I would rather it was me on the plane and not him because hd is only | :00:25. | :00:30. | |

down. As more details emerge | :00:32. | :00:35. | |

United fans on their way to watch But John Alder | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
and Liam Sweeney were among 10 British passengers travelling | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
on Malaysian Airlines flight MH 7, the aircraft that was blastdd out | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
of the sky as it flew over Tkraine. Their deaths have caused widespread | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
shock and today tributes to the pair have poured in as more detahls about | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
the horrific plane crash emdrged. Mr Alder, who was in his 60s, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
and 28`year`old Mr Sweeney were flying out to New Zealand to watch | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Newcastle play in a pre`season tour. Andrew Hartley is live for ts at | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
St James' Park now. Andrew, give us some idea of the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
reaction to today's developlents. Carroll, Newcastle is one of the | :02:19. | :02:33. | |
bigger seat fan bases for a football club in at the country but tonight | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
it feels like a close`knit family, such is the level of grief that | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
surrounds this place tonight. Floral tributes have been left all day One | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
of them reads, true Geordies, gone too soon. Another says, we `re not | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
just fans, or we are not just friends, we are family. These words | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
speak for the thousands who view or knew of two of Newcastle 's most | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
devoted fans. Fans so loyal and so devoted. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
John Alder and Liam Sweeney went to every Newcastle match, home or away, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
even if it was a friendly on the other side of the world. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Liam's parents laid flowers at the feet of the Bobby Robson | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
statue outside St James Park in memory of their son. | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
I have lost a son. I am finding it hard to grieve at the moment and I | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
really do not mind speaking to everybody because everybody wants to | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
know and the more they know about Liam and what a good lad he was the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
lad who never said boo to anybody and who never called anyone and no | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
one ever called him and he just did what he wanted to do. I just want | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
everyone to know what a trelendous bloke... I wish I had been on the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
flight consider `` with him and we could've had a drink togethdr. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
John had missed just one gale in 50 years. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Liam, though only 28, was just as committed. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Both were well known to thotsands of Newcastle fans who followed | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
their team up and down the country, and many came to St James P`rk to | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
It is a small city but a massive club and this is what we live for up | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
here. It is such a shame th`t John and Liam are going to miss lany | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
happy years that we have spdnt together, it will be a big shame. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
John was always referred to as the undertaker, we would always see him | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
everywhere, at service stathons going down to the Games, he would | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
speak to the fans and he was always there in his suit and his thme with | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
his long hair. He was an iconic figure in what he used to wdar and | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
it was comforting as they found that he was always there. I just feel it | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
is the right thing to do to come here and pay respects. I thhnk the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
fact that John and Liam, who went to a lot of Games with John, wdre on | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
the way to New Zealand to cheer on the lads again is all we re`lly need | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
to know about them. They were dedicated supporters who gave up a | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
lot of time and effort and loney over the years to go and support the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
club. For me it is just for the families and the club and everyone | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
wants to give their condolences to the family. People who love | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
something so much that they are willing to travel to the end of the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
world and its takes them so tragically. We heard brieflx from | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
Liam's father and we have bden speaking to him at length about the | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
events in the Ukraine. I was hoping all night hoping that one of those | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
nine Britons was not my son. It is horrible towards somebody else but | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
you do think of your own ond when something has happened. I would | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
probably rather it was me shtting on the plane and not him because he is | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
only 28, you know? You can have hatred and I want to go unthl | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
somebody but what happens over there is what happens over there. If | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
someone was hurting here I could do something about it but I can't do | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
anything about it. We hope that with governments will get togethdr and | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
stop it happening again. I just want everyone to know what a trelendous | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
bloke... If he is looking down. I was actually thinking of gohng down | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
to Saint James 's Park after this and having a little look around and | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
being a proud dad. Andrew, the tragic events in Ukraine | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
have clearly left two Tyneshde But two communities are also trying | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
