foreman of the jury delivered each of the guilty verdicts. The | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
47`year`old, who stands at seven feet and three inches, was an | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
accomplice to Peterborough serial killer, Joanna Dennehy. She's | :01:39. | :01:41. | |

others while on the run in Hereford. Today, Gary Stretch was convicted of | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
one of those attempted murders, an unprovoked and vicious knife attack | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
against John Rogers. He was also found guilty of three charges of | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
helping Dennehy dispose of each of the victims' bodies. His | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
codefendant, Leslie Layton, also from Peterborough, was found guilty | :02:15. | :02:17. | |

That's right. The jury are still undecided on a charge of attempted | :02:23. | :02:27. | |

here at Cambridge Crown Court tomorrow. An inquest into the death | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
of a pensioner from Northampton has been hearing how her daughter's | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
ex`husband was harassing the family for months. Mavis Clift died after | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
the family home was set on fire in 2008. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
A fire started deliberately, which took the life of a pensioner shortly | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
after she had celebrated New Year's Eve with her family. Mavis Clift | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
died from smoke inhalation after petrol was poured through the | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
letterbox and set alight. Her daughter had moved back to the house | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
because for months her ex`husband had been harassing, stalking and | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
threatening her. Pls Barber told the `` Mrs Barber told the court twice | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
he had turned up at the canteen in Northampton university, where she | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
worked. She Howitted and swore at her. Another day he followed her | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
home. The jury heard how on one occasion a bundle of fireworks had | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
been lit and left on the doorstep of her parents' house on this street. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
This was after Mrs Barber had received threatening calls, texTS | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
and letters from `` texts and letters from her ex`husband. Windows | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
had been broken. After the fireworks, she told the police she | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
feared that she or her family could have been seriously injured. The | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
jury also heard that Mrs Barber had contacted police numerous times. | :04:00. | :04:00. | |
jury also heard that Mrs Barber had contacted police numerous times In | :04:01. | :04:00. | |
a statement in June 2007 she said: Bawl Barber was charged with the | :04:01. | :04:21. | |
murder of Mavis Clift, but in prison, awaiting trial, he died in | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
2009. The jury was told that he had been suffering mental health | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
problems. Giving evidence, Mrs Barber was visibly emotional. Her | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
voice was shaking as she spoke about those events from six years ago. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
This inquest isn't about finding anyone guilty, it's aim is to | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
establish the circumstances which led to Mavis Clift's death on New | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Year's Day in 2008. The inquest continues. | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Talks have been taking place today in an attempt to save 900 jobs in | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
cosh by. Solway Foods is one `` Corby. Solway Foods is one of the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
biggest employers in the area and opened in the 1980s. In 2008 ?10 | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
million was spent on updating facilities, but on Friday, the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
company announced that much more money was needed to keep the factory | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
viable and that closing the site altogether was a possibility. This | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
morning, the MP for Corby, Andy Sawford met with the company and | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
earlier I asked him how it went. Today's meeting went as well as it | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
could have done in the circumstances, because all we have | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
`` all toe we have a commitment from them to work with us both around the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
options for the current site and also for a possible move within | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Corby. When you talk about the current site, the company is already | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
saying in black and white there is a risk of closure. If a company at | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
this stage is saying that, just at the beginning of that consultation, | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
it's pretty much writing on the wall, isn't it? Well, that's what I | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
wanted to know today. I think a lot of the workforce are worried this is | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
a foregone conclusion. We looked to the management and we asked them, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
"Are you genuinely looking at all options? Is it possible you might | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
stay here?" . They've assured us that it is and they'll look at any | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
help we might be able to offer. That's why we have agreed to set up | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the Task Force. I don't want to jump the gun on this. I think it's very | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
early days. It's clearly a very very difficult and worrying time for | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
the workforce and it is possible that we could lose those jobs. You | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
say you're setting up a Task Force, but in practical terms what are you | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
able to actually do in the coming weeks? There's a 45`day consultation | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
period. The company have guaranteed to us that they won't make decisions | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
within that period. We are going to come back together with them in a | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
few weeks and we have agreed a date, when we'll come together and there | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
is a long tradition in Corby of working to try to support local | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
business. You say there's a tradition of helping, but we have | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
had Tata Steel and Argos and Fair company line Boats? They've been | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
expanding again and they're dog well in their market and in the case of | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Tata, they've gone into profit again, so there is a good tradition | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
of this in our area. We'll try to support Solway Foods, but what we | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
needed to know if they are open to working with us and today they've | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
said they are and that there are genuinely a wish to try to keep the | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
jobs and keep the factory open either there or on another site so | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
that's what we'll work towards. Thank you very much. | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
This is a remarkable story. When Marie`Ann Andrews was born she had | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
brittle bones so she started life with more than 200 fractures. They | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
left her with extreme physical disabilities, but when she became a | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
