:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from us. It's goodbye from me. And on BBC One

:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight: Two people are

:00:09. > :00:11.found dead on board a boat. The latest live from the scene

:00:12. > :00:14.coming up. On trial: the nursery assistant

:00:15. > :00:19.accused of the manslaughter of this three`year`old girl.

:00:20. > :00:22.A second block of flats hit by a freak storm is demolished as the

:00:23. > :00:26.bill for the damage rockets to ?7.5 million.

:00:27. > :00:28.A warning that the wettest part of our region could face a water

:00:29. > :00:32.shortage. And how soldiers from the North

:00:33. > :00:33.played a part in a brutal battle fought deep underground. We begin

:00:34. > :00:45.our commemoration of the Great War. In sport, a new manager for Berwick,

:00:46. > :00:49.still playing at 41, and a potential banana skin for Sunderland.

:00:50. > :00:51.And school's out for Katy as she prepares for a rugby world cup and a

:00:52. > :01:08.trip to the Palace! First tonight, what caused the

:01:09. > :01:12.deaths of two people whose bodies were found on board a boat in Whitby

:01:13. > :01:16.Harbour? Police were called to the vessel, moored off Pier Road, at

:01:17. > :01:19.around ten o'clock this morning. The deaths are being described as

:01:20. > :01:23.unexplained, but not suspicious. Let's cross live to Phil Connell

:01:24. > :01:31.who's in Whitby for us. Phil, what's the latest?

:01:32. > :01:35.The alarm was raised this morning by fishermen on board a neighbouring

:01:36. > :01:39.boat and since then Whitby harbour has been the

:01:40. > :01:43.investigation. The two men on board the boat are not thought to be

:01:44. > :01:46.local, in fact we believe their vessel was registered in Milford

:01:47. > :01:50.Haven and it was one of the three boats that had been in the Whitby

:01:51. > :01:54.area for a couple of weeks looking for solipsist. Amongst the first on

:01:55. > :02:00.the scene were crew from the lifeboat station and his fishermen

:02:01. > :02:08.were brought here to the station, but attempts to revive them were

:02:09. > :02:12.unsuccessful. We were shocked. People don't like to think about

:02:13. > :02:18.it. Fishing is a dangerous business as it is. Especially when things

:02:19. > :02:23.like this happen, everyone is thinking and praying for their

:02:24. > :02:34.families. It is really quite sad. Do we know what caused these deaths?

:02:35. > :02:36.North Yorkshire Police say there are no spacious circumstances. One

:02:37. > :02:43.possible theory is that the men may have lit a gas fire on the boat and

:02:44. > :02:47.may possibly have been overcome by carbon monoxide. Police have not

:02:48. > :02:52.confirmed that, but told us that it is one line of inquiry that they are

:02:53. > :02:56.looking into. On the harbour, traders were telling me there had

:02:57. > :03:03.been a strong smell of gas. Nathan Brown from the Coastguard station.

:03:04. > :03:10.There were a lot of agencies involved. We have to look at the

:03:11. > :03:21.safety element and the safety for our crew and ourselves and the best

:03:22. > :03:26.way... As you would expect, eight sombre mood here in Whitby tonight.

:03:27. > :03:30.These fishermen, of course, risk their lives day in and day out going

:03:31. > :03:31.out to sea and for this to happen in the relative safety of the harbour

:03:32. > :03:41.has come as a real shock. A court has been told a 24`year`old

:03:42. > :03:44.children's nursery assistant took no action to stop a three`year`girl

:03:45. > :03:50.playing alone and unsupervised on a slide. Sophee Redhead has gone on

:03:51. > :03:54.trial accused of the manslaughter of the little girl Lydia Bishop by her

:03:55. > :03:59.gross negligence at the York College nursery 18 months ago. Ms Redhead

:04:00. > :04:09.denies the charge and the College itself denies breaches of health and

:04:10. > :04:15.safety duties. John Cundy reports. Lydia Bishop, the child who died so

:04:16. > :04:21.tragically at York College Nursery on the 17th of September 2012.

