:00:00. > :00:00.Commons has been cleared of rape and other sex charges. Goodbye.

:00:00. > :01:15.First tonight, a brief stay of execution for Kellingley and

:01:16. > :01:18.Thoresby pits. But the Government's offer of a ?10 million loan comes

:01:19. > :01:23.with conditions, agree to their closure in autumn 2015 or the deal

:01:24. > :01:27.is off. The announcement, which means the phased shutdown of two of

:01:28. > :01:30.the UK's last remaining deep mines and the eventual loss of 1,400 jobs,

:01:31. > :01:38.came from the Energy Minister Michael Fallon. We'll hear from him

:01:39. > :01:43.in a moment but first let's go to Phil Bodmer who's at Kellingley

:01:44. > :01:48.Colliery. It has been a tough day all round.

:01:49. > :01:52.Absolutely. That is perhaps an understatement. Just over my right

:01:53. > :01:57.shoulder, you can hap seek the cooling towers of the power station.

:01:58. > :02:03.You can see the Kellingley colliery there. And then there is the washer

:02:04. > :02:09.Irie. Coming further left, you can see the steam coming off the cooling

:02:10. > :02:13.towers off another power station. That is the proximity of the pits to

:02:14. > :02:18.the power station. Every year, they produce 2.1 million tonnes of coal

:02:19. > :02:21.out of here. Tonight, it seems Kellingley was Mac days could be

:02:22. > :02:26.numbered. A fully laden train rumbles by

:02:27. > :02:32.Kellingley colliery on its way to the power station, loaded with

:02:33. > :02:36.imported coal. Around 40% of our energy needs still come from cheap

:02:37. > :02:42.foreign coal. And that is part of the problem. The company which runs

:02:43. > :02:44.Kellingley and Thoresby colliery in Nottinghamshire says it has found

:02:45. > :02:54.trading conditions extremely tough. So, how did we get here? On 29th of

:02:55. > :03:01.March, UK call heels of financial help `` UK Coal appeal for financial

:03:02. > :03:12.help. Then the unions called for the industry to be re`nationalised.

:03:13. > :03:17.Crisis talks followed. Yesterday the Prime Minister said he would do what

:03:18. > :03:18.he could. Today, the government offered a ?10 million loan to allow

:03:19. > :03:24.for a phased shutdown of both pits. offered a ?10 million loan to allow

:03:25. > :03:28.for a It's not a good deal. It results in the closure of two

:03:29. > :03:32.collieries in the loss of 2000 jobs. It is a managed closure, which is

:03:33. > :03:40.not what we were led to believe that David Cameron was looking at, which

:03:41. > :03:44.was a survival plan. And this plan is valid, we believe, and

:03:45. > :03:51.unfortunately, it has fallen on deaf ears. UK Coal says that this offers

:03:52. > :03:58.the company the best outcome. But as one miner told me, it is a stark

:03:59. > :04:05.choice. Face losing your life now or in 18 months' time. So, from

:04:06. > :04:11.difficult decisions `` so, difficult decisions. There is another meeting

:04:12. > :04:15.scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Whatever happens, whatever the

:04:16. > :04:17.outcome, we could be witnessing the death of the once mighty UK Coal

:04:18. > :04:20.industry. Earlier, I asked the Energy Minister

:04:21. > :04:23.Michael Fallon whether conditions attached to the loan meant miners

:04:24. > :04:28.were being asked to sign their own death warrants. We've been asked to

:04:29. > :04:31.help save the mines which would otherwise have the prospect of going

:04:32. > :04:36.into immediate insolvency and closing either tomorrow or next

:04:37. > :04:41.week. We've been asked to help and we are going to help. But why do

:04:42. > :04:44.both need to close by 2015? They are saying they've got enough coal to

:04:45. > :04:48.sustain over the next 20 years. Well, there is nobody prepared to

:04:49. > :04:52.invest in these mines. The company operating these mines sees no

:04:53. > :04:57.long`term future in them. They have looked to find other private sector

:04:58. > :05:00.partners who might come in and help. There is no other interest in

:05:01. > :05:05.prolonging the life of these mines beyond 2015. It's not a viable

:05:06. > :05:08.proposition. What we've been asked to do is to prevent the immediate

:05:09. > :05:13.closure of the mines. And, very unusually, that is what government

:05:14. > :05:17.has agreed to do. If you close these two mines, Hatfield will be the only

:05:18. > :05:20.one left in the UK. Why are you so hell`bent on destroying the UK

:05:21. > :05:24.mining industry? We're not destroying the UK mining industry.

