:00:00. > :00:00.Australia. More about the weather where you are on-line.

:00:07. > :00:12.Hello, and welcome to Look East In the programme tonight: No food or

:00:13. > :00:14.drink for eight days before his death.

:00:15. > :00:15.Today a coroner hears complaints and concerns about this man's care at

:00:16. > :00:19.Addenbrooke's. Kicked out of home and living in a

:00:20. > :00:29.tent ` the mother and daughter left homeless by a long`running row over

:00:30. > :00:34.council tax. We'll be here later looking at the

:00:35. > :00:37.problem of staffing A, and why it is costing our hospitals millions in

:00:38. > :00:40.temporary cover. And why do penguins climb? An

:00:41. > :00:49.Antarctic mystery being solved in Cambridge.

:00:50. > :00:54.First tonight, a Home Office pathologist has told a coroner of

:00:55. > :00:58.his concerns over the death of a man in Addenbrooke's Hospital. Bob Goold

:00:59. > :01:01.had been put on the so`called Liverpool Care Pathway, which was

:01:02. > :01:07.designed to provide palliative care for patients in their last few hours

:01:08. > :01:11.and days. But Mr Goold's family says he was left without food and drink

:01:12. > :01:20.for eight days. Mike Cartwright has been at Huntingdon Coroner's Court

:01:21. > :01:24.and joins me now. We have had a day of medical

:01:25. > :01:30.evidence at this inquest. We heard about then ammonia which Mr Goold

:01:31. > :01:35.developed in hospital and which caused his death. We heard about his

:01:36. > :01:40.worsening condition and the staff who wanted to stop his suffering ``

:01:41. > :01:44.and ammonia. His family were listening and say his final days in

:01:45. > :01:51.hospital were horrendous. Bob Goold's wife arrived supported by

:01:52. > :01:55.her family who feel he was written off by a hospital that stopped his

:01:56. > :02:01.food, fluids and oxygen for more than a week. Aged six to nine, Bob

:02:02. > :02:05.Goold had Alzheimer's. After falling at home, he was taken to hospital

:02:06. > :02:10.with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. The pathologist who

:02:11. > :02:14.carried out the postmortem cold the inquest he had concerns that

:02:15. > :02:20.treatment was withdrawn. Head injuries and Alzheimer's contributed

:02:21. > :02:27.to Mr Goold's death at Addenbrooke's but bronchial and ammonia caused it.

:02:28. > :02:32.Bob Goold arrived at Addenbrooke's on the 3rd of February. On the 8th

:02:33. > :02:38.he was placed on the Liverpool Care Pathway. The family say this was

:02:39. > :02:44.without their permission. On the 25th of debris, he died. This Doctor

:02:45. > :02:50.in charge of the intensive care unit he told the inquest he thought the

:02:51. > :02:56.family understood, but the hospital had not specifically mentioned the

:02:57. > :02:59.Liverpool Care Pathway. The inquest heard his condition deteriorated and

:03:00. > :03:06.medical staff acted to relieve his suffering. Although in Goring Goold

:03:07. > :03:12.nude the prognosis was not good if treatment was continued, the family

:03:13. > :03:17.say, he might be alive today `` although Goring Goold was aware

:03:18. > :03:24.Although this treatment was controversial, how did it work at

:03:25. > :03:30.Addenbrooke's? For patients to be put under treatment, patients told

:03:31. > :03:34.there were `` there was a form. The first part asked if it was futile to

:03:35. > :03:40.continue treatment and the inquest was told in this case it was. The

:03:41. > :03:46.second part say, is the family in agreement? The family say they were

:03:47. > :03:49.never asked. Tomorrow we will hear from family members and staff who

:03:50. > :03:54.were involved in the care of Bob Goold his final days. This inquest

:03:55. > :03:58.should finish tomorrow. A woman from Bedfordshire says she's

:03:59. > :04:01.having to live in a tent after her home was seized in a long`running

:04:02. > :04:03.row over her council tax bill. Marilyn Robinson`White and her

:04:04. > :04:14.daughter believed they were exempt, and that the bill had been sent in

:04:15. > :04:18.air. `` by mistake. A bedroom, kitchen and cupboard For

:04:19. > :04:24.this mother and daughter in Kempston, it is their home. They

:04:25. > :04:29.were kicked out of their house and have been sleeping on wasteland We

