:00:15. > :00:22.The only offer these kind of rewards in the most heinous of

:00:22. > :00:26.crimes. More than �35 million million worth

:00:26. > :00:29.of metal stolen in the past four years in the region. We have seen

:00:29. > :00:38.this as a massive problem. Braving the chill wind of the

:00:38. > :00:48.economy, how Arts businesses are And aiming high, how we can all

:00:48. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:01.enjoy some serious star-gazing this Good evening. Welcome to Friday's

:01:01. > :01:05.programme. A �10,000 reward is up to track down the killers of a

:01:05. > :01:09.murdered couple. Avtar and Carole Kolar were found by one of their

:01:09. > :01:13.sons, a policeman, at their home in Birmingham. Officers say they are

:01:13. > :01:20.following a number of significant lines of inquiry. Our correspondent

:01:20. > :01:24.has the latest. The savagery of the two murders has

:01:24. > :01:28.stunned the community in this prosperous part of Birmingham. The

:01:28. > :01:34.investigation is painstaking. The postmortem into the deaths of Avtar

:01:34. > :01:37.and Carole Kolar will now be announced tomorrow. The fact that a

:01:37. > :01:45.husband and wife have been murdered in their own home has prompted the

:01:45. > :01:47.crime stopper offer a �10,000 reward. It is really important that

:01:47. > :01:52.people come forward and give us information about who might have

:01:52. > :01:56.done this. Anybody who does give us any information either by phone or

:01:56. > :02:01.through our website, it will be completely anonymous. What motive

:02:01. > :02:08.for the killings? Little credence is being placed on the gangland

:02:08. > :02:13.reprisal motive due to the San's police work. No threats have been

:02:13. > :02:17.made to him all the family. The increasing number of street thefts

:02:17. > :02:21.and burglaries. We are aware of a number of gold theft within the

:02:21. > :02:25.area and nationally as well. We have seen an increase in doubt. It

:02:25. > :02:31.is a line of inquiry that we are following up a. Gold has been a

:02:31. > :02:36.safe investment but it is also fuelling crime with its high price.

:02:36. > :02:40.Many Asian families often keep gold in their homes. Street robberies as

:02:40. > :02:47.well and in one month last summer, 52 women fell victim to such

:02:47. > :02:49.robberies. Be vigilant and consider safety at all time. Make sure your

:02:49. > :02:53.doors and windows are locked, adequate lighting a. Things like

:02:53. > :02:59.that. The most important thing to remember is your possessions can be

:02:59. > :03:05.replaced but you cannot. The Kolars were deeply loved by their own

:03:06. > :03:09.family and also at a nearby school. It was also attended by the

:03:09. > :03:14.couple's and grandchildren. The sense of loss here today is

:03:14. > :03:20.enormous. Everybody is devastated. We can't believe it to. Couldn't

:03:20. > :03:23.believe it. In this day and age, what happens, I just don't know.

:03:23. > :03:29.will cope though. Yesterday morning in the playground, most of the

:03:29. > :03:36.children were crying. I am welling up just speaking about it, she was

:03:36. > :03:41.a lovely lady. Every technique available is being deployed on this

:03:41. > :03:47.double murder case. But it could be just local information, somebody

:03:47. > :03:57.with a name, a suspicion, simply picking up a telephone and calling.

:03:57. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:05.And Peter is that the West Midlands Police headquarters deceiving.

:04:06. > :04:09.Still no news of the postmortem? -- headquarters this evening.

:04:09. > :04:13.post-mortems have been carried out and I can tell you that senior

:04:13. > :04:17.officers to have those results but this is a very highly sensitive

:04:17. > :04:22.case and the police want to sit down with the whole of the Kolar

:04:22. > :04:30.family to discuss exactly what happened to their beloved mother

:04:30. > :04:34.and father. They want to make clear to the family all that information

:04:34. > :04:39.before the release anything. there any more emphasis on this

:04:39. > :04:45.investigation because it involves a police officer's family? No, far

:04:45. > :04:50.from it. This was always going to be a high-profile case. The murder

:04:50. > :04:55.of a couple murdered in their own home and some 60 detectives, that

:04:55. > :04:58.is really standard practice in this type of murder investigation.

:04:58. > :05:08.Finally, how common is it for Crimestoppers to put up a reward of

:05:08. > :05:09.

