:00:08. > :00:17.Good evening. In the programme tonight. Eight people go on trial
:00:18. > :00:25.for sexually abusing girls in Peterborough. That and the rest of
:00:26. > :00:27.today's top stories. Anti`social behaviour in
:00:28. > :00:32.Peterborough. Police hope new powers will keep it under control. Waiting
:00:33. > :00:37.for the phone. The villagers cut off a week after the storms. And had
:00:38. > :00:52.47, watched as a football team did after its worst in 75 years? `` at
:00:53. > :00:54.its worst defeat in 75 years? Police in Peterborough want new
:00:55. > :00:57.powers to crack down on anti`social behaviour such as street`drinking
:00:58. > :01:01.and begging. If they succeed, it would cover the whole of the city
:01:02. > :01:04.centre. It would mean that they could take offenders through the
:01:05. > :01:09.civil courts which could lead to tougher sentencing. Emma Baugh
:01:10. > :01:13.reports. A couple on an evening out in
:01:14. > :01:19.Peterborough confronted by a group of ten youths. They made threatening
:01:20. > :01:21.comments about women. The couple cannot be traced and it is no
:01:22. > :01:27.charges. But it is evidence like this police hope will bring in extra
:01:28. > :01:33.powers to cut down on anti`social behaviour across the city. We will
:01:34. > :01:39.patrol the city centre, see if any of our undesirables are about. See
:01:40. > :01:45.what the plan of action is today. You have just got out of jail? What
:01:46. > :01:48.was that for? Join us a street drinker who could be affected by the
:01:49. > :01:54.new order. Police say he has been rehoused three or four times
:01:55. > :02:00.already. How can we help someone who doesn't want help? It is very
:02:01. > :02:04.difficult. If police kept a section 222 order, people breaking it could
:02:05. > :02:09.be brought before the civil court for content. It might mean police
:02:10. > :02:13.need less evidence and get more robust sentencing. Police hope
:02:14. > :02:18.others will give them more power, but it is not always so simple. In
:02:19. > :02:22.Birmingham, they have been used to cut down on street thinking and
:02:23. > :02:25.knife crime. A judge said he would not give an order because there was
:02:26. > :02:30.not enough evidence and there were enough laws in place already. Eddie
:02:31. > :02:36.is a street musician and fears he may be caught out if people mistake
:02:37. > :02:42.his busking for begging. Is the order going too far? Whilst it is
:02:43. > :02:46.quite a strong power we will have, we will use our discretion and talk
:02:47. > :02:50.to people. There will be about range of problems and they will give
:02:51. > :02:55.people the opportunity to stop what they are doing. People in
:02:56. > :02:59.Peterborough said is a problem that needs tackling. I live on a road
:03:00. > :03:04.where people fell through my Hedge End throw bottles into it. I do not
:03:05. > :03:10.like people being aware of other people's feelings. The kids are on
:03:11. > :03:16.the street, whereas the parents We had two children on our street at
:03:17. > :03:23.two o'clock in the morning. You should be more of a police presence
:03:24. > :03:29.on the street. Drunks walking around with families walking around. It
:03:30. > :03:33.always worries me. If police get the extra powers, they could start in
:03:34. > :03:36.the New Year. A court has been hearing about an
:03:37. > :03:39.accident at a go`karting centre in Cambridgeshire in which an
:03:40. > :03:42.18`year`old woman died. It happened four years ago. Today the manager of
:03:43. > :03:45.the company based in Caxton appeared before a judge having previously
:03:46. > :03:54.admitted health and safety offences. Mike Cartwright's been at
:03:55. > :04:01.Peterborough Crown Court. In court today, it was described as
:04:02. > :04:04.a tragic accident. This is a picture of the victim. She was described as
:04:05. > :04:09.vibrant and fun loving. The 18`year`old was killed when her
:04:10. > :04:14.scarf became entangled in the back axle of a go`kart. It happened at
:04:15. > :04:21.the racetrack near Huntington into thousand and nine. She was with
:04:22. > :04:24.friends. Only one staff member for a so`called after`hours race session.
