:00:00. > :00:07.Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and

:00:08. > :00:10.Graham Liver ` our top story. Jailed for attacking their sister's

:00:11. > :00:18.gay partner, a judge condemns a kidnap attempt by a Muslim family in

:00:19. > :00:21.Blackburn. The judge said it was a carefully planned ambush about power

:00:22. > :00:23.and control. Also tonight: Anti`fracking activists allege

:00:24. > :00:35.police brutality, but the police accuse protestors of intimidating

:00:36. > :00:38.residents. Stop the police cuts urges Greater Manchester's crime

:00:39. > :00:44.commission after a rise in thefts. Britain is building again, the news

:00:45. > :00:48.for the guys at this required, back in business after losing their jobs

:00:49. > :00:52.four years ago. Sky high ` the skier who learnt the

:00:53. > :00:57.sport in Kendal is heading for the Olympics in Sochi. I just want to

:00:58. > :01:12.come home crowd and do my country proud.

:01:13. > :01:17.Six members of a Muslim family who attacked a gay woman because she was

:01:18. > :01:21.in a relationship with her sister have been jailed for a total of 29

:01:22. > :01:24.years. Shocking footage shows the members of the family from black

:01:25. > :01:29.than trying to kidnap their sister's gay partner. We will be

:01:30. > :01:33.showing those images. We warn you some of them might find the picture

:01:34. > :01:42.is distressing. Our chief reporter was at Preston Crown Court. The

:01:43. > :01:47.judge said that this was a case of power and control, it was about

:01:48. > :01:51.striking terror into the heart to control not just the body but also

:01:52. > :01:55.the will. The claim could not accept the fact of a younger sister had

:01:56. > :01:59.formed a same`sex relationship so they set out to wreck that

:02:00. > :02:05.relationship using violence. The video images are shocking. Our

:02:06. > :02:09.family vent their fury on their sister's gay partner. It is

:02:10. > :02:14.happening in broad daylight in a Blackburn Street and has been caught

:02:15. > :02:19.on camera. Their victim is told you have messed with the wrong Muslims,

:02:20. > :02:25.we are going to kill you. It is vicious assault, born out of a

:02:26. > :02:31.desire to make their sister adhere to their ways. The woman and attack

:02:32. > :02:38.was Sarah Jane Harrison. She had begun a relationship with a Muslim

:02:39. > :02:42.woman. But the Muslim woman was concerned about what a family would

:02:43. > :02:45.think when her family realised she was gay. She moved out of the family

:02:46. > :02:50.home and moved in with Miss Harrison, but her family were

:02:51. > :02:54.determined to find her. Six of her siblings hatched a plot to beat and

:02:55. > :02:59.then kidnap Miss Harrison in the hope of tracing their sister. They

:03:00. > :03:01.ambushed her on the street in Blackburn as she was leaving work.

:03:02. > :03:09.This camera caught what happened next. Three of the women are seen

:03:10. > :03:15.kicking and punching Miss Harrison and trying to bundle her into a car.

:03:16. > :03:19.Their brother is just off`camera. He is threatening a colleague of Miss

:03:20. > :03:24.Harrison who were tried to help her. Another of the sisters, seen here

:03:25. > :03:26.covering her face, encouraged the attack in a text. She told her

:03:27. > :03:38.siblings: she admitted conspiracy to cause

:03:39. > :03:50.actual bodily harm as did her sister. The judge said he was

:03:51. > :03:53.satisfied his group had been motivated by their hostility towards

:03:54. > :04:00.people of a lesbian sexual orientation. He jailed the brother

:04:01. > :04:04.for six years, three of the women seen on the CCTV got five years and

:04:05. > :04:09.four months each and the other two women got three and a half years

:04:10. > :04:12.each. Well the case is likely to raise

:04:13. > :04:15.concerns over the attitudes of some muslims towards homosexuality.

:04:16. > :04:18.Earlier I spoke to Dr Usama Hasan, from the Quilliam Foundation ` a

:04:19. > :04:27.think tank set up to challenge extremism and asked him his reaction

:04:28. > :04:33.to the case. It's a hurricane in case, and I'm glad that the judge

:04:34. > :04:37.has agreed that this is a premeditated hate crime `` a

:04:38. > :04:41.horrifying case. It simply cannot be defended in UK law. We know that in

:04:42. > :04:50.some countries, under sharia law ` homosexuality is seen as a crime, as

:04:51. > :04:54.a sin. In other Muslim countries it isn't, and it is legal. How common

:04:55. > :04:58.is it that it is thought of as a scene in this country?

