:01:23. > :01:26."Every parent's nightmare." That's how David Bryant has been described.
:01:26. > :01:30.He preyed on young girls, snatched them from the streets and then
:01:30. > :01:34.carried out sickening attacks on them. Two of his victims were
:01:34. > :01:38.dumped 40 miles from their home. And he was convinced he was in the
:01:38. > :01:41.clear. Well, thanks to the science of DNA, tonight he starts a 16-year
:01:41. > :01:44.sentence for kidnap and sexual assault. In a moment, we'll look at
:01:44. > :01:50.the background to the case. But first, from Newcastle Crown Court,
:01:50. > :01:53.here's our Chief Reporter, Chris Stewart.
:01:53. > :01:58.David Bryant has been in prison since he was arrested last summer,
:01:58. > :02:03.but he believed he had escaped conviction. He refused to answer
:02:03. > :02:07.detective's questions, and they say he used every legal trick in the
:02:07. > :02:11.book to try and frustrate them put up eventually, the scientific
:02:11. > :02:16.evidence meant he changed his plea to guilty. He did come to admit his
:02:16. > :02:20.defences when he was interviewed by a probation officer. His eventual
:02:20. > :02:24.arrest had caused him ascent of grievance, said Judge James Goss.
:02:24. > :02:29.He thought he had got away with it. The judge added, however, you now
:02:29. > :02:34.say you won remorse for and do apologise. Something to which I do
:02:34. > :02:41.not attach a great deal of weight. Bryant they have -- David Bryant
:02:41. > :02:46.also said he had been tempted to try again but had controlled his
:02:46. > :02:50.edges. The judge said he could have sent him to prison for longer but
:02:50. > :02:53.he had to appear to the guidelines in place when the commit --
:02:53. > :02:56.offences were committed. The crimes committed by David
:02:56. > :02:59.Bryant were so horrendous and so unusual they're still fresh in many
:02:59. > :03:09.people's minds. Chris Stewart's been looking at the background to
:03:09. > :03:15.
:03:15. > :03:21.the investigation and how the story The Northumbria police helicopter
:03:21. > :03:24.was up over Newcastle's Western suburbs throughout the night.
:03:24. > :03:29.May 1995, and a five-year-old girl has been snatched from the streets.
:03:29. > :03:32.She had been found early the next morning, 40 miles away in
:03:32. > :03:37.Darlington. She had been sexually assaulted. The story had made
:03:37. > :03:40.national headlines and the police knew clearly that they were
:03:40. > :03:46.searching for an extremely dangerous man. And then, four
:03:46. > :03:50.months later, that man struck again. Again, a girl was driven away from
:03:50. > :03:54.Newcastle, again, she was sexually assaulted. Again, she was dumped in
:03:54. > :03:59.Darlington. This time, the victim was just four years old, and this
:03:59. > :04:04.time, she did not turn up until the following afternoon. Even though
:04:04. > :04:09.the police had DNA samples, the crimes went unsolved. Then in 2010,
:04:09. > :04:11.called case detectives in Hampshire decided to create a damning -- re-
:04:11. > :04:17.examine the kidnap and sexual assault of a five-year-old girl in
:04:17. > :04:21.Gosport, in 1982, and the kidnap and sexual assault of a three-year-
:04:21. > :04:26.old girl in Southampton the following year. DNA samples from
:04:26. > :04:31.those crimes were noted -- loaded onto the national database and they
:04:31. > :04:34.matched the DNA from the Newcastle crimes. Not only that, but newly
:04:34. > :04:39.developed techniques meant scientists were able to match the
:04:39. > :04:43.DNA profile to a profile already held on the national database. This
:04:43. > :04:47.profile could only have come from a near relative of the man they were
:04:47. > :04:51.looking for, a series of arrests were made, and the police did
:04:51. > :04:56.Naumann hat -- have their man. This is an old police picture of the
:04:56. > :05:01.suspect. Nowadays, he looks like this. David Bryant, a taxi driver
:05:01. > :05:05.who was living with his goal the debt -- girlfriend in Cumbria. He
:05:05. > :05:15.thought he would never be called. Is arrogant continued when he was
:05:15. > :05:28.
:05:28. > :05:37.questioned by detectives. Tell us Among those who had been on his
:05:38. > :05:41.trail back in 1995 was Steve thinks, it then a detective sergeant.
