:00:00. > :00:00.from BBC News. It is goodbye from from BBC News. It is goodbye from
:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, welcome to Thursday's Look North.
:00:07. > :00:10.Tonight, major cuts in services at a North Yorkshire hospital.
:00:11. > :00:17.We hear from the families who use the Friarage and fear for their
:00:18. > :00:25.children's safety. I had my third child, he came out in his cord was
:00:26. > :00:28.around his neck and he was blue. We'll find out why health bosses say
:00:29. > :00:31.the changes must go ahead. Also tonight: The axe falls on
:00:32. > :00:40.millions of pounds of services and hundreds of jobs as two councils set
:00:41. > :00:42.their budgets. The up`and`coming bands getting
:00:43. > :00:52.thousands of pounds from the Government to help them conquer
:00:53. > :00:57.America. And after a great start to the day, we reckon up with sunshine
:00:58. > :01:00.and showers so that there were plenty of rainbows like this. I am
:01:01. > :01:12.back later with the full forecast. First tonight a controversial plan
:01:13. > :01:14.that would see big changes to how children's and maternity services
:01:15. > :01:17.are provided at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton is to go
:01:18. > :01:20.ahead. Under the proposals published today all sick children who need
:01:21. > :01:26.overnight care and mothers having high risk births would have to go
:01:27. > :01:30.elsewhere. Each year more than 1,200 babies are
:01:31. > :01:36.born at the Friarage, but in future more than 700 would have to be
:01:37. > :01:39.delivered at another hospital. While last year around five children a day
:01:40. > :01:42.were admitted to hospital, in future any needing overnight care would
:01:43. > :01:45.have to travel. Doctors say it's the only way to provide sustainable
:01:46. > :01:48.care, while campaigners believe it could threaten patient safety. Our
:01:49. > :02:00.health correspondent Jamie Coulson reports. In the peaceful Yorkshire
:02:01. > :02:05.Dales village there is anger brewing. These mothers who have all
:02:06. > :02:10.relied on the Friarage Hospital are upset about plans that would see
:02:11. > :02:15.children's and maternity services skilled back. I had my third child,
:02:16. > :02:20.it came out and his cord was around his neck and he was blue. If we had
:02:21. > :02:26.to go to James Cook the chances are he may not be here. It is scary. It
:02:27. > :02:31.is a long way to the Friarage anyway, so to know that you could
:02:32. > :02:35.potentially have to go farther as scary. Today local NHS managers
:02:36. > :02:40.confirmed that in the future they want a maternity unit run by
:02:41. > :02:44.midwives, not doctors. High risk births would go elsewhere. There
:02:45. > :02:48.would be an end to overnight children's care of an assessment
:02:49. > :02:52.unit would run from 10am until 10pm. The plans have been controversial
:02:53. > :02:58.and have led to protests in Northallerton. Doctors readers argue
:02:59. > :03:02.that current services are unsustainable with too few patients
:03:03. > :03:05.to support the number of doctors needed to provide safe care. The
:03:06. > :03:10.strongest opposition has come from people in this town where the beauty
:03:11. > :03:14.is matched by the isolation. Many people fear what they see as the
:03:15. > :03:20.loss of some services at their local hospital. They have got it wrong. We
:03:21. > :03:25.were not prepared to listen to anything other than their own
:03:26. > :03:30.solution. This solution came forward well over two years ago, it has not
:03:31. > :03:36.been changed one iota. They have not done the legwork necessary to find
:03:37. > :03:42.alternatives. The Friarage and serves a population of over 120,000
:03:43. > :03:45.people. Under the changes high risk births and very privileged children
:03:46. > :03:49.would have to go to Middlesbrough, Darlington, added or your. At a
:03:50. > :03:55.national evidence says that children should be looked after in a large
:03:56. > :04:00.units with lots of well`trained staff who do really emergency stuff
:04:01. > :04:05.everyday. When people say they think the Friarage is a world`class
:04:06. > :04:09.service you are seeing it's not? It has been but doesn't compare any
:04:10. > :04:12.more because other services have improved and increased their
:04:13. > :04:20.standards. People are better going elsewhere? Yes. The local NHS wants
:04:21. > :04:24.to plummet the changes by October. Millions of pounds of cuts and
:04:25. > :04:28.hundreds of job losses are on the agenda for two of our local councils
:04:29. > :04:31.today as they struggle to set their budgets. There have been protests in
