:00:04. > :00:06.Welcome to Friday's programme. Tonight, a Look North exclusive. As
:00:07. > :00:12.the hunt for suspected murderer Graeme Jarman goes nationwide, his
:00:12. > :00:19.oldest friend appeals for him to give himself up. Graeme, if you're
:00:19. > :00:23.out there, don't leave it any longer. Find someone you know, turn
:00:23. > :00:27.yourself into the police. Also tonight, the man who caused
:00:27. > :00:30.this trail of destruction in a stolen bus is jailed.
:00:30. > :00:34.Not playing by the rules - fears that our egg farmers could be
:00:34. > :00:38.driven out of business by Euro cheats.
:00:38. > :00:42.And a genuine storm in a tea cup, as brewers fight over the right to
:00:42. > :00:47.use a brand name. In sport, what does Alan Shearer
:00:47. > :00:50.think of the Magpies' number nine vacancy?
:00:50. > :00:53.And just how nervous will the parents of this young Cumbrian be
:00:53. > :01:03.if he makes the England team for tomorrow's One-Day cricket
:01:03. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:10.It's now two weeks since 77 year- old Judith Richardson was found
:01:10. > :01:14.battered to death at her home in Hexham, in Northumberland. And the
:01:14. > :01:17.man suspected of murdering her, Graeme Jarman, is still at large.
:01:17. > :01:21.He's now the focus of a nationwide manhunt, and has a price on his
:01:21. > :01:24.head. We have two reports coming up. First, let's go live to Peter
:01:24. > :01:34.Harris, who's outside the house in Hexham where Judith Richardson
:01:34. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:45.lived. It is now two weeks since Judith Richardson was discovered
:01:46. > :01:50.but more than two weeks since Graeme Jarman disappeared. More
:01:50. > :01:56.information has been released, we will come back to that. Firstly we
:01:56. > :02:02.already know some things about this man. He is a convicted sex offender,
:02:02. > :02:06.he has convictions for armed robberies, for indecent assault and
:02:06. > :02:10.there is another side to this month. Our chief reporter has been in
:02:10. > :02:16.London on the trail of one of Jarman's oldest friends and as you
:02:16. > :02:18.will see now, he paints a different picture. He is the's man every
:02:18. > :02:23.police officer in the country is looking for.
:02:24. > :02:28.A rapist, rubber and now a suspected murderer. So was Graeme
:02:28. > :02:32.Jarman always a monster in the making? Martin McRae, now a senior
:02:32. > :02:36.health service manager, has known him since they started school
:02:36. > :02:40.together as five-year-olds at Lanchester in County Durham. Your
:02:40. > :02:45.heart goes out of the people who have been the victim of crimes like
:02:45. > :02:51.this and this one in particular. You think, that is not the lad I
:02:51. > :02:55.knew. It makes you think almost, did I miss something? And I don't
:02:55. > :02:59.think I did. He was a decent lad, a good friend, I would still say that
:02:59. > :03:04.even know what has turned out 20 years on has been very, very
:03:04. > :03:09.different to what I knew. Other old friends say it Jarman's personality
:03:09. > :03:14.changed when, as a young man, he was told he had been adopted as a
:03:14. > :03:19.child. Martin, though, is not so sure. For any of us, that would be
:03:19. > :03:25.a big shock, is that they reason to go on and do this? You cannot draw
:03:25. > :03:30.that conclusion, can you? But what you can say is that until leaving
:03:30. > :03:36.school at 18, and I assume he knew nothing about that at the time,
:03:36. > :03:40.there was no indication that there was any badness in the man and were
:03:40. > :03:46.that something like that tries partners in to you. It may have
:03:46. > :03:51.been a tipping point. Difficult to imagine what his mother is going
:03:51. > :03:56.through at the moment? A lovely woman and always kind in my
:03:56. > :04:04.experience. She would bring us a glass of orange juice out when we
:04:04. > :04:09.were tiny. She did everything that friends' parents do for you
:04:09. > :04:14.enclosed community life. She has asked for Graeme Jarman to give
:04:14. > :04:24.himself up. What would you say to him if you could? Exec in the same.
