:00:05. > :00:09.Welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight. The moment they thought

:00:09. > :00:15.would never come. Steel-making finally returns to Teesside after a

:00:15. > :00:18.Titanic struggle. The big new study that hopes will lead to a cure for

:00:18. > :00:22.Parkinson's disease. The man who trained a North Yorkshire horse

:00:23. > :00:26.killed in the Grand National says it was a freak accident. And back

:00:27. > :00:31.in business. A museum re-opens after the hole in the wall gang

:00:31. > :00:35.stole �2 million worth of valuable antiques. In sport a remarkable

:00:35. > :00:39.victory sees the Falcons live to fight another day, but it is D-Day

:00:40. > :00:49.for Darlington, as the Quakers go down. What does the future hold

:00:50. > :00:56.

:00:56. > :01:00.He says it was a Titanic struggle. But a struggle that brought a steel

:01:00. > :01:04.plant back to life. The chief executive of SSI spoke as steel-

:01:04. > :01:07.making finally returned to Teesside after a break of two years. The

:01:07. > :01:12.blast furnace was relit in Redcar yesterday, and the first new steel

:01:12. > :01:16.is due off the production line within the next 48-hours. So a

:01:16. > :01:22.momentous weekend, and a significant week to come. Stuart

:01:22. > :01:26.Whincup is live there for us now. This site is a sign of this area's

:01:26. > :01:33.proud industrial past. They have been making iron and steel here in

:01:33. > :01:36.Teesside for the last 170 years and once again, the blust furnace is

:01:36. > :01:40.roorg. The smoke has been rising into the sky. We have been walking

:01:40. > :01:44.round the plant and the vans and diggers have been whizzing round

:01:44. > :01:53.the site. Sending a clear message that this plant that once faced

:01:53. > :01:58.closure is very much back in business. The moment steel-making

:01:58. > :02:06.returned to Teesside. Ladies and gentlemen, the blast furnace is now

:02:06. > :02:10.on blast. The honours were performled by Wills Waterfield, the

:02:10. > :02:14.son of the late union boss Geoff Waterfield, who fought to keep the

:02:14. > :02:19.plant open. What was it like turning that on? Easier than I

:02:19. > :02:24.thought. Easier than I thought. was all Geoff wanted, everything

:02:24. > :02:34.that was, that he campaigned for. ABC Luily, we have been saying he

:02:34. > :02:38.would have been bouncing today. Itst believed to have invested 1.6

:02:38. > :02:42.billion in the site. Today is a big success, but we recognise that it

:02:42. > :02:45.is just the first step. We still have a lot of work to do. We want

:02:45. > :02:50.to build this business to be a sustainable one that will last for

:02:50. > :02:56.generations and we are committed to do that. Many of the 1600 workers

:02:56. > :02:59.who lost their jobs two years ago have been re-employed by SSI.

:02:59. > :03:02.People like Michael Burke I wanted to come back for SSI, the North

:03:02. > :03:07.East and get it going for the young people of the area. It is brilliant

:03:07. > :03:11.for the people of the area. Initially the steel made here will

:03:11. > :03:14.be shipped to Thailand where there is a demand in the car industry.

:03:14. > :03:23.The first slabs are due off the production line on Wednesday

:03:23. > :03:28.morning. I am joined by Paul Warren the khrairm of the multi-union here,

:03:28. > :03:31.the man who replaced Geoff. What did it mean to you and the other

:03:31. > :03:36.workers? Yesterday when it was lit, it meant, you know, all the

:03:36. > :03:40.families who were working for u give us that security, that we

:03:40. > :03:44.deserve. We fought hard for it. We never stopped believing. We knew it

:03:44. > :03:48.would come back one day. It is, the business is going the thrive. The

:03:48. > :03:51.wealth is going to thrive. never stopped believe something a

:03:51. > :03:56.lot of people had doubts in the dark days, are you saying hand on

:03:56. > :04:01.heart you never feared this day? can put my hand on on my heart a

:04:01. > :04:04.and say I never stopped believing. I had a good man de-- beside me

