Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. Tonight: A former police | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
authority chief is cleared of witness intimidation. This has been | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
a particularly horrendous year for me and my family. I'm glad it's | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
over. Shop till you drop. We join the last | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
minute festive rush in the North's stores. Meanwhile the great getaway | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
is underway ` why Christmas at home isn't for everyone. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
And thinking inside the box ` the art gallery with standing room only! | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
In sport, can the Black Cats catch out | :00:36. | :00:51. | |
And boxing clever ` the fighter aiming to become the region's first | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
World Champion in the ring for a quarter of a century! | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
First tonight, the former chief of a North East police authority has been | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
cleared of intimidating a witness. Dave McLuckie, who was chairman of | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Cleveland Police Authority, was accused of visiting the witness' | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
home and saying "You don't know what I can do." The witness had spoken to | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
detectives as part of Operation Sacristy, a long`running | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
investigation into corruption. Damian O'Neil reports. Dave McLuckie | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
walked free after a three day trial in which the court heard that he | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
intimidated Peter Blyth, a witness involved in Operation Sacristy. The | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
jury found him not guilty of witness intimidation, and of an alternative | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
charge of attempting to intimidate a witness. I'm delighted the jury came | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
to the decision they did. I want to thank them all. This has been a | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
particularly horrendous year for me and my family. I'm glad it's over. I | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
want to go home, have a night out with my family and have a good | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
Christmas. Earlier this year, Mr McLuckie was jailed for eight months | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
for persuading a friend to accept speeding points on his driving | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
licence. Dave McLuckie is hugely relieved he'll be spending Christmas | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
at home with his family, but for him the New Year also brings with it a | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
return to the ongoing investigation into corruption at Cleveland Police | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Authority at a time when he was the chairman. | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
A Cumbrian man who was a director of a haulage firm has been jailed for | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
two years after admitting tachograph fraud. 42`year`old William Ross of | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Wigton was a director of Ross International Haulage Ltd. He was | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
banned from driving for 18 months and disqualified from being a | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
company director for five years. 16 other employees were also sentenced | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
at Carlisle Crown Court today for conspiracy to falsify tachograph | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
records after a three year investigation by Cumbria Police and | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Four used`car salesmen from Middlesbrough have been given | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
community service orders for fraudulently applying for loans for | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
customers. The four ` who all work at Acklam Car Centre ` made | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
applications to finance companies on behalf of car buyers. But to ensure | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
the loans were given, they would inflate the value of vehicles by | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
claiming the cars had done fewer miles than shown on the clock, or | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
that they were newer models than in reality. All four stood to gain | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
commission from subsequently selling the cars. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Police say they're concerned for the welfare of a 13`year`old girl | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
missing from her home in Sunderland since Monday afternoon. Nadia | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Wright, also known as Nadia Creighton, was last seen in the | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Castletown area of Sunderland. She said she was going to see a friend. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
She was wearing black leggings, brown knee`high boots, a grey vest | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
top and a multi`coloured scarf. Police are urging anyone who knows | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
where she is to get in touch. It's the final countdown. Just four | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
shopping days to Christmas left and the festive frenzy on the North's | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
high streets is in full swing. Traders are hoping for a big | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
pre`Christmas boost. 7.5 million people have already visited one of | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
our biggest shopping centres ` Eldon Square in Newcastle ` in the run up | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
to Christmas. Online sales have grown to just under 12% of all | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
retail spending, but it seems shoppers here are still heading out | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
to the stores in huge numbers. Stephanie is live for us tonight at | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Eldon Square. Steph, has it been chocca? The big Christmas shop is | :04:34. | :04:47. | |
underway! It's the last weekend. It's going to get even busier. Here, | :04:48. | :04:59. | |
in the last six weeks, 7.5 million people have visited. These are the | :05:00. | :05:12. | |
must`have gifts. The latest Xbox. The latest Furbie as well! But with | :05:13. | :05:27. | |
a big squeeze on incomes are shoppers saying bah humbug or not? | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Within budget. Definitely within budget. I tend to indulge the people | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
I know. I enjoy giving. I haven't spent as much as normal. We agreed a | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
certain budget and we've stuck to it. I save all year round so I like | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
to buy presents. Definitely over. I've just moved house so I said I | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
wouldn't... But I always go over. I can't resist! Everything looks so | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
good, I couldn't help myself. Some things caught my eye and I thought | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
why not! Well traders will of course be hoping these last few days before | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Christmas will provide a much needed boost to their takings in what's | :06:12. | :06:25. | |
been another challenging year. Online sales have grown. Some of the | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
big stores are really pushing their websites. This is what the manager | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
of Eldon Square had to say. There's very little difference in numbers. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
