:00:00. > :00:07.6—iron Good evening and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the
:00:07. > :00:11.programme tonight: Godfrey Bloom, the Yorkshire MEP who called a group
:00:11. > :00:20.of women "sluts", tells us why he's leaving the UK Independence Party.
:00:20. > :00:24.Everybody knows me. A bit like the old Marmite joke, they either like
:00:24. > :00:28.me or hate me but I've always told it like it is. I'm a little bit long
:00:28. > :00:31.in the tooth now to do political correctness. We'll hear more from
:00:31. > :00:33.Godfrey Bloom in a moment, and also meet the woman tipped to replace
:00:33. > :00:37.him. Also tonight: A court hears how the
:00:37. > :00:40.tenacity of a new police recruit led to the discovery of a four—year—old
:00:40. > :00:48.boy who'd starved to death. And recognition at last for the
:00:48. > :00:52.part—time artists creating iconic mosaics in their spare time.
:00:52. > :00:53.And don't forget to join me for your detailed five—day weather forecast
:00:53. > :01:03.in 20 minutes. Good evening and welcome to Look
:01:03. > :01:06.North. The Yorkshire MEP Godfrey Bloom, who
:01:06. > :01:09.was condemned last week for calling a group of women "sluts", is leaving
:01:09. > :01:13.the UK Independence Party. He'll continue as an independent MEP — not
:01:13. > :01:17.linked to any party — until elections next year. UKIP's leader
:01:17. > :01:22.Nigel Farage criticised Mr Bloom after his comments, but said today
:01:22. > :01:25.he was sorry it had come to this. Our political correspondent Tim
:01:25. > :01:35.Iredale has been speaking to Mr Bloom today.
:01:35. > :01:39.It's goodbye, Godfrey. After being suspended by UKIP following his
:01:39. > :01:43.controversial comments, the outspoken MEP says he no longer
:01:43. > :01:48.wants to represent the party in the European Parliament. Everybody knows
:01:48. > :01:52.me. A bit like the old Marmite joke, they either like me or hate me but
:01:52. > :01:56.I've always told it like it is. I'm afraid I'm a little bit too long in
:01:56. > :01:59.the tooth now to do political correctness and I understand that
:01:59. > :02:05.UKIP has moved on and they're doing jolly well and I wish them well.
:02:05. > :02:09.You've nicked out the colour of peoples faces. Disgraceful! This
:02:09. > :02:15.altercation with a reporter came on the day Mr Bloom had described a
:02:15. > :02:21.group of UK activists —— UKIP activists as "sluts". It was
:02:21. > :02:26.we are joke and I've had hundreds of e—mails from people saying, can't
:02:26. > :02:30.you make a joke any more? UKIP party leadership say his use of that word
:02:30. > :02:33.was the final straw after previous controversies including claims that
:02:33. > :02:39.women should clean behind the fridge and that aid should not dissent to
:02:39. > :02:50.Bongo Bongo land. —— the centre. Mr Bloomer says he will remain a member
:02:50. > :02:52.of the UK Independence Party —— will not remain a member of the UK
:02:52. > :02:57.Independence Party. We asked voters in Rotherham weather Godfrey Bloom
:02:57. > :03:06.was right to step down as a UKIP MEP. I think it's time he went. It's
:03:06. > :03:11.all a bit of a model. He should go off into the wilderness. Get rid. I
:03:11. > :03:16.think get rid because people like that shouldn't even be allowed. He's
:03:16. > :03:22.always overstepped the mark for his own personal image for a pat on the
:03:22. > :03:26.back about how outspoken he is and I think you'll fall on his sword.
