:00:00. > :00:11.Hello and welcome to Look East. and now on BBC One, let's

:00:12. > :00:14.In the programme tonight: troops from this region could soon be

:00:15. > :00:16.heading to Estonia to help the UK stand against "Russian aggression".

:00:17. > :00:18.Calls to stop people with disabilities being treated

:00:19. > :00:27.We've got mines and brains and we don't need to be talked down to. We

:00:28. > :00:30.are still here, we are still people -- minds.

:00:31. > :00:35.Getting ready for the Commonwealth Games.

:00:36. > :00:38.And why a ground-breaking musical has come to Cambridge before the

:00:39. > :00:47.West End. Troops from this region have been

:00:48. > :00:50.getting ready to be part of the biggest military deployment

:00:51. > :00:54.to Europe since the end Soldiers from the UK began arriving

:00:55. > :01:01.in Estonia last month. Part of what the government's

:01:02. > :01:03.described as a deterrent And today, as hundreds

:01:04. > :01:06.of troops from this region were on their biggest

:01:07. > :01:09.training exercise of the year, it's emerged that they are likely

:01:10. > :01:12.to be heading there, too. 16 Air Assault is the army's

:01:13. > :01:15.rapid reaction force. Leigh Milner has been watching them

:01:16. > :01:28.train today in Suffolk and Norfolk. And just handing in the middle of

:01:29. > :01:32.the training ground, surrounded by 80 or so soldiers who have just

:01:33. > :01:37.disappeared beyond the trees. All afternoon they have been falling

:01:38. > :01:42.from 100 feet in the sky as part of an exercise and what the display we

:01:43. > :01:47.have had. To see the Hercules along the skyline as they drop one by one

:01:48. > :01:53.in a line, you can actually hear them calling to each other, over the

:01:54. > :01:56.huge engine of the Hercules. This exercise we have been invited to, we

:01:57. > :02:00.have been able to watch as the day unfolds.

:02:01. > :02:07.Preparing to jump from 800 feet in the sky, these soldiers from the 2nd

:02:08. > :02:12.Battalion Parachute Regiment are part of the 16 aerosol the grade,

:02:13. > :02:21.the British Army's rapid response unit -- 16 air assault. Family jumps

:02:22. > :02:30.at the done? Only four. This will be my fifth. -- how many. Are you

:02:31. > :02:33.nervous? Yes, you are nervous, but looking forward to it. Trained to be

:02:34. > :02:38.deployed any time anywhere they are about to fly 39 miles to Thetford

:02:39. > :02:47.for a fictional yet credible scenario. It is a country that looks

:02:48. > :02:51.like the UK and we have been asked to come in because they have a

:02:52. > :02:55.problem with insurgency terrorists and their police forces do not have

:02:56. > :02:58.the Billy Kee to deal with those insurgents and so they have gone to

:02:59. > :03:05.a third party -- they do not have the ability to deal with. Today's

:03:06. > :03:10.mission is part of the three-week exercise which takes place twice a

:03:11. > :03:13.year, testing how the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force work

:03:14. > :03:18.together with Allied forces. Only last month the first of 800 UK

:03:19. > :03:22.troops were sent to Estonia as part of Nato's response to concerns over

:03:23. > :03:27.Russia, and these soldiers training today could be next. We are one of

:03:28. > :03:31.the high readiness response forces and so we could go anywhere that the

:03:32. > :03:35.government would like us to go and we train for all contingencies and

:03:36. > :03:40.we could go to Estonia, Africa, the Middle East, anywhere that is

:03:41. > :03:47.completely unexpected. Above the training ground soldiers are closing

:03:48. > :03:51.in. And here it comes. The Hercules. This aircraft can carry up to 80

:03:52. > :03:55.personnel which is double the amount of a helicopter and it can go a lot

:03:56. > :04:02.further, as well, travelling up to 1000 miles at the sign, exactly what

:04:03. > :04:09.you need when transporting a rapid response force -- at a time. One by

:04:10. > :04:13.one they jump, 800 feet above the drop zone which stretches a couple

:04:14. > :04:17.of kilometres from north to south, and as soon as they touch the ground

:04:18. > :04:23.they pack away their parachutes and head towards the shelter of the

:04:24. > :04:25.trees. I've been told that the last couple of soldiers have touched

:04:26. > :04:32.ground and the Hercules are heading back to base. But what a display

:04:33. > :04:37.behind me, a couple of helicopter tall now heading back to base which

