:00:00. > :00:07.Welcome to Friday's Look North. Tonight, trying to fulfil a final
:00:08. > :00:11.wish. The Leeds family forced to pay double to bury their mother next to
:00:12. > :00:23.her daughter, because she no longer lived in the city. For a person who
:00:24. > :00:31.had lived 80% of her life or even more in the Leeds area, to be denied
:00:32. > :00:34.a funeral at a certain cost, it is disgusting. We investigate whether
:00:35. > :00:38.the policy is common practice. Also tonight, welcome but only if
:00:39. > :00:41.you pay twice. A theatre changes its policy after telling a wheelchair
:00:42. > :00:44.user they'll also charge for his carer.
:00:45. > :00:47.At the mercy of the Atlantic, we speak to the Yorkshire rower who's
:00:48. > :00:54.braved 3,000 miles and 40 foot waves on very little sleep.
:00:55. > :01:01.All of us saw some sunshine today, this was the view over the Hope
:01:02. > :01:05.Valley this afternoon and we are looking at more unsettled weather. I
:01:06. > :01:14.will be back later with all the details.
:01:15. > :01:20.First tonight, how much should you have to pay to carry out the dying
:01:21. > :01:23.wishes of a loved one? A family from Leeds say they're appalled at being
:01:24. > :01:27.asked to pay double the going rate to bury their mother next to her
:01:28. > :01:30.daughter in Morley Cemetery because she spent the last months of her
:01:31. > :01:35.life being cared for outside the district. Well, burial pricing and
:01:36. > :01:39.policy does seem to be a bit of a postcode lottery in our region. In
:01:40. > :01:43.Sheffield, it costs ?740 and there is no extra charge for those living
:01:44. > :01:47.outside the city at the time of their death. That policy also
:01:48. > :01:53.applies in Kirklees where you'll pay ?770 irrespective of where you die.
:01:54. > :01:59.York Council doesn't offer any burials. A cremation costs ?777 and
:02:00. > :02:05.you won't be charged extra if you passed away elsewhere. In Leeds,
:02:06. > :02:08.however, you'll pay ?905 to bury an adult but, if they die outside of
:02:09. > :02:23.the city boundaries, that doubles to ?1,810. Ian White reports.
:02:24. > :02:27.That's my wife, over there. David Johnson shows me the place in Morley
:02:28. > :02:32.Cemetery with his mother`in`law, Bessie Richardson will be buried
:02:33. > :02:38.next Thursday. The plot was secured after her daughter Yvonne, David's
:02:39. > :02:43.wife, died from cancer in 1987. Her wish was to be buried in Morley
:02:44. > :02:46.Cemetery. Her mother was buried in Morley Cemetery so we have been
:02:47. > :02:50.keeping the family as close as we can. Bessie Richardson spend most of
:02:51. > :02:56.her life living and working in Leeds but when she became less mobile in
:02:57. > :03:01.2002, she moved to Liversedge to live with relatives. She died on to
:03:02. > :03:06.a 6th January after suffering a heart attack. Leeds City Council
:03:07. > :03:09.normally charges ?905 in internment fees but they've told David the
:03:10. > :03:14.family will have to pay double that to bury her simply because she moved
:03:15. > :03:20.out of Leeds for the last few years of her life. For a person who had
:03:21. > :03:28.lived 80% of her life, maybe more, in the Leeds area to be denied a
:03:29. > :03:33.funeral at a certain cost, it is disgusting. In a letter to the
:03:34. > :03:38.family, Leeds City Council's bereavement manager said it is their
:03:39. > :03:41.policy that all modern Leeds relatives will be subject to double
:03:42. > :03:44.internment fees and would only waive these costs for people who have
:03:45. > :03:50.lived in needs for the last five years prior to their death. At a
:03:51. > :03:54.time to be told that, it is heart`wrenching. We have got to go
:03:55. > :03:59.with it and we will celebrate her life next Thursday. Leeds City
:04:00. > :04:04.Council says the policy remains and is commonplace amongst other large
:04:05. > :04:09.cities, such as Nottingham, Birmingham and Liverpool. David's
:04:10. > :04:12.family need to find ?1810. Adam Heath from the National
:04:13. > :04:22.Association of Funeral Directors says burial policies vary greatly
:04:23. > :04:26.according to where you live. It happens in some places, it doesn't
:04:27. > :04:32.in others. In Sheffield where I am from, it doesn't happen, there is no
:04:33. > :04:38.extra charge. But in Leeds it does. So, each area, each individual
:04:39. > :04:42.place, has its own policy. And what is the point of it? Is it because we
:04:43. > :04:47.are running short of burial space or is it a way of making money? Who
:04:48. > :04:51.knows in this case but some areas will do it to prevent people from
:04:52. > :04:55.coming to their area, they want to discourage people from doing that.
