:00:00. > :00:12.The Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police admits

:00:13. > :00:19.the force failed the 1,400 victims of child sex abuse in Rotherham.

:00:20. > :00:22.Speaking for the first time since the report into child sexual

:00:23. > :00:25.exploitation came out, David Crompton promises the police will

:00:26. > :00:38.We treat this extremely seriously and if, looking back, people have

:00:39. > :00:40.clearly done things they should not have done or disregarded information

:00:41. > :00:43.that is important, we will act on that.

:00:44. > :00:46.A multi`million pound project is underway to restore one of

:00:47. > :00:53.The hunt is on for a new head coach after David Hockaday gets the sack

:00:54. > :01:06.It has been a rather cloudy day, showers and places as well, but an

:01:07. > :01:07.improvement for the weekend. I will be back later in the programme with

:01:08. > :01:23.the details. This is the heart of Rotherham, it

:01:24. > :01:27.has been an awful week for the town. It finds itself at the centre of a

:01:28. > :01:32.16 year scandal involving 1400 victims and tonight the police

:01:33. > :01:36.admitted they let all of those victims down. He in East Wood, where

:01:37. > :01:41.there has been a meeting of local people, there is anger. I will have

:01:42. > :01:45.more about that later on. But first, who actually knew what was going on

:01:46. > :01:50.and is there evidence of a cover`up? Spencer Stokes has this report.

:01:51. > :01:53.How was it that in a town of 250,000 people, 1400 girls were

:01:54. > :01:58.In today's Times newspaper, the reporter who broke

:01:59. > :02:00.the original story, Andrew Norfolk, claims Rotherham council went to

:02:01. > :02:04.great lengths to hide evidence that the town's sex grooming crisis was

:02:05. > :02:11.These latest revelations date back to 2002.

:02:12. > :02:14.The Times accuses senior staff at the council of taking files

:02:15. > :02:20.According to the paper, the items taken

:02:21. > :02:23.during the internal raid were files detailing victims, offenders, and

:02:24. > :02:31.how individual cases were handled by the child protection authorities.

:02:32. > :02:33.Rotherham Council's chief executive, Martin Kimber, said he could find

:02:34. > :02:36.no evidence of the raid and was unable to find anyone who

:02:37. > :02:41.But the council is also accused of paying

:02:42. > :02:50.for taxis to ferry girls to and from school and around Rotherham.

:02:51. > :02:56.The BBC has spoken to a former care worker who says that grooming began

:02:57. > :02:59.on those journeys. It is grooming,

:03:00. > :03:02.these young people have already been There are some horrific cases

:03:03. > :03:06.of abuse within the family and yet If they are providing that plus

:03:07. > :03:11.drugs and alcohol and freedoms, or perceived freedoms, then we're never

:03:12. > :03:15.going to be able to keep them safe. According to the care worker who was

:03:16. > :03:17.employed by Rotherham Council for four years, security at the

:03:18. > :03:20.council`run care homes was lacking. If they could leave

:03:21. > :03:23.by the fire escape, they would leave But sometimes,

:03:24. > :03:25.to hide where they were going, they would put bed sheets together

:03:26. > :03:28.and climb out from a window. From a second story building,

:03:29. > :03:31.that is dangerous as well. The girls were classed as children

:03:32. > :03:34.at risk, many of them NEETs, not in Sarah, a former Rotherham social

:03:35. > :03:38.worker, has told the BBC that instead of being seen

:03:39. > :03:40.as individuals, the girls were It were all about how to

:03:41. > :03:48.manipulate the figures. Pressure were put

:03:49. > :03:51.on not to put people on the books. And then what tended to happen was

:03:52. > :03:53.that those people, These letters from inside

:03:54. > :03:59.Rotherham Council show staff were encouraged to hold back NEETs

:04:00. > :04:03.from one month's figures According to Sarah,

:04:04. > :04:08.it was a numbers game. It will become a self`perpetuating

:04:09. > :04:11.fiddle, I can't see it any other way, that led to the children not

:04:12. > :04:14.getting the support they needed. Then it became like a runaway lorry

