daughter's friends They had planned to spend their | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Sunday kayaking down the River Tyne. And today, the bodies | :00:00. | :00:58. | |
of three members of the same family It's thought the three men, | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
who haven't yet been named, went into the river at Hexham, | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
planning to end their trip about But search | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
and rescue teams found their bodies in a short stretch of the water | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
between Corbridge and Riding Mill. Our correspondent, Adrian Pitches, | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
has been following events and joins Yes, it was down these steps that | :01:20. | :01:36. | |
the men carried their kayaks yesterday. | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
The alarm was raised at 11 o'clock by relatives then the men did not | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
return to their homes in South Shields area. The police, the fire | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
and rescue services were all scrambled as was seeking | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
helicopter. It was a helicopter that found the first bodies. The men were | :02:02. | :02:20. | |
on kayaks, they were experienced kayakers. This is what the police | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
had to say. The three of them went as a group | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
from South Tyneside to Hexham in order to go down the river as they | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
have done before. It wasn't until they were excessively late home that | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
concern was expressed and a search was started. The river was high and | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
fast flowing. Quite challenging conditions. That is one aspect we | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
will be looking at. Adrian, we know the river was very | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
high, what do we know The river was high. It was running | :03:01. | :03:12. | |
about five feet higher than its normal level. These were set on | :03:13. | :03:30. | |
kayaks rather than sit in kayaks. We actually talked to a kayak axed Bert | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
/expert. Something like these, sit on top | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
like these, it would be something like slow`moving rivers, lakes and | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
lochs and possibly a little bit of You can go out and the river | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
is very, very slow moving. Within five, ten minutes, | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
rivers can be straight back up The kayaks that the men used | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
underwater conditions will be key in any investigation. We will have an | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
up to date update for you at half ten tonight. | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
Thank you. A major search operation is also | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
underway along the banks of the River Wear in Durham | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
as concern grows for a 19`year`old student missing since the early | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
hours of yesterday morning. Luke Pearce had been out drinking | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
with friends on Saturday evening in a student nightclub close to | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
the riverside. The River Wear, close to Durham | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
city centre, and search teams make The disappearance of 19`year`old | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
engineering student Luke Pearce has We would consider him as being | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
high risk at this moment in time. We are doing checks | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
of Luke's phones and bank account to In terms of the state he was in, | :04:50. | :05:08. | |
it's impossible to say He had been drinking with friends, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
but nothing to indicate that he wasn't capable of looking | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
after himself. We are doing checks on his phone | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
and bank account to see if he is using those which would | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
indicate he is fit and well. In addition to that, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
we are also doing house`to`house enquiries to see if anybody has seen | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
him in the area. On the night he went missing, Luke | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
had been drinking in Jimmy Allen's, But he was last seen several hundred | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
yards away on the riverside footpath, close to | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
the racecourse cricket ground. Seeing the search teams back | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
at work on this section of the river will remind many of the death of | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
20`year`old economics student Sope Peters who drowned after a night out | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
with friends in October last year. Police are keen not to draw any | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
similarities at this stage. They're still hopeful Luke Pearce | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
will be found safe and well. Durham University is working with | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
police to spread word among the student community to ensure everyone | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
is on the lookout for Luke. An inquest has heard that two | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
British soldiers serving in Afghanistan, | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
including one from County Durham, died in a fire that engulfed their | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
tent as they slept at Camp Bastion. Private Rob Wood and 23 year`old | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Dean Hutchinson from Spennymoor died as flames swept through a logistical | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
centre at the Helmland province The men served with the | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Royal Logistic Corps. Sir Richard Branson has revealed | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
a new plan that could save It comes after labour leader | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
Ed Milliband told Sir Richard he must think again about axing | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
the funds behind the charity. The Foundation was created | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
in 1997 after what was then the Northern Rock Building Society | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
was demutualised. It used some of the Rock's profits | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
