industry. We are back

:00:00.:00:10.

Good evening. It's emerged that staff on a passenger ferry forced to

:00:11.:00:15.

turn back to port after a fire broke out had already had to deal with

:00:16.:00:19.

another security alert ` a drunken brawl. The King Seaways was sailing

:00:20.:00:22.

from the Tyne to Amsterdam when the fire started in a cabin. More than

:00:23.:00:26.

1,000 people were aboard the ship. Six passengers were airlifted to

:00:27.:00:29.

Scarborough Hospital by RAF helicopters after breathing in

:00:30.:00:31.

smoke. Our Chief Reporter Chris Stewart has the story. What happened

:00:32.:00:37.

is still unclear but we've been told there had already been trouble on

:00:38.:00:41.

board ` with a fight involving a number of men who had clearly been

:00:42.:00:46.

drinking. Today that was confirmed as correct. We had a report about a

:00:47.:00:56.

fight on board. The crew also stopped it. It took some time. It's

:00:57.:01:05.

unpleasant when that happens. But we have guards on board who are trained

:01:06.:01:10.

to handle such situations. The ship is being made ready to sail tonight.

:01:11.:01:14.

People have been arriving in dribs and drabs. The options are to take a

:01:15.:01:20.

coach to Hull, and take another ferry, or cancel and get your money

:01:21.:01:25.

back. Among those sailing tonight is a singer, contracted to work

:01:26.:01:33.

onboard. I'm a little apprehensive. But they dealt with it fine. It

:01:34.:01:45.

shouldn't be a problem. I set out from Essex at 5am! The police

:01:46.:01:59.

investigation continues. A 26`year`old man was charged with

:02:00.:02:05.

arson and affray. A North Yorkshire company says it's

:02:06.:02:08.

working with police to try to find out how two ice cream cones made

:02:09.:02:11.

there became contaminated with pain relief tablets. The discovery was

:02:12.:02:14.

made in Tesco own brand chocolate and nut cones made by R R Foods of

:02:15.:02:18.

Leeming Bar. The Food Standards Agency is advising people not to eat

:02:19.:02:22.

the cones with best before dates up to and including July 2014. The firm

:02:23.:02:26.

says it's now resumed production after introducing CCTV and new

:02:27.:02:32.

measures to prevent contamination. A fire at a wood re`cycling company

:02:33.:02:35.

on Teesside could take up to another week to burn itself out. Thousands

:02:36.:02:39.

of tonnes of wood self`combusted last Monday at the Wilton site,

:02:40.:02:41.

causing smoke to blow across residential areas. Our Business

:02:42.:02:47.

Correspondent, Ian Reeve, reports. 16,000 tonnes of recycled wood has

:02:48.:02:50.

been ablaze at Teesside's Wilton site for a week now. The smoke is a

:02:51.:02:56.

constant presence, and often blowing over Grangetown and Redcar. We can

:02:57.:03:01.

only apologise. It's a real inconvenience for everybody. It's a

:03:02.:03:08.

case of working with the fire brigade and getting it under

:03:09.:03:10.

control. However, the fire is reducing. It's down by about 40%

:03:11.:03:15.

from its Friday night height. The tactic is to let itself burn out,

:03:16.:03:19.

possibly taking another week. We've had to take a defensive position,

:03:20.:03:26.

and allow it to burn out. We want to reduce the smoke being produced. If

:03:27.:03:32.

we pour water on it it will produce even more. In the interim, residents

:03:33.:03:37.

are being asked to do the sensible thing. The wood was destined for a

:03:38.:03:44.

power station at Wilton. But it's gone up in smoke rather sooner than

:03:45.:03:51.

it should have done. Now, he's just five years old ` and

:03:52.:03:55.

already marked out as a future World Champion. Beau Thirsk from County

:03:56.:03:57.

Durham practises snooker several times a week ` and he's about to

:03:58.:04:02.

team` up with one of the game's greats. Our reporter Amy Lea has

:04:03.:04:06.

been to meet him. Birtley Snooker Club ` and an afternoon with the

:04:07.:04:11.

cue. The perfect place for adult snooker enthusiasts to relax and

:04:12.:04:14.

enjoy a game or two. But perhaps not the place you'd expect to see a

:04:15.:04:18.

five`year`old... And a potential future World Champion at that! He

:04:19.:04:25.

makes us very proud. Even when he's just potting balls... I've seen it

:04:26.:04:29.

100 times but I'm very proud about what he can do at his age. Beau from

:04:30.:04:34.

