:00:03. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines:

:00:12. > :00:17.Tragedy on the way home. A bus driver says he could do

:00:17. > :00:19.nothing to prevent the death of these two teenagers and a pensioner.

:00:19. > :00:20.A Newcastle-based private investigator is accused of trying

:00:21. > :00:24.to access Gordon Brown's personal files.

:00:24. > :00:34.The lengths this devoted mum is prepared to go to give her son a

:00:34. > :00:35.

:00:35. > :00:39.shot at Broadway. It's going to be more than �30,000 per year, but so

:00:39. > :00:44.far I have remortgaged my house. And, magical maze. The tourist

:00:44. > :00:47.attraction that's a unique tribute to Harry Potter.

:00:47. > :00:50.In sport - Derbyshire give Durham the Colly wobbles with a bid to

:00:50. > :01:00.sign one of their top cricketers. And we meet some of Steve Bruce's

:01:00. > :01:09.

:01:09. > :01:12."Carnage" is the way one witness described the scene of the Keswick

:01:12. > :01:15.Bus crash which left two teenagers and a car driver dead. But along

:01:15. > :01:17.with descriptions of that terrible scene, the inquest into the deaths

:01:17. > :01:19.has heard stories of heroism and bravery.

:01:19. > :01:25.15-year-old Kieran Goulding, 16- year-old Chloe Walker and 68-year-

:01:25. > :01:29.old Patrick Short all died on 24th May last year. Alison Freeman has

:01:29. > :01:39.been at the inquest for us which is being held in Cleator Moor. Alison,

:01:39. > :01:43.what did we learn today? As you can imagine, it has been a hugely

:01:43. > :01:47.emotional day of evidence. We heard from the families of those who died,

:01:47. > :01:50.but also some important witness statements from David Ratcliffe,

:01:50. > :01:56.the bus driver on the day, who said he did everything he could to try

:01:56. > :02:00.and avoid the crash. He said he had also physically recovered from the

:02:00. > :02:06.accident but since had to give up bus driving. He was praised for his

:02:06. > :02:11.actions while the witnesses here today.

:02:11. > :02:14.-- by eight the other witnesses here today. It was a hot sunny day

:02:14. > :02:18.in May when a car drove onto the wrong side of the A66 towards a

:02:18. > :02:21.school bus. Driver David Ratcliffe told the inquest how he tried to

:02:21. > :02:24.swerve and only clip the car but the following impact caused the

:02:24. > :02:26.front of the bus to 'explode' and roll onto its side. He told the

:02:26. > :02:28.court: "I thought we were all goners".

:02:28. > :02:33.Witnesses arriving moments later described an eerie silence, until

:02:33. > :02:35.the youngsters started crying. The children and the bus driver were

:02:36. > :02:40.praised for their bravery, many ignoring their own injuries to help

:02:40. > :02:43.others. But two youngsters were beyond help. Keiran Goulding and

:02:43. > :02:47.Chloe Walker had been thrown under the bus, killed instantly by their

:02:47. > :02:51.injuries. The court heard today that neither teenager wore a

:02:52. > :02:56.seatbelt. Chloe had been knelt up talking to a friend and Kieran

:02:56. > :03:00.standing when the impact happened. Keiran's mother Tracey Nicholson

:03:00. > :03:10.was extremely upset throughout the day's evidence. In a statement read

:03:10. > :03:18.

:03:18. > :03:21.Chloe's parents chose not to attend. In a statement her dad said she had

:03:21. > :03:31.gone to school that day, despite being allowed to study at home, as

:03:31. > :03:35.

:03:35. > :03:39.it was her birthday and wanted to No reason was found today as to why

:03:39. > :03:44.Patrick Short was driving on the wrong side of the A66. His diabetes

:03:44. > :03:53.was all-but ruled out as a cause. But his wife Margrit Scott told the

:03:53. > :03:56.inquest he would have been "totally devastated" by what happened. A

:03:56. > :04:03.heartbreaking story. Did we hear any more about the exact cause of

:04:03. > :04:07.the crash? A lot of attention has been paid to Patrick Short and why

:04:07. > :04:11.he might have been driving on the wrong side of the road. A medical

:04:11. > :04:14.experts ruled out died BT's been a contributory factor to that, but

:04:14. > :04:18.did say that they may never find out if there was a medical

:04:18. > :04:21.condition which caused him to be on the wrong side of the road. We will

:04:21. > :04:25.get more from crash scene investigators later in the week and

:04:25. > :04:28.the inquest is due to end on Thursday.

