:00:00. > :00:00.Oood evening and welcome to Thursday's Look North.

:00:00. > :00:07.On the programme tonight, a double helping of good news

:00:08. > :00:12.1700 jobs at Tata Steel factories are saved as an Indian company does

:00:13. > :00:20.We'll hear the details of the agreement and what it means

:00:21. > :00:25.Racing car manufacturers McLaren choose Rotherham

:00:26. > :00:31.for a new ?50 million factory creating 200 jobs.

:00:32. > :00:34.Hundreds of mourners pay their respects as a teenage girl

:00:35. > :00:43.stabbed to death in Rotherham is laid to rest.

:00:44. > :00:50.Sing the song of Yorkshire from the Humber to the tease. Of horses,

:00:51. > :00:53.terriers, pudding and a cheese. Well, the cold weather

:00:54. > :00:58.looks set to continue. The risk of some snow for the hills

:00:59. > :01:00.into Saturday morning. Good evening - and it's not often

:01:01. > :01:15.that we can start the programme The luxury super car manufacturer

:01:16. > :01:20.McLaren is creating a ?50 million Meanwhile Tata Steel

:01:21. > :01:27.is selling its speciality steel business for ?100 million

:01:28. > :01:30.to Liberty House, which will safeguard

:01:31. > :01:32.the sites in Rotherham, Let's cross first to our political

:01:33. > :01:37.editor, Len Tingle, who's in Rotherham with the latest on this

:01:38. > :01:52.Tata Steel announcement. Well, this is the old plant here in

:01:53. > :01:55.Rotherham. You can see the Tata sign behind me. That will change to

:01:56. > :01:59.Liberty House in the next couple of months. The same will happen just

:02:00. > :02:04.down the road at rings worth and at Stockbridge eight about 50 miles

:02:05. > :02:08.away. There was so much concern for the future of these plants that the

:02:09. > :02:11.local community and trade unions held protest marches through the

:02:12. > :02:14.summer because they wanted these plants to be sold. Tata said they

:02:15. > :02:19.did not want to continue but there was concern that no buyer would be

:02:20. > :02:26.found. The concern was that they were unprofitable because of

:02:27. > :02:29.international competition, unfair international competition,

:02:30. > :02:33.particularly dumping from China. Today's sale has certainly lifted

:02:34. > :02:39.the clouds over these plants. That was certainly the reaction that I

:02:40. > :02:42.got from Chris Williamson, the senior convenor for the trade unions

:02:43. > :02:43.here. I spoke to him a couple of hours ago.

:02:44. > :02:46.Given the right investment and given our product that we make

:02:47. > :02:49.we should be able to be fit for the future and

:02:50. > :02:52.move on and be great for this area because without this steel industry,

:02:53. > :03:07.So, the unions seem positive. What is the future for the plants? Well,

:03:08. > :03:14.these are specialist steels, high steels. They are in the market of

:03:15. > :03:18.automotive, aerospace, the offshore oil and gas industry. High-quality

:03:19. > :03:22.steels that have a market. There is an international competition for

:03:23. > :03:30.them but the understanding is that Liberty House, which now becomes the

:03:31. > :03:33.biggest steel-maker in the UK, will find markets for these, put more

:03:34. > :03:39.investment in hand hopefully increase the output. Reaction from

:03:40. > :03:44.Tata was that because the workforce and the management at these three

:03:45. > :03:47.plants have worked very well over the past few months and last couple

:03:48. > :03:52.of years to be able to turn these businesses around, that is what has

:03:53. > :04:00.attracted the new buyer and the new investment and certainly when I

:04:01. > :04:02.spoke to Leanne deeming from Tarter -- from Tata earlier today, her view

:04:03. > :04:05.was it was down to the workforce. I think what it is is about a credit

:04:06. > :04:08.to the employees and trade unions and the management here is being

:04:09. > :04:11.about pulling together and really finding something which will make us

:04:12. > :04:14.a fit for the future through that transformation plan and focusing

:04:15. > :04:17.on the value-added product such as aerospace and others, which take us

:04:18. > :04:29.forward for the future. Well, I understand there are still a

:04:30. > :04:32.few little things to sort out but it is thought that the final deal will

:04:33. > :04:36.he find within the next couple of months and that is when these signs

:04:37. > :04:38.will be shifted and the new ones will go up. Ron here in Rotherham,