:03:26. > :03:29.Godfrey Bloom says his political career is probably over, though he
:03:29. > :03:36.hasn't completely ruled out standing as an independent. In his words,
:03:36. > :03:43.never say never in politics. I'm joined now by fellow UKIP member
:03:43. > :03:48.Jane Collins, whom Mr Bloom has tipped to be his successor. You're a
:03:48. > :03:49.long—term friend and colleague of Mr Bloom — did you laugh at his
:03:49. > :03:59.so—called joke? very well. Did you ask me how I
:03:59. > :04:03.reacted to his so—called joke? Yes. We were all there in the room at the
:04:03. > :04:10.fringe meeting. I was speaking at the time. It was said in jest. The
:04:10. > :04:13.whole room did laugh. I didn't really react to it personally at
:04:13. > :04:18.all, because of the way it was said and the way it was meant to be
:04:18. > :04:22.taken. He's always been politically incorrect but he stepped a long way
:04:22. > :04:28.over the line here. Something that journalist over the head with a
:04:28. > :04:33.magazine, for instance. I think UKIP as a party has moved on. We've
:04:33. > :04:38.professionalised and our discipline standards have changed. Godfrey is
:04:38. > :04:42.an old—fashioned politician. If you push a camera in his face and your
:04:42. > :04:49.rude to him, he'll be rude back to you. He's an old—fashioned gentleman
:04:49. > :04:52.and he doesn't believe in journalists that are rude and
:04:52. > :04:58.aggressive and instigate certain situations just for the media. He
:04:58. > :05:06.says you now have his wholehearted support. Are you preparing for a job
:05:06. > :05:11.as the next UKIP MEP? Well, the listings on the placings for
:05:11. > :05:17.next... Well, for the coming elections, is not yet publicised.
:05:17. > :05:20.That will happen next Tuesday. So I am an MEP candidate but my position
:05:20. > :05:23.on the list has not been announced yet. Thank you very much.
:05:23. > :05:26.A jury has heard how the persistence of a newly recruited police
:05:26. > :05:30.community support officer eventually gained access to the house in
:05:30. > :05:32.Bradford where the mummified body of a four year old boy was discovered.
:05:33. > :05:37.The remains of Hamzah Khan's body were found in his cot in the family
:05:37. > :05:40.home in September 2011. He had lain dead for nearly two years. His
:05:40. > :05:43.mother Amanda Hutton denies the manslaughter of her son by gross
:05:43. > :05:54.negligence at the trial at Bradford Crown Court. Our crime correspondent
:05:54. > :05:58.John Cundy reports. PC Jodie Dunsmore is now a fully
:05:58. > :06:02.fledged police officer in the West Yorkshire force that she'd been a
:06:02. > :06:06.community support officer for only a few days when she became uneasy
:06:06. > :06:12.about what was happening in Amanda Hutton's family home, back in
:06:12. > :06:15.September 2011. PC Dunsmore had been alerted by a complaint from a
:06:15. > :06:21.neighbour about rubbish being thrown over his garden wall. Eight times PC
:06:21. > :06:26.Dunsmore called without reply, before finally bluffing her way into
:06:26. > :06:29.Amanda Hutton's home. PC Dunsmore said that when Amanda Hutton
:06:29. > :06:33.eventually opened her door, there was a look of fear on her face. The
:06:33. > :06:38.officer reported a vile smell coming from the house. Colleagues were
:06:38. > :06:41.alerted and eventually, the mummified body of Hamzah Khan was
:06:41. > :06:46.found in his cot in an upstairs bedroom. He'd died almost two years
:06:46. > :06:51.previously, aged four and a half. The evidence of the conditions in
:06:51. > :06:56.Amanda Hutton's home were told the jury by PC Jane Lax, who reported an
:06:56. > :06:58.horrendous foul smell of rotting waste and the house infested with
:06:58. > :07:06.fruit flies. She said she'd been so overcome she had to leave. The jury
:07:06. > :07:09.heard that in the house of squalor, rubbish was piled high in every
:07:09. > :07:14.room, decaying food and filth everywhere. The PC lacks noted that
:07:14. > :07:27.in the middle of all that stood a new flatscreen TV. —— at PC Jane
:07:27. > :07:33.Lax. As she was led away, Mr was shaking and admitted she was an
:07:33. > :07:36.alcoholic, according to PC Jane Lax. She confirmed her son had died
:07:36. > :07:42.nearly two years earlier, on December 15, 2009. Amanda Hutton
:07:42. > :07:45.remains on bail during her trial, which is expected to last up to
:07:45. > :07:50.three weeks. Later on Look North: Meet
:07:50. > :07:51.Camem—Bear. He's the teddy designed by a Wetherby woman to help young
:07:52. > :07:59.children learn to speak French. In other news, the sports minister
:07:59. > :08:02.Hugh Robertson says no more government money will be made
:08:02. > :08:13.available for Yorkshire's Grand Depart. The Tour de France. In
:08:13. > :08:18.Yorkshire in July but during a visit to Leeds today, Mr Robertson was
:08:18. > :08:22.adamant about £10 million already pledged by the government would not
:08:22. > :08:26.be increased. If you look at the amount of money being given to com
:08:26. > :08:31.bubble events, the rugby the World Cup is about no 5p. If you look at
:08:31. > :08:33.some of the world and European Championships in 2015, there are
:08:33. > :08:37.tiny sums, so 10 generous grant.