:04:22. > :04:30.Arriving at Leeds Crown Court were a family, and Sophee Redhead. The

:04:31. > :04:36.court was told that Miss redhead had so on a picnic bench outside a

:04:37. > :04:41.nursery as Lydia went past what was described as a makeshift and futile

:04:42. > :04:45.barrier. Ms redhead was said to have done nothing to stop or supervise

:04:46. > :04:51.Lydia. The child was left entirely on her own. The prosecution went on

:04:52. > :04:55.20 minutes had gone by and only when a member of staff discovered she was

:04:56. > :04:59.not in the building or directly outside did anyone appreciate she

:05:00. > :05:04.may have come to some harm. Sophee Redhead ran in panic and found Lydia

:05:05. > :05:08.in the slide with a rope coiled around her neck. She wasn't

:05:09. > :05:16.breathing. All attempts to resuscitate her failed and she was

:05:17. > :05:19.pronounced dead at three at 3:27pm. The jury were told that there had

:05:20. > :05:25.been a dangerous lack of supervision on the slide for weeks. Brooks left

:05:26. > :05:31.in coils on the slide were loose and soft. `` ropes. They should have

:05:32. > :05:35.been removed when children were playing unsupervised. A child could

:05:36. > :05:40.become entangled in the ribs with fatal consequences, and that is what

:05:41. > :05:46.happened `` that is what happened. 17 children and three staff had been

:05:47. > :05:51.at the nursery that they. CCTV shown to the court revealed that she and

:05:52. > :05:55.other children had also been shown playing unsupervised on the slide

:05:56. > :06:00.earlier before the tragedy. The trial is expected to last three

:06:01. > :06:03.weeks. Senior councillors met this

:06:04. > :06:05.afternoon in Sunderland to thrash out proposals which could see

:06:06. > :06:08.changes to waste collection services, increased parking charges

:06:09. > :06:11.and cuts to children's services. The city council needs to cut ?70

:06:12. > :06:15.million from its budget over the next couple of years. And as with

:06:16. > :06:19.many of our councils a war of words has broken out over who's to blame.

:06:20. > :06:23.Labour say Sunderland's raw deal from central Government,

:06:24. > :06:27.but local Conservatives say the council has to live within its

:06:28. > :06:31.means. Well, our Political Correspondent Mark Denten joins us

:06:32. > :06:36.now. Mark another one of our councils and another list of cuts.

:06:37. > :06:40.Quite. Well, nothing is done and dusted in

:06:41. > :06:43.terms of the detail of the cuts, but the overall context that figure you

:06:44. > :06:49.mentioned is ?75 million over two years. One way or another they have

:06:50. > :06:52.to save that. Yesterday, we reporting about Northumberland

:06:53. > :07:02.Council intentionally selling off their headquarters. Not of course an

:07:03. > :07:06.option for a compact, urban council like Sunderland. So they are looking

:07:07. > :07:08.at cutting their fleet of bin wagons and slicing ?400,000 from the

:07:09. > :07:13.children's centre budget. The leader of the council told us that cuts to

:07:14. > :07:17.services are inevitable. We will hit services. We will try and mitigate

:07:18. > :07:22.the effects, but it is not impossible not to. At the end of the

:07:23. > :07:25.day, people understand that. We will try to do our best not to be in the

:07:26. > :07:30.places where the most vulnerable people, young people, we will always

:07:31. > :07:36.protect both areas, but there will be services affected. But, Mark,

:07:37. > :07:39.Conservatives in Sunderland say there could actually be advantages

:07:40. > :07:40.for council tax payers in the current situation.

:07:41. > :07:44.The message from the Conservatives is two`fold. First, Sunderland needs

:07:45. > :07:47.to live within it means and they say council tax payers can get better

:07:48. > :07:49.services even with squeezed budgets. Secondly, talking to the

:07:50. > :07:55.Conservative leader, said they could be advantageous. I think all

:07:56. > :07:59.reductions in budget will have an impact, but it depends how it's

:08:00. > :08:02.done. What has happened in Sunderland is an example where

:08:03. > :08:06.budgets have been reduced, the workforce has been nearly halved,

:08:07. > :08:08.but residents are saying that they are feeling that services have got

:08:09. > :08:14.better and that is the direction things have to go in. We need more

:08:15. > :08:22.privatisation of services, we need more efficient services. So all the

:08:23. > :08:24.changes are out to consulation at the moment, Mark?

