:00:44. > :00:51.And we look at Yorkshire's forgotten explorer, the remarkable

:00:52. > :00:55.story of the Whitby man who tried to the Antarctic with Shackleton.

:00:55. > :00:59.And I will be live in Sheffield talking to three swimmers who have

:00:59. > :01:07.already booked their place at this summer's games. Plus we look

:01:07. > :01:11.forward to a big boxing fight. Join me for the weather. These were

:01:11. > :01:21.the sunny skies over South Yorkshire earlier. I will have the

:01:21. > :01:25.

:01:25. > :01:28.Good evening. More than 400 soldiers from the Yorkshire

:01:28. > :01:32.Regiment have taken part in a farewell parade as they prepare to

:01:32. > :01:36.go to Afghanistan. They also attended a service to remember the

:01:36. > :01:40.six soldiers who died in Afghanistan last week. Nicola Rees

:01:40. > :01:46.has been at the battalion's headquarters in Warminster, and she

:01:46. > :01:52.joined us now. It has been an incredibly difficult

:01:52. > :01:56.to 10 days for people in Yorkshire. The people are still really trying

:01:56. > :02:00.to desperately come to terms with that loss of life in Afghanistan.

:02:00. > :02:06.Six soldiers killed by a roadside bomb in Helmand province, five of

:02:06. > :02:10.them from this regiment. That battalion has been out on the

:02:10. > :02:14.streets marching through the town as thousands of people turned out

:02:14. > :02:19.to watch them and show their support, to say goodbye and to say

:02:19. > :02:23.good luck. Many had to travel hundreds of miles to be there, so

:02:23. > :02:27.it was in no mood for celebration, a time to feel proud about the

:02:27. > :02:34.armed forces, but it was an event are tinged with sadness at the

:02:34. > :02:39.forefront of everybody's minds. It is a very sad day. It is very

:02:39. > :02:45.emotional. It is difficult when you have got kids as well, and their

:02:45. > :02:50.step dad is going out there, and they ask questions.

:02:50. > :02:57.Terrible. Absolutely terrible. You hear about the odd one now and then,

:02:57. > :03:01.but when there is a group of lads like that, it is heartbreaking.

:03:01. > :03:05.I think it is a great thing that everyone has come out to show their

:03:05. > :03:08.support for people. It is fantastic that the whole

:03:08. > :03:13.community and civilian community have turned out.

:03:14. > :03:18.Good luck! Nicola, today was very moving, but

:03:18. > :03:23.it had been planned for some time, the march through Warminster. What

:03:23. > :03:27.a new dimension it has taken on widows fatalities?

:03:27. > :03:37.Yes, this was a plate upon it parade, so it was planned as

:03:37. > :03:40.several months ago. -- deployment. It was a private service, an

:03:40. > :03:43.opportunity for families and friends and the soldiers themselves

:03:43. > :03:48.to make an act of remembrance for those of fallen soldiers in

:03:49. > :03:53.Afghanistan. The Last Post was sounded, and a roll of honour was

:03:53. > :03:59.read out. It was a very private affair, but the majority of family

:03:59. > :04:05.and friends were from Yorkshire. I have come down to watch in today

:04:05. > :04:10.to see him off. It has been quite an emotional day anyway, I am so

:04:10. > :04:15.nervous. He did us proud. I am so proud.

:04:15. > :04:18.You have to not worry about it, because Odyssey with it being so

:04:18. > :04:22.close to home, lots of people have been through it.

:04:22. > :04:28.You have to stay focused and be strong for our lads. But that is

:04:28. > :04:32.the main point. Our lads are going to come home safe, that is what I

:04:32. > :04:36.have to focus on. People here have been out in force

:04:36. > :04:41.to support the troops, but here, just like in Yorkshire, people are

:04:41. > :04:46.still grieving. There is a mounting pile of floral tributes here at

:04:46. > :04:50.headquarters. Daily life in the armed forces has to go on as normal.

:04:50. > :04:54.Soldiers are getting ready to deploy, but all that time, new

:04:55. > :04:58.recruits are signing up. I have been in Catterick where some of

:04:58. > :05:02.these new recruits have been taking part in their infantry training.

:05:02. > :05:10.They will be joining this buried Italian, and I have been speaking

:05:10. > :05:16.to them about how they felt when they heard the news.

