:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, welcome to Look North. In the programme tonight: We're so sorry.
:00:08. > :00:10.Apologies from the Leeds chhldren's heart unit to parents of seriously
:00:11. > :00:17.ill children ` including those who wanted them sent to Newcastle for
:00:18. > :00:20.treatment. A new way to tackle flooding ` move the river that's the
:00:21. > :00:24.cause of the problem. We're still here. The village that fears it s
:00:25. > :00:28.off the map, and losing precious business, because of long`tdrm
:00:29. > :00:32.roadworks. We're celebrating the 250th anniversary of the man at the
:00:33. > :00:36.top of this landmark, but there were more shades to Earl Grey th`n you
:00:37. > :00:39.might realise. And space calling Cockermouth ` the spectacul`r
:00:40. > :00:46.pictures captured from the very edge of the atmosphere by pupils in
:00:47. > :00:50.Cumbria. In sport, he feared the sack ` now Alan Pardew tells us how
:00:51. > :00:53.he plans to cope with his football stadium ban. And fearing thd drop `
:00:54. > :00:54.how defeat by the FA Cup semi`finalists has given struggling
:00:55. > :01:10.Carlisle the blues. The children's heart surgerx unit in
:01:11. > :01:15.Leeds has been criticised for treating some families poorly. In
:01:16. > :01:18.fact, a year`long NHS investigation says it treated them with "` tragic
:01:19. > :01:24.lack of communication, comp`ssion and, sometimes, basic kindndss"
:01:25. > :01:27.Some of those families had wanted their children transferred to the
:01:28. > :01:30.heart unit at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. Both, of course, `re
:01:31. > :01:34.involved in a review of children's heart units around the country ` and
:01:35. > :01:37.Leeds had been targeted for closure. Well our health reporter Sh`ron
:01:38. > :01:42.Babour joins me now in the studio. Sharon ` tell us about the report
:01:43. > :01:47.today. Well the report affects the whole region. We have familhes in
:01:48. > :01:52.North Yorkshire who use the Leeds unit and the Freeman take rdferrals
:01:53. > :01:57.from across the country. A plan to close some centres has seen a battle
:01:58. > :02:02.between Newcastle and Leeds hospitals last year we learned
:02:03. > :02:08.charities had concerns about the Leeds heart unit. Later it was
:02:09. > :02:11.closed and an investigation launched. Three things were
:02:12. > :02:15.investigated, mortality ratds, referrals to other hospitals and
:02:16. > :02:20.family complaints. We learndd two aspects, with mortality, we learned
:02:21. > :02:25.the unit is safe, although there are recommendation. For families, we
:02:26. > :02:28.learn some have been badly treated. Serious problems have been found
:02:29. > :02:34.regarding the care of 16 falilies. The stories are very harrowhng. And
:02:35. > :02:38.they experienced a lack of come passion, poor counselling and badly
:02:39. > :02:43.handled complaints. What have the families said? The once I h`ve
:02:44. > :02:48.spoken to say they're grateful for being listened to and what they say
:02:49. > :02:51.is a sincere apology from the niechers and `` NHS and the
:02:52. > :03:01.hospital. One of the parents spoke to us last year about her d`ughter
:03:02. > :03:05.Jessica. She felt that Leeds Hospital had lft it to late to
:03:06. > :03:11.transfer her daughter to Frdeman hospital. I was begging my
:03:12. > :03:14.consultant to let Jessica go. She had a stroke ten days later after
:03:15. > :03:20.arriving at the hospital, bdcause she was so sick and then nine days
:03:21. > :03:24.later she received a new he`rt. Between 27 days my daughter was on
:03:25. > :03:30.death's door and now I was being told by Leeds she could go `nother
:03:31. > :03:34.year and it was devastating. We heard from professor Sir Roger
:03:35. > :03:41.Boyle. Yes, he is the expert who said he would rather send Sdined his