to aid good causes in the North East But Virgin Money, which bought | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Northern Rock in 2011, said it Our Business Correspondent, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Ian Reeve, reports. Sir Richard Branson came to his | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Virgin Money empire this morning His bank had said it would no longer | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
support the Northern Rock Foundation ` the charity that gives to good | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
causes in the region. Too expensive, it said, | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
at ?4 million a year. But the tycoon now has | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
a new proposal. What they have said is that they | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
will pay, they are happy to put ?1 million a year in, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
but they want other companies from So there's 11 other companies that | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
are bigger than Virgin Money, if everybody can contribute something, | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
I think we can get to more than So will business in the region | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
take up Sir Richard's challenge? A problem could be that most | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
already donate to charity. One of them is the | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Afghanistan Trust. Since 2007, it has helped members | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
of the Parachute Regiment who are And software company Sage already | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
gives its name to the Gateshead music venue, as well | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
as putting cash into community Rather more straightforward for | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Sir Richard this morning was meeting businesses that Virgin Money | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
has mentored. Andy's company makes activity | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
packs for young children. He was very impressed with | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the fact we have broken even already and we had got from 1000 to 10,000 | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
boxes in six months. It was very encouraging | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
from a man of such stature. As well as helping people like Andy, | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Sir Richard's bank says it has supported 150 charities | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
in the north east. A claim to disarm critics if | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
its proposals for the Northern Rock The chairman of the foundation | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
called the proposal interesting. He said it would be discussed | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
at a board meeting tomorrow and promised that the foundation | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
would respond constructively. He was an influential mayor and an | :08:55. | :09:06. | |
honorary alderman of Scarborough. Today though, Peter Jaconelli, | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
the town's ice cream entrepeneur, was stripped of his titles, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
15 years after his death. The decision was made by the town's | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
council members after recent allegations linking Mr Jaconelli to | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
historic cases of child sex abuse. The names of Scarborough's great and | :09:21. | :09:38. | |
good. The council's list of aldermen. But 15 years after his | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
death, the name of this man, Peter Jaconelli, will now be removed. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Today, council members voted to strip the former mayor of his | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
honorary title following recent claims linking him to historic | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
allegations of sex abuse. Had we known, we would have dealt with him | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
differently. We don't describe him as the former mayor of the borough. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
I think that is very important that all recognition is gone. Allegations | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
against Peter Dzeko Nelly, a friend of Jimmy Savile, were made earlier | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
this year. `` Peter Jaconelli. One of the men who made the allegations | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
was here to witness the council's decision. It is the very least that | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
can be done. I am looking over the people that covered it up. The | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
decision has been supported by people in Scarborough. I know he is | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
dead, but he should not have that respect given to him. I think you | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
need to be a good example to have a title like that. Today's decision | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
will put further distance between Scarborough Council and their once | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
influential mayor. 15 years after his death, the name of Peter | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Jaconelli will now be removed from the council's roll of honour first | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
thing in the morning. Still to come, | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
an end of term report on our two We'll be catching up with | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
the escapades of the intrepid trio of football fans from Teesside | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
and Cumbria, walking across South And what does the weather hold for | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
this week? One of the oldest, | :11:33. | :11:46. | |
working passenge world has returned to a Cumbrian | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
lake after months of renovation. The Lady of the Lake went back | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
into Ullswater this morning after a six`month project | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
which saw the leaking deck rebuilt Alison Freeman went to see it regain | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
its rightful place in the team But the Lady of the Lake has spent | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
six months on dry land while tens of thousands of pounds | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
of renovation work was carried out. Specialist craftsmen replaced | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
the leaking wooden deck on one of the world's oldest working | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
passenger steam boats. It might be sunny here at Ullswater | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
today, but as we know, the Cumbrian weather isn't always so | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
kind, and two steel bulkheads were The boating equivalent of an MOT | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
