touching story of the community that honours the repatriation of | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
all British service personnel. The full horer row of what happened | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
when Michael Atherton opened fire is revealed as inquests open into | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
the deaths of his victims. Also tonight. Is the face familiar? The | :00:25. | :00:30. | |

Tyneside as the Magpies make their Here we are just five days into the | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
New Year, and we have already brought home a young soldier from | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
our region, killed in action in Afghanistan. Private John King from | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Darlington, who served with 1st Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
was repatriated today. But there was a touching tribute paid to the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
19-year-old in Sedgefield, and what you may not know is every time a | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
soldier is repatriated, the people of this small County Durham | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
community turn out to pay their respects at a special service. In | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
strong winds, and driving rain, a crowd gathered. Members of the | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
public sounding -- standing shoulder to shoulder with veterans. | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
At the stroke of 11, the Last Post sounded. And the Union flag lowered. | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
A tribute to Private John King, and three recently fallen colleagues. | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
We hold services several times a year to mark the repapration. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Today's has particular significant given the death of Private John | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
King who lived down the road in Darlington. Feel it gives sup fort | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
the families, particularly those who can't get to Brize Norton, or | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
previously when it was at Wootton Bassett, that is when we started, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
it is nearly three years when we started. I have a grandson who is | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
training in the army, so, you know, it is best, it is just nice to pay | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
your tributes to them and show that you care about them. Especially the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Darlington young man. It is not far away. We know a lad from Darlington | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
has been brought home, no matter where we live we respect them the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
same. Private John King was 19, and served with the 1st Battalion the | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Yorkshire Regiment. His family said he died doing a job he adored. And | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
this afternoon, his body was repatriated, flown in to RAF Brize | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Norton in Oxfordshire. At his former school there is shock and | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
upset. Teachers here remember him with fondness. He had a tremendous | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
sense of fun. He had a wonderful smile. Little bit mischievous. He | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
wasn't afraid to be himself. You know, it didn't matter what the | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
peer expectations were, he was just John. He was very shy. Tomorrow a | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
special assembly will take place in memory of John and the school plans | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
a permanent memorial. Private King's funeral is expected to take | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
:03:44. | :03:46. | ||
place in Darlington in the next few weeks. It was all over in moments. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
And today, a haar rogue picture eAmericaed of events inside the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
County Durham house where gunman Michael Atherton opened fire on his | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
family. Today we learn he shot his partner as her teenage daughter | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
stood at her side. And we heard how three younger family members and | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
another guest fled for their lives into the street outside. But | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
tonight, a mystery remain, why did Mr Atherton open fire? The floral | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
tributes build up outside, to lost friends, lost parents. And now, we | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
know how events unfolded inside this family home on New Year's Day. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
10pm and inside are three younger family members. Round 10.30 Michael | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Atherton comes home from the pub, soon after his partner arrives back | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
from her night out, with her sister and niece. An argument starts. It | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
is a minor row, Mr Atherton then leaves the house, threw a back door. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
At that point the family think the row is over. In fact Michael has | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
gone out to the car where his gun is stored he was due to go out | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
shooting the next day. He returns to the house, and the shooting | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
begins. The police say it was over in moments. Rather than minutes. | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
Susan is shot dead. Her daughter Laura beside her. So close, she is | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
wounded by the blast too. Pellets shower across her. Mr Atherton | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
kills Susan's sister Alison and her niece Tanya. Then, shoots himself. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
19-year-old Laura has soon her mum die and flees upstairs. Her | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
boyfriend is already upstairs, the pair leap from a window and run. | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
17-year-old Michael junior meanwhile runs downstairs, he runs | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
through the front door, and out into the street. Today, praise for | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
the young survivors. I have spoken to the family today, particular | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Laura has been very brave. She has a wrap round her brother Michael. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
It is a very close knit family. They are pulling together | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
unbelievably in what can only be a tragic time. Today an inquest | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
opened into the four deaths. forensic psychologist is being | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
brought in now. The same man who worked on the Derek bird case in | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Cumbria. Michael Atherton was not being treated for depression. We | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:35. | ||
now know how he did it, we're a long way from knowing why. Strong | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
winds have once again caused disruption across the region, a | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
gust of 111mph was recorded at Great Dun Fell in Cumbria. On the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
M6 north o Penrith this lorry overturned on to a Highways Agency | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
patrol vehicle. No-one was injured. On the A1M Attenborough bridge | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
another lorry overturned and on Teesside two women had to be cut | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
from their car after a tree fell on it. Footballer Titus Bramble faces | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
a third charge of sexual assault. The 30-year-old Sunderland defender | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
was accused of indecently assaulting two women on a night out | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
in Yarm. The player was told an additional sexual assault relating | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
to one of the existing come play meant thats was to be added. He | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
