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. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight, major cuts in services at a North Yorkshire hospital. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
We hear from the families who use the Friarage and fear for their | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
children's safety. I had my third child, he came out in his cord was | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
around his neck and he was blue. We'll find out why health bosses say | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
the changes must go ahead. Also tonight: The axe falls on | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
millions of pounds of services and hundreds of jobs as two councils set | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
their budgets. The up`and`coming bands getting | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
thousands of pounds from the Government to help them conquer | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
America. And after a great start to the day, we reckon up with sunshine | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
and showers so that there were plenty of rainbows like this. I am | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
back later with the full forecast. First tonight a controversial plan | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
that would see big changes to how children's and maternity services | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
are provided at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton is to go | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
ahead. Under the proposals published today all sick children who need | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
overnight care and mothers having high risk births would have to go | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
elsewhere. Each year more than 1,200 babies are | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
born at the Friarage, but in future more than 700 would have to be | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
delivered at another hospital. While last year around five children a day | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
were admitted to hospital, in future any needing overnight care would | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
have to travel. Doctors say it's the only way to provide sustainable | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
care, while campaigners believe it could threaten patient safety. Our | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
health correspondent Jamie Coulson reports. In the peaceful Yorkshire | :01:49. | :02:00. | |
Dales village there is anger brewing. These mothers who have all | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
relied on the Friarage Hospital are upset about plans that would see | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
children's and maternity services skilled back. I had my third child, | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
it came out and his cord was around his neck and he was blue. If we had | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
to go to James Cook the chances are he may not be here. It is scary. It | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
is a long way to the Friarage anyway, so to know that you could | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
potentially have to go farther as scary. Today local NHS managers | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
confirmed that in the future they want a maternity unit run by | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
midwives, not doctors. High risk births would go elsewhere. There | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
would be an end to overnight children's care of an assessment | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
unit would run from 10am until 10pm. The plans have been controversial | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
and have led to protests in Northallerton. Doctors readers argue | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
that current services are unsustainable with too few patients | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
to support the number of doctors needed to provide safe care. The | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
strongest opposition has come from people in this town where the beauty | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
is matched by the isolation. Many people fear what they see as the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
loss of some services at their local hospital. They have got it wrong. We | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
were not prepared to listen to anything other than their own | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
solution. This solution came forward well over two years ago, it has not | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
been changed one iota. They have not done the legwork necessary to find | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
alternatives. The Friarage and serves a population of over 120,000 | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
people. Under the changes high risk births and very privileged children | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
would have to go to Middlesbrough, Darlington, added or your. At a | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
national evidence says that children should be looked after in a large | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
units with lots of well`trained staff who do really emergency stuff | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
everyday. When people say they think the Friarage is a world`class | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
service you are seeing it's not? It has been but doesn't compare any | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
more because other services have improved and increased their | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
standards. People are better going elsewhere? Yes. The local NHS wants | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
to plummet the changes by October. Millions of pounds of cuts and | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
hundreds of job losses are on the agenda for two of our local councils | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
today as they struggle to set their budgets. There have been protests in | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Doncaster where elderly care homes, libraries and leisure services are | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
all in the firing line. Meanwhile, in Bradford residents face an | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
increase in council tax but the ruling group there has backtracked | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
on controversial plans to close children's centres and public | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
toilets. In a moment we'll hear from Bradford, but first to James Vincent | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
who's outside the Council House in Doncaster. James. Balancing the | :04:47. | :05:07. | |
books has become more difficult, less money around for people to | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
spend on services. The headlines in the past few years have been about | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
job losses. In Doncaster we are looking at losing one in five posts | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
but what recently we have been talking about whether services will | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
stay or go. If you have an elected merely Doncaster there is always | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
someone visible to complain to. Council cuts in Doncaster are | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