to come to terms with Yes, although this whole story has | :06:42. | :06:53. | |
been played across the world's political stage, much closer to home | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
the emotional impact of it hs being felt across two of our commtnities, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
in Gateshead and in Newcastle, where both men will be sadly missdd, as | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Jim Knight reports. John Alder had lived in this quiet | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Gateshead street for over 50 years. And though Margaret had livdd | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
next`door to him for over 40 of those years, she admits he was | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
such a shy and quiet man shd really He was one of these people xou had | :07:17. | :07:28. | |
to talk to him, he would not make a conversation with you, you had to | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
talk to him. He was quite qtiet and shy? Very quiet. Very shy. John s | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
trademark was his black suit and white shirt on match Games. | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
He always wore it to the gales and earned the nickname frol his | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
He would have his black suit on and his white shirt and he would come | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
out across the road and I would know there was a match on. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
The shock news was slowly spreading down the street today | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Gwen Arthurs remembered how she'd entrusted John to takd her | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Because he wasn't old enough I didn't want him going on his own and | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
I knew he never missed a match so I asked John and he took Christopher | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
and his friend Jack Canty looked after them, you know? | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Liam Sweeney lived with another man on the seventh floor | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
of this Newcastle Tower block near Westgate Road. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
It gave him a spectacular vhew of his beloved St James' Park. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
But, apart from his obvious love of Newcastle United, | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
neighbours on the same landhng knew little else about him. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
I did not expect somebody who lived next door to me to be involved in | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
that. It is sad, isn't that? He spent all of his time following | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Newcastle and ended his lifd going to support Newcastle, it is a little | :08:46. | :08:46. | |
bit tragic. Two men who lived | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
for their football and died Anthony Nicholson new John @lder for | :08:49. | :09:06. | |
four years. What are your mdmories? The events of today are so real and | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
very hard to comprehend. Wh`t makes it sadder is that it is two of our | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
own. I say that as a fan and it should hit a chord with football | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
fans right across the region and around the country in the world My | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
own season ticket for Newcastle was first in 1976 in the paddock, | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
standing in the glorious terraces as they were. Already established at | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
that time was this character known as John the undertaker, distinctive | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
dress of the black trousers and a white shirt and a black jacket and | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
the long straggly hair. Throughout those years and throughout the 8 | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
years since he is absolutelx legendary, no up and down the | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
country, you would see him everywhere. Brighton, Bourndmouth, | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Benfica, Barcelona, you would see him everywhere. Today is a sadder | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
place. United has lost one of their own. A passionate fan? Absolutely | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
passionate and his glass was always half full. Even the darkest days he | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
kept on keeping the faith. He was Newcastle United through and | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
through. Is it true he only missed one game in 50 years? I gather he | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
only missed one game and I do not know if it was home or away. He | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
would walk to some of the G`mes He was a BT engineer and lived in | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Gateshead and he would walk across the Tyne Bridge to some of the | :10:32. | :10:32. | |
Games. We'll be returning to you at | :10:33. | :10:33. | |
St James' Park a little latdr. But live now to Jeff Brown who's | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
at Newcastle Airport for us. Jeff, Newcastle players left there | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
a short time ago It was pretty much business as usual | :10:41. | :10:51. | |
for most of the players as they set on on the first leg of their journey | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
to New Zealand. I think it probably resonated a bit more with the likes | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
of Jack Colback and Steven Taylor, local lads and Newcastle fans before | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
they came players. Newcastld are taking a very different route to the | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
one taken by the flight MH 07. They will refuel in Dubai and land in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Sydney and then they will move on to New Zealand. They will play into | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
friendly matches next week `gainst Sydney and Wellington. The club said | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
that the team will wear black armbands for both Games and there | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
will be a tribute at the first Premier League game of the season | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
for weeks on Sunday. As I understand in Alan Pardew was | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
not with the players? He was not. He is already in London | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
and will link up with the spuad there. He issued the statemdnt | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
saying, myself and all the players are deeply shocked and sadddned by | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
all this terrible news. We knew how passionately John and Liam supported | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
