Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
Ranvir Singh. Our top story: Retracing his | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
footsteps. The parents of the student shot dead on Boxing day lay | :00:08. | :00:16. | |
flowers where he died. We'd just would like to see the | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
things where he was shot, and those memories we will keep in our mind | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
throughout our life. We'll be hearing more from Anuj | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Bidve's parents. We've also got a exclusive interview with one of the | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
people closest to the man accused of his murder. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Also tonight: Claims police withheld a Wirral woman's diary | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
from evidence. Her husband, who served time for her murder, says | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
he's appalled. Who's the man in the hat? Amir Khan | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
raises more questions over the judges at his world title fight. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
I just want to know what this man is, what his role was, why he was | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
sat there? A Titanic calling. The enthusiasts | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
who're hoping to recreated the great liner's radio room, to mark | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
the centenary of her sinking. And, the A-list guest list. Why one | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
couple's big day had an unexpected Hollywood gate-crasher. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
It was so lovely, the whole of the cast was there. Meryl Streep | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
dressed as Margaret Thatcher. They were all applauding as I was | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
:01:30. | :01:33. | ||
They travelled thousands of miles to retrace their son's final | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
footsteps, and to bring his body home. The parents of Anuj Bidve, | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
who was shot dead on Boxing Day morning, came to Salford today to | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
say prayers at the spot where he died. They also spoke to the Prime | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Minister, who told them the British authorities would do everything | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
possible to catch and punish his killer. Tonight, one of the people | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
closest to the man charged with murder has spoken exclusively to | :01:53. | :02:03. | |

North West Tonight. Let's go live to Stuart Flinders in Ordsall. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
We don't know a lot about Kiaran Stapleton accused of the murder, | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
because of the ongoing legal proceedings. I've been talking to | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
Kiaran Stapleton's cousin. But today was really a chance for Mr | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Bidve's family to try and make some sense of what happened to their son. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
They travelled nearly 5,000 miles, but this was the most painful part | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
of their journey. Anuj Bidve's parents visited the place where he | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
was killed today. We just would like to see where he | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
got shot, and those memories we will keep in our mind throughout | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
our life. Earlier they saw their son's hotel room. Mr Bidve was on | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
his way from here to join the queue for the Manchester sales in the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
early hours of Boxing Day morning when he was attacked. The Lancaster | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
University student was with friends when he was shot in the head. Mr | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Bidve's family heard of his death on the social networking site, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Facebook, and they were critical of the British authorities for not | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
contacting them sooner. Today, the Prime Minister spoke to them by | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
phone. Quite understandably, they want to see where their son was | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
living, what happened at the end of his life. I imagine the police are | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
giving every facility to help them do that. Is it your view that the | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
way the authorities have handled this has changed? Yes, the police | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
are taking this very seriously. We have prayed to God, we feel that | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
justice will come to our son. visit today was a chance for local | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
people to express their sympathy. came to give condolence to the | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
family. I was really concerned about my wife, myself. Because we | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
walk on this road every single day. Earlier this week, a local man, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Kiaran Stapleton, appeared in court accused of murdering Mr Bidve. Four | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
others have been arrested in connection with the student's death. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Tonight, Mr and Mrs Bidve will complete their journey, heading | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
back to India with their son's body. You've been speaking exclusively to | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
a man close to Kiaran Stapleton, the man charged with Anuj Bidve's | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
murder. What did he tell you? is Andrew Burgess, Kiaran | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Stapleton's cousin. They live together in Salford. Earlier this | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
afternoon, he told me how he sees the accused man. He is a good kid. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
He is a really good kid. He has worked since he left school. He has | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
done everything he can, training, flying lessons, everything. For | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
somebody to do something like this, and the police are saying it is him. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
There has got to be something there, but nothing whatsoever. He is a | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
really good kid. That was the cousin of Kiaran Stapleton. The | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
case continues and he is likely to go on trial in June. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
A Merseyside husband, accused of murdering his pregnant wife, says | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
he's appalled that police allegedly failed to disclose evidence that | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
could overturn his conviction. Eddie Gilfoyle always denied | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
hanging his wife Paula at their Wirral home in 1992, and then | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
making it look like suicide. Now it's claimed that for at least | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
sixteen years police had a diary in which Paula describes taking an | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
overdose of pills when she was a teenager. Eddie Gilfoyle's legal | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
team say it's vital evidence which the jury never heard. Andy Gill | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
reports. Paula Gilfoyle was said to be | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
looking forward to becoming a mum. The last person you'd expect to | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
hang themselves. But now The Times reveals details of Paula's teenage | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
diary. She says she took an overdose after a row with a | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
boyfriend. "Took some tablets. 10. Mark went mad but I done it to | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
him." Eddie Gilfoyle's defence unearthed the diaries at Merseyside | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
