:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, welcome to the first Look East of a new week.

:00:07. > :00:09.?100 million to spend on social housing in Cambridgeshire.

:00:10. > :00:12.But who will benefit most, the cities or the countryside?

:00:13. > :00:14.A murder update as Crimewatch helps in the hunt for the

:00:15. > :00:19.No overtaking - why lorries are being banned from the fast lane

:00:20. > :00:25.And how working dogs trained here are helping

:00:26. > :00:38.keep a watchful eye over Africa's endangered wildlife.

:00:39. > :00:42.First tonight - it's the first day of spring

:00:43. > :00:44.and the dawn of a new political era for Cambridgeshire.

:00:45. > :00:52.The new devolved authority met officially for the first time today

:00:53. > :00:54.in Wisbech, it'll make decisions on transport,

:00:55. > :01:01.This morning it received 100 million pounds in its bank

:01:02. > :01:05.But as Mousumi Bakshi reports, the needs of city dwellers

:01:06. > :01:07.are markedly different to those living in the Fens.

:01:08. > :01:14.Seven years after her search began, Katie Phillips finally has the home

:01:15. > :01:19.Priced out of Cambridge, the mother of two moved

:01:20. > :01:24.into this affordable housing scheme in Caxton near Camborne last month.

:01:25. > :01:29.We went on a list to hopefully get given a house, bid every week, every

:01:30. > :01:33.month, any time we could on anything because we couldn't afford to move

:01:34. > :01:40.out because we were paying so much and private renting.

:01:41. > :01:43.Then after seven years, we got this opportunity

:01:44. > :01:46.and it has been amazing, I just feel so lucky to get given it.

:01:47. > :01:50.Katie lives in South Cambridgeshire, one of the most expensive places in

:01:51. > :01:53.the UK and so it makes sense that devolution money will be

:01:54. > :01:59.But concerns that other parts of the county will

:02:00. > :02:03.We don't just want to build a lot of affordable

:02:04. > :02:04.housing in one place, we

:02:05. > :02:07.want to build the infrastructure that will enable people in key

:02:08. > :02:09.roles, key jobs such as, you know, nurses

:02:10. > :02:11.and hospital workers and

:02:12. > :02:16.teachers perhaps even, that they can have an affordable house in one part

:02:17. > :02:20.of the county and they can quickly get to work in an economic hotspot.

:02:21. > :02:22.So if you want to get on to the housing ladder,

:02:23. > :02:27.how far do you have to leap just to get onto the first rung?

:02:28. > :02:30.New figures suggest people working in Fenland take home an

:02:31. > :02:39.In South Cambridgeshire, the weekly wage is around ?200 more.

:02:40. > :02:42.But when it comes to buying power, people in

:02:43. > :02:45.South Cambridgeshire are relatively worse off,

:02:46. > :02:46.with the average price of a detached house

:02:47. > :02:54.of a similar property in Fenland.

:02:55. > :03:01.Today, the authority that will be headed up by the new mayor agreed on

:03:02. > :03:06.a ?170 million affordable housing package with at least ?70 million

:03:07. > :03:08.concentrate in Cambridge. The governments of the rest of the money

:03:09. > :03:13.was filtered through to the part of the county that need it most.

:03:14. > :03:17.It is not about Cambridge, it is about not be areas that most people

:03:18. > :03:20.have heard of, it is about the areas that perhaps in the past have not

:03:21. > :03:24.got the support they needed and now it's a real opportunity for powers

:03:25. > :03:32.and the right leadership to make a difference. The challenge of dealing

:03:33. > :03:37.with Cambridge will be one of the challenges for the new map. We have

:03:38. > :03:40.been with beach today, when the most underfunded up deprived part of the

:03:41. > :03:44.country. What matters to people here is transport. As well as transport,

:03:45. > :03:47.the combined authority will have responsibility for boosting economic

:03:48. > :03:49.growth but it is low-cost housing that has made a difference to people

