back in the 1970s. That is all from the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
back in the 1970s. That is all from Hello, welcome to Look North. Coming | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
up in the programme tonight. Looking to the future. How north`east | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
scientists are using insects to help develop eyes for robots. In or out? | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
The north`east sends billions of pounds of exports to Europe, but | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
businesses are divided over the pros and cons of staying in the EU. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Hebburn, USA`style. The hit Tyneside comedy is being eyed`up for an | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
American makeover. And, could this be the last time? Berwick's final | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
riding of the Bounds, before the referendum which could create a new | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
international border. As more fans call for his head, the Newcastle | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Manager, Alan Pardew, comes out fighting. And, it's the first leg of | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
Gateshead's play`off semi`final against Grimsby as they attempt to | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
take a step closer to returning to the football league. | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
They can see in 3D, just like you and me. In fact, the praying mantis | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
is the only insect known to have that ability. Now they're helping | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
scientists in the north`east to understand sight. Researchers at | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Newcastle University are fitting them with tiny 3D glasses. It's | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
hoped their experiments could help in the development of eye`sight for | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
robots. Sounds like science fiction, but our health reporter, Sharon | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Barbour, has the story. It's an extraordinary sight, a praying | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
mantis wearing a tiny pair of 3D glasses, thought to be the first | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
insects in the world to wear spectacles. But while the idea may | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
seem a little bonkers, the science behind it at Newcastle University is | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
bold. They are the smallest spectacles in the world. They are | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
being developed to fit onto these pray mantises. The scientists here | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
could better understand sight and that will help them develop vision | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
for robotic technologies in future. They chose the praying mantis | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
because, like humans, it has 3D vision, but uses it with a tiny, | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
much less complicated brain. What we are trying to look at is whether | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
praying mantis use the same mechanisms of 3D vision as humans | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
do. They use simpler mechanisms for seeing 3D. If that is so it might be | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
easier to put them into robotics and computer vision and technology we | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
might develop. Once the glasses are fitted on with beeswax the insects | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
seem relaxed as they settle down to watch 3D movies. Simple ones, that | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
replicate a fly. With a ?1 million research grant, the scientists will | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
now closely monitor the eyesight of the praying mantis in the hope of | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
one day giving that same 3D vision to a robot. | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
Amazing story. Other news now. A care watchdog has said improvements | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
are needed to one of our ambulance trusts. It follows an unannounced | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
inspection of North East Ambulance Trust by The Care Quality | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Commission. The CQC said the Trust was failing to meet four of the six | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
national standards it had looked at. The Trust's Chief Executive said | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
it's investing to strengthen the operation. A man who's spent 60 | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
years building up a collection of metal machinery, engines and farm | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
vehicles has had his eviction delayed. Redcar and Cleveland | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Council wants to remove Husky Petch from a property in Dormanstown, | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
because of concerns about the building and Mr Petch's safety. He's | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
now been given two months to find somewhere else to live. | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
The euro elections are just three weeks away and today the Shadow | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Business Secretary, Chuka Umunna, launched Labour's north`east euro | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
election campaign with a warning about the impact leaving the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
European Union would have on jobs in the region. Speaking in Peterlee, he | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
said business leaders here have told him it's vital to stay in the EU, | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
and their opinions should be listened to. People can talk about | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
the emotional aspects of the EU, but I think we have to make sure it | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
delivers jobs for people. Frankly, when we are a member of the EU you | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
have a strong government, if's a Labour government, fighting your | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
cause on the battlefield instead of the likes of Nigel Farage and | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
members of the Tory party who want to walk off the field and allow | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Britain to lose. You can see a full list of candidates for the European | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
elections on the BBC politics website. Those elections for the | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
European Parliament will be held on the 22nd of this month. In the North | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
East, three MEPs will be chosen from 24 candidates, representing eight | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
parties. Ahead of the elections, we're posing the question on Look | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
North ` Europe, in or out? Our business correspondent, Ian Reeve, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
has been asking some of our regional companies precisely that. This | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
Aycliffe company is rather unusual. Not in the products it makes, | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
dehumidifiers and water coolers, or that it has a woman boss, but in | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
that the boss would rather not be part of Europe, and says so openly. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Europe is very important to us. Customers buy our products because | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
they are the best products, not because we are part of the EU. That | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
is not why they bike them. For EBAC whether we are in the EU or not, we | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
will be doing what we do. My view is we would be better off to be in the | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
EU. I don't think it's right for the UK. We buy more from Europe than we | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
sell in to. I don't think Europe will stop selling to us because we | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
are not part of that. Now that's contrary to the opinion of most | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
organisations that speak for businesses, such as the CBI. The | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
