Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. In tonight's headlines:

:00:02.:00:05.

Art attack - the great and good descend on Tyneside for the

:00:05.:00:09.

prestigious Turner Prize. It is hoped it will bring millions into

:00:09.:00:13.

the region's economy. Electric shock. A nasty surprise

:00:13.:00:18.

for a farming couple from their energy company - a bill for �26,000.

:00:18.:00:22.

Home at last. A terminally ill grandmother, who was the victim of

:00:22.:00:27.

a hospital bed shortage, is moved closer to her loved ones.

:00:27.:00:30.

Getting set for the Olympics - but find out why hundreds of our

:00:30.:00:39.

schools could be missing out on free tickets. We do not want them

:00:39.:00:43.

to miss out on this! In sport, we're on the look-out for

:00:43.:00:45.

talented youngsters for our Sports Kids series - details of that,

:00:46.:00:47.

later. And after taking a while to find

:00:48.:00:50.

their rhythm this season, find out why Carlisle United are suddenly

:00:50.:01:00.
:01:00.:01:02.

Damien Hirst's bisected cow. Tracey Emin's ummade bed. There's nothing

:01:02.:01:05.

quite like the Turner Prize for sparking public debate on what is

:01:05.:01:10.

art. Nevertheless, it is one of the most prestigious events in the art

:01:10.:01:13.

world. And this year, it is being hosted by Baltic in Gateshead - the

:01:13.:01:16.

first time it's been held by an organisation other than the Tate

:01:16.:01:22.

Gallery. Well, it opens to the public tomorrow, but today, the

:01:22.:01:25.

artists have been showing off their work in a special preview. Our arts

:01:25.:01:28.

and entertainment reporter, Sharuna Sagar, is outside Baltic now. So,

:01:28.:01:38.
:01:38.:01:40.

Sharuna, what's it like? That would be telling ex-miner more on that in

:01:40.:01:44.

a moment, it is very interesting. There's a real buzz here at the

:01:44.:01:46.

Baltic this evening. Ordinarily, there's a huge appetite for

:01:46.:01:49.

contemporary art in the North East - the Baltic itself gets about half

:01:49.:01:52.

a million visitors a year - and that's without the added attraction

:01:52.:01:55.

of such household name like the Turner Prize, which will attract

:01:55.:02:04.

many more. Tonight, this is the place to be. More than a thousand

:02:04.:02:10.

invited guests are expected here for a preview. Earlier today, when

:02:10.:02:14.

things were a bit quieter, I got a chance to take a look.

:02:14.:02:17.

Not one of the shortlist, putting on their final touches, but a quick

:02:17.:02:23.

paint job by maintenance to complete the preparations. It has

:02:23.:02:26.

been a long time coming, but the Turner Prize is finally here at the

:02:26.:02:31.

Baltic. It has taken two years to turn a jury's decision into an

:02:31.:02:34.

exhibition. And as befits such a prestigious event, it is attracting

:02:35.:02:44.

lots of media interest. Us this is an incredibly exciting

:02:44.:02:48.

day. The Turner Prize is so prestigious, it is internationally

:02:48.:02:53.

we wound. It has a 27 year history and this is the first time it has

:02:53.:02:58.

been presented beyond the Tate Gallery, so for Baltic to be

:02:58.:03:01.

selected as the first place to organise it is astonishing, it is

:03:01.:03:03.

fantastic. What's more, irrespective of

:03:03.:03:06.

whether you actually appreciate this sort of art, it's not just the

:03:06.:03:09.

artist who wins - in this case, �25,000 and international prestige

:03:09.:03:17.

- but the local area. It is a very big deal. We have been

:03:17.:03:22.

on a journey of transformation and regeneration for a long time, and

:03:22.:03:28.

art has played a big part of that, and Baltic. I hope a lot of people

:03:28.:03:32.

will come to the region to benefit the local economy. They have

:03:32.:03:34.

already started arriving. Amongst them, the four nominees

:03:34.:03:44.
:03:44.:03:45.

themselves. Is really fantastic,, Baltic has a

:03:45.:03:51.

really great history. And that spirals out and has a ripple effect

:03:51.:03:57.

through the city, the area and the regions. And for fellow artist

:03:57.:04:00.

Hilary Lloyd, it is a return home. She is a Newcastle Poly graduate.

:04:00.:04:03.

As such, the setting has given the whole experience an added poignancy.

:04:03.:04:10.

