:00:00. > :00:10.Welcome to Friday's Look North. In the programme tonight: Pamela
:00:10. > :00:16.Jackson's killer is found guilty of manslaughter. Tonight, one of the
:00:16. > :00:19.detectives who brought him to justice reveals to Look North the
:00:19. > :00:22.complicated trail that led to his conviction. Also tonight, the Prime
:00:22. > :00:25.Minister tells us the North East's economy is recovering, but says the
:00:25. > :00:29.region needs to build on success stories like Nissan.
:00:29. > :00:32.Surgery pioneers celebrate the opening of the UK's first Institute
:00:32. > :00:37.of Transplantation, at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital.
:00:37. > :00:40.And Lyndon Longhorn's dreams of Paralympic glory move closer, as
:00:40. > :00:50.he's fitted with hi—tech artificial limbs.
:00:50. > :00:57.In sport we look ahead to some of the weekend's big fixtures. And in
:00:57. > :01:06.life after Di Canio, could a victory over Liverpool help Kevin Ball get
:01:06. > :01:10.the Sunderland job? She was battered to death and her
:01:10. > :01:14.body, hidden in a shallow grave more than100 miles away from her home in
:01:14. > :01:18.County Durham. Pamela Jackson met her killer, Adrian Muir, through an
:01:18. > :01:21.online dating site. He buried her with flowers, and even recorded an
:01:21. > :01:26.apparent confession on his mobile phone. But Muir, from Halifax in
:01:26. > :01:30.West Yorkshire, denied murder. Today a jury accepted that plea but
:01:30. > :01:33.convicted him of manslaughter. In a moment, more on the massive police
:01:33. > :01:36.operation that brought him to justice. First, Gerry Jackson has
:01:36. > :01:42.this report from Newcastle Crown Court.
:01:42. > :01:48.55—year—old Pamela Jackson, a loving mother of three, but with a string
:01:48. > :01:54.of unhappy relationships behind her. By March two, she had been seeing
:01:54. > :01:57.Adrian Muir for around a year. It was the day she vanished. Her
:01:57. > :02:03.remains were found nearly three months later in a grave and the west
:02:03. > :02:10.Yorkshire Moors, more is that Adrian Muir admitted he knew well. Adrian
:02:10. > :02:15.Muir denied her murder. He said they had a row after she wanted him to
:02:15. > :02:19.inject Botox into her face. At his trial, the jury was told only the
:02:19. > :02:29.killer knew exactly what had happened in the moment she met her
:02:29. > :02:34.death. Mobile phone records place Adrian Muir very near the grave site
:02:35. > :02:39.and two separate evenings. Some prints were taken from a carrier bag
:02:39. > :02:48.that was placed on top of Pamela's body, and samples of soil matching
:02:48. > :02:56.the grave were found in the car of Adrian Muir. Here, a supermarket
:02:56. > :02:59.security camera catches him trying to wipe away evidence of Pamela's
:02:59. > :03:02.last journey, tied up in a bloodstained duvet. While sitting in
:03:02. > :03:09.his car, Adrian Muir recorded a memo on his mobile phone, a confession
:03:09. > :03:21.the court heard. She got my knife. I got it off her. It was a disaster. I
:03:21. > :03:26.am heartbroken. I can't live. To date the jury found Adrian Muir
:03:26. > :03:31.guilty, not of murder, but manslaughter. There were gasps and
:03:31. > :03:36.tears in the public gallery. He will be sentenced on Monday.
