91 people died in World War I from Yarm, from a population of 300 men. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
We decided 18 months ago th`t we needed to do something to | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
recognise that and to commelorate those who gave their lives. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
North Shields, another parade and other community remembering those | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
People helping with the local commemoration project | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
really tried to paint a picture of life on the front. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
We are taking them back into 1914 when the British @rmy | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
would have been eating corndd beef and hardtack biscuits. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
They were just men doing a job because they thought it was right. | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
Patriotism, a sense of duty, men who allowed us to live as we live now. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Back in Yarm, the commemorations continue tomorrow, but | :01:45. | :01:46. | |

off the road and hit a tree in Northumberland early this morning. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
It happened on the A696 just north of Pontdland. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Figures due out this week are expected to show | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
the region's red squirrel population could be expanding, following almost | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Normally confined to Northulberland and Cumbria, reds have been sighted | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
this summer as far south as Wensleydale in North Yorkshire. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Derwent Reservior on the Durham Northumberland border. | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
This is red squirrel territory, but until recently it's been part | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
But this year, with sightings reported as far south | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
as Teesdale and Wensleydale, conservationists believe | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
After over a century of decline the science we're doing at the loment | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
does suggest that red squirrels are no longer losing ground. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Again, we're working towards publishing that science in detail | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
at the moment, but this is such an exciting time for red sqtirrels | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
So anyone seeing reds, particularly for the first time | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
No one can be sure what's c`used this recent change in fortunes, but | :03:16. | :03:21. | |

local volunteers has been vhtal in keeping the grey squirrel population | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
down, giving the reds a chance to recover. | :03:35. | :03:35. | |

to the group and to Red Squhrrels Northern England, has risen | :03:42. | :03:44. | |

"England lead this, and here comes Bolt. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
