Tonight, live pictures as the region's Fire crews had just walked | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
out on strike. They will not return until 11pm. There are warnings to | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
hope `` postpone private fireworks parties. Hello and welcome to Look | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
East. In the programme tonight. . Burgled while she visited her | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
terminally ill husband, a grandmother begs for family | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
heirlooms to be returned. Back at the canoeing course where he | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
won gold, Etienne Stott looks back ` and forward. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
And strong winds forecast for Saturday night. All the details | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
later. Good evening. It's one of their | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
busiest nights of the year. But right now fire`fighters across the | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
region are beginning a 4.5 hour strike. They're urging the public to | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
postpone bonfire celebrations until tomorrow. Here's what they're | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
striking over ` at the moment, fire`fighters retire at 55, but the | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
government wants to raise that to 60. Union members say it's a | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
physical job and forcing older fire`fighters to stay on the front | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
line is "unrealistic and dangerous". Ben Bland is at the station in | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Cambridge where the picket line is about to form. | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
As you can see behind me, these firefighters have now come out on | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
strike along with hundreds of others right across our region. The strike | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
that happened back in September was at a very quiet time of the day It | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
was in the middle of the afternoon. Tonight, it is happily much busier | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
time. It is a evening, and bonfire night, people may be going to events | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
or planning their own things in the garden at home. It is also the last | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Friday of half term. The rows will be even busier than normal. The fire | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
service often attends and held out a road accidents. The timing of the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
strike could really put pressure on the fire service across the region | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
this evening. They are urging people to take extra care. Strike almost | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
right, the show will go on. Bedford Rugby club is getting ready to host | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
its fireworks display tonight. It has been five months in the planning | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
and they are determined not to disappoint the 4000 people they are | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
expecting. They are used to crowd here because of rugby matches. We | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
have precautions in place and they will answer my 99 map `` my 99 | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
calls. They are happy that we go`ahead with this. Our chief safety | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
officer is a fireman. Across the region, contingency plans are in | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
effect. My 99 calls will be answered. Some Fire services will be | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
using part`time workers or senior offices. We have contingency cover | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
for the whole county but it will be based on availability. We are urging | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
people to be very careful considering our close we are to | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
bonfire night. To attend where possible organised events. For | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
people coming back on the roads for half term, to be particularly | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
careful. The rows between the Fire Brigade union and the government. | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
The plans are to raise the retirement age to 16. There's also a | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
plan to introduce a fitness test which the union believes that for | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
some people to retire early. We have put together one of the best hackers | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
years in the public sector. It is rightly generous because | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
firefighters perform a vital service. It will `` they will be | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
based on their capability. This is the second strike in six weeks and | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
even `` the side cannot reach agreement, there is another plan for | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
next week. It is a particularly cold night here but the firefighters will | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
be on the picket line for the next four hours until the strike finishes | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
at 11pm. Cars going past have been sounding their walls and support, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
some of them. Firefighters in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
will also be taking part in the strike. Neither side is backing down | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
this evening. That further strike I mentioned is due to happen between | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
6pm and 8pm on Monday morning unless they can strike a deal in the | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
meantime. Keith Handscomb is from the Fire | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Brigades' Union in this region. I asked him whether members could | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
expect the public's the board when they chose to strike on bonfire | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
night weekend. We were actually hoping not to go on strike at all. | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
But we chose the Friday night and the Sunday, or Monday morning, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
because by our research, the vast number of public events will be | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
happening on Saturday and on November the 5th itself. So we | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
carefully selected the Friday and Sunday to avoid that. You say try to | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
not affect the bonfire weekend, but people are travelling back from half | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
term, it is also Halloween. There will be plenty of people out there. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Members say it is dangerous to work on the front line until 60, but | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
surely striking today is also dangerous. There is no good time for | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
an emergency front line service to go on strike. Some provisions are in | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
place, busy they will not be as good as the professional immediate | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
response is that you get from the professionals. But we also agree | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
that if there is a major incident, a terrorism incident, we will cause `` | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
call our members back. Let's talk about one of those grievances, the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
retirement age. The armed forces have also had their pensions | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
changed, they will work till 60 why can't you? You don't see many | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
60`year`old soldiers operating on the front line in war zones. But | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
firefighters work on the operational side all the way through their | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
career. At the age of 60, even the government's evidence shows, that | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
