him. And so he should be. In sport, the wait is nearly over | :00:48. | :00:51. | |

Saturday as the Premier League A police officer from Cumbria is in | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
prison tonight after harrassing vulnerable women he wanted to have | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
sex with. Detective Constable Mark Fisher was jailed for four years | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
after he used a police computer to track the women down. The Deputy | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Chief Constable of Cumbria Police said that Fisher's colleagues were | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
dismayed and angered by his actions. Damian O'Neil reports. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
DC Mark Fisher faced 8 charges of misconduct in public office and was | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
found guilty of five. He used a police computer to find out | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
confidential information about women, some of whom he went on to | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
have sex with. In one instance, he offered to settle a drug debt for a | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
woman if she agreed to sleep with him. The trial has cast a shadow | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
over the Cumbrian police force. do feel quite annoyed, angered, | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
dismayed. All those sort of things come to mind. This is somebody who | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
has let everybody down. He has let himself down, he has let his family | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
down, he has let the people of Cumbria down. They give us a lot of | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
trust, they expect us to behave properly, they allow us to do | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
things that normal citizens cannot do and Mark Fisher has abused his | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
position in a very cynical way. As a consequence, he will be | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
imprisoned for four years. He is paying a heavy price. It is a very | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
heavy sentence for somebody in his position. Go back a few years and | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
he was a very good detective. But of recent, he has changed his way | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
of working. He has abused people, he has put people in a position | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
where he can take control of them and he has had to face the | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
consequences now. The judge told Mark Fisher that he had taken into | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
account his good character, his many years a police service and the | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
fact that his life was now in ruins. But he said that Mark Fisher was a | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
disgrace to the office which he had held. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Another blow for our beleaguered police. Tonight, two officers are | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
being treated after being stabbed by a man in Darlington. It happened | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
in Gurney Street near the town centre. But as our Chief Reporter | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Chris Stewart found out, this was a tale that also brought the police a | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
welcome reaction from the public. Tonight, the police were still on | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
the scene asking about something that could have been tragically | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
wrong -- could have gone tragically wrong. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
A suspect turned on two police officers. He had a blade. He | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
stabbed one officer in the arm, the other in the head. As the officers | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
struggled to subdue him, passers-by intervened. I am pleased to say | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
that members of the public came to the assistance of the police | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
officers. With a persistence, the officers managed to restrain this | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
individual. In this week of all weeks, it is pretty heartening. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
is, but it is no surprise at all. It has happened to me and to most | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
of my officers. Members of the public have come to their | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
:04:19. | :04:21. | ||
assistance. It is heartening and make it long continue. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Tonight, a 22-year-old man is in custody. The officers attacked here | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
were not seriously hurt and say they are looking forward to being | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
back on duty as soon as possible. Chris Stewart, Darlington. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
One of the North's best known racehorse trainers intends to | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
retire after he was banned from racing for four years. Howard | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Johnson, who is based in County Durham, was found guilty of doping | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
and welfare offences by the British Horse Racing Board. It found he ran | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
a horse in eight races after its legs were cut so it could run | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
through the pain barrier. Our Correspondent Mark Denten is | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
outside Mr Johnson's stables near Crook and joins us now. | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
These are the stables of Howard Johnson, all is quiet tonight. You | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
can understand that because it seems that it is the end of the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
road for one Howard Johnson has been in the sport for 25 years and | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
won some of the major events. But he has been banned for four years | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
and he as indicated that he will retire. The heart of the story is a | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
horse called Striking Article which had been run in eight races when it | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
the nerves in his left leg had been severed. This is a procedure | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
against the Horseracing Board's rules and is designed to get | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
animals through the pain barrier. The board said that Howard Johnson | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
had a reckless disregard of the rules of welfare and would not be | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
tolerated. What has Howard Johnson had to say | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
this afternoon? He has not spoken in an interview. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
He has promised a statement next week. But he has said he will not | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
be appealing. He says he has done nothing wrong. This is him arriving | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
at the hearing last month. He has been insisting all along that he | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
did not know that he had broken any rules or done anything wrong. But | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
tonight, he is banned from racing for four years and from every | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
racecourse in the world. That is a huge banner. What is the | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
