Good Evening: Parts of the region are battered by winds of up to | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
70mph. Also, please tell us more - parents say they're kept in the | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
dark about nursery arrests. And we'll meet the trial biker who | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
survived this 40 foot fall and lives to tell the tale. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
The Met office still have a warning in place for gales or severe gales. | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
:00:42. | :00:46. | ||
Join me later for the latest. Good Evening. Tonight, it's been a wild | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
start to the week with gale force winds bringing trees down across | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Yorkshire. Traffic restrictions have been in place and gusts of | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
nearly 70mph are expected. We have just heard a young boy has | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
been taken to hospital after a roof blew off at a garage in Queensbury | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
near Bradford. He's said to have serious but not life-threatening | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
injuries. More on that later. We'll have the latest from Ian who | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
is in West Yorkshire. First, South Yorkshire's story. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
The morning rush hour saw the worst of the winds in Sheffield. Luckily, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
the people living here were on the school run when this tree crashed | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
into their front garden and came to rest right next to their house. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
It could have been much worse. It looked pretty epic at the time, but | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
on further inspection, I could see that it was actually more cosmetic. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
And over in Woodseats, a popular tree became a victim of the strong | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
winds. It even has a pub named after it, but this morning, the top | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
part snapped, forcing the landlady to call on some of the regulars for | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
help. With the tree no longer safe, the rest had to be cut down. It's | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
very sad. We moan about this tree every year because it's tremendous, | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
you know, the leaves trying to clean it up and that, we do it | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
three times a day, but now we have no tree to clean up. Staff at | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Sheffield City Council have been kept busy and have had 46 emergency | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
call outs since this morning, all related to problems caused by the | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
wind. At least five trees across the city have fallen, fortunately | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
no-one's been injured. We have got quite a lot of trees. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
In one sense, we are extremely lucky that we live in such a green | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
city, but then again probably that brings more risk when you have | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
things like hurricanes and wild winds. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
This evening, the winds have eased, but autumn has most definitely | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
arrived. Thanks Emma. Ian has been out in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
West Yorkshire with the latest on the conditions there. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
The sign says it all. This was the centre of Leeds today. The roads | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
around Yorkshire's tallest building, Bridgwater plaice, closed to buses | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
and high-sided vehicles as winds battered the city. In North | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Yorkshire, safety concerns led to the city closing five parks. This | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
branch came crashing down while we were filming. We had a couple of | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
trees come down a couple of years ago here and we have been stood | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
here and seen debris blowing across the park, brarge branches. The | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
University of York has been monitoring the wund speeds and have | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
reported a speed of 49.3 -- wind speeds. Making a trip to the city | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
centre was hard work for many. lady, I caught her in time. It can | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
be very dangerous. We were blown across the road actually and I was | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
blown off that seat nearly there. I just managed to sit down. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Emergency services say the best place to be tonight is at home and | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
that you shouldn't travel unless you have to. | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
We were hoping to go to Ian White leave near Wetherby but the wind | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
has taken him off air. So information on the travel now. Not | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
surprisingly, problems for Leeds Bradford Airport. Four flights have | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
had to be diverted there. Very difficult to land the planes down. | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
That looks pretty hairy that one. If you ever come into Leeds | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
Bradford on a normal day, it can be lopsided. The M1 is closed near | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
Tyldesley viaduct. 40mph wind restrictions on the M62. And the | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
trens Pennine routes, Wood Pass closed to high side id vehicles. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
The main line from Halifax to Manchester is closed while they | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
remove branches. The line is open but no real delays. They've had | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
problems on that one. If you are heading west, you may be delayed. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
If heading east, you should be OK. Also a lot of problems on the East | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Coast Main Line. If you have any problems or photos | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
:05:19. | :05:35. | ||
Also tonight, parents are demanding to know why two nurseries in York | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
are being investigated. Six women who work at the privately run | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
nurseries, Little Joes and Heworth House, have been arrested. Police | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
say there's no suggestion of spews, but parents haven't been told | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
