seven years. Shake-up in the North East | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Ambulance Service. Changes to 999 call-outs across the region. There | :00:16. | :00:18. | |

fans move to take over the running of the football club. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Our mutual friend Colin Briggs follows in the footsteps of Charles | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Dickens on Tyneside. And a tale of two critters - these | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
prickly customers forgot to hibernate, and now there's a cold | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
snap coming! In sport, we look back at a good | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
night on the football pitch for our top three, including a first | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Premier League goal for this man, and a second in four days for the | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
:00:51. | :01:01. | ||
A driver has been jailed for knocking down and killing a man who | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
had stopped to help at the scene of an accident. Michael Ritson had his | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
family in the car when he went to the aid of a motor cyclist, but | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Steven Black drove into him, killing him. Blackwood's jailed for | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
seven years today. Killed after trying to help. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
Michael Ritson, a father of three, had gone to the aid of an injured | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
biker. A split second decision that was to have devastating | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
consequences. Michael Ritson had pulled over here, on the bypass, | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
after witnessing a crash between a car and a motorcycle. He stood in | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
front of the car, believing that the driver, Steven Black, was | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
attempting to flee the scene. But he drove straight at him. He hit | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
the windscreen, it was thrown on the roof of the car and onto the | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
road. He suffered head injuries and died in hospital two days later. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
Steven Black, who had his daughter in the car with him, pleaded guilty | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
to causing death by dangerous driving. His defence was that he | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
had not intended to leave the scene of the accident. End a recording of | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
the call played to the court, Black was heard to tell the operator "I | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
have got some idiot tried to getting". The actions of Steven | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Blackwood callous and it reckless. They have had a massive impact on | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
the family of Michael Ritson. It has been devastating for his wife, | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
three children and parents. The children were in the car when this | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
tragedy occurred. Michael Ritson's widow, Tracey, told the court of | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
her overwhelming grief. She said, "I have lost my best friend. I | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
cannot describe the pain I feel." Steven was sentenced to prison for | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
seven years. Changes in the running of the North | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
East Ambulance Service have been announced. The service says it has | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
had to do this because it could not guarantee that none 99 call-outs | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
would get to patients in time. But critics say the plans could put | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
lives at risk. The North East Ambulance Service | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
response to emergencies from the Scottish borders, to North | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Yorkshire and West of the Pennines. It serves over 2.5 million people. | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
But now it is planning major changes. The changes include | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
expanding its urgent care category of ambulance. These do not have | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
paramedics on board, but that would leave paramedic ambulances to | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
concentrate on emergencies. What we aim to achieve this they focus on | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
making sure that where it is a transport arrangement with clinical | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
supervision, those patients are treated by our urgent care team, | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
and leaving our paramedics more free and able to respond to more | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
life-threatening conditions. ambulance service is changing its | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
map as to what services are offered to wear. Some places will gain a | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
double croute paramedic ambulance, but others will lose one of theirs. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
The service says there will be no redundancies, and says the changes | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
will not jeopardise the health of patients. But the MP of Berwick | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
says the plant may put lives at risk. People from -- people feel | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
very strongly of this. They know the value of ambulance services. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
They do not want a situation where if one ambulance is 50 miles away, | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
they have got to find another one. The union Unison it says the move | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
damages the ambulance service and will leave staff and patients | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
missing out. If you look at this planet, there is a need for | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
services in that area for patience and staff. There will be a | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
reduction of qualified staff. the service is under pressure. The | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
number of 999 calls has doubled in the last 10 years, and the service | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
needs to find savings of �200 million. It is hoped the changes | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
will come in by the end of the year. It's a new dawn for Darlington. The | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
fans have stepped in to run the club which was facing extinction | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
just a week ago. There are successful clubs across Europe | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
which are run by their fans - from AFC Wimbledon to the mighty | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Barcelona. Darlington is not expecing to win the Champions | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
League just yet, but the manager is now viewing the future with | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
cautious optimism. Keith Akehurst has all the latest developments. | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
:06:35. | :06:40. | ||
Darlington players train on the outskirts of Durham city today. | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
They were given the go-ahead to start a community interest club, | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
but what does this mean? Keep centres of activity for unemployed | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
young people, a creche, a theatre. You can encompass all of this in a | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
community club. It becomes a football club it comes to the | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
