Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines:

:00:03.:00:12.

Tragedy on the way home. A bus driver says he could do

:00:12.:00:17.

nothing to prevent the death of these two teenagers and a pensioner.

:00:17.:00:19.

A Newcastle-based private investigator is accused of trying

:00:19.:00:20.

to access Gordon Brown's personal files.

:00:21.:00:24.

The lengths this devoted mum is prepared to go to give her son a

:00:24.:00:34.
:00:34.:00:35.

shot at Broadway. It's going to be more than �30,000 per year, but so

:00:35.:00:39.

far I have remortgaged my house. And, magical maze. The tourist

:00:39.:00:44.

attraction that's a unique tribute to Harry Potter.

:00:44.:00:47.

In sport - Derbyshire give Durham the Colly wobbles with a bid to

:00:47.:00:50.

sign one of their top cricketers. And we meet some of Steve Bruce's

:00:50.:01:00.
:01:00.:01:09.

"Carnage" is the way one witness described the scene of the Keswick

:01:09.:01:12.

Bus crash which left two teenagers and a car driver dead. But along

:01:12.:01:15.

with descriptions of that terrible scene, the inquest into the deaths

:01:15.:01:17.

has heard stories of heroism and bravery.

:01:17.:01:19.

15-year-old Kieran Goulding, 16- year-old Chloe Walker and 68-year-

:01:19.:01:25.

old Patrick Short all died on 24th May last year. Alison Freeman has

:01:25.:01:29.

been at the inquest for us which is being held in Cleator Moor. Alison,

:01:29.:01:39.

what did we learn today? As you can imagine, it has been a hugely

:01:39.:01:43.

emotional day of evidence. We heard from the families of those who died,

:01:43.:01:47.

but also some important witness statements from David Ratcliffe,

:01:47.:01:50.

the bus driver on the day, who said he did everything he could to try

:01:50.:01:56.

and avoid the crash. He said he had also physically recovered from the

:01:56.:02:00.

accident but since had to give up bus driving. He was praised for his

:02:00.:02:06.

actions while the witnesses here today.

:02:06.:02:11.

-- by eight the other witnesses here today. It was a hot sunny day

:02:11.:02:14.

in May when a car drove onto the wrong side of the A66 towards a

:02:14.:02:18.

school bus. Driver David Ratcliffe told the inquest how he tried to

:02:18.:02:21.

swerve and only clip the car but the following impact caused the

:02:21.:02:24.

front of the bus to 'explode' and roll onto its side. He told the

:02:24.:02:26.

court: "I thought we were all goners".

:02:26.:02:28.

Witnesses arriving moments later described an eerie silence, until

:02:28.:02:33.

the youngsters started crying. The children and the bus driver were

:02:33.:02:35.

praised for their bravery, many ignoring their own injuries to help

:02:36.:02:40.

others. But two youngsters were beyond help. Keiran Goulding and

:02:40.:02:43.

Chloe Walker had been thrown under the bus, killed instantly by their

:02:43.:02:47.

injuries. The court heard today that neither teenager wore a

:02:47.:02:51.

seatbelt. Chloe had been knelt up talking to a friend and Kieran

:02:52.:02:56.

standing when the impact happened. Keiran's mother Tracey Nicholson

:02:56.:03:00.

was extremely upset throughout the day's evidence. In a statement read

:03:00.:03:10.
:03:10.:03:18.

Chloe's parents chose not to attend. In a statement her dad said she had

:03:18.:03:21.

gone to school that day, despite being allowed to study at home, as

:03:21.:03:31.
:03:31.:03:35.

it was her birthday and wanted to No reason was found today as to why

:03:35.:03:39.

Patrick Short was driving on the wrong side of the A66. His diabetes

:03:39.:03:44.

was all-but ruled out as a cause. But his wife Margrit Scott told the

:03:44.:03:53.

inquest he would have been "totally devastated" by what happened. A

:03:53.:03:56.

heartbreaking story. Did we hear any more about the exact cause of

:03:56.:04:03.

the crash? A lot of attention has been paid to Patrick Short and why

:04:03.:04:07.

he might have been driving on the wrong side of the road. A medical

:04:07.:04:11.

experts ruled out died BT's been a contributory factor to that, but

:04:11.:04:14.

did say that they may never find out if there was a medical

:04:14.:04:18.

condition which caused him to be on the wrong side of the road. We will

:04:18.:04:21.

get more from crash scene investigators later in the week and

:04:21.:04:25.

the inquest is due to end on Thursday.

