:00:14. > :00:16.Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin.

:00:17. > :00:21.A judge rules PC Paul Briggs - who's been in a coma for 17 months

:00:22. > :00:24.after a motorbike accident - can be allowed to die.

:00:25. > :00:27.This court case is the hardest thing we've ever had to do, but we did it

:00:28. > :00:31.for Paul to honour his wishes. His family say it's

:00:32. > :00:33.the right decision. But doctors treating PC Briggs

:00:34. > :00:35.want to appeal the decision. Matthew was killed when a human

:00:36. > :00:39.cannonball stunt went wrong. Today his employer was fined

:00:40. > :00:45.for health and safety failings. The school dinners that really are

:00:46. > :00:47.rubbish, why these students are getting waste food for the Christmas

:00:48. > :00:51.dinner. The students who're bringing

:00:52. > :00:58.Harry Potter's mythical game A judge has agreed that a seriously

:00:59. > :01:08.injured Merseyside Police officer PC Paul Briggs suffered catastrophic

:01:09. > :01:16.brain injuries in a road crash. He can't move or communicate

:01:17. > :01:19.and is being kept alive by food His wife argued that -

:01:20. > :01:25.with no hope of recovery - her husband would not wish to live

:01:26. > :01:27.in this way. This afternoon a judge

:01:28. > :01:30.in London agreed with her. Our Chief Reporter,

:01:31. > :01:32.Dave Guest, was in court - and earlier I asked him for more

:01:33. > :01:37.details on the case. Paul Briggs was a former soldier

:01:38. > :01:43.turned police officer. He was on his way to a shift one

:01:44. > :01:46.July morning last year, when he was involved in a road

:01:47. > :01:48.accident on his motorcycle. He suffered very severe brain

:01:49. > :01:50.injuries, and is currently in the Walton Centre in Liverpool,

:01:51. > :01:53.in what is known as a minimally conscious state, which means

:01:54. > :01:57.he cannot move or communicate. He's only being kept alive

:01:58. > :01:59.because nutrition and hydration are being clinically administered

:02:00. > :02:13.to him by medics. Last month his wife Lindsay went

:02:14. > :02:15.to the Court of Protection in Manchester to urge a judge

:02:16. > :02:18.to order those doctors to stop She said her husband had

:02:19. > :02:22.always made it plain that if he was ever severely disabled,

:02:23. > :02:25.he wouldn't want to continue living. Well, representatives

:02:26. > :02:26.from the health trust and the Official Solicitor,

:02:27. > :02:28.a person appointed by the government to speak on behalf of people

:02:29. > :02:36.who cannot speak for themselves, opposed her application,

:02:37. > :02:39.arguing that there was a chance that at some point in the future,

:02:40. > :02:41.Paul's position might improve slightly, but they accepted he would

:02:42. > :02:45.always be severely disabled. What did the judge said

:02:46. > :02:48.in handing out his decision? Essentially he came down in favour

:02:49. > :02:51.of what Paul Briggs's wife had been saying all along,

:02:52. > :02:53.he said that if Mr Briggs was sitting in my chair,

:02:54. > :02:56.he would not want to continue having the clinically administered

:02:57. > :02:58.nutrition and hydration, so he ordered that the doctors

:02:59. > :03:00.should stop administering it and arrange for him

:03:01. > :03:02.to be transferred to Mrs Briggs was not in court

:03:03. > :03:14.in London today to hear this, This court case is the hardest thing

:03:15. > :03:20.we have ever had to do, but we did it for Paul,

:03:21. > :03:23.to honour his wishes. We are grateful that

:03:24. > :03:26.Mr Justice Charles has shown compassion towards Paul,

:03:27. > :03:27.has respected his wishes and values and has understood

:03:28. > :03:30.what Paul would have wanted. But that might not be

:03:31. > :03:34.the end of the matter? No, that's right, it's possible

:03:35. > :03:38.that the Official Solicitor may well seek leave to appeal,

:03:39. > :03:40.and that news has certainly caused some concern

:03:41. > :03:42.for Paul Briggs's family. We feel overwhelming despair

:03:43. > :03:45.and sorrow, but we know that we have to try to somehow cope

:03:46. > :03:52.and to continue for Paul. Given this continued uncertainty,

:03:53. > :03:54.Christmas will now not to be If leave to appeal is granted,

:03:55. > :04:02.all parties agree it must happen as quickly as possible

:04:03. > :04:04.because currently the decision made by the judge today remains on hold