:04:30. > :04:37.know the neighbours are wondering what is going on. We will stay here

:04:38. > :04:42.and hopefully, I'll I wanted was an apology from the council. Money is

:04:43. > :04:49.not huge compensation, just an apology, but to lose my home I am

:04:50. > :04:53.going nowhere. She believed they do not have to pay council tax because

:04:54. > :04:58.her late husband was disabled and they were his carers. The borough

:04:59. > :05:03.council say the family had not applied for the discount. They were

:05:04. > :05:07.asked to pay the debt in instalments but it grew and they were litter

:05:08. > :05:12.forced into bankruptcy. The house has been repossessed and there is a

:05:13. > :05:16.notice in the window giving the women 14 days to remove their

:05:17. > :05:22.belongings. Bedford Borough Council said Marilyn Robinson`White was

:05:23. > :05:28.liable to pay council tax arrears dating back to 2006. They said they

:05:29. > :05:31.had offered advice but she had chosen not to accept. When

:05:32. > :05:37.neighbours realise the woman had been locked out, they became

:05:38. > :05:41.concerned. It was such cold weather and such a terrible night, you

:05:42. > :05:47.wouldn't leave your pets out in this weather, so we felt sorry for them

:05:48. > :05:51.and have been doing what we can Neighbours are rallying round, we

:05:52. > :05:55.have brought a tent for them because they were sitting at a table with

:05:56. > :06:02.small umbrellas over the top which didn't shelter them from the rain

:06:03. > :06:06.and not from the cold. The two women are challenging the bankruptcy order

:06:07. > :06:09.and fighting for their home back, but with legal bills on top there

:06:10. > :06:15.are doubts now run into tens of thousands of pounds. `` their debts.

:06:16. > :06:17.Next tonight, the police boss who's been given a severe reprimand today

:06:18. > :06:21.for sharing confidential information about a sensitive case. Olly Martins

:06:22. > :06:25.is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire. Today he was

:06:26. > :06:29.hauled over the coals for discussing the case of a Luton man who died in

:06:30. > :06:38.police custody. Our home affairs correspondent Sally Chidzoy reports.

:06:39. > :06:42.Seen before the police and crime panel alongside his Chief Constable,

:06:43. > :06:48.Olly Martins face what was described as an angry panel today. Behind

:06:49. > :06:58.closed doors, he was given a stiff dressing down and reprimanded. He

:06:59. > :07:07.was very contrite. Our decision today was to issue a written

:07:08. > :07:12.reprimand for the air he made. Mr Martin's admitted leaking

:07:13. > :07:16.confidential information on the case of a man who died in custody. He

:07:17. > :07:21.passed it to a friend at the Home Office. Bedfordshire Police

:07:22. > :07:26.investigated the police complaints commission, which is investigating

:07:27. > :07:30.the death. Mr Marten faced the panel member and in the words of one

:07:31. > :07:34.member but a bit of a fright at realising the enormity of what he

:07:35. > :07:41.had done. Panel members were very angry. It also emerged he had

:07:42. > :07:45.considered his resignation. Mr Martin's said he decided it was best

:07:46. > :07:52.to continue in his job and gave this reaction to the reprimand. If people

:07:53. > :07:56.are prepared to accept that even a Police Commissioner can make a

:07:57. > :08:00.mistake, and I have been straightforward about the fact I

:08:01. > :08:05.made a mistake and I have learned lessons and provided it is not

:08:06. > :08:11.getting in the way of me doing my job. Mr Martin's has potentially

:08:12. > :08:17.damaged his credibility on the authorities of his office, but the

:08:18. > :08:20.IPCC still has the power to call in this breach and take action itself.