:04:25.:04:28.

A private investigator from the north has been accused of targeting

:04:28.:04:31.

the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. It's claimed that Glen

:04:31.:04:33.

Lawson, who's based in Newcastle, sought access to police records to

:04:33.:04:36.

uncover information on the former Labour leader, and on Newcastle

:04:36.:04:39.

East MP, Nick Brown. It's alleged he did it for unidentified

:04:39.:04:43.

journalists. It's the latest of many allegations in the phone-

:04:43.:04:49.

hacking scandal. Keith Akehurst reports.

:04:49.:04:52.

The hacking scandal shows no signs of abating, and now some

:04:52.:04:55.

accusations point towards Tyneside. The Guardian newspaper alleges that

:04:55.:04:57.

a private investigator from Newcastle commissioned a search of

:04:57.:05:00.

police records for information about former Prime Minister Gordon

:05:00.:05:07.

Brown in November 2000. And that Glen Lawson of Abbey Investigations

:05:07.:05:09.

also targeted two other Labour politicians including Newcastle

:05:09.:05:19.
:05:19.:05:23.

East MP Nick Brown. Glenn Lawson rents a room at this business

:05:23.:05:27.

centre which is run by Newcastle City Council and their receptionist

:05:27.:05:31.

told us that he worked alone and he had not been seen here today. When

:05:31.:05:34.

reached by a BBC colleague Mr Lawson said, "I've no comment to

:05:34.:05:37.

make. Thank you.". Although, Nick Brown was alerted by the police

:05:37.:05:40.

seven years ago, the revelations of the last 24 hours have surprised

:05:40.:05:47.

him. The revelations in today's Guardian newspaper tell me more

:05:47.:05:50.

than I knew. There is also a question as to why the individual

:05:50.:05:56.

who is alleged to have commissioned the wrong doing was not himself

:05:56.:06:01.

prosecuted. In addition, the former cabinet minister is scathing about

:06:01.:06:05.

the treatment of Gordon Brown. is alleged is absolutely

:06:05.:06:11.

heartbreaking, that anyone could sink so low as to ring up any human

:06:11.:06:16.

being and say that they had got a child's health records and they

:06:16.:06:22.

would publish them. That is a despicable thing to have happened

:06:22.:06:26.

to any mother and father, and to have it happen to a friend of yours

:06:26.:06:31.

is very distressing and the individuals concerned should be so

:06:31.:06:34.

it -- thoroughly ashamed of themselves. This scandal has a long

:06:34.:06:44.
:06:44.:06:47.

A man's been charged with arson and murder following the death of a

:06:48.:06:50.

Redcar pensioner. 77-year-old Terry McGlade was found dead in a house

:06:50.:06:53.

fire at his home on Pennine Crescent early on Saturday morning.

:06:53.:06:56.

A 50-year-old man will appear before Teesside Magistrates Court

:06:56.:07:00.

today. And police are investigating the

:07:00.:07:05.

death of two people in County Durham. 51-year-old James McAndrew

:07:05.:07:08.

and 36 year-old Helen Swan were found at a house on John Street in

:07:08.:07:11.

Black Hill, near Consett. Post mortem examinations are being

:07:11.:07:14.

carried out. Lord Sebastian Coe has been

:07:14.:07:16.

presented with an honorary doctorate at Sunderland University

:07:16.:07:25.

by his old running rival, Steve Cram. Lord Coe beat his Great

:07:25.:07:28.

Britain team-mate to the Olympic gold medal in the final of the 1500

:07:28.:07:31.

metres at the Los Angeles games in 1984. The silver medallist is now

:07:31.:07:34.

Chancellor of Sunderland University, and handed over the award for Lord

:07:34.:07:37.

Coe's contribution to sport and his leadership of the successful 2012

:07:37.:07:39.

Olympic bid. Before the ceremony, the double-Olympic champion spoke

:07:39.:07:42.

about disappointment in Sunderland that it would miss out on an

:07:42.:07:49.

overnight stop for the Olympic Torch.