:05:41. > :05:47.showed no remorse and was forever and used every legal trick in the
:05:47. > :05:51.book to try and evade conviction. It will only when he was feted
:05:51. > :05:55.irrefutable evidence that he pleaded guilty. I think he
:05:56. > :05:59.represents every parent's nightmare. Fortunately, he is now behind it --
:05:59. > :06:03.behind bars. How are the young women who went through this, how
:06:03. > :06:07.are they? They have struggled throughout their lives, it was
:06:07. > :06:11.quite a traumatic ordeal. Despite their young age, some of them have
:06:11. > :06:14.had problems over the years. I would commend the way they have
:06:14. > :06:18.conducted their lives throughout, and the way they have conducted
:06:18. > :06:21.themselves over at the inquiry. What David Bryant did to these
:06:21. > :06:25.communities has never been forgotten, and now he is in prison,
:06:25. > :06:35.where he will be kept away from other inmates, the man who targeted
:06:35. > :06:37.
:06:37. > :06:40.the vulnerable will now find he is ''I was trapped, choking on sand,
:06:40. > :06:44.convinced I was going to die.'' The words today of a Northumberland man
:06:44. > :06:48.who was stuck in a sand dune, with sand covering his head. Ron Martin
:06:48. > :06:51.was digging a hole with his brother at Druridge Bay when he fell in.
:06:51. > :06:54.More than 40 rescuers spent two hours digging him out. Now
:06:54. > :07:03.recovering at home, he's been speaking to our reporter Stuart
:07:03. > :07:08.Whincup about his ordeal. It just swallowed us, just took us
:07:08. > :07:13.away. More sand came on top of us, then the voices disappeared. I was
:07:13. > :07:19.just completely surrounded, buried alive, basically. I could feel the
:07:19. > :07:24.sand filling my mouth and throat. My eyes, my eyes were just stand.
:07:24. > :07:29.My ears, everything. I could not win court might fingertips on my
:07:29. > :07:34.toes. -- wiggle my fingertips. I was crushed alive, gone, away,
:07:34. > :07:38.nothing. From's head was buried under the sand. His brother and
:07:39. > :07:42.best friend tried to pick him out. I found the top of his head, I
:07:42. > :07:50.thought he was dead, I thought we were digging a dead body at, to be
:07:50. > :07:56.honest. Your help us. You feel like you're digging forever. It is the
:07:56. > :08:02.worst thing I have ever done -- you are helpless. One was given oxygen
:08:02. > :08:07.when rescuers joined the rescue. It took two hours to free him.
:08:07. > :08:16.cannot sleep, I cannot shut my eyes, because you just hear it coming
:08:16. > :08:22.away. You could see the look in their eyes. It was scary. It is
:08:22. > :08:29.just, the first day of sun, living near the beach. It was a disaster
:08:29. > :08:32.after that, hell, a living hell. The Chancellor George Osborne was
:08:32. > :08:35.asked when he'd last bought a Greggs pasty today, following the
:08:35. > :08:40.firm's pledge to fight plans to charge VAT on freshly-baked savoury
:08:40. > :08:43.products. Greggs say it's a tax on their customers, at a time when
:08:43. > :08:51.their budgets are already hard- pressed. Mr Osborne was challenged
:08:51. > :09:00.on the proposals at the Treasury select committee. When was the last
:09:00. > :09:05.time you brought a pasty at Greggs? I can't remember the last time I
:09:05. > :09:13.bought a pasty from Greggs. That kind of sums it up. When was the
:09:13. > :09:20.last time... As you are putting up the price of hot pass these in
:09:20. > :09:23.Greggs, if I'd buy capacity from Pat -- past these from Greggs, if I
:09:23. > :09:30.buy a pasty from Greggs which is cooked hot but by that time I get
:09:30. > :09:35.it in a bag and taken away it is cold, will it be applicable to VAT?
:09:35. > :09:38.If it is cold when you buy it, it will not be! I don't think he has
:09:38. > :09:42.ever tried one! The North East's car industry is
:09:42. > :09:45.bringing another 130 jobs to Wearside. French company SNOP,
:09:45. > :09:47.which supplies body parts to Nissan, is converting the old TRW factory
:09:47. > :09:50.in Washington as its UK manufacturing base. The plant will
:09:50. > :09:53.open in the autumn. A letter handwritten in 1933 by the
:09:53. > :09:57.children's author Beatrix Potter has sold for less than expected at
:09:57. > :10:01.auction. The 100 word note was written at Castle Cottage near
:10:01. > :10:05.Ambleside. It's from Helen Heelis. Helen was her first name, Beatrix
:10:05. > :10:11.was the middle name and Heelis her married name. It was expected to
:10:11. > :10:14.fetch �1,500, but in the end raised just over �900.
