Now on BBC one it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Commuters are being urged to plan tomorrow, as a rail strike threatens | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
to cause delays on roads and public transport. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
The RMT union is in dispute with Northern Rail over | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
plans to introduce more driver-only-operated trains. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
It was business as usual today on the region's rail network | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
but tomorrow thousands of passengers are facing delays and disruption. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
The strike's over plans by Northern to bring in driver-only | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
operated trains with no guards to open or close doors. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Rail bosses say training will be given but unions believe | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
We believe that having a second person on all trains provides | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
assurances to the travelling public and it's an additional safety | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
measure in the event that the driver becomes incapacitated. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
We put safety at the heart of everything we do. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
The independent rail regulator has indicated that this is as safe | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
This isn't about who opens or closes doors. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
This is about giving our customers what they want, which is access | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
to our people at times that matter to them. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
The 24-hour rail strike starts at midnight with unions predicting | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
To ease problems, around 300 replacement buses | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Today at Thornaby station, passengers | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Buses take longer than trains to get from one station | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
to another, so there will be a lot of disruption. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
I think it's good to have a conductor on the trains | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
coming up and down, especially when you've got a young daughter. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Northern say a revised timetable will operate tomorrow | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
but they have advised passengers to plan their journeys carefully. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
To lessen disruption they say those with a valid ticket | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
There are regular travel updates on your BBC local radio station | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
in the morning, and we'll have the latest | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
here in our breakfast bulletins from 7:25am. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Police say a woman's been sexually assaulted in Washington | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
It happened around 2am this morning when she was approached by a man | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
in the Avebury Drive/Glebe Crescent area of Washington Village. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Police are looking for a man in a hoodie after 60 cars | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
The police say the vehicles, which were parked in | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
the Springwell and Grindon areas, were all scratched with a key | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Extra patrols are being carried out in the area. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
?2 billion extra for social care in the Budget isn't enough to | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
deal with the problem of looking after the elderly in our region, | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Ministers say they're providing resources to help ease | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
pressure on the NHS - they've also allowed | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
councils to raise more money from council tax. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
But one Tyneside MP told BBC's Sunday Politics | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
The scale of the problem is much larger than the general | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
I'm not sure what the distribution arrangements will be for that money | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
but the need for social care and the local government tax base | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
which will have to bear the brunt of this are not evenly spread | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
and so for authorities like urban ones in the north-east of England, | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
they will end up with more to do and not the money to do it. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
There clearly is an issue with social care in this country. | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
Over a million people rely on it and I think the move the government | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
have made to put in ?2 billion is a start. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
A radar gun's been bought for volunteers to use, | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
to catch speeding drivers in Brampton in Cumbria. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
It's been paid for by the county's Police and Crime Commissioner. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
The Brampton Speedwatch group says it's now better able to tackle | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Right, how will the new week begin for us? | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Jen Bartram has the region's weather forecast. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
A much colder night in store than we've had in recent nights, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
clear skies across the board mean the temperature will fall quite | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
sharply, so in town and cities down to 4 or 5 degrees but in sheltered | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
rural spots we could see a touch of frost come Monday morning, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
so it will be quite a chilly start first thing tomorrow, some good | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
brightness for the north-east, a little rain across Cumbria | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
for a time but by the afternoon brighter spells across the board. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
We will see the sunshine coming through and in the sunshine | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
temperatures will get up to around 14 degrees, feeling quite pleasant | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Through the rest of the week it stays fairly mild, | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
a fairly cloudy day on Tuesday but some brighter spells | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
Colin Briggs is back with breakfast updates from first | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
But from all of us here, have a good night. | :04:50. | :05:06. | |
Good evening. For many places it was a fairly cloudy day on suspend but | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
there was sunshine for western areas during the afternoon, and here are | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
the clear skies at sunset in Northern Ireland. Thanks to weather | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
watcher Robin for this picture, those clear skies have been making | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
their way further east ward. Temperatures are dropping away, we | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
have seen temperatures of freezing in parts of Northern Ireland. More | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
cloud rolling in during the latter part of the night but towns and | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
cities down the five and six m the countryside many of us will see the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
temperatures a degree or so above freezing, so a slight touch of | :05:42. | :05:43. |