:07:49.:07:53.

We took local advice. These are never easy decisions. There are

:07:53.:07:58.

always going to be arguments about where and where they should be. We

:07:58.:08:02.

do plan a very big send-off the following morning in Sunderland.

:08:02.:08:08.

That will be with the torch. But I recognise local rivalries and I

:08:08.:08:14.

recognise the challenge we have had in choosing those stopovers, but it

:08:14.:08:20.

is actually very important that the region is represented in a very big

:08:20.:08:25.

way, and that will happen. value of horse racing to the

:08:25.:08:27.

economy of Yorkshire has been revealed for the first time. New

:08:27.:08:30.

research claims the sport brings in hundreds of million of pounds, and

:08:30.:08:33.

supports thousands of jobs. Our Business Correspondent, Ian Reeve,

:08:33.:08:41.

reports. They settle down and fight it out.

:08:41.:08:44.

It's not just exciting finishes, like this one at York, that

:08:44.:08:51.

Yorkshire's racecourses give us. According to new research the nine

:08:51.:08:54.

courses pump nearly �230 million a year into the county's economy, and

:08:54.:08:56.

are directly responsible for 2,300 jobs. And it's not just punters

:08:56.:09:03.

paying entrance fees that make up the figures. So off-course spending

:09:03.:09:08.

on things like hotels and food is nearly �30 million. Bookmakers at

:09:08.:09:12.

the courses make over �1 million. And caterers do pretty well too,

:09:13.:09:15.

making over �11 million. All very interesting but why tot up the

:09:16.:09:21.

figures. Well, in part, the courses are making a point to local

:09:21.:09:23.

authorities. All of them are looking to diversify into things

:09:23.:09:26.

like car boot sales and pop concerts, or build new stands. They

:09:26.:09:32.

all need licences and permissions. So the subtle message here then is,

:09:32.:09:35.

"Look how important we are, �228 million of importance, so listen to

:09:35.:09:43.

what we want.'. It is always handy to say that we are able to bring

:09:43.:09:47.

this money in and a lot of jobs for the local economy. It is always

:09:48.:09:52.

healthy when you have a project like we have got going on in the

:09:52.:09:56.

background, with extra refurbishments and things like that.

:09:56.:09:59.

Around one million people go racing in Yorkshire every year, giving

:09:59.:10:02.

that big boost to the economy. And they just thought they were having

:10:02.:10:12.
:10:12.:10:15.

When a ton and a half of lead was stolen from the roof of a Cumbrian

:10:15.:10:18.

church, leaving it with a repair bill of �30,000, there were fears

:10:18.:10:21.

it would have to close. But such was the strength of feeling at St

:10:21.:10:24.

Michael's in Shap parishioners have already raised �12,000 to keep it

:10:24.:10:28.

going. Last week, a local man was jailed for two years after

:10:28.:10:33.

admitting the theft. Mark McAlindon reports. It has stood for more than

:10:33.:10:39.

1,000 years. But the theft this year of lead from the roof has left

:10:39.:10:42.

the reverend here battling to save the church as rain water can now

:10:42.:10:49.

pour in. I was extremely worried. The thought of not being able to do

:10:49.:10:53.

anything was quite bleak. Insurance wouldn't cover the repair bill, so

:10:53.:11:00.

the only thing left was to appeal to the generosity of local people.

:11:00.:11:06.

We had to raise �32,500. The only way to do that was launched a local

:11:06.:11:12.

appeal and about one month ago we sent out envelopes to every

:11:12.:11:16.

household and about 600 envelopes went out, and over the last month

:11:16.:11:20.

they have slowly started to return, and the good news is we have so far

:11:20.:11:25.

raised around �12,000. For the last week a man was jailed for two years

:11:25.:11:29.

for admitting the theft. But the Reverend refuses to feel any

:11:29.:11:35.

bitterness. You can't be angry. He has been sentenced now. There is

:11:35.:11:39.

nothing we can do about that. He has lost his liberty for quite some

:11:39.:11:46.

time. It is just very sad. There has been a place of worship here

:11:46.:11:53.

since around 750 BC and the Church -- around 750 Addy and another 1012

:11:53.:11:57.

and -- 1,200 years. The strength of the response from the local

:11:57.:12:01.

community means that was it will continue here for the foreseeable

:12:01.:12:06.

future. -- that worship will continue here.

