Good evening. Our top story: A record fine for Network Rail after | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
the fatal Grayrigg crash in Cumbria but a stark warning from the unions. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
The court heard that systematic failures lead to the train being | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
derailed. Also tonight: Heated exchanges in court as the defence | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
gets under way in the Rochdale grooming case. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Snow brings chaos to parts of the North West with roads closed and | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
And She Loves You. It's back to the Cavern for a visit by one of the | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
Beatles' original fans. A massive Beatles fan. She told me how she | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
:00:59. | :01:02. | ||
went to their concerts are. Not Margaret Masson lost her life in | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
the Grayrigg derailment in Cumbria five years ago. 86 others were | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
injured. Today Network Rail was fined a record �4 million for the | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
systemic failures that led to the incident. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Today at Preston Crown Court the judge said she hoped the size of | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
the fine would ensure such an accident would never happen again. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
But that was questioned by the main rail union. Here's Jayne Barrett. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
In February 2007, a 300-ton Pendolino hit faulty points on the | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
line near Grayrigg. 86 were injured. Margaret Masson was killed. Today | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Network Rail was fined �4million. A record fine for a health and safety | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
breech. In finding the company -- in finding the company, the judge | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
said systemic failures were to blame for this, at the same | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
systemic failures that have been to blame for the Potters Bar | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
derailment. The company was not only guilty, it had relevant | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
previous convictions. Margaret Masson's granddaughter said because | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
of the way Network Rail was funded, the fine would ultimately be borne | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
by taxpayers and that was wrong. What would you have liked to have | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
happened to the people at the top of the company? I don't know. She | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
should still be here. This is the only man to have lost | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
his job over the incident. David Lewis failed to carry out a crucial | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
safety check. But the Masson family have never held him responsible. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
am glad it has all come to an end. You are the only person who has | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
lost his job through this. That is all I want to say. Today the judge | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
accepted he and his colleagues had neither the training, the tools nor | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
the time to implement necessary safety standards. Network Rail | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
declined requests for interviews but issued a statement: we have | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
learnt from the accident and we are determined to recognise what we got | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
wrong and put it right. But have they? This man, HM Chief Inspector | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
of Railways, admitted he has raised safety concerns with Network Rail | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
on four occasions since Grayrigg. Is it good enough that you have to | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
step in to make sure they are doing what they have been told to do? | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
is our job. Is it good enough that they do this? It is not good enough | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
and that is why at times we have had to act. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Outside court, rail unions protested. In light of funding cuts | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
and rail reviews they issued a warning. This is likely to happen | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
again for --. A man accused of sexually | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
exploiting teenaged girls today described one of his alleged | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
victims as a loud mouthed racist. And during heated exchanges in | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Liverpool Crown Court, he accused the prosecutor of being a bully and | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
the police of being corrupt. He is one of 11 men standing trial, | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
accused of exploiting young girls in the Rochdale area. All deny the | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
charges against them. Dave Guest followed today's proceedings in | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
court and he's there now. Let's turn to the man who made these | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
remarkable statements. What can you tell us about him? | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
I continue Key's 59 and from Oldham but I cannot tell you his name for | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
legal reasons -- I can tell you that he is 59. He is accused with | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
conspiracy to engage in underrate sexual activity with under-aged | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
girls, rape and trafficking. He describes those accusations as a | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
load of rubbish saying it never happened. He went on to describe a | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
15-year-old that he is accused of raping as being loud and aggressive, | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
a racist and a prostitute. He said she was like a bone in a kebab and | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
went on to say, her tongue is full of poison, it is all lies. I should | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
say that he is Asian and she is white. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
That was the theme he continued due under cross-examination? | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
That's right. He was asked by Rachel Smith prosecutor with the he | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
exploited the 15-year-old to make money. He replied with the swear | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
words and then went on to say the teenager was arrogant and that | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
anyone who was not white was considered inferior by her. He said | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
she had managed to plant forensic evidence to insinuating and that | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
she colluded with the police who he said were corrupt. He said the | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
prosecutor was a bully and added: You have only got my people here, | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
where all the white people? I should say that all the defendants | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
in this case are Asian. Have any to have been charged | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
alongside him spoken today? They all denied all of the charges. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Late this afternoon 25-year-old Kabir Hassan took the stand to | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
denied charges of rape and conspiracy. He said he never | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
touched a 15-year-old in any way. The trial continues tomorrow. Some | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