:08:37. > :08:39.North Yorkshire Police have announced plans to build new
:08:39. > :08:43.multi—million pound headquarters in Thirsk. They say the current site,
:08:43. > :08:46.in a grade two listed building in Newby Wiske near Northallerton, is
:08:46. > :08:50.too expensive and difficult to maintain. The power supply dips and
:08:50. > :08:54.parts of the site are empty because of redundancies.
:08:54. > :08:57.Lights at a level crossing where a four—year—old girl was killed were
:08:57. > :09:01.not as bright as they should have been, according to a rail accident
:09:01. > :09:04.report. Emma Lifsey, from North Lincolnshire, died when the car she
:09:04. > :09:07.was in drove through a closed half—level crossing barrier near
:09:07. > :09:12.Finningley and was hit by a train last December. The report said her
:09:12. > :09:16.grandmother, who'd been driving, only noticed the lights when she was
:09:16. > :09:19.very close. Firefighters are staging a four—hour
:09:19. > :09:23.strike tomorrow in a dispute over pensions. In South Yorkshire, senior
:09:23. > :09:27.managers will be joined by specially trained volunteers in order to
:09:27. > :09:36.provide emergency cover. In Sheffield tonight is our reporter
:09:36. > :09:39.Tom Ingall. This is the fire station on the
:09:39. > :09:44.outskirts of Sheffield and tomorrow at 12pm, just like other fire
:09:44. > :09:48.stations across Yorkshire, people will stop what they are doing and
:09:48. > :09:52.walk out. Those who belong to the Fire Brigades Union will, anyway.
:09:52. > :09:56.This is a national strike about pensions and the retirement age so
:09:56. > :10:00.local Chief Fire officers are powerless to stop going on but still
:10:00. > :10:05.to provide a service. In South Yorkshire, they'll do that by using
:10:05. > :10:08.a mixture of airport firefighters, trained volunteers and senior
:10:08. > :10:13.managers and they hope to man up to eight pumps across South Yorkshire.
:10:13. > :10:18.Earlier today is bowed to the Chief fire officer and asked if it was
:10:18. > :10:24.safe. There no military personnel available any more. Green are thing
:10:24. > :10:26.of the past and I'm reminded constantly by government that I have
:10:26. > :10:36.a legal obligation to provide a service. —— Green goddesses. These
:10:36. > :10:39.temporary firefighters are better than there being no cover whatsoever
:10:39. > :10:45.in South Yorkshire during industrial action. I am joined by a
:10:45. > :10:49.representative of the Fire Brigades Union. This action is going to cause
:10:49. > :10:54.destruction, isn't it? There is a risk something might go wrong so why
:10:54. > :10:58.Bush ahead? We've been forced into this. We've been trying to negotiate
:10:58. > :11:01.a settlement for two years but the government shut the door.
:11:01. > :11:05.Firefighters don't want to strike. Public safety is the number—1
:11:05. > :11:11.concern but having firefighters attempt rescues in late 50s is
:11:11. > :11:15.ridiculous. So your concern is the government want to make firefighters
:11:15. > :11:21.retire later? That's part of it, also that they want us to work
:11:21. > :11:24.later, pay more into pensions and take less out of it at the end.
