The cards within Iraq have very much got their act together now. They

:04:27.:04:30.

were pushed back at the start but they have redeveloped their forces

:04:31.:04:34.

and can probably cope. You can feel hugely for them. They are spread

across four countries and it is only an Iraq that the self`governing so

would want to go but I think there are better ways in which thdy can

help. I just come back from Afghanistan. Most of the personnel

:05:36.:05:41.

there got the feeling they were heading for Iraq in some sh`pe or

:05:42.:05:46.

form. Is that legally? I thhnk it is unlikely. We have spent manx years

:05:47.:05:55.

in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think it is frankly unlikely that yot will

Friday was one of the best days ever for Yorkshire cricket with their

:16:03.:16:07.

victory in the County Champhonship. We're joined now by Ryan Sidebottom

:16:08.:16:09.

and Jason Gillespie, You proud of the manner in which the

:16:10.:16:31.

team have won? Without a dotbt. It shows we're not just meeting teams,

:16:32.:16:38.

we are dominating games. Thd championships are hard earndd. We

:16:39.:16:46.

play good cricket but it was still the end of the season beford we

:16:47.:16:50.

could say we were champions. He has done very well. It is a testament to

:16:51.:16:55.

himself, he looks after himself well. He is a great example to a lot

:16:56.:17:01.

of the lads. What do you thhnk Jason has brought a Yorkshire as coach? I

:17:02.:17:08.

think the Australian in him, a very tough work hard, play hard. He is a

:17:09.:17:14.

laid`back character. I think he has rubbed off on the players to go out

:17:15.:17:19.

there and perform and they begin simple. It has just been a great

:17:20.:17:21.

team effort, absolutely fantastic. It's very difficult for me to call

:17:22.:17:34.

rulings, but it would have been great to have Andrew out thdre

:17:35.:17:37.

celebrating with us. It wasn't to be. He didn't miss out too luch No

:17:38.:17:47.

one is left in any doubt, Andrew is the coach and that will nevdr

:17:48.:17:51.

change. That will be down in history 2014. I think Adam and Brooks

:17:52.:18:05.

deserve a special mention. They have both been outstanding. They have

:18:06.:18:14.

been absolutely amazing to take that amount of wickets in First Division

:18:15.:18:19.

cricket. It got me crying the other day! I blame him. The trophx made it

:18:20.:18:26.

to Huddersfield over the wedkend and this morning we heard it behng the

:18:27.:18:31.

people's trophy. Where else has it off to? I've heard a whisper that

:18:32.:18:39.

there is a game at Elland Road on Saturday and I think if you of the

:18:40.:18:43.

boys are keen to head down there and show the trophy after. That's all I

:18:44.:18:52.

know so far. It's not yours, Harry? ! .

:18:53.:18:56.

If you think you're any good with a needle and thread,

:18:57.:18:59.

you might want to think agahn after seeing this next report.

:19:00.:19:01.

The Quilt Museum in York has opened a new exhibition of unusual quilts

:19:02.:19:05.

Cathy Killick's been to look at them.

:19:06.:19:17.

Embroidered with patience, skill and care, this is a signature qtilt The

:19:18.:19:26.

names and initials of peopld long dead are scattered across them. But

:19:27.:19:31.

what brought them together `nd why? They were mainly used to rahse funds

:19:32.:19:36.

for churches, chapels and schools. You were asked if you would like to

:19:37.:19:42.

have your name on the quilt and you paid a certain sum of money. Your

:19:43.:19:46.

name was embroidered on the quilt. The court was then made up `nd

:19:47.:19:58.

auctioned or raffled. The chapel in Sheriff Hutton benefited from this

:19:59.:20:03.

quilt. By matching names on Census records, researchers have found

:20:04.:20:08.

photos. This is earnest, who was 11 days old when it was auctioned. And

:20:09.:20:13.

here is Edmund good hand, you still looking headmaster from the school.

:20:14.:20:20.

As well as the quilt is, thdre is a rare chance to see this. It is the

:20:21.:20:26.

oldest signed and dated piece of patchwork in the UK. There `re only

:20:27.:20:31.

four or five like it in the world. It is extremely fragile so

:20:32.:20:35.

volunteers have made a replhca. It is as vibrant as the origin`l would

:20:36.:20:40.

have been nearly 300 years `go. In the original, the initials had faded

:20:41.:20:52.

away. You can see how each patch is tacked onto paper so that on the

:20:53.:20:55.

right side, no stitches are visible. These skills have been

:20:56.:21:01.

handed down over the years some modern quilts are also on dhsplay

:21:02.:21:05.

including a new signature qtilt made to raise money for what elsd, the

:21:06.:21:11.

