military activity in the area tonight. That is all from us, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello, welcome to Friday's Look North. In the programme tonight: The | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
man whose life was saved by amputating his leg, and attaching | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
part of it to his arm. An exclusive report on what could be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
a world first by surgeons on Tyneside. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Also tonight, the homeowners who sold their properties believing they | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
could stay there for a knock`down rent, but then were hit with | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
eviction orders. Whatever happened to winter? It's | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
been the mildest one for years but some people are ruing the lack of | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
snow. And what a night if you were looking | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
North. The Aurora Borealis reward watchers with a brilliant display | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
across our region. The Wearside Exodus to the capital | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
is about to get underway but what will more than 30,000 Sunderland | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
fans witness at Wembley? Jubilation or just being left with thoughts of | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
what might have been. Surgeons at the Freeman Hospital in | :00:54. | :01:08. | |
Newcastle believe it could be a world first. In a risky 18`hour | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
operation, they've saved the life of a man threatened by cancer. The | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
surgery was so revolutionary it involved amputating one of his legs | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
and keeping part of it alive by attaching it to his arm. The | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
patient, Ian McGregor, from Sunderland, says he feels like he's | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
been living through an episode of Startrek. Our health reporter Sharon | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Barbour has this exclusive report. Ian McGregor's possibly one of the | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
happiest men you could meet. He's happy to be alive and his wife's | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
happy he is too. I was thinking, what happens if I | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
don't get through the? You just say your goodbyes. One came through to | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
see him, once I had seen him. That face was there, goodness, I am back. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
I felt more in love with him than I ever have. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
He has survived as a result of some remarkable, pioneering surgery at | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. Surgeons had to remove a large | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
aggressive cancerous tumour at the top of his leg. But there was a | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
problem. The doctors needed to remove his leg and in fact a large | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
part of his body, and they were not sure how they were going to put him | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
back together again. But then they came up with an idea, and when they | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
don't believe has been tried before in the UK. It was a plan that would | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
mean an 18 hour operation. Ian had developed a large tumour on the top | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
of his plight. It had grown into his pelvis. To get access to it soon did | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
is needed to amputate his leg, but before they did this they carefully | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
removed his lower leg except for the bone, attached everything to lose | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
for arm, reconnecting the blood supply. After removing the leg and | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
the tumour, they then disconnected his calf from his arm and used that | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
to repair the large wound area. It is not easy for a surgeon to tell a | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
patient I haven't done this before, but I had to. And he knows very well | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
we hadn't done anything like this before. But we know that nobody | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
had. People keep saying, we will be taking the calf of, implanting it | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
into your right arm, keeping it alive, I thought it was amazing. It | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
is like Star Trek. The operation has run moved all his cancer. It's hoped | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
Ian, who now has his calf on his hip, is cured. Physically and | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
psychologically he is amazingly well. At the moment, and hopefully | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
it will remain so, he is tumour free. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Having made medical history Ian now has a prosthetic leg fitted. To say | :04:03. | :04:12. | |
he's grateful is an understatement. Amazing. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
They thought it was the answer to their problems. People in financial | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
trouble sold their homes to property buyers who promised they could still | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
live there for a knock`down rent. But within a few years they found | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
themselves in a nightmare. It's alleged the property firms had | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
themselves arranged mortgages to buy them out then defaulted and the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
tenants were hit with eviction orders when the banks tried to get | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
their money back. Our news correspondent Peter Harris reports. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
Having hit financial trouble, Eric and his wife looked for a way out, | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
so when a company offered to buy them out and then rent their home | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
back to them, they jumped at it. We were offered ?105,000 full stop they | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
would pay off the existing mortgage, and any debts we had, and we would | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
get a lump sum. I thought selling the house to re`rent it would give | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
us financial footing by paying off the debts. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
They lived here in Newcastle. His ex`wife still does. They say they | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
