Welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight — wind warnings ignored. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Problems with Bridgewater Place, Leeds' tallest building, were raised | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
ten times before a man died there. We'll be there live tonight with the | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
latest. Also, wedding day plans in tatters — | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
brides—to—be out of pocket as the company paid to decorate their | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
wedding venue lets them down. It's not so much about the money any more | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
because all my family have said to me that I have not lost thousands, | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
it is the pure simple fact of what they have done to all these brides. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Worthy of a statue — why campaigners want Knaresborough's Mother Shipton | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
frozen in time herself. And don't forget to join me for the | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
details five day weather forecast in 20 minutes. —— the detailed five—day | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
weather forecast. Good evening. Tonight — a | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
found that problems with high winds at Yorkshire's tallest building were | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
raised ten times with council officers before a man was killed | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
there. Even the Council's current Chief Executive warned someone might | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
die there before he took up his position. Dr Edward Slaney was | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
crushed by a lorry, picked up by wind near Bridgewater Place in | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Leeds, in March 2011. The Council says it took notice of the warnings, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
putting in barriers and a guardrail. It says that the building is the | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
responsibility of its owners. Well Charlotte Leeming is there for us | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
now. Charlotte? Good evening. Which was a place was | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
opened in 2007 amid a fanfare. At 32 stories high, this is Yorkshire's | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
tallest building. But it is that height and its position which has | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
started to cause problems. The wind tunnel effect at the base of its | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
structure. Today, documents that have been obtained by BBC radio | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Leeds has shown that lead city council had quite a number of times | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
when they were warned that this place could be dangerous. In March | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
2011, Dr Edward Slaney was crushed by a lorry. The vehicle had been | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
lifted off the ground by gale force winds. But before his death, there | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
were other incidents connected to the strong winds at Bridgewater | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Place. In 2007, a baby was blown over in its buggy. In 2008. | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
Indigestion suffered a torn live after being blown into a wall. —— a | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
pedestrian suffered. And it will was blown across a junction and suffered | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
facial injuries. In a report seen by the BBC, the council was warned ten | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
times about problems at the side, some of them ten years before Dr | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
Slaney died. A council walked —— a council worker warns about | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
unprecedented winds whipped up by the building. Another said that if | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
something was not done, they would experience a situation where there | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
was a further serious injury and possibly a fatality. The solicitor | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
representing the family at Dr Slaney's death —— the inquest into | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
Dr Slaney's death. All we need is to look into this properly. The | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
question they have to ask is why did me not do it over the preceding —— | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
why did they not do anything about it over the preceding years. The | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
council said that no one could have predicted a seven and a half tonne | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
lorry being swept into the road and that the responsibility for | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Bridgewater Place lies with its owners. Those owners are not | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
available to talk to us today. Leeds council says it is working with the | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
firm to find a solution to the problem. It says that earlier this | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
year, plans were approved for engineering work | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
start this wind tunnel effect. On a night like this, you can really feel | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
it. Hopefully, that work. A tragedy like this ever happening again. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Also tonight — two women from Rotherham say they feel cheated by | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
the company they paid to decorate their wedding venues. Brides—to—be | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Louise Stuart and Marie Hirst paid up front but now want their money | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
back. In Marie's case, the company pulled out just two weeks ahead of | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
her big day. The two joined an online campaign and have since | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
discovered they are among hundreds of people across the country | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
campaigning for refunds. The company, called A Little Bit of | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Bling is based in Dudley, in the West Midlands. Tom Ingall takes up | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
the story. From the first save the date card, | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
to the last drop of confetti. Weddings take a lot of paperwork. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
But Louise Stuart and her fiance, Mick, did not expect they would end | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
up with page after page of correspondence with the company they | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
had paid £300 to decorate their venue. We booked it, my | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
mother—in—law booked it, and paid in full by bank transfer. She told us | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
that the only way be paid well by bank transfer or by postal order. | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
Louise wants her money from A Little Bit of Bling. They are based in | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
Dublin. She is not alone. A group on Facebook has members from across the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
country. But closer to home is Marie Hirst. She got married in early | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
September, two weeks before the day, she was told by A Little Bit of | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Bling that she could have her money back. Since then, she has heard | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
nothing. Heartbroken. The run up to my wedding was ruined. And still | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
now, it is prolonging it. I have had no apology, no communication. The | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
BBC team in the West Midlands called at the company's address, looking | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
for Sarah call form, apparently its owner. Someone had left —— left a | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
note in the window saying they did not want to be disturbed. A man came | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
to the door saying that Sarah was out. In a statement, a councillor | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
