Welcome to Thursday's BBC Look North. Tonight Kong could this man | :00:06. | :00:15. | |
be the saviour of Darlington Football Club? -- tonight: Could | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
this man. It is not fair that we have to pay | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
the fare. Workers on the Tyne and Wear Metro demand free travel. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
And the magnificent seven - but how does it feel when a mother of four | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
is told she is having triplets? Terrifying, shocked. But happy, it | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
was like a blessing. You could take it as a curse, I think. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
And the best of British! With six months to the start of the Olympics, | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
we meet another of our 2012 hopefuls. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
And what about the man leading the revival of Hartlepool football | :00:53. | :01:03. | |

club? The roller-coaster ride to save | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Darlington Football Club took another dramatic twist today as | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
news emerged of a potential saviour for the club. He is Paul Wildes, a | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
35-year-old businessman based in Cheshire, who has offered to invest | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
up to �300,000. But the Quakers' future is still uncertain as talks | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
continue to try to thrash out a deal. The BBC has been given access | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
to top-level meetings as the clock ticks down to the deadline to reach | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
an agreement. Peter Harris has been following the latest developments | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
and joins us live. Peter. This could yet go down to the wire, | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
you know. This club was given a dramatic last-minute stay of | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
execution last week, but it is obvious tonight that the parties | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
concerned are still very much locked in talks. There are two | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
options: One is a group that wants to knock the stadium down, put | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
houses on the site and move the team to a smaller stadium. But | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
today all of the top has been about this businessman who has come | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
forward to is talking about retaining the stadium. That will | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
surprise some because many people think of the ground here as | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
something off of white elephants. He has been talking to the rescue | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
group. We would there to film those talks. He said he believes he can | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
make this stadium and asset rather than a liability. -- we were there. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
A week ago, this. He has no right to liquidate the club. We have the | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
money we need to keep the club going to the end of the month. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
last night the fans who want to rescue the club thought they had | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
that -- had a hint of a deal. At the centre, this venture capitalist | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
to believes he can make it work. Having the stadium as an asset | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
rather than a liability is a challenge that I think I have the | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
tools to be able to do. I also think I have the passion to make it | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
work. This was the deal. Mr Wildes puts in up to �300,000, the fans | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
another �200,000. They then get two seats on the board. The stadium | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
would then be leased from landlords for 13 years. The arena has been a | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
drain on resources. I quite like the sound of it. I have a worry | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
about the long-term view, in terms of keeping the stadium. I have to | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
say, for a Tarhuna size, are more intimate, ambient atmosphere is | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
probably the best way forward. have never seen the arena as part | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
of a sustainable club. But there is a motion in there as well. That is | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
my concern. Paul Wildes' plan apparently | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
involve concerts and a training academy, as well as the football, | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
to make money. But there is a covenant on the site which has | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
restricted development. Then there are the existing debts, including | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
those to former chairman Raj Singh. Mr Wildes says they held positive | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
talks, but if Mr Singh wants his money back, it is a major problem. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Mr Wildes said he hoped to be chairman by the weekend. But it is | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
clear there are still a lot -- there is still lots to be done. The | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
administrator wants a deal to be done within days. There is not much | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
time. So Paul Wildes very much still an option, but far from a | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
done deal. The other group who want to knock the ground down at have | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
been told they will have talks tomorrow. I wonder what the fans | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
make of this tonight. Earlier, we spoke to them. Earlier this morning, | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
somebody, they said, was putting their money into the club. It is | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
good for the club and they deserve it. They will never have 27,000 | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
fans fill that stadium. I think it is fantastic. Darlington needs to | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
keep the stadium, no matter what happens. I am all for it, as long | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
as Darlington Football Club is saved. That is all I want. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
thought it might be useful to tell you a bit more about Paul Wildes, | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
because he could yet be the saviour of Darlington Football Club. Few | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
