:00:29. > :00:32.the risks of an area of marshland on the south bank, after it was called
:00:33. > :00:35.out to help around 40 people who were partying on the site last
:00:36. > :00:38.night. The Humberston Fitties near Cleethorpes is an area of mud, sand

:00:48. > :00:50.say they're concerned there will be a rise in the number of dogs being
:00:51. > :00:53.abandoned because their owners are being threatened. The group,
:00:54. > :00:57.'Huskies in Hull', says there's been a growing number of cases of abuse
:00:58. > :01:00.from local residents when they walk their pets. They say recent
:01:01. > :01:10.publicity over dangerous dogs has given many an irrational fear of the
:01:11. > :01:15.breed. Since the recent news coverage, it
:01:16. > :01:20.has been very negative towards Sled dog breeds. We have had people 's

:01:48. > :01:57.earlier this week, Newcastle's manager had nothing but praise for
:01:58. > :02:03.his rival. I have to say, Steve Bruce is, up to this point, probably
:02:04. > :02:07.manager of the year. He has another ten games, but what he did last year
:02:08. > :02:12.to get them promoted and to get them in the position they have been in is
:02:13. > :02:15.a fantastic region `` achievement. He should be very proud.
