:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening. so it's goodbye from me,
:00:00. > :00:00.You're watching Tuesday's Look North.
:00:00. > :00:09.A BBC investigation reveals the shocking state of some council
:00:10. > :00:11.houses and how Yorkshire's local authorities are paying
:00:12. > :00:18.We put this wallpaper up about six months ago and it's completely
:00:19. > :00:23.mouldy and the wall underneath is completely wet.
:00:24. > :00:26.We'll hear how claims management companies are targeting tenants
:00:27. > :00:33.Anger over plans to build a multi-million pound incinerator
:00:34. > :00:41.in the Aire Valley prompt a public meeting.
:00:42. > :00:44.And the first timetabled steam train service in England
:00:45. > :00:49.for nearly 50 years takes to the tracks in North Yorkshire.
:00:50. > :00:52.Well, at long last, milder air is on the way over the next 24 hours
:00:53. > :01:09.First tonight, a BBC Yorkshire investigation has revealed that
:01:10. > :01:13.thousands of council house tenants are living in squalor and in homes
:01:14. > :01:18.One of our authorities has paid out millions of pounds in compensation
:01:19. > :01:22.claims for disrepair and one tenant went to court seven times
:01:23. > :01:28.Over the last five years, councils across England paid
:01:29. > :01:31.out more than ?35 million in compensation and legal
:01:32. > :01:35.fees to tenants living in damp or unfit homes.
:01:36. > :01:38.In Yorkshire the highest pay-out total
:01:39. > :01:42.was by Leeds Council who handed out ?4.5m,
:01:43. > :01:52.where they failed to adequately maintain or undertake repairs.
:01:53. > :01:55.Tonight, the council has defended itself saying its invested millions
:01:56. > :01:57.in its properties but the age and character
:01:58. > :02:01.of the homes makes it difficult to avoid damp.
:02:02. > :02:04.Anna Crossley has this exclusive report.
:02:05. > :02:08.So, as you can see here, we put this wallpaper up about six months ago
:02:09. > :02:13.and it's completely mouldy and the wall underneath
:02:14. > :02:20.And even our shoes are mouldy as well.
:02:21. > :02:27.Katerina is a student and part-time cleaner.
:02:28. > :02:31.She pays in Leeds City Council around ?270 a month to
:02:32. > :02:35.live in a flat which is riddled with mould.
:02:36. > :02:38.It's now so bad she believes it's making her ill.
:02:39. > :02:41.Although Katerina hasn't taken the council to court,
:02:42. > :02:52.She says he and his brother sound like this all the time,
:02:53. > :02:59.She claims it's because their rented house is still damp.
:03:00. > :03:04.Two years ago, Ann successfully sued Leeds City Council because the
:03:05. > :03:08.property was so poorly maintained, but she says the problems remain
:03:09. > :03:11.so she is taking legal action once again.
:03:12. > :03:15.Holes in the walls upstairs in both the bathroom and the toilet.
:03:16. > :03:29.It's just running through the centre of the entire house and at the front
:03:30. > :03:34.Social housing in Leeds has such a bad reputation
:03:35. > :03:38.that claims management companies are now targeting the city,
:03:39. > :03:42.encouraging tenants to take the council to court.
:03:43. > :03:46.These firms identify properties which are in a poor state
:03:47. > :03:49.of repair and then for a finder's fee, pass on the tenant's details to
:03:50. > :04:00.Quite a lot of staining and deterioration in the plaster.
:04:01. > :04:02.Bobby Kennedy runs a claims management company
:04:03. > :04:05.and says Ann almost certainly has another case against the council.
:04:06. > :04:07.We'll just show you the level it goes up to.
:04:08. > :04:12.The compensation paid to the tenants to replace the things
:04:13. > :04:14.that have been damaged due to the disrepair in the properties.
:04:15. > :04:16.The council themselves have an obligation to repair
:04:17. > :04:19.and when they agree to do the repairs, if they
:04:20. > :04:22.decide then not to do it and the tenant contacts us again,
:04:23. > :04:24.then we will get involved again to help the tenant.
