:00:03. > :00:06.Welcome to the start of a new week on Look North. In the headlines

:00:06. > :00:09.this Monday night. A service close to breakdown. Staff

:00:09. > :00:17.blow the whistle at North Cumbria hospitals.

:00:17. > :00:21.Remembering Gary Speed. Football mourns a Newcastle United legend.

:00:21. > :00:27.The common thing everybody said is nobody had ever heard a bad word

:00:27. > :00:30.about him, and that is true, you know. He was a great guy and a

:00:30. > :00:33.pleasure to have known. How will the day of action affect

:00:33. > :00:36.you? We talk to three women braced for strike day on Wednesday.

:00:36. > :00:41.But the Tyne Tunnels won't be closed. More good news for drivers

:00:41. > :00:43.who say the two tunnels have transformed Tyneside commuting.

:00:44. > :00:47.On Monday night's TeamTalk, the Magpies prove a point at Old

:00:47. > :00:57.Trafford. And Sunderland fans turn on the manager after a shock defeat

:00:57. > :01:06.

:01:06. > :01:08.A service close to breakdown. That's what staff say is the

:01:08. > :01:10.situation at North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust, which

:01:10. > :01:15.runs Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle and the West Cumberland

:01:15. > :01:21.Hospital in Whitehaven. Two weeks ago, the Chief Executive told Look

:01:21. > :01:25.North this was scaremongering. Today his trust is listed as one of

:01:25. > :01:27.19 in England with high mortality rates. Tonight's Inside Out

:01:27. > :01:35.programme reveals evidence. Including an unofficial log of

:01:35. > :01:38.incidents, which appears to support staff claims. And as Chris Jackson

:01:38. > :01:41.reports, they are warning if a new round of cuts goes ahead, things

:01:41. > :01:44.could get much worse. This log of incidents was kept by

:01:44. > :01:48.staff in A&E at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle for five

:01:48. > :01:53.months up to April this year. It makes shocking reading. Patient

:01:54. > :01:57.with suspected meningitis. Unmonitored in psych cubicle. Lady

:01:57. > :02:02.with PV bleed assessed in corridor and collapsed prior to being put on

:02:02. > :02:08.trolley. So, a patient with a potentially fatal infection may

:02:08. > :02:11.have been left unsupervised in a cubicle. And a woman with a PV

:02:11. > :02:16.bleed, that's a vaginal bleed, is assessed in a corridor. Afterwards

:02:16. > :02:23.she collapses. Staff tell us these were not isolated incidents. They

:02:24. > :02:28.fear being disciplined so actors speak their words. You haven't got

:02:28. > :02:32.enough nurses to cover everywhere. People are left in cubicles because

:02:32. > :02:35.we can't keep an eye on them. It is not what we are here to do. We

:02:35. > :02:38.don't want to look after people in bad health like that in the middle

:02:38. > :02:43.of a corridor. Even some of the consultants, who insist they

:02:43. > :02:46.provide high quality care, are warning about the situation. And if

:02:46. > :02:54.further cuts go ahead they can't guarantee there won't be serious

:02:54. > :02:59.implications. No, not at all, particularly in the A&E departments.

:02:59. > :03:04.We are quite short on consultants, compared to other comparative units,

:03:04. > :03:10.and at Whitehaven a indeed, they feel they are right on the edge of

:03:10. > :03:17.middle grade medical cover, never mind with further cuts. This sounds

:03:17. > :03:23.like a system close to breakdown. Yes, I can't deny that. To patients

:03:23. > :03:27.would be horrified to hear you say that. Well, yes. The trust is

:03:27. > :03:31.currently looking for good news stories to highlight, according to

:03:31. > :03:34.any male lead to Inside Out. Perhaps the focus needs to be on

:03:34. > :03:37.ensuring its financial crisis does not turn into a patient care

:03:37. > :03:40.disaster. Well, with me in the studio is the

:03:40. > :03:46.Inside Out presenter Chris Jackson. Chris, what does the Trust say

:03:46. > :03:48.about this log of incidents? That was kept by nurses in Carlisle's

:03:48. > :03:52.accident and emergency department because they were concerned that

:03:52. > :03:56.the official system may not have been locking the serious incidents.

