the oppression of one by another. The sun shall never | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
On the big clean`up, people across the North deal with the damage and | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
destruction caused by the storm. Everything you have worked for taken | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
away in a matter of seconds. Tributes from across the North after | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
the death of Nelson Mandela. We think this is a celebration of the | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
big man. He has done everything for our country. An extraordinary hoard | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
of vintage clothing ` uncovered after the death of the owner ` is up | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
for sale. In sport ` awards for Newcastle United's manager AND their | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
goalkeeper But there was FA Cup disappointment for the team which | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
had been the region's last non`League survivor The big clear`up | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
has been underway all day. Yesterday's storm and tidal surge | :00:53. | :01:11. | |
brought misery for hundreds of households across the North. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
cold light of Friday morning saw cold light of Friday morning saw | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
many begin the task of mopping up the mess and assessing the damage. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Tonight, we've reports: From Teesside, where hundreds of homes | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
were evacuated and people were forced to spend the night in a local | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
sports centre. From Whitby in North Yorkshire, where there's a major | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
clean up in progress following one of the worst floods in the town's | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
history. And from Tyneside where houses and businesses were inundated | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
when the River Tyne rose above its banks. First, we're live at the home | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
of one couple in North Shields whose home was wrecked when flood water | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
surged in. Peter Harris is there for us now. This was obviously a lovely | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
house. It is ruined. At its height yesterday, they reach the about two | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
feet in height. To give you an idea of the location, we are overlooking | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
the River Tyne, lovely views out to the sea, but obviously in these very | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
unusual conditions, the water came in. Follow me through from the | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
kitchen and we will go through to the lounge. We will meet the couple | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
who live here. Unfortunately, they have a very forlorn Christmas tree. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Tell me what it was like. It was devastating. I got a phone call at | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
work to tell me to get back straightaway. I could see the | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
floor, within 20 minutes we were two feet underwater, scrambling to get | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
the precious items, photo albums, wedding albums, save what we could. | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
Small mercies. You were telling me earlier you have had a recurrent | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
dream of a flood and it happened. That's it. Since we moved in, dream | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
home, we worked very hard for, it was absolutely pristine and | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
everything we could have wished for and I had these nightmares time and | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
time again that it would flood. It seems they have come true. I hope | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
they stop now. You must feel like crying. I have cried a lot. I'm just | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
glad our dog was not here because she would have been traumatised and | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
we have very good neighbours who helped us out with everything. They | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
put us up last night, offered us a bed for the next two nights, they | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
have been saviours. They have been amazing. They came in and they were | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
putting things up high. We are very grateful to them. We wish you all | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
the best. The bad news is they will probably be out of this house for | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
around six months and they need to find alternative accommodation for | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Christmas and beyond. That is very sad. Very unusual weather conditions | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
yesterday and this is the damage that has been done. Your heart goes | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
out to them. In Middlesborough, 10,000 properties were left without | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
electricity. And the town centre was hit by a black`out after a | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
substation was flooded. Three hundred people in nearby Port | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Clarence were forced to leave their homes after the River Tees burst its | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
banks. That meant many people had to spend the night in a local sports | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
centre. Stuart Whincup has this report. It was an unforgettable | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
night. Middlesbrough's town centre plunged into darkness. Thousands | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
walking home in rush hour, as street lights, traffic lights shops and | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
business are all out. Hundreds forced to spend the night in a | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
sports centre, after their homes are flooded. This morning trudging | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
through the water ` Billy came back for the first time ` to see what | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
state his home had been left in. It was horrendous, coming over the bank | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
on the far side, you could see it coming, and it was like a wall | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
coming through the gaps. You could see it in golfing the car that was | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
part down the side, there was no stopping it. Up the road ` many had | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
been forced to leave offices and abandon cars. This morning they went | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
back to check the damage. They are clearing the water, a second pump is | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
being brought in. The plight leading into the river where the water is | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
