Welcome to Thursday's Look North. In tonight's headlines. A lucky | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
escape for pupils when THIS happened on the bus journey to | :00:06. | :00:15. | |
school. Eyes saw it and I thought my house are blown up. It was a | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
shock. When I saw that are so it was a bigger shock. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Teachers walk out over a row to turn one of the country's largest | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
schools into an academy. Beating the blues. A new drugs | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
trial could help people in the North struggling with depression. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
And rare footage from the glory days of the Tyne-built cruise ships. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
In sport, we take one of our best- known ex-footballers back to one of | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
his famous old grounds. So why does David Hodgson look like he's just | :00:42. | :00:52. | |

A bus-load of teenagers on their way to school had a remarkable | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
escape when their double decker bus hit a low bridge - shearing the | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
roof clean off. 11 pupils and the driver were taken to hospital after | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
this morning's crash in Darlington. Fortunately none were seriously | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
injured. Emergency services say it could have been so much worse. Mary | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Askew joins us live from outside the pupils' school, the Queen | :01:20. | :01:30. | |

Elizabeth Sixth Form College. Having seen the wreckage of the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
past this morning and the metal and glass strewn across the road it is | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
easy to understand why members of the emergency services and the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
staff at the college are talking about the people's having a | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
miraculous escape. That does seem to best sum up what happened here | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
today. Everyone of the 50 children on board this bus was able to walk | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
off. 12 were taken to hospital with minor injuries. The most serious, a | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
suspected fractured collarbone. Looking at the wreckage it is | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
difficult to understand how so many children escaped without injury. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
That area on the bridge is solid steel and it sliced through the | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
carbon fibre of the top deck of the bus. 11 were taken to hospital with | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
minor injuries. The most serious casualty was a 17 year old who | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
fractured her collarbone and cut her head. She spoke to the BBC. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
did not realise at all that it was a double Decker bus and sped for it | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
and a few people were saying we are not going to fit under but Jo King, | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
expecting him to stop. He did not stop and the next thing I knew the | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
route was coming into the bus. these to be a proper investigation | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
from the proper authorities but I am surprised the bus was on the | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
road it was on. It is not the normal route. Clearly a buzz of | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
that height should not have been attempting to pass under that | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
bridge. This could have been a tragic accident here today. I'm | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
really pleased that only 11 children have gone to hospital with | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
minor injuries. The rest of the children have gone off to school | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
and we will be liaising with the school to make sure that they are | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
supported. Every single individual there was on the bars has literally | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
walked away from the scene, although some have been taken to | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
hospital. They are incredibly relieved because if you have a look | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
at the scene it is quite remarkable that so many students had been | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
involved and yet had not sustained serious injury. Neighbours were on | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
the scene moments after the crash. I was walking back from school and | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
I saw the man for my house had blown up. It was a shock but when I | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
saw the bus it was a bigger shock. Within 90 minutes of the accident | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
happening, the road was cleared and some of the children were even back | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
at their desks. The police were left pondering just what could have | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
been. The children and the bus driver | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
have now been released from hospital. In interviews with the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
police, the children have said that those people sitting at the top | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
front of the past salt the bridge coming and actually shouted duck. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Fortunately everybody on the top deck did just that and that is why | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
nobody was more seriously injured. As to why the crash happened in the | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
first place, the bus company are carrying out their own | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
investigation which will run alongside that of the police. The | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
families evacuated from their homes in Newcastle's West End after | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
yesterday's suspected gas explosion have been told they can't go back | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
to the properties. Newcastle City Council has cordoned off six | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Tyneside flats in Sceptre Road in Elswick after a blast ripped the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
roof off one of the properties. All the families have been given | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
alternative accommodation. A 38- year-old man was taken to hospital. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
His condition is critical but stable. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
One of the country's largest and most successful schools has been | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
heavily disrupted by strike action today. Some teachers at Newcastle's | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Kenton School walked out over plans to turn it into an academy. They | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