:04:05. > :04:07.until the outcome of any appeal Sir Mark Hedley was a judge

:04:08. > :04:18.at the Court of Protection before He ruled over many

:04:19. > :04:20.life-and-death cases. Earlier I asked him how judges make

:04:21. > :04:25.such difficult decisions. The law is quite simple because it

:04:26. > :04:31.requires you to make decision on the person's best interest,

:04:32. > :04:36.and then what amounts to someone's best interest

:04:37. > :04:38.is a hugely wide subject, which varies dramatically

:04:39. > :04:41.from case to case. The idea really is that

:04:42. > :04:45.you try to get to know the person about whom you're making

:04:46. > :04:49.the decision, you try to understand the decision that they would have

:04:50. > :04:54.made, had they been able to do so, and provided you think that's

:04:55. > :04:56.in their best interest, One would imagine that when you're

:04:57. > :05:03.making a decision like this, that is the hardest job that

:05:04. > :05:08.you can ever do. Yes, intellectually, of course,

:05:09. > :05:12.it's not all that difficult because the law is not all that

:05:13. > :05:16.difficult but there is such a huge amount at stake and people have vast

:05:17. > :05:18.emotional investment in these cases, for entirely good reason,

:05:19. > :05:20.they are very pressurised It is probably a horrible,

:05:21. > :05:30.unkind thing to ask you, really, but have there ever been occasions

:05:31. > :05:33.where you have lay in bed and thought, have I made

:05:34. > :05:35.the right decision, how do I agonise about these cases

:05:36. > :05:41.until I have made the decision. I have then rather learned

:05:42. > :05:45.to switch off after that. I can still think about the case,

:05:46. > :05:48.but it won't trouble me, provided I feel I have given my best

:05:49. > :05:51.shot to it. The decisions you have had to make,

:05:52. > :05:54.they are not always You're sometimes looking

:05:55. > :05:57.at the welfare of someone which might be different

:05:58. > :05:59.from perhaps what Is that trickier, when you're

:06:00. > :06:08.deciding on the future welfare? In these cases, what families think

:06:09. > :06:21.matters, but family do not have a final say in the matter,

:06:22. > :06:24.just as they don't in welfare cases. At the end of the day,

:06:25. > :06:26.the decision maker, in this case the judge,

:06:27. > :06:29.has to decide what that person When the public look at this,

:06:30. > :06:43.when the press report on this, it can look very stark that perhaps

:06:44. > :06:52.a family member is saying, we want our loved one's life

:06:53. > :06:54.support to be switched off, but that is not an easy decision

:06:55. > :06:58.for any family member to come to. And if people make lasting powers