being taken. Looking down now, car stranded under the bridge, just one | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
of the number of vehicles that were flooded. A number of businesses have | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
also been flooded. With work still containing all around, by | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
mid`morning people were allowed back into their homes. It was actually | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
quite remarkable that they are able to do so so quickly when we are now | :05:48. | :05:59. | |
in a position where people are moving back Billy had just moved | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
into his house. And while his neighbours begin the clear`up and | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
meet with insurance assessors. He had to go off to work. Some | :06:07. | :06:26. | |
remarkable this is a van driver who near the waves are pushing the fan | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
around. The unidentified driver made it back to dry land unharmed but no | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
doubt shaken. To Whitby now ` where there's been a major clean up | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
following one of the town's worst ever floods. More than 100 homes and | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
commercial properties were hit by the deluge. Businesses were under | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
water and power was lost to many areas. And earlier today there were | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
fears of a fresh flood this evening, but the warning has since been | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
downgraded by the Environment Agency. Phil Connell has sent us | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
this report. It was the biggest tidal surge in 150 years and in | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
Whitby the this pub today the owner was beginning to count the cost. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Obviously devastating we expect because it has been the first time | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
in living memory that this was flooded. It is not one that with one | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
hour to go before high tide, if you could just see what was going it | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
around 200 homes and some were left under several feet of water. The | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
high tide was the biggest that people her cottage in a number of | :07:47. | :07:58. | |
seconds. My son was here when it was starting, he was upstairs and | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
somebody knocked on the door. The water came in and it was ankle`deep. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Within 20 seconds it was up to his knees. This morning, many in Whitby | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
were without power. The substation was inundated with sea water and | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
stopped working at around five o'clock last night. The simple fact | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
is we cannot tidy up the back of the premises because there is no light. | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
As the sun goes down we have no light. For people here, the clean`up | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
operation could take days if not weeks. Insurance claims from this | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
tone alone are expected to run into millions of pounds. `` town. In part | :08:46. | :08:59. | |
of Northumberland and Tyneside, businesses were flooded and people | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
were put on high alert leaving a big clean`up. In north Blyth in | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
Northumberland about 150 people were put on alert as the sea rose around | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
them. It was up to a foot deep in parts and homes were sandbagged | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
precaution. This morning, council staff cleaned up the aftermath. The | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Environment Agency says the surge was the biggest coastal event of the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
last sixty years ` and in some places sea levels were higher than | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
in 1953, when thousands of lives were lost. But for some people | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
living on the east coast of England the threat of high tides is still | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
not over, with more expected today and tomorrow. We will monitor the | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
situation of the next few high tides. We will continue to work with | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
people in terms of helping them stay safe and informed. We will also be | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
working with our partners and communities affected to help them | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
recover. We will try to understand what has happened so we can be | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
better prepared. Staff will be working throughout the weekend to | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
pump out water and assess damage at Gateshead Millennium Bridge, while | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
on Newcastle's Quayside there's been a remarkable transformation in the | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
landscape. The mopping up is continuing in businesses that were | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
inundated, when the river Tyne rose above its banks and flooded the | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
surrounding area, closing roads and footpaths. It was a rare event and | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
led to the evacuation of the law courts, but as quickly as the waters | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
rose, they fell again. Today the traffic is all moving as normal once | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
more and there's virtually no evidence of the floods at all ` at a | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
quick glance it looks like it never happened. | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
People across the North have been paying tribute to Nelson Mandela | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
It includes a man who was imprisoned North Yorkshire. | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
It includes a man who was imprisoned with the former South African | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
president. The former South African President was given the freedom of | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Newcastle in 1986. And one of the city's MPs has described the memory | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
of his life as a continuous strength. Our Political | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
Correspondent Mark Denten has this report. President of a country | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
thousands of miles away who millions saw their TVs. Italy have an impact | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
here? Yes, because some in our region knew him. This man was | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
imprisoned with Nelson Mandela in the 1950s . You could tell you were | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
speaking to a leader, and man of the people, and Nelson Mandela is what I | :11:35. | :11:48. | |
