:00:11. > :00:16.Welcome to Look North On thd programme tonight: Embarrassment for
:00:17. > :00:19.the City of York Council, as a tribunal rules it may have `cted
:00:20. > :00:21.unlawfully in fining drivers who broke the controversial Lendal
:00:22. > :00:24.Bridge traffic ban The Council issued more than ?1 million worth of
:00:25. > :00:27.fines. We'll be getting thehr response to the tribunal's findings.
:00:28. > :00:32.Also tonight: Health warnings as air pollution levels in Yorkshire reach
:00:33. > :00:34.potentially dangerous levels. And star of stage and screen, Robert
:00:35. > :00:40.Powell, tells us about his new role as Belgium's famous detective.
:00:41. > :00:44.Being a French agentor means you can get away with murder ` in a French
:00:45. > :00:49.accent. Well, a beautiful afternoon. This
:00:50. > :01:01.was Grassington a few hours ago Join me for that detailed forecast.
:01:02. > :01:03.Good evening and welcome to Tuesday's programme. There's
:01:04. > :01:06.embarrassment for York Council tonight, after it emerged that it
:01:07. > :01:10.might have acted unlawfully, by issuing more than ?1 million worth
:01:11. > :01:13.of fines to motorists who drove over Lendal Bridge and on Coppergate
:01:14. > :01:16.during a controversial trial. One motorist appealed against hhs fixed
:01:17. > :01:20.penalty notice and was told by a tribunal that the council h`d "no
:01:21. > :01:27.power" to issue penalties. So why was the trial introduced? Charlotte
:01:28. > :01:31.has the details. You may remember the Council banned
:01:32. > :01:34.general traffic from using Lendel Bridge and Coppergate during much of
:01:35. > :01:38.the day, as part of a six`month trial to cut congestion in the city
:01:39. > :01:42.centre. During that time ne`rly 60,000 drivers have been fined.
:01:43. > :01:48.Motorists fined more than ?0. 3 million. It's generated ?700,00 for
:01:49. > :01:52.the Council but today's rulhng throws the whole trial into
:01:53. > :01:56.question. Our reporter, Danny Carpenter is at Lendel Bridge for us
:01:57. > :02:01.tonight. What does today's ruling mean? Well, essentially, wh`t this
:02:02. > :02:06.is about is what does and does not constitute a bus lane. If you have
:02:07. > :02:08.been one of many thousands of drivers who have been over the
:02:09. > :02:14.bridge during the day, what happens next, is you get a letter through
:02:15. > :02:17.the post accusing you of violating a bus lane but what today's rtling has
:02:18. > :02:21.said is that there are so m`ny exemptions and so many vehicles who
:02:22. > :02:24.are allowed on the bridge dtring the day, effectively it is not ` bus
:02:25. > :02:31.lane at all and therefore the council doesn't have the power to
:02:32. > :02:34.fine you for going in it thd tribunal was also extremely critical
:02:35. > :02:38.about the signage around thd bus lane saying it was inadequate and in
:02:39. > :02:42.some places confusing and on top of that, it describes the way the
:02:43. > :02:46.Council has handled appeals against fines, as a lottery. Everyone will
:02:47. > :02:51.want to know what have the council got to say about all this. H managed
:02:52. > :02:56.to grab a few worded with the Council leader, James Alexander on
:02:57. > :03:00.the phone. He told me he was surprised. I have also interviewed
:03:01. > :03:03.Darren Richardson, the officer responsible for the trial. He told
:03:04. > :03:12.me they are seeking legal advice and until then, they are carrying on as
:03:13. > :03:14.normal. The difficulties, from many adudicated decisions the authority
:03:15. > :03:20.has received. We have tolikd at what they are and if we to challdnge
:03:21. > :03:25.them. `` to look at what thdy are. And then get a view. So we don't
:03:26. > :03:29.accept it. In your view, tolorrow morning if I I were to drivd over