fear that could lead to lower pay and longer hours. But the school | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
says that's nonsense. Richard Moss reports. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Out of the classroom, and on the picket line. Teachers are striking | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
because Kenton School plans to leave council control to become an | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
:05:43. | :05:44. | ||
academy. Unions say their members' working conditions would suffer. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Kenton School is an outstanding school. We believe it is not broken, | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
why fix it? The staff are committed to taking the school further and | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
higher but what they do not want is the governors to reward them with a | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
threat to the longer term stability and security of their terms and | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
conditions. And there is some support from the community. Local | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
councillor Margaret Carter has resigned from the board of | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
governors after 20 years. It has been very painful to make his | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
decision to leave the school and I do hope they will have a rethink. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
But the head insists academy status would help the school. And he says | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
strikers are being misled by their unions. We gave them absolute | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
insurance well before there was any question of industrial action to | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
our staff that we would not under any circumstances that pay and | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
conditions deteriorate or fall below national standards for any | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
member of staff, and that is an absolute guarantee. And around half | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
of staff did come in, allowing the school to stay open for Year 11s | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
and sixth formers. But more disruption lies ahead. Two more | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
days of action are planned next week and with these people | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
implacably opposed to the idea of academies, other schools may face | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
action in the future. The body of a North East soldier | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
who was killed in Afghanistan was flown home this afternoon. Lance | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Corporal Jonathan McKinlay, from Darlington, was serving with the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
1st Battalion, The Rifles. He was 33. He died in a firefight in | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Helmand Province and his body was flown into RAF Brize Norton in | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Oxfordshire before the cortege passed through the nearby town of | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Carterton. The North East has the worst | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
recovery rate from depression in the country. But a new drug trial | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
at Newcastle University could dramatically improve people's | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
mental health. The drug being tested on 200 volunteers blocks the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
stress hormone cortisol and allows anti-depressants to work much more | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
effectively. Katrina Allcroft has struggled with | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
depression since she was 10. She's now 21, cannot work, and welcomes | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
the drug trial which could end her misery. Over the years it has | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
gradually got worse. I want to try and stop it now. I have just turned | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
21 someone to have a new change in life, I want to do something better | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
with myself. That is why when my doctor suggested this test I agree | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
to it. I read all the material on it and it does sound something | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
viable to myself. Depression is an illness which affects one in 12 of | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
us and it can strike without warning. There have been some | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
prominent sufferers, such as Winston Churchill. The television | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
presenter Stephen Fry and Bill waddy have both written about their | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
personal struggles with depression. We do know that anti-depressant | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
prescribing has increased in the north-east. It is a high as part of | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
the UK for prescribing and it is also an area where recovery seems | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
to be less good. So it is an important question for us because | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
depression is such a big public health issue. So, making anti- | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
depressants more effective will benefit our region more than | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
anywhere else. Campaigners have vowed to fight any | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
decision to sell off Rose Castle, the 13th century former home of the | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Bishop of Carlisle. Church Commissioners have been meeting in | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
London today to decide the stately home's future. But they say they | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
won't reveal their recommendations until the Board of Governors meets | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
next week. People fighting to save the castle say they'll oppose any | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
private sale. The family of a Darlington boy who | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
suffered a brain haemorrhage after an incident in a play park are | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
calling for a change in the law to force schools to take bullying more | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
seriously. "Kieran's Rule", named after 12-year-old Kieran Snee, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
would require teachers to log and record such incidents on a child's | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
report card. At the moment, Kieran's family say bullies just | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
think they can get away with it. Peter Lugg's been to meet them. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Just an ordinary lad kicking a ball around, but that in itself is an | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
achievement for 12-year-old Kieran Snee, who five months ago was | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
