showers in the west and south. That's all from the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight, with Roger Johnson and | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Annabel Tiffin. Our top story. A fortune from fracking, the | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
government incentives which could bring millions to the north`west | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
councils. But the critics and protesters say it is little more | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
than a bribe. Also tonight. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Critical times, as the Royal Preston's A says it's being pushed | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
to the limit this winter. I do not know who is about to have a | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
heart attack, through, and we have to be prepared for that patient at | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
any moment. Double top. A clean sweep as two of | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
our region's darts players become world champions. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
And, the little seal who swam 40 miles up a Cumbrian river is rescued | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
from a farmer's field. We know the Government's keen on | :00:49. | :01:06. | |
fracking, and today ministers outlined plans to make it more | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
palatable to communities that could be disrupted. In essence, they are | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
offering millions of pounds to local councils who agree to sign`off | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
licences. Fracking is the process of shattering rock deep underground, | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
releasing shale gas to produce energy. But it's controversial, and | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
this weekend hundreds of protestors marched in Salford against it. | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
At the moment, councils keep 50% of any business rates they collect. But | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
the Government's going to allow them to keep all the business rates from | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
fracking. It's said to be worth about ?1.7 million a year for a | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
typical site. It will bring jobs, investment, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
industry, competitiveness to the area, it is part of our economic | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
plan, it will provide 74,000 jobs across the country, the north`west | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
has got some real advantages, and I want to make sure that local | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
taxpayers benefit. This is what I would call a start, it is movement | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
by government to keep 100% of business rates, but I would like to | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
keep them for all of my businesses, so I can deliver services to my | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
residents. It is a step forward. But it's not just councils that would | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
get paid. At the moment, companies are only | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
test drilling. But if they step up to an actual test frack, they must | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
pay the local community ?100,000. And if the company then goes ahead | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
with commercial fracking, they must hand over a further 1% of revenues, | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
worth somewhere between ?5 and ten million over a site's lifetime. But | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
some MPs say that's still not enough. | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
In the United States, they get between five and 7% of revenues. The | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
amount is 206 to ?6 billion of extract double gas, and we can get | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
more than the 1% that is on offer. I hope it climbs up to five or 10%. | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
We have seen further demonstrations against fracking, but it is not | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
those people be government is trying to convince, it is ordinary voters. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
We have heard this evening that Cheshire East council has said it | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
will not be fracking no matter how good the financial incentives. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Will be financial incentives be enough to placate those opposed to | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
fracking? We have got reaction from people living near proposed sites. | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
And protesters. The government may be backing it, but it remains | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
controversial. Anti`fracking campaigners here tried | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
to prevent vehicles getting to the drilling site run by IGas. They are | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
disappointed by the news that local councils can keep all of the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
business rate from fracking and claimed it was a desperate measure. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
This naked bribery shows they have lost the argument. All of the tax | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
breaks for renewable and it have been cut. Trying to bribe a brick | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
opinion will not work. But in some areas, the reaction is more | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
positive. Here, Lancashire county council will benefit from the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
changes, as there are several potential fracking sites in the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
area. We should keep the money that is gained from it, it should go back | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
into the area instead of the government having it. Other areas | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
might think it is unfair for stop but yes, it will be good for this | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
area. Community is close to drilling or fracking sites will benefit the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
most. Energy companies are giving a one`off payment of ?100,000 plus 1% | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
of any profit. Today, the company that operates on the Fylde Coast | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
said it would give the money to the community foundation for Lancashire | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
and for them to work out how to distributed. It will be difficult | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
for us to define what the local community is. It is about the people | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
who are part of this, who need the funds for projects, and we want to | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
make sure it goes to the right people. The payments of ?100,000 | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
could be given within the year, but that means little to those who want | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
the process stopping altogether. The decision to allow councils to | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
keep the business rates from fracking sites has been called a | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
bribe by critics. Earlier, I asked the Energy Minister Michael Fallon | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
if it was. No, this is about fairness and | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
ensuring that any of the game does not go to the companies who are | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
doing the exploration for shale or to the Treasury in London, but that | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
local people and the local council sees the benefit. That means they | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
will be able to retain the full business rates that are being paid, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
and they can use that money to improve local services. There are | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
likely to be conflict of interest when the councils who will decide on | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
the planning applications have a financial incentive to approve them. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
The councils already countered various requirements when it comes | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
to giving various permissions, and this is no different from the | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