:04:38. > :04:39.will start again at eight o'clock tonight -- helicopters now heading

:04:40. > :04:43.back. Thanks for joining us. Campaigners in this region say

:04:44. > :04:45.people with disabilities are still being treated

:04:46. > :04:47.as second class citizens. 20 years after the Disability

:04:48. > :04:49.Discrimination Act was passed. A new report by the Equality

:04:50. > :04:51.and Human Rights Commission says disabled people are more likely

:04:52. > :04:55.to be affected by poverty, get paid a lower wage,

:04:56. > :04:57.and have poor life chances. This from our Suffolk

:04:58. > :05:07.reporter Kevin Burch. Linda Bowles has MS and her husband

:05:08. > :05:10.is a full-time carer. They remain positive and resilient

:05:11. > :05:13.despite the unexpected obstacles People talking on mobile phones

:05:14. > :05:18.as they walk and they don't And they more or less

:05:19. > :05:27.sit on her head. And then they go, "Oh, sorry",

:05:28. > :05:30.and pat me on the head. And I've had so many

:05:31. > :05:32.strangers pat me on the head. Which is really demeaning,

:05:33. > :05:34.because they wouldn't They used to run pubs

:05:35. > :05:38.but the diagnosis 17 years Just getting around and getting

:05:39. > :05:43.access and getting on holiday now can be complex and for so many

:05:44. > :05:45.in their situation, For us it has really

:05:46. > :05:51.affected my retirement future because I gave up a pensioned job

:05:52. > :05:55.to look after Linda and that affects you and you end up spending your

:05:56. > :05:58.savings which we did For them, no surprises in this

:05:59. > :06:10.new report, the general feeling progress on equality hasn't just

:06:11. > :06:12.stalled, in many ways it This government has got to realise

:06:13. > :06:21.there is a lot of untapped potential amongst disabled people

:06:22. > :06:22.and that we are useful And we have a very rich

:06:23. > :06:28.part to play in society. So it's a matter of education,

:06:29. > :06:31.I think, as much as anything else. The government says it is committed

:06:32. > :06:33.to making things better, adding in the last year alone almost

:06:34. > :06:36.300,000 disabled people We've got minds and brains and we

:06:37. > :06:55.don't need to be talked down to. We are still here,

:06:56. > :07:03.we are still people. And if you are aware of what your

:07:04. > :07:10.saying, make life a bit easier. She questions whether that is really too

:07:11. > :07:13.much to ask, in this day and age, it surely can't be.

:07:14. > :07:15.Let's speak to Ruby Blyth Smith from Norfolk.

:07:16. > :07:19.She's 21 years old and has lost 85% of her vision.

:07:20. > :07:29.That is why you have your lovely guide dog. Do you ever feel you are

:07:30. > :07:36.ever treated like a second-class citizen? Yes, sadly, predominant by

:07:37. > :07:39.the general public, nobody I know would treat me like that, but I have

:07:40. > :07:46.had issues in the workplace and at university. What kind of issues?

:07:47. > :07:52.What do people say or do? The one I get the most, you don't look like a

:07:53. > :07:56.man that is because I'm younger and because I look a certain way, and

:07:57. > :08:04.people say you can't do your make-up, you are not blind if you

:08:05. > :08:07.can do that kind of thing. The worst one is people assuming that I don't

:08:08. > :08:13.need the guide dog and I have her for what ever reason. People are

:08:14. > :08:18.actually accusing you? Yeah, or at least exaggerating, which is

:08:19. > :08:23.strange, because I would rather be in any other position than the one

:08:24. > :08:27.I'm in. When you started to lose your vision you hid it for quite a

:08:28. > :08:32.while, from your friends. I did not want to be any different from them,

:08:33. > :08:35.knowing how disabled people are treated I worried that what happens

:08:36. > :08:40.me, but since having the guide dog I can't hide it any more. She is a big

:08:41. > :08:45.beacon to show that I'm disabled. My friends and everybody, they have

:08:46. > :08:50.been very accepting and I wish I'd been more open about it previously.

:08:51. > :08:56.Having the guide dog is a positive thing. But you say sometimes it was

:08:57. > :09:00.attention away from you because everyone makes a beeline for the

:09:01. > :09:03.dog. People remember the guide dog which is nice because I love her to

:09:04. > :09:08.pieces, but people forget there is a person behind her. And I have good

:09:09. > :09:12.qualities, I'm intelligent and I think I've got good things to say.

