:00:14. > :00:17.takes a battering as gale-force winds hit the region. While live in
:00:17. > :00:22.Leeds city centre runs the strong winds really begin to take a grip
:00:22. > :00:25.on this county of Yorkshire. Costs have already reached 70 miles an
:00:25. > :00:29.hour and roads have been closed -- gusts.
:00:30. > :00:34.There is a river rescue going on in North Yorkshire as we speak. Also

:00:56. > :00:59.great honour. There is still a warning in place for Gaels or so
:00:59. > :01:09.they are gales over the next few hours. The very latest coming up
:01:09. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:15.Good evening. Welcome to Look North. High winds have been battering
:01:15. > :01:19.large parts of Yorkshire are causing disruption to the roads and
:01:19. > :01:24.the rail network. In the last hour it has been revealed there is a
:01:24. > :01:29.river rescue going on in Swaledale. We will have the latest in a moment.
:01:29. > :01:34.A massive Gale has been recorded and poor is going to be here with
:01:34. > :01:38.the latest travel news in a moment. First, Harry is outside bearing the
:01:38. > :01:44.elements in Leeds city centre. It is still very windy? It is indeed.
:01:44. > :01:48.Only a few days ago we were talking about how mild November has been.
:01:48. > :01:52.December seems to be very wild, certainly today has. The winced
:01:52. > :01:55.originated in the Atlantic and throughout the course of the day
:01:55. > :02:00.they batted mainly in North Yorkshire. More about that in a
:02:00. > :02:03.moment. Ian Wright has been out and about in West and South Yorkshire.
:02:03. > :02:08.Let's start by looking at what happened in North Yorkshire. Cathy
:02:08. > :02:15.Killick went to investigate. One of the first casualties of the
:02:15. > :02:19.wind, a lorry on the A 66 near Scotch Corner. The road was closed
:02:19. > :02:23.for an hour while wreckage was recovered. It is open now, but
:02:23. > :02:27.conditions are hazardous. It is closed to high-sided vehicles. In
:02:27. > :02:31.York, the erection of the York will was delayed because of the wind. It
:02:31. > :02:37.was hoped it would be up and turning by tomorrow. That has been
:02:37. > :02:42.blown off by the weather. It is looking more like Sunday now. It --
:02:42. > :02:46.we will make announcements. When it opens the capsules are lovely and
:02:46. > :02:51.warm inside. Don't worry about the weather when we are up and running.
:02:51. > :02:55.In the Yorkshire Dales it was not the day for walking. The mountains
:02:55. > :03:00.were deserted. The ground Sodom and thought was localised flooding
:03:00. > :03:05.after driving rain. You can't see the wind but it was fierce. I'm
:03:05. > :03:10.scared I'm going to lose my hat! I am a few miles north of Settle.
:03:10. > :03:20.There is no one else here, hardly surprising. I can measure the wind
:03:20. > :03:22.
:03:22. > :03:29.speed. I hold it up. Let's have a look. Yes, maximum 50 my it -- 55
:03:29. > :03:34.mph. That is Gail Force, storm- force. It feels like it! Over on
:03:34. > :03:38.the coast the sea looked flat but the coastguards are on the alert.
:03:38. > :03:41.In this weather the dangers are on the clifftops. We have had
:03:41. > :03:47.recordings at our operations room that it has been about 20 knots
:03:47. > :03:51.westerly but boosting up to 43 knots, which is 50 miles an hour.
:03:51. > :03:54.Although it has calmed down here, if you are on the clifftops because
:03:54. > :03:58.the wind adopt -- the windows of the land there is every possibility
:03:58. > :04:03.it would take you off balance, particularly after the raid. Paps
:04:03. > :04:06.are very slippery. With wind speeds increasing we have not seen the
:04:06. > :04:12.worst of the weather it and all that rain is on its way off the
:04:12. > :04:19.hills. This is near Gargrave, very hazardous and already full to the
:04:19. > :04:23.brim. This is the road outside Leeds'
:04:23. > :04:28.tallest building, Bridge what a place. Very windy, a bit like -- a
:04:28. > :04:32.bit like a wind tunnel. There was a tragic accident here earlier in the
:04:32. > :04:35.year weather high-sided vehicle toppled on top of a pedestrian.
:04:35. > :04:39.There are no chances today, the road has been closed to big lorries.
