Good evening, welcome to Friday's Look North.

:00:08.:00:12.

We have been with the new recruits as they still themselves for a tour

:00:12.:00:15.

of the most dangerous territory in the world.

:00:15.:00:19.

I have spent the day with the Yorkshire soldiers on parade in

:00:19.:00:23.

Warminster head of their deployment to Afghanistan. We will also hear

:00:23.:00:26.

from new recruits in Catterick about their feelings following the

:00:26.:00:29.

terrible loss of life in Afghanistan.

:00:29.:00:35.

Off the rails, plans to use the iconic Flying Scotsman in

:00:35.:00:39.

Yorkshire's Olympic torch celebrations are scrapped.

:00:39.:00:44.

And we look at Yorkshire's forgotten explorer, the remarkable

:00:44.:00:51.

story of the Whitby man who tried to the Antarctic with Shackleton.

:00:52.:00:55.

And I will be live in Sheffield talking to three swimmers who have

:00:55.:00:59.

already booked their place at this summer's games. Plus we look

:00:59.:01:07.

forward to a big boxing fight. Join me for the weather. These were

:01:07.:01:11.

the sunny skies over South Yorkshire earlier. I will have the

:01:11.:01:21.
:01:21.:01:25.

Good evening. More than 400 soldiers from the Yorkshire

:01:25.:01:28.

Regiment have taken part in a farewell parade as they prepare to

:01:28.:01:32.

go to Afghanistan. They also attended a service to remember the

:01:32.:01:36.

six soldiers who died in Afghanistan last week. Nicola Rees

:01:36.:01:40.

has been at the battalion's headquarters in Warminster, and she

:01:40.:01:46.

joined us now. It has been an incredibly difficult

:01:46.:01:52.

to 10 days for people in Yorkshire. The people are still really trying

:01:52.:01:56.

to desperately come to terms with that loss of life in Afghanistan.

:01:56.:02:00.

Six soldiers killed by a roadside bomb in Helmand province, five of

:02:00.:02:06.

them from this regiment. That battalion has been out on the

:02:06.:02:10.

streets marching through the town as thousands of people turned out

:02:10.:02:14.

to watch them and show their support, to say goodbye and to say

:02:14.:02:19.

good luck. Many had to travel hundreds of miles to be there, so

:02:19.:02:23.

it was in no mood for celebration, a time to feel proud about the

:02:23.:02:27.

armed forces, but it was an event are tinged with sadness at the

:02:27.:02:34.

forefront of everybody's minds. It is a very sad day. It is very

:02:34.:02:39.

emotional. It is difficult when you have got kids as well, and their

:02:39.:02:45.

step dad is going out there, and they ask questions.

:02:45.:02:50.

Terrible. Absolutely terrible. You hear about the odd one now and then,

:02:50.:02:57.

but when there is a group of lads like that, it is heartbreaking.

:02:57.:03:01.

I think it is a great thing that everyone has come out to show their

:03:01.:03:05.

support for people. It is fantastic that the whole

:03:05.:03:08.

community and civilian community have turned out.

:03:08.:03:13.

Good luck! Nicola, today was very moving, but

:03:14.:03:18.

it had been planned for some time, the march through Warminster. What

:03:18.:03:23.

a new dimension it has taken on widows fatalities?

:03:23.:03:27.

Yes, this was a plate upon it parade, so it was planned as

:03:27.:03:37.

several months ago. -- deployment. It was a private service, an

:03:37.:03:40.

opportunity for families and friends and the soldiers themselves

:03:40.:03:43.

to make an act of remembrance for those of fallen soldiers in

:03:43.:03:48.

Afghanistan. The Last Post was sounded, and a roll of honour was

:03:49.:03:53.

read out. It was a very private affair, but the majority of family

:03:53.:03:59.

and friends were from Yorkshire. I have come down to watch in today

:03:59.:04:05.

to see him off. It has been quite an emotional day anyway, I am so

:04:05.:04:10.

nervous. He did us proud. I am so proud.

:04:10.:04:15.

You have to not worry about it, because Odyssey with it being so

:04:15.:04:18.

close to home, lots of people have been through it.

:04:18.:04:22.

You have to stay focused and be strong for our lads. But that is

:04:22.:04:28.

the main point. Our lads are going to come home safe, that is what I

:04:28.:04:32.

have to focus on. People here have been out in force

:04:32.:04:36.

to support the troops, but here, just like in Yorkshire, people are

:04:36.:04:41.

still grieving. There is a mounting pile of floral tributes here at

:04:41.:04:46.

headquarters. Daily life in the armed forces has to go on as normal.