:05:09. > :05:15.this magnitude? It is unusual. Rewards are usually between �500-

:05:15. > :05:19.�1,000. But Crimestoppers kept repeating to me today that they are

:05:19. > :05:23.independent of the police. This money has been raised by their own

:05:23. > :05:29.volunteers and like so many people around the country, they have been

:05:29. > :05:32.affected by this murder as well and they want to put up �10,000 in

:05:32. > :05:39.order to encourage somebody out there to pick up the phone and make

:05:39. > :05:47.that call. Thank you. Police investigating the murder of

:05:47. > :05:55.retired teacher Betty Yates in Bewdley say people have spoken of

:05:55. > :05:59.seeing her walking along the riverside. Until the earliest --

:05:59. > :06:03.latest sighting was earlier in the day. They want to hear from anyone

:06:03. > :06:10.who may have seen her near the river last Monday afternoon.

:06:10. > :06:20.Coming up later, as plans for a new hotel for the Worcestershire

:06:20. > :06:20.

:06:20. > :06:24.Country Cricket Club, does the City An investigation by the Sunday

:06:24. > :06:27.Politics programme has found more than �35 million worth of metal has

:06:27. > :06:32.been stolen across the Midlands over the last four years. A number

:06:32. > :06:42.of MPs in the Black Country are now leading a Bill in Parliament to get

:06:42. > :06:45.the wall surrounding the scrap Metal - crushed in the back country,

:06:46. > :06:50.destined for places like China and there are huge amounts of money to

:06:50. > :06:56.be made which is making metal theft a big problem for police. Just this

:06:56. > :07:00.week, thieves stripped 200 metres of copper Telecom's cable from the

:07:00. > :07:03.railway here in Walsall. British Transport Police to tougher

:07:03. > :07:07.regulations for scrap merchant would help. It would help to

:07:07. > :07:11.encourage scrap merchants to be more open with their dealings with

:07:11. > :07:16.members of the public bringing in metal or cable. It would make them

:07:16. > :07:21.more accountable and make our way of tracing metal certainly much

:07:21. > :07:28.easier. The scale of the problem is significant. Figures released to

:07:28. > :07:36.the BBC's Sunday Politics programme under the Freedom of Information

:07:36. > :07:44.Act showed nearly 30,000 cattle theft in the region. West Mercia

:07:44. > :07:49.saw little theft rise by 95% and the largest single theft was to the

:07:49. > :07:54.tune of �100,000 in Staffordshire. One of the main examples have been

:07:54. > :07:59.on the tram network and British Transport Police say more than

:07:59. > :08:05.�300,000 worth of copper cable was stolen by thieves. It is those kind

:08:05. > :08:11.of incidents that the Government wants to clamp down on.

:08:11. > :08:20.The association that represents the scrapping organisation said asking

:08:20. > :08:24.for photo ID would be better than banning cash. If we tried to ban

:08:24. > :08:28.cash, it would drive it underground into illegal operations and

:08:28. > :08:32.potentially to encourage the growth of organised crime. But MPs who

:08:32. > :08:37.want to see an end to cash traders at scrapyard will be pushing for it

:08:37. > :08:41.in a private members' bill in Parliament next week.

:08:41. > :08:46.You can find out more about the rising problem of metal theft and

:08:46. > :08:51.the changes that MPs want to introduce to the trade in scrap-

:08:51. > :08:56.metal on the Sunday Politics programme at 12 noon on Sunday.

:08:56. > :08:59.A father who appealed for calm after his son was killed during the

:08:59. > :09:03.Birmingham riots has denied attacking a man in an alleged road

:09:03. > :09:07.rage case. What is it-year-old Tariq Jahan appeared at the city's

:09:07. > :09:12.Crown Court today to deny causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

:09:12. > :09:16.The charge relates to an incident in Handsworth in July, one month

:09:16. > :09:20.before the riots. A trial will take place in April.

:09:20. > :09:24.An award-winning Indian pop singer who has been living in Birmingham

:09:24. > :09:30.for 10 years has lost his fight against deportation. Rising star

:09:30. > :09:33.Garry Sandhu was removed to India last night. The UK board in just

:09:33. > :09:36.say say he had previously claimed asylum under a different identity

:09:36. > :09:40.and had gone on the run -- the UK board Agency.

:09:40. > :09:43.The Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi says he has been overwhelmed

:09:43. > :09:46.by the support he has received since he has revealed he had cancer.

