:00:09. > :00:11.Welcome to Monday's Look North. In tonight's headlines, summertime in

:00:11. > :00:14.Cumbria. Flash flooding damages homes and cause a bridge to

:00:14. > :00:17.collapse. I'm just devastated. It's something you could not have

:00:17. > :00:20.predicted. A tiny little stream doing this immense amount of damage.

:00:20. > :00:23.An investigation's begun after a woman dies following a dive off the

:00:23. > :00:28.Northumberland coast. Legal battle for the family who

:00:28. > :00:31.lost a baby twin daughter. And no dough for Gregg's girl Helen.

:00:31. > :00:35.She won't be Lord Sugar's business partner.

:00:35. > :00:39.In sport, we'll round up the weekend's action. And Hartlepool,

:00:39. > :00:49.here we come! Why Hangus and the lads could be performing in front

:00:49. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:00.of a packed house at Victoria Park The full extent of damage caused by

:01:00. > :01:02.severe flash flooding became clear to the residents of a Cumbrian

:01:02. > :01:08.community today. A bridge collapsed and homes were damaged as a

:01:08. > :01:10.normally small beck turned into a torrent of water. People living in

:01:10. > :01:14.Great Corby near Carlisle, fear they could be forced to live

:01:14. > :01:22.elsewhere for months while repair work is carried out. Our reporter

:01:22. > :01:26.Alison Freeman is there for us now. Alison, tell us what happened.

:01:26. > :01:30.this is a place which doesn't normally Flood and it was that

:01:30. > :01:34.screen but was the cause of many of the problems. There was a downpour

:01:34. > :01:39.in the afternoon which caused a lot of surface water but then the

:01:39. > :01:42.bridges got caught with debris which caused the water to back up,

:01:42. > :01:48.knocking this wall down, and sending water flooding into the

:01:48. > :01:52.cottages which put behind us here. Further downstream, a bridge has

:01:52. > :01:58.been completely knocked out of use. Today, I had been talking to the

:01:58. > :02:02.people who live here. They tell me they can't believe what's happened.

:02:02. > :02:06.The force at which the water came in his career. But almost as

:02:06. > :02:10.quickly as it arrived yesterday afternoon, it sank away again. The

:02:10. > :02:15.mess it has made us left the house holders believing it will be months

:02:15. > :02:20.before they can live in the six affected homes again. Across the

:02:20. > :02:26.road, at the primary school, 70 pupils missed out on the sports day

:02:26. > :02:31.today. It burst its banks ripping up the new soft play ground

:02:31. > :02:35.services, covering the area in more than 30 tons of silt. I am just

:02:35. > :02:38.devastated. It is something you could not have predicted. A tiny

:02:38. > :02:45.little stream doing this amount amount of damage. I can't believe

:02:45. > :02:50.it. It's devastating. At the pub, the lack of gas meant no food could

:02:50. > :02:54.be served today. Gas suppliers could be off until Thursday. But

:02:54. > :02:59.the main concern here is the closed road. The collapsed bridge means

:02:59. > :03:04.that pub is now in a dead-end with a landlady fears could be fatal for

:03:04. > :03:09.business. From this road, we get 80% of our business. And from next

:03:09. > :03:14.week, when the children break up, I was hoping for the tourists, the

:03:14. > :03:19.cyclists, the Walkers, to come in but now they won't. They will delay

:03:19. > :03:24.the tour and not hit this pub at all. What does that mean in real

:03:24. > :03:28.terms? A worrying statement. It could mean the closure of the pub.

:03:28. > :03:33.The Environment Agency says this was a freak event and simply shows

:03:33. > :03:36.the complexities of planning for floods. I think in rural areas when

:03:36. > :03:42.you get intense rainfall it's almost impossible to predict where

:03:42. > :03:47.it might happen and almost impossible to stop it. But, for now,

:03:47. > :03:51.all the villagers can do is assess the damage.

