:00:10. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to Look East. On the programme tonight: He killed a
:00:16. > :00:18.man in a row over a parking space. Tonight, Alan Watts is starting a
:00:19. > :00:21.five`year prison sentence. Hundreds gather for the funeral of a
:00:22. > :00:25.26`year`old man found murdered in a Northampton churchyard.
:00:26. > :00:35.An extra ?6 million for a new city railway station.
:00:36. > :00:44.We go behind`the`scenes at Sizewell's new centre designed to
:00:45. > :00:47.deal with an emergency. And he's just a few hours away from
:00:48. > :00:51.being the first double amputee to reach the South Pole.
:00:52. > :00:55.Good evening. A pensioner who killed a man in a
:00:56. > :00:59.row over a parking space has been jailed for five years. Alan Watts
:01:00. > :01:04.was caught on CCTV punching Brian Holmes in the car park of Asda in
:01:05. > :01:08.Biggleswade. The punch knocked Mr Holmes to the floor and he later
:01:09. > :01:12.died in hospital. Today, a jury found the 65`year`old guilty of
:01:13. > :01:15.manslaughter. Neil Bradford has been following the case and joins us from
:01:16. > :01:25.Luton Crown Court. Neil, it didn't take them long to reach a verdict.
:01:26. > :01:29.No, after a trial lasting three days it took them just three hours to
:01:30. > :01:34.reject Alan Watts' version of events, that he was acting in self
:01:35. > :01:37.defence. There was grasping and cries of, yes, in the public
:01:38. > :01:43.galleries. The four`man gave the jury's verdict to the court. They
:01:44. > :01:46.accepted the prosecution's version of events, that this was an
:01:47. > :01:54.unprovoked attack with unnecessary violence, a moment of madness that
:01:55. > :01:59.changed people's lives forever. It lasted a few seconds but was a
:02:00. > :02:02.confrontation with fatal consequences. 64`year`old Brian
:02:03. > :02:06.Holmes had just been given the all clear from cancer. On the 3rd of
:02:07. > :02:10.August, he went shopping with his wife, Christine, at their local
:02:11. > :02:15.supermarket in Biggleswade. Also shopping at Asda on that day,
:02:16. > :02:20.65`year`old Alan Watts, on the right. He parked alongside Brian,
:02:21. > :02:24.who was using a disabled space and he lost his temper because he
:02:25. > :02:30.wrongly believed he was not entitled to park there. CCTV recorded what
:02:31. > :02:34.happened next. After making a sarcastic comment, Alan Watts
:02:35. > :02:39.stepped out of the car and punched Brian Holmes, first with his right
:02:40. > :02:42.arm, then with his left. As Mr Holmes fell to the floor, Alan Watts
:02:43. > :02:49.got back in his car and drove away. The following day, Brian Holmes died
:02:50. > :02:55.from serious head injuries. Today, outside court, his family explained
:02:56. > :02:59.the impact of his death. Brian was deprived of his life and our family
:03:00. > :03:03.have been deprived of a loving husband, father, stepfather and
:03:04. > :03:10.grandad. Many more people have been deprived of a good and loyal friend.
:03:11. > :03:15.Brian was, in every sense of the word, a gentleman, a caring, loving
:03:16. > :03:23.man with no enemies and many friends. He was a man for whom
:03:24. > :03:26.caring was second nature. Alan Watts claimed he was acting in self
:03:27. > :03:31.defence but the prosecution say it was an unprovoked attack and an
:03:32. > :03:35.extraordinary show of violence, a moment of madness that changed
:03:36. > :03:42.people's lives forever. Today, the jury agreed. This shows that you
:03:43. > :03:47.have to think before you act and speak. A family have lost their
:03:48. > :03:53.beloveds gentleman. And that is shown today. Just as he tried to
:03:54. > :03:57.hide from the cameras, Alan Watts tried to hide the truth. But he must
:03:58. > :04:04.now pay the price with a five`year jail term.