:04:25. > :04:28.This man arriving at court this morning, the was the manager at the
:04:29. > :04:34.time. He along with the company that employed him, Peter Black Racing
:04:35. > :04:36.Limited, have pleaded guilty to a number of health and see the
:04:37. > :04:45.failings including a lack of training, inadequate safety
:04:46. > :04:50.briefings and the equipment. The defence say that at the time, there
:04:51. > :04:53.were so`called play sessions. These were after sessions where staff
:04:54. > :04:57.could bring guests. They said senior members like the manager involved
:04:58. > :05:01.would have to be told and would have to be there. He wasn't told, they
:05:02. > :05:06.said, and that is why he was not there. They also said his feelings
:05:07. > :05:10.were only found in investigations after Suzanne's death and they have
:05:11. > :05:19.not been directly linked to her death. We should have a sentencing
:05:20. > :05:23.for this tomorrow as this Court For men and four teenagers have gone
:05:24. > :05:33.on trial charged with more than 50 counts of sexual effect since ``
:05:34. > :05:38.sexual offences against five girls in Peterborough. Two of the
:05:39. > :05:43.defendants are just 14. It was in the spark that a girl with
:05:44. > :05:47.severe learning disability `` that a giggle with severe learning
:05:48. > :05:51.disabilities alleged she was raped. It was only when she was taken into
:05:52. > :06:02.care last year that she told her story. At the Old Bailey, four men
:06:03. > :06:09.and for teenage boys are per chart with a total of 67 sexual offences
:06:10. > :06:15.against five victims. Most of them are from a Czech and Slovak
:06:16. > :06:19.background. The man left in the picture, also known as Skinny, was
:06:20. > :06:24.described as the boss and the charismatic and controlling figure.
:06:25. > :06:42.For the prosecution, the described the 13`year`old's ordeal.
:06:43. > :06:46.The members of the jury have been warned they will be a classic
:06:47. > :06:49.descriptions in this trial of what allegedly happened to the girls
:06:50. > :06:53.They will have to put emotions and sympathies to one side. The
:06:54. > :07:03.defendants denied the charges, the case continues.
:07:04. > :07:07.A businessman from Coventry charged with the murder of a family of four
:07:08. > :07:10.has entered a not guilty plea. Anxiang Du appeared at Northampton
:07:11. > :07:13.Crown Court. He's accused of murdering Jeff Ding, his wife Helen
:07:14. > :07:19.and their daughters 18`year`old Xing and 12`year`old Alice. His trial is
:07:20. > :07:23.due to start on November the 12th. The family of a teenager has warned
:07:24. > :07:26.of the dangers of swimming in rivers at the inquest of their son. William
:07:27. > :07:30.Stringer drowned in the River Ivel in Biggleswade in August. Though not
:07:31. > :07:32.a strong swimmer he'd gone in with friends. The coroner Tom Osborne
:07:33. > :07:36.said people shouldn't swim where there were not proper facilities.