:09:13. > :09:21.But they just remember the guide dog. You want to study to be a

:09:22. > :09:25.lawyer. Have you always wanted that? Before I lost my site I did not

:09:26. > :09:31.really have a direction as to where I was going, and I did a variety of

:09:32. > :09:36.things like health and social care and hairdressing, but when I lost my

:09:37. > :09:40.site I felt I had a greater purpose, to influence and help other people

:09:41. > :09:44.mostly, to educate, and make them more aware. And I want to go into

:09:45. > :09:47.I'm environmental law because that is somewhere where I feel I can be

:09:48. > :09:51.put to good use. That sounds fantastic. Well done for everything

:09:52. > :09:54.that you're doing and to your studies. Thank you very much. Thanks

:09:55. > :10:17.for coming in. Two men who were accused

:10:18. > :10:20.of the attempted rape and kidnap of a woman in Ipswich have pleaded

:10:21. > :10:23.not guilty to the charges The woman was attacked and left

:10:24. > :10:40.unconscious in a car park George Hari Constan-tinescu

:10:41. > :10:44.and Danut George The Duchess of Cambridge

:10:45. > :10:52.is attending the opening of a West End musical this evening

:10:53. > :10:56.as part of her role as the patron of The charity is trying to raise

:10:57. > :11:00.?10 million to build She will be joined at the opening

:11:01. > :11:04.of 42nd Street by young people who have benefited

:11:05. > :11:06.from the charity's work. The musical stars

:11:07. > :11:07.singer Sheena Easton. Each has outgrown its current

:11:08. > :11:09.Norfolk hospice in Quidenham. The Old Cottage Hospital

:11:10. > :11:12.in Southwold could soon be getting But no decision has been

:11:13. > :11:16.made about its future. Now a group called

:11:17. > :11:19."Save Our Southwold" wants to buy it and turn it into low cost homes,

:11:20. > :11:25.a public library, and Weeds are growing around the front

:11:26. > :11:28.door of South Ward Hospital, the doctors and nurses and patients are

:11:29. > :11:30.all long gone, but the fight to keep it for the community is only just

:11:31. > :11:33.beginning. This is the old building which is the 1903 ordering. Lawrence

:11:34. > :11:36.is the chair of save our Southwold, which would like to turn it into a

:11:37. > :11:38.community cafe and a library. It was built by the community for the

:11:39. > :11:43.community and we continue to subsidise it and expand it, even way

:11:44. > :11:50.after the time when the NHS took it over in 1948. The site is still

:11:51. > :11:57.owned by the NHS, and in a statement NHS property services told us:

:11:58. > :12:04.the fear for the campaign is that the old hospital might become more

:12:05. > :12:06.second homes. And the group is hoping to access a government grant

:12:07. > :12:13.designed to provide more affordable housing in towns like Southwold. 59%

:12:14. > :12:19.of properties are owned by people with second homes. The money that is

:12:20. > :12:22.available which is ?684,000 can have a significant impact on that,

:12:23. > :12:29.through delivering much more affordable housing. The hospital was

:12:30. > :12:34.opened in 1903 but by 2015 it was part of an NHS reorganisation and

:12:35. > :12:39.despite organisation the hospital closed. So the big question now, how

:12:40. > :12:45.much is the whole hospital work? -- old. If it was to be sold for

:12:46. > :12:49.housing would be worth a huge amount of money, but we don't know how much

:12:50. > :12:52.it is worth at the moment and we are seeking advice on that. There is a

:12:53. > :12:55.public meeting to discuss the future of the hospital, in the town, on

:12:56. > :13:18.April the 20th. And, a year until Australia: getting

:13:19. > :13:34.ready for the Commonwealth games. Eople often think of autism

:13:35. > :13:36.as something that usually But lots of women

:13:37. > :13:43.and girls are autistic Experts say females with autism

:13:44. > :13:47.can present differently Laura James is a successful

:13:48. > :13:50.writer from Norfolk. And a happily married

:13:51. > :13:51.mother of four. She was diagnosed with autism

:13:52. > :13:54.just two years ago. She's now written a book

:13:55. > :14:03.called Odd Girl Out This is where Laura feels

:14:04. > :14:05.comfortable, writing in her home. I love researching and learning things

:14:06. > :14:08.and I'm obsessed with facts, and if I come across something I want to

:14:09. > :14:16.know everything about it. If it's box my interest. I like doing

:14:17. > :14:21.solitary things. -- if it's box. Her autism makes a simple shopping

