Hello and welcome to Look East, on the day that staff | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
here at Chelmsford Prison are heavily criticised | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for their role in the suicide of vulnerable young man. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Dean Saunders killed himself at the jail after staff | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The report says, "the criminal justice system did too | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
little to protect this very vulnerable man". | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Today, I've been speaking to Dean's parents. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
Also in tonight's programme: The Government unveils | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
its new industrial strategy, with the focus on | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Long-awaited plans to widen the A12 in Essex are finally unveiled. | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
Current boss 3, old boss 1 - a welcome win for Norwich City | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
First tonight, the catalogue of failures that led to the death | :00:43. | :01:05. | |
of a prisoner in the medical wing here at Chelmsford goal. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
On Friday, an inquest jury ruled that Dean Saunders had been | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
let down by Care UK - the private company that | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Today, a damning report from the Prison Ombudsman too. | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
He said Mr Saunders was "seriously mentally ill". | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
He should have been in hospital and not in a prison. | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
Dean Saunders was 25 when he died in Chelmsford prison | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
He had no history of mental health problems, but had | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Mr Saunders became paranoid and delusional. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
When he tried to take his own life with a knife, he also | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
attacked his brother and injured his father. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
He was charged with attempted murder and sent to Chelmsford on remand. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
It was here that Mr Saunders was placed on suicide watch, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
but later a decision was made to reduce his observations, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
despite his family begging the authorities not to take him | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Just days later, Dean Saunders took his own life. | :02:09. | :02:24. | |
There are 730 prisoners inside Chelmsford prison, or thereabouts, | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
tonight. The records show that there | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
have been 14 suicides Robbie West now on how the prison | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
system missed chance after chance September 2015, Dean Saunders at | :02:40. | :02:58. | |
opening presents on his son's birthday. Months later he was an | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Chelmsford prison. Today, reporting to his death criticised almost every | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
aspect of his carer. The investigation by the prison and | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
probation ombudsman concluded that the criminal justice system did too | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
little to protect this very vulnerable man. Temp two was at high | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
risk of suicide when he arrived at Chelmsford. There are a number of | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
weaknesses in the way this was managed. The report goes on to say | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
the prison was not an appropriate place for him. In the inquest into | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
his death, they find that health care staff did not understand that | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
processes for transferring mentally ill prisoners. No one took any | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
action for him to call his family and the people who took off constant | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
watch were not medically qualified. The health care in the prison was | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
run by Kerry UK. Just last week the report by an independent monitoring | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
board raise concerns about the running of the health and by the | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
company. The health care provision was seen to be inadequate. Kerry UK | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
are going to quit the contract at the prison. Fights nearly every day. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
The fights in the queue to get into medical. People saying, my needs are | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
better than yours. Some people were itching to get their medication. It | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
just takes off. There have been 14 suicides at Chelmsford since 2007, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
each leading to a report like today's. The prison system in a | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
whole is in complete breakdown and the problems at Chelmsford are | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
symptomatic of that. Too few staff, too many prisoners means prisoners | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
are locked up for too long, they don't get educational training. In | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Chelmsford there is problems of health care, which is privately run. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
It is a problem for prisoners, staff and then for the public and victims | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
of crime. The Ministry of Justice accepts there were serious failings | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
around the care Dean and says it has increased implemented improvements. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Dean's family say they are keeping a close eye on things to monitor these | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
Dean Saunders's parents had never been near a prison until Dean went | :05:04. | :05:21. | |
here. They believe that so many mistakes have been made and they | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
have been campaigning. Today I went to see them and we talked about many | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
things, but we started up the moment that Dean, he had never had any | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
mental illness, until the day he attacked his father. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
He got up off the city to take play tight when we had just beaten and he | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
came back with a knife went to attack his brother. It took me a few | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
seconds to realise was happening. I rugby tackled him and he stood up | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
and they said to him, Dean, what is going on in question might he looked | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
at me and said, he has changed a dad. It has changed. He mentally? | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
Yes, he met Lee had changed. He said, you have changed and he | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
