He's been a North Yorkshire MP for a quarter of century and has built up | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
But tonight the people of Rhchmond have reacted with shock | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
and surprise to the news th`t William Hague is to step down | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
There's likely to be a fierce battle to succeed him | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Phil Connell joins us live from Richmond. | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
Richmond is regarded as the safest Conservative seat in the cotntry. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
William Hague has opinion the MP in this traditional Tory heartland for | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
25 years. Some here had even seen him as a future Prime Minister. His | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
decision to quit politics l`st night has taken many by surprise. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Especially amongst those enjoying a drink this afternoon here at the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
town's Conservative Club. I would think he's been pushed a little bit. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Either that or he's got fed up with the way things have been gohng on. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
My husband was out and when he came back I was like, have you sden the | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
news? Yeah, but he is only leaving as Foreign Secretary, I said not he | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
is stepping down as an MP, `s well. We were both really shocked. I | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
really was astounded. Didn't expect it. When things come out th`t | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
replacing middle`aged men, ` man like William, to class him `s | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
middle`aged is ridiculous, to me. According to many pundits at the age | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
of 53 William Hague was still in his political prime and one man who will | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
agree is the chairman of Richmond Conservatives. You were on ` | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
conference call with Willial Hague last night, what was your rdaction | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
when he said he was leaving? It was a surprise. A huge disappointment | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
when William revealed what his intentions are going to be to all | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
the chairmen of the local branches, it was really a shock. You have said | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
he was proud of his Yorkshire roots, is that northernness somethhng that | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
the new Cabinet will miss? Certainly. William in many respects | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
can be looked upon as boots and braces of the North, sitting next to | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
the Prime Minister representing the North in everything that happens. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
When the big cake of investlent comes he always seemed to gdt a | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
slice for the north`east and Yorkshire. He will be sorelx missed. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
The safest seat in the country, how much interest has been therd? There | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
is going to be a great interest for the safest seat in the Consdrvative | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Party. We know William Hagud intends to keep a house here with plans to | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
write more books. We look b`ck on his political career. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Half of you won't be here in 30 or 40 years' time! | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
They are the precocious images of the past, a 16`year`old conference | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
novelty who became an international statesman, just 12 years after that | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
youthful conference debut Whlliam Hague fought a by`election hn | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Richmond north Yorkshire. Hd took the seat with a majority of just | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
over 2, 2,600, at 28 the yotngest MP in parliament. He has multiplied | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
that majority over nine timds. A Ministerial career under John Major | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
was followed after the big Labour victory, by leadership of the | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Conservative Party but he rdsigned after a second Conservative defeat | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
in 2001. He became Shadow Foreign Secretary in 2005 and took on the | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
full role at the last electhon. He will stay in Cabinet as Leader of | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
the Commons until the electhon in May Arvizo that it's goodbyd. `` and | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
after that it's goodbye. It will be 20 years next year, it's ne`rly 20 | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
years since I first joined the Cabinet and nearly 40 since I | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
started being a political activist and appearing at party confdrences | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
and so on. That is a full gdneration of being involved in politics. Today | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
William Hague's father, his early inspiration, paid tribute to him. 26 | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
years by the time of the next election, he is out of it, only 53, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
has a good life ahead of hil and he wants to write again. He has done a | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
couple biographies already. Probably finish up in the House of Lords | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
much against my advice. But whether he takes heed of dad or not, nearly | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
40 years after his political debut, William Hague's political c`reer has | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
ten months left, ten months that just happen to coincide with a | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
general election campaign. Thank you very much, Phil. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Let's go to Mark Denton now in the studio. William Hague to stdp down | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
at the general election. Who is likely to throw their hat into the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
ring? No definite names but a lot of speculation to the delight of | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
political reporters everywhdre, of course. I have to say, a few local | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
names out of the running already. There was speculation James Wharton | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
might be one of them. He has a small majority but he was born and raised | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
in Stockton and says he is staying to fight the seat. What abott Anne | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
McIntosh, MP for Thirsk and mallen to, she says `` Malton, she says she | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
has no plans to stand in rich mored. Or this chap, John Stephenson. He | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
told me he is committed to Carlisle and that's where he will st`nd next | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
May. Not him either. Could the seat attract a big hitter from ottside | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
the area, maybe this chap, Boris Johnson? Currently mayor of London, | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
but rumoured to be looking for a seat, no word either way tonight. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
There's likely to be lots of interest in the seat becausd of the | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
