:01:28. > :01:32.Welcome to Thursday's Look North. The headlines. How do you want to

:01:32. > :01:35.die? This document is a UK first and it is being pioneered here. It

:01:35. > :01:39.should ensure your wishes are respected if you do not want to be

:01:39. > :01:48.revived. It is such an undignified and unnecessary end to an old

:01:48. > :01:52.gentleman's life. It was really sad. Also tonight - danger on the line.

:01:52. > :01:56.A campaign to promote level crossing safety on the Metro.

:01:56. > :02:01.Could we blame our genes - when our jeans - your trousers - are too

:02:01. > :02:04.tight? The study that suggests our DNA determines our body weight.

:02:04. > :02:09.Building on the success of its big weekend - Carlisle attracts one of

:02:09. > :02:11.the country's biggest boy bands. In sport - ahead of their FA Cup

:02:11. > :02:16.quarter-final, the Sunderland backroom boy who knows what it is

:02:16. > :02:19.like to win at Everton. And will it be top marks for Katy

:02:19. > :02:29.McLean's England in the Six Nations as she swaps the playground for the

:02:29. > :02:34.

:02:34. > :02:40.rugby pitch? It is not something most of us want

:02:40. > :02:43.to think about it - how and where we want to die. Even if you know

:02:43. > :02:45.the answer, there is no guarantee your wishes will be respected. You

:02:45. > :02:50.could leave "do not resuscitate" instructions but still be revived

:02:50. > :02:53.by paramedics. Now the NHS in the north-east has launched a UK first.

:02:53. > :02:56.It is a legally binding document that will ensure there is a

:02:56. > :03:02.consistent approach in all the region's hospitals, hospices and

:03:02. > :03:05.care homes. So where do most people die?

:03:05. > :03:12.Majority of people say they would choose to die at home. But the

:03:12. > :03:16.reality is that most of us do not. According to the latest figures

:03:16. > :03:19.from the NHS in the north-east, 22 % of people died at home last year.

:03:19. > :03:22.18% of people ended their lives in care homes. Figures for hospitals

:03:23. > :03:26.are far higher - 56% of deaths in the north-east. And 4% of people

:03:26. > :03:30.died in a hospice. The top doctor in the north-east

:03:30. > :03:39.says this matters as much for those left behind, as for the person who

:03:39. > :03:44.is dying. It is really important to get the care of people right at the

:03:44. > :03:49.end of their lives. It is about their entire extended family. At

:03:49. > :03:54.his clinic people tell me tragic stories about a member of their

:03:54. > :03:56.family dying young and the fact that the care at the end of their

:03:57. > :03:59.life was so badly handled. member of a family whose

:03:59. > :04:06.experiences shaped this new "Deciding Right" policy was Irene

:04:06. > :04:12.Young. Here is her account of how her father's death was handled.

:04:12. > :04:18.dad was almost 90 years of age. He was mentally very alert and knew

:04:18. > :04:23.what he wanted. He made a document saying that if his heart stopped,

:04:23. > :04:28.he did not want it start -- restarted. Paramedics arrived and

:04:28. > :04:32.started to resuscitate him despite having seen the letter from him on

:04:33. > :04:40.headed paper from the care home organisation that he did not want

:04:40. > :04:46.to be resuscitated. That was ignored. Even of thought I was

:04:46. > :04:53.there. I was quite vocal in St do not take him. He was just taken

:04:53. > :04:58.away into hospital. It was such an undignified and unnecessary end to

:04:59. > :05:08.an old gentleman's life. It was really sad and that has tainted a

:05:08. > :05:12.lot of the memories - what should have been happy memories. You can

:05:12. > :05:21.share happy times at the end of someone's life. That will never

:05:21. > :05:27.leave me. A very poignant story there. She was speaking to our

:05:27. > :05:32.correspondent, who joins me now. How will it work? It is all about

:05:32. > :05:37.consistency and, people, patients and families and carers will sit

:05:37. > :05:43.around the table. They will agree on how they want to approach the

:05:43. > :05:48.end of life. They will draw up documentation. I have a sample here

:05:49. > :05:54.- this is I do not resuscitate form. Eileen's father had already drawn

:05:54. > :06:04.up this form but it was not recognised by the paramedics so we

:06:04. > :06:05.