:03:51. > :03:57.A total of six properties have been affected by the flooding. With me

:03:57. > :04:01.now is the owner of one of those. Tell me a little bit about what you

:04:01. > :04:07.found yesterday when you got home. We got back from town yesterday and

:04:07. > :04:11.just couldn't believe it. It was absolutely awesome, in one way. All

:04:11. > :04:16.the houses were completely flooded. I've never seen anything like it

:04:16. > :04:21.before. It was horrendous. Is this something which has happen to you

:04:21. > :04:24.before? No, and hopefully it will never happen again. One of the

:04:24. > :04:28.gentle man who lives in the village he was well into his eighties, came

:04:28. > :04:31.down yesterday and said he has lived here all of his life and is

:04:31. > :04:35.said never happened before. It's just one of those things, flash

:04:35. > :04:39.flooding can happen to anyone. Unfortunately, it happened to us

:04:39. > :04:44.yesterday. You live with your family in this house. Where are you

:04:44. > :04:48.going to go and when do you think you will be back? The we have the

:04:48. > :04:53.insurance on the case. I think we will be out of the House for six

:04:53. > :04:56.months. We will stay in a hotel and then we could go into rented

:04:56. > :05:02.accommodation. It will take six or eight weeks to for the house to dry

:05:02. > :05:06.out and then for it to be rewired and replastered. Thanks very much.

:05:06. > :05:11.We know the editor of the tea is back on. The gas will be back on by

:05:11. > :05:18.Thursday but there road closure no one knows when it will be up and

:05:18. > :05:22.running again. -- the electricity is back on. Back to you.

:05:22. > :05:25.The rest of the day's news now. A carer has appeared in court to deny

:05:25. > :05:28.neglecting a dementia sufferer who died in an old people's home in

:05:28. > :05:32.South Shields. Daphne Joseph from South Shields will go on trial next

:05:32. > :05:35.year. She was arrested after an investigation at the Saint

:05:35. > :05:37.Michael's View care home run by Southern Cross. Among the residents

:05:37. > :05:42.was Joyce Wordingham, who suffered from Alzheimers and who died in

:05:42. > :05:45.February last year. In a separate hearing, Sean Abbott, a care worker

:05:45. > :05:47.from Gainsborough Avenue in South Shields, was accused of assault

:05:47. > :05:52.charges in relation to four patients at the same home. They

:05:52. > :05:54.were both granted bail. Three people have been charged with

:05:54. > :06:00.invading a football pitch, following trouble at Darlington's

:06:00. > :06:03.pre-season friendly with Newcastle on Friday night. A 21-year-old man

:06:03. > :06:06.from Newcastle and a 22-year-old man from Gateshead will appear

:06:06. > :06:11.before Darlington magistrates next Tuesday. A 17-year-old Darlington

:06:11. > :06:14.youth will appear before the town's youth court next month.

:06:14. > :06:17.A Cumbrian firm has been fined �90,000 after two workers suffered

:06:17. > :06:23.life-threatening injuries when they were engulfed by a fireball at its

:06:23. > :06:26.factory in Wigton. The prosecution was brought by the Health and

:06:26. > :06:31.Safety Executive, following the fire at Innovia films in September

:06:31. > :06:34.2006. The fire was caused by an electrical fault.

:06:34. > :06:37.A woman who died during a diving expedition off the Northumberland

:06:37. > :06:40.coast has been named. Doctor Ruth Fletcher, who was 60 years-old and

:06:40. > :06:45.from the Stocksfield area of the county, surfaced unconscious during

:06:45. > :06:48.a dive off the island of Longstone near Seahouses yesterday afternoon.

:06:48. > :06:57.She was airlifted to hospital but soon after was pronounced dead by

:06:57. > :07:02.doctors. Adele Robinson reports. A weekend diving trip turned to

:07:02. > :07:07.tragedy. Dr Ruth Fletcher was a amongst a group of divers who had

:07:07. > :07:11.been visiting a site next to the islands but yesterday at around

:07:11. > :07:15.12:30pm she fell unconscious while surfacing from a dive. When she was

:07:15. > :07:20.pulled out, she had no pulse. a tragedy. There's nothing you can

:07:20. > :07:23.really say about it. Tragic circumstances. Everybody did their

:07:23. > :07:29.level best to help this lady. Unfortunately, we couldn't do

:07:29. > :07:34.anything this time. Emergency services were called and CPR was

:07:34. > :07:38.carried out. A nearby helicopter winched dr Fletcher from the

:07:38. > :07:42.harbour to the local hospital where she was pronounced dead.