:04:39. > :04:41.back to you in the studio. Next tonight, and the luxury super

:04:42. > :04:43.car manufacturer McLaren is going to build a ?50 million

:04:44. > :04:45.chassis factory, creating Well, the Liberty House group

:04:46. > :04:47.is buying the Speciality steel business from

:04:48. > :04:49.Tata for ?100 million. So what does that

:04:50. > :04:51.mean for its future? Jon Bolton, the Chief Executive

:04:52. > :04:54.Officer of Liberty Steel UK Plates, told us why he was optimistic

:04:55. > :04:56.for the future. I think it is a very positive

:04:57. > :04:59.reinforcement of the strength of the plants in South Yorkshire

:05:00. > :05:01.and indeed in the Midlands We strongly believe in the future

:05:02. > :05:06.for these businesses. They have got a very positive

:05:07. > :05:12.and strong product range and they are a technically competent

:05:13. > :05:16.and capable workforce so we think the money that pays for this

:05:17. > :05:19.business is very good value. There is always uncertainty

:05:20. > :05:25.when the business changes hands. Can you guarantee that jobs

:05:26. > :05:27.are going to be saved, I think a major positive

:05:28. > :05:32.of the announcement they made today is to remove that uncertainty over

:05:33. > :05:35.jobs and yes, we are saying that we will maintain the same

:05:36. > :05:38.jobs in this business as there are at the moment

:05:39. > :05:41.and indeed we will look for ways to actually build this business

:05:42. > :05:44.and grow this business And as I understand it,

:05:45. > :05:50.the pension fund has How have you managed

:05:51. > :05:57.to resolve that? I would not say that pensions

:05:58. > :05:59.has been a stumbling This is clearly an issue that Tata

:06:00. > :06:03.are dealing with at the moment We will look to honour whatever

:06:04. > :06:08.the employees decide they want to do through the ballot that is taking

:06:09. > :06:13.place at the moment. We look forward to engaging

:06:14. > :06:15.with them and consulting with them in the very near future

:06:16. > :06:18.about our plans for the business. And what about the future,

:06:19. > :06:21.are you in this for the long haul? This is a major strategic

:06:22. > :06:24.move for liberty. This is a major strategic

:06:25. > :06:26.move for Liberty. Liberty has a vision for steel

:06:27. > :06:28.manufacturing and manufacturing in general in the UK,

:06:29. > :06:31.which is our green steel vision where we take recycled steel

:06:32. > :06:33.that is arising in the UK, melt it in the electric furnaces

:06:34. > :06:36.at Rotherham and that steel is applied in the downstream

:06:37. > :06:38.processes where we are These are technically advanced

:06:39. > :06:46.engineered steels that, as I have said, support

:06:47. > :06:48.the automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, industrial

:06:49. > :06:49.engineering sectors. OK, John Bolton, thank you very much

:06:50. > :06:52.for your time tonight. Next tonight, and the luxury super

:06:53. > :06:58.car manufacturer McLaren is going to build a ?50 million

:06:59. > :07:02.chassis factory, creating The factory will build

:07:03. > :07:08.parts for the super cars at the University

:07:09. > :07:10.of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research

:07:11. > :07:11.Centre near Rotherham. Construction's due to start soon,

:07:12. > :07:13.with two years of research and development work

:07:14. > :07:25.ahead of production. If you like your toys, you are

:07:26. > :07:32.probably familiar with McLaren's supercars. The ultimate in precision

:07:33. > :07:37.engineering and pretty soon, made in Yorkshire. Well, this bit anyway. It

:07:38. > :07:41.is the chassis, which up until now has been manufactured outside the

:07:42. > :07:45.UK. But today a deal was signed which will bring production to the

:07:46. > :07:49.Sheffield city region. This is a big investment for us full stop to have

:07:50. > :07:53.very supportive partners makes it work. Actually because there has

:07:54. > :08:00.been is kind of work in the region for a time, growing, quite a bit of

:08:01. > :08:03.aerospace herewith air bus, Rolls-Royce, there are school people

:08:04. > :08:09.here already in the area, so we are not starting from scratch. -- there

:08:10. > :08:13.are skilled people here. The prototype will be made here at

:08:14. > :08:16.Sheffield University's factory, just up the road from the advanced

:08:17. > :08:20.manufacturing Park. It is that the kind of investment the region is

:08:21. > :08:23.pushing for. This is a fully commercial manufacturing

:08:24. > :08:26.environment. Stuff that is made in this place can do things, can fly