:04:05. > :04:09.Giving evidence yesterday, Alan Watts said he was sorry for what had
:04:10. > :04:14.happened. Sentencing him, the judge said this was a case of manslaughter
:04:15. > :04:20.akin to a road rage. He told him he had the opportunity to leave but
:04:21. > :04:24.instead he did not, and there were serious consequences. After the
:04:25. > :04:28.verdict, I heard applause from the family room, as the prosecutor
:04:29. > :04:33.entered, such is their relief that the case is over. But it is not just
:04:34. > :04:37.their lives that have been ruined. Alan Watts' family face their first
:04:38. > :04:39.Christmas without him. A 16`year`old cyclist has died
:04:40. > :04:42.following an accident in Cambridge city centre last night. Beth
:04:43. > :04:46.McDermot was involved in a crash with two cars on Milton Road just
:04:47. > :04:49.before 7pm. She was taken to Addenbrooke's hospital but later
:04:50. > :04:52.died. Long Road Sixth Form College says the student was popular with
:04:53. > :04:57.everyone and was committed to her studies. Police are appealing for
:04:58. > :05:00.witnesses. A Luton man has appeared in court
:05:01. > :05:03.after heroin with an estimated street value of ?40 million was
:05:04. > :05:07.found crammed into the bodywork of a Jaguar car. The National Crime
:05:08. > :05:11.Agency says the car was discovered in Essex on Friday evening.
:05:12. > :05:15.34`year`old Israr Khan from Luton, and a man from Bradford, have been
:05:16. > :05:22.charged with conspiracy to supply heroin.
:05:23. > :05:26.Dirty, poorly maintained and a potential risk to patients. Just
:05:27. > :05:31.some of the findings of inspectors who assessed a GP surgery in
:05:32. > :05:34.Peterborough. The Lincoln Road practice was one of ten across the
:05:35. > :05:42.country which was found to have "very serious failings.
:05:43. > :05:49.This is one of the worst GP surgeries in the country, saying
:05:50. > :05:54.inspectors, with failings that put patients at risk. Those seeing their
:05:55. > :06:01.doctors today were surprised and stunned. Shocking, surprised, very
:06:02. > :06:07.surprised. Does it put you off coming here? Definitely. I need to
:06:08. > :06:12.have a think about it again. I did not think it was like that. The
:06:13. > :06:15.doctors I see here are really good. That inspectors criticised the
:06:16. > :06:20.surgery for being visibly dusty, poorly maintained, with inadequate
:06:21. > :06:27.infection control. Staff were not familiar with fire alarms and risk
:06:28. > :06:29.assessments were not in place. We work closely with NHS England and
:06:30. > :06:34.their Clinical Commissioning Group to try to improve the quality of
:06:35. > :06:38.care. But if we do not find any improvement, we do have enforcement
:06:39. > :06:44.action. We will not tolerate very poor and dangerous practice, and we
:06:45. > :06:46.have had to take action already Across the street, planning
:06:47. > :06:51.permission has been granted for a brand`new surgery. But for the
:06:52. > :06:55.drawings to become a building, GPs here say they need the go`ahead from
:06:56. > :06:59.the NHS. In a statement, the practice say they're building is
:07:00. > :07:02.more than 100 years old, and they do not think it is appropriate for
:07:03. > :07:05.Ponty first century health care. Ponty first century health care
:07:06. > :07:10.They say since the inspection they have had two deep cleans and brought
:07:11. > :07:15.their infection control up to date. Those in charge decided not to go on
:07:16. > :07:20.camera today. What does in charge of a surgery now under scrutiny. ``
:07:21. > :07:23.doctors in charge of the surgery now under scrutiny.
:07:24. > :07:26." The East Anglian Air Ambulance grounded its helicopters today for
:07:27. > :07:27.engineers to carry out an emergency inspection.
:07:28. > :07:31.The aircraft, based in Cambridge and Norwich, are the same type as the
:07:32. > :07:35.one involved in a crash in Glasgow earlier this month. They were out of
:07:36. > :07:39.action from 9.30pm last night but cleared for use again at 3pm today.
:07:40. > :07:45.The charity says ground crews responded to all call`outs whilst
:07:46. > :07:47.the helicopters were unavailable. Detectives investigating the
:07:48. > :07:52.exploitation of migrant workers in the Fens have arrested four more
:07:53. > :07:55.people. Two women from King's Lynn and two men from Wisbech have all
:07:56. > :08:00.been questioned on suspicion of fraud. They've since been released
:08:01. > :08:07.on police bail. It's the latest development in the operation which
:08:08. > :08:10.saw nine people arrested in October. The Deputy Prime Minister was in
:08:11. > :08:13.Cambridge today to sign a deal which will lead to the city having more
:08:14. > :08:17.control over its economic development. Nick Clegg said the so
:08:18. > :08:21.called city deal would create thousands of new jobs and speed up
:08:22. > :08:30.the building of homes and transport projects.
