:00:09. > :00:12.Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: Victim of the
:00:12. > :00:16.storm. Tributes paid to a volunteer ambulance driver killed by a tree
:00:16. > :00:19.felled in gale force winds. One year on, the family of a former
:00:19. > :00:27.Boro player who has locked-in syndrome say they still hope he'll
:00:27. > :00:30.recover. Deadly duty. On patrol with a North Yorks soldier who has
:00:30. > :00:34.one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. And cool running. The
:00:34. > :00:39.man who decided he needed to make this year's Great North Run a bit
:00:39. > :00:44.more difficult. In sport - more fallout from the departure of
:00:44. > :00:46.Sunderland's record signing. But Newcastle are flying high. Fourth
:00:46. > :00:56.in the Premier League after fighting hard for a goalless draw
:00:56. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:08.in the capital. A lovely man who would do anything for anyone. Just
:01:08. > :01:11.one of many tributes being made to a hospice volunteer killed by a
:01:11. > :01:14.falling tree. George Brown, from High Etherley in County Durham,
:01:14. > :01:17.died yesterday afternoon on the A688 between Staindrop and Barnard
:01:17. > :01:23.Castle as the remnants of Hurricane Katia brought with it winds of more
:01:23. > :01:26.than 70mph. He was driving to collect patients on behalf of
:01:26. > :01:33.Butterwick Hospice in Bishop Auckland when the tree fell on his
:01:33. > :01:37.ambulance. Stephanie Lloyd reports. The human cost of the storms that
:01:37. > :01:40.battered the region. 68 year-old George Brown, a much-loved
:01:40. > :01:50.volunteer driver for Butterwick Hospice died as he was driving in
:01:50. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :02:00.the high winds. Killed on a journey he used to make every week. George
:02:00. > :02:04.was lovely, he volunteered his time freely to us for more than 12 years
:02:04. > :02:07.and inevitably, when these things happen, people reflect on their
:02:07. > :02:13.memories of George and everyone says he would do everything for
:02:13. > :02:17.anybody. He really enjoyed supporting the charity and driving
:02:17. > :02:20.patients from their homes to the hospice. Staff at the hospice are
:02:20. > :02:27.devastated by the tragic accident, all too upset to speak to us on
:02:28. > :02:32.camera. This is where the accident happened, between Staindrop and
:02:32. > :02:36.Barnard Castle. Flowers have been left. The ambulance was on its way
:02:36. > :02:41.to an outreach hospice to collect patients when the tree fell on to
:02:41. > :02:48.the minibus, killing George Brown. But Mr Brown was not travelling
:02:48. > :02:51.alone. He had another volunteer sitting directly behind him. He is
:02:51. > :02:54.being treated in hospital but his injuries were not thought to be
:02:54. > :02:57.life threatening. George Brown leaves a wife, Mary, a son and a
:02:57. > :03:07.daughter and three grandchildren. A man described by those who knew and
:03:07. > :03:13.loved him as selfless and loyal. his retirement, the hospice really
:03:13. > :03:18.became a volunteer job for him and he would do anything and he did not
:03:18. > :03:25.only the driving but when we had the Christmas party, George was
:03:25. > :03:28.Father Christmas. That is indicative of the man he was.
:03:28. > :03:34.Nearly 400 homes were still without power this afternoon because of the
:03:34. > :03:36.high winds. CE Electric says 265 homes were affected in
:03:36. > :03:42.Northumberland and Durham. And almost 100 were without electricity
:03:42. > :03:44.on Teesside and in North Yorkshire. But the company expects to have
:03:44. > :03:51.most people reconnected by this evening and does not expect the
:03:52. > :03:56.situation to get any worse. Although the wind is still high, we
:03:56. > :04:02.are not expecting too many problems on the we are still seeing the
:04:02. > :04:06.tail-end of some wind coming in. If customers are all supply after 7pm
:04:06. > :04:11.tonight, give us a call and we will get somebody out to see you and get
:04:11. > :04:18.you on to the supplier as quickly as possible. It must be a living
:04:18. > :04:21.torture. One year ago, former Middlesbrough footballer Gary
:04:21. > :04:24.Parkinson suffered a major stroke at 42 that left him with so-called
:04:24. > :04:27.locked in syndrome. He's fully aware of what's happening around
:04:27. > :04:30.him but can't move or speak. His family say he has made some
:04:30. > :04:40.progress and have taken inspiration from other people who've managed to
:04:40. > :04:41.
