Hello. Welcome to Friday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Operation Sanctuary ` police investigating sexual exploitation on | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Tyneside say they now need to speak to 80 women and girls. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Calls for a college to apologise after mistakes were made which led | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
to a three`year`old girl dying at its nursery. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Jobs shock ` the impact of six hundred posts disappearing from one | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
market town in just a few months. And helped bring out the bonding for | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
a cycling event. Things will be a better different | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
over the weekend because of the high pressure. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
In sport, a big weekend for both our Premier League clubs. From Derby day | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
defeat to impossible dream. And can Newcastle be the first to | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
beat Mourinho at Stamford Bridge? And can the in`form Black Cats beat | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
their old boss Brucey on his return to the Stadium of Light? | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
Police investigating the sexual exploitation of girls and young | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
women on Tyneside say they now need to speak to 80 women. At least 15 of | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
them, they say, are the victims of sexual assault. Detectives working | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
on Operation Sanctuary have arrested 30 people on suspicion of conspiracy | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
to rape, that's 28 men and two women, at addresses in Newcastle, | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
Gateshead and South Tyneside. women, at addresses in Newcastle, | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Gateshead and South They describe the victims as vulnerable young | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
women, often under the influence of drink or drugs, who have been | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
groomed by older men over a period of time before being taken to | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
private houses where, it's suspected, they're subjected to | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
sexual assault or rape. women, often under the influence of | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Our news correspondent Adrian Pitches joins me now. Adrian, we | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
first reported on this operation nearly two weeks ago, so what are | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
the latest developments? What we have learned today is that initially | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
they were talking about 30 bit for witnesses. Today we are told 80. | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Almost three times as many. They are saying 15 victims have been | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
identified but they want to talk to another 65 young women and girls to | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
investigate these crimes. I spoke to the deputy Chief Constable this | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
morning. What is consistent so far in this investigation is that there | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
is a common factor that binds those victims together. That is their | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
vulnerability. Vulnerability about her chew of their age, in some | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
cases, but in many cases because of their susceptibility to grooming, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
there are addiction to alcohol or indeed other substances. So in many | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
cases, these are teenagers and women who live in a part of any community | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
across Newcastle, Gateshead and the whole area. Northumbria Police have | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
said throughout this investigation that no single group is responsible | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
for these crimes. Is that still the case? | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Any much so. What links these 30 arrests is basically despicable | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
behaviour. There from a variety of backgrounds, nationalities, right | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
across the area. It is very difficult to pinpoint one factor | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
which bounds altogether other than to say it is the appalling conduct | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
towards vulnerable women and girls that absolutely binds them | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
together. That is criminal and that is what this is about. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
And to help with the investigation, the police are enlisting taxi | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
drivers and owners of business premises? That is right. They have | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
been out handing out leaflets this evening. They have been at hotels, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
taxi drivers, take away that have actually been saying to these people | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
that they are their eyes and ears. "If you see the sort of behaviour, | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
reported to us." Beyond that, there are saying that there is a | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
collective responsibility of all others. If you see inappropriate | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
behaviour, something that looks wrong and feels wrong, it probably | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
is wrong and people should phone 101 and say they want to talk about | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Operation Sanctuary. There are calls tonight for York | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
College to say sorry for the mistakes which led to the death of | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Lydia Bishop, the little girl who died on her first day at its | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
nursery. Yesterday, nursery assistant Sophee Redhead was cleared | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
of all blame for the death of the three`year`old. But the jury found | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the college had failed to ensure the safety of children in its care. Now, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
a mother whose children went to the same nursery says the college should | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
apologise. John Cundy reports. Claire's children wear at the York | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
College Nursery the day Lydia tragically died. Strangled by a rope | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
wrongly left on a slide. Clear says shocked parents like ourselves were | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
kicked in the dark about what had happened. Then the College Nursery | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
shop, that support just stopped. We had a message to say that we had to | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
come and collect our belongings from reception and I turn up and there | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
was a carrier bag for each of my children and that was that. The | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
nursery shut immediately after the Lydia Bishop tragedy. It will now | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
every open. Now, the college faces fines or possibly tens of thousands | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
of pounds after a jury found the nursery had failed to ensure the | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
safety of children in their daily care. There is no apology to the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
girl's family. There is no apology to the staff, to the parents and the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
children. I am really angry with the college for that. Nursery assistant | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Sophie redhead was cleared yesterday by a jury of any blame in connection | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
