:00:05. > :00:09.Hello. Welcome Wednesday's Look North. A poignant warning from a
:00:09. > :00:12.young bride with breast cancer, who has just days to live. Please, if
:00:12. > :00:16.you do notice something, just get it checked. It will take half an
:00:16. > :00:22.hour at the doctor. Cut off from the outside world, how people
:00:22. > :00:27.without phone lines, for up to five weeks, fear lives could be at risk.
:00:27. > :00:35.It's an espresso, the car powered by coffee attempts a world speed
:00:35. > :00:39.record. Where is Henry, my great granddad? How Chatty Man, Alan Carr,
:00:39. > :00:44.uncovered his northern roots. In football, misery for Sunderland,
:00:44. > :00:54.but a win for Carlisle United. Our top basketball team goes for glory
:00:54. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:04.again, after its first season First tonight, a poignant warning
:01:04. > :01:07.from a young bride, who's been told she has just days to live, after
:01:07. > :01:12.being diagnosed with breast cancer - don't iing nort symptoms, if you
:01:12. > :01:16.think you might have the disease. Kelly Bainbridge-Flor is just 27
:01:16. > :01:20.and doctors initially believed she was too young to have breast cancer,
:01:20. > :01:26.but now it's spread to her brain. It's her dying wish that by telling
:01:27. > :01:33.her story, the lives of other women will be saved.
:01:34. > :01:38.It's a big day for Kelly from Sunderland. Just 27, she should
:01:38. > :01:44.have everything to live for. But she's been given just a week to
:01:44. > :01:47.live. Three years ago, while living in Portugal, she found a lump.
:01:47. > :01:55.Doctors initially thought she was too young to have breast cancer,
:01:55. > :01:59.but she did. Completely shocked. I accepted it pretty quickly, after
:01:59. > :02:05.speaking to my aunties and thinking at that point that I was going to
:02:05. > :02:10.be fine. It was 13cms in total. It felt not small, but medium. I
:02:10. > :02:13.thought oh, we'll just get this cut out, I'll be fine. Now it's spread
:02:13. > :02:17.to her brain and she has just days to live.
:02:17. > :02:22.Determined to make the most of her short life, when she heard she was
:02:22. > :02:26.going to die, she married her Portuguese boyfriend. Her father at
:02:26. > :02:30.her side. We were talking about getting married next May, when we
:02:30. > :02:36.got the diagnosis, I only had a week to live, we brought forward.
:02:36. > :02:40.Luckily that was two weeks ago, so survived an extra week. Although
:02:40. > :02:46.she's now unable to save her own life. She's determined to help save
:02:46. > :02:53.others and has this warning: If you feel something, and you know, even
:02:53. > :02:59.if it's tiny, whatever the size may be, this is my mistake, I refused
:02:59. > :03:02.to listen. When he said you haven't got cancer, I thought "Oh, great."
:03:02. > :03:07.Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK. It will
:03:07. > :03:14.affect one in eight women. And each year, 47,000 women are diagnosed
:03:14. > :03:19.with it. But Kelly's case is rare because 80% of those diagnosed are
:03:19. > :03:23.over 50. But more than ever before, women are surviving breast cancer,
:03:23. > :03:27.especially if they're diagnosed early. And they're the ones Kelly
:03:27. > :03:31.wants to reach. Please, if you do notice something, just get it
:03:31. > :03:41.checked. It will take half an hour at the doctor. Or if you're scared,
:03:41. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:49.People living in one of the remotest parts of North Yorkshire
:03:49. > :03:53.say an unreliable phone service is putting their lives in danger. Some
:03:53. > :03:57.homes in Rosedale have had their phones cut off for up to five weeks.
:03:57. > :04:04.Others suffer constant noise on the line and intermittent interruptions.
:04:04. > :04:07.Peter Lugg joins us from there now, fortunately he has a satellite link.
