Thank you. We are in Bradford. We'll be remembering the night ten | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
years ago when thousands rioted on the streets of Bradford. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
And has anything changed since then - we'll be looking at efforts to | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
keep the peace in Manningham. Also on Look North tonight: The | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Leeds camper thought to have died from carbon monoxide poisoning - | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
caused by a charcoal barbecue. And a sea of red - the secret | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
behind why our poppy fields are blooming lovely. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |

more detailed look coming up Ten years ago the city of Bradford | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
suffered the worst-ever single night of rioting on the British | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
mainland. A thousand mainly Asian youths attacked police with petrol | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
bombs and anything they could get their hands. Cars were torched and | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
buildings burned down in a nine- hour orgy of violence in the | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Manningham district. Here are a few of the statistics that tell part of | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
the story. One thousand police officers were | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
drafted in from 10 police forces to deal with the trouble. A total of | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
�10 million worth of damage. More than 300 people faced 2906 charges | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
and nobody was acquitted in court. The threat of right-wing extremists | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
coming to town had gathered the crowds. But gangs of youths then | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
turned their full anger on the police. Our Crime Correspondent | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :01:51. | ||
The night that Bradford burned. The worst riots the city had ever seen. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
It had followed a Saturday of tension. Hundreds of anti-fascist | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
demonstrators had awaited the threat of the National Front | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
appearing in the city. They never did. But just one reported incident | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
of Asians being insulted, and the riot seeds were sown. It began here | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
outside City Hall with a hail of A city centre clash between youths. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Police were on high alert. Tempers were rising. As police chased | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
demonstrators, less than a mile away close to Lumb Lane, the start | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
of nine hours of out and out rioting - the worst on mainland | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
Britain in twenty years. First the fight to keep gangs of young Asian | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
men away from the city centre. Then the long struggle to break them up. | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
A few yards forward, then police were repeatedly beaten back. They | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
are not from here, they are often out of town. It would be stupid to | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
destroy our own area. There is real anger. The release of anger and | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
tension. It was the battle for control of White Abbey Road, one of | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
the main thoroughfares in and out of Bradford. This has raged now for | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
five hours. As fast as police charge up, the rioters charged them | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
back. Missiles and petrol bombs are being thrown. This is, at the | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
minute, a sustained assault on the police. Up Whetley Hill towards the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
ring road. Stolen, driverless cars sent flying down into the police | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
And finally potentially the most deadly act of all. Manningham | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
Labour Club set on fire, drinkers still inside. They will burn us | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
alive. With peace eventually restored the scars revealed next | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
day were deep-ten million pounds damage. Families turned in rioting | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
sons. Hundreds went through the courts in the following months. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
Sentences were tough. For all those involved in that night of mayhem, | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
and for those who were witnesses to it, ten years on the memories | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:34. | ||
Have things changed? We will be talking to Harry. Perhaps the worst | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
single incident of the riots was the burning down of the Manningham | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Ward Labour Club. It was set alight whilst 23 people were still inside. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
They took shelter in the cellar before eventually being rescued. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Today the site stands empty but Look North has taken two club | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
:04:57. | :05:14. | ||
This is something I wrote about the night in my diary. Manning and was | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
burnt down tonight, the problem started at 11:30pm. 25 of us ended | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
up in the cellar. The Asians set the club bonfire. -- the club on a | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
fire. We were isolated. We had no idea what was happening on outside | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
or the extent of the damage. We had no idea. There was no windows. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
could not believe we were sitting in there the night before having a | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
drink, talking end being friendly and watching the telly and this | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
happened. 1.5 hours later police with riot shields and fire brigade | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
came and told us to come out side. One hour and 40 minutes we have | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
been standing there. They were trying to burn us alive. Suddenly I | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
was aware I was not as infallible as I thought. And it was quite | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
possible to lose your life. I was really, really upset. It was like a | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
bereavement. We have a new club now but it is not the same. We have | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
lost the old people there used to come in, the old community. It is | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
not the same and will never be the same. Never. I cannot honestly | :06:47. | :06:57. | |
:06:57. | :06:58. | ||
say... That I feel any bitterness whatsoever. No, I don't. I am sad | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
and upset but... I felt bitter to begin with but it has gone. The | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
club has gone. There is nothing you can do about it. I was grateful no | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
:07:19. | :07:23. | ||
Ten years ago there were many predictions that there would be | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
more civil unrest in Bradford but actually the city has been peaceful | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
for the last decade. And Manningham, where we are tonight, now has one | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
of the lowest crime rates in the city. The big test though came last | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
August when the English Defence League held a huge rally in the | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
city centre. Many feared trouble would erupt again and there would | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
be another riot but it didn't happen. Spencer Stokes has been | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
finding out why. A decade ago the police were on the | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
receiving end of brutal aggression, angry Asian young men targeted | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
