:00:48. > :00:52.vulnerable children from sexual predators. Last night on Look East
:00:53. > :00:55.we reported on the sentencing of five people aged between 33 and 14
:00:56. > :01:00.who sexually abused five girls from Peterborough. It was the result of
:01:01. > :01:11.the authorities specifically targeting this type of offence. But
:01:12. > :01:29.experts say more needs to be done, as Louise Hubball reports.
:01:30. > :01:35.Five members of a gang who raped and abused vulnerable young girls have
:01:36. > :01:39.been jailed. The court heard the girls were seen as easy meat, sexual
:01:40. > :01:46.playthings. And all this happened here in Peterborough. What do
:01:47. > :01:51.shoppers here think? Shocking. Really shocking, that this is
:01:52. > :01:58.happening in Peterborough. It is disgusting. What can you say? I have
:01:59. > :02:02.a sister, if it happened to her, it a sister, if it happened to her, it
:02:03. > :02:04.would rate my heart. It is horrible to think that there is people like
:02:05. > :02:07.that walking about. One of the social workers supporting the girls
:02:08. > :02:09.agreed to talk to me. We've concealed her identity to protect
:02:10. > :02:12.the young people she works with. concealed her identity to protect
:02:13. > :02:14.the young people she works with How the young people she works with How
:02:15. > :02:18.important was the sentencing for the girls? Although the criminal process
:02:19. > :02:22.has come to an end, it's the start of the girls being able to live with
:02:23. > :02:25.what has happened to them. They were all pleased to know what the outcome
:02:26. > :02:28.was. The biggest milestone was giving their evidence. We have
:02:29. > :02:31.spoken about the impact on the girls, but how do you cope with
:02:32. > :02:37.listening to what they are telling you? It's really difficult. There
:02:38. > :02:41.are days when I drive home in the car and I'd be in tears, just
:02:42. > :02:45.thinking about what I'd heard and what the girls had said during the
:02:46. > :02:49.day. But you have to stay strong for them. They need to know they can
:02:50. > :02:53.rely on you to be there for them. This video is shown to young people
:02:54. > :02:59.at risk of sexual exploitation. Prevention is now key. And so is the
:03:00. > :03:07.need for youngsters at risk to talk. One of the most basic tools this
:03:08. > :03:11.charity uses is jewellery making. If you are making something, you can
:03:12. > :03:16.talk without having to make eye contact with your worker. And it
:03:17. > :03:20.increases confidence to talk about the things that have happened to
:03:21. > :03:26.you. Sometimes, these young people are very angry, and you commercially
:03:27. > :03:28.for all of this out and explain your feelings and discuss your feelings.
:03:29. > :03:31.And of course, yesterday, five abusers were jailed precisely
:03:32. > :03:38.because young girls had the strength to discuss their feelings.
:03:39. > :03:41.Well, earlier I spoke to Professor Jenny Pearce from the University of
:03:42. > :03:51.Bedfordshire, and asked her how widespread this kind of crime is.
:03:52. > :03:56.The office of the children's commission produced a report last
:03:57. > :03:59.year that said we know for sure that over 2000 young people are being
:04:00. > :04:03.sexually exploited by gangs and groups. That isn't under
:04:04. > :04:10.representation of the numbers, because young people do not report.