:05:25. > :05:29.The coal mines have had a great deal of help from taxpayers over the

:05:30. > :05:35.years. But these mines have now become unviable. And there is no

:05:36. > :05:38.value for money, taxpayer case for subsidising them any further when

:05:39. > :05:44.the private sector is not able to do so. Well, the government bailed out

:05:45. > :05:47.the banks to the tune of millions of pounds. They were a private

:05:48. > :05:51.business. Why are you not doing the same for the coal industry? Well,

:05:52. > :05:56.the mines have had taxpayer support over the years. But we can only put

:05:57. > :06:01.taxpayer money in where there is good value for money. And we can be

:06:02. > :06:04.sure there is a proper economic case. There isn't here. And no

:06:05. > :06:09.private sector operator thinks these mines have any viable future beyond

:06:10. > :06:15.2015. What was really important was to avoid an immediate shut down and

:06:16. > :06:18.immediate insolvency. And that we have agreed to do by offering a loan

:06:19. > :06:24.in principle if everybody else can agreed terms on it. Finally, Mr

:06:25. > :06:28.Fallon, what do you have to say of the 1,400 people who will be losing

:06:29. > :06:33.their jobs? Well, I hope the managed closure will allow the closure to

:06:34. > :06:37.take place in an orderly fashion. So they will be able to take advantage

:06:38. > :06:40.of the retraining package and the help that is going to be available

:06:41. > :06:44.rather than being put out of work next week. There will be another

:06:45. > :06:48.year and a half during which miners themselves will be able to seek a

:06:49. > :06:51.different future. Mr Fallon, thank you.

:06:52. > :06:54.With us now is Andrew Mackintosh from UK Coal and Yvette Cooper, the

:06:55. > :07:03.Labour MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, whose constituency

:07:04. > :07:07.includes the pit. If we can start with you, Yvette Cooper, shouldn't

:07:08. > :07:12.labour be taking some responsibility here? After `` under the last

:07:13. > :07:27.government more mines closed and under this coalition. We had worked

:07:28. > :07:31.very hard to keep pits open. Kellingley is the same, we need to

:07:32. > :07:36.do everything to keep it open. This is grim news. This is a closure

:07:37. > :07:41.deal, closing in 2015. And I am worried they seem to be completely

:07:42. > :07:46.running off the table any option to try to keep it open. That is what we

:07:47. > :07:53.are still campaigning for. We should not be turning our backs on this pit

:07:54. > :07:58.now. Why didn't Labour do more? What about investing in clean coal

:07:59. > :08:01.technology? Labour at aside money for that but we don't know what is

:08:02. > :08:06.happening to that money and that investment. We are worried that

:08:07. > :08:09.might be siphoned off. You need the environmental conditions, but you

:08:10. > :08:15.also need to recognise we don't want to be in the `` to be dependent on

:08:16. > :08:19.imported coal from Russia, where there is instability as well. There

:08:20. > :08:23.was a rise in imported coal when Labour were in power. That's right,

:08:24. > :08:27.but we need a deep mine coal industry not to lose it all

:08:28. > :08:31.together, and not to lose the hundreds of jobs and businesses that

:08:32. > :08:35.have contracts with it. I was worried by your report and the idea

:08:36. > :08:40.that ministers seem to be making it a condition of going ahead with this

:08:41. > :08:44.deal that the union should stop campaigning to keep these pits open.