:05:16. > :05:22.Every two weeks, 150 new recruits arrive at the victory Training

:05:22. > :05:26.Centre in Catterick. This is their first taste of life in the military.

:05:26. > :05:31.-- Infantry Training Centre. These recruits are five weeks into

:05:31. > :05:34.their training. Some are just 17 years old. Depending on their

:05:34. > :05:39.performances, they are about to be presented with their regimental

:05:39. > :05:41.berets. Receiving the beret is a

:05:41. > :05:45.significant rite of passage, but it is also the start of a tough

:05:45. > :05:50.journey into the army. This is not for the faint-hearted, but there

:05:50. > :05:54.are advantages. There was a lot of banter and it is

:05:54. > :05:58.good fun. It is a completely different life.

:05:58. > :06:03.It is good. Many of these young men will go on

:06:03. > :06:08.to join the Yorkshire Regiment. Some, like 18-year-old Nathan from

:06:08. > :06:12.Leeds, are heading to the battalion that lost five children's -- five

:06:12. > :06:18.soldiers in Afghanistan. It is a shock, me going to a

:06:18. > :06:24.battalion, but I think I will be ready. I am a bit scared about it,

:06:24. > :06:28.but you signed up for it, so you know what could happen.

:06:28. > :06:33.Nathan Patterson from Rotherham will also join up. He is having to

:06:33. > :06:37.come to terms with the reality of a life in the army.

:06:37. > :06:45.When I found that how many people there were, it was a shock. It does

:06:45. > :06:51.make you more focused, but there are people who will still scared. -

:06:51. > :06:55.- who are still scared of me going We do not know to what extent of

:06:55. > :07:00.the lads have watched the news in the past. I am sure they know about

:07:00. > :07:03.Brize Norton and Wootton Bassett. We have not had anyone say that

:07:03. > :07:08.since the tragedy happened that they want to leave.

:07:08. > :07:11.They are not yet soldiers, but they are learning to cope with death.

:07:11. > :07:16.They will finish their ratings -- basic training a matter of months.

:07:16. > :07:21.After that, they will join their battalions. Some could be fighting

:07:21. > :07:24.in Afghanistan in less than a year. Herein Warminster the soldiers have

:07:25. > :07:28.been say goodbye to their family and friends. They will be flying

:07:29. > :07:32.out to one of the most dangerous places in the world over the next

:07:32. > :07:36.two weeks. It is a difficult journey they have a head, had

:07:36. > :07:41.before that they have a very difficult day on Tuesday. That is

:07:41. > :07:45.when the bodies of the six fallen comrades will be repatriated to the

:07:45. > :07:52.UK, to RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

:07:53. > :08:02.Thank you. The serious favourites. Is your's

:08:03. > :08:03.

:08:03. > :08:08.John Sentamu the next in line for De Flying Scotsman has today been

:08:08. > :08:12.abandoned as the Olympic torch carrier. The engine has been given

:08:12. > :08:16.a major overhaul that is running five years later.

:08:16. > :08:23.More faults have been uncovered, as there is absolutely no chance of it

:08:23. > :08:26.being repaired in time for that a torch.

:08:26. > :08:31.Just when you thought the news about the Flying Scotsman could not

:08:31. > :08:36.get worse, it has done. It is only last May that the loco that --

:08:36. > :08:40.locomotive was unveiled, ready for another 40 years of service. It has

:08:40. > :08:44.not worked out that way. Within weeks, it was back in the workshop

:08:45. > :08:48.because of problems with its chassis. Since then, the news has

:08:48. > :08:52.gone from bad to worse. Only a couple of weeks ago, it was pulled

:08:52. > :08:57.out of an event when it would have been reunited with other famous

:08:57. > :09:02.locomotives like Blue Peter. Now it is losing its role as the

:09:02. > :09:06.centrepiece of Yorkshire's Olympic torch replay. -- relay.

:09:07. > :09:11.We have let ourselves down. There is a huge amount of emotion that

:09:11. > :09:16.has gone into this project. The engineers are very wedded to this

:09:16. > :09:20.project, my own personal attention to getting this right has been

:09:20. > :09:24.significant. Not surprisingly, this latest hurdle has come as a bit of

:09:24. > :09:28.a blow to us. What has gone wrong? Anyone who

:09:28. > :09:32.knows about steam locomotives will tell you you cannot be sure how

:09:32. > :09:42.long it will take until you have got it completely stripped down, a

:09:42. > :09:45.bit like restoring an old house. But there is good news. The Flying

:09:46. > :09:49.Scotsman's overhaul is now nearly finished, and when it is done, the

:09:49. > :09:53.locomotive will be ready for another 40 or even 50 years of

:09:53. > :10:03.service on the main line. I will not see all of that, but it is

:10:03. > :10:03.

