For the last 36 years, Sir Alan Haselhurst has | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
represented saffron Borden. He has been returned as its MP with | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
ever`increasing majorities. Unlike his colleague, Tim Yeo nobody | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
complains about him being a bad local MP. He has campaigned against | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
a second runway at Stansted and is fighting for improvers to the West | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Anglia rail line. This is about his age. As you become too old to serve | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
his constituents? Age has nothing to do with that, if he is good enough. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
If he serves the community I would not be at all bothered. People in | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
their 80s can do a good job. My husband retired at 60. Why do we | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
need a younger person? No one in the party is speaking publicly about | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
this but I understand that one or two people in the local association | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
are questioning whether, at the age of 76, it is time for Sir Alan | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Haselhurst to retire. He has told his local newspaper, I cannot deny | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
the age I am. The age of MPs has become something | :09:45. | :09:59. | |
of an issue at Westminster. The 2010 intake brought in a large number of | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
young members. The Labour MP Austin Mitchell recently complained that | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
older MPs were becoming an endangered species. At 82, the | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
Lincolnshire MP Sir Peter Tatchell is the oldest in Parliament, but | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Luton's Kelvin Hopkins will be 73 at the next election and Peter Lilley | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
will be 71. Sir Alan Haselhurst told friends he hopes his party will back | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
him on Thursday, because he still wants to do the job and believes he | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
has a lot to offer. Another of the Old Guard is Sir Bob Russell, the MP | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
for Colchester. He will be 69 come the 2015 election. Earlier he told | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
me that his age is an asset, and he outpaces people 40 years younger | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
than him. It is almost like a professional midfield footballer who | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
gets well into his late 30s because he paces himself. I will not say | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
that I am the Ryan Giggs of politics, I wouldn't dream of saying | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
that, but there is an element of comparison then, that you use your | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
age to your best use, and you pace yourself accordingly. You are a | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
youthful 60`something. Can you imagine still doing this job in your | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
80s? It depends what my health is like. At the moment it is fine, I | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
believe. We have an medical MOT at the House of Commons every other | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
year, if you want to take it up, and I have sailed through that. And my | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
average week is an 80 hour week. But I have got a good team around me | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
making sure that I am in the right place at the right time, and I am | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
fine, and it is not a problem. MPs like yourself started being an MP | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
later, coming into the Commons at an old age. Does it worry you, the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
trend towards younger MPs? Heavens, yes. The three party leaders are | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
much of a muchness. The culture of youth is not what it is all about. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
In China, I would we a young person, because their leaders are much | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
older. I think you need the balance and, through the centuries, older | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
people have tended to be the leaders. Winston Churchill was a | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
classic, in the Second World War. Not so good as a peacetime leader | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
but a great wartime leader. Age is very important. We're going through | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
a spasm in British political life, where are political leaders are all | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
young people, but there was a time and place for older people, and I am | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
pleased to say that I am still firing on all cylinders and, for as | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
long as my electric pushes me to continue, I will continue. `` my | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
electorate. Still to come, our British forces | :12:44. | :12:58. | |
ending up in `` British horses ending up in the European abattoirs? | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
And the players from our region who triumphed at the National Badminton | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
Championships in MK at the weekend. The future of the Oliver Cromwell | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Museum in Huntingdon is in doubt tonight, despite a petition with | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
3,000 signatures being handed in to the County Council in | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Cambridgeshire. The Council says it can't afford to keep the museum | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
open. But campaigners say Oliver Cromwell is a hugely significant | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
local figure. In a moment, Kim Riley on how another local museum for | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
another local hero is battling with similar problems. But first Emma | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
Baugh reports. Battle lines drawn. At Naseby, Cromwell defeats the | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
king, but now for a fight he might not win. Today, campaigners in their | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
key battle, making the case for his museum. The problem is, we | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
contribute to the economy of the town and area by drawing in | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
visitors, because of the location of the museum in Huntingdon. One of the | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
key aims of the council is to promote the local economy and that | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
is exactly what the museum does. This hat is something Cromwell is | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
supposed to have worn when he dismissed the Long Parliament. Set | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
in a small space, Cromwell's all school, but it is the largest | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
collection in the world. Most people are impressed by how much we have, | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
and not just how much but the quality of it, so some of the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
objects here are pieces which were almost certainly gifts of Cromwell | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
when he was Lord protector, and true international importance. When was | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
the last time you went to the museum? Never. I don't know where it | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
is. It is behind you. Is it? I went 20 years ago. I know that it is in | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