:04:32. > :04:34.Doncaster where elderly care homes, libraries and leisure services are
:04:35. > :04:37.all in the firing line. Meanwhile, in Bradford residents face an
:04:38. > :04:39.increase in council tax but the ruling group there has backtracked
:04:40. > :04:42.on controversial plans to close children's centres and public
:04:43. > :04:46.toilets. In a moment we'll hear from Bradford, but first to James Vincent
:04:47. > :05:07.who's outside the Council House in Doncaster. James. Balancing the
:05:08. > :05:10.books has become more difficult, less money around for people to
:05:11. > :05:14.spend on services. The headlines in the past few years have been about
:05:15. > :05:18.job losses. In Doncaster we are looking at losing one in five posts
:05:19. > :05:24.but what recently we have been talking about whether services will
:05:25. > :05:30.stay or go. If you have an elected merely Doncaster there is always
:05:31. > :05:34.someone visible to complain to. Council cuts in Doncaster are
:05:35. > :05:38.starting to get personal. When you are talking about closing care homes
:05:39. > :05:43.for patients with dementia it gets personal quickly. This is the front
:05:44. > :05:48.line of where the cuts will bite, care homes like this one which will
:05:49. > :05:53.be closed over a number of years. Nations with dementia and
:05:54. > :05:57.Alzheimer's mood to private care. That is an idea that people who have
:05:58. > :06:03.worked in Doncaster 's care homes do not necessarily agree with. They
:06:04. > :06:08.must make cuts somewhere, it is like everywhere. But I do feel strongly
:06:09. > :06:14.that shutting all, that is every one of them, shutting all of them is
:06:15. > :06:17.wrong. Among the protesters is Lauren Williamson whose elderly
:06:18. > :06:24.mother has dementia. She will be one of those moved. It would be
:06:25. > :06:29.devastating to move them. In fact, it is unjustified. It also could
:06:30. > :06:36.result in many deaths and I think this may or would have that on her
:06:37. > :06:41.conscience. I empathise because it could be my mother or father, it
:06:42. > :06:45.could be my brother or sister. When it is a personal one in those homes
:06:46. > :06:52.it is very, very close and emotional to your heart. The maps for
:06:53. > :06:57.Doncaster Council is stark. By 2017 its budget will have half. Over 1000
:06:58. > :07:00.jobs have already gone, the same amount will go again and although
:07:01. > :07:06.private care homes will be set up the council will close all of
:07:07. > :07:10.theirs. Difficult times for the Council and the tough sell for them
:07:11. > :07:15.as well, council tax will go up which means people will pay more for
:07:16. > :07:20.less. She has chosen to do this herself, she can make cuts anywhere.
:07:21. > :07:26.She needs to sit down and listen to the people of Doncaster. She has to
:07:27. > :07:34.fight. The passions running high in Doncaster.
:07:35. > :07:38.Later on Look North: Just before that, let's go to our correspondent
:07:39. > :07:43.in Bradford. Saved to serve the two lists of
:07:44. > :07:48.Bradford. When the public was consulted, people power one.
:07:49. > :07:53.Councillors look likely to agree to save the money elsewhere. Well they
:07:54. > :07:57.are relieved about that toilet decision, Bradford Council are
:07:58. > :08:02.warning of more tough times ahead. They want to make more massive
:08:03. > :08:07.cuts, ?37 million in the next financial year followed by ?52
:08:08. > :08:11.million a year after. That means 650 jobs are likely to go and you will
:08:12. > :08:15.have to pay 1.6% more on your council tax.
:08:16. > :08:19.What do the people of Bradford think they can afford it? It is not
:08:20. > :08:27.possible. At the moment after I have spent all my money on bills and food
:08:28. > :08:32.I have about ?10 left, so I have to do council tax now. It is not
:08:33. > :08:36.possible. It is not great, especially this area. The
:08:37. > :08:41.demographic in terms of income and everything, it is not the highest in
:08:42. > :08:48.the UK, so it will affect these areas the most. Can you afford to
:08:49. > :08:53.pay more? Who can? But we have no choice. Battered Labour run council
:08:54. > :08:59.has already had to save over ?100 million and is meeting to set the
:09:00. > :09:02.budget for next year. We will not be able to do what we have done in the
:09:03. > :09:08.past, we cannot do what we are doing now. It will change the face of
:09:09. > :09:10.local government. The weather in Bradford was claimed today, perhaps
:09:11. > :09:17.reflecting the mood inside City Hall to. `` tonight. Later in look North:
:09:18. > :09:20.Ambitious plans for an abandoned railway tunnel.
