Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: No criminal | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
charges. The latest twist in the case of | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Cumbria's Police Commissioner and a controversial expenses claim made | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
public. Excitement mounts in a seaside town | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
as it prepares to welcome World Cup Rugby League. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
He's one of the oldest working farmers in Britain but 100`year`old | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Walter says he has no plans to retire. I don't feel old. I feel | :00:26. | :00:40. | |
like I did when I was 50. And the story of a Tyneside boy band | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
member turned composer who caught the attention of Sir Tim Rice. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
In sport, bye`bye, Boro. Another one bites the dust as Middlesbrough sack | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Mowbray after almost three years in charge at the Riverside. | :00:51. | :01:06. | |
He's one of... I beg your pardon. It was a case that caused an outcry. | :01:07. | :01:18. | |
The arrest earlier this year of three civilian police staff after | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
the leaking of details about Cumbria's crime commissioner's | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
travel expenses. Well, after a long police inquiry, the last person to | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
be investigated over the leaks has been told she too won't face | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
prosecution. Mark McAlindon reports. When this row broke, though | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
accusations this was the silencing of free speech. The heavy hands of | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
the law had been used to punish legitimate whistle`blowers. The | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Police and Crime Commissioner says that he and his officer it behaved | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
impeccably, played by the rules, throughout. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
It was a local newspaper that revealed Richard Rhodes had taken | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
two chauffer driven trips at a cost of ?700. Some thought that an | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
extravagance, but the storm would really start when a police | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
investigation was launched and three people arrested. Today, one local MP | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
condemned the whole episode. The fact that it then took so long for | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
this to be investigated and no charge to be made, it wasted so much | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
police time and resources but in the end I hope this is a reminder that | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
the people who blow the whistle on important things like this about | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
expenses should be celebrated and not arrested. A complaint had come | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
from Mr Rhodes' office, but he says police decisions are nothing to do | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
with him. That complaint was passed to the service provider, the | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
constabulary. The constabulary then made the decision not to pursue the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
matter. Earlier this year, two people were told they would not face | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
charges. And now the third, a 50`year`old woman, has been informed | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
she won't face prosecution. In a statement, the police said. | :03:04. | :03:23. | |
It comes after the Crown Prosecution Service told police there was | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
insufficient evidence of any possible conviction and that any | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
defendant would be able to argue in court that revealing those expenses | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
was in the public interest. It is being interpreted as whistle`blowing | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
but what I'm saying is I accept the idea that there must be some | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
whistle`blowing in the public sector because that's the only way | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
sometimes that corrupt practice comes to light. Having said that, | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
the constabulary, it has a `` it has a whistle`blowing policy which | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
wasn't followed in this case. The upshot is no one will be prosecuted | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
for this leak but in the last half`hour, the temporary chief | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
constable has issued a statement. He says he is aware that Commons have | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
been made to conduct an investigation. He can confirm that | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
this is not the case and that there will be an independent investigation | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
and that is his duty to do so. That is just in the last half an hour. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
It's emerged that a woman murdered in York was an estate agent in the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
city. She's been named locally as 32`year`old Nicole Waterhouse, who | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
worked at Hunters Estate Agents and was the daughter of a partner in the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
business. Police were called to an apartment in Phoenix Boulevard in | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
York on Sunday evening, where they found the body of the victim and | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
another 23`year`old woman who'd been seriously injured. A 25`year`old man | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
has been arrested. A north`east MP has raised concerns some of the | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
region's patients are being ferried the treatments on the back`seat of | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
police cars. On last night's Look North we told you about the claims | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
that, in some cases, police cars were being used because of delays | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
affecting ambulance crews at hospitals. The north`east Ambulance | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Service admits there's a problem but has denied that critically ill | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
people have been involved. Darlington's Labour MP Jenny Chapman | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
raised the issue with Jeremy Hunt in the Commons earlier today. How can | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
the public have confidence in their health service when police officers | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