:06:59. > :07:02.of attorney, then they can get these decision-making powers

:07:03. > :07:03.to their families, And at the end of the day,

:07:04. > :07:07.the views of the family and the carers are one of the things

:07:08. > :07:11.the judge has to take into account, Thank you very much

:07:12. > :07:14.indeed for your time. Police patrols at

:07:15. > :07:19.Manchester's Christmas Markets are being increased -

:07:20. > :07:21.in response to last night's The Greater Manchester force say

:07:22. > :07:24.there's no intelligence about a threat here -

:07:25. > :07:27.but are mounting a bigger Merseyside Police has announced

:07:28. > :07:30.plans to recruit 140 new constables. The campaign will focus

:07:31. > :07:32.on finding officers from under-represented communities -

:07:33. > :07:34.such as black, ethnic minority, The force says it's important

:07:35. > :07:41.staff should reflect A planned strike by airport baggage

:07:42. > :07:49.handlers later this week More than 300 members

:07:50. > :07:56.of the Unite union - working for Swissport

:07:57. > :07:58.at Manchester Airport - were due to walk out

:07:59. > :08:00.on Friday and Christmas Eve, in a dispute over

:08:01. > :08:02.pay and conditions. A Merseyside Hospital Radio DJ

:08:03. > :08:07.says he's been sacked - after presenting his show topless,

:08:08. > :08:09.as a joke with listeners Nigel Bateman, who worked

:08:10. > :08:16.on the volunteer-run Radio Broadgreen,

:08:17. > :08:18.was told his behaviour was inappropriate and would damage

:08:19. > :08:20.the station's reputation A company which employed stuntmen

:08:21. > :08:38.for public displays has been fined ?100,000,

:08:39. > :08:41.after a man died performing Matthew Cranch - originally

:08:42. > :08:44.from the Isle of Man - suffered fatal injuries in front

:08:45. > :08:46.of hundreds of spectators. The boss of Stunts UK -

:08:47. > :08:49.which employed him - has also been sentenced to 100

:08:50. > :08:51.hours of community work These pictures were recorded moments

:08:52. > :08:54.before Matthew Cranch was fired from the mouth of a cannon

:08:55. > :08:57.at the Kent County The safety net that should have

:08:58. > :09:01.broken his fall gave way sending him He died from his

:09:02. > :09:04.injuries in hospital. Today his boss, Scott May of Stunts

:09:05. > :09:09.UK, was sentenced in Maidstone after admitting breaches

:09:10. > :09:11.of health and safety. The court heard that a mechanism

:09:12. > :09:13.that triggered the release of the safety net hadn't

:09:14. > :09:15.been set properly. The company's health

:09:16. > :09:17.and safety was, according Mr Cranch had performed the stunt

:09:18. > :09:25.only five times previously and had joined the team only a month

:09:26. > :09:28.before his death. Matthew's parents were in court

:09:29. > :09:30.as a victim impact statement was read, describing Matthew

:09:31. > :09:48.as an intelligent, happy young man. There are calls to avoid job losses,

:09:49. > :09:55.after one of the region's largest financial services firms was bought

:09:56. > :10:02.for almost ?2 billion 2,000 staff work

:10:03. > :10:05.for the UK's biggest credit card supplier -

:10:06. > :10:07.MBNA - at its headquarters It's one of the firms which has made

:10:08. > :10:11.Chester a centre for the financial Our Cheshire reporter Mark Edwardson

:10:12. > :10:18.is at MBNA's offices in Chester. Lots of people know all about the

:10:19. > :10:24.company, but for those who don't, further afield, tell us more about

:10:25. > :10:30.MBNA. Well, it is a large and very profitable firm. Last year it made

:10:31. > :10:32.more than ?160 million. It is also quite generous, sponsoring things

:10:33. > :10:38.like the local football team and others in and around the city. There

:10:39. > :10:42.are 7 million credit card holders of MBNA across the country, so there is

:10:43. > :10:47.a good chance that if you have got a credit card in your wallet or purse,

:10:48. > :10:53.MBNA may have supplied it. As you mention, there are almost 2000

:10:54. > :10:58.people work here at MBNA's headquarters. Lloyds has agreed a

:10:59. > :11:03.deal to buy MBNA from its parent company, Bank of America, for ?1.9

:11:04. > :11:13.billion. Lloyds are going to look to make some savings, aren't they? Yes,

:11:14. > :11:22.it has been reported that the company... That might have an impact

:11:23. > :11:27.on staff. MBNA is a big fish in what is quite a big local pond for

:11:28. > :11:34.financial services here in Chester. Its neighbours here include virgin

:11:35. > :11:39.money, Bank of America, diners club, and Lloyds. In fact, it is second

:11:40. > :11:45.only to Manchester in the region in terms of the size of its financial

:11:46. > :11:49.injury. Chester's MP has called on MBNA and Lloyds to avoid job losses,

:11:50. > :11:53.but others say if there are already job losses here, which we have no

:11:54. > :11:58.suggestion to say that there are, they could be soaked up in the

:11:59. > :12:04.burgeoning financial services industry. I think business will grow

:12:05. > :12:08.because birds of a feather flock together, and it is really a

:12:09. > :12:13.significant financial cluster here. I am optimistic that is what will

:12:14. > :12:18.happen. We have seen it elsewhere in Chester, in the life sciences

:12:19. > :12:22.sector, and I think we will see it here in the financial sector. Nobody

:12:23. > :12:27.from MBNA has been available for comment, but they have given us a

:12:28. > :12:36.statement, they have an enthusiastic new owner, who sees MBNA is a

:12:37. > :12:40.strategic investment for the future. Accompanied like Lloyds making this

:12:41. > :12:44.decision means a lot. Completion should be sometime in early 17,

:12:45. > :12:47.where we will get a clearer view of what the effect might be on staff.

:12:48. > :12:52.Thank you. Crunch times for Sale

:12:57. > :13:03.of Preston - the students learning School dinners have long been

:13:04. > :13:21.a topic of conversation - Good or bad!

:13:22. > :13:24.My school lunch never looked anything like that!