other news now from across the region. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
The jury in the trial of a baby who died in Lancaster have failed to | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
reach a verdict. A judge at Preston Crown Court directed them to find | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Karen Irvine and Christopher Roberts not guilty of murdering | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
four-month-old Lucas Irvine. Both may face a retrial on other charges | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
later this year. Police investigating the deliberate | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
poisoning of patients at Stepping Hill Hospital say they're looking | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
into the case of another patient. It's now believed 70-year-old Beryl | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Hope, who died last August, was poisoned with insulin last summer. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Police say, in total, seven deaths are now being linked to the insulin | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
contamination. Pontins has been fined for health | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
and safety breaches at its Lytham St Anne's site, which led to a | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
woman's death from legionnaires disease. 53-year-old Karen Taylor | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
died in July 2009 after visiting the site. The company's in | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
administration, limiting the fine to �1,000, but the judge said it | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
should have been �500,000. Her family say somebody should take | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
:06:58. | :06:58. | ||
responsibility. There is somebody out there that is liable for my | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
mum's deaf and I hope they can't sleep at night because they killed | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
my mother! Heavy overnight snow brought chaos | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
to many areas today causing problems for drivers and train | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
passengers. Roads on higher ground in | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Derbyshire remain difficult and there have been severe delays on | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
the M62. 2,000 homes in the Peak District are still without power. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Our Environment Correspondent reports. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
The scene first thing this morning in Buxton, after six inches of snow | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
fell in just a few hours. High winds added to the problems, | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
bringing a number of trees down. The snow has been causing chaos | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
overnight in many parts of Derbyshire, with four to five | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
inches of snow falling in the early hours of the morning. Many roads | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
have been closed throughout the day. Police advised drivers not to | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
travel as they closed several roads, including the Cat and Fiddle from | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Buxton to Macclesfield, and the Woodhead and Snake Passes In | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Saddleworth, the M62 ground to a halt for a time as drivers where | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
unable to keep moving. One man decided to abandon his car in the | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
early hours. It seemed OK until I needed to go up hill and then it | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
got star. Elsewhere, the Oldham area was also | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
hit by heavy snow, leading to the closure of the main roads into the | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
villages of Diggle and Denshaw. From the air it was clear that many | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
drivers were beaten by the sudden snowfall. Many isolated farms and | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
communities have struggled to keep moving. Farmers used ploughs | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
attached to tractors to push a way through to animals. Back in Buxton, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Northern Rail said rush hour trains in the Peak District were cancelled | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
because of drifting snow at higher levels. We were sat there from | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
7:45pm till 10pm, nobody moving. Horrendous. Power supplies to nine | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
thousand homes in the Peak District were disrupted but Western Power | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
:09:10. | :09:10. | ||
say 4,000 properties are back on. Astonishing after last week's | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
weather. Hopefully it will be a better day tomorrow. We will have | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
the full weather forecast later. It's deadline day for any | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
candidates wanting to become either Mayor of Liverpool or Salford. And | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
there's plenty of interest. A total of 22 people have put their | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
names forward. Tell us about the candidates. | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
12 have come forward. Liverpool will be seen as at every big | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
political prize on election night. People will be voting for the first | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
time for whoever they want to be the leader of the Council, with the | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
:09:57. | :10:02. | ||
new council of City mayor. Let's What we don't have in Liverpool of | :10:02. | :10:12. | |

the big independent names which What I would like to do in | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Liverpool is create more growth and jobs using my local business | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
experience to improve the economy. I am also looking to improve | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
council services and freeze council-tax, and make Liverpool a | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
cleaner, greener, safer city by cutting crime and looking after our | :10:33. | :10:42. | |
green spaces. That is Tony Caldeira, one of the candidates in Liverpool. | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
:10:52. | :10:58. | ||
There's been a surprise name in One name stands out, one of the | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
Independents, Paul Massey. He was jailed in 1999 for 14 years after | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
stabbing somebody and wounding with intent. He stabbed a man in | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Manchester city centre and almost killed him. Paul Massey was | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
formally known as Mr Big in Salford. There will be raised eyebrows about | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
this. It is true that the government wanted big and | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
independent names to come forward that would not aligned to political | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
:11:36. | :11:37. | ||
parties but I don't think that is We all know about leaves on the | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
line between the rail network to a standstill, then it was the wrong | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
kind of snow, and now stand has been causing transport problems. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
-- sand. Strong winds blew sand onto the | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
tracks in Blackpool today met. A day it would seem is a long time | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
in transport. One of Blackpool's new, modern trams, officially | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