:04:39. > :04:43.It was not just drivers facing problems. Pedestrians were battling
:04:43. > :04:47.with the elements as wind and rain picked up around lunchtime. The
:04:47. > :04:52.higher up we got the worst the weather seemed to get. This was
:04:52. > :04:56.heading west on the M62 above the Pennines towards saddle was.
:04:56. > :05:00.Sprayed making driving conditions difficult and dangerous --
:05:00. > :05:04.Saddleworth. All the major routes were being monitored carefully.
:05:04. > :05:08.have seen wind speeds come down lately. The weather is moving
:05:08. > :05:13.further north. For our region we are thinking about clearing up from
:05:13. > :05:15.localised flooding we have had, so we have reopened carriageway --
:05:16. > :05:20.carriage ways that were closed because of that and we are making
:05:20. > :05:24.sure that signs are set and traffic officers can respond in the right
:05:24. > :05:28.place to have any further incidents that may occur. At one The Edge
:05:28. > :05:33.services drivers told us it had been bad on the roads. -- at
:05:33. > :05:37.Woolley Edge services. Some people are driving like complete idiots.
:05:37. > :05:41.am taking buses coming down from Perth, there are 130 mile an hour
:05:41. > :05:46.gusts up there. In South Yorkshire the main problem was the Woodhead
:05:46. > :05:49.Pass. The road has been closed to all vehicles as a safety precaution.
:05:50. > :05:55.In Sheffield Christmas shoppers got buffeted by the wind and had to put
:05:55. > :06:01.up with more rain. And that England's highest airport, Leeds
:06:01. > :06:03.Bradford, passengers braced themselves for a bumpy landing. So
:06:03. > :06:09.far there have been no flights delayed or cancelled because of the
:06:09. > :06:12.weather. I suppose that is good news. We
:06:12. > :06:16.always right -- we always rely and your contribution as well to
:06:16. > :06:22.complement the pictures we try to get for you on Look North. On
:06:22. > :06:25.Facebook tonight, Diane Armer has told us that it is blowing a gale
:06:25. > :06:32.on Nettleton Hill near Huddersfield and she has lost her chicken roof
:06:32. > :06:35.over a six ft fence. Donna has said she is avoiding the M62 because if
:06:36. > :06:39.it is anything like the M one that she experienced earlier, there is a
:06:39. > :06:46.warning for everyone to stay off the M60 to. On Twitter, Martin
:06:46. > :06:50.tells us that his children's play house blew over a six ft fence as
:06:50. > :06:54.well. We will give you more details later. The Windies here, it is
:06:54. > :07:00.pouring down with rain. Back to you in the studio.
:07:00. > :07:03.We will hear from you later in the programme, Harry. As we have been
:07:03. > :07:07.hearing the worst affected area is in North Yorkshire. An RAF
:07:07. > :07:12.helicopter has been carrying out a rescue in Swaledale. Danny Savage
:07:12. > :07:18.is here for us from Scotch Corner. What do we know about the rescue
:07:18. > :07:22.operation? We understand it took place earlier on this afternoon
:07:22. > :07:25.before it got dark. Some sort of incident in the Swaledale area,
:07:25. > :07:29.although the information we are getting is that it may have taken
:07:29. > :07:34.place between Lee Byrne and Middleham, which is more like
:07:34. > :07:39.Wensleydale. We understand the RAF helicopter was involved, rescuing
:07:39. > :07:43.three people from a car. It seems the vehicle ended up in the river.
:07:43. > :07:48.Those rivers are really swollen at the moment. When I was on top of
:07:48. > :07:52.the Pennines to date, I was amazed at the water melting from the snow
:07:52. > :07:55.earlier in the week, rushing down into the rivers. Lots of rivers
:07:55. > :07:59.were looking really swollen. It does not surprise me there has been
:07:59. > :08:03.some sort of incident. We do not know if a bridge has collapsed, or
:08:03. > :08:08.a wall has gone, but it is ongoing and more information is coming out
:08:08. > :08:12.as time goes on. There has been real problems in the area where you
:08:12. > :08:16.are, on the roads particularly earlier today, hasn't there? Yes,
:08:16. > :08:21.the A66 behind me off to the left heads over the Pennines towards
:08:21. > :08:25.Penrith. It was shut for some time today because the winds were so bad,
:08:25. > :08:30.then it reopened do everything but high-sided vehicles. We went up on
:08:30. > :08:34.to the top and a vehicle had blown over on to its side on the summit.