:13:25. > :13:26.But today's Christmas lunch at a school in Stockport

:13:27. > :13:29.All the ingredients were unsold supermarket food -

:13:30. > :13:33.Instead they were turned into a festive meal for 100 students

:13:34. > :13:46.This is not just any succulent chicken Christmas dinner.

:13:47. > :13:48.Crispy roast potatoes and fine green beans.

:13:49. > :13:51.This is all waste supermarket food from failed deliveries -

:13:52. > :13:53.collected last night and brought here early this morning

:13:54. > :14:03.This food is in date, there is nothing wrong with that, it just

:14:04. > :14:06.missed a delivery. Cate Bauer and Nikki Pope

:14:07. > :14:08.are passionate about reusing food. This was their wedding

:14:09. > :14:11.in Manchester in June - they served waste food up

:14:12. > :14:13.to their guests who loved it. Helped by the Real Junk Food

:14:14. > :14:21.Project, they're now doing the same Why not share this and keep going?

:14:22. > :14:27.We have pledged to keep going. Kids have been involved throughout the

:14:28. > :14:29.day, and also their eyes are being opened to, what is wrong with these

:14:30. > :14:32.vegetables, there is nothing wrong with that.

:14:33. > :14:34.Overseen by a chef, students are cooking today's

:14:35. > :14:44.It is quite sad because there is nothing wrong with the food, it was

:14:45. > :14:49.fine. It looks nice and there are people hungry out there. Are you

:14:50. > :14:54.looking forward to eating it? Yes, definitely. I am always hungry.

:14:55. > :14:57.After hours of preparation it's time to serve the food up

:14:58. > :15:03.It is obviously something very important here, it is the kind of

:15:04. > :15:09.thing we teach our children to care for one another, care for the

:15:10. > :15:10.environment, so taking up this project was an ideal opportunity,

:15:11. > :15:11.one we couldn't miss. The big question -

:15:12. > :15:20.how does it taste? Delicious. It tasted like you would

:15:21. > :15:25.have got it fresh out of the supermarket. This is the first time

:15:26. > :15:29.waste food has been served through this project in a school. The hope

:15:30. > :15:31.is it has been so successful today, but lots of other schools will

:15:32. > :15:34.follow suit. The proof here is in

:15:35. > :15:36.the clean plates. This may be waste food -

:15:37. > :15:47.but the students aren't I think that is a great idea. The

:15:48. > :15:57.only thing is, it is the name, waste food. My fridge at home is full of

:15:58. > :16:00.things past its sell by date, there is nothing wrong with that.

:16:01. > :16:05.Onto sport now and Stuart Pollitt is here.

:16:06. > :16:09.The hard fought Merseyside derby didn't lack drama last night?

:16:10. > :16:16.That's right, flares on the field, fist pumps on the Liverpool bench

:16:17. > :16:19.but plenty of fed-up Everton fans inside Goodison Park last night.

:16:20. > :16:21.Liverpool left it late, very late to clinch victory,

:16:22. > :16:24.the only goal of the game coming in the 94th minute.

:16:25. > :16:26.Daniel Sturridge's shot hit the post and Sadio Mane followed up

:16:27. > :16:32.They move second in the table and Everton's derby misery continues.

:16:33. > :16:37.It's just one win in 20 derbies now for the blues.

:16:38. > :16:42.Let's hear from both managers, starting with Jurgen Klopp.

:16:43. > :16:48.We could have scored earlier, we had a lot of chances, but they did not

:16:49. > :16:54.give one chance away, more importantly. So it was quite

:16:55. > :17:00.difficult against an opponent who only wants to disturb your game. I

:17:01. > :17:05.am really disappointed because we conceded a goal in extra time, that

:17:06. > :17:14.was difficult, difficult to keep one point until 95 minutes was killing

:17:15. > :17:16.for us. Joey Barton is rejoining Burnley

:17:17. > :17:18.on a short term deal The midfielder was Player

:17:19. > :17:23.of the Year as Burnley won promotion but left Turf Moor in the summer

:17:24. > :17:25.to join Rangers. He was released by the

:17:26. > :17:27.Scottish club last month. Barton's already training

:17:28. > :17:29.with the Clarets and will be available subject to international

:17:30. > :17:31.clearance in January. On a poor run of form

:17:32. > :17:34.and embroiled in a legal battle over their latest star signing,

:17:35. > :17:36.these are tough times They're sitting tenth

:17:37. > :17:39.in rugby union's Premiership I've been talking to head

:17:40. > :17:54.coach Steve Diamond. Sale's players are struggling

:17:55. > :17:56.to see the wood for Six defeats on the spin -

:17:57. > :18:00.albeit three of them to champions Saracens -

:18:01. > :18:02.have turned up the temperature on the sharks and their

:18:03. > :18:09.coach Steve Diamond. Are you feeling pressure with the

:18:10. > :18:13.situation? Yes, I do not like losing, I have been here for six

:18:14. > :18:19.years and we have always been a top six site, so this is disappointing.

