Hello, and welcome to Thursday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Now her family are urging other women to get tested for the disease. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Even when you're 50, is still need your mum. | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
So to see a five-year-old crying for his mum is | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
As the Queen unveils a memorial, families of those who served | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars ask, "Why weren't we invited?" | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
The new recruits - Cumbria takes on its first batch | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
of full time firefighters for eight years. | :00:29. | :00:29. | |
And the town that's trying to bowl over a new generation | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Well, if you're looking to combine a sporting | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
career with an education, we've been to look at a new | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
And what does the future hold for Middlesbrough's head coach, | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
Get tested - that's the message from a family of a Teesside mum | :00:54. | :01:10. | |
who died of cancer earlier this year. | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
Ferzana Khan was due to travel to Germany from her Middlesbrough | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
home for pioneering treatment for the disease, | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
But she died before she could make the trip. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Now a campaign's been launched to encourage other women from black, | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Asian and minority backgrounds to take a smear test. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Ferzana's family say many women fail to get tested because they don't | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
know about screening, or are frightened or embarrassed. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
That's how Ferzana Kahn's family described the mother-of-four. | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
She was 41 when she died in January - three years after being diagnosed | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Now her relatives have started a campaign to encourage more women | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
from minority ethnic backgrounds to attend their smear tests. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
I think seeing what her family went through, especially young children, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
You know, it doesn't matter how old you are. | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
Even when you're 50, you still need your mum. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
So to see a five-year-old crying for his mum is | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
And there has been, you know, so many other deaths | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
within the community, people who died of cancer. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
With Ferzana, it's closer to home because she was so close to us. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
A recent survey by Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust - | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
the UK's only dedicated charity - showed 30% of Asian women didn't | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
And a third more black, Asian and minority ethnic women | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
compared to white women said they had never attended screening. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
There is a real fear around the test itself, | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
And also around what it was going to find. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
And this feeling of rather not knowing, the fear about cancer | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
and cancer being a bit of a taboo subject. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
And also embarrassment, being a really big factor in it. | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
Ferzana's family have now made a film as part of their campaign | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
to try to encourage more women to turn up for their appointments. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
What it is, Doctor, we're going to Pakistan in the morning | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Earlier screening, Ferzana's friends say, could have helped her, | :03:16. | :03:33. | |
Now a lot of people are mentioning and realising factors affect every | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
age group, it's not just the old, it's not just the young, it's | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
indiscriminate. Earlier screening, Ferzana's friends | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
say, could have helped her, allowing her more time | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
with the family Detectives investigating a report | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
of rape in Redcar last Friday, say the circumstances of the attack | :03:47. | :04:00. | |
are not as first reported. Cleveland Police say they're no | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
longer looking for two men who forced a woman and her child | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
into a vehicle on Redcar seafront. They say enquiries are ongoing | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
into an allegation of rape involving people who may have | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
known each other. Police are appealing for anyone | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
who may have seen a woman and toddler in the area | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
of Roseberry Road and Larkswood Road between 4pm and 6pm last | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Friday to get in touch. They were conflicts which saw | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
thousands of servicemen and women Today a memorial dedicated to those | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
who fought in the two wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan was unveiled | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
by the Queen in London. But some of the families of those | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
who lost loved ones say they feel We've spoken to one mother, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
whose son was killed in Iraq. More than 800 British military | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
personnel and civilians Today 2,500 people were invited | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
to this event in London There is a time for everything, and | :05:01. | :05:18. | |
a season for every activity under heaven. Of this memorial | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
commemorates... ?1 million had been | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
raised for the memorial. But some affected the most | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
by the wars did not get an invite - like Janice Procter, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
from Washington. Her son, Michael Tench, | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