:04:04. > :04:08.that has passed away, Geoff Waterfield who made me believe that

:04:08. > :04:16.it would come back, and we campaigned, we organised, and we

:04:16. > :04:21.just made sure that we were never going to give in and Mr Wynn picked

:04:21. > :04:25.it up. It was in the pipeline but he seen the enthusiasm., what the

:04:25. > :04:31.workers co-offer. There is talk about the future, about investment

:04:31. > :04:34.coming in, more job, this must be music to your ears. It is

:04:34. > :04:42.marvellous. There will be some changes at the furnace that will

:04:42. > :04:46.bring more jobs, it is fantastic news. Well, SSI has created 1700

:04:46. > :04:50.jobs, as we heard another 100 are expected to follow in the months

:04:50. > :04:53.ahead. This isn't just good news for Redcar and the plarpbgts it

:04:53. > :05:01.will benefit many businesses in the Teesside economy as our business

:05:01. > :05:04.correspondent reports. Unlikely as it may seem, but can teedger teen

:05:04. > :05:09.worker Sharon is benefiting from the return of steel-making to

:05:09. > :05:13.Teesside. Her company feeds the work force, provides security and

:05:13. > :05:20.cleaning. She has done this nor more than 20 years and watched a

:05:20. > :05:25.the furnace was mothballed. We were all at risk, it was a worry, it was

:05:25. > :05:29.my husband and my son and they worked in the steelworks. It was a

:05:29. > :05:35.worrying time. Now the uncertainty has gone, the trickle down effect

:05:35. > :05:38.of SSI's presence can be felt. was a significant decrease to us as

:05:38. > :05:42.a business, a lot of long-term serving staff, very loyal staff

:05:42. > :05:46.lost their jobs during that period. With the restart we have managed to

:05:46. > :05:50.either bring some of those individuals back, with experience

:05:50. > :05:54.and also bring new people back into the business, to the tune of about

:05:54. > :05:58.150 people. The finished steel that comes out of the plant will be

:05:58. > :06:03.shipped from here, Tees port, another business looking to expand.

:06:03. > :06:09.We have gone for a process of employing somewhere in the order of

:06:09. > :06:13.40, 50 people, and also supporting round about 30, 40 other jobs who

:06:13. > :06:19.are subcontractor, this has taken about 80, 90 people back in to

:06:19. > :06:23.employment over the course of the last three months. SSI wants to

:06:23. > :06:33.employ 1800 people. That means about another 5,000 in the supply

:06:33. > :06:33.

:06:33. > :06:37.chain. A very big deal indeed for Teesside's economy. Well, after a

:06:37. > :06:43.day of celebration the focus is on the future, the President of SSI

:06:43. > :06:47.said his aim, his focus was to make this the most competitive to see

:06:47. > :06:51.plant in the world. Something that could be the envy of all plants

:06:51. > :06:58.every where he said that would guarantee the future for the next

:06:58. > :07:01.generation. That was his wish. Now their ultimate goal is to develop a

:07:01. > :07:05.cure, and that is why the biggest study yet into Parkinson's disease

:07:05. > :07:11.has been launched. Hospitals across the north want Parkinson's's

:07:11. > :07:14.patients to take part and 1.6 million is being pumped into the

:07:14. > :07:18.research. Here it is estimated round 5,000 people suffer from

:07:18. > :07:26.Parkinson's in the region. One in 20 is under the age of 40 and the

:07:26. > :07:32.hope is 3,000 people will take part in this huge study. We went to meet

:07:32. > :07:38.one woman who was diagnosed at the age of 35 and the leading scientist

:07:38. > :07:44.behind this project. There is no cure. Not even a test for the

:07:44. > :07:48.disease. And every hour someone in the UK is told they have

:07:48. > :07:55.Parkinson's. Vicki Dillon from Hexham was told when she was just

:07:55. > :07:59.35. I was devastated. I knew kind of what Parkinson's was but not

:07:59. > :08:03.everything. I couldn't remember it meant you died or would be in a

