:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to Tuesday's programme.
:00:00. > :00:09.the ambitious plans to boost the Northamptonshire economy.
:00:10. > :00:12.Hope for Holly - how pioneering stem cell treatment is giving this
:00:13. > :00:23.To suddenly see some tiny little steps is wonderful and gives us hope
:00:24. > :00:24.for what might happen in the future. High-tech help to tackle Cambridge's
:00:25. > :00:36.congestion problems. And later, we are at the rehearsals
:00:37. > :00:42.of a very special performance. Find out why the original Luton girls
:00:43. > :00:55.choir of the 1940s and 50s has come back together.
:00:56. > :00:58.Hello, first tonight, building business post-Brexit.
:00:59. > :01:01.Next Wednesday, the Prime Minister will trigger Article 50,
:01:02. > :01:05.officially starting Britain's exit from the European Union.
:01:06. > :01:07.Business leaders from across Northamptonshire are not waiting
:01:08. > :01:11.around to find out what that might mean, they are meeting tonight
:01:12. > :01:14.to discuss how to capitalise on that historic moment,
:01:15. > :01:18.to grow existing industries, attract external investment
:01:19. > :01:23.They believe working together will actually make things happen,
:01:24. > :01:37.Logistics, moving things around is one of the driving forces of the
:01:38. > :01:41.Northamptonshire economy, and so is key to future jobs. Iain Rogers in
:01:42. > :01:47.Northampton employs more than 100 people, its lorries and up across
:01:48. > :01:50.Europe. We came here last year and the director told the East she was
:01:51. > :01:55.putting Remain. She stands by that but says one of her concerns may
:01:56. > :02:00.have a surprising outcome. There will probably be a lot more it --
:02:01. > :02:04.administration as our vehicles cross borders, there might be a lot more
:02:05. > :02:08.red tape. So it might mean we have to take on extra people to manage
:02:09. > :02:12.that. So that means extra costs so that is a conversation we will have
:02:13. > :02:16.to help with our customers. On the other side of town, at this domestic
:02:17. > :02:21.logistics firm, the boss told us last year she was putting Leave. No
:02:22. > :02:25.she is keen to get things moving. Can we please just get on and get on
:02:26. > :02:29.with the negotiations? I think what we need to do is give the Government
:02:30. > :02:33.a chance to go away and negotiate with Europe a good deal for Britain,
:02:34. > :02:38.and I am confident that is what will happen. Tonight, businesses from
:02:39. > :02:42.across Northamptonshire will meet here. The purpose is to put previous
:02:43. > :02:48.differences of opinion aside and look at what needs to be done to
:02:49. > :02:50.create jobs in a post-Brexit world. Politics drives economics and
:02:51. > :02:55.economics drives business so whichever sector... Lecturers at the
:02:56. > :02:59.University of North London are amongst the organisers for tonight's
:03:00. > :03:04.event. They say businesses will be wary going into talks with the EU
:03:05. > :03:08.starting next week. In terms of negotiations, the quicker and sooner
:03:09. > :03:13.we have clarity and certainty, I would say the fundamental issue
:03:14. > :03:17.really is control of immigration against market access, but certainly
:03:18. > :03:21.those people currently working in the UK that are from the EU, that
:03:22. > :03:26.their rights should be protected. Students are here from around the
:03:27. > :03:30.world, many were about to become job-seekers. My family have asked me
:03:31. > :03:36.if I am scared that I will be thrown out of the country. But I said, this
:03:37. > :03:40.is not America! I feel fine. It is affecting me but not as much as
:03:41. > :03:44.other people who came to the country recently. I do not think there will
:03:45. > :03:49.be any major changes immediately. But going on a few years, there will
:03:50. > :03:53.be definitely changes to business confidence. The economy has done
:03:54. > :03:57.better than many predicted since devoted to leave. The message from
:03:58. > :04:05.tonight's events is businesses need to act if that is to continue. They
:04:06. > :04:08.need to concentrate on what the business is good to try to make
:04:09. > :04:12.their products better, look at innovation, to reduce costs, to look
:04:13. > :04:15.at their school based to make sure they have the skills for the future,
:04:16. > :04:20.and also just look at what opportunities may be around the
:04:21. > :04:25.corner. We do not yet know the destination of talks with the EU so
:04:26. > :04:29.for now, businesses have to find their own weight to local economic
:04:30. > :04:30.success. Sam Read, BBC Look East, Northampton.