existing arrangements there are four wind farms and big solar farms. What | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
happens if these local councils say no? In those cases, if they do not | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
do so on good ground, like any other planning application, the developer | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
can appeal to the Secretary of State. Is investing this effort in | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
line with being a Green government, which is David Cameron `` which is | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
what David Cameron said he wanted? It is a greener fossil fuel. That is | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
an oxymoron. There are different types of gas, this is a green gas, | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
less polluting than other types of gas. It is a home`grown source of | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
energy. Nobody would seriously argue we should leave the North Sea oil | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
and gas in the ground. It is there, it is a resource that has been | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
tapped very successfully. I think we ought to do it here. But it is not | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
next to people's houses. That is the issue. The planning decision will be | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
local, up to the authority to decide whether it is appropriate in the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
circumstances. Whether it is too close to residential accommodation | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
or whether it will involve too much disruption for a small village of | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
narrow roads or whatever. That is the point of the planning system. It | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
will be up to the council to determine whether it is appropriate | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
for that particular area. They will judge each one on its merit. Police | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
say they want to speak to two men in connection with a double shooting | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
outside a bingo hall in North Manchester last night. | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
A pensioner was assaulted. The men by former through her pockets and | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
punched her several times. She was so scared, she stayed at home for | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
five days and did not report the incident. | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
Police are appealing for information after a park was vandalised in | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
Liverpool. Lamp posts and trees were flattened | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
and benches damaged after vandals went on a wrecking spree in a dumper | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
truck in Everton Park. A Royal Navy bomb`disposal team have | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
detonated a World War II explosive on St Anne's beach. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
The device, a marine flare used as a marker for training bomber crews, | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
was washed up on the beach at the weekend. It's thought the bomb | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
drifted down from Luce Bay in Scotland, which was used by the RAF | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
as a bombing range. Liverpool Council has announced that | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
services like child and adult social care could be cut by a quarter over | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
the next three years. The council has tonight released its latest | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
figures on what it has to save. Some services, like libraries and leisure | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
centres, could face budget cuts of 50%. The coalition Government | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
insists Liverpool is not getting a raw deal. What do the council say | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
these cuts will mean? It says it is the biggest challenge it has faced | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
yet, it has lost ?173 million over the past three years, it is now | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
having to lose 156 million over the next three years, and in real | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
terms, by 2017, it will have lost more than half of its government | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
funding. In areas like cultural services and regeneration, the cuts | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
could be up to 50%, but the real pain will be the things that council | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
house to provide, like social care and environmental health. In adult | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
social care, these cuts could mean that there are 5000 fewer people in | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Liverpool who will get a package of social care. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
The care packages and the support we give to elderly people, disabled | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
people, people dependent on visits and services to them, they will have | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
that reduced. Other things will be reduced as well, social care to | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
adults, two children, we are looking at the library services, the leisure | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
facilities. What's the Government response been | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
to this? It is worth pointing out Liverpool is a Labour council and we | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
have a Conservative/Liberal Democrat government, but it says it has given | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
a fair settlement to the entire country and it has used a figure | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
called the average household spend. It says Liverpool's is higher than | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
the national average. It says Liverpool gets extra money for | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
economic development. The council says the figures mask a harsh | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
reality, and this time round, although they have already lost 1600 | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
jobs through voluntary redundancy, council cannot rule out compulsory | :11:16. | :11:29. | |
redundancies. One of the region's biggest | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
hospitals has told North West Tonight they're being pushed to | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
their limit because thousands of patients are turning up who should | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
be being cared for in the community. Less than one in every five patients | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
who go to the Royal Preston's A department are admitted for | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
treatment. Others are sent home or referred to GPs. In the first of | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
three special reports on winter pressures in hospitals, we spent an | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
evening in emergency care. It's 6pm on a Sunday evening. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Callum's had a high temperature for 12 hours. His parents would like see | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
their GP, but he doesn't work weekends. They felt they had no | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
option but to call an ambulance. It is the first time he has been ill, I | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
would have preferred to go to the doctors. This is a last resort? | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Yes. This isn't unusual. At the Royal Preston, more than 12% of | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
patients who walk through the door are told GP care is more | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
appropriate. In fact, just 18% are admitted for treatment. And it's | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
thought 20% wouldn't be here at all if they'd received the right | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
community care in the first place. Geoff could be one of those | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
patients. He's in with a suspected broken ankle. Could Geoff's fall | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
have been avoided? After three years of struggling on it, it might be | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
