A pioneering centre for ex-service personnel who've fallen on hard | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
times. And in football - what reception | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
awaits this man on Tyneside? Sold by Newcastle for �35 million? | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. In the programme tonight: | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
A new form of cyber bullying. Now junior footballers are being | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
threatened with violence on the pitch. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Also tonight - will these signs put an end to sights like these on the | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Holy Island causeway? A purpose built sanctuary is opened | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
for ex-soldiers who struggle to adapt to life back on civvy street. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
And meet the old boss. 100-year-old former head teacher, Isobelle, goes | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
back to her old school with some words of wisdom for a new | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
generation. In football - former Newcastle | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
striker, Andy Carroll, makes his first return to the club who sold | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
him for �35 million. And we're on the road to Wembley | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
with Gazza's local team and the first World Cup winners. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The FA is calling in the Government's child protection | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
experts to tackle a new problem blighting junior football - cyber- | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
bullying. It comes after reports that some matches have been | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
affected because of intimidating messages posted on social media | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
sites like Facebook. Look North has discovered that one match was even | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
abandoned because of fears for players' safety. In our region, | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
there are 47,000 youngsters playing in FA approved leagues. 18,000 in | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the FA's Durham region. 13,000 in the North Riding region, which | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
includes Teesside. 11,000 in Northumberland. And 5,000 are | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
registered with the Cumberland FA. Our chief reporter, Chris Stewart, | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
has this exclusive story. Sunday morning and one match among | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
hundreds in our region and two teams which have fair play and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
respect at the centre of everything they do. And we know why it is so | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
important to them. There's not a great deal of things out here for | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
kids. It is something to keep me busy as well as occupied them. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
says while his team have not been subject to any online bullying, he | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
knows it happens and we have been told by other coaches by Facebook | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
threats which led to a match being abandoned. We have decided not to | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
identify either team in order to protect those players who have | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
nothing to do with this incident. But what we have discovered is this. | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
Two players from an under 13 team based in South East Northumberland, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
post it threatening messages on Facebook, aimed at players from a | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Tyneside team. The Tyneside coach was so concerned he contacted his | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
opposite number. But the game on Sunday morning went ahead anyway. A | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
series of violent tackles was made, and one tackle was so bad, the | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Tyneside coach ordered his players to leave the field. Northumberland | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
FA is calling on the expertise of the Government's Child exploitation | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
and Online Protection Centre, an organisation better known for its | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
work in keeping children safe from paedophiles on the internet. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
hope to work with the Leeds at their meetings and then | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
geographically with the welfare officers. And if clubs want extra | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
help, then organisations are prepared to go in and work with the | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
clubs and probably the parents. In many cases probably the parents | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
have no idea what their kids were doing. They would be horrified if | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :03:58. | ||
they saw some of the content of the Facebook contributions. It is what | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
I believe in. The 70,000 people have been trained in how to stop | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
misuse of the internet, and says it is pleased it is able to help. The | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
organisation says it has the same goal as the FA. Happy and healthy | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
youngsters. As you might have seen in the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
national news, a woman from York has set fire to herself while | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
pouring petrol in her kitchen. 46- year-old, Diane Hill, who's from | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the Acomb area, was trying to give some to her daughter who'd run out. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
The cooker was switched on at the time and the vapours ignited. She's | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
now in hospital with 40% burns to her body. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Members of a Tyneside drugs cartel that supplied a former policeman | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
with cocaine have been jailed for a total of 30 years. Stephen Wood, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
was described as the managing director of the gang at Newcastle | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Crown Court. He was given 12 years. His brother, David, eight years. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Brian Thompson, the half-brother of former Northumbria Detective | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Sergeant, Paul Thompson, who was fined for possession yesterday was | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
handed six years. Drugs courier, Stephen Burdett, received four | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:10. | ||
years. It followed an extensive undercover police operation. As a | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
