their battle to beat the drop. In the last hour, a man has been | :01:01. | :01:18. | |
charged with the murder of two people at a home in North Tyneside. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
It's believed he's related to them. Police were called out to the street | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
last night after reports of a disturbance. Jonathan Swingler | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
reports. A detached Georgian house in Benton, North Tyneside. The scene | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
of a double killing. They have been named as Clara Patterson and Ray | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Patterson. Police were called here at 9:15pm last night after reports | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
of a disturbance. A man was seen running in the road. The bodies were | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
discovered in the house behind me. The woman was well`known to her | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
neighbours. That field was available for the children to play football | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
and the ball was which returned. Just a nice enough neighbour. Not | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
obtrusive, just a nice woman to have about. 25`year`old Glenn Patterson | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
has been charged with murder and remanded in custody. It is believed | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the two people who died were his grandmother and father. Results of | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
postmortem examinations are connected tomorrow. `` are expected | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
tomorrow. The forecasters have been issuing | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
dire warnings all day. And the latest storm to hit the country is | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
sweeping up the West coast of Cumbria now. With luck, we'll avoid | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the very worst, but that's not saying much. The Met Office says | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
wind speeds could exceed 80mph, with blizzard conditions over high | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
ground. We'll have the latest on road and rail conditions shortly. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
But first we're going to Alison Freeman in Whitehaven. | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
We are in the sheltered calm of Whitehaven harbour, where it is safe | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
enough for us to broadcast from. On exposed areas on the roads and | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
particularly around the headland here, they have been experiencing | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
some very different conditions. Gusts of up to 60 or 70 mph. The | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
wind battered the coastline again here in West Cumbria. The gusts were | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
just shy of 70 mph, buffeting people and anything exposed. The low tide | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
meant that the ways were not threatening the sure this afternoon | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
but a flood warning was issued for 10:30pm tonight. A red warning was | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
issued in the south of the county, meaning there was concern about | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
structural damage to building. `` two buildings. People want of gusts | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
between 80 miles now and 100 mph. Any nonessential journeys, people | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
should stay indoors and not use the roads. If you are going up one | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
essential journeys, be prepared for when you go out, plan your journey | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
and take more time. Slow down on the roads, give yourself more time to | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
get where you want to go. The weather may not have made everyone | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
stay inside but cautions have been taken. Electricity Northwest has | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
been on stand`by in case of power failures and they have drafted in | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
volunteers from the British Red Cross to keep and I on vulnerable | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
customers as the winter strengthens. The gusts are 22 peak at around | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
9:30pm this evening. People are being asked to stay at home and take | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
care. Thank you. Well, that's the situation on the | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
West Coast of Cumbria. But conditions have been deteriorating | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
further inland as well. We can get the latest now from Mark McAlindon | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
in our Carlisle newsroom. What is it like over there? In the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
last few minutes, dramatic development is on the West Coast | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Main Line. We had expected that to close between Carlisle and Preston | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
for two hours between 7pm and 9pm. In the last few minutes, virgin has | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
said that the line will be closed and no trains will be operating out | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
of London Euston, which means the whole West Coast Main Line is closed | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
because of the adverse conditions. There are clearly concerns in | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Cumbria. On the roads, the police are issuing advice about only | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
driving if you have to. Engineers are on stand`by. The Northern power | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
grid has been enticed to say is organised extra engineers and call | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
centre staff to be available tonight. Gusts are respected to be | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
up to 70 mast hour. How bad will it get? Another deep area of low | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
pressure swelling in from the Atlantic, Cumbria bracing itself | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
again. Let us take a look at the picture. This is the next five | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
hours. Letters look at what the weather will do up to midnight | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
tonight the wind will swelling from the south and west, driving in not | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
just a brain but also snow and tonight you will not have to climb | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
very high before that's no `` that snow could accumulate. I will have | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
more in the forecast but it will look very wintry out there with | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
