$$CLEAR $:/STARTFEED. Hello and welcome to Thursday's | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Look North. Tonight: The 56,000 holes in the | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
road that are costing millions to repair. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
How the horse meat scandal has seen sales soar at this quorn factory | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
and could lead to new jobs. The new campaign to raise awareness | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
about a condition that affects one in 100 of us. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
And the birds-eye view of Hadrian's Wall that has helped unlock secrets | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
from the past. In sport, too many of our football | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
teams are facing a nerve-racking end to the season. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
And one has already fallen through the trapdoor. We speak to the | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
:00:47. | :00:51. | ||
Hartlepool manager about the pain They are a danger to both motorists | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
and cyclists. And potholes are costing millions of pounds a year | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
to put right. Figures show that an estimated 56,000 road defects have | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
been dealt with by councils in the North East and Cumbria in the last | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
:01:15. | :01:16. | ||
year. And today one of our MPs unveiled a dossier of pothole | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
pictures sent to him by people concerned about the continuing poor | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
state of our roads. Live now to our reporter who is on Teesside for us. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
This is a problem that just won't go away, isn't it? | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
There are two topics that keep coming up. They are related. The | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
first as a was paid a terrible weather and the second is these | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
things. Potholes like this have become a common sight on our roads. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Near Middlesbrough, you can see this one was reported as dangerous | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
to driver has a fortnight ago. It has been filled in, but already it | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
is starting to a road away and becoming another pothole. An MP has | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
collated a dossier on the subject. I have been out and about across | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Teesside this morning to see if our region's roads are really going to | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
pot. It is a familiar site. The AA | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
reckons a third of motorists nationwide have damaged their cars | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
:02:26. | :02:31. | ||
on poorly kept roads. Every time you hit a pothole, you know that | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
they're doing some damage. The fact is that we can't avoid them. We | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
wish we could. You can't avoid them. If you're not striving trait -- | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
driving straight, you will get pulled over. A recent survey | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
revealed a third of drivers have suffered damage to their cars over | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
the last two years. There has been a vast increase in car tyre wear | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
and coil spring breakage from excess of potholes. Buckled wheels | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
as well. An industry body survey estimates a timescale of 11 years | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
to get a roads pothole free. It could be a while yet until we see | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
the back of the British potholes. Today, Liberal Democrat MP Tim | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Farron handed in a dossier of 100 potholes that are among those | :03:36. | :03:46. | |
:03:46. | :03:52. | ||
causing Cumbrian's problems. This stage of the roads is shocking. The | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
county council Gilfillan pot holes badly rather than resurfacing. It | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
is not just inconvenience -- inconvenient, it is dangerous for | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
motorists and cyclists. The county council's budget for reactive road | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
maintenance has dropped by �800,000 this year, but is still at �10.5 | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
million. The severe winter weather has caused more defects in the road, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
but a rolling programme of maintenance is ongoing. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Responsibility for each area is devolved to local committees. Today | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Mr Farron was accused of electioneering. The coalition | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
government gave additional funding to Cumbria County Council to help | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
repair potholes. I find it surprising that he is out there | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
claiming that more money should be spent. The local authorities during | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
the best job they can despite massive cuts coming from central | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
government. I find it astounding that MPs can criticise this when | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
they're the ones faulting for these centralised cuts. Just last month, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Cumbria was found to be the second worst county in the country for the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
amount of miles undergoing roadworks with more than 200 miles | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
under repair. But to solve this pothole problem it seems they are a | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
:05:11. | :05:11. | ||
necessary evil. Fixing these things does not come | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
cheap. Two figs 1 pothole costs �55. It is not just -- to fix one pot | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
hole. It could also be leaving holes in drivers' pockets. | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
Police have released CCTV images of 19 men. They want to trace them | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
after violence broke out following Sunday's Tyne and Wear derby. The | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
men in these pictures were all captured during disorder on | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Westgate Road immediately after the end of the match. 29 people have | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
already been arrested. He was a hero who lost his life | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
saving others. That was the reaction today from a former | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
workmate of Maurice Wrightson, the coach driver from Northumberland | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
killed in a crash in the French Alps on Tuesday. More than 50 | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
passengers were either thrown from the bus or escaped before it | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
erupted in a fireball on a mountain road. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Maurice Wrightson from Ashington in Northumberland was driving more | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
than 50 people on their way home from the French Alps when the coach | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
left the road on Tuesday. It smashed into rocks before bursting | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
into flames. French police say they suspect there was a problem with | :06:19. | :06:29. | |
:06:29. | :06:30. | ||
the vehicle's brakes. I think if he didn't do what he did do, there | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
would have been a lot of fatalities, if not all of them. I think he | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
really is a hero. He lost his life, but saved the day for everyone else. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
No doubt about it. The French transport minister said Mr | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Wrightson had displayed remarkable courage. He said the 64-year-old | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
