:00:00. > :00:00.into Friday morning and enhance the risk of flooding. That is all

:00:00. > :00:09.Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the programme tonight:

:00:10. > :00:17.A Look North investigation finds a landmark Yorkshire building left to

:00:18. > :00:23.rot. Them is the list, I will put a torch

:00:24. > :00:26.on. A functioning lift, the only way to get to it is down a very dark

:00:27. > :00:29.corridor. People say it's become a safety

:00:30. > :00:32.risk. Also tonight: Out training with Team

:00:33. > :00:35.Sky, but is Sir Bradley Wiggins going to ride the tour in Yorkshire?

:00:36. > :00:44.And, one of music's biggest voices prepares for a sell`out gig in

:00:45. > :00:51.Leeds. I am John Newman and I am back in Leeds for one night only.

:00:52. > :00:56.What a lovely day it turned out to be. Tomorrow does look much more

:00:57. > :01:01.unsettled. Join me for a detailed forecasts.

:01:02. > :01:06.Good evening, and welcome to the programme.

:01:07. > :01:09.It was a flagship project that was designed to underpin Bradford's

:01:10. > :01:12.regeneration. But, eight years later, and the ?22 million apartment

:01:13. > :01:17.block called the Gatehaus is quite literally being left to rot. The

:01:18. > :01:21.people who own the properties say the place is in such a state of

:01:22. > :01:24.disrepair it's a health and safety risk, and they're losing money

:01:25. > :01:31.because no`one wants to live there. Spencer Stokes has our top story.

:01:32. > :01:37.It was meant to be the residential development that would relaunch

:01:38. > :01:44.urban living in Bradford. Instead, it has become a symbol of urban

:01:45. > :01:48.decay. Gatehaus opened eight years ago. The flats have been sold to

:01:49. > :01:55.landlords who are angry that the public areas of the building which

:01:56. > :01:58.are the responsibility are falling into disrepair.

:01:59. > :02:02.This is a strange access corridor because there is no lighting. People

:02:03. > :02:07.have been coming in and out this morning. Here is the list, I will

:02:08. > :02:13.put a torch on. If such name list, the only way to it is down a very

:02:14. > :02:17.dark corridor. Later, a tenant arrived, heading for his flat.

:02:18. > :02:22.Do you feel safe using this corridor? The grand for, no,

:02:23. > :02:30.especially at night when I go to work. I am the least scared,

:02:31. > :02:33.thinking someone is waiting to attack. Especially for women cannot

:02:34. > :02:38.use this. The owners of the apartments have to pay up to ?3000 a

:02:39. > :02:44.year in maintenance and car parking but they say that money isn't being

:02:45. > :02:49.reinvested and new tenants are being put off renting.

:02:50. > :02:55.What was built as a landmark building for Bradford, the feeling

:02:56. > :03:05.we have now is of frustration that such a nice building hasn't served

:03:06. > :03:11.its purpose. Gatehaus is managed by Braemar Estates. The representative

:03:12. > :03:12.arrived while we were filming but he would not interview. He gave a

:03:13. > :03:30.statement saying: Work that has taken place seems to

:03:31. > :03:34.have been damaging, like the boarding up of a fire exit.

:03:35. > :03:41.The Fire Service have carried out checks and issued a warning notice.

:03:42. > :03:47.I feel like I have been robbed. It is a lot of money. Thousands pass

:03:48. > :03:52.Gatehaus everyday but few would guess what the interior looks like.

:03:53. > :03:55.The ?22 million development that hides dilapidation and decay behind

:03:56. > :04:03.its bold design. Next tonight: The brother of a

:04:04. > :04:06.pensioner who died just days after she was robbed on her mobility

:04:07. > :04:08.scooter, has branded the thief "a scumbag".

:04:09. > :04:11.Pamela Roddis, from Sheffield, was visiting Bridlington on a holiday

:04:12. > :04:17.when her bag was snatched by a cyclist. She died a few days later

:04:18. > :04:19.of a brain haemorrhage. Police are now appealing for witnesses.

:04:20. > :04:26.Charlotte Leeming has been to meet her family.

:04:27. > :04:31.Captured on CCTV, a male cyclist in the moments he is believed to have

:04:32. > :04:38.robbed pensioner Pamela Roddis. She was on the promenade in her mobility

:04:39. > :04:41.scooter. Four days later, she died. The 73`year`old loved her holidays

:04:42. > :04:47.in Bridlington. For the past ten years, she went there every month.