:08:45. > :08:49.All of us in our communities want to keep doing everything we can with

:08:50. > :08:56.Europe, with private investors, with anybody to try to find a deal and

:08:57. > :09:00.the government should be doing that. Why is it that the coal industry is

:09:01. > :09:06.whacked all the time? Lets be honest, at Kellingley, there is coal

:09:07. > :09:12.for 20 years. Yes, it has been an extremely difficult time for coal

:09:13. > :09:21.and the irony is that coal is 40% of our energy. A lot of it is imported

:09:22. > :09:26.and we have decades ahead of us. The unions have to accept this otherwise

:09:27. > :09:30.the deal is off. The unions are in the same position as the

:09:31. > :09:36.management. 2000 jobs in an area that can't afford to lose 2000 jobs!

:09:37. > :09:46.2000 jobs, and the choices padlocks going on mixed week, everybody out,

:09:47. > :09:50.or, and I will have a heavy heart when we have the 18 month option, so

:09:51. > :09:54.everyone will get redundancy, our suppliers will get paid, and

:09:55. > :10:00.everyone will get the coal they need. These are the two solutions.

:10:01. > :10:02.Thank you both for joining us. It is a debate we will be returning to, I

:10:03. > :10:06.am sure. The parents of sisters Sarah and

:10:07. > :10:08.Victoria Hicks, two of the 96 Liverpool football fans killed in

:10:09. > :10:12.the Hillsborough Stadium disaster in 1989, have been paying tributes to

:10:13. > :10:16.their girls at the new inquests in Warrington. Today would have been

:10:17. > :10:19.Sarah's 44th birthday. Her father Trevor Hicks and his former wife

:10:20. > :10:24.Jenni have been reading their family impact statements to the coroners'

:10:25. > :10:30.jury. Our Correspondent John Cundy is in Warrington. I am sure it must

:10:31. > :10:35.have been a very emotional day today.

:10:36. > :10:39.It was and for all the other families who have had impact

:10:40. > :10:44.statements read today. One by one, 96 family descriptions are being

:10:45. > :10:46.read those loved ones they lost at Hillsborough, they are being read to

:10:47. > :10:53.a jury in a hushed coroners court room here. Today it was the turn of

:10:54. > :10:57.Keighley businessman Trevor Hicks and his former wife Jenni to talk of

:10:58. > :11:03.their two beloved daughters they lost on the overcrowded terraces of

:11:04. > :11:07.Hillsborough back in 1989. The graves of Sarah and Victoria

:11:08. > :11:12.Hicks lie in a cemetery in Liverpool. Today would have been

:11:13. > :11:16.Sarah's 44th birthday. A poignant day for their father and mother to

:11:17. > :11:20.be talking to the Hillsborough inquest at the loss of their loved

:11:21. > :11:27.ones. You asked three Mac what was today about? We are doing our job as

:11:28. > :11:32.parents, not as officers of a group. And all we can do it our best. It is

:11:33. > :11:38.a privilege and honour to be able to talk about each individual because

:11:39. > :11:43.45 years we have been part of a number of 96. All the families have.

:11:44. > :11:49.It has given a salt of the people who died. In the impact statement,

:11:50. > :11:54.the sisters were said to have defended each other in life, and,

:11:55. > :11:58.tragically, together in death. The loss of a child is one of the worst

:11:59. > :12:07.things that can happen to a loving parent. Loss of all your children is

:12:08. > :12:15.devastating. It is not the two that is twice as bad. It is that you lose

:12:16. > :12:20.everything. The present, the future, and any purpose. We are justifiably

:12:21. > :12:28.proud of Sarah and Vicky. They lived together. They died together.

:12:29. > :12:37.Supporting the team they loved. They are buried together. Need I say

:12:38. > :12:45.more? Sarah and Vicky, you word two bright, beautiful, innocent young

:12:46. > :12:52.women. `` you word two bright. I left you at a football ground. And a

:12:53. > :12:56.few hours later, you were dead. This evening, Trevor and Jenny Hicks

:12:57. > :13:02.would taking time to visit the graves of their beloveds daughters.