:04:31. > :04:33.But while Northamptonshire did vote about 60 to 40 for Brexit,
:04:34. > :04:35.Cambridge was overwhelmingly pro-Remain.
:04:36. > :04:38.The leader of the Liberal Democrats has been speaking to entrepreneurs
:04:39. > :04:41.and business students in Cambridge today.
:04:42. > :04:43.I spoke to Tim Farron earlier and he had this message
:04:44. > :04:50.Business should feel like they've got the ability to change
:04:51. > :04:52.the direction of this country, as should everybody,
:04:53. > :04:55.We know that the British people voted marginally, narrowly,
:04:56. > :04:58.to leave the European Union, but that was not a mandate
:04:59. > :05:00.for the Prime Minister to give us the hardest possible Brexit,
:05:01. > :05:04.to damage education, farming and business in the process.
:05:05. > :05:07.But you don't know what the deal's going to look like yet,
:05:08. > :05:09.so in a sense, aren't you fear-mongering, rather than helping
:05:10. > :05:15.No, we don't know what the deal's going to look like, so it's right
:05:16. > :05:19.So, outside the Single Market, that means that, for example,
:05:20. > :05:20.agricultural producers in Cambridgeshire will be facing
:05:21. > :05:26.Given that 75% of their exports are to the Single Market,
:05:27. > :05:29.that is a crackers thing for a government that wants to take
:05:30. > :05:33.care of its own people to choose to do, and this deal will end up
:05:34. > :05:36.being done at some point in the next two years,
:05:37. > :05:38.then it will be imposed on the British people.
:05:39. > :05:41.Someone is going to sign this deal off at the end,
:05:42. > :05:44.either it is going to be the politicians, or it will be
:05:45. > :05:46.the people, in a referendum on that deal that as yet,
:05:47. > :05:49.But businesses don't like uncertainty, do they?
:05:50. > :05:51.So, if you are saying you want another referendum in
:05:52. > :05:53.two years' time, that's two years of more uncertainty.
:05:54. > :05:56.That can't be popular in the business community.
:05:57. > :05:58.It is increasingly popular that the Liberal Democrats
:05:59. > :06:00.are the only party giving the people, including businesses,
:06:01. > :06:03.the chance to say yes or no to the eventual deal the Government
:06:04. > :06:10.If they feel they may actually have to face the people in a referendum
:06:11. > :06:13.at the end of all this, there is much more incentive for
:06:14. > :06:17.So, why have you come to Cambridge with that message,
:06:18. > :06:20.Why aren't you spreading the message amongst the pro-Leavers?
:06:21. > :06:24.How we approach these things is all about attitude and tone.
:06:25. > :06:26.I was talking to a big employer up in my patch,
:06:27. > :06:29.up in Cumbria, just two weeks ago, and he said to me,
:06:30. > :06:31."Brexit is a disaster, but we are positive
:06:32. > :06:35.He said, "We're a Victorian company, we've lived through three fires,
:06:36. > :06:38.umpteen floods, two world wars, we'll get through Brexit and we'll
:06:39. > :06:42.Now, I think that is the right attitude.
:06:43. > :06:48.It doesn't change the fact that Brexit is a disaster.
:06:49. > :06:51.And later in the programme, we are looking at the air industry
:06:52. > :06:54.in this region and the impact of the Leave vote.
:06:55. > :06:56.Other news now, and the parents of an 11-year-old girl with
:06:57. > :06:59.cerebral palsy say they've seen a huge improvement in her condition
:07:00. > :07:03.since she underwent pioneering stem cell treatment in America.
:07:04. > :07:05.Holly Greenhow is now home and back at school,
:07:06. > :07:13.11-year-old Holly has cerebral palsy.
:07:14. > :07:15.To help her conditions, her parents use this special suit,
:07:16. > :07:17.which uses electrical pulses to stimulate the muscles
:07:18. > :07:22.that were damaged when she was deprived of oxygen at birth.