exactly what is being investigated. One family who've continued to use | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the nursery say they need more information to make an informed | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
decision about their daughter's care. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
The Westons just want what is best for their three-year-old. A police | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
investigation at her York nursery, Heworth House, has left them worry | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
and confused. Although very happy with the care Ruby's had at the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
nursery, dad Justin wants to know what is under investigation so he | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
can do what's best for his little girl. Very frustrated with the lack | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
of information coming from the agencies involved. Nobody's spoken | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
to us about the allegations to see if they even affect our child. | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
Nobody's explained to us exactly what the allegations are. Nobody's | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
keeping us informed. It's more than two weeks since | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
North Yorkshire police, Ofsted and York City Council started an | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
investigation into Heworth House and Little Joes nurseries. Parents | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
were informed by letter and last week, six staff members were | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
arrested and released on bail. The City of York Safeguarding Children | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Board is working with both nurseries and the investigators to | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
ensure the children are safe. There's increased monitoring and | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
some recommended changes have been implemented. But the nature of the | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
alleged problems here remains a secret. The board says that making | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
too much information public could compromise the investigation. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
If there's been any serious allegations, the nursery would have | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
been closed down. On this occasion, the nurseries aren't closed and at | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
this stage, it's an investigation. I think parents need to take that | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
into account. The allegations do not relate to | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
sexual abuse, but in the absence of clear information, families like | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
the Westons face a difficult choice. Disrupt their child's care by | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
withdrawing them or stick with the nursery that could be having | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
problems... Later on Look North: You are in the | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
army now. Part-time soldiers prepare for war as the territorials | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
are called up. If you know anything about trial | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
biking, you will have heard of Chris ago rig, six times national | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
champion in his sport. It's an extreme business and when it goes | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
wrong, it can be catastrophic. Chris from Keighley tackled the | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Yorkshire Daily Mail rocks when he fell 40 foot. He is recovering now. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
He is here to tell us about it let's see the moment though when it | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
:08:29. | :08:35. | ||
Extraordinary isn't it? Incredible. What is it like for you watching | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
that back again? I've watched it a lot now so it doesn't bother me. It | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
took a couple of weeks to pluck up the courage to watch it the first | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
time. I think my parents took a couple of more weeks before they | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
watched it. But yes,... Your story is on Helicopter Heroes tomorrow | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
Chris? Yes. It was a tricky rescue. Talk us through it? Yes, when I | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
landed, it was quite a nasty bit of cropy rocks. The helicopter | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
couldn't get to the base of the cliff so they had to land at the | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
top and the land ambulance came from the bottom so they had to | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
climb from the rocks to get to me. You get a sense of how difficulties | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
for them to get to you there? I didn't pick a very good place to | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
fall. I didn't anticipate that happening but... You could see your | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
bike there. How did you feel at that moment? Were you aware of what | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
was happening or not? I felt a little stupid to be honest. It | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
hadn't crossed my mind you know that it might look a little | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
wreckless on the video, but I'd planned everything out and | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
everything looked on paper and in my head like it would go well. So I | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
felt stupid when it went that way really. What injuries did you | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
sustain? Landed on a rock and I broke my femur pretty badly and | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
cracked the top of my raidious as well. So they popped a little screw | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
in there so that's bang on now, is that, and they've put a full length | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
steel rod inside my femur and screwed that back together. Are you | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
going to go back to doing that kind of thing? Can't wait. Obviously | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
I've got to get my head down now. The bone's strong now, nice and | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
solid, so I need to get my head down over winter, put the hours in. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
You do some pretty hair-raising stuff don't you? Yes, it's got to | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
the point where it's getting sketchy, yes. Those pictures, well, | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
yeah! What is it about the sport that you love? It's just because | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
I've done it for such a long time, I don't feel like it's dangerous | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