:14:22. > :14:25.expedition almost unbearable. The low ceiling and the shiny floors

:14:26. > :14:28.makes me feel slightly dizzy, and then I can hear every single noise,

:14:29. > :14:35.so I can hear the buzzing of that fridge and the things being run

:14:36. > :14:40.through the till, I can hear snatches of conversation. Everything

:14:41. > :14:44.is just kind of overloading my senses and I can't separate out

:14:45. > :14:47.those noises. Then you have something like the yoghurt and there

:14:48. > :14:51.are so many different yoghurt scum and if I don't know what I want and

:14:52. > :14:56.it is hidden, I become overwhelmed -- there are so many different

:14:57. > :15:01.yoghurts. I become overwhelmed by how many yoghurts there are in the

:15:02. > :15:04.world. She had spent her life feeling different and was diagnosed

:15:05. > :15:08.with autism at the age of 45. Despite being bright she could not

:15:09. > :15:12.do exams and despite a successful career and marriage and four

:15:13. > :15:17.children she lives with a sense of unease and a need for order and

:15:18. > :15:20.predictability. I have to think in advance of where I'm going to go and

:15:21. > :15:25.so I think my way around the aisles and I have to have a list and I need

:15:26. > :15:29.to tick it off in order, but sometimes there is the thing called

:15:30. > :15:32.autistic inertia, where people have the need to do something but they

:15:33. > :15:37.become paralysed in the moment and can't do it. I have gone to a

:15:38. > :15:40.supermarket and sat in the car for an hour, trying to psyche myself up

:15:41. > :15:47.and not being able to and going home. Tom works for the National

:15:48. > :15:52.Autistic Society and he hopes that Laura's openness about her autism

:15:53. > :15:57.will improve people's understanding. There is a huge awareness of autism

:15:58. > :16:01.but not a week understanding of what it means on a day-to-day basis for

:16:02. > :16:08.autistic people, so what we need is more examples being put out of

:16:09. > :16:12.people's day-to-day experience of places like supermarkets, leisure

:16:13. > :16:17.centres, the workplace, which really brings to life the experience of

:16:18. > :16:20.autism. And that is why Laura has written her book, to shed light on

:16:21. > :16:26.what autism is like especially for women and girls, who can mask their

:16:27. > :16:30.traits as they tried to fit in. Women and girls who could not put

:16:31. > :16:33.their finger on something, they just wanted it to be out there, and if

:16:34. > :16:39.they stumbled across it and found it was then, I hope it would make their

:16:40. > :16:44.life easier. Now you are a couple of years down the line, from your

:16:45. > :16:50.diagnosis, are you happier? I know my place in the world. And I feel

:16:51. > :16:57.often I can be less hard on myself. Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.

:16:58. > :16:59.That was Laura talking to me earlier.

:17:00. > :17:01.In a year's time athletes from across our region

:17:02. > :17:03.will be heading down under for the Commonwealth Games.

:17:04. > :17:05.They'll take place on the Gold Coast in Australia.

:17:06. > :17:08.Three years ago in Glasgow we did very well.

:17:09. > :17:10.Max Whitlock won three gold medals in the gymnastics

:17:11. > :17:12.and Ellen Faulkner won gold in the bowls.

:17:13. > :17:13.She's working hard to get to Australia.

:17:14. > :17:19.But she still makes time to help the stars of the future.

:17:20. > :17:28.Our sports editor Jonathan Park has been to see her.

:17:29. > :17:32.The more successful you get the smaller it will make the target.

:17:33. > :17:41.There are few better to listen to in the sport of bowls

:17:42. > :17:46.She spent hour upon hour perfecting her game and now

:17:47. > :17:49.she is passing on her pearls of wisdom to one of England's

:17:50. > :17:53.She started in the clubs a few years ago and ever since I started

:17:54. > :17:55.she's always been there, something to aim towards, someone

:17:56. > :18:00.If I didn't have her I think I'd be struggling a bit more.

:18:01. > :18:02.Rebecca is 17 and is an England junior international.

:18:03. > :18:05.Hoping to follow in Ellen's footsteps and one day become

:18:06. > :18:08.This will be Ella's 25th year in the sport.

:18:09. > :18:11.She's gone to four Commonwealth Games so far and the Gold Coast 2018

:18:12. > :18:12.will be her fifth Commonwealth Games.

:18:13. > :18:16.Previously she has won three gold medals.

