tonight's headlines: "Please stay away," the plea from | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
the villagers of Rothbury as the anniversary of the Raoul Moat | :00:04. | :00:14. | |
:00:14. | :00:15. | ||
shootings approaches. It was a sequence of tragic events. Let's | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
remember the victims. The policeman shot and blinded by the gunman says | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
he will be remembering the man who did not survive. Some days my wife | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
reminds me I have survived. My turning-point was when I was able | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
to come back from the car, realising that I had died in the | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
car. Also tonight: | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Burning a hole - this fire control centre has never been used and it | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
is still costing the taxpayer millions of pounds. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
And another joint operation for a husband and wife team with a | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
special bond. In sport, the French Revolution | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
continues at St James's Park. And golf's world number two joins | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:09. | ||
forces with a new course in It is a year since a former | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
nightclub bouncer from Newcastle decided on a terrible course of | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
revenge. And within a week the name of Raoul Moat would be known around | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
the world. It was a week in which he shot his former girlfriend, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
killed her new partner and blinded a police officer. The country's | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
biggest manhunt began, ending with Moat's death in a picturesque | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
Northumberland village. Rothbury became the focus of the world's | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
media. Since then, it has worked hard to regain normality. But | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
throughout the past year, it has seen a host of day-trippers who | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
want to visit the riverside site when Moat met his end. Villagers | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
say they cannot stop it happening but they are pleading with anyone | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
:01:56. | :01:57. | ||
who wants to mark the anniversary to stay away. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
This is a village that prides itself on remembering, remembering | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
the good, the great and the glorious. But what it does not want | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
to remember is the grim. But are there are those who do. The site | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
where Raoul Moat died was visited by a number of people on what would | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
have been his birthday. The flowers they left were quickly removed. And | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
villagers are now expecting more of the same. It is something they are | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
treading. The villagers are sick of it. They really are. They cannot | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
see there is any need for it whatsoever. The world knows we had | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
an incident here last year that we as a community want to forget. We | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
want to put it behind us. We cannot change what happened. We can go on. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
In the next few days, you will have people turning up there. Indeed. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
They came last weekend, I think it was last Thursday or Friday evening, | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
to lay a floral tribute. But I would ask people, if they want to | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
do that, do it elsewhere. Why does anybody want to remember a | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
murderer? I think that is wrong. If anybody has to be remembered that | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
it was a sequence of tragic events. Let's remember the victims. Does | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
anyone ever say anything to the people when they bring flowers? | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
think a lot of the Times, people feel intimidated because usually it | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
can be a large group, as happened last year, in the aftermath. If you | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
are just on your own or a couple working -- and walking past, you do | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
not want to say anything because you do not know what is going to | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
happen. You feel threatened? would not say it threatened but it | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
is at the back of your mind. Peter and the rest of the people here had | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
hoped the Riverside could have been cordoned off on the anniversary of | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Moat's death but the police and county councils say that will not | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
happen. While the events of July last year have filled acres and | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
acres of newsprint, there is still one question which remains | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
unanswered. Were the Taser guns the police officers fired responsible | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
for the death of Raoul Moat? We should have the answer soon, when | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
an inquest is held into Moat's death. At the time, the Tasers were | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
still being evaluated by Government scientists and had not been given a | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
Home Office approval. It is the only part of the story | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
still to be told, exactly what happened when hours of negotiations | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
went nowhere. Can everyone move back? Moat had shot himself dead | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
but was it his decision to pull the trigger or did his finger tighten | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
on the trigger as a result of a powerful electric Tasers shock? | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
This was a police demonstration of a Taser. It looks like a toy pistol | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
but the 50,000 volts it delivers disables a target with what is | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
known as muscular incapacitation. Tasers are used by every police | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
force in the country but there are big differences in how often each | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
force either fires them or threatens to fire them in ought to | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
subdue some body. The latest Home Office figures show that in the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
