Welcome to Friday's Look North, Yorkshire's top stories tonight: | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
Going back to the Falklands 30 years after the war. | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
We follow a Yorkshire veteran as he returns to the islands and finds | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
the Argentine fighter jet he shot down. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Also on this evening's programme: The Sheffield student facing | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
extradition to the US for breaking copyright laws. His mum tells us | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
why she'll appeal against the ruling. I am fighting for my son's | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
life, that is why. I would do it for anybody in the family. It is | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
not just because he have my fun. I do not want people to think I am | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
treating him like a baby but he does not have a clue about anything | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
like this. And we're with the children finding | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
out what landed in this York playground today. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
The view in York must have been spectacular today. A lot of fine | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
unsettled weather to come this weekend. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Welcome to the programme. First tonight the extraordinary story of | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
a veteran from Leeds who's been back to the Falkland Islands 30 | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
years after the war there. Neil Wilkinson was just 22-years-old in | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
1982, when he shot down an Argentinian fighter jet. Now, he's | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
met the pilot he shot. But tonight, Neil goes back to the islands | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
themselves, where three decades on, he makes an amazing discovery. Our | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
:01:39. | :01:39. | ||
reporter Nicola Rees went with him to meet the enemy. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
8,000 miles away in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean a lie the | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Falkland Islands. Today they are a peace for land remote British | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
outpost but in 1982 a bitter war was fought here with the loss of | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
more than 900 lives. Thousands of personal stories of bravery and | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
survival came out of the war. To this day one of the most | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
extraordinary has never been told. Neil Wilkinson from Leeds was just | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
22 years old when a, as a gunner on board a British ship, he shot down | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
an Argentine fighter jet on 27th May 1982. The aircraft attacked. I | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
leapt into the gun and started the motor. I fired six rounds at him | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
and hit the aircraft. Smoke came out of the back of the aircraft and | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
I thought that there was no way he could get out of it all survive. | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
Neil was haunted by the fact he had hot -- killed a man. Mario no | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Velasco had ejected from his aircraft. He was one of Argentina's | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
best fighter pilots. Despite these grievous losses, neither Resolfen | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
nor our confidence is weakened. Neale's returned to the Falklands | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
for the first time since the 1980s and he is about to see the place | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
where the war ended for the fighter pilot. It is a strange feeling. To | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
look at this. There are bits strewn all over the place and it is still | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
here. I just do not know how he got out of it. I know he did eject... | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
Luckily for him he did. It is unbelievable. The plane came down | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
with such force that even after 30 years a deep impact crater remains. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Coming back here has been a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity for neil | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
but his next stop is Argentina where he will face his biggest | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
challenge. When I come face-to-face with the very same pilot the tyre | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
tact that day it will be raw emotion. It probably is now really. | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
In just a few days' time, neil will meet the man he tried to kill. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Remarkable pictures and Neil will be with us on Monday's programme | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
when you can see the moment he met the pilot he shot down, Mariano | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Balasco. And you can see the full story in a special edition of | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Inside Out on Monday. Meeting The Enemy is at 7.30pm on BBC One. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
A judge has ruled a Sheffield student who created a web-site to | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
help people watch films and television programmes for free can | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
be extradited to the United States. Richard O'Dwyer who's 23 is accused | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
of infringing copyright, a charge which carries a five year jail term. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
But Richard says his website didn't break the law as it didn't host the | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
copyright material. He says he'll appeal against the decision. Our | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
reporter Dan Johnson has spent the day in London and joins us now. We | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
should warn you there is some flash photography throughout this item. | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
Dan, this wasn't the outcome the O'Dwyer family was hoping for? | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
No, this case has been going on for more than one year and it has still | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
has plenty of time left to run. This ruling will be a major | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
disappointment to Richard O'Dwyer. He is a young man who originally | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
set up this website as part of his computer studies at Sheffield | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