:04:56. > :05:01.They might even have a blanket ban on it. Some places will do it to
:05:02. > :05:08.make money. Each one is taken on its own merit in smaller organisations.
:05:09. > :05:12.But in big organisations, it is difficult for them to discern who is
:05:13. > :05:18.a valid case and who isn't. It doesn't seem very fair, it seems
:05:19. > :05:24.quite harsh. Again, I don't know the ins and outs of it, but it does seem
:05:25. > :05:27.harsh to me that this particular case, without looking at it in
:05:28. > :05:29.depth, it does seem a little harsh to me.
:05:30. > :05:32.Next tonight, Bradford is on track to become a major shopping
:05:33. > :05:34.destination, according to retail experts. Building work at the city's
:05:35. > :05:38.long`awaited Westfield Centre got under way just over a month ago.
:05:39. > :05:42.It's currently the only shopping centre building project in the whole
:05:43. > :05:45.of the UK, and it's predicted once it opens it will propel Bradford
:05:46. > :05:55.into fourth place in Yorkshire behind Leeds, Sheffield and
:05:56. > :05:58.Meadowhall. Here's Spencer Stokes. The long wait is over and finally
:05:59. > :06:02.things are happening at the Westfield side. Builders had been
:06:03. > :06:06.making a big hole a bit bigger over the last six weeks, ready for the
:06:07. > :06:14.arrival of steelwork. There is three cranes... It's not what most hotel
:06:15. > :06:18.managers would want their guests to see but this man doesn't mind. He
:06:19. > :06:25.had to look at an empty construction site for 10`year 's. It is the icing
:06:26. > :06:28.on the cake, though redevelopment of Bradford city centre is why we built
:06:29. > :06:34.by hotel here. It has been very much delayed. It will enhance the offer
:06:35. > :06:39.we have on the hotel, the capital investment in the hotel will
:06:40. > :06:44.continue, and it is great for the city. Westfield say their aim is to
:06:45. > :06:49.have 600,000 square feet of shopping centre open for Christmas 2015 which
:06:50. > :06:55.would turn Bradford into Yorkshire's biggest destinations.
:06:56. > :07:00.Bradford is in 11th place in Yorkshire but the new centre would
:07:01. > :07:05.lift it to fourth behind Leeds, Meadowhall and Sheffield. Our
:07:06. > :07:09.experience of working with companies like Westfield is they tend to
:07:10. > :07:14.deliver. They have got commitments from some of the retailers, which is
:07:15. > :07:20.the catalyst for making these things happen. The centre is 50% to let and
:07:21. > :07:25.big names have signed up, including Marks Spencer, WH Smith, River
:07:26. > :07:29.Island and Sainsbury's. The main anchor tenant will be Debenhams. In
:07:30. > :07:34.the city that used to be home to Busby 's and Brown and muff,
:07:35. > :07:38.Bradford is once again getting a department store. There is a much
:07:39. > :07:43.loved names that disappeared in the 80s, the start of the city's
:07:44. > :07:47.decline. Today, though, there is a more optimistic mood. Now that it is
:07:48. > :07:50.starting, it is going to get better. You can see something is
:07:51. > :07:57.happening, so you know that something is happening. And it is
:07:58. > :08:04.going to change. I won't have to go to Leeds to go shopping. Some fear
:08:05. > :08:10.that this shop opening might lead to other shops closing. But, for now,
:08:11. > :08:16.the 10`year wait is over. Let's hope so. My mum used to work
:08:17. > :08:20.at Busby's. Quite a few years ago. But to see it on the move. `` had to
:08:21. > :08:25.see it. Later on Look North. All the sport,
:08:26. > :08:28.plus, we catch up with the slopestyle skier who's tipped to be
:08:29. > :08:30.one of Britain's best hopes for an Olympic medal.