:04:11. > :04:12.In our research, only one in 12 in gang affected neighbourhoods said
:04:13. > :04:16.they would tell anybody about the sexual violence. They have no
:04:17. > :04:22.confidence that those they tell will be able to make any difference or do
:04:23. > :04:25.something about it. Until we improve the responses to young people who
:04:26. > :04:29.tell us about sexual violence, we will continue to have an
:04:30. > :04:34.underreporting of the amount and the scale. We know that in Peterborough,
:04:35. > :04:38.this was a proactive response by the police and social services, but what
:04:39. > :04:44.can professional wadis elsewhere do to try and better identify those at
:04:45. > :04:48.risk? What we do know is that young people who experience sexual
:04:49. > :04:55.violence, for example in the research we did, 41% of 188 young
:04:56. > :05:02.people talked about experiences of individual rape. 34% talked about
:05:03. > :05:04.multiple rape. If young people are experiencing social violence, they
:05:05. > :05:09.may be going to health professionals, sexual health
:05:10. > :05:14.clinics. Fashion is right across the board, not only child protection,
:05:15. > :05:16.need to get much better at identifying the signs and indicators
:05:17. > :05:22.of abuse, and share information between them about the experiences
:05:23. > :05:28.young people are telling them off. What are the main failings in the
:05:29. > :05:32.child protection system? We have examples of really good practice
:05:33. > :05:35.where police and children's protection workers are working
:05:36. > :05:40.together, that is where we get these prosecutions and that is where young
:05:41. > :05:43.people have confidence to talk. What needs to happen in child protection
:05:44. > :05:45.is that rather than see child protection as something that is only
:05:46. > :05:52.relevant for young children within the home experiencing the Malee
:05:53. > :05:56.abuse, `` familial, we needed to engage with teenager, that is a very
:05:57. > :05:59.different form of child protection. It means going out to whether young
:06:00. > :06:04.people are and recognising that a lot of them will not want to talk.
:06:05. > :06:06.So we need to get better at making sure child protection systems reach
:06:07. > :06:11.out into schools, into the areas where young people are, and improve
:06:12. > :06:13.the way they share that information between them.
:06:14. > :06:17.The partner of a man stabbed to death in his own home has told a
:06:18. > :06:20.court today how she pleaded with his assailants to leave him alone.
:06:21. > :06:24.Sharif Demirsay was attacked in the hallway of his home in Kempston last
:06:25. > :06:32.May. Neil Bradford spent the day at Luton Crown Court and joins me now.
:06:33. > :06:37.The court has heard how six to nine`year`old `` how a six to
:06:38. > :06:42.nine`year`old was left traumatised by the attack on her partner. They
:06:43. > :06:48.had been together for more than 20 years. `` a 69`year`old. She gave
:06:49. > :06:51.evidence from behind a screen. She broke down at various points as she
:06:52. > :06:56.went into detail about the attack on Sharif Demirsay at the home they
:06:57. > :07:01.shared in Kempston in Bedfordshire last May. She said it was later
:07:02. > :07:07.tonight on the 14th of May, when there was a loud knock at the door
:07:08. > :07:13.of their bungalow. Three young men, all wearing hooded tops, burst in,
:07:14. > :07:16.demanding cash and gold. She said they were armed with knives, and
:07:17. > :07:22.they began stabbing her partner She said, he put the knife everywhere.
:07:23. > :07:28.The courts and forwards. Blood came out from everywhere, she said. The
:07:29. > :07:31.prosecution say the attack on Sharif Demirsay was vicious and sustained,
:07:32. > :07:35.but it only lasted a matter of minutes. Today, we got a sense of
:07:36. > :07:41.just how long those few minutes must have felt to Sharif Demirsay's
:07:42. > :07:47.partner. She was also injured in the attack and required surgery at she
:07:48. > :07:51.tried to fend off the attackers. She described how she was stabbed
:07:52. > :07:56.through the arm. She said she tried to fend them off by hitting one of
:07:57. > :07:59.them over the head with a metal attachment from her vacuum cleaner.
:08:00. > :08:05.She told the court, he pushed me, I felt the floor. He said, where's
:08:06. > :08:11.your money and where is your gold? I said, take the money, take the cold,
:08:12. > :08:16.leave Sharif alone. `` take the gold. She said, they continued to
:08:17. > :08:19.stab him, even as he was on the floor. He was kicked and has hands
:08:20. > :08:23.were beaten with a metal pole. She said one of the attackers was even
:08:24. > :08:35.shouting, kill him, kill him, kill and! The accused all deny murder.
:08:36. > :08:43.The trial at Luton Crown Court is expected to last six weeks.
