:00:00. > :00:07.Welcome to Friday's Look North. Tonight, a random, cruel and
:00:08. > :00:10.motiveless killing. Simon Holdsworth's family appeal for help
:00:11. > :00:21.in finding the person responsible for his murder in Sheffield.
:00:22. > :00:29.Has happened to Simon has devastated our lives. We are all such a close
:00:30. > :00:32.family. This has left a huge hole in all of us. We'll be hearing more
:00:33. > :00:34.from them in a minute. Also tonight.
:00:35. > :00:37.Addicted to painkillers. Why thousands of people in Yorkshire
:00:38. > :00:42.could be hooked on drugs prescribed by their GP.
:00:43. > :00:45.They're not just for laughs, but a serious business. How pantos help
:00:46. > :00:53.swell the coffers of the region's theatres.
:00:54. > :00:57.And, it was a cold and frosty start this morning, this was the scene
:00:58. > :01:01.near Sheffield. We have got some wet and windy weather on the cards this
:01:02. > :01:10.evening. I am back later in the details.
:01:11. > :01:13.Good evening. The mother and partner of
:01:14. > :01:17.36`year`old Simon Holdsworth, murdered as he returned home in
:01:18. > :01:20.Sheffield late on Monday night, have made emotional appeals today for
:01:21. > :01:23.help to solve what's been called a random, cruel and motiveless
:01:24. > :01:27.killing. Christine Holdsworth said Simon had been the loveliest son in
:01:28. > :01:30.the world. His fiancee Carline said all the plans they'd carefully laid
:01:31. > :01:35.for a wonderful wedding and honeymoon next year had been torn
:01:36. > :01:42.from her and her son. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy's report
:01:43. > :01:48.contains some flash photography. He was over the moon to be getting
:01:49. > :01:54.married next year. He loved his fiancee and little son so very much.
:01:55. > :01:58.As much as we all loved him, too. A mother's anguish at the loss of a
:01:59. > :02:07.son. You cannot tell anybody how much this hurts. I never thought I
:02:08. > :02:11.would say this. But Lees, `` please, please try and help. His
:02:12. > :02:20.fiancee says her plans for a happy future can be no more. We were so
:02:21. > :02:24.happy as a family, with our son. It will be his fourth birthday on
:02:25. > :02:31.Christmas Eve. We had already done the Christmas shopping, and his
:02:32. > :02:40.presence are wrapped. But he is dead, he will not be there. A
:02:41. > :02:45.full`scale murder enquiry began on Tuesday, hours after the discovery
:02:46. > :02:50.of Simon's body. Flowers and tributes are still being laid. This
:02:51. > :02:55.has been described as one of the safest areas in Sheffield, yet late
:02:56. > :02:59.on Monday night, on these playing fields, Simon Holdsworth was
:03:00. > :03:05.battered to death for no apparent reason. No weapon has been found,
:03:06. > :03:11.and police are desperate for any help they can get from the
:03:12. > :03:14.community. They have released CCTV footage from Simon as he alighted
:03:15. > :03:18.from his bus home, minutes before his killing. Who were his fellow
:03:19. > :03:24.passengers? Police want to trace them. We are a cute days before
:03:25. > :03:32.Christmas. For the family, their Christmas has been destroyed in an
:03:33. > :03:36.act of horrific violent. I do not hate the person who has done this,
:03:37. > :03:42.because Simon was warmth and love. I just want to know why. I never
:03:43. > :03:48.thought I would know what a broken heart felt like, but I do now. I
:03:49. > :03:55.just want somebody to try and help us, just help in any way they can.
:03:56. > :03:59.His family called him a loving, caring, bubbly man with a smile for
:04:00. > :04:04.everyone. Taken from them at the age of 36.
