Hello. Welcome to Friday's Look North:

:00:00.:00:00.

The party makes major gains in Yorkshire as the local election

:00:00.:00:08.

We'll look at the fall`out for all the main parties in the region.

:00:09.:00:14.

Defeat for York in the battle over Richard III's remains.

:00:15.:00:18.

Richard is Richard of York. His heart and souls lies in New York

:00:19.:00:33.

even though his body is in Leicester.

:00:34.:00:39.

And the world's top referee reveals his true colours.

:00:40.:00:41.

Find out why one team will always have Howard Webb on their side.

:00:42.:00:45.

An unsettled day tomorrow with heavy spells of rain at times but we

:00:46.:00:49.

should see an improvement over the weekend.

:00:50.:00:57.

Good evening and welcome to Friday's Look North.

:00:58.:01:00.

And with all the votes counted, politicians are assessing

:01:01.:01:02.

the impact of yesterday's local elections here in Yorkshire.

:01:03.:01:05.

The UK Independence Party has made significant gains,

:01:06.:01:07.

Elsewhere Labour has maintained its dominant position in West and

:01:08.:01:11.

South Yorkshire, and taken overall control of Bradford council.

:01:12.:01:14.

The Conservatives have kept control in Harrogate and Craven,

:01:15.:01:18.

The Liberal Democrats have lost the most seats.

:01:19.:01:31.

So let's take a closer at the figures.

:01:32.:01:33.

In the seats where there have been elections, this is the picture.

:01:34.:01:39.

Labour are up one and conservative are down by seven. The Lib Dems have

:01:40.:01:46.

taken a beating with 69 councillors, down by 18. UKIP thou have 17 which

:01:47.:01:52.

is up 16 and other minor parties including the Greens and the

:01:53.:01:53.

Let's cross live now to our Political Editor Len Tingle

:01:54.:01:57.

in Bradford where Labour has taken control of the council.

:01:58.:02:03.

This is a good news story for Labour but the big story is the surge in

:02:04.:02:11.

support for UKIP. Very much so. The headlines this

:02:12.:02:16.

morning were the overnight counting) where UKIP were taking votes in the

:02:17.:02:23.

heartland. Labour needed a handful of extra seats to be able to take

:02:24.:02:29.

control, in Kirklees, Calderdale and here in Bradford. If you had been

:02:30.:02:32.

here an hour or so ago you would have heard the cheers from Labour in

:02:33.:02:38.

the counting hall behind me. Were they tears of `` were they cheers of

:02:39.:02:45.

joy or cheers of relief? There were celebrations from

:02:46.:02:49.

Labour. They went into these elections in Bradford needing to

:02:50.:02:53.

extra seats for an outright majority and got three. UKIP almost spoiled

:02:54.:02:58.

the party, it cut the lead by taking a seat from Labour and in half a

:02:59.:03:03.

dozen others it was within 50 votes of winning. George Galloway's

:03:04.:03:08.

respect party was smashed, none of its content candidates `` candidates

:03:09.:03:13.

came anywhere near winning. The issue is you coming to town make

:03:14.:03:16.

empty promises and then do not deliver on them. What do you expect?

:03:17.:03:21.

People will see through that and I think the voters and electors in

:03:22.:03:24.

Bradford West have seen through that. George made a lot of promises

:03:25.:03:29.

and he has not delivered on any of those promises. There were two other

:03:30.:03:32.

targets for Labour in Yorkshire and it came in a whisper of winning one

:03:33.:03:38.

of them. In Calderdale the Lib Dem vote collapsed, losing six feet but

:03:39.:03:41.

the Conservatives picked up one of them and another for the

:03:42.:03:44.

independence and that left Labour just one short of a full majority.

:03:45.:03:49.

The candidates worked incredibly hard. They have been working for the

:03:50.:03:55.

last year in the constituency very hard and I am incredibly pleased

:03:56.:03:58.

that it has been hard work but the candidates have one and they have

:03:59.:04:05.

got their just reward. Next`door in Kirklees there was an extraordinary

:04:06.:04:08.

result. For the first time in living memory all the parties retained all

:04:09.:04:11.

of the seats they were defending, leave the Labour still short of

:04:12.:04:20.

their majority. I am sure there are at least three parties on the

:04:21.:04:23.

council who have a chance of working together. If we work together for

:04:24.:04:28.

