Welcome to Friday's Look North. In tonight's headlines - the big | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
giveaway. A millionaire businessman passes his fortune over to the | :00:06. | :00:07. | |
community. His daughters will not inherit the | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
company. Of course I thought a bit about it | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
and what it meant to me, but it is the right thing to do. It is a | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
fantastic thing to do. Investigations after a 16-year-old | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
girl was found at this house and died shortly afterwards. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
A new heart for Lana - then it stopped for 63 minutes. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
This baby's a fighter and now she's heading home. And a '60s classic is | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
revived for the stage. We speak to celebrated playwright | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Lee Hall about Close The Coalhouse Door. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
In sport, it's crunch time for Newcastle Falcons in their battle | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
for premiership survival. And we meet the men winning awards | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :01:03. | ||
on the pitch, but not for their It has been called the �30 million | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
giveaway. A North East multi- millionaire has decided to invest | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
his riches in his local community rather than passing on his fortune | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
to his children. John Elliot is the boss of Ebac in County Durham. This | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
afternoon, he signed away his business. Andy Smythe joins us live | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
now from Newton Aycliffe. Andy, tell us more. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
The production line is not moving. The machines have been switched off. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
But it is only for this weekend because the future for this company | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
it is a cure for generations to come. Ebac is a business which is | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
worth around �30 million, but today, its owner, John Elliott, assigned | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
the whole they are a way for nothing to a trust. Let's have a | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
look at the moment the business was signed over. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
This is John Elliott signing away his life's work and his personal | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
fortune. These are his workers, for whom it means total job security. | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
In the current job climate, we are all very happy the way he is | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
handling things. Eggar's as job security. It is a big relief to | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
:02:35. | :02:42. | ||
know that our jobs are safe. E back makes de humidifiers and water | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
coolers. The trustees will have to make sure it is never sold now. | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:00. | ||
There are people who work here and they made this business what it is. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
It's such a fairytale that even former business minister Lord Digby | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Jones came along for a look. not every day that you hear of an | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
entrepreneur giving all his money away. If a business is going to | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
succeed, it has to persuade society that it is sustainable within the | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
community. There is nothing wrong with creating wealth, it is what | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
you do with that. Make no mistake, John Elliott's | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
vision is all about business growth. But it's some watercooler | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
conversation - did you hear the one about the multi-millionaire who | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
:03:44. | :03:45. | ||
gave away his fortune? Thanks, Andy. But what do his | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
daughters to be a think about it? That is the big question. One of | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
his daughters is the managing director here. What do you think | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
about it. I think it is fantastic. What we are doing is securing the | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
future of Ebac. It will be run in the way that we wanted to run. | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
you discuss it with your family? Not directly. But I have no doubt | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
it is the right thing. What will the foundation actually do? | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
objectives are to run this business well in this part of County Durham. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
But you are keen to keep manufacturing in this area. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Manufacturing is something that we need to do more of in the North | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
East and in the UK. That is the one thing that is going to strengthen | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
our our economy. It is your job to keep pressing forward and bring | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
their Ebac Foundation on a bed. Do you feel the pressure of this? | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
has always been the case. It is what we have to do to keep the | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
people here employed and busy and productive and making a profit. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
That does not really changed and best not to worry about that too | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
much and just concentrate on getting the job done. The next | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
thing they want to make your is washing-machines. There are no | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
washing machines it made in the United Kingdom any more. To do that, | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
they will have to get government funding from the regional growth | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
:05:36. | :05:36. | ||
fund. If they do that, they may be able to double the And you can see | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
what people are saying about this story on our Facebook page. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
A care home worker's been charged with the assault and neglect of an | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
elderly woman in York. The charges relate to the treatment of an 85- | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
year-old resident of The Lodge in Heslington. A 54-year-old woman's | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
due before York Magistrates court on May the 9th charged with assault | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
by beating and wilfully neglecting a person without capacity. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Two people are being questioned by the police tonight after the death | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
of a teenager in York. It's thought she may have taken drugs. She has | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
been named as 16-year-old Poppy Rodgers. Police say a 21-year-old | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
man is also in a serious condition in York Hospital. He is also being | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
linked with the death. Phil Bodmer has more. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
A police committee support officer stands behind a cordon as inquiries | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
continue into death of a 16-year- old girl last night. Police were | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
