:00:04. > :00:09.Good evening. Welcome to a special edition of North West tonight with
:00:09. > :00:17.Roger Johnson and Annabel Tiffin. A cold-blooded and ruthless killer
:00:17. > :00:20.who showed no hint of remorse. Dale Cregan will die in prison for
:00:20. > :00:25.murdering PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes in an act of premeditated
:00:25. > :00:33.savagery. The murders of all four victims, Mark Short, David Short,
:00:33. > :00:36.police customers Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes were nothing short of
:00:36. > :00:42.executions, planned, premeditated and cold-blooded.
:00:42. > :00:48.Tonight, for the first time, we can reveal the full story. So Creggan
:00:48. > :00:53.plotted for years to Mark Durkan the Shorts and ambush the police
:00:53. > :01:03.officers. It was a deliberate trap. Police released the 999 call made by
:01:03. > :01:10.
:01:10. > :01:15.Cregan and responded to by the two the Droylsden in her dying moments.
:01:15. > :01:23.I stayed with her and told her everything was going to be all
:01:23. > :01:25.right. -- who comforted Nicola Hughes in her dying moments.
:01:25. > :01:31.speaking for the first time, their families speak about living with
:01:31. > :01:41.their loss. He has taken my daughter from me. I cannot forgive him for
:01:41. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:50.that and that is nothing I can do He is a cold-blooded and ruthless
:01:50. > :01:56.killer. A man who acted with premeditated savagery when he killed
:01:56. > :01:59.two unarmed policewomen. Today, the families of PCs Fiona Bone and
:01:59. > :02:05.Nicola Hughes wept in court as Dale Cregan was told he will spend the
:02:05. > :02:07.rest of his life in prison. Cregan initially denied what he had done.
:02:08. > :02:11.But as his four-month trial progressed, he began to change his
:02:11. > :02:16.story. First he admitted he had killed PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona
:02:16. > :02:20.Bone. Then weeks later, he confessed to the murders of father and son
:02:20. > :02:24.David and Mark Short. Today, others who helped him with the Short
:02:24. > :02:27.murders were convicted by the jury. Tonight, in this special edition of
:02:27. > :02:35.North West Tonight, we can tell you the full story for the first time.
:02:35. > :02:39.Let us join our Chief Reporter Dave Guest outside Preston Crown Court.
:02:39. > :02:46.This has been a long and harrowing trial for many involved, but it has
:02:46. > :02:51.to be said, Dale Cregan had the air of a man with no gear macro in the
:02:52. > :02:57.world. He went back in to hear his sentence. -- with no clear in the
:02:57. > :03:02.world. He was laughing and joking as he waited. As the sentence was
:03:02. > :03:09.given, he said he had observed that Cregan and many in the dock showed
:03:09. > :03:13.no sign of remorse, people driven by self-interest. He said a conviction
:03:13. > :03:19.for murder in Everton a attracted a life sentence, but life men live
:03:19. > :03:25.only in exceptional circumstances. Those in the dog today conducted of
:03:25. > :03:31.the murders of Mark Short and David Short were told they would serve
:03:32. > :03:41.minimum sentences of between 30-35 years, but Cregan received the whole
:03:42. > :03:42.
:03:42. > :03:46.life Taro, so he will never leave prison. He has a long history of
:03:46. > :03:51.violence going back to his teens, losing one night during a bar room
:03:51. > :03:58.brawl in Thailand. This time last year, few had heard of his name. But
:03:58. > :04:02.it was a name that was to become infamous across the land.
:04:02. > :04:06.Hyde Police Station, September 18th 2012. Britain's most wanted fugitive
:04:06. > :04:10.is handing himself in. Dale Cregan tells stunned officer, I am wanted
:04:10. > :04:14.by the police and I have just done two coppers. The two coppers were
:04:14. > :04:17.police constables Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes. They were lying dead
:04:17. > :04:27.in the garden of this house just a few miles away in Mottram. Cregan
:04:27. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:04.referred to the police operator as the words, I will be waiting. And he
:05:04. > :05:07.was, armed with a Glock pistol and grenade. He had chosen the house for
:05:07. > :05:10.the clear view it offered of anyone arriving in the cul-de-sac. And so,
:05:10. > :05:17.as the officers approached the house, Cregan opened fire. They did
:05:17. > :05:20.not stand a chance. Fiona tried to use her Taser. But it was no use.
