:00:07. > :00:14.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: Did these men
:00:15. > :00:18.fear for their lives or were they willing accomplices? The judge sums
:00:19. > :00:24.up in the trial of two men who are accused of assisting Peterborough
:00:25. > :00:30.serial killer Joanna Dennehy. A life transformed by birdsong. A
:00:31. > :00:36.treatment for tinnitus as growing numbers of children are diagnosed.
:00:37. > :00:42.Later: No end in sight to the soggy weather. The experts said we will
:00:43. > :00:45.have to get used to seems like this. We have had four incidents where
:00:46. > :00:52.motorists have driven into floodwater. And how to make your
:00:53. > :01:04.debut for England. Saints player Luther Burrell gets off to a
:01:05. > :01:10.fantastic start in the Six Nations. First, the words of the judge in the
:01:11. > :01:15.trial of two men accused of assisting the Peterborough serial
:01:16. > :01:19.killer Joanna Dennehy. Summing up, Mr Justice Spencer told the jury, if
:01:20. > :01:25.you believe the men feared for their lives, they should be cleared of any
:01:26. > :01:28.wrongdoing. Gary Stretch and Leslie Layton denied being willing
:01:29. > :01:32.accomplices during the killing spree last spring when Joanna Dennehy
:01:33. > :01:40.murdered three men and tried to kill two more. Our correspondent joins us
:01:41. > :01:46.from Cambridge Crown Court. As this case reaches its closing
:01:47. > :01:51.stages, this was the day the judge, Mr Justice Spencer, went over the
:01:52. > :01:57.details and the evidence for the benefit of the jury. He said, do not
:01:58. > :02:01.allow yourselves to be influenced by in motion. You must put aside all
:02:02. > :02:07.feelings of sympathy and of prejudice. The judge told the jury
:02:08. > :02:11.is, cuatro men and eight women, that the prosecution had sought to prove
:02:12. > :02:16.that Gary Stretch and Leslie Layton were willing participants in helping
:02:17. > :02:21.Joanna Dennehy in the disposal of the bodies of her three victims
:02:22. > :02:25.They were all stabbed in the Hajj during her 10`day killing spree But
:02:26. > :02:31.he said the defence case was that the men were acting under duress.
:02:32. > :02:34.They say you should not underestimate the evil and malign
:02:35. > :02:38.influence of Joanna Dennehy. The judge told the jury as if they
:02:39. > :02:42.believed the men were in fear of death or serious harm they could
:02:43. > :02:47.claim they were acting under duress and should be found not guilty.
:02:48. > :02:52.Would a reasonable person placed in the defenders' situation have been
:02:53. > :02:58.driven to act in the way they did? The men have not given evidence in
:02:59. > :03:04.their own defence. The victim was' bodies were all found in ditches
:03:05. > :03:12.last March. Joanna Dennehy then stabbed two men in random attacks,
:03:13. > :03:16.but they survived. Leslie Layton denies perverting the course of
:03:17. > :03:22.justice and two counts preventing the lawful burial of two victims.
:03:23. > :03:28.The judge said the juror 's had plenty of evidence on Joanna
:03:29. > :03:34.Dennehy. He said, she could be charming and pleasant, but there was
:03:35. > :03:39.a much darker side to her. She has already admitted three murders and
:03:40. > :03:43.two attempted murders and summing up will resume at Cambridge Caravan
:03:44. > :03:50.Court tomorrow morning. The jury is expected to go out sometime in the
:03:51. > :03:55.afternoon to consider their verdict. `` Cambridge Crown Court. The Labour
:03:56. > :03:57.Party has launched an investigation following allegations of vote
:03:58. > :04:02.rigging in Luton. It follows growing concern that
:04:03. > :04:06.dozens of new Labour members could have been signed up in an attempt to
:04:07. > :04:11.influence the outcome of local party elections. It is known as membership
:04:12. > :04:19.packing. According to the Luton South MP, Gavin Shuker, he says
:04:20. > :04:22.democracy no longer exists in his constituency.
