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