sidestepped bus and went back out into the kitchen, picked up another | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
night. This is due a perfectly happy son the day before. What to do think | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
was going on? I just didn't know. I didn't have a clue. I was scared for | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
him. I just wanted somebody to help them. When you discovered that there | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
were only monitoring him every 30 minutes rather than constant | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
monitoring, what did you think? I was absolutely mortified. I said to | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
them, you can't do that, he will kill himself. We had gone in at that | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
point when we find out that this only were having the meeting with | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
them after the visit that hadn't gone well. They said, he is fine, we | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
are building trust with them. I said, you're not building your | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
trust, he has just sat there describing a room with gas canisters | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and a cherrywood straps and he thinks you're going to do a live | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
autopsy on him. When think about Dean sitting there in that cell. It | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
breaks my heart. Absolutely breaks my heart. I said Tamara, why didn't | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
we save him at home? He would have been with people who loved him. He | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
would've been surrounded by his family, not shot away thinking | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
nobody care for him. He suffered for another 14 days, to die in a cell on | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
his own. And he did suffer. What did they do for him? Nothing. No | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
medication. He was getting no comfort, no love, no phone calls. No | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
medication, nothing. I just feel they took away all of his human | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
rights, stuck in a cell and let them today. Mark, the last you saw him? | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
That was at home when I was trying to stop him from taking his life. I | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
could never speak to him again because of the injuries, that put me | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
on the other side of the fence, they have made me her victim, so they | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
couldn't have contact with him. I just wanted to tell him that I | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
understood, he was ill and I understood how I got hurt. They know | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
it wasn't him, he didn't mean it, I love him and I never got the chance. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
And he never got the chance to see Teddy walk. No. No, he was so | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
looking forward to that opportunity, to be able to run around and play | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
football with him. His little one started walking two days after he | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
went, he just missed out. Has this made any difference to you | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
that everybody has find out that lots of people let you down? It | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
hasn't brought him back. That's it. I can't change anything for us, it | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
is too late for us, but it is not too late for the next Dean that goes | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
in there. The next Dean that goes in the May be able to come out alive if | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
they seriously try to learn lessons rather than just saying they have. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Has anybody from the prison come to you and said that they are sorry? | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
No. They made its statement. To be honest, we have been lied to so much | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
by all of the staff in the prison it would mean to me. Both of you, thank | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
you. Deborah Coles is the director | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
of Inquest, a charity which supports families of those | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
who die in custody. I asked her about this case and what | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
it says about the prison service as a whole. Well, I think it is an | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
absolute scandal that Dean Saunders ever ended up in prison in the first | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
place and I think it raises bigger questions than just his treatment at | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Chelmsford, which, quite frankly, I think the jury and J at this | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
brilliantly in the finding, his death was as a result of neglect and | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
there were gross failings in his care, but it started with the | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
decision to criminalise somebody who was mentally ill. He never should | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
have ended up in the criminal justice system. He should have been | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
sent to her mental health facility where he could of been looked after | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
by professionals. And what can we do to make sure that this does not | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
happen again in the future? I think the big question is, Dean Saunders | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
was one of 113 prisoners who took their lives last year in prison to | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
run the country. That is the highest number of deaths ever recorded. It | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
is alarming and an unacceptable death toll in our prisons. The | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
government has simply got to act because if they don't do something, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
then we know that sadly, Dean will not be the last person to die, and | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
he will be until we dramatically reduced the prison population we | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
invest in mental health facilities so that people like Dean Saunders | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
don't end up in prisons that cannot keep them safe. One of the issues in | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
this particular case was that bed was not available for him a secure | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
hospital, so he couldn't have gone. Well, I think that raises two | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
issues. One are questions about how much robust searching there was for | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
an alternative to prison, but also it does point to what is well | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
documented, and that is really shocking lack of investment in | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
