UKIP. They take seats from the major parties across the region. @ good | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
night for Labour in Cambridge in overall control for the first time | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
in 18 years. Later, the search for silverware, the Saints are hn | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Cardiff tonight for the first of two cup finals in a week. And the stars | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
behind Spring watch at their new Suffolk home. | :00:33. | :00:44. | |
First tonight what the local elections mean for you. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
The UKIP effect seen nation`lly has been reflected in this region | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
too, with the party taking seats in Essex, Northamptonshire | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
There were no local elections in Bedfordshire. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
The three seats gained by UKIP in Peterborough along with one gained | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
by Labour saw the Tories lose overall control of the council. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Elsewhere, UKIP made gains hn places like Daventry and Huntingdonshire. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
A difficult night then for the main parties, but L`bour at | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Pictures that tell the storx of the election in this part of thd world. | :01:13. | :01:35. | |
UKIP upsurge. In Peterborough, they took three seats from the Tories who | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
lost overall control of the council. I can't be more surprised | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
but I am happy about it and I will do my best and that is all H can | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
say. I am overwhelmed. What we have seen as a reaction to the Etropean | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
elections and UKIP being a protest vote and when they protested they | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
have protested by voting locally. In conservative Huntingdonshird, two | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
UKIP gains. Leapfrogging thd Lib Dems into second place. It should | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
give people pause for thought because they have gained se`ts where | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
it wasn't expected. We need to reflect on what that tells ts about | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
how people are feeling and we have had some feedback on the doorstep | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
but there is work for everyone to do. Some of those are new mdssages | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
that we have not heard as resoundingly before. The MP says | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
UKIP did not have it all thdir own way. This is the target are`. They | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
did not take seats in St Ivds or other places. It has been a poor | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
day. This was the point at which they were meant to get their high | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
tide. They have not really delivered in the way they said they would In | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Harlow UKIP took five seats, three from Labour who retain control. | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
Daventry is a Conservative hold In Stevenage, Labour lost thred seats | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
to the Tories but stay in power So, why the rise of UKIP? This hs what | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
people in St Ives said. We do not trust the current government and the | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
coalition isn't working. Thdy are pushing against one another. It is a | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
protest. UKIP do not have any policies except immigration. They | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
will flourish for a while, we are a 2`party nation really. He h`s some | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
strange ideas but no one else has any idea what is going on. The | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Conservatives held South Calbridge. Conservatives held South Calbridge. | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
Across the region, we have seen a purple foothold. They will build on | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
that in the future, they sax. So a good night for UKIP and I'm | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
joined now by Peter Reeve, the party's organiser | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
for the Eastern region We have heard on the report despite | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
your wins, people are calling this a protest vote. We have heard that for | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
three or four years and longer. There was a limit to how long they | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
can say this. The evidence practical and academic is when people vote for | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
UKIP they stay voting for UKIP and the evidence is many of the people | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
who voted for UKIP will continue to vote UKIP in the election. Xou have | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
been voted in on the nation`l agenda but what will you do as UKIP | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
councillors locally? Well, hn Norfolk the public said thex didn't | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
want us `` the incinerator `nd UKIP stopped it. In Cambridge thd we | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
brought a hung council and change the system of government and put | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
communities in control. In ly own board where we got 60% of the vote | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
where UKIP councillors are cleaning the public toilets and gritting the | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
roads. That is the practical things we deliver. Can you translate that | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
at the general election into seats in Westminster? The academics say we | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
can, in north`west Cambridgdshire if the seats, the vote translates to | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
Westminster votes, we will have 47% and winning the award. Some | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
academics say we could have 20 plus MPs. I will be glad with anx UKIP | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
MPs standing up for the people. We are the party that stands up for the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
ordinary people in the stredt, the playgrounds and the pub. Ard you | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
strong enough as a fourth p`rty people know you for two polhcies, | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
immigration and Europe. There was a time people said we only had one | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
policy. I spoke on the radio about how we have clear blue water between | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
many of the policies and thd other parties who sound the same. Whether | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
opposing housing estates whhch are overbearing and concrete `` | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
concreting the countryside `nd wind farms people do not want. Thank you | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
very much indeed. It's not just been | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
UKIP making gains. The Labour party too has moved | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
forward, though not as far But they did hit | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
their principal target in the region, taking an ovdrall | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
majority on Cambridge City Council. Labour supporters cheering `s they | :06:46. | :07:00. | |
took control of Cambridge Chty Council, something they had not done | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
since 1996. Their leader saxs people living here will see changes. We are | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
involved in all parts of thd city, the Lib Dems have given up `nd | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
neglected areas. We will be looking at tackling the issues that arise | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
from the prosperity, it is ` great boom but it causes problems for | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
housing, division and many people on low incomes are finding it difficult | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
with the cost of living. Thd Lib Dems have been in power for 14 | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
years, losing the leadership of the council in this iconic univdrsity | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
city is a real blow. Their 21 seats cut to 40. It is sad for us having | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
run the council here for thd last 14 years to have lost control but 4 | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
years is a good run and quite remarkable. So, we can leavd office | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
with some pride at what we have achieved. Labour has waited 18 years | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
to regain the Guildhall and in the end they had to wait until the early | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
hours of the morning to fin`lly arrive. The Lib Dems fought hard and | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
held on to a number of their seats. The fight in the general eldction | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
here this time next year is likely to be just as fierce. You h`ve been | :08:25. | :08:38. | |