:04:41. > :04:47.make a full recovery from the condition. The doctors said to me,
:04:47. > :04:52.this isn't looking good. Do you want and kept alive with the
:04:52. > :04:58.machine? I said, yes, he will keep going. Sat by his bedside, Deborah
:04:58. > :05:03.Parkinson told her husband he had to keep fighting. At that point and
:05:03. > :05:07.I said this to Gary, his eyes were opened and I knew that he could
:05:07. > :05:09.hear inside and there was something we could keep fighting for. Gary
:05:09. > :05:19.was later diagnosed with locked-in syndrome. He communicates with his
:05:19. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:23.family by moving his eyes up for yes and down for no. His former
:05:23. > :05:25.club has staged benefit matches, charity events and tribute dinners.
:05:25. > :05:34.His family have received thousands of goodwill messages from friends,
:05:34. > :05:40.fans and former players. It has been brilliant, all of those clubs
:05:40. > :05:46.have come together. Fans from every club. We cannot believe the support.
:05:46. > :05:51.Most of the time, they were booing and shouting at players. But on the
:05:51. > :06:01.club's say he was a legend. support, they say, has kept them
:06:01. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:06.going. And the family say they take inspiration from people like Kate
:06:06. > :06:09.Allatt, who has visited Gary after making a full recovery from locked-
:06:09. > :06:14.in syndrome. If one person has made it through, there is no reason we
:06:14. > :06:19.cannot. I have since found out that many people have come through and
:06:19. > :06:24.their leading and good quality of life. Gary has moved his fingers
:06:24. > :06:34.for the first time. Progress is slow. But as his family know,
:06:34. > :06:35.
:06:35. > :06:38.people have been a full recovery from his condition. Our next report
:06:38. > :06:43.contains extraordinary footage of one of the most dangerous jobs on
:06:43. > :06:47.earth. The BBC has been given an exclusive opportunity to film bomb
:06:47. > :06:50.disposal squads at work in Afghanistan. One member of the
:06:50. > :06:54.squad is 29 year-old Adam Galloway from North Yorkshire. Cathy Killick
:06:54. > :07:04.reports on the realities of a job that carries the risk of death and
:07:04. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:14.injury every day. Last year they killed or wounded 8500 coalition
:07:14. > :07:20.troops and 11,000 Afghans. IEDs, improvised explosive devices, are
:07:20. > :07:26.the Taliban's chief weapon in Afghanistan. Captain Adam
:07:26. > :07:30.Galloway's job is to destroy them before they destroy others. We know
:07:30. > :07:36.that they know where we're likely to go. They know the place more
:07:36. > :07:44.intimately. And it does work, it slows us down, it breaks morale. It
:07:44. > :07:51.costs us money. It achieves all of those things that very little cost.
:07:51. > :07:55.To them. This is the first time the MoD has allowed disposal to be
:07:55. > :08:01.filmed. We are at Helmand Province, as suspected booby-trap and the
:08:01. > :08:06.dog's reaction is the first sign that exposes our present. Searchers
:08:06. > :08:11.sweep the ground and pinpoint wires and a battery. Then add and is
:08:11. > :08:16.approached to defuse the bomb. don't see much made in setting
:08:16. > :08:20.myself out. There is luck involved in everything. If I went around
:08:20. > :08:24.thinking the next day would be my last, I would not be able to work.