:07:42. > :07:49.Unfortunately, this is the first fatality in quite a long time

:07:49. > :07:54.involving divers. The first one I have come across in 10 or 15 years.

:07:54. > :08:02.It's believed Dr Ruth Fletcher had been diving 50 metres dialled and

:08:02. > :08:05.at the Longstone aside six miles out. On her website, in broad and,

:08:05. > :08:11.she is described as a keen sportswoman who has enjoyed

:08:11. > :08:16.national success. Among her clinical interests listed were

:08:16. > :08:19.medical examinations for divers and for the oil and gas industry. It's

:08:19. > :08:23.still not known exactly what happened out there, but there are

:08:23. > :08:28.obvious risks involved in deep diving and it is known as a

:08:28. > :08:31.potential hazard the sport. It is a hazardous sport. People

:08:31. > :08:35.participating need to be particularly careful. Great care

:08:35. > :08:39.needs to be taken. Generally speaking, I think they have a

:08:39. > :08:43.pretty high safety record now. We don't get the call-outs we used to

:08:43. > :08:47.get some years ago but occasionally, unfortunately, an accident does

:08:47. > :08:50.happen and when it does happen, it can be serious. The police say

:08:50. > :08:57.inquiries are taking place to establish the exact circumstances

:08:57. > :09:00.of the incident and a report is being prepared for the coroner.

:09:01. > :09:03.They suffered the heartbreak of losing a baby. Now a couple from

:09:04. > :09:07.Teesside are considering legal action against a hospital. Named

:09:07. > :09:11.Rose, she was stillborn but her parents blame a delay in inducing

:09:11. > :09:14.the birth. Her identical twin sister did survive. But the family

:09:14. > :09:21.believe extra pressures on the maternity unit at the time may have

:09:21. > :09:25.held up the delivery. Peter Harris reports.

:09:25. > :09:31.Faith survived. But her parents struggle with knowing she should

:09:31. > :09:35.have had an identical twin sister. At 38 weeks, Debbie had a scan and

:09:35. > :09:38.says she was told the births would be induced that night or next day.

:09:38. > :09:48.In the event, that didn't happen till after a weekend and Rose was

:09:48. > :09:49.

:09:49. > :09:57.stillborn. We already bought two coats -- cots, double pushchair,

:09:57. > :10:00.everything I've had to get rid of and it has not our fault at all.

:10:00. > :10:06.It's just really hard. The James Cook Hospital carried out an

:10:06. > :10:11.investigation into Rose's death. It says it tries to avoid inducing

:10:11. > :10:15.babies in complicated situation that weekends because of a lack of

:10:15. > :10:18.specialists staff but in these letters to the parents, it admits

:10:18. > :10:28.the two-day delay in giving birth to Rose might have made a

:10:28. > :10:37.

:10:37. > :10:40.The twins were born in 2009 at a time when the nearby Friarage

:10:40. > :10:43.maternity unit in Northallerton was closed due to staff shortages. The

:10:43. > :10:48.Trust declined to comment on the family claims this may have added

:10:48. > :10:55.to pressures at Middlesbrough. They plan to sue. It's not about the

:10:55. > :11:04.money. If we can help anybody else in the long run, in the future, and

:11:04. > :11:07.save anybody else's children, well, then that will be enough for me.

:11:07. > :11:10.Plenty more to come in tonight's Look North. Find out what's next

:11:10. > :11:13.for the Gregg's girl who came runner up in the Apprentice. The

:11:13. > :11:19.cocoa that went with Scott to the Antarctic and other chocolate

:11:19. > :11:24.making history. And after that wild weekend weather Wise, the next few

:11:24. > :11:30.days are looking more settled? No, not really. I will have more

:11:30. > :11:33.details shortly. We're going to kick-off a new

:11:33. > :11:36.series now, speaking to people from our region who have made a bit of

:11:36. > :11:41.an impact. Appropriately enough, the first of our headliners is in

:11:41. > :11:48.the media business. In fact, he's right at the heart of of everything

:11:48. > :11:51.that's going on, right now in the world of newspapers and of politics.