:04:48. > :04:51.After the attack, she went straight home to Sheffield. Her brother says

:04:52. > :04:55.she then became seriously ill and died from a brain haemorrhage in

:04:56. > :05:02.hospital. She had her bag stolen. She was on a

:05:03. > :05:07.mobility scooter. She was elderly. An invalid. People don't steal from

:05:08. > :05:13.invalids and elderly people. That, to me, the lad is a scumbag. That

:05:14. > :05:18.just should not happen. It ruined the last few days of her life.

:05:19. > :05:23.Bridlington prides itself on being a traditional resort with a safe and

:05:24. > :05:28.peaceful reputation. Although police see this as an isolated incident,

:05:29. > :05:37.they are determined to find the man responsible. Bridlington is a family

:05:38. > :05:40.friendly tourist location. This is an isolated incident, and we have to

:05:41. > :05:44.work with the community to catch the culprit. Whilst there is no evidence

:05:45. > :05:48.of the crime to her death, the family believed the stress of the

:05:49. > :05:54.best contributed to the rapid deterioration of her health. I want

:05:55. > :06:00.him found, prosecuted for the offence, and I want him to know what

:06:01. > :06:04.the effect it has had on my sister. Not that he necessarily caused the

:06:05. > :06:09.death but it spoiled and ruined the last few days of her life. Until the

:06:10. > :06:11.suspect is found, the family say they cannot begin to grieve properly

:06:12. > :06:20.for their loss. Later on Look North: A family's

:06:21. > :06:23.anguish. What the suspension of children's

:06:24. > :06:25.heart surgery in Yorkshire meant for baby Julia.

:06:26. > :06:30.Next tonight: Another development in the battle for control of Leeds

:06:31. > :06:33.United. The Financial Times is reporting

:06:34. > :06:35.that the company which sponsors the team's shirts, Enterprise Insurance,

:06:36. > :06:41.has issued a winding`up petition against the club. It's over an

:06:42. > :06:44.allegedly unpaid debt. The move is being seen by some as a tactic to

:06:45. > :06:47.prevent the club's sale to Massimo Cellino, an Italian businessman who

:06:48. > :06:54.secured an agreement to takeover Leeds on Friday. Tanya's at Elland

:06:55. > :07:06.Road. A winding`up petition sounds extremely serious?

:07:07. > :07:10.It could be if taken to the extreme. It is a tactical move by Andrew

:07:11. > :07:22.Flowers who runs Enterprise Insurance, the shirt sponsors. It

:07:23. > :07:27.was filed last week. This is a shot across the bowels. It is a debt that

:07:28. > :07:31.needs to be paid. A debt I would imagine will be paid off before it

:07:32. > :07:35.gets to the High Court in March if he does not become the of Leeds

:07:36. > :07:39.United. I would love a chat with Massimo

:07:40. > :07:45.Cellino. Have we heard anything from him?

:07:46. > :07:50.He is not a happy man, quite angry at the way things have played out

:07:51. > :07:52.since Friday. About the deal itself, he says, the money was paid on

:07:53. > :08:08.Friday. He talked about his relationship

:08:09. > :08:22.with the fans. He is back in Miami awaiting news to

:08:23. > :08:28.find out if he will be the buyer but it would appear Andrew Flowers has

:08:29. > :08:33.been talking to another consortium trying to buy it. We have had no

:08:34. > :08:35.news from those talks taking place down in London.

:08:36. > :08:41.Other news now: A court's heard a Leeds woman, who died after being

:08:42. > :08:44.attacked by two dogs, could have provoked them when she had an

:08:45. > :08:47.epileptic fit. Emma Bennett suffered serious injuries at her home in East

:08:48. > :08:50.End Park, and died later in hospital. Her partner Lee Horner has

:08:51. > :08:55.denied charges under the Dangerous Dogs Act. His solicitor told Leeds

:08:56. > :09:01.Crown Court that Emma had epilepsy, and a fit could have caused the dogs

:09:02. > :09:04.to see her as prey. A trial date's been set for April.

:09:05. > :09:09.Over 1,000 people will lose their jobs at Wakefield Council in the

:09:10. > :09:12.next two years. The authority has outlined how it plans to save ?61

:09:13. > :09:19.million. 1,400 people will have to leave their jobs. It is warning that

:09:20. > :09:23.many services will be scaled back, with some disappearing altogether.

