The Chancellor comes back to where the recession began to

:00:15.:00:20.

Weather at the seafront del`ys the start of the

:00:21.:00:23.

The first conviction as part of Operation Sanctuary.

:00:24.:00:29.

And disabled campaigners fight to retain their way of life

:00:30.:00:31.

In sport, it is a gold judo medal for South

:00:32.:00:41.

And can Jemma follow Aimee's lead and get onto the podium

:00:42.:00:45.

And today the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared it had

:00:46.:00:59.

George Osborne took a stroll down Northumberland Street

:01:00.:01:02.

in Newcastle where seven years ago angry investors queued to whthdraw

:01:03.:01:07.

He said the recession was now over and the national and region`l

:01:08.:01:14.

But the Labour MP whose constituency he was visiting was not convinced.

:01:15.:01:22.

The Chancellor also had one other carrot to dangle for our region,

:01:23.:01:25.

It was the first run on a b`nk in 150 years.

:01:26.:01:31.

That bank was Northern Rock, which had borrowed well beyond its

:01:32.:01:36.

means and came tumbling down, the first casualty of the banking crash

:01:37.:01:39.

Northern Rock is now Virgin Money and today George Osborne came to

:01:40.:01:46.

visit the Northumberland Street branch, and the staff,

:01:47.:01:48.

to declare that the recession was over and the economy has returned to

:01:49.:01:51.

He then addressed staff at Virgin Money HQ where 200 new jobs

:01:52.:02:01.

I wanted to come along todax after all that you have been through

:02:02.:02:11.

I wanted to come along today after all that you have been throtgh over

:02:12.:02:11.

the last seven years and say all that you have been through over

:02:12.:02:12.

the last seven years and sax thank you very much for sticking with

:02:13.:02:18.

Northern Rock and sticking with a virgin and turning the spike around.

:02:19.:02:29.

`` turning this bank around. Thank you very much.

:02:30.:02:41.

The MP whose constituency hd was visiting said local people did not

:02:42.:02:44.

The cost of living places are still affecting people. It may be fixed

:02:45.:03:01.

for George Osborne, but it is not for George Osborne, but it hs not

:03:02.:03:04.

fixed for the people that I represent.

:03:05.:03:06.

The employment figures bear this out.

:03:07.:03:08.

At 9.6% unemployment, the North East is the country's jobless blackspot.

:03:09.:03:11.

But 64,000 more people have jobs than did so in 2010.

:03:12.:03:13.

And we have the most jobs in the country created by a

:03:14.:03:16.

So fewer people signing on, but Mr Osborne was, at Virgin Money

:03:17.:03:32.

How about jewel in? I think there is a compelling case, so I was looking

:03:33.:03:42.

at that the other day. We are doing a study for that. This was ` hugely

:03:43.:03:45.

a study for that. This was a hugely symbolic venue for George Osborne to

:03:46.:03:49.

visit this morning. This was the Northern Rock headquarters with the

:03:50.:03:56.

financial crash started. According to the government, this is where of

:03:57.:03:57.

the recession has ended. A County Durham man has become

:03:58.:04:06.

the first person to be jailed as part of a police investigathon into

:04:07.:04:10.

the sexual exploitation of women. 45`year`old Gurhan Sayan,

:04:11.:04:14.

of Chester`le`Street, was jailed for 45 months at Newcastle Crown

:04:15.:04:24.

Court for a sex attack The prosecution formed part

:04:25.:04:27.

of Operation Sanctuary. Our correspondent Peter Harris

:04:28.:04:30.

reports. He targeted a lone woman

:04:31.:04:31.

on a night out. And today 45`year`old Gurhan Sayan

:04:32.:04:34.

became the first man jailed as part of a police investigation

:04:35.:04:38.

into assaults on vulnerable people. This was described

:04:39.:04:45.

as an opportunistic crime. The victim had been on a night out

:04:46.:04:47.

here in Newcastle city centre. She's 28, she had been drinking and,

:04:48.:04:51.

feeling woozy, she decided to sit down on the curb and that w`s

:04:52.:04:56.

when Gurhan Sayan spotted her. He got her into his car, drove her

:04:57.:05:06.

off, she comes round in the backseat The police say he then dumpdd her

:05:07.:05:10.

on a roadside in Elswick. She was disorientated

:05:11.:05:13.

and did not know where she was. The court heard

:05:14.:05:16.

since Sayan?s attack last remember, the victim has become depressed and

:05:17.:05:21.

nervous, sees Sayan?s face when she Sayan, a married man with no

:05:22.:05:26.

convictions, was prosecuted under the umbrella of Operation S`nctuary,

:05:27.:05:33.

launched by Northumbria Police to The force said Sayan's sentdnce

:05:34.:05:43.

of 45 months, after admitting the sexual `ssault,

:05:44.:05:45.

shows that those who abuse woman Police were called yesterday to

:05:46.:06:10.