denied the new charge. He has already pleaded not guilty to the | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
original two charges. Listen to this for a bill no-one would like | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
nearly �600 for a new curtain rail. �75 for an air freshener. They are | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
part of a building paint nans cost run up by the trust which runs two | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
hospitals in Carlisle and Whitehaven. There has been outcry | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
after the costs were revealed in figures revealed by the | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Conservative Party. They show between 2008 and 2011 almost �2 | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
million was spent on maintenance. The Cumberland Infirmary was the | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
first to be built under the controversial private finance | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
initiative. Critics said it would be too heavy a financial burden but | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
it has emerged the trust has spent large sums on seemingly similar | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
items like �584 for a curtain rail. It has been revealed �75 was spent | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
on fitting an air freshener given you can pick one for a pound on the | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
high street. Critics say it is a waste of money. You have things | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
like �35 for hanging notice boards. You get concerned about what the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
contract eventual obligations reached between the companies and | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
the hospitals, and it concerns me we are wasting money on the cost of | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
maintaining the hospital rather than concentrate tong healthcare of | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
people of North Cumbria. No-one we talked to disagreed. I think there | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
is a lot of wastage in the National Health Service there is too many | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
number, too many chiefss. doesn't cost �75 to fit an air | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
freshener. What a waste of money. You can go to a DIY shop and do it | :09:10. | :09:20. | |
:09:20. | :09:33. | ||
The PFI scheme, if we can renegotiate the contract, make | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
savings and use that money for healthcare that is for the good. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Now they were meant to be temporary buildings for prisoners of war, but | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
almost 70 years later they are still standing. Just. Because the | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
ravages of time are taking their toll on the Harperley Camp in | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
County Durham. Now English Heritage is spending 500,000 to stop further | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
der te -- deterioration of the most important parts of the site. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Harperley Camp was built to house Italian and then German prisoners | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
of war. It is the most complete example still surviving at of the | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
72POW cams -- camps. It is a scheduled ancient monument on a par | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
with Stonehenge. Sheds have been protected to pro-- sheds have been | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
constructed to protect it. This is why the work is urgent. Storms have | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
blown away the gable end, and if it wasn't rescued even more would be | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
destroyed. Just in the last few days a part of another hut has | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
collapsed in the wind. But at koost of 500,000, is this really the | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
right thing to do in times of austerity? Well if we don't do it | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
now there will be nothing to conserve. We, you can see if you | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
look round you it is just hitting a tipping point now. If we don't do | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
something now, then the whole of the site is in danger of | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
disappearing. You wouldn't let Stonehenge disappear, you can't let | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
a unique piece of history like this collapse. Considering the prefab | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
cased huts were only expected to last five years it is amazing | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
anything is still standing The main panelling on the buildings is made | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
from a material which is like Keirial. It is a maysing it is | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
still here. Prisoners painted murals. They erected cardboard | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
curtains. It has a theatre. There is nothing like it anywhere else. | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
Coming up. Homage who what is every woman's essential and the latest on | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Bryony's battle to the Societe pole. Closer to home, less drama and | :11:59. | :12:09. | |
:12:09. | :12:09. | ||
demolition but we are in for a chilly night. York is a city which | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
owes much to the humble chocolate. It has been associated with the | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
likes of Terry, Rowntree and Nestle. They brought jobs and prosperity | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
and could bring something new today because York could have a new | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
tourist attractions based on its sweet memories. Pete erhas been | :12:27. | :12:37. | |
:12:37. | :12:41. | ||
given an exclusive preview. -- Peter has. The sound of Rowntrees | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
chocolate girl, singing at work in the 1930s. Now part of an archive | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
of memories soon to become a popular visitor attraction in the | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
centre of York. The city is where the UK's love and affection for | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
chocolate was born, Rowntrees and Caifpbs and Terry's all started out | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
here. To this will be part of the new attraction space. With the help | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
of the Nestle archive a treasure your trove of artefacts has come to | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
light Packaging dating back to the early days of the company. Lots of | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
film footage and all kinds of paperwork and photographs and | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
memorabilia. This is a tin of chocolate that was sent to soldiers | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
by King George. Here we have the chocolate still inside and intact. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
Then there are the films. Images familiar to the thousands of | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
families who put in a shift themselvess or knew someone else | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
who worked at the factory. They made chocolates by hand. I did | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
piece work, so you know, if I saw anything nice I wanted in Chelsea | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Girl, Boutique it was in those days we would work like the clappers. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Over 200 of those films were made annal only a few have been found. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Perhaps you have one in your loft or maybe this is you on the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
production line. Either way the people here would love to hear from | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
:14:21. | :14:21. | ||
you. And they are all slim! Unbelievable. It looks as though | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
Bryony balen -- Bryony bailen is going to misa deadline. She is | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
hoping to the youngest Britton to complete the trek. It looks beyond | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
reach. Colin has the latest on her progress. Bryony and her team-mates | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