:04:25. > :04:28.Solicitor Nina Patel often takes on Bobby's clients and she
:04:29. > :04:31.rejects the idea that legal firms are simply cashing in,
:04:32. > :04:35.arguing that landlords need to be held accountable.
:04:36. > :04:40.They are very quick to charge rent and evict the clients if
:04:41. > :04:44.the tenants aren't maintaining the payments, so equally, why can't
:04:45. > :04:47.these tenants go and get legal advice if their repairs
:04:48. > :04:52.I don't think it's just about money and profit,
:04:53. > :04:55.it's more about improving the conditions.
:04:56. > :04:57.They're paying rent and they shouldn't be living
:04:58. > :05:01.At a time when council services are being cut
:05:02. > :05:05.in line with dwindling budgets, many will question why millions
:05:06. > :05:09.of pounds are being spent on compensation and legal fees
:05:10. > :05:19.instead of fixing the problems in the first place.
:05:20. > :05:21.Anna, many people will be shocked that people are living in these
:05:22. > :05:26.What happened to the tenants since the film?
:05:27. > :05:27.Well, since filming, Katerina told us that
:05:28. > :05:30.someone from Leeds City Council has been round to her flat and washed
:05:31. > :05:33.the mould off the walls, but she is concerned
:05:34. > :05:38.Unfortunately, Ann's situation remains unresolved, but
:05:39. > :05:42.she says she now has the backing of her local MP, Rachel Reeves.
:05:43. > :05:45.And have we heard anything from Leeds Council on this?
:05:46. > :05:47.Well, unfortunately, no one from the council
:05:48. > :05:50.but they did give us a statement instead.
:05:51. > :05:53.They said, we take repair obligations very seriously.
:05:54. > :05:56.In the last financial year, we have carried out
:05:57. > :06:00.around 200,000 repairs, over 95% of which were completed
:06:01. > :06:06.The statement also goes on to say, we would always encourage
:06:07. > :06:14.tenants to approach us first before pursuing legal action as many of our
:06:15. > :06:17.tenants may not be aware that firms who claim on their behalf will
:06:18. > :06:20.typically recover twice as much for themselves in legal costs
:06:21. > :06:27.A teenager has appeared in court in Leeds today charged
:06:28. > :06:29.with the murder of a 16-year-old boy in the city.
:06:30. > :06:31.Irfan Wahid died after he was attacked
:06:32. > :06:39.Phil Bodmer was in court and has more.
:06:40. > :06:42.A 16-year-old who can't be named because of his age appearred here
:06:43. > :06:44.at Leeds Youth Court early this morning.
:06:45. > :06:46.He is charged with murder and possession of a bladed article,
:06:47. > :06:49.He appeared in the dock wearing a grey sweatshirt
:06:50. > :06:54.He was flanked by two security guards.
:06:55. > :06:58.He spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth.
:06:59. > :07:00.Police were called to an address on Harehills Lane in Leeds
:07:01. > :07:06.16-year-old Irfan Wahid was taken to hospital for treatment
:07:07. > :07:11.A postmortem examination conducted on Sunday
:07:12. > :07:16.confirmed the cause of death as a single stab wood to the chest.
:07:17. > :07:19.Flowers were laid at the scene as police enquiries into what happened
:07:20. > :07:25.District Judge Adrian Lower remanded the youth
:07:26. > :07:28.into custody, pending an appearance at
:07:29. > :07:36.Leeds Crown Court on Thursday the 16th of February.
:07:37. > :07:38.Meanwhile, a 34-year-old man has appeared before
:07:39. > :07:40.Leeds Magistrates charged with the murder of a man also
:07:41. > :07:46.Bartlomiej Dedek was remanded in custody and will appear
:07:47. > :07:53.Three other men and a woman have been released without charge.
:07:54. > :07:56.A Leeds lawyer and former Ukip parliamentary candidate has
:07:57. > :08:01.won his appeal against allegations he "pestered" women at a work party.
:08:02. > :08:03.Barrister Stephen Howd was charged with misconduct
:08:04. > :08:06.after the social event at Zenith Chambers in Leeds
:08:07. > :08:11.He was later fined ?1800 by a disciplinary tribunal.