:04:59. > :05:05.Traditionally, taking a literal list view, like other faiths from the

:05:06. > :05:12.days of Abraham, it would seem that sexuality is a scene. However this

:05:13. > :05:18.is only one interpretation of the Faith and there is no such thing as

:05:19. > :05:25.one definitive sharia law. In this country, we have our own rule of

:05:26. > :05:32.law, it is this law that exists and not a sharia law instead or in

:05:33. > :05:36.parallel to. Would you say we need to have caution here? This is one

:05:37. > :05:41.criminal case and it shouldn't be thought that there are similar cases

:05:42. > :05:48.going on throughout the country and the North West? Absolutely, this is

:05:49. > :05:52.one case. A very upsetting case but it is certainly not reflective of

:05:53. > :05:57.all 5 million as limbs in the UK. It is certainly not reflective of the

:05:58. > :06:03.Muslim majority or minority countries in the world and it

:06:04. > :06:06.shouldn't be seen as that. However, the debate that is going on between

:06:07. > :06:14.religious rights and human rights is very important, also in Islam. The

:06:15. > :06:21.role of sexual orientation has to come into this, to achieve a

:06:22. > :06:31.solution to tyrants that would tackle some of these issues. ``

:06:32. > :06:34.tyrants. `` tolerance. The Mental Health tribunal, which

:06:35. > :06:37.last year refused Ian Brady permission to return to prison from

:06:38. > :06:40.hospital, has today revealed the reasons for its decision. The

:06:41. > :06:43.tribunal said the Moors Murderer was still mentally ill, and Ashworth

:06:44. > :06:47.Hospital on Merseyside was the best place for him to be treated. It also

:06:48. > :06:51.said his notoriety would put him at significant risk in prison.

:06:52. > :06:54.The Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans has denied allegations of sexual

:06:55. > :06:57.offences against seven men. During a hearing at Preston Crown Court, he

:06:58. > :07:02.pleaded not guilty to two counts of indecent assault, six of sexual

:07:03. > :07:11.assault, and one of rape. Mr Evans is due to stand trial in March. It

:07:12. > :07:15.has been two months since the anti`fracking camp was set up. But

:07:16. > :07:20.in the last few days tensions appear to be growing between police and

:07:21. > :07:25.protesters. One demonstrator is making claims as police brutality,

:07:26. > :07:29.an allegation police deny. They accuse activists of deliberately

:07:30. > :07:36.seeking confrontation. The protesters say that is untrue.

:07:37. > :07:41.Another day, another protest at the Barton Moss camp. This is a

:07:42. > :07:43.demonstration against fracking, but tensions are rising between

:07:44. > :07:47.protestors and police. One demonstrator, known as Kris, posted

:07:48. > :07:50.this video online. The pictures eventually go black but he goes on

:07:51. > :08:00.to allege he was assaulted by officers. Police deny the claims but

:08:01. > :08:03.have referred the matter to its professional standards branch as a

:08:04. > :08:11.matter of course, despite the fact Kris hasn't lodged a complaint. I

:08:12. > :08:14.checked with our professional standards Branch, no complaint had

:08:15. > :08:20.been registered by the gentleman. We will look into the matter and we

:08:21. > :08:24.will thoroughly investigated but honestly get that complaint in the

:08:25. > :08:32.detail of the allegation, it is difficult to get to the bottom of

:08:33. > :08:36.the facts. The protester posted this photo of himself online. He has been

:08:37. > :08:39.charged with wilful obstruction and resisting arrest. But the claims and

:08:40. > :08:43.counter claims on both sides go on. This week police said there had ben

:08:44. > :08:46.a change in mood at the camp and a growing number of protestors were

:08:47. > :08:50.arriving to antagonise officers and intimidate the local community. Some

:08:51. > :08:53.residents have said they feel intimidated when they drive past the

:08:54. > :09:00.tents. One agreed to speak to us, but said she didn't want to be

:09:01. > :09:04.identified fear of reprisals. We can't get out of our access road.

