Good evening. Crisis talks about rubbish. | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
Will there be a strike at sheffield recyling centres over the festive | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
period? We'll be live outside the talks. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Also tonight: Armed police swoop on a dales village. Homes are | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
evacuated near Skipton and the A65 is closed after a man threatens to | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
blow up a house. And the man behind Wallace and | :00:28. | :00:38. | |

You have been inundating us with spectaculars got -- shots of the | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:02. | ||
clouds. We have a full forecast Welcome to the programme. A meeting | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
is taking place right now to try and prevent strike action at | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
recycling centres around Sheffield over Christmas. Workers had voted | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
to walk out indefinitely from 27th December because one-third of them | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
are to lose their jobs. Today talks were held between | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
unions and the council and a new offer is on the table. The workers | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
are meeting to decide if they should accept that offer and we | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
will be at the meeting in a moment. We will also speak to an employment | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
relations expert, Professor Mark Stewart from the University of | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Leeds. First, the background to the strike. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
The workers say that morale has been at rock-bottom. They voted to | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
go on strike indefinitely from 27th December, traditionally, one of the | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
busiest times. Nobody has taken responsibility. The staff were | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
meeting with the Union to discuss their next move and they said the | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
workers are having a difficult time. We are going on strike because we | :02:03. | :02:13. | |
have nothing. We are downtrodden, no side in the future, and in | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
January, redundancy. It is as easy as that. People are struggling | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
financially, people with special needs, that were basically want to | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
keep a decent job. Some of them are on 30 hours per week taking around | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
�150 home a week and they have to run a family on that. It is | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
impossible. The council is cutting the opening hours of the waste and | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
recycling site to save half a million pounds. The talks were held | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
this afternoon and the council has offered to delay these changes by | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
three months. There are now hopes that the strike could be called off. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
The council doesn't operate one manage these sites, it is done by a | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
contractor. The council says that it hopes all relevant parties can | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
resolve the issues as soon as possible, but meanwhile the | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
contractors are saying that talks are ongoing and we are working with | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
everyone involved to reach a resolution. If the plans changes to | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
opening hours go ahead, the GMB union says one third of staff are | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
likely to be made redundant. Those that stay will have to work every | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
weekend for the minimum wage. not think there is any need for | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
this. We understand the council has cuts, and we want to work with them | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
to achieve this, but this is not the way. This was imposed on the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
workers with no choice on whose advice or who stays. Tonight they | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
will meet to discuss the latest offer from the council. It may be | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
last minute, but Christmas disruption may now be avoided. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
We can go to the meeting now which is happening at the farm road | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
social club in Sheffield, and what is then look like in a meeting? | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
workers have gathered inside. I had been speaking to them as they went | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
in, and they want to know more about what exactly the council is | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
offering in Sheffield. I am told what is on offer is a three-month | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
stay of execution to the cuts in opening hours and crucially to the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
cut in jobs. The union hopes that these three months can be used to | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
find another option to job losses. As we move towards Christmas, the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
workers have said that they do not want to go on strike, but they are | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
devastated at the prospect of been made redundant and will do | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
everything they can to defend their jobs. We will let you know what is | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
decided here on the late bulletin tonight at 10:25pm. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
Thank you. Here in the studio is Professor Marks Stewart, an expert | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
in unemployment relations at the University of Leeds. It is very | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
strange, very rare, we hear this indefinite strike, these days. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
does not happen very often. But if you think of the big strikes a few | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
months ago, that was a one-off strike, a one-day strike, that is | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
the way strikes go these days, rather than indefinite strikes. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Ballast one I can think of was the Leeds bins strike, but it is a | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
rarity. The festive period, this is a bad time to do it cannot be too | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
late lots of rubbish at this time of the year, is it an effective | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
time to garner public support? maybe took on a public support, but | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
in terms of having an impact, this is a good time. If you want an | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
impact, D Wood when it will cause the most disruption. Of course, | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
lots of people on holidays, lots of things to be recycled, but | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
everybody is feeling the pinch, potentially one third of the | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
workers could lose their jobs. These talks to resolve this will be | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
very important, nobody wants to not be paid at Christmas. That is | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
correct, people do not go on strike on a whim. Losing a day's pay is a | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
significant issue for people on a minimum wage. It reflects the | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
injustice, their concerns about job security, and the ongoing stability. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