:03:56. > :04:04.We put that to the chief executive and this is what he had to save.

:04:04. > :04:10.That is disturbing. From the information we have, that blog was

:04:10. > :04:15.kept before my arrival. I will need to investigate to see what happened

:04:15. > :04:18.in terms of addressing their concerns. Now, he also says they

:04:18. > :04:25.get increasing numbers of report on their official system, and says

:04:25. > :04:27.it's a good sign. And what about the consultant's warning? It's

:04:27. > :04:31.unusual for somebody in his position to be outspoken but

:04:31. > :04:35.perhaps that reflects the seriousness of his concerns. The

:04:35. > :04:41.trust is adamant it's a high performing trust, and is not close

:04:41. > :04:45.to breakdown. I think that is nonsense. I would not accept that.

:04:45. > :04:49.What we're doing is addressing inefficiencies, and bad

:04:49. > :04:54.productivity across the organisation and the consultant

:04:54. > :05:00.staff are aware of that. This is a good hospital which provide high

:05:00. > :05:05.quality care. We will continue to do that. We are not about to reduce

:05:05. > :05:10.the level of services which are provided to you. It's interesting.

:05:10. > :05:12.And has the Trust responded to its high mortality figures? This comes

:05:12. > :05:16.from the Dr Foster report which says they have identified higher

:05:16. > :05:19.than expected mortality rate in some conditions and the trust say

:05:19. > :05:23.they will review this with their consultant teams and the medical

:05:23. > :05:32.director. How interesting. Thanks, Chris. And you can see more on that

:05:32. > :05:36.story in Inside Out, tonight at 7.30pm here on BBC One. Alan

:05:36. > :05:42.Shearer has led the tributes to his former Newcastle United team-mate

:05:42. > :05:47.Gary Speed. He said he lit up every room he walked into and I am proud

:05:47. > :05:50.to have been his friend. The two reportedly watched the Magpies'

:05:50. > :05:53.match at Old Trafford together only the afternoon before. Keith

:05:53. > :05:57.Akehurst reports. Shirts, scarves and flowers left at

:05:57. > :06:00.the doors to the ground Gary Speed graced as a player. Fans in tears

:06:00. > :06:08.paying their respects to one of Newcastle United's best players of

:06:08. > :06:14.the last two decades. A fantastic captain and generally, it is such a

:06:14. > :06:23.shock. It still hasn't really sunk in, to be fair. He was an example

:06:23. > :06:27.to kids. An incredibly sad loss. absent legend -- absolute legend,

:06:27. > :06:30.you know. He will be clearly missed. And close to tears inside was one

:06:30. > :06:35.of his close friends. Goalkeeper Steve Harper had known Gary Speed

:06:36. > :06:40.for 13 years. I feel privileged to have known him for such a long time.

:06:40. > :06:46.A big part of my life. He was a great friend, the most professional

:06:46. > :06:49.football I ever had the privilege of meeting. The common thing

:06:49. > :06:56.everybody has said, nobody ever said a bad word about him, and

:06:56. > :07:00.that's true, you know. He was a great guy who it was a pleasure to

:07:00. > :07:05.have known. The first player I ever came across, signed autographs and

:07:05. > :07:08.everything else. He was the hero of mine. Gary Speed signed for

:07:08. > :07:11.Newcastle in 1998 playing 285 times for the Toon in the Premier League

:07:11. > :07:15.and Champions League. He scored 40 goals and was an integral part of

:07:15. > :07:25.the teams that played in two FA Cup finals. Alongside him in midfield

:07:25. > :07:25.