:10:03. > :10:06.something to look forward to it. Not quite ready yet.

:10:06. > :10:13.Let's have a look at some of the other news.

:10:13. > :10:18.A Doncaster-based poll company has pleaded guilty to help as a defence

:10:18. > :10:22.is following the death of a miner at Kellingley Colliery. Ian Cameron

:10:22. > :10:28.was 46 when he was killed as supporting equipment fell on him in

:10:28. > :10:33.2009. UK Coal will be sentenced after another company, Joy Mining

:10:33. > :10:37.Machinery Ltd, has stood trial. They pleaded not guilty to offences

:10:37. > :10:40.relating to his death. A 25-year-old man from Mexborough

:10:40. > :10:45.has appeared in court accused of conspiring to bring down the

:10:45. > :10:50.website of the CIA and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency.

:10:50. > :10:55.Ryan Ackroyd is also charged with hacking into other systems. He made

:10:56. > :11:00.no plea, and is next due to appear at Southwark Crown Court in May.

:11:00. > :11:04.The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has paid tribute to the

:11:04. > :11:08.work of the Archbishop of Canterbury following his

:11:08. > :11:11.announcement that he is standing down in December this year.

:11:11. > :11:18.Dr Sentamu is close friends with the Archbishop of Canterbury and

:11:18. > :11:26.said he was very sad to hear the news. Speculation as to who may

:11:26. > :11:29.succeed is already rife. A since Ugandan dancers celebrated the

:11:29. > :11:32.minister at his enthronement, the Archbishop of York has cut an

:11:32. > :11:36.unconventional figure in the Church of England.

:11:36. > :11:39.He has been a flamboyant deputy to Dr Rowan Williams, but has always

:11:39. > :11:42.been careful to work as a supportive partner to the

:11:42. > :11:47.Archbishop of Canterbury. News of his departure later this year has

:11:47. > :11:50.been greeted but sadness by Dr Sentamu, who will miss him.

:11:50. > :11:54.Any messages for the other Archbishop?

:11:54. > :11:59.You have read my statement. He and I have been working very closely.

:11:59. > :12:06.He is one of my greatest, grit his companions, I greatly admire what

:12:06. > :12:09.he has done, who hears, and everything else. The he and his

:12:09. > :12:15.family are constantly in my prayers, like they have been.

:12:15. > :12:18.Do you fancy his job? You can't be serious.

:12:18. > :12:24.The question might be embarrassing, but a move to Canterbury is a

:12:24. > :12:31.possibility. At his local pub, his supporters think he would do well.

:12:31. > :12:35.He is fantastic. He has done so many brave things, fun things,

:12:35. > :12:40.secular issues, fantastic. He covers the whole range of things

:12:40. > :12:46.you would want. I could not agree more. We have

:12:46. > :12:49.seen in -- seen him in here and he is superb.

:12:49. > :12:55.The Archbishop of Canterbury has said his successor will need the

:12:55. > :13:05.constitution of an ox and the skin of a rhinoceros. Good to Dr Sentamu

:13:05. > :13:06.

:13:06. > :13:09.the amount? It will be months until He is certainly a very popular.

:13:09. > :13:13.Now, there have been claims that Yorkshire could suffer from

:13:13. > :13:17.migraine drain of talent unless the Government cuts taxes for high

:13:17. > :13:22.earners in the Budget. The presenter of the Sunday

:13:22. > :13:27.Politics in our region can tell us more. Who is making these claims?

:13:27. > :13:34.These are the views of Yorkshire's richest man. You may not have heard

:13:34. > :13:40.of him, he is called Asim Allen, and he is worth �300 million. That

:13:40. > :13:44.is as much as the Queen, apparently. He is influential and his friends

:13:44. > :13:50.with Ed Miliband. He is saying that unless the Chancellor cuts the top

:13:50. > :13:55.rate of income tax, which is 50p on the pound, more and more business

:13:55. > :13:58.orders and entrepreneurs will lead the country. Contrast his use what

:13:58. > :14:04.someone we're going to see now, her name is Helen Alexander and she is

:14:04. > :14:08.a single mum from North Yorkshire. She has three children and is part

:14:08. > :14:12.of the occupy Leeds anti-capitalist protest last year. She will join us.

