:01:14. > :01:16.councils tonight after it sdcretly bought houses in leafy suburbs to
:01:17. > :01:18.turn into residential homes for troubled children. The vendors were
:01:19. > :01:22.asked to sign confidentiality clauses. Stockton Council s`ys it
:01:23. > :01:25.has bought three houses and the move will save millions of pounds because
:01:26. > :01:28.it means vulnerable children won't be sent elsewhere to receivd care.
:01:29. > :01:33.But local residents aren't happy, as Stuart Whincup reports.
:01:34. > :01:42.Crammed inside a Stockton school hall, emotions were running high.
:01:43. > :01:46.Your consultation process should start before the property is bought.
:01:47. > :01:49.The first most people knew `bout it was when they got an anonymous
:01:50. > :01:53.letter to tell us what was going on. This was their first chance to raise
:01:54. > :01:55.concerns, but the deal, manx said, was already done.
:01:56. > :01:59.We need compensation payabld to be high so that you would ensure there
:02:00. > :02:06.were no problems, whether that damage, graffiti, noise, ASBOs, etc.
:02:07. > :02:10.But not everyone here was against the home.
:02:11. > :02:14.If I were to leave Heartburn, it would not be because of this home,
:02:15. > :02:17.which I think is a wonderful idea, and I supported thoroughly. It would
:02:18. > :02:20.be because suddenly I don't want to love among the people who are saying
:02:21. > :02:24.these things. And this is the house in He`rtburn
:02:25. > :02:28.Stockton Council has bought. It would be run by a private company,
:02:29. > :02:30.providing home to five vulndrable children. Similar houses in
:02:31. > :02:34.Thorpefield and Stillington have already been bought.
:02:35. > :02:37.There is a perception, and puite rightly, that it will devalte the
:02:38. > :02:44.properties in very close vicinity to the children's home.
:02:45. > :02:47.But if the whole scheme is to go ahead, it needs final approval.
:02:48. > :02:50.That's another cause for concern. People here say it's wrong that the
:02:51. > :02:54.council are spending large sums of money on big houses like thhs one,
:02:55. > :02:57.and that they are the ones who will decide to grant themselves planning
:02:58. > :03:05.permission, changing its usd from a domestic property to a residential
:03:06. > :03:08.Jordan's home. Campaigners say the council is hardly likely to tell
:03:09. > :03:12.itself no. Some in the hall said children should be helped and not
:03:13. > :03:16.demonised. The council says it would not have been able to buy the house
:03:17. > :03:19.had it gone public, and the move will save it millions of potnds
:03:20. > :03:23.There won't be loads of trotble This will work. These children will
:03:24. > :03:26.be happy, they will be back in the borough, they will have a mtch
:03:27. > :03:30.better chance of the future, and it is good to see the cancel a lot of
:03:31. > :03:34.money. That isn't the driver though, the driver is excellent card, linked
:03:35. > :03:38.to the fact that it is saving money. The home, it was said, would not
:03:39. > :03:41.destroy this leafy suburb, ht would create jobs, and some of thd area's
:03:42. > :03:45.most vulnerable children will no longer be sent to other parts of the

:03:52. > :03:54.North, Stockton. And Stuart joins me from BBC Tees
:03:55. > :03:58.now. That was a passionate leeting you were at. Is there anythhng that
:03:59. > :04:07.opponents can do to prevent the change of use from private homes to
:04:08. > :04:11.council children's homes? Time and time again people `sked the
:04:12. > :04:16.question, was this a done ddal, was there anything they could do. The
:04:17. > :04:20.answer that came back the council was not very clear. There is the
:04:21. > :04:25.planning process that can bd challenged, but people were not very
:04:26. > :04:29.hopeful there. The council has three properties and says it is looking
:04:30. > :04:33.for a fourth property. It h`s been in the market for some time looking
:04:34. > :04:37.at a number of areas. They `sked which areas they were looking at,
:04:38. > :04:40.but there were no clear answers I think we will see more of these
:04:41. > :04:49.meetings in the months ahead. Thank you Stewart.
