:00:12. > :00:14.Good evening. Welcome to Look North. Tonight - he had more than 300,000
:00:14. > :00:17.child abuse images. This father of two is jailed for
:00:17. > :00:19.being the UK's most prolific hoarder of indecent pictures of
:00:19. > :00:22.young children. We talk to one of the country's
:00:22. > :00:31.leading experts on paedophiles. And in York thousands are protesting
:00:31. > :00:37.over plans they say threaten the city's vital tourism industry.
:00:37. > :00:42.could be in for a stormy night. There's 300 demonstrators in there
:00:42. > :00:45.trying to persuade the council to save their car park.
:00:45. > :00:48.And flash hailstorms cause flooding in some parts of the region. We're
:00:48. > :00:50.live in one Yorkshire town as residents mop up. We're seeing
:00:50. > :01:00.further showery rain today. But tomorrow is going to be drier and
:01:00. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:10.A Leeds man described by police as the most prolific user and
:01:10. > :01:13.collector of indecent images of children in the UK was jailed today.
:01:13. > :01:16.When police raided Daniel Taylor's home in Farnley, they found more
:01:16. > :01:26.than 300.000 images, many of them of the most serious grade. Taylor
:01:26. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:30.also had an instruction video for abusing young children. 300The 31-
:01:30. > :01:36.year-old was given an indefinite jail sentence today. None of the
:01:36. > :01:40.charges, we must point out, related to his own children. To the outside
:01:40. > :01:45.world Daniel Taylor was a caring family man, but behind the closed
:01:45. > :01:49.doors of his home here in Farnley, he was someone altogether more
:01:49. > :01:54.sinister. Inside his house, police found he possessed more than
:01:54. > :02:01.300,000 indecent images of children, and that was when they stopped
:02:01. > :02:06.counting. Taylor admitted this, and making indecent images of children
:02:06. > :02:10.and taking indecent pictures. He also admitted to two sexual
:02:10. > :02:16.assaults by taking pictures of babies. He used a covert camera
:02:16. > :02:22.disguised as a cigarette lighter to film himself assaulting baby girls.
:02:22. > :02:27.He had 47 devices, including hard drives and a laptop. Clearly, by
:02:27. > :02:31.the nature of his store of images and his ability to share them
:02:31. > :02:38.across the internet, then there are other people involved in that world.
:02:38. > :02:45.The way we came about this is ground-breaking technology, which
:02:45. > :02:48.we use to monitor activity like this on the internet. The court
:02:48. > :02:54.said he'd shown deep remorse for his acts and that he'd lost
:02:54. > :02:58.everything in his life. It's the most severe case we have
:02:58. > :03:02.experienced and one of the most significant nationally in terms of
:03:02. > :03:05.the sheer volume of images shared across the internet. Daniel Taylor,
:03:05. > :03:11.described as a high risk to children, will not be released
:03:11. > :03:19.after his three years in jail unless or until the authorities are
:03:19. > :03:22.satisfied he's no longer a threat. Dr Bernard Gallaher is from
:03:22. > :03:26.Huddersfield University. He's one of the leading experts on child
:03:26. > :03:31.abuse and paedophile rings. I suppose this case really proves
:03:31. > :03:35.there is no such thing as a stereotypical paedophile. Very true.
:03:35. > :03:41.If there is anything we can draw from this case is the fact there's
:03:41. > :03:43.whole range of people that present risks to children. It's not that
:03:43. > :03:48.old-fashioned, stereotypical picture of the lone male in a dirty
:03:48. > :03:51.raincoat. That couldn't be further from the truth, particularly with
:03:51. > :03:55.these child pornography cases. It has been shown that lots of
:03:55. > :04:02.different people from lots of different walks of life do download
:04:02. > :04:06.these images. Hundreds of thousands of images - thousands of the most
:04:06. > :04:10.serious category found on this computer. Does it make people want
:04:10. > :04:15.to mistrust everyone? I mean, I think if I had very young children,
:04:15. > :04:19.I'd want to lock them up. Unfortunately, we do hear about
:04:19. > :04:23.quite a lot of child abuse stories these days, and the natural
:04:23. > :04:25.reaction is to be quite fearful for your children, but I think it's
:04:25. > :04:31.important to bear in mind that there are only probably a small
:04:31. > :04:36.minority of people committing these offences, and it's important that
:04:36. > :04:41.they don't make us alter the way we live our lives. Nevertheless, as I
:04:41. > :04:45.have said, hundreds of thousands of images, presumably, a lot of them
:04:45. > :04:50.shared images - there must be a lot of other people out there who pose
:04:50. > :04:56.a danger to our children and even young babies. Do we have numbers
:04:56. > :05:00.yet There are no hard-and-fast numbers. This problem is growing
:05:00. > :05:04.all the time, but a conservative estimate is there are tens of
:05:04. > :05:07.thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of individuals in the
:05:07. > :05:11.United Kingdom who are at least downloading child pornography
:05:11. > :05:14.images. It is a significant problem. Hundreds of thousands means that
:05:14. > :05:20.there's tens of thousands in Yorkshire. The one thing I suppose
:05:20. > :05:23.we can take heart from is that the police are forever vigilant. They
:05:23. > :05:28.are checking every internet possibility to close these
:05:28. > :05:31.paedophiles down, aren't they? are, although a lot of the police
:05:31. > :05:35.action and law enforcement more generally and also the internet
:05:35. > :05:41.industry - a lot of the action they're taking tends to be reactive.