:03:30. > :03:34.the bridge, would you issue an enforcement notice? And would I have
:03:35. > :03:37.to pay? You certainly would. Enforcement and fines continue. It
:03:38. > :03:40.is a serious matter we are looking into. That's why we need to get
:03:41. > :03:43.legal advice to check it is right but we will continue to enforce
:03:44. > :03:48.What does this mean for all the motorists who have paid hundreds of
:03:49. > :03:51.thousands of pounds? Well, while everything else is up in thd air
:03:52. > :03:55.after today's ruling, that, I'm afraid has been dealt with puite
:03:56. > :04:00.firmly. Every single ticket is dealt with as a separate case. If you paid
:04:01. > :04:11.your fine, that case is now closed. And there will be no retrospective
:04:12. > :04:15.refunds. Thank you very much. Next tonight: For the past two d`ys
:04:16. > :04:18.Yorkshire has been experiencing very high levels of air pollution,
:04:19. > :04:21.leading campaigners to call for much clearer warnings about the potential
:04:22. > :04:25.dangers to health. At times the levels in cities like Leeds and
:04:26. > :04:28.Sheffield have been almost twice the safe limit set by the Europdan
:04:29. > :04:32.Union. Our Health Correspondent Jamie Coulson, reports. It lay have
:04:33. > :04:35.been a bright day in Leeds but recently across Yorkshire, the air
:04:36. > :04:39.may not have been as fresh `s you think. If you looked at the skyline
:04:40. > :04:42.over the past couple of days, you will have noticed it is Hazdl. What
:04:43. > :04:47.you are looking at there is air pollution. And in some of otr towns
:04:48. > :04:51.and cities, the levels have been well`above the safe limits set by
:04:52. > :04:55.the European Union. The Govdrnment rates levels of air pollution on an
:04:56. > :05:00.index between one and ten, with one being the lowest and ten thd
:05:01. > :05:03.highest. Last Friday levels no Yorkshire and the Humber were
:05:04. > :05:08.moderate but as the weekend progressed, they intensified until
:05:09. > :05:12.reaching very high levels on Sunday, which lasted into Monday. Over the
:05:13. > :05:17.course of today, they have dipped. But, still remain high. This
:05:18. > :05:20.pollution is coming from northern Europe, continental European and
:05:21. > :05:25.being brought across the North Sea. Experts say some of the pollution
:05:26. > :05:29.has been blown from noe frol Europe whilst some is down to local
:05:30. > :05:35.emissions. This is mixed with dust being blown over the Sahara and
:05:36. > :05:40.trapped over Yorkshire by rdlatively still conditions. In the region and
:05:41. > :05:45.in cities like Leeds and Shdffield we are seeing small concentrations
:05:46. > :05:48.of mrarls in the atmosphere, which are exceeding the safe limit put
:05:49. > :05:51.down by the European Union `nd in those cities we are seeing
:05:52. > :05:55.concentrations almost doubld the amount set down in that limht.
:05:56. > :05:59.Public health England say most people shouldn't be affected by
:06:00. > :06:02.short`term peaks in air pollution but that some with heart or lung
:06:03. > :06:07.problems may need to take precautions. For 84`year`old Eileen
:06:08. > :06:12.King, who suffers with severe asthma, it can be restrictive When
:06:13. > :06:19.there are certain weather conditions, such as very cold or
:06:20. > :06:25.high air pollution, then I have to limit my visit to go outsidd. I have
:06:26. > :06:31.been recommended by my GP not to be out for more than 15 minutes.
:06:32. > :06:36.Generally the public are poorly warned about these events. We think
:06:37. > :06:40.there needs to be a format, similar to that of floods and height wae.s
:06:41. > :06:48.it is important people understand the risk. `` of and heat waves.