:03:36. > :03:41.So how did the police find Pamela Jackson's body? They'd arrested
:03:41. > :03:45.Adrian Muir and charged him with murder, and a judge had set a date
:03:45. > :03:50.for his trial. But at that stage, they had no idea how he'd disposed
:03:50. > :03:56.of his victim. And if they didn't find her, they knew their case
:03:56. > :03:59.against him wouldn't be as strong. One of the detectives who led the
:03:59. > :04:02.investigation has been back to the site of Pamela's grave with our
:04:02. > :04:10.Chief Reporter, Chris Stewart, to explain what led them to their
:04:10. > :04:15.discovery. The main thing that brought us up to
:04:15. > :04:20.this area was the seven—day test. We analysed an iPhone which showed
:04:20. > :04:28.mercy had been in the time after his —— after her death. We had quite an
:04:28. > :04:32.area of this road to concentrate on, so that is where we started. As we
:04:32. > :04:38.were searching we try to narrow down where we believed she had been
:04:38. > :04:43.buried. The truth of the matter is, you could still be searching for her
:04:43. > :04:49.body, because this is a huge area. It is a massive area. At the time,
:04:49. > :04:54.we did not know where he had buried her or if he had disposed of her
:04:54. > :04:59.body. You used specialist dogs to pinpoint the grave. Tell me about
:04:59. > :05:04.that. We were very grateful to the South Yorkshire police. In this
:05:04. > :05:09.instance, we knew that we were looking for a deceased body. The
:05:09. > :05:14.dogs are trained to detect a scent given off of a grave, and very
:05:14. > :05:21.quickly they located but we believed from initial inspection was the
:05:21. > :05:28.grave. And there was something very odd on top of Pamela's body as well.
:05:28. > :05:38.Yes. There were carnations that have been laid across her torso to shock
:05:38. > :05:43.her torso. —— torso. That just strengthen our case against him. He
:05:43. > :05:47.continued right to the end saying that it was not him. How did he
:05:47. > :05:52.think he would get away with it? As you heard throughout the court case,
:05:52. > :05:59.the fibre evidence, the fingerprint found in the gate —— grave, it all
:05:59. > :06:03.just build layers of a very strong case against him. Whether he has
:06:03. > :06:07.convinced himself he hasn't done it, who knows? He also recorded what
:06:07. > :06:12.might have been a suicide note in which he apparently confesses to the
:06:12. > :06:17.crime. He said he did a terrible thing as part of the message that he
:06:17. > :06:20.recorded the night after we believe Pamela died. Sadly, we will never
:06:20. > :06:21.know what was going through his head because we still do not know what
:06:21. > :06:35.happened to Pamela. Only he knows. The Prime Minister claims the North
:06:35. > :06:40.East's economy is recovering, despite the area having the highest
:06:40. > :06:43.unemployment rate in Britain. But David Cameron says the region's
:06:43. > :06:47.strong export figures, and success of large firms like Nissan, must be
:06:47. > :06:50.built on. Our Political Correspondent, Mark Denten,
:06:50. > :06:54.interviewed him ahead of next week's Conservative Party conference and
:06:54. > :06:57.joins me now. So we've heard it said the economy's turning the corner,
:06:57. > :07:00.but the North East still has the highest unemployment rate in the
:07:00. > :07:03.country. Why does the Prime Minister think things are picking up for the
:07:03. > :07:06.region? Well, essentially, the message from David Cameron is, yes,
:07:07. > :07:10.we know about the figures. The 10.4% unemployment rate in the region, the
:07:10. > :07:13.low level of new businesses starting up, but there are signs things are
:07:13. > :07:20.going in the right direction. Only today, a report from Nationwide said
:07:20. > :07:28.house prices rose 8% in a year. But it's still mixed prices in Carlisle,
:07:28. > :07:31.dropped by 2%. The PM says he's not complacent but things the region's
:07:31. > :07:38.economy is heading in the right direction. These early days and
:07:38. > :07:43.difficult times, but the number of people claiming unemployment
:07:43. > :07:48.benefits in the North East is down. The number of people claiming an
:07:48. > :07:52.important benefit is down 10,000 on the year. There are 70,000 more
:07:52. > :07:56.people working in the private sector than there were when we came to
:07:56. > :08:00.power. Many more small businesses have started. We need this recovery
:08:00. > :08:07.to build. We needed to be a recovery for everybody. How do we help make
:08:07. > :08:10.that happen? In One other issue that's got a lot of people steamed
:08:10. > :08:13.up over the summer, Conservative peer Lord Howell's comments about
:08:13. > :08:20.what he called a "desolate" North East. —— What did David Cameron have
:08:20. > :08:23.to say about that? Well, Lord Howell made those comments about fracking,
:08:23. > :08:26.talking about what he called "the uninhabited and desolate areas in
:08:26. > :08:29.part of the North East" where he said there's plenty of room for
:08:29. > :08:32.fracking. He later revised his comments saying he meant Lancashire,
:08:32. > :08:35.but Labour leader Ed Miliband says the comments show what the
:08:35. > :08:38.Conservatives really think about the North East. I do not accept that for
:08:38. > :08:41.a moment. What I thought I heard at the conference last week is that
:08:41. > :08:48.they were going cold on the idea of this vital new North—South railway
:08:48. > :08:56.line which will link our great seek Eschbacher cities. You think that
:08:56. > :09:01.does not sum up the feelings of the region? Some of our absolutely most
:09:01. > :09:07.vital businesses are in the North East. I want to see the North East
:09:07. > :09:10.economy recover. We are making a start with the number of people
:09:10. > :09:19.employed and the claimant count coming down but there is a long way
:09:19. > :09:22.to go. Well, you can hear that full interview with the Prime Minister on
:09:22. > :09:25.Sunday Politics this coming Sunday morning at 11, where you can also
:09:25. > :09:30.hear David Cameron's thoughts on the situation at Cumbria's hospitals.