:04:07. > :04:11.Rosedale is one of those Picture Post card areas of the country. I'm
:04:11. > :04:13.sure no-one around here would mind me saying tgz a bit of a
:04:13. > :04:17.communications black hole. We are right in the middle of the moors
:04:17. > :04:22.here. Now I can speak to you because of this lot up here on top
:04:22. > :04:26.of the truck. But if I take out my mobile phone, yeah no network
:04:26. > :04:29.coverage. If you think that's frustrating, what about having no
:04:29. > :04:37.land line? Spare a thought for some of these people I spoke to earlier
:04:37. > :04:42.in the day. Nestling in the moors north of Pickering, the Rosedale
:04:42. > :04:47.valley. At its head the scattering of properties that make up Rosedale
:04:47. > :04:52.east. School row, a terrace of 15 former miners cottages is where
:04:52. > :04:55.phone services are most problematic. Look North viewer Steve Martin's
:04:55. > :05:05.parents live here. The family would normally be in touch every couple
:05:05. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:10.of days, but recently that's not been possible. Hello! Stephen sends
:05:10. > :05:15.his love. He says he's sorry to not get through for ten days.. That's
:05:15. > :05:19.right. This is the phone is it? That's the phone. The phone's been
:05:19. > :05:24.off for five weeks, more than just an inconvenience for vulnerable
:05:24. > :05:34.pensioners. If there was an emergency, we wouldn't be able to
:05:34. > :05:38.call the doctor. I'd have to get in the car and go and drive.
:05:38. > :05:42.presumably you're still paying your billles? Oh, yes, the bills have
:05:42. > :05:46.been deducted every month from our bank account. Mobiles? They work
:05:46. > :05:50.perfectly, so long as you're standing at the top of the bank
:05:50. > :05:59.there. E-mail, Broadband? Not a chance. No, the only communications
:05:59. > :06:03.that the Martins have is the village phone box, two miles away.
:06:03. > :06:11.And thankfully, that's still working. The unreliable phone
:06:11. > :06:15.service is most frustrating for those like guest house owner Colin
:06:15. > :06:18.Sample. It started off with all the crackling. You could hardly hear
:06:18. > :06:24.any conversation from people phoning in at all, nothing. Then
:06:24. > :06:30.we've got in touch with them through loads of friends. They
:06:30. > :06:35.contacted BT from daughters, sons, everywhere. They phoned into BT to
:06:35. > :06:40.tell them that our line was shattered, no go. The fault appears
:06:40. > :06:46.to lie either with the lines or with the local exchange. Either way,
:06:46. > :06:52.despite being told by BT that their case is a priority, while they pay
:06:52. > :06:56.their bills, subscribers' phone problems continue.
:06:56. > :07:02.So Peter, what have BT had to say about this? Have they got engineers
:07:02. > :07:04.working on it? Well, BT say they would like to apologise first to
:07:04. > :07:08.all those people particularly in Rosedale east who have been without
:07:08. > :07:14.services for so long. They have discovered what the problem is. It
:07:14. > :07:17.lies in an underground cable fault, which so far has involved four
:07:17. > :07:24.separate excavations. They hope and promise to have all services
:07:24. > :07:27.restored by the end of tomorrow. Thank you very much.
:07:27. > :07:31.Now there's been a big rise in unemployment in the north-east.
:07:31. > :07:34.It's up by 18,000 in the three months to July, more than 10% of
:07:34. > :07:38.people are currently without work, the highest rate in the UK. In
:07:38. > :07:43.Cumbria, the number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance rose
:07:43. > :07:46.by 233 last month. That's up to 8,729.
:07:47. > :07:51.A mother's hit out, after hospital staff failed to spot a piece of
:07:51. > :07:56.plastic, the size of a two pence piece, down her baby's throat.
