:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North.
:00:09. > :00:18.Tonight: The wild west. High winds, heavy rain and boiling seas lash the
:00:19. > :00:22.Cumbrian coast. It is amazing. I've never seen that appear under so much
:00:23. > :00:26.water. I've lived here for 30 years. Jailed for two years ` the woman at
:00:27. > :00:29.the centre of a big i`Pad fraud. The secret papers that reveal Margaret
:00:30. > :00:33.Thatcher's role in two of the most important industrial events in the
:00:34. > :00:37.North's history. And could the all American way of
:00:38. > :00:40.teaching our children make them more employable and better prepared for
:00:41. > :00:43.life? In sport, it's FA Cup weekend ` with
:00:44. > :00:47.Carlisle fans planning a Sunday afternoon invasion of Sunderland.
:00:48. > :00:54.And we salute Durham cricketer Ben Stokes: Born in New Zealand, but
:00:55. > :00:55.raised in Cumbria ` and the one bright spot of England's dreadful
:00:56. > :01:11.Ashes tour. Cumbria's been lashed by the latest
:01:12. > :01:14.winter storm to hit Britain. The west of the county was worst
:01:15. > :01:18.affected, by winds gusting up to sixty miles an hour, a spring tide
:01:19. > :01:23.of around nine metres and torrential rain which caused driving
:01:24. > :01:27.difficulties on at least 15 routes. Flood warnings were issued for the
:01:28. > :01:32.entire coastline from Gretna in the Scottish borders to Millom ` as well
:01:33. > :01:36.as Keswick in the Lake District. But, so far, there have been no
:01:37. > :01:39.reports of serious flooding. Well, our reporters and camera teams have
:01:40. > :01:42.been in West Cumbria since early light, and have been following
:01:43. > :01:48.events during the day. Let's cross live to Mark Mcalindon who's in
:01:49. > :01:54.Whitehaven for us. Mark, what's the situation there this evening?
:01:55. > :01:58.I guess you could say this is the calm after the storm. You might be
:01:59. > :02:04.able to see some light cast on the harder, but beyond that, is the
:02:05. > :02:12.outer harbour. When the tide was at its highest, today, the pier was
:02:13. > :02:17.almost totally submerged. No part of the Cumbrian coast has escaped. The
:02:18. > :02:24.tide has now receded, and another big one is expected tonight. We have
:02:25. > :02:26.only just begun to understand the scale of the problems. There is
:02:27. > :02:31.disruption on the rail line tonight, where flooding has
:02:32. > :02:41.prevented strains from running. Some of the roads are also affected, only
:02:42. > :02:46.passable with care. All day, Cumbria has been battered
:02:47. > :02:50.by storms. With six flood warnings in place, people braced themselves
:02:51. > :02:57.as high winds and heavy rain hit the county. It tied at lunchtime today,
:02:58. > :03:01.where huge waves crashed onto the shore, with sightseers gathering to
:03:02. > :03:12.take pictures of the spectacle. `` high tide. Home`made flood defences
:03:13. > :03:25.captain the waves at bay. It hasn't been this bad for a long time. I
:03:26. > :03:29.wasn't taking any chances. People are advised to stay away from
:03:30. > :03:33.coastal areas, but here, they couldn't resist a closer look. We
:03:34. > :03:42.thought we'd have a look at the waves and see how bad they were.
:03:43. > :03:45.They are truly awesome. This weather is unbelievable. I've lived here all
:03:46. > :03:56.my life and I've never seen it this bad. Is exciting but scary! Several
:03:57. > :04:00.roads are flooded, and debris made roads hazardous. The high tide has
:04:01. > :04:08.now passed, but the ground is soaking. At one point, the waves
:04:09. > :04:16.were said to be 40 feet high. The Environment Agency says, the impact
:04:17. > :04:20.was less than expected. But with high tide due again at around
:04:21. > :04:29.midnight, people are being urged to remain cautious and vigilance.
:04:30. > :04:32.People do need to remain vigilant. The best thing is to keep an eye on
:04:33. > :04:38.those flood warnings, and just check. Don't consider yourself safe
:04:39. > :04:50.until you get confirmation that the flood warnings have been taken off
:04:51. > :04:56.will stop. This has been a day of high drama, but thankfully, there
:04:57. > :05:11.were no great disasters. People here, are surprised by the frequency
:05:12. > :05:16.of the storms. We have seen storms like this about three times in the
:05:17. > :05:20.past month. That's the thing people are the most surprised about ` the
:05:21. > :05:24.frequency and severity of this weather. Well, Hannah Bayman joins
:05:25. > :05:32.me now. Hannah, an awful day in West Cumbria today. But it's not over yet
:05:33. > :05:36.is it? We are bracing ourselves for a weekend of wild and wintry
:05:37. > :05:44.weather. Across the north`east and Cumbria, over the few days. Today,
:05:45. > :05:48.it was those high tides. The new Moon made the water is particularly
:05:49. > :05:55.high, and the coasts where buffeted. 60 mph was the average.