:04:46.:04:50.

Soldiers are getting ready to deploy, but all that time, new

:04:50.:04:54.

recruits are signing up. I have been in Catterick where some of

:04:55.:04:58.

these new recruits have been taking part in their infantry training.

:04:58.:05:02.

They will be joining this buried Italian, and I have been speaking

:05:02.:05:10.

to them about how they felt when they heard the news.

:05:10.:05:16.

Every two weeks, 150 new recruits arrive at the victory Training

:05:16.:05:22.

Centre in Catterick. This is their first taste of life in the military.

:05:22.:05:26.

-- Infantry Training Centre. These recruits are five weeks into

:05:26.:05:31.

their training. Some are just 17 years old. Depending on their

:05:31.:05:34.

performances, they are about to be presented with their regimental

:05:34.:05:39.

berets. Receiving the beret is a

:05:39.:05:41.

significant rite of passage, but it is also the start of a tough

:05:41.:05:45.

journey into the army. This is not for the faint-hearted, but there

:05:45.:05:50.

are advantages. There was a lot of banter and it is

:05:50.:05:54.

good fun. It is a completely different life.

:05:54.:05:58.

It is good. Many of these young men will go on

:05:58.:06:03.

to join the Yorkshire Regiment. Some, like 18-year-old Nathan from

:06:03.:06:08.

Leeds, are heading to the battalion that lost five children's -- five

:06:08.:06:12.

soldiers in Afghanistan. It is a shock, me going to a

:06:12.:06:18.

battalion, but I think I will be ready. I am a bit scared about it,

:06:18.:06:24.

but you signed up for it, so you know what could happen.

:06:24.:06:28.

Nathan Patterson from Rotherham will also join up. He is having to

:06:28.:06:33.

come to terms with the reality of a life in the army.

:06:33.:06:37.

When I found that how many people there were, it was a shock. It does

:06:37.:06:45.

make you more focused, but there are people who will still scared. -

:06:45.:06:51.

- who are still scared of me going We do not know to what extent of

:06:51.:06:55.

the lads have watched the news in the past. I am sure they know about

:06:55.:07:00.

Brize Norton and Wootton Bassett. We have not had anyone say that

:07:00.:07:03.

since the tragedy happened that they want to leave.

:07:03.:07:08.

They are not yet soldiers, but they are learning to cope with death.

:07:08.:07:11.

They will finish their ratings -- basic training a matter of months.

:07:11.:07:16.

After that, they will join their battalions. Some could be fighting

:07:16.:07:21.

in Afghanistan in less than a year. Herein Warminster the soldiers have

:07:21.:07:24.

been say goodbye to their family and friends. They will be flying

:07:25.:07:28.

out to one of the most dangerous places in the world over the next

:07:29.:07:32.

two weeks. It is a difficult journey they have a head, had

:07:32.:07:36.

before that they have a very difficult day on Tuesday. That is

:07:36.:07:41.

when the bodies of the six fallen comrades will be repatriated to the

:07:41.:07:45.

UK, to RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

:07:45.:07:52.

Thank you. The serious favourites. Is your's

:07:53.:08:02.
:08:03.:08:03.

John Sentamu the next in line for De Flying Scotsman has today been

:08:03.:08:08.

abandoned as the Olympic torch carrier. The engine has been given

:08:08.:08:12.

a major overhaul that is running five years later.

:08:12.:08:16.

More faults have been uncovered, as there is absolutely no chance of it

:08:16.:08:23.

being repaired in time for that a torch.

:08:23.:08:26.

Just when you thought the news about the Flying Scotsman could not

:08:26.:08:31.

get worse, it has done. It is only last May that the loco that --

:08:31.:08:36.

locomotive was unveiled, ready for another 40 years of service. It has

:08:36.:08:40.

not worked out that way. Within weeks, it was back in the workshop

:08:40.:08:44.

because of problems with its chassis. Since then, the news has

:08:45.:08:48.

gone from bad to worse. Only a couple of weeks ago, it was pulled

:08:48.:08:52.

out of an event when it would have been reunited with other famous

:08:52.:08:57.

locomotives like Blue Peter. Now it is losing its role as the

:08:57.:09:02.

centrepiece of Yorkshire's Olympic torch replay. -- relay.

:09:02.:09:06.

