The Good evening. The counchl buying That is all from the BBC News

The Good evening. The counchl buying up in desirable residences. Local

:00:16.:00:19.

people are not happy. ?1 million paid out two men abused as

:00:20.:00:24.

teenagers. 500 victims have contacted police. Swansong `t the

region's foremost musical vdnue And the Goths gather for their favourite

weekend. Gus Poyet says thex needed a miracle to stay in the Prdmier

:00:51.:01:07.

League. Good evening. "Underhand" and

:01:08.:01:10.

"dishonest behaviour". That's the accusation faced by one of our

:01:11.:01:13.

councils tonight after it sdcretly bought houses in leafy suburbs to

:01:14.:01:16.

turn into residential homes for troubled children. The vendors were

:01:17.:01:18.

asked to sign confidentiality clauses. Stockton Council s`ys it

:01:19.:01:22.

has bought three houses and the move will save millions of pounds because

:01:23.:01:25.

it means vulnerable children won't be sent elsewhere to receivd care.

:01:26.:01:28.

But local residents aren't happy, as Stuart Whincup reports.

:01:29.:01:33.

Crammed inside a Stockton school hall, emotions were running high.

:01:34.:01:42.

Your consultation process should start before the property is bought.

:01:43.:01:46.

The first most people knew `bout it was when they got an anonymous

:01:47.:01:49.

letter to tell us what was going on. This was their first chance to raise

:01:50.:01:53.

concerns, but the deal, manx said, was already done.

:01:54.:01:55.

We need compensation payabld to be high so that you would ensure there

:01:56.:01:59.

were no problems, whether that damage, graffiti, noise, ASBOs, etc.

:02:00.:02:06.

But not everyone here was against the home.

:02:07.:02:10.

If I were to leave Heartburn, it would not be because of this home,

:02:11.:02:14.

which I think is a wonderful idea, and I supported thoroughly. It would

:02:15.:02:17.

be because suddenly I don't want to love among the people who are saying

:02:18.:02:20.

these things. And this is the house in He`rtburn

:02:21.:02:24.

Stockton Council has bought. It would be run by a private company,

:02:25.:02:28.

providing home to five vulndrable children. Similar houses in

:02:29.:02:30.

Thorpefield and Stillington have already been bought.

:02:31.:02:34.

There is a perception, and puite rightly, that it will devalte the

:02:35.:02:37.

properties in very close vicinity to the children's home.

:02:38.:02:44.

But if the whole scheme is to go ahead, it needs final approval.

:02:45.:02:47.

That's another cause for concern. People here say it's wrong that the

:02:48.:02:50.

council are spending large sums of money on big houses like thhs one,

:02:51.:02:54.

and that they are the ones who will decide to grant themselves planning

:02:55.:02:57.

permission, changing its usd from a domestic property to a residential

:02:58.:03:05.

Jordan's home. Campaigners say the council is hardly likely to tell

:03:06.:03:08.

itself no. Some in the hall said children should be helped and not

:03:09.:03:12.

demonised. The council says it would not have been able to buy the house

:03:13.:03:16.

had it gone public, and the move will save it millions of potnds

:03:17.:03:19.

There won't be loads of trotble This will work. These children will

:03:20.:03:23.

be happy, they will be back in the borough, they will have a mtch

:03:24.:03:26.

better chance of the future, and it is good to see the cancel a lot of

:03:27.:03:30.

money. That isn't the driver though, the driver is excellent card, linked

:03:31.:03:34.

to the fact that it is saving money. The home, it was said, would not

:03:35.:03:38.

destroy this leafy suburb, ht would create jobs, and some of thd area's

:03:39.:03:41.

most vulnerable children will no longer be sent to other parts of the

:03:42.:03:45.

country away from their famhlies and friends. Stewart Whincup, BBC Look

:03:46.:03:51.

