:00:00. > :00:13.Hello. Welcome to Friday's Look North. The headlines: the report
:00:14. > :00:16.which cleared the's former Chief Constable Stuart Hyde of misconduct
:00:17. > :00:25.has been published for the first time.

:01:04. > :01:06.The official report which cleared Cumbria's former Chief Constable,
:01:07. > :01:10.Stewart Hyde, of conduct has been published for the first time. `` of
:01:11. > :01:13.misconduct. Stuart Hyde was suspended last September after
:01:14. > :01:16.allegations of gross misconduct were made against him. He only returned
:01:17. > :01:20.to work as a senior officer last month. Now, the allegations which he
:01:21. > :01:24.faced have been spelt out in full for the first time, as well as the
:01:25. > :01:27.reasons for finding him innocent. Mr Hyde was suspended for a year, with
:01:28. > :01:29.the inquiries into his conduct costing round ?500,000. Mark
:01:30. > :01:33.McAlindon is in our Carlisle newsroom now. Mark, what exactly
:01:34. > :01:38.were the allegations made against Mr Hyde? Carol, this report has been
:01:39. > :01:42.compiled by South Wales Police and has been released under Freedom of
:01:43. > :01:44.Information. That force was asked to investigate after the Independent
:01:45. > :01:48.Police Complaints Commission had decided last year that Mr Hyde was
:01:49. > :01:50.not guilty of gross misconduct. That's the background. But the five
:01:51. > :01:53.allegations specifically are spending an unreasonable time
:01:54. > :01:55.outside the force area and making trips abroad at important
:01:56. > :01:57.operational times, conducting meetings with contractors and
:01:58. > :01:59.companies and giving preferential treatment to business partners,
:02:00. > :02:02.displaying questionable judgement on duty, including political events and
:02:03. > :02:05.the manner of entertaining business visitors, encouraging patronage of a
:02:06. > :02:08.specific hotel near his home in return for accrued benefits, and
:02:09. > :02:24.breaching force policies on the use of social media and a corporate
:02:25. > :02:27.credit card. What did the report have to say about those allegations?
:02:28. > :02:32.Carol, in each case the report states that there was no evidence of
:02:33. > :02:35.misconduct on the part of Mr Hyde. There are large swathes of evidence
:02:36. > :02:38.included in this report which examine Mr Hyde's conduct over his
:02:39. > :02:43.business trips, for example, and his use of social media and his credit
:02:44. > :02:47.card. In one instance, it is noted he appeared in his swimming gear
:02:48. > :02:52.before an event in Tunisia and it was agreed that this created what's
:02:53. > :02:55.called perception issues. There are a large number of recommendations
:02:56. > :03:02.but they all say the same thing, that Mr Hyde should be given the
:03:03. > :03:06.appropriate advice. Of course, this goes back to before he went back to
:03:07. > :03:09.work. He is not guilty of misconduct. Can you give us an
:03:10. > :03:16.impression of the scale and nature of the investigation? Yes, it is
:03:17. > :03:19.incredibly detailed. It went on for some considerable time, involving a
:03:20. > :03:27.number of Welsh officers. Officers from Wales examined a house and
:03:28. > :03:33.e`mails from Mr Hyde's account. They spoke to British Airways about his
:03:34. > :03:37.travel plans and examined his tweets and postings on social media. What
:03:38. > :03:42.is he is doing now? He is back at work and back in his role. He was
:03:43. > :03:45.temporary Chief Constable at the time of suspension, he is back at
:03:46. > :03:50.work as deputy Chief Constable and we understand he will retire at the
:03:51. > :03:58.end of December. Thank you very much, Mark.