:04:28. > :04:31.A private investigator from the north has been accused of targeting

:04:31. > :04:33.the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. It's claimed that Glen

:04:33. > :04:36.Lawson, who's based in Newcastle, sought access to police records to

:04:36. > :04:39.uncover information on the former Labour leader, and on Newcastle

:04:39. > :04:43.East MP, Nick Brown. It's alleged he did it for unidentified

:04:43. > :04:49.journalists. It's the latest of many allegations in the phone-

:04:49. > :04:52.hacking scandal. Keith Akehurst reports.

:04:52. > :04:55.The hacking scandal shows no signs of abating, and now some

:04:55. > :04:57.accusations point towards Tyneside. The Guardian newspaper alleges that

:04:57. > :05:00.a private investigator from Newcastle commissioned a search of

:05:00. > :05:07.police records for information about former Prime Minister Gordon

:05:07. > :05:09.Brown in November 2000. And that Glen Lawson of Abbey Investigations

:05:09. > :05:19.also targeted two other Labour politicians including Newcastle

:05:19. > :05:23.

:05:23. > :05:27.East MP Nick Brown. Glenn Lawson rents a room at this business

:05:27. > :05:31.centre which is run by Newcastle City Council and their receptionist

:05:31. > :05:34.told us that he worked alone and he had not been seen here today. When

:05:34. > :05:37.reached by a BBC colleague Mr Lawson said, "I've no comment to

:05:37. > :05:40.make. Thank you.". Although, Nick Brown was alerted by the police

:05:40. > :05:47.seven years ago, the revelations of the last 24 hours have surprised

:05:47. > :05:50.him. The revelations in today's Guardian newspaper tell me more

:05:50. > :05:56.than I knew. There is also a question as to why the individual

:05:56. > :06:01.who is alleged to have commissioned the wrong doing was not himself

:06:01. > :06:05.prosecuted. In addition, the former cabinet minister is scathing about

:06:05. > :06:11.the treatment of Gordon Brown. is alleged is absolutely

:06:11. > :06:16.heartbreaking, that anyone could sink so low as to ring up any human

:06:16. > :06:22.being and say that they had got a child's health records and they

:06:22. > :06:26.would publish them. That is a despicable thing to have happened

:06:26. > :06:31.to any mother and father, and to have it happen to a friend of yours

:06:31. > :06:34.is very distressing and the individuals concerned should be so

:06:34. > :06:44.it -- thoroughly ashamed of themselves. This scandal has a long

:06:44. > :06:47.

:06:48. > :06:50.A man's been charged with arson and murder following the death of a

:06:50. > :06:53.Redcar pensioner. 77-year-old Terry McGlade was found dead in a house

:06:53. > :06:56.fire at his home on Pennine Crescent early on Saturday morning.

:06:56. > :07:00.A 50-year-old man will appear before Teesside Magistrates Court

:07:00. > :07:05.today. And police are investigating the

:07:05. > :07:08.death of two people in County Durham. 51-year-old James McAndrew

:07:08. > :07:11.and 36 year-old Helen Swan were found at a house on John Street in

:07:11. > :07:14.Black Hill, near Consett. Post mortem examinations are being

:07:14. > :07:16.carried out. Lord Sebastian Coe has been

:07:16. > :07:25.presented with an honorary doctorate at Sunderland University

:07:25. > :07:28.by his old running rival, Steve Cram. Lord Coe beat his Great

:07:28. > :07:31.Britain team-mate to the Olympic gold medal in the final of the 1500

:07:31. > :07:34.metres at the Los Angeles games in 1984. The silver medallist is now

:07:34. > :07:37.Chancellor of Sunderland University, and handed over the award for Lord

:07:37. > :07:39.Coe's contribution to sport and his leadership of the successful 2012

:07:39. > :07:42.Olympic bid. Before the ceremony, the double-Olympic champion spoke

:07:42. > :07:49.about disappointment in Sunderland that it would miss out on an

:07:49. > :07:53.overnight stop for the Olympic Torch.