:03:50. > :03:50.like Katie. So will everyone get a fair share

:03:51. > :03:55.of attention and funding? I asked the leader of

:03:56. > :03:57.Fenland District Council, John Clark, what he wants

:03:58. > :04:02.from the new authority to deliver. I think first of all it has

:04:03. > :04:04.got to be transport. We want to be connected

:04:05. > :04:08.to Cambridge and Peterborough, which we are connected

:04:09. > :04:13.to Peterborough but Cambridge is the main thing that we feel

:04:14. > :04:19.it would improve this area by being under an hour

:04:20. > :04:21.to get to Cambridge. And is it train lines or roads

:04:22. > :04:24.you want investment in? We would like to see it go

:04:25. > :04:30.from Thorney directly with a river crossing all the way to Wisbech,

:04:31. > :04:33.but we would also like to see buses improved and we would also like to

:04:34. > :04:36.see the rail link direct from So how will you ensure

:04:37. > :04:40.that your voice is heard as loudly as, say,

:04:41. > :04:42.Cambridge City Council's voice? How will you make sure

:04:43. > :04:44.that there is a fair allocation I think first of all it

:04:45. > :04:48.will be down to lobbying the mayor, the mayor will have a lot

:04:49. > :04:52.of the ultimate decisions to make on But today we have had

:04:53. > :05:01.the allocation for the 100 million for housing,

:05:02. > :05:03.all the councils have talked, it's all been allocated and it's

:05:04. > :05:05.all been agreed. So what's politics like in

:05:06. > :05:07.a meeting like that? Because obviously you have got

:05:08. > :05:09.politicians from cities, from more rural areas, different

:05:10. > :05:12.political backgrounds as well. I don't think there has been any

:05:13. > :05:20.conflict whatsoever. As we say, we know

:05:21. > :05:26.the city is under a Labour administration and the rest are

:05:27. > :05:28.Conservatives and we have got the But up until yet,

:05:29. > :05:31.sitting around the table, politics hasn't entered

:05:32. > :05:35.into it at all. It's what is best for Cambridgeshire

:05:36. > :05:38.and Peterborough and how do we deliver it

:05:39. > :05:41.and I am really pleased that politics,

:05:42. > :05:42.at the moment, is not taking

:05:43. > :05:44.a part in that. And if you want to join the debate -

:05:45. > :05:48.the BBC Cambridgeshire bus will be in Ely market tomorrow,

:05:49. > :05:50.Cambridge Market on Wednesday and St John's Square

:05:51. > :05:55.in Peterborough on Friday. Detectives investigating the murder

:05:56. > :05:58.of a woman from Milton Keynes are due to release new CCTV images

:05:59. > :06:03.on Crimewatch later, Hang Leung died 11 days

:06:04. > :06:08.after she was attacked at home during a burglary

:06:09. > :06:12.on the 31st of January. Police are searching for six men

:06:13. > :06:15.involved in the break in. A former police officer,

:06:16. > :06:22.wife and mother. 64-year-old Hang Leung left

:06:23. > :06:28.Hong Kong in the early 90s and settled here in Milton Keynes where

:06:29. > :06:31.she ran a Chinese takeaway business At around six o'clock

:06:32. > :06:37.on the 31st of January, she was home alone when a man

:06:38. > :06:41.knocked on the door. When she went to answer it,

:06:42. > :06:44.the man and five others forced their way into her home before

:06:45. > :06:48.stealing cash and designer goods. Mrs Leung was pinned down

:06:49. > :06:51.while they ransacked the house. Police released this image to show

:06:52. > :06:56.the extent of the damage. The next day, still

:06:57. > :06:57.traumatised, Mrs Leung was She died from her injuries 11

:06:58. > :07:05.days after the ordeal. For me, when I think

:07:06. > :07:07.of burglary, I think of someone Objects, things that

:07:08. > :07:18.can be replaced. But for my family, this burglary

:07:19. > :07:21.has meant we have had a Police are trying

:07:22. > :07:27.to track down several personal items, including this gold

:07:28. > :07:30.Rolex Oyster watch and Mrs Leung's long service police

:07:31. > :07:35.medal from Hong Kong. Detectives have described this

:07:36. > :07:38.as a despicable crime Some of her neighbours who I have

:07:39. > :07:47.spoken to and didn't want to appear on camera have expressed their shock

