:00:00. > :00:00.News at 6.00pm. For this evening, it's goodbye are from me, on BBC
:00:00. > :00:00.On Look East tonight: A royal salute to Suffolk.
:00:00. > :00:07.Prince Harry speaks of his affection for the area
:00:08. > :00:22.There is something durable, powerful and magnificent about Suffolk.
:00:23. > :00:24.Hello from Stewart and me. Also tonight:
:00:25. > :00:27.One of Britain's oldest shoemakers is up for sale.
:00:28. > :00:33.Growing concerns over plans to cut fertility treatment in parts
:00:34. > :00:38.Why treat people differently because of where they live? We will end up
:00:39. > :00:39.moving to have children, like we did for good schools.
:00:40. > :00:42.And less than six weeks to go ` final preparations as
:00:43. > :00:55.Prince Harry has been at the Suffolk Show today and has described
:00:56. > :01:00.the people of Suffolk as "durable, powerful and magnificent".
:01:01. > :01:04.The Prince spent most of the day touring the show meeting young
:01:05. > :01:09.In a speech, he said his visit gave him great confidence
:01:10. > :01:13.in the future of farming in the region, and he thanked the people of
:01:14. > :01:16.Suffolk for the welcome and kindness he received while he was based with
:01:17. > :01:31.After all the anticipation, finally, the man they all wanted to see was
:01:32. > :01:35.here. Prince Harry, Guest of honour at the Suffolk show, and walking in
:01:36. > :01:39.the footsteps of his mother, the late Princess of, almost 28 years to
:01:40. > :01:45.the day. The Prince knows Suffolk well, especially its skies, through
:01:46. > :01:49.his training in the Apache helicopter at Wattisham. He was
:01:50. > :01:54.appreciative of local support, but apologetic as well. It is one thing
:01:55. > :01:58.to have experienced such generosity of spirit. It is quite another to
:01:59. > :02:01.have encountered it from people who have had me buzzing over them and
:02:02. > :02:06.their animals at all hours of the day and night. Disturbing the
:02:07. > :02:14.tranquillity of this sublime corner of England. The day started with a
:02:15. > :02:18.visit to a project in Ipswich run by the organisation Inspires Suffolk,
:02:19. > :02:23.which uses education and sport to improve the lives of young people.
:02:24. > :02:26.The Prince was keen to get stuck in. At the showground, everything
:02:27. > :02:28.stopped apart from the odd picnic at the Prince went walkabout, and
:02:29. > :02:33.youngsters were the focus here as well. These children emerged as the
:02:34. > :02:39.winners, of a special farm project will schools.
:02:40. > :02:46.They say the Prince is very handsome. What are you laughing for?
:02:47. > :02:50.Did you think he was handsome? Lovely how he talked to all the
:02:51. > :02:54.children, all three groups. He spoke to all of them very well, and asked
:02:55. > :03:00.them questions, and they seemed to answer him nicely as well. We went
:03:01. > :03:03.crazy about it in class. She kept going, Prince Harry is going to be
:03:04. > :03:09.there! The buzz that has been there all day, the build`up, when he is
:03:10. > :03:12.arriving, we had to do some of it to ourselves, because we were worried
:03:13. > :03:16.about crowd control. But when you can sense that car coming, and
:03:17. > :03:24.people realising he was really arriving, it was like the sun had
:03:25. > :03:28.come out, it was fantastic. You who know East Anglia will
:03:29. > :03:32.understand me when I say that the place gets under your skin. I am
:03:33. > :03:38.completely smitten. My heart lifts whenever I had eased, Suffolk and
:03:39. > :03:41.Norfolk. He saw the mighty Suffolk Punch as symbolic of this county and
:03:42. > :03:46.its people. Magnificent, powerful, and most important of all perhaps,
:03:47. > :03:47.durable. The farming community, he told the crowd, could look to the
:03:48. > :03:51.future with confidence. One of the oldest shoemaking
:03:52. > :03:54.companies in the region is for sale. Start`rite has been in Norwich
:03:55. > :03:57.for more than 200 years. Their customers have included
:03:58. > :03:59.members of the Royal Family. But the company says it now needs
:04:00. > :04:16.new investment to give it a future. Start rite shoes are poor children
:04:17. > :04:19.like Elsie Franklin, who, with her sister and parents was in the
:04:20. > :04:24.factory shop in Norfolk this week, buying school shoes during half