:05:56. > :06:05.There is more tricky weather to come over the next few days. No one can
:06:06. > :06:08.relax. This is the next weather system calling in from the
:06:09. > :06:18.Atlantic. It will bring considerable snowfall. The situation is changing
:06:19. > :06:27.all the time. We are forecasting a few centimetres for the hills of the
:06:28. > :06:29.North Pennines. Anywhere over a feet could see a few centimetres of snow
:06:30. > :06:37.tomorrow. On Sunday, more wet and windy weather, with the risk of
:06:38. > :06:41.further gales. Another low pressure system is driving in, and continuing
:06:42. > :06:51.the atrocious weather we are having. Full weather forecast later. A woman
:06:52. > :06:54.who defrauded customers in an i`Pad scam worth almost ?50,000 has been
:06:55. > :06:56.jailed for two years. 37`year`old Kirsty Cox, from Newton
:06:57. > :07:01.Aycliffe in County Durham, told people she could supply cut price
:07:02. > :07:04.i`Pads in the run up to Christmas. The police say 300 people lost money
:07:05. > :07:08.in the scam, including Cox's own friends and family members. Stuart
:07:09. > :07:15.Whincup reports. This is Kirsty Cox ` seen here on
:07:16. > :07:20.the left. It was said in court, today, she used her niceness to
:07:21. > :07:22.deceive people. She claimed to have a business contact who could supply
:07:23. > :07:25.cheap i`Pads.Her colleagues, friends, even her own family members
:07:26. > :07:32.all believed her.They started telling their friends and soon
:07:33. > :07:35.thousands of orders were coming in. Karen is Kirsty's former
:07:36. > :07:38.sister`in`law. She and her husband thought the business was legitimate
:07:39. > :07:47.and their friends and family placed orders. To think that someone you
:07:48. > :07:57.regarded as family has done this to you, you lie awake at night, and you
:07:58. > :08:02.question yourself. You ask the questions that, I suppose, everyone
:08:03. > :08:10.else has been asking. I still can't get over what happened. I think a
:08:11. > :08:13.lot of people have concluded that Christie did it out of spite and
:08:14. > :08:17.greed. I would still like to believe that that wasn't the case. Cox was
:08:18. > :08:20.arrested in December 2012 after angry customers gathered outside her
:08:21. > :08:24.home, demanding to know what had happened to their orders. She was
:08:25. > :08:29.kept in custody for her own safety. There was, of course, no special
:08:30. > :08:33.supplier. She was actually buying the i`Pads full price from the high
:08:34. > :08:39.street. She had 4000 orders. Every time she sold one, she was losing
:08:40. > :08:48.money. Despite all this, Kirsty Cox kept taking orders. Her own lawyers
:08:49. > :08:51.said she got herself into a ludicrous position, that was frankly
:08:52. > :08:54.bizarre. She made no personal profit, but the police believe her
:08:55. > :08:57.customers lost more than ?1 million. Detectives believed Kirsty Cox
:08:58. > :09:00.simply enjoyed being seen as a great businesswoman who could strike good
:09:01. > :09:04.deals. Sentencing her to two years in prison, the judge said she had
:09:05. > :09:06.caused misery to many, including young children who were expecting
:09:07. > :09:09.Christmas presents that never arrived.
:09:10. > :09:12.Police investigating the death of a former boxer, at a house party on
:09:13. > :09:15.New Year's Eve, have released a teenager they'd been questioning.
:09:16. > :09:18.31`year`old Mark Denton was killed with an ice axe in Hartlepool.
:09:19. > :09:23.Cleveland Police say a 17`year`old arrested on suspicion of murder has
:09:24. > :09:26.been freed without charge. Detectives have been given more time
:09:27. > :09:30.to question two 23`year`olds, who remain in custody.
:09:31. > :09:33.Officials have moved to allay fears over the long`term future of
:09:34. > :09:38.Tyneside's only indoor ice arena ` after the site was put on a list of
:09:39. > :09:42.places which might be developed for housing. More than five thousand
:09:43. > :09:45.people have signed a petition in support of Whitley Bay Ice Rink.