:04:24. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:34.Graeme, if you are out there, Turn IT yourself in it to the police. Do
:04:34. > :04:38.not run away from the police. And I would say that today and I am sure
:04:38. > :04:48.that is what everybody else would say to him. Listen Timmy, Graeme,
:04:48. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:51.that is what you should do. So, the hunt goes on.
:04:51. > :04:58.Peter, the police released some new information about Jarman this
:04:58. > :05:02.afternoon. What can you tell us? has a gambling habit, and people
:05:02. > :05:05.think he has blown hundreds of pounds in the past few weeks and
:05:05. > :05:09.people believe he has been desperate to recover those losses.
:05:09. > :05:15.And they reckon that may have been significant in the events that
:05:15. > :05:21.followed. Graeme Jarman in the bookies.
:05:21. > :05:26.Pictures which might be more significant than first thought.
:05:26. > :05:33.know that he enjoys gambling but we also know that he has had a problem
:05:33. > :05:38.with it for a long time. We do believe that before the murder of
:05:38. > :05:42.Miss Richardson, he may have lost several hundred pounds through
:05:42. > :05:50.gambling which may have been the trigger for some rather irrational
:05:50. > :05:54.behaviour. I think if it makes sense to him, he will know that
:05:54. > :05:57.walking into any police station and taking the stress out of the
:05:57. > :06:04.situation is the right thing to do, I am confident he will know that.
:06:04. > :06:14.And so the police search for Graeme Jarman is focusing on betting shops
:06:14. > :06:17.
:06:17. > :06:21.as well as hotels and the public transport network. Graeme Jarman as
:06:21. > :06:25.-- goes missing from his home in Consett. On August 19th, Judith
:06:25. > :06:31.Richardson is discovered having been beaten to death with a hammer.
:06:31. > :06:35.He is seen at a bookies in Saltburn on August 22nd, then spotted
:06:35. > :06:42.shopping in Teesside and last Friday, another sighting, this time
:06:42. > :06:46.boarding a bus on Stockton High Street. Since then, nothing. The
:06:46. > :06:51.police accept he could be anywhere and tonight they launched a
:06:51. > :06:55.nationwide manhunt. Graeme Jarman is now officially a suspect in the
:06:55. > :06:58.investigation into the murder of Judith Richardson and today, her
:06:58. > :07:03.family issued a statement saying what has happened to them is
:07:03. > :07:07.horrific and they are urging the public to help the police.
:07:07. > :07:15.It is not two weeks since Judith Richardson was found bludgeoned to
:07:15. > :07:19.death at home in Hexham and tonight a �5,000 reward is on offer from
:07:19. > :07:25.Crimestoppers for information which leads to the conviction of Miss
:07:25. > :07:30.Richardson's killer. The police are reiterating tonight,
:07:30. > :07:34.do not approach Graeme Jarman, you would not be surprised hearing the
:07:34. > :07:44.information we have given you, but we have got officers from three of
:07:44. > :07:53.the region's police forces, Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland
:07:53. > :07:56.and several working exclusively on Detectives investigating the murder
:07:56. > :07:59.of an elderly man have recovered remains from the back garden of a
:07:59. > :08:02.house in Gateshead. 85-year-old Francis Willis, who lived on the
:08:02. > :08:04.Leam Lane Estate, hasn't been seen for two weeks. His son, who's also
:08:04. > :08:14.called Francis, appeared before magistrates earlier today and was
:08:14. > :08:17.charged with murder. A man's been crushed to death by a
:08:17. > :08:20.concrete staircase in Workington. Martin McGlasson, 37, was working
:08:20. > :08:26.on it this morning when it collapsed at ACP Concrete, at Clay
:08:26. > :08:29.Flatts in the town. "It's one of the worst cases of
:08:29. > :08:32.dangerous driving I've ever seen". The words today of a judge
:08:32. > :08:34.sentencing a County Durham man, who stole a bus and caused nearly
:08:34. > :08:37.�70,000 worth of damage. 20-year- old Adam Winfield from Trimdon
:08:37. > :08:40.knocked into cars, walls, telegraph poles and power lines when he stole
:08:40. > :08:46.the vehicle in April. He eventually crashed the bus in Shotton Colliery.