Kirklees then we have got massive challenges in the next few years in

:04:29.:04:32.

the next few years. I think we have got to be careful not to lose track

:04:33.:04:37.

of that and our purpose is to run Kirklees, not to fight elections.

:04:38.:04:41.

Not much change in the biggest council in Yorkshire. In Leeds

:04:42.:04:44.

Labour consolidated the majority it already holds. I declare that

:04:45.:04:50.

Jonathan David Pryor is elected as a councillor for the Headingley ward.

:04:51.:04:55.

In South Yorkshire before these elections Labour had a commanding

:04:56.:04:58.

lead in the four councils of Barnsley, rubber duck, Doncaster and

:04:59.:05:06.

Sheffield and it still does. UKIP has come on Fox quite differently of

:05:07.:05:14.

sales. What do these results mean going forward? The European election

:05:15.:05:18.

results are coming out on Sunday after all the polls close in Europe

:05:19.:05:22.

and it looks as though UKIP will get at least two of the six seats in

:05:23.:05:26.

Yorkshire and Humber. A statistic we heard today is that two thirds of

:05:27.:05:29.

voters across Yorkshire and the Humber did not bother to turn out.

:05:30.:05:35.

The big prize is next year. Next year the general election, what do

:05:36.:05:39.

these boats mean, will it mean that Labour will be able to grab those

:05:40.:05:46.

key seats, across West Yorkshire, that they need if they are to go

:05:47.:05:51.

forward and former government. Now back to the studio. Whichever

:05:52.:05:55.

way you look at it the big story in Yorkshire is the increase in the

:05:56.:05:56.

UKIP boat. Nine of these seats were just

:05:57.:06:03.

in Rotherham, with three in Sheffield and two in

:06:04.:06:07.

Wakefield one in Bradford and one in Doncaster James Vincent has spent

:06:08.:06:11.

the day in Rotherham finding out why A big box of Strawbridge for a

:06:12.:06:18.

pound! The morning after the fright before for Labour in Rotherham and

:06:19.:06:21.

in the market the voters are not sure they like what Ed Miliband is

:06:22.:06:25.

selling. Why did you go UKIP? Just for a change, to give them a kip up

:06:26.:06:30.

`` click on the back side. We are sick of the foreigners. They are

:06:31.:06:34.

taking us for granted, they just need a little nudge to say that when

:06:35.:06:37.

the big elections come you need to but your ideas up. Which way did you

:06:38.:06:44.

vote? UKIP. I use usually a photo? It is a new thing. Immigration is

:06:45.:06:50.

the first thing on the minds of people. Mark has been on his stall

:06:51.:06:53.

for 30 years and he knows that it is an awkward subject. Rotherham is

:06:54.:07:03.

full. We are getting too many of the wrong people. The country cannot

:07:04.:07:07.

afford it any more, any more people coming in, I think the country is

:07:08.:07:12.

full up. When you say the wrong people, does that make you feel bad?

:07:13.:07:17.

In a way but we just cannot afford it, can we? Labour won the most

:07:18.:07:21.

seats last night but they were beaten in terms of the share of the

:07:22.:07:25.

vote which is a big worry ahead of the general election next year. UKIP

:07:26.:07:29.

got 44% of the vote and labour only got 41%. Labour made their own gains

:07:30.:07:35.

in the election but they are losing support at home with their

:07:36.:07:40.

traditional voters. I am hoping it is not just a protest vote. I hope

:07:41.:07:44.

people think that they voted once and it is not it. I hope that we

:07:45.:07:49.

really get a change of policy in the country. UKIP thinks it is here to

:07:50.:07:57.

say and it may be Westminster next. Why not? I am an optimist and I

:07:58.:08:03.

always, I never think negative, I always think positive. If I set my

:08:04.:08:09.

mind to it, why not? I think we may end up with three MPs in Westminster

:08:10.:08:14.

from Rotherham! Protest or permanent? Next year's general

:08:15.:08:15.

election will tell us. Joining us now in the studio is

:08:16.:08:19.