:07:23. > :07:26.Holly is unable to do anything, really, movement and balance wise,
:07:27. > :07:29.and speech, all that part of her body got affected.
:07:30. > :07:33.But her intelligence remains totally intact.
:07:34. > :07:38.In October, the family travelled to America for stem cell treatment.
:07:39. > :07:41.They paid ?10,000 for stem cells to be injected.
:07:42. > :07:44.The idea, they would multiply through the damaged part
:07:45. > :07:47.of Holly's brain, replacing the dead ones.
:07:48. > :07:50.Since then, her parents say she is sleeping longer,
:07:51. > :07:53.her vision is improved, her vocabulary expanded,
:07:54. > :07:56.and has more control over her muscles.
:07:57. > :08:02.Did it start at the candlestick maker's?
:08:03. > :08:04.Although Holly has a teaching assistant, she attends
:08:05. > :08:06.a mainstream school, and her friends there
:08:07. > :08:13.I've noticed that she's been concentrating more in class,
:08:14. > :08:17.and in games, and she's been a lot more relaxed.
:08:18. > :08:20.I know that she's been able to use her communication book more
:08:21. > :08:23.and is able to express how she feels.
:08:24. > :08:26.And she's been concentrating more in our games and in school life.
:08:27. > :08:30.And at home, they have been keeping a diary of any developments.
:08:31. > :08:32.What have the improvements meant to you as a family?
:08:33. > :08:34.It's wonderful, I mean, I guess we've missed loads
:08:35. > :08:37.of milestones with Holly, as any sort of special needs child
:08:38. > :08:41.would, which is tough, but to suddenly see some tiny little
:08:42. > :08:44.steps is wonderful, and just gives us hope, really,
:08:45. > :08:47.for what might happen in the future as well.
:08:48. > :08:50.This kind of treatment is controversial.
:08:51. > :08:53.The Stem Cell Foundation stresses the complex science hasn't gone
:08:54. > :08:57.through clinical trials, so there are potential risks,
:08:58. > :09:00.and as Holly is receiving a range of treatments,
:09:01. > :09:04.it is difficult to establish which is responsible for any change.
:09:05. > :09:09.But for a young girl who has already broken boundaries as a model,
:09:10. > :09:11.our family hope that the pioneering medicine could hold
:09:12. > :09:19.Louise Hubball, BBC Look East, Huntingdon.
:09:20. > :09:22.Well, technology experts will tonight say Cambridge
:09:23. > :09:28.One proposal at the Intelligent City presentation is better tracking
:09:29. > :09:31.how and where people and vehicles move around.
:09:32. > :09:45.Yes, imagine walking out of your office or your place of work and
:09:46. > :09:49.jumping in a driverless vehicle that will take you from A to B. Will look
:09:50. > :09:53.at your phone and noted the second when your bus will arrive at your
:09:54. > :09:58.bus stop. Even knowing how many bikes there are on the streets. That
:09:59. > :10:04.is what a smart city is. In here, this is the Microsoft building,
:10:05. > :10:09.where politicians and academics are trying to develop Smart Cambridge.
:10:10. > :10:12.This is all about creating data, knowing how many vehicles are on the
:10:13. > :10:17.roads, where the buses are, where the pinch points are, and many car
:10:18. > :10:23.parking spaces there are boss they are fed by sensors around the city
:10:24. > :10:25.to a hub. It is about making the city flow more freely. One of the
:10:26. > :10:26.organisations behind this had a chat with us earlier.
:10:27. > :10:28.Firstly, the planners can use it for working out
:10:29. > :10:31.where bus routes should be, where cycle routes should be,
:10:32. > :10:34.where the traffic bottlenecks are, that we can then sort out.
:10:35. > :10:36.Secondly, we can help members of the public by using travel apps
:10:37. > :10:39.and other data to know where the buses are,
:10:40. > :10:41.how many minutes you've got to wait at your bus station
:10:42. > :10:53.That bus app should come into effect here in the summer, and also in
:10:54. > :10:56.Milton Keynes. But effectively it is about making cities less congested,
:10:57. > :11:00.greener and much easier to get around.