:07:53. > :07:58.We took local advice. These are never easy decisions. There are

:07:58. > :08:02.always going to be arguments about where and where they should be. We

:08:02. > :08:08.do plan a very big send-off the following morning in Sunderland.

:08:08. > :08:14.That will be with the torch. But I recognise local rivalries and I

:08:14. > :08:20.recognise the challenge we have had in choosing those stopovers, but it

:08:20. > :08:25.is actually very important that the region is represented in a very big

:08:25. > :08:27.way, and that will happen. value of horse racing to the

:08:27. > :08:30.economy of Yorkshire has been revealed for the first time. New

:08:30. > :08:33.research claims the sport brings in hundreds of million of pounds, and

:08:33. > :08:41.supports thousands of jobs. Our Business Correspondent, Ian Reeve,

:08:41. > :08:44.reports. They settle down and fight it out.

:08:44. > :08:51.It's not just exciting finishes, like this one at York, that

:08:51. > :08:54.Yorkshire's racecourses give us. According to new research the nine

:08:54. > :08:56.courses pump nearly �230 million a year into the county's economy, and

:08:56. > :09:03.are directly responsible for 2,300 jobs. And it's not just punters

:09:03. > :09:08.paying entrance fees that make up the figures. So off-course spending

:09:08. > :09:12.on things like hotels and food is nearly �30 million. Bookmakers at

:09:13. > :09:15.the courses make over �1 million. And caterers do pretty well too,

:09:16. > :09:21.making over �11 million. All very interesting but why tot up the

:09:21. > :09:23.figures. Well, in part, the courses are making a point to local

:09:23. > :09:26.authorities. All of them are looking to diversify into things

:09:26. > :09:32.like car boot sales and pop concerts, or build new stands. They

:09:32. > :09:35.all need licences and permissions. So the subtle message here then is,

:09:35. > :09:43."Look how important we are, �228 million of importance, so listen to

:09:43. > :09:47.what we want.'. It is always handy to say that we are able to bring

:09:48. > :09:52.this money in and a lot of jobs for the local economy. It is always

:09:52. > :09:56.healthy when you have a project like we have got going on in the

:09:56. > :09:59.background, with extra refurbishments and things like that.

:09:59. > :10:02.Around one million people go racing in Yorkshire every year, giving

:10:02. > :10:12.that big boost to the economy. And they just thought they were having

:10:12. > :10:15.

:10:15. > :10:18.When a ton and a half of lead was stolen from the roof of a Cumbrian

:10:18. > :10:21.church, leaving it with a repair bill of �30,000, there were fears

:10:21. > :10:24.it would have to close. But such was the strength of feeling at St

:10:24. > :10:28.Michael's in Shap parishioners have already raised �12,000 to keep it

:10:28. > :10:33.going. Last week, a local man was jailed for two years after

:10:33. > :10:39.admitting the theft. Mark McAlindon reports. It has stood for more than

:10:39. > :10:42.1,000 years. But the theft this year of lead from the roof has left

:10:42. > :10:49.the reverend here battling to save the church as rain water can now

:10:49. > :10:53.pour in. I was extremely worried. The thought of not being able to do

:10:53. > :11:00.anything was quite bleak. Insurance wouldn't cover the repair bill, so

:11:00. > :11:06.the only thing left was to appeal to the generosity of local people.

:11:06. > :11:12.We had to raise �32,500. The only way to do that was launched a local

:11:12. > :11:16.appeal and about one month ago we sent out envelopes to every

:11:16. > :11:20.household and about 600 envelopes went out, and over the last month

:11:20. > :11:25.they have slowly started to return, and the good news is we have so far

:11:25. > :11:29.raised around �12,000. For the last week a man was jailed for two years

:11:29. > :11:35.for admitting the theft. But the Reverend refuses to feel any

:11:35. > :11:39.bitterness. You can't be angry. He has been sentenced now. There is

:11:39. > :11:46.nothing we can do about that. He has lost his liberty for quite some

:11:46. > :11:53.time. It is just very sad. There has been a place of worship here

:11:53. > :11:57.since around 750 BC and the Church -- around 750 Addy and another 1012

:11:57. > :12:01.and -- 1,200 years. The strength of the response from the local

:12:01. > :12:06.community means that was it will continue here for the foreseeable

:12:06. > :12:12.future. -- that worship will continue here.