:08:03. > :08:07.wheelchair or what. I was floored. A neurological disorder

:08:07. > :08:13.Parkinson's's is caused when the brain cells that control movement

:08:13. > :08:18.stop working and die. The main symptoms are tremor, rigidity and

:08:18. > :08:22.slowness of movement. It was every time I lift mid hand it would shake

:08:22. > :08:27.a bit so if I was having a cup of tea it would just have a bit of a

:08:27. > :08:32.tremor. I thought this is weird and holding my hand clenched. My leg

:08:32. > :08:36.started as well. When it started I thought this is not good. She was

:08:36. > :08:40.diagnosed by this man, Professor David Burn. His work has led to

:08:40. > :08:46.this study of 3,000 people. For the first time, doctors will be able to

:08:46. > :08:51.gather a huge amount of information about the disease. I was involved

:08:51. > :08:56.in zuring the grant, round -- securing the grant, about �1.6

:08:56. > :09:02.million. The study, the largest of its kind in the world has a grand

:09:02. > :09:05.aim. It hopes to speed up the search for a cure for Parkinson's

:09:05. > :09:09.disease and it will do this if it can track down the biomarker, the

:09:09. > :09:15.small changes in the body that indicate the progression of the

:09:15. > :09:22.disease. What we look for is a trait, a marker, if you like,

:09:22. > :09:26.identify people with Parkinson's at an early stage, so if somebody went

:09:26. > :09:30.along with Parkinson's disease, the doctor might have a available a

:09:30. > :09:35.test. With her medication Vicki who has been chosen to carry the

:09:35. > :09:39.Olympic torch in Carlisle is able to live -- live life to the full.

:09:39. > :09:42.Today she welcomed news of the study in the hope se will be able

:09:42. > :09:45.to enjoy her future. I don't think of myself sitting in a chair

:09:45. > :09:50.shaking and not doing anything. There is a good chance it might

:09:50. > :09:55.happen to me. I am not going to give up because I have Parkinson's

:09:55. > :09:59.so somebody out there will find us a cure I am sure of it. Sharon is

:09:59. > :10:02.with me now. How confident are the scientists this piece of research

:10:02. > :10:09.might take them closer to finding a cure for what is a terrible

:10:09. > :10:14.disease? It is. We saw Professor burn in the report there. He said

:10:14. > :10:19.many patients dream of a cure. So to do the medics and scientists. It

:10:19. > :10:23.is a step in the right direction but a very long way to finding a

:10:23. > :10:27.cure. What they hope to find is to be able to, as he said, find a test,

:10:28. > :10:31.and if you can be diagnosed with Parkinson's early you are

:10:31. > :10:35.preserving the brain cells that would die off and you can look

:10:35. > :10:39.after them and slow down the progression of the disease, so a

:10:39. > :10:43.step in the right direction. Thank you for joining us. You can see

:10:43. > :10:53.what others are saying about that story on our Facebook page. The

:10:53. > :10:53.

:10:53. > :10:56.address is on the screen now. More news and the police officer jailed

:10:56. > :11:01.as a result of a malicious prosecution is to receive

:11:01. > :11:04.compensation of more than �800,000. A court has decided on the amount

:11:04. > :11:09.after Cleveland Police admitted liability in the case of Sultan

:11:09. > :11:13.Alam, Mr Alam was jailed in 1996 after being falsely accused of

:11:13. > :11:17.handling stolen goods. He served nine months behind bars but was

:11:17. > :11:24.cleared by the Court of Appeal. Earlier we asked him if the award

:11:25. > :11:29.in any way put things right. No. It is not, and some people may find

:11:29. > :11:34.that difficult to comprehend, but this was never about money, it was

:11:34. > :11:38.about things that don't really come with a price tag, about right,

:11:38. > :11:45.about justice, about the right of a individual to be treated as an

:11:45. > :11:49.equal, and about honour. This is a consequence of that. This evening

:11:49. > :11:54.Shawn White said the force wasn't a racist organisation and that the

:11:55. > :11:58.compensation award draws a line under the affair. The man who

:11:58. > :12:02.trained the North Yorkshire horse killed in the Grand National said

:12:02. > :12:03.it was a freak accident. The gelding called According To Pete

:12:03. > :12:07.suffered a broken shoulder after a fall at Becher's Brook and had to

:12:07. > :12:17.be put down. His owners have said they will never enter another horse

:12:17. > :12:17.