:10:14. > :10:17.A team from the Office of Fair Trading is in Northumberland this
:10:17. > :10:21.evening to investigate the rising price of home heating oil in rural
:10:21. > :10:27.areas. The price has quadrupled in the past decade from just 15 pence
:10:27. > :10:35.per litre to an average of 60 pence a litre. This means a 2,500 litre
:10:35. > :10:37.tank will cost �1,500 to fill. But rural householders have had enough.
:10:37. > :10:40.Some are banding together to form co-operatives that force the fuel
:10:40. > :10:45.companies to offer a lower price or the business from several hundred
:10:45. > :10:48.homes will go elsewhere. In a moment we'll hear from one of our
:10:48. > :10:54.MPs. But first, Adrian Pitches has been seeing how the fuel co-op
:10:54. > :10:59.works. The fuel tank may be hidden away,
:10:59. > :11:03.but the fuel prices are catching the headlights. Now homeowners are
:11:03. > :11:08.clubbing together to drive down the cost. It is the chance for them to
:11:08. > :11:12.get together and collectively by a very high-priced commodity, which
:11:12. > :11:16.is boiled to heat their homes. have turned the table on the fuel
:11:16. > :11:22.companies, you are asking for a lower price and because there is so
:11:23. > :11:28.many of you, they are having to accede. Yes, reluctantly, I have to
:11:28. > :11:31.admit, but yes they are. They are realising that local people in
:11:31. > :11:36.rural put -- communities such as ours, they do not have the benefit
:11:36. > :11:39.of gas, mains gas, they are the captive audience for the oil
:11:39. > :11:43.suppliers. By grouping together, we are giving them a strong message
:11:43. > :11:47.that we need to do something about it. The cost has gone through the
:11:47. > :11:51.roof. Oil-price has quadrupled in 10 years, that is a lot has -- lot
:11:51. > :11:58.of money. And the one making savings of four to five pence per
:11:58. > :12:05.litre? It varies, 1p to 14 pence per litre, that is a mark -- lot of
:12:05. > :12:07.money. Fuel companies beware, the consumers are flexing their muscles.
:12:07. > :12:10.Northumberland MP Guy Opperman blames the heating fuel companies
:12:10. > :12:16.for driving up prices and he's backing his constituents as they
:12:16. > :12:21.flex their collective buying power. In relation to heating oil, there
:12:21. > :12:25.are over 15 given suppliers, but 12 of them are controlled by one
:12:25. > :12:29.company and who operate effectively as cartel. There is very little
:12:29. > :12:32.choice. What is happening is local groups are coming together and
:12:32. > :12:35.supporting the local, individual, independent companies, which we
:12:35. > :12:39.think is a very good thing, and trying to drive down the price.