:07:56. > :08:00.Vanessa Ramshaw rang 999 when nine -month-old Leo started choking at
:08:01. > :08:04.home. A doctor at South Tyneside District Hospital said he had
:08:04. > :08:09.tonsillitis and discharged him. Two hours later, she found the plastic
:08:09. > :08:13.and pull today out. They made me believe that he actually had
:08:13. > :08:19.tonsillitis. I really thought he did have that. They give us Nurofen
:08:19. > :08:22.and told us to dose him on that and paracetamol. That would have been
:08:22. > :08:28.giving my child stuff that he didn't even need. Had I put him to
:08:28. > :08:31.bed that night, I don't think I would have had him now. South
:08:32. > :08:35.Tyneside District Hospital said they were unaware of Miss Ramshaw's
:08:35. > :08:39.concerns and would be happy to discuss them with her. A spokesman
:08:39. > :08:47.said they weren't made aware that Leo may have swallowed anything and
:08:47. > :08:51.hoped he was making good progress. Two Tasers were fired at the
:08:51. > :08:55.fugitive gunman Raoul Moat. One missed an the other had no effect.
:08:55. > :08:59.That's what an inquest into Moat's death has been told this afternoon.
:08:59. > :09:03.It's day eight of the hearing at Newcastle Crown Court. Chris
:09:03. > :09:08.Stewart joins us from there now. Chris, we've waited a long time for
:09:08. > :09:12.this particular evidence. Yes, ever since that night in July last year,
:09:12. > :09:18.two Taser rounds were fired at Moat, and as you say, one officer has
:09:18. > :09:22.told us today that his missed. Another officer said his had no
:09:22. > :09:26.effect whatsoever. This Taser weapon not seen before in this
:09:26. > :09:29.country, a weapon both those officers said they were confident
:09:29. > :09:34.in using, despite having only a five-minute briefing on how it
:09:34. > :09:39.worked. When Raoul Moat was found after a
:09:39. > :09:44.huge man hunt, the plan was to take him alive. So on the river bank,
:09:44. > :09:48.where he was surrounded, negotiators tried to get him to
:09:48. > :09:54.give himself up. To help achieve that aim, the police had a new
:09:54. > :10:00.weapon, the X12 Taser shot gun, designed to deliver an electric
:10:00. > :10:05.shock via an X-rep projectile. The team who fired them that night had
:10:05. > :10:09.never used nor seen one before. Tango 21, the team leader told the
:10:09. > :10:15.Coroner today, "I did raise the issue that myself and the other
:10:15. > :10:21.four officers were not trained." The reply was, "You are shot gun
:10:21. > :10:27.trained and you are Taser trained." This is the scene the morning after,
:10:27. > :10:32.tango 21 and an officer with the Taser had been positioned by this
:10:33. > :10:37.car, about 15 metres from Moat. Hours earlier, in torrential rain,
:10:37. > :10:43.Moat was heard to say, "It's going to end in this field tonight." He
:10:43. > :10:48.then raised his gun to his head, tango 21 said one of the Tasers was
:10:48. > :10:56.then fired at Moat. "I became aware of a bang over to my left. Moat let
:10:56. > :11:00.out a yelp, as though he'd been struck by something. "A second
:11:00. > :11:05.Taser was fired but it missed. Moat shot himself then before officers
:11:05. > :11:13.rushed forward. And this is Moat's sawn-off shot
:11:13. > :11:17.gun lying in the rain-soaked grass. We already know that the X12 and X-
:11:17. > :11:20.rep were not licensed for use by the Home Office. The police say
:11:20. > :11:26.they did use it because it still represented their best chance of
:11:26. > :11:29.bringing moat in alive. -- Moat in alive.
:11:29. > :11:32.The Princess Royal's been touring the north-east today, with visits
:11:32. > :11:37.to Durham's county hall and Newcastle University. Hundreds
:11:37. > :11:41.lined the streets as Princess Anne started her tour in Stockton for
:11:42. > :11:44.the official opening for the George Hardwick Foundation carers centre.
:11:44. > :11:48.�500,000 has been spent on state- of-the-art facilities for carers
:11:49. > :11:55.and their families, with everything from a creche to a spa.
:11:55. > :12:00.You're watching Look North, still to come: The sports desk, plus, how
:12:00. > :12:04.comedian Alan Carr uncovered his northern roots for The Who who
:12:04. > :12:14.programme. And the forecast - the winds may be dying down but we
:12:14. > :12:17.could have a touch of frost in Last night, we featured the story
:12:17. > :12:21.of Gary Parkinson, the former Middlesbrough footballer who is
:12:22. > :12:25.battling to recover from a major stroke, that's left him paralysed.
