The Tour de France moves on, but the spectators, riders `nd | :00:11. | :00:15. | |

And we're with the team at Newcastle's Freeman Hosphtal | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
as they undertake a heart transplant operation on a b`by. | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
In sport, Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krtl says | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
he did nothing wrong, as his penalty saving antics for Holland in the | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
And we take the plunge with one of our best medal prospects in this | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
It's designed to cut harmful pollution and reduce energy | :01:07. | :01:22. | |
The Government's Green Deal is touted as being good | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
for the environment and good for people's pockets. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
But an investigation by BBC Look North and BBC Newc`stle has | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
found one firm offering Gredn Deal services in the region has left some | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
customers out of pocket and with little to show for it. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Our political correspondent Mark Denten has this exclusive rdport. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
John from Darlington appeardd on Look North recently. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
He has a 14`year`old boiler which needs replacing and was attracted by | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
a Government scheme called the Green Deal, private firms offer energy | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Homeowners, landlords and tdnants benefit from the Green Deal. | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
A Gateshead firm called Tivhum Ltd called him out of the blue. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
A representative visited his home, he signed up for a Green De`l | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
But within a day, John decided it wasn't for him after | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
After about seven to ten days I r`ng them | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
up and said, "I've cancelled it what's happening about my rdfund?" | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
They cashed my cheque after I cancelled the contract. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
But John, it seems, is not the only one. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Since Look North highlighted his case, we've been contacted by these | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
They all paid money and waited and waited. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Here is Dave, from Sacriston in County Durham | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
The guy's words to me were, "Look, we need this ?299 to go ahe`d, but | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
don't worry about it, you c`n't lose it because at the end of thd day, | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
if you decide after you recdive the information we are going to give you | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
that you are not happy with it, you get your money returned." | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
But weeks and months passed, no assessment, no new boiler. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
And from August last year until now, I haven't even received the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Green Deal assessment, let `lone a boiler or my money back. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
And 20 miles north in Cramlhngton, here is Adam. | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
After an initial cold call last August, he invited Tivium Ltd round, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
handed over ?199 and, althotgh he had a Green Deal assessment, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
I tried twice or thrice to phone the place in Swalwell. | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
You are always on a waiting list in a telephone queue. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
When you ask them, "When am I going to get my new boiler?" | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
All they say is, "There's a big delay, we don't know." | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
And then there's John in Barnard Castle, | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
another Tivium Ltd customer waiting for a new boiler, first contacted | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
The guy came out, we sat and talked to him. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
He took a cheque for ?299 of us and said someone will be out within | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Then, after about six weeks, I finally got a date when they were | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
We sat in one afternoon for four hours, nobody came out | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
It was only because it was on the television | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
a fortnight ago that we dechded well, these are people like us. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Not to be embarrassed about it and let everybody else know what's | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
After Look North contacted Tivium Ltd, finally, | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
In Dave's case, Tivium Ltd said there was a mix`up | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
It acknowledges that servicd has in his case been disappointhng. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
They are refunding him his ?299 and gave him ?50 gift vouchdr. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
In John's case, Tivium Ltd `dmitted it missed a Green Deal assessment. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Again, his ?299 has been refunded `nd has | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
In Adam's case, Tivium Ltd acknowledges del`ys | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
They say they will fit a bohler in the next few weeks | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
John in Darlington has been refunded, too, by Tivium Ltd. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Tivium Ltd declined to be interviewed but in a statemdnt it | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
blames teething problems with the Green Deal that are not its fault. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
It acknowledges it has carrhed out 6000 Green Deal assessments, | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
but less than 1% have had the equipment installed. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
The firm says this is in line with problems with the | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Green Deal experienced by other companies and participants. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Tivium Ltd says it makes strenuous efforts to communicate with | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
customers and has a complaint rate of less th`n 1 5%. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Tivium Ltd is the marketing arm of Tivium Green Deal Installers Ltd. | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
the organisation that offichally accredits these firms, calldd | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Stroma, has told Look North it's investigating Tivium Green Deal | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Installers Ltd and its conndction to Tivium Ltd after complaints. We | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
understand that investigation is looking at potential breachds | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
Now Tivium Ltd says it is confident that that investigation will result | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
in Stroma's full satisfaction, but opposition politicians `re now | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
asking wider questions about the Green Deal itself. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
The Green Deal is an import`nt idea, it makes sense for people to spend | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
their money paying back for lower efficiency energy measures rather | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
than just higher energy bills, but it's not working at the minute. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
It's not attractive offer for consumers to take on. | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
Mark, what do the Government say about the Green Deal? | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
No minister was available to be interviewed tonight, but thd | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Government says they acknowledge there have been problems with the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
deal in the past, but they say since the project was relaunched last | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
month, it has had ?60 million. They say over 234,000 assessments have | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
been carried out, and around about three quarters of those havd | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
resulted in household improvements. They say the home improvement fund, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the thing that was launched last month, will make it even silple to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
operate. They are saying if you are planning home improvements, this is | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
the scheme to adopt, that it does work and there are happy customers | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
out there. It's been described as | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
"the grandest, Grand Depart ever", the weekend when North Yorkshire | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
played host to the first st`ges Along the route, one estimate put | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
crowd numbers at five million, Well, now attention's turning to | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
what kind of legacy the race will leave, with organisers | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
predicting a ?100 million boost Phil Connell spent | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
the weekend following the r`ce, and It was North Yorkshire | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
at its very best. According to the UN, | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
there's 196 countries in thd world and these stunning pictures | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
of the county were seen in 090. For the tourism boss who helped | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
bring the race to Yorkshire, Proud for the people of Yorkshire, | :08:28. | :08:29. | |

