He fell 800 feet from a mountain path and survived. Tonight a | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
Cambridge man talks about this rescue. When you can feel yourself | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
not touching anything, you feel you've had it. Good evening. Also | :00:24. | :00:32. | |

mapping the night sky with stargazing live. Good evening. We | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
begin tonight with the dramatic rescue of a Cambridge man after he | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
fell 800 feet from a cliff edge and survived. Ollie Daniel was walking | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
in the Cairngorms in Scotland along Ben Macdui when he slipped. The | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
25`year`old was airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but says | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
the injuries he sustained won't put him off mountaineering. Today he | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
spoke exclusively to our reporter Kevin Keane about his experience. | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
Battered, bruised and with a broken wrist and cracked ribs but | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
incredibly, he is here to tell the tale. This mountain rescue footage | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
shows him being airlifted to safety. Hours earlier, he'd been | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
walking along the plateau when this is rescue footage shows him being | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
airlifted to safety. Hours earlier, he'd been walking along the plateau | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
when the snow underneath his feet suddenly gave there are sections of | :01:49. | :02:00. | |
sliding and freefall and the sections of the freefall, when you | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
have gone over a cliff and you feel yourself not touching anything, you | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
think you've had it. Still on top, his dad and his friend | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
called for help and after an hour and a half of searching, they took | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
the difficult decision to take themselves to safety and walk away. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Immediately afterwards, I wanted to go after him and had to stop myself | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
from doing that. I wanted to carry on looking for him and had to stop | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
myself doing that. You must not do those things so it was a tough one | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
but it had to be done. The conditions when they set off | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
worldwide but these were experienced mountaineers who had taken all the | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
safety equipment they could. This is how astonishing it is that the 00 | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
foot fall did not kill him. The fourth Bridge is around 360 feet so | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
he fell from a distance of more than double its height. The site of a | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
helicopter overhead was a massive relief. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
By that time I had hunkered down in the sleeping bag to try and wait it | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
out and yes, when the first player went up and showed me their close, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
that was a relief. None of this has put the party of | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
what they were training for they still plan an expedition up | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
pressure's tallest mountain later this year. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Prostitution on the streets of Luton has fallen dramatically in the last | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
12 months according to Bedfordshire Police. In January 2013 they were | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
receiving more than 40 complaints a month about sex workers in the | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Hightown area. But following a year`long crackdown, that's now | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
fallen to around seven. Police say during the operation almost 200 kerb | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
crawlers have been stopped and 4 of them arrested. A further 79 people | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
were arrested for other offences including robbery, drugs and | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
attempted murder. Anna Todd spent the evening with officers patrolling | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Luton last night. It is about dark alleys, lonely | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
parks, quiet, empty streets. Searching for the people who keep | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Luton's sex trade is ticking over. We believe that sex workers picked | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
up a client. By going to go along and find out what's going on. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
For the next seven hours, operation turtle is on the tale of the Cape | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
crawlers, monitoring their every move. This woman, taken from a black | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
full time can, tells the police officer that her client was going to | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
pay ?30 per set. I didn't know she was a prostitute. | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
The commotion and blue lights attract attention. People like see | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the law enforced on their doorstep and it is making a difference. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
It is quieter now but I used to see all kinds of things happening. Is it | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
nicer to live here now? Yes. | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
This man has been in the police was for 11 years. He knows most of the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
street workers by name. Many have been in their jobs just as long | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
It can't be easy, what they have to do to earn money. It's a dangerous | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
job for them. It's 10:30pm but it wouldn't be unusual to encounter | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
them at three or four in the morning, a female with a customer | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
and who know what dangers they put themselves through its not just | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
about sex offences. Officers stumble across crime | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
everywhere. This couple are in a crime hotspot and the smell of | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
cannabis is strong. Operation Turtle is doing what it | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
set out to do. Some street workers are accepting help to get off the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
game. By taking away their business, they and the streets are | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
safer. Tributes have been paid from across | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
the world to the crew from RAF Lakenheath who were killed when | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