Gateshead and say no one else was involved in the death of man who was

:06:11.:06:12.

found in the water. Local estate agent Kevin Hollinrake

:06:13.:06:19.

has been chosen to replace sitting Conservative MP Anne McIntosh

:06:20.:06:21.

as the party's candidate for Thirsk and Malton

:06:22.:06:24.

at next year's general election. Ms McMcIntosh was controversially

:06:25.:06:25.

sacked as candidate by her own Last night's vote

:06:26.:06:28.

at York racecourse took four hours. It is being called the Battle

:06:29.:06:35.

for Botton. A campaign by a group of people with

:06:36.:06:37.

learning disabilities to prdserve the way of life they say they have

:06:38.:06:39.

enjoyed for decades in their village Since the creation of the Camphill

:06:40.:06:43.

Village Trust, its residents have lived with unpaid volunteers who

:06:44.:06:46.

support and care for them. Now those carers are

:06:47.:06:49.

being asked to move out. Managers say it is being done

:06:50.:06:56.

to comply with new laws and that James Wilson has lived here for 12

:06:57.:07:13.

years. She stays with volunteers called co`workers. But note the

:07:14.:07:14.

trust which runs it says this cannot trust which runs it says thhs cannot

:07:15.:07:19.

continue as the law requires co`workers to become paid staff,

:07:20.:07:21.

co`workers to become paid staff living separately from residents. We

:07:22.:07:24.

spoke to James on a trip hole to living separately from residents. We

:07:25.:07:26.

spoke to James on a trip hole to see his family. These changes have made

:07:27.:07:36.

me very frightened because they are nice to me and they helped le quite

:07:37.:07:38.

:07:39.:07:45.

house, I will leave and come back to my mother and father's housd, where

my mother and father's house, where I am sitting now. I do not think you

living, but being employed should not be a barrier to continuhng the

:08:35.:08:36.

specialness of what happens here. However, the staff would not be able

:08:37.:08:41.

to share homes and lives 24 hours a day as they do know. I have to stay

:08:42.:08:45.

on this side of the road because they have told walking off `` look

:08:46.:08:50.

north to stay away from the village and have denied us permission to

:08:51.:08:54.

film what any of the residents. It strikes me as a potential breach of

:08:55.:08:56.

human rights. We should be `llowed human rights. We should be `llowed

to express their thoughts. Concerns can be voiced. I think it is very

precious. The trust says th`t other precious. The trust says that other

Carlisle Civic Centre could be knocked down as part

:09:50.:09:51.

of plans to increase retail space within the city.

:09:52.:09:53.

The council says there is a need for more shops, and one option is

:09:54.:09:56.

bulldozing the Civic Centre, the city's tallest building.

:09:57.:09:58.

Shopping in Carlisle needs to expand over

:09:59.:10:01.

the next 15 years, that is according to the City Council, which says

:10:02.:10:04.

expansion is needed to see off the threats from out`of`town shopping

:10:05.:10:06.

and other retail locations hn the North of England and in Scotland.

:10:07.:10:10.

The plan to keep shoppers spending in Carlisle is ambitious

:10:11.:10:13.

and involves the complete transformation of Rickergatd.

:10:14.:10:18.

Love it or loathe it, Carlisle's Civic Centre has dominated this

:10:19.:10:21.

But as the City Council strive to keep pace

:10:22.:10:29.

with the changing face of rdtail, this building could go and in its

:10:30.:10:32.

We need to ensure that Carlisle has a robust retail offer

:10:33.:10:40.

and what we need to do, what we have been doing, is identify where we can

:10:41.:10:44.

put 200,000 square feet of retail floor space in the city centre,

:10:45.:10:48.

But is knocking down the Civic Centre a step too far?

:10:49.:10:55.

To get rid of that thing, would be quite a good idea, to be honest.

:10:56.:11:08.

The public in Carlisle will have the chance to comment on

Now, the 26th Sunderland International Airshow

:11:11.:11:21.

Flying was due to get underway this evening.

:11:22.:11:25.

Tonight's programme has been cancelled, surprisingly,

Damian O'Neil joins us now live from there now.

:11:30.:11:38.

It looks beautiful there. I never recall when I drove into

And we start with the news that within the last half hour the region

:19:56.:19:59.

has won its first gold medal in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

:20:00.:20:04.