:12:25. > :12:29.The condition known as locked in syndrome means he's awake, but
:12:29. > :12:33.can't move his body or speak. Tonight, we meet a woman who Gary's
:12:33. > :12:37.family say is their inspiration. Last year Kate Allatt defied
:12:37. > :12:44.medical opinion to make a full recovery from the condition. We
:12:44. > :12:48.mentioned her in yesterday's story. Kate was young, fit and healthy,
:12:48. > :12:53.when she collapsed at home. The next thing she remembers is being
:12:54. > :13:00.in a hospital bed three days later. I woke up with tubes and all sorts
:13:00. > :13:04.in my face, arms a nappy on. As I lay there, I thought I was checking
:13:04. > :13:09.my body and realised very quickly nothing moved. I tried to scream,
:13:09. > :13:15.nothing came out. Just trapped in my own body, helpless. Just eight
:13:15. > :13:20.months later, she amazed doctors by making a full recovery. She accepts
:13:20. > :13:23.every case of Locked In Syndrome is different, but she believes a
:13:23. > :13:28.mixture of early intensive therapy and a feeling of anger that her
:13:28. > :13:32.life was written off inspired her fight. I wanted to come back for my
:13:32. > :13:35.kids. They were only six, nine and 11 at the time. I didn't want to be
:13:35. > :13:44.in a nursing home shut away from them and seeing them once a week.
:13:44. > :13:49.It was that rage that fuelled my -- me, a rage that where "Damn you, I
:13:50. > :13:54.will be home. I'll prove you all bloody wrong." Kate has already
:13:54. > :13:59.visited Gary in hospital and says as a professional athlete he
:13:59. > :14:03.already has the strength and focus needed for the fight ahead.
:14:03. > :14:06.commitment from the medical team around him to really want to try
:14:06. > :14:13.everything to improve his situation. At the same time, though, I think
:14:13. > :14:19.he needs the emotional support and needs to carry him through to wroit
:14:19. > :14:27.a book, to write your memoirs, to coach from the sidelines, in the
:14:27. > :14:33.same way Matt Hanson does, or Christopher Reeves. A year after
:14:33. > :14:36.leaving hospital Kate has become an author and founded the charity
:14:36. > :14:43.Fighting Strokes to help families facing the same ordeal.
:14:43. > :14:48.Amazing story. Now the comedian, Alan Carr, has surprisingly strong
:14:48. > :14:53.links with the tonight. Tonight he discovers a whole new side to his
:14:53. > :15:00.family as the spotlight falls to him in the Who Do You Think You Are
:15:00. > :15:04.programme. I remember when I had to tell my
:15:04. > :15:08.dad that I wasn't going to become a footballer. Oh, my God. This is the
:15:08. > :15:13.Alan Carr we all know, splendidly over the top, a highly defined
:15:13. > :15:19.sense of the absurd, reduces interviewers to helpless giggles.
:15:19. > :15:24.He said "Why are you doing this to me?" I don't know. I can show you
:15:24. > :15:27.through expressive dance. Like so many people featured on the
:15:27. > :15:32.BBC's family tree show, he found there were parts of their history
:15:32. > :15:36.he knew very little or nothing about. The strange circumstances of
:15:36. > :15:41.the name change of great grandparents after an incident in
:15:41. > :15:45.the trenches. His family's involvement in a pit disaster and
:15:45. > :15:49.of course, football. Anyone who's seen his act knows about his dad's
:15:49. > :15:54.career in the game. Tonight Alan hears about another sportsman in
:15:54. > :16:00.the family, his granddad. Who better to ask than dad? Did you
:16:00. > :16:04.ever see granddad play? No, no. He went to West Brom, hoping for a
:16:04. > :16:07.better opportunity and he had a spell at West Brom where he had a
:16:07. > :16:11.knee injury and that finished him. Then it was back to the mines,
:16:11. > :16:18.which was the only thing to do in those days. He was there till he
:16:18. > :16:24.was 65. You're talking from 35 years in the pits. Who Do You Think
:16:24. > :16:29.You Are with Alan Carr tonight on BBC One at 9pm.