mental health services around the country. We see the same issues | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
being raised time and time again. That is down to a failure by | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
government, by ministers in all the relative departments, to act then | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
translate the learning into practice. Thank you very much. | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
We do have a statement from the Ministry of Justice tonight. They | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
say the Ministry of Justice told us that the safety of people in custody | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
was the top priority, but recognised that there were significant failings | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
in this case. John Tripp is and has already put in place a number of | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
mergers are better support people with mental health problems and it | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
will certainly carefully consider the findings of the inquest. One | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
other thing that came up during the course of that interview, they have | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
confirmed that Craig Royce was the person who died in Chelmsford prison | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
here on Christmas Day. That's it from Chelmsford Prison, | :13:10. | :13:10. | |
back now to the studio and Susie. The Science Minister says | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
the Government's new industrial strategy will particularly benefit | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
this region with its emphasis on supporting science, | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
research and innovation. He came to Norwich to unveil | :13:19. | :13:19. | |
the new policy, which could see millions of pounds of investment | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
coming to our science parks. In the new Leaf Laboratory | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
at the Norwich Research Park, the Science Minister learns how | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
plants are producing proteins, This is where the next cure | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
for Ebola or Zika could be found and it's because of research | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
like this that the Government is upgrading the role of science | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
in post-Brexit Britain. We are world class at science, | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
but you've got to continue to invest in your science base | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
to stay world class. We always said we would put science | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
and innovation at the heart of the industrial strategy | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
and today, with the publication of this important Green Paper, | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
we can see we've done just that. The growth of the Norwich Research | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Park is proof that science has been getting a higher profile | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
in recent years. Putting it at the top | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
of this new industrial Ministers see a sector | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
were Britain can excel, so there will be extra funding, | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
less regulation and ministers will fight for new deals | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
to drive up exports. There will also be bigger attempts | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
to ensure that scientific discoveries get the help they need | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
to become commercial successes. There is something that is generally | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
known as the 'Valley of Death' between pure research | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
and its translation, where investment has probably been | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
less than it might have been But this new strategy | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
isn't just about science. There's a promise to | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
upgrade infrastructure, like roads and broadbands, | :14:52. | :14:52. | |
support for low carbon energy, There will also be a push for more | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
schools which specialise in maths and science - | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
an attempts to produce This sixth form in Norwich | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
is one of the first. They'll all find themselves | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
in exactly the same classes, they will follow each other | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
throughout the day, which means their study periods | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
will be the same, as well. We'll find that they almost | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
breed their own community of students and they build | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
on their aspirations. Today was about the Government's | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
vision for the future. Now it has to deliver, | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
but if it can, the East seems well placed to benefit | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
from the new industrial strategy. What has been the wider reaction | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
to this announcement? It has been broadly welcomed by the | :15:35. | :15:46. | |
business community that says scientist something we are good at | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
and it has the potential to drive the post-Brexit economy. Labour are | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
also been supportive. The spokesman said today that science has been | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
underfunded for many years so any extra money is welcome. Some | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
scientists have pointed out that to succeed they will need a good | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
principle yield, they will need to be able to recruit the right staff, | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
take part in the right projects. This industrial strategy has the | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
potential to be very good for us, but it all depends on those Brexit | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Still to come tonight: Jules will be here with the weather, | :16:20. | :16:24. | |

A confidential report investigating the suspension | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
of the Chief Fire Officer in Essex appears to have cleared | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
David Johnson has been off work on full pay since April 2015. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Now BBC Essex has obtained a document that examines 11 | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
This exclusive report is from Samantha Dalton. | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
21 months and still not able to return to work. David Johnson's | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
future as Essex's chief fire officer remains unclear, despite a report | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
which seems to find no evidence of misconduct. In the report we learned | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