eight force widely seen as the enemy. Today, on the same streets | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
it is quiet and police are building bridges. Specialist teams tackle | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
crime by talking to residents and developing a sense of trust. I see | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
parents pointing at me and children and say behave or he would take you | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
away. We do not want a message, we want, go to that police officer, | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
that individual and they will help you. In 2001, four officers were on | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
the beat, now there are 40. It has one of the lowest crime rates in | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
Bradford. A we occasionally have a cup of tea and biscuits with them. | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
Talking to me, they see as beyond police, we are part of the family. | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
Manning and seems to have walked -- moved on. This man was sentenced to | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
four years for throwing stones. Realistically, I cannot remember | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
how I got dragged into it. There was a lot of crowd frenzy, a | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
massive crowd, the way I think about it is it is something that | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
happened, something that should not have happened. But it is something | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
we have moved on from. Today, he works were social inclusion project | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
that tries to prevent disaffected teenagers becoming the writers of | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
the future. Some of the young people through our doors, they have | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
the same difficulties I had. I have experienced the difficulties and I | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
am here to stay calm down and find a way to work the problem and find | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
a solution. That is the key to bridging the barrier and there is | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
nothing to stop it happening again. The test came last August, the | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
English Defence League held a demonstration, many feared violence | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
would erupt again and a decade of progress we go up in smoke but the | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
event passed off peacefully. Members of the community came out | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
and approached officers and gave him a food and things like that. | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
The officers were taken aback to be approached in a way. That is a real | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
demonstration of the community spirit. So, 10 years on, the | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
streets are safer, the community Kamel. The right ingredients | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
perhaps to prevent another riot -- a calmer community. Incredible | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
changes there. The crime rate has been dropping and recross now to | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
Harry with an audience you are entertaining. You know the area as | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
well as I do. I wonder if you'd be surprised to know the iconic images | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
of that night, the BMW garage which was literally 50 or 60 yards away, | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
it is now a brand new shopping arcade. And here, this was a DIY | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
store. My colleague, Spencer, remembers the looters going in and | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
coming out with electrical goods. With me is the senior investigating | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
officer during the riots. And also Mohammed. A lot of criticism about | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
the severity of the sentences, in hindsight, what you think? If you | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
think about it, it was the biggest prosecution ever for riots. 200 men | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
were convicted and it was in the context of the overall picture. An | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
average of four years have given up for the writers was reasonable. 326 | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
officers were injured and there was �10 million damage to the city. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
Mohammed, tell me would your perception is? I think the | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
community has moved on and the people involved have moved on. I | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
have criticism of local authorities and institutions that have not | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
moved on in terms of the report. We are good schools in Bradford which | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
are segregated and we need to do more about integrating different | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
communities. But this afternoon, I was warmly welcomed by everybody. | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
The community is a welcoming one. The community is and the community | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
wants to integrate but we can only integrate if the schools reflect | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
the society we live in. When you look up the road but the old | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
disused mills, they are flats, there is a vibrancy about the place. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
As I said earlier, the community are willing to work and are looking | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
at investing in the area. We need to do more around education, | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
engagement and encouragement and integration because that will be | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
important for the kids growing up in a British society. On reflection, | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
did the police do anything wrong that night but perhaps 10 years on | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
they would be different? opposite, it was a pointless right. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Nobody wanted right-wing troublemakers. The police had a | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
banning order stopping the right wing of troublemakers coming in. We | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
turned them away from the train station. There was a problem with | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
communication, I accept that but we wanted the same thing and we want | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
the same thing now. I head Mohammed and myself and others are working | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
together. I care about Bradford, too. Thank you. Tomorrow, Radio | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Leeds will be devoting its coverage to what happened here. They'll be | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
looking at the present and future as well. | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
I know you are also reporting tonight. A 30-year-old West | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Yorkshire woman found dead at a holiday campsite in East Anglia is | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
thought to have died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
charcoal barbecue. The body of Hazel Woodhams, from Huddersfield, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
was found at Clippesby Hall, near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk yesterday | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:20. | ||
morning. Our reporter Dawn Gerber What can you tell us about what | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
happened? Today, officers from the joint Norfolk and Suffolk major | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
investigations team are continuing the investigation into double that | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
in her thirties. She has been named as Hazel Woodhams and she was a | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
scene of crime officer for West Yorkshire. She was holidaying here | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
with her partner. The couple were having a barbecue, of which they | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
then moved inside the tent. It was still smouldering and it is thought | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