:08:25. > :08:28.Yes, no final decisions until March, but one thing the council will have

:08:29. > :08:31.to decide before then is do they put the council tax up? I'm told they

:08:32. > :08:42.won't decide before February 12th. In Sunderland, it's only around 12%

:08:43. > :08:45.of the council's revenue. A North East MP has asked the Prime

:08:46. > :08:48.Minister to help secure the release of six former British soldiers

:08:49. > :08:53.who've been arrested in India. Nick Dunn from Ashington is one of the

:08:54. > :08:55.group which has been held held in a jail in Chennai for more than two

:08:56. > :08:59.months. The ex`servicemen were working on a commercial vessel to

:09:00. > :09:03.protect shipping from pirates when they were arrested and accused of

:09:04. > :09:10.illegally possessing weapons. As we sit here, there are six

:09:11. > :09:16.British National 's languishing in a prison in Chennai that have been

:09:17. > :09:21.taken prisoner from a ship. Will the Prime Minister agreed to meet with

:09:22. > :09:24.me and other representatives of this house to discuss this issue, to see

:09:25. > :09:25.if we can get these former paratrooper is a release from

:09:26. > :09:35.prison? I know I raised it personally with Indian

:09:36. > :09:38.Government ministers. I have discussed it with the Foreign

:09:39. > :09:44.Secretary, I will go on to make sure that we can do everything that we

:09:45. > :09:50.can. If a meeting needs to be raised... I believe the Foreign

:09:51. > :09:58.Secretary represent one of these constituencies himself, I'm happy to

:09:59. > :10:00.arrange that. It's a housing estate which became

:10:01. > :10:04.infamous after storms and a collapsed culvert left scenes like

:10:05. > :10:07.these. And today a second block of flats here at Newburn in Newcastle

:10:08. > :10:11.was demolished, a year and a half after it was hit by Thunder

:10:12. > :10:15.Thursday. The estate is now at the centre of a dispute over who was to

:10:16. > :10:17.blame for what happened. Neither the developer, Dunelm Homes, nor the

:10:18. > :10:20.landowner, Northumberland Estates, will accept responsibility. Look

:10:21. > :10:23.North has learned the final bill is likely to exceed ?7.5 million

:10:24. > :10:28.pounds. Our Chief Reporter Chris Stewart has the story.

:10:29. > :10:34.730 and the demolition men move in, the second of five blocks judged to

:10:35. > :10:40.be beyond saving. By nine, the work was under way. The people who lived

:10:41. > :10:46.here moved out 18 months ago after Thunder Thursday, a gay freak storms

:10:47. > :10:58.lashed Tyneside. While this block `` the day.

:10:59. > :10:59.Once this comes down, work carries on, the grouting work has been going

:11:00. > :11:07.on since November. It is proving be very successful. Block a is

:11:08. > :11:18.complete. Block C is under way. They will be finished by around... What

:11:19. > :11:27.he was about to say is that people can start moving back in by May.

:11:28. > :11:31.That is not the end of the story. That will happen in a courtroom,

:11:32. > :11:35.when lawyers and insurance companies argue over who picks up the bill

:11:36. > :11:43.which currently stands at ?6.5 million. That is still three or four

:11:44. > :11:50.years away, and of course the legal fees continue to grow. Instead of

:11:51. > :11:56.6.5 million, think ?7.5 million, possibly even more. Almost

:11:57. > :12:00.unnoticed, Patrick and Marion Kelly turned up. They lost their home in

:12:01. > :12:03.the first block came down and this might surprise you they then use

:12:04. > :12:14.their compensation to buy another property on the estate. They say

:12:15. > :12:18.this is a lovely place to live. Conservative MP Anne McIntosh is

:12:19. > :12:21.appealing to her own members to be allowed to stand again as a

:12:22. > :12:24.candidate in her safe North Yorkshire seat at the next general

:12:25. > :12:27.election. The chairman and executive of her party have taken the

:12:28. > :12:30.virtually unknown action of refusing to endorse the Thirsk and Malton

:12:31. > :12:32.MP's re`selection. They feel she hasn't done a good enough job

:12:33. > :12:34.representing her own constituents. It's now down to a last`ditch postal

:12:35. > :12:41.ballot. among the most gay`friendly in

:12:42. > :12:44.Britain, according to a survey by the lesbian, gay and bisexual

:12:45. > :12:48.charity Stonewall. Property company Gentoo topped the

:12:49. > :12:59.survey in this region. And the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service was

:13:00. > :13:03.also among the top ten. We have worked very hard on the

:13:04. > :13:08.years to ensure we are an employer where everyone can come to work and