:12:12. > :12:17.Plenty more to come in tonight's programme. We meet the mum bullies

:12:17. > :12:20.remortgaging her home to give her son a chance of stardom and we

:12:20. > :12:26.report from the first day of the Great Yorkshire Show. And I will be

:12:26. > :12:33.here with the weather forecast for the Yorkshire Show and the rest of

:12:33. > :12:37.the north-east and Cumbria. It is one of the highlights of the

:12:37. > :12:40.summer, and thousands of people are in Harrogate for the Great

:12:40. > :12:50.Yorkshire Show. It is a showcase for Yorkshire life and tomorrow the

:12:50. > :12:56.

:12:56. > :13:01.crowds will be joined by Prince It takes all sorts to make a show

:13:01. > :13:05.and some of it makes you feel dizzy. They are pulling out fantastic

:13:06. > :13:09.times like nine or 10 seconds. When I was competing here years ago a

:13:09. > :13:14.good time would be 11 seconds and I was over the moon with that. Now

:13:14. > :13:19.they are pulling out nine seconds. It is unbelievable. He can be

:13:19. > :13:23.dangerous at times, but all the safety is in line and it is all

:13:23. > :13:26.legitimate and all good. Most are not here for the adrenaline rush.

:13:26. > :13:36.The Great Yorkshire Show dates back to the 1830s. It's been on this

:13:36. > :13:40.site for 60 years. This is one of the most so real attraction. Real

:13:40. > :13:43.Scarborough sand, 10 tons of it from the beach, and over here is a

:13:43. > :13:49.real Scarborough donkey. This is William, and I think he is looking

:13:49. > :13:53.for the sea, but he won't find it in Harrogate. Over here is Gary, so

:13:53. > :13:59.tell me how important the show is to Yorkshire. It is the largest

:13:59. > :14:02.agricultural event in the UK. 150,000 people over three days, so

:14:02. > :14:05.it is really important for Harrogate, this part of North

:14:05. > :14:11.Yorkshire and for Yorkshire as a whole. Tomorrow, Charles and

:14:11. > :14:18.Camilla will be here. Interest keeps growing. Last year 130,000

:14:18. > :14:23.people came over three days. We put on a good show, and a reputation

:14:23. > :14:31.has built up over the years and it is now spreading further afield. I

:14:31. > :14:39.think that is what we try to deliver, what people want.

:14:39. > :14:41.How far would you go to secure your child's dream? Well, a mum from

:14:41. > :14:45.Sunderland has re-mortgaged her home so that her talented teenage

:14:45. > :14:48.son can go to stage school in New York. Baden Burns won a coveted

:14:48. > :14:56.spot at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. It's going to

:14:56. > :15:06.cost �30,000 a year. But far from being put off, his mum Anita has

:15:06. > :15:08.

:15:08. > :15:12.swung into action to try to make it all happen. The stars they liked

:15:12. > :15:17.the night, like the sun in the morning light. Walleye note is that

:15:17. > :15:21.I'll be there someday. -- all I know is that of the their Sunday.

:15:21. > :15:25.And these stars will light the way. This Nineteen-year-old does not

:15:25. > :15:29.just seemed about the stars, he dreams about being one as well, and

:15:29. > :15:33.he made his performance debut at the age of five and has been acting

:15:34. > :15:38.dancing and singing ever since. have always been quite a shy person,

:15:38. > :15:44.but on stage I can be myself without being judged. It is fun to

:15:44. > :15:50.be judged for the audience and it is a proper cake. And it is this

:15:50. > :15:55.passion that led him to audition at the New York conservatory for

:15:55. > :15:59.dramatic parts. I thought the most ambitious place was a crack at New

:15:59. > :16:05.York, so I went to the audition and there were loads of people and it

:16:05. > :16:12.was quite scary and I felt pretty out of place. It turns out that I

:16:12. > :16:15.got in. This opportunity to train as a film and TV actor in the first

:16:15. > :16:20.two years and a stage performer in the third comes with a yearly price

:16:20. > :16:26.tag of more than �30,000, but his mum a meter isn't letting a figure

:16:26. > :16:32.like that get in the way of his dream -- his mother and metre.

