:00:00. > :00:12.the BBC news at six. Hello and welcome to Monday's Look
:00:13. > :00:16.North. Tonight. He died in an industrial steam oven in a factory
:00:17. > :00:22.and an inquest tries to find out why he went in. One of the North's rural

:00:36. > :00:40.And, oh, deer! Has anyone seen Borneo, the spooked reindeer who
:00:41. > :00:43.fled for his own elf and safety? It was a momentous weekend for
:00:44. > :00:47.Newcastle United but what exactly did this lot have to do with the
:00:48. > :01:01.magpies first win at Old Trafford in more than 40 years?
:01:02. > :01:09.First, just why did a factory worker end up inside an industrial steam
:01:10. > :01:14.oven which reach temperatures of up to 145 Celsius? Angus has heard how
:01:15. > :01:18.this man's death would have been rapid after he got into the machine
:01:19. > :01:23.at the Pirelli factory last September. He had been making rubber
:01:24. > :01:29.coated hoops for use in tyres when, for some reason, he entered the
:01:30. > :01:33.oven. George folder's body was found in a
:01:34. > :01:39.machine that reach temperatures of 145 Celsius but today medical
:01:40. > :01:42.experts agreed the residual heat inside the industrial steam oven
:01:43. > :01:46.would have overcome the factory worker before it was even switched
:01:47. > :01:51.on. The 48`year`old father of two had been making rubber coated wire
:01:52. > :01:56.rings used to strengthen ties at the Pirelli factory in Carlisle. The
:01:57. > :02:01.process involved hardening them in an auto cave, a large steel cylinder
:02:02. > :02:05.into which steam is pumped. Each cycle lasts 15 minutes. The
:02:06. > :02:09.temperature would have been at its peak. Home Office pathologist Alice
:02:10. > :02:18.Armer said her postmortem examination showed no evidence of a
:02:19. > :02:22.salt or third`party involvement. `` of salt. The temperature would have
:02:23. > :02:29.been 80 Celsius, even between cycles and the metal walls would have been
:02:30. > :02:34.at a heat of 135 Celsius. She told being quest that environment would
:02:35. > :02:39.have been so hostile, his death would have been extremely rapid
:02:40. > :02:43.after entering the oven. Health and safety inspector Michael Griffiths
:02:44. > :02:47.said that the man went into the machine at around 4pm on Sunday 30th
:02:48. > :02:52.of September last year. His collie could have shut the door without
:02:53. > :02:58.seeing him. `` his colleague. The coroner told jurors that there would
:02:59. > :03:02.be some evidence the man suffered from anxiety but it would be
:03:03. > :03:05.challenged. Insurers were warned that the evidence they would see
:03:06. > :03:11.over the next five days would be awful and distressing. The man's
:03:12. > :03:14.wife became increasingly upset as details of his injuries were read
:03:15. > :03:18.out in court. Jurors have been caught they must try to work out why
:03:19. > :03:24.the man entered that machine in the first place. `` jurors have been
:03:25. > :03:27.told. More than three years on, and new
:03:28. > :03:30.revelations about the Raoul Moat shooting spree emerged today. At an
:03:31. > :03:34.inquest into the death of Christopher Brown, who was shot dead
:03:35. > :03:37.by Moat, the woman who both men had fallen for, took her turn in the
:03:38. > :03:41.witness box. And she accepted that she'd provoked a furious Moat by
:03:42. > :03:45.telling him Mr Brown would beat him in a fight, and she also admitted
:03:46. > :03:48.that she hadn't told Mr Brown of Moat's history with firearms. Our
:03:49. > :03:57.chief reporter Chris Stewart has the story. Moat was a man on the war
:03:58. > :04:01.path, the man heard today. And it started here. Lying in wait for his
:04:02. > :04:04.former partner and the new man in her life. The evidence of Samantha
:04:05. > :04:07.Stobbart today turned up details never known about before. Among them
:04:08. > :04:11.that Moat would frequently assault her and trash her home. That any man
:04:12. > :04:16.who so much approached her would risk a beating. And then she was
:04:17. > :04:26.asked if she'd ever seen Moat with a shotgun, and she said "no". But she
:04:27. > :04:29.was then referred to a state and which was never made public until
:04:30. > :04:35.today, the statement she made into the police in which she said she had
:04:36. > :04:42.seen Moat with shotguns on two occasions. She said, "yes, that was
:04:43. > :04:47.correct. " She was asked if she ever told her new boyfriend, Christopher
:04:48. > :04:56.Brown, that Moat had had possession of shotguns. She replied, "no.". The
:04:57. > :05:01.man representing Northumberland police asked about telephone
:05:02. > :05:11.conversations Ms Stobart had had with Moat. Under cross`examination,
:05:12. > :05:15.she accepted she was effectively throwing down the gauntlet to Moat.
