Hello, welcome to Look North. In the On BBC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello, welcome to Look North. In the programme tonight: We're so sorry. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Apologies from the Leeds chhldren's heart unit to parents of seriously | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
ill children ` including those who wanted them sent to Newcastle for | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
treatment. A new way to tackle flooding ` move the river that's the | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
cause of the problem. We're still here. The village that fears it s | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
off the map, and losing precious business, because of long`tdrm | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
roadworks. We're celebrating the 250th anniversary of the man at the | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
top of this landmark, but there were more shades to Earl Grey th`n you | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
might realise. And space calling Cockermouth ` the spectacul`r | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
pictures captured from the very edge of the atmosphere by pupils in | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
Cumbria. In sport, he feared the sack ` now Alan Pardew tells us how | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
he plans to cope with his football stadium ban. And fearing thd drop ` | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
how defeat by the FA Cup semi`finalists has given struggling | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
Carlisle the blues. The children's heart surgerx unit in | :00:55. | :01:10. | |
Leeds has been criticised for treating some families poorly. In | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
fact, a year`long NHS investigation says it treated them with "` tragic | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
lack of communication, comp`ssion and, sometimes, basic kindndss" | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Some of those families had wanted their children transferred to the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
heart unit at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. Both, of course, `re | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
involved in a review of children's heart units around the country ` and | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Leeds had been targeted for closure. Well our health reporter Sh`ron | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Babour joins me now in the studio. Sharon ` tell us about the report | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
today. Well the report affects the whole region. We have familhes in | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
North Yorkshire who use the Leeds unit and the Freeman take rdferrals | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
from across the country. A plan to close some centres has seen a battle | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
between Newcastle and Leeds hospitals last year we learned | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
charities had concerns about the Leeds heart unit. Later it was | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
closed and an investigation launched. Three things were | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
investigated, mortality ratds, referrals to other hospitals and | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
family complaints. We learndd two aspects, with mortality, we learned | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
the unit is safe, although there are recommendation. For families, we | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
learn some have been badly treated. Serious problems have been found | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
regarding the care of 16 falilies. The stories are very harrowhng. And | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
they experienced a lack of come passion, poor counselling and badly | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
handled complaints. What have the families said? The once I h`ve | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
spoken to say they're grateful for being listened to and what they say | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
is a sincere apology from the niechers and `` NHS and the | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
hospital. One of the parents spoke to us last year about her d`ughter | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
Jessica. She felt that Leeds Hospital had lft it to late to | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
transfer her daughter to Frdeman hospital. I was begging my | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
consultant to let Jessica go. She had a stroke ten days later after | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
arriving at the hospital, bdcause she was so sick and then nine days | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
later she received a new he`rt. Between 27 days my daughter was on | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
death's door and now I was being told by Leeds she could go `nother | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
year and it was devastating. We heard from professor Sir Roger | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Boyle. Yes, he is the expert who said he would rather send Sdined his | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
daughter to `` send his daughter to Newcastle than Leeds and was soon | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
out of a job. He criticised political intervention and darlier | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
he said the behaviour of sole of the MPs was disgraceful. We need to | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
remember that families going through this kind of process are probably | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
among the most distressed pdople that we have in our country. I hope | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
that the MPs who were making such a fuss and competing to be thd MP | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
locally in West Yorkshire that saved the Leeds heart unit read this | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
report carefully. Some strong words there. What happens now? We are | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
waiting on the third aspect of the report on referrals, includhng | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
referring up to the Freeman Hospital and of course the whole revhew as to | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
which unit stays open. We know that is delayed, so we should find out | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
about this time next year. Thank you. More news now. Police trying to | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
find the missing deputy head teacher, Mark Bushnell, say they're | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
still searching ` although hopes of a positive outcome are fading. Mr | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Bushnell ` a married father of three, who works at Durham School ` | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
left home on Sunday morning. He drove to Blackhall Rocks ne`r | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Peterlee. Police say they'vd spoken to a number of people who s`w him or | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
spoke to him there. Further searches are planned into the weekend, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
although they will be on a smaller scale. The Government's announced | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
nearly ?29 million of funding for schools in the region. Schools in | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Northumberland will get over ?1 million, while those in North | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Yorkshire will receive more than ?7 million. Cumbria and County Durham | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
schools will also be given dxtra money. But there's no funding | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