We're very marginally down against last year in terms of the total | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
numbers. A lot of people are looking online but also coming in and | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
shopping. There's a lot of click`and`collect. People are | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
looking online, making sure they can get what they want and then coming | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
in to get the rest of their shopping. For us it's a win`win | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
situation. So with competition from big name retailers and online, are | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
shops who rely on passing trade feeling the winter chill? We've been | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
speaking to an independent retailer who says it's been a really tough | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
year. Business this year has been difficult. People are a look more | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
careful about their spending. We also have competition from online | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
retailers. It's been difficult. We've had to work hard. In Cumbria, | :07:39. | :08:02. | |
an independent butcher's say it's been very busy.Well the North's food | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
retailers are also gearing up for their busiest weekend. Graham Moss | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
went food shopping in Penrith in Cumbria. Meet the stars of the show. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
These turkeys are waiting for a Christmas home. We love our food, | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
particularly at this time of year. But what about those in the business | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of providing it? We're in the thick of it. Busy time of year. We produce | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
an awful lot of what we sell. If we're not busy up front, we're | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
beavering away in the background! It's going pretty well! Next | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Wednesday is coming around pretty fast... So how are the preparations | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
going? They're underway. The turkey's ordered and to be collected | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
later. But I've got other priorities ` a 35th wedding anniversary on the | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
horizon, so I've got friends and family coming over for that too! | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
Food is important to me as you can probably tell by my stature! | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
Christmas wouldn't be the same without the turkey and the stuffing. | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
I prefer beef. I'm sorry! Turkey? Definitely. And some nice wine will | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
be a centrepiece for our family! Turkey's still the big thing. But it | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
does change. Customers are ordering smaller turkeys or turkey crowns. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
They're popular. You never quite know when the customer will come. | :09:29. | :09:41. | |
But they always do! And so, with the weekend still to come, it seems that | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
things are set to get even busier in the coming days. So Steph, it seems | :09:46. | :10:03. | |
very busy down there and as we've heard some people are obviously | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
throwing caution to the wind and going on a spending spree. But | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
others have got different ideas about Christmas, haven't they? At | :10:10. | :10:21. | |
Christmas it's all about having fun! Tens of thousands of people here in | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
the North are heading to warmer climes for the holiday period. In | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
fact they're expecting around 100,000 people departing from ` and | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
arriving at ` Newcastle Airport between now and the start of 2014. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Amy Lee has this report. It's the most wonderful time of the year ` | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
especially if you're just about to jet away for the holidays! This is | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
Newcastle Airport at the start of the great Christmas getaway. It's an | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
extremely busy time. We expect to see 100,000 passengers coming and | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
going. 800 to 900 flights arriving and departing. Tenerife, Dubai and | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
Spain are some of the most popular routes ` the warmer temperatures and | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
sunny skies may well have something to do with that! What was it about | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
Tenerife that made you want to leave the lovely North East for | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Christmas!? It's lovely! Christmas isn't just about people who want to | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
escape to warmer, sunnier climates. It's also about people heading back | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
here to the North East to visit family and friends. This month marks | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
the start of the skiing season, too. The Swiss Alps is a favourite | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
destination. We're skiing in Geneva. We're going back home to Geneva. | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
We've lived there for 40 years. I've just been over visiting my mum... | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
And watching Newcastle play! The number of passengers is expected to | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
stay higher than usual right through to New Year's Day ` meaning there's | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
still some time to go before staff here can enjoy their own Christmas | :11:55. | :11:55. | |
getaway! Now, when you think of day`to`day | :11:56. | :12:11. | |
police work what springs to mind? Tackling car crime perhaps, drug | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
raids, or the patrolling of city streets at night? Well there are | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
some unsung heroes who work on more remote beats, helping wildlife, and | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
tackling dangerous criminals deep in the countryside. One of them is PC | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
John Wilbor, who's based at Richmond in North Yorkshire. John's just won | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
the World Wildlife Fund's "Enforcer of the Year" award. Our reporter | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Phil Chapman joined him on patrol. The Enforcer sounds like a character | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
from an 80s American cop show but you can forget the streets of New | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
York. For many people in remote parts of North Yorkshire this | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
wildlife enforcer is their hero ` fighting rural crime. If it wasn't | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
for him the place wouldn't be safe. There would be poachers. I wouldn't | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
want to approach them. They could do anything. We'd like more enforcers | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
but there's a budget. He's good at what he does. John is modest about | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
the work he does. He's more likely to thank his network of volunteers, | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
who act as his eyes and ears. I work closely with the community. We set | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
up an initiative called Border Watch. It's a pro`active watch | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
scheme during the night. We patrol the area. After seeing him work | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
tirelessly for years, people who work with John have been queuing up | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
