:00:00. > :00:00.In the programme tonight: Asked to leave their homes -
:00:07. > :00:15.a major operation to move people at risk from flooding.
:00:16. > :00:21.We are planning to stay. We will probably go tomorrow morning and
:00:22. > :00:22.stay out for the rest of the day until we hear it is safe.
:00:23. > :00:24.We'll have the very latest from Jaywick.
:00:25. > :00:26.With more extreme weather forecast for tomorrow,
:00:27. > :00:32.how is our region preparing for the threat of ice and snow?
:00:33. > :00:37.I am mad potters ahead of the start of the World Indoor Bowls final is
:00:38. > :00:43.both defending champions from this region.
:00:44. > :00:47.And I mean Chatteris as these Bronze Age treasures go on display. -- I
:00:48. > :00:51.yam here in Chatteris. A major operation is underway
:00:52. > :00:55.in Essex tonight, to move people out of their homes as the emergency
:00:56. > :00:59.services warn the area The problems could come tomorrow,
:01:00. > :01:03.when high tides combined with strong winds could cause flooding
:01:04. > :01:07.along the coast. This is when we're expecting
:01:08. > :01:11.the water levels to peak, starting at 7am in Wells in Norfolk
:01:12. > :01:14.and reaching Harwich around 12.30. Tonight, some people in Suffolk
:01:15. > :01:16.and Essex are being asked By far the biggest evacuation
:01:17. > :01:34.will be happening in Jaywick. He is a man with an impressive track
:01:35. > :01:41.record. Emergency services gathering tonight
:01:42. > :01:46.in Jaywick. Their task is to evacuate up to 3000 people at risk
:01:47. > :01:50.from a tidal surge due to hit tomorrow lunchtime. Police visited
:01:51. > :01:54.houses, advising people they should leave either tonight or tomorrow
:01:55. > :02:01.morning. And make their way to a reception centre.
:02:02. > :02:08.Daytime we will all be out anyway. People worried? I think there is a
:02:09. > :02:12.little panic. The neighbours next door get panicked because she is not
:02:13. > :02:17.very well next door and things like that. I think a lot of people are
:02:18. > :02:22.planning to stay. Barry, who lives on the seafront, is planning to stay
:02:23. > :02:28.put and help neighbours who may be vulnerable. When we had it last
:02:29. > :02:34.time, it was fairly calm. It came right up to the top of the water
:02:35. > :02:41.within our to ages and it went back. But it was lovely to watch it. It
:02:42. > :02:44.was so calm. People were coming down here to watch it. Are you not
:02:45. > :02:51.worried about what is in store tomorrow potentially? No, not
:02:52. > :02:59.really. If it comes over, it comes over. Nothing anybody can do.
:03:00. > :03:02.Volunteers said up and emergency reception centre, a temporary home
:03:03. > :03:09.for evacuees and, if need be, their pets. We had experience of this in
:03:10. > :03:16.2013. Our main concern tomorrow the big differences that we have got.
:03:17. > :03:21.Exceptionally strong winds. They will coincide with a high tide just
:03:22. > :03:25.after lunchtime. That is why we have put in place this operation to
:03:26. > :03:29.evacuate safely the people of Jaywick. Forecasting the severity of
:03:30. > :03:34.a tidal surge is notoriously difficult. But the police say people
:03:35. > :03:40.should heed the warnings, leave their homes and take no chances.
:03:41. > :03:48.Nigel Brown is in Jaywick now. How concerned are you about those people
:03:49. > :03:55.who are saying they will not move? Good evening. Obviously that is a
:03:56. > :03:59.concern. Especially if they are elderly and vulnerable people. Some
:04:00. > :04:03.may be living on their own. The police can only advise them to leave
:04:04. > :04:10.their homes. Nobody can make them. The main thing is we are here. We
:04:11. > :04:16.are said up to receive them. Can you explain why Jaywick is more at risk?
:04:17. > :04:22.It is because it is a low-lying area, below sea level. Obviously
:04:23. > :04:27.people are only too aware of the 1953 floods when people lost their
:04:28. > :04:31.lives. And only four years ago, we had a similar incident to now. The
:04:32. > :04:36.wind changed direction at the last minute. Therefore it wasn't an
:04:37. > :04:39.issue. When people were advised to and it doesn't happen, it makes them
:04:40. > :04:44.wary of thinking that maybe they will get away with it this time.