Belmont in County Durham has been playing since he was two years old `

:04:35.:04:37.

and already he knows whose footsteps he'd like to follow in when he gets

:04:38.:04:44.

older. Stephen Maguire. Steve Davis. Mark Williams. I'm going to play

:04:45.:04:52.

with Steve Davis... Then Jimmy White. And that's what all this

:04:53.:04:57.

practice is for. In the new year, Beau will be teaming up with the six

:04:58.:05:01.

times World Champion Steve Davis for a very special snooker challenge at

:05:02.:05:04.

Spennymoor Leisure Centre in front of a live audience. For now though

:05:05.:05:10.

it's all just a bit of fun ` but who knows where it could all lead in a

:05:11.:05:24.

few years! A name to remember! Football, and Sunderland have

:05:25.:05:26.

confirmed they're signing Fiorentina and ex`Bolton left`back Marcos

:05:27.:05:29.

Alonso on loan until the end of the season. Meanwhile three of our

:05:30.:05:32.

leading clubs picked up victories over the weekend ` although there

:05:33.:05:35.

was no joy for Newcastle United, despite pushing Premier League

:05:36.:05:38.

leaders Arsenal all the way. It was a tight game at St James's with

:05:39.:05:42.

Moussa Sissoko and Mathieu Debuchy going close for the Magpies. The

:05:43.:05:45.

only goal came from Theo Walcott's clever free`kick, headed in by

:05:46.:05:49.

Olivier Giroud. Arsenal were hanging on near the end, with another France

:05:50.:05:52.

international ` Loic Remy ` going close... Painfully! The Sunderland

:05:53.:05:56.

striker Fabio Borini, who was taken to hospital at half`time during the

:05:57.:05:59.

2`2 draw at Cardiff is recovering well from a viral infection. The

:06:00.:06:02.

Black Cats are taking positives from the two late goals, which salvaged

:06:03.:06:05.

an unlikely point ahead of Wednesday's home game against Aston

:06:06.:06:09.

Villa. But what about new loan signing Marcos Alonso? He became

:06:10.:06:13.

available. He was happy to come here and help us. We're looking forward

:06:14.:06:19.

to him playing for us. Middlesbrough's head coach Aitor

:06:20.:06:21.

Karanka isn't getting too carried away by Boro's third win in a row.

:06:22.:06:25.

But goals from Albert Adoma and Grant Leadbitter, who scored in each

:06:26.:06:28.

half, have inched the Teessiders to within six points of the play`off

:06:29.:06:32.

places. A crowd 4,000 down on Boxing Day at Brunton Park saw Carlisle

:06:33.:06:36.

come from behind to beat ten`man Peterborough in League One. Two

:06:37.:06:40.

quickfire goals from David Amoo sealed an encouraging 2`1 win. And

:06:41.:06:45.

that was the same scoreline for Hartlepool, who took the lead at

:06:46.:06:48.

play`off hopefuls Morecambe through Jack Baldwin... Only to be pegged

:06:49.:06:51.

back near the end. But then they found an even later winner from

:06:52.:06:54.

Jonathan Franks. York, though, suffered a damaging 2`1 defeat at

:06:55.:06:58.

relegation rivals Bury. Two goals down at half`time, substitute

:06:59.:07:01.

Michael Coulson's effort was a mere consolation. The Minstermen are now

:07:02.:07:04.

only outside the bottom two on goal difference.

:07:05.:07:11.

Time now for the weather. It's been very stormy. That will continue. Bit

:07:12.:07:29.

of respite tonight, though. The clouds will thicken up. Overnight

:07:30.:07:37.

temperatures of four Celsius. Winds picking up. The showers will become

:07:38.:07:51.

widespread. Heavy bursts but most places bright enough. Temperatures

:07:52.:08:01.

stay in single figures. Peaking at nine Celsius. Blustery winds. If

:08:02.:08:12.

you're out tomorrow, the breeze will make it feel cold. New Year's Day

:08:13.:08:22.

sees more wet and windy weather. That's all for now. Goodbye.

:08:23.:08:39.

Another day off strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. At least things

:08:40.:08:45.

are quiet at the moment. The rain has cleared off and the wind is

:08:46.:08:50.

lighter. There might be some ice in Scotland, but through the night the

:08:51.:08:56.

wind picks up, lifting temperatures, but more heavy rain pushing in. The

:08:57.:09:01.

rain band is not quite a significant us today, but it will leave surface

:09:02.:09:07.

water flooding. Some heavy bursts clearing Northern Ireland by first

:09:08.:09:08.