view here, with the Institute of Directors, is that there should be | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
some reforms to the European Union and then a referendum, asking us | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
whether we want to be in or out. The single market is something that is | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
actively applauded by our members. But, you know, on the issues of | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
things like employment legislation, sometimes it can be brew Cattic and | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
`` bureaucratic and on Russ. People come to us and crumble like anyone | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
else would, for example, we have lots of web`based businesses in the | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
North East of England. Sometimes it's not as easy for them to sell | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
their services on the continent of Europe, as it might be for them to | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
sell their services in America. This County Durham company is very much | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
in the 'in' camp. From its Barnard Castle base it makes cattle | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
shelters. The unique design allows harmful bacteria to be extracted | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
through the roof. It's a design that's popular in Europe and being | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in the EU could help it get more so. I see it as a good trading | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
opportunity for us. I believe that if you... Whilst the European Union | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
might not have everything right, I believe you have to be in it, if you | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
want to influence it. I think coming out of it would be a bad step. | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
Geoff's sales of his shelter to the EU are part of a bigger significant | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
trade. So the country's exports to Europe were about ?12 billion in | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
just one month. The value of imported goods from the EU nearly | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
hit ?18 billion pounds. As for north`east, exports of goods and | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
services, they totalled over ?6 billion last year. Those that want | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
to stay in the EU say those figures could be hit if we pull out. That's | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
because trade tariffs may be imposed on British companies by Europe if | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
they still wanted to do business there. The potential costs have | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
particularly spooked Japanese companies, such as this Teesside car | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
parts manufacturer. I would estimate 50% of our products, in component | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
stage, or finished vehicle stage, gets shipped into Europe. Anything | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
that would stand in the way of that, or kind of impair that trading | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
relationship, for me, would be very detrimental for business in the UK. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
And detrimental for this business. Nissan has said it would reconsider | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
its investment in Sunderland if the UK left the EU. So, Europe in or | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
out? We can probably guess which way more than 6,000 workers here would | :08:43. | :08:56. | |
vote. Interesting de. Ian Reeve's in our Tees newsroom now. Ian, you | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
mentioned in your report the north`east exported more than ?6 | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
billion worth of goods and services to Europe last year. So who's buying | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
British over there? The biggest export market of that ?6 billion is | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
the Netherlands. We sell in the north`east, companies sell goods and | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
services ?1.5 billion. Second is France, a sale of ?1 billion. They | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
both beat United States into third place, formally our biggest export | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
partner. Imports are important as well. We do the most trade with | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Japan. That is followed by Germany and France. European trade very | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
important for the region. Moving to Cumbria. A potentially significant | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
development on the nuclear energy front there? Yes, there is. We have | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
seen for the last two years, plans have been muted to build three new | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
nuclear reactors at Moorside near Sellafield. Those plans were | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
confirmed back in January, what we have seen today is that Japanese | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
company that owns Weston House will commit ?2 million to the project. | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
It's a long`term projection. Construction won't start until 2020. | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
There will be 1,000 permanent jobs created. It's a long process. Lots | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
of planning hurdles to get over as well as European rules to abide by. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
The project did move slightly forward today. Sounds interesting. | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
Thank you for that. The comedy Hebburn ` created by north`ease | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
stand`up comedian Jason Cook could be going Stateside. The show, about | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
a family in the Tyneside town, was recently cancelled by the BBC, after | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
two series. But now a production company ` co`owned by American | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
comedian and film star Adam Sandler ` has bought the rights to adapt the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
idea for a US audience. It sounds a bit unlikely. Our arts reporter | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Sharuna Sagar is in Hebburn for us now. Sharuna. I'm on the street | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
where much of the series was filmed. Fans of the show might recognise | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
that red door. That is the front door of the Pearson family home. The | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
fiction characters that the sitcom were centred around. The creator, | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Jason Cook, used to live on this street. The series star ed Vick | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
Reeves. It attracted two million viewerses at its peak. The BBC | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
didn't commission a third series. A production company in America, owned | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
by Adam Sandler, you might remember him from The Wedding Singer, they | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
are redeveloping the scripts with a view to creating an American | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
version. But I've been told that this version could be set in | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Pittsburgh. What will the people of Hebburn think about that. Earlier | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
on, I went to the pub that features in Hebburn to find out. I think the | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
programme must have been funny for them to want to take it over. I | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
think it's a good thing for Hebburn maybe. Things that happened in that | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
programme. Really good. Will it work set in Pittsburgh? Don't know, | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
hopefully, yes. Americans haven't got the humour we have. It wouldn't | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
work as much. You are better off keeping it exactly the way it is. If | :12:18. | :12:30. | |
the US project gets the thumbs up when will it be made? American | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
verses of The Office and Gavin and Stacey were successful, they are the | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
