Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: It's all | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
about education ` the battle to beat the men grooming young girls. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Mourning Father Joseph ` hundreds attend the funeral of the priest | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
found dead in a supermarket car park. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
Why rising power bill means more work for the woodsmen. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
The tributes honouring the man thought to be the world's first | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
black professional footballer. First tonight: Children must be | :00:33. | :00:48. | |
taught how to recognise and report abuse at an earlier age. That's the | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
call today from the children's charity NSPCC. It follows | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
yesterday's conviction of two men and three teenage boys for a series | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
of rapes and sexual assaults against underage girls in Peterborough. The | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
city council has launched a serious case review to find out what lessons | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
can be learned from the case, but agrees with the need for better | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
education. We'll be speaking to the Chief Executive in a few moments, | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
but first this report from Emma Baugh. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
A class of teenagers at Peterborough's local school in a sex | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
education class. It became even more apparent that there have been young | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
people in Peterborough who have been abused, have been groomed, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
approached, for reasons which are really wrong. Even though none of | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
these young people were affected, the way they teach sex education | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
here has changed. It is only in the last 18 months or so that we've been | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
overtly teaching about child sexual expectation because I think it's | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
really important that schools keep up`to`date with that. It's no good | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
teaching it in the old`fashioned way of just avoiding pregnancy. Sex | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
education is much more important than that, and keeping them safe in | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
terms of error and social health and relationship safety. It was in this | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
part and others around Peterborough that girls were abused by groups of | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
men. Yesterday Hassan Abdulla and Zdeno Mirga were found guilty of | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
multiple rapes and sexual offences. Police say they are now | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
investigating a number of other cases right across Peterborough | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
involving different nationalities from ten different communities. We | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
are invading with a large number of people and urging them to share | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
their experiences, what they've heard and what they believe to be | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
the case. We'll be doing this for some months come. I anticipate | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
further charges and further trials in due course. Child welfare | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
charities say it's never too early to start educating children about | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
the dangers of sexual abuse. In this case in Peterborough, we do have | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
some very young victims. That's particularly important. Parents | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
should think that they don't wait until teenage years to talk to their | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
children about sexual matters but talk to them in their early years. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
The men in this case face sentencing next month but police say other | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
investigations are very much ongoing. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Gillian Beasley is the chief executive of Peterborough City | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Council. She's also a former child protection officer. The NSPCC says | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
we can't wait until secondary school to educate children about sexual | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
predators ` do you agree? I've listened to your piece and I think | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
there is excellent work happening at the academy you featured and they | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
need to be proactive and work hard in schools to get the message across | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
to young girls. But it is larger than that. I'm a parent and I'd want | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to know what to look for in my daughter. If her behaviour is | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
changing, things that aren't right. I'd also want to know how to report | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
that on one of the key messages in this case is that our social workers | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
and the police are trusted. There are people to really work with young | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
girls to tell their stories. That's what happened with these case and | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
why these men were convicted. You think parents shy away from sex | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
education is they're worried about taking their child's innocence? I | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
think there will be many parents listening to this today who want the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
best for their children and if they know education of this kind is going | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
to help them against these predatory and despicable criminals, they'd | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
want to go with it. You were in court to hear these children relive | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
their experiences. They thought they were going to die. It's up to all of | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
us to try to stop this, isn't it? I heard the youngest victim's evidence | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
and it was shocking. I went cold. She was describing how she thought | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
she would be killed and how her family and the people she loved most | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
of the world would be killed. One of the things that has come out of this | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
case is how we must understand the way these men operate, and how they | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
absolutely target young girls. They groom them and use them for sex and | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
