:00:00. > :00:09.In the programme tonight, new concerns over the safety of a cruise
:00:10. > :00:14.ship where a man was killed when a wave crashed through a window.
:00:15. > :00:18.A highway to Hull? Could the M11 be extended north from Cambridge?

:00:26. > :00:26.And the woman from the Ivory Coast who loved this pub so much she
:00:27. > :00:42.bought it. There's more evidence tonight of
:00:43. > :00:47.safety worries on board the cruise ship, where a man from Essex died.
:00:48. > :00:50.James Swinstead was on board the cruise liner Marco Polo when a wave
:00:51. > :00:54.crashed through a window in the dining room during a storm.
:00:55. > :00:57.Following a tip off, Look East has discovered that reports of leaking
:00:58. > :01:02.windows first surfaced two years ago. After safety checks the Marco
:01:03. > :01:10.Polo was allowed to leave on another cruise and tonight she is in Norway.
:01:11. > :01:14.But when she returns to Tilbury next weekend, she will face more
:01:15. > :01:18.inspections. Almost as soon as she stepped
:01:19. > :01:23.ashore, at the end of this ill`fated cruise, the widow of 85`year`old
:01:24. > :01:28.James said she would battle for tighter safety rules. She claimed
:01:29. > :01:31.the Marco Polo on which they had travelled to the users was badly
:01:32. > :01:35.maintained and what happened on Valentine's Day as they were
:01:36. > :01:40.battered at proves safety was compromised. Was there a moment when
:01:41. > :01:43.you and your husband thought this vessel meant to get truly bored or
:01:44. > :01:46.did you think the vessel could make it? Become a we thought we could
:01:47. > :01:50.make it because it was an icebreaker. We also heard that the
:01:51. > :01:55.person who sailed with the captain many times, she said he was very
:01:56. > :01:59.good. So we had faith in that. There are many sites were cruise has
:02:00. > :02:03.injured can post reviews about their experience. This is one of them.
:02:04. > :02:07.They need to be treated with caution because a lot of what goes on here
:02:08. > :02:12.can be anonymous. Have a quick flick through and time and again, this
:02:13. > :02:15.vessel and safety crop. One former passenger said the captain should
:02:16. > :02:23.never have taken the ship out of Tilbury.
:02:24. > :02:45.Here is another. Finally.
:02:46. > :02:50.Shortly after arriving back in Tilbury at the weekend, the Marco
:02:51. > :02:57.Polo was checked and clear to sail into Norway. Her owners say she
:02:58. > :03:00.complies with stringent regulations. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency
:03:01. > :03:04.said past inspections have revealed no defects. It says the vessel will
:03:05. > :03:08.be checked again when she returns to Tilbury on March the 2nd. Helen told
:03:09. > :03:13.us today that she is seeking legal advice and is determined to lobby
:03:14. > :03:16.for tighter safety on cruise ships. Tonight the ship's owners Cruise and
:03:17. > :03:21.Maritime Voyages denied Marco Polo had a poor safety record. Managers
:03:22. > :03:24.confirmed that a previous cruise at Christmas had also suffered adverse
:03:25. > :03:27.weather conditions. Seven passengers had required medical assistance
:03:28. > :03:33.onshore but six had rejoined the cruise. They said... This incident
:03:34. > :03:36.is still under official investigation. It would be
:03:37. > :03:40.inappropriate at this stage to make further comment until the
:03:41. > :03:44.investigation is completed. The Government has floated the idea
:03:45. > :03:49.of extending the M11 motorway north from Cambridge. It's one of the
:03:50. > :03:53.ideas being considered for the next round of funding which would start
:03:54. > :03:56.in 2020. Under the new scheme, the new road would run all the way up to
:03:57. > :03:59.Hull. At the moment, drivers from Norfolk
:04:00. > :04:09.they have to use either the A47 or the A17 which are mostly single
:04:10. > :04:12.carriageway. Dennis knows almost every road in
:04:13. > :04:17.and out of East Anglia. The nearer he is to motorway, the less stressed
:04:18. > :04:21.he is. The worst bit of our job as we go north is the A17. It would
:04:22. > :04:27.probably save of a good half an hour 45 minutes just to get to the A1, I
:04:28. > :04:33.would reckon. Based near King's Lynn, his boss wants 23 drugs on
:04:34. > :04:38.very tight margins. For him, and Mextension cannot come soon enough.