:04:45. > :04:48.There will calm a time when it will go over the wall and we hope they
:04:49. > :04:52.are not there to experience it. So you say people may have a false
:04:53. > :05:00.sense of security because of what happened last time. If they do
:05:01. > :05:05.decide to stay, is there a any advice you can give them to protect
:05:06. > :05:09.their homes? It is very difficult if they decide to stay. They are at the
:05:10. > :05:17.mercy of the water and where it comes up two. -- to. Most of the
:05:18. > :05:22.houses are only single story. Keep their belongings off the floor. If
:05:23. > :05:27.they stay there, they are at the mercy of the weather and the tide.
:05:28. > :05:33.If they come here, it is safe, warm and dry and they will be well looked
:05:34. > :05:37.after. There is also the safety element for people who may feel they
:05:38. > :05:44.can go and watch this, isn't there? Yeah, I think anybody would advise
:05:45. > :05:48.people not to go down there and watch it. I'm sure people will not
:05:49. > :05:52.heed that advice. But it would be very foolish not to. To take
:05:53. > :05:58.pictures you are putting your life at risk if the waves are that high.
:05:59. > :06:00.The last thing we want is anybody losing their lives. Thank you for
:06:01. > :06:02.talking to me. The rest of the region
:06:03. > :06:04.is also bracing itself Jaywick's not the only place
:06:05. > :06:18.on the coast bracing itself Tonight at the Felixstowe ferry
:06:19. > :06:24.cafe, vital equipment was being shifted. In 2013, the surge hit
:06:25. > :06:29.them. Businesses and homes are at risk. If it saves the business, and
:06:30. > :06:36.the stuff inside, it is worth it. Fingers crossed that we have done it
:06:37. > :06:42.all for nothing but you never know! When the water comes, the community
:06:43. > :06:46.gets hit by a double whammy. It comes up the slipway and it also
:06:47. > :06:51.hates them around the back. While this flood defence will protect
:06:52. > :06:55.houses on this side, the people here are very exposed. Steven Reid is an
:06:56. > :07:01.assistant harbour master. He lives yards from the water's age. You
:07:02. > :07:07.build a building on the beach, you know you will get flooded. It is 2.2
:07:08. > :07:13.metres off the ground. There may be slight damage downstairs. Plans are
:07:14. > :07:18.in place here and at other vulnerable spots to evacuate at
:07:19. > :07:22.midday tomorrow. Rest centres will be established. This is the team
:07:23. > :07:26.trying to gauge the impact. The volatility of the weather is making
:07:27. > :07:36.that conflicts. We are very good at predicting. We are talking about
:07:37. > :07:39.Force eight north-westerly is. It makes it very volatile. There is
:07:40. > :07:43.always the chance the wind will drop away and nothing will happen. As we
:07:44. > :07:50.get closer, that becomes less likely. The seafront at Golston was
:07:51. > :07:55.closed. Gritting teams were busy across the putter. 37 vehicles were
:07:56. > :07:59.out by lunchtime. We have a particular set of conditions at the
:08:00. > :08:05.moment. Rain, sleet followed by snow. One of the challenges faced by
:08:06. > :08:10.the highway team is putting salt down is not very clever. We are
:08:11. > :08:16.prepared to go now this very second. We may go out in several hours if it
:08:17. > :08:21.rains and gets washed off, and again for or five hours after that. For
:08:22. > :08:22.the drivers and officials there will be little rest. Planning for the
:08:23. > :08:35.worst but hoping for the best. Debbie is in Norwich with the
:08:36. > :08:39.latest. Another set of warning is basically
:08:40. > :08:42.saying, don't get too close to the large waves because they could be
:08:43. > :08:46.carrying all sorts of debris. Don't put yourself in danger by trying to
:08:47. > :08:52.take photographs. And don't drive through floodwater because at just
:08:53. > :08:57.30 centimetres of flowing water can move your car. The army will be on
:08:58. > :09:01.stand-by tonight and tomorrow. There are evacuation centres being set of
:09:02. > :09:08.in Felixstowe from eight o'clock in the morning. And if you are in an
:09:09. > :09:11.affected area, expect a visit from the police denied to get the
:09:12. > :09:16.details. You can get the latest information by tuning into your
:09:17. > :09:18.local BBC radio station or online. Thank you.
:09:19. > :09:29.We have a couple of areas of low pressure to content with in the next
:09:30. > :09:33.few hours. The first has been tracking east and brought outbreaks
:09:34. > :09:40.of rain. It is turning heavier. It has turned to sleet and snow. The
:09:41. > :09:44.major hazard tonight will be ice. Temperatures below freezing. It is
:09:45. > :09:48.expected to freeze. This is the radar chart showing the latest rain.