:04:25. > :04:26.term. They are fitted personally for the children, so we are comfortable
:04:27. > :04:31.going home knowing they have shoes that fit well, and it is a local
:04:32. > :04:38.firm that has been here for a long time. In fact, start rite's Norwich
:04:39. > :04:42.roots go back to 1792. It was in the first shoe firms doing chillies
:04:43. > :04:46.factory production. It specialised in children's shoes for 100 years,
:04:47. > :04:49.but despite being eight trusted brand and having the Royal family
:04:50. > :04:53.among its customers, Start`rite's been through a lot of change. Its
:04:54. > :04:58.historic Norwich factory closed in 11 years ago. Reduction moves to
:04:59. > :05:06.India, but the headquarters remained in Norwich. We're looking at Spring
:05:07. > :05:10.2015 sandal range. 100 staff working, including the design and
:05:11. > :05:13.development teams, the current chairman, the eighth generation of
:05:14. > :05:17.his family to run the firm, says the time has come to sell up was not we
:05:18. > :05:23.have adapted and survived for over 200 years now. If we are going to
:05:24. > :05:27.compete and grow our business, we do need some additional expertise, some
:05:28. > :05:32.additional money, perhaps, really to look at international markets on the
:05:33. > :05:35.way we resource our issues as well. Norwich used to have dozens of shoe
:05:36. > :05:41.firms employing tens of thousands of people, but for the few left, it is
:05:42. > :05:46.a time of change. Another firm is in the process of being sold by its
:05:47. > :05:49.chairman to its management team. I am third generation within this
:05:50. > :05:56.business. I have no offspring myself, so I think it is probably
:05:57. > :06:00.time that we looked of the company, and in the same way as other people,
:06:01. > :06:04.planned for the future rather than let it happen to us. Agents are
:06:05. > :06:17.confident start rite can be sold, with is based staying in Norwich.
:06:18. > :06:21.Start rite is a small player, begins large ones like Mikey, clerks, all
:06:22. > :06:25.of whom sell shoes to children. I think there is a feeling that start
:06:26. > :06:29.rite, if it was part of a larger organisation, it could start better.
:06:30. > :06:33.So is this a trend in the footwear industry? Well, there aren't many
:06:34. > :06:36.footwear firms left in Norwich. It used to be a centre for the making
:06:37. > :06:42.of women's shoes in children's shoes. Northampton for men's shoes.
:06:43. > :06:44.But the survivors, if you like, a number of them have gone into
:06:45. > :06:49.partnership with larger organisations. Probably the best
:06:50. > :06:53.example is churches shoes in Northampton, very upmarket men's
:06:54. > :06:57.brand which was brought by Prada 11 years ago. That has worked out quite
:06:58. > :06:59.well, and they have used their financial muscle to get them into
:07:00. > :07:04.foreign export markets, including the far east. Eyes`macro we used to
:07:05. > :07:09.have so many family firms, didn't we? Are they finished? Is at the end
:07:10. > :07:13.of an era? I think when a family firm gets very old, it is sometimes
:07:14. > :07:15.very difficult to manage because the shareholding gets dispersed among
:07:16. > :07:22.many family members, and perhaps they don't even live in the area or
:07:23. > :07:26.have anything to do with the company game to date or have any particular
:07:27. > :07:29.affinity to it, but my understanding in Start`rite's cases that the
:07:30. > :07:34.shareholders are not hell`bent on a sale, and if an outside investor
:07:35. > :07:37.wanted to take a stake in the company, to work alongside existing
:07:38. > :07:39.managements, that is something that they would look at as an alternative
:07:40. > :07:42.to a sale. Thank you. The mothers of two young men who
:07:43. > :07:45.were stabbed to death in Essex have joined a new campaign
:07:46. > :07:49.to get knives off the streets. There's growing concern
:07:50. > :07:51.about the number of stabbings This morning, police launched
:07:52. > :08:02.a new no`questions`asked At Clacton police station, a photo
:08:03. > :08:07.opportunity to publicise the start of a knife amnesty. We are going to
:08:08. > :08:10.provide a secure container, members of the public and deposit knives and
:08:11. > :08:15.other articles they perhaps no longer want safely and securely with
:08:16. > :08:19.the police here in Clacton. This will perhaps reduce knife crime.