community. It means the club can survive without an individual | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
playing a part. The fate of Darlington Football Club is now in | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
the hands of the managers and players. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
They are looking to model themselves on Spanish teams like | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Real Madrid and Barcelona. They expect to offer what they call | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
"bitesize chunks" that are affordable for ordinary supporters. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
But a reported �500,000 is needed before the end of the season. Craig | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Liddle's optimism is laced with caution. I think it sounds good, | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
but we are not getting too carried away. The last few weeks have been | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
aimed roller-coaster. Until it is all done, we will not get carried | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
away. Advice is being sought from Supporters Direct, an independent | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
body that helps communities run their own sports clubs. We have got | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
AFC Wimbledon it back and the Football League, we have got Exeter | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
City End League One, we also have Wrexham have recently taken over by | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
the fans. You only have to look to Germany where many clubs are owned | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
by the fans to show it can be a successful model. The for Bob Crow | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
believe they have achieved their aim of stopping the club going bust. | :08:24. | :08:34. | |
:08:34. | :08:34. | ||
Now, they will meet in this hotel tonight to plan the future. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
If you were given the choice between a small wind farm on your | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
doorstep or a large one, which one would you go for? The people in | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Northumberland want the large one because the development could kick- | :08:47. | :08:57. | |
:08:57. | :08:57. | ||
start a large leisure complex, which promises to create 800 jobs. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
They have had the scars of opencast the years, they have had foot-and- | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
mouth burial site, so the last thing the people would want is a | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
wind farm. But what did that when farm brought with it a golf Carles, | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
Holiday Village, hotel, even an Olympic-sized swimming-pool? It is | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
:09:32. | :09:33. | ||
called the blue sky project. It is definitely blue sky, and we have | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
been working on this for over 10 years. It has been a hard slog, but | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
we have committed developers on board who are putting money into | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
the planning and developing of the project. It is growing. We are very | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
pleased with the way things have gone. The key to that development | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
is a wind farm off 13 up turbines proposed by a company, because it | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
would build all the roads and put in all the services, which the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
developers would like before this dark spending money. Jobs could | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
follow. But another company, which wants to build four turbines, could | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
get planning permission first. are keen that the local authority | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
make a decision on the adjacent wind farm with the information | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
available, including the planning application we have submitted. It | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
does not mean that both can't move forward. The County Council says it | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
will not prejudge the schemes, and that all applications are judged on | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
their own it merits. People living in one of the | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
remotest valleys in the Lake District are facing another two | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
months without electricity. 11 properties in the tiny community of | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Wasdale have been cut off since Christmas Eve. A section of cable | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
at the bottom of Wastwater needs replacing and Electricity North | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
West says it won't be fixed until Easter. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
According to new figures, more than 11 people die every day from | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
smoking-related diseases in the North East. The statistics, from | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
anti-smoking agency Fresh, show that nearly one in five deaths in | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
adults over 35 is due to smoking. That's more than 4,200 people in | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
:11:30. | :11:33. | ||
the North East every year. A World War Two glider is being restored at | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
the regimental museum in Carlisle Castle. It is thought the glider | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
was used to carry Border Regiment troops into Sicily. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
Damien has been to meet the man who has tried put it back together. | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
Nearly 14,000 gliders were built during World War Two, and carried | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
troops into battle. Made from metal and plywood, and covered in fabric, | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
in the post war years the box they were shipped in it was worth more | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
than the glider itself. This lump of steel was discovered in a field. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
After the war, when the timber was rationed, this thing came up packed | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
in five huge crates, bearing in mind there had a wingspan of 84 | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
feet. The farmers used to buy these things, and through the glider in | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
the field and use the timber around the farm because it was rash and. | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
This is a side of the glider. The entrance was here. This was the | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
:12:57. | :13:00. | ||
wheel, and this was the win support. -- the wing to support. And apply a | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
wood. Very brave indeed! During the war, this space here would have | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
been occupied by 15 men, or four men and a Jeep. Flying through the | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
air, being shot that bite the Germans with no protection at all. | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
-- with no protection. You're watching Look North. Still | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
to come: A Dickens of a tale from Colin Briggs, and Dawn has all the | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
goals from last night's football. Plus: Is it too late to hibernate? | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:47. | ||
This hedgehog needs to wrap up warm Very cold temperatures. I will be | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
back with all the details. Next Tuesday is the two hundredth | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
anniversary of the birth of one of our greatest novelists, Charles | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
