rain from the east. That's all from the BBC News At | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello. Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Growing anger over the decision to close a city centre fire station. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The authority's urged to think again about how to save more than ?8 | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
million. Road to repair ` in the midst of | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
massive cuts, Middlesbrough's mayor announces he's spending millions on | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
potholes. Virtual credits ` Cumbria's | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
university becomes the first to accept Bitcoins as payment for | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
courses. And Le Tour lockdown. Details | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
revealed of traffic no`go zones when the world's biggest cycling event | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
comes to Yorkshire. In sport, we're live in Spennymoor | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
with the region's latest boxing champion as he tries to inspire the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
next generation. And can Sunderland prove the bookies | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
wrong to win a chance of getting their hands on the League Cup? We | :00:50. | :01:08. | |
look ahead to tomorrow's big game. Think again and do not put lives at | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
risk. That was the message from residents, traders and politicians | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
today about the decision to close a Sunderland city centre fire station. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
It is part of a package of cuts approved by the fire authority | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
yesterday but there is growing anger about plans which will see two other | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
stations shut and one in five firefighters lose their jobs. | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
Sunderland's current city centre fire station, open to protect the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
public since 1993. But now Tyne Wear Fire Brigade believes it could | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
be shut without compromising safety. The firefighters who work here | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
disagree. This is the busiest station in the whole Wearside area. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
We cannot believe that they are considering closing the fire | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
station. We need to stop this. So soon the new fire station will | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
become like this one, a museum piece, but the people who live in | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
the city centre are not worried. The residents are very concerned, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
anxious, angry. Less than 20 years ago they close the fire station | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
behind me and opened the new one because of the demand needed in the | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
city centre. Now they are saying they can cope with this demand with | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
the three outlying fire stations. But does not make sense. Traders are | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
also concerned. Businesses had objected to the proposed closure, so | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the decision to press ahead has left a sour taste. We are going to lose | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
fire station and the police station might close as well. What is next? | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
There are no essential services in the middle of our city. There is | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
anger and fear, but also questions about the public consultation that | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
led to the decision. The population is 1.1 million. Very few of them | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
were consulted. It is not because people are not interested, it is | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
because people did not know it was going on. Until 1974 Sunderland had | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
its own fire service, and 49 firefighters were based in his old | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Fire station at one stage. So people in the city might be a bit wistful | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
about the days when they could make their own decisions about their Fire | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Brigade. Today the brigade is facing the reality of having to save ?8.8 | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
million in three years. It says difficult decisions are necessary | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
but has it made the right ones? Richard is here now. Quite a | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
reaction to these cuts. Is someone prepared to defend them? Of course. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Two other fire stations, Wallsend and Gosforth, will close. But the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
crucial question is will this lead to fire engines getting slower | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
response times to incidents where lives are at stake? The council made | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the decision yesterday where the cuts will fall. They say the answer | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
to that question is no. What we are able to do by making | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
sure that we can continue to support services from nearby stations is a | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
guarantee that fires which affect a property or life will still be | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
responded to as quickly in Sunderland as they will be in other | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
areas of Tyne Wear. So the location of the station is | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
secondary, really, to making sure we continue to have good response | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
times, and Tyne Wear will still be the fastest in the country for | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
responses to fires. I do not expect those reassurances will lessen the | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
pressure from places like Sunderland. But the Tyne Wear Fire | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
themselves are lobbying the Government. They want a better | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
settlement. We need to fight back and not be | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
paralysed by the cuts, that is the view of Middlesbrough's Mayor after | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
the council said it needs to cut ?15 million to its budget. 300 jobs will | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
be lost and 300 transferred to other organisations. But the council is | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
also looking to invest millions in the roads. After the mayor spent a | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
weekend driving 250 miles around the time to check what state they were | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
in, that is. We already knew what services were | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
going to be cut. It was announced at the end of last year. It has now | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
been recommended for approval. Things like athletics stadium, two | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
training and learning centres. Like many councils they will also be | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
cutting recycling, littered picking, grass cutting. But the mayor wants | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
to invest in the long`term future of Middlesbrough and he wants to spend | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
?50 million fixing the roads. Business here is booming. At this | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
Middlesbrough garage, they see a four cars a damaged by potholes. The | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
cost of the repairs are not cheap. It could be ?200 or ?300 for a wheel | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
bearing. If you damage and alloy wheel it could be another couple of | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
hundred pounds per tyre. It damages the suspension. Across the country, | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the road network has suffered serious damage in recent years with | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
heavy rains, storms and flooding, but with cats is reducing their | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