needs to be carried out on Lady It is important not to throw the | :12:27. | :12:41. | |
heritage of way. It would be very easy to make a more practical in | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
some ways, but we would lose the elegance. And that is cocking a | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
snook at the gentleman who designed, which would be a shame. | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
It might be sunny here at Ullswater today, but as we know, | :13:00. | :13:08. | |
the Cumbrian weather isn't always so kind. | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
Two steel bulkheads were moved to create the extra space. | :13:17. | :13:26. | |
The challenge was to create more room. | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
The boating equivalent of an MOT needs to be carried out on Lady | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
before she regains her rightful place in the working fleet | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
of Ullswater steamers in the next few weeks. | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
Alison Freeman, BBC Look North, Ullswater. | :13:45. | :13:59. | |
And with that, it's full steam ahead to | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
So here we are, at the end of another Premier League season. | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
As well as bringing you yesterday's action, we'll look back | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
at how the season panned out for both Sunderland and Newcastle. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
And we'll start with the Magpies, because despite losing seven | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
of their last eight games, they did finish in the top 10. | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
And their final game was another roller`coaster ride! | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
Yes, games at Anfield tend to be pretty memorable | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
Liverpool were going for the title. But they did play very well. | :14:25. | :14:49. | |
This match was like Newcastle's all season. | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
A couple of dodgy refereeing decisions. | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
That looked a lot worse than it actually was. A corkscrew spin. A | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
reflection of the way it has gone in the last few months. | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
We've had a difficult second half of the season. | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
We should have done better, I should have done better. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
The first half we were pretty close to where we want to be. | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
We will recruit over the summer and our fans need to see that. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
If we can recruit well in the summer, hopefully we can come | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Well, Newcastle might have finished six points higher than they did last | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
season, but there was a very negative end to | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
a campaign that promised so much. Yes, it was a season | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Pushing for a Champions League spot at one | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
stage, Alan Pardew's own personal highlights were the win at Old | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Trafford and the victory over Jose Mourinho's Chelsea at St James'. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
When Yohan Cabaye and Loic Remy were on top form, there seemed | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
And for fans, the departure of Joe Kinnear as Director of Football | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Yes, he'd failed to replace this fella in | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
January and after Cabaye left for PSG, it was downhill all the way. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Newcastle lost both derbies this season 3`0. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
And then Alan Pardew lost his head in an altercation with | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Hull's David Meyler ` a three match stadium ban and four | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
It's a good job United did so well at the start because losing | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
eight of their last ten games looked more like relegation form, | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
leaving fans frustrated and calling for the manager to be sacked. | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
But despite rumours it looks like he's staying. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
Sunderland, of course, were safe from relegation going | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
into their final game of the season at home to Swansea. | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
And that might explain why there was a party atmosphere | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
around the Stadium of Light and why the players maybe weren't as sharp | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
A lot of the players will have been drained after their massive fight | :17:02. | :17:17. | |
back. That was a nice goal, will he stay? | :17:18. | :17:29. | |
It's not looking likely. The fans were in party mood. They | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
just want to hear that Gus Poyet is staying. | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
It's natural in England, as soon as you do a little bit, | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
a little bit, not even big, just a little bit, they say you will | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
I'm really looking forward to the summer. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
This will probably be the best seven days of my life, the next seven. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
And I think Gus Poyet deserves a week off after an amazing season | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
This was probably the turning point. Newcastle had a pretty big say in | :18:00. | :18:21. | |
keeping Sunderland up. Then Gus Poyet came in and after a great | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
weekend, heroic defeat. 5`1 at Tottenham. Fortunately for them, | :18:31. | :18:43. | |
they found a miracle. It was party time last week at the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
stadium of light. Gus Poyet milking the applause. | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
York City are another team hoping to reach Wembley. | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
They'll make another attempt tonight to host the first leg of their | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Yes, they were due to play Fleetwood at | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
But torrential rain left the pitch unplayable so they'll give | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
We'll have action on our late news at 10.25. | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
So York City are hoping to get to Wembley. | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
Gateshead will play there next weekend. | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
But Northern League side West Auckland, | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
