Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The man caught up in the Westminster terror attacks speaks | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
of the moment he tried to save a police officer's life. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
When I'd seen the guy the gate, two knives in the, attacking, the | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
decision was made, get over and give assistance. | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
The former top boss at Middlesbrough Council tells | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
a tribunal there was no cover-up over the sale of prize buildings. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
A council's threatening to withdraw collections | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
And in the sport we are live with one of Sunderland's most famous | :00:35. | :00:52. | |
strikers at the city's -- at one of the most famous buildings in the | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
city. The region's MPs and police forces | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
have made a plea for unity and calm in the face of yesterday's terrorist | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
attack at Westminster. They were speaking as it emerged | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
that a north-east boxing trainer was one of the first to come | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
to the scene of the fatal Our political correspondent, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Luke Walton, reports. A routine afternoon for the mother | :01:11. | :01:25. | |
of Parliaments, transformed in moment to tragedy. Parliamentarians, | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
tourists and visitors forced to bear witness to terrible violence. Among | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
them, GB boxing team coach Tony Davis who rushed to help having seen | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
the attacker close-up. He brandished two knives, attacking one of the | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
policemen. That's the decision I took to then leap the fence and try | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
to get persistent in any way I could. Mr Vigurs tended to the | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
fatally injured list officer. I tried to stem the blood flow with my | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
jacket, checked his pulse and made sure he was breathing. To die in the | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
fashion he did it is totally unjust. His was one many acts of bravery and | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
in the Commons today, tributes to the police and parliamentary | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
officials. Yesterday two of my constituents were caught up in the | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
attacks, one of whom was eight months pregnant, and they have asked | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
me to pass on their gratitude and thanks to the house staff and the | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
police for the consideration with which they were treated during the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
five hour lockdown. That personal impact was also felt by another | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
north-east MP. Back in the region this afternoon. I'm very upset, we | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
were aware pretty quickly that people had died, not only on the | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
bridge but also one of the policemen who looks after us in the House of | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Commons who we see everyday. The most important thing is that, whilst | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
we remain vigilant, we make it abundantly clear that these people, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
whether it was one individual terrorist or a group, do not deviate | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
us from living our normal lives. And the plea for calm and unity in the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
face of terror was echoed by a Teesside MP. The worst possible | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
scenario is that people turn on each other, on people of different faiths | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
or communities, they turn on foreigners. We don't know the | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
situation here and we need to make sure that everything is good about | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
our society, our strength and tolerance and openness, our welcome, | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
is something we value. It was a day that saw the worst happen but also | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
saw the best side of human nature on full display. Luke Walton, BBC Look | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
North. Our police forces say there is no | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
specific threat to our region Nevertheless, security | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
measures are being assessed. Quite clearly we constantly monitor | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
what the level of threat is and that level of threat has not increased | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
here in County Durham or Darlington. What we're doing is increasing our | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
profile in certain areas around areas which we keep confidential | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
and to ourselves to provide additional reassurance | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
to the communities. I think the key response | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
I want to stress here is about communities staying | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
together through all of this. Because the best method of tackling | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
terrorist attacks like this is through community intelligence, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
community feeding Here at Northumbria Police | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
headquarters, the flag has been lowered in respect of those | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
who lost their lives In efforts to keep the public safe, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Northumbria Police has increased its armed officer | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
recruitment by 50% in the last year giving the force more | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
than 100 firearms officers. Armed officers are already visible | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
in some of our key shopping areas. In a statement today, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Northumbria Police said... We are bringing a group of students | :04:48. | :05:06. | |
from our country, from Spain, and of course when you think | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
the parents are watching the news from abroad, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
they might be worried and of course it makes you think that it | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
could be any of us. If you stop going, | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
you are giving in to them. As policing is stepped up | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
across our communities, including at key locations | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
like York Minster and railway stations, | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
we are urged to stay vigilant. Well Stockton North's MP, | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Alex Cunningham, was in London this morning and has just arrived | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
back on Teesside. He joins me now from our | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Middlesbrough newsroom. If you could briefly tell us what | :05:46. | :05:57. | |
happened to you yesterday? I had just voted in the lobby and sat back | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
down in front of the dispatch box. I realised there was something | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
happening and the deputy speaker just suspended the house. Sorry, you | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
have some trouble with your inner peace, I hope you can hear me. There | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
have been some reports and debate today that maybe those front line | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
officers at the gate should be armed. What is your opinion on that? | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
I'm not sure about that. The chaps there did a tremendous job, I'm not | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