:13:09. > :13:11.be themselves, be comfortable being the person they are and enjoy the

:13:12. > :13:15.work and experience. It's one of the wettest parts of the

:13:16. > :13:20.country. But today there's a warning that water supplies to West Cumbria

:13:21. > :13:23.could run short as soon as 2020. That's because water company United

:13:24. > :13:28.Utilities has to stop using the lake at Ennerdale for its supplies and

:13:29. > :13:31.find an alternative. That could mean building a ?300 million pipeline

:13:32. > :13:34.from Thirlmere near Keswick. In the meantime, those living in a region

:13:35. > :13:37.often battered by storms and floods may be forced to save on water to

:13:38. > :13:45.keep the taps running. Mark McAlindon reports.

:13:46. > :13:49.These were the scenes as recent storms lashed the west Cumbrian

:13:50. > :13:52.coast. Floods and high tides might have left water everywhere, but it

:13:53. > :13:58.seems there is a possibility that in years to come, there may not be a

:13:59. > :14:00.drop to drink. Why? Well, for environmental reasons, supplies

:14:01. > :14:10.cannot continue to come from Ennerdale. There are a number of

:14:11. > :14:14.precious species there that benefit from the high quality of water. What

:14:15. > :14:18.we have learnt is that we need to do more to protect them and stop

:14:19. > :14:23.abstract in water from Ennerdale. This is Ennerdale and I guess if you

:14:24. > :14:28.asked which natural resources short supply, I would hope they would say

:14:29. > :14:35.sunshine. The fact is that on a cold day in winter it is water. United

:14:36. > :14:40.Utilities is even asking people for their views on drought measures to

:14:41. > :14:46.keep the taps running. So how does that go down in the nearest village?

:14:47. > :14:50.I would have thought we have more than enough water year in West

:14:51. > :15:01.Cumbria to serve West Cumbria to Southwest Cumbria. What is precious.

:15:02. > :15:06.`` water. So, what's the solution? The solution is here. At the

:15:07. > :15:11.moment, it sends water to Manchester. What we are looking is

:15:12. > :15:14.looking to send some of that water into West Cumbria. There are those

:15:15. > :15:20.that think that current problems could lead to the most sensible and

:15:21. > :15:24.beneficial solution. As far as I am aware, apart from the usual

:15:25. > :15:29.permissions, there is nothing stopping them from doing this and

:15:30. > :15:37.from environmental perspective we think it makes a huge amount of

:15:38. > :15:41.sense. If West Cumbrian water is to supply West Cumbrian homes, it will

:15:42. > :15:46.cost around ?300 million and take until 2025 at the earliest.

:15:47. > :15:52.Well, Mark's in our Cumbria newsroom now. Mark, what kind of water saving

:15:53. > :15:55.measures are being talked about? It may be strange to talk about this

:15:56. > :16:04.when you can see the state of the whether there. Projecting forward

:16:05. > :16:08.into the summer when you may get prolonged dry periods, what's united

:16:09. > :16:11.utilities want people to do is not stew is your hosepipe, for example,

:16:12. > :16:15.cuts down the water you use when brushing your teeth. They say all of

:16:16. > :16:19.that adds up and by doing those things, you can protect the water

:16:20. > :16:28.supply until an alternative is found.

:16:29. > :16:31.This year marks the centenary of the Great War. Throughout 2014, Look

:16:32. > :16:35.North and your BBC local radio station will bring you a variety of

:16:36. > :16:38.stories to commemorate the conflict. And we begin with the first of two

:16:39. > :16:42.reports from France. The site of perhaps the most infamous battle of

:16:43. > :16:46.all, the Somme. It was there that soldiers from the North played a

:16:47. > :16:48.major part in one of the most brutal, yet little`known, aspects of

:16:49. > :16:50.the war deep underground. Gerry Jackson has tonight's Look North

:16:51. > :17:05.report. They've been called Silent Cities of

:17:06. > :17:10.the Dead. The cemeteries dotted for hundreds of miles along the Western

:17:11. > :17:16.Front. Nowhere are they more plentiful than here on the Somme.

:17:17. > :17:20.And in 1914, it was pure chance that put one tiny village at the

:17:21. > :17:29.epicentre of events that have haunted us ever since. This is La

:17:30. > :17:38.Boisselle. A lot of blood would be shed over it.

