:00:00. > :00:22.After months of silence, the bells ring out again at York Minister.
:00:23. > :00:24.We'll speak exclusively to the Archbishop to see
:00:25. > :00:30.what solution they've found after the bell-ringer row.
:00:31. > :00:34.The MS patients travelling abroad for treatment.
:00:35. > :00:44.I'm scared of not doing anything about it.
:00:45. > :00:47.Now, love them or hate them, you can't have Christmas
:00:48. > :00:49.dinner without sprouts, can you, Annie?
:00:50. > :00:53.I'm going to show you how to spruce up your sprouts.
:00:54. > :00:59.And a very disturbed spell of weather is on its way.
:01:00. > :01:17.Tonight - the astonishing footage of a man just inches
:01:18. > :01:20.from being killed by a train in West Yorkshire.
:01:21. > :01:24.Rail bosses have released the video to warn of the risks
:01:25. > :01:29.It's amazing this cyclist escaped uninjured as he failed
:01:30. > :01:33.to see the train coming at a crossing near Pudsey.
:01:34. > :01:36.He had barely seconds to spare as he tried
:01:37. > :01:41.Our correspondent Spencer Stokes has the full story.
:01:42. > :01:44.A train driver's view of what happens when a man pushing a bike
:01:45. > :01:50.and decides to take his life in his hand.
:01:51. > :01:53.A near miss captured from various angles at the level crossing
:01:54. > :01:59.The cyclist stops for one train but then presumes he can cross,
:02:00. > :02:02.unaware that another train is approaching.
:02:03. > :02:05.This sort of crossing is quite unusual because there
:02:06. > :02:09.aren't automatic barriers, so what people have to do is check
:02:10. > :02:14.and if it is, start to make their way across the crossing.
:02:15. > :02:18.Over the last 18 months though, there have been 18 separate
:02:19. > :02:21.incidents where people have crossed the railway line
:02:22. > :02:25.when they shouldn't have done, therefore putting their own lives
:02:26. > :02:30.at risk from trains travelling rather quickly.
:02:31. > :02:32.60 mph is the permitted speed on the crossing
:02:33. > :02:39.But people have played a game of chicken on the tracks, wandered
:02:40. > :02:42.across while using a phone and one driver towed his boat through
:02:43. > :02:48.when he should have been firmly behind the gates.
:02:49. > :02:51.The fear now is someone will be very seriously
:02:52. > :02:56.You put this message out every year, why do we keep seeing
:02:57. > :03:02.There's indications of complacency from people that just think they
:03:03. > :03:06.know how to use the crossing and there are very impatient to
:03:07. > :03:11.These gates are not closed for long, there are very
:03:12. > :03:14.clear indications, very clear alarms, and we just need people
:03:15. > :03:19.to be patient and use the crossing, take their time.
:03:20. > :03:21.They won't be delayed unnecessarily and cross when
:03:22. > :03:25.But patience seems to be in short supply.
:03:26. > :03:32.Well, I've already confessed to crossing if it changes as I get
:03:33. > :03:34.to the gate because you've got plenty of time.
:03:35. > :03:37.So if it goes red, you still sort of making a dash for it?
:03:38. > :03:40.Well, I've never count is less than 45 seconds
:03:41. > :03:46.I have a very highly developed sense of
:03:47. > :03:49.When I saw the video, I was shocked at just
:03:50. > :03:51.how close a call this one was
:03:52. > :03:54.and it does emphasise how tragic these incidents can be.
:03:55. > :03:56.This gentleman in the video got lucky.
:03:57. > :04:00.I have had the heartbreaking task of having to tell families that, you
:04:01. > :04:03.know, their loved ones aren't coming home for the sake of what is
:04:04. > :04:07.Level crossing misuse can land motorists
:04:08. > :04:14.Pedestrians face a fine of ?1000 and a criminal record.
:04:15. > :04:17.The cyclist escaped punishment but it's hoped he
:04:18. > :04:28.learned his lesson from an incredibly near miss.