:09:30. > :09:33.Thank you for coming in. It's been decided that Ingleby Barwick on
:09:33. > :09:34.Teesside will be getting a free school.
:09:34. > :09:37.Stockton Council had initially refused to grant planning permission
:09:37. > :09:40.for the school building and a further 350 homes. But now,
:09:40. > :09:43.following a public inquiry, the Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles,
:09:43. > :09:51.has overruled that decision and the school will be built.
:09:51. > :09:54.A new Institute of Transplantation was officially opened in Newcastle
:09:54. > :09:58.today by two of the world's most distinguished surgeons. The facility
:09:58. > :10:03.has been built at the Freeman Hospital, and is the only dedicated
:10:03. > :10:06.centre of its kind in the UK. The guests of honour were transplant
:10:06. > :10:12.pioneers who led the way in Europe from the late 1960s. Damian O'Neil
:10:12. > :10:15.reports. Professor John Wallwark and
:10:15. > :10:18.Professor Sir Roy Calne's records of surgical achievements are too long
:10:18. > :10:20.to list, but between them they carried out Europe's first liver
:10:20. > :10:23.transplant, first heart and lung transplant, and the world's first
:10:23. > :10:25.liver, heart and lung transplant. There was no mistaking their
:10:26. > :10:33.approval of Newcastle's new institute. In Newcastle, people
:10:33. > :10:39.really work together from all those different directions and they have
:10:39. > :10:43.one objective, to produce a place where people could meet each other
:10:43. > :10:47.and look after patients, the research would come and be
:10:47. > :10:51.discussed. I have been around the facility and I was extremely
:10:51. > :10:56.impressed. Excellent facilities and first—class nurses. The recent
:10:56. > :11:00.government decision to halt the review of children's heart surgery
:11:00. > :11:04.has left a? Over the Freeman, so is today a way of keeping the
:11:04. > :11:10.hospital's profile on the radar? You cannot have too many places doing
:11:10. > :11:14.too few infants or children, because if you do not have the
:11:14. > :11:18.infrastructure to provide the number of people to look after them...
