:00:00. > :00:12.Hello, and welcome to Thursday's so it's goodbye from me
:00:13. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to Thursday's Look North. Tonight: Three former
:00:16. > :00:19.soldiers are told they're to be released from an Indian jail.
:00:20. > :00:21.Hitachi moves its global rahl HQ to Britain ` will it mean more jobs for
:00:22. > :00:24.the North? A warning that foot and mouth
:00:25. > :00:28.disease could return if restrictions on the movement of livestock are
:00:29. > :00:31.relaxed. I fear foot and motth will come back. It's not if it comes
:00:32. > :00:35.back, it's when. Think before you drink. New measures
:00:36. > :00:40.to help student revellers stay safe when they're out on the town.
:00:41. > :00:44.And we meet the super`slimmdrs who lost ten stones ` just in thme for
:00:45. > :00:47.their 20th wedding annivers`ry. In sport, Alan Pardew warns his
:00:48. > :00:52.players about the dangers of betting after Dan Gosling's ?30,000 fine.
:00:53. > :00:56.And the County Durham boxer hoping to become the first member of the
:00:57. > :01:09.travelling community to lift a world title.
:01:10. > :01:14.Five months of heartache ` but today, a breakthrough, with the news
:01:15. > :01:18.that three former soldiers from our region are to be released from a
:01:19. > :01:21.jail in India. Along with three other men, Nick Dunn from Ashington,
:01:22. > :01:26.John Armstrong from Wigton, and Nicholas Simpson from Catterick
:01:27. > :01:28.were working as anti`piracy guards. They were arrested, accused of
:01:29. > :01:33.entering Indian waters illegally, and put into a prison their
:01:34. > :01:37.relatives say is "beyond sqtalid". Today, though, they were told they'd
:01:38. > :01:41.be bailed. Our chief reportdr, Chris Stewart, was with Mr Dunn's sister
:01:42. > :01:46.shortly after the news came through. Lisa Dunn ` doing something she d
:01:47. > :01:54.forgotten she could do ` smhle. Five months since you've done that.
:01:55. > :01:59.How does it feel? Amazing. @mazing. But we're not there yet. Thdre is
:02:00. > :02:02.still a long way to go. But at least it's going in the right
:02:03. > :02:05.direction. These pictures show the moment Nick Dunn and five others
:02:06. > :02:09.were arrested. Their ship, the Seaman Guard Ohio, was impotnded `
:02:10. > :02:14.and they were charged with hllegally entering Indian waters and hllegally
:02:15. > :02:17.carrying firearms. Nick Dunn is a former para ` the others too all
:02:18. > :02:25.former soldiers working for an American security company. The
:02:26. > :02:29.announcement they'll be bailed came just two days after relativds of the
:02:30. > :02:32.men descended on Downing Street with a petition calling on the Government
:02:33. > :02:36.to do more to secure their release. It now looks more than likely that
:02:37. > :02:40.within a week, the men will be out of a prison Lisa says is horrific.
:02:41. > :02:44.Bail means at least he'll bd out of there, if still in India. Hd'll have
:02:45. > :02:53.a little bit of freedom. He'll be able to sleep in a bed. He'll be
:02:54. > :03:00.able to have a decent wash. It's so important that they get out of there
:03:01. > :03:02.as soon as possible. But thdre've been setbacks before ` so the smile
:03:03. > :03:16.isn't yet permanent. Is Japanese investment in otr region
:03:17. > :03:19.going to be stronger than wd thought ` with the prospect of even more
:03:20. > :03:24.jobs? Hitachi has revealed ht's moving the headquarters of hts
:03:25. > :03:27.global rail business to Britain The firm's already building a plant at
:03:28. > :03:30.Newton Aycliffe in County Dtrham. It won a multi`billion pound contract
:03:31. > :03:34.last year to build new intercity trains there. Our political
:03:35. > :03:39.correspondent, Mark Denten, joins us now from Newton Aycliffe. M`rk ` the
:03:40. > :03:49.HQ will be in London. What light that mean for us here in thd North?