:04:23. > :04:27.Headteacher's please and crime commission has been a Labour member
:04:28. > :04:32.since the age of 15. Now he is concerned candidates like his deputy
:04:33. > :04:37.are not being reselected. He suspects foul play. You can see
:04:38. > :04:45.evidence of it. It is the underlying cause behind the two councillors we
:04:46. > :04:49.have seen being deselected. My deputy and Councillor Robin Harris,
:04:50. > :04:57.the council finance chief. That to me suggests there is something
:04:58. > :05:02.amiss. Luton Labour's investigation is underway. Looking for evidence of
:05:03. > :05:06.people joining the party to influence elections. Luton's MPs I
:05:07. > :05:11.the only two Labour have in the whole of the Eastern region. The
:05:12. > :05:17.council is Labour majority. This is an important part of the world for
:05:18. > :05:21.the party. Could this be damaging? It is clear membership packing has a
:05:22. > :05:26.direct effect on those people who get elected. In some parts of my
:05:27. > :05:34.constituency around local government selections, for example, the person
:05:35. > :05:37.who gets elected is not the best person necessarily, it is whoever
:05:38. > :05:43.has signed up enough members. Others in the party say it sounds like sour
:05:44. > :05:47.grapes. In all parties when you have a hotly contested election, when
:05:48. > :05:51.rival candidates will get their supporters along to a meeting to
:05:52. > :05:56.vote for them, it has happened for years and the people who lose do not
:05:57. > :06:00.like losing and they complain about things being undemocratic. That is
:06:01. > :06:07.part of the hurly`burly of politics. But it does not stack up
:06:08. > :06:13.says Ollie Martins and he hopes the investigation will uncover why
:06:14. > :06:16.capable councillors are being deselected.
:06:17. > :06:21.Our political reporter has been following this story closely. You
:06:22. > :06:27.have spoken to the local party. What did they say? They told me the
:06:28. > :06:30.investigation began today and was commissioned by the general
:06:31. > :06:35.secretary of the National party It is not clear what he is looking into
:06:36. > :06:40.other than these allegations of membership packing. One option open
:06:41. > :06:44.to him is to place the constituency into special measures which would
:06:45. > :06:49.effectively wrestle control away from the local party and place it in
:06:50. > :06:54.the hands of the National party It is not clear whether that would go
:06:55. > :06:58.any way to solving the problems This is deeply embarrassing for
:06:59. > :07:04.Labour. Absolutely and it has revealed pretty deep and bitter
:07:05. > :07:09.wounds in some areas. Some people say it is a serious problem and some
:07:10. > :07:13.people say it is not a problem and refute the claims. The regional
:07:14. > :07:17.party on Friday said it would be happy with the way the selections
:07:18. > :07:23.have been conducted. But that combined with the resignation of
:07:24. > :07:27.this very experienced counsellor in charge of the finance budget weeks
:07:28. > :07:32.before the budget is due to be revealed is very embarrassing for
:07:33. > :07:38.the party and this investigation is not clear whether it will heal those
:07:39. > :07:42.wounds. An inquest has begun into the death of a pensioner from
:07:43. > :07:47.Northampton killed in a house fire that was started by her son in law.
:07:48. > :07:52.75`year`old Mavis Clift died in the fire on New Year's Day in 2008. Her
:07:53. > :07:57.son`in`law was charged with murder but died on remand in prison.
:07:58. > :08:03.It was a ferocious house fire that took the life of an innocent
:08:04. > :08:08.pensioner. Just hours before, 75`year`old Mavis Clift had been
:08:09. > :08:14.celebrating the start of 2008 with her family. As they slept her home
:08:15. > :08:18.was deliberately set alight. The man responsible was Paul Barber, the
:08:19. > :08:23.estranged husband of Mavis's daughter Susan who had moved back in
:08:24. > :08:28.with her parents to get away from him. For eight months since their
:08:29. > :08:34.split he had harassed and subjected her to abuse. On New Year's Day he
:08:35. > :08:40.drove to the house in Northampton and poured petrol through the
:08:41. > :08:44.letterbox. After it was ignited the fire spread rapidly, trapping the
:08:45. > :08:49.family upstairs. Firefighters found Mavis Clift's body in the bedroom at
:08:50. > :08:54.the front of the terraced house Paul Barbara was arrested and
:08:55. > :09:00.charged with her murder, but died in March, 2009, at Woodhill prison in
:09:01. > :09:05.Milton Keynes while awaiting trial. It later emerged Susan and her
:09:06. > :09:11.family had contacted police more than 32 times about his behaviour
:09:12. > :09:14.between March and September, 20 7. It is now acknowledged there were
:09:15. > :09:19.serious failings in the way the police and other agencies had dealt
:09:20. > :09:35.with the case. Today the start of an inquest into the death of Mavis
:09:36. > :09:38.Clift the jury were told it is not their job to find people guilty or
:09:39. > :09:40.innocent, but to establish how she died and what the circumstances were
:09:41. > :09:42.surrounding her death. The hearing is expected to last 25 days.
