In the programme tonight: Tougher penalties for drivers | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
But not tough enough for a man who survived a multiple crash that | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
There's strong evidence to suggest the destruction caused by a phone is | :00:11. | :00:24. | |
equal to or more than the impairment caused by alcohol. I see no reason | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
at all whether punishment should not be on as well. | :00:28. | :00:28. | |
Councils struggle to offer all pupils their first choice | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
of secondary school, with rising student numbers | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
The two-day-old babies having innovative hearing tests | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
I am here in Luton town as Oxford take | :00:38. | :00:56. | |
Road safety campaigners in this region have welcomed tougher | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
But say penalties could go even further. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
This comes despite three of our police forces | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
number of motorists caught with a phone at the wheel. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
people were pulled over in Cambridgeshire, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Campaigners say that's not good enough. | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
nicknamed Smiler, seven-year-old Seth Dixon was a happy boy, he loved | :01:30. | :01:44. | |
singing and dancing and his mum Alice. In December 2014 she asked | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
him to post a letter across the road. He was hit by a car and died | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
two weeks later. There's nothing to compare it to. You just can't | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
believe it's happening. You can't believe... This is real. It's awful. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
You just want to scoop him up and shake him and say no, come back to | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
life. There must be something you can do. But there isn't. The driver | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
of the car that hit Seth was talking hands-free on her mobile phone. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Since then, Alice has campaigned for a total ban on using phones while | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
driving. Today saw the launch of tougher new laws, six points instead | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
of three and a ?200 fine. New drivers caught within two years of | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
passing the test would have their licence revoked but Alice says | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
that's not enough to change attitudes. It's about the message. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
The message is not, the message most people are taking from this is, if I | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
am distracted and have an accident, I will get fined. A lot of people | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
are saying to me, that means that if I am not a person who gets | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
distracted by making a phone call, I will not have an accident and will | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
not get fined. Adam Pearson from Milton Keynes was seriously injured | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
when a lorry smashed into the back of his stationary car at 50 mph, a | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
mother and three children in another car what all killed .- camera | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
footage showed the lorry driver changing music on his phone for at | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
least eight seconds before the smash. There is very strong evidence | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
to suggest the destruction caused by a phone is at least equal to or more | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
than that the impairment caused by alcohol. I see no reason why the | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
punishment should not be on part as well. This new HTV cabin will give | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
officers a better vantage point in catching offenders at the wheel of | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
larger vehicles. They say mobile phone use is the modern problem | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
facing the law enforcers. Back in the 70s, people were not wearing | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
seat belts, so we made it an sociable for people not to wear | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
them. Then we moved on to drink-driving, now we are in the era | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
of social media and Facebook etc. People are using their mobile phones | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
more. Seth's mum Alice says she will continue her campaign. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
The Chief Executive of the Road Victims Trust. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
It's a charity based in Bedford which supports victims | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
I asked him how much of a deterrent these new penalties | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
I don't think it will stop people completely. Unfortunately what we | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
have is a culture that people think it is OK to be on the phone while | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
driving. The answer to this ultimately will be a holistic | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
approach, that's around enforcement and education. It's about awareness | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
and culture, people thinking they should not be on their phones when | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
they're doing something as convex as driving and recognising the true | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
danger that the causes. How do you make something like using your phone | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
behind the wheel socially unacceptable? It is socially | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
unacceptable, entirely inappropriate and poor behaviour. I think what | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
happens around education and awareness and enforcement, is that | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
the message does get through. It does not get their overnight, you | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
only have to look at other changes that have occurred around | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
legislation. Think of drink-driving compared with how people view it | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
now. The actual legislation, increased deterrence and penalties, | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
we'll get through to people and hopefully that will start to change | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
people's minds. This is all about catching people using their phones | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
while on the road. How confident are you that the police have enough | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
resources to do so. I do not think the legislation changes all about | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
catching people, the enforcement element is. You would have too asked | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
the police about that. They have lots of priorities, they do a very | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
difficult job and I think they do it well. That's the enforcement part, | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
this is also about education. You work with victims of road traffic | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
accidents, what more would you like to be seen them? The charity I work | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
with, we support people whose lives have been devastated by Rose death. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
The provision of support of that type of support, emotional and | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
practical via counselling, via help and people being there, that's not | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
available across the UK as a whole. I am to operate in counties where it | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