sure having more armed policeman directly on the gate would have | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
stopped what happened. The security services were absolutely fantastic. | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
They train all the time for things like this. And they actually | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
delivered on the things they were trained to do. We had the terrible | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
tragedy and we looked at what happened to that young policeman and | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
our hearts go out to all of them. I know you attended an event in London | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
today before travelling home, but is there a sense that MPs might feel | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
vulnerable? Do you feel vulnerable as an MP? Some people say we should | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
always feel vulnerable and always feel vigilant but the idea is that | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
we must get on with our jobs and not allow these sort of incident to get | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
in the wake of us representing the people and doing what we are | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
supposed to do. The message is the same for everybody across the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
country as well, we must not allow people to get in the wake of us | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
getting on with our British way of life. Alex Cunningham, thank you for | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
joining us, we are glad you are safe and sound. | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
"There was no corruption and no cover-up." | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
The words of the former chief executive of Middlesbrough Council | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
after claims it sold some its prized buildings below the market value. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
49-year-old Karen Whitmore, a former Assistant Director | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
of Organisation and Governance, is taking the council | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
to an employment tribunal after she was made redundant last | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
She claims she was targeted after raising concerns about the way | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Karen Whitmore claims she was targeted because she refused | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
to turn a blind eye to the flawed way that the council was selling off | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
She said she was told to cover up and hide information about the way | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
the council handled the sale Acklam Hall after council | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
officials agreed a price reduction of ?1.2 million. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
She also raised concerns about the way Middlesbrough's Tad Centre | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
was sold to Ray Mallon's election agent for ?400,000. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
This despite the fact it was valued at up to ?900,000 | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
and there was a higher offer on the table. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
Giving evidence to the tribunal, Middlesbrough's former chief | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
executive said there had been no cover-up and no corruption. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Mike Robinson said he had actually asked Karen to investigate | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
the sale of Acklam Hall because there were accusations | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
flying around on social media and in the press. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
He said she was never asked to hide facts and actually came back | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
within a few weeks to say there had been no illegal | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Mr Robinson said he had little involvement in the Tad Centre | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
but said the preferred bidder had carried out a successful similar | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Mike Robinson was then asked about the laddish culture | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
that was said to have set in at Middlesbrough Council | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
during his time as chief executive between 2014 and 2016. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
The tribunal had been told earlier that senior managers had referred | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
He said he didn't recognise that language or that behaviour. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
He said Middlesbrough Council was a good place to work and people | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
He says he also was unaware of any bullying that had taken place | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
at the council during his time as chief executive. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
The tribunal is expected to continue into next week. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Stuart Whincup, BBC Look North, Middlesbrough. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
Cumbria has been identified as the worst area in England when it | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
comes to patients stranded in hospital when they | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Figures collected by the BBC found that, on average between April 2016 | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
and January this year, 103 beds every day were taken up | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
by patients who didn't need to be in hospital but couldn't be | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
discharged because of a lack of care to support them at home. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
A stay in hospital, seldom looked forward to. | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
For every patient here there is one key aim - | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
I've got a wife at home and she's very anxious for me to be at home. | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
William's being helped by the Home First Team, | :10:40. | :10:49. | |
a mix of health and social care professionals who work | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
with the voluntary sector to get patients home again. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
The process begins as soon as they're admitted to hospital. | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
There's nothing that can describe being able to promote someone's | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
independence and getting them back home. | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
Being in hospital makes people more dependent, | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
basically makes people less able to do things for themselves. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
A delayed return home doesn't just reduce independence. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
It can have a lasting physical impact. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
This is a particular problem in Cumbria - | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
Anyone over 80 years old who spent ten days in an Acute Hospital | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
is equivalent to ten years of muscle wasting. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
So if you imagine your relative who is maybe just struggling | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
to get up into standing, if they stay in hospital for ten | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
If you can't stand, you can't live at home so you probably | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
The demand for the Home First Team is high here. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Yesterday, looking at figures, of the 553 beds here in Carlisle | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
and at the hospital in Whitehaven, 88 of those were being used | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
by people who were medically fit but had nowhere else to go, | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
something the trust admits is unacceptable. | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
Quite a lot of the care market, if I can put it that way, | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
in this area, is under pressure and beds have been closing | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