are taking patients who are sick and injured to AMD instead of an | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
ambulance because they are backed up outside of a and E. They can have | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
confidence because compared to three years ago on broadly the same budget | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
the NHS is doing 800,000 more operations, year in, year out, MRSA | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
rates have halved, and patients waiting a year or longer for their | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
operations have gone down from 18,000 to less than 400. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
A week tonight, Workington hosts the first of two matches in the Rugby | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
League World Cup. And the town and the wider community are hoping to | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
cash in on the potential economic benefits of the prestigious event. A | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
combined total of more than 12,000 fans are expected to travel to West | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Cumbria to watch the matches. Scotland against Tonga and then | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Scotland against Italy the following Sunday. And as Graham Moss found | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
out, the excitement is building. Preparations for the Rugby League | :06:23. | :06:38. | |
World Cup are under way in the most unexpected places. Children at this | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
primary School in Harrington just outside Workington are rehearsing | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
especially composed and them. `` a specially composed anthem. We got | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
the whole school to sing. They sounded great this morning. It's a | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
great opportunity for us. It's really exciting. It is a fantastic | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
thing. I think everyone here is at peak fan of it. Me and my dad always | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
go every year to see England and Australia play. It's a fantastic | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
thing for the town and area, and it's so exciting for the children | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
and people in the area to have the Rugby League World Cup. Bell | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Telewest Cumbria has built up coal, iron ore, steel and the league. It's | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
in the DNA. Rugby League is not the powerhouse it once was here but it's | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
hoped that hosting the World Cup will boost the sport and economy. It | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
puts us on to the world arena because it is the World Cup, it | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
sells the area. When these teams go back to their original homes, they | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
will come back and visit West Cumbria because they will get a | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
fantastic welcome. And they will be looked after. We have 1700 kids | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
playing Rugby League. I hope they will come back to the sport. And we | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
hope they will be fans to come back and support the professional and | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
amateur game. Whilst there are no official figures on how much there | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
is to be expected `` on how much is going to generate, people are | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
excited. It is West Cumbria, we've got local activities, cultural | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
performances, fireworks, a lot more than the games and there will be | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
lots of spectacles. In the first match, Scotland versus Tonga next | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
week. We will be live at a civic reception to welcome Scotland's | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
National Rugby League squad later in the programme. | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
He's turned 100, but jokes that he has no idea what he'll do when he | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
gets old. Walter Bainbridge is one of the oldest farmers in Britain, | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
having started out in the early 1930s. He still drives and goes to | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
livestock auctions three times a week. But despite celebrating his | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
century, the great`great`grandfather says there's no chance he'll retire. | :09:15. | :09:26. | |
Peter Harris went to meet him. He's had the cards, the party and | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
the message from the Queen, but passing his century was no reason | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
for water to start slacking. 80 years as a farmer and counting. I | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
don't feel old! I feel better now than I did at 50. Always something | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
to do, whether I am at home on the farm, or at the market. I'm | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
interested in anything. Today, he's at an auction in Northallerton. He's | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
a regular here. He first came in 1927. This is where water to be. He | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
will do this two or three times a week, at Carlisle, XM, | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Northallerton, and, incredibly, he is still driving his own car. He | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
doesn't miss a trick! As soon as his cattle coming, he's waving his arms, | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
and making sure everyone knows. Have you come across anyone older? Not an | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
older farmer. He is very sharp. These days, the family farm is run | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
by water's sons but the old man is always around to keep things | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
straight. Mentally, still got it all. He knows when I'm buying | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
cattle, if I'm in, when I'm out, he will be watching. He always clued | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
up. He still keeps you straight. Yes, he keeps me strict! Water as a | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
family man at heart with 11 great great grandchildren and he will keep | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
busy. I don't know what I'm going to do when I get old. I've no plans for | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
retirement. No plans whatsoever. Healthy eating, you see! | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Plenty more to come in tonight's programme. Jeff's here with more on | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Tony Mowbray's departure from the Boro and who might replace him. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Autumn leaves in all their glory. Collecting them could help | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