was killed by a roadside I didn't even know when it was being | :05:30. | :05:41. | |
unveiled. Not any form of update to say that this was going to go ahead. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Nothing. How would you feel about that? I just kicked out of common | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
courtesy for the respect shown to all fallen, it's not parents that | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
need the recognition. It's the ones that gave all. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Among those at the service was Tony Blair. | :06:03. | :06:03. | |
The Chilcot Report last year concluded he overstated the threat | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
posed by Saddam Hussein, and sent ill-prepared | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
Absolutely sick. He sent my child, and plenty more. | :06:08. | :06:20. | |
Janice has written to the Prime Minister | :06:21. | :06:21. | |
She's organising a charity event to raise money | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
for what's being called "The Peoples' Monument | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Jog, walk, run a little from the lighthouse to the coast road into | :06:27. | :06:41. | |
Sunderland city, ending up at the square. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
There's some comfort that a monument has been dedicated to | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
But there has been controversy today. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Our region paid a heavy price in the conflicts. | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has been in Cumbria today | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
to announce road widening schemes at roundabouts near | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
?2.6 million will be spent improving traffic flows on the A66 and A595 | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
ahead of major developments in west Cumbria such as the planned | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
And he's hinted there may be bigger announcements in the future. | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
This is a start to what I believe needs to be a rolling programme | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
There's a huge investment plan down by the coast, | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
We've got to make sure that this part of Cumbria has infrastructure | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
These are two small schemes for a start - | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
It's one of our region's most vital industries, | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
Nissan and its suppliers are breaking production | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
But our car industry will need more skilled workers in the future. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
So today a training academy opened, designed to meet that challenge. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Up to 100 apprentices will be trained at the centre in Washington, | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
Training skilled workers - Britain's competitors | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Too many of our young people are leaving formal education | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
without the skills they need for today's labour market. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
In his budget this week, the Chancellor annopunced measures | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
to boost apprenticeships and a technical level qualification | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
But here in Washington, they're ahead of the game. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
These ?300,000 robots are used to make chassis parts for Nissan. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
But they're just a pricey jumble of wires and metal without a | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
human programmer - which is where these people come in. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Apprentices at a new training academy opened today | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
They will operate machinery at the back of the plant. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
The idea is they can do it in a controlled environment | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
with a quieter environment, with one-to-one training. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
So ideally when they get to the plant currently they can get | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
You can work with computers, work with software. Stay clean, | :09:02. | :09:15. | |
definitely. That part of the job is getting dirty. Personally, I like | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
that. That's what I like. Apprentices will also have to get | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
used to a time critical industry. Pat Smith on this production line | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
can be on a card in the Nissan factory in just 15 minutes. I was | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
going to go to Newcastle University. I have a place, that I came across | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the opportunity of an apprenticeship. I thought I would | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
get the vocational experience, the qualification and get paid at the | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
same time. The new facility will support around | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
100 apprentices a year, keeping us a step ahead | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
of the robots - at least for now. For the first time in eight years, | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service is taking on a batch | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
of new full-time fire fighters. Until this year, the service has | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
trained only part-time recruits But now there are new | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
full-time opportunities created by a large number | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
of retiring staff. Megan Paterson went to see | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
the latest recruits in action. These are the basic drills every | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
fire fighter learns at the start Confusing to the uninitiated eye, | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
the new recruits have to learn fast. It's been intense, yeah. You | :10:24. | :10:39. | |
definitely get tested mentally and physically. They won the best and | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
you have to deliver that. We're going home tired, but it's worth it. | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
From drills in the yard to intensive theory in the classroom, | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
the training course builds in intensity as the weeks progress. | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
Swift water rescue work, working with tides, hazardous materials, | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
road traffic collisions. As well as those emergency response | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
skills a major role for new recruits The modern-day firefighter does so | :11:02. | :11:14. | |