:09:21. > :09:26.Could it be saved from ruin and turned into Europe's largest
:09:27. > :09:29.underground cycle path? Next tonight, the heartbreaking
:09:30. > :09:33.story of a young mum from Doncaster who spent most of her life trying,
:09:34. > :09:35.and failing, to beat her addiction to drugs and alcohol.
:09:36. > :09:39.Shelley Emmonds from Hexthorpe died two weeks ago from pneumonia brought
:09:40. > :09:43.on by liver disease. Her funeral was today and now her family wants to
:09:44. > :09:46.share her story in the hope that it will warn others about the dangers
:09:47. > :09:58.of addiction. And, they're being supported by the Amy Winehouse
:09:59. > :10:04.Foundation. Kate Bradbrook reports. Preparing for a funeral she hoped
:10:05. > :10:09.never to see. Hamm lost her 33`year`old daughter, Shelley
:10:10. > :10:13.Emmonds, the weeks ago after a lifetime of heroin addiction. She
:10:14. > :10:21.was of it quite a few times and when she had her children I thought that
:10:22. > :10:25.meets do it. Then it led to alcohol, in the last few years, and that has
:10:26. > :10:32.been really worse than the drugs. It went downhill. It was hard to watch,
:10:33. > :10:34.but matter what he said you could not really stop someone doing it
:10:35. > :10:39.unless they wanted to stop themselves. Whilst Shelley Emmonds
:10:40. > :10:41.may not have been famous her battle with addiction mirrors that of Amy
:10:42. > :10:56.Wayne Harris. The galley award`winning singer who died at the
:10:57. > :10:59.age of 20. `` 27. Now, the Amy Wine house foundation is supporting
:11:00. > :11:06.Shelley's family who are fundraising to pay for her funeral which takes
:11:07. > :11:09.place today. We have the money, but we still go through the same party
:11:10. > :11:20.that any other family does. They have been great. `` still go through
:11:21. > :11:24.the same heart ache. As her family say a final farewell today they hope
:11:25. > :11:31.Shelley Emmonds's story could persuade others to seek help before
:11:32. > :11:34.it is too late. Stop and think about what you are doing. It is not just
:11:35. > :11:39.to yourself what to those around you. Thing about what you are
:11:40. > :11:43.leaving behind. They never think it will happen to them but it does.
:11:44. > :11:45.Everyone thinks it would happen to them.
:11:46. > :11:48.The girl who died after apparently falling from a window at her home in
:11:49. > :11:51.Bradford on Tuesday morning has been named as Amrita Kaur. She was
:11:52. > :11:54.22`months`old. The child's mother, who's 46, was found unconscious
:11:55. > :11:57.beside her daughter behind their home in West Bowling. She's been
:11:58. > :12:00.arrested on suspicion of murdering Amrita but remains critically ill in
:12:01. > :12:05.hospital. Police say they're not looking for anyone else in
:12:06. > :12:08.connection with the incident. Two men who were arrested yesterday
:12:09. > :12:11.on suspicion of murdering a car dealer from Bradford have been
:12:12. > :12:14.released on bail. Sajid Saddique hasn't been seen since he
:12:15. > :12:21.disappeared from Shipley seven years ago. The bailed men are aged 48 and
:12:22. > :12:24.52 and are both from Bradford. Three of our Bishops are among forty
:12:25. > :12:27.Christian leaders calling on the Government to end what they're
:12:28. > :12:32.calling a "hunger crisis". They claim a rising number of people now
:12:33. > :12:35.rely on food banks. The criticism of spending cuts and benefits changes
:12:36. > :12:38.which came from the Bishops of Wakefield, Sheffield and Doncaster
:12:39. > :12:41.was made in a letter to the Daily Mirror newspaper. The Government has
:12:42. > :12:45.responded saying it would be wrong not to cut waste while still
:12:46. > :12:51.providing a safety net for the most needy.
