issue that we all hope we will never have to face. The Yorkshire man | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
paralysed for over 20 years once a doctor to be allowed to take his | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
life. My wheel has gone, I am worn down, worn out. I'm not getting any | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
younger. I am not convinced any doctor would want to be involved. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
I'm not sure if I would, really, to do that final act. Also, what the | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
weather has done to Yorkshire because I go gardening industry. One | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
West Yorkshire centre has had to dump a fifth of stock because people | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
are not panting. And a proud day for teenagers as they end our stage in | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
their army training in Yorkshire. Well, some ferocious wind first | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
thing this morning. These wind turbines have been kept busy. What | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
:01:05. | :01:12. | ||
are the next five days looking like? take the life of someone who wants | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
to die? Paul Lamb from Pudsey has been severely paralysed since a car | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
crash 23 years ago. He is in constant pain and wants to change | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
the law to give him the power to decide whether or not he should | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
continue to live. His case goes beyond assisted suicide. His | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
paralysis is so severe that he cannot take the final steps to kill | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
himself. Today, right die campaigner Debbie Purdy and one Yorkshire | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Doctor have told us that his wishes go too far. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
By his own admission, it is a painful and monotonous existence. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Paul Lamb from Leeds is confined to a wheelchair with no function in any | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
of his limbs apart from a little movement in his right hand. It is a | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
life he says he no longer wants to live. It's horrendous. I am scared | :02:01. | :02:11. | |
:02:11. | :02:14. | ||
to death. Of this getting worse. Of me just ending up... Dosed up to the | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
eyeballs. Paul, now 57, is taking up the button of the late Tony | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
McClinton, who suffered locked in syndrome after a catastrophic stroke | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
in 2005. He died last August after losing his legal battle to establish | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
the right to a doctor assisted death. In March, the Court of Appeal | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
granted an order allowing Paul Lamb, who has waived his right to | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
anonymity, to take over his claims. His case is due to be heard next | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
month. My will has gone. I am not getting any younger. I would badly | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
like to see the law changed. In the absence of legislation on assisted | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
dying, it is hoped that the legal case will stimulate further debate. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
But one medical expert thinks that doctors might be reluctant to take | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
on the responsibility. You would probably find that there are | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
particular doctors that would be happy to be involved in it. They | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
would have two be part of the system that happened. I'm not convinced | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
every single doctor would want to be involved. I don't know if I would, | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
really, to do that final act, I don't know if I could do that. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Debbie Purdy from Bradford, who has multiple sclerosis and made legal | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
history by winning her battle to have the law on assisted suicide | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
clarified, says that individuals, not doctors, should be allowed to | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
make their own choice. I would not make somebody else responsible for | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
my death. It would have to be my decision, and also if you change | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:01. | ||
your mind, it is much harder to suck a lethal poison up than to ask a | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
doctor to inject you. And that means that you have got until the final | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
possible moment to change your mind. Paul used to successfully trained | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
greyhounds, enjoying life to the full. He says that his days now | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
consist of being fed and watered. In England and Wales it is an offence | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
to encourage or assist a suicide or suicide attempt. For Paul, any | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
change to the law cannot come soon enough. | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Paul Lamb's lawyer, Saimo Chahal, also represented Debbie Purdy in her | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
battle to get the law clarified. She joins us from London. Does this not | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
go too far? Debbie Purdy believes it does and she has been campaigning | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
for many years. Well, Paul Lamb is a different person from Debbie Purdy. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
There are many other people in Paul Lamb's situation. He feels, | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
certainly, that this is something that he wants. He is not alone in | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
this wish. Several people are standing behind Paul Lamb, who want | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
exactly this right to be clarified and given to them. It is a lot to | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
ask a doctor, to take someone's life. It goes against everything | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
they stand for, doesn't it? A doctor has a number of duties, one is to | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
relieve and -- unbearable pain. They have said in the past that their | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
life consists of unbearable pain. It is part of the Hippocratic oath to | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
relieve that pain. I take your point, but a lot of people might | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
argue it sets a dangerous precedent to allow a doctor to have the power | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
to kill? Only doctors who wanted to participate in such a scheme would | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
have to do so. So it's not something that could be imposed on doctors | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
that do not wish to participate. That is certainly the situation in | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
other countries, where assisted suicide or voluntary euthanasia has | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
been legalised. How far are you and Paul willing to take this through | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
the legal system? I act as his lawyer, I act on behalf of cases | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