We have let ourselves down. There is a huge amount of emotion that

:09:07.:09:11.

has gone into this project. The engineers are very wedded to this

:09:11.:09:16.

project, my own personal attention to getting this right has been

:09:16.:09:20.

significant. Not surprisingly, this latest hurdle has come as a bit of

:09:20.:09:24.

a blow to us. What has gone wrong? Anyone who

:09:24.:09:28.

knows about steam locomotives will tell you you cannot be sure how

:09:28.:09:32.

long it will take until you have got it completely stripped down, a

:09:32.:09:42.

bit like restoring an old house. But there is good news. The Flying

:09:42.:09:45.

Scotsman's overhaul is now nearly finished, and when it is done, the

:09:46.:09:49.

locomotive will be ready for another 40 or even 50 years of

:09:49.:09:53.

service on the main line. I will not see all of that, but it is

:09:53.:10:03.
:10:03.:10:03.

something to look forward to it. Not quite ready yet.

:10:03.:10:06.

Let's have a look at some of the other news.

:10:06.:10:13.

A Doncaster-based poll company has pleaded guilty to help as a defence

:10:13.:10:18.

is following the death of a miner at Kellingley Colliery. Ian Cameron

:10:18.:10:22.

was 46 when he was killed as supporting equipment fell on him in

:10:22.:10:28.

2009. UK Coal will be sentenced after another company, Joy Mining

:10:28.:10:33.

Machinery Ltd, has stood trial. They pleaded not guilty to offences

:10:33.:10:37.

relating to his death. A 25-year-old man from Mexborough

:10:37.:10:40.

has appeared in court accused of conspiring to bring down the

:10:40.:10:45.

website of the CIA and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency.

:10:45.:10:50.

Ryan Ackroyd is also charged with hacking into other systems. He made

:10:50.:10:55.

no plea, and is next due to appear at Southwark Crown Court in May.

:10:56.:11:00.

The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has paid tribute to the

:11:00.:11:04.

work of the Archbishop of Canterbury following his

:11:04.:11:08.

announcement that he is standing down in December this year.

:11:08.:11:11.

Dr Sentamu is close friends with the Archbishop of Canterbury and

:11:11.:11:18.

said he was very sad to hear the news. Speculation as to who may

:11:18.:11:26.

succeed is already rife. A since Ugandan dancers celebrated the

:11:26.:11:29.

minister at his enthronement, the Archbishop of York has cut an

:11:29.:11:32.

unconventional figure in the Church of England.

:11:32.:11:36.

He has been a flamboyant deputy to Dr Rowan Williams, but has always

:11:36.:11:39.

been careful to work as a supportive partner to the

:11:39.:11:42.

Archbishop of Canterbury. News of his departure later this year has

:11:42.:11:47.

been greeted but sadness by Dr Sentamu, who will miss him.

:11:47.:11:50.

Any messages for the other Archbishop?

:11:50.:11:54.

You have read my statement. He and I have been working very closely.

:11:54.:11:59.

He is one of my greatest, grit his companions, I greatly admire what

:11:59.:12:06.

he has done, who hears, and everything else. The he and his

:12:06.:12:09.

family are constantly in my prayers, like they have been.

:12:09.:12:15.

Do you fancy his job? You can't be serious.

:12:15.:12:18.

The question might be embarrassing, but a move to Canterbury is a

:12:18.:12:24.

possibility. At his local pub, his supporters think he would do well.

:12:24.:12:31.

He is fantastic. He has done so many brave things, fun things,

:12:31.:12:35.

secular issues, fantastic. He covers the whole range of things

:12:35.:12:40.

you would want. I could not agree more. We have

:12:40.:12:46.

seen in -- seen him in here and he is superb.

:12:46.:12:49.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has said his successor will need the

:12:49.:12:55.

constitution of an ox and the skin of a rhinoceros. Good to Dr Sentamu

:12:55.:13:05.
:13:05.:13:06.

the amount? It will be months until He is certainly a very popular.

:13:06.:13:09.

Now, there have been claims that Yorkshire could suffer from

:13:09.:13:13.

migraine drain of talent unless the Government cuts taxes for high

:13:13.:13:17.

earners in the Budget. The presenter of the Sunday

:13:17.:13:22.

Politics in our region can tell us more. Who is making these claims?

:13:22.:13:27.