:16:29. > :16:34.Definitely watching that one. Now a car powered entirely by old coffee
:16:34. > :16:39.beans was involved in an attempt to break a land speed record today.
:16:39. > :16:49.The old Rover was modified by a team from Teesdale and sent out
:16:49. > :16:52.onto a track in York. Back at Elvington airfield, the
:16:52. > :16:58.coffee-powered car, the Carpaccino. It had a dry run in August. Today
:16:58. > :17:03.it's trying to break a land speed record. The record for vehicles
:17:03. > :17:10.powered by gassification, basically burnt waste. Dried pellets of
:17:10. > :17:13.coffee grounds power the car. The speed is impressive. 75. To satisfy
:17:13. > :17:19.the record books two runs up and down the track have to be logged
:17:19. > :17:23.and the average taken. A quick refill's needed. A quick burst of
:17:23. > :17:26.caffeine, this is the second pass Martin has to do to get the land
:17:26. > :17:31.speed record, only it's into the wind, so it's much more difficult.
:17:31. > :17:37.Sure enough, the wind slows him down, but it's still enough to
:17:37. > :17:41.clinch that record. 58-and-a- halfmph. I'm over the moon,
:17:41. > :17:46.obviously, it is fraught with problems, running a car on coffee,
:17:46. > :17:51.it's not the easiest thing in the world by any imagination. We've had
:17:51. > :17:56.some serious problems with this car. We bought a cheap, second-hand car.
:17:56. > :18:00.Cheap or not it wooped America's behind and it will now tour schools,
:18:00. > :18:06.teaching children there could be more to coffee than a drink in a
:18:06. > :18:10.cup. It's a headline writer's dream,
:18:10. > :18:16.that car. Can you imagine the things you could come out with.
:18:16. > :18:21.good to me, I hate coffee. I didn't know that. Tea-power would be all
:18:21. > :18:24.right. We start with football and we'll kick off with the news that
:18:24. > :18:28.Sunderland defender Phil Barnsley has been banned for four matches.
:18:28. > :18:31.The club decided not to challenge the Football Association charge of
:18:31. > :18:37.violent conduct for this incident in Saturday's game with Chelsea,
:18:37. > :18:41.when Barnsley appeared to stamp on the Spaniard Matter. Barnsley has
:18:41. > :18:45.been suspended this season after being sent off against Newcastle.
:18:45. > :18:48.Bad news for Sunderland, but good for Carlisle though. After four
:18:48. > :18:53.straight defeats they got back to winning ways in League One at tran
:18:53. > :18:56.peer last night. It took just three minutes for the Cumbrians to take
:18:56. > :19:01.the lead through Lee Miller. It's the first time they've scored in
:19:01. > :19:06.the first-of a game all season. Adam Collin pulled off a good save,
:19:06. > :19:10.but this is the second time they score. James Berrett stepping up to
:19:10. > :19:15.smack home the penalty. Rovers pulled a goal back in the second
:19:15. > :19:20.half. It looked like a foul here on the keeper. But Greg Abbott's side
:19:20. > :19:24.held on to take all three points. Now for the first time in six years,
:19:24. > :19:28.our most successful professional sports team is going into a new
:19:28. > :19:32.basketball season without a trophy to defend. The last 12 months have
:19:32. > :19:36.tested them to the limit on and off the court.
:19:36. > :19:42.Warming up against a USA select team for the first time in six
:19:42. > :19:46.years, the Eagles find themselves not defending a single trophy.