Jane Collins, the UKIP candidate And David Green, the Labour

:08:20.:08:23.

leader of Bradford council. As we were hearing there,

:08:24.:08:26.

Labour have just taken over all That is a good result for Bradford.

:08:27.:08:38.

I think that it was the result of a lot of hard work, not just during

:08:39.:08:41.

the election campaign but the fact that we have been delivering on what

:08:42.:08:45.

we have promised in Bradford over the last four years. I have spoken

:08:46.:08:50.

about Westfield on several occasions which is coming out of the ground

:08:51.:08:54.

and the employment and skills package is delivering. We are

:08:55.:08:58.

improving slowly education and we need to be better at that but we

:08:59.:09:02.

will be doing that. People can actually see that what we say, we

:09:03.:09:08.

do. Generally speaking at has not been a great time for the Labour

:09:09.:09:13.

Party. Let us be honest, you are not where you would want to be. I think

:09:14.:09:17.

if you look at the results across the region, some of those marginal

:09:18.:09:24.

seats that we need to win in 2015, we would have won on yesterday's

:09:25.:09:29.

Pol. Clearly there is a lot more to do and we have to convince a lot

:09:30.:09:32.

more people. You need different policies! I do not just think it is

:09:33.:09:38.

about adapting, I think it is also about finding a way to explain those

:09:39.:09:43.

policies more clearly. Sometimes I think we overcomplicate things and I

:09:44.:09:46.

think we have got to find a way of putting our arguments forward and

:09:47.:09:53.

also listening so that we can adapt and change those policies where it

:09:54.:09:58.

is needed. Labour are getting a vote that UKIP might have attracted. You

:09:59.:10:02.

have been doing well in South Yorkshire but not so good in West

:10:03.:10:06.

Yorkshire. I am not too disappointed with West Yorkshire because we

:10:07.:10:09.

gained a lot of second places and our average boat is 26.7% and some

:10:10.:10:14.

of these have been from standing starts as well so overall we are

:10:15.:10:18.

absolutely delighted with the results that we have in Yorkshire. A

:10:19.:10:23.

lot of people know about your views on Europe and immigration but we do

:10:24.:10:27.

not know about your policies closer to home. What will you do in

:10:28.:10:31.

Yorkshire about libraries and bin collections? We are obviously a

:10:32.:10:35.

party very much for localism. When you look at things like libraries

:10:36.:10:40.

and bin collections, and it will probably vary from different

:10:41.:10:43.

authorities, one authority to another, then our councillors will

:10:44.:10:46.

do what they have been doing for the last year. We got councillors in

:10:47.:10:52.

last year, 147, and they have the highest attendance rate of any of

:10:53.:10:55.

the councillors of any of the parties in the country and they

:10:56.:10:59.

addressed those local issues, the schools, the libraries and

:11:00.:11:03.

everything. In some places you did not even take a seat in West

:11:04.:11:09.

Yorkshire, in Kirklees for example. Are you reaching as many people as

:11:10.:11:13.

you would have us believe? I think so. I think we are looking at some

:11:14.:11:18.

standing starts, we are fielding a lot more candidates than we fielded

:11:19.:11:23.

before and quality candidates as well and our percentage of the vote

:11:24.:11:28.

is very high. If you look back in history the percentage of the votes

:11:29.:11:31.

that we have got from standing starts is amazing. We are in gauging

:11:32.:11:36.

people who have not voted before and although the tell all that is quite

:11:37.:11:39.

low I think UKIP is quite good because it is engaging people who

:11:40.:11:44.

feel disenchanted with the three main parties and we are engaging

:11:45.:11:50.

people who have not voted before. The BBC political party said that

:11:51.:11:53.

neither the Conservative Party or the Labour Party could feel any

:11:54.:11:56.

confidence that this time next year they would win an election because

:11:57.:12:02.