:05:20. > :05:28.Nicola was shot repeatedly as she lay on the ground. Cregan fired 30
:05:28. > :05:31.shots in as many seconds. His parting act was to lob a grenade at
:05:31. > :05:36.the officers. Fiona and Nicola were beat bobbies answering a routine
:05:36. > :05:42.call. They were not armed. I just heard several banks, shots, then a
:05:42. > :05:48.massive bang at the end. I shared a woman crying out in pain. It was
:05:48. > :05:51.scary. So scary in fact that this woman asked us not to reveal her
:05:51. > :05:56.identity. Others who witnessed what happened here that day still cannot
:05:56. > :06:02.believe what they saw. To think that I was next-door cleaning the windows
:06:02. > :06:07.when he was still inside, written's most wanted. You do not expect it.
:06:08. > :06:13.It was like something out of Hollywood. People running around
:06:13. > :06:18.panicking, in shock, and the one lady that said to me, I think he has
:06:18. > :06:24.done it, meaning the grenade. dropped the empty pistol and headed
:06:24. > :06:27.straight to Hyde Police Station just a few minutes' drive away. He was to
:06:27. > :06:30.tell police they had been hassling his family so he had done the same
:06:30. > :06:34.to theirs. The police knew they had the culprit. At a news conference,
:06:34. > :06:40.the Chief Constable made it plain he believed Cregan was the killer.
:06:40. > :06:42.has deliberately done this. An act of absolutely cold-blooded murder.
:06:42. > :06:45.But these comments, and the resulting headlines, drew criticism
:06:45. > :06:49.from the judiciary who reminded everyone a suspect is innocent until
:06:49. > :06:53.proven guilty. Indeed, having told police he had killed their
:06:53. > :06:58.colleagues, Cregan then told the jury he hadn't. So the case was
:06:58. > :07:01.under way. Cregan's daily trip to Preston Crown Court was enveloped in
:07:01. > :07:07.the tightest of security. The convoy became a routine site for commuters
:07:07. > :07:12.on the M61. The court itself a fortress with armed police on duty
:07:12. > :07:15.inside and out. For the families of the fallen officers, there was the
:07:16. > :07:19.trauma of listening to the harrowing details of their final hours. --
:07:19. > :07:26.final moments. Then, one day four of his trial, Cregan surprised
:07:27. > :07:30.everyone. He admitted killing the two police officers. But although he
:07:30. > :07:33.had admitted to the atrocity in Abbey Gardens, the story was far
:07:33. > :07:39.from over. Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone were not his first victims.
:07:39. > :07:44.Cregan had killed before. Because, of course, she had already
:07:44. > :07:48.murdered father and son David and Mark Short. The judge said this
:07:48. > :07:54.afternoon that the crime of murder ends one life, but ruining many
:07:54. > :07:59.more, and some of those whose lives had been ruined by Cregan's crimes
:07:59. > :08:03.give their reaction outside court. Our lives have been shattered and
:08:04. > :08:08.will never be the same again. To have a child taken away in such a
:08:08. > :08:13.cruel and meaningless way is the worst thing any parent can imagine.