so we are going to have to find new ways of responding | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
People who hear this news will automatically say, well, | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
we do have beds in community hospitals and some of those | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
In a sense that is part of the problem. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
I understand completely what people say about that. | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
Just to make a clear point, if I may, which is that none | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
of those beds would be lost until alternatives are in place. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Cumbria County Council says it takes the delays | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Over the next three years it'll get almost ?22 million | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
from the government to meet rising social care costs, used in part | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
to speed up the move from hospital to home. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Megan Paterson BBC Look North, Carlisle. | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
Two people have been charged with kidnapping two | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
The two-year-old boy and five-year-old girl were picked | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
up in Newcastle by a female relative on Tuesday morning. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
A 33-year-old man and a woman who's 24 appeared before magistrates | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
charged with two counts of kidnap and will return to Newcastle Crown | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
The children were not believed to have been in immediate danger | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
We're sorry, but on last night's Look North we showed pictures | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
of a school completely unconnected with this case. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
People who fail to sort their recycling are facing "a four | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
strikes and you're out" policy in parts of North Yorkshire. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
Hambleton District Council has introduced the new tough | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
measure to control the rise in contaminated household recycling. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
The cost of sorting and disposing of bad recycling is costing | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
At this collection and sorting centre in Hambleton, | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
the list of things people have absentmindedly thrown | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
into their recycling bins is endless. | :13:43. | :13:43. | |
We'll show you some examples of the stuff that shouldn't be | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
If we open the lid up, we will see that some of the common | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
contaminants are things like clothing, which should be | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
put in clothing banks at supermarkets etc. | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
We do recycle glass but it has to be put in the separate box | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
Loads of nappies, loads of nappies, used ones. | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
And this is what happens from now on if you fail | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
The first time, we leave a leaflet explaining what can and can't | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
The second time, we leave a letter, again explaining what can and can't | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
The third time, we write a letter to the property owner telling them | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
The fourth time, we remove the service temporarily. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
We really want people to have as much opportunity to get it right | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
as possible and that is why, when we find contamination, | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
we are not removing the service straightaway, we're giving people | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
To be a good recycler you can't go far wrong by sticking to clean | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
paper and cardboard, clean plastic containers | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
Last year, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council launched a scheme | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
rewarding people with gym and swimming vouchers for good | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
recycling and for at least some people here in Hambleton, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
What goes in the green bin, what goes in the black bin, | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
what goes in the bin with the blue lid. | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
You just follow the instructions and you won't get it wrong. | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
You've got a little leaflet to look at so you should be able | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
to get the right things in if you've kept it. | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Phil Chapman, BBC Look North, Northallerton. | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
The first ever trade mission from South Africa to the north east | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Seventeen companies are visiting the region along with dignitaries | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
and a regional economic minister in an attempt to find | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
mutual business and investment opportunities. | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
Our business correspondent, Ian Reeve, reports. | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
We are, as I say, just delighted to welcome you. | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
A spiritual interlude for the 17 South African business leaders | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
here on the first trade mission from that country to the north-east. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
They are here to drum up trade, make contacts. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
But today, a tour of Durham Cathedral. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Yet for Justin, business is never too far from his thoughts. | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
Big Box Car is a social development enterprise that provide | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
retail and working spaces where entrepreneurs can grow. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
This company takes shipping containers and turns them | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
into retail units in South Africa's townships, something | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
The prospects for us is really finding great partners to be able | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
to launch into the UK through the north-east | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
chamber and there is really a hunger for it here. | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
And I know in particular Newcastle has put a lot of work into urban | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
renewal and we really want to jump in and assist with our model | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
This man is looking for investment in his call centre company. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
The intention is to get foreign direct investment | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
back into our country because we are a developing economy. | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
I believe that both parties involved, us as business | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
and the government at home, will definitely reap the rewards. | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
The South Africans from the province of KwaZulu Natal are | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
The trip builds on existing business links between Durban and Newcastle | :17:07. | :17:16. | |
and its chambers of commerce, but given extra focus by Brexit. | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
We know of a number of businesses that are exploring market right | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
now that they never considered previously. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
Knowing they have got to keep their businesses moving, | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