:09:46. > :09:48.Protesters met the Deputy Mayor of North Tyneside Council this
:09:49. > :09:51.afternoon to express their concerns. He told the delegation that the
:09:52. > :09:59.council has no intention of demolishing the 58`year`old rink.
:10:00. > :10:02.For thirty years they've been kept secret. But, today, archive
:10:03. > :10:05.documents published for the first time reveal Margaret Thatcher's role
:10:06. > :10:08.in two of the most important industrial events in the region's
:10:09. > :10:11.history. The papers, from 1984, reveal that the former Prime
:10:12. > :10:14.Minister stepped in to save the Nissan deal that brought thousands
:10:15. > :10:17.of jobs to Wearside ` but also secretly discussed a hit list of pit
:10:18. > :10:24.closures during the miners' strike. Here's our Political Correspondent
:10:25. > :10:27.Mark Denten. Two events from the region's history
:10:28. > :10:31.` the images familiar, but, today, new facts revealed about both. In
:10:32. > :10:34.the miners' strike, the National Union Of Mineworkers claimed there
:10:35. > :10:38.was a hit list of over seventy pits to shut ` the Government said just
:10:39. > :10:41.20 would close. But today's archive papers reveal a secret meeting,
:10:42. > :10:44.including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, discussed a closure list
:10:45. > :10:50.of 75 pits from Coalboard chairman Ian Macgregor, including almost half
:10:51. > :10:53.of those in the North East. The documents say there should be no
:10:54. > :10:58.closure list, but a pit by pit procedure. It goes on, it was agreed
:10:59. > :11:06.that no record of this meeting should be circulated. We got a
:11:07. > :11:14.letter obviously written by Thatcher. I think people should
:11:15. > :11:20.consider the facts, to see who was telling lies and who was telling the
:11:21. > :11:24.truth. The government was always going to have an assessment of all
:11:25. > :11:32.the minds in the country, and which will once would close. The strike
:11:33. > :11:35.called by author... But today's papers also reveal Margaret Thatcher
:11:36. > :11:38.personally intervened to stop a threat to Nissan arriving on
:11:39. > :11:41.Wearside. Changes to Corporation Tax brought in by her Chancellor Nigel
:11:42. > :11:44.Lawson would have cost the firm ?18 million .The papers show then Trade
:11:45. > :11:50.and Industry Secretary Norman Tebbit wrote that Nissan might see this as
:11:51. > :11:57.a breach of faith. Margaret Thatcher wrote in the margin, the position
:11:58. > :12:00.looks extremely serious. In the end, Nissan was given a deal modelled on
:12:01. > :12:03.Regional Development Grants .The jobs came ` of course, and stayed.
:12:04. > :12:14.But, again, views on Thatcher's role are split. I think she had given a
:12:15. > :12:19.personal assurance to Nissan. Once she done that, she was loath to go
:12:20. > :12:29.back on it. I think she faced down Nigel Lawson. Tax gifts were given.
:12:30. > :12:38.We should still have many pits in Durham. It was supporting Japanese
:12:39. > :12:42.Events from the past that have both shaped the region. Industry and not
:12:43. > :12:47.British. Both put into a new light today. Mark Denten BBC Look North.
:12:48. > :12:51.You're watching Look North. Still to come ` Jeff's here with
:12:52. > :12:54.Friday's sport. Also, 9=in tune with charity. An unusual way of give
:12:55. > :13:02.something back to your local community. For decades, schools have
:13:03. > :13:07.had a formula ` classrooms, subjects, exams. But a new school in
:13:08. > :13:10.Newcastle wants to break the mould. And for inspiration, staff are
:13:11. > :13:15.looking west, way out west, to California. Its backers believe US
:13:16. > :13:20.methods can make our children more employable and better prepared for
:13:21. > :13:23.life. For our first Look North report of 2014, our Political Editor
:13:24. > :13:37.Richard Moss has been finding out why.
:13:38. > :13:41.Welcome to school, California`style. This is High Tech High in San Diego.