:06:06. > :06:11.ended up dying in the ENE rather than at at the care home. The forms

:06:11. > :06:14.will be applicable in every setting, so for the first time the decisions

:06:14. > :06:21.will go with the patient rather than sticking with their

:06:21. > :06:29.organisations. A you might remember last year that and 81-year-old

:06:29. > :06:34.grandmother from Norfolk had do not resuscitate tattooed on her chest.

:06:34. > :06:39.She had P t or tattooed on her back if she got turned over. There are

:06:39. > :06:42.forms are recognised by health professionals right across the

:06:42. > :06:47.region and hopefully these misunderstandings will not to be

:06:47. > :06:53.happening in the future. This has started being rolled out in the

:06:53. > :06:56.North East already. The keyword is deciding right. If you talk to your

:06:56. > :07:02.health care professional they will know what you're talking about.

:07:02. > :07:05.Thank you very much. Other news now - a campaign was launched today to

:07:05. > :07:15.promote safety on level crossings on the Tyne and Wear Metro.

:07:15. > :07:15.

:07:15. > :07:18.Just take a look at these frightening pictures... These are

:07:18. > :07:21.just some examples of near misses on level crossings around the

:07:21. > :07:25.country. Nexus, the people who run the Metro, want to put the message

:07:25. > :07:27.across that if you risk your safety at a level crossing, you could be

:07:27. > :07:32.caught on camera and prosecuted. This report from Hannah Bayman.

:07:32. > :07:35.Playing chicken to impress their mates. Frightening footage from

:07:35. > :07:40.CCTV at a level crossing. It is not just kids who take unbelievable

:07:40. > :07:45.risks. Here, drivers risking death for the sake of saving a few

:07:45. > :07:48.moments of journey time. Soon the sort of reckless behaviour at level

:07:48. > :07:51.crossings is more likely to be caught on camera, with new CCTV to

:07:51. > :08:00.be installed at some stations on the Newcastle Metro, including here

:08:00. > :08:05.at Kingston Park. We do occasionally have collisions,

:08:05. > :08:08.usually vehicles colliding with the sight of trains. Having people are

:08:08. > :08:12.being distracted and not paying attention to simple warnings.

:08:12. > :08:14.would think it would be hard to miss an alarm like this, but train

:08:14. > :08:23.operators say some people are now distracted by listening to their

:08:23. > :08:28.iPods and mobile-phones while on the move. Youngsters now have

:08:28. > :08:32.access to their own world of music and text on their iPods or

:08:32. > :08:37.telephone, and I would ask people if they are approaching a level

:08:37. > :08:42.crossing, p attention to the red lights and not texting because she

:08:42. > :08:45.will walk out in front of a train. -- pay attention. Nexus hopes to

:08:45. > :08:53.spread the message that serious misuse of level crossings could

:08:53. > :08:56.mean either a prison sentence or a death sentence.

:08:56. > :09:00.Scientists in Newcastle have found new evidence that obesity could be

:09:00. > :09:04.linked to our genes. They have discovered genetic differences in

:09:04. > :09:07.babies who go on to become grossly overweight. But as our health

:09:07. > :09:12.reporter found out when she met Kevin, who has just lost 12 stones,

:09:12. > :09:17.lifestyle choices can make all the difference.

:09:17. > :09:20.Obesity - it is a major health problem for the north-east. There

:09:20. > :09:30.are more obese adults and children here than anywhere else in the

:09:30. > :09:30.

:09:30. > :09:38.country almost. What is it that makes some people become obese, is

:09:38. > :09:42.it nature or nurture? Is the lifestyle or their genes?

:09:42. > :09:49.Scientists at Newcastle University have discovered a lifestyle choices

:09:49. > :09:53.of a pregnant mother can influence the genes of their unborn child.

:09:53. > :10:00.suggests that a woman's behaviour during pregnancy can set her child

:10:00. > :10:03.and genes up in such a way that it can predict or impact on how it

:10:03. > :10:06.behaves in his later life. But the scientists also believe

:10:07. > :10:09.that an unhealthy lifestyle causes a change in the way genes work -

:10:10. > :10:17.then a healthy lifestyle should be able to reverse the changes. One

:10:17. > :10:27.man who believes that can happen is Kevin. I have come to Sunderland to

:10:27. > :10:27.

