Hello and welcome to Friday's Look East. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Millions of pounds for roads in Northamptonshire, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
with local supporters celebrating money for a new bypass | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
It is the best part of 50 years that we have been trying to get something | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
done about it. But will 500 new council | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
houses make a difference As Cambridgeshire gears up | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
for mayoral elections, we check out the powers | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
and the limits of the mayor of Heidelberg - Cambridge's | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
twin city in Germany. And we will be going back in time | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
year that the Milton Keynes Museum, as work gets under way on to | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
brand-new galleries. -- on two brand-new galleries. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
First tonight, another boost to this region's infrastructure | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
as more money is announced for Northamptonshire's roads. | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
?3.3 million will fund the widening of the A5 in the south | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
It comes after yesterday's announcement of a share of | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
And campaigners in the north of the county are cautiously hopeful | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
that a new bypass may now be completed after years | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Stuart Ratcliffe is in Isham and joins us now. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Just to give you an idea of geography, Isham is about halfway | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
between getting in that direction and Wellingborough in that | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
direction. Because it links to old Northamptonshire's biggest towns, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
this road is usually very busy. There has been a campaign for 50 | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
years to get a bypass but now that road could be closer than ever. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
The strength of feeling in this village is clear for all to see. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Residents here say that this village has been blighted for far too long | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
and the time has now come for a bypass. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
As part of that battle, Graham has been one of the | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
campaigners who has recorded the traffic levels here. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
He has no doubt about the impact this road has on | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Sleep deprivation, just unpleasantness. | :02:14. | :02:14. | |
Trying to get across this road is difficult. | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
Trying to get out of the side roads is very difficult. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Unless people actually stop, you just sit there for ages | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Today's announcement does not necessarily | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
Today's announcement does not necessarily give the Isham bypass | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
It has already been offered ?50 million. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Today's announcement is a further ?10 million. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
The construction cost is estimated to be at least | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
?38 million, so there is still a ?13 million shortfall and it is not | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
entirely clear where that extra money will come from. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Northants County Council is confident that the shortfall can be | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
found. The county also received more good news today, with ?3.3 million | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
being put towards a scheme to widen the notorious bottleneck on the A5. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
This area need some investment, especially where we allow the | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
present time. Northamptonshire, as probably people now, we are lobbying | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to get more money for transport and things like that. That will come | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
later on, but as far as I am concerned, yes, this is a great | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
achievement. There has been a spate of infrastructure announcements this | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
week. Money was promised to develop plans for Northampton's northern | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
orbital road. Some have called on the Government to deliver more cash | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
for more ambitious road projects. In times of austerity, wriggle room is | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
limited and the Government says that these smaller schemes have the | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
potential to make a big difference. Both today and yesterday's spending | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
announcements are connected A short while ago, our political | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
correspondent Andrew Sinclair told We were saying the other night that | :04:00. | :04:13. | |
with Brexit looming, the Government is putting what little money it has | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
in to developing the parts of the economy it believes have is -- has | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
potential to grow. The likes of Milton Keynes is part of the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Government's engine, which is keen to develop. Cambridge is getting | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
money for infrastructure. This part of the region is in a good place. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Very different to the far east of the region. Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
we had a big road funding announcement today but many parts of | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
the country like the North parts of England, we're getting something | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
like 25- ?30 million to spend on congestion relief. Suffolk and Essex | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
was bottom of the list by a very long way, in contrast. The | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Government is putting a lot of money and a lot of project but never the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
full amount. Are we being short-changed? That is only | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
infrastructure is increasingly built these days. Because it is so | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
expensive, the days that a Government could aptly put down an | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
attire bypass are far disappearing. Now it is all part funding. The | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
Government prisons are money, local councils put in money and altogether | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
the project gets built. The Government amid those money into | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