the vast majority of firefighters face the problem of being sacked | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
before the age of 16 and they get their pension because of the high | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
level of fitness that needs to be maintained. Keith Handscomb, this is | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
the second time in six weeks that members have walked out, how long | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
are you prepared to fight for? We hope to have talks soon, we have | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
written to the Minister. It seems to us that the government had no | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
intention of changing their plans despite the public seeming to | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
understand that it is not reasonable or professional to have 60`year`old | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
firefighters. I hope they come to the table. If they do game, it could | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
be a long dispute. Next tonight the sheer human cost of | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
burglary. A pensioner from Cambridgeshire was targeted as she | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
was out visiting her terminally ill husband. Ann Ward's bungalow in | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Impington was ransacked. The thieves got away with thousands of pounds | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
worth of jewellery much of it with great sentimental value. Mike | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Cartwright went to meet Mrs Ward. I walked into the kitchen and | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
straightaway, stood on broken glass. I turned and put the light on and | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
obviously saw the window had been smashed in. Ann Ward had just got | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
home after visiting her husband Frank who is terminally ill with | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
cancer. A son, Darren, is disable and need constant care. And not to | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
deal with. And now this. Devastated, really. I don't need all this with | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
everything else I have got going on. She rushed to her bedroom. The room | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
had been ransacked. Boxes of jewellery emptied. It was all tipped | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
on the bed and on the floor. My jewellery was gone. A lifetime of | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
jewellery. That my husband had bought me over the years and that I | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
had bought myself and also presents from people. Precious belongings | :08:52. | :09:03. | |
stolen a recent spate of burglaries. A Breitling watch was stolen, a | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
1950s antique. Also a gold ghillie chain, and antique. Very own usual. | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
`` a gold did the chain. If you have seen it, get in touch with us. Had | :09:20. | :09:31. | |
he. `. `` had you feel about these people? As a Christian, I'm trying | :09:32. | :09:46. | |
not to feel bitter and horrible And have a ` Ann Ward used to feel quite | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
safe in this house. No longer. I left all the lights on in this | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
house. But I have to stay here. I will not let them get the better of | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
me. She is determined to get over this, otherwise, she says, the | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
burglars have one. `` the burglars have won. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
The bomb disposal squad was called to Kettering this morning after the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
discovery of several World War II devices. Northamptonshire Police say | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
they carried out a warrant at a house in Highfield Road where they | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
found the devices. A section of the road was cordoned off and two houses | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
evacuated. The devices were examined and found to be no threat ` no | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
controlled explosion was needed Ram raiders have got away with a | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
cash machine from a post office and convenience store in Bedfordshire. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
They smashed through the wall of the shop in Clifton using a stolen JCB. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Two cars were also damaged. It's thought three people made their | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
escape in a stolen white pick`up truck. Police are examining CCTV and | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
asking witnesses to come forward. A word of congratulation to our | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
colleague Jonathan Vernon`Smith at BBC Three Counties Radio. He has won | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
a gold and silver Gillard award That's the competition which | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
recognises the best in BBC local radio. | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
goal is simple, inspire and energise them to do more. | :11:06. | :11:17. | |
Still to come, the experts give their verdict on this week's big | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
storm. Plus remember our Olympic games | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
venue, it gets ready for a weekend of white water action. | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Next tonight, the small European state of Macedonia. It's a | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
land`locked country of two million people and it's where Mother Teresa | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
was born. John Toshack used to manage the country's football team | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
and it's one of the latest countries to apply to join the European Union. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
That application has sparked a wider debate about the future direction of | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
the European Union. Does that matter to us here in the East of England? | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
Well yes, according to one of our leading Euro MPs. Tonight's special | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
report is from our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair. | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
This is Macedonia. It is part of the former Yugoslavia. The capital is | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
and the main industries here are food and chemical production. It has | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
32% unemployment and a third of people live below the poverty line. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
In a few years time, Macedonia could be part of the EU. As Europe has | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
grown, trade has grown and we are all more prosperous. Every family in | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
the east of England is more wealthy because of us trading in Europe. He | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
has been chosen by the European powers to oversee Macedonia's | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
application. He points out that Johnson already has a production | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
plant in the country. He is sure that more firms will benefit. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
Neighbouring countries of Montenegro, Serbia, Iceland are all | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
applying for EU membership. At the European Parliament, not everyone is | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
happy. Some feel Europe is getting too big. We welcome the principle of | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
enlargement, but before we get onto enlarging it any longer, we need to | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
sort it out. We need a fundamental reshaping and bring about great | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
change in the EU. These are poor countries, there are 100 million | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
population in those countries who would be entitled to come to the | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
rest of Europe, including the UK. Also, the idea that you can make | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
poor countries rich and make us richer by trading with them is a | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