Quilt Museum. What goes arotnd comes around.

:21:12.:21:21.

I like the idea of sponsoring a patch!

:21:22.:21:24.

I remember a few years ago walking in the

:21:25.:21:26.

middle of York, in my usual miles away state when I heard her voice.

:21:27.:21:29.

Since then I have watched her career blossom.

:21:30.:21:31.

To others, she is the people's soprano.

:21:32.:21:35.

She has sold thousands of albums and I have introduced her on st`ge many

:21:36.:21:38.

She's also sung with Russell Watson and Aled Jones.

:21:39.:21:43.

And yesterday she launched her latest album Dare To Dream.

:21:44.:21:45.

We'll chat to her in a moment, but first here she is singing

:21:46.:21:50.

# You will see if you only dare to dream

:21:51.:22:03.

Rebecca joins us now. He didn't draw up any musical family. You had

:22:04.:22:30.

classical music in the housd. So how did you become a soprano? H`rry has

:22:31.:22:37.

done an introduction about how I performed on the streets whdn I was

:22:38.:22:40.

at university in York. The only classical thing in my house was the

:22:41.:22:47.

Star Wars soundtrack! But I had this voice that didn't fit into `ny other

:22:48.:22:51.

kingdom genre. I used to sing pop songs with my friends and I could

:22:52.:22:56.

tell that I could sing in ttne, but it didn't fit in until I discovered

:22:57.:23:02.

the Phantom of the Opera th`t I discovered I had a soprano voice. Is

:23:03.:23:09.

it hard to make a living? It is very hard work. You can do it unless it

:23:10.:23:20.

is your passion. `` can't. Xou wouldn't be able to do it if you

:23:21.:23:24.

didn't have the will. A big part of the reason I am still doing it is

:23:25.:23:28.

because of the support I have had. I've done it all over the UK and

:23:29.:23:35.

abroad. It keeps you going to see the reaction that people have.

:23:36.:23:41.

Durham are very kind to me. You found a middle ground betwedn pop

:23:42.:23:52.

music and highbrow Opera. Dtrham is a great place to get in touch with

:23:53.:23:56.

the people. I have listened to the kind of music they want to listen to

:23:57.:24:01.

and the title track is actu`lly my own song. There are a coupld of my

:24:02.:24:07.

own songs and some lesser`known songs. They want new music hn the

:24:08.:24:10.

genre. They want something lore accessible. They want a bridge for

:24:11.:24:16.

people discovering more abott classical music. I'm looking forward

:24:17.:24:21.

to listening to it. I do th`t singing but I don't go on about it!

:24:22.:24:23.

I got a few pictures. Look `t that! This is a beautiful sunrise in

:24:24.:24:56.

Bradford. The next one is Wensleydale looking pretty `s ever.

:24:57.:25:08.

Keep your pictures coming in. Tomorrow will be an overcast start.

:25:09.:25:13.

High pressured to the north`west but we have a gentle run from the east

:25:14.:25:19.

which will mean low cloud and fog by night which will slowly cle`r.

:25:20.:25:25.

Instability today which means there has been heavy showers. Thex have

:25:26.:25:29.

come through West Yorkshire over the last few hours and we have had

:25:30.:25:33.

temperatures of 18 Celsius. There will continue westwards and fizzle

:25:34.:25:39.

out. Overnight, it looks set to be dry. The low cloud over night could

:25:40.:25:45.

produce the odd spot of drizzle but the mild might with the lowdst

:25:46.:25:54.

temperature of 12 or 14 Celsius In murky end to that night. Thd sun

:25:55.:26:02.

rises at 6:40am and the next high water is 10:17pm. It's a slow start

:26:03.:26:13.

whenever you are. They could be held fog `` there could be hill fog. Low

:26:14.:26:24.

cloud will break up mist and fog in the afternoon looks brighter. There

:26:25.:26:27.

are still cloud around which might produce light showers. It is

:26:28.:26:39.

definitely an improving picture 16 Celsius is expected in Scarborough

:26:40.:26:50.

and 19 or 20 Celsius inland. There should be brightness towards the

:26:51.:27:00.

coast. Wednesday to Friday or similar `` are similar, but the very

:27:01.:27:07.

quiet conditions look set to continue.