:06:49. > :06:52.The Government says they have introduced a five`day forec`st
:06:53. > :06:56.service and are investing on tackling the issue. The pollution we
:06:57. > :06:59.have seen over the last few days, is predicted to disperse by thd end of
:07:00. > :07:04.the week. Well, Paul joins us now. Patl, what
:07:05. > :07:09.has caused these high levels of pollution here in Yorkshire? We have
:07:10. > :07:13.had a lot of pollution over the near continent but meteorologically it is
:07:14. > :07:18.unusual to get a severe set`up. We have a wild wint we are strong winds
:07:19. > :07:20.but we have had an inversion on the top of the atmosphere, trapping the
:07:21. > :07:25.home`grown pollution and pollution from the near continent and that
:07:26. > :07:30.deprift south has caused thdse high levels of pollution. `` and that
:07:31. > :07:34.drift from the south. But for the last few months we have not had this
:07:35. > :07:40.set`up. Paul, should there be more warning about pollution? Sedms an
:07:41. > :07:45.anomaly that my job as a broadcast mete Rollings is to give warnings
:07:46. > :07:50.for everything, floods, ice, snow, playings of locusts, but solething
:07:51. > :07:53.like high levels of air pollution is not within my remit. Last nhght I
:07:54. > :07:58.put a warning up on Look North because I had been alerted by Leeds
:07:59. > :08:03.University of the high levels of pollution, and I thought it was in
:08:04. > :08:09.the public interest. It seels to mow it is anomalous and something we
:08:10. > :08:15.warn of and we should warn people of the high levels of pollution, as we
:08:16. > :08:19.had in Paris a few weeks back. Later on Look North: Should Sheffheld take
:08:20. > :08:23.in refugees from the war in Syria? The Deputy Prime Minister w`des in
:08:24. > :08:24.after Sheffield says it can't afford to provide a temporary home for
:08:25. > :08:34.victims of the civil war. The jury at the new inquest in to
:08:35. > :08:38.the 96 Hillsborough victims has been hearing a minute by minute `ccount
:08:39. > :08:41.of how the disaster unfolded. The coroner has asked some pointed
:08:42. > :08:43.questions about the role of Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield,
:08:44. > :08:46.the South Yorkshire police commander in charge of the match. Our Crime
:08:47. > :08:52.Correspondent, John Cundy, hs outside the inquest building in
:08:53. > :08:59.Warrington. Tom, what has bden taking place today? Well, Phil, Lord
:09:00. > :09:03.Justice Goldring told the jtry they have to decide how the 96 Lhverpool
:09:04. > :09:08.fans died. The original inqtest verdicts of accidental death having
:09:09. > :09:11.been quashed. He said they would be looking in a major way at the role
:09:12. > :09:14.of the police and their control of the match that day and the response
:09:15. > :09:18.of the emergency services as the tragedy unfolded.
:09:19. > :09:25.What has been said about thd role of the emergency services, then? Well,
:09:26. > :09:30.first of all, Lord Justice Goldring said, "The attitude of the police in
:09:31. > :09:35.1989 seemed to be, let the fans find their own levels on the terraces."
:09:36. > :09:38.He went on to say, "As the tragedy unfolded, neither the policd or
:09:39. > :09:41.emergency services seemed to appreciate the scale of what was
:09:42. > :09:45.happening." He said they should have done, they were trained to respond
:09:46. > :09:48.to something like that. He talked about the appointment of thd David
:09:49. > :09:52.Duckenfield to be the match Commander, he said the jury might
:09:53. > :09:56.want to consider whether it was a sensible appointment when hd had no
:09:57. > :10:01.experience of conducting large crowds. He talked the jury through
:10:02. > :10:05.the minutes of the tragedy built`up. Three times Mr Dukken field was
:10:06. > :10:08.asked to open the exit gates to relieve congestion. He finally said
:10:09. > :10:12.` if there is likely to be ` serious injury or death, I have no option,
:10:13. > :10:16.open the gate. Then the coroner went on to ask ` why did he go on to
:10:17. > :10:20.blame Liverpool fans for brdaking the door down, the coroner said
:10:21. > :10:24.there was no question of th`t, so why did he say what he did? And
:10:25. > :10:27.John, what is likely to happen tomorrow? The judge will colplete
:10:28. > :10:31.his opening statement to. Hd left the jury with these thoughts
:10:32. > :10:36.overnight. He said, "Over the coming days, you will hear much more about
:10:37. > :10:39.those who died. It will makd extremely moving accounts. We are
:10:40. > :10:46.dealing with very many human tragedies."
:10:47. > :10:49.Many thanks. In other news now, and the mother of a murdered Ledds
:10:50. > :10:52.teenager plans to make an official complaint to West Yorkshire police
:10:53. > :10:56.over the failure to track down a suspect. 16`year`old Tyrone Clarke
:10:57. > :10:59.was beaten and stabbed to ddath by a gang in Beeston in 2004. Fotr men
:11:00. > :11:04.are serving life sentences for the murder. Qasim Majid is still wanted
:11:05. > :11:07.by the police. He's thought to be in Pakistan and it's now emergdd that
:11:08. > :11:13.he's managed to get a new British passport.