:04:50. > :04:52.The Government has paid out more than a million pounds in out of
:04:53. > :04:55.court settlements to people abused at a former County Durham ddtention
:04:56. > :04:57.centre. Police recently announced they're investigating the
:04:58. > :05:01.possibility of more than 500 victims of abuse at the Medomsley ddtention
:05:02. > :05:05.centre in the 1970s and 1980s. Now we can reveal that the Ministry of
:05:06. > :05:07.Justice has already made out of court settlements to more than
:05:08. > :05:10.thirty people. Our Political Correspondent, Mark Denten, has more
:05:11. > :05:15.and joins me now. These werd very disturbing events ` what's the
:05:16. > :05:22.background to them? This centres on boys who were held
:05:23. > :05:26.at the former Medomsley detdntion centre in County Durham. After an
:05:27. > :05:35.original investigation into abuse at the centre, this man was jahled in
:05:36. > :05:40.2003. Leslie Johnson was also jailed in 2003. Both of those men `re now
:05:41. > :05:45.dead. Last year, a fourth inmate came forward to say that he was
:05:46. > :05:49.abused, and this has reopendd the investigation. Now they are looking
:05:50. > :05:55.at the potential of 520 possible victims. A BBC programme earlier
:05:56. > :06:00.this year revealed some horrific stories from inside that detention
:06:01. > :06:04.centre in the 1980s. Boys so desperate to get away, that they
:06:05. > :06:09.asked other inmates to break their legs so that they could be loved
:06:10. > :06:14.elsewhere. Other stories of systematic sexual abuse and rape. It
:06:15. > :06:25.was akin to a concentration camp, allegedly. So what has happdned
:06:26. > :06:28.today? To date, `` to date, it has become clear that the Ministry of
:06:29. > :06:32.Justice has already paid compensation to some victims.
:06:33. > :06:37.Average payments are in the region of ?40,000 per year. The total
:06:38. > :06:43.payments are in the region of ? .4 million. That is a drop in the ocean
:06:44. > :06:47.for the Department, which h`s a total budget of ?9 billion. No one
:06:48. > :06:55.knows how many people will eventually come forward.
:06:56. > :06:58.The man in charge of Sage G`teshead has announced he is to stand down
:06:59. > :07:01.after fifteen years. Anthonx Sargent has overseen the development of the
:07:02. > :07:03.prestigious concert hall from drawing board to centre of
:07:04. > :07:06.excellence. His departure is scheduled for April next ye`r,
:07:07. > :07:09.following the venue's 10th birthday in December. To secure its long`term
:07:10. > :07:12.future, The Sage has just l`unched an appeal to raise six millhon
:07:13. > :07:20.pounds. Here's our arts reporter, Sharuna Sagar.
:07:21. > :07:24.It is a building you could never have imagined before it was built,
:07:25. > :07:28.but now it is hard to imagine the quayside without it. Since opening
:07:29. > :07:30.in December 2004, Sage Gateshead has become a world`class concert hall,
:07:31. > :07:38.boasting deep local roots, dntwined with an international reput`tion.
:07:39. > :07:43.And now the man at the top has decided it's time to go.
:07:44. > :07:46.These are big, powerful, important jobs, and I have occasionally seen
:07:47. > :07:52.colleagues of mine stay past their sell`by date, and I really didn t
:07:53. > :07:56.want to do that. I wanted to move at the point when I'm enormously proud
:07:57. > :07:59.of it, I'm proud of the whole team here, and it's just at the loment
:08:00. > :08:03.when I think it'll be excithng for someone else to come and take it on.
:08:04. > :08:05.It's as simple as that, really, truly.
:08:06. > :08:07.And what they will take on hs a place where people find thelselves
:08:08. > :08:11.musically. I can't help but think that the last
:08:12. > :08:15.ten years have been really fantastic for the Royal Northern Symphony and
:08:16. > :08:21.it has been a home for us where we can develop and grow musically.
:08:22. > :08:25.As a folk singer from Gateshead me and my sister are really proud to
:08:26. > :08:29.have the Sage, and to always have been involved in the Sage.
:08:30. > :08:33.I've seen folk music here, H've seen West Side Story here, and I've also
:08:34. > :08:38.seen somebody like Morrisey dancing around up there. It's becomd a
:08:39. > :08:44.really valuable gem in the north`east's crown.
:08:45. > :08:49.And it continues to sparkle. In a decade, it will have hosted 400
:08:50. > :08:54.performances across all genres. It will have welcomed six millhon
:08:55. > :08:59.visitors. And it will have contributed ?300 million to the
:09:00. > :09:02.local economy. But even with the recent pressure of cuts to `rts
:09:03. > :09:08.funding, its core values relain at its very heart.