:04:09. > :04:12.A gas and pipeline scheme which could power 75,000 homes has been
:04:13. > :04:15.given the go`ahead for the North York Moors. Developers say it was
:04:16. > :04:18.prompted by the dramatic rises in the cost of energy. Yesterday,
:04:19. > :04:24.British Gas hiked its prices by just over 10% for electricity and over 8%
:04:25. > :04:29.for gas. This follows price rises last week by SSE. The development is
:04:30. > :04:37.on the site of a mothballed gas field at Ebbertson Moor near
:04:38. > :04:41.Scarborough. Adrian Pitches reports. Protected but containing precious
:04:42. > :04:44.resources. And for years in exceptional circumstances, drilling
:04:45. > :04:48.for gas has been allowed in the national park. The site under
:04:49. > :04:50.discussion first opened in the 1960s but flooding meant extracting
:04:51. > :04:56.natural gas from Ebberston Moor became impossible. New, technology's
:04:57. > :04:59.changed that and the company that owns the site believes gas here
:05:00. > :05:02.could power over 75,000 homes for at least the next decade. `` new
:05:03. > :05:05.technology has changed that. Now, the national park authority's
:05:06. > :05:10.approved the scheme and the pipeline that would link it to a gas plant at
:05:11. > :05:13.Knapton in the south. But does this open the floodgates for drilling in
:05:14. > :05:16.the national park? For instance, does it bring the controversial
:05:17. > :05:25.fracking process ` the extraction of shale gas reserves ` one step
:05:26. > :05:31.closer? That is a completely different ball game. No, I do not
:05:32. > :05:34.think we consider that conventional gas approval gives tacit consent to
:05:35. > :05:40.shield gas. It is a different type of mining. There are more
:05:41. > :05:42.implications and we will have to look at that, if it comes. But
:05:43. > :05:45.environmentalists believe it's a slippery slope, that such decisions
:05:46. > :05:53.bring about death by 1000 cuts and no circumstance is exceptional
:05:54. > :05:57.enough. Do we want to turn our National Park, a real natural asset
:05:58. > :06:02.bringing in millions of tourist every year, into an industrial
:06:03. > :06:05.playground for developers? We have seen several developments over the
:06:06. > :06:08.last few years which really demean the National Park. But the authority
:06:09. > :06:11.says the decision protects existing jobs and creates new ones, as well
:06:12. > :06:15.as potentially adding much needed supplies to our gas network. They
:06:16. > :06:22.hope that could eventually lead to a drop in prices for the consumer.
:06:23. > :06:25.The new King's Priory Academy in Tynemouth was officially opened by
:06:26. > :06:28.Labour peer Lord Adonis this morning. Celebrations at both the
:06:29. > :06:33.primary and secondary schools marked the end of the first half term.
:06:34. > :06:36.King's Priory is the first academy in the country formed from the
:06:37. > :06:39.merger of a state school and an independent school, a merger that
:06:40. > :06:49.was opposed by North Tyneside Council. There has been controversy
:06:50. > :06:53.about it but it was something that never really distracted us from the
:06:54. > :06:58.preparations for the opening of the Academy. It is not a distraction now
:06:59. > :07:01.in retrospect either. Or focus has always been an bringing these two
:07:02. > :07:06.schools together and building them into this one fabulous institution.
:07:07. > :07:10.There is clearly very strong local support. It has been oversubscribed
:07:11. > :07:15.even in its first year. Its numbers are going up sharply. The real test
:07:16. > :07:18.of an education system is what the parents wanted it is that that is
:07:19. > :07:21.very clear that the parents here want to see this new academy and
:07:22. > :07:25.they strongly supported. A County Durham man says he could be
:07:26. > :07:29.forced to sell his house to pay his legal bills, after his dog bit a
:07:30. > :07:32.postman. `` strongly support it. It all happened back in 2008, when the
:07:33. > :07:38.postman passed Paul Race's home in Fishburn. He was ordered to pay
:07:39. > :07:43.?1500 in compensation. But he's now been handed a bill for legal costs
:07:44. > :07:50.of nearly?70,000. Stuart Whincup reports.