:04:39. > :04:41.If they would come up close to us, it would make a significant
:04:42. > :04:51.difference. Any improvement in the road system, where we are not ``
:04:52. > :04:56.where we are on motorways and proves our fuel economy and journey times
:04:57. > :04:58.and make a difference. A current stretch from London stocks just
:04:59. > :05:01.north of Cambridge. Extending it could see it run into Lincolnshire
:05:02. > :05:05.and all the way up to the Humber Bridge. It is only one idea in the
:05:06. > :05:09.Government's plans for the next round of road funding starting in
:05:10. > :05:17.2020. It is early early days and nothing has been found out. The idea
:05:18. > :05:23.was around when a very young looking Ken Clarke first opened the M11 but
:05:24. > :05:28.extending it was shelved due to cost. Some say it will be a
:05:29. > :05:33.lifeline. I think it will be great. It is a perfect opportunity to
:05:34. > :05:37.improve the economy of East Anglia. It would cost billions of pounds and
:05:38. > :05:43.others say the money would be better spent on local roads. What they
:05:44. > :05:50.really ought to do is concentrate on upgrading the A17, A16 and the A47.
:05:51. > :05:54.Effect on the local debate about the benefits or otherwise of a brand`new
:05:55. > :06:00.motorway, those who study government policies and road spending say it is
:06:01. > :06:05.highly unlikely that an M11 extension will ever be built. This
:06:06. > :06:09.is probably dream on. It is a scheme that many would argue is essential
:06:10. > :06:12.but equally, there are other pressing priorities with the network
:06:13. > :06:17.that needs upgrading. `` Dreamland. It needs sorting out first. This
:06:18. > :06:23.scheme maybe in a few years' time have more of a hearing. The new M11
:06:24. > :06:27.debate is just underway. On one point all agree, key local routes
:06:28. > :06:31.must be upgraded or duelled before they can feed into any new motorway.
:06:32. > :06:34.A man in his twenties has been arrested after a police chase in
:06:35. > :06:37.Suffolk last night. It began in Ipswich just before 10pm last night
:06:38. > :06:41.and ended in the village of Whatfield, some ten miles to the
:06:42. > :06:49.west. Felicity Simper sent this from the village.
:06:50. > :06:54.It was just before 10pm last night people here in what field say about
:06:55. > :06:58.sex or lease cars came here through the village `` half a dozen police
:06:59. > :07:02.cars as well as a helicopter hovering overhead. They were chasing
:07:03. > :07:06.a 23`year`old man who did not stop for him when they tried to get into
:07:07. > :07:09.in Ipswich. That took them right through the centre of this village,
:07:10. > :07:14.much to the surprise of the residents. There were quite a lot of
:07:15. > :07:17.police cars that came down the road very quickly and there were some
:07:18. > :07:23.without their lights on. And then a police helicopter came, shining it's
:07:24. > :07:28.been down at the field. We were looking and trying to work out what
:07:29. > :07:32.it was. They work `` I was checking the news website and there was
:07:33. > :07:36.nothing on. As the chase continued, the man continued up the road and
:07:37. > :07:40.turned off to the right and it was there, in a field, that the police
:07:41. > :07:43.finally caught him after his car ended up in a ditch. He tried to
:07:44. > :07:48.escape on foot but the police went after him and managed to catch him.
