A reminder of the day's main story... The | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Our headlines this Wednesday evening: Murdered for her millions - | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
a jury finds Ian Stewart guilty of killing his partner: | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
She is somebody who is narcissistic and thinks only of himself and is | :00:12. | :00:25. | |
particularly wicked not only to kill the woman he is said to have lot but | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
then dumped her body. -- said to have loft. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Tonight friends and neighbours pay tribute to Helen, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
describing her as witty, bright and honest. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Also ahead - who will pick our crops? | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Farmers raise fears of food shortages amid | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
I spent the day with the bird recorder whose job it is to log all | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
of the county's birds. First tonight, police | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
described him as Ian Stewart has been found guilty | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
of killing the Royston author Helen Bailey, | :00:57. | :01:09. | |
hiding her body under the garage of their home, | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
and deceiving everyone into thinking Mike Cartwright has been | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
following the trial at St Albans Crown Court and joins | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
us live from there now. Ian Stewart showed no emotion when | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
he heard he had been found guilty of murder. He shook his head for the | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
verdicts of fraud and perverting the course of justice. After six weeks | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
of evidence was found guilty on all charges after just six hours with | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the judge praising them for their involvement in what he called a | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
difficult and troublesome case. Anything you do say may | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
be given in evidence. Arrested early in the morning | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
in his dressing down, Ian Stewart slumped onto the stairs | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
in the home he shared Police cameras picked | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
up his questions. Getting up, after looking out | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
of the window, this question. The garage where three months before | :02:01. | :02:12. | |
he had had dumped Helen Sedated, suffocated, | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
possibly still alive, Ian Stewart dropped her and Boris, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
her much-loved dog, down inside. At their home officers questioned | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
him about the day Helen disappeared. He is a wicked and cynical man. You | :02:24. | :02:45. | |
lied to us, his own family of Helen Bailey's family about the enquiry | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
and that made it very challenging for us. I do not know if he's a | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
psychopath, he is certainly thinks only of himself and is wicked, not | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
only to kill the woman he is said to have loft, but the dumped his body | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
as well. he killed her and tried | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
to cover his tracks. On the 11th of April last year | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
Ian Stewart smothered Helen Bailey somewhere in their Royston home | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
sometime before 2:30pm. That afternoon at the | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
rubbish tip this CCTV. He dumped the duvet used, | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
it is thought, to move her body. Ian Stewart getting into his car | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
after buying a takeaway just hours I don't know whether | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
he is a psychopath. I think he is a narcissist, I think | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
he thinks very much of himself, Four days after killing her, | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Ian Stewart called the police to say she had gone missing and had | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
left a note. My partner has been missing | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
since Monday and she has She hasn't ended up where | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
she said she was going. She said in the note, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
something like, I need His defence - two mystery men, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Joe and Nick, who kidnapped But his side of the story | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
was as fictitious as one Ian Stewart's two sons and his | :04:18. | :04:33. | |
brother left court silent. The sentence will be tomorrow. His two | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
sons did not look at the father during the verdict. In a statement | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Helen Bailey's family said, there can be no celebrations. The shadow | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
of loss has been cast over the hearts of many. The challenging -- | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
the police describe this as a challenging investigation and they | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
said they will look into the death of Diane Stewart, Ian Stewart's | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
first wife. She died suddenly of natural causes in 2010. Police say | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
it is right and proper to consider Ian Stewart's past and they will do | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
that with the help of Cambridgeshire's coroner. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
While the court in St Albans has been hearing about | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Ian Stewart's deadly plot, it's Helen who's been | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
The author had only moved to Royston a few years ago, but neighbours soon | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Anna Todd has been speaking to some of them about their memories | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
of the much-loved children's author. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Described as witty, bright, honest and real Helen Bailey live | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Her world fell apart after her husband of 23 years | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
But within a year, despite much angst and soul-searching, | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
she fell for widower Ian Stewart, he made her happy. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
He ticked the boxes that were necessary for Helen. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
He loved dogs he was a good dad, he was funny, he was considerate | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Was there anything about him that suggested something was amiss | :05:55. | :06:08. | |
And Helen would have picked up on that. | :06:09. | :06:22. | |
Helen left her beloved London in the summer of 2013 and moved | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
to Royston with Ian Stewart and his two sons. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
She used to walk her little dog, Boris, here on Royston Heath | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
and she ingratiated herself with the neighbours, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
hosting Christmas parties with champagne and cake. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Helen Bailey became a much loved and then very much missed member | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
They lived at Hartwell Lodge, where Helen continued | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
to work on Planet Grief, book she had started | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
It helped her and hundreds of others. | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
you to my new book, which is called When Bad Things Happen | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
Subtitled Life After Death And A Dog Called Boris. | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