:11:24. > :11:29.That's not what our members signed up for. It's like being mis—sold a
:11:29. > :11:34.pension. It's a four hour strike in the middle of the day. Can you see
:11:34. > :11:38.at developing and carrying on? That depends on Brendan Lewis and the
:11:38. > :11:40.rest of the government. We are always willing to talk and will be
:11:40. > :11:44.happy to negotiate this and cease any further fire strike action.
:11:44. > :11:48.From next year, language in primary schools will
:11:48. > :11:51.become compulsory from the age of seven. And, with that in mind, an
:11:52. > :11:54.ex—French teacher and mum from Wetherby has designed a
:11:54. > :11:58.French—speaking teddy bear to introduce very young children to a
:11:58. > :12:01.new language. It's already been taken up by over 30 schools, with
:12:01. > :12:15.rave reviews from teachers and children. Heidi Tomlinson went to
:12:15. > :12:19.see Camem—Bear in action. Five—year—olds at a primary school
:12:19. > :12:26.near Boroughbridge absorbing French with ease. Where do we start?
:12:26. > :12:29.Learning French with Camem—Bear is a new programme put together by a mum
:12:29. > :12:35.and Exxon which teacher from Wetherby. Leanne Jefferson designed
:12:35. > :12:42.and sourced to the friendly puppet, combined him with songs, rhymes and
:12:42. > :12:47.books, and now over 30 schools use them. Learning French with
:12:47. > :12:51.Camem—Bear is about giving your children a fun experience so that
:12:51. > :12:55.they can go into key stage two having learnt French with a central
:12:55. > :13:01.character whom they've identified with. He always helps us with French
:13:01. > :13:10.because he's a friend to us, all of us. Everybody say it. Be appealing
:13:10. > :13:14.Teddy can be brought to life by any teacher, giving primary schools are
:13:14. > :13:18.cost effective in—house resource which may come in useful next year,
:13:18. > :13:27.when learning a language comes compulsory from age seven.
:13:27. > :13:29.children are very excited when Camem—Bear comes out of the magic
:13:29. > :13:36.bag. Very keen to learn to use the French words. He helps us say
:13:36. > :13:40.goodbye and hello in French. They do it within credible ease. I
:13:40. > :13:44.absolutely love watching how children are absorbed it, how they
:13:44. > :13:58.in repeat of the new words and phrases. I know how to say one two,
:13:58. > :14:02.three, four in French. Camem—Bear is now counting down to the Tour de
:14:02. > :14:09.France, taking to his bicycle where he'll feature on free packs for
:14:09. > :14:15.schools about the history of the worlds greatest cycle race, which
:14:15. > :14:20.begins in Leeds next summer. Before seven o'clock: We meet the
:14:20. > :14:23.new Calendar Girls. They're a group of women happy to pose topless
:14:23. > :14:30.despite the trauma of going through a double mastectomy.
:14:30. > :14:36.From George Best to Johnny Depp, Madonna to Bob Marley — join us a
:14:36. > :14:40.little later as we meet in the Yorkshire mosaic artists who spent
:14:40. > :14:42.many a night on the tiles perfecting their craft for a debut exhibition
:14:42. > :14:50.next month. Many of us might balk at the idea of
:14:50. > :14:54.taking off all our clothes and appearing on camera — even if it is
:14:54. > :14:58.for a very good cause. But imagine doing that if you had just had both
:14:58. > :15:01.your breasts removed. Well, 25 women, who are all at high
:15:01. > :15:04.risk of getting breast cancer because they carry the BRCA gene,
:15:04. > :15:09.are appearing in a calendar. And they've all had double mastectomies.
:15:09. > :15:13.Well, in a moment we'll speak to four of the women, but first let's
:15:13. > :15:41.take a behind the scenes look at the calendar being filmed.
:15:41. > :15:53.# I am beautiful, in every single way.
:15:53. > :16:00.# Yes, words can't bring me down. # So don't you bring me down today.