:16:32. > :16:36.have remortgaged the house for �27,000. It does not even cover the

:16:36. > :16:40.first year, but we do have other bits. That includes money earned

:16:40. > :16:45.from busking, a 10,000 pound Career Development Loan and donations from

:16:45. > :16:51.his grandparents. But with so much at stake is the pressure on for him

:16:51. > :16:56.to succeed? There is no pressure. It is an opportunity. I want him to

:16:56. > :17:06.have that opportunity. It is there, and you have to do it. He flies to

:17:06. > :17:08.

:17:08. > :17:12.Good luck to you. The Things We do for our kids? That is above and

:17:12. > :17:15.beyond. We will tell you how he gets on.

:17:15. > :17:18.Well, it's been a very busy summer for Sunderland boss Steve Bruce.

:17:18. > :17:23.He's already signed nine players, and could still add more to his

:17:23. > :17:26.squad. Today the Black Cats' new look side was in pre-season

:17:26. > :17:31.training and Katie Gornall went to meet some of the new names on

:17:31. > :17:33.Wearside. It was a bit like the first day of

:17:33. > :17:38.school for Sunderland's players with new faces on the training

:17:38. > :17:41.pitch and it is the calibre of signings like Wes Brown and John

:17:41. > :17:46.O'Shea that persuaded the Black cats latest recruits to sign on the

:17:46. > :17:50.dotted line. Some of the players they have already signed was a big

:17:50. > :17:54.incentive, and just the ambition of the club on the size of the club is

:17:54. > :17:58.there for everyone to see. You need a strong squad and last season some

:17:58. > :18:03.of them were on fire at the start of the season, but with injuries

:18:03. > :18:07.and suspensions they blow up, but that will hopefully not be the case,

:18:07. > :18:11.and the squad is strong. Sunderland fans hope Craig Gardner will repeat

:18:11. > :18:17.the form that saw him score 10 goals from midfield last season. He

:18:17. > :18:21.has been joined on Sunderland by his former Birmingham team-mate

:18:21. > :18:26.Sebastian Larsson. I have worked with the gaffer before, and when he

:18:26. > :18:29.showed interest it was nice to know what you're coming to. And about

:18:29. > :18:35.what he thought about and all of his staff. That was a big part of

:18:35. > :18:38.it. And amongst some seasoned Premier League stars were -- are a

:18:38. > :18:42.player yet to feature in the top flight, but that could change for

:18:42. > :18:47.Kieran West would, with Craig court and out injured, has every chance

:18:47. > :18:51.of becoming the new No. 1. -- Craig Gordon out injured. It is almost

:18:51. > :18:55.like a whole new team at Sunderland. Not all of the new signings are

:18:55. > :18:58.here as some are yet to link up with the team but will do so ahead

:18:58. > :19:03.of the pre-season trip to Germany. The fans will get a chance to see

:19:03. > :19:05.the rest at York City tomorrow night.

:19:05. > :19:09.Middlesbrough goalkeeper Jason Steele will miss the start of the

:19:09. > :19:13.new season after breaking a bone in his wrist. The 20-year-old picked

:19:13. > :19:15.up the injury in training this morning and will be out for up to

:19:16. > :19:18.three months. Boro's first choice keeper had only just returned from

:19:18. > :19:28.England Under-21 duty. He'll now be replaced by teenager Connor Ripley

:19:28. > :19:29.

:19:29. > :19:32.as the squad set off for a pre- It's the dream of many a schoolboy

:19:32. > :19:35.to make it as a professional footballer and now a school in

:19:35. > :19:38.County Durham is hoping to help them realise that dream. Greenfield

:19:38. > :19:40.Community College in Newton Aycliffe is setting up a football

:19:40. > :19:44.academy with the help of former Sunderland and Darlington player

:19:44. > :19:51.Martin Gray which is thought to be the first of its kind in the

:19:51. > :19:55.country. Other schools and colleges may have Football academies, but

:19:55. > :19:58.this one will be different, taking boys and girls between the ages of

:19:58. > :20:02.11 and 16. It will combine the physical side with education on a

:20:02. > :20:06.football theme and will be no easy option. It is very, very

:20:06. > :20:10.disciplined and they have to meet the levels that they are set before