:04:29. > :04:29.Absolutely astonishing pictures there.
:04:30. > :04:34.Next tonight - feast your ears on this...
:04:35. > :04:38.It's something we didn't think we'd hear this Christmas.
:04:39. > :04:41.The bells of York Minster ringing out.
:04:42. > :04:43.They were silenced following a row with volunteer bell ringers
:04:44. > :04:46.and concerns about safeguarding procedures.
:04:47. > :04:49.In a moment, we'll go live to York to speak to the Archbishop
:04:50. > :04:54.but first Abi Jaiyeola looks back at the story.
:04:55. > :04:58.For centuries, the bells of York Minster have
:04:59. > :05:02.chimed out across the city but in October, they stopped.
:05:03. > :05:04.The volunteer bell-ringers were dismissed over concerns about
:05:05. > :05:08.It came after one of the ringers was accused
:05:09. > :05:10.of indecent assault against young girls.
:05:11. > :05:15.Since then, the Minster has struggled to find replacement
:05:16. > :05:19.Some who'd offered to step in and said they'd
:05:20. > :05:22.been subjected to intimidation on social media
:05:23. > :05:27.The previous bell-ringing team denied that they've been
:05:28. > :05:30.involved in any intimidation and said they had tried
:05:31. > :05:35.But today, a resolution and at tonight's carol service, the
:05:36. > :05:43.bells will ring again, albeit with a new team of ringers.
:05:44. > :05:52.The Archbishop of York John Semtamu is at the Minster.
:05:53. > :06:02.Archbishop, what does it mean to have those bells ringing again? It
:06:03. > :06:06.is exciting. I said to you two days after the group stood down by the
:06:07. > :06:10.Dean and chapter that we were hoping before long the bells would ring
:06:11. > :06:13.again and were very grateful for the courageous and generous ringers from
:06:14. > :06:16.within the city and across the country who have come forward to try
:06:17. > :06:20.and help us move forward and are ringing for us over this period of
:06:21. > :06:26.time. There they go again! Such a wonderful time. Singing to the
:06:27. > :06:33.wonder of God. Mixed you is the Dean of Europe. Could I ask you, is this
:06:34. > :06:40.a temporary solution to the problem? We are going to be recruiting a new
:06:41. > :06:43.band in the New Year, so, yes, we have volunteers especially for the
:06:44. > :06:46.Christmas season. So it is an interim to make sure that for the
:06:47. > :06:50.benefit of all those coming to worship and the citizens of York
:06:51. > :06:54.they know that there is a very special service for Christmas
:06:55. > :06:58.happening tonight. Archbishop, everyone was upset. The bells had a
:06:59. > :07:04.tradition of ringing in Europe since 1361. I've not been a long quite as
:07:05. > :07:09.long as that, but it is very important for the people of York to
:07:10. > :07:13.be able to enjoy these bells. It was important and of course, because
:07:14. > :07:17.they are part of York Minster, they are being run for the glory of God.
:07:18. > :07:22.Not just the enjoyment but it is nice that everyone can enjoy these
:07:23. > :07:26.bells. When people say they have never stopped, well, they have been
:07:27. > :07:31.stopped because of cleaning and the Second World War so it is not true
:07:32. > :07:35.that have been ringing consistently through the 13th century, there have
:07:36. > :07:38.been gaps but because of the way the processors have happened, we are
:07:39. > :07:45.looking forward to recruiting a band who will abide by the church's
:07:46. > :07:51.processes in terms of safeguarding. What happens next, Dean of York?