people in our region will have heard much about him. He is not | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
from the serious. My colleague, Gerry Jackson, has been looking at | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
a man who has become very prominent and made a lot of money for himself | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
in a very short time. As far as the supporters' group is concerned, it | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
seems that Paul Wildes is already a figurehead. Whether or not he turns | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
out to be good white knight, he is certainly an ambitious businessman. | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
He is 35, born in Sheffield, where he began his financial career, he | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
now lives in Cheshire, close to other business interests. His wide | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
range of interests include property development, hotels, student | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
accommodation, restaurants, beauty salon its and hairdressers. His | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
company group includes the Wildes Hotel Group. He is said to have an | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
enviable track record in business turnarounds. It is said he wants to | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
develop a �400 million for -- portfolio of business within the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
next four years. A lot of Darlington's hopes seemed to rescue | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
it -- to rest on his financial cloud. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
I think we should end with what we started with - that this could yet | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
go down to the wire. Fans will be biting their nails. Someone pointed | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
out a few minutes ago that there is a game on Saturday against York | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
City or. They had a big turnout last week and are hoping for the | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
same again. If you would like to know more, the BBC's Inside ALT | :07:13. | :07:23. | |
:07:23. | :07:31. | ||
program have access to what has The driver of a double-decker bus | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
who missed four warning signs before crashing into a bridge has | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
been given a 12 week suspended sentence. 51-year-old Trevor Wilson | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
from Stockton said today he was very sorry for what had happened. | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
12 students were injured in the crash. Wilson admitted he had | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
relied on a passenger for directions. | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
:08:05. | :08:06. | ||
It was a shocking sight. Students described chaotic scenes as the | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
roof of the bus was shaved off. looked at other people, they had | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
blood coming down the side of their faces. People were shaking with | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
panic, some were screaming and crying. It was just complete chaos. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Trevor Wilson, the court heard, was an experienced driver but had never | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
driven that route before. He had also never driven a double-decker | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
bus for 15 years. Unsure of the route, he asked a student for | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
directions. About 200 yards from the bridge there is the first | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
warning sign. Then it was round this roundabout and a second sign | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
saying that there was a low bridge 600 yards away. Trevor Wilson drove | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
past a third warning sign. With the bridge clearly inside, a fourth and | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
final warning sign, but still he carried on before crashing into the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
bridge. Mr Wilson's solicitor said the crash has had a devastating | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
effect on his life. Anything you would like to say to | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
the youngsters involved? Just sorry for whatever happened. He is | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
genuinely devastated, as I said in court, about what happened. He | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
would love the opportunity to apologise in person to the children | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
and the parents and the school. He bitterly regrets what happened and | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
is just thankful that, luckily, everyone seems to have got away | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
without serious injury. Wilson was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
suspended for 12 months. A man who died after being struck | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
by a Metro train has been named as 45-year-old Matthew John Thornton | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
from Skipton in North Yorkshire. Police appealed for help in | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
identifying him after he died on January 13th, having apparently | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
stepped into the path of a train between Heworth and tier stations. | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
Police believe nobody else was involved in the incident. -- and | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
Felling stations. A man was trapped at Conmech by an | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
eight ton machine. It moved along a railway track and wedged the man | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
against another piece of equipment. He suffered severe injuries, | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
including multiple broken bones. Cleaners on the Tyne and Wear Metro | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
were demanding the right to travel free on the service. Their union | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
says that, while other Metro staff get travel passes, the cleaners | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
have to pay. They had a protest in Newcastle today and already have | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
the backing of five North East MPs. So far their employers and Metro | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
managers have refused to budge. Here is our political editor, | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
Richard Moss. The metal cleaners are used to an early starts a this | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
9EM protest was no hardship. They were picketing a meeting of the | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
transport authority that oversees the Metro, asking for free travel | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
on the network that they keep clean. Weekly Metro on a daily basis. We | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