call a leader that does not lead at the back, he is with the front | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
line. This former Sunderland MP met Nelson Mandela, in countering a | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
statesman but one of humour and a soft not for the Queen. Got on very | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
well with the Queen. He once rang up directly, he was put through. Today, | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Richard is a County Durham businessmen, but in 1985 he was a | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
student and an activist. The apartheid police arrived in what | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
were then yellow vans, and bundled about a dozen of us into cages. They | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
took it to the security police headquarters in Durban, where we | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
were held and questioned for 12 hours. Many white South Africans | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
considered him to be a terrorist and were supportive of the races | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
legislation, but he won them over. As a politician, I tried to do what | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
is best for my constituents, but I don't think I succeed in making them | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
better people, whereas Nelson Mandela clearly looked for the good | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
in people, he reached out to the good in people and he found it. I | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
found myself standing up and singing the South African national anthem, | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
singing a song that was sung a lot, about the brave young men detecting | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
their motherland, and for Nelson Mandela, he protected his motherland | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
with forgiveness, love, care, and not allowing himself to treat his | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
oppressors in the way they treated him. An international figure, yes, | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
president of a far`away land, yes, but someone people in our region | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
felt they knew. And you can see that interview with the former Sunderland | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
MP and Africa Minister Chris Mullin ` as well as more reaction to Nelson | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
Mandela's death ` on Sunday Politics. That's on Sunday morning | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
at eleven on BBC One. You're watching Friday's Look North. Coming | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
up ` the weekend's sports news from Jeff. Plus: Do you want to buy a | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
piece of fashion history? The hoard of clothing worth at least ?100,000 | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
that's to go on sale to the public tomorrow. Another weather warning | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
full `` in the forecast. The inquest into the death of | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
Christopher Brown has heard prison records and police records relating | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
to the man who shot him didn't match. Mr Brown was killed by the | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
gunman Raoul Moat in 2010. The inquest was told that before Moat | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
was released from prison, he'd made threats against his former | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
girlfriend, Samantha Stobbart. But when a prison probation officer rang | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Northumbria Police to warn of the danger, the police had Miss Stobbart | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
listed only as an associate of Moat's ` and the records they DID | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
have, hadn't been updated to show she had changed address. It was at | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
that address at Birtley in Gateshead that Moat began his spree, shooting | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
her new boyfriend, Mr Brown, at close range and shooting and | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
seriously injuring Miss Stobbart. Cleveland Police say they're | :15:08. | :15:21. | |
becoming increasingly concerned for a missing 81`year`old man. Sydney | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Presgrave had taken a taxi on Wednesday from his home in Stockton | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
to the Middleton One Row area of Darlington. He was last seen near | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
the Devonport Hotel, walking in the direction of the River Tees. The | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
police say Mr Presgrave is in need of medication. A new survey on | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
hospital death rates shows mixed results for our region. A year ago, | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
a report from the medical researchers, Dr Foster, found the | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
North Cumbria Trust, which runs the hospitals in Whitehaven and | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Carlisle, to be one of a dozen trusts with "worryingly" high | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
numbers of people dying on the wards. Twelve months on, it's off | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
the critical list, but the County Durham and Darlington Trust is on | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
it. The operators of Newcastle Racecourse say they want to develop | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
an all`weather track that would incorporate the only floodlit | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
straight mile in the world. The ten million pound development would | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
include other improvements to facilities at the course, at | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Newcastle's Gosforth Park. The racecourse will launch a public | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
consultation in the new year to seek local reaction ` before submitting a | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
planning application to Newcastle City Council. | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
A hoard of vintage clothing uncovered after the death of their | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
elderly owner is to go on sale tomorrow. The surprise discovery | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
thought to be worth at least 100 thousand pounds was made by Vervia | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Todd's best friend after she passed away last year. The public will be | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
given the chance to buy a piece of fashion history at a special event | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
at the County Durham home she lived in. Our arts reporter Sharuna Sagar | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
has been to take a closer look. Vervia Todd sure loved shopping. But | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
it wasn't until she died at the age of 92, her best friend found out | :16:56. | :17:07. | |
just how much. It was astounding. I don't think I closed my most | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
