:00:58. > :01:01.ex`Casualty actor Clive Mantle, during which part of his ear was
:01:02. > :01:05.bitten off, have been cleared of all charges. Philip McGilvray, admitted
:01:06. > :01:09.biting the 56`year`old's ear during a row over late`night noise in a
:01:10. > :01:15.Newcastle Travelodge, but claimed he was acting in self defence. His
:01:16. > :01:18.friend Alan French, like Mr McGilvray, was cleared of Grievous
:01:19. > :01:21.Bodily Harm with Intent and the lesser charge of Grievous Bodily
:01:22. > :01:26.Harm, after a jury deliberated for almost five hours. Jonathan Swingler
:01:27. > :01:39.joins us live from Newcastle Crown Court. Both defendants have been
:01:40. > :01:45.found not guilty. Clive Mantle had been appearing at the Theatre Royale
:01:46. > :01:49.last year. The 56`year`old is best known for his role in Casualty. He
:01:50. > :01:54.had been staying at the Travelodge. He had been staying at the
:01:55. > :01:59.Travelodge. He had woken up at in the corridor. He said he politely
:02:00. > :02:03.told Philip McGilvray and Alan French to be quiet. The pair had
:02:04. > :02:08.been drinking heavily. What happened next was all that in them being on
:02:09. > :02:12.the ground and having part of his ear written off. The pair argued
:02:13. > :02:25.they were acting in self defence, didn't they? `` bitten off. He said
:02:26. > :02:30.it was like two hyenas attacking him. Philip McGilvray admitted
:02:31. > :02:35.biting that year. He said he was acting in self defence. He said it
:02:36. > :02:39.was like being hit by the car. Clive Mantle was on top of me. He said he
:02:40. > :02:45.bore the actor was trying to kill him. He told the court he was
:02:46. > :02:49.disgusted and had been for few years ago, in which a bouncer had bitten
:02:50. > :02:53.off his ear. Alan French denied attacking him. He said he said he
:02:54. > :02:57.was trying to help his friend. He denied punching the actor. Clive
:02:58. > :03:01.Mantle argued he had been punched six times. What sort of reaction did
:03:02. > :03:08.the verdict get from Clive Mantle and the defendants? Both face
:03:09. > :03:12.charges of grievous bodily harm with intent and grievous bodily harm. The
:03:13. > :03:17.judge said he would accept a majority verdict, and a jury cleared
:03:18. > :03:21.both pair of both charges. They didn't want to be interviewed. They
:03:22. > :03:25.are heading back to Scotland. Alan French told me he wanted to be home
:03:26. > :03:33.with his children. Clive Mantle wasn't in court today.
:03:34. > :03:40.It's a 150 foot radio mast that's going to cost one of our police
:03:41. > :03:44.forces ?300,000 to move. The mast was built in the 1960s and designed
:03:45. > :03:48.by Sir Ove Arup ` the man also responsible for buildings like the
:03:49. > :03:51.Sydney Opera House. But now Durham Police will have to dismantle the
:03:52. > :03:56.mast and re`build it, after deciding to move to new headquarters. As our
:03:57. > :03:59.Chief Reporter Chris Stewart explains, leaving the mast where it
:04:00. > :04:04.is, could have cost the police ?1 million.
:04:05. > :04:08.Built in the middle of the space race, the rocket radio mast. But
:04:09. > :04:12.when the police decided to replace their shabby old headquarters, it
:04:13. > :04:15.was time to knock it down. Except that would have been against the
:04:16. > :04:24.law, because this is a listed structure. So, then they thought
:04:25. > :04:28.about leaving it where it is, except that would mean the land it is on,
:04:29. > :04:32.which they want to sell for housing, would be worth an awful lot less.