the fumes from the burning embers built up and killed her. So far, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
port -- post mortem results are inconclusive, but results suggested | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
his carbon monoxide poisoning. Police are now waiting for | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
toxicology results, which will be carried out over the next few weeks. | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
They are warning other campers over the risks of having a charcoal | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
barbecues within an enclosed space. Hazel Woodhams family have been | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
informed of her death and of being supported. Her partner is still in | :15:18. | :15:27. | |
hospital and being treated. Thank you very much. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
One of Scarborough's largest companies is trying to find a buyer | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
or an investor to secure its future. Printing firm Pindar employs 350 | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
people in North Yorkshire - but the company posted losses of �1.9 | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
million last September. The family- owned business was founded in 1836 | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
and specialises in catalogues. first indication of interest is | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
strong. We are working in a very hard sector of the industry at the | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
moment. We have been fighting what has felt like a losing battle on | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
foreign ground for a number of years. I think the best that can | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
happen is there is a buyer at there. It may not necessarily be in the UK, | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
it could be a global company, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. We | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
are in the dark, we are just praying somebody will come forward. | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
Police have named the teenager killed when he was electrocuted at | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
a disused power station in Leeds. 16-year-old Ryan Woolmans was | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
fatally injured when he apparently touched a high voltage cable. It's | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
suspected he was trying to steal copper cable. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Pupils at a West Yorkshire school have taken part in a full-scale | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
exercise to test the response of the emergency services. Sowerby | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Bridge High was evacuated for Operation Albert. There was a | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
demonstration on the roof, a fire and pupils and staff were "held | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
hostage". Our high streets have seen big-name | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
stores closing week after week. But here in Yorkshire, we've got a | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
home-grown success story. Poundworld has just opened new | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
headquarters and has plans for 40 new shops this year alone. Not bad | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
for a company that began life as a Wakefield market stall. Our | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
correspondent Alan Whitehouse has the story. | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
One of the few smiles she will see on the High Street today. The | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
retail trade is in bid trouble, as shoppers close their purses. But | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
not here. The Huddersfield Poundworld store is bustling, so | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
what is the winning formula? There is some good stuff, and it is cheap. | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
The same quality you can get from other shops, but it is expensive. | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
Everybody likes a bargain. Bargains galore. It is �1! Poundworld is on | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
a roll. The company has just moved into a huge new headquarters with | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
double the amount of space. And it is planning 40 new shops, just as | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
many big retail names are closing them. It feels like a crazy | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
strategy. Alec year-on-year figures are up every year, for the last | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
four or five years. Every year, we are up on the year before, so I | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
think we are progressing fine and bucking the trend. What is the | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
secret? A good value, customer service and good value. Poundworld | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
sells over 4,000 products, all of them priced at �1 or less. Many of | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
them come from China, where the company has opened two offices. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
There is 210,000 ft of storage space, 28,000 pallets, all crammed | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
with goods costing just �1 each. It represents a huge investment at a | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
time when the rest of the retail sector is on its knees. And the | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
family have run company has plans for even more expansion over the | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
next three years, creating around 3,000 jobs in the process. | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
That is certainly good news. Let's turn to sport now. If you | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
call yourself a Yorkshire cricket fan, have we got some good news for | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
you. It hasn't been a good season so far, and many people blame it | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
all on the fact that Jacques Rudolph isn't playing this time. | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
But, as Paul Ogden's about to tell us, that's all about to change. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
Well, the mood has also changed amongst Yorkshire fans as the news | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
filters through to the crowd here tonight. Yorkshire are playing | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Leicestershire, and they are off at the moment because of the bad | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
weather, but the talk is all about the return of Jacques Rudolph. He | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
is not here tonight, but he will be in a couple of weeks, and that will | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
satisfy a great yearning that has been in the hearts of Yorkshire | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
fans, who have really suffered through the opening of the season | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
in all competitions. How have they done it? Why would they want to | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
bring Jacques Rudolph back? The season started full of youthful | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
promise, as the Tykes beat Gloucestershire. Since then, | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Yorkshire have struggled and are near the bottom of the table in all | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
three county competitions. So in their hour of need, they have | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
called on an old friend. Jacques Rudolph scored over 8,000 runs for | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
Yorkshire in four seasons. As well as his big scores, the South | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
African's leadership has been missed. Now he is coming back. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
will give the other lads a bit of a Blues Dance and confident, going | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
into some very important games. -- a bit of a boost and confident. We | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
are in a relegation scrap and we want to retain the First Division | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
status. You will try had avoided big signings because money is tight. | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
They made a record loss of �2 million last year. But a friend in | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
need is a friend indeed. Without going into too many details, he has | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
