Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: Care | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
workers admit abusing elderly residents at a Cumbrian care home. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Their employer calls their actions "deplorable." | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Playing with their lives on the line. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
A new rail safety campaign aims to prevent these shocking incidents. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Test drive on the Tees. An ambitious scheme to run water taxis up and | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
down the river. And it's decision time. An | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
award`winning photographer chooses the winner of April's weather | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
picture competition. In sport, we meet the former England | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
captain counting down the days to next year's Rugby Union World Cup. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
And can Sunderland find the point they need to stay in the Premier | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
League? Who better to ask than the fans who've spent a lifetime | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
following the red and whites? Deplorable. That's how the behaviour | :00:44. | :01:04. | |
of three carers who abused residents at a Cumbrian nursing home has been | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
described by their former employers. 23`year`old Chevonne Benson and | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
22`year`old William Bowman from Penrith pleaded guilty to a total of | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
16 charges this morning. Both worked at the Beacon Edge specialist | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
nursing home in Penrith. A third person has already admitted three | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
charges. Our reporter Alison Freeman was at Carlisle Crown Court for us | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
today. Alison, can you tell us what the pair admitted doing? | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
The charges all related to offences that took place at the nursing home | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
last year. The home specialises in dementia care and the defendants | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
were meant to be looking after some of the most vulnerable members of | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
society. There were 16 charges in total. William Bowman admitted a | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
charges which included verbally abusing those in his care, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
assaulting them, pulling their hair and allowing humiliating photographs | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
to be taken. 23`year`old Chevonne Benson admitted ten charges, again, | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
they included assault and verbal abuse. Calling one man a cabbage and | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
telling another she would be evicted because her rent wasn't paid. The | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
admitted two charges together, one in which they turned off the light | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
of a resident in a `` of a resident's room to frighten her. The | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
oldest of the victims was 96 years old. What are Bupa, who run the care | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
home, saying? In a statement, they said everyone was deeply shocked by | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the behaviour. They hadn't they could not understand how young | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
people planning a career in care and nursing could behave in this world. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
They said other carers at the nursing home had reported the abuse | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
so that action could be taken. They apologise to both residents, and | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
their families, saying they are grateful to the police and social | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
services which meant that two people would never get to work with | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
vulnerable people again. What happens next? A third person Claire | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
Strong had already admitted three charges, she along with the other | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
two defendants will be sentenced at the end of October. | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
A York man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for rape and | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
kidnap. Mark Anthony Thompson, aged 37, was found guilty at Teesside | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Crown Court of three counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault and one | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
count of kidnapping. The charges relate to attacks on three different | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
woman. Thompson must serve at least 11 and a half years in prison before | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
being eligible for parole. Now it might seem obvious to us, but | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
doing this is not advisable. But because people haven't got the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
message and do put their lives at risk, life`saving lessons are being | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
given to children to promote awareness around trains. East Coast | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
has launched the new pilot safety scheme and pupils from Poppleton | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Road Primary school spent a day at York station, as Cathy Killick | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
reports. It's nail`biting enough simply to | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
watch, yet thousands of people routinely risk their lives on train | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
tracks. These passengers lived, the latest annual figures record more | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
than 40 people that did not. `` trespassers. They were fatalities | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
that were entirely unnecessary. In the time you have been watching this | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
report, about 14 seconds, a train travelling at full speed can travel | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
half a mile. That makes the tracks an obviously dangerous place to be. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
That's why East Coast are piloting a safety programme for children. These | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
nine`year`olds are among the first students and have come to York | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
station for a lesson in rail safety. It's good to start with the children | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
at a younger age so they can understand how dangerous the railway | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
is. It is not a playground. There are quite a few dangerous risks ` | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
trains pass through the station at 30 to 40mph. Getting into the | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
driver's seat is a thrill for the children. But will it be a lesson to | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
remember, too? I asked them what they learned. You're not allowed to | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
go too close to the track. Just in case you fall in and because the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
barrier is quite high, you might not be able to get out and you may be | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
run over by a train. If you see a yellow line next to the train track, | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
don't cross it. Don't be silly when you are near the side. If the pilot | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
is successful, more children will follow ` spreading the safety lesson | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
and hopefully saving lives. Five Middlesbrough councillors who | :05:57. | :06:08. | |
were deselected as Labour candidates for the 2015 local election have | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
resigned from the party. The five men were deselected in March from a | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
list of approved candidates. They appealed against the decision, but | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
were unsuccessful. Two of the councillors say they have lost faith | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
in the party's local leadership, and will stand as independents at next | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
year's local elections. The Labour party in Middlesbrough now has a | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