with Lydia's death. I do not think Sophie should have been held | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
accountable for what happened that day. Somebody else did not do their | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
job properly. You know, and a little girl lost her life as a result. | :05:47. | :06:08. | |
A man accused of his wife's murder has told a jury he developed tunnel | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
vision and snapped, stabbing his wife after she told him she was | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
having an affair and wanted to leave him. Heather Arthur was stabbed in | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
the study of the couple's home in Gosforth in Newcastle, last April. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Her husband, Mark Arthur, 50, said his blood pressure rose and he heard | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
his own heart racing after she launched a tirade about his | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
character. He said his whole world collapsed in a second. He admits | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
manslaughter but denies murder. The trial continues. | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
A careworker has pleaded guilty to abusing elderly residents at a | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Cumbrian nursing home. Claire Strong, 20, from Penrith, admitted | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
three charges of ill treatment and wilful neglect when she appeared at | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
Carlisle Magistrates' Court. Mark McAlindon reports. | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Claire Strong, seen here leaving court, pleaded guilty to three | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
charges of ill treatment or neglect of residents at the Beacon Edge | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Nursing Home in Penrith. They happened on three separate | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
occasions, between January and June last year. It was revealed in court | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
that Strong had taken pictures of residents in humiliating | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
circumstances. Speaking on her behalf, Strong's solicitor said she | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
was highly immature and that her mother, also a care worker, was | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
appalled by her behaviour. It comes after an investigation was carried | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
out into behaviour at the nursing home last year. Two other people are | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
also facing a total of 18 charges between them. Chevonne Benson, 22 | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
and also from Penrith, faces seven counts of ill treatment or neglect | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
of residents at Beacon Edge. And William Bowman, 21 and also from | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Penrith, faces ten charges of ill treatment or neglect of residents at | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Beacon Edge. He's also charged with carrying out a sexual offence | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
against a woman in the Penrith area. Claire Strong will next appear at | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Carlisle crown court in March, while Chevonne Benson and William Bowman | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
face a plea and management hearing at the crown court in May. Mark | :07:53. | :07:57. | |

It's North Yorkshire's county town but it's reeling from 600 job | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
losses, all announced in just a few months. Today, Northallerton's Rural | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Payments Agency, which employed 350 people, closed its doors for the | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
final time. The local prison has also shut down. So where does the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
town go from here? Our political correspondent Mark Denten is in | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
Northallerton now. This is a town but it is a time | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
right in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside. 12,000 people | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
live here. The headquarters of the County Council is here and some very | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
famous teashops are just on the high street as well. But if you thought | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
that a big job losses only happen in the big cities, think again. They | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
are happening here and the heart. It is a bustling market town still | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
bustling this afternoon but battered also by a succession of job losses. | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
Just that bustling high street, a nearly empty car park tells the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
story. 350 workers used to process the farmers' grants at the rural | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
payments agency offices. 250 of them will do that in Europe from Monday, | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the rest took voluntary redundancy. The office shot. It leaves a great | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
big economic hole. 350 jobs in Middlesbrough wouldn't make the | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
difference it does in this time. We are so small. It will have an effect | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
on the retail side of the town. They could have looked right across the | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
entire agency for voluntary volunteers for voluntary redundancy | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
and saved cost that way, rather than crudely closer than others. While | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
the workers are moving out today, the thing is that this market town | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
has been hit by a succession of public sector job losses. You have | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
only got to walk over the road to find someone else which has also | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
been hit by job losses and the closure. The prison closed last | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
month. It is another empty site, with all told 600 public sector job | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
losses for a small market town. When a market town like this is relying | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
on jobs that nature and there is nothing to replace them, is there? | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Isn't hard finding work? It is hard for full`time work. A lot of it is | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
either part`time or just a few hours. So the challenge for the | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
planning people, what do you do with a big empty office and an empty | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
prison? These two sites are significant sized sites in the town | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
centre and they do offer a once in a generation opportunity to look at | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
redevelopment and free use of the sites. The Rural Payments Agency say | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
closing the building will save the taxpayer many millions of pounds | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
over the next decade. The MP around here is the Foreign | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
Secretary William Hague. He actually has his constituency office in the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
town. We asked for his comments on those job losses but he was not | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
available. I guess the dilemma for Mr Hague and indeed other local | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
politicians is this, too big empty buildings right in the centre of | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
this market town, where hundreds of jobs used to be. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
Mark, thank you for that. Some better jobs news now. The company | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
which took apart the so`called ghost ships has one a contract to | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
dismantle four North Sea oil and gas rigs. 200 jobs will be created at | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