North, Stockton. And Stuart joins me from BBC Tees

:03:52.:03:54.

now. That was a passionate leeting you were at. Is there anythhng that

:03:55.:03:58.

opponents can do to prevent the change of use from private homes to

:03:59.:04:07.

council children's homes? Time and time again people `sked the

:04:08.:04:11.

question, was this a done ddal, was there anything they could do. The

:04:12.:04:16.

answer that came back the council was not very clear. There is the

:04:17.:04:20.

planning process that can bd challenged, but people were not very

:04:21.:04:25.

hopeful there. The council has three properties and says it is looking

:04:26.:04:29.

for a fourth property. It h`s been in the market for some time looking

:04:30.:04:33.

at a number of areas. They `sked which areas they were looking at,

:04:34.:04:37.

but there were no clear answers I think we will see more of these

:04:38.:04:40.

meetings in the months ahead. Thank you Stewart.

:04:41.:04:49.

The Government has paid out more than a million pounds in out of

:04:50.:04:52.

court settlements to people abused at a former County Durham ddtention

:04:53.:04:55.

centre. Police recently announced they're investigating the

:04:56.:04:57.

possibility of more than 500 victims of abuse at the Medomsley ddtention

:04:58.:05:01.

centre in the 1970s and 1980s. Now we can reveal that the Ministry of

:05:02.:05:05.

Justice has already made out of court settlements to more than

:05:06.:05:07.

thirty people. Our Political Correspondent, Mark Denten, has more

:05:08.:05:10.

and joins me now. These werd very disturbing events ` what's the

:05:11.:05:15.

background to them? This centres on boys who were held

:05:16.:05:22.

at the former Medomsley detdntion centre in County Durham. After an

:05:23.:05:26.

original investigation into abuse at the centre, this man was jahled in

:05:27.:05:35.

2003. Leslie Johnson was also jailed in 2003. Both of those men `re now

:05:36.:05:40.

dead. Last year, a fourth inmate came forward to say that he was

:05:41.:05:45.

abused, and this has reopendd the investigation. Now they are looking

:05:46.:05:49.

at the potential of 520 possible victims. A BBC programme earlier

:05:50.:05:55.

this year revealed some horrific stories from inside that detention

:05:56.:06:00.

centre in the 1980s. Boys so desperate to get away, that they

:06:01.:06:04.

asked other inmates to break their legs so that they could be loved

:06:05.:06:09.

elsewhere. Other stories of systematic sexual abuse and rape. It

:06:10.:06:14.

was akin to a concentration camp, allegedly. So what has happdned

:06:15.:06:25.

today? To date, `` to date, it has become clear that the Ministry of

:06:26.:06:28.

Justice has already paid compensation to some victims.

:06:29.:06:32.

Average payments are in the region of ?40,000 per year. The total

:06:33.:06:37.

payments are in the region of ? .4 million. That is a drop in the ocean

:06:38.:06:43.

for the Department, which h`s a total budget of ?9 billion. No one

:06:44.:06:47.

knows how many people will eventually come forward.

:06:48.:06:55.

The man in charge of Sage G`teshead has announced he is to stand down

:06:56.:06:58.

after fifteen years. Anthonx Sargent has overseen the development of the

:06:59.:07:01.

prestigious concert hall from drawing board to centre of

:07:02.:07:03.

excellence. His departure is scheduled for April next ye`r,

:07:04.:07:06.

following the venue's 10th birthday in December. To secure its long`term

:07:07.:07:09.

future, The Sage has just l`unched an appeal to raise six millhon

:07:10.:07:12.

pounds. Here's our arts reporter, Sharuna Sagar.

:07:13.:07:20.

It is a building you could never have imagined before it was built,

:07:21.:07:24.

but now it is hard to imagine the quayside without it. Since opening

:07:25.:07:28.

in December 2004, Sage Gateshead has become a world`class concert hall,

:07:29.:07:30.

boasting deep local roots, dntwined with an international reput`tion.

:07:31.:07:38.

And now the man at the top has decided it's time to go.

:07:39.:07:43.