danger, isn't it, of closing? The County Council have given a | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
statement saying that they welcome the petition and will assess it at | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
their full council meeting. They say that they will continue to work with | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
brains of the museum about the alternative management of it and | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
hope that the interest shown locally will help them to achieve that goal. | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Closing the museum will save the council ?20,000 per year, but | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
campaigners say that the collection could then be broken up for ever. So | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
how do you turn a local museum around? Last year the Nelson Museum | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
in Great Yarmouth found itself in a very similar situation. They did get | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
a bail out from the local council but with strings very much attached. | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Here's our Chief Reporter Kim Riley. The museum dedicated to Norfolk's | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
local hero almost went under after building up losses of thousands of | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
pounds a year, but unlike Huntingdon, after a plea to the | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
local Borough Council, it agreed to underwrite losses for five years, | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
but the museum must then be able to pay its way. It easier stick team of | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
volunteers have been working on a major revamp, aimed at attracting | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
more visitors, with a new cafe and shop, and the focus on Nelson's | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
scandalous love life. He was a very popular chap. He was England's first | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
big celebrity. He was bigger than David Beckham. He was hugely famous | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
internationally. There are monuments all round the world to him, just | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
where he disembarked from a ship. He is the great man himself, sitting at | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
a table in his cabin during the Battle of the Nile. It is rather an | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
incredible likeness. His eyes for you around as you walk around the | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
table. This is the bicorn hat, replica of the one that he used to | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
wear. You're probably thinking that he can carry it off, but I can't. | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
Volunteer Kerry Robinson helped win the new pledge from the council. We | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
felt that this place needed to stay here, it is part of the heritage of | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Yarmouth, and the council are very receptive to that. We're saying to | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
people, come and support the Nelson Museum. There is plenty for | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
children, a flavour of life below decks, and a chance to walk the | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
plank. In the rise of the volunteers, he was a Norfolk man | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
through and through. `` the words of the volunteers. A year after the | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
horse meat scandal, a charity in Norfolk says horses and ponies from | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
the UK may still be ending up illegally in abattoirs in Europe. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
World Horse Welfare has spent months investigating whether a policy which | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
allows some horses to be exported easily is being abused. David | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
Whiteley followed their investigation for Inside Out. It is | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
one year since the horse meat scandal broke. The summit was a | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
shock that an animal which in this country is seen as a companion could | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
end up in our food. We have discovered this murky trade in low | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
value equines across Europe. It is not only a matter for equine | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
welfare, it is a huge problem for equine health, and as you will see | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
in relation to the food industry, it is an issue for human health, as | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
well. It is August and over a weekend period at Dover, there are | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
horses and ponies being taken to the continent on the ferries, being | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
watched by a Norfolk charity. That one at has just come through... The | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
charity World Horse Welfare has spent months trying to get to the | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
bottom of what happens to be is horses once they are shipped abroad. | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Under an agreement with France, Ireland and the UK, sports horses | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
can be moved freely. Low value ponies like this are certainly not | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
covered by the agreement. World Horse Welfare believes some traders | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
are abusing the law and exporting ponies and avoiding health, welfare | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
cheques and other paperwork. At the time of the horse meat scandal, the | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Government said there was no evidence of horses and ponies being | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
transported abroad for human consumption and, if there was, then | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
surveillance at ports would pick this up, but this investigation has | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
found that in most cases, these checks are not happening. The | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
charity believes that live horses are being taken to the continent | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
without any health checks or even the basic standards of welfare, and | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
that this is going on under the radar. Animal health officers can | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
and will undertake stringent checks at ports, where there are good | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
grounds to believe that those being breached, which may represent a risk | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
to the health and welfare of horses. Defra says it is tightening up the | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
rules on horse exports from May. You can see the full story in Inside | :20:02. | :20:19. | |
Out at 7:30pm on BBC One. The last time Norwich played Manchester City | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
there were seven goals, and Manchester City got all of them. | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
Many predicted a similar scoreline in the return game at Carrow Road on | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Saturday. But this time it ended goalless. The Norwich manager Chris | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
Hughton hailed his team's "spirited performance" but said he felt they | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
could have sneaked all three points. A really important point for | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Norwich, and unlike the and improbable point. But not | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
undeserved, arguably, a game they could have one, against one of the | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