:07:25. > :07:28.was Nobby Solano. Really sad. Really, really sad. I could not

:07:28. > :07:33.believe it. Assistant manager at Newcastle was the current

:07:33. > :07:39.Hartlepool boss. A person that was always incredibly positive,

:07:39. > :07:43.incredibly dedicated, fantastic trainer but more than anything, a

:07:43. > :07:49.gentleman. One of the good guys of football. Close friend and ex-

:07:49. > :07:54.Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given played through tears yesterday.

:07:54. > :07:58.They were very, very close. He did very well to play the game

:07:58. > :08:06.yesterday but Gary would have wanted him to play because he was

:08:06. > :08:08.the ultimate professional. Gary Speed, who died yesterday. The

:08:08. > :08:12.government says RAF Boulmer's search and rescue operations will

:08:12. > :08:15.end in 2015. The service will become a civilian operation at a

:08:15. > :08:19.location yet to be decided. Ministers have already announced

:08:19. > :08:22.that the distinctive Sea King helicopters are to be retired. The

:08:22. > :08:30.radar operations at the base are not affected by today's news. But

:08:30. > :08:34.the local MP says the decision is premature. How they can decide

:08:35. > :08:39.before they know who the contract is, what sort of helicopter they

:08:39. > :08:44.are using, what the operational practice will be, how they know

:08:44. > :08:49.they can manage without RAF Boulmer, as decide to use, defies my

:08:49. > :08:52.thinking. The government has accepted they have got to go on the

:08:52. > :08:55.civilian group to get an economical service but at least let's get it

:08:55. > :08:58.right. A pensioner has been beaten with a

:08:58. > :09:01.hammer and robbed in a North Yorkshire village just minutes

:09:01. > :09:03.after using a cash machine. The 84- year-old woman was attacked in

:09:03. > :09:07.public toilets in Leyburn by another woman, who escaped with a

:09:07. > :09:10.large amount of cash. The suspect is described as white and in her

:09:10. > :09:15.forties. She has mid-length, brown hair and was wearing a burgundy-

:09:15. > :09:17.coloured winter coat. Newcastle Central Station is to

:09:17. > :09:21.undergo a major transformation. Network Rail has secured �8.6

:09:21. > :09:24.million from the Department of Transport. The money will be used

:09:24. > :09:27.to modernise the listed building with improvements to the waiting

:09:27. > :09:31.rooms, new lifts and escalators, and the replacement of glass in the

:09:31. > :09:34.roof. An area of Darlington was sealed

:09:34. > :09:38.off this morning after a cow escaped from the town's auction

:09:38. > :09:41.mart. Armed police were called to Victoria Embankment just after

:09:41. > :09:44.9:00am. The road was closed and police warned people to stay

:09:44. > :09:49.indoors as the animal ran down the street, charging into cars and

:09:49. > :09:52.bollards. It was eventually cornered and shot.

:09:52. > :09:57.Trade unions are claiming more than 2.5 million workers will strike on

:09:57. > :10:00.Wednesday, in a dispute over public sector pensions. It's been

:10:00. > :10:04.suggested women will bear the brunt of the strike, with their

:10:05. > :10:07.children's teachers off work. But the unions claim this will be a Day

:10:07. > :10:11.of Action dominated by women. Our Business Correspondent, Ian Reeve,

:10:11. > :10:17.has spoken to three women who will be affected by Wednesday's walk out.

:10:17. > :10:20.Diana Kaye has two flower shops. One on Teesside. One on Tyneside.