:19:46. > :19:50.They've been the most successful British basketball team. Last
:19:50. > :19:55.season they won nothing. We had won so much, there was an expectation
:19:55. > :19:58.to win. When you won it was almost relief rather than enjoyment. Then
:19:58. > :20:02.not winning was kind of, well, what's going on here. You didn't
:20:02. > :20:10.know what to feel. We'd not been through it for so long. It was a
:20:10. > :20:15.kind of emptiness. Emptiness too for Fab Flournoy. After almost
:20:15. > :20:20.dying from pneumonia he was forced to put into perspective. The fact
:20:21. > :20:26.he's on court at all is remarkable. I didn't consider retiring or
:20:26. > :20:30.finishing. It was whether or not my body was making that decision for
:20:30. > :20:34.me. I need the time to find out whether or not I can come back and

:20:39. > :20:44.effect the pneumonia did on me and what I can and can't do. Right now
:20:44. > :20:50.I don't have those answers. Andy Thomson join the squad from Mersey
:20:50. > :20:59.Tigers. At 6'10" the power forward hopes to help his new side to win
:20:59. > :21:04.them back. It was the first kit that someone bought me when I was a
:21:04. > :21:09.kid. It was one of the perks of coming up here that I could go and
:21:09. > :21:13.see some games. Normality would do just fine, even a trip home to New
:21:13. > :21:17.York was problematic. We had the earthquake on the Tuesday. Than a
:21:17. > :21:26.hurricane on a Saturday. Every time I go home, it seems like there's a
:21:27. > :21:33.natural disaster waiting for me. Now cricket, Durham's Scott
:21:33. > :21:37.Borthwick and Ben Stokes join the England squad for the two match
:21:37. > :21:40.Twenty20 series against the West Indies. Durham have set
:21:40. > :21:43.Worcestershire 365 to win at Chester-le-Street. The visitors go
:21:43. > :21:47.into the final day of the season on 65 for two. Durham still hoping
:21:47. > :21:50.they can win the championship. Warwickshire and Lancashire should
:21:50. > :21:54.both win their matches, which will leave Durham in third.
:21:54. > :21:59.Now the Countdown continues, to Sunday's Great North Run. Taking
:21:59. > :22:03.part for the first time this year is 17-year-old Mathew Loftus.
:22:03. > :22:11.Mathew's blind and raising money for a special youth club in
:22:11. > :22:15.Newcastle that changed his life. Mathew Loftus and Peter Snowdon are
:22:15. > :22:19.under starter's orders. Mathew was registered blind at the age of
:22:19. > :22:23.three. This will be his first try at the event. I feel confident. I
:22:24. > :22:28.feel fit enough to do it. I reckon I'll last it, just steady and it's
:22:28. > :22:32.for a good cause. I'm going to do it to get the money. Peter is
:22:32. > :22:37.Mathew's running guide. He's a late replacement after his First Choice
:22:37. > :22:41.did his knee playing football. lot of trust is involved as well.
:22:41. > :22:46.Mathew trusts the people who he's selected as guides, to make sure he
:22:46. > :22:53.doesn't run into a lamppost or something else like that. And this
:22:53. > :22:56.is what Mathew is doing it for, VI youth meets in an old school kich
:22:56. > :23:01.anyone heaton. It organising youth clubs, outings and adventure
:23:01. > :23:07.holidays for 15 blind and partially sighted young people. Without
:23:07. > :23:10.regular donations, it would close down. If I didn't come here, there
:23:10. > :23:13.wouldn't be much else for them to do. They can't hang around the
:23:14. > :23:19.streets. They can't go on their bikes. They can't go in town
:23:19. > :23:23.meeting their mates and hanging around. When you're blind or have a
:23:23. > :23:27.visual impairment, life is totally different. I've been a member here
:23:27. > :23:32.for over ten years. I thought it was time I started giving something
:23:32. > :23:40.back. I've done climbing, canoing, paintballing and if I hadn't have
:23:40. > :23:43.done them things I would never have done them by myself.
:23:43. > :23:49.Good luck Mathew. Before we leave the Great North Run, you might
:23:49. > :23:52.remember last night we told you about Tony Morrison from south
:23:52. > :23:56.Tyneside doing the run with a fridge strapped to his back.
:23:57. > :24:02.he's done is taken the glass shelves out. The workings are still
:24:02. > :24:06.in there. We've had an e-mail from St Oswald's hospice in Newcastle to
:24:06. > :24:10.say their chef Dave Taylor did that last year and is doing it again
:24:10. > :24:15.this year. But he's also pushing one of their day patients, Rebecca
:24:15. > :24:21.Parslow in her wheelchair. Anything you can do.... It's unbelievable!
