Good evening. for the news you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

You're watching Tuesday's Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight, the moment our lives changed forever...

:00:00.:00:08.

In an emotional interview, Jo Cox's sister reveals for the first time

:00:09.:00:11.

the effect her murder has had on their family.

:00:12.:00:15.

I have known emotions that I've never known.

:00:16.:00:18.

I've never been scared in my life and I'm scared.

:00:19.:00:23.

Also on the programme: Potential disruption

:00:24.:00:24.

Staff at Northern Rail are to go on strike in a row over

:00:25.:00:29.

After decades in the making, work to transform land

:00:30.:00:34.

in the Peak District in to a multi-million-pound holiday

:00:35.:00:37.

And we are skipping and flipping in Scarborough on a gorgeous day

:00:38.:00:45.

for Shrove Tuesday celebrations. Whoo!

:00:46.:00:51.

And this time tomorrow spring will have sprung,

:00:52.:00:53.

but what does that mean for our weather?

:00:54.:00:55.

Join me later in the programme for the full live forecast.

:00:56.:01:08.

The sister of the late MP Jo Cox has spoken about the impact her death

:01:09.:01:11.

In her first in-depth interview since her older sister was killed,

:01:12.:01:17.

Kim Leadbeater told Look North that she's still adjusting

:01:18.:01:21.

The Batley and Spen MP was murdered in Birstall last June.

:01:22.:01:26.

Harry went to meet Kim at her home in Cleckheaton.

:01:27.:01:30.

When you are faced with an event like this, how do you cope?

:01:31.:01:36.

And I am sure people who understand what trauma

:01:37.:01:44.

is would know more about this, but you seem to go into a bit

:01:45.:01:47.

of a self-preservation mode, and, sort of, in the days after Jo

:01:48.:01:50.

The police were here, sort of, all the time,

:01:51.:01:55.

so we had the counter-terrorist unit coming round and checking

:01:56.:01:59.

the house for security, fitting extra smoke alarms and doing

:02:00.:02:04.

all sorts of things, and, you know, asking me where I go

:02:05.:02:07.

And I think this is the side of things that people

:02:08.:02:11.

You know, they wouldn't know about that.

:02:12.:02:14.

So the impact on your day-to-day life is huge.

:02:15.:02:19.

The Kim I've met is bouncy, bubbly, confident...

:02:20.:02:21.

I have known emotions that I've never known.

:02:22.:02:34.

I've never been scared in my life and I am scared,

:02:35.:02:37.

I've never, erm, felt like I don't know what I'm doing.

:02:38.:02:46.

I've always been confident and my confidence has gone a lot.

:02:47.:02:49.

People might misinterpret what I mean by that and, you know,

:02:50.:03:01.

and the reality now, with social media and what have

:03:02.:03:03.

Once you put yourself out there, you are vulnerable -

:03:04.:03:07.

One of the things I've realised over the last year is how

:03:08.:03:12.

strong your family is, but what about mum and dad?

:03:13.:03:15.

Mum and Dad are doing really well, considering everything,

:03:16.:03:22.

They won't focus on the horrific-ness

:03:23.:03:25.

of what's happened any more than you inevitably have to do,

:03:26.:03:30.

but they will try and focus on creating something positive

:03:31.:03:32.

Just, like, the impact on Mum and Dad, you know, your phone rings,

:03:33.:03:43.

and it would always be, is it Jo?

:03:44.:03:45.

Well, they'll never have that ever again.

:03:46.:03:47.

And then I have the guilt associated with that,

:03:48.:03:49.

because it's disappointing that it's always going to be me, you know...

:03:50.:03:52.

So it's this whole new reality that we've got to adjust to,

:03:53.:03:58.

and I think, given that, we are doing well.

:03:59.:04:02.

There is a great song called Sisters,

:04:03.:04:05.

there were never such devoted sisters, and yet...

:04:06.:04:07.

You two were chalk and cheese, weren't you?

:04:08.:04:10.

Interestingly, we were quite different as kids.