something beneficial the project will happen. That suggests that that | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
bypass will go ahead pretty soon. A Cambridgeshire man has pleaded | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
guilty to stabbing a man 28-year-old Andrew Hasler suffered | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
multiple chest wounds and died At court today, Matthew Sharpe | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
admitted killing Mr Hasler and attempting to murder | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
a 27-year-old woman The 40-year-old is due to be | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
sentenced next week. A Cambridgeshire firm has been | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
ordered to pay ?100,000 after a 16-year-old boy in its care | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
died on a trip to Norfolk. Umar Balogun from north-east London | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
drowned in an old sand quarry at Bawsey Pits near King's Lynn | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
four years ago. He was cared for at Castle Lodge | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
home for young people. The company - Castle Homes Limited - | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
admitted breaching health Two support workers | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
also faced charges over Next tonight, 500 new council homes | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
for Cambridge to be built over five years using money | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
from the devolution deal between In 1980, there were 14,500 council | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
houses in Cambridge, but that number has fallen | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
to 7,000 this year. There are still around | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
2,000 people waiting And many more needing affordable | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
housing, as Mike Cartwright reports. Cambridge, where homes | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
are being built everywhere but money These flats - just finished - | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
the last social housing We are going in here, | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
number two, are we? Now, 70 million from the Government | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
- money to build more. Part of the deal for | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
choosing to have a Mayor. There was going to be no more | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
building, until we got the ?70 That enables us, then, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
to use our right to buy receipts that we have, | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
some ?20 million over that same period, which effectively gives us | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
?90 million with which to build new, much-needed council | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
housing in Cambridge. Well, it is probably about 50-50 | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
council and privately owned. John, part of a residents' | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
committee working with Since the '80s, having the right | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
to buy your council house halving There are people in the city, people | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
I know or that my daughter knows, who she has grown up with, | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
who have lived in the city, and they have had to leave | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
because they cannot They won't get a council | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
home because there are Flats here in Trumpington will be | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
demolished and the funds paying for more than 50 new council houses | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
to be built here. There will be among 500 | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
going up around the city, but with 2000 families | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
on the waiting list, There is a desperate need | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
for housing within the city and the greater region and I believe | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
that, actually, it It is not in the hundreds, 500s, | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
it is in the thousands. Academics say councillors have moved | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
quickly to benefit from devolution. Well, it is a real bold | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
step and an early step. There is a housing strategy launched | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
in the UK and Cambridge should City Council has taken a very early | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
step, a leading step in providing So, this is really good news | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
for the residents of Cambridge. New homes that for a while will easy | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
pressure in a city where housing And in two months' time, | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Cambridgeshire's first Whoever wins, a range of new powers | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
will lie in the hands It may well be brand new for us, | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
but elsewhere in Europe, it's a form of local government | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
that's been in place for decades. Our political reporter Tom Barton | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
has been to Cambridge's twin city - Heidelberg in Germany - | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
to find out about the powers and Home to an ancient university | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
visited by millions It is easy to see why Heidelberg | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
and Cambridge are twin cities. For now, though, there | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
is one big difference. Key local decisions affecting | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
the city and its surrounding area are taken by a directly elected | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Mayor. It is a very powerful position, | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
and by having such a position, you really can change the city | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
in this or in this direction. If you want an idea of the sorts | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
of things an elected Mayor can It is a brand-new district | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
of new homes and high-tech office space that is being built | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
on derelict railway land. Building here has been pushed | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
through by Heidelberg's elected Mayor and when it is finished, | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
it should bring more than 7000 But there are also limits to | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
what Heidelberg's Mayor can achieve. The current Mayor wanted | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
to build an extension But local people objected, | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
held a referendum and forced This local journalist says | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
that shows how important it is to have checks and balances | :10:53. | :11:05. | |
on the Mayor's power. I think it is very important | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