:14:12. > :14:15.She says she is struggling to survive on the minimum wage and

:14:16. > :14:20.will have her benefits cut in April. How does she feel about her

:14:20. > :14:26.benefits being cut when the West is there as well have their taxes cut?

:14:26. > :14:33.Could be a heated debate, kicking off on Sunday Politics at 12:00pm.

:14:33. > :14:36.Stay with us, before 7pm: pulling his punches, the softer side of

:14:36. > :14:41.Kell Brook. But will the new father still

:14:41. > :14:44.triumph in the ring? And Sheffield success, we speak to

:14:44. > :14:54.swimmers who have already booked their place in this summer's

:14:54. > :14:57.Olympics. If you were asked to name some

:14:57. > :15:02.famous polar explorers, you would come up with names like Scotland

:15:02. > :15:07.Shackleton, but what about Yorkshireman Frank Wilde? I had

:15:07. > :15:11.never heard of him, but he was the right-hand man to Sir Ernest

:15:11. > :15:17.Shackleton, until his name stuck from history. His remarkable story

:15:17. > :15:21.is captured in the BBC documentary if broadcast on Sunday on BBC One.

:15:21. > :15:28.We will speak to its presenter and Arctic expert Paul Rose any moment.

:15:28. > :15:31.But first, who is this man? A unique polar expedition weaves

:15:32. > :15:38.its way past the icebergs of Antarctica with an unusual cargo on

:15:38. > :15:42.board. It is carrying the remains of one of the greats British polar

:15:42. > :15:47.explorers. Frank Wild, from Skelton near Whitby, made five epic trips

:15:47. > :15:51.to the Antarctic at the beginning of the last century. This includes

:15:51. > :15:56.the ill-fated endurance expedition when a ship carrying 28 men was

:15:56. > :16:01.stuck in the polar ice for almost one year. It was here that Frank

:16:01. > :16:05.Wild showed his survival skills, keeping all of the stranded men

:16:05. > :16:10.alive in desperate circumstances. Frank Wild was a seasoned Paul a

:16:10. > :16:14.man, a guy you want us to have a range you when things got bad.

:16:14. > :16:19.Wilde became Sir Ernest Shackleton's close companion, but

:16:19. > :16:23.will Shackleton was immortalised, Frank's Park in this great era of

:16:23. > :16:29.history was quietly forgotten. were led to believe he was the

:16:29. > :16:35.forgotten hero, but I wanted to find out if that was true, and if

:16:35. > :16:39.that was true, why had he been for one? Frank Wild died just before

:16:39. > :16:44.the start of the Second World War, that it was believed that his ashes

:16:44. > :16:49.had been lost. But a dog-eared piece of detective work by an G

:16:49. > :16:53.Butler led to their discovery last year. It meant that the wild

:16:53. > :16:58.family's wishes to be fulfilled and that Frank's remains could be taken

:16:59. > :17:02.to the remote island of South Georgia to be buried next to his

:17:02. > :17:10.great friend Shackleton. We honour the memory of John and Robert

:17:10. > :17:13.Francis while. It was an act that brought to great -- to crates of

:17:13. > :17:19.polar exploration back together, Lorraine Frank Wild to find peace

:17:19. > :17:21.in the icy land he loved so much. Joining us now is Paul Rose, he is

:17:21. > :17:26.the presenter of the programme, Frank Wild: Antarctica's Forgotten

:17:26. > :17:30.Hero. He is also Base Commander of the British Antarctic Survey for

:17:30. > :17:35.ten years. I must confess that I had not heard of Frank Wild until

:17:35. > :17:40.now, it can be story is only been told they? Frank Wild was always a

:17:40. > :17:44.the shadow. He was Shackleton's right-hand man, Captain Scott's

:17:44. > :17:50.right-hand man. He was always a the shadow of these men. I am in the

:17:50. > :17:54.Paula circuit and had been working in Antarctica since 1890, but I

:17:55. > :18:00.only knew a little bit about francs. As soon as we touched the story, we