:05:41. > :05:44.They wait for suspicions to be raised or reports to be made to
:05:44. > :05:50.them,ed a then they investigate them, which is all very important,
:05:50. > :05:53.but we do need far more resources so the police can go out
:05:53. > :05:56.proactively protecting these individuals, because the ones
:05:56. > :06:01.they're detecting at the moment will only be the tip of the iceberg.
:06:01. > :06:06.They do need those resources to be able to go on the internet and
:06:07. > :06:11.detect far more. While the internet facilities child porn offences, it
:06:11. > :06:13.also assists the police in catching these offenders, but they do need
:06:13. > :06:15.the resources. Thank you very much. There are calls for an
:06:15. > :06:19.investigation into how a consultation exercise looking at
:06:19. > :06:21.plans to close care homes in Leeds has been carried out. Look North
:06:21. > :06:24.has seen confidential documents which some councillors claim show
:06:24. > :06:27.the process of gauging public reaction has been nothing more than
:06:27. > :06:34.a sham. Today another petition against the closures was handed in,
:06:34. > :06:39.our local government reporter Danni Hewson went along.
:06:39. > :06:42.Box after box of signatures delivered to Leeds Council - over
:06:43. > :06:50.9,000 people have penned their objection to plans to close six
:06:50. > :06:56.council-run old people's homes in the city. The people of this area
:06:56. > :07:03.have very much - are very much annoyed, upset, angered at the fact
:07:03. > :07:11.that the home will close. They promised me a life in - in there
:07:11. > :07:15.for life. They - they're going to go off their word if they shut it.
:07:15. > :07:19.All here hope their hard work will make a difference, but tonight,
:07:19. > :07:24.there are fears a decision has already been made. Documentation
:07:24. > :07:26.obtained by the BBC relates to a cabinet meeting held on July 25
:07:26. > :07:31.about the proposals. It proposes that they recommend the
:07:31. > :07:36.decommissioning of the six homes to the executive pending the final
:07:36. > :07:39.completion of the consultation. am hearing rumours, and I have
:07:40. > :07:44.great concerns, and I am told that the decision has already been made
:07:44. > :07:48.and that this consultation process is nothing more than a sham. I am
:07:48. > :07:52.getting angry thinking about it, so it really does need looking into
:07:52. > :07:55.because if people say that a consultation process is open and
:07:55. > :08:01.that there is a deadline, then decisions should not be taken
:08:01. > :08:05.before that deadline. Amidst all the political rhetoric, it's easy
:08:05. > :08:08.to lose sight of the fact that we're talking about people's homes
:08:09. > :08:13.- and not just any people - some of the most vulnerable in society.
:08:13. > :08:19.That's one of the reasons a Leeds MP has waded into the row and
:08:19. > :08:22.demanded answers. I think this needs a proper inquiry. I also will
:08:22. > :08:25.be referring this matter to the local Government ombudsman, but
:08:25. > :08:28.this process must be stopped now because the way this is being
:08:28. > :08:32.conducted is an entirely unacceptable way to carry out
:08:32. > :08:38.public service. For the campaigners, they're not much bothered with the
:08:38. > :08:43.process. They just want their homes to stay open. See you, love.
:08:43. > :08:45.should add, we did ask the Labour leader to join us tonight. He
:08:45. > :08:49.declined. Joining me now is Sandie Keene the
:08:49. > :08:53.director of adult social services for Leeds Council.
