weather on the way. That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
from me, and on Hello, and welcome to Thursday's | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Look North: Fire engines saved, but bus subsidies cut, and new parking | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
charges introduced, as Cumbria strives to save ?24 million. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
Also, the north's charities say they are being hit by spending cuts, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
while demand for their services is going up. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Staying safe while out on the town. Students are warned about the | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
dangers of drink, as the search for Megan Roberts goes on. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
And, the extraordinary link between a 104`year`old woman from County | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Durham, and Canada's worst mining disaster. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
In sport, we meet the England cricketer hoping to help his side to | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
the world number one spot! And, out of the bottom three for the | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
first time since August. Next up for the Black Cats, the Tyne`Wear derby. | :00:50. | :01:02. | |
First tonight: Fire engines will be saved. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
But bus subsidies will be cut, and on`street parking charges introduced | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
later in the year. That's how Cumbria County Council will shave | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
more than ?24 million from its budget. Campaigners have welcomed | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
the news that controversial plans to axe fire engines have been dropped. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
But there's disappointment that other unpopular measures will go | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
ahead. Alison Freeman is live for us in Penrith tonight. Alison. | :01:26. | :01:39. | |
I am here at the headquarters of the Fire and Rescue Service where that | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
one bit of good news from the magic `` budget meeting has been welcomed. | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
But the chief executive said it was facing the worst financial | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
circumstances it had ever, reflected with only one major climb`down at | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
that budget cuts meeting. They'd shouted loudly. And it | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
appears their voices were heard. Today, the county council's Cabinet | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
did away with plans to remove five second fire engines from stations | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
across Cumbria. It is wonderful to hear they are | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
keeping the second pump at Penrith, and in a big, wide geographical | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
area, two pumps are required at most times for the safety of the public. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
I feel very relieved. It controversial proposition and the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
people have let us know they were very worried. Having been able to | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
save those pumps and make savings from the management structure is | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
dead is a good outcome. Not all those opposing planned cuts were as | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
lucky. ?300,000 was found to briefly hold back on the introduction of on | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
street parking charges until autumn. Not even the cost, the logistics | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
which make shopping in town difficult and drive people out. That | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
will be bad for Cumbria. Another ?1 million was found to slowly reduce | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
subsidised bus routes. The aim is to give communities and bus firms time | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
to see if they can run certain routes themselves. It is | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
disappointing. The principle has been accepted, that the county | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
council does not have a moral response ability to support a bit | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
transport used by disadvantaged people. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
The over`16s still lost out, their bus travel to school will not be | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
subsidised from September. Alison, there are still a lot of | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
unhappy people in Cumbria. What happens next? | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
There still has to be approval by the full council on February the | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
13th. This is all about the cuts in the coming year. The year after, the | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
council has to save a further ?35 million, and another ?30 million | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
after that. The council said its aim was to make these cuts while still | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
protecting the most vulnerable members of society. There will be | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
people in rural areas who rely on those subsidised bus services who | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
will be questioning whether they have achieved that. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Tomorrow, the Leader of Cumbria County Council, Councillor Stewart | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Young, is in the hot seat on BBC Radio Cumbria from 11.30am. If you | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
have a question you'd like to ask him, get in touch by emailing it to | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
[email protected]. Meanwhile, the Labour Party is | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
claiming that the most deprived areas of the country will see the | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
biggest cuts to council spending per household. It's carried out research | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
which suggests that, from 2010 up to 2016, councils in the ten most | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
deprived areas will see the amount of money they spend cut by 25%. For | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
the ten most affluent areas, the dip's estimated at 2.5%. Labour says | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Newcastle City Council's spending power will be cut by 21% per | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
household. While spending for Wokingham in Berkshire, one of the | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
most affluent areas in the country, will fall by 1%. The government say | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
councils facing the highest demand for services continue to receive | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
substantially more funding to spend on their residents. | :05:18. | :05:29. | |
Charities here in the north are being hit by spending cuts, while | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
demand for their services has increased, according to new | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
research. A survey of nearly 200 charities found almost | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
them had been affected financially over the last 18 months. But the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
government says it'll be giving charities nearly ?500 million over | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the next two years. Our business correspondent Ian Reeve reports. | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
This is Zoe's Place. A hospice on Teesside. It gives palliative, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
respite and end`of`life care to children from birth to five years | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
old. With 30 families on the charity's books, it's an expensive | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
business. It costs ?1.1 million a year to run. Finding it is tough. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Since the recession started, we along with other charities were very | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
lucky at the beginning because people are generous. The longer the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
recession went on, the tougher it has been and times are pretty tough | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