:08:20. > :08:22.What's happening here today reflects concern about the sheer number of
:08:23. > :08:26.stabbings. As well as urging people to hand in knives, police saying the
:08:27. > :08:32.will adopt a zero tolerance approach to anyone found carrying a knife
:08:33. > :08:35.illegally on the street. The worry here is that criminals from London
:08:36. > :08:38.target the resort and bring knife crime with them. Last summer, there
:08:39. > :08:45.were no fewer than 70 knife offences will stop at today's launch,
:08:46. > :08:46.Caroline Shearer, on the left, and an Oaks Hodge, the mother of two
:08:47. > :08:52.young victims of knife crime. J young victims of knife crime. J
:08:53. > :08:56.Weston, murdered at a party, and westerly jet, stabbed in the
:08:57. > :09:01.street. Despite the fact it is a number of years since my son was
:09:02. > :09:07.sadly stabbed to death, every time I of another life taken, it takes one
:09:08. > :09:12.back to the actual day it happened and the impact it has, not just as a
:09:13. > :09:17.mother, but throughout the family. As well as that the police station,
:09:18. > :09:20.Caroline Shearer is hoping soon there will be a container for
:09:21. > :09:27.unwanted knives in a public place in Essex. The same as what they have in
:09:28. > :09:34.Suffolk. In Suffolk, they collected 8000 weapons last year. That was in
:09:35. > :09:36.their permanent bins. The police say every night handed and could save a
:09:37. > :09:39.life. A project where community volunteers
:09:40. > :09:42.get paid back for the time they give up has
:09:43. > :09:45.signed`up more than 1,200 members. It's called Time Credits,
:09:46. > :09:48.and for every hour you volunteer, you get a one`hour credit to go
:09:49. > :09:52.swimming, watch local sport or go to It's been up and running in
:09:53. > :10:10.King's Lynn for two years and could Let's just see if you know all the
:10:11. > :10:14.parts. Tina Saunders and Nick Shaw our volunteers at the Purfleet trust
:10:15. > :10:18.Centre in King's Lynn, a charity set up to support homeless people. Now,
:10:19. > :10:26.it does much more. Today, this woman is having an English lesson. A
:10:27. > :10:29.shirt. In return for giving her time, Tina spends her credit at the
:10:30. > :10:34.cinema, but she is planning to go swimming and even get her nails
:10:35. > :10:39.done. I really enjoy working here. It is boosting my confidence a lot,
:10:40. > :10:42.especially talking to people, things like that. I used to be really shy,
:10:43. > :10:50.but I have really come out of my shell since working here. Can I have
:10:51. > :10:54.a cappuccino please? Today, the care minister and North Norfolk MP Norman
:10:55. > :10:58.Lamb came to King's Lynn to see how Time Credits work. This is the copy
:10:59. > :11:06.bar at the council by volunteers, and in two years, they have served
:11:07. > :11:10.6000 cups of copy. Before, I couldn't do this sort of thing,
:11:11. > :11:18.because you had to pay. Going swimming, bowling, cinema, speedway,
:11:19. > :11:23.learning to play football. One hour's volunteering gets you one
:11:24. > :11:26.Time Credits notes to spend. Any of the organisations or businesses
:11:27. > :11:34.signed up to the scheme never take any money in. Of the 1200
:11:35. > :11:39.volunteers, 66% have learned new skills. 64% said their quality of
:11:40. > :11:44.life had improved, and 49% feel more confident. The state can't do this
:11:45. > :11:47.on its own, and if we can collaborate and get more people
:11:48. > :11:51.involved in their community, people who want to help, wants to do
:11:52. > :11:56.something, the great thing is that they get something back as well. It
:11:57. > :12:01.really gives people an opportunity to try out new things, to feel
:12:02. > :12:04.valued for giving time, to go to new places to do activities with their
:12:05. > :12:09.families. Both the earning and the spending. Right now, West Norfolk is
:12:10. > :12:15.the only place in the region to use Time Credits, but there are time to

:12:36. > :12:38.The service is under review as part of a public consultation
:12:39. > :12:42.One proposal is that subsidies for the service could be ended.