starting to get personal. When you are talking about closing care homes | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
for patients with dementia it gets personal quickly. This is the front | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
line of where the cuts will bite, care homes like this one which will | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
be closed over a number of years. Nations with dementia and | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Alzheimer's mood to private care. That is an idea that people who have | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
worked in Doncaster 's care homes do not necessarily agree with. They | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
must make cuts somewhere, it is like everywhere. But I do feel strongly | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
that shutting all, that is every one of them, shutting all of them is | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
wrong. Among the protesters is Lauren Williamson whose elderly | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
mother has dementia. She will be one of those moved. It would be | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
devastating to move them. In fact, it is unjustified. It also could | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
result in many deaths and I think this may or would have that on her | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
conscience. I empathise because it could be my mother or father, it | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
could be my brother or sister. When it is a personal one in those homes | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
it is very, very close and emotional to your heart. The maps for | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
Doncaster Council is stark. By 2017 its budget will have half. Over 1000 | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
jobs have already gone, the same amount will go again and although | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
private care homes will be set up the council will close all of | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
theirs. Difficult times for the Council and the tough sell for them | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
as well, council tax will go up which means people will pay more for | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
less. She has chosen to do this herself, she can make cuts anywhere. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
She needs to sit down and listen to the people of Doncaster. She has to | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
fight. The passions running high in Doncaster. | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
Later on Look North: Just before that, let's go to our correspondent | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
in Bradford. Saved to serve the two lists of | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Bradford. When the public was consulted, people power one. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Councillors look likely to agree to save the money elsewhere. Well they | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
are relieved about that toilet decision, Bradford Council are | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
warning of more tough times ahead. They want to make more massive | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
cuts, ?37 million in the next financial year followed by ?52 | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
million a year after. That means 650 jobs are likely to go and you will | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
have to pay 1.6% more on your council tax. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
What do the people of Bradford think they can afford it? It is not | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
possible. At the moment after I have spent all my money on bills and food | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
I have about ?10 left, so I have to do council tax now. It is not | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
possible. It is not great, especially this area. The | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
demographic in terms of income and everything, it is not the highest in | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
the UK, so it will affect these areas the most. Can you afford to | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
pay more? Who can? But we have no choice. Battered Labour run council | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
has already had to save over ?100 million and is meeting to set the | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
budget for next year. We will not be able to do what we have done in the | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
past, we cannot do what we are doing now. It will change the face of | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
local government. The weather in Bradford was claimed today, perhaps | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
reflecting the mood inside City Hall to. `` tonight. Later in look North: | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
Ambitious plans for an abandoned railway tunnel. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Could it be saved from ruin and turned into Europe's largest | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
underground cycle path? Next tonight, the heartbreaking | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
story of a young mum from Doncaster who spent most of her life trying, | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
and failing, to beat her addiction to drugs and alcohol. | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Shelley Emmonds from Hexthorpe died two weeks ago from pneumonia brought | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
on by liver disease. Her funeral was today and now her family wants to | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
share her story in the hope that it will warn others about the dangers | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
of addiction. And, they're being supported by the Amy Winehouse | :09:47. | :09:58. | |
Foundation. Kate Bradbrook reports. Preparing for a funeral she hoped | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
never to see. Hamm lost her 33`year`old daughter, Shelley | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Emmonds, the weeks ago after a lifetime of heroin addiction. She | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
was of it quite a few times and when she had her children I thought that | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
meets do it. Then it led to alcohol, in the last few years, and that has | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
been really worse than the drugs. It went downhill. It was hard to watch, | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
but matter what he said you could not really stop someone doing it | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
unless they wanted to stop themselves. Whilst Shelley Emmonds | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
may not have been famous her battle with addiction mirrors that of Amy | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
Wayne Harris. The galley award`winning singer who died at the | :10:42. | :10:56. | |
age of 20. `` 27. Now, the Amy Wine house foundation is supporting | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Shelley's family who are fundraising to pay for her funeral which takes | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
place today. We have the money, but we still go through the same party | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
that any other family does. They have been great. `` still go through | :11:10. | :11:20. | |
the same heart ache. As her family say a final farewell today they hope | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
Shelley Emmonds's story could persuade others to seek help before | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