much more than attend 999 calls. Community safety is really the | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
fundamental element of what we're about now. Modern-day firefighter is | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
a teacher. They go into schools, colleges and different organisations | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
talking about not only fire safety, but safety on the roads. | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
The opportunity to join the Fire Service here has been long | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
I've always been an individual who likes to push myself. I'm passionate | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
about things I like to do, like looking after the community. I've | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
been a retained firefighter for 2.5 years in West Cumbria. Having that | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
experience, my passion has grown even bigger. When this opportunity | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
arose, I thought this is my chance. It's my calling, so I gave it | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
everything I had. After weekly assessments | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
and progress reviews, the new recruits will join watches | :12:02. | :12:02. | |
by the summer. Plenty still to come | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
on Thursday's Look North, including tonight's sports news | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
from Jeff Brown. Can the young be persuaded | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
to take up a sport already There is a trend towards cloudy | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
conditions as we head to work the weekend. It's certainly not all bad | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
news weather-wise. During the later for the full story. | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
A Middlesbrough primary school has put up signs asking parents to put | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
away their mobile phones and smile at their children when they pick | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
The signs at St Joseph's Roman Catholic Primary | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
School in Longlands say "greet your child with a smile not a mobile." | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
The school says it's part of an idea to get families | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
The reaction at the school gate seemed positive. | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
Were you surprised when they went off? Islands, yeah. I think it's | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
appropriate. When they come to pick their kids from school, they should | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
be here to do that and talk to them about the day, not to be chatting on | :13:17. | :13:17. | |
their phones. You know, it's wrong. More young people are being urged | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
to take up the sport of bowling after a major investment | :13:23. | :13:36. | |
in Darlington's last The Darlington Parks Bowling | :13:37. | :13:37. | |
Association has received nearly ?65,000 from Sport England | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
to improve facilities. Now they want a new generation | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
to play - and it doesn't hurt the image of the game to reveal | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
a certain Premier League football manager is a big fan of the sport, | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
as Phil Chapman discovered. it's probably fair to say Bollen's | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
always had a place at the more mature, genteel end of the spectrum. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
But with a new ground and a new lease of life, here in Darlington | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
they're getting ready for a new, younger members. What we're after is | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
retaining the members we've got, and adding to them by finding new | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
members. The game of bowls can be played by any age group from nine to | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
90, if you like. And the joys of bowling has even reached the top | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
flight of the football world. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp recently | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
visited his local club years after first being fascinated by bowling on | :14:28. | :14:38. | |
TV. Let's play bowls. I have a sports interest of green cricket, | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
next. That's too complicated. Karanka, if he wants to come along, | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
he's welcome. Just get in touch. Ill be brilliant to get them down | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
because if more people could see that they're interested in other | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
sports other than their own, then it may bring them into the game and get | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
them started younger. You can now earn a living from it. Paul Foster | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
from Scotland won the world indoor Bowls championship, human ?55,000. | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
The aim of the game is to get as many as your balls close to the jack | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
from the opposition. Sometimes when things get rowdy, you might want to | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
fire. Whatever their rage, after the new funding people can carry on | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
bowling here for years to come. -- that age. | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
Spot on, very good indeed. I don't think we are the target age for that | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
recruitment. You can play at any cage. Yes, if the measles hold. | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
Football to kick off. -- if the knees will hold. | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
Middlesbrough are in FA Cup action this weekend. | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
They take on Manchester City, at the Riverside, with a place | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
But the heat has been on head coach Aitor Karanka in recent | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
weeks, with Boro dropping into the Premier League | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
The Spaniard, though, says he has the backing | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
The Boro coach met the media today - a couple of days after meeting | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
But Karanka says they've come through worse. | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
The more difficult moment for me was when I arrived here. We lost three | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
games, we drew one. He was the first one who told me he was confident. | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
Since that day, he doesn't need to show me everyday because that day | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