Able UK's yard near Hartlepool over the six year life of the job. The | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
structures, owned by Shell, will be transported from the Brent field, | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
100 miles north east of Scotland. Our business correspondent, Ian | :11:59. | :11:59. | |
Reeve, reports. This is the yard best known for | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
dismantling the so`called ghost ships. Four former US Navy ships | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
were taken apart here, amidst much sound and fury and claims of | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
toxicity and mounds of asbestos. But a new contract win here will be far | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
less contentious ` four oil rigs to take apart. It will be a six`year | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
contract. In addition to that, we have over ?20 million worth of | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
preparation work on the site right now. That'll be about 18 months and | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
instructors will be brought in in about a year in the summer. `` the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
structures. Coming into the yard near Hartlepool, the rigs will be | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
quite a sight, loaded in the North Sea on to the world's biggest | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
lifting vessel. It will also be something of a homecoming. In the | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
1970s, some of the biggest oil and gas rigs to make their way to the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
North Sea fields were built here. 2000 people worked in the yard at a | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
time of prosperity in Hartlepool. Johnny and Derrick worked in the | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
yard and cashed in. Islet the other job. I have been there many years | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
and I got my three weeks' wages. I got ?2500 redundancy when it | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
finished. I was a rich man! The workforce got very, very good money. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
They certainly were not shy about paying good money to get the right | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
people in. It was a time where people were happy going to work. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
They knew it the end of the shift they would take a lot of money home. | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Today's contract win will create 200 jobs. Not quite the number the yard | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
hit in its heyday but with hundreds of North Sea rigs needing recycling, | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
it could be a start. Its critics dub it the bedroom tax | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
and claim it's hurting the most vulnerable in society. But the | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Government says by removing what it calls the spare room subsidy it's | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
saving the taxpayer millions. Either way, the introduction of housing | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
benefit reform last April proved highly controversial in this region, | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
with around 40,000 families facing a cut. But the reform has affected | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
tenants in different ways. Some have lost out. Others have got a better | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
home as a result, as our political reporter, Luke Walton, has been | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
finding out. For Jean Lowes, this two bedroom | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
flat in Stockton has been home for more than 20 years. But under the | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
new rules, it's seen as too big for her needs. So despite being out of | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
work, she's taken an ?11 a week cut in her housing benefit. I have found | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
myself not being in a position to put food on my table as easily as I | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
could. By accessing a local food bank occasionally, where I have been | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
given a bag with some tea bags in it, bread, sugar, coffee etc and the | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
basics, that enables me just to be able to breathe a bit more easily. | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Jean says she tried but failed to find a one bedroom flat. But | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Sunderland mum Stacey Lough has been on the move. She's upsized to a | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
house with a garden as part of a home swap in which other tenants | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
with spare rooms went somewhere smaller. And like the Government, | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
she believes reform was justified. I can understand the frustration from | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
people that are having to move. Obviously there are having to leave | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
houses that they have lived in for a number of years due to this but | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
people like myself and growing families need that extra space and | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
would have had to wait a much longer period of time to benefit and get a | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
bigger house. But some housing associations in the | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
region complain they don't have the smaller properties for tenants to | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
move to, with one bedroom homes in short supply. Ministers may insist | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
the benefit bill had to be tackled. But ten months on from its | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
introduction, this attempt to cut it still divides opinion. | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
And there's more on this story on Sunday Politics at 11am on Sunday, | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
here on BBC One. With the eagerly`awaited Tour de | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
France coming to North Yorkshire in July, people have been encouraged to | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
take up...no, not cycling ` knitting. The local authority in | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
Harrogate has called on the public to make thousands of mini jerseys | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
which can be used as bunting along the route. Our reporter Jonathan | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Swingler has been to one shop which, they're pleased to report, has been | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
selling an awful lot of wool. People here have been busy. As an | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
activity. It might not be as tiring as doing the Tour de France. But the | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
2,000 of these made so far will brighten up the route. We have just | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
been totally overwhelmed by the response we have had and it is | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
fantastic that everybody wants to be part of this exciting thing coming | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
to Yorkshire. What is really nice is that we can put our own Yorkshire | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
spin on it. This is the county where we live in will heritage. That is | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
what this county is all about. So it is fantastic that we can put a | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
Yorkshire spin on the Tour de France. | :17:11. | :17:11. | |
Mind you, once they have the predicted 7,000 jumpers fluttering | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
in the wind, isn't our weather going to trash them? We are actually doing | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
tests at the moment and checking for how much the cord actually sags and | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
to make sure that we have got the fastenings correct. We have been | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
inundated with these ones, not too difficult to make, apparently. These | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