:07:52. > :07:54.There are many services through Christmas and we hope very much
:07:55. > :07:58.there will be more bell-ringing. We will have to listen out to discover
:07:59. > :07:59.when that will be. Thank you very much indeed for sharing those bells
:08:00. > :08:02.with us this evening. Thank you. Yorkshire takes in more
:08:03. > :08:05.Syrian refugees than any We'll hear from some
:08:06. > :08:09.of the new arrivals. Like, you're feeling sad
:08:10. > :08:24.when you think about your family. A new report out today says last
:08:25. > :08:27.year's Boxing Day floods cost Yorkshire's economy over
:08:28. > :08:31.half a billion pounds. It says 4000 homes and 2000
:08:32. > :08:36.businesses were affected. committed by government and councils
:08:37. > :08:44.towards new flood defences. But another ?25 million
:08:45. > :08:48.is needed to accelerate more flood defence schemes
:08:49. > :08:51.with 90,000 homes Well, all week we've been back
:08:52. > :08:56.to those places most badly affected. Today, we return to Tadcaster
:08:57. > :09:01.where the town was split in two after its road bridge
:09:02. > :09:15.over the River Wharfe Well, I think it's fair to say that
:09:16. > :09:19.the people were hoping by this time this bridge would be open for
:09:20. > :09:22.Christmas. Sadly, because of a series of delays, that is not going
:09:23. > :09:27.to happen. We expected to happen towards the last week of January.
:09:28. > :09:30.But I spent all day today talking to various people, businesses and
:09:31. > :09:35.traders alike about the recovery and looking forward to 2017.
:09:36. > :09:41.The reopening of Tadcaster's Road Bridge was described as a national
:09:42. > :09:48.priority, but almost a year on, work to repair it remains unfinished. The
:09:49. > :09:53.repercussions of what happened here last December I still being felt. At
:09:54. > :09:59.the town's medical Centre, insurance costs have increased by almost
:10:00. > :10:06.1000%. There is an annual premium this year of ?39,500 with a ?100,000
:10:07. > :10:13.excess as compared to last year where our premium was ?3425.
:10:14. > :10:20.So you can imagine, we feel we are being somewhat unfairly punished. In
:10:21. > :10:24.the aftermath of the floods, the town hosted Prince Andrew 's friends
:10:25. > :10:30.of the devastation. We have been hosting since about 1851. One
:10:31. > :10:33.business affected was the iron mongers on Bridge Street. How high
:10:34. > :10:38.the water come in last December? The water came up to this level here and
:10:39. > :10:43.it was about three foot deep year and then about four feet deep down
:10:44. > :10:47.in the bottom level. Saw the whole shop? It has been a tough year for
:10:48. > :10:51.many traders. They hope the bridge reopening will get all businesses
:10:52. > :10:54.back on track. They seem to be recovering pretty well but the
:10:55. > :10:58.bridge will be the big thing. When it reopens, that will unite the town
:10:59. > :11:04.and hopefully that will busy things back up again. Across the road, the
:11:05. > :11:08.butcher estimates traders down by about 25% because of the bridge
:11:09. > :11:12.closure, but they say they are optimistic the 2017. The bridge will
:11:13. > :11:15.make a massive difference. We will have the traffic back, people
:11:16. > :11:19.looking into the shops and thinking it's a nice place to visit, so it
:11:20. > :11:23.will be a massive difference for us. It has been a turbulence 12 months
:11:24. > :11:28.for Tadcaster, but there is a discernible sense of optimism here.
:11:29. > :11:31.The floods may have divided the town physically, but its legacy has only
:11:32. > :11:35.served to unite the community more permanently.
:11:36. > :11:40.That's the thing, you are struck by the community endeavour and that
:11:41. > :11:43.willingness and spirits to get things back and get that recovery
:11:44. > :11:48.and turn it into optimism for the New Year ahead. But start to David
:11:49. > :11:52.Barrell from the county council. You have responsibility for this bridge
:11:53. > :11:55.here. Why wasn't it open for Christmas, what has been a problem?