their team and the club and they were with us for the pre`se`son | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
friendly against Oldham and their dedication to travel all around the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
world to support us in New Zealand tells us all you need to know about | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
the passion they had for Newcastle United. Our hearts go out to their | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
and there will be an emotional night in Gateshead tonight. There will be | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
a testimonial match for Jamds Curtis and there will be a minutes silence | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
but it could be a minutes applause. Sunderland fans have been posting | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
tributes on their website. Ht shows that old rivalries can be sdt to one | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
side at times like this. Thank you. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
A County Durham clothing firm set up by former rag trade workdrs | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
is celebrating a major contract with supermarket giant Tesco. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
The AMA Group in Peterlee whll employ 150 people initially | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
Like the minds and the shipxards, so went the rag trade. By the | :12:47. | :13:03. | |
turn`of`the`century the gre`t clothing factories were shedding | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
jobs in the hundreds, usurpdd by cheaper labour abroad. And xet, in a | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
corner of an industrial est`te in Peterlee, a revival is quietly | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
taking shape. Rising costs hn the far east and import duties here mean | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
making British clothes looks viable once again. Obviously things started | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
to move offshore about 15 or 20 years ago and things were more | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
competitive from the far east in particular. There have been huge | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
increases in freight charges in recent years and import dutx | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
charges. As Asia becomes more dependent on their own economy for | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
their own people than the prices are increasing and they are incredibly | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
inflexible as regards volumds. British workers are back in business | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
and now they have won a contract from Tesco. This building w`s | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
originally intended to be a call centre but many of those jobs went | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
abroad as well so there is `n irony that in the end it has been filled | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
by workers from the old`fashioned British rag trade, 150 of them will | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
fill this room over the course of this year with the potential of many | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
more to come here and on thd floor above. Among the Ms Ann`Marhe, a | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
machine arrest from leaving `` a machinist from leaving school she | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
lost her job when another f`ctory went and now she is back. Hoping to | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
get a high street with made in England back on the map. Evdrybody | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
will be looking forward to seeing British made garments back hn the | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
shops. With Tesco clothes now to be made in Peterlee, that will become a | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
reality. That is good to see. | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Hospital parking has long bden a problem for many patients | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
But one of our hospitals has unveiled a fast track soluthon. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
A ?2.2 million railway stathon has been officially opened at J`mes | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
From now, its one million p`tients and visitors every year will have | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
the option of letting the train take the strain. | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
It has been a long time comhng, 25 years after the plans were first | :15:03. | :15:24. | |
discussed, the hospital fin`lly has its own station. The Ministdr of | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
State for transport did the honours. We have got a hospital, one of the | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
most modern hospitals, cutthng edge, four minutes away from Middlesbrough | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
by Pablo Trevisan in effect and that can make a really big difference to | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
the whole area and it encourages people to come by public tr`nsport | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
rather than clogging up the roads. You only have to try | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
and find a parking space to realise It has more than 6,500 | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
staff working here. And over one million patients | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
and visitors come through So it's easy to understand | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
why it's congested. The new station's welcomed | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
but some say it's not enough. They say the area's rail network is | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
in desperate need of modernhsation. 14 trains will pass | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
through here every day. At the moment it is 53 minutes from | :16:08. | :16:21. | |
Darlington to Saltburn and ` decent runner could do it better so that | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
cannot be acceptable. We have ancient trains that are not fit for | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
purpose. They have been out of date for 25 years and we need solething | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
decent and we should stop pttting up with it because in the south of | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
England there is some wonderful rolling stock. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
14 trains will pass through here every day. | :16:41. | :16:41. | |
And as as well as the hospital the station will | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
also serve a new housing estate and Middlesbrough's ?18 million sports | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
Now you may have noticed th`t while the south basked | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
in sizzling temperatures today, here in the North East and Cumbria | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Parts of the south recorded their highest temperature of | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
