:02:54. > :02:55.The Prison Officers' Association says it's not surprised

:02:56. > :02:57.by the findings of a BBC investigation,

:02:58. > :02:59.which secretly filmed widespread drug abuse and security failings

:03:00. > :03:06.A Panorama reporter spent two months undercover at

:03:07. > :03:08.HMP Northumberland near Morpeth, which is privately run.

:03:09. > :03:18.On the undercover reporter's first day inside, 2.5 kilograms of Spice,

:03:19. > :03:23.an illegal high with a prison value of quarter of a million pounds,

:03:24. > :03:32.Despite this, Panorama was told that there was no

:04:43. > :04:44.Sodexo cut their nose off with things like drugs,

:04:45. > :04:49.saying that they didn't have drug problems.

:04:50. > :04:52.If you can't catch drugs and you don't report drugs you don't

:04:53. > :04:58.I think Sodexo should have been into special measures

:04:59. > :05:02.and consideration immediately be given to taking the contract from

:05:03. > :05:16.Sodexo and that the state take control of that prison.

:05:17. > :05:20.Well earlier I asked Damian what the prison and the government had to

:05:21. > :05:23.Neither Sodexo, which is the company that runs the prison

:05:24. > :05:26.or the government, actually took part in the programme but they've

:05:27. > :05:29.Sodexo says the safety of staff and inmates is their top priority.

:05:30. > :05:32.And the Ministry of Justice said it would urgently investigate the BBC's

:06:58. > :07:09.Protests, petitions, and legal challenges have become part of the

:07:10. > :07:12.anti-fracking story over the past couple of years in North Yorkshire.

:07:13. > :07:14.But, so far, they have had little practical effect.

:07:15. > :07:19.If local councillors can't be persuaded to turn down planning

:07:20. > :07:23.permission, then elect different councillors.

:07:24. > :07:26.We've got County Council elections coming up in North Yorkshire.

:07:27. > :07:28.With several others right across the country.

:07:29. > :07:35.And we are looking for people who are going to stand in those

:07:36. > :07:37.elections for whatever political party who will, as part of their

:07:38. > :07:47.manifesto, pledge that they are anti-fracking.

:07:48. > :07:50.We need people who are going to come to County Hall who are not

:08:06. > :08:18.headquarters in Northallerton have already failed to convince

:08:19. > :08:20.councillors on this Conservative controlled planning authority who

:08:21. > :08:22.control the planning authority to turn down the one

:08:23. > :08:25.fracking application they have had to decide on so far.

:08:26. > :08:27.The real test as to whether this political initiative is going to

:08:28. > :08:30.after the local government elections.

:08:31. > :08:33.Across all those county councils, there are companies that asking them

:08:34. > :08:36.to grant permission for them to frack.

:08:37. > :08:38.Paul's here with the weather for the week ahead.

:08:39. > :08:52.The short answer is yes. But don't go writing winter off completely. As

:08:53. > :08:57.we head through this coming week. Yesterday, some cloud, a breeze and

:08:58. > :09:02.some rain but temperatures are on the rise as well. Quite a quiet

:09:03. > :09:06.night tonight. Mostly dry and the clouds are breaking up. There are

:09:07. > :09:10.some clear spells around. The combination of that patchy cloud and

:09:11. > :09:17.the East to south-easterly breeze means most places stay frost free at

:09:18. > :09:21.round about two Celsius. A dry start tomorrow, staying dry through the

:09:22. > :09:25.day. The cloud more broken in the east than it was today so many

:09:26. > :09:29.places should see some sunshine at times although it tends to cloud

:09:30. > :09:33.over from the West as we head into the evening. Top temperature, 10

:09:34. > :09:36.Celsius in the West, south-easterly winds and lighter than they have

:09:37. > :09:41.been so it should feel that bit milder. Heading into tomorrow

:09:42. > :09:44.evening, that cloud begins with some patchy rain spreading in from the

:09:45. > :09:49.south and west. It tends to die away again by the end of the night. That

:09:50. > :09:55.cloud will keep ours frost free again with five the overnight low as

:09:56. > :09:59.we head into Wednesday morning. Wednesday, misplaces dry with broken

:10:00. > :10:02.cloud and sunny intervals. Temperatures broadly speaking into

:10:03. > :10:08.double figures with highs of around pence osseous with a southerly

:10:09. > :10:14.breeze. That southerly breeze will become more south-westerly into the

:10:15. > :10:18.latter part of the week. We have weather fronts are content with, but

:10:19. > :10:21.because the wind is coming from that south-westerly direction that will

:10:22. > :10:25.help maintain those higher temperatures as we head through the

:10:26. > :10:30.second half of the week towards the weekend. Thursday, fairly cloudy on

:10:31. > :10:33.the whole with power pick enough to produce some rain at times,

:10:34. > :10:40.especially in the West. Temperatures east of the Pennines in double

:10:41. > :10:45.figures with highs of 11 Celsius in Middlesbrough, but a windy day on

:10:46. > :10:49.Thursday. Friday, a similar day in some respects, lots of cloud around,

:10:50. > :10:55.most of the rain will be in the West, the best of any bright spells

:10:56. > :11:00.in the east with highs of around about 11 Celsius. The rain much

:11:01. > :11:04.light on Friday. That is how it is looking, stay tuned to your

:11:05. > :11:05.at the weekend it will be mild. Largely dry, perhaps