:08:21. > :08:23.Corby Borough Council has apologised after admitting some of the plans it

:08:24. > :08:28.had published for a controversial waste site were misleading. Gretton

:08:29. > :08:32.Brook Estates wants to build an energy park which would convert

:08:33. > :08:36.waste into heat and electricity But not all the details were published

:08:37. > :08:47.on the council's website as part of a consultation process. These plans

:08:48. > :08:52.have always been controversial, so as the public are now being asked

:08:53. > :08:56.for their opinion, as part of the consultation process, there was

:08:57. > :09:02.anger that new information was not published online. Today the council

:09:03. > :09:09.admitted it had made a mistake. I apologise for that. We sent out

:09:10. > :09:13.consultation letters that were inaccurate. We are now putting out a

:09:14. > :09:20.new notice, new consultation letters, containing apologies and

:09:21. > :09:23.they are accurate. People are concerned they won't have time to be

:09:24. > :09:32.consulted on those plans. Can you reassure them? Yes, the consultation

:09:33. > :09:36.date will be extended. It is currently extended from the 14th of

:09:37. > :09:41.debris and will be extended as long as it need be. These plans are

:09:42. > :09:47.divisive. Aside from current proposals, a waste incinerator has

:09:48. > :09:54.been approved to the site just north of Corby. You have the motor

:09:55. > :09:59.Speedway in the distance, then the line of trees and that is where the

:10:00. > :10:02.recovery plant could be. It is the fact that the site is covered in

:10:03. > :10:08.trees that causes some people concerned. People are worried that

:10:09. > :10:14.they don't know what is going to happen. They see 40 to 50% of the

:10:15. > :10:22.Woodlands disappearing, so the nature of the area, conditions will

:10:23. > :10:27.be put on traffic but we note traffic will go where it wants to

:10:28. > :10:34.go. The company behind the plan says the plant will bring much needed

:10:35. > :10:38.jobs to the area and it is a green solution to energy needs, but

:10:39. > :10:42.critics say there is nothing green about chopping down this woodland

:10:43. > :10:44.and say they will continue to fight the plans.

:10:45. > :10:47.A pensioner needs extensive surgery for a fractured eye socket and

:10:48. > :10:51.broken jaw after being assaulted in Bedford. It happened in the early

:10:52. > :10:54.hours of Sunday morning as Carol Oxenham and his friend walked home

:10:55. > :10:58.from a kebab shop along a footpath in Cavendish Street. They were set

:10:59. > :11:01.upon by a group of around ten men, some of whom who punched and kicked

:11:02. > :11:05.them. Nothing was stolen. Police are appealing for witnesses.

:11:06. > :11:08.A search is under way in Bedford for a disabled man who's gone missing

:11:09. > :11:12.whilst out with his carers. Edwin Townley was last seen at the library

:11:13. > :11:16.at 11:15am this morning. The 34`year`old suffered a brain injury

:11:17. > :11:20.two years ago, and won't be able to find his way home or ask for help.

:11:21. > :11:24.He was wearing a cap, white trainers and walks with a slight limp.

:11:25. > :11:27.Football, and Peterborough will look to ease some of the pressure on

:11:28. > :11:30.their manager Darren Ferguson by winning tonight's FA Cup tie with

:11:31. > :11:39.non`league Kidderminster. Posh have lost their last four matches. MK

:11:40. > :11:42.Dons are looking to set up a tie with Crystal Palace. Elsewhere in

:11:43. > :11:43.League One, bottom`of`the`table Stevenage entertain Swindon at the

:11:44. > :11:48.Lamex Stadium. Football and Norwich and Ipswich

:11:49. > :11:51.will try and join Southend in the fourth round of the FA Cup tonight.

:11:52. > :11:54.Both face third round replays, with Norwich travelling to Fulham and

:11:55. > :12:00.Ipswich heading to League One side Preston.

:12:01. > :12:06.Still to come: Signs of growth at Stansted Airport. Our correspondent

:12:07. > :12:10.Richard Bond on what that means for the economy.

:12:11. > :12:13.And why climate change means penguins are heading for higher

:12:14. > :12:19.ground to breed. But how on earth do they get there?

:12:20. > :12:25.Such a good question! I can't wait to find out. New figures out today

:12:26. > :12:29.show that spending on temporary doctors to fill hospital vacancies

:12:30. > :12:33.in Accident and Emergency has risen by more than 75% in three years.

:12:34. > :12:36.This is much higher than the national average of 60%. The numbers

:12:37. > :12:39.come from the Labour Party after a Freedom of Information Act request.