:12:52. > :12:56.A former editor of Look North has died at the age of 78. Martin Noble
:12:57. > :12:58.took up the post in 1968, when the programme first started broadcasting
:12:59. > :13:01.from Leeds. He went to Giggleswick School in North Yorkshire and
:13:02. > :13:04.started his journalism career at the Manchester Evening News and the
:13:05. > :13:07.Daily Telegraph. Martin was made an 'Honorary Member' of Huddersfield
:13:08. > :13:09.Rugby Union Club for his contribution to the sport. His
:13:10. > :13:17.funeral will take place in Brockholes next month.
:13:18. > :13:21.Now then, Harry, you've been spending plenty of your time on two
:13:22. > :13:27.wheels just lately but how would you fancy pedalling through a one and a
:13:28. > :13:35.half mile long tunnel? I suppose if it has an inkling then it would be
:13:36. > :13:37.great. A good place to have a sweat and a recovery and a recovery and
:13:38. > :13:40.take`off when no one can see. Well the good news is Europe's
:13:41. > :13:43.longest underground cycleway could be built right here in Yorkshire.
:13:44. > :13:46.The charity Sus`trans wants the abandoned railway tunnel in
:13:47. > :13:49.Queensbury to be reopened and converted into a cycle path. But
:13:50. > :13:52.it's a race against time, because it needs expensive repairs and there
:13:53. > :13:56.are fears its owners might fill it with concrete. Here's Spencer
:13:57. > :13:59.Stokes. Imagine cycling into this ` a deep,
:14:00. > :14:05.dark hole that links Bradford with Calderdale. If you see there, the
:14:06. > :14:10.stonework has collapsed. Closed for 60 years, reopening it for cyclists
:14:11. > :14:13.would be an epic task. But a group of Queensbury residents are
:14:14. > :14:17.determined it will happen. It's a difficult one, because you can hear
:14:18. > :14:19.the water running in it at the moment. There are all sorts of
:14:20. > :14:24.complicated watercourses that do make it more of a challenge. Much of
:14:25. > :14:27.the old great Northern Railway that ran towards the tunnel has already
:14:28. > :14:29.been converted into the popular Great Northern Trail, crossing
:14:30. > :14:35.Thorton viaduct ` another structure that was once believed to be beyond
:14:36. > :14:38.reuse. It has been a success. They say it would never happen but it
:14:39. > :14:43.has. The tunnel at the moment, will not happen tomorrow but, you know,
:14:44. > :14:46.five years ago the idea of a Tour de France starting in Yorkshire, never
:14:47. > :14:52.thought that would happen but it is happening. But would people want to
:14:53. > :14:56.pedal through the damp and dark? They are already doing that
:14:57. > :15:00.elsewhere in Yorkshire. Last year, this tunnel was reopened to
:15:01. > :15:04.cyclists. It is much shorter than the one at Queensbury ` only 200
:15:05. > :15:06.metres long ` but it does show how Victorian infrastructure can be
:15:07. > :15:10.renewed and reused. Queensbury's 1.5`mile tunnel is owned by the
:15:11. > :15:13.Highway Agency, who say they are making plans to carry out
:15:14. > :15:21.maintenance work. But the work is subject to funding. Campaigners fear
:15:22. > :15:24.it could be sealed forever, and the situation is not helped by the
:15:25. > :15:37.Halifax end of the tunnel being submerged, under 40 feet of water.
:15:38. > :15:41.This is a very significant railway structure. It took four years to
:15:42. > :15:44.build, nine or ten men died during the construction. If the Highways
:15:45. > :15:48.Agency is going to spend ?3.5 million on what is effectively a
:15:49. > :15:51.black hole, it will be nice to think that at the end of the day, the
:15:52. > :15:55.public could get some benefit from that. If it's blocked up with
:15:56. > :15:58.concrete and sealed, then there is no benefit. Queensbury tunnel could
:15:59. > :16:02.be viewed as a liability ` in which case, it will be filled in. But
:16:03. > :16:05.locally, it is seen as an asset ` a former railway that could become
:16:06. > :16:19.Europe's longest underground cycleway. You don't paint a good
:16:20. > :16:22.picture of me on a bike! That was me, not you!
:16:23. > :16:29.Before seven o'clock: The Yorkshire bands being given thousands of
:16:30. > :16:33.pounds of Government cash. Will it help them break into the
:16:34. > :16:37.American market? And the 18`stone folk singer who's
:16:38. > :16:46.determined to run a marathon in memory of his heroic ancestor.