:07:48. > :07:50.and sadness at what happened in Detectives are keen to speak

:07:51. > :07:55.to anyone who may have seen six men acting suspiciously in a car

:07:56. > :07:58.travelling between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury on the evening of Tuesday

:07:59. > :08:02.the 31st of January. Katharine Da Costa, BBC

:08:03. > :08:07.Look East, in Milton Keynes. A multi-million pound refurbishment

:08:08. > :08:13.of Peterborough's main shopping ?8 million is being spent

:08:14. > :08:21.on improving lighting, doors A further 30 million

:08:22. > :08:26.will be spent later on a multi-screen cinema,

:08:27. > :08:28.plus new shops and restaurants. The work will take place overnight

:08:29. > :08:31.when the centre is shut. Work on the cinema complex

:08:32. > :08:34.is expected to start next year, Our trade at this moment in time

:08:35. > :08:37.has been very buoyant. This will just add to it

:08:38. > :08:40.and this will add to the experience of the customer and

:08:41. > :08:43.therefore it changes the perception of what Queensgate has

:08:44. > :08:45.been looking like. As I said, we're over 34 years

:08:46. > :08:48.old now so it's about time Lorry drivers are facing a ban

:08:49. > :08:51.on overtaking along stretches Highways England is introducing

:08:52. > :08:55.the restrictions next week to improve traffic flow,

:08:56. > :08:59.especially near Stansted Airport. But, perhaps unsurprisingly,

:09:00. > :09:03.some truckers aren't happy, Long stretches of the M11 are just

:09:04. > :09:11.two lanes, that means when lorries overtake each other, a big tailback

:09:12. > :09:15.can build up behind them. So Highways England

:09:16. > :09:21.is going to restrict lorries overtaking during the day on uphill

:09:22. > :09:29.stretches of the motorway. Signs are going to go

:09:30. > :09:31.up saying any vehicle over seven and a half tonnes can't

:09:32. > :09:34.use lane two between seven and the morning and seven

:09:35. > :09:36.in the evening. The lorry overtaking restriction

:09:37. > :09:38.would be in place between junction eight at Bishop's

:09:39. > :09:39.Stortford near Stansted Highways England believes it

:09:40. > :09:47.will ease congestion. But at a nearby service station,

:09:48. > :09:50.some HGV drivers are saying not being able to overtake

:09:51. > :09:53.would hold them up. If you get stuck behind a massive

:09:54. > :09:56.queue of trucks that are all going 40 mph, when you could be doing,

:09:57. > :10:03.especially when I'm empty, 56, it makes quite an impact

:10:04. > :10:09.on what time you can get there. Some of the trucks, you know,

:10:10. > :10:12.they're weighted at 44 plus tonnes, they are going to take a long time

:10:13. > :10:15.to get up them hills. They could be down

:10:16. > :10:17.to anything, 20 mph? All lorries do 56 mile an hour

:10:18. > :10:21.and some are a bit slower and it's and, you know, it's going

:10:22. > :10:25.to make it even worse. You've got vehicles with odd weights

:10:26. > :10:30.and loads and if it is a slight incline, it is surprising how much

:10:31. > :10:33.it can slow you down. And then you are stuck probably

:10:34. > :10:35.behind 20, 30 lorries. A daytime overtaking ban for lorries

:10:36. > :10:40.is already in force on this stretch of road, the A14

:10:41. > :10:48.in Northamptonshire. Highways England says lorry

:10:49. > :10:50.speeds haven't changed but Lorry drivers caught

:10:51. > :10:52.overtaking where they Back on the M11, the

:10:53. > :10:56.overtaking restriction is expected to start

:10:57. > :10:58.at the end of this month. One lorry driver told Look East

:10:59. > :11:03.the best way of tackling congestion here would be widening

:11:04. > :11:06.this section of the M11 to three A bit of sport now -

:11:07. > :11:13.and in ice hockey, MK Lightning are celebrating winning

:11:54. > :11:56.pitch from Norwich city, and how working dogs trained here are

:11:57. > :12:02.helping to protect Africa's wildlife against poachers.