strong winds. Thank you. A killer who stabbed his wife to | :06:33. | :06:45. | |
death in the study of their home after she told him about an affair | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
has been told he faces life in prison. Heather Arthur had been in a | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
relationship with the saxophonist in the jazz band she sang with on | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Tyneside. When she told her husband, Mark, he stabbed her through the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
heart. This afternoon, a jury found Arthur guilty of murder. Our News | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Correspondent Peter Harris reports. Guilty of murder. Mark Arthur was | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the controlling husband. And when he found out his wife Heather was in a | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
relationship with the sax player in a band she sang with, he killed her. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
We now know Heather had feared Arthur's reaction. In a series of | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
texts to her lover, Paul Gowland, her concerns were laid bare. Two | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
days before she died, she texted Mr Gowland that she was "shaking with | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
fear" at telling him it was over but that she had "resolved to end it." | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Next day, she said she was "worried about what he might do." And on her | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
final day alive, she wrote, "Will have to go through his fury and | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
disappointment. I will stand firm." Her fears were tragically | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
appropriate. In the study of their home, Heather Arthur told her | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
husband she had been having an affair and she would be leaving him. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
At this point, you lost control and stabbed her through the heart. He | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
then left the home and headed to their local GP surgery. Arriving | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
here, still in his boxer shorts, our third burst in on a GP and told them | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
he had hurt his wife would stop he was vague about the details, they | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
phoned the police and they found her body back at the house. In jazz | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
circles, where Heather had revealed her talent as a singer, there was | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
shock. Outside of crying, what can you say? It is a shock for anybody. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
She spent 30 years of her life with this person and was with `` and was | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
rewarded with being murdered. She was kind, lively, enthusiastic, very | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
well liked by the members of the group. Everybody says that after | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
someone has died. But in Heather 's case, it is true. She really was, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
she was lovely. Heather and Mark Arthur had moved here from the South | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
of England. They ran an IT firm said to have been struggling. The house | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
had been inherited. Mark Arthur had claimed he was | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
guilty only of manslaughter on the grounds that he had lost control but | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
the jury took just 90 minutes to convict him of murder. He will be | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
sentenced tomorrow but the judge warned him there is only one | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
tendency can pass and that is life in prison. `` there is only one | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
sentence he can pass. Hartlepool Council says more than | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
200 jobs will be secured, and ?1 million a year saved, through a | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
partnership with an information technology company. It's signed a | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
deal with Northgate Public Services to establish a new regional business | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
centre in the town and look after the council's computer needs. The | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
council says some 235 existing staff are planned to move to Hartlepool, | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
mostly from Wynyard Business Centre and there's scope for expansion to | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
300 staff. A Tyneside offshore engineering yard | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
has won a second major order within the space of a few months, creating | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
more than 100 new contract jobs and securing hundreds of existing | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
positions. OGN Group, based at the Hadrian Yard in Wallsend, has been | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
awarded the multi`million`pound contract by a leading international | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
oil and gas operator for the construction of a new process module | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
in the North Sea. A workforce of up to 500 will be employed for the | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
contract, which is expected to last about 16 months. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Nearly half a million people in the North East still smoke, despite all | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
the health warnings. And according to the anti`smoking group Fresh, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
half of them will die prematurely. But if advertising bans, gruesome | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
warnings on cigarette packets and other campaigns fail to turn people | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
off, what will persuade smokers to stub it out for good? Well, perhaps | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
it takes something like this. Sophie McDonnell has been to meet a woman | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
who gave up smoking. But only after she'd been told that the habit has | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
already condemned her to death. Michelle Barthram is 47. If she's | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
lucky, she'll live another 18 months with her husband and daughter at | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
their home in Birtley. Michelle was diagnosed with small cell cancer in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
her lungs just before Christmas. It's a terminal illness. I will | :11:16. | :11:28. | |
never see grandchildren. It is going to be very hard. I will not see my | :11:29. | :11:44. | |
puppy grow up. Friends, I will never see them again. I am lucky in one | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