because the position of the Mayor He is the head of the | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
city administration. It is a powerful complex, | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
and he is the only one in Heidelberg So, what of the man | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
who holds that power? At Heidelberg's City Hall, | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
I met up with the current Mayor. He is very clear that the city | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
benefits from having Think about a position | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
like my position, you can change. Otherwise, you have lots | :11:39. | :11:50. | |
of political debate - Today, you have to react | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
faster than in the past. While the idea of an elected Mayor | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
might be new to Cambridge, it is a common form of local | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
government elsewhere in Europe. And that means that whoever | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
wins May's election, there is lots to be learned | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
from the experience And you can see more on that | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
on the Sunday Politics this A new ?11 million engineering school | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
has opened at Harlow College. The advanced manufacturing | :12:21. | :12:27. | |

academies in the county, including the Ruskin Academy | :12:45. | :12:47. | |

to stop their funding. Stay with us for the weekend weather | :12:50. | :13:02. | |

who transformed the great wall Now you probably think | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
the words Milton Keynes It's only 50 years old and was | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
formed out of a collection of villages on the edge | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
of Buckinghamshire. But before its American-style | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
grid roads were built, Today, the story of Milton Keynes | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
is told in the town's museum and, thanks to a local fund-raising | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
campaign, the museum is being expanded to explain | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
to visitors why the area A founder member of the original | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
Milton Keynes Museum laying the foundations for an ambitious | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
expansion project. This site is soon to become home | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
to two brand-new galleries which combined with the current museum | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
will tell the full story The curves are quite | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
unique, it's not easy to get curved | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
steel but, yeah, it's different and the way | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
that the building works is sort of we call it | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
a ying and yang because you've got two pictures going either way and | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
that is to reflect the kind of... To give the museum | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
this one side being an ancient gallery, one side | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
being a modern gallery. At the moment, the exhibits | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
here range from the mid-1800s through to the 1980s | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
but that is soon to change. The new modern gallery | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
will focus on more While visitors will also be able | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
to travel further back The agent gallery will span | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
prehistoric times, the Bronze Age through to | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
the War of the Roses. Meanwhile, the modern gallery | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
will focus on the creation of the It has taken four to five | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
years to get to this stage, very much working | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
in partnership with the museum and our builders, Willmott | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Dixon, very exciting. And in our 50th year as well, | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
we are starting something that is a real ground-breaking attraction | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
for Milton Keynes into the future. The project is costing ?7.2 million | :15:18. | :15:29. | |
but only enough cash has been raised to complete the | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
buildings themselves. We still need about a million, | :15:33. | :15:33. | |
1.5 million to raise the whole standards throughout | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
the museum and to complete the new Milton Keynes gallery | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
and that is our unique story in a way and people could say, | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
I think, that Milton Keynes has been the most successful | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
new town in the country. This museum already | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
manages to bring history But there will be even more | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
to enjoy from April 2019. Kate Bradbrook, BBC Look East, | :15:51. | :15:54. | |

News tonight. The Norwich city double manager Alex Neil has been | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
sacked, it follows a decision by the board. Robb, a press conference this | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
morning. He looked as if he was full of plans for the future. He did. It | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
is strange, he was talking about what he was going to do in the | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
summer, the players he was going to keep and get rid of, the fact it was | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
not going to be overnight that he was going to get this turned around. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Four hours later, it comes up on the club's tweets that he has been | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
sacked. Some would say it is a disrespectful way to treat a man who | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
has taken the club to Wembley, he has struggled, with lots of fans | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
want him to leave the club. The club have let him do the press and then | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
suddenly said you are out. Do you think this was a late decision all | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
he had no idea? For five weeks ago when the board came out with their | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
unanimous support, and now they have agreed to get rid of Alex Neil. I | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
think the last five matches or so, they have been on this run without a | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
victory. Having just got back into play-off contention, it feels like a | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
watershed moment and Tuesday, a one all draw against a lowly side in | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Bristol city, that was a defining point. As Rob said, it does seem a | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
