:00:01. > :00:04.Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines:

:00:04. > :00:07.Inflation falls but wages in the North struggle to keep up with the

:00:07. > :00:11.cost of living. We've a special report.

:00:11. > :00:14.A new police service for non- emergency calls. Will it stop the

:00:14. > :00:19.time-wasters? A debt to the missing. North

:00:19. > :00:22.Yorkshire's cold case team seeks answers for families of the dead.

:00:22. > :00:26.And the mystery of the prehistoric fossil unearthed in a Wearside

:00:26. > :00:30.garden. In sport, more tributes for Jonny,

:00:30. > :00:33.as Wilko calls time on his international rugby career.

:00:33. > :00:43.And a race against time for the marathon runner trying desperately

:00:43. > :00:54.

:00:54. > :00:58.Today's drop in inflation has brought some good news in an

:00:58. > :01:01.important week for the economy. Three sets of figures are being

:01:01. > :01:05.published that should give us an idea of what sort of shape the

:01:05. > :01:10.region is in. As well as inflation, unemployment and shopping activity

:01:10. > :01:14.will also be revealed. Our business correspondent is at a shopping

:01:14. > :01:19.centre in Darlington to tell us more.

:01:19. > :01:23.That is right, today we saw inflation dropped from 5% to 4.8 %.

:01:23. > :01:27.We have seen those unemployment figures come out tomorrow and then

:01:27. > :01:31.on Thursday it is retail sales figures so we will be able to see

:01:31. > :01:35.whether people have been coming to places like this and spending money

:01:35. > :01:39.in November. But the hammock is not good. But even with the drop in

:01:39. > :01:45.inflation today, many of us are still facing tough times.

:01:46. > :01:49.If you want and in a sample -- at an example of inflation and its

:01:49. > :01:52.costs take a look at these use workers with a church charity in

:01:52. > :01:57.Darlington. They moved to within the 8th -- from the West Midlands

:01:57. > :02:02.four years ago. As a family, in that time we have had two children.

:02:02. > :02:09.We moved 200 miles and the cost of living has just gone up and up and

:02:09. > :02:15.up. I do like in bed at night sometimes, wondering about where

:02:15. > :02:22.can we save money? So how do they make ends meet? We are trying to

:02:22. > :02:26.keep a tighter track on our money. We do a budget list. Being

:02:26. > :02:33.Christmas, it is an expensive time of year. Arsenal also has his

:02:33. > :02:37.brother. This year we have shared the party. -- our son has his

:02:37. > :02:42.birthday. They are not alone. Right across the region, wages have not

:02:42. > :02:49.kept pace with inflation. In Cumbria, the median weekly wage is

:02:49. > :02:56.�438. A drop in the year of over 9%. In the North East the median wage

:02:56. > :03:02.is �450, a rise of 1.7 %, but still dwarfed by inflation. In mela and

:03:02. > :03:06.Martin's town, where the weekly wage is �429, it has dropped by

:03:06. > :03:13.nearly 6%. Only in a handful of places, such as Alnwick, where a

:03:13. > :03:17.weekly wages �505, has the yearly rise of over 7% top inflation.

:03:17. > :03:24.Today's fall in inflation, while Wellcome will not have much of an

:03:24. > :03:28.impact. It is the basics. This is what I find worrying. Things like

:03:28. > :03:34.spaghetti, pasta, a prize. They have gone up quite considerably in

:03:35. > :03:39.the past year and I have noticed I do the shopping and so from my

:03:39. > :03:44.perspective, I think, when I get to the chill, how much will this cost?

