:00:06. > :00:09.Welcome to Look North. Tonight. The NHS Trust under fire for refusing

:00:09. > :00:14.to re-employ this nurse, and spending hundreds of thousands of

:00:14. > :00:19.pounds on legal fees. Is there hope for these homes? Residents say the

:00:19. > :00:23.erosion that has claimed three houses appears to have stopped. A

:00:23. > :00:27.cuckoo in the nest. The family of Bluebird racer Donald Campbell say

:00:27. > :00:32.they are outraged by the appearance of this lookalike on the water

:00:33. > :00:37.where he met his death and getting their land legs. The crew of HMS

:00:37. > :00:40.Bulwark ship shape and on parade in their adopted city. A few games

:00:40. > :00:44.into the season and it is make or break for the region's top Rugby

:00:44. > :00:47.Union side and he south on the big stage at the weekend. Sunderland

:00:47. > :00:57.star striker warms up for a trip to Manchester United, by strolling

:00:57. > :01:05.

:01:05. > :01:10.They are there to spend money on healthcare but tonight the bosses

:01:11. > :01:13.at one of our NHS Trusts are under fire for spending it on lawyers,

:01:13. > :01:19.Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Trust has run up a bill into

:01:19. > :01:22.hundreds of thousands of pounds. And why? Because they refused to

:01:22. > :01:28.comply with an employment tribunal order to reinstate a nurse after

:01:28. > :01:33.they had sacked him unfairly our chief reporter has the story. It

:01:33. > :01:37.has gone on for five years now, first Yunus Backsh was suspended,

:01:37. > :01:40.then sacked. He was accused of bullying colleagues but when the

:01:40. > :01:45.matter came to an employment tribunal, it was ruled that the

:01:45. > :01:50.real reason for his sacking was his activities as a trade unionist and

:01:50. > :01:55.crucially, the tribunal ordered his reinstatement. That order though

:01:56. > :02:01.was flouted. So now this tribunal is over, what has been the cost to

:02:01. > :02:05.the taxpayer? Well �100,000 to pay for the trusts own lawyers.

:02:05. > :02:12.�100,000 to pay for Yunus Backsh's lawyers and Yunus Backsh is

:02:12. > :02:16.eligible to be paid now the maximum compensation package of �105,000,

:02:16. > :02:22.more than �300,000 all together. That public servants were prepared

:02:22. > :02:25.to spend public money in this way said the tribunal was utterly

:02:25. > :02:30.reprehensible. Despite the ruling a mental health nurse with 23 years

:02:30. > :02:34.service has to accept his career is effectively over. It is a sad day,

:02:34. > :02:40.it is a very sad day indeed they should do what they did, and not be

:02:40. > :02:46.prepared to put up a witness or any evidence in the hearing today. That

:02:46. > :02:49.is a disgrace. An utter disgrace. His former employer is one of the

:02:49. > :02:52.country's biggest mental Health Trusts looking after hospitals like

:02:52. > :02:57.St Nicholas in Newcastle. In a statement tonight the trust said it

:02:57. > :03:05.believed it has acted appropriately. And couldn't produce witnesses to

:03:05. > :03:09.the tribunal, without harming its employees. Now they have been lived

:03:09. > :03:12.on the edge, right on the edge for years but people living on a

:03:12. > :03:18.crumbling cliff near Scarborough say they are hopeful the landslides

:03:18. > :03:21.have stopped. Three homes have been demolished at Knipe Point because

:03:21. > :03:24.of erosion but while the landslips have stopped for now, some

:03:24. > :03:30.residents fear too much damage has already been done. They are looking

:03:30. > :03:34.for somewhere else to live in case their homes don't survive. For four

:03:34. > :03:41.years, the people living here have been watching their gardens slip

:03:41. > :03:46.away. Uninsure how much longer they can stay. Already three homes have

:03:46. > :03:52.been demolished, to stop them falling over the crumbling cliff

:03:52. > :03:57.edge. This is bad. It has stopped. Some of the residents believe the