:04:15. > :04:17.down a hill, it got out of control Many in Rotherham knew

:04:18. > :04:23.what was going on. Over 16 years, 1400 girls abused,

:04:24. > :04:42.but only one gang Three days into this appalling

:04:43. > :04:46.scandal, there is still an embarrassing silence from many

:04:47. > :04:50.leaders in Rotherham Council. This afternoon, South Yorkshire Police

:04:51. > :04:55.have admitted that they let down 1400 victims and failed them over a

:04:56. > :04:59.number of years. But the chief constable does not hold himself

:05:00. > :05:01.personally responsible. Clearly I take responsibility in terms of

:05:02. > :05:06.trying to take things forward from here, because there are some very

:05:07. > :05:10.serious issues raised in the report. However, I think that the main

:05:11. > :05:14.issues which are in the report considerably predate my time in the

:05:15. > :05:18.force. Be that as it may, people will find it incredible that not one

:05:19. > :05:24.single police officer from your force has been disciplined or even

:05:25. > :05:28.reprimanded in any way. We are going to be looking into that. In

:05:29. > :05:33.fairness, the report has outlined in a hundred pages plus of the report,

:05:34. > :05:37.a whole host of issues. It is clearly now my duty to take forward

:05:38. > :05:41.arrangements to look into the issues which have been raised and that may

:05:42. > :05:45.well, if people have done things wrong, result in people being

:05:46. > :05:49.disciplined. The level of knowledge of what was going on was quite

:05:50. > :05:53.profound in South Yorkshire Police. Two of the three reports which were

:05:54. > :05:57.ignored were written by South Yorkshire officers. People knew what

:05:58. > :06:02.was going on but did not do anything about it. How can people trust your

:06:03. > :06:07.force? We have put a sixfold increase into this area of work over

:06:08. > :06:13.the last two years. We have achieved 102 prosecutions since the beginning

:06:14. > :06:15.of last year. And very recently, Her Majesty 's Inspectorate of

:06:16. > :06:18.Constabulary said there is good work going on and from a policy

:06:19. > :06:23.perspective, we are in a far better place than we used to be. Clearly

:06:24. > :06:26.there is still far more work to be done and I don't take that lightly.

:06:27. > :06:31.Oliver, that is what we intend to do, we take things forward, we treat

:06:32. > :06:36.this extremely seriously. `` however, that is what we intend. If

:06:37. > :06:39.people have disregarded information that was important or dumb things

:06:40. > :06:42.they should not have done, we will act on that. I have written a

:06:43. > :06:48.personal letter asking for a meeting so we can go through in more detail

:06:49. > :06:51.the issues raised in the report and anything that was behind that report

:06:52. > :06:57.that did not actually make it into print. `` or done things they should

:06:58. > :07:00.not have done. And perhaps we could have access to key documents that

:07:01. > :07:04.could help us determine what went on all of those years ago. Many of your

:07:05. > :07:08.offices treated victims with contempt, it is alleged that they

:07:09. > :07:14.lost evidence. Will you be investigating those claims properly?

:07:15. > :07:18.Absolutely, yes. There is a lot to do. This goes back over many years,

:07:19. > :07:22.we treat it seriously and clearly it will be a large investigation. We

:07:23. > :07:25.need to work out the best way of going about that. Anything that

:07:26. > :07:29.people have done which they should not have done, or if evidence was

:07:30. > :07:35.ignored or suppressed, will come within that investigation. The

:07:36. > :07:39.tension levels since this report came out are mounting, as I have

:07:40. > :07:43.experienced myself. This is a real test for the local people here. Some

:07:44. > :07:46.members of the Pakistani community claim they have received death

:07:47. > :07:50.threats as well. And just this afternoon, many members of that

:07:51. > :07:55.community met in the centre behind me. It was a packed meeting, angry

:07:56. > :07:57.and they passionate meeting as well. We have been looking at the wide

:07:58. > :08:03.implications. Muslims gather for Friday prayers

:08:04. > :08:06.at a Leeds mosque. It has been a turbulent week

:08:07. > :08:08.for the Pakistani community across Yorkshire, following a report