that is education as well. It's us understanding as a society how these | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
men work. The city's MP Stuart Jackson says this case should ring | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
people we think immigration ` is that what this is about? `` make the | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
bull rethink immigration. My experience shows that this is not | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
men defined by their ethnicity or background but by a despicable | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
attitude towards children. We've seen the scenario in the Philippines | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
with abuse by the internet in the Philippines. I did an investigation | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
20 years ago of a caretaker who was abusing over 100 children. We've got | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
to understand how these men operate. They're ruthless in their | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
determination to target young girls and we've got to be equally ruthless | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
in the way that we understand how they operate and we wipe out this | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
kind of thing in Peterborough and across the country. Thanks for your | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
time. Meanwhile, an investigation by | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Northamptonshire Police has led to the breaking up of an international | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
child sex abuse ring. Officers paid a routine visit to a known sex | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
offender in Kettering. They found Timothy Ford was paying a family in | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
the Philippines to sexually abuse children live on webcams. He was | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
jailed last year but the investigation which followed has led | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
to 29 arrests around the world. His disappearance sparked concern | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
across the Catholic community of Luton. Three days later, that | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
concern became shock after Father Joseph Williams' body was found in | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
his car in a supermarket car park. Today hundreds of people ` including | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
the Bishop of Northampton and 5 Catholic priests ` attended his | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
funeral. Anna Todd reports. Every inch a parishioner, a friend, | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
a colleague, all paying tribute to Father Joseph Williams, who served | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
this community, this little church, for two years until his death just | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
after Christmas. So many priests that they had to sit in a side room. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
The Bishop of Northampton paid tribute to Father Joseph, | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
remembering how worried they'd been when he went missing. The concern | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
and helplessness that we had been feeling was replaced by an | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
anguished, turmoil and grief. It was at the news that he had been found | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
dead while on a simple shopping trip. Father Joseph, just 42 years | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
old, has appeared on December 2 . His body was found three days later, | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
slumped at the wheel of his car in this supermarket car park. Today's | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
service was an outpouring of sadness and disbelief. A lovely man. I still | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
think he's walking among us but as we know, it's not going to be and, | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
as you see, people come in and they loved him. This is a very strong | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
community and lots of people live near the church so there's a great | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
sense of a bond between the Irish and its people in the church and, of | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
course, the priest is the focus for that in different ways. `` the | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
parish and its people. Today Father Joe is a should have been | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
celebrating a belated Christmas with his family in Devon. Instead, his | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
others were in Devon for his funeral. `` his brothers. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
A jury's heard today that a man accused of helping a serial killer | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
dispose of her victim's bodies had warned she could kill. Joanna | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Dennehy stabbed three men to death, leaving their bodies in ditches near | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Peterborough. At Cambridge Crown Court, Gary Stretch and Leslie | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Layton deny preventing lawful burial of the victims. Stretch is also | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
accused of attempting to murder two men. This report from home affairs | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
correspondent Sally Chidzoy. The jury heard more about the victim's | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
character at the trial today. `` about Joanna Dennehy's character. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
These men died during the ten day killing spree. Their bodies, one in | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
a black sequinned dress, were found in two ditches near Peterborough at | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
nine months ago. The jury were told that Gary stretch, described as | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Dennehy's trusted aide, had confided in one witness that she could kill. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Carla White lived in the same house as a seven tall Gary stretch, whom | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
she described as a gentle giant She said he told her that Dennehy would | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
kill the victim David Lee `` Kevin Lee because she was distressed he | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
hadn't paid her for decorating work. She said he was very rude and | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
arrogant and that the serial killer had, for no reason, grabbed her | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
throat so she pulled a hammer in self defence. She said Dennehy then | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
apologised. Dennehy had been having an affair with Kevin Lee, a married | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
father of two. She made him put on the dress shortly before he died. A | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
witness said Dennehy told her he was gay. `` she was gay. Another | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
witness, Kieron James, described seeing Gary Stretch leave the house | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
near Peterborough at one night carrying a large, black refuse sack | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