of UKIP. I think that nobody in any of the parties is overconfident

:12:03.:12:05.

about next year's general election. We have got a lot of hard work to do

:12:06.:12:09.

we are determined to do it. I think you will be both back at some point,

:12:10.:12:11.

thank you much indeed! Well,

:12:12.:12:20.

elsewhere there were 16 seats up for election in Bassetlaw, Labour held

:12:21.:12:22.

onto control of the council there. For more details of all the results

:12:23.:12:25.

in your area you can find them on the BBC's Vote 2014 website,

:12:26.:12:29.

details are on your screen now. Results for the six Yorkshire

:12:30.:12:32.

seats in the European Parliament After a long legal battle,

:12:33.:12:35.

it's been confirmed that the remains of King Richard III will stay

:12:36.:12:39.

in Leicester where they were found. Descendants of the Yorkist King

:12:40.:12:42.

wanted him buried in York, and went to court to ask

:12:43.:12:45.

for a public consultation. But the High Court ruled

:12:46.:12:48.

against them. Right here at York Minster is where

:12:49.:12:57.

many York people believe the bones of Richard III rightfully belong. He

:12:58.:13:02.

was the last Yorkist king and he made arrangements for prayers to be

:13:03.:13:06.

said here in the event of his death. The High Court in London has

:13:07.:13:09.

ruled today that he stays in Leicester. It is a real shame. He

:13:10.:13:15.

was Richard of York so you should be in York. Surely there must be

:13:16.:13:18.

another road we can go down to bring him here. I hope it comes to York.

:13:19.:13:22.

There was a lot more in York when there is in Leicester, isn't there?

:13:23.:13:26.

It makes me Sara Lee disappointed. I think this is his home and he

:13:27.:13:32.

belongs in Yorkshire. He should be back here. It might seem strange

:13:33.:13:36.

that these bones should cause such a strength of feeling but the

:13:37.:13:49.

discovery of a remains of a king in a council car park was so

:13:50.:13:51.

extraordinary that everybody wanted a share. Descendants took to the

:13:52.:13:54.

streets to argue that Richard of York belonged in York. Leicester

:13:55.:13:56.

fought back with grand plans for his grave and the reaction that today

:13:57.:13:59.

was one of relief and bat at the little gloating. If you have not

:14:00.:14:02.

heard, the result is that the judgement has gone the way of

:14:03.:14:07.

Leicester. While! A mixture of thrilled and delighted and also

:14:08.:14:10.

extremely relieved that it is finally over. We can move on and the

:14:11.:14:14.

cathedral can put into affect plans to rebury Richard with great dignity

:14:15.:14:19.

and honour. Very pleased indeed. Obviously very disappointed with the

:14:20.:14:23.

outcome of it. It is still early days. We are going to think about it

:14:24.:14:27.

and make some decisions over the weekend what we do next. I am really

:14:28.:14:33.

pleased it went to court in the first place. Again, Richard is

:14:34.:14:37.

Richard of York, his heart and Soul Lion roar could `` York even though

:14:38.:14:47.

his body is still in Leicester. Despite the court ruling, Richard's

:14:48.:14:52.

story continues to divide, with one city's V reproving another's defeat.

:14:53.:14:59.

I wonder if that story will continue in some way.

:15:00.:15:01.

We're live in Rotherham as the Millers prepare

:15:02.:15:05.

A convicted kidnapper who escaped from guards during a supervised

:15:06.:15:12.

visit from a secure mental health unit in Doncaster has been found.

:15:13.:15:15.

David Burslam, who's 49, disappeared during a visit

:15:16.:15:19.

in to town with staff from the nearby Cheswold Park Hospital.

:15:20.:15:23.

He was found in Macclesfield this morning.

:15:24.:15:25.

Police say no harm came to him or anyone else.

:15:26.:15:29.

A Scarborough man who started sexual relationships with young vulnerable

:15:30.:15:32.

29`year`old Graham John Stubbings was found guilty of eight counts

:15:33.:15:38.

of sexual activity with children over an eight year period.