that want to pursue cases, it is not my personal case. Always willing to | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
take it all the way. The case is currently at the Court of appeals | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
stage. It may go back to the High Court to decide on the fact and it | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
may go to the Supreme Court if necessary. I think that Paul is | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
willing to go all the way, even to the European Court, to get the law | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
clarified. Thank you very much. Breaking news about children's heart | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
surgery at Leeds General Infirmary. The NHS plans to appeal a High Court | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
ruling that the decision was unlawful. Jamie Coulson joins us | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
now. Another twist in this saga. Can you explain where we are? Three | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
weeks ago, a High Court judge quashed a decision that would have | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
seen children's heart surgery come to an end in Leeds, Leicester and | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
the Royal Brompton. She identified problems that she said went beyond | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
the technical and were fundamental. She refused leave to appeal, saying | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
she did not think there was a realistic prospect of success. That | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
is not the end of the process and there are other avenues available to | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
appeal the decision, and that is where we find ourselves today. NHS | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
England have said it's important to deliver change as quickly as | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
possible. They say they want to keep all of their options open, which | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
includes waiting for details of an independent report that is due to | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
come out at the end of this month. But they have also been advised that | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
there are good grounds for an appeal and this application has now been | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
submitted to the Court of Appeal. We have had some reaction from Stuart | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Andrew, the MP for Pudsey, a staunch campaigner to keep the unit open. He | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
says he's very disappointed to learn that NHS England have decided to | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
appeal a High Court judgement and he says he hopes he will have an early | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
resolution to the dispute with minimal cost to the taxpayer. What | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
NHS England are doing is seeking leave to appeal. There is no | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
guarantee they will be allowed to do it. Coming up on look North, Harry | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
has been finding out how gardeners can cope with the late spring. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
is how I get dressed up when I am gardening, which explains why I am | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
not very good X! . Our expert will tell us why we should not get | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
worried, just get cracking. Insurance company Aviva, which has a | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
base in York, has announced 2000 jobs are to go. Most of the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
redundancies will be in the UK within the next six months. It is | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
about 6% of the workforce. It is unclear how many posts in York are | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
under threat. The company also says that from next year, redundancy pay | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
will be reduced. A man found dead in Leeds on Tuesday died just metres | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
from where his son lay sleeping. 21-year-old Jordan Stapleton was | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest in what is thought to have | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
been a targeted killing. Police have also released a 999 call reporting | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
:09:23. | :09:36. | ||
the shooting made from a phone box who know Jordan and could give us a | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
bit about his background and his family and friends. Anybody that has | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
any grievances against him, anyone that would want to harm him. I feel | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
like the answer would probably be on this estate somewhere. North | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Yorkshire police have selected a new chief constable. Dave Jones is | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
currently an assistant chief constable in Northern Ireland. He | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
will replace Grahame Maxwell, who retired last year. He is the first | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
appointment of Commissioner Julia Mulligan. It must be approved by the | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
police and crime panel next Thursday. Dave Jones is currently | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
serving in Northern Ireland. As you can probably imagine, in Northern | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
Ireland they have a real focus on community policing. I wanted to make | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
sure that we had somebody like that. He served in Greater | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Manchester as head of crime, so he has a vast amount of experience in | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
dealing with serious crimes. strong winds have been causing | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
problems across Yorkshire. Some flights were affected at Leeds | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
Bradford airport. It was a wobbly landing for one aircraft earlier | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
today. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. Police have had to cope not part of | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Leeds city centre at the part of the Plaza hotel was damaged. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
The Rugby football league has expressed surprise over plans to | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
bring speedway back to Odsal Stadium. In its heyday, Bradford | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
attracted big crowds. But racing stopped their 16 years ago. A | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
planning application has been submitted to the council to bring it | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
back. The RFL, which owns the ground, says it had no contact from | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
anyone about the scheme. A jury has heard how severely | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
disabled patients were assaulted, abused and tormented by staff at a | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
day centre near Doncaster. Former co-workers from the Solar Centre | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
have gone on trial today. There are more than 50 charges relating to | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
incidents involving 17 different patients. Our crime correspondent | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
has this. At the Solar Centre in Doncaster, | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
two years of alleged ill-treatment of daycare patients by three former | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
care assistants and a physiotherapist. They were said to | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