:08:13. > :08:19.No sentence served by the people murdered can ever be long enough to
:08:19. > :08:25.deflect the pain and suffering caused by their loss. I miss David
:08:25. > :08:31.and Mark so much, my heart aches for them every waking hour. The murders
:08:31. > :08:35.of all four victims, Mark Short, David Short, police officers Fiona
:08:35. > :08:42.Bone and Nicola Hughes were nothing short of executions, land,
:08:42. > :08:46.premeditated and cold-blooded. of course, that trail of executions
:08:46. > :08:51.eventually led to the court here in Preston. But the chill of death
:08:51. > :09:01.actually began in the Greater Manchester town of Droylsden just
:09:01. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:06.over a year ago. Yes, Dale Cregan's first victim was
:09:06. > :09:09.Mark Short. Killed here at the Cotton Tree pub in Droylsden last
:09:09. > :09:13.May. CCTV captured the gunmen running into the pub. Seven shots
:09:13. > :09:16.were fired. Mark Short, an amateur boxer with a history of criminal
:09:16. > :09:20.violence, died. Three other people were hurt. Dale Cregan, of course,
:09:20. > :09:25.the man with the gun. But Luke Livesey and Damian Gorman also
:09:25. > :09:30.played a part in the murder. Cregan and some of his co-accused lay low
:09:30. > :09:33.in Thailand. Flying business class and living in five-star luxury. On
:09:33. > :09:36.their return to Manchester in June, they were arrested. But the police
:09:36. > :09:40.released them on bail pending further enquiries. By early August,
:09:40. > :09:44.Cregan had disappeared again. This time to Bowness in the Lake District
:09:44. > :09:49.with his family. Then, on August 10th, Cregan resurfaced to kill
:09:49. > :09:52.again. His next victim was David Short, Mark Short's father. Cregan,
:09:52. > :09:57.Anthony Wilkinson and Jermaine Ward murdered him in his own home in
:09:57. > :10:01.Clayton. He was chased through the house and shot many times. Cregan
:10:01. > :10:04.then threw a grenade on him. A short while later, Cregan launched a
:10:04. > :10:11.grenade at another house before going on the run. Mohammed Imran Ali
:10:11. > :10:15.organised a hideout in Yorkshire. And despite a �50,000 reward offered
:10:15. > :10:19.for his capture, Cregan was not found for more than a month. Until
:10:19. > :10:29.the day he made a 999 call and lured police officers Fiona Bone and
:10:29. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:33.One man who comforted PC Nicola Hughes as she lay dying has told
:10:33. > :10:37.North West Tonight what he saw will live with him forever. Still
:10:37. > :10:41.traumatised by what happened, he asked us to conceal his identity.
:10:41. > :10:45.But he agreed to speak exclusively to the BBC and described to us the
:10:45. > :10:55.events of that terrible September morning. All of a sudden, I cared
:10:55. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:00.some bangs -- heard some bangs. I thought it was fireworks, then went
:11:00. > :11:04.outside and saw a neighbour jumping over a fence, then someone shouting
:11:04. > :11:12.that they had been shot. My neighbours started calling the
:11:12. > :11:17.police, I saw Nicola and Fiona. Fiona was under the window, not
:11:17. > :11:24.moving or anything, just lying under the window. But I could see that
:11:24. > :11:30.Nicola was near the gate and she was breathing. So I just went and sat
:11:30. > :11:36.with her. I do not know what else was going on. I just stayed with her
:11:36. > :11:44.and told her everything was going to be all right. You do not want to do,
:11:44. > :11:54.because there is nothing you can do. But I just got, she is not much
:11:54. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:58.older than my daughter, what gets me the most is I was with Nicola. And
:11:58. > :12:08.Fiona was under the window with no wonder for her. I do not know
:12:08. > :12:12.whether she was dead. I know now that she was, but... I didn't at the
:12:12. > :12:19.time, but I couldn't go to her. It is still in your head that you did
:12:19. > :12:24.nothing. But you do get told you did what you could, and there was
:12:24. > :12:32.nothing you could have done. It doesn't really matter, does it? They
:12:32. > :12:37.are still gone. 32-year-old PC Fiona Bone had been a
:12:37. > :12:41.police officer for five years. She grew up in Port St Mary on the Isle
:12:41. > :12:46.of Man. Before work on the morning of her death, she had been sorting
:12:46. > :12:49.out invitations for her civil partnership. Nicola Hughes was 23.
:12:49. > :12:52.Growing up in the village of Diggle in Saddleworth, she dreamed of
:12:52. > :12:57.joining the police. She had served with them for three years when she
:12:57. > :13:00.was killed on duty. More than 50,000 people, most of whom had never met
:13:00. > :13:05.the two police officers, signed books of condolence. Both online and
:13:05. > :13:07.in police stations and churches. And many were alongside hundreds of
:13:07. > :13:13.police officers paying their respects at the women's funerals
:13:13. > :13:17.when Manchester stood still to remember its loss.
:13:17. > :13:24.Clearly, this is one of the darkest days in the history of Greater
:13:24. > :13:31.Manchester Police. A week ago today, the world was deprived of two
:13:31. > :13:41.beautiful human beings. The police service lost two rising stars. The
:13:41. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:46.community lost two dedicated servants. CHURCH BELL TOLLS.