It feels brilliant to be nominated. I was very excited it was in

:04:10.:04:14.

Newcastle because I love Newcastle, and I loved the bridges. And when I

:04:14.:04:21.

decided to come here to study, it was because of the bridges.

:04:21.:04:29.

feats of structural Engineering aside, we are here to see the

:04:29.:04:31.

offerings of the country's next great contemporary artist. Now,

:04:31.:04:35.

today, the great and the good got their chance to see the art, but

:04:35.:04:38.

tomorrow, the Great Public get to see it for the first time. Let the

:04:38.:04:47.

judging commence! And it is not easy to judge. We

:04:47.:04:52.

have a painter, at a sculptor, at a video maker and an installation

:04:52.:04:57.

artist all vying to be crowned there were not on 5th December. But

:04:57.:05:01.

back to now, and tomorrow, these doors will be open to the harshest

:05:01.:05:06.

critics of all, the general public. And I will be back here to find out

:05:06.:05:16.
:05:16.:05:16.

what they think of the Turner Prize A former and serving officer from

:05:16.:05:18.

Cleveland Police have been arrested, on suspicion of misusing public

:05:18.:05:22.

funds. Both men have been released on bail, and the serving officer

:05:22.:05:26.

has returned to duty after suspension. The arrests are not

:05:26.:05:28.

being linked to the ongoing investigation into alleged

:05:28.:05:38.
:05:38.:05:41.

corruption at Cleveland Police. The Newcastle United striker Nile

:05:41.:05:44.

Ranger has been charged with drink driving. The 20-year-old was

:05:44.:05:46.

arrested last month in an early- morning incident. He was granted

:05:46.:05:49.

bail until today. He has now been charged to appear before Newcastle

:05:49.:05:52.

Magistrates on November the 10th. Electricity bills are a shock for

:05:52.:05:56.

most of us these days, but imagine this. A couple from North Yorkshire

:05:56.:05:59.

who run a farm shop and cafe business were slapped with a bill

:05:59.:06:02.

for �26,000. Karl and Mandy Alvison, from Pickering, were stunned when

:06:02.:06:05.

npower said it was taking the sum out of their bank account.

:06:05.:06:15.

Charlotte Leeming reports. Col's family have farmed here at

:06:15.:06:19.

Pickering for generations, but the recession hit this industry

:06:19.:06:22.

particularly hard and so he had to think of new ways to help it

:06:22.:06:29.

survive. So in 2007, Karl and Mandy Alvison decided to diversify and

:06:29.:06:33.

opened this shop and cafe thinking it would make for far more viable.

:06:33.:06:39.

It actually led to a financial nightmare. That was caused after a

:06:39.:06:44.

new electricity meter was installed last year by energy provider npower.

:06:44.:06:51.

They had been paying about �600 a month for electricity, but that

:06:51.:06:55.

rose to �1,500. When he asked about the increase, npower said they had

:06:55.:07:01.

been under charging him for 3.5 years and, as a result, he owed

:07:01.:07:06.

them �26,000 which they would take out his account the following week.

:07:06.:07:11.

I rang npower immediately and spoke to a lady and said, this must be a

:07:11.:07:16.

joke, there is something wrong. And then we went into shock after that.

:07:16.:07:21.

There was nothing we could do apart from get a solicitor immediately

:07:21.:07:25.

and stop the proceedings of trying to work out what had happened and

:07:25.:07:31.

why. -- start at. We have worked hard for four years to build the

:07:31.:07:35.

business and should be concentrating on that. We have no

:07:35.:07:39.

concentration, no energy, it has been really difficult. I look

:07:39.:07:43.

forward to hearing from you after you have spoken to the Ombudsman.

:07:43.:07:49.

Back then the couple received a phone call from npower.

:07:49.:07:54.

customer service officer has now acknowledged my case for the first

:07:54.:07:58.

time, because of the television coming. She has never seen my case

:07:58.:08:08.
:08:08.:08:19.

previously. In a statement, the A dying Cumbrian grandmother who

:08:19.:08:22.

was stranded in a Newcastle hospital has finally been found a

:08:22.:08:25.

bed in her home town of Whitehaven. Carol Ritson has an inoperable

:08:25.:08:28.

brain tumour, with just weeks to live, and after treatment at the

:08:28.:08:37.

