:00:09. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: It's all

:00:14. > :00:16.about education ` the battle to beat the men grooming young girls.

:00:17. > :00:19.Mourning Father Joseph ` hundreds attend the funeral of the priest

:00:20. > :00:26.found dead in a supermarket car park.

:00:27. > :00:31.Why rising power bill means more work for the woodsmen.

:00:32. > :00:32.The tributes honouring the man thought to be the world's first

:00:33. > :00:48.black professional footballer. First tonight: Children must be

:00:49. > :00:54.taught how to recognise and report abuse at an earlier age. That's the

:00:55. > :00:58.call today from the children's charity NSPCC. It follows

:00:59. > :01:01.yesterday's conviction of two men and three teenage boys for a series

:01:02. > :01:06.of rapes and sexual assaults against underage girls in Peterborough. The

:01:07. > :01:10.city council has launched a serious case review to find out what lessons

:01:11. > :01:13.can be learned from the case, but agrees with the need for better

:01:14. > :01:17.education. We'll be speaking to the Chief Executive in a few moments,

:01:18. > :01:24.but first this report from Emma Baugh.

:01:25. > :01:30.A class of teenagers at Peterborough's local school in a sex

:01:31. > :01:33.education class. It became even more apparent that there have been young

:01:34. > :01:37.people in Peterborough who have been abused, have been groomed,

:01:38. > :01:41.approached, for reasons which are really wrong. Even though none of

:01:42. > :01:46.these young people were affected, the way they teach sex education

:01:47. > :01:52.here has changed. It is only in the last 18 months or so that we've been

:01:53. > :01:55.overtly teaching about child sexual expectation because I think it's

:01:56. > :01:58.really important that schools keep up`to`date with that. It's no good

:01:59. > :02:02.teaching it in the old`fashioned way of just avoiding pregnancy. Sex

:02:03. > :02:05.education is much more important than that, and keeping them safe in

:02:06. > :02:11.terms of error and social health and relationship safety. It was in this

:02:12. > :02:20.part and others around Peterborough that girls were abused by groups of

:02:21. > :02:23.men. Yesterday Hassan Abdulla and Zdeno Mirga were found guilty of

:02:24. > :02:25.multiple rapes and sexual offences. Police say they are now

:02:26. > :02:29.investigating a number of other cases right across Peterborough

:02:30. > :02:35.involving different nationalities from ten different communities. We

:02:36. > :02:38.are invading with a large number of people and urging them to share

:02:39. > :02:41.their experiences, what they've heard and what they believe to be

:02:42. > :02:45.the case. We'll be doing this for some months come. I anticipate

:02:46. > :02:50.further charges and further trials in due course. Child welfare

:02:51. > :02:55.charities say it's never too early to start educating children about

:02:56. > :02:59.the dangers of sexual abuse. In this case in Peterborough, we do have

:03:00. > :03:04.some very young victims. That's particularly important. Parents

:03:05. > :03:08.should think that they don't wait until teenage years to talk to their

:03:09. > :03:13.children about sexual matters but talk to them in their early years.

:03:14. > :03:16.The men in this case face sentencing next month but police say other

:03:17. > :03:19.investigations are very much ongoing.

:03:20. > :03:21.Gillian Beasley is the chief executive of Peterborough City

:03:22. > :03:31.Council. She's also a former child protection officer. The NSPCC says

:03:32. > :03:39.we can't wait until secondary school to educate children about sexual

:03:40. > :03:43.predators ` do you agree? I've listened to your piece and I think

:03:44. > :03:46.there is excellent work happening at the academy you featured and they

:03:47. > :03:51.need to be proactive and work hard in schools to get the message across

:03:52. > :03:55.to young girls. But it is larger than that. I'm a parent and I'd want

:03:56. > :03:59.to know what to look for in my daughter. If her behaviour is

:04:00. > :04:04.changing, things that aren't right. I'd also want to know how to report