:08:09. > :08:11.into child sex abuse in Rotherham. It really beggars belief that we

:08:12. > :08:14.failed those who need us most. Political correctness has

:08:15. > :08:20.its own limits. When people are abusing law,

:08:21. > :08:24.when people are transgressing the boundaries,

:08:25. > :08:26.the social boundaries that we have, when people are abusing young

:08:27. > :08:29.and vulnerable individuals, A criminal is a criminal,

:08:30. > :08:37.when he or she breaks the law. Jahangir Akhtar was the former

:08:38. > :08:40.deputy leader of Rotherham Council He says now is not the time for the

:08:41. > :08:48.authorities to blame each other. There is a certain amount

:08:49. > :08:51.of soul`searching for people who And I do not mean necessarily

:08:52. > :08:56.the Pakistani community, because some other people might have

:08:57. > :08:59.known what was being done People need to come forward

:09:00. > :09:06.and identify these criminals. This media furore, over three or

:09:07. > :09:11.four days, it has been missed out that the most people who should

:09:12. > :09:14.be accountable are the evil people 3% of Rotherham's population is

:09:15. > :09:20.of Pakistani heritage. Late this afternoon,

:09:21. > :09:29.during a lively meeting, young Muslims gathered to discuss

:09:30. > :09:33.the fallout from Tuesday's report. People do feel ashamed to be

:09:34. > :09:37.associated, both culturally and religiously, with the people

:09:38. > :09:40.that committed these crimes. I wouldn't describe them as Muslims

:09:41. > :09:43.necessarily, but they are It has been an unsettling week for

:09:44. > :09:50.many in this South Yorkshire town. Seeking answers to one

:09:51. > :09:52.of the largest child abuse scandals of recent times, however,

:09:53. > :10:07.only seems to raise more questions. One of the organisers of that

:10:08. > :10:12.meeting this afternoon is with me. What has the backlash he against

:10:13. > :10:16.your community? These are the fears many people had if this situation

:10:17. > :10:20.wasn't dealt with. The community today showed they were scared of the

:10:21. > :10:24.backlash and wanted to deal with this in a positive manner. It was an

:10:25. > :10:28.angry, passionate mood in there but also quite positive as well. It was

:10:29. > :10:31.an angry mood and a passionate mood. I have been saying this for a long

:10:32. > :10:35.time, today we have seen the community does not support these

:10:36. > :10:40.actions and we want prosecutions and convictions. And the police and the

:10:41. > :10:44.council and social services need to take responsibility for their

:10:45. > :10:46.actions. You know as well as I do that many people are saying that you

:10:47. > :10:53.also need to take a possibility, that may will `` maybe somebody knew

:10:54. > :10:59.who the perpetrators were. The community in there said that they

:11:00. > :11:02.genuinely did not know. We would not see the anger, the shock, the

:11:03. > :11:07.frustration within the community if we did know. This is why when we do

:11:08. > :11:11.know, we have packed meetings as such in front of the press, it was

:11:12. > :11:15.all their lives and clear. There is nothing else I need to say that you

:11:16. > :11:19.did not see. And you know now that the way forward is very significant.

:11:20. > :11:23.What would you say to your community to try and keep things calm? We know

:11:24. > :11:27.the interest of them sleep have been around and so on. We understand far

:11:28. > :11:31.right groups and individuals would like to take over the situation.

:11:32. > :11:37.There will be at element of patients. I have had some races are

:11:38. > :11:41.myself, we are just asking to please, please stay calm. `` some

:11:42. > :11:44.races are myself. This issue has an national and global. We have the

:11:45. > :11:51.whole of Britain and nationally, eyes are on this community. We hope

:11:52. > :11:54.we can join with many people in our community to stand against this kind

:11:55. > :11:59.of issue and stand together. It will have to be that, you will have to

:12:00. > :12:02.stand together and cooperate. It cannot be an issue where it is just

:12:03. > :12:08.the Pakistani Muslim community coming out or any other community.

