Good afternoon. the late news at 10.15pm. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
They've lived a life that's hard for many of us to comprehend. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
But today, preparations were being made for families fleeing | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
the war in Syria to start a new life here. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Now local people are being asked to play their part in making | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
the refugees welcome ahead of their arrival in Cumbria. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
The war in Syria has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
Many have fled abroad, seeking sanctuary and security. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Here, the British government has agreed to take around 20,000 | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
refugees, and up to 300 could in time come to Cumbria. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Today, around 150 people keen to help turned up | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
We want to give people ideas about how they can help. | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Whether that's coming along to the drop-in sessions | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
that we'll be running weekly, offering language support, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
We'll be working with the local authorities | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
on these schemes, but we'd like to help sign up volunteers. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Speakers included those who'd fled Syria | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
in the past, and who continue to send help. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
This is a very human moment when you see this number of people | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
who are welcoming new families to be accepted by the British | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
government to be resettled in Cumbria. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
And it's sometimes the simplest acts that make | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
When you're forced to leave and come, and you are | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
depressed by what we have seen, little words make a big difference. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
A nice good morning to them in the morning would make a big | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
difference to their feelings, to how they can start the day. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
The first Syrian families to arrive in Cumbria | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Newcastle city council has been given more than ?200,000 of Lottery | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
cash, as it looks into handing over its parks and allotments | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Although the council says it would still own the city's 33 parks | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
and other green spaces, it wants to transfer | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
the day to day responsibility to a new charitable trust. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
The scheme being considered would help tackle the financial challenges | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
In the last few minutes, the centrepiece of the new Wear | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
crossing in Sunderland has been lifted into place. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The A-frame is the largest structure to be raised in this way in Britain | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
It weighs more than 1,500 tonnes and is a hundred meters tall. | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
Obviously there are always things that are unforeseen. | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
But up to this stage, I can say, so far, so good. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
This is the culmination of months of work, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
but as the A-frame approached vertical, it was steady away to make | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
That's a bit of a juggling act because we need to keep | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
And at the same time let the cable out on the | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
But we also need to do that in a controlled way, so the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
pylon doesn't take a leap forward any further than we need it to. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
But this is about a lot more than just a bridge. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
A huge regeneration project has been promised off the back | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
And when the engineering works are complete, this is going to have | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
to deliver a lot more than just a means to get from one side | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Middlesbrough's Mima art gallery celebrated its 10th | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
birthday, with the launch of a new collection today. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
It shows art and craft from the mid-1800s to the present | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
day, with works on display chosen by the people of the town. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Football, and Newcastle will try to secure their place | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
at the top of the Championship when they take on Wolves | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Most of our other teams are in action right now. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
There's full coverage on your BBC local radio station. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Good evening. We are expecting some wintry showers overnight feeding in | :04:10. | :04:22. | |
from the east, falling as snow on higher levels. Elsewhere, showers | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
falling into rain on lower levels. No risk of frost or ice. The warning | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
for snow is still in place until 3pm tomorrow. Further wintry showers | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
expected through the morning. A cloudy day. Bitterly cold. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Tomorrow, Sunday Politics is in Whitehaven | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
with all the candidates fighting the Copeland by-election. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
That's tomorrow morning from 11 on BBC One. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
We're back tomorrow at ten to six. Until then, have a good evening. | :04:53. | :05:10. | |
Good afternoon. An afternoon to snuggle up in front of the telly and | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
watch some rugby. It's been a cold winter's day. Not just for humans. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
This shot was taken earlier. There was some sunshine in Scotland, here | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
a beautiful afternoon. That was the expectation for most. It's bleak out | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
there. A mixture of rain and snow on the radar. You have to go a long way | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
up the hills to find settling snow. Into the evening and temperatures | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
begin to fall again, we could see some of the white stuff turning up | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
again at lower levels across eastern Counties of England and quite a lot | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of snow piling up over the Pennines in particular on a brisk wind, it is | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
going to feel cold wherever you are with temperatures hovering close to | :05:54. | :05:54. |