:07:49. > :07:52.After that, one local resident told us that he had to help the police
:07:53. > :07:56.because forever police cars had got stuck in the mud. It was a flood of
:07:57. > :08:00.lights, to be honest, when I first got here. We brought up a tractor
:08:01. > :08:05.from our house and navigated here in the dark. Yes, I think there were
:08:06. > :08:08.six police cars and double when we arrived and a little later the
:08:09. > :08:13.recovery truck arrived also. For cars buried it just behind me. And
:08:14. > :08:18.yes, a sea of mud. Fortunately, three of them already has bungee
:08:19. > :08:21.cords from the police officers pre`empting our arrival. The fourth
:08:22. > :08:24.one was a bit more muddy and we had to get underneath and attach a
:08:25. > :08:27.strapless top it was a case of hooking them up, engaging the
:08:28. > :08:33.tractor and towing them out. There was one police officer who almost
:08:34. > :08:38.backed into the tractor when we got onto former grand! The 23`year`old
:08:39. > :08:42.man was wanted on inspection of burglary, possession of cannabis and
:08:43. > :08:51.theft. This evening, he is continuing to be questioned.
:08:52. > :08:53.Tonight, the police have confirmed that no cars were damaged in the
:08:54. > :08:59.incident but they did need help retrieving the vehicle.
:09:00. > :09:04.More than 500 young people in Norwich found jobs in the first year
:09:05. > :09:08.of the into cut youth unemployment. The MP for Norwich North is buying
:09:09. > :09:13.the campaign which was set up a year ago. It is called Norwich For Jobs.
:09:14. > :09:16.The idea is to encourage local businesses to invest in young people
:09:17. > :09:19.to help them develop new skills. The hope is that the number of young
:09:20. > :09:24.unemployed in the city can be halved by the next election. Nearly 100
:09:25. > :09:26.businesses have pledged their support to this campaign. This is
:09:27. > :09:31.what has enabled those young people to go into work for them. My message
:09:32. > :09:34.would be that we would love more businesses to pledge. We need to do
:09:35. > :09:38.the same again in the second year in order to be able to meet the target
:09:39. > :09:41.that we have set and we want the help and support of as many city
:09:42. > :09:43.businesses as possible in doing that.
:09:44. > :09:46.We've had a big reaction to our item last night about the internet
:09:47. > :09:49.drinking craze NekNomination. We heard from Dawn Lister, whose
:09:50. > :10:02.daughter Megan was rushed to the hospital in Southend with alcohol
:10:03. > :10:05.poisoning. He was shaking violently. I could not hold still. Her eyes
:10:06. > :10:10.were rolling back on her head. She was screaming and had heard herself.
:10:11. > :10:13.She lucky. It could have turned any other way. She could have died and
:10:14. > :10:17.lost her life through the amount of alcohol she had drunk. People have
:10:18. > :10:20.died with less alcohol in the system.
:10:21. > :10:23.We had lots of emails and comments on our Facebook page about the
:10:24. > :10:27.subject. Liz St John said, "I was nominated and just didn't do it. I
:10:28. > :10:30.like a drink but in moderation". Jackie Palmer told us, "My uni
:10:31. > :10:33.student son was nominated and decided to do a random act of
:10:34. > :10:38.kindness instead by donating ?20 to cancer research". Carleigh Pomfret
:10:39. > :10:43.says, "I was NekNominated and I did it. It's only the people that go
:10:44. > :10:47.overboard that have made the press. For 99% of people it's just been a
:10:48. > :10:51.bit of fun". Rebekah Tokley thinks it's outrageous we did a feature on
:10:52. > :10:56.it. "This will only draw attention to this awful craze," she said. And
:10:57. > :11:01.this from Margaret Candy. "It is a sick craze. The sooner it stops the
:11:02. > :11:03.better". Thanks to everybody who got in touch.
:11:04. > :11:06.A man is being questioned on suspicion of murder after a
:11:07. > :11:10.26`year`old woman was stabbed at her home. She died earlier today in
:11:11. > :11:14.hospital. She was found at a house in Westcliff just over a week ago. A
:11:15. > :11:17.42`year`old man from Southend has been arrested in connection with the
:11:18. > :11:20.attack. A police officer and two other
:11:21. > :11:24.people has been arrested in Norwich in connection with a fraud
:11:25. > :11:29.investigation. A man and a woman both in their 30s and a second woman
:11:30. > :11:38.in her 50s were arrested yesterday. The police officer has been
:11:39. > :11:41.suspended and released on bail. Fire crews have been dealing with a
:11:42. > :11:45.fire involving 4,000 tonnes of wood chip in the port of Harwich. It
:11:46. > :11:48.broke out early this morning. Crews had to use a digger to create a
:11:49. > :11:56.firebreak. The woodchip pile measured 50 metres by 30 metres.