:13:03. > :13:09.April ten, 2014, the days Sarah should have been 44.

:13:10. > :13:11.The inquests have been adjourned until the week after Easter. They

:13:12. > :13:16.wouldn't have been sitting next to it because next week is the 25th

:13:17. > :13:22.anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. But when they do resume

:13:23. > :13:25.after Easter, more of those very poignant and sad family impact

:13:26. > :13:29.statements will continue to be read to the jury.

:13:30. > :13:31.An emotional tribute from Trevor and Jenni.

:13:32. > :13:39.Later on Look North. The latest TV series from Kay Mellor. Hello, watch

:13:40. > :13:44.me later on Look North and find out why I am in Leeds filming a new

:13:45. > :13:46.drama in a hospital. Or is at a hospital? You will have to wait to

:13:47. > :13:50.find out. A public meeting is under way this

:13:51. > :13:53.evening over concerns about a company that provides GP services to

:13:54. > :13:56.thousands of people in and around Chesterfield. The Holywell Medical

:13:57. > :14:02.Group runs GP practices across the Chesterfield area. Last year, the

:14:03. > :14:05.regulator said there were problems with two of those surgeries. The

:14:06. > :14:08.Grange in Chesterfield and the Rectory Road surgery in Staveley

:14:09. > :14:13.were criticised by the Care Quality Commission. Inspectors found that

:14:14. > :14:17.some patients struggled to access appointments. Their privacy and

:14:18. > :14:21.dignity were not being respected, while others complained they could

:14:22. > :14:30.never see the same GP. Jamie Coulson reports. Didn't it hurt a lot? Yes.

:14:31. > :14:34.Edward Baker can still remember the agony of suffering a burst appendix.

:14:35. > :14:37.Last Christmas, the four`year`old had to be rushed in for emergency

:14:38. > :14:41.surgery after days of sickness and pain. His parents believe his

:14:42. > :14:48.condition should have been picked up sooner by local GPs who thought he

:14:49. > :14:52.only had a stomach bug. We feel extremely let down because, at the

:14:53. > :14:56.end of the day, we, as parents, knew how ill Edward was. We took him to

:14:57. > :15:00.the doctors not once but twice. The second time, he should definitely

:15:01. > :15:04.have been sent to hospital. Edward was seen by two different doctors at

:15:05. > :15:09.two different surgeries that are both part of the Holywell Medical

:15:10. > :15:13.Group. His case is one of a number being highlighted by local MP Toby

:15:14. > :15:16.Perkins. It's become clear over several months that there are real

:15:17. > :15:21.significant problems primarily with access to services there. But also

:15:22. > :15:23.because, I think, all of the demand that there is, it's also going over

:15:24. > :15:33.into the quality of clinical care. In February, BBC Look North also

:15:34. > :15:38.featured the case of Vicky Liggett who died after her breast cancer

:15:39. > :15:42.returned. Her family believe the illness should have been spotted by

:15:43. > :15:47.GPs who has seen her on at least five occasions over a six`month

:15:48. > :15:50.period with a persistent cough. NHS England say they are investigating

:15:51. > :15:55.both of these cases along with eight others. They also point out they are

:15:56. > :15:59.working with the company to improve services and increase the number of

:16:00. > :16:03.GPs. And that while good progress has been made, there is still some

:16:04. > :16:06.work to be done. Meanwhile, the Hollywell Medical Group say they are

:16:07. > :16:20.happy that improvements are being made. We have increased the number

:16:21. > :16:22.of appointments by 200 extra GP appointments per week. We've

:16:23. > :16:24.employed a full`time extra nurse practitioner. There are now

:16:25. > :16:31.telephone consultations, online appointments can be booked as well.

:16:32. > :16:35.Tonight, Edward's parents will be taking part in a meeting organised

:16:36. > :16:41.by Toby Perkins to discuss their concerns and hear those of others.