:09:49. > :09:53.Starting to turn to sleet and slow in the rest. That's Mike Snow. The
:09:54. > :09:57.next weather front comes from the north tomorrow. That brings snow
:09:58. > :10:03.showers for Eastern counties. It will bring strong to near gale force
:10:04. > :10:04.winds, coinciding with high tides. That could cause problems with
:10:05. > :10:08.That could cause problems with flooding.
:10:09. > :10:10.Norfolk's troubled Children's Services department has
:10:11. > :10:12.appointed its second temporary director in three months.
:10:13. > :10:14.Matt Dunkley, who's been in charge of the same
:10:15. > :10:17.department in East Sussex, will take up his post in February.
:10:18. > :10:18.Norfolk County Council has already appointed four directors
:10:19. > :10:26.of Children's Services in as many years.
:10:27. > :10:33.He is a man with an impressive track record. The head of children's
:10:34. > :10:38.services in Suffolk for eight years, Matt Dunkley was awarded a CBE. Next
:10:39. > :10:45.month, he heads to Norwich. But he want to take a permanent job. His
:10:46. > :10:48.predecessor, also in Tehran, hands over as director after only six
:10:49. > :10:52.weeks at the home. Norfolk children's services, which looks
:10:53. > :10:55.after youngsters, some of them vulnerable, is going through a
:10:56. > :11:01.turbulent time. Judged by Ofsted as inadequate, it has a -- had a quick
:11:02. > :11:06.succession of permanent and interim heads since 2013. I would like to
:11:07. > :11:09.see a permanent appointment done in the proper way and we can pick the
:11:10. > :11:14.right person. It is bad for morale. It is a bad message to constantly
:11:15. > :11:18.play musical chairs with this job. When Matt LeBlanc Lee takes over his
:11:19. > :11:27.job, Norfolk would have had five heads of children's services within
:11:28. > :11:31.four years. -- Matt Dunkley. Suffolk's officer has been in charge
:11:32. > :11:40.since 2012 and in Essex, seven years. You need to change how you do
:11:41. > :11:45.things? I think so, yes. We might, depending on the outcome of the
:11:46. > :11:50.local elections, it could be that we will look very seriously at how
:11:51. > :11:55.things work. Matt Dunkley will soon fly back from Melbourne in
:11:56. > :12:00.Australia, where last year he was suspended from his previous job
:12:01. > :12:05.after being caught up in a corruption scandal. That department
:12:06. > :12:09.told us today it had completed an independent investigation and found
:12:10. > :12:13.no evidence he was involved in any corrupt activity. County Hall says
:12:14. > :12:18.it is aware of the issue. Its selection process included the usual
:12:19. > :12:22.due diligence. Matt Dunkley is seen as a high-calibre appointment. He
:12:23. > :12:27.will head up children's services onto the next Ofsted Extech --
:12:28. > :12:31.investigation later this year. The search for a permanent director goes
:12:32. > :12:32.on. That could take up to eight months. What is needed is long-term
:12:33. > :12:36.expertise and stability. Council tax is likely to go up
:12:37. > :12:39.by 5% for households The Conservative-led borough council
:12:40. > :12:43.says it will help plug a ?13 million The rise means the owner
:12:44. > :12:48.of an average band D property in Southend will pay an extra
:12:49. > :13:02.?60 a year. Last year they had an increase of
:13:03. > :13:03.?47 per year. The council is freezing the cost of car parking in
:13:04. > :13:08.the town to help. Still to come tonight,
:13:09. > :13:11.we talk to the defending champions on the eve of the World Indoor Bowls
:13:12. > :13:14.Competition. And a rare glimpse at how life
:13:15. > :13:23.was lived 3,000 years ago. If you travel to work by train,
:13:24. > :13:26.how was your journey today? Did you get a seat, was the service
:13:27. > :13:29.on time and is there anything Some believe the best way to improve
:13:30. > :13:35.the railways is to bring them back The Green MP, Caroline Lucas,
:13:36. > :13:39.who is also joint leader of the party, is trying
:13:40. > :13:42.to get that done. Tonight, she's at
:13:43. > :13:43.a meeting in Norwich. But first, this
:13:44. > :13:57.from Andrew Sinclair. With new franchises and new rolling
:13:58. > :14:02.stock on the way, there are signs that things are improving on the
:14:03. > :14:05.railways in the region. And topped to hardened commuters like these at
:14:06. > :14:11.Ipswich this morning and there is still a lot of unhappiness. Trains
:14:12. > :14:18.constantly late, delayed. It is hard. We have had a patchy service
:14:19. > :14:22.whatever the franchise. The confusion between different
:14:23. > :14:27.ticketing rates is really bad. And a lot of support from renationalise
:14:28. > :14:34.Asian. I would like that. At the moment things are not going as they
:14:35. > :14:40.should be going. If passenger train is full of computers -- commuters...
