to have sexually assaulted a boy South Yorkshire Police | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
have searched his home. We're live in Sheffield | :00:09. | :00:14. | |

of Sheffield have been saved by the cutting`edge technology | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
of the internet. And there are some very heavy | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
thunderstorms out there at the moment. I will be back with all the | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
latest later. First tonight, | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
South Yorkshire Police have been searching the Berkshire home | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
of the pop star Sir Cliff Richard. It's | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
in connection with an allegation of sexual assault involving | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
a boy who was under 16 at the time. The alleged assault, | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
which Sir Cliff strongly denies, is said to have taken place | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
in Sheffield in the 1980s. Our reporter James Vincent is | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
outside South Yorkshire Police James, what is the latest? It is | :01:10. | :01:23. | |
important to remember that this investigation is at a very early | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
stage and nobody has been arrested. The allegation concerns a boy under | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
the age of 16 and the BBC understands the allegation of sexual | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
assault involves an event at Bramall Lane, a Billy Graham event. He was a | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
US preacher and Bramall Lane is the home of Sheffield United football | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
club. The police here are taking this allegation very seriously and | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
they say that is why they have taken this action today. They have | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
released a statement and this is what they told us earlier today. | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
We can confirm today that South Yorkshire Police have gained | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
entry into a property in the Sunningdale area of Berkshire. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Officers are currently searching the property. | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
The search warrant was granted after police received | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
an allegation of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
The allegation involved a young boy under the age | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
The owner of the property is not present. | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
That is all the information we have on the investigation from here in | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
Sheffield. My colleague is outside Sir Cliff Richard's home in | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Berkshire and he has the latest for us. Well, the team of undercover | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
police officers from South Yorkshire has now left Sir Cliff Richard's | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Berkshire home after spending most of the day here searching through | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
his penthouse property. It was at 9:30am that a short convoy of five | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
unmarked police cars went through the gates of this heavily secured | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
and private estate on the edge of London. They have spent the whole | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
day searching the property and left just about 3:30pm, we believe, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
having taken some items. Nobody has been arrested yet. Cliff Richard has | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
denied this allegation and he says, for many months I have been aware of | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
allegations made against me which have been circulated online. The | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
allegations are completely. Up till now, I have chosen not to dignify | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
those allegations with a response because it would give them more | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
oxygen. However, the police attended my apartment today without notice | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
except for to the press, it would appear. I will co`operate fully | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
should the police wish to speak to me. Beyond stating that the | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
allegations today. It would not be appropriate to state anything | :03:44. | :03:44. | |
further... (inaudible) We're not entirely sure what happens | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
next but we are sure that the work of the police has concluded for | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
today. Thank you. We do apologise for those | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
technical difficulties in sound. The pub campaign group Camra is | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
calling for new laws to protect pubs from being bought up and turned | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
into shops. It says many suburbs and villages | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
in Yorkshire are losing a vital The Government says there's | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
already adequate protection. Cathy Killick's been to Harrogate, | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
where at least three pubs have already changed and another's | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
in the pipeline. You can tell just by looking at it | :04:24. | :04:35. | |
that this Sainsbury's in Harrogate used to be a pub. Just down the | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
road, there is a similar Morrisons. With five pubs in the North closing | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
every week, conversions like this are becoming a pretty common | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
occurrence, and some are now saying that pubs need greater protection | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
from change of use. Campaign group Camra even wants the law to change | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
so planning permission is needed for a pub to become anything else. It is | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
a back road for supermarkets, pawnbrokers, other developers, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
really, as they don't require change of use for these facilities and | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
normally, as you know, pubs are on very large plots so they can get | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
their hands on them very easily without changing the use and gaining | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
the permission of the committees interested in these matters. Change | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
of use would have helped campaigners here. This would have become a co`op | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
without their input. To lose it would have been a big shock to us | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
locally. The Government says there is already protection for pubs. | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
There are various measures in place. It is just a question of local | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
people being aware of the tools they have to use. And that is the | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
troubled ` awareness. Many communities do not know how to | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
protect their pubs until it is too late because it has already been | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
sold. The message from Cameron is, list your favourite local as a | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
community asset. That way, consultation will be needed to | :06:18. | :06:18. | |
change it. The Leeds North West MP Greg | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Mulholland is chair of the So does he agree that pub closures | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
are just a sign that people prefer to buy alcohol from supermarkets | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
and drink at home? The two major reasons | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
behind the number of pubs closing, first is the unsustainable business | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
model of the large pub companies, who have got themselves into billion | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
pounds of debt, which has led to pub But also the complete lack of | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
protection for pubs in the planning system, allowing pubs to be turned | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