result of this investigation we have recovered substantial amounts | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
of cocaine and nearly �200,000 of cash. When we look at the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
seriousness and how many people were on the investigation, it was | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
worthwhile. We've become quite used to seeing | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
pictures like these during the summer months. Under the water is | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
the Holy Island causeway in Northumberland. Also underwater are | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
cars like this, because their drivers ignored the tide tables. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Rescues are expensive and they're on the increase. Which is why the | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
County Council is trying out a new system of warning signs. Jim Knight | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :06:01. | ||
is at the Causeway for us now. As you say, the numbers of those | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
terrible rescues that were taking place reached record numbers last | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
year. Northumberland County Council knew they had to do something. And | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
this? This is their response. This is an experiment for the first two | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
weeks, but it may be continuous throughout the summer. These | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
gigantic size, this is on the mainland side of the causeway and | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
it tells you clearly to check the tide tables. On the island side of | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
the Causeway, there is another sign and it indicates the safe crossing | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
times. There is no excuse for people not knowing. I have been | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
gauging the reaction from visitors to the new signs. It is an | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
excellent idea. Anyone who gets caught out on there should be built. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
It causes hustle for the emergency services and put other people's | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
lives in danger. People are people. I must insist, it must go further | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
on because you cannot catch it further down. If it was further | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
down, it would be great. We have looked at the timetable, so yes. I | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
know other people have gone through without looking. It makes you stop. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
That is what visitors think, what about the islanders? Just before I | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
tell you, let me show you another thing the council had put in place. | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
It is a bar code. If you have a mobile phone, connect it to the bar | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
code and it will automatically going to call up the website for | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
the tide times, which is very clever. Any one on the island can | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
have that at on their phone. But back to what the islanders think. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Cannot guarantee it will make a big difference. We have a lot of | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
rescues last year and the guys worked hard. Our aim is too | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
obviously removed or stupidity. Obviously, genuine breakdowns are | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
different, but people do drive into the sea and often knowingly there | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
was water there and ending up in a mess. I know with the tides and | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
things, it is expensive when you get a clever-clogs trying to get | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
off road through the oceans. If it saves that from happening, I know | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
there was quite a few last year, then great. But it is only a | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
particular person who does that anyhow. Are they going to be | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
listening to the big flashing signs or not? I am pleased to say we have | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
got the county council's response. People are sceptical this will work, | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
will it do the trick? It is experimental for fortnight. I urge | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
everybody so he comes here, see the thing in action. We welcome | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
comments. But they can ring in on the council's freephone number or | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
contact the website, we can move the signs, alter what they're | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
saying. It is something to highlight new visitors to the | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
island, they must check timetables. This is all about public | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
condemnation, but what if people just want to go for it anyway, the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
idiots who do that? At the end of the day you get a couple of people | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
like that. But most people are in an unusual situation and it is | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
emphasising to them they must not sure what they're doing. There will | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
be a hardcore group of people. The first week the causeway has opened, | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
it happened, and it has continued for the last 58 years. We are | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
hoping this will make people look and make sure they are safe. Will | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
have to wait and see. Now, if you've got some money, | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
we'll give you some more. But if you haven't got the cash, you're | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
getting nothing. That's the way the European Regional Development Fund | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
works. It's a pot of cash in Brussels earmarked for this region | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
and waiting to be spent. But it can only be accessed if local | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
authorities have so-called 'match funding'. So in these cash-strapped | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
times there's a real risk we'll miss out on the money on offer. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Fergus Hewison, reports. It's a high-tech space for 21st | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
century digital businesses in a former toffee factory. And it was, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
in part, funded using the European regional Growth Fund. But now | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