exception rather than the rule. Most projects don't get past the script | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
stage, where we are now. The scripts will be shown to the executives at | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
ABC. If they like them, they will fund a pilot. The pilot will be | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
shown to the advertisers. If they like them, they might be made into a | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
series. We are a long way off. Will Hebburn make it in Hollywood? Well, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
we have to wait and see. But I did speak to the executive producer | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
earlier today. He told me it's a bit like playing the National Lottery, | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
but with slightly better odds. Back to you. OK. Very interesting. Thank | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
you. Still to come, the latest from Grimsby as Gateshead begin their bid | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
to return to League football. And, it was once an industrial | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
powerhouse. Now a Lottery windfall will help breathe new life into one | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
of our areas of outstanding natural beauty. It's almost the long Bank | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Holiday weekend. Will it be the weather to get out into the | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
countryside. I will be back with the weather forecast at the end of this | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
evening's news. It's been part of the calendar for | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
more than 400 years, Berwick's annual Riding The Bounds originally | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
protected the town from marauding Scots. It's all more peaceful these | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
days, with riders from both sides of the border taking part. But today's | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
event was the last before Scotland decides whether it wants | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
independence, creating a new international border. Here's our | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
political correspondent, Mark Denten. A soggibergic car park, men | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
and women on horses about to take part in a 400`year`old tradition. | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
Originally it started as a military patrol. They would check there were | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
no intruders on the wrong side. Many of the riders checking the Boundary | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
for marauding Scots are, well, Scots. Tell me why you are here? To | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
invade, as usual! Today's event has a different edge. We aric, 60% of | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
the hinterland of we aric is on the Scottish side. If that was another | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
country, life would change here significantly. It's exact 10.30am, | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
ironically led by a Scottish piper where they go to patrol the border. | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
An hour later, they were still at it. Now patrolling the temporary | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
closed A1 northbound escorted by an English looking double`decker. Next | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
year they could keep an eye on a new international border. Are you ready | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
to be the UN? Any time. We would prefer to be amicable with anybody | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
on either side of the border. We have a great relationship. Whatever | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
happens next year, that relationship will still stand. Bounds ridden | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
between England and Scotland for the 405th time. Who knows, by 406th | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
Borders culture could have an international role. It's one of the | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
least`known parts of our region, but the locals hope spending ?2 million | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
of Lottery money will soon change that. The Allen Valleys, in the | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, were an industrial | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
powerhouse during the 19th century, when lead mining brought prosperity | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
to the Dales. But today the area relies heavily on tourism for its | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
livelihood. So will a Lottery win change the Valleys? Adrian Pitches | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
has tonight's Look North report: There's not one, but two River | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
Allens ` East and West ` running through the dale. At the top of the | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
dale is Allenheads, a boomtown in the days of the lead mining | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
industry, and now hoping that the tourism industry will once again put | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
it on the map. Gosh, it's absolutely beautiful. The countryside is | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
gorgeous. The wildlife is amazing. There is the industrial archaeology. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
It doesn't sound that exciting, when you look at it, it is. All the lead | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
mining. When you think about all the things that started here, so it's | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
kind of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. I think | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
that's quite interesting for people to come and have a look at as well. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
A micro hydro`electric plant in the burn to power Amanda's cafe is one | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
of the plans for the Allen Valleys Heritage Lottery grant, which with | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
contributions from partners like the RSPB and National Trust will be | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
topped up to ?2.5 million. It will be a success if the big habitats | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
that we are working on are better managed, better connected. And, I | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
think it will be a success if more people have heard of the Allen | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Valleys and come and enjoy themselves and go away nothing more | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
and caring more than when they came and they tell their friends and they | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
want to come back. Allenheads has had a Heritage Trust since the 1980s | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
to preserve the past, but plans for the future include a community | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
stargazing observatory in the old school, another attraction for | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
visitors whose spending keeps the dale and its services alive. As far | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
as the Trust is concerned, it's important we do get visitors, | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
weather they are `` whether they are walkers or cyclists or people using | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
the observatory. We rely on them for the local services. We have a good | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
bus service, excellent calfaway and a pub. If it wasn't for the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
visitors, I don't think we would have those facilities. This is the | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
secret weapon. A fleet of 17 electric bikes at five venues across | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
the Allen Valleys that tourists can hire and travel around this | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
beautiful landscape. And later this year, Allendale's first`ever Folk | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
Festival. Headliners include Tyneside four`piece Bridie Jackson | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
and the Arbour, the Emerging Talent competition winners at last year's | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
Glastonbury Festival. When the idea of a Folk Festival came along it | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
became apparent there was a need for it, desire for it. It has never gone | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
