:05:09. > :05:14.and bringing arrests under trade union legislation,
:05:15. > :05:18.that clearly isn't going to happen because the Crown Prosecution

:05:58. > :06:01.BBC Look North, Sheffield. Earlier, I spoke to James
:06:02. > :06:03.Littlehales, a criminal barrister. I asked him what he thought
:06:04. > :06:06.of the Police Crime Commissioner dismissing further arrests under
:06:07. > :06:11.trade union laws. I thought all along
:06:12. > :06:15.that they were in some difficulties arresting
:06:16. > :06:18.and trying to prosecute people Certainly, for example, people
:06:19. > :06:23.who were on their own private land, And I know the Crown
:06:24. > :06:28.Prosecution Service have taken the view about it,
:06:29. > :06:31.the various cases that there have been, and not proceeded with them,
:06:32. > :06:34.and I can't say I'm shocked at all. Yeah, that's what they've
:06:35. > :06:36.said, haven't they? The CPS have said they are not going
:06:37. > :06:39.to pursue charges because they don't want to criminalise people
:06:40. > :06:41.for peaceful protests. I think you must have the right
:06:42. > :06:46.to protest peacefully, and it would appear lawfully,
:06:47. > :06:50.in the circumstances now. So, the police are now placing it
:06:51. > :06:53.back with the politicians, saying they need to take
:06:54. > :06:55.a more active role. Will they, then,
:06:56. > :06:58.use civil injunctions? The remedy for Sheffield
:06:59. > :07:00.would be civil injunctions The problem there is it's
:07:01. > :07:05.the council tax payers of Sheffield who are effectively funding any
:07:06. > :07:09.actions against themselves. What would you say politicians
:07:10. > :07:11.will be thinking right now, knowing that the Police
:07:12. > :07:14.Crime Commissioner has said, I would be surprised
:07:15. > :07:21.if they use a number Their concern must be
:07:22. > :07:28.that they don't wish to alienate The Crown Prosecution Service has

:08:48. > :08:51.was a waterborne disease. Dr John Snow was born

:09:03. > :09:08.Queen Victoria's anaesthetist. People know about his work
:09:09. > :09:11.on cholera perhaps more than his work on anaesthesia,
:09:12. > :09:17.but I think his history is really, sort of, focused very
:09:18. > :09:20.much on his London time, and his connections to York
:09:21. > :09:24.are not very well-known, and I think it's a good thing that
:09:25. > :09:27.we're having more prominence Now let's take a look
:09:28. > :09:39.at the weather. It has been lovely today. Absolutely
:09:40. > :09:45.sunny and it felt like maybe instead of March. Up to 15 Celsius. Say
:09:46. > :09:49.goodbye to the dry and fine and sunny and mild weather, because
:09:50. > :09:53.unsettled for Friday and the weekend. Tomorrow a transitional day
:09:54. > :09:59.with more cloud and cooler, with a bit of rain in most places staying
:10:00. > :10:02.dry. It has been settled but the pressure chart means lots of low
:10:03. > :10:04.pressure and a fast moving jet stream pushing in our direction,
:10:05. > :10:08.with several weather fronts through with several weather fronts through
:10:09. > :10:15.Friday in the weekend. Quite blustery conditions as well with
:10:16. > :10:17.tightly packed isobars. Some isolated miss Venus through this
:10:18. > :10:22.evening and then generally a bit more cloud through the west
:10:23. > :10:29.overnight. Merely for western and north-western part. Seven or eight
:10:30. > :10:33.Celsius. The best sunshine tomorrow through the morning and away from
:10:34. > :10:35.the hills. Gradually everywhere, a bit more cloud developing through
:10:36. > :10:40.the day, before becoming overcast the day, before becoming overcast
:10:41. > :10:44.during afternoon. Rain in the north-west edging down from the
:10:45. > :10:48.deals along the Pennines and not much headway until tomorrow evening.
:10:49. > :10:52.When it does, all this rain will fragment. Like a patchy rain later
:10:53. > :10:57.in the day and soggy through the afternoon in the Dales. Cooler than
:10:58. > :11:00.today with temperatures up to 11 Celsius. A cold start and touch of
:11:01. > :11:02.frost on Friday and windy day with rain for the hills. That's it from
:11:03. > :11:05.the late been. The outlook, rain around, if
:11:06. > :11:06.it stays dry I will be surprised. Here is Nick with the national
:11:07. > :11:23.headlines. For large parts of Wales and England
:11:24. > :11:29.there was blue sky and warmth. Warmest day of the year, a clumsy
:11:30. > :11:39.way of saying the UK had the highest temperature of the year so far.
:11:40. > :11:42.There have been big contrasts. Some of that misty, murky weather to the
:11:43. > :11:46.south-west is advancing across other parts of England and Wales through
:11:47. > :11:49.the night. Ahead of that, where we have clear spells, central and