:18:20. > :18:21.We are one or two macro wins away from being fixed. So we will need to

:18:22. > :18:26.keep faith. They'll need more than

:18:27. > :18:28.faith to resolve a legal His former club Castleford are suing

:18:29. > :18:33.Sale over his transfer. They believe it was a clear

:18:34. > :18:48.breach of contract. Are you confident that your position

:18:49. > :18:52.in court? I am confident we made an offer, and he was fired through

:18:53. > :18:59.Castleford, and then we got in touch and signed a contract.

:19:00. > :19:01.The latest big name to be linked

:19:02. > :19:04.with the club is George Ford, the England fly-half.

:19:05. > :19:10.Would you be interested in him? Yes, we would be interested in him to

:19:11. > :19:14.take the club where we want a ticket to. When January arrives on the

:19:15. > :19:23.transfer window opens, we can start discussions if he fancies a chat.

:19:24. > :19:25.Fetching Oldham-born Ford to the north west would be

:19:26. > :19:29.But for now these players need to stick together and concentrate

:19:30. > :19:31.on securing Sale's place in the top flight.

:19:32. > :19:50.Now you may be wondering why Harry Potter's making an appearance

:19:51. > :19:55.The game born on the pages of JK Rowling's novels

:19:56. > :19:57.has been transformed into a real life version.

:19:58. > :19:59.It's officially recognised as a sport and is being

:20:00. > :20:00.played at universities across the north west.

:20:01. > :20:11.Versus Quidditch, a game where groups and sticks are used. This is

:20:12. > :20:14.it played in real-life. This is plastic and PVC, so that way we do

:20:15. > :20:20.not hurt anyone. It is up full contact sport. Every now and again

:20:21. > :20:23.you will see a silly photograph of someone jumping in the year, with

:20:24. > :20:28.some and jumping between them, so it looks like they are flying, but it

:20:29. > :20:34.is a bit like rugby. Last year Quidditch was acknowledged as a

:20:35. > :20:37.sport in the UK and it is getting its own Premier League. It is

:20:38. > :20:42.already well-established in the USA and seems to pull in the crowds. Not

:20:43. > :20:49.quite the same in Preston, yet. But there are -- they are fiercely

:20:50. > :20:59.competitive, so it is probably best to leave the field if you're not

:21:00. > :21:02.involved in the match. Brims up! Preston's components from the

:21:10. > :21:13.ball through opposition hopes. We were at the northern tournament a

:21:14. > :21:19.couple of weeks back, it was deadly serious, pretty savage times. And he

:21:20. > :21:25.sealed victory by grabbing this man's tail. Game over. It is

:21:26. > :21:29.competitive on the pitch, but as soon as you're off the pitch

:21:30. > :21:35.everyone is friendly. I can imagine you in the role of Harry Potter.

:21:36. > :21:45.Yes, I have always been a fan, and Quidditch is good. A sport many

:21:46. > :21:49.people can relate to. There you go, a new sport to take up in the New

:21:50. > :21:58.Year. Does it count as Quidditch if it is not in the sky? It is

:21:59. > :22:02.officially recognised as a sport. You will need to ask JK Rowling. We

:22:03. > :22:06.were speaking about waste food earlier than we were corrected

:22:07. > :22:13.because we said it was beyond its sell by date, and it isn't, it is

:22:14. > :22:16.just food that has not been sold. Surplus food. There is only one

:22:21. > :22:24.Very true. Will you be doing the cooking for

:22:25. > :22:29.Christmas dinner, maybe you have family and friends coming around,

:22:30. > :22:37.will you cope? I will do my bit to help. It is fictional Lillian Jones

:22:38. > :22:42.has been cooking lunch every week for the least two dozen people. Her

:22:43. > :22:48.great-niece says she is dedicated to the club and has more energy than

:22:49. > :22:58.people half her age. We went to meet the Christmas staff. With Lilian in

:22:59. > :23:05.charge, there is no doubt lunch will be on time. She has been leading a

:23:06. > :23:11.team of volunteers for 25 years. She is dedicated, fantastic. Marvellous.