:11:51. > :11:55.If you follow the goings-on at Westminster, you will have heard

:11:55. > :11:59.about and heard from Kevin Maguire, the Daily Mirror's political man

:11:59. > :12:08.and associate editor has a column in the New Statesman magazine and

:12:08. > :12:13.is a TV and regular radio host. In South Shields, he is great crack.

:12:13. > :12:17.like getting out and meeting them. Asking them tricky questions. I

:12:17. > :12:20.remember being told, don't be frightened of anybody, don't be

:12:21. > :12:24.intimidated. You might get shout that occasionally by a politician

:12:24. > :12:31.but they are never going to hit you. Unless it's John Prescott, of

:12:31. > :12:35.course. Gordon Brown, terribly grumpy in his public image. He is a

:12:35. > :12:41.hoot in private. He loves football, tell jokes, has a drink. You would

:12:41. > :12:45.never see that, the public. You never saw it on TV, on radio. I

:12:45. > :12:49.love it pulling the Leader David Cameron because he's incredibly

:12:49. > :12:56.thin skinned. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but an

:12:56. > :13:02.entire dinner said. He wants to be taken seriously. -- dinner set. He

:13:02. > :13:06.got a job with the Tory party as a researcher. Somebody ran at a

:13:06. > :13:10.Buckingham Palace and put in a word. I like pulling his leg and

:13:10. > :13:14.reminding him of that. We don't have to balance grape. The papers

:13:14. > :13:17.themselves were making the news lately. All three Westminster

:13:17. > :13:21.parties there they will vote for News Corporation to abandon its

:13:21. > :13:26.takeover of BSkyB. The News Corporation boss bows to relentless

:13:26. > :13:31.pressure after prices -- crisis talks with his top executives.

:13:31. > :13:34.it something anybody knew about really? I love newspapers and I

:13:34. > :13:39.thought I knew everything that went on but the extent of the telephone

:13:39. > :13:44.hacking revelations are completely surprising to me. I'm totally blind

:13:44. > :13:47.side by it. If you had to will be the News of the World were close, I

:13:47. > :13:52.would believe it. Then again, I wouldn't believe a newspaper would

:13:52. > :13:56.hack into the voice messages of Milly Dowler, a girl who had been

:13:56. > :14:01.abducted and then delete some of them when her voice mail was full

:14:01. > :14:06.up. That wasn't journalism but in humanity. Fleet Street is dog-eat-

:14:06. > :14:10.dog but no one wants to see a newspaper closing. You like to see

:14:10. > :14:15.your rivals taken down a peg or two but to do more on the passing of a

:14:15. > :14:20.paper. Something like the News of the World, OK, it was a fierce

:14:20. > :14:25.commercial rival but had 168 years of history. In 1843, when it was

:14:25. > :14:29.founded, it carried one of the first reviews of a Christmas Carol

:14:29. > :14:34.by Charles Dickens. All the sudden, it was a bad place but were

:14:34. > :14:44.sacrificed by a management who really should have gone and the

:14:44. > :14:50.

:14:50. > :14:54.If you cannot beat them, you can join them! There will always be a

:14:54. > :15:01.future for newspapers, even with all the modern developments. People

:15:01. > :15:09.like to read it in trains, even in the bath if you want to. As long as

:15:09. > :15:12.we can get enough people to buy them, it will be OK.

:15:12. > :15:15.Easy as that! Well, here's someone else in the news, but not making

:15:15. > :15:18.the headlines many people thought she would. Helen Milligan, who

:15:18. > :15:21.lives in Northumberland and who's the Personal Assistant to the boss

:15:21. > :15:23.of North East bakers, Greggs. She'd been tipped to become Lord Alan

:15:23. > :15:26.Sugar's new business partner, after reaching last night's final of "The

:15:26. > :15:36.Apprentice." Things didn't go quite according to plan. But there is a

:15:36. > :15:39.