:08:31. > :08:33.This is a relatively new idea which the government believes will speed
:08:34. > :08:39.up growth and bring major economic edifice to Cambridge. This morning,
:08:40. > :08:43.the Deputy Prime Minister was at a local company that develops remote
:08:44. > :08:49.access software for computers. City Deal status, he said, would
:08:50. > :08:53.encourage or firms like this. Cambridge will be able to grow
:08:54. > :08:57.faster in future, build more affordable homes for people in
:08:58. > :08:59.Cambridge, invest in infrastructure, railway
:09:00. > :09:04.infrastructure, road infrastructure, which needs to keep pace with
:09:05. > :09:09.growth. Cambridge can do that in the future without waiting for the green
:09:10. > :09:14.light from Whitehall. City Deal status gives an area more of a say
:09:15. > :09:18.over development. It will be able to apply for extra grants and borrowing
:09:19. > :09:22.for infrastructure projects at preferential rates of interest.
:09:23. > :09:25.Historically, we have been waiting for government to recognise this and
:09:26. > :09:29.do the job for us. It has not happened. This gives us the
:09:30. > :09:34.opportunity to be given the resources to get on with the job.
:09:35. > :09:40.The full details are being worked on but they are expected to create
:09:41. > :09:45.45,000 jobs and help to build 33,000 new homes. There was another boost
:09:46. > :09:50.for the city today. Government announced ?6 million to go towards
:09:51. > :09:54.the new rail station for Cambridge. It is an important project. It helps
:09:55. > :09:58.to do everything we are here to do today, in terms of making the
:09:59. > :10:03.economy of Cambridge work, but it actually does something that gives
:10:04. > :10:07.better access to this great economy. The mood was one of optimism. There
:10:08. > :10:13.is talk that these announcements could bring more than ?1 billion of
:10:14. > :10:17.investment to the city. Talking about investment is one thing, but
:10:18. > :10:22.it will only be when jobs are created and things start to be built
:10:23. > :10:25.that we will see if city Deal status has really worked.
:10:26. > :10:29.Around 300 people have gathered today for the funeral of Jamie
:10:30. > :10:32.McMahon, whose body was found in a Northampton churchyard in October.
:10:33. > :10:36.The 26`year`old snooker club worker had suffered head injuries. There
:10:37. > :10:45.were so many well`wishers at the service, some had to listen from
:10:46. > :10:50.outside, as Louise Hubball reports. It was a funeral for a young man
:10:51. > :10:56.that friends and family say was taken to soon. It was a funeral full
:10:57. > :11:02.of personal touches. Jane in Marne, making his final journey in a camper
:11:03. > :11:07.van. `` Jamie McMahon. Friends and family wrote tributes in marker pen
:11:08. > :11:13.on his casket. The congregation was 300 strong and full of young faces,
:11:14. > :11:19.lining the driveway. Described by friends as a ray of sunshine, Jamie
:11:20. > :11:25.McMahon was just 26. His ordeal was found in Saint Giles Churchyard in
:11:26. > :11:28.October. `` his body. Police think he may have been attacked after a
:11:29. > :11:34.night out while taking a short cut. There were so many here today, each
:11:35. > :11:39.reflecting on their own memories. More tributes were visible when the
:11:40. > :11:43.casket was lifted into the chapel. There was not enough room for
:11:44. > :11:48.everyone inside, so some spilled out and listened through an open
:11:49. > :11:52.doorway. At one point, spontaneous applause could be heard rippling
:11:53. > :11:56.through the congregation. And there were more personal touches. The
:11:57. > :11:58.messages again and again read that Jamie McMahon will never be
:11:59. > :12:06.forgotten. Two men aged 33 and 19 forgotten. Two men aged 33 and 19
:12:07. > :12:09.have been charged with his murder. With links to royalty and historic
:12:10. > :12:13.connections to Luton, the Wenlock Jug was one of the town's most
:12:14. > :12:17.treasured possessions, until it was stolen last summer. But after a
:12:18. > :12:21.lengthy police investigation the jug was recovered. And today, as Anna
:12:22. > :12:29.Todd reports, it returned to its rightful place, back on display in
:12:30. > :12:34.the Stockswood Museum. The Wenlock Jug, back where it
:12:35. > :12:41.should be and hopefully where it will stay. Prized by Luton, pinched
:12:42. > :12:47.by a burglar, picked up by the police, and is now home at last It
:12:48. > :12:52.is good that it came back because we were worried about it. It is
:12:53. > :12:56.precious and it represents us for a long time. The people that stole it
:12:57. > :13:01.should not have done that because it could have been gone forever. There
:13:02. > :13:06.was always a doubt in my mind that maybe someone would realise it was
:13:07. > :13:09.not made of solid bronze and would melt it, throw it in a river or
:13:10. > :13:16.something. But I always felt in my heart that we would get it act one
:13:17. > :13:20.day. This was the moment when a man used a drain cover to smash and grab
:13:21. > :13:26.the medieval relic. A Crimewatch appeal led the police to a man in
:13:27. > :13:31.Surrey. We executed warrants and found the Wenlock Jug in the Garrard
:13:32. > :13:37.`ish, along with a small drugs factory, some stun guns and
:13:38. > :13:41.bullet`proof vests. At over 500 years old, it has been on quite a
:13:42. > :13:51.journey. Do you know, I feel I have seen this somewhere before. 480 000.
