:00:11. > :00:14.Welcome to Look North. Coming up: My son, the hero - a father's pride
:00:14. > :00:19.in the Marine caught in one of the fiercest firefights of the
:00:19. > :00:21.Afghanistan conflict. From this to this - Nissan
:00:21. > :00:31.celebrates 25 years of car making in the North East.
:00:31. > :00:34.
:00:34. > :00:38.Why today is such a special day for this little boy.
:00:38. > :00:40.And get your TV recorders ready - you could help track down these
:00:40. > :00:43.people, snapped 30 years ago. In sport, Newcastle boss Alan
:00:43. > :00:46.Pardew talks about the club's failure to sign a new striker.
:00:46. > :00:56.And we're going wild about the new team from Aycliife, who're about to
:00:56. > :01:01.
:01:01. > :01:03.enter big-time basketball. It's been described as one of the
:01:03. > :01:09.most ferocious battles of the war in Afghanistan. 14 Commandos
:01:09. > :01:11.trapped and surrounded from all directions by Taliban fighters. But
:01:11. > :01:14.incredibly, after a three-hour gun fight. The Commandos fought their
:01:14. > :01:17.way out alive. Today the father of one of those soldiers, Lance
:01:17. > :01:27.Corporal Steven Hughes from Darlington, hailed them all heroes.
:01:27. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:32.Stuart Whincup reports. It's been dubbed the Battle of
:01:32. > :01:42.Compound 62. Surrounded from all sides, the Commandos were down to
:01:42. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:47.their last few rounds of ammunition. Lance Corporal Steven Hughes was
:01:47. > :01:52.one of those caught up in the gunfight. His father said the
:01:52. > :01:58.footage of his son's company under attack was horrifying. I was
:01:58. > :02:02.absolutely mortified, and hearing my son's name being shouted, then
:02:02. > :02:06.hearing his voice responding just, obviously - well, words can't
:02:06. > :02:16.explain what I felt, to comprehend thinking that he could have been
:02:16. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:20.killed at any second. Move in! Marines from Lima Company 42
:02:20. > :02:23.Commando had been on an operation clearing Nad-e-Ali of insurgents
:02:23. > :02:26.when they were attacked. Forced inside a tiny compound - more than
:02:26. > :02:33.30 grenades were hurled at them. They finally fought there way out
:02:34. > :02:36.when an Apache helicopter provided covering fire. They're an invisible
:02:36. > :02:41.enemy because when there is a firefight and things like that they
:02:41. > :02:44.just throw the weapons, and they blend into the background, and they
:02:44. > :02:49.appear and disappear. It's very rare that you actually see them,
:02:49. > :02:53.but I do know from the phone call that I had that there were actually
:02:53. > :02:59.eye-to-eye contact with these people this time. The footage from
:02:59. > :03:03.the front line will for many serve as a reminder of the difficult and
:03:03. > :03:06.dangerous jobs our soldiers do on a daily basis.
:03:06. > :03:08.It's 25 years since this bit of artistic endeavour signalled the
:03:08. > :03:11.birth of car making on Wearside. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
:03:11. > :03:14.officially opened Nissan's plant on Wearside. For many, it was life
:03:14. > :03:16.changing. Today that modest operation on the site of the
:03:16. > :03:19.Sunderland airfield has grown into one of our most important jobs
:03:19. > :03:29.providers. Well our business correspondent Ian Reeve is outside
:03:29. > :03:35.
:03:35. > :03:40.the Sunderland plant now. Ian. Yes, it was called a Doruma Doll
:03:40. > :03:45.that Mrs Thatcher was painting that second I on. The cars that will
:03:45. > :03:51.come off the line today, like this, the Leaf, are very different than
:03:51. > :03:56.the ones 25 years ago. Back then we were paying �2 for a gallon of
:03:56. > :04:02.petrol. The average house was costing us about �40,000. Joanne
:04:02. > :04:11.Carter now looks back 25 years. For the region's ship-building
:04:11. > :04:14.industry, 1986 was its horrible year. Smiths Docks in Middlesbrough
:04:14. > :04:17.waved goodbye to its last vessel bringing an 80 year history to a
:04:17. > :04:21.close. It was a similar story for yards all over Tyneside and
:04:21. > :04:23.Wearside. In all some 2,000 people were out of work. And it wasn't
:04:23. > :04:26.much better in the pits. Hordon and Peterlee were shut, closely
:04:26. > :04:35.followed by Bates and Blyth. Only nine collieries were left.