:03:57. > :04:01.cliff may have stopped crumbling. They think water pouring down the

:04:01. > :04:06.edge each morning could have been responsible for the erosion. They

:04:06. > :04:11.told me the water has stopped running, ever since Yorkshire Water

:04:11. > :04:14.carried out improvement work nearby. Whether their new pipes had

:04:14. > :04:18.anything to do with it I don't think, it seems cones dental. We

:04:18. > :04:22.hope things are slowing down and stopping now. But Yorkshire Water

:04:22. > :04:27.denies any of the work they have done in the area is linked. The

:04:27. > :04:32.company says it is replacing ageing man-hole, and adds that a pipe

:04:32. > :04:36.taking treated water out to sea has no leak, but the company is taking

:04:36. > :04:40.the opportunity to replace the pipe with a new one. So, some of the

:04:40. > :04:44.residents believe the problem may have been solved. But even if that

:04:44. > :04:48.is the case, they can't know for sure if this cliff will ever be

:04:48. > :04:54.safe. The damage to these homes may already have been done. So the

:04:54. > :04:59.residents are pushing ahead with Plan B, and this is it. One million

:04:59. > :05:03.pounds of Government money is available if their homes still and

:05:03. > :05:08.up being demolished. They want to build eco-lodges at this site four

:05:08. > :05:13.miles down the road from Knipe Point. It is very similar to Knipe

:05:13. > :05:19.Point. It is very secluded, and it is the nearest thing like for like

:05:19. > :05:23.that we've seen, that has been on offer. But their dream is to stay

:05:23. > :05:28.put. Last Christmas, huge chunks of land fell away here, as snow and

:05:28. > :05:38.ice arrived. It is hoped this year the cliff may be better able to

:05:38. > :05:41.

:05:41. > :05:46.face the test of winter. The jury in the inquest of a County Durham

:05:46. > :05:50.man who was shot dead by police has been sent home for the night. Keith

:05:50. > :05:55.Richards died in May 2009 at a stand off with police during which

:05:55. > :05:58.he fired his crossbow out of the window of a house in Shildon. The

:05:58. > :06:02.inquest in Newton Aycliffe heard his crossbow was hard to fire with

:06:02. > :06:06.accuracy and unlikely to kill. But officers at the scene didn't know

:06:06. > :06:11.that. They didn't know if their body armour would protect them if

:06:11. > :06:14.they were hit by a bolt. The jury will return tomorrow. The new

:06:14. > :06:19.Bishop of Durham, a former financier is backing calls for a

:06:19. > :06:21.so-called Robin Hood tax. He says banking should return to serving

:06:22. > :06:25.the common good. It follows the response of the Archbishop of

:06:25. > :06:30.Canterbury to the protest outside St Paul's in London, calling for a

:06:30. > :06:35.new tax on financial transactions. In areas like the North East get

:06:35. > :06:42.side swiped when banks go wrong in far away places, of which we know

:06:42. > :06:50.little. And so the need for capitalism to have a moral basis,

:06:50. > :06:53.to have a value basis, a spiritual basis if you like, is rarely --

:06:53. > :06:57.really essential. The family of speed boat racer Donald Campbell

:06:57. > :07:01.say they are outraged by the appearance of a racing boat on

:07:01. > :07:04.Coniston during annual records week, which looks just like the famous

:07:04. > :07:08.Bluebird. They say the makers of the vessel should have consulted

:07:08. > :07:15.the family first and have carried out a shameless publicity stunt.

:07:15. > :07:25.Those behind the new boat known as K777 say no hurt or disrespect was

:07:25. > :07:26.

:07:26. > :07:31.intended. Bluebird, which crashed in January 1967 killing Donald

:07:31. > :07:35.Campbell is regarded as an icon. This vessel certainly bears a

:07:35. > :07:40.resemblance but they say it is not intended as an insult to the family.

