Welcome to Monday's Look North. In tonight's headlines, summertime in | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Cumbria. Flash flooding damages homes and cause a bridge to | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
collapse. I'm just devastated. It's something you could not have | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
predicted. A tiny little stream doing this immense amount of damage. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
An investigation's begun after a woman dies following a dive off the | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Northumberland coast. Legal battle for the family who | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
lost a baby twin daughter. And no dough for Gregg's girl Helen. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
She won't be Lord Sugar's business partner. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
In sport, we'll round up the weekend's action. And Hartlepool, | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
here we come! Why Hangus and the lads could be performing in front | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:57. | ||
of a packed house at Victoria Park The full extent of damage caused by | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
severe flash flooding became clear to the residents of a Cumbrian | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
community today. A bridge collapsed and homes were damaged as a | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
normally small beck turned into a torrent of water. People living in | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Great Corby near Carlisle, fear they could be forced to live | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
elsewhere for months while repair work is carried out. Our reporter | :01:14. | :01:22. | |
Alison Freeman is there for us now. Alison, tell us what happened. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
this is a place which doesn't normally Flood and it was that | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
screen but was the cause of many of the problems. There was a downpour | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
in the afternoon which caused a lot of surface water but then the | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
bridges got caught with debris which caused the water to back up, | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
knocking this wall down, and sending water flooding into the | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
cottages which put behind us here. Further downstream, a bridge has | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
been completely knocked out of use. Today, I had been talking to the | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
people who live here. They tell me they can't believe what's happened. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
The force at which the water came in his career. But almost as | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
quickly as it arrived yesterday afternoon, it sank away again. The | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
mess it has made us left the house holders believing it will be months | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
before they can live in the six affected homes again. Across the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
road, at the primary school, 70 pupils missed out on the sports day | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
today. It burst its banks ripping up the new soft play ground | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
services, covering the area in more than 30 tons of silt. I am just | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
devastated. It is something you could not have predicted. A tiny | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
little stream doing this amount amount of damage. I can't believe | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
it. It's devastating. At the pub, the lack of gas meant no food could | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
be served today. Gas suppliers could be off until Thursday. But | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
the main concern here is the closed road. The collapsed bridge means | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
that pub is now in a dead-end with a landlady fears could be fatal for | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
business. From this road, we get 80% of our business. And from next | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
week, when the children break up, I was hoping for the tourists, the | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
cyclists, the Walkers, to come in but now they won't. They will delay | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
the tour and not hit this pub at all. What does that mean in real | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
terms? A worrying statement. It could mean the closure of the pub. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
The Environment Agency says this was a freak event and simply shows | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
the complexities of planning for floods. I think in rural areas when | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
you get intense rainfall it's almost impossible to predict where | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
it might happen and almost impossible to stop it. But, for now, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
all the villagers can do is assess the damage. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
A total of six properties have been affected by the flooding. With me | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
now is the owner of one of those. Tell me a little bit about what you | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
found yesterday when you got home. We got back from town yesterday and | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
just couldn't believe it. It was absolutely awesome, in one way. All | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
the houses were completely flooded. I've never seen anything like it | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
before. It was horrendous. Is this something which has happen to you | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
before? No, and hopefully it will never happen again. One of the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
gentle man who lives in the village he was well into his eighties, came | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
down yesterday and said he has lived here all of his life and is | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
said never happened before. It's just one of those things, flash | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
flooding can happen to anyone. Unfortunately, it happened to us | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
yesterday. You live with your family in this house. Where are you | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
going to go and when do you think you will be back? The we have the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
insurance on the case. I think we will be out of the House for six | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
months. We will stay in a hotel and then we could go into rented | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
accommodation. It will take six or eight weeks to for the house to dry | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
out and then for it to be rewired and replastered. Thanks very much. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
We know the editor of the tea is back on. The gas will be back on by | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Thursday but there road closure no one knows when it will be up and | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
running again. -- the electricity is back on. Back to you. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
The rest of the day's news now. A carer has appeared in court to deny | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
neglecting a dementia sufferer who died in an old people's home in | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
South Shields. Daphne Joseph from South Shields will go on trial next | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
year. She was arrested after an investigation at the Saint | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Michael's View care home run by Southern Cross. Among the residents | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
was Joyce Wordingham, who suffered from Alzheimers and who died in | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
February last year. In a separate hearing, Sean Abbott, a care worker | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
from Gainsborough Avenue in South Shields, was accused of assault | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
charges in relation to four patients at the same home. They | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
were both granted bail. Three people have been charged with | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
invading a football pitch, following trouble at Darlington's | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
pre-season friendly with Newcastle on Friday night. A 21-year-old man | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
from Newcastle and a 22-year-old man from Gateshead will appear | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
before Darlington magistrates next Tuesday. A 17-year-old Darlington | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