:03:50. > :03:55.We are on a dead industrial state tonight, but this could be the site
:03:56. > :04:01.of the industrial future, bdcause down there, the pictures of trains
:04:02. > :04:09.will become a reality in a few years. They are building th`t ? 2
:04:10. > :04:14.million training, and 700 jobs will be here in Newton Aycliffe `t the
:04:15. > :04:20.end of that line. They will not answer to bosses in Tokyo, but
:04:21. > :04:26.bosses in London, because the global HQ of Hitachi will be in thd UK
:04:27. > :04:31.Last year's Hitachi announcdment was a massive vote of confidencd in the
:04:32. > :04:34.region. Now, even before it's been built, that confidence has gone up a
:04:35. > :04:38.notch. Trains already on thd order books will be made here to run on
:04:39. > :04:44.the East Coast mainline. Th`t contract alone means the pl`nt will
:04:45. > :04:51.employ 750 people. The local MP says today's news could ` should ` mean
:04:52. > :04:58.even more to come. Now it's a global business based in Newton Aycliffe.
:04:59. > :05:03.It's not just a UK company with European aspirations for selling
:05:04. > :05:07.trains to Europe, but now a global operation. It gives the cap`city to
:05:08. > :05:15.go out and look for those contracts. It means more jobs. To
:05:16. > :05:20.government eyes, ministers see a second foreign train builder making
:05:21. > :05:26.a commitment like this as evidence this is a credible place to invest
:05:27. > :05:30.in a recovering economy. Lots of trains are required, and Brhtain is
:05:31. > :05:34.a good base for manufacturing over the world. The lessons they've
:05:35. > :05:40.learned from this then, who have done very well here, is that Britain
:05:41. > :05:44.is a good place to be. Like Nissan, it isn't just about the finhshed
:05:45. > :05:49.product. The supply chain whll make many more jobs, down to the nuts and
:05:50. > :05:55.bolts. A local company has been given this steel contract, so the
:05:56. > :06:02.company itself will be bought with steel. Hitachi is likely to be a
:06:03. > :06:12.contender to make trains for the HS2 project, and being more British will
:06:13. > :06:15.do it more `` no more harm. They will put more emphasis on this
:06:16. > :06:17.particular planned, and the real importance of using this as a
:06:18. > :06:24.manufacturing base for the whole of Europe. Building trains is ` slow
:06:25. > :06:27.and expensive business, but it means investment has to be long`tdrm.
:06:28. > :06:38.Hitachi has signalled they `re here for the long haul. Hitachi says we
:06:39. > :06:48.should not expect to see lots of people shifting from downtown Tokyo
:06:49. > :06:50.to Uptown Newton Aycliffe. Ht is not cleared the number of addithonal
:06:51. > :06:53.workers who will come to thd north`east, but one important thing
:06:54. > :06:59.tonight is Hitachi have said they want to have the heart of their
:07:00. > :07:03.global rail business in the UK, and a key part of that will be the
:07:04. > :07:11.products in the coming years from here. Sounds good.
:07:12. > :07:14.Peter Lawrence, the father of missing York University chef Claudia
:07:15. > :07:16.Lawrence, says it would havd been more helpful if dramatic, ndw
:07:17. > :07:20.information revealed on the BBC Crimewatch programme last nhght had
:07:21. > :07:23.been known five years ago ` when his daughter vanished. But he s`ys he
:07:24. > :07:26.has fresh hope detectives whll find answers following this latest appeal
:07:27. > :07:30.for help. John Cundy reports. This could be hugely signifhcant.
:07:31. > :07:32.This is from a witness who said on the morning of Claudia's
:07:33. > :07:36.disappearance at 6:45 in thd morning, he saw a male described as
:07:37. > :07:38.55 to 65, with grey hair, knee`length, and was wearing a
:07:39. > :07:45.three`quarter length sandy`coloured mac. It is important to trace the
:07:46. > :07:47.man. The dramatic statement on BBC's Crimewatch programme by the man
:07:48. > :07:51.leading investigations into missing Claudia Lawrence, and there are
:07:52. > :07:58.appeals now to trace a man who was seen to have been let into her house
:07:59. > :08:00.the morning before she vanished Information is also being sought
:08:01. > :08:08.about two vehicles, one in particular. These vehicles were
:08:09. > :08:12.picked up on CCTV on the ro`d where Claudia lives. It was at 5:42 in the
:08:13. > :08:16.morning. She would have been walking to work. That vehicle is believed to
:08:17. > :08:22.be a light hatchback, and it breaks unexpectedly, we think near to her
:08:23. > :08:26.house. We want to know why that vehicle did brake, who was hn it,
:08:27. > :08:29.and did it stop to give her a lift to work. Is it something
:08:30. > :08:32.significant? Claudia's fathdr, Peter, watched last night's
:08:33. > :08:36.revelations, and he has his criticisms. I hope it will jog
:08:37. > :08:41.someone's memory, but it's ` pity we weren't seeing it five years ago. If
:08:42. > :08:48.any of this results in someone coming forward with any tinx bit of
:08:49. > :08:51.information, it must give us hope. I feel that they have been so thorough
:08:52. > :08:57.that they are going to make progress, and that's what the family
:08:58. > :09:03.need. It is critical to the family? It is. It is affecting the family.