does operate, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. We know what we can | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
provide, supported by the police, can make a real difference. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
It's been a nail-biting day for parents, waiting | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
And many will have been disappointed with rising | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
populations and in places, a shortage of school places. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Some councils are struggling to provide every child | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
In Cambridgeshire nearly 93% of pupils received a place | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
But in Milton Keynes that figure drops | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
to just below 85% and in Hertfordshire it's below 79%. | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
If you're a parent of a year six child, the chances are today has | :07:07. | :07:19. | |
been a stressful one. Not least in Hertfordshire. I know I'm not | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
getting my results were another couple of hours, but it is | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
nerve-racking. Worrying time. My daughter who started at secondary | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
school last year when bit of an ordeal, we applied for four schools | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
and we were given an unranked school, which means a school that we | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
hadn't chosen. It was upsetting and daunting. The demand for school | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
places has never been higher. Particularly in Northamptonshire. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
This is what park free school, it opens in September last year in an | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
attempt to reduce the scramble for places. We've had a huge amount of | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
interest, we are oversubscribed now for year seven next year. Numbers | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
are strong. There is a demand from the people to have a local school | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
that is delivering a high quality education. We will grow year-on-year | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
until we are 1260 in total. Making sure we offer that quality education | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
that young people in this area deserve. As the county council | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
knows, it needs many more schools just like this one. They weren't | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
able to tweak to us today, but in the past they have told us that the | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
County's booming population is creating unprecedented demand for | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
school places. By 2020, Northamptonshire will need an extra | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
25 primary schools and an extra six secondary schools. Such is the | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
pressure to find out if school choices have been successful, the | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
county council's website crash this morning. Thousands of parents logged | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
on. Prompting this apology. We are deeply frustrated | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
but that still leaves Northamptonshire lagging behind. | :08:59. | :09:18. | |
Perhaps this year's School report for the county and several other of | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
our councils could well be improving, but could do better. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
A team which helps to test the hearing of babies who are just | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
a few hours old has been named as best | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
in the region and second best in the country. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Staff at Peterborough City Hospital have made it their mission | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
who want to learn from their success. | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
Little Lottie, just two days old. One of thousands delivered in | :09:47. | :09:58. | |
Peterborough every year. Already she is having a simple, painless test | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
which has become routine. We put a tiny earpiece into her ear, and it | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
makes a clicking, vibrating noise. Down to the middle of the ear. We | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
wait for a response. In years gone by, hearing tests were carried out | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
by health visitors, often months later. Here, they pride themselves | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
on testing most babies before they leave hospital. It's very | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
reassuring. Nice to know everything is good and as it should be. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Peterborough City Hospital has been praised for screening more babies | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
than the national average, despite growing pressures on the health | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
service. There is a reason we are doing so well. It is because the | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
team worked so hard to make sure they don't miss any babies. We have | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
some really important fail-safe processes in place. To make sure | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
every baby is offered a screen. One or two babies in every thousand have | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
some kind of hearing loss, and while it might not be a huge figure, it | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
can have a big impact. By diagnosing babies early, it can reduce problems | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
later in life. One-year-old layer has been wearing a hearing aids and | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
she was just two months old. Her mum says being treated early has made a | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
huge difference. When we got the hearing aids, she completely changed | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
in my eyes. Watching TV, listening to sounds, she didn't even sleep for | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
a whole day. She wanted to listen to everybody, to see everybody, hear | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
the sounds of the TV and the dog. Her brother. At such a young age, | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
the children get fitted with hearing aids, there were no life without it. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
They've always had them. They tend to get used to them a lot quicker. | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
Now hospitals around the country are contacting Peterborough to see how | :12:02. | :12:02. | |
they can help more children. I'll be back with the late | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
bulletin at 1030 this evening. First to Susie for the rest of the | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
programme, plus Julie will be here with a full forecast. | :12:17. | :12:37. | |
These are busy times for the Justice Secretary | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
As the head of the judicial system, she's tackling trouble in prisons, | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
the threat of strikes by staff, and a big new row over | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
She is still trying to mend bridges with judges | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
after being accused of failing to support their independence. | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Today, she appeared before a House of Lords Committee. | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is at Westminster now. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
Because of those problems in our prisons, Liz -- Elizabeth Truss | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
doesn't have much of the chance to talk about her other role as Lord | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Chancellor. Perhaps in an attempt to mend bridges, she said one of her | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