:09:05. > :09:08.Stopping us, blocking us, delaying us, and hurling abuse at us, dirty

:09:09. > :09:10.looks. The protestors strongly deny claims. In a statement the Barton

:09:11. > :09:25.Moss camp said: The daily stand`off between police

:09:26. > :09:39.and the anti`fracking protestors has now becoming a war of words on both

:09:40. > :09:44.sides. The Conservatives have selected a 26`year`old vicar to be

:09:45. > :09:49.there candidate in the wood assure by`election, which will be held in

:09:50. > :09:54.just under three weeks. Mr Critchlow says the Tories will do the most to

:09:55. > :09:58.support the local economy. I am a vicar, I have a tight budget, a junk

:09:59. > :10:06.family, money matters are important to me. The things the Conservatives

:10:07. > :10:10.are strong on is the strong economy. They are building a strong

:10:11. > :10:13.foundation. Cumbria's only Children's Hospice is

:10:14. > :10:17.hoping it'll be able to support more families with the help of BBC Radio

:10:18. > :10:20.Cumbria. Over the next year, the radio station's hoping to raise up

:10:21. > :10:23.to ?80,000. Among other things, it'll pay for equipment which can be

:10:24. > :10:30.taken to homes or community centres to create temporary sensory units.

:10:31. > :10:35.We have a lovely sensory room here but we would like to be able to take

:10:36. > :10:41.sensory equipment out, and hold sessions out in the community as

:10:42. > :10:45.well, or in children's homes. The government is being urged to

:10:46. > :10:48.reconsider police budget cuts which would lead to the loss of 300

:10:49. > :10:53.officers in greater Manchester. The commissioner says he is worried

:10:54. > :10:56.because although crimes overall going down, specific offences like

:10:57. > :11:00.burglary and theft are on the increase. Tony Lloyd believes he

:11:01. > :11:08.thinks it is because of cuts in welfare benefit.

:11:09. > :11:11.The figures cover the year between September 2012 and September 20 3.

:11:12. > :11:16.Overall, crime in Greater Manchester was down year on year by 6.7%. But

:11:17. > :11:20.domestic burglaries are up 2.1% Theft from the person's risen by

:11:21. > :11:24.almost 19%. And sexual offences up by over 16% ` but it's thought that

:11:25. > :11:29.might be the effect of the Jimmy Savile scandal. Worried that he s

:11:30. > :11:32.losing 300 police this year, Greater Manchester's Police and Crime

:11:33. > :11:39.Commissioner says more recent crime figures suggest the trend is

:11:40. > :11:45.reversing. These suggest that there are people who feel themselves

:11:46. > :11:49.abandoned in our society, with those benefits cuts, whether it is around

:11:50. > :11:54.things like the bedroom tax, it is not a justification but it is a

:11:55. > :12:00.recognition, if you put people down and down, sometimes they will find

:12:01. > :12:03.ways of making their own decisions that we don't like. The government

:12:04. > :12:07.has repeatedly said that crime has been consistently falling despite

:12:08. > :12:11.the reduction in police numbers But on the day the figures show a slight

:12:12. > :12:14.rise in burglaries in Greater Manchester, we hear the Chorlton

:12:15. > :12:17.district has a higher rate of insurance claims for break`ins than

:12:18. > :12:20.anywhere else. It has more than 42 claims per thousand people. Some

:12:21. > :12:27.residents weren't surprised by the figures. We were burgled a couple of

:12:28. > :12:33.months ago, they broke into the garden shed at the back, we lost two

:12:34. > :12:38.bikes. We were burgled through the front window. I think they were

:12:39. > :12:43.opportunists, they saw two laptops, and then they opened the window and

:12:44. > :12:46.then out again. After recent allegations crime figures have been

:12:47. > :12:53.massaged by the Metropolitan Police in London, Greater Manchester's are

:12:54. > :12:58.going to be independently audited. I have got to make sure that I have

:12:59. > :13:02.got confidence, the public got confidence, that police and other

:13:03. > :13:07.agencies are accurate in recording. That's the beginning and end of the

:13:08. > :13:12.conversation, giving people confidence that we're not try to

:13:13. > :13:17.people the figures. Do you trust the figures? I trust figures. Tony Lloyd

:13:18. > :13:25.says the audit should be completed by the end of next month. Still to

:13:26. > :13:28.come on North West Tonight. Flying the Olympic flag for the North West.

:13:29. > :13:36.Meet the skier who learned to spin and jump right here in Kendal. And

:13:37. > :13:40.the end of an era for this historic lab where.

:13:41. > :13:47.Bricks were first made in Claffton in 1898. But at the height of the

:13:48. > :13:52.last recession the historic site was mothballed, 28 men made redundant.