The cancer has contracted the work to another company that have sub- | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
contracted it and so on and so forth, so we accept that the | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
council needs to make cuts. Is this the way of the council saying that | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
we have to do the dirty work, so to speak. The cancer had to make cuts. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
I do not know if it is about doing the dirty work, it is the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
difficulty of the sub-contract a relation, how you get new | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
efficiencies at work and solve disputes like this and hope that | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
cuts are passed on directly to the workers. Thank you very much, | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
professor. We will keep you up-to- date with the results of that | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
meeting. At a coroner has begun his | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
inquiries into the death of a family of four from Pudsey. The | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
inquest was opened 11 days ago after Richard Smith was said to | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
have murdered his wife and his two sons before killing himself. The | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
latest from our crime correspondent. The flowers and tributes are still | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
outside Number 11 on Sheridan way today. The inquest into the death | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
of the Smith family begins. The 15 minute hearing at Leeds coroner's | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
court was to formally establish the identities of the four members of | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
the Smith family and how they died at their home in Pudsey on the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
weekend of December 10th and December 11th. Paul Taylor, the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
detective in charge of the murder investigation explains to the | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
coroner has the baby died from stab wounds to his neck, his brother | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
from suffocation and his mother stabbed in the chest and his father, | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Richard Smith, later from inhaling smoke and fire gases. The four | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
bodies were discovered lines together on Abed in the main | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
bedroom of the family home after the police and relatives were | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
forced to break-in on the afternoon of Sunday 12th December this month. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
The police made it clear they were not looking for anybody else in the | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
murder investigation. It's is a's opening of the inquest into the | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
deaths of the family allows their funerals to take place shortly. The | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
full inquest to determine the exact reasons behind this terrible | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
tragedy will probably be many months away. | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Later run a programme, we are looking at the incredible pictures | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
that you have sent us of what I think is a relatively strange cloud | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
formation, but we have had hundreds of photographs in. Also tonight: | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Cannot be bothered cooking? The business taking the strain for you | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
on Christmas Day. A man has been arrested after | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
threatening to set himself on fire and blow his own house up. The | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
drama happened in the North Yorkshire village of Hellifield | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
between Skipton and settle in Yorkshire. The road had to be | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
closed and the area was evacuated. They say that nothing ever happens | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
in Hellifield, but overnight, a drama that brought fear and | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
disruption to the village. The police came to this house at | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
10:30pm last night after reports a man wanted to harm himself. He | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
threatened to blow up his house. The police evacuated nearby homes | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
and the busy roads had to be closed for 10 hours. The neighbours were | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
too upset to speak to us on, to date, but they said that the man | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
that live that this house had history of mental health problems. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
There were fears that he had petrol canisters and was using the gas | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
supply to cause and an explosion. The neighbours were confused about | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
what was going on and a shopkeeper had said they heard there was a gas | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
leak. When we looked at this morning, there were police with | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
riot gear wandering up and down the road. It was more than just a gas | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
leak. The car park was full of fire engines, an ambulance, it was a bit | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
more sinister than a gas leak or crash. Specially-trained police | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
negotiators spent the night persuading the man to give himself | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
up. As the gas engineers and fire crews did by in case there was an | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
explosion. The main road was closed, and number of houses were evacuated, | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
there was considerable upset to the people of Hellifield. Was there a | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
bit of an over-reaction to the incident? The reaction was | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
appropriate because we needed to get all of the information to make | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
sure that the actions would resolve the situation. It would appear that | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
this man did not have the means to cause a large scale exposing, but | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
we had to respond accordingly to the threat. Forensic teams were in | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
the property removing items from the house to be taken away for | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
examination. Meanwhile, neighbours that spent some of the night | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
speaking in a local school have been retired -- sleeping in a local | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
school has returned home. Police are appealing for help in | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
capturing a high risk registered sex offender that has left a bail | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
hostel in Dewsbury. The man is believed to have links to the | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
punter fact airy and people want him to be reported on 999. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Shoppers and hurried it will get free parking on Christmas Eve. | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Northern power grids the electricity company will pay for | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
her 1200 spaces as a way of saying sorry for a power cut last weekend. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Homes and businesses were left without electricity for up to six | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
hours on a very busy traditional Saturday afternoon. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
We spend lots of time rushing around at this time of the year, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