:04:05. > :04:07.There are warnings that thousands of people in Yorkshire could be
:04:08. > :04:12.addicted to prescription drugs and painkillers. It comes as a committee
:04:13. > :04:15.of MPs has suggested that up to a million and a half people across
:04:16. > :04:19.Britain could be dependent on medication they were originally
:04:20. > :04:21.given by doctors. Latest figures show that Yorkshire and the Humber
:04:22. > :04:23.has the third`highest prescribing rates for opioid painkillers such as
:04:24. > :04:40.codeine or morphine. At my worst, I was on 26 of these a
:04:41. > :04:46.day, and now I am down to the one tablet. Amanda Steel was prescribed
:04:47. > :04:51.morphine for chronic pain in 2009 following breast cancer surgery.
:04:52. > :04:55.Over time, she became addicted. If she missed a dose, the withdrawal
:04:56. > :05:02.would be terrible. I will never forget how horrific it was my
:05:03. > :05:07.profuse sweating, feeling like I was going to pass out, a cloud over my
:05:08. > :05:13.ears, so I could not hear everything, it sounded like I was
:05:14. > :05:17.speaking from a bucket. She has been coming to a specialist clinic at the
:05:18. > :05:22.lead addiction unit, set up last year to deal with patients addicted
:05:23. > :05:25.to prescription medication. Of the patients seen by the clinic in its
:05:26. > :05:32.first year, 72% were addicted to opiate painkiller is a most commonly
:05:33. > :05:36.codeine or tramadol. The other 28% were addicted to sleeping tablets.
:05:37. > :05:42.Of those, nearly a quarter were getting their drugs from the GP. 15%
:05:43. > :05:46.were getting them from an illicit source as well as their doctor.
:05:47. > :05:49.Crucially, there are no detailed figures collected nationally or
:05:50. > :05:54.locally that show the wider scale of the problem. We have seen a key
:05:55. > :05:59.patients at these units, I think it is the tip of the iceberg. There
:06:00. > :06:05.could be thousands of patients who might not even know that they are
:06:06. > :06:10.dependent. You think because you have been prescribed it and you
:06:11. > :06:13.followed all of the instructions that you were supposed to, that
:06:14. > :06:20.addiction should not necessarily happen. But I was on such high doses
:06:21. > :06:25.because my pain call for it, I supposed it was inevitable. She will
:06:26. > :06:28.take her last morphine tablet on Christmas Eve, bringing an end to an
:06:29. > :06:33.addiction spanning five years. But it is feared there are thousands of
:06:34. > :06:39.others who are not getting help. Later on Look North.
:06:40. > :06:42.We take a look in the sewers. The damage done when you pour turkey fat
:06:43. > :06:53.down the plughole. Yorkshire Water fights back.
:06:54. > :06:58.Denis MacShane will have to wait until Monday to hear his sentence.
:06:59. > :07:04.He has already admitted criminal charges of false accounting at an
:07:05. > :07:07.earlier hearing last month. Today, a judge heard arguments from
:07:08. > :07:12.prosecution and defence about the level of sentencing he should
:07:13. > :07:16.receive. The judge said he needed to consider his decision over the
:07:17. > :07:22.weekend, but that the delay gave no indication of the sentence he would
:07:23. > :07:27.eventually hang down. We have been at the Old Bailey. What happened
:07:28. > :07:32.today? It is a year since he resigned from the House of Commons,
:07:33. > :07:36.a month since he admitted to the court charges of false accounting.
:07:37. > :07:41.When he arrived at the Old Bailey, it was effectively for a hearing to
:07:42. > :07:45.decide what sentence she should get, with arguments from prosecution
:07:46. > :07:50.and defence. The prosecution claimed there was a deliberate intent to
:07:51. > :07:57.deceive, because he had written 19 invoices to himself, and he had
:07:58. > :08:01.misspelt his own name and his own address on them so that when he sent
:08:02. > :08:04.them to officials to check at the House of Commons, it would look as
:08:05. > :08:08.though he had not actually written them himself. That is the
:08:09. > :08:15.prosecution, what did the defence have to say? They say he made no
:08:16. > :08:22.personal profit, what happened was that, when this offence took place,
:08:23. > :08:28.he had been travelling through Europe as an unpaid, an adviser to
:08:29. > :08:32.the then Labour government, and he spent the money but he did not have
:08:33. > :08:40.any invoices to be able to claim it back, so what he was doing, he
:08:41. > :08:44.admits it was wrong, but `` but he said it was getting back money that
:08:45. > :08:51.he had spent. We come back here on Monday at 10am, courtroom number
:08:52. > :08:56.nine, the judge said the arguments were so complex that he needed the
:08:57. > :08:59.Kintyre weekend to be able to decide what he was going to do, but he
:09:00. > :09:05.warned Denis MacShane, although he was releasing him on bail, it was
:09:06. > :09:11.absolutely no indication as to exactly what to expect, Monday.