reaction locally? Yes, racing is a big industry in | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
this part of County Durham. We got the views of some punters. | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
deserves it, abusing horses like that. What chance as a punter got? | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
It is going wrong all the time. am sorry the staff will lose their | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
jobs. What does it mean for this area? It is a disaster, there is no | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
word here to start with. We expect Howard Johnson to give his side of | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
the story next week, but for now, one of the biggest names in the | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:27. | ||
racing industry and the North seems to have ended his career. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
A woman has been arrested on Tyneside for allegedly posting | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
messages on social networking sites encouraging people to cause trouble. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
The 21-year-old woman from Hebburn was arrested for inciting others to | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
commit disorder and has been released on bail pending further | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
inquires. The Thai steel company SSI has | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
revealed the date it hopes to start making steel again on Teesside. It | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
recently took over the mothballed plant and blast furnace at Redcar | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
from Tata, where 1,600 people lost their jobs. But the new owner now | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
plans an early Christmas present for the area. Our Business | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Correspondent, Ian Reeve, reports. Idle now, but these contractors | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
working on bringing the blast furnace back on line now know when | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
it has to be making steel again. December 8th is the target date, | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
just over four months away. We live with that kind of sword hanging | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
over ahead, but the date is what we have to work to. It is the start of | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
the process. There are many things that can get in the way of that | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
date but we know when them. Meanwhile, recruitment at SSI goes | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
on as the company builds itself up from scratch. And it's not over the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
top to say there's a real buzz about the steelworks, a sense of a | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
positive future. There certainly is a feel-good factor on the site. The | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
hardships that we have gone through recently seem far away. We have | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
seen a lot of work on the site in preparation for 8th December. | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
company say that the start date might slip. There is no shortage of | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
people who want to work for SSI. 6700 people have expressed an | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
interest are the jobs on offer. 2500 have made a firm application. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
And the enthusiasm for SSI from Teessiders appears to be a two-way | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
street. These billboards have sprung up all across Teesside, an | :09:26. | :09:36. | |

apparent commitment to a long-term A man from County Durham has | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
described the moment when a teenager held a gun to his head in | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
an attempt to steal his sandwich. 51-year-old Garry Bell was on his | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
way to work on Sunday night in Bishop Auckland when a young man | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
tried to grab his carrier bag. He hung onto the bag and the teenager | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
got away. Adele Robinson reports. He does put the gun here. He | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
pressed it against my temple. It was a couple of inches away. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
For Garry, a usually uneventful walk to work last Sunday evening | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
resulted in a gun being held to his head. It was just after 9.30, on | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
his way to start a nightshift, when Garry came across a teenager on the | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
:10:27. | :10:30. | ||
A688 road. He asked what was in the back. I told him. He pulled a gun | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:40. | ||
out. He put it to my temple. I shouted at him and I swore at him. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
Garry believes the teenager was under the influence of drink or | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
drugs. He says that by simply walking away, it may have saved his | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
life. I do not know if it was a real gun. If I had reacted, it | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
could have gone off. He might have got nervous. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
And all for what was in the bag - a cheese and onion sandwich, a packet | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
:11:12. | :11:14. | ||
of crisps and a bottle of pop. did this to be on a busy main road. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
-- to me. Next time, someone might not be as lucky as I am. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Police are investigating and Garry says he has been told they are | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
looking at nearby CCTV to hopefully catch the robber. Garry though | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
remains philosophical about his experience. Being a believer in | :11:28. | :11:38. | |

fate, if that is going to happen, it is going to happen. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
He ran more than 3,000 miles across the USA and, today, the Geordie | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
runner flew home to a hero's welcome. Mark Allison trekked from | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
California to New York through deserts and sweltering temperatures, | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
all for charity. And though he says his feet are killing him, he is | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
already planning his next run. Peter Harris went to meet him. | :11:59. | :12:09. | |
A cheer, a hug - this hero's welcome was earned the hard way. | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
What a welcome. So many people. I feel famous. My feet are run a bad | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
state. There was a heatwave towards the end of the run at my feet | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
:12:29. | :12:29. | ||
swelled up pretty badly. There are blisters there. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
So vast was the distance Mark ran across the US that he has been | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
through snow and 115 degree heat. And then this week - the finish | :12:36. | :12:45. | |

:12:58. | :13:01. | ||
Brilliant. I cannot believe it. It is all over. All over. Very, very, | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
very proud. I cannot describe how proud I am of them. He has done | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
something that no one could ever do. He has made us proud, he has made | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
us cry, he has made us laugh. has raised almost �80,000 for St | :13:22. | :13:32. | |

