Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North.

Shock and disbelief as two Newcastle United fans are named as passengers

:00:09.:00:12.

on board the Malaysian Airlhnes jet blasted from the skies.

:00:13.:00:24.

I would rather it was me on the plane and not him because hd is only

:00:25.:00:30.

28. I want everyone to know he was a tremendous blow, if he's looking

:00:31.:00:31.

down. As more details emerge

:00:32.:00:35.

about the horrific crash, tributes to John Alder and Liam Sweeney pour

:00:36.:00:37.

in from friends and fellow fans It is a small city but this is a

:00:38.:00:44.

massive club and this is wh`t we live for and it is the same `` shame

:00:45.:00:49.

that John and Liam are going to miss the many happy years we said ``

:00:50.:00:52.

spent together. It will be ` shame. A clothing firm celebrates

:01:42.:01:44.

and Liam Sweeney were among 10 British passengers travelling

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.