:08:46. > :08:51.Stuart Whincup reports. This is where Adam Winfield's trail
:08:51. > :08:54.of destruction ended. He'd crashed into cars, knocked down power lines
:08:55. > :09:02.before ending up in a front garden, just a few feet from one family's
:09:02. > :09:09.front room. It was horrendous because I would be quite honest, it
:09:09. > :09:14.made me shake. I was absolutely petrified. When I got my senses
:09:14. > :09:18.back to where they should be, I went to the front door thinking
:09:18. > :09:21.there would be a plane or something. Winfield had taken the coach from
:09:21. > :09:25.Peterlee Bus Station. He then drove the two miles to Shotton Colliery,
:09:25. > :09:30.crashing into half a dozen cars, before finally stopping. Today the
:09:30. > :09:35.court heard the clean-up bill was a big one. Northern Electric said it
:09:35. > :09:39.spent �25,000 on staff and repair work following the crash. Arriva
:09:39. > :09:49.said it had to spend �25,000 on a new bus. And residents estimated
:09:49. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:58.the damage to their cars and property was around �15,000. --
:09:58. > :10:02.The judge said that the mayhem would horrify anyone listing. He
:10:02. > :10:07.said it was one of the worst cases of dangerous driving he had ever
:10:07. > :10:10.known. Driving on the wrong side of the road, without lights on,
:10:11. > :10:15.crashing into cars and gardens, the damage was estimated at tens of
:10:15. > :10:24.thousands of pounds. A custodial sentence of 12 months was the only
:10:24. > :10:27.Sunderland Football Club today argued that a lunchtime kick-off at
:10:27. > :10:31.their match against Stoke City, which will take place on the same
:10:31. > :10:34.day as the Great North Run, was the best option for fans. As we told
:10:34. > :10:37.you on last night's Look North, organisers of the run fear
:10:37. > :10:40.transport chaos and point out that many of those taking part or
:10:40. > :10:43.watching will also be football fans who won't be able to get to the
:10:43. > :10:46.game. The clash of fixtures means more than 90,000 sports fans could
:10:46. > :10:49.be in the region at the same time. Here's our correspondent, Mark
:10:49. > :10:53.Denten. The Great North Run involves 54,000
:10:53. > :11:02.runners. A home match at the Stadium Of Light, 40,000 fans. And
:11:02. > :11:06.this year, both will be on the same day. Bizarrely, this complicated
:11:06. > :11:10.web of sporting events has come together because I up the success
:11:10. > :11:14.of Stoke City. They have qualified for the group stages of the Europa
:11:14. > :11:22.League and what that means is fixture congestion and that also
:11:22. > :11:25.means that Stoke City will play Sunderland here at 1 o'clock on the
:11:25. > :11:30.day of the Great North Run. Organisers of the Great North Run
:11:30. > :11:34.say that will mean travel chaos. Our biggest concern is for people
:11:34. > :11:39.who will be leaving the area of the finish line and travelling south
:11:39. > :11:43.because as they arrive in and around Sunderland, 40,000 fans will
:11:43. > :11:46.be leaving the Stadium of Light. We are disappointed that we were not
:11:46. > :11:50.consulted about the change to the One o'clock kick-off on the Sunday,
:11:50. > :11:55.a real surprise to us and we found out on the internet on Wednesday
:11:55. > :12:04.evening. But at Sunderland, they're relaxed
:12:04. > :12:08.at the fixture clash. It will allow the people of South Tyneside fair
:12:08. > :12:14.access and a fair chance to the metro system before the bulk of the
:12:14. > :12:17.runners have finished. Organisers of both events say
:12:17. > :12:20.they're now determined to make both a success.