Police station in 2010. But police had had them since at least 1994. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
The absolutely appalled with this, the fact they have sat on this | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
evidence for so long, and not disclosed them, it is disgusting, | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
disgraceful. How can this be allowed to happen? It was claimed | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Eddie persuaded Paula to put her neck in a noose in their garage and | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
duped her into writing a suicide note. Merseyside Police say they | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
can't comment as the matter is before the Criminal Case Review | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Commission. It's not clear if they had the diaries since the original | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
investigation. Or if Lancashire Police unearthed them when they | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
reviewed the case in 94. The new evidence about Paula's state of | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
mind goes to the heart of the case against her husband. If the jury in | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
1993 had known she had taken an overdose as a teenager, then they | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
could have had a very different view about prosecution evidence | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
that she simply wasn't the kind of woman to take her own life. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
think this is very compelling material. It has been presented | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
with other material, and we would hope that the Criminal Cases Review | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Commission will refer this matter swiftly to the Court of Appeal. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Paula's family said today they're 150% convinced Eddie is guilty. | :07:40. | :07:50. | |

suspicion of poisoning and tampering with medical records at | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
Stepping Hill Hospital has been named as Victorino Chua. The 46- | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
year-old Filipino nurse from Heaton Chapel was arrested yesterday and | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
is still being questioned. Meanwhile, the family of a fourth | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
patient whose death is being linked to the contamination of saline at | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
the hospital last summer have described him as "A kind and | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
generous man, a loving father and grandfather." Bill Dickson, 82, | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
died on New Year's Eve. For the latest, let's go to Nina Warhurst. | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
:09:34. | :09:34. | ||
What more do we know today about the man arrested? Victorino Chua | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
was arrested yesterday in the Heaton Chapel area of Stockport. It | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
is important to stress the patient whose records these are linked to | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
has now been discharged from Stepping Hill Hospital. Neighbours | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
described a very warm and friendly family man who was always willing | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
to stop and chat. They also expressed these dramatic events of | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
yesterday, starting with an unmarked car arriving in the | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
morning and crime scene investigators staying throughout | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
the day. In the mornings he waves and smiles. I saw him handcuffed | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
and put into an unmarked car yesterday. He is very pleasant, | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
good morning. It is shocking because it is a hospital that we | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
all go to, we all know really well. It is worrying. There had been more | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
details about Bill Dickson. Yes, the 82-year-old who lived in | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
Cheadle Hume, his family paid tribute to him, describing him as a | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
very kind and generous man with a great sense of humour, a loving | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
husband, father and grandfather. Police have once again reminded us | :10:51. | :10:55. | |

Now to the final part of our series looking at the influence science is | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
having in modern sport, something which has led to some of our top | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
rugby league stars becoming students. Thanks to a link-up | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
between Wigan Warriors and the University of Central Lancashire, | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
players now study sports science courses - while undergraduates use | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
:11:57. | :11:57. | ||
their skills to help the rugby team. He's the biggest name in rugby | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
league. So imagine the surprise when sports science students found | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
Sam Tomkins on one of their modules. The students must have been | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
impressed. We were impressed by them. What did you learn? We're | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
used to being told what to do, but we don't know why. It was good to | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
get an insight into how the body works, and why we do certain things. | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
The partnership between Wigan and UCLAN is based around sports | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
science. By studying, players learn more. And students like Zoe get to | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
teach them. They are hands on. is good to see these professional | :12:44. | :12:54. | |

A group of marine radio enthusiasts on Merseyside have recreated the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
radio room of the Titanic in time for this year's centenary of the | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
disaster. The Liverpool registered ocean liner Titanic sank in April | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
:14:06. | :14:12. | ||
1912 with the loss of more than Before satellites, sailors relied | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
on terrestrial radio to communicate and sometimes to pinpoint where | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
they were. This got us home quite a few times in the old days when we | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
did not have radar. Here, Stan McNally of the Marine Radio Museum | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
demonstrates an World War II technology. He and other volunteers | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
started the museum five years ago to stop all radio kit being lost | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
forever. We'd also like to be able to show children how we did it in | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
our time. If you forget your past, museum is housed in a chilly, when | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
swept tower in New Brighton. They have bowled radio kit from the old | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
Isle of Man steamers, among others. Now they want to recreate the radio | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
room of the Titanic. In April it will be 100 years since she sank in | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
the North Atlantic. Stan MAP -- Stan McNally says radio plays a key | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
role in the Titanic because the ship could call for help. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Titanic was right at the beginning of radio and through radio, | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
although there was a great loss of life, there was quite a few people | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
saved. They have no financial backing for the titanic project. | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
They are relying on public donations and their own pockets but | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
they say they are determined to get the job done. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
Tony is here with the sport and the mystery thickens. It is getting for | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