:12:39. > :12:42.That is what the OFT are going to Northumberland to see, how we are
:12:42. > :12:45.doing it better than the rest of the country, and what they can
:12:45. > :12:48.learn from us. And the Office of Fair Trading investigation into
:12:48. > :12:50.remote communities finishes at the end of the month and will report
:12:50. > :12:53.back later in the spring. You're watching Look North. Still
:12:53. > :13:02.to come, we're live at the Stadium of Light ahead of Sunderland's FA
:13:02. > :13:06.Cup quarter final replay. SPEAKS SPANISH. But today I am back
:13:06. > :13:08.in Middlesbrough and there is no place like it. And we're talking
:13:08. > :13:11.Spanish football but with a Teesside accent. We meet
:13:11. > :13:18.Middlesbrough fan Kay Murray, who's landed her dream job as the face of
:13:18. > :13:26.Real Madrid TV. And it is very hot, the weather, I
:13:26. > :13:29.find out how hot and find out what A house for a quid? Incredible as
:13:29. > :13:32.it might sound, that is the starting bid for a property being
:13:32. > :13:36.sold at auction in County Durham tonight. Of course, 29 Church
:13:36. > :13:39.Street, Ferryhill does have a few issues. But, if you can overlook
:13:39. > :13:42.the lack of floors and ceilings, the vandalised kitchen and bathroom,
:13:42. > :13:46.and the structural defects, it could be just the investment
:13:46. > :13:54.opportunity you're looking for. Peter Lugg made an appointment with
:13:54. > :14:00.the estate agent. Excellent rail links, close to open
:14:00. > :14:05.country Heights, and a low, low starting price. Incredible that
:14:05. > :14:10.bidding for 29 Church Street has started at just �1. Robinson, the
:14:10. > :14:13.estate agents, they are behind all of the positive spin. They will
:14:13. > :14:18.tell you that Ferry Hill is a traditional mining village with a
:14:18. > :14:23.pub, school and local shop. But there are a few things their
:14:23. > :14:27.catalogue does not mention. It does not say much about this lot in the
:14:27. > :14:32.catalogue, but let me tell you about the inside. Floorboards
:14:32. > :14:37.missing, ceiling down, kitchen trashed, Bartram trashed. Bit of a
:14:37. > :14:41.project, really. But with a little work, the agents are convinced 29
:14:41. > :14:45.is a real investment opportunity. There are a number of houses that
:14:45. > :14:50.we have sold in this area, which have been on a similar condition
:14:50. > :14:55.put up some of them have achieved in this condition as much as
:14:55. > :15:02.�18,500. Some locals would prefer to see a bulldozer arrived and a
:15:02. > :15:07.builder's van. You have just got to put a reserve on on �10,000, or
:15:07. > :15:12.whether someone is willing to pay �10,000 for a squelch -- a shell,
:15:12. > :15:16.it is just a square brick, basically. But Muriel at number 20
:15:16. > :15:20.things all that is needed is a young couple with a bit of a dream.
:15:20. > :15:25.Well, as I say, it will be a mess inside because it has been
:15:25. > :15:29.vandalised while it has been empty, it has been empty a good while now.
:15:29. > :15:33.These houses could be made nice? They can be made nice, yes. Either
:15:33. > :15:38.way, you will have to be quick. The bidding is already underway at
:15:38. > :15:42.Hardwick Hill. Now, if you're a young journalist
:15:42. > :15:44.with a passion for football, what would be your dream job? Well, Kay
:15:44. > :15:48.Murray from Middlesbrough is a television sports reporter and
:15:48. > :15:50.presenter. She began her career with Boro TV on Teesside, and now
:15:50. > :15:56.she's based at the magnificent Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and
:15:56. > :15:59.recognised as the face of Real Madrid TV. We caught up with Kay on
:15:59. > :16:09.one of her frequent visits back home and we've seen her in action
:16:09. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:21.in Spain. I am one of the few people who has
:16:21. > :16:25.had the privilege of seeing the Santiago Bernebau dressing room,
:16:25. > :16:31.but this truly is the best one for me. Hello, and welcome to this
:16:31. > :16:35.week's top goals, coming from the - - from the outskirts of Madrid. My
:16:35. > :16:39.life today is extremely different to my life back here, and my time
:16:39. > :16:42.at Middlesbrough TV, because with Real Madrid at being one of the
:16:42. > :16:51.biggest clubs in the world, things can get very difficult. There's a
:16:51. > :16:56.lot of pressure on you a lot of the time. Middlesbrough TV was one of
:16:56. > :17:01.the best experiences of my working life. The most fun, in fact,
:17:01. > :17:05.because it was a young team. It was really dynamic. We put all our
:17:05. > :17:10.ideas together, and because of the banter which is natural here in
:17:10. > :17:17.Teesside, it was just a fabulous learning ground and a relief on one
:17:17. > :17:22.to be at. Some of the people I meet working for Real Madrid are
:17:22. > :17:29.different are the people I meet here! One word to describe and Real
:17:29. > :17:39.Madrid and one word to describe myself -- yourself. To describe
:17:39. > :17:56.