it is too late. Stop and think about what you are doing. It is not just | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
to yourself what to those around you. Thing about what you are | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
leaving behind. They never think it will happen to them but it does. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Everyone thinks it would happen to them. | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
The girl who died after apparently falling from a window at her home in | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Bradford on Tuesday morning has been named as Amrita Kaur. She was | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
22`months`old. The child's mother, who's 46, was found unconscious | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
beside her daughter behind their home in West Bowling. She's been | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
arrested on suspicion of murdering Amrita but remains critically ill in | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
hospital. Police say they're not looking for anyone else in | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
connection with the incident. Two men who were arrested yesterday | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
on suspicion of murdering a car dealer from Bradford have been | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
released on bail. Sajid Saddique hasn't been seen since he | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
disappeared from Shipley seven years ago. The bailed men are aged 48 and | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
52 and are both from Bradford. Three of our Bishops are among forty | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Christian leaders calling on the Government to end what they're | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
calling a "hunger crisis". They claim a rising number of people now | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
rely on food banks. The criticism of spending cuts and benefits changes | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
which came from the Bishops of Wakefield, Sheffield and Doncaster | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
was made in a letter to the Daily Mirror newspaper. The Government has | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
responded saying it would be wrong not to cut waste while still | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
providing a safety net for the most needy. | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
A former editor of Look North has died at the age of 78. Martin Noble | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
took up the post in 1968, when the programme first started broadcasting | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
from Leeds. He went to Giggleswick School in North Yorkshire and | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
started his journalism career at the Manchester Evening News and the | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
Daily Telegraph. Martin was made an 'Honorary Member' of Huddersfield | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Rugby Union Club for his contribution to the sport. His | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
funeral will take place in Brockholes next month. | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
Now then, Harry, you've been spending plenty of your time on two | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
wheels just lately but how would you fancy pedalling through a one and a | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
half mile long tunnel? I suppose if it has an inkling then it would be | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
great. A good place to have a sweat and a recovery and a recovery and | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
take`off when no one can see. Well the good news is Europe's | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
longest underground cycleway could be built right here in Yorkshire. | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
The charity Sus`trans wants the abandoned railway tunnel in | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Queensbury to be reopened and converted into a cycle path. But | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
it's a race against time, because it needs expensive repairs and there | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
are fears its owners might fill it with concrete. Here's Spencer | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Stokes. Imagine cycling into this ` a deep, | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
dark hole that links Bradford with Calderdale. If you see there, the | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
stonework has collapsed. Closed for 60 years, reopening it for cyclists | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
would be an epic task. But a group of Queensbury residents are | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
determined it will happen. It's a difficult one, because you can hear | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
the water running in it at the moment. There are all sorts of | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
complicated watercourses that do make it more of a challenge. Much of | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the old great Northern Railway that ran towards the tunnel has already | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
been converted into the popular Great Northern Trail, crossing | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
Thorton viaduct ` another structure that was once believed to be beyond | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
reuse. It has been a success. They say it would never happen but it | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
has. The tunnel at the moment, will not happen tomorrow but, you know, | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
five years ago the idea of a Tour de France starting in Yorkshire, never | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
thought that would happen but it is happening. But would people want to | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
pedal through the damp and dark? They are already doing that | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
elsewhere in Yorkshire. Last year, this tunnel was reopened to | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
cyclists. It is much shorter than the one at Queensbury ` only 200 | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
metres long ` but it does show how Victorian infrastructure can be | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
renewed and reused. Queensbury's 1.5`mile tunnel is owned by the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
Highway Agency, who say they are making plans to carry out | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
maintenance work. But the work is subject to funding. Campaigners fear | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
it could be sealed forever, and the situation is not helped by the | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Halifax end of the tunnel being submerged, under 40 feet of water. | :15:25. | :15:37. | |
This is a very significant railway structure. It took four years to | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
build, nine or ten men died during the construction. If the Highways | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Agency is going to spend ?3.5 million on what is effectively a | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
black hole, it will be nice to think that at the end of the day, the | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
public could get some benefit from that. If it's blocked up with | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
concrete and sealed, then there is no benefit. Queensbury tunnel could | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