:09:04. > :09:06.Detectives have reported a good public response so far to their
:09:07. > :09:15.appeals for help over the mxsterious case of Claudia Lawrence.
:09:16. > :09:19.Two coach firm bosses have been jailed after importing ?3 mhllion
:09:20. > :09:23.worth of heroin on a bus trhp from Europe. Brothers Glen and G`ry
:09:24. > :09:26.Wheatley, who ran the G and G Travel firm in Hetton, near Sunderland hid
:09:27. > :09:31.12 kilos of heroin in a chalber built into one of their coaches It
:09:32. > :09:35.was found by customs when G`ry Wheatley was bringing a bus full of
:09:36. > :09:39.passengers into Dover. He w`s jailed for six years by Newcastle Crown
:09:40. > :09:45.Court. Glen Wheatley was jahled for 12.5 years.
:09:46. > :09:48.It's "only a matter of time" before foot and mouth disease returns to
:09:49. > :09:51.Britain. That's the view of one Cumbrian farmer, as the Govdrnment
:09:52. > :09:54.announces it's to lift movelent restrictions brought in aftdr the
:09:55. > :09:57.devastating outbreak of 2000. Although some farmers and
:09:58. > :10:00.politicians say abolishing the so`called "six`day rule" is the
:10:01. > :10:04.right thing to do, others aren't so sure ` especially in Cumbri`, the
:10:05. > :10:09.county worst hit by the disdase Mark McAlindon reports.
:10:10. > :10:13.In 2001, foot and mouth was discovered on Les Armstrong's farm
:10:14. > :10:17.in Cumbria's Eden Valley. Lhke thousands of others, he watched and
:10:18. > :10:21.wept as his herd ` his life's work ` was destroyed. We should never
:10:22. > :10:25.forget what happened, and wd should always be in a position to know
:10:26. > :10:29.exactly what to do in futurd if it were to come back again, but no we
:10:30. > :10:34.don't think about it now. Wd've moved on. But 13 years on, he says
:10:35. > :10:39.it's time the six`day rule ` which means no animal can be taken off the
:10:40. > :10:43.farm in that time once new ones have arrived ` was lifted. It was brought
:10:44. > :10:46.in on the back of foot and louth because they had to be more
:10:47. > :10:52.disciplined. That's why it was brought in. The arguments are
:10:53. > :10:55.different now. Now it's mord important to know where cattle have
:10:56. > :11:01.been rather than how long they've been on the farm. But not mtch more
:11:02. > :11:04.than 20 miles away, across country where pyres once burned and farms
:11:05. > :11:08.diagnosed with the disease fell like dominoes, there are others who
:11:09. > :11:12.aren't convinced. Mother hasn't got enough milk at the moment. Susan
:11:13. > :11:17.Aglionby lost her animals too in the dark days of 2001. I walked across
:11:18. > :11:22.the fields here and I saw btrning all around. I woke up one morning,
:11:23. > :11:28.knew we got the disease, and it s a day I will never ever forget in my
:11:29. > :11:34.life. For Susan, even now, vigilance is all. I fear foot and mouth will
:11:35. > :11:40.come back. It's not a matter of if, it's when it comes back. Thdre will
:11:41. > :11:44.be other diseases out there as well, and anything we can do in a very
:11:45. > :11:50.basic way to control infecthon is very, very important. This hs an
:11:51. > :11:55.argument not about ends but about means. For some, the memorids of
:11:56. > :11:57.2001 are still raw and painful. But others clearly believe some
:11:58. > :12:00.restrictions can be safely removed because farming is very different
:12:01. > :12:05.now, 13 years on from the devastating outbreak. Others say in
:12:06. > :12:14.their view, sensible precautions must remain.
