Hello, good evening. on the BBC News Channel, | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
Police are trying to identify a man who was seen kicking a young boy | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
in the head and chest on a train - and then getting off | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
British Transport Police said the child aged around two or three | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
was attacked on the 4pm service, from Edinburgh | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
The suspect is described as white, of large build, with short dark hair | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
He got off the train at Alnmouth with three children. | :00:40. | :00:52. | |
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria is to release | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
a report on rape trials which aims to improve understanding between | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
The initiative was begun by Vera Baird two years ago. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
30 adult rape trials at Newcastle Crown Court have been | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
observed by volunteer panellists trained to look at how | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
complainants and witnesses are supported during the trials. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
The resulting report's findings and recommendations | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
Cumbria Police is set to overspend this year by an increasing amount | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
according to the latest report on the constabulary's finances. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
The force was expected to exceed its budget for the 2016-17 | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
financial year by more than ?1 million in December, | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
an increase of 200,000 compared to the previous | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
"Being you is not a crime" - the message from Northumbria police, | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
who supported a sporting festival this weekend for straight, | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
The tournament in North Shields is one of the biggest | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
in the gay rugby calender, which has grown in | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
It is a tough sport that often comes with preconceptions. | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
In North Tyneside this weekend rugby was | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
This ground in North Shields has been staging the Hadrian's cup, | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
a tournament between six gay friendly | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Rugby is very much a sport for everybody. | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
We welcome people who are gay, straight or anybody else, wherever | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
you have played for the last five, ten years or if you | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
have never picked up a rugby ball in your life. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
The weekend tournament is being staged by | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Newcastle Ravens, a team made up of both gay and straight players. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
The club was launched here 11 years ago, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
I was always on the back burner from sport and a little | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
Fantastic opportunity and a great team to for. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
The weekend event was also supported by Northumbria police as part of | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
There are perceptions in some areas of society that certain sports | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
But thankfully those perceptions are diminishing year-on-year. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
And an event like today where there are teams from | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
right across the UK and Ireland coming here, it really demonstrates | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
It is hoped the tournament will encourage more gay people to | :02:58. | :03:16. | |
try rugby, a sport where everyone is welcome. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Family and friends - and a sell-out crowd - | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
will pack the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle tonight for a special | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
tribute to the Geordie entertainer Brendan Healy. | :03:24. | :03:24. | |
Brendan passed away a year ago, but his sister Kathie, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
and his four children, will be among the cast of star | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
performers this evening, as Jim Knight reports. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
I left my job, you know, at the helium balloon factory. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Everyone knew that the Tyne Theatre was Brendan's spiritual home. | :03:35. | :03:49. | |
It was perhaps only fitting that this special variety night in | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
his honour should happen on the very stage he graced so many times. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
And that this show should be performed | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Everybody involved is his friend, the crew, his dancers and the three | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
boys are all in the entertainment industry, his youngest | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
is a stand-up comic, his second son is a singer and | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
his eldest son is a guitarist in a rock band. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
I don't know what people are expecting. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
He isn't here to guide it, which is what we are all saying. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
It is a mixture and it will have a feeling of a Brendan show. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
It won't be a Brendan show, but it will have the feel of that. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
In a weird way you will let him make a couple of appearances, | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
I can't really tell you how it is going | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
to happen but he will definitely be present. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Just one major sports event in the region this afternoon - | :04:40. | :04:54. | |
and a crowd of over 7,500 enjoyed Newcastle Falcons staging a great | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
comeback at Kingston Park - to run out winners over | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
So we've had a mild, if breezy weekend. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Abbie Dewhurst can tell us about the coming week. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
If we take a look at the air mass chart you | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
can see where the orange is turning much more orange. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Strong wind will make it feel very mild indeed. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
That is only really higher ground and in any sunshine. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
It is going to be quite a cloudy day and night | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
with rain sinking slowly to the south-east. | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
Nothing too heavy and persistent, but a very cloudy night. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Mist and hill fog forming as well, with temperatures only down | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Cloudy and misty and a murky start to the day but a strong | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
westerly wind will develop and if we do manage to see any | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
breaks, any sunshine, temperatures might feel | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
We do like orange. That is all so far. I am back at around 20 past | :05:43. | :05:57. | |
ten. on and on. It is because of the | :05:58. | :06:20. | |
direction of the wind. Tomorrow's temperatures might be higher than | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
today by a couple of degrees. There has been a lot of cloud. But we had | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
some lovely pictures coming in. Some sunshine, but predominantly the | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
clouds have been -- the skies have been cloudy. This will continue as | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
well as a smattering of rain. For all those reasons it isn't going to | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
be a cold | :06:46. | :06:46. |