:16:47. > :16:51.Football now and we only had one match last night but it was a
:16:52. > :16:55.significant one. Sheffield United won again, this time in the League
:16:56. > :16:58.at Gillingham. And it's a victory which puts yet more positive energy
:16:59. > :17:05.into the rest of the Blades' season. Paul Ogden reports.
:17:06. > :17:08.It's been a fortnight to treasure for Sheffield United. During it,
:17:09. > :17:13.they have beaten one Premier League and one championship team, plus two
:17:14. > :17:16.now from their own League One. The latest victory came last night down
:17:17. > :17:19.at Gillingham, thanks to this single goal in the first half from Conor
:17:20. > :17:22.Coady, to secure what Blades' manager Nigel Clough described as
:17:23. > :17:27."the best three points of the season". With good reason ` because
:17:28. > :17:30.having spent far too long in the League One relegation zone already,
:17:31. > :17:35.Sheffield United can at last look down on it again for now. If United
:17:36. > :17:38.do end up playing neighbours Sheffield Wednesday next week in the
:17:39. > :17:48.quarter cup finals in two weeks time, the Blades' could be the
:17:49. > :17:50.in`form team at this rate. That will be a fantastic match. The Sheffield
:17:51. > :17:53.derby. Meanwhile Sheffield Wednesday's head
:17:54. > :17:56.coach Stuart Gray says Gary Madine is feeling "very remorseful" now
:17:57. > :17:59.that he's been released from prison. The 23`year`old striker is out on
:18:00. > :18:02.licence after serving four months of an 18 month sentence for punching
:18:03. > :18:05.two men in separate nightclub attacks in Sheffield. Madine's
:18:06. > :18:09.future will be discussed at a meeting next week but Gray's told us
:18:10. > :18:20.today that he's already visited the player in prison and Madine is sorry
:18:21. > :18:28.for his actions. Very remorseful, very apologetic. He realises that he
:18:29. > :18:30.has been a silly boy and has done his time. He is looking forward to
:18:31. > :18:33.getting the bits back on. Team GB freestyle skier Emma
:18:34. > :18:36.Lonsdale from North Yorkshire has just missed out on the Olympic
:18:37. > :18:39.finals this afternoon. She completed two impressive runs in the Sochi
:18:40. > :18:43.halfpipe, but sadly her tricks and twists were just not quite big
:18:44. > :18:46.enough to finish in the top 12, and therefore qualify for the final.
:18:47. > :18:49.After the event, the 29`year`old from Settle said it was fun and
:18:50. > :18:53.nerve`racking and she hoped her family were proud. Emma also managed
:18:54. > :18:57.a tribute to her injured team`mate Rowan Cheshire, who was forced to
:18:58. > :19:09.pull out of the same event after suffering a concussion. We have
:19:10. > :19:11.rugby league action tonight, a big match in super league between
:19:12. > :19:14.Whitfield in Bradford. Now, we all know that here in
:19:15. > :19:18.Yorkshire we have some fantastic musical talent and its fair to say
:19:19. > :19:21.that its been a fairly remarkable twenty four hours for our music
:19:22. > :19:24.scene hasn't it? It certainly has. Last night at the BRIT Awards
:19:25. > :19:28.Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys took Best British Band and Best Album, the
:19:29. > :19:31.third time they have done the double at the ceremony. And hard on the
:19:32. > :19:34.heels of that the government's handed out thousands of pounds in
:19:35. > :19:43.grants to three other acts to help them promote themselves worldwide.

:19:49. > :19:52.export made history last night winning Best British band and album
:19:53. > :19:57.for the third time. A lot has changed within the music industry in
:19:58. > :20:05.the last decade since the Arctic monkeys formed. Now there is very
:20:06. > :20:10.little money invested. But today, the bands with local links have been
:20:11. > :20:16.given government funding to help break into foreign markets, in

:22:19. > :22:21.back into your comfort zone? Now here's a story close to your
:22:22. > :22:24.heart, Harry. Places for this year's Yorkshire marathon were snapped up
:22:25. > :22:27.within minutes of being made available and everyone taking part
:22:28. > :22:31.has their own reason for running. Yes and for York's Dan Webster it's
:22:32. > :22:34.a more sizeable challenge than for many, and the reason for taking it
:22:35. > :22:51.on is quite a story too. Here's Danny Carpenter.