budgets, there is less money to fix the potholes. `` councils reducing | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
their budgets. There has been a 30% increase in call`outs to cars | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
damaged by Port Road services. No Middlesbrough's Mayor is wanting to | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
spend ?15 million over three years in improving the roads. We have to | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
actually have a really decent work programme over a period of three | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
years to deal with the problem. At the present, we need to concentrate | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
on 300 roads. There are other roads as well you could add to that. ?50 | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
million will go towards resurfacing 750 roads in the town. The idea is | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
that by spending the money now and improving the roads, the council | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
will save money in the future having to repair them. | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
After his 250 Mile Drive, the mayor said he needed urgent action was | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
needed for the town's roads. The money will be spread over three | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
years to tackle the problem. Police have not yet named a man who | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
died in a car crash on a busy Cumbrian broke this morning. His car | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
collided with a dairy tanker a few miles from Carlisle on the main A595 | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
which links North and West Cumbria. The road was closed for several | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
hours with lengthy diversions. Police say they need to speak to any | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
possible witnesses. A Sunderland `based firm has admitted blame | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
following the death of a teenage apprentice. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
Jason Burden, 19, was crushed by a heavy machine in 2011. Tyne Slipway | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
and Engineering pleaded guilty to a breach of health and safety at | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Newcastle Crown Court. He firm was fined ?75,000 and costs. | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
The University of Cumbria has become the first public University in the | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
world to accept a virtual currency to pay fees. Students will be | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
allowed to use Bitcoin to pay for two finance`based courses. The | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
digital money cuts banks out of the payment process, as Alison Freeman | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
reports. You cannot hold it in your hand and | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
it is not considered legal tender, but the virtual currency Bitcoin can | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
be used to pay for a wide range of things, and that now includes | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
education. As of next year, the University of Cumbria will accept | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
the online payments for two financial courses where the role of | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
new kind of money are being studied. They are the first public university | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
in the world to accept this payment. Bitcoin and similar currencies have | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
taken off in the last 12 months so we need to include them in our | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
analysis of what we call complementary currencies, which also | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
includes local currencies, time banks and local pounds. People are | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
getting involved because they are annoyed at the banking system, the | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
lack of reform, and so rather than complaining, this is almost like a | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
protest vote. Bitcoin is run from a central database which can be | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
accessed by all the current owners. You can either buy your Bitcoins or | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
owned by processing data for the database. And the system went | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
itself, meaning no one can profit from sitting on transactions. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Business students can see both the pitfalls the benefits. It is | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
probably the way forward in the future. This economic world is very | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
volatile. But I think it is a bit risky and everyone is a bit unsure. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
I can understand that people are looking for an economy that is more | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
stable than what we have now. The currency is probably more popular | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
with those who understand it, and it is quite a complex thing to | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
understand so I think people will prefer to use many in the bank. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Bitcoin can challenge the financial world in the same way file sharing | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
challenged the music industry. But it seems people need to better | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
understand the system before that can happen. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
I fully understand it all. Now, have you already made plans for the first | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
weekend of July? Will you be begging a spot to watch | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
the world's biggest cycling race when it arrives in Yorkshire? Well, | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
today details about road closures for the first two stages of the Tour | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
were released. The roads are expected to be closed for a minimum | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
of eight hours. So it might not be the weekend to move house, or | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
celebrate a wedding. Matt Slater has the story. | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
It might look peaceful now but over the years, this area has been rated | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
by rebels, burned by Scots and besieged by Brand heads, so you | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
might think residents tend not to get too excited by fresh | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
innovations, but what about the summer's Tour De France? People are | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
excited but I still do not believe people understand what is actually | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
going to come and hit them, because it is monumental and I do not think | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
people... The joke is, the bikes go through in 30 seconds. Yes, they do, | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
so why do the roads closed for eight hours? Because a lot goes on. You | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
would probably have to live in a cave to not know that the Tour De | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
France is coming to Yorkshire this summer. What you probably do not | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
know though is which roads will be closed during the race and for how | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
long. North Yorkshire County Council has revealed 19 roads will be closed | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
during the first stage, for at least eight hours, with Harrogate town | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
centre closed all day. For Sunday's second stage, five roads will be | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
closed, for much of the A59 off limits. The great Yorkshire show is | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
normally put together on the same weekend but the boss is confident | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
the show will go on. Yorkshire will be extremely busy especially on the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Saturday but we have told everyone what is happening and made clear | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
plans. People are making different plans and it should be fine. Even | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
the best laid plans need a bit of luck with the weather, though. So | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