Benedict's Hospice where his mother was cared for. But here or not, his | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
wife will bring him back to earth. When he gets home, there are jobs | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
:13:49. | :14:04. | ||
waiting for him. Deserves a cheer tomorrow at St | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
James's. And still to come tonight. Previews | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
of the weekend's two big games. Plus Joe McElderry pops in to tell | :14:10. | :14:20. | |
us why it's good to be home. It's the date that will put certain | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
birds into a bit of a flap. The so- called Glorious Twelfth. Today | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
marks the start of the grouse shooting season, which means four | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
months of a sport that brings millions of pounds into our rural | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
economy, as Olivia Richwald reports. The elusive and exclusive wild red | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
grouse. These words are worth �22 billion to Yorkshire's economy. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
They are known as the ultimate shooting bird, and the price of | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
this board reflects that. Each shooter will pay about �2,000 for a | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
day out on the moor. They contribute towards the preservation | :14:50. | :14:59. | |
of the moor. They are worth a lot of money to associated businesses. | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
The Yorkshire Dales has some of the best gross grounds. Every year, | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
wealthy tourists come to Yorkshire to take part. They need places to | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
stay, eat and shop. This is his first grouse season. He is taking | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
some practice at a clay pigeon shooting centre. We went to York, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
we went fishing, we went to see lots of things. A as with most | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
country sports, etiquette is very important. This shock turned over a | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
quarter of a million pounds last year thanks in part to the Kate | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Middleton effect. This year has been very tough, so it is very | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
important to us that we have a good shooting season. We specialise in | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
shooting and last year was a record year for grouse shooting and we had | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
the benefit of it. Grouse shooting is still controversial and there | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
are some who want all bloodsports to be banned. But for many others | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:19. | ||
in Yorkshire, it is a vital part of a fragile you rural economy. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Now, he's one of the best-known faces and voices on the current | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
music scene. X-Factor champ, the winner of Popstar to Operastar. And | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
now he's about to release a new album of classic songs. But South | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
Shields' finest - Joe McElderry - found himself caught up in the | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
riots this week. He was in Hackney filming the video to accompany his | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
new single when the violence began there. Which could not have been | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
much fun? It was quite scary to see it, not on the television, but at | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
first hand. We are not used to that. Could you hear it? Yes, you could. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
You could hear the banging, the helicopters, see the smoke from the | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
cards. What do you do? We carried on. We had a contingency plan that | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
if it got any closer, we would have to leave. You could hear it getting | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
closer, but then they moved away and went somewhere else. This video | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
is all part of a new album. You are just tried to find an issue that | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:26. | ||
you enjoy? -- our nation. This is similar to what we did on X Factor. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
It is all the big songs. Just a different slant on them. Is this a | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
bit of a mood of way from pop music? There are still some pop | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
ballads on there. People would still classify them as a pop | :17:43. | :17:53. | |
:17:53. | :17:55. | ||
ballads. You new label, what happened with Simon Cowell? Is he | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:05. | ||
still a mate of yours? Yes, I am now signed up to universal. Are you | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
still friends with them? Yes, definitely. It is down to Simon | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
Cowell but I got the platform one X Factor. When this better way, it | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
was nothing vicious. It was made out to be like that, but it was not | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
like that. I am back for for the opportunities I have been given. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
Are you glad to be home, away from the riots? I love coming home, | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
going out with my friends and family. It is great to come back | :18:43. | :18:52. | |
home. What a nice land. -- a nice lad. | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
Good luck to him and a tour football teams. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
The eagerly awaited opening game of the season sees Sunderland pitched | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
against a transformed Liverpool side expected to be in serious | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
contention for Europe. Among their expensively assembled squad will be | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
former Black Cats' star Jordan Henderson, the first time he will | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
:19:19. | :19:20. | ||
play against his home town club. The Liverpool fixture has brought | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
controversy in recent seasons. Who can forget the infamous beach ball | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
into 1009 of the refereeing decisions last season that upset | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
:19:40. | :19:43. | ||
manager Steve Bruce? -- in at 2009. The penalty awarded for a foul | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
outside the box. There have been lots of incidents. But I hope to | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
give a good account of or sells. We could not have wished for a more | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
difficult start, but it is upon us. Sunderland are a much changed squad | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
with 10 arrivals and about half a dozen departures. Much of the | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
movement paid for by the sale of Jordan Henderson to Liverpool. The | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
midfielder is still an inspiration for Wearside's finest youngsters as | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
they take part in a training camp organised by former Sunderland | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
defender and Middlesbrough coach Martin Scott. Also, instructing the | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
boys is Henderson's former teacher. I think he has made a good choice | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