:04:05. > :04:15.that on one of the key messages in this case is that our social workers

:04:16. > :04:19.and the police are trusted. There are people to really work with young

:04:20. > :04:23.girls to tell their stories. That's what happened with these case and

:04:24. > :04:27.why these men were convicted. You think parents shy away from sex

:04:28. > :04:35.education is they're worried about taking their child's innocence? I

:04:36. > :04:39.think there will be many parents listening to this today who want the

:04:40. > :04:42.best for their children and if they know education of this kind is going

:04:43. > :04:47.to help them against these predatory and despicable criminals, they'd

:04:48. > :04:51.want to go with it. You were in court to hear these children relive

:04:52. > :04:56.their experiences. They thought they were going to die. It's up to all of

:04:57. > :05:02.us to try to stop this, isn't it? I heard the youngest victim's evidence

:05:03. > :05:05.and it was shocking. I went cold. She was describing how she thought

:05:06. > :05:09.she would be killed and how her family and the people she loved most

:05:10. > :05:12.of the world would be killed. One of the things that has come out of this

:05:13. > :05:18.case is how we must understand the way these men operate, and how they

:05:19. > :05:24.absolutely target young girls. They groom them and use them for sex and

:05:25. > :05:29.that is education as well. It's us understanding as a society how these

:05:30. > :05:32.men work. The city's MP Stuart Jackson says this case should ring

:05:33. > :05:40.people we think immigration ` is that what this is about? `` make the

:05:41. > :05:46.bull rethink immigration. My experience shows that this is not

:05:47. > :05:49.men defined by their ethnicity or background but by a despicable

:05:50. > :05:55.attitude towards children. We've seen the scenario in the Philippines

:05:56. > :05:59.with abuse by the internet in the Philippines. I did an investigation

:06:00. > :06:04.20 years ago of a caretaker who was abusing over 100 children. We've got

:06:05. > :06:07.to understand how these men operate. They're ruthless in their

:06:08. > :06:11.determination to target young girls and we've got to be equally ruthless

:06:12. > :06:16.in the way that we understand how they operate and we wipe out this

:06:17. > :06:18.kind of thing in Peterborough and across the country. Thanks for your

:06:19. > :06:21.time. Meanwhile, an investigation by

:06:22. > :06:25.Northamptonshire Police has led to the breaking up of an international

:06:26. > :06:28.child sex abuse ring. Officers paid a routine visit to a known sex

:06:29. > :06:32.offender in Kettering. They found Timothy Ford was paying a family in

:06:33. > :06:36.the Philippines to sexually abuse children live on webcams. He was

:06:37. > :06:42.jailed last year but the investigation which followed has led

:06:43. > :06:45.to 29 arrests around the world. His disappearance sparked concern

:06:46. > :06:49.across the Catholic community of Luton. Three days later, that

:06:50. > :06:54.concern became shock after Father Joseph Williams' body was found in

:06:55. > :06:57.his car in a supermarket car park. Today hundreds of people ` including

:06:58. > :07:07.the Bishop of Northampton and 5 Catholic priests ` attended his

:07:08. > :07:13.funeral. Anna Todd reports. Every inch a parishioner, a friend,

:07:14. > :07:17.a colleague, all paying tribute to Father Joseph Williams, who served

:07:18. > :07:22.this community, this little church, for two years until his death just

:07:23. > :07:28.after Christmas. So many priests that they had to sit in a side room.