:13:52. > :13:55.journey. Do you know, I feel I have seen this somewhere before. 480,000.
:13:56. > :14:04.seen this somewhere before. 480 000. They are trying to decide whether
:14:05. > :14:09.half a million is too much. ?500,000. Last chance. Any more? It
:14:10. > :14:14.?500,000. Last chance. Any more It was bound for New York, but an
:14:15. > :14:18.export and stopped it in its tracks, allowing Luton Museum a chance.
:14:19. > :14:24.?750,000, and worth every penny. ?750,000, and worth every penny
:14:25. > :14:28.This is one of three in the UK of a similar period and royal
:14:29. > :14:32.connotation. One in the British Museum, one in the Victoria and
:14:33. > :14:38.Albert, and we have got one. We are so lucky. While its attacker is
:14:39. > :14:43.behind bars, the jug is back behind glass, very tough glass.
:14:44. > :14:46.In the varsity rugby match at Twickenham this afternoon, Cambridge
:14:47. > :14:50.University were soundly beaten by Oxford. Although it was tight up to
:14:51. > :14:54.half time, in the second half, despite having their scrum half sent
:14:55. > :14:57.off for foul play, Oxford pulled away to win the match 33`15. It s
:14:58. > :15:05.away to win the match 33`15. It's Oxford's fourth win in succession.
:15:06. > :15:08.BBC Radio Cambridgeshire is holding a special debate tonight looking
:15:09. > :15:10.into the controversial plans for a solar farm on land at Newborough
:15:11. > :15:13.near Peterborough. The City Council's leader, Marco Cereste, and
:15:14. > :15:16.MP Stewart Jackson will be taking part in the discussion which will be
:15:17. > :15:24.broadcast on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire tomorrow night at
:15:25. > :15:27.7pm. You can also hear highlights tomorrow morning on the Breakfast
:15:28. > :15:30.Show with Paul Stainton from 6am. And we'll bring have a report on
:15:31. > :15:31.that debate tonight at 10.25pm. Those

:15:34. > :15:39.street. PC Dibell is the first police officer in more than 20 years
:15:40. > :15:42.to receive the award. Still to come tonight: The
:15:43. > :15:46.shotputter training for the Olympic Games in 2020.
:15:47. > :15:50.And Duncan Slater from Norfolk is just a few hours away from being the
:15:51. > :15:58.first double amputee to reach the South Pole.
:15:59. > :16:01.After the Fukushima disaster two years ago, the owner of eight
:16:02. > :16:07.nuclear power stations in the UK agreed to spend ?180 million on
:16:08. > :16:10.extra safety measures. The first result of EDF's investment was
:16:11. > :16:19.opened today near the Sizewell B plant in Suffolk. It's cost ?12
:16:20. > :16:25.million and as you'd expect for that money it can withstand earthquakes.
:16:26. > :16:31.The first emergency response centre to be built in the UK since the
:16:32. > :16:36.Fukushima disaster. Today it was opened, a mile from Sizewell B, by
:16:37. > :16:43.the global head of EDF. This centre is intended as an additional line of
:16:44. > :16:51.defence. It will enhance our capability to recover during and
:16:52. > :16:55.after an extreme natural event. There was a review of UK nuclear
:16:56. > :16:59.safety after the Fukushima incident in Japan two years ago. A tsunami
:17:00. > :17:05.caused nuclear meltdowns and the release of radioactive materials.