:15:39.:15:41.

His two victims were aged just 12 and 13 when he met them.

:15:42.:15:45.

Police thanked the victims for their bravery in coming forward.

:15:46.:15:50.

Scarborough South Bay could be at risk of failing new standards

:15:51.:15:53.

for water quality according to the Environment Agency.

:15:54.:15:56.

From next year more stringent European Union regulations for

:15:57.:16:01.

If beaches fail local authorities will have to display

:16:02.:16:07.

The agency says a number of other beaches

:16:08.:16:11.

in England could fail if action is not taken to tackle pollution.

:16:12.:16:19.

A man who stood on railway tracks at a South Yorkshire station and refuse

:16:20.:16:25.

to get back onto the platform has been jailed for 16 weeks. Nathan

:16:26.:16:30.

Barker jumps down onto the track and forced a train driver to apply the

:16:31.:16:35.

emergency brakes. 12 trains were delayed for more than 90 minutes.

:16:36.:16:39.

British Transport Police say his actions were senseless and extremely

:16:40.:16:40.

Jurors on the new inquest into the death of 96 Liverpool football fans

:16:41.:16:45.

killed in the Hillsborough disaster 25 years ago have visited the

:16:46.:16:48.

They left the regular courtroom in Warrington

:16:49.:16:52.

and were taken to the ground by coach with a police escort.

:16:53.:16:55.

Our correspondent Ed Thomas is outside Hillsborough tonight.

:16:56.:16:59.

As you say, in one sense the court room came to Sheffield today. The

:17:00.:17:13.

jurors walked down Leppings Lane and they were led by the coroner who was

:17:14.:17:18.

talking into a microphone while the jurors listened in on headsets. They

:17:19.:17:22.

came to the concourse outside the West stand and they paused and there

:17:23.:17:26.

were cones and tape laid out to show what this place looked like in 1989.

:17:27.:17:30.

They were told where Gate C would have been and the court has already

:17:31.:17:34.

heard that that gate was opened on police orders and 2000 fans went

:17:35.:17:44.

through the turnstiles here. They went through the tunnel as well. The

:17:45.:17:47.

jurors made the same walk today. They went into the place where the

:17:48.:17:49.

Liverpool fans were crushed. They also walked around the pitch before

:17:50.:17:52.

going into the gymnasium, the place where the injured and the dead were

:17:53.:17:58.

laid out. Now it is the Sheffield Wednesday club shop but at one point

:17:59.:18:03.

today the coroner turned to the jurors and said that this is the

:18:04.:18:06.

same journey that many of the Liverpool fans made in 1989.

:18:07.:18:11.

Why was it so important to come to Sheffield and signals for

:18:12.:18:15.

themselves? This is a significant moment. They

:18:16.:18:21.

did not come here to pay tribute or for a history lesson, the jurors

:18:22.:18:25.

needed to understand this stadium. They spent three days preparing for

:18:26.:18:28.

this and they have studied photographs, aerial and video

:18:29.:18:32.

footage of this stadium and they have studied how it was in 1989 and

:18:33.:18:37.

what it looks like and the terraces here. They have compared it to how

:18:38.:18:41.

it looks now. Now it is an all`seater. The reason they are

:18:42.:18:45.

doing this is to understand how the 96 fans died and they need to

:18:46.:18:53.

understand this stadium. It is important because it will be down to

:18:54.:18:56.

the jury to decide how the fans died.

:18:57.:18:56.

Thank you very much. It is of course a big weekend

:18:57.:18:59.

for Rotherham United who take on Leyton Orient on Sunday

:19:00.:19:02.

in the League One play`off final. If they win at Wembley it'll be

:19:03.:19:05.

back`to`back promotions for Tanya's propping up the bar with

:19:06.:19:08.

a few fans in the town! Nice week!

:19:09.:19:20.

It is. I am bringing it back for you because I think it will suit you

:19:21.:19:23.

well. We have the shirts and scarves and even the Whigs. They are good to

:19:24.:19:28.

go. The fans will be trooping down to Wembley and they have the support

:19:29.:19:38.

of a well`known referee. South Yorkshire man Howard Webb is

:19:39.:19:42.

globally respected for his fair and firm hand with the whistle.