:08:31. > :08:34.There are calls tonight for York College to say sorry for the
:08:35. > :08:37.mistakes which led to the death of Lydia Bishop, the little girl who
:08:38. > :08:40.died on her first day at its nursery. Yesterday, nursery
:08:41. > :08:44.assistant Sophee Redhead was cleared of all blame for the death of the
:08:45. > :08:48.three year old but the jury found the college had failed to ensure the
:08:49. > :08:51.safety of children in its care. Now a mother whose children went to the
:08:52. > :08:57.same nursery says the college should apologise. Here's our crime
:08:58. > :09:02.correspondent John Cundy. Claire Gibbs children, Laurence and
:09:03. > :09:07.Alila, or at the York College nursery, the day that Lydia Bishop
:09:08. > :09:12.tragically died, strangled by a rope wrongly left on a slide. Blair says
:09:13. > :09:16.shocked parents like herself were kept in the dark about what had
:09:17. > :09:22.happened. When the college nursery shut, that supports stopped. We had
:09:23. > :09:25.a message to say come and collect your belongings from reception. I
:09:26. > :09:31.turned up, there was a carrier bag for each of my kicks and that was
:09:32. > :09:36.it. The York College shut after the tragedy and it will never reopen and
:09:37. > :09:40.the college faces fines of tens of thousands of pounds after a jury
:09:41. > :09:46.found the nursery had failed to ensure the safety of children in
:09:47. > :09:51.their daily care. There is no apology to Lydia's family or the
:09:52. > :09:57.staff, or the parents and the children. And I am very angry with
:09:58. > :10:01.the college for that. Sophee Redhead was cleared yesterday by a jury of
:10:02. > :10:05.any blame in connection with Lydia Bishop's death. I don't think she
:10:06. > :10:10.should have been held accountable for what happened that day. Somebody
:10:11. > :10:15.else didn't do their job properly. And a little girl lost her life was
:10:16. > :10:21.the result. Does it frightened me you to think that could have been
:10:22. > :10:24.your son? Absolutely. That is why I am angry with the college because
:10:25. > :10:29.those procedures were ignored and ignored. In a statement, the college
:10:30. > :10:55.replied... Claire's sympathies lie with Lydia
:10:56. > :10:58.Bishop's family but she feels there are so many questions unanswered
:10:59. > :11:03.about what Rooney happened that tragic September day. `` what really
:11:04. > :11:07.happened that tragic September day. More news now and the former
:11:08. > :11:10.Rotherham MP Denis MacShane has been released from jail. He was given a
:11:11. > :11:12.six`month sentence for expenses fraud just before Christmas. The
:11:13. > :11:14.judge said he'd "deliberately created misleading and deceptive
:11:15. > :11:21.invoices." The former Europe Minister left Brixton Prison this
:11:22. > :11:26.morning. I have been well treated by the prisoners. It has been a
:11:27. > :11:31.humbling, rewarding, enriching experience. I've lost weight, I am
:11:32. > :11:35.fitter than I have been for the last ten years. And I'm glad to get back
:11:36. > :11:37.to see my children, family and friends.
:11:38. > :11:39.A decision to shift millions of pounds worth of European Development
:11:40. > :11:43.funding away from South Yorkshire has been quashed by the High Court.