do not give any travel facilities whatsoever, so we have to pay to go | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
to work on the Metro that we work on. I think it is all merely write | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
that cleaners, who earned the minimum wage, should be given free | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
travel on the Metro. We're saying to Nexus, the parent body, that the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
staff were really hard, they do a damn good job on your behalf, the | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
least you can do is give them a free travel pass for the Metro | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
system. The problem is that the Transport | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Authority say they do not have the power to give out these passes. | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Nexus say it is a matter that should be dealt with between the | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
cleaners and their employer. But the employer says it does not have | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
the power to give out free passes. At the moment, nobody seems to have | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
an answer. Next has would not talk to me or the cleaners today, but | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
the chairman of the transporter authority did come out to get this | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
earful. They are at Sunderland and Newcastle Central, they deserve | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
better than that is why they should get a free travel pass. He did see | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
merit in their cause. I am sure we can. That is why I am going to ask | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
the Director General to meet with them and try to come up with a | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
resolution. So some cause for hope but, for now, these cleaners will | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :13:00. | ||
still have to pay for their journey How mum of for reacted when she was | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
:13:10. | :13:17. | ||
told she was expecting again, this time with triplets. | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
If the second of our reports on the South Tyneside man who is | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
undergoing surgery that will help him to move his bionic arm using | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
only his mind. Our health reporter of reports now on the surgery and | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
:13:39. | :13:42. | ||
how this remarkable technology will work. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Corporal Andrew Garthwaite has come here to Vienna for pioneering | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
bionic surgery. With this man. Surgery that has only been | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
performed on a handful of people and a procedure the doctors here in | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Austria believe will mean he will be able to operate a bionic arm | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
through thought-control. They will move the nerves from my | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
stomach caveat over to my chest. I am nervous but I think the outcome | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
will be great. In Vienna, Andrew has been able to | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
meet with other patients - two patients chose to have severely | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
damaged hands removed and replaced with bionic hands. And one had the | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
same arm operation as Andrew six months ago and he is now learning | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
:14:28. | :14:32. | ||
to operate his arm with his mind. want to see what the differences | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
between they are my have now and what they have got, and how long it | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
took them to retrain their brains. It has been months in the planning | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
and has involved dozens of people across the UK and here in Vienna. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Today is the day that he will come here to the Medical University of | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
Vienna for that high union operation. It will take six hours | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
and will involve the complex rewiring of his nerves but the | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
doctors have never operated on anyone who their arm blown off in | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
battle and they were worried. most difficult part of the surgery | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
is to try to find the different nerves in this begs car that is | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
presented. The surgeons will need to isolate six Nurse in particular | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
that used to go to his hands and arms. These will be re-routed and | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
rewired to his chest and the nerve endings will grow. In future, he | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
will only have to think about moving his hand and the nerves and | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
his chest will send messages to his bionic arm. When there is tension | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
in his shoulder region, it will realise it in his hands and when I | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
:15:54. | :15:59. | ||
try to move my elbow or feel a twitch here,. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Bionic means re-routing the anatomy of a patient to make best use of an | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
electronic device. It is truly a bionic calm meaning man and machine | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
can communicate in the best way possible. Finally, the operation is | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
:16:24. | :16:25. | ||
over. It went extremely well and it was difficult and took about six | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
hours, so that we could transferred all the Mersey wanted to to the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
appropriate target. The surgery competed, Andrew will now work on | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
retraining his brain to operate his bionic arm and he can get on with | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
planning his life and his wedding in Northumberland. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
Definitely looking forward to it. The next step in my relationship | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
and it could be children next. Corporal Garth weight returns to | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
the North East in a few days' time but doctors will need to keep a | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
close eye on him and over the coming months and years, he will | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
get to know the end a pretty well. -- Vienna. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