cause of one year, North Yorkshire deployed Tasers 12 times. In | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
Cleveland, the figure was 32. In Cumbria it was 41 times. In Durham | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
it was 78. But then we have Northumbria, where the figure was | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
348. The highest in the country. Higher, even, than the Met in | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
London. But the Taser used on Moat was not like this one. This is the | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
website of the company in Arizona that manufactures the sort of | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
weapon used to that night. This is the Taser cartridge itself. It can | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
be fired up to 100ft. Soap Moat was well within range of the armed | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
officers facing him. The charge is deployed for 22nd, long enough for | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
officers to have got to note and disarmed him. This weapons system | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
had never been used in this country before and it was not actually | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
approved for use in this country. Peter boatman was a director of the | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
British company which supplied the Tasers in question. Three months | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
later he was found dead. His licence to supply Tasers had been | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
revoked by the Home Office and an inquest into his death was told he | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
had been ashamed at what had happened. Although -- although the | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
tapes that have been supplies too big Northumbria force, the two | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
officers that fired at Moat had been drafted in from the West | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Yorkshire force. The inquest will concentrate on what happened here | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
from the moments Moat found himself confronted by police officers. The | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
coroner will want to hear about what draining those two officers | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
had been given in the use of the Taser guns. The evidence could | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
determine what part Tasers play in the future for police forces | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
throughout the UK. The inquest will begin in September and take four | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
weeks. It will finally provide the answers Moat's family and the | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
police themselves have been waiting for. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Meanwhile, PC David Rathband, the police officer shot and blinded by | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Raoul Moat, said he would be remembering Moat's other victims as | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
the anniversary approached. He has been taking part in a golf | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
tournament for his charity, the Blue Lamp Foundation. His caddie, | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
millionaire businessman Duncan Bannatyne, said PC Rathband was an | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
inspiration. Teeing off for a round of golf in | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
aid off his Blue Lamp charity, David Rathband has clearly lost so | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
:08:19. | :08:19. | ||
much. And yet has much he wants to give. Mike turning point was when I | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
was able to come back from the car, realising that I had died in the | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
car. Anything else is a bonus. -- my turning point. I am still alive, | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
unlike Chris Brown, which is absolutely dreadful. My thoughts go | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
out to his family. And among the celebrity guests was a TV Dragon | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Duncan Bannatyne, a patron of the foundation, and David's caddie for | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
the day. He has done so much and has kept his sense of humour. He is | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
fantastic. PC Rathband was a keen golfer before he was blinded and an | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
invitation to the World Blind Golf Championships was a turning-point | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
in his year. I think you realise, meeting 60 Blind golfers, that life | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
does not end when you lose your eyesight. I am here to enjoy and | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
hopefully leave a footprint for my life that somebody can look back on | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
and think, that is the policeman who did that charity and played | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
golf and climbed mountains, instead of, that was the policeman that got | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
blinded by the camera Raoul Moat. So a year on from that terrible | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
tragedy, PC David Rathband is proving that life goes on and that | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
:09:43. | :09:46. | ||
for him at least, his days in the Police are looking for two men | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
after shop assistants were sprayed with ammonia during an armed | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
robbery on a jewellery shop. The thieves are thought to have escaped | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
with a large amount of diamonds at the David Hall store on Newcastle's | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
Gosforth High Street. After smashing into a cabinet | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
containing diamonds, the robbers attacked the staff. Everybody was | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
frightened and shaking. The man went inside the jewellery shop with | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
a hammer and smashed one of the windows and took all of the | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
diamonds. The staff were too upset to appear on camera but they told | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
us of the robbers had come in, smashed a glass door to get access | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
to diamonds and had then thrown ammonia into the faces of some of | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
their colleagues, which caused the choking effect. They then left the | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
shop and escaped a Ben Ali to a car park at the back. -- escaped up an | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
alley. The two male staff are being treated as a precaution. | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Northumbria Police have yet to confirm the quantity or value of | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the diamonds. Eyewitnesses say the thieves left carrying a bag. A | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
daylight raid is a shock. Really shocked, Gosforth High Street. The | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