:08:34. > :08:39.Luckily the driver escaped without injury but it did illustrate just
:08:39. > :08:42.how windy it was and has been and is likely to be this evening. Keep
:08:42. > :08:45.listening to your local radio station from the BBC for
:08:45. > :08:51.information as the evening goes on. The worst conditions may not be
:08:51. > :08:56.over yet. Take care travelling back, sent you for bringing us the latest.
:08:56. > :09:01.Some incidents still going on as we speak. Paul is here. We know it was
:09:01. > :09:04.forecast. Incredibly we concentrated on the speed of the
:09:04. > :09:08.winter and the force of the water seems to be what most people are
:09:08. > :09:11.noticing. It was very heavy rain on the cold front and there has been
:09:11. > :09:15.snow over the tops of the hills which is causing rivers to be
:09:15. > :09:19.swollen. From a wind speed point of view we had 72 miles an hour at
:09:19. > :09:23.Church Fenton and many stations recorded in excess of 60 miles an
:09:23. > :09:26.hour. Normally, when you get above 70 miles an hour, there is a lot
:09:26. > :09:30.more disruption than we have seen this afternoon. Quite whether --
:09:30. > :09:35.quite why there has not been is anybody's guess but there has been
:09:35. > :09:37.it will land winds are picking up. We have had 60 miles an hour at
:09:37. > :09:42.Leeds-Bradford Airport in the last ten minutes. The warning is still
:09:42. > :09:46.in force for the next six hours and we could see disruption. Lots of
:09:46. > :09:49.mentions about things going over six ft fences but it goes to prove
:09:49. > :09:55.that if you have anything, take it inside because the biggest danger
:09:55. > :09:59.for drivers is things blowing over, trees still. Definitely. It may be
:09:59. > :10:03.that people have taken heed of the warnings issued yesterday on
:10:03. > :10:07.weather forecasts. I was in Leeds this lunchtime and it was did it --
:10:07. > :10:12.it was deserted. A gust of 72 miles an hour, you would usually expect
:10:12. > :10:17.more problems. He will be here later to tell us. It is not over
:10:17. > :10:21.yet. No, I don't think it is. weather is causing disruption on
:10:21. > :10:27.the roads in Yorkshire. Flooding has closed the A6108 Middleham Road
:10:27. > :10:34.at Leyburn and the A684 at Hawes. In South Yorkshire strong winds
:10:34. > :10:44.have closed the A628 Woodhead Pass between the A616 and A57 Woolley
:10:44. > :11:21.
:11:21. > :11:25.The flight from Malaga will come in at 8:30pm. We are back at 8pm and
:11:25. > :11:29.10pm and Paul will be busy in between. He will have the latest in
:11:29. > :11:35.about 20 minutes on those predicted high winds.
:11:35. > :11:38.Still to come on Look North. Setting our big cities free. Nick
:11:39. > :11:47.Clegg has pledged to Sheffield and Leeds council's, he says they can
:11:47. > :11:51.have more freedom from Westminster. There is more depressing jobs news
:11:51. > :11:55.that our region. The Bradford-based chain of shoe shops has been placed
:11:55. > :11:59.in administration putting thousands of jobs at risk. It is the second
:11:59. > :12:04.time Barratts, which employs 4,000 people across the country, has gone
:12:04. > :12:07.into administration. Alan Whitehouse reports.
:12:07. > :12:10.It is two weeks before what Christmas in Leeds. There are
:12:10. > :12:16.plenty of people browsing in Barratts but not many people are
:12:16. > :12:21.buying anything. Why? They did not have what I was looking for. I'm
:12:21. > :12:25.doing a mission to see what is out there. Nobody came up to me but
:12:25. > :12:28.I've literally walked in and had to browse and came out again. Not
:12:28. > :12:33.really that interested in buying anything at the moment. Just to see
:12:33. > :12:40.what bargains there were. They are not very nice shoes. Not what I'm
:12:40. > :12:44.looking for. The company employs just under 4,000 staff at 190 shops,
:12:45. > :12:49.plus concessions in other stores. The traders Priceless Shoes.