with something heavy inside. He placed it in the boot of his green | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
Astra. The prosecution say he used it to dispose of the bodies. The car | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
was registered in the name of a fictitious company called Undertaker | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
And Sons. The breakfast show presenter for BBC | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
Radio Northampton, Stuart Linnell, has been knocked over by a police | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
car. It happened in Abington Square early this morning as Stuart was on | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
his way to present his show. He s suffered severe bruising and will be | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
off air for a few days. Police have launched an investigation. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Fire officers have spent today investigating the cause of a fire | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
which destroyed a warehouse in Newport Pagnell. Crews have | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
continued to monitor the building today. The fire broke out just | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
before two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Liebherr | :11:31. | :11:31. | |
Distribution Centre. football pitch, and our intention is | :11:32. | :11:32. | |
to make sure that we show enough on the football pitch that we start | :11:33. | :11:45. | |
getting the points. Still to come, how our countryside is being changed | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
as a result of rising fuel prices. And celebrating the life of Roger | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Lloyd`Pack. We talked with the director who worked with him. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Last year, we revealed how Milton Keynes Council had the country's | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
worst record outside London for placing homeless families in Bed | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Breakfasts and keeping them there too long. Now it's announced plans | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
to spend ?4 million buying homes to rent out instead. It's not just | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
buying ` it's also building. For the first time in 15 years, new council | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
homes are being built to deal with the housing shortage. In a moment, | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
we'll hear from our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair, but | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
first this from Jessica Cooper. Home sweet home for Trooper and 20 | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
other people. Every night, this hostel is full. It is hard work. If | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
you have no friends or family, you were on the street. At this time of | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
the year, it is hard for anybody to be on the street. The council is | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
planning to buy homes on the open market to help people most in need. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
I think something should have been done a long time ago. I don't think | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
the council relies the amount of people that are homeless. They | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
should do more. Won it would take a lot of homeless people off the | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
streets. There are many under underpasses asking for money and | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
food. Milton Keynes has had an ongoing problem with a shortage of | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
places for people to leave. Last month, there were 53 people living | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
in bed and breakfasts. Now the council wants to spend ?4 million | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
buying 40 properties to rent to the homeless. Della mac is a radical | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
step for us at a pragmatic step. It makes a lot of sense, because it | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
allows us to make a difference quickly within six months to our bed | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
and breakfast numbers. But some question whether 40 homes | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
will make any difference in the long run. I think it will solve the | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
emergency situation. The Milton Keynes Council finds it in in the | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
meantime, back and give it another two or three years, and those homes | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
will be occupied and I would imagine at least that number will be needed | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
again. This is the typical property the council will want to acquire. It | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
sounds like quite a lot if you are not used a boy `` buying 40 | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
properties in one go, but with the population and grace of Milton | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Keynes, it is not a huge amount. To acquire 40 properties is not a tall | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
ask. If the plans are approved, buying could start by the end of | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
next month. Next week, for the first time in over 15 years, the council | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
will start building new council houses. Our political correspondent | :14:37. | :14:48. | |
is he up. This is not unique to Milton Keynes Council is to elect | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
councils were not allowed to build any new homes. Add to that the | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
rising cost of the private property sector, and housing lists have | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
rocketed by 70% of the last decade. Milton Keynes had a particular | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
problem. They spent more than ?1 million last year on hotels and bed | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
and breakfast accommodation. The government said we will help you if | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
you come up with a radical solution. Here it is. I have to say | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
that Labour are sceptical. They say this is a desperate measure to avert | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
a disaster. They say the council may end up buying some of the homes it | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
once old `` owned but sod off. Could it be copied by other | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
authorities? Other authorities are watching. People I spoke to suspect | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
other authorities may follow suit. The number of people on council | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
waiting lists have started to come down in recent years, but that is as | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
a lot of people waiting for permanent homes. 13,000 homes in | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
Norfolk and Suffolk, 20,000 in Norfolk. That is partly because the | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
government is starting to allow councils to build again. But it | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