:12:09. > :12:12.The British Muslim news has come out today and lead today's meeting and

:12:13. > :12:16.will be moving forward. We want everybody and all other stakeholders

:12:17. > :12:20.to come together, we want to hold those people to account. The police

:12:21. > :12:25.just cannot apologise, accountability is needed. Thanks.

:12:26. > :12:27.You have an idea of the sense of feeling that exists in Rotherham

:12:28. > :12:31.after what can only be described as a terrible week.

:12:32. > :12:34.Thanks Harry, and don't forget you can see a full investigation into

:12:35. > :12:38.the child abuse in Rotherham in a special Panorama on Monday evening.

:12:39. > :12:40."Stolen Childhoods ` The grooming Scandal" will be

:12:41. > :12:47.More news around from around the region now and two men

:12:48. > :12:52.have died after a car crashed into a wall and a road sign in Doncaster.

:12:53. > :12:54.It happened on Cusworth Lane at about 1:20 this morning.

:12:55. > :12:56.A third man was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

:12:57. > :12:59.A motorcyclist from Barnsley has been killed during the

:13:00. > :13:06.50`year`old Gary Firth crashed at the 11th milestone on the TT

:13:07. > :13:09.The event's organisers have expressed their sympathy to

:13:10. > :13:17.An investigation into what caused the accident is now underway.

:13:18. > :13:20.Hundreds of Yorkshire ambulance service workers are on strike

:13:21. > :13:22.for six hours today over concerns about patient and staff safety.

:13:23. > :13:25.Members of the Unite union walked out at three o'clock.

:13:26. > :13:27.It's the latest strike in a row about meal breaks

:13:28. > :13:30.and the introduction of new emergency care assistants.

:13:31. > :13:32.A further walkout is planned for Tuesday.

:13:33. > :13:41.The ambulance service says contingency plans are in place.

:13:42. > :13:43.A hi`tech waste water treatment works designed to improve water

:13:44. > :13:46.quality around Scarborough's beaches has been officially opened today.

:13:47. > :13:48.The multimillion`pound facility at Burniston features UV lighting

:13:49. > :13:55.which zaps bugs out of storm water before it's discharged to sea.

:13:56. > :13:57.It's part of a ?110 million investment

:13:58. > :14:03.by Yorkshire Water to improve bathing water along the east coast.

:14:04. > :14:05.A multi`million pound project is underway to restore one

:14:06. > :14:08.of Yorkshire's and the world's most precious habitats.

:14:09. > :14:10.Destruction of blanket bog on the moors above many Yorkshire

:14:11. > :14:14.towns has been going on for decades, but now work is being done to halt

:14:15. > :14:21.Danny Carpenter reports from Wessenden near Holmfirth.

:14:22. > :14:23.It's a pretty industrial site for what is supposed to be

:14:24. > :14:29.But our most precious landscapes are in need of help.

:14:30. > :14:31.This is lime, gardeners use it to make soil less

:14:32. > :14:34.acidic but in this case, the garden is a thousand hectares,

:14:35. > :14:40.so you need tonnes of lime and a way of getting it where it is needed.

:14:41. > :14:44.This is supposed to be a wet landscape,

:14:45. > :14:49.but decades of drainage for grazing and grouse farming has left it dry.

:14:50. > :14:51.The blanket bogs which knit the peat together

:14:52. > :14:55.The Pennine Way crosses it, The National Trust owns it,

:14:56. > :15:02.but the restoration work is being done by a water company.

:15:03. > :15:04.Fertilising, planting, creating dams, putting back

:15:05. > :15:12.When the peat dries out, it erodes and it washes colour

:15:13. > :15:15.into the reservoirs and that costs a lot to treat.

:15:16. > :15:18.The stone dams allow the water to percolate through and then the silt

:15:19. > :15:21.and peat builds up behind that and in time, that peat, instead of

:15:22. > :15:23.washing down into the reservoirs, actually allows vegetation to grow

:15:24. > :15:29.up on it and it stabilises the whole system again. Basically, we're

:15:30. > :15:32.trying to keep these moors where they belong, which is on the top

:15:33. > :15:37.These bales of heather brash will do a similar job.