:07:40. > :07:44.The boat is of a similar design. The first ones to say that. However,

:07:44. > :07:49.when we started this project, what we set out to do was build a

:07:49. > :07:52.British jet boat, when you start out with that there is no plan, you

:07:52. > :07:56.go back to the most successful boat there has been this the past and

:07:56. > :08:01.that was Bluebird. So that was our staurting point. The idea is to

:08:01. > :08:06.build a boat, hopefully get it rung and this becomes a stepping stone,

:08:06. > :08:09.we can go to sponsor, backers and say we are the real package, the

:08:09. > :08:14.real deal, we can build a boat to bring the water speed record back

:08:14. > :08:18.to Britain, back where it belongs. It is ten years since Bluebird was

:08:18. > :08:22.raised from the bottom of the Coniston, for the last three she

:08:22. > :08:26.has been under going restoration in north sheelsd. Family hope a trial

:08:27. > :08:33.run of a restored Bluebird would be the boat's first appearance back on

:08:33. > :08:38.the lake. They feel up staged by a boat nay say is just too similar to

:08:38. > :08:45.dam's original.. Anything that takes the gloss off the hard work

:08:45. > :08:48.and enthusiasm and the expense that been spent on K7, I think is

:08:48. > :08:53.diabolical. It will upset me and the rest of my family. Not even

:08:53. > :08:58.thinks it should be seen as a snub. A lot of people have said to me in

:08:58. > :09:03.the village, that they think that the blue boat could well be a

:09:03. > :09:11.tribute to the engineering excellence that Donald and his

:09:11. > :09:15.family started. Work started on the multi-million pound redevelopment

:09:15. > :09:22.of central Gateshead. A thousand jobs will be created by the 150

:09:22. > :09:28.biggest of its type outside London. It will see a new town square, 45

:09:28. > :09:32.shops, health centre, offices and a village for 1,000 students. Now it

:09:32. > :09:37.has been reported that the runner accused of riding in a bus for part

:09:37. > :09:40.of the Kielder marathon plans to sign up for Sunderland's Marathon

:09:40. > :09:44.of the North next May. Rob Sloan denied cheating in the Kielder

:09:44. > :09:51.marathon he was given a medal for finishing third which was later

:09:51. > :09:53.awarded to another runner. He was disqualified and thrown out of his

:09:53. > :09:57.running club. The royal Navy's flagship HMS Bulwark is docked in

:09:57. > :10:01.the North East this week and the crew took a break from their duties

:10:01. > :10:05.to parade through Durham. Bulwark is the city's adopted battleship

:10:05. > :10:15.and the crew are honorary freemen. Richard Moss was there to see the

:10:15. > :10:19.

:10:19. > :10:23.public pay tribute to some of Durham might not be near the sea

:10:24. > :10:28.but city has a close relationship with these sailors. HMS Bulwark's

:10:28. > :10:34.crew has the freedom of the city. That iv gives them the right to

:10:34. > :10:40.parade through it complete with Royal Marine band. And for some,

:10:40. > :10:45.the North East is more than just an adopted home. I looked over palace

:10:45. > :10:50.green at my college rooms when I graduated many years ago. But it is

:10:50. > :10:54.a real privilege to come back as a captain and graduate. We operate

:10:54. > :11:01.all over the world. To know we come home and have that appreciation

:11:01. > :11:06.from everyone that the work isn't in vain. It means a lot. The to

:11:06. > :11:10.know we have our friend and family back in Durham makes a difference

:11:10. > :11:15.to us. And the crew did get a gift of a local street sign as another

:11:15. > :11:20.reminder of their relationship with Durham, and its people. It adds a

:11:20. > :11:25.lot to the glamour of this city, and makes it feel special. The fact

:11:25. > :11:32.that they take the time from their bidsy schedule, to spend a day with

:11:32. > :11:35.us such as this. -- busy. Bulwark's crew head to sea again

:11:35. > :11:45.tomorrow, but they will carry with them the memories of this day on

:11:45. > :11:46.