:24:21. > :24:26.You'll be able to tell the two fridge men apart. I can't believe
:24:26. > :24:30.it. Great North Run fever time, the build up, is it too early to ask
:24:30. > :24:34.about the weather? We have a bit of an idea. It's not looking bad for
:24:34. > :24:38.Sunday at the moment. Some of the runners must have been worried this
:24:38. > :24:43.week if they had to battle the winds. They are dying down. Sunday
:24:43. > :24:47.winds. They are dying down. Sunday doesn't look bad at all. It's
:24:47. > :24:50.looking good at the moment. There is still time for it to change
:24:50. > :24:57.though. Talking of the winds, I've been keeping an eye on the gusts
:24:57. > :25:01.through this week. Loftus has been the windiest place. Monday the
:25:01. > :25:05.gusts were 70mph, yesterday 50-odd. Today dropping to 30-odd. They
:25:05. > :25:13.should drop out completely tomorrow. Likewise, the weather has gone from
:25:13. > :25:18.scenes like this at the normally calm water of Buttermere, there you
:25:18. > :25:23.a transition like this, beautiful with the rain bows to this, plenty
:25:23. > :25:27.of blue sky out and about around the region. The conkers blown off
:25:27. > :25:30.the trees there. If you like the blue sky and less of a breeze, then
:25:30. > :25:34.tomorrow is shaping up to be the best Dave your week. Tomorrow it's
:25:34. > :25:37.one to make the most of if you want to get out and about. Let's look at
:25:37. > :25:41.this evening then. The improvement is starting through the night. The
:25:41. > :25:46.cloud melting away to the south, taking any showers with it. Clear,
:25:46. > :25:51.dry skies overnight tonight and as the winds die down, more Autumn
:25:51. > :25:55.phenomena coming to the fore. You may get mist and fog patches with a
:25:55. > :26:00.light breeze overnight and maybe a touch of grass fost in rural places.
:26:00. > :26:03.In our major towns temperatures dipping to four or five Celsius. In
:26:03. > :26:07.rural areas a touch below that. There could be a touch of frost and
:26:07. > :26:11.if you have your tender plants out you may want to take them in
:26:11. > :26:14.tonight. A chilly start to the day tomorrow. But a broigt and crisp
:26:14. > :26:18.start. That sunshine coming through early in the day, lasting right the
:26:18. > :26:22.way through. A little bit of cloud creeping in around the north-east
:26:22. > :26:26.coast. But nothing to worry us tomorrow - dry, fine day and of
:26:26. > :26:29.course, barely a breath of air tomorrow. Very, very light breeze
:26:29. > :26:34.indeed. It all mean that's it's going to feel much warmer than it
:26:34. > :26:36.has done. Highs of 16 or 17 Celsius, without that strong wind. Feeling
:26:36. > :26:40.very pleasant if you're out and about tomorrow. Now through the
:26:40. > :26:43.rest of the week, Friday, you'll see it turns more unsettled.
:26:43. > :26:47.There's rain blowing in later in the day that. Stays for Saturday as
:26:47. > :26:50.well. Can you see the lines on the charts, crowding in again. Getting
:26:50. > :26:54.a little more breezy for Saturday. For Sunday, things start to calm
:26:54. > :26:58.down a bit. The low pull as way. Maybe the odd shower, particularly
:26:58. > :27:02.for north Northumberland but a fairly dry day for the Great North
:27:02. > :27:06.Run. Here's what I mean about a tail wind, it should be from the
:27:06. > :27:11.north or North West, it should help you on the way to South Shields,
:27:11. > :27:17.foo you're running. -- if you're running.
:27:17. > :27:19.A quick word about engineering word on the Pontop Pike transmitter.
:27:19. > :27:23.We're told there could be disruption for viewers on the
:27:23. > :27:27.fringes of that reception area. This is part of the plan for