there's a row about the future of that fund. The process has | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
completely flatlined and we need jobs and we need growth in this | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
region and if we can use European Regional Development Fund to do | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
this, then the Government should be supporting us and finding match | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
funding. In the North East, the European Regional Development Fund | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
is worth �328 million. It's designed to promote economic growth | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
and competition. Money from the fund for projects has to be matched | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
locally by other organisations - including councils. It must be | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
allocated to projects by 2013 or the outstanding cash can be taken | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
back by Brussels. But there's still over �100 million in the pot | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
waiting to be spent. Now there are concerns some of this remaining | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
cash won't be spent before that deadline, but these claims have led | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
to accusations that Labour's scaremongering. The Coalition | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Government is on track with the spending on the fund. There's | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
around �100 million left. We have �60 million of that approximately | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
committed which leaves �40 million that we need to spend over the next | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
couple of years and some of that match funding can come from the new | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Regional Growth Fund which is very likely to be the way that we will | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
actually fund some of those projects over the next couple of | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
years. The Department that administers the fund in the North | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
East says it too is confident the fund's cash will be allocated in | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
time. But it admits the pace of spending is critical. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
And there's more on that on this weekend's Sunday Politics at 12:00 | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
noon here on BBC One. A west Cumbrian theatre with a | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
unique history is to have a multi- million-pound makeover. The Arts | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Council has earmarked �2 million towards the refurbishment of the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Rosehill near Whitehaven. It's one of only a few organisations across | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
the country to receive such support. The performance area is the only | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
one in the UK to have been designed by the famous, Oliver Messel. | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
After more than three years of planning and fundraising, a | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
purpose-built centre for ex-service personnel who've fallen on hard | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
times has been officially opened in Catterick. Joining Civvy Street can | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
prove very hard for some ex military staff. The centre gives a | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
fresh start to those that find themselves homeless. Cathy Killick, | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
reports. Open! Although the Foreign | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Secretary performed the opening honours today, the Beacon, as it | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
has known has been open six months. It has been fall from the first | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
date. Its 31 residents are all ex- military whose lives have fallen | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
apart. This gives them a home, training, health care and support | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
while they get back on track. Mike Perkins served in the Coldstream | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
Guards. He saw a colleague killed in action and suffered a severe | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
mental breakdown. The media suite has helped him find his voice. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
you could have seen me when I moved in here, I was nine stone and had | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
not eaten for days. I had no confidence, no self-esteem and | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
won't open up to it anybody. Constantly crying and having panic | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
attacks. They nursed me through it. I am so grateful to them. Compared | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
with civilians, veterans are twice as likely to have mental health | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
problems. PTSD can blight of their lives, as Paul knows only too well. | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
He did the Clearing up, his words, when his best friend shot himself | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
in the head in Northern Ireland. The repercussions were far reaching. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
I lost my wife, relationship breakdown. I lost other ties in my | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
family. Found myself on my brother's couch. Found myself on | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
the street through PTSD and life without the army. Six months here | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
and Paul is putting his past behind him. I feel positive, I am back in | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
touch with my wife. I have big plans in the security industry. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
unemployment rate for veterans is twice the national average, hence | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
the bakery. It is designed for training so they leave with a skill. | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Still to come in tonight's Look North: Jeff's here with the sport | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
news. And find out how you can watch little cuties like these | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
arriving without leaving the comfort of your computer. | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
As the weather turns cooler, I will have your forecast later in the | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
programme. She started teaching before the war | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
and retired when Ted Heath was still the Prime Minister. But today | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
Isobelle McGregor, was back in class celebrating her 100th | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
birthday by returning to the school where she'd been headmistress 40 | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
