Welcome to Friday's Look North. In tonight's headlines... | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
"I" of the storm. Controversy as councillors in North Yorkshire vote | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
to give themselves iPads. Inside one of the largest cannabis | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
farms ever found in the North. Faith in the future. This man has | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
bought the home of the Bishops of Durham. Now he plans to make it a | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
major tourist attraction. And there's only one St James's. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
But it is not in Newcastle. And the club that plays at this more modest | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
ground is after the famous sign. Away from the name changing and | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
name calling, we look ahead to the best of the weekend sports action. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
And we turn the clock back 20 years to the African tour which warmed | :00:44. | :00:54. | |

Durham up for their first cricket Here is a vote that has just come | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
in. 37 in favour. 67,000 against. Councillors in Scarborough have | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
voted tonight to give themselves iPads. That is despite a poll by | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
the town's newspaper that showed overwhelming public opposition to | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
the plan. Although the newspaper poll was not scientific, the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
response from the public was unlike anything the newspaper has seen | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
before. Since their launch nearly two years | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
ago, iPads have sold in their millions, becoming a must-have for | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
many, with multiple functions. The year -- their usefulness has been | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
noticed by Scarborough council. One councillor urged fellow councillors | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
to support a plan to give themselves the gadget, paid for by | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
the public purse. The council estimates this could save thousands | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
per year, because paper could be sent electronically rather than | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
printed and posted. But in these austere times, the proposal has | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
proved controversial. Scarborough's local paper, the Evening News, | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
carried out a survey with staggering results. 67,000 people | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
responded, extraordinary for this town. Just 44 were in favour. It | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
means that 99.9% of responses were against the idea. I should point | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
out that this iPad is my own, what with private money. One of eight | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
councillors to vote against his this woman, using her own computer | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Borough Council business. Other councillors have council laptops. | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
She believes those are adequate. The iPad, in her opinion, is too | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
far. Public money should not be used in this way. We either have | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
our on computers or a laptop from the council. This is all over | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
indulgent. If we want them, we can buy them. I think this is an | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
excessive waste of money. There are other things this could be spent on. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
The councillors already have laptops and I think it is a step | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
too far. We need the money for other things. It is a good idea, | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
going with the times. Everyone else has them. In the same meeting, | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
there were budget cuts of �2.2 million voted upon with no council | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
tax rise. There were also calls for councillors to make a donation to | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
their iPads. If the newspaper report is a good indication of | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
feeling, that is likely to not be popular. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
The building was so dangerous, it took two days before police | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
officers could safely enter. And when inside, detectives discovered | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
one of the largest cannabis farms ever found in the North. More than | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
a thousand plants valued at about �200,000 were discovered in the | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
industrial unit at Haltwhistle in Northumberland. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
From the outside, it looked like a rundown industrial unit. Inside | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
there was a sophisticated and professional cannabis farm. More | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
than 1,150 plants on three levels. 750 had flowering heads, making | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
them more valuable. Northumbria Police, who discovered the drugs | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
after a tip off from a member of the public, estimate their value to | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
be more than �200,000. But the building on the Hadrian Enterprise | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Park in Haltwhistle was unsafe. There was asbestos, bare live wires | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
and running water. Sections of the roof and floors were dangerous. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
There were three levels in an industrial unit of cannabis plants. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
It was dangerous, we had to make the gas and electricity supply safe | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
and the building was also unsafe to enter initially. It took dedicated | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
search teams two days to look in the premises. Most of the equipment | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
and plants have been destroyed, although some have been kept for | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
forensic evidence and potential court proceedings. Detectives are | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
confident arrests will be made soon. This is one of the largest cannabis | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
farms officers working on this case have Abba found in the Northumbria | :05:17. | :05:27. | |

The redevelopment of Auckland Castle, historic home of the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
Bishops of Durham, will transform Bishop Auckland. That is the claim | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
of the philanthropist who saved the castle's 17th-century Zurbaran | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
paintings and the castle from being sold off. Now he wants to develop | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the site as a tourist attraction, bringing hundreds of thousands of | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
visitors. Thanks to Jonathan Ruffer spending | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
�15 million, the famous paintings of Old Testament characters by the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Spanish artist Zurbaran are staying in Auckland Castle. The cash- | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
strapped church commissioners had wanted to sell them off. But the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
millionaire investment manager has also bought the castle, home of the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Bishops of Durham for the last 900 years. It will become a tourist | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
attraction telling the story of Christianity in Britain, as well as | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
the history of the castle. Money and jobs could follow. And actually, | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
what we want to have his apprenticeships, so that the work | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
is done will be done by people learning how to do it. We would | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