:12:15. > :12:18.Mark is here now. So, Mark, is there a real prospect
:12:19. > :12:22.of foot and mouth returning to Cumbrian farms? I think everyone
:12:23. > :12:26.agrees there is always the possibility. You can't be too
:12:27. > :12:37.careful. The DCs has not bedn eradicated. `` the disease. Liz says
:12:38. > :12:42.getting rid of the six`day rule won't lead to the return of foot and
:12:43. > :12:45.mouth disease. He says the key now is knowing where animals have been
:12:46. > :12:54.all stop we have electronic data to track movement. The real concern in
:12:55. > :13:04.the farming community is new diseases. Susan also said continued
:13:05. > :13:11.reassurance to keep farms f`rming is the key. TEASE Still to comd ` Dawn
:13:12. > :13:13.Thewlis joins me for Thursd`y's sports news.
:13:14. > :13:18.Plus a real slimline tonic ` the couple who shed ten stones `nd won a
:13:19. > :13:24.national award for their efforts. It is almost the weekend. I will be
:13:25. > :13:28.here with a full forecast. Just how CAN York and its rhvers be
:13:29. > :13:31.made safer? That's the question an urgent summit meeting of police
:13:32. > :13:34.councillors and student leaders will be trying to answer next wedk. It
:13:35. > :13:37.follows the recent disappearance of Ben Clarkson, and the death of
:13:38. > :13:41.student Megan Roberts ` whose body was found in the River Ouse. It s
:13:42. > :13:44.hoped new measures will redtce casualties and help those who've had
:13:45. > :13:48.too much to drink. Phil Connell spent last night with young
:13:49. > :13:52.revellers on the streets of York, and has compiled tonight's Look
:13:53. > :13:56.North report. It's a Wednesday night in York, and
:13:57. > :14:00.the city's students are out in force. In certain venues, it is an
:14:01. > :14:03.official student night, meaning drink prices are cheaper, and many
:14:04. > :14:14.students are willing to takd advantage. It's really easy. You can
:14:15. > :14:19.come out with a lot, really solid. What does that mean? Get drtnk. In
:14:20. > :14:22.recent weeks, the disappear`nces of Ben Clarkson and the death of
:14:23. > :14:27.student Megan Roberts has r`ised concerns about safety. Megan's body
:14:28. > :14:30.was recovered from the River Ouse. On the night she disappeared, it was
:14:31. > :14:36.believed she had been drinkhng heavily. But York say in an A
:14:37. > :14:41.department, those coming in with drink`related problems were aged
:14:42. > :14:46.between 15 and 81. For thosd treated, 16% had been affected by
:14:47. > :14:53.alcohol. And during freshers week, 40% of those were students. Tonight,
:14:54. > :14:57.it is quiet, although staff are well aware of the problems alcohol can
:14:58. > :15:03.bring. I've had a set of shoes weed on by one individual who was too
:15:04. > :15:07.drunk to know what he was doing As an A consultant, what would you
:15:08. > :15:10.like to see happen? Maybe in the areas where it is more common for
:15:11. > :15:18.people to come acropper, thdre may be something needed to reduce the
:15:19. > :15:22.likelihood someone will fall in So what can be done to make York and
:15:23. > :15:25.its rivers safer? Next week, an urgent meeting is being held with
:15:26. > :15:30.police, the council and student leaders. The scheme that is being
:15:31. > :15:37.pioneered in Newcastle is one idea that could soon be implemented here.
:15:38. > :15:39.The scheme, operated by Northumbria Police, aims at prevention, with
:15:40. > :15:46.doormen being trained to spot and help vulnerable young peopld. It is
:15:47. > :15:52.a scheme which North Yorkshhre's commissioner thinks will also work
:15:53. > :15:55.in York. It's not just lookhng at what's going on in York at the
:15:56. > :15:59.moment, but also looking wider and saying, "What can we learn from
:16:00. > :16:02.elsewhere to bring in new things that might try to prevent some of
:16:03. > :16:05.these problems from happening in the first instance?" In America, the
:16:06. > :16:10.problem is being tackled by so`called "drunk tanks", a place to
:16:11. > :16:14.house people until they sobdr up. In the next few weeks, York will have
:16:15. > :16:17.its own version of the drunk tank. Officials prefer to call it "the
:16:18. > :16:20.community medical unit" ` a place that will offer free help and
:16:21. > :16:27.support for people who have been injured or have one too manx drinks.
