Hello and welcome to Look North. The police force at the centre of | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
eight separate investigations into the conduct of officers. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
New hope for the little girl born with an eye disease that could | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
blind her. A spending frenzy or freeze? We are | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
with the seasonal shoppers in the countdown to Christmas. | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
The Olympic ding-dong, why ringing church bells to kick-off 2012 has | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
struck the wrong note. And why life on the Wearside is | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
under the spotlight on the Paris stage. A new world record has been | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
set in the region. And we meet the final sports kid of the year, a | :00:43. | :00:53. | |

The First tonight, it's emerged that a police force at the centre | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
of a corruption inquiry is now the subject of eight separate | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
investigations into the conduct of its officers. Six of the eight | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
inquires are being managed by the Independent Police Complaints | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Commission. It's examining claims that officers perverted the course | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
of justice, misused public funds and were guilty of misconduct. The | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Police Federation says the Cleveland force is now under | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
unprecedented attack. Stuart Whincup has this exclusive report. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
The fight against crime goes on. The force says front line policing | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
has not been affected by the controversy and criticism. But the | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Police Federation says the many investigations are proving a | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
distraction to officers. The amount of attacks on the police, I have | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
never seen or knowing the likes of it might policing career. The | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
officers I represent do the best they can. They are trying to | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
deliver the best service they can and they are being distracted by | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
what has happened around them which they have no control of. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
corruption allegations which saw the arrest of Chief Constable Sean | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Price and his deputy Derek Bonnard has led to criminal and misconduct | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
inquires. Among the other six investigations there's claims | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
officers perverted the course of justice. One is focusing on the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
conduct of a former scenes of crime officer. And inquires are | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
continuing after a current and former police officer were arrested | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
as part of an investigation into the misuse of public funds. It is | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
concerning because the investigation has been going on for | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
a long time. It is divided into eight investigations. For a small | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
police force, it is an awful lot of pressure and will distract officers | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
from the job they are supposed to be doing, protecting and serving | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
the people. Cleveland Police has always said | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
the various investigations centre on a small number of its 2,000 or | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
so staff and have had little impact on day to day policing. The force | :02:58. | :03:08. | |

has so far not commented on these She was born with an eye disease | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
that will probably blind her but now a mammoth fundraising effort by | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
her parents could lead to a breakthrough. Four-year-old Ella | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Chapple suffers from a genetic condition called aniridia and has | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
very little sight. But now the family has raised thousands of | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
pounds - cash that's allowed doctors in London to start new | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
research to help children like Ella. Peter Harris reports. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
For Ella, life has been a struggle at every turn. Cancer and breathing | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
problems have been conquered, now the battle is to save her sight. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
She suffers from aniridia, which is a rare genetic eye condition. But | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
her parents fundraising means there is hope. They raised �67,000 - | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
enough to part fund a research project in London. Because they are | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
young enough and children coming through, it means they have a real | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
chance of preserving their vision and making sure she has the best | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
quality of life and she can see as well as she can for as long as | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
possible. Ella attends Newcastle's Northern Counties School. Her mum | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
was 36 weeks pregnant before a scan picked up a problem. The family | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
threw themselves into helping doctors tackle the eye condition at | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
:04:29. | :04:32. | ||
Moorfields Hospital in London. She is coming on leap and bans and | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
it's hoped the new project in London will help her and many other | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
children as well. And hopefully start a process towards finding a | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
cure. We are hoping we will alleviate the problems associated | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
with it so patients can experience a much fuller life for a longer | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
period of time with improved vision. By doing the research now, | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
hopefully it will help her and we are sure it will help other | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
children who have the disorder and from an early age so they will have | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
a much better vision. Aniridia patients often lose their sight | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
:05:20. | :05:26. | ||
completely. Thanks to Ella's family, It's the final countdown to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Christmas in our stores and shopping centres at the end of a | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
year full of cuts, job losses and general gloom. For retailers of | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
course, Christmas is a vital time - some of them make 30% of their | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
profits in December alone. But has it been a festive shopping frenzy | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
or has the spending spree fizzled out? Gerry Jackson is live at | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
Gateshead's Metrocentre, where it's late night shopping of course. | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
Yes, but how much will the shoppers spend, is this still the cathedral | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
to consumerism or is it getting more of the downturn Abbey? You | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
might think what is there to worry about, has it been exaggerated, the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
downturn or was it never as bad as we were led to believe? Or are we | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
determined to have a good Christmas come what may. We have three | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