but what if it could be put to good use to par mobile phones and change | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
the iPod. The more you rush around, the more power that you get. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Scientists find they may have found a way to harness energy from | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
footsteps travelling in and out of the railway station. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
It is a typical rush-hour at York railway station. Thousands of | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
commuters are hurrying to get to their next destination. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Approximately 11 million people pass through this train station | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
every single year. With every step they take they generate three to | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
six watts of electricity. That is energy that is wasted. What of that | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
energy could be collected in some way. It could be used to para | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
display screens, Aldi Assistance and even the lights. -- sound | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
systems and even the lighting. It is something the University of fog | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
has spent years working on. Had could re-use humans in the train | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
station to generate energy? As you can see, there are lots of people | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
moving around, and if we can take some of their energy and put it all | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
together, we can get a usable and added energy and you do not be to | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
take much. What is the downfall? Do you need a constant foot for? | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
can store energy? You can't use it when there are less people around. | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
One man that saw the potential of human energy was Trevor Baylis, | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
famous for inventing the wind-up radio. Jim worked with this in | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
venture to develop the issue that could charge a mobile phone as he | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
walked? This is a prototype with the device fits in your shoe and | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
every time you compress it, when you take a step, you store energy | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
and when you release it, it generates electrical power. You can | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
charge a mobile phone, iPod, press alike electronic devices. Sadly | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
this was all cancelled after 9/11, because people would look like a | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
terrorist with a device in your shoe. A company in Israel uses | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
vibrations from passing cars and passing trains to generate power. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Harvesting energy from movements and vibrations needs to be cost- | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
effective, but the research being carried out at the University may | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
:14:25. | :14:25. | ||
be as small step towards saving the I can assure you, there is no | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
wasted energy in this studio, at least until Paul comes in with the | :14:30. | :14:37. | |

explain what was going on in the Now, with less than a year to go to | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
the Olympics, we found out today which community projects around | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Yorkshire will benefit from lottery funding to update their facilities. | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
It's all part of the legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games. The funding | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
aims to improve community facilities and to encourage | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
grassroots sport. Shamir Masri reports. All eyes may be on the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
facilities at the various Olympic- size ahead of the Games next year | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
in London, but the focus of the lottery-funded Olympic legacy fund | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
is to breathe new life into tired- looking facilities, some of which | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
can be unappealing for sport enthusiasts, and to young people, | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
who could be the sporting stars of the future. Over �950,000 will be | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
made available for 19 project across the region. It is the first | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
of five separate ways of funding. In Yorkshire, there are 19 projects | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
valued at just under �1 million. There is one at Highgrove in | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Sheffield that is just about fixing a leaking roof which is so | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
important to the people playing sport in that area. So there will | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
be that tangible selection, and that reform not like any more | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
because the games came to London. Other recipients will be York City | :16:16. | :16:24. | |
rowing club, and that new roof for that centre in Sheffield. This | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Middleton Centre in Leeds will receive the largest amount of | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
funding in the first round, 150 doesn't pounds which will be spent | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
update in the current Changing Rooms and building a new reception | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
area. Do next wave of lottery grants will be announced in | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
February. It is hope the investment will encourage more people to take | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
up sport, but also to make use of the local facilities. The Sports | :16:52. | :16:58. | |

contention for the main award. Stephen "Rocky" Whitehead from | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Sheffield is also nominated in the Unsung Hero category. He's given | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
nearly 30 years of his life to getting young children fit while | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
teaching them about Rugby League. So good luck to him. He would | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
really deserve it. He is lovely. We were both going to start off, there | :17:30. | :17:39. | |
are! It's not every day that an unsigned band gets the creator of | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
Wallace and Gromit, to make a music video for it. Well, that's what has | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
happened to "Native and the Name" from Sheffield. Nick Park filmed it | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
all in Sheffield and the Aardman studios in Bristol where Wallace | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
and Gromit is also filmed. Today he was back in town where he spoke to | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
our reporter Emma Blackburn. It is what we'll know next Park for. -- | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
what we all know Nick Park for. His recent project has brought him to | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
:18:17. | :18:19. | ||
Sheffield, directing a music video for a local band. Native and the | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
Name are a family at, relatively unknown, but not to Nick Park, he | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
is a family friend, who loves their music, especially this track. | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
lucky enough to be asked to be on Desert Island Discs a year ago, and | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
you're asked to pick your top tunes of all time, and I included the | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
song from Joe in my top eight of all time. The biggest reaction was | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