circular argument. Why does all this matter? With European elections | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
approaching, there is a big debate about what the EU is ready for and | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
what it should look like in the future. Should it continue to expand | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
and provide more opportunities, particularly for business and | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
travel? Macedonia's application is bog down in a row with Greece. It'll | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
still be some time before it joins the EU. In fact, depending on our | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
referendum, they could be joining just as Britain is leading. `` | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
believing. And you can see a round`up of the | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
week's political news from the region on this weekend's edition of | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Sunday Politics. It's at eleven o'clock this Sunday, here on BBC | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
One. This time last year, Ipswich Town | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
were in the doldrums and there was unrest on the stands. But then, | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
exactly a year ago today, the club appointed Mick McCarthy as its new | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
manager. Since then, Town's fortunes have been on the up. And for the | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
first time in years they can start to dream about promotion to the | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Premier League. Tonight, Ipswich take on Barnsley at Portman Road. | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Let's go there now and join our sports reporter James Burridge. | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
That old sporting cliche, what a difference a year makes. It could | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
not be more true here. Look at a few facts. One year ago, they were seven | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
points clear of safety at the bottom of the Championship, now they are | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
seven points from the play`offs. Can fans start to dream? | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
Unorthodox entrance, but after 12 months, Mick McCarthy has Ipswich | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
heading the right way. I could not resist it. After a rocky few years. | :15:17. | :15:30. | |
Welcome to Portman Road. A year to the day since replacing Paul, with | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
Ipswich in real trouble. it is a great time at. Are you proud of what | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
you have achieved? I guess so. I think at the end of last season, | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
there was a sense of achievement. Last year has been good. It has been | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
very exciting. Frustrating, annoying, sometimes. It was a | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
success considering where we were last year. This year, we're doing | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
OK. Should be doing better. He boasts an impressive record since | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
taking charge, 46 games, 19 wins, 12 draws, 69 points in all. It carried | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
that would have earned them a place in the top six last season. 13 games | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
into the new campaign, whilst not in promotion form, they are comfortably | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
mid`table. Much better than expected. He has come and the main | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
thing is he has put a smile on the face of the players and the | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
supporters. The results have been mixed, but they are an improvement | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
on a year ago. Is their pressure on him to deliver promotion sooner | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
rather than later? The fans are the biggest pressure gauge for us. Yes, | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
there is pressure to achieve. But there is an understanding that what | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
he has done with the team, we have the right team and there are always | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
improvements we can make. We have the right team and that has been | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
proved in the results and why should we not go up at the end of the | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
season? Having inherited an ageing squad, it has been a period of | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
transition. 20 of the club's 28 professionals are under 25. It is a | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
healthier, happier place to be. Let's speak to a legend and get his | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
insights. Mick Mills joins us. Mick, the past 12 months, how would you | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
describe them? They have been superb. I think he was the right | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
choice at the time. He has done what everyone expected him to do. Do fans | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
have to be realists? Is the Premier League a dream too far? To be this | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
year. One step at a time. What he has done in one year is tremendous. | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
He has organised the defence, first of all, he has a solid unit, players | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
are happy playing under him and the results are steady. Whether he can | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
push this team into the play`offs, I am unsure. He may not be getting the | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Republic of Ireland job, so that some consistency. I hope not, from | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Mick's personal point of view, it may have been nice to be asked, a | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
couple of weeks ago, it was serious stuff, now I think he will stay. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Thank goodness for that. Coverage with Mick and the Suffolk team on | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
BBC Radio Suffolk at 7:45pm. We remember the gold medal in the | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
canoeist `` canoeing. I have been back with him where he won that | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
amazing gold medal with his partner, Tim Bailey. You will find some of | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
the world's best canoeists, . It is the hardest course of the | :18:50. | :19:02. | |
world. Any one section would probably be the hardest in any other | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
course. This is continuous, intense. You have to be positive and clear | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
minded. If you start to timidly, it'll be a mistake. He starts to | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
aggressively that can be a mistake. Just over 100 of the world's best | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
canoeists will be here at the weekend, some starting for the first | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
time, some champions. With the world Championships coming up, this is | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
vital practice time. It is a good course. I won the last Olympic games | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
here. For me, it is the best course in the world. It is a difficult | :19:43. | :19:56. | |
course, but... A little bit further on, you can see the big drop behind | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
me, that is probably the most significant test on the course. You | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
are always trying to get the precision, a small difference can be | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
a big difference after the drop. Two years ago, 16`year`old George | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Cooper was just passing by a canoe club. My dad asked me if I wanted to | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
have a go. I spoke to one of the people, through on St Kitts and had | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
a go. When was that? About two years ago. It is incredible that I am now | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
competing. It is one of the steepest and shortest courses in the world. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