teenager she dieded to write a list of goals. She has now achieved all | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
of them, including becoming a mother. Marie`Ann Andrews never | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
expected this, to be changing her own baby's nappy. It really was the | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
impossible dream. The final goal she set Cher self following a major | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
operation at the age of 14. It was either I give up and I don't get up | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
from the back operation, or I just do the best that I can with the body | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
that I've got, is how I saw it. At under foot feet tall, Marie didn't | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
grow properly. She has the rare type three brittle bones disease. When I | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
was a toddler I was basically the same as any other toddler in terms | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
of looking the same. It's only when I started to break and break and | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
break that my bones become more deformed and then I started looking | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
different. This little lad is named after Marie's brother. He too had | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
brittle bones, but died after a fall when he was nine there was a 50 | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
chance baby Mark might have inherited the condition. Thankfully, | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
he is fit and healthy. Already, even at ten weeks, he is pulling himself | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
up, because he knows they can't always lift him quickly and I just | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
think he knows already that there are things that mummy can't do. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Marie's own mother died just over a year ago. She misses the support, | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
but her personal assistant, Vicky, helps her be the hands`on mum she | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
wants to be. With husband Dan and now baby Mark, Marie is complete. | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
Her life turned around by hope and determination. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Next, the frightening moment when drivers found themselves facing a | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
car driving the wrong way down the fast lane of the A11. It happened | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
yesterday on the stretch of the road near Newmarket. Live now to Simon. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
This is the spot where the lady was halted. An 81`year`old lady who had | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
driven for 15 miles east to Newmarket, but in the west`bound | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
carriageway. Really, it was only the bravery and expertise of two police | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
officers that brought her to a halt. Sunday afternoon on the A14. Tom | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Hien and his dad driving east. Just across the barrier they spot an | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
elderly lady doing the same. The only problem, she is on the wrong | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
carriageway. Tom filmed this footage from the passenger seat. The police | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
were flooded with 999 calls. PCs Ian Manly and Chris Thompson was | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
scrambled to stop the woman. We turned around and headed towards her | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
and managed to slow down all of the traffic that was also eheading to | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
her, so she were protected behind us. Then we caused her to stop. This | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
is the actual police footage of what happened next. With the road clear | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
and a rolling road block in place, Ian and Chris put their own car in | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
the path of on`coming vehicle. There is she is coming towards us there. | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
She is not making any attempt to slow down, apart from this point | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
here. It was a nervous time. We were Po ten salely going to deliberately | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
crash into her to bring her to a stop. Fortunately, she stopped | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
before colliding with our vehicle. She was 30 centimetres from us. She | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
was very concerned she had been driving the wrong way. She tried to | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
make attempts to come off the A14 driving the wrong way. She tried to | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
make attempts to come off the A 4 or make attempts to come off the A 4 or | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
the A11 or roads prior, but she had been unsuccessful. When I stopped | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
her and obviously spoke to her she was more concerned if she had gone | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
to lane one she would have caused an accident. The woman who is 81 and | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
comes from Ilford in Essex told officers she tried to get off the | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
road several times without success. Police say she was suffering from | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
mental health problems and was later returned safely home. She won't be | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
prosecuted. As you heard, the officers would have actually have to | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
created a collision to stop this lady had she not put the brakes on. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
They say she won't be prosecuted, because it's likely that the DVLA | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
may well revoke her licence. The clear`up operation is still | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
under way in parts of the region, after Friday's flooding. Sandbags | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
are still in place in Waterbeach. Farmers in Northamptonshire are | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
donating hundreds of tonnes of hay and straw to help the familiarers in | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
Somerset. `` farmers in Somerset. Now over to | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Stewart and Suzie for the rest of the day's news and Julie will have a | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
full firing on all cylinders and, for as | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
long as my electric pushes me to continue, I will continue. `` my | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
electorate. Still to come, our British forces | :12:44. | :12:58. | |
ending up in `` British horses ending up in the European abattoirs? | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
And the players from our region who triumphed at the National Badminton | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
Championships in MK at the weekend. The future of the Oliver Cromwell | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Museum in Huntingdon is in doubt tonight, despite a petition with | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
3,000 signatures being handed in to the County Council in | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Cambridgeshire. The Council says it can't afford to keep the museum | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
open. But campaigners say Oliver Cromwell is a hugely significant | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
local figure. In a moment, Kim Riley on how another local museum for | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
another local hero is battling with similar problems. But first Emma | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
Baugh reports. Battle lines drawn. At Naseby, Cromwell defeats the | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
king, but now for a fight he might not win. Today, campaigners in their | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
key battle, making the case for his museum. The problem is, we | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
contribute to the economy of the town and area by drawing in | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
visitors, because of the location of the museum in Huntingdon. One of the | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