main priorities is to improve morale among judges and make them feel | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
valued. The office of Lord | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
high Chancellor... She is the country's first | :13:37. | :13:37. | |
woman Lord Chancellor. Her job, to defend the rule of law, | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
the independence of the courts and to bang the drum | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
for our judiciary. Our judiciary are independent, | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
incorruptible and world-renowned. Liz Truss was being questioned | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
about her job by members She spoke about the challenge | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
of Brexit, a proposed bill of rights, and reforms to legal aid, | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
but one of her main concerns was about staff | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
morale and the difficulty I have to say, speaking | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
to individual judges, that isn't necessarily reflected | :13:59. | :14:11. | |
in the views of the judiciary themselves, so I think | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
there is a question about how It is a real concern | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
within the profession. According to a recent survey, | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
just 27% of judges feel valued Only 2% feel valued | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
by the government. They regard themselves as not | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
sufficiently respected by the government, perhaps even | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
by the public, and certainly And after a while, they just think, | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
"I don't need this, I don't want to do this job," and it is much | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
more difficult to recruit people for this vitally | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
important public service. When judges were criticised over | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
Brexit, Liz Truss stayed silent, Can we look forward to you and your | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
ministry robustly defending judges against that kind | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
of abuse in future? She said she did support | :15:09. | :15:21. | |
the independence of the judiciary but she also supported the freedom | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
of the press. I think it is dangerous | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
for a government minister to say this is an acceptable headline | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
and this isn't an She said she will look again | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
at the pay of judges, ?180,000 a year, and at working | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
conditions inside courts, but Liz Truss warned | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
it is going to take time Andrew, the Ukip MP for Clacton, | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
Douglas Carswell, insisted today that he's still committed | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
to the party, despite another row with Nigel Farage and calls | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
for him to be expelled. It concerns a revelation that | :15:50. | :15:59. | |
Douglas Carswell refused to lobby ministers to get a knighthood to | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Nigel Farage, not surprising when you consider they don't get on very | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
well. This outraged Nigel Farage who called this week for Douglas | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Carswell to be thrown out of the party. A night of third supporter | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
said he would stand against him in an election and Douglas Carswell was | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
summoned to the party. Douglas Carswell is telling people this | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
evening that he has not come to be thrown out and he still supports | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
Ukip, and that there would not be a by-election because he would just | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
sit as an independent. It is a battle in Ukip about the future | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
direction of the party. People like Douglas Carswell won't the party to | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
be more inclusive, less harsh in his words, and other members want to | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
have harsher policies. Expect him to be in trouble again soon at some | :16:55. | :16:55. | |
stage! In football, Luton Town are just one | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
game away from a Wembley final. Tonight they host Oxford United | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
in the semifinals of Ironically, the Hatters were fined | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
for fielding under-strength sides in the earlier stages | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
of the competition. James Burridge has just sent this | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
from Kenilworth Road. Kenilworth Road, full of | :17:09. | :17:22. | |
expectation. Conditions are damp. There is a huge irony about the | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
semifinal. Because of the finds the club received earlier in the season, | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
5000 actually paid for by the fans. Let's look at the action from the | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
football. Peterborough manager Grant McCann | :17:39. | :17:39. | |
says his side were undone by a lack of concentration as they lost 1-0 | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
at Millwall in League 1. The key moment came when Lee Gregory | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
burst into the box but was tugged back by Posh midfielder Anthony | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
Grant. Gregory picked himself up and scored | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
the spot kick to leave Posh now five MK Dons are steadily improving | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
under Robbie Neilson. They made the running | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
at Valley Parade, twice On loan Stuart O'Keefe put the Dons | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
ahead early on thanks City hit back before | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
Dons regained the lead. George Williams with the cross that | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
somehow found the net. Bantams striker Charlie Wyke denied | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
Dons all three points, though. Nielson happy enough with a draw | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
against a promotion-chasing side. Northampton Town are now looking | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
over their shoulder, The Latics went in front and led | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
for the majority of the match before John-Joe O'Toole brought Sixfields | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
to life late on. Cobblers should have held | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
an but Lee Erwin won it for Oldham. Northampton just four points | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
above the drop zone. In Two, Stevenage were the big | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
winners and into the play-offs on thanks to a 4-1 win over | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
struggling Leyton Orient. Ben Kennedy gave Borough the lead, | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
followed by a second from the penalty spot, | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
Matt Godden with goal Orient then hit back before two more | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
goals lifted Darren Sarll's side into the top seven at the expense | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
of Colchester, who dropped to ninth The Ewes' highlight, Vose smashing | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
a long-range against the post. The Mariners won it though, | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
through Sam Jones, to lead Finally, Cambridge could have | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