:07:37. > :07:39.This time last week, we were dealing with the aftermath of the biggest
:07:40. > :07:42.storm to hit the region in decades. Thousands were without power and
:07:43. > :07:46.there had been major disruption on both road and rail. A week later,
:07:47. > :07:50.all the lights are back on. But that's not the case with telephone
:07:51. > :07:59.lines. At Elmdon in Essex 80 people are off line. BT won't say how many
:08:00. > :08:03.other villages are affected. Around 250 people live here. It is
:08:04. > :08:09.tucked away, but for the last week, locals have felt even more isolated
:08:10. > :08:11.than usual after losing their landlines and as spot where mobile
:08:12. > :08:17.phone coverage is virtually nonexistent. Because we do not have
:08:18. > :08:21.mobile phone signals, we thought someone would have come in from BT
:08:22. > :08:30.to explain what has happened. There has been no communication. How would
:08:31. > :08:35.you rate the performance? `1. We have a lot of people here, some who
:08:36. > :08:39.are not too well, and BT have left them completely lost. This was the
:08:40. > :08:44.cause on the outskirts of the village. Two trees tumbled, taking
:08:45. > :08:50.phone lines with them. It cut connections to around 80 homes. BT
:08:51. > :08:54.told us today that putting this right will take a significant amount
:08:55. > :08:59.of work. They need to put in a new poll and 600 jars of cable. They do
:09:00. > :09:05.say that if the do not see unforeseen problems, everyone will
:09:06. > :09:08.be back on for Wednesday. FrontPage and consternation to possible
:09:09. > :09:11.compensation. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, 700,000
:09:12. > :09:17.homes and businesses were left without power. Many were back on
:09:18. > :09:20.quickly. But just over 20,000 customers in the East were blacked
:09:21. > :09:26.out for more than two days and will receive compensation. Anything from
:09:27. > :09:31.?54 to ?270 to those that run without power the longest. That is
:09:32. > :09:38.over 96 hours. The total, more than ?1.1 million. If an starting to send
:09:39. > :09:44.out letters to homes effective `` effective this week. It says it is
:09:45. > :09:50.committed to handling the impact of the storm. If we do not care enough
:09:51. > :09:55.to let people know what is going on, they are going to have people
:09:56. > :09:59.speaking to the cameras, as I am. They feel BT could have done better,
:10:00. > :10:03.saying they should have had a similar process. A High Court case
:10:04. > :10:06.against Kettering Town has officially been dismissed after the
:10:07. > :10:10.club settled a debt owed to their former landlords. The Poppies paid
:10:11. > :10:13.around ?70,000 to the owners of Nene Park in Rushden for unpaid rent It
:10:14. > :10:16.means the club, which is 141 years old, can continue to play in the
:10:17. > :10:20.Southern League. Director Ken Samuel has told Look East he's delighted
:10:21. > :10:23.the club can move forward. Full time firefighters in this
:10:24. > :10:27.region went on strike again this morning. It follows a strike on
:10:28. > :10:29.Friday night in their row with the Government over retirement ages and
:10:30. > :10:33.pensions. Today's stoppage by members of the Fire Brigades Union
:10:34. > :10:36.lasted from six o'clock to eight o'clock. The Government wants to
:10:37. > :10:45.raise the retirement age from 5 to 60.
:10:46. > :10:46.I will be back at ten o'clock. Goodbye.
:10:47. > :10:47.morning in their row with the Government over retirement ages and
:10:48. > :10:50.pensions. The two hour stoppage by members of the Fire Brigades Union
:10:51. > :10:57.started at 6am. The
:10:58. > :11:04.still to come tonight, how safe are our level crossings? Within the last
:11:05. > :11:12.hour, Network Rail has been talking to MPs. We are live at Westminster.
:11:13. > :11:20.Plus, Norwich's for `` worst defeat since the war. How good as this
:11:21. > :11:23.season been for canary 's funds? There has been strong criticism
:11:24. > :11:26.today of a revolving door policy at the NHS, where managers are paid
:11:27. > :11:29.redundancy and then re`employed a few weeks later. Millions of pounds
:11:30. > :11:33.have been paid out in compensation as part of a re`organisation of the
:11:34. > :11:36.health service. The Health Minister and local MP Dan Poulter described
:11:37. > :11:40.the pay`outs as a waste of taxpayers' money that should have
:11:41. > :11:42.been spent on patients. More from him in a moment, but first here's
:11:43. > :11:56.Alex Dunlop. Until April this year, there were 16
:11:57. > :11:59.Primary Care Trusts in our region. But the government says they were
:12:00. > :12:01.too bureaucratic and replaced them with the same number of GP`led
:12:02. > :12:05.Clinical Commissioning Groups. It meant that 29 managers were made
:12:06. > :12:09.redundant at a cost to the NHS of almost ?3 million. Nine received a
:12:10. > :12:12.payoff of more than ?100,000. Four were paid more than ?150,000, and
:12:13. > :12:15.one manager's exit package was worth more than ?200,000. Now some of
:12:16. > :12:22.those made redundant have gone on to get other management jobs within the
:12:23. > :12:26.NHS. Those Primary Care Trusts were doing
:12:27. > :12:30.a good job and didn't need to be disbanded only for those same
:12:31. > :12:34.managers to then be redeployed elsewhere in the new National knelt
:12:35. > :12:41.`` National Health Service. That is a scandalous abuse of public money.