majority of just one in the overall number of elected members. `` Labour | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
Party. Now, it brings the whole of Europe | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
together in song. Curious costumes, sometimes dodgy lyrics and frequent | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
accusations of "political" voting ` Eurovision's just a few days away. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
But another contest's taking place this month closer to home. As our | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Political Correspondent Mark Denten reports, there'll be less singing, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
maybe fewer tears and more suits than sequins, but once again your | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
vote counts. It only happens once a year, but the | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
waiting's over. It's time to share the moment, to wave your colours, to | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
show your support. When May comes round, it can only mean one thing. | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
It is local election time. When you just cannot get those policies out | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
of your head. The parties are offering a different policy tunes. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
Labour controls seven of the councils up for election, including | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Newcastle, Gateshead and South Tyneside. The party says people | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
should use their vote to protest against local government cuts. There | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
is no recovery in household finances. Many people are worse off | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
than when the Government was elected. And secondly councils and | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
indeed the whole of the North East and Cumbria has taken a battering | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
from this Government. Fiddlers on record players, costumes that turn | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
into wings ` just a couple of things I couldn't find in the manifestos, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
so what of the other parties? The Liberal Democrats control South | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Lakeland Council, but they're the official opposition in Newcastle. | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
They say the party gives voters value for money. We are defending 18 | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
seats in the region this time. We are optimistic of holding all of | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
them and making some further gains. Our message is that this is a local | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Government election and we are very strong on the ground. We have some | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
brilliant councillors. But could the curiously enthusiastic judges be | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
announcing successes for another party? The Conservatives control | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Harrogate Council, but are targeting Carlisle, where Labour has a | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
nine`seat advantage. The party says Labour's taken voters for granted. | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
We have had the same old councillors representing the same areas for | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
decades and it really is time for change in the North East. I am | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
hoping that people will go to the polls, look at the good news we have | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
on the economy, particularly in the Northeast with manufacturing, and | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
vote Conservative. So across the region over 800 candidates are | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
waiting for your vote and no`one wants null point. There'll be | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
nerves, there'll be drama, because it's time for making your mind up. | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
You can find out where local elections are taking place in our | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
region on the BBC politics website. And we'll be bringing you more from | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the parties ahead of the vote on May 22nd. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Plenty more to come in tonight's programme. Including the fans' view | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
on Sunderland's roller`coaster season. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Could these be a regular sight on the Tees this summer? We join the | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
water taxis on their test drive. I will be here with a full weather | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
forecast as well as revealing this month's winning weather picture. | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
Today has been important in the campaign to bring passenger rail | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
services back to part of Northumberland. The Ashington to | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Newcastle link closed to all but freight trains 50 years ago. But the | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
people that run the country's rail network have spent the day looking | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
at just how the train service could be brought back to life. Our | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Political Editor Richard Moss caught up with them. There's tracks and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
there's trains, but if you want to travel by rail from Ashington to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
Newcastle, forget it. No passenger services have run here for 50 years. | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
It may be covered with weeds and rubbish, but these other platforms | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
that were last used 50 years ago. `` these are. It is hoping that | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
passengers can catch trains here once again. And that's why these men | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
are gathered in this car park. They've come to look at what work | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
might be needed to get passengers back onto platforms and onto the | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
rail line by 2018. The estimated cost is thought to be ?60 million, | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
but by looking at what's physically left, they'll get a better idea. It | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
will require a lot of detailed engineering and assessments. It | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
gives us a sense of whether or not the infrastructure can be used. That | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
is one of the beauties of the product, the rail is still in | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
existence. This is the route the line could cover ` connecting | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
communities that currently rely on cars and buses to both the Tyne and | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Wear metro and the centre of Newcastle. One of the managers of | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
Britain's rail network is also here taking a look. He's supportive, but | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
admits there's still work to do. I think what we can do is say how much | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
will it cost and how long will it take? Then we can work with the | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
County Council and local stakeholders to say, can we find the | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
money to actually do the capital costs? And can we work with the | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
train operating company to run the services? So a bit too early to book | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
tickets yet. But there is real optimism that a passenger line for | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
South East Northumberland could soon become more than just a conversation | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
in a car park or a memory from the past. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
It's a bold, ambitious plan that it's claimed will showcase one of | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Stockton's hidden jewels. A Teesside businessman is looking to run river | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
taxis along the Tees. The boats will travel through Yarm, Stockton and go | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
up to the Tees Barrage. It's hoped the service will be up and running | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
this summer. Our reporter Stuart Whincup went on board as the taxis | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
