dual fuel customers will go up by more than 9%. That is all from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Thursday's Look North. Tonight, as the price of gas rises | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
again, a controversial gas pipeline through one of our national parks, | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
which could power 75,000 homes, gets the go`ahead. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
We'll report from the North York Moors in a moment. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Also tonight: North Yorkshire Police hunt for the hoax caller who led | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
dozens of armed police to close off the centre of Knaresborough. | :00:25. | :00:39. | |
Every single second, I wake up and I think is unbelievable. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
And autumn's well and truly arrived. We take a walk in the woods amongst | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
the best berries seen in more than a decade. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Nice to see some blue sky on the river. What is the next few days | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
looking like? Join me later to find out. | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
A gas and pipeline scheme which could power 75,000 homes has been | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
given the go`ahead for the North York Moors. Developers say the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
scheme was prompted by the dramatic rises in the cost of energy. Only | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
this morning, British Gas hiked its prices by just over 10% for | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
electricity, and for gas there was a rise of over 8%. And last week SSE | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
announced an 8.2% rise in its gas and electricity prices. | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
The announcement gives the go`ahead to a project that would be on the | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
site of a mothballed gasfield. Campaigners says it's just the | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
latest in a series of planned developments which could destroy our | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
protected landscape. A potash mine is planned south of | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Whitby, although that has been delayed. Meanwhile, there are fears | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
the view of Roseberry Topping following applications for five wind | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
turbines near Great Ayton. But with all the plans for energy sources, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
there's clearly a demand. Danni Hewson reports on the the latest | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
scheme set to power our homes. It is easy to see why our national | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
parks are protected. But they also have resources that we need. Miles | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
of windy hillsides, and minerals beneath our feet. And for years, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
when the circumstances have been judged exceptional, drilling for gas | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
in the national park has been allowed. In fact, the site and its | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
`` discussion today was opened in the 1960s. Flooding meant that | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
extracting natural gas from here became impossible. Now need | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
technology has changed that. The company that owns it believes gas | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
here could power over 75,000 homes for at least the next decade. Today, | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
the National Park authority gave it and the pipeline that would link it | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
to a gas plant in the south the go`ahead. But does this opened the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
floodgates to drilling in the national park? Does it bring the | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
controversial fracking process, the extraction of shale gas, one step | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
closer? That is a different ball game. I don't think we consider that | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
approvals are a consent to shale gas. It is a different kind of | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
mining. There are more applications. We will have to look at that if it | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
comes. At environmentalists believe it is a slippery slope, that | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
decisions like the one today bring about a death by 1000 cuts. No | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
circumstances exceptional enough. Do we want to turn our National Park, a | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
real asset, into an industrial site for developers? We have seen several | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
areas that demean the National Park in recent years. The authority says | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
that it protects existing jobs and create new ones as well as | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
potentially adding supplies to our gas network. The hope is that it | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
could lead to a drop in prices for the consumer. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
We've had lots of comments about this on our Facebook page. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
Simon Midgley is in favour. He says: Alexander Darracott isn't convinced. | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
He says: And you can keep your comments | :04:15. | :04:42. | |

The pizza shop workers detained by armed officers in a massive police | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
anti`terror operation in Knaresborough say they're | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
considering legal action. The men were victims of a hoax call to | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
police, and say they've been scared and humiliated by the incident. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
North Yorkshire Police say they're now trying to find out who's behind | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
the hoax which led to the town centre being sealed off for four | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
hours last night. Ian White reports. The men were not terrorists. Their | :05:17. | :05:36. | |
workers at a local pizza shop. They are victims of a hoax call to | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
police. For the shop owner, it was a frightening and humility experience. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
That admitted the police station. They searched all over my body. `` | :05:48. | :06:00. | |
they took me to the police station. It was uncomfortable, to be honest. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Today, no apology from North Yorkshire police. They say the men | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