have more than 180 miles to go. So the chances of them arriving at the | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
pole by January 17th are now unlikely. We have had a few | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
difficulties. Illnesses, so I don't think it is going to be a | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
possibility. Obviously dist bit disappointed but we are out here | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
for the experience and as a team we agreed we would prefer to get there | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
safe and sound and together rather than with everyone suffering. It, | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
the entire experience, the South Pole is only a small part of it. We | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
have been here for 40 days now, and, you know, working as a team, and | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
being in Antarctica and taking such an expedition is amazing, without | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
going for that one date. Bryony shares training has stood her in | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
good stead and apart from a cold and the occasional headache she is | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
feeling fit and enjoying the trek. That is just as well really, | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
because Antarctica can be an inhos39able place. Temperatures | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
today are down to minus 20. Goodness me. She is welling toed. | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
Very different to this. Every woman is meant to have one of these. A | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
little black dress to suit those special occasions. An exhibition is | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
running in Carlisle in homage to the LBD which has been worn by a | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
variety of women and styles in the past 100 years. Alison went to find | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
:16:28. | :16:39. | ||
She is arguably the ultimate LBD wearer. Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
at Tiffany's. Chanel is credited with creating the first in the | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
1920s but followers of fashion might be surprised to hear it has | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
much sadder routes. -- roots. Queen Victoria came to represent the | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
whole idea of mourning black and maintaining that black mourning | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
period. Chanel relaunched it. Showed it as chic, a stylish | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
garment that could be liberated of that notion. The exhibition | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
features snapshots of the role of blas dresses over the past 100 | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
years from how it has been worn which film legended to cartoon | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
characters. Been made the male fantasy by Robert Palmer and who | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
can forget that dress on Liz Hurley. And of course you can't have | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
dresses without the accessories. like all the patterns they have out. | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
It has inspired me to do some dress making. Perhaps I am showing my age | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
but Breakfast at Tiffany's brought back a certain usefulness. I | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
wouldn't have minded a video and my wife liked a couple of dresses, | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
very very much indeed. The ones with the white beading on I think. | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
Are there any ladies who have said that is a dress I love. I did that! | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
I will be too. I think we all look at some of them and would throng | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
pout them on. Unfortunately Tay are part of a collection and we can't | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
do that. They are valuable. When you reach the final room of the | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
exhibition here at Tully House you are surround by modern designs by | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
greats like Vivian Westwood. Enough to tantalise the taste buds of the | :18:31. | :18:41. | |
:18:41. | :18:45. | ||
most die-hard fashion fans. Not underdressed, understated and chic. | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Very modest. Plenty of style in the sport. Not me of course. The | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Premier League's top two have both come to the North East in 2012 and | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
gone home to Manchester empty- handed. The Newcastle's tree nil | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
win over the champions last night is likely to be talked about on | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Tyneside for years to come. 3-0 win. These were staens at full-time as | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
they celebrated one of their most comprehensive victorys over | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
Manchester United. A result that consolidates seventh place for | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Newcastle and leaves Mammuthus primigenius in pole position for | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
the title. No wonder that Alan Pardew is pleased to reflect on a | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
night when his side outplayed a below par united. There is a | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
complete victory for us over a top team, probably the high light of my | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
time here. It is important you don't rest on your lar rels and you | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
want to get that every week. I say to players in the dressing room, we | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
are a big club. You must expect we need to win every week. That is why | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
we are paid. That is how we attacked most games. There was no | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
sign of what was to come. Newcastle's 15 goal star striker | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Demba Ba who is about to head off to the Africa Cup of Nations | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
probably should have had a penalty here. But revenge was sweet. This | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
is bah! Just try everything when I'm on the pitch. Everything is | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
just going in. Demba Ba and Tiote will be unavailable for the next | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
couple of weeks. The lead was doubled in the second half with a | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
celebration to match. And while the other United huffed and puffed | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
their night was summed up with a Phil Jones own goal. Happy memories | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
of the 5-0 nil win for Albert in the press Go box. This lot will be | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
after the DVD for their next Christmas stocking. I am sure they | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
are working on it already. Sunderland who stay tenth because | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
of Everton's defeat have tide um Jack Colback on a two-year contract | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
extension. He played on despite turning his ankle. From the | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
Football League a top non-league club facing possible extinction. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
The administrators at Darlington have given days for a buyer to save | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
the club. Meaning this Saturday's game could be the last one for a | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
long time, or maybe ever. We caught up with Craig Liddle. In | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
administration for the third time these could be the final days for | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Darlington football club. But, there is a match to play on soared | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
and caretaker manager Craig Liddle has to motivate the team even | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
though they all know it is probably for the last time. What I keep on | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
relaying to them is they have 90 minutes to forget ant the financial | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