:11:18. > :11:25.There needs to be some sort of rationalization, where it will be
:11:25. > :11:30.and so forth. It just demonstrates how we get on with the job in the
:11:30. > :11:34.North East. We see the politics come and go, but as they say in the
:11:34. > :11:42.Northwest —— as they say in the North East, we are getting on with
:11:42. > :11:52.it. You could argue that such a high—profile event was not going to
:11:52. > :11:56.chance us any harm. The turnout was a disappointment at
:11:56. > :11:59.just 15%. But the people of Middlesbrough have voted to keep
:11:59. > :12:03.their elected mayor. Just over 15,000 voted in the referendum, and
:12:03. > :12:09.more of them chose to keep the current system, than to return to an
:12:09. > :12:13.elected council leader and cabinet. A new mayor will be chosen when Ray
:12:13. > :12:17.Mallon stands down in May 2015. This was never going to be a long
:12:17. > :12:21.night for those counting. Just 15% of people in Middlesbrough who could
:12:21. > :12:36.vote actually did. The result came just before one o'clock. Those who
:12:36. > :12:52.voted for the mayor, 8674. Those who voted for a litre, 6004 in June and
:12:52. > :12:56.55. 6455. —— 6455. Delight for Andy Preston the man with ambitions of
:12:56. > :13:00.becoming Middlesbrough's next mayor. I am pleased, relieved, and
:13:00. > :13:05.Middlesbrough really needed a single, accountable leader and we
:13:05. > :13:09.will have one. Labour had campaigned against elected mayors, but will now
:13:09. > :13:15.look to find its own candidate to stand. Do you accept you have lost?
:13:15. > :13:19.I think it is the people of Middlesbrough expressing their vote.
:13:19. > :13:24.It is of the question of winning or losing. The people have made this
:13:24. > :13:30.very clear as far as I am concerned. It will be sometime before we know
:13:30. > :13:36.who the new will be. The current mayor does not stand down until May
:13:36. > :13:42.2015, so expect the campaign to replace him to be a long one.
:13:42. > :13:53.Three North East factories are on the short list for the 2013 Best
:13:53. > :13:55.Factory award. Two of the contenders are from Blyth, Tharsus, which makes
:13:56. > :14:00.electro—mechanical products, and Milliken Airbag products. Teesside's
:14:00. > :14:03.represented by a factory that makes tea bags. It's based at
:14:03. > :14:07.Eaglescliffe, owned by the Indian company, Tata, and makes tea bags
:14:07. > :14:10.quicker and more cheaply than any other plant within the group,
:14:10. > :14:14.including those in India. Tetley has made tea bags made tea at
:14:14. > :14:16.this factory since 1969. And it generates some impressive
:14:16. > :14:23.statistics. The Teesside plant makes about 290 million tea bags every
:14:23. > :14:35.week. It sells into 70 countries. And it supplies about half the tea
:14:35. > :14:39.that all Canadians drink. And it could soon have the Factory of the
:14:39. > :14:42.Year award to boast about. It's on the short list as recognition that
:14:42. > :14:45.it's a place of lean manufacturing. Its parent is the Indian
:14:45. > :14:48.conglomerate Tata. But it makes tea bags faster, quicker and cheaper
:14:48. > :14:51.than any other factory in the group. So how do is it do it? Make the
:14:51. > :14:55.equipment run faster, more efficiently, and from that aspect,
:14:55. > :15:02.the direct Labour content involved in processing a tonne of tea for us
:15:02. > :15:07.is considerably less than it is in India or the Czech Republic. 60
:15:07. > :15:18.robots help too. But they mean that over the years, people have lost
:15:18. > :15:21.their jobs. Robots, though, can't yet do this, taste the blends of tea
:15:21. > :15:25.from China, India, South Africa, Argentina. But on the factory floor
:15:25. > :15:28.it's different. And the task for this plant now is to make more
:15:28. > :15:31.products faster, become yet more productive. If it does, it can look
:15:31. > :15:34.forward to further investment, and being here, appropriately enough on
:15:34. > :15:43.Teesside, for many more years to come. Coming up next, the latest on
:15:43. > :15:47.Lyndon Longhorn's road to Rio. And when the going gets tough — bring
:15:47. > :15:52.out the volunteers. How a touch of do it yourself is transforming a
:15:52. > :15:57.tiny Cumbrian school. And it looks like it will be a good
:15:57. > :16:03.weekend. I will be here with all the details of where to catch the very
:16:03. > :16:06.best of the northern sunshine. Lyndon Longhorn lost both his legs
:16:06. > :16:10.and an arm when he contracted meningitis at just eight months old.
:16:10. > :16:16.Now, he's training hard for a spot on the Paralympic swimming team.
:16:16. > :16:20.We've been following his progress. And today, the teenager from Crook
:16:20. > :16:23.in County Durham moved a bit closer to that goal, when he had hi—tech
:16:23. > :16:27.prosthetic limbs fitted at Lancashire's Specialist Limb Centre.