from Dudley told us that they have received 14 complaints from the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
company that about the company relating to customers who did not | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
receive the services they have paid for. Officers had worked closely | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
with the company to get refunds. Anyone with concerns should contact | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Dudley trading standards. For Louise, a wedding might be months | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
away, but the preparations have been spoiled. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Later on Look North, Where's my daughter? The mother whose child was | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
abducted in Egypt by the girl's father determined to get her back. | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
The jury in the case of the Bradford mother accused of starving her son | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
to death, have been told to harden their hearts and look at the facts | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
calmly and coolly. Amanda Hutton kept four—year—old Hamzah Khan's | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
body lying in his cot for nearly two years before it was discovered. Miss | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Hutton denies his manslaughter by gross negligence. The prosecution | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
claim drink was more important to her than her child. Ed Thomas has | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
been listening to the final day's hearing at Bradford Crown Court | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
today. How did the prosecution sum up their case against Amanda Hutton? | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
The prosecutor began by asking jurors a question. He said, how can | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
a child starve to death in 21st—century England? The answer, he | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
said, was down to Amanda Hutton. One witness said that she drank more | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
vodka than water. He went on to say that this woman was more concerned | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
with her drinking habits than feeding her own son. In short, she | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
starved Hamzah Khan to death. What is being said in her defence? We | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
heard from her defence barrister. He told jurors that not even the | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
medical experts could decide how Hamzah Khan died. He went on to say | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
that in 2009, in the months before the child lost his life, a domestic | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
violence worker, family friends and police all visited the child's | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
home. They all thought everything seemed fine. He went on to say that | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
it was entirely possible that Hamzah Khan died from another cause. He | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
even suggested that the child could have been smothered. What did the | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
judge told the jury? The judge was very direct. He turned to the jury | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
and said, this is not a trial by medical evidence and experts. He | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
said this is a trial that the —— that the jury will have to decide | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
on. They will have to decide because of Hamzah Khan's death. Was it | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
neglects? Was he started to death and malnourished by Amanda Hutton? | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
She denies manslaughter. The summing up will continue tomorrow morning. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
The family of a North Yorkshire woman shot dead in Turkey have said | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
she was the "victim of deceit" — murdered for attempting to expose | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
the truth about her killer. It comes ahead of the funeral of Anne Bury | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
from Swainby, which takes place this weekend. Her gardener's currently | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
awaiting trial for her murder and for the shooting of her son and her | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
mother. Anne Bury was in her Turkish holiday | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
home when she was killed. A son shot in the leg, her mother in the back. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
That much has always been known. Other details contested and | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
confused. Today, for the first time, her family has shared their | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
version of events. They say that there was one gun, one killer and | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
three victims. The murderer stole into the family Villa in the middle | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
of the night while they slept. He shot and killed defenceless and in | :10:03. | :10:16. | |
cold blood and left her 86—year—old mother and 23—year—old sum for dead. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Nothing can justify such evil actions. Those actions are claims to | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
be the responsibility of this man, her former gardener, Velli Acar. He | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
is currently awaiting trial for murder. It was suggested that the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
pair were in a long—term relationship. Her brother described | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
that claim as that claim as a deceit to undermine | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
her character. He insisted that and had discovered that she was the | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
victim of theft and fraud and it was this —— it was exposing this to the | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
police that had cost her her life. Her funeral will take place at | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Middlesbrough Cathedral last not —— next week. It is here that she lived | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
her life. The family say that the mental trauma of that date will | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
really last. And the loss of somebody that they say was caring | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
and passionate and considerate and trusting. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
In other news around Yorkshire, a 25—year—old man has appeared in | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
court over two serious sex attacks in Rotherham. Nicholas Totty of | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Newman Road was charged with four counts of rape and other offences. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
He's accused of attacking a 27—year—old woman on Moorgate Road | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
on Friday night. A couple of hours later, two women were seriously | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
assaulted during a break—in a few streets away. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
In the last year, Yorkshire Water has seen a 26% increase in written | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
complaints about its services, according to the Consumer Council | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
for Water. The council looked at complaints received by letter, fax | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
and email — but not those made by phone. Yorkshire Water was one of | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
only three water companies nationally to see an increase in | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
complaints. They say extreme weather has led to an increase in sewer | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
flooding incidents and that millions are being invested in improving its | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
service. A prisoner's been given a second | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
life sentence for attacking a child killer in Wakefield Jail. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Ferreira cut Mark Bridger — the killer of schoolgirl April Jones — | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
across the face with a makeshift knife. He told Leeds Crown Court he | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
wanted to make Bridger reveal where he'd hidden April's body. Ferreira, | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