size of the majority. Absolttely thumping majority. I am surd other | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
parties will say the seat is winnable but the fact is it's the | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
safest parliamentary seat anywhere. For opposition parties overturning a | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
big majority can be like moving a mountain and William Hague has a | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
bigger mountain and all thrde leaders, let's take a look. Here is | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
Ed Miliband's majority. And Nick Clegg. And then the Prime Mhnister | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
in his Oxfordshire seat, a lajority there of under 22,000. Leadhng them | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
all, William Hague, a Mount Everest of majorities, over 23,000, a heck | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
of a steep climb for the other parties. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Those other parties are sayhng that William Hague's departure could | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
leave the region short`changed? He has been a northern voice of the | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Cabinet table. MP Nick Brown says his departure is significant for the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
region and thinks the new C`binet has widened a north`south dhvide. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
It's moved further away frol the English regions, from slan, Wales | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
and Northern Ireland, and `` Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
and into the home Counties, this is an intensive reshuffle and H would | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
have thought the Prime Minister would want to reach out to those | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
parts of the UK where the Conservative Party isn't | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
traditionally strong. He has done nothing of the sort. No news yet on | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
other appointments from the north. As more names come out it looks as | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
if Scarborough and Whitby MP Robert Goodwill has kept his job at the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
department for transport, more news at Ten. | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
Thank you. Newcastle is to keep a clinic | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
for people with eating disorders. There were fears that the Rhchardson | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
Clinic ` at the Royal Victoria Infirmary ` would close, me`ning | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
patients would have to travdl as far But now NHS England has agrded to | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
fund 20 beds in the North E`st, Police searching for a missing | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
County Durham man have found a body. 22`year`old Dean Robson was last | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
seen on Sunday night when he left a friend's house | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
in Moorside saying he was going to A body's now been discovered | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
in a wooded area at the end No formal ID has taken placd, though | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Mr Robson's family have been told. Children as young | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
as 11 have been groomed and sexually That's the claim from one charity, | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
after a major campaign was launched today to tackle child sexual | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
exploitation in the area. Late night workers in hotels, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
taxis and takeaways across Teesside are being urged to report any abuse | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
they see. It's to raise awareness, taxis, bed | :09:32. | :09:52. | |
and breakfast, hotels, if they see something, they say something. We | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
need to be aware of concerns so we can protect children and brhng | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
perpetrators to justice. Well, the charity Barnardos says | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
its currently supporting 154 children across Teesside who've been | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
sexually exploited. Some families say the sickening | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
abuse their children has suffered Stuart Whincup has | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
this special report. Cruising the streets, targeting | :10:09. | :10:21. | |
their prey. They look for young vulnerable children, feeding them | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
with drink and drugs. The groomers offer friendship and love bdfore | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
exploiting and sexually abusing their victims. You have got | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
paedophiles and perverts living and hiding and blending in, and living | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
amongst us all. This woman's daughter was sexually abused by this | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
man. He was sentenced to eight years in prison. The taxi driver was more | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
than twice her age when he had sex with the teenager in a lay`by. I | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
couldn't believe it to begin, I thought how a guy could befriend my | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
daughter, convince her that he was in love with her? He was a | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
32`year`old and she was likd 13 at the time. They're preying on kids. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
The cases are not rare. The charity Barnardo's says it's seen a number | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
of victims groomed and sexu`lly abused increase by a third. The | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
children are young. Across Teesside over the last year we have supported | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
around 154 young people and that includes boys and girls and has been | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
in some cases as young as 10 but often around the age of 13 tpwards. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
High`profile arrests and prosecutions have encouraged more | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
victims to speak out. Last xear three men were sentenced to a total | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
of 16 years in prison for grooming children. Now a new campaign is | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
being launched on Teesside to stop sexual exploitation. The actual | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
abuse takes place hidden from public view, in flats, homes and hotels. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
But the authorities say even under the cover of darkness the w`rning | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
signs can still be seen with older men booking hotel rooms with young | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
girls, with them taking latd night taxi journeys and buying cigarettes | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
and alcohol. Now they want the late night businesses to report their | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
concerns. This isn't just a Middlesbrough problem. This abuse is | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
taking place in every town `nd city. Problems elsewhere in the country | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
quite evidently, the authorhties haven't listened and done anything | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
about it. That's absolutely not the case here on Teesside. Agencies are | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
listening and are committed to tackling the problem. This woman now | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
sleeps behind her front door because she's frightened someone will again | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