:11:01. > :11:02.Detectives investigating the death of a woman who was attacked
:11:03. > :11:04.in her Milton Keynes home are following up
:11:05. > :11:07.The case of Hang Yin Leung was featured
:11:08. > :11:09.on the BBC's Crimewatch programme last night.
:11:10. > :11:13.It included new CCTV and police bodycam footage.
:11:14. > :11:17.Let's get the rest of the news, sport and weather from around
:11:18. > :11:35.You are watching Look East. Still to come: Peterborough gets ready to
:11:36. > :11:37.honour two of its own, we'll speak to gymnast Louis Smith and rower
:11:38. > :11:48.James Fox, live. First, the last in our series of
:11:49. > :11:50.looking at what the region thinks of Brexit, nine months after we made
:11:51. > :11:58.the decision to leave the European Union.
:11:59. > :12:01.Over the last week or so, the Brexit mini has been wending
:12:02. > :12:05.And our political reporters have been talking to a range of people
:12:06. > :12:07.from scientists in Cambridge to tourist bosses
:12:08. > :12:10.Tonight Simon Dedman is in Essex, reporting from the Olympic mountain
:12:11. > :12:17.bike venue in Hadleigh, and the runway at Stansted.
:12:18. > :12:21.The EU opened up the skies, blowing aviation regulation into thin air.
:12:22. > :12:31.The boom in budget airlines took off, with Britain in the EU driving
:12:32. > :12:35.Today, it can be cheaper to fly to Croatia than to get
:12:36. > :12:45.7 million people travel via Stansted every year
:12:46. > :12:49.The airport is lobbying Government to keep Britain in the EU
:12:50. > :12:53.We are working very closely with Government, with our partners
:12:54. > :12:56.to ensure that as part of the deal, that we ensure that there is open
:12:57. > :13:04.The liberalisation of the aviation market over the last 25 years has
:13:05. > :13:06.really spurred on the creation of airlines like
:13:07. > :13:11.It is vital that the Government take this seriously and it's their number
:13:12. > :13:13.one priority when it comes to discussions with
:13:14. > :13:18.based on complex international agreements made by the EU,
:13:19. > :13:21.There is real concern the industry will get grounded
:13:22. > :13:29.Unless the Government actually comes out and tells
:13:30. > :13:32.the industry what is happening, it's going to be very
:13:33. > :13:35.expensive for all concerned and we are going to suffer.
:13:36. > :13:39.Most airlines were against Britain leaving the EU.
:13:40. > :13:43.Some even campaigned for Remain but recently Ryanair has said it
:13:44. > :13:45.will still expand here at its main base adding more
:13:46. > :13:54.But Brexit brings uncertainty and elsewhere airlines are waiting
:13:55. > :13:58.to see what deal is struck with Europe over the skies.
:13:59. > :14:02.But can we bring back that winning 2012 spirit,
:14:03. > :14:13.Hadleigh held the mountain biking for the Olympics.
:14:14. > :14:23.The facilities are still used today by the Olympians of tomorrow.
:14:24. > :14:26.Last year this area had the largest Leave vote in the east.
:14:27. > :14:28.The people of Castlepoint voted 74% for Brexit.
:14:29. > :14:31.The bulldog spirit is strong here in South Essex but these local lads,
:14:32. > :14:33.training for the top, are not all convinced about the direction
:14:34. > :14:37.The people now don't want to leave but we have already
:14:38. > :14:43.Your friends and family round here wanting actually to Remain?
:14:44. > :14:45.Yeah, quite a lot of them have changed their mind actually.
:14:46. > :14:48.Because there was the whole thing about money going to the NHS.
:14:49. > :14:54.Now that that has come out that it is not going to happen.
:14:55. > :14:56.Now people are saying - we should have voted to Remain
:14:57. > :15:04.Britain normally has a way of getting by and finding
:15:05. > :15:10.I know we're obviously talking to America and everything
:15:11. > :15:13.So are you quite optimistic about the future?
:15:14. > :15:16.Yeah, yeah, we always find a way of working things out.
:15:17. > :15:19.That work begins now, as our journey ends.