for all charities. ?200,000 comes from the Department | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
of Health every year, a government contribution that new research has | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
shown many charities have seen dwindle in the past 18 months. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
In the north east, 30% of charities rely on government funding as their | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
main source of income. But over 60% of those have seen government funds | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
cut. And yet, nearly 60% of north east charities have seen an increase | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
in demand for their services over the past year`and`a`half. This is | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
our sensory room for our children. And some of those services, such as | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
here at Zoe's essential. We have a parent support | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
group every month. Parents get together. We have barbecues in the | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
summer. Evenings out. To support them. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
To try and help charities such as this one, a philanthropic trust, the | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Garfield Weston Foundation, is going to give a handful in the north east | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
access to business mentors. They'll give six charities financial advice. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
An attempt to alleviate any government cuts. The government has | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
acknowledged times are tough for charities, but points out three | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
quarters of them receive no money from the state. Those that do will | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
get ?470 million over the next spending review period of 2015`2016. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
A big figure, no doubt, but here it's still not one that alleviates | :08:00. | :08:00. | |
that constant search for funding. 27 people have now been arrested by | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
police investigating suspected sexual abuse of girls and young | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
women in and around Newcastle. 26 of those arrested to date have now been | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
released on bail. Northumbria Police says the victims in these cases are | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
continuing to be safeguarded. All those arrested so far have been held | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
on suspicion of conspiracy to rape. They'd been on a night out with | :08:22. | :08:33. | |
friends, and were never seen again. Two students in different university | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
cities vanished in similar circumstances. The latest, | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
20`year`old Megan Roberts, is thought to have gone into the River | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Ouse in York in the early hours months after Sope Peters disappeared | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
after an evening out in Durham. As the search for Megan continued | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
today, students have been reflecting on the dangers of drink, and how | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
they can stay safe while out on the town. Our news correspondent Peter | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
Harris has this report. Two students, different cities, one | :08:57. | :09:10. | |
thing in common. After a night out drinking, both vanished, assumed to | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
have gone into the river. American student Sope Peters was found in the | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Wear at Durham before Christmas. Today, the search for missing Megan | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Roberts was continuing in York. At the students' union, Megan's case is | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
cause for reflection on the risks of a night out, especially near city | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
centre rivers. The social wraps were giving out | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
warnings, we need to be sensible tonight, everyone, think about | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
whether it is a good idea to drink as much. I think it has made us very | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
aware of other people's safety as well as your own, looking out your | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
friends, whoever you are with, making sure you're not wondering off | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
or other people aren't wandering away from your group. It is an issue | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
which resonates in this region, with so many students, in Newcastle, | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
Durham and York, many with city Centre Riverside bars. Student | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
leaders say they do their best to keep people safe. We work closely | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
with the clubs and bars in town to make sure students are safe on a | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
night out, what to do when something happens, who they can contact. The | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
dangers posed to young revellers partying near city centre rivers | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
prompted this film, featuring the mother of a man who drowned in the | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
River Ouse three years ago. They said, being `` there had been an | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
incident. Campaigners say Megan's case further | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
highlights the risk of water. The undercurrent is extremely strong. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
The river is six metres at the moment. The flow doesn't look too | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
fast at the moment, but it would take a strong swimmer, a sober | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
swimmer to get themselves out safely. It is not known for sure | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
whether the river has claimed Megan, but nobody expects a happy ending. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
Peter, what's the latest update on the search for Megan tonight? | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
They are still searching, the probability remains that at some | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
point Megan fell into the river. That is the likely probability. The | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
searchers have concentrated with the underwater teams around the bridge. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
The significance is that is the last place CCTV picked up Megan. We have | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
to remember it is a week since she went missing. They have been | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
searching the banks around other bridges. One week on, we have to be | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
realistic about the likelihood of this. That there probably won't be a | :11:52. | :11:52. | |
happy ending. A woman from York who kept snakes in | :11:53. | :12:04. | |
small plastic boxes has been fined by magistrates. Pauline Wallace kept | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
140 snakes at her home and admitted failing to look after them. And | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
causing unnecessary suffering to a dog. The 64`year`old was given a 12 | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
month supervision order, a ?250 fine, and banned from keeping snakes | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
for a year. For as long as we've dug for coal | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
and other resources, part of the price has been mining tragedies. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Here in the north, of course, we reflect on them every so often. But | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
here's one you probably won't have heard of. This year marks the | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
centenary of Canada's worst mining disaster. An explosion in Alberta | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
took the lives of 189 men, in 1914. And there's now just one living | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
offspring of those men left. Gerry Jackson met 104`year`old Lillian | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