:11:46. > :11:49.dry land. Very smart indeed. Coming up next we meet the artist behind

:11:49. > :11:52.the spectacular Northumberlandia project, and the BBC's launching

:11:52. > :11:57.another chance for comedy talent from this region to make the big

:11:57. > :12:07.time. And we reveal the last few pictures for our brand-new weather

:12:07. > :12:11.calendar. You can get your hands on it from tomorrow. Not long now. The

:12:11. > :12:15.final touches are being put to the region's latest public artwork, a

:12:16. > :12:19.huge figure of a woman cut into the earth at on a opencast mine in

:12:19. > :12:22.Northumberland. In a year's time the sculpture will become the

:12:22. > :12:28.centrepiece of a country park and the 2.5 million pounds cost has

:12:28. > :12:38.been met by the land owners and the coal company. We have the second

:12:38. > :12:43.

:12:43. > :12:49.This near Cramlington in Northumberland is the largest

:12:49. > :12:56.opencast mine in the country. It is expected to yield some 5.5 million

:12:56. > :13:01.tonnes of coal. And this is Northumberlandia. Crated from the

:13:01. > :13:08.left overs of the mine and carved here by the men who mine the coal.

:13:08. > :13:13.It is the largest replica of a human body ever seen on the planet.

:13:13. > :13:17.A reclining female form, a quarter of a mile long. When the country

:13:17. > :13:25.park opens a year from now, there will be four miles of paths all

:13:25. > :13:29.over this figure, with a number of Laings round its base. Things

:13:29. > :13:33.revealed about the project that we at the team didn't realise. In

:13:33. > :13:38.particular the spectacular views you can enjoy from the high points

:13:38. > :13:41.on it, and the joy of exploring Northumberlandia by walking on the

:13:41. > :13:50.different paths and taking a different route, so we think it

:13:50. > :13:53.will be a special place for people to come and enjoy. The land owners

:13:53. > :13:57.are equally enthusiastic. believe it will draw people to

:13:57. > :14:02.Northumberland, we also believe it will be a great facility for the

:14:02. > :14:05.local people to enjoy, be it walking or just picnicking, for fr

:14:05. > :14:14.the estate's point of view, to be able to leave a legacy like this is

:14:14. > :14:16.a special occasion. From the curve of her hip to her nose and its tip,

:14:16. > :14:26.Northumberlandia mimics the understood lating landscape round

:14:26. > :14:26.

:14:26. > :14:31.her. -- undue lating. Her size has passed the ebgpition peck taition

:14:31. > :14:38.of the man brought in to design her, celebrated artist Charles Jencks.

:14:38. > :14:45.It is bigger than I thought. If you put anything in a big sky like this,

:14:45. > :14:49.it disappear, you have to make a really bold gesture. And accentuate,

:14:49. > :14:51.exaggerate the lips. We are attracted to the face. We had more

:14:51. > :14:57.neurons to identify other people than any other parts of our brain,

:14:57. > :15:01.and so it is the face which attracts you. So what do local

:15:01. > :15:05.people think of their new neighbour? I like it, but I think

:15:05. > :15:09.people who didn't know about it would wouldn't have any idea what

:15:09. > :15:15.it was, unless they knew about it. Because it looks like a lump of

:15:15. > :15:19.stones doesn't it I have heard you can see it from the air, that is a

:15:19. > :15:23.lady lying down with no clothes on. I can't think of anything good to

:15:23. > :15:28.say about it. It is like the angel of the north, something people will

:15:28. > :15:33.talk about and have a look. didn't like the Angel when it first

:15:33. > :15:37.went up and now it is part of the North East. The north's latest and

:15:37. > :15:41.biggest work of public art has perhaps done something to improve

:15:41. > :15:51.the image of opencast mining, and she'll will round for many

:15:51. > :15:53.