:03:44. > :03:49.There could be better news for Motty and Mel in 2012. The Bank of

:03:49. > :03:53.England says it reflects -- expects inflation to fall further as prices

:03:53. > :03:57.for and the VAT increase is no longer felt. The New Year cannot

:03:57. > :04:04.come soon enough. Someone who knows more than most

:04:04. > :04:07.how of cash-strapped we are is these columns and Citizens Advice

:04:07. > :04:12.Bureau worker. You see a lot of people where wages have been

:04:12. > :04:17.overtaken by inflation. Absolutely. Demands due our service are always

:04:17. > :04:22.high and we are seeing over 150 clients every month for money

:04:22. > :04:26.advice, debt advice. What sort of advice do you give them? We provide

:04:26. > :04:30.prices support for those clients suffering, not able to make

:04:30. > :04:34.priority payments and not able to make credit cards. Some really

:04:34. > :04:36.severe issues such as bailiffs calling at the door and county

:04:36. > :04:41.court representation for repossession. On the other side, we

:04:41. > :04:45.have seen an increase of clients who are not in debt yet but are on

:04:45. > :04:50.the brink of debt. Where do people go if they do not come to you for

:04:51. > :04:54.advice, what kind of places to get cash? There has been a rise

:04:54. > :04:59.certainly with clients coming in in the last few months of backstreet

:04:59. > :05:04.lenders, so a rise in payday loans, high-interest loans and high

:05:04. > :05:07.interest payments. And actually, even seeking advice on paying for

:05:07. > :05:12.their advice and paying for debt management when really they could

:05:12. > :05:16.have had the advice for free from the Citizens Advice Bureau. So on

:05:16. > :05:21.no account go to those backstreet lenders? Come to you? Absolutely

:05:21. > :05:26.not. They are compounding the problem. We can address the problem

:05:26. > :05:30.by seeking sustainable payments on their behalf. Thank you very much.

:05:30. > :05:39.Inflation today, unemployment tomorrow, and that surely will not

:05:39. > :05:44.be good news. For North Yorkshire Police have

:05:44. > :05:48.told the BBC there is a new leading the hunt for Claudia Lawrence. She

:05:48. > :05:52.was reported missing in 2009 when she did not turn up for work at the

:05:52. > :05:56.University of York, and has not been seen since. It is now exactly

:05:56. > :05:59.1000 days since she disappeared and detectives say a potentially

:05:59. > :06:04.crucially -- crucial new witness has come forward.

:06:04. > :06:08.The number of 999 calls to our police forces has doubled in the

:06:08. > :06:12.last ten years. As we have reported many times, a lot of those calls

:06:12. > :06:15.are not actually necessary. For years, the police have wanted an

:06:15. > :06:20.alternative number for non- emergency calls. Now they have got

:06:20. > :06:25.one. For the first time, across the whole region, 101 is the number to

:06:25. > :06:30.ring when it is not urgent. But will we use it?

:06:30. > :06:35.What has been stolen from the shed? Welcome to room 101. If your shed

:06:35. > :06:38.has been broken into or you are reporting anything that does not

:06:38. > :06:44.need an immediate emergency response, the police want you to

:06:44. > :06:48.call this, not minus nine. theory, it is very simple. All the

:06:48. > :06:53.calls, 101 and 999, our first taken in this room here. They are then

:06:53. > :06:57.prioritised to handlers in this room. The idea is that cases

:06:57. > :07:02.deserving a 999 reaction can be dealt with more quickly but the 101

:07:02. > :07:07.number is also meant for reporting antisocial behaviour, for example.

:07:07. > :07:12.So is having two numbers a recipe for confusion? Then maybe some grey

:07:12. > :07:17.areas but if in doubt, if you think it is an emergency, please do we

:07:17. > :07:22.999. But what I want is for -- 101 is for something like damage to a

:07:22. > :07:26.car or window, something that is not an emergency, or just a call

:07:26. > :07:30.for when you lead a police officer to come round and provide advice.

