If you have heard a rumour that things will get colder and sweet, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Thank you. Hello, welcome to Friday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Tonight, a top`level row over safety on the M1 in South Yorkshire. The | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Roads Minister and the Chief Constable clash over plans to allow | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
motorists to drive along the hard shoulder. We believe that these | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
arrangements that are being proposed will be a contributory factor in a | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
serious accident, or even somebody dying on the motorway in South | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Yorkshire. We'll be live in Sheffield and find | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
out what you think of the idea. Also tonight, saving tiny lives. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Exclusive access to the medical team who transport some of Britain's most | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
fragile children to hospital. And Yorkshire Scots have come out to | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
play, the band are getting ready all for a Burns night celebration. | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
A dramatic skyline in Leeds first this morning, some unsettled weather | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
to come this weekend. Join us for the detailed forecast. | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
The top story... South Yorkshire's top police officer | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
has spoken out for the first time over plans to open the hard shoulder | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
of the M1 to traffic at all times. Chief Constable David Crompton has | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
told Look North he's worried the plans will lead to more deaths on | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the eight mile stretch east of Sheffield. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
The Roads Minister Robert Goodwill disagrees, and has been quoted | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
telling Mr Crompton to "stop pedlling nonsense". Tom Ingall joins | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
us now from Kimberworth. A rainy nights tonight, the motorway | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
is just behind me, this is a very busy stretch of the M1. 110,000 | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
vehicles everyday drive past here, so it is no wonder that the Highways | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Agency want extra capacity to reduce congestion from somewhere. The | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
trouble is, the scheme they put forward a year ago still has not got | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
support from everyone, and today, the Chief Constable said it is just | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
not safe. Three lanes of traffic, possibly | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
soon to be four. The Highways Agency have proposed a scheme to make room | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
for more even vehicles, by opening up the hard shoulder, 24 hours a | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
day. The Chief Constable is not a fan. There are managed motorway | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
schemes is another part of the country, what is wrong with these | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
proposals? They are good schemes, it is good control of the traffic flow | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
with signs every few hundred yards over the motorway, which makes it | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
very clear which lanes are in use and which lanes are not, and what | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
the speed Ltd is. There would be less controlled `` over driver | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
behaviour here. If you have an emergency, you come to stand in a | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
live running row of traffic, and if there is an accident further ahead | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
and the road gets blocked, then police, fire engines and ambulances | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
cannot get through. He's written to the Transport Minister Robert | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Goodwill hoping to force a change of direction. Instead, the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
parliamentarian is quoted as saying the policeman is peddling nonsense. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
We genuinely do not think at the end of the day they have mitigated the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
inherent dangers in the scheme they're putting forward. I am | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
surprised that the Transport Minister thinks this is nonsense, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
because I think most people would think this was a legitimate concern. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
What are the consequences of this road scheme going ahead? At some | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
point, we believe that these arrangements that are being proposed | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
will be a contributing factor in a serious accident, or even somebody | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
dying on the motorway in South Yorkshire. And that is why I took | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
the unusual decision of copying my letter that I sent to the minister | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
to the coroners in South Yorkshire as well, because I think at some | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
point in the future, they would be hearing at an inquest where this | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
would be relevant. We asked the Highways Agency for a | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
statement and they sent us to the Department for Transport, so we | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
asked them to her by the Minister's comments about peddling nonsense. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
They give it a statement this evening that said, existing, smart | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
motorway schemes have demonstrated that they can cut congestion and | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
improve a libel journey times and improve safety record and they asked | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
the Chief Constable to look at the evidence again. He is by no means | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the Army critic of the scheme here, the local Labour MP has previously | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
said it is trying to be done on the cheap and more money needs to be | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
invested to have safety improvements. She has recently | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
returned from a meeting with the Department they said they will look | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
again at the of agency lay`by is they provide and will look at | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
potentially introducing cameras when a car stops on the motorway. But at | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