:15:38. > :15:42.Hundreds of tonnes helicoptered in to hold back the water and the peat.

:15:43. > :15:47.Many experts believe blocking the channels and restoring

:15:48. > :15:54.the bogs will reduce flood risk in the towns below the moors.

:15:55. > :15:56.It's expensive, it's inconvenient, but it is the quickest way

:15:57. > :16:05.A similar one in North Yorkshire, another ?2 million.

:16:06. > :16:12.Treating the tainted drinking water costs tens of millions of pounds.

:16:13. > :16:15.It makes sense to let the landscape do the work, even if it needs

:16:16. > :16:28.Man and machine restoring to nature what man and machine destroyed.

:16:29. > :16:35.Before seven o'clock, summer's not quite over.

:16:36. > :16:45.I meant being the music live, where I have been catching up with some

:16:46. > :16:48.legends of Britpop. `` I am at Bingley music live.

:16:49. > :16:51.Tanya's here with the sport now and we're not yet at the end of August

:16:52. > :16:55.and already two of our clubs are on the look out for new managers.

:16:56. > :17:01.More on Huddersfield's search in a moment but first up Leeds United.

:17:02. > :17:03.Owner Massimo Cellino last night sacked Dave Hockaday

:17:04. > :17:09.The sacking was less surprising than the appointment.

:17:10. > :17:12.It was all smiles when Massimo Cellino introduced Dave Hockaday

:17:13. > :17:15.but it hasn't taken long for the Italian to decide the former Forest

:17:16. > :17:19.Defeat on Wednesday night to League 1 neighbours Bradford in the

:17:20. > :17:22.Capital One Cup was the final straw for him and the fans.

:17:23. > :17:26.Shambles. Absolute shambles.

:17:27. > :17:32.Hockaday came with a good reputation as a coach, which

:17:33. > :17:36.Not for him your traditional English manager.

:17:37. > :17:41.We need a bigger name to come in, somebody who has proven that they

:17:42. > :17:50.Is he going to look through Europe until he finds another yes`man?

:17:51. > :17:54.Because this is what this guy needs, and that is a bit worrying.

:17:55. > :17:58.I would like to see Neil given a chance.

:17:59. > :18:02.He's been there a long time, served his time, let's give him a go.

:18:03. > :18:08.The Neil in question is Academy coach Neil Redfearn, no stranger

:18:09. > :18:11.of taking temporary charge of the club, and he will do so tomorrow.

:18:12. > :18:13.Is he who Cellino wants or has he got another surprise

:18:14. > :18:31.Who is in line for the job? I can throw names at you. Roberto

:18:32. > :18:35.DiMatteo, Oscar Garcia, who was at Brighton last year, Steve Clark,

:18:36. > :18:39.Gary McAllister. They say they have been inundated with people who want

:18:40. > :18:44.the job. The honest answer is, I haven't a clue and I don't think I

:18:45. > :18:49.am alone in that. As Massimo Cellino has proved, he is his own man, he

:18:50. > :18:52.will choose exactly who he wants. It may be somebody we have heard of or

:18:53. > :18:54.it might be a complete surprise. An honest answer to say, watch this

:18:55. > :18:58.space. Meanwhile, it's nearly three weeks

:18:59. > :19:01.since Mark Robins left his job In the meantime Mark Lillis has been

:19:02. > :19:06.in charge of the team while the club has talked to

:19:07. > :19:08.the likes of Neil Lennon, But would Lillis fancy

:19:09. > :19:20.the job permanently? Well it sounds You can handle the situation, handle

:19:21. > :19:24.the job, but it has not come to that decision yet. The board have not

:19:25. > :19:28.come to me and offered the job permanently. A lot of things you

:19:29. > :19:35.have to think about, I am into a two and a half year job, successful

:19:36. > :19:38.academy manager. Starting to get the foundations to produce players.

:19:39. > :19:44.There is a lot I will have to think about, if it comes to that.