:12:17. > :12:23.in the race. It was meant to be a day of celebration. According To

:12:23. > :12:26.Pete, first ride in the race. He has a ripe chance. But for the

:12:26. > :12:30.owners of According To Pete the Grand National ended in tragedy and

:12:30. > :12:35.upset. The 11-year-old steeplechase er suffered a broken shoulder when

:12:35. > :12:39.it was brought down by another horse while jumping the Becher's

:12:39. > :12:44.Brook for the second time. On His Own is down. According To Pete has

:12:44. > :12:49.been brought down. According to the train er he was back at the stables.

:12:49. > :12:54.He said there was no other option but to have the horse put down

:12:54. > :12:58.they break bones like that, there is no, you know you can't mend them.

:12:58. > :13:03.They have to be humanely destroyed and I didn't want to go and lose

:13:03. > :13:08.Pete, but, I have to accept that we did, you know. He has been a dream

:13:08. > :13:15.to have, you know, they can't take the memories from us, we wish we

:13:15. > :13:18.still had him. We do. We do. Last month's Challenge Cup winner

:13:18. > :13:24.Synchronised was badly injured in the race and had to be destroyed.

:13:24. > :13:28.The deaths bring the number of houses in the past 50 years to 36

:13:28. > :13:33.and once again there are questions about just how safe the race is.

:13:33. > :13:38.They have done a lot at the course, and it was the, the jumps were good.

:13:38. > :13:43.He can jump. The only fault is there is too many horse, there is

:13:43. > :13:46.40 and it is maybe 250 many. Malton today followers of racing

:13:46. > :13:52.questioned if changing the Grand National would do any good. They

:13:52. > :13:57.have made it as safe as they can. It was a very big field. 40 is a

:13:57. > :14:02.lot of horse. I used to be a rider myself so I know horses do enjoy,

:14:02. > :14:06.you know competing, but I think the Grand National in particular is

:14:06. > :14:10.very very severe. At Aintree court officials have promised a review of

:14:10. > :14:18.everything that happened in the race that cost According To Pete

:14:18. > :14:23.his life. Durham University's Oriental Museum has reopened. It

:14:23. > :14:27.closed following a burglary during I was two artefacts worth �1.8

:14:27. > :14:36.million were stolen. The Ching Dynasty bowl and figurine have been

:14:36. > :14:39.recovered. Open to the public again. Children from Byers Green Primary

:14:39. > :14:44.look round Durham University's Oriental Museum. The building was

:14:44. > :14:47.shut after thieves stole the 18th century Ching Dynasty porcelain

:14:47. > :14:53.sculpture and jade bowl. They are worth almost �2 million. The police

:14:53. > :14:56.found them concealed in Brandon, near Durham. Absolute delight I is

:14:56. > :15:02.fair to say that the staff were dancing through the gal roifs the

:15:02. > :15:06.museum. I was dancing in the street. The museum has one of the fiepest

:15:06. > :15:10.collections of Chinese art and archaeology in Britain. The police

:15:10. > :15:14.believe the pieces were probably stole on the order and feared they

:15:14. > :15:19.had been taken out of the country. The bowl was carved out of a single

:15:19. > :15:24.piece of jade. Beautifully decorated with a poem in the centre.