:15:53. > :15:56.generations to come. Four miles of path. It is amazing. Vic reeves,

:15:56. > :16:01.Bob Mortimer. Sarah Millican and Gavin Webster, we have stacks but

:16:01. > :16:05.they have just a few of the performers established names on the

:16:05. > :16:12.comedy circuit, but the search has started to find the next generation

:16:12. > :16:17.of would be comedian, scriptwriters and film make ergs, the BBC talent

:16:17. > :16:20.programme Jesting About 2 was launched last night. Last year Alex

:16:21. > :16:25.kelier was looking for his big break as an animator, 12 months

:16:25. > :16:30.later he has his first commission with BBC comedy thanks to getting a

:16:30. > :16:34.place on the first Jesting About programme This scheme gave me my

:16:34. > :16:37.first opportunity to make some animation professionally and wo

:16:37. > :16:42.work with production companies and get a taste of what it is like and

:16:42. > :16:46.get my work out there and seen on a platform such adds the BBC, which

:16:46. > :16:50.is incredible. Bridget is from Gateshead, another discovered

:16:50. > :16:59.writing talent who is now fingers cods on her way to the big time.

:16:59. > :17:03.What this scheme has done for me, I've got a sitcom options which we

:17:03. > :17:12.are looking to put to broadcasters and I have met a lot of comedy

:17:12. > :17:17.producers who are interested, and I got an agent. This scheme is the

:17:17. > :17:22.real deal for any would be comedian, film-maker or writer. The BBC is

:17:22. > :17:26.determined to build on the success of last year's programme, and is

:17:26. > :17:30.committed to finding more North East talent. They want to drill a

:17:30. > :17:36.bit deeper, we want the find more funny people, after all, Vic and

:17:36. > :17:39.Bob, Ross Noble. Sarah Millican, there are many more good and funny

:17:39. > :17:49.North East talents emerging from these parts and we are determined

:17:49. > :17:50.

:17:50. > :17:58.they should get on the BBC. Welcome to Jesting About 2. Anyone

:17:58. > :18:05.interested in applying has until November 2th to enter. And you can

:18:05. > :18:10.find out more information about how to enter at Jesting About. The

:18:10. > :18:15.closing date is November 2th. I have a -- we have a stack of talent.

:18:15. > :18:20.The first one was great. You enjoyed that. Now sport. Fashion in

:18:20. > :18:25.a moment, but rugby to start with. We are only a handful of games into

:18:25. > :18:28.the new season but this next match is a an important one for Newcastle

:18:28. > :18:32.Falcons. Win and there is hope, lose and they will face a huge

:18:32. > :18:39.battle from now until next May to keep top flight Rugby Union alive

:18:39. > :18:43.in our region. There is nothing like a big game to focus the mind.

:18:43. > :18:47.The Falcons against Worcester Warriors, bottom of the Premiership,

:18:47. > :18:51.against second bottom. Tomorrow night Newcastle will be on

:18:51. > :18:56.Worcester's heels or cast further adrift, facing a six month battle

:18:56. > :19:00.to stay in there with the by big boys. We want to be in this group,

:19:00. > :19:03.some of the big teams under strength have pulled away. We want

:19:03. > :19:09.to stay with this group, because I do believe we will get better as

:19:09. > :19:13.the season goes on, so it will be a nice bost to get the points and

:19:13. > :19:19.kick on from there We know what is at stake. Even though it is early

:19:19. > :19:24.in the season, we don't want it to get away on us, Friday night will

:19:24. > :19:28.be huge. The captain James Hudson is back after sus suspension, that

:19:28. > :19:32.and a cut price ticket deal has given the Falcons fresh hope for

:19:32. > :19:35.Friday, but it's the boot of Jimmy Gopperth which is playing an

:19:35. > :19:39.increasingly important role in the fight for survival. Much like Jonny

:19:39. > :19:44.Wilkinson in his Newcastle days and Rob Andrew before him. I suppose,

:19:44. > :19:48.in any team, a kicker has to do their job, and you know, it is part

:19:48. > :19:52.of the game I love doing, and, you know, on Friday night I have to

:19:52. > :19:58.make sure I do my skill right, and make sure we keep the score board

:19:58. > :20:02.ticking over, because at the end of the day it is about winning. He has

:20:02. > :20:06.the Golden Boot and he puts the points over. He wanted to develop

:20:06. > :20:11.the team. We want to be an attacking taxpayer. We have scored

:20:11. > :20:15.tries and played good rugby. We want to take that forward as well.