:04:33. > :04:36.What we have got here is a space rocket which can't fly. A space
:04:37. > :04:39.rocket which can't be demolished, and a space rocket which is in
:04:40. > :04:42.danger of costing the cops ?1 million. Money the police need for
:04:43. > :04:48.policing, to serve communities like Kimblesworth, Sacriston,
:04:49. > :04:53.Nettlesworth. The conclusion was inescapable. Houston we have a
:04:54. > :04:56.problem. But now, there is a solution, ?300,000 will be spent on
:04:57. > :04:59.dismantling the rocket and rebuilding it here at the new
:05:00. > :05:07.headquarters, so the police are spending to save. There will always
:05:08. > :05:10.be people who say the money could have been better spent elsewhere,
:05:11. > :05:13.but we have to observe all the rules and revelations given to us by the
:05:14. > :05:17.people who look after the structures. We are going to do what
:05:18. > :05:23.they say, get it shifted, but we will do it properly, and I think it
:05:24. > :05:27.will look good in its new location. A bust of Sir Ove Arup stares out of
:05:28. > :05:30.another of his works in Durham, the Kingsgate Footbridge, but the
:05:31. > :05:37.commission for the mast was possibly his most unusual. It was just a
:05:38. > :05:41.challenge for a radio mast, and here he was. He had done The Penguin Pool
:05:42. > :05:45.in the Regent's Park Zoo, he did the Pompidou. This was yet another
:05:46. > :05:47.challenge, as is this bridge we are standing on. Take off is scheduled
:05:48. > :05:55.for the summer. Disappointingly it'll be on the back of a low
:05:56. > :05:58.loader. A jury has heard details of text
:05:59. > :06:03.messages between the former Newcastle united footballer and the
:06:04. > :06:08.woman he's alleged to have raped. In one text, Nile Ranger is described
:06:09. > :06:13.as a "crazy sex pest". He denies rape at a hotel last year. Our News
:06:14. > :06:17.Correspondent Peter Harris reports. Nile Ranger. Today described in
:06:18. > :06:20.court as a predator, in a lengthy series of text messages between
:06:21. > :06:26.himself and the women he allegedly went on to rape. Rebuffing texts
:06:27. > :06:30.inviting her to his flat, at one point she replied that he was like
:06:31. > :06:35."a crazy sex pest animal let out of its cage." Earlier he'd written:
:06:36. > :06:41."you are moving like I'm Jack Da Ripper. " She says: "Nile I'm defo
:06:42. > :06:44.not coming over, will meet for drinks but not coming to your
:06:45. > :06:53.house." He later writes:"I will not take you against your will." Under
:06:54. > :06:56.cross examination he alleged victim told the court she separately
:06:57. > :06:58.received texts from "random footballers" including someone
:06:59. > :07:09.purporting to be former Newcastle player Andy Carroll. Before and
:07:10. > :07:15.after a knee he said, to which she replied he can come out wearing a
:07:16. > :07:25.wig. No one will ever think it is you, she said.
:07:26. > :07:31.She was unsure where they got her number. It's alleged Nile Ranger,
:07:32. > :07:34.who now plays for Swindon, raped the woman in a Newcastle hotel last
:07:35. > :07:37.January. He says it was consensual, and his barrister suggested the
:07:38. > :07:42.hundreds of texts between them showed she was interested in
:07:43. > :07:50.developing a relationship. She said that was not true. The case
:07:51. > :07:53.continues. ?500,000 has been paid out to
:07:54. > :07:57.stressed and injured teachers ` and children ` in Cumbria in the last
:07:58. > :08:00.five years ` according to figures released by the County Council.
:08:01. > :08:04.Union leaders say the payments reflect the increasing workloads
:08:05. > :08:10.faced by teachers. Mark McAlindon is in our Carlisle newsroom now. Mark,
:08:11. > :08:14.what exactly are these payments for? The precise figure over the five
:08:15. > :08:17.years up to March last year Carol was ?520`000, and that was revealed
:08:18. > :08:21.after a freedom of information request was made to Cumbria County
:08:22. > :08:24.Council. That money was used to pay compensation claims and legal costs
:08:25. > :08:27.on the part of teachers, schools staff and pupils. Broadly speaking,
:08:28. > :08:31.we're talking about claims made for victims of stress, and for injuries
:08:32. > :08:34.suffered while at school. In particular, more than ?111,000 was
:08:35. > :08:40.paid out to teachers suffering stress linked to bullying or
:08:41. > :08:44.harassment. ?121,000 was paid out to pupils for a range of injuries, the
:08:45. > :08:48.most common being those linked to a lack of supervision. ?90,000 was
:08:49. > :08:53.spent compensating teachers who'd suffered trips or falls. And ?60,000
:08:54. > :08:56.was for injuries linked to what's called 'defective premises.' There
:08:57. > :09:03.were other, smaller amounts that make up this half`million figure,
:09:04. > :09:07.Carol. And Mark, what have people in the profession had to say about
:09:08. > :09:10.this? I've spoken to teachers' leaders today, those who represent
:09:11. > :09:13.members of the profession. Alan Rutter is Secretary of the Cumbria
:09:14. > :09:17.branch of the National Union of Teachers. He said to me that in his
:09:18. > :09:20.view this is the tip of the iceberg. He says the payments being made to
:09:21. > :09:24.teachers in particular reflect rising levels of stress, and he says
:09:25. > :09:26.people are being driven out of the profession by stress and
:09:27. > :09:29.unreasonable expectations. He says that if everyone who had to leave
:09:30. > :09:33.teaching was given compensation then the bill would run into millions of
:09:34. > :09:36.pounds, not thousands. As for injuries for example, he says he's
:09:37. > :09:39.come across incidents in the past where, for example, chairs have been
:09:40. > :09:42.thrown at teachers leaving them injured and unable to return to
:09:43. > :09:46.work. He says these are not payments made for frivolous claims.