most you get is a bit off road rage. We see them every day. We are | :11:11. | :11:20. | |
A pensioner has been taken to hospital after what is thought to | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
be a gas explosion at a house in Sunderland this morning. Fire crews | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
were called to Craigshaw Square at Hylton Castle just before 10:30am. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
The 84 year-old woman is said to have suffered serious injuries and | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
a neighbour was treated at the scene for slight smoke inhalation. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
Early indications suggest it was a domestic gas build up which caused | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
a explosion. We are still going through the investigation. There | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
was some heroic acts undertaken by neighbours to get the elderly lady | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
out and to hospital. Police have identified a woman | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
whose body was found in Northumberland. She was 45 year-old | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Valerie Brown from Guide Post, who had been missing since Saturday. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
Her body was found near the A 196 in Morpeth yesterday evening. | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
A Chinese company has said it wants to take over Northumbrian Water. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
The company says it is prepared to make a cash offer for business but | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
has not revealed how much it is prepared to pay. Analysts think it | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
will have to pay shareholders have to �5 a share. Motorists in | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Middlesbrough can forward to a smoother ride this summer. That is | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
because the council has declared a zero-tolerance policy on potholes. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
A new hotline means residents can report potholes as soon as they see | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
them, and the council has pledged to have the work done within three | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
days. Potholes - we hate them. They can | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
damage your tyres, bend your suspension and at worst, cause an | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
accident. Well, at last, Middlesbrough Council has the means | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
:13:05. | :13:05. | ||
to do something about them. We have has received external funding of | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
nearly �250,000, which is specifically to repair roads after | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
the weather. We have done a lot already and we have also got a | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
footpath and road replacement programme to supplement this. | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Tarmacking crews like these should be a familiar sight on the town's | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
pitted roads this summer. All the public has to do is pick up the | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
phone. The council says the hotline will allow the public to establish | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
its own priorities as to which potholes are in the most urgent | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
need of filling. When they received a call, they are pledging to do the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
work within three days. But in difficult times, should potholing | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
be one of the council's priorities? Yes, because potholes can be a | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
hazard. We have to save money but this council, for the local people | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
driving around in potholes, yes. The council's Zero Tolerance | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
campaign will last for three months. 0800 013 6001 is the hotline number | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
the public needed to call. Crews will report back when they find the | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:23. | ||
carriageway in need of more Nearly �470 million down the drain. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Another �27 million to follow. And it comes just when we are all being | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
told to tighten our belts. The fire control centre in Durham was set up | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
by the previous government, as part of a plan to centralise our local | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
fire services. But the coalition has scrapped it and the building | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
has never been used but the rent still has to be paid. Now a new | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
report has condemned the whole project. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
This is one of nine fire control centres around the country. It was | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
built against the wishes of our local fire services and now it | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
looks like it will never be used unless someone else can be | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
persuaded to take it over. Now the Audit Office has spent three months | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
producing a report into the project and it does not make for happy | :15:05. | :15:14. | |
reading. It has been a comprehensive failure, costing the | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
taxpayer at least �469 million, which has been wasted. No new | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
information technology system has been delivered and eight out of the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
nine regional control centres up and down the country, purpose-built, | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
are empty and very expensive to run in the meantime. Expensive indeed - | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
�27 million of your money, to be exact. Imagine what you could buy | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
with that. All four Fire and Rescue services in the North East as well | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
as in the rest of the country will be facing cuts. �27 million locally | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
would finance front line fire- fighting posts, allow it to be to | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
safety, all of which will be impacted adversely over the next | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
four to five years. One of the criticisms of the building was that | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
it was over specialised. Now it is here and we are stuck with it is | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
difficult to envisage any other organisation being able to make use | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
of such a structure. Plenty more to come tonight: Her | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
husband a kidney - now they are cooking up a fundraising recipe | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
together. And with high pressure in charge over the weekend, it looks | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