called to this terraced house at around half past midnight after | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
being contacted by the ambulance service to report a critically ill | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
teenager. She was rushed to your cost what will but died in the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
early hours of this morning despite the best efforts of medical staff | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
who tried to resuscitate her. The victim has been named as popular | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
Rodgers who was a student at York College. -- probably Rodgers. -- | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
:07:16. | :07:17. | ||
Poppy. First thing I knew about it is when my wife shouted to tell me | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
that there was police activity outside the house. It was all take | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
off quo stop now I have heard what has happened, it is tragic. If it | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
is drugs-related, should we have noticed more? It is absolutely | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
tragic. The poor child's parents it must be distraught. This afternoon, | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
police have revealed that a 21- year-old is also in a serious but | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
stable condition at your -- York hospital. A 26-year-old woman was | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
arrested this afternoon and is being questioned along with a 23- | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
year-old man on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
The Prime Minister has been in Cumbria today where he promised to | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
tackle what he described as snobbery against vocational | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
education. David Cameron wants to make apprenticeships a more | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
attractive alternative to university for young people. He was | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
speaking to Conservative party members near Carlisle and | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
reiterated the Government's commitment to apprenticeships to | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
address youth unemployment. Emily Unia reports. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
On the local election campaign trail. The Prime Minister rallied | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
:08:40. | :08:42. | ||
party members near Carlisle with a renewed commitment to | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
apprenticeships There's absolutely no complacency, we've got to step | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
up the pace of job creation, boost training and we've got to really | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
drive up the standards that that training involves. Mr Cameron | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
attacked what he called alphabetti spaghetti courses for wasting time | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
and money and said his government was strong on creating a real job | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
opportunities. The government has massively expanded apprenticeships. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
There is an extra �1.5 billion going into apprenticeships. Even at | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
a time when we have had to make difficult decisions elsewhere. And | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
our work programme will help every young person who has been out of | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
work find them opportunities and the jobs they need. With his | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Government under fire from all directions, David Cameron was keen | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
to highlight some Government success stories today. But with the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
local elections just around the corner, his critics are not hard to | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
find. The number of schemes that this government has rolled out | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
gives me no confidence whatsoever in this government, whether it is | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
in employment or any other area. They certainly have no awareness of | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
the needs of the people of Carlisle, either locally or nationally. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
But other city politicians were rather more keen to share ownership | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
of the drive to increase vocational training. We have increased it by | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
50% in 2010-11, as compared with the previous years and Liberal | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Democrats did push for this policy, it was one of their main planks, so | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
we've had some success in that regard. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
The Labour leader visited Carlisle at the start of the month and hot | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
on his heels comes the Prime Minister. With less than a | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
fortnight to go until the local elections, the battle to control | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Carlisle City Council is clearly intensifying. Emily Unia BBC Look | :10:12. | :10:21. | |
North Carlisle. She's been through so much in her | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
short life. The wait for a heart transplant. Then the operation. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Then a setback when her new heart stopped for 63 minutes. But now | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:58. | ||
Llana Qazi, whose family is from She is only 11 months old, but | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
seven of those moms have been spent in need of a new heart. But now she | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
has got it and will soon be going home, but that is an you challenge | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
for her. She knows that the staff here, if I am not here, she does | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
not mind at all. It will be strange for her when we take her home | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
because she just knows this as her family. They have been marvellous. | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
Another success story for Freeman Hospital, but what if the unit that | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
saved her was too close? Would it be met same success, different | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
:11:48. | :11:50. | ||
location? No. You would need about 10 or 20 years to create the same | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
:12:00. | :12:01. | ||
team that we have here. She has been through a lot. She has been in | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
so many bad places, such a bad situation. She was very poorly. But | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
:12:19. | :12:26. | ||
now, yes. Yes, see for yourself. A Government decision to sell off | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
council houses at a reduced rate in our region has been criticised. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
From this month, thousands of tenants here are able to buy their | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
council homes more cheaply. Ministers say reviving the Right to | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
Buy policy will encourage more people onto the property ladder. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
But Darlington Council is worried the move will worsen the housing | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
shortage. Our political reporter Luke Walton has more. | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
1987. Madonna was in the charts. Mrs Thatcher won a third term. And | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
the Goodchilds bought their Middlesbrough council house. It was | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