didn't know the company that bought it had a mortgage which defaulted. | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
Eric's ex`wife lives with the threat of repossession full stop next week | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the Supreme Court will hear what could be a landmark case involving | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
people like Eric. The lawyers will essentially argue the banks lent the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
money to the property buyers who took on the homes, allegedly not | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
checking properly they had the means to pay back, so the lawyers will | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
argue why should the banks be allowed to repossess the homes when | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
it was their irresponsible lending practices which caused a problem? We | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
will not be caught to hold the banks responsible and to say they have to | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
bear some of the risk, when they have given mortgages to people who | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
have self declared their income and haven't done a proper checks. We | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
want the courts to find the banks need to bear that risk, but the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
people who have entered into the agreements. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Appoint the banks will be grisly contest. They have already won this | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
case in the law courts. It could be argued people who choose to settle | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
their homes and rent them back had lost ultimate control of their fate, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
and must take the consequences. And that the banks loaned mortgages in | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
good faith. As for the tenants, if the test case is lost, potential | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
homelessness. Both me and my wife, ex`wife, we were together for 30 | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
years. It caused a rift within the family, it makes us feel very angry. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Peter Harris is with me now. Peter, do we know how many people are | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
affected by this? Potentially thousands, with | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
different landlords around the country, according to David Gray | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
Solicitors which are representing tenants. You sell your house to an | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Arnold, they say it is fine, they will rent it back, but what happens | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
if that Arnold has taken out a mortgage and a default, can the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
bank, long and repossess the house? You going to say I had a deal that I | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
could stay as long as I paid the rent. That is what the Supreme Court | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
as to decide. If the banks win then tenants renting back homes they once | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
owned face being thrown out. Three teenagers suffered serious | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
injuries in a two`car crash in North Yorkshire. It happened near the MoD | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
ranges at Bellerby near Leyburn yesterday. Three 17`year`old boys | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
from the Masham and Bedale areas were in one car. Two are in a | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
critical condition, the other is said to be stable. The driver of the | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
other car suffered minor injuries. The number of arrests in Operation | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Sanctuary, the investigation into the sexual exploitation of | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
vulnerable females, has now risen to 54. Northumbria Police have | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
identified approximately 80 vulnerable women and girls in the | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
Tyneside area. They've again urged the public to be vigilant and pass | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
on any information they think could help with enquiries. | :08:19. | :08:19. | |
MPs representing rural constituencies across our region are | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
calling for a more equal share of government funding. People living in | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
the countryside are likely to earn less, pay more in council tax and | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
get fewer local services. But the cost of delivering their services is | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
often higher because populations are spread over a large area. The Rural | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Fair Share campaign wants a better deal for the countryside. | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
Quite astonishing. We do get ?200 of ?300 less than people in urban | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
areas, that are a lot closer to all the services and schools, shops and | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
everything else they need. We live in the countryside, it is the way we | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
have been brought up, it is where we need to live, so we do need looking | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
after as much as the people that live in urban areas. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
And Sunday Politics will be speaking to Penrith and the Border MP Rory | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Stewart about that at 11am this Sunday on BBC One. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Time for another story in our series World War One at Home, in | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
partnership with Imperial War Museums. Earlier this week we saw | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
remnants of a massive explosives factory complex on the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Cumbria`Scotland border. And there are traces of the Great War all | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
around us, if you know where to look. Gerry Jackson found some | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
century`old coastal architecture that you might never even have | :09:43. | :09:52. | |
noticed. Lost in undergrowth and practically | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
forgotten for generations but there was a time when this concrete | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
carbuncle was very important indeed. There is brick in here, it is a | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
right jumble of materials, and they are all trading at different rates. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
`` eroding. It's called a sound mirror, in | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