little bit unfair because they absolutely backed him and it seemed | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
like hanging a hat on him to lead them forward. | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
The thing is there will be a lot of fans who will be very pleased at | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
this news. There will be. We will be back on canary call tomorrow night. | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
There were lots of fans are the grad who wanted him to go. The timing is | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
strange because the season is now over, it does not look like they | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
will make the players, nine points off it. Had they done this the grey | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
earlier this season, a new man could've in. Do they have somebody | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
in mind to? I honestly don't know. The Roy Hodgson link is there, | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
perhaps he's looking for a job. I can't see him coming down to the | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
championship. Mark Warburton is a man who was sacked recently, he was | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
interviewed before Alex Neil so he is on the radar. Gary is the other | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
name, well-known to Cambridge United fans. They have nosedived since | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
then. He's available, here's a good championship manager but it is just | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
too late. This season could have been rescued but have left it. Thank | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
you very much. There has been quite a reaction on | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
twitter. Robbie has some of them now. There has been lots of reaction | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
on social media. I have spoken to you in Roberts, the foremost Norwich | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
city striker, he said he surprised the club has done it after today's | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
press conference. When asked who we thought the replacement would be, he | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
said he had no idea. Jake Humphreys has tweeted Alex Neil has gone. Fan | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
sites, they treated today, finally the board have listened to the fans | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
and made a smart decision to sack Neal. Let's move on. Other fancied | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
the timing is strange again. The last two seconds when we have been | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
down and out of the play-offs. Another fan said, another board | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
decision to take -- taken too late after our season is over. Let's hope | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
the next reason is better. Another fan said he would like to thank Alex | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Neil foreign or sums are six months but what followed was not up to | :19:39. | :19:50. | |
standard. -- awesome. Are you surprised? I'm surprised by | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
the timing of it. He said he was preparing for the summer. I'm | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
surprised by that, I'm surprised at the timing, that is it happen now | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
rather than it did before. He managed to turn things around for a | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
couple of games but when this type of things happen, you will have | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
another poor run at some point and another one has come again quite | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
quickly. I think the board had no the decision to make than the one | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
they did. Even though they banked him, they had gone very quiet but | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
two weeks, we have not had much from inside the football club down but | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
now they have made that big decision, the right decision in my | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
opinion. They could not have gone into next season hoping that he was | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
going to turn things around because one game in, to gain thing, if you | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
don't get the right results, it starts again. They have made the | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
right decision, perhaps a little bit too late. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
He was talking about spending a lot of money this summer, have they | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
stopped him sue the right person spends the money? It is about that. | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
It is easy to say that he wants changes in the summer but football | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
has changed. It is not easy to get the players in and out any more. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
High earners who are not playing at the moment, however going to shift | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
them on? The only way to get their reaction from a new group of players | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
is from a new manager. To come in and take those new players build | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
things slowly over the coming years. I think that is where they are going | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
to go with it because there is no way he could gone into the summer, | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
made whole the changes because it is not possible in football any more. | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
He would you like to see coming? Darter who would you like to see | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
come in? I don't think there are a lot of contenders that at the | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
moment. Gary, I played with him at Leicester. A true kind of | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
traditional pro. But then -- a defender. He is available on the | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
market and stock is going up all the time. He will be snapped up before | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
long. Perhaps he is someone that would fit the criteria of Norwich. | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Darren, we are very grateful for you joining us this evening. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
There is more coverage on that story on BBC radio Norfolk. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
A Chinese artist has flown nearly 6000 miles to transform | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
Zhang Enli from Shanghai was given the commission to cover | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
the wall which is part of the Firstsite arts complex. | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
The wall is 150 yards long it's curved and white. | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
A cherry picker in an art gallery, not all that unusual perhaps but | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
when you are putting an artist in it and he's | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
going to paint trees on the | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
Zhang Enli is a superstar in China, think Banksy or Damien Hirst in | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