:04:35. > :04:38.Finding a job was hard. No wonder Jarrow marched to London,
:04:38. > :04:42.recreating the famous jobs crusade of fifty years ago. But it wasn't
:04:42. > :04:45.all doom and gloom. The sun shone as the Tall Ships race sailed away
:04:45. > :04:49.from the Tyne. The pitch at St James Park was invaded as 38,000
:04:49. > :04:52.Queen fans watched the band kick off their European tour. And men
:04:52. > :04:57.all over the North cursed John Hall as the Metro Centre became a mecca
:04:57. > :05:01.for women who wanted to shop until they drop. In sport it was a big
:05:01. > :05:09.year for Steve Cram who won gold in the 1500 metres at the European
:05:09. > :05:12.Championships. Cumbrian-based jockey John Jo O'neil won the
:05:13. > :05:17.Cheltenham Gold Cup on Dawn Run. The Boro survived being thrown out
:05:17. > :05:19.of the Football League. And there was a hero's welcome at Newcastle
:05:19. > :05:22.airport for Peter Beardsley who'd helped England to the quarter
:05:23. > :05:32.finals of the world cup before they were knocked out by Argentina and
:05:32. > :05:38.Maradona's now infamous hand of God. So September the 8th, 1986 and
:05:38. > :05:43.Nissan officially launched its Sunderland plant. These were coming
:05:43. > :05:47.off the line, but compared to the plant today, it was a much more
:05:47. > :05:52.modest affair. When Mrs Thatcher gave the plant the seal of approval,
:05:52. > :05:55.they had no idea the importance the company would come to have in the
:05:55. > :06:03.regional economy. In the first year of production, just 5,000 cars came
:06:03. > :06:07.off the blind, Bluebirds made in Japan and merely assembled in
:06:07. > :06:10.Sunderland. What a difference 25 years makes. Today the plant's
:06:10. > :06:14.achievements are long and impressive. More than 6 million
:06:14. > :06:21.cars have come out of the plant. It employs about 5,000 workers,
:06:21. > :06:27.supports a long supply chain and has seen investments of nearly �3.5
:06:27. > :06:34.billion. To celebrate that all and the plant's 25th birthday, a time
:06:34. > :06:38.capsule was planted today, a ceremony that was held when the
:06:38. > :06:42.company first started. The first car we produced in September 25
:06:42. > :06:47.years ago was a tremendous memory for me. More recently, I think, the
:06:47. > :06:54.allocation of the Nissan Leaf, the new electric vehicle. 130 workers
:06:54. > :06:57.from that first day still work at the plant. Bob Sanderson filled in
:06:57. > :07:02.the very first application form. has certainly been an experience
:07:03. > :07:07.I'll never forget over 25 years. We have seen some highs and lows, but
:07:07. > :07:12.one thing that has been continuous is the push to make sure that we
:07:12. > :07:18.make good, quality cars. Over those 25 years, Nissan has embedded
:07:18. > :07:23.itself in the regional economy, and only with the odd blip some
:07:23. > :07:33.redundancies. A bookie in 1992 criticising the working culture
:07:33. > :07:41.
:07:41. > :07:48.here. And the Cane Gang had a Dart That apart, Nissan has only
:07:48. > :07:55.attracted growing accolade, but as a story of staggering success, how
:07:55. > :07:59.could it have done anything else? word about the time capsules. Back
:07:59. > :08:06.in 1984, one of the thing that is buried was a Sunderland football
:08:06. > :08:13.club shirt and a bottle of whiskey. Today they put that shirt in but a
:08:13. > :08:16.manifesto from the Chamber of Commerce and Gateshead's annual
:08:16. > :08:21.review. I think the people that find it in the future, I think
:08:21. > :08:31.they're in for a less-than-riveting read. Depends who they are. Thank
:08:31. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:35.you very much. The inquest into the death of the
:08:35. > :08:38.gunman Raoul Moat has been told this afternoon that he asked a
:08:38. > :08:40.police marksman to shoot him. Moat was found in Rothbury in
:08:40. > :08:48.Northumberland after murdering one man, shooting and injuring his
:08:48. > :08:53.former girlfriend and shooting and blinding a policeman. Our chief
:08:53. > :08:57.reporter Chris Stuart has been listening to the evidence. The
:08:57. > :09:01.firearms officer has been allowed to give evidence anonymously?
:09:01. > :09:06.so will the other officers. You'll remember they drafted in help from
:09:06. > :09:12.all around the country. And this evidence giving evidence in court,
:09:12. > :09:15.only referred to as "Officer E-15" is actually from the West Yorkshire
:09:15. > :09:20.force. These pictures were filmed shortly after the standoff began.