their Pave Hawk helicopter came down in Norfolk on Tuesday night. The | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
crew, three men and a woman, were on a routine low`flying training | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
mission. Today their bodies were finally removed from the crash site. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Our reporter Simon Newton is at RAF Lakenheath for us now. Today we have | :06:26. | :06:38. | |
seen more flowers late year at Lakenheath, many by local people. We | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
have also heard from the commanding officer describing them as for great | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
officers. All the time, the job of recovering their bodies and | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
ascertaining what went wrong has continued. | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
At RAF Lakenheath from where they had taken off, the flowers continue | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
to arrive. This sentiment is one of sympathy and support. This morning, | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
the cruise commanding officer described them as qualified and | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
capable and he had this to say to their families. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
As a husband and father myself, I cannot imagine how heartbroken you | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
must feel. I speak for the entire wing and I say that we are thinking | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
of you, praying for you and we're for you. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
The four who died were members of the 56th rescue Squadron. The | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
captain came from Washington and his English wife had been married for | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
one year. His co`pilot was from Pennsylvania. He had completed three | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. The technical Sergeant was 36 and had | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
been in the air force since he was 18. Also killed was the soft | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Sergeant who was in her late 20s. Across the USA, television stations | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
have been reported in the tragedy including distributed by a | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
Pittsburgh radio station. It was important that he was there | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
to get people out of situations He enjoyed his life in England with | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
other military and everything he did. It showed every time he would | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
call us or we would see him on the computer. He expressed such pride. | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
For the 6000 personnel, these are difficult days. This man is an air | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
force mechanic and worked here. His wife set up and online friend | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
yesterday. By lunchtime today people had donated three times the amount | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
she had set out to raise. We are hoping for the best but this | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
is a different situation. It was a normal day at work and a training | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
exercise and they didn't come home. It's very heartbreaking to hear that | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
these families are going to have to go through this after something so | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
mundane. After granting this aircraft for a | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
day, the skies above Lakenheath today Lord to the sound of planes | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
again. There's been serious disruption to | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
train services between Cambridge and London during this morning's rush | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
hour. We understand that the four helicopters here have been grounded | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
temporarily to make sure that they are ready to resume their flying | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
duties. A board of enquiry is being established with American and RAF | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
officers on board and civilian experts but it may be many months or | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
a year before the findings made public and we know what caused this | :10:02. | :10:13. | |
crash. Milton Keynes is fast establishing | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
itself as an innovator when it comes to public transport. Today the | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
Transport Minister Baroness Kramer launched a fleet of electric buses | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
in the new city. The buses will be charged wirelessly, meaning they can | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
run for 17 hours at a time without plugging in. Our reporter Mike | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Cartwright hitched a ride. Amongst the exhaust fumes and the | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
engine noise, something different. Not much more than a hammer, one of | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
eight new electronic purses here, powered by plants in the road. There | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
are two charge plates like this either end of the route. As the bus | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
arrives, it connects with the plates down here. Within seconds, the | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
receivers underneath the bus dropped down and the bus will be charged for | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
around ten minutes which will power it for an hour. Not all went to | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
plan. An engineer was called after the bus got stuck but this | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
technology could change public transport forever. The University of | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Cambridge helped develop it. This is the first time that we will | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
have put a complete fleet of electric buses on the road so we | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
will see whether this works technologically and economically. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
That is a world first. Launched today, with plenty of | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
dignitaries, the transport minister joining us for the trip. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
This is a very important trial. It will feedback data which will show | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
us whether we can run long distance bus routes and do it with electric | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
vehicles. They have already announced plans | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
for driverless pods to ferry passengers from the train station to | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
the shops and now this. Milton Keynes is leading the way | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
internationally and I think that's exciting. To be doing something to | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
the low carbon agenda is a massive priority. | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
If it works, the dream is to replace these for all diesel buses. Not just | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
