Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight, the | :00:09. | :00:21. | |
remarkable story of a rescue team who | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
MPs go on the attack over plans to charge drivers to use the A 14. | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
A big fall in unemployment. The East now has the lowest jobless figure in | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
the UK. And it is official ` Fenland celery | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
joins the ranks of champagne and Melton Mowbray pork pies. | :00:41. | :00:55. | |
First tonight, the Cambridge surgeons who carried out life`saving | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
surgery at the top of a crane. They were part of a rescue team who were | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
flown to Tilbury in Essex when an engineer caught his leg in the | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
winding gears, 100 feet up in the air. After six hours of surgery the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
man was freed and airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital. We can join | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
our reporter at Addenbrooke's. Ben. The man involved in this incident is | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
being treated here at Addenbrooke's this evening. His ordeal an | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
incredibly traumatic one. As you say, he was at the top of that 00 | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
foot crane when his leg became trapped in the mechanism. The injury | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
was so bad he had to have it amputated above the knee. That | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
operation was carried out by two surgeons from Addenbrooke's, at the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
top of the crane. Preparing for the next rescue, but few will be as | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
dramatic as the one Louise was involved in on Monday. She was the | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
paramedic on board the Essex and Hertz air ambulance, which flew two | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Cambridge surgeons who help a man whose leg was stuck in machinery on | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
top of a crane in Tilbury. Normally with the training the team has in | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
the helicopter we can manage almost every incident, the able to join | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
together our experiences. But this was a very complex and unusual | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
incident, so being able to call on a specialist team was very helpful and | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
indeed improved the county come of the patient. Emergency crews were | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
called just before 11. 00am to reports of a man trapped 30 metres | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
above the ground. At 11. 30am the air ambulance arrived carrying the | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
surgeons from Addenbrooke's. An hour later they asked for specialist | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
equipment as engineers failed to release the crane gears. A | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
specialist vascular surgeon was called from Chelmsford but it wasn't | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
until five o'clock that the man was released. The accident happened at | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Tilbury, containers coming from all over the world, the goods destined | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
for shops across the country. The engineer whose leg was trapped | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
didn't want to be identified. It is thought he is still being treated at | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
Addenbrooke's Hospital, lucky to be alive thank to the skill and courage | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
of the rescue team. Earlier I spoke to the two surgeons who were involve | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
in that life`saving operation. There had been a lot already done before | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
we arrived by the pro`hospital team and the mental services. Patient was | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
comfortable but still awake. He had a single isolated injuriry, just his | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
leg trapped. He was in an extremely awkward difficult position for both | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
his own comfort and for access for us to assess him and to get him out | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
of that situation. The first thing we did was talk to him and assess | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
the situation. It was clear that his leg was severely trapped and there | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
was no safe way that the fire crew could free that leg. Even if they | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
had been able to find a way to free it it was clear that was so badly | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
damaged that it wasn't possible that that leg would be able to be saved. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
How difficult is this as a situation that you've experienced? Have you | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
been in any situation like this before 100 feet up having to carry | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
out this surgery? Not 100 feet in the air. I have a military | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
background with experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, which skills | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
were directly transferred to the civilian setting. It was a pretty | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
austere environment. It was very tight in space. It was filthy, there | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
was thick grease everywhere from the gather mechanism. The patient was | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
covered in grease. His other leg was trapped behind him. He was leaning | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
forward on to the mechanism itself. It made life very difficult. That | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
was despite all the other services having worked with him for a number | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
of hours before we arrived on the scene. Luckily he had very good pain | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
killers and he was conscious and aware of what was happening | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
throughout the entire time. We were able to talk to the patient, explain | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
who we were, what we were going to do and perform the assessment before | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
deciding we had to proceed with surgery. How much of a team effort | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
was this? Night was 100% a team effort. And that's not just amongst | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
ourselves but the fire crew, the police, the ambulance, the heart | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
service, and back here in Addenbrooke's from the mainly trauma | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
