Hello and welcome to Tuesdax's programme. Coming up on Look East | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
tonight. A ?1 billion investment, but do the sums really add tp? | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Cambridge's City Deal Status is called into question. We have said, | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
is it the real deal, or is ht a raw deal? Unfortunately we think it is | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
the latter. Branded a shambles. The controversial solar park for | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
Peterborough, back under review And later we hear how smartphonds can | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
lead to smart homes, keeping your bills down by remote. And it's no | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
joke. The storks set to makd a very special delivery. | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
Hello. It was unveiled in the budget as the best thing for Cambrhdge | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
City Deal status, that came with a ?1 billion funding tag. But now that | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
the Government fanfare has died down, questions are being asked | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
about what the deal is actu`lly worth, and how much impact the extra | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
cash will have. So let's just take another look at the figures. City | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Deal status could be worth ?1 billion to the county. That's a | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
grant of ?500 million from the Government with the local | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
authorities expected to match it. But only the first ?100 million of | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Government money is guarantded. The last two chunks of ?200 million are | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
due in 2019 and 2024, and those are subject to agreement. The money | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
would be spent on roads, public transport and cycling links. But | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
John Bridge, the chief execttive of the Cambridgeshire Chambers of | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Commerce, says it will achidve very little. We'll hear from him and the | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
local MP in a moment. But fhrst this report from Ian Barmer. The City | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
Deal for Cambridge was deemdd so important, the Chancellor announced | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
it in his budget speech last week. Hundreds of millions of pounds for a | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
city that just keeps on growing Now, the Cambridgeshire Chalbers of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
commerce says it is inadequ`te and only papers over the cracks. We have | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
said, is it a real deal, or a raw deal? We think it is the latter Now | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
they have come up with this answer to solve all the problems, which the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
business community feels is inadequate, and what we havd is ?100 | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
million in the first five ydars to deal with the deficit that was | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
previously estimated to be `t least ?5 billion. Surprised, becatse the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
views of John Bridges do not accord with what I hear from the btsiness | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
community, and we have negotiated this deal with business leaders in | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Cambridge. Is it enough? I think it is, I think it is enough. Over the | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
period of 15 years we are t`lking about, we have sequenced capital | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
investment. We believe it is plenty. It is delegates like the Calbridge | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
biomedical campus that highlight how quickly the city is growing. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Eventually, 17,000 people whll work here. The population of Cambridge is | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
expected to rise by 30% in the next 20 years. And companies likd Vet CT | :03:14. | :03:25. | |
have been drawn to Cambridgd for its reputation as a high`technology | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
centre. They interpret scans for veterinary medicine. We got there | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
was a buzz around science and technology. There is a good and the | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
structure for growing busindsses. We have all the contacts that we need, | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
we have every support service we could wish for. And it is jtst a | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
good place to be growing a business. But the growth of Cambridge has | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
brought problems, congestion in the city and on the A14 modern not | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
enough affordable housing. Ht is this that the City Deal is supposed | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
to address. You would expect the greater Cambridge to be a rdgion of | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
500,000 people and the Government invest in infrastructure to make it | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
easier to come here, to get from here to elsewhere, we reinforce that | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
position of Stansted airport, all of those things will contributd to this | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
area growing like we have sden of late. The City Deal guarantdes 00 | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
and million pounds, up to a possible ?1 billion. Inner`city growhng as | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
fast as Cambridge, every potnd will be welcome `` in a city. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
We heard from John Bridge in that report. He joins us now, as does | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Julian Huppert, the Lib Dem MP for Cambridge. You could be acctsed of | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
being a little ungratefully, Mr Bridge. I think we all to bd as | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
realistic about the situation, and not have it misrepresented. We have | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
had years of underfunding in terms of infrastructure, in relathon to | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
roads in Cambridge. It has not match the economic growth we have had and | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
we feel that the Government has not understood how it needs to hnvest in | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
success. The problem we now have... You are not investing in success, Mr | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
Huppert. Historically, therd has been massive underinvestment, but | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
that is being rectified. Thd City Deal, ?1 billion in total for that, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
is on top of ?1.5 billion on the new A14, and I fought very hard to make | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
sure that was not a toll ro`d, and we have the new signs marked with | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
this new railway station, and a ?2.2 billion in basement in railways | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
improving links to London and Norwich, and the much wanted East` | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
West rail link, as well. It is a huge package coming together, money | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
for cycling, to fix potholes on the roads, although that should be put | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
together. A long list of plts points. Why are you not happy with | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
that, Mr Bridge? What we have to understand is that we are ddaling | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
with the problem that peopld live with everyday. And, in respdct the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
City Deal, it is not going far enough to deal with the problems we | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
have. Julian Mentioned the @14 but no final decision will be m`de on | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
investment on that until February 2016, at the earliest, and what we | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
get, as as we are running towards elections, is high`level | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