like a dry one for most of us. Three years ago, Claire Green | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
donated one of her healthy kidneys to her husband, Philip, who had | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
kidney disease. The operation saved his life. Today, things are going | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
so well for the couple they have now embarked on their next joint | :16:48. | :16:57. | |
operation. We went to Redcar to check on their | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
progress. This is the last time we saw Philip | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
and Claire on our TV screens. It was the day before their operation. | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
And of these is today. We would like to declare the cafe open! | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
couple are run in the cafe together. Claire is front of house and Philip | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
is in the kitchen. Today is about giving something back as well. This | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
has always been a lifelong dream for myself. When art was made | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
redundant, my wife encouraged me to follow my dream and I think has | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
been the family we are, that is why renamed the cafe after our | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
daughters. We can support a charity which is nice and it means | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
something to us as well. It is just amazing. Phil was made redundant | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
and it is just nice to give something back. Something for it -- | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
family orientated where we can all be involved. The kids can come | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
after school and we can give a donation to the kidney research | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
charity. And 40 pence from every bowl of chilli will be donated to | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
kidney Research UK. Why gilet? Well, it has got kidney beans in it, of | :18:14. | :18:22. | |
course! Good luck to Claire and Philip. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
Today is the final day of the consultation into children's heart | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
services. And Newcastle's Freeman Hospital could be under threat. The | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
NHS plans to reduce the number of centres from 11 to six or seven, | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
across England and Wales. The review has set out four possible | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
options, one of which closes the unit at the Freeman and which has | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
sparked strong opposition. Nearly 2000 people across the North have | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
submitted responses to the consultation process. It is rather | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
simple. We provide services and some of the best quality Akram's | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
internationally. We have the infrastructure and we can develop | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
our services further. Provided the decisions are made on the evidence | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
available, we are confident we can take our services forward here. | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
A York painter who scandalised society with paintings of female | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
nudes is the subject of a new exhibition that attempts to restore | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
his reputation. William Etty was ostracised by the 19th century art | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
world because of his explicit canvases. But a major exhibition of | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
his work at York Art Gallery makes the claim that the paintings were | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
:19:45. | :19:46. | ||
more than mere smut. William Etty is York's most famous | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
painter, made so by his subject matter - voluptuous, fleshy female | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
nudes that shocked his 19th century viewers. "Nakedness without purity | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
is offensive and indecent, and Mr Eddie's canvas is mere dirty | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
:20:05. | :20:07. | ||
flesh," said the Times in 1822. -- Mr Etty's. But now we are being | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
asked to reconsider Etty's reputation. York Art Gallery is | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
exhibiting more than 100 of his paintings. Today we think there is | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
so much more to betty than just his nudes. He was actually a fantastic | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
painter. When you see he's realistic depictions of flesh, they | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
are so wonderfully detailed and he used his incredible colour and | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
really imaginative compositions. are we persuaded? It is fairly | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
obvious, the sensuousness and the quality of the flesh and the colour | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
that he has got. It seems to me that there were a lot of people | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
around, particularly men at the time, of course, thinking, oh good, | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
another picture of his to have a look at, it might be a little bit | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
naughty! Certainly in this drawing of the artist, Etty looks rather | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
lascivious. And the exhibition notes that his models were from | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
life classes, which it says he enjoyed visiting even into his | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
advancing years. I bet he did! But then he was gone, dying in 1849 | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
aged 62, watching the sunset over the River Ouse. "Wonderful! | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
Wonderful! This death." he said. And here he lies, in the grounds of | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
St Olave's church, perhaps waiting for our judgment to be passed on | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
:21:40. | :21:46. | ||
Not the sort of thing we usually have on Look North but we are on | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
later than usual! Time for sport and good news for | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
the England women's team. They beat New Zealand 2-1. They will be | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
singing tonight. Talking of singing, some new songs at St James'. They | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
are going to have to brush up on their language skills. Newcastle | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
have signed the their fourth French player of the summer. 18 year-old | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
midfielder Mehdi Abeid from French side Lens had a trial with the club | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