:09:47. > :09:49.A Teesside Labour MP has defended a decision to take on an apprentice in
:09:50. > :09:52.his office at ?3.37`an`hour. The political blogger Guido Fawkes says
:09:53. > :09:56.Alex Cunningham is a hypocrite who has campaigned for rises in the
:09:57. > :10:01.minimum wage. The legal minimum for an apprentice is just ?2.68`an`hour.
:10:02. > :10:05.But in the past the Stockton MP has called for all young people to get a
:10:06. > :10:09.minimum of ?6.31. Mr Cunningham says he's just trying to offer someone an
:10:10. > :10:13.opportunity. I have campaigned for equal pay for
:10:14. > :10:17.equal work. The role I have in mind is for an apprentice, who will work
:10:18. > :10:21.in the office and work towards a qualification. The rate is above the
:10:22. > :10:25.minimum rate for the job, of course. It is not really enough. I would
:10:26. > :10:29.like to be able to pay more, but what I want to do is give the young
:10:30. > :10:32.person an opportunity to get properly qualification and go on to
:10:33. > :10:35.get a proper job. All this week on Look North we're
:10:36. > :10:39.commemorating the "World War One at Home" a BBC project in partnership
:10:40. > :10:42.with Imperial War Museums. In tonight's look at how our region
:10:43. > :10:45.contributed to the war effort, Gerry Jackson reports on the women
:10:46. > :10:48.munition workers who trounced their opponents on the football pitch `
:10:49. > :10:58.not least due to one tough Northumberland lass. Wait until you
:10:59. > :11:05.hear her goal`scoring record! She was a miner's daughter: tall,
:11:06. > :11:09.strong and only 17. And a goal`scoring phenomenon. Organised
:11:10. > :11:13.women's football had begun in the 1890s, but it wasn't until the Great
:11:14. > :11:21.War that their game became generally accepted. Times were changing fast.
:11:22. > :11:24.Women were taking on jobs vacated by men and they were the vast majority
:11:25. > :11:31.of the munition workers supplying the front lines overseas. It was
:11:32. > :11:33.often hard, physical work. Those with energy to spare began
:11:34. > :11:38.organising themselves into football teams. The best of them were Blyth
:11:39. > :11:45.Spartans Ladies and their star centre forward, Bella Reay. Nearly a
:11:46. > :11:48.hundred years on, her grandaughter is walking in her footsteps In one
:11:49. > :11:56.season, Bella's team were unbeaten in all their 30 games and she scored
:11:57. > :12:11.133 times. There are crowds of 10,000 people. That was a lot of
:12:12. > :12:15.people in those days. On average, it is at least three goals a game. I
:12:16. > :12:26.don't think there was a game she played when she did not score. What
:12:27. > :12:30.with the atmosphere have been like? When you consider that people were
:12:31. > :12:35.working long hours, seven days a week, with very little time off,
:12:36. > :12:40.there was nothing else in the way of release for them from hard work. To
:12:41. > :12:46.be able to come what is a beautiful ground and see a proper match
:12:47. > :12:51.contested between two teams of women, it was very unique. The games
:12:52. > :12:54.drew ever bigger crowds, all raising funds for the war effort for some
:12:55. > :13:00.people there was the novelty of seeing women in shorts. For others
:13:01. > :13:03.that was a minor scandal. But these women were a long way from your
:13:04. > :13:14.archetyple genteel, delicate Edwardian ladies. Some of the
:13:15. > :13:19.language here adhere was a bit industrial? It was not just the
:13:20. > :13:24.language. They could be violent. Kicking and hacking the opponent was
:13:25. > :13:30.quite common. Bella said she sometimes came up against some big,
:13:31. > :13:35.hard ladies and gave as good as she got. This helps explain why she was
:13:36. > :13:37.successful. In 1918, Blyth beat Allcomers to win the northeast
:13:38. > :13:49.Munitionettes Cup, Bella, naturally scored a hattrick in the final. She
:13:50. > :13:55.said she was good but she knew it. It is really nice to think she was
:13:56. > :14:00.that good. We have her gold medal to prove she played, all of the better
:14:01. > :14:08.pieces we have. It is nice to think that a little bit of history behind
:14:09. > :14:12.your family isn't there. They were pioneers and their exploits could
:14:13. > :14:20.have been a springboard for women's football. Unfortunately in 1921, the