Dickens. The BBC has already mark the bicentenary with a new TV | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
adaptations. This autumn, the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle will present a | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
lavish stage production of his ghost stories. Dickens had strong | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:27. | ||
links with the North, as Colin The one-man show - a stand-up | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
comedians sell-out arenas, thousands come to see them. But an | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
author? One man, alone on stage, one man, just reading extracts from | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
his books. That is what Dickens did, and he packed them in. | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
The venue was the city's premise it -- premier music hall. I don't know | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
about bringing the house down, he needed brought it -- burned it down | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
when he started a fire. A woman screamed but Dickens kept his cool. | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
He said it, please, please, sit down. We will fix it. She sat down | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
and they all applauded him. He stood with his hands in his pockets | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
and said that he was so frightened that if he turned his back, they | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
would all flee. When he played Newcastle, Dickens | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
stayed here at the Royal Station Hotel. | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
He liked his entourage to stay with him. If he had a big group of | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
people, they could not or stay at his friends' houses, but he did | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
tend to stay with in a hotel where he could have a bit of privacy, and | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
he had the opportunity to learn his words and to practise and to | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:54. | ||
He was an inveterate wanderer, always looking for stories. A | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
stroll to the quayside reveal details -- telephone and | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
traumatised by the loss of two sons at sea and moved by tales of | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
unidentified bodies being plucked from the river. | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
He said that in any body found a body in the River Tyne and did not | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
have any identification, the body would be pulled out and the person | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
would get a guinea. Dickens's her the story and he | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
liked it and used it as a basis for one of his stories, our Mutual | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Friend. In the town, pubs like the old | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
George provided rich pickings. This tale involves the artist and Ralph | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
Headley forced up wrath was walking down the row off Headley. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
A stranger stopped him and said stop, let them fight on. They are | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
British boys fighting in a British fashion. If you stop them, they | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
will go away and fight again. If you let them fight, they will end | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
up being pals afterwards. The pair exchanged cards. It was | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
not until he got home that he realised that the stranger was in | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
fact the country's best-selling author. Dickens never missed a | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
chance to add to his gallery of characters. They rang true because | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
they were largely taken from real life. Polished, modified, slyly, | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
but real people with real quirks and real personalities. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
As Dickens completed his last tour of the region, so the theatre was | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
finished off. He never made it back here, but if he had, the draw would | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
:17:48. | :17:50. | ||
have been irresistible. And what a Just fascinating. Colin's died, Pat | :17:50. | :18:00. | |

Lowery, will be leading a series of There's just 176 days to go until | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
the Olympics. But will the 2012 London Gazeley a sporting legacy | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
for young people in the North? The likes of Steve Cram, Alison | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
Curbishley and Sally Gunnell hope so. They launched the Olympic | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
challenge for children in Newcastle this morning, culminating in the | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
country's biggest ever school sports event at this summer. | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
:18:34. | :18:35. | ||
It is not about the winning. Thankfully! Unit there. -- you | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
missed there. It is not to do for a professional | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
player. But it is all good fun. Referee! I will make the next one. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Today is about taking part, and that is one of the things we are | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
trying to show the kids. We are kicking -- keeping them active. | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
7,000 children have signed up for the Schools 500 Challenge, which | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
involve competing in all sorts of sports at every level. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
We have tried to use the Olympics to enhance all areas of learning, | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
not just through sports participation. We are also trying | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
to use the Olympics to provide a true legacy for the children in | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Newcastle's cause. I really do like football. I am | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
excited about it. It has been really fun and everything. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
Did you shoot a hoop? Know. But I did try. It gives children a chance | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
to go and get fit and have fun instead of being stuck in a | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
classroom all day. It is cool. I like the Olympics and I watch it | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
every year. And who knows, rubbing shoulders | :19:53. | :20:03. | |
:20:03. | :20:06. | ||
with the likes of Sally Gunnell And it is time for sport now. A | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
good night last night for all three of our clubs. | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Yes, seven points from a possible nine for our top three. For | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Sunderland and Newcastle it meant a jump up the Premier League table - | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
and the Magpies are back in the defeats and without a number of | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
first team regulars, the pressure was on to bounce back at Ewood Park. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Often an unsung hero, Ryan Taylor stepped up to the plate once again, | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
firing in a long-range shot that deflected in off Scott Dann to give | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
United the lead. Blackburn had their chances, but a questionable | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
penalty decision saw Tim Krul more than equal to David Dunn's effort | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