:05:16. > :05:20.He continued. Chris might have known there was a fight ruling but he
:05:21. > :05:25.wouldn't have known that this was a man who had in the past possessed
:05:26. > :05:30.guns and you know being a black belt in any martial art is no defence to
:05:31. > :05:37.a gun. That, too, was accepted by Ms Stobart. She herself would be shot
:05:38. > :05:41.as would a policeman before Moat turned his gun on himself when he
:05:42. > :05:44.was trapped in Northumberland. Formal identification is due to take
:05:45. > :05:48.place on a body, recovered yesterday, from the River Wear in
:05:49. > :05:52.Durham. The police believe it could be that of missing Durham University
:05:53. > :05:57.student Sope Peters. He was last seen on a night out in Durham city
:05:58. > :06:00.at the end of October. His family have been informed, and an inquest
:06:01. > :06:03.is expected to open in the next few days.
:06:04. > :06:05.Some patients, travelling by ambulance to Accident and Emergency
:06:06. > :06:08.departments in the north`east, are waiting in the vehicles much longer
:06:09. > :06:13.than the recommended 15 minutes, figures show. The average handover
:06:14. > :06:16.time for the north`east Ambulance Service NHS Trust was just under ten
:06:17. > :06:21.minutes, during a 12`week period from August to October this year.
:06:22. > :06:25.However, the longest handover times ranged from just over an hour and a
:06:26. > :06:29.half, to almost three and three`quarter hours. The figures
:06:30. > :06:37.were obtained by the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act. Rothbury
:06:38. > :06:43.in Northumberland will become the first place in Britain to be
:06:44. > :06:47.connected to superfast broadband as part of a government scheme. The
:06:48. > :06:49.Rural Community Fund will see the village and surrounding areas
:06:50. > :06:51.connected. But while the information superhighway's on its way, one of
:06:52. > :06:54.Rothbury's more conventional highways has been closed for nearly
:06:55. > :07:00.a year. Here's our political correspondent Mark Denten.
:07:01. > :07:05.A small ceremony by Rothbury and the start of a new area in the village.