unveiled just yesterday to a huge fanfare, tipped off the track at | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Fleetwood earlier this morning. David Evans was amongst dozens on | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
board. It wasn't any panic or anything like that. It literally | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
just stopped and we wondered why and then we found out that perhaps | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
things were not as they should have been. Each of these trams costs �2 | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
million and earlier today the Met Road ground to a halt because of | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
the derailment caused by sand. The irony was not lost on many | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
passengers at Fleetwood. I am surprised that the powers that be | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
in Blackpool did not realise that Sandra blow on the tracks. You get | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
the old trams and they never stopped, you get the new one and | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
the first day it is done! Blackpool Transport say all they need is the | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
bit of a brush out and then, they say, it will be back on the tracks | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
very shortly. We expect there to be issues and gremlins and we will | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
deal with those, as we did this morning, and we will learned from | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
those and we said this year will be a learning experience. While | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
Blackpool Transport work out a way to keep its high-tech tram system | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
on track, for the moment it is back to basics with brushes and shovels. | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
You couldn't make it up! Many people will look back fondly | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
on the 1960s and in particular, beetle mania, the music, the | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
fashion, the screaming girls. We now know that The Duchess of | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
Cornwall was herself one of those screaming girls. She visited | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Liverpool today to mark the 50th anniversary of the formation of the | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
Beatles. Sergeant Pepper lookalikes | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
entertain the crowds, braving a biting wind at the Beatles | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
exhibition in Liverpool. Some were here for the fab four, some for The | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
Duchess. She is a real princess. quite like the Royal Family and I | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
think she is part of it now. Another Beatles tribute fan band | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
played for The Duchess. John Lennon once invited royalty to rattle | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
their jewellery in time to the music but here, their toes were | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
tapping and she knew the words. Massive Beatles fan! She taught me | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
how she went to the constants, not just in the UK but in Paris -- she | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
told me how she went to their concerts. She said she tried to | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
identify herself on the picture of all the screaming girls. Did she? | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
She said she was carried off on a stretcher but I think she might | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
have been joking! This August it is 50 years since Ringo Starr joined | :15:06. | :15:16. | |
:15:16. | :15:20. | ||
the Beatles, hence the celebrations It we were playing the piano and | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
the Duchess czars and said to me, I would join a India Yellow Submarine | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
but I cannot. They gave Camilla an official gift, | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:43. | ||
but she also got some official T- shirts. | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
And snow for the sport, great news from Down Under for one of her | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
Olympic teams. Yes, two names that are not household names yet. Pete | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Kennaugh and Steven Burke. They could be bigger names in a few | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
months' time. They are half of the British team that has just broken a | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
world record at the track cycling world championship in Melbourne, | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
and even better, they beat the Australians on home turf. This | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
Chileans were the favourites. -- the Australians were the favourites. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
They will be a good bet for her a gold in London. | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
I am lost for words. I had been wanting this for the last four | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
years and it has never quite happened. Tecumseh is chilly and | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
beat the Australians on their own - - on their home at Turf. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
What a fantastic day for them, but a bit disappointing for some of her | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
cyclists. Disappointment for Sir Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny. There | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
are beaten today but hope to be in top form for the Olympics. Rugby | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
Union news now. Nine years after joining Stockport County, they're | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
off to share a ground with Salford Reds. She stopped. -- should | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
Stockport County be worries? Be say that if Sale Sharks stop | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
moving forward they die. They have announced that they will be playing | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
in Salford for at least the next five seasons. Does it matter | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
whether you actually end sale are not? Not these days. | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
The will be sharing with Super League's Salford City Reds. It is | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
about making them more attractive to sponsors. It is also about | :17:50. | :18:00. | |
:18:00. | :18:00. | ||
potential. Edge -- bigger past year is 12,000, with them potential and | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
the future to rue increase its two 20,000. | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
It has not been to bat this season, but the few years before that had | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
become really quite boggy at Edgeley Park. Looking at the | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
picture at the moment this is an and off some state. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Where does this leave Stockport County? They will have Edgeley Park | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
to themselves for next season, and publicly work -- publicly welcome | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
this as an opportunity. But the ground is owned by Sale Sharks's | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
owners. If the pull-out, they will have to find money fast. You're not | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
going to say, you have finished with Edgeley Park, now you're on | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
your own? No, we are working closely with them to help them | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
achieve the status that they want. The status of a sale was looking | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
bright. Back to the Olympics, and there is disappointment tonight for | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
two of her north-west rowers. They were dropped from the prestigious | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
:19:17. | :19:19. | ||