the moment, there is still no consensus. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Well you've been sending in your views to us here. James Hemmings | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
says: "As someone who uses this road daily, I'd rather sit in an hour of | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
traffic than see the hard shoulder used. It is dangerous. It is foolish | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
and it will cause accidents". Peter Eccles says: "We all hate | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
getting held up, but emergency services could be blocked out and | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
someone could die". Philip Baildon: "When you drive throughout the | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
continent of Europe and the USA, they do not have hard shoulders. It | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
is a wasted road space and all hard shoulders should be made into | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
traffic lanes to ease the flow of traffic". We always appreciate your | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
reaction, you can get in touch with us through e`mail, you can also get | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
in touch on the Facebook page. You can also get us on Twitter. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Parents in a North Yorkshire village say children's lives are being put | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
at risk after the council withdrew their free bus passes. Some pupils | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
in Carlton`in`Craven near Skipton now face a five`mile walk to get to | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
school and back. The road is so narrow in places that | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
passing vehicles have to mount the kerb, but the council says it is | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
safe. Campaigners met their local MP today to complain. Here's Spencer | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Stokes. These kids are walking more than | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
five miles every day, 2.6 miles to Skipton and then 2.6 miles back. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Every bus pass was withdrawn before Christmas because the path from | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Carlton in Craven were reclassified as safe for walking to school. But | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the folder of these children thinks that this route is dangerous. This | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
is where the footpath runs out on a blind corner, it worries me the | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
most. The council have said the children have to cross here into | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
what they call a safe place, which is this muddy gateway. They have to | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
reassess the crossing and then cross this other roads to the other side. | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
But you know as well as I know, all kids are going to do is go to that | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
corner and cross straight across. Putting his children back on the bus | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
would now cost ?13 per child per week, that is only ?1600 per year. | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
Another ?1600 per year, that is annoying. I appreciate we all have | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
cutbacks, but children's safety, I do not think that should be one to | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
cut back. So what led to the cancellation? North Yorkshire County | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Council fate was because of alterations to parts in the area. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Experts from the council have checked these routes and they say it | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
used to be dangerous, but the construction of this new section of | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
pavement here has made it safe and therefore, children are not entitled | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
to a free bus pass. But while we were filming, we saw just how narrow | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
this road along the route is. Vehicles were forced up onto the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
pavement. The minutes that a large vehicle tries to pass on this road | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
out of Carlton, one of them has two go up on the pavement, so there is | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
the prospect that some children could be injured by a large vehicle | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
going past, and that is just ridiculous. This is a way of | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
introducing some cuts. Instead of an upfront way of saying to the | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
parents, times are hard and we have to save money where we can, they | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
have decided to use health and safety legislation. With an appeal | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
failing, the parents are discussing their next move with the MP for | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Skipton. In recent years, rural bus routes have declined, and with 39 as | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
passengers, this service looks like it would be a lot less quieter in | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
2014. Later on Look North... How art grew | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
out of conflict. The former soldier now using | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
paintings to share the experiences of his time in Afghanistan. | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
Some of today's other news now and the Unite union says Yorkshire | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
ambulance staff have voted to take strike action. The 24 hour walk`out | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
will take place next Saturday. The union, which represents about 10% of | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
staff, is unhappy about changes to shift patterns. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
The two ringleaders of a Sheffield gang at the centre of a one and a | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
half million pound insurance fraud have been jailed for a total of | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
eight years. Mohammed Omar Gulzar received a four`and`a`half year | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
sentence and his co`conspirator Shoaib Nawaz three`and`a`half years. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Nine others involved received sentences from four to twenty | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
months. Their most audacious swindle happened in Burngreave. A bus packed | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
with passengers was deliberately crashed into a car. | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
A policeman has been disciplined after a criminal he was transporting | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
from Leeds accused of him of driving at twice the motorway speed limit. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