:08:12. > :08:15.But a High Court judge ruled today that his "inappropriate" behaviour
:08:16. > :08:24.Birds of prey will be used to scare away gulls
:08:25. > :08:26.in Scarborough and Whitby, after councillors approved
:08:27. > :08:29.Herring gull nests and eggs will also be removed
:08:30. > :08:35.A company called NBC Environment will carry out the work,
:08:36. > :08:37.with their contract starting from next month.
:08:38. > :08:39.The council says the measures are needed because of nuisance
:08:40. > :08:44.complaints and so-called "gull muggings."
:08:45. > :08:50.Charlotte's meeting those helping some of Yorkshire's lonely hearts.
:08:51. > :08:52.Happy Valentine's Day from Wakefield.
:08:53. > :08:54.We're having a cup of tea, enjoying some cake,
:08:55. > :08:58.making friends in a scheme designed to combat loneliness
:08:59. > :09:11.Homeowners near Keighley say their lives have been put
:09:12. > :09:14.on hold as they wait to hear whether a giant incinerator
:09:15. > :09:18.will be built next to their properties.
:09:19. > :09:20.They're worried the ?135 million plant
:09:21. > :09:24.at Thwaites will cause pollution, noise and ruin the landscape
:09:25. > :09:27.and have organised a public meeting this evening to highlight the issue.
:09:28. > :09:30.But councillors say the site will create jobs
:09:31. > :09:37.Nestled in the Aire Valley, Charlotte says one of the reasons
:09:38. > :09:40.she chose to live here was because of the view,
:09:41. > :09:42.but soon that few could include a waste incinerator
:09:43. > :09:52.Lots of people round here have children
:09:53. > :09:58.We don't know ultimately what's coming out of that facility
:09:59. > :10:01.and whether it will actually have a really negative impact on our
:10:02. > :10:05.It's thought the move will create hundreds of jobs and building work
:10:06. > :10:08.has already started to clear the area.
:10:09. > :10:11.But Charlotte isn't the only unhappy local.
:10:12. > :10:13.More than 5000 people have joined a Facebook group
:10:14. > :10:18.supporting her campaign including neighbour, Roland.
:10:19. > :10:22.It's a beautiful landscape with rolling hillsides and farmland
:10:23. > :10:26.but also its unknown publisher and that's
:10:27. > :10:29.going to be emitted from the incinerator.
:10:30. > :10:31.Most incinerators in the UK are household waste.
:10:32. > :10:33.This is designated for commercial waste and
:10:34. > :10:45.We just don't know what the health impact is going to be.
:10:46. > :10:47.It was last week that permission was granted to build that
:10:48. > :10:51.But since then, there's been good news for campaigners.
:10:52. > :10:53.Bradford City Council say that plan has now been
:10:54. > :10:56.Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for local
:10:57. > :10:59.Government, is looking at the proposals and it will be up
:11:00. > :11:02.Bradford Council says the plant is unlikely to
:11:03. > :11:04.The pollution concerns fall under the
:11:05. > :11:06.Environment Agency's permitting process.
:11:07. > :11:10.But Charlotte and her neighbours still have a lot of questions.
:11:11. > :11:13.They are holding a meeting tonight, and there hope to get some answers
:11:14. > :11:19.and save the landscape that they love.
:11:20. > :11:21.And we'll bring you the latest from the meeting on our
:11:22. > :11:28.Imagine if you could find a bank that didn't charge you any interest
:11:29. > :11:30.on your mortgage or loans and promised not to invest in
:11:31. > :11:39.That's the policy of a new bank that's
:11:40. > :11:42.The Al Rayan says it offers financial products and services
:11:43. > :11:44.that comply with its customers' Islamic beliefs.
:11:45. > :11:46.Our reporter Gaggan Sabherwal has been finding out more about this
:11:47. > :11:54.Talha Laher is a manager at Chicanos in Bradford and has always
:11:55. > :11:58.looking at opportunities to expand his business.