:09:46. > :09:50.The founder member of the Birmingham heavy metal band has

:09:50. > :09:54.been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma. In a message on

:09:54. > :10:01.his website, he thanked fans, friends and colleagues and said he

:10:01. > :10:02.was eager to start his treatment. Plans are being unveiled today for

:10:03. > :10:07.the multi-million-pound redevelopment of Worcestershire

:10:07. > :10:12.County Cricket Club, and the proposal includes a brand-new hotel.

:10:12. > :10:16.One of the four or five that the council says the City requires. But

:10:16. > :10:19.with hotelier's struggling to fill rooms already, is there a need or

:10:19. > :10:24.desire for them? Our reporter is at Worcestershire Country Cricket Club

:10:25. > :10:29.now. When it is light, this is one of the best sporting views anywhere

:10:29. > :10:33.in the country. To imagine looking out of your hotel room window at

:10:33. > :10:37.the best and that could become a reality as part of a �10 million

:10:37. > :10:43.redevelopment plan announced today here at New Road. But as I have

:10:43. > :10:46.found that, it to be the first of many new hotels to open in the city.

:10:46. > :10:50.This is the iconic view of Worcester. A site that helps to

:10:51. > :10:55.bring tourists to the city, helping to fill the 400 hotel rooms already

:10:55. > :11:00.here. But according to research carried out by the City Council,

:11:00. > :11:06.Worcester needs twice as many rooms and a better standard of hotels. To

:11:06. > :11:09.attract both tourists and business. We think we have got a market here

:11:10. > :11:13.that will support more hotels, that would meet the needs of both

:11:13. > :11:17.business customers and those who come for leisure purposes. And so

:11:17. > :11:21.we are very keen to encourage hotelier's to have another look at

:11:21. > :11:26.the City. The findings of the report said the standard of

:11:27. > :11:30.Worcester's hotels are generally of a low quality. Not one has an

:11:30. > :11:35.official four or five-star rating. According to the Chamber of

:11:35. > :11:38.Commerce, changing that is vital for the city and its economy.

:11:38. > :11:42.Businesses in the City will use hotels outside of the city centre

:11:42. > :11:45.and obviously they will then spend their money outside of the city

:11:45. > :11:49.centre. That might be good for the people outside the city centre but

:11:49. > :11:53.not good for those in the city centre. Away from hotels, there's

:11:53. > :11:59.plenty of investment going on in Worcester including a new library,

:11:59. > :12:04.sporting arena and multi-million- pound retail development.

:12:04. > :12:10.Good afternoon, how can I help you? But the people running one of the

:12:10. > :12:14.city's hotels save money needs to be invested elsewhere to fill the

:12:14. > :12:21.already empty rooms. You get what you deserve like many things and

:12:21. > :12:24.the city has got the hotels it deserves. Without the

:12:24. > :12:30.infrastructure, the industry finds it difficult to fill the rooms that

:12:31. > :12:35.it has got over a 12 month period. By this time next year, there could

:12:35. > :12:39.be a new 120 bedroom hotel here. The first of a number in the City

:12:39. > :12:44.but with many of was to's current hotels running below capacity, were

:12:44. > :12:49.that there's a demand for them remains to be seen.

:12:49. > :12:53.With me is the chief executive of Worcestershire Country Cricket Club,

:12:53. > :13:00.David Leatherdale. You are was that man, can it cope with more hotels?

:13:00. > :13:04.I cannot speak for everybody but when we speak to our spectators,

:13:04. > :13:07.there seems to be a distinct lack of quality hotels and conference

:13:07. > :13:11.facilities. We hope to build something that will produce not

:13:11. > :13:15.just a quality hotel but facilities to allow businesses to come into

:13:15. > :13:19.the city and use our facilities which will be totally beneficial.

:13:19. > :13:23.new road is famous for cricket but also flooding and it will be right

:13:23. > :13:27.by the river, that must be a concern for a new hotel? It would

:13:27. > :13:32.have been if things had not been put in place relative to planning.

:13:32. > :13:37.It will be raised above the flood plain exactly like the pavilion we

:13:38. > :13:40.built two years ago so it gives a security. I know that the

:13:40. > :13:44.Environment Agency have been consulted and are happy with the

:13:44. > :13:48.situation and we should not have issues. What does it mean for the

:13:48. > :13:52.cricket club itself? It will not have Test cricket but it will bring

:13:52. > :13:55.bigger things here? The biggest thing we are looking at is

:13:55. > :13:59.generating income more than just during the cricket season. Cricket

:13:59. > :14:04.is key, that is what we are here for. Money generated will go back

:14:04. > :14:08.into the cricket side. If we have got new facilities, we can do that.