:19:43.:19:46.

Officiating the 2010 World Cup final, his finest career moment so

:19:47.:19:53.

far. If he was allowed to referee Rotherham United matches there would

:19:54.:19:56.

be blatant bias every time because this is how he looked as a

:19:57.:20:00.

schoolboy. He was clad in Rostron red and white from head to toe. I

:20:01.:20:05.

watched them lose to Dagenham in the league two play`off final and that

:20:06.:20:08.

is a terrible feeling to lose a play`off. It is a great way to go up

:20:09.:20:13.

but I have not experienced that yet. Wembley is great and the experience

:20:14.:20:23.

of going down and seeing the other fans on the motorway on the way down

:20:24.:20:26.

to Wembley will be fantastic. I drove through town a few days ago

:20:27.:20:29.

and you could see the shirts all over the place and you would not

:20:30.:20:32.

have seen that a few years ago. Now we are seen a lot of red and white

:20:33.:20:35.

rubber United shirts and it makes me happy. How would Webb might be even

:20:36.:20:37.

happier if his job actually obliged to watch Rotherham United, as in the

:20:38.:20:41.

case of one of the most highly respected football reporters across

:20:42.:20:46.

the Yorkshire new paper `` newspaper industry. He has covered matches in

:20:47.:20:50.

the south of our region for 40 years and retires after the final on

:20:51.:20:54.

Sunday. You might be jumping inside but you have to keep a lid on it. I

:20:55.:20:59.

professionally try to do that but it is not easy at times. It is my final

:21:00.:21:03.

game so it might be a little emotional ball at some stage when I

:21:04.:21:08.

walk out of Wembley but what a fantastic way to end and go into

:21:09.:21:11.

retirement with my last report. All I really hope is that for the

:21:12.:21:18.

chairman it will be magnificent and the staff and the players and the

:21:19.:21:22.

fans that the club do the business and get into the championship. Keep

:21:23.:21:25.

looking around you at Wembley on Sunday, there is bound to be a long

:21:26.:21:30.

serving Rotherham United fan in the next seat. Amongst the fans we have

:21:31.:21:40.

some very familiar Rotherham United faces, legends I think it is fair to

:21:41.:21:46.

say. Former players and a manager and assistant manager. Can they do

:21:47.:21:50.

it? Back`to`back promotions is quite something! Yes, we achieved it so I

:21:51.:21:55.

am sure they can. You got that one in! Nice and early. They just think

:21:56.:22:00.

they are too strong for Leyton orient. I think there is only one

:22:01.:22:04.

winner and it is going to be read. They were pretty impressive in the

:22:05.:22:08.

home leg against Preston. Yes, it was a tough game. Both of those

:22:09.:22:12.

teams did not want to meet at that stage but having beaten Preston, as

:22:13.:22:17.

long as they do not think it will be easy because they are playing Leyton

:22:18.:22:21.

Orient but I think they have won one game and Rotherham have won a game

:22:22.:22:24.

but it will be tough but I still think they have got too much. What

:22:25.:22:28.

do you think going to the new stadium has done for the club as a

:22:29.:22:33.

whole? The stadium is fantastic. It is unbelievable. The two years have

:22:34.:22:38.

been fantastic with a new stadium and it is just a little bit better

:22:39.:22:43.

than their stadium. Tony Stewart has done a fantastic job of building and

:22:44.:22:47.

believable stadium and successors, may it continue. What has the Busby

:22:48.:22:51.

light around the town? It has been fantastic. It is just what the town

:22:52.:22:56.

needed. The motorway will be full of read and write all the way on Sunday

:22:57.:23:04.

morning. The town has been buzzing. `` of red and white. The stadium has

:23:05.:23:09.

been believable and the noise has been fantastic. It has been great,

:23:10.:23:16.

the whole place is buzzing. Quite a few of these guys are off to Wembley

:23:17.:23:19.

but you are not going, are you? Where will you watch the game? My

:23:20.:23:25.

dad is going but... He is not taking you! We will have words with your

:23:26.:23:31.

dad! Will you watch and win? Yes. You are going to Wembley, how

:23:32.:23:36.

excited I? Very excited. What are you looking forward to most? Winning

:23:37.:23:43.