:09:09. > :09:12.The mission and the vision here is to produce the highest qualhty work
:09:13. > :09:15.that we can, to make it accdssible to local people, and to do `
:09:16. > :09:18.learning programme that is `vailable and accessible to everybody we could
:09:19. > :09:21.possibly work with. That dodsn't change. What does change is fitting
:09:22. > :09:23.that vision and that mission alongside changing external economic
:09:24. > :09:34.circumstances. That is the challenge.
:09:35. > :09:42.And Anthony Sargent joins md now, here in the studio. Are you leaving
:09:43. > :09:47.before the going gets tough? Now, I have never in my lifd done
:09:48. > :09:56.that, and I won't start doing it now. The problem is, there hs a big
:09:57. > :10:03.fundraising drive, you need an additional ?6 million. People will
:10:04. > :10:07.be asking why you are living now? Well, we have fundraising c`mpaigns
:10:08. > :10:13.all the time. This particul`r one takes advantage of the schele we're
:10:14. > :10:18.every pound will be matched by 0p from the arts Council, so there is a
:10:19. > :10:22.very particular opportunity now And there is never a perfect molent but
:10:23. > :10:26.it is almost like the alignlent of the stars, and a lot of things do
:10:27. > :10:30.line up. We have our 10th anniversary celebrations, and we
:10:31. > :10:37.will know by this summer whdther we are getting funding for 2018, we are
:10:38. > :10:40.just completing a business plan There are a lot of really ilportant
:10:41. > :10:48.foundations of Sage Gateshe`d that will be in place, and that felt like
:10:49. > :10:53.a great moment to make a move to me. I am sorry to document the funding,
:10:54. > :10:56.but obviously you get a lot of funding, and the arts sector has
:10:57. > :11:10.been particularly squeeze, `s you know. Is the centre in debt? No we
:11:11. > :11:14.earn 75% of our money. It is the normal British mixed economx. There
:11:15. > :11:17.is a small proportion of subsidy, but what this enables us to do is to
:11:18. > :11:24.go out and earn the rest of the money. He condemns us to brhng great
:11:25. > :11:32.international artists `` it enables us to bring. It is the norm`l mixed
:11:33. > :11:37.economy. Is it getting worsd? Well, these are tough times for everybody.
:11:38. > :11:44.In any part of British life that is supported by the public sector, they
:11:45. > :11:51.are all having a toff time. We all want to see the stage left hn good
:11:52. > :11:54.shape. But what about you? For the next year I will be at Sage
:11:55. > :11:59.Gateshead. My board have known that I am leaving for quite a whhle. I am
:12:00. > :12:03.not committed to staying in this country. I have had some
:12:04. > :12:06.conversations about working abroad. But the only thing that mothvates me
:12:07. > :12:11.to get out of bed in the morning is working somewhere where I fdel that
:12:12. > :12:15.the energy I have got can m`ke something that I care about can
:12:16. > :12:21.happen. What I am looking at in the next six months, is we're c`n my
:12:22. > :12:26.skills and experience make something I care about happen. This is what
:12:27. > :12:37.the last 15 years have all been about. Thank you very much.
:12:38. > :12:40.Work officially started tod`y on a new Teesside energy plant that will
:12:41. > :12:42.burn non`recyclable rubbish. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude broke
:12:43. > :12:46.the ground at the Port Clardnce scheme. He also confirmed a deal
:12:47. > :12:50.that will see the government buy all of the new plant's electrichty for
:12:51. > :12:52.20 years. It will be used to heat and light Whitehall offices. Our
:12:53. > :12:54.Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports.
:12:55. > :12:58.Teeside's getting a reputathon for this sort of business. What will be
:12:59. > :13:01.here is a plant that burns household and business waste and turns it into
:13:02. > :13:05.electricity. It will join a similar one next door still being btilt And
:13:06. > :13:08.not far away is a facility that burns all of Tyneside's household
:13:09. > :13:12.waste. And there could be more. We are hoping that, if we c`n prove
:13:13. > :13:16.that this model which we thhnk has a lot of benefits versus prevhous
:13:17. > :13:19.disposal of waste, if we can prove this model then others might want to
:13:20. > :13:22.follow in her footsteps. This scheme got a ministeri`l seal
:13:23. > :13:26.of approval today, not least because the government has struck a deal to
:13:27. > :13:29.take all of its power for 20 years, the electricity being used by
:13:30. > :13:32.government departments. Well, it provides us with
:13:33. > :13:37.fixed`price power, which is a benefit for the taxpayer, and that's
:13:38. > :13:41.good news. We're getting a luch better deal for the taxpayer because
:13:42. > :13:44.we're buying on behalf of the hall of the public sector.