takes time to buy the land, corrupt the plans and build the houses. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Being able to buy a ready`made home and put someone in it straightaway | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
is a very risky and expensive way of doing it, but given the way the | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
market is going, they might be a bit of profit when they come to sell the | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
homes. Is the bottom line that the bottom line that there aren't enough | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
affordable homes? Yes. Many people believe that housing will be the | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
next election, not the economy. That is why the government is changing | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
the planning laws to make it easier to build. That is why Labour say we | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
will seize land of developers if they don't do quickly enough. The | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
parties have woken up to how big a problem this is. Thank you. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Rising fuel costs are having a significant impact on our | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
countryside because there's a growing demand for wood to burn. 7% | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
of the east of England is covered by woodland, but up until now, only | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
half of it has been managed to produce timber or firewood. But as | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
the cost of power keeps going up, more and more of us are heating our | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
homes with open fires or log burners. That means there is money | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
in it for landowners, who are now actively managing their woodland. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
This report from our business correspondent, Richard Bond. | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
Any would? Learning how to copy it in a Suffolk wood. These college | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
students are cutting diesel for firewood. These studs can go back | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
for future harvest. These are skills back in demand. This really | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
regenerate quickly, so it will grow in a number of years so you can use | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
it again, is that would you cut down. It will keep on growing and | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
growing. Likes to writing energy prices, the firewood market is | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
booming. There is an increasing number of people with wood`burning | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
stoves. People are concerned about rising cost of electricity and gas. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
A lot of people are looking outward as another means of heating their | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
homes. Whether by `` via different kinds of burners. We need several | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
new entrants to replace the people that are coming towards retirement | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
age. Over the last ten years, average gas bills have risen by | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
189%. Average electricity bills are now 136%. The cost of firewood has | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
risen too, but not by as much as. It has risen by about 50 or 75%. Most | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
of that is within the last few years. More than 7% of the East is | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
covered with wood land, but only half of it is properly managed like | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
this. That means 200,000 tonnes of timber is unused every year. But | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
rising prices are encouraging landowners to bring neglected words | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
account management. He has invested in this firewood processor. It is in | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
his estate that the students are working in. The value of firewood | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
was very well and was not an economically viable. However, in the | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
last few years, prices have increased significantly, which makes | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
it more viable to provide that service to customers. This is not | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
just good business, it is also great for wildlife. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
I'm sure most have you have already heard the actor Roger Lloyd`Pack has | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
died. He was 69, and had pancreatic cancer. The actor, who lived in | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
Norfolk, was probably best known for his role as Trigger in Only Fools | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Horses, and later as the farmer Owen Newitt in the Vicar of Dibley. His | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
more recent appearances included a lead role in the film In Love With | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Alma Cogan, which was filmed in Cromer. Tony Britten is the film's | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
director, and he's here now. What was it like as a man? He wasn't | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
trigger in real life. Della mac know. He was gentle. Sometimes | :19:49. | :20:00. | |
grumpy. Endearing. In some ways, a private person, but had an enormous | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
breadth of achievement. He was mad about poetry. His wife was a | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
well`known poet, and I first saw him doing a poetry evening at a | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
theatre, and he did well. Was he aware that he was central to | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
some of the great comedy moments in British television? He can't have | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
been aware. Did he resented? I think, sometimes. Hello, Trigger.. | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
His name is red. I think for any actor, I think it is a double`edged | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
sword. I have no doubt that the doors Trigger. Open for human were | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
very useful. People may not realise how diverse and after he was, | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
because when he was doing a film with you, it was doing to get a | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Lasorda spy. He did a lot of stage work as well. It was funny, because | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
I wrote the film for human, which is a nice thing to do, actually writing | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
it film for an actor. He worked on with me. I figured became quite | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
truthful. He said, if you can raise the money, I mean. We've raised the | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
money and we shot it in 2010 in the worst winter in memory. He had been | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
looking forward to jot down the coast from his home. Instead of | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
which, he was clawing his way through the snow. When he wasn't | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