like to be involved in the Prince's Trust in that. And certainly, | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
Bishop Auckland, if Auckland Castle becomes a major visitor attraction, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
which I eat in very much intend that it will, it will transform | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
butchered Auckland. -- which I very much intend. Rowena Hackwood runs | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
the trust overseeing the project and charged with raising funds. But | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
how popular will a Christian-based attraction be in an ever more | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
secular society? The real challenge is to think about how to make | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Auckland Castle a great day out, not just for people interested in | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
architecture or work in the history at the castle has to tell, or the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
exhibitions it may have, we would certainly want to do things like | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
walking with the dish -- working with the British Library to bring | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
manuscripts together here. But the cost of realising those plans, | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
opening up the castle and the park, will be expensive. It will cost | :07:32. | :07:42. | |

Health bosses in Hartlepool have been criticised for charging | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
disabled war veterans to park at hospitals, but not disabled people | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
on benefits. Derek Hall from Wingate suffers from several | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
conditions after working as a surgeon during the first Gulf War. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
The changes were introduced at the University Hospital of Hartlepool | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
at the start of the year as part of essential cost saving measures. But | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Derek says he is angry war veterans are being treated with such a lack | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
of respect. I just feel that, in an age when the Prime Minister is | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
currently making a lot of statements referencing the need to | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
treat service veterans better with respect to health, education, | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
housing and so on, that this was an evil way of treating service | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
veterans. The North Tees and Hartlepool NHS | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Foundation Trust has now apologised to Mr Hall and promised to review | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
its parking provision. Traders in West Cumbria are hoping | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
to get their hands on up to �100,000 of government money to | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
revive their high streets in the style recommended by Mary Portas. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
The shopping expert produced a report for the government. It said | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
town centres need to be reinvented with cheaper parking, open-air | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
markets and fewer regulations. Retailers in Maryport want to be | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
one of the 12 towns to win the competition. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
Maryport in West Cumbria. With its maritime history and Roman Heritage, | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the town has plenty to offer tourists. But the high street has | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
seen better days. We used to have various clothes shops, lots of | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
bakers, individual because, newsagents, which we still half. | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
Woolworths, all of being replaced by a charity shops. Or the shops | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
are empty. One surviving specialist says it is more than just | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
appearances. We needed back to when people had much to spend. | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
upturned will not happen fast, so the town is bidding for money after | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
a scheme suggested by Mary Portas to help revive high streets. | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
will be fantastic to win this. We need it, and it would really work. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
The figures make it clear that something needs to be done. In | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Maryport, almost a third of all shops are empty, making it one of | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
the worst-performing high streets in Cumbria. In the North East, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Stockton is also faring badly, with over a quarter of its shops | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
standing empty. And the picture is only slightly better in Sunderland | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
and Gateshead. The loss of national chains has led to better times on | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
the high street. -- bitter times. Only this week, four Peacocks | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
stores in Cumbria closed down. So for small traders like Debbie, | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
winning Mary Portas' support for Maryport Would be small consolation. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
And MPs will be discussing what can be done about our high streets on | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
this weekend's Sunday Politics at noon on BBC One. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
She will not be walking down that famous red carpet. But a former | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
nurse will be watching this weekend's Oscars ceremony closer | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
than most. A film that she worked on is up for an Academy Award. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
Carol Grayson from Newcastle became a prominent campaigner for victims | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
of infected blood transfusions after her husband and his brother | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
both died. Her struggle was one of the reasons why she became | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
executive film producer on the documentary Incident in New Baghdad. | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
Nurse, HIV activist, and now producer of an Oscar-nominated film. | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Carol Grayson lost her husband Peter Longstaff and her step- | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
brother Stephen to HIV. Both were haemophiliacs infected by HIV- | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
contaminated blood transfusions. She says she saw similarities in | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
her fight for justice and the film's anti-war sentiments. I lost | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
my husband and my husband was, in a sense, collateral damage, because | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
he lost his life because of Government incompetence. The film | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
:12:06. | :12:07. | ||
is about collateral damage. I had a lot of empathy. She helped fund the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
film, about a US helicopter attack of Iraq civilians, with �3,000 she | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
received from the government for Peter's death. I thought I might as | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
well do something useful with some of this. And, in a sense, it gave | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
me great satisfaction, because I was using Government money, so they | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
were inadvertently finding a film that is actually very strongly | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
anti-war. Carol will not be going to the Oscars. She says she cannot | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
afford the trip. But she does believe her husband would be | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
rooting for the film's success. would be delighted. I think he | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
would be surprised. He would expect me to carry on campaigning, but it | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