Hallam University. He has not given much reaction to the news yet but I | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
have spoken to his mother and she feels very strongly that the US | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
authorities are trying to make an example of her son. No letters, no | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
communication, just a bit heavy- handed approach by superpower | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
America. I think they are disgusting. They should sort their | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
own country's criminals out before coming over here. Why are you | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
determined to carry on fighting this? I am fighting for my son's | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
life. I would do it for anybody in the family. It is not just because | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
he is my son and I do not want people to think I am treating him | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
like a baby but he does not have a clue about anything like this. He | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
just sits on his computer all day. This thing is totally wrong to him. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
He feels it is ridiculous. I think we can see they're very upset | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
mother and you can understand the reaction but let us be honest, | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
Richard was making money from the side. He certainly was. The site | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
was set up in 2008 and although Richard argues that he did not | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
break the law because he was never actually hosting the film or TV | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
content on his website, his side did provide links to other website | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
which did have that Copyright infringe material there. It was a | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
very popular side. We were told that at one stage 185,000 people a | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
month were visiting the site. At one point it became one of the top | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
2000 website in the world because it was so popular. Because the site | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
carried advertising him in that heat generated income for Richard | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
O'Dwyer. He was at one stage making about �15,000 a month from the | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
advertising on the website and it is reckoned that in total he earned | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
about �150,000 from the side. The American authorities are keen to | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
point out that copyright infringement costs the media | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
industry their billions of dollars and that results in job losses. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
They say that this site has contributed to those losses. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
What happens next? He can appeal and has two weeks to | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
do that. A family say that is their intention. He has been given bail | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
so he will go back home tonight but this is far from over. | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
It is really complicated, isn't it? Joining us now is Chris Tulley, a | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
copyright lawyer from Leeds. Does this sound like harsh | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
treatment to you? It can be. The issue they were arguing about today | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
is that whether he had any control over the website or if he was just | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
a conduit and did not know who was put in the links on or what they | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
were. In this country, if you worry conduit like Google, you're not | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
responsible for what is on that. The judge went further today | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
because he was betting he was allowed on to the website to place | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
the links so that gave him control. His defence was that he did not | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
place the material and he merely gave links to it. How do you think | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
that will stand up in an American court of law? They want to charge | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
him with two separate offences. One is infringing copyright and the | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
other is conspiracy to infringe, that he was not doing it himself | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
but he was part of the gang. They are saying he was a ringleader. | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
is so complicated, a copper right. Who owns a what? It is a complex | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
subject and easy to fall foul of the law. It is a very complex area | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and as the internet has developed and the law has had to change to | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
keep pace a bit. They are using extradition laws to get him across | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
to America. Those laws were primarily brought in after 9/11 for | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
terrorism offences. So they are nothing to do with copyright law, | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
just to do with 9/11? So what happened next. The issue he faces | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
is that this is just the first stage. They're just arresting him | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
in order to charge him with the offence. The trial would be months | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
later and what would happen in between? He could end up in custody | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
on remand for some considerable time. Thank you very much for | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
trying to explain a complex issue. Later on tonight's programme: | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
The price of education, why a private firm is being urged not to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
take a bonus from cash-strapped schools in a Yorkshire city. | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
A man who tried to murder his girlfriend by burying her alive in | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
a cardboard box in woodland near their Huddersfield, has been jailed | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
for 20 years. Last month 25-year- old Marcin Kasprazak was found | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
guilty of attacking Michelina Lewandowska with a stun gun at | :10:27. | :10:37. | |
:10:37. | :10:41. | ||
their home. She used her engagement ring to cut her way out of the box. | :10:41. | :10:50. | |
Ed Thomas has this report and it does contain flash photography. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
