Tonight: Calls for tougher penalties for those caught carrying | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
knives from a mum whose son was stabbed to death. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
How the wrangle over the future of children's heart surgery in the | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
north could go on for at least another year. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Cashing in on the Ashes. Could one of the north's biggest ever | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
sporting events bring in �20 million to the local economy? | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
The abandoned pet terrapins that are said to be threatening | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Cumbria's wildlife. And how punk rock, and pomp and | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
circumstance are coming together at one of Britain's great traditional | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
occasions. In sport, we meet the hockey | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
international hoping to spread the word about his favourite game. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
And the Aussies are in town! They've checked into their north- | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:08. | ||
east base, ahead of this week's Get tough on those who carry knives. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
That's the message from a mum whose son was stabbed to death. It comes | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
as new figures released today reveal that more people arrested in | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
the Cleveland Police area were found to be carrying an offensive | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
weapon than in any other part of the country. Police recovered a | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
firearm, knife or some other kind of weapon on 269 occasions last | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
year. Campaigners say the force isn't doing enough to combat the | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
problem. Today's figures, which clearly | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
suggest the streets of towns like Middlesbrough are among the most | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
dangerous in the country, will come as a shock to parents and the wider | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
public alike. They're based on the number of incidents where a person | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
is stopped by police and found to be carrying a weapon. In our region, | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Middlesbrough's figure of 269 compares to 177 in North Yorkshire, | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
221 in County Durham, 270 in Cumbria and 615 in Northumbria. But | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
it's when those figures are placed in context with the size of | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
population that Cleveland's are found to be the worst in the | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
:02:24. | :02:38. | ||
country. A gang came to the door when he was at his friend's house. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
They wanted to smoke drugs, Christopher was frightened and | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :02:54. | ||
descended and a way. But they came back later and Chris was killed. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Theresa Cave from Redcar knows better than most the consequences | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
of carrying an offensive weapon. It's just over ten years since her | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
son Chris was stabbed to death. Since her loss, she's campaigned | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
tirelessly to raise awareness of knife crime but still feels her | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
services are not used enough. They should get a sentence to show | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
that they should not get away with carrying a knife. Cleveland Police | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
say they've committed thousands of hours towards addressing the issue | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
and the figures are actually down on last year. It's just that the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
situation in other areas has improved even more quickly. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
From our perspective, the work we're doing in the local community | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
is to find -- is proving a success. We're talking 260 offences across | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
the year. For us, that is potentially fewer victims of | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
:03:47. | :03:50. | ||
It's a medical and legal wrangle that's been going on for years. But | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
now, it's emerged that a decision on the future of children's heart | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
units in Newcastle and Leeds could be at least another year away. The | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
NHS wanted to close the unit in Leeds, but that decision was | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
blocked at the High Court. A new report says the obligation to | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
listen to all sides must take precedence over the need to end all | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the uncertainty. Gerry Jackson is live for us at Newcastle's Freeman | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
Hospital. It is five years since this raised | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
its head. Just over one year since there were scenes of celebration | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
here, but as we just know -- as we now know their relief was premature. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
After the successful challenge by Leeds, the judge ordered it to be | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
re-run. We could be waiting a while yet. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
It was all about reducing the number of children's heart surgery | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
centres, to concentrate expertise and hence, it was said, save more | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
young lives. It's 13 months since the original decision to save the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
CHU at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. The one in Leeds was marked for | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
closure. Anger in West Yorkshire prompted a legal challenge at the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
High Court. In March this year, the judge quashed the decision to end | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
surgery at Leeds after what she agreed was fundamental unfairness | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
in the NHS review. Finally, this June, the Health Secretary said the | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
plans could not go ahead in their current form. Now, according to NHS | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
:05:23. | :05:25. | ||
England, it seems a new verdict could be another year away, or more. | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
:05:35. | :05:43. | ||
NHS England's medical director Bill And he says that could all take | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
until June 2014. Everyone concerned agrees that unnecessary delay is | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
good for nobody. The question is, how long must this go on? | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Three all the parents are bitterly disappointed that it will be at | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
least another year. Everyone involved understands being | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
methodical and transparency, but what is on hold as the development | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
of the service and everyone is in limbo, which is so distressing. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
harsh truth is that however long it takes, and whatever is pronounced, | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
a lot of people are sure to be made very unhappy. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Joining me now is the trustee executive. While the surgeons and | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
clinicians are able to do their jobs, why does it matter in terms | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
about come whether this takes one year or two or five? We have got to | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
get it right. The Government decided that the scope of the study | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