:03:42. > :03:45.daughter to `` send his daughter to Newcastle than Leeds and was soon
:03:46. > :03:51.out of a job. He criticised political intervention and darlier
:03:52. > :03:57.he said the behaviour of sole of the MPs was disgraceful. We need to
:03:58. > :04:02.remember that families going through this kind of process are probably
:04:03. > :04:07.among the most distressed pdople that we have in our country. I hope
:04:08. > :04:14.that the MPs who were making such a fuss and competing to be thd MP
:04:15. > :04:18.locally in West Yorkshire that saved the Leeds heart unit read this
:04:19. > :04:22.report carefully. Some strong words there. What happens now? We are
:04:23. > :04:26.waiting on the third aspect of the report on referrals, includhng
:04:27. > :04:32.referring up to the Freeman Hospital and of course the whole revhew as to
:04:33. > :04:40.which unit stays open. We know that is delayed, so we should find out
:04:41. > :04:49.about this time next year. Thank you. More news now. Police trying to
:04:50. > :04:52.find the missing deputy head teacher, Mark Bushnell, say they're
:04:53. > :04:55.still searching ` although hopes of a positive outcome are fading. Mr
:04:56. > :04:59.Bushnell ` a married father of three, who works at Durham School `
:05:00. > :05:01.left home on Sunday morning. He drove to Blackhall Rocks ne`r
:05:02. > :05:05.Peterlee. Police say they'vd spoken to a number of people who s`w him or
:05:06. > :05:09.spoke to him there. Further searches are planned into the weekend,
:05:10. > :05:11.although they will be on a smaller scale. The Government's announced
:05:12. > :05:14.nearly ?29 million of funding for schools in the region. Schools in
:05:15. > :05:17.Northumberland will get over ?1 million, while those in North
:05:18. > :05:20.Yorkshire will receive more than ?7 million. Cumbria and County Durham
:05:21. > :05:23.schools will also be given dxtra money. But there's no funding
:05:24. > :05:25.increase for schools in Middlesbrough, where this wdek the
:05:26. > :05:32.schools inspectorate, OFSTED, criticised standards. The ftneral
:05:33. > :05:36.took place today of Megan Roberts, the York student whose body was
:05:37. > :05:40.found in the River Ouse earlier this month. Megan, who was 20, w`s a
:05:41. > :05:44.student at York St John University. Her family held a private ftneral in
:05:45. > :05:49.Harrogate. Megan had been mhssing for six weeks before she was found.
:05:50. > :05:54.Police say it's likely she fell into the river after a night out with
:05:55. > :05:56.friends. The search for solttions to flooding has become a priorhty
:05:57. > :06:00.nationwide. But a new plan to protect houses in Newcastle is more
:06:01. > :06:02.radical than most. The multh`million pound scheme would involve creating
:06:03. > :06:06.an entirely new channel for the Ouseburn to keep it away from homes
:06:07. > :06:12.in the Brunton Park area whhch was last flooded in 2012. Jonathan
:06:13. > :06:16.Swingler can tell us more. The Ouseburn has been calm todax, but
:06:17. > :06:19.when the rain comes, part of Newcastle have ended up likd this.
:06:20. > :06:24.So the plan to divert it and build walls is going to have a big impact.
:06:25. > :06:29.There is so much work going to be done I may have to move out of the
:06:30. > :06:33.house. So I mean I have a son living in Gosforth, it means he wotld get
:06:34. > :06:37.in touch. But it's a big ch`nge to have to move? Totally big change,
:06:38. > :06:40.especially at my age. So ye`h, I'm not looking forward to it at all,
:06:41. > :06:47.because they're going to ch`nge quite a bit in the garden and it's
:06:48. > :06:54.not very pleasant. It's not going to be cheap. All of this is costing
:06:55. > :06:58.?5.5 million. But at the end of the day they're changing the direction
:06:59. > :07:01.of this river and they're m`king big changes to the golf course too.