:07:29. > :07:31.The Bishop of Northampton paid tribute to Father Joseph,

:07:32. > :07:35.remembering how worried they'd been when he went missing. The concern

:07:36. > :07:43.and helplessness that we had been feeling was replaced by an

:07:44. > :07:46.anguished, turmoil and grief. It was at the news that he had been found

:07:47. > :07:54.dead while on a simple shopping trip. Father Joseph, just 42 years

:07:55. > :07:58.old, has appeared on December 2 . His body was found three days later,

:07:59. > :08:03.slumped at the wheel of his car in this supermarket car park. Today's

:08:04. > :08:11.service was an outpouring of sadness and disbelief. A lovely man. I still

:08:12. > :08:17.think he's walking among us but as we know, it's not going to be and,

:08:18. > :08:24.as you see, people come in and they loved him. This is a very strong

:08:25. > :08:29.community and lots of people live near the church so there's a great

:08:30. > :08:34.sense of a bond between the Irish and its people in the church and, of

:08:35. > :08:40.course, the priest is the focus for that in different ways. `` the

:08:41. > :08:42.parish and its people. Today Father Joe is a should have been

:08:43. > :08:47.celebrating a belated Christmas with his family in Devon. Instead, his

:08:48. > :08:53.others were in Devon for his funeral. `` his brothers.

:08:54. > :08:56.A jury's heard today that a man accused of helping a serial killer

:08:57. > :08:59.dispose of her victim's bodies had warned she could kill. Joanna

:09:00. > :09:02.Dennehy stabbed three men to death, leaving their bodies in ditches near

:09:03. > :09:05.Peterborough. At Cambridge Crown Court, Gary Stretch and Leslie

:09:06. > :09:08.Layton deny preventing lawful burial of the victims. Stretch is also

:09:09. > :09:17.accused of attempting to murder two men. This report from home affairs

:09:18. > :09:23.correspondent Sally Chidzoy. The jury heard more about the victim's

:09:24. > :09:29.character at the trial today. `` about Joanna Dennehy's character.

:09:30. > :09:34.These men died during the ten day killing spree. Their bodies, one in

:09:35. > :09:38.a black sequinned dress, were found in two ditches near Peterborough at

:09:39. > :09:42.nine months ago. The jury were told that Gary stretch, described as

:09:43. > :09:47.Dennehy's trusted aide, had confided in one witness that she could kill.

:09:48. > :09:52.Carla White lived in the same house as a seven tall Gary stretch, whom

:09:53. > :09:59.she described as a gentle giant She said he told her that Dennehy would

:10:00. > :10:01.kill the victim David Lee `` Kevin Lee because she was distressed he

:10:02. > :10:06.hadn't paid her for decorating work. She said he was very rude and

:10:07. > :10:11.arrogant and that the serial killer had, for no reason, grabbed her

:10:12. > :10:16.throat so she pulled a hammer in self defence. She said Dennehy then

:10:17. > :10:21.apologised. Dennehy had been having an affair with Kevin Lee, a married

:10:22. > :10:29.father of two. She made him put on the dress shortly before he died. A

:10:30. > :10:36.witness said Dennehy told her he was gay. `` she was gay. Another

:10:37. > :10:43.witness, Kieron James, described seeing Gary Stretch leave the house

:10:44. > :10:47.near Peterborough at one night carrying a large, black refuse sack

:10:48. > :10:51.with something heavy inside. He placed it in the boot of his green

:10:52. > :10:56.Astra. The prosecution say he used it to dispose of the bodies. The car

:10:57. > :11:06.was registered in the name of a fictitious company called Undertaker

:11:07. > :11:08.And Sons. The breakfast show presenter for BBC

:11:09. > :11:12.Radio Northampton, Stuart Linnell, has been knocked over by a police

:11:13. > :11:15.car. It happened in Abington Square early this morning as Stuart was on

:11:16. > :11:19.his way to present his show. He s suffered severe bruising and will be

:11:20. > :11:22.off air for a few days. Police have launched an investigation.

:11:23. > :11:25.Fire officers have spent today investigating the cause of a fire

:11:26. > :11:27.which destroyed a warehouse in Newport Pagnell. Crews have

:11:28. > :11:30.continued to monitor the building today. The fire broke out just

:11:31. > :11:31.before two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Liebherr

:11:32. > :11:32.Distribution Centre. football pitch, and our intention is

:11:33. > :11:45.to make sure that we show enough on the football pitch that we start

:11:46. > :11:51.getting the points. Still to come, how our countryside is being changed

:11:52. > :11:54.as a result of rising fuel prices. And celebrating the life of Roger

:11:55. > :12:00.Lloyd`Pack. We talked with the director who worked with him.