:09:43. > :09:46.A police officer from Stevenage has been given 12 months in prison for
:09:47. > :09:49.corruption. 35`year`old Erfan Hussein, an officer with
:09:50. > :09:56.Hertfordshire police, stopped speeding drivers and ordered them to
:09:57. > :09:59.hand over a fine which he then kept. Assessment of birdsong has
:10:00. > :10:04.transformed the lives of a young boy suffering from tonight is.
:10:05. > :10:09.11`year`old Leo Bamford from Luton suffered so badly that it kept him
:10:10. > :10:15.awake at night. But the treatment from Addenbrooke's Hospital means
:10:16. > :10:18.his condition is now improving. Imagine if whenever there was
:10:19. > :10:24.silence and you try to concentrate you could hear this.
:10:25. > :10:30.It is what 11`year`old Leo suffers from, constant tinnitus. My one is a
:10:31. > :10:39.high`pitched sound that continues for a long time. It does not stop.
:10:40. > :10:48.When do you hear it? Every time Does it ever go away? No. How does
:10:49. > :10:54.that affect you? If I do not get an night's sleep, in the morning I will
:10:55. > :10:59.not concentrate. He now relies on this sound box which makes a noise
:11:00. > :11:06.at night which masks the ringing in his ears and let him sleep right
:11:07. > :11:14.through. You turn the sound up and then you put it onto this. Which
:11:15. > :11:20.sound do you use? I use the bird sound. Those who suffer here a
:11:21. > :11:26.variety of sounds in the inner ear. For some people it is a ringing for
:11:27. > :11:31.some it is a buzzing. It is thought around one in 100 are affected so
:11:32. > :11:36.badly it causes them real distress. At the moment there is no known
:11:37. > :11:41.cure. Leo drew this picture when he was eight. It helped his doctor
:11:42. > :11:45.identified the problem. At Addenbrooke's Hospital they are
:11:46. > :11:49.seeing more children with senators. It might be that there are more
:11:50. > :11:54.children with the problem, but it might also be there is a greater
:11:55. > :12:00.understanding this can be a problem amongst parents and GPs and ear nose
:12:01. > :12:07.and throat surgeons and audiologists. Their ICDs and local
:12:08. > :12:11.radio stations that play birdsong, but Leo's life has been transformed
:12:12. > :12:17.by this device, which gives him something many of us take for
:12:18. > :12:22.granted, a good night's sleep. Two people are being treated in hospital
:12:23. > :12:26.tonight after a chemical spill at a school in Northampton.
:12:27. > :12:31.150 staff and pupils at Greenfields School and Sports College were all
:12:32. > :12:37.safely evacuated this morning. Due to the nature of the chemical spill
:12:38. > :12:41.we have had the fire brigade, police and ambulance. This is a school for
:12:42. > :12:45.people with severe disability, so we have had to get the children home
:12:46. > :12:49.which is quite an operation. Tendring District Council and has
:12:50. > :12:56.now apologised to his colleagues in a letter.
:12:57. > :13:00.Still to come: An amazing debut in the six Nations full Luther Burrell.