:20:15. > :20:18.We wanted to score tries and play attractive rugby. Now from the

:20:18. > :20:21.catwalk to the Theatre of Dreams, that is the unusual journey take

:20:21. > :20:27.then week by members of Sunderland football club's first team squad.

:20:27. > :20:31.They have been raidsing money for the community arm, the SAFC

:20:31. > :20:41.foundation in the run-up to an away match at Old Trafford, home of the

:20:41. > :20:51.

:20:51. > :20:58.Sporting celebrities teamed up with Sunderland footballers at the said

:20:58. > :21:03.yum of light for Fashion Strikes, to raise money for the SAFC

:21:03. > :21:08.Foundation. I might not be so easy to strut their stuff on Saturday.

:21:08. > :21:13.It is strange, I am starting to get ewe used to it more, I haven't been

:21:14. > :21:19.there for five year, but been there since a young boy and a fan, it is

:21:19. > :21:24.great to go back. All my friends will be in the United end, giving

:21:24. > :21:30.me stick, so I look forward to it. Hopefully we can get a decent

:21:30. > :21:34.result. The club's loan striker will hope to ooze confidence on the

:21:34. > :21:39.football pitch. We know they are going to create chances, so it is

:21:39. > :21:44.difficult. We have to be strong, we have to work together as a team and

:21:44. > :21:48.take our chances when we get them. It is difficult but thinking can

:21:49. > :21:55.happen. A more critical audience awaits on Saturday but for now

:21:55. > :21:58.fashion strike, not the Manchester United front line. And finally in

:21:58. > :22:02.sport it is not cricket weather but it will be by the time Durham's

:22:02. > :22:06.young star Ben Stokes plays again. The England one day international

:22:06. > :22:11.has had a third operation on the finger he broke last May. The club

:22:11. > :22:17.say he will be out for six months so he is unlikely to be fit for the

:22:17. > :22:24.start of the twouant 12 season. Trai is going to start a new career

:22:24. > :22:28.as a sales woman. Get your calendar. It is thanks to you. For the last

:22:28. > :22:33.year you have been out and about round our region, and each month a

:22:34. > :22:37.different judge or judges have chosen a winning picture to go into

:22:37. > :22:42.the calendar, sold in aid of Children In Need. To choose our

:22:42. > :22:46.final photos we thought we would visit a project which benefits from

:22:46. > :22:54.the proceeds. Hannah and Pudsey went to a youth club in one of the

:22:54. > :22:58.most remote spots in the region. Having a laugh with other children.

:22:59. > :23:04.Young people at this drop in club live high on the moors of Tees dale.

:23:04. > :23:10.Miles away from the nearest cinema, leisure centre or swimming pool.

:23:10. > :23:15.Last year, your support of Pudsey's favourite charity helped keep the

:23:15. > :23:19.centre going and provide transport to get here. It has meant that we

:23:19. > :23:23.can actually cater for children between the age of eight and 13,

:23:23. > :23:27.which is very important in a community like this. We take the

:23:27. > :23:33.children sailing, once a year, fishing trips, take them to the

:23:33. > :23:37.cinema, because the nearest one to here is about 15, 20 miles. I look

:23:37. > :23:42.coming here because there is a lot of stuff to do. You can make stuff

:23:42. > :23:46.and do different stuff every week. Because there's not much round here.

:23:46. > :23:53.This is a place where like an option to come to and it is cool.