These are the views of Yorkshire's richest man. You may not have heard

:13:27.:13:34.

of him, he is called Asim Allen, and he is worth �300 million. That

:13:34.:13:40.

is as much as the Queen, apparently. He is influential and his friends

:13:40.:13:44.

with Ed Miliband. He is saying that unless the Chancellor cuts the top

:13:44.:13:50.

rate of income tax, which is 50p on the pound, more and more business

:13:50.:13:55.

orders and entrepreneurs will lead the country. Contrast his use what

:13:55.:13:58.

someone we're going to see now, her name is Helen Alexander and she is

:13:58.:14:04.

a single mum from North Yorkshire. She has three children and is part

:14:04.:14:08.

of the occupy Leeds anti-capitalist protest last year. She will join us.

:14:08.:14:12.

She says she is struggling to survive on the minimum wage and

:14:12.:14:15.

will have her benefits cut in April. How does she feel about her

:14:16.:14:20.

benefits being cut when the West is there as well have their taxes cut?

:14:20.:14:26.

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

:14:26.:14:33.

Stay with us, before 7pm: pulling his punches, the softer side of

:14:33.:14:36.

Kell Brook. But will the new father still

:14:36.:14:41.

triumph in the ring? And Sheffield success, we speak to

:14:41.:14:44.

swimmers who have already booked their place in this summer's

:14:44.:14:54.

Olympics. If you were asked to name some

:14:54.:14:57.

famous polar explorers, you would come up with names like Scotland

:14:57.:15:02.

Shackleton, but what about Yorkshireman Frank Wilde? I had

:15:02.:15:07.

never heard of him, but he was the right-hand man to Sir Ernest

:15:07.:15:11.

Shackleton, until his name stuck from history. His remarkable story

:15:11.:15:17.

is captured in the BBC documentary if broadcast on Sunday on BBC One.

:15:17.:15:21.

We will speak to its presenter and Arctic expert Paul Rose any moment.

:15:21.:15:28.

But first, who is this man? A unique polar expedition weaves

:15:28.:15:31.

its way past the icebergs of Antarctica with an unusual cargo on

:15:32.:15:38.

board. It is carrying the remains of one of the greats British polar

:15:38.:15:42.

explorers. Frank Wild, from Skelton near Whitby, made five epic trips

:15:42.:15:47.

to the Antarctic at the beginning of the last century. This includes

:15:47.:15:51.

the ill-fated endurance expedition when a ship carrying 28 men was

:15:51.:15:56.

stuck in the polar ice for almost one year. It was here that Frank

:15:56.:16:01.

Wild showed his survival skills, keeping all of the stranded men

:16:01.:16:05.

alive in desperate circumstances. Frank Wild was a seasoned Paul a

:16:05.:16:10.

man, a guy you want us to have a range you when things got bad.

:16:10.:16:14.

Wilde became Sir Ernest Shackleton's close companion, but

:16:14.:16:19.

will Shackleton was immortalised, Frank's Park in this great era of

:16:19.:16:23.

history was quietly forgotten. were led to believe he was the

:16:23.:16:29.

forgotten hero, but I wanted to find out if that was true, and if

:16:29.:16:35.

that was true, why had he been for one? Frank Wild died just before

:16:35.:16:39.

the start of the Second World War, that it was believed that his ashes

:16:39.:16:44.

had been lost. But a dog-eared piece of detective work by an G

:16:44.:16:49.

Butler led to their discovery last year. It meant that the wild

:16:49.:16:53.

family's wishes to be fulfilled and that Frank's remains could be taken

:16:53.:16:58.

to the remote island of South Georgia to be buried next to his

:16:59.:17:02.

great friend Shackleton. We honour the memory of John and Robert

:17:02.:17:10.

Francis while. It was an act that brought to great -- to crates of

:17:10.:17:13.

polar exploration back together, Lorraine Frank Wild to find peace

:17:13.:17:19.

in the icy land he loved so much. Joining us now is Paul Rose, he is

:17:19.:17:21.

the presenter of the programme, Frank Wild: Antarctica's Forgotten

:17:21.:17:26.

Hero. He is also Base Commander of the British Antarctic Survey for

:17:26.:17:30.

ten years. I must confess that I had not heard of Frank Wild until

:17:30.:17:35.

now, it can be story is only been told they? Frank Wild was always a

:17:35.:17:40.

the shadow. He was Shackleton's right-hand man, Captain Scott's

:17:40.:17:44.

right-hand man. He was always a the shadow of these men. I am in the

:17:44.:17:50.