away. It has always been here. Just a new initiative has brought that | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
back to the surface and made it clear. That new initiative, the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
multi`million pound makeover for the Allen Valleys, should see visitor | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
numbers increase markedly over the next four years as the area, its | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
wildlife, industrial heritage and music become an even more attractive | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
draw for tourists in the North Pennines. Adrian Pitches, BBC Look | :19:13. | :19:24. | |
North. Lots of shots of daffodils in that piece. We are daffodil fans. | :19:25. | :19:50. | |
Bright future? Let's hope so. Gateshead are the closest they've | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
come to regaining their Football League status in the 54 years since | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
they were voted out. They take on Grimbsy Town tonight in the first | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
leg of their Conference Premier play`off semi`final. We will not get | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
complacent. To go 12 games unbeaten. We are a good side and a hard team | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
to beat. We have to prove that in the next two games. So will they | :20:06. | :20:22. | |
have one foot in the final by the end of tonight? Well, Simon Clarke | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
is at Grimsby's Blundell Park for tonight's match. He's just sent us | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
this report. One player returning tonight will find it is the same | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
here as it was before his time. Gary Mills knows his way through this | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
system. He went through with York City. It's 54 years since they were | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
last in the league. They could be within two fixtures of realising | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
their dream. Let's hope so. And there's full match commentary on BBC | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Newcastle and via the BBC football website. Some fans may have turned | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
their anger and frustration on him, but the Newcastle boss Alan Pardew | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
has no plans to walk away from his job. Pardew's under increasing | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
pressure after a run of six successive defeats. A seventh | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
against bottom club Cardiff on Saturday would only increase calls | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
for his departure, but he's determined to win over the doubters. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
The growing number of protest banners betrays unease at the club's | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
apparent drift since the turn of the year. Is the manager ordering an | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
early cab? I'm proud to be manager of Newcastle. I will fight for that | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
position. I love being manager here. I know recent results have not been | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
good enough. I hope we improve on those in the last two. There has | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
been speculation that Mike Ashley will make a significant amount of | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
money available for transfers in the summer. Do you feel that you have to | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
convince him, perhaps or reassure him, you are still the right man to | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
take the club forward? I don't think that is the point. I think the point | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
is very much that every year I've been here we have sat down, been | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
face`to`face with the problems we have both had, as owner and manager, | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
and tried to address them. Sometimes the mantle falls to me to be strong, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
sometimes for him. We will address that after the last two games. For | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
that meeting, I'm sure it will be constructive whatever it is. It was | :22:27. | :22:40. | |
a bad night for Darlington who's 2`0 defeat to Ramsbottom means they'll | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
remain in the Northern Premier League Division One North for a | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
second year running. Darlington defender Leon Scott had his leg | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
broken by a crunching tackle after just 16 seconds ` they had two | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
players sent off and Manager Martin Gray sent to the stands. The night | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
ended with a punch`up between a small group of Darlington fans and | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
opposition players. The Lancashire club reached the final. What Not a | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
good night. Now the weather: it was cold this afternoon, top | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
temperatures five or six Celsius, more like January or February | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
temperatures than the first day of May. A weather picture to remind us | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
of the joy of spring. Thank you very much Peter, six more eggs waiting to | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
hatch in Keswick. Tomorrow, brighter, not quite as cold, cool | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
for the time of year. Through this evening and over night it's mostly | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
dry, but cloudy in Cumbria. More showers to come for North Yorkshire | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
and the north`east. Under shower clouds, temperatures won't lose much | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
on their afternoon maximum. Down as low as six Celsius by dawn tomorrow. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Brightening up tomorrow morning first thing, particularly in the | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
east, increasingly in the west as well. Through the afternoon things | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
should stay fine and dry as well. Top temperatures still low, nine or | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
ten Celsius with brisk breezes off the North Sea for the north`east. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Crossing westwards across the Pennines and a better day here. 13 | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
Celsius, it will feel much more like spring than it did today in Cumbria. | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
Now, the detail as we begin the long Bank Holiday weekend. Bright spells | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
for many parts of Cumbria on Saturday. A weak weather system to | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
the north will bring outbreaks of drizzly rain through Sunday. Things | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
will improve though on Monday to the north`east Saturday will be bright. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
High pressure will settle things tomorrow night. Expect a hard frost | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
Saturday morning. Bright skies to make up for it. The brightest skies | :24:46. | :24:58. | |
will be further south. Thicker cloud for Berwick. Sunday, things dry and | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
fine. Not too much in the way of sunshine, we aren't expecting | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
sunshine. Temperatures back up to the mid teens. On Bank Holiday | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Monday it should be fine and dry across the region as well. May 1st, | :25:09. | :25:19. | |
is it me, or is this year gallop by? It certainly is. Time flies when be | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
you are getting old. We will be back with the late news at 10.25pm. See | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
you then. Goodbye. Goodbye now. 'The last two generations have been | :25:28. | :25:52. | |
robbed of an opportunity 'And yet it has greater impact | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
on our everyday lives than anything 'We need to put this issue | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
to bed now, 'and not leave it | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
for another generation.' I want a Britain that is free | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
