:00:00. > :00:07.Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Look East.
:00:08. > :00:09.Coming up here tonight: Learning behind locked doors.
:00:10. > :00:11.More money for higher education in prisons,
:00:12. > :00:13.as numbers of inmates studying for degrees falls.
:00:14. > :00:15.Tweaking the targets, why the Ambulance Service will reach
:00:16. > :00:19.fewer life-threatening calls within the national standard time.
:00:20. > :00:22.The Duchess of Cambridge takes to the red carpet to help
:00:23. > :00:32.And what's next for England's former test captain Alistair Cooke ahead of
:00:33. > :00:39.the new cricket season? Hello, first tonight,
:00:40. > :00:41.locked up for their crimes and using distance learning
:00:42. > :00:45.to turn their lives around. But the number of prisoners studying
:00:46. > :00:48.with Milton Keynes based Open University has fallen by 42%,
:00:49. > :00:54.after funding was cut in 2012. There are now 1,079 just over
:00:55. > :00:56.a thousand offenders Now a new scheme is trying and help
:00:57. > :01:02.more inmates educate themselves out of re-offending as Kate
:01:03. > :01:19.Bradbrook reports. Seminar discussions at the open
:01:20. > :01:24.University in Milton Keynes, here meeting up face-to-face is a rare
:01:25. > :01:28.sight as courses are mainly taught via distance learning. Because of
:01:29. > :01:34.this is all you is the only university where people serving time
:01:35. > :01:40.in prison can study. I work with people up and down the country,...
:01:41. > :01:45.People like Stephen has spent eight years behind bars for drug related
:01:46. > :01:50.crimes. Now he has two masters degrees and is studying a Ph.D. . He
:01:51. > :01:53.worked here at the open University. Having a degree means you are more
:01:54. > :02:01.employable, it means that you can then begin to pay back something
:02:02. > :02:05.into society and for me it is a winner all around. The all
:02:06. > :02:10.distributes course materials to prisons across the country, up until
:02:11. > :02:14.2012 much of it was paid for by government grants which have since
:02:15. > :02:18.been cut. The university says enrolment numbers have fallen
:02:19. > :02:24.sharply as a result. Now with the help of the Garfield charitable
:02:25. > :02:28.foundation a pilot scheme will fund an hundred 50 prisoners per year to
:02:29. > :02:31.the first stage of the degree. Anyone else would have to take out a
:02:32. > :02:35.loan or pay for that course, why should prisoners get this help? The
:02:36. > :02:41.main reason is because statistics have shown time and time again that
:02:42. > :02:46.education does reduce reoffending rates so if we are giving them
:02:47. > :02:52.skills for employment and they are able to help them to change their
:02:53. > :02:59.lives any money be put in in the first instance. . A lot of the good
:03:00. > :03:03.value that happens through learning is in building a tenant of narrative
:03:04. > :03:11.of vision yourself that you can go out and do new things. It has this
:03:12. > :03:15.horizon broadening effect. More than 1000 offenders are studying for a
:03:16. > :03:18.degree, or you is aiming to halt the decline in numbers and make
:03:19. > :03:24.prisoners better prepared for the world outside.
:03:25. > :03:30.The government says in 2012 stringed regulation changes meant grants were
:03:31. > :03:32.replaced with student loans for part-time study. Those changes apply
:03:33. > :03:34.to prisoners in the same way as everyone else.
:03:35. > :03:36.Well one former inmate who's life was turned around
:03:37. > :03:39.He was in and out of various jails, including Whitemoor
:03:40. > :03:43.for offences including bank robbery and GBH.
:03:44. > :03:46.He learned to read and write on the inside and eventually got a degree.
:03:47. > :03:52.I asked him if all prisoners could be rehabilitated that way.
:03:53. > :03:55.I am certainly not a one off, I know quite a few ex-prisoners
:03:56. > :03:58.who went down the same route as me and are still out of prison
:03:59. > :04:03.and are still productive or newly productive members of society.