:12:01. > :12:03.Last year, we revealed how Milton Keynes Council had the country's

:12:04. > :12:06.worst record outside London for placing homeless families in Bed

:12:07. > :12:11.Breakfasts and keeping them there too long. Now it's announced plans

:12:12. > :12:17.to spend ?4 million buying homes to rent out instead. It's not just

:12:18. > :12:21.buying ` it's also building. For the first time in 15 years, new council

:12:22. > :12:25.homes are being built to deal with the housing shortage. In a moment,

:12:26. > :12:31.we'll hear from our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair, but

:12:32. > :12:38.first this from Jessica Cooper. Home sweet home for Trooper and 20

:12:39. > :12:45.other people. Every night, this hostel is full. It is hard work. If

:12:46. > :12:49.you have no friends or family, you were on the street. At this time of

:12:50. > :12:53.the year, it is hard for anybody to be on the street. The council is

:12:54. > :12:58.planning to buy homes on the open market to help people most in need.

:12:59. > :13:02.I think something should have been done a long time ago. I don't think

:13:03. > :13:10.the council relies the amount of people that are homeless. They

:13:11. > :13:14.should do more. Won it would take a lot of homeless people off the

:13:15. > :13:18.streets. There are many under underpasses asking for money and

:13:19. > :13:22.food. Milton Keynes has had an ongoing problem with a shortage of

:13:23. > :13:26.places for people to leave. Last month, there were 53 people living

:13:27. > :13:31.in bed and breakfasts. Now the council wants to spend ?4 million

:13:32. > :13:37.buying 40 properties to rent to the homeless. Della mac is a radical

:13:38. > :13:40.step for us at a pragmatic step. It makes a lot of sense, because it

:13:41. > :13:45.allows us to make a difference quickly within six months to our bed

:13:46. > :13:49.and breakfast numbers. But some question whether 40 homes

:13:50. > :13:55.will make any difference in the long run. I think it will solve the

:13:56. > :14:00.emergency situation. The Milton Keynes Council finds it in in the

:14:01. > :14:05.meantime, back and give it another two or three years, and those homes

:14:06. > :14:10.will be occupied and I would imagine at least that number will be needed

:14:11. > :14:15.again. This is the typical property the council will want to acquire. It

:14:16. > :14:20.sounds like quite a lot if you are not used a boy `` buying 40

:14:21. > :14:24.properties in one go, but with the population and grace of Milton

:14:25. > :14:29.Keynes, it is not a huge amount. To acquire 40 properties is not a tall

:14:30. > :14:33.ask. If the plans are approved, buying could start by the end of

:14:34. > :14:36.next month. Next week, for the first time in over 15 years, the council

:14:37. > :14:48.will start building new council houses. Our political correspondent

:14:49. > :14:51.is he up. This is not unique to Milton Keynes Council is to elect

:14:52. > :14:55.councils were not allowed to build any new homes. Add to that the

:14:56. > :15:01.rising cost of the private property sector, and housing lists have

:15:02. > :15:04.rocketed by 70% of the last decade. Milton Keynes had a particular

:15:05. > :15:08.problem. They spent more than ?1 million last year on hotels and bed

:15:09. > :15:11.and breakfast accommodation. The government said we will help you if

:15:12. > :15:16.you come up with a radical solution. Here it is. I have to say

:15:17. > :15:22.that Labour are sceptical. They say this is a desperate measure to avert

:15:23. > :15:26.a disaster. They say the council may end up buying some of the homes it

:15:27. > :15:31.once old `` owned but sod off. Could it be copied by other

:15:32. > :15:35.authorities? Other authorities are watching. People I spoke to suspect

:15:36. > :15:40.other authorities may follow suit. The number of people on council

:15:41. > :15:43.waiting lists have started to come down in recent years, but that is as

:15:44. > :15:48.a lot of people waiting for permanent homes. 13,000 homes in

:15:49. > :15:52.Norfolk and Suffolk, 20,000 in Norfolk. That is partly because the

:15:53. > :15:55.government is starting to allow councils to build again. But it

:15:56. > :16:00.takes time to buy the land, corrupt the plans and build the houses.