from the spot and the subsequent return. Blackburn's hopes of | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
getting anything from the game ended when Newcastle's often | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
maligned winger Gabriel Obertan, on as a substitute, kept his composure | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
to see off Rovers with a clinical finish in stoppage time, scoring | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
his first Premier League goal and taking United up to fifth in the | :20:55. | :21:05. | |

It was a big goal for him, because our fans, for them, he needs to | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
grow. For them, the goal will have helped. We need to stay there, and | :21:12. | :21:21. | |
we can. There's no reason we can't eighth after ending Norwich's six | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
match unbeaten run in style. After scoring a peach of a goal in the FA | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Cup at the weekend, Frazier Campbell fired in the opener on his | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
first start for the Black Cats in 17 months. Sunderland, who've | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
discovered a new-found confidence under Martin O'Neill, then conjured | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
up a magnificent second, Campbell this time turning provider for the | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
impressive Stephane Sessegnon to head home. After the interval | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
another quick break from Sunderland ensured it would be a long trip | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
home for the travelling Norwich fans when Phil Bardsley's cross | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
went in off Daniel Ayala's knee to make it three. Wayne Bridge got his | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
debut eight minutes from the end, but it was another night to | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
:22:00. | :22:00. | ||
It is great for him. He is obviously tired at the end of the | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
game. If anybody deserves some luck along the way, it is him. | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
Middlesbrough's injury list is getting longer. They'll be without | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
striker Scott McDonald for up to two months after he limped off with | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
a knee injury in last night's draw at Leicester. But not before the | :22:17. | :22:27. | |
:22:27. | :22:31. | ||
Aussie hitman got Boro back on by surprise here. But 10 minutes | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
later, they were back in the game, Scott McDonald knocking in the | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
corner from a yard out. A half-time row with the referee saw Pearce and | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
sent to the stands. But there could be no disagreement over the second | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
goal, a superbly taken free-kick. But just as borage -- Barry Robson | :22:52. | :23:02. | |

did at the weekend, he returned to You might have heard me and the | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
beginning there say that they were our top three Premier clubs. There | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
are only two. Now the weather. We are expecting | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
80 forecast, which is bad news for these guys. The mild weather has | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
fooled many hedgehogs and they have decided not to hibernate. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
A severe cold snap has been predicted, but because it has been | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
one of the mildest winters on record, hedgehogs have not been | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
hibernating. So with the big freeze setting in and areas of | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Northumberland already covered in snow, a Charles like Daisy just | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
:23:59. | :24:00. | ||
don't have the body fat to survive. The hedgehogs to come here receive | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
food, shelter and a warm bed. They also get a brand new social circle. | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
Carol is the find of the rescue Trust, and she has this advice for | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
anybody who finds an unexpected guest. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
If you see what looks like a very small hedgehog, the best thing to | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
do is bring it in, weighed on some scales, and it is less than 500 | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
grams, it needs help. So there you have it. Where there's | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
It seems like a good idea to hibernate for the whole of winter. | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
I think I could do it! Are you going to give us the worst | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
in the forecast now? Yes, we are. A real thrust on the way tonight. | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
It was the coldest day of the It has been much colder than | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
January or December. This is how cold it was first thing this | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
:25:16. | :25:17. | ||
morning. The coldest spot was minus nine degrees. Cumbria is the very | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
cold us, but North Yorkshire and the North East are also sub-zero | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
first thing today. It is another cold night and day to come. This is | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
the picture for this evening. Clear for much of North Yorkshire and the | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
North East. A bit cloudy at times, but everywhere the map is blue with | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
cold. The temperatures by dawn will be around minus five in countryside | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
spots. Sub-zero, though, even in towns and cities. We are going to | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
be scraping the car windscreens. The best of tomorrow's sunshine is | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
likely to be in North Yorkshire and the North East. A bit cloudier in | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
the West. The West has had the best of the week's weather so far. It | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
will not tomorrow. It will be brightest in the east. Top | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
temperatures, though, low, at around minus two Celsius. A bit | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
higher in the West. Light winds everywhere tomorrow. Mostly they | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
will blow from the south or south- west. A bitter end to Friday. It is | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
frosty at first and clear overnight. But the weather is set to change | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
from Saturday onwards. The Met Office has already issued a yellow | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
weather warning for Saturday. We are expecting a wintry mix of snow, | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
sleet and rain fall across not Yorkshire, the north-east and | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
Cumbria. That will come in from the West through Saturday lunchtime, | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
and it could cause some tricky conditions for the region's roads. | :26:47. | :26:56. | |
The Met Office warns of up to five centimetres of snow. Sunday, though, | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
is likely to be brighter. By the end of the day, it could be less | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
smelly. If you are going somewhere in the morning, the conditions | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
could be tricky. By the end of the day, it will be bright and a tiny | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
bit milder. If you are out with the cameras, this is the address to | :27:16. | :27:20. |