any more, it's just logical progression. In your youth, you go | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
up little curbs and then you go up a big wall and the next minute you | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
are going off cliffs with ambulances picking you up -- going | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
up little kerbs. Thank goodness you are well and good luck with your | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
recovery. You can see the full story of | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
Chris's rescue on Helicopter Heroes tomorrow morning. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
5,000 motorists have been fined for using bus lanes in Leeds in the | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
past month. The drivers were caught on new cameras introduced to stop | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
people flouting the rules. Each fine is �60 reduced to �30 if paid | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
within two weeks. The tickets add up to at least �150,000. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Some of North Yorkshire's tourist attractions will shut down during | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
the winter. English Heritage have had to cut opening hours of | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Clifford's tower in York and Scarborough Castle because the | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Government grants have been reduced bid nearly a third. TA soldiers | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
from Yorkshire are saying goodbye as they leave for active service in | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Afghanistan. The volunteer troops are part of the Fourth Battalion | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the Yorkshire Regiment and have been training for four months. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
They say their farewells before they go to serve in Helmand for six | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
months. We went to meet their families. At home with his family | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
for one last weekend. Darren will soon be saying goodbye and heading | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
for Afghanistan. It's probably not the most rational | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
thing to do, but you sort of get inspiration from people who've done | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
it, whether they're regular forces or TA and, you know, again, you | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
get... I do have an overwhelming sense of duty. It feels right for | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
me. It's going to be a challenge, definitely. For the next six months, | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
he's putting on hold his work as a buyer for Morrison's, his love of | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
the Dewsbury Rams and his role as a father and husband. Do you | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
understand why he does it? He's always wanted to do it and I don't | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
think you could ever change him. It's something that's in you I | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
think and he's proud to do it and I'm proud of him. I am nervous, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
anxious, trying to make the best of it, but we are just on countdown, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
we know he's going at the weekend so he's trying to make the best of | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
it but it's upsetting. It will be tough to say goodbye but I think if | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
you are positive about it and think that I'm not the first one to do it, | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
I won't be the last, and if you think about going away brings you | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
much closer to your family, I think unless you are going away and faced | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
with these things, you don't quite realise how much you love your | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
family. Over in Huddersfield, Captain Steve Jones is also | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
preparing for his first tour of duty. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
It's something that I've trained to do for a long time. For me never to | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
have the opportunity to put that into practise would be a difficult | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
thing to come to terms with. I think it's more the ask that I'm | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
putting on other people that is the big deal for myself, quite selfish | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
I suppose, but it's who I am, it's what I know, what I enjoy doing. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
They're making the most of the time they have left. By the end of the | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
month, they'll be on the frontline in Helmand province. | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
The sort of advice I've had is to keep low, move fast, and I shall be | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
doing that. You know, God willing, you know, get back all safe and | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
sound and have many years of frustration watching the Rams. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Let's hope they have a safe trip. Before 7, James calls it a day. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Toseland talks to us for the first time after quitting his sport | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
through injury. And, would you buy a used car off this man? | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
We know journalists always tell the truth, right. Join me at the | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Bradford science festival in the quest for honesty as I'm put | :14:47. | :14:57. | |
:14:57. | :15:02. | ||
That looked surreal that. We should try that. Now the sport. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Yorkshire county cricket have been put out of their misery? Yes, | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
finally relegated officially. We have been saying it for at least a | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
week now, but Worcestershire got the three bowling points they | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
needed and it's official, Yorkshire will be playing division two. | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
Leeds came out fighting? Yes, and they have a lot of good young | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
players coming through. Some of the more optimistic of us are still | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
hopeful that they can bounce back next year. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
On to this weekend's football now and we've only just started the | :15:37. | :15:46. | |
season but already there are some high flyers and well strugglers. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
One win from five in the league before they took on Crystal Palace. | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
Another defeat would have meant Leeds' worst start for 30 years so | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