:15:39. > :15:42.This is not a job. I am looking for someone who has got a brain and

:15:42. > :15:45.will start a business with me. For a few heart-stopping minutes

:15:45. > :15:48.Helen Milligan was just two words away from Lord Sugar's �250,000

:15:48. > :15:56.investment. But in the end those words went to the man sitting next

:15:56. > :16:04.to her. Tom, you are hired. Helen failed at the very last, and most

:16:04. > :16:09.crucial, hurdle: the business plan. I feel terribly disappointed, to be

:16:09. > :16:12.honest, to be frank with you. Where was your head? Are I understand

:16:12. > :16:17.what you were saying... Her idea for a national concierge service

:16:17. > :16:23.didn't impress Lord Sugar or his team of business experts.

:16:23. > :16:26.obviously disappointed, emotional watching it back. My Achilles heel

:16:26. > :16:29.was always going to be that I had never started my business. Helen's

:16:30. > :16:33.been described as a workaholic with little or no social life. She was

:16:33. > :16:35.so focussed on her tasks, she even forgot the date of her own 30th

:16:36. > :16:38.birthday while filming the series. Today her employer Greggs praised

:16:38. > :16:41.her outstanding performance in reaching the final and eased the

:16:41. > :16:48.pain of her disappointment with a little business incentive of their

:16:48. > :16:53.own. The great news is that Helen will do a very senior role within

:16:53. > :16:58.the business. She is away at the moment because the media are very

:16:58. > :17:02.interested in her, but the -- she will be back within a week. She has

:17:02. > :17:08.always wanted to do this type of role and it will be good for her

:17:08. > :17:11.and ours. It seems Helen will have her cake, pie or pasty and eat it!

:17:11. > :17:14.From the bakers to the confectioners, and the city of York,

:17:14. > :17:16.which has been at the centre of chocolate production for more than

:17:17. > :17:22.a century. Henry Rowntree founded his first factory there, back in

:17:22. > :17:25.1862. Well, the company was taken over by Nestle UK in the 1980s, but

:17:25. > :17:35.it's still proud of its past. And now a state-of-the-art archive has

:17:35. > :17:38.

:17:38. > :17:44.been set up at Nestle HQ in York. Amanda Harper reports.

:17:44. > :17:49.1932, when the factory girls were in it for two as they packed top up

:17:49. > :17:54.boxes here. It is this rich history captured on film that the company

:17:54. > :17:58.are keen to cherish in their new archive. It is great to have this

:17:58. > :18:03.it did -- all together in one place. We can use it for research as well

:18:03. > :18:06.as going into the community to show people what we have here.

:18:06. > :18:11.state-of-the-art facility is packed with history from old catalogues

:18:11. > :18:15.and packaging to these quirky characters. Just take a look at

:18:15. > :18:25.this huge Ed Balls that dates back to the roaring 1920s when life was

:18:25. > :18:31.

:18:31. > :18:36.lived to excess and no expense Big and bold romantic gestures made

:18:36. > :18:42.here in York would laugh, but the company actually travelled far and

:18:42. > :18:52.wide. This is the 10 of cocoa that was with Scott of the Antarctic

:18:52. > :18:52.

:18:52. > :18:56.when he died. We -- a rescue party went to find him seven months after

:18:56. > :19:04.he died and they found Visteon and we have kept it in the archive ever

:19:04. > :19:12.since. The archive gives us a taste of our chocolate loving society.

:19:12. > :19:16.These products of the past can be enjoyed for many years to come.

:19:16. > :19:19.Easter egg chocolate always tastes are different, doesn't it? I do not

:19:19. > :19:22.know why it! Time for sport now, and Newcastle

:19:22. > :19:25.off to the USA for a pre season tour without another player.