:11:14. > :11:17.I mean how do you have somebody on Britain's Most Wanted Crimewatch and
:11:18. > :11:21.wanted for murder and he don't flag up. It is not the Passport Office,
:11:22. > :11:24.it is not their fault. They have checked their data base, thdy have
:11:25. > :11:29.done their job. It's the police that haven't done theirs. I am going to
:11:30. > :11:36.put a complaint in. For ten years of stress, what it has caused le and my
:11:37. > :11:39.family. The coroner in Scarborough has recorded three verdicts of
:11:40. > :11:44.accidental death at the inqtest into a head`on crash in November. The
:11:45. > :11:47.three victims of the crash, at Wharram Percy near Pickering,
:11:48. > :11:51.included a mother and her tdenage son. They were all Polish pdople who
:11:52. > :11:54.worked at the Malton bacon factory. They were driving to work e`rly in
:11:55. > :11:57.the morning when their car collided with a van.
:11:58. > :11:59.Two new super councils have been created today aimed at bringing jobs
:12:00. > :12:02.and economic growth to Yorkshire. West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire
:12:03. > :12:05.Combined Authorities have bden set up to work together to develop
:12:06. > :12:12.transport and the economy across Yorkshire. There have been
:12:13. > :12:16.traditional rivalries, not just between districts but within
:12:17. > :12:19.districts. I think the time has come now to acknowledge we are an
:12:20. > :12:25.economicentity of our own and this being the case, let's make sure that
:12:26. > :12:29.we are smarter in using what limited resources that are availabld and
:12:30. > :12:36.let's also make sure that wd continue to argue with Government.
:12:37. > :12:43.West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services is issuing a chargd against
:12:44. > :12:46.businesses that repeated repeatedly generate false callouts.
:12:47. > :12:55.Businesses that generate more than three false call`outs in 12 months
:12:56. > :12:59.will now be charged ?350. There's a war of words in Sheffield
:13:00. > :13:04.over the City Council's reftsal to take in victims of the war hn Syria.
:13:05. > :13:07.The Deputy Prime Minister and Sheffield MP, Nick Clegg, s`ys he's
:13:08. > :13:10."very disappointed" that a city which is known for its comp`ssion,
:13:11. > :13:14.won't re`house Syrian refugdes. But, the Council says with so many cuts
:13:15. > :13:19.to its budget, it's been left with no choice. Kate Bradbrook rdports.
:13:20. > :13:23.Over the past three years, lore than 100,000 people have lost thdir lives
:13:24. > :13:28.in Syria. And 9 million havd been forced from their homes, since the
:13:29. > :13:32.conflict began. Earlier this year, the Government here promised to do
:13:33. > :13:36.more to assist. We will be coming forward with a scheme to help the
:13:37. > :13:41.most needy people in those refugee camps and offer them a home in our
:13:42. > :13:47.country. Sheffield was one of the cities asked to take Syrian
:13:48. > :13:51.refugees. In 2007, it was n`med City of Santurary and said it takes pride
:13:52. > :13:57.in welcoming asylum seekers. But this time the council has s`id no. I
:13:58. > :14:02.think they are just plainly wrong. I think most fair`minded people would
:14:03. > :14:06.think ` even if the Council decides they cannot take in 50, which is by
:14:07. > :14:11.the way the number going to Bradford, if Bradford can do it why
:14:12. > :14:18.can't we do it in Sheffield. Even if it is not 50, take in five, seven,
:14:19. > :14:21.ten. Some of the most distrdssed and traumatised women and children who
:14:22. > :14:25.need refuge. Sheffield Council says its doors are still open but that
:14:26. > :14:29.the Government needs to stulp up the cash. We can't continue to `bsorb
:14:30. > :14:35.these costs. It's completelx unfair. I mean we are facing huge ctts to
:14:36. > :14:40.our budgets which be communhties rely on the services we provide and
:14:41. > :14:43.to house some of the most vtlnerable people in communities that need
:14:44. > :14:47.support, would just compound the problem. But, on the streets of
:14:48. > :14:51.Sheffield today, the issue divided opinion. Money is being redtced and
:14:52. > :14:58.re`Dawesed. There are no services. It is a very difficult question I
:14:59. > :15:02.think. We don't want any more. This country is bursting at the seams. We
:15:03. > :15:06.don't need any more. There has to be a way. Especially if it can be
:15:07. > :15:10.controlled, not saying take thousands, maybe if it is jtst 0.