properly for weeks. I think these dresses sum up everything we found | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
in the house. This is her mother's wedding dress. It took a year to | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
sort out a lifetime of clothing and accessories covering three floors of | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
Vervia's Houghton le Spring home. It's just incredible. You go from | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
one room to another and you see all these things but they were packed | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
away in boxes and did cases, trunks, draws, and it was just like opening | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
Aladdin Scaife. She would come back and put suitcases of clothes in the | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
attic. Some pieces have only been worn a couple of times, some have | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
probably never been worn. To give you an idea of how much of hoarders | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
she was, look at all these stockings still in their original packages and | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
unopened. She used to get these sent to her from Gibraltar. She was well | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
connected. The daughter of a dental surgeon, she served in the Army. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
After the war she became a civil servant until her retirement. But | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
she never married. Her fiance was killed in the Second World War. I | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
don't think anybody else measured up. Was she a Miss Faversham | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
character? Absolutely not. You would not find a more gregarious person. | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
But she had a private life, and her private life was the fact that she | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
adored shopping and pretty things. Towards the end of her life, Vervia | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
became virtually blind and deaf. But she still went on shopping | :18:55. | :19:06. | |
expeditions every week. She must have enjoyed being surrounded by | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
those beautiful things. My idea of having. | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
In the Premier League, Sunderland's head coach, Gus Poyet, comes up | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
against another of his former teams tomorrow when the Black Cats take on | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Spurs at the Stadium of Light. While Manager of the Month Alan Pardew | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
will have to make history if Newcastle are to beat Manchester | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
United at Old Trafford. Four straight wins in November including | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
victories over Chelsea and Spurs took Newcastle up to fifth in the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
Premier League and earned Alan Pardew the second Manager of the | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Month award of his career. And the goalkeeping heroics of Tim Krul saw | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
him pick up the Player of the Month award. But their winning run came to | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
an end in Swansea on Wednesday and they'll have to up their game if | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
they're to beat Man Utd even without the injured Robin Van Persie and | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
suspended Wayne Rooney ` they've never won at Old Trafford in the | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
Premier League. There is pressure on them and we need to capitalise on | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
that and make it difficult for them. If we can do that in the last period | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
of the game, we could reverse statistic that is not very good. Gus | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
Poyet has his second managerial test against one of his former clubs in | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
Spurs at the Stadium of Light tomorrow. The Black Cats may be | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
rooted to the bottom of the Premier League but if they do go down | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
they'll go down fighting ` three goals against Chelsea midweek still | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
wasn't enough to claim a point ` and it's frustrating the new boss. We | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
need to improve. We are in December. We have a great chance. It | :20:40. | :20:56. | |
is a dangerous situation. Flags were flying at half mast at the club's | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
academy and there'll be a minutes applause at all Premier League | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
grounds to remember Nelson Mandela but with Sunderland's partnership | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
with the Nelson Mandela Foundation the death of the former South | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
African president is particularly poignant. He was `` for us, it was a | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
must, a special occasion, and I think he deserves it because he was | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
one of the greatest. It's FA Cup weekend, with our Premier League | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
teams ` and Middlesbrough, who're away at Birmingham tomorrow ` in | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Sunday's third round draw. Carlisle and Hartlepool hope to be there as | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
well ` but, sadly, last night saw the end of the Cup trail for unlucky | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Gateshead. Having let slip a two`goal lead down at Oxford, the | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
worry was the Tynesiders might have missed their best chance. But they | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
took the game to the League Two leaders, and must be wondering how | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
their Cup campaign is over for another year. Gateshead had more | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
shots, more of the possession ` and looked the more comfortable side. If | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
there were any neutrals in a crowd of just over 2,000, they wouldn't | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
have guessed which team was a full two divisions behind the other. | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
Goalless after 90 minutes, the first round replay went into extra`time ` | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
and just when the Conference side thought they'd finally made the | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
breakthrough, an offside call cut short Colin Larkin's moment of | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
glory. James Marwood then cracked a shot against the post ` and the tie | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
seemed destined to go to penalties. But the crucial spot kick was | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
awarded with just five minutes left ` James Curtis ruled to have fouled | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Ryan Williams. Dean Smalley's confident finish means it's Oxford | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
