Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the programme tonight... | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Once the best rugby league team in the world - the Bradford Bulls are | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
now on the brink of going bust. They are run iconic team for the | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
game of rugby league and it would be very sad. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Fans are asked to dig deep to save the club - we will be asking the | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
chief executive how it came to this. Also tonight - bravery beyond the | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
call of duty. Tributes to the bomb disposal | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
expert who died trying to save others. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
And when dreams turn to nightmares - we speak to writer Kay Mellor | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
about The Syndicate, a BBC drama about lottery winners from Leeds. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
And a full looking reservoir was listening in today's sunshine, and | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
there will be more sunshine tomorrow. A more details in the | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
forecast, and shortly. -- coming up shortly. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
First tonight - one of the most famous teams in rugby league is on | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
the brink of collapse. Bradford Bulls say that their match on Good | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Friday against Leeds could be their last unless they raise �500,000 to | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
solve their crippling cash problems. In a moment we will talk to the | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Bulls' Chief Executive Ryan Duckett, but first Paul Ogden looks at the | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
background to today's dramatic For from sitting on top of the | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
world in 2006 to crisis headlines in 2012. And when Super League was | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
invented, Bradford were amongst the trailblazers. Modernising their | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
image, ditching of the traditional Bradford Northern name and the a | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
famously bullish approach. In came the crowds, the accolades and the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
trophies. They won the Super League in only its second season, the | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
Challenge Cup in the year 2,000 and three Grand Final wins at Old | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Trafford put the platform for three world club champions titles. These | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
days, they rarely go on the rampage. All but one of the home matches | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
this season have ended in defeat. Crowds are down, and come not | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
nearly enough to service an annual wage bill of �2.5 million. A thing | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
if there is a really strong competition and one club does not | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
mean the lead is in danger of going out of business. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
-- I think. We have a great deal with be that -- the BBC and with | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
this guy. These club issues will occur from time to time. -- with | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
Sky. Lost and Dingle liabilities remain and the Bank will clearly | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:19. | ||
not be propping them up forever. Now it the Bradford Bulls' board | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
has resorted to asking fans and sponsors for urgent donations of | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
�100 each. Typically, Rugby League folk have already started to rally | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
:03:39. | :03:40. | ||
The overall target is to raise �1 million, half of it in time for | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Easter. A quest for success, its official title, but in simple terms | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
:03:55. | :03:55. | ||
it is a question of survival now Ryan Duckett is the chief executive | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
of Bradford Bulls. Not so long a board they seemed to be bailed out | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
of the problem. Have they in a strange way caused to this problem | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
you have now? No, I think the stadium deal with the RFL allowed | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
us to tackle long-term difficulties and secured our immediate future. | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
Moving for what, -- for word, RBS made their statement, there were | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
individual guarantees with the bank but they have not found adequate | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
security for the overdraft and have called the overdraft at short | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
notice. Who is to blame? | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Is it mismanagement of finances or are you just spending too much | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
money? Were have long-term liabilities as a club. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
There have been some extraordinary costs from legal issues, well- | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
documented with a rival club. The economy is very difficult for all | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
sports club at the moment, and and -- ultimately we have | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
underperformed on the field. That has affected all revenue streams | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
coming on to that -- into the club. It has made it very difficult for a | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
:05:14. | :05:17. | ||
club which -- whose honour model has -- 80 % of the Rugby League | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
clubs have this ornamental -- or a model, and it has created this | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
escalated issue. You can absolute lay guarantee that you were not | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
scaremongering? The Good Friday game could be the | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
last one unless 500 million -- by funded �1,000? That Italy one week | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
away. It is a serious situation, we have these liabilities. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
The bank has escalated the issue for us, and it is not just | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
scaremongering, if we do not raise this money, and I realise it is a | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
big ask in tough economic times, but if people don't get behind it | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
the worst may happen. The worst may happen, the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
suggestion is that it would do. Well, we whole become a we are | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
pitting an appeal out to the supporters. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
-- well, we hope. The fact is, you're fine so have been pretty | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
good, they have helped with season tickets in the past and so on. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Are you asking too much? It is a big ask in tough economic times, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
you only have to read the news for will stop there are lots of things | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
away from sport where there are bigger issues. We do not have the | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
luxury of a benefactor who can write a cheque. And if the business | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
camp survive... But we have to, are as an | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
organisation, look to try and do everything to keep us going, and it | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
is a drastic appeal. We felt we had no choice, things | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
have happened at short notice to escalate this, but we're trying to | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
be proactive before things progress further. | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
Ryan Duckett, thank you very much indeed. Good luck. Tributes have | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