:08:24. > :08:29.There is a lot at stake. In North Yorkshire, his wife and daughter
:08:29. > :08:36.love having him home. But his job carries a risk that he might
:08:36. > :08:43.disappear from their lives. Fingertips into the like... We can
:08:43. > :08:47.see the pressure plate. The job demands total focus. The exposed
:08:47. > :08:54.wires must be cut. And then uses clippers that can be triggered from
:08:54. > :09:00.a distance. We are expecting an explosion. That isn't the end of it.
:09:00. > :09:07.And underneath the pressure plate. Directly underneath... We're good
:09:07. > :09:11.to go. Firing! It is now safe to retrieve the bomb components and
:09:11. > :09:17.explosives. It will be examined for clues but stemming the tide of
:09:17. > :09:23.these bombs is proving difficult. Around 1000 or planted each month.
:09:23. > :09:27.The five kilos of explosives are blown up and Adam poses with his
:09:27. > :09:33.diffused bomb. It has taken for people four hours. One morning's
:09:33. > :09:38.work and they're lucky to survive. You can see more of Captain
:09:38. > :09:41.Galloway's story in The Bomb Squad tonight on BBC One at 10.35pm.
:09:41. > :09:44.Another soldier from the bomb disposal team has been describing
:09:44. > :09:50.how he managed not to miss the birth of his son, despite serving
:09:50. > :09:55.in Afghanistan when his wife into labour. Armed with a fully topped-
:09:55. > :09:58.up phone card, he managed to listen in on the momentous occasion.
:09:58. > :10:01.Luckily, his 100 minutes of credit lasted just long enough for
:10:01. > :10:06.Corporal Chris Ashton from York to hear the first cries of little
:10:06. > :10:08.Alfie. Peter Lugg has been to see the family. Mobile phones have
:10:09. > :10:13.played a significant part in the life of soldier Chris Ashton
:10:13. > :10:19.recently. This is his wife, Laura, with his baby son, Alfie, born on
:10:19. > :10:21.the 1st of September. On that day, when Laura went into labour at York
:10:21. > :10:26.Hospital, Chris was 4,000 miles away serving with the Royal
:10:26. > :10:30.Engineers in Afghanistan. When his son was born, Chris was performing
:10:30. > :10:37.a vital role at Camp Bastion, part of a team searching for IEDs.
:10:37. > :10:43.ringing every hour, just to see how she was progressing. And as a
:10:43. > :10:49.quarter, it was 9:45pm. He started pushing and that was it. Luckily,
:10:49. > :10:54.my friend had given me a phone card with 100 minutes. That was lucky, I
:10:54. > :10:58.really needed them. And I got to hear the birth over the phone.
:10:58. > :11:03.Knowing that he was on the other end of the phone was nice. Just to
:11:03. > :11:10.imagine he was there. Even the way could not speak to him. We have a
:11:10. > :11:16.picture showing Alfie with the phone! Yes! So that his dad could
:11:16. > :11:20.see a few words. I wanted to say hello to my little man. The midwife
:11:20. > :11:29.was really good. She let him have a conversation with me and I told him
:11:29. > :11:38.I would be home soon. The army gave him paternity leave but it still
:11:38. > :11:44.took him four days to get home. was supposed to be coming back in
:11:44. > :11:49.September. Four days is better than four weeks. Soldiers are hopeless!
