Hello, welcome. Tonight, in the eye of the storm, a

lucky escape for youngsters and nursery staff after a freak storm

:00:17.:00:21.

can be rebuilt, but I am so pleased that the staff and the children

were all safe. For sale or closure, over 500 jobs

:01:01.:01:08.

Up to eight young children are lucky to be alive after a freak

:01:08.:01:12.

wind storm ripped the roof off their nursery and blew the ceilings

:01:12.:01:16.

in, scattering debris over Copts and pushchairs. One baby had an

:01:16.:01:20.

escape after being plucked from a pram by a quick thinking member of

:01:20.:01:25.

staff and carried to safety. It happened in Whitehaven, where the

:01:25.:01:31.

owners praised workers for their commitment to the children.

:01:31.:01:35.

Judging by the devastation, children and staff have had a

:01:35.:01:39.

remarkable escape. The brief was ripped free and debris fell into

:01:39.:01:43.

the nursery, staff acted quickly to protect their young charges late

:01:43.:01:47.

yesterday afternoon. I could not believe nobody has been hurt or

:01:47.:01:52.

killed. My husband came home last night, he had photos on his mobile

:01:52.:01:57.

phone, but it was very dark, there were just bits of the street lights,

:01:57.:02:02.

but I could see the debris. When we pulled up this morning, I felt

:02:02.:02:09.

physically sick. I cannot stop shaking. The building can be

:02:09.:02:14.

rebuilt, but I am so pleased that the staff and children are all safe.

:02:14.:02:19.

Eyewitnesses said they had never seen anything like it. This man was

:02:19.:02:24.

won who rushed to help staff and children. We will working away,

:02:24.:02:30.

this massive gust of wind came and shook our doors. The rain started

:02:30.:02:35.

picking up, the pebbles, and we heard a massive crash, car alarms

:02:35.:02:40.

were going off. One of the workers came out of the nursery, she was

:02:40.:02:48.

screaming for help. We gave her a hand. The brief was on top of the

:02:48.:02:56.

car-park. It was horrific. It is incredible, there is a huge gaping

:02:56.:02:59.

hole in the roof, and debris all over the floor. They illustrate how

:02:59.:03:04.

to refine this must have been. A baby was taken from a pram just

:03:04.:03:08.

before this happened and taken to safety. Several moments more,

:03:08.:03:13.

things could have been so much worse. The owners hope to find

:03:13.:03:17.

temporary premises while repairs are carried out, but they are

:03:17.:03:27.
:03:27.:03:29.

thankful the children were so Was this freakish weather? It was

:03:29.:03:32.

some of the strongest when we have seen so far this autumn, this

:03:32.:03:37.

happens once or twice in a season. Whitehaven is one of the most

:03:37.:03:43.

exposed spots. You can have a look at the radar, this was the scene

:03:43.:03:49.

last night. The storm blew in the heavy wind from the Atlantic, low

pressure driving Gideon. -- driving it in. The lurid colours

:03:56.:04:03.

demonstrate the heaviest wind. Our weather station at St Bees Head

:04:03.:04:09.

recorded wind speeds of 70 miles an hour. Very strong indeed. The

:04:09.:04:15.

weather is, over the next few days, I am back in the forecast.

:04:16.:04:19.

It is one of the biggest employers in Northumberland, and it is facing

:04:19.:04:25.

closure. The owners of the Alcan smelter, which employs 500 people,

:04:25.:04:31.

have put it up for sale. Rio Tinto is selling 13 aluminium plants

:04:31.:04:34.

across the world, but it has not ruled out closure if there are no

:04:34.:04:44.
:04:44.:04:47.

It is not just the jobs at the smelter, there are 120 people that

:04:47.:04:53.

work at the power station. We are talking about 650 jobs in total.

:04:53.:04:59.

Rio Tinto, this huge mining company, it bought the aluminium business

:04:59.:05:02.

Alcan four years ago for $38 billion at the height of the market,

:05:02.:05:08.

but now it is looking to divest itself of 13 of these businesses.

:05:08.:05:13.