reports from the region. Mark McAlindon has been gauging demand | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
in Penrith, Richard Thomas has been in Darlington, but first, from here | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
:06:37. | :06:38. | ||
It opened its doors 25 years ago yet this could be the toughest | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Christmas in its history for MetroCentre customers. We are aware | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
of the Christmas countdown, five days to go but also we are counting | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
the cost of Christmas in a recession-hit Britain. I will | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
reduce my spending by 50%. I have been cutting my hours at work. I am | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
thinking more of things closer to family, spending more time with | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
family rather than buy expensive presents. We are spending less this | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
year definitely. We are looking for bargains. We are birthday shopping | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
today. We are spending birthday many as well as Christmas money. | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
Cutting back, definitely. There is too much. You get plenty anyway. We | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
come to see the decorations. tightening our belts but Christmas | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
is not cancelled. Darlington, a typical market town. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Plenty of festive signs around but our shoppers in the spending | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
spirit? I am trying to keep everything to minimum but by things | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
everybody in my limits. She is buying a present for her boyfriend. | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
Spending more than I do! She has decided she needs to get their | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
Christmas shopping. You came to Darlington from London? Yes. There | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
are some lovely shops here. There are so few shopping days left, you | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
expect the streets to be heaving but they're not. Our survey shows | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
finding a parking space was a Buteby easy and of the shops we | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
have been in, very few queues. Shoppers are watching what they | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
spend, traders are feeling the effects. I think shoppers are being | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
more savvy. They are shopping earlier so in general we have | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
noticed there's been a trend of steady progress rather than a mad | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
last-minute rush which happened last year. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Penrith is a traditional town at the heart -- heart of the valley. | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Small shops survive here but like any where trading has been tough. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Business owners know to keep people coming back, they need to do some | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
things better than anyone else. firmly believe customers are loyal. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
They will come back time and time again. That is one of the things | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
small businesses have a big advantage over the big boys, I am | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
not sure if everyone will take it. A few days until Christmas and it | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
seems to have been a mixed picture for local traders. Some say they | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
have been busy while others say foot fault is down. Penrith is | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
still full of little shops which are doing OK. But what happens in | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
the next year or two is the key to the future of Penrith. We have to | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
have eight or 10 weeks of good trades to see you through the rest | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
of the time. So, traders in Penrith hope that Hill's will keep ringing | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
for the next few days. David is chairman of the retailers | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Association here. I know there are not hard and fast figures but you | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
must have a feel, how does it feel compared to last year? Firstly, we | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
do not have snow this year so it is better. It has been a challenging | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
year. The food for his holding up. It is looking good. What about the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
notion of the people are here but have less to spend? Customers are | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
looking for a good deal and an incentive to shop. Retailers are | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
offering that. Retailers can offer a deal and also make a decent | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
margin and they will do well. Those that are not will suffer. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Competition from the internet is strong. Are you feeling it? | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
definitely increases but the people in the north-east a resilient. They | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
love shopping here and when they shop on the internet as well, it is | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
holding up. What about this idea you will put a positive gloss on | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
things and by January we may have a December party but a January | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
hangover. I can only speak for the north-east in terms of the | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
MetroCentre. The MetroCentre is holding up. Nationally it may be | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
different but the people of the north-east will have Christmas, | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
they are resilient and they will shop and have a good Christmas. | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
They want a good deal. Thank you very much. We will have the figures | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
for you early in January as to what happened here. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
He is off to do his shopping now! Now come the opening of the Olympic | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
games on the 27th of July next year - there's a plan for all the bells | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
in the country to ring out at 8 o'clock in the morning. That's | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
doorbells, bicycle bells, hand bells - you name it. But the idea | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
is already causing a bit of a ding dong! Because the nation's church | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
bell ringers have pulled out of the celebration. Our reporter Nicki | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Hornby has been finding out why. There's nothing more atmospheric | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
than the peal of church bells on a crisp winter evening. These bell | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
ringers belong to the Christ Church Tower in North Shields. They want | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
to be part of the Olympic celebrations but say what the | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
artist wants for them to ring the bells at eight in the morning - | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
won't be easy. 80 clock in the morning is not convenient for | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
people living nearby and the bell ringers and volunteers do not get | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
paid and they might not get time off work. They might be on holiday | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
or have children to look after. It's a difficult time to assemble a | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
large number of people. The man behind the idea once the bells to | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