:16:28. > :16:32.There is the awkward middle ground, as we call it, where people are too
:16:33. > :16:35.drunk to get a taxi because the driver won't take them, but not bad
:16:36. > :16:38.enough to merit an ambulancd, because those services are stretched
:16:39. > :16:43.as it is. The real proof of action is going to be when things `re set
:16:44. > :16:46.up. I hope the media will still do interviews come September and
:16:47. > :16:49.October to see if people have been true to their word. With two people
:16:50. > :16:53.drowning in York's rivers e`ch year, it is still seen as a relathvely
:16:54. > :17:02.safe city. It's hoped over the coming weeks, new ideas and
:17:03. > :17:06.investment can make it even safer. Now, they're a super slimming couple
:17:07. > :17:09.from Sunderland ` and they've lost more than ten stones between them to
:17:10. > :17:13.lift a national slimming title just in time for their 20th weddhng
:17:14. > :17:20.anniversary. This is Graeme and Lisa Wharton on their wedding dax. And
:17:21. > :17:24.this is them today. Fantasthc. Lisa's dropped from 15 stonds and
:17:25. > :17:29.6.5 pounds to ten stones and 8. pounds, making her four stones and
:17:30. > :17:31.12 pounds lighter. And she's gone from dress size 18`20 to 12.
:17:32. > :17:36.Graeme's dropped from 19 stones and ten pounds to 14 stones and four
:17:37. > :17:40.pounds. So he's lost five stones and six pounds, and his waist h`s
:17:41. > :17:43.slimmed from 48 inches to 34. That's a combined weight loss of tdn stones
:17:44. > :17:46.and four pounds ` and they've been crowned Slimming World's Cotple of
:17:47. > :17:57.the Year. Our reporter Stephanie Cleasby's with them now.
:17:58. > :18:01.Yes, Graham and Lisa are both as light as they have ever been,
:18:02. > :18:06.because they've swapped a dhet of chocolate and crisps for
:18:07. > :18:10.alternatives and exercise. Let's find out what they are cookhng in
:18:11. > :18:18.the kitchen. Something hope `` healthy, I hope. Big bowls of
:18:19. > :18:23.tomato, mushroom and pasta sauce. How does this compare to wh`t you
:18:24. > :18:26.would eat a year or two ago? We would normally get something out of
:18:27. > :18:32.the freezer, put it in the microwave. So you are healthy and
:18:33. > :18:37.now? You have lost over ten strains between you. What is the secret to
:18:38. > :18:48.your success? It is joining together. I'm a taxi driver, and the
:18:49. > :18:57.fast food around the taxi r`nks was a problem. We do it together. If I'm
:18:58. > :19:03.in from work first, I will cook tea. If it's the other way around, we
:19:04. > :19:09.will do the opposite. Do yot feel better? Totally different. We are
:19:10. > :19:21.doing the ten kilometres, the Great North Road. Exercise is a bhg thing.
:19:22. > :19:24.I do boot camps. I really enjoy it. Doing the weight`loss classds as a
:19:25. > :19:31.couple, does that mean you've had a lot of support from each other, or
:19:32. > :19:36.is their competition? A bit of both. But the group are supportivd. Wendy
:19:37. > :19:42.is a fantastic consultant. Ht makes a big difference. As a blokd, it is
:19:43. > :19:46.intimidating walking through the door. As well as being couple of the
:19:47. > :19:55.year, you were celebrating 20 years together. A long time. A very long
:19:56. > :20:00.time. Training for the great North run, so you are now focused on
:20:01. > :20:09.staying healthy? Absolutely. We are committed now. A fit future?
:20:10. > :20:13.Exactly. Thank you for talkhng to us. They are focused on leading a
:20:14. > :20:18.happy and healthy life, and beating you in the great North run. I'm sure
:20:19. > :20:22.they will. Thank you very much.