was the main day for me. Which, in the crazy world of | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
football, is probably a good thing. And while some fans might want him | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
out, Karanka thinks most of them The crowd has been brilliant since I | :16:49. | :17:00. | |
arrived here. Sometimes I want more from everybody. From the players, | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
from the crowd, from everybody. But the crowd, especially, are great in | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
the bad moments. Last season we were at the top of the table and it was | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
easier. But this season, in the bad moments, they were with us. I know | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
they'll support us 100% next Saturday because they know how | :17:24. | :17:24. | |
important this game is for us. Meanwhile, ahead of Saturday's game | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
between Championship leaders Newcastle and play-off hopefuls | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
Fulham, one of the Magpies' most revered ex-managers has | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
been back on Tyneside. Kevin Keegan was in good voice too, | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
recording a re-worked version of the 1982 England World Cup song - | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
with learning-disabled athletes, due to compete at the Special | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Olympics in Sheffield. He's confident his old club will be | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
playing Premier League It's so important that they get back | :17:42. | :17:54. | |
in the Premier League. I think they'll do that this year, so win | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
the league. It's tough, but it's a big enough club to carry it. It's | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
got all this fantastic support, although I think there's a couple of | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
Sunderland supporters amongst the slot! Is definitely at least one | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
Newcastle, because he's got his shirt on. | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
A secondary school in Tyne and Wear has become the latest to launch | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
The hope is to identify and nurture talented athletes - | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
at the same time, helping them fulfil their academic potential. | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Support will include mentoring and coaching, physiotherapy, | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
the chance to work with elite athletes and, soon, | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
One of the sporting celebrities at Thorp Academy in Ryton, | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
near Gateshead, for last night's official launch couldn't have had | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
Graeme Storm, who's been involved in a similar scholarship scheme | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
at Dyke House College in his hometown of Hartlepool, | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
beat Rory McIlroy in a play-off at the South African Open | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
to claim his first European Tour victory since 2007. | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Double Olympic medal-winning swimmer Nick Gillingham retired | :18:51. | :19:03. | |
From a personal point of view, I've got no education to fall back on. | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Golf is my life and I'm fortunate enough to have lived my life to do | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
really, really well. Speaking to the kids, I know how hard it can be. I | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
know that a plan B is always needed. Double Olympic medal-winning | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
swimmer Nick Gillingham retired just when the lottery funding which | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
has transformed Great Britain's He'll help roll out Thorp's | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
swimming programme - Those wanting to pursue a sporting | :19:24. | :19:35. | |
career can actually have a balance between a sporting life and the | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
academic life. If you were to look outside of schools like this, then | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
it's really the public schools that provide that. I'm really genuinely | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
excited to be involved. How inspiring is it to hear likewise | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
like this? It's really inspiring. If we keep hard at it, we will achieve | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
our goals eventually. It is positive because I'm going to stay for sixth | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
form. It means I can progress and when Adam and. | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
The Elite Performer Programme at a soon to be re-furbished Thorp | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
will also provide football coaching, offered by a small team | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
of ex-professional players well known to Boro and Sunderland fans. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
It's something that I enjoy, I wake up in the morning and the first | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
thing I look forward to do is coaching. And hopefully developing | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
young people. We want them to aspire to go to the top spot in | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
universities in the country once they have done their GCSEs and | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
A-levels, so the academic side has to be working for them. | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Cricket fans in the region have thrown their support behind Durham, | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
despite the club's relegation and points deduction - | :20:43. | :20:43. | |
that was the ECB's punishment in return for a financial bailout | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
But membership, at this stage of the year, is up 5%. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
And, while a lot are new members trying to do their bit to help | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
the club, a number of lapsed members have re-joined, too. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
Now to what scientists hope will be a giant leap for mankind | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
A spectacular event taking place in Durham right now is marking | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
the official opening of an ?11.5 million university | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
building, which will house some of the world's greatest scientists. | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
Their mission is to unravel some of the greatest | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
Our reporter, Sharon Barbour, is there - and has just | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
Wink-macro Helio outside the garden centre For Fundamental Physics at | :21:28. | :21:42. | |
