:23:15. > :23:16.mini-police got to visit Northumbria Police's marine training
:23:17. > :23:19.unit in Jarrow. Well, it's part of an initiative

:24:12. > :24:17.Can you let me out! A big experience.
:24:18. > :24:21.It has been really fun. I have seen the police boats and
:24:22. > :24:26.looked around and I even put on a diving mask.
:24:27. > :24:30.It is really good being a mini-police, I might want to be a
:24:31. > :24:32.real police when I am older. Does it make you think about the
:24:33. > :24:37.police? Before, I thought they were scary
:24:38. > :24:42.that they are my best friends. It feels good, I haven't chatted to
:24:43. > :24:46.police before. Is it possible strategy to persuade
:24:47. > :24:51.them to become police? That could be an impulse because you
:24:52. > :24:55.have been applauded for being a member of the mini-police.
:24:56. > :25:00.You can't do policing unless you work with the community. Parrots are
:25:01. > :25:08.here watching the kids. It is good that public confidence.
:25:09. > :25:11.There goes that behaviour check, a policeman will tell you off!
:25:12. > :25:26.Mostly dry weather again today, it continues the most of us as we head

:25:44. > :25:47.Tomorrow, the split will be less defined, most places dry, varying
:25:48. > :25:52.amounts of cloud. Temperatures will start to rise especially at the

:25:57. > :26:01.lot of cloud in the West. Clear spells further east.
:26:02. > :26:06.There will be enough patchy cloud and a breeze to stop temperatures in
:26:07. > :26:10.most cases dropping lower than six Celsius.
:26:11. > :26:14.Like last night, one or two places might see temperatures low enough

:26:46. > :26:49.winds stayed pretty light. This is because of this
:26:50. > :26:55.high-pressure which has been dominating over the last few days.
:26:56. > :26:59.As it shifts further eastwards, it brings in a south-westerly breeze at
:27:00. > :27:04.the weekend which will help lift temperatures. This weather front in
:27:05. > :27:06.the North West conversely will thicken the cloud at times from that
:27:07. > :27:12.direction. A mostly dry day tomorrow, the best
:27:13. > :27:16.in the east, temperatures in the low teens.
:27:17. > :27:21.With the weekend stays largely dry, some sunny spells, not unbroken