increase for schools in Middlesbrough, where this wdek the | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
schools inspectorate, OFSTED, criticised standards. The ftneral | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
took place today of Megan Roberts, the York student whose body was | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
found in the River Ouse earlier this month. Megan, who was 20, w`s a | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
student at York St John University. Her family held a private ftneral in | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Harrogate. Megan had been mhssing for six weeks before she was found. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Police say it's likely she fell into the river after a night out with | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
friends. The search for solttions to flooding has become a priorhty | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
nationwide. But a new plan to protect houses in Newcastle is more | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
radical than most. The multh`million pound scheme would involve creating | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
an entirely new channel for the Ouseburn to keep it away from homes | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
in the Brunton Park area whhch was last flooded in 2012. Jonathan | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
Swingler can tell us more. The Ouseburn has been calm todax, but | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
when the rain comes, part of Newcastle have ended up likd this. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
So the plan to divert it and build walls is going to have a big impact. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
There is so much work going to be done I may have to move out of the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
house. So I mean I have a son living in Gosforth, it means he wotld get | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
in touch. But it's a big ch`nge to have to move? Totally big change, | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
especially at my age. So ye`h, I'm not looking forward to it at all, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
because they're going to ch`nge quite a bit in the garden and it's | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
not very pleasant. It's not going to be cheap. All of this is costing | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
?5.5 million. But at the end of the day they're changing the direction | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
of this river and they're m`king big changes to the golf course too. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Brian lives just yards from the water, but is also a keen golfer. I | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
think the first priority for me is to protect my own home and ly | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
family. But as a member of the golf club and having listened to the | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
plans that were outlined very recently, I think it's a win`win | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
situation for both parties. We're going to get a better golf course | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
out of it and the local reshdents are going to have their homds | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
protected. It's early days for all of this. We're going for pl`nning | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
permission around May this xear So hopefully with everything going to | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
plan and by July we should have planning permission and really start | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
the works in earnest then. We are looking at 12 months worth of work, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
so into next year, similar time summer. And then around abott autumn | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
time next year, most of the scheme should be finished. With sole work | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
to follow on, maybe the sprhng the year after. The consultation is | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
under way. Supporters of thd scheme say the hefty price tag will keep | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
100 homes safe. We're still here! That's the message from villagers in | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
North Yorkshire, who feel ctt off by repairs to the main route into their | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
village. The work on the Richmond to Reeth road, in Swaledale will take | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
12 weeks. Reeth will be at the heart of the Tour de France when ht comes | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
to Yorkshire in July. North Yorkshire County Council has | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
apologised for the roadworks ` but says they're "essential." Phil | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Chapman reports. When it coles to diversions there can't be m`ny as | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
picturesque as this one over Grinton Moor. Which is why frustrathng | :08:25. | :08:36. | |
business owners in and around Reeth want visitors to know they needn't | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
turn back at the stop sign. What we're finding now is people are | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
getting the impression throtgh the media, negative reports, th`t Reeth | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
is cut off and isolated frol the sort of the rest of the world. It's | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
not. There is a diversion in place. It takes you maybe 10 minutds | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
longer. But on a day like today you have got the advantage that when | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
you're coming into Reeth from the road down there, you have a | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
spectacular view of Reeth and Swaledale. The road that thd actual | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
diversion is going on is part of the route of the Tour de France. In | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
fact, it's less than four months before the Tour will speed directly | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
through the centre of Reeth after wending its way through the Dales, | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
with thousands of people expected to descend on the village. The | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
essential landslip works on the B6270 Richmond to Reeth road is | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
expected to take another 11 weeks. In a statement, North Yorkshire | :09:21. | :09:21. | |
County Council said: While the diversion is in place | :09:22. | :09:37. | |
businesses don't want trade diverted as well. Among them Carolind still | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
wants people to come for afternoon tea. It's gorgeous, it's absolutely | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
beautiful, come and visit us. Peter still wants people to visit for | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
ice`cream. The Dale is not closed for business, people can usd the two | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
higher roads and in weather like this it's fantastic to travdl over | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
those roads. The scenery is magnificent. So you would bd crazy | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
not to come really. And Stu`rt still wants people to get on their bikes | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
to get here and the diversion should even keep them extra fit. The road | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
up from Richmond is the low level ride, so get a lot of cyclists come | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
up from Richmond, Northallerton and round and about. But it's a bit | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
frustrating. It's a small dhversion, you've got a bit of a hill climb to | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