Paula circuit and had been working in Antarctica since 1890, but I

:17:50.:17:54.

only knew a little bit about francs. As soon as we touched the story, we

:17:55.:18:00.

fell in love with that man. About how likeable he was and what he

:18:00.:18:06.

meant to the men. We have revealed the true unsung hero. He kept his

:18:06.:18:11.

expedition quite simply alive. With his brilliance. He did, he was a

:18:11.:18:16.

technical genius. He could run the docks and look after the horses. He

:18:16.:18:20.

could sail and navigate. He could look after the men. There was

:18:20.:18:25.

something about him. He did not be everything in a masterly sense, he

:18:25.:18:30.

did it and the men still litem. think about people going to

:18:30.:18:34.

Antarctica with all the cat, all the specialist equipment. These

:18:34.:18:39.

guys would not have had all of the CPS equipment. The feisty now went

:18:39.:18:46.

to Antarctica, we would put on all of our dear. -- if I as three. All

:18:46.:18:50.

of those years ago when de Frank Wild and his men put on all of

:18:50.:18:55.

their kit, fur and cotton, they would have felt invincible. This

:18:55.:18:59.

was men at their physical prime putting on equipment in which they

:18:59.:19:02.

would have felt fantastic. What I think was sad is that he died

:19:02.:19:08.

almost in poverty. As a father in Africa, it went horribly wrong. --

:19:09.:19:14.

as a farmer in Africa. He found his ashes all those years later and

:19:14.:19:18.

have reunited him with his best friend. That is right, he is buried

:19:18.:19:22.

in South Georgia next to Shackleton, which was his wish. It is a

:19:22.:19:27.

beautiful setting. All these Norwegian Graves, but to grace

:19:27.:19:32.

which face the case, which they said. Shackleton and Frank Wild. It

:19:32.:19:36.

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

:19:36.:19:41.

Forgotten Hero this Sunday afternoon at four o'clock on BBC

:19:41.:19:47.

One. Let's talk sport now. Tanya is in

:19:47.:19:50.

Sheffield where there is an exciting weekend of sport ahead.

:19:50.:19:55.

Especially if you are a sport -- a boxing fan, but if you are at.

:19:55.:20:00.

International Forge pool as well. They will be talking to three

:20:00.:20:04.

swimmers who have already booked their place at the Olympics. Let's

:20:04.:20:08.

start with the boxing, because at lunchtime, Sheffield's Kell Brook

:20:08.:20:13.

had his way and for the War Of the Roses battle. But has a new arrival

:20:14.:20:23.

in his life pretending to a bit of a softie?

:20:23.:20:28.

-- has the new arrival in his life turned him into a bit of a softie.

:20:28.:20:33.

I have a family now. We do family things. But you also see me with

:20:33.:20:38.

the gloves on. There are two sides to Kell Brook bed. I have grown up

:20:38.:20:44.

a lot, at it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. After I

:20:44.:20:50.

finish the training sessions I am back home to feed and went my

:20:50.:20:54.

daughter. It is amazing to have her here. Ahead of the big fight, there

:20:54.:20:58.

has been a big change to the likes of Kell Brook and his partner

:20:58.:21:02.

Lindsay. Their daughter arrived four weeks ago, at the height of

:21:02.:21:06.

Kell Brook's training to take on Matthew Passion. We both had

pressure on us, but it is his job. -- Matthew Hutton. We have taken it

:21:12.:21:17.

in her stride and been the best parents we can. Is it taking your

:21:17.:21:22.

mind off his fight? If I am honest, normally before his fight I get

:21:22.:21:27.

into a state, but it has taken my mind off at this time. I have not

:21:27.:21:32.

thought about it as much. Today it was time for him to face the crowds

:21:32.:21:40.

at the weekend. The hair was on the back of me neck when I walked down

:21:40.:21:46.

the escalator. You do this and a big fight week with it coming up,

:21:46.:21:49.

but now it is about resting and making sure we turn up on Saturday.

:21:49.:21:55.

Will you put on a show for him? Or I will put on a show, all right.

:21:55.:21:59.

I'll put a show on. For the next few days, kill must

:21:59.:22:04.

focus on the fight. Good luck to kill, I am pretty

:22:04.:22:10.

confident that he will win through. When stocks remain, with three

:22:10.:22:13.

swimmers to after the Olympics. To the Olympics, one to the

:22:13.:22:18.