:11:57. > :12:04.Also coming up: Could you name your Police and Crime
:12:05. > :12:09.Commissioner? Is the new system really working?
:12:10. > :12:14.Also, from 2014 to 1914, a look ahead to look back at the impact of

:12:19. > :12:22.The Six Nations returns tomorrow with England taking on Ireland at
:12:23. > :12:25.Twickenham. But who should be England's hooker?
:12:26. > :12:28.The contenders are both from this region. It's Northampton's bad boy
:12:29. > :12:33.Dylan Hartley versus Tom Youngs, the Norfolk lad who made the grade with
:12:34. > :12:38.the British Lions. James Burridge reports from the England training
:12:39. > :12:46.camp. COMMENTATOR: England make changes.
:12:47. > :12:53.Hartley comes on for Young's. Norfolk's Tom Youngs and another
:12:54. > :12:56.player are battling for one jersey between now and the Rugby World Cup
:12:57. > :13:01.in 2015. The seesaw of form and favour is as clear as ever. Hartley,
:13:02. > :13:06.frankly, is lucky to beat. Last May another moment of madness cost him a
:13:07. > :13:11.Premiership trophy and a Lions jersey. Tom Youngs to be his chance
:13:12. > :13:14.and the glory in a string. Hartley's list of indiscretions, the
:13:15. > :13:20.biting and gouging, was mounting. When the call came from the England
:13:21. > :13:25.head coach, he feared the worst. Instead, they met over a pint in a
:13:26. > :13:31.Northampton prop. He was given one last chance. It shows how quickly
:13:32. > :13:35.things can turn on its head and I am very realistic that you are only one
:13:36. > :13:41.game away from, you know, being back on the bench or, you know, until
:13:42. > :13:46.form. Or, in my case in the past, with a ban or something like that.
:13:47. > :13:50.And you're grateful that you have, like Stewart Lancaster giving you
:13:51. > :13:59.the chance? Yes and obviously Jim at the club. But, you know, I am on a
:14:00. > :14:03.chance here and I like to think I am repaying some of that faith shown in
:14:04. > :14:08.me. Hartley is back in favour partly because of his consistency. Take the
:14:09. > :14:12.line`out for instance. He has thrown 30 times in this year's Six Nations.
:14:13. > :14:19.It has gone wrong just once. Youngs is now the one having to sit and
:14:20. > :14:24.stew. Dylan, for me, his errant the short at the moment. Youngs is
:14:25. > :14:27.desperate to get it back. Tom recognises that Dylan is playing
:14:28. > :14:32.well and will please the porting role from the bench. It is a great
:14:33. > :14:36.position to be in as a national coach to have two players fighting
:14:37. > :14:39.for the shirt. Tom Hall after week for the opportunity when he gets the
:14:40. > :14:43.chance to come on to show what he can do and through injury, form or
:14:44. > :14:47.whatever, he will get the chance again. I have no doubt that when he
:14:48. > :14:51.gets his shot, he will play well. It is nice to know that I have waited a
:14:52. > :14:56.year and I'm getting my shop. Hartley has been on trial and have
:14:57. > :15:00.had his fair share of two relations. He has channelled the intensity and
:15:01. > :15:04.it is serving him well. With terrier like Tom snapping at his heels, it
:15:05. > :15:07.is serving England also. Police and Crime Commissioners
:15:08. > :15:10.across the country have been in the firing line today over a concern
:15:11. > :15:15.they are not talking to the public enough. The first PCCs were elected
:15:16. > :15:19.in November 2012 when only 15% of people turned out to vote.