:15:11. > :15:14.It's unclear how many refugdes are heading for Britain and with budgets
:15:15. > :15:24.across the country under prdssure, how many of them will end up here in
:15:25. > :15:32.Yorkshire. Don't go wandering off. Coming up: going back in tile. We
:15:33. > :15:37.have been at Bolsover Castld and they are about to re`open after rest
:15:38. > :15:44.storing. Can you believe all this was somebody's weekend repe`t ``
:15:45. > :15:47.retreat. And we've been talking to actor Robert Powell, as he takes to
:15:48. > :15:57.We will find out more later. It s famous detective.
:15:58. > :16:00.We will find out more later. It s one of the jewels in our region s
:16:01. > :16:03.crown. And this week Bolsovdr Castle in North Derbyshire re`opens for the
:16:04. > :16:07.summer, after ?1 million makeover. English Heritage has restordd the
:16:08. > :16:09.little castle in the centre of the grounds and rebuilt a raised
:16:10. > :16:13.walkway. Our reporter, James Vincent, has been one of thd first
:16:14. > :16:17.people to walk on it for ovdr two centuries. He is at the castle now.
:16:18. > :16:21.James, it is all yours. As xou can seeks Phil, a stunning evenhng here
:16:22. > :16:25.in North Derbyshire at the loment. It's been demrorous all day it
:16:26. > :16:29.Bolsover. It is a good job. The castle really has been the star of
:16:30. > :16:36.the show. It was built in the 1 00s. As you say it has been refitted with
:16:37. > :16:41.?1 million of enEnglish Herhtage's money. This is the courtyard of the
:16:42. > :16:45.Little Castle. It was essentially something for the weekend. The
:16:46. > :16:47.public will get to see it on Friday. But today we've had a sneakx peek
:16:48. > :17:02.through that red door. English Heritage is hoping the work
:17:03. > :17:05.it has done here at Bolsover Castle will not only increase visitor
:17:06. > :17:11.numbers but unlock the secrdts of this place's past. William Cavendish
:17:12. > :17:15.built it as his weekend get`way and somewhere to train horses. He is
:17:16. > :17:20.known as the father of dressage This is a very important part of what we
:17:21. > :17:23.wanted to offer to the publhc coming to Bolsover, to understand his
:17:24. > :17:28.personal yant the breadth of what he achieved in his life and thd way he
:17:29. > :17:34.contributed as a great patron of the art as well as a playboy and the
:17:35. > :17:37.lover of pleasure and delightful company. ?1. 3 million has helped
:17:38. > :17:41.restore the high walk around the castle gardens It is great to know
:17:42. > :17:45.nobody has walked along herd for nearly 250 years. No, it is the fist
:17:46. > :17:51.time we have been able to open it to the public. The views from what is
:17:52. > :17:58.known here as the Little Castle are incredible. William Cavendish didn't
:17:59. > :18:03.live here. He lived seven mhles away at Wellbeck Abbey. He built Bolsover
:18:04. > :18:07.Castle surely for pleasure. One pleasure was flowers. The original
:18:08. > :18:11.17th century gardens were rdsearched for the rest organisation and they
:18:12. > :18:18.have tried to recreate them. `` restoration. A whole lot of plants
:18:19. > :18:22.had been introduced into thd gardens. Called Outlandish Plants at
:18:23. > :18:26.the time. Because they came from a different land and this
:18:27. > :18:32.revolutionised Spring Gardens. This is a story we can tell at Bolsover.
:18:33. > :18:35.An historic visit for place now but this was the cutting edge of 17th
:18:36. > :18:40.century fashion and culture. Now you can see the old and new at
:18:41. > :18:44.Bolsover Castle. The old, original fountain from the 1600s, thd new
:18:45. > :18:48.gardens and new walkway along the side and all the new stuff hnside
:18:49. > :18:54.the Little Castle. Great renovations to be done. The public get hn on
:18:55. > :19:01.Friday. One of the two words I have learned today, that qinilathon.
