:00:00. > :00:09.Korean ferry capsized. That's all

:00:10. > :19:54.At what point is unacceptably to wonder if your own son will play for

:19:55. > :19:58.Yorkshire? I have got great ambitions at the

:19:59. > :20:03.moment. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it may happen in a few

:20:04. > :20:07.years' time. The truth of the matter is though, if you look behind every

:20:08. > :20:10.young promising athlete there's usually a very dedicated and patient

:20:11. > :20:13.parent. A parent who doubles as a taxi driver and mobile wallet.

:20:14. > :20:17.Phil Powell is no exception. His daughter Emma is aiming to

:20:18. > :20:21.become one of the best ice climbers in the world. He takes her all over

:20:22. > :20:25.the world and has even built her a practice wall which takes up a whole

:20:26. > :20:29.room at the family home in Burley`in`Wharfedale. Olivia

:20:30. > :20:34.Richwald reports. While her friends are enjoying horse

:20:35. > :20:38.riding and dance lessons, Emma is strapping on crampons and sharpening

:20:39. > :20:44.her ice picks. The teenager is already one of the best young ice

:20:45. > :20:48.climbers in the world. It is just a bit different, isn't it? From being

:20:49. > :20:52.out on the ground and having to look up and you can just keep going up

:20:53. > :20:59.and up and up and it is just a bit... A different feeling from

:21:00. > :21:07.being on the ground. Down there is Emma's motivator, trainer, the

:21:08. > :21:13.driver and dad. Nice? Well done. He has also got into the sport and has

:21:14. > :21:17.built Emma a practice wall that dominates the conservative ``

:21:18. > :21:21.conservatory. I know Emma and what motivates her. If she went to

:21:22. > :21:27.another coach she would not get that. It helps that we get on really

:21:28. > :21:31.well and she is my little shadow. Ice climbing is incredibly tough.

:21:32. > :21:36.You need to be brave and strong, not to mention being able to endure

:21:37. > :21:41.subzero temperatures. Emma is already proving she has those

:21:42. > :21:45.qualities. Here she is at a recent international competition where she

:21:46. > :21:48.finished third in her age category. I just want to be one of the

:21:49. > :21:56.best`known people in the world and I want to keep on doing it. Just push

:21:57. > :22:00.myself more than I have ever done. Competitions are OK but I want to

:22:01. > :22:03.get on the hills like Ben Nevis and everywhere and get climbing there.

:22:04. > :22:08.Trying to keep your feet level and think about the triangle. Ice

:22:09. > :22:13.climbing is still a niche sport and we have had to come to Glasgow for

:22:14. > :22:17.this filming today. It was a demonstration sport at the recent

:22:18. > :22:29.Winter Olympics so Emma is hoping that it becomes a real Olympic sport

:22:30. > :22:33.in either four or eight years' time. That is incredible. Best of luck to

:22:34. > :22:36.her. I have seen the dolls houses and drum kits in conservatory is but

:22:37. > :22:40.never an ice wall. Now you like a challenge Harry.

:22:41. > :22:45.You've done a marathon, a 250 mile tandem ride. What about gymnastics?

:22:46. > :22:47.You do look good in Lycra. People say I am very bending as

:22:48. > :22:50.well. Who says that?

:22:51. > :22:52.Nobody! Well, Beth Sykes from Featherstone in West Yorkshire

:22:53. > :22:57.certainly has all the moves. And when a friend came up with the idea

:22:58. > :23:00.of painting her to look like a giraffe, the photo went viral. More

:23:01. > :23:09.than ten million people have now seen it, as Cathy Killick reports.

