cooler through the weekend, but the weather is looking pretty

:00:00.:00:17.

Plans for a spectacular opening ceremony as the Great North Run

:00:18.:00:31.

prepares for its millionth runner this year. And we catch up with

:00:32.:00:34.

the Antiques Roadshow team as hundreds of hopefuls dust down

:00:35.:00:37.

In sport, Hartlepool's Graele Storm flies the flag for the north east

:00:38.:00:42.

And Yorkshire's Joe Root top scores for England to help rescue

:00:43.:00:47.

the first day of the first test against Sri Lanka.

:00:48.:01:02.

There's been a dramatic escalation in thd

:01:03.:01:04.

investigation into the explosives alert at Newcastle University.

:01:05.:01:07.

The North East Counter Terrorism Unit has now taken over

:01:08.:01:14.

the operation, after a second alert on the campus.

:01:15.:01:16.

Early this morning, police evacuated a housing block

:01:17.:01:19.

after finding another suspicious substance, 48 hours on from a

:01:20.:01:22.

The bomb squad spent much of the day at the University, and withhn the

:01:23.:01:27.

last hour Northumbria policd have been giving us more information

:01:28.:01:30.

Peter Harris is live at their Ponteland HQ now.

:01:31.:01:33.

If there was any doubt about the potential seriousness of thhs

:01:34.:01:45.

investigation, it has been removed in the last half`hour, without

:01:46.:01:50.

confirmation that police have handed this over to the north`east

:01:51.:01:54.

counterterrorism unit. How did this begin? We have discovered this

:01:55.:01:58.

evening that it started with suspicions about an individtal

:01:59.:02:04.

student, about concerns of changes in his behaviour. It turns out a

:02:05.:02:09.

neighbourhood police officer went to his room, but a look around, find

:02:10.:02:13.

items they were not happy whth and from there, this whole thing took

:02:14.:02:19.

off. There was an evacuation, the discovery of suspicious substances

:02:20.:02:23.

and later on, that student was tracked down and arrested in central

:02:24.:02:27.

London. The police have been telling us what happened when they went that

:02:28.:02:34.

student's room. A number of items were seen in the bedroom whhch gave

:02:35.:02:41.

cause for concern and we lalented a well`established response plan,

:02:42.:02:45.

which included evacuation of the building and pigmentation of

:02:46.:02:51.

cordons. In line with nationally agreed protocols, counterterrorism

:02:52.:02:54.

officers attended the scene and as a result of their initial assdssment,

:02:55.:03:00.

a military explosive unit attended the scene. Following a detahled

:03:01.:03:04.

assessment, the items were identified as being exposes. They

:03:05.:03:09.

were removed by the militarx in a controlled explosion, carridd out at

:03:10.:03:18.

exposition Park. With all of this upheaval today, what our sttdents

:03:19.:03:20.

and staff saying? There is an alarm, if anythhng, it's

:03:21.:03:26.

curiosity. Many students have gone home. We have been speaking to both

:03:27.:03:33.

students and to staff. It is fortunate that the exam perhod has

:03:34.:03:39.

just finished and there are few students left in most of thd

:03:40.:03:42.

University. Yes, just a bit of disruption for us.

:03:43.:03:53.

We still have two Russian students under arrest. They have not been

:03:54.:03:58.

charged. One is being held `t a police station in central London.

:03:59.:04:04.

Another is being held at a police station in the Northumbria police

:04:05.:04:09.

dash area. The student being held in London is being held under the

:04:10.:04:12.

counterterrorism act. The other student is being held on suspicion

:04:13.:04:17.

of conspiracy to commit gridvous bodily harm. Also, under

:04:18.:04:22.

investigation for explosive devices. This is a fast`moving

:04:23.:04:28.

investigation. It is now with the north`east counterterrorism unit. We

:04:29.:04:31.

will follow it through the dvening and will have more at 10:25pm. What

:04:32.:04:45.

do we know about where this investigation started?

:04:46.:04:50.

It is a shiny new bit of Newcastle University. It opened in September

:04:51.:04:55.

2012. It is basically descrhbed as the campus language centre. The

:04:56.:05:01.

university is keen to show ht off. It plays a key role for

:05:02.:05:11.

international students. Applications are made to it by a direct

:05:12.:05:17.

admissions centre. We also know that 533 students actually live hn that

:05:18.:05:23.

part of the university as wdll. How many international studdnts are

:05:24.:05:28.

there as Newcastle University? There are about 4000 intern`tional

:05:29.:05:30.

students at university. Thex come from 110 different nationalhties,

:05:31.:05:35.

across the world. Russian students in particular are very welcome. They

:05:36.:05:42.

have a good reputation. There is even a special Russian scholarship

:05:43.:05:46.

for those particular students. These students are important

:05:47.:05:49.

financially as well, aren't there? They are, because of the gap between

:05:50.:05:55.

EU students and the amount international students pay. A

:05:56.:05:59.

chemistry student, a three`xear course, a UK student would pay

:06:00.:06:04.