Michelina Lewandowska said she had loved and trusted her fiance. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Marcin Kasprazak had become bored of her and tried to kill her by | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
burying her life. Today he was sentenced to 20 years, of to be | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
:11:14. | :11:19. | ||
served in prison and the rest on Marcin Kasprazak lived here with | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Michelina Lewandowska and their three-year-old son. It was here | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
that he twice used this Taser to stand his fiancee. She was then | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
placed into a large cardboard box. In this police photograph you can | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
see the tape that was used to hold her inside. Patrick Boris helped to | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
carry her out of the house. She was taken here with her arms and legs | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
taped together and both men dug a hole in the ground and covered the | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
box in soil and placed a branch on top. This is the exact spot where | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
she was buried. The jury was told she could hear what was happening | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
but was too scared to shout out. Michelina Lewandowska said that | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
once she was alone she used her engagement ring to scratch away at | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
the tape around her legs. Exhausted and with soil falling on to her | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
face she found a hole in the box and managed to tear a way out. She | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
said that trying to escape was exhausting. Here is what saved her | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
life, the engagement ring she used to cut her way out of the box. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Michelina Lewandowska says she still has nightmares about what | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
happened to her and hopes that one day her former fiance will realise | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
:12:49. | :12:49. | ||
The funeral has taken place today of a couple from Leeds killed in a | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
car crash on New Year's day. Dorothy and David Metcalf, who were | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
both in their sixties, died on the Stanningley Bypass as a result of | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
their injuries. 26-year-old Eduard Mereohra has been charged with | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
causing death by dangerous driving. The Chancellor, George Osborne, has | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
insisted that High Speed Rail will come to Sheffield and Leeds despite | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
initial plans only covering the route from London to Birmingham. On | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
a tour of Leeds station this morning the chancellor met business | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
leaders to reassure them that the line would be completed in 2033. | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
are not seeking to get out of this. When you to say, absolutely, we | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
want to bring high-speed rail here to Leeds, and it is a very | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
important part of the connecting the Yorkshire economy to the | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Midlands and to creating jobs. This government has a vision of high- | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
speed rail bringing together did different parts of the country to | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
make sure that all parts share in the prosperity of Britain. | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Detectives say that the man who died in a fire-engulfed house | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
yesterday, had been murdered before the blaze was started. | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
Investigations are under way to find out why 28-year-old Amjad | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Hussain was brutally killed in the early afternoon as he was alone in | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
his house in the Undercliffe area. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
reports. At first it seemed Amjad Hussain | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
had been killed by a fire as he was alone in his home in Bradford | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
yesterday lunchtime. But detectives soon found that Mr Hussain had | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:31. | ||
suffered neck injuries from a sharp-bladed weapon. My hypothesis | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
is that a murder happened in a house and it was set on fire after | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
reds. The police believe that the fire happened after he was attacked | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
and that is what alerted the neighbours. He was described as a | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
much-loved family man without any apparent problems. A neighbour had | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
watched yesterday's incident unfold. I am really shocked. Yesterday, | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
everybody was in shock. Everybody was panicking and we just got to | :15:04. | :15:13. | |
get there and am really sorry about him. Who could do this? A mile away | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
in Falmouth Avenue, detectives had extended their investigations to | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
another house in Undercliffe this afternoon. But the main | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
concentration remained on the murder scene at 32 Rylestone | :15:21. | :15:30. | |
Gardens. We know roughly when this happened, yesterday morning. We | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
know where it happened, but we do not know why it happened. I am | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
appealing for members of the public to come forward. Tonight, a | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
grieving widow and her young son are asking why Amjad Hussain was so | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
suddenly murdered in their peaceful family home. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Before seven o'clock: Fighting for a top spot. Sheffield Wednesday | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
look to take three points from the League One leaders. | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
And the story of how these Yorkshire schoolchildren came face | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
:16:08. | :16:12. | ||
to face with an extra terrestrial That did not look like an extra- | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
terrestrial! It did not! We will find out more | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
later! Now what do Australian Prisons, Air | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Traffic Control in Abu Dhabi and Bradford Schools have in common? | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