about security, about getting on the property ladder and the fact | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
that I loved were arrested. I love it here other wanted to buy a house | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:18. | ||
here. -- I loved where I stayed. But after its '80s and '90s heyday, | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
the numbers using their right to buy have fallen. So the Coalition | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Government wants to give the policy another lease of life. They are | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
increasing the discount for buyers from �22,000 in the north east to | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
�75,000 below the market value. Ministers talk of encouraging more | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
people on to the property ladder. But here in Darlington, the council | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
worries that the homes sold will be hard to replace. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
We have 15 or 18 properties we advertise every week and we get | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
about 400 people applying for those properties. If we are going to sell | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
our most popular properties, that will cause problems. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Ministers promise for every council house sold, a new affordable home | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
will be built. But in the past, Right to Buy has been blamed for | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
worsening the housing shortage. And there remains a fear that the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
policy's revival will make the situation worse. Luke Walton, BBC | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Look North, Darlington. There's more on this story in | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
Sunday Politics this week, on at the later time of 2pm on BBC One. | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
There's plenty more to come in tonight's Look North. Dawn's here | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
with the weekend sport. There's national awards for Carlisle and | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Middlesbrough despite disappointing results. | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
And make the most of the bright spells while the last and try to | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
avoid those big, black shower clouds. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
It's a play about gutsy, northern spirit and strikes at the very | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
heart of the North East. Alan Plater's classic work Close The | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Coalhouse Door made its debut more than four decades ago and has now | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
been revived for the Tyneside stage by two leading lights of British | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
:15:06. | :15:07. | ||
theatre. Here's our arts reporter Sharuna Sagar. My man is a union | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
:15:17. | :15:19. | ||
man. This isn't history, this is family. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Alan Plater's celebrated 1968 play Close the Coal House Door runs | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
:15:32. | :15:44. | ||
through the North East like a rich The latest version, a co-production | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
between Newcastle's Northern Stage and Live Theatre, is in memory of | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
the late playwright, a friend and mentor of Lee Hall of Billy Elliot | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
and The Pitmen Painters fame, he was brought in to bring the play up | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
to date. It is one of the first place that I came across that | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
really expressed what it is like to be a Geordie. It is funny. It is | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
really funny. The people are like people that you know. There will be | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
someone in your family who is like one of the characters. It is smart, | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
it is intelligent, it is witty and moving. It's a story based in a | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
mining community, but it isn't just about pitmen. And as art imitates | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
life and life imitates art, the play has great relevance today. | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
When we started this play, we thought it would be a proper way of | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
remembering and honouring a disappearing and murdered industry. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
But also, the same thing seems to be happening nowadays that was | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
happening at the time. People exploiting those who work hardest | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
for least. It is a play dealing with austerity, political control | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
that comes from down south and from Westminster, and it deals with how | :17:02. | :17:11. | |
people up here resisted that. us is not just a story for the | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
people who lived here, it is a way of life, it is a memory and it is | :17:16. | :17:26. | |

Time for sport and a very important night for Newcastle Falcons but, | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
first, what's with the silly glasses, Dawn? | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Yes, they're not the latest fashion accessory, clearly, but you'll need | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
a pair of these if you're going to be reading the Newcastle programme | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
this weekend because it's in 3D. They are the first Premier League | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
club to produce their programme in this format. It's just a one off, | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
but it's actually quite effective. Well, Newcastle could find | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
themselves in a Champions League spot this time tomorrow if they | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
beat Stoke on Tyneside. As you can see, Arsenal's defeat on Monday has | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
left the Magpies handily placed for Europe's top table. Of course, | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
fourth might still not be enough to guarantee it. After five wins in a | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
row, United are on a roll, but after watching Stoke this season, | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
they appreciate only too well what effect European football could have | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
on their next league season. They have done exceptionally well. You | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
cannot say that that Europa League has not put paid to a position, a | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
better position in their Premier League. Stoker would be higher in | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
the leak. In some ways, we are trying to go past their | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
achievements. But this European qualification is about as | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
complicated as it gets. Martin O'Neill is confident he can | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
achieve with Sunderland what he did at Aston Villa and establish them | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
as a top-six club. O'Neill tomorrow returns to Villa Park for the first | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
time since his untimely exit just five days before the start of the | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
Premier League season in August 2010. The 4th here turned a little | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
bit sour, I must admit, and that is unfortunate. Ironically, it | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
happened to be our most successful year as well. I have very fond | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