network service, who were effectively the command and control | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
of deploying ourselves. The patient is said to be in good spirits | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
considering all that he's been through. One of those surgeons told | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
me he is due to have more surgery tomorrow, but that he is comfortable | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
and stable, and undoubtedly incredibly grateful for the bravery | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
and skill that that team showed on Monday. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Ben, thank you. It was claimed today that charging | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
drivers to use the A14 will slow down the region's growth. MPs told | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
the Government that plans for a new toll road in Cambridgeshire are | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
"arbitrary and unfair". Here's our political correspondent, Andrew | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Sinclair. There is no Shoreham of people oppose `` there is no | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
shortage of people opposed to these plans, business organisations, | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
hauliers, environmental groups and motorists. And increasingly people | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
from outside Cambridgeshire. This businessman in Suffolk has put a | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
petition on the Downing Street website. Why should we pay a tax in | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Suffolk to use a road that's not been usable for years. Today MPs | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
from Suffolk called a debate to voice their concerns, worried that | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
many drivers will have though option but to use the toll road, something | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
they said could cost business dear. But we in Ipswich are asked to pay | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
effectively for a congestion charge for Cambridge. That is wrong. It | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
runs the risk that we are now going to be facing in Suffolk a road | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
apartheid, that there is going to be discrimination against business | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
users and other travellers into Suffolk. No local MPs were present | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
to defend the scheme. It fell to the Roads Minister to bang the drum And | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
the transport and economic benefits of the improvement to the east of | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
England recently and the Cambridgeshire subregion in | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
particular are significant. The Government will still bear the brunt | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
of the capital costs associated with this scheme but we believe it is | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
fair that the road users who will benefit most should make a | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
contribution to its cost of construction. And he said if | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
hauliers didn't want to pay to use the toll, they could travel at | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
night, when it would be free. Today was about standing up for Suffolk, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
but politicians in Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire have also | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
expressed their concerns. Ministers keep telling me th don't want to | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
force an unpopular road scheme on people if most people don't want it | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
but also say there is no more money available. Which begs the question, | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
is the A 14 any closer to being improved? | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Later in the programme we'll have a special report looking at the | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
environmental impact of the new toll road, with claims that it will | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
increase air pollution. She was born to dance, and is now | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
dancing with the angels ` the tribute to a teenager killed in a | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
car crash in Hertfordshire. Daniella Ruggiero died when her car crashed | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
and burst into flames on the A1 yesterday morning. Her family said | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
today that she was a true star in their lives. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
A teenager has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
four people were stabbed at a party in Bedfordshire. The incident | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
happened on a farm in the remote hamlet of Begwary, close to the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Cambridgeshire border. Three of the victims are being treated in | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
hospital. One of them, 23`year`old Reece Bell, is critically ill. This | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
region now has the lowest level of unemployment in Britain. Figures out | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
today show that 185,000 people are out of work here. It means that 5. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
9% of the region's working force is unemployed. The next lowest recently | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
is the South East at 6%. Analysts say that fall is further evidence of | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
the economic recovery. It has emerged that more people are finding | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
work quicker but many are struggling whole long`term unemployment. | :09:29. | :09:54. | |
We've had our ups and downs over the last three years. Unemployment's | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
risen and fallen. But all the time staying within spitting distance of | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
200,000. But, of course, those who are unemployed aren't the same | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
people. Well, some of them are, but most of them aren't. And that's | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
because most unemployed people find new jobts quite quickly, within six | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
months. People likely am Scorer after leaving school he worked at | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
Center Parcs in Suffolk for five years, but in May he lost he job. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
After four months of searching he was taken on as an apprentice by | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
multi`York, the furp chair `` furniture maker in Thetford. I went | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
to the Jobcentre and applied for numerous jobs. I found this one at | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
multi`York. I had an interview and I'm now employed. But Elinor Baker | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
from Peterborough has been out of work for a year. A medical secretary | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