:09:12. > :09:14.In other news, police say they're getting increasingly worried for the
:09:15. > :09:18.safety of a 15`year`old girl who's been missing from Dewsbury for ten
:09:19. > :09:22.days. Levi Margison was last seen in Huddersfield on Wednesday last week.
:09:23. > :09:26.She was wearing an orange hooded top, blue skinny jeans, a grey
:09:27. > :09:31.zip`up hooded top and lilac and white Nike trainers. She's been
:09:32. > :09:40.known to go missing before, but never for so long.
:09:41. > :09:44.I spoke to her mother today, she was concerned to try to get her home for
:09:45. > :09:48.Christmas, there are gifts waiting for her, she has an older sister,
:09:49. > :09:50.they are quite close, and she is missing her desperately.
:09:51. > :09:53.Emergency services were called to Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire today
:09:54. > :09:57.after an explosion in a back garden. Four people have been taken to
:09:58. > :09:59.hospital with minor injuries after a cylinder exploded at a property in
:10:00. > :10:03.Elizabeth Street this afternoon. Fire`fighters gave first aid to the
:10:04. > :10:07.casualties, who were then taken to hospital. North Yorkshire Police
:10:08. > :10:09.have released video footage of a woman who overturned her car near
:10:10. > :10:12.Skipton. They say it's to highlight the
:10:13. > :10:16.dangers of drink driving. Deborah Anderson was more than three times
:10:17. > :10:21.the legal limit when she crashed on the B6265 at Hedden in October.
:10:22. > :10:26.Today, she was sentenced to 250 hours unpaid work and banned from
:10:27. > :10:32.driving for three years. She also received a 12`month supervised
:10:33. > :10:36.community order. A West Yorkshire Police officer who
:10:37. > :10:39.was shot in Leeds earlier this month is said to be making good progress
:10:40. > :10:42.in hospital. PC Suzanne Hudson suffered several shotgun wounds in
:10:43. > :10:47.the incident in the Headingley area of the city. James Leslie, the
:10:48. > :10:50.37`year`old man accused of the attempted murders of PC Hudson and
:10:51. > :10:52.her colleague PC Richard Whiteley, has been told he faces trial in
:10:53. > :11:02.April. A man who handed his friend in to a
:11:03. > :11:05.police station while dressed as Batman has been sentenced today for
:11:06. > :11:09.burglary. Stan Worby made headlines around the world earlier this year
:11:10. > :11:12.when he took his friend to a police station in Bradford. Mr Worby was
:11:13. > :11:16.charged with burglary when police stopped a vehicle containing stolen
:11:17. > :11:19.property. Now, he's been given a 12`month suspended sentence of six
:11:20. > :11:25.months in prison, ordered to complete 200 hours of community
:11:26. > :11:28.service and pay ?80 to the victim. North Yorkshire Police's
:11:29. > :11:31.Commissioner has said she won't be taking legal action against former
:11:32. > :11:34.Chief Constable Grahame Maxwell and his once deputy Adam Briggs to claim
:11:35. > :11:41.back ?100,000 in allowances she says they shouldn't have received. Julia
:11:42. > :11:46.Mulligan said the Police Authority, which she replaced last year, made
:11:47. > :11:49.the payments in good faith. But a report has confirmed the payments
:11:50. > :11:58.were not within the authority's legal powers. The Commissioner said
:11:59. > :12:01.trying to recover the money through the courts would be too costly.