were not arrested but were really `` merely stops to help with enquiries. | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
We were given a threat. They came across the men. They do take deep `` | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
detained them for their own safety. The drama unfolded outside the shop | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
on the high street. You can see, on a normal day, how congested this | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
street is. Imagine what it was like last night with armed police | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
everywhere. 300 children at a local school were locked inside the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
building for their own safety. It was difficult for the police to tell | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
us what was going on. There was some anxiety. People were pretty calm. We | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
locked the doors and put the students into one central area. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Local people posted messages of support through the shop's letterbox | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
and on social media sites. We don't like to see guns in Knaresborough. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
It appears to be one evil hoaxer trying to have an attack. The police | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
have launched an investigation to find who is responsible for the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
hoax. The shop workers say they are seeking legal advice. Quite an | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
alarming experience for the normally tranquil town of Knaresborough. We | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
are glad... Welby police, they are it. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
Later on Look North: Never short of an opinion ` Godfrey Bloom launches | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
his autobiography and reveals he's been asked onto Strictly! | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
A former West Yorkshire Police officer has told the BBC that it was | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
common knowledge in the force that Jimmy Savile liked young girls. He | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
claims he came across Savile trying to seduce an underage girl in 1965. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
The ex`policeman, who didn't want to appear on camera, has been speaking | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
to our correspondent Danny Savage, who joins us from Roundhay Park in | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Leeds now. What did this officer have to say? The allegations he is | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
making go back nearly 50 years. The reason we are here this evening is | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
that his key point, the key claim, happened in this area. He said he | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
was on patrol one evening in 1965 when he came around this area and | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
noticed Jimmy Savile's Rolls`Royce parked in a secluded spot. These are | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
the exact words he said to me today. Because he wants to remain anonymous | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
we have voiced them with of my colleagues. He was sat in the driver | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
seat and was talking to a young lady. She looked like Twiggy. I | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
couldn't tell her age. She was perhaps 15 or 16. I said, what is | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
the matter, what are you doing up here? He said, we are fine, aren't | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
we? We're waiting for 12 o'clock, son. Why? Because it is her birthday | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
tomorrow. She is 16. He winked at me. This was 50 years ago. Attitudes | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
were different then. Why has the officer chose an to speak out? I | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
think he feels strongly that he doesn't want people to think that | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
police were knowingly protecting Jimmy Savile knowing that he was | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
young children. That is not the case. If he was abusing young | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
children, they say they would have done something about it and arrested | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
him. They said that back in the 60s it was more socially acceptable for | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
older men to be having relationships with teenage girls. This is what he | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
said. If you asked any policemen in Leeds in the 1960s and that Jimmy | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Savile, they would all have known he liked 15`year`old girls. It was | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
absolutely common knowledge that Jimmy liked them young. He was | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
always saying with girls, under 18 but not under 15. The police have | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
held an internal investigation. They say there was no evidence of | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
wrongdoing. Today they have said they would like to speak to this | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
former police officer. The yes, they have asked him to come forward and | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
contact them. This officer actually contacted the media himself | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
yesterday. I'm sure he's aware that the police will want to talk to him. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Whether he does or not, that is up to him. There is another | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
investigation by the IPCC into another officer who had contact with | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Jimmy Savile, made a phone call on his behalf. This is not going away | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
for Westport `` West Yorkshire Police. They still have questions to | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
answer and people will soon be asking more questions. | :10:50. | :11:07. | |
In some of the rest of the day's news, a school in Leeds that was | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
allowing pupils aged between 11 and 16 to smoke in the playground to | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
prevent them playing truant has been told it must stop the practice. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Elemete Central School in Roundhay looks after 75 children with | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
emotional and behaviour problems. Leeds City Council say they took | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
action as soon as they became aware of the issue and are confident it | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