These are big, powerful, important jobs, and I have occasionally seen

:07:44.:07:46.

colleagues of mine stay past their sell`by date, and I really didn t

:07:47.:07:52.

want to do that. I wanted to move at the point when I'm enormously proud

:07:53.:07:56.

of it, I'm proud of the whole team here, and it's just at the loment

:07:57.:07:59.

when I think it'll be excithng for someone else to come and take it on.

:08:00.:08:03.

It's as simple as that, really, truly.

:08:04.:08:05.

And what they will take on hs a place where people find thelselves

:08:06.:08:07.

musically. I can't help but think that the last

:08:08.:08:11.

ten years have been really fantastic for the Royal Northern Symphony and

:08:12.:08:15.

it has been a home for us where we can develop and grow musically.

:08:16.:08:21.

As a folk singer from Gateshead me and my sister are really proud to

:08:22.:08:25.

have the Sage, and to always have been involved in the Sage.

:08:26.:08:29.

I've seen folk music here, H've seen West Side Story here, and I've also

:08:30.:08:33.

seen somebody like Morrisey dancing around up there. It's becomd a

:08:34.:08:38.

really valuable gem in the north`east's crown.

:08:39.:08:44.

And it continues to sparkle. In a decade, it will have hosted 400

:08:45.:08:49.

performances across all genres. It will have welcomed six millhon

:08:50.:08:54.

visitors. And it will have contributed ?300 million to the

:08:55.:08:59.

local economy. But even with the recent pressure of cuts to `rts

:09:00.:09:02.

funding, its core values relain at its very heart.

:09:03.:09:08.

The mission and the vision here is to produce the highest qualhty work

:09:09.:09:12.

that we can, to make it accdssible to local people, and to do `

:09:13.:09:15.

learning programme that is `vailable and accessible to everybody we could

:09:16.:09:18.

possibly work with. That dodsn't change. What does change is fitting

:09:19.:09:21.

that vision and that mission alongside changing external economic

:09:22.:09:23.

circumstances. That is the challenge.

:09:24.:09:34.

And Anthony Sargent joins md now, here in the studio. Are you leaving

:09:35.:09:42.

before the going gets tough? Now, I have never in my lifd done

:09:43.:09:47.

that, and I won't start doing it now. The problem is, there hs a big

:09:48.:09:56.

fundraising drive, you need an additional ?6 million. People will

:09:57.:10:03.

be asking why you are living now? Well, we have fundraising c`mpaigns

:10:04.:10:07.

all the time. This particul`r one takes advantage of the schele we're

:10:08.:10:13.

every pound will be matched by 0p from the arts Council, so there is a

:10:14.:10:18.

very particular opportunity now And there is never a perfect molent but

:10:19.:10:22.

it is almost like the alignlent of the stars, and a lot of things do

:10:23.:10:26.

line up. We have our 10th anniversary celebrations, and we

:10:27.:10:30.

will know by this summer whdther we are getting funding for 2018, we are

:10:31.:10:37.

just completing a business plan There are a lot of really ilportant

:10:38.:10:40.

foundations of Sage Gateshe`d that will be in place, and that felt like

:10:41.:10:48.

a great moment to make a move to me. I am sorry to document the funding,

:10:49.:10:53.

but obviously you get a lot of funding, and the arts sector has

:10:54.:10:56.

been particularly squeeze, `s you know. Is the centre in debt? No we

:10:57.:11:10.

earn 75% of our money. It is the normal British mixed economx. There

:11:11.:11:14.

is a small proportion of subsidy, but what this enables us to do is to

:11:15.:11:17.

go out and earn the rest of the money. He condemns us to brhng great

:11:18.:11:24.

international artists `` it enables us to bring. It is the norm`l mixed

:11:25.:11:32.

economy. Is it getting worsd? Well, these are tough times for everybody.

:11:33.:11:37.

In any part of British life that is supported by the public sector, they

:11:38.:11:44.

are all having a toff time. We all want to see the stage left hn good

:11:45.:11:51.

shape. But what about you? For the next year I will be at Sage

:11:52.:11:54.

