so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
teams Good evening, and welcome to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Monday's Look North. Tonight: Is it time to decriminalise heroin? | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
One of our chief constables says it's the only way to win the war | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
with the drugs gangs. We've a special report. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
On trial. Former Newcastle united striker Nile Ranger appears in court | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
accused of raping a woman in a hotel. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Up to 7000 new jobs are promised as a details are revealed of a new | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
airport business park. And we begin our series on World War | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
One at home ` looking at the Northumberland trenches, dug by | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
recruits training for war. There are taught the things you don't want to | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
hear in your career, and one is we are going over. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
In sport, so near and yet so far for our bobsleigh team at the Winter | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
Olympics. But it's never too late to score a | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
goal at St James's ` a priceless goal for Pardew and co! | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
Tonight, a call for a rethink on our drugs policy which many will find | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
extraordinary. And it comes from one of our top police officers. Mike | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Barton, the Chief Constable of Durham, says he wants to see the | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Government provide free heroin for addicts. Speaking publicly on the | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
subject for the first time, he says it's the only way to beat the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
criminal gangs which import and distribute the drug ` because it | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
will take away their income. For tonight's Inside Out, Mr Barton | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
authors a special film which took him to Copenhagen ` where a scheme | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
already offers addicts freedom from prosecution. Our Chief Reporter | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
Chris Stewart went with him. It is a stance which will | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
undoubtedly make him unpopular with many politicians, but he says the | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
money we spend on locking up drug addicts would be better spent on | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
trying to help them recover, which led to the fact`finding mission to | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Denmark. I'm here to see is a stance which will undoubtedly make him | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
unpopular with many politicians, but he says the money we spend on | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
locking up to Alex would be better spent on trying to help them | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
recover, which led to the fact`finding mission to Denmark. I'm | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
here to see some indifferent. Addicks are given free injection | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
kits in a safe environment. He once go much further than that, as well | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
as a safe environment like that available to Alex, he wants to | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
provide free heroine, and he says Addicks like 22`year`old Anneka help | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
prove his point. What will help you stop? I don't know. I have been | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
through a lot of death. I thought I would not wake up. I don't get | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
scared of it. I hope there comes a time when I feel I want to be clean. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
She was introduced by drugs I her own father. Mr Barton says the | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
Danish state already helps fund her habit. She isn't part of a much | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
bigger problem. She blows ?600 that you get on the state every month on | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
drugs, and gives it to her drug dealer. What I'm suggesting is that | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
?6 to towards her public, so she is free from drugs and we should | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
require the herring and take the ?600 out of the drug dealer's | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
pocket. Mr Barton also faces one of his biggest critics. What is the | :03:32. | :03:45. | |
answer? I'm advocating the proceeds of the possessors of drugs. About | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
one, anyone is caught, they are prosecuted and found guilty. It is | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
did deter people from drugs. This is what you do not do. He knows a good | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
it is own staff, but he says an angry debate is better than no | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
debate. And Chris Stewart is with me now. If | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
the government did take up Mr Barton's plan, the cost would be | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
enormous, wouldn't it? You are right. On the other hand, heroine | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
users are in out of prison and prison costs ?35,000 per year for | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
inmates. Add to that the cost of catching them, and the cost of | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
prosecuting them, and individual cost of victims of the crimes these | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
people often commit. Suddenly it doesn't seem so straightforward. Why | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
is he the only Chief Constable saying this? Chances are he is not | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
the only one. He is only one saying publicly. It is inconceivable that | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
42 of the constables disagree with the man who runs Durham. It is worth | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
pointing out he does have the full support on this issue from his | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Commissioner. Ron Hogg was also a former Chief Constable, Deputy Chief | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
Constable who dealt with drug gangs. Well you can make up your own mind | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
about Mike Barton's proposals ` by watching Inside Out tonight on BBC | :05:07. | :05:07. | |
One at 7.30pm. The former Newcastle united player | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
Nile Ranger has gone on trial accused of rape. The 22`year`old | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