:18:17. > :18:19.She started in Manchester in 2002 and the last time in Glasgow she won

:18:20. > :18:33.Love playing at the highest level and still as hungry

:18:34. > :18:38.Are you a better player now than you were ten years ago?

:18:39. > :18:43.I think better is kind of quite difficult to analyse but I would say

:18:44. > :18:47.is that I do continually try to improve how I'm performing

:18:48. > :18:50.and I try different things, new things in the sport marketplace.

:18:51. > :18:57.It's all about trying to be the best that I can be.

:18:58. > :19:00.From Glasgow to the Gold Coast, just a year to go until another

:19:01. > :19:02.Commonwealth Festival sport, and Team England will do well to

:19:03. > :19:06.174 medals won, 23 of them from our region.

:19:07. > :19:08.With Essex duo Max Whitlock and Alex Dowsett amongst

:19:09. > :19:17.It's amazing, almost life changing experience, to be honest.

:19:18. > :19:24.To be part of Team England, the most successful team in England,

:19:25. > :19:29.That camaraderie and friendship, being with athletes that have worked

:19:30. > :19:31.equally as hard to try and achieve their dreams

:19:32. > :19:39.For bowlers like Rebecca and Ellen, the Commonwealth Games represents

:19:40. > :19:41.the pinnacle of their sport, and the countdown

:19:42. > :19:54.The story of a wrestler from this region has captured

:19:55. > :20:00.The life of WWE wrestler Paige from Norwich is to be a film

:20:01. > :20:02.directed by Stephen Merchant, who co-created the Office.

:20:03. > :20:04.Over the past few days, those stars have been in Norfolk

:20:05. > :20:08.It's hoped it could put the county on the filming map.

:20:09. > :20:10.Vanessa Baffoe is in Great Yarmouth now where they're

:20:11. > :20:21.Absolutely. The crew started arriving at four o'clock and filming

:20:22. > :20:26.is beginning in the next half an hour. Just a few yards away from

:20:27. > :20:33.where I'm standing is a wrestling venue, this is a place where Paige

:20:34. > :20:37.and her family visit regularly. I've got a little secret, we will keep it

:20:38. > :20:42.between us, the owners of the venue, I've been speaking to them and they

:20:43. > :20:53.tell me that Paige visited here just in February with her partner who

:20:54. > :21:00.proposed to her in the ring. The cover from Paige fuss you can take

:21:01. > :21:04.the girl out of Norfolk but... Well, you know the rest, and this time,

:21:05. > :21:09.Paige is bringing Hollywood to the region. A comedy drama about her

:21:10. > :21:15.life has been written and directed by Stephen Merchant. He was filming

:21:16. > :21:22.in Norwich yesterday and today it is Great Yarmouth. It's fantastic for

:21:23. > :21:26.the area. I can't quite believe it, Hollywood in Great Yarmouth,

:21:27. > :21:29.fantastic. Anything that puts Great Yarmouth on the map is a good thing

:21:30. > :21:32.but if we are all going to Hollywood, who knows? We might get

:21:33. > :21:39.tourists from America and all over the world. Is Brad Pitt in it? No,

:21:40. > :21:45.but producing and starring is actor and former wrestler Dwayne Johnson,

:21:46. > :21:50.also known as the ruck. But this was the only rock on show today, along

:21:51. > :21:56.with props and securities, ready for filming later this evening. Fighting

:21:57. > :22:00.with my family is based on Paige's real family who are all professional

:22:01. > :22:06.wrestlers from Norwich. Her father has been speaking to radio Norfolk.

:22:07. > :22:13.To have a film crew in Norwich, little old Norwich, really fantastic

:22:14. > :22:17.for the city. We are a little family from a council house in Norwich and

:22:18. > :22:23.we are making a name for ourselves and for Norwich itself. Earlier she

:22:24. > :22:28.put this picture out on Twitter alongside the actress playing her in

:22:29. > :22:31.the movie. Known for its golden sands and amusement arcades, now

:22:32. > :22:34.Great Yarmouth can add Hollywood film location to its list of

:22:35. > :22:44.attractions. And these locals certainly approve. We are Great

:22:45. > :22:47.Yarmouth! It is set to be a very busy night for the crew and they are

:22:48. > :22:55.here until around 11 o'clock tonight. This movie is set to be

:22:56. > :22:59.released sometime next year. STUDIO: Vanessa, thanks for joining us.

:23:00. > :23:01.Now if you like a visit to the theatre to include

:23:02. > :23:07.This could be just the thing for you.