Gateshead. My board have known that I am leaving for quite a whhle. I am

:11:55.:11:59.

not committed to staying in this country. I have had some

:12:00.:12:03.

conversations about working abroad. But the only thing that mothvates me

:12:04.:12:06.

to get out of bed in the morning is working somewhere where I fdel that

:12:07.:12:11.

the energy I have got can m`ke something that I care about can

:12:12.:12:15.

happen. What I am looking at in the next six months, is we're c`n my

:12:16.:12:21.

skills and experience make something I care about happen. This is what

:12:22.:12:26.

the last 15 years have all been about. Thank you very much.

:12:27.:12:37.

Work officially started tod`y on a new Teesside energy plant that will

:12:38.:12:40.

burn non`recyclable rubbish. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude broke

:12:41.:12:42.

the ground at the Port Clardnce scheme. He also confirmed a deal

:12:43.:12:46.

that will see the government buy all of the new plant's electrichty for

:12:47.:12:50.

20 years. It will be used to heat and light Whitehall offices. Our

:12:51.:12:52.

Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports.

:12:53.:12:54.

Teeside's getting a reputathon for this sort of business. What will be

:12:55.:12:58.

here is a plant that burns household and business waste and turns it into

:12:59.:13:01.

electricity. It will join a similar one next door still being btilt And

:13:02.:13:05.

not far away is a facility that burns all of Tyneside's household

:13:06.:13:08.

waste. And there could be more. We are hoping that, if we c`n prove

:13:09.:13:12.

that this model which we thhnk has a lot of benefits versus prevhous

:13:13.:13:16.

disposal of waste, if we can prove this model then others might want to

:13:17.:13:19.

follow in her footsteps. This scheme got a ministeri`l seal

:13:20.:13:22.

of approval today, not least because the government has struck a deal to

:13:23.:13:26.

take all of its power for 20 years, the electricity being used by

:13:27.:13:29.

government departments. Well, it provides us with

:13:30.:13:32.

fixed`price power, which is a benefit for the taxpayer, and that's

:13:33.:13:37.

good news. We're getting a luch better deal for the taxpayer because

:13:38.:13:41.

we're buying on behalf of the hall of the public sector.

:13:42.:13:44.

When this plant is up and rtnning about 350,000 tonnes of rubbish will

:13:45.:13:47.

be burnt every year. Rubbish that would otherwise have been dtmped in

:13:48.:13:50.

landfill sites. Ian Reeve, BBC Look North, Teeside.

:13:51.:13:59.

You're watching Look North. Still to come, Jeff has the weekend sport and

:14:00.:14:03.

we're live in Whitby for thd Goth Weekend plus: Tales from thd river

:14:04.:14:06.

bank. The otter survey from Tyne to Tees that will reveal just how

:14:07.:14:09.

numerous these creatures have become. It is almost the wedkend,

:14:10.:14:18.

what will the weather holds? I will be here with the full forec`st.

:14:19.:14:27.

It's a festival started by ` group of pen pals twenty years ago and has

:14:28.:14:31.

ended up as a major event attracting thousands of visitors. And today the

:14:32.:14:35.

Whitby Goth Festival got underway bringing fashion and music to the

:14:36.:14:39.

seaside town. Over the years it s evolved into a celebration of

:14:40.:14:41.

alternative lifestyles. Well, Peter Harris is in Whitby now. Anx sign of

:14:42.:14:56.

Dracula through all that mist? If Dracula does emerge throtgh the

:14:57.:15:00.

mist, he will find most of the Goths are hiding from the weather. He will

:15:01.:15:04.

also find this is a festival that brings out some surprising people.

:15:05.:15:09.

Pam and Chris came to Whitbx on holiday once. It was Goths weekend.

:15:10.:15:16.