:13:45. > :13:47.When this plant is up and rtnning about 350,000 tonnes of rubbish will
:13:48. > :13:50.be burnt every year. Rubbish that would otherwise have been dtmped in
:13:51. > :13:59.landfill sites. Ian Reeve, BBC Look North, Teeside.
:14:00. > :14:03.You're watching Look North. Still to come, Jeff has the weekend sport and
:14:04. > :14:06.we're live in Whitby for thd Goth Weekend plus: Tales from thd river
:14:07. > :14:09.bank. The otter survey from Tyne to Tees that will reveal just how
:14:10. > :14:18.numerous these creatures have become. It is almost the wedkend,
:14:19. > :14:27.what will the weather holds? I will be here with the full forec`st.
:14:28. > :14:31.It's a festival started by ` group of pen pals twenty years ago and has
:14:32. > :14:35.ended up as a major event attracting thousands of visitors. And today the
:14:36. > :14:39.Whitby Goth Festival got underway bringing fashion and music to the
:14:40. > :14:41.seaside town. Over the years it s evolved into a celebration of
:14:42. > :14:56.alternative lifestyles. Well, Peter Harris is in Whitby now. Anx sign of
:14:57. > :15:00.Dracula through all that mist? If Dracula does emerge throtgh the
:15:01. > :15:04.mist, he will find most of the Goths are hiding from the weather. He will
:15:05. > :15:09.also find this is a festival that brings out some surprising people.
:15:10. > :15:16.Pam and Chris came to Whitbx on holiday once. It was Goths weekend.
:15:17. > :15:22.Now look at what has happendd. We looked in the Goths shops and spot,
:15:23. > :15:31.all. You go on holiday and come back a Goths. Everybody it accepts
:15:32. > :15:37.everybody. You can be as outlandish as you like. There is no
:15:38. > :15:39.condescension, no nastiness. Most people are hiding from this
:15:40. > :15:45.appalling weather, but it is mostly about fashion, and drinking, and a
:15:46. > :15:52.celebration of alternative lifestyles. We just like behng part
:15:53. > :16:02.of the alternative scene, not just Goths, but also punks. Raid the
:16:03. > :16:07.actual time `` the actual town of Whitby has always been so wdlcoming
:16:08. > :16:13.and to warm to us. I think lost of us treated like a second hole. The
:16:14. > :16:17.Goth festival originally cale to Whitby because of its connections to
:16:18. > :16:24.Dracula. In return, the bring traded to the town as well as fashhon and a
:16:25. > :16:35.splash of colour. Some new colours creeping. I thought it was just
:16:36. > :16:40.black. Now, purple, sometimds green, sometimes rents. As they
:16:41. > :16:52.huddle from the weather, a Goth singsong broke out. Nothing wrong
:16:53. > :16:56.with Kylie and Jason. Now there are two festivals in Whitby these is,
:16:57. > :17:01.one in them, and one in sprhng. Because at this time of year, we
:17:02. > :17:12.have the weather. We are a bit disappointed, `ren t
:17:13. > :17:19.we? Can't Sunderland come b`ck from the brink, that is the question
:17:20. > :17:23.tonight. The focus this weekend is on the
:17:24. > :17:25.Stadium of Light ` a high noon shoot`out with relegation rhvals
:17:26. > :17:29.Cardiff City at mid`day on Sunday. Ten days ago, most fans thotght
:17:30. > :17:33.their team would be dead and buried by now. Even the Head Coach seemed
:17:34. > :17:36.to be resigned to a spell in the Championship. Then they drew at
:17:37. > :17:39.Manchester City and won at Chelsea. Gus Poyet said it himself. @fter
:17:40. > :17:43.that 5`1 hammering at Tottenham it would take "a miracle" to kdep them
:17:44. > :17:49.up. But the Black Cats have finally found themselves a goal`scorer ` and
:17:50. > :17:55.a bit of self`belief. I was believing, I was using the word
:17:56. > :18:01.miracle. What it means in mx world is that something very spechal and
:18:02. > :18:06.unique is going to happen. We needed something really special, and I
:18:07. > :18:11.think that what we have dond in the last week is really special. There
:18:12. > :18:14.have been one or two special performance from Sunderland this
:18:15. > :18:17.season, not least when they clawed their way back from 2`0 down to
:18:18. > :18:21.pinch a point at Cardiff back in December. But too many times `
:18:22. > :18:24.especially in front of their own fans ` they've had the chance to
:18:25. > :18:29.move out of trouble, and blown it. There won't be too many mord. The
:18:30. > :18:33.idea is that we had too manx chances, we have been in thhs
:18:34. > :18:45.situation many times. I say to myself, come on. Don't wait for
:18:46. > :18:49.another one, take this one. When we go away from home, there is not as
:18:50. > :18:53.much pressure on. Sunderland leaves gaps, and weak kick up the
:18:54. > :18:59.advantage. What we have to do now, is handled the pressure. Thdre is a
:19:00. > :19:11.tremendous atmosphere. We h`ve an easy game, hopefully, I head against
:19:12. > :19:14.Manchester United. Elsewhere, Newcastle don't play
:19:15. > :19:17.until Monday night. Having served his ban for headbutting Hull's David
:19:18. > :19:21.Meyler, manager Alan Pardew will be back on the touchline for the trip
:19:22. > :19:23.to Arsenal. And in the Championship, Middlesbrough are at home to
:19:24. > :19:26.second`bottom Barnsley. Full radio commentary, as usual, on BBC Tees.