:04:04. > :04:06.I find that people who have been educated in prison and giving
:04:07. > :04:09.training and vocational training and allowed to go beyond the normal
:04:10. > :04:11.basic education in prison, most of those are people
:04:12. > :04:19.We are talking today about funding for higher education in prison,
:04:20. > :04:22.presumably lots of inmates don't have basic qualifications,
:04:23. > :04:25.GCSEs or A-levels, vocational qualifications, so should funding be
:04:26. > :04:30.available all the way through the system?
:04:31. > :04:33.I think it should, really, I went to prison in the 70s
:04:34. > :04:35.when it was kind of de rigueur to educate prisoners,
:04:36. > :04:38.there was a lot of money pumped into prisoner education
:04:39. > :04:41.and our prison population was about half the size it is now
:04:42. > :04:46.After a round 1990, after the Strangeways riot,
:04:47. > :04:50.it then became the case and it is now that if you want to do
:04:51. > :04:56.further education in prison then you must find yourself right
:04:57. > :04:59.to a charity to refund you for it, which I think is wrong.
:05:00. > :05:02.Of course there's only so much money in the pot, isn't there?
:05:03. > :05:05.What would you say to people who say that it should not be spent
:05:06. > :05:07.on any kind of benefit or reward for prisoners?
:05:08. > :05:11.It amazes me that people still think like that, it is not an award,
:05:12. > :05:14.yes it is a benefit to prisoners but it is also of benefit
:05:15. > :05:22.If you are going to educate prisoners who are uneducated and had
:05:23. > :05:26.no schooling and have not education and make the prospect and hope
:05:27. > :05:29.for the future better then surely that would mean there would be less
:05:30. > :05:30.people committing crime against society.
:05:31. > :05:34.Maintaining percent of prisoners will be getting out at some stage,
:05:35. > :05:37.probably living next door to you, and I am sure he would want them
:05:38. > :05:40.to have an education and a job rather than just come out and go
:05:41. > :05:43.back to what they were doing before they went to prison.
:05:44. > :05:45.An 87-year-old man from Cambridgeshire has appeared in court
:05:46. > :05:49.Brendan Constant is accused of murdering Jean Constant,
:05:50. > :05:53.Her body was discovered at the Poppyfield's sheltered
:05:54. > :06:01.He has been released on bail until a further hearing next month.
:06:02. > :06:04.The East of England Ambulance Service has had its response targets
:06:05. > :06:07.for the most serious calls lowered, so it has more chance
:06:08. > :06:10.It means fewer people having heart attacks or strokes
:06:11. > :06:15.The national target is for paramedics to get to 75%
:06:16. > :06:22.But it's now been agreed the service will aim to get
:06:23. > :06:32.I asked our health reporter Nikki Fox how this has come about.
:06:33. > :06:36.It's always been difficult for this ambulance service because it
:06:37. > :06:40.covers such a rural area and there's rising demand.
:06:41. > :06:42.I went out with crews recently and they were dealing
:06:43. > :06:50.For years the Ambulance Service has consistently missed it's targets
:06:51. > :06:52.In 2014 they were fined more than a million pounds, then last
:06:53. > :06:56.August criticised by the care watchdog.
:06:57. > :07:03.Since then, response times have improved slightly but no
:07:04. > :07:11.where near enough to meet the old target.
:07:12. > :07:14.What's been the reaction to this agreement then?
:07:15. > :07:17.It will reduce the fines the Ambulance Service pays.
:07:18. > :07:28.And today it's operating director defended the move.