:10:20. > :10:23.Staff in both will have to take Wednesday off and look after

:10:23. > :10:31.children. And that will have an effect on Diana's business at the

:10:31. > :10:36.precise time she needs to be selling. This is our harvest now,

:10:36. > :10:39.the run-up to Christmas, so we have had a long, quiet October and

:10:39. > :10:44.November, and we need every penny we can get through the door this

:10:44. > :10:50.month, so we will have to hire transport companies to do the

:10:50. > :10:57.deliveries, so it gives us more people in the shop. Not everyone

:10:57. > :11:00.views the strikes has been wrong. Mel Stand, a worker for a

:11:00. > :11:03.Darlington churches charity, will have to take the day off to look

:11:03. > :11:06.after her two boys. But she still supports the gesture. We are living

:11:06. > :11:12.in very austere times and I think that the cuts that the government

:11:12. > :11:16.are imposing on people are wrong and I think people need to stand up

:11:16. > :11:22.because it's not just teachers, it cleaners, admin staff, ordinary

:11:22. > :11:25.people, who find themselves being squeezed. For its part, the

:11:25. > :11:32.government says public sector pensions are no longer sustainable.

:11:32. > :11:38.They cost about �33 billion a year. The upshot for Kath a teesside

:11:38. > :11:41.charity manager. And for many of us. A day of some inconvenience beckons.

:11:41. > :11:47.I am supportive of people who feel the need to take such drastic

:11:47. > :11:51.action. I just feel frustrated that that doesn't impact on my life, yet

:11:51. > :11:58.I'm being forced to react in a certain way but that the nation of

:11:58. > :12:01.the strike, maximum disruption. And tomorrow morning between 10 and

:12:01. > :12:04.11 on BBC Tees, Mike Parr will be putting Neil Foster from the

:12:04. > :12:07.Northern TUC on the spot to answer your questions. If you have

:12:07. > :12:11.something you would like to ask, please e-mail your questions to

:12:11. > :12:19.tees.studios@bbc.co.uk. Or call Mike on 01642 225211 after 9

:12:19. > :12:23.You're watching Look North. Still to come, all the controversy from

:12:23. > :12:30.the weekend's football in Team Talk with Dawn. Plus we get all steamed

:12:30. > :12:35.up with some rediscovered footage from the heyday of the railways.

:12:35. > :12:45.After the gales over the weekend, I would have a full weather forecast

:12:45. > :12:45.

:12:45. > :12:50.and it is forecast for more strong For the first time in decades,

:12:50. > :12:55.motorists have fallen in love with the Tyne Tunnel. One week on from

:12:55. > :13:00.the opening of both tunnels, there has been a rise in traffic of 12%,

:13:00. > :13:02.without any queues. Kinnock is have described the reduction in

:13:02. > :13:08.congestion as a massive transformation.

:13:08. > :13:13.-- commuters. Victoria has been doing the same thing for 17 years.

:13:13. > :13:19.Leave home, get in the car and spent 45 minutes to an hour waiting.

:13:19. > :13:22.It has got to have equated two days or weeks, the amount of years I

:13:22. > :13:27.have driven through here and the amount of time I have sat in

:13:27. > :13:32.traffic. But since both tunnels were opened last week, it has

:13:32. > :13:37.transformed her Canute. I have got an extra 20 minutes, half an hour

:13:37. > :13:45.in the house. It would have taken the 30 minutes, it has taken the 30

:13:45. > :13:52.seconds. While the new tunnel means less waiting around in station

:13:52. > :13:58.which traffic, it also means a saving on petrol. If you are

:13:58. > :14:03.waiting 20 minutes, it will save you �2 a week, just under �100 a

:14:03. > :14:09.year. That is just for your morning commute. Inside the control room,

:14:09. > :14:16.they have seen a rise in vehicles passing through a 5000. We are

:14:16. > :14:20.talking about savings in an hour. One person calculated he would save

:14:21. > :14:28.four 1/2 days in a year. He was going to donate that time to

:14:28. > :14:32.charity. BBC Look North's traffic and travel presenter also noticed a

:14:32. > :14:40.huge difference. Last week, people were singing to beat when they were

:14:40. > :14:43.drinking. One man called to say he was upset because he now leads --

:14:43. > :14:49.now needs to leave for two minutes later, said he has the school run

:14:49. > :14:54.to deal with. But arriving at work on time today, Victoria says there

:14:54. > :14:59.is one disadvantage. I can never use being stuck as an excuse for

:14:59. > :15:04.being late anymore! The rest is wonderful. It would have been the

:15:04. > :15:08.reason for many before the second tunnel was built. This was the

:15:08. > :15:15.fourth worst traffic blackspot in the UK. Now, it looks like a Sunday

:15:15. > :15:21.morning. The operators have confirmed that

:15:21. > :15:26.both tunnels will be open on Wednesday.