and office manager was made redundant three times in the UK so | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
tried her luck abroad. After five years working in the Middle East she | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
returned home. She is learning accounts and book`keeping to brawnd | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
her skills. I see these challenges as an opportunity. I see them as a | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
way of actually retraining and getting new skills and getting out | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
into the workplace and showing that actually older people are not people | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
to be put on the scrap heap. We are very good at what we do and we are | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
actually very employable and keen to be working. Today's figures show | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
that employers are recruiting again, throwing up opportunities for those | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
on the market. The Ministry of Defence has | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
confirmed that a soldier based at Chicksands in Bedfordshire has been | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
killed in Afghanistan. 22`year`old Lance Corporal James Brynin, of the | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Intelligence Corps, was attached to 14 Signal Regiment. He was shot dead | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
during a gun fight in Helmand Province on Tuesday. | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
difference and will meet Finland at Stadium MK on 14 November. | :12:03. | :12:14. | |
Still to come on Look East this evening: What celery grown in the | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Fens has got in common with Champagne. | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
And as we approach the centenary of the First World War, we want your | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
help in building a picture of what the East did. | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
Let's return now to that controversy over toll charges on the A14. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Earlier, we heard MPs criticising the plan suggesting it will hinder | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
economic recovery. Well, today, more opposition, this time over claims | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
the new road will increase air pollution. | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
The Campaign for Better Transport says the new road scheme will | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
increase air pollution over a wide area of Cambridgeshire. And the | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
group also warns that levels in some locations could exceed legal limits. | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Tonight's special report is from our Environment Reporter, Richard | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Daniel. It anywhere will feel the impact of | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
the new A14 toll road, it is here. The existing A14 passes to the north | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
of this village. For Eileen Collier, it is a big problem. Our biggest | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
concern is for the health of our children. All roads lead to | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
Brampton. There rugby ten lanes of traffic within metres of family | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
homes. The risk is for children. Studies have shown it is very | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
harmful for children living within 500 metres on the highway. | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
If this toll road is to ever go ahead it will have to overcome many | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
hurdles, not least if pollution limits, because on the testing A14, | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
in some places already certain limits have been exceeded. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Take particulate matter, the fine suit reduced by diesel engines. It | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
can cause lung disease and asthma. The legal limit per year is 40 | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
micrograms. It was recorded near Kimmeridge at 54. The level of | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
nitrogen dioxide is 40 micrograms per to beat meter. Add bar Hill in | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
2011, it was 43. Overall, levels of nitrogen dioxide have been falling. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
That might be because engines are now cleaner, but campaigners warn | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
that the new toll road could reverse this trend. And even end up | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
breaching EU laws. We know historically that when you | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
build new lanes of traffic, they fill up. Given that it is already at | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
or above the legal limits, we can assume that the extra lanes of | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
traffic can only add to that and make it worse. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Today the Department for transport says that the government understands | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the impact the project that this can have. That is why he full assessment | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
will be completed before any work happens. But that won't convince | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
opponents. Battle lines over this new road are already being drawn up. | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
This afternoon I spoke to the MP for Huntingdon, Jonathan Djanogly and | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
put it to him that there was a lot of opposition to the A14 plans for | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
different reasons. But the main objection still seemed to be that | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
out of 25 national road schemes this was the only one to be funded by a | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
toll. The point here is that the | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
government has said they don't have ?1.5 million to spend on the road | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
and they are offering all as an alternative. My position is that it | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
is better to have the new road, and vital for the future of the region | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
than if we were to just reject the road on the basis of their not being | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
the funding. The MP for Ipswich calls it a | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
Cambridge congestion charge because he says motorists across the East | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
are being forced to pay for a Cambridge's success. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
The truth is, as you go along the road and will be some people who | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
benefit. But I do think that looking at the forward business, cultural | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
and whole way of life that we have in the East of England, for us to | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
move forward, we need to have better infrastructure, and the A14 is a | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