:11:44. > :11:47.A judge ruled that the government had used "flawed" methods to decide
:11:48. > :11:50.how to share out money given to the UK for investment in infrastructure
:11:51. > :11:54.over the next six years. South Yorkshire had been allocated a
:11:55. > :11:57.fraction of the amounts it expected. The government is being asked to
:11:58. > :12:00.look again at how it distributes the funding.
:12:01. > :12:03.An investigation which followed a woman being bitten by a police dog
:12:04. > :12:06.in Sheffield has concluded the dog handler was not at fault. Police
:12:07. > :12:10.were called to reports of a disturbance on Fife Street in
:12:11. > :12:13.Wincobank in August last year. The injured woman wasn't part of the
:12:14. > :12:16.incident. The investigation by South Yorkshire Police and the Independent
:12:17. > :12:21.Police Complaints Commission says the decision to use a dog during a
:12:22. > :12:25.chase was correct. No further action will be taken against the officer
:12:26. > :12:29.involved. It was the last day at work in
:12:30. > :12:32.Northallerton today for 350 staff at the Rural Payments Agency. The
:12:33. > :12:37.agency, which administers European grants to farmers, is closing the
:12:38. > :12:42.Northallerton office. 250 staff will transfer to York, with the rest
:12:43. > :12:45.taking voluntary redundancy. The government says the change will save
:12:46. > :12:51.taxpayers' money, but unions are concerned.
:12:52. > :12:55.The Barbican Theatre in York has been forced to change its policy on
:12:56. > :13:01.free tickets for the carers of disabled people, after a legal
:13:02. > :13:05.challenge from a man in Wetherby. After being told he would have to
:13:06. > :13:08.pay full price for both himself and his carer, Doug Paulley threatened
:13:09. > :13:11.to take legal action. The company that runs the theatre has now
:13:12. > :13:21.changed its policy. We sent our reporter Owen Walker, who uses a
:13:22. > :13:25.wheelchair himself, to investigate. Like everyone, Doug Paulley enjoys a
:13:26. > :13:31.night out in the theatre and when he went to the Barbican last year, he
:13:32. > :13:34.went on a trip. However, when they tried to get tickets, they
:13:35. > :13:39.discovered it would cost them much more than they thought. I need a
:13:40. > :13:42.carer, people in the home need a carer even more than me and we
:13:43. > :13:48.wouldn't have been able to attend without them. We would have had to
:13:49. > :13:53.have paid twice, ?25 a ticket, we would have ended up paying 50 quid
:13:54. > :14:00.because we need carers. Whilst this seemed unusual, I wanted to see what
:14:01. > :14:04.other venues did. I went to the West Yorkshire Playhouse to see how they
:14:05. > :14:11.would charge me. I just bought these two tickets from the West `` from
:14:12. > :14:15.the Playhouse. Mine cost money pounds but I carer's was free
:14:16. > :14:20.because the theatre recognises the fact I am responsible for his
:14:21. > :14:25.expenses when he is working and this is the same at most theatres and
:14:26. > :14:32.cinemas across Yorkshire. Doug is no stranger to challenging the nation.
:14:33. > :14:39.He successfully sued a bus company last year and didn't hesitate to sue
:14:40. > :14:45.the Barbican. But they backed down. In a statement, they said it was
:14:46. > :14:50.their normal policy to offer a discounted price ticket to carers
:14:51. > :14:53.but when Doug wanted the tickets, they were unable to action the
:14:54. > :14:58.policy. Now they say they are committed to it everyone and as such
:14:59. > :15:03.they have clarified the Odyssey. That means that Doug and his carer
:15:04. > :15:09.can now go to the theatre for the price of one ticket. They are a huge
:15:10. > :15:11.company and, so, we hope that other venues that don't currently have
:15:12. > :15:19.this policy will follow this excellent example. It's sad it took
:15:20. > :15:21.so much for this to happen but brilliant that they made this
:15:22. > :15:27.change. He's celebrating his victory with a trip to the Barbican later
:15:28. > :15:30.this year. A fascinating story.