to congratulate him. John works seven nights a week and covers | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
hundreds of miles. It's excellent. I'm pleased he's won the award. John | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
is such a dedicated police officer. The work he's done... He brings | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
everybody on board. John has managed to mobilise the community through | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
Border Watch. They help themselves against the invasion of criminals. | :14:00. | :14:10. | |
This team`work between the police and the public has paid off many | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
times. These brazen, day`time poachers were caught flushing out | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
hares with dogs. Using the 2004 Hunting Wild Mammals Act, John's | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
surveillance resulted in convictions. But things can get | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
worse at night. The partnership has caught people 'lamping' ` a method | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
of hunting nocturnal animals using high`powered lights. We took a | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
vantage point near this location and watched it take place. We were able | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
to pinpoint where they were. They were interviewed, reported for the | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
offence and later attended court to be convicted. After all his hard | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
work, John's now hoping for a quiet and uneventful Christmas... If | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
that's at all possible. While rural crime continues, he can never really | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
rest in his efforts to keep wildlife safe in North Yorkshire. | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
They're 1970s chart`toppers and one of the North's most celebrated | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
groups. Lindisfarne split ten years ago ` and that brought an end to | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
their legendary Christmas concerts at Newcastle's City Hall. But now | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
there's a new line`up and tonight they return for the first of three | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
sell`out shows. It promises to be a nostalgic night. As Andrew Hartley | :15:30. | :15:43. | |
reports. He swore he'd never do it again. But here he is just hours | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
from his first Christmas Show with Lindisfarne at Newcastle City Hall | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
in 23 years. Ray Jackson, one of the original band members, back in | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
business with a new line`up. It's a bit scary. We've planned it for | :16:01. | :16:15. | |
ages. It's a big show. The expectations are heavy to bear! The | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Lindisfarne Christmas concerts at Newcastle's City Hall ` one raucous | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
rock`show ` were a Tyneside institution, repeated more than 130 | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
times over 17 years until the early 90s. We used to bring in 2,200 | :16:26. | :16:43. | |
people per night. It was special. Great atmosphere. One of the | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
highlights of coming home was going to see them. A real tradition. | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
Tonight they'll be doing it like they did in 1976. It's the first of | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
three sold`out shows. Unabashed nostalgia and one big boisterous | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
party. This band's not just for Christmas. Ray Jackson's Lindisfarne | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
plan further gigs throughout 2014, and it would be a safe bet that | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
they'll be back at the City Hall next Christmas to do it all again. | :17:14. | :17:31. | |
Beautiful things come in small packages. But an art gallery in a | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
phone box? Hexham in Northumberland is claiming a unique experience, | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
with just that, and it created quite stir today with a champagne and | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
celeb opening. The Forge Art Gallery in Allendale decided it was the best | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
way to show off local talent in the town centre without massive | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
overheads. I had a quick look around after the big opening. This is | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
something novel. This is the Red Box Art Gallery in the centre of Hexham. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
It is actually an art gallery! You can see it's compact and tasteful! I | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
feel fully informed. Not only does it have a cleaner and a curator... | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
It has a celebrity to launch it! Robson Green, why have you got | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
behind this perfectly formed art gallery? It's definitely a first for | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
me ` opening the smallest art gallery in Hexham... The North... | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
The UK... The World? Art, wherever it's display, is there to inspire | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
people. It crosses barriers ` cultural, economic and racial. Come | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
here and you'll get a smile on your face! It's there to cheer you up! My | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
favourite bit about going to an art gallery is sitting down with a nice | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
cappuccino. You're going to have to bring a flask here! Yes, it's not | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
like observing Monet's Water Lilies in Paris. But it has its own | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
character. It's a great way for local and international artists to | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
display their work. It's great to learn things ` not only about an | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
area but also about ourselves. This has got to be one of your more | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
unusual jobs!? I know! I've been asked to open many things, but never | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
the smallest art gallery in the world! Thank you! That was worth it | :19:16. | :19:44. | |
for me! You're dumped! Time now for the sport. Whatever | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
happens this weekend, Sunderland will be bottom of the Premier League | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
at Christmas, and only one team ` West Bromwich Albion ` has managed | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
to stay in the top flight from that position. But if the Black Cats beat | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
Norwich tomorrow they'll at least stay in touch with the teams above | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
them. And after their League Cup victory over Chelsea on Tuesday you | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
wouldn't bet against them. The dramatic extra`time victory over | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Chelsea in the cup could be the turning point of Sunderland's | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
season. Gus Poyet hopes it will inspire a win against Norwich ` | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
three points they really need to stand a chance of avoiding | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
relegation. When you play extra`time against a top team, if you lose it | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
could take you two weeks to recover. You're devastated and tired. But if | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
you win... Mentally the players will be stronger. We want to take that | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