shocked leaders Doncaster but Luke Berry blazed | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
his penalty over. Donny then raced into a three-goal | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
lead before George Maris let fly late on with a contender for goal | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
of the season. Berry then made it 3-2 | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
but the Ewes drop to 12th. The difference tonight is that a | :19:13. | :19:27. | |
Wembley final is at stake and Luton Town bring back crowds when Wembley | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
is calling. There was a huge irony about the fact that you were fined | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
for this competition. You must be having that last laugh. We would if | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
we got the prize money! We are grateful to the supporters, | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
particularly the supporters club who covered a lot of the finds. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
Supporters feel quite strongly that the competition was a -- set up to | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
promote young talent and we have a great academy here and young players | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
who need gametime so we decided to play them even though we knew it | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
would attract a fine and they have done great. For you to be mixing it | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
and beating teams has done a lot for Luton Town. It is sometimes like men | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
and boys but our young lads like men as well. We have to give them credit | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
for putting us in the position we are now, just touching Wembley, and | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
they will still be in that process. We will get a crowd of approaching | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
8000 or so, still some tickets available. There is the plug! What | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
about the manager Nathan Jones? How far off are you getting lit and back | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
were -- Luton Town backer they belong? He is keen on making | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
something happen tonight. Nathan is a special coach as well. A real | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
technical coach, and also someone who has a great deal of passion and | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
desire to win the game and it makes him one of us a little bit. We have | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
great ambitions at the football club and Nathan is very much part of | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
that. We will have the result on the West version of the programme | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
tonight. Coffee sales overtook tea back | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
in 1998, but the English Today, one of the region's stately | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
homes put on a tea tasting session The man hosting the event | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
was an official tea master. facade of Audley end. Today Audley | :21:33. | :22:08. | |
End held a celebration of the humble cuppa. The waiter leaves or smells | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
and examined to see if the colour is right and then tasting begins. A | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
nice, ladylike job. This is a key test at work in the 1950s. Today | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
there was a tasting as well. Overseen by a true tea master. Let's | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
go back five founders and -- 5000 years to China when they discovered | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
tea. Stephen Twining represents the tenth generation of the Twining | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
expertise. I asked him about my favourite brew. Are you familiar | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
with the concept of Elder 's -- builders tea? Very strong. I want | :23:03. | :23:14. | |
everyone to have a great cup of tea so if it hasn't been made properly | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
then that is not good. But elders tea -- builders tea will have some | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
big bold elements. And chamomile tempted the fans away from English | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
breakfast. Any that you particularly like? No. I liked the minty on. | :23:34. | :23:43. | |
Chamomile was very delicate and I found the perfume incredible. The | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
range of tea will all be sold in Audley End's Cafe. Mr Twining's | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
advice is switched their cattle off just before it boils. | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
I am with him on builders tea. What about you? | :24:04. | :24:20. | |
No thank you. I could do with a car -- cup of tea right now. | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
Today to start the day in Stowmarket, blue skies and sunshine. | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
Temperatures were generally over 2 degrees above the average. The next | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
photograph is from Essex when there was a bit more cloud but dry skies. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Essex in February was the driest county in the country, only 28.2 | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
millimetres of rain on average, just over an inch for the entire month. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
Today, as this weather front moved towards us, it was one of the few | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
places that saw some rain. Last night I was saying we are uncertain | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
how far north of the rain would spread. For the north of the region | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
it has been tried but I think that will change overnight, most of us | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
will see some rain, some heavy, but it will eventually be confined to | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
more northern parts. We expect the winds to pick up. Even at this | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
point, uncertainty as to when they will be strongest. We expect at the | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
end of the night a fresh to strong west to south-westerly 40-50 mph. | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
Windy Tousart but this should ease away -- to start. The further north | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
you are, wet as well. But it should become dry with some long sunny | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
spells. By the afternoon, the wind should ease down. We finished the | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
day on a drying out with a lot of clear sky and hopefully those winds | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
continuing to ease. On Friday another bit of rain from the South, | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
I think we will have cloud through the day, which could have some rain | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
on the heavy side. The wind will be fresh and blustery on Friday. | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
Saturday, perhaps some early rain which should give way to heavy | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
showers but not for everybody, and showers and longer spells of rain on | :26:34. | :26:34. | |
Sunday. I heard of the programme team cheer | :26:35. | :26:35. | |
when you said Spring! Goodbye. I think my political beliefs are | :26:36. | :27:04. | |
really quite straightforward. I believe that our country needs to | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
work for everyone. Not just for the rich, | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
not just for the privileged, not just for those who know | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
the right people or who've got the loudest voices, but a country | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
that really works for everyone, has the opportunity to be | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
who they want to be. In order to make sure that the | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
country works for everyone, | :27:25. | :27:28. |
