with the debt of almost ?4 million owed to it by the troubled | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Councillors have decided they'll convert the ?3.7 million | :01:19. | :01:30. | |

This comes on the day teachhng assistants voted for strike action - | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
as Durham council plans to cut their pay. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Our correspondent Mark Denten joins us now from outside County Hall | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Durham County Cricket club has been teetering on the financial brink for | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
some time. Well, today, councillors meeting here decided to give the | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
meeting here decided to givd the club a substantial helping hand. | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
meeting here decided to give the club a substantial helping hand The | :02:03. | :02:02. | |
club a substantial helping hand. The 2700 teaching assistant in this | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
county may also be cricket fans, but county may also be cricket fans, but | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
they say rather than a helphng hand, they have been shown something more | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
like a clenched fist. We will have more unnaturally, but first Ian | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Reeve reports on the financial help the council is giving to Durham | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
Cricket club. After more than 20 years | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
as a first-class county, Durham is a Durham County Council | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
is owed 3.7 million with no prospect of repayment, and so today, | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
the council voted to turn and it I ask that everybody | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
is in agreement with So the council has allowed | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
the cricket club to live and hopes to be repaid at some | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
stage in the future. Restricting service | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to the old and the young. And I don't think Joe | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
public out there is The council claims the cricket club | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
brings millions into the economy, It brings an important | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
profile, not just for the county of Durham but for | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
the whole of the North East. And this is just one | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
business that cashes in on It's the local economy, | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
Chesley Street and So when the guests come | :03:17. | :03:28. | |
from national and international and local, they don't just spend | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
money here in the hotel. They spend it around the local area, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
which is fantastic. But is there much appetite | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
amongst local council I would probably go against it, but | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
that's my belief in all companies If they go bust, to me | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
they half deserved it. If they have the problem, | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
why give us the Because if the council is bailing | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
them out, it's going to impact on the residents of | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
the county. The County Durham and the cricket | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
club, help them out The council deal | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
suggested by cricket's governing body, the ECB, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
based here at Lord's It relegated Durham | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
for their financial dealings. It's been getting it | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
in the neck for doing so. But it too has been lenient over | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
money that Durham owes it. So the ECB has written off | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
?2 million worth of debt. It has paid off a loan comp`ny | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
that was owed about ?800,000 by Durham, and it | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
won't vigorously pursue another ?1.8 And thanks to that, and the council, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Durham will live to play on. And, Mark, Durham Council is also | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
at the centre of news today It is. While the council by back | :04:45. | :05:05. | |
cabinet was meeting here to decide what to do about Durham County | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
Cricket club, at the very s`me time Cricket club, at the very same time | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
the votes were being counted in a Unison industrial action ballot of | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
teaching assistant in this county. Around 2pm this afternoon, the | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
result came through. A huge majority for strike action. | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
You could view the anger when they gathered for a rally in Durham | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
recently. But words are about gathered for a rally in Durham | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
recently. But words are abott to turn into action, action which could | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
turn into action, action whhch could have an impact on schools, teachers | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
and parents across the county. Unison members have voted for 92% to | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Unison members have voted for 9 % to strike. This show is absolutely the | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
strength of feeling amongst our Unison teaching assistant about the | :05:47. | :05:47. | |
weight they are being treated by weight they are being treated by | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Durham County Council. We know that there was a strong solidarity | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
amongst our membership and we hope that the council now sit up and | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
listen and come back to the negotiating table. The strike is | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
over plans by Durham council to reduce the teaching assistant's paid | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
just to turn time. Members have backed a concession deal, but | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
workers who plan to strike say they have been left with little choice. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
We have taken this action whth a We have taken this action with a | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
heavy heart. We absolutely understand the impact of thd | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
understand the impact of the disruption this will have four | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
schools, for families, for children, but we also know that we have no | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
choice, the long-term impact on the long-term disruption to those | :06:30. | :06:30. | |
families and schools and children families and schools and chhldren | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
will be far, far greater if those professional dedicated experienced | :06:36. | :06:35. | |
staff are forced out of thehr jobs staff are forced out of their jobs | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
because they can't afford to live. The council says it is disappointed | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
about the planned strike action. There was a significant risk of an | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
equal pay claim. We had to do what we have done thus far and of course | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
two of the unions have accepted the compensatory offer. The council has | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
made. But clearly or priority now is to work with school leaders, | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
governors and headteachers to minimise the impact on our children. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Their education is our prime concern Their education is our prime concern | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