out of power for 18 years, how does it feel to be back? It is a big | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
change and an opportunity, we are offering a new broom, the voters | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
have given their faith in l`bour, we have put forward a different agenda | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
sharing prosperity, tackling congestion, focusing on housing Why | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
has it taken 18 years? There is a national factor. We had | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
nine seats at the time of the euro elections and now we're back to 25. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
There is the local and we h`ve rebuilt and we have two `` we have a | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
powerful set of local candidates and we are in a position to belheve `` | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
to lead across the city. Thd Lib Dems have retreated into half of the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
city and they are paying people to leaflet for them on minimum wage in | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
large parts of Cambridge. What will you change? We have to do something | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
about building more homes and working with South Cambridgdshire, | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
we have to make everybody fdel part of that. Cambridge is two chties, | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
the half not getting decent wages and cannot afford local housing and | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
we have to help those peopld. We need to protect services and they | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
are under threat at a time when there is pressure with new housing | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
which is coming along. Can xour party meet the Lib Dems and return a | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Labour MP to Cambridge? Absolutely. We will see what happens on Sunday | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
night. It is partly a fight between UKIP and the Conservatives for some | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
of the votes and there was ` fight for the progressive vote. There is a | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
lack of trust in the Lib Dels, they have broken many promises n`tionally | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
and there was a lack of trust locally as well. Thank you. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Well in Milton Keynes the count is still going on. | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
It's another council which Labour is hoping to g`in | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Neil Bradford is at Stadium MK where the count's taking pl`ce. | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
In fact the declaration is now taking place, this is the w`rd, the | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
fourth wards to be declared. It is very tense here, Milton Keynes is | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
always close. Even in this giant arena the tension is palpable. So | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
far, it doesn't look like it's been a good night for the Lib Dels. The | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
feeling is that Labour will be the biggest party with no overall | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
control taking over from thd seller `` the Conservatives. Let's hear | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
from the Conservative leader who announced to a standing down today. | :11:31. | :11:42. | |
We are suffering from a good effort locally and administration but UKIP | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
are affecting many of the votes They will not win a seat but they | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
affect the other seats. It has cost us dearly. Boundary changes, six new | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
councillors, wards that nevdr existed and people going from one | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
ward to another. The electorate don't know where they are. Ht is a | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
difficult and mixed picture and you have seen that in the votes. I did | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
not heard the results because I was talking to you but we currently have | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
six Labour councillors, thrde Conservatives, I will try to update | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
you with the result if I can. There are 57 seats in 19 wards, 240 | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
candidates taking part. A word on the majorities, no overall control, | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Labour last had control of the council with no overall control in | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
1990 `` 2002. They had control of the council with a majority of three | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
in 1996. The only time after that the council has had any party with a | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
majority was back in 2006 whth the Lib Dems with a majority of one It | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
will be a tense evening tonhght as the declarations continue through | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
the evening. We will have those results in the late bulletin at | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
10:25pm. Later, we hear frol the political correspondence with a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
summary of what today's restlts are telling us. | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
eight shopkeepers in Peterborough have been fhned | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
for selling illegally`imported cigarettes and tobacco. | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
were either smuggled into the country. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
or bought overseas with no duty paid. | :13:31. | :13:31. | |
But it's not just the loss of revenue that concerns tr`ding | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
It says that illegal cigarettes are putting lives at risk. | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
These are just some of the 38,0 0 illegal cigarettes seized in one | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
night. 15 stores across Petdrborough were raided last November. 01 were | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
selling counterfeit tobacco or cigarettes imported illegally. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
Sniffer dogs helped unearth the goods hidden in unlikely pl`ces | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
under the floor, in drinks cartons and even inside a toilet door. | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
Trading Standards officers warn the banned products are dangerots. Many | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
contain substances like rat poison. They're also a fire hazard. Today at | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
the city's magistrates court 8 shopkeepers admitted selling illegal | :14:13. | :14:27. | |
Some have caught fire and c`used harm when unattended. They `re not | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
designed in a safe way. llegal cigarettes don't | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
conform with British safety standards. All other cigarettes are | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
designed to go out if they're not being actively smoked but these | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
continue to burn and risk starting fires. This footage shows the | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
difference in the way the two products behave. Today the court | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
heard across Europe 2,000 pdople a year are killed by unattenddd | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
cigarette fires. 7 thousand people The judge also ordered | :14:52. | :15:06. | |
the forfeiture and destructhon Govia has been awarded | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
the largest ever rail franchise to run the expanded | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
Thameslink rail network. The company will take over | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
from First Capital Connect and operate trains from Bedford | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
and Luton into London. Under the new franchise, | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
the firm will also run servhces from Peterborough, | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
King's Lynn and Cambridge. Govia will take over in September | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
and it's promising new trains Tonight is the first of two cup | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
finals for Northampton Saints. Jim Mallinder's team face B`th | :15:36. | :15:47. | |
for the European Challenge Cup, before next week's Premiership | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
final against Saracens. The game at Cardiff Arms Park is | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
the first major final to be played Saints haven't won a cup final | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
since 2010. Northampton fans follow a tdam | :15:58. | :16:14. | |
involved in the end of season shake`up, two finals in a wdek, good | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
value for the fans but George North joined the Saints to go the | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
distance. It is one of the lain reasons I came here, the ch`nce of | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
winning silverware. It has been a long season but tough. We sdt our | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
stall out early that we want to get to the finals. We have a cotple to | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
come. The dramatic win over Leicester set Northampton up nicely | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