:23:08. > :23:10.It's based on the film La Strada which won an Oscar in 1954.

:23:11. > :23:12.The show is set just after the 2nd World War

:23:13. > :23:14.and is the story of a young Italian girl

:23:15. > :23:18.It will open in the West End next month.

:23:19. > :23:21.But right now it's at the Arts Theatre in Cambridge.

:23:22. > :23:23.Louise Hubball joined the cast getting ready for

:23:24. > :23:39.The high energy and dazzling lights of the circus brought to Cambridge.

:23:40. > :23:42.In rehearsals today, the cast ensuring precision movement

:23:43. > :23:50.and perfect timing for one of the show's complex songs.

:23:51. > :23:53.But the production, also sparse and haunting,

:23:54. > :23:58.the traits which won the 1954 film an Oscar.

:23:59. > :24:09.The sadistic strongman taking centre stage.

:24:10. > :24:14.One reviewer said ridiculously masculine.

:24:15. > :24:18.So he represents that patriarch, the fierce man who doesn't

:24:19. > :24:24.show his feelings and who's pretty inconsiderate to everybody.

:24:25. > :24:28.This is a unique production with musicians on stage the whole

:24:29. > :24:32.time, being a string quartet or jazz band, and plenty of

:24:33. > :24:37.dance, and, of course, the all-important circus skills.

:24:38. > :24:42.And another main character is the fool.

:24:43. > :24:44.An extremely demanding role, the Canadian actor playing him

:24:45. > :24:48.grew up in a circus, the son of acrobats.

:24:49. > :24:51.My parents would train and before and after training

:24:52. > :24:53.we would basically play at circus, you know.

:24:54. > :25:05.Even my character for me is very close to who I am.

:25:06. > :25:07.The play has come to Cambridge before the West End

:25:08. > :25:09.because it is being co-produced with Cambridge Arts Theatre.

:25:10. > :25:16.The artistic and financial support invaluable.

:25:17. > :25:18.Theatre is a difficult industry, difficult to get things moving in,

:25:19. > :25:21.especially if you want to take something to the West End

:25:22. > :25:23.and are looking to get great production values.

:25:24. > :25:26.Moving from a small workshop environment and scaling up like that

:25:27. > :25:28.can be very difficult, so we are really very grateful

:25:29. > :25:31.and reliant on forward-thinking and positive houses like Cambridge

:25:32. > :25:33.Arts Theatre to get involved and make things happen.

:25:34. > :25:36.The run here finishes on Saturday night.

:25:37. > :25:42.The last chance to see a West End production in this intimate theatre.

:25:43. > :25:45.Louise Hubball, BBC Look East, Cambridge.

:25:46. > :26:01.Cloudy conditions, so you might need reminding of the sunshine from early

:26:02. > :26:05.this morning, this fantastic picture. This photograph was taken

:26:06. > :26:11.in Bedford, and we have at the weather front pushing cloud across

:26:12. > :26:15.the area. Some light drizzle but generally dry, and as we go through

:26:16. > :26:22.the evening and night, the cloud will break up, so we will be left

:26:23. > :26:27.with clear spells, and that doesn't -- does mean it could be a bit

:26:28. > :26:32.colder compared to last night. Some areas might get down as low as two

:26:33. > :26:40.Celsius, bringing the risk of frost. High pressure from the South West,

:26:41. > :26:44.that could mean we are in the sunshine, but unfortunately we have

:26:45. > :26:49.cloud around. Expect a bright start, quite cold, but the cloud in

:26:50. > :26:53.crouching across all parts, and a north-westerly wind, that will make

:26:54. > :26:56.things a bit cooler at times, and with the cloud cover temperatures

:26:57. > :27:01.probably not climbing higher than around 11-12 stop it looks as though

:27:02. > :27:06.it will stay largely dry, if rather cloudy. Beyond that, looking to the

:27:07. > :27:11.end of the week, the high pressure starts to get squeezed to the east

:27:12. > :27:14.and that will mean a southerly wind. A complete switch in wind direction

:27:15. > :27:19.and that will bring a lot of warm air by the weekend. Good news in

:27:20. > :27:22.time for the weekend, but before then expect a lot of clout,

:27:23. > :27:28.hopefully bright spells, maybe sunshine if you are lucky on

:27:29. > :27:30.Thursday and Friday -- cloud. At the weekend, temperatures of around 17,

:27:31. > :27:34.possibly higher. Lovely.