immense's coxless fours grew. They have been selected for her another | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
teens. It is an event which has given | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
Britain some of its best Olympic moments. For the lads from Cheshire | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
have made up the last -- made up the men's coxless four. Last summer, | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
they convincingly won the World Championship. But after the British | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
team for the Olympic season was announced today, it is possible | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
that none of them will be in that boat.? Of the men have definitely | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
:20:01. | :20:01. | ||
been made to the men's eight. not my decision. We are world | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
champions and I do not see any reason why we could not have | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
carried on to be Olympic champions. That was the project and the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
project has been changed. That is the way that sport is an there is | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
no point hanging around whingeing about it. The decision will be made | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
in the next fortnight whether they will change -- where there he will | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
join them. The eight would be a really great | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
experience. This excess land experienced | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
British courts -- British court says that this is the most | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
experienced team he has ever assembled. But they may not be in | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
their preferred board this summer, they will still have a great chance | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
of Olympic gold. There was happier news for two | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
cover other law as fit -- other rowers. Olivia Whitman and Chris | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
Bartley were chosen for her are the events that they wish to come the | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
10th. Owen Coyle has been named Premier League manager of the month. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
No one can argue with that after the way that he handled the Fabrice | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
Muamba business. Finally, preparations are well under way at | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
Preston North End to celebrate Sir Tom Finney's 90 birthday tomorrow. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
A 40 feet mural of the great man has been erected on the glass | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
entrance to the Tom Finney Stand at Deepdale. It will remain a | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
permanent tribute to him, he paid - - he played many times for the club. | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
We are going to be there tomorrow. It is Guild year in Preston and | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
this is a very big week. BBC takes to the streets on Friday to | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
broadcast the Preston Passion, which includes three special dramas. | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
:22:06. | :22:07. | ||
We were given exclusive access find the scenes. | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
We had almost no information to begin with a tall, other than to | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
retell the Passion story, the Good Friday story, in Preston. Very | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
rarely do you get a chance to write from the heart as freely as this. | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
The director and I had three weeks to prepare? Period films and a | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
contemporary film. It feels like you are stepping in see a piece of | :22:35. | :22:43. | |
Renaissance art. Have you nothing to say? | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
We were in the court interest in and I suppose that the practical | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
challenge is to realise that it is a day-to-day working court. As a | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
result, we were then shooting every evening. | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
:23:06. | :23:07. | ||
I am playing Amaia from Preston in 1946 when the riots happened. | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
They are trying parallels with the same moral dilemma that conscious | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
pilot went through a during the passion. This is something that I | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
am very aware of of. It is set in World War I, | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
replicating Preston railway station. It is such a touching story. That | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
is so emotional and sat. So many people do not return home. I wish | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
you could see me in my 10 hat and gas mask. | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
To handle the prayer book he had the bullet hole through it is so | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
profoundly moving. The people of Preston are quite | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
heavily involved in it. You also have the lovely | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
contemporary piece. What is lovely about that piece is to have a young | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
:24:17. | :24:20. | ||
girl play that part. She is a young girl, she is only 12. She is local | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
to Preston. We find Preston to be incredibly | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
warm and welcoming. I hope we have reflected some of that energy and | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
colour in the film. I hope the people of Preston will be very | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
:24:44. | :24:46. | ||
proud and pleased with the entire event. | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Rarely did films. We will hear more her from a young schoolgirl from | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
Preston he appears in one of those dramas later. You do need a ticket | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
to attend on Friday. There is more information on the Preston Guild | :25:01. | :25:11. | |

today, it does not take a large amount of snow because disruption. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
Most of us have experienced strong winds all through last night and | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
the day-to-day. Over 14,000 there are some places. We had trees down, | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:08. | ||
and look at this... It has to get better tonight. The worst of the | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
weather is Clearing. In parts of Staffordshire at 4:00pm it was | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
still snowing steadily. Through the night tonight it is all about the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
temperatures. You have to feel for those who have no power, because | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
look at the Blue descending all across the region. 021 Celsius | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
along the coast, or you might get two Celsius here and there. In | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
rural areas it will be minus two Celsius or minus three Celsius. | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
Where there is still snow on the ground it could be minus four | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
Celsius or minus five Celsius. Just about everywhere sees a lot of | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
sunshine from the word go. It will stay that way all the way through | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
the day, radically different to today. We keep that breeze, but it | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
is only a breeze, five miles an hour. After a chilly start, the | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
temperatures will go to nine Celsius. | :27:14. | :27:24. | |