:07:51. > :07:54.This is Rocky. He doesn't know it but he's been accused of attacking
:07:55. > :07:58.the postman. His owner, Paul, claimed it was only a nip and his
:07:59. > :08:01.pointer acted in self defence. But after a five year battle, which
:08:02. > :08:10.included a trip to London's Appeal Court, he was left with a legal bill
:08:11. > :08:19.of ?70,000. It is highway robbery, as far as I can see. If I wanted to
:08:20. > :08:24.pay it on the County Court order they would send the bailiffs round
:08:25. > :08:26.and tell me out `` toss me out of my house.
:08:27. > :08:29.Paul blames the compensation culture and "no win, no fee" companies. But
:08:30. > :08:32.Simpson Millar Solicitors has defended its costs, saying they
:08:33. > :08:39.increased because of Mr Race's behaviour. Before the case came
:08:40. > :08:43.here, the firm said he continually tried to delay proceedings then
:08:44. > :08:48.attempted to change as the and on top of that, refused an earlier
:08:49. > :08:51.settlement of ?6,000 in compensation and costs to pursue his legal
:08:52. > :08:54.challenge. The company said the postman was the subject of a
:08:55. > :08:58.distressing attack and entitled to compensation. And the legal firm
:08:59. > :09:06.says it sought a swift and reasonable settlement. But that's
:09:07. > :09:10.not the view of Mr Race. It is the American tract of wherever is blamed
:09:11. > :09:15.is a claim. This regard of what size it is. It is just not proportionate
:09:16. > :09:19.at all. Paul believes the case would never have even made it to court if
:09:20. > :09:25.his was dog had been called Fluffy instead of Rocky.
:09:26. > :09:29.And you can have your say on this story on our Facebook page. The
:09:30. > :09:32.address is on your screen now. Payday and doorstep lenders have
:09:33. > :09:35.been accused of preying upon the poor and vulnerable after a study
:09:36. > :09:37.carried out on Teesside. Durham University looked at the debt
:09:38. > :09:41.problems of 24 families across Stockton and Middlesbrough. As our
:09:42. > :09:46.Political Editor Richard Moss reports, the researchers now want
:09:47. > :09:51.tighter regulation of the industry. Like many, Eleanor Eamens is feeling
:09:52. > :09:55.the pinch. So when she was offered a ?100 loan by a doorstep lender, she
:09:56. > :09:58.thought it would help. But soon the mum of five from Northumberland had
:09:59. > :10:07.six separate loans, owed ?4,000 and was choosing between the weekly
:10:08. > :10:13.payments and feeding her family. I chose to borrow, somebody did not
:10:14. > :10:19.make me. But when you are on a low income and you need that money, it
:10:20. > :10:23.is so tempting and they did not ever look on whether you had other debts
:10:24. > :10:25.to pay. So they did not have a clue whether you could afford it.
:10:26. > :10:28.And Eleanor's experience was also typical of the 24 low income
:10:29. > :10:31.families from Teesside studied by Durham University over the last two
:10:32. > :10:40.years. Their debts ranged from ?340 to ?10,000. After one month, two
:10:41. > :10:43.months, three months, they soon found they had a huge debt which
:10:44. > :10:49.they were saddled with and desperate about. Some had moved house, some
:10:50. > :10:53.had gone off incognito to try and get rid of this. Many of them had
:10:54. > :10:56.mental health problems which were quite severe. The researchers want
:10:57. > :10:59.high cost credit companies to be forced to do affordability checks
:11:00. > :11:01.before agreeing loans. But some in the industry believe they are
:11:02. > :11:04.already well`regulated. Julio Martino says he does check whether
:11:05. > :11:11.clients can pay, and they appreciate the service. We are essentially
:11:12. > :11:15.lending to people who cannot get credit cards, cannot get credit from
:11:16. > :11:18.the bank. They need credit elsewhere and there are companies like myself
:11:19. > :11:22.who are willing to take a slightly greater risk, in some circumstances,
:11:23. > :11:23.to lend to these people who do need credit.