:12:20. > :12:25.British egg farmers have spent millions of pounds, to meet new
:12:25. > :12:27.European regulations, due in January. But because some EU
:12:27. > :12:33.countries haven't bothered, the commission is thinking about giving
:12:33. > :12:35.them extra time. The fear is, home farmers might now be undercut by
:12:35. > :12:38.their continental competitors, and some might even go out of business.
:12:38. > :12:41.Keith Akehurst reports from the North East's biggest egg producer.
:12:41. > :12:44.For 50 years and four generations, Derwent Valley Eggs has been
:12:44. > :12:49.supplying the North East. From big supermarkets to corner shops, a
:12:49. > :12:52.quarter of a million birds producing 200,000 eggs a day. The
:12:52. > :12:54.Tulip family have spent �6 million in six years removing the old
:12:54. > :13:04.battery hen cages and replacing them with free range and colony
:13:04. > :13:08.systems. At first glance, the colony system does not look much
:13:08. > :13:13.different to the battery one but the cages are much bigger and the
:13:13. > :13:18.facilities inside for the birds, much better. The old cages, they
:13:18. > :13:23.were just about about a square, from there to there at that height
:13:23. > :13:27.and the same distance apart. And we used to have five birds in there
:13:27. > :13:34.and I now realise that was wrong. This system has been researched,
:13:34. > :13:39.and goes from here where we have a nest box and then there's plenty of
:13:39. > :13:42.perching space and at the far end, there's a feeder inside with food
:13:42. > :13:45.troughs inside. The EU gave producers ten years to
:13:45. > :13:47.replace battery cages with the colony system. From 1st January,
:13:47. > :13:56.battery production will be illegal. But some EU countries haven't
:13:56. > :13:59.bothered to comply and are asking for a delay. You have to pay for
:13:59. > :14:04.all of your loans, and extra costs in the production systems, and if
:14:04. > :14:07.you have got foreign caged hens eggs coming in, you will not be
:14:07. > :14:13.able to compete. A parliamentary select committee
:14:13. > :14:16.backs the British farmers. We won the Government to press the
:14:16. > :14:22.Commission to make sure that those not complying in other European
:14:22. > :14:30.Union countries will not have their eggs admitted into this country but
:14:30. > :14:32.also that they will be heavily fined.
:14:32. > :14:35.Coming up next in tonight's Look North, Yorkshire tea wars. And
:14:35. > :14:43.later, if you thought you couldn't look cool on a mobility scooter,
:14:43. > :14:52.think again. Plenty of cloud means rain for most of us over the
:14:52. > :14:55.weekend but also some brightness as Now, this sounds like more than a
:14:55. > :14:57.storm in teacup. The world-famous Yorkshire company, Taylor's of
:14:57. > :15:00.Harrogate, has been accused of being heavy-handed. They've ordered
:15:00. > :15:03.the makers of a new tea, called Yorkshire Brew, to take their
:15:03. > :15:13.product off the shelves. Taylor's own the brand name Yorkshire Tea,
:15:13. > :15:13.
:15:14. > :15:21.and they're threatening legal This is possibly Yorkshire's newest
:15:21. > :15:29.tea room. China Jasmin, four coffees, one breakfast brood and
:15:29. > :15:32.three Lucy loaf... It is also selling what is possibly
:15:32. > :15:38.Yorkshire's newest team. York City is a registered trademark owned by
:15:38. > :15:43.the same company that runs Betty's. And it wants Yorkshire Brew off the
:15:43. > :15:46.menu. Leaving this brand new business shocked and disappointed.