The rough and tumble of these waters will soon sort out the old hands | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
from the young pretenders. The skill is to anticipate and take account of | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
the water and harness the water. It is about gaining the power, so much | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
energy in this water, if you can tap into that, you will zip along. Good | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
luck to all those competing. If you want to go, it is free to watch. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Good luck to Northampton Saints' five players who will be taking on | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
Australia tomorrow. You can catch up on BBC Three if you cannot watch it | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
live. We have an update on our top story. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Fire crews in the London area are being recalled to work in response | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
to a major fire in Dagenham in Essex. | :21:30. | :21:30. | |
Weather experts and the power companies said today they were | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
pleased with the way they anticipated and then dealt with the | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
storm which hit our region on Monday. Engineers have spent the day | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
continuing to re`connect homes. Tonight, just a handful are believed | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
to be still without power. The storm was called St Jude, after the patron | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
saint of lost causes. In this report from Mike Liggins we ask, just how | :21:48. | :21:48. | |
severe was the storm? And how effective was the operation? Suffolk | :21:49. | :22:07. | |
counts the cost of the heavy winds. Monday the 28th of October, a date | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
likely to live long in the memory for many. The M11, blocked by an | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
overturned lorry, a terrified driver described what happened The wind was | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
pulling me all over the place. I felt the wind got underneath the | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
lorry and it took off. It was an exceptional storm. The interesting | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
thing about this one is that it was very well forecast. I was told how | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
forecasters get its spent on `` spot on and how a stinging jet, comes | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
behind the lower area of low pressure, does the damage. it comes | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
from high up in the ad for cashback atmosphere, it produces really | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
strong gusts. You get a `` and area that started west of London and then | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
tracks north eastwards into Essex and Suffolk. There was an intense, | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
but very brief period of strong gusts. That is what caused most of | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
the damage. The high winds caused chaos. It was a miserable start for | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
those using the East Coast mainline. They said there was nothing until | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
9am. Do you wish you had run trains earlier? No, I think... Some of you | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
thought that question was unfair. Ruth said... | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
The train problems went on into Tuesday and by Wednesday people in | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
the elite of Rockwell were still without power. I was here in 1987. | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
That report commented Nicky Cook e`mail... | :24:03. | :24:14. | |
The last time we had a big storm was 2007 and we had about 450,000 of | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
supply. This time, we have 700,000 of supply and they were back. That | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
shows how quickly we have improved. Monday's storm was not as severe as | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
the storm of 1987. The period of strong winds in that... It lasted | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
quite a lot longer. In this particular storm, on Monday, the | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Saint Jude's storm produced a period of maybe less than an hour when the | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
winds were most damaging. For many, the storm brought delay, | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
inconvenience, even temporary hardship. Thanks to the efforts of | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
forecasters, engineers, and call centre workers, it could have been | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
much worse. Thank goodness it wasn't. Let's have | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
a look at the weather. It won't be as windy as Monday. A | :25:07. | :25:19. | |
series of low pressure areas that will bring us rain and strong winds. | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
Not heavy rain this evening, instead we will have a lot of cloud, maybe | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
some bits of patchy rain and some persistent rain after midnight. It | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
will stay mild with lows of nine Celsius. The wind also between | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
north`westerly direction by the end of the night. We start tomorrow with | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
this pressure system heading in our direction. We get rid of that low, | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
this is the next one. The rain on this low is not the real concern. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
The strength of wind is. As it pulls away, the winds will strengthen. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Looking in detail at the day, it looks as though it is a mostly dry | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
start, there is a lot of cloud around first thing and then we will | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
see the sunshine. Those winds. To strengthen into the afternoon, | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
coming on a south`westerly wind and they could blow in some heavy | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
showers for the afternoon. Temperatures climbing to 14 | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
Celsius. Into the afternoon and evening, that is where they are | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
likely to be less longest. There could be heavy. The winds may gusts. | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
We could get up to 40 mph and they will continue to be strong | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
overnight. Bonfire night celebrations, not the best night for | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
the strength of the wind. As the low spins away, that is when the winds | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
will be strong. For your bonfire night on Saturday, expect some | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
strong winds, it will feel quite cool and it will certainly have a | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
chance of showers. Then we get to Sunday. It will still be quite windy | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
for Sunday. There will be some sunny spells, just the chance of a shower, | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
but most showers for Monday would be quite isolated. Certainly feeling | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
chilly in the brisk wind. Then we have another low pressure system | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
arriving on Sunday night. That will bring some overnight rain. | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Particularly across the southern and eastern half of the region. Some | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
rain to clear the first thing on Monday, still quite a cool, chilly | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
day with highs of nine Celsius, but some sunny spells developing with | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
winds coming from a northerly direction, feeling cool. The next | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
low`pressure arrives on Tuesday, that will mean rain, milder | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
temperatures, but not before we have some very cold nights. That is all | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
from us, have a grey weekend. Goodbye. `` did begin. | :27:44. | :27:45. |