winners of the very first World Cup, beat them both to it, didn't they? | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
That's right, West were hoping to make it six | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
years in a row that a Northern League side won the FA Vase, the cup | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
They lost in the final two years ago against Dunston but John Campbell | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
nearly gave them the lead against South Coast club Sholing. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
The County Durham hopefuls were made to pay when a wickedly deflected | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
And the equaliser just wouldn't come. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Disappointed in the result. But not disappointed we didn't win it. It's | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
just one of them things in cup football. | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
Well, I'm afraid our teams didn't just taste Wembley | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
British Basketball League winners Newcastle Eagles were hoping to be | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
crowned play`off winners at Wembley Arena. | :20:11. | :20:11. | |
Top scoring for the Eagles in front of 8,500 fans were | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
But BBL Trophy winners Worcester were in impressive form and | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
Zaire Taylor's 30 points ensured the Wolves led at the end | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
of each quarter, whatever Eagles player`coach Fab | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
So disappointment for Fab and Co at the end. | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
It was Worcester, who took the trophy by 90 points to 78. | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
So, the football season's nearly over! | :20:44. | :20:44. | |
Just the play`offs to come, then the World Cup starts! | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
You might recall our report on the three England fans who were setting | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
out to walk across South America to the World Cup finals in Brazil. | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
They're raising money for charity by walking 1,966km, a memorable number | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
for football fans, through three countries and 29 towns and villages. | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
Well, so far they've been chased by bulls, been electrocuted and | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
Stuart Whincup caught up with them in Uruguay. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
Three men trekking across South America with their golf trolleys. | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
This is what's meant by budget travel. | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
Even the little luxuries seem a little painful. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
Playing football along the way, they've been struck | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
by the kindness they've received in small villages like Baldi. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
They've opened their doors to us, they've fed us, let us watch | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
the foodball at their house and have arranged for us to be able to | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
get safely across to the next town, because it's quite a rough area. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
They did everything they could for us. | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
They left Mendoza in Argentina on the first of March. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
They've opened their doors to us, they've fed us, let us watch | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
the foodball at their house and have arranged for us to be able to | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
get safely across to the next town, because it's quite a rough area. | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
They left Mendoza in Argentina on the first of March. | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
They've now passed the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo and are close | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
They're due to arrive in Porto Alegre in Brazil | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
on June the 8th, four days before the World Cup starts. | :22:08. | :22:16. | |
We camp on beaches and things at the moment, | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
and we're managing to find places where we can buy meat to barbecue. | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
But the gang of three has now become four. | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
Walking through Punta Negra on the Uruguayan coast, | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
We've had quite a few that have followed us for maybe a kilometre | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
In the first instance, we thought, he stinks, we would have to run. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
But by the end of the day, we had grown quite fond of him. | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
Jefferson's now part of the team, having followed the boys for | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
And as they all head to Brazil, the end of their remaerkable journey | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
Over the next few days, fewer scenes like this. We will have fewer | :22:58. | :23:26. | |
showers, more sunshine and getting warmer. This evening, further heavy | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
showers to come for a time. Some lightning around your area as well. | :23:34. | :23:45. | |
`` the York area. Quite chilly tomorrow morning first thing. A few | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
isolated showers, but much more sunshine, especially for the East. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Through the afternoon, things can change again with more showers | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
developing in the North. Top temperature 13 Celsius, with light | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
winters in the North East. In the West, 15 or 16 Celsius, feeling very | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
pleasant with dry skies. Over the next few days, high`pressure rising | :24:22. | :24:33. | |
across the UK. Things settling down for the next few days. Spells of | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
sunshine across Cumbria for Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures | :24:43. | :24:53. | |
could rise to 16 or 17 Celsius by the end of the working week. Similar | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
in the north`east as well, a glorious day on Wednesday. Possibly | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
a bit more cloud here on Thursday. But for the most part, it will feel | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
like spring again. The weather is set to improve through Wednesday and | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Thursday. Thank you. That is all for now. We | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
are back at half`past ten. Goodbye for now. | :25:27. | :26:17. | |