:08:53. > :08:56."A sham" - what do you think? Absolutely not. I am really
:08:56. > :08:59.perplexed about where this idea that decisions have already been
:08:59. > :09:02.made has come from. It's come from the fact that the cabinet
:09:02. > :09:06.apparently has already proposed a recommendation of the
:09:06. > :09:08.decommissioning of six homes to the executive pending the end of the
:09:08. > :09:13.consultation. That's where it has come from. What actually happened
:09:13. > :09:16.is a meeting with the cabinet last week that I attended and that
:09:16. > :09:19.officers prepared a presentation for - we would be expected to
:09:20. > :09:24.discuss with elected members what some of the themes coming out of
:09:24. > :09:27.the consultation was, and to actually consult them, indeed, as
:09:27. > :09:31.elected members about what some of these options should be. In fact,
:09:31. > :09:36.the next stage of the process is that, as the director responsible
:09:36. > :09:39.for these services, I will be ensuring a report is prepared and
:09:39. > :09:44.submitted to the executive board. At this moment in time, I don't
:09:44. > :09:48.know the content of that report. But this fact you can have a look
:09:48. > :09:52.at. The consultation period hasn't even ended yet, and already we're
:09:52. > :09:56.told that the builder, Barrett Homes, has plans to build on a
:09:56. > :10:00.couple of the is it's. How do you react to that? I react it's simply
:10:00. > :10:07.not the case. Has that been discussed? During the consultation
:10:07. > :10:12.we have been in discussion with the builder and other house builders...
:10:12. > :10:17.Why? Also another providers in the city to look at what their plans
:10:17. > :10:24.are for housing and residential care in the city. Why not wait
:10:24. > :10:27.until the consultation prohas completed? Because it will inform
:10:27. > :10:31.the consultation process what we can recommend at the end. There are
:10:31. > :10:39.calls for the local ombudsman to investigate. Shouldn't that be
:10:39. > :10:42.done? You can calm fears from your own point of view? A local
:10:42. > :10:46.ombudsman would normally follow a complaint. At this point, I have
:10:46. > :10:50.nothing suggested as to what a complaint - the details of what
:10:50. > :10:52.that complaint could be. The ombudsman will not investigate
:10:52. > :10:57.without there having been an internal investigation. I wonder,
:10:57. > :11:01.are you at ease with the way this is being done, with all of this
:11:01. > :11:05.kerfuffle that has been created? welcome the fact that people are
:11:05. > :11:08.giving their views very loudly and strongly because this is one of the
:11:08. > :11:12.most emotive subjects that local Government can be involved with.
:11:12. > :11:17.Are you saying absolutely, categorically that no decision has
:11:17. > :11:21.been made yet? And when will the decision be made? No decision has
:11:21. > :11:25.been made. I can confirm that the decision will be considered at the
:11:25. > :11:27.executive board of the council on the 7th of September. Thank you
:11:27. > :11:35.very much indeed for joining us. Thank you.
:11:35. > :11:38.Do stay with us on Look North tonight.
:11:38. > :11:40.For a powerful tale - the fastest growing company in Yorkshire
:11:40. > :11:42.proving itself fast on the tracks as well.
:11:43. > :11:46.Controversial plans to sell off York's largest parking area for
:11:46. > :11:49.tourist coaches are to be voted on by councillors tonight. It follows
:11:49. > :11:52.weeks of protest organised by traders who say their businesses
:11:52. > :12:02.will be devastated if it goes. York St John University wants to expand
:12:02. > :12:04.on the site. And the city council's leader says he would like to see
:12:04. > :12:07.this happen. Danny Carpenter is outside the city's Guildhall where
:12:07. > :12:10.a demonstration has been taking place.
:12:10. > :12:14.Yeah, they have made a noise outside. Now they're planning to
:12:14. > :12:19.make a noise inside. There's 300 demonstrators in there - all with
:12:19. > :12:25.one aim - to try to persuade York's council not to sell off their car
:12:25. > :12:29.park, and despite the fact they're at a meeting, they say this is not
:12:29. > :12:32.about politics. This is about livelihoods. Another coach, another
:12:32. > :12:38.group of tourists, another York wage packet, because everybody who
:12:38. > :12:41.gets off the bus here walks past these businesses, these businesses
:12:41. > :12:46.and these businesses on their way here.