:13:53. > :13:55.But today 20 of those men were back in work, back making bricks as the

:13:56. > :13:58.yard officially re`opened. Here s Jayne McCubbin with a good news

:13:59. > :14:13.story not just about them, but about the shape of the UK economy. Back

:14:14. > :14:17.making bricks. It's good to be back! For most of the last century, these

:14:18. > :14:22.buckets could be seen carrying clay from the Moorside. Rogue police

:14:23. > :14:26.bringing them into Claffton brickworks, and then the recession

:14:27. > :14:35.hit. The house`building sector tumbled from our high in 2005 to a

:14:36. > :14:42.in 2009. That is when the plant was mothballed. A harsh reminder of

:14:43. > :14:53.recession, worse still, the loss of livelihood. This has been going on a

:14:54. > :14:58.long time. Glad to be back? I am, yet. We need to introduce some

:14:59. > :15:07.younger employment, get more people trained up, the next generation of

:15:08. > :15:13.workers. 100 plus! These are some of 32 million bricks they expect to

:15:14. > :15:17.make this year. We made 28 people redundant four years ago and now we

:15:18. > :15:23.are in a position where we can take 20 people back, ex employees have

:15:24. > :15:28.come back to their job. The Dennis, who fires the kiln, it is a huge

:15:29. > :15:33.deal. He, his son and brothers, all back in their old jobs. It feels

:15:34. > :15:38.really good, it is about the next generation. Claffton bricks will

:15:39. > :15:45.help build 20,000 new homes in the next year. In 2013 the North West

:15:46. > :15:50.won the third biggest share of new construction projects. The Northwest

:15:51. > :15:54.is getting back in business. And our political editor Arif Ansari

:15:55. > :15:57.will be debating the state of the North West economy with local MPs

:15:58. > :16:05.Alison McGovern and David Rutley on this week's Sunday Politics. That's

:16:06. > :16:09.at 11 o'clock, Sunday on BBC One. Well Richard is here now ahead of

:16:10. > :16:17.the weekend's sport and we're still waiting for Manchester United's big

:16:18. > :16:21.move into the transfer market. What is the matter with this deal? ! I

:16:22. > :16:26.see what you did there! Yes, it s all a bit frustrating for United

:16:27. > :16:30.fans now. They know that Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata is the target,

:16:31. > :16:34.that a fee of ?37 million has been agreed and even that the Londoners

:16:35. > :16:37.would allow him to travel for a medical, but there's still no deal

:16:38. > :16:40.done. Should United fans be concerned? They'll be jittery but I

:16:41. > :16:43.don't think they should be too worried. My understanding is that

:16:44. > :16:46.the deal is being held up by Chelsea's efforts to sign Mata's

:16:47. > :16:54.replacement Mohamed Salah from Basel, a target for Liverpool. With

:16:55. > :17:05.you expect the move to be completed in the next couple of days. Taking

:17:06. > :17:08.centre stage tomorrow is the FA Cup. At Rochdale where Sheffield

:17:09. > :17:11.Wednesday are the visitors. And after Dale's win over Leeds United

:17:12. > :17:15.in the last round the whole town is talking about it. With Dale second

:17:16. > :17:18.in League Two, manager Keith Hill insists the priority is promotion,

:17:19. > :17:21.but has a simple message for his players when it comes to the Cup.

:17:22. > :17:24.Enjoy it. We have got level`headed characters, we have honesty in our

:17:25. > :17:28.side. I think it has been reflected in the Games we have played since

:17:29. > :17:33.the FA Cup. The players realise that this is a break from our priority,

:17:34. > :17:37.our priority is the league but it's a great break to have.

:17:38. > :17:39.There's also a big game in the Championship tomorrow where Barry

:17:40. > :17:42.Ferguson makes his managerial debut in temporary charge of Blackpool.

:17:43. > :17:45.The Scotland midfielder replaces the sacked Paul Ince and has drafted in

:17:46. > :17:48.reinforcements for the visit of Doncaster, signing Blackburn striker

:17:49. > :17:53.David Goodwille and Middlesbrough winger Andy Halliday on loan. But

:17:54. > :17:59.what is the stand`in manager's message for The Seasiders' fans

:18:00. > :18:02.Just get behind us, simple as that. We know it has been a difficult

:18:03. > :18:08.period this last eight or nine Games, I think they will get behind

:18:09. > :18:11.us, no problem. Forget about me it's the boys in the dressing room,

:18:12. > :18:15.wants to go on the pitch, I'm sure the fans will get behind them.