:10:27. > :10:31.meet Kevin who was this size are 24 weeks ago and... If you genes cause

:10:31. > :10:39.you to be obese, if that is the case I was say you have to work

:10:39. > :10:43.harder. It is a bit of an excuse. My family is fat. If you get out of

:10:43. > :10:51.that mental attitudes, you do not have to be fat.

:10:51. > :10:58.He should know, in six months he's lost nearly 13 stone. I was in a

:10:58. > :11:03.vicious circle. Literally every day, I would get up and saying I would

:11:03. > :11:08.do exercise but I would end up overheating and not exercising. I

:11:08. > :11:14.would feel bad and start eating too much again. I thought I had to do

:11:14. > :11:23.something about it. War research is needed but the work scientists are

:11:23. > :11:26.doing may help against the war against obesity.

:11:26. > :11:29.An 18 month old girl remains critically ill, more than three

:11:29. > :11:31.weeks after she and her twin brother were hit by a motorbike and

:11:31. > :11:34.Sunderland. They were in a pushchair with their

:11:34. > :11:37.mum when the accident happened on City Way in Doxford Park. The boy

:11:37. > :11:40.has now been discharged from hospital. Police are still

:11:40. > :11:43.investigating. A post-mortem examination is due to

:11:43. > :11:46.take place in a Darlington council worker found dead in a camping pod

:11:46. > :11:48.in Cumbria. Chris Bainbridge and his wife Jane were staying at the

:11:48. > :11:51.Quiet Estate in Watermillock near Ullswater at the weekend. The

:11:51. > :11:53.couple, in their forties and from Darlington, were discovered on

:11:53. > :11:55.Monday afternoon. There are indications suggest they had

:11:55. > :11:59.suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Mrs Bainbridge is in a serious

:11:59. > :12:02.condition in hospital. The body of a man found at Naburn

:12:02. > :12:05.Marina in York has been identified as the missing teenager Jordan

:12:05. > :12:07.Sullivan. The nineteen-year-old was last seen a month ago running

:12:07. > :12:12.towards the River Ouse. A major underwater search was launched at

:12:12. > :12:14.the time but without success. An inquest will be opened next week.

:12:14. > :12:18.And the company behind efforts to save Darlington Football Club has

:12:18. > :12:21.warned that the whole process is on a knife-edge. The club has been in

:12:21. > :12:26.administration since January, and a plan is in place to try to raise

:12:26. > :12:29.�750,000. More than �300,000 has been collected, but today the main

:12:29. > :12:32.players trying to save the club said more people have to become

:12:32. > :12:42.involved to ensure it does not die. Our business correspondent is at

:12:42. > :12:45.

:12:45. > :12:49.the Darlington Arena now. That sounds like a pretty grim warning?

:12:49. > :12:54.There was a press conference here today in which one of the founder

:12:54. > :12:59.members of the company which set up to try and save the club called it

:12:59. > :13:04.a go in picture because they have 100,000 pound Hall in their

:13:04. > :13:08.business plan. They had discovered the club has more creditors and

:13:08. > :13:14.they're not helped by low attendances at matches. The amount

:13:14. > :13:18.of money owed to creditors is higher than her worst-case estimate.

:13:18. > :13:22.We have been getting press estimates from the administrator

:13:22. > :13:27.since January and they have crept up as more creditors have emerged.

:13:28. > :13:33.We're looking at a shortfall there. We are also concerned that the

:13:33. > :13:38.number of people we expected and a last seven home games, which would

:13:38. > :13:44.have brought in more money, the level of attendance in the last two

:13:44. > :13:48.matches will not deliver the Revenue we expected to come in.

:13:48. > :13:58.Despite the poor crowds, the fans have reached a huge amount of cash

:13:58. > :13:58.

:13:58. > :14:04.but other people are now being targeted it? Fans have bought

:14:04. > :14:10.shares shares more than 300,000 pound and businesses have now been

:14:10. > :14:18.asked to put in more than �10,000 each. They want many more people to

:14:19. > :14:25.get involved. People think the club may already have been saved.