:15:31. > :15:32.Before seven o'clock, all the sport plus we meet a man up for a
:15:33. > :15:36.challenge! The rower who battled 40 foot waves
:15:37. > :15:37.to make it 3,000 miles across the Atlantic and straight here to the
:15:38. > :15:48.studio. Let's have some sport now. And I'm a
:15:49. > :15:51.bit disappointed to see that Oggy hasn't got his skis or his snazzy
:15:52. > :15:57.snowboard with him! Could you not fit them in your bag today?
:15:58. > :16:01.Can you imagine me pedalling through the rush hour on my bike with a pair
:16:02. > :16:08.of skis on my back was Mac dangerous sport! I've never skied in my life,
:16:09. > :16:11.actually. The wind Olympics got under way this afternoon with the
:16:12. > :16:15.opening ceremony in the Russian city of Sochi. One of Britain's best
:16:16. > :16:18.hopes for a medal is from Sheffield, the very likeable slopestyle skier,
:16:19. > :16:23.James Woods. He started out on the dry slope at the Sheffield Ski
:16:24. > :16:26.Village. Next week, he's aiming for Olympic gold in a spectacular
:16:27. > :16:31.discipline, where the goal is to do the most difficult tricks, as high
:16:32. > :16:35.up as possible. Joe Inwood has more. You'd think when you spend your life
:16:36. > :16:42.doing this, nothing could take your breath away. But for James Woods, as
:16:43. > :16:47.he arrives at Saatchi, he knows the size of the challenge and
:16:48. > :16:53.opportunity. I appreciate how lucky I am with everything falling into
:16:54. > :16:57.place. The mountains are outstanding! If there's one man who
:16:58. > :17:02.can take them on, it is James. The`year`old from Sheffield is the
:17:03. > :17:10.best at what he does and what he does but stop. `` and what he
:17:11. > :17:14.does... Well, think about skateboard tricks performed on the side of the
:17:15. > :17:23.mountain and you're still quite not there. But the slope `` but it is
:17:24. > :17:27.now an Olympic sport. This is the Olympics, it's the big one but I've
:17:28. > :17:31.done the biggest competition of my life a hundred times. Every single
:17:32. > :17:37.one is the biggest competition of your life. So there is no real
:17:38. > :17:42.change. One thing that has changed, the place where it all began.
:17:43. > :17:49.Sheffield Ski Village, his spiritual home. Now it is destroyed. It is
:17:50. > :17:57.pretty heart`wrenching, if I'm honest. Loosely, I'd heard about it,
:17:58. > :18:02.but this is my first time here. First time back. It is
:18:03. > :18:05.gut`wrenching. It was the lessons he learnt here that turned him from
:18:06. > :18:11.this... To this. And brought him right to the peak. I'd really like
:18:12. > :18:18.to go and put down a really good result. And give people the reason
:18:19. > :18:23.to flick on the TV and just created that of bars about it. I know that I
:18:24. > :18:29.am capable, and I know that I feel good about what I do. I am at the
:18:30. > :18:37.top of my game. Next week, he will be at the top of the Krasna Poliana
:18:38. > :18:40.mountains with a chance to prove it. Good luck to James Wood in such a.
:18:41. > :18:44.The new Super League season is almost upon us. It kicks off tonight
:18:45. > :18:48.when Huddersfield Giants travel to face reigning champions Wigan. But
:18:49. > :18:51.all of our other clubs have another week to wait for their big launch.
:18:52. > :18:54.That's because tonight's opener has been brought forward to accommodate
:18:55. > :18:56.Wigan's World Club Championship commitments.