had let the coach hit rocks to slow down rather than risk it going over | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
:07:01. | :07:03. | ||
the edge. The British ambassador to France went in the area and spoke | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
to the French media. TRANSLATION: Were here to support the victims. | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
We're doing all we can to see things progress quickly. We will be | :07:13. | :07:23. | |
:07:23. | :07:30. | ||
in contact with the families if necessary regarding compensation. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Three seriously injured Britons remain in hospital after Tuesday's | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
crash. The chartered coach had been transporting ski resort staff back | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
to the UK at the end of the ski season. The bus company, Classic | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Coaches, is based at Annfield Plain in County Durham. The firm said | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
today it had had launched a full investigation and is working | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
closely with the local authorities. The horse meat scandal has damaged | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
the reputation of a number of companies and supermarkets. But one | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
of our region's businesses has benefited. The North Yorkshire | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
maker of meat substitute quorn has seen its sales soar. And new jobs | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
could even be coming to its factory in Stokesley. Our Business | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
Correspondent reports. Quorn is already a big seller. It | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
is the 30 fifth-biggest food brand, selling more than Heinz tomato | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
ketchup. After the horse meat scandal, it is getting bigger. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
have increased by 7%. In the current financial climate, that is | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
a good performance. We have seen that a cut to 20% growth in the UK. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
We believe that was timed as the horse meat concerns appear in mid- | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
:08:45. | :08:47. | ||
February. To build on that rise in sales, expect to see more newspaper | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
magazine -- newspaper, magazine and television sports encouraging us to | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
try the product. We have been increasing our advertising. We have | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
spent �5 million this year. That is a large spend for a food brand in | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
the UK. The North Yorkshire company already sells and to 12 companies - | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
- 12 countries. They're coming up with new products to appeal to | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
buyers at home and abroad. Pork pie and chicken dippers are in | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
development. There is always something you we can do. We made a | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
picnic egg last year. We're always looking and two other areas we can | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
move into. Our protein is so versatile. In five years' time, we | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
will be beyond where we are just now. A in the short term, it is a | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
food scandal that has given this company a lift. Temporary staff | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
have been increased. Full-time staff are working longer hours for | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
overtime. They will shh -- they will soon be applying for new | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
vacancies. Now, if you came across someone | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
having an epileptic seizure, would you know what to do? Epilepsy | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
affects about one in every 100 of us. Now campaigners are trying to | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
raise awareness of the condition here in the North. They say there's | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
still far too much of a stigma about it. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
You wouldn't know it to look at her, but Moira Copeland from Newcastle | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
has lived most of her life with a condition it seems most of us don't | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
want to talk about. She has had epilepsy since she was 13. I used | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
:10:36. | :10:37. | ||
to fall down in class. In later life, my ex-husband used to walk | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
away from me in the morning. People have thought that I was drunk. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Other people have thought I was on drugs. Epilepsy has many forms, but | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
essentially it's a brain condition 600,000 people in the UK have it. | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
It can appear at any age, but more commonly as we get older. It can be | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
successfully controlled, but not cured, with the right medication. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
If you find someone having a seizure, the advice is not to try | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
:11:22. | :11:23. | ||
to restrain them, but gently to lie them down in the recovery position. | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
And don't put anything in their mouth. In most instances an | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
:11:38. | :11:43. | ||
ambulance is not needed and the episode should pass quickly. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
need to raise awareness of all neurological conditions. Epilepsy | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
:11:57. | :11:57. | ||
is prime. Moira is leading a normal life, but others have reported | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
being stepped over in the street. One in five of us will suffer a | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
seizure at some time in our lives. The Labour Party leader Ed Miliband | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
has been campaigning in the North East ahead of the local elections | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
and the South Shields parliamentary by-election. The South Shields | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
contest was triggered when his brother David resigned to take up a | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
job with an international charity based in New York. Emma Lewell-Buck | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
has been chosen as the Labour Party candidate. Mr Milliband said the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
key issue for the Labour Party in all the elections was jobs and | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
:12:35. | :12:43. | ||
getting people back into work. Let's take on the energy companies. | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
It starts with the recovery of the many, not just a few millionaires | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
at the top of society. That is the big difference between ourselves | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
and the Conservatives. Meanwhile, the Foreign Secretary | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
William Hague's been in Cumbria today campaigning for the | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Conservatives. Mr Hague first went to Penrith before being taken on a | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
tour of the Stead McAlpin factory at Cummersdale, one of Carlisle's | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
oldest manufacturers. The company makes fabrics for a number of major | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
retailers. This is a good example of what we can achieve in this | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
country. This is a business employing three times what it did | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
three years ago, exporting all over the world. It is bringing | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
manufacturing processes back to Britain. This is the sort of thing | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