:15:46. > :15:51.I trialled it with the customers we had from Yorkshire and they thought
:15:51. > :15:57.it was absolutely brilliant. The feedback we got was phenomenal. As
:15:57. > :16:02.we know, a Yorkshire Brew for hard water, is to be a tough brew. It
:16:02. > :16:05.has got lots of good colour and flavour. I thought it was brilliant
:16:05. > :16:10.and before you know it, it has caused a few problems which is a
:16:10. > :16:17.bit sad, really. Tailors who owned the Yorkshire tea, same company as
:16:17. > :16:20.Betty's, have ordered Yorkshire Brew off the cells. And threatened
:16:20. > :16:25.legal action. They say the brand is to close to their own. Taylor's
:16:25. > :16:29.have told us in a statement, as a family business we are not experts
:16:29. > :16:33.on trade might but our advisers say we must protect our name and they
:16:33. > :16:39.have done it before. Three years ago, they did the same thing to
:16:39. > :16:43.Jonathan kid, he made savoury snacks called Fat Bettys but he
:16:43. > :16:49.fought back and eventually won. The Oxford company behind Yorkshire
:16:49. > :16:52.brew are hoping to do the same. was a bit upset about it first of
:16:52. > :16:58.all but then I was a bit bemused about it because I could not
:16:58. > :17:03.understand how you could trade mark the word "Yorkshire". We use the
:17:03. > :17:08.name Oxford and Scottish so we feel using the name Yorkshire is just an
:17:08. > :17:14.area of the country, not treading on anyone's toes. A our legal
:17:14. > :17:18.advice is that the word Yorkshire when related to tea is a trademark.
:17:18. > :17:28.Had Yorkshire Brew been a beer, then a no problem. Think Tetley's,
:17:28. > :17:31.for example. Whatever, let us have a bridge. -- a cup of tea. We
:17:31. > :17:38.understand Newcastle's board has made a statement hitting back at
:17:38. > :17:40.all the criticism against transfer. For yes, a bit more detail later on.
:17:40. > :17:43.Cricket now and Durham's international cricket ground at
:17:43. > :17:45.Chester-le-Street will be back in the spotlight this weekend. It's
:17:45. > :17:47.the start of the One-Day International series between
:17:47. > :17:50.England and the world champions, India. Tomorrow's capacity crowd
:17:50. > :17:54.will be the equal biggest in the ground's relatively short history.
:17:54. > :17:56.Mark Tulip looks ahead. It's a big job staging any major
:17:56. > :18:00.televised sporting event and there was no let-up this lunchtime less
:18:00. > :18:03.than 24 hours before England try to do to India in the 50-overs game
:18:03. > :18:06.what they did to them in a one- sided summer Test series. A
:18:06. > :18:16.successful day off the pitch tomorrow meanwhile can only boost
:18:16. > :18:17.
:18:17. > :18:22.Durham's worldwide reputation. About 17,500 people in on the day.
:18:22. > :18:30.And I think a leading one-day side at the moment, India, about will be
:18:31. > :18:36.a lot of pressure. All the visitors here who have come from the first
:18:36. > :18:39.time, they get the wow factor. They get the atmosphere on the ground
:18:39. > :18:46.which is a very special place. is becoming a true international
:18:46. > :18:50.venue, isn't it? Yes, it keeps on improving and I hope there is a
:18:50. > :18:54.good crowd tomorrow who get behind us. And in that crowd will be
:18:54. > :18:56.Deborah and Ged Stokes, a mum and dad with every reason to be nervous
:18:56. > :19:03.especially if son, Ben, the Durham all-rounder and England new boy,
:19:03. > :19:06.gets to play at his home ground tomorrow. As a coach I have been
:19:06. > :19:10.involved with the game a lot and it is pretty much the same when Benn
:19:10. > :19:13.is playing cricket. If he gets elected tomorrow and hopefully he
:19:13. > :19:18.will, to play in front of his home crowd, I think the nerves will be
:19:19. > :19:21.at there. I suffer them worse than he does and his mother is even
:19:21. > :19:24.worse. It's been a big year for Yorkshire
:19:24. > :19:30.fast bowler Tim Bresnan who'll be hoping to play his part in the
:19:30. > :19:34.five-match series. The one thing they cannot control here is the
:19:34. > :19:38.weather. Back in the County Championship,
:19:38. > :19:48.Durham are still in with a shout of the title. They set Sussex an
:19:48. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:59.relegation-threatened Yorkshire are up for a fight against Warwickshire.