:11:49. > :11:53.Yes! But we knew that from the beginning. It was nice to have him
:11:53. > :12:03.back earlier. With Chris's older son, Jay, the whole family can now
:12:03. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:09.look forward to spending some quality time together. Some fathers
:12:09. > :12:16.will do anything to get out of being that delivery run! Best
:12:16. > :12:18.wishes to them. Last Chance Saloon. That's how a police firearms
:12:18. > :12:21.tactical advisor described the unlicensed Taser weapons used at
:12:21. > :12:24.the end of the standoff with Raoul Moat. Giving evidence from behind a
:12:24. > :12:28.screen, he told an inquest jury that the priority had always been
:12:28. > :12:31.to keep the gunman alive. And the only viable option they had were
:12:31. > :12:39.Tasers which hadn't been approved for use by police in the UK. Chris
:12:39. > :12:41.Stewart reports. This is the Taser the officer was describing. Fired
:12:41. > :12:45.from a shotgun, the X12 projectile delivers a powerful electrical
:12:45. > :12:55.current. He said it was the big brother of the Tasers the police
:12:55. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :12:58.normally use. The officer identified himself only as A10. He
:12:58. > :13:01.said the Tasers were delivered here to Rothbury in Northumberland two
:13:01. > :13:05.or three hours after the standoff had begun. He knew of the existence
:13:05. > :13:11.of the Xrep, but had never seen it. During the standoff he was based at
:13:11. > :13:17.force headquarter in Ponteland. It was very frantic and hectic, he
:13:17. > :13:20.said. He said the decision had already been taken to use this as a
:13:20. > :13:25.pre-emptive strike if Raoul Moat was about to take his life. The
:13:25. > :13:33.inquest has heard how he had slid his gun from beneath his chin to
:13:33. > :13:38.his temple and the log records that one officer deployed the X12, which
:13:38. > :13:43.hit them and he then discharged his shot gone into his temple. At some
:13:43. > :13:45.point as second taser was deployed. Moat had gone on the run after
:13:45. > :13:47.shooting and injuring his girlfriend, shooting and killing
:13:47. > :13:57.her new partner and shooting and blinding a policeman. The inquest
:13:57. > :13:58.
:13:58. > :14:02.into his death is expected to take a further two-and-a-half weeks.
:14:02. > :14:07.We're often hearing how tough it can be for young people in our
:14:07. > :14:10.region looking for jobs. But in west Cumbria, the steel giant Tata
:14:10. > :14:13.has just taken on its biggest intake of young apprentices for
:14:13. > :14:19.over a decade. 20 teenagers have just started out on a three-and-a-
:14:19. > :14:23.half year scheme with high hopes of a rewarding career. Steel has real
:14:23. > :14:27.historic heritage here. The new apprentices are being offered a
:14:27. > :14:31.modern route to long-term career. wanted this apprenticeship because
:14:31. > :14:38.it offers all the qualifications that I want. For full-time
:14:38. > :14:43.employment as a mechanical engineer. I was really happy when I found out.
:14:43. > :14:46.I did not mind staying on a school but it is hands on him the
:14:46. > :14:51.apprenticeship and I don't want just to be taught to, I wanted to
:14:51. > :14:56.be hands-on. That is possible, say bosses, because the markets are
:14:56. > :15:01.opening. We are moving into the nuclear market and you could
:15:01. > :15:10.decommissioning. Defence, we have secured defence-related contracts
:15:10. > :15:13.and we are starting to look at renewable energy. In its heyday,
:15:13. > :15:17.around 10,000 people would have been employed here in the steel
:15:17. > :15:20.industry in Workington. Why that has declined over the years, there
:15:20. > :15:25.has been an improvement in the last 12 months and in that time, data
:15:25. > :15:30.Steel has taken on around 100 new people and many have been young and
:15:30. > :15:34.local. Without doubt there are good opportunities, our business is
:15:34. > :15:41.growing quickly and it's really positive and there are good
:15:41. > :15:45.opportunities for kids in this area. The political map of the North East
:15:45. > :15:50.and Cumbria could be massively altered in changes proposed today.
:15:50. > :15:54.Four of our MPs will go altogether. Others will end up representing new
:15:54. > :15:57.areas as all the boundaries are redrawn. It's all about cutting the
:15:57. > :16:07.size of Parliament. But it will lead to much bigger constituencies.
:16:07. > :16:09.