be viewed as a liability ` in which case, it will be filled in. But | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
locally, it is seen as an asset ` a former railway that could become | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
Europe's longest underground cycleway. You don't paint a good | :16:06. | :16:19. | |
picture of me on a bike! That was me, not you! | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
Before seven o'clock: The Yorkshire bands being given thousands of | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
pounds of Government cash. Will it help them break into the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
American market? And the 18`stone folk singer who's | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
determined to run a marathon in memory of his heroic ancestor. | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
Football now and we only had one match last night but it was a | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
significant one. Sheffield United won again, this time in the League | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
at Gillingham. And it's a victory which puts yet more positive energy | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
into the rest of the Blades' season. Paul Ogden reports. | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
It's been a fortnight to treasure for Sheffield United. During it, | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
they have beaten one Premier League and one championship team, plus two | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
now from their own League One. The latest victory came last night down | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
at Gillingham, thanks to this single goal in the first half from Conor | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Coady, to secure what Blades' manager Nigel Clough described as | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
"the best three points of the season". With good reason ` because | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
having spent far too long in the League One relegation zone already, | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Sheffield United can at last look down on it again for now. If United | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
do end up playing neighbours Sheffield Wednesday next week in the | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
quarter cup finals in two weeks time, the Blades' could be the | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
in`form team at this rate. That will be a fantastic match. The Sheffield | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
derby. Meanwhile Sheffield Wednesday's head | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
coach Stuart Gray says Gary Madine is feeling "very remorseful" now | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
that he's been released from prison. The 23`year`old striker is out on | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
licence after serving four months of an 18 month sentence for punching | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
two men in separate nightclub attacks in Sheffield. Madine's | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
future will be discussed at a meeting next week but Gray's told us | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
today that he's already visited the player in prison and Madine is sorry | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
for his actions. Very remorseful, very apologetic. He realises that he | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
has been a silly boy and has done his time. He is looking forward to | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
getting the bits back on. Team GB freestyle skier Emma | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
Lonsdale from North Yorkshire has just missed out on the Olympic | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
finals this afternoon. She completed two impressive runs in the Sochi | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
halfpipe, but sadly her tricks and twists were just not quite big | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
enough to finish in the top 12, and therefore qualify for the final. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
After the event, the 29`year`old from Settle said it was fun and | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
nerve`racking and she hoped her family were proud. Emma also managed | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
a tribute to her injured team`mate Rowan Cheshire, who was forced to | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
pull out of the same event after suffering a concussion. We have | :18:58. | :19:09. | |
rugby league action tonight, a big match in super league between | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
Whitfield in Bradford. Now, we all know that here in | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
Yorkshire we have some fantastic musical talent and its fair to say | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
that its been a fairly remarkable twenty four hours for our music | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
scene hasn't it? It certainly has. Last night at the BRIT Awards | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys took Best British Band and Best Album, the | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
third time they have done the double at the ceremony. And hard on the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
heels of that the government's handed out thousands of pounds in | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
grants to three other acts to help them promote themselves worldwide. | :19:35. | :19:43. | |
Shamir Masri can tell you more. Yorkshire's most successful musical | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
export made history last night winning Best British band and album | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
for the third time. A lot has changed within the music industry in | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
the last decade since the Arctic monkeys formed. Now there is very | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
little money invested. But today, the bands with local links have been | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
given government funding to help break into foreign markets, in | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
particular the US. Drench from Castleton in North Castle sure are | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
making waves. The headline a sold`out venue in London and have | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
been given ?20,000. Hold cellphone who are based in Leeds have been | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
awarded 15,000. The money is to Vermont in North America which means | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
we can take them over and play in South by South West in March and | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
hopefully later in the year and it has just provided us with the | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
investment to do this in a way that he would not have been able to do | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
otherwise. Decertified to benefit are the crooks from Sheffield. The | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
20,000 pounds they have received will fund an up tour of Texas and | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Los Angeles. We have had a lot of demand to go out, but we have not | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
been able to do it. The fact that we can get there and do these things | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
and achieve these things that have been in the pipeline for so long | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