:19:45. > :19:47.And as the regular Super League season approaches it's final couple

:19:48. > :19:50.of rounds, let's hope last night's amazing match between Huddersfield

:19:51. > :19:53.Giants and Warrington was a taste of what's to come in the play`offs.

:19:54. > :19:55.Typically, the Giants showed their brilliance as well as their flaws.

:19:56. > :19:58.But what an advert for the sport, as Paul Ogden reports.

:19:59. > :20:01.If only Huddersfield Giants could play like this all the time.

:20:02. > :20:02.In eight blistering minutes at Warrington,

:20:03. > :20:07.they put on a mini`exhibition of how Super League is done.

:20:08. > :20:12.After Chris Bailey's try, Ta'ai's one`man power play

:20:13. > :20:15.and then it was Shaun Lunt's turn to plunge over, Danny Brough's

:20:16. > :20:19.conversions, and a drop goal, establishing a 19`6 half`time lead.

:20:20. > :20:21.After the break it got even better, briefly,

:20:22. > :20:29.If they had left the gates open, Jodie Broughton would still be

:20:30. > :20:33.23`6 in the Giants' favour and still they let it slip.

:20:34. > :20:36.Back came Warrington with a three`try blitz that will keep

:20:37. > :20:37.the Giants' defensive coaches awake at night.

:20:38. > :20:42.With O'Brien's final conversion, Warrington edged in front, 24`23.

:20:43. > :20:44.And there was still time for another twist.

:20:45. > :20:46.Danny Brough, who else, was on the spot to tie

:20:47. > :20:49.the scores after all with his second drop goal of the night.

:20:50. > :20:52.24`24 it finished, not a scoreline that will be available

:20:53. > :21:07.I hope you get as much excitement as you are watching the Leeds` Saint

:21:08. > :21:10.Helen game this evening. I can't wait, I have got the video set and

:21:11. > :21:14.ready for it. Thanks very much. 15,000 music fans are

:21:15. > :21:17.expected at Myrtle Park in Bingley over the next three days for

:21:18. > :21:19.the Bingley Music Live festival. Fans began arriving

:21:20. > :21:21.at the site this afternoon. The festival began as a small

:21:22. > :21:24.community`run event eight years ago, This year's headliners include

:21:25. > :21:42.Example and The Pet Shop Boys. Thanks, yes, I am here at Bingley

:21:43. > :21:47.Music Live. We are just behind the main stage so it is quite live. I'm

:21:48. > :21:51.a bit disappointed because it has started raining again. It has been

:21:52. > :21:54.pouring down all afternoon and it held off for a little while but now

:21:55. > :21:59.it is back. Anyway, still having a good time. Headlining on Sunday are

:22:00. > :22:02.the Pet Shop Boys, a big band for quite a small festival. And

:22:03. > :22:06.headlining tonight, shed seven, they are from York. A little early, we

:22:07. > :22:10.were so lucky to be able to watch were so lucky to be able to watch

:22:11. > :22:12.them perform their song, going for gold, in a special acoustic session

:22:13. > :23:03.for luck North. Check this out. That was fantastic. And I was

:23:04. > :23:09.particularly excited because I purchased that as a single back in

:23:10. > :23:15.the 1990s so it was special to hear it. And it is especially have Rick

:23:16. > :23:19.with me now. In the flesh. Lovely to meet you. You are playing Bingley

:23:20. > :23:24.tonight. You have played a lot of festivals in your time, how will

:23:25. > :23:27.this measure up? This is quite local for us, we live in York. I have

:23:28. > :23:31.never been to it after all these years but I have had so many good

:23:32. > :23:35.reports. We will play the hits later this evening. Are you looking for

:23:36. > :23:41.wood to it, have you got any special new moves ready? `` looking forward.