deer by the minute but there is extraordinary footage for Amir Khan. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
This is worth seeing. Let's catch up. Remember, Amir Khan | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
controversially lost his title belts to Lamont Peterson in | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Washington DC. Amir has insisted he was unfairly treated by the judges | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
and now this incredible footage has been unearthed. While the fight | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
goes on an unknown man repeatedly speaks to WBA supervisor Michael | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
Welsh. Amir believes he should not have been there, did not have any | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
accreditation and afterwards was seen celebrating in Peterson's | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
corner. There was a person, nobody in years -- nobody knows who he was. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
He was sat with officials on the judges' table. Through the fight | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
his head was down, going through papers and stuff and I want to know | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
who he was and what his role was, why he was sat there and what he | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
was basically doing because in my opinion he looked like he was | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
messing around with the judges'' cards. When the pictures came out | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
yesterday, people might have thought it was sour grapes and he | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
did not want to face facts but the more you see the pictures, the more | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
you think Amir Khan could have a point. He wants to know who it is. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
He has been told he will be told within 24 hours but the Washington | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Boxing Commission and the WBA both say at the moment they seem not to | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
know who he is. There are more serious implications. Have a look | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
at this. These are the judges' scorecards and you can see here | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
they are clearly altered while Amir and his team are asking if the | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
mystery man had a hand in their tent crucially they want to know if | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
the judges had a sudden change of mind at the end of the fight. | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
spoke to someone at the end of the fight and when I got there first | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
set-off score cards I was winning two-one. Then there was a big delay. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
It was straight after the fight. After a couple of minutes the score | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
cards were taken off him and he was given the scorecards back again | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
with Lamont Peterson winning this point, -- with Le Monde Peterson | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
winning this time. We have not heard the end of that. The official | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
appeal will be held later this month. Sir Alex Ferguson has said | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
he sees no need for United to hold talks with Liverpool to ease | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
tensions following the Luis Suarez case. It has been reported that | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Liverpool was seeking discussions with United amid fears of potential | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
problems the next time they play. Suarez is expected to play at Old | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Trafford, his first away game after completing his ban. Sir Alex's | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
annoyed that apparent overtures have been made through the media. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
You would have thought they would come to Manchester United but I | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
don't see why there is any need for that to be honest and I have | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
nothing to say about it, to be honest with you. Sir Alex has also | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
dismissed reports that United are going to make a �10 million bid for | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
Frank Lampard. Instead he is focusing on the FA Cup tie at | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
Manchester City, a chance to avenge the six-one defeat earlier this | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
season. City are disappointed that Yaya Toure will not play. He will | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
be missing at the African Cup of Nations. Roberto Mancini says he | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
needs more players but the club recently posted the biggest | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
financial loss in football history and he may have to sell before he | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
can buy any more. We have a problem because Yaya Toure is an important | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
player for us. For Sunday we have 17 players, we have 18 on the bench. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
For this reason I think it is better that we sell some players | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
before and after, if we need we can -- if we need maybe we can taken | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
more players. Kenny Dalglish will be relieved he can get back to | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
matters on the pitch when Liverpool play Oldham in the third round of | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
the FA Cup. 6,000 all Dame -- Oldham fans queued up in the | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
morning to get tickets and the League One side are determined to | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
put on a good performance. They have been fans queuing since for | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
road block in the morning to get tickets and that is fantastic. The | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
queues went all the way around the stadium and it shows what it means | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
to the fans and the club as well. People talk about Steven Gerrard | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
making his comeback from injury. Whether he starts is the big | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
question. However they put out they have world-class players. We are | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
the underdogs. We have seen it time and again that magic can happen and | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
that is what we are looking to do on the night. | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
For many people the most romantic fixture is the Fylde coast derby | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
between Fleetwood Town at Blackpool. It is more than three decades since | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
the two sides last met but we have managed to track down some footage | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
of the match in 1988 that you will not have seen before, which was | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
given to us by a black Paul Farmer, who filmed it from the terraces. | :20:28. | :20:38. | |

Here is Richard Askham. -- by a It was an era when The Jam topped | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
the charts, Blackpool, in blue, were in the old Third Division and | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
fleet would were non-League their bodies. A four-nil defeat that | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
older members of the Cod Army remember all too well. I can | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
remember anything about that, from going in the pub at the beginning | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
to coming home at the end on saying the best team won. It was a great | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
day out. This is what Fleetwood's ground looks like these days, after | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
millions of pounds of the development, but in 1980 it was a | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
different story. It was so ramshackle that Blackpool insisted | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