:08:27. > :08:33.the stop the University of Sheffield was hurling supplier of the year. We

:08:34. > :08:37.have eliminated the gap between ideas, research and products. We are

:08:38. > :08:40.the only place to have done it in that way. The price tag on these

:08:41. > :08:44.cars beans they are way outside the budget of most of us but the fact

:08:45. > :08:48.that at least part of them is going to be built in the region is a

:08:49. > :08:53.fantastic calling card. It is also a brilliant way to get more young

:08:54. > :08:56.people interested in engineering. 200 jobs will be created here,

:08:57. > :09:00.including a number of apprentice posts. The first of those has just

:09:01. > :09:05.been given the good news. It is exciting. And yes, it was pretty

:09:06. > :09:13.unexpected. I did not expect it to come along and iCal myself extremely

:09:14. > :09:17.lucky. -- I count myself extremely lucky. To be working on machines

:09:18. > :09:20.like that is ready quite something. The technical bit is the material

:09:21. > :09:25.the chassis will be made from, something that will help develop

:09:26. > :09:29.more electric cars going forward. Realistically, most people just like

:09:30. > :09:32.the way they look for stop a lot of manufacturing and engineering. It is

:09:33. > :09:36.a fascinating discipline but when this is the product that results

:09:37. > :09:38.from it, you can't help getting inspired, motivated and excited and

:09:39. > :09:44.it ready does work and all the people that work for us are really

:09:45. > :09:47.proud of the products that we make. The first Yorkshire bill chassis

:09:48. > :09:49.could be Parry off the line by summer next year. -- the first

:09:50. > :09:52.Yorkshire tilt chassis. Getting the new contract

:09:53. > :09:55.from Mclaren is a huge boost for the Sheffield City Region -

:09:56. > :09:58.not just in terms of jobs, but also in terms of its reputation

:09:59. > :10:00.for advanced manufacturing. Leigh Bramall is deputy leader

:10:01. > :10:11.of Sheffield City Council Just how much of a coup is this to

:10:12. > :10:17.get McLaren would you say? It is a massive coup and it tilts part of

:10:18. > :10:21.wider brands for an advanced Manufacturing innovation district

:10:22. > :10:24.between Sheffield and Rotherham. -- part of wider plans. We already have

:10:25. > :10:28.Rolls-Royce doing research and development, so there is a good

:10:29. > :10:31.track record of commitment that we can do this sort of thing but there

:10:32. > :10:33.is no doubt that getting a company like McLaren relocating from

:10:34. > :10:40.elsewhere in Europe back to the UK in the Sheffield on a more high-tech

:10:41. > :10:43.jobs, is a huge boost to our plans. There was concern after Brexit that

:10:44. > :10:48.investors would not want to invest in the UK. If that still a concern

:10:49. > :10:51.for you? It remains to be seen what happens with that. There is a lot of

:10:52. > :10:55.uncertainty around Brexit and it depends what kind of ultimate deal

:10:56. > :10:57.and exit we have but certainly speaking to McLaren, they have

:10:58. > :11:01.considered all the factors before making this investment and they

:11:02. > :11:06.still believe that the expertise that they will have access to in

:11:07. > :11:09.research and development that can undertake in Sheffield and Rotherham

:11:10. > :11:12.more than makes up for any negatives. They are happy to go

:11:13. > :11:17.forward with the investment. McLaren is good news but Tata is also great

:11:18. > :11:21.news. That news might have a knock-on effect for other businesses

:11:22. > :11:24.as well. Both announcements have a knock on effects were other

:11:25. > :11:28.businesses because they will both invest in the supply chain and keep

:11:29. > :11:36.complete in the area going and gain business for them. A confident these

:11:37. > :11:40.as well. A massive confidence boost. We debate the final outcome for the

:11:41. > :11:44.jobs because that is unclear looking at some of the announcements that

:11:45. > :11:47.have come through the day, so a cautious welcome my thing but

:11:48. > :11:51.overall a fantastic day for Sheffield, Rotherham, Sheffield city

:11:52. > :11:53.region, it shows what we can do when we work together. Not a bad day for

:11:54. > :11:56.the Council. Get, fantastic. Looking ahead to the

:11:57. > :11:59.start of Super League. Tanya rounds up what's in store

:12:00. > :12:02.for the region's teams this season and we've got Big Eorl Crabtree