about this song of his, so we thought we would make a video, just | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
to see what happens, really. singer, Joe Rhodes was inspired to | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
write the song after visiting a cathedral in wrong. That was just | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
out of the hustle and bustle, there was this beautiful music -- in the | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
Rome. It was about being part of this busy world, and seeing this | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
simple something special happening. How much of a challenge was it to | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
start working on this music that you're after working on animation? | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
It was different. It was just great fun. It is nice to do something | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
else than animation, which is so laborious. It was like being a | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
:20:01. | :20:03. | ||
student again. And, it was in Sheffield that Nick spent his | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
student days. He often comes back to visit, and now his own spell in | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
the city has marked this band out from the crowd. Which was the | :20:20. | :20:30. | |

grumpy one from Wallace and Gromit? White us move on! -- Let's move on. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
If you're stressed by the thought of cooking Christmas dinner for all | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
the family, spare a thought for one brave Yorkshire woman who'll be | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
getting up early on Christmas morning to cook for 30 households! | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Mary Smith, who's from Wortley in Leeds, set up a roast dinner take | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
away business this year. It's proved so popular, her customers | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
want her dinner for Christmas too. Cathy Killick's been to meet her. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
Most of us tackle it once a year, but, for Mary Smith, cooking a big | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
fat turkey has become a daily occurrence. One year ago, she was | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
working at -- working as a barmaid, when she had a eureka moment. | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
have just finished a shift, and the kids wanted them and they could not | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
be bothered making it, and I thought it would be a good seeker | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
we idea to do English roast dinners, and it has taken off from there. | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
due it is, roast dinner with all the trimmings to take away. And it | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
is going down a storm. It is fantastic, it is a brilliant idea. | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
We notice it yesterday we think it is a great idea. Probably more | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
healthy than your traditional takeaway. More filling. It is nice, | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
isn't it? Marian now employs five staff and delivers powers to local | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
businesses. And that gave her an idea for Christmas was up we have a | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
lot of elderly customers and the thought of them sitting at home not | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
eating anything on Christmas Day, it is not nice. It has just | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
escalated from there. Since one got out that many would be cooking and | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
delivering on Christmas Day, the phone has never stop ringing. | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
Myself and my partner Richard or getting a point Christmas Day, we | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
have taken pre-booked orders, and we are delivering from 12 o'clock | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
until 3 o'clock and then we will close, and hopefully, do some | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
Christmas stuff for ourselves! two-course special, fit for a king, | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
will be delivered in time for the Queen's Speech. Turkey will be | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
:22:44. | :22:47. | ||
costing �15. As for Mary herself, she will be having stick -- steak. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Do you want to try some? I have never had Christmas dinner that | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
Yorkshire puddings before. I am going to have one, after the | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
programme. Paul, I don't know if you have ever had this kind of | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
response about an event, about a happening. If you look over your | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
shoulder, it looks bizarre, this cloud. It is one of the most | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
spectacular displays of lenticular clouds. It is all Latin names but | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
it is at different levels and the at this tour. One of the best | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
displays I have ever seen. Usually, the best ones are over very big | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
mountain ranges like the Pyrenees and the arts. It is quite rare to | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
get such beautiful clouds over a range of hills like the Pennines. | :23:49. | :23:59. | |

Amanda Harper has been looking at some of the best pictures. MUSIC: | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
:24:15. | :24:49. | ||
Amazing. What causes them? You have warm air coming over the Pennines, | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
and that is hitting the atmosphere, and it sets up a standing wave. | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
Then you get close developing and they just sit there, and it is the | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
most common explanation for UFO sightings across the world. When | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
the lighting is at dusk, sometimes you can be conned into thinking | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:29. | ||
they are you therefores. -- UFOs. All of these pictures have been | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
coming in. The Twitter account has been inundated with pictures. You | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
have obviously had a lot of time on your hands this afternoon! We are | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
very grateful. We have had hundreds of pictures of these spectacular | :25:44. | :25:53. | |
No lenticular close tomorrow, just wet and windy weather spreading | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
from the West. -- clouds. We have that active, cold front pushing in | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
from the West. We're still on course for one of the mildest | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
Christmas Days for many years. It might go up to 13 Celsius on | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
Christmas afternoon. These clouds are now fading, as the breeze picks | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
up. Overnight, those clear skies will Bill in. Cloud increasing, | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
some drizzle over the tops, a windy night, and mild, temperatures | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
around eight Celsius. The Sun will rise in the morning, thank goodness | :26:37. | :26:47. | |

Most of us, off to a dry start. Some drizzle then moving in, that | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
active weather system bringing wet and windy weather from the West. It | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
will clear from the West, with some sleet possible over the tops of the | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
hills. Later, there will be a definite chill in the air. We're | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
looking at temperatures of between 9-ten Celsius. 11 Celsius possible | :27:17. | :27:26. | |
