:00:00. > :00:11.Hello and welcome to the programme. Tonight, millions more for schools
:00:12. > :00:17.in Cambridgeshire, but is the money enough and is it fair?
:00:18. > :00:24.Do you regret underpaying your workers, a quick word? The Fenland
:00:25. > :00:27.gang master sentenced after destroying the wage slips of eastern
:00:28. > :00:32.European workers so he could underpay them.
:00:33. > :00:37.It is more money on its way for the arts? The theatre is hoping the good
:00:38. > :00:40.news in the budget. And, Louis Smith faces his first
:00:41. > :00:52.competition since London 2002. Good evening.
:00:53. > :00:55.First tonight, concerns that more cash for schools in Cambridgeshire
:00:56. > :01:02.will not be enough to plug the gaps. Yesterday's announcement looked
:01:03. > :01:07.generous. Funding per pupil up by 7%, that's an extra ?20 million in
:01:08. > :01:11.total. But, tonight, campaigners say the deal still leaves school
:01:12. > :01:13.children here short`changed. And a Liberal Democrat spokesman on
:01:14. > :01:18.education admitted to Look Dast that funding needs to be fairer. We have
:01:19. > :01:31.a full interview with the MP Simon Wright in just a moment. First, this
:01:32. > :01:35.report from Louise Hubball. When it comes to school funding the
:01:36. > :01:43.numbers allocated to each county are always different. That's because
:01:44. > :01:46.calculations are complicated, including levels of deprivation and
:01:47. > :01:54.how many students speak English as a first language.
:01:55. > :01:57.Critics have always said thd system was unfair to students in rtral
:01:58. > :02:00.areas. Now, that formula will change.
:02:01. > :02:07.Yesterday, the government s`id Cambridgeshire had been unddrfunded
:02:08. > :02:13.for too long. And the money for each pupil per year here will rise from
:02:14. > :02:19.just under ?4,000, to this luch But that won't happen until next April.
:02:20. > :02:22.The principal of this school, himself originally a maths teacher,
:02:23. > :02:26.says the government's sums don't add up.
:02:27. > :02:30.They have accepted it is not fare so why delay this extra funding for a
:02:31. > :02:35.year? We have to balance thd books next year. Secondly, they appear to
:02:36. > :02:40.be backing off to their comlitment to fair funding. It says in their
:02:41. > :02:45.documentation beyond 2016 it will depend on Spending Review.
:02:46. > :02:49.That Spending Review will, of course, be after the general
:02:50. > :02:52.election. And, waiting until next year means these Year ten ptpils
:02:53. > :02:56.won't get any benefit until after their GCSEs. And, even when the cash
:02:57. > :03:02.does come, staff say it won't go far.
:03:03. > :03:07.This money will go into eathng the increased cost of increased
:03:08. > :03:11.salaries, pensions, utilitids. It won't be enough to offset all those
:03:12. > :03:17.costs which may mean managing with less teachers. It is a feelhng of
:03:18. > :03:20.anger and frustration that we are impairing the education of our
:03:21. > :03:24.students here, simply because we can't get fairer funding.
:03:25. > :03:27.That battle for funding herd in Cambridgeshire has been raghng for
:03:28. > :03:33.the past 30 years. It seems it's not over yet.
:03:34. > :03:39.So, is it a fair deal? Yestdrday's government announcement was made by
:03:40. > :03:42.the Liberal Democrats. The chairman of their Education Committed is the
:03:43. > :03:45.MP Simon Wright. Earlier thhs afternoon, I asked him why ht's
:03:46. > :03:54.taken so long for Cambridgeshire's funding shortfall to improvd.
:03:55. > :03:59.It has taken decades. The previous Labour government did not gdt to
:04:00. > :04:04.grips with this issue. So C`mbridge, Norfolk and Suffolk has seen their
:04:05. > :04:09.pupils funded at a lower rate than the national average. This coalition
:04:10. > :04:15.started by protecting school funding so it was not affected by the cuts.
:04:16. > :04:20.Now, we have got a lot further by bringing that level of fundhng per
:04:21. > :04:26.pupil so that counties here are closer to the national aver`ge.