on the game being moved to Bloomfield Road. When I first | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
started here it was a little old ground, the grass was about two ft | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
high and they have started again, little sheds falling down. It has | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
been transformed now. From the chairman, a long-standing Blackpool | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
fan, did the manager, who used to play for the Seasiders, Town's | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
connections with their bigger brother down the road a very strong. | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
This man, David Frith, played for both clubs. His grandson is | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
Fleetwood's grandson -- grant a. Won a match day he used to drive | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
down to Stanley Matthews' house and walked the rest of the way to the | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
ground. Blackpool, in the Premier League last season of course, will | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
be favourites for this one. They are a progressive club and they | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
have us, which we probably didn't want to come to be honest. But it | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
is a brilliant scenario for them. We were asking for two it -- I even | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
had Santa asking for two tickets in the town centre so it has captured | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
the imagination of the hall Fylde coast. With Fleetwood one of the | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
snowballing success stories, few would expect -- few would express a | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
thrashing this time. City and United, but it is -- that | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
is what it is all about. Tune into your local radio stations this | :22:44. | :22:54. | |

They say that your wedding day should be one of the most special | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
days of your life but for one man just a couple it was even more | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
memorable. The ceremony was gatecrashed by an Oscar-winning | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
actress, none other than Meryl Streep! She was in Manchester to | :23:12. | :23:21. | |
film Iron Lady, the biopic about Margaret Thatcher. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
This couple use their wedding day would be incredibly special. But | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
little did they know that one of Hollywood's greatest stars would be | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
there. Somebody came out and said Meryl Streep is waiting in the town | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
hall. OK, we had better get out of the car. We got out of the car, I | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
was walking up with my dad. I did not think, I was thinking about | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
Meryl Streep and the wedding. impression was, OK, a bit concerned, | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
are they going to take over? As we went up the stairs it was so lovely. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
The whole of the cast were there. Meryl Streep was there as Margaret | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
Thatcher, we could not take it in. They were all applauding come a we | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
were walking up the stairs and it was really lovely. This grand | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
staircases lined with great political figures from the past so | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
it is no surprise it has been chosen as the perfect backdrop for | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
the Iron Lady. I think this building has a sense of civic pride | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
and power as you are walking around so they are able to use the shops | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
here and this building and show off so it almost looks like they are in | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
London when secretly we are very proud they have been able to use | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
the town hall here rest the setting up to show off our city. And for | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
one couple this city and the film will be forever linked to their | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
special day. I am going to meet my mum, I had a big bouquet of flowers, | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
they were from Meryl Streep. It did not feel real again, we were | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
laughing about it. We will watch the film and think that was at our | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
:25:06. | :25:07. | ||
wedding. That is a stunning story! Amazing. | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
The building is gorgeous, if you have never been to Manchester Town | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
Hall you really should. It is Not beautiful, I'm afraid. It will | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
be a weekend that you can get out and about and it could be culled. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
If you are heading out this evening, the day went to plan, sunshine in | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
the morning, the cloud buildings through the afternoon and spots of | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
drizzly rain are starting to develop over the next couple of | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
hours and they will become more widespread. You might bump into | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
that. There is not a huge amount around. Shortly after midnight you | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
will see cloud gradually breaking in places as the rain dies away and | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
dries up. Even though we will see breaks and the cloud cover I can't | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
see temperatures being a problem. We have the weft -- we have it | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
south-westerly wind, which is mild. Six-seven Celsius, may be a degree | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Celsius along the coast. Not feeling chilly tomorrow morning. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
For tomorrow, and mixed picture. You can see there is cloud cover | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
and over the highest ground there will be spots of drizzly rain from | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
time to time. It is north-westerly, which calls things off but every | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
now and then I think you will see some sunshine. It is not really | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
showing up here but I think you will catch a glimpse of sunshine. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
It will start to brighten your day. That north-westerly breeze does not | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
do us any favours, even though the temperatures will be eight or nine | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
Celsius. They are not rising that much from overnight values. It will | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
not feel as good as that with the breeze. From Saturday Night and | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Sunday, cloud cover, the temperatures are quite good. There | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
will be spots of drizzle from time to time. It is not going to be | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
amounting to too much more than that. For Sunday, Sunday does not | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
look like it will be a stunning day but it is not a bad one. I think | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
you will find the weather fronts come towards us for the tail-end of | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
the day. Most of the day will be dry for stopping the north-westerly | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
you can never discount the fact you will pick up a shower from time to | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
town. -- from time to time. Predominately cloudy, glimpses of | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
bike Asante drizzle every now and then. Temperatures ten Celsius. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
Gradually it starts to cool off again. Can you live with it? Just | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
about. You looked disappointed. least it is not blowing a gale any | :27:26. | :27:31. |