:07:30. > :07:36.lot of members of the public will bring 999 because they cannot

:07:36. > :07:43.remember the local number so 101 is easy to remember. If you are making

:07:43. > :07:46.a new report... Calling 101 will cost 15p and in our unscientific

:07:46. > :07:51.Office experiment, it took an average of nearly one minute to get

:07:52. > :07:56.through to a human, so will we, the public, by the idea? Those sort of

:07:56. > :08:04.things do not make a difference. is more memorable because everybody

:08:04. > :08:12.already knows 999. This new number will cost you 15p to call. That may

:08:12. > :08:17.be a problem. I do not know the number! One of one? The public told

:08:17. > :08:21.us they like to be able to contact us on 101. It is a number that is

:08:21. > :08:25.easy to remember. This is about being able to call your local

:08:25. > :08:29.neighbourhood police officer, which is what we want people to do.

:08:29. > :08:35.the end, whether these works is probably down to us. How sensible

:08:35. > :08:40.we are and how much we trust the police to take our calls seriously.

:08:40. > :08:46.A new plant which will help cut land fill in Cumbria by 80% is due

:08:46. > :08:48.to start operating next week. The plant at Hispin Wood in Carlisle he

:08:48. > :08:55.is one of two sites where household waste will be transformed into a

:08:55. > :09:01.tub of cream fuel. It is part of the �700 million investment by the

:09:01. > :09:05.council. It is not nice to look at and not

:09:05. > :09:08.good for the Environment when it is buried in the ground but this plant

:09:08. > :09:12.is one of two in Cumbria which is going to cut the amount of

:09:12. > :09:16.household waste put into landfill been the county by a whopping 80%.

:09:16. > :09:22.It turns the waist you cannot normally recycled into a fuel that

:09:22. > :09:25.is used instead of fossil fuels at places like cement works. It is the

:09:25. > :09:31.wonders of technological development. It is all based on

:09:31. > :09:34.common sense. It does work. It has been very successful on the

:09:34. > :09:38.Continent and here we see a major development in Cumbria which puts

:09:38. > :09:42.us right at the head of the pack in terms of environmental

:09:42. > :09:47.responsibility. I think Cumbria is the most beautiful place in the

:09:48. > :09:51.country and hopefully will be the greenest place, too.

:09:51. > :09:58.So this control room is as near to the waist as the employees ever

:09:58. > :10:03.have to get. And that is because all of the rubbish is dumped,

:10:03. > :10:06.shredded and cried mechanically through here. Rubbish will be

:10:06. > :10:12.processed at the Hispin Wood site from next week, three months ahead

:10:12. > :10:15.of schedule. It is part of a �700 million investment by the county

:10:15. > :10:25.council, which says the savings that will be made in the long-run

:10:25. > :10:27.

:10:27. > :10:30.both financially and in Dai Greene Police in North Yorkshire of going

:10:30. > :10:34.ahead with plans to try to identify eight people whose remains have

:10:35. > :10:38.been found across the county in the past three decades. Officers say

:10:38. > :10:43.they have a strong moral obligation to the families to discover the

:10:43. > :10:47.truth. Inquiries into the deaths, some suspicious and some probably

:10:47. > :10:57.accidental, remain active as part of an investigation by a cold Cases

:10:57. > :10:59.

:10:59. > :11:05.Review team based in York. Just right before the Bank, near

:11:05. > :11:10.the farm entrance. You'll find her in the bushes. That anonymous phone

:11:10. > :11:14.call on the 28 for all this 1981, brought North Yorkshire Police to

:11:14. > :11:17.these isolated spot close to his sudden bang. Here in the

:11:17. > :11:21.undergrowth they found the skeletal remains of a woman. She was naked,

:11:21. > :11:26.there was nothing to identify her. All that the pathologists could say

:11:26. > :11:30.was that she had possibly been here for as long as two years. The body

:11:30. > :11:37.remains unidentified but a wax reconstruction, the first of its

:11:37. > :11:45.kind, shows her to be about 35-40 years old, with short, dark hair.

:11:45. > :11:48.The true identity of that lady, and why she was there are still unknown.