The officer, from Durham, hit reported speeds of 140 miles per | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
hour after the prisoner asked about the performance of the car during a | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
transfer to Darlington. He was then reported by the prisoner when they | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
arrived at Darlington Police Station. The officer has been | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
removed from road policing duties. Hundreds of people turned out in | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Doncaster today for a parade by soldiers from the First Regiment | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Royal Horse Artillery. The Chestnut Group passed through Waterdale up to | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Mansion House where they saluted the Lord Mayor and local dignitaries. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
250 soldiers, who have the freedom of the town, were led by 22 horses. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
They've recently returned from a tour of duty in Helmand Province. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
More than ?40 million pounds is going to be invested in redeveloping | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Barnsley Town Centre. The former County Council building is to be | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
demolished. A new outdoor market and central library will be built. | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
There'll also be a major redevelopment of the existing indoor | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
market. The council is putting in most of the money. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Now to the nurses and doctors in South Yorkshire helping to save the | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
lives of newborn babies. A new BBC documentary follows the work of | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Embrace, based near Barnsley, as they transport youngsters hundreds | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
of miles for treatment. The team uses mobile intensive care units on | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
the road, in planes and helicopters. We'll speak to Ann Jackson and Steve | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Hancock from Embrace in a moment. First, this is what they do. | :11:05. | :11:17. | |
From headquarters outside Barnsley in South Yorkshire, a dedicated team | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
fights to keep some Britain's sickest children alive long enough | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
to reach the specialist care they desperately need. As a child needs a | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
life`saving operation or a premature baby has been moved to a neonatal | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
unit, it is the team's job to provide intensive care in the back | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
of a moving and villains, aircraft or helicopter. We have a very | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
precious patient here. He recently went on the transfer list, he has | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
just come down very quickly, really. The big worry is that saliva will | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
spill into his lungs. That is the most worrying thing for the journey. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
I love you. 24 hours a day, every day, they are on stand`by, tiny lies | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
in its hands. We're joined now by Senior Transport | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Nurse Ann Jackson and consultant Steve Hancock. We see from this | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
clip, very pressured, stressful job, you see parents with terrible times | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
in their lives, how do you move away from the emotion of it and get on | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
with your job, if you like? People have to realise we have been trained | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
to do this job, so it is stressful, but you have to put your emotions to | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
one side. There is a job to be done, and at that period, you focus on | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
that child, that family for that transport, emotions, later on. | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
Steve, the way that you deal with this situation is very important, | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
how are you trained for this, because this is critical? We all | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
come from the intensive care or critical care background, so myself, | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
I was in intensive care consultant in Sheffield for ages before I moved | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
onto this, so that experience really help when you deal with critically | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
ill children in hospitals around the region. And tell us about taking a | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
sick child onto a helicopter for example, what is your priority and | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
how do you make it safe and the journey fit for the baby? Safety is | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
paramount, whether it is by road or by air transport, so we spend a lot | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
of time stabling the children in the referring hospital before we move | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
them at all, because even though you have the expertise and equipment, | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
you do not want any problems in the back of an ambulance or a helicopter | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
or a plane of any description, so we spend a lot of time stabilising | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
beforehand, and then there are lots of safety checks on the that | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
transport. Tell us what was happening in that clip there. If a | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
child is very poorly, we know that anything can happen at any time, so | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
we plan for problems that could occur so that we can deal with them, | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
and baby Jackson was a prime example, he coughed out his | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
breathing tube which was an emergency situation, but we had the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
expertise to take over his breathing until we could put back the tube in | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
a controlled manner. Steve, can you control your emotions when you do | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
with very young babies, young children? It is hard, but you get | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
used to it over the years, the great thing is, children are amazingly | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
resilient, and it is great to see them bouncing back and hopefully, we | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
get them well. Well done, you. And you can watch Children's | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