most expensively assembled teams in the world, Norwich proved that a | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
little spirit and determination can match players with heightened | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
reputations and lofty ambitions. They carved out better chances, with | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
Nathan Redmond and then Gary Hooper, whose effort was ruled out. In the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
closing minutes, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel just needed a touch, and | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
Pilkington, little composure. After a seven ` zero defeat at the Etihad | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Stadium in November, this was an unexpected point, but it could be | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
all important at the end of the season. It was a brilliant | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
performance Monday stifled Manchester City, and did not let | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
them play. It could be a turning point. It will get the fans back | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
little bit. Did the manager need that performance and result? He | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
probably needs a result every week. He's under a lot of pressure. A big | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
game coming up against West Ham, fans are nervous about that. That | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
will be much more potent to survival. Norwich in fact fell one | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
place in the league, making tomorrow's trip to West Ham, not | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
just above them, vital. We had some good opportunities to score, and | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
certainly had far more in the Cardiff game away from home, so it | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
is most definitely an endeavour from us to try and score. We have just | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
got to find the right formula. 19 goals in 25 games, not a recipe for | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
success also vital. It is up to him to find the winning ingredient. `` | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
success or survival. The best badminton players in England battled | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
it out for the crown of national champions this weekend and for the | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
first time it was being held in Milton Keynes. There were five | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
honours up for grabs. And three of the five were won by a married | :22:44. | :22:55. | |
couple, Gabby and Chris Adcock. With top names and national titles at | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
stake, the rallies were long, until someone blinked. Gabby Adcock | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
completed her first bit of business firing Lawrence with the success | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
with a fifth straight win in the event. Very happy that we won that | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
match. It was my fifth title, so I wanted to really get it, and we | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
played well in the first set. The game started well. Up next, her | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
husband Chris, partnering Andrew Ellis. The world 's fastest racket | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
sport showing is more delicate side. The competition was being staged at | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
the first time in Northern Keynes, in the arena at Ashton Stadium MK. I | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
am very pleased. This was a tough opponent. I trained with her for | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
four years. So it was quite tough. Walker and the English team`mates | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
have left Switzerland to take part in the European team Championships. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Also on the plane, another MK resident, winning his seventh | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
straight title, swatting away the challenge against Sarah Parsons. | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
Hopefully in a couple of years time, we can show the same form. | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
Gabby and Chris Adcock reclaimed the mixed doubles title they lost last | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
year. I thought we were in control for much of the game. They are good | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
players, number 16 in the world from a reason, but we played our game and | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
dealt with what they brought us quite well. Gabby and Chris Adcock | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
remain Badminton's top couple. They hope that you thousand and 14 will | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
be a special year. It certainly started well. `` 2014. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
Lots to talk about. We had a band of showers moving up into the North | :24:49. | :25:02. | |
Sea, and this band moving in behind, producing thundery downpours over | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
the next few hours. Behind it, dry and clear, and underneath these | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
clear skies temperatures fallen to around two Celsis, and in rural | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
spots, down to around freezing, so there could be forced and icing | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
places. `` frost and ice. Tomorrow, a wet `` weather front pushing in | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
from the west bringing wet and windy weather. This rain is likely to be | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
heavy at times. Given on by fresh to strong southerly winds, perhaps gale | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
force at times around the coast. That should clear by 2pm, with the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
winds easing, but it will still feel blustery, and chilly with high | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
temperatures of six Celsius. If anything, through the afternoon, it | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
will be called behind, then we have some showers. Especially through the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
evening and overnight, some of these showers could fall as snow, giving a | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
covering of two centimetres in places. It will not be for | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
everybody, some of it will fall as rain, but there is definitely the | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
chance of a couple of centimetres of snow in places. Heading into wet, we | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
start to see milder air coming in. A dry start with a moderate to fresh | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
south`west of wind, picking up through the morning, to a strong | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
southerly, and then we see rain pushing in around mid`morning, and | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
again some of that will be on the heavy side. Wet and windy during | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
Wednesday, then on Thursday, a blustery south`westerly wind with a | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
scattering of showers. And on Friday we do it all again, by mid`morning, | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
another system bringing in more heavy rain and those south`westerly | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
winds again picking up, reaching gale force at times round the coast. | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
Between now and the end of Friday, up to two inches of rain, not great | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
news with the saturated ground we have got. And some cold nights, two, | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
we could see some frost and sheltered spots. | :27:17. | :27:19. |