:20:23. > :20:25.Forty pupils from Teesside High School set themselves the t`rget of
:20:26. > :20:28.swimming the length of the Dnglish Channel today. Former British Record
:20:29. > :20:32.Holder ` Daniel Johnson ` w`s there to give them support. They lanaged
:20:33. > :20:35.to do so many lengths, they covered the distance to France and back
:20:36. > :20:39.again! They swam up and down the pool almost 3000 times ` all in aid
:20:40. > :20:43.of BBC Sport Relief. If kids can get in, it's a great
:20:44. > :20:51.sport to be in. How many laps have you swum? 96. Tired? Yeah. How did
:20:52. > :20:59.you feel when you finished? Quite proud of myself. 56 lengths? Yes.
:21:00. > :21:05.Feel tired? No. Why not? I've been swimming since I was four. Well the
:21:06. > :21:09.big Sport Relief day is tomorrow, and a whole range of stunts and
:21:10. > :21:12.events are planned across the North. One of the more unusual ways of
:21:13. > :21:15.raising money involves the BBC Tees Breakfast Show presenter, formerly
:21:16. > :21:17.known as Alistair Brownlee. The station's Middlesbrough Football
:21:18. > :21:20.Club commentator has offici`lly changed his name to "Up the Boro"
:21:21. > :21:22.Brownlee by deed`poll. The name`change was given the official
:21:23. > :21:26.seal of approval by Middlesbrough Head Coach Aitor Karanka, who was on
:21:27. > :21:38.hand to witness the signing of the documents. I wonder if he knows what
:21:39. > :21:43.that is about. What else is in sport?
:21:44. > :21:46.It'll be the first time two boxers from the North East have fotght each
:21:47. > :21:49.other for an officially recognised world title. Reigning champhon,
:21:50. > :21:52.Darlington's Stuie Hall, will make his first defence of the IBF
:21:53. > :21:55.Bantamweight belt he won just before Christmas against another County
:21:56. > :21:58.Durham fighter hoping to wrhte his own name into boxing folklore. Mark
:21:59. > :22:01.Tulip's been to meet him. Just turned 26, Martin Ward, who
:22:02. > :22:05.lives near Durham, says he's in the prime of his life. He's also bidding
:22:06. > :22:09.to become the first member of the travelling community to lift a world
:22:10. > :22:14.boxing title, which he says he would parade at the Appleby Horse Fair
:22:15. > :22:21.this summer. To be a world champion is massive, but it will be ` big
:22:22. > :22:31.buzz for me and the family, because it means a lot. Most travellers do
:22:32. > :22:36.have a goal, and I have a shot at the boxing, so there is big
:22:37. > :22:39.interest. I think there will be plenty of interest there. Lhke the
:22:40. > :22:43.champion Stuie Hall, whom hd used to spar with, Martin has found himself
:22:44. > :22:47.at the front of the long qudue to get his big chance much quicker than
:22:48. > :22:55.expected. I've been lucky to jump the queue and get a shot. Stewie was
:22:56. > :23:00.lucky to get in and take thd shot, so now it is my turn. I havd the
:23:01. > :23:03.chance, so hopefully I can step in and take it. Experienced Hartlepool
:23:04. > :23:05.trainer Neil Fannan has brotght in a world`class sparring partner. South
:23:06. > :23:09.African Tshifhiwa Munyai, or Mr T, has beaten Lee Haskins ` thd former
:23:10. > :23:13.Commonwealth champion who inflicted rare defeats on both Martin and
:23:14. > :23:17.Stuie Hall. But ahead of thd big fight at the Newcastle Aren` a week
:23:18. > :23:26.on Saturday, what do the falily think? It's nonstop boxing hn my
:23:27. > :23:32.family. It's all we talk about. From the mini `` moment we get up in the
:23:33. > :23:35.morning, it is about who was fighting on the weekend, so it is
:23:36. > :23:44.nonstop talk about boxing. Sometimes it gets a bit much. We love boxing.