:13:42. > :13:46.They've banished many individual subject lessons. Instead students
:13:47. > :13:56.work on projects, often set by real businesses. It's hands on, and has
:13:57. > :14:01.expanded rapidly. Since opening in 1998, it's inspired 11 similar
:14:02. > :14:04.schools in San Diego. And now the North East could get its own
:14:05. > :14:09.version. This teacher up the move to bring West Coast USA to the West of
:14:10. > :14:17.Newcastle. Inspired by her visit to High Tech High. The work is so
:14:18. > :14:22.real, so the students get so absorbed in it that they forget
:14:23. > :14:25.about the time of day. They are so excited about the learning. That's
:14:26. > :14:28.took my breath away. And Studio West ` as Newcastle's school will be
:14:29. > :14:32.called ` will be different. It'll have just 300 students aged 13 to
:14:33. > :14:35.19. Students will work nine to five for 48 weeks`a`year. Sixth formers
:14:36. > :14:44.will get paid work placements for two days a week. And local
:14:45. > :14:49.businesses will set students tasks. They will have live projects. They
:14:50. > :14:53.will be asked to produce them within a week. As will be so invaluable to
:14:54. > :14:57.giving them that step two the future. And some companies have
:14:58. > :15:00.already signed up. OGN makes platforms for the oil and gas
:15:01. > :15:03.industry in Wallsend. It'll offer work placements and influence what's
:15:04. > :15:10.taught in the classroom. The firm likes the idea...and the recruits it
:15:11. > :15:13.might produce. The classically educated individuals to join our
:15:14. > :15:19.company, are very capable individuals. But there is always
:15:20. > :15:24.that initial gestation period, which can take up to two years, to take
:15:25. > :15:29.them from the academic skill set into an applied vocational school
:15:30. > :15:38.said. This programme will get these people into the workplace to make a
:15:39. > :15:40.contribution straightaway. We're looking for problem`solving skills.
:15:41. > :15:44.These skills will be very marketable. Around 100 students are
:15:45. > :15:51.already signed up for Studio West. Including these. But why do they
:15:52. > :15:55.like the idea? Wants to be a restaurant manager or have my own
:15:56. > :16:03.business. If I could go to Studio West, and studied business, I think
:16:04. > :16:10.that would be a great opportunity `` and studied business. But teaching
:16:11. > :16:13.unions think the last thing our education system needs ` at a time
:16:14. > :16:20.of stretched resources ` is an experiment. Why are the government
:16:21. > :16:24.is looking to experiment with education, and we have a tried and
:16:25. > :16:30.tested system which is renowned throughout the world. Lots of other
:16:31. > :16:33.countries look to our assistant to see how they can make their own
:16:34. > :16:36.improvements. When Studio West opens here this September, it'll replace a
:16:37. > :16:38.school being closed for its disappointing results. Could San
:16:39. > :16:42.Diego`style schooling make a difference? Or is it just California
:16:43. > :16:51.dreaming? It'll be a few years before we'll have the answer.
:16:52. > :16:54.Now, we've heard of lots of unusual ways of raising funds for good
:16:55. > :16:58.causes, but never piano tuning before. One piano tuner from
:16:59. > :17:01.Northallerton in North Yorkshire has looked after pianos belonging to Sir
:17:02. > :17:07.Elton John, The Sage in Newcastle, and even Roy Chubby Brown. And
:17:08. > :17:11.Michelle Rudd is now offering her services for the first week of 2014
:17:12. > :17:14.to raise money for the Friarage Hospital MRI Scanner Appeal. After
:17:15. > :17:17.30 years in the tuning business, Michelle said she wanted to give
:17:18. > :17:27.something back to the community. Phil Chapman has been to meet her.
:17:28. > :17:31.While most people make New Year promises to eat and drink less,
:17:32. > :17:44.Michelle Rudd has offered her skills for a good local cause. I saw the ad
:17:45. > :17:48.in the paper. About the Friarage scanner appeal, and it seemed like a
:17:49. > :17:54.good thing to support. I thought I would offer a week in January, where
:17:55. > :18:00.all the proceeds for my piano tuning would go to the scanner appeal.
:18:01. > :18:07.That's what the offer is. It's next week ` Monday to Saturday. Friarage
:18:08. > :18:12.Hospital is less than a quarter of the way to its targets to get an MRI
:18:13. > :18:20.scanner. At present, its patients have to get to Middlesbrough. It's a
:18:21. > :18:24.highly worthwhile cause. An MRI scanner for this area will be great
:18:25. > :18:31.for our local residents. We like to encourage all piano owners in the
:18:32. > :18:43.area to get in touch. Michelle has tuned cutlass pianos in your career.
:18:44. > :18:51.`` cutlass pianos in her career. I've tuned for a few celebrities.