do to get back out of the D`le, but we're still open and the sun's | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
shining, so it's still worth a trip. Well for anyone who thinks Reeth is | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
isolated or cut off, they whll have to return in the summer when it | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
becomes the centre of the cxcling universe, but long before then the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
business community here in this village and throughout the Dales | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
want everyone to know they're very much open for business. Comhng up | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
next: Some lesser known facts about one of our former Prime Minhsters. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
And the self`confessed couch potato who cleaned up her act so mtch, | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
she's just been crowned "Brhtain's Strongest Woman". The strength of | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
the high pressure is declinhng and it will be cloudier and bredzy, but | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
generally dry. Join me later for the full forecast. He's one of our | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
region's most famous political figures, and today marks thd 25 th | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
anniversary of the birth of Charles Earl Grey. The statue of thd Earl ` | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
whose family seat was Howick Hall in Northumberland ` dominates the | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Newcastle skyline, of coursd. But do we really remember his achidvements? | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Peter Harris is live at Grex's Monument now, Peter. It took three | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
years to build this monument, but when it was unveiled, Earl Grey | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
didn't bother to turn up. So it begs the question why. Could it be he was | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
getting old, or could it be that the country boy wasn't really all | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
that... Either way it was a remarkable life. Prime Minister | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
reformer, but who was the m`n standing sentry over Newcastle? | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
There's one legacy we all know ` a brew created for the Earl bx a | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
Chinese Mandarin. Well isn't he creator of Earl Grey tea, isn't that | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
right? The tea, yeah. That's about it. His house was at Howick past | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
Alnwick. Something to do with tea. Yet his real achievement was one 300 | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
miles away. The Great Reforl Act of 1832. Fighting off the Housd of | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
Lords, a change that back then seemed significant. Immortalised | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
with a monument. He engineered the first major overhaul of the system | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
of voting and representation in British history and changing a | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
system that had been around since the medieval period. The more | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
negative view would be he w`sn't a radical, he wasn't a democr`t, he | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
was an aristocrat, he was committed to maintaining the property | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
franchise and only people whth property could have the right to | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
vote. The abolition of slavdry in the Commonwealth was his as well. | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Privately though this was a country boy and it might be the long periods | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
away in London saw him seek solace in women. His wife, Mary, h`s 1 | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
children, so inevitably she spent much her life being pregnant and | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
while Grey was away in London and other places, he was chasing the | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
women. Including the Duchess of Devonshire, to whom he had ` child. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
The child ending up being brought up by the Greys. The Duchess's story | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
retold in a film with Keira Knightley. But back at the family | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
seat, Howick Hall, such aff`irs wouldn't have been seen as tnusual | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
for great men of the time. Not only did he have an affair with the | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
Duchess of Devonshire, but there was also the Russian ambassador's wife, | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
he had an affair with. That's reasonably well documented. And | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
perhaps there were others. But you've to have a bit of historical | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
imagination about this and say, well, that's what life was like in | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
London then. And is it so dhfferent today? I'm not sure! He inshsted his | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
children were educated at home in Northumberland and he sent them on a | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
midnight walk to cure a fear of darkness. Telling them to phck a | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
rare flower to prove they'd done it. And when he was buried here in 845, | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
could he have known that for all the politics, the Prime Minister would | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
be remembered for his tea? How terribly British! Although the tea | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
takes his name, Earl Grey ndver took out a patent on it and that means | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
the family never received a penny. Probably not his best decishon that! | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
Back to you. Doesn't lund vrd sound like it. `` doesn't sound lhke it. | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
Our region is well know for its strong women. But one formidable | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
lady is celebrating after bding named the strongest in the country. | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
Donna Moore, from Catterick in North Yorkshire, was a self`confessed | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
couch potato when the doctor warned her to change her lifestyle. So she | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
hit the gym ` and this month was crowned "Britain's Strongest Woman", | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
after lifting the equivalent of two grown men above her head. H`nnah | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
Bayman dropped in on a training session. Donna Moore at her gym in | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
Topcliffe. The tyre she's flipping weighs as much as three adult women. | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
It's great fun and empowering and nice to be with other peopld and to | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
train and it is different from the regular exercise classes at the gym. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
To win the title of Britain's Strongest Woman, Donna liftdd this | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
22 stone bar over her head repeatedly for 75 seconds. Faster. A | :15:42. | :15:51. | |
lot of the events are multirepetitions for a time frame. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
That is where she excels. She has that endurance where she can keep | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