into various other things that are clearly different uses without even | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
the community having a say. And those two things together have | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
led to many conversions, for example, to supermarkets, | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
in deals done behind the community's back, and that cannot be | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
right and could be prevented. But you know fine well politicians | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
are always telling us we drink too much, | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
so are we not better off having more Not at all, and actually, to focus | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
on the problem`drinking, which is clearly what politicians rightly do | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
focus on, one of the solutions, and this is actually accepted by | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
ministers, is the social drinking in pubs, where it's controlled, | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
where there is always a licensee on hand, compared to | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
the very low`cost selling of alcohol by supermarkets, where of course | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
there is no supervision at all. So actually the pub is very much | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
part of a sensible approach to alcohol, which is absolutely what | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
the Government should be promoting. Have pubs and landlords not got | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
themselves to blame, though? Because we have seen | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
in some areas they have had to diversify and some have become post | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
office branches, for example. So is it about thinking of the | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
future and perhaps changing the role That's something that of course | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
applies to rural and village pubs, and that's something that's been | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
supported by the wonderful But actually, no, the problems | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
are the ones I've specified. If it wasn't for the business model | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
of the pub companies, which take far too much of pub profits in the form | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
of grossly inflated drinks prices and excessive rates, and the lack of | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
protection in the planning system, we simply wouldn't be seeing the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
number of closures, and actually we are seeing many more pubs succeed | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
when they're being bought and retained as a pub but run by a local | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
person or a small pub company, such as some of the excellent small | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
companies in Yorkshire, or some of the wonderful small breweries, | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
who, I am delighted to say, We'll stop you there | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
because I know you probably want to Later on Look North, we've been | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
to see a man about a dog. A North Yorkshire Police dog`handler | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
gives us some startling tales A father from Leeds whose son took | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
his own life is calling for greater access to mental health treatments | :09:19. | :09:30. | |
just a day after burying his child. Adrian Strain's comments also come | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
in a week when depression has come under intense media scrutiny | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
following the death of the Hollywood In a minute, we'll be speaking to | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Adrian about his son Martin, but first, here's our health | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
correspondent, Jamie Coulson. Martin was described by friends as a | :09:47. | :09:59. | |
happy, bright and inventive man who made friends wherever he went. But | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
behind his smile was also sadness. It was brought on by bouts of | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
depression. Two weeks ago, Martin took his own life and yesterday at | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
his funeral, his family chose to highlight the difficulties accessing | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
mental health care in their eulogy. For cancer, we talk of the need for | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
early detection, prevention being better than a cure. We boast of our | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
improving survival rates and look forward to a day when early death | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
will be avoidable. But for the millions suffering depression, we | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
wait until they cannot cope, till they stop showing up for work, put | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
them on tablets and ask them to wait half a year to see a therapist. If | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
we treated other people with other diseases like this, the country | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
would be rightly outraged. The latest figures show that 481 people | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
took their own lives in Yorkshire and Humber in 2012. Of those, there | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
were almost four times as many suicides in men than women. And | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
nationally, suicide was the leading cause of death in men aged between | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
20 and 34, accounting for more than a of all deaths. Those who knew | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Martin say he blessed their lives with his gentleness and kindness to | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
others. He leaves behind a wife and a loving family. Martin's Father | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
Adrian joins us now. I know this is an extremely difficult time for you | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
and Joe family. Thank you for coming in so soon after laying Martin to | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
rest. `` and your family. Tell us a bit about what Martin was like. | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
Martin was an affable prankster, clever... I was talking to his | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
colleagues yesterday at the funeral, his work colleagues, and they said | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
he made them laugh every day. In some ways, that was how he hid in | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
that persona. He had some of the anguish he was obviously going | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
through. And that is one of the problems we were hearing. In | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Martin's age bracket, 20`34, that is the most likely cause of death, | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
taking your own life, and maybe some of that is men not talking as much. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
I think that if anything is what I have learned over the last few | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
weeks. I mean, first of all, I would want to stress that as a family, we | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
have had phenomenally positive service from the NHS and I don't | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
want to link his death to any direct failing in the NHS at all. But it is | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
quite clear to me that if when he went off sick in April and the | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
earliest date he could access professional therapy was the 4th of | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
October, that that is unsatisfactory, and I think there | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
are some simple possibly low`cost measures that we could take to | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
improve that. We will talk about those in a second. Let's be clear | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
for people watching. There was not an appointment in October? If access | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
were improved to psychiatric help. And that is no use to him because he | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
has taken his own life and that is tragic, isn't it? It is tragic, and | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
I am keen to stress that he could have had an appointment tomorrow and | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
still taken this course of action. We will never know in Martin's | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