:07:02. > :07:05.Brian lives just yards from the water, but is also a keen golfer. I
:07:06. > :07:09.think the first priority for me is to protect my own home and ly
:07:10. > :07:12.family. But as a member of the golf club and having listened to the
:07:13. > :07:15.plans that were outlined very recently, I think it's a win`win
:07:16. > :07:19.situation for both parties. We're going to get a better golf course
:07:20. > :07:22.out of it and the local reshdents are going to have their homds
:07:23. > :07:26.protected. It's early days for all of this. We're going for pl`nning
:07:27. > :07:29.permission around May this xear So hopefully with everything going to
:07:30. > :07:32.plan and by July we should have planning permission and really start
:07:33. > :07:35.the works in earnest then. We are looking at 12 months worth of work,
:07:36. > :07:39.so into next year, similar time summer. And then around abott autumn
:07:40. > :07:43.time next year, most of the scheme should be finished. With sole work
:07:44. > :07:49.to follow on, maybe the sprhng the year after. The consultation is
:07:50. > :07:58.under way. Supporters of thd scheme say the hefty price tag will keep
:07:59. > :08:01.100 homes safe. We're still here! That's the message from villagers in
:08:02. > :08:05.North Yorkshire, who feel ctt off by repairs to the main route into their
:08:06. > :08:10.village. The work on the Richmond to Reeth road, in Swaledale will take
:08:11. > :08:13.12 weeks. Reeth will be at the heart of the Tour de France when ht comes
:08:14. > :08:16.to Yorkshire in July. North Yorkshire County Council has
:08:17. > :08:21.apologised for the roadworks ` but says they're "essential." Phil
:08:22. > :08:24.Chapman reports. When it coles to diversions there can't be m`ny as
:08:25. > :08:36.picturesque as this one over Grinton Moor. Which is why frustrathng
:08:37. > :08:40.business owners in and around Reeth want visitors to know they needn't
:08:41. > :08:43.turn back at the stop sign. What we're finding now is people are
:08:44. > :08:46.getting the impression throtgh the media, negative reports, th`t Reeth
:08:47. > :08:50.is cut off and isolated frol the sort of the rest of the world. It's
:08:51. > :08:54.not. There is a diversion in place. It takes you maybe 10 minutds
:08:55. > :08:57.longer. But on a day like today you have got the advantage that when
:08:58. > :09:00.you're coming into Reeth from the road down there, you have a
:09:01. > :09:04.spectacular view of Reeth and Swaledale. The road that thd actual
:09:05. > :09:08.diversion is going on is part of the route of the Tour de France. In
:09:09. > :09:11.fact, it's less than four months before the Tour will speed directly
:09:12. > :09:14.through the centre of Reeth after wending its way through the Dales,
:09:15. > :09:17.with thousands of people expected to descend on the village. The
:09:18. > :09:20.essential landslip works on the B6270 Richmond to Reeth road is
:09:21. > :09:21.expected to take another 11 weeks. In a statement, North Yorkshire
:09:22. > :09:37.County Council said: While the diversion is in place
:09:38. > :09:40.businesses don't want trade diverted as well. Among them Carolind still
:09:41. > :09:43.wants people to come for afternoon tea. It's gorgeous, it's absolutely
:09:44. > :09:46.beautiful, come and visit us. Peter still wants people to visit for
:09:47. > :09:50.ice`cream. The Dale is not closed for business, people can usd the two
:09:51. > :09:53.higher roads and in weather like this it's fantastic to travdl over
:09:54. > :10:00.those roads. The scenery is magnificent. So you would bd crazy
:10:01. > :10:04.not to come really. And Stu`rt still wants people to get on their bikes
:10:05. > :10:07.to get here and the diversion should even keep them extra fit. The road
:10:08. > :10:11.up from Richmond is the low level ride, so get a lot of cyclists come
:10:12. > :10:15.up from Richmond, Northallerton and round and about. But it's a bit
:10:16. > :10:20.frustrating. It's a small dhversion, you've got a bit of a hill climb to
:10:21. > :10:24.do to get back out of the D`le, but we're still open and the sun's
:10:25. > :10:28.shining, so it's still worth a trip. Well for anyone who thinks Reeth is
:10:29. > :10:31.isolated or cut off, they whll have to return in the summer when it
:10:32. > :10:34.becomes the centre of the cxcling universe, but long before then the
:10:35. > :10:38.business community here in this village and throughout the Dales
:10:39. > :10:46.want everyone to know they're very much open for business. Comhng up
:10:47. > :10:49.next: Some lesser known facts about one of our former Prime Minhsters.
:10:50. > :10:52.And the self`confessed couch potato who cleaned up her act so mtch,
:10:53. > :11:02.she's just been crowned "Brhtain's Strongest Woman". The strength of
:11:03. > :11:09.the high pressure is declinhng and it will be cloudier and bredzy, but
:11:10. > :11:13.generally dry. Join me later for the full forecast. He's one of our
:11:14. > :11:17.region's most famous political figures, and today marks thd 25 th
:11:18. > :11:24.anniversary of the birth of Charles Earl Grey. The statue of thd Earl `
:11:25. > :11:27.whose family seat was Howick Hall in Northumberland ` dominates the
:11:28. > :11:31.Newcastle skyline, of coursd. But do we really remember his achidvements?
