Highest temperatures will be from 3C to 6C (37F to 43F).

The Cumbrian owners of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross that mauled a child have been given suspended jail terms.

At Carlisle Crown Court Ryan Baker, 24, and his 23-year-old fiancé Kelsey Forster admitted having a dog dangerously out of control, which caused injury at a family gathering in Gateshead last December.

The boy was left traumatised and permanently scarred, and the court heard that although the couple had experienced no problems with the dog, they knew it had bitten a toddler and other dogs while with previous owners.

Baker and Forster, from Speckled Wood Drive in Carlisle, were both given a 20-month prison sentence suspended for a year and ordered to pay compensation and costs.

If Mr Johnson is to win an overall majority, he is likely to have to win a significant number of marginal seats from Labour.

Of Labour's 50 most marginal seats, as many as 39 voted in favour of Leave in the 2016 referendum. In 16, more than 60% voted Leave.

These leave-inclined marginals - in north-east Wales, the Midlands and the north of England - are said to form Labour's "red wall".

They are seats in which Labour came only narrowly ahead of the Conservatives in the 2017 election. Many, such as Bishop Auckland, Workington, and Wrexham, have traditionally been safe Labour seats. Indeed, some of them have never returned a Conservative in a post-war general election.

Local volunteers will have to be recruited to help decide how millions of pounds could best be spent to revive the centres of Millom and Cleator Moor, a council meeting has been told.

Copeland council has managed to get the two towns on the list for grants from a £1bn fund to improve transport, broadband and cultural attractions.

The authority has also been given a grant of £150,000 to develop a business case for what could be done with the two former mining towns.

At a meeting of Coipeland council's executive, councillor Steven Morgan said: “Using the money to hire people and consultants is one thing, but we also need to make sure that we get volunteers from the community to help us."

Copeland’s elected mayor Mike Starkie said that committees made of “influential people” from those towns likely to benefit would be invited to form committees.

Once the local plans have ben drawn up, they will be submitted to ministers next April.

The biggest new "steamer" to go into service on Windermere for more than 80 years is due to be launched today.

The multimillion-pound MV Swift - unlike the older larger vessels on the lake - will be "all weather" and able to call at even the smaller jetties around Windermere.

Like the other big vessels, Swan and Teal, the new Swift will have three passenger decks but can be enclosed allowing year-round operation, and was designed to increase capacity to encourage more people to leave their cars behind as they tour the area.

The Swift has been assembled at Lakeside and today is due to be lowered into the lake for the first time, to be fitted out before entering service next summer.

There was fresh snow on the highest summit when the assessors went out for the Weatherline report on felltop conditions, external, and while it was melting fast at that time, they expected it to freeze overnight, so full winter equipment will be necessary today.