:15:24. > :15:28.A lovely piece. We miss it like an old friend and we very much look

:15:28. > :15:31.forward to having it returned and returned to the display so

:15:31. > :15:35.thousands of people who visit the mew seems each year will have an

:15:35. > :15:40.opportunity to enjoy it again. is where the thieves broke in. The

:15:40. > :15:44.only place they could, in the outside wall of the gallery. Now

:15:44. > :15:48.builders and decorators have been in and repaired it so you would

:15:48. > :15:52.never know what happened here ten days ago. Security at the museum

:15:52. > :16:01.has been tightened. Meanwhile, detectives continue to sech for two

:16:01. > :16:04.men from the West Midlands. You are watching Look North. Still to come

:16:04. > :16:08.Dawn will join me for Team Talk. And with some parts of the country

:16:08. > :16:13.in drought condition, our water levels remain at a healthier level

:16:13. > :16:21.and are set to be topped up again this week. Join me later for the

:16:21. > :16:24.full forecast. The Conservatives have launched their manifesto for

:16:24. > :16:28.May's local elections in Carlisle. They run the City Council with

:16:28. > :16:35.support from the Liberal Democrats. But Labour only need to win three

:16:35. > :16:41.seats to seize power. Here is our political reporter. A very British

:16:41. > :16:45.battle bus trundles into town. The Conservatives are gearing up for a

:16:45. > :16:48.tough campaign. Carlisle City council is in no overall control.

:16:48. > :16:52.At present a Conservative Liberal Democrat alliance is running the

:16:52. > :16:57.council. But Labour only need to win three seats to seize power. So

:16:57. > :17:00.the pressure is on for this May's elections We accept it is a serious

:17:00. > :17:04.fight and there is a possibility Labour will take control. We want

:17:04. > :17:08.do the best for the city and the people who can do that are the

:17:08. > :17:12.Conservatives. To entice voters this year's manifesto promises to

:17:12. > :17:16.freeze council tax for the next two years, a funding reduction their

:17:16. > :17:20.are bullish about being able to cope with. We have dealt with the

:17:20. > :17:25.Government spending reduction of 20% so we have reduce the budget by

:17:25. > :17:29.20%. That is without reducing or stopping services, what we are also

:17:29. > :17:34.arguing as part of the payment we should reduce the number of

:17:34. > :17:38.councillors. We feel 52 is too many and we are looking to reduce that

:17:38. > :17:42.by about a third. That will reduce the amount of reputation that

:17:42. > :17:46.people get. Will they be able to get a good deal? I think that if

:17:46. > :17:51.you look at it it would mean three councillor, one on the County and

:17:51. > :17:54.two on the city for every ward, if you ask the public, I think they

:17:54. > :17:58.would feel that is enough representation. 17 wards in

:17:58. > :18:05.Carlisle are up for election. It is a ballot that has the potential to

:18:05. > :18:09.see all change at the City Council. And we will of course be bringing

:18:09. > :18:19.you the other party launches as we go through the election campaign.

:18:19. > :18:24.Now though, it is time for Team Talk. Starting with relegation for

:18:24. > :18:28.one of our team, ifb tabl as it was the demise of Darlington is painful.

:18:28. > :18:32.It really is. We don't know where they will be next season. If they

:18:32. > :18:36.don't escape administration by the end of May they will drop two

:18:36. > :18:40.division, bypassing the Conference North and going to the northern

:18:40. > :18:45.Premier League. Which would be grim. They were so close to a stay of

:18:45. > :18:50.execution on Saturday. They needed to beat Bath City to keep afloat

:18:50. > :18:57.for another week. Looked good for most of the game. Bath are at the

:18:57. > :19:02.bottom as well. The Quakers hadn't won in 17 games. They got a first

:19:02. > :19:06.half lead. With seven minutes to go Bath pulled one back. And two

:19:06. > :19:12.minutes from time, the goal that sent Darlington down. Agony for the

:19:12. > :19:15.fan, the players and of course the manager. Them boys could have

:19:15. > :19:20.walked away, like myself, they have stuck it out we have seen it

:19:20. > :19:24.through. We have got the ending that we feared but prayed wouldn't

:19:24. > :19:29.happen. I know we have to raise some more money. We have business

:19:29. > :19:34.proposals to put together and for investment and I am hopeful and

:19:34. > :19:39.confident we will raise the money needed. I will still be here next

:19:39. > :19:44.season. I will go away. It is our club, our town. Supported for years.