:07:06. > :07:09.It is the first community in Britain to get superfast broadband as part
:07:10. > :07:15.of a government Rural Community Fund. We could get ?17 billion up
:07:16. > :07:21.left in the economy because of this. That, ?4.6 billion could be in rural
:07:22. > :07:26.communities and 90% would be outside London and the Home Counties. We
:07:27. > :07:33.will be laying 660 kilometres of new fibre across the county. Bringing
:07:34. > :07:36.fibre to Rothbury is very difficult and rebuilding the local
:07:37. > :07:41.infrastructure to put fibre in so that the fastest broadband can be
:07:42. > :07:45.delivered is very tricky. Huge logistical challenge. While I rapid
:07:46. > :07:53.superhighways coming here one of Rothbury's normal highways remains
:07:54. > :07:58.very slow. In fact, it is shut. The B6344 has been closed since Boxing
:07:59. > :08:01.Day last year. Would people preferred the information
:08:02. > :08:07.superhighway? We would prefer as a business owner the road open, to be
:08:08. > :08:12.quite honest. That would benefit our business far more than superfast
:08:13. > :08:16.broadband. What would you prefer? Very quick Internet or an open
:08:17. > :08:24.road? For my business, a road. Simply because I have customers that
:08:25. > :08:29.don't come here now. That is it. I am down on takings. I don't even
:08:30. > :08:34.have a computer or anything. Would you rather have the information
:08:35. > :08:40.superhighway or a highway? I'd rather have a highway. There's one
:08:41. > :08:44.more thing. We were hoping to send you this report through the magic of
:08:45. > :08:49.the new superfast broadband but we can't. BT tell us we'd have to place
:08:50. > :08:51.an order first. It seems both highways and superhighways take
:08:52. > :08:55.their time. Mark Denten is with me now. When can
:08:56. > :09:02.we all expect to benefit from this super fast broadband? Well, there is
:09:03. > :09:06.no doubt this is the news and good news for Rothbury that the superfast
:09:07. > :09:10.broadband is on the way. Not everybody in Rothbury and the
:09:11. > :09:14.surrounding areas will get it until March. Crucially, you need to
:09:15. > :09:17.actually say you want it, even if you've got another form of
:09:18. > :09:22.Internet, you must actually say and an engineer will come round and
:09:23. > :09:25.fitted. In terms of other areas, the target is 95% of homes and
:09:26. > :09:31.businesses with that superfast broadband right 2016. The difficult
:09:32. > :09:37.thing is going to be that final 5% because no one knows exactly how
:09:38. > :09:42.much that will cost. And about the road, don't hold your breath. Either
:09:43. > :09:49.because of complicated eulogy and the need to tender contracts, work
:09:50. > :09:52.might not start until 2015. Oh, dear. Thank you for coming in.
:09:53. > :09:56.It's officially one of the best places in the world to enjoy the
:09:57. > :09:58.wonders of the universe. Northumberland National Park joins a
:09:59. > :10:01.handful of international destinations given top status for
:10:02. > :10:04.their exceptional dark skies. Hannah Bayman is deep in the heart of
:10:05. > :10:11.darkest Northumberland right now and can tell us more.
:10:12. > :10:16.Thank you. Welcome to the darkest place in England. I'm in the village
:10:17. > :10:21.of stone hearth and this village in Northumberland is hundreds of miles
:10:22. > :10:26.`` and hundreds of miles of surrounding countryside has become
:10:27. > :10:30.part of the dark sky Park, a sought`after accolade and people
:10:31. > :10:35.here are celebrating with telescopes and binoculars and an impromptu
:10:36. > :10:40.party tonight. It becomes one of only 13 dark sky Parks globally and
:10:41. > :10:43.one of a handful outside the United States. People have been working
:10:44. > :10:46.hard to get this status and we'll find out more about what they've
:10:47. > :10:48.been doing in a moment. First, let's take a look at why they think this
:10:49. > :10:56.is a good thing. Enjoying the beauty of our dark
:10:57. > :11:05.skies. From telescopes in Northumberland, enthusiasts look
:11:06. > :11:14.millions of years back in time. We can see Orion. You can see the three
:11:15. > :11:17.bright stars. First night out, it is exciting, I've learnt lots, it's
:11:18. > :11:20.been a great night. This meter measures light pollution. Here in
:11:21. > :11:28.rural Northumberland, it is lower than anywhere else in England. When
:11:29. > :11:32.you get away from light pollution, you see so much more. Not just stars
:11:33. > :11:38.but you can see something like the Andromeda Galaxy two and a half
:11:39. > :11:43.million miles away. It is possible to do that in Northumberland. It has
:11:44. > :11:46.inspired me to get involved in this, so I will do a degree in physics
:11:47. > :11:50.because of the inspiration I've gained from living in a place with
:11:51. > :11:53.dark skies. To win the status, outside lighting here has been cut
:11:54. > :11:56.to hit stringent targets. Fewer than 2,000 people live inside the park,
:11:57. > :12:01.which stretches over 1,000 square kilometres from the Borders to the
:12:02. > :12:07.Tyne Valley. More than twice as big as Galloway Dark Sky Park and now
:12:08. > :12:10.the largest in Europe. A new ?11 million visitor centre and Youth
:12:11. > :12:16.Hostel is also planned for the park at Once Brewed on Hadrian's Wall.