:18:52. > :19:01.Roy Chubby Brown, Elton John, he was on tour performing in Darlington
:19:02. > :19:06.about five years ago. Sir Elton John is back in the east in the summer if
:19:07. > :19:15.you need Michelle's services again. For now, she is relying on local
:19:16. > :19:21.trade. Imagine the pressure of tuning out
:19:22. > :19:25.and John's piano! `` Elton John's piano.
:19:26. > :19:28.We'll start with cricket, and ` in the Heat of Sydney ` Durham
:19:29. > :19:31.all`rounder Ben Stokes was, once again, England's only real ray of
:19:32. > :19:34.sunshine. The fifth and final game of a horribly one`sided Ashes series
:19:35. > :19:37.began with Yorkshire batsman Gary Ballance and Durham spinner Scott
:19:38. > :19:41.Borthwick among three players given their Test match debut. But Stokes
:19:42. > :19:45.stole the show, taking SIX Australian wickets for 99 runs `
:19:46. > :19:50.three of those captured in the same over, as the home side recovered
:19:51. > :19:54.from a bad start to make 326. Following on from his hundred in
:19:55. > :19:58.Perth, Stokes ` who was raised in Cumbria, of course ` is odds`on to
:19:59. > :20:01.be England's Man of the Tour. And while he took some stick from the
:20:02. > :20:05.Aussie batsmen, Borthwick ` who's from Sunderland ` DID take his first
:20:06. > :20:11.Test wicket, with the help of a catch from Yorkshire's Joe Root.
:20:12. > :20:14.Onto football, and there's a big weekend of FA Cup action coming up.
:20:15. > :20:18.While many Premier League managers may see it as a little more than a
:20:19. > :20:21.hindrance these days, there's still a touch of magic and romance
:20:22. > :20:25.attached to the competition. No more so than for Carlisle United manager
:20:26. > :20:28.Graham Kavanagh. On Sunday he takes his League One side to face his
:20:29. > :20:31.former club, Sunderland whose victory in the 1973 final was one of
:20:32. > :20:36.the most momentous moments in their history.
:20:37. > :20:39.Sunday will see the biggest exodus of Carlisle fans from Cumbria since
:20:40. > :20:40.the Blues successful Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final at Wembley in
:20:41. > :20:47.2011. Five and a half thousand fans are already warning of long delays
:20:48. > :20:51.on major routes. Whether the get any closer to another trip to Wembley at
:20:52. > :20:55.the weekend remains to be seen. And while it's an important day for the
:20:56. > :20:57.fans it's possibly even bigger for Graham Kavanagh. The Carlisle boss
:20:58. > :21:01.played a part in Sunderland's Championship winning season in 2007
:21:02. > :21:13.under Roy Keane ` and a to the Stadium of Light will be the game of
:21:14. > :21:16.the season. It excites everybody. We got a number of players who are
:21:17. > :21:27.Geordies, and they are very much looking forward to the occasion.
:21:28. > :21:30.Sunderland memorably won the cup in 1973 but Carlisle may take heart
:21:31. > :21:34.from the fact that they beat the holders a year later at Roker Park
:21:35. > :21:37.when the Black Cats were managed by former Blues boss Bob Stokoe. And
:21:38. > :21:41.while some Premier League managers may prefer not to have to deal with
:21:42. > :21:48.the competition the current manager who won the Cup as a Chelsea player
:21:49. > :21:56.wouldn't be without it. It's the best cup competition in the world, I
:21:57. > :21:59.love it. Before I came to England, I saw the red carpets, and the
:22:00. > :22:07.managers with the flowers in the air. I sat at home thinking how
:22:08. > :22:12.lucky I would be to be the one day. And I was that lucky. On all three
:22:13. > :22:16.occasions the teams have met in the FA Cup its gone to a replay while
:22:17. > :22:19.Carlisle might fancy taking Sunderland back to Brunton Park it
:22:20. > :22:22.would be the worst possible outcome for the Black Cats who have Premier
:22:23. > :22:26.League survival to contend with as well as a League Cup semi final
:22:27. > :22:31.against Man Utd on Tuesday. So that's on Sunday afternoon at 2PM.
:22:32. > :22:34.Before then, Newcastle will hope to make it through to the fourth round
:22:35. > :22:37.draw by repeating their recent victory over Cardiff City. The
:22:38. > :22:41.Magpies were 2`1 winners in South Wales, back in October. But
:22:42. > :22:43.tomorrow's visitors to St James's Park are now under new management,
:22:44. > :22:46.with former Manchester United favourite Ole Gunar Solksjaer having
:22:47. > :22:55.taken over this week from Malky Mackay. We are all going to get a
:22:56. > :22:58.new lease of life. Of course ` that's what goes right across the
:22:59. > :23:02.board. And everybody will get a little lift from that, and we'll be
:23:03. > :23:06.on our guard for it, but there's nothing we can do about it, we can
:23:07. > :23:12.only put our best performance out. We're still the favourites to win.