pushing. She is strong for ` good period of time. Then there was the | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
farmers sprint. The barrel walk and the excruciating Crucifix hold, | :16:09. | :16:20. | |
among other ordeals. Keep breathing. Good stuff. Donna did this `mazing | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
feat, lifting 195 kilos which is a good achievement, because the bar is | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
the size of a soda can and the weight she lifted is the eqtivalent | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
of four washing machines. So she did an amazing thing. My childrdn think | :16:38. | :16:51. | |
it is awesome that their mul is strong. What will Donna lift next? | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
She hopes it'll be the Strongest Woman in Europe title in July. Fancy | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
that? Not really. I wouldn't like to lift you. You might struggld with | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
Paul Mooney. Time for sport now and Newcastle Manager Alan Parddw's been | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
talking publicly ` for the first time ` since his seven match ban | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
from the FA for headbutting Hull City's David Meyler Dawn? Yds, It | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
was his press conference ahdad of Saturday's Fulham game but `ll the | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
questions were about his st`dium and touchline ban. He said he's written | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
a letter of apology to Stevd Bruce and said sorry again to Davhd Meyler | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
and the Newcastle fans for his behaviour. He was fined ?100,00 by | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
the club on the day but was clearly worried he might have lost his job. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
Well of course it is a relidf, because you know when you h`ve made | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
a mistake and men make mist`kes My mistake was in front of millions of | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
people. But you have to pay a price and there was a hefty price to pay. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Mike acted swiftly and I accepted that. In this interim period, since | :17:50. | :18:01. | |
the incident, the backing I have had from the club in particular has been | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
really a big help to me. Because obviously it's been difficult. At | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
the time I didn't think it was as bad as it appeared on TV and I must | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
have watched it 2,000 times. The situation was I should never have | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
walked forward and got involved in that situation when he pushdd me. | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
Well we know Pardew has been involved in several incidents in the | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
past ` do you think he's le`rned anything this time? Well he's | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
considering taking some kind of anger management course ` and his | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
seven matches away from the cut and thrust might end up being | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
beneficial. That will give le a period to get my head around it in | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
terms of how I take the teal forward. Because one thing xou will | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
never take out of me is my desire and hunger to win. And Newc`stle | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
fans knows that is what drives me and drives the keep. `` That I will | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
have to keep and channel it the right way. What I have to do is out | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
of this situation become a better manager. I have had something like | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
678 games, I've only had ond touch line ban before this one. Btt that | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
doesn't mean to say what I did has any justification, so I spoke to the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
owner about make some managdment consultant issues I could look at | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
that might help. Club On Saturday he'll be in the team hotel `nd will | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
give the pre match teamtalk ` and as for communicating with his staff | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
during the game ` it seems to be a bit of a grey area and he's probably | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
just going to leave John Carver to get on with it. Actually whdn you're | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
on the side of the pitch and you can see a bigger picture, I'm going to | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
have the trust John's gut fdeling on how that game is evolving and he has | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
worked with me long enough to know what I expect. At this time where | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
I'm sitting here now I have more faith in John perhaps carryhng the | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
flag for three games. I can deliver the game plan before they gdt on the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
bus before the Fulham game, which sometimes do in the changing room. | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
The Sunderland head coach Gts Poyet has called on his first teal squad | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
to produce one final push in the battle to preserve the club's | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
Premier League status. He thinks five more wins from the last 12 | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
games will be enough. Poyet also says he's looking forward to working | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
with the Wearsiders' new sporting director ` former Hamburg tdchnical | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
director, Lee Congerton. I think the relationship between the sport | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
director and the manager nedds to be spot on, if there is any | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
misunderstanding or friction then the one that pays the price is the | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
club and the fans. So I think it's important that he knows me the best | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
that he can so he can bring me the best players I need to be a better | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
football club. Carlisle rem`in in a precarious position, just one point | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
and two places above the Le`gue One relegation zone after losing 1` to | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Sheffield United last night. The FA Cup semi finalists dominated for | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
long spells and after half `n hour former Everton midfielder Jose | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Baxter drilled in a low shot. But The Blues keeper Jordan Pickford on | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
loan from Sunderland was in good form ` he had to be as he w`s kept | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
busy from the start forced hnto action from the first minutd of the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
game. Carlisle kept the pressure on in the last twenty minutes `nd David | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Amoo almost grabbed an equalizer but his header was cleared off the line. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Graham Kavanagh's side now have to prepare for a six pointer against | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