RVI, wanted to return home. Carol Ritson is dying and her final

:08:37.:08:41.

which was to come home after treatment in Newcastle. Tonight,

:08:41.:08:46.

she is, but her son says it has been a battle to get Terry hospital

:08:46.:08:50.

bed in her home town. It has been difficult but she is much happier

:08:50.:08:55.

she is home. But I am not satisfied with the way the hospital have

:08:55.:09:00.

dealt with it. I do not see how anybody could. I do not believe the

:09:00.:09:06.

people of West Cumbria are allowing this to happen to our main source

:09:06.:09:10.

of care, and before we know it, it would just be an elderly care home

:09:10.:09:15.

and no-one will have done anything about it. I think it is a disgrace.

:09:15.:09:19.

It is only a few hundred yards to the West Cumberland Hospital in

:09:19.:09:23.

Whitehaven from the home of Carol Ritson. Simon is delighted his

:09:23.:09:27.

mother would be coming home shortly, but he says if there is to be a

:09:27.:09:31.

lack of beds here, other families may end up as distraught as his

:09:31.:09:36.

have been. If they are not coping now, what will they be like? We

:09:36.:09:40.

only need head there so I can get the house ready for her to come

:09:40.:09:45.

home so she can be in her own place and die with dignity. The West

:09:45.:09:55.
:09:55.:10:13.

Glad it is resolved. The city of York has been celebrating the

:10:13.:10:20.

contribution French and then made during World War II. More than up

:10:20.:10:24.

2,000 and flying planes like this launch bombing raids from the area.

:10:24.:10:29.

Today, at a war memorial was unveiled in that on at York Minster.

:10:29.:10:35.

Out of the stunning blue they came, one of York's most spectacular

:10:35.:10:38.

flight passing years. The French and British aircraft were paying

:10:38.:10:43.

tribute to the French and then stationed here during the war. They

:10:43.:10:47.

left 66 years ago today, having risked their lives flying bombing

:10:47.:10:52.

missions to occupied France. Around half were killed. In York Minster

:10:52.:11:01.

today, they were remembered, in English and in French. A memorial

:11:01.:11:06.

stone to the 216 French men who died was given to the Minster and a

:11:06.:11:09.

book of remembrance recording the names of the dead was carried out

:11:09.:11:15.

to waiting veterans, all in their eighties and nineties. To have this

:11:15.:11:20.

memorial in the cathedral is there forever now. So they are at peace

:11:20.:11:30.

now. How have they been tears? Some! -- have there been any tears.

:11:30.:11:35.

Some of very hard men, but they can cry if they want. And out in the

:11:35.:11:40.

sunshine, the five French veterans who have travelled to York gathered

:11:40.:11:44.

with their Ambassador and a cheese to watch 16 aircraft fly overhead,

:11:44.:11:51.

while hundreds of servicemen and women watched in tribute to --

:11:51.:11:54.

Ambassador and air Chiefs. And I think it is fantastic to see France

:11:54.:12:00.

and Britain working together and remembering together what happened

:12:00.:12:04.

in the Second World War. It was really important it was celebrated

:12:04.:12:09.

here today, and it was lovely to see so many French people together

:12:09.:12:14.

with English people. It was a day when two countries came together in

:12:14.:12:21.

York to remember a shared past and celebrate the United future.

:12:21.:12:25.

A memorable day. They call it the Oscars of the demolition world. And

:12:25.:12:28.

while their work could never be called glamorous, a firm from our

:12:28.:12:32.

region is in the running for a major award - for their work in

:12:32.:12:33.

knocking things down. Peter Harris reports.

:12:33.:12:38.

These are big boys' toys. But the work is serious. They work by night

:12:38.:12:48.
:12:48.:12:54.

and they work fast. And we are given 16 and was out of an 18 a

:12:55.:12:59.

road closure through the night on a Saturday to take the bridge, the

:12:59.:13:05.

main part of the bridge down, and remove it and get the road safe to

:13:05.:13:09.

reopen again with the crash barriers erected again and the road

:13:09.:13:13.

swept. So good are they are at knocking

:13:13.:13:15.

things down, they're off to the World Demolition Awards. Yes, they

:13:15.:13:21.

really do exist. To describe it as the Oscars,

:13:21.:13:25.

presumably you are not making an awful speech if you win the World

:13:25.:13:30.

Demolition Awards? I do not think how will make a dreadful find his

:13:30.:13:34.

speech. It will just be thank you to my eyesight team who have got us

:13:34.:13:43.

where we are. Plenty more to come, including how the North's school

:13:43.:13:48.

children can be missing out on free tickets to the Olympics. And In

:13:48.:13:52.