:17:56. > :18:01.real Madrid? Huge. And so difficult. I always want to win, I am a
:18:01. > :18:05.competitive person, it is part of me. You had to grow up very quickly,
:18:05. > :18:09.you went to sporting natty young age, you were away from your mother,
:18:09. > :18:16.it did that make you grow up quickly? Definitely. When you leave
:18:16. > :18:21.your family when you're young, you have to grow up quickly. I speak
:18:21. > :18:26.English with a Teesside accent, but when I speak Spanish, I have got a
:18:26. > :18:31.Madrid accent. I still think that there should be more regional
:18:31. > :18:37.accents on TV that there are. Sometimes I have been rounded off
:18:37. > :18:39.because the work I do is to an international audience and you are
:18:39. > :18:47.expected to it round your brows, off but I don't really want to do
:18:47. > :18:52.it because I am relieved -- I am really proud, it is a warm and
:18:52. > :18:58.friendly accent and it is one I am proud to have. Welcome to Real
:18:58. > :19:02.Madrid television news. One of the funniest things is, nobody back in
:19:02. > :19:06.Madrid has the clothes I can buy in Middlesbrough. I look quite unique.
:19:06. > :19:10.You have got to look different in Spain, but people say, but is a
:19:10. > :19:20.really nice dress, you are going to tell me you have got it from
:19:20. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:33.Middlesbrough, haven't you? I am And our thanks to Real Madrid TV
:19:33. > :19:39.for some of the pictures in that report. Fancy a transfer?
:19:39. > :19:42.I can see the appeal! Jose Mourinho! Let's start with
:19:42. > :19:46.Sunderland's FA Cup quarter-final replay at home to Everton. The
:19:46. > :19:48.prize for the winner is a trip to the capital in the last four and
:19:48. > :19:56.would be the latest stage in the club's stunning revival under
:19:56. > :20:01.Martin O'Neill. Mark Tulip's at the Stadium of Light for us now.
:20:01. > :20:05.Thank you, there is nothing to choose between these two clubs this
:20:05. > :20:09.season, they are right next to each other in the top offer the Premier
:20:09. > :20:14.League, and they drew the original Cup tie at Goodison Park 1-1.
:20:14. > :20:19.Everton have won 11 of their last 16 meetings in all competitions,
:20:19. > :20:23.but remember -- forget the omens, this is Wearside's Best Cup round
:20:23. > :20:32.in years, and Sunderland fans can be forgiven for getting a little
:20:32. > :20:37.bit misty eyed. Dream, dream, dream... It may be a
:20:37. > :20:40.little premature ate for Sunderland fans to be dreaming of an FA Cup
:20:40. > :20:44.fans -- final, but they will get to the semi-final if they get past

:20:48. > :20:52.dreaming of Wembley. Wembley has got to be kept for the big occasion,
:20:53. > :20:57.the final. And it is too expensive, I cannot export -- afford to go to
:20:57. > :21:01.the semi-final and the final, all end -- all the way to London, so I
:21:01. > :21:08.am not going to the semi-final, I will keep the money for the final!
:21:08. > :21:12.It would be great to win the final, it will be a hard game against
:21:12. > :21:17.Everton and then won against Liverpool, but it is an a important
:21:17. > :21:22.fan -- game because of 1973. cannot stop the players from
:21:22. > :21:28.dreaming either. I have been dreaming forever. You grow up as a
:21:28. > :21:32.kid, watching the Cup finals, thinking how great it would be to
:21:32. > :21:37.be involved in it. We are only two games away from it. We have got to
:21:37. > :21:41.get past Everton, that is a massive game. Let's go and give it
:21:41. > :21:47.everything we have got, that is the message. Everton have every bit as
:21:47. > :21:57.big an incentive as we have, a Liverpool and a game at Wembley.
:21:57. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:08.That is a big enough incentive. Whenever I want you, or I have to
:22:08. > :22:11.A big question, are you expecting a long night?
:22:11. > :22:15.I have been thinking about this, and several recent matches between
:22:15. > :22:18.Sunderland and Everton here at the Stadium of Light have ended in
:22:18. > :22:23.draws. I think this might go all the way to extra-time and penalties.
:22:23. > :22:27.I just hope I have remembered my keys!
:22:28. > :22:33.Martin O'Neill can call and some reinforcements tonight?
:22:33. > :22:43.Yes, I am expecting the return of Phil Barber, said -- there Barnsley
:22:43. > :22:45.
