:00:04. > :00:07.Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and Jayne McCubbin.
:00:07. > :00:10.Our top story: Bovine TB - the North West is now
:00:10. > :00:20.the new front-line against a disease that's claiming the lives of 100
:00:20. > :00:23.
:00:23. > :00:26.cattle a day. Herod, my income goes. -- if I lose my hair. The Government
:00:26. > :00:29.says it wants to eradicate the disease in a decade. Also tonight:
:00:29. > :00:37.Getting on your bike. A multi-million pound cash boost for
:00:37. > :00:40.Greater Manchester and the Peak District, to make cycling easier.
:00:40. > :00:42.Creating a home from whole. The �30m plan to transform Chester Zoo into
:00:43. > :00:47.one of Europe's finest. The watch-like device which could
:00:47. > :00:50.predict how healthy you are and how long you might live.
:00:50. > :01:00.And honoured for his bravery, seventy years late. The war veteran
:01:00. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:13.from Ellesmere Port finally recognised for his courage.
:01:13. > :01:15.The North West today became the new front line in the battle against
:01:15. > :01:18.bovine Tuberculosis. The Government is to spend millions
:01:18. > :01:22.on stopping the spread of the disease - with Cheshire and
:01:23. > :01:25.Derbyshire as the priority areas. Stuart Flinders has more.
:01:25. > :01:30.Bovine Tuberculosis is the biggest single animal health issue in
:01:30. > :01:35.Britain and the biggest threat to the dairy industry. Its spread has
:01:35. > :01:38.been dramatic. From a few isolated cases in the South West in the
:01:38. > :01:43.1980s, it now affects large areas of the country and it's been steadily
:01:43. > :01:48.moving north. The costs in animal lives, as well as money, are
:01:48. > :01:51.horrific. Around 100 cattle a day are being slaughtered. 12,000
:01:52. > :01:55.between January and April this year alone. And it's costing the tax
:01:55. > :01:59.payer around �1 billion a year in compensation, to farmers and funding
:02:00. > :02:03.preventative measures. Today, the Government announced plans to stop
:02:03. > :02:06.the disease spreading any further North. Dairy herds in Cheshire and
:02:06. > :02:13.Derbsyhire, the so-called "edge areas", will be at the centre of
:02:13. > :02:16.that battle. TB has already been found in Richard
:02:16. > :02:20.Fair's herd, so now, he's carrying out new tests to see if it's still
:02:21. > :02:24.there. Increased testing is at the heart of DEFRA's new measures, which
:02:24. > :02:34.are broadly welcomed here, where TB isn't just a matter of animal
:02:34. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:37.welfare, it threatens the very future of the farm. We've borrowed a
:02:37. > :02:42.lot of money to build a brand-new, state-of-the-art dairy unit. I've
:02:42. > :02:48.got to pay that back. I need my milk income to pay that money back. We
:02:48. > :02:54.are talking millions? Oh, yes. If I was half my haired, half my income
:02:54. > :03:04.goes. -- loos have my heard. In the country's worst affected
:03:04. > :03:06.
:03:06. > :03:13.areas, further South, a cull of is to target the edge areas, to stop
:03:13. > :03:16.the spread of the disease. In the country's worst affected areas, a
:03:16. > :03:19.cull of badgers which spread bovine TB has been authorised but is
:03:19. > :03:22.controversial. Vaccination's been tried in some parts of Cheshire and
:03:22. > :03:30.DEFRA wants to extend tests of its effectiveness. But how confident can
:03:30. > :03:34.the rest of the north west be that TB won't spread? It would be very
:03:34. > :03:40.foolish to say categorically. What I am saying is that what we are doing
:03:40. > :03:44.is the best that we can offer on the best scientific advice in order to
:03:44. > :03:46.minimise the chance of that happening. It is about time that we
:03:46. > :03:49.remembered that over the last 20 years we have seen this disease
:03:49. > :03:52.spread without remorse. The Government says its strategy is
:03:52. > :03:56.sensible and comprehensive, but farmers here say the policy can be
:03:56. > :04:00.judged only by results. Only last month, the Government
:04:00. > :04:04.declared its intention to rid the whole of England of TB within 25
:04:04. > :04:09.years. But that may be too long for some farmers. Last October, I
:04:09. > :04:13.visited Phil Latham on his farm, in Cheshire. He lost 80 cows to TB.