:11:56. > :11:59.There have been a number of issues but as you can see, it is an
:12:00. > :12:03.incredibly difficult structure to rebuild. We are working to the
:12:04. > :12:07.programme. It was not open to Christmas but to open for the end of
:12:08. > :12:10.December so that we are working for one year after it unfortunately
:12:11. > :12:16.collapsed. High river levels unethically talked about that
:12:17. > :12:19.before, complexities with the national real bridge further
:12:20. > :12:24.downstream causing water to back up to our bridge, unfortunately that
:12:25. > :12:28.has sold our operation down a wee RER. Storms are coming over the next
:12:29. > :12:33.few days. People have been a little nervous about that. Is it likely to
:12:34. > :12:36.have an impact on what level here? No, we have been monitoring the
:12:37. > :12:39.forecast and although there might be heavy rain, that rain will be fairly
:12:40. > :12:46.transient. It certainly will not hit the wall so we have no concerns
:12:47. > :12:49.about flooding. Give us a date then, when can we see will track across
:12:50. > :12:52.this bridge? We are working to the programme we issued which is the
:12:53. > :12:56.27th of January so that is when we expect to have road traffic crossing
:12:57. > :12:58.the bridge again. A lot of companies work on the masonry particularly
:12:59. > :13:01.over the arches which they're building at the moment, that we are
:13:02. > :13:05.doing everything we can. The guys working on the bridge are throwing
:13:06. > :13:10.everything at it. That either coming down and talking to us. You heard it
:13:11. > :13:16.here, 27th of January. We will hold David to that and I'm sure that will
:13:17. > :13:23.be quite an occasion. Thank you. Don't remember the meat forget, that
:13:24. > :13:24.her to Yorkshire has a stage in Tadcaster.
:13:25. > :13:27.And tomorrow night Lara and I will be live in Hebden Bridge
:13:28. > :13:29.for a special floods anniversary edition of Look North.
:13:30. > :13:34.On the day it's been announced a new drug could be a landmark
:13:35. > :13:36.treatment for multiple sclerosis, BBC Look North can reveal increasing
:13:37. > :13:38.numbers of people have been travelling overseas for a different
:13:39. > :13:41.high-risk therapy because they don't qualify for UK trials.
:13:42. > :13:42.The treatment - which has been undergoing
:13:43. > :13:46.trials in Sheffield - has shown some extraordinary results
:13:47. > :13:48.in a small number of carefully selected patients
:13:49. > :13:56.Multiple sclerosis affects around 100,000 people
:13:57. > :14:00.in the UK and can cause problems with mobility and fatigue.
:14:01. > :14:02.Many are diagnosed with a relapsing form of MS
:14:03. > :14:05.where symptoms flare up and then fade.
:14:06. > :14:08.But others experience progressive forms of the disease,
:14:09. > :14:10.where disability continues to build up over time.
:14:11. > :14:15.Here's our health correspondent Jamie Coulson.
:14:16. > :14:20.Six months ago, Angela Austwick was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
:14:21. > :14:23.The 33-year-old is constantly exhausted
:14:24. > :14:27.feels like she's wearing ankle weights.
:14:28. > :14:30.She's been told her form of the disease is progressive,
:14:31. > :14:34.so her condition will get worse and worse.
:14:35. > :14:37.Everything just came to a standstill.
:14:38. > :14:42.The hopes and plans that we'd hand and everything that
:14:43. > :14:46.we'd always been excited about for the future, it just...
:14:47. > :14:52.Multiple sclerosis is an incurable disease where the body's
:14:53. > :14:56.own immune system attacks the protective layer on nerve cells
:14:57. > :15:01.It causes messages to and from the brain to
:15:02. > :15:05.become disrupted causing problems with vision, mobility,
:15:06. > :15:10.Doctors in Sheffield say patients with multiple sclerosis
:15:11. > :15:12.are showing remarkable improvements...
:15:13. > :15:14.A treatment being trialled in Sheffield as part of an
:15:15. > :15:18.international study that is normally used on cancer patients has given
:15:19. > :15:21.many people hope but not everyone is suitable
:15:22. > :15:24.and it comes with significant risks.