has now stopped. A post`mortem's been carried out on | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
the man who was killed in a machete attack in Rotherham. It confirmed | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
that he died of multiple stab wounds. 40`year`old Parvaiz Iqbal | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
was found in his shop in Eastwood last Tuesday, along with another man | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
who'd been seriously injured. A 27`year`old has been arrested on | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
suspicion of his murder. Protestors have been gathering in | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
Leeds to demonstrate against the city's Trolleybus scheme. They're | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
angry about plans to demolish 20 buildings between Headingley and the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
city centre to make way for the electric bus project. The council | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
says the scheme will cut congestion, but some shop keepers along the | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
route say they're worried it's going to be bad for business. It is likely | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
there will be disruption. We have development plans in the process for | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
the whole building. That is to actually grow the business. We have | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
concerns about the trolley bus scheme in the sense that if you look | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
at other areas in other cities where this has taken place, the general | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
feeling is it doesn't bring many positives. | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
A police officer from North Yorkshire is in the running for a | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
top award after foiling an armed robbery. PC Sara Widdrington has | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
been in London for the finals of this year's Police Bravery Awards. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
PC Widdrington was off duty and out shopping when she tackled an armed | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
robber at a Tesco store in Scarborough. She'll find out later | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
if she's won the top prize. Significant steps have been taken to | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
improve the army's Warrior vehicles in the wake of the deaths of six | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
soldiers in Afghanistan, a coroner said today. But the inquest heard | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
that no other vehicle would have been able to withstand the blast. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
The coroner ruled the soldiers, all from the Yorkshire Regiment's third | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Battalion, were unlawfully killed. Dan Johnson's been at the inquest in | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
Oxford. The 6th of March, 2012, was one of the darkest days of modern | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
times for the British Army. It left the families of six young men | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
devastated. They have been here at Oxford Coroner's Court listening to | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
two days of evidence. Although they all accepted the verdict, there has | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
been some angry reaction from some of the families. To lose your child | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
is as painful as losing your own life. The torture is that you will | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
live on. Our servicemen and women will continue to die needlessly as | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
long as politicians, who our lives, value money more than the lives of | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
our sons and daughters. Strong words from one grieving mother. Six | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
families came here from `` to find out how their loved ones died. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Sergeant Nigel Coupe, Jake Harley, pirate Anton Frampton, Private Chris | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Kershaw, Private Daniel Wade and private Daniel Wilford. They were | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
all travelling in a Warrior vehicle when it hit a pressure operated bomb | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
varied by insurgents. The explosion through the vehicle over, rupturing | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
the fuel champ `` pomp. Soldiers behind rehear ammunition exploding | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
but there was nothing they could do. I would like to pay a tribute to the | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
six soldiers who lost their lives. The six men paid the ultimate | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
sacrifice while serving their country abroad, and in trying to | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
deliver a better future for the people of Afghanistan. It was the | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
single biggest loss of life British forces have suffered in Afghanistan. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
The families of the six men have had a difficult 18 months. For some, the | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
inquest is now bring a certain degree of closure. Obviously nothing | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
can bring Anton back. We are glad not to have some answers around his | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
death. We can begin to rebuild our lives while keeping Anton in our | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
memories and our hearts. But many of the details have been unbearable. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Chris Kershaw was not even supposed to be on the patrol. He took the | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
place of another soldier at the last`minute. His mother feels she | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
has not had enough support. At times I have felt isolated and alone. Too | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
often, mothers are ignored or sidelined in this process. I cannot | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
understand why. The families wanted answers, but there were lessons to | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
be learned, too, the hope that loss of life on this scale will never be | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
repeated. Although the coroner didn't make any formal | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
recommendations today, he has sought reassurance from the MOD that a | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
programme to improve the strength of the fuel tanks on the Warriors will | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