last season and has signed a five- year deal at St James' Park. The | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
France under-18 international joins countryman Yohan Cabaye, Sylvain | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Marveaux and Demba Ba in Alan Pardew's new-look team. The world's | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
number two golfer, Lee Westwood, has become the attached tour | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
professional at Close House in Northumberland. Westwood played at | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
the official opening of the course in the Tyne Valley in May alongside | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
his pal Alan Shearer. The charity event raised well over �100,000 for | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
the Freeman Hospital's children's heart unit. Westwood is now hoping | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
his partnership with Close House will put the new course firmly on | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
:22:56. | :22:59. | ||
the golfing map. That is the idea. I play golf around the world. Close | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
House's name will be mentioned. Northern England and the North East | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
get neglected a bit with golf in this country. It is over ten years | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
since it won just down the road from their. There are a few good | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
North East and golfers. They could be more with facilities like this | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
helping. Durham County Cricket Club has recorded an operating loss of | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
�938,000 for the last financial year. They do not accept -- expect | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
to see a return to profit until 2013. It moves away from | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
international cricket as a source of revenue. The club sought a 17 % | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
rise on the corporate and sponsorship rise and there are | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
plans to build a hotel. Durham have lost their Twenty20 clash tonight | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
and Yorkshire have set Northants a target of 144 in their day-night | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
game. The Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10km | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
road race returns for a sixth time this September. It is one of the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
biggest sporting events for raising money for charities in the North. | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
This year organisers hope the largest number of entrants ever | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
will take part. Among them, a group of footballers raising funds for a | :24:09. | :24:19. | |
charity set up by a Boro legend. Professional athletes, fun runners | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
and charity mascots launched this year's Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10K | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Road Race. Organisers expect this year's event in September will be | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
the biggest ever, with 5000 taking part. Last year, BBC Tees' very own | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
Gladiator, Diane Youdale, provided the warm-up. Among those pounding | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
the streets was the event Boro manager, Gordon Strachan. This year, | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
football will be represented by a more popular figures. It is a great | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
event. I have not run anything like the Great North Run or London | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Marathon or anything similar but I took part in it last year and | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. 6.2 miles is just about enough for | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
me. I hope I can manage the distance. I did a marathon last | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
year so I know the distance is OK. It is just the speed. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Middlesbrough's only captain to have lifted a major trophy is a | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
running in aid of the Finlay Cooper Fund. It was set up by his friend | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
and former Boro colleague Colin Cooper after his son died | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
tragically nine years ago. Fantastic, the charity that they | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
have put in place and raised so much money already for so many | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
local good causes. Colin rang me and caught me at a moment of | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
weakness. From the day of the race, there are a lot of people raising | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
money for charity. We say good luck to all of them. And if 10km is too | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :26:02. | ||
much for you, there is a 3km fun A fine, dry weekend for most of us. | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
Not record-breaking temperatures but not a lot of rain around. This | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
evening through the night, just the odd shower. Clear skies combining | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
with polite winter to lower temperatures. In single figures in | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
a few spots. A fine, dry largely a sunny start to Saturday morning. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
Good spells of sunshine through most places in the morning. Cloud | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
bubbling up in the afternoon but any showers will be light and few | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
and far between. Most places bone dry. The wind is light and variable. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
A shade cooler across the coast but good sunny spells on both | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
coastlines tomorrow afternoon. High pressure in charge at the tail end | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
of the week and right through the weekend as well. It does not look | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
that can be seen but it does enough to keep all those weather fronts at | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
bay and by Sunday we will see more in the wake of sunshine. More | :27:02. | :27:11. | |
:27:12. | :27:15. | ||
weekend events. If you're joining us at the Classic Car Show on | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
Sunday, bring the sun cream. Into the beginning of the next working | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
week, it looks like we stay fine and dry. Pretty warm form Monday. | :27:25. | :27:35. | |
Andy Murray's dream of winning Wimbledon is over for another year. | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
He was knocked out in the men's semi-final by Rafael Nadal. The | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
Duke of Duchess of Cambridge have bee taking part in celebrations for | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
Canada Day. And, nearly a year after he was | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
shot and blinded by gunman Raoul Moat, PC David Rathband has been | :27:48. | :27:55. |