scientists monitor climate change. And as the typically changeable | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
autumn weather continues, join me later for your full forecast. | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
A new musical based on the 1950s novel and film From Here To Eternity | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
opens tomorrow night in London's West End. With a former Pop Idol | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
star in the lead role, it marks the debut for Tyneside composer Stuart | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Brayson who wrote it. Theatre legend Sir Tim Rice was so impressed, he | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
decided to stage it as his first new production in more than a decade. | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Just as Stuart's long`awaited dream is finally coming true, he's | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
returned home to the north`east to share his success. Here's our | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
entertainment reporter Sharuna Sagar. | :12:09. | :12:23. | |
From Here To Eternity, an epic story of love and desire, particularly for | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
Stuart Brayson. His musical adaptation of the James Jones novel | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
is making its long awaited world premiere. Growing up in Gateshead in | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
the '70s, with a burning ambition to make it big, he left at 18 for the | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
bright lights of London. His journey from Windy Nook to the West End has | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
been long and hard. My dream as a child was to be a pop star or a rock | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
'n' roll star. And I pursued that with vigour in the 80s. The new | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
romantic thing was happening and it was great, it was glamorous, it was | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
colourful and fun. So you were in a band called Pop? Yes, it didn't go | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
too well after a while. Secretly I will always wanted to do what I'm | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
doing now. So when Pop went pop, Stuart started writing musical after | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
musical. I've written a lot, but it's not easy to take things off the | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
ground. I tend to take matters that are quite big, cost a lot of money | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
and take a lot of time. It's now two decades on, and this is the one | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
that's persuaded Sir Tim Rice to stage his first new show in 13 | :13:42. | :13:51. | |
years. I met him back in the days when I had my pop and. I'd always | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
kept in contact with him and went I `` when I first started to write | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
musicals, he was the first one I sent them to. When I gave him From | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Here To Eternity, he just was over the moon. He phoned me, and said, | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
this is the one. It's fantastic! Unlike the classic film which was | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
subject to 1950s censorship, this version of From Here To Eternity is | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
much truer to the James Jones novel it's based on. We do have all of the | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
things that maybe you don't expect in the West End. Nudity, swearing, | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
violence. But, hey... Homosexuality? It's all in the! | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Well, that's musical theatre for you. It's the world premiere of the | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
production at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and the perfect moment to | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
return to his roots and reflect. I've had a lot of support and love | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
and I've had a great family upbringing. I made a special effort | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
to get here, literally days before the opening night. I really wanted | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
to come here and get away from London, and get a taste of where I | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
came from. It means a lot to me to be here. It's a full circle for me. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
It may have seemed like it's taken an eternity to get here for Stuart, | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
but with the man behind some of the highest grossing musicals of all | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
time by his side, it looks like this Geordie's boat has finally come in. | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
Lovely dream to have come true. Now, if you're thinking about a | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
lovely autumn walk this week, you could also help scientists looking | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
at climate change. A project called Nature's Calendar wants people to | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
get involved. Helpers have already established it's been a bumper year | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
for berries, as Cathy Killick explains. | :15:42. | :15:54. | |
It's that time of year when nature puts on a show. When the sun comes | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
out, what a bonus. I'm walking to these words. The Woodland trust | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
needs your help to monitor will the woods this winter. The woods are | :16:11. | :16:24. | |
constantly changing with the seasons but were here to chart those | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
changes. Time to do some work? We probably should. I've printed some | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
survey forms from Nature's Calendar's website and now we are | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
looking for berries. Fantastic crop of berries up there. Shall we fill | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
in the survey? You could record a score for the amount of fruit, | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
recorder three for that one, maybe. Great, let's see what else we can | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
find. Survey results so far have revealed an abundance of berries. We | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
are having the most bumper crop of berries we've had in ten years so | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
it's a fantastic year to all kinds of berries. And it's just because | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
we've had such a lovely summer. The data helps scientists monitor | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
climate change but they need as much of it is possible, so they need your | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
help gathering it. The woods are a pleasure, only enhanced by helping | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