broken again. A chat reveals he's recently been diagnosed with cancer, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
and that he hasn't eaten properly for two days. There is nobody at | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
home to support him. 8pm, and the bulk of the team has been diverted | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
to care for a patient who's been hit by a train. The patient survives. It | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
means they're now missing the national target of seeing all their | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
patients within four hours, and may not recover by morning. I do not | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
know when the phone is going to go again. It could go now, it could go | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
in 20 minutes, it could never go. I can't predict when these types of | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
emergencies happen. It is all right, we can get these patients moved up. | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
11pm. There is a danger the hospital could run out of bed. There were not | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
that many beds left, and we have had quite an influx, which has left us | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
quite stretched. There are people still coming. There are just eight | :13:42. | :13:51. | |
beds left out of more than 800. It's gone midnight. We've been here for | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
more than eight hours, but what's struck me is how few genuine | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
accidents and emergencies have come through those doors. There are | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
hundreds of reasons why people come here, because they genuinely feel | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
they have nowhere else to go. And staff here say that has to change if | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
they're to give all of their patients the best care possible. | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
Tomorrow, we'll look at how the hospital is being affected by the | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
increasing demands of elderly care, and on Wednesday, we'll ask the | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
Trust's chief executive what is being done to make sure the hospital | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
copes this winter. There are special report on BBC Radio Kent can show | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
all this week. Still to come, the Salford owner who | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
is planning to take control of their traditional rivals, but it is far | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
from a hostile takeover. And, so far from home, the rescue | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
mission for the Cumbrian seal found more than 40 miles from the sea. | :14:49. | :15:00. | |
You said that with real sympathy! If you've ever been up Scafell Pike, | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
you'll have no difficulty understanding Terry Abraham's | :15:11. | :15:11. | |
obsession. Terry, it seems, is determined to | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
get to know every inch of one of the Lake District's wildest fells. He's | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
making a film capturing its many moods. And BBC Inside Out North West | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
has been trying to keep up with him. Here's a taster. | :15:23. | :15:35. | |
Coming here, somewhere like the Lake District, it ignited something in me | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
and inspired me. Scafell Pike is my baby. I love the raw power it has | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
with the rocks and the crags. Over there. And absolutely beautiful | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
scene. But the wind is horrendous. Might have to move somewhere else. | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
Here we go, this is it. The thing that makes me smile most of all is | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the people that come back to me, saying, we can see your love for the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
area, it shines through. That is where I get a real flutter in my | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
heart. I think, yes, it is paying off. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
They are truly stunning images. You can see more of Terry's passionate | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
pursuit of the perfect shot of Scafell Pike on Inside Out this | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
evening at 7:30pm on BBC One. Diane is back on North West Tonight at the | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
beginning of February. Richard is here with the sport now, | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
and a couple of very special guests coming up. | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
Yes, our newest world champions. We will talk about football first. | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
Midfielder Samir Nasri is facing eight weeks out with a knee injury | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
sustained in this incident during yesterday's match at Newcastle. The | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
home side's Mapou Yanga`Mbiwa was booked for the challenge. One | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
consolation for City, a 2`0 win at St James's Park, Edin Dzeko on | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
target with their first. Luis Suarez was on target for | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
Liverpool again as they moved back into the top four. He scored twice | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
in a 5`3 win at Stoke, his second set up by Daniel Sturridge, who made | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
his return from injury. Gareth Barry's piledriver set Everton on | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
their way to a 2`0 win over Norwich, which keeps them fifth, while | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
there's finally some relief for Manchester United. Adnan Januzaj was | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
their inspiration as they beat Swansea for a first win in four. | :17:46. | :17:58. | |
There are implications, with ?200 million wiped off their share price, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
and sticking with finance... The Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
Gartside says he's not worried by the club's ?163 million debt. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Addressing the issue for the first time since it was revealed the club | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
lost ?50 million last year, he told BBC Radio Manchester the club owe | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
the bank ?8 million but the remainder is a loan from the club's | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
owner, the Isle of Man`based businessman Eddie Davies. | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
The Salford Red Devils owner Marwan Koukash has been fleshing out his | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
vision for his proposed takeover of Swinton Lions. | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
Dr Koukash, who saved Salford from probably going out of business, is | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
considering doing the same for their traditional rivals. He'll outline | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
plans, including the possible building of a new stadium, to | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
Swinton fans later this week. And today, he exclusively told me that | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
he might move the Red Devils there as well. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
I have always talked about making Salford a great rugby league town. | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Salford is a city needs the stadium in the heart of the city. Are you | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
considering moving Salford away from the stadium to that new stadium? I | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
do not have any plans at present to do that, just hoping that the plans | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
I have for Salford in the stadium will work out, including eventually | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
buying the stadium, developing the area around it. It will not be `` if | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
it will not be achieved, we have to look at other options. So there is a | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
possibility you might do that? Never say no. If things do not work out | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
for us, I have ambitions for Salford Red Devils, to make them one of the | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