be run as fast as possible but that's another stumbling block. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Ringing in this country is not done fast. It does not do rebels any | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
good. Above your head now, you have three 1/2 tons of bells. The bell | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
here is three-quarters of a ton. So, there is a risk of damaging the | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
bells and damaging fittings and also a risk to the bell ringers. | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
Then began the great march past. was 1948 when Great Britain last | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
hosted the Olympic games and festival organisers says this is a | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
once in a lifetime opportunity. hope churches that have any | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
concerns will contact us and we can work through any issues they have | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
and make sure they can all join in the fund. It will be great fun. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
bell-ringers say the artist should have talked to them before coming | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
up with this idea. If you talk to the bell ringers, we | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
can find opportunities to ring in a more significant way for longer | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
periods when people are more likely to hear it and in ways which are | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
more musical. We're in the season of goodwill and bell ringing right | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
:13:57. | :14:00. | ||
now. Hopefully, harmony can be That is a shame, because you will | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
be missed, not taking part. Still to come this Tuesday evening: | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
We meet the French writer whose play about life on Wearside has | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
gone down a storm in Paris. Ever since the Cumbria floods of | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
2005 and 2009, work has been continuing to protect homes in the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
worst hit areas. In Keswick the building of flood defences started | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
in May of this year and today a unique feature was added. Alison | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
:14:31. | :14:33. | ||
Freeman went to find out more. It was a frightening scene for | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
householders in November 2009. It was a major flashpoint for the | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
flooding of homes and businesses, but today saw a milestone in the | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
development for the �6 million flood development scheme. A series | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
of windows put into the wall which aims to keep the river at bay. | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
These new glass panels have two purposes: First, to protect homes | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
from water coming from the river, and the second, to ensure the the | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
EU of the romance -- the river remains protected. In this location, | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
it is about choosing defences that are appropriate. It is one of the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
main routes -- routes into Keswick so the flood defences have to be | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
high. We are confident this scheme will be able to protect against | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
floods that we expense in 2005 and 2009. The Environment Agency says | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the defences will protect 180 homes by the time they are finished next | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
summer. People are anxious. We have an event a couple of weeks ago | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
which made people nervous, but they can now see something concrete, but | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
in my case it is and, but that something is moving forward. We | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
only have another few months ago. By next winter, we will be | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
hopefully cosy behind these new defences. This is the first time | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
transparent panels have been used in flood defences in Cumbria and | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
today, locals said they were thrilled with the design. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
He's a Frenchman who studied at Durham University and worked for a | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
time at the Nissan plant on Wearside. And it was his time here | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
in the North that inspired him to write a play set around the life of | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
a family in Sunderland. Well that play is now wowing audiences and | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
theatre critics in Paris, where its run has been extended by three | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
months. In the first of two Look North reports, Adele Robinson's | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
been to the French capital, to meet writer Clement Koche and find out | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
:16:44. | :16:59. | ||
The City of Light. The city of love, not a setting you would expect for | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
a setting -- a play about Sunderland. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
And it is here at this theatre that the red and white stripes are being | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
celebrated and depicted in a plate described as a cross between the | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
:17:24. | :17:25. | ||
Full Monty, a brass of and local And behind this colourful play, | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
this is the man: Clement Koche. He studied at Durham University back | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
in 1989 and worked at Nissan in Sunderland, inspiration for his | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
:17:46. | :17:50. | ||
work. People smell food, the atmosphere, every single thing was | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
different. And from these memories, he began the story of Sally who | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
loses her job in a chicken factory -- chicken factory. To support her | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
autistic sister, she takes another job. But she is supported by her | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
:18:20. | :18:26. | ||
larger and her friend, the All in all, beams of loose morals, | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
beer and something poignant. Will people in Sunderland see it as a | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
stereotype? It is a story, not a postcard of northern England. If | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
people came to see the play to see how they live, it is not necessary | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
to come. It is a story which could take place in other parts of the | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
world, but I used to the north of England and the aspects of life | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
there to pick football, the girls, the clothes, and my love for | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
English social stories. But for the Parisian the viewer, the trip to | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Sunderland has been described as uplifting in a depressing sort of | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
way, a caricature of a northern perhaps, but one that is receiving | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:56. | ||
rave reviews. It is going down a Soak in slice of Wearside here in | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
this most romantic of settings. It is being hailed as a breath of | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
fresh air on the Parisian it is seen. More than 50,000 people will | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
have been to see the play by the time its run in the capital comes | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
:20:21. | :20:23. | ||
to an end. What a lovely piece! Sunderland in | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
:20:33. | :20:35. | ||
The Games are coming thick and fast for new Sunderland boss Martin | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