:11:24. > :11:26.Eleanor Eamens is now almost debt`free and saving with a local
:11:27. > :11:29.credit union. But the Durham University research suggests many
:11:30. > :11:35.more are still trying to cope with unaffordable debt.
:11:36. > :11:46.More on that pay day loans on Sunday Politics, that's at 11am on Sunday
:11:47. > :11:51.morning on BBC One. There is plenty more to come. A
:11:52. > :11:55.village campaigns to save if famous bakery, swapping bats for bikes,
:11:56. > :12:00.cricket players past and present set off on a big cycling challenge. And
:12:01. > :12:03.low pressure is in charge of the weekend.
:12:04. > :12:09.That means the rain will never be that far away but stays fairly mild.
:12:10. > :12:11.Join me for the full forecast later. Northumberland's largest
:12:12. > :12:17.manufacturer, Egger, has invested over ?200 million in its Hexham site
:12:18. > :12:20.over the last six years. And today, a new engineering facility and
:12:21. > :12:25.training academy has been opened, which will be used by 40
:12:26. > :12:29.apprentices. It will also boost training for the company's other 500
:12:30. > :12:40.employees. Julie Smith took a look around.
:12:41. > :12:44.This is Northumberland's largest manufacturing employer, creating
:12:45. > :12:48.wood panels at the site that was acquired 30 years ago. Today, it
:12:49. > :12:53.remains a key part of the group's operation. So that is why ?200
:12:54. > :12:58.million has been invested here, bringing it up to date with a new
:12:59. > :13:04.factory that runs a 24/7 operation. Today, the new engineering facility
:13:05. > :13:07.and training academy to pass on skills to support this operation was
:13:08. > :13:11.opened. The whole departments are under one roof and everything that
:13:12. > :13:16.is needed to maintain the plant can be made on site. The technology is
:13:17. > :13:19.quite advanced and quite unique so it needs specialist people to
:13:20. > :13:24.operate it and maintain them and keep them running. That is why we
:13:25. > :13:27.feel it is beneficial for a business like ours, who has two compete in
:13:28. > :13:32.the marketplace, to generate our own people, particularly from around the
:13:33. > :13:36.area. The Academy will support future trainees and employees,
:13:37. > :13:40.making the new facility is an important part of developing this
:13:41. > :13:44.does this. Can gain knowledge from the older workers. You can look and
:13:45. > :13:48.say that you made that. Opposite, the lad to have been there for years
:13:49. > :13:52.can say that they did all this. But it is nice to be that you concede
:13:53. > :13:57.the things around here that you have done. Over ten get better at it, new
:13:58. > :14:02.apprentices will be until we can teach them and will give something
:14:03. > :14:05.back. The group has just announced further investment of ?50 million.
:14:06. > :14:10.It is to replace all the technology over the next five years. `` older
:14:11. > :14:12.technology. An award`winning Cumbrian country
:14:13. > :14:16.bakery which has been championed by famous names is facing an uncertain
:14:17. > :14:19.future. The owners of the Village Bakery in the village of Melmerby
:14:20. > :14:23.say it's not making money and want to turn it into housing. People in
:14:24. > :14:27.the village are opposing the plans and, as Graham Moss found out, a key
:14:28. > :14:28.planning decision has gone in their favour.