:07:29. > :07:34.It is not lowering expectation because what we delivered was better
:07:35. > :07:38.than we had previously at the continued as a "Get better and
:07:39. > :07:41.better every month throughout the last year we started off on one of
:07:42. > :07:42.the lowest positions nationally and one of the highest performing trust
:07:43. > :07:44.in the country. The Ambulance Service also says
:07:45. > :07:47.it's continued focus will be to get to the most seriously
:07:48. > :07:50.ill the quickest. But moving the goalposts
:07:51. > :07:52.will make it look better. For instance, in the first month it
:07:53. > :07:55.met it's new target. And relaxing response times could be
:07:56. > :08:06.seen by some as admitting defeat. Plans to build a new prison
:08:07. > :08:08.in Wellingborough will be considered The Ministry of Justice says
:08:09. > :08:14.the new prison will create up to three thousand new jobs,
:08:15. > :08:17.and provide an eighty million pound The prison will replace one
:08:18. > :08:22.that closed in 2012, after a long campaign
:08:23. > :08:32.to keep it open. The long campaign to reopen
:08:33. > :08:38.Wellingborough prison has been led by the town's MP and now that
:08:39. > :08:41.reopening is edging closer Wellingborough is looking forward to
:08:42. > :08:45.an economic boost. I think the government have said there was about
:08:46. > :08:50.an ?80 million boost to the economy so that will probably be indirect
:08:51. > :08:55.jobs but also indirect jobs, contracts with local firms, so that
:08:56. > :08:59.is an amazing amount of money coming back into the economy. Many were
:09:00. > :09:02.surprised when in July 2012 plans were announced to close
:09:03. > :09:08.Wellingborough. Compare to other Victorian prisons it is not that
:09:09. > :09:14.old. It actually opened in 1963 as a young offenders Institute. Before
:09:15. > :09:18.coming a category C prison in 1990. Closure followed 22 years later in
:09:19. > :09:23.then last year on news that it would reopen with its first prisoners due
:09:24. > :09:25.to arrive in 2020. When the government announced the closure of
:09:26. > :09:29.Wellingborough prison they said the closure would save them around ?10
:09:30. > :09:35.million every year. They also said to bring the buildings here up to a
:09:36. > :09:39.workable standard would cost another ?15 million and now with the news of
:09:40. > :09:43.reopening because the buildings here are said to be not fit for purpose
:09:44. > :09:48.every single building on site will now have to be demolished. The
:09:49. > :09:54.latest prison figures for England and Wales sure there is a need for
:09:55. > :09:58.more jails, in March 2013 nearly 84,000 people were serving
:09:59. > :10:02.sentences. Whereas last month that figure had jumped to 85 and a half
:10:03. > :10:07.thousand. And the Home Secretary was also keen to stress you prisons like
:10:08. > :10:12.Wellingborough complete with modern facilities will be more able to
:10:13. > :10:17.focus on rehabilitation programmes and not just on security issues. The
:10:18. > :10:23.plans will be discussed tonight by the borough council but the
:10:24. > :10:25.recommended for approval. There is not a great deal of objection to
:10:26. > :10:29.these plans, there is one speaker who does oppose them. The meeting
:10:30. > :10:32.gets under way at seven o'clock and we will bring you the outcome on
:10:33. > :10:34.tonight 's Look East at half past ten.
:10:35. > :10:36.A new arrivals building at Stansted Airport has been granted
:10:37. > :10:43.and will be situated next to the current terminal.
:10:44. > :10:45.There will be larger immigration and baggage reclaim areas,
:10:46. > :10:50.Work will start in late 2018 and take three years.
:10:51. > :10:52.Airport bosses say it will enhance its growth over
:10:53. > :11:09.Now let's join Stewart for the rest of Look East.
:11:10. > :11:11.Still to come tonight, Alex will be here with news
:11:12. > :11:17.of a possible heatwave at the weekend.
:11:18. > :11:19.We're at the County Ground in Chelmsford looking forward
:11:20. > :11:23.And the Duchess of Cambridge at the opening of a show that
:11:24. > :11:25.could raise thousands of pounds for East Anglia's
:11:26. > :11:34.Next tonight, another Cambridge biotech success story.