I'm going to try and get Boris to get in shot now. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Helen Cox frequently wrote about Ian Stewart in her blog, | :07:18. | :07:37. | |
referring to him as the GGHW - gorgeous grey-haired widower. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
She muses about their lives together but she also writes about her fear | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
of losing Ian and how happiness can be taken away in an instant. | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
But the gorgeous grey-haired widower killed her and her beloved dog. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Helen, I'm missing you more than I ever thought possible. | :07:53. | :08:06. | |
Please come back safe and sound from wherever you are. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
I didn't know what to think, or where she was. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
And I still find it very hard to talk about. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
A family friend of Ian Stewart of his late wife, Diana, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
told me he had seemed depressed over many years but at a recent | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
party with Helen he said he was a different man. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
His friends say the man described in court was not | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
the person they knew, but neighbours say they now have | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
And I do not think it is ever going to go away. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
I think we've got to live with it all the time we're here. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
The Hartwell Lodge has always been a very happy home, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
always full of laughter and that is somehow how I'm hoping | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
that we can put a positive side and remember Helen in the time | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Knowing what you know now, how do you feel about Ian Stewart? | :09:03. | :09:14. | |
Words can't convey what I feel about him. | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
I look at her house and the garage where she was found every day | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
and instead of seeing Helen like I used to see, knowing | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
that she had finished writing and went to bed at night, | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
I now just have these awful memories of what has happened | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
to her and I do not know, what do you say? | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Helen Bailey was a woman on the cusp of her happy ending. | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
Ian Stewart betrayed her love and trust. | :09:48. | :10:00. | |
So what drives an outwardly loving and loyal fiance | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Earlier I spoke to Dr Samantha Lundrigan, | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
a criminal psychologist at Anglia Ruskin University, | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
and asked if this kind of partner killing is particularly rare. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
It is quite unusual in that what we have here is not a murder | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
in the context of an explosive domestic abuse situation, | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
but a very premeditated and planned instrumental crime where in fact | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
the murder was kind of instrumental or incidental to the goal, | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
which it seems, to all intents and purposes, to have | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Police have also suggested he may have preyed upon Helen Bailey | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
from the beginning, knowing she was successful. | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
It is within the realms of possibility he could have | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
targeted Helen through the website he met her through which was | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
around widowed people, which is a time of vulnerability. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Perhaps he convinced himself he was this loving partner | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
who wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Police described him a narcissistic and selfish. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Obviously being after someone's money is a selfish act, | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
but what more will they mean by that term narcissistic? | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Well, right from the start it is clear there was only one | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
person that mattered in this, from of the investigation starting, | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
There was no regard for his victim, his victim's family, his own family, | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
other people involved, right the way up until today | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
when the verdict came out, Stewart was claiming to be innocent. | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
And giving us this elaborate story that it was somebody else's | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
fault and with no regard for anybody else's killings. | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
Is there a possibility he believed it, he was deluded, | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
He may have convinced himself, while knowing full well | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
what he was doing, he may well have become quite comfortable with that | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
role he was playing but I think there is no doubt that | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
that was a role, he knew it was a role and it was a role | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
he needed to play to try and get away with this murder. | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
In fact, he did not play it very well and he made endless | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
mistakes as he went through, in terms of trying to go | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
undetected, and the result of that is this verdict. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Lots of people wonder why did he kill her dog? | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
It was tiny, it was no threat to him. | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
Again, it was about destroying probably | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
I think it was reported she never went anywhere without her dog, | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
so it would have been very difficult, or more difficult | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
to explain, why she wasn't around if the dog had been there. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
What will he be thinking now he has been found out, found guilty? | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
I wonder if he may actually be thinking he is the victim. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
The role he was playing in this, he has convinced himself in some | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
ways he may have been entitled to that money and even though | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
he created the story and ruse to get away with it, | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
actually, it is not fair he did not, and actually he is the victim. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
I know in court today there was a bit of the shake | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
of the head when the verdict was read out. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Again, that does not strike me as someone filled with remorse | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
and regret for what they have done but, again, only Ian Stewart | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Dr Samantha Lundrigan speaking to me earlier. | :13:34. | :13:55. | |
But we're moving on now - and a warning that the region's | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
farmers could struggle to produce enough food - if Brexit leads | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
to a shortage of workers from the continent. | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
Today landowners and farmers have been to Westminster, | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