:18:16. > :18:18.We know in the men's game that Manchester City's riches have turned

:18:19. > :18:21.the club into one of the Premier Leagues powerhouses. And now women's

:18:22. > :18:24.football might be taking a similar shape. Today City launched their new

:18:25. > :18:28.Women's Football Club as they prepare for the new season in the

:18:29. > :18:37.Superleague. Yunus Mulla was at the launch for us. The word ladies was

:18:38. > :18:42.dropped and it is Manchester City women's football club from now on.

:18:43. > :18:47.The blues manager Manuel Pellegrini and head coach of development were

:18:48. > :18:53.among the assembled guests. The club are trying to integrate both sides

:18:54. > :18:57.of the game. This club has a shared vision and methodology, from the

:18:58. > :19:02.Academy and younger teams at nine and ten to the men's first team and

:19:03. > :19:06.women's first thing. We want one identity, whoever you come and watch

:19:07. > :19:09.here. Although there has been a women's size since 1988, the new

:19:10. > :19:16.look club will compete in the expanded women's super league in

:19:17. > :19:20.2014. With added New Zealand international on`board as well as

:19:21. > :19:27.for England players, they include step out from Arsenal. For us as

:19:28. > :19:33.footballers, to help us improve it is something I cannot turn it down,

:19:34. > :19:38.I'm excited about the new season. This follows the investment earlier

:19:39. > :19:42.this week in a football club at Melbourne and the creation of a New

:19:43. > :19:47.York side last year. Manchester City is hoping to make its presence felt

:19:48. > :19:51.in every part of the game. They will move to the city Academy, they will

:19:52. > :19:57.be a new builds community coaching programme. People were saying, you

:19:58. > :20:01.don't look like a footballer, you read Barbie doll! Other people have

:20:02. > :20:07.a perception of women's football, and with people coming on board we

:20:08. > :20:12.can change that. The Masters in Abu Dhabi seem intent on making the club

:20:13. > :20:19.of force in the super league in the same way their male counterparts

:20:20. > :20:23.have become in the yearly. A freestyle skier from the North

:20:24. > :20:26.West is preparing to take on the best in the world at the Winter

:20:27. > :20:30.Olympics in Sochi. Emma Lonsdale is what's known as a a half`pipe

:20:31. > :20:34.skiier. That's the event where they do the jumps and tricks. But as I

:20:35. > :20:37.found out she didn't start out on the slopes of the Alps but on a

:20:38. > :20:43.piste in Cumbria. Meet Emma Londsdale. On skis since

:20:44. > :20:44.she was two and now off to the Winter Olympics.In the thrilling

:20:45. > :21:01.freestyle event of halfpipe skiing. Very, very proud. It's a new event

:21:02. > :21:05.in the Olympics. So it's quite a privilege to be one of the first

:21:06. > :21:10.athletes to ever compete in half pipe skiing in the Olympics. As one

:21:11. > :21:13.of the world's best, Emma has of course skied and won events around

:21:14. > :21:17.the world. But she learnt the tricks of her trade much closer to home. On

:21:18. > :21:24.this dry slope in Kendal. And her local club couldn't be prouder. Emma

:21:25. > :21:28.is just the most bubbly, laid`back person you could ever imagine. A

:21:29. > :21:33.real character, but totally dedicated to what she is doing.

:21:34. > :21:42.Don't know who is more excited, the club or! , really proud of her.

:21:43. > :21:49.My ambitions are to ski the best I can ski. I want to make the finals,

:21:50. > :21:56.which is top 12, but I just want to come home proud, do my country proud

:21:57. > :22:01.and ski the best I can. I'm sure your family are very proud of you.

:22:02. > :22:05.Yeah, I'm sure people are getting sick of hearing about it, my mum and

:22:06. > :22:13.dad are very proud parents! Emma will fly out to Russia at the start

:22:14. > :22:17.of next month. Finally from me, a reminder that you

:22:18. > :22:20.can get all the best coverage and commentary from this weekend's

:22:21. > :22:24.Football League and FA Cup ties on your BBC local radio station. And it

:22:25. > :22:27.all starts at eight o'clock tonight with commentary of Preston's tie at

:22:28. > :22:38.Nottingham Forest on BBC Radio Lancashire. Didn't realise you were

:22:39. > :22:46.such a Winter Olympics expert! You know I am not! Half pipe is because