:16:09. > :16:12.Richard Moss is in one of the communities affected. This is
:16:12. > :16:16.Hexham, very picturesque and one of the biggest constituencies in
:16:16. > :16:20.England. But it's about to get even better because it will be extended
:16:21. > :16:29.further into Northumberland and into parts of Gateshead. As one of
:16:29. > :16:33.the quirks of this process, it will also have to lose parts. At 20
:16:33. > :16:36.minute drive down the road will become part of County Down and and
:16:36. > :16:41.one and have farmers try from the town. Northumberland isn't the only
:16:41. > :16:44.committee affected by this shake-up. The great cull of MPs will lead to
:16:44. > :16:48.fewer seats in the North East and Cumbria by 2015. In all, the number
:16:48. > :16:55.will drop from 35 to 31. Cumbria will lose one MP, Northumberland
:16:55. > :16:58.another and one will also go in each of Tyneside and Teesside. And
:16:58. > :17:08.some of the seats will become huge. Hexham will become the biggest in
:17:08. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:11.England, spanning over 2,600 square kilometres. In Northumberland, it's
:17:12. > :17:16.fairly rural and that means an order for us to design a seat which
:17:16. > :17:20.contains the right number of constituents, that seat must be
:17:20. > :17:23.much larger than any inner-city area but also other parts of the
:17:23. > :17:25.country. But the changes will produce some pretty strange
:17:25. > :17:28.bedfellows. One constituency will combine Whitehaven and Bowness-on-
:17:28. > :17:33.Windermere. Another, Haltwhistle in Northumberland with Barnard Castle
:17:33. > :17:43.in Durham. A third puts Rowlands Gill in Gateshead, with Rothbury in
:17:43. > :17:44.
:17:45. > :17:49.Northumberland. And it doesn't stop there. I have come to Cramlington.
:17:49. > :17:54.In the boundary changes, it isn't placed with anywhere else in
:17:54. > :17:59.Northumberland and it will be the seat with large slices of Newcastle.
:17:59. > :18:03.Anthony Charles has been duly elected... And the changes could
:18:03. > :18:06.also lead to some surprises and casualties. Tony Blair used to pile
:18:06. > :18:11.up huge Labour majorities in his Sedgefield seat, but its new
:18:11. > :18:13.boundaries could make it a Tory target. While the Cumbrian
:18:13. > :18:16.Conservative MP, Rory Stewart, faces a fight with Lib Dem
:18:16. > :18:26.President and coalition partner, Tim Farron, for a new Kendal and
:18:26. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:31.Penrith seat. These proposals are not set in stone, there will be a
:18:31. > :18:34.consultation for 12 weeks. And the Conservative MP for Hexham says he
:18:34. > :18:38.will object to some specific proposals for the spirit, even
:18:38. > :18:43.though he supports the idea for a smaller house of Commons. MPs will
:18:43. > :18:47.wonder if they have a job after the next election and if you are
:18:47. > :18:51.wondering what this means to you, more details on my blog on the
:18:51. > :19:01.website. Plenty more to come in tonight's Look North. Fridge
:19:01. > :19:11.challenge. The man who's making his Great North Run even more difficult.
:19:11. > :19:12.