:04:13. > :04:17.This morning, he told me that he's in the process of selling half his
:04:17. > :04:21.herd - 270 cows - because he simply can't afford to expose his business
:04:21. > :04:29.to the risk posed by TB. Farmers are having to make hard decisions with
:04:29. > :04:32.no real sign that the disease is in retreat. Thanks.
:04:32. > :04:37.A murder investigation's underway in Lancashire after a woman's body was
:04:37. > :04:45.found in a house. Detectives say the woman's death may be linked to an
:04:45. > :04:52.apparent suicide, after the body of a man was found on a railway track.
:04:52. > :04:59.Let's get the latest on this from our reporter, Ian Haslam. Let's take
:04:59. > :05:08.these two bodies, individually. What can you tell is about the woman?
:05:08. > :05:17.Rodger, the woman has been named locally as Judas, 57, although the
:05:18. > :05:23.police have -- are yet to confirm that. -- Judas. It was just after
:05:23. > :05:27.830 when the police were called to this house. A post-mortem
:05:27. > :05:32.examination has been called out and as revealed because of death to be
:05:32. > :05:39.multiple injuries, including stab wounds. What about the man who was
:05:39. > :05:46.found in the real weak track? man has also been named as Nigel,
:05:46. > :05:51.58, Judith's husband. They are treating this as a murder suicide.
:05:51. > :05:55.His body was found yesterday morning. Police say he had been hit
:05:55. > :06:02.by a train and his death has not being treated as suspicious. It has
:06:02. > :06:06.left the community in shock. They don't socialise. They are always,
:06:06. > :06:11.you know, seeing low and have lived here a long time and I have known
:06:11. > :06:17.them a long time. -- they always say hello. It is just a shock, it really
:06:18. > :06:26.is. We are quite a close-knit community. Everyone is shocked. It
:06:26. > :06:29.is out of the normal. Lancashire Police tailors the investigation is
:06:29. > :06:34.in its early stages but they are not looking for anyone else at the
:06:34. > :06:37.moment. A tragic story, thank you very much.
:06:37. > :06:40.Manchester's to share in millions of pounds being made available to
:06:41. > :06:43.improve cycle routes. The Government wants to see more of us getting on
:06:43. > :06:47.our bikes and invited cities to bid for cash.
:06:47. > :06:57.So what exactly will it be spent on? Our chief reporter, Dave Guest, has
:06:57. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:03.been finding out. This is near to the city centre. It
:07:03. > :07:07.is a very busy thoroughfare. Loads of buses and cyclists, especially
:07:07. > :07:10.during term time, because there are schools abroad. This is one of the
:07:10. > :07:15.roads that will benefit from that �20 million made available by the
:07:15. > :07:19.Government today. I've been finding out more.
:07:19. > :07:22.Cycling in a city centre is not necessarily for the faint-hearted.
:07:22. > :07:29.It is quite entertaining because there are a lot of cars and you have
:07:29. > :07:33.to avoid them. I quite like it, personally. Scary?Quite a lot of
:07:33. > :07:37.people are scared. Cycling in and around Manchester should become
:07:37. > :07:45.safer over the coming years. The city has been awarded �20 million
:07:45. > :07:52.from the Government's grants. will enable us to introduce a number
:07:52. > :07:57.of measures to really change the landscape for cycling within this
:07:57. > :08:01.area, the position of safe, secure facilities. Really, a cultural
:08:01. > :08:05.change to make cycling much more attractive. Some of the money will
:08:05. > :08:09.be used to create exclusive cycle lanes along Oxford Road in
:08:09. > :08:13.Manchester. The route is already due to undergo a major revamp in the
:08:13. > :08:18.next couple of years which will see part of its length devoted entirely
:08:18. > :08:21.to buses, taxis and bicycles. The rest of the money will be used to
:08:21. > :08:26.link up some of Greater Manchester's disconnected cycleways.