:04:11.:04:13.

And Jo, bizarrely, and this is what I think people

:04:14.:04:15.

won't realise, was very shy as a child, and really didn't

:04:16.:04:18.

have a great deal of confidence, and so I was always the younger,

:04:19.:04:22.

sort of, more bolshie sister, and I would take the lead in things.

:04:23.:04:26.

I know, it's difficult to believe. Difficult to believe...

:04:27.:04:30.

But, yeah, and I would, and I've never lacked confidence,

:04:31.:04:32.

The impact of what happened recently is that I have doubted myself more

:04:33.:04:39.

But certainly when we were children, Jo would be, you know,

:04:40.:04:45.

Oh no, you ring up and find out what time the bus

:04:46.:04:49.

comes, and you ring up and ordered the takeaway.

:04:50.:04:51.

Which is why I've got so much respect for what it Jo ended up

:04:52.:04:57.

doing with her life, because that didn't come naturally.

:04:58.:05:00.

She had to work exceptionally hard to develop her confidence,

:05:01.:05:02.

and work exceptionally hard to be as successful as she was.

:05:03.:05:07.

So, yeah, we Were different growing up, but then what also

:05:08.:05:09.

happened as we got older, we became much more similar,

:05:10.:05:12.

And I feel Jo in me, and I feel I could see me in Jo.

:05:13.:05:18.

Much more as we went through our adult life

:05:19.:05:23.

than when we were kids, when we were quite different.

:05:24.:05:25.

The closest that you two had, we can see in the photograph,

:05:26.:05:28.

you always said, she took a better picture than me, didn't you?

:05:29.:05:31.

The thing is, growing up, behind Jo was hard, because Jo

:05:32.:05:33.

was good at everything, and was very attractive,

:05:34.:05:35.

and intelligent, and sporty and all these things.

:05:36.:05:37.

But something about Jo was that she didn't

:05:38.:05:43.

So, even though she was good at all these things,

:05:44.:05:47.

she didn't even realise it, do you know what they mean?

:05:48.:05:49.

So, therefore, I was never jealous of Jo.

:05:50.:05:53.

There was never any competition between us.

:05:54.:05:54.

But, yeah, there was some pressure there, so I think that is why

:05:55.:05:59.

I ended up developing this, kind of, like, you know, hi,

:06:00.:06:02.

I'm here as well, kind of thing -

:06:03.:06:04.

But we were 18, you know what I mean?

:06:05.:06:07.

This lasting legacy, this memorial, we hope,

:06:08.:06:16.

What they do you hope will be achieved?

:06:17.:06:20.

I think what I'm clear about, and I think what Brendan is clear

:06:21.:06:23.

about, and my parents, actually, is things couldn't

:06:24.:06:25.

This is one of the worst things that could possibly happen,

:06:26.:06:28.

so we can only try and make something positive come out of this

:06:29.:06:32.

by creating a legacy for Jo, and this is about getting together

:06:33.:06:34.

and having a street party or a barbecue or a tea or a picnic

:06:35.:06:38.

It's not about, you know, left-wing sausages or right-wing

:06:39.:06:41.

You know, I don't even understand that.

:06:42.:06:45.

So this is about bringing people together, and I hope

:06:46.:06:48.

In six months' time, I might go, I'm done.

:06:49.:06:58.

And if that happens, I will deal with that,

:06:59.:07:00.

and try and carve out a new, sort of, normality.

:07:01.:07:07.

And I don't think I'd ever want to move away from this area,

:07:08.:07:11.

because this is where I was brought up, and this is where Jo was brought

:07:12.:07:15.

up, but I can totally understand why families would do.

:07:16.:07:18.

I can totally understand why they might just want to start again.

:07:19.:07:21.

You're living and breathing those memories.

:07:22.:07:33.

Jo Cox's sister Kim Leadbeater talking to Harry there.

:07:34.:07:41.

Next tonight, train passengers across Yorkshire

:07:42.:07:43.