key aims of the council is to promote the local economy and that | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
is exactly what the museum does. This hat is something Cromwell is | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
supposed to have worn when he dismissed the Long Parliament. Set | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
in a small space, Cromwell's all school, but it is the largest | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
collection in the world. Most people are impressed by how much we have, | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
and not just how much but the quality of it, so some of the | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
objects here are pieces which were almost certainly gifts of Cromwell | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
when he was Lord protector, and true international importance. When was | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
the last time you went to the museum? Never. I don't know where it | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
is. It is behind you. Is it? I went 20 years ago. I know that it is in | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
danger, isn't it, of closing? The County Council have given a | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
statement saying that they welcome the petition and will assess it at | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
their full council meeting. They say that they will continue to work with | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
brains of the museum about the alternative management of it and | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
hope that the interest shown locally will help them to achieve that goal. | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Closing the museum will save the council ?20,000 per year, but | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
campaigners say that the collection could then be broken up for ever. So | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
how do you turn a local museum around? Last year the Nelson Museum | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
in Great Yarmouth found itself in a very similar situation. They did get | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
a bail out from the local council but with strings very much attached. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Here's our Chief Reporter Kim Riley. The museum dedicated to Norfolk's | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
local hero almost went under after building up losses of thousands of | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
pounds a year, but unlike Huntingdon, after a plea to the | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
local Borough Council, it agreed to underwrite losses for five years, | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
but the museum must then be able to pay its way. It easier stick team of | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
volunteers have been working on a major revamp, aimed at attracting | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
more visitors, with a new cafe and shop, and the focus on Nelson's | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
scandalous love life. He was a very popular chap. He was England's first | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
big celebrity. He was bigger than David Beckham. He was hugely famous | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
internationally. There are monuments all round the world to him, just | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
where he disembarked from a ship. He is the great man himself, sitting at | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
a table in his cabin during the Battle of the Nile. It is rather an | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
incredible likeness. His eyes for you around as you walk around the | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
table. This is the bicorn hat, replica of the one that he used to | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
wear. You're probably thinking that he can carry it off, but I can't. | :17:03. | :17:14. | |
Volunteer Kerry Robinson helped win the new pledge from the council. We | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
felt that this place needed to stay here, it is part of the heritage of | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Yarmouth, and the council are very receptive to that. We're saying to | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
people, come and support the Nelson Museum. There is plenty for | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
children, a flavour of life below decks, and a chance to walk the | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
plank. In the rise of the volunteers, he was a Norfolk man | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
through and through. `` the words of the volunteers. A year after the | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
horse meat scandal, a charity in Norfolk says horses and ponies from | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
the UK may still be ending up illegally in abattoirs in Europe. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
World Horse Welfare has spent months investigating whether a policy which | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
allows some horses to be exported easily is being abused. David | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Whiteley followed their investigation for Inside Out. It is | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
one year since the horse meat scandal broke. The summit was a | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
shock that an animal which in this country is seen as a companion could | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
end up in our food. We have discovered this murky trade in low | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
value equines across Europe. It is not only a matter for equine | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
welfare, it is a huge problem for equine health, and as you will see | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
in relation to the food industry, it is an issue for human health, as | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
well. It is August and over a weekend period at Dover, there are | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
horses and ponies being taken to the continent on the ferries, being | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
watched by a Norfolk charity. That one at has just come through... The | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
charity World Horse Welfare has spent months trying to get to the | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
bottom of what happens to be is horses once they are shipped abroad. | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
Under an agreement with France, Ireland and the UK, sports horses | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
can be moved freely. Low value ponies like this are certainly not | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
covered by the agreement. World Horse Welfare believes some traders | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
are abusing the law and exporting ponies and avoiding health, welfare | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
cheques and other paperwork. At the time of the horse meat scandal, the | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Government said there was no evidence of horses and ponies being | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
transported abroad for human consumption and, if there was, then | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
surveillance at ports would pick this up, but this investigation has | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
found that in most cases, these checks are not happening. The | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
charity believes that live horses are being taken to the continent | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
without any health checks or even the basic standards of welfare, and | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
that this is going on under the radar. Animal health officers can | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
and will undertake stringent checks at ports, where there are good | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
grounds to believe that those being breached, which may represent a risk | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
to the health and welfare of horses. Defra says it is tightening up the | :20:01. | :20:01. | |
rules on horse exports from May. You can see the full story in Inside | :20:02. | :20:19. | |
Out at 7:30pm on BBC One. The last time Norwich played Manchester City | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
there were seven goals, and Manchester City got all of them. | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
Many predicted a similar scoreline in the return game at Carrow Road on | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