:12:17. > :12:25.And the hope is that Dark Sky Park status will mean a big boost for
:12:26. > :12:27.tourism. So the Milky Way is streaking across the phone. And you
:12:28. > :12:33.can see that without the knot dealers. Yes, when the moon is not
:12:34. > :12:35.shining. Here at his guest cottages, farmer John Wilson is already
:12:36. > :12:43.offering stargazer breaks, with binoculars, torches and star charts
:12:44. > :12:47.in every room. We're getting people to come here because we've got
:12:48. > :12:51.really dark skies. They came up midnight won and no was a family
:12:52. > :12:58.lying on a sheet, just gazing up at the stars. It is amazing! It is
:12:59. > :13:04.great to bring so much joy to people like that, they don't experience
:13:05. > :13:08.this when they are at home. It'll have a huge impact on the local
:13:09. > :13:11.community in terms of tourism and bringing people into the area, some
:13:12. > :13:16.from my point of view, it is true wonders. `` so, from my point of
:13:17. > :13:20.view. And it's not just astronomers who come out at night. Ecologists
:13:21. > :13:24.say dark skies are good for native wildlife too. I am really pleased
:13:25. > :13:28.about the status. The sorts of animals that will thrive are the
:13:29. > :13:37.ones that are very much adapted to night`time. So, owls, small mammals,
:13:38. > :13:41.foxes, badgers, and bats. Of course, with this fantastic dark sky
:13:42. > :13:45.we have here, they are not disturbed from their feeding patterns and they
:13:46. > :13:51.can go about their business catching them ages. Everyone will be glad to
:13:52. > :13:54.hear that thousands of midges are eaten every night. We should be
:13:55. > :13:58.thankful for bats flying around our head. So, while we might not have as
:13:59. > :14:01.much warm sunshine as some parts of the country, we now officially have
:14:02. > :14:13.the darkest skies. Could this inky blackness pull in as many tourists
:14:14. > :14:16.as blazing sunshine? With me is an astronomer and a
:14:17. > :14:23.member of the group that has led the Bedford this status. What kind of
:14:24. > :14:27.things have people had to do here? Not that much because we did an
:14:28. > :14:31.external lighting audit which showed we were compliant with the dark
:14:32. > :14:35.skies socio rules. The really big thing that has happened is the
:14:36. > :14:41.street lights. We've got modern LED lights that don't spill light, much
:14:42. > :14:46.more efficient and I think are safer as well. What's special about the
:14:47. > :14:50.park? What is special about the area that has got the Milky Way
:14:51. > :14:55.stretching from horizon to horizon? It is an magical place. That is why
:14:56. > :15:00.we want to protect and promote it. Is it the worry that a big influx of
:15:01. > :15:07.visitors could spoiler to? I don't think so. Galloway they have had a
:15:08. > :15:13.lift in occupancy and hotels and bed and breakfast, and we want to see
:15:14. > :15:17.that. It is sustainable tourism, it is off`season tourism, and we can
:15:18. > :15:26.make a go of it. Also with me, Moira, a resident. What is the
:15:27. > :15:30.reaction? Absolutely fantastic. No complaints at all. Has it been a
:15:31. > :15:36.nuisance to change your street lighting? Not at all, no. It is not
:15:37. > :15:41.difficult to find your way home in the dark? Nobody is frightened of
:15:42. > :15:46.the dark up here! It's fine. What will it mean for the village? We
:15:47. > :15:51.will get some visitors, they will see where we live, what it's like.