:16:42. > :16:45.Police are hunting a man who carried out a serious sex attack on a

:16:46. > :16:48.10`year old girl in Bradford. It happened as she was walking in Saint

:16:49. > :16:52.Matthews field in Saint Matthews Fielding Allerton on March 25. Her

:16:53. > :16:56.attacker, whose face was covered with a scarf, is described as Asian,

:16:57. > :16:59.in his 40s, about 5"9' tall and of large build. He was wearing light

:17:00. > :17:04.blue trousers and a black hooded waterproof jacket.

:17:05. > :17:08.Massimo Cellino has been cleared to become a director of Leeds United by

:17:09. > :17:11.the Football League today. Mr Cellino completed his takeover of

:17:12. > :17:14.the club on Monday night after winning an appeal against the

:17:15. > :17:17.League's decision to bar him after failing the fit and proper persons

:17:18. > :17:22.test following a court case in Italy.

:17:23. > :17:32.A ?90 million out of town shopping centre opened in York this morning.

:17:33. > :17:35.Shoppers queued to get into John Lewis one of three big stores at

:17:36. > :17:38.Monks Cross. There's been controversy, though, with city

:17:39. > :17:41.centre shops fearing a loss of footfall. But the centre's created

:17:42. > :17:44.hundreds of jobs. Here's our business correspondent Danni Hewson.

:17:45. > :17:47.Let's hear it for the best new branch team in John Lewis. Good

:17:48. > :17:50.morning, York! A last`minute pep talk for the 350 new staff who have

:17:51. > :17:53.just become partners in John Lewis. Though the brand is celebrating its

:17:54. > :17:58.150th birthday this year, Yorkshire has had just one store for decades.

:17:59. > :18:03.A fact undoubtedly behind the excitement and the queues at Monks

:18:04. > :18:08.Cross this morning. So, why has it taken so long? We have been trying

:18:09. > :18:11.for a long time to find another road into Yorkshire, whether it be in

:18:12. > :18:15.Leeds, where we started digging on Monday, or in York. And it was just

:18:16. > :18:19.about finding exactly the right location. And we're very pleased

:18:20. > :18:22.with what we've got. And when we do open, customers will be genuinely

:18:23. > :18:25.inspired by what they see. Certainly, the investment has been

:18:26. > :18:28.welcome. The ?90 million site is also home to other big high street

:18:29. > :18:33.brands, and will eventually be joined by a community sports

:18:34. > :18:37.stadium. But the development's not been without controversy. And many

:18:38. > :18:40.still believe that shiny new shops with free parking outside the city

:18:41. > :18:47.centre can't help but pull trade within it. We welcome those stores.

:18:48. > :18:50.We are not at all worried about competition. We want to be able to

:18:51. > :18:53.compete on a level playing field, and therefore, it is simply about

:18:54. > :18:56.parking, parking, parking. And the upkeep of centuries`old buildings is

:18:57. > :19:01.an extra cost traders like Adam have to bear. Can the high`street cope?

:19:02. > :19:05.Does York need more shops? All valid questions and concerns. But no one

:19:06. > :19:09.begrudges the jobs. Jobs that literally changed the life of one

:19:10. > :19:14.York resident who thought he'd never find work. It was like winning the

:19:15. > :19:20.lottery. When I got the phone call, it was amazing because... I weren't

:19:21. > :19:25.expecting the call. And when I got the call, I just screamed down the

:19:26. > :19:30.telephone. They knew I was excited about the job. So, yeah. Really

:19:31. > :19:39.happy. If today is a barometer of the health of retail, it's set fine.