ones however our little bit more difficult. Not many have tried to | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
make the King of the Mountains jumper. This customer is going to | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
have a go at knitting a few though. I will struggle on! They would like | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
to see some more male volunteers. Graeme is definitely in a minority. | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
I think there is probably about four male knitters in the whole | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Harrowgate saw the rest of them are women. Why is that? I think in | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
England it is predominantly a lady' craft. I know that in Europe a lot | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
of men met very well. `` mitt. They've had people sending jumpers | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
in from as far away as Switzerland and Canada. If you fancy making a | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
few yourself, you've got until March ten to get the needles and wool out. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Jonathan Swingler, BBC Look North, Harrogate. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
One of those might fit me! Newcastle United have been fined | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
?20,000 for that part `` their part in the problem at the end of the | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
game at Norwich. It is not going to get much better. | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Reserve team manager Willie Donachie followed director of football Joe | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Kinnear out of St James Park last night. He resigned amid allegations | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
that he hit one of his young players, Remie Street, after the | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
under`21s were beaten by Sunderland. Not ideal preparation for a club | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
facing the near`impossible task of trying to bounce back from another | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
derby defeat against a Chelsea side who've never lost in the league at | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
Stamford Bridge under Jose! Newcastle have beaten Chelsea this | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
season, back in November at St James' Park when they put two goals | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
past Jose Mourinho's side. But that was when the Magpies had Yohan | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Cabaye, whose brilliant free kick was converted by Yoan Gouffran. The | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
second from Loic Remy a minute from time rounded off a famous victory. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Tomorrow Alan Pardew will be without all three of those key players ` | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
Cabaye sold, Gouffran injured and Remy suspended. Add to that | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Chelsea's unbeaten home record under the special one and Alan Pardew | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
knows they'll be up against it. They expect to win. They have the | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
confidence that they expect to win. If you do not concentrate for 90 | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
minutes, they will win. If you can concentrate and do your job and for | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
a goal for it, that is the big problem going to Chelsea. It is not | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
about parking the bus, it is certainly about offering a threat. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
But you do need to defend well. That's made all the more difficult | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
with the absence of injured captain Fabricio Coloccini and it's | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
difficult to see where Newcastle's goal threat will come from for a | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
side still reeling from the derby defeat. But they havent given up | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
yet. We have managed to do things this season that people did not | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
expect. So we will be going there Ousely a little bruised and battered | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
after the result but ultimately, you know, if you look at the bigger | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
picture, you know, there is three points to have and a fresh 90 | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
minutes to play. We Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has been named | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
Player of the Month today and Gus Poyet hopes his good form will | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
continue against Hull City tomorrow. They're just one place above the | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
Black Cats and that's on goal difference. It's a huge game for | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
both sides in the battle to avoid relegation and as Andrew Hartley | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
reports, it means a return to the Stadium of Light for Steve Bruce for | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
the first time since getting the sack two years ago. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
If Sunderland's three goal trouncing of Newcastle United at St James' | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
Park last Saturday was the high`water mark of Gus Poyet's time | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
at Sunderland. Then last November's 1`0 defeat at Hull City was probably | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
his lowest point. It was the ugliest of beatings, one that seemed to | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
confirm to all but the most optimistic of Sunderland fans that | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
their side were already doomed, even though the clocks had only just gone | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
back. An own goal and two red cards, as the Black Cats suffered their | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
eighth loss in the first ten games of the season. But just one defeat | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
in the last nine league matches has propelled Sunderland out of the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
relegation zone. And Poyet believes the seeds of his side's climb up the | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Premier League were sown during that defeat at Hull. We played more than | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
35 minutes and we did not consider, OK. And on top of that, we had a | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
good chance with Johnson. Then you take a point and you become probably | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
one of the most famous games in your life. And that showed me that there | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
were things that we were able to do in that game. | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Back to the Stadium of Light since his sacking is former Sunderland | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
boss Steve Bruce, who brings a Hull City side to Wearside every bit as | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
desperate for the points as his former charges. You have to be fair | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
to glass, he has done a fantastic job in difficult circumstances. They | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
have had a hell of a run. They are probably the best team in the bottom | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
of the division so we know what to expect, a big game and big occasion | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
for both sides. Geordie Steve Bruce isn't the only one who can expect a | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
warm Makem welcome at the Stadium of Light tomorrow. Former Newcastle | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
keeper Steve Harper will be between the sticks for Hull. I made get a | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
bit of stick, a manager coming back! They're all coming back to | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
Sunderland as well. Inform Sunderland. We need a result as | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
well. A win tomorrow could put Sunderland into the top half of the | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