:18:00. > :18:06.fell in love with that man. About how likeable he was and what he

:18:06. > :18:11.meant to the men. We have revealed the true unsung hero. He kept his

:18:11. > :18:16.expedition quite simply alive. With his brilliance. He did, he was a

:18:16. > :18:20.technical genius. He could run the docks and look after the horses. He

:18:20. > :18:25.could sail and navigate. He could look after the men. There was

:18:25. > :18:30.something about him. He did not be everything in a masterly sense, he

:18:30. > :18:34.did it and the men still litem. think about people going to

:18:34. > :18:39.Antarctica with all the cat, all the specialist equipment. These

:18:39. > :18:46.guys would not have had all of the CPS equipment. The feisty now went

:18:46. > :18:50.to Antarctica, we would put on all of our dear. -- if I as three. All

:18:50. > :18:55.of those years ago when de Frank Wild and his men put on all of

:18:55. > :18:59.their kit, fur and cotton, they would have felt invincible. This

:18:59. > :19:02.was men at their physical prime putting on equipment in which they

:19:02. > :19:08.would have felt fantastic. What I think was sad is that he died

:19:09. > :19:14.almost in poverty. As a father in Africa, it went horribly wrong. --

:19:14. > :19:18.as a farmer in Africa. He found his ashes all those years later and

:19:18. > :19:22.have reunited him with his best friend. That is right, he is buried

:19:22. > :19:27.in South Georgia next to Shackleton, which was his wish. It is a

:19:27. > :19:32.beautiful setting. All these Norwegian Graves, but to grace

:19:32. > :19:36.which face the case, which they said. Shackleton and Frank Wild. It

:19:36. > :19:41.is beautiful. You can see the full story of Frank Wild: Antarctica's

:19:41. > :19:47.Forgotten Hero this Sunday afternoon at four o'clock on BBC

:19:47. > :19:50.One. Let's talk sport now. Tanya is in

:19:50. > :19:55.Sheffield where there is an exciting weekend of sport ahead.

:19:55. > :20:00.Especially if you are a sport -- a boxing fan, but if you are at.

:20:00. > :20:04.International Forge pool as well. They will be talking to three

:20:04. > :20:08.swimmers who have already booked their place at the Olympics. Let's

:20:08. > :20:13.start with the boxing, because at lunchtime, Sheffield's Kell Brook

:20:14. > :20:23.had his way and for the War Of the Roses battle. But has a new arrival

:20:23. > :20:28.in his life pretending to a bit of a softie?

:20:28. > :20:33.-- has the new arrival in his life turned him into a bit of a softie.

:20:33. > :20:38.I have a family now. We do family things. But you also see me with

:20:38. > :20:44.the gloves on. There are two sides to Kell Brook bed. I have grown up

:20:44. > :20:50.a lot, at it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. After I

:20:50. > :20:54.finish the training sessions I am back home to feed and went my

:20:54. > :20:58.daughter. It is amazing to have her here. Ahead of the big fight, there

:20:58. > :21:02.has been a big change to the likes of Kell Brook and his partner

:21:02. > :21:06.Lindsay. Their daughter arrived four weeks ago, at the height of

:21:06. > :21:12.Kell Brook's training to take on Matthew Passion. We both had

:21:12. > :21:17.pressure on us, but it is his job. -- Matthew Hutton. We have taken it

:21:17. > :21:22.in her stride and been the best parents we can. Is it taking your

:21:22. > :21:27.mind off his fight? If I am honest, normally before his fight I get

:21:27. > :21:32.into a state, but it has taken my mind off at this time. I have not

:21:32. > :21:40.thought about it as much. Today it was time for him to face the crowds

:21:40. > :21:46.at the weekend. The hair was on the back of me neck when I walked down

:21:46. > :21:49.the escalator. You do this and a big fight week with it coming up,

:21:49. > :21:55.but now it is about resting and making sure we turn up on Saturday.

:21:55. > :21:59.Will you put on a show for him? Or I will put on a show, all right.