respect, I have been given time to say goodbye, get things in order. So | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
I am thankful for that. Michelle used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day, | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
but hasn't touched one since the day she was diagnosed. Her consultant at | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead says people don't realise | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
how quickly cancer spreads. He sees the devastating effects everyday. In | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Gateshead, we see perhaps 260 new patients with lung cancer every | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
year. We estimate, if there was no smoking and never had been, we would | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
see maybe five or six cases of lung cancer every year. For a patient to | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
receive a diagnosis of lung cancer is a blow and the only way we can | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
get rid of that tragedy is to help people understand the dangers of | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
smoking and to encourage and support them to stop smoking. 11 people die | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
in the North East every day from a smoking`related illness. The | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
anti`smoking organisation Fresh is urging the region's half a million | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
smokers to quit and live longer. But Michelle has a personal message for | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
smokers. Cancer can strike at any age. Any fitness. It does not matter | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
what you do for a living, just be very careful. If you can stop, do it | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
now. There are loads of things to try to stop and save your family | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
going through what mine have got to go through. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Well, if you smoke and that story has made you more determined to give | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
up, you can find help and advice on quitting online. | :13:28. | :13:39. | |
More goods went in and out of the Port of Tyne last year than in any | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
other year since 1965. The Port handled more than eight million | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
tonnes of cargo, a 22% increase on 2012, and a record number of | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
passengers on cruise liners. The work meant 54 new jobs at the Port, | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
including a dozen new apprenticeships. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
A collection of rare and collectable comics, which we featured in | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
Monday's Look North, has been sold at auction in Newcastle for just | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
under ?25,000. The 448 lots, which were from a Darlington collector, | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
included Spider`Man from number one to number 234, X`Men from number one | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
to number 160, plus Green Lantern number one. The highest bid was ?880 | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
for the first Viz Comic, which was printed in December 1979. | :14:17. | :14:28. | |
It's something women and men have sought for centuries. And it | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
supports an industry worth billions of pounds. The search for a magic | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
pill or lotion that will stop skin ageing is the Holy Grail of the | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
world of cosmetics. And that search might be over. Researchers at | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
Newcastle University are working on a new product they believe may halt | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
the process. They've discovered that an antioxidant which has never been | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
linked with skin health gives 100% protection against damaging UVA | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
radiation from the sun. Our health reporter, Sharon Barbour, has | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
tonight's Look North report. Every year, millions of pounds is | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
spent on looking younger for longer. But what works and what doesn't? | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
Moisturise in the morning, in the afternoon, before you go to bed. I | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
don't look after mine, it is just natural. Exfoliate twice a week. | :15:20. | :15:29. | |
Drink lots of water. Botox! Across the globe, laboratories and | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
pharmaceutical companies are testing products to slow down the ageing | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
process. But has a North East team of scientists stumbled over | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
something to excite the cosmetics industry? Researchers here in this | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
Newcastle laboratory for dermatological science have been | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
doing their own research and have made and exciting discovery. You | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
have a light bulb moment and think what it. Sometimes the what if comes | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
to nothing and you pick yourself up again. In this instance, it proved | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
to be true. What they have discovered is a new antioxidant. It | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
is called Tiron. It hasn't been tested on humans but it has on rats | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
and, under the microscope, shows a remarkable ability to look after our | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
skin. As we get older, our energy declines, our energy from our | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
biological cell. These free radicals increase, these harmful molecules. | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
Tiron and related chemicals help not only our skin that help our body and | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
reduce the acceleration of that ageing process. As the body ages, | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
its cell life deteriorates and ages, and some things can hasten the | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
ageing and cell`damaging process. The worst offenders are smoking, | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
drinking too much, poor diet and pollution, but worst of all for skin | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
damage is burning under too much sunshine. But antioxidants can | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
prevent that and, having tested those known to work, they believe | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Tiron is far more effective than any other. It gives 100% protection of | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