:16:01. > :16:03.Being able to buy a ready`made home and put someone in it straightaway

:16:04. > :16:07.is a very risky and expensive way of doing it, but given the way the

:16:08. > :16:11.market is going, they might be a bit of profit when they come to sell the

:16:12. > :16:15.homes. Is the bottom line that the bottom line that there aren't enough

:16:16. > :16:19.affordable homes? Yes. Many people believe that housing will be the

:16:20. > :16:22.next election, not the economy. That is why the government is changing

:16:23. > :16:26.the planning laws to make it easier to build. That is why Labour say we

:16:27. > :16:30.will seize land of developers if they don't do quickly enough. The

:16:31. > :16:33.parties have woken up to how big a problem this is. Thank you.

:16:34. > :16:35.Rising fuel costs are having a significant impact on our

:16:36. > :16:39.countryside because there's a growing demand for wood to burn. 7%

:16:40. > :16:43.of the east of England is covered by woodland, but up until now, only

:16:44. > :16:47.half of it has been managed to produce timber or firewood. But as

:16:48. > :16:51.the cost of power keeps going up, more and more of us are heating our

:16:52. > :16:54.homes with open fires or log burners. That means there is money

:16:55. > :16:58.in it for landowners, who are now actively managing their woodland.

:16:59. > :17:08.This report from our business correspondent, Richard Bond.

:17:09. > :17:11.Any would? Learning how to copy it in a Suffolk wood. These college

:17:12. > :17:20.students are cutting diesel for firewood. These studs can go back

:17:21. > :17:27.for future harvest. These are skills back in demand. This really

:17:28. > :17:31.regenerate quickly, so it will grow in a number of years so you can use

:17:32. > :17:37.it again, is that would you cut down. It will keep on growing and

:17:38. > :17:40.growing. Likes to writing energy prices, the firewood market is

:17:41. > :17:43.booming. There is an increasing number of people with wood`burning

:17:44. > :17:47.stoves. People are concerned about rising cost of electricity and gas.

:17:48. > :17:55.A lot of people are looking outward as another means of heating their

:17:56. > :18:00.homes. Whether by `` via different kinds of burners. We need several

:18:01. > :18:04.new entrants to replace the people that are coming towards retirement

:18:05. > :18:11.age. Over the last ten years, average gas bills have risen by

:18:12. > :18:16.189%. Average electricity bills are now 136%. The cost of firewood has

:18:17. > :18:23.risen too, but not by as much as. It has risen by about 50 or 75%. Most

:18:24. > :18:27.of that is within the last few years. More than 7% of the East is

:18:28. > :18:31.covered with wood land, but only half of it is properly managed like

:18:32. > :18:38.this. That means 200,000 tonnes of timber is unused every year. But

:18:39. > :18:42.rising prices are encouraging landowners to bring neglected words

:18:43. > :18:50.account management. He has invested in this firewood processor. It is in

:18:51. > :18:56.his estate that the students are working in. The value of firewood

:18:57. > :19:04.was very well and was not an economically viable. However, in the

:19:05. > :19:07.last few years, prices have increased significantly, which makes

:19:08. > :19:14.it more viable to provide that service to customers. This is not

:19:15. > :19:20.just good business, it is also great for wildlife.