:12:03. > :12:04.Next tonight, we're back on the road for our Brexit roadtrip -

:12:05. > :12:07.nine months after the EU Referendum, we are finding out if people

:12:08. > :12:11.have changed their minds about leaving the EU...

:12:12. > :12:19.Today we were told the Prime Minister will start the Brexit

:12:20. > :12:21.process on March 29th, when she triggers Article 50.

:12:22. > :12:29.Our Brexit Mini is on the final straight

:12:30. > :12:31.and is heading into Suffolk, where the Port of Felixstowe

:12:32. > :12:34.is the UK's container gateway to Europe and the rest

:12:35. > :12:37.Careful manoeuvring by the Estelle Maersk brings it

:12:38. > :12:42.At 175,000 tonnes, carrying 15,000 containers, it's not an easy task.

:12:43. > :12:46.Free-flowing freight through our ports is critical to the economy.

:12:47. > :12:57.Containers are opened, the good see the light of day,

:12:58. > :12:59.Containers are opened, the goods see the light of day,

:13:00. > :13:08.There are no further inspections necessary.

:13:09. > :13:13.A clear road ahead to the rest of the UK or the EU.

:13:14. > :13:15.Felixstowe Port has expanded in the last decade.

:13:16. > :13:18.This has allowed it to manage 44% of the country's container traffic,

:13:19. > :13:20.coming from over 400 ports around the world.

:13:21. > :13:28.One quarter of the trade comes from the EU.

:13:29. > :13:32.When you are driving here at the quayside

:13:33. > :13:35.at the Port of Felixstowe, you can't ignore the size

:13:36. > :13:37.of the ships or the massive scale of the operation here.

:13:38. > :13:40.You can imagine that one slight change will have

:13:41. > :13:50.At the moment, the security checks are enough.

:13:51. > :13:52.If the government, after Brexit, says that they need to increase

:13:53. > :13:54.the security checks by 25%, they must make sure

:13:55. > :14:01.that they have the funds and people in place to do those.

:14:02. > :14:05.It is not just the port that will have to put extra

:14:06. > :14:08.resources into the business, it is the customs and excise that

:14:09. > :14:11.will have to increase their staff to make sure they have people

:14:12. > :14:19.in place to check the containers and the cargo, and the paperwork.

:14:20. > :14:25.Those importing goods are feeling the pressure too.

:14:26. > :14:28.In Ipswich, Miguel and his wife, Olga, opened their Portuguese

:14:29. > :14:31.cafe last September, just two months after the UK decided

:14:32. > :14:43.I'm concerned with how difficult it would be in the negotiations,

:14:44. > :14:50.to the products that come from the EU into the UK.

:14:51. > :14:59.But it could have a detrimental affect on the consumer,

:15:00. > :15:01.but I hope it will not be that harsh.

:15:02. > :15:04.He is optimistic for the future and has plans

:15:05. > :15:08.This area of Ipswich has a long history of welcoming communities,

:15:09. > :15:16.That is despite the local MP campaigning to remain.

:15:17. > :15:20.Although I was disappointed, my job is to make sure that Ipswich

:15:21. > :15:23.prospers and Suffolk prospers, and East Anglia prospers,

:15:24. > :15:30.My vote is the same as everyone else's, and I promised people

:15:31. > :15:33.when I was campaigning that this is what I believe in.

:15:34. > :15:37.But if you vote the other way, I will make sure I do my very best

:15:38. > :15:41.which is what I'm completely focused on at the moment.

:15:42. > :15:43.There are opportunities and we have to make them happen.