:08:44. > :08:46.The Government has floated the idea of extending the M11 motorway north
:08:47. > :08:50.from Cambridge. It's one of the ideas being considered for the next
:08:51. > :08:54.round of funding, which would start in 2020. Under the new scheme, the
:08:55. > :08:58.new road would run all the way up to Hull.
:08:59. > :09:02.Dennis Jones knows almost every road in and out of East End where. The
:09:03. > :09:10.nearer he is to motorway, the less stressed he is. The worst bit of my
:09:11. > :09:19.job is the A17. It would probably say was a good 45 minutes just to
:09:20. > :09:22.get to Newark. Ayes his boss runs 23 trucks on tight margins. For him,
:09:23. > :09:29.and extension cannot come soon enough to stop it could make a
:09:30. > :09:36.significant difference. Any movement in the road system where we can get
:09:37. > :09:41.onto dual carriageway or motorways, that improves our fuel economy and
:09:42. > :09:44.our journey times. The current 5 mile Stretch from London stops just
:09:45. > :09:49.north of Cambridge. Extended it could see it run through the fans
:09:50. > :09:53.into Lincolnshire and all the way up to the Humber Bridge. But it is only
:09:54. > :09:57.one idea in the plans for the next round of road funding, starting in
:09:58. > :10:04.2020. It is early days and nothing has been confirmed. The idea was
:10:05. > :10:08.around when very young looking Ken Clarke first opened the M11, but
:10:09. > :10:13.extending it was put on hold. Now it is back in the frame. Some say it
:10:14. > :10:19.will be a lifeline to Norfolk and Cambridge's economy. I think it will
:10:20. > :10:23.be great. It is a perfect opportunity to improve the economy
:10:24. > :10:26.of East Anglia. It would cost Williams of pounds and others say
:10:27. > :10:33.the money would be better spent on local roads. `` billions of pounds.
:10:34. > :10:38.We ought to concentrate on upgrading the roads. Aside from the local
:10:39. > :10:42.debate about the benefits or otherwise of a brand`new motorway,
:10:43. > :10:47.those who study Government policy and road spending say it is highly
:10:48. > :10:52.unlikely that an M11 extension will ever be built. I think this scheme
:10:53. > :10:57.is probably Dreamland, it is a scheme that many would argue is
:10:58. > :11:00.essential, but equally, there are other priorities, with the existing
:11:01. > :11:05.network that needs upgrading. So that need sorting out first. This
:11:06. > :11:08.scheme may be in a few years time, it might get more of a hearing. The
:11:09. > :11:12.new M11 debate is just underway but new M11 debate is just underway but
:11:13. > :11:18.on one point, all agree. The local routes must be upgraded before they
:11:19. > :11:21.can feed into any new motorway. It's been confirmed today that the
:11:22. > :11:25.body recovered from the River Ouzel in Layton Buzzard as that of the
:11:26. > :11:28.missing man Neil Devlin. The body was discovered on Monday. The
:11:29. > :11:35.36`year`old was last seen on New Year's Day. Extensive searches
:11:36. > :11:44.followed to try to find him. His route home would have been close to
:11:45. > :11:46.the river. An inquest will be held. Later, Alex has all the weather
:11:47. > :11:47.details, but first, broke out early this morning. Crews
:11:48. > :11:48.had to use a digger to create a firebreak. The woodchip pile
:11:49. > :12:02.measured 50 metres by 30 metres. Also coming up:
:12:03. > :12:06.Could you name your Police and Crime Commissioner? Is the new system
:12:07. > :12:13.really working? Also, from 2014 to 1914, a look
:12:14. > :12:16.ahead to look back at the impact of the First World War had on this
:12:17. > :12:19.region. The Six Nations returns tomorrow
:12:20. > :12:23.with England taking on Ireland at Twickenham. But who should be
:12:24. > :12:26.England's hooker? The contenders are both from this
:12:27. > :12:30.region. It's Northampton's bad boy Dylan Hartley versus Tom Youngs, the
:12:31. > :12:34.Norfolk lad who made the grade with the British Lions. James Burridge
:12:35. > :12:42.reports from the England training camp.