:09:24. > :09:30.But people will be paying more for a reduced service. Council tax will

:09:31. > :09:35.rise by 2%. I have never known it as bad as

:09:36. > :09:40.this. I have been in local government a long time. I speak to

:09:41. > :09:44.people from different local authorities and different political

:09:45. > :09:49.persuasions. They say the same, at the moment, times are really tough.

:09:50. > :09:51.It is next year I am worried about, ?38 million we have got to find on

:09:52. > :09:58.top of the 23 this year. A Sheffield ice cream seller, who

:09:59. > :10:01.imprisoned a vulnerable man and treated him like a slave, is having

:10:02. > :10:04.his jail sentence reviewed, after a complaint that it was too lenient.

:10:05. > :10:07.Craig Kinsella, who has learning difficulties, was beaten, made to

:10:08. > :10:10.live in a garage, and left to scavenge for food. Last month,

:10:11. > :10:12.44`year`old David Rooke, from Grenoside, was jailed for

:10:13. > :10:14.six`and`a`half years. But the Attorney General's office is

:10:15. > :10:16.considering whether that should be increased.

:10:17. > :10:20.North Yorkshire Conservative MP Anne McIntosh says "ungentlemanly

:10:21. > :10:23.behaviour" is behind her deselection as a Parliamentary candidate for

:10:24. > :10:26.2015. Miss McIntosh has been an MP since 1997, but won't be the Tory

:10:27. > :10:30.candidate at the next election, after losing a ballot of party

:10:31. > :10:31.members in Thirsk and Malton last week. She's already suggested she

:10:32. > :10:49.may stand as an independent instead. I am obviously disappointed at the

:10:50. > :10:54.outcome of the ballot which does seem to be a result of some

:10:55. > :10:58.ungentlemanly behaviour which has brought great discredit to the

:10:59. > :11:00.Conservative Party. I am delighted this is now going to be looked into.

:11:01. > :11:06.Downing Street has announced who will be the Bishop of a brand new

:11:07. > :11:08.Yorkshire diocese of the Church of England. Nick Baines, who's

:11:09. > :11:12.currently the Bishop of Bradford, will preside over the new diocese of

:11:13. > :11:15.West Yorkshire and The Dales. It will be the biggest diocese in the

:11:16. > :11:21.country, and Bishop Nick will lead almost 500 clergy, and over 650

:11:22. > :11:26.churches. Everyone assumes that if you change

:11:27. > :11:29.something particularly in the Church, it is because you are

:11:30. > :11:37.running out of money or people. It is not, it is reshaping our cells to

:11:38. > :11:39.better serve this area as a coherent region. We have three dioceses is

:11:40. > :11:46.all doing their own thing. It's believed that two fishermen who

:11:47. > :11:49.were found dead on a boat in Whitby harbour last month died from carbon

:11:50. > :11:52.monoxide poisoning. Mark Arries and Edward Ide were discovered on their

:11:53. > :11:55.boat moored off Pier Road on January 15th. An investigation into the

:11:56. > :11:59.accident found the men had lit a butane gas cooker on the vessel to

:12:00. > :12:03.keep warm. When they were found next morning, the boat was full of fumes,

:12:04. > :12:06.and the two fishermen were dead in their bunks.

:12:07. > :12:11.A campaign to detect and prevent child sexual exploitation has been

:12:12. > :12:14.launched by the police and councils in South Yorkshire. It follows

:12:15. > :12:20.severe criticism of how some cases of grooming were handled in

:12:21. > :12:23.Rotherham. Hoteliers, taxi drivers and teachers are all being asked to

:12:24. > :12:30.look out for the signs of grooming, and report them. Olivia Richwald

:12:31. > :12:36.reports. It is a crime that is hard to see

:12:37. > :12:40.and prevent and only now the sheer extent of child sexual exportation

:12:41. > :12:43.is becoming clear. In South Yorkshire there have been

:12:44. > :12:47.high`profile cases. Today was about raising awareness of the warning

:12:48. > :12:51.signs. If they suddenly come along with

:12:52. > :12:55.expensive clothing or a new mobile phone. Or, if they are not in the

:12:56. > :13:00.place they say they are going to be, or are very secretive, those are the

:13:01. > :13:26.signs that people can spot in a young person. Over the past year,

:13:27. > :13:28.reported instances increase by 80%. There were over 100 police

:13:29. > :13:30.investigations. But still one in four victims is thought to come

:13:31. > :13:32.forward. One of the difficulties is that the victims don't always

:13:33. > :13:35.consider themselves to be victims. So, they won't always report what is

:13:36. > :13:37.going on. But other people who are around them do see what is

:13:38. > :13:39.happening. Today's event was hosted at the Rotherham football stadium.