:12:02. > :12:04.Meanwhile, North Yorkshire Police has agreed to buy an 8.4 acre site
:12:05. > :12:08.in South Kilvington, near Thirsk, to build its new headquarters. The
:12:09. > :12:10.existing HQ is a listed building in Newby Wiske, near Northallerton.
:12:11. > :12:13.Police Commissioner Julia Mulligan says it's costly to run, difficult
:12:14. > :12:18.to access and not suited to modern policing. Work is under way on the
:12:19. > :12:21.design of the new building. Former Halifax and Leeds rugby
:12:22. > :12:24.league player Graham Holroyd is to stand trial in March on four rape
:12:25. > :12:29.charges dating back more than 20 years. The 38`year`old from Halifax
:12:30. > :12:33.pleaded not guilty to the charges, which are alleged to have involved a
:12:34. > :12:38.boy and a girl, when he appeared at Bradford Crown Court today. The
:12:39. > :12:41.allegations date back to the late 1980s and early 1990s. He's been
:12:42. > :12:44.granted bail until the trial hearing in March.
:12:45. > :12:48.The Yorkshire Ambulance Service is preparing for one of its busiest
:12:49. > :12:51.nights of the year. The last Friday before Christmas, also known as Mad
:12:52. > :13:00.Friday, usually sees a sharp rise in the number of calls made to the
:13:01. > :13:02.emergency services. On the same night last year, the Yorkshire
:13:03. > :13:16.Ambulance Service received over 260 extra calls. That's 30% more than a
:13:17. > :13:20.typical night. They're urging people to drink
:13:21. > :13:21.responsibly and only call 999 in a serious or life`threatening
:13:22. > :13:24.emergency. Next tonight, Yorkshire Water is
:13:25. > :13:27.using a revolutionary new system to clear blocked sewers. The problem is
:13:28. > :13:30.particularly bad at this time of year, because so much cooking fat is
:13:31. > :13:35.discarded down sewers, where it solidifies. The new device can clear
:13:36. > :13:44.blockages in a fraction of the time taken by conventional methods.
:13:45. > :13:48.As revolutionary inventions go, it looks fairly unremarkable, but this
:13:49. > :13:53.kit can clean three kilometres of blocked sewer with no roadworks and
:13:54. > :14:01.no chemicals. It simply uses the power of air. What is happening is
:14:02. > :14:06.that the air is being spun inside the pipe, and it creates lots of air
:14:07. > :14:11.currents and a vortex, and that scours the inside of the sewer,
:14:12. > :14:16.cleaning it in a very short space of time. There is a sewage pipe running
:14:17. > :14:20.under the treatment works here, that has been blocked for 18 months.
:14:21. > :14:26.Conventional high pressure water jets would take three weeks to clear
:14:27. > :14:28.it. After just two hours, effectively sending a whirlwind down
:14:29. > :14:33.the pipe, this is the result. Mortgage cleared. We have
:14:34. > :14:38.international patents on the technology that we are using, it has
:14:39. > :14:44.never been used outside Yorkshire so far, so this is a first. It seems to
:14:45. > :14:47.be working very well at the moment, we are optimistic. This shows the
:14:48. > :14:52.gunk that can accumulate in Silvers, it is always worse in
:14:53. > :14:59.winter. Yorkshire Water hope blockages like these will be cleared
:15:00. > :15:05.much more easily in future. The water slowly eats away at the
:15:06. > :15:11.crease. It completely cleans the Silver, down to the base metal. The
:15:12. > :15:14.benefit of it, they are more effective, and it will drastically
:15:15. > :15:19.reduce the amount of flooding we have. There are 20,000 miles of
:15:20. > :15:24.Silvers Underground in Yorkshire, plenty to keep the clean a busy. But
:15:25. > :15:30.with no roadworks and it unobtrusive design, you may never know it has
:15:31. > :15:38.been. Underground, it will be as clean as a whistle.