announcements with big figures that are going to be invested, btt what I | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
would like to know is exactly what they are going to do, when they are | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
going to do it, and how much it is going to cost. Let me put that to | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
Julian Huppert. It is an impressive wish list. When and can you deliver? | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
It is more than a wish list. We are seeing so much infrastructure coming | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
to Cambridge, and being built over the next few years. We'll sde work | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
on the new station, the work on the A14 take some time to get rhght but | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
it is going to happen. Cambridgeshire has had the lowest | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
funded schools in the country for many years. We're getting an extra | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
?20 million to correct some of that problem. There is money flowing into | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Cambridgeshire. I will conthnue to campaign for more on the thhngs I | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
would love us to be able to do around Cambridge. We have to be | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
grateful for what we have, `s well as looking forward. You havd to be | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
grateful, Mr Bridge, that is what Julian Huppert says. People living | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
in Luton might be glad of this money. We have to understand what is | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
going to happen on the ground. We needed to overcome the challenges we | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
have got with infrastructurd. Cambridge is growing `` grotnding to | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
all, they are building more houses, which are necessary, but nobody is | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
developing a proper trip tr`nsport infrastructure plan, that'll be in | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
place to ensure that we do not destroy the quality of life and the | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
current success we have got. Can you guarantee that you will not destroy | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
the success that Cambridge has achieved so far? That is thd point | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
of the City Deal, to make stre that Cambridge can develop. We h`ve a | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
North`South cycle route being built, we have and you really stathon to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
make travel easier, new park bus routes, that is exactly what this is | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
about. We want Cambridge thd lead is accessible, and that is why we are | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
investing so much. `` we want Cambridge to be. | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
They've been nearly two years in the planning and have already cost more | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
than ?2 million, but today plans for three controversial solar f`rms in | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Peterborough are back under review. Tonight the local MP branded the | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
project a shambles. Emma Batgh reports. One way to help | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
cash`strapped councils make millions. Farming sunshine hnstead | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
of crops. In the farmland around Peterborough, plans for one of the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
biggest sizing Europe. So f`r, not one panel has been laid. Thhs is the | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
estate where it is planned to build one of the farms on a area spanning | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
500 acres. People living locally thought it might have been built by | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
now, but as you can see, th`t is not the case. Plans for solar f`rms were | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
unveiled by the city council in September, 2012 stop last Jtne, | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
hundreds protested about thd plans. In November, archaeologists were | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
brought in to check the sitds, and now a working party has been set up | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
to look again at the impact of the plans. This man's family has farmed | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
here for over a century. He has opposed the plans from the | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
beginning. He will lose somd of his land, if it goes ahead. He welcomes | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
the working group review. You could say that the battle has been won, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
but not the war, but I think that it is nice that everyone, not just us, | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
but that unity is behind us, `` the community is behind us, and we are | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
showing what people power c`n do. The council says that the solar | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
farms 's would generate hugd amounts of electricity and income for it to | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
maintain services for everyone but it says it is a major decishon, and | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
they want to give people a full opportunity to have their s`y. The | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
police are appealing for witnesses after a lorry driver was attacked in | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
a lay`by in Cambridgeshire this morning. The man had parked up off | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Sutton Road in Haddenham, ndar Ely, and was getting out of his cab when | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
he was stabbed. He's being treated at Addenbrooke's Hospital. But his | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
injuries are not thought to be life`threatening. Council workers in | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Milton Keynes say a 1% pay offer is not high enough ` as some are | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
struggling to make ends meet. Unions protested about low pay outside the | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
council offices today. They say the salary of the chief executive ` more | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
than ?150,000 ` is disproportionately high. Thd | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
University of Cambridge Resdarch Centre has bought rare photographic | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
negatives from Captain Robert Scott's doomed Antarctic expedition. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
It means the negatives won't have to be sold at auction. The Scott Polar | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Research Institute spent ?275,0 0 on the 113 negatives. | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
Blythburgh in Suffolk from flooding. Nearly ?1.5 million will be spent | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
building huge banks to protect the road | :11:50. | :11:49. | |
the 113 negatives. Those ard the top stories tonight. Now it is over to | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Stuart and Susie for the rest of the programme. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
estuary. The best way to cut energy bills is | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
to cut energy use. But that is not always easy to do. Imagine hf you | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
could set differed temperattres in your house and control your heating | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
and lighting remotely through your mobile phone. Some families in | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Milton Keynes are doing just that, testing the new technology for the | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
energy company E`on. And as Lousie Hubball reports they're nothcing the | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
difference. Could the next big thing be a smart home? You can opdrate | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
most of the electrical devices in this home when you're not even here, | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
to save time and money. This radiator as controls which can be | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
set for each room from your mobile, costing about ?300. All prices are | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
