A building has partially collapsed and several houses have had to be | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
evacuated tonight after a sink hole opened`up in a North Yorkshire | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
street. The ground suddenly collapsed beneath a house just | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
before six o'clock this evening in Magdalene's Close in Ripon. Luckily, | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
there was no`one in the house at the time, but a dog was successfully | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
rescued from the building. Residents from adjoining houses have been | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
evacuated as a precaution and the area has been cordoned off by the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
police. A Fire and Rescue unit from Ripon are currently at the scene, | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
and mining experts are now on their way to assess the situation. | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
Our household returned to his house and realised there had been some | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
subsidence in his back garden. He could see large cracks have appeared | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
in the long and down the side of the house. Some of the house started to | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
move away from the main part of the building. We are going to secure the | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
scene now and make sure that the gas mains at isolated. The structural | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
engineers will have a good look during the light of day. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
It created a wave of anger ` and fears that lives could be put at | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
risk. Last month, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service announced more | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
than 130 job losses and the closure of three stations ` all in response | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
to a cut of ?9 million in Government grants. But today a reprieve and the | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Fire Authority's come up with revised plans. A short time ago, our | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Political Correspondent Mark Denten sent this report from one of those | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
threatened stations in Sunderland. This is Sunderland Central Fire | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Station. It is one of the fire stations that were due to close last | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
month. Today the same fire authority has issued a statement. It says it | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
has been listening to public concerns and it has made changes. | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
One of the changes will use ?6 million of reserves to cushion the | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
cats. The closures of fire stations like this one will only be made as a | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
last resort. Has that convinced the critics? No. I have been speaking to | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
the Fire Brigades union. It is a fudge. It is confused. There was an | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
option to save the fire stations for a minimum of three years. That | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
option was not taken. The fire service has not been protected. We | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
are left with confusion. The fire authority were not | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
available for interview on this subject tonight, but Labour MPs are | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
also angry, particularly the member for Sunderland Central. She has | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
issued a statement saying she is disappointed with the revised | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
statement from the fire authority and says it. Put lives in Sunderland | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
at risk. `` it will still put lives. Durham Police have been questioning | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
three men arrested in an armed operation last night in Darlington. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
The three, aged 30, 22 and 19, were detained in the town's Yarm Road, | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
after the van in which they were travelling was brought to an | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
enforced stop by officers. They're from different locations in | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
the North East, and are being held at separate police stations. A | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
police spokesman said today there were no injuries and went on to | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
reassure people in Darlington this was "an isolated incident." | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Police have launched a fresh appeal for information about the unsolved | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
murder of a man 18 years ago today. Kevin Nightingale, a club doorman | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
from South Shields, was shot on his doorstep after returning from work | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
on the 17th of February, 1996. Bob Cooper reports. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
He was only 33 and a father of two children. Described as a | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
lovely`natured man, who idolised his family. He was a lovely man. He had | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
a heart of gold. He would help anybody stop. But his life was | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
cruelly cut short, when someone shot Kevin Nightingale after work in | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
front of his family home. That was 18 years ago today. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Since then, his widow jury has been living in limbo. The longer it's | :04:28. | :04:41. | |
gone on the harder it is getting. We are waiting to see who did it. Why? | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Three people were charged in 2000 and then again 2001 for Mr | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Nightingale's murder, but the charges were dropped both times. Now | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
police are renewing efforts to find out who is responsible. Detectives | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
worked on the murder for several years. It is an opportunity with | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
advances in technology to have a look at everything and see if there | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
is anything new that can be done. Crimestoppers are also offering | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
?5,000 for information that might lead to a conviction. And if anyone | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
out there does know anything, jury Nightingale has this message for | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
them. If anybody knows anything at all, it | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
might be the tiniest piece of information, please come forward, | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
because it might mean a big deal to the police. | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
A public meeting's been held in York this evening on the controversial | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
issue of fracking. Representatives of Dart Energy, which holds the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
licence for fracking in the area, are meeting campaigners who are | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
against the idea. The process involves drilling deep underground | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
to extract shale gas. The Government says it'll create jobs and bring | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
cheaper energy in the future. Opponents say it damages the | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
environment. Tributes have been paid to the | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
former BBC Newcastle presenter, Frank Wappat, who's died on his 84th | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
birthday. Frank suffered heart failure at the Royal Victoria | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Infirmary in Newcastle this morning. He retired after a stroke in 2010, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
ending a 40 year career on the station. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Football, and Sunderland fans still don't know who they'll face in the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
quarter finals of the FA Cup. Brighton and Hull 1`1 tonight ` so | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
they'll have to replay to decide who the Black Cats will play in just | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
under three weeks' time. Well it's murky and damp, but it is | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
getting a fraction warmer. We'll take what we can get, Hannah Bayman. | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
take what we can get, Hannah Barely mild over the next few days. | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
Tomorrow we are expecting showers. First thing tomorrow quite misty. A | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
few showers to the West. In Northumberland one or two showers, | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
but there will be sunshine as well. Mostly dry on Wynnstay. `` wedding | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
stay. Wind and heavy rain return on Thursday. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
for the most part on Wednesday, it will turn | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Whilst across the whole of the country the general weather pattern | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
shows no signs of completely settling down there is some good | :07:48. | :07:48. |