2`1. Will you watch it? Yes. Do you know where you will be? No. Will you

:23:44.:23:49.

be nervous? No. Are they going to win? Yes. What will the scoreline

:23:50.:23:59.

be? 3`1. Are you going to wear the way? Yes. BBC Radio Sheffield will

:24:00.:24:08.

bring you all of the action and all the build`up and the reaction to

:24:09.:24:09.

what we hope will be a winner. Now he's small, wears purple

:24:10.:24:22.

and just happens to be one of the world's biggest singing superstars

:24:23.:24:26.

and tonight Prince is performing The flamboyant showman is on

:24:27.:24:28.

at the First Direct Arena. A massive name in the 1980s and 90s

:24:29.:24:33.

he's recently been filling stadiums I have got my Raspberry Pi. I am

:24:34.:24:51.

going but I had to remortgage the house to pay for it but we are very

:24:52.:24:55.

excited. I cannot take it seriously! Your dad

:24:56.:25:01.

used to play for Rotherham United. He did when I was little but he was

:25:02.:25:04.

disappointed because he got two girls.

:25:05.:25:08.

No purple rain this weekend but a lot of rain, particularly on

:25:09.:25:12.

Saturday. It will improve through the weekend. Let us look at some

:25:13.:25:16.

pictures. We had dismal conditions this morning which these pictures

:25:17.:25:20.

really show. There is a list on the hills at Derwent.

:25:21.:25:27.

A lot of Mr MacLeod around but improved into the afternoon but it

:25:28.:25:34.

was fairly miserable at lunchtime. We will see more of these on

:25:35.:25:39.

Saturday before it improves on Monday. You can keep send your

:25:40.:25:49.

pictures in. Tomorrow there will be heavy showers around. The showers

:25:50.:25:54.

could be heavy and thundery just as they are at the moment. The South

:25:55.:25:58.

Yorkshire is getting clobbering at the moment. It is all down to an

:25:59.:26:03.

area of low pressure. It brightened in West End South Yorkshire which

:26:04.:26:07.

has triggered showers as we head through into the evening. Heavy and

:26:08.:26:13.

thundery places but the showers will use during the course of the

:26:14.:26:17.

evening. Overnight it will become largely dry. The cloud will be

:26:18.:26:22.

broken at times but it will start to slip up from the south over the

:26:23.:26:31.

night and it will not be cold. The sun and high water times. Tomorrow

:26:32.:26:42.

we start with a fair bit of cloud around. In central and western parts

:26:43.:26:47.

they stay dry at times in the morning. Thundery rain will spread

:26:48.:26:50.

up from the south and then migrate to the west. There will be heavy

:26:51.:26:54.

spells and we have a weather warning clipping into the hills of parts of

:26:55.:26:59.

West Yorkshire. The heaviest rain is expected there. Torrential downpours

:27:00.:27:03.

through tomorrow. Temperatures will be similar to today and they will

:27:04.:27:13.

get to 14 or 15 degrees. On Sunday a bit of a damp start to the day but

:27:14.:27:18.

it should improve and be drier compared with Saturday. A lot of

:27:19.:27:22.

uncertainty as we head into bank holiday Monday but at the moment it

:27:23.:27:25.

looks like the most promising day of the three. There will be spells of

:27:26.:27:29.

sunshine. It looks unsettled from there on in. Four.

:27:30.:27:36.

There was a big golf tournament as well.

:27:37.:27:38.

I'm going to see Prince and I have practised my air guitar all week.

:27:39.:27:44.

She has been like a teenager today! Enjoy your weekend from all of us.

:27:45.:27:45.

Goodbye. Let's look at the history

:27:46.:27:57.

of BBC TWO with me, Simon Schama. 'Harry And Paul's

:27:58.:28:01.