:15:44. > :15:45.There is optimism and uncertainty here in Suffolk, over

:15:46. > :15:53.Tomorrow we'll be in Essex on our last stop on the Brexit minitour,

:15:54. > :15:55.and we will be seeing if they are embracing

:15:56. > :15:57.the opportunities, or driving for the hills.

:15:58. > :16:11.A year ago, we met a former military dog trainer from Norfolk.

:16:12. > :16:13.For the first time, he was training dogs in the UK,

:16:14. > :16:16.Daryll Pleasants believes if the poachers aren't stopped,

:16:17. > :16:21.elephants and rhinos will be extinct in less than a decade.

:16:22. > :16:23.The three dogs are now fully operational in Africa.

:16:24. > :16:26.But over the last 12 months they've been trained to sniff out ivory,

:16:27. > :16:30.to stop a poacher in his tracks, and have come face

:16:31. > :16:39.This special report from Debbie Tubby.

:16:40. > :16:42.Polaris is one of the three dogs trained in the UK

:16:43. > :16:44.by Darryl Pleasants, sitting on the back of this truck

:16:45. > :16:46.in Zimbabwe, being chased by one of the animals

:16:47. > :16:51.Perhaps not quite the welcome he was expecting, but their

:16:52. > :16:56.How successful have your dogs been so far in Africa?

:16:57. > :17:00.We've seen a definite downward turn in poaching.

:17:01. > :17:03.Because, there is an inherent fear of dogs in Africa.

:17:04. > :17:06.We sent out a very clear message to everyone else that if you come

:17:07. > :17:10.onto the Conservancy and you intend to poach, you're not going to leave.

:17:11. > :17:13.It was in April last year we filmed Polaris's brothers Bo and Rogue

:17:14. > :17:15.checking into Norwich Airport to acclimatise to

:17:16. > :17:26.Similar to the one they'll use while working in the African bush.

:17:27. > :17:29.Three months later, and Joshua Kobal steps into the shoes of a poacher.

:17:30. > :17:32.He is volunteering to be chased and bitten by the dogs

:17:33. > :17:37.Do you train the dog to bite, or do you train it to just hold?

:17:38. > :17:42.All of the dogs target the arms, so we do inside bites

:17:43. > :17:58.What we try and teach the dogs to do is target what they are offered.

:17:59. > :18:01.At 30 mph, the momentum lifts the dog off the ground

:18:02. > :18:04.and with a bite like a hydraulic press, there's no chance of escape.

:18:05. > :18:06.They are wearing armour, whereas a human being,

:18:07. > :18:08.as he's moving through the ground, you have a front profile.

:18:09. > :18:15.With the armour as well, we've never had a problem.

:18:16. > :18:17.We've never had a dog that's even been injured operationally

:18:18. > :18:21.Maria wasn't so lucky, shot 17 times by poachers.

:18:22. > :18:23.Her horn was hacked off while she was still alive.

:18:24. > :18:27.Maria died in Zimbabwe two years before Darryl's dogs arrived here.

:18:28. > :18:32.That's why he is so desperate no more animals lose their lives.

:18:33. > :18:35.It is the height of the summer, and Rogue and Polaris

:18:36. > :18:43.get a trip to the zoo, a chance to meet the animals

:18:44. > :18:45.they will see in Africa, but hopefully they

:18:46. > :18:48.These dogs have got to find out exactly what their position

:18:49. > :18:51.They must know because dogs will generally react

:18:52. > :18:54.We want the dogs to be stable under pressure,

:18:55. > :18:57.we don't want dogs that will run off, suddenly chasing wildlife.

:18:58. > :18:59.After months of hard work, Rogue and Polaris finally

:19:00. > :19:06.Their new home is this Conservancy, and it is also home to 200

:19:07. > :19:13.I think it's quite an irresponsible attitude, to turn around and say,

:19:14. > :19:15.I want to save the world and make a difference.

:19:16. > :19:27.As a team, across the broard spectrum of conservation,

:19:28. > :19:32.It's making a difference to future generations.