individual case what caused him to take his own life. What I am eager | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
to stress is the message behind the statistics that your package just | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
covered, and that is that in that age bracket, 20`34, there will be a | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
number of men whose lives might be saved and might be made easier if | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
they had faster access to some form of therapy. Simply, I would like to | :13:59. | :14:09. | |
see that if a young man in that age bracket reports through the Doctor | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
sick with stress or depression, after four weeks, they should | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
immediately trigger a psychiatric assessment. Because we know there | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
will be people watching tonight to know someone in that state and | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
perhaps there is someone watching who feels depressed as well, and | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
they need help as well. I am stunned and shocked by the numbers of people | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
who approach me yesterday, young men, who said, thank goodness | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
Caroline raised this in the eulogy, because I have been suffering like | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
this and I can't talk to my mum and dad. And it is Willie great that you | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
should raise it. `` really great. And since yesterday, I have been | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
receiving emails and tweets from organisations around the country | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
with a similar message. I don't think necessarily it is terribly | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
complicated. We screen it young women, thankfully, for cervical | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
cancer. I was approached because of my age and weight for my blood | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
pressure. So we are good at taking proactive measures... But maybe we | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
need to do the same with mental health? Exactly. Thank you so much | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
for coming in and sharing your story, and we hope something | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
positive comes out of Martin's death. | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
The brother of the last remaining undiscovered moors murder victim has | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
renewed his plea for help in finding the 12`year`old's body. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Alan Bennett wants police to provide him with all the files | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
on the investigation into his brother Keith's death to allow | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
him to continue looking for his remains, which are believed to be | :15:45. | :15:47. | |

The Sheffield half`marathon will receive a charity donation | :15:56. | :16:08. | |
from one of its suppliers after the event was cancelled due to | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Thousands of runners were disappointed | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
when the race was abandoned just before it began in April. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Many decided to run the route anyway. | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
Today, Stourbridge Water Direct Limited agreed to make | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
a payment to the marathon organisers which will be given to charities. | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
The amount of the donation has not be made public. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Students across Yorkshire have been receiving | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
Nearly 75% got grade C or above, a slight drop from last year. | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
But the proportion getting the top mark was up slightly, to 7.2%. | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
For some, the results mark the end of | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
education, but for others, they're a springboard to the next step. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
It may look like a familiar scene... But it is an experience that is | :16:50. | :17:04. | |
actually changed. Most of the students had a ready found out if | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
they have the grades they needed online. But it is not just how | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
results are delivered which has changed. There are more options for | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
students than ever. For Tom, the traditional route of an English | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
degree. I'm exhilarated! It's a red tie when I left loss for words but | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
I'm speechless. It has made it all worthwhile coming in. Extra every `` | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
every extra moment I spent, putting the effort in, spending the extra | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
hours are rising. It has made it all worthwhile to have this moment. But | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
this is Charlie who is part of a growing trend. He wants an | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
apprenticeship. You are still in education so you can take advantage | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
of that while you can and you are still being paid. There are usually | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
places in companies once you have finished apprenticeships or job | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
opportunities which serve them. And that is maybe while the number doing | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
apprenticeships in our region has nearly trebled in a decade. And in | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Rotherham's advanced manufacturing and research centre, they have one | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
of the top centres in the UK. So as well as learning practical | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
manufacturing, these guys are getting business skills and the | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
theory behind how these machines work. Apprenticeships, they say, are | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
changing. Gone are the days when somebody would say, I did Woody | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
badly so I will go and be an apprentice. That is not the case any | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
more. `` really badly. We are looking at high calibre individuals | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
we can take through that professional journey to make into | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
top engineers. Hello, you are through to the University of | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
Sheffield... But despite that, University is still people's most | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
first choice. `` most people's first choice. Candidates have the power to | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
move up through the system and into universities where there are extra | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
places being made available by the Government. So it is the | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
candidates' market. And for Yorkshire students, it is a market | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
they are ready to take on. Congratulations to everybody who got | :19:14. | :19:14. | |
their results today. North Yorkshire Police's | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
longest`serving dog`handler, PC Vince Gillon, | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
is retiring after thirty years. PC Gillon says | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
his most vivid memory is the day he took part in the dramatic | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
man`hunt for two IRA members who were involved in the murder of | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
a special constable near Tadcaster. Our crime correspondent, John Cundy, | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
reports. Vince Gillon is saying goodbye | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
to his beloved police dog Buck. His successor, PC Martin Gales, | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
puts his dog through his paces. Some specialise in drug detection, | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
others in sniffing out explosives, a highly trained and vital part | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
of policing. For Vince, there are many memories | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
of his 30 years on the force. But one day he describes | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