:15:20. > :15:25.The task of building Brexit Britain and renewing
:15:26. > :15:27.relations beyond our shores is in the Prime Minister's
:15:28. > :15:42.Vicky Ford is one of seven MEPs who represent the East of England.
:15:43. > :15:46.Earlier she told me she'd talked to the chief Brexit
:15:47. > :15:54.I asked what her priorities were when it came to this region.
:15:55. > :15:57.I always had three priorities during the Brexit referendum
:15:58. > :16:04.One of which is trying to make sure that the economic disruption
:16:05. > :16:06.is as small as possible, which means trying to get that
:16:07. > :16:08.long-term trade agreement between ourselves and the rest
:16:09. > :16:16.The second was actually keeping access to science and research
:16:17. > :16:19.because I believe passionately that we are better when we work with
:16:20. > :16:22.We have world-leading science in this area.
:16:23. > :16:25.Actually the Prime Minister's also put that as one
:16:26. > :16:29.The third issue is just trying to keep this as peaceful
:16:30. > :16:36.So what do you feel the mood is, because we hear a lot of tough talk
:16:37. > :16:45.We're going to have a very intense two-year period.
:16:46. > :16:48.I see that the majority of my colleagues from across Europe want
:16:49. > :16:56.That's why they've just voted me back to chair the committee
:16:57. > :16:58.that's looking at market access, for example.
:16:59. > :17:01.They want to have an amicable, workable solution but there
:17:02. > :17:05.are others who want to disrupt it for their own political gain.
:17:06. > :17:11.So those of us who are in the centre need to try and keep very focussed
:17:12. > :17:14.on the long-term stable strategic partnership between the EU
:17:15. > :17:22.You're going to be briefing some of the MPs from this region tomorrow.
:17:23. > :17:26.Will you tell them that you're optimistic about the future?
:17:27. > :17:29.I think there's a huge amount to be done and we have a short
:17:30. > :17:46.negotiators on both sides, that they both have a long-term
:17:47. > :17:53.vision of where they want to land but there is an awful lot
:17:54. > :17:56.of potential uncertainty on the way and that we from the UK,
:17:57. > :17:58.in leadership roles, need to all get behind
:17:59. > :18:01.and support the Prime Minister and the negotiators and try and help
:18:02. > :18:03.show the solutions in these negotiations and that is
:18:04. > :18:08.A special reception is being held in Peterborough tonight to honour
:18:09. > :18:12.Gymnast Louis Smith, winner of four Olympic medals,
:18:13. > :18:14.and gold medal winning Paralympic rower James Fox are being awarded
:18:15. > :18:18.We'll speak to them both in a moment.
:18:19. > :18:34.First a reminder of their achievements. His dazzling routine
:18:35. > :18:39.have wowed the crowd for years. He has won countless medals, including
:18:40. > :18:44.silver at Rio It means so much. I've been in the sport for two decades. I
:18:45. > :18:51.don't know if it'll be my last Olympics. Doing that routine made me
:18:52. > :18:56.so happy. An emotional journey for a man credited for rejuvenating his
:18:57. > :19:01.sport. He became a national celebrity winning Strictly but then
:19:02. > :19:05.was in the headline for the wrong regions, he had to visit mocks,
:19:06. > :19:13.after he appeared to mock Islam I have let people down. It was a silly
:19:14. > :19:17.moment. Also there stop the James Fox, three time World Champion and
:19:18. > :19:22.now Paralympic gold medallist. The Paralympics is so special. Aged 1
:19:23. > :19:25.#1, James' career began at Peterborough rowing club. Now he's
:19:26. > :19:32.helping others reach their potential. Young guys need someone
:19:33. > :19:36.to look up. If I can be a part of that, that would be incredible. Two
:19:37. > :19:38.sporting heroes who've done Peterborough proud.
:19:39. > :19:42.And Louis Smith and James Fox are at Peterborough Town Hall now.