to save the planet, too. Hopefully be doing something like that at the | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
weekend. First, we have a lot of support to get through. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
We've lost another football manager, I'm afraid. | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
Tony Mowbray has become the region's third league manager to be sacked | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
this season. After almost three years in charge at the Riverside, | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Middlesbrough announced his departure last night following | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
defeat at the hands of bottom club Barnsley at the weekend. Dawn | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
Thewlis reports. Tony Mowbray was the man every Boro | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
fan wanted as manager. And if goodwill alone could have ensured | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
his success, Middlesbrough would have been promoted in his first | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
season in charge. He was a Boro supporter as a boy and a club legend | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
as captain, leading them back to the top flight in 1988 just two years | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
after the club almost folded. Unfortunately, he couldn't repeat | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
the feat as boss. He had to contend with the mess left by Gordon | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Strachan's disastrous period in charge which lasted less than a year | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
and saddled the club with a host of highly`paid Scottish imports. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Mowbray had to try to get Boro promoted while also cutting the wage | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
bill. Championship finishes of 12th, seventh and 16th followed with the | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
team fading badly in the last two seasons after promotion form early | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
on. Such is Mowbray's stature at the club, he was perhaps given more time | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
to turn things around than others would have been. Even a week ago, he | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
was confident of a positive outcome. Without any excuses, there have been | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
a few new players, and things are starting to come together. Hopefully | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
when it all clicks into gear, we will find a string of results which | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
will prepare us `` propel cars. But the statistics for 2013 don't make | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
happy reading. Of the 33 games played in the Championship so far, | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Middlesbrough have won five, drawn nine, and lost 19. The weekend's | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
defeat to bottom side Barnsley was the final straw for Chairman Steve | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Gibson and the fans had run out of patience, too. I know he is well | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
liked in Middlesbrough but he's not doing the business. Well, it was a | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
long time coming. You know, sad to see him go, like, art at the same | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
time, we weren't getting anywhere. The news is particularly hard to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
take for the man who was inspired to set up the Boro fanzine Fly Me To | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
The Moon by Tony Mowbray. He is a hero to many of us from his playing | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
days as captain. That continued to him being a manager, so you don't | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
want that day to happen when you part company like that, and part of | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
me never expected it to happen. Assistant Mark Venus is in charge | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
until a permanent manager's appointed and Middlesbrough | :20:15. | :20:15. | |
commentator Alistair Brownlee reckons there'll be no shortage of | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
applications for the job. Middlesbrough will still be a very | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
attractive proposition. They've got a ground that is Premier League | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
standard, and if the new manager gets it right, they could get up to | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
30,000 with a promotion push. And the chairman axe his managers. Tony | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Mowbray was at the club for three years, though. It is a very | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
attractive proposition and there will be no shortage of CV is on his | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
desk. Their next test is a six pointer against fellow strugglers | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Doncaster at the Riverside on Friday night. And manager or not, one Boro | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
legend will be keeping his fingers crossed for three points. | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
So, who's in line to be the next Middlesbrough manager? Well, these | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
are some of the contenders, according to the bookies, the | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
favourite is Tony Pulis, although it's been reported that chairman | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Steve Gibson isn't too keen on the former Stoke boss. Mark Venus, who | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
has the job at the moment, is 11/2. Behind him come the likes of | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
ex`Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill. Nigel Clough, whose dad, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
Brian was, of course, born in the town. Former England under`21 coach | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Stuart Pearce. And ex`Boro defender Colin Cooper, who's only just taken | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
over at Hartlepool. There's more football action | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
tonight. In League One Carlisle, who've signed Ghanaian international | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
midfielder Prince Buaben, are away at MK Dons, while in League Two | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Hartlepool go in search of their fourth win in a row at home to | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Wimbledon and York are away at Chesterfield. He's not eligible for | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
today's game, but they hope have international clearance by Thursday. | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
Well, as we've been hearing, the Rugby League World Cup gets under | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
way at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Saturday with England taking on | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Australia. Several Cumbrian players will be representing the home | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