striker, who is appearing before Newcastle Crown Court, denies the | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
charge. Andrew Hartley reports. Nile Ranger played for Newcastle | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
united until March last year. He arrived at Crown Court. It was told | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
that Mr Ranger and as victim had been friends. They have been in | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
contact by text. They met at the Empress bar on a Tuesday night in | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
January last year. The court heard that the woman remembers dancing and | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
drinking for the first hour of their date, but has no memory of what | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
happened after that, until she woke the next morning in a bed in a hotel | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
room in Newcastle with Mr Ranger lying next to her. The jury was | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
shown CCTV footage of the woman and Mr Ranger arriving at this hotel in | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
the Jesmond area of Newcastle in the small hours of Wednesday morning. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The prosecution says the photo shows that the woman fell out of the taxi | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
and was left lying on the pavement for some time, good for Mr Ranger SS | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
at her into the hotel stop it is claimed this footage showed the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
woman was incapacitated through drink or drugs. The court heard that | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Mr Ranger and admits having sex with the woman, but says physical contact | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
was totally consensual. He denies the charge of rape and the trial | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
continues. Heavy rain's caused problems with | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
flooding in Cumbria. In Carlisle, a flood warning was in place on the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
River Eden ` after it burst its banks ` making the road through | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
Rickerby Park impassable. Firefighters also pumped water from | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
a close in Ellenbrough where three homes were affected. Standing water | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
also caused problems on the A595 near Cockermouth. And two golf | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
courses in Carlisle were underwater. Up to 7000 new jobs. That's the | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
claim by Newcastle Airport today, as it revealed the first details of a | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
new business park. The initial phase of the development will see six new | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
offices created on land close by. And, as our Political Editor Richard | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Moss reports, today it got the backing of a government minister. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
The view is impressive. But there should soon be even more to see from | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Newcastle Airport's control tower. A new business park is planned close | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
by. The first phase will see six office blocks built, housing up to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
1000 people. It's hoped the park will eventually employ 7000. It's a | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
plan that got the backing of the Scarborough MP and aviation | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
minister. It is a thriving airport, it is going places. It has flights | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
to Dubai and they are optimistic on having flights to the USA. It is a | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
good example of how an effective regional airport can be part of the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
whole local economy. And for the airport managers, the business park | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
is not a diversion from its main purpose, but something that shows | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
it's weathered the downturn and is ready to spread its wings. When the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
crash came in 2008, we lost money, but we are growing now. As well as | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
growth last year, we have accelerated growth this year and we | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
believe the property market is search within the north`east that | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
the timing of this launch is right. And for the minister, this was a | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
chance to see another money spinner for the airport, its fire safety | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
training academy. But the airport has also been pushing the government | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
to cut air travel taxes to help it attract more flights. On that he was | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
less encouraging. I know it is a content is issued by local flight to | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
London it is ?40 tax cut. The point is that we don't charge VAT on quite | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
as some countries do. Certainly any of those representations are passed | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
through to the Treasury, and I'm sure Mr Osborne will be considering | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
them as he plans his budget. But despite that airport managers are | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
confident that its expansion plans mean it's a business that remains on | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
the up. Well staying with jobs and aviation | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
` and the government's thought to be on the verge of ordering a fleet of | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
new combat aircraft ` which will bring huge benefits to a company | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
from County Durham. The order could be worth around ?2.5 billion ` | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
securing 24,000 jobs nationally, including some here in the region. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports. | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
This is the stealth and combat jet the Ministry of defence is on the | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
cusp of a ring. It is American but the government tell us it is good | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
for UK manufacturing. This will bring jobs to companies like this | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
one in Durham. They'll supply engine parts. It is a prestigious project. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
There has been a lot of design work. We have created some of our products | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
which are unique, and are manufactured nowhere else in the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
world. We provide something which is distinct to that programme. 500 UK | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