:11:32. > :11:36.Peter Harris is live at Grex's Monument now, Peter. It took three
:11:37. > :11:42.years to build this monument, but when it was unveiled, Earl Grey
:11:43. > :11:47.didn't bother to turn up. So it begs the question why. Could it be he was
:11:48. > :11:54.getting old, or could it be that the country boy wasn't really all
:11:55. > :12:01.that... Either way it was a remarkable life. Prime Minister
:12:02. > :12:07.reformer, but who was the m`n standing sentry over Newcastle?
:12:08. > :12:16.There's one legacy we all know ` a brew created for the Earl bx a
:12:17. > :12:20.Chinese Mandarin. Well isn't he creator of Earl Grey tea, isn't that
:12:21. > :12:27.right? The tea, yeah. That's about it. His house was at Howick past
:12:28. > :12:31.Alnwick. Something to do with tea. Yet his real achievement was one 300
:12:32. > :12:38.miles away. The Great Reforl Act of 1832. Fighting off the Housd of
:12:39. > :12:42.Lords, a change that back then seemed significant. Immortalised
:12:43. > :12:45.with a monument. He engineered the first major overhaul of the system
:12:46. > :12:48.of voting and representation in British history and changing a
:12:49. > :12:51.system that had been around since the medieval period. The more
:12:52. > :12:55.negative view would be he w`sn't a radical, he wasn't a democr`t, he
:12:56. > :12:57.was an aristocrat, he was committed to maintaining the property
:12:58. > :13:04.franchise and only people whth property could have the right to
:13:05. > :13:07.vote. The abolition of slavdry in the Commonwealth was his as well.
:13:08. > :13:11.Privately though this was a country boy and it might be the long periods
:13:12. > :13:17.away in London saw him seek solace in women. His wife, Mary, h`s 1
:13:18. > :13:20.children, so inevitably she spent much her life being pregnant and
:13:21. > :13:26.while Grey was away in London and other places, he was chasing the
:13:27. > :13:32.women. Including the Duchess of Devonshire, to whom he had ` child.
:13:33. > :13:38.The child ending up being brought up by the Greys. The Duchess's story
:13:39. > :13:41.retold in a film with Keira Knightley. But back at the family
:13:42. > :13:45.seat, Howick Hall, such aff`irs wouldn't have been seen as tnusual
:13:46. > :13:48.for great men of the time. Not only did he have an affair with the
:13:49. > :13:51.Duchess of Devonshire, but there was also the Russian ambassador's wife,
:13:52. > :13:54.he had an affair with. That's reasonably well documented. And
:13:55. > :13:57.perhaps there were others. But you've to have a bit of historical
:13:58. > :14:01.imagination about this and say, well, that's what life was like in
:14:02. > :14:06.London then. And is it so dhfferent today? I'm not sure! He inshsted his
:14:07. > :14:09.children were educated at home in Northumberland and he sent them on a
:14:10. > :14:14.midnight walk to cure a fear of darkness. Telling them to phck a
:14:15. > :14:19.rare flower to prove they'd done it. And when he was buried here in 845,
:14:20. > :14:23.could he have known that for all the politics, the Prime Minister would
:14:24. > :14:34.be remembered for his tea? How terribly British! Although the tea
:14:35. > :14:39.takes his name, Earl Grey ndver took out a patent on it and that means
:14:40. > :14:45.the family never received a penny. Probably not his best decishon that!
:14:46. > :14:52.Back to you. Doesn't lund vrd sound like it. `` doesn't sound lhke it.
:14:53. > :14:55.Our region is well know for its strong women. But one formidable
:14:56. > :14:58.lady is celebrating after bding named the strongest in the country.
:14:59. > :15:01.Donna Moore, from Catterick in North Yorkshire, was a self`confessed
:15:02. > :15:05.couch potato when the doctor warned her to change her lifestyle. So she
:15:06. > :15:08.hit the gym ` and this month was crowned "Britain's Strongest Woman",
:15:09. > :15:11.after lifting the equivalent of two grown men above her head. H`nnah
:15:12. > :15:20.Bayman dropped in on a training session. Donna Moore at her gym in
:15:21. > :15:29.Topcliffe. The tyre she's flipping weighs as much as three adult women.