:12:06.:12:12.

Plenty more to come in tonight's programme. We meet the mum bullies

:12:12.:12:17.

remortgaging her home to give her son a chance of stardom and we

:12:17.:12:20.

report from the first day of the Great Yorkshire Show. And I will be

:12:20.:12:26.

here with the weather forecast for the Yorkshire Show and the rest of

:12:26.:12:33.

the north-east and Cumbria. It is one of the highlights of the

:12:33.:12:37.

summer, and thousands of people are in Harrogate for the Great

:12:37.:12:40.

Yorkshire Show. It is a showcase for Yorkshire life and tomorrow the

:12:40.:12:50.
:12:50.:12:56.

crowds will be joined by Prince It takes all sorts to make a show

:12:56.:13:01.

and some of it makes you feel dizzy. They are pulling out fantastic

:13:01.:13:05.

times like nine or 10 seconds. When I was competing here years ago a

:13:06.:13:09.

good time would be 11 seconds and I was over the moon with that. Now

:13:09.:13:14.

they are pulling out nine seconds. It is unbelievable. He can be

:13:14.:13:19.

dangerous at times, but all the safety is in line and it is all

:13:19.:13:23.

legitimate and all good. Most are not here for the adrenaline rush.

:13:23.:13:26.

The Great Yorkshire Show dates back to the 1830s. It's been on this

:13:26.:13:36.

site for 60 years. This is one of the most so real attraction. Real

:13:36.:13:40.

Scarborough sand, 10 tons of it from the beach, and over here is a

:13:40.:13:43.

real Scarborough donkey. This is William, and I think he is looking

:13:43.:13:49.

for the sea, but he won't find it in Harrogate. Over here is Gary, so

:13:49.:13:53.

tell me how important the show is to Yorkshire. It is the largest

:13:53.:13:59.

agricultural event in the UK. 150,000 people over three days, so

:13:59.:14:02.

it is really important for Harrogate, this part of North

:14:02.:14:05.

Yorkshire and for Yorkshire as a whole. Tomorrow, Charles and

:14:05.:14:11.

Camilla will be here. Interest keeps growing. Last year 130,000

:14:11.:14:18.

people came over three days. We put on a good show, and a reputation

:14:18.:14:23.

has built up over the years and it is now spreading further afield. I

:14:23.:14:31.

think that is what we try to deliver, what people want.

:14:31.:14:39.

How far would you go to secure your child's dream? Well, a mum from

:14:39.:14:41.

Sunderland has re-mortgaged her home so that her talented teenage

:14:41.:14:45.

son can go to stage school in New York. Baden Burns won a coveted

:14:45.:14:48.

spot at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. It's going to

:14:48.:14:56.

cost �30,000 a year. But far from being put off, his mum Anita has

:14:56.:15:06.
:15:06.:15:08.

swung into action to try to make it all happen. The stars they liked

:15:08.:15:12.

the night, like the sun in the morning light. Walleye note is that

:15:12.:15:17.

I'll be there someday. -- all I know is that of the their Sunday.

:15:17.:15:21.

And these stars will light the way. This Nineteen-year-old does not

:15:21.:15:25.

just seemed about the stars, he dreams about being one as well, and

:15:25.:15:29.

he made his performance debut at the age of five and has been acting

:15:29.:15:33.

dancing and singing ever since. have always been quite a shy person,

:15:34.:15:38.

but on stage I can be myself without being judged. It is fun to

:15:38.:15:44.

be judged for the audience and it is a proper cake. And it is this

:15:44.:15:50.

passion that led him to audition at the New York conservatory for

:15:50.:15:55.

dramatic parts. I thought the most ambitious place was a crack at New

:15:55.:15:59.

York, so I went to the audition and there were loads of people and it

:15:59.:16:05.

was quite scary and I felt pretty out of place. It turns out that I

:16:05.:16:12.

got in. This opportunity to train as a film and TV actor in the first

:16:12.:16:15.

two years and a stage performer in the third comes with a yearly price

:16:15.:16:20.

tag of more than �30,000, but his mum a meter isn't letting a figure

:16:20.:16:26.

like that get in the way of his dream -- his mother and metre.