a relief when the men went in front. But two goals from the visitors | :16:00. | :16:10. | |
:16:10. | :16:18. | ||
McCormack struck twice. 3-2 Leeds and the mood brightened. At | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Oakfield, Barnsley clinched their first home win of the season in a | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
draw against Leicester City. O'Driscoll admits his team must | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
:16:37. | :16:38. | ||
In League One, Wednesday were undefeated at home and face a test | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:51. | ||
against top of the table MK Dons. The Blades benefitted from the | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
Hillsborough result and drew at Scunthorpe. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
United replaced MK Dons at the top of the table. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
On the south coast, Chesterfield earned their first win of the | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
season at struggling Bournemouth. Huddersfield came away with three | :17:12. | :17:22. | |
:17:22. | :17:27. | ||
In League Two, Flynn rescued a point for the Bantams. He converted | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
two penalties, the last in stoppage time to earn a draw against Bristol | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
Rovers. Rotherham got three in the first half and despite a | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
consolation goal by Dagenham, they still got the three points. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Let's hope they can keep up the run. In Rugby League, Castleford may | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
have lost out to Hull KR in the race for the play-offs, but there | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
was good news for them today. Their stand-off makes his debut in Super | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
League's Dream Team. The 13 players are considered best in their | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
position over the course of the season. He's the only player from | :18:02. | :18:11. | |
our five clubs to make it in. In York, golf, Simon's moved up to | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
the top 30 in the world for the first time in his career after | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
clinching his third Dutch Open in six years and won it by a single | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
shot. With less than a year to go to the | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
London Olympics, the Brownlee brothers sit on top of the | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
triathlon world. In Beijing, Alastair won the race to regain the | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
World Championship title while Jonathan finished third but secured | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
enough points to finish the World Series second overall. It's like | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
running for treacle to be honest. Me and Johnny weren't feeling great. | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
But I wanted to try and keep him in with me but I realised I had to go | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
on the last lap. I was glad to cross the line. Well done to them. | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
Many of you know already that double world champion James | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
Toseland announced his retirement from world motor racing last Friday | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
after suffering a career-ending injury. He crashed earlier this | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
year, nearly paralysing his wrist. He's been back in the region and I | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:20. | ||
caught up with him over the weekend. South Yorkshire's double world | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
champion won the first of his super bike titles, aged just 23. He | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
became the youngest rider ever to lift the trophy. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
His successes and rise in popularity on and off the racetrack | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
led him to securing a contract in the ultimate bike racing | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
competition, MotoGP. But two injury-hit years saw him return to | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
World Superbikes and ultimately, injury would cut his career short. | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
Unfortunately, I crashed in Oregon back at the beginning of March. I | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
only had 24 hours before I could have been paralysed so to even get | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
back on a bike after the injury was amazing but unfortunately, the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
movement in the wrist has not come back since the operation and I | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
can't ride the bike any more. To win two World Championships and to | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
work with so many fantastic people and the support I've had from the | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
fans as well has been incredible. James was back in the region in | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Chesterfield to launch his brother's new property business, | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
along with his new girlfriend, singer song writer Katie Melua. I | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
took my mum to one of her concerts because she really likes her music | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
and I do. I met the band and Katie at the next gig and it's been going | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
well since then. We know how talented James is when it comes to | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
tinkling the ivories, but what's Katie's opinion? He's phenomenal on | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
the piano and he's writing a couple of few songs. We could be swapping | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
hints and tips. It doesn't look like he'll be leaving the spotlight | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
any time soon. We have a celebrity couple in the | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
region. I was shocked. Wasn't expecting to see her there to be | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
honest. I recognised her, proud of my own ability there! It could be | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
something out of a crime drama. Researchers at the University of | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Bradford have revealed a new way of extracting the truth from suspects | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
being interviewed by police, immigration firbls or even | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
candidates in job interviews -- officials. This detector works on | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
how our face reacts on being dishonest. | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
Mr Spweg integrity himself went for the test. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
In a dark room among the corridors here, scientists analyse results | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
from a lie detector armed with a sophisticated liquid nitrogen | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