companies were built 15% of the new jet, because to operate in the | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
region. This one of the paint company. But Steve, 23 years in this | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
business he attributed his involvement to become an ever | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
sophisticated. This machinery makes things easier than it. If if you go | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
way back, to make a tool for eight Ascot, you haven't a file stuff | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
down, where as now we have a machine which can cut to within inches. As | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
long as I finish my college work and get it all done, it should be all | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
right to stay on here. More than 3000 F 35 's will be built and sold. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
Each boasting something made in this tiny part of County Durham. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
You're watching Monday's Look North. Teamtalk is coming up, and a look at | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
how at how rural Northumberland played a vital role training | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
soldiers for world war one. Plus the children who'll be getting VIP | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
treatment at Sunderland's Wembley final this weekend. The last 24 | :11:22. | :11:33. | |
hours have given us high rainfall. Find out over the next few days | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
later in the programme. Now: Today sees the start of "World | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
War One At Home", a project carried out in partnership between the BBC | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
and Imperial War Museums. Over the next few days we have stories from | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
across the Northeast and Cumbria, uncovering tales of our part in the | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
war effort. In this first special report, Gerry Jackson explores the | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
poignant traces of practice trenches, dug in Northumberland by | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
raw army recruits ` as they waited to be sent overseas. | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
High on the Northumberland moors, we're on the trail of men who came | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
here a century ago for their first taste of war. This has been soldier | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
country for a long time. The army bought 20,000 acres of land near | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Otterburn just before the First World War. Then, as now, the army | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
brought its recruits here to toughen them up. It looks like it must have | :12:29. | :12:40. | |
looked, 100 years ago. It is just surviving a fear which is hard work. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Training on top is even harder work. You don't want to hear in your | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
career that we are going over the top. When Kitchener made his famous | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
call to arms, the government hoped 100,000 men would join up. Within | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
four months a million had come forward. It is a believe these new | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
recruits were stuffed into uniform and sent overseas, but the army was | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
determined to train them properly. That could take up to a year, and | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
involved discipline and digging. They dug in public parks, the | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
grounds of stately homes and on army ranges like Otterburn. And here, the | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
traces of their labours are still preserved. The trenches cover an | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
area only the size of a couple of football fields, but they're a | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
history lesson etched in the landscape. It has been said that the | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
more trenches dug in England than there were on the Western front. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
This trench is a life`saver. This is the real McCoy. It would have been | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
two and a half metres deep. They had to get this training right, because | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
we're about good realistic training, they wouldn't be prepared | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
for what was facing them in the actual theatre of war. Today's army | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
uses this vast expanse as an artillery range, just as it did back | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
then. It is in the area. It is rumoured they were firing over as | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
they were digging, so they have the experience of having shells and | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
gunfire done over the top as part of their training. Would it have been a | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
hard life? Finally the soldiers, volunteered and all gung ho, and | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
then they come here in the middle of the night. It might have dawned on | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
them all of a sudden. These wartime fragments are classed as a scheduled | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
ancient monument. Their very inaccessibility has probably helped | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
to conserve them. Now, 100 years after young men prepared here for | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
the hell of the Western Front, the military says protecting this is a | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
tribute to that generation. Can you see this being here for another | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
hundred years? Without a shadow of a doubt. We will make sure it is kept | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
in this condition. Some of the men who did this perhaps did not come | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
back. You have to realise that. It is poignant and there is something | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
we should cherish. Not just for ourselves, but for future | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
generations. And there'll be a World War One at | :15:43. | :15:46. | |

It's every fan's dream to see their team play in a Cup final at Wembley | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
` and for thousands of Sunderland fans that will come true this | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
weekend. But even better to experience it in the luxury of an | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
executive box. Well for five children in Sunderland, whose lives | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
are harder than most, that dream is about to become a reality, as Bob | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Cooper reports. Life isn't much fun when you are | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