:12:49. > :12:52.Yorkshire will be hit by job losses because in addition to the shops
:12:52. > :12:57.the headquarters is here. So far there is no news of what might
:12:57. > :13:02.happen here but the area's MP says it is another blow. These are
:13:02. > :13:05.desperately worrying times at all times of the year. We are in a
:13:05. > :13:09.terrible financial mess as a country, trying to get out of that
:13:09. > :13:13.financial crisis that we are in and that means there are lots of people
:13:13. > :13:19.who are concerned about their futures, but none mosso than the
:13:19. > :13:22.workers in this particular factory. Barratts is part of the former
:13:22. > :13:26.style lope shoe empire. It has been a big high-street name for decades
:13:26. > :13:31.but now the future is uncertain. Administrators say they will keep
:13:31. > :13:33.shops open for the time being but for the work force their run no
:13:33. > :13:37.long-term guarantees. The high street is treating the worst
:13:37. > :13:40.pounding that anyone can remember. Too many customers are paying off
:13:40. > :13:43.mortgages and repaying credit cards instead of spending. That has meant
:13:43. > :13:53.some big high-street names have disappeared and the only certainty
:13:53. > :13:56.
:13:56. > :14:02.is that others will follow before Child serial killer Robert Black
:14:02. > :14:06.has had his jail sentence extended. The 64-year-old murdered Sarah
:14:06. > :14:11.Harper from Morley near Leeds, and two other young girls, in the 1980s.
:14:11. > :14:14.He has been given a further 25 years for killing a nine-year-old
:14:14. > :14:18.girl in Northern Ireland. A meeting to discuss controversial
:14:18. > :14:23.plans to build a large new Tesco supermarket in Scarborough is under
:14:23. > :14:27.way. There has been some local opposition to the plant stall, with
:14:27. > :14:33.a petition against the scheme at Dean Road receiving more than 5,000
:14:33. > :14:38.petitions. -- signatures. Doncaster Council has announced plans to cut
:14:38. > :14:42.the pay of almost 7,000 staff. Most will lose 4% of their salary and
:14:42. > :14:47.see their hours reduced. The council says it will produce --
:14:47. > :14:53.protect around 250 jobs, but 600 jobs will still have to go. Unions
:14:53. > :14:57.have described the plans as unacceptable. They are deeply
:14:57. > :15:02.unfair across the board. The proposal the council has presented
:15:02. > :15:06.only include very marginal protections, for a very small
:15:06. > :15:11.number of low-paid workers. For everyone else, it will result in
:15:11. > :15:15.pay cuts of hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds. It is really
:15:15. > :15:21.hard for them and it is a painful Asker, but we are in extremely
:15:21. > :15:25.painful circumstances and it is about the balance between this and
:15:25. > :15:29.damage to other individuals and services. Staff understand the
:15:29. > :15:33.context. Two Yorkshire's cities will get more control over more
:15:33. > :15:37.powers currently in the hands of officials in London. Sheffield and
:15:37. > :15:40.Leeds will be able to take over many of the budgets currently run
:15:40. > :15:50.by central government. The government says it is a power shift
:15:50. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :15:57.that will said big cities free of control. -- set.
:15:57. > :16:02.Spot the odd ones out, from Sheffield, the City of Leeds,
:16:02. > :16:06.Wakefield and, lastly, the City of Bradford. Today, Leeds and
:16:06. > :16:12.Sheffield became quite a bit different. It was Nick Clegg who
:16:12. > :16:18.got that news for them. We are here to discuss an immensely important
:16:18. > :16:25.issue, if not the most important issue facing our country, which is
:16:25. > :16:28.how we rebalance our country's very lopsided economy. The big idea
:16:28. > :16:32.spelt out to this audience of politicians, council chief
:16:32. > :16:37.executives and business leaders gathered in Leeds, is to allow aid
:16:37. > :16:42.of England's biggest cities - the two from Yorkshire be in Leeds and
:16:42. > :16:46.Sheffield - to take powers and budgets currently in the hands of
:16:46. > :16:49.central government and boost their own local economies as they see fit.
:16:49. > :16:54.It is the biggest transfer of freedom and new powers to cities
:16:54. > :16:59.like Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham in generations. We
:17:00. > :17:03.are giving more power over money, transport, rail, road projects, how
:17:03. > :17:07.you provide skills to young people, how you provide welfare.