years ago. A few things have changed since then, but as Peter | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Harris reports, she was soon back in the old routine. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
The last time Isobelle was here she was the headmistress and some of | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:23. | ||
the staff were her pupils. Mind you, she wasn't a want to mess with. | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
Did you have to give many became? No, I didn't. We understood one | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
another. I think it is clear, she started out in the 1930s, teaching | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
at a middle and she got to know a young jockey, turned entertainer. | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:56. | ||
# Ago cleaning windows... George Formby had been a stable boy. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
He used to arrive for a holiday. Inevitably he visited the school. | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
What was he like? Jolly. A headship here in the Yorkshire Dales | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
followed in 1951, her reputation survives. She was very nice. I | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
think she was very strict when she was here. It is weird she is 100 | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
and we are only 10. It was rather freaky. That is really old. This is | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
the school logbook which goes back to the war, talking about when they | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
were admitting evacuees in 1940 from the towns. It includes | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
Isobelle's time, she has written an entry every day from 1951. | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
Including this one, immunised nine children against diphtheria. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
makes me happy to come back here today. I never dreamed it possible. | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:16. | ||
How kind you all are. I wonder what she thinks of Ofsted? | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
:17:26. | :17:27. | ||
We will hear about the weather soon, but first the sports news. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
An important weekend of football. Play-offs, Wembley trips and | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
European qualification coming nicely to the boil. In a Premier | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
League, how will Sunderland coach at Manchester City? What sort of | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
reception will there be on Tyneside for the play Newcastle sold for �35 | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
million? It was goals like this against | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Liverpool that persuaded the Merseysiders to smash the British | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
transfer record for Andy Carroll. Coincidentally that was scored in | :17:58. | :18:06. | |
Alan Pardew's first game. Since he was sold, the Magpies had hit new | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
heights but Andy Carroll is struggling to hit a barn door. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
is a brilliant player, there is no doubt about that. You don't get a | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
price tag of �35 million without doing something. We will welcome | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
him back with open arms, but we want to win. Injury will rob United | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
of their skipper for at least the next two games. Alan Pardew is | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
hoping Everdon don't steal away they European place. The focus is | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
:18:47. | :18:49. | ||
to try and get a Air Europa place. The semi-finals, I think if the | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
losing finalist takes a spot over the efforts of a 38 gain period, is | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
unfair. It also seems unfair to ask Sunderland to go to Manchester City. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
They did beat them on New Year's Day, but on their own patch, City | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
have won 15 out of 15 this season. We have really tough games, the | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
Easter programme with Tottenham and Everton. It does not get much | :19:16. | :19:24. | |
easier. I think there are games that if we are not focused then we | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
will suffer accordingly. Carlisle manager, Greg Abbott, has | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
called on the fans to rally round and steered them into the play-offs. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
The weekend win over Milton Keynes has left United in the 6th and | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
final play-off spot with just eight games. Tomorrow they are up against | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
Huddersfield Town who are two places above them in 4th. March's | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
results have convince people we are in with a squeak of getting in with | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
the six. If you are in the six, you are in with a chance. If you get on | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
a run and momentum, we have got that right now. We will need the | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
fans are more and more because if we can keep his momentum going we | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
are almost there. Middlesbrough who are 5th in the | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Championship, go to Brighton who are 4th. Hartlepool are hoping to | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
have looked James back in the squad, when Sheffield United are at | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
Victoria Park. The 17-year-old has been out for a month with a back | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
injury which the club has put down to growing pains. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
York City have booked their place at Wembley for the FA Trophy final | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
in May. The day after that could see two Northern League clubs go | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
head-to-head in the final of the FA Vase, one by Whitley Bay for the | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
last three years. But Dunstan and West Auckland have to win their | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
respective semi-finals. They are hoping for a capacity | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
crowd of around 2000 in this corner of County Durham tomorrow. Standing | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
in the way of a semi-final are Herne Bay. When you say World Cup | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
winners at Wembley, 1966 comes two minds. But West Auckland's Ms | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
bizarre claim to fame is twice winning the World Football Club | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
Championship in Italy just over a century today. There is always the | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
World Cup to go back to, but my memories go back to 1961 when we | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