is now much wider. It is going to include ongoing support and -- from | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
childhood into adulthood, and on it goes. It was anticipated one year, | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
possibly two years. What can you not do until this is resolved? | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
There is uncertainty in the investment programme. There's an | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
additional planned to recruit for the staff and additional facilities, | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
and we want to get on and get things done. You think one here is | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
optimistic? -- one year? I think it is going to be quite a scope study. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
There will be a lot of public opinion. We'd can only keep our | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
fingers crossed. Thank you. From the Leeds went, there is a lot | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
of campaign. They say they are keeping up with their campaign and | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
say that they welcome the fact that NHS England is committed to new | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
levels of transparency and stakeholders engagement. Their | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
overwhelming priority is the input of patients' families and | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
clinicians from all regions. Whatever is decided in the end, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
there is no guarantee at this stage that there would not be yet another | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
legal challenge at the end of all of that. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
A woman and her husband have denied stealing nearly �100,000 her 91- | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
year-old godmother's life savings account. Teesside Crown Court's | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
heard that Lesley and Andrew Reeve from Hartlepool are accused of | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
withdrawing the cash and transferring money over the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
internet from Joan Killen's account to their joint account over two | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
years. Mr Reeve became a co- signatory for Miss Killen's | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
:08:29. | :08:30. | ||
accounts after her mental health began to deteriorate with dementia. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
A controversial merger of a private and state school in North Tyneside | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
will go ahead after councillors voted unanimously against a | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
judicial review. The fee-paying Kings School and state Priory | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Primary school in Tynemouth will become the new Kings Priory School | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
in September. North Tyneside council says it is working to | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
counteract the detrimental effect it says the merger will have on | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
:08:59. | :08:59. | ||
other schools in the area. Now we have decided the legal challenges | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
of the agenda, we will ask if they are willing to give financial | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
relief to the schools affected. This is a perfectly reasonable | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
request, considering they are paying off a �5 million debt of the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
independent school. They can grow to the size of a | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
dinner plate, have a nasty bite and are quite partial to a leg of duck! | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
But now abandoned pet terrapins are threatening Cumbrian wildlife, | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
according to one of the county's rescue centres. It seems people buy | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
them as pets then decide they are a bit of a handful. Around 100 | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
terrapins have been found dumped in rivers and ponds in the Carlisle | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
and Penrith areas over the last year. 14 were recovered in the last | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
week. A quick inspection for a new | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
arrival at the sanctuary. He might not look like much of a handful now, | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
but with snappy jaws and claws always ready to swipe, terrapins | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:03. | ||
can quickly become tricky pets. goes back over the years since the | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
start of the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze. But turtles being | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
sold have got bigger and bigger, and people are dumping them all | :10:16. | :10:26. | |
over the place throughout the Lake District. The terrapins were | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
rescued from the River Eden near Carlisle and the Eamont in Penrith. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
The water's too cold for them to breed but they still pose a threat | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
to the county's native wildlife. They will eat anything that moves, | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:49. | ||
and they will lead and take the legs of ducks. Snapping turtles can | :10:49. | :10:59. | |
:10:59. | :11:02. | ||
be really dangerous and could take the finger off a child. Terry says | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
there is a limit to how many terrapins he can rescue. He's | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
calling for more regulation for the pet shops which sell them and a bit | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
more common sense from the people who buy them. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |

sport. Plus, how one of our most famous | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
punk rock bands will be doing their bit for a very British institution. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Did you see the sky last night? I will have some fantastic images of | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
the sunset if you missed it. Just three days to go now until | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
England play Australia in the Ashes at Chester-le-Street - the home of | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Durham County Cricket Club. The match is arguably the biggest ever | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
sporting fixture in our region. It's sold out for the first three | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
days, and tickets are going fast for the remaining two. When | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
everything's added up it could bring in an estimated �20 million | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
:12:13. | :12:14. | ||
for the local economy. Here's our business correspondent. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
There's a palpable sense of anticipation hanging over Riverside. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Its first Ashes Test is almost here. Five days of cricket against the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
most eagerly-awaited opponent - Australia. And while the match is | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
being played, it will be quietly doing its bit for our economy. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
looks like it will be a minimum of �20 million coming into the economy | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
as a result. That is people spending money in hotels, | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
restaurants, bars, going out and seeing the county while they are | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
here. And it is not just the obvious tourist facilities that | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
will benefit. This gym overlooks Riverside. Indeed the deal to put | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
it here allowed the cricket club to build a stand for its first Test | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
back in 2002. And the Ashes should bring it an upsurge in membership. | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
The atmosphere in the club changes when cricket matches are won. There | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
are a lot of people visiting the area and the ground, and you get | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
people coming to see what we can offer. As for Durham Cricket itself, | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