A team of injured servicemen has started training in the Lake | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
District ahead of attempting to become the first war wounded | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
personnel to climb Mount Everest in March. It's the final training camp | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
for Walking With the Wounded before the Everest expedition. The charity | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
found fame last year walking to the North Pole with Prince Harry and | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
it's hoped the challenge will raise �2 million for injured servicemen | :17:26. | :17:36. | |
:17:36. | :17:37. | ||
and women. I have been really lucky with the improvement of my injuries. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Some men have not been and hopefully this will be an example | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
to them that you can set your own challenges. Not everybody can climb | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
Everest. There are injuries on different levels. Everyone can set | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
their own challenge. Good luck to them. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Now, imagine being told you're pregnant with triplets when you | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
already have four children. Well, it happened to Michelle Russell | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
from Washington whose babies Terri, Derek and Daniel, were born six | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
weeks prematurely and faced a fight for survival. Happily they're now | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
safely home from hospital - and Chris Storey's been to see them. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
They say seven is a lucky number and Michelle Russell thinks she's | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
the luckiest woman alive. With children John, Rebecca, Anthony and | :18:25. | :18:34. | |
Joseph, life at their house in Barmston was already snug. Then she | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
discovered she was expecting the triplets. Terrified, shocked, but | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
happy. It was a blessing and you could take it as a curse, I think, | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
or say it is hard and how can I call, but he just do. What the | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
people have asked how we cope. How do you look so saying? What is it | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
like having a house like this? Hectic. We were saying the other | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
day and saying, if we did not have these triplets, it would be so | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
boring. I would do it again the same way. I love it. 30 tiny | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
fingers, 30 tiny toes. They are doing well but it was touch and go | :19:24. | :19:33. | |
for a while. We knew before it they were born that there was not room | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
where we where so the two boys were shut down to North Tees Hospital, | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
and on the second day, both of their lungs collapsed. Michelle did | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
not actually see the boys until the Saturday afternoon. Life has | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
:20:01. | :20:02. | ||
changed for you, hasn't it? Yes. I was the youngest and now it | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
overnight I am the middle. It is great. It is rare to get first-hand | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
in its -- advice from experienced father of triplets but that's | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
exactly what a cameraman here is. Very soon, they were swapping | :20:18. | :20:28. | |
:20:28. | :20:28. | ||
stories and getting a few practical tips. | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
Adam's on the camera's here and he still standing. It is possible! All | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
those bottles, I imagine! We'll start with the news that | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Sunderland striker Nicklas Bendtner is likely to be out of action for | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
the next few weeks. The Danish international took an accidental | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
boot in the face from Swansea's Angel Rangel in the game at the | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
Stadium of Light last weekend. It's been revealed that Bendtner has a | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
broken nose and there's damage to the area around the eye socket. The | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
first game he'll miss, of course, is Sunday afternoon's FA Cup derby | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
with Middlesbrough. Stepping up his work on the | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
training ground, though, is Hartlepool United manager, Neale | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Cooper. Last month he returned to the job he left in 2005. He did | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
spot one or two familiar faces. And Pools have started climbing the | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
League One table, since the boss got to know the rest of his squad. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
It's almost as if he'd never been away when, in fact, it was six | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
years since he'd steered Hartlepool to within sight of the Championship. | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Former skipper Micky Barron and long-serving Richie Humphreys are | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
still around and that's helped Neale Cooper feel right at home. | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
lot of the office staff are the same, I think the majority are. | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Ritchie and Micky played for me and Mickey was captain when I was here | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
before. They have been a tremendous help. On the coaching side and | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
advising the about the players, and the three of us work well together | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
and there is a good bond. I just love it, coming back and being on | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
the training field again. The Scot left before Pools reached the 2005 | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
League One play-off final against Sheffield Wednesday. Instead, he | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
had to watch that extra-time thriller on TV. It was hard but | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
that's football. It was a fantastic achievement. If you put a good run | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
of games together again, it is funny, you can win a few or lose | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
and be down a back up there. Can we do that? That is what we will set a | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