:12:42. > :12:45.Among those who rejoined the NHS is this man, Andrew Morgan. Currently
:12:46. > :12:49.interim head of the East of England Ambulance Trust, he was the chief
:12:50. > :12:52.executive of a cluster of local PCTs. NHS Norfolk set aside ?492,000
:12:53. > :12:56.to compensate him for losing that job. It is not known if he has taken
:12:57. > :13:00.it. All these payments are perfectly legal, but health unions say the
:13:01. > :13:06.payoffs are a scandalous waste of money.
:13:07. > :13:10.Unison members working in health in the East of England recognise the
:13:11. > :13:16.significance for cuts they are facing, the financial pressures, and
:13:17. > :13:19.they are outraged that taxpayers' money is going on this rather than
:13:20. > :13:22.on front line patient services. The Government is now under pressure
:13:23. > :13:26.to claw back those compensation payments if those who get them
:13:27. > :13:29.simply walk back into an NHS job a few weeks later.
:13:30. > :13:34.Earlier today I spoke to the Suffolk MP and Health Minister Dr Dan
:13:35. > :13:40.Poulter, and started by asking if it would be possible to claw back some
:13:41. > :13:43.of the money. We are certainly going to do our
:13:44. > :13:48.best to do so. The problem has arisen because in 2006 the previous
:13:49. > :13:52.Labour government awarded very senior managers of these sorts of
:13:53. > :13:56.profligate and unacceptable redundancy terms. We are now coming
:13:57. > :14:00.to terms with what that means, which is that you have front line staff
:14:01. > :14:03.feeling pressure on the front line, feeling as if they are being kicked
:14:04. > :14:07.in the teeth by these arrangements, and also patients that are sought
:14:08. > :14:10.changed. It is completely unacceptable and we are putting in
:14:11. > :14:16.measures that will mean in the future these sorts of redundancy
:14:17. > :14:19.payments to senior managers will not happen again.
:14:20. > :14:23.`` short changed. When the reorganisation was being discussed,
:14:24. > :14:29.did anyone say, it will cost us ?500 million in compensation, are we sure
:14:30. > :14:33.we want to do this two the reorganisation costs 1.5 `` is
:14:34. > :14:36.saving ?1.5 billion every year by reducing bureaucracy, the number of
:14:37. > :14:42.blunders and recording costs taking money out of the front line.
:14:43. > :14:47.`` reducing the number of managers. In the meantime, we inherited this
:14:48. > :14:51.significant set of redundancy terms that were unacceptable. I don't know
:14:52. > :14:55.what the previously the government were thinking when they allowed
:14:56. > :15:00.senior managers to be paid ?400,000 in redundancy. That is unacceptable
:15:01. > :15:04.and it's short`changing patients. That is why we are looking at how we
:15:05. > :15:08.can make sure this does not happen again. When we look at this what we
:15:09. > :15:11.see is that we have a lot of hard`working front line staff in the
:15:12. > :15:18.NHS. The union is right in condemning this, as well, because
:15:19. > :15:21.front line staff need more interesting `` more investment. We
:15:22. > :15:25.need more investment in front line staff, not wasting money on these
:15:26. > :15:30.profligate payments a consequence of the previous government.
:15:31. > :15:35.Do we pay people who are accountants and managers more than we pay
:15:36. > :15:38.doctors, and is that right two you are absolutely right to say that
:15:39. > :15:41.under the arrangement of the previous government we have a ring
:15:42. > :15:45.`` we have a situation where senior managers in the NHS are paid...
:15:46. > :15:48.I am sorry to interrupt you, you keep blaming the previous
:15:49. > :15:53.government, you have been in power for quite a few years. Shouldn't you
:15:54. > :15:58.have sorted this out sooner? That is why we put in place reforms
:15:59. > :16:02.to the NHS, which is saving ?1.5 billion, reducing the number of
:16:03. > :16:06.managers and administrators, around 20,000 in the NHS, to make sure we
:16:07. > :16:10.can invest more in front line staff. Part of that is also about reforming
:16:11. > :16:13.some of the excessive salaries we have inherited from the previous
:16:14. > :16:16.government. We are putting those measures in place and getting to
:16:17. > :16:21.grips with those unacceptable redundancy pillage `` payments that
:16:22. > :16:24.we inherited. We will make sure that we will do better as a government
:16:25. > :16:30.than Labour did. We will not put money into eye watering redundancy
:16:31. > :16:34.payments that are eye watering and compromise patient care.