:14:29. > :14:32.It's an idylllic setting. Melmerby nestles on the Cumbrian fellside, on
:14:33. > :14:35.the road over Hartside Pass. The Village Bakery has been widely
:14:36. > :14:40.celebrated as one of the success stories for a craft business in the
:14:41. > :14:44.countryside. Prince Charles paid a visit, as did the Hairy Bikers. Sir
:14:45. > :14:47.Paul McCartney is a fan. But the owners say the business is losing
:14:48. > :15:00.money and submitted plans for housing. The business has put this
:15:01. > :15:04.village on the international map, not just nationally but
:15:05. > :15:07.internationally known. And while we realise that the company cannot be
:15:08. > :15:12.expected to run the business at a loss, we think that the business use
:15:13. > :15:18.of the premises is important and it should be advertised for sale. In
:15:19. > :15:22.difficult trading times, it seems a well`known brand is no guarantee of
:15:23. > :15:25.business success. Planning officials recommended that the scheme for
:15:26. > :15:29.three houses on the site should be given the go`ahead. The councillors
:15:30. > :15:35.themselves took a different view. They voted 10`1 against. I think it
:15:36. > :15:39.restores your faith in democracy, to a certain extent. We are very
:15:40. > :15:44.pleased. It was 10`1 so I think it proves that we had a point in the
:15:45. > :15:49.first place. You know, it is not over yet. They could still change it
:15:50. > :15:52.in a months time, at the next meeting. Hollesley Bay will not and
:15:53. > :15:56.we really hope that the company will put the site on the market. ``
:15:57. > :15:59.hopefully they will not. The business owners, Bells of
:16:00. > :16:00.Lazonby, didn't want to be interviewed but in a statement,
:16:01. > :16:20.Michael Bell told Look North... Bells says it's dismayed by the
:16:21. > :16:22.rejection of planning permission for housing. In the meantime, the
:16:23. > :16:37.Village Bakery continues to trade with plans into the New Year.
:16:38. > :16:42.Beautiful. Premier League is back, I am riled Lyon form. You missed it
:16:43. > :16:44.last week. Did it start last week? The international break deprived
:16:45. > :16:48.Sunderland's new Head Coach, Gus Poyet, of several players, ahead of
:16:49. > :16:51.his first game at Swansea tomorrow. But he has been able to spend some
:16:52. > :16:55.quality time with his defenders and strikers. The Black Cats need to
:16:56. > :16:58.improve at both ends of the pitch, if they're to climb off the foot of
:16:59. > :17:02.the Premier League table. Key to Sunderland's survival will be
:17:03. > :17:06.keeping their best players fit. Defender Wes Brown is back on the
:17:07. > :17:07.training ground and much will be expected of fit`again Scotland
:17:08. > :17:11.international striker Steven Fletcher. The new boss wants in time
:17:12. > :17:16.to see his side playing attractive and winning football. I think it is
:17:17. > :17:21.a better feeling for a fan. When you go to the stadium and see your team
:17:22. > :17:25.playing the way you enjoy watching, there is not better than that. Of
:17:26. > :17:29.course you need to win, there is no thinking that we are going to play
:17:30. > :17:31.better and not win. The idea is to do things together and it is
:17:32. > :17:35.possible and I am convinced that we can do it. That presumably includes
:17:36. > :17:38.the talented but inconsistent winger Adam Johnson, who's hoping a more
:17:39. > :17:41.attacking role will boost his chances of an England re`call. He's
:17:42. > :17:46.noticed a big change in the atmosphere at the training ground
:17:47. > :17:52.since Poyet's arrival. I mean, it has been sort of like a breath of
:17:53. > :17:56.fresh. Everybody's enjoying it and we are working hard but on the other
:17:57. > :18:01.hand, we have also been enjoying playing football, getting of back to
:18:02. > :18:09.that. Nowadays, if you know how to treat your players and be good with
:18:10. > :18:13.everyone, I think you can be a good manager. It is not Mrs Ali all about
:18:14. > :18:19.what you have done to be a good manager. It is about common sense
:18:20. > :18:23.and knowing how to treat players. `` it is not Mrs Farrelly.