thermal imaging camera operating at minus 270 Celsius, researchers can | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
spot minute changes in blood flow and facial expression. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
When you lie, you make up things in your brain which manes your brain | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
activity increases, so on thermal imaging, you can sigh these things | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
on the face because the facial blood flow changes. Also, when you | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
lie, you do certain expressions on your face and we can capture this. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
We've seen how the science is supposed to work. Let's put the lie | :22:35. | :22:43. | |
detector to the test. Question one. What is your full | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
name? Phillip... To begin with, the interrogator asks me simple | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
baseline questions. Then, another set of questions where I'm | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
deliberately encouraged to fib. a great linguist, I've mastered | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
Spanish, French, German I can speak a bit of and also Swahili, I've | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
learned that and I've recently undertaken to learn Esperanto as | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
well. Clearly I was lying but did the analysis pick it up? We found | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
that you lied in at least five of the interrogational questions. So | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
you're not a very good liar. assure you, I don't usually lie, | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
but you did tell me to lie! The Bradford scientist's work is | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
being closely monitor bid the Home Office and the UK Border Agency. If | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
it becomes commercially viable, it will leave interviewees little room | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
to confuse fact with fiction. You weren't very good at lying. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
was hopeless. Believe it or not, the researchers say you've got to | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
be very, very, very coordinated and planned in order to lie, but on the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
spur of the moment with those questions, I had no idea about, it | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
was impossible. As you can see! More through the week from you? | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
the science festival is going on in Bradford this week and we'll do | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
more there over the next few days. Back to the top story now and the | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
winds reaching 70mph today. An 11- year-old boy is being treated in | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
hospital after being hit by part of a garage roof in Bradford. | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
Eyewitnesses say he was with his brother doing his paper round in | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Queensbury. He had to be cut free from the wreckage. His injuries are | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
described as serious but not life- threatening. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
Travel difficulties tonight because of the high winds. Paul will be | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
here with an update in a moment. Rail services, especially on the | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
East Coast between York and Newcastle and on the line between | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Halifax and Manchester remains closed while branches are removed. | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
There are no major problems on the roads, although there are | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
restricktions in place for high- sided vehicles. Four planes have | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
been diverted from Leeds Bristol Airport. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Airport. Any end to this, Paul? | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
It will be windy all night. Three pictures that have come in. An | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
uprooted train on the Pennine Way. The second one, you can see all the | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
dust and sand blowing off-the- fields there. This is a tree under | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
:25:29. | :25:31. | ||
strain says Laura at the reservoir Let's have a look at the top gusts. | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
:25:41. | :25:49. | ||
Bill's got a very good station and Most gustst have been 50-6 of | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
themph. We peaked at 71 up there on the North Yorkshire coastline and | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
winds are peaking right now. Strong winds in the next two or three | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
hours with gusts 50-06, locally 70mph. Tomorrow, it's still very | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
windy, a gale from the south-west. I suspect gusts will be around | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
50mph tomorrow and that is somewhat less than the ones we've had this | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
afternoon. It's still very windy. You can see the isobars on the | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
latest chart. The satellite picture suggests it's | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
been a nice afternoon in the east. A lot of cloud over the Pennines | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
has given light drizzly showers for the Dales but mo most places are | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
dry and it's very windy indeed. It will be a slow process as the winds | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
slowly moderate. Still a gale even by the end of the night with lowest | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
:26:47. | :26:48. | ||
temperatures down to 11. Another very windy day tomorrow | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
with a strong and gusty south- westerly. Weather wise not too bad. | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
A good start, lot of sunshine around. We'll see a few showers | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
pushing in from the west. Few and far between in the east. Most | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
showers will be across the Pennines and they'll blow through rapidly. | :27:04. | :27:14. | |
In the sunnier spots, top temperatures of 18. Many places | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
around 17 through north-west and South Yorkshire. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Wednesday, sunny spells with a few showers. We are still looking for a | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
good day on Thursday. Thursday and Friday should be mostly fine. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
Calming down a bit? We'll stay at the peak and then | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
towards midnight an easing off, but it will be a slow process. It was | :27:33. | :27:38. |