sick. These five children all have serious illnesses, but on Sunday | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
they'll be living it up in an executive box as the Black Cats take | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
on Manchester City in the League Cup final at Wembley. I think the score | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
is going to be 2`0 to us. I hope Sunderland are going to win, and win | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
the trophy. Jackie has a condition called DiGeorge syndrome, which | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
affects mainly his heart, his immunity. He has eating difficulties | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
and his learning and development. When we got the phone call last | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
week, he was on cloud nine and so was I, because he is having a treat | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
of a lifetime. This special treat is courtesy of the Wells Sports | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Foundation, which runs a scheme to send children with health problems | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
on VIP trips to sporting events. These kids deserve a day out. They | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
are just fantastic and really appreciate it. These children really | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
are looking forward to it. Rebecca, who has an eating disorder, hopes | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
this trip will give her a boost. Hopefully it is a turning point. I | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
don't want to be in hospital anymore this year, Hopefully this is a good | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
sign. The kids all up for the Cup there, | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
but the players had to try to focus on the league this weekend ` and it | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
wasn't plain sailing for any of our clubs ` it's time for Teamtalk! | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
It was relief as much as anything for Newcastle yesterday as they | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
ended a run of four successive home league defeats by beating Aston | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Villa Yes, and it was striker Loic Remy who made the difference. Their | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
top scorer had been out of action because of a three game suspension | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
but he proved his worth yesterday, though he left it late to say the | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
least! There was an atmosphere of quiet desperation at St James Park, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
in the stands and on the field as the players tried to score their | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
first goal since 28th January. But it was Villa who initially had the | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
best chances, Gabby Agbonlahor posing the main threat. And you | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
can't underestimate the importance of the return of Captain Fabricio | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Coloccini at the back either which injected some much needed | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
confidence. Unfortunately Papiss Cisse is still severely lacking in | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
that and really should have put Newcastle ahead just before the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
break. But the game really only came to life in the last ten minutes. As | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
the desperation to score increased, they should have had a penalty for | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
handball and substitute Luuk de Jong did get the ball in the back of the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
net but Sissoko was offside. Fans must have resigned themselves to a | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
goalless draw when some good work from De Jong set up Loic Remy, but | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
the Frenchman inexplicably hit the post. Pardew couldn't believe it! So | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
when Remy did score in the second minute of stoppage time, his 12th | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
league goal of the season, St James Park erupted, it was almost as if | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
they'd won a cup. And one lucky fan will have Remy's shirt, a great | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
memento to remind him of the moment! It was special, not just for the | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
three point, but that lack of goal was hanging over us. We missed two | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
chancers. We had a penalty decision declined. I thought we were really | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
and truly in need of a goal. We created with our commitment and | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
effort today one good chance, and it fell to the best player on the | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
pitch. I'm not too sure there are many players in our group who could | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
have got that goal. Well next weekend the Magpies ` now | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
eighth on 40 points ` take on Steve Bruce's Hull City, who are starting | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
to break away from the relegation pack. Yes Sunderland will stay in | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
the bottom three for the next fortnight ` of course they're at | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Wembley this Sunday. Head coach Gus Poyet had hoped the league game at | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Arsenal would be ideal preparation for taking on another quality side, | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Manchester City, on a big pitch in the capital. Yes but the League Cup | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
final dress rehearsal didn't go to plan on the day Arsenal fans saluted | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
Gunners legend Dennis Bergkamp, who's now got his own statue outside | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
the Emirates. I don't know about walking on water, but the statuesque | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Sunderland defence were treading on eggshells for most of the first | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
half. Good though Arsenal were, did a really poor Black Cats performance | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
just make them seem like world`beaters? That was Olivier | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
Giroud with the first goal. Not good at back passes. That is Olivier | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
Giroud with a second goal. Neither of by the time. Tomas Rosicky with a | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
number three. When longer shall we put the fourth goal in, he felt it | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
might be a cricket score. Goal difference could be crucial `` | :21:01. | :21:14. | |
