Tonight's top stories: Friends describe their shock and horror | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
over the death of a woman killed by her own daughter in a tragic | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
driving accident. We're reporting live from the Medway towns, where | :00:16. | :00:20. | |

honorary music degree from the Good evening. Friends of a Kent | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
woman who died after being knocked down by her own daughter in a | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
tragic driving accident, have been describing their shock at her death. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Sue Duke died in hospital from head injuries. She was hit by a car | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
driven by her teenage daughter Lauren, a learner driver who was | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
practising reversing. Police are appealing for witnesses to the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
accident outside Cuxton Social Club, near Rochester, as Simon Jones | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
reports. Flowers outside the social club, to mark a family tragedy. It | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
is believed that Suju close behind the car, seen it back into a space | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
when she was crushed, with her daughter, Lauren, behind the wheel, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
to the shock of the community where the family is well known. A very | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
nice lady. She was a barmaid at the club. She was always cheerful, | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
always pleasant and a very nice person. Shock and horror, and I | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
feel so sorry for the young girl. She has got that for the rest of | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
her life. It is tragic. How do you think the family will be coping? | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
The they want. They and a very close-knit family. Not for a long, | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:39. | ||
long time, I think. It is such a terrible, terrible tragedy. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
task, now, for the police, is to piece together what happened. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
is a tragic incident at the Pincher they are busy time of day, so there | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
should have been a lot of people around. We would appeal for | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
witnesses to come forward, who witnessed what to place and contact | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
us. What sort of support can you offer the family? At Kent Police, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
we have a good network of family liaison officers. They work closely | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
with the investigation team, and the family. Sue Duke died yesterday | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
in hospital from serious head injuries. She was 41. Her family | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
had been keeping a vigil by her bedside. Simon Jones with that | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
report, and he's live at Medway police station. Simon, how is the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
investigation progressing tonight? Police want to talk at length, to | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Lauren, but what happened. This has not happened yet because they and | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
allowing the family some time to grieve. But they are investigating | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
whether she just pushed down on the wrong pedal, and hit that | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
accelerator instead of the break. Police say that this happened at | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Monday around 11 o'clock in the morning, on a busy road outside the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
social club, so they are sure that other people, too, will have seen | :04:00. | :04:10. | |
what happened. The leader of Kent County Council has written to | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
headteachers to warn them against converting their schools to | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
academies because funds are "drying up", creating a two-tier funding | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
system. It's set Paul Carter at loggerheads with the Education | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
Secretary Michael Gove, over his drive to create the new schools. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Although they're both Conservatives, Councillor Carter and Mr Gove have | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
clashed before - most recently over the Government's decision to scrap | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
the Building Schools for the Future programme. Our Political Editor | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Louise Stewart has the details. In the blue corner, Kent County | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Council leader Paul Carter, and then the other blue corner, | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Education Secretary, Michael Gove, both are Conservatives but have | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
different views on education policy the stock Paul Carter suggested it | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
could be in the interests of all schools to become academies, but he | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
says that now, we're looking at a radically different position. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
different types of schools should be funded fairly and equitably, and | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
that is when I got into a spot of bother in the last general election | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
campaign that that is their beginning to materialise. In a | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
letter to head teachers he has asked them to think long and hard | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
about what impact a future change of government might have on their | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
status. The idea is that academies enjoy greater freedom, to set | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
things like staff pay and conditions. As a head teacher | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
moving to and the Academy, I believe in academies. One teacher | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
wondering whether to proceed with the application is David day. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Governing bodies will look at the balance sheets on the funding | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
agreements and make their decisions at the time. School governors are | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
going to exactly do that and make their decision based upon the | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
funding agreement at the final moment. As the door closes at the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
end of term and the start of the summer break, this school fees is a | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
big decision. It has been given approval for academy status but if | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
the figures do not add up, it may not convert. The difference between | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
now and when we had this system introduced Mme 2010, is that | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
schools that went early effectively got more funding and the funding is | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
drying up. Local authorities recognise this. I don't know that | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
schools recognise this delay, or not, and I hope they do. He says | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
that that schools will your independence over increased funding, | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
they might still opt for academy status, but there is no doubt that | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
a difficult decision has just been made even harder. How has Michael | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Gove responded to this? We asked Michael Gove for an interview but | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
he gave us a statement instead. He said that nobody is putting a gun | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
to the head of any school to convert to an academy. 800 have | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
converted and many more will, in the coming months. He said he does | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
not recognise the two-tier funding system that Paul Carter speaks | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
about. These two have got some previous. They clashed over the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
decision to scrap the Building Schools for the Future programme. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Paul Carter was very outspoken about that. He took Michael Gove to | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
court over it. They one that case, but Michael Gove said they will not | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
be reinstating the Building Schools for the Future programme. It is | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
very interesting. Paul Carter is the head of Kent County Council, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
the largest education authority in the country and by clashing with | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
Michael Gove, it puts him at that rate loggerheads with the Education | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
Secretary. You can read more about what Paul Carter has said on Mike | :07:43. | :07:53. | |