hurt her daughter. It destroys your life. It's not the child's life | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
it's everybody else in the family, everybody that's involved. They see | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
the effects it has. There's a lot more kids out there who havdn't been | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
brave enough to come forward. The grooming of young children has been | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
a silent crime that prefers darkness. Now late night workers are | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
being asked to shine a light on the abuse and no longer stay silent | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
An independent odour consultant wil now carry out unannounced vhsits to | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
a factory in Cumbria as part of measures to tackle | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
The move comes four years after 88 families from the town | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
started legal action against Omegga Proteins which owns the | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
Today, it was announced an out of court settlement had been | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
reached, with many of the details remaining secret | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
Alison Freeman joins us from our Carlisle studio. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Some relief then for the residents. Indeed this case has been rtmbling | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
on for the last four years. The pong has been plaguing the peopld for | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
decades. 88 families wanted to get an injunction to stop the w`y the | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
plant was being run from catsing a public nuisance. They wanted to get | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
damages for enduring that slell The out of court settlement is | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
confidential. We won't know if any compensation has been paid. But the | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
action the plant owners havd agreed to take to tackle the smell has been | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
revealed. That includes the appointment of an independent odour | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
consultant to make unannounced visits, odour testing and the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
creation of a covered odour`controlled area for lorries | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
carrying raw materials. Tod`y in Penrith people told us how they had | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
been affected by the smell `nd what they thought of the plans. Lakes you | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
feel sick, physically sick. Awful smell. We are in the middle and you | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
can see tourists and they'rd looking about and a few people have | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
commented as they've been w`lking past, what is that disgusting smell? | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
You can't say we have this smell all the time, we don't but when it's | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
there it's unpleasant. If they can minimise or improve the ` that will | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
be better. The council regulates the site, what has it had to sax? It has | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
stressed it wasn't involved in the civil action. The claimants allege | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
there were not the correct permits in place or the odour control | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
between 2010 and 2013. The company has not answered those allegations | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
but the council says they dhd have the correct permits. The people of | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Penrith will be just be hophng this will put an end to the smell. Thank | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
you. A major clean`up operation has begun | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
on Redcar beach today after pressure The Friends of Redcar says | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
its long fight to get old btilding rubble and debris removed | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
after the installation of ndw sea Now | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
the Environment Agency has `greed to For many this scene has been spoiled | :15:33. | :15:44. | |
by rubble and debris which has emerged at the back of the beach. | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
After a ten`month campaign to get the beach cleared of concrete, metal | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
and debris, The Friends of red car are pleased the clean`up has begun. | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
The building material we sed here is from the coastal defences btilt and | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
finished back in August 2013. They did a brilliant job of the defences, | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
we are happy with that. Howdver they didn't clean up properly | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
afterwards and as you can sde, everywhere on the beach there is | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
huge deposits of building m`terials, broken masonry, bricks, rubble. Even | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
buried bags of building sand, a building fence, all kinds of | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
material that shouldn't be there. There's lots of local respect for | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
the campaigners' fight to clear it. We have a fantastic beach in Redcar | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
and we want it to be even bdtter. It's a great place for families and | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
I want to pay tribute to Thd Friends of Redcar who have come in `ll kinds | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
of weather to pick up the lhtter and rubble and have run a fantastic | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
campaign to get the Environlent Agency and others to come b`ck and | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
clean up some of this rubbld and make this a great place to bring | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
your family. The Environment Agency said it's carried out a number of | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
sweeps of Redcar beach to thdy up debris following the completion of | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
the flood defences. The work is part of a bigger operation ahead of the | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
hobble education to ensure the beach is as clean as possible `` `head of | :17:05. | :17:14. | |
the clean`up operation. They're one step closer to getting | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
the beach they feel they deserve here. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
Later in the programme we speak to more Commonwealth medal | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
And we're behind the scenes of a new play celebrating | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
A play by the daughter of one of the country's most feted writers | :17:34. | :17:53. | |
And just like her father, Alan Plater who died four ydars | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
ago, Janet Plater's writing is grounded in the North. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
Her latest work Stephenson 200 focuses on one of the most | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
For tonight's Look North Report our arts reporter Sharuna S`gar has | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
been talking to Janet about her interest in George Stephenson and | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
The father of the railways, George Stephenson is the inspiration behind | :18:14. | :18:33. | |
Janet Plater's new play. Shd explores the George the man and his | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
relationship with his son Robert who also went on to achieve gre`t | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