It comes after guards and some drivers, who belong to the RMT union

:07:44.:07:47.

and work for the rail company Northern, voted overwhelmingly

:07:48.:07:49.

The 24-hour walk-out will be held on Monday, March 13.

:07:50.:07:55.

Our political editor Len Tingle joins us now from Leeds Station.

:07:56.:08:05.

What is the reason behind this straight?

:08:06.:08:11.

And this is nothing whatsoever to do with pay, but a row over safety.

:08:12.:08:17.

Northern Rail, who took over this franchise covering trains across the

:08:18.:08:20.

north of England last April, promised to invest half ?1 billion

:08:21.:08:26.

and that is being started to introduce next year, and they say

:08:27.:08:30.

this new rolling stock, the doors can be caused by a driver rather

:08:31.:08:34.

than guards. But the RMT that represents guards says that is

:08:35.:08:40.

unsafe, particularly as many of the 450 stations across the North of

:08:41.:08:44.

England are totally unmanned. Earlier, this is what Mick Cash had

:08:45.:08:48.

to say, he is the general secretary of the RMT.

:08:49.:08:50.

The vast majority of train services actually have the second safety

:08:51.:08:52.

person guaranteed on the train, as it's safer and it leads to a more

:08:53.:08:56.

secure train and actually a more accessible railway for vulnerable

:08:57.:08:58.

and disabled people, so we want to see that continue.

:08:59.:09:00.

We don't want the railway to become less safe,

:09:01.:09:03.

We now know there is a 24-hour strike scheduled for Monday the 13th

:09:04.:09:19.

of March. How disruptive will it likely be?

:09:20.:09:22.

It could potentially be very disruptive, there are 2500 train

:09:23.:09:26.

journeys taken by this company to stations right across the North of

:09:27.:09:30.

England every town and community is linked by those trains. But the

:09:31.:09:34.

company says it will continue talking to the unions, in the hope

:09:35.:09:39.

of putting this straight off, but it points out that as far as drivers

:09:40.:09:42.

are concerned only a small proportion are actually in the RMT,

:09:43.:09:46.

and most aren't as left, and are not part of this dispute. I spoke to the

:09:47.:09:54.

Northern regional director. -- most are in Aslef.

:09:55.:09:55.

We want to provide some reassurance to passengers.

:09:56.:09:57.

We are working also very hard to look at our contingency

:09:58.:09:59.

arrangements to keep as many people on the move on the 13th of March,

:10:00.:10:03.

but, between now and then, we will work hard to get the RMT

:10:04.:10:06.

back around the table, to continue those discussions,

:10:07.:10:08.

so we can work together to shape the future of rail in the North.

:10:09.:10:13.

Presumably passengers aren't happy. What have they been saying?

:10:14.:10:18.

I spoke to passengers coming out of Leeds station earlier and there was

:10:19.:10:21.

a mixed response to the news that there is likely to be a strike on

:10:22.:10:23.

March 13. This is what they said. I have been on a few

:10:24.:10:25.

trains recently It was a Saturday night and,

:10:26.:10:27.

you know, it's nice to feel safe. I think that if they can increase

:10:28.:10:32.

the police presence at the train station, then they can at least

:10:33.:10:35.

put a guard on the train. I don't think you need guards

:10:36.:10:38.

on trains, personally. I'm quite comfortable with the way

:10:39.:10:40.

the systems have operated. I've seen in the past and overseas

:10:41.:10:42.

where there are no guards on the trains and I think

:10:43.:10:45.

it works OK. For businesspeople and everyday

:10:46.:10:47.

travellers, it is unfair and it's I understand there is obviously

:10:48.:10:50.

a need for strike, you know, they feel the need for strike,

:10:51.:10:55.

but I think it is very inconvenient Disappointment from the passengers

:10:56.:11:07.

there and the company says it feels that even on that straight day it

:11:08.:11:11.

will be able to provide quite a good service. As far as the RMT is

:11:12.:11:15.

concerned, it says this is such a fundamental dispute with the company

:11:16.:11:19.

that it is actually here for the duration. It is not going to go

:11:20.:11:21.

away. Thank you.