:14:41. > :14:44.This is our British rail liked to sell itself in the 80s but the
:14:45. > :14:50.reality for passengers was different, with old rolling stock
:14:51. > :14:53.and poor punctuality. The then MP for South Norfolk and Transport
:14:54. > :14:57.Secretary was one of the early advocate of privatisation. We have
:14:58. > :15:00.seen it happen in other injuries were -- industries were when you
:15:01. > :15:04.break away from the monolithic structure, you see big improvements.
:15:05. > :15:08.The result? Dozens of different companies running our trains.
:15:09. > :15:10.Supporters of privatisation say they have brought with them millions of
:15:11. > :15:17.pounds of investment, which the public purse could never have
:15:18. > :15:19.afforded. There two key benefits. The train operating companies are
:15:20. > :15:24.taking the risk. There is significant investment in our array
:15:25. > :15:29.line which we would not have seen otherwise. Over ?1 billion of new
:15:30. > :15:32.investment. Critics say the companies have been slow to make
:15:33. > :15:37.that investment and they point to the brief re-nationalisation of the
:15:38. > :15:42.East Coast line as proof that public ownership can work. Labour is also
:15:43. > :15:47.against privatisation. The local MP, Clive Lewis, will be at the meeting
:15:48. > :15:51.tonight. How much the public behind the campaign? Both parties made this
:15:52. > :15:52.a big issue at the last election and it didn't seem to win them many
:15:53. > :16:02.volts. -- volts. If it went back into public
:16:03. > :16:08.ownership, how would you pay to run it? First of all, let's be clear
:16:09. > :16:12.about the proposal. It isn't that overnight we were to take all the
:16:13. > :16:17.rail franchises back. If you were to do that it would be costly. What we
:16:18. > :16:22.suggest is that as the different franchises come up renewal, or if a
:16:23. > :16:27.contract is broken, at that point they are brought back into public
:16:28. > :16:33.ownership. To be honest, you would actually save money as a result. A
:16:34. > :16:37.fragmented rail service is a costly one. There are a couple of hundred
:16:38. > :16:42.people employed trying to work out which rail company is responsible
:16:43. > :16:46.from which bit of a delay when you are laid. Around ?1 billion could be
:16:47. > :16:51.saved by not having a fragmented system. Already the taxpayer is
:16:52. > :16:57.paying huge amounts. Let's keep that money into the system rather than
:16:58. > :17:03.have it siphoned off. Sometimes, you take the line here, 3.7 billion
:17:04. > :17:06.pounds is going in. Page to the government. The government is not
:17:07. > :17:11.paying them. That is money they wouldn't get? If you look over all
:17:12. > :17:14.you will see there is more money going in from the government in a
:17:15. > :17:20.privatised system than there was even in real terms in the three
:17:21. > :17:24.years of to privatisation. We need to challenge this idea that the
:17:25. > :17:27.current system is economically sensible. Anybody you have been
:17:28. > :17:31.talking to on your programme will tell you the phrase in this country
:17:32. > :17:36.has some of the most expensive in Europe. The services we get are some
:17:37. > :17:43.of the worst. It has been a policy of yours and labour. Neither of you
:17:44. > :17:46.seem to get any volts? Over a million people voted Green of the
:17:47. > :17:51.last election. People vote on a range of issues, not just on
:17:52. > :17:55.returning railing to public ownership. Every there is a on that
:17:56. > :18:02.issue, a majority of people recognise that they would be better
:18:03. > :18:05.off under public ownership. This is not a dewy eyed reflection of what
:18:06. > :18:13.British rail was like. That was not perfect. We are looking at some of
:18:14. > :18:18.the modern rail systems in other parts of Europe which are cheaper
:18:19. > :18:23.and more effective. Return to those Julie eyed dated -- days, and the
:18:24. > :18:28.reason they got rid of it was they couldn't afford to invest in it,
:18:29. > :18:31.wasn't it? I think they got rid of it because that was the ideological
:18:32. > :18:37.visitation of the Conservative Party then and now. More money is going in
:18:38. > :18:41.from the government into the rail system now than before
:18:42. > :18:46.privatisation. It is not the case the private companies have brought
:18:47. > :18:53.in lots of fresh investment. A thousand new carriages over this
:18:54. > :18:56.franchise in this region? The government is continuing to put
:18:57. > :19:02.money into the rail system, as are the passengers. I can challenge you
:19:03. > :19:05.on the overall rail system. More money is going in now after
:19:06. > :19:09.privatisation, from the government, that is going on before. A lot of
:19:10. > :19:13.that money is being siphoned off to the shareholders. We have the irony
:19:14. > :19:21.that there is state involvement in the rail system. The irony is it the
:19:22. > :19:25.state system from Holland, Germany, France, these people are investing
:19:26. > :19:28.in our railways, and the profit our passengers are putting in goes back
:19:29. > :19:29.to those countries. It makes no sense at all. Thank you.