:12:43. > :12:45.The move would push the cost per meal to nearly ?5.

:13:29. > :13:30.in this country, about one couple in every seven is
:13:31. > :13:33.having problems with fertility? Many
:13:34. > :13:36.of those couples turn to the NHS for help, but how much they get depends
:13:37. > :13:40.very much on where they live. Earlier this month, the government's
:13:41. > :13:44.health advisers at NICE updated They said that all women under 40
:13:45. > :13:49.who are not pregnant after two years of trying should be offered 3 full
:13:50. > :13:54.cycles of IVF treatment on the NHS. They also suggest that women aged
:13:55. > :14:00.40`42 should receive 1 full cycle. But in some parts of the East,
:14:01. > :14:03.health commissioners say they can't afford both options,
:14:04. > :14:21.and they've decided to fund just two This woman played ?25,000 further
:14:22. > :14:24.IVF treatment 15 years ago. It was not available then on the NHS in
:14:25. > :14:29.Norfolk or Essex, where she lived at the time. The result, Bethany and
:14:30. > :14:33.Tamsin. But it took for IVF attempts before it was successful. Without
:14:34. > :14:38.all four, her twins would not be here. The body has to be used to the
:14:39. > :14:44.medication. Every person is different, so it will often take
:14:45. > :14:48.to, three, or sometimes more attempts. It is a bit of an unfair
:14:49. > :14:52.system. Why treat people differently because of where they live? We will
:14:53. > :14:58.end up moving to have children, just like we moved to go to good schools.
:14:59. > :15:02.3000 IVF treatments are performed across the East each year, costing
:15:03. > :15:06.the NHS ?10 million. There is concern our region will not provide
:15:07. > :15:11.such a high service in future. Commissioning groups in the East are
:15:12. > :15:17.starting to disinvest in fertility treatments, and the strain from the
:15:18. > :15:23.nice guideline, and we are seeing a domino effect, and we are seeing
:15:24. > :15:26.that throughout your region. NICE recommends offering free full cycles
:15:27. > :15:32.of IVF to women under 40. Each one costs around ?3000. These clinical
:15:33. > :15:35.commissioning groups currently meet those guidelines, although some are
:15:36. > :15:40.consulting about what they offer in future. The ones you can see here
:15:41. > :15:45.now are offering one cycle for 40 to 42`year`old, but some say that is at
:15:46. > :15:50.the expense of the under 40s, who will now be offered only two cycles,
:15:51. > :15:58.not three. Finally, in these areas, those under 40, one cycle is being
:15:59. > :16:01.offered. This doctor, a GP and chairman of the North Norfolk
:16:02. > :16:04.clinical commissioning group, says nice guidelines recommended they
:16:05. > :16:07.widen the service, so they are offering a two more patients,
:16:08. > :16:13.spending the same amount of money by reducing the number of attempts. We
:16:14. > :16:17.are successful at a rate of about one in four. Subsequently, the
:16:18. > :16:18.second and third. These are difficult decisions. In an ideal
:16:19. > :16:22.world, we would like to provide a world, we would like to provide a
:16:23. > :16:27.more comprehensive service, but your viewers will be aware that we are