:23:13. > :23:17.We are at home, and I expect us... I release hope we can win. With
:23:18. > :23:19.regular goalkeeper Jason Steele injured and on`loan Shay Given
:23:20. > :23:23.ineligible, Middlesbrough will give a debut ` at the Riverside tomorrow
:23:24. > :23:26.` to the former Hartlepool United keeper, Dimi Konstantopoulos. And
:23:27. > :23:30.the big Greek will need to be on top form to keep out Steve Bruce's Hull
:23:31. > :23:33.City side, who smashed SIX past Fulham in the Premier League last
:23:34. > :23:37.weekend. For me, it's important to win tomorrow because it's the FA
:23:38. > :23:46.Cup. I think the crowd here want Boro in the next run`on. We are
:23:47. > :23:54.working in the same way that we prepare for the championship games.
:23:55. > :23:57.On to rugby union, and Newcastle Falcons' new Samoan signing, Sinoti
:23:58. > :24:05.Sinoti, will make his debut against Sale Sharks at Kingston Park
:24:06. > :24:07.tonight. The Falcons are tenth in the Premiership after claiming a
:24:08. > :24:11.losing bonus point against Wasps last week. So at the half way stage
:24:12. > :24:14.of the campaign is boss Dean Richards happy with his sides
:24:15. > :24:17.progress, in their first season back in the top flight?
:24:18. > :24:21.I think happy would be the wrong expression. We've missed points on
:24:22. > :24:25.the way ` I think the boys would be the first to admit that. And when
:24:26. > :24:33.you miss points, there is an element of frustration. This is As the
:24:34. > :24:39.teacher would say, you could do better. And we probably should be
:24:40. > :24:43.doing better. Thanks Hannah. Before we go tonight, a reminder of
:24:44. > :24:46.tonight's main news: The entire West Coast of Britain, from Cornwall to
:24:47. > :24:54.Scotland, has been battered by another storm.
:24:55. > :25:05.The highest gust recorded is, today, was on the highest peak of the
:25:06. > :25:09.Pennines. Not far behind across the north`east and North Yorkshire. A
:25:10. > :25:17.dairy windy day, and more wild, wintry weather to come up at the
:25:18. > :25:22.weekends. Snow and slush for a time tomorrow. Tonight, showery and
:25:23. > :25:29.breezy. Still a weather warning in place to midnight, for strong gusty
:25:30. > :25:38.winds. As we had through to the early hours, sky is clear and winds
:25:39. > :25:43.should fall lighter. First thing tomorrow, another weather warning.
:25:44. > :25:52.11 o'clock sees a weather warning come into play for snow. Through
:25:53. > :25:59.tomorrow morning, dry, sunny at first. But it's swiftly, through the
:26:00. > :26:03.morning, turning wet through the south, and that rain will fall as
:26:04. > :26:09.snow across the fells of Cumbria, the hills of the North Pennines and
:26:10. > :26:13.across the Cheviots. Tomorrow afternoon, it's dry and come for
:26:14. > :26:21.much of North Yorkshire, snowy across the North Pennines. Possibly
:26:22. > :26:28.a few centimetres of snow to the hills, and anywhere above around 150
:26:29. > :26:39.metres. Slushy deposits likely at lower levels. Top temperature
:26:40. > :26:46.tomorrow, around five or six degrees Celsius. Slightly colder. But
:26:47. > :26:51.lighter winds despite that snowfall. Saturday, low pressure is still
:26:52. > :26:56.dominating the forecast. It's dry for a time early on Sunday, but once
:26:57. > :27:04.again it doesn't last. It gives way to strong winds and heavy rainfall.
:27:05. > :27:07.A continuation of this fairy unsettled winter weather. Let's look
:27:08. > :27:10.at the detail for the next couple of days. Wet on Sunday and unsettled on
:27:11. > :27:27.Monday. There is the forecast. A reminder of tonight's menus. Here
:27:28. > :27:31.in the north, Cumbria has borne the brunt. The county has been lashed by
:27:32. > :27:34.strong winds, high tides and torrential rain. That's all for now.
:27:35. > :27:39.Goodbye.