thanks to the National Fruit Collection in Kent. A psychiatrist | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
who examined a mother - accused of murdering her two young children - | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
has told a jury the woman was suffering from depression. 45-year- | :08:12. | :08:15. | |

Donnison's state of mind at the time she is alleged to have killed | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
at Jordan. A consultant prison psychiatrist said he struggled to | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
build a rapport with her. He said that during his examination, Fiona | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Donnison appear to be blunted and distracted. She said that she was | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
having difficulty sleeping, was losing weight and was generally | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
very own. The doctor told the court that these were symptoms of | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
depression and he wondered that, given that she was having | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
difficulty concentrating and answering questions, whether she | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
might be going through a psychotic process. The prosecuting QC asked | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
the doctor what Fiona Donnison had to say about the death of a child | :09:21. | :09:24. | |

Kent are holding a public meeting tonight amid safety concerns about | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
a nearby Liquid Natural Gas terminal. They fear that they could | :10:25. | :10:29. | |

Council's emergency plan does not contain enough information about | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:44. | ||
potential risks. The impact of the high speed rail service in East | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Kent is under investigation, following concerns from passengers | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
that some mainline services now take up to 20 minutes longer to | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
reach their destinations. Canterbury City Council will carry | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
out a review, more than 18 months after the fast trains were | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
introduced, looking at the effect High Speed One has had on ordinary | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
commuter services. Charlie Morettes was just eight years old when he | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
collapsed and died during a game of rounders at his school in Medway. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
He was a victim of sudden death syndrome, a cardiac arrest that | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
happens without warning. Last year, 270 children suffered a sudden | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
heart attack at school. Not all died as a result. A defibrillator, | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
which resets the heart's natural rhythm, might have saved Charlie | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Morette's life. Today, his mother joined forces with a national | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
charity to campaign for the equipment to be installed in every | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
school in the country. Chrissie Reidy has more. Charlie Morettes | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Was just eight years old when he suffered a cardiac arrest at school. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
As they insist -- insist that if there had been at the February to | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
run the school premises, then those extra minutes with a prolonged | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Charlie's life and made all the difference. Whilst waiting for the | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
ambulance crew, that can be administered. Once the heart has | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
stopped it is harder to restart, so in some cases the laws that will | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
can be 10 minutes away, and that could be too much time. This school | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
in Claxton, one of the few with this potentially life-saving | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
equipment, show youngsters how easy it is to use. As soon as you get | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
that if the bloody Tower on, it will start at the heart, and a | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
:12:22. | :12:29. | ||
natural pacemaker of the heart -- - -- defibrillator. It is easy to use. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
And it is good to have it in every school, because if somebody has a | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
heart attack, it will be useful. Unlike airports and shopping | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
centres, there is no legislation to have defibrillators in schools. | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
Something that campaigners hope to change. For the cost of a computer, | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
�1,500, we believe that they should be on site. It is hoped that this | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
life-saving equipment will become more commonplace in schools across | :13:00. | :13:08. | |
the country, which could save more lives. Stand clear, everybody. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
Charlie has lost his life, and every day, we have to live without | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
him, in our family, and if we can prevent another family from going | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
through that, just one family not having to go through that, that | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
:13:30. | :13:31. | ||
would mean the world to us. refuge that provides care for | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
victims of domestic abuse has been shortlisted for the finals of the | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
National Lottery Awards - the annual search to find the UK's | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
favourite Lottery-funded project. As Juliette Parkin reports, the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Oasis Domestic Abuse Service in Thanet offers a safe haven to women | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
who have suffered violence and emotional trauma at home. I walk up | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
on the floor. He was hitting me with his fists, and kicking me with | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
his industrial boots. I was screaming and shouting, stop it, | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
you are killing me, you are killing me, and the next thing, I was out | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