:13:46. > :13:53.Regardless of whether they knew her, everyone feels the same, feeling
:13:53. > :14:03.proud today. A life cut short by the forces of lethal at such a young
:14:03. > :14:05.age. -- forces of evil. Nicola and Fiona were police
:14:05. > :14:13.officers. But they were also daughters. Tonight, their families
:14:13. > :14:17.remember the day they died and the loved ones that they lost.
:14:17. > :14:24.Nicola had a really wicked sense of humour. She always saw the fun side
:14:24. > :14:30.of life. She was determined to join the police and that is what she did.
:14:31. > :14:36.She wanted to make a difference. Yes, and ultimately, I think she
:14:36. > :14:44.has. She was a lovely, bubbly person. It is hard to imagine she
:14:44. > :14:54.has gone. We first saw it on the one o'clock news that two people had
:14:54. > :14:55.
:14:55. > :15:00.been injured, I think it was, in mortar -- Mottram. We were thinking
:15:00. > :15:05.of giving Fiona ring, then there was a knock on the door. I was driving
:15:05. > :15:12.home from work, then had a call from a DCI jus wanted to speak to me. He
:15:12. > :15:21.was waiting, and he said he was outside the house, and that is when
:15:21. > :15:26.you start to realise something is seriously wrong. We are getting used
:15:26. > :15:35.to it, because of the nature of the death and the trial, the prolonged
:15:35. > :15:44.drawnout agony of it all. We are hoping, now it is finished, we can
:15:44. > :15:52.begin to recover. The outpouring of public grief, that has helped us to
:15:52. > :15:57.know we are not on our own. Yes.But in terms of dealing with it in
:15:57. > :16:01.private, having that kind of private time, I think that is yet to come.
:16:01. > :16:08.As a parent, you are in that expectation that your children will
:16:08. > :16:14.be there for when you die. deliberately decide, I am going to
:16:14. > :16:22.kill a policeman today, because I do not like them, it seems unreal. It
:16:22. > :16:28.is a level of callousness and no empathy with anybody. It is beyond,
:16:28. > :16:33.really, my comprehension. He has taken my daughter from me. I cannot
:16:33. > :16:41.for give him from that -- for that. And there is nothing I can do about
:16:41. > :16:45.it either. I do not think you can even give it justice of how proud
:16:45. > :16:51.you are of Nicola for what ever she did, even now, for what ever she is
:16:51. > :17:01.still doing now. All of the things she did, she made me proud. I really
:17:01. > :17:05.miss her every day. The reflections of Fiona Bone and
:17:05. > :17:09.Nicola Hughes's families. We will have more on the conclusion of the
:17:09. > :17:15.Dale Cregan murder trial in a moment.
:17:15. > :17:17.Other news from the North West now. The government has said the widow
:17:17. > :17:20.and son of Middleton soldier Lee Rigby, murdered in Woolwich last
:17:20. > :17:24.month, will receive money from the state. There had been concern his
:17:24. > :17:27.family would not receive their full allowance as he was not killed on
:17:27. > :17:30.active duty. But the Leader of the Commons told MPs that they would be
:17:31. > :17:34.provided for. Drugs worth more than �2 million
:17:34. > :17:38.have been seized at Manchester Airport. On Friday, 35 kilos of
:17:38. > :17:41.heroin was found in luggage arriving from Pakistan. It is believed to be
:17:41. > :17:45.the single biggest discovery of its kind at the airport. The previous
:17:45. > :17:48.day, a large amount of cocaine was discovered on a flight from the
:17:48. > :17:50.Dominican Republic. Two men have been charged.
:17:50. > :17:54.The trust that runs Wythenshawe Hospital says publishing performance
:17:54. > :17:58.tables for its consultants will improve patient choice. Critics say
:17:58. > :18:03.it is impossible to devise a ratings system for such a complex job. But
:18:03. > :18:06.the hospital says it will drive up standards.
:18:06. > :18:11.Centrica, the owner of British Gas, has taken a 25% stake in Cuadrilla's
:18:11. > :18:16.shale gas exploration in Lancashire. It says it is important to develop
:18:17. > :18:20.affordable domestic gas resources. Cuadrilla says it is being seen as a
:18:20. > :18:24.major boost to their plans to resume fracking in the county.