effect a glorified 12 foot ear trumpet. It might look crude, but 20 | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
years before radar, that was cutting detection technology. And this was | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
the front line in our defence against an attack. The mirrors, like | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
this one at Sunderland looked out to sea. Listening for these. German | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Zeppelins began east coast bombing raids in 1915. A year later one bomb | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
killed 22 people on a Sunderland tram. And this was the one that | :10:35. | :10:47. | |
brought it home, they could come in and he us in our own backyard. It is | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
a huge part of what Sunderland is and how Sunderland was affected by | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
the First World War. The operation of these was top | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
secret but it was hoped an observer stationed here would get a few vital | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
extra minutes warning of a distant Zeppelin's approach, a warning he | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
could pass to nearby gun batteries. They are part of the whole of our | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
background, war memorials, all of these things are all together, they | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
are all part of a shared experience. And then itself tells you how we | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
defended our land. On the edge of a modern Redcar | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
housing estate sits another acoustic mirror. A local farmer used to pile | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
manure up against it. Now Bryan has become its neighbourly custodian. It | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
is just part of my everyday life. People come in cars, take | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
photographs, people knock on the door and ask about it. There are | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
certain things that yes, they have got to be. | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Tucked behind Tynemouth's Grand Parade stands another sentinel on | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
guard not against threats from the air but from the sea. After | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
Hartlepool, Scarborough, and Whitby were bombarded by the German Navy in | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
1914, this six`storey tower was commissioned to help prevent any | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
repeat. It's now Nick's home. When I first saw it was the building | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
down the street that I thought was unusual. When I moved in and started | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
to find out more about it and peel some of the history, it is amazing. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
There were no guns up here, but range finding telescopes that could | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
pinpoint a distant target and alert gun emplacements north and south. If | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
In the end it was never used in anger, but for the locals it would | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
have been reassuring, a statement of intent. It was genuinely about | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
defence, keeping foreigners out of our country, and therefore it makes | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
it even more important to retain the memories and the buildings such as | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
this. The Sunderland Sound Mirror is being | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
restored. Finally visitors to it will be welcomed. These relics of | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
the Great War might look incongruous today, but they are a reminder that | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
the whole nation had a part in this war and there are many today, | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
determined to preserve this heritage. It shows you what lengths | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
they went to do defend the coast and how important that risk was posed | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
and why they put them up. It is a good memorial to all the people who | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
took part in the war and shows them there was reason to fight and it was | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
expensive in money and people. And for more on the impact the war | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
had on where you live go to bbc.co.uk/ww1 and follow the links | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
to find more World War One At Home stories in our region. Not long to | :13:52. | :14:04. | |
go until the big match on Sunday. Thousands of people are preparing to | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
leave Sunderland for the Capital one Cup Final at Wembley. People are | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
looking forward to Sunday. We are all off to Wembley. We are making a | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
weekend of it. I am just getting my scar. What is the atmosphere I can | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Sunderland? Brilliant, the whole city has lifted. The official shop | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
is relieved a much`needed delivery has turned up, even if it is from | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Dave, a die`hard Man City supporter. These are not my friends, they are | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
my am happy for them. Absolutely buzzing. They are buying anything | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
and everything, replica, flax, everything. It is causing trouble | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
for some families. My daughter has got tickets, my wife and my youngest | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
daughter, her rating for Sunday, I will not be there. I will be getting | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
a bus at 5:30am from Durham. Things a bit tense in your house? You could | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
say that, you are not allowed to mention the word Wembley. It is not | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
often you get to where your team 's football could to school all day. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Joseph is in a difficult situation, his parents support Sunderland hit, | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
his loyalty is divided. I support both teams, my mum came up with the | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
idea of making a half and half. On Sunday who do you want to win? | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Manchester City. Whatever happens people of all generations will | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
remember this match for years to come. | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