the club should make money from hosting the Ashes Test. Although it | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
has to pay the game's governing body, the ECB, an undisclosed sum | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
for the privilege of doing so. There is clearly a massive | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
investment in originally securing the ear and then developing the | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
ground around it. But it is different to a lot of the one-day | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
stuff that we have here watch does not generate a great deal of money. | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
But it is part of the price you pay for the bigger paydays that keep | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
the ground ticking over. The hope is though that this Ashes test will | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
help to narrow the �1.2 million pound loss Durham reported for its | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
last financial year. With the rest of the region benefiting to the | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
tune of �20 million pounds, it would seem only fair. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
So a big boost to the economy anticipated when the match gets | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
underway on Friday. In the meantime, the Australians have actually | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
arrived. Here they are, checking into their team hotel in Gateshead | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
ahead of tomorrow's practice session at Chester-le-Street. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Meanwhile the finishing touches are being applied to the ground, and | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
Katie Gornall's been looking at how the team have been preparing to | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
host the big game. Getting ready to welcome the world. | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Chester-le-Street may be the new kids on the block when it comes to | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
hosting Ashes cricket, but the staff here are determined to leave | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
:14:58. | :14:58. | ||
a lasting impression, and have been putting in some hard graft. We have | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
teams of people checking all the seats in the stadium making sure | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
they are fit for use on Friday. We are expecting the Australian kits | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
to come soon, and they will going to the dressing rooms. We are half | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
a day ahead of where we should be. Of course, a full ground means | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
plenty of mouths to feed. Making sure no-one goes hungry is head | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
chef Mark Bennett, who started planning his menu seven months ago. | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
It is a challenge for the hospitality. We are doing about | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
50,000 on the first day, and then we have the English cricket team | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
who we will give the I P food to. And then Australians get cod and | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
chips! We need every advantage we can get out of them. Then we have | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
about 17,000 public on site, so we have a retail wagons from stir- | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
fries to hog roasts and burgers. It is quite a challenge. So the clock | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
is ticking, but the ground has been gearing up to this. The eyes on the | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
world will be focused on that wicket over there. Tomorrow the | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
players will be here to judge the pitch for themselves. It's | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
undergone some drastic changes in the past 24 hours. Last night the | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
outfield was under water. But the new outfield is doing well, and | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
we're confident that we will cope with it, and we came in this | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
morning to just one or two puddles, so it just shows you how organise | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
:16:43. | :16:45. | ||
we are. To work up to an Ashes Test is unbelievable. We have had a few | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
Test matches, but an Ashes Test is brilliant. The pride is palpable | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
here at Chester-le-Street, and soon their hard work will be put to the | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
Test. It is a very impressive ground. | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Everyone must be nervous. You have a bit of TV news, is that right? | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
-- team news. Well, England - like Australia - arrived in the north- | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
east today, fresh from that washout at Old Trafford in Manchester. And | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
for spin bowler Graeme Swann, it's a bit like coming home. His father, | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Ray, is from Northumberland, and played cricket for the county | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
before moving to the Midlands, where Graeme was born. That | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
explains why the spinner is a Newcastle United fan. And this | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
afternoon he was in Durham to promote the cancer charity, set up | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
by former Magpies' boss, Sir Bobby Robson. Graeme is offering a | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
private coaching session as part of Sir Bobby's Breakthrough Auction. | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
And he says he feels like he's come home. | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
I do, yes. My family are all from here. It still feels like home when | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
I come back here. Hundreds of people coming out of the woodwork | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
for the game, so it is great to be home. This has been a first-class | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
ground for 15 or 16 years, so to get a nasty -- Ashes Test match so | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
quickly is brilliant. It has always been thriving up here, and for | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
Durham to have such success in a short time, it is great that has | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
been recognised. And it's Graeme Swann's county side, | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Northants, who stand between Durham and a place at T20 Finals' Day. The | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
quarter-final tie at Northampton starts just after seven o'clock. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
There's commentary on the BBC cricket website, and on 5 Live | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
Sports Extra, and we'll have the result on our late news bulletin. | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
From cricket to football, and the games are coming thick and fast. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Tonight's it's the first round of the Capital One League Cup, and | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Middlesbrough are breaking new ground. Tony Mowbray's side are at | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
home to Accrington Stanley - the first time the clubs have met in | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
any form of competition. Saturday's home defeat by Leicester underlined | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Boro's need for more new signings, but how many does Mowbray think | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
:18:56. | :19:01. | ||
they need? I am wary of putting a number on it, | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
but... The team are very supportive, it is not me putting pressure on | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
everyone, we do need signings. Everyone is working hard to make | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
that happen. We have a few targets we are shooting at, and I am sure | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
some of them will drop in for us in the next week or so. There will be | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
commentary from the Riverside, as usual, on BBC Tees, where you can | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