:19:33. > :19:34.I have to say, I don't want my grandchildren to look

:19:35. > :19:37.Darryl's dogs continued training, even though

:19:38. > :19:41.With man and dog working together to save animals that could otherwise

:19:42. > :19:51.Some brilliant pictures there. You can see more of those dogs as young

:20:07. > :20:09.has told Look East the club is close to appointing a new

:20:10. > :20:12.The club have outlined a new behind-the-scenes structure -

:20:13. > :20:13.this involves scrapping the Chief Executive's

:20:14. > :20:17.The Sporting Director will also lead the search for a new head coach

:20:18. > :20:22.Fans on Saturday came to watch the same team but a different looking

:20:23. > :20:27.club. The manager and Chief Executive both gone, seemingly gone

:20:28. > :20:32.for good and seem to be replaced by a sporting director, Head Coach and

:20:33. > :20:37.new managing director. Do you think the previous Chief Executive's role

:20:38. > :20:43.is a most too big for one person to do effectively? It is challenging in

:20:44. > :20:46.the timescale, you have one person with a lot of responsibility,

:20:47. > :20:51.especially around some parts of the year, like transfer windows. By

:20:52. > :20:54.splitting the role in two, you can focus on your expertise. The new

:20:55. > :21:00.look structure has the sporting director overlooking the whole

:21:01. > :21:03.operation, including recruitment. And a managing director in Taj of

:21:04. > :21:07.business. They report directly to the board,

:21:08. > :21:12.with a Head Coach responsible to the first team working with the

:21:13. > :21:15.technical director and academy manager.

:21:16. > :21:18.The purpose of the new sporting director is that at an advanced

:21:19. > :21:23.stage, they could be named this week and then they will step up the

:21:24. > :21:26.search for a new head coach. The relationship between the two will be

:21:27. > :21:31.so important for this new structure to work. We want to bring in a

:21:32. > :21:39.sporting director who can, in a long-term way, in body B style and

:21:40. > :21:42.value of play, working with the sporting director and head coach who

:21:43. > :21:45.can deliver for the first team. There will be Head coaches and

:21:46. > :21:50.managers unhappy working in that framework. For our club, recruitment

:21:51. > :21:54.and the Academy is vital in how we plan for the future. It is

:21:55. > :21:58.impossible to have a Head Coach running the football side. What do

:21:59. > :22:04.you make of this new setup gritter at its a joke, absolute joke. It's

:22:05. > :22:08.all right, providing the director and manager can speak as one. You

:22:09. > :22:11.have one person making decisions, not two. Whoever the new sporting

:22:12. > :22:16.director is need someone they have worked with before. You will get a

:22:17. > :22:20.new head coach working with the sporting director, what do you

:22:21. > :22:25.think? Well, I don't know about that, I would rather have a manager.

:22:26. > :22:29.Norwich told me they went rush a decision for either role, with this

:22:30. > :22:32.summer so crucial in achieving their long-term goal of top-flight

:22:33. > :22:36.football. After you see our next item,

:22:37. > :22:45.you might think twice before I do everything before -- I do that

:22:46. > :22:46.with everything before I throw it away!

:22:47. > :22:48.A man who enjoys tinkering with old bits of furniture

:22:49. > :22:51.in his workshop, has just discovered a new line in business -

:22:52. > :22:55.Rob Howard lives in Norwich, and loves anything -

:22:56. > :22:57.from an old TV set to a vintage hoover.

:22:58. > :23:01.Now other people's unwanted rubbish is appearing in some top dramas.

:23:02. > :23:20.Set in the 1950s, this BBC drama Young Hyacinth has been watched by

:23:21. > :23:24.thousands. Part of the charm is the original features, including this

:23:25. > :23:28.television from the time. Behind the scenes, many have had the Rob Howley

:23:29. > :23:35.treatment. What started as a hobby has become the go to place the major

:23:36. > :23:39.television production companies. There are a lot of proper houses

:23:40. > :23:44.that higher stuff, but all of our stuff is fully restored and working.