Now look at what has happendd. We looked in the Goths shops and spot,

:15:17.:15:22.

all. You go on holiday and come back a Goths. Everybody it accepts

:15:23.:15:31.

everybody. You can be as outlandish as you like. There is no

:15:32.:15:37.

condescension, no nastiness. Most people are hiding from this

:15:38.:15:39.

appalling weather, but it is mostly about fashion, and drinking, and a

:15:40.:15:45.

celebration of alternative lifestyles. We just like behng part

:15:46.:15:52.

of the alternative scene, not just Goths, but also punks. Raid the

:15:53.:16:02.

actual time `` the actual town of Whitby has always been so wdlcoming

:16:03.:16:07.

and to warm to us. I think lost of us treated like a second hole. The

:16:08.:16:13.

Goth festival originally cale to Whitby because of its connections to

:16:14.:16:17.

Dracula. In return, the bring traded to the town as well as fashhon and a

:16:18.:16:24.

splash of colour. Some new colours creeping. I thought it was just

:16:25.:16:35.

black. Now, purple, sometimds green, sometimes rents. As they

:16:36.:16:40.

huddle from the weather, a Goth singsong broke out. Nothing wrong

:16:41.:16:52.

with Kylie and Jason. Now there are two festivals in Whitby these is,

:16:53.:16:56.

one in them, and one in sprhng. Because at this time of year, we

:16:57.:17:01.

have the weather. We are a bit disappointed, `ren t

:17:02.:17:12.

we? Can't Sunderland come b`ck from the brink, that is the question

:17:13.:17:19.

tonight. The focus this weekend is on the

:17:20.:17:23.

Stadium of Light ` a high noon shoot`out with relegation rhvals

:17:24.:17:25.

Cardiff City at mid`day on Sunday. Ten days ago, most fans thotght

:17:26.:17:29.

their team would be dead and buried by now. Even the Head Coach seemed

:17:30.:17:33.

to be resigned to a spell in the Championship. Then they drew at

:17:34.:17:36.

Manchester City and won at Chelsea. Gus Poyet said it himself. @fter

:17:37.:17:39.

that 5`1 hammering at Tottenham it would take "a miracle" to kdep them

:17:40.:17:43.

up. But the Black Cats have finally found themselves a goal`scorer ` and

:17:44.:17:49.

a bit of self`belief. I was believing, I was using the word

:17:50.:17:55.

miracle. What it means in mx world is that something very spechal and

:17:56.:18:01.

unique is going to happen. We needed something really special, and I

:18:02.:18:06.

think that what we have dond in the last week is really special. There

:18:07.:18:11.

have been one or two special performance from Sunderland this

:18:12.:18:14.

season, not least when they clawed their way back from 2`0 down to

:18:15.:18:17.

pinch a point at Cardiff back in December. But too many times `

:18:18.:18:21.

especially in front of their own fans ` they've had the chance to

:18:22.:18:24.

move out of trouble, and blown it. There won't be too many mord. The

:18:25.:18:29.

idea is that we had too manx chances, we have been in thhs

:18:30.:18:33.

situation many times. I say to myself, come on. Don't wait for

:18:34.:18:45.

another one, take this one. When we go away from home, there is not as

:18:46.:18:49.

much pressure on. Sunderland leaves gaps, and weak kick up the

:18:50.:18:53.

advantage. What we have to do now, is handled the pressure. Thdre is a

:18:54.:18:59.

tremendous atmosphere. We h`ve an easy game, hopefully, I head against

:19:00.:19:11.

Manchester United. Elsewhere, Newcastle don't play

:19:12.:19:14.

until Monday night. Having served his ban for headbutting Hull's David

:19:15.:19:17.

Meyler, manager Alan Pardew will be back on the touchline for the trip

:19:18.:19:21.

to Arsenal. And in the Championship, Middlesbrough are at home to

:19:22.:19:23.

second`bottom Barnsley. Full radio commentary, as usual, on BBC Tees.

:19:24.:19:26.

In League One, these are testing times for the Carlisle Unitdd

:19:27.:19:29.

manager Graham Kavanagh. He has three games to rescue the Blues from

:19:30.:19:33.

the brink of relegation, st`rting with tomorrow's home game against

:19:34.:19:35.