fingers crossed Yorkshire gets some of last year's cycling weather and | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
not the year before's tractor weather. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
More details about road closures will be on the BBC North Yorkshire | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
website. There's plenty more to come in | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
tonight's Look North. Good news for Black Cats fans in sport. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
And there's nothing like a Dame. Dame Edna is in Newcastle for her | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
farewell tour. And what have we got in the weather? | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
We are in a bit of a weather battle zone. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Cold, dry weather to the East, and milder, wetter weather from the | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
West. Join me later. Councils and council tax payers on | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
both sides of the Pennines are going head`to`head over plans to cut | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
subsidies for bus services. In Cumbria, thousands of people have | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
objected to proposed cuts. The authority says it'll save ?2 million | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
and affect just 5% of routes. Cuts to bus subsidies in North Yorkshire | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
were unanimously agreed by North Yorkshire County Council today. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Services in towns including Pickering, Malton, Norton and Ripon | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
are among those losing their funding. Protestors say the move is | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
short`sighted and will hit the most vulnerable. | :14:22. | :14:35. | |
Much of your `` North Yorkshire is rule. People who do not have access | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
to the vehicles are dependent on public transport, much of which is | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
already a Dame Edna Everage is in Newcastle for her farewell tour. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Skeleton service. The show follows a triumphant season at the London | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
Palladium, with gladioli`strewn ovations and five`star reviews. | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Ahead of tonight's performance at the Theatre Royal, her creator, | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
Barry Humphries, has been talking to our arts reporter, Sharuna Sagar, | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
about his love of the North and his enduring appeal. | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
What is happening? Dave Edna Everage! | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
CHEERING It has been around 20 years since he | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
last performed here. I do not believe it. I remember it | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
because I am a huge admirer of Grey Street, which is, I hope, most of | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
our viewers know, probably the most beautiful 18th`century Street in | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Europe. I like the feeling of the North of England, and it is the home | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
of comedy. The great comedians come from the North. Whoever heard of a | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
Kent comedian? A well`known Dorset comic? But you have been a superstar | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
for 60 years. What is the enduring appeal? My enduring appeal is really | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
that I still alive. I am still energetic. I do not forget my lines | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
except, perhaps, tonight, with the jet lag. You never know. The show is | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
to others on stage, it is for long, high energy. How do you do it? I | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
hope you don't mind me saying that you are going to be 80 years old | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
soon, aren't you? Age is... But you have the energy of a man... Of 78. | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
What is your secret. I do not drink or smoke. I eat very nice sweeties. | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
I/O thought you were going to tell me you took some special | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
supplements, Australia and injections? No, I do not. It is not | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
Viagra. Who needs Viagra in Newcastle? Just walk up Grey Street | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
on a Friday night. I am moving on to the tour now. Why did you decide to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
do a farewell tour? We cannot go on forever. I thought if I called it | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
the farewell tour, more people would buy tickets. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
I am ready for my close`up! Goodbye to an old familiar face, but | :17:34. | :17:49. | |
some new faces to look forward to in the sport. | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
Yes, Sunderland have signed Argentinian goalkeeper Oscar Ustari | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
from Spanish side Almeria this afternoon. He'll go straight into | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
the squad for tomorrow night's big game along Gus Poyet's other new | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
signing this week ` defender Santiago Vergini. The Black Cats are | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
just one step away from Wembley. Man Utd stand between them and their | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
first cup final in 22 years. Despite taking a 2`1 advantage into the | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
second leg of the Capital One Cup semifinal, Poyet's side are still | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
the underdogs. Fabio Borini has scored some | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
important goals this season ` his strike on Saturday began | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Sunderland's fightback against Southampton, and he was responsible | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
for the winner against Man Utd in the first leg of this semifinal. The | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
fans went away happy that night and Gus Poyet hopes the 9,000 who'll | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
make the journey to Manchester tomorrow will have even more to | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
celebrate. I have a feeling that many people just think the final | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
house to be Manchester United versus Manchester city. I would not let | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
that Transco past if I was a player. I would make sure I do everything | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
possible and more to get to the final and give the fans something to | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
cheer about, to be happy and proud about. Sunderland may not have won | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
at Old Trafford since 1968 but under new Manager David Moyes United have | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
lost five games at home this season including a 1`0 defeat to Newcastle | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
last month. And with a host of injuries and captain Nemanja Vidic | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
suspended after being sent off against Chelsea ` there's surely no | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
better time to take on the league champions. I do not like too many | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
big players being out in the big games. It was very important in the | :19:29. | :19:43. | |
first leg. We were very strong. They are top`class players. It was 1985 | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
when the Black Cats were last in a League Cup final but their luck ran | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
out that day when an own goal saw them lose to Norwich and | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
subsequently relegated from the top flight ` fans will be hoping it wont | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
end in tears this time around. In the old days, tens of thousands | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
used to flock to Wembley to see their teams play in the FA Amateur | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Cup, with sides in our region winning it 23 times. Well, yesterday | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
the cup came back one last time, to mark the 125th anniversary of the | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Northern League. Veterans of the competition, which ended in 1974, | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