:15:30. > :15:32.It's great fun and empowering and nice to be with other peopld and to
:15:33. > :15:38.train and it is different from the regular exercise classes at the gym.
:15:39. > :15:41.To win the title of Britain's Strongest Woman, Donna liftdd this
:15:42. > :15:51.22 stone bar over her head repeatedly for 75 seconds. Faster. A
:15:52. > :15:55.lot of the events are multirepetitions for a time frame.
:15:56. > :16:00.That is where she excels. She has that endurance where she can keep
:16:01. > :16:08.pushing. She is strong for ` good period of time. Then there was the
:16:09. > :16:20.farmers sprint. The barrel walk and the excruciating Crucifix hold,
:16:21. > :16:27.among other ordeals. Keep breathing. Good stuff. Donna did this `mazing
:16:28. > :16:32.feat, lifting 195 kilos which is a good achievement, because the bar is
:16:33. > :16:37.the size of a soda can and the weight she lifted is the eqtivalent
:16:38. > :16:51.of four washing machines. So she did an amazing thing. My childrdn think
:16:52. > :16:54.it is awesome that their mul is strong. What will Donna lift next?
:16:55. > :17:01.She hopes it'll be the Strongest Woman in Europe title in July. Fancy
:17:02. > :17:07.that? Not really. I wouldn't like to lift you. You might struggld with
:17:08. > :17:10.Paul Mooney. Time for sport now and Newcastle Manager Alan Parddw's been
:17:11. > :17:13.talking publicly ` for the first time ` since his seven match ban
:17:14. > :17:17.from the FA for headbutting Hull City's David Meyler Dawn? Yds, It
:17:18. > :17:20.was his press conference ahdad of Saturday's Fulham game but `ll the
:17:21. > :17:23.questions were about his st`dium and touchline ban. He said he's written
:17:24. > :17:27.a letter of apology to Stevd Bruce and said sorry again to Davhd Meyler
:17:28. > :17:31.and the Newcastle fans for his behaviour. He was fined ?100,00 by
:17:32. > :17:36.the club on the day but was clearly worried he might have lost his job.
:17:37. > :17:41.Well of course it is a relidf, because you know when you h`ve made
:17:42. > :17:46.a mistake and men make mist`kes My mistake was in front of millions of
:17:47. > :17:49.people. But you have to pay a price and there was a hefty price to pay.
:17:50. > :18:01.Mike acted swiftly and I accepted that. In this interim period, since
:18:02. > :18:04.the incident, the backing I have had from the club in particular has been
:18:05. > :18:08.really a big help to me. Because obviously it's been difficult. At
:18:09. > :18:12.the time I didn't think it was as bad as it appeared on TV and I must
:18:13. > :18:15.have watched it 2,000 times. The situation was I should never have
:18:16. > :18:22.walked forward and got involved in that situation when he pushdd me.
:18:23. > :18:26.Well we know Pardew has been involved in several incidents in the
:18:27. > :18:30.past ` do you think he's le`rned anything this time? Well he's
:18:31. > :18:34.considering taking some kind of anger management course ` and his
:18:35. > :18:37.seven matches away from the cut and thrust might end up being
:18:38. > :18:41.beneficial. That will give le a period to get my head around it in
:18:42. > :18:46.terms of how I take the teal forward. Because one thing xou will
:18:47. > :18:49.never take out of me is my desire and hunger to win. And Newc`stle
:18:50. > :18:59.fans knows that is what drives me and drives the keep. `` That I will
:19:00. > :19:03.have to keep and channel it the right way. What I have to do is out
:19:04. > :19:06.of this situation become a better manager. I have had something like
:19:07. > :19:10.678 games, I've only had ond touch line ban before this one. Btt that
:19:11. > :19:14.doesn't mean to say what I did has any justification, so I spoke to the
:19:15. > :19:23.owner about make some managdment consultant issues I could look at
:19:24. > :19:27.that might help. Club On Saturday he'll be in the team hotel `nd will
:19:28. > :19:31.give the pre match teamtalk ` and as for communicating with his staff
:19:32. > :19:35.during the game ` it seems to be a bit of a grey area and he's probably
:19:36. > :19:40.just going to leave John Carver to get on with it. Actually whdn you're
:19:41. > :19:44.on the side of the pitch and you can see a bigger picture, I'm going to
:19:45. > :19:48.have the trust John's gut fdeling on how that game is evolving and he has
:19:49. > :19:51.worked with me long enough to know what I expect. At this time where
:19:52. > :19:55.I'm sitting here now I have more faith in John perhaps carryhng the
:19:56. > :19:59.flag for three games. I can deliver the game plan before they gdt on the
:20:00. > :20:06.bus before the Fulham game, which sometimes do in the changing room.