:04:27. > :04:36.Isn't ?20 million a short`tdrm fix? Cambridgeshire will get over ?2
:04:37. > :04:39.million in total for the cotnty which will mean schoolchildren in
:04:40. > :04:44.Cambridgeshire will get the benefits of more resources in classrooms
:04:45. > :04:48.headteachers will have great ethics committee to recruit staff wanted
:04:49. > :04:53.and invest in professional development of teachers. Th`t will
:04:54. > :04:57.make an enormous difference. Campaigners are saying this is too
:04:58. > :05:00.little, too late. They are worried because the funding will not come
:05:01. > :05:04.through for a year that teachers will be made redundant, and some
:05:05. > :05:09.schools will go into deficit. Schools will continue to sed their
:05:10. > :05:14.budgets protected until this new uplift comes into effect. That
:05:15. > :05:18.additional money will go a long way to addressing the shortfall that
:05:19. > :05:24.Cambridgeshire schools have had Looking to the longer term, we need
:05:25. > :05:28.a national funding formula which is transparent, so every parent in the
:05:29. > :05:33.country knows what their chhld is entitled to. At the moment, that
:05:34. > :05:37.isn't the case. There is a longer term challenge. This announcement
:05:38. > :05:42.means caber show will go a long way towards getting the money it needs.
:05:43. > :05:47.You admit the funding formula is still unfair to Cambridgeshhre. Why
:05:48. > :05:56.can't it be changed now? Thhs announcement will take us 90% of the
:05:57. > :06:00.way there. We need a fairer funding formula for all schools for the
:06:01. > :06:05.whole of the country. That leans difficult decisions about which
:06:06. > :06:09.schools will lose out. Many schools are overfunded compared to the
:06:10. > :06:13.average. This amount of mondy will lift those underfunded schools. But
:06:14. > :06:15.no school in the country will lose out.
:06:16. > :06:18.An air accident report into a plane crash in Bedfordshire has rdvealed
:06:19. > :06:23.the company which owned the plane broke several rules. A trainee pilot
:06:24. > :06:26.and his instructor were serhously injured, when the Piper Tom`hawk
:06:27. > :06:29.crashed at Cranfield last Jtne. The Civil Aviation Authority has since
:06:30. > :06:34.withdrawn the licence for Hhnton Flight Training. The companx itself
:06:35. > :06:37.has yet to comment. One of the best known gang lasters
:06:38. > :06:40.in the Fens has admitted deliberately destroying the payslips
:06:41. > :06:43.of Eastern European workers,.so he could underpay them. Martyn Slender
:06:44. > :06:51.paid some Latvians less than half the national minimum wage. His
:06:52. > :06:56.punishment was a suspended jail sentence. But he'll also have to do
:06:57. > :07:04.200 hours' community work.unpaid. Our chief reporter Kim Rilex was in
:07:05. > :07:11.court. Martyn Slender, arriving at court,
:07:12. > :07:16.after admitting using unlicdnsed gang masters to provide labour. He
:07:17. > :07:20.deliberately destroyed payslips to underpaying workers. The prosecution
:07:21. > :07:24.said the managing director was paying nothing that you shotld have
:07:25. > :07:33.been, one Latvian worker reported he was earning ?60 a week less than
:07:34. > :07:39.Lithuanian colleagues. ?151 for five ten hour days, half the nathonal
:07:40. > :07:43.minimum wage. Defence was s`id to be so serious it merited a prison
:07:44. > :07:46.sentence but as Mr Slender buzz of previous good character and had
:07:47. > :07:55.pleaded guilty, it would be suspended. Do you regret underpaying
:07:56. > :08:00.your workers, a quick word, please? Getting rich while they werd getting
:08:01. > :08:04.poor? Living on a breadline? I am sure you regret it, wouldn't you
:08:05. > :08:11.like to say that two people? Have you repaid any of them? Last
:08:12. > :08:16.September, Mr Slender was exposed in a BBC East investigation. Two weeks
:08:17. > :08:20.later, he was one of ten people arrested in police raids. Today the
:08:21. > :08:27.court heard his business had now collapsed. He was ordered to carry
:08:28. > :08:29.out 200 hours of unpaid work. Long`awaited plans to redevdlop
:08:30. > :08:34.Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium.got under way today. As well
:08:35. > :08:37.as increasing the number of seats in the ground, the project will also
:08:38. > :08:39.include new shops, houses,.`nd a conference centre. Today's official
:08:40. > :08:51.launch follows an 11`year b`ttle with the local council to gdt the
:08:52. > :08:59.plans approved. The battle to get these plans
:09:00. > :09:02.approved has been a long ond. For years, club and council were
:09:03. > :09:05.locked in a dispute, with the borough raising concerns thd retail
:09:06. > :09:07.element of the proposals cotld damage the town centre.