:16:27. > :16:29.Megan Paterson went with him. Lyndon's first practice with his
:16:29. > :16:39.lighter, more flexible, comfortable legs. Legs he's certain will make a
:16:39. > :16:46.massive difference: —— difference. They will make a massive difference.
:16:46. > :16:51.They were starting to get tight and eight and I did not want to be in
:16:51. > :16:55.them. I had to motivate myself to get walking. Now that I have this
:16:55. > :16:59.new pair, it will make a massive difference. What will you be able to
:16:59. > :17:05.do that you did not do before? Hopefully they will let me dry, so
:17:05. > :17:09.that will be more motivation for myself to be more independent. His
:17:09. > :17:16.infectious enthusiasm and determination has gained Lyndon many
:17:16. > :17:20.supporters. One of the more recognisable was keen to see his new
:17:20. > :17:24.legs in action. I have known him for five years now, and to watching
:17:24. > :17:39.today, hopefully walking for the first time with his new legs and no
:17:39. > :17:41.crutches, it will be —— phenomenal. Lydon's mum Tammy says she's
:17:41. > :17:45.overwhelmed by what Lyndon's achieved over the last 17 years, but
:17:45. > :17:48.for her son it's simply a question of attitude. You have got to have a
:17:48. > :17:51.go at everything. Even if you have something thrown at you, you cannot
:17:51. > :17:55.say you cannot do something. You do not know until you actually try. It
:17:55. > :18:00.is a can—do attitude. You have to keep going and the yourself forward.
:18:00. > :18:04.I always say to myself, believe and achieve. You have to just keep
:18:04. > :18:10.going. A torch bearer in 2012, Lyndon narrowly missed out on a spot
:18:10. > :18:14.on the Paralympic team. Now he's determined to be in the pool in Rio
:18:14. > :18:19.in three years time and his new legs will help him take on that
:18:19. > :18:25.challenge. An amazing young man. Now, we all
:18:25. > :18:28.know money is tight these days. But one West Cumbrian school has come up
:18:28. > :18:31.with a do—it—yourself solution to the problem of how to accommodate a
:18:31. > :18:34.40% increase in pupils. Flimby Primary, near Maryport, has
:18:34. > :18:38.persuaded volunteers and local businesses to help expand its
:18:38. > :18:45.classroom space. This school report from Mark McAlindon.
:18:45. > :18:49.These volunteers are all employees of a major hardware outfit and are
:18:49. > :18:55.hoping to have this space painted by the end of the day. It is a tough
:18:55. > :18:59.world and money is tight. If I can do that, I think it is really great
:18:59. > :19:04.that we can do something to help them. The government is not helping
:19:04. > :19:10.out and money is so tight, so I do not mind giving my time. This math
:19:10. > :19:16.class has 24 peoples, but next year will have to house at 30. Space is
:19:16. > :19:21.at a premium here, and the school must manage its costs. Teachers have
:19:21. > :19:25.got their pay rise for the first time this time for three years, said
:19:25. > :19:30.that is reflected in the number of children. We need more teachers for
:19:30. > :19:34.more children. That is where the majority of our budget goes. This is
:19:34. > :19:39.an old building that needs a lot of maintenance. It is really tight. An
:19:39. > :19:44.old bike shed was converted the summer into the new library. When
:19:44. > :19:47.looking for more space, they have little choice. This derelict
:19:47. > :19:52.building was once part of the school, it was the headteacher's
:19:52. > :19:55.house, but it was sold off by the local authority some years ago.
:19:55. > :20:01.Teachers are now saying that if they could get this space back, it would
:20:01. > :20:03.ease the pressure on an expanding role. They are now having to
:20:03. > :20:08.refurbish and used parts of the school and outbuildings. Lately, the
:20:08. > :20:13.school has gone from 112 children to more than 150. It is hoped they will
:20:13. > :20:23.all have space now to learn and play. With a good idea! Time for
:20:23. > :20:29.sport. —— what a great idea! What a big weekend and so many levels.