:23:10. > :23:16.A question for you? When is a giraffe not a giraffe? Look closely

:23:17. > :23:19.and you will see the answer. This is a gymnast from Featherstone although

:23:20. > :23:25.you can barely see how white it out face. I was a gymnast at gymnastics

:23:26. > :23:30.club for the majority of my childhood and I never had a social

:23:31. > :23:32.life because I was always at the gym clubs are all the intense training

:23:33. > :23:38.and stretching is whether flexibility came from. Beth earns

:23:39. > :23:43.her living as a contortionist underperformer, her skills take her

:23:44. > :23:47.all over the world, from celebrity parties to festivals. She is a

:23:48. > :23:53.chameleon and there is very little her body cannot do. It inspired a

:23:54. > :23:56.make`up artist to transform her into a jarrah. I was watching her doing

:23:57. > :24:02.poses and looking at different animals we could base it on so I

:24:03. > :24:06.ended up thinking it would be a perfect giraffe. The giraffe photo

:24:07. > :24:09.went viral and got over 10 million views on the Internet which was a

:24:10. > :24:14.brilliant promotion for Beth and Emma and it was inspiring as well.

:24:15. > :24:19.Hopefully bigger and better things will come from the recognition we

:24:20. > :24:25.have gained. We have another line of animals and ideas in the pipeline so

:24:26. > :24:29.watch this space. With a body that Benji, no animal is off`limits and

:24:30. > :24:34.the pair are keeping us guessing on what will be next. The giraffe took

:24:35. > :24:45.many hours to perfect but it has proved well worth the effort.

:24:46. > :24:50.That is absolutely sensational. I can get... That is about it.

:24:51. > :24:54.Can you do any better? That is good!

:24:55. > :24:57.I will be sore for days now. I will have to limber up for the late one.

:24:58. > :24:59.Harry, it is you, have to limber up for the late one.

:25:00. > :25:04.Harry, it is isn't it? Let us move onto some pictures. We

:25:05. > :25:08.got a lot of pictures of the moon last night which was beautiful. A

:25:09. > :25:12.lot of people said it was blood Moon but it was not a blood Moon. There

:25:13. > :25:17.was a blood Moon yesterday when there was a lunar eclipse but it

:25:18. > :25:24.happened during the day. The reason it is read is because is low in the

:25:25. > :25:27.sky. Some parts of America did have a blood mood but we could not see

:25:28. > :25:31.our. This picture is nothing to do with the weather! I thought this was

:25:32. > :25:36.quite representative of the weather we have had in the last few days. We

:25:37. > :25:47.got up to 17 degrees in the Vale of York. Keep your pictures coming in.

:25:48. > :25:51.Changes afoot in the weather. It will get cool and cloudy into

:25:52. > :25:56.tomorrow courtesy of a weather front. High pressure will slide away

:25:57. > :26:00.to be used for a short time, allowing a week weather fronts to

:26:01. > :26:04.affect us tomorrow for the area `` before the area of high pressure

:26:05. > :26:09.pushes in. The low pressure will sneak up and spoil everything on

:26:10. > :26:13.Sunday. Today has been lovely. Plenty of sunshine in the morning

:26:14. > :26:17.with more clout spilling through the North in the afternoon and we

:26:18. > :26:20.continue to see that cloud as we head through the course of the

:26:21. > :26:24.night. A lot more cloud about compared to last night and more

:26:25. > :26:29.breeze as well. It will not be as cold as we go through the second

:26:30. > :26:32.part of the night. Temperatures dropped back to six or seven

:26:33. > :26:37.degrees. Last I got down to freezing. `` last night got down to

:26:38. > :26:50.freezing. Not a chilly start to the day but it

:26:51. > :26:54.will be cooler in general. There will be a lot of cloud about and

:26:55. > :26:59.sometimes there will be some spots of rain and drizzle. There will be a

:27:00. > :27:06.lot of dry weather as well tomorrow and it will be cooler and cloudy.

:27:07. > :27:10.Temperatures got up to about 17 in available York today and there will

:27:11. > :27:17.be quite a few degrees cooler tomorrow. 13 or so. Let us take a

:27:18. > :27:23.look in detail at the bank holiday weekend. On Friday a chilly start to

:27:24. > :27:27.the day. It looks like a pleasant day and a repeat performance on

:27:28. > :27:32.Saturday. Sunday has more cloud with rain in the south`east. It looks

:27:33. > :27:36.unsettled for Monday as well. That is as far as we go on this

:27:37. > :27:42.programme. We will have our update at 8pm and I will have the late

:27:43. > :27:44.programme at 10:25pm. They will be doing cartwheels! Not

:27:45. > :27:52.to be missed! Good night.