also follow Hartlepool United's trip to Nottingham Forest. BBC | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Radio York will have coverage of the Minstermen at home to Burnley. | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
Carlisle play Blackburn tomorrow, in case you're wondering. Newcastle | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
have confirmed the signing of a striker, after their match with | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
Glasgow Rangers. Well, it's never going to overtake football in our | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
region, but it seems hockey is growing in popularity among some of | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
our youngsters. To try to keep the momentum going, a top international | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
goalkeeper has flown up to offer some coaching tips. As Damian | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
O'Neil found out, hockey is not just for the ladies. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
It has a reputation as a genteel sport played at boarding schools | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
for girls, but that's not how the goalkeeper sees it when the ball's | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
heading towards his face at 80mph. Former England GB keeper Simon | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Mason is here to impart some of his wisdom on the girls and boys who | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
want to follow in his footsteps. requires a degree of bravery, and a | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
degree of intelligence. Every player on the pitch would say it is | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
downright stupidity standing in goals having balls had put your | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
head. Some players are really talented. Scottish national and | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Whitley Bay keeper Blair Fotheringham has lost a front tooth | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
to hockey and admits it takes a while to get used to the speed of | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
the game. I am not going to live. When I first started playing in | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
goal, it was scary with the ball coming at 80 miles an hour to watch | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
your head. You need to train yourself out of it, and it is good | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
fun. Do you consider yourself to be posh? No, not really!Isn't it a | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
posh girls' game? I do not think it is. Traditionally it probably was | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
seen as a private girls' school game. But more and more boys are | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
getting involved, especially with the Olympics in 2012, more people | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
are getting an idea of the sport. Damian did not have a go because it | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
is too rough for him! Now, it's billed as "the world's greatest | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
classical music festival." For eight weeks, every summer, the | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
Royal Albert Hall in London plays host to the Henry Wood Promenade | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
Concerts, better known as the BBC Proms. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
This year, though, there's a new element to the programme. And it | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
involves a singer and guitarist from Sunderland, playing with a | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
band you wouldn't normally associate with the pomp and | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
ceremony of one of Britain's great, traditional occasions. | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
:21:57. | :22:15. | ||
If you think this is what the Proms He's been all over the world in his | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
13 years as the front man for The Stranglers, but Baz Warne still has | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
a base back home on Wearside. So it seemed natural to head off down to | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
the beach for a chat, and to ask what he thought, when one of our | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
oldest punk bands was invited to play at the Proms. I cannot really | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
tell you what my reaction was because this is teatime television! | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
But I was very surprised, pleasantly so. Then it was, how do | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
we approach this, what will it be about? I think they just wanted a | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
classic or old-style British band. A band who have been around a long | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
time and have had a lot of hits. It was as much as the a surprise to us | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
as it was to other people. Top hat and tails? We have talked about | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
dress codes, but as to what we are going to wear on the day, we will | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
probably just do believe the return where a leather jackets, that's | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
what we have always done. -- we will probably just go down the | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
lazier route. There are various other people and a huge big | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
orchestra. So I am really looking forward to it. Now that his | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
imminent. I have not thought about it for a while, but now that is on | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
the doorstep. Next year the Strangler celebrate 40 years in the | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
business, so how long can the a go on? I am philosophical about it. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Nothing lasts forever. I saw some of the stones to teach from | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
Glastonbury, and there comes a time when you have to City yourself, we | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
cannot do this for much longer. -- the Rolling Stones footage from | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
Glastonbury. If we're popular enough to pull crowds, which we are, | :24:16. | :24:26. | |

That is at the Royal Albert Hall on We have got some beautiful weather | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
pictures to start us off. Did you catch the sun set last night across | :24:40. | :24:50. | |

the region? He is one of the many This looks like a scene from Alfred | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
Hitchcock film. And the last image, the Angel of the North, with the | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
red sky at night. Thank you to some Campbell. There will be spells of | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
sunshine after of yesterday's downpours. Through this evening and | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
overnight, it stays dry across the region, and we're expecting a bit | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
of late sunshine and clear spells after dark. Those clearing skies | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
allowed in there just to get quick though possibly into single figures. | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
It will be fresher than it has been for the last few nights, high | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
Fortes in Fahrenheit. First thing tomorrow, lots of sunshine, | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
:26:09. | :26:17. | ||
especially in North Yorkshire and parts of Cumbria. By teatime, | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
temperatures around average, 20 Celsius, 68 Fahrenheit. More | :26:22. | :26:32. | |
:26:32. | :26:38. | ||
sunshine to come, with temperatures in the high teens. Things are | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
staying largely dry and settled by the end of the week, with Thursday | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
or Friday bringing settled conditions and sunshine, with | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
nothing more than sunlight passing showers. Top temperatures tend to | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
be around average for this time in August. Over the next few days | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
things will be largely dry and settled, with some showers on | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Friday morning. All eyes will be on the first day of the test, and it | :27:08. | :27:15. |