:23:45. > :23:51.I've been boxing since I was 11 years old. It is a big part of the
:23:52. > :23:54.family and for all of us. You wait so many years through new boxing
:23:55. > :24:02.champion and to come along `t once. It will be a host Eric fight. `` a
:24:03. > :24:04.historic fight. Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher
:24:05. > :24:07.will miss Saturday's relegation six`pointer at Norwich. Fletcher
:24:08. > :24:10.twisted his ankle in last wdek's goalless draw with Crystal Palace,
:24:11. > :24:13.and the severity of the injtry won't be known until a scan next week
:24:14. > :24:17.Meanwhile, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has revealed that thd club
:24:18. > :24:19.will be taking no further action against midfielder Dan Goslhng, who
:24:20. > :24:22.was fined ?30,000 yesterday by the Football Association for brdaching
:24:23. > :24:25.betting rules. Gosling had `dmitted a misconduct charge after bdtting on
:24:26. > :24:28.the outcome of matches ` although they didn't include games involving
:24:29. > :24:32.Newcastle or Blackpool, where he was on loan earlier in the season.
:24:33. > :24:36.No, I think he's got his punishment, and I think it hurt. It's something
:24:37. > :24:39.I had to remind the squad about because it's important that we don't
:24:40. > :24:47.bet on Champion League games in any shape or form, whether it's an
:24:48. > :24:56.accumulated bet or whatever. It s irrelevant, and I made that clear to
:24:57. > :24:59.the squad, and it needed to happen. Time for the weather. It is turning
:25:00. > :25:12.a bit chilly. The spring equinox today ovdr the
:25:13. > :25:18.next few days. The days will become longer than the night. It whll be
:25:19. > :25:22.chillier tomorrow with showdrs and breeze. It is the wind that makes it
:25:23. > :25:29.feel cold. Overnight, showers are wintry over the tops of the North
:25:30. > :25:35.Pennines. The snow line tonhght around 400 metres, well over 10 0
:25:36. > :25:40.feet. No lying snow in towns, cities or villages. Overnight tonight,
:25:41. > :25:43.possibly a touch of frost. Temperatures falling to just a
:25:44. > :25:46.couple of degrees above fredzing. Through the morning, bright and
:25:47. > :25:48.breezy for most parts, and travellers from overnight h`ve
:25:49. > :25:54.cleared away. Three lunchtile and the afternoon, shall start to spread
:25:55. > :25:56.into the West, increasingly splashing their way from Culbria
:25:57. > :26:03.across North Yorkshire and the East. Let's take it to. The top
:26:04. > :26:08.temperature around nine Celsius Feeling colder because of that
:26:09. > :26:13.strong south`westerly wind. Up over 20 or 25 mph in the north`e`st and
:26:14. > :26:17.in Cumbria as well with gusts lasting a few seconds, posshbly
:26:18. > :26:20.stronger than this. Just seven Celsius on the Cumbrian coast.
:26:21. > :26:24.Feeling colder because of that strong wind chill. Let's take a look
:26:25. > :26:30.at the precious sequence. The big picture. Low pressure domin`ting the
:26:31. > :26:33.forecast, and another weathdr systems snaking across the TK
:26:34. > :26:39.through Saturday. It could bring more showers for Cumbria and cloud
:26:40. > :26:43.in the East. Then a ridge of high pressure will start to settle
:26:44. > :26:47.whether through Sunday, and into Monday. It will not last, though.
:26:48. > :26:53.Another pressure system will cross us on Tuesday and Wednesday, but
:26:54. > :26:58.beautifully sunny through Monday. The UK`based in golden sunshine It
:26:59. > :27:01.will feel springlike. Let's take a look at the detail over the
:27:02. > :27:05.weekend. In Cumbria, we are expecting heavy showers on Saturday.
:27:06. > :27:09.Some bright spells in betwedn the showers. Without breeze, fedling
:27:10. > :27:15.cold, and those showers oncd again over the tops will be wintrx. Sunday
:27:16. > :27:19.a brighter day. Bright spells and fewer showers where they do fall.
:27:20. > :27:24.They will be lighter as well. Cloudy on Saturday. Sunday probablx the
:27:25. > :27:27.best day of the two over thd weekend, and then Monday looks
:27:28. > :27:33.glorious. Long spells of spring sunshine.
:27:34. > :27:39.That's not too bad. I was worried there for a moment. I should have
:27:40. > :27:40.pruned my roses. That's the gardening over. See you tomorrow.
:27:41. > :27:46.Goodbye.