:08:26. > :08:34.It will mean that eventually, people will be able to cycle directly into
:08:34. > :08:38.the city centre from outlying areas. It will -- it will definitely
:08:38. > :08:41.encourage people. I know a lot of people who have been skewered.
:08:41. > :08:46.Government were keen to stress that they want to increase people
:08:46. > :08:49.cycling. The opposition government points out that since it has come to
:08:49. > :08:53.power this government has withdrawn funding for a lot of cycling
:08:54. > :08:58.initiatives. What of cities that have not received some of the money
:08:58. > :09:02.Mr Michael Liverpool were turned down. The city said it was
:09:02. > :09:06.disappointed at Liverpool has been given other funding to set up a
:09:06. > :09:11.citywide cycle hire scheme, a kind of Merseyside equivalent of the
:09:11. > :09:16.Boris bikes in London. That is due to be launched next year. Around
:09:16. > :09:26.Greater Manchester, cyclists are looking forward to a safer future.
:09:26. > :09:29.
:09:29. > :09:33.According to the statistics, many -- there are many more bike journeys
:09:33. > :09:38.made in Holland and the Government wants us to get to their level.
:09:39. > :09:41.Let's talk more about this with Eleanor Roaf is regional director
:09:42. > :09:45.for the charity Sustrans which works with Local Authorities and transport
:09:45. > :09:48.bodies to develop strategies for better cycling. We will take it as a
:09:48. > :09:52.given that this is good news for Manchester and the Peak District,
:09:52. > :09:57.what about those who have missed out? It is a real disappointment
:09:57. > :10:00.that some cities have missed out but all of cities put in fantastic beds
:10:00. > :10:05.and often had to match funding so I am really hoping that they will be
:10:05. > :10:10.able to access that to start making some of the changes that need to be
:10:10. > :10:12.made to the roads. I don't think people can afford not to. We've got
:10:13. > :10:17.economic, environmental and health benefits from cycling. The country
:10:17. > :10:25.needs us to cycle. At a time when everybody's budget, whatever city
:10:25. > :10:31.ER, their budget is being squeezed. How do you prioritise cycling?
:10:31. > :10:34.need to look at some of the costs of not doing this. We have some of the
:10:34. > :10:39.busiest roads in Europe. Not all traffic can be fixed by bikes but
:10:39. > :10:43.some can. You only for journeys under five miles. We need to look at
:10:43. > :10:48.the health benefits we will get if we can get more people active,
:10:48. > :10:53.either walking or cycling. It is a divisive issue. Whenever we talk
:10:53. > :10:56.about people using bikes to commute to work there are drivers who are
:10:56. > :11:02.enraged by the leader of drivers under cyclists who are enraged by
:11:02. > :11:06.drivers. Why is it so important that we get onto bikes? It is really
:11:06. > :11:08.important that we do this for our own health but also for the
:11:08. > :11:13.environmental benefits and the economic benefits. We know that
:11:14. > :11:22.people who cycle take half as many 60s -- six days of other people. We
:11:22. > :11:25.know the cost of congestion. Part of the reason may be that it is really
:11:25. > :11:30.annoying if you're sitting in your car and somebody zooms up on the
:11:30. > :11:33.inside of you. Exactly. Let's hope it can be made safer for everybody
:11:33. > :11:37.to get there quicker. We are out of time. Thank you very much. ?NEWLINE
:11:37. > :11:40.A trial date has been set for January, for three men accused of
:11:40. > :11:44.the murder of a man in Cheshire. Remains, believed to be Frenchman
:11:44. > :11:46.Christophe Borgye, were found at a house in Ellesmere Port, in May.