:12:40. > :12:42.They show that in this region, hospitals are spending on so`called

:12:43. > :12:49.locums has gone up from ?7 million pounds to more than 13 million. The

:12:50. > :12:53.details now from Jenny Kirk. Thank you. Not all of our hospitals

:12:54. > :12:57.` including The Lister, Basildon and the James Paget actually replied to

:12:58. > :13:01.the FOI request, so that headline figure of 75% could be higher or

:13:02. > :13:05.lower. However, of the 17 that did respond, those with the greatest

:13:06. > :13:08.rises are in the west of our region. Kettering General has seen by far

:13:09. > :13:12.the biggest increase. Its spending on emergency locums has more than

:13:13. > :13:15.quadrupled. In a statement, the hospital's medical director said

:13:16. > :13:18.that in that time the pressure on A has increased by more than 10%

:13:19. > :13:22.and admits they're "struggling to fill posts with staff", blaming the

:13:23. > :13:26.problem on "the national shortage of A staff." The Luton and Dunstable

:13:27. > :13:30.has more than tripled its spending on locums, as in the last three

:13:31. > :13:33.years, the number of people using A has risen by a fifth. They say

:13:34. > :13:36.that they "have recently recruited more doctors to permanent posts"

:13:37. > :13:40.which should make a difference to next year's figures. And the third

:13:41. > :13:43.biggest rise in the region is at Milton Keynes Hospital, which has

:13:44. > :13:47.more than doubled its spend. Now these locums can earn more than

:13:48. > :13:55.staff doctors, up to ?1,500 a shift, and the Shadow Health Secretary says

:13:56. > :14:02.we're paying more for less. I'm not sure we get the best care when we

:14:03. > :14:05.have A departments staffed by temporary doctors. They don't have

:14:06. > :14:11.the same commitment to those hospitals. They are not their day

:14:12. > :14:15.in, day out, like full`time doctors. We end up paying more for a worse

:14:16. > :14:18.service. The President of the College of Emergency Medicine has

:14:19. > :14:21.called it a "workforce crisis", as recruitment and retention are a big

:14:22. > :14:23.problem for A departments. However, the government has

:14:24. > :14:26.announced plans to tackle the shortage by creating extra training

:14:27. > :14:29.places. And two of our hospitals, Peterborough and the Norfolk and

:14:30. > :14:31.Norwich, are bucking the trend. They've actually decreased their

:14:32. > :14:39.spending on temporary emergency doctors. The Norfolk and Norwich has

:14:40. > :14:43.cut its locum bill by a fifth. Thank you very much. The government

:14:44. > :14:46.says this was a problem that started when the Labour Party was in power.

:14:47. > :14:50.But I spoke to the Health Minister and Suffolk MP Dr Dan Poulter

:14:51. > :14:54.earlier, and put it to him that the situation had got a lot worse under

:14:55. > :14:59.the Coalition. It does take six years to train and A consultant,

:15:00. > :15:04.and the challenge is for us now as a government to address that. We're

:15:05. > :15:07.now seeing more junior doctors beginning to fill training places

:15:08. > :15:10.and begin the process of becoming a consultant, but the long`term

:15:11. > :15:14.workforce planning, I'm afraid, was not there, and this was something

:15:15. > :15:18.that was the responsibility of the previous government. It takes six

:15:19. > :15:21.years to train a consultant. That long`term workforce planning was not

:15:22. > :15:25.in place, and the long`term thinking was not there, and we are paying the

:15:26. > :15:28.price for that. But this is a chronic problem, particularly in

:15:29. > :15:32.A Do we need to pay the permanent staff more to work in a neat cos of

:15:33. > :15:36.the pressures they face? That would still be cheaper than hiring locums.

:15:37. > :15:41.The first thing is to get more junior doctors to choose acute

:15:42. > :15:45.training, something that has really happened. We have seen a 100% fill

:15:46. > :15:49.rate of that training, and that speciality training, this year. We

:15:50. > :15:52.also have to make sure that A is more sustainable as a career, so

:15:53. > :15:57.looking at the consultant contract, properly recognising the fact that

:15:58. > :16:01.A doctors have to work a lot of nights, a lot of weekends, and have

:16:02. > :16:05.a very tough job. Properly incentivising that in the contract,

:16:06. > :16:08.looking at the important issue of the worklife balance or things we're

:16:09. > :16:12.looking at with our contract negotiations with the DNA. I spoke

:16:13. > :16:16.to you last year about the number of local nurses being hired by the

:16:17. > :16:19.NHS. We know how the NHS is reliant on foreign doctors and nurses. More