:14:25. > :14:29.have targeted the diehard fans and they have been tremendous. They

:14:29. > :14:35.have stepped up and put their hard- earned cash into this club and it

:14:35. > :14:39.is tremendous, they have received - - achieved a �300,000 in a few

:14:39. > :14:44.weeks. We need to widen the net now and get the wider community in

:14:44. > :14:49.Darlington to do something - that includes businesses. Is the club

:14:49. > :14:54.any near to coming out of administration? The club has been

:14:54. > :14:59.in administration since January but it is very much in the hands of the

:14:59. > :15:04.company tried to rescue them. waiting for them to put the

:15:05. > :15:11.business plan together. Once the plan is in place and I can lookout

:15:11. > :15:18.it, I need to look at it and assess it and see if I can then respond

:15:18. > :15:25.and say yes, this should be put to the creditors. Other initiatives

:15:25. > :15:30.have been planned. 7th April gain has been called saved Darlington

:15:30. > :15:38.game. The club has also been reducing prices for tickets.

:15:38. > :15:40.will keep our fingers crossed. A year after the BBC brought its

:15:40. > :15:43.star-studded big weekend music roadshow to Carlisle, it has been

:15:43. > :15:46.announced that boy band JLS will play to 20,000 fans in the city's

:15:46. > :15:50.bits park. The 2008 X-Factor runners up will perform over the

:15:50. > :15:53.bank holiday weekend at the end of August.

:15:53. > :15:55.Billed as one of the biggest boy bands of the generation, GLS shot

:15:55. > :16:04.to stardom after their X-factor Appearance, and have consistently

:16:04. > :16:07.topped charts since. -- JLS. Their lively stage performances have

:16:07. > :16:13.guaranteed them a huge fan base, and the Carlisle gig is likely to

:16:13. > :16:18.be the city's most high-profile this year. We have a music event in

:16:18. > :16:24.June and we have a host of concerts right across the city. This is

:16:24. > :16:28.another success for the city. It will be a fantastic concert and day

:16:28. > :16:36.out. It enhance his Carlisle as a city which can put on fantastic

:16:36. > :16:41.events. Most people agree. Have it is great, I cannot wait to see them.

:16:41. > :16:47.It will put Carlisle on the bat -- on the map. It might bring people

:16:47. > :16:52.to Carlisle. The spark is used to accommodating large crowds, the

:16:52. > :16:58.annual firework show is held here every autumn. Large concerts have

:16:58. > :17:04.taken place here, all West life played here in front of thousands.

:17:04. > :17:11.Coming just air after Radio One's big weekend, Carlisle is firmly on

:17:11. > :17:14.the circuit for some of the country's biggest bans. -- bans.

:17:14. > :17:17.Still to come in tonight's Look North. The rugby player about to

:17:17. > :17:20.lead England's women out in the final six nations match. Plus we

:17:20. > :17:26.have sent two teenagers to London's Olympic Park for a BBC's school

:17:26. > :17:32.report day, to see what the Games will mean for the North.

:17:35. > :17:38.He has terrible tusks and terrible claws and terrible teeth in his

:17:38. > :17:42.terrible jaws. He is the Gruffalo, of course, which he will know if

:17:42. > :17:44.you had anything to do a small children over the past few years.

:17:44. > :17:47.His creator, the Children's Laureate, Julia Donaldson, has been

:17:47. > :17:51.in the region today ahead of the opening of an exhibition based on

:17:51. > :18:01.her work. It includes a Gruffalo 7 ft tall, and opens the Saturday at

:18:07. > :18:11.seven stories in Newcastle. Our story is by Julie Smyth.

:18:11. > :18:20.The warts on the end of his nose. Julia Donaldson's rhythm and rhyme

:18:20. > :18:25.on show here in Newcastle. I have always set great store by rhythm

:18:25. > :18:30.and rhyme, probably because a was a song writer before I wrote stories.

:18:30. > :18:34.There is a beautiful theatre here and a lot of costumes so children

:18:34. > :18:41.can dress up as their favourite characters from the books and act

:18:41. > :18:47.out the stories. It is all wonderful. VIP Charlie Cooke is

:18:47. > :18:54.here to meet his namesake. I have enjoyed myself. I have got away

:18:54. > :18:58.from the school day which is quite fun. The original artwork from many

:18:58. > :19:05.stories is here. It is very exciting for me to see the pictures

:19:05. > :19:15.and frames because it looks so different. The exhibition will run

:19:15. > :19:15.

:19:15. > :19:18.for a year. Two teenagers from Ingleby Barwick near Stockton and

:19:18. > :19:21.the on the pupils and the whole the north-east and Cumbria to take part

:19:21. > :19:24.in a special visit to the Olympic Park in London today.