:17:07. > :17:11.practical terms, it will allow Leeds and Sheffield to co-ordinate
:17:11. > :17:16.apprentice and skills training to meet local needs. Business rates
:17:16. > :17:22.will be set and spend locally, allowing tens of millions to be
:17:22. > :17:26.borrowed on the strength of that. Discounts on rates to attract new
:17:26. > :17:31.business, and a control in public transport, deciding where and when
:17:31. > :17:35.buses and trains will run. So will that give these cities an advantage
:17:35. > :17:41.over the rest of Yorkshire? believe in collaboration and we
:17:41. > :17:49.have got other big cities to work with, like York, Bradford,
:17:49. > :17:52.Wakefield's, who are also important in terms of up all for all economy.
:17:52. > :17:56.-- hour overall economy. government says it will make the
:17:56. > :18:03.changes by next spring, and it might have some more news for other
:18:03. > :18:06.cities next year. Before 7 o'clock: Carrying a flame
:18:06. > :18:16.- hundreds in Yorkshire discover that they will carry the Olympic
:18:16. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :18:24.We love this lady and there has been a lot of controversy that she
:18:24. > :18:27.was not mentioned in the BBC awards, so congratulations to Doncaster's
:18:27. > :18:33.Sarah Stevenson, who has been named Sunday Times Sportswoman of the
:18:33. > :18:36.Year. She is the taekwondo world champion and his brilliant. She is
:18:36. > :18:40.28 but it has not been a good year for her, because you have lost both
:18:40. > :18:48.her parents in the last year. She recently won the Yorkshire Award
:18:48. > :18:53.for Sporting Achievement. -- she has lost. Winning this is such a
:18:53. > :18:58.nice end to the year. I am looking forward to January now, and that is
:18:58. > :19:03.when everything will be focused. It will not be Sarah who lost her
:19:03. > :19:06.parents, but Sarah who is going for gold in London. Hundreds of people
:19:06. > :19:10.from across Yorkshire were today told that they will get to carry
:19:10. > :19:14.the Olympic torch throughout the county next year. Thousands were
:19:14. > :19:19.nominated for the honour. I will be talking to two very proud women
:19:19. > :19:24.surely, who have been chosen, but first, we have been out to me two
:19:24. > :19:28.inspirational young men who have been paid. Let's introduce you to
:19:28. > :19:33.12-year-old George Stocker from Little Ribston, near Wetherby, and
:19:33. > :19:37.Paul Haygreen from Elland. For one, the Love Is rugby but for
:19:37. > :19:42.the other it is football. They will both carry the torch. The George
:19:42. > :19:46.has been playing rugby since he was under seven but then he got ill,
:19:46. > :19:51.but now he is back and he will be the Olympic torch bearer. Just 12
:19:51. > :19:54.years old, George Stocker has already raised �50,000 for fellow
:19:54. > :19:58.cancer patients. He was on a rugby tour when he started feeling sick
:19:58. > :20:02.and getting headaches. A week later, he was diagnosed with a brain
:20:02. > :20:05.tumour. An operation to remove it and cure therapy meant he had to
:20:05. > :20:11.give up the sport he loved for a while, so he put his energy into
:20:11. > :20:14.charity work. I went through such a horrible time and a horrible
:20:14. > :20:21.experience, and I always just thought of others. I never thought
:20:21. > :20:27.of myself and what I was going through. I knew that someone else

:20:50. > :20:54.that is why I want to perform. I need to keep control of it. He also
:20:54. > :21:00.works with younger children with diabetes and has a very clear

:21:12. > :21:19.be as easy but if you want to do something, it will not stop you. --
:21:19. > :21:23.they should do. It is massive for me. It will be part of the history
:21:23. > :21:27.and the Olympics. It is a great honour. I feel very honoured and
:21:27. > :21:31.excited. It has not really sunk in yet.
:21:31. > :21:39.Two others have just been found out that they have been chosen as Torch
:21:39. > :21:46.bearers. We know Hannah Cockcroft. That is a wonderful thing. We have
:21:46. > :21:50.not met Helen McKenzie, who is from Britain. You had cancer. But you do
:21:50. > :21:55.brilliantly. Yes, it is all gone. And in celebration you will be
:21:55. > :22:00.carrying the torch. You must be thrilled! I am utterly thrilled,
:22:00. > :22:06.really humbled, honoured, proud, flattered. All these words come to
:22:06. > :22:10.mind. I am over the moon. It must have been a rough and tough time.