of Liverpool. I was sad to see them leave, but as his teacher, I hope | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
he does really well. As a Sunderland supporter, I hope he has | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
:20:45. | :20:54. | ||
a good game and Sunderland won. -- Sunderland win. | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
After reaching 10th in May, fans can be forgiven for expecting an | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
even better finish this season. But BBC Newcastle's Sunderland | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
commentator cautions against wild optimism. They have an outside | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
chance of Europe, but I would not like to see supporters raised their | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
expectations are believed the squad is this cord double-takes | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
Sunderland into Europe. -- this squad could take. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
If Sunderland can win at Anfield, it will be the first time in 28 | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
years. Well there could be another | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
familiar face in the line-up at Anfield tomorrow after Jose Enrique | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
today completed his transfer from in a repeat of one of the most | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
exciting games of last season. But it's been a challenging summer for | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
both clubs. Preseason was marred by player | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
unrest, big name departures and even the weather. Last season's | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
top-scorer Kevin Nolan is now at West Ham and Jose Enrique has just | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
joined Liverpool. Both were influential in the Magpies' | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
incredible fightback from 4-0 down against Arsenal last season. | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
Although Alan Pardew insists his new-look side can still impress. | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
We have got a much younger team this year. They should be more | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
energy on the pitch. -- there should be. We do not have the depth | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
of experience, but we hope to make up for that with exuberance. We | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
have made good signings in the summer. We will have new players on | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
the pitch that will impress us. Five new faces have come through | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
the door at St James's and they all have one thing in common. It helps | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
that the majority are all French speaking, they know one another, | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
but there is a question mark over it. To bring in that number of | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
players who are Premier League unknowns is a gamble. If it goes | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
the right way, Newcastle could be the surprise package of this season. | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
I am looking forward to seeing them. It could be what we needed end of | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
it field. We have also got a new winner. | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
Meanwhile Arsenal have had struggles of their own this summer | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
and face losing two of their best players in Samir Nasri and Cesc | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Fabregas, both of whom have been left out of squad for tomorrow's | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
match. Arsenal are arguably in more turmoil than Newcastle. They are in | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
the process of losing big players. There is pressure on Arsene Wenger. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
Arsenal Football Club are in danger of dropping out of the top four. I | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
think they are ideal opposition. It is perhaps too much to expect a | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
repeat of last season's incredible 4-4 draw, but with Newcastle United, | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
you never know. The midfielder Julio Arca has re- | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
signed for Middlesbrough in a two year deal. The 30-year-old's | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
previous contract expired in the summer and he had looked likely to | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
leave Teesside after talks broke down last week. The Argentine will | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
now go straight into the squad for Boro's trip to Leeds tomorrow. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Elsewhere, in League One, Carlisle will be after their first points | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
and goals of the season when they travel to Bury. Hartlepool will | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
look to bounce back from their Carling Cup defeat to Sheffield | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
United as they take on Walsall at Victoria Park. And as well as the | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
Premier League, the Conference season gets underway this weekend | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
with Darlington, York and Gateshead all hoping to get their campaigns | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
off to a winning start. And don't forget you can follow | :24:31. | :24:33. | |

first innings of the game between Durham and hunts is still going on. | :25:03. | :25:13. | |
:25:13. | :25:17. | ||
It is looking brighter tomorrow. We have got an iced cloudy weather | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
:25:27. | :25:31. | ||
picture send them to us. -- sent in to us. It will feel a lot more like | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
summer tomorrow. But more rainfall over night. It will become patchier | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
in the east, a disappointing night for those of us hoping to see the | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
meteor shower. It is mild overnight, temperatures of 12 or 13 Celsius. | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
It will be a mild start to Saturday. The room was soon clear, leaving | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
sunny spells. It will dry up in the West. -- the rain will it soon | :26:00. | :26:10. | |
:26:10. | :26:14. | ||
clear. Temperatures up to 20 Celsius in part of the North East. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
Around about 16 or 17 in Cumbria. Westerly winds. Sunday looking very | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
nice as well. Bright skies in the West. It will stay that way for | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
much of Monday and Tuesday. Just isolated showers, nowhere near as | :26:32. | :26:42. | |
heavy or as persistent as recent showers. In the east, some delivers | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
:26:52. | :26:54. | ||
glorious. We could hit 21 Celsius. -- Sunday looks at glorious. And a | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
brooding story of the next few days. It is cloudy tonight, so with the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
rain and cloud, or we will miss the peak of the year's biggest meteor | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
shower. But Saturday and Sunday night, those skies should clear so | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
look in the opposite direction of the full when. If you have the full | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
moon behind you, look anywhere in the sky and tried to get as far | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
away as you can from street lights and you could see a shooting star, | :27:22. | :27:29. |