:16:28. > :16:31.constrained with the budgets we have and we have to get the best value
:16:32. > :16:34.out of them. NICE says that if their guidelines aren't followed, it
:16:35. > :16:35.creates variations in treatment, going against the fundamental aims
:16:36. > :16:38.of the NHS. Kate Brian is
:16:39. > :16:40.from the support group Infertility Network, and was in the guideline
:16:41. > :16:43.development group for NICE. Times are tight in the NHS `
:16:44. > :16:58.some people might think this isn't Well, I think it should be a
:16:59. > :17:02.priority. It is very, very difficult for people who can't conceive, and I
:17:03. > :17:06.think it is often underestimated quite how difficult that can be. I
:17:07. > :17:10.know you yourself have been through IVF and you now have children. But
:17:11. > :17:16.what impact did it have on your life? The moment I finally got
:17:17. > :17:20.pregnant, it was as if a grey veil had been lifted, and all of a sudden
:17:21. > :17:23.the world was colourful again. In fertility causes depression. It
:17:24. > :17:28.impacts on every single area of your life, and I think people often
:17:29. > :17:33.underestimate that. So what do you make of the postcode lottery that
:17:34. > :17:37.seems to exist? I think it is really unfair. I think the difficult thing
:17:38. > :17:41.is that fertility funding is really, really easy to cut. Some people
:17:42. > :17:44.suffering from fertility problems don't even tell their closest
:17:45. > :17:48.friends and relatives. They will not be out there with placards, shouting
:17:49. > :17:52.about it, and that is why it is an easy thing to God. That does not
:17:53. > :17:56.make it right or fair. And what do you think of this new advice on
:17:57. > :18:00.women over 40? Because commissioning groups are saying they cannot afford
:18:01. > :18:05.to fund that as well as three cycles for younger women. In reality, it is
:18:06. > :18:09.actually a very small group of women over 40 who would qualify for this,
:18:10. > :18:14.so I think that is not entirely accurate to say that cutting in one
:18:15. > :18:21.area is giving in another. I don't think it is. And as we heard, the
:18:22. > :18:25.success rate is such that one round of IVF is statistically unlikely to
:18:26. > :18:28.make you pregnant. Yes, that is true. That is why you need three
:18:29. > :18:35.cycles. NICE suggests funding for what is clinical and cost effective,
:18:36. > :18:36.and that is why all areas should be following their guidelines. Thank
:18:37. > :18:39.you very much. I'm sure you know by now `
:18:40. > :18:43.the Tour de France is coming to In early July, it will travel
:18:44. > :18:47.through Cambridge into Essex and then on to London, with a big
:18:48. > :18:50.finish outside Buckingham Palace. Ben Bland is in Essex
:18:51. > :19:00.for the very latest on the plans. Yes, preparations are being stepped
:19:01. > :19:04.up to try and build that excitement as we get closer to the big day,

:19:16. > :19:19.road closures, different events going on in the towns and villages,
:19:20. > :19:23.and also suggestions of where to watch the race. When I was walking
:19:24. > :19:27.round Chelmsford this afternoon, it is hard to tell that a huge sporting
:19:28. > :19:32.event is coming to the county. There were no posters, or banners.