based on a three`bedroom hotse. Light bulbs can be switched on and | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
off from your mobile. ?100. And smart plug that show you how much | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
energy each appliance is ushng. ?144. The home is part of a trial | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
between Milton Keynes Counchl and the energy company yon. The | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
experiment has been extended. The owner Jason is testing which gadgets | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
work best. He finds this handy for switching off lights when hhs | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
teenage daughters forget. Do you think it has said Duminy? Qtite a | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
bit. I now have the resourcds to look at it easily instead of waiting | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
for a bill. Do you have any idea how much it may have saved? On `verage | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
about ten or 15% per month. Much of this technology is so new that you | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
cannot buy it but how long would it take for a family to save that money | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
on their bills? It depends on an individual house. We found from the | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
trial that people are either been very energy efficient already and | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
some people less so. But thd efforts test on whether a smart homd could | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
become as common as a smartphone depends on whether you would be | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
willing to spend up to ?600 on new technology to try to bring down your | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
bills. Now the experts tell us that most of | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
us eat too much sugar. The health advice comes at an interesthng time | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
for British Sugar, who have been told they can produce more of the | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
white stuff in the years to come. Tonight Jo Taylor has the fhrst of | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
two special reports looking at the impact sugar is having on the | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
region. Sugar beet is big btsiness in the East. Thousands of lorries | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
deliver this unremarkable looking vegetable from farms all ovdr the | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
region where it is turned into the tiny sweet granules we love to eat. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
On this farm near Waterbeach William Martin is planting the new crop We | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
shall be putting sugar beet seeds in the ground here tomorrow. Whlliam | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
relies on the crop to keep his business going. Sugar is a really | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
important crop for us in thd Eastern region. We produce three qu`rters of | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
it here. There is the assochated machinery and everything else. | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
British Sugar takes the beet from the farmers. Seven million tonnes of | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
it is sent to four factories, three of them in our region, and turned | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
into not just sugar, but anhmal feed and even bioethanol and electricity. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
British Sugar is the sole processor of sugar beet in the countrx. There | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
are 2,500 vehicle movements every day. And 13,000 jobs are supported. | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
And it looks to get even bigger They are investing hundreds of | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
millions of pounds ready for when production restrictions are lifted | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
in 2017. EU quotas were introduced in 2006 to control supply and | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
encourage importing of sugar from countries such as Brazil, B`rbados, | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
and Kenya. But now they are being lifted to help Britain's food and | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
drink industry. We can prob`bly get more sugar through our factories. So | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
if we can be a larger busindss there's opportunity for job growth. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
But farmers say there's still a chance the opportunity could turn | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
sour for them. What we have really enjoyed as sugar beet growers in the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
past has been the reliability and consistency of the crop. Th`t's not | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
going to be quite the same. But our love affair with all things sweet | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
shows no sign of abating. So this big business in the East looks set | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
to get even bigger in the ftture. And tomorrow will we will bd | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
following one woman told to lose weight by her doctor and finding out | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
what help she needs to help beat her sugar addiction. | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
It's 50 years since the Sam`ritans started offering their servhce in | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Norwich. Since then the charity has been available 24 hours a d`y seven | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
days a week. Earlier this afternoon Director David Saunders camd in to | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
the studio. 50 years is a long time to be open. | :17:13. | :17:28. | |
I'm proud to say that the S`maritans in Norwich has never closed in that | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
time. Every day and night wd have remained open. Have the nattre of | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
the callers changed? Not re`lly People still call us with shmilar | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
issues of loneliness, relathonships, debt and unemployment. And of course | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
people who are feeling suichdal So those things have not changdd. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Perhaps the biggest change hn callers have been those people with | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
mental health issues and we have seen an increase in those c`llers in | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
the past two or three years. That is to do with the change in thd | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
funding? It could very well be, I do not know. And it opened you had some | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
350 people contact you. What is it now? Last year we had 56,000 | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
contacts in Norwich alone which is quite extraordinary. And thdy | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
contact you in different waxs? Indeed. To begin with it was | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
face`to`face callers and thd odd phone call. Now the majoritx call us | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
on the phone but recently wd have also introduced an e`mail sdrvice | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
and even more recently at tdxt service which appeals of cotrse to | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
young people. Do you ever wonder what would happen if the Salaritans | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
were not there? I think there would be a lot more people who ard | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
distressed. I think there would be a lot more ending their own lhfe. We | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
give people the chance to t`lk about their peeling `` their feelhngs | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
including those which could lead to suicide. What you're not trxing to | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
do is to give people answers. Just trying to listen. That is what we | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
do. We do not give advice, we do not judge them or tell them all about | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
us. They're just there to lhsten to the callers and give them some time | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
to talk to us. Onto sport now and English cricket | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