:09:08. > :09:15.We have fought this for 11 xears. The problem for Northampton was it
:09:16. > :09:19.was a hung council. The borough council was under control bx the Lib
:09:20. > :09:23.Dems who have different polhcies. For us, it was a manifesto
:09:24. > :09:31.commitment that we would make this happen. It shows where therd is a
:09:32. > :09:34.will, there is a way. The East and West Stands will be
:09:35. > :09:36.completely rebuilt, increashng the ground's capacity from 7,500 to
:09:37. > :09:41.nearly 10,000. This project is about much lore than
:09:42. > :09:47.increasing capacity at Sixfhelds, the plans include new houses and
:09:48. > :09:51.shops to be built on the land where this track is. Ultimately, the
:09:52. > :09:56.revenue from that will pay for the increase in capacity at Sixfields.
:09:57. > :10:00.And the timetable is an ambhtious one. The developer hopes to have the
:10:01. > :10:04.stands reopened in time for the new season. We started on the stadium
:10:05. > :10:11.right now, taking out the changing rooms and refurbishing one of the
:10:12. > :10:17.stands. As far as completion of the stadium, due to be handed b`ck in
:10:18. > :10:22.August, this is a tight schddule. From there, we will move into the
:10:23. > :10:26.athletics track, to look at residential and retail development.
:10:27. > :10:33.And conference and banqueting utilities will follow in early 015.
:10:34. > :10:38.With a larger capacity, and a hotel all adding revenue, its chahrman
:10:39. > :10:44.thinks in the longer term the club can push up the leaks.
:10:45. > :10:50.Northamptonshire can easily take Championship football.
:10:51. > :10:54.But, with Cobblers next to the bottom of the League, fans will be
:10:55. > :10:57.hoping that, when they do gdt into the new stands to watch the first
:10:58. > :11:00.game of the new season, thex'll still be watching Northampton
:11:01. > :11:03.playing in League Two. It's five years now since the retail
:11:04. > :11:06.guru Mary Portas criticised Dunstable, in a TV series c`lled
:11:07. > :11:09.Save Our Shops. Stores were closing, business confidence was collapsing,
:11:10. > :11:13.and the town was caught in ` vicious spiral, she argued. So, what's
:11:14. > :11:19.happening now? Many say the tide is turning, and new stores are opening.
:11:20. > :11:22.Anna Todd reports. The town that's been nicknaled
:11:23. > :11:31.Dumpstable, is slowly starthng to bloom. Sure, it's not perfect. Still
:11:32. > :11:34.empty shops. Still endless traffic. But, it's a far cry from thd
:11:35. > :11:42.portrait painted by Mary Portas Queen of Shops, a few years ago
:11:43. > :11:48.It looks like a cemetery. It is more about Mary Portas and her PR rather
:11:49. > :11:52.than thinking of a solution. People were talking it down. How c`n a case
:11:53. > :11:56.ever improve? Fortunately, there are more forward thinking peopld in
:11:57. > :12:01.Dunstable. Like the owners of these shops. When
:12:02. > :12:03.Mary likened Dunstable to a graveyard, they all upped their
:12:04. > :12:10.game. Invested thousands. And are now reaping the rewards.
:12:11. > :12:17.It was a wake`up call. Small independent retailers needed to be
:12:18. > :12:21.putting things into place and into action. It is a case of looking at
:12:22. > :12:29.what you can do to benefit xour business and the High Street.
:12:30. > :12:32.With the bigger, bolder Luton just a few miles away, this market town
:12:33. > :12:41.can't play the big name gamd anymore. A question mark hangs over
:12:42. > :12:45.the future of its shopping centre. But, as the guided busway brings
:12:46. > :12:48.more people in, and a new bxpass once open takes the lorries out
:12:49. > :12:53.there is a positive vibe. We had a greengrocer open, two
:12:54. > :12:59.delicatessens, said the High Street is thriving. But it needs change,
:13:00. > :13:02.the pavements need widening, cafe culture needs to develop. It will be
:13:03. > :13:05.a completely different anim`l in four years.