been paid to a bomb disposal expert from Huddersfield who died trying | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
to defuse a bomb in Afghanistan. Bradford Coroners Court heard today | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
how Captain Lisa Head was killed as she attempted to detonate IEDs in | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Helmand last April. She had been knocked off her feet by a previous | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
partial detonation but went back and was defusing another when the | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
explosion happened. She survived long enough to be brought home, but | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
died later in hospital. Colonel Bob Seddon knew Lisa Head well, and a | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
little earlier he told me about his friend and colleague. I say softly | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
so during the course of her training and also down at the Royal | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
College of Science at Shrivenham. I also saw her undergoing | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
preparation for Afghanistan. She struck me from the would call as a | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
very sharp and effervescent character, keen to get on and she | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
was a first-rate ammunition Technical Officer. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
As we now know, the try digger then to have been unveiled at the | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
inquest, a very brave one. Undoubtedly, what struck me a about | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
Lisa was her selfless commitment. Right until the very end she was | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
thinking about others, the battle group she was working within | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
Afghanistan, the effect on IEDs on her team. Presumably, she was also | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
very much more moved to, as many of the soldiers I have spoken to have | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
been, about the effects on the Afghan people? | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
Yes, in Thailand. Whilst we in the West tend to focus | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
on the coalition casualties, the most casualties caused by IEDs are | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
on the Afghanistan population, particularly children. -- yes, | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
entirely. There will be some watching tonight's who say that | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
this merely proves that war is no place for a woman, and a young | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
woman, at that. I would emphatic late is a agree | :09:10. | :09:20. | |
:09:20. | :09:20. | ||
with that. Lisa was highly qualified. -- I | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
would emphatically disagree with that. As a tribute to her, just | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
some of her kind of personality so that we can realise how important | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
she was to those who served with her. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
She had an abundance of the quality as I look for in a first-rate | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
technical officer. Her selfless commitment was | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
uppermost, determination, she was intelligent, forthright, she was a | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
superb leader of men, and I spoke to her just after she employed -- | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
deployed to Afghanistan in Northern Ireland, and she did a superb job | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
in Northern Ireland. She was dealing with IEDs in Northern | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Ireland and was ready for the challenge Afghanistan paused. You | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
have to remember Afghanistan bomb disposal is one of the most | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
dangerous jobs in the world. She was superbly trained and at the top | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
:10:27. | :10:27. | ||
of her game, and she paid it the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you very | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
much. Stay with us. Later on the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
programme... It's the end of an era - the | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
forensic science lab which helped solve some of Britain's most | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
notorious crimes for over 30 years is closed. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
A Sheffield MP is calling for assisted dying to be legalised | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
after his father committed suicide. Speaking in the Commons with | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
emotion in his voice, the Sheffield Central Labour MP Paul Blomfield | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
said it must now be a question of when the law is changed, not if. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Holding back tears, Mr Bonfield said there will law should be | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
changed. I am sure that we would drop him to | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
end his life when he did was the fear that if he did not act when he | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
could he would lose the opportunity to a toll. | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
If the law had made it possible, I am sure he would have shared his | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
plans. He would have been able to say goodbye. He would have been | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
able to dine with his family around him, not alone in a carbon monoxide | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
filmed garage. Talks to avert a strike by bin | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
workers in Sheffield have broken up this afternoon without a decision. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
On Friday members of the GMB union voted to take strike action over | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
pay but talks will resume later this week with Veolia, the company | :11:48. | :11:58. | |

who provide the service on behalf Two multi-million pound deals which | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
could create hundreds of jobs in Yorkshire have been agreed between | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
companies in our region and firms in South Korea. Weir Valves, shown | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
here, which is based in Elland, has won a �17 million contract, while | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Dave Brown Gear Systems in Huddersfield has signed an | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
exclusive deal with Samsung. The first order alone is worth �10 | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
million. The announcement has been made by Deputy Prime Minister Nick | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Clegg, while on a trade visit to the country. | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
The line-up for this year's Tramlines Festival in Sheffield has | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
been announced. The free festival is expected to attract more than | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
the 150,000 people who went last year. Among this year's highlights | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
will be Sheffield-based rapper Roots Manuva. Tramlines takes place | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
from the 20th to the 22nd July. Next tonight - from the Yorkshire | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Ripper inquiry to the hunt for Shannon Matthews - the world-famous | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Wetherby Forensic Science Laboratory has helped solve crimes | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
in Yorkshire and around the world. But this week it closes its doors | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
for the final time. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy has been | :12:54. | :13:03. | |
given exclusive access. An industrial estate in Yorkshire | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
market town, this building has housed a vital forensic work in | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
some of the country's biggest forensic investigations. At times | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