:13:01. > :13:09.Plus, the remarkable sound of a pianist
:13:10. > :13:18.with one hand. The Environment Agency has been
:13:19. > :13:22.defending itself today over complaints about its handling of the
:13:23. > :13:25.flooding crisis in Somerset. And closer to home, the Agency has
:13:26. > :13:30.repeated its assertion that it cannot afford to defend all of the
:13:31. > :13:34.areas prone to flooding. As you can see from this weather map, produced
:13:35. > :13:37.by The Met Office, parts of Essex have been deluged in recent weeks,
:13:38. > :13:40.and today many areas around the river Chelmer are still under flood
:13:41. > :13:46.water. So, what can be done here? Alex Dunlop has tonight's special
:13:47. > :13:52.report. When a site like this or this
:13:53. > :13:56.prompts a weary sigh, you know this is an issue which will not go away
:13:57. > :13:59.soon. In Essex, some drivers braved floodwaters. More than half a dozen
:14:00. > :14:04.had to be rescued from their vehicles. I would really ask
:14:05. > :14:08.motorists, stop and look at water, and think can you get through it?
:14:09. > :14:13.The fact you have stopped indicate you probably can't. Turn around and
:14:14. > :14:15.go another way. Meanwhile, in Cambridgeshire, this farmer says the
:14:16. > :14:22.flood water is threatening to ruin his livelihood and that of others.
:14:23. > :14:30.If we get a larger flood or more rain, the site will flood. It is
:14:31. > :14:33.just absolutely common sense. The weather has been exceptional. Part
:14:34. > :14:37.of the fans have seen three times the average rainfall for January.
:14:38. > :14:41.Because of this rapidly changing Atlantic pattern, there is no time
:14:42. > :14:46.for the water to drain away, so you end up with one lot of water falling
:14:47. > :14:49.on the soil to keep it saturated and the next lot of rain comes through,
:14:50. > :14:53.and it can't go anywhere but run straight up into the rivers drains,
:14:54. > :14:57.and cause the stress on the water management systems. Long`term
:14:58. > :15:01.solutions are planned. This weekend, the Ireland agency showed off a ?28
:15:02. > :15:04.million defence scheme for Great Yarmouth. Another is on the cards
:15:05. > :15:10.babes which. But today, the agency chairman said there is no bottomless
:15:11. > :15:14.purse. We could face a stark choice Dashti protect town or country from
:15:15. > :15:18.flooding. How do you decide whether to build fences and where to
:15:19. > :15:22.prioritise? Recently, the drive has been around protecting prebuilt
:15:23. > :15:26.property, but making those kind of decisions, we are also mindful of
:15:27. > :15:29.the commercial benefits defence schemes can bring, not only
:15:30. > :15:34.protecting properties but also jobs. Some experts say which is that back
:15:35. > :15:38.and take the long view, and it is not good news. Since the last ice
:15:39. > :15:44.age, written has actually seesawed so that Scotland has been rising and
:15:45. > :15:48.East Anglia has sunk by several millimetres per year. Scotland is
:15:49. > :15:52.still rising and East Anglia is still sinking. Is a noticeable in
:15:53. > :15:57.our lifetimes? There is a measurable change every year, and that is
:15:58. > :16:01.making the local sea level rise and making that more of a problem in
:16:02. > :16:04.East Anglia than elsewhere in the country. Ultimately, it is
:16:05. > :16:09.politicians who designed where our defences go. They are about to
:16:10. > :16:12.announce next year's flood protection budget. The government
:16:13. > :16:15.engineers and environmentalists acknowledge that some places may
:16:16. > :16:18.have to be sacrificed so that others can be saved.
:16:19. > :16:21.A wealthy businessman from Norfolk is being touted tonight as the next
:16:22. > :16:25.chairman of the education watchdog Ofsted. The speculation was
:16:26. > :16:29.triggered by the removal of the current chairman Sally Morgan. That
:16:30. > :16:34.decision, by the Education Secretary Michael Gove, has led to claims of
:16:35. > :16:39.cronyism. The first name connected with the vacancy is Theodore Agnew.