:11:22.:11:23.

The coroner at the inquests into the deaths of 30 British

:11:24.:11:25.

tourists in Tunisia - including a couple from Leeds -

:11:26.:11:28.

has said the police response to the attack was "at best shambolic

:11:29.:11:31.

Christopher and Sharon Bell died when an Islamist gunman opened fire.

:11:32.:11:35.

59-year-old Christopher worked in the ticket office

:11:36.:11:39.

His wife Sharon was a health-care worker.

:11:40.:11:43.

Their family said they were "never happier than when they were

:11:44.:11:46.

Three men have been jailed for organising a "crash for cash"

:11:47.:11:53.

scam that killed a great-grandmother from Leeds.

:11:54.:11:55.

Betty Laird, who was 88, died after the men deliberately drove

:11:56.:11:58.

into the car she was travelling in so they could make fake

:11:59.:12:01.

31-year-old Raja Hussain, and Sabbir Hussain, who's 25,

:12:02.:12:07.

have been sentenced to 15 and 12 years in prison for manslaughter

:12:08.:12:10.

A third man was sentenced to six and a half years.

:12:11.:12:22.

26-year-old Shahrear Islam-Miah, who was cleared of manslaughter,

:12:23.:12:24.

The Chancellor has apologised to Wakefield MP Mary Creagh

:12:25.:12:28.

after telling her not to get "hysterical".

:12:29.:12:30.

The Labour MP had been warning about Brexit-related business

:12:31.:12:32.

concerns when Philip Hammond made the comment.

:12:33.:12:36.

She said his remark was sexist and wouldn't have been

:12:37.:12:38.

It has nothing to do with the condition of my womb travelling to

:12:39.:12:49.

my head. Work has started on a ?400

:12:50.:12:51.

million leisure complex The small village of Unstun,

:12:52.:12:54.

right in the middle of the country, will soon have a 300-acre hotel

:12:55.:12:57.

and lodge complex next door to it. The site is between Sheffield

:12:58.:13:01.

and Chesterfield and is sandwiched between the M1 to the east

:13:02.:13:03.

and the Peak District to the west. The complex has been in the works

:13:04.:13:06.

for 30 years and developers are hoping great access to the great

:13:07.:13:09.

outdoors will bring in the visitors. An old mine just outside

:13:10.:13:12.

Chesterfield might soon become one of the biggest tourist attractions

:13:13.:13:19.

we've ever seen in this Diggers are now on site at Unstun,

:13:20.:13:21.

something they've wanted This used to be the mine,

:13:22.:13:26.

and they have had planning permission here for the best part

:13:27.:13:35.

of three decades, but, hopefully, in a couple of years' time,

:13:36.:13:38.

it will be a ?400 million You have to walk for two and a half

:13:39.:13:40.

miles just to get round it. When it's finished, it

:13:41.:13:47.

will have a hotel and other lodges for people to stay in,

:13:48.:13:49.

and also a performance venue. They are hoping over 1,000

:13:50.:13:52.

people will work here, and at the centre of it all will be

:13:53.:13:54.

a huge dome. It's the same size as

:13:55.:13:59.

the Millennium Dome in terms of the space inside of here,

:14:00.:14:01.

and we are standing, really, so, from, you will be able to sit

:14:02.:14:04.

down and looked out over a lake, and then the buildings are running

:14:05.:14:10.

along the side of that, This is how it feels to get

:14:11.:14:13.

a 30-year-old project It is going to be

:14:14.:14:20.

a gateway to Chesterfield. Chesterfield is less

:14:21.:14:27.

than two miles that way, so we expect that visitors will come

:14:28.:14:30.

and stay here. They will see the spire and head

:14:31.:14:33.

into the town using our existing, Sheffield city region,

:14:34.:14:37.

which is the collection of councils in this part of the world,

:14:38.:14:43.

will be spending the best part of ?3 million improving

:14:44.:14:46.

access to the site. I think it's about investing

:14:47.:14:49.

all across the Sheffield city region on projects that are worth investing

:14:50.:14:52.

in, and, by that, I mean projects that increase the gross value added,

:14:53.:14:55.

ie raise the economy, and, in particular, create jobs,

:14:56.:14:59.

and Peak Parks is going to create And they don't want

:15:00.:15:03.

a captive audience here - they want people to stay and then go

:15:04.:15:08.

and spend their money in the Peak District,

:15:09.:15:11.

which is handily just over the hill. James Vincent,

:15:12.:15:14.