went to Wembley. Unfortunately we lost, but a great day out. We have | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
had nothing since. This is going to be massive. Despite the history, no | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
one is getting ahead of themselves, certainly not the general manager. | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
Let's not count our chickens. These are a decent side. If we get | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
everybody from the village round here on Saturday, we will put them | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
to bed, I think. This is Wembley at the end of the day. You have to | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
make the best of it. Up the road at Dunston, a 37-year-old Northern | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
League Cup, short on history but big on ambitions. Biggest game, | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
without the shadow of a doubt. One more game, then we are going to | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
Wembley. In the home leg against Derbyshire, they nearly scored -- | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
pulled off the striker he just before the Net to the goal. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
wasn't having one of his good days, but I always knew what he could do. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
And then two minutes later he hit one in. I'm glad I did not take him | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
off. I always get in a huff when he takes me off. I always feel I am | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
going to score. After Whitley Bay's success could be a coup for the | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
Northern League? The League is that strong. We play against good teams | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
week-in, week-out and when you go around the country it but you in | :22:56. | :23:04. | |
good stead against those teams. Now, the sun is shining, newborn | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
lambs are running around the field. If you cannot lead -- leave your | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
desk, there is a web cam to a sheep pen in County Durham. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
You can see because the camera allows you to watch as they are | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
born. We have been to meet some of the fleecy newcomers. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Feeding the Lambs, these children from Newcastle enjoy a spring in | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
the countryside. Now, children a year there will be able to watch | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
Lambs as they are born with his camera in the sheds streaming live | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
on the internet. There is a camera for the Panda bears in Edinburgh | :23:49. | :23:57. | |
Zoo. I was reading about that and thought it was a good idea. Watch | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
out for a mother who is restless walking in a circle and you might | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
see the arrival of a newborn lamb. This is the newest arrival, only | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
about an hour ago. Still a bit wet and yellow. If you have never seen | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
a lamb being born, it is excellent. Most visitors have never seen | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
triplets before. They think it is unbelievable. This little girl was | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
one of the first lambs born here. With more than 100 new lambs still | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
to be born, there will be plenty more chances to see them being born | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
alive on the camera. -- life on the camera. | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
I want her as a babysitter! It is a shame the weather is going | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
:25:04. | :25:06. | ||
It is, but the morning Sunrise was glorious. Maybe we should have | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
taken Matt red tinge as a warning because it is turning cooler | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
through the weekend. It should be dry. In the evening, Sunshine to | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
end the day for most of us. Overnight the cloud spills in from | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
the north and most places end the night on a cloudy note. Light rain | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
or drizzle, nothing much more than that. A bit of a cloudy start for | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
many tomorrow. Light rain, but the cloud should lift and break up | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
nicely and for the afternoon there should be some decent sunny spells. | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
On paper it sounds like the last few days, but the big difference | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
will be the temperatures. Cooler tomorrow, and today we saw 18, 19 | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
Celsius in the east. Knock 10 degrees off bat tomorrow and it | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
gives you a ballpark figure. We might scrape into double figures in | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
land. And in parts of Cumbria you could see 12 or 13 Celsius. But all | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
in all it will feel colder. But as I said, it will state mostly dry. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
There is still a lot of cloud around as we head through the rest | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
of the weekend but still mostly dry. On Monday looks as though there | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
will be more rain and white speckles and monks there on the | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
back edge of the rain. Wintry stuff as well. Shouldn't be too surprised, | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
that is what the weather should be doing at this time of year. What we | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
have had over the last week has been exceptional. Some brightness, | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
but a notable drop in temperatures. Temperatures pick up for some of us | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
on Sunday, typically into the low teens and it should be dry with | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
bright spells. Cloud the picture for most of us on Monday and | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
temperatures take a real depth. Single figures for most on Tuesday | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
with a mix of rain and may be sleet or snow over the hills. Keep your | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
weather pictures coming, and I would like to share a big thank you, | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
but see there would like to thank but see there would like to thank | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
you. And the 2012 weather calendar rake in this phenomenal amounts for | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Children In Need. Every penny of that will make a difference to | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
young people. Thanks once again. Result! | :27:26. | :27:30. |