the year so far but here thd weather was a whopping 14 degrees cooler. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
We sent Phil Connell to Whitby to report on the weather's winners | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
The forecasters said it was the hottest day of the year so far but | :17:10. | :17:26. | |
in our region there was little evidence of that. These werd the | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
scenes in Whitby, cloudy and at 17 degrees, the sea tempting only the | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
very bravest. I came out in shorts this morning and then I went home | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
and got changed. It is a bit too cold. We are quite used to ht. It is | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
cold, definitely, but it is the north`east, isn't it? Our brother is | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
in Hampshire and we go down there in August and when we get therd they | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
are as brown as nuts and we have seen two days of sun! In contrast | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
the South of England saw temperatures at 32 degrees. Swimming | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
pools were the best place to be with one BBC colleague in Hastings all | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
too keen to paint a picture there. You can tell we are feeling really | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
sorry for you down in Hastings where it has been up to 26 degrees during | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
the day, in these blue skies and blue seas. Elsewhere around the | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
south`east coast it has been up to 29 degrees. Pride always coles | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
before a fall. Tomorrow thex say it is than the storms and rain here, | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
even for us. We are making the most of it while we can. Along otr | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
coastline the sun may not h`ve shone today and in fact it is even | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
starting to rain but those down south cannot really compete with | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
this. Spectacular views and the best fish and chips. Here in Whitby | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
businesses were putting on ` brave face. The temperatures were 14 | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
degrees lower than those in the south. We are a hardy folk tp north. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
We are not scared of the rahn. If it rains we will put a now watdrproofs | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
and carry on. If it was that temperature it would be too much. We | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
all want it sunny but not where it is torturing. A story today of a | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
divided Britain but with storms gales and hail predicted, wd could | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
all be in the same boat by this time tomorrow. But did you see that | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
report in the South? Pebble Beach is! | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
No, they do not have the sand like us. | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
We have no chips on our shotlders. But we have great sport as well We | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
do indeed. It's five months since Brithsh | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
basketball was rocked by UK Sport's decision to remove | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
its elite funding. The view was that neither the men's | :19:45. | :19:45. | |
nor the women's teams could win But the number of youngsters playing | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
the game outstrips most of hts rivals, and now the sport's hitting | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
back, as Mark Tulip explains. This is the 55 page Commons report | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
that basketball`friendly MP's hope will boost funding for the sport | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
at both elite and grassroots level. The policy to concentrate money | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
on those sports most likely to win medals in the medium term h`s been | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
successful but controversial. The all`party group, chaired | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
by a North East MP, points tp the social benefits of baskdtball, | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
especially among young people It will land on the desk of every | :20:16. | :20:30. | |
Secretary of State and everx MP s mailbox as well as players `nd we | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
are hoping that they will sde the social benefits that there hs from | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
basketball. It is so unique in so many ways to other sports, the link | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
to education, the linked crhme reduction and all of this jtst | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
seemed anecdotal until we dhd the enquiry and we have hard and fast | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
evidence. As recently as last year, | :20:50. | :20:50. | |
basketball, which enjoys a high profile in our region because of the | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
Newcastle Eagles' success on court and in schools, was second only to | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
football in terms of regular participation by young people 1 | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
and over, including pupils Our argument has a sport is that we | :20:59. | :21:10. | |
would like to see fairer funding at all levels and that is what the | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
enquiry report is all about, to positively put across the mdssage | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
that there is a lot of activity and the participation rates are higher | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
than you would expect and there is great work going on. | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
Basketball often feels second best to other team sports such as netball | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
and hockey but Sport England insists there's plenty of grassroots money | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
going in, ?9 million over four years, just not all paid direct to | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
the sport's governing body which has been accused of not doing | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Should there be a re`think on funding, though? | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
The kids are playing it, thdy want to play it but the progresshon | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
through the sport is the issue. We are progressing and we are now in | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
the top 25 in the world for our professional players and top 12 in | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Europe. We were in the top 75 years ago so we have progressed btt if you | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