:18:24. > :18:25.It's not clear just how well, or badly, Alan Pardew's mixed
:18:26. > :18:32.assessment on national TV of Mike Ashley's football decision`making
:18:33. > :18:34.went down with the Newcastle owner. But while the Newcastle manager's
:18:35. > :18:38.positive response to adversity on the pitch has led to a climb up the
:18:39. > :18:41.table, there's no room for complacency as the Magpies' upcoming
:18:42. > :18:44.fixtures look pretty tough. Premier League games against four of the top
:18:45. > :18:47.six. And next week's Wear`Tyne derby. First up, tomorrow lunchtime,
:18:48. > :18:50.a visit from Liverpool, who've featured in some of Pardew's best
:18:51. > :18:53.and worst moments on Tyneside. It's coming up to Alan Pardew's
:18:54. > :18:57.third anniversary at St James' Park. His first game in charge, in
:18:58. > :19:00.mid`December of 2010, a 3`1 win over the Reds, which had Kevin Nolan
:19:01. > :19:06.dancing with joy and the current England boss Roy Hodgson rubbing his
:19:07. > :19:10.eyes in disbelief. Let's hope we don't see any of that in Rio. Late
:19:11. > :19:13.last season, though, the Mersysiders had their revenge ` a 6`0 thrashing

:19:25. > :19:28.that you don't ever want to happen but it does sometimes in a season.
:19:29. > :19:33.It is probably the heaviest defeat I have had as a manager and you have
:19:34. > :19:35.to, you know, make sure it does not happen again and try and build
:19:36. > :19:41.yourself up. We did after that. You have to use it and take some
:19:42. > :19:43.positive out of it that it will not happen again.

:19:48. > :19:49.this season, when they take on the Championship's bottom club,

:19:53. > :19:54.home victory of the campaign, against Yeovil, before the
:19:55. > :19:59.international break. Boro are 16th in the table ` not helped by six
:20:00. > :20:02.draws from their 11 games, with just two league wins so far. But the
:20:03. > :20:09.manager says confidence is still high. When you are not losing
:20:10. > :20:13.football matches, it doesn't erode the confidence that much. Belief in
:20:14. > :20:18.the squad is still pretty strong and high that we can have a good
:20:19. > :20:20.season. We have to build it up and obviously if you can finish the
:20:21. > :20:25.season strong it is better than starting the season strong. That is
:20:26. > :20:29.what we would hope, is that we can build up from this point and keep
:20:30. > :20:32.going and build some real momentum and be strong after the New Year.
:20:33. > :20:34.And there'll be full commentary of Boro's trip to South Yorkshire on

:21:02. > :21:03.was the starting point for a mammoth fund`raising cycling challenge, as

:21:14. > :21:16.of 70 cyclists ride 441 miles over five days from Durham to London via
:21:17. > :21:19.several leading cricket grounds, including Headingley in Leeds. It's

:22:13. > :22:17.hopefully I can pull this off. The ride ends at Lord's cricket ground.
:22:18. > :22:23.Mark Tulip, BBC Look North. When international sports teams come
:22:24. > :22:25.to the region, they stay in the plushest hotels and seclude
:22:26. > :22:28.themselves behind high walls, right? Most of the time. Well, not in the
:22:29. > :22:32.case of Fiji's Rugby League World Cup squad.
:22:33. > :22:36.Yes, for the last few days they've been staying at Scotch Corner and
:22:37. > :22:39.being fed at a pub in a little village near Richmond. Why? Well, as
:22:40. > :22:42.Gerry Jackson found out, even for Fijians, it's a small world.
:22:43. > :22:51.You know that feeling. You just want a quiet drink down the local and you
:22:52. > :22:56.can't even get to the bar. I'll be with you any minute. As for peace
:22:57. > :22:59.and quiet, not this week at the George and Dragon at Hudswell. All
:23:00. > :23:14.35 players and coaching staff of Fiji's World Cup squad are here.