:16:00. > :16:05.Well, the idea behind the calendar was the brainchild of Wendy Watson
:16:05. > :16:08.from Bakewell in Derbyshire. She also set up the National Hereditary
:16:08. > :16:11.Breast Cancer Helpline. She joins us along with her daughter Becky
:16:11. > :16:17.Measures, and with Dawn Anderson and Kelly Young — who all appear in the
:16:17. > :16:23.calendar. Wendy, what made you want to do this? Well, it was Becky's
:16:23. > :16:27.idea as much as anything, but what I really wanted to do was to take away
:16:27. > :16:30.the stigma of having had preventive surgery because people are very
:16:30. > :16:36.young when they have to think about these things. Still with a lot of
:16:36. > :16:39.beautiful life left to live. It is a big fear for people so I wanted it
:16:39. > :16:44.to be something that was empowering and inspiring, so that other people
:16:44. > :16:48.won't so scared of it. How self—conscious did you feel? Not
:16:48. > :16:53.really self conscious that all. I was so proud of the fat that it was
:16:53. > :16:57.coming together and surrounded by all these women that had the same
:16:57. > :17:02.aspiration as I did, and that is, yes we are BRCA carriers and have
:17:02. > :17:07.all had surgery to prevent breast cancer but does it make us any less
:17:07. > :17:11.of a woman? No, it doesn't. Everyone was in the same room with the same
:17:11. > :17:18.kind of ideas and it was amazing to be able to do that. Your enthusiasm
:17:18. > :17:24.is infectious. When I first had my operation, I was only 24 and I came
:17:24. > :17:29.out thinking that I had a great pair of boobs. I need people to be aware
:17:29. > :17:34.that a mastectomy is in the end. You are July, Dawn. The thing I like
:17:34. > :17:39.about the photographs is that they are so tasteful. No body can be
:17:39. > :17:45.offended, which I presume was very important. It was, and I was lucky
:17:45. > :17:49.to be able to choose my pose because earlier in the year I did a marathon
:17:49. > :17:55.to raise money for the helpline and they all commented on my legs, so it
:17:55. > :17:58.was important they were in there. It was an amazing experience. I was
:17:58. > :18:02.scared at the beginning but the day was fantastic and it's been for an
:18:02. > :18:10.amazing course. People don't realise how passionate these two are. Wendy
:18:10. > :18:14.started off the charity but for us who are involved, I don't think she
:18:14. > :18:17.still realises what it means to us because we are a huge family, all
:18:17. > :18:24.now connected just because of Wendy's helpline. Kelly, Angelina
:18:24. > :18:28.Jolie hip the headlines when she had a double mastectomy. Tit you think
:18:28. > :18:35.it is important —— do you think it is important that people go public?
:18:35. > :18:41.I think it is important. It gives everybody concerned permission to
:18:41. > :18:47.pursue their worries and the more high—profile people are, the more it
:18:47. > :18:51.helps ladies in our position. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful, sexy
:18:51. > :18:57.woman and she thinks it's OK to do it, then... And you are all
:18:57. > :19:03.beautiful, sexy women as well. Can I ask you what this is all about
:19:03. > :19:07.again? We're trying to raise money for the hereditary breast cancer
:19:07. > :19:11.helpline, which is the only one I think in the world, but certainly in
:19:11. > :19:14.the country, and it does struggle for funding. We are always promised
:19:14. > :19:19.funding that never happens so we have to raise our own funds and one
:19:19. > :19:23.of the spin offs is that hopefully we will raise enough money to give
:19:23. > :19:28.the 24—hour service running, as I do run it 24 hours a day. It's been
:19:28. > :19:30.lovely to talk to you. Well done to all of you. Hope you sell thousands
:19:30. > :19:45.of them. Go to our website! They Zealand international who signed for
:19:45. > :19:48.the end of Yorkshire's season, will be back with the club next year as
:19:49. > :19:52.their overseas signing. He's part of the team in action in the final
:19:52. > :19:55.County Championship match of 2013, down at the Oval, against Surrey.