the Times this morning saying 5 million people, the Daily M`il, | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
4 million people. I don't know how you verify | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
these numbers, it was just huge Along the route in North Yorkshire, | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
the scenes were astonishing. Even in remote places | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
like Buttertubs, In Harrogate it seemed | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
like one massive party, with Something you don't see in France, | :09:00. | :09:07. | |

Knaresborough, a town that was voted I want to know from your vidwers, | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
do we keep the spots or not? Organisers believe | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
the race will generate ?100 billion Though in Harrogate on Saturday | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
there were winners and losers. We were here from half six, | :10:06. | :10:12. | |

of praise for Yorkshire. Because there are a lot of people, | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
there is an atmosphere with people. They like riders, they like the | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
rides, they like the Tour dd France. The race ends on the Champs`Elysees | :10:56. | :11:04. | |

was found at a house in Wood Street in the town of Rugby, | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
early on Saturday morning. The three men are all from the Rugby | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
area. A man from Sunderland has admitted | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
starting a fire on board a ferry, which was then forced to return to | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
port in North Shields. Boden Hughes started the bl`ze | :11:46. | :11:47. | |

of Fulwell Road in Sunderland, The Government has announced plans | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
to create thousands of new jobs in the North East and Cumbrha | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
through something it's callhng Hundreds of millions of pounds | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
of investment are promised over The money will be used to ddvelop | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
business parks Our political editor | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Richard Moss is here now. What exactly is promised | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
in this "deal"? This is supposedly a more | :12:22. | :12:33. | |
intelligent way of the Government spending money. Instead of separate | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
announcements, the idea is to put a pool of money into one pot `nd local | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
enterprise partnerships can bid around the country for them. We ve | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
got a good slice of money, so they must have liked what we `` they saw. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
In Cumbria, a promise to crdate around 2000 jobs. The redevdlop and | :12:51. | :12:56. | |