:09:20. > :09:25.One of the officers here - we don't know which one - is E-15. He said
:09:25. > :09:33.when he spotted Raoul Moat and approached from behind, the
:09:33. > :09:37.fugitive put his sawn-off shotgun to his head, turned around and said,
:09:37. > :09:43."Shoot me". The coroner asked what he would have done if he turned the
:09:43. > :09:46.gun towards him. He rePlaid, "I'd have shot him, sir." As for the
:09:46. > :09:53.negotiations, they seemed to be going no-where, and Moat gave no
:09:53. > :09:57.indication he had anything to live for. Look North viewer Peter
:09:57. > :10:02.Aveston filmed those pictures, which were shown to the jury today.
:10:02. > :10:06.His house overlooks the river bank. The jury were told he had gone on
:10:06. > :10:10.to BBC Radio to tell what was happening. There has been a
:10:10. > :10:15.shooting? Yes, from what I can see, he laid down and shot himself.
:10:15. > :10:23.you see this? Yes, I am looking at it now. The paramedics look as
:10:24. > :10:27.though they're leaning over the man, and the cordon of police around and
:10:27. > :10:34.that's about as much as I can see. They've lit up the whole of the
:10:34. > :10:40.area very bright. He told the inquest today that from what he saw,
:10:40. > :10:44.the police behaved thoroughly professionally.
:10:44. > :10:47.What's also worth mentioning is today we heard a tape recording of
:10:47. > :10:51.parts of the negotiation process, and we heard how Moat was
:10:51. > :10:55.repeatedly told he should stay alive for the sake of his children.
:10:55. > :11:01.But at one point, he says, "It's too late."
:11:01. > :11:04.Chris, thank you. Proposals to move Cumbria's fire
:11:04. > :11:10.and rescue control centre to Warrington in Lancashire are back
:11:10. > :11:14.on the table. The original plan to relocate from Cockermouth to
:11:14. > :11:17.Warrington were dropped. The 12 emergency call handlers who work in
:11:17. > :11:20.Cockermouth were told not to speak to the press by the council, but
:11:20. > :11:25.Look North is told they're a deeply concerned their detailed knowledge
:11:25. > :11:29.of the area would be lost, but it said a new centre would bring
:11:29. > :11:36.technological benefits. technology that'll be provided with
:11:36. > :11:41.this system will be state of the art and clearly allow us to
:11:41. > :11:47.identify where calls have been made from. It shouldn't be underplayed
:11:47. > :11:51.the skill of the fire control operators plays a big part in
:11:51. > :12:01.understanding the best way to get to those incidents and the type of
:12:01. > :12:04.
:12:04. > :12:06.resources required. The woman who fell into the sea from an overnight
:12:06. > :12:09.ferry from North Shields to Amsterdam has been speaking about
:12:09. > :12:12.her amazing escape. Jeni Anderson, who's 23 and a graduate of
:12:12. > :12:21.Northumbria University, survived in the North Sea for almost half an
:12:21. > :12:31.hour before she was rescued. Jeni Anderson is winched to rescue after
:12:31. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:37.being ferried in. She had been with friends when she plunged overboard
:12:37. > :12:43.60 feet. I remember feeling like I was going to die. That was a bit of
:12:43. > :12:47.a shock, but I just kept thinking that wasn't the way I wanted to go,
:12:47. > :12:51.just fighting for my life, doing everything I could to Ensure if
:12:51. > :12:55.they were look for me, they could find me. I remember trying to swim
:12:55. > :13:00.after the boat which obviously I knew wasn't really a realistic
:13:00. > :13:06.thing that was going to happen, but just at least that was something
:13:06. > :13:10.for me to follow and just shouting and screaming so they could hear me.
:13:10. > :13:16.But how did she fall into the sea? I just remember being up on deck
:13:16. > :13:20.with two of my friends. I don't remember exactly what happened. I
:13:20. > :13:25.just remember the feeling of going over the side. Apparently, I held
:13:25. > :13:28.on for a bit. My friend saw me hold on to the railings, and then
:13:28. > :13:36.obviously I couldn't hold on for much longer, and then obviously
:13:36. > :13:44.fell into the sea. How lucky does she feel she was? The captain said
:13:44. > :13:47.that in 20 years of experience of him being a captain of a ferry,
:13:47. > :13:51.he's never known anybody to be found having gone overboard. I am
:13:51. > :13:57.very lucky. A lot of people have said I should put a lottery ticket
:13:57. > :14:01.on this weekend. I might do that. That's one lucky girl.