:19:21. > :19:24.I'm sure most have you have already heard the actor Roger Lloyd`Pack has

:19:25. > :19:27.died. He was 69, and had pancreatic cancer. The actor, who lived in

:19:28. > :19:31.Norfolk, was probably best known for his role as Trigger in Only Fools

:19:32. > :19:34.Horses, and later as the farmer Owen Newitt in the Vicar of Dibley. His

:19:35. > :19:38.more recent appearances included a lead role in the film In Love With

:19:39. > :19:44.Alma Cogan, which was filmed in Cromer. Tony Britten is the film's

:19:45. > :19:48.director, and he's here now. What was it like as a man? He wasn't

:19:49. > :20:00.trigger in real life. Della mac know. He was gentle. Sometimes

:20:01. > :20:06.grumpy. Endearing. In some ways, a private person, but had an enormous

:20:07. > :20:14.breadth of achievement. He was mad about poetry. His wife was a

:20:15. > :20:21.well`known poet, and I first saw him doing a poetry evening at a

:20:22. > :20:25.theatre, and he did well. Was he aware that he was central to

:20:26. > :20:31.some of the great comedy moments in British television? He can't have

:20:32. > :20:41.been aware. Did he resented? I think, sometimes. Hello, Trigger..

:20:42. > :20:48.His name is red. I think for any actor, I think it is a double`edged

:20:49. > :20:58.sword. I have no doubt that the doors Trigger. Open for human were

:20:59. > :21:01.very useful. People may not realise how diverse and after he was,

:21:02. > :21:06.because when he was doing a film with you, it was doing to get a

:21:07. > :21:12.Lasorda spy. He did a lot of stage work as well. It was funny, because

:21:13. > :21:17.I wrote the film for human, which is a nice thing to do, actually writing

:21:18. > :21:25.it film for an actor. He worked on with me. I figured became quite

:21:26. > :21:31.truthful. He said, if you can raise the money, I mean. We've raised the

:21:32. > :21:35.money and we shot it in 2010 in the worst winter in memory. He had been

:21:36. > :21:42.looking forward to jot down the coast from his home. Instead of

:21:43. > :21:46.which, he was clawing his way through the snow. When he wasn't

:21:47. > :21:49.working, he had to go down to London. The interesting thing was he

:21:50. > :21:59.was not an awful man, but he loved it. You moved here in 1970. He was

:22:00. > :22:05.in a film shot around Milton came. They put him up in this little

:22:06. > :22:11.college miles from anywhere. It was about ?2 a week. He loved it and

:22:12. > :22:16.stayed on and kept renting. He had been there ever since. He is a real

:22:17. > :22:21.Norfolk man. Never happier, I suspect. He liked stomping around

:22:22. > :22:25.the wood lands around the college and being on his own. The tributes

:22:26. > :22:30.have been pouring in. What do you think he would have made of all this

:22:31. > :22:35.fuss? I think it would have been a wry smile. I think he would have

:22:36. > :22:41.been chuffed, but he would have wondered what the fuss was about,

:22:42. > :22:47.because he was a proper actor. Thank you so much for coming in.

:22:48. > :22:49.Most of you won't know the name Arthur Wharton, but he was the

:22:50. > :22:59.world's first black professional footballer. He died more than 80

:23:00. > :23:02.years ago, but there is a growing campaign to get a statue in his

:23:03. > :23:08.honour. In its rich, his supporters gathered to hear good news.

