two people were murdered in their own home. On Monday an 81-year-old | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
man was found dead at his house in Middlesbrough. Today the body of a | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
50-year-old woman was discovered at her flat in Whitby yesterday. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Police say the it urgently want to trace James Allen in connection | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
with both murders. They say he should not be approached. What more | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
can you tell us? These have been described as two | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
and brutal murders carried out in the victim's own homes. The first | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
was at Middlesbrough on Monday night where the body of and 81- | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
year-old man was found at his home. He had suffered severe head | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
injuries. The second murder was here in Whitby. The body of a 50- | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
year-old woman was discovered by her sister yesterday. She had also | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
suffered from severe head injuries. She was pronounced dead at the | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
scene. Police have named a 35 euros man, James Allen, in connection | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
with both murders. Earlier we heard from the Chief Superintendent of | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Cleveland Police. We are determined to find James Allen and bring him | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
to justice. Anyone who knows where he is should contact us. Do not | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
approach them. How dangerous is he? He is very dangerous. Our focus is | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
on catching him. This police operation is massively Resort. We | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
are committed to catching him. they any link between the victims? | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
There was no link between these victims. One of Lytton | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
Middlesbrough. The other will love it here in Whitby. Two different | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
areas. But police are urging that people should not approach James | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
Allen, they must contact the police directly. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
What has been the reaction in the town? | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
:03:37. | :03:38. | ||
Would be is the very picturesque. - - would be. Earlier I spoke to some | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
of the residents. There is a sense of shock. Totally surprised. We do | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
not expect anything like this. do not expect a murder on your own | :03:51. | :04:01. | |

street. It makes you very scared. It is not the money, it is the | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
feeling that somebody could enter at night when you are sleeping. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Police say this operation will continue until they find James | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
:04:22. | :04:22. | ||
Allen. There will be more on this story on our late bulletin tonight. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
It was an ordinary trip out that ended with a family being torn | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
apart. Three members of one family were killed when the car they were | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
in hit a lorry in East Durham. Tonight an elderly woman remains in | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
a serious condition, while a lorry driver continues to be questioned | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
by the police. Our reporter sent us this report. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Friends came and laid flowers. Three generations of the same | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
family were killed within seconds. Grandfather. Granddaughter. Great | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
:05:04. | :05:05. | ||
granddaughter. We have a large investigation team working on this. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
This evening police identified those who died. Destiny Reed, 14 | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
months old. Her mother, at Natalie Simpson, 18. Great-grandfather | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Robert Reed, 75. His wife, 74-year- old Margaret remained sees the ill | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
in hospital. A lorry driver is being questioned by the police and | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
has been arrested. His vehicle ended up on the golf course which | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
runs alongside the road back. The club's order says it is a dangerous | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:48. | ||
road. I have be farming in this area for 30 years. I have had | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
occasion to pick up injured people because of crashers. The golf | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
course owner said if you woke up and down this road you can see lot | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
of holes in the hedgerows with accents have taken place. Police | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
say it is not an accident blackspot. In the last five years there have | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
been nine collisions. That is not will be would class as a dangerous | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
road. The family only live a few miles away and would only have been | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
in the car a matter of minutes. A seemingly regular car journey | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
:06:36. | :06:40. | ||
ending with tragic consequences. I Newcastle engineering company has | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
tried to attend school children to take up a career in engineering | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
with the promise of cash. Pearson Engineering is giving money to 16 | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
euros to try to expand the manufacturing sector in the region. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Since the end of World War II is a Newcastle engineering company has | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
made life-saving equipment - mine detectors, detonators for the army. | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
Now a lifeline is being offered to Newcastle students. �1,200 will be | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:22. | ||
given to each of 30 children who commits to a future in Engineering. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
We are trying to persuade the cleverest children to go into | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
:07:37. | :07:38. | ||
science and engineering rather than history and economics. Five pupils | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
from St Cuthbert's School will get the cash to spend on whatever they | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
wish. But the school claims Engineering is already an enticing | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
prospect. There are lots of opportunities. The next 20 years | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
will have great opportunities. Today's visit appeared to have done | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:09. | ||
the trick. They are trying to make staff that you good news every day. | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
I like electronics more than engineering. Who knows. Some years | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