would put his limits and beliefs in what I might achieve to the test. I | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
:13:03. | :13:05. | ||
think he would be very, very Now we all have different ways of | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
saying thank you. Some say it with flowers or chocolates. But one | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Tyneside dad is going to extreme lengths to express his gratitude to | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
all the nurses and doctors who have been looking after his daughter in | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
hospital. Dave Gullane from North Shields is about to tramp 379 miles | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
across a frozen Siberian lake. And he will be raising thousands of | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
pounds for the Children's Foundation Great North Children's | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Hospital along the way. Jim Knight has been to meet him and his | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
daughter Emily. A rare break from training for Dave | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
and a chance to catch up with some quality time with Emily. Emily was | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
born with an extremely rare condition called cloacal anomaly. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
It has meant, just in the first six years of her life, she has already | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
had to endure all manner of hospital operations and procedures. | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
We owe and insurmountable a mite of banks to the hospital. Myself and | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
my family will always be in debt to them. Dave is a man of action. Not | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
one to shirk a challenge. A Lance Corporal in the Territorial Army, | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
he has already served two tours in Afghanistan. To all the staff who | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
have helped Emily, he knew he wanted to make a grand gesture of | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
thanks. And through a fundraising website, he would raise some money | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
for the Foundation and the children's hospital in the process. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
So most days, this is where you will find Dave. Building up his | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
stamina, ready for that fearsome Siberian marathon next month. It is | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
pretty bracing on the beach here, but nothing compared to the | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
temperatures he will ensure on that Siberian Lake. Temperatures of | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
minus 40 at night and winds of up to 100 miles per hour. So this is a | :14:49. | :14:58. | |
piece of cake. Do you think your father can run 379 miles? Yes. | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Hopefully I will get through it with the determination that Emily | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
has shown. I can take that away and come out smiling. Do you think it | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
:15:19. | :15:26. | ||
will be an adventure? Yes. Would When work men Crowbarred the St | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
James' Park sign off the wall outside Newcastle United's ground, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
it caused outrage among the fans. But another football club in the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
region saw it as an opportunity, both to save the iconic sign and to | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
give their own ground which shares the name an update. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
So Alnwick Town put in a cheeky bid for it, United said no, but the | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:55. | ||
tale has a happy ending. And the North East, if you want to watch | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
football at St James' Park, there is one place to go off. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
The Northern League club has a long and proud history dating back to | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
1879, long before Newcastle United. It has spent thousands upgrading | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
its ground and when its chairman saw this happening, he saw it as a | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
chance to upgrade it a little bit more. I thought, I have just the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
place where I could put that sign, outside hour ground. We will give | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
it a good home. Wind it rather than a line in the storage room or a | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
scrap heap, which would have been a shame, we would put it there. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
But the Newcastle turned down the request, saying while it was a nice | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
idea, it planned to keep the sign in storage. I can understand. It | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
was such a controversial move, that I did not want to come across as a | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
pest. But after hearing the story on BBC | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Newcastle, a couple of local lads offered to make one for them and | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
this afternoon just 24 hours later it arrived. A it is absolutely | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
great. Fantastic. Would a big cash sponsorship deal | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
ever persuade him to change the name of Alnwich St James' Park? | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
would not dream of it. Maybe my cash layers wishing he had not | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
Over at what used to be called St James' Park, Newcastle play their | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
last Saturday afternoon game for about six weeks, so make the most | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
of it! In fact, it is the North East | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
against the West Midlands this weekend, as Sunderland go to West | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
Bromwich Albion, while the Magpies are at home to Wolves. | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Alan Pardew has already said he hopes the row over the renaming of | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
the ground does not distract from the job in hand, which is pushing | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
for a European place. Last time out, the Magpies were | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
hammered 5-0 by Tottenham. But they have been strong in front of their | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
own fans and both Chelsea and Arsenal have hit a bit of a wobble. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
A Champions League spot is not beyond them. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
You will not catch the manager saying that, but you will hear it | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
from someone who has been there and done it. It would be a disaster if | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
they did not do it now. They have just got to keep the concentration. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
By sold well as against West Brom and they were absolutely terrible. | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
There cannot be better time to be playing them. It is not the finish | :18:31. | :18:39. | |
of the season. We have still got games that we have to win. Okay, we | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
had a bad game against Tottenham, but I am determined to prove that | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
we will not get worse. Wolves assistant boss Terry Connor | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
is in charge for the rest of the season, following the sacking of | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
former Sunderland manager Mick McCarthy. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
The Black Cats' current chief Martin O'Neill has expressed his | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
dismay at the departure of Niall Quinn. The former chairman, who | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
left the club earlier this week, had played a major role in luring | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
O'Neill to the Stadium of Light. am very disappointed that he has | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
decided to go at this stage. From my own point of view, I still | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