:16:35. > :16:40.Doctor Dan Poulter, thank you very much.
:16:41. > :16:46.The head of Network Rail has told MPs this evening that the deaths of
:16:47. > :16:49.two girls on a level crossing in Essex was a fundamental watershed in
:16:50. > :16:52.the railway industry. It is almost eight years since Olivia Bazlington
:16:53. > :16:55.and Charlotte Thompson were hit by a train at Elsenham. Network Rail was
:16:56. > :16:59.fined ?1 million for breaching health and safety laws, and ever
:17:00. > :17:02.since the girls' parents have been fighting to make the industry take
:17:03. > :17:05.the issue of level crossing safety more seriously. Two weeks ago they
:17:06. > :17:09.gave evidence to MPs at westminster. Tonight it has been the turn of the
:17:10. > :17:19.industry to respond. Let's join Andrew Sinclair at Westminster.
:17:20. > :17:23.Network Rail was fined nearly ?1 million for health and safety
:17:24. > :17:27.breaches after the deaths of Olivia Bazlington and Charlotte Thompson.
:17:28. > :17:30.At the time the company said they had not been taking this issue very
:17:31. > :17:34.seriously but that things have changed.
:17:35. > :17:37.I would say that we are now in a different place. I have to pay
:17:38. > :17:45.tribute to the actions of the families at the time. Elsenham was a
:17:46. > :17:50.fundamental watershed for this business. We were in a much worse
:17:51. > :17:53.place several years ago about managing level crossings and we are
:17:54. > :17:58.better now, though there are still a way to go.
:17:59. > :18:01.He went on to save negligent management was responsible for the
:18:02. > :18:05.deaths at Houghton and he said that Network Rail has risk assessed every
:18:06. > :18:10.level crossing and you can see that assessment on the company's website.
:18:11. > :18:14.Apart from being more aware of dangers, what else are they doing to
:18:15. > :18:19.micro we have also heard from Her Majesty 's Inspectorate of Railways
:18:20. > :18:23.who said that Network Rail has set aside ?109 million to close 500
:18:24. > :18:27.level crossings across the country over the next five years.
:18:28. > :18:33.In the last five years, the company has closed 750 level crossings. Her
:18:34. > :18:38.Majesty 's Inspectorate of Railways said he would not be unpleasant
:18:39. > :18:43.about this, but after deaths like the ones we saw at Elsenham, the
:18:44. > :18:45.industry has woken up. Level crossings in Great Britain are
:18:46. > :18:52.ranked in terms of the European community as the safest in Europe.
:18:53. > :18:54.However, the key is all about continuous improvement.
:18:55. > :18:58.We also learned this evening that Network Rail are looking at the
:18:59. > :19:03.signage around level crossings, but the company did warn that crossing a
:19:04. > :19:05.railway will always be a dangerous business, indeed someone died today
:19:06. > :19:12.in the north`east of England after being hit by a train on a level
:19:13. > :19:15.crossing. In football, the Norwich City
:19:16. > :19:19.manager, Chris Hughton, says he is hurting after his team were hammered
:19:20. > :19:21.at the weekend. But he says he is the right man to turn the season
:19:22. > :19:24.around. Saturday's defeat at Manchester City
:19:25. > :19:29.was the worst since the team lost 7`0 at Sheffield Wednesday back in
:19:30. > :19:35.1938. This result leaves them in the Premier League relegation zone and
:19:36. > :19:40.without a win in four. Both teams are now just wanting the
:19:41. > :19:45.whistle to go. Norwich's worst league defeat in 75 years.
:19:46. > :19:48.Time is ticking, sadly, for Chris Hughton.