Grundy's North - John takes a tour of the North's reservoirs.

:13:52.:13:57.

And rain is on the way for parts of the north-east and Cumbria, at I

:13:57.:14:06.

will be back with the details. We all know how hard it is to get

:14:06.:14:09.

your hands on tickets to the London 2012 Olympics, but schools can win

:14:09.:14:13.

some of the 50,000 free tickets up for grabs if they sign up to the

:14:13.:14:15.

official Olympic education programme "Get Set." Hundreds of

:14:15.:14:19.

schools in our region are missing out though - with only about one in

:14:19.:14:21.

eight having signed up. Stephanie Lloyd has been to a Newcastle

:14:21.:14:28.

school that is getting set for the games.

:14:28.:14:33.

Thing you football team admire their kicked, at a reward for

:14:33.:14:36.

supporting the London Olympics -- the new football team. St George's

:14:36.:14:40.

Primary school has signed up to the Olympic education programme.

:14:40.:14:45.

they are getting a lot out of it, working together as a team, as a

:14:45.:14:54.

family. I learnt about the Olympics, about friendship, courage, respect,

:14:54.:14:59.

at and, like, it is not winning that counts but just taking part.

:14:59.:15:06.

We have now started a football team and it is just great! A colleague

:15:06.:15:11.

said to me last year that it is very much a London's games and in

:15:11.:15:15.

the north, we are not getting the benefit. And as his school, we felt

:15:15.:15:19.

strongly we wanted it to be away games and we should get involved --

:15:19.:15:24.

and as a school. It is not just London's. But hundreds of schools

:15:24.:15:28.

in the region could be missing out on free tickets to the games

:15:28.:15:33.

because they have not become full members. In the north-east, 67% of

:15:33.:15:38.

schools have registered but only 17% have followed through and

:15:38.:15:42.

applied. In Cumbria, 50% have registered but only 9% have signed

:15:42.:15:50.

up. This load take up compares to London schools where 50% are part

:15:50.:15:55.

of the scheme -- this lower take-up. The children may be able to take

:15:55.:15:59.

part in events nearby, it is chances they would not get if we

:15:59.:16:04.

are not part of this network. well as free tickets, pupils will

:16:04.:16:10.

be eligible to be a torch bearers. But time is running out, the

:16:10.:16:14.

deadline is December 16th. It is about making sure the Olympics is

:16:14.:16:19.

not just about London and corporate people going to be games, it is to

:16:19.:16:23.

make sure the whole of Britain, particularly the young, get a

:16:23.:16:27.

chance to be involved and understand the Olympic ideals.

:16:27.:16:33.

their run-out 281 days to go until the Olympic days. -- there are now.

:16:33.:16:37.

These children may live miles from the action, but they are determined

:16:37.:16:40.

to be part of it. And, as Steph said, the deadline

:16:40.:16:43.

for signing up to the official education programme, "Get Set," is

:16:43.:16:50.

December 16th. December 16th! You can find out more online.

:16:50.:16:52.

Britain's best-selling cookery writer, Delia Smith CBE, is

:16:52.:16:55.

becoming a patron of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. Delia, who is

:16:55.:16:58.

also a joint majority share holder in Norwich City Football Club, will

:16:58.:17:00.

attend Sir Bobby's Breakthrough Auction and Ball in Newcastle

:17:00.:17:10.
:17:10.:17:14.

tonight. Good to have her on board! Indeed.

:17:14.:17:18.

You are not starting with Newcastle? Not today, Alan Pardew

:17:18.:17:23.

is in the studio, at back to that in a minute. Back in March, they

:17:23.:17:29.

won a Wembley Cup Final. Seven months on, they're targeting a

:17:29.:17:32.

promotion play-off place. And the next two matches will be a

:17:32.:17:34.

barometer of Carlisle's prospects. Away at the leaders Charlton on

:17:34.:17:37.

Saturday, followed by a home clash with third-placed Sheffield

:17:37.:17:38.

Wednesday three days later. Mark Tulip reports.

:17:38.:17:41.

Now part of every football league club manager's job these days is to

:17:41.:17:46.

be a good networker because you never know who you will bump into.

:17:46.:17:51.

Take Carlisle boss Greg about hobnobbing with Roberto Mancini,

:17:51.:17:56.

manager of Manchester City, had a northern sports writer's event. Any

:17:56.:18:03.

deals? We asked about Tevez etc, I just learned what door is in

:18:03.:18:09.