Sadly, including this one. We got a reaction from the local MP and also

:05:13.:05:19.

from the union earlier. It has been a prominent feature in

:05:19.:05:22.

the south-east Northumberland landscape for nearly 40 years. The

:05:22.:05:28.

aluminium smelter built by Alcan and sold to Rio Tinto could be

:05:28.:05:32.

running gag of time. Rio Tinto has put it up for sale, alongside a

:05:32.:05:37.

dozen other businesses worldwide. If no buyer is forthcoming, the

:05:37.:05:42.

plant will close. It is very difficult news 2 here, but it does

:05:42.:05:48.

not come as a huge surprise. Our stance is clear, we would like Rio

:05:48.:05:53.

Tinto to reconsider the position of the areas they are given to let go.

:05:53.:06:00.

If they cannot do that, we would like them to look for a buyer for

:06:00.:06:05.

this particular site. Alcan is costly, because smelting aluminium

:06:05.:06:09.

uses huge amounts of electricity. The smelter has its own power

:06:09.:06:13.

station next door, but curbs on carbon emissions mean a costly

:06:13.:06:18.

refit was inevitable. That would wipe out the �40 million annual

:06:18.:06:24.

profit. But some government assistance might yet be available.

:06:24.:06:29.

It is a premature announcement by Rio Tinto. The government have said

:06:29.:06:35.

they are coming forward with two potential financial packages for

:06:35.:06:39.

energy intensive industries, such as Alcan. The second will be before

:06:39.:06:44.

Christmas, and that is a package which will sustain employment in

:06:44.:06:48.

energy intensive industries. This financial help might encourage

:06:48.:06:52.

potential buyers to come forward before Rio Tinto pulls the plug on

:06:52.:06:59.

its UK aluminium business. With me is the corporate affairs

:07:00.:07:03.

director of Alcan. You have briefed staff, what have you been telling

:07:03.:07:09.

them? We have explained Rio Tinto's decision to streamline its business

:07:09.:07:14.

in order to concentrate on its top Tia assets. Unfortunately, we do

:07:14.:07:20.

not fall into that bracket, so we face closure or sale. It comes down

:07:20.:07:24.

to the fact, it is a high-cost industry that you are working in,

:07:24.:07:29.

it is not generating enough profit? It is high-cost already, we have

:07:29.:07:34.

very high costs for energy, and we face mounting costs of

:07:34.:07:38.

environmental legislation. That is placing a pressure on the business.

:07:38.:07:43.

How can you address the energy bills? We have looked at

:07:43.:07:46.

alternative sources of energy supply, we have an existing coal-

:07:46.:07:51.

fired power station, we have looked at alternatives, but they are too

:07:51.:07:56.

expensive to run in the UK now. there any sign of a buyer? There is

:07:56.:08:00.

a potential buyer for the power station, we hope that will conclude

:08:00.:08:10.
:08:10.:08:13.

with a successful sale, but there The amount of electricity used to

:08:14.:08:17.

make one tons of aluminium is the amount used by a family home over

:08:17.:08:21.

20 years. It is those bills that are stacking up against Alcan

:08:21.:08:27.

tonight. There has been more bad economic

:08:27.:08:32.

news, it up to 119 jobs will go at a bakery in Gateshead. Allied

:08:32.:08:37.

Bakeries plans to stop production in February. Bread has been baked

:08:37.:08:43.

on site for 75 years. The company says it will retain the 150

:08:43.:08:48.

employees on the distribution side, but it cannot afford to invest in

:08:48.:08:51.

the bread making operation, because of falling sales.

:08:51.:08:56.

The bread market is declining year on year, there is a lot of capacity

:08:56.:09:02.

within the marketplace, so it in a declining market with excess

:09:02.:09:06.

capacity, it is extremely tough for all manufacturers at the moment.

:09:06.:09:12.

The maul -- mood at this time, they are upset, but hopefully we can get

:09:12.:09:17.

jobs for most of these people. That is my job over the next few weeks,

:09:17.:09:21.

to work with the company to try to get more jobs kept within the

:09:21.:09:30.

company, but also try to find work for them.