:15:20. > :15:23.The latest figures concern the police and crime panels, which were
:15:24. > :15:27.set up to hold the commissioners to count. Across the country, BBC News
:15:28. > :15:33.found that only 52 questions have been asked by members of the public
:15:34. > :15:36.at the 280 meetings held so far. In our region, no questions at all had
:15:37. > :15:42.been asked in Bedfordshire, Norfolk or the Thames Valley. In Suffolk, it
:15:43. > :15:45.was just three questions. So what's going on? Earlier today, I asked Tim
:15:46. > :15:48.Passmore, the Suffolk Commissioner, if the figures showed people just
:15:49. > :15:58.weren't engaging with the new system. I do not agree with that.
:15:59. > :16:01.That is one small part of the engagement. If you look at the
:16:02. > :16:05.public engagement sessions we have right across Suffolk, I can assure
:16:06. > :16:11.you that we have had hundreds of questions on our district and
:16:12. > :16:15.panels. I think you're referring to the Police and Crime Panel. They are
:16:16. > :16:19.organised by the County Council. I would like to reassure the list is
:16:20. > :16:23.that the last panel, I was questioned relentlessly for two and
:16:24. > :16:28.a half hours! You must remember that the members of the panel are there
:16:29. > :16:31.to represent the public. I think we are not quite hitting the right
:16:32. > :16:34.target that we see `` when we say there are no questions from the
:16:35. > :16:38.public. How can you convince people that this system is better than what
:16:39. > :16:42.we had before? It is certainly cheaper. It is certainly in Suffolk
:16:43. > :16:46.making for much quicker decision`making. Without being
:16:47. > :16:50.disrespectful to the old police authority, nobody had any idea who
:16:51. > :16:54.they were whatsoever. All I can say is that the huge number of public
:16:55. > :16:58.meetings I go to, I have one tonight and last Wednesday and three more
:16:59. > :17:02.next week, the number of questions and awareness is rising rapidly. We
:17:03. > :17:07.are doing our best with things like social media and Twitter. The
:17:08. > :17:11.website, e`mails, letters. Another statistic you may be interested in,
:17:12. > :17:15.in the first year, we had over 1000 e`mails and letters sent directly to
:17:16. > :17:20.me. The police authority in its last year did not even have 50. We are on
:17:21. > :17:24.an upward trend and have a lot of to do. I am not complacent but we are
:17:25. > :17:27.getting there. Labour says the system is not working. It wants a
:17:28. > :17:32.reformed. Do you think we have another Labour Government that our
:17:33. > :17:36.jobs will be abolished? If you talk to some of the other commissioners,
:17:37. > :17:38.and there are some good people but our labour commissioners, the wind
:17:39. > :17:43.of change is blowing through the Labour Party. They realise that our
:17:44. > :17:46.job is about trust and accountability. Policing spends 12
:17:47. > :17:52.volume pounds per year throughout the UK. What we need is a system for
:17:53. > :17:56.that accountability and transparency. `` ?12 billion. There
:17:57. > :18:03.have been some difficulties nationally in the last year. Part of
:18:04. > :18:06.the role of these commissions is to build trust and confidence in a good
:18:07. > :18:10.and important public service. All next week in Look East, we're
:18:11. > :18:13.looking at how people in this region were affected by the First World
:18:14. > :18:17.War. We'll be starting to tell 100 stories selected to mark 100 years
:18:18. > :18:19.since the outbreak of World War One in 1914.