who'll go to Wrexham in Round Two. Financially ` and purely in football | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
terms ` a huge disappointment for Gateshead. Tomorrow it's the turn of | :22:27. | :22:38. | |
Carlisle, who are at home to Brentford. And with a handful of | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
loan players unavailable, manager Graham Kavanagh could give a first | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
start to Courtney Meppen`Walter, the ex`Manchester City youngster who's | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
just finished a prison term following a road crash in which two | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
people died. We have options. We have Courtney, Danny Livesey, loads | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
of things I could do in terms of changing the shape and style. I have | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
ideas. Elsewhere, Hartlepool's home tie with Coventry City will bring | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
back happy memories for ex`Pools striker AND manager, Keith Houchen, | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
who scored when the Sky Blues won the Cup, back in 1987. There's a | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
local derby in the BBL this weekend, when Durham Wildcats take on | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
Newcastle Eagles at Newton Aycliffe. Despite losing to the Eagles on the | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
first day of the season the Wildcats pushed Fab Flournoy's side all the | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
way and have since won five of their eleven games to take them to the | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
seventh in the league. And in his first season as a top flight coach, | :23:27. | :23:35. | |
Lee Davie is aiming high. As long as we win the games we are supposed to | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
win, take some of these top teams into the last two minutes of games, | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
there is no reason why we couldn't be on for a chance of fifth place. | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
This Sunday is all about making sure we perform for 40 minutes. If we do | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
that there is no reason we cannot come away with a victory. Cricket | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
finally. Not much to cheer about, if you're an England fan ` we're taking | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
a bit of a beating from the Aussies. But a landmark today for Durham | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
all`rounder Ben Stokes. Born in New Zealand ` but raised in Cumbria ` | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
Stokes marked his Test match debut by taking the wicket of Australian | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
captain Michael Clarke ` unfortunately, Clarke already had | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
148 runs to his name! There was a second wicket for the 22`year`old, | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
who had Peter Siddle caught behind. He finished with figures of two for | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
70. Meanwhile, back at Chester`le`Street, it's been | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
announced that while Geoff Cook will stay on as Durham's Director of | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Cricket, he'll go back to concentrating on youth development. | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
Jon Lewis has been given the full`time role of first team coach, | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
having stepped in and helped steer Durham to the county Championship | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
title, when Cook suffered a heart attack last summer. What weather we | :24:37. | :24:48. | |
have had this week. We are in for a bit of cold stuff. It is ice that we | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
are warning for. Yellow warning. Overnight and until 10am. Beverages | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
did not rise above two Celsius across the north`east. As | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
temperatures. Everywhere will be chilly. This is a beautiful picture. | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
The headline for the weekend, it gets milder but thicker cloud. | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
Overnight tonight, showers and the West. These showers will meet the | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
cold air that we had today and could easily freeze on untreated surfaces. | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
Some showers will be windy. The low temperatures will be just below | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
freezing in towns and cities and possibly even colder in the | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
countryside. Frosty, icy start to Saturday, showers in the West but a | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
beautiful day developing for much of the north`east. Lots of sunshine | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
here but it will be feeling a little bit chilly. It gets milder by | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Sunday. Not quite as cold as it was today. Let's take a tour through | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
Saturday afternoon. Top temperature of six or seven Celsius for much of | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
Yorkshire. Bright spells and crucially lighter wind. It will feel | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
more pleasant than it has done full North words, it will be dry and | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
fine. In the West that will be more showery but not as cold. Very | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
different compare to today. More chance of a shower over Lakeland and | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
the Cambrian Coast. This is the big picture over the weekend, I pressure | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
to the south, some weak weather systems to the north. What will this | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
mean? Probably increasing cloud as we head into Sunday and some showers | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
in Cumbria in particular. Things look quite settled in the | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
north`east. High pressure is building towards the start of next | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
week and it will be much more settled. Let's take a look at the | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
detail across the towns and cities and villages. We are looking at a | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
gloomy day for much of the county. Spells of rain but notice the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
temperatures, much higher than they were today and most places will dry | :27:09. | :27:20. | |
out. Thanks, Hannah. Now for a last look at tonight's headlines. | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
Millions of people around the world are mourning the death of Nelson | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
Mandela. And the big clear up. People whose homes and businesses | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
were damaged in yesterday's storm and tidal surge are mopping up ` and | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
counting the cost. Millions of people around the world | :27:31. | :27:40. | |
are mourning Goodbye. | :27:41. | :27:45. |