urging MPs to make immediate guarantees to safeguard | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
He really the only temperature farm but this man is hard at work. He is | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
one of eight eastern Europeans employed permanently while many more | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
joy in the summer months but Brexit may change that. -- join them. The | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
pound is going down and I do not know how much exactly but I know it | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
is going down. The same amount of work means less money. Robert Smith | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
Farms 3000 acres and his crops such as potatoes and onions, are sold to | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
big retailers. The industry is already struggling to recruit in | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
this country and teams of seasonal migrant labourers are vital. He is | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
already considering other options, just in case they stop coming. It's | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
worries us and I do believe we have got to invest in new technology and | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
in particular agriculture to make us more labour-saving and the use of | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
robotics in the field and in our warehouse is. The Government today | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
was asked for confirmation about the status of permanent and temporary | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
foreign workers. The representatives of farmers and rural businesses said | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
they are critical to the industry's success and wants the Government to | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
take note given current recruitment problems. Given that we are already | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
seeing and have evidence through our surveys we are seeing a shortfall in | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
people wanting to come here. That was exacerbated after the referendum | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
with the exchange rate and people feeling less welcome. That ask has | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
been in for some time now and we really need an answer. A Government | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
spokesman said supporting farmers will form an important part of our | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
exit from the EU and the Prime Minister says she wants to protect | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
the status of EU nationals already here. He remains positive and said | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
he has a good life and hopes to continue his farming debris in | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
Britain. Well, Cambridgeshire farmer | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
Tim Breitmeyer is Deputy President of the Country Land | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
and Business Association - and was I asked how bad the labour shortage | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
is across the region. Dick Pound has devalued and | :16:19. | :16:34. | |
alongside fast. -- the pound has devalued and that is the view with | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
some eastern European they are not so welcome here any longer because | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
of Brexit and that has put pressure on the number of migrant workers who | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
really want to come and do the seasonal work required on farms. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
What have you been asking of the Government and where you reassured? | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
We have been asking the select committee, rather than Government, | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
we definitely do need this seasonal supply of labour from Europe and we | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
also need a seasonal agricultural workers scheme was used to exist for | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
Mac user, which will give us global access to labour, also as the | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Eastern Europeans coming in. If this is not resolved what will happen to | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
the farming industry in a region? I think it can be resolved but if not | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
inevitably farmers will have to look at their output. I do not suggest | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
there will be food shortages but we might have to import more whereas in | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
the past domestic production has provided that supply. Long-term, we | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
must acknowledge some of those businesses will already be doing | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
strategic planning to decide if they can afford to have the business | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
still in the UK. This might sound a silly question, but why can't native | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
workers do these jobs, we keep hearing unemployment is up. In | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
Cambridge itself we have probably only 250 people on the unemployment | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
register so there is a very small number of people available to work | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
in the first place. We also have to accept the fact the aspirations of | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
many people in our society is they should have a college education, go | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
into media, technology, financial services, and perhaps because of not | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
so many people understanding the rural countryside any more they do | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
not see a job in agriculture as necessary that necessarily their | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
career path, and neither do their parents, actually. -- do not see it | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
as their career path. The opening of the beauty's largest | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
school conversion project has been delayed for another year. -- of the | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
nation's. It was due to open as Northampton International Academy in | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
September but completion has been delayed 12 month due to technical | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
problems. Pupils will be taught in temporary accommodation for one more | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
year. It is expected to cost ?30 million and a commonly 2000 pupils. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
-- and accommodate 2000 pupils. Later, we will meet the board man of | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
Northamptonshire keeping track of the region's birds. | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
-- bird man. Tomorrow the focus is on storm Doris which has the | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
potential to bring damaging gusts of wind in the afternoon. All the | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
detail later. The eyes of the Formula One world | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
were on Silverstone today for the launch of Force India's | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
new car for 2017. The team, who are based | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
near the Northamptonshire circuit, finished fourth in the Constructors | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
championship last season. Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
was there to see it unveiled I am at the factory | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
in Silverstone where they spent all winter | :19:53. | :20:06. | |
working on the new car. They hope it will propel them up | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
the Formula 1 grid next season. It is not this one, | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
the real one will be unveiled a few hundred | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
yards over there. Launches are special, | :20:18. | :20:18. | |
a lot of hard work for the So it is the big occasion | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
to reveal the car today. Formula 1's version of sleeping | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