:20:29. > :20:32.Absolutely huge. Sunderland take on Liverpool on Sunday in their first
:20:32. > :20:37.Premier League game since Paolo Di Canio was sacked. Gus Poyet is still
:20:37. > :20:41.the bookies favourite to take over but if the Black Cats get a result
:20:41. > :20:46.this weekend it'll do caretaker boss Kevin Ball's chances no harm at all.
:20:46. > :20:51.We have all been there. It gets better, I promise. It might not do
:20:51. > :20:56.for him in the short term. The very next day a players revolt saw Di
:20:56. > :20:59.Canio ousted. Under—21 boss and former captain Kevin Ball oversaw
:20:59. > :21:03.the midweek victory in the League Cup and he's no stranger to the role
:21:03. > :21:06.having taken charge for ten games following the departure of Mick
:21:06. > :21:10.McCarthy in 2006. He's made no secret of the fact he'd like the job
:21:10. > :21:15.full time but admits he hasn't formally applied for the role. It
:21:15. > :21:21.would be difficult to job —— apply for a job I am already in. Have I
:21:21. > :21:25.firmly said I want the job as such, I still speak with everybody here
:21:25. > :21:28.and they are aware of what is going on with the job. Ball may have to
:21:28. > :21:31.fight his own corner. Bookies favourite Gus Poyet is quoted in a
:21:31. > :21:35.national newspaper as saying "my opportunity to manage Sunderland is
:21:35. > :21:40.there. I am waiting nervously". If the club chooses to go down that
:21:40. > :21:44.route, that is their idea. I am not going to watch the news or read the
:21:44. > :21:49.papers. I like watching the news, but people just get fixated. It is
:21:49. > :21:52.just life, isn't it? Are the players out to prove a point against
:21:52. > :21:57.Liverpool after being publically criticised by Paolo Di Canio? If
:21:57. > :22:01.that is how they feel, good on them. That is if they feel that way. That
:22:01. > :22:06.is their prerogative. If they want to do that and they have a point to
:22:06. > :22:09.prove that is up to them. Elsewhere, in the Championship,
:22:09. > :22:12.Middlesbrough face a tough test away to early leaders Queens Park Rangers
:22:12. > :22:15.tomorrow. In League One, Carlisle are at home to struggling Notts
:22:15. > :22:18.County. Hartlepool host Oxford in League Two while York City are at
:22:18. > :22:23.home to Portsmouth. It's a big weekend for Newcastle
:22:23. > :22:26.Falcons. They've already had two of their toughest tests against
:22:26. > :22:29.Leicester Tigers and Bath and must now front up at home to Gloucester.
:22:29. > :22:32.Falcons are switching the bulk of their fixtures from Friday nights to
:22:32. > :22:41.Sunday to try to boost attendances, Peter Harris reports: —— reports.
:22:41. > :22:44.They're the club flying the flag for professional rugby in our region,
:22:44. > :22:50.which is why from this week they'll be on their Sunday best. Moving to a
:22:50. > :22:54.Sunday gives everybody the opportunity to come and watch the
:22:54. > :22:59.game, and hopefully we will get a good crowd. It has been important to
:22:59. > :23:03.attract people from remote parts of our regions, so be it the borders or
:23:03. > :23:07.North Yorkshire, these are interesting times. These are
:23:07. > :23:10.interesting times for Rugby Union. Falcons are supporting the planned
:23:10. > :23:15.Champions Cup, a breakaway competition to replace the existing
:23:15. > :23:17.Heineken Cup. And this week the deputy chairman of Premiership Rugby
:23:17. > :23:25.claimed some Celtic clubs face oblivion if it doesn't go ahead.
