struggled with an Australian barrage all tour. Let's hope this guy has a | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
lot Good evening. We start with a very | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
happy Christmas at the double. We told you in October about twins Luke | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
and Ryan who survived against all the odds. Mum Adele had all kinds of | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
serious complications when she was pregnant. The boys were then born | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
incredibly early. And a bed shortage meant Luke was in hospital in | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Gateshead while his twin was in hospital in Middlesbrough. Now | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
though, they're finally at home together to enjoy a Christmas they | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
don't think will ever be bettered. Our Chief Reporter Chris Stewart | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
went to their home at Newcastle to meet them and witnessed something | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
very special indeed. If there is a better Christmas | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
present, we would love to hear about it. Because it is remarkable these | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
two are here at all. All kinds of problems meant they were operated on | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
to save their lives whilst still in the womb. Then they were born ten | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
weeks early. So did mum and dad think Christmas would ever be so | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
happy? I didn't. Once I knew they were born, then I thought, yeah, we | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
will get them home. But up until that point, you just didn't know. | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
My pregnancy, I just zoned it out. I never thought this day would come. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
I would not buy anything for them. I just never believed I would have | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
them both. At 17 weeks old, Luke still has to be fed oxygen 23 hours | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
a day. But he is up to eight pounds. Ryan is a couple of pounds heavier. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
That might have accounted for this. Yeah, he... Did you see that? That's | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
a smile! Ryan's very first smile. Hiya! And two minutes later, | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
unbelievably, Luke decided it was time for his first smile too. Look. | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
Oh! SHE LAUGHS. Hey! Well, they like being on camera, don't they? | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
And to be honest, we haven't stopped smiling either. I can't believe | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
that's happened! LAUGHTER. Fantastic. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
The police are continuing their search for a 65`year`old woman who's | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
now been missing from her Northumberland home for five days. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Janis Hall, who's 65, was reported missing from her home at Catton near | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Hexham last Thursday. Extensive searches have been carried out | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
around the village and surrounding areas of Tynedale. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
The bad weather's continuing to cause disruption in parts of the | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
region. Homes and businesses in West Cumbria have been clearing`up after | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
overnight flooding. Today, high winds have been causing problems for | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
travellers as Graham Moss reports. Sandbags, the tell tale sign. The | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
flood water came quickly and almost as swiftly subsided. Here in | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Whitehaven, as well as Distington and Egremont. Torrential. Water | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
everywhere you look, from every direction. Just coming out of walls. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
It was coming down Wellington Road at about a rate of 30`40 mph. You | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
could not even stand up on it. It was awful. Repeated downpours have | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
left the ground waterlogged and rivers swollen. While the worst of | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
the heavy rain may have gone, for the time being, the problem now | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
strong winds. The weather continues to cause problems over the Christmas | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
holiday period. Comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
guest edited today's edition of The Northern Echo. The pair are starring | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
in panto in Darlington and made the short trip across town to the | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
paper's offices yesterday. They picked their favourite jokes and | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
selected the front page story. Some parts had a bit of snow | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
earlier, but I think that's all the white stuff we're getting for now. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Good evening. Very windy conditions with the risk of gales into this | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
evening, so we still have a weather warning for wind in force. Also a | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
fair few showers continuing to push southwards, bringing wintry | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
conditions in places, but clearing away southwards. An improvement | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
towards the end of the night, most places seeing drier conditions | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
developing. And the frost with temperatures falling back to around | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
two or three degrees. There could be the odd icy stretch into tomorrow. | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Christmas Day itself looks largely dry and fine. A lighter breeze, | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
feeling chilly if you're out and about. Around six or seven degrees. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
And finally, a church in York's been told it can keep ?100,000 left on a | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
doorstep in a bin bag. The bag was found in August, prompting a police | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
investigation. A court's now awarded the money to St Thomas and St | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Maurice. And that's all from us. We get the day off tomorrow. But I'll | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
be back with our next update at one o'clock on Boxing Day lunchtime. It | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
just remains for me to wish you a very happy and peaceful Christmas | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
and have a good evening. Goodbye. it from us - we are back on Boxing | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Day at One o'clock. Merry Christmas. Hello. The weather has been a little | :05:03. | :05:15. | |
kinder today to travellers and last-minute Christmas shoppers | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
across England and Wales. Not as bad as we feared across Northern | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Ireland. We have a warning out across parts of Scott and for that | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
strong wind through this evening. Up to 80 miles an hour across the far | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
north of Scotland for a | :05:35. | :05:36. |