:14:01. > :14:06.Coming up: have your TV recorders ready. You could be one of these
:14:06. > :14:08.people snapped 30 years ago a photographer wants to track down.
:14:08. > :14:18.It looks decent tomorrow before things turn blustery for the
:14:18. > :14:20.
:14:20. > :14:23.weekend. I'll have all the details shortly.
:14:23. > :14:30.When Robbie Jones was a year old he was struck down by meningitis and
:14:30. > :14:33.lost both legs. He was given just a 5% chance of survival. Well, he's
:14:33. > :14:36.beaten the odds - and he's making the most of it. Robbie, who's now
:14:36. > :14:40.four, has learned to use prosthetic legs, raised thousands of pounds
:14:40. > :14:42.for his future and walked his mum down the aisle on her wedding day.
:14:42. > :14:51.Today, he reached another major milestone as Stephanie Lloyd
:14:51. > :14:55.reports. Excited for your big day? You'll see all your friends again.
:14:55. > :15:00.A child's first day at school is a moving day for any parent, but you
:15:00. > :15:05.just have to look at Robbie Jones's mum's face to see how significant
:15:05. > :15:09.today is for the family. Yeah, I am really emotional. It's more proud
:15:09. > :15:13.than anything because we're over the moon. He's going just like any
:15:13. > :15:19.normal kid, you know? He's look forward to it, aren't you? Yeah,
:15:19. > :15:26.looking forward to seeing all his friends again. I've just got a big
:15:27. > :15:32.lump here. I have got the tissues ready. Are you excited, nervous or
:15:32. > :15:37.what? Excited. Despite losing both legs to meningitis, Robbie is doing
:15:37. > :15:42.his best to lead a normal life. He walked his mum down the aisle at
:15:42. > :15:49.his parents' wedding two years ago. So now for the next challenge -
:15:49. > :15:53.with news proat the timeic legs and hair spiked by dad, Robbie takes
:15:53. > :15:57.his first steps into the classroom. You're looking very smart. Robbie
:15:57. > :16:00.is delightful in school. He's really captured all the hearts of
:16:00. > :16:04.all the staff. He really is determined to take part with all
:16:04. > :16:08.the other children. To help him out, a new toilet and cloakrooms are
:16:08. > :16:12.being built at this end of the school to make everything more
:16:12. > :16:15.accessible for Robbie, changes that'll hopefully make a big
:16:15. > :16:20.difference to his school life and make it as positive an experience
:16:20. > :16:25.as possible for a little boy who just wants to be treated like any
:16:25. > :16:28.other four-year-old. He pushes himself and really wants
:16:28. > :16:32.to try and do thing, which is encouraging for us because you
:16:32. > :16:38.don't want him to be sitting in the background out of the way of it.
:16:38. > :16:43.You want him to get amongst everything, like every other kid.
:16:43. > :16:50.Robbie's family have raised over �160,000 so far for his future, all
:16:50. > :17:00.for a boy whose courage is in a class of its own.
:17:00. > :17:07.
:17:07. > :17:10.I bet he's tired now. We've already taken a trip back to 1986 tonight.
:17:10. > :17:14.But can you think back to 1981 - the year the Yorkshire Ripper was
:17:14. > :17:17.captured - Lady Di and Prince Charles got married - What were you
:17:17. > :17:20.up to back then? Perhaps you're of the hundred people who were snapped
:17:20. > :17:23.by a Tyneside photographer who's now trying get back in touch. He
:17:23. > :17:26.wants to find out what's happened since and recreate the images 30
:17:26. > :17:30.years on. If you can record this next item, do it now, because we'll
:17:30. > :17:33.be showing a quick montage of the originals for you to look at in
:17:33. > :17:35.your own time. As Chris Jackson explains, this is one man, on a
:17:35. > :17:37.mission that he's determined won't prove impossible Adrian Pitches
:17:37. > :17:42.reports: In Newcastle's West End, Chris is
:17:42. > :17:45.retracing his footsteps of three decades ago when he worked on a
:17:45. > :17:52.community project. He's trying to put names to faces
:17:52. > :17:59.and is asking anyone who he thinks can help.
:17:59. > :18:04.I know his face. I think he's still around. Guess a name. I'm not sure.