at this time. Unison say whhle there at this time. Unison say whhle there | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
are no dates yet for strikes, they will definitely take place before | :07:12. | :07:12. | |
Christmas. 150 miles to the south in the city | :07:13. | :07:28. | |
of Derby, teaching assistants are on strike for the same issue. To | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
schools will be closed tomorrow. More will be an half-day working and | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
others will have classes cancelled. Will that happen here? We should | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
know the answer to that question before Christmas. Back to you, | :07:41. | :07:41. | |
Carol. Thank you, Mark. A sixth man is being questioned over | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
the death of a woman in a street 27-year-old Jodie Wilkinson | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
was stabbed on Monday Today a 43-year-old man | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
was arrested, while five others previously detained | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
remain in custody. Officers are continuing | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
to search for a weapon A 20-year-old man's died in a road | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
crash on the A69 in Northumberland. It happened shortly | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
after one o'clock this morning near the Bridge End | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
roundabout at Hexham. A 27-year-old man and a wom`n aged | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
21 have been arrested on suspicion of causing death | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
by dangerous driving. Unemployment's fallen | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
across the region, according to the latest | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
figures published today. 88,000 people were without ` job | :08:27. | :08:27. | |
in the North East in the three months to August , | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
that's down 9,000 on There were falls too in Cumbria | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
where 4,445 people are claiming Job Seekers' Allowance, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
and in North Yorkshire An investigation's underway | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
at a district hospital after a dying woman was moved twice in thd last | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
half hour of her life. Her family say she was 'shunted | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
around like rolling stock' Harrogate hospital has apologised | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
for what happened to Irene Simister It is just five days since the death | :09:01. | :09:05. | |

blog and it is compounded bx affairs. His grief is still very | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
blog and it is compounded bx the manner of his mother's death at | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Harrogate hospital. In her dying moments, a clinical bed man`ger | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
insisted Irene was moved to make way for another patient. It was very | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
upsetting because we have prepared ourselves for our mother to pass | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
away in the room she had bedn in ourselves for our mother to pass | :09:42. | :09:42. | |
away in the room she had been in for away in the room she had been in for | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
almost a week. She was comfortable there. She was settled there. She | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
had cards from well-wishers there. She had flowers and she had a | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
photograph of her and my father on their wedding date on the table in | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
front of her. In the melee that was moving her, that got knocked over, | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
some of her son was left in the corridor and we were left with her | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
mother dead in another room that was totally alien to us. What was | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
mother dead in another room that was totally alien to us. What w`s the | :10:08. | :10:07. | |
totally alien to us. What was the reaction of the nurses when they | :10:08. | :10:08. | |
were told they had to move your were told they had to move xour | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
mother? It was very clear that they were doing it under sufferance and | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
when my mother did die, the nurses were crying. These are nurses who | :10:17. | :10:17. | |
were crying. These are nursds who see dead on a daily basis and they | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
are used to it. And they were not used to this particular death. Irene | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Simister's family had been impressed by the Coward the hospital gave | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
their mother until the last half-hour. But those highly | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
emotional and precious final minute after them forever tainted by what | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
happened. The hospital has apologised for moving her. In a | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
apologised for moving her. Hn a statement, it said: | :10:39. | :10:57. | |
I want to ensure that what happened to my mother and what myself and my | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
family are experiencing does not happen to anybody else. It hs cold | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
dying with dignity. It is cold dying well." Lifecare, which we dhd not | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
well." Lifecare, which we did not experience in the last moments of my | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
mother's life. For David, that means seeing protocols are establhshed to | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
seeing protocols are established to ensure patients are not movdd | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
seeing protocols are establhshed to ensure patients are not moved in | :11:25. | :11:26. | |

The man behind an ?18 million pound project to build a power st`tion | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
near a Stockton village says it will have no impact whatsoever | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Statera Energy Limited want to build a battery storage power station - | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
like this one at High Middlefield Farm. | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
The scheme had been recommended for approval - | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
but this afternoon Stockon councillors deferred | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
a decision following concerns about the number of vehicles | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
going through the village during construction. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
It's nearly a mile away from the village. | :11:56. | :11:56. | |
There is no noise, there is no traffic. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
So this is simply about construction traffic, which by | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
the way is a nonmaterial pl`nning consideration, so I'm not entirely | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
sure they have deferred it on that basis, but there we are. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
The Prime Minister has refused to intervene in plans | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
which could see services drastically downgraded at the West | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
Proposals to remove consultant-led maternity services from Whitehaven | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
are included as part of a m`jor overhaul of Cumbria's | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
A multi million pound consultation programme is ongoing | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
but local people say their views are being ignordd. | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
The future of health care in West Cumbria has long been the stbject of | :12:38. | :12:48. | |
Cumbria has long been the subject of fierce debate. Today, the fhght went | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
fierce debate. Today, the fight went to Westminster. We'll be Prhme | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
to Westminster. We'll be Prime Minister please commit todax to | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