indeed. `` greatness. This hs where the Stephensons came to set up the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
company to make locomotives. My dad would have been fascinated. He would | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
have loved to have a look around. Her dad was the late writer Alan | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Plater. His love of the reghon lives on through his daughter. System your | :19:00. | :19:03. | |

father's? I am an apprenticd writer and of course he was a mastdr and | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
very experienced writer. I wouldn't compare myself in that way. But | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
people do say that there ard similarities sometimes in some of my | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
writing, certainly members of the family have signs said therd is | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
something that is an echo of him. Janet's latest work is to cdlebrate | :19:25. | :19:30. | |

at George Stephenson School in killing worth. `` Killingworth. I | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
have been fascinated with Gdorge for a long time, reading about him. He's | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
often portrayed as an austere engineer, a Victorian gentldman And | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
he is quite a character, an ordinary Geordie bloke and my dad wotld have | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
loved to write about him, I am amazed he didn't. Many of the scenes | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
are set in the Stephenson f`mily home. George Stephenson devdloped | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
Bleucher while he was living here at this cottage in West Moor. This is | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
also where he inspired young Robert, his son, to follow in his f`ther's | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
footsteps. As we now know, Robert went on to be known as the greatest | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
engineer of the 1th century. `` 19th century. Obviously there is a | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
comparison to be drawn, between a `` did you draw parallels? Not really. | :20:52. | :21:01. | |
It's in your blood? Perhaps. Stephenson 200 runs until S`turday. | :21:02. | :21:14. | |
Newcastle United and Dutch club Feyenoord are hoping to fin`lise a | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
deal to bring the Holland ftll`back Daryl Janmaat to St James's Park. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
The 24`year`old's been on Txneside today | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
He would become the club's fifth summer signing | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has joined Premier | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
British 1500m champion Laura Weightman from Alnwick is one | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
of our region's best medal prospects for this summer's Commonwealth Games | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
With just two weeks to go, the 23`year`old is | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
in great form and looking forward to challenging herself against some | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
We caught up with her this lorning at the Wentworth athletics track | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
From until 28th July when L`ura lines up for her 1500 metres heat | :21:57. | :22:09. | |
it's all about making sure she is in the best condition to give herself | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
the chance of stepping on to the medal podium. At the weekend she | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
achieved an impressive fourth place finish. It's the type of race that | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
you can't expect in the fin`l, it was important to get out thdre and | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
be competitive with some of the girls that I am going to be racing | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
at the Commonwealth and European Championships. I beat the Kdnyan | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
girl who has ran quick this year and is a fantastic athlete. In ` | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
championship race anything can happen if you are in the right place | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
at the right time and fight for the line. I have had a strong whnter's | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
training and feel like I have a strong base behind me now and by the | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
time I get to both those championships I am going to be in | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
the best shape of the season and of my career. Laura's already `chieved | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
her dream of competing in the Olympics making the final in London | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
at the age of 21. There's more to come. She knocked two`and`a`half | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
seconds off her personal best in Paris a few weeks ago coming close | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
to breaking the four`minute mark. I think it's possible in the next year | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
or so, whether it happens this year I don't know. I will take | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
championship medals this ye`r. It will come in the next few ydars but | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
now the focus is the championships and getting medals. While hdr coach | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
will be trying to contain hhs nerves as he commentates on her race, her | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
proud family will be willing her on in the crowd. Very proud, yds. It's | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
a surreal feeling to think that you are sitting in the crowd and that's | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
your child out on the track running against the top in the world, best | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
in the world really. Yes, it is a good feeling. And while Laura is not | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
particularly superstitious there is one thing she won't take to the | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
track without. I always racd in a necklace my grandmother gavd me for | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
my birthday, and can't not race without it. All the best to her | :23:55. | :24:10. | |
The Aussies have used the training camp before. The last time hn the | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
run`up to London 2012. Also the Delly 2010 we were based here, as | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
well Dehli. I know Gateshead quite well. Had a competition aftdr Berlin | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
and had one of better throws here, as well. It means a fair bit to me | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
to be back here. It's a good vibe. And talking of Aussies, | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
despite a valiant effort from their Australian all`rounder | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
John Hastings Durham have lost their County Championship match against | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
Warwickshire inside three d`ys. Durham could only manage 113 second | :24:40. | :24:56. | |

please! Very good, yes. If xou believe the legend of St Swhthins, | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
if it rains today it will r`in for 40 years. She wasn't taking any | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
chances, sunhat and bucket `nd everything. Tomorrow won't be the | :25:18. | :25:20. | |

the low 20s in the sunshine. The outside chance of one or two sharp | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
showers developing. That's `n increasing risk into Friday. By that | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
time some places will be he`ding towards the mid`20s. As we head to | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
the weekend, that's the main risk of the thundery rain becoming lore | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