:13:40. > :13:42.In 2010, five men were jailed for grooming girls in the town. The

:13:43. > :13:45.council has been heavily criticised for failing to protect women from

:13:46. > :13:48.abuse by gangs of men. 14 women are planning to sue the council for

:13:49. > :13:53.compensation. Today, I spoke to the leader who said the systems here

:13:54. > :13:57.have changed, but the message from today is that it was everyone's

:13:58. > :14:02.responsibility to prevent this kind of crime. The message is, see

:14:03. > :14:08.something, say something. It doesn't matter how daft it is. Because it

:14:09. > :14:12.may save a child being molested. Among the audience, taxi drivers and

:14:13. > :14:17.hoteliers are considered the eyes and ears in identifying the crime.

:14:18. > :14:21.So far, 27 hotels in South Yorkshire have been given training. In the

:14:22. > :14:27.same way you would have an action plan in case there was a fire, we

:14:28. > :14:29.see this as the same thing. A publicity campaign is also being

:14:30. > :14:45.launched in schools. Before seven o'clock: We've been to

:14:46. > :14:51.speak to music's man of the moment, as he prepares for a sell`out gig in

:14:52. > :14:55.Yorkshire. We are here to speak to Sir Bradley

:14:56. > :14:57.Wiggins about his desire to be on the start line of the Tour de France

:14:58. > :15:05.in Leeds this summer. A BBC documentary will tonight give

:15:06. > :15:08.the first insight into the impact on families of the decision to suspend

:15:09. > :15:13.children's heart surgery in Yorkshire. Operations at Leeds

:15:14. > :15:16.General Infirmary were halted for two weeks last April, following a

:15:17. > :15:21.controversial row over safety concerns. Tonight's programme

:15:22. > :15:24.follows baby Julia, as she is rushed by a specialist team from Hull to

:15:25. > :15:27.Leicester, because the nearest unit in Leeds was closed. Our health

:15:28. > :15:36.correspondent Jamie Coulson has the story.

:15:37. > :15:43.March 2013, and baby Julia urgently needs surgery because of a defective

:15:44. > :15:46.heart. In the last week, she has nearly died four times. But the

:15:47. > :15:52.distance she will now have to travel for help has unexpectedly doubled.

:15:53. > :15:56.Surgery at a children's heart unit in Leeds is suspended. The

:15:57. > :16:00.suspension of surgery at the LGI in a row over safety means all children

:16:01. > :16:05.who need a heart operation must now go elsewhere. Instead of travelling

:16:06. > :16:12.from Hull Royal infirmary to Leeds, baby Julia must make her way to

:16:13. > :16:18.Leicester. But, before she can set off, her oxygen levels drop and she

:16:19. > :16:23.becomes seriously ill. For her parents who are Polish, it is an

:16:24. > :16:27.extremely worrying time. TRANSLATION: We talked about the

:16:28. > :16:31.fact we needed to prepare ourselves for the worst. The situation was so

:16:32. > :16:36.critical we did not think Julia would recover. Once stabilised,

:16:37. > :16:40.Julia begins her journey to Leicester but her fragile condition

:16:41. > :16:51.is of serious concern. She was very sick. Both myself and `` and her

:16:52. > :16:54.parents were concerned we wouldn't make it to hospital. Julia Nassima

:16:55. > :16:58.Saifi makes it to hospital where doctors wait before operating. She

:16:59. > :17:04.eventually has her surgery successfully one month later.

:17:05. > :17:09.TRANSLATION: Everything is OK. We really love her and we are really

:17:10. > :17:14.happy the whole story ended the way it did. The story has a happy ending

:17:15. > :17:17.and, for the first time, provides an insight into what the suspension of

:17:18. > :17:19.surgery at Leeds meant for one family.

:17:20. > :17:25.Our health correspondent Jamie Coulson joins us now. This was a

:17:26. > :17:29.huge story back in April, with lots of claims and counterclaims about

:17:30. > :17:34.death rates. Is this all behind us now?