:12:03. > :12:09.in the studio as well. Hundreds of mourners have attended

:12:10. > :12:12.the funeral of 16-year-old school girl Leonne Weeks,

:12:13. > :12:14.who was stabbed to death last Her family thanked the community

:12:15. > :12:20.for their support and say "their beautiful daughter is loved

:12:21. > :12:23.and sadly missed" as A horse-drawn hearse

:12:24. > :12:30.carried Leonne's Coffin. Hundreds followed in

:12:31. > :12:33.procession through the town Those unable to squeeze inside stood

:12:34. > :12:43.silent in the bitter cold outside, heads bowed in poignant reflection

:12:44. > :12:50.at a young life lived and lost. She was a lively 16-year-old but now

:12:51. > :12:56.it's grief and the sense on the one hand wanting to remember

:12:57. > :12:59.Leonne with thankfulness but also the terrible loss that

:13:00. > :13:05.so many people have suffered. Leonne's body was discovered on a

:13:06. > :13:08.pathway in Dinnington on January 15. An 18-year-old man has been

:13:09. > :13:12.charged with her murder. Leonne was such a good

:13:13. > :13:14.friend to us all. Words cannot describe how much

:13:15. > :13:21.we love and miss her. The congregation heard

:13:22. > :13:23.how Leonne was growing One of her school friends

:13:24. > :13:28.sang during the service. # Oh, I hope you're dancing

:13:29. > :13:36.in the sky # And I hope you're singing

:13:37. > :13:46.in the angel's choir There were so many flowers

:13:47. > :13:49.they had to be carried Among scores of messages,

:13:50. > :13:52.one from her brother Levi, which read "words cannot describe

:13:53. > :13:55.how I feel. Today will be the

:13:56. > :13:57.hardest of my life. Leonne's family have asked to be

:13:58. > :14:05.left to grieve in peace. After the service, mourners left

:16:11. > :16:16.It's a big year for Rugby league with the World Cup at the end of it,

:16:49. > :16:54.I think we are capable of challenging on all fronts this year.

:16:55. > :16:58.I have felt that way for a few years but for whatever reason it

:16:59. > :17:00.hasn't quite happened at the end of competitions.

:17:01. > :17:03.This year, I think we've got a great chance but you can talk

:17:04. > :17:05.as much as you want, pre-season has been fantastic,

:17:06. > :17:08.now it is about delivering on what we think we can do.

:17:12. > :17:17.The message this season is simple, must do better.

:17:18. > :17:19.Hopefully a little bit more composure in attack.

:17:20. > :17:21.A little bit more resolved, defensively, you know,

:17:22. > :17:29.we let in far too many points last year and some soft points, really.

:17:30. > :17:31.We leaked 25 points a game on average I think

:17:44. > :17:45.The Rhinos have resisted wholesale changes.

:17:46. > :17:50.The year before we had a fantastic year.

:17:51. > :17:53.12 months later we find ourselves, you know, at a certain time

:17:54. > :17:56.where we were swimming around the bottom of the league.

:17:57. > :17:59.It wasn't because they became poor players overnight.

:18:00. > :18:02.You know, the answer is not always changing players.

:18:03. > :18:07.Under coach Chris Chester, Wakefield climbed into

:18:08. > :18:12.They have held onto their young talent and

:18:13. > :18:16.They are looking to keep climbing that ladder.

:18:17. > :18:19.We have spoken about improving on last year.

:18:20. > :18:27.We certainly feel the top six is achievable this year,

:18:28. > :18:31.that is a goal we have set and we weren't far away last year

:18:32. > :18:34.Will the trophy head back to West Yorkshire?

:18:35. > :18:42.If it does, who will be taking it home?

:18:43. > :18:50.Well, I have got my biggest shoes on to deal with my guest, Eorl

:18:51. > :18:52.Crabtree. Is it strange to be talking to me here rather than

:18:53. > :18:58.preparing this weekend to play with the Giants? You would think I would

:18:59. > :19:00.be used to it now but I know what you mean, that sensation of being

:19:01. > :19:04.able to walk out onto the field with the rest of the lads, that is going

:19:05. > :19:08.to hurt the little bit. That is the bit I worried about, all of this

:19:09. > :19:12.preseason I haven't missed it, but that is because I have seen the boys

:19:13. > :19:17.training, training really hard. How will they do without you this

:19:18. > :19:19.season? It is tough to say. Last season was really bad pass.