have an atmosphere of intimidation and bullying, which upset other | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
staff who felt unable to speak out. On trial, James Hynes, with 22 | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
charges, Susan Murphy with 20 two, physiotherapist Michael Barnard with | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
seven accusations and Julie Burch, three charges. All of the charges | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
are denied. Sheffield Crown Court has heard allegations of beatings, | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
punching, hitting, rough treatment and, in one case, allegedly a | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
patient being locked in a cupboard. 52 charges in all. The accusations | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
dated back to a period between January 2005 and March 2007. The | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Solar Centre, here in the grounds of Saint Catherine 's Hospital, caters | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
for people with severe mental and physical disabilities. 17 of them, | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
some blind and all unable to have given evidence or to have stood up | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
to their alleged aggressors, were listed as the victims. It had been, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
according to the prosecution, two years of physical assaults, threats | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
and degrading treatment by the former co- accused. James Hynes is | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
alleged to have boasted about giving one patient a good hiding because he | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
had been aggressive. Susan Murphy, to have hit a 51-year-old woman for | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
ripping up a magazine. After the opening of the prosecution case at | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:17. | ||
Sheffield Crown Court, witnesses had delayed spring have proved | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
devastating for the gardening industry in Yorkshire. There has | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
been almost a drop of 50% in sales of outdoor plants. One of the | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
country's largest suppliers in North Yorkshire has told look North that | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
customers simply are not buying. They have seen sales fall by 60% | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
compared to last year and another nursery in West Yorkshire has had to | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
throw away 20% of its stock. These are plants that would normally fly | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
off the shelves. Danny Carpenter has the story. | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
In gardening terms, we are already into late spring. The early flowers | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
have come and gone, but these have only gone to the compost heap. They | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
are among thousands of unsold plants in a 13 month cycle of bad weather. | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
According to records kept up this nursery, just four dry weekends in | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
12 months. Two of those were in December. We have been battling | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
mother nature for almost a year. It is a good question, how much longer | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
can it go on? Luckily, we don't have the level of debt that some | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
horticultural as Mrs do. We should be able to ride the storm, but we | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
are desperate for customers to come back out. It's the same story all | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
over Yorkshire. In Richmond, this nursery is one of the biggest. It | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
supplies to garden centres all over the UK. The customers are not | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
selling, so they are not selling. Trade is down by 60%. It has never | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
been as bad as this. The last time that march was not a very good month | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
would be in 2005. Certainly not since then. People have been saying | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
they are desperate to get out and start doing anything in their | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
greenhouses and garden. And they can't with snow on the ground. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
and his team can still produce plenty of stock. 100,000 flowers in | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
a normal year. The problem is, nobody has been able to plant. The | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
soil is soaking, the nights are cold. A washout summer followed by a | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
freezing winter. The gardeners have stayed indoors. Every time the | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
weather does take a turn, it takes a turn for the worse. This is the | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
damage from last night's wind. More stock ruined. It's the third time | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
this week. Professional growers are eternal optimists. But turnover is | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
�100,000 down. Sales of firewood and pet food are keeping them going. But | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:53. | ||
without a bit of help from the What about gardeners themselves? | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
Gary has been to see Radio Leeds's gardening guru to see if he can | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
help. I know that you are an expert gardener, have you had any problems | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
this year? Everybody says that we are weak spine. Is that the case? | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
Are probably three weeks. -- weeks behind. We have to try and get that | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
weather right in May. Things like potatoes, they should have gone in | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
on Good Friday, traditional potato planting day. Could not do it | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
because the weather was so bad. I nipped into the greenhouse and put a | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
view into pots. I got them growing, I'm going to plant them next week. | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
I'll be in front. So you can be in front as well. This is the edible | :16:40. | :16:44. | |

to probably flower next week. an advantage? Yes. Hopefully next | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
week we will not have frost so we should have a good crop. Flowering | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
plants, people didn't want to plant them during that cold period. There | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
was nothing to stop them planting things like pansies. A wonderful | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
primrose. Things like peas, they are just germinating. I didn't want to | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
sew them outside. That is how they would have been now, but you've done | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
it inside? We have done it inside. We would normally be having rhubarb | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
pies. They are just beginning to grow. With a bit of luck, rhubarb | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
and custard. People say you put the money on your rhubarb. You do, but I | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
:17:42. | :17:45. | ||
prefer custard estimation -- manure. Onions, get them in now. Get | :17:45. | :17:50. | |

the country from Leeds who has just been crowned Young Magician of the | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
:18:28. | :18:28. | ||