:14:21. > :14:30.FA bandits. That ban wasn't lifted until the 1970s. By that work into
:14:31. > :14:36.her 60s for the local farmer. I sometimes wonder when she was
:14:37. > :14:42.working in the fields, she cast her I in the direction of the football
:14:43. > :14:55.stadium and heard faint echoes from the past. She remembered being 17
:14:56. > :14:59.years old. You would not have found her in a
:15:00. > :15:02.nightclub. And there'll be a World War One at Home report on Look North
:15:03. > :15:06.each evening this week. Tomorrow morning on your local radio station,
:15:07. > :15:10.you can hear another story about the impact World War One had on where

:15:19. > :15:22.People in a North Yorkshire town have been given a chance to be the
:15:23. > :15:26.stars of a new American film. The Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond
:15:27. > :15:29.is being used as a film set by a US film company, shooting a film about
:15:30. > :15:32.the life of Handel, the renowned German`born composer. Producers have
:15:33. > :15:37.had no shortage of local extras willing to take part, as Phil
:15:38. > :15:42.Chapman's been finding out. Given the chance to wear a powdered
:15:43. > :15:44.wig for a day and help a visiting American film create recreate a
:15:45. > :15:48.piece of 18th`century musical history, there was no shortage of
:15:49. > :15:52.extras flocking to Richmond. The Georgian Theatre Royal was a star in
:15:53. > :15:58.itself with the director, and he was pleased to get extras who could mime
:15:59. > :16:02.to violin as well. Our criteria was to have people who could play and,
:16:03. > :16:05.even though it is played back, they need to look the part. When it is
:16:06. > :16:10.finished it will sound terrific. You guys have locations here we can't
:16:11. > :16:14.duplicate in the States. It is a privilege to be here. Here in
:16:15. > :16:17.Richmond, some extras were even found among the staff at the
:16:18. > :16:22.theatre, and others were literally pulled off the street. I was taking
:16:23. > :16:26.my son to nursery. I got stopped by a drunken man, who wanted to have a
:16:27. > :16:30.little chat. The casting director came out and asked if I would like
:16:31. > :16:36.to take part. I declined at first, and then I dropped my son off at
:16:37. > :16:42.nursery. I came back and he had his eye out ` the casting director. He
:16:43. > :16:48.asked me again and I accepted. It has been a whirlwind since then. I
:16:49. > :16:51.came into the office expecting a day counting money and preparing
:16:52. > :16:54.figures. I heard a production company were short of some extras,
:16:55. > :17:01.so I was dragged across to wardrobe and make`up. It has been fantastic.
:17:02. > :17:05.Now, Penny and Ruth and the rest of the cast are hoping they survive the
:17:06. > :17:11.cutting room floor for when the TV drama airs in the US later this
:17:12. > :17:14.year. Sporting stars have been honoured at
:17:15. > :17:17.the North East Disability Sports Awards in Durham today. Among the
:17:18. > :17:21.winners was Josef Craig who was named Male Personality of the Year.
:17:22. > :17:25.The awards recognise disabled athletes who've contributed most
:17:26. > :17:30.over the last year. Stephanie Cleasby reports.
:17:31. > :17:33.Another great year for paralympic gold medallist Josef Craig. The
:17:34. > :17:38.17`year`old swimmer adds another trophy to his growing collection.
:17:39. > :17:42.But it was left to mum to pick up the Male Personality of the Year
:17:43. > :17:49.award because the man himself was at school. It means a great deal,
:17:50. > :17:57.especially being a disability personality. That is what he says he
:17:58. > :18:00.is disabled son I am proud of it. And it was another South Tyneside
:18:01. > :18:04.swimming star, Nicole Lough, who won the equivalent award for the ladies
:18:05. > :18:18.` topping off an exciting year. I won bronze in November. I met Prince
:18:19. > :18:21.William. Karate champion Ryan Spencer, who suffers from a rare
:18:22. > :18:32.bone condition, won the Young Male Achiever Award. Any award makes me
:18:33. > :18:36.feel better about myself, and hopefully I can set an example to
:18:37. > :18:40.other people, and they can achieve anything they want. And the Peterlee
:18:41. > :18:46.athlete Megan Atkinson won the women's trophy for her success in
:18:47. > :18:55.swimming. I have been chosen out of so many people. Was it a shock? Yes.