:09:30.:09:38.

The police are hunting a rapist who not out a man. -- knocked out a man

:09:38.:09:44.

the victim was walking with. It happened in Whitley Bay. The police

:09:44.:09:50.

say it is unusual for a woman to be wrecked by a stranger.

:09:50.:09:54.

It is in this back claim that the woman was raped. She was walking

:09:54.:09:58.

with a male friend after a night out. They were heading for a taxi

:09:58.:10:02.

rank when they were approached by a man who began talking to them.

:10:02.:10:06.

After they turned into the real name of Esplanade Place, the

:10:06.:10:10.

stranger turned violent as they passed behind the Zynk Bar. The

:10:10.:10:16.

rapist knocked out the man, and the woman was attacked. It is a serious

:10:16.:10:25.

crime. Unusual. The victim was restored -- distraught, as you can

:10:25.:10:30.

imagine, as was the Mail. We are appealing for anybody in the area

:10:30.:10:35.

at that time, between 3am and 4am on Sunday morning, to try to get in

:10:35.:10:40.

touch with us. After the attack, the rapist fled in the direction of

:10:40.:10:45.

the promenade. The suspect is in his late 20s, about 5 ft 9 inches

:10:45.:10:55.
:10:55.:11:01.

He spoke with a local accent. Tests have been carried out on the

:11:01.:11:04.

body of a murdered policewoman who is believed to be from York. The

body was found in woodland in West Sussex on Sunday night. It is

:12:17.:12:22.

River Tees. It will span 265 metres and, according to the county

:12:22.:12:26.

council, provide economic benefits. You would expect the locals to be

:12:26.:12:31.

in favour. Many probably are, but the people I spoke to today think

there are other problems that need addressing before a bridges built.

spent his money in better directions. Those include repairing

:12:58.:13:02.

the castle walls or finding a local bus service. The council does not

:13:02.:13:06.

agree. It says the bridge will bring its �1.5 million a year into

will become of their vehicles. Some owners have caravans which were

awaiting service and are now locked up in the company's secure

compounds. Others are buying new vans and are wondering what will

:13:57.:14:05.

happen to their deposits. Peter Lugg reports.

:14:05.:14:08.

Discover Leisure has six sites across the north-east but since

:14:08.:14:12.

Saturday all of them, including this one near Darlington, have been

:14:12.:14:18.

closed for business. 270 staff will wait to hear news of their jobs.

:14:18.:14:22.

Unfortunately, for Bishop Auckland couple John and Mary Robinson,

:14:22.:14:26.

their caravan had gone in for a service. It should have been ready

:14:26.:14:30.

spectacular installations by artists from around the world, as

:16:18.:16:21.

Damian O'Neil reports. This is what it looked like in 2009,

when Lumiere came to Durham for the first time. This particular display

will be happening again this time round, and once again it will be

20th of November. Durham's world famous

:17:53.:17:56.

environmentalist, Professor David Bellamy, has been lending his name

:17:56.:17:59.

to a campaign for home grown apples! He was at Washington Old

:17:59.:18:02.

Hall on Wearside as part of a push to try and stop the disappearance

:18:02.:18:12.
:18:12.:18:14.

of the English fruit. Adele And the English national treasure

:18:14.:18:24.
:18:24.:18:28.

And David Bellamy is a man who really loves his apples. I always

:18:28.:18:33.

eat my apple completely. I don't eat the stalk, but the rest I eat,

:18:33.:18:40.

including the pips. And that is why he is here, to save the British

:18:40.:18:45.

apple. Over the last 40 years, orchards in the UK have declined by

:18:45.:18:52.

95 %. It is a terrible thing, because the amount of creepy-

:18:52.:18:56.

crawlies and wonderful other things live alongside the apple trees.