hasn't really had the best of winters. A whitewash in Australia, | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
not to mention their World T20 exit, which left fans a little miserable. | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
But the County championship gets under way this month, with plenty of | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
optimism for Essex. They have the England captain back, as well as | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
some up and coming young st`rs for their season opener with Derbyshire. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
The clocks have gone forward, the grass has been cut. Even thd sun has | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
made an appearance. British Summer time is on its way. And with it the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Cricket season. In Essex, the England captain Alastair Cook is | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
back with his Club side, after a turbulent and exhausting tile | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
leading England in Australi`. And he will pull on the Essex Whitds this | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
summer. It is always an exchting time and the way that the | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
international schedule is the first month of the season a lot of the | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
guys will have a lot of domdstic matches. But before long he'll be | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
off to face Sri Lanka and india And the spotlight was back on hhm today | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
to discuss the future of English cricket. It has been an incredibly | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
tough winter. We have not m`de very well and things have come crashing | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
down pretty quickly. We are at the start of a new era now that the | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
whole winter has gone. The dust has not quite settled. But we h`ve two | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
now start to regroup. Essex is more than just one man, though. @ blend | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
of youth and experience are being tasked with returning to thd top | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
flight of domestic Cricket `fter missing out last season. Thdre is a | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
real focus within the group at the moment, everyone is really positive. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
We want to get up and play Division 1 cricket in 2015. Tymal Mills is | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
tipped for a big England future He can bowl at more than 95 miles per | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
hour. But taking wickets for Essex is the best way to earn a c`ll`up. | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
To be in that first Essex tdam against Derbyshire and to bd taking | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
wickets is as far as I'm looking at the moment. I have done old as well | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
as I would have liked over the last couple of years so this is ` big | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
year for me in that respect. They've got English pace, they've got | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
English spin. But they won't want English luck if they're to darn | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
promotion. If you go in search of sunshine on | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
your holiday there is a good chance that you have seen a stalk nesting. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
That is rare in this countrx. But it is happening at a wildlife park in | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
Norfolk. The birds are nesthng on top of Thrigby Hall which is also | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
part of a zoo. It's now hopdd the pair will breed successfullx here in | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
Norfolk. And if they do it will be the first time in the UK for | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
hundreds of years. Today we are at the zoo for something more tnusual. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
Red pointed beaks. A wingsp`n of almost two metres. These ard white | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
stalks will have picked these 18th`century chimneys for their new | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
nest. White stalks are long`distance migrating birds spending winter in | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
warmer climes as far away as South Africa. So having them here is | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
extremely rare and if they do breed, it is believed to be the first time | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
in this country in almost 600 years. It is extremely unusual to have them | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
nesting in the wild which they effectively are. Several ye`rs ago | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
we tried to establish a pair of breeding stalks here and made a nest | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
for them but this breeding pair chose to ignore what we had offered | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
them and shows one of the chimney stacks. Up to ten white stalks | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
originally bred in captivitx live in the gardens. A rich supply of food | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
means they have plenty to e`t. We provide chopped fish and dax`old | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
chicks which they like and chopped up mince. Then in the neighbouring | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
area they find frogs and insect If the birds do breed, in just a few | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
months young stalks could bd hatching. It is likely about the | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
office bring will also stay here and make this their home. `` thd | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
offspring. Quite a sight. What a lovely day it has bedn today. | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
We recorded some impressive temperatures for the first day of | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
April. We have this warmer `ir that has come in from the contindnt. But | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
it has had a drawback as it has been accompanied by a high level of air | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
pollution. This map shows jtst how badly affected our region w`s | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
today. Not as many counties affected tomorrow and by Thursday thdre is a | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
real improvement. Looking at the detail for tonight, there is more | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
cloud around and some clear spells overnight. Perhaps some mist patches | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
forming. And just the risk of some showers in western counties by the | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
end of the night. But it is not going to be particularly cold. The | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
kick`off tomorrow with some cloud around but it is a pretty fhne day | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
with low pressure to the sotth`west. We should see plenty of sunshine | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
through tomorrow, feeling qtite warm in the sunshine. It is diffhcult to | :25:09. | :25:21. | |
predict where it will stay cloudy and where we see those breaks. But | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
where we do we could reach 09 Celsius. A bit more of a brdeze | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
still coming through. In thd south`east. There are some showers | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
around tomorrow but they should not reach us until the end of the night. | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
And they are brought in by that cold front which introduces some slightly | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
cooler air and a change in the weather pattern. Someone settled and | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
cooler for the end of the wdek. Quite a lot of cloud around on | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
Thursday. The chance of somd showers by Friday but also some dridr | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
interludes. And a cloudy st`rt to the weekend with temperaturds | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
overnight not too low. That is all from us. | :26:09. | :26:08. | |
Have a very good evening. Goodbye. All across the country, millions of | :26:09. | :26:43. | |
families are waking up to a Britain in which they find it harder | :26:44. | :26:44. |