:12:43. > :12:50.COMMENTATOR: England make changes. Hartley comes on for Young's.
:12:51. > :12:54.Norfolk's Tom Youngs and another player are battling for one jersey
:12:55. > :12:58.between now and the Rugby World Cup in 2015. The seesaw of form and
:12:59. > :13:04.favour is as clear as ever. Hartley, frankly, is lucky to beat. Last May
:13:05. > :13:09.another moment of madness cost him a Premiership trophy and a Lions
:13:10. > :13:13.jersey. Tom Youngs to be his chance and the glory in a string.
:13:14. > :13:18.Hartley's list of indiscretions, the biting and gouging, was mounting.
:13:19. > :13:23.When the call came from the England head coach, he feared the worst.
:13:24. > :13:26.Instead, they met over a pint in a Northampton prop. He was given one
:13:27. > :13:33.last chance. It shows how quickly things can turn on its head and I am
:13:34. > :13:36.very realistic that you are only one game away from, you know, being back
:13:37. > :13:44.on the bench or, you know, until form. Or, in my case in the past,
:13:45. > :13:47.with a ban or something like that. And you're grateful that you have,
:13:48. > :13:56.like Stewart Lancaster giving you the chance? Yes and obviously Jim at
:13:57. > :14:00.the club. But, you know, I am on a chance here and I like to think I am
:14:01. > :14:06.repaying some of that faith shown in me. Hartley is back in favour partly
:14:07. > :14:10.because of his consistency. Take the line`out for instance. He has thrown
:14:11. > :14:14.30 times in this year's Six Nations. It has gone wrong just once. Youngs
:14:15. > :14:22.is now the one having to sit and stew. Dylan, for me, his errant the
:14:23. > :14:25.short at the moment. Youngs is desperate to get it back. Tom
:14:26. > :14:30.recognises that Dylan is playing well and will please the porting
:14:31. > :14:33.role from the bench. It is a great position to be in as a national
:14:34. > :14:37.coach to have two players fighting for the shirt. Tom Hall after week
:14:38. > :14:41.for the opportunity when he gets the chance to come on to show what he
:14:42. > :14:45.can do and through injury, form or whatever, he will get the chance
:14:46. > :14:49.again. I have no doubt that when he gets his shot, he will play well. It
:14:50. > :14:53.is nice to know that I have waited a year and I'm getting my shop.
:14:54. > :14:57.Hartley has been on trial and have had his fair share of two relations.
:14:58. > :15:01.He has channelled the intensity and it is serving him well. With terrier
:15:02. > :15:05.like Tom snapping at his heels, it is serving England also.