:19:49. > :19:53.He put on a brave face, but this was a miserable day.
:19:54. > :19:58.At the moment it is hurting, we have let them down today.
:19:59. > :20:01.Sergio Aguero scores! As manager, I take full responsible
:20:02. > :20:05.at it. David Silva are arriving!
:20:06. > :20:14.2`0! We have the choice but to be far better next week.
:20:15. > :20:19.3`0! When it rains, it pours. And for five days at Bellevue job
:20:20. > :20:23.goals. Four at United, seven at city, hapless Norwich humour lead
:20:24. > :20:31.and humbled by successive trips to Manchester. Fans gave the club shop
:20:32. > :20:38.a wide berth. A lot of fans are very angry. Yes.
:20:39. > :20:41.No fight, no guts, it was disgusting. I think it is time for
:20:42. > :20:46.Chris Hughton to go. The danger would be to have a knee
:20:47. > :20:49.jerk reaction. There are other clubs for Chris Hughton to go to, and if
:20:50. > :21:00.we're stinted leave the danger is we have nothing to fill the space. ``
:21:01. > :21:04.and if we asked him to leave, the danger is.
:21:05. > :21:07.We have to stay positive, but it is not happening.
:21:08. > :21:13.Norwich are not much worse off than 12 months ago, the same number of
:21:14. > :21:17.wins, but, crucially, more defeats ` six compared with four after ten
:21:18. > :21:21.games last season. Fewer points, eight compared with ten, leaving
:21:22. > :21:24.them 18th in the relegation zone. I have confidence in my own ability
:21:25. > :21:29.and I have confidence in the changing room. We have been in this
:21:30. > :21:34.position before, last season, where the start was not as good, but where
:21:35. > :21:38.we have not been as on the back of a defeat like today.
:21:39. > :21:45.Not a record Premier League defeats ` that came nearly 20 years ago.
:21:46. > :21:49.Ipswich thrashed, 9`0 at Man Utd. Both Ipswich and Norwich ended up
:21:50. > :21:54.going down that year. If Norwich are to avoid a similar fate, results
:21:55. > :21:59.must improve. Chris Hughton spent millions reinforcing his team.
:22:00. > :21:59.Performances have not lived up to raised expectations.
:22:00. > :22:09.A horrible day for Chris Hughton. I think most of us recycle our
:22:10. > :22:10.household rubbish, but it's not so long ago that things were very
:22:11. > :22:15.different. Not in your house? We recycle it and
:22:16. > :22:18.get more back then! He goes to the recycling centre and brings back
:22:19. > :22:23.loads of stuff that we really do not need!
:22:24. > :22:28.20 years ago recycling rates were just 4% ` now they are 54% and
:22:29. > :22:32.rising. 20 years ago we hadn't heard of
:22:33. > :22:35.recycling centres, either. But, in fact, the first one had just
:22:36. > :22:44.been opened in Milton Keynes, from where Fae Southwell reports.
:22:45. > :22:49.It is called a factory for a reason. Recyclable waste is resorted here
:22:50. > :22:55.with absolute precision. It starts out as a mound of rubbish that is
:22:56. > :22:58.loaded onto conveyor belts. Paddles shuffle the items forcing
:22:59. > :23:02.heavy`metal food tins and drinks cans to fall through the gaps.
:23:03. > :23:06.Cardboard and newspapers are pushed to the front, while jets of air
:23:07. > :23:10.separate different coloured plastics.
:23:11. > :23:14.I think there is scepticism that we do not recycle what we take in, but
:23:15. > :23:17.we truly do. Some people think that by putting a few things in the
:23:18. > :23:21.recycling it doesn't make a difference but it makes a massive
:23:22. > :23:25.difference. Recycling was popular in wartime `
:23:26. > :23:34.the model make do and mend. But it fell out of failure `` favour in the
:23:35. > :23:39.consumer years of the early 90s. Bill Oddie launched a pilot scheme
:23:40. > :23:44.covering just 5000 homes. At the time only 4% of all household waste
:23:45. > :23:48.was recycled. Now in Milton Keynes it is more than 50%.