Year. Today has been a landmark for 250 teenagers who have just | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
completed their first six weeks in the Army. They have been training at | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
the Army Foundation College in Harrogate. Today was their first | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
parade in front of friends and family. After a week's lead they | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
will be back to complete basic training. It is called a passing-in | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
parade and gives these trainee soldiers a chance to show what they | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
have learned. Their families last saw them at civilians in February. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
It is quite a transformation. Six short weeks ago these young men and | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
women were raw recruits, in Army Times barely ready to lace their own | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
boots let alone perform drills. But already they are starting to look | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
the part. The sergeant's Poots set the mark for shine. Their families | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
are impressed. It's great, absolutely great. My heart was | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
thumping. It is quite difficult to contain the emotion. Very proud to | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
see my son and everyone else's sons and daughters. Transformation?Can't | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
see that yet, but I've heard that on the phone. In conversations we've | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
heard that he's changed already. weeks is just amazing. Passing the | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
parade inspection is just part of what is expected of the young | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
soldiers. In their barracks, the families get to see immaculate kit | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
kept just so. Really proud of him. He has lost a bit of weight, a | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
little bit of weight. He's still chubby in face, he's always been | :20:12. | :20:22. | |
chubby! It's just been tough. Administrating yourself. How do you | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
feel you've done? I've done quite well, it's my best and that is all I | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
can ask for. The reunions are also a chance to pose as families adjust to | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
a soldier in their midst. They are just a few weeks away from service | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
life, provided they can keep in step with the Army's expectations. A | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
proud day for those guys. You will like this, but not a lot. The likes | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
of Dynamo and Derren Brown have given the art of magic a new lease | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
of life. Certainly a far cry from pulling rabbits out of hats. A new | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
generation is breaking through as part of this revival, one of them is | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
17-year-old Sebastian Walton from Leeds. He recently won the Magic | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Circle Young Magician of the Year a word and he joins us now. How did | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
you come to win it? 17 entered, all begun magicians in Britain, and they | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
went down to the magic circle in London. I went through to the finals | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
and ended up winning it. What got you interested in this kind of | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
stuff? I went on a family holiday. Before that I was interested in card | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
tricks in high school, but when I saw someone else doing tricks to me | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
it fooled me and I thought I liked that. All of these cards are blank, | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
:22:02. | :22:09. | ||
OK? Yeah.Grab anyone you want. Anyone? Anywhere you like.You're | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
welcome. It is important that that doesn't rub off. Argue a doctor by | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
any chance? If I take your card like this and spin it, it vanishes. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
look at that. To get it back you take the card and just go one, two, | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
:22:42. | :22:42. | ||
three. And it's back!I'm going to leave it under the glass. Now, I'm | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
going to do the same thing with a different card. I'm going to write | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
:22:57. | :22:59. | ||
said in my -- Seb in my best handwriting. You can see that. All | :22:59. | :23:08. | |
right, let's just recaptured. -- recaptured. Watch closely. I'm going | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
to take the cards like this. little wiggle. Go one. How did you | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
do that? That is extraordinary. Do you have to choose your victims | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
carefully? I imagine you need a lot of charm and charisma. You get the | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
odd person, but YouTube are brilliant. It takes you around the | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
country, doesn't it? Last November I performed at the Royal Variety | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Performance after-show party. you for coming in. Here is another | :23:49. | :23:59. | |

magician. Very strong winds. Use that plane at the airport. Hi | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
Bradfield had a gust of 78 mph this morning, which is pretty | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
exceptional. We got the sand blowing off the fields in East Yorkshire | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
into North Yorkshire. You can see sand dunes in some areas. These were | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
sent by the forecaster and she thought that was a beautiful cloud. | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
Keep the pictures coming in. Let's have a look at those top wind speeds | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
from breakfast time. Some gusts of 60 mph, that is a severe gale. It | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
was a good job the trees weren't in full leaf, there would have been a | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
lot of problems if we had been three or four weeks further down the line. | :24:49. | :24:59. | |

Tomorrow it will be a damp start, it Saturday, dare I say a good day for | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
getting in the garden. There will be some patchy rain later on. There | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
will be one or two showers at the moment. They are losing their | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
intensity as they cross into South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. There | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
are some sunshine but still a strong wind, that will ease overnight as | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
rain pushes down from the North West. The temperatures will be down | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
to four degrees or five degrees across north-western parts of | :25:33. | :25:42. | |
Yorkshire. The sun rises at 5:58am. A damp start, especially for South | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Yorkshire. Further north it should quickly become dry and the skies | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
will brighten. The afternoon is quite pleasant, one or two showers | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
are possible. There will be a cool breeze in Scarborough, highs of | :25:59. | :26:04. |