the skin against sun and other damage. So you do not have a little | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
pot of green with a little bit of Tiron that you have tried out? No, | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
for one, it is not safe. You cannot do that sort of thing. It has not | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
been tested for safety. Once they are convinced it's safe to use, | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Tiron could be available within a few years. I think I will order a | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
gallon of that stuff! What about hair loss? There could be some doubt | :17:45. | :17:57. | |
over the Sunderland game? I hope to get some governments and about in a | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
few minutes but I will carry on regardless. | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
Yes, both our Premier League clubs slipped a place without even playing | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
last night. Newcastle can regain eighth spot with victory over Spurs. | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
More on that in a moment. At the wrong end of the table, this late | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
equaliser from Victor Anichebe for West Brom against title contenders | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
Chelsea was responsible for Sunderland slipping back into the | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
bottom three. And, given the home record of tonight's opponents | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Manchester City, there won't be too many thinking they can climb out | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
again by 10pm. In truth, no`one really expected | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
Sunderland to take any points away from the Etihad Stadium just under | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
two years ago, when goals from Seb Larsson helped them to a 3`1 lead. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
Two late goals from the home side made it 3`3 but the Black Cats were | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
still the only team to avoid a league defeat there in Man City's | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
title`winning season. After Sunderland's ten men slipped up at | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
home to Hull, though, there's now more pressure to pick up unexpected | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
away points at City, Arsenal and Liverpool, the next three scheduled | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Premier League matches. You never know how the points you need. We | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
need to get points on the table and then change our home form. While the | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
head coach is looking for a great performance tonight, he also | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
recognises the match's potential significance as a dress rehearsal | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
for next month's League Cup final at Wembley. It will be important for us | :19:13. | :19:22. | |
to see again whether we can compete and be a team that is difficult to | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
play against. If we do well, I am sure we will go into the final with | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
a different attitude because I'm convinced that the mental side is | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
the most important part. Four home wins in a row over City will count | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
for nothing unless the defence holds firm. January signing Santiago | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Vergini could deputise for the suspended Wes Brown. | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
The goal that means Newcastle also slipped a place last night. Despite | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
the best efforts of former United keeper Steve Harper, Southampton | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
were the 1`0 winners at Hull to leapfrog Newcastle in the Premier | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
League. The Magpies will reclaim eighth with a win tonight, of | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
course, and go into the match looking to end a run of four | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
consecutive home defeats, but shorn of key players. I think our home | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
record has dipped of late. That has coincided with losing a lot of goals | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
out of the team. We have lost 24 goals, forget about assists. We need | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
is their cup `` we need to step up to the plate. We need to score | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
goals. This evening's match with fourth placed Spurs is Alan Pardew's | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
150th in charge. He has done a good job. There is an expectant crowd out | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
there. They demand results. It has not been going for them lately but | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
we do not want this to be the game where they can turn it around. | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
Victory would give Newcastle their first league double of the season. A | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Loic Remy goal and some brilliant goalkeeping gave United a 1`0 win in | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
the capital last November. Spurs boosted their chances of finishing | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
in a Champions League spot with a 1`0 win against Everton on Sunday. | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
The Londoners have not won at St James' Park in the league for ten | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
years and Newcastle know they will be expected to do their duty by | :21:07. | :21:19. | |
continuing that run. As I feared, Manchester city versus Sunderland | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
has been postponed for public safety reasons. That is because of the bad | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
storms. The West has been hit worse than the East at the moment. | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
Carlisle United have signed former Rangers striker Nacho Novo on a | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
short`term contract, subject to clearance. United manager Graham | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
Kavanagh revealed terms had been agreed with the 34`year`old Spaniard | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
following the Cumbrians' 1`0 win over Bradford, which eased their | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
relegation fears. The only goal came after the Yorkshire side, now | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
without a win in 13 league games, made a hash of clearing a corner and | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Lee Miller scored with a skillful overhead kick. Carlisle are now | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
three points above the relegation zone. | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