been very helpful in regards of the financial aspects of him coming | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
here. In financial terms, it is a very good deal for the club. He has | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
missed Yorkshire and he is itching to get back into it. When Jacques | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
Rudolph left the club at the end of last season, there were tears of | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
sadness. Now he is coming back, you could forgive those at Yorkshire | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
for the odd tear rob joy. -- of joy. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
And already, there are plenty more questions coming our way. One of | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
the key ones is how long will he stay for, and when will he play his | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
first match? We shouldn't get too excited, because he is only staying | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
until the end of the season. There is no real sign he will be a | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
Yorkshire player beyond that, but he will certainly be needed. They | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
are relegation zone in the County Championship and are below that | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
great cricketing nation benevolence in the 40 over competitions. -- the | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Netherlands. So he will be used in all departments until the end of | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
the season. I make it five County Championship matches that he can | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
contribute to, and we reckon that the first time he will play for | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
Yorkshire game will be two weeks from today, when the roses ground - | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
- County Championship the match is staged here against the old enemy | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
from Lancashire. In two weeks' time, Jacques Rudolph Reddy will wear the | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
Yorkshire to gain, and that will be music to the ears of people here. - | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
- well where the Yorkshire shirt again. It was raining cats and dogs | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
about half-an-hour ago, but they have restarted. Leicestershire are | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
88-one after just nine overs. So exciting times despite a difficult | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
season so far. The Jacques Rudolph is coming back, can he get | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
Yorkshire's season back on track? It is normally children who are way | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
behind you, we had a couple of adults there. And I am delighted to | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
see the rain has brought your kiss curls to the fore. | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
I can't do anything about them. They are lovely, keep them as they | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
are. Just to repeat what Paul Ogden was saying, Yorkshire were | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
struggling before the rain came on, Leicestershire have made an | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
Unless you've been travelling around with your eyes shut, you'll | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
have noticed just how manyred poppiess there are in the fields | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
:23:27. | :23:28. | ||
around us. -- just how many wonderful red poppies their wrath. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
There is a reason. He and his dad a Carpenter. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
Poppies are everywhere. The countryside has been red for weeks, | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
but it is not supposed to be like that. For farmers, it is a problem. | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
When it goes through the combined with the poppies, we have to try | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
and shake these poppy heads out, and when they have dried out, they | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
go like bullets, and they fall straight into the sample. They will | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
go into the tank of the combined with the oilseed which causes a | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
problem. When the oilseed rape was son, it was have done so with a | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
weed killer. Because of the long summer and the dry spring -- a long | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
winter and the dry spring, it didn't grow. It is the weeds that | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
are crowding out the crop. If you get a lot of poppies and they are | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
very thick, they will reduce the Daily -- yield of the crop | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
considerably, probably by a half in a really bad situation. But | :24:28. | :24:37. | |
rapeseed is worth roughly �400 a tonne, say you could lose a lot. It | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
could cost you a couple of hundred pounds an acre, a serious amount of | :24:41. | :24:50. | |
money. This field, hike on the hill, is the most spectacular found. -- | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
high on the hill. It can be seen for miles. Although it is oilseed | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
rape that has been most affected, it can happen to any crop. He | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
admits high heels, all-in costs, falling profits, but it does look | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
rather lovely. -- falling yields. But an unexpected side-effect of | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
all that snow and the amazingly dry spring. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
They do look wonderful. I am going to give you the complement and say | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
thank you for those nice weather -- that nice weather forced up let's | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
:25:41. | :25:45. | ||
Some picture of the poppies. That is tremendous. Keep the pictures | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
coming in. Very unsettled dared there, you heard about that | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
downpour at Headingley, that came downpour at Headingley, that came | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
through the city centre as well. Tomorrow, some heavy downpours. | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
Low-pressure is still in charge ended will be like that through the | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
weekend and into the early stages of next week. There has been some | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
sunshine in between the showers, we are looking at this hook of cloud | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
coming through North Wales, which will be into South Yorkshire very | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
shortly and it will be raining from the south-west. In the short term, | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
some sunshine, but by the end of the evening, rain affecting much of | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
west and north Yorkshire and it will move towards the coast by | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
midnight. Followed behind by a scattering of showers, with | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
temperatures down to around 11 Celsius. A moderate south-west wind. | :26:37. | :26:46. | |
Sun rises in the morning at 4:45am. There will be one or two showers | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
around from the word go, as temperatures rise we will see those | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
clouds flourishing. One or two thunderstorms breaking out as we | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
head through the afternoon. Like today, some decent weather in | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
between the showers, with dry interludes and with that modest -- | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
moderate wind, temperatures shouldn't feel too bad. 18 or 19 | :27:09. | :27:17. | |
degrees are the highest. Doncaster and Sheffield might just nudge up | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
to 20 Celsius. Looking further ahead, it is more of the same for | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
Friday, showers possibly merging to give one or two long spells of rain. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
The weekend is more straight forward with a reasonable amount of | :27:30. | :27:34. |