Yarrow, in County Durham. It's been a long journey for | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
Lillian. But most of her travelling was done by the time she was five. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
Her parents, John and Sarah, emigrated to the US, then Canada. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
John was a mining engineer, here at Crowsnest Pass in Alberta. In June | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
1914, four`year`old Lillian's life changed forever. | :13:10. | :13:24. | |
It was a lovely day. Lovely, bright, that is the day that it | :13:25. | :13:37. | |
happened. There were so many people to bury that they had six at a time. | :13:38. | :13:50. | |
Nearly half the 189 dead were British emigrants. Canadian | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
researchers hoped to find any direct descendants of them still alive. | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
There's only one. This was, in terms of casualties and the impact on the | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
community, the biggest that has ever happened in Canada. For someone my | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
age, it is extremely hard to wrap my head around that piece of history | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
being so close, someone we can talk to hear, an amazing experience. It | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
brings history a lot closer to home. It is amazing people go to all this | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
trouble to come and find me. It is important that you have some sort of | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
background to link into. It must be very hard not to have that. It has | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
made her feel she is somebody. Lillian's mother brought her back to | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Sacriston in County Durham in 1915. Lillian was just too young to have | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
clear memories of her father. I couldn't say that I had a dad. I | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
wish that he was still here. But he can't. | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
A remarkable lady and a tragic story. | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
If you're fed up of the cold winter weather, how about an Argentine | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
tango or a paso doble to warm you up? The Strictly Come Dancing Live | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Tour is coming to the Newcastle Arena tonight and tomorrow. The | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
celebrity line`up includes the series winner, Abbey Clancy, | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
Dragon's Den star Deborah Meaden, and the Teesside actor Mark Benton. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Two days to go before the big one, the derby match between Newcastle | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
United and Sunderland. At the beginning of the season, we went to | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
Sunderland fans Vic and Lorne Downey, who are grandfather and | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
grandson. And Magpies fan Anthony Nicholson. We asked them why their | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
teams meant so much to them. We've been back to ask them their thoughts | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
about the derby, and for their mid`term report. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
When I fall in love... It will be for ever. | :16:02. | :16:15. | |
It wasn't a good start, was it? The first few games, we couldn't seem to | :16:16. | :16:24. | |
get a win for anything, going to places like Crystal Palace, throwing | :16:25. | :16:25. | |
it away the into it from there, really. Slowly | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
getting there, aren't we? Yes. I mean, the best move, really, was | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
getting rid of powder di Canio. We are comfortable, we probably won't | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
get relegated but that is where it stops. There is no league cup. We | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
have seen smaller teams who have managed to get lucky draws and into | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
the final of tournaments, good luck to them. What hurts is the lack of | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
ambition. Manchester United on their own | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
patch, that was a really special night. I was lucky to be on the | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
pitch at Tottenham. People say it was fortuitous. It was the best | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
individual goalkeeping performance by Tim Crow, magnificent. | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
The defeat at West Brom, 3`0, that was rather poor, wasn't it? | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
Losing to Sunderland in October, highly disappointed. Another new | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
manager. In fairness, they wanted it more than we did. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
If there is a good time to play them, it has got to be now. Starting | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
to look good, we are starting to play good. Whether it is good enough | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
to take on Newcastle... It is a very tense occasion. Form does go out the | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
window. It is hard to call who is the under dog. Even despite league | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
position. And current form. It goes out the window. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
Truthfully, the majority of Newcastle fans of grand people. They | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
support the team, they give it whatever. I think they are a bit | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
like us in one way. You don't get a small crowd of Newcastle fans. You | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
always get a good turnout. Don't you think? Essentially, the North is | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
football fans. The one common thing is we are desperate for success, the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
further and passion with both clubs is incredible. But then the local | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
rivalries says we have got that intense feeling of, disliked would | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
be too strong, but certainly... Do you know how much grief I will get | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
if I keep praising Newcastle fans like this. You are going to have a | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
hard time. What a day it will be. Newcastle | :19:17. | :19:30. | |
will be without their top scorer. Raimi has been banned by the | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
football Association `` Remy. But Johnson has had his appeal upheld so | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
he won't be suspended. What a strange build`up to Saturday | :19:46. | :19:46. | |
lunchtime's Tyne`Wear derby. The Black Cats welcome their fourth | :19:47. | :20:04. | |
January signing today. Last night, there was a narrow victory which saw | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
the Black Cats climb out of the bottom three. The Premier League | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
team with one of the worst home record this season against the side | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
with the worst away record. Something has to give, a classic | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
this was destined never to be. After starting slowly in the last two | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
league games, Sunderland were quickly out of the blocks. Good news | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
for the manager. Things got better when this shot was parried into the | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
path of Adam Johnson who nearly did not start the game. If Gus Poyet | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
does not mind a great escape from relegation, how priceless this goal | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
might prove to be. Few of the summer signings have been a hit on | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
Wearside. One of the exceptions was the goalkeeper who has the knack of | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
being in the right place at the right time. Sunderland haven't | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
always enjoyed the rub of the green this season, | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
always enjoyed the rub of the green doubled the lead, but no wonder Gus | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