vital part of that. We need this road to move forward. Yes, we have | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
the enquiry process, we have the consultation, people's views should | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
be taken on board, but a look at it as something that just affects | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
Cambridge congestion is to my mind a narrow focus. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Isn't one of the main problem is that there is now easily available | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
alternative for those who don't want to pay the toll? Would it not be | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
better to keep open part of the old road to other people can go on if | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
necessary? This is a common misconception. The | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
old road is going to be kept open. It won't be a through road, you will | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
have to go down into Huntingdon and then round Huntingdon on the new | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
road. But it will still exist. That's not an easily available | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
alternative, it is a slower alternative will stop we want to | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
encourage through traffic to go onto the new road, is that is what is | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
going to improve the flow of traffic and therefore alleviate the terrible | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
problems that we have. Over a 20 year period we will see | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
traffic increase by 26 present. For anyone who uses this road, it is | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
already one big car park a lot of the time. For those complaining | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
about rat running, rat running is currently happening through villages | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
around the road when increasing rate. To deal with it, we need a new | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
road. Given the strength of opposition | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
from all sorts of organisations, chambers of commerce, road haulage | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
federations, the RAC, are you feeling a bit like a voice in the | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
wilderness? Not at all. I certainly represent | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
the majority in my constituency. If there was to be a free, new road, I | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
would be delighted. Sure everyone would be delighted. The government | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
were to their mind and put in place a new road. I would not be | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
complaining. That is not what is on the table. What I'm saying is that | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
if it is a question between a new road or no road, we need a new road. | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
On the face of it there isn't much in common between Champagne, Cornish | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
pasties and a certain type of celery grown in the Fens. But from today, | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
there is. What's happened is that Fenland | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
celery has become England's first vegetable to earn protected status | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
from the European Commission. So, if it wasn't grown in the Fens, it | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
isn't Fenland celery. And that's good for business, as our chief | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
reporter Kim Riley has been finding out. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Spread over 20 acres, as far as the eye can see, 200,000 sick of Fenland | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
celery growing in dark, rich soil. Planted in June, they will be | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
harvested over the next three months. Traditional varieties like | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
fenland, dwarf white, wanted in white rose amid deep trenches. Today | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
they were renting up the soil, protecting from winter frost. The | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
soil blanching the celery to give it a paler colour. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
These soils are 70% organic matter. Gareth McCambridge came to farm in | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
the Fens. This is how we harvest the fenland | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
celery. It is labour`intensive, as you can see. Soil is banged up | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
around the celery which makes it very brittle and you can see the | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
blanching in the celery. The traditional method was to have it | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
cut into the point. And that is pretty much how it would be sold | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
today. In Victorian times, fennel and | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
celery was grown for the London Christmas market. It is getting | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
protected status at just the right time. | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
It was announced yesterday, so we're only one week into the season, so | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
we're hoping to push all the way through Christmas will stop so if | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
you can find it in your shops, you encourage people to have a go after | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
Mark this year it will be in Waitrose and Marks Spencer 's and | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
on a lot of respite menus, as well. It does cost double the price of | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
conventional celery, but connoisseurs say it is a cheese | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
board winner, its roots are holy grail of taste. When it comes to | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
crunch, fenland celery is back in fashion. | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
Though there is a selling point ` the holy grail of taste. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
The BBC has announced plans to mark the centenary of the First World War | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
with the biggest and most ambitious season of programmes the corporation | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
has ever commissioned. Here in the East we're looking for 100 stories | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
from this region to mark 100 years since the outbreak of war. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
The project is called World War One at Home. Shaun Peel has more now | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
from the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Yes, I'm in the land warfare exhibition. This is a howitzer that | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
was used in France in 1914 and 1917. My friend here is a sentry from the | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
camera to regiment, having a chat with an officer from the French | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