Paralympics. Becky, let's talk to you. You could

:22:18.:22:22.

sue place in the 200 metres freestyle. A fantastic race in a

:22:22.:22:27.

state -- in a strong field. But you think you could win? I was always a

:22:27.:22:31.

sure I could win, but in the time, I always thought that just to be

:22:31.:22:37.

able to do it is a while. Just put us into the frame of how strong 200

:22:37.:22:42.

metre freestyle at Sonning is in this country. We have lots a big

:22:42.:22:46.

names in this country. It is a fast field. -- 200 metre freestyle

:22:46.:22:52.

swimming. You did your place in the Olympics, no one can ask more than

:22:52.:22:57.

that. I beat my personal best by one second, I am very pleased.

:22:57.:23:02.

Let's move on, used Matthews in the 200 and the 800. What was the week

:23:02.:23:06.

like for you? It was a great experience, especially with the

:23:06.:23:11.

home crowd out there. Being able to compete in front of them. And

:23:11.:23:14.

knowing that there will be 50,000 more people later as well, it is

:23:14.:23:19.

nerve-racking. He were a second behind Becky Adlington, can you

:23:19.:23:26.

catch up? I will do my best. are both 19, it must be lovely

:23:26.:23:31.

coming through together. It is great. Having a friend on the team

:23:31.:23:34.

and been able to speak to her whenever I need to is amazing.

:23:35.:23:39.

But come to James, as you are an old hand, you are going after the

:23:39.:23:44.

third Paralympics. It was great to qualify, I have qualified before

:23:44.:23:48.

but this will hopefully be my third. If everything goes well, it will

:23:48.:23:54.

hopefully be a great home game. He cannot ask for more. What was the

:23:54.:23:59.

atmosphere like? It was great, when they gave a picture it was pretty

:23:59.:24:04.

loud. That was only 3,000 people, so when there are 15,000 people it

:24:04.:24:09.

will be amazing. Best of luck, I am sure we will speak to all of you do

:24:09.:24:13.

for summer. Before I go, a quick piece of football news, because

:24:13.:24:18.

Wembley is looming for yet another of her teens. But City are aiming

:24:18.:24:22.

for a place in the FA Trophy final in May, but first they must hold

:24:22.:24:26.

off the challenge of Luton in the semi-final second leg. The going to

:24:26.:24:34.

be oddly like holding a slender one-0 lead. Best of luck to them.

:24:34.:24:39.

Thank you very much. Later on we will find out if it

:24:39.:24:43.

will be hot this weekend. It is day three of the BBC Sport

:24:44.:24:48.

Relief challenge, and the pedalo athletes are doing well.

I quite fancy pedalo myself. I bet it is called this week.

:25:34.:25:40.

Isn't it downhill? Yes it will be, Isn't it downhill? Yes it will be,

:25:40.:25:45.

I hope they have the ponchos ready. Let's look at today's photos. We

saw some sunshine. This is the daffodils on Harrogate straight.

This is a reservoir courtesy of Diane. And on to one of my favoured

:25:56.:26:03.

parts of the coast. Please keep your photos coming in.

:26:03.:26:06.

It will turn more unsettled through the weekend, we are looking at

:26:06.:26:10.

showery outbreaks of rain. If you look at the pressure charge, you

:26:10.:26:14.

can see why. The weather front is set to cross over during the

:26:14.:26:18.

weekend. The satellite picture shows how we have had a variable

:26:18.:26:23.

amount of cloud. We have seen it break up in some places, including

:26:23.:26:27.

the Vale of York. Tonight, the cloud will thicken up. It will

:26:27.:26:32.

bring outbreaks of rain. It will be mostly right -- mostly light and

:26:32.:26:38.

patchy. Hopefully it will not drop too low tonight. No lower than five

:26:38.:26:41.

or seven degrees. Seven will be 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

:26:41.:26:49.

On Sunrise it will rise at quarter past six. Some said will be at

:26:49.:26:52.

quarter past 6:00pm. They will be a lot of cloud to

:26:52.:26:58.

begin the day. The game will die out and the cloud will thin. We

:26:58.:27:03.

will seek clouts with some spell of sunshine. We will see clouds

:27:03.:27:06.

developing it and through the afternoon the showers will get

:27:06.:27:10.

going. They will merge into a longer spell of rain particularly

:27:10.:27:15.

in the late afternoon. The piece will be from the West on north-west,

:27:15.:27:18.

taking the edge of the temperature. It will be nine degrees along the

:27:18.:27:22.

coast. For most of us it will be a and ten degrees. Perhaps in

:27:22.:27:25.

Yorkshire we will see temperatures of 11 degrees.