Oldham. It could be on`loan striker Gary Madine's last appearance due to

:19:36.:19:39.

his 7pm curfew under the terms of his release from prison. As for the

:19:40.:19:42.

manager, he remains determined to engineer another of the club's

:19:43.:19:46.

famous great escapes. We've got to believe that wd are

:19:47.:19:50.

still more than capable of staying in the league, and with the extra

:19:51.:19:54.

game in hand, if we can man`ge to win against Oldham, we'll gdt

:19:55.:19:56.

ourselves a fighting chance. Of course it was relief all round

:19:57.:19:59.

for Hartlepool United on Easter Monday. They guaranteed thehr

:20:00.:20:02.

Football League survival after halting a losing streak at home to

Morecambe. The manager's pldased for everyone associated with thd club,

:20:06.:20:08.

although he insists he never feared relegation. He did, though, praise

:20:09.:20:11.

Pools' "siege mentality". Wd had an extra 1500 on the crowd with the ?5

:20:12.:20:15.

ticket deal. We had a man sdnt off after an hour. We were 1`0 down And

:20:16.:20:19.

the whole thing just galvanhsed and it was us against the world, it was

:20:20.:20:23.

a brilliant feeling, and we've allayed any fears of relegation

:20:24.:20:26.

But, by the same token, I w`nt to see puff our chests out and really

:20:27.:20:30.

give Plymouth a good game and give her away fans, who have been

:20:31.:20:33.

fantastic, something to smile about on what is a heck of a long journey

:20:34.:20:37.

back, and I understand international rescue are on the way. Just 14

months after playing their first rugby union match at the Northern

Echo Arena ` originally built as a football stadium ` Darlington Mowden

Park are hosting what could prove to be a promotion decider. The men s

:20:50.:20:54.

senior team hope that if thdy can beat Macclesfield and other results

:20:55.:20:57.

go their way, they'll win attomatic promotion from National North Two.

:20:58.:20:59.

Kick`off's at three tomorrow afternoon and a family Open Day at

:21:00.:21:07.

the Arena gets underway at noon Lets hope for good weather, but I am

:21:08.:21:18.

not that hopeful. We need good weather this weekend, because

:21:19.:21:22.

Volunteers will be out on rhver banks from the Tyne to the Tees this

:21:23.:21:26.

weekend for the biggest ever survey of otters in the North of England.

:21:27.:21:29.

Durham Wildlife Trust hopes to build a picture of the region's otter

:21:30.:21:33.

population, which is thought to be bouncing back after they were nearly

:21:34.:21:36.

wiped out by pollution. One hundred and twenty otter`spotters whll be

:21:37.:21:39.

looking for signs including tracks and droppings.

:21:40.:21:41.

Otters waiting for feeding time at Washington Wetlands Centre. The

:21:42.:21:44.

otters that you can hear sqteaking and calling behind me are Asian

:21:45.:21:48.

short clawed otters. There `re currently no native British otters

:21:49.:21:51.

in captivity, and volunteers will be looking for signs of them in the

:21:52.:21:56.

wild. Caught on camera here near the banks of the Weir, the native otter

:21:57.:22:02.

is nocturnal and hard to spot. Have a look around at what's on the

:22:03.:22:05.

other side there. Instead, the survey team will look

:22:06.:22:09.

for what they leave behind. Like footprints and their distinctive

:22:10.:22:12.

droppings known as spraint. It's not unpleasant, it is just

:22:13.:22:15.

musty, fishy and some peopld say it like jasmine tea. I have never got

:22:16.:22:19.

that one. We have all volunteered to go out

:22:20.:22:23.

into the countryside and have a look for signs of otters, record that and

:22:24.:22:27.

see we can get a snapshot of it over one night. So we are all just

:22:28.:22:31.

learning how to spot the signs. Deborah has found a sure sign that

:22:32.:22:35.

an otter has been here. It's a little bit of otter spraint. Smells

:22:36.:22:37.

very distinctive. Not totally unpleasant, but it is distinctive.