again, and he must have thought that he had killed me, because it | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
went on for hours. He just kicked and punched. I cannot tell you. It | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
was like being a football, having someone kicking you, not been able | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
to do anything about it. There was so much violence and anger. That | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
was just after Cathy decided to end the relationship two years ago. She | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
was followed home, beaten up, and left for dead. But thanks to these | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
people, I found Trust, and I found my life again. I am so lucky to be | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
allied. It was Kathy who nominated the outbreak each send us a for the | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
lottery award. Thanet has a high incidence of domestic abuse. And I | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
think that the people that we work with, really value having someone | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
they can rely on in a time of crisis bus-stop people such as FE, | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
who was eight years old when she was brought to the refuge with her | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
mother and brother, to escape a violent father. You talk about the | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
places that you love before, homes that you have had grown up and this | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
would be one of my homes. Somewhere that you felt safe, it is | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
definitely what I felt here, and it taught me that it is not OK, for | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
anybody to hit anybody, for anybody to shout at anybody, especially not | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
your dad or mum. And that feeling of being scared of someone you love, | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
when you go to bed every night, that is not a very nice feeling. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Now a mother herself, FE says that she would not have gone on to have | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
a happy, normal relationship without this place. She said - and | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:02. | ||
she would know - that it changes lies. Our top story tonight: | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
Friends of a Kent woman who's died after being knocked down by her own | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
daughter in a tragic driving accident, have been describing | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
their shock at her death. Sue Duke died from head injuries following | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
the accident at Cuxton Social Club, near Rochester. Also tonight: | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Folkestone fixation. The family who have been holidaying in the seaside | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
town for 60 years. And I'll bring you a full weather forecast at the | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
end of the programme. Some wet weather and a round, but also a | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:44. | ||
It's been overlooked for 150 years, but now a traditional old english | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
cooking ingredient - called Verjus - is being revived in the Garden of | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
England. Back in the Middle Ages, it was very popular, deliberately | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
using the juice of under-ripe apples to produce a flavour that's | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
a softer alternative to vinegar or lemon juice. Verjus is now being | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
used by some of our top chefs, using apples from the National | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Fruit Collection in Faversham that would otherwise never have made it | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
onto the supermarket shelf. Our environment correspondent Yvette | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
Austin has more. It is July, and in the orchards of the National fruit | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
Collection, apples are being picked already. It is not a miracle of the | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
unusually warm spring, but a desire for unripe fruit, to turn it into | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
an unusual juice. We are making an Verjus, not a gorgeous, we're | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
looking for strong acidity to using cocaine. The R5 varieties here, and | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
there will be six or seven bins full of it. 27 varieties are going | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
:17:49. | :17:54. | ||
That is the juice we have just made. I have divided the apples into | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
sweet, sour, savoury and aromatic. The juice begins with 50% Bramley | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
apples, then the blend other varieties in equal quantities, to | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
find out whether we're going to get something similar to the crop from | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
last year, which is what shareds are going to expect. Some of the | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
best culinary hotspots are using it in a variety of ways. It helps | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
liver scallops, it finishes them off. -- flavour. We have made it is | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
that different ways, we have made a syrup, then we have married needed | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
the Apple in Verjus, and we have made a jelly from it, which brings | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
out the sweetness of the scallops. What do people in Whitstable think? | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
Very nice. Absolutely delicious. I would not have thought of putting | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
Apple with scallops, very unusual, but lovely. It is nice but it | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
detracts from the scallops. It is a mixture of apple and fish? It is | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
strange, very strange! But good! And they are making twice as much | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
this year, compared to last. There is nothing going to waste. These | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
apples would not have looked as eating apples, they are not | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
commercial cooking apples so would have ended up on the floor. Plum | :19:16. | :19:26. | |