:11:59. > :12:02.But in the past, he has struggled to do that as it meant
:12:03. > :12:05.he would have had to compromise on his Islamic beliefs.
:12:06. > :12:14.This is what we've been looking for for a very long time.
:12:15. > :12:17.And as soon as it came into Bradford, it was like,
:12:18. > :12:21.As well as not charging interest, Islamic banks
:12:22. > :12:25.also follow an ethical style of banking which prohibits it from
:12:26. > :12:29.investing in alcohol, gambling, tobacco and pronography.
:12:30. > :12:36.With customers that apply for home purchase plans,
:12:37. > :12:41.we buy that property in partnership with those customers, and they,
:12:42. > :12:43.on a monthly basis, will pay us an acquisition payment
:12:44. > :12:46.and at the same time we have a rental agreement with
:12:47. > :12:48.them whereby people pay a fair rent to us.
:12:49. > :12:51.For customers that save and invest money with us, then we will
:12:52. > :12:54.invest in those monies in certain areas such as property or
:12:55. > :12:58.commodities, normally metal, and through that transaction, make a
:12:59. > :13:02.fair profit and we share that profit with our customers.
:13:03. > :13:06.This children's nursery has also benefited from the bank.
:13:07. > :13:09.It's allowed us to be able to expand our business, borrow finance
:13:10. > :13:12.if we need to and obviously get the help and support from them
:13:13. > :13:16.But just how safe is Islamic banking?
:13:17. > :13:18.Because it's asset-backed, not asset-based,
:13:19. > :13:24.They follow the same rules and regulations
:13:25. > :13:29.In fact more, because they also have to comply
:13:30. > :13:34.Al Rayan has plans to open more branches across the country and
:13:35. > :13:50.We tend to think of some of them as dusty old places filled
:13:51. > :13:53.with stuffed animals and ancient artefacts but the latest exhibition
:13:54. > :13:56.to open in Wakefield is anything but!
:13:57. > :13:59.It is in fact a celebration of one of Yorkshire's
:14:00. > :14:02.biggest music exports, Wakefield band the Cribs.
:14:03. > :14:13.Shamir Masri's been for a look round.
:14:14. > :14:19.Now in their 15th year, the Cribs are celebrating their ongoing
:14:20. > :14:23.success with an exhibition of artefacts in Wakefield one which
:14:24. > :14:27.houses council officers, the town's library but also the museum. The
:14:28. > :14:32.three brothers have kept Wakefield close to their hearts and this
:14:33. > :14:35.exhibition features some rare and delicate artefacts. Now, for this
:14:36. > :14:39.exhibition, they've really push the boat out. They even have a life-size
:14:40. > :14:48.waxwork of Ross, the drummer, in this window box. The other guys have
:14:49. > :14:54.been away, so I've basically just been pestering my mum and dad. A lot
:14:55. > :14:57.of the old stuff, but it gets from the first gigs be ever did, been
:14:58. > :15:00.tearing through the cupboards and finding interesting bits and bits
:15:01. > :15:05.and pieces and stuff. We always see our instruments as tools. Like a
:15:06. > :15:09.blacksmith would see his tools or whatever. The stuff that has been
:15:10. > :15:13.away in storage and stuff, it has been nice to let it see the light of
:15:14. > :15:19.day and share it with people too. The exhibition is designed to inform
:15:20. > :15:24.and inspire. If you haven't got a guitar, you can strum a friend. I
:15:25. > :15:27.like the idea that I've seen a lot of people bringing their kids, just
:15:28. > :15:32.passing through, it would be great if some kids solvers, and went away
:15:33. > :15:35.and formed a band. That would be a fitting legacy. They are proud of
:15:36. > :15:38.their ribs and it's fantastic that all of the world people know
:15:39. > :15:46.Wakefield through the cat microbes. I think it's fantastic. If you want
:15:47. > :15:53.to see the band in the flesh, they are on tour in May, including a show
:15:54. > :15:58.at Leeds arena. I think the thing we will inspire most is people with
:15:59. > :16:02.library cards showing up at the next show may be! It might appeal to the
:16:03. > :16:06.older demographic or something. Maybe that is what will come of
:16:07. > :16:14.this. We will soon see. The exhibition is free for all and runs
:16:15. > :16:16.until July. I've just been told their biggest hit is called Hey
:16:17. > :16:24.Seamstress. A new exhibit has been installed at
:16:25. > :16:28.the Yorkshire Sculpture Park today. It's called Caldara
:16:29. > :16:30.and was created by the leading His biggest ever UK exhibition opens
:16:31. > :16:33.on the 4th of March, when visitors can view the seven
:16:34. > :16:37.tonne sculpture and others across the park for one
:16:38. > :16:42.of their biggest shows of the year. Caldera is an amazing piece
:16:43. > :16:46.that you can see here I think we've been on this for four
:16:47. > :16:52.and a half hours to get it to this stage and it's going to be
:16:53. > :16:54.another hour or two before we get it in,
:16:55. > :16:56.but I hadn't realised that
:16:57. > :16:58.it's actually two figures almost kissing and I didn't
:16:59. > :17:11.realise you could actually get They Have Been Worked There For
:17:12. > :17:12.Ages. It Takes Such A Long Time To Install All These Little Bits.