:22:47. > :22:51.of the shape? It's like the skateboard thing, where they do the

:22:52. > :22:58.tricks. You didn't watch it, did you? You see! They weren't paying

:22:59. > :23:04.attention. We were! Moving on quickly. Sir John Charnley was a

:23:05. > :23:08.surgeon whose work has transformed the lives of hundreds of people

:23:09. > :23:14.around the world, from the early 1960s he pioneered hip replacement

:23:15. > :23:18.surgery. The lab and workshop where he developed his metal and plastic

:23:19. > :23:21.joints are now a museum and still standing, but building work at the

:23:22. > :23:33.hospital means a machine will soon have defined a new home. `` to find

:23:34. > :23:38.a new home. John Charnley was born in Bury in 1911. He pioneered the

:23:39. > :23:42.use of artificial hips using metal and plastic, not just metal on

:23:43. > :23:47.metal. He did it all in a small laboratory at this hospital.

:23:48. > :23:52.Children from a nearby primary school have been finding out about

:23:53. > :23:57.it for a project. He was a very important man who invented hip

:23:58. > :24:03.replacements, and I think he was very clever. As a doctor, he was

:24:04. > :24:08.superb, it's like working with a human dynamo. He is one of those

:24:09. > :24:11.people who never sat still, if you did a walk around, I have longer

:24:12. > :24:20.legs than he had and I have forgot in keeping up because he ran

:24:21. > :24:23.everywhere. He had machines to test how well his artificial joints

:24:24. > :24:29.moved, to see how well different sorts of plastic wore out when

:24:30. > :24:37.rubbed by metal. He says people 's lives. But the hospital is expanding

:24:38. > :24:43.and needs the space where John Charnley's laboratories stand. We

:24:44. > :24:46.are hoping to relocate the whole site to new premises but that will

:24:47. > :24:52.be subject to a successful lottery application. John Charnley made his

:24:53. > :24:59.hip replacement in this workshop and made his trainee surgeons do metal

:25:00. > :25:05.work too. Very big for what they do. He also invented this, some of the

:25:06. > :25:12.exhibits will go on display in the hospital. If he hadn't invented hip

:25:13. > :25:18.replacement, people who needed it would still be in pain. We talked

:25:19. > :25:23.about a bit of snow over Cumbria last night. As I left the office, I

:25:24. > :25:31.could have sworn there was snow along the sides of the road. We had

:25:32. > :25:34.a lot of hail last night, but we also had some slushy snow as well.

:25:35. > :25:44.It just didn't last, luckily for us! We had everything yesterday, a lot

:25:45. > :25:51.of rain, sunshine, I can assure you, plenty in the forecast for

:25:52. > :25:56.Saturday. For the weekend, Saturday we are going to see Buster and

:25:57. > :26:07.showers and some sunshine. On Sunday we will see some very heavy rain,

:26:08. > :26:11.maybe gales in places. Tonight, you can see it will leave lots of

:26:12. > :26:16.showers, maybe some fog patches A bit of a westerly breeze bringing

:26:17. > :26:21.showers in by dawn. Five or six Celsius, maybe some frost patches in

:26:22. > :26:26.places. Tomorrow morning, we start off cloudy but we are going to see

:26:27. > :26:31.some sunshine for a time. Showers continue to feed in from the west,

:26:32. > :26:34.by afternoon, more showers continuing to feed in, some of them

:26:35. > :26:39.quite heavy'. We will see hail tomorrow, some slushy snow once

:26:40. > :26:45.again, the chance of thunder as well through the afternoon, another day

:26:46. > :26:52.of everything but the kitchen sink. Quite breezy as well. Despite highs

:26:53. > :26:58.of eight or nine Celsius, once you factor in the brisk westerly breeze,

:26:59. > :27:02.not going to feel very warm. If you think Saturday is bad, the main

:27:03. > :27:07.event is on its way for Sunday. The huge band of rain works in from the

:27:08. > :27:11.Atlantic, that will stick with us for a time. We could see an inch or

:27:12. > :27:16.two of rain on Sunday, maybe some localised flooding, that rain is

:27:17. > :27:21.falling on saturated ground, and you will notice it could be falling as

:27:22. > :27:27.snow on high ground. A bit of a miserable weekend.

:27:28. > :27:40.Really glad I'm going on a walking weekend in Derbyshire! Perfect! Get

:27:41. > :27:45.your waterproofs and wellies! It's going to rain! Have a lovely

:27:46. > :27:47.weekend.