The answer is they're all been run at one time by the same company. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Serco managed Bradford's schools for ten years. Now it's emerged | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
that taxpayers face paying a bonus of hundreds of thousands of pounds | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
to the company for improving education standards. It comes as | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
the city faces a �6 million shortfall in its education budget. | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
Here's Sean Stowell. The company has a wide range of | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
contracts and over the 10 years of education Bradford, it was paid to | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
raise standards and given targets including raising attainment levels | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
at under 16 and across all ethnic groups and dealing with truancy. If | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
the schools hit targets, they got incentive payments, the first one | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
was in 2001 of �8,000. After renegotiating the contract so that | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
targets were lowered, the second payment was �880,000. The payment | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
for the 10th year has yet to be castellated and unions are claiming | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
in the light of education Bradford's alleged lack of success | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
and the forthcoming cuts in schools, Serco should forgo the final amount. | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
We are very angry that his company has walked away with millions of | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
pounds from the education service in a very poor city without having | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
delivered what they promised to deliver, and women look at the fact | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
that the people that run that company paid themselves absolutely | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
vast amounts of money that no one in this city announce themselves. | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
No one from Serco or from the council would comment on camera, | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
but the council said they were contractually obliged to pay up. | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Serco that made �23 million in profit from the first time last | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
year from Rover ride contracts defended its reputation in | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
Yorkshire saying that improvements were made in their 10 years. -- | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
worldwide. Well, this story will be on the | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Sunday Politics Show this weekend. It's the start of a new series and | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
the presenter Tim Iredale joins us now. What else are you looking at | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
on the programme? If we are looking at changes to the way that public | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
sector workers are paid. At the moment, we were apparently paid the | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
same as a nurse would in Bristol, we want to make sure that pay has | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
negotiated at a local level, people say that people in Yorkshire would | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
be worse off if it is negotiated at a local level. Is it to do with | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
things like London weighting, we get paid more if you live in a more | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
expensive area? In welfare areas, perhaps like Harrogate, nurses and | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
teachers would get more work than areas that are less wealthy like | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Rotherham or Barnsley, they are paid less. If does the programme | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
has a new look? If yes, Sunday politics, Andrew Neil is the | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
presenter in London. One of the few people that is on the telly and | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
more often than you! Starts at 12 noon, Andrew Neil presents the | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
network part in London, and I would do the local edition in Yorkshire. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Thankfully, we do not have to have the same hairstyle! What you think | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
will dominate this series? To quote bill Clinton, it is all about the | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
pounds in our pockets, or lack of pounds in our pockets, many people | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
in Yorkshire feeling the pinch, and we will be asking the politicians | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
what is being done to keep job saying Yorkshire and create new | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
jobs in Yorkshire and the money spent in the region and by the town | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
hall, is it spent wisely in these difficult times? Abbas in the | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
viewers can influence the topics you will be looking at its? -- I | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
presume the viewers can influence. Yes, you can get in touch with us, | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
you can e-mail us and get in touch with us on Twitter, we also want to | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
bring the ordinary people in here into the studio to confront your MP. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
Enjoy the new series! Thank you. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Sport now - and there's one story that dominates the football | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
fixtures here in Yorkshire. And it's the continuing story of the | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
race to get out of League One. Sheffield United are back in the | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
top two, of course, since Tuesday night. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
But tomorrow, they'll also be asking for a favour from their | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
"friends" and neighbours, Sheffield Wednesday. That's because Wednesday | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
host league leaders Charlton at Hillsborough. Here's Paul Ogden. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
We cannot ignore it any more. Annie time that Wednesday or Sheffield | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
United or Huddersfield Town play any match in League One, all three | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
clubs and their fans will be holding their breath, and that's | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
not all that the three neighbours have in common. Charlton must be | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
stifled. Which ever Yorkshire promotion hopeful they are up | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