:19:44. > :19:48.Not going to stop. The result sums up the last six months. We are been

:19:48. > :19:52.going down for a long time. All I wanted them to do is to make sure

:19:52. > :19:56.we went down with a fight. We have done that. I ain't going to

:19:56. > :20:01.criticise anybody. It is a hugely disappointing afternoon for the

:20:01. > :20:10.club, but it was inevitable. you can see more on Darlington's

:20:10. > :20:14.demise on Late Kick Off at 11.05 tonight on BBC One. A youngster who

:20:14. > :20:22.was released by Darlington 12 months ago helped put Middlesbrough

:20:22. > :20:28.on the promotion trail. Darlo maybe regretting that now but Boro got

:20:28. > :20:32.their first win in nine games when it looked as if their chance had

:20:32. > :20:38.gone. Tony McMahon hit the bar but Boro had to pick up three points.

:20:38. > :20:43.Even after they are just outside the play off zone. But the gap is

:20:43. > :20:46.closing, thanks to this fabulous pass from Barry Robson and a great

:20:46. > :20:50.finish from the 19-year-old substitute. Three games left for

:20:50. > :20:56.Boro. They are at home to Doncaster then Southampton at the Riverside

:20:56. > :21:02.next weekend. A great win for Boro but the best result of the day was

:21:03. > :21:07.in Scottish Division Three. Berwick Rangers beating Alloa 5-0 at

:21:07. > :21:11.Shielfield Park. Sadly we don't have them or much else to show you

:21:11. > :21:15.from the Stadium of Light. This youngster must have been saying why

:21:15. > :21:22.have you brought me here? It was one of those game, a bit like the

:21:22. > :21:26.last home match against Spurs. 0-0, apart from a few near misses not a

:21:26. > :21:32.lot to shout about. Seb Larsson with the miss of the match late on,

:21:32. > :21:35.that would have won it. Couldn't believe it. Wolves almost nicked it.

:21:35. > :21:39.It is not only FA Cup semifinal referees who continue spot when the

:21:40. > :21:45.ball is over the line. Mike Jones the official had a good look at

:21:45. > :21:51.that one. The ball is outside the D. But he left Wolves take the corner.

:21:51. > :21:55.He had two looks at it! The referee can explain that one! It is the

:21:56. > :21:59.same in League One. It is. Carlisle have dropped out of the play off

:21:59. > :22:03.zone just at the wrong time. I doesn't help they have lost Lee

:22:03. > :22:07.Miller for the rest of the season. They are facing really tough run in

:22:07. > :22:12.as well. They are. Top of the league Charlton were at Brunton

:22:12. > :22:15.Park. Almost ruined the promotion party. Liam Noble, that effort

:22:15. > :22:19.coming off the post. Charlton won it with the only goal of the game

:22:19. > :22:26.to clinch a place back in the Championship. Ending Carlisle's

:22:26. > :22:31.nine match unbeaten run. No joy at Hartlepool despite Pools scoring

:22:31. > :22:36.their first goal in five games. Chesterfield had to win to avoid

:22:36. > :22:43.relegation and they did. Pools have lost 11 home games this season. It

:22:43. > :22:47.left the manager scratching his head. I thought, we did create more,

:22:47. > :22:54.but just, and then when you go behind, there is a bit of pressure

:22:54. > :23:00.on the boys, from me, I need strong characters who can react to that.

:23:00. > :23:05.It is frustrating the chances we created. You saw the scratch of the

:23:05. > :23:13.head. It was literally. Rugby Union finally. Relegation threatened

:23:13. > :23:21.Newcastle hadn't won at Kingsholm for 14 years. Jimmy Gopperth kicked

:23:21. > :23:28.19 of the Falcons 29 points as they moved to within 14 points of

:23:28. > :23:34.relegation rivals Wasps. A late try from Mark Wilson sealed their first

:23:34. > :23:39.victory on the road in 14 months in the league. Will the momentum be

:23:39. > :23:44.enough to see them beat Saracens? Let us hope so. Lit go down to the