:15:52. > :15:56.It's great. Had you been into astronomy before? Had you seen some
:15:57. > :16:01.sites? Not at all, I look forward to seeing them. So, from the darkest
:16:02. > :16:07.place in the country, back to the studio.
:16:08. > :16:11.Coming back down to earth now. Have you seen Borneo? Not the island, we
:16:12. > :16:15.are talking about a reindeer who is missing in Cumbria. Borneo escaped
:16:16. > :16:18.from his compound at Whinlatter Forest near Keswick after being
:16:19. > :16:22.frightened by a pet dog which had somehow got into his pen. Borneo
:16:23. > :16:28.jumped a six foot fence and hasn't been seen since. Graham Moss joined
:16:29. > :16:33.the search for him. The empty pen, but no sign of Borneo. Work is under
:16:34. > :16:38.way to make the compound escape proof with two new reindeer due to
:16:39. > :16:42.arrive. Wednesday night, unfortunately, a member of the
:16:43. > :16:48.public was using the forest and their dog got into the pen behind me
:16:49. > :16:53.where we had two reindeer. He chased them. Unfortunately, and one of the
:16:54. > :16:56.animals jumped out. It disappeared off into the forest. The Forestry
:16:57. > :17:01.Commission have released this image of Borneo. He is seven, his
:17:02. > :17:06.distinguishing features, aside from his antlers, are that he has dark
:17:07. > :17:17.facial markings. He is partial to liken, `` lichen. He should be fine.
:17:18. > :17:23.There is nothing that he will be unsettled to. When he gets over to
:17:24. > :17:27.the open fell, it is very much like the Cairngorms, where he's from. The
:17:28. > :17:34.thing is, he will be wondering, so that is why we'd like him back. This
:17:35. > :17:42.is big, 3,000 acres of forest, that is a lot of trees. The fact is that
:17:43. > :17:50.Borneo could be anywhere. It is big. We missed it. The reindeer is
:17:51. > :18:00.missing. Where have you been looking? In the trees. Today's new
:18:01. > :18:06.arrivals checked out their reinforced compound. However, as
:18:07. > :18:14.some young visitors seemed very keen on another reindeer. As the search
:18:15. > :18:22.for Borneo continues. Let's hope he turns up in time for Christmas.
:18:23. > :18:27.It's not often we start Teamtalk with a little bit of history, but
:18:28. > :18:30.that's exactly what it was this weekend when Newcastle beat
:18:31. > :18:33.Manchester United, the first time the Magpies have won at Old Trafford
:18:34. > :18:37.in the Premier League. In fact, the last time they won there was back in
:18:38. > :18:41.1972 when Joe Harvey the Fairs Cup winning Manager was in charge and it
:18:42. > :18:48.was against a team which included some of the most iconic names in the
:18:49. > :18:50.football. `` iconic names in football. George Best, Bobby
:18:51. > :18:53.Charlton and Dennis Law. But it was Stewart Barraclough and John Tudor
:18:54. > :18:57.who scored the all important goals that day. They were the heroes on
:18:58. > :19:02.12th February 1972, but who were the heroes who broke the 41`year jinx on
:19:03. > :19:07.Saturday? Well, this lot. Spiderman, Superman, Batman and Iron Man to
:19:08. > :19:10.name but a few. The Newcastle team celebrated the victory at Old
:19:11. > :19:17.Trafford by getting dressed up for their Christmas Party in Dublin. It
:19:18. > :19:21.was cancelled last year, remember. As well as the superheroes, Davide
:19:22. > :19:23.Santon sported a Mickey Mouse outfit but there was nothing Mickey Mouse
:19:24. > :19:26.about Saturday's performance. Newcastle got stuck in straightaway,
:19:27. > :19:29.this tackle from Yohan Cabaye left no one in any doubt about the
:19:30. > :19:32.approach, although his fifth yellow card means he'll miss the game