:16:26.:16:32.

have remortgaged the house for �27,000. It does not even cover the

:16:32.:16:36.

first year, but we do have other bits. That includes money earned

:16:36.:16:40.

from busking, a 10,000 pound Career Development Loan and donations from

:16:40.:16:45.

his grandparents. But with so much at stake is the pressure on for him

:16:45.:16:51.

to succeed? There is no pressure. It is an opportunity. I want him to

:16:51.:16:56.

have that opportunity. It is there, and you have to do it. He flies to

:16:56.:17:06.
:17:06.:17:08.

Good luck to you. The Things We do for our kids? That is above and

:17:08.:17:12.

beyond. We will tell you how he gets on.

:17:12.:17:15.

Well, it's been a very busy summer for Sunderland boss Steve Bruce.

:17:15.:17:18.

He's already signed nine players, and could still add more to his

:17:18.:17:23.

squad. Today the Black Cats' new look side was in pre-season

:17:23.:17:26.

training and Katie Gornall went to meet some of the new names on

:17:26.:17:31.

Wearside. It was a bit like the first day of

:17:31.:17:33.

school for Sunderland's players with new faces on the training

:17:33.:17:38.

pitch and it is the calibre of signings like Wes Brown and John

:17:38.:17:41.

O'Shea that persuaded the Black cats latest recruits to sign on the

:17:41.:17:46.

dotted line. Some of the players they have already signed was a big

:17:46.:17:50.

incentive, and just the ambition of the club on the size of the club is

:17:50.:17:54.

there for everyone to see. You need a strong squad and last season some

:17:54.:17:58.

of them were on fire at the start of the season, but with injuries

:17:58.:18:03.

and suspensions they blow up, but that will hopefully not be the case,

:18:03.:18:07.

and the squad is strong. Sunderland fans hope Craig Gardner will repeat

:18:07.:18:11.

the form that saw him score 10 goals from midfield last season. He

:18:11.:18:17.

has been joined on Sunderland by his former Birmingham team-mate

:18:17.:18:21.

Sebastian Larsson. I have worked with the gaffer before, and when he

:18:21.:18:26.

showed interest it was nice to know what you're coming to. And about

:18:26.:18:29.

what he thought about and all of his staff. That was a big part of

:18:29.:18:35.

it. And amongst some seasoned Premier League stars were -- are a

:18:35.:18:38.

player yet to feature in the top flight, but that could change for

:18:38.:18:42.

Kieran West would, with Craig court and out injured, has every chance

:18:42.:18:47.

of becoming the new No. 1. -- Craig Gordon out injured. It is almost

:18:47.:18:51.

like a whole new team at Sunderland. Not all of the new signings are

:18:51.:18:55.

here as some are yet to link up with the team but will do so ahead

:18:55.:18:58.

of the pre-season trip to Germany. The fans will get a chance to see

:18:58.:19:03.

the rest at York City tomorrow night.

:19:03.:19:05.

Middlesbrough goalkeeper Jason Steele will miss the start of the

:19:05.:19:09.

new season after breaking a bone in his wrist. The 20-year-old picked

:19:09.:19:13.

up the injury in training this morning and will be out for up to

:19:13.:19:15.

three months. Boro's first choice keeper had only just returned from

:19:16.:19:18.

England Under-21 duty. He'll now be replaced by teenager Connor Ripley

:19:18.:19:28.
:19:28.:19:29.

as the squad set off for a pre- It's the dream of many a schoolboy

:19:29.:19:32.

to make it as a professional footballer and now a school in

:19:32.:19:35.

County Durham is hoping to help them realise that dream. Greenfield

:19:35.:19:38.

Community College in Newton Aycliffe is setting up a football

:19:38.:19:40.

academy with the help of former Sunderland and Darlington player

:19:40.:19:44.

Martin Gray which is thought to be the first of its kind in the

country. Other schools and colleges may have Football academies, but

:19:51.:19:55.

this one will be different, taking boys and girls between the ages of

:19:55.:19:58.