:21:59. > :22:04.I'll put a show on. For the next few days, kill must

:22:04. > :22:10.focus on the fight. Good luck to kill, I am pretty

:22:10. > :22:13.confident that he will win through. When stocks remain, with three

:22:13. > :22:18.swimmers to after the Olympics. To the Olympics, one to the

:22:18. > :22:22.Paralympics. Becky, let's talk to you. You could

:22:22. > :22:27.sue place in the 200 metres freestyle. A fantastic race in a

:22:27. > :22:31.state -- in a strong field. But you think you could win? I was always a

:22:31. > :22:37.sure I could win, but in the time, I always thought that just to be

:22:37. > :22:42.able to do it is a while. Just put us into the frame of how strong 200

:22:42. > :22:46.metre freestyle at Sonning is in this country. We have lots a big

:22:46. > :22:52.names in this country. It is a fast field. -- 200 metre freestyle

:22:52. > :22:57.swimming. You did your place in the Olympics, no one can ask more than

:22:57. > :23:02.that. I beat my personal best by one second, I am very pleased.

:23:02. > :23:06.Let's move on, used Matthews in the 200 and the 800. What was the week

:23:06. > :23:11.like for you? It was a great experience, especially with the

:23:11. > :23:14.home crowd out there. Being able to compete in front of them. And

:23:14. > :23:19.knowing that there will be 50,000 more people later as well, it is

:23:19. > :23:26.nerve-racking. He were a second behind Becky Adlington, can you

:23:26. > :23:31.catch up? I will do my best. are both 19, it must be lovely

:23:31. > :23:34.coming through together. It is great. Having a friend on the team

:23:35. > :23:39.and been able to speak to her whenever I need to is amazing.

:23:39. > :23:44.But come to James, as you are an old hand, you are going after the

:23:44. > :23:48.third Paralympics. It was great to qualify, I have qualified before

:23:48. > :23:54.but this will hopefully be my third. If everything goes well, it will

:23:54. > :23:59.hopefully be a great home game. He cannot ask for more. What was the

:23:59. > :24:04.atmosphere like? It was great, when they gave a picture it was pretty

:24:04. > :24:09.loud. That was only 3,000 people, so when there are 15,000 people it

:24:09. > :24:13.will be amazing. Best of luck, I am sure we will speak to all of you do

:24:13. > :24:18.for summer. Before I go, a quick piece of football news, because

:24:18. > :24:22.Wembley is looming for yet another of her teens. But City are aiming

:24:22. > :24:26.for a place in the FA Trophy final in May, but first they must hold

:24:26. > :24:34.off the challenge of Luton in the semi-final second leg. The going to

:24:34. > :24:39.be oddly like holding a slender one-0 lead. Best of luck to them.

:24:39. > :24:43.Thank you very much. Later on we will find out if it

:24:44. > :24:48.will be hot this weekend. It is day three of the BBC Sport

:25:56. > :26:03.This is a reservoir courtesy of Diane. And on to one of my favoured

:26:03. > :26:06.parts of the coast. Please keep your photos coming in.

:26:06. > :26:10.It will turn more unsettled through the weekend, we are looking at

:26:10. > :26:14.showery outbreaks of rain. If you look at the pressure charge, you

:26:14. > :26:18.can see why. The weather front is set to cross over during the

:26:18. > :26:23.weekend. The satellite picture shows how we have had a variable

:26:23. > :26:27.amount of cloud. We have seen it break up in some places, including

:26:27. > :26:32.the Vale of York. Tonight, the cloud will thicken up. It will

:26:32. > :26:38.bring outbreaks of rain. It will be mostly right -- mostly light and

:26:38. > :26:41.patchy. Hopefully it will not drop too low tonight. No lower than five

:26:41. > :26:49.or seven degrees. Seven will be 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

:26:49. > :26:52.On Sunrise it will rise at quarter past six. Some said will be at

:26:52. > :26:58.quarter past 6:00pm. They will be a lot of cloud to

:26:58. > :27:03.begin the day. The game will die out and the cloud will thin. We

:27:03. > :27:06.will seek clouts with some spell of sunshine. We will see clouds

:27:06. > :27:10.developing it and through the afternoon the showers will get

:27:10. > :27:15.going. They will merge into a longer spell of rain particularly

:27:15. > :27:18.in the late afternoon. The piece will be from the West on north-west,

:27:18. > :27:22.taking the edge of the temperature. It will be nine degrees along the

:27:22. > :27:25.coast. For most of us it will be a and ten degrees. Perhaps in

:27:25. > :27:31.Yorkshire we will see temperatures of 11 degrees.