:17:35. > :17:37.Yes and no. The suspension of children's heart surgery in these

:17:38. > :17:42.triggered a review of how the unit was run. Within two weeks, they

:17:43. > :17:47.deemed it was safe and surgery resumed. NHS England also wanted to

:17:48. > :17:53.go into more detail about the issues raised. Namely, whistle`blower

:17:54. > :17:58.surgeons at another unit, how complaints were handled, and they

:17:59. > :18:03.wanted to go through the records of every child who had died at the unit

:18:04. > :18:08.over the last three years. That was supposed to report back by autumn

:18:09. > :18:15.but we haven't had that. Until we get it, we can't draw a line under

:18:16. > :18:20.the saga. Where are we, in terms of a final decision about children's

:18:21. > :18:27.heart surgery at the LGI? The wider review of children's heart

:18:28. > :18:31.surgery was torpedoed by the Health Secretary because it was not deemed

:18:32. > :18:36.fit for purpose. He ordered a new review being carried out by NHS

:18:37. > :18:42.England. They set themselves a date of July this year to come up with a

:18:43. > :18:46.final decision. We are now looking at early 2015. There is an awful lot

:18:47. > :18:50.of work to do on this review and it is extremely complicated.

:18:51. > :18:53.You can watch the full story on BBC Two, at 8pm tonight.

:18:54. > :18:59.It's do or die in the FA Cup tonight for Sheffield United, as they face

:19:00. > :19:04.Premier League Fulham in a fourth round replay. The first leg finished

:19:05. > :19:07.1`1 at Bramall Lane nine days ago. Blades manager Nigel Clough says

:19:08. > :19:16.they'll do their best to get through to the last 16, but his priorities

:19:17. > :19:20.for the season are clear. It will mean nothing unless we start

:19:21. > :19:30.winning in the league. The last thing we want is a cup run but be at

:19:31. > :19:39.the bottom in the relegation zone. A few people say they wouldn't `` Babe

:19:40. > :19:43.would `` wouldn't swap it, but we need to win in the league.

:19:44. > :19:49.With just five months to go till the start of the Tour de France, and the

:19:50. > :19:52.king of cycling Sir Bradley Wiggins has spoken about his excitement at

:19:53. > :19:56.riding in Yorkshire. He was taking part in winter training with Team

:19:57. > :20:02.Sky in Majorca. And our Tour de France correspondent Matt Slater

:20:03. > :20:07.caught up with him. Having missed last year's Tour de

:20:08. > :20:12.France through injury, Sir Bradley Wiggins wasn't taking any chances.

:20:13. > :20:16.Even if it meant taking some of the clothing off again half an hour

:20:17. > :20:23.later. This is where his road begins. It certainly beats the A64

:20:24. > :20:27.in February. But is he looking forward to Yorkshire this summer? I

:20:28. > :20:32.would love to be there. It has been my motivation, training all winter,

:20:33. > :20:38.training last summer, watching it on the telly. I would love to be part

:20:39. > :20:41.of the team, especially starting in Yorkshire this year. The crowds in

:20:42. > :20:48.the first few days, we all know what to expect. It will be great to be

:20:49. > :20:53.part of it. Born in Belgium but made in London, Wiggins is a northerner

:20:54. > :20:57.these days. When he isn't enjoying the winter sun in Majorca, he can be

:20:58. > :21:05.spotted by Dean on the wrong side of the Pennines. Honorary Lancastrian?

:21:06. > :21:09.I don't venture much into Yorkshire much these days unless I have two!

:21:10. > :21:14.If you have two for the start of the Tour de France, it is going to be

:21:15. > :21:20.fantastic. They will put a great show on. The roads over there, it is

:21:21. > :21:27.a Scalextric track for cyclists. Some real famous climbs locally

:21:28. > :21:31.among the cycling fraternity. I think they deserve it. An incredible

:21:32. > :21:39.couple of days. The end of another Team Sky training ride. With five

:21:40. > :21:42.months to go until the start, things are starting to heat up. At least,

:21:43. > :21:52.they are in Majorca. He's just 23, but is a musician with

:21:53. > :21:55.a string of hits behind him, and a number of Brit Award nominations.

:21:56. > :21:58.Not bad for a man whose childhood ambition was to become a mechanic.