:19:33. > :19:36.Admittedly, Cambridge, it is fairly low`key there as well. But there are
:19:37. > :19:41.now flags on the street lamps. There is a banner near the starting line,
:19:42. > :19:44.and there are notices in the car parks telling drivers about road
:19:45. > :19:48.closures and disruption, getting them to plan their journeys ahead of
:19:49. > :19:52.time. When you think about the fuss that Yorkshire made, with fireworks
:19:53. > :19:55.and the like, celebrating their part of the race, I asked the Essex
:19:56. > :20:00.County Council in charge of the plans here why this region doesn't
:20:01. > :20:04.seem to be treating it a little more boldly. Yorkshire made the bed for
:20:05. > :20:10.the race to come to England, and Essex and Cambridge were followers
:20:11. > :20:15.on. And we made a decision on the county council that it shouldn't
:20:16. > :20:19.cost the taxpayer any more money of his or her council tax, so that
:20:20. > :20:23.means that you have to use the budget that you can get from the
:20:24. > :20:27.organisers of the tour. But what about the disruption all of this is
:20:28. > :20:32.going to cause, especially to transport and especially on the
:20:33. > :20:35.roads? Well, we know that some of the road in central Cambridge will
:20:36. > :20:40.be closed from the evening before, so from the Sunday night. Other
:20:41. > :20:45.roads through saffron Walden, Braintree and Chelmsford will close
:20:46. > :20:48.to the morning on the race itself. They are expecting anything up to 1
:20:49. > :20:54.million people to turn out to watch the race through our region. For the
:20:55. > :20:58.really committed fans, East Midlands trains have a announced that they
:20:59. > :21:02.are putting on an extra special train service on the Sunday from
:21:03. > :21:04.Yorkshire to Cambridge for those who want to watch as much of the race as
:21:05. > :21:06.possible. Thank you very much. Since 2010, the gymnast Max
:21:07. > :21:09.Whitlock, who trains in Essex, has It's the best haul in that time
:21:10. > :21:13.by any British gymnast. Last weekend he won two more at the
:21:14. > :21:16.European Championships in Bulgaria. And it sets him up very nicely for
:21:17. > :21:29.the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. We are getting used to seeing this `
:21:30. > :21:32.Max Whitlock on the Golden step after another successful
:21:33. > :21:36.competition. Confirmation that the South Essex gymnast is Britain's
:21:37. > :21:42.number one. I've been training really hard, as long as anyone
:21:43. > :21:48.else, and each competition, I look at the same, go in there, hopefully
:21:49. > :21:53.try to enjoy the experience, and the main piracy is clean routines. His
:21:54. > :21:58.bomb almost routine is now regarded as the most difficult the world has
:21:59. > :22:02.ever seen. His winning score at the European Championships will have won
:22:03. > :22:06.him gold at the London 2012. But what he really wants is to create a
:22:07. > :22:11.new and unique skill, one which will leave his name in the sport's code
:22:12. > :22:15.points forever. I nearly did on the floor, and they nearly did on the
:22:16. > :22:18.rings, but it is very hard. You have to compete in the major
:22:19. > :22:21.championships for it to be credited with your name. It is just about
:22:22. > :22:26.finding it and becoming a bit creative, and that's what I hope to
:22:27. > :22:31.do. And leave your mark in history? Yes, I hope so. To see my name in
:22:32. > :22:35.the code of points would be really nice. This manoeuvre on the floor
:22:36. > :22:38.came close, but it was an extension of another move, not quite a Max
:22:39. > :22:43.Whitlock in the gymnastics Bible. Still, 12 medals in four years has
:22:44. > :22:46.seen him fill the considerable void left by Louis Smith, but does he
:22:47. > :22:50.want the pommel horse pioneer alongside him in the Commonwealth
:22:51. > :22:56.Games squad? And going to put you on the spot. Lewis is here. He also
:22:57. > :23:00.made the Commonwealth game 's team. Would you like to see Alonso during
:23:01. > :23:04.the teamsyes, he is one of the best team`mate is possible, and whoever
:23:05. > :23:08.the selectors pick, I assure you they will make the right decision.
:23:09. > :23:13.We just have to wait and see. Many feel Louis Smith when the England's
:23:14. > :23:17.team, but Max's performances have left the selectors in no doubt.
:23:18. > :23:22.Barring injury, he will be the first name on the team sheet.
:23:23. > :23:24.We are just so blessed in this region with gymnast!
:23:25. > :23:27.I'm sure all of you who have been watching Springwatch will
:23:28. > :23:32.Chris is the only survivor of three cuckoos which were fitted
:23:33. > :23:34.with radio beacons by the British Trust for Ornithology.
:23:35. > :23:39.When the radio signal showed that Chris the cuckoo was in West Africa,
:23:40. > :23:42.his namesake and Springwatch presenter Chris Packham took off
:23:43. > :23:48.Sadly, Chris the cuckoo gave human Chris the slip.
:23:49. > :23:58.But we know from the radio tracker that he's still alive.