into the next game. There will be no excuses. It's been a roller`coaster | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
ride for Poyet, so is the new manager enjoying the experience? I'm | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
privileged. I'm manager of a Premier League club. It doesn't get better. | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
I'm trying to enjoy it. But when we lose I'm not a good person to be | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
around! Sunderland have a packed festive schedule with league and cup | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
fixtures coming fast. As long as Poyet's in the game, he'll never | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
understand why there's no winter break. The rest of the world are on | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
holiday. We have to play 250,000 games in a month`and`a`half. Nobody | :21:12. | :21:22. | |
will convince me. It's not normal. But we're here. We love it. We'll | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
try our best. For the second week in a row, | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
tomorrow's game for Newcastle United sees manager Alan Pardew come up | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
against one of his former clubs. Last week it was Southampton, where | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
he was team boss. This time the festive reunion is with the side who | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
gave him his break into league football. Christmas is a time for | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
celebration. Party hats. Jumpers. And for renewing old acquaintances. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
Crystal Palace gave Alan Pardew his first big break back in 1987. He | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
enjoyed four good years there. No surprise, then, that he's looking | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
forward to the trip back to Selhurst Park. It means a little bit more to | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
me because of the connection. I had fantastic times there. It's a great | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
club. I'm so pleased they've picked up under my old pal Tony Pulis. Good | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
choice by them. He's got the ball rolling. But we're playing really | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
well at the moment. So well, they're up to sixth in the table. The | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
dilemma is that could eventually land them with the same workload | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
problems as last year. I think the authorities should get together and | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
look at it. The demands of the Premier League are much greater than | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
the others. The impact is something we're wary of. I'll say that now. | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
But we're chasing a European spot and that's what we want to do. | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
BBC Newcastle will have full radio commentary on both those Premier | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
League games. And your local BBC stations will also keep you up to | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
date with the rest of the weekend fixtures. In the Championship, | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
Middlesbrough ` with just one win in their last seven matches ` go to | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Millwall. Carlisle travel to Walsall in League One. In League Two, | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Hartlepool take on Burton ` who're occupying one of the play`off places | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
` while York are at home to Oxford. And in Scottish League Two, Berwick | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
are away to Queen's Park. He's described himself as "a bit of | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
a tearaway" when he was a youngster. That was before his dad took him to | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
the local boxing club in Darlington. Now, 25 years later, former roofer | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Stuart Hall is on the brink of becoming the region's first World | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
boxing champion since Glenn McCrory in 1989. Mark Tulip looks ahead. If | :23:38. | :23:47. | |
taking up boxing as a kid changed his life then imagine what becoming | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
a World Champion might do. Here's Stuart Hall, now 33, on his way to | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
victory against Sergio Perales at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium back in | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
May. This is a much more gentle work out near his hometown of Darlington. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
Victory over Vusi Malinga in Leeds on Saturday night would see Hall win | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
the vacant IBF bantamweight title and make his own piece of sporting | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
history. I'm aware of that. I'd be the second North East World | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
Champion. Glenn McCrory has carried the baton for so long. I'll take it | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
off his shoulders. Hopefully it will encourage great boxers to come out | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
in the North East and follow in my footsteps. Hall has lost only two | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
fights since turning pro five years ago. He was glued to last Sunday's | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Sports Personality of the Year awards because he's fighting at the | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
same venue ` the Leeds Arena. It looks fantastic. I watched it the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
other night. It was a great feeling to know I'll be walking in there and | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
then walking out with the IBF belt. A few people will be coming down | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
from Darlington. It's a long`ish trip just before Christmas so I want | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
to thank them all. It's going to be great on the night. If he is crowned | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
Britain's latest World Boxing Champion, will the ex`roofer still | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
keep his feet firmly on the ground? Yeah! I'm going to win but I'll | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
still be the same. I won't change for anyone. I'll always be grounded. | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
I love my friends, my family and people I associate with. Nothing's | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
going to change. If Stuart can pull it off in Leeds and can become World | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Champion, we'll be able to stop using all of that grainy footage of | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
Glenn McCrory ` nearly 25 years ago! From Darlington, England, Stuart | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
Hall! Now for the weather. Lovely view | :25:31. | :26:04. | |
here. Thanks for the photo. Tonight we're back with the winds. Heavy | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
rain too. It will stay fairly mild. A risk of localised flooding. It | :26:16. | :26:27. | |
will be accompanied by winds. After midnight it's clearer skies. It | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
stays fairly windy. Gusts of 60 or 70 miles per hour. Five or six | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
Celsius. A windy start for many. Possibly showers. Hail and thunder | :26:47. | :26:59. | |
in places. Temperatures might make double figures. It will feel colder. | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
Low pressure in charge of the weather. Lots of lines on the chart! | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
Especially on Monday. Thank you. If you aren't around | :27:15. | :27:35. | |
later, we hope you have a great Christmas! I'll be in the pub | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
tonight... All the best everyone! | :27:42. | :27:46. |