:19:25. > :19:28.Yes, Joey Barton and Nile Ranger already stopped from going because

:19:28. > :19:31.of their criminal convictions, and now it seems new signing Yohan

:19:31. > :19:34.Cabaye is the third player to be denied a visa. Apparently it's due

:19:34. > :19:38.to some minor technicality, but it means he'll also be going to the

:19:38. > :19:42.Netherlands on the reserve tour. Sunderland have made another

:19:42. > :19:45.signing today but it's not another player. The club has signed a

:19:45. > :19:51.partnership agreement with top Ghanian side Asante Kotoko as they

:19:51. > :19:54.aim to promote the club in Africa. The Black Cats want to capitalise

:20:07. > :20:09.their first signing of the summer. France U21 midfielder Malaury

:20:09. > :20:14.Martin has agreed a one-year contract after impressing Tony

:20:14. > :20:19.Mowbray during a short trial. He's captained his country at youth

:20:19. > :20:21.level and made his debut in Boro's win in Croatia yesterday.

:20:21. > :20:24.Now, more than a few eyebrows were raised when Hartlepool United

:20:24. > :20:29.announced adult season tickets for just �100, assuming 4,000 fans

:20:29. > :20:31.signed up for the special offer. Well, by Friday's deadline nearly

:20:31. > :20:41.6,000 supporters had pledged to trump up the cash, surprising even

:20:41. > :20:45.

:20:45. > :20:47.A dangerous gamble or a genius marketing ploy? One thing is

:20:47. > :20:51.certain. They'll be seeing much bigger crowds at Victoria Park this

:20:51. > :20:55.season thanks to an offer many have found too good to turn down as it's

:20:55. > :20:58.three times cheaper than an early bird season ticket 12 months ago.

:20:58. > :21:03.Nearly 5,700 beat Friday's �100 deadline for a club with a stadium

:21:03. > :21:06.capacity of just shy of 8,000. Season tickets at the slightly

:21:06. > :21:16.higher price of �150 are now available until the end of the

:21:16. > :21:17.

:21:17. > :21:21.month after which they'll more than double. We have dropped the crowds

:21:21. > :21:24.by 2,500 so we wanted to do something to inspire people to come

:21:24. > :21:30.back to Victoria Park and support the team, get people behind the

:21:30. > :21:33.team and hopefully that would spur them on to get better results. The

:21:33. > :21:40.people in been ground will have extra money in their pockets to buy

:21:40. > :21:44.programmes and food. Also from a commercial point of view, Our

:21:44. > :21:50.Sponsors and advertisers are more likely to do business with us up

:21:50. > :21:54.with 6,000 in the ground than 2,500. The marketing wing has certainly

:21:54. > :21:59.helped, but with dozens of football clubs struggling with dwindling

:21:59. > :22:04.crowds, have the team found a long- term solution? I have said that

:22:04. > :22:10.this is what you have to do to get the fans back to the turnstiles,

:22:10. > :22:14.take a bit of a risk and coming up with a deal that can try to give

:22:14. > :22:18.something back to people. It is typical in this financial climate

:22:18. > :22:21.because people do not have the money that they had to spend on

:22:21. > :22:25.football before. Clubs up and down the country would be daft not to do

:22:25. > :22:28.something like this next year. Thousands of hardy souls braved the

:22:28. > :22:32.unseasonal weather to take part in the third annual Great North 10k

:22:32. > :22:35.yesterday. More than 5,000 competitors, from elite racers to

:22:35. > :22:37.fun runners, took part along a new course through the streets of

:22:37. > :22:42.Gateshead and along the Quayside before crossing the finishing line

:22:42. > :22:45.at the International Stadium. British International Scott Overall

:22:45. > :22:50.was the men's winner while Louise Damen took the honours for the

:22:50. > :23:00.women. But it was a day where everyone who battled through the

:23:00. > :23:01.

:23:01. > :23:08.soggy conditions deserved a medal. 10 kilometres, it leads up to it

:23:08. > :23:15.several weeks before the major run. It is a nice race. I would

:23:15. > :23:21.recommend this before the main event. The last time I did 10 K was

:23:21. > :23:25.a while ago. The last hill was tough, but apart from that it was

:23:25. > :23:27.great. It was a wonderful course, absolutely Fabulous.

:23:27. > :23:31.Durham's pro40 match against Surrey yesterday was a complete washout.