fellow strugglers Stevenage at Brunton Park on Saturday ` who're | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
just a point behind them. Now ` to a young woman who is quite literally a | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
real high`flier. We featured Caitlin Harm on Look North back in 2006 in | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
our Sportskids series when she was having lessons at Northumbrha | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Gliding Club as a 12 year`old. Now 20, she's become one of the youngest | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
female commercial pilots in the UK. Caitlin recently got back from | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
training in Arizona where she got her Commercial Pilots Licence. She's | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
now just fifty hours flight training away from realising her dre`m of | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
becoming an airline pilot. Very close now. I'm a commercial pilot. | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
If you wanted me to fly down from Newcastle to bgs ford where I am now | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
and pay me to do that, I cotld technically do that. I would have | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
loved to fly concord, but that has been grounded. Ideally strahght out | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
of training I would love to fly a 737. People may think that hs not | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
exciting, but I prefer to fly short haul. Well done. We know how to pick | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
them. Now, some people are prepared to pay a fortune for a journey into | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
space. Well tonight ` for nothing ` we can take you on an amazing trip, | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
35,000 metres above our reghon, on a beautiful day. In last night's | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
programme we told you about the Cockermouth school pupils sdnding a | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
camera into the stratospherd, attached to a weather balloon. And | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
this evening we have their pictures, all the way from the edge of space, | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
` as Mark McAlindon reports. More than 100 miles from home thd camera | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
was found in a North Yorkshhre field. It begun its journey hours | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
earlier from this Cockermouth school. What it captured was | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
stunning. We were gobsmacked and we were so lucky with the weather. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
There was no cloud cover and you can see the coastline and the mountains. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
It is beautiful. The camera enjoyed one of the most privileged sight | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
seeing trips in the north. Ht reached 35 thousand metres before | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
bursting under the pressure and for a moment causing some anxiety. When | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
it burst, I started falling at 3 meeters a second and all of my group | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
were saying everyone is going to kill us, it is not slowing down We | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
were watching and slowly as the atmosphere thickened it started to | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
slow down and so much relief and it lapped at the right `` land at the | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
right speed and we thought everything would be intact `nd it | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
worked. So after two years of being part of space race, can thex go one | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
better next year zm? Last ydar was fantastic. Now they have eqtalled | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
that and I don't know how you go one better. It is a fantastic rdsult. | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
Fantastic. Well done to everyone involved. A lovely day for ht as | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
well. Britain's strongest wdatherman by the way. I will see you later. A | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
nice day, I have heard people mention the signs of spring they | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
have mentioned. Some mentioned the local ice`cream van and herd is an | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
ice`cream boat in York. Just the thing for a day like today. It | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
wasn't hot and sunny every where. And in Cumbria, mist and fog | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
persisted and staechlt struggled. Just `` temperatures struggled. Just | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
six degrees. Now high presstre will sink to the south`west and we have | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
north`westerly winds. Always on the the breezy and cloudy side. But | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
still generally dry. It shotld be mostly dry tonight. There whll be | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
mist and fog affecting parts of the region again. Some coastal fog in | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
the west. One or two patches of fog inland further east as well. And | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
they could be on the dense side as they have been. I don't think we | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
will see as much frost. Most places no colder than about four Cdlsius. | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
Tomorrow, that south`westerly breeze starts to pick up and the fog | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
patches should lift. But thdy will be replaced by cloud and a | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
stiffening south`west to westerly breeze. So more cloud and thick | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
enough for some rain in the west. Eastern areas hang on to thd | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
brighter skies. Some sunny spells in the afternoon. We should sed some | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
decent temperatures, up to 04 Celsius in the east. But it may not | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
feel as warm, because there will be more cloud and that breeze will pick | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
up strongly in the arve. O'`` afternoon. Through the weekdnd a lot | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
of cloud in the west. Day thme temperatures in double figures. So | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
reasonably mild. If on the breezy side and we should stay frost`free | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
in Cumbria. The north`east will stay frost`free as well. The clotd | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
thinner to east of the Pennhnes It will be breezy. The best ch`nce of | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
sunshine looks as if it will be on Sunday. Now if you're out and about | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
we would love to see your M`rch weather pictures. Send them to the | :27:04. | :27:13. | |
usual address. Thanks Paul. Now let's have a last look at tonight's | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
headlines. A former News of the World journalist has claimed in | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
court it was Princess Diana who leaked a confidential Royal phone | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
book. And the Leeds children's heart surgery unit has apologised to | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
parents of seriously ill chhldren, including those who wanted them sent | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
to Newcastle for treatment. That is it for now. We will see you later. | :27:32. | :27:43. | |
Bye`bye. | :27:44. | :27:45. |