:23:25. > :23:28.Something has to be done about that. Financially or from a competitive
:23:28. > :23:35.landscape. Let's look at the positive here. I think everybody
:23:35. > :23:38.will get behind this. On the field after last week's predictable defeat
:23:38. > :23:41.at Leicester Tigers, Sunday brings a more realistic challenge from
:23:41. > :23:44.Gloucester. Teams don't like coming here. That is what I have heard and
:23:44. > :23:49.that this what we proved last year in the championship. I expect them
:23:49. > :23:54.to come up and probably keep their game playing pretty simple to start
:23:54. > :23:58.off with. Want to get our points on the board, I think we will have
:23:58. > :24:03.proved a decent and worthy challenge. They have arty faced the
:24:03. > :24:08.Giants of Leicester and staff. They are hoping for their first home
:24:08. > :24:11.wind. The new basketball season starts
:24:11. > :24:16.tonight, with a local derby between Newcastle Eagles and Durham
:24:16. > :24:19.Wildcats. As relative newcomers, the Wildcats are improving year on year
:24:19. > :24:23.and have signed former Eagles forward Joel Madourie as well as a
:24:23. > :24:27.new coach this season. The Eagles have three new faces including a
:24:27. > :24:31.return for Paul Gause as they bid to come back from a season where they
:24:31. > :24:35.failed to wind a single trophy. Cricket and Durham's title—winning
:24:35. > :24:42.season ended on a low note with a six wicket defeat at Sussex. Durham
:24:42. > :24:47.had fought back to set the home side 295 to wind but a century from Chris
:24:47. > :24:50.Nash saw Sussex home. The end of season feel was confirmed when
:24:50. > :24:53.wicketkeeper Phil Mustard was given an over and took the wicket of
:24:53. > :24:56.England all rounder Luke Wright. Yorkshire meanwhile ended with a
:24:56. > :25:02.draw at Surrey. Gary Ballance completing an unbeaten century. That
:25:02. > :25:09.is probably the end of summer, isn't it squished —— isn't it? We are in
:25:09. > :25:14.for a decent weekend. You could be forgiven for thinking it is summer
:25:14. > :25:21.in Cumbria in particular. Sunny and it will be warmer, but look at this
:25:21. > :25:25.beautiful sunset from last night. The headline is going to be a very
:25:25. > :25:30.nice weekend indeed. Some more pleasant sunsets to come. Through
:25:30. > :25:34.this evening and overnight, it is clear and dry, particularly in the
:25:34. > :25:38.West. Starry skies and half a waning moon to look at overnight, as
:25:38. > :25:45.temperatures dipped between eight and 10 Celsius. Light winds
:25:45. > :25:50.overnight tonight. Increasingly sunny across the North East
:25:50. > :25:53.tomorrow, and particularly in Cumbria. Beautiful blue skies in the
:25:54. > :25:59.West and clearing skies in the East as well. Here, it could just be a
:25:59. > :26:08.bit breezy or on the coast. A fine day across much of the reason ——
:26:08. > :26:13.region. I salute Jennifer's civic pride, she wanted to see Darlington
:26:13. > :26:18.on the map. It is going to be fine and dry across the site, North
:26:18. > :26:24.Yorkshire and the North East. Crossing westwards, the very best of
:26:24. > :26:32.weather here. 20 Celsius in lighter winds across Lakeland. It will be
:26:32. > :26:40.fearing —— feeling summary instead of all, no. Things will be settled
:26:40. > :26:44.underneath this ridge. To the West, fine weather for our region and that
:26:44. > :26:49.holds through the weekend. It could be just a little breezy always along
:26:49. > :26:54.the East Coast, the southeasterly flow making it cooler here. Top
:26:54. > :26:59.temperatures will be found in the West. The southeasterly breeze will
:26:59. > :27:04.favour western coasts. The highs and Sunday are around 16 to 18 Celsius
:27:04. > :27:08.and it stays fine through Monday as well. In the North East,
:27:08. > :27:13.temperatures not far below. Bright blue skies across the East on
:27:13. > :27:17.Sunday. Just a little bit more cloud is likely on Monday, and the
:27:17. > :27:36.temperatures will start to return to nearer the average for this time in
:27:36. > :27:38.late September. That around 13 and 15 Celsius, but post—equinox, the
:27:38. > :27:41.nights are no longer than the days. We do have sunshine to make up for
:27:41. > :27:46.it this weekend. That is how it looks. Sounds good! That is good for
:27:46. > :27:46.now. She is going to go put her peak —— speak up for the night. We will