gathered at Crook Town's Millfield ground to see the old trophy and | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
recall some fond memories. It was one of the focal points of | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
life in those days. There was no television, or not in the North | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
East. The coal mines were still working and there used to be rushing | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
from the coal mines to get changed for the game. Football was the thing | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
in those days. He spent years taking drugs and | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
drinking in Ibiza, but now champion boxer Stuart Hall is using his story | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
to inspire the next generation. Hall lifted the IBF bantamweight title | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
last month to complete his own tale of redemption. Tonight he's back at | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
his old gym in County Durham with a message that dreams can come true. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Peter Harris is in the ring with Stuart now. | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
I do not fancy your chances! I might be a bit tasty under this jacket. | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
This is the latest macro Boxing Academy there maybe future world | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
champion in there. `` the Spennymoor Boxing Academy. Your life has | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
changed from a few years back when you were living it up in their | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
bitter. Yes, I have turned it around. I used to come down here and | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
help the kids out. It is fantastic. It means a lot to you to bring on | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
the next generation? Definitely. Help the kids in the gym, give them | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
a bit of advice. It cheers me up. The last time we saw you your eyes | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
were bit battered and bruised. I guess boxing is a good way to keep | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
kids out of trouble? Yes, it is disciplined, it keeps them off the | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
streets and gives them something to focus on. It is brilliant having a | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
facility like this. Robert was your trainer. You must be proud. Very | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
proud. He has done very well for the country, the area. Very proud. You | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
have got that belt there. What is the next fight? We are still in | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
talks about the next fight, still waiting for a date. But hopefully it | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
will be in the North East. A great occasion. Thank you for joining us. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Hopefully his next fight is coming up soon, and you never know we could | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
have another world champion from Spennymoor right here in this room. | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
Let's hope so. Those boxing pictures were courtesy of Box Nation. | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
Now, Sport Relief is just weeks away, and people are being urged to | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
sign up for the many events taking place across the North East and | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Cumbria. You can choose to run, swim or cycle on the weekend of March | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
21st to 23rd, and it's all in aid of good causes. Well, one group of | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
radio enthusiasts in Middlesbrough has already benefited from your | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
efforts. Phil Chapman has been to the studios of Community Voice FM. | :23:38. | :23:47. | |
Today's charity launch might have sport in the title but for these | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
mutual broadcasters in Middlesborough, it is really all | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
about exercising a new sense of freedom and community. I would | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
personally like to thank Sport Relief and the people who donate | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
because they made this station almost entirely possible. It allows | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
people like myself, I would be tired with nothing to do, and I came along | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
to a meeting, I got roped into it, so to speak, that was 18 months ago | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
and since then I am the one who shoves the microphones in their | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
faces and says, speak. The station has given them a new lease of life | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
and some have even surprised themselves with their on`air talent. | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
John and Anne. Before I knew where I was, someone stuffed a microphone in | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
my face and said, you are on. I have been talking about since. It is | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
ideal because it lets the boys off and they let me in to talk all the | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
time. I have learned how to do the editing. We have learnt how to do | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
interviews. We have got our own shows apart from this one on | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Tuesday. The donation that the public makes allows us the | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
opportunities to develop the initiatives like this, which give | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
many people an opportunity to try things they would not have the | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
opportunity to try. So it is not all about helping far`flung places. If | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
you are training hard for a Sport Relief event, remember all that hard | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
work could be helping to create a lasting legacy on your doorstep. | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
I like the team shirts there. Maybe we could have some. | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
A real mixture on the weather. It was a red sky this morning. This is | :25:41. | :25:54. | |
a shot from the Port of Workington. The rain spreads East tonight. There | :25:55. | :26:04. | |
will be snow on the high ground. A fresh wind. You can see all the rain | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
moving eastwards through the cause of the day, and the white blotches | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
showing the snow. That is over the high ground. By the end of the | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
night, drier in western parts of Cumbria. Most other places will keep | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
heavy rain on and off. It will feel cold in the brisk southeasterly | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
wind. Tomorrow morning, the rain and hill snow continues to move | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
eastwards through the course of the morning so by lunchtime most places | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
have brighter conditions. One or two showers coming in through the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
afternoon. The wind will ease as it turns more south`westerly through | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
the course of the day. Temperatures are bit milder further West. Eight | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
Celsius is 46 Fahrenheit. That is the pressure pattern for tomorrow. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
One weather front moves away, a slight gap before the next one comes | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
in for Thursday bringing more rain. Then a gap giving us a cold night on | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Thursday night before this very active system comes in on Friday to | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
bring wet and windy weather. If you are out and about in the next few | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
days, one or two showers for Cumbria tomorrow. Showery rain on Thursday. | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
More widespread persistent rain on Friday. Always the risk of sleet and | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
snow over higher ground. Similarly unsettled and cool in the East as | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
well. We will be back at 10:25pm. We will. | :27:30. | :27:39. | |
Goodbye. | :27:40. | :27:43. |