here, but everywhere. Rail services between London and | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Cambridge are back to normal tonight. Network Rail had to clear a | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
tree which had fallen onto the track. Those | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
`` amnesty. A man from Cambridge is lucky to be | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
alive after falling 250 metres from a cliff edge in the Scottish | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
mountains. Ollie Martin is 25 and was walking in the Cairngorms when | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
he slipped on Sunday. Still to come, lots of sport. We are talking balls | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
with the youngest ever winner of the Ladies World Matchplay title. And we | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
are back in the gym with Louis Smith as he returns to competitive | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
gymnastics. Last month, a man from Norfolk took | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
on quite a challenge. Duncan Slater started walking across Antarctica to | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
the South Pole. He made it, and what would have been an incredible | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
achievement for any of us was even more impressive, because Duncan lost | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
both his legs while serving in Afghanistan. He is the first double | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
leg amputee to walk to the South Pole. In a moment we'll chat to him, | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
but first, Jenny Kirk reminds us of his epic adventure. | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
Duncan Slater started some serious training months ago. He was | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
preparing his body for freezing temperatures, gale force winds, and | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
the challenge of a lifetime. For years ago, the servicemen from this | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
survived this. A roadside bomb in Afghanistan. The Norfolk `based | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
charity Working With The Wounded came up with the South Pole | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
challenge, and their patron Prince Harry joined the British team. Three | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
teams, from the US, Britain and the Commonwealth, or containing some | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
disabled servicemen and women, were to race to the South Pole, and in | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Antarctica, the teams were making last minute preparations. I've got a | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
spare pin. To spare pins. Spirits were high. Leaving on a jet plane, | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
don't know when we'll be back again... But the weather | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
deteriorated, and after a few days then it became a true challenge. But | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
after a few days... Duncan Slater, the first`ever | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
amputee to get to the South Pole. All in all, the mission is a | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
success. And it has paid off. So far, the mission has raised | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
?107,000, and that is expected to rise. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Duncan is here now. Fantastic photograph there at the end, with | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
you and your daughter Lily. Obviously glad to be back, but | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
congratulations will stop the achievement. Thank you very much. It | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
was once`in`a`lifetime. It was very special. And very hard work, I would | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
think. Jedinak yes, but we had a training package to get us down | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
there. It was hard work, but it was good. Hacked tough is it, how | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
painful? Everyday, we started off with heavy packs, with all our kit | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
and equipment, about nine kilos. The good incentive was, every day, they | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
got a bit lighter! The incentive to eat more, and they all got a bit | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
lighter. There were problems along the way. It was initially a | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
competition, but during it, that was cancelled because some people were | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
struggling? Yes, initially it was pitched as a race which everyone | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
trained for. But it was evident that at the altitude we were at, it took | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
its toll on people's injuries. Because of that, people were having | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
quite a bad time, and the last thing the charity wanted to do was for | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
people to be Casualty evacuated out of the place in a bad state, so they | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
said look, we will stop this now. To be honest, I think that was | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
definitely the right decision. Tell me about the moment that you | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
actually reached the South Pole. It was something else. I was very | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
privileged that day that I got to lead. I had to lead another crew | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
member, who was blind, to the poll. The last day was beautiful, blue | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
skies, flat as a pancake. You could see the South Pole ten kilometres | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
away, and every step, you could see the South Pole ten kilometres away, | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
and every step, union were getting a bit closer. When we got there as a | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
group great to be there. You have spent a lot of time working towards | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
this. I know all of you have been warned that might feel a bit flat | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
now you have achieved it, and you have come home and you are looking | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
to the future. You are still in the position you are with your legs. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
Yes, that is right. We spent a long time preparing for it, and before | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
you knew it, it was over, so the incentive is to give yourself | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
something in the future to work towards, don't just sort of focus in | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
on that. So now, we are all going our separate ways a little to life | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
beyond the South Pole. One, tell us some of the challenges you have | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
climbed up. I'm doing the London Marathon this year, so that will be | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