that the European market is an uncertain place having been | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
And to further extend the hand of commerce, | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
Gateshead's Millennium Bridge has been lit in South Africa's colours | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
for the duration of the mission, a beacon for business. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Time for sport now and Jeff's in Sunderland to give us a bit | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
Carol, I'm inside one of the city's great buildings, | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
Monkwearmouth Station, built in 1848 for George Hudson, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
the man they called "The Railway King". | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
The station closed 50 years ago this month, March 1967. | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
Well, for many years it's been a railway museum but the plan | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
is to reopen it as a museum dedicated to Sunderland | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
And Michael Ganley - the man behind it - | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
is with me now, along with someone every Sunderland fan will recognise. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
We'll come to Kevin Phillips in just a minute. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
I know you have been looking for a home for your collection, how are | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
the plans going? Everything has been going smoothly. We have been in | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
talks with the City Council for nine months and we are just about to sign | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
on the dotted line to say that we will be the new tenant of | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
Monkwearmouth station. And tell us some of the things in your | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
collection. I have got Martin O'Neill's underpants! We have got a | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
very diverse collection, not just of shirts and boots, but it is so | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
diverse and New Year -- unit, going from medals, turnstiles, seats, | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
boardroom chairs from Roker Park. That sounds great. And with the is a | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
man who is a huge part of Sunderland history, record goal-scorer Kevin | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
Phillips. You are a big part of the club's history. You haven't got my | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
underpants! I am always delighted to come back to Sunderland and coming | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
back to help out Michael, we have been friends for a long time, I love | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
coming back and as you say, I have a great part of Sunderland in my heart | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
and it will always stay there. And you played for a long time until you | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
were nearly 40 so you will know what Jermain Defoe is going through, 34 | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
and still doing the job you did, almost single-handedly keeping the | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
club going. He did not play for England last night but it is a hard | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
burden. It is that you can see they top quality professional and what | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
you can achieve if you look after yourself. If it wasn't for him, | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Sunderland might be in trouble. Let's hope he comes back from | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
England fully fit and can score a few more goals between now and the | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
end of the season but he thoroughly deserved his call-up. Will they stay | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
up? I have to states confident, they have done it by the skin of their | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
teeth so let's hope they can go on another amazing run and stay up. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Thank you, Kevin and good luck with the project, Michael. | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
Well, Sunderland fan Paul Collingwood was leading | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
Durham's cricketers in their latest match at the Emirates T20 | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
The skipper did OK, top scoring with 41 for the Jets. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
But the pre-season fixture ended in defeat against | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
Ryan Pringle was the last man out with Durham, | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
who'd been chasing a victory target of 144, eventually | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
That's all for now, I'm back with all of the sport tomorrow looking | :20:55. | :21:13. | |
ahead to the weekend's action. Paul has news for something I cannot | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
pronounce! It is world meteorological Bay! It is | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
understanding clouds so let's have a look at a lovely picture, this was | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
at the beach with some lovely stratocumulus. And lovely weather | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
coming up as we head to the weekend with high-pressure keeping is mostly | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
dry with some sunny spells in the day but chilly nights. The cloud was | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
reluctant to break, we expected Sony spelt this afternoon in eastern | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
areas and many hung on to the cloud. It will become more fragmented | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
tonight and with clear spells, temperatures go down to zero itself | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
is so a touch of frost in places and one or two patches of mist and fog. | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Where you keep the cloud, the temperature is called up a few | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
degrees above freezing. Tomorrow, chilly start in places but dry and | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
it should stay dry through the day. One or two patches of cloud and | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
something high cloud as well but generally speaking dry and bright | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
with plenty of sunshine for many of us and warmer as well with | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
temperatures making 11 or 12 Celsius, the low 50s Fahrenheit. And | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
the fact that the winds are much lighter and it will feel warmer if | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
you are out and about. We have high-pressure building over the top | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
of the country in the next few days and that dominates the weather chart | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
heading through the weekend and probably into the next working week. | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Nothing will change quickly over the weekend. After the final date for | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
most of us tomorrow it stayed similar as we head into Saturday. | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
And if anything, a bit more sunshine on Saturday with temperatures up to | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
13 or 14 and again, with light winds it will feel warm through the | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
afternoon. But those clear spells will allow the temperatures to drop | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
overnight so they could be frost again on Saturday night. Most places | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
will be fine and dry on Sunday, a bit more clout in the east than the | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
West and that is where we will have the highest temperatures, up to | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
about 14 Celsius in Carlisle -- a bit more cloud. You can keep | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
up-to-date on your local BBC radio station. Thank you, that is it from | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
us this evening, we will be back at 10:30pm with the latest for you. | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
Join us then. Goodbye. | :23:40. | :23:42. |