:23:53. > :23:59.So, who better to choose some shots for next year's calendar? Do we

:23:59. > :24:04.like this one or not? I don't like it. Josh and Claire's October

:24:04. > :24:08.winner is Paul Dunstan, with this calming scene at Glenridding on

:24:08. > :24:13.Ullswater. It was a bit of everything, a bit of countryside, a

:24:13. > :24:19.bit of town, and a harbour and lake, so it is a bit of everything and it

:24:19. > :24:23.was good detail. For November, Harry and Latisha chose this shot

:24:23. > :24:28.of fireworks, exploding over Saltwell Park in Gateshead.

:24:28. > :24:34.November there is Bonfire Night. is the most important. It is like,

:24:34. > :24:40.I mean obviously fireworks on this one and that makes you think it is

:24:40. > :24:44.Bonfire Night. I like the way... And for our December page, Debbie

:24:44. > :24:47.and Holly go for Peter's snowy birds in Morpeth. We chose this

:24:47. > :24:54.bird one because we thought it was really good, where it's got

:24:54. > :24:58.movement, where they have took the photo of the bird. The BBC Look

:24:58. > :25:03.North calendar 2012 goes on sale tomorrow P So congratulations to

:25:03. > :25:08.all of the photographers who feature in that calendar, and here

:25:08. > :25:12.it S all of the profits as we said will go to the Children In Need

:25:12. > :25:16.appeal. Last year you raised �18,000, and to give you time to

:25:16. > :25:20.get a pen in tomorrow's night programme we will tell you how you

:25:20. > :25:24.can get your copy and a couple of extras for your family and friends.

:25:24. > :25:29.extras for your family and friends. Here you are Geoff. Let us start

:25:29. > :25:34.off with a picture autumnal one. Lovely this. Could be a candidate

:25:34. > :25:38.for next year. Thank you to Tim Brook. The wind hasn't quite blown

:25:38. > :25:42.off the leaves on the trees. I think we will look at rain. It will

:25:42. > :25:46.push up from the south, through Friday. So it looks like it could

:25:46. > :25:50.be wet for parts of the region. It has been wet this evening, we have

:25:50. > :25:54.a fair few showers, hanging round until about midnight. But after

:25:54. > :25:58.that it should be largely dry. We will see some dry spells and clear

:25:58. > :26:03.spells overnight. It will be dawn by the time the next batch works

:26:03. > :26:08.its way up into parts of North Yorkshire. With that cloud overhead

:26:08. > :26:11.temperatures shouldn't dip too far. Ten to 12 will feel mind again

:26:11. > :26:17.tonight. Into tomorrow and it is no surprise the see that rain getting

:26:18. > :26:21.its act together through the morning time. Further north as you

:26:21. > :26:25.get into Northumberland and Cumbria, you will be relatively dry. It will

:26:25. > :26:29.be a case of a few spits and spot, the odd shower and break away rogue

:26:29. > :26:33.element of rain, making its way further north and west. Top

:26:33. > :26:38.temperatures tomorrow, not on a par with today but good for this time

:26:38. > :26:41.of year. 13-14C and the wind starts to come round from the south-west.

:26:41. > :26:44.Just in time for the weekend. It looks like Saturday could be

:26:44. > :26:48.another wet one, especially for the south-east of our region, it will

:26:48. > :26:51.take its time to spread into the north and west on Saturday, by

:26:51. > :26:56.Sunday we have chased that rain away and it looks like a fine day,

:26:56. > :27:00.a bit of high pressure, a ridge coming in, settling things down

:27:00. > :27:03.nicely and in a good reversal of fortune we have most of the cloud

:27:04. > :27:09.in the south and the further north you go on Sunday, the drier,

:27:09. > :27:13.brighter and sunnier it will be. So here is a quick res may, tomorrow

:27:13. > :27:18.we will have rain in the North East to contend with but it looks

:27:18. > :27:21.largely dry for many parts of the yeecked. If there there is rain it

:27:21. > :27:26.will be up the coast. For Cumbria wet at times tomorrow but Saturday

:27:26. > :27:32.and Sunday both look good. Raise thank you very much. Just to remind