:15:25. > :15:26.It involves harvesting bone marrow stem cells
:15:27. > :15:30.before a patient undergoes chemotherapy to destroy
:15:31. > :15:35.The stem cells are then returned to the body and within a month,
:15:36. > :15:39.the immune system starts to work again or is rebooted.
:15:40. > :15:43.The treatment has seen remarkable results in some people and is most
:15:44. > :15:47.effective in those patients with the relapsing form of MS which is
:15:48. > :15:51.characterised by flare ups followed by periods of remission,
:15:52. > :15:54.but Angela has the progressive form of the disease
:15:55. > :15:59.and so doesn't qualify for the trials here in the UK.
:16:00. > :16:01.So, like others, she's looking abroad for the treatment.
:16:02. > :16:04.This clinic in Mexico has offered to treat Angela in April,
:16:05. > :16:11.The MS Society are unable to comment about
:16:12. > :16:13.individual clinics, but say questions remain about how effective
:16:14. > :16:18.this treatment can be for people with her type of MS.
:16:19. > :16:20.In progressive MS, we haven't seen so many benefits
:16:21. > :16:23.coming from this treatment in the research conducted so far.
:16:24. > :16:25.So we'd like to see more research in this area.
:16:26. > :16:28.But for people now who are considering HSCT,
:16:29. > :16:30.we'd advise them to go and speak to their neurologist.
:16:31. > :16:33.They can talk through all the details and go through the
:16:34. > :16:37.Importantly, this is an aggressive treatment.
:16:38. > :16:40.It comes with significant side effects and risks.
:16:41. > :16:42.This is where my treatment started in Mexico...

:16:52. > :16:55.There are things that I literally couldn't do and that I would have
:16:56. > :16:58.to walk round the kitchen holding onto the sides by seven o'clock
:16:59. > :17:02.every day just because I couldn't stand up any longer.
:17:03. > :17:05.I don't have that pain in my back any more.
:17:06. > :17:08.The clinic in Mexico says they are able
:17:09. > :17:11.to treat patients who have been turned down in the UK because they
:17:12. > :17:15.They also say all patients are informed about the procedure
:17:16. > :17:28.I'm scared of not doing anything about it.
:17:29. > :17:30.But I'm not scared of HSCT.
:17:31. > :17:40.Earlier I spoke to one of the men running the MS trial
:17:41. > :17:43.that you've just heard about at Sheffield's Hallamshire hospital.
:17:44. > :17:46.He told me why they were concerned about patients heading

:17:53. > :17:57.It has to be delivered by specialists with experience
:17:58. > :18:01.both in haematology and transplantation and neurology
:18:02. > :18:05.and the patients have to have the right sort of follow-up.
:18:06. > :18:08.Some patients are returning to the UK just with a letter
:18:09. > :18:12.to their GP and that is not satisfactory.
:18:13. > :18:16.These patients need to be under the care of the right
:18:17. > :18:19.expertise in the right hospitals if it's going
:18:20. > :18:23.So it's the after-care that's the real problem then?

:18:30. > :18:32.for their homes and constituency offices since the murder of Jo Cox.
:18:33. > :18:35.After the Batley and Spen MP was killed in June,
:18:36. > :18:42.Two years ago, the bill for this work was ?7700 pounds.
:18:43. > :18:46.The BBC understands it could now top half a million.
:18:47. > :18:49.People who worked in Grimethorpe colliery have gathered
:18:50. > :18:52.in the Barnsley village to pay tribute to miners who died at work.
:18:53. > :18:55.More than 150 miners lost their lives at Grimethorpe

:19:01. > :19:03.More men from the village died in Grimethorpe Colliery
:19:04. > :19:12.A minute's silence was held at the memorial at St Luke's Church.
:19:13. > :19:17.It were a filthy, dirty, horrible job but what made it was the men
:19:18. > :19:21.True men that you could have a laugh with and you could say

:20:05. > :20:06.for celebration over the past five years.