down the line it might be this boy showing off the factory to a new | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
bunch of budding engineers. You can find out what other people | :08:29. | :08:36. | |

The UK economy is back in recession. The affects of difficult economic | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
conditions are obvious in many parts of our region. Clayton Moore | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
has been hit hard. -- Cleator Moor. 10 % of people in that town | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
received Jobseeker's Allowance. Around the main square there are | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
eight in the businesses. But the remaining jurors in the town are | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
determined to try and turn around the fortunes of the town. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
A sure sign of tough times. Cleator Moor's main shopping street has | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
been in decline since a supermarkets moved out of town. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Many other shoppers followed. Businesses have been closing | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
steadily over the past five years. It is the worst it has ever been. | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
:09:46. | :09:47. | ||
Cleator Moor is slowly dying. Everybody is travelling out of town. | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
There are a lot of shops closing. Existing shop orders say they want | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
to bite back at the recession. They have been restarted the Chamber of | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Trade and a bidding for money to improve the high street so it is | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
not just the Scout signs that attract people in. 10 years ago it | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
was a place where people used to come to shop, to spend their money. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
They used to come in the evening to visit the restaurants and pubs. All | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
of those are in need of initiatives to improve things. This plot of | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
land it is a reason why many businesses think it is time to act. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
It will be their home of a �4 million health centre. They say | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
that is the most Investment Cleator Moor has seen in a long time. | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Across the square from the empty shops, one place is bucking the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
trend. Today another new business is moving in to this enterprise | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
centre. This company reinvest all its profits keeping rents low. | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
now have 28 us as us and the complex. -- 28 businesses in that | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
this complex. We are and 95 % full. That is very good. The challenge | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
now is for those on the High Street to encourage more entrepreneurs to | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
:11:28. | :11:30. | ||
take the plunge. Finding those with no money and the | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
nerve to do so will be a challenge. There are some flood alerts in | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
place the seeding. Emergency services in County Durham are | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
continuing to respond to localised flooding. They attended 30 floodlit | :11:45. | :11:49. | |

the full weather forecast at the This time next week, the polling | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
stations will be open. Candidates will compete for 210 sees across | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
cow -- councils in the area. Our political editor has been sizing up | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
the competition. 2012 is a big year for athletes but | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
before any Olympic excitement, there is another set of competitors. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
Politicians fighting the local elections. One-third of seats are | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
up for grabs across Tyne and Wear, Carlisle, South Lakeland, Harrogate | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
and Craven. The whole council is that for election in Hartlepool. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
Labour has been top of the podium for years but the Conservatives and | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Liberal Democrats are scrapping it out for second and third. I don't | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
expect it to change much but that will not stop politicians straining | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
every sinew. Take Labour. They want to strengthen their hold on the | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
councils they already run but after years of trying, they would also | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
like to cross the finishing line and take back control of Carlisle. | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
It is vital to send a clear message to government that the region | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
cannot be taken for granted. They have written us off. Lib Dems have | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
friendly sold out this region. We need a strong Labour voice to stand | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
up for our region and to mitigate it is the worst excesses of this | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Government's cuts. The Lib Dems struggled to get over the Garrick - | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
- barrier of being in government last year. This time the hurdles | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
look at -- as high but this time they say they offer something | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
different. We will listen to people about their problems and we work | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
hard on behalf of our communities and that is one reason people need | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
to vote for us in local elections. We are not so bowed to ideology but | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
think of best solutions for are areas and will be determined to get | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
that. Conservatives have upset their part on the local elections | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
pretty low this year but that does not mean they are not determined to | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
convince you to vote for a Conservative councillor. It is | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
important people realise that they are voting for local politicians, | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
people who vote for all the things that matter when you stand on the | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
doorstep. It is about what happens in your community not nationally | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
and voting Conservative delivers better services and better quality | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
services at a lower rate for local voters. Faster, higher and longer | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
is the aim for athletes but the politicians now, however hard they | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
peak -- compete, only the voters can decide. | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
That was a nice sporty shot to end Let's start this evening with some | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
more exciting news for Cumbria. The Pirelli Rally sets off from | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Carlisle tomorrow night. And the fourth stage of this year's cycling | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