:19:30. > :19:32.It's the start of the World Indoor Bowls Championship at Potters resort
:19:33. > :19:37.This year, the reigning champions in both the men and the women's
:19:38. > :19:54.Norfolk by the coast in January, always cold but also the guarantee
:19:55. > :19:59.of top-class sport. The world in the 's returns to Potters for a 19th
:20:00. > :20:03.successive year. -- the World Indoor Bowls Championship. And two
:20:04. > :20:08.Cambridge players are hoping for a successful defence. It is a hotbed
:20:09. > :20:14.of talent and there are lots of strong players within the country.
:20:15. > :20:21.It started with Greg Harlow. He has been great to Nikki and I over the
:20:22. > :20:29.years. So yes, it is good. We have other national players as well. The
:20:30. > :20:35.world number one. The world title had always eluded him, until last
:20:36. > :20:40.year. The game is a blur. I remember a couple of bowls here and there.
:20:41. > :20:46.This is what dreams are made of. I was fortunate enough last year to
:20:47. > :20:50.win my first world title. It means the world. Whatever sport you play,
:20:51. > :20:55.whatever your chosen sport, to be world champion doesn't get any
:20:56. > :21:00.better. Ellen was back on the carpet today getting a feel for it. She is
:21:01. > :21:07.now a three-time world champion. She beat Rebecca Field in the final. It
:21:08. > :21:11.is a really special place to play. Everybody wants to play here. It is
:21:12. > :21:16.on everyone's bucket list. If you are lucky enough to win the title,
:21:17. > :21:22.it is a memory that will stay with you forever. Can you defend it? Any
:21:23. > :21:26.player is capable of winning it. Everybody is of such a high calibre.
:21:27. > :21:31.It is about playing the big bowls at the right time and hoping things go
:21:32. > :21:35.your way. Time will tell. I will be trying four times as hard as last
:21:36. > :21:40.year. We will see in the next couple of weeks. The Championship starts
:21:41. > :21:44.tomorrow with the pairs. Both have some down time before the singles.
:21:45. > :21:46.But for any bowler, there is no better place to be them by the
:21:47. > :21:46.seaside. Some of the discoveries from one
:21:47. > :21:49.of the most important historical sites ever found in Britain have
:21:50. > :21:52.gone on display to the public. The site at Must Farm
:21:53. > :21:54.has been described as This is the site where
:21:55. > :21:57.it appears the homes were abandoned very suddenly
:21:58. > :22:00.because of a catastrophic fire. Archaeologists even found
:22:01. > :22:04.food left in bowls. So Must Farm can tell us a lot
:22:05. > :22:09.about everyday life 3,000 years ago. Today in Chatteris, people got
:22:10. > :22:23.to have a look for themselves. The aura of coming face-to-face with
:22:24. > :22:27.a way of life 3000 years old, preserved in incredible detail and
:22:28. > :22:33.pulling in the crowds. From a bowl still containing food residue, to
:22:34. > :22:39.individual fish scales. I think it is fascinating. I love the fact they
:22:40. > :22:44.have a whole village for us to see. It's marvellous to have so much
:22:45. > :22:47.here. Wonderful. It is very good to have this here in Chatteris so
:22:48. > :22:52.people know their background and where they come from. The artefacts
:22:53. > :22:58.have been found in Whittlesea just outside Peterborough. In the late
:22:59. > :23:03.Bronze Age, five wooden homes on stilts stood here above a river. But
:23:04. > :23:07.a devastating fire caused them to collapse into the water. It is
:23:08. > :23:11.thought those living there had to leave everything behind, which
:23:12. > :23:18.survived in the silt. A lot of the things we are finding, they are the
:23:19. > :23:26.best examples in England or Europe in many cases. It is a snapshot of a
:23:27. > :23:31.moment, a day in the life of the people. This is just a tiny sample
:23:32. > :23:36.of the artefacts discovered. Most are now undergoing complex
:23:37. > :23:40.scientific analysis. One of the most exciting things is an analysis of
:23:41. > :23:44.the food crusts found inside a lot of the pots. We will do a variety of
:23:45. > :23:48.different techniques on those to reconstruct what the meals were that
:23:49. > :23:56.were being eaten at the time of the fire. What is unique about this
:23:57. > :24:03.visit is the local museum... You can see the similarities with the one
:24:04. > :24:07.that was recently excavated. Today there have been reunited. The
:24:08. > :24:13.archaeologists invited here by Chatteris Museum to allow local
:24:14. > :24:18.people to travel back in time to a community we now know used a sickle
:24:19. > :24:24.to harvest crops, and eight Pike for one of theirs -- their last meals.