:23:44. > :23:51.wire. Yet again. Time for the weather now. You may have noticed

:23:51. > :23:54.the drought is sweeping the country the drought is sweeping the country

:23:54. > :23:57.but doesn't seem to be affecting us. Think time we are the winners the

:23:57. > :24:00.north south divide. Water levels are where they should be at this

:24:00. > :24:04.time of the year and we have no real cause for concern at the

:24:04. > :24:11.moment. But they are saying don't waste it, look after what we have

:24:11. > :24:13.got. They will be coming to pinch our water won't they! Yes, the

:24:13. > :24:18.fundamental difference is that southern parts of the country have

:24:18. > :24:22.had a prolonged spell, two years almost where rainfall has been

:24:22. > :24:29.consistently below average, that has been much different in the

:24:29. > :24:34.north. We have had some spells of dry weather. Normally the rain

:24:34. > :24:38.gauge would record 47.9 millimetres on average during March but last

:24:38. > :24:42.month it didn't make a third of that. So we have had some dry

:24:42. > :24:51.months, but broadly speaking water levels are still at a healthy level

:24:51. > :24:57.here. You can see that from this shot. The waterline up to the lush

:24:57. > :25:00.green vegetation on the shore. Also Malcolm was out and about and he

:25:00. > :25:05.says there is plenty water off Wensleydale. There is more rain to

:25:05. > :25:09.come as we head through the week. Very unsettled. Low pressure, we

:25:09. > :25:14.will see rain at times and that process starts tonight, after a

:25:14. > :25:17.mostly dry day, the cloud thickening, rain spreading in

:25:17. > :25:22.through the evening and it spreads across the region overnight. It is

:25:23. > :25:26.not a warm night. Some could turn to sleet or wet snow for a time.

:25:26. > :25:32.Temperatures down were to three in a few spots. It is a wet and windy

:25:32. > :25:35.end to the night, as well as heavy rain, those gusty winds making it

:25:35. > :25:39.feel unpleasant if you are out and about through the night. Having

:25:39. > :25:43.said that it shouldn't last too long. That overnight rain should be

:25:43. > :25:46.clearing away eastwards and that leaves a mix of sunshine and

:25:46. > :25:51.showers for tomorrow. Most places should see blue sky and sunshine,

:25:52. > :25:56.probably near the North East coast seeing the more prolonged bright

:25:56. > :26:01.spells. Anywhere could see a heavy one, maybe a few hailstones, maybe

:26:01. > :26:07.a rumble of thunder. Best temperatures where we see the

:26:07. > :26:12.bright spells and we get shelter from the wind, 11 C in the east.

:26:12. > :26:16.What is making the weather so unsettled? It is this big low

:26:16. > :26:21.pressure area. Never moves very far, stays there dominates the weather,

:26:21. > :26:27.through the coming week, round it, winding band of cloud, outbreaks of

:26:27. > :26:30.showery rain and the bull of course the week a cold easterly wind. So

:26:30. > :26:35.after tomorrow's April showerer not a great deal of different for

:26:35. > :26:40.Wednesday. Most of us will see showery rain. Temperatures

:26:41. > :26:45.struggling, maybe a bit milder in the Westcarr liel there, 12C. There

:26:45. > :26:48.is not a great deal of change for the end of the working week either.

:26:48. > :26:52.Thursday and Friday showery affair, again a bit of brightness, probably

:26:52. > :26:58.some of the best of the bright innocence the west but you could

:26:58. > :27:03.see the odd heavy thundery shower. If you are interested in seeing how

:27:03. > :27:07.other parts of the country are coping you can find out on the

:27:07. > :27:13.weather website and we will keep you updated here. If the

:27:13. > :27:17.southerners want some rain they can move north! Know apology, no

:27:17. > :27:21.remorse, the man accused of Norway's summer camp massacre

:27:21. > :27:26.admits killing 77 people but says he was acting in self-defence and

:27:26. > :27:29.the first new steel is due off the production line in Redcar within