a good training exercise for me to get back into running. Hopefully, | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
next year, and will do a bit of a race across the desert. Just a race | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
across the desert! I have had enough of the cold now. Quickly, is Prince | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
Harry as fun as he looks? Yet, an absolute legend. He was brilliant, | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
absolutely fantastic. Congratulations. Great to have you | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
back in the studio. Thanks for coming in. Thank you very much. | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
When gymnast Louis Smith announced he was to take a break from the | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
sport after the London Olympics, few expected him to return. But this | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
week, the triple Olympic medallist said he was hoping to compete at the | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Commonwealth Games this summer. And the hard work started today at his | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
gym in Huntingdon, under the watchful eye of his mentor and the | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
club's head coach Paul Hall. Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park reports. | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
It takes an incredible effort to win a major medal. But Louis Smith is | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
about to go through it all over again. Today, the first green this a | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
journey he hopes will end with gold in Glasgow. The news has only been | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
here for a couple of days, that I want to get into it again, and I | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
have had so many people mentioned the world gold medal already. So | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
many times. It brings me straight back to the days of 2012, and the | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
build`up. A gold medal would be nice, but let's not get ahead of | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
ourselves. It is definitely one step at a time. Since Lewis jumped off | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
and was in London, he has one Strictly Come Dancing and become the | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
head of the celebrity circuit, but missed the routine the gym has | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
offered. I have done it since I was four years old, and although I have | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
had some time off, I am kind of missing a little bit of structure | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
and routine in my life. Sometimes, when I have a day off, I don't get | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
out of bed till one o'clock. And so, on to the apparatus that Louis made | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
famous in his country. Looks good. Yes, first session back, I am very | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
pleased with him. How hard will be to get back on the team? Very | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
tricky. We are under no illusions that it will be very difficult. He | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
has a lot of work to do, fitness training, and we will see. The | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
comeback starts in March, the English Championships leading to a | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
competition he last appeared in the 16`year`old, the Commonwealth Games. | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
You compete, you get the medal. Is that it, or is there a possibility | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
he would continue to relocate macro I haven't really planned anything | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
after 2012. I let things open. At the moment, I'm not planning | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
anything after the Commonwealth Games. We said, he knows what is | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
going to happen after that? It might be it. I can say that it might be | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
it, but if I get the bug back, who knows? Louis's images as Britain's | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
finest gymnast in a century inspired a new wave of world`class talent. | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
They were maybe his rivals for a spot in England's team this summer. | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
So beautiful to watch, isn't it? Even in training, incredible | :20:19. | :20:19. | |
strength. Now to the game of bowls. Twelve | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
months ago, Rebecca Field from Norwich became the youngest ever | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
winner of the Ladies World Matchplay title. This year, there are women | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
taking part aged 16 to 70. Tom Williams has been to meet Rebecca at | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
Potters resort in Norfolk. How was your bowling? OK! Show me | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
what you've got. Simon Kroon oh, no! I take a bit of warming up on the | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
old tenpin bowling usually. You not a world champion tenpin dollar, so | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
we will forgive you. But she is world champion on the electric blue | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
carpet. Aged 23, she won the indoor women's singles title three months | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
ago in her first appearance in the final. Has it been fun Colin | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
yourself world champion for 12 months? Yes, I must admit. It is | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
strange to be able to call myself that really. The big thing is, I | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
know I can cope with that sort of situation. It was an incredibly | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
tense final. It could have gone either way. I kept my nerve and I | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
was able to win the match. You were quite emotional after last year's | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
win. Ya, it meant a lot. I have been playing since I was eight, that is | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
16 years of hard work. It was nice to be able to thank some other | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
people as well for doing what they have done to get me here. I did not | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
get here myself. She has held her skills at the North at Bowling club | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
and Norwich, sacrificing evenings and weekends, practising five times | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
a week, while juggling a full`time job. I am lucky to have some very | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
supportive employers that let me have the time to come along to these | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
sorts of things, but it can be difficult, and often, people have to | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
stop because they can't keep up with commitments. Laying at high level, | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
you need a lot of time off, so my annual leave is always used up to | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