Durham University. In a moment we're going to speak to a world-renowned | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
architect who has just flown in from New York. First, let's find out | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
about what this building is going to be doing. I'm joined by a | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
cosmologist. Tell me why it's so exciting to have this building here. | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
I had the privilege of working at Durham University for 30 years. I | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
can say without hesitation this is the most exciting day in 30 years. | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
We're opening a wonderful new building. All 150 astronomers in | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
this university will be under one roof. Here there is nothing more or | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
nothing less than trying to understand how the universe works, | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
how the universe came to be in the first place, but as the universe | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
contain, how does it evolve, where two galaxies and eventually stars, | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
planets and one-day us come from? The big questions that we try to | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
answer as well as we can inside this wonderful new building. Huge | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
question is, indeed. Now the question for you was to create a | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
building. Tell us what you've done with the building? I wanted to | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
create a building that belongs to the traditions of Durham. It has the | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
best cathedral in the world. A building that is robust, but also | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
soft. It has the beauty of Durham. Scholars and students will be | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
spending nights here, so I wanted to make it not an institutional | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
building, but really a home with wood, one materials, with the | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
pleasure and joy of being in the world of the intellect. -- warm | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
materials. It's really to have a building for people to enjoy being | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
here at this great university. It's such an honour, because you are such | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
a famous architect. But there's a light display which is just about to | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
kick off to mark this opening tonight here at Durham University. | :23:41. | :23:56. | |
This display is being designed by Ross Ashton, who also designed | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
Lumiere. It begins with the 18th-century County Durham | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
astronomer Thomas Wright, because he was the first person, he's from | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
Durham, here in the north-east, and he was the first person to shape the | :24:16. | :24:16. | |
Milky Way. -- Thomas Ryde. For now, back to you | :24:17. | :24:31. | |
in the studio. It is looking good. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
The nearest we have two scientist is Paul with his fancy satellite. | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
The weather does obey the laws of physics. There is a distinctly | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
springlike fealty the weather at the moment, as shown in your weather | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
pictures. Some lovely daffodils on the Solway Coast in Cumbria, thanks | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
to Brian for that one. Moving east, the graph is blowing in that gusty | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
wind earlier in the day on the coast of South Shields. -- the grass. | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
Finally, some lovely evening colours looking towards was brewery. A lot | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
more cloud. That picture was taken a few days ago, but it sets the scene | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
for the next few days. We are expecting more clout in the sky. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
There will be something, not huge amounts. -- more clout. A chilly | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
night to get out of the way first, because we have those lovely blue | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
skies today and clear skies as we had the evening. For a good part of | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the might as well. Any heat that has built up through the day radiates | :25:38. | :25:47. | |
away. Cold enough for a touch of ground frost. One or two mist | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
patches in the valley bottoms of the Headingley tomorrow morning of. Wind | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
daylight through the night. Most places. The dre -- thickening up | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
over time from the West. It will bring spits and spots of rain and | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
drizzle, which will become more widespread across Cumbria and the | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
Scottish Borders later in the day. We're not expecting huge amounts of | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
rain. Down in places, and certainly more cloud than there has been over | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
the last couple of days. The winds light from a southerly direction, | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
and we will see temperatures make it into the double figures. 10-11 | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
Celsius into the afternoon. That is the picture for tomorrow. The cold | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
front followers into Saturday, bringing rain for a time. That | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
begins to clear away, but it's followed fairly quickly by another | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
front coming from the West into the second part of the weekend. This | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
weather from spring and the frontier, a lot of clad in | :26:47. | :26:58. | |
general. Patchy rain, but most places are dry for the bulk of the | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
day. Double-figure temperatures to the weekend as well, even though | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
that cloud is much thicker. Most of us will see rain for a time on | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
Saturday, drier and writer from the north-west of the day goes on. | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
Fairly cloudy skies on the whole. The heaviest of any rain in the | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
West. Temperatures in two double figures and the winds are fairly | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
light. You can keep up to date with the focus on your BBC local radio | :27:29. | :27:29. | |