He's here for an exhibition of his work at the Firstsite Gallery | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
which includes this space painting of a forest. | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
It's really exciting because normally we | :22:55. | :22:55. | |
see the finished object, we see a painting on the wall | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
and that comes in from Germany or somewhere | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
fantastic but actually we have been able to see this whole work from | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
start to finish growing in front of our eyes. | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
It literally has grown all over the walls. | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
Interviewing Zhang Enli isn't exactly a walk in the | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
forest, he speaks very little English, his wife translates and | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
together, they seem to be suggesting that the space painting was very | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Actually, the space painting, it's kind of like the oldest in a way, | :23:16. | :23:32. | |
like the painting on the wall, like the older way | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
It's really hard to give you a sense of the scale | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
of this thing but it is | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
140 metres long and it took Zhang Enli ten days to complete. | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
There are other paintings in this exhibition | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
but for me, the forest is the star of the show. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
He painted it in watercolour, at speed, with great | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
There must've been an element of risk yeah, absolutely. | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
Yes, totally, totally risky thing to do. | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
But that is working with artists, you kind of put your faith in | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
And we knew the direction that he would go in but you never know | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
the finished result and I think that is really important actually | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
The Zhang Enli exhibition is free and is on | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
It is then that the forest will be painted over and | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
Mike Liggins, BBC Look East, Colchester. | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
They are going to paint over it! I am gutted, I think it looks great. | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
They are going to paint over it. I think Mike was surprised at the | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
cherry picker. We want to know what the weather is going to be like this | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
weekend. Have you got good news for us? | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
I will start with some pictures. The sunrise. I finally, I must confess I | :25:09. | :25:20. | |
am envious of this view. This afternoon, there have been quite a | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
lot of cloud Iran, the best of the breaks in the east. The thicker | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
cloud in the west reduced a little bit of rain but for most of us, it | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
has been a dry day. I think we will have a bit of rain overnight but for | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
most of us it will be dry, quite cloudy and I think turning quite | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
misty in places. Perhaps an odd bug patch as well an incredibly mild. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
Temperatures rising from about ten to seven Celsius. These are what we | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
should see as high as in the day. The wind on the light side in the | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
south. Tomorrow, this weather front stays up to the west. High pressure | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
just hanging on in the east and it is not looking bad day. The Mr fog | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
to start the day and then it should and then as drier air starts to feed | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
from the south, it should help break the cloud up and we should see some | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
decent sunny spells developing. Temperatures away from the coast, | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
and onshore breeze, inland around 14 to 15 Celsius. In the best of the | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
sunshine, we could see as high 18 Celsius. Light winds between the | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
south-west and the south-east it will feel very pleasant in the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
sunshine. I think many of us will have some to finish the day before | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
it gets dark. A very different story on Sunday. There's a huge amount of | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
uncertainty as to how quickly these weather fronts are going to move on. | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
That affects whether we are going to see the rain. At the moment, I think | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
the further east you are, a fine and dry start. The further west, some | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
wet weather and then the rain will spread eastwards and summer that | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
could be on the heavy side. The west will eventually hopefully see some | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
drier and brighter conditions. It is this a situation we are watching | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
closely because it depends how quickly those weather fronts moving | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
and move. That is the weekend, Saturday looking the better of the | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
two days at the moment. The beginning of next week, Monday and | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
Tuesday, high pressure in charge. Fine and dry with some sunny spells. | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
A fresh appeal to things on Monday as the winds swing round to the | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
north-west, dragging in Calder Atlanta again. Tuesday, the winds | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
background to the south west so it's starting to climb again tempered a | :27:32. | :27:40. | |
wise. Do the clocks change next weekend? It is usually late | :27:41. | :27:55. | |
So, like, you get sponsored to swap clothes with somebody for a day. | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, I don't get that. So, maybe... | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
I don't get that. ..you wear your mother's clothes? | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
I don't get it. What does she wear? No, no, she wears someone else's. | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
OK, I don't get that, it's too complicated. Do another one. | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
So, like, you get sponsored to let people lick stuff | :28:12. | :28:13. | |
No, but, like, you get these flavoured... Cool, yeah. | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
Not going to happen. Peanut butter. Do another one. | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