:19:20. > :19:25.Finishing bottom of the league just wasn't acceptable. We have some good

:19:26. > :19:28.players, Rick Stone is a great coach, working so hard at the

:19:29. > :19:36.moment. I think top eight is where we want to be and competing. Leads

:19:37. > :19:39.had a tough season. -- Leeds had a tough season. They get under way

:19:40. > :19:43.tonight. Everybody is saying they surely can't go badly again? I agree

:19:44. > :19:48.with that. They have not recruited that many players stop does that

:19:49. > :19:52.surprise you? It does. After the year they had I thought they would

:19:53. > :19:54.go for a view more high profile names but they are good bring

:19:55. > :19:58.youngsters through and that is what they have relied on in the past.

:19:59. > :20:02.That's how they have won trophies. I expect them to be better but that is

:20:03. > :20:07.a tough start as in Helen 's. I look forward to watching that. In that

:20:08. > :20:13.warm, not out in the cold! Wakefield did fantastically. Their manager is

:20:14. > :20:17.saying they are aiming for top six. Is that realistic? I think so. They

:20:18. > :20:23.have had fantastic recruitment. They have got them all on board. Ultimate

:20:24. > :20:28.professionals. Scott has that experience and also ability to bring

:20:29. > :20:33.the team together. Grateful back and he will add a lot to them. New

:20:34. > :20:36.dimension to the side. They will go well, I think. Castleford, a lot of

:20:37. > :20:40.people saying this could be their year, away from the big one is are

:20:41. > :20:46.used to seeing. Could it be them? I think so. They are the most exciting

:20:47. > :20:50.team at the moment. They will be the ones everyone is watching and I hope

:20:51. > :20:54.their performances at what we expect. I think it will be a big

:20:55. > :20:57.year. If you are going to pick a team at this point, I noticed a long

:20:58. > :21:04.way to Old Trafford, who would it be? To get to the final, apart from

:21:05. > :21:07.the Giants, I think Wigan are always going to be the favourite but

:21:08. > :21:14.looking at that Castleford side, the Likud upset a few team. -- they

:21:15. > :21:18.could upset a few teams. We have a before and after shot beaut capacity

:21:19. > :21:26.when you were last here. You have had your nose done! It is a little

:21:27. > :21:29.bit straighter. I spoke to my surgeon a couple of weeks ago, he

:21:30. > :21:34.said it would take 18 months to go down. I hope it takes a bit longer

:21:35. > :21:39.to go down. I am used to having the big, broken nose. At least it is a

:21:40. > :21:41.bit straighter and apples and your daughter has got used to it? Not

:21:42. > :21:44.quite but she will! I tell you one thing, I won't say it

:21:45. > :21:52.is a bad job. You look beautiful! When it comes to milestones,

:21:53. > :21:54.this is a quite remarkable one. Doreen Brigham from Clint

:21:55. > :21:56.in North Yorkshire has reached You will, I am sure,

:21:57. > :22:02.remember this wonderful lady as she wrote the words for the BBC's

:22:03. > :22:04.specially commissioned Symphony for Yorkshire

:22:05. > :22:08.at the tender age of 98. I had the pleasure of meeting her

:22:09. > :22:11.on her 100th birthday five years ago and John Cundy has been back

:22:12. > :22:16.to see her today. # Sing the song of Yorkshire

:22:17. > :22:20.from the Humber to the Tees, # Of horses, wool and terriers,

:22:21. > :22:25.of pudding and a cheese. # I know no other county

:22:26. > :22:29.where the land is quite so fine. # It's England's lovely county,

:22:30. > :22:38.and I'm proud to call it mine.# The unforgettable words

:22:39. > :22:43.of Doreen Brigham at the age of 98. # When I have done my roaming

:22:44. > :22:54.and when my step grows slow, # When heart and mind assure me,

:22:55. > :22:58.it will soon be time to go. # Then let me rest in Yorkshire,

:22:59. > :23:08.for its there I want to live # Then let me rest in Yorkshire,

:23:09. > :23:12.for its there I want to lie With sun and wind and heather and a gleaming

:23:13. > :23:14.Yorkshire sky. But, if it had not been

:23:15. > :23:16.for the Symphony for Yorkshire, Doreen's inspired words might never

:23:17. > :23:19.have reached such a wide audience. This just happened to be one I had