:22:10. > :22:16.It is tough for all of us - the whole family, friends - cancer does

:22:19. > :22:24.every woman who has ever felt the fear of finding a lump and anyone
:22:24. > :22:28.who has ever heard the word and elegant. And you are proof that you
:22:28. > :22:38.can beat it. Have you been training yet? Yes, I have been out running
:22:38. > :22:42.today, in the rain! -- the word malignant. Hannah, I know you are
:22:42. > :22:47.very modest, but run down the current titles that you hold.
:22:47. > :22:53.Recently I got a name to the Aviva and UK Athletics British Paralympic
:22:53. > :22:58.Performance of the Year 2011. I got nominated for thought the Sunday
:22:58. > :23:02.Times Sportswoman of the Year, but I have not heard of by one that yet.
:23:02. > :23:08.I was up again some big names, so there were some really deserving
:23:08. > :23:16.girls. I was double world champion at the beginning of the deer,
:23:16. > :23:19.double world junior champion... Apart from that, a quiet year!
:23:19. > :23:23.does the torch mean? I know that the Olympics is very much in your
:23:23. > :23:30.site. When that torture comes to Yorkshire, it will be real, won't
:23:31. > :23:34.For me, the past four years, I have worked so hard and everyone around
:23:34. > :23:41.me has worked so hard, and I think it will show that it is my time to
:23:41. > :23:45.shine. I need to get my head down and work on this. I will begin then
:23:45. > :23:53.and it will make it real. It is my first Paralympic Games at home. I
:23:53. > :23:57.am really excited! And I presume, ladies, you want those of us who
:23:57. > :24:07.will be watching to be out on the streets screaming for you and
:24:07. > :24:07.
:24:07. > :24:12.cheering your name. Yes, I hope so. There are 3,300 children in all the
:24:12. > :24:15.schools that I work with, so I hope they will be lining busy streets. I
:24:15. > :24:22.have championed Ripon children since I came into by post and this

:24:54. > :24:58.
:24:58. > :25:06.we have experienced today. A lot of places above 60 mph. The warning is
:25:06. > :25:12.still in place, with costs around 60 mph. -- with winds around 60
:25:12. > :25:20.miles per hour. Around Wharfedale, we could get some of funnelling. It
:25:20. > :25:27.could be Leeds that has the highest gusts. Tadley packed isobars but by
:25:27. > :25:32.tomorrow, few of them and it is a different direction. -- tightly.
:25:32. > :25:36.The colt from wraps all the way around a matter is what caused the
:25:36. > :25:41.72 Mowbray a gust at Church Fenton this afternoon. A fair number of
:25:41. > :25:45.showers. Hale reported in Skipton in the last hour or so, too. Be
:25:45. > :25:50.showers will turn increasingly wintry, so there could be a
:25:50. > :25:57.covering of snow over the Pennines by the end of the night. Ice will
:25:57. > :26:07.be an added hazard. The gales are moderating later tonight. That is
:26:07. > :26:11.
:26:11. > :26:15.the good news, but there will be A much Calder day to come tomorrow,
:26:15. > :26:20.with partly cloudy skies. Sunny spells and a scattering of wintry
:26:20. > :26:28.showers. Through the afternoon, there could be a band of wintry
:26:28. > :26:37.showers of Hull, sleet or snow. Some sunny spells in between it and
:26:37. > :26:42.a fresh westerly wind. -- showers of hail. There is a big drop in
:26:43. > :26:49.temperatures tomorrow, so a cold snapper once more. Saturday will be
:26:49. > :26:54.a day or sunny intervals and scattered, wintry showers. A few of
:26:54. > :27:01.those getting further east but most will be in the West. On Sunday, it
:27:01. > :27:06.rain in the South West, preceded by snow for a time.
:27:06. > :27:10.Keep on training, ladies, and thank you, Paul. Let's go back to hurry
:27:10. > :27:15.to see how he is getting on outside. You have the latest on that
:27:15. > :27:20.accident for us, don't you? Yes, we have more details about the
:27:20. > :27:24.RAF helicopter rescue. Two people were rescued from the River Ure in