:19:24. > :19:28.Tabitha and Lauren, who are both 13, and from All Saints School, also

:19:28. > :19:31.had the chance to ask Lord Coe what the Olympics will mean for the

:19:31. > :19:41.North. They had been filming their experiences for the BBC's school

:19:41. > :19:45.

:19:45. > :19:50.report day. Hello, I am 13 years old. I'm really excited. We're so

:19:50. > :19:54.lucky to have a chance like this. We're going to the Olympic village

:19:54. > :20:04.and we will get to meet Lord Cork who is an inspiration to so many

:20:04. > :20:07.people. My name is happened that and I am 13 years old. I like

:20:07. > :20:14.gymnastics and I compete in competitions. I could not believe

:20:14. > :20:19.it, we're not even near London, it is a big shock and I was really

:20:19. > :20:23.excited. Join us in London were we will visit the Olympic Park.

:20:24. > :20:31.And here we are - 300 miles from home, but finally we get to see the

:20:31. > :20:41.Olympic Park for ourselves - before anyone else. It is huge and can

:20:41. > :20:48.hold 80,000 people. The idea is that after the Olympic Games in

:20:48. > :20:56.this area will become a green space for people to enjoy. Can a welcome

:20:56. > :21:01.you all to the handball arena. really excited. My question is -

:21:01. > :21:06.and the Olympics is very London based, what legacy will that leave

:21:06. > :21:11.for the people in the North East? That is a very good question. The

:21:11. > :21:16.further from London, the greater the creativity. We have to except

:21:16. > :21:20.that a lot of people distant from London may not get to the Games so

:21:20. > :21:25.they have to do things and er creatively doing things in their

:21:25. > :21:28.local communities which make the games live. Some of the things

:21:29. > :21:34.which are happening in schools, understanding the values of the

:21:34. > :21:41.Olympics, some of the projects and sports participation programmes, it

:21:41. > :21:46.is all happening in a dramatic way. He I was really nervous before work.

:21:46. > :21:50.Once asked my question and he answered, I felt a lot more

:21:50. > :21:58.comfortable because he was really down to earth. He gave me a really

:21:58. > :22:03.good answer. Being in London is really important. Being in the

:22:03. > :22:08.Olympic village has made me realise how much effort has been put into

:22:08. > :22:17.it and how successful it will be. We are reporting from the Olympic

:22:17. > :22:20.village in London. Sport now and it is less than 48 hours until

:22:20. > :22:23.Sunderland take on Everton for a place in the FA Cup semi-final - on

:22:23. > :22:27.a ground where history is very much against them. It certainly is! The

:22:27. > :22:30.Black Cats have won just once at Goodison Park in the past 30 years.

:22:30. > :22:34.But one of the backroom staff at the Stadium of Light can tell the

:22:34. > :22:38.current crop of players just what it feels like. He scored the opener

:22:38. > :22:41.in a 3-1 victory over the blues in November 1996. He did - and he has

:22:41. > :22:44.got shirt to prove it. I went along to meet him at the club's training

:22:44. > :22:50.ground. Craig Russell played more than 100 games for the team, no

:23:00. > :23:04.Premier League season, including this one. I remember the goalkeeper

:23:04. > :23:09.and someone just ran down the right hand side and cross it in. I just

:23:09. > :23:16.managed to get my head to it and it went in the box, a fantastic

:23:16. > :23:22.feeling. Michael Bridges scored the other goal which gave them their

:23:22. > :23:30.only victory at the ground since 1982. Craig it thinks Martin

:23:30. > :23:35.O'Neill's side have a decent chance. It will be tough. The kids -- the

:23:35. > :23:41.lads did fantastically well last weekend. We're very confident.