:18:20. > :18:36.A taster now from Shaun Peel. We begin the week in the trenches as
:18:37. > :18:41.we try to get a sense of the horrors of battle on the Western fronts. The
:18:42. > :18:46.sheer misery of the war they said would be over by Christmas. We take
:18:47. > :18:52.you back to a time when life expectancy for men was 52 and when
:18:53. > :18:55.the school leaving age was 12. But there were many ten`year`old who
:18:56. > :19:01.actually had jobs and it was very unusual for many children to go on
:19:02. > :19:05.to secondary school. We also find out how our region bore the brunt of
:19:06. > :19:08.the German Zeppelin attacks, as bombs rained down from the skies
:19:09. > :19:15.over Britain for the first time ever. This is Zeppelin crashed in
:19:16. > :19:19.the fields of Essex. All of the campers got burned and just left a
:19:20. > :19:27.bit of the piece of the relics, you see. That is aluminium for
:19:28. > :19:30.lightness. As the war raged, we find out how the shoemaking factories in
:19:31. > :19:34.Northamptonshire rose to the challenge of producing 50 million
:19:35. > :19:39.boots for the Allies. If attack from ships in the skies were not enough,
:19:40. > :19:43.what about the ships of the seas? The devastation wreaked upon
:19:44. > :19:51.Lowestoft as German vessels fired bombs on the Suffolk town. They
:19:52. > :19:56.realised what was happening and shouted bombardment, all downstairs
:19:57. > :20:00.now, as you are. Also, the Reverend Richard calls on Bernard van, the
:20:01. > :20:04.only ordained priest to win a Victoria Cross as a serving officer
:20:05. > :20:12.in the British Army. How could a man of God become a man of war? Van is
:20:13. > :20:18.actually killing. He at this point becomes a killing machine. On
:20:19. > :20:21.Friday, the tragedy of the 100 lost boys from a Norfolk school and
:20:22. > :20:26.headmaster who was said to have died from a broken heart. For him
:20:27. > :20:31.particularly, the war was utterly shattering. Extraordinary stories
:20:32. > :20:36.from the war they said would end all wars. World War I at home, all next
:20:37. > :20:43.one on BBC Look East and BBC local radio.
:20:44. > :20:46.And you're going to be in the trenches on Monday night but not the
:20:47. > :20:50.real trenches? Thank goodness for that. They're
:20:51. > :20:53.actually in Suffolk and used in a lot of film sets. You will have seen
:20:54. > :20:58.them in television programmes and movies. I have only seen the
:20:59. > :21:01.photographs but they look very wet and very uncomfortable and it is
:21:02. > :21:06.incredible to think that people spend weeks and months it is going
:21:07. > :21:10.to be fascinating. So that is the series that we will
:21:11. > :21:13.start on Monday, as Susie said. I shall be in the trenches in Suffolk.
:21:14. > :21:17.And our radio stations will also be looking at the First World War next
:21:18. > :21:20.week. Every morning, every breakfast show at 8.15.
:21:21. > :21:23.Now we often hear that the pub trade is having a really tough time at the
:21:24. > :21:27.moment. Around 20 pubs in Britain close every week. But not everybody
:21:28. > :21:30.has been put off. Eunice Wortley comes from the Ivory Coast and when
:21:31. > :21:37.she walked into The Crown at Smallburgh in Norfolk, she just knew
:21:38. > :21:48.she had to buy it. This from Mike Liggins.
:21:49. > :21:52.This is a village on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, a traditional
:21:53. > :21:55.English village with a very traditional English pub. But inside,
:21:56. > :22:06.there is something... Or someone very African.
:22:07. > :22:14.Her name is Younis and she is originally from the Ivory Coast. She
:22:15. > :22:18.met George at the start of 2010 and married him before the year was
:22:19. > :22:30.over. In December last year, they went for a drink in The Crown and
:22:31. > :22:33.Eunice decided she wanted to run it. They started coming but they were
:22:34. > :22:38.wondering if I had to have AIDS or if I bite! She did not, in fact she
:22:39. > :22:44.was lovely. Now, the locals are big fans. It is nice to have someone
:22:45. > :22:48.with a little bit of cultural difference, I think. Have you ever
:22:49. > :22:56.been to the Ivory Coast? No, but it has come to me! When you walk
:22:57. > :23:03.through the door, there is a huge smile which is lovely. Become over
:23:04. > :23:06.and stand with me and chat and families come and dogs and anything.