:18:04. > :18:09.I don't know if it's a John, but I know he's fierce. That can be
:18:09. > :18:13.really helpful because somebody else can say John makes sense. It's
:18:13. > :18:17.hard to imagine how people might look with another 30 years of life
:18:17. > :18:27.etched into their faces, but Chris is determined to find as many as he
:18:27. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:32.see how it's gone for them. I know from that end people who are very
:18:32. > :18:35.sparky individuals, and I wonder what some of those kids ended up
:18:35. > :18:42.doing. # Oh, what happened to you?
:18:42. > :18:47.# Whatever happened to me? # The pictures are self-portraits. He
:18:47. > :18:52.set up a photo booth in the park and asked any lads and lasses to go
:18:52. > :18:56.in. We had, to my eternal regret, a nasty little chair, but we had a
:18:56. > :19:02.chair here. We kept people out of the way so there was privacy. I
:19:02. > :19:08.would say, here's a rubber bulb. When you squeeze that, that camera
:19:08. > :19:14.will take a picture. # Oh, what happened to you?
:19:14. > :19:19.# Whatever happened to me? # No names were ever taken, but the
:19:19. > :19:26.images have been put on a website for everyone to see, and Chris is
:19:26. > :19:36.enlisting everyone he can to help spread the word. She looks so much
:19:36. > :19:37.
:19:37. > :19:41.like her. That's interesting. Dave, so I wonder if I can give you some
:19:41. > :19:50.posters and you can get them around? Will he find his 100
:19:50. > :19:53.people? Make it's you who holds the I can just about remember 1981, if
:19:53. > :20:00.only. Jeff, you have been sidetracked a bit recently by news,
:20:00. > :20:04.so today was the first time you got to meet Allen Pardew. Yes, very
:20:05. > :20:08.interesting, it was, yes. Just over a week it was since the close of
:20:08. > :20:13.the transfer window, and the Newcastle manager has been facing
:20:13. > :20:17.the media today. He had said he was hoping to bring in a top-line
:20:17. > :20:24.striker. That didn't happen, and it's not just the fans who are
:20:24. > :20:27.disappointed. The Magpies did bring in seven players over the summer,
:20:27. > :20:31.but the Managing Director said there would be no knee-jerk
:20:31. > :20:36.decisions at the last minute. The fact is the club banked �35 million
:20:36. > :20:40.from the sale of front-man Andy Carroll back in January.
:20:40. > :20:46.criticism that's going to come from not getting a striker over has some
:20:46. > :20:50.validation to it because it's a long time, but you know, I know
:20:50. > :20:57.that I can only say from my point of view we put the targets in front
:20:57. > :21:05.of the board, and then it comes down to a financial decision. It's
:21:05. > :21:10.obvious that our fans and me, the manager and the players would like
:21:10. > :21:15.to see another striker here. We're going to the unknown to a certain
:21:15. > :21:21.degree because a lot of the goals created last year are no longer in
:21:21. > :21:27.the team. One of those is Joey Barton, of course. Instead, he'll
:21:27. > :21:30.be lining up against them in Queens park. At least they'll have a
:21:30. > :21:35.quieter life without him. It's never a quiet football club,
:21:35. > :21:39.especially Newcastle, but I enjoyed it. I enjoyed my time with Joey.
:21:39. > :21:42.He's a challenging personality, but you know, he's engaging and
:21:42. > :21:49.entertaining as well as he is difficult, so we miss him in some
:21:49. > :21:52.ways. I am sure they do. Now you may remember us telling you that
:21:53. > :21:58.there's a new kid on the block in the top flight of British
:21:58. > :22:00.basketball. L the county council- backed Durham Wildcats - mostly
:22:00. > :22:07.made up of university students, post-graduates and young American
:22:07. > :22:13.imports - can't wait to get started. # Wild thing
:22:13. > :22:19.# You make my heart sing # Meet the young players from the
:22:19. > :22:24.BBL's newest franchise. The Wildcats will play their home match
:22:24. > :22:27.at Newton Learnier Centre. Obviously, I worked for a long time
:22:27. > :22:31.in the north-east with the Sunderland and Newcastle team, then
:22:31. > :22:34.I had a spell working with the London Leopards. I thought when I
:22:34. > :22:39.finished with them in 2000 I would probably retire from the sport for
:22:39. > :22:44.good. I hadn't put my feet up six months when my two boys persuaded
:22:44. > :22:47.me to help with a little club they started. Out of that has come what
:22:47. > :22:50.we have today. We have a pretty strong core of English players who
:22:50. > :22:55.have been with me - some of them - for five or six years, and
:22:55. > :22:58.obviously, with the university, with the scholarship opportunity
:22:58. > :23:04.we've got, we have been able to recruit players to the university
:23:04. > :23:12.who have strengthened the team, and also, we bring in three Americans
:23:12. > :23:16.who I have high hopes for. One of these is a 23-year-old from the
:23:16. > :23:20.North-Western Wildcats, a university team in America. Coming
:23:20. > :23:25.here, it's a bit cooler, a little bit rainier, but I kind of like the
:23:25. > :23:28.climate here. I am getting used to it. I actually got caught in my
:23:28. > :23:33.first English rainstorm yesterday. I was a bit soaked when I got back
:23:33. > :23:39.to my apartment. But it's nice. Experience comes in the form of 35-
:23:39. > :23:44.year-old Ralph Butchy, a New Yorker who returned to the Mohawks last
:23:44. > :23:51.year after a spell with Greece. He's looking forward to his start
:23:51. > :23:54.next month. It's going to give us a good evaluation of where we're at
:23:54. > :24:04.because we're pretty much going against the best team for the first
:24:04. > :24:20.