:11:48. > :11:52.North Yorkshire's called cases unit is currently looking into the

:11:52. > :11:57.deaths of no fewer than eight unidentified people whose remains

:11:57. > :12:03.have been found across the county in the last 30 years, among them a

:12:03. > :12:08.body of a woman of Asian extraction found in 2004. A man with a police

:12:08. > :12:13.property back round in Scarborough harbour in 1989. A body with an old

:12:13. > :12:18.shilling in the pocket. The man could have died in the 1970s. And

:12:18. > :12:25.fake skull at Whitby which may have been that of a servicemen who died

:12:25. > :12:29.during the war. -- a skull. The police said they have an obligation

:12:29. > :12:35.to the families and the victims. have eight unidentified people.

:12:35. > :12:38.Each of those will have family members and we owe it to those

:12:38. > :12:46.committed as farmers, to identify who these people are, let them know

:12:46. > :12:50.where their relatives have been put to rest. Perhaps the saddest of all

:12:50. > :12:56.North Yorkshire's outstanding cases concerns the death of a baby boy.

:12:56. > :13:01.He is now buried in this unmarked grave at Norton cemetery. The

:13:01. > :13:09.child's body was found at Tidby -- local beauty spot on 30th April

:13:09. > :13:14.1999. It was wrapped in plastic bags and there was no obvious sign

:13:14. > :13:17.of injury. Clearly we have a mother and a father. I would ask if

:13:18. > :13:23.anybody knows who they are to come forward so we can provide them with

:13:23. > :13:28.support. You will be treated with care and dignity. The police say

:13:28. > :13:31.that developments in DNA analysis, forensics and information being

:13:31. > :13:41.collected by a new website, are making them optimistic that one day

:13:41. > :13:47.

:13:47. > :13:50.the mystery of North Yorkshire's court case unknowns will be solved.

:13:50. > :13:55.A pensioner in Sunderland has unearthed something rather

:13:55. > :14:00.interesting to say the least in his garden. He dug up a lot of rock and

:14:00. > :14:04.took it to his local museum where they identified it as a section of

:14:04. > :14:09.dinosaur backbone but the real mystery is how it came to be on

:14:09. > :14:17.Wearside when the underlying rocks are actually much older than the

:14:17. > :14:22.age of the dinosaurs. When dinosaurs walked the earth,

:14:23. > :14:27.they did not visit Sunderland, until now. A few weeks ago, a

:14:27. > :14:31.gentleman had been digging in his garden and came across this rather

:14:31. > :14:36.unusual rock and he recognised it as being something different, so he

:14:36. > :14:43.brought in to the museum and our geologists have looked at it and

:14:43. > :14:47.discovered it is a vertebra from the tale of a dinosaur. What is it

:14:47. > :14:50.doing here in Sunderland? That is the big mystery. We do not know how

:14:51. > :14:55.it got here. The theory is that somebody connected it from the

:14:55. > :15:00.south coast as a fossil and boarded as a garden ornament back to

:15:00. > :15:04.Sunderland. I think that is the most reasonable answer but we will

:15:04. > :15:10.never know. The rocks in this part of the world are too old for

:15:10. > :15:16.dinosaur remains to be found in them. So yes, very curious as to

:15:16. > :15:21.how a bone from a dinosaur arrived in Sunderland. There are baffling

:15:21. > :15:24.indeed. So if you have some amazing finds, maybe something that turns

:15:24. > :15:28.up in your Christmas stocking, bring it here to Sunderland Museum

:15:28. > :15:38.and they will be happy to put it on display. On second thoughts, better

:15:38. > :15:39.