:23:07. > :23:12.And they are just lovely, lovely locals. But The Crown really is your
:23:13. > :23:17.traditional English pub. There is darts in the back and the snug has
:23:18. > :23:24.not been decorated in donkeys. It is about as far from the Ivory Coast as
:23:25. > :23:29.you can imagine but Eunice does not plan to change it. You would be lots
:23:30. > :23:33.of money to have this done. Lots of money to have chairs made of old
:23:34. > :23:38.barrels. Lots of money to have all of this wood and everything. She
:23:39. > :23:43.might be 3000 miles from home but Eunice is loving the wave of the pub
:23:44. > :23:53.landlady. There is official opening on the 1st of March she is promising
:23:54. > :23:55.African food and locals cannot wait. Issue not just great? Was my
:23:56. > :23:58.wonderful! If you're interested in what the BBC
:23:59. > :24:02.does in this region then you might be interested in joining the BBC's

:24:36. > :24:38.number. Let's have a look at the weather.
:24:39. > :24:42.number. Let's have a look Hello. It has been a pretty lovely
:24:43. > :24:47.day. It might have felt a little bit chilly in the wind, a little cooler
:24:48. > :24:50.and fresher but we reach highs of 10 Celsius in the sunshine and plenty
:24:51. > :24:55.of that threw out the morning. This is our satellite picture of today.
:24:56. > :24:59.We did see a little bit more patchy cloud in the middle afternoon a lot
:25:00. > :25:03.of that has good away. Set a scene for quite a chilly night and there
:25:04. > :25:06.are some showers around as well. I am going to draw your attention to
:25:07. > :25:11.the radar. They are not on our part of the region but creeping into the
:25:12. > :25:14.Western counties. If you live in pieces like the western half of
:25:15. > :25:17.Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and into Hertfordshire, you might catch
:25:18. > :25:21.a showers rate this evening. In fact, the computer is predicting
:25:22. > :25:26.more showers than there may be will be. They will be very isolated. For
:25:27. > :25:29.most of us, it looks like a dry night with long, clear spells. The
:25:30. > :25:34.winds have been quite brisk through this evening. Still some gusts of 30
:25:35. > :25:39.mph but they will continue to ease overnight. With those light winds,
:25:40. > :25:42.temperatures drop close to freezing. For some of us, there will be patchy
:25:43. > :25:47.frost around by the time we get to tomorrow morning. By the end of
:25:48. > :25:51.tonight, a south`westerly wind. The chilly start to the weekend. Out of
:25:52. > :25:55.the two days, Saturday looks like the best. There will be some rain
:25:56. > :25:59.spends sunshine and it will stay mainly dry throughout the day. ``
:26:00. > :26:04.some long spells of sunshine. Sunday will be cloudier and it may mean
:26:05. > :26:08.some light rain or drizzle but the feature of Sunday's weather will be
:26:09. > :26:12.the wind. Very windy expected on Sunday. We will start tomorrow with
:26:13. > :26:15.light winds and plenty of sunshine through the morning. Into the
:26:16. > :26:19.afternoon, was a bit more cloud feeding through into Western
:26:20. > :26:26.counties. `` a little bit more cloud. Highs comfortably claiming to
:26:27. > :26:29.10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit. The wind will be coming from a south`westerly
:26:30. > :26:32.direction and will pick up through the afternoon and into the evening.
:26:33. > :26:36.Increasing amounts of cloud by the end of the day. It may well produce
:26:37. > :26:40.some light rain or drizzle. That is how Sunday ships up. The pressure
:26:41. > :26:43.pattern maker would be dramatic. There will be rain across the
:26:44. > :26:48.western half of the country, but not much for us but a brisk wind. Gusts
:26:49. > :26:52.of around 40 mph or possible and a lot of cloud around on Sunday. The
:26:53. > :26:56.figures across the West, producing some light rain and drizzle not
:26:57. > :26:59.significant amounts. The winds ease little for Monday but there will be
:27:00. > :27:03.some showers, staying pretty unsettled to start next week.
:27:04. > :27:07.Tuesday, little cooler. There will be some showers and windy once more.
:27:08. > :27:11.Thank you very much. Just when you think things are
:27:12. > :27:12.getting better, along comes the forecast! Had a great weekend.
:27:13. > :27:17.Goodbye.