:15:06. > :15:08.Police and Crime Commissioners across the country have been in the
:15:09. > :15:13.firing line today over a concern they are not talking to the public
:15:14. > :15:18.enough. The first PCCs were elected in November 2012 when only 15% of
:15:19. > :15:21.people turned out to vote. The latest figures concern the
:15:22. > :15:25.police and crime panels, which were set up to hold the commissioners to
:15:26. > :15:29.count. Across the country, BBC News found that only 52 questions have
:15:30. > :15:35.been asked by members of the public at the 280 meetings held so far. In
:15:36. > :15:39.our region, no questions at all had been asked in Bedfordshire, Norfolk
:15:40. > :15:44.or the Thames Valley. In Suffolk, it was just three questions. So what's
:15:45. > :15:47.going on? Earlier today, I asked Tim Passmore, the Suffolk Commissioner,
:15:48. > :15:56.if the figures showed people just weren't engaging with the new
:15:57. > :16:00.system. I do not agree with that. That is one small part of the
:16:01. > :16:02.engagement. If you look at the public engagement sessions we have
:16:03. > :16:06.right across Suffolk, I can assure you that we have had hundreds of
:16:07. > :16:13.questions on our district and panels. I think you're referring to
:16:14. > :16:18.the Police and Crime Panel. They are organised by the County Council. I
:16:19. > :16:20.would like to reassure the list is that the last panel, I was
:16:21. > :16:25.questioned relentlessly for two and a half hours! You must remember that
:16:26. > :16:29.the members of the panel are there to represent the public. I think we
:16:30. > :16:32.are not quite hitting the right target that we see `` when we say
:16:33. > :16:35.there are no questions from the public. How can you convince people
:16:36. > :16:41.that this system is better than what we had before? It is certainly
:16:42. > :16:45.cheaper. It is certainly in Suffolk making for much quicker
:16:46. > :16:47.decision`making. Without being disrespectful to the old police
:16:48. > :16:51.authority, nobody had any idea who they were whatsoever. All I can say
:16:52. > :16:56.is that the huge number of public meetings I go to, I have one tonight
:16:57. > :17:00.and last Wednesday and three more next week, the number of questions
:17:01. > :17:04.and awareness is rising rapidly. We are doing our best with things like
:17:05. > :17:08.social media and Twitter. The website, e`mails, letters. Another
:17:09. > :17:12.statistic you may be interested in, in the first year, we had over 1000
:17:13. > :17:18.e`mails and letters sent directly to me. The police authority in its last
:17:19. > :17:22.year did not even have 50. We are on an upward trend and have a lot of to
:17:23. > :17:25.do. I am not complacent but we are getting there. Labour says the
:17:26. > :17:29.system is not working. It wants a reformed. Do you think we have
:17:30. > :17:34.another Labour Government that our jobs will be abolished? If you talk
:17:35. > :17:37.to some of the other commissioners, and there are some good people but
:17:38. > :17:41.our labour commissioners, the wind of change is blowing through the
:17:42. > :17:45.Labour Party. They realise that our job is about trust and
:17:46. > :17:51.accountability. Policing spends 12 volume pounds per year throughout
:17:52. > :17:53.the UK. What we need is a system for that accountability and
:17:54. > :17:57.transparency. `` ?12 billion. There have been some difficulties
:17:58. > :18:04.nationally in the last year. Part of the role of these commissions is to
:18:05. > :18:08.build trust and confidence in a good and important public service.
:18:09. > :18:11.All next week in Look East, we're looking at how people in this region
:18:12. > :18:15.were affected by the First World War. We'll be starting to tell 100
:18:16. > :18:19.stories selected to mark 100 years since the outbreak of World War One
:18:20. > :18:32.in 1914. A taster now from Shaun Peel.
:18:33. > :18:38.We begin the week in the trenches as we try to get a sense of the horrors
:18:39. > :18:44.of battle on the Western fronts. The sheer misery of the war they said
:18:45. > :18:48.would be over by Christmas. We take you back to a time when life
:18:49. > :18:54.expectancy for men was 52 and when the school leaving age was 12. But
:18:55. > :18:57.there were many ten`year`old who actually had jobs and it was very
:18:58. > :19:02.unusual for many children to go on to secondary school. We also find
:19:03. > :19:07.out how our region bore the brunt of the German Zeppelin attacks, as
:19:08. > :19:10.bombs rained down from the skies over Britain for the first time
:19:11. > :19:16.ever. This is Zeppelin crashed in the fields of Essex. All of the
:19:17. > :19:24.campers got burned and just left a bit of the piece of the relics, you
:19:25. > :19:28.see. That is aluminium for lightness. As the war raged, we find
:19:29. > :19:31.out how the shoemaking factories in Northamptonshire rose to the
:19:32. > :19:37.challenge of producing 50 million boots for the Allies. If attack from
:19:38. > :19:41.ships in the skies were not enough, what about the ships of the seas?