:19:43. > :19:51.Congratulations to the both of you. James what does it mean to you? Oh,
:19:52. > :19:54.yes, it is incredible. It is a real honour to be privileged with the
:19:55. > :19:58.freedom of the city. This is the city I grew up in. I went to school
:19:59. > :20:01.here, was born here and lefrnt to row here. It is bringing me back to
:20:02. > :20:05.my roots, which is great. Lewis for you, you have travelled the world
:20:06. > :20:10.and been a star on both the television and gymnastics, what does
:20:11. > :20:15.it mean for you. Well, Peterborough is home. This is where it all began,
:20:16. > :20:18.where it all started. Where all my friends and family are. I have had
:20:19. > :20:24.incredible support from Peterborough and to be given this award just
:20:25. > :20:28.means an incredible lot to me. Do you get something special to go with
:20:29. > :20:35.it, to show that you are who you are? Do you get something special?
:20:36. > :20:45.I'm not sure yet, I'll tell you in an hour or two. I'm not sure what we
:20:46. > :20:54.get given. Regardless, I think the principle is, we have been given
:20:55. > :20:59.this award, you know, not just us but other people have sacrificed so
:21:00. > :21:03.much to help us get so where we are and there's lots of flashing lights
:21:04. > :21:06.and stuff going on but at the end of the day we are from Peterborough,
:21:07. > :21:09.proud to be from Peterborough and I think Peterborough are proud of us,
:21:10. > :21:12.too. James in a lot of other places you would be allowed to drive your
:21:13. > :21:16.sheep through the centre of the city but you are not allowed to get that
:21:17. > :21:19.there but it is something that will make you and your family proud? I
:21:20. > :21:23.think it is an outrage. I wonder how much trouble I would get into if I
:21:24. > :21:26.took a sheep across the town bridge anyway? No, it is amazing, an old
:21:27. > :21:29.tradition. The freedom of the city is a massive thing. It is an honour
:21:30. > :21:34.for anybody. For us, we do sport for a living, we do what we enjoy and it
:21:35. > :21:41.is amazing to be recognised. My life's changed and I'm sure Louis's
:21:42. > :21:45.has since we went to the Olympics and Paralympics. This is incredible.
:21:46. > :21:49.You said in the film it is important people had somebody to look up to
:21:50. > :21:55.and it is important to above the of you, isn't it? 100%. Speaking from
:21:56. > :21:59.experience, it's not been easy growing up and sport has the ability
:22:00. > :22:03.it change lives and I think if any of us can get kids into sport, keep
:22:04. > :22:07.them in sport and kind of show what sport can do, then I think we're
:22:08. > :22:10.both doing ourselves proud. You have done the city proud. Congratulations
:22:11. > :22:13.to both of you. Thank you very much for being with us. Thank you for
:22:14. > :22:16.having us. Thank you. And we should also mention
:22:17. > :22:18.the paralympic basketball player Lee Manning,
:22:19. > :22:20.who is also getting the Freedom of the City
:22:21. > :22:22.but can't make Now think of what Luton has been
:22:23. > :22:37.famous for over the years... The carnival, the Vauxhall
:22:38. > :22:39.plant, the Airport. And - of course -
:22:40. > :22:41.the Luton Girls Choir. The girls sang at the
:22:42. > :22:43.Olympic Games in 1948. They sang all over the world
:22:44. > :22:46.and they all paid 4 old pence a week
:22:47. > :22:49.just to be a member. After 40 years of singing, the choir
:22:50. > :22:52.folded in 1977 when the But now they have been reunited -
:22:53. > :23:07.for a special occasion. They were expected to conduct
:23:08. > :23:12.themselves Azam bass doers for Luton, conditions under choir master
:23:13. > :23:24.Arthur Davies were strict. But the rewards were many. -- conduct
:23:25. > :23:28.themselves as ambassadors. If we missed the bus we crept in so he
:23:29. > :23:32.wouldn't see us. He thought we should be there on the dot. As
:23:33. > :23:37.teenagers they foamed around the world. Two months in Australia and
:23:38. > :23:42.one month in New Zealand. Absolutely wonderful Princess Alexandra was
:23:43. > :23:51.there. She got back in her car and sat on the chauffeur's top hat. I'm
:23:52. > :23:54.the little one in the front here. When we got through to the
:23:55. > :23:59.passports, they didn't want to see them, we sang to them. I don't know
:24:00. > :24:06.what we sang. Because I was born and bred in Luton, I had to go to this
:24:07. > :24:10.singing teacher who would secure me of my Luton accent. Right I'm going
:24:11. > :24:21.to show you some footage from 1961. Let's see if you remember this.