army. The memories are still there. Maybe they are in an attic a shoe | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
box. Stories about real people, links to places in our region in | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
this region. Stories like this. The BBC Essex presenter never knew his | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
grandfather until you recently. Helped by the records office, the | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
crackdown on his grandfather, an ace pilot who was shot down over the sum | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
during the war. This is the moment Dave find out who his grandfather | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
was. Let's have a look at the first one. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Here he is. Your grandfather. He came over from | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Canada and then went to the flying school. He was the plane he would | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
have learned on. Looks quite scary to me. | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
You'd have to be pretty brave or pretty mad to do that. | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Exciting, really, for a young man. Yes, yes. | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
The thought of playing your grandfather flew in battle. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
And I guess he would have stood up there with his gun. It would have | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
been freezing out there. He was flying this thing on 3rd of August | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
1916. What happened? They were on a bombing mission. | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Although they were north of the sum, they took part in doing things | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
like bombing railway lines and so on to stop supplies getting to the | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
sum, they did do that. On their way back, they were attacked by a German | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
pilot. `` the Somme. A letter from Geneva states, this | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
officer is bereaved. Since we started, I have felt different about | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
myself. Before, there was a big question mark that side of my | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
family. Now I feel much more complete as a person. These were | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
real people with real lives, and one of them was my grandfather. | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
Dave's story ` what is yours? This is a German howitzer, and here are | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
the most striking images from the Somme, the mud and misery of it. | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
Maybe someone in that photo is a member of your family. We would love | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
to hear your stories. Do get in touch, the details are on the | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
screen. Tell us your stories about real people went to places in our | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
region. It could be a makeshift hospital that was used for a street | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
that was bombed. 100 stories, it is a tall order, but the mini one of | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
them could be yours. Thank you very much. | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
Now the weather: a weather front today has brought rain to the | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
region, and some has been heavy. This weather front has also | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
introduced milder air. This is the rainfall radar over the last few | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
hours. Much of it has now cleared into the North Sea. Still cloud | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
around for Norfolk and Suffolk but elsewhere clear skies. A | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
predominantly dry night with clear skies to start with. We might see | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
increasing amounts of cloud over the south parts of the region. Part of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
Essex, Suffolk, Bedfordshire. Elsewhere dry and much milder. | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
Tonight more like 11 Celsius, 52 Fahrenheit. It will stay windy. The | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
wind from the south`west. A moderate breeze, and breezy through tomorrow. | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
A difference in pressure pattern tomorrow. We will be under the | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
influence of high pressure, so that means a sunny day, and also it will | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
feel warmer, so much better weather prospects for tomorrow, particularly | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
in the morning we will see sunshine. In the afternoon, patchy cloud | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
around, and this might blow in showers. We'll have a brisk | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
south`westerly wind through tomorrow, particularly noticeable | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
through the morning, though it is expected to ease as the day goes on. | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
Be aware that there could be one or two isolated showers to the south | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
and elsewhere. Temperatures will climb to 16 Celsius, 61 Fahrenheit. | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
We might get to 17 or 18 degrees. As winds ease, it should feel | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
comfortable. Looking ahead, low`pressure returns. Another | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
weather front on its way. In the east we will fear quite well and | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
will see dry weather through the morning and into part of the | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
afternoon on Friday. The western half will see rain as we progress | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
through the day. The low`pressure sticks around, so unsettled weekend. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
Temperatures will stay on the mild side. Nothing too chilly overnight. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
We start Friday dry with sunny spells. Increasing cloud, bringing | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
rain. It will turn heavier through the day. Maybe some issues during | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
rush hour. It will stay mild, a little bit showery and breezy. But | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
some sunshine around. little bit showery and breezy. But | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
That's all from us. If you have a story about World War I he would | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
like to share with us, you can contact us by phone, e`mail or on | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
social media. Have a good evening. Goodbye. | :27:42. | :28:14. | |
You ask us to get behind you and why should we? | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
You're punching above your weight, aren't you? | :28:17. | :28:18. | |
He wouldn't do that to me because he wasn't that sort of a man. | :28:19. | :28:25. |