:19:59. > :20:01.Yorkshire have got five wickets While Newcastle United fans may be
:20:01. > :20:05.frustrated that their team failed to sign another striker before the
:20:05. > :20:08.transfer deadline, they will have a chance to see one of their heroes
:20:08. > :20:10.in the number nine shirt before too long. It's all because of a charity
:20:10. > :20:13.football match involving some of United's greatest entertainers from
:20:13. > :20:16.the 1990s. Part of the reason the number nine
:20:16. > :20:18.shirt is so iconic at Newcastle is because of this man. Next month,
:20:18. > :20:21.Alan Shearer will roll back the years and lead United's
:20:21. > :20:30.entertainers out once again - this time in a charity match against
:20:30. > :20:34.Liverpool's old boys at Kingston Park. We were everyone's second
:20:34. > :20:37.team back then. The way that Kevin wanted to play his football, wanted
:20:37. > :20:44.to attack. I am not sure everyone will be as fit as they were 10
:20:44. > :20:47.years ago, but it will be great to be with the guys again.
:20:47. > :20:52.Kicking off the game will be Geordie runner and Newcastle fan,
:20:52. > :20:56.Mark Allison, fresh from his incredible run across America.
:20:56. > :20:58.me, this is like a dream. Times of course have changed since
:20:58. > :21:05.Newcastle were challenging for the title, and Shearer admits it's
:21:05. > :21:09.strange seeing his old shirt still vacant. It does surprise me because
:21:09. > :21:13.it was a great privilege to wear it and it is a shame we will not see
:21:13. > :21:18.it this season. I am not sure why, maybe people were too scared of
:21:19. > :21:23.what has gone on before. Do you think they have got enough up
:21:23. > :21:26.front? When I look at other teams, then I think yes. I don't think
:21:26. > :21:32.there will be involved in a relegation battle, I think we can
:21:32. > :21:35.finish mid-table or above with what they have got. Newcastle's managing
:21:35. > :21:39.director in a statement has admitted disappointment that they
:21:39. > :21:45.were unable to sign the striker they targeted but defended the
:21:45. > :21:48.policy of signing young players who represent value for money.
:21:48. > :21:50.In League One tomorrow, both Hartlepool and Carlisle - like all
:21:51. > :21:53.our non-league clubs - will be looking to capitalise on the
:21:53. > :21:56.international break. Pools are at home to Exeter, while Carlisle are
:21:57. > :22:04.up against the league leaders MK Dons at Brunton Park, hoping to go
:22:04. > :22:09.joint top themselves. It is a big game, and I think a lot of emphasis
:22:09. > :22:14.will be on this. In the past, they have been exciting. I know their
:22:14. > :22:16.team can be exciting and so can we, and hopefully it will take us to
:22:16. > :22:19.the right end of the table. In other sport, Middlesbrough's
:22:19. > :22:22.Chris Tomlinson, who was carrying a knee injury, was well outside the
:22:22. > :22:25.medals in the long jump final at the World Championships. But there
:22:25. > :22:28.has been success for the region at the World Rowing Championships in
:22:28. > :22:30.Slovenia. As well as Durham's Nathan Reilly O'Donnell winning a
:22:30. > :22:35.silver medal in the men's eight, 21-year-old Keiran Emery from
:22:35. > :22:37.Newcastle claimed gold in the lightweight pairs race. Meanwhile
:22:37. > :22:43.Jess Eddie, also from Durham, has qualified for London 2012 after
:22:43. > :22:45.taking bronze for Team GB in the women's eight.