the same holiday destination? Twice maybe? Three times if you really | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
liked it? Then you've got some way to go to rival John and Sonia | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Hopkins, who have fallen in love with Folkestone. The couple | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
travelled down to the Kent resort from their home in Luton for the | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
first time in 1949. And they've been back, with their children, and | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
then their grandchildren, and now their great-grandchildren - every | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
:20:04. | :20:09. | ||
It will not be hard for this family to remember where they're so | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
holiday snaps were taking. Old stone may have changed over the | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
years, but their choice of holiday to bolster and has not. We know | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
where to go, we know what to expect. The air, standing on a golf course | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
overlooking the Channel, and the town, is absolutely unique. And | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
everybody now calls it God's country - because that particular | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
spot, as far as I am concerned, you cannot beat it. There was an awful | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
lot to do on the front with grades and swimming and we look forward to | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
it every year, because it was always the same but different. It | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
was our home from home. Every Whitsun week we'll come down and | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
over the years, girlfriends, boyfriends, have all come down. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Great grandchildren now coming down. 24 or was this year. Some people | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
might think that it is mad or sad, but we love it, because it is the | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
people that make it. After visiting this town so often during their | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
lives, John Hopkins is even convinced he wants to make this his | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
final resting place, asking that, one day, his ashes will be | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
scattered at the golf course he has played on so many times with his | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
family, overlooking the sea. Although it sounds boring, I can | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
assure you that it is far from boring, and I'm sure that all the | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
children will agree. It is a wonderful holiday. And you will not | :21:54. | :22:02. | |

Folkestone. With a career spanning almost 50 years, and collaborations | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
with the likes of Mick Jagger, Kate Bush and Stevie Wonder, Jeff beck's | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
career reads like a Who's Who of music superstardom. In fact, | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Rolling Stone magazine describe him as one of the most influential lead | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
guitarists of all time. He's been inducted into the Rock and Roll | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
Hall of Fame twice, both as part of the Yardbirds and as a solo artist. | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
And he's received six Grammy Awards for Best Rock Instrumental | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
Performance. Today, as Claudia Sermbezis reports, he can add to | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
that list of honours an honorary doctorate in music from the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
University of Sussex. He has been described as one of the greatest | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
guitarists of all time. Jeff Beck does not use a plectrum, but his | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
fingers, to create debt and sold. used to keep dropping the plectrum | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
for one reason or another in the 70s, and they got so embarrassed | :23:09. | :23:19. | |

awards, including one for this version of the Beatles'' at being | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
alive. Today he was made an honorary doctor of music by the | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
University of Sussex. I am totally blown away. You get all that | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
recognition in Los Angeles and all over the world, but not in my home, | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
it is just so nice to have that, especially Sussex, where I live, it | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
is extra-special. Jeff Beck was nominated by Bruce Dickinson from | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
the Brighton Institute of modern music. He described them as a hero | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
for every guitar player, and approached him when he was playing | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
at the dorm. It was an amazing opportunity to get them into the | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
college to do a master class. The magic thing about it was that he | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
picked the guitar up and played, and some of the students in the | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
class caught up and everyone had a jam, and it worked amazingly. It | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
was an incredible experience or all of us. The students described it as | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
being like having God in the rooms. For the students it was a once-in- | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
a-lifetime opportunity to jam with the man who is the guitarist's | :24:47. | :24:57. | |

He was very on to end in that bright yellow rope! Bright colours | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
are the in thing this season. a shame that there is no sunshine | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
to go with them. Yes, but I did wear a bright colour - I will go | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
with Tianjin! The weather is very mixed this evening. For some of us | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
it will be dry but there is an advisory and place, because there | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
could be some heavy showers, and it could be thundery, with 20-and 30 | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
Were you see some wet weather it is likely to be very wet indeed. We | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
have a lot of cloud cover. Gradually, we will start to see | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
some breaks in the cloud by tomorrow morning. Before that, some | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
of that cloud, with Terry showers, and overnight temperatures dropping | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
to a London Celsius. By about 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, most of | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
that wet weather will have crept away. -- 11 Celsius. Throughout the | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
morning tomorrow, plenty of sunshine, sunny spells throughout | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
the day. By the evening goes showers will be making a comeback. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Not as heavy as today, but still some showers for many of us. | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
Temperatures, getting up to 20 Celsius, and tomorrow night, a few | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
showers around, but not too many. Come Saturday, we should be seeing | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
a dry, bright start, but later on, a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
Temperatures down to ten Celsius. Low-pressure is not going to be far | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
away. On Saturday, that makes it hard to predict where the showers | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
are going to be, but there are likely to be some mixed in that any | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
sunshine. On Sunday, a drier picture with temperatures | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
increasing, feeling a little bit warmer, certainly less in the way | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
of showers, at the beginning of next week, not getting off to a bad | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
start. Tomorrow, bringing as a mixture of sunshine and showers. A | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
lot of cloud around, and bits and pieces of showers mixed in with the | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
weather. Sunday definitely seen the best of the weekend's weather. And | :27:22. | :27:29. |