worries and the off feel problem the club has go. I asked them to do | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
a job for the football club and to date they have done it to a man | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
magnificently. It is more remarkable when you consider most | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
haven't been paid for two months such is the club's desperate | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
financial state. Until today they didn't know how they would get to | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
their away game. Fortunately the Northern Echo have agreed to pay | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
for the coach to Barrow which is a fantastic gesture. We have had | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
supporters from a website of local spor fors who have raised close to | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
�2,000 to pay for the boys a prematch meal. Which is a fantastic | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
gesture. With liquidation looking likely Craig agrees the troubled | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
started when they were saddled with an ambition and a stadium that were | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
way beyond their reach. The drain, the money it drains out of the | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
football club is incredible, for electrician THEty, water rates, you | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
name it it is huge. For us to continue the best option would be | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
to get out of that ground. unless a buyer steps forward in the | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
next few days we could be saying goodbye to a team that has been | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
playing professional football in the North East for over 100 years. | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
Grim stuff indeed. On BBC Tees sort from six tomorrow evening the | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
former Darlington chairman Raj Singh will talk about his decision | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
to put the club into administration. These are desperate times on the | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
pitch for Newcastle Falcons who are rooted to the bottom of Rugby | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Union's Premiership. A barren Christmas means they are ten points | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
adrift of their nearest rivals. On Saturday they face Exeter, a side | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
they have never beaten at Kingston Park. Newcastle Falcons were | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
getting in quality training at the indoor barn this morning, hoping | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
some of that winning feeling might rub off on them. It has been a | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
miserable season and Christmas and New Year weren't better. Not only | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
did they lose both game, disaster struck when Worcester beat wasps to | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
cast Newcastle ten points adrift at the bottom of the league. Never in | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
their Premiership history have been been in such a position. When you | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
look at the fixture list it is hard to see where the points are going | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
to come from. With the New Year comes new hope for Jimmy gop Perth | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
who will captain the side. We have talks about diss pouncements, we | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
looking forward to making 2012 a total -- disappointment: It starts | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
on Saturday and we need the points and we need to start off 2012 with | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
a huge win. He will be top of the priority list when it comes to | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
resigning players out of contract. But the position in the league | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
doesn't help negotiation. I am going to be talking to players | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
about signing on, they will mention the relegation word, if you stay up, | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
try to bring players to the club, where will we finish. It is a hard | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
job in recruitment. They must beat Exeter to avoid making a difficult | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
job an impossible one. Serious stuff. Very much. Wish them well. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
It is time for the weather. You don't need me to tell you it is | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
don't need me to tell you it is windy Trai. It has been a dramatic | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
frue hours. We were the windiest place in the UK. Gusts of 112mph up | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
over Great Dun Fell and sadly scenes like this prevalent round | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
the region. This one from near Harrogate where William and a lot | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
of others had to clear this tree. It is the only access route to the | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
village but they managed to get it moved. I am glad to say the | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
strength has gone out of the winds tonight. It will be less windy but | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
we replace them instead with a chill of a frost on the map. Let us | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
look at it. We have dry and clear skies at the moment. They will stay | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
that way all through the night tonight. Those clear skies working | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
in tandem with less of a breeze means that temperatures will drop | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
further. Where you are in the major towns and city, out in more rural | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
areas down to minus one or two. The risk of icy stretchs on the roads | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
again to look out for through the niect and tomorrow. First thing | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
nice sunny dry bright start especially in the North East. For | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
Cumbria that cloud moves through the morning and come the afternoon | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
it will started to feed in. Some patchy mostly light rain, it will | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
get a bit stuck on the tops of the fells. Not making much of an inroad | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
but there could be a scattering of showers left over. In terms of | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
temperature, tomorrow's tops six to eight so on the cool side with the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
remnants of that breeze. We are straight into Friday night and the | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
weekend. That is when we see the line tons charts bunching together. | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
The winds picking up from the weekend, still coming from that | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
north-westerly direction for the most part but for Saturday it means | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
the final day, no more than an odd shower for Cumbria, with good sunny | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
spells round. Into Sunday though we get a change of air. It will bring | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
in more cloud from the west and the possibility of rain coming back for | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Cumbria later on in the day. So a quick summary first of all for the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
North East. Things looking fine, through Friday and Saturday, | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
certainly a lot less drama than we have seen and for Sunday you get | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
more cloud coming in on that westerly breeze. For Cumbria itself | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
you will see a bit more cloud all the way through generally, you will | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
get some sunny spell bus it will be Sunday in particular where you will | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
look to the west for the rain coming in. But all in all, not a | :27:22. | :27:27. |