BBC Look North, Unstun. That is beautiful. ?400 million is a

:15:15.:15:28.

large investment. Gorgeous landscape.

:15:29.:15:35.

Taxi drivers are protesting about drivers being able to get licenses

:15:36.:15:42.

from other parts of the country. Sheffield drivers say they have

:15:43.:15:48.

concerns about the safety of us and just because some places elsewhere

:15:49.:15:51.

do not carry the same stringent licence checks.

:15:52.:15:53.

Taxi drivers protesting outside Sheffield town Hall today -

:15:54.:15:55.

they're unhappy that drivers are able to obtain licences

:15:56.:15:57.

from other parts of the country and still operate

:15:58.:15:59.

Stringent measures have been put in place by some local councils,

:16:00.:16:05.

including Sheffield, to safeguard passengers.

:16:06.:16:08.

It's a public safety concern more than anything, you know,

:16:09.:16:12.

cos obviously we've really set our standards high in Sheffield,

:16:13.:16:14.

and have done for many years, and we have very strict policies,

:16:15.:16:17.

so drivers and vehicles have two jump through many loops

:16:18.:16:19.

A lot of the local authorities do not go for those same standards,

:16:20.:16:25.

so they may only do basic checks on drivers, and then

:16:26.:16:28.

they are getting licensed elsewhere and then coming to Sheffield.

:16:29.:16:33.

Those at today's protest singled out the company Uber,

:16:34.:16:36.

demanding their drivers are regulated in the same

:16:37.:16:38.

way as the Sheffield companies already are.

:16:39.:16:42.

It is not regulated at this moment in time, and local enforcement

:16:43.:16:47.

officers cannot stop these vehicles and carry out checks

:16:48.:16:49.

because they are not allowed to by law, and that is some

:16:50.:16:52.

of the difficulties we are facing in Sheffield and Rotherham.

:16:53.:16:55.

Those protesting today told me this is not the case.

:16:56.:17:12.

There are boroughs across the country who don't do checks,

:17:13.:17:16.

and they just let the drivers on, so our message today is quite clear

:17:17.:17:19.

And change the law because, if not, it will just get worse.

:17:20.:17:24.

In a statement, the Department for Transport told us:

:17:25.:17:38.

But protesters today, including these drivers leaving

:17:39.:17:43.

a convoy through Sheffield, say changes must be made

:17:44.:17:45.

by the Government so all councils have the same stringent checks

:17:46.:17:48.

Shamir Masri, BBC Look North, Sheffield.

:17:49.:18:00.

Leeds College of Art has announced the start of a ?14 million

:18:01.:18:02.

It's also aiming to gain university status by the end of the year.

:18:03.:18:07.

The investment is designed to transform the college

:18:08.:18:08.

into the first specialist arts university in the north.

:18:09.:18:11.

A lot of worthwhile things start with a mucky mess -

:18:12.:18:17.

most artists know that - so this building site does not faze

:18:18.:18:21.

this group of students from Leeds College of Art.

:18:22.:18:23.

?40 million worth of music, film and photography studios

:18:24.:18:27.

is being built to expand the college and transform it into the first arts

:18:28.:18:30.

The college started life as a school of design in 1846.

:18:31.:18:39.

There was a pioneering idea that art could be taught,

:18:40.:18:42.

and it's been an innovator in the world of arts

:18:43.:18:44.

Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Damien Hirst all came here,

:18:45.:18:50.

along with Lee Francis - you'll know him as Keith Lemon.