that can succeed in the UK. Those council elections are in just | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
two weeks' time. Voters will be deciding who controls the four | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
:13:41. | :13:47. | ||
county councils across the North East and Cumbria. More than 330 | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
seats are up for grabs, and over 1,000 candidates will be contesting | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
them. So how do you choose between them? Our Political Editor has been | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
to the site of another big event of 2013 in search of illumination. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
The splendour of Durham. And in just six weeks, another treasure of | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
the region will be on show here. The Lindisfarne Gospels are coming | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
to these galleries. This is a copy and not the real article. There | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
will be more excitement when they arrive here on 1st July. In the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
meantime, there are some politicians who want to interest | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
you with their gospel ahead of local elections. Hundreds of | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
candidates will be competing in elections for county councils in | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
Durham. As well as Cumbria, Northumberland and North Yorkshire. | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Voters will also be electing a mayor in North Tyneside. Of course, | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
there has not been a lot of good news from our councils recently, | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
and Labour think you should bear that in mind. -- and some think. | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
want people to use the local elections to send a message to | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
government that economic policies are not working, especially here in | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
the North East. I think it is important to send a message about | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
the way in which cuts have been enforced upon our councils. The | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
poorest areas have been hardest hit. It is important our councils stand | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
up for people in the North East. That is the gospel according to | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
Labour. But Iraq others who say it is more about who is best to run | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
local services. We have taken responsibility in many local | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
authorities and have shown it is possible to keep council tax down | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
and make big savings, but keep libraries and Sure Start centres | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
open. Maintain local services that win awards. That kind of commitment | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
is local, not just national. That is something that voters ask us for | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
and we deliver. The Conservatives say if they keep faith with them, | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:52. | ||
it will be good for your wallet and the local economy. We often provide | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
efficient and quality public services. We want to continue the | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
council tax freeze to help people with money in their pockets. It is | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
also about jobs and economic development. Conservative councils | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
will be better at encouraging a job-creation and creating jobs | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
prosperity further individual communities. Others will also be | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
trying to spread their message. The UK Independence Party is putting up | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
more candidates than ever before, the Greens will be hoping to make | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
inroads, and there'll be a host of independent candidates competing | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
with the political parties. The Greens will be hoping to make | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
inroads. There will also be a host of independents competing with the | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
big parties. So although the May elections might not be as hot a | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
ticket as the Gospels exhibition, there will be no shortage of | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
candidates competing for your attention over the next fortnight. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
We are taking you back almost 2,000 years now to when Roman rule | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
stretched from Syria to Spain. North Africa to Britain. Running | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
between Tyneside and the Cumbrian Coast, Hadrian's Wall was the | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
northernmost edge of the Roman Empire. Tomorrow, a BBC One | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
programme reveals new evidence about the frontier gained by | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
looking at the landscape from the air. For tonight's Look North | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Report, archaeologist Ben Robinson flies over the wall to show us how | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
the view from above is changing the view from above is changing | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
perceptions. A giant wall tears across the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
landscape. It is almost 2,000 years since Hadrian ordered its | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
construction. And now evidence gathered from up here could re- | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
write the history of Roman Britain. Vindolanda was just one fort along | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
the frontier. Here an old aerial photo has prompted a new | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
:17:38. | :17:38. | ||
investigation. You see the corner of something appearing in the field. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
It is a monumental corner which couldn't happen in a natural way. | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
Somebody has done that. The question is who and why? This is a | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
small piece of copper alloy we have found. It looks like it is from a | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
soldier. That is incredible. They think this is the site of a fort | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
which predates anything else at Vindolanda. If so, it means the | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Romans were here earlier than the history books tell us. There is so | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
much you can see from the air here. This playing card shape is a Roman | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
camp, lived in by soldiers for just weeks. But it is still visible. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Another camp was discovered on this laser image by archaeologist Bryn | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
:18:30. | :18:33. | ||
Gethin. I have never been here before. This is just a rough, | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Oldfield. If I was walking along the path, I think it would walk | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
right past that without looking. Humphrey Welfare and his brother | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
Adam have surveyed the site. soldiers here were two quarry and | :18:47. | :18:57. | |
:18:57. | :18:57. | ||
select the stone to build the wall. -- to quarry. This was where the | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
wall-builders lived. But the Roman army is just one part of the story | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
of this landscape. English Heritage has pieced together thousands of | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
photos taken along the wall. From coast to coast. Crop marks where | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
iron age farms stood. Larger native settlements. It is perhaps the | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
greatest revelation from aerial archaeology here. Hadrian's Wall | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