:14:08. > :14:11.If the plans to get the go-ahead and they still have to from

:14:11. > :14:18.Worcester City Council, work will start in September and things

:14:18. > :14:28.should be completed by 20th Thanks for joining us this Friday

:14:28. > :14:30.evening. Still to come, we meet the men whose interest in space has led

:14:30. > :14:34.to a pretty explosive hobby. And with the Stargazing events

:14:34. > :14:37.taking place over the weekend, it looks like the weather is on their

:14:37. > :14:46.side - cold and frosty but clear skies. I'll have a full weather

:14:46. > :14:48.update later in the programme. Almost 1,000 social care staff

:14:48. > :14:50.currently employed by Staffordshire County Council will shortly be

:14:50. > :14:56.working for the NHS under plans which it's claimed will

:14:56. > :14:59.revolutionise the way people are treated in their own homes. It's

:14:59. > :15:02.the largest integration of health and social services in the country

:15:02. > :15:09.and it'll cost the County Council �153 million, making it the biggest

:15:09. > :15:11.financial decision they've ever made, as Cath Mackie reports.

:15:11. > :15:16.At home near Uttoxeter, David Sargeant's regaining his

:15:16. > :15:19.independence after a stroke last year. He's one of the first to

:15:19. > :15:27.benefit from a new integrated care scheme, which he credits for

:15:27. > :15:34.getting him this far. The care team worked very hard with the doctors,

:15:34. > :15:39.the physios and the community. They made sure everybody was prepared

:15:39. > :15:45.for me when I did come have. In fact, rethink there were five

:15:45. > :15:48.carers here to me me when I first came hand. -- I think. And this is

:15:48. > :15:50.what an integrated service looks like. The community nurses, the

:15:50. > :15:56.physio, the social worker, the social care assessor, under one

:15:56. > :16:00.roof. We can get patients out of hospital early and we can also get

:16:00. > :16:03.them home and feeling happy. idea of services coming together

:16:03. > :16:06.isn't new, but what they are saying here in Staffordshire is that this

:16:06. > :16:09.will be the largest integration of health and social care in the

:16:09. > :16:16.country. The idea is to get people out of hospital and provide care

:16:16. > :16:18.for them at home. One in four ends up in hospital when they don't need

:16:18. > :16:24.to. This is about increasing community capacity to treat people

:16:24. > :16:28.in their own homes and therefore keep them out of hospital. But come

:16:28. > :16:35.people be confident there would be this push to get them out of

:16:35. > :16:40.hospital too soon? Yes. If they are there for clinical reasons, let's

:16:40. > :16:43.get them there quickly. But let's get them out when they can. Unions

:16:43. > :16:47.acting for the 970 social workers are also sounding pretty positive,

:16:47. > :16:48.and are waiting to see how it works. As for David Sargeant, he's back

:16:49. > :16:51.working part-time as a computer consultant.

:16:52. > :16:55.And the Department of Health is expected to agree to the deal

:16:55. > :16:58.formally next week. Setting up a new business in the

:16:58. > :17:01.middle of an economic downturn may not appear to be the wisest idea

:17:01. > :17:04.but it hasn't deterred the creative industries, which are reporting a

:17:04. > :17:08.small increase across the UK. So why are people with a passion for

:17:08. > :17:14.the arts willing to take a risk? Our arts reporter, Satnam Rana, has

:17:14. > :17:16.been finding out. It's all hands on for Matt King and

:17:16. > :17:26.Zaphira Cormack, who've ploughed �5,000 of their own savings into

:17:26. > :17:27.