:22:45. > :22:49.and -- said Larsson and Lee Cattermole. It will be a repeat of
:22:49. > :22:55.1992 FA Cup final that Sunderland lost to Lee -- level. There is
:22:55. > :22:58.fought radio commentary on BBC Newcastle and you can catch at the
:22:58. > :23:01.reports on the late news. Meanwhile, earlier today,
:23:01. > :23:03.Sunderland released their financial results for the year ending last
:23:03. > :23:07.July. Ahead of UEFA implementing its new financial fair play rules,
:23:07. > :23:13.the club reduced its overall loss by �12 million, to just under �8
:23:13. > :23:17.million. Away from Wearside, what a
:23:17. > :23:19.difference six weeks make, weather wise at least. These were the
:23:19. > :23:21.scenes at Ipswich in Suffolk last month when play-off hopefuls
:23:21. > :23:28.Middlesbrough saw their Championship match abandoned due to
:23:28. > :23:31.a frozen pitch. They try again at Portman Road tonight. And in League
:23:31. > :23:35.One 6th placed Carlisle, here in the yellow, continue their run of
:23:35. > :23:38.tough fixtures at MK Dons, who are a place above them.
:23:38. > :23:41.The Redcar Bears speedway team have signed experienced rider Carl
:23:41. > :23:44.Wilkinson on loan from Scunthorpe as cover for captain Gary Havelock,
:23:44. > :23:50.who spent a night in intensive care following a serious crash in which
:23:50. > :23:53.he suffered multiple fractures. Havelock, in the blue helmet, is
:23:53. > :23:56.being transferred from the James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough to a
:23:56. > :24:03.hospital in Leeds to undergo an operation to deal with damage to
:24:03. > :24:08.nerves and ligaments in his broken left shoulder.
:24:08. > :24:12.Let's hope you get well soon. It has been another lovely day, but
:24:12. > :24:16.while we are stuck in the studio, Paul is outside topping up his
:24:16. > :24:22.suntan! It seemed a pity not make a most of
:24:22. > :24:25.it. Plenty of you have been out and about making a most of it. Take a
:24:25. > :24:30.lap -- take a look at these shots this afternoon, some brave souls
:24:30. > :24:33.around in Sunderland actually took to the North Sea. Hazy sunshine
:24:33. > :24:37.there this afternoon underneath a high pressure put up the sea
:24:37. > :24:41.temperature is only about seven or eight degrees, and braver than me!
:24:41. > :24:47.Although most contented themselves with a kickabout on the grass and
:24:47. > :24:57.queuing up to keep that ice-cream man busy. It has been a beautiful

:25:06. > :25:13.day right across the region, it has One. Even on the coasts, where
:25:13. > :25:16.things were a bit cooler, we still made the mid- to high teens, not
:25:16. > :25:20.bad at all for the tail end of March. This evening and overnight,
:25:20. > :25:24.the sun is beginning to dip over the horizon and things will cool
:25:24. > :25:29.down. Like last night, there is barely a cloud in the sky it right
:25:29. > :25:31.across the north-east and Cumbria. Light winds which means the keep --
:25:31. > :25:38.heat for radiate away from the grounds and the air temperatures
:25:38. > :25:46.will drop. In the countryside, a few places could see a touch of
:25:46. > :25:55.frost later in the night. Watch out for one or two mist patches forming.
:25:55. > :26:02.Actually start again tomorrow, in the early mistiness will clear. --
:26:02. > :26:08.a chilly start tomorrow. It will head up, temperature Wise, inland
:26:08. > :26:14.areas seeing temperatures around 17 or 18. A bit cooler on the Cumbrian
:26:14. > :26:18.coast. The north-east coast should see another hot day. Like the last
:26:18. > :26:22.couple of days, barely a cloud in the skies, unbroken blue skies and
:26:22. > :26:28.sunshine for most of us again tomorrow. Aziz said last night,
:26:28. > :26:33.some high-pressure which has kept us bone dry recently stays in
:26:33. > :26:37.charge over the next few days, but then it shift away westwards and
:26:37. > :26:43.sit over Ireland. It will keep most of us tried but by the end of the
:26:43. > :26:47.week it will feed in some slightly cooler north westerly wind. We will
:26:47. > :26:52.see temperatures taking a dip. Most places will see afternoon
:26:52. > :26:56.temperatures up in the mid- to high teens on Thursday and Friday. Clear
:26:56. > :27:00.spells overnight, and most of this state bone dry, we might see the
:27:00. > :27:03.odd spot of drizzle at the weekend but essentially no proper range to
:27:03. > :27:13.talk about. If the garden is gasping for some water, it will

:27:16. > :27:19.Finally, at the headlines. A report into last summer's rioting says it
:27:19. > :27:23.could happen again if half-a- million forgotten families are not