:11:46. > :11:51.He'd been missing since 2009. Sebastian Bendou and Dominik Kocher
:11:51. > :11:53.face murder charges. Manuel Wagner, who faces charges of burying and
:11:53. > :11:57.concealing the body, has been sectioned under the Mental Health
:11:58. > :12:07.Act. The Prime Minister's given his full
:12:08. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:12.temples in the North West has officially re-opened after a �2.5
:12:12. > :12:15.million renovation. There have been extensions to classrooms and the
:12:15. > :12:22.prayer room at the Swami-Narayan Mandir in Bolton. It can now cater
:12:22. > :12:25.for almost 1,000 worshippers. A new daily pill could help dozens of
:12:25. > :12:29.patients with skin cancer to avoid surgery.
:12:29. > :12:34.Large tumours on the head and neck can sometimes be unsuitable for
:12:34. > :12:39.operations or radiotherapy but the drug can help shrink their size. You
:12:39. > :12:44.may find some images in this report distressing.
:12:44. > :12:46.Imagine these skin cancers on your face or neck. As well as being
:12:46. > :12:52.potentially life-threatening, patients say the confidence is
:12:52. > :12:59.shattered and the disfigurements can be extremely distressing. But these
:12:59. > :13:04.pictures from the manufacturers of a new drug show trials in the US and
:13:04. > :13:12.now here in the north-west are bringing significant improvements.
:13:12. > :13:16.Though, they say, results varied magically from patient to patient.
:13:16. > :13:23.have had tumours from down here, across here and over here. And under
:13:23. > :13:29.both eyes. Sally Webster needs regular surgery to remove tumours.
:13:29. > :13:33.For many like her, the only option is painful surgery and radiotherapy.
:13:33. > :13:39.But that can lead to new problems and leave bad scarring. Over 40
:13:39. > :13:42.people have so far successfully trialled the new drug. I have seen
:13:42. > :13:47.some patients that within three or four weeks, all of the ulceration
:13:47. > :13:51.has healed and over the next few months the tumour shrinks so very
:13:51. > :13:55.dramatic results very quickly. hopes that if hereditary cancer
:13:55. > :14:02.deteriorates, she could benefit in the future. Without a doubt, I would
:14:02. > :14:09.take it. Life is so important to me. I have met somebody recently who
:14:09. > :14:12.is on trial who visibly these tumours have almost disappeared.
:14:12. > :14:21.Doctors who want to give patients the new drug have to apply for
:14:21. > :14:28.permission and funding. Good stuff. Also coming up:
:14:28. > :14:31.A home from home, Chester zoo's ambitious plans to bring exotic
:14:31. > :14:38.habitats to Cheshire. Cake to celebrate his courage -- the
:14:38. > :14:48.war veteran given his medals after a 70 year wait. Now I've got them and
:14:48. > :14:50.
:14:50. > :14:55.I am very grateful. I think I've liked to hang onto them for a while.
:14:55. > :14:59.You can already get wristwatches would slink into the Internet,
:14:59. > :15:06.monitor your heart rate and tell the time but there is no one which tell
:15:06. > :15:10.you how healthy you are and, perhaps, how long you'll live for.
:15:10. > :15:13.Scientists at Lancaster University are working on a prototype device
:15:13. > :15:16.that fires a laser pulse through your skin to analyse blood cells and
:15:16. > :15:20.give an early indication if you are heading towards heart disease or
:15:20. > :15:23.stroke. Peter Marshall explains. The device being fitted here is a
:15:23. > :15:27.prototype of a prototype. The hope is, with funding, the final version
:15:27. > :15:30.will be wireless, the size of a wrist watch. Using a laser pulse, it
:15:30. > :15:40.measures how a person's body will decline with age by analysing
:15:40. > :15:41.
:15:41. > :15:45.endothelial cells which line all our blood vessels. It is fantastically
:15:45. > :15:50.important because everything that goes wrong with the cardiovascular
:15:50. > :15:53.system, stroke, heart attack and so on, starts off as a problem there.