working, he had to go down to London. The interesting thing was he | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
was not an awful man, but he loved it. You moved here in 1970. He was | :21:50. | :21:59. | |
in a film shot around Milton came. They put him up in this little | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
college miles from anywhere. It was about ?2 a week. He loved it and | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
stayed on and kept renting. He had been there ever since. He is a real | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Norfolk man. Never happier, I suspect. He liked stomping around | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
the wood lands around the college and being on his own. The tributes | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
have been pouring in. What do you think he would have made of all this | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
fuss? I think it would have been a wry smile. I think he would have | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
been chuffed, but he would have wondered what the fuss was about, | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
because he was a proper actor. Thank you so much for coming in. | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
Most of you won't know the name Arthur Wharton, but he was the | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
world's first black professional footballer. He died more than 80 | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
years ago, but there is a growing campaign to get a statue in his | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
honour. In its rich, his supporters gathered to hear good news. | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
He is the pioneer and trailblazer. He is an icon and simple. The sun of | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
a minister, are the key to go before Preston and a host of other clubs in | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
the 1980s and 90s. He was a first`class cricketer and sprinter, | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
but his story is hardly known. How big is the statue? It is 16 feet | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
tall. It is beautiful. In Ipswich, some modern sporting heroes came to | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
remember the world's black professional player, and heard how | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
five years of campaigning has finally paid off. It is going to | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
Saint Georges Park. Other's story is fluent, so the statue had to be | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
fluent. Whichever way you walk around it, you have to imagine where | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
the shot came from. Hosting the event was Ipswich's four`time | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
Olympic bobsled. As a young soldier, he was the only black man in his | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
regiment. He understands the isolation. It must've been | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
incredible. At least they did know about some black people. I have a | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
whole empathy with that. Sadly, the story had no happy ending. Shunned | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
by his religious family for adultery, he lost his celebrity | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
status and ended his days down the mines. He died an alcoholic in 1930 | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
and was buried in an unmarked grave. FIFA, the UEFA have helped | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
pay for the statue. The boy who conquered racial prejudice to become | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
a sporting hero is honoured at last. Time now for the weather. Low | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
pressure continues to be the theme of our weather. There has been a | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
large area of low pressure that has been moving into the British Isles. | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
There have been shown was rotating around it. Even though we started | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
dry and some of the summer sunshine, over the last few hours, | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
the shells have moved eastwards. Some have been on the heavy side. | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
We'll continue to see showers through this evening and overnight. | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
Still one or two could be heavily. It will be a gusty wind associated | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
with the showers. Lots of cloud around. We're not expecting to be | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
justifiable particularly well tonight. We can expect loads of | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
around five or six degrees. It is mild for this time of year. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Tomorrow, it will be showers to start, especially in the morning. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
They are widespread, but in the afternoon, they will go away and we | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
will see something more dry. Perhaps more bright, but on the whole, it | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
will stay fairly cloudy. Temperatures similar to today, eight | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
or nine degrees, but a more noticeable breeze. It might feel a | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
bit more chilly. By the afternoon into the evening, much of the | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
showers look as though they will die away. Looking ahead to the weekend, | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
we're not far, so what will it have in store? A bit more of the low | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
pressure. That means unsettled, but the detail will be difficult to pin | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
down. Expect lots of cloud, rain at times, but perhaps an East and West | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
divide between Saturday and Sunday. Both are today, it looks as though | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
the West will see the best chance of seeing some rain, if you call to | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
best chance. But is looking dry. Windy for Saturday. Winds are more | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
for Sunday. There will be an Eastern front bringing outbreaks of rain at | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
times. Temperatures will stay steady at around about where they are now | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
by day and night. By the time we get to Monday, we have slightly lighter | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
winds. Clearer skies, cooler temperatures. By Monday, we could be | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
looking at ground frost in places. It is staying unsettled. | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Temperatures are above average for this time of year. We will see a lot | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
of cloud, but by Monday, hopefully something brighter starting to break | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
through. If you have a barometer, you might want to do a check on your | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
barometer. We have a reading tonight. It is 989 millibars, and | :27:25. | :27:35. | |
that is 29.21 inches. Back to you. Thank you very much. | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
That's all for now. | :27:38. | :27:42. |