:19:40. > :19:42.This week marks a significant anniversary for anyone who uses

:19:43. > :19:45.trains in the Yorkshire Dales because it's 25 years since the

:19:46. > :19:50.government threw out plans that would have seen the Settle`Carlisle

:19:51. > :19:53.railway shut down. A special train will travel the line tomorrow to

:19:54. > :19:56.celebrate the anniversary. Meanwhile, passengers are using the

:19:57. > :20:00.service in record numbers and as Spencer Stokes has been finding out

:20:01. > :20:04.it's about to play a big part in getting heavy lorries off Dales

:20:05. > :20:07.roads. It's officially recognised as one of

:20:08. > :20:11.the world's greatest railway journeys. It's carrying more

:20:12. > :20:14.passengers than at any point in its history and freight is coming back

:20:15. > :20:19.to the line with some local industries now looking at how they

:20:20. > :20:25.can use it. The Settle`Carlisle line has been a huge success story. And

:20:26. > :20:28.this quarry wants to be part of that success. It's planning to build a

:20:29. > :20:31.short branch line to the Settle`Carlisle so that stone can be

:20:32. > :20:36.moved by trains rather than by lorries. We can only do it because

:20:37. > :20:39.the railway is there. We've looked at all the different options but,

:20:40. > :20:42.actually, the confidence of that Settle`Carlisle being there and

:20:43. > :20:46.being there for a considerable amount of time really does give us

:20:47. > :20:50.the confidence to put in what is a fairly significant investment here.

:20:51. > :20:53.A firm that quarries material for the road building industry wanting

:20:54. > :20:58.to connect to the railway would have been unimaginable 25 years ago.

:20:59. > :21:02.Throughout the 1980s, the Settle`Carlisle teetered on the

:21:03. > :21:07.brink of closure. Just a politician's pen stroke away from

:21:08. > :21:09.being ripped up. Former Look North correspondent Alan Whitehouse

:21:10. > :21:16.covered the story when he was a reporter at the Yorkshire Post. A

:21:17. > :21:19.quarter of a century on, he is a volunteer fireman on the North

:21:20. > :21:23.Yorkshire Moors Railway. Right up to the 59th minutes of the 11th hour,

:21:24. > :21:27.it looked as though the line was going to close. This was the first

:21:28. > :21:31.time in many, many years that a big closure campaign had been thwarted

:21:32. > :21:36.by a group of campaigners. Until then, BR and the government had

:21:37. > :21:40.always had their way. The closure had always gone through. And this

:21:41. > :21:45.time they failed. And that was great. Knowing the railway was

:21:46. > :21:50.saved, campaigners began to work with the rail companies to develop

:21:51. > :21:53.the route. And restore some of the original architecture. There was

:21:54. > :21:58.rundown stations, broken windows in stations, Ribblehead was virtually

:21:59. > :22:04.derelict. We were handed really a baton. We have saved it, now you

:22:05. > :22:09.make it a success. And, I think, collectively, we can pretty much sit

:22:10. > :22:11.back and say we've done that. Without that last`minute decision 25

:22:12. > :22:15.years ago, the Settle` Carlisle would have shut within weeks. And

:22:16. > :22:19.history shows once railways are lost, they are difficult to

:22:20. > :22:33.resurrect. This line didn't only survive. It went on to thrive.

:22:34. > :22:38.Did you notice how clean his clothes were shovelling that coal?

:22:39. > :22:41.I think he will invoice is for that appearance as well!

:22:42. > :22:44.She's one of television's most successful drama writers and she's

:22:45. > :22:47.been at it again. Yorkshire's very own Kay Mellor is already well known

:22:48. > :22:50.for her ratings winners which include Band of Gold, Fat Friends

:22:51. > :22:54.and The Syndicate. Now filming is under way in Leeds for her latest

:22:55. > :22:57.series called In The Club. It follows six very different families

:22:58. > :23:01.who bond at the local Parent Craft class and, as you'd expect, there's

:23:02. > :23:04.a twist! Ian White's been on set to find out more.

:23:05. > :23:08.Kay Mellor lurks in the shadows as her new drama In The Club is filmed

:23:09. > :23:13.in Leeds. She says this six parter is a bit of a cross between the TV

:23:14. > :23:17.shows One Born Every Minute and Call The Midwife. We see somebody give

:23:18. > :23:20.birth each episode. And it's like, who is that person going to be?