11 and 16. It will combine the physical side with education on a

:19:58.:20:02.

football theme and will be no easy option. It is very, very

:20:02.:20:06.

disciplined and they have to meet the levels that they are set before

:20:06.:20:10.

they come into the academy. If the grades drop off, the academy gets

:20:10.:20:14.

away from them. They will work closely with the skill to make sure

:20:14.:20:16.

that the high standard of qualifications within the

:20:16.:20:20.

enrichment programme is delivered. Martin was one of the lucky ones to

:20:20.:20:23.

make as a professional with Sunderland and Darlington but

:20:23.:20:26.

acknowledges he could have done better at school. So he has

:20:26.:20:30.

recruited his old teacher to help out. Martin will say he never got

:20:30.:20:34.

anything out of school like what he wanted and he sees a need for

:20:34.:20:37.

children to keep engaged and keep learning. The beauty of the project

:20:37.:20:41.

is that Martin is working with elite footballers and I am bridging

:20:41.:20:44.

the learning gap to make sure they are engaged in learning whether

:20:44.:20:49.

they are not playing football, that they are learning is continuing.

:20:49.:20:52.

Competition for places will be tough, but for those who make the

:20:52.:20:56.

great -- graded is a chance to live the dream. Since I was young I

:20:56.:20:59.

wanted to play football and I have not had opportunities to become

:20:59.:21:03.

professional but this has given me a great opportunity. I am excited

:21:03.:21:08.

about it. It is a fabulous opportunity and the best 40

:21:08.:21:10.

children will be hand-picked, starting this Wednesday evening

:21:10.:21:14.

from the school trials. Hopefully we can find one or two in the next

:21:14.:21:18.

two or three years and promote them and hopefully help someone on their

:21:18.:21:24.

way. Let's hope so. Cricket, and Derbyshire have made

:21:24.:21:26.

an audacious bid to sign Durham all-rounder and former England

:21:26.:21:29.

captain Paul Collingwood. The county has tabled a 28-day notice

:21:29.:21:32.

on the player which means they can't officially speak to him until

:21:32.:21:34.

the end of that period. However, Look North understands the

:21:34.:21:37.

championship leaders are prepared to allow the 35-year-old to see

:21:37.:21:39.

what second division Derbyshire have to offer, although they hope

:21:39.:21:42.

he'll stay with his home county. Collingwood still has more than a

:21:42.:21:45.

year to run on his contract at Durham where he's recently returned

:21:45.:21:49.

to regular action after six years with England.

:21:49.:21:51.

His knock of 24 against Warwickshire last night wasn't

:21:52.:21:54.

enough to help Durham avoid their second Twenty20 defeat on the trot

:21:55.:21:59.

though. In a nail-biting finish it went right down to the wire with

:22:00.:22:05.

the Dynamos losing on the last ball of the game at Edgbaston. They now

:22:05.:22:08.

have to beat Northants on Thursday and hope other results go their way

:22:08.:22:13.

to have any hope of making it through to the quarter finals.

:22:13.:22:16.

Meanwhile Yorkshire are in the driving seat on the second day of

:22:16.:22:19.

their County Championship match against Worcestershire. After

:22:19.:22:22.

dismissing the visitors for 168, captain Andrew Gale and fast bowler

:22:22.:22:24.

Ajmal Shazad hit impressive half centuries to take Yorkshire to 367

:22:24.:22:33.

in reply. Was to shut our 82-4 in the second innings --

:22:33.:22:36.

Worcestershire are 82-4. Pottermania seems to be sweeping

:22:36.:22:39.

the country again, with the final chapter of the boy wizard saga set

:22:39.:22:44.

for release in cinemas this Friday. And in North Yorkshire, one man's

:22:44.:22:48.

come up with his own special tribute to Harry Potter.

:22:48.:22:51.

To find out more, Charlotte Leeming's been taking a bird's eye

:22:51.:22:58.

view. When the final Harry Potter film is

:22:58.:23:01.

released later this week it will mark the end of the most successful

:23:01.:23:07.

movie franchise the world has seen. As excitement from the fans bills,

:23:07.:23:11.

a tourist attraction near York has come up with a unique way to pay

:23:11.:23:21.
:23:21.:23:25.

tribute to the boy was it. -- the Yes, amongst the pathways of the

:23:25.:23:28.