:24:22. > :24:32.Look, there's me, Katrina. Oh, right. '61 Jill and Pamela, look.
:24:33. > :24:36.Luton girls' choir, they've sung up and down the country, taken their
:24:37. > :24:41.music abroad. Two years ago they made a three month tour of New
:24:42. > :24:45.Zealand and Australia. We met the choir. Do you have much trouble
:24:46. > :24:50.looking after them all? Non-whatsoever. The choir will be
:24:51. > :24:56.performing at the reopening of the town's war museum in April.
:24:57. > :25:01.Isn't that wonderful. There is nothing better than pointing out
:25:02. > :25:03.people in an old photograph. I love it.
:25:04. > :25:08.The weather now. Thank you very much. A chilly start
:25:09. > :25:11.to the day but lots of fine weather across the region this morning. A
:25:12. > :25:16.beautiful photograph showing Norwich cathedral behind me. Blue sky there.
:25:17. > :25:19.There were showers as well. We'll continue to see some showers across
:25:20. > :25:23.western counties. A double rainbow you might be able to make out in
:25:24. > :25:27.Cambridgeshire this afternoon. The satellite image shows how cloud has
:25:28. > :25:31.developed from the west. With that some fairly heavy showers, with one
:25:32. > :25:35.or two reports of hail across counties such as Northamptonshire.
:25:36. > :25:39.So the threat of those continues really for western counties, the
:25:40. > :25:43.east staying largely dry. The trend will be for those showers to fade
:25:44. > :25:46.through the evening and night. Across all areas, clear sky tonight,
:25:47. > :25:50.so that will mean another chilly night. Temperatures widely down to
:25:51. > :25:55.three or four. But locally we could get as low as one or two degrees in
:25:56. > :25:58.some spots. The winds easing to a lot-to-moderate south-easterly.
:25:59. > :26:01.There could be just a touch of frost to some of us first thing tomorrow
:26:02. > :26:05.morning. It does look as though it'll be a bright start it the day.
:26:06. > :26:08.But this is the pressure pattern, so some unsettled weather before we get
:26:09. > :26:11.to fine weather later on in the week. Low pressure on the scene,
:26:12. > :26:15.which will bring rain across all areas by the afternoon. It should be
:26:16. > :26:20.a dray start for many of us, with good spells of sunshine. Quite a
:26:21. > :26:23.keen south-easterly. Despite the sunshine it'll feel chilly in the
:26:24. > :26:26.wind. You can see that area of rain, really an area of showery rain
:26:27. > :26:30.crossing to the north-east during the afternoon, and there could be
:26:31. > :26:33.some hail. There will be some showers following on behind. Some
:26:34. > :26:38.could be on the heavy side. So with the wind and temperatures around
:26:39. > :26:48.eight or nine, it'll feel quite cold but eventually those showers will
:26:49. > :26:53.start to die away. Then we'll be on to another chillyish night. Then
:26:54. > :26:58.things start to settle down. By the end of the week this is the pressure
:26:59. > :27:01.pattern. Low pressure pushed away by a large area of high pressure
:27:02. > :27:04.pushing down from the north. That will mean fine weather as we get
:27:05. > :27:06.into the weekend. So, some good spells of sunshine, but also some
:27:07. > :27:09.chilly nights. Before then, we have Thursday, so Thursday is looking as
:27:10. > :27:12.though it is going to be quite cloudy across this part of the
:27:13. > :27:15.country. Perhaps an isolated shower but most places seeing some dry
:27:16. > :27:18.weather with good spells of sunshine. Then we are into Friday
:27:19. > :27:21.and Saturday, so temperatures lifting to 11 or 12. So fine spring
:27:22. > :27:24.sunshine around but with high pressure and clear skies overnight
:27:25. > :27:28.we will have chilly nights. So average temperatures around 4, could
:27:29. > :27:32.be lower than that locally. Back to you. . Thank you very much.
:27:33. > :27:35.That's all from us. I hope you have a good evening. We will be back
:27:36. > :27:42.tomorrow at the same time. Good night.