You are going down there as well? Yes. He will be inside, I will be | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
outside with the fans bringing you everything you need to know full | :16:07. | :16:18. | |
stop The waiting's almost over. Sunderland's first Wembley cup final | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
for 22 years is now just over 43 hours away. But can they really beat | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Manchester City and bring silverware back to Wearside for the first time | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
since those heady days of 1973? Few neutrals give Sunderland much | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
hope of beating Manchester City in Sunday's Capital One Cup Final. But | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
for the Black Cats central defender Wes Brown, back from a two`match | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
suspension City are the perfect opposition. As a man who already has | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
two League Cup winners' medals with Manchester neighbours United he's up | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
for the challenge. It is a big pitch, we will have to | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
play our best one to get a result. I'm sure anything can happen, as | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
long as we work hard and do what the manager is one we have got a great | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
chance. Sunderland have had three managers | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
during their Cup run which began with a late comeback in late August | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
at home to MK Dons. After Paulo di Canio was sacked, Kevin Ball | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
presided over the match against another League One side Peterborough | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
before Gus Poyet took charge and guided them to wins against three | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
Premier League sides to reach Wembley. Sometimes when you get to | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
these opportunities you have got to take it, you don't know when it is | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
coming next. That is the biggest challenge for us. And if Sunderland | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
fans want a good omen here it is from your side's last encounter with | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Man City. A Phil Bardsley strike giving the Black Cats their fourth | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
consecutive 1`0 home League win against them. Sunderland's final | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
could be pivotal in the Black Cats season. Win or lose a good | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
performance against Manchester City might just be the spring board for | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
success in the fight against relegation. Victory? Well legendary | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
status at the Stadium of Light awaits. If they do win, this man | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
will have to be on top form to keep out Man City's potent strike force. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
Mannone turns 26 on Sunday. I said to my family I did want | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
anything until after the game, because I am expecting one big | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
present, hopefully. I will have the best present I have ever had in my | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
life. Well it's now time to welcome | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
listeners from BBC Newcastle's weeknight radio show Total Sport | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
where we can find presenter Simon Pryde trying to keep order with an | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
ex`Sunderland captain, twice a runner`up at Wembley and a former | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
Newcastle defender. Is the temperature rising, Simon? | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
You can hear the excitement in the callers voices. Tentative optimism, | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
probably is the order of the day. If few 1`0 predictions. Jon Anderson, a | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
quiet night this evening, he doesn't approve of the red`and`white | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
decorations. And former Sunderland captain, played into cup finals full | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
stop he will be summarising the match on Sunday full stop Nick | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
Barnes, our Sunderland, later `` commentator. Can they translate | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
their form to Wembley? They can. They will have to have that little | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
element of luck. Every team needs that in a couple final full stop as | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
Gus Poyet has said, no red cards, no sooner states, no own goals, no back | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
passes. If all the 11 natty names on Sunday play to their potential, yes, | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
they have got to have a chance. You have played into London and's last | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
two cup finals. `` Sunderland. Big underdogs in 92 against Liverpool | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
but you held your own, goalless at half`time, you lost 2`0 at the end. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
That is what Sunderland have to do, make sure they are in the game at | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
half`time. It is important they stay in the game, have that belief, and | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
when the opportunities do, long it is important they take them. They | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
are not going to get many opportunities. It is important we | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
start the game right, we do not concede an early goal. How the | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
nerves? My nerves? Building up. I would imagine the players tomorrow | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
night will not be able to sleep. It would be interesting to see what the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
starting 11 is going to be. We will have coverage on BBC | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Newcastle, the commentary begins at TPM. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
`` TPM. Plenty of league football going on | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
before then. Courtesy of the stoppage time | :20:26. | :20:42. | |
winner, there were no the ritzy at Hull but there is life in the season | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
yet. There were queries about whether we cared enough, the | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
celebration showed you how committed the players are. When you get beaten | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