:12:46. > :12:51.Hundreds of jobs will be lost in tourism if we end up with a
:12:51. > :12:55.diminished coach park that isn't workable because it's a health and
:12:55. > :12:59.safety hazard, and he's also forgetting the fact that tourism in
:12:59. > :13:07.the city is increasing 5% a year, so therefore, there is more jobs
:13:07. > :13:12.being created all the time. Tourism is worth �433 a year to York. Six
:13:12. > :13:17.million people come to the city annually. Around 7% of them come by
:13:17. > :13:21.coach. The recently-expanded York St John
:13:21. > :13:26.University wants to expand yet further into the car and coach park.
:13:26. > :13:30.City of York Council is keen to help, but they have had to change
:13:30. > :13:37.their plans after furious protests by the traders, and there could be
:13:37. > :13:40.a knock-on effect across the city. I bring around 260 to 300 coaches
:13:40. > :13:45.every year, but you can estimate that for every coach I serve, there
:13:45. > :13:50.are two or three other Continental coaches. German tour companies,
:13:50. > :13:54.knowing about this problem, addressed already that they'll
:13:54. > :13:58.probably go to Lincoln because they're going to build a new coach
:13:58. > :14:01.park. The council says they have listened, and they have compromised
:14:01. > :14:05.and will consult on five new proposals. It's important that we
:14:05. > :14:11.help grow our knowledge, economy and grow jobs in a very difficult
:14:11. > :14:15.time while at the same time trying to protect our assets. None of that
:14:15. > :14:19.satisfies the protesters. They want the whole plan scrapped and the
:14:19. > :14:23.university to find an entirely different site.
:14:23. > :14:29.And if you're wondering why they're all taking it so seriously, let's
:14:29. > :14:33.do a little bit of maths. There are 420,000 people come here in coaches
:14:33. > :14:39.every year. If they only spend �2 each in the city, that's nearly a
:14:39. > :14:42.million. If they spend �5 each, that's �2 million - �10 each, very
:14:42. > :14:45.quickly you get into some very big numbers.
:14:45. > :14:48.Thank you very much, Danny. Yorkshire's main rail link with
:14:48. > :14:54.London has emerged as the worst timekeeper on the rail network.
:14:54. > :14:57.Fewer than 82% of East Coast's trains ran on time last month. East
:14:57. > :15:07.Coast, which operates between Leeds, York and London, is one of only
:15:07. > :15:10.three train companies to run fewer than 90% of trains on time.
:15:10. > :15:13.Police searching for a 40-year-old man after a mother and a daughter
:15:13. > :15:15.were stabbed in Garforth on Tuesday say they're following up a number
:15:15. > :15:18.of leads. The 55-year-old woman suffered serious injuries, and both
:15:18. > :15:23.remain in hospital. Officers say the man they are looking for,
:15:23. > :15:25.Leslie Cunningham, is dangerous and should not be approached.
:15:26. > :15:28.Bradford's cathedral is to become the first in the country to
:15:28. > :15:31.generate its own power. Solar panels are being installed on the
:15:31. > :15:34.roof in an effort to cut the building's power bills. The company
:15:34. > :15:42.installing them says they won't affect the appearance of the
:15:42. > :15:49.cathedral. The plan's been approved by English Heritage.
:15:49. > :15:52.Well, talk about the calm after the storm. This was the satellite image
:15:52. > :15:56.taken yesterday afternoon. As well as strong winds, heavy hail and
:15:56. > :15:59.rain led to flash flooding in some parts of Yorkshire overnight. The
:15:59. > :16:03.clean-up is well underway but photographs and film sent in by you
:16:03. > :16:09.have helped us paint a picture of what it has been like. This was
:16:09. > :16:12.York maze yesterday as visitors took shelter from the rain. And the
:16:12. > :16:18.rain continued to fall in York again today as this photograph sent
:16:18. > :16:22.in by Isobel Embleton shows. Down the road in Dunnington trees and
:16:22. > :16:24.branches fell in the hail and high winds. In Goole local fire crews
:16:24. > :16:29.found themselves pumping water out of their own station as drains
:16:29. > :16:37.overflowed. But there were also problems in South Yorkshire, where
:16:37. > :16:42.we join Emma Glasbey. Well, Harry, it's raining again. It
:16:42. > :16:46.has been raining on and off here in Thorn all day, nothing like the
:16:46. > :16:49.torrential downpours seen last night. You can still see some of
:16:49. > :16:54.the aftermath of the storm. All the houses behind me were flooded. The
:16:54. > :16:58.people who live here have spent the day dragging out these soaking wet
:16:58. > :17:04.carpets and assesses the damage. The morning after the night before
:17:04. > :17:09.- and the clean-up begins in Thorn. The people living here claim eight
:17:09. > :17:13.inches of water flooded into their homes. Well, we got the thunder and
:17:13. > :17:17.lightning about 6.00pm, and about 20 minutes later, we started to
:17:17. > :17:21.flood, and then I jumped out the window to go across the road to the
:17:21. > :17:25.fire stay, which no one was in, obviously, because it was on call,
:17:25. > :17:30.and then we - luckily, a fire engine was just coming back in, and
:17:30. > :17:34.I got the attention of the officer, and he come and started to pump out
:17:34. > :17:40.for us. The family at this house only moved in four weeks ago.