:19:42. > :19:47.The devastation wreaked upon Lowestoft as German vessels fired
:19:48. > :19:51.bombs on the Suffolk town. They realised what was happening and
:19:52. > :19:58.shouted bombardment, all downstairs now, as you are. Also, the Reverend
:19:59. > :20:01.Richard calls on Bernard van, the only ordained priest to win a
:20:02. > :20:09.Victoria Cross as a serving officer in the British Army. How could a man
:20:10. > :20:14.of God become a man of war? Van is actually killing. He at this point
:20:15. > :20:19.becomes a killing machine. On Friday, the tragedy of the 100 lost
:20:20. > :20:23.boys from a Norfolk school and headmaster who was said to have died
:20:24. > :20:28.from a broken heart. For him particularly, the war was utterly
:20:29. > :20:34.shattering. Extraordinary stories from the war they said would end all
:20:35. > :20:40.wars. World War I at home, all next one on BBC Look East and BBC local
:20:41. > :20:44.radio. And you're going to be in the
:20:45. > :20:48.trenches on Monday night but not the real trenches?
:20:49. > :20:52.Thank goodness for that. They're actually in Suffolk and used in a
:20:53. > :20:57.lot of film sets. You will have seen them in television programmes and
:20:58. > :21:00.movies. I have only seen the photographs but they look very wet
:21:01. > :21:04.and very uncomfortable and it is incredible to think that people
:21:05. > :21:07.spend weeks and months it is going to be fascinating.
:21:08. > :21:11.So that is the series that we will start on Monday, as Susie said. I
:21:12. > :21:15.shall be in the trenches in Suffolk. And our radio stations will also be
:21:16. > :21:17.looking at the First World War next week. Every morning, every breakfast
:21:18. > :21:22.show at 8.15. Now we often hear that the pub trade
:21:23. > :21:25.is having a really tough time at the moment. Around 20 pubs in Britain
:21:26. > :21:28.close every week. But not everybody has been put off. Eunice Wortley
:21:29. > :21:32.comes from the Ivory Coast and when she walked into The Crown at
:21:33. > :21:45.Smallburgh in Norfolk, she just knew she had to buy it. This from Mike
:21:46. > :21:51.Liggins. This is a village on the edge of the
:21:52. > :21:53.Norfolk Broads, a traditional English village with a very
:21:54. > :21:55.traditional English pub. But inside, there is something... Or someone
:21:56. > :22:11.very African. Her name is Younis and she is
:22:12. > :22:15.originally from the Ivory Coast. She met George at the start of 2010 and
:22:16. > :22:26.married him before the year was over. In December last year, they
:22:27. > :22:31.went for a drink in The Crown and Eunice decided she wanted to run it.
:22:32. > :22:35.They started coming but they were wondering if I had to have AIDS or
:22:36. > :22:43.if I bite! She did not, in fact she was lovely. Now, the locals are big
:22:44. > :22:46.fans. It is nice to have someone with a little bit of cultural
:22:47. > :22:53.difference, I think. Have you ever been to the Ivory Coast? No, but it
:22:54. > :22:57.has come to me! When you walk through the door, there is a huge
:22:58. > :23:05.smile which is lovely. Become over and stand with me and chat and
:23:06. > :23:09.families come and dogs and anything. And they are just lovely, lovely
:23:10. > :23:16.locals. But The Crown really is your traditional English pub. There is
:23:17. > :23:21.darts in the back and the snug has not been decorated in donkeys. It is
:23:22. > :23:26.about as far from the Ivory Coast as you can imagine but Eunice does not
:23:27. > :23:30.plan to change it. You would be lots of money to have this done. Lots of
:23:31. > :23:35.money to have chairs made of old barrels. Lots of money to have all
:23:36. > :23:41.of this wood and everything. She might be 3000 miles from home but
:23:42. > :23:45.Eunice is loving the wave of the pub landlady. There is official opening
:23:46. > :23:54.on the 1st of March she is promising African food and locals cannot wait.
:23:55. > :23:56.Issue not just great? Was my wonderful!