Emergency Rescue on BBC Two on Tuesday at eight o'clock. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Before seven o'clock... The search for a new guide dog for former | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
England cricketer Geoff Cope. I'll be finding out why they help to | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
transform people's lives. And will I be wearing a kilt? ! | :14:55. | :15:10. | |
NOW! The bands are playing for Burns night, join us shortly! | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
The experience of war has always given artists a unique and powerful | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
perspective. Now, one soldier from North Yorkshire is giving people the | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
chance to see his own paintings showing life on the front`line. | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Richard Salter joined the army at 16 and served in Afghanistan. His | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
exhibition opened in York today. Michelle Lyons has been to see it. | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
It is a far cry from front`line duties, but Richard is used to | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
working under pressure and his skills as a soldier served him well | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
as he prepares for his first art exhibition in York. He has bared his | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
soul on canvas and now he is ready to share his work. Art is such a | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
creative thing, but it has always been there, even during the war is. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
It was originally used for a historic point of view prior to | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
photographs, but for me, it is more of my personal experiences. Richard | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
got the chance to study fine art at Bucks University and after | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
graduating, he packed his paintbrushes and took them on tour | :16:20. | :16:20. | |
to Afghanistan. I once loved to make it in the | :16:21. | :16:40. | |
kitchen and are heard by daughters shouting, ready for battle, and she | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
had all of my gear on, and I grabbed the camera and I had a great photo, | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
and that is what I have here. I thought it would be an ideal | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
opportunity to do something with the artist, and with it being in York, | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
there is a lot of interest, because we have the barracks here, and we | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
approached people and there is a lot of interest in his work, so we | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
approached people and there is a lot of interest in his work, so we're | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
optimistic it will do well for us. His work is very surprisingly, I | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
have seen some of it before in Afghanistan, and it was a bit | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
different from this, a lot smaller, and I have come here tonight and be | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
very pleasantly surprised. He has five years left to serve in the | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
army, and after that he plans to leave the battlefield is behind him | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
and take up the more peaceful role of full`time artist. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
Let's look at the sport now. Sheffield's Shelley Rudman finished | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
third in the final World Cup Skeleton race before the Winter | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
Olympics. The weather conditions meant they | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
couldn't do the second run in Germany. It means Shelley also got | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
bronze in the overall World Cup standings and silver in the European | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
Championships, which the race doubled up as. She did it all with | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
cheeky daughter Ella watching on. It came together and I'm very happy to | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
finish in second place in the Europeans and also get a bronze | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
medal and an overall World Cup bronze, and this is a bonus because | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
this is the only globe I am missing in my collection. You are pleased | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
with the way the season has gone, you finished strongly. Yes, I had a | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
bad season with luck, I had illnesses, she is in the background! | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
You cannot do that! Oh, photo bond! Sheffield's Wednesday manager Stuart | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
Gray has thanked his players for getting him the job. | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
The Sheffield United manager says his team have to try to concentrate | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
on their own performance as they prepare to host Premier League | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Fulham in the FA Cup. Having knocked out Aston Villa in Round Three, many | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
are expecting an upset, but Nigel Clough just wants his team to do | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
themselves justice. We have to play at least as well as we did in Villa | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
Park, maybe have a bit of an off day as well, but we wanted but we want | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
to put on a good performance and support the crowd with how we play. | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
Sometimes you cannot control the result. | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
Good luck to the Blades and also to Huddersfield Town, who play | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Charlton, and Sheffield Wednesday who travel to Rochdale. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
I wonder if you remember a few weeks ago we told you about Geoff Cope, | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
the former Yorkshire and England cricketer and his search for a new | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
guide dog. Geoff has been registered blind now for over ten years. And | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
wherever Geoff goes, so too does Kemp. Around Yorkshire cricket | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
circles, they are like Ant and Dec! But Kemp has to retire by April. | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
I've been following the search for his replacement. | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
Atherton earwigging, guide dogs for the Blind Centre. Here, dogs are | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
trained for their remarkable future roles. This centre encourages | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
calmness. The school opened in 2009, previous to that, there was a | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
premises in Bolton, it had been there from the 70s, so they were | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