means we can realise what we have been trying to do for a while now. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
UK music exports are said to be worth over ?1 billion per year to | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
the economy. It is why our trade in `` it is why our trade bodies are so | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
keen to promote her music. The human league, Jarvis Cocker, I think the | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
acts that we are talking about now, drench and the crux will take off | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
and I think they can succeed where many others have been before. Now | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
only time will tell if the banks benefiting from today's announcement | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
can break international markets and continue our global reputation for | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
musical excellence. Back at the Tramway in the deadly very | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
impressive set for us, the crooks, in Devonshire Green. Shall we get | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
back into your comfort zone? Now here's a story close to your | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
heart, Harry. Places for this year's Yorkshire marathon were snapped up | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
within minutes of being made available and everyone taking part | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
has their own reason for running. Yes and for York's Dan Webster it's | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
a more sizeable challenge than for many, and the reason for taking it | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
on is quite a story too. Here's Danny Carpenter. | :22:35. | :22:51. | |
Daniel Webster is well`known around York, a musician who plays the pubs | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
and clubs as well as running a regular singers night. It is a | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
lifestyle he loves. But there is an almost inevitable downside. All | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
those names in the pub, working, have put pounds on his waistline. | :23:11. | :23:20. | |
Quite a lot of pounds. 18 stone ten. He is going to run the Yorkshire | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
Marathon this year. But his incentive is not just losing pounds. | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
It is raising them for the way for charity. Frank Dobson was a | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
Scarborough fishermen and lifeboat man. He was also dans great grandad. | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
In the early hours of the foulest of December days he got the call. After | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
rescuing ten people from the stricken freighter in dual force | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
winds, telling sees, he jumped back to the lifeboat. Clutched at the | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
side real, and was crushed when a wave smashed the two vessels | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
together. The idea of snow and Gilles, heading out to sea, and even | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
the running and in tribute is, although I am not naturally bill for | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
running, it has to be said, I can, and that kind of bravery. In the | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
marathon is meant as a tribute, like the song, to remain people to keep | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
the story alive. `` to remind people. | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
Incredible. That is a story we must follow all the way through. Did you | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
take a place in the marathon? I passed with year. | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
Give him a break! You will be very interested to know | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
we have some the stakes from the Met office, the wettest winter on record | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
for the UK, record straight back to 1910. For our part of the world we | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
have had probably 100 or a more rainfall in some parts of Yorkshire, | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
the deals, the Pennington, it was not really a surprise! But it is | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
official, the wettest winter on record. Let's look at some photo | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
action. The first one, a colourful sky in Whitby. The second, Eastwick | :25:23. | :25:34. | |
near York. I am very sorry, it is a script. We had lots of pictures of | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
rainbows, too. The third one is a picture of some sheep because they | :25:42. | :25:51. | |
were enjoying the sunshine. Paul the weatherman there have been many | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
changes in the past 24 hours, it is cooler and easier and tomorrow it | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
will be another breezy day with sunny spells and a few showers. It | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
has been quite a breezy day, you can see the isobars are once again more | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
tightly packed and wind will be a feature of the weather wrecked the | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
way through the course of the weekend. You can see that this | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
swathe of clouds, this rain brings cooler conditions today but behind | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
the cloud has broken. We have some very pleasant spells of sunshine | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
today. Some of the showers were heavy and family especially in the | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
deals. Generally, we are looking at dry conditions and cooler than last | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
night with a touch of frost in sheltered temperatures, dropping | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
down to around one or two degrees. The sun will rise in the morning, at | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
about 40 minutes past seven and setting at 5:27pm. It is a cold | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
start to the data model, but that does not look too bad. It will be | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
blustery and windy but there will be dry and bright weather with further | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
spells of sunshine as you can see from the graphics. Some showers | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
pushing through from the West once again and they could be heavy. It | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
could be quite when the on high ground. There will be decent spells | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
of sunshine in between. Temperatures back to the seasonal average of | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
seven or eight days. As I mentioned it will be windy through the course | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
of the weekend, on balance Saturday looks like the better day. It will | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
be mild on Sunday but windy with a mix of rain spreading from the West. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Did you miss as well you were away, Harry? Very much. | :27:33. | :27:40. | |
The clock is ticking, as they say. Talking of which back tonight. | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
Goodbye. | :27:43. | :27:44. |