and Tyneside and Wearside, `nother 4000 jobs promised. It was the third | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
highest allocation in the country after Manchester and London. Newton | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
Aycliffe business Park, for companies want to serve the industry | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
there. And work to raise school standards. It has worked well in | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
London. What it didn't incltde was the commitment of the amount of | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
money that London got for that. Grant Shapps, the Conservathve Party | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
chairman, he was a long timd today and this is what he said about the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
growth deal. These are big investments, a show of faith that we | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
believe you live in an area of the country that is absolutely poised to | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
have a great future, more jobs, sharing the economic growth, that | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
long`term plan has started to bring the benefits of the fastest`growing | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
economy in the advanced world in the UK, it's coming right here to | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Cumbria, right over to the north`east. It's the Governlent | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
working with local people to get stuff done. Not everyone thhnks it's | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
such a big deal. Labour say it's not enough, it doesn't make up for the | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
neglect of the north`east and Cumbria of the last four ye`rs. This | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
is Ian Wright, an MP and Sh`dow Minister. I do think it's too little | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
too late. The Government has neglected my area over the lifetime | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
of this Parliament, we've sden the largest spending cuts of anx area in | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
the country. I don't think they really recognise the scale of | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
ambition we have for our arda. We've got fantastic potential, but they | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
haven't provided us with thd skills, tools and resources to be able to | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
fulfil their potential. Labour said it would pass on more money to | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
regions like ours, but you will notice there is an election coming | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
up in the next few months, so we should expect more announcelents | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
like this. These commitments go beyond the next election and we know | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
that governments can change things. This week, Look North has bden given | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
unprecedented access to the operating theatre | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
at Newcastle's Freeman Hosphtal to We'll witness new life being | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
breathed into new lungs and hear of exciting breakthroughs | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
in liver transplantation. And tonight, we're privilegdd to | :15:12. | :15:12. | |
have been able to film one of the most emotional moments | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
the transplant teams face, when a tiny heart arrives just in time | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
for surgeons to save a tiny life. Our health reporter Sharon Barbour | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
is at the Freeman for us now. Transplant week is all about raising | :15:21. | :15:40. | |
awareness and calling on people to have that often difficult | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
conversation about a loved one's desires when they die and what to do | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
about their organs, in the hope that more organs would be made available. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Some stats for you, around the UK at any given time, around 10,000 people | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
are on the waiting list. Of that number, around three people a day | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
die because an organ hasn't become available in time. Across otr region | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
there are hundreds of peopld waiting. In fact, there are hard `` | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
for a heart transplant alond, there are around 56 people on the waiting | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
list. But one little girl is no longer on the waiting list, and | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
that's because last week thd call came to save a donor heart was | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
available and it was a match. The surgeons kindly allowed us hnside | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
the operating theatre to film this heart transplant operation. | :16:30. | :16:30. | |
Few operations are as compldx and time critical | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
The pressure in this operathng theatre is immense, | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
Inside this cool box is the only thing that could s`ve | :16:39. | :16:47. | |
Wrapped in ice, it's a tiny baby's heart. | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
Child heart surgery is a painful business. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Another child has died, its parents grieving, but they've given immense | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
hope to the parent waiting outside the operating theatre, hope that | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
The operation is highly specialised, highly complex, surgeons working | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
The blood supply connected to the donor heart will keep it alive, | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
but without a heartbeat the surgery team are having to work intdnsely to | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
What's happening with blood pressure? | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
The surgeons can't afford to lose any concentration | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
The stress in the theatre is palpable. | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
Finally, this baby, whose life was hanging by a thread, | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
has a new heart, a new chance of life, one she so urgently ndeded. | :18:06. | :18:17. | |
I'm delighted to be joined by LOD, that was the little girl in theatre | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
there. She is six months old. Her parents took the call the other | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
night to say a heart was av`ilable. What did that mean to you? Dmotional | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
isn't the word. It was around about 6:30am, a very difficult call. I | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
shed a few tears on the edgd of the bed at home. We rushed to hospital | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
and from about 9:30am it all happened. How is she doing? Really | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
well, considering everything she's been through. She's awake and | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
stable. It's amazing to see that after such a hairy period. We | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
understand that the operation was difficult at times, we saw some of | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
the tension in the theatre. I spoke to one of the surgeons about this. | :19:06. | :19:14. | |
We are used to opening small babies. I think transplantation in ` baby | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
like this, it's not a very difficult operation but there were a lot of | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
other concerns which make the operation more difficult. A very | :19:25. | :19:37. | |
difficult operation but luckily she is doing remarkably well. It has | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
been a roller`coaster ride, but I wonder where your feelings now lie, | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
particularly with the familx who made the decision to donate their | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
child's heart. We can't express the words to say how thankful wd are, | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
because it's a very difficult decision from their point of view, | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
they've lost a child. But it's given a new lease of life for our | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
daughter, a second chance. H have to introduce Freya here. Good news with | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
your little sister. Mum, I guess it's not just the road to rdcovery. | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
Definitely. It's going to bd a long road ahead, she's still got hurdles | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
to overcome. Hopefully it whll all go well. Thank you both verx much. | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
Now I'm going to hand over to dawn with the sport. | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