:17:13. > :17:17.Really time consuming. Sports now. Sheffield's Kell Brook is returning
:17:18. > :17:19.to welterweight to defend his world title against American
:17:20. > :17:21.Errol Spence Jr. Kell hasn't fought since being
:17:22. > :17:23.beaten by middleweight, Terms have been agreed
:17:24. > :17:27.with Spence for a fight in May, which could take place
:17:28. > :17:31.at Bramall Lane. Now how far would you go
:17:32. > :17:34.to raise money for charity? Well, Sheffield Wednesday fan
:17:35. > :17:38.Ian Toothill has been given just months to live because of cancer
:17:39. > :17:45.and he's going to climb Everest! He's thought to be the only cancer
:17:46. > :17:48.sufferer attempting to reach the top, and has even pledged
:17:49. > :17:52.to plant a Sheffield United flag at the summit after a friend,
:17:53. > :17:55.who's a Blades fan, Ian collected the flag
:17:56. > :18:00.at Bramall Lane today and hopes to raise a quarter of a million
:18:01. > :18:07.pounds for MacMillan Cancer Support. I got a text from a friend saying,
:18:08. > :18:10.how do you do need? I sent a text with the
:18:11. > :18:16.donation site and I said, if you put ?1000, I will
:18:17. > :18:18.put a Sheffield United And I'm a Sheffield Wednesday
:18:19. > :18:22.fan and I said it as a complete joke and maybe two minutes
:18:23. > :18:26.later, I got a screenshot of ?1000 into the account and just a simple
:18:27. > :18:29.one line phrase saying, I'll wait to see the Blades
:18:30. > :18:33.flag on top of Everest. And the next 20 texts are just me
:18:34. > :18:45.swearing, basically! Good luck, Ian! We really do wish
:18:46. > :18:47.him all the very best. All true football fans will support him as
:18:48. > :18:47.well. It can't have escaped your attention
:18:48. > :18:53.that it's Valentine's Day. I can picture the scene in your
:18:54. > :18:57.house August morning as you came down and there was a dozen roses
:18:58. > :19:00.waiting for you before you made breakfast?
:19:01. > :19:02.You might have to just imagine that! Too early babies are a passion
:19:03. > :19:02.killer. But all that talk of roses
:19:03. > :19:05.and romance can be quite depressing if you happen to be
:19:06. > :19:08.on your own or feeling isolated. In fact, over half of 75-year-olds
:19:09. > :19:10.are living alone. So with that in mind,
:19:11. > :19:13.Age UK organised a Valentine's tea party at the Ridings Shopping Centre
:19:14. > :19:15.in Wakefield today. We sent Charlotte Leeming along
:19:16. > :19:28.for a cuppa and a slice of cake. On Valentine's Day, it's all about
:19:29. > :19:31.hearts and flowers and the pressure to be romantic. But this time of
:19:32. > :19:37.year also brings loneliness into sharp focus and figures from age UK
:19:38. > :19:41.savers more than 2 million older people come out dissenters like this
:19:42. > :19:52.simply so they've got a reason to be free house and someone to talk to.