:23:12. > :23:16.With her boundless energy, 86 she rolled Lilian never tires of cooking

:23:17. > :23:20.for the luncheon club. I love cooking, number one, and when you're

:23:21. > :23:29.cooking for yourself it is not the same. It gives me great pleasure

:23:30. > :23:33.that once a week I cook for about 24, 28 every week. This club is as

:23:34. > :23:38.much about friendship as it is about enjoying good food, and as a widow,

:23:39. > :23:43.Lilian knows what it is like to feel lonely. The rest of the week I

:23:44. > :23:47.hardly see people, but come Tuesday it is a great day. I really look

:23:48. > :23:52.forward to coming here and meeting people. Green it is gathering

:23:53. > :24:02.together for good food and fellowship. I think the kindness and

:24:03. > :24:09.companionship. Lillian was nominated by her great-niece from abroad, and

:24:10. > :24:18.everyone agrees she is a Christmas staff. , thank you! That is lovely!

:24:19. > :24:20.Wonderful. -- Christmas star. I am thrilled. It is a delight because I

:24:21. > :24:37.love coming here. Singing Wonderful. She puts us a shameful

:24:38. > :24:42.stop I am worried about doing it for six people, let alone 28 people!

:24:43. > :24:52.Unfortunately the weather is going to be rotten.

:24:53. > :24:56.Yes, Barbara is on her way, and she may be bringing a friend. This has

:24:57. > :24:59.yet to be determined, but the weather is really going to cause

:25:00. > :25:04.problems as we had through the next couple of days, particularly on the

:25:05. > :25:07.run-up to Christmas and beyond. Today our viewers cot the calm

:25:08. > :25:11.before the storm, but it is really quite chilly out and about today.

:25:12. > :25:16.The breeze has been gusty, and over the next few days very difficult

:25:17. > :25:20.conditions are in the offing, and there could be some disruption

:25:21. > :25:24.possible. The Met office have issued a weather warning -- your weather

:25:25. > :25:29.warning for Friday about the strength of the wind. There could be

:25:34. > :25:38.place to keep your -- get your information. The details will be

:25:39. > :25:41.firmed up. Friday is a very difficult day for people travelling,

:25:42. > :25:47.and that the minute it looks like the worst day around, so you may

:25:48. > :25:51.need to change plans. And the minute it is dry, but over the next couple

:25:52. > :25:55.of hours we have rain coming towards us but it is moving into the Isle of

:25:56. > :25:58.Man, and it should be clipping the coast by nine o'clock, then it will

:25:59. > :26:02.spread everywhere are going through the night. The wind is behind it, so

:26:03. > :26:07.it will move through relatively quickly, so by two AMR PAM, it

:26:08. > :26:12.should be gone. After that the region will clear. Because the sun

:26:13. > :26:19.comes up late in the morning temperatures will start to call back

:26:20. > :26:22.down. -- by 2am or 3am. With the clear whether coming in for quite

:26:23. > :26:28.sometime tomorrow morning, many places will start with temperatures

:26:29. > :26:32.of four or five. In the country said it could be one or two. If you are

:26:33. > :26:37.up very early when the sun comes up, you may see it for awhile, but here

:26:38. > :26:42.is the next line of rain tomorrow morning. It is very short lived

:26:43. > :26:46.again, but it is fairly lively, more showery in nature, with a few lumps

:26:47. > :26:53.of rain from time to time. Once that has gone, by lunchtime for all of

:26:54. > :26:56.us, it a much better picture, but it is very changeable because you will

:26:57. > :27:03.see some showers through the afternoon. The breeze is south to

:27:04. > :27:08.south-west, and after tomorrow Thursday does not look too bad. Here

:27:09. > :27:11.comes the storm. In the middle part of Friday the winds could be 60 or

:27:12. > :27:18.70 miles an hour. There is an amber warning for parts, but it is a

:27:19. > :27:24.yellow warning for us. That could change, but rarely at this time of

:27:25. > :27:27.year does it change for the better. In all seriousness, people with

:27:28. > :27:32.travel plans, you need to be careful.

:27:33. > :27:37.And you have got to keep listening because things do change, but not

:27:38. > :27:41.always for the better. The local radio stations will keep

:27:42. > :27:46.you informed. We will be back later for an update.

:27:47. > :28:02.You only grow old once, so you might as well enjoy it.