:19:12. > :19:17.And the wind is dying down. But it is a slow process! It is time for
:19:17. > :19:21.the sport. I will say this cautiously. Things going well for
:19:21. > :19:24.Newcastle? Pretty good start. Newcastle United fans are pinching
:19:24. > :19:27.themselves. A goalless draw at newly-promoted Queen's Park Rangers
:19:27. > :19:33.last night has lifted the Magpies to fourth place in the Premier
:19:33. > :19:35.League table. That's despite all the criticism at the club's failure
:19:35. > :19:38.to make any transfer deadline day additions to their squad. Mark
:19:38. > :19:41.Tulip reports. Further evidence before and after last night's
:19:41. > :19:44.goalless draw in West London that Joey Barton still has a lot of time
:19:44. > :19:47.for the Newcastle team-mates he left behind. Barton captained his
:19:47. > :19:50.new club Queen's Park Rangers but in truth was subdued during a match
:19:50. > :19:57.which saw the Magpies do just enough to rise to the dizzy heights
:19:57. > :20:02.of fourth in the table. There wasn't much for another king of
:20:02. > :20:05.Twitter to report. This was about the nearest Newcastle got to
:20:05. > :20:08.scoring and the failure to recruit a top striker in the transfer
:20:08. > :20:11.window may yet come back to haunt them. QPR didn't have enough
:20:11. > :20:19.cutting edge in front of goal, either. But let's not be too
:20:19. > :20:22.churlish. Defensively, United are looking pretty solid and an away
:20:22. > :20:24.point against a club whose new owner splashed the cash in late
:20:24. > :20:28.August isn't a bad result, especially when there are 16 clubs
:20:28. > :20:31.below you. Ant and Dec looked on from the Loftus Road stands as Mr
:20:31. > :20:34.Yellow Card, Chiek Tiote, clattered his former team-mate. But to keep
:20:34. > :20:37.punching above their weight, United will need to play better and get
:20:37. > :20:42.their shooting boots on. Talk of Champions League football may be a
:20:42. > :20:45.little premature. More problems for Sunderland today. The Football
:20:45. > :20:49.Association has charged full-back and Player of the Year Phil

:20:52. > :20:56.he appeared to stamp on Chelsea's Spanish midfielder Juan Mata during
:20:56. > :21:01.Saturday's game at the Stadium of Light. Bardsley now faces a three-
:21:01. > :21:04.match ban. And the fallout has continued following the shock
:21:04. > :21:08.departure of Sunderland's record signing, Asamoah Gyan, to a club in
:21:08. > :21:13.the United Arab Emirates. Al-Ain have paid the Wearsiders a reported
:21:13. > :21:16.�6 million loan fee. Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn said the deal
:21:16. > :21:20.made financial sense given the clear desire of the player to leave
:21:20. > :21:29.Wearside. But while Quinn has left the door open for Gyan to return,
:21:29. > :21:35.for many, the saga is another sign of the times. The fans do not feel
:21:35. > :21:40.if they can connect to the players because the players are mercenaries.
:21:40. > :21:46.In the past you would have players who would stay for years. As they
:21:46. > :21:50.did it as a kid. But now it's about money. And they are controlled by
:21:50. > :21:53.agents. They're just a commodity and it is the agent's job to make
:21:53. > :21:58.as much money as they possibly can. Elsewhere, Carlisle United are at
:21:58. > :22:01.Tranmere tonight. Commentary on BBC Radio Cumbria. Cricket now, and
:22:01. > :22:08.Yorkshire chairman Colin Graves has called his players a disgrace after
:22:08. > :22:13.their County Championship relegation. He says the
:22:13. > :22:16.performances have been unacceptable. Meanwhile, Durham are hanging on to
:22:16. > :22:19.their faint hopes of winning the Division One title. They bowled
:22:19. > :22:23.Worcestershire out for 288. They lead by 27 runs with all wickets
:22:23. > :22:27.standing. Whitehaven rugby league club is looking for a new coach
:22:27. > :22:30.following their season-ending playoff defeat at Doncaster. David
:22:30. > :22:35.Seeds has resigned, explaining he needed a break after 18 years at
:22:35. > :22:38.the West Cumbrian club as both player and coach. There are just
:22:38. > :22:44.five days to go until the Great North Run and many taking part have
:22:44. > :22:50.already got a few under their belt. I had eight of them and you have
:22:50. > :22:54.one. When he beat be? So what do you do to stand out from the crowd?
:22:54. > :22:57.For one Tyneside man, the answer is obvious. Do it with a fridge
:22:57. > :23:00.strapped your back. Tony Morrison has run the famous route 15 times
:23:00. > :23:04.and he was worried he wouldn't get enough sponsorship unless he did
:23:04. > :23:08.something a bit different this year. Damian O'Neil reports. People in
:23:08. > :23:12.funny costumes are a common sight on the Great North Run, but unless
:23:12. > :23:15.you know different, no one has ever done it with a fridge on their back.