:20:10. > :20:14.they come into the academy. If the grades drop off, the academy gets

:20:14. > :20:16.away from them. They will work closely with the skill to make sure

:20:16. > :20:20.that the high standard of qualifications within the

:20:20. > :20:23.enrichment programme is delivered. Martin was one of the lucky ones to

:20:23. > :20:26.make as a professional with Sunderland and Darlington but

:20:26. > :20:30.acknowledges he could have done better at school. So he has

:20:30. > :20:34.recruited his old teacher to help out. Martin will say he never got

:20:34. > :20:37.anything out of school like what he wanted and he sees a need for

:20:37. > :20:41.children to keep engaged and keep learning. The beauty of the project

:20:41. > :20:44.is that Martin is working with elite footballers and I am bridging

:20:44. > :20:49.the learning gap to make sure they are engaged in learning whether

:20:49. > :20:52.they are not playing football, that they are learning is continuing.

:20:52. > :20:56.Competition for places will be tough, but for those who make the

:20:56. > :20:59.great -- graded is a chance to live the dream. Since I was young I

:20:59. > :21:03.wanted to play football and I have not had opportunities to become

:21:03. > :21:08.professional but this has given me a great opportunity. I am excited

:21:08. > :21:10.about it. It is a fabulous opportunity and the best 40

:21:10. > :21:14.children will be hand-picked, starting this Wednesday evening

:21:14. > :21:18.from the school trials. Hopefully we can find one or two in the next

:21:18. > :21:24.two or three years and promote them and hopefully help someone on their

:21:24. > :21:26.way. Let's hope so. Cricket, and Derbyshire have made

:21:26. > :21:29.an audacious bid to sign Durham all-rounder and former England

:21:29. > :21:32.captain Paul Collingwood. The county has tabled a 28-day notice

:21:32. > :21:34.on the player which means they can't officially speak to him until

:21:34. > :21:37.the end of that period. However, Look North understands the

:21:37. > :21:39.championship leaders are prepared to allow the 35-year-old to see

:21:39. > :21:42.what second division Derbyshire have to offer, although they hope

:21:42. > :21:45.he'll stay with his home county. Collingwood still has more than a

:21:45. > :21:49.year to run on his contract at Durham where he's recently returned

:21:49. > :21:51.to regular action after six years with England.

:21:52. > :21:54.His knock of 24 against Warwickshire last night wasn't

:21:55. > :21:59.enough to help Durham avoid their second Twenty20 defeat on the trot

:22:00. > :22:05.though. In a nail-biting finish it went right down to the wire with

:22:05. > :22:08.the Dynamos losing on the last ball of the game at Edgbaston. They now

:22:08. > :22:13.have to beat Northants on Thursday and hope other results go their way

:22:13. > :22:16.to have any hope of making it through to the quarter finals.

:22:16. > :22:19.Meanwhile Yorkshire are in the driving seat on the second day of

:22:19. > :22:22.their County Championship match against Worcestershire. After

:22:22. > :22:24.dismissing the visitors for 168, captain Andrew Gale and fast bowler

:22:24. > :22:33.Ajmal Shazad hit impressive half centuries to take Yorkshire to 367

:22:33. > :22:36.in reply. Was to shut our 82-4 in the second innings --

:22:36. > :22:39.Worcestershire are 82-4. Pottermania seems to be sweeping

:22:39. > :22:44.the country again, with the final chapter of the boy wizard saga set

:22:44. > :22:48.for release in cinemas this Friday. And in North Yorkshire, one man's

:22:48. > :22:51.come up with his own special tribute to Harry Potter.

:22:51. > :22:58.To find out more, Charlotte Leeming's been taking a bird's eye

:22:58. > :23:01.view. When the final Harry Potter film is

:23:01. > :23:07.released later this week it will mark the end of the most successful

:23:07. > :23:11.movie franchise the world has seen. As excitement from the fans bills,

:23:11. > :23:21.a tourist attraction near York has come up with a unique way to pay

:23:21. > :23:25.