visiting my constituency to see what the effect of this decision will be | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
upon West Cumbrian families, women and children? The point of the way | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
in which we are approaching this is that decisions are taken and | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
generated from the local level. It is that the local area that they | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
will be looking at the services that will be looking at the services that | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
are necessary for people to ensure that they are able to provide the | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
services that are needed. The Prime Minister's responds perhaps no | :13:18. | :13:18. | |
surprise, but nevertheless let with surprise, but nevertheless met with | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
direct anger in Whitehaven. I would say to her I am bewildered at your | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
lack of care. And compassion. About what is happening in our | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
communities. There is major concern here about proposals to transfer | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
West Cumbrian mums in Labour 40 plus miles to Carlisle. Extremely | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
concerned. This has to be everybody's number one priority | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
right now in fighting these changes because it is going to cost lives. I | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
have worked in West Cumberl`nd since have worked in West Cumberl`nd since | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
1978. The parents that we have got 1978. The parents that we h`ve got | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
coming through, they can't believe that we would lose the services. | :13:58. | :13:58. | |
coming through, they can't believe that we would lose the servhces We | :13:59. | :13:58. | |
that we would lose the services. We are a lifeline to people, wd really | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
are a lifeline to people, we really are. In a letter to local MP Jamie | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Reed, the Prime Minister once again reiterates her support for the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
locally run regime's preferred options, options which would see | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
downgrading, but still we are pulled no decision has been made. Ht | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
certainly is not a done deal and we have got another two and a half | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
months or so of confrontation to go. After which, there will be ` long | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
After which, there will be a long period of reflection. Vinyl | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
decisions will be announced next spring. Until then, the campaign | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
continues, the strength of public feeling showing no sign of dying | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
down. Strong images, are thdy? Plenty more to come | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
in tonight's programme. Plus - we speak to comedian | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
David Baddiel about the latest And weather-wise, what is in store? | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Join me for your full midwedk Join me for your full midweek | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
forecast. Proposed changes to military housing | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
have prompted a warning Berwick MP Anne Marie Trevelyan says | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
they could put off new recrtits The Government says it wants to give | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
service personnel a greater choice But the MP told a Westminster debate | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
this afternoon that planned reforms will drive families away | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
from military bases into privately-rented homes, | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
increasing isolation Our political correspondent | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
Luke Walton reports. They defend a nation | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
and want somewhere to call home in return, | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
but proposed changes to armed forces It's feared they mean fewer military | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
families able to live in subsidised housing in and around | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
bases like Catterick. A former Royal engineer, | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
now manager of a charity for veterans, is one of | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
those who is worried. Kosovo, he was grateful his wife | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
and children could stay in larried It's really, really | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
important to be part of the military community, to be able to go | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
on operations and know that your family are around people who can | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
give them peer support. Close to barracks, able | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
to find out what is The Ministry of Defence | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
says it wants to widen choice and end discrimination | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
against groups like unmarridd It is looking at providing | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
cash for personnel to But the Berwick MP fears that | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
will mean some facing long commutes to work and isolation, | :16:23. | :16:35. | |
with And we risk with this model, whilst | :16:36. | :16:36. | |
it's flexible in theory, actually driving families into much more | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
isolated living conditions `nd many, many families have been | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
saying to me this could be would leave and we are | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
on demand as we are. We cannot afford to lose our highly | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
trained, incredibly passionate and dedicated | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
Armed Forces. What's going to happen is that | :16:57. | :16:57. | |
families will be given a rental allowance and they will be `ble | :16:58. | :17:00. | |

for many youngsters regarded as a bit of a boring way | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
to fill a rainy afternoon. In South Shields, however, | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
that's all about to change. A new super library called the Word, | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
which is a National Centre for the Written Word, | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
opens on Saturday. It means children will now be | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
getting a 21st Century experience Today's ceremony gave everyone | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
who has the supported The National Centre | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
for the Written Word a chance to have a look around | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
before its doors open With authors like Anne Clevds | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
and David Baddiel here too - this new library in South Shields | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
has the backing of the It is a beautiful building and also | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
it really exhibits and promote storytelling in all its different | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
forms, so it is really like a library 3.0. It is an upgraded | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
library that has stuff about film and interactive and 3-D printing and | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
immersive areas for children. It is about the best place I have ever | :19:00. | :19:00. | |
seen for promoting storytelling In a time of austerity | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
when most authority's to spend sixteen million pounds | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
building a new one shows re`l vision One of the growth sectors in our | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
region is the Digital econoly and I region is the Digital econoly and I | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
want to make sure that children really are able to have a h`nds on | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