:19:02. > :19:05.Don't call it a ram part, they will get annoyed. Nice for a weekend
:19:06. > :19:10.retreat. I thought William Cavendish was looking sprightly for a man of
:19:11. > :19:17.his age. I wonder what spacd cream he uses.
:19:18. > :19:20.Now, he made his name playing the lead role in Franco Zeffirelli's
:19:21. > :19:24.1977 film Jesus of Nazareth. My mother loved that one.
:19:25. > :19:27.His piercing blue eyes. He's also starred alongside the comedhan
:19:28. > :19:30.Japser Carrot in the spoof TV sitcom The Detectives and is the voice of
:19:31. > :19:33.numerous commercials and documentaries.
:19:34. > :19:36.Robert Powell is appearing `s Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie's
:19:37. > :19:41.Black Coffee at York's Grand Opera House. Earlier today I managed to
:19:42. > :19:48.grab a few minutes with him, to ask about the production. Murder
:19:49. > :19:52.mystery. Poirot called in to investigate the theft of a document
:19:53. > :19:56.and on his arrival, the person who has called him in toll investigate
:19:57. > :20:03.the theft is murdered. `` to investigate. The role of Hercule
:20:04. > :20:06.Poirot was most famously portrayed by David Suchet in the television
:20:07. > :20:10.adaptation. Were you conscious when you took on this role that laybe
:20:11. > :20:13.there was a certain expectation among the audience as to wh`t they
:20:14. > :20:18.might get? I have a feeling there probably was. You cannot go as an
:20:19. > :20:22.actor worrying about that too much. Otherwise you will never pl`y
:20:23. > :20:27.anything. I mean Hamlet has been done before. I have never sden David
:20:28. > :20:32.a do it. For personal reasons, it is not my taste ` if you like. He is
:20:33. > :20:37.wonderful, brilliant but thd show, itself, was not my taste. It is too
:20:38. > :20:42.slow and too boring. I never read a Christie book, either. But ly
:20:43. > :20:47.daughter handed me one and H discovered that Christie can really
:20:48. > :20:52.write. How difficult or how easy was it to perfect that distincthve
:20:53. > :20:56.Belgium/French accent? Not difficult. To be honest with you, I
:20:57. > :21:01.do accents. I have always h`ve done since I was a killed. I can do
:21:02. > :21:04.mimicry and this kind of thhng. So that was really falling off a log
:21:05. > :21:08.and fairly straightforward, really, to be honest. Great fun, though
:21:09. > :21:14.terrific to be able to walk around with a funny voice. Not funny, but
:21:15. > :21:19.my voice but with IN A FRENCH ACCENT but with a French be a Septdmber, it
:21:20. > :21:24.means you can get away with murder. Our older viewers will remelber you
:21:25. > :21:32.for the role that arguably lade your name, Jesus of nas in the l`te 70s.
:21:33. > :21:36.Our younger viewers will know you as Mark from Holtby City. Whitd a
:21:37. > :21:40.contrast in range there, isn't there? That has been my plan,
:21:41. > :21:45.really. If I had a career plan, it was always to duck and weavd and bob
:21:46. > :21:51.and dive. Always to please le, not other people. Fifs happy dohng a
:21:52. > :21:55.part, I reckoned I would do it well. I chose stuff that would entertain
:21:56. > :22:00.me. A Lancashire lad playing in York, for the first time, I believe
:22:01. > :22:03.First time in York. It is great Funny you should say that. H have a
:22:04. > :22:10.feeling over the last few ydars I worked it out, nearly always, I
:22:11. > :22:14.played detectives as with mx own accent. And I thought ` do `ll those
:22:15. > :22:18.producers out there think I talk like this? Natural, the younger
:22:19. > :22:23.actors peep through the curtains and look out and say ` God, it hs full,
:22:24. > :22:27.they are all grey. That's mx audience. Ours too. A pleastre to
:22:28. > :22:32.meet you. I really enjoyed that. Such a lovely
:22:33. > :22:38.fellow. A lovely French accdnt. I only speak northern, you see.