:24:20. > :24:24.Finally, two Red Car-based sports stars have been making the head
:24:24. > :24:34.lines. Teenage mountain biker Danny Hart is the new downhill race world
:24:34. > :24:41.champion. One of our most successful athletes, dame Tanni
:24:41. > :24:46.Grey has been speaking from Trafalgar Square, asking people to
:24:46. > :24:50.buy tickets for the event. We talk about London all the time, but
:24:50. > :24:53.every region will be sending in a massive stack ofate let's. In the
:24:53. > :24:57.north-east we have a proud athletics tradition. We have
:24:57. > :25:01.amazing athletes in the area who are going to do well, and after the
:25:01. > :25:06.games, they'll be visiting schools, putting something back, and we want
:25:06. > :25:08.to get that support. So get your tickets now. We won't have another
:25:08. > :25:11.chance in our lifetime to see anything like it. You have been
:25:11. > :25:17.told. It's time for the weather. I am going to exaggerate what Paul
:25:17. > :25:21.just told me. Summer is here tomorrow. Funnilys enough, we'll
:25:21. > :25:31.see temperatures we struggled to see during the summer, but it's not
:25:31. > :25:47.
:25:47. > :25:51.Tomorrow most are in for a decent day, into the 20s, and many of us
:25:51. > :25:54.will see a bit of sunshine, but it's so changeable at the minute,
:25:54. > :25:57.even now, we have lots of changeable weather to get out of
:25:57. > :26:01.the way. The cloud begins to thicken up from the south-west. We
:26:01. > :26:05.lose the dry weather most of us have got just now. We have seen
:26:05. > :26:09.some light rain becoming more widespread through the early hours
:26:09. > :26:12.of the morning. It won't be a cold night with all of that cloud and
:26:13. > :26:18.rain. In the southerly breeze, we'll see temperatures staying in
:26:18. > :26:22.double figures, 12C, your overnight low. That's 54 Fahrenheit. Tomorrow
:26:22. > :26:26.doesn't look that promising. If you're out and about, you'll see
:26:26. > :26:30.remnants of the overnight rain, but it should clear quickly. By about
:26:30. > :26:35.9.00am, most places will be dry, and things will start to brighten.
:26:35. > :26:40.Eastern areas see sunny spells develop. There always tends to be
:26:40. > :26:47.more cloud across Cumbria. With the south-westerly wind, parts of
:26:47. > :26:51.Cumbria, 16C. White haven, 61 Fahrenheit, 16C. In the east coast,
:26:51. > :26:54.20-21C. That's the low 70s Fahrenheit. That's the picture for
:26:54. > :26:58.tomorrow. We're in this warmation, but the cold front changes things
:26:58. > :27:01.again towards the weekend. Lots of lines on the chart, a blustery old
:27:01. > :27:04.weekend. I think most of us will see some showers on Saturday and
:27:04. > :27:09.Sunday, so gusty winds through the weekend. Temperatures still
:27:09. > :27:14.reasonable, still making it into the low 20s in one or two spots.
:27:14. > :27:19.It's not all bad news. Most of us will see some rain, but there will
:27:19. > :27:22.be bright spells as well. That's not too bad. Thank you.
:27:22. > :27:25.Now the headlines: A public inquiry says an innocent
:27:25. > :27:28.Iraqi civilian, Baha Mousa, died as a result of violence by British
:27:28. > :27:32.soldiers. And a Darlington soldier who