:15:39. > :15:40.From Buckingham Palace to underground! The glamour!
:15:41. > :15:42.Before 7pm. Preparing for their first Yorkshire
:15:43. > :15:45.Christmas, the former Gurkha soldiers who've made their homes in
:15:46. > :15:52.Catterick learn about a traditional Yuletide in Britain.
:15:53. > :15:53.And, oh, no, they don't, oh, yes, they do. Christmas pantos come to
:15:54. > :16:05.the rescue of the region's theatres. Next tonight, the York Army Museum
:16:06. > :16:10.has been given ?1 million of Lottery money so it can undergo a complete
:16:11. > :16:14.redesign. Since it opened 30 years ago, the museum has told the stories
:16:15. > :16:18.of our region's soldiers and the wars they fought in. The lottery
:16:19. > :16:27.cash will help it mark the centenary of the First World War next year.
:16:28. > :16:35.From Victorian heroes to Victoria crosses. The battle of balaclava to
:16:36. > :16:40.the ball more. These York Army Museum documents over 300 years of
:16:41. > :16:42.our region's military history. Many of the artefacts are of
:16:43. > :16:51.international significance. But the museum admits experience feels a bit
:16:52. > :16:57.dated. It is old`fashioned, we have got poor lighting and storage, and
:16:58. > :17:02.none of the articles are particularly accessible. We have got
:17:03. > :17:05.an eclectic collection, but it does not really convey the stories behind
:17:06. > :17:10.them. That is the wonderful thing that the new design will be able to
:17:11. > :17:15.deliver. Funded by ?1 million from the National Lottery Hero, it will
:17:16. > :17:21.bring this historic collection to a modern audience. More open spaces, a
:17:22. > :17:27.focus on education, and a move from forced to the men who fought and
:17:28. > :17:31.died. Trying to uncover the ethos that makes soldiers do things that
:17:32. > :17:35.they do not want to do, the story of the infantry and the story of the
:17:36. > :17:40.cavalry, those events have been mutually supporting, and today, we
:17:41. > :17:44.can make them mutually supporting within the collection and tell that
:17:45. > :17:50.story. The timing of this is no accident, next year is the centenary
:17:51. > :17:56.of the Great War. Something not just to remember, but to learn from. It
:17:57. > :18:00.is important that our folk understand how we got to where we
:18:01. > :18:05.are, and the telling of the story allows us to educate another
:18:06. > :18:10.generation and future generations of people in that history. The museum
:18:11. > :18:14.says their focus will now be on bringing that history to a new
:18:15. > :18:22.audience. All in time for the centenary of the war they once said
:18:23. > :18:24.would end all wars. We will keep you posted as to how
:18:25. > :18:28.that develops. Let's have a look at some football
:18:29. > :18:32.now, and Danny Wilson takes charge of Barnsley for the first time since
:18:33. > :18:35.his return to the club, and it's a nice, juicy derby with Leeds United.
:18:36. > :18:40.Wilson rejoined as manager on Tuesday, nearly 20 years after
:18:41. > :18:44.taking on the job last time around. His job is to keep them in the
:18:45. > :18:51.Championship, and he can't wait for tomorrow.
:18:52. > :18:55.It could not be better, a derby game, anything can happen, as we
:18:56. > :19:01.know. To go there in front of 30,000 plus, taking a lot of our fans down,
:19:02. > :19:07.they will be well heard, it promises to be a cracking game. I know him
:19:08. > :19:11.really well, he is a friend, he went there before, he did a really good
:19:12. > :19:14.job, I am sure he will do well. Yorkshire's Joe Root says the
:19:15. > :19:17.England team still has plenty to play for despite losing the Ashes
:19:18. > :19:21.down under. Root and a couple of team`mates were enjoying a day off
:19:22. > :19:24.from cricket as they took to the racetrack. But they'll be ready for
:19:25. > :19:31.action when the fourth Test starts in Melbourne on Boxing Day.