:18:24. > :18:29.And four new buildings in the North West have been given national awards
:18:29. > :18:31.by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Chetham's School of
:18:31. > :18:33.Music in Manchester, St Silas Primary School in Blackburn,
:18:33. > :18:36.Manchester Metropolitan Business School and Marks & Spencer at
:18:36. > :18:40.Cheshire Oaks in Ellesmere Port have all been recognised for their modern
:18:40. > :18:44.design. Back now to our main story this
:18:44. > :18:48.evening. The conclusion of the Dale Cregan murder trial in Preston
:18:48. > :18:51.today. Cregan had been on the run for five weeks when he killed police
:18:51. > :18:54.constables Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes. By then, he was British
:18:54. > :18:59.police's number one target. Forces all across the UK were looking for
:18:59. > :19:02.him. But was enough done to find him? Were the police tactics right?
:19:02. > :19:05.And should more have been done to protect officers on the street?
:19:05. > :19:10.Questions Chief Reporter Dave Guest put to the Chief Constable of
:19:10. > :19:16.Greater Manchester Police. Obviously, we have agonised about
:19:16. > :19:20.this and the impact of the case and the deaths of Fiona and Nicola have
:19:20. > :19:24.been greater, perhaps because we were desperately searching for
:19:24. > :19:30.Cregan and other people in the weeks leading up to that. That was
:19:30. > :19:36.consuming as 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the number one priority
:19:36. > :19:39.for British policing. We used every tactic we could lawfully, so it was
:19:39. > :19:45.hugely frustrating that, having gone into that, we do not think there was
:19:45. > :19:50.anything more we could have done. There was a group of people
:19:50. > :19:54.protecting him. Certain techniques he used. And clearly, particularly,
:19:54. > :20:02.he went to an address he knew was not on our system that we would not
:20:02. > :20:07.know about weird he lured Fiona and Nicola to their deaths. When he was
:20:07. > :20:14.arrested, he said, you are harming my family, so I have taken it out on
:20:14. > :20:19.you. Were you harming his family? think it was his perverted sense of
:20:19. > :20:24.justice. We were carrying out enquiries to people Cregan new and
:20:24. > :20:32.his associates to find out where he was. That included visiting his
:20:32. > :20:39.family. We were concerned about the poor -- about the risk he proposed.
:20:39. > :20:45.We were prepared to use any lawful means to find him. There would be no
:20:45. > :20:49.change of tactics? Absolutely not. It is twisted logic to kill two
:20:49. > :20:54.police officers because we were carrying out enquiries. It was of
:20:54. > :20:58.concern to us that, if he came across police officers, or someone
:20:58. > :21:03.tried to arrest him, he would absolutely have been prepared to
:21:03. > :21:08.shoot. That was very much part of planning, why we had so many armed
:21:08. > :21:13.officers patrolling the area and surrounding areas, but we had to
:21:13. > :21:18.continue normal day-to-day policing. And in our former
:21:18. > :21:24.policing, we could not am every single police officer in Greater
:21:24. > :21:31.Manchester. We could not am every single police officer. And he
:21:31. > :21:35.exploited that. -- we could not arm. Sir Peter Fahy speaking to Dave
:21:35. > :21:40.Guest. Cregan was a man with a reputation in Tameside. A drug
:21:40. > :21:43.dealer who people knew not to cross. But few could imagine he would be
:21:43. > :21:47.capable of murder, and four murders altogether. Cregan had a deep rooted
:21:47. > :21:48.hatred of the Short family. That hatred was to spill over into the
:21:48. > :21:53.community with terrible consequences. Abbie Jones has been
:21:53. > :21:56.looking at how Cregan became a killer.
:21:56. > :21:59.Dale Cregan had hated the Short family since he was a boy. As a
:21:59. > :22:03.child, he fought younger members who came from Clayton to his Droylsden

:22:06. > :22:12.hatred reached boiling point, ordinary people got caught in the
:22:12. > :22:15.crossfire. I was told I had to close the gym because of a bomb threat.