table, a fact that tells you as much about the tight nature of the | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
relegation battle as it does about Poyet's side's remarkable turnaround | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
since that dark day in November. Middlesbrough have a tough game | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
against fellow play`off hopefuls Blackburn. Boss Aitor Karanka is | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
hoping former Boro player Danny Graham, who's returned to the club | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
on loan, can start to reproduce some of the form that once made him one | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
of the Championship's most feared strikers on his Riverside return. | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
Meanwhile, struggling Carlisle take on Gillingham at Brunton Park in | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
need of a victory. Graham Kavanagh's side are just three points above the | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
relegation zone. I am sure they will cause one or two problems but, you | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
know, we played them down there. We did not play anywhere near to our | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
maximum. It was a game and somebody was sent off and we got done on the | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
penalties are we feel we owe them one and with any luck, we can come | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
in and probably not lose. It is a different approach maybe we have to | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
take but one you're very much looking forward to. | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
In League Two, York City have a real six pointer against Cheltenham. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
They're two of three sides on 35 points, along with Hartlepool who | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
have a tough away tie at Dagenham, and Redbridge, who are pushing for | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
the playoffs. Match commentary on your local BBC Radio Stations. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Newcastle Falcons are back in Premiership action this weekend with | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
a tough trip to third`placed Bath. The Falcons haven't beaten Bath | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
since 2009 and lost to them on the opening day of the season. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Argentinian international centre Gonzalo Tiesi makes his long`awaited | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Premiership debut for the Falcons after recovering from the injury he | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
picked up in the Autumn internationals. You know, they are a | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
top three side and they're going to finish up there and it will be | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
really competitive this year. Our point of view, we have studied and | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
met on occasions but I think we are getting a style that we really want | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
to take. It has taken a while to get there but we are going to be all | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
right. It is interesting that the weather conditions will be almost | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
exactly the same as the first game of the season. It is going to be | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
really wet and windy down there. It will be a hard game but we're | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
looking forward to it. It is a real challenge. | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
I think the weather will play a big part in that game. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
It will. It has been a bit wet and wild this week for us but not as bad | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
as that? It has turned a bit unsettled here | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
but nothing like some other parts of the country are having to put up | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
with. It was a decent day for most others. A calm looking day here. | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
Thank you for this picture. It is a bit of a different story for the | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
weekend. No pressure comes in and it will bring us some showers, longer | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
spells of rain and gusty winds, especially on Saturday. Those winds | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
will make it feel cold. Tonight, we sort of dry. That first band of rain | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
is spreading from the West through the evening. It spread right across | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
the region and might bring some Hillsborough. Through the early | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
hours of the morning, the more rain clears away and we get some drier | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
interludes. `` might bring some hill snow. We will stay frost`free | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
because that wind eggs up strong. A strong, southerly wind picking up | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
throughout the night. Tomorrow morning, it is a mostly dry start. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
If you broke spells in the east with one or two showers and as we head | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
into the afternoon, they start to merge together. Some will be real | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
downpours would heal and thunder and again, all for the tops of the | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
hills, there will be some snow. By the end of the afternoon, the | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
showers will become a bit more scattered. We will start to see a | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
few drier interludes. Most others will see some heavy rain at times. | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
Temperatures like today. Unlike today, there are strong, very gusty | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
southerly winds and they will make it feel colder if you are out and | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
about. It is this weather front that is bringing of that band of rain | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
overnight tonight. It is driven by this Atlantic low pressure system. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
The weather front extends back to give of that second batch of rain | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
tomorrow afternoon. That low pressure stays in charge of the | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
weather to the weekend also but you can see the lines beginning to open | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
on the charts. Less windy and the showers will maybe not be as | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
widespread on Sunday. If you are out and about, I think most places will | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
see some heavy bursts of rain at times. There will be one or two | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
brighter interludes, especially in the east and especially through the | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
morning. Similar figures for Sunday. By that time, the showers should be | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
coming less widespread and Les Hedley and the winds of it later. We | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
will keep you updated throughout the weekend on how the weather is | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
shaking up on the radio. If you are out and about on the move, maybe | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
moving further afield, you can get the latest information on the free | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
BBC weather app. Now we are willing to separate, of course keep February | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
weather pictures coming send them to the usual address or check out the | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
website to see exactly what we are after. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
IQ very much. That is that from us. A bit of doom and gloom! Sorry about | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
that. Some good news just in, it is Friday night! Unless you are on the | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
late news, the weekend starts here. Have a good weekend. Goodbye. | :27:39. | :28:24. | |