:23:49. > :23:54.Extremely forward`thinking, it took a lot of courage for the Council is
:23:55. > :23:59.to agree to set up a scheme, it was risky and costly but it has paid
:24:00. > :24:02.dividends. Everyone supports recycling.
:24:03. > :24:08.At this factory, they sought 16 tonnes of waste per hour, up to
:24:09. > :24:12.150,000 tonnes per year. Recycling has huge benefits. It protects
:24:13. > :24:19.finite resources, like oil, used to make plastic. The authorities also
:24:20. > :24:24.are saving by not paying landfill tax. The council now wants to boost
:24:25. > :24:29.recycling to 70% of all household waste. It is building a new ?140
:24:30. > :24:34.million facility to processed rubbish which may have inadvertently
:24:35. > :24:37.gone into the Blackburn instead. Many people do not realise how
:24:38. > :24:42.psychical waste management is. In the summer there will be more garden
:24:43. > :24:45.waste but at Christmas this pile of paper, plastic and bottles will be
:24:46. > :24:50.up to the ceiling. This month, the factory celebrates
:24:51. > :24:56.20 years in operation. It is holding an open day for the public on
:24:57. > :24:59.November the 16th. Looking at that conveyor belt, I am
:25:00. > :25:05.not sure what he would bring home! Luckily, not that kind of stuff! We
:25:06. > :25:11.get an off a lot of wood and things brought back.
:25:12. > :25:14.I am good to be in trouble! `` I am going to be.
:25:15. > :25:18.Today we had some rain arrived first thing but then it was a nice,
:25:19. > :25:22.November day. Quite blustery at times but from the satellite picture
:25:23. > :25:26.you can see this afternoon was largely clear skies and a lot of
:25:27. > :25:31.sunshine. The clear skies at the moment mean the temperatures are
:25:32. > :25:36.tumbling. We are already down to around two Celsius. We're looking at
:25:37. > :25:40.a ground frost in rural areas and perhaps a local air frost for some
:25:41. > :25:45.of us. Then it will change because this area of cloud and rain pushes
:25:46. > :25:49.in. By five or six o'clock in the morning it will probably be ringing
:25:50. > :25:55.across much of the region. Tomorrow, as we head into the early hours,
:25:56. > :25:59.temperatures rising a little bit. At that point it looks like we will
:26:00. > :26:04.have light winds, but they are picking up as this system rattles
:26:05. > :26:08.towards us. This brings cloud and rain but moves east very quickly. We
:26:09. > :26:12.will sort of cloudy with outbreaks of rain, but as the morning goes on
:26:13. > :26:15.we will start to see all of that edging into the North Sea with that
:26:16. > :26:22.weather front and brighter skies following behind with sunshine.
:26:23. > :26:27.Temperatures tomorrow, similar to today, actually, around 10 Celsius
:26:28. > :26:30.at best, but it will feel chillier because of the cloud and rain first
:26:31. > :26:42.thing and also because of the winds, which will be up lustily `` blustery
:26:43. > :26:47.Westerly. In the east, eventually the rain and cloud should clear,
:26:48. > :26:52.probably clearing the East Coast by 4pm. Then it is a dry, clear end to
:26:53. > :26:59.the day. What lies ahead for the rest of the week? Tuesday night, a
:27:00. > :27:02.dry, clear start, but then the next system arriving during Tuesday
:27:03. > :27:07.night, bringing more rain. That looks as if it could stay with us
:27:08. > :27:10.through Wednesday. There is a bit of doubt as to how far north the rain
:27:11. > :27:14.will spread and how long it will stick around, but as it stands it
:27:15. > :27:17.looks like the bulk of Wednesday will be cloudy with outbreaks of
:27:18. > :27:32.rain. Once that has gone, Thursday and Friday are looking better, quite
:27:33. > :27:34.blustery. Thursday, any showers should be few and far between and
:27:35. > :27:37.many of us should enjoy decent spells of sunshine. On Friday,
:27:38. > :27:39.probably a few more showers around and some of them on the heavy side.
:27:40. > :27:42.Again, not for everybody. That is it from all of us here,
:27:43. > :27:53.thank you for your company. Good night.