memories of the police, but I am part of Aston Villa's past now and | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
they hope to be part of Sunderland's future. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
Meanwhile Sunderland have been fined �30,000 by the FA for | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
misconduct after several players surrounded the referee during the | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
3-all draw at Manchester City. Elsewhere mid-table Hartlepool are | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
at Tranmere. And it's an away day in the Conference Premier for play- | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
off hopefuls York City and Gateshead. | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
Disappointing midweek results have left their promotion play-off hopes | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
hanging by a thread. But both Middlesbrough and Carlisle have | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
been able to boast national awards - for their groundsmen. Mark Tulip | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
explains. With Carlisle at high-flying | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow, the groundsman of the year Dave | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
Mitchell and his team have a bet of respite to prepare the pitch for | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the final game of the season. The winter was not as bad as feared, | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
but David is staring at the finishing line of a long campaign. | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
It can be a long haul. But we knuckle down as a team and get on | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
with it and work with the manager. But as you can see here today, we | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
have just about got here. Whether that is in league one or the | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
Championship remains endowed. Middlesbrough may have blown their | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
promotion prospects, but they cannot blame the pitch. When they | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
give this award, things like location are taken into | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
consideration. We are in the North East of England, we often get snow | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
and it is not always very pleasant. But these things we have to deal | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
:21:38. | :21:48. | ||
with as groundsman -- groundsmen. The Falcons last home game of the | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
season tonight will be a real nailbiter. Off the back of their | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
first victory at Gloucester in 14 years, the league's bottom club | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
take on reigning champions Saracens. But momentum and belief might not | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
be enough if Newcastle don't do at least as well as relegation rivals | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Wasps, as the teams play each other on the final day of the season. | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Bottom of the league, four points adrift, you might expect doom and | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
gloom, but not at all! New kit, new shirt sponsor, new belief - the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
mood is upbeat. The future is looking very bright at Newcastle. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
It is a good team to be a part of. We have to make sure that we are in | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
the right place next year to go forward in the Premiership. | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
They are a team transformed under Gary Gold and the others, but they | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
can't afford to dwell on last weekend's victory at Kingsholm. | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Although external factors may yet save their premiership status, the | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Falcons would rather save themselves and they are hoping the | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
Kingston Park factor might make a difference. It is a very difficult | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
place to come a way to, it is a long distance for the London boys | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
to come to. We have got a fantastic crowd to get behind us. It is | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
normally not warm in Newcastle on a Friday night, so those are fighters | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:05. | ||
they will have to deal with. -- those are factors. It is only a | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
tenner a ticket, so we hope to get 10,000 into the park. That will be | :23:09. | :23:18. | |
massive of -- of massive it. Cricket and after rain prevented | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
any play yesterday, Durham had a fantastic start this morning to | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
their County Championship game against Middlesex - reducing the | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
home side to three for three at one stage before they steadied the ship. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
And Yorkshire have taken a commanding lead in their game | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
:23:39. | :23:40. | ||
against Essex. If it the look behind us here, that | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
is a clue about the weather forecast. We have sent Paul up on | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
:23:55. | :23:55. | ||
I have managed it to avoid the showers so far. If you are out and | :23:55. | :24:05. | |
:24:05. | :24:07. | ||
about over the weekend, you must factor the showers into your plans. | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
:24:17. | :24:18. | ||
The meeting at Newcastle Racecourse has been postponed. Sunday, there | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:28. | ||
will be our charity football match and family day... There will be | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
some sunshine over the weekend, but more of these heavy showers that we | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
have seen over the last few days. This evening and overnight, there | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
are some heavy showers around. Some big black clouds around. And it | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
will be a chilly night. 5 or six Celsius in the cities, two or three | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
degrees in outlying areas. Some brightness first thing in the | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
morning, but the shower clouds will soon get going again and they will | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
be widespread showers. That will also be a slow-moving and there | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
could be some thunder and hail in amongst them. Temperatures up to | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
about 12 Celsius. The low pressure that has kept this changeable | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
weather is gradually starting to move to the east through the course | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
of the weekend. So the showers might die away, but by Monday, the | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
:25:39. | :25:39. | ||
next Atlantic Lord moves in with its weather front and the rain. | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Monday stars of dry but becomes wet and windy from the south-west of | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:53. | ||
throughout the course of the day. Keep the umbrella handy. | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Thanks Paul. Now for a last look at tonight's headlines. The Bahraini | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
government and Formula One bosses have insisted this weekend's Grand | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Prix will go ahead despite renewed clashes between security forces and | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
anti-government protestors. And a North East millionaire has | :26:04. | :26:07. |