It has come in the judo hall, where Sarah Clark from South Shields beat

where she is looking to take place on the podium just as she dhd in

on the podium just as she did in 2010. It is so good. I have been

:21:22.:21:32.

waiting for this for quite ` while. It is a privilege. The girls are

:21:33.:21:38.

really talented and it is great to play next to them and get my first

:21:39.:21:45.

cap. Nail`biting action for the one borders this afternoon, aftdr a

:21:47.:22:02.

decide the match. In squash, silver medallists progressed to moral's

:22:03.:22:14.

finals. Disappointment in the cycling and in the air pistols.

:22:15.:22:47.

I've just come off the back of a good win.

:22:48.:22:50.

I won the championships, I had three good fights in there.

:22:51.:22:53.

And I've had a good trainer, so I'm in good form.

:22:54.:22:56.

For me, anything but a gold medal would be

:22:57.:23:02.

Ever since that controversi`l defeat last month, Stuart has been keeping

:23:03.:23:05.

himself fit and keeping fingers crossed for another chance.

:23:06.:23:07.

Not surprisingly, he is delhghted to be getting another crack

:23:08.:23:09.

at the world title and this time, in his native north`east.

:23:10.:23:12.

It is brilliant, like you s`id, Dennis Hobson has done a great job

:23:13.:23:15.

getting me home support, winning the purse, getting it in the North East.

:23:16.:23:25.

I think it's going to be grdat for the North East and it will be great

:23:26.:23:29.

for me when the fight gets tough in the mid`rounds or late rounds,

:23:30.:23:32.

His opponent, Randy Caballero, sounds formidable though.

:23:33.:23:37.

The 23`year`old American is 11 years younger than Stuart

:23:38.:23:40.

and is currently unbeaten in 21 fights, including 13 knockotts.

:23:41.:23:48.

He's impressive, he's an impressive figure,

:23:49.:23:49.

But he's coming to England, he has never fought out

:23:50.:23:53.

He has always fought, I think, in California, in his home town.

:23:54.:23:57.

Stuart was in his local branch of Spec Savers to throw

:23:58.:24:00.

his support behind their fundraising campaign for a number of ch`rities,

:24:01.:24:04.

including St Theresa's Hosphce, where Stuart's aunt sadly lost her

:24:05.:24:10.

It is close to my heart, St Theresa's Hospice.

:24:11.:24:13.

My auntie, she died of cancer, and the hospice looked after her

:24:14.:24:16.

I get a bit emotional, thinking about my auntie. Stuart has a simple

:24:17.:24:34.

Look out, Mr Caballero, Stuart Hall is coming for you.

:24:35.:24:44.

Just that ribbon of the wall cloud sticking to the course there.

:24:45.:24:57.

Just that ribbon of the wall cloud sticking to the course therd. And of

:24:58.:24:57.

sticking to the course there. And of course it is a flight safetx issue,

:24:58.:25:01.

course it is a flight safety issue, as we have heard. Today we saw some

:25:02.:25:04.

very high temperatures here in the West. Look at the differencd to that

:25:05.:25:12.

north`east coast. Over the weekend, things will turn a little more

:25:13.:25:14.

cloudy, there is an increashng things will turn a little more

:25:15.:25:17.

cloudy, there is an increasing risk cloudy, there is an increasing risk

:25:18.:25:17.

of outbreaks of rain. If yot have of outbreaks of rain. If you have

:25:18.:25:19.

been struggling with the he`t, it been struggling with the heat, it

:25:20.:25:23.

will start to feel a little fresher. As we head through this evening,

:25:24.:25:28.

that cloud and most will st`rt to spread inland again. I do not think

:25:29.:25:32.

it will be, as widespread as it has done over the last few nights.

:25:33.:25:37.

Temperatures stay in double figures. Nothing colder than 11 or 12

:25:38.:25:42.

Celsius. Tomorrow morning, that will cloud and missed stars to rdduced ``

:25:43.:25:50.

retreat. It is not all plain sailing tomorrow, that will be some workload

:25:51.:25:52.

than we have had over the last few than we have had over the l`st few

:25:53.:26:13.

days. `` some workload. `` some `` cloud. That is not just this evening

:26:14.:26:21.

that there was flying plan. The rest of the weekend is looking lhke an

:26:22.:26:23.

of the weekend is looking like an improving picture on the co`st at

:26:24.:26:25.

improving picture on the coast at Sunderland. There will be some cloud

:26:26.:26:29.

around but temperatures around 20 around but temperatures arotnd 0