:20:07. > :20:10.The Sunderland head coach Gts Poyet has called on his first teal squad
:20:11. > :20:13.to produce one final push in the battle to preserve the club's
:20:14. > :20:17.Premier League status. He thinks five more wins from the last 12
:20:18. > :20:20.games will be enough. Poyet also says he's looking forward to working
:20:21. > :20:25.with the Wearsiders' new sporting director ` former Hamburg tdchnical
:20:26. > :20:28.director, Lee Congerton. I think the relationship between the sport
:20:29. > :20:31.director and the manager nedds to be spot on, if there is any
:20:32. > :20:37.misunderstanding or friction then the one that pays the price is the
:20:38. > :20:42.club and the fans. So I think it's important that he knows me the best
:20:43. > :20:51.that he can so he can bring me the best players I need to be a better
:20:52. > :20:54.football club. Carlisle rem`in in a precarious position, just one point
:20:55. > :20:58.and two places above the Le`gue One relegation zone after losing 1` to
:20:59. > :21:01.Sheffield United last night. The FA Cup semi finalists dominated for
:21:02. > :21:06.long spells and after half `n hour former Everton midfielder Jose
:21:07. > :21:10.Baxter drilled in a low shot. But The Blues keeper Jordan Pickford on
:21:11. > :21:14.loan from Sunderland was in good form ` he had to be as he w`s kept
:21:15. > :21:18.busy from the start forced hnto action from the first minutd of the
:21:19. > :21:21.game. Carlisle kept the pressure on in the last twenty minutes `nd David
:21:22. > :21:25.Amoo almost grabbed an equalizer but his header was cleared off the line.
:21:26. > :21:28.Graham Kavanagh's side now have to prepare for a six pointer against
:21:29. > :21:33.fellow strugglers Stevenage at Brunton Park on Saturday ` who're
:21:34. > :21:39.just a point behind them. Now ` to a young woman who is quite literally a
:21:40. > :21:43.real high`flier. We featured Caitlin Harm on Look North back in 2006 in
:21:44. > :21:46.our Sportskids series when she was having lessons at Northumbrha
:21:47. > :21:49.Gliding Club as a 12 year`old. Now 20, she's become one of the youngest
:21:50. > :21:52.female commercial pilots in the UK. Caitlin recently got back from
:21:53. > :21:55.training in Arizona where she got her Commercial Pilots Licence. She's
:21:56. > :22:05.now just fifty hours flight training away from realising her dre`m of
:22:06. > :22:09.becoming an airline pilot. Very close now. I'm a commercial pilot.
:22:10. > :22:14.If you wanted me to fly down from Newcastle to bgs ford where I am now
:22:15. > :22:19.and pay me to do that, I cotld technically do that. I would have
:22:20. > :22:25.loved to fly concord, but that has been grounded. Ideally strahght out
:22:26. > :22:31.of training I would love to fly a 737. People may think that hs not
:22:32. > :22:38.exciting, but I prefer to fly short haul. Well done. We know how to pick
:22:39. > :22:42.them. Now, some people are prepared to pay a fortune for a journey into
:22:43. > :22:46.space. Well tonight ` for nothing ` we can take you on an amazing trip,
:22:47. > :22:49.35,000 metres above our reghon, on a beautiful day. In last night's
:22:50. > :22:52.programme we told you about the Cockermouth school pupils sdnding a
:22:53. > :22:55.camera into the stratospherd, attached to a weather balloon. And
:22:56. > :23:06.this evening we have their pictures, all the way from the edge of space,
:23:07. > :23:11.` as Mark McAlindon reports. More than 100 miles from home thd camera
:23:12. > :23:17.was found in a North Yorkshhre field. It begun its journey hours
:23:18. > :23:23.earlier from this Cockermouth school. What it captured was
:23:24. > :23:27.stunning. We were gobsmacked and we were so lucky with the weather.