:23:09. > :23:19.He is the pioneer and trailblazer. He is an icon and simple. The sun of

:23:20. > :23:24.a minister, are the key to go before Preston and a host of other clubs in

:23:25. > :23:28.the 1980s and 90s. He was a first`class cricketer and sprinter,

:23:29. > :23:35.but his story is hardly known. How big is the statue? It is 16 feet

:23:36. > :23:39.tall. It is beautiful. In Ipswich, some modern sporting heroes came to

:23:40. > :23:42.remember the world's black professional player, and heard how

:23:43. > :23:53.five years of campaigning has finally paid off. It is going to

:23:54. > :23:55.Saint Georges Park. Other's story is fluent, so the statue had to be

:23:56. > :24:01.fluent. Whichever way you walk around it, you have to imagine where

:24:02. > :24:07.the shot came from. Hosting the event was Ipswich's four`time

:24:08. > :24:10.Olympic bobsled. As a young soldier, he was the only black man in his

:24:11. > :24:19.regiment. He understands the isolation. It must've been

:24:20. > :24:26.incredible. At least they did know about some black people. I have a

:24:27. > :24:30.whole empathy with that. Sadly, the story had no happy ending. Shunned

:24:31. > :24:34.by his religious family for adultery, he lost his celebrity

:24:35. > :24:38.status and ended his days down the mines. He died an alcoholic in 1930

:24:39. > :24:45.and was buried in an unmarked grave. FIFA, the UEFA have helped

:24:46. > :24:54.pay for the statue. The boy who conquered racial prejudice to become

:24:55. > :25:01.a sporting hero is honoured at last. Time now for the weather. Low

:25:02. > :25:05.pressure continues to be the theme of our weather. There has been a

:25:06. > :25:09.large area of low pressure that has been moving into the British Isles.

:25:10. > :25:11.There have been shown was rotating around it. Even though we started

:25:12. > :25:16.dry and some of the summer sunshine, over the last few hours,

:25:17. > :25:20.the shells have moved eastwards. Some have been on the heavy side.

:25:21. > :25:25.We'll continue to see showers through this evening and overnight.

:25:26. > :25:29.Still one or two could be heavily. It will be a gusty wind associated

:25:30. > :25:33.with the showers. Lots of cloud around. We're not expecting to be

:25:34. > :25:36.justifiable particularly well tonight. We can expect loads of

:25:37. > :25:40.around five or six degrees. It is mild for this time of year.

:25:41. > :25:45.Tomorrow, it will be showers to start, especially in the morning.

:25:46. > :25:49.They are widespread, but in the afternoon, they will go away and we

:25:50. > :25:55.will see something more dry. Perhaps more bright, but on the whole, it

:25:56. > :25:59.will stay fairly cloudy. Temperatures similar to today, eight

:26:00. > :26:04.or nine degrees, but a more noticeable breeze. It might feel a

:26:05. > :26:07.bit more chilly. By the afternoon into the evening, much of the

:26:08. > :26:11.showers look as though they will die away. Looking ahead to the weekend,

:26:12. > :26:17.we're not far, so what will it have in store? A bit more of the low

:26:18. > :26:22.pressure. That means unsettled, but the detail will be difficult to pin

:26:23. > :26:29.down. Expect lots of cloud, rain at times, but perhaps an East and West

:26:30. > :26:32.divide between Saturday and Sunday. Both are today, it looks as though

:26:33. > :26:39.the West will see the best chance of seeing some rain, if you call to

:26:40. > :26:47.best chance. But is looking dry. Windy for Saturday. Winds are more

:26:48. > :26:51.for Sunday. There will be an Eastern front bringing outbreaks of rain at

:26:52. > :26:56.times. Temperatures will stay steady at around about where they are now

:26:57. > :27:01.by day and night. By the time we get to Monday, we have slightly lighter

:27:02. > :27:08.winds. Clearer skies, cooler temperatures. By Monday, we could be

:27:09. > :27:11.looking at ground frost in places. It is staying unsettled.

:27:12. > :27:15.Temperatures are above average for this time of year. We will see a lot

:27:16. > :27:20.of cloud, but by Monday, hopefully something brighter starting to break

:27:21. > :27:24.through. If you have a barometer, you might want to do a check on your

:27:25. > :27:35.barometer. We have a reading tonight. It is 989 millibars, and

:27:36. > :27:37.that is 29.21 inches. Back to you. Thank you very much.

:27:38. > :27:42.That's all for now.