:23:25. > :23:28.tribute to the boy was it. -- the Yes, amongst the pathways of the

:23:28. > :23:33.York a maze, a very special pattern has been cut into the hedge row. It

:23:33. > :23:39.is difficult to detect on the round -- ground, but becomes clear from

:23:39. > :23:43.the sky. Could this be the world's biggest puzzle? Two giant portraits

:23:43. > :23:48.of Harry Potter have been cut into the field. There are a few subtle

:23:48. > :23:52.differences which any the Eagle eyed will spot. We are flying high

:23:52. > :23:58.above it and you can see the hard work which has gone into it. The

:23:58. > :24:04.farmer designing the images used one million effects to create the

:24:04. > :24:09.camp. I think I might appreciated a bit more when I am back down on her.

:24:09. > :24:13.Teller's first of all why do Harry Potter theme this year? It was a

:24:13. > :24:16.bit of a family argument. My son and I were discussing it and I

:24:16. > :24:21.wanted to do the biggest spot the difference competition and my five

:24:21. > :24:26.year-old son wanted something to do with Harry Potter. We eventually

:24:26. > :24:29.settled on a compromise. It is a tribute to Harry Potter in the form

:24:29. > :24:32.of the world's biggest spot the difference competition. We have

:24:32. > :24:36.applied to the Guinness Book of World Records and hopefully we

:24:36. > :24:42.might get there and my son is happy because we have a bit of Harry

:24:42. > :24:48.Potter. So for Harry Potter maniacs this is an interesting maniac -- is

:24:48. > :24:52.as interesting way to get lost in the excitement. It is amazing. I

:24:52. > :25:01.hope he doesn't dress up like that when he is getting a harvest in!

:25:01. > :25:05.Not the most blazing hot of weeks in July. Let's look at the headline

:25:05. > :25:10.for tomorrow, and it will be fairly cold, a chilly breeze, but spells

:25:10. > :25:13.of sunshine. We will get pretty much a dry night through the

:25:13. > :25:17.evening and overnight for most evenings -- through most places.

:25:17. > :25:23.But quite chilly, and the temperatures dipping to around

:25:23. > :25:27.eight Celsius also where the skies are clear. Quite a cold July night

:25:27. > :25:31.to come. Through the morning, lots of sunshine at first, particularly

:25:31. > :25:35.in the north-east and for Northumberland, very pleasant on

:25:35. > :25:40.the coast. But always a chilly breeze, especially down the coast,

:25:40. > :25:43.and in the West we could see showers. There are one or two

:25:43. > :25:48.showers in North Yorkshire and the temperatures are down on what we

:25:48. > :25:52.would expect in the time of year. Just 16 or 17 Celsius, and 14 on

:25:52. > :25:55.the coast of Northumberland. It is all because of the chilly,

:25:55. > :25:59.northerly flow knocking the temperatures back. Turning to the

:25:59. > :26:02.West, one or two showers for the Lake District. Temperatures on the

:26:02. > :26:09.low side as well. The average for the time of year would be more like

:26:09. > :26:12.19 or 20 Celsius. Here is the big picture. A ridge of high pressure

:26:12. > :26:17.means a fine day on Thursday, probably the best of the week,

:26:17. > :26:21.before it topples in from the West with low pressure splashing in and

:26:21. > :26:25.wet-weather on Friday and it lasts through the start of the weekend. A

:26:25. > :26:30.bit of a squeeze on the isobars, and when they are closer together,

:26:30. > :26:36.but closer to the white lines, the stronger the winds. A little more

:26:36. > :26:40.detail. A pleasant day on Thursday in Cumbria. Temperatures recovering

:26:40. > :26:44.to the average before a wet Friday and a wet start to Saturday which

:26:44. > :26:48.should clear through the afternoon into sunshine and showers. But

:26:48. > :26:54.still the temperatures tending to be on the lower side. In the north-

:26:54. > :26:57.east, a similar picture. Great for the cricket on Thursday, 21 Celsius

:26:57. > :27:02.and very pleasant, but then the weather system brings cloud on

:27:02. > :27:05.Friday and showers on Saturday. Your forecast for the Great

:27:05. > :27:11.Yorkshire Show, looking good in the Vale of York, particularly on

:27:11. > :27:19.Thursday. Fine skies for the event. Miserable at the weekend. A

:27:19. > :27:23.There is pressure on News Corporation increasing with fresh

:27:23. > :27:26.accusations from the former prime minister Gordon Brown. An inquest