nations, and three of them could feature for Scotland at Workington's | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Derwent Park, which has been awarded two of the group matches, the first | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
of which is a week tonight. Mark Tulip is there for us now. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
Well, you join me right in the middle of a civic reception put on | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
by Allerdale Council for the Scotland squad, who'll play Tonga | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
here a week tonight, and Italy a week on Sunday. These matches were | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
originally due to have been played in Whitehaven but problems over the | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
proposed venue led to a switch to Workington. Of course, West Cumbria | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
already has a proud Rugby League heritage, even though it doesn't | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
boast a Super League team and it was felt that hosting World Cup games | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
here would help grow the sport. With me now are a couple of the Scotland | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
players and Mark Fryer, who's on the Workington Town board and Allerdale | :22:47. | :22:58. | |
Council. How big is this? It's huge. Huge economic clique, it gives an | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
absolutely mega used for the sport, the foundation, it grows the | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
foundation wider. We've got 40 schools, we've got 1700 kids coming, | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
we've got kids practising a new anthem in the sports centre. It is | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
fantastic. A few teething problems with the trains, other than that, | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
how is it going? We don't do problems, we do solutions. There is | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
thousands committed to the ticket sales. The community is right behind | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
it. Of course, you are working to an `based, but you've checked in with | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
the rest of your team`mates. You must be the man everybody looks to | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
to find out where the best pubs are! Yes, that's good. There's a | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
couple of lads from Workington to live here, so we have to show the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
lads around and look after them. And you are actually going for a brewery | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
tour. I don't know how much beer we will be allowed to test, so we will | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
see how that goes. In all seriousness, you did tell me that | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
there's been quite a lot of training and you will be looking for a | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
quarterfinal place. The quality of the squad is unbelievable. The best | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
squad I've ever played on in my life. I've been learning something | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
new everyday. And I the lads have as well. Have a great tournament. These | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
lads haven't yet eaten, so it is back to you. | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
That'll be very exciting. Did you hear about overpaid Scottish | :24:46. | :24:46. | |
imports? Paul, the weather. Oh, you are a card! | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
The showers have aligned themselves to give us some prolonged rain. | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
Things start to improve tomorrow, the showers become less widespread. | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
It will feel a little bit fresher tomorrow. Today, we had frequent | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
showers, the main emphasis for us was western areas, those bright | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
colours show where the heaviest showers world. Again, it is western | :25:20. | :25:31. | |
areas that will see that the heavier showers. It is a mild night with | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
strong winds, and temperatures in double figures. It should be about | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
12. Tomorrow morning, a cloudy start foremost with outbreaks of rain. | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
Again heaviest in the West. That more prolonged rain fizzles out | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
replaced by sunny spells by the afternoon with some showers here and | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
there, but largely drive for the afternoon. As I say, it will feel | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
fresher, the winds strong and gusty, especially east of the Pennines. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
That westerly wind will make it feel cooler. Tomorrow will be more like | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
13 or 14 at best through the afternoon. We get tomorrow out of | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
the way, and that high pressure starts to build so we will have a | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
cold night tomorrow night with a decent day on Thursday. Make most of | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
it because it is wet and windy. Things quieten down again towards | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
the weekend. For Cumbria, we get tomorrow showers, then it is dry and | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
bread. 13 is cooler than it has been, wet and windy on Friday again. | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
South`easterly winds the cup. Dry up mostly cloudy on Saturday. A similar | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
picture for the north`east. A sunny picture on Thursday, drying up in | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
time for the weekend. Paul, you are an asset, thank you. | :27:02. | :27:11. | |
The former Conservative Prime Minister Sir John Major has called | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
for a one`off profit tax on big an edge companies. The last person to | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
be investigated over the leaking of details concerning the expenses of | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
Cumbria's crime commission has been told she will not face prosecution. | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
And that's it from us. In tomorrow's Look North, we'll be live in Paris | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
as the detailed route of the Grand Depart is revealed. A special report | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
from North Yorkshire as they prepare to welcome cycling's elite next | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
year. That's going to be quite something. | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Fantastic. That is it for now. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :27:42. |