:19:53. > :19:59.what better way to make new friends than over a cup of tea and a slice
:20:00. > :20:03.of cake? Their Wakefield branch of Age UK today put on a free afternoon

:20:07. > :20:10.Cousins Pat and Pauline are in their 80s. They both lost their husbands
:20:11. > :20:15.but to make sure they don't feel isolated, they always make sure they
:20:16. > :20:24.are busy. I go to an arthritic club once a month and we go off on trips
:20:25. > :20:30.and see people. Yeah. Keep busy. Look after my daughter's., walk it.
:20:31. > :20:36.You always have someone to talk to? Myself if nobody else! And I answer
:20:37. > :20:40.myself! Your cousin Pauline is here as well. Lane, what do you think
:20:41. > :20:44.about this scheme? Just to make sure that other people are not isolated?
:20:45. > :20:52.I think they should get up and get out a little bit. People that can
:20:53. > :20:56.like Pat and I, once a month, chat and Coffey and then go home because
:20:57. > :20:59.we are both on a roll now. It is not always that easy as lacking
:21:00. > :21:05.confidence can be a real issue as you get older and lose loved ones.
:21:06. > :21:08.Pharaonic adds more's husband died three years ago. Since then, trips
:21:09. > :21:12.to the shop have been her only social outings. You make friends,
:21:13. > :21:16.but when you get older, you lose your friends. They die off and then
:21:17. > :21:22.you are left on your own. There are no friends left and you just don't
:21:23. > :21:26.know what to do until this happens. It's been absolutely perfect. It's
:21:27. > :21:31.been lovely. It's Valentines, shall we have a dance? Come on. Cupcakes,
:21:32. > :21:44.company and caring. No lonely hearts with these shoppers this Valentine's
:21:45. > :21:46.Day. Just new friends and fun. I'm sure she made a few people's
:21:47. > :21:48.Valentines today. What could be more romantic
:21:49. > :21:51.for Valentine's Day than a ride on an historic steam train on one
:21:52. > :21:54.of the most scenic railways Today, passengers on the Settle
:21:55. > :21:57.and Carlisle railway were treated to a ride in the style of a bygone
:21:58. > :22:00.era as part of the timetabled service and all for the price
:22:01. > :22:03.of a regular ticket. Tom Ingall was on board
:22:04. > :22:21.for a brief encounter Backwards to the future. A clamour
:22:22. > :22:26.on Appleby railway platform this morning, not just for this team, you
:22:27. > :22:30.understand, but for the occasion. How much called you have two shovel
:22:31. > :22:37.today? We have seven tonnes and we will probably use more most of it. I
:22:38. > :22:42.hope you've had your breakfast! A full English! A flash of water and
:22:43. > :22:45.off towards Skipton along the remote testament to the human determination
:22:46. > :22:53.that is the Cecil and Carlisle railway. Sunday, August the 11th
:22:54. > :22:59.1968 Starc it was right here almost half a century ago that Britain
:23:00. > :23:02.waved goodbye to timetabled scene. Yes, there have been many steam
:23:03. > :23:09.hauled excursion since then, but you would normally pay a premium price
:23:10. > :23:13.and have to book in advance. Today, selected scheduled diesel trains
:23:14. > :23:16.have actually been replaced by steam and what makes this steamy surprise
:23:17. > :23:23.sweeter is you still pay the normal fare. The engine chuffing out a new
:23:24. > :23:28.chapter in railway history today is Tornado. It wasn't even built when
:23:29. > :23:34.steam first came along but then, neither were some of the customers.