:22:45. > :22:48.Finally good luck to Darlington roofer Stuey Hall with three
:22:48. > :22:58.bantamweight boxing titles on the line when he fights Jamie McDonnell
:22:58. > :22:58.
:22:58. > :23:01.Thanks, Katie. Mobility scooters are a familiar sight on our roads
:23:01. > :23:09.and footpaths, and for many people they're absolutely crucial for
:23:09. > :23:19.getting around. But you probably haven't seen one quite like this.
:23:19. > :23:43.
:23:43. > :23:52.This has 110 batteries and will do eight mph on the road and you have
:23:52. > :23:55.got to tax it as disabled. It is governed to four mph on the road
:23:55. > :23:57.with a switch. With 20 years of mobility scooter
:23:58. > :24:00.sales behind him, Andrew Wylie thought it was about time people
:24:01. > :24:03.had more choice in their mode of transport. At �5,000, the Harley
:24:03. > :24:10.lookalike isn't cheap, but he's already sold one and now he's
:24:10. > :24:13.moving into designs of his own. had a lot of accident damaged
:24:13. > :24:21.vehicles which were not worth repairing, so we put something for
:24:21. > :24:29.fun on this. How fast will that go? It is currently on 10 mph which can
:24:29. > :24:34.be governed down to four. Could you sup it up? Yes. It could go up to
:24:34. > :24:38.20 mph. Do you think you will get customers? Yes, I do. A lot of
:24:38. > :24:42.people take photographs on the street. Definitely. I think they
:24:42. > :24:51.are absolutely brilliant. I have never seen them before. Berry, very
:24:51. > :24:55.good. I think kids will love this. A Harley Davison, if I was younger,
:24:55. > :24:57.I would get it! Andrew's now working on other
:24:57. > :25:00.scooter conversions including an articulated lorry and a Formula One
:25:00. > :25:10.racing car, and if you have an idea for something special, he says
:25:10. > :25:16.he'll see what he can do. Damian is thinking of trading in his car now!
:25:16. > :25:26.Time for the weather and how is the Chester-le-Street cricket looking
:25:26. > :25:29.
:25:29. > :25:35.Not many surprises as far as temperatures went, daytime figures
:25:35. > :25:40.in one area at 18.5 degrees Celsius slightly short of where they should
:25:40. > :25:47.have been and sunshine similarly in short supply. In County Durham,
:25:47. > :25:50.that is only a fraction of the sunshine we should see. Haydon
:25:50. > :25:56.Bridge had more than double what they should normally have in the
:25:56. > :26:00.way of rain and that is repeated in many areas. Plenty of cloud around
:26:00. > :26:04.today and more into the evening. This band of rain from the north
:26:04. > :26:11.and west slowly working south and east but many areas will stay dry.
:26:11. > :26:15.Lot of cloud around and it will not be cold, temperatures around 12
:26:15. > :26:20.Celsius a typical overnight low. Southerly breezes as well and it
:26:20. > :26:24.stays fairly mild tomorrow but the rain slowly edges its way south and
:26:24. > :26:26.east and most places will see rain through the day and the cricket at
:26:26. > :26:30.Chester-le-Street will certainly see some art breaks through the
:26:30. > :26:33.afternoon. At the end of the day, we will see some drier interludes
:26:33. > :26:38.getting into northern parts, possibly some light brightness as
:26:38. > :26:47.well but this weather front marks the boundary between warm air to
:26:47. > :26:53.the south and cooler fresh air to the north. You might escape the
:26:53. > :27:01.worst of the rain right on the coast. Not wall-to-wall sunshine
:27:01. > :27:05.either. It is the cold front that is the separation between the warm
:27:05. > :27:08.air and the cooler air as we head into Sunday. A bit of a gap in
:27:08. > :27:14.between the weather systems and there may have got cooler, fresh
:27:14. > :27:19.air coming from the West as we head into the next part of the week.
:27:19. > :27:29.After rain for most of us on Saturday, temperatures in the mid-
:27:29. > :27:29.