:16:20. > :16:24.at being trained up, but maybe not enough? We have actually seen a

:16:25. > :16:28.record number of doctors coming out of training, and there are over 5000

:16:29. > :16:31.more doctors now working in the NHS under this government than they're

:16:32. > :16:36.worth before, so there are more people historically going into

:16:37. > :16:39.training under the previous comment on this one, and we have seen new

:16:40. > :16:45.medical schools opening in the last decade. There is also a

:16:46. > :16:48.responsibility for local health care trusts to get this right, because as

:16:49. > :16:52.you have indicated, the unacceptable variation in the use of locum

:16:53. > :16:56.staff, and we need to see hospitals tackling this issue more seriously,

:16:57. > :17:01.and playing and looking to employ more permanent staff generally. That

:17:02. > :17:05.is something they need to take on board. Temporary staff are not good

:17:06. > :17:11.for patient care, and it is short`changing patients.

:17:12. > :17:12.Dr Dan Poulter speaking earlier this afternoon.

:17:13. > :17:15.There was another sign today the economy is getting stronger.

:17:16. > :17:18.Stansted Airport says last month was its best December since 2009, with

:17:19. > :17:22.1.3 million passengers. It's also had a full year of growth for the

:17:23. > :17:27.first time since 2007. Our business correspondent Richard Bond is here.

:17:28. > :17:34.What should we read into these figures? For Stansted, I think the

:17:35. > :17:37.figures are encouraging, because the airport has had a rotten time since

:17:38. > :17:44.the recession. Passenger numbers have plummeted from 24 million in

:17:45. > :17:48.2007 to 17 million in 2012, and they have been bumping along through

:17:49. > :17:54.while. As you say, this is the first year of full growth since 2007. They

:17:55. > :17:59.have a new owner. At that make any difference? Possibly, yes.

:18:00. > :18:03.Manchester Airport's group is determined to grow the airport and

:18:04. > :18:05.add new routes. They have signed long`term agreements for growth with

:18:06. > :18:10.Ryanair and EasyJet, which is probably a smart move. They are

:18:11. > :18:13.getting on with ?80 million worth of improvements to the terminal. But

:18:14. > :18:16.last month, they were knocked back when Stanton was left off the short

:18:17. > :18:19.list for a new runway by the airports commission. Why does it

:18:20. > :18:24.matter to the region whether Stansted is growing or not? Stansted

:18:25. > :18:28.is a great barometer of how our economy is doing generally in the

:18:29. > :18:33.east. If Stansted is declining, it is a fair bet our economy is

:18:34. > :18:36.struggling. If it is growing, the opposite usually applies. Also bear

:18:37. > :18:43.in mind that Stansted is the largest single site employer in the east,

:18:44. > :18:45.with 10,000 staff. We will look very closely at what happens this year.

:18:46. > :18:49.Thank you very much. A new landlord will take over at a

:18:50. > :18:53.village pub in Suffolk this weekend. But he can't do it before then `

:18:54. > :18:56.because he isn't old enough. He has to wait until he's 18. That will

:18:57. > :19:00.make Charlie Watts the youngest publican in the country. Kevin Burch

:19:01. > :19:07.is at The Cherry Tree in Yaxley now. Kevin.

:19:08. > :19:10.Yes, they always say you know when you're getting old because police

:19:11. > :19:16.officers lured young. Well, what about pub landlord? In my day, they

:19:17. > :19:20.were normally older, quite imposing. They did not need to ring the bell,

:19:21. > :19:25.they just used to glare at you. But today, well, things have changed.

:19:26. > :19:30.The Cherry Tree at Yaxley has been a vital part of this community for

:19:31. > :19:34.generations, and now the latest chapter in its history is about to

:19:35. > :19:38.be written, courtesy of Charlie Watts. He will take on the role of

:19:39. > :19:47.host at one minute past midnight on Saturday. Going from not waking up

:19:48. > :19:51.early and going to bed as late as I want to getting up early and going

:19:52. > :19:54.to bed when I shut the pub is hard, and getting into that routine is

:19:55. > :19:59.going to be hard work, but I'm going to have to buckle down and get used

:20:00. > :20:06.to it, I think. You enjoy your life ends at the moment? Senator yes!