:19:55. > :20:01.Yorkshire batted first and reached 316 for six by close of play.
:20:01. > :20:04.Now, the sun may have been shining today but for one Sheffield couple,
:20:04. > :20:08.winter is very much on their minds. The season starts in just a couple
:20:08. > :20:11.of weeks' time for Skeleton bob duo Shelley Rudman and Kristen Bromley.
:20:11. > :20:15.And this year is, of course, an Olympic year. They've had a tough
:20:15. > :20:20.summer in the gym, as Tanya's been finding out.
:20:20. > :20:24.Skeleton bob is a sport that requires speed, agility and
:20:24. > :20:27.strength. Shelley and Kristin has spent the last few months trying to
:20:27. > :20:34.find that little bit extra for Olympic year. To get fitter and
:20:34. > :20:39.faster, stronger and more powerful, just to push that's led a bit
:20:39. > :20:44.faster. Every 10th that we gain here equals three tenths of a second at
:20:44. > :20:50.the bottom. How is your weight? You usually have to put weight on. Yes,
:20:50. > :20:53.the main goal this season was to put weight on and hold it because it
:20:53. > :20:56.usually drops off quite quickly. So far I've put on a stone since
:20:56. > :21:03.fabric, which is quite an improvement. I have to say, looking
:21:03. > :21:07.at you you wonder where you have put on a stone. Brutes! Big thighs and
:21:07. > :21:19.bottom at the moment. I can handle it. —— glutes.
:21:19. > :21:23.the ice in the gym is not the same although we work our bodies in the
:21:23. > :21:30.gym so that's good for the power. Phase. But to get on the ice is
:21:30. > :21:34.really beneficial for us. There is little doubt these to spur each
:21:34. > :21:38.other wrong. We're competitive in the gym, at home, everywhere. Every
:21:38. > :21:43.session is about who can jump higher and who can live more. Obviously,
:21:43. > :21:48.I'm stronger but she still tries to make out that she can match me and
:21:48. > :21:53.she's not far off. Having become world champion last season, Shelley
:21:53. > :21:56.is well set for this one. That was my final one to win the world
:21:56. > :22:00.championship so I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and
:22:00. > :22:05.I can go into this next season quite happy. I love the sport and I love
:22:05. > :22:10.competing in it and it would be amazing to represent my country at a
:22:10. > :22:14.third Olympics. The first job for both is to qualify for the World Cup
:22:14. > :22:18.squads. Success there will get them to the Olympics and hopefully to
:22:18. > :22:22.glory. Now, you may recognise some of the
:22:22. > :22:28.images behind us — they're famous faces from the worlds of music,
:22:28. > :22:31.movies and sport. Each mosaic is made up of thousands of fragments of
:22:31. > :22:34.typical kitchen and bathroom tiles! They've been created by a couple of
:22:34. > :22:37.ceramic artists from West Yorkshire. One of them actually earns his
:22:37. > :22:40.living tiling kitchens and bathrooms. The mosaics have never
:22:40. > :22:43.been seen in public before and next month, they'll go on display at a
:22:43. > :22:51.special exhibition in Liverpool. Phil Bodmer has managed to get an
:22:51. > :22:55.exclusive preview. For the last 40 years, Allen has
:22:55. > :22:59.worked in the building trade as a jobbing Tyler but after a day
:22:59. > :23:05.grappling with grout, he heads for what you might call a night on the
:23:05. > :23:14.tiles — in a tiny garage studio in his back garden. Alan has combined
:23:14. > :23:18.the day job with a passion for art, creating stunning mosaics of his
:23:18. > :23:23.idols from sport, music and film. What I do first is start on the eyes
:23:23. > :23:27.and the nose, then the mouth, and just work out. You can see it coming
:23:27. > :23:33.together magically. His friend and fellow artist Rita began working
:23:33. > :23:38.with him five years ago. They've produced around 30 works together.