?27,000 over three years. An international student would pay

:06:05.:06:10.

?46,470. The gap gets even bigger longer the longer the coursd.

:06:11.:06:15.

Looking at Madison, a five`xear course costs ?36,000 for a TK

:06:16.:06:22.

student. The International student will pay ?116,990 for the fhve`year

:06:23.:06:25.

course. We heard about suspicions bding

:06:26.:06:29.

raised. Does the University security that the students?

:06:30.:06:34.

It doesn't. What it says is that basically, it follows the home

:06:35.:06:39.

office these procedures. Thdy are vetted effectively at that stage.

:06:40.:06:45.

University is keen to that ht is business as usual, academic`lly

:06:46.:06:46.

Academic life goes on. Thousands of jobs and hundrdds

:06:47.:07:02.

of millions of pounds pumped It's claimed that could be the

:07:03.:07:07.

outcome of an ?80 million The scheme has been proposed

businesses and local authorhties. Our Business Correspondent Han Reeve

reports. It is estimated that passengers

:07:31.:07:39.

alighting at this station spend ?5 million in the local economx. But

:07:40.:07:46.

this man, the boss of Teeside enterprise agency, along with

:07:47.:07:49.

Darlington Council, thinks xet more potential exists. Spend mondy

:07:50.:07:54.

upgrading the station and the benefits would be enormous. There

:07:55.:07:57.

will be a significant incre`se to the local economy. That would be in

:07:58.:08:01.

terms of hundreds of millions of pounds over the period. If xou think

:08:02.:08:05.

about 25,000 new jobs, the hncomes they would have, so you can see it

:08:06.:08:09.

is a significant boost which would come. Unsurprisingly, busindsses

:08:10.:08:16.

like the idea. This engineering company is in favour. But whth a

:08:17.:08:21.

caveat. There is no point stepping of the station to be met with a wall

:08:22.:08:25.

of traffic or inadequate infrastructure to get away xou need

to be. We are two or three liles from the train station but ht can

:08:30.:08:33.

take 20 minutes on a bad dax. There is a hedge. The station is owned by

:08:34.:08:39.

network rail. It is spending cash if spending has been allocated until

:08:40.:08:45.

2019 and Darlington is not hn its plans. The regeneration could be a

:08:46.:08:46.

long time coming. A man arrested on suspicion

:08:47.:08:51.

of murdering the York chef Claudia Lawrence has been rd`bailed

:08:52.:08:53.

by police. Claudia has been missing

:08:54.:08:55.

for more than five years. A 59`year`old man was arrested

:08:56.:08:58.

last month then released on bail. North Yorkshire Police say

:08:59.:09:01.

further enquiries are being made. The Fire Brigades' Union is out

:09:02.:09:05.

on strike across the region today, after starting a 24`hour walkout

:09:06.:09:08.

at 9am. Contingency plans are in pl`ce

:09:09.:09:12.

to provide emergency cover. The strike is part

ceremony was celebrate the spirit of running for everyone. 1 million is

much more than just a statistic It is a movement, a sporting movement

participation, endeavour, industry and ingenuity.

in September. If you've ever found

:17:05.:17:10.

a train journey a little monotonous, here's an idea that's just been

tried out on the East Coast mainline Middlesbrough comedian

Patrick Monahan entertained people Jonathan Swingler took

a way to make the train journey from Kings Cross to Darlington

:17:26.:17:30.

a lot better for passengers. He's managed to get his own

:18:34.:18:39.

a great idea. I thought it was great. A different journey. I wasn't

expecting it. After three hours of stand tp

:21:44.:21:48.

It's a fact that one in thrde cars built in the UK have been btilt

:21:49.:21:56.

right here. This Sunderland plant turns out to new cars every minute.

:21:57.:22:00.

Last year alone, over 500,000 cars rolled off the production lhne. And

:22:01.:22:05.

these are some of the peopld who keep the plant operating smoothly. I

:22:06.:22:11.

am a maintenance team leader. I ve worked here for 27 years. I was one

:22:12.:22:16.

of the original trainees. They keep the engine ticking over. I have a

:22:17.:22:22.

maintenance instalment. I'vd been with the company for 25 years. My

name is insane. I mean the maintenance technician. I work in a

selection brought us some interesting clouds, some interesting

:23:01.:23:02.

wildlife and of course, somd great bluebells. But what was it that

:23:03.:23:10.

caught the eye of our judges? The first runner up is Dan Myers. It's a

:23:11.:23:14.

very atmospheric picture with the sun peeping through.

:23:15.:23:23.

The second runner up... It hs a set of beautifully by the seasonal

:23:24.:23:40.

bluebells in the foreground. This was by David Stevenson.

:23:41.:23:47.

There can only be one winner and it is back to the Co Durham co`stline

:23:48.:23:54.

for that. The winner was Jalie McElderry from Washington. His photo

:23:55.:23:57.

was a First World War metal sculpture. We thought the phcture

:23:58.:24:03.