himself a convicted murderer and rapist, will not be eligible for | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
parole before 2036. A woman from Leeds whose daughter | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
was abducted in Egypt by the girl's father says she's determined to get | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
her back. Naomi Button hasn't seen or heard from six—year—old Elsa for | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
nearly two years. The father — Tamer Salama — has been jailed for a | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
second time for contempt of court for consistently refusing to arrange | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
for the girl to be returned to the UK. | :12:46. | :12:57. | |
Photographs and memories are all Naomi bus and hazards to remind her | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
of the happy times with her daughter. —— Naomi Button. She has | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
not seen Elsa since 2011. There are no words to describe it. It is every | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
moment of every day. I'm constantly reminded that my joy is not here. It | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
is a very empty feeling. During a family holiday, her family, Tamer | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
Salama, decided that Elsa should stay in Egypt's. The girl was taken | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
from a mother and has not been seen since. Legal proceedings have | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
followed and he was jailed because he would not arrange for Elsa to be | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
brought into Yorkshire. Because of his persistence, he has been jailed | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
again. Every day he is in prison is another day that I'm not seeing my | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
daughter. It gives me no sense of satisfaction but it gives me relief. | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
A judge has described Tamer Salama as shifty and dishonest and Naomi | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
thinks that he has told his family to keep Elsa hidden. She has no idea | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
where years. I can't change what he has done and I can't influence him | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
to do the right thing and to change this. I have tried that. What I have | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
to do is what —— is focus on what I can do. Naomi is planning to go back | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
to Egypt and says it is a race against time. While her ex—husband | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
is in prison, he cannot interfere with her efforts to find a daughter. | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
There is no way to sum up in words how it would feel, how it will feel | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
to put my arms around my daughter. To tell her that I love her. That is | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
the moment that I think of frequently through the day. I long | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
for that moment and I truly believe it will happen. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Before seven o'clock, from singer to scriptwriter. Alice Nutter swaps | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Chumbawamba fame for a more behind—the—scenes career. | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
And the campaign to get a statue to Mother Shipton put up in her home | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
town of Knaresborough. Football now, and all of our five | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Championship teams were on the field last night. But only one — Leeds | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
United — produced a victory for us. Even they made hard work of it! | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Here's Paul Ogden to round up the action. | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
After watching their team lose their last four matches, Leeds United fans | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
no doubt winced at this early missed penalty. But into the second half | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
against Bournemouth, the mood was changed around Elland Road. | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
Bournemouth fought back to equalise until, with ten minutes left, the | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
lead substitute fired home to secure a two to one victory. After ten | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
matches played it, we can now allow ourselves a realistic assessment of | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
the table. Huddersfield town also have 14 points. They could not quite | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
hold onto their lead at last night. It is James Vaughan's ninth | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
championship goal of the campaign. A corner was pounced on by Gibson and | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
finished one all. Barnsley remain bottom of the championship although | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
they filed —— they fought hard for their draw. It is only their fifth | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
point of the season. Sheffield Wednesday should really have come | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
back from Brighton with a victory. They took the lead but Brighton | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
equalised in the final minute and finished one all as well. Doncaster | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
Rovers tackled in form Burnley as best they could, but even this —— | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
but this time, they lost two to zero. | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
The chairman of Leeds United has been visiting a school in the city | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
today to help launch a new initiative for primary school | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
children. It's called Take It To The Kids and will offer children in 230 | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
primary schools a course which will involve exercise and healthy | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
lifestyle education. Today executives from the club were at | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Kirkstall St Stephens Primary. The chairman says this scheme is another | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
step in reconnecting the football club with local communities and | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
encourage younger fans. We cannot have this generation gap existing. | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
Today, we have that. We really need to bring back the young people of | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
the city to loving leads and integrating with Leeds. This is one | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
of the appreciate —— one of the approaches. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Leeds Rhinos have made their first signing for next season with the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
capture of winger Tom Briscoe from Hull FC. The 23—year—old has signed | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
a five—year deal and says he turned down interest from the NRL to join | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
the Rhinos. Yesterday he was named in the England squad for this | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
autumn's World Cup. Well done. Good luck. | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
She was a member of the anarchist music group Chumbawamba — who gained | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
notoriety when one of the members threw a jug of water over the then | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott at the Brits. Who doesn't remember | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
that? I remember it clearly! When the group disbanded, Alice Nutter | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
turned her talents to scriptwriting. She's done theatre, radio and TV. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
And currently has a new play on the West Yorkshire Playhouse in leeds. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Called My Generation it follows a Leeds family through the 70s and 80s | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
looking at impact of miners' strike, the Ripper, and the recession. We'll | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
be talking to her about that in a moment, first let's take you back to | :18:41. | :18:52. | |
her musical heyday. # Danny boy, Danny boy, I get | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