race, the Tour of Britain, will set off from the city as well this | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
autumn. It'll be the first time since 2005 that the race - which | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
features some of the world's leading competitors - has been in | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
Carlisle. It will leave on September the 12th. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Well, the popularity of cycling in the North East and Cumbria | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
continues to grow. And now serious riders have a new challenge in the | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
shape of the Etape Pennines. It's a gruelling ride which takes place in | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Teesdale and Weardale, as Martin Emmerson explains. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
This is no ride for the faint- hearted. It crosses some of the | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
highest roads in Britain and it boasts the sort of climbs that | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
wouldn't look out of place in an Alpine Stage of The Tour De France. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Two time world champion Rob Hayles was among those who tested part of | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
the route from High Force. Pretty savage out there today. Very Healy. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Dead roads and beautiful scenery in between the clouds. It is difficult | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
and it will be extremely tough in October. | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
The Etape will be on closed roads making it safer for riders. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
would encourage people to put the training in and respect the | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
challenge. It is do a ball but it is not one for your first time. I | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
would like to say that people can do it but I would like to encourage | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
as many to take part as possible but there are challenging hills | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
which will require some training. But James Robinson, from the | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
organisers IMG, admits it's not for novices. The ride will take place | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
on October 7th, beginning and finishing in Durham. It's part of a | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
series of events expected to raise �1 million for Marie Curie Cancer | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Care. Sportives like this are growing in popularity. The Cyclone | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
in Northumberland attracts around 4,000 riders every year. | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
calendar is jam-packed. There are tens of thousands of riders who do | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
this at weekends. It is an explosion. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
An explosion because of Britain Now he's spent much of the season | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
on the sidelines - in the last few weeks because of a thigh injury - | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
but Newcastle United striker Peter Lovenkrands is back in the | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
limelight with a novel fund-raising venture in memory of his late | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
father who died from Alzheimer's disease at the age of just 61. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Newcastle's promotion-winning season - a goal against rivals West | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Brom scored by the Danish winger with the Scottish accent, Peter | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
Lovenkrands. He was still coming to terms with the death in Denmark of | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
his father, Bent, who'd been diagnosed with Alzheimer's five | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
years earlier. I was about to leave the House to go to the airport and | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
they couldn't get out the door quick enough. When I was about to | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
go out, my mum was on the phone and told me. It was the worst feeling I | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
have ever had in my life. He was such a family man and to suddenly | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
see him forget things and he would always remember everything. The | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
stories he used to tell us... He couldn't tell us any more. It was | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
heartbreaking. Peter's emotional goal celebration captured the | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
hearts of the nation. Now, two years on, he hopes a series of | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
online auctions helped by the social network site Twitter will | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
raise thousands for the Alzheimer's Society. Team mates have already | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
rallied round but the wider football world is involved too. | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
even managed to get a signed Tottenham top and gloves from Aston | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Villa as well. The most coveted prize up for auction is a VIP trip | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
to the sold-out Manchester City game. Before that, though, a tough | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
trip to Wigan and with his rehabilitation still not complete, | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
another nervous afternoon on the She was aiming for her Olympic | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
dream. At the age of 33, Alyson Dixon competed in the London | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Marathon on Sunday. She was among several athletes aiming to clinch | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
the last British place on the Olympic team. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Alyson needed to smash her personal best and a bit more to qualify and | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
she's had the whole of the region rooting for her. Adele Robinson | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
:20:10. | :20:21. | ||
Just days after returning from her recent altitude training in Kenya, | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
Alyson is in London. Her race is under way for the last British spot | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
on the Olympic marathon team. And only her second London Marathon | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
ever. This is the biggest challenge of her running career so far. | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
was very relaxed this morning and focused. She knew there was a job | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
to be done. She prepared physically and mentally. She needs to complete | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
it in at least two hours and 30 minutes. Sheet always realised | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
making the Olympics is a big task although a dream. -- a big ask. | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
mile 22, cramp set in and she knew she would not make the time. On the | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
other side of the river by London bridge, her family waited for her | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
return. The first. We saw how was about 12 1/2 miles. She looked very | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
relaxed. People were saying, who is it? We said it was a daughter and | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