very old premises. The idea is to limit stress so they can see the | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
staff all the time, they can see each other, and they know what is | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
going on. Whatever they hear, they can see as well, so it makes it a | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
little bit calmer for them and a bit easier to deal with. We also play | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
classic FM to them all the time! We are only allows classic FM, but it | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
has a very calming effect on them. BBC Radio Leeds three is too | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
highbrow! This shows the training needed to | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
become a guide dog. We teach these dogs to refuse food. Set. Sit. These | :20:23. | :20:35. | |
dogs do not eat these doggy treats at all. This is a show dog, his | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
handler is Andy. We remove one of the obstacles, and somebody will | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
hold a pain over the pavement, which is at head height, which will | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
probably be the equivalent of a plank sticking out at the back of a | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
builder's truck. `` we will hold a cane over the pavement. He has two | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
think about his height and his judgement, and let us see what | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
happens. He will take it in whatever way he wants. Remarkable, as for | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
Geoff, he is waiting for a phone call, and the club is ticking, | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
because this wonderful chap as to retire by April? It could be the end | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
of March, he would be ten and a half and he has done a wonderful job and | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
he deserves his retirement. There would be a future years at that | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
time. What is its like to be in the hands of a guide dog? He is turning | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
me right and left. I had total confidence, even though I had no | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
idea where I was. Well done, that is really good. Well done, good boy. | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
That is so impressive. We'll continue to follow this; our | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
next update will be when Geoff gets that call that his new guide dog has | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
been selected. Tomorrow night is Burns Night and | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
Scots all over Yorkshire are already partying. It's the day when the life | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
and work of poet Robbie Burns is celebrated. You can't beat a bit of | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
haggis, a wee dram of whiskey and a good old Highland Fling. Ian White's | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
at one celebration which is underway at West Bretton near Wakefield. | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
I hope you are wearing your kilt! It is all happening here, I can tell | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
you, we're celebrating that poet, the great Scottish writer, Robbie | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
Burns. This is the important bit, thank you very much, and important | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
bit for us you have to address the haggis. | :22:42. | :22:52. | |
Oh, glorious, warm, rich. Easy for you to say! You read the head chef | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
here, I believe that haggis run wild around the Yorkshire sculpture park? | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
That looks slimy car horrible, unappetising. What is in that? That | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
is a she's stomach filled with sheep's liver, heart and lungs. It | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
is filled with boats, tied up and boils. Enjoy your tea! Why on earth | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
are you doing this in Yorkshire, Kerry? It is part of our world food | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
and booze exteriors, we also have a Spanish food and flamenco abound for | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
Valentine's Day and we have Saint Patrick 's Day celebrations coming | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
up also. Lots of people go Scottish country dancing in Yorkshire. Hello. | :23:52. | :24:07. | |
Take it away, letters have a dance. `` let us have a dance. | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
OK! Thank you very much indeed. He should be dancing! I'm glad we do | :24:13. | :24:40. | |
not have any haggis! Sheep innards! I am told Ian looks quite good in a | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
kilt! Let's take a look at these possible | :24:44. | :24:56. | |
colours in this picture, absolutely stunning, a fantastic sunrise. | :24:57. | :25:09. | |
Keep your pictures coming into us. Very unsettled and to come. | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
Tomorrow, brightening up through the morning but some heady, squally | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
showers later. Some hail, thunder, snow for good measure. We haven't | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
occluded fronts, but behind, the system will wind itself of with wet | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
and windy weather during Sunday. The forecasts did not go to plan today. | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
The rain is already into western areas, so the rain will push towards | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
the coast. A miserable night in prospect. Some mist and low cloud | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
and some patchy, light rain and drizzle with lowest temperatures of | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
four Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at 8:04am. A slow start | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
to Saturday, great, misty, light rain and drizzle which will peter | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
out. The sky will brighten from the Northwest some showers, but the main | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
focus for heavy downpour as, hail, thunder and some snow. A very active | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
afternoon. A fresh breeze, so temperatures will be technically | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
above average, but it will not feel anything like nine Celsius. Sunday, | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
a dry start, but the wind and the heavy rain will sweep in from the | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
south`west through the morning. That is your forecast. | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
He makes it up as he goes along! We are giving the haggis and miss, | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
but we will have some whiskey! In the meantime, we will leave you with | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
the band, and from Oliver Seer, good night. `` all of us here. MUSIC | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