:23:45. > :23:49.If they want a working TV set, they can come to us and choose from our

:23:50. > :23:55.selection. It is surreal, dealing with massive companies, like the BBC

:23:56. > :24:02.and film companies, sometimes I get to go to film sets, and see things

:24:03. > :24:10.being filmed. He has close to 500 TVs and wireless is, dating back to

:24:11. > :24:15.the mid-1920s. This wireless, or radio, in today's world, is from

:24:16. > :24:19.1939. It now echoes the sounds of 2017.

:24:20. > :24:25.This place certainly takes you back in time for this 1950s television

:24:26. > :24:29.set, which recently featured in a BBC production, to this 1930s

:24:30. > :24:40.Hoover, which, believe it or not, still works! Although, to be fair,

:24:41. > :24:44.it sounds more like a lawn mower than vacuum cleaner! Increasingly,

:24:45. > :24:49.we live in a throwaway society but, before you start clearing out your

:24:50. > :24:50.smartphones and gadgets, just think, it could be valuable vintage in

:24:51. > :25:00.future! I should imagine you have a treasure

:25:01. > :25:04.trove in your garage! We have a trove... I don't know about

:25:05. > :25:09.treasure! That was brilliant, they made them so well in those days and

:25:10. > :25:09.it works! They lasted

:25:10. > :25:12.it works! They lasted for ever! Let's have a

:25:13. > :25:16.look at the weather. It is the spring equinox today,

:25:17. > :25:19.however you look at it, we are well and truly into spring.

:25:20. > :25:25.This morning, not an inspiring scene...

:25:26. > :25:30.Things improved, in April's Garden, more in the way of sunshine and blue

:25:31. > :25:34.skies! This cold front works down across the country. Cloud associated

:25:35. > :25:41.with that. Cold weather behind moves through tomorrow night. On the

:25:42. > :25:45.radar, these lines of intense downpours, lying convection, working

:25:46. > :25:48.downwards. 10-15 minutes of heavy rain were given to parts of the

:25:49. > :25:53.region which have all but cleared. For many it is dry and clear and

:25:54. > :25:58.breezy, carrying a couple of showers from the West. Dry overnight and

:25:59. > :26:03.with cold air coming in, it turns chilly. Temperatures down to one or

:26:04. > :26:08.2 degrees by the morning. A fine start on Tuesday, sunshine in the

:26:09. > :26:12.morning. Cloud bubbles up, Fairweather cloud, bringing a couple

:26:13. > :26:17.of isolated showers in from the West and into the afternoon. It does not

:26:18. > :26:21.last long. Highs of nine or 10 degrees, average for this time of

:26:22. > :26:24.year. No pressure dominates on Wednesday, rotating around each

:26:25. > :26:29.other. It gives headaches when it comes to the forecast. Some

:26:30. > :26:33.uncertainty about how quickly this band of rain comes across the

:26:34. > :26:40.region. Potential of rain on Wednesday. Low pressure on Thursday,

:26:41. > :26:45.slipping southwards. A north-easterly winds develops which

:26:46. > :26:49.pushes rain back westwards, through the day on Thursday. Some

:26:50. > :26:53.uncertainty about the position and timing of that. Subject to change

:26:54. > :26:58.over the next few days. On Friday, potential for rain to creep into

:26:59. > :27:02.southern parts of the region. In the north, dry and bright and at the

:27:03. > :27:07.weekend, this low weakens and pulls away. I pressure builds over the top

:27:08. > :27:12.so things settle at the weekend and it should be dried -- high pressure.

:27:13. > :27:18.Pleasant by David chilly and night. In the early hours of Sunday, the

:27:19. > :27:20.clocks go forward as well. He always brings us good weather!

:27:21. > :27:56.Good night! The 24-year-old man

:27:57. > :27:59.has been charged with murder. You made sure an innocent man

:28:00. > :28:02.is charged! What gives you the right

:28:03. > :28:07.to say that he's innocent? If police wrongdoing

:28:08. > :28:12.is part of this, I want to know.