against. We would struggle in stifling the opposition, I do not | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
think we have the players to do it. We have to back thousands and | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
thousands of fans that not only are terrific in terms of the members | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
that they turn up in, but the vocal backing that they give us and the | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
intelligence that they have got, it is a big plus. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Space, the final frontier! The clear skies we're having are | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
perfect for a spot of star gazing, which is just as well, because all | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
eyes at St Peter's School in York are looking skywards tonight as | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
part of a special day of space exploration. There are a lot of | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
places doing this, because it is a good time forehead. The school's | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
infant department has spent the day exploring the final frontier, and | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
next week, the BBC kicks off its own star-gazing extravaganza with | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
events across the country. But in York, it all started with a | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:32. | ||
mysterious event. Cathy Killick reports. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
8:25am, a rocket has landed in the school playground in York. The | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
origins, and mystery, or perhaps not. Whatever, the children are on | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
the case. I do not know what happens, it is just weird! It was | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
not there yesterday! What's going on here?! We had not got stuck to | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
the police yet. It was really strange, we tried to investigate it. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
The mystery of the universe is the great unsolved problem, but | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
engaging and minds is the best chance of solving it. It is an area | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
of science that people get enthusiastic about, and if we can | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
use that to make sure that everyone finds that enthusiasm and wonder, | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
then we have a major step for word. You don't see a mobile Planetarium | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
every day in the classroom, no wonder they can't wait to get stuck | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
in! If it belongs to the University of York, and the children had a | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
lesson they will never forget. saw this land, and I didn't think | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
it would be that big! -- we saw the sun. It is huge. The space bus | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
provided the venue for sampling astronaut food and their home-made | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
rockets fired, and that wasn't all. The end of the date someone | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
unexpected visitor emerging from the rocket! Paul the alien! If only | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
every day at school could be like this. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
And the space bus will be in Bradford tomorrow at a Big Screen | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
event from noon if you fancy trying some space food or putting on a | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
space suit. You can find out what's happening across Yorkshire as part | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
of the BBC's Stargazing event over the next few days by logging on to | :24:19. | :24:29. | |

How much to be a weather forecaster you need to know about the stars? | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
None at all. You get really excited about some of France and all this | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
kind of thing, do the stars do it for you? Yes, part of my degree was | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
planetary physics. And he passed it? I don't know how! I am at the | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Yorkshire Museum on Tuesday and there is a big exhibition about the | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
planet Mars, so it will be a big event. Professor Brian Cox will be | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
there. He has that same massive profile. He knows what he's talking | :25:12. | :25:22. | |

The reservoir levels then nearly 100 % at the moment. They were | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
looking depleted in the autumn, but all of the reign of the last six | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
weeks has done the reservoir levels very good. The sun rise this | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
morning, after the sunset last night, a very pretty picture. You | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
can e-mail us your pick shares. A quiet weekend. The crisp, cold, dry | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
weather, lovely for walking along the coast or in the hills. Some | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
patchy fog tomorrow, at this time of the year, if it develops it is | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
reluctant to clear. In general, and nice, quiet weekend. All parts will | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
be dry. Temperatures this afternoon, just reaching 5 degrees. We're down | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
to minus two degrees at one point. Of frost out there and will | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
continue to fall. Clear skies, habit of patchy rain. The fog will | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
melt away and when it is spots could be down to-six degrees. 21 | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
:26:44. | :26:46. | ||
degrees Fahrenheit. a frost with some patchy fog in the Vale of York. | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
Bywater in Scarborough at 720 3am. Tomorrow morning, a frosty start, | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
cold, and the fog will be slow to clear. In general, bright with some | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
sunshine and all parts will be dry. Temperatures will struggle. Into | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
the afternoon, a light and variable breezes in Scarborough. It should | :27:08. | :27:17. | |
reach five degrees. In parts of the Vale of York, two were 3 degrees. 4 | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
degrees Celsius in some places. More mist and fog and low cloud on | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Sunday. Reluctance to clear cannot do places as the sunshine and it | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
will be fine through Monday and hopefully Tuesday. | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
That is a proper winter's day coming up! | :27:33. | :27:36. |