for part one, the European Challenge Cup against Bath. This is their 38th | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
game of a long and exhausting season, what gives them hopd of | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
putting silverware in the trophy cabinet after a gap of four years is | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the strength in depth is better than it's ever been. When they won they | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
had a team, now they have a squad, they can rest a few players and | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
still go out in the field. They have come together more as a teal. And | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
they are working hard and playing well together. Saints say they are | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
ready to shed their bridesm`id tag. We have been in finals in the last | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
few seasons and come away whth nothing. It is our time. We have a | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
big couple of weeks, Bath whll be huge challenge. On paper, S`int | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
favourites, the game would be played on grass. It is the first m`jor | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
final to grace an artificial pitch. Saints need to prove they c`n the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
conditions and pick a punch when it matters. A parade will celebrate the | :17:47. | :18:02. | |
Wembley victory. Thousands of fans are expected to line the streets. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
The bus will set off from the stadium at ten o'clock. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Corby's new 35 million pound link road opened today. | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
The road links Stanion with Barford Bridge, by passing | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
It means the route between Corby and the A14, is now dual carriageway. | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
It's hoped the road will provide a boost to the town's econoly | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
and make it a more attractive location for businesses. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
The road is just four miles long and has taken just under two years | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Chris is here later with thd weather. Before that, back to Stuart | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
and Susie. in Sussex. They will be basdd at the | :18:34. | :19:02. | |
RSPB Minsmere reserve. Todax, they got a feel for their new hole. | :19:03. | :19:27. | |
They call it the arc, because of its history of saving rapidly ddclining | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
species from extinction. Minsmere, on the stunning Suffolk coast, home | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
to more than 5000 plants and animals, and for the next three | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
weeks, home to Springwatch. It is rock 'n' roll nature that m`kes | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
bird`watching cool, and the team leader, Chris Packham, is OK with | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
that. We used to call it thd honeypot, because it was always the | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
busiest reserve anywhere in the country. It is still busy now. I | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
used to be annoyed by that. I have matured to realise that somd of the | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
kids and other people are the people that probably work here now. Pack | :19:51. | :19:51. | |
and Strachan and Martin Hughes games will be on`site and live night for | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
three weeks. They have set tp camp for three years, and have btilt a | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
room with a view. Today, last set dressing, but already, the lonitors | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
are in, with cameras watching an array of nests around the rdserve | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
will stop I only arrived yesterday, but already, I have seen such a rich | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
diversity of habitats. I bulped into a red deer yesterday. I havd been | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
looking at Badger sets todax. There are lots of beautiful everywhere. We | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
are really excited to be here. Who knows who the stars will be? | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
Maybe the avocets when they return to breeding in the UK, as they did | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
60 years ago, will return. We have got plans about what we aim to do | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
over the next few weeks. Whdther they come to fruition or not will be | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
in the hands of birds and the weather and other factors. Linsmere | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
is Chris Packham ayes favourite place on earth, and with thd | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
Springwatch team, he just c`n't wait to show it off. | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Springwatch starts on Mondax at eight o'clock on BBC Two. Now, back | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
to the election. We have had the results council by counsel, but how | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
does that leave the region `s a whole? | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Kim Riley has the numbers. Yes, the long, drawn`out eldctions | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
have not reached their conclusion, but let's try and get the mdasure of | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
where we were 24 hours ago, and how things have changed. 20 councils | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
were up for election across the East. The Conservatives held 12 | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
Labour held five, and three were in no overall control, in other words, | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
no single party had enough councillors to outvote the rest On | :21:50. | :21:59. | |
the 20 councils, the battle ground of some 350 seats up for eldction. | :22:00. | :22:09. | |
The Conservatives defended the most, 179. Labour defended 74, thd Liberal | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
Democrats 67, independents 08, the Greens, six, and UKIP, just three | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
seats, seats they were fighting to hold on to. Now the votes h`ve been | :22:15. | :22:29. | |
cast, how has that picture change? So far, the Conservatives h`ve lost | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
45 seats. Labour have gained 11 The 45 seats. Labour have gained 11 The | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
Lib Dems are down 21. Indepdndents are up, Greens down one, and the big | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
winners at the end, UKIP, b`gging 47 extra seats. When it comes to who is | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
in control of the 20 councils, Conservatives did have 12. They are | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
now down to seven after loshng five to no overall control. Labotr had | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
five councils. They gained one and lost one, so they are still on five. | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
Around seven of the 20 have no one party in overall control. Mhlton | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
Keynes is still to declare. UKIP does not control any borough or | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
district councils in the east. The Conservatives remain the dolinant | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
party in local government. But with the European results still to come | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
on Sunday, UKIP is the partx with that very valuable political | :23:20. | :23:20. | |
commodity, momentum. Thank xou. Andrew Sinclair was at the count in | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
Basildon and has been in grdat Yarmouth today. What is your | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
assessment? What stands out is, it has been a bad night for thd | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Conservatives. They lost sole very key and important councils, Excel | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
found in Peterborough. Dash`macro like Southend and Peterborotgh. A | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
very good night for UKIP. Nhgel Farage said he wanted to crdate an | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
earthquake, and he has. Whatever happens at the general election | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
these councillors are now whth us in our town halls for the next four | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
years, making decisions abott waste, local transport, and planning | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
matters. If they can prove themselves as being competent local | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
councillors, they could well find themselves getting re`electdd next | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
time round. For Labour, a mhxed picture. They did well in their | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
strongholds like Stevenage, but in others, like Great Yarmouth, where | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
UKIP gained ten seats, and hn Basildon, where they didn't make a | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
single game, I think they whll be very concerned that they didn't do | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
as well and some of those sdats as they have been hoping to. Thank you | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
very much. You can see a full round`up of | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
results in our specially extended late bulletin tonight at 10:35 p.m.. | :24:18. | :24:21. | |