:18:57. > :19:00.So, the Giants will have a big audience to show just how ready they
:19:01. > :19:03.are, to go for the big prize at Old Trafford. Remember that, this
:19:04. > :19:06.season, there's the added threat of relegation for the weakest two
:19:07. > :19:09.teams. But having finished top of the ladder at the end of last year's
:19:10. > :19:19.regular fixtures, Huddersfield are aiming high again. I think the
:19:20. > :19:22.belief is rife. It is me and my staff, all our players, we know we
:19:23. > :19:27.are capable of something special but now we need to prove it. You have to
:19:28. > :19:30.put that into action. The proposed takeover at Leeds
:19:31. > :19:34.United by the Italian businessman Massimo Cellino has taken a
:19:35. > :19:37.significant step forward. Leeds have confirmed that contracts have been
:19:38. > :19:42.exchanged on a deal for Cellino to buy a majority stake in the club.
:19:43. > :19:44.The takeover still has to be rubber`stamped by the Football
:19:45. > :19:47.League. But that's something they can't do yet, because the league
:19:48. > :19:51.hasn't yet received all the information they've requested from
:19:52. > :19:54.the parties involved. For his part, Mr Cellino is planning to travel to
:19:55. > :19:57.the UK next week, and is already putting the re`purchase of the
:19:58. > :20:03.club's Elland Road stadium at the top of his agenda.
:20:04. > :20:05.On the field, we can't go into this weekend without mentioning
:20:06. > :20:08.Chesterfield, who've had a fantastic week already with that JP Trophy
:20:09. > :20:12.result at Fleetwood. Tomorrow, the Spireites have a chance to increase
:20:13. > :20:15.their lead even further at the top of League Two, if they beat their
:20:16. > :20:28.nearest rivals second placed Scunthorpe United away at Glanford
:20:29. > :20:34.Park. It should be cracking. We try not to set us up for a shock. We
:20:35. > :20:37.have had a great run. We are looking forward to the game, it will be
:20:38. > :20:43.tough but it will be entertaining as well.
:20:44. > :20:49.Have a good weekend, sporting wise, wherever you are going to spend it.
:20:50. > :20:52.Now, I know you're always up for a challenge, Harry, but imagine
:20:53. > :20:55.battling 40 foot waves and surviving on freeze dried food rations while
:20:56. > :21:01.taking a rowing boat 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. Gruelling. But
:21:02. > :21:05.that's just what Dan Rowie from Northallerton and his rowing
:21:06. > :21:08.partner, Will North, did. They completed their epic journey from
:21:09. > :21:13.the Canaries to Antigua in 53 days nine hours and 30 minutes. And they
:21:14. > :21:18.touched down in the UK this morning. Dan's in the studio now. But, before
:21:19. > :21:24.we talk to him, let's take a look at what he faced.
:21:25. > :21:33.Their titanic battle saw them swapped the lead and was only
:21:34. > :21:37.decided in the last 500 miles. They crossed the finishing line in
:21:38. > :21:49.Antigua and their 3,000 mile journey was over.
:21:50. > :22:01.It looks a piece of cake! Was it? It was quite full on and relentless.
:22:02. > :22:07.What was the worst part? Capsizing. We capsized twice in December which
:22:08. > :22:14.damaged all our electronics. We thought maybe we should pull the
:22:15. > :22:18.plug them. Why do to keep going? We were thinking about our charities,
:22:19. > :22:25.Cancer Research UK, leukaemia research and Saint Anna 's. These
:22:26. > :22:30.guys go through worse every single day, so it was a case of man up and
:22:31. > :22:36.get on with it. When you capsized, was it a massive wave that hit you?