:19:32. > :19:36.You have got to front up, we have been beaten like a side that has
:19:37. > :19:40.played better, and we have got to put that right in these last two
:19:41. > :19:44.test matches. We can do that on Boxing Day, we have got to come out
:19:45. > :19:48.fighting and make a statement. I would have thought that Jonny
:19:49. > :19:51.Bairstow deserves a go, Matt Prior has not been playing well.
:19:52. > :19:54.And, one other piece of cricket news. Yorkshire's second`team coach,
:19:55. > :19:57.Paul Farbrace, has left to become the head coach of Sri Lanka. The
:19:58. > :20:04.club paid tribute to the huge impact he's made in his two years with
:20:05. > :20:06.them. He is a great coach, Sri Lanka have
:20:07. > :20:10.a gem. They've gained a reputation as brave
:20:11. > :20:13.and fearless soldiers, but now the former Gurkhas who've made their
:20:14. > :20:16.homes in Catterick have been showing their softer side. The men and their
:20:17. > :20:19.families are part of a growing Nepalese community in North
:20:20. > :20:26.Yorkshire, and this year many are looking forward to their first
:20:27. > :20:32.traditional Christmas. A big one for the top, little ones
:20:33. > :20:35.to go around. New beginnings, and for many, a new experience of
:20:36. > :20:40.Christmas. The army town of Catterick is now home to one of
:20:41. > :20:43.Britain's biggest Nepalese communities, many of them former
:20:44. > :20:47.Gurkha soldiers who, through community projects this year, have
:20:48. > :20:52.had their first real taste of a traditional British Christmas.
:20:53. > :20:57.Christmas is not celebrated in Nepal in a big way, so it is different,
:20:58. > :21:01.but it is important because they are becoming part of the community and
:21:02. > :21:04.most of the people here have children and grandchildren, so they
:21:05. > :21:15.are learning all of this. Myself and my family, Christmas and New Year,
:21:16. > :21:19.we like it. Very happy. It was 2009 when Gurkhas got the right to live
:21:20. > :21:23.in Britain, following a high`profile campaign by the actress Joanna
:21:24. > :21:29.Lumley. Since then, thousands, like Sandip Wright, have chosen to stay.
:21:30. > :21:34.Attracted to Catterick and its connections to the Army. People feel
:21:35. > :21:39.like, this is our home, this is where we belong. It might be
:21:40. > :21:45.difficult for some of us to adapt to the culture, though. This is their
:21:46. > :21:51.home, they visit Nepal on holiday, and if England is their home, they
:21:52. > :21:55.ought to know about Christmas. They have served the British army for 200
:21:56. > :22:01.years, with a loyal and fearless reputation. Today, though, a gentler
:22:02. > :22:09.side was seen, learning their first Christmas song and opening their
:22:10. > :22:13.first Christmas stocking. Good old Yorkshire Christmas!
:22:14. > :22:16.If you're off to the theatre over the festive season, you might be
:22:17. > :22:18.surprised to hear just how much Yorkshire relies on the traditional
:22:19. > :22:21.Christmas pantomime. The region's panto industry actually generates
:22:22. > :22:23.between a quarter and half of all the money made by Yorkshire's
:22:24. > :22:41.theatres and touring companies. The giant! For many people, it would
:22:42. > :22:47.not be Christmas without a trip to the pantomime. Here in Wakefield,
:22:48. > :22:51.over a quarter of their annual audience will pack into the stalls
:22:52. > :22:55.over a five`week period. These productions are big business, and
:22:56. > :23:00.the right choice is imperative. Firstly, for many people, it is
:23:01. > :23:05.their first visit to the theatre, and secondly, it is a time of year
:23:06. > :23:11.when we can make as much money as we can to support the costs of the
:23:12. > :23:15.theatre. In years gone by, the cost was offset by funding from the
:23:16. > :23:19.public sector, but austerity has cast a cloud and Christmas has
:23:20. > :23:24.become more important than ever. A lot of theatres which are supported
:23:25. > :23:28.by ourselves and the local authorities are having that
:23:29. > :23:33.investment, it becomes even more critical, and places become even
:23:34. > :23:38.more sensitive to having a poor Christmas. Thankfully, actually,
:23:39. > :23:46.sales are doing really well this Christmas. It is not just the big
:23:47. > :23:50.show stoppers fighting for audiences. In Chesterfield, this
:23:51. > :23:56.company has an all teary emotive, focusing on preschoolers. It is
:23:57. > :24:01.important that coming to the theatre is part of the Christmas tradition,
:24:02. > :24:06.families bring their children. That is our next generation of audiences.