:23:59. > :24:04.He went from the Ivory Coast, headed off towards Mauritania up here, like
:24:05. > :24:11.this, and then he went back to Morocco like this, took an easy
:24:12. > :24:15.route through Gibraltar, over into Spain, and then, in another leap,
:24:16. > :24:22.went to northern France, and then came over here into Suffolk. So, we
:24:23. > :24:24.know both prices are now at Minsmere,
:24:25. > :24:27.and tonight we'll find out if the team have been able to get
:24:28. > :24:35.we know the bird has been transmitting from here.
:24:36. > :24:37.Yes. And we will call it using your gadgeteer. It is the moment of truth
:24:38. > :24:52.than. I've got it! I've got it! It is just
:24:53. > :25:00.sat up there, giving is a fabulous view. It is off. A big question, of
:25:01. > :25:05.course, is is that Chris, or is it just any old coq?
:25:06. > :25:08.It is nice to know he likes Suffolk so much.
:25:09. > :25:12.Yes, it is a long way to come back! Yes, but he did take the easy
:25:13. > :25:15.route. Find out in Springwatch tonight. And
:25:16. > :25:19.now, the weather. Thank you. Another day and the
:25:20. > :25:23.fluids of low pressure, so we have had cloudy conditions across the
:25:24. > :25:27.region. For most of us, although some have seen some sunshine. Places
:25:28. > :25:31.like Norfolk, they have really lot of low cloud, some light rain and
:25:32. > :25:36.drizzle. Across southern counties, some breaks in the cloud, some
:25:37. > :25:39.sunshine breaking through. We also saw some showers developing across
:25:40. > :25:43.those Southern counties, and they really were quite heavy and slow
:25:44. > :25:46.moving. They have not quite disappeared just yet. They are
:25:47. > :25:50.around parts of Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. Heading westwards, we
:25:51. > :25:54.also have some showers getting into the Norfolk coast as well. They may
:25:55. > :25:58.creep a little bit further down towards Suffolk. It is not entirely
:25:59. > :26:02.dry everywhere overnight tonight, but it will become so, and by the
:26:03. > :26:06.end of the night, it looks largely dry and a bit misty in places as
:26:07. > :26:10.well, but not a particularly cold night. Temperatures have been
:26:11. > :26:14.similar over the last few days. Between ten and 12 Celsius for most
:26:15. > :26:19.of us. Some may get down into single figures, perhaps eight or 9 degrees.
:26:20. > :26:23.Like East or north`easterly winds. Tomorrow, a mainly dry day. Maybe a
:26:24. > :26:28.few spots of rain first thing. Rather cloudy throughout much of the
:26:29. > :26:31.day, but brighter spells, particularly for coastal parts. You
:26:32. > :26:35.might just see a few spots of rain first thing. It may remain quite
:26:36. > :26:40.overcast for inland areas, and there is a risk of one or two light
:26:41. > :26:44.showers, but across the coast, we will start to see the sunshine
:26:45. > :26:48.coming out. With an easterly wind, it will remain cool on the coast,
:26:49. > :26:52.highs of around 14 Celsius. The inland, highs of around 17 degrees.
:26:53. > :26:56.For the afternoon, a better prospect, with everything
:26:57. > :27:00.brightening up, particularly across the South. Then you are probably
:27:01. > :27:04.wondering about the weekend dustup a ridge of high pressure starts to
:27:05. > :27:08.build, which is good news. A southerly wind starts to warm things
:27:09. > :27:13.up. But this is our next system approaching. It probably won't reach
:27:14. > :27:18.us until later on Sunday. So we have a reasonable day for Saturday, sunny
:27:19. > :27:22.spells, warmer at 21 degrees, but by Sunday, it is expected to cloud over
:27:23. > :27:26.later, which might bring a few showers. Next week, it returns to
:27:27. > :27:34.unsettled conditions. Our barometer reading tonight on the bottom of the
:27:35. > :27:38.chart, 1017 millibars. 30.03 inches. Thank you very much. I got so
:27:39. > :27:42.excited about the coq, I nearly hyperventilated!
:27:43. > :27:44.That is all from us tonight. Goodbye.