:17:39. > :17:46.And invaders were coming this way and the French forces, desperate to

:17:47. > :17:49.stop them here. This would become one of the most bitterly contested

:17:50. > :17:52.patches of the Western front. Here, the front line trenches were so

:17:53. > :17:56.close and well`fortified, that men began digging underneath their

:17:57. > :17:59.enemies. In this area alone there are five miles of tunnels ` 30, 80,

:18:00. > :18:16.100 feet deep. Their aim? To blow their adversaries

:18:17. > :18:23.to bits. Watch your head. This labyrinth lay abandoned and

:18:24. > :18:31.unexplored for almost a century. When you cut chalk, it is sharp. You

:18:32. > :18:37.can see it is black and by a candle. It brings the human touch

:18:38. > :18:41.into it and that is what it is about, it is about the men that

:18:42. > :18:43.fought here. In 2011, a team of archaeologists, military historians

:18:44. > :18:46.and respectful enthusiasts began the huge task of unblocking the tunnel

:18:47. > :18:51.system. All of them are unpaid volunteers. Two or three times a

:18:52. > :19:01.year they gather to uncover and learn a little more. It is a huge

:19:02. > :19:05.privilege to be able to work on a project like this. It is a contact

:19:06. > :19:14.with the past and with my family's past. You cannot imagine what the

:19:15. > :19:17.English here. `` they endured here. When the British took over these

:19:18. > :19:20.tunnels from the French in 1915 they began preparing for the battle that

:19:21. > :19:23.would end the stalemate of the trenches and perhaps the war itself.

:19:24. > :19:26.Hundreds of miners, many straight from coal, iron ore or mineral

:19:27. > :19:33.collieries in the North, intensified their efforts, knowing each moment

:19:34. > :19:36.could be their last. It is not the physical exhaustion, it is the

:19:37. > :19:41.mental exhaustion. Many men could only do it for a few months, knowing

:19:42. > :19:45.that every clatter or movement that could be picked up by the Germans

:19:46. > :19:54.may well be the sound that signals your death. These men are almost a

:19:55. > :19:57.different race. They lived a civilian life under incredibly harsh

:19:58. > :20:02.conditions, compared to how we live today. Many of these men here, in

:20:03. > :20:13.fact most of them, didn't even have the vote and here they were. That is

:20:14. > :20:21.to do with a sense of duty. Do your duty, . The miners were hand`picked

:20:22. > :20:24.for their experience and temperament. But the donkey work of

:20:25. > :20:29.shifting those thousands of tonnes of chalk fell to the ordinary

:20:30. > :20:30.infantryman. They were there as beasts of burden to

:20:31. > :20:42.tunnels. They did it for eight hours, the most appalling drudgery.

:20:43. > :20:45.In spring 1916, men from the 11th Battalion, the Border Regiment,

:20:46. > :20:48.raised by the Earl of Lonsdale, took their turn as those 'beasts of

:20:49. > :20:54.burden'. A few of them managed to leave a very personal mark. It is

:20:55. > :20:59.easy to persuade yourself that the spirits of those men are still here.

:21:00. > :21:05.Two massive minds were prepared either side, this is where the

:21:06. > :21:09.German front lines would be perpetrated and the enemy sent into

:21:10. > :21:16.retreat. That was the plan. After their labours underground, the

:21:17. > :21:19.border men would take their places in the trenches amongst the rest of

:21:20. > :21:21.their comrades, ready for what they called The Big Push ` what we call

:21:22. > :21:31.The Battle of the Somme. The second of Gerry's reports is

:21:32. > :21:35.tomorrow, when we'll reveal what happened to those Cumbrian soldiers

:22:37. > :22:39.sacking of Ian Little following a poor run of results in Scottish

:22:40. > :22:43.League Two. Cameron, who's now 41, left his former club Cowdenbeath by

:22:44. > :22:46.mutual consent in November but has kept up his fitness since then. His

:22:47. > :22:52.first training session is tomorrow evening.