it has been a world leader, but after this week no more. The once | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
busy forensic labs, the massive save some which housed guns, drugs | :13:23. | :13:32. | |
and crime could -- crime critical swabs, all lie empty. All this | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
because the Government forensic services been privatised. The | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
previously closely guarded DNA treatment Lab, which led the world | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
in its day. I can bring you here now because the machines are not | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
working. For a while this Laboratory had a | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
worldwide reputation, not bad for a little market town just outside | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Leeds, but for a while we were regarded as Waddle bidders in DNA | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
technology. This search four years ago for the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
vet -- then missing double Shannon Matthews was one of the major | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
investigations which has involved the Wetherby team. In the past 35 | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
years, scientist Julian Leach has seen that and much more. One of the | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
big just was the Yorkshire Ripper. The very fast ripple effect of | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
realising the final piece of the jigsaw had fallen into place to | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
solve that crime was something I will never forget. Once for 300 | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
worked at Wetherby. Even now at its closure it is 200 | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
and only a fraction of those are getting jobs in the privatised | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
service. How is our you? Devastated a. | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
I thought I would be he -- be here until I retired. I have a lot of | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
affection for the people I work with, so it will be a hard day on | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
Friday. What the Home Secretary opened all those years ago has | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
finally come to an end. Before 7pm... | :14:58. | :15:00. | |

Choral society puts the words of One of the region's finest stately | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
homes has received a boost with the completion of a �6 million | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
renovation project. Part of the run-down stable yard at Hardwick | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
Hall in North Derbyshire has been restored and now features | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
restaurants and shops. As James Roberson reports, the Duke of | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
:15:42. | :15:47. | ||
Devonshire says his ancestor - Bess It is aware of arriving at | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Hardwicke never before favoured by Dukes, but the Duke of Devonshire | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
came this week to the stately home in at North Derbyshire to see the | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
radical changes in the stable yard. They are the culmination of a | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
seven-year project to redevelop the visitor's entrance to Hardwick Hall. | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
These buildings have been on the Buildings at Risk register for some | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
time and we wanted basic repairs. Then it was to get them into a good | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
use. People are now going to see a view they have never seen before. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
For more than two years, the stable yard has been a building site, but | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
now it is almost complete thanks to the �6.5 million found to renovate | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
the 16th century buildings and convert them into shops and | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
restaurants. Visitors can hire the cottages and | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
enjoy a new vistas. This is an investment that none of late looks | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
after extraordinarily important buildings but gives Hardwick Hall a | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
viable financial future by ensuring people can come here and have | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
access to all of the best houses in the -- one of the best houses in | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the country. I think there is at least six new | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
things you have invented for us... Opening the development, the dear% | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
his ancestor, Bess of Hardwick, would have been pleased by the | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
renovation. I think she would have been a | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
thriller, because she loved value for money. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
To see these buildings which were falling into dereliction until the | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
National Trust realised they had ideas which would help me get a | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
more enjoyable day out here, she would have been thrilled with that. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
While the whole supply will only be open from February-October, the new | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
stable yard will be open all year round and bring new access to the | :17:34. | :17:43. | |
estate, too. In sport, Sheffield boxer Kell | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Brook has confirmed he will fight again at the city's Motor point | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Arena on July 7th. It follows his victory earlier this month at the | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
same venue against Matthew Hatton. His opponent for the bout has yet | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
to be confirmed. What would you do if you won the | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
lottery? Well, that's the subject of Yorkshire screen-writer Kay | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
Mellor's latest drama series, which begins tonight on BBC One. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
The Syndicate - which is based in Leeds - follows five workers at a | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
cut-price supermarket, whose lives are turned upside down after their | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
numbers come up, and it stars several familiar faces. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
The have identification? Are if we decide to go public which | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
newspaper as we look being? I should thank all of them. | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
I don't mind the local paper's reporting it come but I don't think | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
we should let them all Noel. Why not? I just don't. | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
Why would mention our name is. Yes, but not your addresses. Some | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
people will know all did you love, so we will have good of about | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
strategy. What is up? I just got one p people | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
knowing our Business. You should be jumping for joy, you | :18:46. | :18:50. | |

forward to would, but money should buy happiness. | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
Does it in the The Syndicate? I don't think so, the people to pay | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
to a but a, it doesn't buy love. It can buy you out of debt, it can | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
buy an ice house, it can buy you things but it cannot buy a French | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
ship, either. It is a cautionary tale this. -- it cannot buy | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
friendship. They have got money and it with stem into a totally | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
different economic sphere, but there is a downside, as well. | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
you have used the same former at as you did in fact friends, each of | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
them get an episode each and we get to know how it has affected them. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