beauty in front of a room full of journalists, photographers and | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
sponsors, waiting for Force India's Who do you represent? I appear with | :20:32. | :20:46. | |
a press agency. We came here especially for the French market. We | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
have a French driver and his very first season. The unveiling season | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
is in full flow. This is the man who picks up the bills, Force India's | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
over. Mind you, he is a billionaire. How much of a buzz do you personally | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
get the witness is your team, your car and the drivers are paid by do, | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
to? -- this is your team. I got into Formula 1 because I am a racing man | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
myself so the adrenaline is always very high. Very exciting. Several | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
teams finished above Force India last season in the constructor's | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
championship. The handed -- the added regular Frenchman to the | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
line-up as well as hanging onto an experienced Mexican. But every part | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
of this VJM10 is brand-new and with the new Formula 1 rule changes it is | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
faster due to better aerodynamics. It has expires, bigger bodywork, so | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
I am looking forward to driving this big machine. -- big tyres. It will | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
be very demanding, physically, mentally and the drivers will be | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
stretched to the maximum. How quick will it be, that is the real test. | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
We will find it -- find out in about a month when the Formula 1 season | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
starts in Australia. It's part of a national programme | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
to create an archive of bird populations and how | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
they change over time. In Northamptonshire, | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
their bird recorder is retiring, and the search is now | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
on to find a replacement. Our reporter Stuart Ratcliffe | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
has been to Wollaston near Wellingborough to meet | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
Northamptonshire's In sun, snow or rain, | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
but mostly rain. He is waiting, watching and | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
recording Northamptonshire's birds. It is a great job because of all | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
this information coming and we are able to monitor bird | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
population dynamics and also how things change with different | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
species and it also helps look at different habitat | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
types and which areas He is at a nature reserve today | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
where the great white And in the ten years in this job | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
he has seen many changes. The corn bunting used to be a very | :23:12. | :23:21. | |
common site here and it has declined dramatically and nationwide we have | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
seen a decline of about 86% and we have only had three records | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
in Northamptonshire this year. The county has also | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
seen many successes, We reintroduced the red | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
kites to Northamptonshire We were part of a pilot scheme, | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
one of five sites in the country, It is difficult to go somewhere | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
and not see one now. Why you think it has | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
been so successful? The habitat requirements for them | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
have been fully met here. They like mixed countryside | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
with open woodlands, also agricultural land, | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
areas where they can get in and feed because they are phenomenal | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
scavengers and they will They are not the sort of bird that | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
a lot of people think, they do not prey heavily | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
on other species of bird but they do like carrion, | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
pulling up worms, they are happy His predecessor was the county | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
recorder for 20 years and says it is a job with a very | :24:30. | :24:39. | |
specific skill set. You have got to be very keen | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
on birds, quite a good communicator because you have to get | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
on with the other birders and you encourage them to send | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
you their records so they can be used for whatever means | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
you want to use them for. If you do not mind the rain, | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
have an eye for not only birds but also spreadsheets, | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
this could well be the job for you. Not a great day out | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
there for bird recording. Hello. There will be some lively | :25:15. | :25:33. | |
weather conditions for the next 24 hours or so. Relatively calm at the | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
moment and much cloudier today than yesterday. This photograph taken in | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Hertfordshire and another one in Northamptonshire on the wing -- | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
showing the thick cloud. We can expect an evening that is rather | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
cloudy with further rain, some on the heavy side. Likely to persist in | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
the evening and overnight and the wind picks up during the night was a | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
noticeable breeze by the end of the night, but still relatively mild. | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
Tomorrow's the focus is on Storm Doris, this deepening area of low | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
pressure bringing some disruption to this part of the country as the Met | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
office have issued an amber warning for many counties in the region for | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
strong winds which could reach 60-70 mph during the afternoon rush hour. | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
Some rain associated with this low pressure, some dryer into a good | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
spot by lunchtime the wind starting to increase -- dryer interludes. The | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
wind that should peak at around 3pm. It is from 3pm on what we're there | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
could be some damaging gusts -- 3pm onwards. This proved -- could | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
produce problems for transport. On the coast it could reach 80 mph. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
Quite short lived but the potential for disruption if they are so stay | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
tuned to the forecast. It calms down somewhat by Friday. Eight, and | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
called the with some sunny spells and then some slightly milder air | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
but the conditions for the weekend. The focus is on tomorrow and Storm | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Doris. Our top story, Ian Stewart is found | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
guilty of killing his partner, Helen Bailey, and hiding her body under | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
the Royston home. That is all from us now. Join us | :27:36. | :27:41. | |

Good job, guys. We totally nailed it. | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