Laurent Koscielny. " shout found it to a son and play with a great | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
goal. This is a good wake`up call because if we place today, we will | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
be embarrassed next week because we would give the ball away. Sooner or | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
later Manchester City will score. I don't think it was in the mind of | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
the players. The idea of playing a certain way could not work, and I | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
guess you have to accept it. Our build`up to Sunday's final continues | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
tomorrow. But what do you think of the way our Premier League teams are | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
playing at the moment? You can let us know on our Facebook page. Plenty | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
of Sunderland fans still worried about possible relegation, while not | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
many Newcastle supporters seem to think the club will hold on to Loic | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Remy. In the Championship, the goal drought goes on for Middlesbrough, | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Mark? Yes I'm afraid so It's now a staggering 615 minutes or ten and a | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
quarter hours since Aitor Karanka's side last scored. A game against old | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
rivals Leeds was never going to be easy and Boro found Jack Butland in | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
the visitor's goal in fine form, whether it was from their own shots | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
or near own goals by the Leeds defenders. Pity they can't hold onto | :22:20. | :22:33. | |
Shay given a bit longer. Carlisle slid down the table again. Rotherham | :22:34. | :22:42. | |
took the lead. Right at the death, Rob Steed and agonising late winner | :22:43. | :22:58. | |
`` Rotherham sealed. Neither team could find a breakthrough in this | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
one. Another setback for Hartlepool's play`off ambitions. | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
Bottom club Northampton scored either side of half term, but | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
disappointing. Elsewhere disappointment on both the Rugby | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
Union pitch and the basketball court. But Newcastle Falcons did at | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
least earn a vital losing bonus point from their home defeat to | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
Premiership leaders Northampton. A defeat ` but Falcons would've taken | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
the final six point margin after a poor first half in which they | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
conceded three tries. Northampton dominating despite playing against | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
the wind. But things improved after the turnaround and Noah Cato's try | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
four minutes from time and Joel Hodgson's conversion left Falcons | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
close enough to claim a bonus point. In the Roman's game, Sarah Hunter | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
scored a try `` women's. In basketball, Newcastle Eagles hopes | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
of silverware ended along with a seven match winning run against | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
Worcester Wolves in the BBL Cup. It was tense stuff. But leading into | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
the fourth quarter Eagles couldn't hold on and a 16 point swing to the | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Wolves sealed Fab Flournoy's men's fate. | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
Finally there was so nearly a medal for one of our four`man bobsleigh | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
teams on the final day of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Mark? Yes the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
squad in Great Britain One came within a whisker of bronze thanks in | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
no small measure to County Durham`born John Jackson, who'd | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
recovered from achilles surgery to take his place as driver of our lead | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
bob. In the end the lads finished fifth ` just 11 hundredths of a | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
second off third place in what could be 36`year`old Jackson's final | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
Olympics. How close was that? It was closer than that. No lies around | :24:57. | :25:11. | |
this weekend? No. There has almost been an inch of rain in Cumbria. If | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
you're out and about today, it felt springlike. Many places saw | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
temperatures into double figures, 11 Celsius this afternoon. That mixed | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
weather continues this evening. We will have some rain spreading in | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
from the west. Some eastern areas will see drier weather, certainly | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
not patchy. Most places become drier later tonight is that rain clears | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
away. It is quite windy tonight and tempered is no lower than five or | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
six Celsius. We saw the flooding problems in part of Cumbria is in | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
the programme. There are still one or two thirds warnings around in the | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
Keswick area. Get the latest information on the floods on that | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
number. Tomorrow morning is a mostly dry start, but there'll be some | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
brightness around. By the afternoon we was in the next batch of showers | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
come in from the West. They will be heavy at times, possibly with hail | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
and thunder in between. It will be drier further south and east. You | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
might hang on to a bit of brightness in Middlesbrough and Scarborough, | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
with temperatures of the 10 Celsius, with a stronger southerly wind than | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
today. It might not feel as warm if you are out and about. Low pressure | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
of the North West, driving a weather front into Wednesday and Thursday. | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
It becomes drier towards the end of the working week. In Cumbria, the | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
shower and rain is never far away. There are one or two showers in the | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
north`east, but it will be a cooler the rest of the week. We are back | :27:09. | :27:18. | |
for the late news tonight. Goodbye. | :27:19. | :27:24. |