York a maze, a very special pattern has been cut into the hedge row. It

:23:28.:23:33.

is difficult to detect on the round -- ground, but becomes clear from

:23:33.:23:39.

the sky. Could this be the world's biggest puzzle? Two giant portraits

:23:39.:23:43.

of Harry Potter have been cut into the field. There are a few subtle

:23:43.:23:48.

differences which any the Eagle eyed will spot. We are flying high

:23:48.:23:52.

above it and you can see the hard work which has gone into it. The

:23:52.:23:58.

farmer designing the images used one million effects to create the

:23:58.:24:04.

camp. I think I might appreciated a bit more when I am back down on her.

:24:04.:24:09.

Teller's first of all why do Harry Potter theme this year? It was a

:24:09.:24:13.

bit of a family argument. My son and I were discussing it and I

:24:13.:24:16.

wanted to do the biggest spot the difference competition and my five

:24:16.:24:21.

year-old son wanted something to do with Harry Potter. We eventually

:24:21.:24:26.

settled on a compromise. It is a tribute to Harry Potter in the form

:24:26.:24:29.

of the world's biggest spot the difference competition. We have

:24:29.:24:32.

applied to the Guinness Book of World Records and hopefully we

:24:32.:24:36.

might get there and my son is happy because we have a bit of Harry

:24:36.:24:42.

Potter. So for Harry Potter maniacs this is an interesting maniac -- is

:24:42.:24:48.

as interesting way to get lost in the excitement. It is amazing. I

:24:48.:24:52.

hope he doesn't dress up like that when he is getting a harvest in!

:24:52.:25:01.

Not the most blazing hot of weeks in July. Let's look at the headline

:25:01.:25:05.

for tomorrow, and it will be fairly cold, a chilly breeze, but spells

:25:05.:25:10.

of sunshine. We will get pretty much a dry night through the

:25:10.:25:13.

evening and overnight for most evenings -- through most places.

:25:13.:25:17.

But quite chilly, and the temperatures dipping to around

:25:17.:25:23.

eight Celsius also where the skies are clear. Quite a cold July night

:25:23.:25:27.

to come. Through the morning, lots of sunshine at first, particularly

:25:27.:25:31.

in the north-east and for Northumberland, very pleasant on

:25:31.:25:35.

the coast. But always a chilly breeze, especially down the coast,

:25:35.:25:40.

and in the West we could see showers. There are one or two

:25:40.:25:43.

showers in North Yorkshire and the temperatures are down on what we

:25:43.:25:48.

would expect in the time of year. Just 16 or 17 Celsius, and 14 on

:25:48.:25:52.

the coast of Northumberland. It is all because of the chilly,

:25:52.:25:55.

northerly flow knocking the temperatures back. Turning to the

:25:55.:25:59.

West, one or two showers for the Lake District. Temperatures on the

:25:59.:26:02.

low side as well. The average for the time of year would be more like

:26:02.:26:09.

19 or 20 Celsius. Here is the big picture. A ridge of high pressure

:26:09.:26:12.

means a fine day on Thursday, probably the best of the week,

:26:12.:26:17.

before it topples in from the West with low pressure splashing in and

:26:17.:26:21.

wet-weather on Friday and it lasts through the start of the weekend. A

:26:21.:26:25.

bit of a squeeze on the isobars, and when they are closer together,

:26:25.:26:30.

but closer to the white lines, the stronger the winds. A little more

:26:30.:26:36.

detail. A pleasant day on Thursday in Cumbria. Temperatures recovering

:26:36.:26:40.

to the average before a wet Friday and a wet start to Saturday which

:26:40.:26:44.

should clear through the afternoon into sunshine and showers. But

:26:44.:26:48.

still the temperatures tending to be on the lower side. In the north-

:26:48.:26:54.

east, a similar picture. Great for the cricket on Thursday, 21 Celsius

:26:54.:26:57.

and very pleasant, but then the weather system brings cloud on

:26:57.:27:02.

Friday and showers on Saturday. Your forecast for the Great

:27:02.:27:05.

Yorkshire Show, looking good in the Vale of York, particularly on

:27:05.:27:11.

Thursday. Fine skies for the event. Miserable at the weekend. A

:27:11.:27:19.

There is pressure on News Corporation increasing with fresh

:27:19.:27:23.

accusations from the former prime minister Gordon Brown. An inquest