knocked down, but I get up again, you're never going to keep me down, | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
I get knocked down, but I get up again... # she said during that, I | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
still like this song. Back then, Chumbawumba had a bit of | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
an attitude towards authority. Is this something that we see in your | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
writing? Yes, I think I have an attitude towards certain types of | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
authority and I will do until I pop my clogs. Have I taken it on my | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
writing? I don't really write polemic. What I try and write about | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
is people's lives. And sometimes, authority gets in the way and makes | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
people's lives difficult. Where did you interested in social history and | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
politics stem from? Because there is a heavy political influence on | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
you do. There is. Partly because I'm working class and from Burnley and | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
you can't really escape your background in some ways. But I am | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
not interested in hitting people over the head with politics. What I | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
try to do is write stories about people's lives. Certainly doing the | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
miners strike, you are supportive. Yeah, we were. We were involved in a | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
support group. We kept the soup kitchen going. And looking back, I | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
think it was really important that we were involved. I just wish we had | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
one. —— I just wish we had won. You used to live in a squat, you have | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
drawn on those experiences and tell us how that is your writing. I lived | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
in a commune. It was about sharing everything including money. Money | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
was not the big problem. In this place, it is not my life story, but | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
I've written about a family. We can see pictures of the play in | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
rehearsal. This is local, isn't it? I set it in Chapeltown and its fans | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
four decades. They are rehearsing just across the road from me. This | :21:26. | :21:37. | |
is which is booted in Leeds culture? Yes, I wanted to say that historic | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
things don't just happen in London, they happen in people's lives and | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
they happen up north. The world premiere of your play is on this | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
weekend. The North Yorkshire town of | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
Knaresborough is hoping to get a new statue of one of its most famous | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
historic figures — Mother Shipton. Born in a cave more than five | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
hundred years ago Mother Shipton became famous for her prophecies. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Her cave and petrifying well have been attracting visitors for | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
centuries. Now campaigners in the town are trying to raise funds for a | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
statue of her. Phil Chapman has the story. | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
Carriages without horses shall go and accidents fill the world with | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
world. With Halloween around the corner, there are few places more | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
spooky and mysterious to visit them Mother Shipton's K. Local historians | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
want to bring her out of the shadows and put her next to a road builder | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
called blind Jack, Jack Metcalf who has been immortalised in the town | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
centre. Jack is getting a little bit lonely and it would be nice to have | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Mother Shipton's seated statue to keep him company. Born in the late | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
15th century, Mother Shipton was a prophetess who are said to have | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
predicted many historic events, that the great Fire of London, the | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
invention of iron ships and the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Until | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
in the cave itself. But mysterious forces want to see a more prominent | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
and permanent one in the centre of town. I was asked to do is culture | :23:13. | :23:27. | |
of Mother Shipton Muller said I was a sculptor. I don't have the | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
opportunity. It is important to make a real sculptor —— a real sculpture | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
of a real woman, rather than as a witch. And we can predict that all | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
being well, her statue should be unveiled early next year. | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
But unlike Mother Shipton, I know somebody you can't predict the | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
weather. I hope I am all accurate than she | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
is, because the world was about and 50 years ago! | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
Let show you a couple of pictures. I have chosen these from yesterday | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
because it has been very gloomy today, not much sunshine at all. | :24:09. | :24:20. | |
Keep the pictures coming in. The headline for the next 24 hours. So | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
—— still unsettled. Heavy rain is expected late tomorrow afternoon. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Courtesy of this very active weather system. But the great news is that | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
after the Shari Friday, the dashed after a showery Friday, the weekend | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
is looking fine. It may well last the whole of next week as well and | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
become quite warm. Right now, it is dull, grey and damp. There is hill | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
fog. That cloud will thicken from time to time to produce rain and | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
drizzle. If you pulses further ease. Quite a miserable night in | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
western areas. —— a few pulses further east. The sun will rise at | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
these times. These are your high water times. A slow start, still | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
patchy rain in some areas in the West. That will clear off northwards | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
and it will brighten up particularly in the East. The Pennines will keep | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
a lot of clout in general. Late in the afternoon, that rainbow spread | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
in more likely into the evening by the time the rain that gets into | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
central and eastern areas. It could be pretty heavy so make a note of | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
that. Late tomorrow, into tomorrow evening. The brighter spots, pretty | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
good for early October. Highs of 18 or 19 Celsius before the rain moves | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
in. Quite windy across —— along the coast. A transition date on Friday. | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
—— a transition date on Friday. A ridge of high pressure takes over at | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
the weekend. Much of next week is looking warm for | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
generally drive. Willoughby in Indian summer? | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
Possibly, in October, it is an Indian summer. The GATT, Mother | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
Shipton! That as far as we go. We will be | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
back later | :26:31. | :26:31. |