were taken on their first test drive. Bathed in the spring | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
sunshine, the river taxis are bold, bright and hard to miss. There is a | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
lot of interest, I think it is the jewel of Stockton. Gliding along the | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Tees, the service promises to showcase the best of Stockton's | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
riverside. It's all the idea of this man ` Lindsay Eccles. We have such a | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
beautiful area here that people need to come and see. He already owns the | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Teesside Princess and the slightly larger replica of The Endeavour. The | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
river taxis he says will be the perfect addition and help encourage | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
more people to explore the river. Where else can you do this? You come | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
onto the river, the wildlife, it's quiet, the scenery, it is a superb | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
facility. If we just look at it now, a glorious day, we have 80 | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
swans in front of us. Dutiful surroundings. `` beautiful | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
surroundings. This is all part of Stockton's masterplan. With work | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
well underway on the ?38 million transformation of the High Street. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
There's also plans to develop the riverside, organising more events | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
and activities around it. Initially, two taxis will run from the Tees | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
Barrage to Stockton, Preston Park and Yarm. The idea is to get more | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
boats and increase the speed limit from five miles per hour to 15 or 20 | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
mph. Then they can run services on a morning and evening, taking people | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
to and from work. It's hoped the first taxis will be running along | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
the river this June. And if the service is success, these bright | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
yellow boats could become a regular feature on the Tees. That would be a | :14:00. | :14:11. | |
nice, relaxing way to get to and from work. But relaxing is far from | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
Sunderland supporters' minds. Sunderland take on West Bromwich | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Albion tomorrow night, knowing just a point should be enough to secure | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
their Premier League place. Having beaten Manchester United at Old | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Trafford for the first time in 46 years, it's not surprising the | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
Stadium of Light was buzzing today as a group of loyal fans staged | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
their regular monthly meeting. Most Black Cat fans will think | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
they've seen it all before ` the disappointments, the upsets and the | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
occasional moments of sheer delight like Seb Larsson's winner at the | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
weekend. But the members of the club's Senior Supporters' | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
Association speak from long experience. It has been up and | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
down, I have not been watching since wartime football, 1942 was my first | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
match. `` I have been. I think we would have been safe for Wembley | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
some time ago. It was it worth it? I don't think so. I am a top division | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
man myself. Don't like is being down in the second and worse still in the | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
third. But having been favourites for the drop not so long ago, it now | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
looks as if head coach Gus Poyet has indeed performed a miracle. Not that | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
they're taking anything for granted! One point out of those two games, I | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
am hopeful. Cannot be too confident, because of previous experience this | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
season with various games, but we are hopeful. And Poyet is hopeful | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
he's heard the last of the Ji affair. Reports had suggested their | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
relegation rivals might mount a legal challenge, asking for a points | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
deduction, because, for a time, the Korean didn't have international | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
clearance. The Uruguayan is taking it all in his stride. | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
From my point of view, I am very relaxed. | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
Carlisle United fans have spent the Bank Holiday weekend reflecting on | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
the club's relegation to League Two and the words of Blues' chairman, | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Andrew Jenkins. He's apologised to supporters for what he admits has | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
been a "disastrous" season on the pitch. Mr Jenkins said a combination | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
of budgetary constraints, ill`timed injuries and suspensions, and mixed | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
success in the loans market had played a big part in Carlisle's | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
decline. As the directors seek a solution, fans will just be pleased | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
to see the back of a season, which ended in relegation being confirmed | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
by a 3`0 defeat at champions Wolves. Gateshead chairman Graham Wood is | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
hoping that around 15,000 fans will follow them down to Wembley for | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
their conference playoff final against Cambridge United. There was | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
jubilation at Gateshead International Stadium on Sunday as | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
Gary Mills' side beat Grimsby 3`1 in the second leg of the playoff | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
semifinal in front of 8,000 supporters to reach Wembley for the | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
first time in their history. Victory would see them back in the Football | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
League for the first time in 54 years. | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
Around 9,000 fans turned out to support former Sunderland footballer | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
Jody Craddock's testimonial match at Molineux ` the home of his final | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
club Wolverhampton Wanderers. But typically Craddock, a popular figure | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
in the north east and the West Midlands was more interested in | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
giving back to a cause close to his heart. He's raising money for | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
Birmingham Children's Hospital's cancer unit after his young son Toby | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
received treatment for leukaemia. There will always be the hospital | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
and for me to be able to raise some money and help them out, as they | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
have helped us out a hell of a lot, to give back a little is great. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
It was a good weekend for some of our rugby union followers. Newcastle | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Falcons secured their place in next season's Premiership, and the | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
youngsters from Northumberland brought the under`20s national | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
championship home from Twickenham, beating Yorkshire by 39 points to | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
ten in the final. And today, an old England hero was in the region, | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
counting down the days to next year's World Cup. | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
It's a scene Newcastle rugby fans won't forget. Lawrence Dallaglio and | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
their own cup winner, Jonny Wilkinson, parading the World Cup | :18:05. | :18:09. | |