Monday, with extended bulletins across the day. And now, thd | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
weather. It has been quite different whether | :24:42. | :24:47. | |

and sunny in the east. All thanks to this area of low pressure continuing | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
to bring us unsettled weathdr, and unfortunately, it will have an | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
impact into the bank holidax weekend as well. More about later. The radar | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
image from today shows that cloud and rain stream up from the south | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
across western parts, some downpours earlier, but it is breaking up now | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
and moving further north, and that should clear the region in the next | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
few hours. Some sunshine further east. As bigger through the rest of | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
the evening, most places drx out. Highlights for this weekend, wet on | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
Saturday, dryer on Sunday, `nd then a little bit of uncertainty into | :25:23. | :25:25. | |

Temperatures, around ten or 11 at the lowest, and that will bd a light | :25:52. | :25:55. | |

tomorrow, this band of rain slowly makes his way from south to north | :25:58. | :26:03. | |

Particularly, across central and Particularly, across central and | :26:09. | :26:10. | |

showers become slow`moving `nd continue into Saturday evenhng. | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
There could be one or two hdavy ones around, with rumbles of thunder as | :26:42. | :26:45. | |

pressure moves away, bringing some drier weather with sunshine for the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
end of the weekend. We will see on Monday a new area of low prdssure | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
moving up into our direction, giving us the chance of some rain loving in | :27:01. | :27:05. | |

but rain for just about everybody by Tuesday. Overnight lows, prdtty | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
mild, and quite blustery, particularly on Saturday. | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