:15:53. > :16:00.The aim is not to create a watch that counts down your remaining days
:16:00. > :16:05.on earth but to have a device that can give early warning of problems.
:16:05. > :16:10.If you're into steel ages looking at it larger than your real age then
:16:10. > :16:15.you need to get worried. -- if your age on the watch is looking larger.
:16:15. > :16:17.For example, you might stop smoking, drink a bit less or stop eating
:16:17. > :16:20.deep-fried Mars bars or whatever you do that is undesirable.
:16:20. > :16:23.Such a device, it seems, can't be introduced soon enough with new
:16:23. > :16:26.research today showing that couch potato culture is in danger of
:16:26. > :16:27.raising a generation of children who'll die younger than their
:16:27. > :16:30.parents. The British Heart Foundation report
:16:30. > :16:35.reveals that in England, 80% of children don't eat the recommended
:16:35. > :16:39.five a day portions of fruit and veg. Two in five 13-year-olds have a
:16:39. > :16:49.can of fizzy soft drink each day. And around a quarter of children
:16:49. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:55.spend at least six hours sedentary on a weekend day. A class of 40, ten
:16:55. > :16:58.would be overweight or obese and by year six, all for one third could be
:16:58. > :17:01.overweight or obese. If you actually think of the numbers and the classes
:17:02. > :17:04.and the children at school, you can see it's so common.
:17:04. > :17:14.Scientists at Lancaster University hope their device will be available
:17:14. > :17:15.
:17:15. > :17:18.to all GPs in three years. Genius!
:17:18. > :17:22.It is, isn't it. Do you want to know how long you've got left?
:17:22. > :17:25.Chester Zoo has announced a �30 million plan to make it one of the
:17:25. > :17:29.biggest, and the best zoos, in Europe.
:17:29. > :17:35.We always get artist impressions but never quite as good as these. With
:17:35. > :17:38.the like, wonderful. They are putting together a series of islands
:17:38. > :17:41.connected by waterways are to be built. Each one will replicate the
:17:41. > :17:51.environment and feature wildlife from islands such as Sumatra, Java
:17:51. > :17:56.
:17:56. > :18:01.and Papua New Guinea. Elaine Chester zoo is home to thousands of
:18:01. > :18:04.animals from exotic locations all over the world. Some of those
:18:04. > :18:12.locations will soon feel a little closer to home. How exciting is
:18:12. > :18:16.this? Really exciting. It's not easy to create Southeast Asia in
:18:16. > :18:22.Cheshire... From the Philippines to Papua New Guinea, this area is been
:18:22. > :18:26.transported. This has been here for 80 years and is already world-class
:18:26. > :18:29.zoo. This takes us to the next step. You can see it happening over here,
:18:29. > :18:38.off the current side, and it will take Chester into the future. Hugely
:18:38. > :18:43.exciting. Chester is already home to various exotic animals. This is what
:18:43. > :18:48.it will look like. There will be an Indonesian jungle house and visitors
:18:48. > :18:52.will be able to take a boat trip around the islands. Extremely
:18:52. > :18:58.unique. It's obviously the biggest kind of zoo development in the UK
:18:58. > :19:02.for a long time. From an engineering point of view, we've got to go in
:19:02. > :19:07.there, create this very natural looking watercourse through the site
:19:07. > :19:11.with this varying bridge structure and make it look as authentic as we
:19:11. > :19:14.can. Many of the species that will be on the island are endangered.
:19:14. > :19:21.This project is the result of major conservation work in Chester and
:19:21. > :19:24.overseas. We are particularly interested in things like I species.
:19:24. > :19:28.They are from small areas and so are more threatened than others. This
:19:28. > :19:33.enables the Jews to come down and CDs animals, learned a lot about
:19:33. > :19:43.more about them, and do some into putting them. -- this enables
:19:43. > :19:43.
:19:43. > :19:46.visitors. It will be open to the public in 2015.