:17:06. > :17:08.The Office for UK Regulation found UK stations had no fundamental
:17:09. > :17:15.weaknesses but recommended robust off`site back`up. `` Nuclear
:17:16. > :17:19.Regulation. There's already an emergency control centre at Sizewell
:17:20. > :17:23.B itself. This place is in addition to that. The company says it has the
:17:24. > :17:28.ability to take control of the station in a dire emergency. There's
:17:29. > :17:32.a control centre and lots of serious kit. Vehicles carrying diesel
:17:33. > :17:38.generators ` capable of driving through floods. Cutting equipment,
:17:39. > :17:42.firefighting gear... Why build this place? We're not in an earthquake
:17:43. > :17:45.zone and don't intend to get tsunamis... The point is to make
:17:46. > :17:49.sure we can respond to whatever may happen. Some events you can't
:17:50. > :17:53.predict. We've worked on the principle of what the worst thing is
:17:54. > :18:00.that could happen and how we'd be best placed to respond. We want to
:18:01. > :18:07.protect the public, our environment and our personnel. Not everybody's
:18:08. > :18:10.convinced. If there was an emergency around here there would be absolute
:18:11. > :18:21.chaos. No fancy emergency centre will hide that. It won't do a great
:18:22. > :18:23.deal to mitigate the impact of an accident. Sizewell B continued to
:18:24. > :18:27.generate during last week's exceptional storm surge. EDF says
:18:28. > :18:32.the new centre will only add to its resilience.
:18:33. > :18:37.It's been a fairy tale year for the 19`year`old Norfolk shot putter
:18:38. > :18:40.Sophie McKinna. She's broken a British junior record which stood
:18:41. > :18:46.for 30 years, won a Silver medal at the European Under 20 Championships
:18:47. > :18:50.and made her British senior debut. Sophie has also been included on a
:18:51. > :18:54.list of athletes who have the potential to win a medal at the 2020
:18:55. > :19:00.Olympics. She's coached by the former world strongest man Geoff
:19:01. > :19:03.Capes. She may be Britain's number one shotputter, but Sophie McKinna
:19:04. > :19:07.doesn't escape the basic chores. Today it's a short, sharp training
:19:08. > :19:11.session for the 19`year`old. Normally a session's a little but
:19:12. > :19:15.longer, but because of the weather I don't think we'll be doing too much
:19:16. > :19:19.more! ?? WHITE There are few girls as strong as Sophie ` and her coach
:19:20. > :19:23.knows a thing or two about strength. Former World's Strongest Man Geoff
:19:24. > :19:28.Capes was also a shot put champion. He's been working with her since she
:19:29. > :19:33.was 12. I saw a bit of me in her. This aggressive, nasty little piece
:19:34. > :19:38.of work! She wanted to throw the shot out the park but didn't know
:19:39. > :19:41.how. It's just about channelling aggression and everything else, then
:19:42. > :19:46.developing her over a period of time. Sophie's made big strides this
:19:47. > :19:50.year ` making her senior British debut, winning a Silver medal at the
:19:51. > :19:54.European Under 20 Championships and breaking a 30 year British junior
:19:55. > :19:58.record. To cap it all, she's just received funding for the next four
:19:59. > :20:02.years ` deemed as having potential to win a medal at the 2020 Olympics.
:20:03. > :20:07.I just really, really enjoy the sport. As soon as I picked up the
:20:08. > :20:11.shot, I knew it was something I'd really enjoy to do. Basically, I
:20:12. > :20:14.just love athletics ` the atmosphere at all of the different events, not
:20:15. > :20:19.just my own. I've always been a competitive person in whatever I do.
:20:20. > :20:25.30 centimetres... Come on! Fire it up! Sophie's strength is phenomenal.
:20:26. > :20:29.She can lift more than current British weightlifters of her age. If
:20:30. > :20:32.there's a downside, it's people's image of shotputters ` particularly
:20:33. > :20:37.in a world dominated by looks and appearance. If you're a little bit
:20:38. > :20:41.physical... Bigger than most girls... They can look at you
:20:42. > :20:45.sideways... Blinkered. They haven't got a clue about sport, in the
:20:46. > :20:52.realistic sense. They don't realise the effort and time that people will
:20:53. > :20:55.place on training and commitment. Obviously, I'm slightly bigger than
:20:56. > :20:59.the average human being. Slightly stronger, too. But once you have a
:21:00. > :21:02.conversation with somebody, there's always really supportive of what you
:21:03. > :21:07.do. They're interested and even come back to you to ask how you're doing.