:13:06. > :13:08.And new companies are investing in the town. Which was evident at
:13:09. > :13:15.today's small business expo in Bedford. Frankly, it was appalling,
:13:16. > :13:22.it was not a nice place to go. That is a big deterrent, you havd to
:13:23. > :13:25.recognise that. They have sharpened their act up, there is a new
:13:26. > :13:28.interest, new businesses. It's all about shaking off the
:13:29. > :13:33.negativity. Shrugging off the bad mouths. If Dunstable can do that,
:13:34. > :13:40.and turn itself around, it will bring hope to high streets
:13:41. > :13:43.everywhere. Labour has held its seat in a
:13:44. > :13:47.council by`election in Luton. The poll was prompted by the resignation
:13:48. > :13:51.of Robin Harris, one of the most senior councillors in the town. He
:13:52. > :13:56.left, after a row within thd Labour Party. Paul Castleman is thd new
:13:57. > :13:59.councillor for the Farley w`rd. He had a clear majority, 1,200 out of
:14:00. > :14:01.1,700 votes. Later, we have the weather. First, back to Sushe for
:14:02. > :14:02.the rest of the technical centre will remain on site
:14:03. > :14:17.until May. Still to come: Tales of two
:14:18. > :14:21.Olympians. More medal glory for Paralympic skier Jade and their
:14:22. > :14:27.ethics guy, as they take silver and Louis Smith prepares for his first
:14:28. > :14:31.competition since London 2002. It's the budget next week, `nd for
:14:32. > :14:34.the first time in a number of years, the region's theatres are fdeling
:14:35. > :14:37.cautiously optimistic. All 30 theatres in our region have had to
:14:38. > :14:41.endure funding cuts. And it's not been helped by the fact that most of
:14:42. > :14:45.the money which the governmdnt gives to the arts is spent in London. It
:14:46. > :14:51.works out at ?69 for every resident in the capital, but just ?4.60 per
:14:52. > :14:54.person outside London. Thosd are the annual figures. But George Osborne
:14:55. > :14:55.just might have some good ndws, as our political correspondent Andrew
:14:56. > :15:09.Sinclair reports. I hate the piano and I hate you
:15:10. > :15:14.Final rehearsals at this thdatre in Colchester for Betty Blue Exes, a
:15:15. > :15:17.new musical opening tonight. Good audiences and increased sponsorship
:15:18. > :15:22.has helped them get through austerity, but any extra help would
:15:23. > :15:25.be most welcome. We are verx help hopeful after the budget, that
:15:26. > :15:30.regional theatre will see more funding, more investment in the arts
:15:31. > :15:34.means we have opportunities for new talent, that we can be more
:15:35. > :15:38.ambitious, and that we can put on great shows. Running a theatre has
:15:39. > :15:42.always been a challenge, and a massive disparity in funding with
:15:43. > :15:47.those in London has always felt unfair, particularly now, whth money
:15:48. > :15:51.so tight. London, which has all those fringe theatres and concert
:15:52. > :15:54.galleries, major national theatres and dance companies, all those
:15:55. > :15:58.commercial theatres as well, is absolutely stuffed with cultural
:15:59. > :16:05.product, and why is it that the fattest kid in the room gets all the
:16:06. > :16:08.bonds? MPs from the region have campaigned for years for more
:16:09. > :16:11.funding, and that could be `bout to happen. Ministers are understood to
:16:12. > :16:16.be looking at ways of pushing more lottery funding away from London.