:19:46. > :19:51.Richard's here with the sport and somebody's being tipped for the very
:19:51. > :19:52.top. Absolutely. It's Liverpool
:19:52. > :19:55.heptathlete Katerina Johnson-Thompson who's competing at
:19:55. > :19:59.the World Athletic Championships in Moscow. The 20-year-old, who is
:19:59. > :20:07.seventh after two events, has what it takes to be an Olympic champion
:20:07. > :20:12.like Jessica Ennis. That's not my opinion but that of Toni Minichello,
:20:12. > :20:19.the man who guided Jess to gold in London last year. She is better than
:20:19. > :20:22.jess, pound for pound. If you look at what jested as a junior, Katarina
:20:23. > :20:25.has performed better than that every time. If she keeps going, then she
:20:25. > :20:35.will probably be a better heptathlete Jessica Ennis.
:20:35. > :20:36.
:20:36. > :20:40.Well, one man who maybe hasn't lived their first silverware under David
:20:40. > :20:43.Moyes. Robin Van Persie was the difference once again as United won
:20:43. > :20:46.the Community Shield at the expense of FA Cup holders Wigan. The
:20:46. > :20:48.Dutchman scored both goals in his side's 2-0 win. United start their
:20:48. > :20:50.season proper at Swansea next Saturday.
:20:50. > :20:55.The football league is into its second league and a couple of
:20:55. > :21:01.championship clubs are among the pacesetters. The first-half headers
:21:01. > :21:10.from Danny ends against Sheffield Wednesday proved decisive. Blackpool
:21:10. > :21:13.beat Barnsley thanks to this injury time goal. Very timely.
:21:13. > :21:16.Cricket now. Lancashire are flying high at the top of County
:21:16. > :21:20.Championship Division Two, but many of their key names are flying under
:21:20. > :21:24.the radar. Lancashire have had some of the biggest names in the history
:21:24. > :21:27.of the sport playing for them over the years. The likes of Clive Llloyd
:21:27. > :21:30.and Wasim Akram. But this team of largely young Lancastrians doesn't
:21:30. > :21:34.have many household names. I went along to training today to find out
:21:34. > :21:37.more about what makes them tick. I am the Lancashire bowler and water
:21:37. > :21:43.boy and we will meet some of the team. Don't be alarmed by the size
:21:43. > :21:49.of his forehead, it's usually puts people off but he is very talented.
:21:49. > :21:58.This is Steven Croft, he was a captain last year. Very good bowler.
:21:58. > :22:03.Very complimentary. He's usually taking as a pop bit more but these
:22:03. > :22:07.are nice words. What about him? Apart from being the worst dressed
:22:08. > :22:13.man in England he was quite funny, like a practical joke and keeps is
:22:13. > :22:19.now everybody's fees. How well does Stephen Jones team-mates? We decided
:22:19. > :22:27.to give him the ultimate test. First contestant. Name? Stephen Croft.
:22:27. > :22:35.Specialist? By team-mates.You will have to minister and questions. Who
:22:36. > :22:43.has the worst fashion sense? Oliver. If the team needed runs quickly who
:22:43. > :22:48.would you need? All. LAUGHTER
:22:48. > :22:57.Incorrect. When Lancashire are returning from a long-awaited trip
:22:57. > :23:05.and stop of a refreshment, who would be last to pay? Chapel.Incorrect,
:23:05. > :23:13.Aaron. Which player thinks he should be playing for England? Quite a few.
:23:13. > :23:17.Simon. Correct. What do you put on a toaster? Bread.Correct. At the end
:23:17. > :23:24.of that loan, you have no passes and you have a total of three points. --
:23:24. > :23:28.that ground. With impressive stats on the pitch, this Lancashire team
:23:29. > :23:35.certainly seems to have all the answers this season.
:23:35. > :23:41.Does he think he is John Humphrys? He was not to be full. It was a
:23:41. > :23:43.television that made me look small. If you want to watch the lads they
:23:43. > :23:50.are playing tomorrow against Derbyshire, starting at 340. Thank
:23:50. > :23:53.you very much. A veteran of World War Two has
:23:53. > :23:55.finally been presented with four prestigious medals recognising his
:23:56. > :23:58.bravery and courage, 70 years after he was awarded them.