The Durham County Cricket captain Paul Collingwood has joined the | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
England coaching staff for the West Indies tour and World Twenty20 in | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Yorkshire have signed one of the world's best | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
one`day batsmen, the Australian international Aaron Finch. He holds | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
the world record for the highest ever Twenty20 international innings. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
The Formula One season opens in Australia next month, with Melbourne | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
the first race on the 2014 calendar. With new regulations in place, it's | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
been a busy winter for those whose job it is to get the cars out on the | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
track. But the President of the Marussia team also took the chance | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
to spend some quality time at home in his native Northumberland, as | :22:29. | :22:29. | |
Jeff Brown found out. Yes, it is a glamorous life, even if | :22:30. | :22:47. | |
the testing session in Southern Spain wasn't geared up for | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
sunbathing. So, back home in Corbridge, a chance for Graeme | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Lowdon to relax and reflect on a remarkable journey. Me and my wife, | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
we set up a racing team in 1996 will stop it seems about 5000 years ago | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
now and that was in need junior formula `` that was in the junior | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
formula. That was so difficult and we got some great support from some | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
companies in the North East which we will never forget that was | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
brilliant. We progressed through the formulas. We raised with several | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
drivers that are now in Formula 1. We saw there was an opportunity to | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
take the team into Formula 1, which is a massive step. It is like taking | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
a non`league team into the champions league and doing it overnight. We | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
saw the opportunity and we got an entry and then the hard work | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
started. Originally with the backing of Richard Branson under the Virgin | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
banner, three years ago the team attracted investment from Russia. As | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Marussia, drivers Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi took them to tenth | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
place in the Constructors' Championship last year. They're | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
still looking for their first race point, but the harsh world of F1 | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
does have its compensations. That is the great thing about Formula 1. We | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
go to all of the exotic places, Monaco and Singapore and there is a | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
lot of show business around Formula 1. It is very hard work. If I had to | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
sum it up in one word, it would be relentless because it is a | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
relentless issued, highly competitive. If you stand still for | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
one minute, you will be going backwards. It will be better, the | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
weather in Monaco than in Manchester. It is gradually getting | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
over to the East now as well. In Newcastle, Wingrove Road was | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
closed for a time of day Jimmy Foale from a roof. The road has just | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
reopened. It looks as though winds will strengthen. That is look at the | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
wind speed is earlier. In the Pennines, the gusts topped out at 84 | :25:14. | :25:25. | |
mph. The winds will strengthen, breaching a peak at around 9pm or | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
10pm tonight. There are ample warnings in place tonight but there | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
is also a yellow warning in force for snow as well. That is through | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
this evening and for the early hours of tomorrow as well. That falls on | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
ground above 150 metres, around 450 feet. You don't have to go very high | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
before you can see accumulations of between one centimetre and three | :25:50. | :26:01. | |
centimetres. Around 900 `1000 the, they could be several inches. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
Temperatures fall to just above freezing, still with the wind | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
buffeting the region, up to 30 mph all night tonight and through the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
morning rush`hour tomorrow. Through the day tomorrow, things will is for | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
a time. A few wintry showers around but bright spells as well, | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
especially in the north`east through the early part of the day. More | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
wintry weather sets in from the West, a wintry mix. Once again, | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
sleet and snow over the hills was the rain and sleet at lower levels. | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
It will feel colder would be south`westerly winds. They will | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
still drive across the region. It is grey and miserable with plenty more | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
snow over the hills. Let us take a look at the big picture. Things | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
possibly a little, later tomorrow and early on Friday morning but then | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
more stormy weather, another low pressure system swirls in from the | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Atlantic. Look how tightly packed the isobars are, strong winds more | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
heavy rainfall and more snow potentially on the leading edge of | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
that front on Friday and Saturday. Let us look at what that will mean | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
in terms of detail. In Cumbria, if you wet days, possibly dry on Friday | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
and then very similar in the north`east as well. More wet and | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
wild weather to come. I suppose winter had to come at some | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
time. We'll be back with the latest news at 10pm. Take care. Good night. | :27:42. | :27:46. |