:22:37. > :22:41.On the 13th of December, it was a freak wave that hit us and we
:22:42. > :22:49.deserved it. On the 17th, it was a 50 footer. It was full on. In
:22:50. > :22:54.amongst all this, you've had some wonderful moments involving whales
:22:55. > :22:59.and dolphins. We got surrounded by 30 fin whales one day. That was
:23:00. > :23:03.fantastic. That was underneath the boat so we got some great footage. A
:23:04. > :23:12.pool of dolphins we had as well, and a shark. It wasn't quite as fun. And
:23:13. > :23:22.we had some Junor following us as well. I'd love to see the footage of
:23:23. > :23:27.the Wales. Can we see at some time? My four friends are going to try
:23:28. > :23:33.this thing, they are all ladies in York. What advice would you give
:23:34. > :23:39.them? I don't know. I nearly said don't do it! I would say train hard
:23:40. > :23:43.but be as prepared as you can. We made sure we got our boat as early
:23:44. > :23:46.as we could so we could weasel out any issues with it because there
:23:47. > :23:51.were quite a few problems that went wrong in training. So be as prepared
:23:52. > :24:00.as you can, and be prepared to not have a good time. But you did feel
:24:01. > :24:06.elated at the end. It was amazing, we had hundreds of people there. And
:24:07. > :24:11.it was the best feeling, it was fantastic. And to know we raised
:24:12. > :24:16.?150,000 for our charities, people donating on our website, we have had
:24:17. > :24:22.so much support from Yorkshire as well. Uniquely didn't get here from
:24:23. > :24:30.London today, did you? The train was a nightmare! Now, were you of the
:24:31. > :24:39.seasick? No, I wasn't, I got off lucky. Well done, very well done.
:24:40. > :24:43.Now, what is the prospect for the weather?
:24:44. > :24:48.We have some wet and windy weather tonight but we have had a lovely day
:24:49. > :24:55.today and the pictures reflect that. Let's take a look. The first one,
:24:56. > :24:59.the spring is in the air. That is more folk Park in Sheffield. The
:25:00. > :25:03.second picture is a beautiful scene across Hope Valley. The third one,
:25:04. > :25:11.some sheep enjoying the sunshine near Harrogate. Keep your pictures
:25:12. > :25:16.coming in. And you can also tweet us. Some wet and windy weather to
:25:17. > :25:20.come through this evening and, on balance, Sunday is the better day of
:25:21. > :25:26.the weekend. There will be fewer showers. You can see that the ISA
:25:27. > :25:27.bars are tightly packed so windy conditions, especially as we go
:25:28. > :25:39.through tomorrow. `` the ISA bars. Most places got some sunshine today
:25:40. > :25:42.and we are fine out there today. Some showers will crop up this
:25:43. > :25:48.evening ahead of this band of rain pushing up from the south`west.
:25:49. > :25:54.Gales across the hills, maybe even some snow before it clears away
:25:55. > :25:58.before the end of the night. Temperatures overnight dropping back
:25:59. > :26:08.to two or three. The sun will rise at around 7:40am.
:26:09. > :26:14.As we go through tomorrow, the best part of the day is going to be the
:26:15. > :26:21.late morning with one or two showers to start, they will die away. Then
:26:22. > :26:24.it will be nice but breezy. We do have some showers merging into
:26:25. > :26:29.longer spells of rain through the afternoon so it is turning into a
:26:30. > :26:35.grotty afternoon. Some places in the east will not get the showers but
:26:36. > :26:42.most places will get to them. It is blustery, too. Temperatures are
:26:43. > :26:45.average, getting up to about seven. Let us take a look further ahead
:26:46. > :26:51.into Sunday. There will be some showers about, mainly in the West,
:26:52. > :26:57.tending to become fewer and further apart. The breeze will lighten
:26:58. > :27:02.through Monday to choose day. But we keep the Atlantic influence. It will
:27:03. > :27:08.be windy on Schuster. After all that dried food, what will you have now?
:27:09. > :27:13.I've been craving pork. And a lot of beer as well. Tuna is a good
:27:14. > :27:32.food... Enjoy your weekend, goodbye. Should councils adopt an no`frills
:27:33. > :27:36.approach to providing services along the lines of budget airlines? That's
:27:37. > :27:41.what happened in one London borough but would it work up north? And we
:27:42. > :27:46.find out why some Yorkshire care workers say they are angry at plans
:27:47. > :27:48.to slash their wages. The full story on the Sunday Politics from 11am on