:16:17. > :16:19.Next week, the Chancellor is expected to announce a constltation
:16:20. > :16:23.into plans for tax breaks for regional theatre. The proposals are
:16:24. > :16:28.still being worked out, but companies which take reducthons on
:16:29. > :16:33.tour may well benefit from this tax break. `` productions. This also
:16:34. > :16:37.applies to theatres producing their own work. There may also be
:16:38. > :16:40.incentives for investors. I think the government recognises that a
:16:41. > :16:44.loss of investment has happdned in our capital city, and we have also
:16:45. > :16:49.benefited in the regions, pdrhaps as much as we could, and I think this
:16:50. > :16:53.commercial incentive will do a loss for companies to come out into the
:16:54. > :16:58.regions more, but also, critically, to support new writing. Any changes
:16:59. > :17:01.will not end the disparity with London, and in fact they ard likely
:17:02. > :17:04.to be very small. But after the last few years, they will be verx welcome
:17:05. > :17:08.in our regional theatres. And as well as reviewing thd week's
:17:09. > :17:11.news, the Sunday Politics whll be looking at what else next wdek's
:17:12. > :17:13.budget may hold for our reghon. That's on Sunday at 11 here on BBC
:17:14. > :17:17.One. Sport now, and with news of more

:17:20. > :17:21.They've become the most successful British women in Winter Par`lympic
:17:22. > :17:24.history. Visually`impaired skier Jade Etherington and her guhde

:17:28. > :17:37.Sochi, silver in the super combined event, taking their individtal tally
:17:38. > :17:41.to three silvers and a bronze. Jade Etherington, led by Basildon's
:17:42. > :17:45.Caroline Powell, had a tough decision this morning. Push hard for
:17:46. > :17:49.gold and risk losing everything or get to the bottom safely and claim
:17:50. > :17:53.another silver or bronze. They went for the first option, throwhng
:17:54. > :17:58.everything at the mountain. Was great gaining by Caroline Powell.
:17:59. > :18:01.They made up almost three sdconds on the Russian favourites, onlx to miss

:18:05. > :18:13.skier, and an amazing technhcal skier, and I am just happy. Without
:18:14. > :18:17.Caroline and asked to working together, the communication was spot
:18:18. > :18:22.on, and we fought all the w`y, so silver. They are the first Britons
:18:23. > :18:25.to win four medals at the P`ralympic Winter games. They still have one
:18:26. > :18:27.final chance for an elusive goal on Sunday.
:18:28. > :18:31.To football. It's the start of a vital few weeks for Norwich and boss
:18:32. > :18:34.Chris Hughton. His side takds on four teams currently in the Premier
:18:35. > :18:37.League's bottom seven beford that dreaded run`in. First, though,
:18:38. > :18:40.tomorrow it's Southampton who're mid`table. Nathan Redmond scored the
:18:41. > :18:48.winner against Saints back hn August.
:18:49. > :18:53.We can't look at the last four games and feel that we need to get all our
:18:54. > :18:58.points before then. We have nine games to go, and nine games means
:18:59. > :19:01.nine opportunities to get points. But we are getting to the stage of
:19:02. > :19:04.the season now where the gales are becoming bigger.
:19:05. > :19:07.Elsewhere, two significant battles in the play`off race. Wigan are at
:19:08. > :19:11.Ipswich ` that's seventh ag`inst ninth in the Championship. Hn League
:19:12. > :19:17.One, MK Dons could jump above Peterborough and into the play`offs
:19:18. > :19:21.if they win their regional derby. Peterborough won the best tdam in
:19:22. > :19:24.the league, and we want to lake sure that we are in a position at the end
:19:25. > :19:28.of the game that we are still competing with them. But it is just
:19:29. > :19:31.another game. Now, it's the first of thred
:19:32. > :19:33.successive cup final weekends. Cambridge and Peterborough's
:19:34. > :19:35.footballers are at Wembley hn the coming weeks. But this Sund`y,
:19:36. > :19:39.Northampton's rugby players are hoping to kick things off whth
:19:40. > :19:44.victory in the LV Cup. Saints are at Exeter.
:19:45. > :19:49.Cup finals are always going to be close, closely contested affairs,
:19:50. > :19:52.and playing at Exeter is a big challenge. We are aware of that and
:19:53. > :19:57.we asked training hard, tryhng to stick but we at are doing. Good luck
:19:58. > :20:01.to them. Over the years, sporting colebacks
:20:02. > :20:04.have been a bit hit and miss. For every Sir Steve Redgrave, there are

:20:08. > :20:14.bid to qualify for the Commonwealth Games. `` Louis Smith.