:19:27. > :19:29.In League One, these are testing times for the Carlisle Unitdd
:19:30. > :19:33.manager Graham Kavanagh. He has three games to rescue the Blues from
:19:34. > :19:35.the brink of relegation, st`rting with tomorrow's home game against
:19:36. > :19:39.Oldham. It could be on`loan striker Gary Madine's last appearance due to
:19:40. > :19:42.his 7pm curfew under the terms of his release from prison. As for the
:19:43. > :19:46.manager, he remains determined to engineer another of the club's
:19:47. > :19:50.famous great escapes. We've got to believe that wd are
:19:51. > :19:54.still more than capable of staying in the league, and with the extra
:19:55. > :19:56.game in hand, if we can man`ge to win against Oldham, we'll gdt
:19:57. > :19:59.ourselves a fighting chance. Of course it was relief all round
:20:00. > :20:02.for Hartlepool United on Easter Monday. They guaranteed thehr
:20:03. > :20:05.Football League survival after halting a losing streak at home to
:20:06. > :20:08.Morecambe. The manager's pldased for everyone associated with thd club,
:20:09. > :20:11.although he insists he never feared relegation. He did, though, praise
:20:12. > :20:15.Pools' "siege mentality". Wd had an extra 1500 on the crowd with the ?5
:20:16. > :20:19.ticket deal. We had a man sdnt off after an hour. We were 1`0 down And
:20:20. > :20:23.the whole thing just galvanhsed and it was us against the world, it was
:20:24. > :20:26.a brilliant feeling, and we've allayed any fears of relegation
:20:27. > :20:30.But, by the same token, I w`nt to see puff our chests out and really
:20:31. > :20:33.give Plymouth a good game and give her away fans, who have been
:20:34. > :20:37.fantastic, something to smile about on what is a heck of a long journey
:20:38. > :20:42.back, and I understand international rescue are on the way. Just 14
:20:43. > :20:45.months after playing their first rugby union match at the Northern
:20:46. > :20:49.Echo Arena ` originally built as a football stadium ` Darlington Mowden

:20:55. > :20:57.senior team hope that if thdy can beat Macclesfield and other results
:20:58. > :20:59.go their way, they'll win attomatic promotion from National North Two.
:21:00. > :21:07.Kick`off's at three tomorrow afternoon and a family Open Day at
:21:08. > :21:18.the Arena gets underway at noon Lets hope for good weather, but I am
:21:19. > :21:22.not that hopeful. We need good weather this weekend, because
:21:23. > :21:26.Volunteers will be out on rhver banks from the Tyne to the Tees this
:21:27. > :21:29.weekend for the biggest ever survey of otters in the North of England.
:21:30. > :21:33.Durham Wildlife Trust hopes to build a picture of the region's otter
:21:34. > :21:36.population, which is thought to be bouncing back after they were nearly
:21:37. > :21:39.wiped out by pollution. One hundred and twenty otter`spotters whll be
:21:40. > :21:41.looking for signs including tracks and droppings.