:23:35. > :23:39.It's very good. Why is it so good? Because when I go on steam trains, I
:23:40. > :23:46.travelled the world and I see new places. The morning Sunrise has been
:23:47. > :23:50.shown across the valleys. It's been absolutely beautiful. We have been
:23:51. > :23:55.enjoying every minute of it. Who is your travelling companion? This is
:23:56. > :24:02.my grandson Joseph. What you make of it so far, joseph? I think it's very
:24:03. > :24:07.exciting. And I've enjoyed it as much as everybody should. But Peter
:24:08. > :24:11.Taylor was here back in 68. Like me, on a train, he loves ticking off the
:24:12. > :24:15.miles on a map. What were those last days of steam like? Izod combination
:24:16. > :24:20.of exciting and very sad. You thought you would never see it
:24:21. > :24:24.again. Are you surprised that you we are riding on a timetabled steam
:24:25. > :24:31.train today? Yes, but very pleased. I have come up from Maidstone just
:24:32. > :24:35.to travel on these trains. Now, this is my idea of a romantic Valentine's
:24:36. > :24:39.Day. Riding the rails across the roof of the Pennines, watching the
:24:40. > :24:43.steamy mix with the clouds that are clinging to snowclad mountain tops.
:24:44. > :24:47.It is poetic. You should stick that in a greetings card. Something
:24:48. > :24:55.rather ancient and romantic about it, isn't there? Balls that is no
:24:56. > :25:02.way to talk about your better half! Nice day out, isn't it? You look in
:25:03. > :25:07.fused, Sir! That's just my natural expression. I bet that expression
:25:08. > :25:12.changed when he saw this. There is no greater monument to the iron
:25:13. > :25:17.road. There is no better way to see it. This is no dream. There is no
:25:18. > :25:25.need to wake up. Steam usurped diesel and it was magic.
:25:26. > :25:29.What a wonderful piece that was, thank you very much.
:25:30. > :25:35.I would have loved to have gone on that. Thank you for the Roses, they
:25:36. > :25:36.were unnecessary but beautiful. Then I will take them back, I've
:25:37. > :25:46.kept the receipt! Let's look at some pictures that
:25:47. > :25:49.came in in the last few hours. You can't see the viaduct there, but
:25:50. > :25:52.what a stunning date has been up there. I was filming this morning
:25:53. > :25:56.and it was absolutely beautiful. Snow over the tops. The second
:25:57. > :26:06.picture is Whitby rookie beautiful as well. Keep them coming in.
:26:07. > :26:12.The main thrust of the forecast is for mild air to come up from the
:26:13. > :26:17.South West in the next 24 hours. Let's have a look at the graphics if
:26:18. > :26:21.they are working? Cloudy and milder. The mild air will be with us not
:26:22. > :26:25.just the second half of this week but early next week with
:26:26. > :26:28.temperatures in eastern areas reaching 16 degrees perhaps. Good
:26:29. > :26:31.news. A touch of spring early next week. West and is becoming
:26:32. > :26:42.established and in the next few days. We are looking at this weather
:26:43. > :26:45.fronts that will bring cloud up from the South West over the next few
:26:46. > :26:48.hours so after a fine start, it will cloud over and we will see just a
:26:49. > :26:50.little patch of light rain and drizzle. Amounts will be pretty
:26:51. > :26:53.small. Frost free with some listeners over the hills and we will
:26:54. > :26:56.see temperatures are four or five Celsius. That is 45 in Fahrenheit. A
:26:57. > :27:04.quick look at high water times and sunrise. I think tomorrow morning is
:27:05. > :27:09.cloudy, damp and places. Mr mist over the hills. Skies will brighten
:27:10. > :27:13.just a little bit in the morning but then in the afternoon, thick cloud
:27:14. > :27:16.once again bringing patchy bricks of rain. North-eastwards across most
:27:17. > :27:21.areas or adapt enter the day. Let's look at top temperatures. Double
:27:22. > :27:25.figures just about everywhere across Yorkshire. 10 Celsius, 50
:27:26. > :27:31.Fahrenheit. There might be the old 11 in places, 52 Fahrenheit. Breezy
:27:32. > :27:34.with some showers possible. We keep that team into next week and then
:27:35. > :27:37.potentially exceptionally mild into the early part of next week and that
:27:38. > :27:42.is the forecast. Thank you very much. That is it from
:27:43. > :27:48.us. Aromatic cuppa soup for one for me tonight! Enjoy that. There