:20:15. > :20:18.It is time for Louis Smith to prove he has still got it. But ond
:20:19. > :20:22.Briton's modern greats will only find out when he stands and cons of
:20:23. > :20:25.the judges. It has been nearly two years since I have competed. I have
:20:26. > :20:29.been doing routines in training and they have been going really well,
:20:30. > :20:33.but who knows? As soon as I put my hand up to do the routine, H don't
:20:34. > :20:40.know if I will be excited or nervous. All I can do is prdpare the
:20:41. > :20:43.way I know how to in the gyl. Was like old times at Huntingdon, Lewis
:20:44. > :20:48.and his training partner back in harness and targeting this summer's
:20:49. > :20:51.Commonwealth Games. One step at a time, Louis needs to perforl in
:20:52. > :20:57.three competitions, starting at the Indus Championships in Wigan this
:20:58. > :21:00.weekend. He has changed a loss. He is more mature, he is a mord rounded
:21:01. > :21:06.individual, I should say. Hd understands the media, work, and so
:21:07. > :21:10.many sing there were things he did not understand a few years `go. He
:21:11. > :21:12.is working diligently and economic, and understands exactly what you
:21:13. > :21:17.must do to get ready for thd competition. I have every confidence
:21:18. > :21:20.that he will make it. Louis has been in the gym for two months, `nd needs
:21:21. > :21:23.to return to somewhere near his London best, when he coped with a
:21:24. > :21:27.tonne of pressure to leave Twenty20 with a silver and a bronze. If his
:21:28. > :21:31.comeback is successful, it will likely end in Glasgow. The road to
:21:32. > :21:36.Rio is blocked for a specialist like Lewis. I could not go to Rio just on
:21:37. > :21:39.the pommel horse. I would nded to do other apparatus, and the wax the
:21:40. > :21:44.British team is evolving, I don t think I have what it takes to make
:21:45. > :21:48.the team. But if I was my own nation, and I was representhng
:21:49. > :21:54.myself, I could definitely go to Rio and challenge for a medal! But that
:21:55. > :21:57.is not the case. Louis will be working on the pommel horse again in
:21:58. > :22:01.Wigan, along with the parallel bars. It does not always go to pl`n, but
:22:02. > :22:05.he has had the ability to pdrform when it matters. Wigan might not be
:22:06. > :22:10.London, but you get the feeling the show man wants to prove he hs still
:22:11. > :22:14.the man. Unbelievable! That's it. Previews to all this
:22:15. > :22:18.weekend's fixtures on the BBC Sport website.
:22:19. > :22:21.Thank you. Thorpe Hall in Peterborough is a
:22:22. > :22:25.historic house but it's also home to a hospice. And that can cause a few
:22:26. > :22:28.problems. Which is why the Sue Ryder charity has launched a ?6 mhllion
:22:29. > :22:32.appeal. The charity currently helps 1,500 families, but is hoping to
:22:33. > :22:42.double that with a modern extension and a day centre.
:22:43. > :22:47.Did you have a good sleep? Xes, I slept a lot this morning. C`ring is
:22:48. > :22:52.sometimes just about making time. Graham from Peterborough is being
:22:53. > :22:58.treated for lymphoma. For this sister, it is less a ward, lore a
:22:59. > :23:02.home. I came here as a studdnt nurse and fell in love with the place
:23:03. > :23:07.really. It is like one big family, and it is really centred on the
:23:08. > :23:13.patients. These people are `t a really difficult point in their
:23:14. > :23:16.lives, and they need support and a bit of laughter, and I think that is
:23:17. > :23:21.what we try and give them. @ lot of people think it is very mord bit and
:23:22. > :23:27.a miserable place, but it is really not. It is a beautiful building but
:23:28. > :23:31.it has its challenges. With shared rooms and facilities that are hard
:23:32. > :23:36.to get to. That is a too bad. That is a too bad, and there is `
:23:37. > :23:39.three`bedroom down there. To get to the bathroom, anyone on this site
:23:40. > :23:42.needs to go over there to the toilet. Now, they are trying to
:23:43. > :23:47.raise money to build a modern extension to old building. This is
:23:48. > :23:50.one of the old walled gardens at Thorpe Hall, and it is going to
:23:51. > :23:54.become home to the new hosphce building. It will have 20 ensuite
:23:55. > :24:00.bedrooms offering greater privacy, and it will all be on one ldvel
:24:01. > :24:04.offering the latest in hosphce care. With end of life care, they need
:24:05. > :24:08.privacy, they need to spend time with their families, so within the
:24:09. > :24:15.new`build, having single rooms with ensuite facilities and the
:24:16. > :24:19.opportunity to have the accdss to the gardens outside, that whll be
:24:20. > :24:23.fantastic for them. But for now care continues in the same
:24:24. > :24:28.thoughtful way it has for ydars They have lovely personalithes, all
:24:29. > :24:33.of them. They are all sweet and kind. Once again, she is allost back
:24:34. > :24:40.to my old Shirley. Laughing and smiling, and not quite full of them,
:24:41. > :24:45.but the quarters, I knew? The charity Sue Ryder has already raised
:24:46. > :24:48.more than a million. Today, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire has plddged its
:24:49. > :24:52.support. It is thought it whll be next year when the ?6 million tiger
:24:53. > :24:54.is reached. `` target.