I've been eating popcorn and it's like toenails in my teeth.

:18:55.:18:58.

All proof that studying art can take you anywhere.

:18:59.:19:01.

And the college gaining university status is the fulfilment

:19:02.:19:04.

Becoming a university is the final thing, really, for us,

:19:05.:19:09.

It means that we've got a title that represents what we do, really.

:19:10.:19:15.

We are a small, specialist university.

:19:16.:19:18.

The open University degree is on offer in the past

:19:19.:19:21.

Only one in six applicants gets in, so an expansion is sorely needed.

:19:22.:19:25.

And the college becoming a university in its own right

:19:26.:19:29.

will add prestige and status to the degrees it now awards.

:19:30.:19:34.

It certainly gives you a sense of loyalty, I think, to the college,

:19:35.:19:38.

and also it does gets taken more seriously, I think.

:19:39.:19:41.

It's really exciting to see how it's going to develop and be a part

:19:42.:19:45.

of that and be seen that we are all, like, working together

:19:46.:19:49.

The application to become a university will be

:19:50.:19:53.

decided later this year, but the emerging picture

I would never have put Keith Lemon and Henry Moorer in the same box,

but very goal. It is art. Huddersfield Town are just a day

off us, after one and a half years, we play tomorrow night and this is

:20:58.:21:03.

why we have training in the evening before. We try to prepare as good as

:21:04.:21:07.

we can. Here in Yorkshire we think of

:21:08.:21:10.

Huddersfield town and Sheffield Wednesday, and Leeds United as good

:21:11.:21:14.

championship teams, and Barnsley, but how different and how much

:21:15.:21:17.

better is a Premier League team like Manchester city from your experience

:21:23.:21:27.

further in terms of speed and in terms of how quick you must make

:21:28.:21:33.

decisions and technical quality, and you have to be focused... Often in

terms of that you make one little mistake and it can hurt you. You

have learnt a lot about ourselves. Your first visit to the Etihad will

:21:49.:21:53.

be tinged with disappointment because you will not be able to

:21:54.:21:57.

stand on the touchline. Whatever you think about your two match ban

:21:58.:21:59.

because of your celebrations against Leeds United, how different and

:22:00.:22:04.

experience will that be for you as head coach?

:22:05.:22:09.

It is new. This is why I don't have any experience how it will feel for

:22:10.:22:13.

me or for the players, but on the other side, I am able to be with

:22:14.:22:16.

them in half time and before the game, so I think it should not make

:22:17.:22:21.

a big difference. Good luck tomorrow with your first

:22:22.:22:26.

visit to the Etihad Stadium as head coach of Huddersfield Town. 7:45pm

:22:27.:22:29.

kick-off, could be a late night, we have learned that Huddersfield Town

:22:30.:22:35.

will take it in front of close of 8000 fans at the Etihad.

:22:36.:22:40.

We will be watching. My favourite day of the year so far, pancake day.

:22:41.:22:48.

Golden syrup is not bad. Lemon and sugar is good, keep it

:22:49.:22:50.

simple. Well, in Scarborough,

:22:51.:22:51.

they prefer theirs with a liberal sprinkling of salty fresh air

:22:52.:22:53.

and a bracing dash along the sea Charlotte Leeming's

:22:54.:22:56.

been getting a taste Sunshine, sand and skipping. Today

:22:57.:23:09.

in Scarborough the whole town seems to be on the seafront to celebrate

:23:10.:23:12.

Shrove Tuesday. Skipping celebrations are a highlight of the

:23:13.:23:18.

resort's calendar and local schools close at lunch time so as many

:23:19.:23:22.

people as possible can join in. They have been skipping here in

:23:23.:23:26.

Scarborough on Shrove Tuesday for over a century. Why do they do it?

:23:27.:23:30.