fighting for his life in a Teesside Hospital. Kieran had been injured | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
in a bullying incident at his local park, his head banged against the | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
metal frame of a ride called a witches cauldron. A 14-year-old | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
girl subsequently admitted causing grievous bodily harm. When Look | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
North first met him he'd just spent nine days in a coma caused by a | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:43. | ||
massive blood clot on the brain. How are you doing these days? | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
doing fine. The last time we saw DU had big stitches all over you. | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
have gone now. I had big tube in my nose as well to help me feet. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
has the recovery Kong since then? It has gone quite fine. I'm quite | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
disappointed about things I'm not allowed to do, like playing | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
football, heading the ball, and I'm not allowed to do contact sport. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
so concerned are the family about the distress Kieran has been | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
through that they do not want any other family to go through the same | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
thing. They launched a campaign to get the government to do something | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
about bullying nationally. If the parent goes into a school and says | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
their child has been bullied, it should be recorded. This is what we | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
are hoping to get, because I think if a child knows that if they | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
believe it is going to go on their record they will think twice about | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
doing it. Nearly 2,500 people have now signed up to the Kieran's Rule | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
petition, which the family are planning to take to Downing Street. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Well - there's plenty more to come in tonight's programme. Including | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
the Japanese woman who claims she's Wor Jackie's number one fan. Handle | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
with care - an unusual way of nursing a sick hedgehog. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
In the forecast, as the weekend approaches it looks like it is | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
going to warm up. A man's preparing to spend a third | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
night up a tree, to try to stop it being felled. Mark Snow says he has | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
no plans to climb down the hundred- year-old beech tree at Irton near | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Scarborough. Villagers have been turning out to show their backing | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
:12:36. | :12:51. | ||
for Mr Snow and say they'll continue to support him. | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
A hedgehog whose spikes were covered in hot tar - it's thought | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
deliberately - has been rescued in North Tyneside. Hedgehogs are now | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
an endangered species and could disappear in just 10 years. This | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
autumn, a woman who has turned her home into a hedgehog sanctuary is | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
urging people in our region to watch out for them as they tidy up | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
their gardens. Hannah Bayman reports, but we should say you | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
might find some of the images in her report upsetting. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Tinker the hedgehog has a hydrotherapy session at Moira | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
Simpson's Pricklepad Hedgehog Hospital. This gets the muscles | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
going and builds up her strength. Finally getting her strength back, | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
just five months ago Tinker was found horribly injured. The | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
juvenile hedgehog was caught on these CCTV pictures by a friend of | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Moira's staggering under the weight of a coating of tar, which it's | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
believed could only have been poured on her deliberately. You can | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
see the horrific infection that she had underneath. He started to curl | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
under the edges and it was like love that. Now her spines have | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
almost grown back, Tinker is having regular massages to restore her | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:11. | ||
damaged muscles. A whole idea is to get this muscle working again so | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
that she can bend properly and curl up to protect a winches back in the | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
:14:26. | :14:27. | ||
wild. We need every head chock that we can get back into the wild. -- | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
hedgehog. The skeletons go back been into of years and yet here we | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
are with the threat that they will be extinct within 10 years. Check | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
the area you're going to stream in the garden before you do it. They | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
are the friend of the garden. the spring, Tinker should be strong | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
enough to go back into the wild - one tale of survival against the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
decline of our native hedgehog. To follow her progress you can Google | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
Pricklepad Hedgehog Hospital. It was an era of glamour and luxury. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
But only the wealthiest and most privileged could afford to cruise | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
at the turn of the last century. Many of the great passenger liners | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
were built here in Tyneside shipyards. Which is why this | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Saturday visitors can take a step back in time and experience life on | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
board a cruise ship. Never before seen home videos from the 1930s and | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
1950s are being shown at an event at Segedunum. "Ocean Dreams" has | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
been organised as part of the BBC Reel History of Britain events | :15:31. | :15:40. | |
programme. Joanne Carter reports. It's Tuesday June 27th. 1961. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Launch day for The Northern Star. Hundreds are here to share her | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