:11:35. > :11:43.Astex Pharmaceuticals is Japanese owned, and a new breast cancer drug
:11:44. > :11:47.it has helped develop has just been approved in America.
:11:48. > :11:50.It took a team of 25 Cambridge scientists 12 years
:11:51. > :11:57.Enabled by this robot and a process called x-ray crystallography,
:11:58. > :12:00.which allowed scientists here to define the shape
:12:01. > :12:06.This discovery has meant a new drug being developed to target advanced
:12:07. > :12:11.I think it is a statement on the quality of science
:12:12. > :12:19.And this is why you have so many organisations,
:12:20. > :12:24.multinational companies, who clearly have investment here,
:12:25. > :12:29.but also collaborate with companies such as Astex, based here.
:12:30. > :12:32.Now the drug has been approved in America.
:12:33. > :12:35.To get a drug into production revolves around different companies
:12:36. > :12:38.working together in sync, and based on opposite
:12:39. > :12:53.But here at the Cambridge Science Park just up the road,
:12:54. > :12:55.there's a chemical technology firm which also has
:12:56. > :12:58.Johnson Matthey is a global firm, providing chemical facilities
:12:59. > :13:01.We like being in Cambridge because Cambridge is one
:13:02. > :13:04.of the biggest pharmaceutical and biotech hubs in the UK,
:13:05. > :13:07.So many of our customers are local, which allows us to work
:13:08. > :13:11.But we also work with customers in continental Europe,
:13:12. > :13:13.with customers in Asia and in the USA, so it's
:13:14. > :13:23.And it's the global nature of this precise network that doesn't sit
:13:24. > :13:27.What will the impact of Brexit be for the company now?
:13:28. > :13:29.Science is an international game, so we have scientists
:13:30. > :13:35.In fact, around 30% of our scientists here
:13:36. > :13:43.It is important for us to still have access to the best talent,
:13:44. > :13:49.Whether it's continental Europe or Asia, or the Americas.
:13:50. > :13:53.And this will be crucial for the firm, as it will now be
:13:54. > :14:00.expanding its workforce after this latest pioneering success.
:14:01. > :14:04.We've heard a lot this year about the free movement
:14:05. > :14:07.But what about the free movement of zoo animals?
:14:08. > :14:10.You probably don't know, but lots of zoos exchange animals
:14:11. > :14:15.with other zoos in Europe for all sorts of reasons.
:14:16. > :14:20.At one wildlife complex in Suffolk, experts say the exchanges,
:14:21. > :14:26.especially of endangered species, is vital and must go on.
:14:27. > :14:29.I could so easily appear cynical if I suggested that the half term
:14:30. > :14:33.holidays would seem the ideal moment for zoos to trigger
:14:34. > :14:44.But there is behind the scenes a niggling worry that we could see
:14:45. > :14:46.a system which works well start to unravel.
:14:47. > :14:48.Terry is animal manager here, and explains why the exchange
:14:49. > :14:53.We've got 18 species here that are part of quite
:14:54. > :14:56.intensively managed European breeding programmes.
:14:57. > :14:59.And those breeding programmes rely on every single individual.
:15:00. > :15:04.Because you need around 200 individuals for a programme
:15:05. > :15:08.to remain reasonably genetically viable.
:15:09. > :15:18.He's worked for 30 years with animals, not just in this
:15:19. > :15:20.just in this country, but in the Middle East
:15:21. > :15:24.On this 60 acre site, with around 80 difference species,
:15:25. > :15:26.in the past month alone more than six animals have arrived
:15:27. > :15:29.here from zoos in Europe and four have gone out.
:15:30. > :15:31.The fossa from Madagascar was one species which was
:15:32. > :15:34.The female youngster recently was sent to a zoo
:15:35. > :15:38.And we've still got the two young males that were also part
:15:39. > :15:41.of the litter, and they're due to go to a zoo in Israel.
:15:42. > :15:43.There are of course so many uncertainties about Brexit.
