Now it's time for the news where

:00:00.:00:13.

The detective leading a murder investigation

:00:14.:00:15.

in Middlesbrough says he's closer than ever to making an arrest.

:00:16.:00:21.

The body of Rachel Wilson, ` sex worker, was discovered in 2012,

:00:22.:00:24.

Today Rachel's mother made a fresh appeal for informathon.

:00:25.:00:28.

Tina Wilson says that she whll not rest until

:00:29.:01:14.

You just wondering, is that anybody that you know? It is just that you

:01:15.:01:25.

cannot trust anybody any more. During that time, vital fridnds

:01:26.:01:32.

gathered and is was lost to the investigation. But for police,

:01:33.:01:36.

Rachel's murder remained a top priority. New lines of enquhry could

:01:37.:01:46.

be emerging. From tracking down Rachel's friends and former work

:01:47.:01:50.

colleagues. There are still no arrests in this case, why is it

:01:51.:01:54.

taking police so long? We h`ve to be clear about what we are

:01:55.:01:57.

investigating, we are keen to make an arrest but it has to be hnformed

:01:58.:02:01.

and accurate. It is a big ddcision but one what should we will take

:02:02.:02:12.

with the time is right. Do xou think the police are getting closdr? I

:02:13.:02:16.

do. And I really hope and pray that they have sorted it this ye`r. For

:02:17.:02:21.

her mother, today marks another difficult anniversary. Still

:02:22.:02:27.

hopeful, however, that her killer can be found 12 years after she

:02:28.:02:29.

disappeared. The A1 Western Bypass

:02:30.:02:31.

on Tyneside is notorious for traffic jams, but now the Government has

:02:32.:02:33.

announced a ?77 million upgrade to add an extra lane on a four`mile

:02:34.:02:36.

section near the MetroCentrd. But there's still no confirlation

:02:37.:02:39.

on whether the A1 further north in Northumberland will get

:02:40.:02:41.

its long`awaited dual carri`geway. Here's our Political

:02:42.:02:43.

Correspondent Mark Denten. 116,000 vehicles travel

:02:44.:02:54.

on this bit of road every wdekday. It?s one of the busiest sections

:02:55.:02:57.

of the A1 and if you've been stuck Today then the roads ministdr was

:02:58.:03:00.

here promising to turn the bit of road between Coal House `nd the

:03:01.:03:04.

Metro Centre from two lanes to three I know this piece of road vdry well.

:03:05.:03:20.

I have come up here many tiles and sat stationary in traffic. Ht has a

:03:21.:03:29.

real impact on motorists, and on the economy.

:03:30.:03:31.

It will cost up to ?77 millhon to do that ` in other words nearlx ?5

:03:32.:03:35.

But just a few miles north of here in Northumberland the A 's

:03:36.:03:39.

How long before that work's done too?

:03:40.:03:42.

We have two big rips that wd are scrutinising at the moment. Two of

:03:43.:03:50.

them are in the North East. We are doing a bit of this but there is

:03:51.:03:53.

more possibly today. The other one that we are looking at is the A . It

:03:54.:04:00.

is not the biggest road the country but it is one of the most d`ngerous.

:04:01.:04:04.

We will hopefully try to address this in the Autumn Statement this

:04:05.:04:05.

year. ?2,595 per head is spent

on transport in London comp`red to This haulage firm says making

the the rest of the A1 a dual carriagewax would

:04:12.:04:14.

help redress the balance. We want to be connected to our

:04:15.:04:31.

friends in Edinburgh, we want to have a good road between London and

:04:32.:04:34.

Edinburgh. It is not just about this region, it is about the whole of the

:04:35.:04:36.

UK. It'll take 18 months to

carry out the work here. Hopefully eventually getting the

stations and lengthy journexs. The region's services,

:04:43.:04:48.

operated by Northern Rail, have come under fire from both

:04:49.:04:52.

passenger groups and politicians. The Government says it's investing

:04:53.:04:55.

?1 billion over the next five years, improving the railways in the north,

:04:56.:04:57.

and has begun a consultation ahead There are three specific ardas where

:04:58.:05:14.

I think they have in substantial improvements. One of them is the

:05:15.:05:18.

Carlisle to Newcastle route. We want to see trains stopping at the small

:05:19.:05:22.

stations, but we also want to see an express lane as well. That way we

:05:23.:05:29.

can have a fast train. The rolling stock has also been quite poor

:05:30.:05:35.

quality. And thirdly there hs peer connectivity in Cumbria. Th`t needs

:05:36.:05:37.

to be improved. Northern Rail, which runs

the services, says passenger satisfaction has gone up in the past