:17:40. > :17:43.just all came all at once. It was unbelievable. I have never seen
:17:43. > :17:48.rain like it ever, pretty fed up, pretty sick, actually, but we
:17:48. > :17:52.couldn't get any help. The council wouldn't fetch sandbags because
:17:52. > :17:56.they said it wasn't flash flooding, so we were stuck. We had to get a
:17:56. > :18:01.friend to go out and get sandbags. By that time it was already in, so
:18:01. > :18:04.we were just trying to minimise. These homes have never flooded
:18:04. > :18:08.before and escaped the devastation seen elsewhere in South Yorkshire
:18:08. > :18:15.in 2007. Last night, though, the water came so fast, there was very
:18:15. > :18:18.little time to react. Well, you heard some criticism
:18:18. > :18:23.there of Doncaster Council. They have issued a statement saying that
:18:23. > :18:26.members of the Highways Team responded to the torrential
:18:26. > :18:29.downpours. They used jetting equipment to pump the water away
:18:29. > :18:34.from here. They say members of the neighbourhood response team were
:18:34. > :18:43.also here. That was to offer reassurance to the residents. They
:18:43. > :18:49.also say around 80 sandbags were distributed residents of this area.
:18:49. > :18:57.That was a precaution in case there was anymore rainfall.
:18:57. > :19:01.Fingers crossed for a dry night. Plenty more before 7.00pm.
:19:01. > :19:07.We get the latest preview ahead of the football season as the two
:19:07. > :19:10.Sheffield Clubs prepare to compete in League One.
:19:10. > :19:20.We absolutely love a Yorkshire success story, and this is one of
:19:20. > :19:23.them. Ginetta has been a high- profile name in the world of cars
:19:23. > :19:25.for over half a century. And they're still doing well. According
:19:25. > :19:27.to a business survey they're the fastest growing company in
:19:27. > :19:33.Yorkshire. This week they've launched their latest project, a

:19:39. > :19:46.cars, most famously, racing cars. And every one of them comes out of
:19:46. > :19:50.this factory in Garforth. Lawrence Tomlinson is the man in charge.
:19:50. > :19:55.He's the power force behind this company. It's not just the fact
:19:55. > :19:58.that we build cars here in West Yorkshire. We try to use all local
:19:59. > :20:03.suppliers, so lot of the machining is done here. The casting generally
:20:03. > :20:06.comes from Sheffield. They're doing well, boasting 92% sales growth
:20:06. > :20:10.every year for the last four years - one of the 30 fastest growing
:20:10. > :20:15.companies in the UK. We have just sold four cars to Italy. We're
:20:15. > :20:20.sending some more cars out to Brazil. We used to sell 80% of our
:20:20. > :20:25.cars in the UK. Now we currently export about 80%. Now they're
:20:25. > :20:30.branching out into road cars. This is their newest product TG40-R

:20:43. > :20:46.climate, isn't it a brave decision to launch a new car now? I think
:20:46. > :20:49.it's great for someone to own this car who wants to make a transition
:20:49. > :20:53.maybe from doing track days to becoming a racing driver and just
:20:53. > :20:56.have some fun with it. There is a niche market out. There do you
:20:56. > :21:02.think those people have the money to spend? I do. We're going to be

:21:09. > :21:12.be delivered by Christmas, but with only 150 made a year, there's not
:21:12. > :21:21.going to be that many on the roads, and to buy one, it's going to cost
:21:21. > :21:27.you around �30,000. A bit racy, aren't you? I like that

:21:33. > :21:36.like the colour. Let's talk sport.

:22:00. > :22:03.start of the football season the Sheffield clubs are preparing for
:22:03. > :22:09.life together in League One. They're going to have four, aren't

:22:16. > :22:19.It's only the second occasion that both Wednesday and United have been
:22:19. > :22:24.in the third division of English football at the same time. But as
:22:24. > :22:34.Ian Bucknell reports, they don't plan to be there for long.
:22:34. > :22:37.