as the darkest. Special Constable Glenn Goodman shot | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
dead by an IRA gunmen and a colleague wounded | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
as they made what they thought was Vince and his dog joined the huge | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
police manhunt for the two fugitives across the North Yorkshire | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
countryside in the ensuing days. It was just the rural searches | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
that we were involved in. In buildings and woodland | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
and things like that. We don't expect that sort | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
of thing in North Yorkshire. And, yeah, it was a huge shock to | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
find out the IRA had been The retiring officer and his | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
successor are at one when they talk The job that a police dog can do in | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
ten minutes could take six police I enjoy being a police officer | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
but combining that with my love The prime of their working life is | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
at the age of four or five, when they really do start to earn | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
their bread and butter. For Vince, it has been a career of | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
searches, missing people, drugs and criminals which have brought him two | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
bravery awards as North Yorkshire's Football now, and Sheffield United | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
won their Capital One Cup The Blades beat Mansfield 2`1 | :21:28. | :21:53. | |
at Bramall Lane. Andy Butler got the first, a | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
scruffy affair following a corner. Mansfield got one back but | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Marc McNulty won the tie largely by virtue of keeping a cool head | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
in the penalty area. United's reward is a trip to Premier | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
League West Ham in the next round. And here is the rest of the second | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
round draw. Now, take a look at these. They may | :22:10. | :22:31. | |
look like an ordinary pair of scissors but in fact they have been | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
made by one of the only traditional scissors manufacturers in the UK, | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
and two months ago, the company was close to being cut off for good! | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
Look at mine! Mine are very fancy! Ernest Wright and Sons in Sheffield | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
was on the verge of closure after 112 years in business due to a lack | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
of orders. But that changed when a videomaker created a film of what | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
they do and posted it online. What on earth are you doing?! | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
What woman can do without her scissors? These are scissors being | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
forged. And here, they are being polished. They have been making | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
scissors in Sheffield for more than 100 years. But this craftsmanship | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
was on the verge of dying out. They were struggling here so much that in | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
June, two workers were made redundant and they even went down to | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
a two`day week. I was doing my homework and thinking about | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
receivers and what have you because it was getting close to the wire. We | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
wiz knew there were customers out there that did appreciate and like a | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
good pair of scissors or shears, but we just couldn't seem to reach them. | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
But the machines have been fired up once more because demand has gone up | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
dramatically. A years worth of orders in the space of a month! Film | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
was made by a Sheffield photographer which showcases the skills needed to | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
make a pair of scissors here. `` a film. This has gone viral and | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
travelled around the world. More than half a million people have seen | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
it, and, no surprise, they have had orders from Canada, Australia and | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
the United States. It is the power of the Internet. | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
This was something we had effectively volunteered to do for | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
posterity, just to capture it on film in case we disappeared. And | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
that was looking pretty likely, let's face it! And he put it up for | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
us to watch and someone else saw it, then someone else, and then, wow! | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
And it has just gone mad! It has projected it into another level. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
People are fascinated how we make them and how we have been making | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
them. And the age group that is making them. It is fantastic! This | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
is a story of where traditional skills meet modern technology and a | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
Sheffield company is saved. And I can say they are very good | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
scissors as well! I finished! Here's what I made earlier! And a little | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
slow flick! `` Snowflake. It is getting colder next week but | :25:23. | :25:36. | |
not that cold! Let's get on with the weather forecast and the pictures. | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
Look at these ladies. Aren't they nice! Ladies?! I think they are. | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
There are no horns so I am presuming they are ladies! You can just about | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
make out the sunshine and showers in this picture. And have we had some | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
showers today! Some very heavy ones, and we do have a warning this | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
evening as some showers could bring torrential downpours. They have been | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
a few reports of thunder and lightning as well. Tomorrow, some | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
showers through the afternoon. Saturday, a brief respite, and then | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
Sunday, the showers return along with the windy conditions. Fairly | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
disappointing for the second half of August. This is the radar picture of | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
the showers which have already fallen, and, as I said, quite a few | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
have produced hail, thunder and lightning strikes. Those will tend | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
to lose their intensity and although the odd one could continue | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
overnight, many places becoming dry. Temperatures will fall back to 12 or | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
13. That is 54 Fahrenheit. Sunrise is at 5:44am. These are the high | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
water times. We start tomorrow with the odd shower but the first half of | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
the day will be the better half, the drier and brighter half, with sunny | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
spells. The increased risk of showers as we had to the afternoon | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
and some of these pushing in from the West could be heavy and | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
thundery. Not quite as intense as this evening but still the odd sharp | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
one about. Temperatures lifting to 18 or 19 with a breeze. Next week | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
will feel Willie Quai chilly compared to that, with 16 or 17. `` | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
will feel really chilly. Now, it is traditional at the end of | :27:29. | :27:40. | |
the news for presenters to shuffle scripts and talk but we have made a | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
mess of them! See you later. | :27:44. | :27:48. |