:23:42. > :23:48.A bit of that. At a festival you should play your hits, so it will be

:23:49. > :23:53.hit heavy for an hour. Fantastic. You wrote those hits a long time ago

:23:54. > :23:56.but they still hold the test of time. Did you ever imagine you would

:23:57. > :24:04.be playing them do better than audiences in 2014? Yes. I am glad

:24:05. > :24:09.you have that confidence and belief. People persist in coming to see us

:24:10. > :24:16.so we will be there for them. I hope you enjoy it. Also with me is one of

:24:17. > :24:19.the festival organisers. Hello, Lee. Getting an act as big as the Pet

:24:20. > :24:24.Shop Boys and of course Shed seven is quite a big task. This must be

:24:25. > :24:29.quite an operation and quite a big financial operation. It is. Run by

:24:30. > :24:34.Bradford Council, it is built over eight years now. We have fantastic

:24:35. > :24:41.acts, like you say, the Pet Shop Boys, Example, Shed seven, all

:24:42. > :24:45.headlining this weekend. It has been steady growth as well, thanks to the

:24:46. > :24:49.support of the public. One other thing about this festival is that

:24:50. > :24:53.they have got a little work to do with fancy dress. If you come on

:24:54. > :24:58.Sunday, and want you to come in fancy dress, dressed as a robot. So,

:24:59. > :25:05.get the tinfoil ready if you are coming to see the Pet Shop Boys.

:25:06. > :25:13.I interviewed Shed seven almost 20 years ago as a young reporter, how

:25:14. > :25:18.old do I feel? ! Moving on to the weekend weather, how is it looking?

:25:19. > :25:20.Better for the festival on Saturday and Sunday, it has been quite soggy

:25:21. > :25:25.today. An improvement for the weekend. And actually through next

:25:26. > :25:30.week, the return of summer, something to look forward to.

:25:31. > :25:40.The first picture was taken by a visitor from Brazil. I think the

:25:41. > :25:46.landscape across the Peak District will be different to that of Brazil.

:25:47. > :25:51.Some fine weather. The second picture, yesterday. And the third, a

:25:52. > :25:54.bright North Yorkshire Moors this afternoon. There will be some

:25:55. > :25:55.brightness to come through the course of the week. Keep your

:25:56. > :26:08.pictures coming in. Tomorrow, an improvement on today,

:26:09. > :26:12.fewer showers and more sunshine. If anywhere is slow to brighten up it

:26:13. > :26:16.will be the Pennines. On Saturday and into Sunday, high pressure

:26:17. > :26:20.building, so there is some dry, settled weather to come on Sunday.

:26:21. > :26:24.You can see an area of low pressure nudging in from the west, bringing

:26:25. > :26:27.cloud on Sunday and windy conditions into Monday as well. Then it will

:26:28. > :26:32.brighten up and settle down next week. We have had if you showers and

:26:33. > :26:37.some of them have been heavy. You can make out the clouds on the

:26:38. > :26:41.satellite picture, you can make out the area of low pressure which will

:26:42. > :26:45.continue to feed in showers over the next few hours. Some could be heavy

:26:46. > :26:50.in the short term. They will tend to become lighter to the end of the

:26:51. > :26:55.night, when temperatures will drop back to 13 degrees, 55 Fahrenheit.

:26:56. > :26:58.In the east we should have some breaks in the cloud developing as we

:26:59. > :27:03.head towards the morning. The sun will rise in the morning at 11

:27:04. > :27:09.minutes past six, setting again soon after seven o'clock. As we go

:27:10. > :27:13.through tomorrow, we will start off with quite a lot of cloud over the

:27:14. > :27:17.Pennines, some showers here, but that will improve. The odd shower

:27:18. > :27:20.anywhere tomorrow but generally dry weather, brightening up with

:27:21. > :27:25.pleasant sunshine. Not quite as breezy as it has been today,

:27:26. > :27:29.either. A light breeze, temperatures reaching where they should be for

:27:30. > :27:34.the time of year, 19 or 20 degrees. 20 is 68 Fahrenheit. Clouding over

:27:35. > :27:35.from the West on Sunday, some early rain clearing to the south on

:27:36. > :27:44.Monday. We are both back with the late news

:27:45. > :27:47.and weather at 10:25pm. Have a lovely evening, goodbye.