:15:44. > :15:46.Does this feel as though the zoos are just putting
:15:47. > :15:54.In other words, there is no firm evidence to say things will change,
:15:55. > :16:00.What will be absolutely crucial when we get to the point
:16:01. > :16:02.where it's discussed again, where Brexit is concerned,
:16:03. > :16:04.it is crucial that zoo professionals are sitting round a table
:16:05. > :16:09.People who know what they're talking about?
:16:10. > :16:18.He doesn't foresee major problems for the simple reason, he says,
:16:19. > :16:20.that this is a system which works well.
:16:21. > :16:22.And where everyone has a vested interest and benefits to reap
:16:23. > :16:41.Last night was very special for this 12-year-old boy from Cambridge. He
:16:42. > :16:43.went to London. He saw a West End show for the first time, and he got
:16:44. > :16:50.to meet the Duchess of Cambridge. We'll hear from him
:16:51. > :16:53.and his family in a moment. But first a warning that this report
:16:54. > :16:56.contains some flash photography. At the opening of 42nd St
:16:57. > :16:58.at Drury Lane Theatre last night, Attending in her role as royal
:16:59. > :17:05.patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices,
:17:06. > :17:07.she was there to raise the charity's profile and to raise money
:17:08. > :17:10.for a new hospice in Norfolk. Among the welcoming party,
:17:11. > :17:12.the show's producer and 12-year-old Ollie from Cambridge,
:17:13. > :17:15.whose family had been supported Shortly after the Duchess became
:17:16. > :17:31.patron of the charity, she made her first visit
:17:32. > :17:33.to the Tree House Facilities there are
:17:34. > :17:35.state-of-the-art. It means that children can
:17:36. > :17:39.be hoisted out of bed, And then they can be hoisted
:17:40. > :17:44.back down into the bath. A sensory room, hydrotherapy pool
:17:45. > :17:46.and family accommodation, just three of the things that
:17:47. > :17:49.will be offered when the new hospice in Norfolk,
:17:50. > :17:51.known as the Nook, is built. We launched the Nook appeal back
:17:52. > :17:55.in 2014 because we have The care that we deliver from there
:17:56. > :18:03.is outstanding, but unfortunately So we want to transform children's
:18:04. > :18:07.palliative care in Norfolk by providing a purpose-built hospice
:18:08. > :18:14.just outside of Norwich. Since the Duchess of Cambridge
:18:15. > :18:18.became patron in 2012, awareness of the work
:18:19. > :18:20.that the charity carries It's hoped that by being
:18:21. > :18:23.represented in the West End, even more people will
:18:24. > :18:28.show their support. As audiences were wowed by sequins
:18:29. > :18:38.and slick choreography, the charity hopes its ?10 million
:18:39. > :18:41.appeal for the new hospice will now take centre stage,
:18:42. > :18:44.and that the spotlight falls on the work it carries
:18:45. > :19:00.out across the region. So let's hear from that
:19:01. > :19:04.12-year-old boy, Oliver Duell, And we talked about that
:19:05. > :19:11.conversation with the Duchess. She was talking about
:19:12. > :19:13.the hospice, how much care Did you get much of
:19:14. > :19:27.a chance to speak to her? She asked about the hospice and
:19:28. > :19:37.the care that Oliver received there. And whether he went for respite,
:19:38. > :19:40.or whether he had daycare. She asked about the show,
:19:41. > :19:43.and how excited Oliver was to see the show,
:19:44. > :19:47.which Oliver had never been And she said how lovely
:19:48. > :19:53.it was to meet Ollie and all of us. How was the show, Oliver,
:19:54. > :19:56.if you had never been And when you do go to the hospice,
:19:57. > :20:07.what do you do there? And it is something
:20:08. > :20:21.you look forward to doing? How important is it, do you think,
:20:22. > :20:25.to have somebody like the Duchess The hospice is a fabulous