:22:39. > :22:46.Because they speak French and Flemish in Belgium, not Belgium
:22:47. > :22:50.The Grand Opera House where that's being staged was packed to the
:22:51. > :22:56.rafters. A great provincial theatre. Right, air pollution earlier.
:22:57. > :23:01.A forecast for that to. But first the good news.
:23:02. > :23:06.It felt like spring today after a fairly grey start. This is the first
:23:07. > :23:10.picture above Grassington. Ht sums it up nicely.
:23:11. > :23:16.The next one, this is beauthful Look at the cherry blossom on the
:23:17. > :23:21.Grove in Ilkley. A lovely afternoon there. The third, this was the fog
:23:22. > :23:25.and the mist that was just `bout cleared in scar bru. That w`s taken
:23:26. > :23:29.this morning. Scarborough h`s seen temperatures of around 12 or 13 this
:23:30. > :23:34.afternoon, with just an onshore breeze. I think that onshord breeze
:23:35. > :23:36.will become a feature along the coast in the next couple of days.
:23:37. > :23:46.Keep your pictures coming in: Let's look at the air pollution
:23:47. > :23:51.forecast. Things did improvd today. Largely because we had rain
:23:52. > :23:53.overnight but we'll drag in an east to south`easterly again tomorrow.
:23:54. > :23:57.That means southern parts of our area, in particular into Derbyshire,
:23:58. > :24:02.the pollution levels will bd very high. Further north, less pollution
:24:03. > :24:07.but still elevated levels. So that's the forecast for Wednesday. By
:24:08. > :24:11.Friday and into the weekend, a west to south`westerly back. Much cleaner
:24:12. > :24:15.air from the Atlantic. The Weatherheadline for tomorrow: An
:24:16. > :24:21.improving one. Low cloud around at fist, some hill fog and coastal fog
:24:22. > :24:24.but most areas away from thd Yorkshire coastline should hmprove
:24:25. > :24:27.with sunny breaks. This little weak front may well bring patchy rain
:24:28. > :24:32.first thing tomorrow morning but that will move away and most places
:24:33. > :24:35.look set to become dry. Now there is the weather front that brought the
:24:36. > :24:38.heavy rain at first light this morning. That's out of the way. We
:24:39. > :24:43.have had one or two isolated showers but the evening is fine, very
:24:44. > :24:48.pleasant indeed, before long we will see coastal fog developing `long the
:24:49. > :24:54.coast, where else? Inland wd'll see low cloud and upslope fog for the
:24:55. > :24:58.Pennines with a hunt of patchy rain. A few showers into derby Sh`ne Peak
:24:59. > :25:03.District. Lowest temperaturds `` Derbyshire.
:25:04. > :25:08.Lowest temperatures around 4. The sun will rise in the morning at
:25:09. > :25:14.around about 6. 38. The next water time in Scarborough,
:25:15. > :25:17.6. 36am. Radio grey start just about
:25:18. > :25:21.everywhere. It will be foggx if you are travelling across the M62.
:25:22. > :25:25.Patchy rain inching up the western side. A few spots of rain ftrther
:25:26. > :25:29.east. Then it becomes dry. @ little brighter. Although there is always a
:25:30. > :25:32.risk of one or two showers `cross the Pennines. Most place also
:25:33. > :25:37.brighten up with the excepthon of the coastal strip. A fair v`riation
:25:38. > :25:41.in temperatures. A moderate breeze along the North Yorkshire coastline,
:25:42. > :25:47.pegging temperatures back to 7. Inland around about 10. The best
:25:48. > :25:53.temperatures in South Yorkshire 14 or 15 into the North Midlands as
:25:54. > :25:58.well. Looking further ahead, a similar forecast on Thursdax. Low
:25:59. > :26:01.cloud it brightens later. Friday, patchy rain, brighter later.
:26:02. > :26:06.Importantly that west to south`westerly will clean the air.
:26:07. > :26:10.I might get the lawnmower ott. That kind of weather.
:26:11. > :26:14.First cut of the season. 1st April. How appropriate. That's all for now.
:26:15. > :26:17.Paul and myself are back for the late bulletin at 10. 25pm. H'll see
:26:18. > :26:18.you Paul and myself are back for the
:26:19. > :26:22.late bulletin at 10. 25pm. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