be completed in the next couple of months. Work to upgrade the armour | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
plating on the vehicles has also been undertaken by the army. They | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
say they are doing all they can to make the vehicles as stable as | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
possible, but ultimately the deaths were down to the actions of | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
insurgents in Afghanistan. Yesterday we had some good news on | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
the jobs front, as unemployment in Yorkshire fell. But we still have | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
the third highest rate in the country, and just under 20% of those | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
unemployed in Yorkshire are aged between 18 and 24. Six months ago we | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
met three young people from Wakefield, Goldthorpe and York ` | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
Natalie Hick, Chris Smith and Timothy Hall. They were all | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
searching for work and getting nowhere. Now, as Heidi Tomlinson | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
reports, it's fair to say their lives have changed dramatically. | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
The start of a busy shift on the assembly line. Chris Smith has found | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
work in his hometown of Goldthorpe. The company makes electrical | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
components for cars. Customers include BMW, Audi and Jaguar. I am | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
making the driver side electric window switches and side mirror | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
switches. The work is full`time and of the night shifts, but it is a | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
steady income and the 24`year`old, who was unemployed for six months, | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
is ambitious. We have got chances to go abroad for a few months, work in | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
Germany. There is a lot of prospects. It is a good company to | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
begin. I am happy to be in it. No more weekly visits to the job centre | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
for Chris. It is the same story for all three young people we have been | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
following since May. Timothy Hall is now an apprentice film`maker in | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Belgium. As for despondent Natalie Hick, she has never been busier. | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
Natalie has found work at train station cafes in Wakefield and | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Huddersfield. Six days a week, sometimes double shifts. Searching | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
for a job is a distant memory. I could sit at home all day, or apply | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
for jobs all day getting nothing back. Now I was up at 4am this | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
morning and working until six o'clock. You don't get a spare | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
minute. But it pays off. Back in Goldthorpe, quizzes welcomed home | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
after a long day. His ways makes family life easier. `` his wages. It | :18:30. | :18:39. | |
is good to know my partner is out there working for the family. I can | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
go out every week and have a luxury in life. He has done so well. I am | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
proud of him as my partner. And Chris is finally proud to call | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
himself the breadwinner. Good luck to them. | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
Before seven o'clock we hear from the controversial MEP Godfrey Bloom. | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
Plus, the ultimate in snowboarding ` meet one of the best in Britain | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
who's moved to Yorkshire ahead of her latest Olympic attempt. | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
When he decided to stand down as an MEP, many predicted he'd continue to | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
hog the limelight. And today Godfrey Bloom did just that. He launched his | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
autobiography and let slip he's been approached for Strictly come Dancing | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
and I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here. So far he's playing hard to | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
get and has turned the programmes down. So is he really leaving | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
politics for good? Our political editor, Len Tingle, has the inside | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
track. Controversial MEP Godfrey Bloom | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
should have knocked his autobiography at last month's UKIP | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
conference. Instead, this happen. You are a disgrace! Four weeks | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
later, a delay launch. The now independent member of the European | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
Parliament revealed he had hurriedly added a new chapter explaining that | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
brush with the press and why he had earlier said that British foreign | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
aid should not go to countries like Bongo Bongo land. There is a | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
metropolitan elite bubble who say, you are out of date. It is not how | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
ordinary people, in my experience, seal. They don't feel like that. But | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
UKIP leaders didn't brush the incident off so lightly. That is why | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
he is now an independent MEP. So, what of the future for the outspoken | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
MEP? I have been asked to be on Strictly Come Dancing. All sorts of | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
things. I shan't be doing them. I don't quite know what is going to be | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
happening next week. Lord knows what might be happening by next June. One | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
thing he is convinced of, it would be the last we have heard from the | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
outspoken former Army officer who is donating profits from his | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
autobiography to a military charity. I guarantee he will pop up on TV. | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
How about this for a high adrenalin sport? This is what the racers see | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
when they take part in what's called Snowboard Cross. Competitors reach | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