:20:07. > :20:09.Charlie originally had his heart set on being a police officer, but when

:20:10. > :20:13.he weighed up his job options for the future, this opportunity seemed

:20:14. > :20:18.too good to turn down. He has been pulling pints anyway since he was

:20:19. > :20:21.17, under the watchful eyes of his landlord parents. But while pad

:20:22. > :20:26.takes a break from the trade, mum will still be on hand. She runs the

:20:27. > :20:30.Post office side of the business. What could this do to the mother son

:20:31. > :20:34.relationship? It can only make it better! Absolutely can only make it

:20:35. > :20:39.better. We work well together, we work as a team. When we Arabs dead

:20:40. > :20:46.in the flat, I'm his mum, down here, we are a team. How does it feel to

:20:47. > :20:52.have that title in the country? That is quite cool. It is very exciting.

:20:53. > :20:56.All my friends alike, that is cruel. What is the best quality a good

:20:57. > :21:01.landlord needs to have? A sense of humour. Have is if you're stepping

:21:02. > :21:07.into dance shoes? A lot of people have told really big shoes to fill,

:21:08. > :21:11.but if I can do at 50% as good as he did, I will be making a good job of

:21:12. > :21:15.it. In most pubs, age can be a barrier, but now it could be the

:21:16. > :21:21.teenager serving, not supping, who gets the quizzical glances.

:21:22. > :21:26.Back here in the pub, this is Andy, whose boots he has two Phil. Hello,

:21:27. > :21:30.Andy. At the moment, everything Charlie does has to be approved by

:21:31. > :21:34.mum and dad. Come the weekend, he can go crazy. Well, not crazy, but

:21:35. > :21:39.he can do that. He won't need me to tell him that running a pub is tough

:21:40. > :21:43.these days. Running a country pub is incredibly difficult. He knows he

:21:44. > :21:47.has his work cut out. Let's be honest, if you run a pub, you have

:21:48. > :21:51.to make it pay. Fingers crossed he has the energy and time to make it

:21:52. > :21:56.work. But from here in the pub, back to the studio. Thank you much.

:21:57. > :21:59.Good luck to him. They're not known for athleticism.

:22:00. > :22:02.In fact, they struggle to walk at all. But now scientists in Cambridge

:22:03. > :22:19.have discovered emperor penguins are somehow climbing 30 metres to reach

:22:20. > :22:23.safe breeding ground. The population in Antarctica `

:22:24. > :22:27.precious, pompous, a little portly, but with a problem of epic

:22:28. > :22:33.proportions. As their breeding ground belts, the Emperor Penguin

:22:34. > :22:36.has set its sights higher `30 metres of those cliffs. That is like

:22:37. > :22:41.climbing King 's College Chapel in Cambridge, for stacking up five

:22:42. > :22:44.double`decker buses, or doing three Tom Daly high dives one after the

:22:45. > :22:51.other. How do they get there? Nobody knows. You think they can go onto

:22:52. > :22:56.ice shills because of their nature. They waddle, sometimes they slide on

:22:57. > :23:01.their bellies, but they are not the most agile things. We are unsure how

:23:02. > :23:05.they get up and down. They may climb or they may flop onto snowdrifts. It

:23:06. > :23:10.is something we're going to have to find out. Satellite imagery

:23:11. > :23:13.collected by the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge looked set for

:23:14. > :23:17.colonies, all of whom have left their usual breeding ground for the

:23:18. > :23:23.heady heights of the ice shelf. But the for food is exhausting, a 30

:23:24. > :23:27.kilometre or 18 mile waddle for every meal. Some of these ice

:23:28. > :23:35.shelves are to 100 feet high, or higher. They often move several

:23:36. > :23:38.miles inland onto the ice shelves to make sure they are not too close to

:23:39. > :23:41.the edge, and they sometimes fall off. It must take an enormous effort

:23:42. > :23:47.for them to go backwards and forwards each day to their foraging

:23:48. > :23:52.grounds from their colony location. So is this migration a worrying

:23:53. > :23:56.develop that? The Penguins are less reliant on the sea ice is self, and

:23:57. > :23:59.that can only be a good thing, because it means they are less

:24:00. > :24:04.susceptible to climate change. However, going onto the shelves will

:24:05. > :24:08.have a cost to them. It is windy, further to their foraging grounds,

:24:09. > :24:14.so we need to assess what the benefits or the costs are for this

:24:15. > :24:18.new breeding behaviour. Later this year, scientists will be in

:24:19. > :24:23.Antarctica solving the mystery of how these clumsy flightless bird

:24:24. > :24:26.gets a very high. Handsome things. Staying with snow

:24:27. > :24:33.and before the weather take a look at these pictures. This was Norfolk

:24:34. > :24:36.exactly a year ago tomorrow. Don't we remember it? Schools were

:24:37. > :24:41.closed, huge problems for commuters, 63 crashes on the roads.