:15:26. > :15:30.Good news for Cumbria, World Cup rugby is coming to west Cumbria.

:15:30. > :15:35.Whitehaven will be one of the venues for the 2013 Rugby League

:15:35. > :15:39.World Cup. The new stadium will host group matches and West Cumbria

:15:39. > :15:44.will be the base for one of the national teams. The news has been

:15:44. > :15:49.welcomed, because it is expected to boost the local economy.

:15:49. > :15:54.It is the support of West Cumbria. Today, it was announced that the

:15:54. > :15:58.Rugby League World Cup will be coming to Whitehaven in 2013. To

:15:58. > :16:01.mark the announcement, a World Cup themed mini tournament was held for

:16:01. > :16:05.local schoolchildren. An international team will be based

:16:06. > :16:12.here for the World Cup. But is not known whether it is one of the

:16:12. > :16:16.sides represented here today. This is where all of the action will

:16:16. > :16:21.happen. The Pow Beck Stadium is correctly a football ground, a

:16:21. > :16:26.stone's throw from White Haven's existing home. Work to turn it into

:16:26. > :16:32.a world-class venue will start in the spring. It justifies the new

:16:32. > :16:38.stadium. A whole new wave of enthusiasm, bigger crowds leading

:16:38. > :16:46.up to the World Cup, and if any young players come through the

:16:46. > :16:51.system, maybe there will be a West Cumbrian player plained. -- playing.

:16:51. > :16:56.The celebrations were also in honour of the expected boost to the

:16:56. > :17:03.economy. It is fantastic, bringing additional visitors in, to visit

:17:03. > :17:07.our bars, cafes, restaurants. They will fill up our bed-and-breakfasts,

:17:07. > :17:11.hotels, so they will spend time and money here. All of which

:17:11. > :17:17.contributes to the local economy. The World Cup games will be played

:17:17. > :17:21.at 18 locations across England, Wales, Ireland and France, but the

:17:21. > :17:31.new �5 million stadium will offer these younger players the chance to

:17:31. > :17:36.

:17:36. > :17:40.glimpse some of their sporting A sombre start this week, following

:17:40. > :17:43.the death of former Newcastle midfielder Gary Speed, which

:17:44. > :17:48.recovered earlier. We both had the pleasure of interviewing him during

:17:48. > :17:52.his time at St James's Park, and he was just a nice guy.

:17:52. > :17:56.Yes, the reason everybody is so shocked is that because he came

:17:56. > :18:02.across as such a level-headed, easy-going, down-to-earth guy, a

:18:02. > :18:09.lovely chap, nobody had a bad word to say about him. He was on the BBC

:18:09. > :18:11.on Saturday, and just and was later, he was dead. He was so young. It

:18:11. > :18:17.has had a profound effect on everyone.

:18:17. > :18:21.He never refused an interview, he was always so polite. The North

:18:21. > :18:25.East Writers' Association cancelled their dinner last night as a mark

:18:25. > :18:29.of respect. Sadly missed. His old club were in action at Old

:18:29. > :18:31.Trafford at the weekend, and they put on a good show. They got a

:18:31. > :18:36.point, not many people thought they would.

:18:36. > :18:40.The fans were quite confident. After being beaten by Manchester

:18:40. > :18:44.City, they wanted to prove the point. There is loads of self-

:18:44. > :18:49.belief in the side. But was an end to end game. These

:18:49. > :18:52.three games, they could come out with four points. The more they

:18:52. > :18:55.keep this going, you think they could be up there.