:22:38.:22:39.

Well done. Excellent. It's exactly what they are looking

:22:40.:22:46.

for. Yeah, definitely otter sprahnt.

:22:47.:22:51.

Anybody want to have a little sniff? This is how we spend our Saturday

:22:52.:22:55.

mornings ` sniffing poo! We are in otter territory.

:22:56.:22:57.

But the seasoned otter spotter needs to know their droppings.

:22:58.:23:01.

No, I don't think so. I think that might be goose or duck. Yeah, it's a

:23:02.:23:06.

bit green for otter. They wdre very close to extinction in the 40s, 60s,

:23:07.:23:09.

and 70s due to pesticides and pollution. Since then, we h`ve

:23:10.:23:13.

cleaned up our water courses fantastically. Their population has

:23:14.:23:16.

been increasing and recoverhng, but I would say it is still a fragile

:23:17.:23:19.

recovery. It could collapse again, if something went wrong. So we just

:23:20.:23:24.

need to keep an eye on it, really. Volunteers will be out across County

:23:25.:23:28.

Durham this weekend, and will be hoping that the otters are too. Now

:23:29.:23:42.

:23:43.:23:48.

you Linsley, for this beauthful shot taken in County Durham.

:23:49.:23:56.

Overnight tonight, some heavy showers. These greens on thd map

:23:57.:24:03.

indicating areas of heavy r`infall, really hammering down for a time

:24:04.:24:08.

over the Pennines. By Don, these showers will start to move

:24:09.:24:12.

northwards. Temperatures ovdrnight now lower than eight Celsius.

:24:13.:24:20.

Tomorrow, a gloomy start in the West and the South. More rain will splash

:24:21.:24:23.

its way across the region from the south. Through the afternoon, things

:24:24.:24:30.

will start to improve in thd West, while it says gloomy east of the

:24:31.:24:35.

Pennines. As we take a tour, it is Shari, cool, breezy, and cloudy

:24:36.:24:44.

across the north`east. You `` 1 Celsius. Feeling cooler bec`use of

:24:45.:24:51.

the strong winds. Across thd Pennines, a fine end to the day in

:24:52.:24:58.

Cumbria. 15 Celsius, feeling more pleasant year. `` feeling more

:24:59.:25:07.

pleasant here. The low pressure will think the low pressure will sink

:25:08.:25:10.

away southwards through Sattrday. Through Sunday, things stay

:25:11.:25:14.

generally unsettled, with the risk of showers and low cloud in

:25:15.:25:20.

particular. In the West, a better chance of brightness. On Monday low

:25:21.:25:24.

pressure still dominating, but we are in between weather systdms. This

:25:25.:25:29.

one will sweep in from the west bringing in more showers through

:25:30.:25:33.

Tuesday possibly some stronger as well. Over the next few days,

:25:34.:25:43.

largely cloudy but dry on Stnday. An increasing chance of dry brdaks in

:25:44.:25:48.

that cloud on Monday. Higher temperatures next week, 17 Celsius.

:25:49.:25:58.

Possibly springlike on Mond`y. Don't forget, that rain is on the way to

:25:59.:26:04.

Cumbria first on Tuesday. A gloomy outlook for Sunday. Not looking good

:26:05.:26:10.

for the Goths, who are expecting it to be drizzly. Possibly a lhttle bit

:26:11.:26:24.

brighter on Monday. Thanks @nna That's all for now. Goodbye will

at the European elections on May the 22nd.

:26:56.:27:04.

even though that would wreck the recovery and destroy jobs.

:27:05.:27:11.

The Conservatives are now openly flirting with exit.

:27:12.:27:15.

they just don't have the courage of their convictions on this.

:27:16.:27:19.

They wouldn't lift a finger to help keep Britain in the EU

:27:20.:27:25.

So, I'm asking you to vote for the Liberal Democrats, the party of in.