:20:26. > :20:35.organisation, but having her as our patron has raised the profile
:20:36. > :20:38.of the Each itself, but also just brought into focus how important
:20:39. > :20:40.hospices, children's hospices are. She comes round and she has seen
:20:41. > :20:48.the hospice being used, and it's brilliant having somebody
:20:49. > :20:50.like her out there And how important is it
:20:51. > :20:56.to your daily lives that Oliver has somewhere like this that he can go
:20:57. > :21:02.from time to time? Oliver has been part of the hospice
:21:03. > :21:06.since he was three years old... He goes there for respite,
:21:07. > :21:17.which means some time away from us, some time away from his very
:21:18. > :21:21.demanding care needs. But not only that,
:21:22. > :21:24.they help us as a family. They provide us support
:21:25. > :21:42.and a safe place for Oliver And also to meet other
:21:43. > :21:46.parents and families that are going through the same sort
:21:47. > :21:48.of experiences that Oliver, now you have been to see
:21:49. > :21:52.a big West End musical once, Will you get your mum
:21:53. > :21:55.to take you again? Thank you, both of you,
:21:56. > :21:59.for being with us. And it was good to meet
:22:00. > :22:02.the Duchess, wasn't it? Oliver knows he started when he was
:22:03. > :22:13.two. In cricket, the former Engalnd
:22:14. > :22:16.captain Alastair Cook has told Look East He wants to carry
:22:17. > :22:18.on playing cricket for Essex He resigned as England
:22:19. > :22:22.captain two months ago and will now play
:22:23. > :22:24.more games for Essex. in their opening game against
:22:25. > :22:28.Lancashire Because he is injured. This from our Sports
:22:29. > :22:35.Editor Jonathan Park. Forget the photos, all this lot want
:22:36. > :22:38.to do is get started. But in time honoured tradition, some smiles and
:22:39. > :22:42.snaps before the new cricket season gets up and running. You walk down
:22:43. > :22:45.the line of the F-16, they're ultimately talented. One name
:22:46. > :22:49.stand-up head and shoulders above all else. The question is, what next
:22:50. > :22:55.for Alastair Cook? I still hope for a few more games left in me.
:22:56. > :22:58.Hopefully I can carry on scoring runs for England. It's kind of a
:22:59. > :23:04.different phase of my career, after being captain. I love being Derry
:23:05. > :23:11.playing cricket, I love playing for England. -- I love playing cricket.
:23:12. > :23:16.It's a huge honour walking out at Lord's or wherever, Ashes tour as
:23:17. > :23:20.well. I hope to get on the plane. He is now 32 but no longer the test
:23:21. > :23:25.captain, stepping down in February after five years at the helm. He was
:23:26. > :23:28.still chase test runs, possibly alongside his Essex team-mate,
:23:29. > :23:32.another run machine who starred for England Lions in the winter. We joke
:23:33. > :23:36.about how long he's going to play, but he is so fit he can play for as
:23:37. > :23:40.long as he wants to. It'd be nice if you pay 200 tests, I think that
:23:41. > :23:45.should be his target. As long as he's scoring runs come he can play
:23:46. > :23:48.for as long as it once -- if he could play 200. You would like to
:23:49. > :23:53.play in a test alongside him? It's nice scoring runs of him last year.
:23:54. > :23:57.In division two, he played some of the early games and managed to score
:23:58. > :24:01.some runs. Code is frustrated he will miss double's opening match
:24:02. > :24:04.through injury, but there is a buzz following their promotion in the
:24:05. > :24:08.County ground. His experience will be vital if they are to stay up. He
:24:09. > :24:12.has been with us throughout pre-season. Just to have somebody of
:24:13. > :24:17.his calibre both as a cricketer and public. He shares his experience.