mark another milestone in the countdown to next year's | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
competition. 2003 feels like a long time ago, but the impact it had on | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
everyone involved on the whole, great to feel proud as a nation, and | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
as you say coming back with a trophy and beer to share that with the | :18:32. | :18:36. | |

continuing that celebration, because England will in 500 days' time | :18:43. | :18:46. | |

Kumar Sangakkara's two`match stint for Durham got off to the worst | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
possible start as the top Sri Lankan batsman was out for a second ball | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
duck in his first innings on the third day of their County | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Championship match with Yorkshire. It left Durham struggling on 70`3 | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
chasing Yorkshire's huge total of 589`8 declared. But Mark Stoneman's | :19:40. | :19:45. | |

Richardson got the home side back into the game. They finished the day | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
on a 361`8, still trailing by 228. It is now time to reveal the winning | :19:57. | :20:10. | |
entry in our April weather picture competition. | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
Our guest judge can normally be found out and about on the Cumbrian | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Fells, in fact she's an award`winning writer and | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
photographer on the subject of the great outdoors. Paul Mooney caught | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
up with her on a day off at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
Carlisle. My name is Vivienne Crow and I'm a | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
writer and photographer. I am writing magazine articles, | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
guidebooks, mostly about the Cumbrian Fels. I am out with my | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
camera a lot of the time, normally waiting for good weather, but | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
sometimes it can be more moody to go out on an overcast day with the | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
cloud cover and the showers coming and going ` more drama in the sky. | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
Vivienne is kept pretty busy, but I did manage to get her indoors | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
briefly to cast a critical eye over the pictures of your April weather | :21:00. | :21:00. | |
shots. The month had been dry, on the | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
whole, so April showers are few and far between. Bright skies were in | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
abundance. Vivian narrowed it down to a final three which included a | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
couple of sunsets and surprisingly not a single Lake District shot. A | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
lot of photographers clearly know what they are doing these days. All | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
these people with cameras or phones or whatever ` they seem to know what | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
they are looking for. The runners`up were Stuart Goodman from | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Weatherall, and his picture was sunset over the Solway Firth. You | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
can see the sun, the colours are lovely and rich and again it is very | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
evocative of the time of year. The other runner was from Cumbria, and | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
his picture was a little bit different to the usual landscape | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
shots, it was a picture of Redcar blast furnace, but the combination | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
of the sun and the smoke from the furnace, it just has a lot of | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
atmosphere. And coincidentally the winning shot was taken just along | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
the road. The winner was James Stoker and his picture was of the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
beach as taken from Redcar, looking down the beach towards Hartlepool. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
The composition is perfect. Basically, you look at it and think, | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
although it is a grim day, you think you want to be there and walking | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
along the beach. It is a typical April scene, you have the threat of | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
showers, although we have not had so many showers, but there is the | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
threat. Congratulations to James for that picture. It is a really good | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
picture. Well done to James and to all of our | :22:40. | :22:59. | |
photographers. Thank you. That winning picture will become part of | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
next year's children in need calendar. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
The next few days, outbreaks of rain across the region, particularly in | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
Cumbria. Our headline, through the evening were expected to be dry at | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
first, but it is not long before it starts to cloud over. Rain moves | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
into the West, widespread free time, it'll splash South and East. Most | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
places are dry, with temperatures no lower than seven or eight at dawn. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
Reasonably mild tomorrow, and we are looking forward to a bit of early | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
sunshine. In Cumbria, it starts to cloud over through the morning with | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
further outbreaks of rain splashing in from the West. It becomes | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
widespread once again through the afternoon, heavy freight time in the | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
Dales. Taking a tour through the... Temperatures not too bad, around 13 | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
Celsius, but little sunshine. Brisk breeze is rolling in further spells | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
of rain. In Cumbria, a touch cooler, it will not feel very springlike on | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
the coast. The big picture, pressure is low over the next few days to | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
come, so the rainfall tomorrow and then a complex area of low pressure | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
crosses the UK through Thursday, heavy rain and strong breezes, as | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
well, a squeeze on the isobars. It looks like we might get brighter | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
weather for a time on Friday and Saturday, but into the weekend a low | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
pressure system threatens to bring further rainfall, particularly in | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
this time for the North East. What will that mean for the detail? Let's | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
take a look around Cumbria. Thursday is gloomy and greed. Reasonably | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
mild. No sunshine for many. `` grey. We do get blue skies on | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
Thursday, but blustery showers behind the main band of rain. In the | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
north`east, similar here, we will get the worst of the on Thursday. | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
Heavy rain, particularly further North, really hammering down and on | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
Friday bright skies, but a risk of showers. We know the weather would | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
be fantastic, but if you fancy braving it with your camera, here is | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
the address to send your photos, we look at all of them. Or if you go to | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
the website, you can e`mail them to pass that way. | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
A look again at the headlines: Former broadcaster Stuart Hall | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
pleads guilty to indecently assaulting an underage girl but | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
denies 20 other charges. And care workers admit abusing | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
elderly residents at a Cumbrian care home. Their employer says their | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
actions were "deplorable." That's it from us, don't get the | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