:15:39. > :15:43.Time for sport. Perhaps we now know why Jonny Wilkinson was at Kingston

:15:43. > :15:47.Park the the night. We got a clue last night. He has been one of the

:15:47. > :15:52.world's most famous rugby players for nearly a decade. No surprise at

:15:52. > :15:55.the decision by Jonny Wilkinson to call time on his international

:15:55. > :15:59.career has prompted so many tributes. He blossomed on Tyneside

:15:59. > :16:04.so it is fitting his former club Newcastle Falcons will play his

:16:04. > :16:08.current side Toulon in France this weekend. A teenager Jonny Wilkinson

:16:08. > :16:14.scoring one of his first tries for the Falcons, even at 18 his focus

:16:14. > :16:17.and ambition was clear. I hope to gain a secure place in

:16:17. > :16:20.the Newcastle first team and eventually play for England for as

:16:20. > :16:23.long as possible. And he did just that, becoming

:16:23. > :16:28.England's all-time points scorer in an international career which

:16:28. > :16:32.spanned 13 years and 91 caps. He wasn't just a prodigious talent, he

:16:32. > :16:36.spent more hours on the training pitch than anyone. This is the

:16:36. > :16:38.ground where Jonny Wilkinson literally shed blood, sweat and

:16:38. > :16:43.tears in pursuit of this work -- perfection. His status as a

:16:43. > :16:48.sporting hero was insured on that unforgettable day on 22nd November,

:16:48. > :16:53.2003, when he scored the drop goal in the dying seconds of the final

:16:53. > :16:56.against Australia to win the World Cup for England. For a but the

:16:56. > :17:00.trade-off lifting rugby's greatest prize was an unprecedented string

:17:00. > :17:05.of injuries which almost ended his career and led to depression. He

:17:05. > :17:09.always came back fighting and those who knew him best are in no doubt

:17:09. > :17:13.where he ranks in rugby history. He was extraordinary. He wanted to

:17:13. > :17:19.be the best player that he could be, and he turned out to be certainly

:17:19. > :17:26.the best fly-half England have ever had. He is the full package. There

:17:26. > :17:30.are not many fly-halves can tackle like him, and you pray for guys

:17:30. > :17:33.that that. Perhaps they will be praying he will not be on the field

:17:33. > :17:37.when the Falcons prey too long this weekend.

:17:37. > :17:45.There has been a play embargo embargoed -- impose a Darlington

:17:45. > :17:47.Football Club. It means that the Quakers can't sign or register

:17:47. > :17:50.anyone. This follows claims from several players that they haven't

:17:50. > :17:53.been paid all the wages they're owed. Chairman Raj Singh has been

:17:53. > :17:55.in talks with the Professional Footballers' Association to try and

:17:55. > :17:57.resolve the issue. Meanwhile Newcastle United are hoping to

:17:58. > :18:01.complete the signing from French club Sochaux of striker Modibo

:18:01. > :18:05.Maiga, who's expected to play for Mali in the African Nations' Cup in

:18:05. > :18:10.the New Year. Three months ago she was at the height of her career and

:18:10. > :18:13.about to make a international debut for Team GB at the World Athletics

:18:13. > :18:18.Championships but after completing a marathon as in Dixon was

:18:18. > :18:28.diagnosed with a double fracture in her foot -- Alyson Dixon. She is

:18:28. > :18:35.

:18:35. > :18:38.trying to keep her Olympic dream For the past three months Alyson

:18:38. > :18:42.Dixon has spent every day running up and down this swimming pool.

:18:42. > :18:46.Others were must think she is crazy but it is all part of the marathon

:18:46. > :18:52.runners recovery from a broken foot and she is determined nothing will

:18:52. > :18:57.stop purchasing have Olympic dream. -- stop her chasing. I hope my body

:18:57. > :19:01.will hold up and I get the training as a need to run in the Olympics in

:19:01. > :19:05.my home country, it is that added incentive. You have got to go out

:19:05. > :19:08.there and put that extra bit. injury surfaced at the World

:19:08. > :19:13.Championships in Daegu where she pushed through the pain barrier to

:19:13. > :19:17.make it to the finish line. A scan later revealed she had run the

:19:17. > :19:20.marathon with a double fracture in her foot. I could have easily

:19:20. > :19:24.walked off the course at any point but I kept on telling myself,