:17:27. > :17:32.opening up Centre Arts in Cheltenham. Matt, if you can move

:17:32. > :17:34.up Toby's a long... They set up this art space in September last

:17:34. > :17:39.year, after Matt was made redundant from the Herefordshire Music

:17:39. > :17:43.Service. With a growing here and we have been growing since day one and

:17:43. > :17:50.operating in the blacks in stay one. That is something I am actually

:17:50. > :17:54.very proud of. -- operating in the black since they one. We did not go

:17:54. > :17:59.to the banks for money. We have not been paid yet but that is yet to

:17:59. > :18:04.come. But why take on such a huge investment in the middle of an

:18:04. > :18:07.economic downturn? I suppose we took a risk but we are just so

:18:07. > :18:10.excited to start up a business in the arts because chart and does not

:18:10. > :18:14.have an arts centre and we were confident this would be successful

:18:14. > :18:18.because it is something the community needs. They're not the

:18:18. > :18:26.only ones taking a risk. The Blue Organe Theatre in Birmingham also

:18:26. > :18:29.opened last September. advantage we had was the premises

:18:29. > :18:33.and the fitting out been cheaper and also the interest rate being

:18:33. > :18:43.solo meant for payments on the loan were a fraction of what they would

:18:43. > :18:52.have been 10 years ago. -- the interest rates being it so low. We

:18:52. > :18:55.found it more achievable. Across the UK last year, there were over

:18:55. > :19:04.1,000 hundred creative local organisations. Let's look had

:19:04. > :19:09.visual and performing arts. We have had a downwards decline and in 2009,

:19:09. > :19:12.there were 1260 organisations compared to 1170 last year. That's

:19:13. > :19:15.a reduction of 90 organistions over two years. But despite the small

:19:16. > :19:25.downward decline in new start ups, people like Matt and Zaphira are

:19:26. > :19:29.

:19:29. > :19:32.willing to take a risk. For For the first time this season, all

:19:32. > :19:36.four of our Premier League teams will kick off at 3pm on a Saturday

:19:36. > :19:40.afternoon. Wolves travel to Spurs and Stoke are away to Liverpool.

:19:40. > :19:43.Robbie Keane is set to make his Aston Villa debut at home to

:19:43. > :19:46.Everton. And West Bromwich Albion have also got a fresh face in their

:19:46. > :19:49.squad to face Norwich, as Ian Winter reports.

:19:49. > :19:53.Introducing Scott Allan - highly- rated midfield player. Just arrived

:19:54. > :19:56.from Dundee United and just turned 20. One for the future, perhaps.

:19:56. > :20:06.But that future starts tomorrow because Albion have nine players

:20:06. > :20:08.

:20:08. > :20:11.recovering from injury, so Scott goes straight into the squad.

:20:11. > :20:21.football hero was Paul Gascoigne because I used to go and watch him

:20:21. > :20:22.

:20:22. > :20:29.every week. Those are my role models. Is there a touch of him in

:20:29. > :20:35.your game? Not any pressure, but I would love to be as good as he was!

:20:35. > :20:39.In spite of interest from an number of other clubs, Scott chose Albion

:20:39. > :20:45.because they are in the league. Now it is up to the manager to make

:20:45. > :20:50.sure they stay there. We have met briefly and we will meet again

:20:50. > :20:57.today. Do you get the vibes from him that there is money out there

:20:57. > :21:00.to spend? The chairman's goal was the same as ours. They have the

:21:00. > :21:05.position that, if got something comes along that I should recommend

:21:05. > :21:09.to the chairman, I will try to persuade him to do it. Hopefully,

:21:09. > :21:12.he will back me. Is that the smile that says Roy's expecting the green

:21:12. > :21:15.light to get busy in the transfer market, or the smile that suggests

:21:15. > :21:18.it's highly unlikely? All will become clear in the next two weeks,

:21:18. > :21:22.by which time his team might have completed a hat-trick of victories

:21:22. > :21:26.against Norwich City in the Premier League and the FA Cup. But, as any

:21:26. > :21:29.Albion fan will tell you, things don't always go according to plan.

:21:29. > :21:36.And of course you can follow your team and hear full match commentary

:21:36. > :21:39.and updates on your local BBC radio station over the weekend.