:22:53. > :22:55.Now, it's a fortnight since the England women's rugby union captain

:22:56. > :22:59.Katy McLean was named in the Queen's New Year's Honours list. And, the

:23:00. > :23:03.news of being made an MBE is only just starting to sink in. Katy, from

:23:04. > :23:06.South Shields, who combines her playing career with teaching, faces

:23:07. > :23:12.a big sporting year ahead, hoping the World Cup final doesn't clash

:23:13. > :23:15.with that trip to the palace! Fly`half Katy, who's now 28, became

:23:16. > :23:18.the second current England player to be honoured. But the letter asking

:23:19. > :23:21.whether she wished to accept becoming a MBE for services to rugby

:23:22. > :23:24.was originally addressed to the former ground of her club side

:23:25. > :23:32.Darlington Mowden Park Sharks. Eventually, though, it caught up

:23:33. > :23:35.with her. One of the guys text me saying there is a letter for you at

:23:36. > :23:41.the club, it has her Majesty 's service on it. I looked on Google to

:23:42. > :23:53.wonder why you would get that sort of letter . Luckily, he said, look,

:23:54. > :23:58.come and pick it up. I picked it up before training and was absolutely

:23:59. > :24:03.thrilled, shocked. A friend read it and she said, I think you are being

:24:04. > :24:06.offered an MBM. I went as training and drove home and showed my mother

:24:07. > :24:10.and father and they said, yes, you are. Katy, who teaches reception`age

:24:11. > :24:13.children at Bexhill Academy in Sunderland, plans to take a short

:24:14. > :24:17.sabbatical later this year to prepare for the women's world cup

:24:18. > :24:23.final, part of a busy year for the sport. This is a massive year. We

:24:24. > :24:29.are going into a Six Nations campaign and then going to a World

:24:30. > :24:39.Cup. For us, it is massive. You dream about this sort of thing. It

:24:40. > :24:43.is such an immense tournament. Being in such a rugby crazy country like

:24:44. > :24:46.France, it would be fantastic. Katy, who would love to go one better than

:24:47. > :24:50.the 2010 World Cup final defeat against favourites New Zealand,

:24:51. > :24:58.feels the MBE is as much for women's rugby as for her. But who'll be

:24:59. > :25:04.going to the palace with her? Trying to explain to 30 children that it is

:25:05. > :25:06.just me may be difficult, but at the moment we are all going! I cannot

:25:07. > :25:22.wait to take them. It has been very mild. We expected

:25:23. > :25:29.double finger temperatures and they did in some places. Top of the table

:25:30. > :25:34.was Carlisle. Tomorrow, a different sort of day, I think there will be

:25:35. > :25:39.some bright spells around. They will be simpler story showers. It will be

:25:40. > :25:43.quite breezy, but generally stay mild. A lot of cloud around as we

:25:44. > :25:46.head into the evening. Some more persistent rain coming from the West

:25:47. > :25:51.into the evening and clearing away eastwards. That leaves behind it

:25:52. > :25:56.clear spells and the odd shower. There could be some mist patches.

:25:57. > :26:02.Temperatures in town and cities down to four or five Celsius. Some

:26:03. > :26:09.shelter from the light breezes, we could see some growled frosts. ``

:26:10. > :26:13.ground frost. Tomorrow is a day of brighter spells and scattered

:26:14. > :26:17.showers. Some showers could be heavy. Maybe even some hail and fund

:26:18. > :26:31.a mixed in. Many places should miss the showers. `` hail and under.

:26:32. > :26:35.Eight Celsius, although the South easterly breeze will be brisk. As

:26:36. > :26:39.they go through the next few days, the low pressure keeps charge of the

:26:40. > :26:42.weather. It keeps the wind coming from a southerly direction, things

:26:43. > :26:43.should not cool down too should not cool down too quickly and

:26:44. > :26:51.the weather front will come northwards. Nothing too dramatic in

:26:52. > :26:54.the next few days as far as north`east and Cumbria are

:26:55. > :27:00.concerned. Some rain around on Friday. More widespread rain spreads

:27:01. > :27:07.out from the South through the course of Sunday, Saturday rather.

:27:08. > :27:11.Generally, we keep the southerly breezes. A similar picture is of the

:27:12. > :27:17.Pennines. One or two showers are likely on Friday, but some blue sky

:27:18. > :27:21.in between. The band of rain on the warm front coming from the South and

:27:22. > :27:24.then most places dry for the second half of the weekend. Daytime

:27:25. > :27:31.temperatures of seven or eight Celsius. That is the way your

:27:32. > :27:34.weather is looking. That is it for tonight. We will be

:27:35. > :28:16.back at 20:25pm. `` 10:25pm. Hidden beneath your feet

:28:17. > :28:29.are magical worlds, see the incredible adventures