:16:40. > :16:48.He is the founder of a chain of new academy schools in Norfolk and
:16:49. > :16:55.Suffolk and a Tory supporter. He is little highly influential, and
:16:56. > :16:58.he founded the Inspiration Trust, which runs seven academy schools
:16:59. > :17:02.across Norfolk. Now he is also one of the front runners to become the
:17:03. > :17:06.new head of Ofsted. The son of a Norfolk farmer, Mr Agnew was a Tory
:17:07. > :17:13.party donor and in 2010, he advised Michael Gove, with whom he is a keen
:17:14. > :17:19.supporter. He is a most remarkable man, and he has come into education
:17:20. > :17:22.with a real mission to raise educational standards. It is the
:17:23. > :17:26.only job he wanted to do in governments, and he is making a
:17:27. > :17:30.difference. The Ofsted jobs available because Michael Gove has
:17:31. > :17:35.ousted the current occupant, Labour peer Baroness Morgan. She has called
:17:36. > :17:39.the decision politically motivated. Like Mr Gove, Mr Agnew is a firm
:17:40. > :17:43.believer in the academy system and strong leadership in schools. That
:17:44. > :17:46.goes to the heart of the problem. Good leadership in schools is what
:17:47. > :17:51.tends them around, and that is what I am absolutely focused on in our
:17:52. > :17:55.trust, that we will have really good leaders, and that is what will lift
:17:56. > :17:59.the standards. With the prospect of someone so close to government
:18:00. > :18:03.heading Ofsted, that has not done down well with teachers, and their
:18:04. > :18:07.union said it would oppose his appointment. The appointment of
:18:08. > :18:10.someone like Theodore Agnew raises very serious concerns about how
:18:11. > :18:16.independent Ofsted will continue to be. There are already concerns about
:18:17. > :18:18.how it operates, but to put in someone so closely linked with
:18:19. > :18:22.government really does raise questions about whether it cannot
:18:23. > :18:26.break effectively in an independent manner. So far, Mr Agnew has not
:18:27. > :18:30.commented on the speculation about the Ofsted role, but for many, his
:18:31. > :18:32.closeness to Mr Gove and his conservative credentials mean he is
:18:33. > :18:36.very much a front runner. Right, let's have a look at the
:18:37. > :18:39.sport. If you watched the rugby this weekend, you will know the name of
:18:40. > :18:43.Luther Burrell. Yes, the Northampton centre played a starring role in the
:18:44. > :18:46.Six Nations epic in Paris. Watching the game for us was Tom Williams.
:18:47. > :18:50.Indeed. As debuts go, it was a heartbreaking
:18:51. > :18:52.one for Northampton Saints' Luther Burrell, in the Six Nations on
:18:53. > :18:55.Saturday. He's received widespread praise helping England launch an
:18:56. > :18:59.astonishing comeback from 16`3 down, scoring under the posts, only to be
:19:00. > :19:10.cruelly denied as France scored the match`winning try, two minutes from
:19:11. > :19:13.time. From cold nights playing for Rotherham at Sedgley Park to an
:19:14. > :19:18.England debut in the Calder another Stade de France. Luther Burrell's
:19:19. > :19:22.rise to the red Rose has attracted plenty of headlines, but there was
:19:23. > :19:29.no room for romance in Paris. The French flair was back. England were
:19:30. > :19:33.in trouble. At half`time, it couldn't come soon enough. Luther
:19:34. > :19:36.regrouped alongside his team`mates, and within minutes, he was living
:19:37. > :19:39.the dream, running under the posts to give England and unlike the
:19:40. > :19:44.lead. Few had heard of Luther Burrell when he signed a few years
:19:45. > :19:46.ago. He failed to secure a premiership first`team place, and
:19:47. > :19:51.had even been loaned out to championship clubs, but the Saints
:19:52. > :19:54.thought he was worth something. It proved a wise investment. Watching
:19:55. > :19:59.back home, a former team`mate who had watched England beat the French
:20:00. > :20:04.during the 90s. He was one of many impressed by his turnaround in
:20:05. > :20:07.fortunes. He did what has he has been doing well all season. He took
:20:08. > :20:11.the ball, had a great physical presence, did not look fazed at all.