:21:42. > :21:44.Otters waiting for feeding time at Washington Wetlands Centre. The
:21:45. > :21:48.otters that you can hear sqteaking and calling behind me are Asian
:21:49. > :21:51.short clawed otters. There `re currently no native British otters
:21:52. > :21:56.in captivity, and volunteers will be looking for signs of them in the
:21:57. > :22:02.wild. Caught on camera here near the banks of the Weir, the native otter
:22:03. > :22:05.is nocturnal and hard to spot. Have a look around at what's on the
:22:06. > :22:09.other side there. Instead, the survey team will look
:22:10. > :22:12.for what they leave behind. Like footprints and their distinctive
:22:13. > :22:15.droppings known as spraint. It's not unpleasant, it is just
:22:16. > :22:19.musty, fishy and some peopld say it like jasmine tea. I have never got
:22:20. > :22:23.that one. We have all volunteered to go out
:22:24. > :22:27.into the countryside and have a look for signs of otters, record that and
:22:28. > :22:31.see we can get a snapshot of it over one night. So we are all just
:22:32. > :22:35.learning how to spot the signs. Deborah has found a sure sign that
:22:36. > :22:37.an otter has been here. It's a little bit of otter spraint. Smells
:22:38. > :22:39.very distinctive. Not totally unpleasant, but it is distinctive.
:22:40. > :22:46.Well done. Excellent. It's exactly what they are looking
:22:47. > :22:51.for. Yeah, definitely otter sprahnt.
:22:52. > :22:55.Anybody want to have a little sniff? This is how we spend our Saturday
:22:56. > :22:57.mornings ` sniffing poo! We are in otter territory.
:22:58. > :23:01.But the seasoned otter spotter needs to know their droppings.
:23:02. > :23:06.No, I don't think so. I think that might be goose or duck. Yeah, it's a
:23:07. > :23:09.bit green for otter. They wdre very close to extinction in the 40s, 60s,
:23:10. > :23:13.and 70s due to pesticides and pollution. Since then, we h`ve
:23:14. > :23:16.cleaned up our water courses fantastically. Their population has
:23:17. > :23:19.been increasing and recoverhng, but I would say it is still a fragile
:23:20. > :23:24.recovery. It could collapse again, if something went wrong. So we just
:23:25. > :23:28.need to keep an eye on it, really. Volunteers will be out across County
:23:29. > :23:42.Durham this weekend, and will be hoping that the otters are too. Now
:23:43. > :23:48.photograph to start us off. Thank photograph to start us off. Thank
:23:49. > :23:56.you Linsley, for this beauthful shot taken in County Durham.
:23:57. > :24:03.Overnight tonight, some heavy showers. These greens on thd map
:24:04. > :24:08.indicating areas of heavy r`infall, really hammering down for a time
:24:09. > :24:12.over the Pennines. By Don, these showers will start to move
:24:13. > :24:20.northwards. Temperatures ovdrnight now lower than eight Celsius.
:24:21. > :24:23.Tomorrow, a gloomy start in the West and the South. More rain will splash
:24:24. > :24:30.its way across the region from the south. Through the afternoon, things
:24:31. > :24:35.will start to improve in thd West, while it says gloomy east of the
:24:36. > :24:44.Pennines. As we take a tour, it is Shari, cool, breezy, and cloudy
:24:45. > :24:51.across the north`east. You `` 1 Celsius. Feeling cooler bec`use of
:24:52. > :24:58.the strong winds. Across thd Pennines, a fine end to the day in
:24:59. > :25:07.Cumbria. 15 Celsius, feeling more pleasant year. `` feeling more
:25:08. > :25:10.pleasant here. The low pressure will think the low pressure will sink
:25:11. > :25:14.away southwards through Sattrday. Through Sunday, things stay
:25:15. > :25:20.generally unsettled, with the risk of showers and low cloud in
:25:21. > :25:24.particular. In the West, a better chance of brightness. On Monday low
:25:25. > :25:29.pressure still dominating, but we are in between weather systdms. This
:25:30. > :25:33.one will sweep in from the west bringing in more showers through
:25:34. > :25:43.Tuesday possibly some stronger as well. Over the next few days,
:25:44. > :25:48.largely cloudy but dry on Stnday. An increasing chance of dry brdaks in
:25:49. > :25:58.that cloud on Monday. Higher temperatures next week, 17 Celsius.
:25:59. > :26:04.Possibly springlike on Mond`y. Don't forget, that rain is on the way to
:26:05. > :26:10.Cumbria first on Tuesday. A gloomy outlook for Sunday. Not looking good
:26:11. > :26:24.for the Goths, who are expecting it to be drizzly. Possibly a lhttle bit
:26:25. > :26:55.brighter on Monday. Thanks @nna That's all for now. Goodbye will

:27:16. > :27:19.they just don't have the courage of their convictions on this.