:23:38. > :23:41.Each mosaic and take around 100 hours to complete. Everyone who sees
:23:41. > :23:44.them are blown away. They can't believe the images are brought to
:23:44. > :23:49.life with the mosaics will stop it gives them a 3—D effect and it's not
:23:49. > :23:53.like looking at a standard painting or picture. It's so intricate will
:23:53. > :23:57.stop you are drawn to pieces with in the picture and don't look at the
:23:57. > :24:01.overall picture straight. The mosaics are going on display next
:24:01. > :24:05.month in a Liverpool gallery. It's taken Alan for decades to get here
:24:05. > :24:10.after his early artistic dreams were thwarted as a teenager. I showed the
:24:10. > :24:16.tutor the artwork at the art college, who wrote to my mum and dad
:24:16. > :24:22.saying, we think your son has some talent and is a talented artist. I
:24:22. > :24:28.went home and had a word with my dad and he said, " you're getting a job
:24:28. > :24:32.like anyone else. You'll go into the building trade and earn a living" .
:24:32. > :24:37.Despite that early setback, Alan is living proof it's never too late to
:24:37. > :24:40.follow your dreams stop now I realise the most important thing is
:24:40. > :24:43.getting out of bed every morning, going to work and doing a job you
:24:43. > :24:50.love and getting paid enough to pay your bills and help your family. The
:24:50. > :24:55.mosaics go on display in Liverpool at the end of the month. Until then,
:24:55. > :25:02.Alan will be back on the tiles in his day job.
:25:02. > :25:06.A golf tournament in the next few days, isn't there? Yes, and it's
:25:06. > :25:08.looking fantastic. I thought you'd have been asked to do take part in
:25:08. > :25:19.the celebrity competition. Not inspiring weather conditions.
:25:19. > :25:24.That's at Scarborough. It's been beautiful for a good few months but
:25:24. > :25:28.the mist and low cloud rolled in. This picture was yesterday. It came
:25:28. > :25:32.into late but I wanted to give it a plug because it's a fantastic
:25:32. > :25:34.country show, and I believe it's the last of the season. Keep your
:25:34. > :25:46.pictures coming in. The nondescript autumnal weather
:25:46. > :25:50.continues over the next few days. A little ridge of high pressure and a
:25:50. > :25:54.lot of cloud dropped only fit but I have to say, the clouds broke up
:25:54. > :25:58.much more readily across South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire today.
:25:58. > :26:05.Temperatures of 21 Celsius and a beautiful afternoon. But the cloud
:26:05. > :26:09.has already filled in to a certain extent. There is low cloud and mist
:26:09. > :26:13.and fog tonight. The cloud big enough for drizzle in places.
:26:13. > :26:20.Temperatures mild for the time of year. 12 in Northallerton, 14 or 15
:26:20. > :26:29.in Leeds and Sheffield city centre. The sun will rise in the morning at
:26:29. > :26:35.6:57am, setting at 6:58pm. Another great start, especially along the
:26:35. > :26:40.coast, with mist and a bit of drizzle. Elsewhere it may be that
:26:40. > :26:45.the cloud is big enough for light rain. Essentially, a lot of fine
:26:45. > :26:51.weather tomorrow. The cloud will break up to a certain extent. Later
:26:51. > :26:57.a weak front could introduce some drizzle to parts of north and later
:26:57. > :27:00.West Yorkshire. All in all, a lot of fine, quiet weather tomorrow and a
:27:00. > :27:07.breeze in the north—east. Not a terribly good direction for the
:27:07. > :27:15.coast. Inland, close to average temperatures. Not bad with all the
:27:15. > :27:20.cloud around. 64 Fahrenheit in York. A little light rain on Wednesday
:27:20. > :27:23.evening and Wednesday night but then things will clear up so Thursday
:27:23. > :27:28.should be brighter. Mostly dry with some sunshine. We should hang on the
:27:28. > :27:41.fine weather for Friday and for the first half of the weekend.
:27:41. > :27:45.Have you got your order in for the BRCA babes calendar? Yes, of course.
:27:45. > :27:46.That's all from us. We're back at 8pm and 10:25pm. Goodbye.