:20:07. > :20:12.But here in Bradford, a smile is never too far
:20:13. > :20:16.away at this Christmas party for young refugees.
:20:17. > :20:20.You feel here safety and the school is good.
:20:21. > :20:25.Just in Syria, like, all your cousins,
:20:26. > :20:30.Like, you're feeling sad just when you think
:20:31. > :20:33.Most of these children wouldn't normally celebrate
:20:34. > :20:38.Some have been through things you'd never want your
:20:39. > :20:43.For them, this is a chance to enjoy themselves.
:20:44. > :20:46.Call the baby Jesus. SHE TRANSLATES
:20:47. > :20:47.The local vicar has been brought
:20:48. > :20:54.Translating is Rosanna, a member of Syria's Christian minority.
:20:55. > :20:57.She arrived in Bradford in September.
:20:58. > :21:14.There is still no water, no electricity. Yet, but they are
:21:15. > :21:19.trying to survive with the minimum. Although I am away from my home,
:21:20. > :21:27.still I have the same Christmas spirit in me. I have this message of
:21:28. > :21:30.peace and love to my community, new community. And this community has
:21:31. > :21:34.given them a warm welcome, organising events like this one. A
:21:35. > :21:40.chance for the children to meet someone new. When they come into the
:21:41. > :21:43.centre, the children will be playing around in the hole. You can see the
:21:44. > :21:50.smiles on their faces and their talking to each other and that's
:21:51. > :21:53.quite hard for filling. You know, you think there's something that
:21:54. > :21:58.I've done today that's been worthwhile. It's thought about 1700
:21:59. > :22:02.Syrian refugees will be settled in Yorkshire by the end of 2018.
:22:03. > :22:08.Hopefully bringing some much-needed joyed to their world.
:22:09. > :22:10.That's lovely, isn't it? Good to see them smiling.
:22:11. > :22:12.Love them or hate them, they're an essential
:22:13. > :22:16.But has the price of your British sprouts shot up?
:22:17. > :22:18.Farmers are warning there are fewer available this year
:22:19. > :22:34.been out on the farm to get his pick of what's left.
:22:35. > :22:40.Turkeys and sprouts adults like Christmas, but farmers like Chris
:22:41. > :22:46.Stark do. But this year, has been tough with his crop attacked by a
:22:47. > :22:53.pest. The diamondbacks moth. Plenty of sprouts here. One or two. As you
:22:54. > :22:59.can see, Laver gets a lead in the crop and then makes holes in the
:23:00. > :23:04.sprouts and that is what causes the damage and it means we can no longer
:23:05. > :23:07.sell the sprouts. Sprouts that passed the quality control and up on
:23:08. > :23:14.the shelves at this green grocers in Wakefield. Sales are always but this
:23:15. > :23:18.time of year. We have the in going, on stalks? Yes, how do you think
:23:19. > :23:23.they grow? What a beautiful, beautiful thing that is. You can
:23:24. > :23:27.have them on different sizes as well. When you think about it, they
:23:28. > :23:31.are very slimming as well. All the good things in them. Foods expert
:23:32. > :23:36.Annie knows how to spruce up a sprout. I'd wait to see her at her
:23:37. > :23:40.North Yorkshire home. I've got a few jazzy wasted pep them out. I have
:23:41. > :23:43.part cooked the sprouts so they've been in boiling water for three to
:23:44. > :23:50.five minutes and I have called them down. And then this is a spicy kind
:23:51. > :23:59.of marinade. Some soy sauce, water, soft brown sugar, star unease,
:24:00. > :24:04.cinnamon sticks -- star anise. I've been at the sherry already! But it's
:24:05. > :24:08.allowed, it's Christmas. And some ginger. And then some spring onions.
:24:09. > :24:12.Just look at that, the smell is gorgeous, isn't it? Really lovely.