:23:15. > :23:17.This is their battle hymn. THE PLAYERS SAYING
:23:18. > :23:20.All this week, the nation's finest Rugby League players have been
:23:21. > :23:27.getting breakfast, lunch and dinner here. It's been lively. Buzzing,
:23:28. > :23:32.absolutely buzzing. The locals have been coming into an meat and greet
:23:33. > :23:35.them and have a look. Because of the size of some of them, it is quite
:23:36. > :23:39.scary. The team won't be playing World Cup matches anywhere near here
:23:40. > :23:42.but Catterick Garrison is just a few miles down the road. Generations of
:23:43. > :23:46.Fijian soldiers have served there and many live in this area. And the
:23:47. > :23:55.expertise to cook them what they like or rather what their coaches
:23:56. > :23:59.demand is right here. It is a big, huge responsibility for me and my
:24:00. > :24:09.chefs and all the staff as well because feeding 35 people every
:24:10. > :24:15.day... It is like feeding with double the population. Each of the
:24:16. > :24:17.need for two men. It is good seeing the English countryside. The view
:24:18. > :24:22.has been good and the people are good. It has been really relaxing
:24:23. > :24:27.and it is going to be a very big boost for the boys. We have had a
:24:28. > :24:30.great time in Yorkshire. You know, the company has been great. The
:24:31. > :24:34.hospitality has been terrific and it is a little bit more relaxed which
:24:35. > :24:37.suits the boys. Sadly, the boys are about to move
:24:38. > :24:42.South. They'll enjoy one more night of local hospitality. In the
:24:43. > :24:56.meantime, if one of them spills your pint ` let it go.
:24:57. > :25:01.And there is a Fijian festival in the pub tonight. Let's have a look
:25:02. > :25:07.at the weather. Plenty of it. The rain has been
:25:08. > :25:10.topping up the rivers and we started off the week by showing you this
:25:11. > :25:13.salmon making its way up the river and this character has been
:25:14. > :25:16.following them all the way up to Chester`le`Street. Thank you to Rob
:25:17. > :25:20.for that shot. That must be ten miles from the minds of the river.
:25:21. > :25:24.This is also impressive. This is the meeting of the new Mister and Mrs
:25:25. > :25:32.Versailles. Decent weather. `` the wedding. One of the bright's
:25:33. > :25:36.pedigree sheep taking pride of place. If your hobby is an outdoor
:25:37. > :25:40.one, there is a chance you will get wet. A lot of rain this evening and
:25:41. > :25:45.overnight. Through the early hours of the morning, the rain starts to
:25:46. > :25:50.become a little bit more intermittent and spots develop. The
:25:51. > :25:54.temperatures will stay well. There is a brisk southeasterly wind. It is
:25:55. > :25:58.a bit of a grey starts tomorrow morning. There will be some
:25:59. > :26:01.outbreaks of friends of the morning. They will tend to be the road
:26:02. > :26:05.towards lunchtime. For the afternoon, we will start to see
:26:06. > :26:11.brighter spells develop. `` some outbreaks of rain. Could see another
:26:12. > :26:17.outbreak of rain edging its way into western parts of Cumbria later on.
:26:18. > :26:24.Temperatures are reasonable. A later southerly breeze. It should feel
:26:25. > :26:27.quite pleasant. That is the picture for tomorrow. It is this band that
:26:28. > :26:32.brings those heavy showers tomorrow evening. For Sunday, we have still
:26:33. > :26:36.got low pressure in charge. It will feed in a fair few showers on the
:26:37. > :26:40.wind and into the beginning of next week, it stays unsettled. This rain
:26:41. > :26:44.will hold back for a while, eventually reaching us on Monday and
:26:45. > :26:48.Tuesday. Very changeable. The rain will never be that far away. I think
:26:49. > :26:52.some early rain on Saturday and again late rain in the West. In
:26:53. > :26:58.between, some decent, dry, brighter spells. On Sunday, some heavy and
:26:59. > :27:02.bright `` some heavy showers and bright spells. You might get away
:27:03. > :27:07.with a dry day on Monday before the rain returns on Tuesday. At least as
:27:08. > :27:11.is reasonably miles. Desperate C 's top that is that from
:27:12. > :27:15.ours. We are going to leave you with more of the calming tones of the
:27:16. > :27:36.Fijian World Cup rugby league squad. From us, good night. Had a good
:27:37. > :27:48.weekend. THEY SING A HYMN