Poyet was getting hot under the collar. The home fans were willing | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
on the final whistle. For the moment, there are plenty of reasons | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
to be cheerful. The win was what we needed, it | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
didn't matter how we got it. We got three points, that is all that | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
matters. The night was probably the biggest of our season. I think we | :21:36. | :21:45. | |
are going from strength to strength. Sunderland midfielder Alfred N'Diaye | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
has joined Spanish club Real Betis on loan. | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
The Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is still waiting to see whether Yohan | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Cabaye will be replaced before tomorrow night's transfer deadline. | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
If the Magpies had a bid for 23`year`old Lyon midfielder Clement | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Grenier rejected, just hours before Cabaye completed his big`money | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
switch to Paris St Germain. But why target Grenier? I think he has a | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
tremendous creative technical ability. He is a player Newcastle | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
fans would love to see at the football club. But, you know, he is | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
still not our player. Until he is, I will wax lyrical about him then. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
We will keep you posted. He lost his right foot as a child, | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
but that's never stopped cricket`mad Iain Nairn from excelling at his | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
sport. In March, Ian, from Chester`le`Street, will vice`captain | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
an England side against Pakistan in Dubai. `` Iain. As most of his | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
international team`mates live down south, the majority of his training | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
takes place right on the doorstep. That's where I caught up with him. | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
Iain Nairn's lived and breathed cricket all his life. At just 16 | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
months old, he had his right leg amputated from the ankle down, after | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
the bones in his foot failed to develop properly. But he took it all | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
in his stride. I have never looked back since then. I have never walked | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
on anything except an artificial leg. I am mobile my leg as it is. My | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
parents took the decision to amputate rather than various | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
operations leaving me with a club foot. I had a cricket bat the moment | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
I came out of hospital. In between monthly training sessions at | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
Edgbaston with the rest of the England Physical Disability Squad, | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Ian hooks up with the Northern Universities Students Cricket Club, | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
based at Chester`le`Street, which accommodates local talent not | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
necessarily studying degree courses. Victory over Pakistan in the | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
six`match series would mean England taking the world number one spot, | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
sadly, by default. Pakistan are the only other cricket board recognising | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
their physically disabled team as an international side. The ECB is | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
trying to get the rest of the world involved. We hope to take advantage | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
of that in Australia and the West Indies and take that on and get over | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
there and see the world while playing the sport I love. | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
Opening batsman Iain, a former Durham Under`19s player who now | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
plays league cricket on Tyneside, runs his own insolvency practice. | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
He's a good example of England's glass half`full mentality. We are | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
all minded to get on with it. Most of us have taken the opportunity is | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
given to us, as opposed to being concerned about the disabilities we | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
have come to focus on our ability and what we can do. | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
A terrific moment. Time now for the weather, with Paul. | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
We have been lucky with the rain. Not as bad in the north. But the | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
rain has never been that far away. It seems appropriate we start off | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
with this shot of raindrops on the lens on the Co Durham coast. The | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
outlook for the next few days, tomorrow, wet and windy weather from | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
the West with hailstones. Saturday, gale force winds and blustery | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
showers. It quietened down temporarily on Sunday. As we head | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
through this evening, a few showers around. Some sleet and snow over | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
high ground. Many places will have a largely dry night. It could be cold | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
enough for Frost, down 2`1dC. Maybe one or two missed all fog patches. A | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
cold start to tomorrow, one of two showers in the East first thing. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Generally, a dry start. By midday, this band of rain comes in from the | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
West, working across Cumbria and through the region. Over high | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
ground, it will turn to sleet and snow. It could linger over the North | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
Pennines through the afternoon. Temperatures will struggle up to six | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
Celsius at best. As well as rain and hill snow, some strong, dusty, | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
easterly winds. That is the picture for tomorrow, this weather system | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
bringing the weather. Saturday, this low system brings in blustery | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
showers. Quieter for Sunday before the next frontal system comes in on | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
Monday. If you are out and about, west of the Pennines, heavy rain | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
with snow, blustery showers, not many gaps between those on | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
Saturday. A spring tide around midday, gusty winds on Saturday, we | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
expect some coastal overtopping on the coast. Sunday is dry and | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
brighter. Still breezy but quieter. A similar picture in the north`east. | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
The showers fewer and further between on Saturday but still a | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
blustery day. Sunday, the winds will ease. The showers will die away for | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
most places. Some sunny spells. Thanks, Paul. | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
Now, a last look at tonight's headlines. | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Parts of Britain have had their wettest January since records began. | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
If And Cumbria County Council's scaled down planned fire cuts. | :27:25. | :27:34. | |
But it's withdrawn bus subsidies. And also bringing in parking | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
charges. That's it now. We are back at | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
10:25. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :27:43. |