:19:33. > :19:36.against Southampton. It may have been a good time to play David Moyes
:19:37. > :19:39.side with Wayne Rooney suspended, but Newcastle were the better team
:19:40. > :19:43.in every department. Player of the Month Tim Krul had to make some
:19:44. > :19:45.impressive saves, though, not to mention this clearance from Vurnon
:19:46. > :19:49.Anita. I'm sure it was unintentional, but it did hit his
:19:50. > :19:52.hand. David Moyes convinced that should have been a penalty. But
:19:53. > :19:56.Newcastle's goal was a beauty, Moussa Sissoko getting the best of
:19:57. > :20:00.Patrice Evra before putting in a perfect cross for Cabaye to score a
:20:01. > :20:03.goal he, and the fans, will never forget. United, Newcastle United,
:20:04. > :20:10.that is, are becoming a force to be reckoned with. We can change our
:20:11. > :20:15.tactics and win, and we are confident to do that which makes us
:20:16. > :20:21.dangerous. We had contributions from everybody, I am delighted. The
:20:22. > :20:24.biggest hero of the day was our fans. They were brilliant in the
:20:25. > :20:30.corner. They are still going, you can still hear them now. They've
:20:31. > :20:33.been waiting 41 years. Well, while Newcastle are climbing
:20:34. > :20:36.higher up the Premier League table, Sunderland can't sink much lower.
:20:37. > :20:40.This is how it looks at the bottom, with the Black Cats five points
:20:41. > :20:43.adrift of safety after a second home defeat inside five days.
:20:44. > :20:47.Head Coach Gus Poyet has set the team a target of doubling their
:20:48. > :20:50.points total by the end of the year, but the Black Cats are in danger of
:20:51. > :20:58.being cast adrift, because the teams around them have started winning.
:20:59. > :21:06.They are just not scoring enough goals. Last year's top scorer
:21:07. > :21:11.Fletcher is not looking the part. Now this was a blatant handball from
:21:12. > :21:21.Sandra but it went unpunished by the referee. 15 passes strung together
:21:22. > :21:28.before this felt Adam Johnson. He can kick with his right foot! But
:21:29. > :21:36.then Spurs equalised. The defence went to sleep, you can't afford to
:21:37. > :21:41.do that. Early in the second half, it was an own goal from O Shea that
:21:42. > :21:49.gave Tottenham the points, the fifth and goals Sunderland have scored
:21:50. > :21:58.under Gus Poyet, unbelievable. `` the fifth home go. `` fifth own
:21:59. > :22:08.goal. Gust says it is not due to bad luck. I don't believe in confidence.
:22:09. > :22:13.I am not taking third. Nothing to hide. You can be unlucky once or
:22:14. > :22:18.twice. If people keep believing this is unlucky, we don't have enough
:22:19. > :22:24.luck, they are very naive. That is not true.
:22:25. > :22:33.Middlesbrough coach is cutting a frustrated figure. Too many mistakes
:22:34. > :22:36.and dropped points. This game, with Birmingham city, it looked at times
:22:37. > :22:46.Middlesbrough might record a first away win since August. They got in
:22:47. > :22:50.front. Chris Burke drew that foul in the box 's. They equalised from the
:22:51. > :23:00.spot. Middlesbrough did equalise later. But three points were to be.
:23:01. > :23:06.Carl Barclay's header came three minutes into stoppage time. They are
:23:07. > :23:13.four points above the drop zone. Hard to take that one.
:23:14. > :23:20.Steve Bruce's Hull City won't have too far to travel to the Riverside.
:23:21. > :23:26.Cardiff City won't fancy a trip to Saint James 's Park either the way
:23:27. > :23:31.Newcastle are playing. Canon Graham Kavanagh's return to Sunderland
:23:32. > :23:45.inspire an upset? That will be interesting. James Berra put them
:23:46. > :23:52.ahead. Wigan fought back in the second half. That was an own goal.