:24:18. > :24:21.People feed off that and get confidence from it. He also scores a
:24:22. > :24:25.lot of runs and be a good influence on the part, which is what we are
:24:26. > :24:30.trying to do. With no Test matches until July, Cook will be around for
:24:31. > :24:34.the first three months of the season, then he'll be back for
:24:35. > :24:40.England, but not as Captain Cook. Will it be strange paying under
:24:41. > :24:44.different captain, Joe Root? I think it might be strange in the first
:24:45. > :24:48.week, but I've come back here for five years and played without being
:24:49. > :24:52.captain. I don't think it'll be any different in the long run. And
:24:53. > :24:57.hopefully, as I say, I can score some runs. It's a new challenge for
:24:58. > :24:58.Cook and four Essex, but they're good together. This relationship
:24:59. > :25:08.won't fizzle out. You probably think it looked quite
:25:09. > :25:12.nice pair today, but look ahead to the weekend, shorts weather. It's
:25:13. > :25:16.looking nice, yes. Much warmer for the weekend. We've had some areas of
:25:17. > :25:20.cloud in the region today, but lots of fine weather with some great
:25:21. > :25:25.sunshine, lots of fantastic photographs sent in. Here's a few of
:25:26. > :25:31.them. This one showing some blue sky. This is stunning, taken in
:25:32. > :25:35.Essex. We move along to, where is this? Cambridgeshire, more sunshine
:25:36. > :25:39.to be had there. The satellite image shows that during the course of the
:25:40. > :25:44.day after the bright start, more cloud was coming in on the northerly
:25:45. > :25:49.winds. A light wind, but a bit of a feed of cloud of the North Sea. For
:25:50. > :25:53.some of us, is clouded over in the afternoon. The cloud will thin and
:25:54. > :25:57.break through the evening and night. We will be left with some clear
:25:58. > :26:01.spells during the night. Another area of cloud moving in by the end
:26:02. > :26:06.of the night. Temperatures probably dropping a bit lower in the middle
:26:07. > :26:09.part of the night, down to around two all three degrees, but should
:26:10. > :26:13.recover by first thing tomorrow morning. We start on around seven or
:26:14. > :26:17.8 degrees with a light northerly wind. Tomorrow, high pressure will
:26:18. > :26:22.be on the scene for a few days, said into the weekend. That will bring a
:26:23. > :26:26.settled forecast with light winds. It'll be difficult to depict how
:26:27. > :26:32.much cloud we hold onto. Over the next couple of days particularly
:26:33. > :26:35.with those northerly winds. Some bright weather, some sunny spells,
:26:36. > :26:37.but it made ten cloudy at times which will make things feel cooler.
:26:38. > :26:42.In the sunshine, temperatures likely to get to 13 or 14 degrees. The wind
:26:43. > :26:45.becomes lighter in the afternoon, but it looks like it should stay
:26:46. > :26:50.dry. The beyond, a few changes on the way. A subtle change in wind
:26:51. > :26:54.direction is going to be what brings us the warmth for the weekend. Here
:26:55. > :27:00.we have it. High pressure getting squeezed away to the east. More of a
:27:01. > :27:04.southerly flow, and dry continental air coming our way, meaning that
:27:05. > :27:09.temperatures lived by Saturday and Sunday. We could record highs of
:27:10. > :27:13.around 20 degrees. We've gone for some more modest temperatures of 17
:27:14. > :27:17.or 18 Celsius, but it could be said in some spots we record highs of
:27:18. > :27:21.around 20 Celsius, not bad at all for weekend weather. Before that we
:27:22. > :27:25.have Friday, and we could end up with quite a lot of cloud at times.
:27:26. > :27:34.But we have that wind turning to a southerly direction and we get the
:27:35. > :27:39.temperatures warming up for the right position. That jet stream has
:27:40. > :27:40.a lot to answer for, but it looks good this weekend. Have a good
:27:41. > :27:56.evening, goodbye. CHILD: This is
:27:57. > :28:17.a major scientific breakthrough. Hello. It's All Round to