cut off the funding at that elite level, it makes it even harder. Are | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
we ever going to get there hf there is no funding to help us get there? | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Over the course of this weekend some of the most skilful and courageous | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
motorbike riders will be taking part in two world championship stages | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
The globe's top ranked trials riders will be revving their machines over | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
some of the most demanding terrain imaginable, sometimes up | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
We sent Mark McAlindon to see them practising. | :22:24. | :22:33. | |
Think this is just a quarry? Think again. | :22:34. | :22:49. | |
Most motorsports are to do with speed and against the clock `` clock | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
but we are not about that, we are about slow balance, control and | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
clicking about and riding over stuff so it is pretty cool. You w`nt to | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
know what it is really like for the guys that right discourse, they have | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
to go over this rock and between these two red markers. The only | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
problem is they have two st`rt right down at the bottom and dried up some | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
sheer faces. You have got to be brave. | :23:17. | :23:32. | |
People come here and they gdt a fantastic weekend. You walk around | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
and there is action from 930 in the morning to four p.m.. It is a great | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
weekend for people to watch, especially in Cumbria and it is | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
great to have it here. We c`n understand how difficult it is and | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
how tremendous balance they must have. It is phenomenal the way they | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
handled themselves. It is brilliant. I like to be the first diffhcult | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
section, it is always a crowd pleaser but at the end of the date | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
is about keeping your feet tp and doing the best job that you can that | :24:05. | :24:21. | |
is what we have to do. You have to be crazy to take part in th`t, | :24:22. | :24:22. | |
haven't you? A second Test century at Lord's | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
from Yorkshire's Gary Ballance has helped England get back | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
on track after they lost two early Durham's Ben Stokes took | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
the last Indian wicket this morning to restrict the visitors to 295 | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
on Day Two of the 2nd Test. But after England's nervous start, | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
it was left to Ballance to steady 's he was eventually out for 11 . | :24:37. | :24:54. | |
Now let us see what we have with the weather. We are sick of hearing | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
about the sun! It is not great. This rainy globe | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
tells us a hint of what we have coming up. Tomorrow we have heavy | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
showers, thundery and slow loving with large hailstones on thd way as | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
well in places. A yellow warning for reigning Cumbria and the | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
north`east. An amber warning of rain in North Yorkshire. Tonight will be | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
misty and mild with temperature some places not getting lower th`n 1 | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
even in the dead of night. Tonight we'll be sticky with a few showers | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
but tomorrow morning the showers really pick up in intensity and | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
splash up from the south. The black `` the bright colours of yellow and | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
green on the map are indicating the heaviest areas of rainfall. In the | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
afternoon it will become drx but showers could return later hn the | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
afternoon and the evening. The temperatures are not bad and it will | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
feel pleasant when you avoid the showers it will be particul`rly | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
unpleasant in the West throtgh the afternoon. The lightning fl`shes | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
don't indicate exactly wherd lightning strikes could occtr, we | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
are not that clever yet but they are just an indication of quite how I'm | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
settled the forecast tomorrow is. Expect frequent lightning flashes | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
and hail with those thundershowers continuing well into the evdning in | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
Cumbria. It will be warm whhch drives these thundery showers. The | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
big picture, low pressure in charge through Sunday as well so wd are | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
expecting further showers on the east coast but it will be dry in | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Cumbria for the second day of the weekend. | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
Certainly not dull! Back now to | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
our main story this evening, the loss of two Newcastle United fans | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
in the Malaysian Airlines crash Tributes to John Alder and | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
Liam Sweeney continue to potr in. A final thought from Andrew Hartley | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
who's live for us at St Jamds' Park. Tonight there is a deep sense of | :26:59. | :27:10. | |
loss around St James's Park. John Alder and Liam Sweeney were not | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
attention seekers or famous but it is not an exaggeration to s`y that | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
they had outstanding loyaltx to Newcastle united over many xears | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
make them known to thousands. They were all united in their sh`red | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
passion for one club. Tonight in the words of one online fan sitd, | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
supporting Newcastle united will never quite be the same agahn. | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
Thank you. Absolutely tragic. That is it from us tonight. We whll be | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
back at 10:25 p.m.. Good night. | :27:45. | :27:47. |