special day. For the shipyard - a celebration. For the thousands of | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
men who built her - pride. A reminder that Newcastle | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:04. | ||
shipbuilding still rules the waves. I mean it this ship The Northern | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
Star. May God bless her and all who sail in her. This archive is just | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
one of the films being shown this Saturday at a special event called | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
Ocean Dreams at Segedunum. I am not from this area but I know I am | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
surrounded by many people who have fathers, grandfathers, uncles and | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
brothers, sisters as well, who work in the shipyards, and can remember | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
really well to launches, the fitting out and the pride of seeing | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
a new ship sailed down the Tyne. The real focus of the event is | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
about recreating the glory days of the passenger liners. What would | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
someone pack in their trunk and what was it like to be on board | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :17:02. | ||
during that glorious era before airline travel became king? Films | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
like this are very rarely seen. Mainly because they are amateur | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
film, people of quarter every middle-class and upper-class people. | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
It is reminiscent of an industry that Tyneside was world famous for. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
It is an opportunity to see colour pictures of a particular moment in | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
time. If you'd like to find out more about Ocean Dreams or other | :17:31. | :17:34. | |

bbc.co.uk/handsonhistory. Not many people in this part of the | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
world need telling about the legendary footballer Jackie Milburn, | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
and his exploits for Newcastle in the '40s and '50s. But it seems one | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
of his biggest fans is from the other side of the world. She's 27, | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
and from Japan. Today, she came to Jackie's home turf in | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Northumberland, to pay homage and to meet the great man's wife and | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
son. Gerry Jackson reports. Alnmouth Railway station - an | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
unlikely setting for a football fan's pilgrimage. But this is no | :18:08. | :18:18. | |
:18:18. | :18:20. | ||
ordinary pilgrimage - and no ordinary fan. The lady just to ride | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
on platform two has flown 10,000 miles to meet the Milburn family. | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
Yuki Furuichi has come all this way to see Laura, wife of the great | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
Jackie Milburn, his son Jack junior, and his wife, Julie. Yuki's a | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
devotee of all things football, but not today's. She's only interested | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
in the greats of an age long gone. We're in Longhirst, a few miles | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
from Jackie Milburn's Ashington birthplace. The family wants their | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
special guest to see this statue of the great man that used to stand | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
outside St James's Park.. Now in the garden of the sculptor who | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
created it. I think he is one of the greatest footballers in the | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
history of British football. Because I believe that the old | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
footballers were the real truth footballers. I really think that I | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
wanted to see him. But it is not just about memories of Jackie, who | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
died when she was only four. She wants to feel a connection to the | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
people who were closest to him. feel something mysterious because I | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
cannot believe she is the wife of that gentleman. Yes, he would have | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
made a fuss of her. He would have thought it was a lovely story, | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
which it is, when you think a young girl like that taking an interest. | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
He has been gone 24 years now and this interest still. I am stunned. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
The knowledge she has got his fantastic. Considering she only | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
started taking an interest in football last year, when the World | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
Cup was on, the knowledge is unbelievable. She knows more about | :20:10. | :20:19. | |
my father them what I do! remarked on how good-looking he was, | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
indeed have more like a Hollywood film star than a footballer. Proof, | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
perhaps, that we'll fame never dies. I think she is made up, isn't she? | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Jackie would have been amazed that someone would travel that far | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
across the world. We have another walk down memory lane tonight. | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
We've some amazing pictures of a famous old sports ground in just a | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
moment - but first, good news for one of the region's newest stadiums. | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
Durham have been awarded a number of top-class cricket matches. In | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
addition to the England/Australia One Day International next year, | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
and Ashes Test in 2013, which were already planned, the county will | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
now also host South Africa, India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand at its | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Chester le Street ground over the next five years. | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
Now, to the sad story of Feethams. It's eight years since Darlington | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Football Club said farewell to what had been its home for more than a | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
century. But this Sunday, one of the Quakers' most famous teams will | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
return to the cricket ground next door, for a charity match to raise | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
money for their former landlords. Some of the ex-players might be in | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
for a bit of a shock, though, as Mark Tulip explains. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Feethams - home to Darlington Cricket Club and, for 120 years | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