Italian! That was Italian! The evening is invaluable to talk about

:18:09.:18:12.

the plight -- to talk about players and talk to these people, they find

:18:12.:18:16.

out what you are like as an individual and get more trust about

:18:16.:18:20.

whether to send people to you, so that was the key to mix with

:18:20.:18:25.

everybody and if we do get a chance to get any players, we know what

:18:25.:18:31.

type of people we are dealing with, which is excellent. Alone factor

:18:31.:18:35.

could be a key element as Carlisle looked a punch above their weight

:18:35.:18:40.

against the League's big spenders. I dare not say it but we are

:18:40.:18:44.

seeming to find consistency, but I do not want to say it too loud

:18:44.:18:47.

click because football kicks you in the teeth when you think you have

:18:47.:18:57.
:18:57.:18:57.

cracked it. What a morale-booster it could be if they win this

:18:57.:19:03.

weekend. If we do well against this team, we can now really believe in

:19:03.:19:07.

ourselves because we know we have the quality and capacity of the

:19:07.:19:12.

greatest team. It is a real test for the team. We need this game for

:19:12.:19:17.

the future. Newcastle United manager Alan

:19:17.:19:21.

Pardew is live on BBC Newcastle's Total Sport programme tonight.

:19:22.:19:26.

He'll be taking fans' questions until 7:30. And with the Magpies

:19:26.:19:29.

4th in the Premier League and still unbeaten, there'll be plenty to

:19:29.:19:30.

talk about. Meanwhile, at this afternoon's

:19:31.:19:33.

press conference, the United boss said defender Danny Simpson does

:19:33.:19:38.

have a future at St James' Park. This follows the player's comments

:19:38.:19:40.

in court yesterday, when he told magistrates he expected to be

:19:40.:19:44.

transferred, and so needed a car to visit potential new clubs, after he

:19:44.:19:46.

admitted a speeding charge but claimed "exceptional hardship,"

:19:46.:19:48.

explaining his premature baby daughter's ill-health meant regular

:19:48.:19:58.
:19:58.:20:02.

dashes to hospital. I think he had some bad advice and

:20:02.:20:08.

unfortunately at the moment, because of his child, he is in a

:20:08.:20:12.

stressful situation. His wife and the baby have had a real battle and

:20:12.:20:16.

it looks like they have come through the other side of that,

:20:16.:20:20.

which is great news. The baby is doing great. And even though he

:20:20.:20:25.

feels a little bit let down in himself really, it was nice that he

:20:25.:20:30.

has got his home life getting back on an even keel and he has been a

:20:30.:20:35.

great player for us. And he will be going forward as well. He wants a

:20:35.:20:38.

new contract and if he keeps playing like he is, there is a good

:20:38.:20:42.

chance he will get one. More from Alan Pardew on the late

news. Now, if you have a sports-mad child

:20:46.:20:50.

in the family, you might like to know that, once again, we're on the

:20:50.:20:52.

look-out for youngsters for this year's Sports Kids series. Last

:20:52.:20:54.

year, we featured 11-year-old mountain biker Jack, from

:20:54.:20:57.

Guisborough, who's hoping to be World Champion one day. And we also

:20:57.:21:00.

met a couple of karate experts, Anna and Ester from Haltwhistle -

:21:00.:21:03.

just eight and nine years old respectively, and already black

:21:03.:21:08.

belts. So if you know a youngster with a passion and a talent for a

:21:08.:21:12.

particular sport, why not drop us a line at Sports Kids, BBC Look North,

Thank you. Now, most of us don't spend too

:21:26.:21:31.

much time wondering where our water comes from. In this country, it's

:21:31.:21:35.

on tap, isn't it? But John Grundy has just had some major plumbing

:21:35.:21:38.

done, and being an inquiring kind of man, he began to ponder just how

:21:38.:21:41.

his bath gets filled. So for this week's Grundy's North, he presents

:21:41.:21:44.

his Brief History of Plumbing. Do we really want to know about his

:21:44.:21:54.
:21:54.:22:08.

waterworks?! This is my new bath. At last! It works. I have always

:22:08.:22:15.

been fascinated by the weight water gets to our taps. It seems a

:22:15.:22:20.

miracle of our civilisation. Originally, people will go down to

:22:20.:22:25.

the nearest stream for water and carry it home, which was all right

:22:25.:22:30.

while streams were still clean up. But then people looked for other

:22:30.:22:38.

signs of water. We searched for it underground. As time went on,

:22:38.:22:43.

sometimes wealthy and charitable people provided it white --

:22:43.:22:47.

provided fountains and piped water. By the early 19th century, all

:22:47.:22:52.

towns and villages have them. But then people started to have bigger

:22:52.:22:57.

ideas about how to get clean water to its. The Newcastle and Gateshead

:22:57.:23:04.