:21:08. > :21:11.It's things like that... To me, it's not a massive problem. You have to
:21:12. > :21:16.make sacrifices to get places in your sport. One of them, I suppose,
:21:17. > :21:22.is what you look like. The 19`year`old's target next year is
:21:23. > :21:37.the Commonwealth Games. Her coach won it twice in his heyday. Sophie
:21:38. > :21:56.is keen to lay down her own marker. Very confident! Those weights would
:21:57. > :21:58.crush me! Congratulations to golfer Charley
:21:59. > :22:02.Hull from Northamptonshire who is on the short list for the BBC's Young
:22:03. > :22:05.Sports Personality of the Year award. Charley's been selected as
:22:06. > :22:08.one of three from an original short list of ten. The 17`year`old turned
:22:09. > :22:12.professional this year and made her debut in the Solheim Cup. The winner
:22:13. > :22:14.will be announced at a ceremony in Leeds on Sunday night. Good luck to
:22:15. > :22:18.her! A former RAF gunner who hopes to be
:22:19. > :22:21.the first double amputee to walk to the South Pole is just hours away
:22:22. > :22:25.from making history. Duncan Slater, from Norfolk, lost both his legs in
:22:26. > :22:28.an explosion in Afghanistan. Duncan and 11 other injured servicemen and
:22:29. > :22:32.women set off for Cape Town three weeks ago ` and then on to Novo
:22:33. > :22:47.Airbase in Antarctica. From there, they were flown to the start line
:22:48. > :22:51.200 miles from the South Pole. The start line of the South Pole allied
:22:52. > :22:55.challenge 12 days ago. Three teams racing to be the first to the bottom
:22:56. > :22:58.of the world. Many of these disabled veterans have lost limbs in war. One
:22:59. > :23:01.is completely blind. After this roadside explosion in Afghanistan,
:23:02. > :23:05.Duncan Slater lost both his legs. After months of training, tonight
:23:06. > :23:09.he's in a tent, in a gale, just 16 miles from the South Pole. It's 70%
:23:10. > :23:15.mental. 20% physical. 10% luck. You can see that when you get here. I
:23:16. > :23:26.can't wait. To be able to say we made it. We've worked really hard.
:23:27. > :23:29.The teams are skiing up to ten hours a day, pulling these behind them.
:23:30. > :23:31.Temperatures are dipping to `45 Celsius. Seven days in, those
:23:32. > :23:36.extreme conditions took their toll on some and a decision was made to
:23:37. > :23:42.suspend the race. With advice from my medical team, we felt it was
:23:43. > :23:52.sensible to stop here. It doesn't mean it's over. We proceed to the
:23:53. > :23:57.last checkpoint. We're still skiing. That decision lifted morale. As one
:23:58. > :24:02.united team, they pushed on. This Norfolk`based charity helps injured
:24:03. > :24:07.service personnel back into work. That's where they started. This is
:24:08. > :24:12.the track. They dreamt up this adventure. We're showcasing these
:24:13. > :24:17.individuals coming back from injury and adversity. Duncan is the first
:24:18. > :24:30.double amputee to get to the South Pole. Amazing. Prince Harry has also
:24:31. > :24:35.joined us. Outstanding. Fantastic. He's strong as an ox and helping to
:24:36. > :24:41.pull it all. Great to have him in the tent! He skips around like a
:24:42. > :24:44.ballerina! Tent`mates and team`mates together, Duncan and his fellow
:24:45. > :24:57.veterans should reach the Pole tomorrow afternoon ` Friday the
:24:58. > :25:10.13th... Lucky for them! It looks like hard work!
:25:11. > :25:22.Now for the weather. Chance of some rain on the way. High pressure being
:25:23. > :25:31.pushed eastwards. Milder Atlantic air coming our way. Thicker cloud in
:25:32. > :25:40.the west producing patchy rain. High level cloud ahead of it.
:25:41. > :25:58.Temperatures ` lows of four or five Celsius. Isolated pockets of frost.
:25:59. > :26:00.The breeze starts to freshen. Tomorrow will be governed by two
:26:01. > :26:06.weather fronts. Some rain but not too heavy. Expect
:26:07. > :26:32.a cloudy day with rain at times. Light and patchy. It should start to
:26:33. > :26:40.clear away. Drier and possibly brighter interlude. It will feel
:26:41. > :26:53.slightly less cold. You might feel a little chilly. Rain late afternoon.
:26:54. > :26:56.Much of this out of the way on Saturday.
:26:57. > :27:11.Rain overnight on Saturday. Breezy through the night. Fairly bright but
:27:12. > :27:21.some cloud around. It will stay largely dry. Overnight rain Friday.
:27:22. > :27:35.By Saturday night, another spell of rain. Out of the way on Sunday.
:27:36. > :27:39.Here's the barometer. Thank you. Goodbye.