that Essex Fire authority commissioned a leading barrister to | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
investigate 11 allegations against David Johnson. Four people were | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
interviewed and expense of documents reviewed. Among the allegations were | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
that Mr Johnson's book luxury accommodation instead of budget | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
accommodation for a conference and feel to given up notice of booking | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
annual leave. The report concludes that none of the allegations against | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
him could be established. They have done an investigation. They have | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
barrister to look at it and there is no case to answer. She prodded | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
things come to light future down the line, if there is a reason to | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
discipline someone then they should be disciplined. If there is no | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
reason to be disciplined, then the need to be back in the workplace. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
How can we be in a position where we are funding to me what appears to be | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
a bit of fun indulgence for someone to prove something that they can't | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
prove or are unable to provide the evidence to prove it, whilst we are | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
having people losing their life because of fire. It is an appalling | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
situation. As a taxpayer I am angry. As a politician, I'm furious. I will | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
be writing to the Essex Fire Brigade today demanding an explanation. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Essex Fire authority says that the report is not the only piece of | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
evidence against Mr Johnson and legal representatives on both sides | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
are working to drop the matter to conclusion, adding that the | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
investigation has taken longer than anyone would like but the authority | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
has a responsibility to ensure due process is followed. Unions | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
understand that Mr Johnson will face a disciplinary hearing next month. | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Plans to widen the A12 in Essex have been unveiled by Highways England. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
The plan is for three lanes each way between Chelmsford and Marks Tey. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Tricky conditions for drivers braving the A12 | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
The fog contributed to accidents and delays during this | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Drivers who are unfortunate enough to have to use this road every day | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
say even the slightest prang can cause long, long tailbacks. | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
Welcome, everyone, to the launch of the A12 widening. | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
That's why this Highways England briefing on improving | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
the A12 was welcomed by many of the councillors and | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
A 19-mile stretch between Chelmsford and Colchester is being widened. | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
There are 90,000 vehicles per day in peak time. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
From today, the public is being as for its views | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
They include making the existing A12 three lanes in both | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
directions between Boreham, near Chelmsford, and Marks Tey | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
on the edge of Colchester, or a combination of widening | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
the road and building one or two bypasses. | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
The road is in excess of capacity most of the days these days and, | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
clearly, there is a need to desperately improve that. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
If the existing A12 was widened, some homes may have to be | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
The A12 is at the bottom of the garden. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
Chris Long, who lives in Rivenhall, is hoping for a bypass. | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Yes, there are alternatives which are far better options | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
than obviously demolishing 20 people's homes and | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
The preferred option will be decided in the summer. | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Highways England hopes that work will start by 2020. | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
It has emerged that thousands of people in this region | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
are being targeted by fraudsters, using a so-called suckers list . | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Data obtained by the BBC shows details of more | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
than 6,000 people from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk are on the list. | :21:02. | :21:16. | |
Donald Ellis from side is 82, retired gas engineer. He has been | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
targeted by scammers for the past ten years. I have had letters saying | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
sent ?40. He has seen it all, every kind of fraudulent meal and bogus | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
phone calls from all over the world, France, Germany, Spain, Morocco, | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Australia. People phone you up and say you have a parcel. They say, you | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
have a parcel, you sent us the wrong PIN number. I said I have never sent | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
you my PIN number, but they say we need it now to pay the ?25. I say, I | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
don't want it, I haven't ordered anything. Donald is getting help | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
from a group called turning tides in Southend. They work with the police, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
trading standards and the local council to advise elderly scam | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
victims had to stay safe. The people being targeted again readily believe | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
that the scams aren't fake, they will win that ?50,000, they will | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
treat themselves to a holiday, maybe buy themselves a new car. But | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
clearly that isn't the case. Figures from the National audit of the show | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
that the average age of a victim of so-called mass marketing fraud is | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
74. The average loss per victim is ?4500 and there is a 30% chance of a | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