:19:24. > :19:31.quitting is not an option, I haven't put in 20 years of hard

:19:31. > :19:35.work together and not finish. The time wasn't there and now there was

:19:35. > :19:40.the position but I would rather to see it completed them quit halfway

:19:40. > :19:45.round. The injury was a major setback, her partner Ian was there

:19:45. > :19:49.to help pick up the pieces. Standing on the line with everyone

:19:49. > :19:54.else, deserving to be on the line, then not be able to produce her

:19:54. > :19:57.best because of the foot injury was a big disappointment. She wasn't a

:19:57. > :20:04.young superstar that has always been on the scene, it has taken her

:20:04. > :20:14.a while to plug away and built her reputation. She is good at moving

:20:14. > :20:16.

:20:16. > :20:19.It is now a race against time for the Chester-le-Street run-up to be

:20:20. > :20:22.fit for the London Marathon in April. She has enlisted the help of

:20:22. > :20:26.sports scientist at Sunderland University who were using

:20:26. > :20:30.technology usually seen in computer games to analyse her injury. If she

:20:30. > :20:35.can run fast enough in the capital a place in the 2012 games alongside

:20:35. > :20:39.the likes of Paul Radcliffe could be hers, but it is a big if. --

:20:39. > :20:46.Paula Radcliffe. Just making the team itself will be a hard task. We

:20:46. > :20:51.have got it to nine goals capable of getting the 230 when you need

:20:51. > :20:57.for the qualifying standard. It will be a big chunk of my personal

:20:57. > :21:02.best. We believe I'm capable of it. What would it mean to you if she

:21:02. > :21:06.did manage to get that spot admitted to London 2012?

:21:06. > :21:15.To emotions, when would be really pleased for her, also a bit of

:21:15. > :21:18.relief -- two emotions, one would be police for her. Relief -- one

:21:18. > :21:23.would be pleased for her. You think you are in there with the chance

:21:23. > :21:28.when it has always been just a dream. A lot of people have, not

:21:28. > :21:38.after you, but they get a real job and do something else. To run in

:21:38. > :21:39.

:21:39. > :21:42.the Olympics in your home country Good luck. That physio session that

:21:42. > :21:44.painful. She got through it, she will be

:21:44. > :21:48.there. Time for the last Grundy's North in

:21:48. > :21:52.the series. John has been to the ancient borderland between England

:21:52. > :21:57.and Scotland. An area which in some parts have seen very little change

:21:57. > :22:07.in the last five years -- 500 years. Our intrepid explorer headed for

:22:07. > :22:07.

:22:08. > :22:11.Longtown and beyond in the north of This is the River Esk which is

:22:11. > :22:16.mainly a Scottish river bed for a while just north of here it becomes

:22:16. > :22:22.part of the border between Scotland and England. Here I am in England.

:22:22. > :22:29.Just. This surprisingly bouncy Victorine suspension which claims

:22:29. > :22:37.to be safe for six people. -- Victorian bridge. It leads to the

:22:37. > :22:40.splendid church built in 1776. I don't know what you imagine a

:22:40. > :22:45.border church should look like, but to meet this doesn't seem typical.

:22:46. > :22:50.It is refined, very civilised, and this whole area looks pretty and

:22:50. > :22:54.peaceful. And yet for hundreds of years it was one of the most

:22:54. > :22:58.violent places in the kingdom. The whole area was known as the

:22:58. > :23:00.debatable lands. Debatable because nobody could agree who they belong

:23:00. > :23:07.to and that is why the Graham's who lived here have to build themselves

:23:07. > :23:11.a tower, a mini castle instead of a normal house. They stretch east

:23:11. > :23:16.from here along the border and south towards Carlisle and Brampton.