:18:56. > :18:58.I was up against so many excellent athletes. There was also recognition
:18:59. > :19:01.for Northern Thunder Powerchair Football Club which won Club of the
:19:02. > :19:05.Year for their competition success in Europe. The Coach of the Year
:19:06. > :19:08.Award went to Ron Young who's been involved with cricket for more than
:19:09. > :19:11.20 years. And there was an award for the couragous gymnast Kieran
:19:12. > :19:19.Maxwell, who's fighting cancer for the second time. 2013 was a high
:19:20. > :19:23.achieving year for disability sport in the north`east. The awards have
:19:24. > :19:32.the most nominations ever. No doubt a positive legacy of the 20 of 12 ``
:19:33. > :19:35.2012 Olympic Games. Hot on the heels of a much`needed
:19:36. > :19:38.victory over Aston Villa, some good news for Newcastle united off the
:19:39. > :19:42.pitch. The club's announced profits of just under ?10 million for the
:19:43. > :19:48.year to June 2013. That's up from ?1.4 million ` a 700% increase!
:19:49. > :19:53.Almost ?29 million was spent on new players, with ?11 million re`couped
:19:54. > :19:57.on sales. The wage bill fell by ?2.4 million to just under ?62 million
:19:58. > :20:11.pounds. The wages to turnover ratio was 64%` well under the 70% Premier
:20:12. > :20:14.League average. But the club still owes owner Mike Ashley ?129 million,
:20:15. > :20:17.although that debt is interest free. Former Sunderland boss Steve Bruce
:20:18. > :20:21.has already got one over his old club in two league games this
:20:22. > :20:24.season. And last night his Hull City side booked an FA Cup quarterfinal
:20:25. > :20:28.against the Black Cats. It'll be played a week on Sunday ` exactly
:20:29. > :20:31.seven days after the League Cup Final.
:20:32. > :20:35.For most footballers, playing at Wembley would be the high point of
:20:36. > :20:38.your career ` especially if you're just 18, and you're turning out for
:20:39. > :20:42.your hometown club. But it doesn't always work out like that. Every
:20:43. > :20:46.Sunderland fan who was around in 1985 will remember the part David
:20:47. > :20:51.Corner played in the Milk Cup final with Norwich City. And ` as Jeff
:20:52. > :20:55.Brown found out ` that's the problem.
:20:56. > :20:58.Popping into a pub on the seafront at Roker, not far from where
:20:59. > :21:01.Sunderland's old ground once stood. These days it is something David
:21:02. > :21:05.Corner doesn't think twice about doing, but it is not something he
:21:06. > :21:10.has taken for granted over the past 29 years. Not after what happened at
:21:11. > :21:16.Wembley. I chased the ball down with a player in hot pursuit. I tried to
:21:17. > :21:20.shepherd the ball out basically. He nipped in and managed to get across
:21:21. > :21:22.in and we were 1`0 down. I have never been able to forget it ever
:21:23. > :21:33.since. As a professional you have got to
:21:34. > :21:39.put it out of your mind. You will make mistakes. You have to get on
:21:40. > :21:42.with it. That is what I tried to do. Obviously, later on in the game we
:21:43. > :21:50.got a penalty, which Clive Walker missed. Although, I do get the blame
:21:51. > :21:54.for that these days. When you went back in the dressing room, did
:21:55. > :21:58.anyone point the finger, or were they saying it was one of those
:21:59. > :22:04.things? Not at all. The lads were great. The manager was superb. He
:22:05. > :22:10.came in and said overall I had a decent game. But the fans weren't
:22:11. > :22:13.always so understanding. A broken jaw, fractured eye socket and
:22:14. > :22:17.stitches in his lip. Just some of the scars left over from the ones
:22:18. > :22:22.who blame David for the Cup Final defeat. Yes, I think I've been
:22:23. > :22:26.reminded more or less every day since that by someone who recognises
:22:27. > :22:34.me, and they shout the famous words, why didn't you kick it out. On the
:22:35. > :22:37.whole, the fans are OK with it now. There was some dodgy moments early
:22:38. > :22:43.days, because some of the fans were a little bit upset at what had
:22:44. > :22:49.happened. Sunderland don't often get to Wembley. Now, of course, they are
:22:50. > :22:54.back there and, if you can get a ticket, David will be there as well.