:23:58. > :24:01.Friends, family and other servicemen joined the celebrations for
:24:01. > :24:09.88-year-old Fred Mullis at the care home where he lives in Ellesmere
:24:09. > :24:12.Port. Naomi Cornwell went to watch. I don't suppose you get these
:24:12. > :24:14.everyday, do you? Almost 70 years after he drove an
:24:14. > :24:24.amphibious truck in the D-day landings, Fred Mullis today finally
:24:24. > :24:26.
:24:26. > :24:30.received his medals. My father's never really spoken about the war
:24:30. > :24:34.into about five years ago. And then a few little things came out and he
:24:34. > :24:38.showed does this photo of himself with three of his former colleagues,
:24:38. > :24:43.all sat on a bench, and they all had their medals except for him. He
:24:43. > :24:47.never picked it up at the time. It's a played on his mind a little bit of
:24:47. > :24:49.late and we thought it would be a great idea if we could get hold of
:24:49. > :24:52.them for him. Fred volunteered for duty two weeks
:24:52. > :24:55.before his 18th birthday and served throughout Europe and North Africa
:24:55. > :25:01.as a driver, delivering much needed ammunition and food to the front
:25:01. > :25:11.line. Now I've got them and I am very grateful. They look lovely
:25:11. > :25:12.
:25:12. > :25:17.medals. I should think I would like to hang onto them for a while.
:25:17. > :25:19.in 1945, the landings, the weather was atrocious so we mustn't
:25:19. > :25:26.underestimate the level of bravery that was achieved in bringing those
:25:26. > :25:32.supplies ashore. It was too much needed soldiers. I don't think I
:25:32. > :25:40.have really earned them but medals are medals. I suppose I've done my
:25:40. > :25:44.service and so has anybody else. Fantastic. Very well done to frayed
:25:44. > :25:49.in my hometown. Congratulations. Let's have a look
:25:49. > :25:54.at the weather. It is all about at the weather. It is all about
:25:54. > :25:58.showers? Yes, major showers. Let's talk about
:25:58. > :26:03.the weather first. I have got a bit of good news. We saw temperatures to
:26:03. > :26:08.about 18 Celsius today and they will improved towards the end of their
:26:08. > :26:11.week but to not be expecting 30. We will be very lucky to see
:26:11. > :26:14.temperatures in excess of 20 by the end of this week. Those meteor
:26:14. > :26:18.shower 's Roger was just talking about, Edwards is that there is a
:26:18. > :26:24.very good chance you will be able to see them tonight. We're expecting
:26:24. > :26:27.lots of clear skies. However, if you do have plans to go outside, you
:26:27. > :26:33.will need to wrap up warm because underneath clearings skies it will
:26:33. > :26:37.be a chilly night. Both are starting to melt away so some late evening
:26:37. > :26:45.sunshine. We hang onto the clear skies initially so you can see those
:26:45. > :26:50.showers hopefully between 11 11pm and to earn. However, towards John
:26:50. > :26:53.the clouds will come back. I think temperatures will drop into single
:26:53. > :26:58.figures in many rural areas. For tomorrow, the afternoon looks to be
:26:58. > :27:02.the better part of the day. We do start off, as you can see, rather
:27:02. > :27:05.cloudy tomorrow morning and again the clouds will continue to second
:27:05. > :27:08.to bring you lighter, patchy rain throughout the morning and
:27:09. > :27:15.afternoon. Then, the showers fade away. Some good spell. Shame
:27:15. > :27:18.expected through the afternoon. A disappointing 18 Celsius, this time
:27:18. > :27:22.in August. And plenty more clouds coming your way for the rest of the
:27:22. > :27:26.week. So did you just, I was hanging on
:27:26. > :27:30.your river word, but did you just see if anyone gets pictures?