:24:42. > :24:47.Lots of skidding. What a difference a year makes. Alex.

:24:48. > :24:51.If thank you. Yes, it is hard to imagine, because it has been chilly

:24:52. > :24:55.today, but on the whole, January has been wet, windy and mild. There is

:24:56. > :25:00.more wet and mild coming our way tonight. This is the pressure

:25:01. > :25:04.pattern. This is a warm front. Behind it is milder air, but ahead

:25:05. > :25:08.of it, we are recording temperatures as low as two Celsius, so possibly a

:25:09. > :25:11.touch of frost between now and midnight as temperatures get close

:25:12. > :25:14.to freezing. But the rain band starts to push eastwards during the

:25:15. > :25:21.evening and overnight. It will be mainly light and patchy, but there

:25:22. > :25:25.could be some heavy downpours. Temperatures at around ten o'clock

:25:26. > :25:30.will be two to five Celsius, and as that rain band head eastwards, they

:25:31. > :25:34.will left. But the wind will freshen as well, and there could be some

:25:35. > :25:37.heavy bursts of rain. By five o'clock, these are the sort of

:25:38. > :25:43.temperatures we can expect `5 or six degrees. The winds are moderate

:25:44. > :25:47.southerly. We start tomorrow feeling much milder, but there will be

:25:48. > :25:50.patchy rain around, and much of tomorrow will be rather cloudy.

:25:51. > :25:53.Particular through the morning, when they will be some outbreaks of

:25:54. > :25:57.rain, dry interludes, and perhaps something brighter, but some showers

:25:58. > :26:02.follow one behind for the after noon. Those temperatures, 10

:26:03. > :26:09.Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit, very much a mild cabbage for the time of year.

:26:10. > :26:12.Six or seven degrees. Winds still quite breezy tomorrow. Moderate

:26:13. > :26:16.south to south`westerly. Still the risk of further showers through the

:26:17. > :26:20.afternoon. Then the next weather front starts to bring as overnight

:26:21. > :26:23.rain tomorrow. We will continue to see a unsettled weather, because low

:26:24. > :26:27.pressure will be very much the dominant feature of our weather.

:26:28. > :26:32.This is Thursday and Friday's whether pressure pattern. Certainly

:26:33. > :26:36.for Thursday, the chance of some fairly sharp showers around, and

:26:37. > :26:42.then a spell of perhaps more heavy and persistent rain arriving on

:26:43. > :26:46.Friday. So, into tomorrow, expect a milder day. Don't expect it to be

:26:47. > :26:49.really bright, though. There will be cloud and patchy rain around, and

:26:50. > :26:53.the risk of showers. It stays quite breezy through the week. Ringing of

:26:54. > :26:57.the overnight Bridges, you can see they become milder for a few nights.

:26:58. > :27:01.Some rain arrives on the next weather front for Wednesday night.

:27:02. > :27:04.It will be around on Thursday, but it introduces slightly cooler and,

:27:05. > :27:09.at Mass for Thursday, so although they will be patchy rain on

:27:10. > :27:16.Thursday, it will become brighter with sunshine and showers around. On

:27:17. > :27:20.Friday, it looks very unsettled. We may start to dry, but rain pushes

:27:21. > :27:24.them, and it will become more persistent and heavy in places. At

:27:25. > :27:28.the moment, it looks like Saturday into the weekend will be unsettled

:27:29. > :27:32.with rain. Then, we start to bring back clearer conditions overnight on

:27:33. > :27:36.Saturday, so that means we are back into the territory of frosts. Thank

:27:37. > :27:38.you very much. That is all from us for this evening. Have a very good

:27:39. > :27:43.evening. Goodbye.