:23:16. > :23:21.They form a sort of triangle which remains one of the least known and

:23:21. > :23:25.least visited part of England. It is beautiful country, and wild. It

:23:25. > :23:29.-- in places it has got a wildness that makes you think it hasn't

:23:30. > :23:34.changed for hundreds of years. Much of the North must have looked like

:23:35. > :23:41.this once, with scattered, inching trees, and the ground covered with

:23:41. > :23:45.rough, marshy grass. Even the cows look ancient, it rough and Perry as

:23:45. > :23:49.if they were bred to cope with his Welshness. -- rough and hairy.

:23:49. > :23:54.Where else can you see a herd of cows roaming freely on the

:23:54. > :23:58.mountainside. It is difficult not to imagine menacing invaders

:23:58. > :24:02.flitting amongst the street. All over this landscape there are

:24:02. > :24:06.castles and towers, not always obvious. He didn't necessarily want

:24:06. > :24:10.to advertise your presence too clearly the when there were

:24:10. > :24:15.invading armies around, and not always pretty, either. They were

:24:15. > :24:20.here because they were needed. Even houses built after the war fare

:24:20. > :24:24.indeed tend to look like castles. Stonecrop side hall was built in

:24:24. > :24:28.the 16 80s and it is definitely on the English side of the border but

:24:28. > :24:35.looks so much like a Scottish fortress. The most extraordinary of

:24:35. > :24:39.all of the buildings in the area is on the Scottish side of the border.

:24:39. > :24:46.Hermitage Castle. So confused was this area it was actually probably

:24:46. > :24:51.built by an Englishman who was married to a Scot. It is difficult

:24:51. > :24:55.to imagine any building that suggests the violence and the

:24:56. > :25:04.harshness of life in the debatable lands more than that. There is a

:25:04. > :25:07.story of a prisoner abandoned in a castle here, and he ate his own arm

:25:08. > :25:13.in desperation as the starve to death. I hope you're not still

:25:13. > :25:20.eating your tea. A wonderful place to remind ourselves of our

:25:20. > :25:28.debatable past. That was a big grizzly. A bit like

:25:28. > :25:33.On the whole, it is not pretty. Even the Cumbria and Hardy Herdwick

:25:33. > :25:39.sheep are taking cover behind the dry-ice couldn't -- dry-stone walls.

:25:39. > :25:42.60 mph wind, freezing temperatures, snow. We have been watching the

:25:42. > :25:46.cloud drifting down from the north- west, through the course of today.

:25:46. > :25:50.That is bringing frequent showers as we head into the evening. We

:25:50. > :25:53.will have a cold wind, freezing temperatures. It is the snow that

:25:53. > :25:59.the Met Office are warning primarily about for the coming

:25:59. > :26:04.night. More, especially, for the high ground. It is the high ground

:26:04. > :26:13.from Cumbria or Northumberland which bears the brunt. It will blow

:26:13. > :26:17.about in the wind. Very cold. Temperatures hovering just above

:26:17. > :26:22.freezing. A biting wind. Even if you don't get a covering of snow

:26:22. > :26:26.you could see some icy stretches to contend with tomorrow morning. A

:26:26. > :26:30.cold, windy day. Showers, few and far between as are many places

:26:30. > :26:39.drive. Decent price bus stop it will never feel warm. Even with a

:26:39. > :26:46.bit of sunshine for top -- decent break mass but it will never feel

:26:47. > :26:51.warm. -- brightness. That is the picture for tomorrow. A look of

:26:51. > :26:54.respite, positive news, has we head towards the tail-end of the week.

:26:54. > :26:59.This did area of low pressure comes into was the Atlantic, going

:26:59. > :27:04.further south. -- Keep area. We should get let off with the worst

:27:04. > :27:08.of the wins keeping to the south of us during the tail-end of the week.

:27:08. > :27:15.It will stay pretty cold. If you're out on Thursday and Friday, Deborah

:27:15. > :27:21.just stuck firmly in single figures. A few showers around. Certainly

:27:21. > :27:26.ever high-ground. A wintry feel for the rest of the week. Watch out for