:22:15. > :22:19.Joe Pennington runs a boxing gym in Clayton where the Shorts used to
:22:19. > :22:24.train. After their murders, with Cregan on the run, he was told it
:22:24. > :22:29.could be a target. Shocked us. The bomb threat. It happened around the
:22:29. > :22:33.corner, so we knew it was real and closed the gym. Those who knew
:22:33. > :22:37.Cregan, or his reputation, says he ran things in Tameside. And he was
:22:37. > :22:41.willing to use violence to get his own way. He was fascinated by knives
:22:41. > :22:44.and boasted of earning up to �20,000 per week dealing drugs. We have
:22:45. > :22:49.spoken to one man too afraid to appear on camera. He says people
:22:49. > :22:54.knew not to go to the police. people, their reputation always
:22:54. > :22:58.travels before them. He was ruthless and people were scared of him.
:22:58. > :23:01.Ruthless and obsessed with killing David Short. He told a psychiatrist
:23:01. > :23:04.he had fantasised about killing him for five years. But it was his son,
:23:04. > :23:07.Mark, he murdered first at this Droylsden pub. He had drunk ten
:23:07. > :23:11.bottles of beer and taken cocaine. Then, fearing retaliation, he killed
:23:11. > :23:16.David Short. He said later that night he had the best sleep of his
:23:16. > :23:20.life. Cregan used military grenades for the first time in a murder on
:23:20. > :23:26.the UK mainland. On a residential road. In broad daylight. They were
:23:26. > :23:33.to become his calling card. A stash of the weapons, believed to be his,
:23:33. > :23:38.were found hidden in an Oldham storm drain during his trial. He was to
:23:38. > :23:43.use them again against PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes when his
:23:43. > :23:49.anger turns towards the police. many injuries, we do not know what
:23:49. > :23:54.damage would be done. It is a worrying trend of police use
:23:54. > :23:58.grenades. Police say tensions are still high in this area of
:23:58. > :24:01.Manchester and a large number of people are still on their threats to
:24:01. > :24:04.life register, which means they have been given warnings their lives are
:24:04. > :24:08.in danger. David Short was issued with three threats to life warnings
:24:08. > :24:13.before he died. Greater Manchester Police gave out 130 in total last
:24:13. > :24:19.year. And 130 in 2011. More than the Metropolitan Police issued in both
:24:19. > :24:24.years. Police have been quick to clamp down on criminal behaviour in
:24:24. > :24:28.Tameside since last year's brutal killings. A warning that local
:24:28. > :24:33.rivalries must never again lead to such terrible tragedy.
:24:34. > :24:39.It was indeed a terrible tragedy. Let us join Abbie now in Mottram,
:24:39. > :24:44.where the two police officers were murdered.
:24:44. > :24:48.Just how that long-running bad blood between criminal figures living some
:24:48. > :24:52.ten miles away from here could result in the deaths of two police
:24:52. > :24:58.officers is dumping this community is still juggling to come to terms
:24:58. > :25:05.with and understand. We still do not fully know why Cregan set his deadly
:25:05. > :25:09.trap here, and probably never will. The police believe he wanted to
:25:09. > :25:12.ensure he became some kind of folk hero. But police living here, the
:25:12. > :25:15.officers' families and their colleagues are determined not to
:25:15. > :25:23.remember Cregan. But the two brave policewomen who died here serving
:25:23. > :25:27.their community. Thank you very much indeed. BBC Radio Manchester will

:25:47. > :25:53.Tomorrow is not that dissimilar to today. More rain and the wind will
:25:53. > :25:57.continue to be strong. This was the line the rain to today, by about
:25:57. > :26:03.three o'clock, most places seeing the back of it. And some sunshine
:26:03. > :26:10.appearing. But still some showers waiting in their C. Some of those
:26:10. > :26:14.will fall apart. -- waiting in the Irish tea. Hopefully most of us will
:26:14. > :26:20.be dry through the night. Many places becoming clear for a short
:26:20. > :26:25.while. Temperatures could be as low as six or seven degrees with that
:26:25. > :26:32.clear weather in the sunshine -- in the countryside. But the cloud rolls
:26:32. > :26:38.back in in the early hours. Nine or 11 degrees possible. The sun is up
:26:38. > :26:43.tomorrow morning very early, but you will not see it because the line is
:26:43. > :26:48.weather -- the line of weather pushes in, becoming more organised
:26:48. > :26:53.and heavy rain for a good portion of the morning, articulate in the
:26:53. > :26:58.north, but not exclusively so. It gets much more showery in the
:26:58. > :27:02.afternoon, then drying up for most places for a short while. The wind
:27:02. > :27:07.going back to the south, with temperatures up to 18 degrees, but