:23:31. > :23:34.These were the scenes at Chester le Street as the rain spoiled the day

:23:34. > :23:38.once again. But the dreadful conditions didn't stop the golfers

:23:38. > :23:41.at the British Open at Sandwich. This birdie on the 7th to take him

:23:41. > :23:45.three over par was as good as it got for Ashington's Ken Ferrie

:23:45. > :23:49.though who went on to finish second last with 21 over. But York's Simon

:23:49. > :23:52.Dyson put in a great performance in atrocious conditions to end up two

:23:52. > :24:02.over par for the tournament to take a share of ninth place and make him

:24:02. > :24:09.

:24:09. > :24:12.the top ranked Englishman in the What a terrible weekend in terms of

:24:12. > :24:18.weather. There is more rain on the way as

:24:18. > :24:22.well, you're going to tell us? Yes. The week ahead does not bode

:24:22. > :24:28.too well for the next couple of days. Most of us will see more

:24:28. > :24:32.showers and they will be a heavy again. There'll be some brightness,

:24:32. > :24:36.and later in the week things will dry up. Heavy showers around that

:24:36. > :24:40.the minute. We gradually see them becoming less widespread as we head

:24:40. > :24:44.through the night. Most places will be dry by morning, just the odd

:24:44. > :24:49.shower hanging on across the North Yorkshire coast, a couple in parts

:24:49. > :24:55.of Cumbria, but mostly dry by the morning. Temperatures no lower than

:24:55. > :25:00.11 or 12. Very light winds overnight as well. Tomorrow, we

:25:00. > :25:04.have got a Met Office warning for those heavy showers. We could see

:25:04. > :25:10.between 10 mm and 20 mm of rain in some places in the space of an hour.

:25:10. > :25:13.That is a lot of rain and that is likely to cause localised flooding.

:25:14. > :25:17.Mostly a dry start to the day, a bit of brightness, but the clouds

:25:17. > :25:22.will bubble up and that will produce some showers in the morning.

:25:22. > :25:26.By the afternoon, those showers will be slow maul -- slow-moving

:25:26. > :25:32.across parts of the north-east. Cumbria escaped the worst of the

:25:32. > :25:38.showers, but it is this cloudy and generally try it weather. The

:25:38. > :25:43.temperatures should peak around 20 degrees. With those very well light

:25:43. > :25:48.winds, catch a heavy shower and it is going nowhere fast. Heavy

:25:48. > :25:52.downpours in the latter part of tomorrow afternoon, especially in

:25:52. > :25:56.the eastern areas. It is not just sunny spells and scattered showers,

:25:56. > :26:01.the showers are up there because of the low pressure. The weather

:26:01. > :26:07.fronts are draped around it. Next week, the -- the middle part of the

:26:07. > :26:14.week, there will be more rain as well. The showers will be less of a

:26:14. > :26:19.problem towards the end of the wake -- week. Tomorrow, plenty of

:26:19. > :26:24.showers in the east. By Wednesday, the brain becomes more widespread,

:26:24. > :26:30.but temperatures making it into the high teens. For Thursday, the odd

:26:30. > :26:34.shower around still. The West will see the worst. By Friday, the

:26:34. > :26:39.showers are few and far between. A couple in the east, but by that

:26:39. > :26:43.time the temperatures will be struggling. Whatever the weather is

:26:43. > :26:48.doing, you can send us your to light weather pictures to the usual

:26:48. > :26:50.address. Now for a look at tonight's

:26:50. > :26:52.headlines. John Yates, the assistant commissioner of the

:26:52. > :26:56.Metropolitan Police, has resigned as the phone hacking scandal claims

:26:56. > :27:00.another top officer. His boss, Sir Paul Stephenson, stepped down

:27:00. > :27:03.yesterday. And people living in a Cumbrian

:27:03. > :27:07.village have begun clearing up after a heavy downpour turned a

:27:07. > :27:12.normally small beck into a torrent. Homes were flooded and a bridge

:27:12. > :27:14.collapsed. And that's almost it. Join us for

:27:14. > :27:21.tomorrow's Look North, an exclusive preview of Batman Live which opens

:27:21. > :27:31.in Manchester tonight, and comes to Newcastle next week. It's a visual