O'Neill. Tomorrow, he takes his team to Queen's Park Rangers. And | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
he's relying on the club's high- profile loan striker to start | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
scoring the goals which would help drag them away from the Premier | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
League's danger zone. Here's Keith Akehurst. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Two goals in 11 games is way short of what the Wearsiders were hoping | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
for, when they took Nicklas Bendtner off Arsenal's hands for | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
the season. And after missing their recent win over Blackburn, and | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
falling foul of the law, the Danish international found himself on the | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
bench at Tottenham, two days ago. But with Connor Wickham likely to | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
miss tomorrow's match after aggravating a knee injury, Bendtner | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
is needed now, more than ever. Sometimes I think that players | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
coming on loan need a bit of time to settle down, particularly if | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
they think that it is not their club. That is the message we are | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
trying to get across to him, here, this is it will be season. I think | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
he wants to play despite the fact the potential shenanigans from | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
before. It is really up to him. But then again, I would say this to all | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
the players, it is up to him. You have a cause and it is worth | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
fighting for. News now of a world record that's | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
been broken in the region, within the last hour. The incredible | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Sharon Gayter, an ultra-distance runner from Guisborough in North | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Yorkshire, has beaten the all-time record for non-stop running on a | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
treadmill. She's been pounding away at Teesside University since last | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
week, and she's passed the previous best of 753 kilometres, which is | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
:22:20. | :22:21. | ||
more than 470 miles. Well done to Sharon. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
Time to meet our final Sportskid for 2011. And last but by no means | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
least is a youngster from County Durham who, despite being very | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
level-headed, isn't about to keep his feet on the ground. Katie | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
:22:41. | :22:43. | ||
Gornall can explain what that's all My name is on a vote, I am 11 and I | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
:22:53. | :23:05. | ||
It is a sport about speed, power and skill, all things that appear | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
to come naturally to honour but. But he still puts in a huge amount | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
of hard work and trains here at this gymnastic centre in County | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
Durham for around 16 hours a week. Certain kids you find, you can tell | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
they'd look good and they are willing to put the hard work in. | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
There is a lot of hard work that goes into reach the top levels. He | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
has motivation, he has the Times and he would do it without | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
questioning. I was really rubbish when I first started, but then I | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
got the hang of them. My friends kept on encouragingly and I got | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
better and better. After a year of doing it, I could see that he had | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
got a lot a of the ability there and he seemed to pick it up really | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
quickly. He came so far in such a short space of time. He has already | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
been crowned British champion for his age group and recently made the | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
GB team for the World Championships although an injury prevented him | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
from competing, but his coach is confident will be other | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
opportunities. When 2013 comes, I'm sure that one of a will be on that | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
team. Hopefully he will be there to go ahead in a challenge for the top | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
three. What would you like to achieve? I would like to be the | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
first person to do a triple back on the Champany Inn. -- quadruple back. | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
Four fits in one bounce. That does not sound too hot! | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
-- too hard. Talented editing, Katie! | :24:52. | :25:02. | |

Hannah, she said last night, the stuck her neck right out and said | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
that we are not going to have a She is absolutely right. We are | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
going to get some snow into our pictures. This is a beautiful scene. | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
With a rise in temperature over the coming days, it looks like we could | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
put per route to a white Christmas even in the hills. -- put paid. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
Tomorrow feeling a lot milder than it has done for the past couple of | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
days. Durham got six Celsius today. Tomorrow it will be 12. That gives | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
you some indication of deep in temperatures. It is because of this | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
front coming through with a brain, but it is warm. In this big wedge | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
of air, we have got all this air, it really mild, trapped in here. It | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
will last through Wednesday and Thursday, but by Friday, we get the | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
next front through, which is cold. Behind that, cooler air will come | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
in for Friday and for Christmas weekend. But not could enough to | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
give you a white Christmas. Tonight, the rain will push in across | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
Cumbria. It will settle across the region, heavy in places, so it so | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
the night. It means that at the moment, this is about the cold as | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
part of the night before the rain comes in. Temperatures down to one | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
or two degrees. The temperatures will bounce back as the cloud comes | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
in. A wet night means a wet start tomorrow morning. The sogginess | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
chugging away through the morning and so tomorrow afternoon looks | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
drier. If you are lucky, it will be brighter as well, especially down | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
the north-eastern coast. Those temperatures, as promised, into | :26:47. | :26:56. | |
double figures. There be, very mild for the time of year. Into Thursday, | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
we keep the mild weather going so elevens and Wells, mostly dry with | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
a bit of rain in Cumbria for a while. For Friday, ahead of the | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
brain, we keep the temperatures. But when the rain comes through, a | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
few showers behind it and the temperatures will dip a little by | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
the weekend. Last night, Hannah also promised you'd be a dress for | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