Local legend has it that fishermen 's wives and children would come to

:23:31.:23:34.

the seafront and gather up all of the old fishing rope no longer fit

:23:35.:23:37.

for purpose and take it away to play their games. Young and old, with

:23:38.:23:43.

their skipping ropes flying, people packed along the foreshore, closed

:23:44.:23:46.

to traffic for the whole afternoon. This footage shows the crowds

:23:47.:23:50.

gathered in the very same place back in 1935. All these years on, the

:23:51.:23:57.

tradition is still going strong. My dad did 12 skips.

:23:58.:24:03.

What is the record? Erm...

:24:04.:24:06.

How many can you do? I have done 108 before.

:24:07.:24:11.

Today is not only about skipping but also flooding.

:24:12.:24:17.

Here we! -- it is about flipping.

:24:18.:24:23.

The Dell means it is race time. Competitors wear fancy dress and

:24:24.:24:28.

toss their pancakes. The pancake race has been around

:24:29.:24:32.

since time began but this is about bringing two great ideas together in

:24:33.:24:35.

one area in the town and getting many people to enjoy themselves.

:24:36.:24:40.

Perhaps it was the sea are but I give it a go.

:24:41.:24:49.

Off we go! Toss the pancake! This will not fit over my head.

:24:50.:24:57.

We will see you back next year as a contestant.

:24:58.:25:03.

I only beat Luigi by a hair, but what a load of fun. When it comes to

:25:04.:25:06.

celebrations on pancake Day, Scarborough cannot be battered.

:25:07.:25:09.

A good crowd down on the beach. There is a technique to the flipping

:25:10.:25:21.

thing. The first one sticks so I always throw it away. The second

:25:22.:25:25.

one, when the pan has been greased. I use a Teflon pan.

:25:26.:25:31.

There is always that. That is cheating. Welcome to 6:30pm. I

:25:32.:25:38.

thought I would blend in and not make a big deal. We will get you

:25:39.:25:42.

flipping pancakes by the end. It has been a lovely day across

:25:43.:25:47.

Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. We have had gorgeous photos sent in by

:25:48.:25:50.

the Weather Watchers as always. I think we might show a couple of them

:25:51.:25:57.

if we are lucky. This one sent in by someone from Crossgates, and this

:25:58.:26:02.

one shows weather. When the sun came out in Whitby. Keep the photos

:26:03.:26:10.

coming in. In terms of whether the next 24 hours, it is looking decent.

:26:11.:26:14.

The headline, sunny spells and one or two isolated showers but they

:26:15.:26:18.

should move through quickly. The pressure chart shows a lot of low

:26:19.:26:21.

pressure, so that is damaging our weather over the next few days.

:26:22.:26:25.

Unsettled but we will see weather fronts coming in off the Atlantic,

:26:26.:26:30.

bringing rain here or there. Earlier today, a decent picture. A variable

:26:31.:26:33.

amounts of mostly light cloud, but because of the last hours, that

:26:34.:26:38.

cloud building from the West. Overnight tonight, some showers

:26:39.:26:40.

sinking towards the south-east, nothing too heavy, nothing too

:26:41.:26:43.

persistent, and in the early hours of tomorrow morning, a largely dry

:26:44.:26:46.

picture. Clear skies and temperatures take a tumble down to

:26:47.:26:50.

minus figures for some places. A bit of ice on untreated surfaces so take

:26:51.:26:56.

things heavy leaseback steady if you are out first thing tomorrow.

:26:57.:27:00.

Sunrise tomorrow is at, let me have a look, 6:47am. As I say, a cold and

:27:01.:27:10.

frosty start to the day tomorrow. There will be ice, so take it

:27:11.:27:14.

steady. A pretty gorgeous start. We will see some sunshine and then

:27:15.:27:18.

things will cloud over and variable cloud, so still some bright and

:27:19.:27:21.

sunny spells to be enjoyed. Some showers through the course of the

:27:22.:27:26.

day, so grab an umbrella. Temperatures ranging between six and

:27:27.:27:30.

eight Celsius. For the rest of the week, looking quite unsettled.

:27:31.:27:33.

Thank you, Abbey. That is it from us.

:27:34.:27:40.

Well done. Back later on, on the tea-time edition, goodbye from us.