:23:28. > :23:32.There was no cloud cover and you can see the coastline and the mountains.
:23:33. > :23:39.It is beautiful. The camera enjoyed one of the most privileged sight
:23:40. > :23:43.seeing trips in the north. Ht reached 35 thousand metres before
:23:44. > :23:49.bursting under the pressure and for a moment causing some anxiety. When
:23:50. > :23:56.it burst, I started falling at 3 meeters a second and all of my group
:23:57. > :24:00.were saying everyone is going to kill us, it is not slowing down We
:24:01. > :24:04.were watching and slowly as the atmosphere thickened it started to
:24:05. > :24:09.slow down and so much relief and it lapped at the right `` land at the
:24:10. > :24:14.right speed and we thought everything would be intact `nd it
:24:15. > :24:21.worked. So after two years of being part of space race, can thex go one
:24:22. > :24:28.better next year zm? Last ydar was fantastic. Now they have eqtalled
:24:29. > :24:37.that and I don't know how you go one better. It is a fantastic rdsult.
:24:38. > :24:44.Fantastic. Well done to everyone involved. A lovely day for ht as
:24:45. > :24:50.well. Britain's strongest wdatherman by the way. I will see you later. A
:24:51. > :24:56.nice day, I have heard people mention the signs of spring they
:24:57. > :25:02.have mentioned. Some mentioned the local ice`cream van and herd is an
:25:03. > :25:10.ice`cream boat in York. Just the thing for a day like today. It
:25:11. > :25:17.wasn't hot and sunny every where. And in Cumbria, mist and fog
:25:18. > :25:23.persisted and staechlt struggled. Just `` temperatures struggled. Just
:25:24. > :25:29.six degrees. Now high presstre will sink to the south`west and we have
:25:30. > :25:34.north`westerly winds. Always on the the breezy and cloudy side. But
:25:35. > :25:38.still generally dry. It shotld be mostly dry tonight. There whll be
:25:39. > :25:43.mist and fog affecting parts of the region again. Some coastal fog in
:25:44. > :25:48.the west. One or two patches of fog inland further east as well. And
:25:49. > :25:52.they could be on the dense side as they have been. I don't think we
:25:53. > :25:58.will see as much frost. Most places no colder than about four Cdlsius.
:25:59. > :26:02.Tomorrow, that south`westerly breeze starts to pick up and the fog
:26:03. > :26:07.patches should lift. But thdy will be replaced by cloud and a
:26:08. > :26:11.stiffening south`west to westerly breeze. So more cloud and thick
:26:12. > :26:17.enough for some rain in the west. Eastern areas hang on to thd
:26:18. > :26:21.brighter skies. Some sunny spells in the afternoon. We should sed some
:26:22. > :26:25.decent temperatures, up to 04 Celsius in the east. But it may not
:26:26. > :26:31.feel as warm, because there will be more cloud and that breeze will pick
:26:32. > :26:35.up strongly in the arve. O'`` afternoon. Through the weekdnd a lot
:26:36. > :26:40.of cloud in the west. Day thme temperatures in double figures. So
:26:41. > :26:47.reasonably mild. If on the breezy side and we should stay frost`free
:26:48. > :26:51.in Cumbria. The north`east will stay frost`free as well. The clotd
:26:52. > :26:56.thinner to east of the Pennhnes It will be breezy. The best ch`nce of
:26:57. > :27:03.sunshine looks as if it will be on Sunday. Now if you're out and about
:27:04. > :27:13.we would love to see your M`rch weather pictures. Send them to the
:27:14. > :27:16.usual address. Thanks Paul. Now let's have a last look at tonight's
:27:17. > :27:19.headlines. A former News of the World journalist has claimed in
:27:20. > :27:22.court it was Princess Diana who leaked a confidential Royal phone
:27:23. > :27:25.book. And the Leeds children's heart surgery unit has apologised to
:27:26. > :27:31.parents of seriously ill chhldren, including those who wanted them sent
:27:32. > :27:43.to Newcastle for treatment. That is it for now. We will see you later.
:27:44. > :27:45.Bye`bye.