:23:57. > :24:00.If you're interested in what the BBC does in this region then you might
:24:01. > :24:04.be interested in joining the BBC's regional audience panel. We want to
:24:05. > :24:07.hear from people of all ages and all backgrounds from across the region.
:24:08. > :24:11.The panel meets three times a year and it's your chance to tell us what
:24:12. > :24:15.you think about the BBC. You don't get paid but you will get expenses.
:24:16. > :24:17.The closing date for applications is seventh March. Just go to
:24:18. > :24:30.bbc.co.uk/ace for an information pack or call 0800 092 6030.
:24:31. > :24:33.I am always deeply impressed when you do that!
:24:34. > :24:35.One day I will get you to read the number. Let's have a look at the
:24:36. > :24:40.weather. number. Let's have a look
:24:41. > :24:43.Hello. It has been a pretty lovely day. It might have felt a little bit
:24:44. > :24:48.chilly in the wind, a little cooler and fresher but we reach highs of 10
:24:49. > :24:53.Celsius in the sunshine and plenty of that threw out the morning. This
:24:54. > :24:56.is our satellite picture of today. We did see a little bit more patchy
:24:57. > :25:01.cloud in the middle afternoon a lot of that has good away. Set a scene
:25:02. > :25:04.for quite a chilly night and there are some showers around as well. I
:25:05. > :25:10.am going to draw your attention to the radar. They are not on our part
:25:11. > :25:12.of the region but creeping into the Western counties. If you live in
:25:13. > :25:15.pieces like the western half of Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and
:25:16. > :25:19.into Hertfordshire, you might catch a showers rate this evening. In
:25:20. > :25:23.fact, the computer is predicting more showers than there may be will
:25:24. > :25:27.be. They will be very isolated. For most of us, it looks like a dry
:25:28. > :25:32.night with long, clear spells. The winds have been quite brisk through
:25:33. > :25:37.this evening. Still some gusts of 30 mph but they will continue to ease
:25:38. > :25:41.overnight. With those light winds, temperatures drop close to freezing.
:25:42. > :25:43.For some of us, there will be patchy frost around by the time we get to
:25:44. > :25:49.tomorrow morning. By the end of tonight, a south`westerly wind. The
:25:50. > :25:53.chilly start to the weekend. Out of the two days, Saturday looks like
:25:54. > :25:57.the best. There will be some rain spends sunshine and it will stay
:25:58. > :26:01.mainly dry throughout the day. `` some long spells of sunshine. Sunday
:26:02. > :26:05.will be cloudier and it may mean some light rain or drizzle but the
:26:06. > :26:11.feature of Sunday's weather will be the wind. Very windy expected on
:26:12. > :26:14.Sunday. We will start tomorrow with light winds and plenty of sunshine
:26:15. > :26:16.through the morning. Into the afternoon, was a bit more cloud
:26:17. > :26:23.feeding through into Western counties. `` a little bit more
:26:24. > :26:27.cloud. Highs comfortably claiming to 10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit. The wind
:26:28. > :26:30.will be coming from a south`westerly direction and will pick up through
:26:31. > :26:35.the afternoon and into the evening. Increasing amounts of cloud by the
:26:36. > :26:38.end of the day. It may well produce some light rain or drizzle. That is
:26:39. > :26:41.how Sunday ships up. The pressure pattern maker would be dramatic.
:26:42. > :26:46.There will be rain across the western half of the country, but not
:26:47. > :26:51.much for us but a brisk wind. Gusts of around 40 mph or possible and a
:26:52. > :26:54.lot of cloud around on Sunday. The figures across the West, producing
:26:55. > :26:58.some light rain and drizzle not significant amounts. The winds ease
:26:59. > :27:01.little for Monday but there will be some showers, staying pretty
:27:02. > :27:06.unsettled to start next week. Tuesday, little cooler. There will
:27:07. > :27:10.be some showers and windy once more. Thank you very much.
:27:11. > :27:12.Just when you think things are getting better, along comes the
:27:13. > :27:17.forecast! Had a great weekend. Goodbye.