biggest rugby league clubs in the world. How can you achieve that if | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
you are a tenant in somebody else's Stadium? Swinton have a great | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
history. You are meeting fans later this week, some fans might be | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
concerned they will be swallowed up by the biggest `` by the bigger | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
brother and lose their identity. That will never happen. Swinton will | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
compete at the highest level in their own division. Who knows, we | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
might have to Super League teams in town. If Manchester United and | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Manchester City can play football in one city, so can Swinton and Salford | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
play in the Super League. He is an ambitious one. We have got | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
a busy sofa, we are joined by dots royalty, two new BDO world | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
champions, Lisa Ashton and Stephen Bunting. I feel like we should give | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
you a round of applause, congratulations. I did watch it, you | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
were emotional, winning your first World Championship, how did you | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
feel? I was really nervous, my first final, a lot of emotion, because I | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
have tried for that title for the last eight years. To finally get my | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
name on the trophy is a massive thing for me. Is it true godfather | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
camped out for a week? Yes, a few friends and family all in the camper | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
van, plus cheaper for them to do that. Brilliant support. They said | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
they would not swap the experience for the world. Lisa, you had great | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
support as well. Has it sunk in yet? Not yet. You keep tapping | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
yourself, is it real? You look at it and you realise you have when it! It | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
is yours, you can keep it! How do you keep your cool? How do | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
you keep calm and you know there is so much riding on one front of the. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
? Deep breaths, keep thinking, that one, please. You had a comeback. | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
Yes, one leg at a time. And keep going. Do you get into a zone? It is | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
such a passionate venue, you get into the zone, you are almost cut | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
off from it? You have got to prepare right, go to bed early, breakfast, | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
as long as you can keep yourself comfortable and relaxed and let | :22:24. | :22:33. | |
your... You know what you can do, you just have to take your chance. I | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
think I heard that you have four brothers, and that was part of the | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
reason why do became the player that you are, competing against them, and | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
becoming better than them. Yes, I had to practice while they did, and | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
when I realised I could beat them, they did not want to play me any | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
more! I bet everybody wants to play you in the pub! This, if they get | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
one leg, I never hear the last of it! Stephen, you dedicated your | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
victory to somebody very special. To my late mother and to Toby, who | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
could not go to the championships, because there is an age ten limit. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
It may be really emotional yesterday. Well done, thank you for | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
coming in. As rescues go, the Morecambe Bay | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
Search and Rescue team realised this one would be far from easy. Their | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
subject, not a sailor lost at sea or a walker marooned in a snowdrift. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
This time, they were looking for a seal who'd managed to find his way | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
into a farmer's field, 40 miles from the sea. | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
Mike Davis and Paul have faced many challenges during their years with | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
the Morecambe Bay search and rescue team. This weekend came one of their | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
most unusual to date. The sale had been reported near Appleby, and they | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
wanted somebody who had a vehicle and the facilities to transported | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
and release it back into the sea. So, they made their way to a | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
farmer's field. Eventually, they found this, a long way from home. It | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
is believed it must have made its way into the river around Solway. | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
It's one inland, eventually finding its way into a small tributary and | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
into the farmer's field. They reckon he must have swum 50 miles to reach | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
that farm. He was not in any hurry to leave. He was far from pleased to | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
see his would`be rescuers. Despite their cute and cuddly appearance, | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
sales can have a vicious nature. They are the cutest thing to look | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
at, they usually look like they are crying a bit, you have a desire to | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
add it on the head, at which point they will take off most of your | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
fingers. It was jumping out of the water like a little shark, trying to | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
bite everything. A bit of damage to walking poles, but we are all safe. | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
They coaxed it into a special container and settle for the final | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
leg, a spot popular with colonies. Eventually, it went into the sea. | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
Hopefully, it will find some friends and some fish. After his incredible | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
journey, he is back where he belongs. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Nice to have a happy ending! It is very unsubtle. It was a decent | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
weekend, at least it was on Saturday. The week ahead will be | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
unsubtle. Weather fronts bringing grain. A bit of a respite tomorrow. | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
Another weather fronts bringing in more rain tomorrow night, into | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
Wednesday. A bit of a respite on Thursday, and a bit more rain on | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
Friday. It is not necessarily heavy, it is just wave after wave after | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
wave. It is not especially warm either. Other than Wednesday, we are | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
going to keep the temperatures in single figures. Temperatures will | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
dip below freezing at times overnight. Tonight, a yellow weather | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
warning of ice from the Met Office, because we have showers working | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
through at the moment. By dawn, they ease away, it will be dry. The sky | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
clears. Fog and frost patches and eyes are a possibility, because any | :26:49. | :27:02. | |
of the rain can freeze tonight and tomorrow. A dry start tomorrow, lots | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
of fog, good spells of sunshine, a frosty start, but rain arrives by | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
the end of the day. It is not a warm day. | :27:12. | :27:19. | |
That is it from us, thank you for watching. Have a good night. | :27:20. | :27:23. |