:23:15. > :23:18.On the day itself, it'll be kitted out with a sound system so that
:23:18. > :23:27.Tony can listen to music while he runs, but for today's training,
:23:28. > :23:34.it's just the fridge. It will way in excess of 40 kilos. We will have
:23:34. > :23:39.a car battery with 200 watt speakers. We are busy putting
:23:39. > :23:44.together some good tunes on my iPod. So we can cheer up the ladders
:23:44. > :23:51.along the way. We will make a bit of a noise! Do you expect to run
:23:51. > :23:56.the whole thing? I do! I am not sure what the record is for a man
:23:56. > :24:02.with the fridge. But by plan is to make people aware of the charity
:24:02. > :24:05.that has a massive effect on local society. If people can donate, that
:24:05. > :24:11.would be fabulous. It's a pretty daunting challenge that Tony has
:24:11. > :24:15.ahead of him, but his trainer believes he has what it takes.
:24:15. > :24:19.is one of the strongest, fittest men I have ever come across and he
:24:19. > :24:23.has a strong mind, what is important, especially with caring
:24:23. > :24:27.that fridge. He will need the strength of mind to get to the end.
:24:27. > :24:34.But he is a very strong individual. He would just need to watch is the
:24:34. > :24:37.work back! -- his lower back. hopes to raise over �2000 for South
:24:37. > :24:39.Tyneside Football Trust this Sunday. If you see him during the run, he'd
:24:39. > :24:49.appreciate your support. And you shouldn't have much trouble
:24:49. > :24:52.
:24:52. > :25:02.spotting him... Absolutely mad! He says the door will be stuck shut so
:25:02. > :25:04.
:25:04. > :25:09.people cannot look-in to see if he has any drink in there! We have
:25:09. > :25:14.some interesting were the pictures. Jeff was quite surprised to see
:25:14. > :25:24.this waterfall been blown up hell in Wensleydale! And a very odd
:25:24. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:31.tumble picture in Darlington. The geese migrating. How long will this
:25:32. > :25:41.last? Not much longer, the rest of the week will become gradually less
:25:42. > :25:42.
:25:42. > :25:47.Tonight, low pressure so very lively at the moment. Tomorrow, we
:25:47. > :25:51.will see the lines opening out. The wind will ease down on Wednesday.
:25:51. > :25:59.Look at there's day, high pressure, early a breath of wind and plenty
:25:59. > :26:04.of sunshine. Easily the best day of the week. Friday, the next round of
:26:04. > :26:13.weather system tumbles in. Rain and stronger breezes. Thursday is that
:26:13. > :26:16.Jim. The rain has been coming down past the border. Through the early
:26:16. > :26:22.hours it will peter out to leave one or two little drizzle the
:26:22. > :26:28.outbreaks. Overnight lows of around 11 degrees and still that lively
:26:28. > :26:34.westerly breeze. Wednesday, the crowd and players but brightness
:26:34. > :26:37.coming through early. The showers will not away and they will be
:26:37. > :26:43.replaced in the afternoon everywhere with good strong
:26:43. > :26:50.sunshine. Still some heat at this time of year and highs of 14 - 17
:26:50. > :26:55.Celsius. Not to Chile. The rest of the week? There's still looks like
:26:55. > :27:01.the best day all round. 16 Celsius but still feeling warm or with
:27:01. > :27:04.those very light winds. Cumbria, it works at the same. Thursday is the
:27:04. > :27:11.best before the showers and the breeze return on Friday. Easy to
:27:11. > :27:14.remember. Time for a last look at tonight's headlines. Tributes have
:27:14. > :27:17.been paid to a hospice ambulance driver killed by a falling tree
:27:17. > :27:20.caused by high winds. George Brown from High Etherley in County Durham
:27:20. > :27:23.died yesterday afternoon. And the cost of living rises again as