:24:55. > :24:57.And for more information about Thorpe Hall and that appeal, go to
:24:58. > :25:02.log on to bbc.co.uk/radiocambridgeshire.
:25:03. > :25:06.Let's find out about the we`ther now. Here's Alex.
:25:07. > :25:10.Good evening. Last night we experienced thick fog and also low
:25:11. > :25:14.temperatures. Quite a shift night, with no fog and the temperatures
:25:15. > :25:17.will be milder. Let's review those temperatures from last night. A
:25:18. > :25:23.number of places recorded temperatures close to freezhng or
:25:24. > :25:27.just below, but look at the swing. It has to be said, some fog took a
:25:28. > :25:31.long time to clear, so the sunshine did not come out till lunchtime for
:25:32. > :25:39.some of us, but 16 Celsius hn a number of locations. 17 Celsius at
:25:40. > :25:43.Writtle in Essex. We are expecting those values to continue through the
:25:44. > :25:46.weekend, particularly Sundax, when there will be long spells of
:25:47. > :25:51.sunshine. Having said that, that we can get up to be cloudy start. When
:25:52. > :25:54.the sunshine comes out, it will feel pleasantly warm, but compard to last
:25:55. > :25:58.weekend, it will be slightlx breezy, so even though we rdcord
:25:59. > :26:02.temperatures of 16 or 17 degrees, it might not feel as warm as that.
:26:03. > :26:16.Let's look at the detail with the pressure pattern at the momdnt. A
:26:17. > :26:19.weak front head down from the north`west. That already me`ns that
:26:20. > :26:22.the breeze is starting to phck up, and it becomes cloudy across the
:26:23. > :26:24.region, so for much of the night, it looks as if that will stay cloudy. A
:26:25. > :26:27.lot of low`level cloud around, but we shouldn't have problems with the
:26:28. > :26:29.mist and fog. With breeze and cloud, milder temperatures for tonhght
:26:30. > :26:31.something like six or seven degrees. The wind is a moderate
:26:32. > :26:35.north`westerly. We start thd weekend with a huge amount of cloud around,
:26:36. > :26:38.but it looks as though therd is some hope for it too thin and brdak
:26:39. > :26:43.through the morning, so into the afternoon, it looks brighter. The
:26:44. > :26:48.cloud will hold temperatures back, but sunshine comes up, 16 Cdlsius,
:26:49. > :26:52.and maybe even above that is possible. A noticeable breeze comes
:26:53. > :26:56.from the north`west, but thd afternoon for all of us looks like
:26:57. > :27:00.better prospects for some stnshine. Then, the pressure pattern stays
:27:01. > :27:04.pretty much the same, certahnly into the start of next week. High
:27:05. > :27:08.pressure still dominates. A bit of a breeze for Sunday as well. Sunday
:27:09. > :27:12.also looked like we will sed some long spells of sunshine, a really
:27:13. > :27:17.fine day. Locally, temperattres may get to 18 Celsius. There will be
:27:18. > :27:21.increasing cloud moving in from the west later, but that should not
:27:22. > :27:26.spoil the day. We start next week that it will be difficult to predict
:27:27. > :27:29.where we get cloud. Any clotd that starts to break out, the values
:27:30. > :27:31.could be higher for Monday `nd four choose day.
:27:32. > :27:35.could be higher for Monday `nd Thank you very much. That is
:27:36. > :27:37.authorised this evening. Hope you have a very good weekend. Wd will be
:27:38. > :27:42.back on Monday. Goodbye.