experience of that whole sector, so experience of that whole sector, so | :19:23. | :19:26. | |

in that sector in the future. skills and perhaps gain employment | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
in that sector in the futurd. It has in that sector in the future. It has | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
got really nice books and it is just really exciting because we have been | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
waiting for it for a long thme. There is loads of local that we can | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
use to build and then it has wires that can connect to the robots using | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
Wi-Fi and it is really good for a new library. You have different | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
technology like tablets and it is really cool for us to get to play | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
with them. Cool. Probably a very good 21st-century word to describe | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
good 21st-century word to ddscribe the Word. I want to go there. Looks | :20:09. | :20:16. | |

Time for sport and Newcastle fans are enjoying life | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
in the Championship, Dawn?! | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
Yes, and why wouldn't they be - the table makes very happy | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
After a less than convincing start to the Championship | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
are now top of the league after beating Barnsley last night. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
And striker Dwight Gayle will be a happy man as well - | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
the division's top scorer ndtted two second half goals to take his tally | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Oakwell hasn't been a particularly happy hunting ground for Newcastle | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
in the past and Barnsley kept the Magpies at bay in | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
a scrappy first half - although this acrobatic effort | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
from Gayle was a sign of things to come. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Just four minutes after the break, Barnsley failed to clear a corner | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
and when the ball fell to the United striker he simply couldn't liss | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
Gayle doubled Newcastle's ldad when he got to Matt Ritchie's long | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
ball before Barnsley keeper Adam Davies allowing him to send | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
Almost 6,000 travelling Newcastle fans were hoping to see a h`ttrick | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
but Gayle was denied his third of the night by a pretty sm`rt save, | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
but he's still the Championship s top scorer, and a slip up by Norwich | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
who allowed their two goal advantage to be clawed back by Fulham | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
at Craven Cottage means Rafa Benitez and his men are top of the league | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
Good luck to Gateshead tonight they'll host Newport County | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
If they can beat Alfreton in their final qualifying | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
round replay at the International Stadium. | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Rugby League's showpiece event Magic Weekend | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
is returning to St James' Park for a third year running. | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Newcastle first hosted the event in 2015 | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
and it was so successful it returned this year when almost 70,000 fans | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
attended the two-day event - more than ever before | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
in Magic Weekend's history - all the more remarkable | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
as the region isn't a hotbed of rugby league. | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
Next year's event, in which all 12 Superleague teams play | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
across a weekend, will take place on May 20th and 21st. | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
Well, the region's also plaxing host to the inaugural Ultimate Strongman | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
And three of the planet's btrliest blokes popped along to the home of | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
Newcastle Falcons Rugby Union Club to launch the event. | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
As it turned out, members of the Premiership side's | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
first team squad are some of their biggest fans, | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
They're more used to disciplines such as the legendary | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
Atlas Stones, Monster Tyre Flip and Deadlift Challenge, | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
but it was good old fashiondd Tug of War today at Kingston Park | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
for the UK and European Chalpions and four time World's Strongest Man | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
as they swapped training tips with Falcons first teamers. | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
The trio will be among 12 of the biggest stars in Strongman | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
at Newcastle's Arena in December reviving memories of much | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
loved TV sports from the seventies and eighties. | :23:04. | :23:21. | |
Up it goes. 160 kilograms. What a record! You ask anyone, and they | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
will say he is a legend. He is the man who put the sport on thd | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
will say he is a legend. He is the man who put the sport on the map in | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
England. It has been nearly 25 years since the title has been in the UK | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
and it needs another big show, and other world championship like we are | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
doing to bring the sport back to life in England. Social media has | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
helped a huge amount. It has really increased in popularity in the last | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
few years. When I started, ht increased in popularity in the last | :23:51. | :23:51. | |
few years. When I started, it was a few years. When I started, it was a | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
dirty and dark area of the gym. Now you have nice equipment and you can | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
do it at all certain levels and it has become a lot more accessible for | :23:59. | :23:59. | |
people. Of course mobilty, | :24:00. | :24:00. | |
strength and endurance aren't bad qualities | :24:01. | :24:01. | |
for professional rugby playdrs too. Especially if you are in thd forward | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
pack, everyone is into their strength training. To come down and | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
meet the guys who actually do it for a sport telling us the weight that | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
they lived and stuff like that is extraordinary. My brother used to | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
play for the Falcons a couple of years back in Bristol so it is great | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
to be on the showground tod`y years back in Bristol so it is great | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
to be on the showground today and seeing the grounds where he has | :24:25. | :24:25. | |
played many a battle. Espechally in played many a battle. Espechally in | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
the UK, we have very strong athletes and for sure it is helping to grow | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
the sport. That arena tour hit Tyneside on December the tenth. Do | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
you know, I hate to say it, but they actually make the Falklands look a | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
bit weedy, don't they? They do. And that is not something you say often. | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
Paul is really pumped up for the weather. | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