:24:13. > :24:19.And then in Boulder spring onions just to add a little bit of a kick
:24:20. > :24:23.to them. Ie, you know, defy anybody to say that they do not like sprouts
:24:24. > :24:31.when they have tasted those. The final one that I've got is a little
:24:32. > :24:35.bit of granny Smith apple. Really? Yes, with bacon and sprouts. And
:24:36. > :24:40.that's it. Who wouldn't like sprouts when they are cooked like that, Ian?
:24:41. > :24:45.That looks gorgeous. Let's see the finished results. I couldn't say
:24:46. > :24:51.anything else with you stood next to me, but they are absolutely
:24:52. > :24:55.delicious. Who knew sprouts could be so delicious? You don't know what
:24:56. > :24:57.you're missing, viewers, honestly. Thank you, Annie. Merry Christmas.
:24:58. > :25:05.And Merry Christmas to you too. Delicious sprouts? Who'd have
:25:06. > :25:09.thought we'd have been learning that.
:25:10. > :25:16.The one in the office would know I have man flu, but lots of wind
:25:17. > :25:20.tomorrow. There are warnings in place. It looks like a very windy
:25:21. > :25:25.Christmas weekend but a short little thing because next week looks set to
:25:26. > :25:31.be much,. Fine weather on offer. But there is the one in tomorrow.
:25:32. > :25:35.Localised deal. Oakley 70 mph for a times bright start turning very wet
:25:36. > :25:38.from the West courtesy of this very act of cold front that will come
:25:39. > :25:41.through from during Friday afternoon. You can see the number of
:25:42. > :25:45.isobars they're suggesting it's going to be extremely windy out
:25:46. > :25:49.there. Christmas Day, well, still a number of isobars in there but the
:25:50. > :25:53.other feature is how exceptionally mild it is going to be with
:25:54. > :25:58.temperatures perhaps 13 or 14 Celsius. That is very mild for this
:25:59. > :26:02.time of year. We have had one or two showers in the last few hours. We
:26:03. > :26:07.have picked the story up on a mostly fine note. Still be isolated shower
:26:08. > :26:11.possible pushing in from the West. Though shower was gradually fizzling
:26:12. > :26:17.out from the north and west Georgia so where you have shelter from the
:26:18. > :26:22.wind, there could be a ground frost. Temperatures perhaps down to two
:26:23. > :26:25.Celsius or one Celsius across sheltered parts of north Yorkshire.
:26:26. > :26:32.So the sun rises in the morning at 8:23am. Here are of the high water
:26:33. > :26:35.tanks. A bright start in the East with some sunshine but it won't be
:26:36. > :26:39.long before the clouds rattle in from the Atlantic bringing a bit of
:26:40. > :26:43.rain to the gales. There is the cold front. Watch it coming in bringing
:26:44. > :26:48.very heavy and squally winds and rain. It does go out of the way
:26:49. > :26:52.fairly rapidly by tomorrow evening and we are back to clear spells and
:26:53. > :26:55.scattered showers. But I suspect the main feature of the weather will be
:26:56. > :26:59.the strength of the wind is so temperatures very academic and nine
:27:00. > :27:04.or 10 Celsius but when you add in those 60 or 70 mph gusts, it will
:27:05. > :27:09.not feel very mild out of doors. Friday night, clear spells and
:27:10. > :27:14.scattered showers and Christmas Eve is not looking too bad. It is a day
:27:15. > :27:18.of sunshine with a few showers. Most showers in the West. The best of the
:27:19. > :27:23.fine weather further east. Look at these temperatures are Christmas
:27:24. > :27:27.Day. Absolutely no chance of a white Christmas, he says! A strong wind
:27:28. > :27:29.with gales in places and then boxing day onwards looks fine for next
:27:30. > :27:33.week. That is the forecast. We will hold
:27:34. > :27:38.you to that one! Here is a sight and sound to gladden
:27:39. > :27:42.the heart. The bells of York Minster. Quality, good night.