:20:12. > :20:16.I have no doubt this will be his only cap. Sadly, the dream was not
:20:17. > :20:20.to last. A late change saw him move to the wing, and England took
:20:21. > :20:24.advantage of the defensive confusion. It was a cruel and to an
:20:25. > :20:27.unforgiving match. We are in that game, we have a few phases together,
:20:28. > :20:32.we played well, we made a couple of errors, we didn't go off to the gate
:20:33. > :20:35.is the start, but we are very disappointed. On the flip side,
:20:36. > :20:39.France were fantastic. They really came at us, and fair play to them
:20:40. > :20:45.for getting a try at the end. It just shows you can't shut off before
:20:46. > :20:46.80 minutes. A frenetic finish to a memorable match, but an unlucky
:20:47. > :20:50.loser. Now to football, and Norwich, along
:20:51. > :20:53.with Newcastle, have been charged by the FA for failing to control their
:20:54. > :20:56.players during last week's Premier League match. Bradley Johnson and
:20:57. > :20:59.Loic Remy were both sent off after a scuffle involving several players.
:21:00. > :21:04.Johnson's ban was overturned. The clubs have until 6pm on Wednesday to
:21:05. > :21:08.respond to the charge. Now from one scrap to another, and
:21:09. > :21:11.City's fight for survival. The bare facts make pretty grim reading. In
:21:12. > :21:18.24 league games, Norwich have scored 19 times ` less than a goal a game.
:21:19. > :21:22.They've failed to score at all on nine occasions. In the two games
:21:23. > :21:29.against Cardiff this season, they've had a whopping 58 shots, scoring
:21:30. > :21:32.just once. 27 of those efforts came at Cardiff on Saturday, with Robert
:21:33. > :21:36.Snodgrass scoring after just five minutes but in just 80 seconds after
:21:37. > :21:38.the break, the home side turned the game on its head.
:21:39. > :21:42.just once. 27 of those efforts came at Craig Bellamy with the first.
:21:43. > :21:45.Kenwyne Jones made it 2`1. Norwich came agonisingly close to snatching
:21:46. > :21:50.a deserved equaliser but defeat means they've slipped to 15th, with
:21:51. > :22:01.just one win in nine. Two points clear of the drop zone. I don't
:22:02. > :22:03.think you could fall to our efforts in trying to get back in the game
:22:04. > :22:04.and think you could fall to our efforts
:22:05. > :22:06.in trying to get back in trying to get that equaliser and possibly a
:22:07. > :22:12.winner. Their goalkeeper had a good day, but if we make mistakes like we
:22:13. > :22:14.did, we have got to be scoring goals, and we are finding that at
:22:15. > :22:17.moment. The transfer window might have
:22:18. > :22:20.closed but many of our teams with smaller budgets are counting the
:22:21. > :22:23.days before the loan window re`opens. MK Dons need a new striker
:22:24. > :22:26.after going 324 minutes without a goal. They've lost their last three
:22:27. > :22:31.games including Saturday's 1`0 defeat against Tranmere. The
:22:32. > :22:36.manager's desperate for more firepower in a bid to make the
:22:37. > :22:39.play`offs. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy praised
:22:40. > :22:42.David McGoldrick after he scored the only goal in Saturday's win over
:22:43. > :22:46.Bolton. The striker converted a penalty ` his 15th of the season `
:22:47. > :22:49.keeping Ipswich in the Championship play`off race.
:22:50. > :22:53.And Paula Radcliffe is targeting one final appearance at the London
:22:54. > :22:56.Marathon. She's 40 now. The Bedford runner withdrew from the London
:22:57. > :22:59.Olympics because of injury but she says she probably only ask her foot
:23:00. > :23:06.to do one more marathon, which she hopes might be London next year.

:23:10. > :23:18.Wilder's first point as Northampton boss, plus a list of all this week's
:23:19. > :23:22.fixtures. Thank you very much. The breakfast
:23:23. > :23:25.show on BBC Essex has a new presenter. James Whale has taken
:23:26. > :23:29.over from Ray Clark, who's moved to an afternoon slot. He has worked in
:23:30. > :23:32.radio and television for 40 years, including spells at LBC and Talk
:23:33. > :23:39.Radio. He says he's delighted with his new role at BBC Essex. When you
:23:40. > :23:43.come on the breakfast show the day is new. It is a new Day dawning, and
:23:44. > :23:47.I get to deliver the latest news, talk to the people who are making
:23:48. > :23:51.the news, usually before anyone else, and you will hear them here
:23:52. > :23:56.first on BBC Essex. And now, the weather.