:22:52. > :22:57.Daniel Webster is well`known around York, a musician who plays the pubs
:22:58. > :23:05.and clubs as well as running a regular singers night. It is a
:23:06. > :23:10.lifestyle he loves. But there is an almost inevitable downside. All
:23:11. > :23:20.those names in the pub, working, have put pounds on his waistline.
:23:21. > :23:25.Quite a lot of pounds. 18 stone ten. He is going to run the Yorkshire
:23:26. > :23:28.Marathon this year. But his incentive is not just losing pounds.
:23:29. > :23:32.It is raising them for the way for charity. Frank Dobson was a
:23:33. > :23:39.Scarborough fishermen and lifeboat man. He was also dans great grandad.
:23:40. > :23:44.In the early hours of the foulest of December days he got the call. After
:23:45. > :23:50.rescuing ten people from the stricken freighter in dual force
:23:51. > :23:54.winds, telling sees, he jumped back to the lifeboat. Clutched at the
:23:55. > :23:59.side real, and was crushed when a wave smashed the two vessels
:24:00. > :24:08.together. The idea of snow and Gilles, heading out to sea, and even
:24:09. > :24:12.the running and in tribute is, although I am not naturally bill for
:24:13. > :24:20.running, it has to be said, I can, and that kind of bravery. In the
:24:21. > :24:25.marathon is meant as a tribute, like the song, to remain people to keep
:24:26. > :24:33.the story alive. `` to remind people.
:24:34. > :24:42.Incredible. That is a story we must follow all the way through. Did you
:24:43. > :24:45.take a place in the marathon? I passed with year.
:24:46. > :24:55.Give him a break! You will be very interested to know
:24:56. > :25:00.we have some the stakes from the Met office, the wettest winter on record
:25:01. > :25:06.for the UK, record straight back to 1910. For our part of the world we
:25:07. > :25:11.have had probably 100 or a more rainfall in some parts of Yorkshire,
:25:12. > :25:14.the deals, the Pennington, it was not really a surprise! But it is
:25:15. > :25:22.official, the wettest winter on record. Let's look at some photo
:25:23. > :25:34.action. The first one, a colourful sky in Whitby. The second, Eastwick
:25:35. > :25:41.near York. I am very sorry, it is a script. We had lots of pictures of
:25:42. > :25:51.rainbows, too. The third one is a picture of some sheep because they
:25:52. > :25:54.were enjoying the sunshine. Paul the weatherman there have been many
:25:55. > :25:58.changes in the past 24 hours, it is cooler and easier and tomorrow it
:25:59. > :26:04.will be another breezy day with sunny spells and a few showers. It
:26:05. > :26:08.has been quite a breezy day, you can see the isobars are once again more
:26:09. > :26:10.tightly packed and wind will be a feature of the weather wrecked the
:26:11. > :26:16.way through the course of the weekend. You can see that this
:26:17. > :26:20.swathe of clouds, this rain brings cooler conditions today but behind
:26:21. > :26:24.the cloud has broken. We have some very pleasant spells of sunshine
:26:25. > :26:31.today. Some of the showers were heavy and family especially in the
:26:32. > :26:35.deals. Generally, we are looking at dry conditions and cooler than last
:26:36. > :26:39.night with a touch of frost in sheltered temperatures, dropping
:26:40. > :26:43.down to around one or two degrees. The sun will rise in the morning, at
:26:44. > :26:51.about 40 minutes past seven and setting at 5:27pm. It is a cold
:26:52. > :26:57.start to the data model, but that does not look too bad. It will be
:26:58. > :27:00.blustery and windy but there will be dry and bright weather with further
:27:01. > :27:03.spells of sunshine as you can see from the graphics. Some showers
:27:04. > :27:08.pushing through from the West once again and they could be heavy. It
:27:09. > :27:13.could be quite when the on high ground. There will be decent spells
:27:14. > :27:19.of sunshine in between. Temperatures back to the seasonal average of
:27:20. > :27:22.seven or eight days. As I mentioned it will be windy through the course
:27:23. > :27:27.of the weekend, on balance Saturday looks like the better day. It will
:27:28. > :27:32.be mild on Sunday but windy with a mix of rain spreading from the West.
:27:33. > :27:40.Did you miss as well you were away, Harry? Very much.
:27:41. > :27:42.The clock is ticking, as they say. Talking of which back tonight.
:27:43. > :27:44.Goodbye.