:22:37. > :22:40.# Here we go For the first time in a long time
:22:40. > :22:45.Sheffield Wednesday fans can look forward to the new season and think
:22:45. > :22:53.about football rather than finances. But will their new off-field
:22:53. > :22:57.stability bring on-field success? Getting players in, and the next
:22:57. > :23:01.squad will be a good squad, then we could be pushing for a top two
:23:01. > :23:04.place. The expectation is there. Whether we've got the players I
:23:05. > :23:12.don't know. Top two if we get these new signings in.
:23:12. > :23:22.A goal from one new signing, veteran midfielder Vutrun helped

:23:36. > :23:40.see a team that's got the same desire and drive as they've got.
:23:40. > :23:48.Across the steel city, Sheffield United are also preparing for life
:23:48. > :23:53.in the third tier. The Blades are an exciting prospect of experienced
:23:53. > :23:58.pro's. They'll use last season's relegation as a spur for this
:23:58. > :24:03.season's bid for promotion. might get that season mentality. We
:24:03. > :24:07.have to bring us all together as players and staff. Hopefully, the
:24:07. > :24:12.results will bring the fans through the gate. It's going to be tough
:24:12. > :24:17.this year, but - and I'll say "but" again - we've got the quality. If
:24:18. > :24:22.we can get it going, if we can get the results moving, I think we'll
:24:22. > :24:29.take only stopping. This is one city with two teams and
:24:29. > :24:33.one objective - to get promotion from League One this season.
:24:33. > :24:36.You can imagine what the local derbies are going to be look,
:24:36. > :24:40.fantastic. The Championship teams will be looking ahead to their
:24:40. > :24:45.prospects for the coming season. Weather now - we have had a time of
:24:45. > :24:51.it - a bit of a realtime of it in the last 24 hours. We have even
:24:51. > :24:56.heard the word "tornado" at Hessington, York. Apparently a
:24:56. > :25:02.farmer claims trees were torn up and a horse was thrown from one
:25:02. > :25:07.field to another. But I think the question is, how is the frog stuck
:25:07. > :25:13.in the spout of Lisa's bucket. rushed home last it into. He was
:25:13. > :25:18.still there. I washed him out and he's now in the vegetable patch.
:25:18. > :25:21.can't understands - he was backwards. I have no idea. I feel a
:25:21. > :25:31.lot better. He was hiding from the storm, but he's safe and well now.
:25:31. > :25:41.
:25:41. > :25:45.It has been a quieter day today, So today has still been a little
:25:45. > :25:48.bit wet, but tomorrow it is going to be much better - a dry and a
:25:48. > :25:52.bright day. That's because weather fronts are going to stay away from
:25:52. > :25:57.us tomorrow, but make the most of it if you can because the weekend
:25:57. > :26:00.looks like it's going to turn unsettled once again. The satellite
:26:00. > :26:05.shows how the cloud has been steadily clearing eastwards. The
:26:05. > :26:10.Pennines enjoying the sunshine, spreading east until the sun sets
:26:10. > :26:16.and the showers clear into the North Sea. Overnight, dry for most.
:26:16. > :26:20.There is the risk of a shower in the Pennines. Elsewhere, clearer
:26:20. > :26:29.spells, much more comfortable for sleeping compared to last night, as
:26:29. > :26:37.temperatures dropped to 11-12C. 12C is 54 Fahrenheit. Sunrise is at
:26:37. > :26:41.5.27am, sets at 8.56pm. So tomorrow, it is going to be a bright start to
:26:42. > :26:45.the day, fairly mild, not too chilly, and we will see sunny
:26:45. > :26:49.spells continuing through the morning. There is a small chance of
:26:49. > :26:53.the odd shower affecting the Pennines, the Peak District at
:26:53. > :27:00.first, but it will be a dry day. Come afternoon, a little bit more
:27:00. > :27:02.in the way of cloud, but it remains broken, so sunshine into the
:27:02. > :27:12.afternoon. Feeling pleasant with temperatures roughly where they
:27:12. > :27:16.should be at this time of year - 20-21C. 20C as we pull over towards
:27:16. > :27:20.the coastline. 20C is 68 Fahrenheit. Make the most of Friday if you can,
:27:20. > :27:24.because it is going to turn unsettled through the weekend with
:27:24. > :27:27.showers returning. Saturday morning through to lunch time, some showers
:27:27. > :27:34.heavy, possibly thundery, starting to fade away for Saturday afternoon,
:27:34. > :27:39.and temperatures below afternoon I like happy ending. I am glad the