thought he had a lot of work to do here. But people should not forget | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:29. | ||
what he did for this club. I am hoping that when he gets the time | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
he will come back here and he is or be so held in great esteem by | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
people here, including myself. Now here is a little challenge for | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
you. The first four celebrities may be tricky if you are under 30, but | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
older viewers will fondly remember Hank the lead guitarist, Lee the | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
hard man actor, boxing great Hagler and soul legend Gaye. Then there is | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Dutchman Emnes, the Middlesbrough footballer. What have they all got | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
in common? They're all called "Marvellous Marvin"! Mark Tulip | :19:52. | :20:02. | |
:20:02. | :20:11. | ||
He really was "Marvellous" Marvin Emnes in the early weeks of the | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
season. Eight league and cup goals by mid-September. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
They dried up a bit after that, but three goals in the last two matches | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
have suggested a storming finish to the season for the Flying Dutchman, | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
:20:31. | :20:34. | ||
who eventually put Millwall to the but I thought we would get other | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:50. | ||
chances, as we were playing so well. It was a good feeling. I was going | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
to say he is very much a confidence player, but all footballers are | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
confidence players. But I think he is very much in that moored at the | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
moment. With promotion rivals Reading at | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
the Riverside tomorrow, a repeat showing from Emnes would be welcome | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
:21:16. | :21:17. | ||
both on Teesside - and back home in People are always asking me how I'm | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
getting on in English football in telling me to keep going. But we | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
just need to keep winning here. Hopefully, we can make it into the | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Premier League. Elsewhere tomorrow, Carlisle could | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
climb back into a League One play- off spot if they beat Yeovil at | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Brunton Park. And Hartlepool could also move up | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
the table. They are away at the bottom club Wycombe. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Outside the League, we have got plenty of interest in the FA Trophy. | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Two of our teams are in tomorrow's quarterfinals. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
York are at Grimsby, while Gateshead go to Luton. Coverage of | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
all those games on your BBC local radio stations. | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Durham's cricketers are to play in a 20/20 tournament in Dubai next | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
month, alongside teams from the MCC, Lancashire and Sussex. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
But it was actually 20 years ago this month, that they went on their | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
first foreign tour. For the whole of February 1992, the | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
:22:20. | :22:26. | ||
county warmed up in the heat of It was a journey into the unknown, | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
in more ways than one. Two months before they were due to | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
become the first team in 70 years to step up from minor counties to | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
first-class cricket, Durham jetted off to Zimbabwe. Four weeks of | :22:38. | :22:47. | |
almost non-stop action - on and off the field. It was the excitement | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
everybody had. We were very keen to get Durham off to a good start. The | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
general amnesty and there was created on the tour, between the | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
players and the supporters, gave us a real feel of excitement about | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
what was in store for everybody. It was a strange cocktail of talent. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Young lads, fresh out of the local leagues, rubbing shoulders with | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
Test players, like Paul Parker and Wayne Larkins. That was one of the | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
big hurdles they came across. Once things got on, we lost these two | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
guys, and we had to replace them. But the likes of Ian Botham came in. | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
But it became a whole new adventure for them and it was a tough thing, | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
and I think that's why Durham help to get through that transition | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
period so well. And with the help of Geoff Cook, | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
one of the survivors from the tour of '92, Durham are now a major | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
force in English cricket, with a international stadium to match. | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
Could anyone have expected that? Certainly not. It was incredible | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
vision and incredible ambition. To Katie Durham team and then to | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
create opportunities for young people from Durham. All these | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
things have been achieved. It really is an amazing success | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:53. | ||
story. And it all came out of My all movies! No pressure on poll, | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
:25:03. | :25:06. | ||
but I need some good news in the If you were out and about yesterday, | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
you might have seen these beautiful sky ease. It is caused by the | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
:25:24. | :25:24. | ||
sunlight day for acting through the cloud. No, you can see some other | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
clouds in the second shot today. This beautiful photo of the spring | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
crocus. Now, for the weekend, most of us should enjoy some dry weather | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
and some bright spells. This evening and through the night, it | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
will stay dry, with the odd bit of patchy cloud. There is a brisk | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
north to north-westerly breeze and that is keeping it temperatures | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
down overnight. But the temperatures will remain above | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
freezing for all parts. A better than that in the air first thing | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
and as I said, and nice day for many of us tomorrow, with the odd | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
bit of cloud around. Most places should stay dry, with temperatures | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
between 7 and 10 degrees Celsius. The further east you are, the | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
better the temperature. If you're out and about, it will feel cool, | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
so make sure you are wrapped up. As we head into the next few days, you | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
can see this front coming in across the Atlantic, of which will bring a | :26:48. | :26:57. | |
more that of rain for the start of the working week. But we should not | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
is the significant increase in the temperatures to go along with that | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
next week. He is the outlet, as I said most places bone dry on | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
Saturday, with it clouding of a slightly more on Sunday, with the | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
odd sprinkle of rain. Into Monday and Tuesday, that front will bring | :27:19. | :27:23. |
