A giant sinkhole which has opened up on farmland in County Durhal | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
is causing increasing concern as it just keeps getting bigger | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Initially it was just a few feet wide, | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
but it's now grown to over 000 feet wide and several hundred fedt deep. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
A few days ago this was just a typical piece of North Pennines | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
hillside but on Thursday morning, landowner | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
John Hensby and his partner realised there was a problel. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Sam had been out shooting r`bbits and she saw from the other side | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
a hole in the earth. It was about five metres across | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
So she came back and told md, and it was about an hour later I wdnt out | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
and the hole was about thred times that diameter then, and noisy. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
The rumbling from 200 feet down and the crashing great lumps | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
of stuff falling in there was quite frightenhng. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
John works on his ten acres to provide habitat for ground`nesting | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
birds, asking walkers to kedp to the path, but he's worried curiosity | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
will get the better of people drawn to see this bottomless pit | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
which reveals something of the area's lead mining p`st. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
We're the ones who will havd to sort out the police, the ambulance, from | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
a practical point of view btt also I don't want to be responsible for | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
There's no chance of getting them out of it again | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
This is as close as it is s`fe to go because not only has this hole | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
opened massively in a short space of time, it is surrounded bx cracks | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
which suggest that any further rain may make it bigger still. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
and the forecast for next wdek isn't helpful. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
John hopes people stay away while he and others work out | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
A memorial event is being planned tonight on North Tyneside | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
for Liam Sweeney, one of the two Newcastle United fans | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
who were killed in the Malaxsia Airlines crash last month. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
It's at the Killingworth Social Club, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
where Liam himself was a melber and his grandfather still is. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Organisers say that as well as being a celebration of Lham's | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
an auction to raise money for the Sweeney family's chosen charity | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
QPR boss Harry Redknapp has offered an open invitation to struggling | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
former football star Paul G`scoigne to help out with coaching | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Gazza, who's now 47, has a long history of alcoholism. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
Several newspapers recently showed him being helped | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
into an ambulance at his Dorset home and taken to hospital. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Around 1000 competitors have been taking part in | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
They were braving the challdnges of the 10km urban adventure course, | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
including kayaking, leaping into a lock and walking the plank. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
For those who enjoy adventure, this is a leap of faith ` | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
Stockton River Rat Race, a 00km course complete with obstacles. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Kayaking, assault courses and tackling the whitewater course of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the Tees Barrage without a canoe all part of today's extreme competition. | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
I think they want to take p`rt because it's different to | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
a normal 10K run, so this is what we're trying to | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
The water and shore`based activities pushing | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
The guy in second today is an exceptionally good runner, goes | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
Managed to get ahead of him after the third mile, | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
a few hundred metres on him and every time I looked over my shoulder | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
he was there, so I wasn't losing him and had to dig in, really. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Walk in the park, it's excellent. Hard work, though. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
It's the second time I've done it. Definitely coming back. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
We did it last year so the challenge was on again, but it was good. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
More obstacles this year. Harder this year, a lot tougher | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Good. Hard, but good. Would you do it again? Oh, xeah | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
And although extreme, it sedms some just can't wait for next ye`r. | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
Today's football now, and Sunderland's first game | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
of the season at the Stadiul of Light saw them hosting | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Manchester United, and it w`s the away team in front throtgh Juan | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
But Sunderland were having ` lot of possession, and just before | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Connor Wickham went close e`rly in the second half, then kedper | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
Vito Manonne saved the day with what they call a committed clear`nce | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Highlights in Match of the Day 2 later, | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
but final score at the Stadhum of Light ` Sunderland 1, Man United 1. | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
We are all wondering what the weather has in store. Let's get the | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
forecast now. It has been a fairly pleasant day and this evening there | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
are still some pockets of clear sky but temperatures will fall puickly. | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
The breeze picks up and clotd rules in overnight so temperatures will | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
not be quite as cold as last night, down to about 9 degrees. Monday | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
starts off on a dry net, not too bad. There could be hazy spdlls of | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
sunshine but through the dax we will see cloud increase from the side and | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
that brings a risk of rain `nd drizzle at acting south`west parts | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
of Cumbria but Northumberland looks like it will stay mostly drhve. The | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
breeze will get quite strong and gusty, especially for Cumbrha | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
tomorrow, so as we go through the rest of the week, Tuesday dozen bad | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
for Cumbria, a fair bit of cloud around elsewhere, mostly drx and | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
bright. That's it for now. Have a good evening. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
After that cold start this morning, it has been quite a nice day for | :06:02. | :06:13. | |
most of us. We have seen cloud amounts increasing but it is this | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
cloud that is coming in from the Atlantic which is going to bring | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
change in weather. Not too much rain from it, further patchy rain across | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Northern Ireland overnight, some rain at times across Wales and the | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
south-west, shovelling further east. Far north of England and | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
particularly Scotland, saying drive. Clearer skies, still quite cold | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
elsewhere, not as cold as it was last night. Cloudy day tomorrow | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
across England and Wales, some rain at times, heavy rain, brighter | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
colours coming into the south-west, through the morning, pushing into | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
the Midlands, towards the south east and parts of Northern Ireland as | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
well. Further north, Scotland may well stay dry, the North West of | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Scotland is the place to be, quite a bit of sunshine. Cool breeze off the | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
North Sea, picking up for eastern Scotland, may be gusty | :07:01. | :07:01. |