before the controversial move to a swanky new out of town stadium, the | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
football club too. Eight years after the club moved out - this. | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
The North Terrace, affectionately known as the Tin Shed, is all that | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
remains. The land that time forgot is set to re-developed for housing. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Quite a shock for this man, David Hodgson, the ex Middlesbrough, | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Sunderland and Liverpool footballer who managed the Quakers three times | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
:22:00. | :22:01. | ||
over a decade. Treatise bizarre that in the 1999 season, we were | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
stood here in the dug-out and there were 7000 fans in here. He would | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
have thought this stadium would be as it is, believing we were one | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
step away from promotion. Things might have been very different if | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
they had redeveloped. There was the opportunity for the club to get | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
together and take the step forward. George had his dream to build the | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
Arena, believing that the football club would go on through the leaks. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
On Sunday, Hodgson will be on the touchline managing many of the | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
famous 1999-2000 play-off team in a charity football match to raise | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
funds for their old cricket club neighbours. The last are miles with | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
this group of lads, we got beat! I hope it doesn't happen on Sunday. | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
It was the last game, I was in charge with some of these players. | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
These guys left after that. It was brilliant to see that people have | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
got their name down. Everybody is feeling the pinch, we don't get | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
people in the past like we used to, so it is difficult, but days like | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
this can take us on a lot further unsubstantiated as for next year. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
They came -- the gates open at 12 for the charity match, with kick- | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
off at 1:30pm. Staying with the history lessons, Middlesbrough | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
manager Tony Mowbray thinks his current side have "the spirit of | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
'86." The boss was captain of the Boro when the club nearly went to | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
the wall, 25 years ago. But, just like they did then - despite being | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
short of cash and short of players - the squad has pulled together, | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
and they're on course to make it back to the top. You can see | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
similarities back to the 1980s. We are a small group, a very young | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
team. The team bonded together and with the decrease in this was this | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
year, the group in the dressing room has got some strong | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
personalities they keep it very tight with the desire not to lose. | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
It has been a positive rather than a negative. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
We were talking about the glamour of the cruise ships earlier. Trade | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
has one of those hourglass dresses on! We will see what is the weather | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
:24:37. | :24:37. | ||
Today we had plenty of sunshine around the north-east coast. A | :24:37. | :24:46. | |
glorious start to the day. You know that the weather is good when | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
Seathwaite, it the wettest inhabited place in the UK, get some | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
good sunshine as well. As we head into the weekend, it does look like | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
we will stayed mostly dry around the region and we will see | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
temperatures warming up a little bit. Let us look at the | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
temperatures first of all. Today the hype was about 16 Celsius which | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
is about average. As we head into the weekend, look at the | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
temperatures rising, peaking at 20 Celsius in North Yorkshire. This | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
evening, and it is not so warm overnight but we should be mostly | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
dry. There will be one not to clear spells and a bit of drizzle around | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
the hills. Temperatures dropped to around ten Celsius. Tomorrow, we | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
bind up the week in good style. A little bit of drizzle around the | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
Northumberland coast in the morning but by the afternoon most of us | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
will be dry and many of us will see the bright, sunny spells. | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
Temperatures will be up a notch on today. 17-18 as we come into the | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
North East and around Whitby. For the weekend, on Saturday although | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
it looks like a cold front we will keep the temperatures on the Cup | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
and for Saturday there will be like winds from the south-west, bringing | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
the mild air. For Sunday, eventually after fine start, it | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
does eventually started pushing some rain. This weather front shows | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
the sting in the tail with some strong and gusty winds to end the | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
night on Sunday into Monday, along with quite a bit of heavy rain. So | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
a nasty end to what could be a fine weekend on the whole. So, a quick | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
recap for Cumbria. Mostly dry until we get to Sunday with temperatures | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
on the up. You will notice that the breeze starts to pick up later on | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
Sunday. For the north-east, you'll get the crustiest wins on Sunday | :27:03. | :27:13. | |
:27:13. | :27:13. | ||
night but before that a decent Now, at last look at the headlines. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Stock markets around the world have taken a hammering as the World Bank | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