target for a full stop It's six months until the start of the | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Olympic Games, and to mark the countdown, the North East hosted | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
some special guests today. Among them was Olympic gold medal winner | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
Darren Campbell MBE, who's been meeting schoolchildren and local | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
business people. He was hoping to offer some words of inspiration | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
ahead of the big event this summer. The one thing I'd say about the | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
people of the North East, they are already inspired when it comes to | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
sport. They know how to support it so that can never be questioned. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
What it will do is maybe inspire people who maybe are not into | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
athletics and into through-ball to maybe have a little look at the | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
sports that are available. Talking of the Olympics, this is a | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
crucial year for one of our most versatile sportswomen. Katy | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
Livingston, from Redcar in Cleveland, came seventh in the | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
Modern Pentathlon at Beijing four years ago, but she's long set her | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
sights on competing in the five disciplines for Team GB at London | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
2012. It hasn't always been a smooth run | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
for Katy Livingston since Beijing. She found changes to her sport, | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
especially combining the running and laser pistol shooting events - | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
two of her strongest disciplines - difficult to adjust to. But after a | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
good winter's training, she's hoping to win selection for the | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
first two World Cup competitions of the season which would improve her | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
chances of representing GB at the Olympics this summer. There are six | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
or seven of us and only four spaces for the World Cup so the teams have | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
not been selected yet. It is very close but I am glad I have not | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
retired, or if I do not get picked, I will not stop on a bad one. I | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
will feel good about what I have achieved. The Modern Pentathlon is | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
a gruelling 12 hour sport combining equestrian, fencing, and swimming | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
as well as running and shooting disciplines. But can Katy make it | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
to London? The big event to get picked for that is the world | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
championships this year without finally Mr qualify for the Olympics. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
If she is picked, she has the ability and temperament to do what | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
she needs to do. Having competed last weekend in the final selection | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
trials at her usual University of Bath training base, Katy must now | :24:43. | :24:52. | |
wait to see if her Olympic dream is still on track. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
What have support from her proud dad there and quite right. Now time | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
for the weather, and we have not had any suggestion as to what it | :25:00. | :25:09. | |
It will be quite when to be over the next day with a taste of one to | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
today and these wintry showers continue tomorrow. Sunshine as well | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
but a dusting of snow was well on the top of the hills. No | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
significant snowfall. It is clear for most of the north-eastern North | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
Yorkshire with a fair few wintry showers and the West. It is cold | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
with a touch of frost first thing tomorrow when temperatures around | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
about freezing or just below by first thing tomorrow morning. At | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
Clear started the day and then sunshine to come for much of North | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Yorkshire and for the North East coast, in particular, a lovely day | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
here. Watcher showers and the West but these will fall us know over | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
the top of the North Pennines and the Cumbrian fells. Into Friday | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
afternoon, temperatures just below average for the time of year | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
between four and six Celsius. One or two 20 flurries over the North | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
Pennines and over the Cumbrian fells. What's of sunshine in | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
between the showers. A fine end to the day. Over the next few days, | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
bright skies in much of the north- eastern North Yorkshire. Actually | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
start to the weekend and expect Ross to start the day on Saturday | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
and then once again the temperatures just below average for | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
January. Things get cloudier in the West on Saturday evening and then | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
on Sunday, a spell of rain for Carlisle and much of Cumbria. Much | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
of the rain will spell at Celtic Eastwards. Edging its way into | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
Northumberland and parts of the Wear Valley. For Teesside in North | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
Yorkshire, a fine end to the weekend. We all have crept Synod | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
next from looking up words to the Northern Lights. A reminder that | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
started week ends tonight. We are all being asked to count the number | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
of stars we can see in the constellation of taurine to build a | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
light pollution map of the UK. -- light pollution map of the UK. -- | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
Now for a last look at tonight's headlines. Senior staff at a school | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
in Somerset have been strongly criticised for failing to protect | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
children from a teacher who was jailed last year for sexual abuse. | :27:23. | :27:26. |