:24:07. > :24:13.It is lovely to see Father Christmas. Coming down the chute. I
:24:14. > :24:18.like the present. A new generation one over, box office revenue for the
:24:19. > :24:25.future. I love a good panto, I have seen one
:24:26. > :24:29.of them in York. I'd urge everybody to support their local pantomime,
:24:30. > :24:30.the best time of the year. Oh, no, you don't!
:24:31. > :24:44.Oh, yes, I do! Some photographs. It is quite a
:24:45. > :24:49.stormy forecast, right the way through Christmas week. This is a
:24:50. > :24:56.nice photo from yesterday. The blue skies over Knaresborough. The second
:24:57. > :25:02.one, the sun set over Bolton Abbey. The third one, a wintry scene near
:25:03. > :25:08.Sheffield. Is that a light snow covering? All is it a heavy
:25:09. > :25:18.hoarfrost? You can keep your pictures coming in. Or you can tweet
:25:19. > :25:22.me. We have got some unsettled weather like the way through next
:25:23. > :25:26.week, but starting with this evening, wet and windy weather on
:25:27. > :25:30.the cards. It will not be raining all day, but the showers tomorrow
:25:31. > :25:35.could be really happy. Hale and Thunder mixed in. This will push
:25:36. > :25:40.through tonight. Behind it, very breezy conditions. Across the
:25:41. > :25:45.weekend and into next week, very blustery indeed. A warning for
:25:46. > :25:52.Western Hills as we go through the next few hours, a lot of rain. You
:25:53. > :25:57.can see how the mass of cloud has pushed in from the north`west. After
:25:58. > :26:01.pretty decent day, the cloud has the conduct, and we have outbreaks of
:26:02. > :26:06.rain pushing south`east. If anything, it might wake up as it
:26:07. > :26:12.pushes further east, but it could be accompanied by a gusty wind. By the
:26:13. > :26:17.end of the night, the rain will have cleared away south eastwards, and it
:26:18. > :26:21.will not be as cold and frosty as it was last night. The sun will rise at
:26:22. > :26:35.8:22am. Tomorrow, it will be a breezy,
:26:36. > :26:39.blustery day again. It will not be raining all day long, but as well as
:26:40. > :26:42.having dry and bright weather, we have little bands of showers pushing
:26:43. > :26:48.through on and off. They will be very heavy in nature, squalling wind
:26:49. > :26:50.around, Hale, thunder, and in nature, squalling wind around, Hale,
:26:51. > :26:54.Thunder, and indeed very heavy downpours, it might mean a little
:26:55. > :27:04.bit of the white stuff. A bit unsettled. In the heavy showers, it
:27:05. > :27:09.will track the temperature down, it will feel quite chilly and breezy.
:27:10. > :27:14.Through Sunday and into the beginning of next week, on Sunday,
:27:15. > :27:19.fewer showers, we still have the theme of breezy conditions, and
:27:20. > :27:23.there will be a queue showers in the West, but overall, a dry picture.
:27:24. > :27:28.Christmas Eve looks like a filthy day. Wet and windy weather sweeping
:27:29. > :27:34.in from the West, hopefully it will brighten up for Christmas Day.
:27:35. > :27:43.That is as far as we go. We are back with our late news after the 10pm
:27:44. > :27:44.News, at 10:25pm. We are back on Monday. Have a lovely weekend,
:27:45. > :27:48.goodbye.