:22:55. > :23:00.Obviously, we will go as underdogs as we usually do, but we beat
:23:01. > :23:04.Manchester City once this season. We have to think all of our players
:23:05. > :23:07.have to play at the top, their top performance on the day, and
:23:08. > :23:13.Manchester City players have to have some average performances. You never
:23:14. > :23:18.know, with a bit of luck we could well pull something off. If they do
:23:19. > :23:28.pull it off, maybe David will be able to remember Wembley for all the
:23:29. > :23:31.right reasons. Former County Durham Olympic boxer
:23:32. > :23:35.Bradley Saunders may only be on the undercard of Stuart Hall's world
:23:36. > :23:39.title defence at the end of March, but he has global ambitions of his
:23:40. > :23:42.own. Saunders, from Sedgefield, jetted in to Tyneside from his
:23:43. > :23:53.Marbella training base to talk about the latest step on his professional
:23:54. > :23:58.journey. Mark Tulip reports. Even France's Warren admits
:23:59. > :24:06.28`year`old Bradley Saunders is in a hurry to get to the top. That means
:24:07. > :24:12.facing some tough title opponents. Bradley has gone at a rapid rate
:24:13. > :24:19.than we are used to break guide. It'll prove a difficult test. Paul
:24:20. > :24:28.has mixed it with the best. Bradley, it is a big ask. Hopefully he is in
:24:29. > :24:30.colour on the top of his game. Saunders, one of British boxing's
:24:31. > :24:33.outstanding emerging talents, features on the undercard of Stuart
:24:34. > :24:37.Hall's IBF World Bantamweight title defence against Martin Ward at the
:24:38. > :24:40.Metro Radio Arena on Saturday 29th March. The all`action 28`year`old `
:24:41. > :24:43.a Team GB Olympian at Beijing in 2008 and a Bronze medal winner at
:24:44. > :24:47.the 2007 World Amateur Championships ` has raced to an unbeaten eight
:24:48. > :24:51.fights since turning pro in February 2012 and will take a big step up in
:24:52. > :24:53.his ninth pro fight. I am immensely strong person. They would have the
:24:54. > :24:56.chop my hands after stop me boxing. I've had the worst hand injuries
:24:57. > :24:59.going. They are better now. It won't stop me doing something I love. The
:25:00. > :25:12.key to his success is living in more player. I am fully focused on my
:25:13. > :25:23.boxing. I go to the gym. I go to pick my kid up. I am living the
:25:24. > :25:34.life. That is a good idea. We would benefit from training in Spain. We
:25:35. > :25:41.had the sunshine today but also those showers. There are still some
:25:42. > :25:47.showers this evening. Most of them should now disappear. Many of us
:25:48. > :25:55.will have a dry night. It will stay breezy for us. Temperatures will
:25:56. > :26:00.drop below four Celsius. You might well see temperatures cold enough
:26:01. > :26:05.for just a touch of ground frost. A chilly start tomorrow. It will be
:26:06. > :26:10.dry so make the most of it. The next band of rain comes in from the West.
:26:11. > :26:17.It'll be heavy at times when some snow in the hills. Before those
:26:18. > :26:21.showers become widespread you will start to see something a bit drier
:26:22. > :26:29.and brighter developed. Tempered as will peak at eight Celsius. We have
:26:30. > :26:34.a brisk and gusty south westerly wind to contend with. As we head to
:26:35. > :26:40.tomorrow night, the next frontal system comes in, bringing wet and
:26:41. > :26:47.windy weather. As that clears away on Thursday, it leaves sunny spells
:26:48. > :26:53.and a few showers. That'll be the case on Friday as well. If you are
:26:54. > :26:58.out and about in Cumbria over the next two days, there will be some
:26:59. > :27:03.rain for a good spell tomorrow. The showers are more scattered on
:27:04. > :27:10.Thursday. It turns a bit colder on Friday, when the risk of overnight
:27:11. > :27:13.frost. It is a similar picture in the north`east. The winds come from
:27:14. > :27:21.the south`west or West. They tend to get the Friday, with temperatures of
:27:22. > :27:28.six or seven Celsius. We will keep you updated on your local radio
:27:29. > :27:42.station. Please do keep your weather pictures coming in. Thank you very
:27:43. > :27:47.much. That is it from me. We are back later on at 10:25pm.