speeds of up to 40mph on a course designed to push their strength and | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
balance to the limit. Well, one of the best in Britain is Zoe Jillings. | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
She's been to two previous Winter Olympics and has moved to Yorkshire | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
to improve her chances third time around. Ian Bucknell reports. The | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
relatively gentle slope in Castleford provides light exercise | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
for Zoe Jillings. She is more used to the steep runs the Alps stop but | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
this was a chance for a bit of practice in front of the cameras | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
before her snowboard racing season gets underway. It is a bit smaller | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
in here full study can't get up as much speed. But at least it is not | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
raining or snowing. Zoe is from the Isle of Man but moved to Leeds a | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
couple of years ago with one of her coaches, who was born in Yorkshire. | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
Leads is a great place. It is a great way of life. Zoe is a | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
full`time athlete. She spends a lot of time in the gym. Being able to | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
live in a place you can live and enjoy, Leeds is great for that. She | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
flies to Austria tomorrow to train for the World Cup in December. | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
Beyond that is her main focus. The Winter Olympics. For the past couple | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
of seasons, I have beaten everybody who is there. So it is possible. It | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
is about getting my best game on the day and beating all the goals on the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
same day! A bit of luck never does any harm. Just got to do what I can | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
on the day. The games will be her third order books for Great Britain | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
in snowboard cross. She has previously finished 15th and eight. | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
She is getting closer. It could be third time lucky. | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
You have done a bit of that in your time, haven't you? Yes. Slowly | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
calming down. If you've managed to get outside | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
today, lucky you. It's been absolutely gorgeous. Just the day | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
for a spot of leaf kicking in the woods. But a lovely autumn walk with | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
one of these could also help scientists looking at climate | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
change. It's a survey chart from a project called Nature's Calendar. | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
It's on the web and they want you to get involved. Helpers have already | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
established it's been a bumper year for berries, as Cathy Killick | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
explains. It is that time of year when nature | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
puts on a show. And if the sun comes out, what a bonus. I walking Nigro | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
Thorpe with Sian from the Woodland trust. She needs your help with the | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
advancing winter. She is here to show me how. Oh, lovely. The woods | :24:13. | :24:24. | |
are consulate changing with the seasons. We're here to charge those | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
changes. `` constantly changing. We're here to chart those changes. I | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
have printed some survey forms from the nature's calendar website. Now | :24:35. | :24:46. | |
we are looking for berries. Fantastic crop up there. Shall we | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
feel in the survey? You could record a score for the amount of fruit. | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
Maybe a three for that one. Great. Let's see what we can find. Results | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
so far have revealed an abundance of berries this year. We're having the | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
most bumper crop of berries we have had in ten years. It is fantastic | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
year for all kinds of Aries. That is because we have had a lovely summer. | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
The data helps scientists monitor climate change. But they need as | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
much as possible so they need your help to gather it. The woods are a | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
pleasure only enhanced by helping to save the planet, too. | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
The beautiful place to be on it days like today. Bumper crops. A harsh | :25:41. | :25:50. | |
winter? Kent's answer to build for the said | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
there are so many signs in the natural world. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Let me show you where three pictures have come in. A bit of Brian is | :26:03. | :26:16. | |
there. Look at that blue sky. What a tonic. One of my favourite parts of | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
Yorkshire there. Keep your pictures coming in. I hope you enjoyed the | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
blue sky because tomorrow is another drab sort of day. Some patchy rain | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
later, courtesy of this next Atlantic weather system. If you like | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
showers brushed into West Yorkshire this morning. Other than that, a lot | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
of blue sky. We start the evening on a mostly fine note. `` a few | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
isolated showers. The fault could be pretty dense. The usual suspects. | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
Elsewhere, there could be a bit of mist, Merck and fog. Lowest | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
temperatures down to six Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at | :27:07. | :27:17. | |
around 7.39. A great start. `` grey start. It will gradually clear up. | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
There could be some drizzle for a time. Most of us will be mostly | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
dry. Later, patchy rain extends from the South West. Brightness is at a | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
premium. The best chance is at the coast. Top afternoon temperatures | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