scam victim falling for another scan within a year. Donald Ellis has | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
learned the hard way, but he has some advice for anyone who wants to | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
listen. I am telling older people just hang up on them. Don't send | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
your PIN number. They tried to mentally wear you down. Just be | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
careful and don't be sucked in by it, you know? | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
Football now and Southend have sacked their head groundsman | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
after Saturday's match was postponed because of a frozen pitch. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town's dreadful week ended in defeat | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
to Huddersfield, keeping the pressure on their manager. | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
But Norwich earned a much-needed win, as Tom Williams reports. | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
He's a man under the microscope, in the spotlight. | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
Every decision scrutinised, every performance picked apart. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
Saturday's 3-1 win, for now, keeps the Wolves at bay. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
I thought it was really good, actually, | :23:35. | :23:35. | |
I thought it took a long while for the crowd to get | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
into things, and understandably so after the recent weeks. | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
But I thought the professionalism and the way the players dealt | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
with that, and the desire, grit and determination | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
they showed is something we haven't seen for a while. | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
Norwich needed it, up against their former | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
Defeat would have been unthinkable, for many fans too much to take, | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
but goals from Naismith, Brady and Howson gave City a second | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
That's four wins from their last five home games, keeping them | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
Effectively, the signal from inside the club was, | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
we are going to have a really good crack at promotion. | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
Now, it's not acceptable, really, to see the situation | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
Five points out of the play-offs, mid-table, eight defeats | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
That's probably where a lot of the anger and frustration has | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
come from the supporters and Alex Neil himself | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
would be the first to say he is probably fortunate | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
Has time passed for a change of manager? | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
I think it has, in terms of the transfer window now | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
because if you get rid of your manager now, | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
They will still will have a decent squad, but they wouldn't be able | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
to bring anybody in, so it would be a tough one, | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
but I think the club have backed the manager and we all have | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
to accept that and we all want him to do well. | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
No letup for Mick McCarthy at Ipswich. | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
Embarrassed by non-league Lincoln last week, his side put up a fight | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
against high-flying Huddersfield, but they were beaten | :24:53. | :24:53. | |
Some tough fixtures coming up and, with Town lying 14th | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
in the Championship, McCarthy knows he needs victories | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
It was fast and frock to start the day for some of us today. In some | :25:00. | :25:19. | |
places that fog really lingered, with temperatures struggling to get | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
above freezing. There were some breaks in the cloud this afternoon | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
and where we had the sun we had highs of six Celsius. This cloud | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
will move eastwards overnight tonight, perhaps producing a little | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
bit of light rain and drizzle but for most of us are dry night and a | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
cold one. The temperatures will fluctuate, but already in some spots | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
we have -1 1-2 , we could see minus five degrees through the night. We | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
are expecting widespread fog, and that could be freezing fog so there | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
is a yellow warning in place until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning for some | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
potentially difficult travelling conditions. Some of the fog could | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
linger tomorrow through the day. Perhaps not everywhere and some of | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
us will be lucky to see the fog eventually clearing and some | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
sunshine coming through, although it is likely to be hazy sunshine. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
Temperatures again, when we get the sun highs of six, where we get the | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
fog. Around freezing. We finished the day under clear skies, but the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
frost and fog will reform. Weather the Baha'i migrates further | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
eastwards and the wind should pick up little bit so some frost and fog | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
to start on Wednesday but hopefully that should clear more baby because | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
of the wind and most of us will see it disappear completely and it could | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
be some brightness. On Thursday, the high pressure is even further to the | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
east that we start to get a flow of air of the continent that is very | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
cold. Although we expect quite a lot of sunshine on Thursday it will feel | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
better, highs of only three Celsius and feeling colder in the wind. | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
Friday, perhaps a little bursts -- a little less cold but still chilly, | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
dry with some brightness at times. Looking ahead to next weekend, dry | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
with sunny spells, still holding onto cold nights with some localised | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
frost and perhaps a return of the mist and fog, too. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
That is all from us. Have a good evening, see you tomorrow night. | :27:18. | :27:18. | |
Goodbye. | :27:19. | :27:21. |