:18:55. > :19:05.They are playing for each other, they are putting their bodies on

:19:05. > :19:06.

:19:06. > :19:13.the line. Many fans have predicted the last two results.

:19:13. > :19:17.Happy to take his penalty! Manchester United have had their

:19:17. > :19:21.fair share of good luck, so it is time for Newcastle to get some.

:19:21. > :19:26.It is rare for that penalty to be given against Manchester United at

:19:26. > :19:30.Old Trafford. They managed to hang on. That says

:19:30. > :19:34.something about how much they believe in themselves.

:19:34. > :19:41.A fantastic clearance from Danny Simpson at the end. Alan Pardew was

:19:41. > :19:45.more than happy with the point. Obviously, you could tell by the

:19:45. > :19:52.reactions, it was not a penalty. A bit of fortune for us, but we

:19:52. > :19:56.deserved that after last week. The referee today for us, I did not

:19:56. > :20:02.think he was brilliant, but we got a penalty that went our way. That

:20:02. > :20:06.even things up, I guess. A new columnist in the match-day

:20:06. > :20:13.programme for Sunderland, Ellis Short, who said, while we are not

:20:13. > :20:17.happy with where we are, at the moment...

:20:17. > :20:23.Not quite yet! May be after this game, losing to

:20:23. > :20:28.Wigan. Steve Bruce had said, 80% of Premier League games are won by the

:20:28. > :20:33.team that wins -- that scores first. They have got goals but they have

:20:33. > :20:38.not hung on to the bid. It happened again.

:20:38. > :20:42.The Wigan goalkeeper started pulling off some great saves.

:20:42. > :20:48.If you do not take chances like that, that is what you are going to

:20:48. > :20:54.get it. It keeps happening. Another dodgy penalty. The

:20:54. > :21:00.equaliser goes in, and it is celebrated by the Wigan fans... 310

:21:00. > :21:06.of them! They have something more to celebrate in the 93rd minute.

:21:06. > :21:10.You cannot blame the manager for this. This is Wes Brown's fault. He

:21:10. > :21:15.should not have done that in that part of the pitch.

:21:15. > :21:21.Try to keep the ball alive because it was injury time. That is what

:21:21. > :21:25.happens. Sunderland devastated. The fans going wild, Steve Bruce taking

:21:25. > :21:30.flak. It is not easy, when you are --

:21:30. > :21:33.when your family are here and you are abused, but I am big enough to

:21:33. > :21:37.try and take it. You said in the programme notes you should be

:21:37. > :21:43.judged at the end of the season. Do you think you will get that long?

:21:43. > :21:48.hope so. I cannot judge that. I will not be beaten with it. If

:21:48. > :21:52.others see fit to make a change, so be it.

:21:52. > :21:56.What a big game for Sunderland at Wolverhampton on Sunday. We are

:21:56. > :21:59.expecting to still be in charge. More frustration for Middlesbrough,

:21:59. > :22:03.another game where they have taken the lead and could not been able to

:22:03. > :22:08.see it out. Eight draws from 18 games, the most

:22:08. > :22:12.in the Championship. They would have been joint third with Cardiff,

:22:12. > :22:18.three points behind West Ham. They are at the Riverside tomorrow.

:22:18. > :22:23.Matthew Bates put them in front. A terrific equaliser from Paul Taylor.

:22:23. > :22:30.Indeed one, what a miserable afternoon in Cumbria. -- in League

:22:30. > :22:35.One. This was Paul Thirlwell's first of the season. Six home

:22:35. > :22:41.defeats in a row for Hartlepool. They did everything but score. They

:22:41. > :22:44.were beaten by Doval. They started alongside Chesterfield at the

:22:44. > :22:50.bottom of the table. They have another chance tomorrow, Preston

:22:50. > :22:57.are the visitors. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

:22:57. > :23:01.Talking of losing streaks, Newcastle Falcons.