:23:21. > :23:24.Because they're all big, they are all in their last trimester of their

:23:25. > :23:27.pregnancy. So it is kind of guessing, half of it. Which one is

:23:28. > :23:31.going to give birth tonight? And sometimes it's not who you think it

:23:32. > :23:35.is going to be. The magic of television. If you look this way,

:23:36. > :23:40.this is basically a warehouse. But if you walk this way, this is Leeds'

:23:41. > :23:44.brand`new maternity department. Here is the neo`natal unit, and inside

:23:45. > :23:49.here, some very, very poorly babies. But not everything is as it seems.

:23:50. > :23:58.This one, of course, is not real. Just as well. It's a great set.

:23:59. > :24:01.There is no acting required here. Sometimes you go on sets, sometimes

:24:02. > :24:05.there is only two or three walls. So you have a big space or a camera

:24:06. > :24:09.crew. This really is... Like an active working hospital. We've got

:24:10. > :24:12.delivery suites, we've got two huge wards out there. We've got nurses

:24:13. > :24:17.stations. We've got corridors. This, of course, is the delivery room.

:24:18. > :24:20.We've got two of these. On set today, actors Will Mellor and Sacha

:24:21. > :24:26.Dhawan who both play expectant fathers. And who love their roles.

:24:27. > :24:30.Being able to come back home and working with a Northern crew and a

:24:31. > :24:35.Northern production team, it's... We are like a big family. When you've

:24:36. > :24:38.got your own kids, everybody knows anything to do with children, you

:24:39. > :24:42.watch. You just end up crying your eyes out because kids, you know,

:24:43. > :24:46.they weaken you. And they are my world, my children. It means a lot.

:24:47. > :24:50.And this series, I think, a lot of people are going to have a lot of

:24:51. > :24:53.things that they can see in their own lives that's happened with our

:24:54. > :24:57.storylines. Kay compares creating a new drama to giving birth. It's

:24:58. > :25:07.hoped In The Club will be shown on BBC One later in the year.

:25:08. > :25:13.I am getting clucky just looking at all those babies!

:25:14. > :25:14.Ian White is that a parent craft class tonight.

:25:15. > :25:24.Don't trust him with your newborn! Let's have a look at the pictures

:25:25. > :25:33.that have come in over the last 24 hours.

:25:34. > :25:41.Superb part of our Yorkshire coastline. Keep them coming in. OK,

:25:42. > :25:46.the headline for the next 24 rows is not a bad one. It looks like there

:25:47. > :25:50.will be plenty of sunshine around, and all parts will be dry tomorrow,

:25:51. > :25:55.courtesy of an area of high pressure. The weekend is looking to

:25:56. > :26:00.bad. This weak front might have thick cloud, a little patchy light

:26:01. > :26:06.rain in the West possible. The best of the weather always towards the

:26:07. > :26:11.coast. All of that area having a reasonable time of it. We had 16

:26:12. > :26:20.degrees this morning at Ashford. The cals Bob did build in. `` the clouds

:26:21. > :26:25.did build in, so we might see some light rain spreading south

:26:26. > :26:28.eastwards, but not a great deal, dampening the ground is loaded.

:26:29. > :26:42.Behind it, clearing skies with a touch of ground frost possible. So,

:26:43. > :26:52.a clear into the night. `` end to the night. A beautiful start to the

:26:53. > :26:58.day. Dry, mainly sunny skies across much of Yorkshire. Then, as

:26:59. > :27:02.temperatures rise, we will see some clouds, so, turning cloudy, but it

:27:03. > :27:11.remains bright with further spells of sunshine, so a like chance of

:27:12. > :27:17.catching a shower. Let's have a look at the top temperatures. Just a

:27:18. > :27:24.light breeze, perhaps an onshore breeze along the coast. 13 inland.

:27:25. > :27:29.Saturday, a bright start with Bob cloud later. Much of Sunday and

:27:30. > :27:33.Monday dry, variable cloud with some sunshine.

:27:34. > :27:37.I guess you will be out of practice with newborns as well.

:27:38. > :27:42.It is my daughter's ninth birthday tomorrow.

:27:43. > :27:46.So, you won't be going on the golf course?

:27:47. > :27:51.Definitely not. See you soon.