:21:39. > :21:44.This weekend the BBC is staging a series of astronomy events across

:21:44. > :21:47.the Midlands ahead of the return of Stargazing Live on Monday. Our

:21:47. > :21:50.science correspondent, David Gregory, is in the centre of

:21:50. > :21:57.Birmingham tonight, which will be the focus of one event. So what

:21:57. > :22:02.will be happening, David? As you might expect, here in Birmingham,

:22:02. > :22:05.the event will involve the BBC big screen. We will also be telling you

:22:05. > :22:09.how you can find out about events taking place made you wherever you

:22:09. > :22:13.live in the Midlands. But first, an interest in astronomy does not

:22:13. > :22:18.always mean you end up taking out a telescope at night as part of your

:22:18. > :22:21.hobby. Sometimes it can lead to interest in other things to do with

:22:21. > :22:27.space, like rockets. In a freezing field near Coventry,

:22:27. > :22:33.countdown has begun. I have got kids of 11 and 12 in my school and

:22:33. > :22:38.they are taking up rocketry now. You could say this is an exploding

:22:39. > :22:45.Thai hobby but I don't want to jinx our plans for lift-off! We set up

:22:45. > :22:50.in 2000, 2001, as a group of like- minded individuals who had an

:22:50. > :22:56.interest in space, astronomy, rocketry, engineering. And we

:22:56. > :23:00.basically build and fly a model rockets, high-power rockets, for

:23:00. > :23:06.fun. Now, you might be wondering just what sort of fuel these

:23:06. > :23:15.rockets use. Well, they use what NASA uses. The fuel is commercially

:23:15. > :23:19.produced, mainly in America. And it's basically exactly the same

:23:20. > :23:24.constituency -- consistency as that that goes into the solid rocket

:23:24. > :23:29.fuel boosters in a space shuttle. So the same as you get in real

:23:29. > :23:35.rockets? Yes. These are real but they are just smaller. But like any

:23:35. > :23:44.launch, there is always a worry it might not go to plan... Heads up,

:23:44. > :23:53.we are launching in... 5, four, three, two, one, launched! Not a

:23:53. > :23:58.hitch. And then, what goes up must come down, and the question is, how

:23:58. > :24:01.do you track your rocket? Because it can land several miles away.

:24:01. > :24:05.These guys have the answer. You just text the rocket and the

:24:05. > :24:13.onboard GPS tells you where it is! And it's not only GPS on board.

:24:13. > :24:17.They have cameras to give you a rocket's eye view too. With me are

:24:17. > :24:20.some proper space scientists, astrophysicists, from the

:24:20. > :24:29.University of Birmingham. What will be happening with the big screen,

:24:29. > :24:33.Chiara Mingarelli? We will be starting off with some of short

:24:33. > :24:40.films about looking for life on other planets. And then we will

:24:40. > :24:45.have the night sky being shown. What else is going on, Katherine

:24:45. > :24:49.Grover? The events of relief fund. You can build your own rocket and

:24:49. > :24:54.see it launched from the sky. We have games and you can learn about

:24:54. > :24:59.some of the research we do at the University. Will there be a

:24:59. > :25:03.telescope surgery? Yes. You can bring your telescope and we will

:25:03. > :25:08.have experts who can show you how to use it better or fix it, and we

:25:08. > :25:18.will also have a telescope that has filters in it so you can look at

:25:18. > :25:24.the sun without hurting your eyes. So, come down to Birmingham or go

:25:24. > :25:29.to the website and you can find out all about everything taking place

:25:30. > :25:39.all over the country. I would wrap up if you are going to

:25:39. > :25:45.Yes. It has certainly been a frosty, cold Bay, but through the week, it

:25:45. > :25:49.has been mild and we have had a transition. And this is a picture

:25:50. > :25:56.of a rose in full bloomed. But none of that for the weekend. We have

:25:56. > :26:03.high pressure at the helm so it will stay cold through the weekend

:26:03. > :26:06.and next week. Plenty of sunshine today and a cold day, too. Any

:26:06. > :26:11.cloud will disburse early this evening and we will see a

:26:11. > :26:17.widespread frost under those clear skies. Pampered as well start to

:26:17. > :26:26.plummet and dicta around -2 in most places, and even lower in some of

:26:26. > :26:31.the more rural places. -- and dip down to around -2. It will be cold

:26:31. > :26:36.and sunny through the day tomorrow and we are seeing some patchy mist

:26:36. > :26:41.and for early on. But a lovely day ahead. Dry and bright with plenty

:26:41. > :26:48.of sunshine once again, but cold again, with temperatures a touch

:26:48. > :26:52.lower than today. Just four at best. For wind will be light. For the

:26:53. > :26:57.rest of the weekend, temperatures will be staying very cold through

:26:58. > :27:02.the rest of the weekend. We are not going to see the effect of these

:27:02. > :27:07.until later in the week, so staying cold through the day on Sunday as

:27:07. > :27:17.well with another frosty start. Temperatures at just four degrees