:23:41. > :23:46.Anything can happen on the day but we have a fantastic following,

:23:46. > :23:52.nearly 6,000 fans and it will feel more like a home game. Craig knows

:23:52. > :23:58.what it is like to stand on the terraces. He arrived back at the

:23:58. > :24:04.club via Newcastle Falcons. I have experienced all kinds of emotions,

:24:04. > :24:07.from being a fan to being a player and now to be on the staff, you

:24:08. > :24:15.still feel the France side of it but you have to be professional

:24:15. > :24:24.about things. -- fan at side of it. You can get quite excited when

:24:25. > :24:31.things are going on. It is really tough but it is fantastic. Could

:24:31. > :24:40.you say to Nicklas Bendtner, I did we you do? Some other no but we try

:24:40. > :24:43.to educate them. We have put my picture up. This was a real place

:24:43. > :24:50.where real things happened, so hopefully the recognise some of

:24:50. > :24:52.those old times. In rugby union this weekend, South

:24:52. > :24:55.Shields Katy McLean will lead England's women out in the final

:24:55. > :24:58.six nations match of the series. The fly half, who plays for

:24:58. > :25:01.Darlington Mowden Park Sharks, has to finish her school work first

:25:01. > :25:06.however, but knows that if they beat Ireland on Saturday her team

:25:06. > :25:09.will have set a remarkable record. Just two days before the big game

:25:09. > :25:12.and Katie is still harder work teaching reception children at

:25:12. > :25:15.Bexhill primary-school in Sunderland. England's men have been

:25:15. > :25:17.training all week, but for the women whose game is not

:25:17. > :25:27.professional, it is a constant juggling act, but Katie wouldn't

:25:27. > :25:32.have it any other way. The school had been amazing. I am so lucky.

:25:32. > :25:37.There is only so much time you can ask for off. I travelled down

:25:37. > :25:44.tomorrow to meet the squad and a lot of the girls are at work, it is

:25:44. > :25:47.nothing new for us. It is brilliant. She will go from Miss McLean school

:25:47. > :25:50.teacher to Katy McLean England captain on Saturday. England have

:25:50. > :25:53.had only six points scored against them in the series so far and, if

:25:53. > :26:02.as expected, they beat Ireland on Saturday, it will be a phenomenal

:26:02. > :26:07.record. If we beat them, we win the Six Nations and the Grand Slam.

:26:07. > :26:14.That will be the 7th here consecutive Grand Slam winners.

:26:14. > :26:17.Anything can happen in a tournament. The Irish will want to get that Cup.

:26:17. > :26:23.The women's game has seen a huge progression in the past five years

:26:23. > :26:26.and for England it is almost it was a World Cup in France in 2014.

:26:26. > :26:31.her ultimate aim is to win a World Cup with England and lift that

:26:31. > :26:35.trophy. If Katy lifts the Six Nations Trophy this weekend, she

:26:35. > :26:43.hopes to bring it back to school for a show and tell the children

:26:43. > :26:53.will never forget. Good luck to her and all the girls this weekend.

:26:53. > :26:55.

:26:55. > :26:57.Time for the weather now. The rain cloud around meant the in

:26:57. > :27:02.The rain cloud around meant the in fortunes today and it is a similar

:27:02. > :27:06.story for the weekend. Fairly cloudy skies which will gradually

:27:06. > :27:13.brighten up. There was a definite East West split to the weather

:27:13. > :27:18.today. A bit of sunshine in Sunderland. It was a lot more

:27:18. > :27:22.acceptable. That split continues this evening and overnight. If you

:27:22. > :27:28.walk to spot the Northern Lights, then it your best chance is in the

:27:28. > :27:37.east. There will be some cloud but it will be Fenn and broken. Western

:27:37. > :27:40.regions always cloudier and rain will arrive eventually. Whether

:27:40. > :27:44.clack -- whether Sky's stake clearer, temperatures will drop to

:27:44. > :27:51.four or five Celsius. Perhaps a touch of ground frost in some

:27:51. > :27:55.sports. The cloud and rain spreads from the West through tomorrow.

:27:55. > :28:01.Eastern regions should see some bright spells in the morning. Some

:28:01. > :28:05.regions might hang on to the sunshine through the afternoon. The

:28:05. > :28:10.cloud it gradually spreads the rainy eastwards. Temperatures

:28:10. > :28:16.milder than today. That southerly winds will be quite brisk and it

:28:21. > :28:26.weekend - here is the weather front which is bringing the rain. It

:28:26. > :28:31.tries to clear southwards as we head into Saturday. Saturday will

:28:31. > :28:36.start off cloudy with rain but that will clear away. Some flakes of

:28:36. > :28:42.snow over the hills but brighter weather on Sunday. Most places will

:28:42. > :28:47.get some sunshine developing on Saturday. By Sunday, essentially

:28:47. > :28:52.dry and bright weather for most of us. Temperatures will struggle to