Saturday. But this time it ended goalless. The Norwich manager Chris | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
Hughton hailed his team's "spirited performance" but said he felt they | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
could have sneaked all three points. A really important point for | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Norwich, and unlike the and improbable point. But not | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
undeserved, arguably, a game they could have one, against one of the | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
most expensively assembled teams in the world, Norwich proved that a | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
little spirit and determination can match players with heightened | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
reputations and lofty ambitions. They carved out better chances, with | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
Nathan Redmond and then Gary Hooper, whose effort was ruled out. In the | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
closing minutes, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel just needed a touch, and | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
Pilkington, little composure. After a seven ` zero defeat at the Etihad | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Stadium in November, this was an unexpected point, but it could be | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
all important at the end of the season. It was a brilliant | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
performance Monday stifled Manchester City, and did not let | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
them play. It could be a turning point. It will get the fans back | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
little bit. Did the manager need that performance and result? He | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
probably needs a result every week. He's under a lot of pressure. A big | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
game coming up against West Ham, fans are nervous about that. That | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
will be much more potent to survival. Norwich in fact fell one | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
place in the league, making tomorrow's trip to West Ham, not | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
just above them, vital. We had some good opportunities to score, and | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
certainly had far more in the Cardiff game away from home, so it | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
is most definitely an endeavour from us to try and score. We have just | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
got to find the right formula. 19 goals in 25 games, not a recipe for | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
success also vital. It is up to him to find the winning ingredient. `` | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
success or survival. The best badminton players in England battled | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
it out for the crown of national champions this weekend and for the | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
first time it was being held in Milton Keynes. There were five | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
honours up for grabs. And three of the five were won by a married | :22:44. | :22:55. | |
couple, Gabby and Chris Adcock. With top names and national titles at | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
stake, the rallies were long, until someone blinked. Gabby Adcock | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
completed her first bit of business firing Lawrence with the success | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
with a fifth straight win in the event. Very happy that we won that | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
match. It was my fifth title, so I wanted to really get it, and we | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
played well in the first set. The game started well. Up next, her | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
husband Chris, partnering Andrew Ellis. The world 's fastest racket | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
sport showing is more delicate side. The competition was being staged at | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
the first time in Northern Keynes, in the arena at Ashton Stadium MK. I | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
am very pleased. This was a tough opponent. I trained with her for | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
four years. So it was quite tough. Walker and the English team`mates | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
have left Switzerland to take part in the European team Championships. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Also on the plane, another MK resident, winning his seventh | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
straight title, swatting away the challenge against Sarah Parsons. | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
Hopefully in a couple of years time, we can show the same form. | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
Gabby and Chris Adcock reclaimed the mixed doubles title they lost last | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
year. I thought we were in control for much of the game. They are good | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
players, number 16 in the world from a reason, but we played our game and | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
dealt with what they brought us quite well. Gabby and Chris Adcock | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
remain Badminton's top couple. They hope that you thousand and 14 will | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
be a special year. It certainly started well. `` 2014. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
Lots to talk about. We had a band of showers moving up into the North | :24:49. | :25:02. | |
Sea, and this band moving in behind, producing thundery downpours over | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
the next few hours. Behind it, dry and clear, and underneath these | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
clear skies temperatures fallen to around two Celsis, and in rural | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
spots, down to around freezing, so there could be forced and icing | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
places. `` frost and ice. Tomorrow, a wet `` weather front pushing in | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
from the west bringing wet and windy weather. This rain is likely to be | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
heavy at times. Given on by fresh to strong southerly winds, perhaps gale | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
force at times around the coast. That should clear by 2pm, with the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
winds easing, but it will still feel blustery, and chilly with high | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
temperatures of six Celsius. If anything, through the afternoon, it | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
will be called behind, then we have some showers. Especially through the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
evening and overnight, some of these showers could fall as snow, giving a | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
covering of two centimetres in places. It will not be for | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
everybody, some of it will fall as rain, but there is definitely the | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
chance of a couple of centimetres of snow in places. Heading into wet, we | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
start to see milder air coming in. A dry start with a moderate to fresh | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
south`west of wind, picking up through the morning, to a strong | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
southerly, and then we see rain pushing in around mid`morning, and | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
again some of that will be on the heavy side. Wet and windy during | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
Wednesday, then on Thursday, a blustery south`westerly wind with a | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
scattering of showers. And on Friday we do it all again, by mid`morning, | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
another system bringing in more heavy rain and those south`westerly | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
winds again picking up, reaching gale force at times round the coast. | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
Between now and the end of Friday, up to two inches of rain, not great | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
news with the saturated ground we have got. And some cold nights, two, | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
we could see some frost and sheltered spots. | :27:18. | :27:19. |