:23:53. > :24:02.Lee Miller had issues. Two goals in form and it effectively won it. ``
:24:03. > :24:03.two goals in four minutes. There was a few nervous minutes at the end
:24:04. > :24:22.from Carlisle. Carl Baker's early volley put the
:24:23. > :24:29.visitors in front. They did have a chance to equalise but had to wait a
:24:30. > :24:31.long time before they set up that replay.
:24:32. > :24:34.Away from football, it was derby day for our two top`flight basketball
:24:35. > :24:38.teams. Once again, Newcastle Eagles came out on top against the Durham
:24:39. > :24:42.Wildcats. With Danny Huffor finding his range, the Wildcats were ahead
:24:43. > :24:46.at the halfway stage, but only by a point. And the Eagles came storming
:24:47. > :24:49.back in the second half, with Scott Martin hitting 21 points as the
:24:50. > :24:55.visitors eased home to a comfortable victory, 90`75. They're in a
:24:56. > :25:03.three`way tie at the top with Worcester Wolves and Sheffield
:25:04. > :25:07.Sharks. The Wildcats are seventh. Away from the sport, onto the
:25:08. > :25:12.weather. It was mild this morning, getting warmer!
:25:13. > :25:21.Temperatures in double figures. It is a mild but rather misty, grey
:25:22. > :25:27.Lake District shot. Over the next few days, things are set to stay
:25:28. > :25:32.relatively mild. They should stay frost free. It will be breezy at
:25:33. > :25:36.times with the winds coming up from the south. That could be some patchy
:25:37. > :25:40.rain in western areas but all in all, things staying on the mild
:25:41. > :25:45.side. Tonight, a fair amount of cloud, with a few gaps, but there
:25:46. > :25:51.will be enough cloud with the breeze to keep the temperatures from
:25:52. > :25:57.dropping. As I say, falls three overnight the night. Tomorrow, mild
:25:58. > :26:01.and breezy. There will be cloud around for most, thick enough for
:26:02. > :26:08.the odd spot of drizzle in Cumbria but come further east, there will be
:26:09. > :26:11.a few breaks in the cloud, and it will be mild with temperatures
:26:12. > :26:18.making it a double figures. We should see 11 Celsius. That
:26:19. > :26:22.south`westerly wind is gusty and brisk at times. Heading through the
:26:23. > :26:27.next few days, high pressure of mainland Europe tries to build,
:26:28. > :26:30.squeezes those weather fronts away through the middle part of the week,
:26:31. > :26:36.eventually giving in as we piling from the Northwest and they will get
:26:37. > :26:41.thicker with cloud and more outbreaks of rain becoming
:26:42. > :26:44.widespread heading towards the tail end of the working week. Out and
:26:45. > :26:48.about after tomorrow in Cumbria, mostly dry through the day on
:26:49. > :26:54.Wednesday, the cloud braking to give brightness, thicker cloud heading
:26:55. > :26:58.through Thursday. Into Friday, still the risk of some showers. It will be
:26:59. > :27:02.on the breezy side and temperatures will stay in the mild category.
:27:03. > :27:07.Double figures for most days. It'll be cool by the end of the working
:27:08. > :27:10.week. Not bad considering we are heading for the middle of December.
:27:11. > :27:16.A similar picture for the north`east, a dry day with some
:27:17. > :27:21.cloud, more cloud for money on Thursday. Still some showers on
:27:22. > :27:29.Friday. The overnight temperatures stay well clear of frost categories
:27:30. > :27:32.for most of us, even if it does stay on the breezy side. Keep your
:27:33. > :27:36.weather pictures coming in. Two weeks to the big day, is it a white
:27:37. > :27:43.Christmas? I can't tell you! Join us tomorrow
:27:44. > :27:48.at 6:30pm. Goodbye.