:23:20. > :23:24.written and then the paper opened this competition and I thought well,

:23:25. > :23:27.I wrote a little poem once, I will send it up

:23:28. > :23:38.and I completely forgot about it. On the Doreen's very special day

:23:39. > :23:41.today, messages from far and wide. What does it mean to you to get

:23:42. > :23:44.a card from the Queen? I send you my warm congratulations

:23:45. > :23:51.and best wishes for your 105th birthday on the 9th

:23:52. > :23:55.of February 2017. And a special birthday

:23:56. > :24:05.message from Doreen's son. It won't be believed

:24:06. > :24:14.by most of the folk. Still, well done, old girl,

:24:15. > :24:16.you've made it at last. Whatever the future,

:24:17. > :24:19.you've a hell of a past. I don't feel I've done

:24:20. > :24:21.anything special, I've You can't do much

:24:22. > :24:33.about that, can you? She is fantastic. Wonderful. Happy

:24:34. > :24:38.birthday. It must be the Yorkshire air that keeps her going. Well done.

:24:39. > :24:43.That is move on to the weather. Somebody said your new suits make

:24:44. > :24:50.you look like a smart second-hand car salesman. Would you buy one off

:24:51. > :24:54.me, Harry? I would buy anything few! I think it is a bit Saturday night

:24:55. > :25:00.Fever! What do you reckon? Some of us have got to work the night but

:25:01. > :25:04.the four yourself! -- speak for yourself!

:25:05. > :25:14.Quite a bit of snow there as you can see in that photograph. The next

:25:15. > :25:18.one, if you have not done that walk, it is absolutely beautiful. And the

:25:19. > :25:29.third one, that is stunning. A beautiful sunrise. Keep the pictures

:25:30. > :25:33.coming in. Let us have a look at the headline for the next 24 hours. It

:25:34. > :25:37.is cloudy and grey. There will be a wintry flurry but an interesting

:25:38. > :25:43.feature coming in on Friday night into Saturday morning, the showers

:25:44. > :25:46.are going to become heavier and more frequent and I suspect there could

:25:47. > :25:50.be several centimetres of snow over the hills, the North Yorkshire moors

:25:51. > :25:57.and the Pennine drew the course of Saturday. Otherwise sleet and rain

:25:58. > :26:01.is more likely. I think the night it is cloudy, damp. There will be

:26:02. > :26:05.flurries in places that may cause a problem on untreated services with

:26:06. > :26:12.ice a hazard. The lowest temperatures tonight around or just

:26:13. > :26:23.below freezing in many areas. A moderate east north-east wind. The

:26:24. > :26:27.sun rises in the morning at 7:37am. So, it is another drab day. It is

:26:28. > :26:30.cloudy and there will be some brighter spells coming through but a

:26:31. > :26:34.fair few wintry showers from the word go that will continue to feed

:26:35. > :26:38.in from the North Sea. A slight covering on the North York moors but

:26:39. > :26:42.I think once you get to the west and south of Yorkshire, very little,

:26:43. > :26:46.just a few flurries here and there. The wind will eventually back off to

:26:47. > :26:53.the north-east and could freshen especially along the coast and over

:26:54. > :26:56.the hills. It will feel cold. Maximum temperatures, the average is

:26:57. > :27:01.seven Celsius for February but we are looking at higher temperatures

:27:02. > :27:09.of around three Celsius tomorrow. I think the era one or two over the

:27:10. > :27:13.high ground. -- I think one or two Celsius over high ground. Friday

:27:14. > :27:17.night into Saturday, that little feature comes in, so it will pack

:27:18. > :27:23.the showers up. Shall we outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. Not

:27:24. > :27:27.exclusively over the hills. Sunday quietens town, slightly less cold. I

:27:28. > :27:32.think next week dominantly dry and a dozen less cold. If you have any

:27:33. > :27:39.questions, I will be live on Facebook at 7:05pm. Paul, the Arthur

:27:40. > :27:42.Daley of weather forecasting! That is my confidence shot! Back here at

:27:43. > :27:55.10pm. The later on. OK, everyone, have you got

:27:56. > :28:02.your bamboo sticks? If you just paint

:28:03. > :28:04.what you want to paint, I've turned around,

:28:05. > :28:10.my painting washes away. ..and take on

:28:11. > :28:15.The Big Painting Challenge. Remember, you're not painting

:28:16. > :28:45.a pond. Before I met you,