:24:25. > :24:32.I just find that fascinating. So much to learn. And we shall learn
:24:33. > :24:36.about the weather now. Lots of wintry weather to content
:24:37. > :24:42.with. Sleet and snow settling across the region. A couple of photographs
:24:43. > :24:47.have just come in. A couple of scenes in Essex. You can see that
:24:48. > :24:51.snow has settled there in the last 30 minutes. It has all slowed down a
:24:52. > :24:56.little bit. An area of low pressure has brought heavy rain. The Met
:24:57. > :25:02.office has issued a weather warning for our part of the country for snow
:25:03. > :25:06.and ice. Ice will be a major hazard as temperatures fall away. This is
:25:07. > :25:09.the area of low pressure responsible. It has brought
:25:10. > :25:15.outbreaks across the region today. That rain has turned heavier. It is
:25:16. > :25:20.being undercut by a cold blast of dried Arctic air. Those temperatures
:25:21. > :25:25.are plummeting. This was the last couple of hours. It is mainly
:25:26. > :25:31.falling as rain are fewer hours ago. It is now turning to sleet and snow.
:25:32. > :25:34.It is possible we will get some accumulations. Initially it is
:25:35. > :25:41.falling on wet ground, so not really settling. Some accumulation is our
:25:42. > :25:44.already in evidence. As we go through the night, further
:25:45. > :25:49.accumulation is possible. It does clear eastwards by the end of the
:25:50. > :25:55.night. The major hazard for tonight will be ice. Temperatures are
:25:56. > :26:01.expected to get below freezing. It will be a hazard on untreated
:26:02. > :26:05.surfaces. A brisk wind from the north-west. That would be a feature
:26:06. > :26:08.of the weather tomorrow. That will bring some hazards, particularly for
:26:09. > :26:15.coastal areas. Low pressure coming down from the North. That is likely
:26:16. > :26:21.to bring some snow showers to Eastern counties, Norfolk, Suffolk
:26:22. > :26:25.and Essex, during rush hour. Also, a strong north-westerly wind
:26:26. > :26:30.developing, near gale force, on the coast. That is likely to coincide
:26:31. > :26:37.with high tide. We have a Met Office yellow warning out for wind through
:26:38. > :26:41.tomorrow. Those winds could peak of around 50 mph gusts, peaking around
:26:42. > :26:46.lunchtime and into the afternoon. They will also coincide with those
:26:47. > :26:54.high tides on coastal areas in Essex and Suffolk. A bitterly cold day. So
:26:55. > :27:00.many things to content with. Three or four Celsius our high. The winds
:27:01. > :27:04.easing as we get to the end of the day. Eventually it does start to
:27:05. > :27:10.calm down. A lot of dry and bright weather tomorrow. Snow showers in
:27:11. > :27:13.the north-east. Another cold night. As we look ahead, high pressure
:27:14. > :27:18.building in. Slightly less cold by the end of the weekend and slightly
:27:19. > :27:24.more calm conditions. Here is the outlook. Cold for the next few days.
:27:25. > :27:26.Strong winds, sleet, snow, ice. The full set!
:27:27. > :27:29.Don't forget you can keep up to date on all the latest developments
:27:30. > :27:32.with the weather and travel situation by listening to your BBC
:27:33. > :27:37.local radio station and checking out your local BBC website.
:27:38. > :27:41.Thanks for your company. See you tomorrow.