sometimes it is difficult, especially with the points total we | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
have, it is an easy tank to put rounders. I don't think you can say | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
that if you are here every day and see the guys working. No worries we | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
will be fully committed. Hopefully get as many wins as we possibly can. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
All the best action and reaction from the KC Stadium, Wembley and the | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
matches involving our Football League clubs in Monday's Teamtalk. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
Full commentary on your local BBC radio stations. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
It's the last day of winter. And it's been the mildest for years, | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
after we were warned it might have been the worst for years. So we | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
should all be glad about that. Not all, our Chief Reporter Chris | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
Stewart has been to meet one man who's a bit fed up that he's not up | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
to his neck in snowdrifts. A typical winter scene, not really, | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
this was Carlisle today, all very well, unless you have got a load of | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
snow shovels still to shift. And sledges full stop according to the | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
papers some people are experiencing snow. And on, it is us. Let's meet | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
the man who took a picture. Paul Kingston has been serving the | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
national press for 12 years now, and his hit rate goes up as the | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
temperature goes down. Met Office records show in County Durham three | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
winters ago there were 43 snowy days and it went down 2`12. The following | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
winter, 24, and `8. Last winter, 53, and `10. This winter, for snowy | :22:28. | :22:36. | |
days, and `4. These icicles were in Teesdale last year. This man is a | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
farmer in Weardale. But we have had some snow. | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
We have had some but we have got to go a lot higher up to find them, in | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
a high Pennines around Allston, top of Teesdale. And the Lake District | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
fells full stop the bit of a slog. And one on the front page of the | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
express this morning. That was one where Dell yesterday. `` Weardale. | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
Northumberland county council made an initial order for 36,000 tonnes | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
of salt, and expected to make repeat orders, they have still got there | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
first with sitting there. Still a couple of months to go where | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
we can get frost, so we will use some of that. We will have a decent | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
stockpile that we cover up, store and use next winter. There was | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
winter, what a scorcher. I am nervous about this business of | :23:37. | :23:37. | |
tempting fate. Well, Hannah's here now to tell us | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
if there's going to be a touch of spring in the air. But there was a | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
bigger talking point than the weather last night for people who | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
were outdoors, wasn't there? We were trans `` treated to a | :23:48. | :23:58. | |
fantastic light show. The Northern lights were fantastically displayed. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
Let's have a look at some of your images. | :24:02. | :25:03. | |
If you go onto the Facebook page you will be able to see more of those | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
beautiful images, and you could possibly even download some. Will we | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
be able to see them tonight? Probably not. The solar storm is | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
subsiding, levels of activity are low. It will be the brightest on | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
Saturday, Sunday could be gloomy. This evening and overnight clear | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
skies. One of two showers. Stars in the sky for much of North Yorkshire | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
and the north`east are one or two showers over the fells could be | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
wintry. North Yorkshire, there will be some Mr building up. It is quite | :25:44. | :25:53. | |
cold, temperatures fall to freezing. Tomorrow, lots of sunshine to the | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
north`east and North Yorkshire, showery in the West. One of two | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
showers will move further east. For most parts it is a fine day with | :26:03. | :26:14. | |
some bright spells in Korea. Temperatures about the same as | :26:15. | :26:26. | |
today. It will feel quite pleasant. A few showers in North | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
Northumberland. Showers over the fells will be sleet or snow. Just | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
for higher levels. More rain splashes into the West Coast of | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
Cumbria tomorrow night. It will be more unsettled on Sunday. A ridge of | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
high pressure topples into after Saturday. Low`pressure displaces it | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
for Sunday, and into Monday and Tuesday. Spells of rain for Cumbria, | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
showers and some bright spells in the north`east. What does that mean | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
in detail. They and Monday? It could be gloomy on Sunday, right on Monday | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
full stop temperatures about six degrees. Very similar in Cumbria. | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
Likely to be cloudier and wetter on Sunday. What about the forecast for | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
the big game? Here it is our best guess for the football, the weather, | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
not the result, bright skies and it stays fine through the match. There | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
we have it. Lots of people interested in that, I | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
am getting full stop good luck to everybody travelling down to Wembley | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
this weekend full stop good night. And you can see | :27:34. | :27:34. |