play bowls. That has strike written all over it! So what are the last | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
year than like? Crazy, really. It has been a good one, for sure. I set | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
it off with the world title, and then we went on in the national | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
mixed pairs, which was great, followed by the British Isles. It | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
couldn't have been better really pulled up she is hoping lightning | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
will strike twice her title defence this year. Looking good. | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
The BBC Stargazing live programme pulled off a UK first last night by | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
creating a human constellation in Norwich. The stunt was part of a | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Stargazing road show in the city, as around 200 people stood with lit | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
torches to form a human map off the night sky. | :22:56. | :23:04. | |
A human consolation has been done before in Poland, but not on this | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
scale. Before nightfall, they closed the road and space expert Victoria | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
London plotted the night sky to scale on the pavement outside City | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Hall. Where to put 200 of the brightest stars? 250, Green. As | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
darkness fell, local people were invited to be on their marks and | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
ready to light up the night sky. Blue! Blue on, blew off, and I will | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
give special instructions. In cooperation with the City Council, | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
street lamps were switched off as demonstrators introduced the human | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
consolation. The first time it has ever happened in the UK tonight. | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
Could all of our volunteers please turn on their stars? And as a little | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
twist, some had coloured torches to pick out family favourites like the | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
plough in red, and Torres in the yellow. Just to say thank you, would | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
you volunteers like to give as a shout and wave your lights? It was a | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
cloudy, rainy night in Norwich, but the stars came out anyway. | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
How clever! That looks like it took a lot of organising. And now, the | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
weather. Yes, it has been dominated by cloud | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
and rain in the last few weeks, but for now, it is changing slightly, | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
and for tonight, it has been a while since we talked of cost, but | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
tonight, although will be patchy, there is a possibility of frost. | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
Also ice patches from residual rain earlier, but a cold night with clear | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
skies, and winds falling. These are the sorts of values we can expect in | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
towns and cities, between two and four Celsius. We start tomorrow | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
quite cold, but it should be a bright day across much of the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
eastern half of the country. We have is whether front pushing in from the | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
west, and that will turn our skies cloudy. It does not have a great | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
deal of Rayleigh, but it may bring a few spots of rain by evening time. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Certainly expect a bright start. Sonny through the morning, but | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
increasing cloud pushes in from the west later on. Certainly it will be | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
a little chilly through the morning, but it won't feel quite as cold | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
tomorrow as it did today, because we will have lighter winds through much | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
of tomorrow. A light south`westerly. Temperatures climbing to seven or | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
eight degrees. As the weather front starts to push through, a few spots | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
of rain, but not really a great amount of rainfall. Much of this | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
looks as if it will march through the evening and head out to the | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
North Sea by the early hours of morning. Looking ahead, this is our | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
pressure pattern for the weekend. Cold, with high pressure across | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Scandinavia and the UK, allowing cold air to moving eastwards. You | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
can see this whether front moving through on Sunday. The behaviour of | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
this front will really shake the weather that we get here next week. | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
If the high`pressure holds firm, it will remain quite cold, but the | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
current thinking is that this front. To push eastwards, and bring a band | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
of rain with it, and it should really march out into the North Sea, | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
so that will mean some overnight rain. Day. But still a few days out, | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
so there could be some changes to that forecast. We could be in very | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
cold spell next week. This is how the outlook looks at the moment. For | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
the weekend, quite chilly, but fine weather for Saturday, and it should | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
stay bright through much of the day, with long spells of sunshine. A much | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
colder night Saturday night, widespread, sharp frost expected. | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
Some bright weather around on Sunday. There may be some mist and | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
fog patches as well that could linger through part of | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
Cambridgeshire and Norfolk the Sunday morning. But as it gradually | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
eases away, a fine and dry day expected, if rather cold. Then the | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
front pushes through Sunday night, bringing some rain, and hopefully | :26:56. | :26:56. | |
not too cold week. not | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
Thank you very much indeed, Alex. Some sunshine at the weekend! That | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
is all from us. Have a very good evening. Thank you for watching. See | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
you tomorrow. TOM: # And if there's | :27:08. | :27:52. | |
anybody left in here # That doesn't want | :27:53. | :28:13. | |
to be out there... # | :28:14. | :28:16. |