:21:59. > :22:02.John Newman, from Settle, is the latest success story to come out of

:22:03. > :22:05.Leeds College of Music. His debut album, Tribute, went straight to

:22:06. > :22:09.number one, and he's back in the city for one night only, performing

:22:10. > :22:40.at the O2 Academy, on his latest UK tour. We caught up with him earlier.

:22:41. > :22:48.Number one in the UK, number two in the US, to Brit nominations, not bad

:22:49. > :22:55.for a lad from settled. It's all right! It is a good start to the

:22:56. > :23:00.career. Next year is exciting. It started off really well. It is a

:23:01. > :23:05.year that I am getting ready to become an artist. It is important to

:23:06. > :23:11.me to keep selling records and have longevity. I have that constantly on

:23:12. > :23:14.my mind. He left school wanting to become a car mechanic. Here you are

:23:15. > :23:23.having all this success. How did that happen? I was lucky. I opened

:23:24. > :23:28.up my folder of sentimental things. When I was leaving school, it said,

:23:29. > :23:35.what you want to do in 20 years. It said, have my own car garage. Well,

:23:36. > :23:42.I messed up there somewhere! I was studying mechanics. I found myself

:23:43. > :23:46.in the back of the class, switching off. My music had slowly started

:23:47. > :23:52.coming in from being a hobby to taking over my life. You are back in

:23:53. > :23:56.Leeds for one night only. Does it feel weird coming back to the city

:23:57. > :24:06.where you studied music? I keep saying it to everyone, this is the

:24:07. > :24:15.one left to do. The amount of times I sat on the balcony and watched

:24:16. > :24:20.artists and thought, one day. These sports personality at the arena.

:24:21. > :24:25.That must have been a big moment. It was pretty incredibly. It felt like

:24:26. > :24:30.my life had come together. You write, produce, write your own

:24:31. > :24:35.scripts for your videos. You style yourself. You can possibly change a

:24:36. > :24:39.fan belt on your tour bus! How important is it that you are across

:24:40. > :24:51.all that? I want to keep hold of my career. By 2014, this feels like an

:24:52. > :24:55.important year, to get it right. You know all these artists have

:24:56. > :24:57.their essentials they take on tour. John Newman has a life`size table

:24:58. > :25:16.tennis table. Time now for the weather.

:25:17. > :25:25.Let me show you a few pictures that came in over the last 24 hours.

:25:26. > :25:29.Signs of spring. Thank you for that. This was taken today, look at the

:25:30. > :25:34.sky, plenty of sunshine around. There is a lot of rain to come in

:25:35. > :25:45.the next few days. And this sunrise. Keep the pictures coming in.

:25:46. > :25:51.There is a new blog which details how wet it has been in January.

:25:52. > :25:56.There will be a test for the river network in the next few days.

:25:57. > :26:01.Tomorrow sees rain showers spreading in from the south`west. Look at this

:26:02. > :26:05.weather charts, the first area of low pressure bringing rain. This

:26:06. > :26:12.feature could come up the Thursday night. And Saturday morning. Some

:26:13. > :26:16.very unsettled weather. The first weather system is already into

:26:17. > :26:21.western parts of Britain. Not too bad a day to day but the clouds

:26:22. > :26:27.thickening. One or two showers this evening. Otherwise, dry. The winds

:26:28. > :26:31.pick up. A pretty wet night right across Yorkshire, North

:26:32. > :26:37.Nottinghamshire and the North Midlands. It will ease off at dawn,

:26:38. > :26:47.temperatures down to three Celsius. The wind will be strong along the

:26:48. > :26:54.coast. The main body of overnight rain into

:26:55. > :27:00.the North Sea. A few showers, some drier spells. Then, late morning,

:27:01. > :27:08.showers and longer outbreaks of rain. Some dry spells in between but

:27:09. > :27:18.not too many. The top afternoon temperatures, a windy day, up to

:27:19. > :27:22.eight Celsius. About average. Further ahead, Thursday looks

:27:23. > :27:26.brighter. Eastern areas might be dried but there will be showers

:27:27. > :27:32.further west. More heavy rain on Thursday night. A wet start to

:27:33. > :27:35.Friday. Then, more rain on Saturday morning. Relentless.

:27:36. > :27:39.That's all from us. Do join us after the ten o'clock news. Have a good

:27:40. > :27:43.evening. Goodbye.