:23:01. > :23:04.They are in deep trouble after losing it to Harlequins in the

:23:04. > :23:09.Premiership yesterday. James Fitzpatrick scored their only try,

:23:09. > :23:17.but Newcastle went down to 30 men in the second half after two

:23:17. > :23:21.players were sin-binned -- 13 men. Harlequins scored six tries.

:23:21. > :23:24.Newcastle are nine points adrift at the bottom of the lead after was to

:23:24. > :23:29.beat Bath. It will take some fight back to get out of this relegation

:23:29. > :23:33.battle. It is a long winter ahead.

:23:33. > :23:37.Previously unseen film footage has offered a glimpse into a forgotten

:23:37. > :23:40.world of train travel in Cumbria. The film was found during a house

:23:40. > :23:44.clearance, and it reveals trains travelling through the Lake

:23:44. > :23:53.District. Footage has now been edited

:23:53. > :23:57.together for a feature-length film. This new DVD conjures a world shot

:23:58. > :24:02.in amateur cine film. The grainy texture only increases the sense of

:24:02. > :24:07.nostalgia as the landscapes of many years ago whistle by. For the man

:24:07. > :24:12.who put this together, it was a real discovery. We have included

:24:12. > :24:17.many lines. It has hardly been seen by anybody before. It is the

:24:17. > :24:21.greatest collection of railway archive of the closed lines that

:24:21. > :24:28.has ever been put together. These films bring back to life a whole

:24:28. > :24:37.lost world. This is the old Bassenthwaite Lake train station.

:24:37. > :24:47.There in the wall, and all ticket office. -- bought a ticket office.

:24:47. > :24:50.

:24:50. > :25:00.In the background now, the sounds Those were the days!

:25:00. > :25:02.

:25:02. > :25:07.Gale force wind across the region for the weekend, and more strong

:25:07. > :25:11.wind in the forecast. The wind will blow in some heavy spells of rain.

:25:11. > :25:16.It will be wet with strong winds through Tuesday. For this evening

:25:16. > :25:23.and overnight, it is dry in the east, but in the West. The rain

:25:23. > :25:33.moves across north Northumberland. It is very windy. Again, the wind

:25:33. > :25:33.

:25:33. > :25:41.picks up in speed. A windy night. Rain further north and west. It is

:25:41. > :25:46.mild again, though. No frost, but it gets colder later in the week.

:25:46. > :25:51.It is wet tomorrow in the West. The vain bids across North Yorkshire

:25:51. > :25:58.and the north-east of England. A miserable end to Tuesday. It is

:25:58. > :26:06.mild in front of the rain band. It is colder, though, once the rain

:26:06. > :26:14.has cleared. We will notice the strong wind. All of the rainfall is

:26:14. > :26:19.heavy at times over the Cumbrian fells and lakes. A wet and windy

:26:19. > :26:23.end to Tuesday. Over the next couple of days, things get colder.

:26:23. > :26:29.After the rain has cleared, Wednesday and Thursday, look at the

:26:29. > :26:34.temperatures drop. It has been very mild so far this autumn. As

:26:34. > :26:41.December begins, the temperatures stop to fall back to their average.

:26:41. > :26:47.-- start to fall back. Overnight, we could easily expect a touch of

:26:47. > :26:52.frost. As the rainfall continues tomorrow evening, it could turn to

:26:52. > :26:57.snow over the tops of the hills. We are not expecting snow on lower

:26:57. > :27:05.levels, no bin for the towns and cities. -- nothing for the towns

:27:05. > :27:12.and cities. But we could see picture postcard snow for the high

:27:12. > :27:18.altitude places. One or two showers in the West on Thursday, but a fine

:27:18. > :27:28.day. Friday looks gorgeous if you are wrapped up warm. Everybody's

:27:28. > :27:30.