:18:56.:19:00.

that is what the garden at Washington are going to see a lot

:19:00.:19:04.

more of. They have been given nearly �3,000 in funding to create

:19:04.:19:11.

a new orchard. Happy birthday, English apple! And on his mission

:19:11.:19:15.

to promote apples, David Bellamy has gathered a young following

:19:15.:19:20.

along the way. What are the sort of things he was saying to you? Things

:19:20.:19:28.

about how to save the world and about worms. The worms make a very

:19:28.:19:35.

stinky smell and then they scare away the blackbirds. Worms eat the

soil and turn it into the compost and then into the soil. I never

knew that. The 80s part of a tour of 15 English orchards to celebrate

You keep bringing them in. A it's been great. Transfer news first,

:20:18.:20:20.

and Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Nigerian

:20:20.:20:23.

international striker Bart Ogbeche. The 27 year-old has been given a

:20:23.:20:26.

contract until the end of the season. He'd been a free agent,

:20:26.:20:29.

since being released by the Greek club, Kavala. Tonight, Boro are at

:20:29.:20:36.

It all started with the very first game of the season. Boro, 2-1 up

:20:36.:20:39.

against Portsmouth, but pegged back right at the death. Next time out,

:20:39.:20:42.

at the Riverside, they beat Birmingham City, but since then

:20:42.:20:47.

it's been stalemate. They are still unbeaten on their own patch, but

:20:47.:20:51.

six home games have produced five draws and just that one win - a

:20:51.:20:55.

total of 8 points from a possible 18. Contrast that with their away

:20:55.:21:00.

form - four wins out of five, 13 points out of 15. That's what's

:21:00.:21:10.

kept them right up there with the leaders. Everybody seems to throw

:21:10.:21:13.

statistics at me at the moment but we have only lost one league game

:21:13.:21:17.

in 23, which is nearly half a season, so if we keep that trend

:21:17.:21:20.

Now, being sidelined through injury is one of the most frustrating

:21:52.:21:55.

aspects of being a professional sportsman. Unable to do what you

:21:55.:22:00.

love, and what you're paid for. But Dawn's been talking to three guys

:22:00.:22:03.

who're using their rehab time to help raise money for Sunderland

:22:03.:22:11.

Football Foundation's charity fashion show.

:22:11.:22:13.

Preparing for a night on the catwalk, Sunderland footballers

:22:13.:22:16.

Fraizer Campbell and David Meyler, and Wearside boxer Tony Jeffries -

:22:16.:22:19.

all old hands at this fashion show lark. I have done the event twice

:22:19.:22:24.

and it is good to meet up with the lads and try on the kit and have a

:22:24.:22:27.

swagger around. It is not something I would pick up if I walked into a

:22:27.:22:32.

shop, but it looks OK. You look a little bit like a country gentleman.

:22:32.:22:36.

I think that's what the lads weren't calling me outside.

:22:36.:22:38.

Although they're used to performing in front of thousands modelling

:22:38.:22:42.

clothes in front of a few hundred is a nerve wracking experience at

:22:42.:22:47.

least for some. When you're up there it is a different ball game.

:22:47.:22:57.

You were out of your comfort zone. It is crazy. You can get nervous.

:22:57.:23:02.

He does not get nervous, I'm not having that. He loves the attention.

:23:02.:23:04.

But its Fraizer's brother Ashford who's been getting all the

:23:04.:23:07.

attention lately, wowing the X- Factor audience in Nu-Vibe. Fraizer

:23:07.:23:11.

was there for the live show at the weekend only to see the boy band

:23:11.:23:18.

voted off. Of course I was disappointed, but I was proud to

:23:18.:23:24.

see my brother and support him. It was a special moment for me to see

:23:24.:23:28.

him on TV doing what he likes to do. But none of these guys have been

:23:28.:23:31.

able to do what they like to do. Fraizer and David have both

:23:31.:23:34.

suffered two cruciate knee ligament injuries and after his last fight,

:23:34.:23:39.

Tony had to have surgery on his hands. I had a hole in this knuckle

:23:39.:23:46.

and its air in the tendon. I had to do some rehab and now it is

:23:46.:23:50.

recovery. I have had injuries like this and I have been boxing 16

:23:51.:23:55.

years, and this is the longest I have been without hitting anyone.