was well-populated. Buzzing with life. Before, during and after | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
Roman Rule. What we thought we saw was a very militaristic landscape. | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
Sparsely-populated. When we started to fly, or whole new world emerged. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
We started to see instead of these very few Hill forts, huge numbers. | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
Tens of thousands of isolated plot, completely undefended. You cannot | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
have a landscape like that in an unsecured world. Natives and Romans | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
learned to live alongside each other. And the presence of the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Roman army was attractive to locals, who saw it as chance to make some | :19:59. | :20:08. | |
money. Soldiers bought everything from food to bracelets. The sea | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
glass bottles as useful containers but also a material for making a | :20:13. | :20:23. | |
:20:23. | :20:24. | ||
brace that. Several of these have been found in Roman forts. They | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
were probably guests. -- gifts. Aerial evidence is revealing hidden | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
story of Hadrian's Wall. It is about so much more than the bricks | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
about so much more than the bricks and mortar we can see on the ground. | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
And you can see all the discoveries Ben made on his flight along | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Hadrian's Wall in The Flying Archaeologist tomorrow evening at | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
7:30pm on BBC One. Newcastle United, Sunderland, York | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
City and Gateshead. Four of our professional football clubs | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
desperately hoping not to follow the lead of Hartlepool United, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
whose relegation from League One was confirmed without them even | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
kicking a ball on Tuesday. So what were the manager's thoughts today | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
two mornings after the night before? | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
John Hughes was brought in mid- season to try and preserve | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Hartlepool's League One status. While there were signs of | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
improvement, he couldn't ultimately prevent demotion to the bottom tier | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
of league football. It is bitterly disappointing to be relegated. The | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
supporters have played their part, staying with the team. Over the | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
course of the season. Some fans have been dismayed at a perceived | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
lack of investment. Whatever the case, no-one at the club is blaming | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
bad luck. If you want to win a league, you have to score between | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
70 and 80 goals. We are well short of that. Defensively, you want to | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
concede 40 or 50. We are well above that. As a team, we have not been | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
good enough. A canny recruitment policy will now be needed this | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
summer. You'll be amazed how many players don't want to come to | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Hartlepool for one reason or another. That hurts. We have to | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
bring the guys who want to come here and be part of Hartlepool and | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
bring success to this club. does the head still want to be part | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
of all that? It is not in my DNA to walk away after relegation. I | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
wanted it Hartlepool where it belongs. That is playing football | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
in the First Division, if not higher. So playing for pride at | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
home to automatic promotion hopefuls Brentford. Perhaps next | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
season does begin this Saturday teatime. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
So Hartlepool will start next season in League Two, which is | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
where Gateshead were hoping to be. But instead of challenging for | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
promotion, to stay in the Conference Premier, the Tynesiders | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
need a point from Saturday's final game at Middlesbrough's Riverside | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
Stadium against already-relegated Ebbsfleet. Relegation might mean | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
they would struggle to stay a full- time professional club, and could | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
:23:06. | :23:07. | ||
throw doubt on their plans to build a new home ground in the town. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
It is massive. It is like a cup final, but you are playing for your | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
life. Your family and livelihood. That is the size of the task on | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
Saturday. It if you need more motivation for that, you're in the | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
wrong business. Cricket and Durham recovered from | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
five for three and 50 for six. They reaced 259 for seven. It was in | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
:23:50. | :23:51. | ||
reply to county champions Warwickshire's first innings of 345. | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
The recovery was led by skipper Paul Collingwood's 74 and Scott | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
Paul Collingwood's 74 and Scott Borthwick's unbeaten century. | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
There has been problems with the wind for the cricket. | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:19. | ||
There were real problems with the wind gusts earlier today. Tomorrow | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
should be a kinder day for bumblebees and the rest of us. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Still fairly dusty out there does now. Showery outbreaks of rain to | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
cope with has become through the first half of the night. That | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
should tend to dry up. The winds will eventually eased into a light | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
north-westerly. A completely different feel to things tomorrow. | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Any early showers will tend to die away. Than most of us will have a | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
fine and dry day. Well broken cloud with plenty of sunny spells in the | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
afternoon. Temperatures not exactly tropical. 12 degrees will be the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
peak. 0 winds will be light, variable in direction, but much | :25:09. | :25:18. | |
lighter than of late. The reason it is coming down is there is a big | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
ridge of high pressure building in. That hangs on as we head through | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
the first half of the weekend. Eventually giving weight of frontal | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
system coming in from the north- west, eventually bringing in cloud | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
and rain as well as stronger winds on Sunday. Makes the most of the | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
sunshine on Friday. Some bright intervals on Saturday. The breeze | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
start to pick up through the weekend and the expecting more rain | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
and thicker cloud coming in from that north-west through Sunday. The | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
North East will hang on to the sunny spells longer. Some showery | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
agreed -- showery outbreaks of rain spread to most parts on Sunday. | :26:03. | :26:08. |