Water Company was founded in 1846 and they constructed these, the

:23:04.:23:09.

reservoirs, about 12 miles west of Newcastle. It was one of the first

:23:10.:23:14.

really big and successful water schemes in the country. But as

:23:14.:23:21.

towns grew, a lot more water was needed. This is another reservoir

:23:21.:23:25.

right near the Scottish border, which began in 1894 to begin each -

:23:25.:23:30.

- to bring even more water to Tyneside. It is all such wonderful

:23:30.:23:35.

Engineering, but this is my favourite bit. This is where they

:23:35.:23:39.

allowed the river, the river Reid, to flow out through the bottom of

:23:39.:23:45.

the damage. It is so romantic and powerful, atmospheric, the sort of

:23:45.:23:50.

thing nuns might have built. It was Victorians who created this

:23:50.:23:54.

wonderful Engineering. But even the Victorians have been put in the

:23:54.:24:01.

shade by the stuff the 20th century water engineers produced. The Grand

:24:01.:24:06.

daddy of reservoirs designed this place to keep the north-east in

:24:06.:24:11.

water forever. It does not provide water all the time and is kept here

:24:11.:24:19.

until it is needed, it when it is released and falls down. Until it

:24:19.:24:24.

reaches here. This is Northumbrian Water's pumping station, just west

:24:24.:24:30.

of Newcastle. When the water is needed, it is released and taken

:24:30.:24:40.
:24:40.:24:41.

out here. And then it can be pumped by these gigantic engines to

:24:41.:24:48.

wherever it has to go up, but a long this County Durham water

:24:48.:24:54.

system. Or, if necessary, on the 21 mile tunnel as far as Teesside. Or

two-minute Bath, which I am now going to run and enjoy! -- to my

new Bath. Do not let us disturb you, but do not take the camera! Quickly

the weather now! A better forecast, no frost

:25:14.:25:24.
:25:24.:25:29.

A gorgeous weather pictures. The sun is shining. Nowhere near as

:25:29.:25:34.

cold tomorrow. We were down to minus two first thing tomorrow, but

:25:34.:25:38.

not tomorrow because a blanket of cloud and rain, particularly for

:25:38.:25:42.

the West but also to the east. For the Northern hills, the North

:25:42.:25:46.

Pennines come at a wet night. Getting a real soaking. But

:25:46.:25:51.

temperatures much higher than yesterday, 7, 8 Celsius to start

:25:51.:25:56.

Friday morning. Strong breezes and rain in the West. And for the

:25:56.:26:01.

Northern hills for a time. But sunshine into the afternoon for

:26:01.:26:07.

much of the north-east, and the rain will dry out in the West. 14

:26:07.:26:11.

Celsius is the top temperature, quite a strong breeze, but still

:26:11.:26:18.

feeling a lot milder than we have had. West, a bit more cloudy.

:26:18.:26:24.

Patchy outbreaks of light rainfall stop some brighter spells over the

:26:24.:26:29.

lakes. Temperatures around about 14, average for late October. Over the

:26:29.:26:34.

next couple of days, brighter skies to come, always in the north-east.

:26:34.:26:40.

Sunshine on Saturday, Teesside, Wearside and Tyneside, but in the

:26:40.:26:45.

West, a bit cloudier. And on Sunday, another weather system from the

:26:45.:26:49.

West will bring heavy rain for a time, but try in the north-east. If

:26:49.:26:53.

you have been out and about with your camera, send us your weather

:26:53.:27:03.
:27:03.:27:05.

And I have just seen the proofs of the 2012 for the calendar, we will

:27:05.:27:09.

give you the details of how you can send off for yours in aid of

:27:09.:27:13.

Children in Need. Excellent. Now for a last look at

:27:13.:27:15.

tonight's headlines. There have been celebrations in Libya, after

:27:15.:27:18.

Colonel Gaddafi was shot dead, and graphic images of his body have

:27:18.:27:21.

been broadcast around the world. And Gateshead's Baltic Art Gallery

:27:21.:27:24.

is about to open its doors to the public for the Turner Prize, one of