:23:55.:23:58.

It gets a bit frustrating. Hopefully it will heal up better

:23:58.:24:02.

and be stronger and I'll be back and flying and winning titles next

:24:02.:24:07.

year. And it's that positive mental attitude they all rely on to get

:24:07.:24:11.

through the tough times. Little things felt like when the manager

:24:11.:24:15.

tells you are looking sharp. It is a long slog when you are injured.

:24:15.:24:20.

Especially when you have operations and complications, but you have to

:24:20.:24:24.

take your time and take little baby steps, because if you look at it as

:24:24.:24:29.

a big scale thing it can get you down. I'm a professional footballer

:24:29.:24:32.

in the Premier League, my brother has been on the X Factor, so I can

:24:32.:24:38.

only say I'm a happy person. If you see Tony Jefferies in the

:24:38.:24:41.

supermarket car-park, don't take his space, because he sounds a bit

:24:41.:24:51.

ready. Hannah, you gave us a hint Calder, I'm afraid, but let's take

:24:51.:24:55.

a look. A great picture to start us off. Dramatic scenes on the coast

:24:55.:24:59.

at Whitehaven. We saw the damage caused at the Nursery in land and

:24:59.:25:04.

he was the scene yesterday. This was on the coast in Cumbria and the

:25:04.:25:11.

strong winds blew up the waves. The winds get calmer, but it calls down

:25:11.:25:15.

during the weekend we are in for the first widespread frost.

:25:15.:25:19.

Overnight, clear spells for the North, one or two showers in the

:25:19.:25:23.

west and south, but by dawn most places are dry and it is chilly.

:25:23.:25:27.

One or two spots could get across tonight with temperatures as low as

:25:27.:25:31.

three Celsius and still fairly strong westerly winds. It will be a

:25:31.:25:36.

chilly day tomorrow. But a great day if you don't mind the cold and

:25:36.:25:40.

you are wrapped up warm, lots of sunshine and any showers will clear

:25:40.:25:44.

away and we are in for long spells of sunshine. Let's take a tour

:25:45.:25:49.

through Wednesday afternoon. Tea time, chilly, nine or 10 Celsius

:25:49.:25:53.

may be getting up to 11 for parts of the Vale of York, but generally

:25:53.:25:56.

the temperatures were a below average. Just seven Celsius, which

:25:57.:26:00.

will feel really chilly and really brisk north-westerly breeze is

:26:00.:26:03.

better not as strong as they were but enough to take the edge of the

:26:03.:26:07.

temperatures even more. Lots of sunshine for the northern lakes,

:26:07.:26:11.

but here as well the temperatures are low for October. Then clear

:26:11.:26:15.

skies overnight tomorrow and into Thursday which will give us the

:26:15.:26:18.

first widespread frost of the season across the north-east and

:26:18.:26:23.

Cumbria. The clear, starry skies overnight allowing temperatures to

:26:23.:26:28.

fall away, so we should get our de icing tools ready. We are likely to

:26:28.:26:32.

be scraping the windscreens in the morning the temperature slipping to

:26:32.:26:36.

freezing overnight. A frosty start, but a bright day to come. Just one

:26:36.:26:40.

or two patches of cloud on Thursday and it all turns a little bit

:26:40.:26:44.

wetter and windy again from the West on Friday. As ever, it is

:26:44.:26:47.

Cumbria getting the brunt of the rain and the north-east is likely

:26:47.:26:51.

to be cloudy and it stays dry up for longer. That sets the scene for

:26:51.:26:56.

an unsettled weekend with strong winds and showers, so tomorrow and

:26:56.:27:00.

Thursday looking like the best of the week. That is if you don't mind

:27:00.:27:03.

the cold or the slippery pavements were likely to have first thing on

:27:03.:27:10.

Thanks Hannah. Now for a final look at tonight's headlines: Soaring

:27:10.:27:13.

energy prices have driven inflation up to a three-year high. And a

:27:13.:27:17.

freak wind storm has ripped the roof off a nursery in West Cumbria

:27:17.:27:19.