I love being able to do although into a character. | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
But you have to keep the story are going, keep The Syndicate going, | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
because we visit them each week. This episode is Stuart's story, he | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
is played by Matthew McNulty, who is fantastic. Next week's is | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
Denys's story, she is a newcomer, Lorraine Bruce. I like her. She has | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
fabulous. Isn't she a slight heart? She is | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
just brilliant. What was so good about her is, she | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
has not really an non-person. And the make-up to diva, awful teeth... | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
Glasses, frizzy hair, box. But she and breasted, add weight and till | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
you see her in episode two, she is incredible. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
But she was unknown, really, and the BBC said, if you think she is | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
the right person, goal with her. I was really thrilled by that. You | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
have to work harder if further be DEC, don't you? | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
In the old days it was 45 minutes, you have to write another word now? | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
Yes. How much longer is this going to be? It back but I love that. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
I love the fact there are no commercial breaks. You can just | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
absorb yourself and the story and almost forget you are watching | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
television. You can imagine you are a lottery winner. It is a great | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
cast, Joanna Page, and Timothy Spall, that is a bit of a coup. | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
is, I sent him episode one and to Mac, he said he was relate and | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
traced it -- one and two, he said he was really interested. | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
He is the store manager, and yes, when he read a persona three, he | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
said he would read it three first before he committed. I knew that I | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
had been quids in because episode three was his story. And you | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
haven't finished it yet, you are still writing it. He has, I am | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
still writing episode four and five. It is starts tonight! But it is | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
odds four and five I am still putting of the music's on and | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
making sure the collar is right. It is quite daunting, I have to make | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
sure it doesn't catch upon me, you will? Well, we won't keep you. 9pm, | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
will you what it? Of course we will, we love you. You are nervous of the | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
new series. By Noel, I a man anxious wreck! | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
-- I know all, I am an anxious row The lives and words of the Bronte | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
sisters from Haworth have been transformed into art, film and | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
drama many times since they were first penned on the moors in the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
1800s. But this weekend they will be sung by Europe's oldest choral | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
society, based in neighbouring Halifax. Olivia Richwald has had a | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
sneak preview of the performance today - where else but up on the | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:18. | ||
These are the words of a poem written by Anne Bronte, apt to be | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
sung by eight Europe's oldest choral society. The group was | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
founded in 1817, around the same time Emily, Charlotte and Anne | :23:28. | :23:38. | |
:23:38. | :23:41. | ||
They lived in very high and conditions, by up they had this | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
very strong faith. It is seeing, I cannot give you my | :23:44. | :23:54. | |
heart, but take it. Each movement ends with an affirmation of faith. | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
The Halifax Choral Society is almost 200 years old, but its | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
membership is still being bolstered by the younger generation. | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
heard, not yet, but by another set of sisters. Chloe is just 16. Being | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
a member it feels different to other choirs because I feel small | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
when I go to rehearsals, and I may be small, but I have a baby got on | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
me. It is beautiful, a gorgeous setting, and I think it really give | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
you a sense of where everything came from. It gives you perspective | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
when you are signing a peace. It makes you focus on this. Sharing | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
the stage and the limelight at Halifax's Victoria Theatre will be | :24:41. | :24:50. | |
these new statues of the Brontes. Unlike the three sisters, it is | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
hoped the audience will be moved by the performance. Fantastic. It was | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
not at Wuthering Heights, it was blue skies, I like the moors when | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
they are a little wilder. Dr me about the weather. -- talked | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Dr me about the weather. -- talked to me a boat the weather. | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
A lot of people think they have colds, but silver birch tree pollen | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
is very high at the moment. Are people allergic? Yes, I used to | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
be grass pollen, now I am tree pollen allergic. The let me show | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
you three pictures, the first is a beautiful sunrise this morning, and | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
then Canon Hall was looking beautiful, the gardens are glorious. | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
But there is a downside to this sunny weather, this was this | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:54. | ||
afternoon, a fire that took hold Let's look at the top temperatures, | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
Skipton was the hot spot this afternoon with 23 Celsius. That may | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
have been a local record, but across Yorkshire we still need to | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
be 25 Celsius that was set in Wakefield in 1965. But it is | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
exceptionally warm for the time of year. Tomorrow will again be sunny | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
and very warm. If you want to set your barometer, 1035 millibars. | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
There is not a cloud in this guide now, a very warm end to the day. | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
This evening very little happening, the air is very dry, so we are not | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
even expecting any mist. Rarely across low-lying parts of Dr around | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
Don that there will be a touch of air frost with temperatures around | :26:51. | :27:01. | |
:27:01. | :27:02. | ||
one Celsius or four Celsius. The sun will rise at 6:48pm. Tomorrow, | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
a glorious late March day, dry, clear and sunny all day long. | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
Subtly, the wind will be in a different direction. That means the | :27:13. | :27:22. | |
coast will be in every -- will be every bit as warm as inland. 20 | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Celsius expected along the Yorkshire coast tomorrow, 22 | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
Celsius across parts of West and South Yorkshire, perhaps North | :27:31. | :27:35. |