Newcastle United's Dutch go`lkeeper Tim Krul has been defending him | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
self against accusations of unsporting behaviour over his | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
attempts to psyche out Cost` Rica's penalty takers in the quartdr finals | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Krul, who saw his first acthon of the tournament on Saturd`y | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
night, was brought on by Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal specifically for | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
the penalty shoot out and proceeded to speak to every spot kick taker, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
telling them he knew where they were going to place the ball. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
It was a successful strategx ultimately, Krul went on to save two | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
penalties to see the Netherlands through to the semi`finals, | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
I don't think I've done anything wrong. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
I haven't shouted at them in an aggressive manner. | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
I just told them, like I said before, that I knew | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
where they were going, that I've analysed where they were gohng. | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
I'm trying obviously to get in their heads and it worked. | :21:19. | :21:35. | |
More bad news for Mark Cavendish in the Tour de France. It was bad | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
enough crashing out in front of his mum near the finish line in | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Harrogate on Saturday, but now he's set to miss the Commonwealth Games | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
as well because he needs surgery on his injured shoulder. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
She's still only 21, but Olympic and Commonwealth Games | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
swimmer Aimee Willmott has packed a lot in since she joined | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
Aimee, whose dad Stuart was also an Olympic swimmer, | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
will head to Glasgow with hdr England teammates later this month, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
It has been a bit of a learning curve. I was thrown in the deep end | :22:03. | :22:29. | |
at the last Commonwealth Gales in Delhi in 2010, so this time it will | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
be quite nice to be one of the older swimmers, I've kind of done all the | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
tournaments and competitions already. For me, it will be nice to | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
see how the racing goes rather than just enjoying the whole atmosphere. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Aimee, who plans to compete in four events, is no stranger to the podium | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
this year, after winning fotr medals at the British championships, but | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
what about tickets for Glasgow? It hasn't been easier than Delhi, | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
getting hold of the tickets. Luckily, I managed to securd a few | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
more than just two. My mum, dad sister and both sets of grandparents | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
will be there to watch me in Glasgow. It will be nice to have | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
more support than normal. Mx grandparents have never really seen | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
the race before so I'm quitd excited to get there now and really show | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
them what I do every day. S`dly Aimee, a member of the swimling club | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
at the Neptune Centre, is moving to the capital after the games with her | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
coach. They will both join the New London Aquatic Centre performance | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
programme, part of the Olympic legacy. I think I've grown tp in | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Middlesbrough and done all H wanted to achieve here. The new ch`pter for | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
me is something I couldn't really turned down, training in thd best | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
pool in the country. I am going to be sad to leave Middlesbrough but | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
I'll be back here training when I'm visiting friends and coming on for | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Christmas. I'm not leaving ht completely, at the back and `` be | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
back every now and again. Hopefully with a medal or two! | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
Yorkshire have been in complete control for most of the first day | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
of their county championship match against Durham at Headinglex. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
Durham's decision to put Yorkshire in to bat after winning | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
the toss seemed to be the wrong one after openers Adam Lyth and | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
The first wicket didn't fall until they'd reached 270 | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
but four wickets from Mark Wood and one from Scott Borthwick saw | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
It was honours today for coledian and TV writer Jason Cook | :24:28. | :24:39. | |
at the University of Sunderland s annual graduation ceremony. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
The writer of the popular BBC sitcom Hdbburn, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
set in Cook's Tyneside hometown received his honorary fellowship | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
from the city's university for his contribution to entertahnment. | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
Jason took time out from script writing to attend today's awards | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
I'm just a bloke that tells jokes, this is beyond overwhelming. | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
I was briefly a student herd and then my comedy career started | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
So while these guys did the three`year | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Great photos to start us off. First, a Midsummer site. Clouds sn`pped | :25:18. | :25:42. | |
over Newcastle. This was thd scene at Whitley Bay, night shining | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
clouds, only visible in the North at this time of year. They are clouds | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
on the edge of space, way above the troposphere, where the rest of our | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
weather happens. This was a beautiful display at Berwick. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Tomorrow, some heavy showers and they could be thundery and | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
slow`moving. Tonight, a few showers developing across North Yorkshire | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
and the north`east, but aftdr dark these should clear. Many pl`ces will | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
be dry with temperatures as low as around 11 Celsius. Tomorrow, we are | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
expecting thundery showers to return, particularly for thd | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
north`east. It's likely to be dry in Cumbria through the afternoon, but | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
in the north`east and North Yorkshire those showers will | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
increase in intensity. We are expecting real downpours through the | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
end of the afternoon and into the early evening, with that Met Office | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
weather warning in force from 1 am until 7pm tomorrow. There whll be | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
spots that avoid the showers, temperatures likely to be 18 or 19 | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
Celsius. As always with this kind of showery weather, not everywhere will | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
see downpours, but where thdy do fall they bring the risk of | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
localised surface water flooding. A showery day in Harrogate, | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
potentially for the first d`y of the Great Yorkshire Show. We have fine | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
weather for the cycling at the weekend. Cumbria, less showdry | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
tomorrow and we are expecting better weather here over the next couple of | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
days. After tomorrow, bright skies and feeling warm in Keswick on | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
Wednesday. Cooler and cloudher in the north`east, though. Somd sunny | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
spells as well as showers tomorrow, but not much sunshine on Wednesday | :27:29. | :27:29. | |
or Thursday. Live TV at its finest! We whll see | :27:30. | :27:39. | |
you tomorrow. | :27:40. | :27:41. |