:23:57. > :24:00.Thank you. It hasn't been a bad day. Plus three times, with the
:24:01. > :24:04.winds gusting. But a great deal of sunshine, especially in the east.
:24:05. > :24:09.More cloud in the West, as the weather front moves slowly towards
:24:10. > :24:12.us, but it still has a way to go. We start fine and dry with some clear
:24:13. > :24:16.spells, but eventually that pushes in from the West. Most of it light
:24:17. > :24:21.and patchy, though we cannot rule out the odd heavy burst. Behind
:24:22. > :24:25.that, dry skies with some clear spells, and under the clear skies,
:24:26. > :24:29.the lowest temperatures later on in the night towards dawn, possibly
:24:30. > :24:33.down to two Celsius or even lower in some spots. The potential for icy
:24:34. > :24:40.patches for some of us and a bit of frost, but not everywhere. The rain
:24:41. > :24:44.perhaps holds on until first light. Then tomorrow, the weather front
:24:45. > :24:47.pulls away, taking the last of the rain with it. There's the area of
:24:48. > :24:52.low pressure brings some wet and windy weather. More about that in a
:24:53. > :24:57.minute, but tomorrow, the between two systems, and not a bad day.
:24:58. > :25:01.Largely fine and dry. We are likely to see a few showers moving
:25:02. > :25:03.through, but for most of us a dry day with some brightness and
:25:04. > :25:09.sunshine at times. Temperatures not doing too badly, up to around eight
:25:10. > :25:16.Celsius in some places, that is 46 Fahrenheit, so close, it not above
:25:17. > :25:19.average for the time of year. We start with light winds, but by the
:25:20. > :25:23.afternoon, a moderate to fresh southerly, so quite blustery
:25:24. > :25:26.afternoon. Any showers will rattle through quite quickly in the second
:25:27. > :25:31.half of the day. We finished largely fine and dry, give or take one or
:25:32. > :25:35.two showers. But Tuesday night, later on, and into Wednesday
:25:36. > :25:41.morning, we expect some wet and windy weather to arrive. The winds
:25:42. > :25:46.are strong, perhaps gale force at time around the coast, with gusts of
:25:47. > :25:50.around 50 miles an hour. That the moment, the strongest winds are
:25:51. > :25:53.expected during the early hours of Wednesday morning and afternoon.
:25:54. > :25:57.Wednesday of self, as well as the wind I mentioned and rain, it is
:25:58. > :26:00.likely to be heavier, and Babs Jaya slots before some more heavy rain
:26:01. > :26:04.later in the day. A pretty awful day, and one we are watching. More
:26:05. > :26:09.details tomorrow. Hopefully by Thursday, that really wet and windy
:26:10. > :26:14.weather will be out of the way. A quieter day, still quite blustery,
:26:15. > :26:17.but the Windies is to a moderate fresh south`westerly, and Thursday
:26:18. > :26:22.is looking largely fine and dry with just a scattering of showers. Friday
:26:23. > :26:25.is looking dry, lighter winds still, although we are watching an area of
:26:26. > :26:27.low pressure at the moment. It should stay to the south, keeping
:26:28. > :26:33.the rain there. We will keep you posted. Thank you very much.
:26:34. > :26:35.Before we go, a quick mention about tonight's Inside Out.
:26:36. > :26:38.It features a remarkable musician called Nicholas McCarthy from
:26:39. > :26:39.Colchester. Nicholas is a very gifted pianist, even though he only
:26:40. > :26:41.has one hand. called Nicholas McCarthy from
:26:42. > :26:45.Colchester. Nicholas is You can see Inside Out at 7:30. We will leave
:26:46. > :26:49.you now with Nicholas and a piece by Scriabin. From all of us, good
:26:50. > :27:58.night. Goodbye. Why are you staring at me? Just
:27:59. > :27:59.wonder how things grow and grow Why are you staring at me? Just
:28:00. > :28:08.wonder how things grow and grow Yeah, well, mummies and daddies
:28:09. > :28:11.do argue sometimes. Did you hear any other words?
:28:12. > :28:15.Pillock and another word. Can you please stop doing this
:28:16. > :28:24.OK, you can put me down.