youth will appear before the town's youth court next month. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
A Cumbrian firm has been fined �90,000 after two workers suffered | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
life-threatening injuries when they were engulfed by a fireball at its | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
factory in Wigton. The prosecution was brought by the Health and | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Safety Executive, following the fire at Innovia films in September | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
2006. The fire was caused by an electrical fault. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
A woman who died during a diving expedition off the Northumberland | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
coast has been named. Doctor Ruth Fletcher, who was 60 years-old and | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
from the Stocksfield area of the county, surfaced unconscious during | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
a dive off the island of Longstone near Seahouses yesterday afternoon. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
She was airlifted to hospital but soon after was pronounced dead by | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
doctors. Adele Robinson reports. A weekend diving trip turned to | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
tragedy. Dr Ruth Fletcher was a amongst a group of divers who had | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
been visiting a site next to the islands but yesterday at around | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
12:30pm she fell unconscious while surfacing from a dive. When she was | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
pulled out, she had no pulse. a tragedy. There's nothing you can | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
really say about it. Tragic circumstances. Everybody did their | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
level best to help this lady. Unfortunately, we couldn't do | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
anything this time. Emergency services were called and CPR was | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
carried out. A nearby helicopter winched dr Fletcher from the | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
harbour to the local hospital where she was pronounced dead. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Unfortunately, this is the first fatality in quite a long time | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
involving divers. The first one I have come across in 10 or 15 years. | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
It's believed Dr Ruth Fletcher had been diving 50 metres dialled and | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
at the Longstone aside six miles out. On her website, in broad and, | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
she is described as a keen sportswoman who has enjoyed | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
national success. Among her clinical interests listed were | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
medical examinations for divers and for the oil and gas industry. It's | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
still not known exactly what happened out there, but there are | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
obvious risks involved in deep diving and it is known as a | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
potential hazard the sport. It is a hazardous sport. People | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
participating need to be particularly careful. Great care | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
needs to be taken. Generally speaking, I think they have a | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
pretty high safety record now. We don't get the call-outs we used to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
get some years ago but occasionally, unfortunately, an accident does | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
happen and when it does happen, it can be serious. The police say | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
inquiries are taking place to establish the exact circumstances | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
of the incident and a report is being prepared for the coroner. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
They suffered the heartbreak of losing a baby. Now a couple from | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Teesside are considering legal action against a hospital. Named | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Rose, she was stillborn but her parents blame a delay in inducing | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
the birth. Her identical twin sister did survive. But the family | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
believe extra pressures on the maternity unit at the time may have | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
held up the delivery. Peter Harris reports. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Faith survived. But her parents struggle with knowing she should | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
have had an identical twin sister. At 38 weeks, Debbie had a scan and | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
says she was told the births would be induced that night or next day. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
In the event, that didn't happen till after a weekend and Rose was | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
:09:48. | :09:49. | ||
stillborn. We already bought two coats -- cots, double pushchair, | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
everything I've had to get rid of and it has not our fault at all. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
It's just really hard. The James Cook Hospital carried out an | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
investigation into Rose's death. It says it tries to avoid inducing | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
babies in complicated situation that weekends because of a lack of | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
specialists staff but in these letters to the parents, it admits | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
the two-day delay in giving birth to Rose might have made a | :10:18. | :10:28. | |
:10:28. | :10:37. | ||
The twins were born in 2009 at a time when the nearby Friarage | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
maternity unit in Northallerton was closed due to staff shortages. The | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
Trust declined to comment on the family claims this may have added | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
to pressures at Middlesbrough. They plan to sue. It's not about the | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
money. If we can help anybody else in the long run, in the future, and | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
save anybody else's children, well, then that will be enough for me. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
Plenty more to come in tonight's Look North. Find out what's next | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
for the Gregg's girl who came runner up in the Apprentice. The | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
cocoa that went with Scott to the Antarctic and other chocolate | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
making history. And after that wild weekend weather Wise, the next few | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
days are looking more settled? No, not really. I will have more | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
details shortly. We're going to kick-off a new | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
series now, speaking to people from our region who have made a bit of | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
an impact. Appropriately enough, the first of our headliners is in | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the media business. In fact, he's right at the heart of of everything | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
that's going on, right now in the world of newspapers and of politics. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
If you follow the goings-on at Westminster, you will have heard | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
about and heard from Kevin Maguire, the Daily Mirror's political man | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
and associate editor has a column in the New Statesman magazine and | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
is a TV and regular radio host. In South Shields, he is great crack. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
like getting out and meeting them. Asking them tricky questions. I | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
remember being told, don't be frightened of anybody, don't be | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
intimidated. You might get shout that occasionally by a politician | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
but they are never going to hit you. Unless it's John Prescott, of | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
course. Gordon Brown, terribly grumpy in his public image. He is a | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
hoot in private. He loves football, tell jokes, has a drink. You would | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
never see that, the public. You never saw it on TV, on radio. I | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
love it pulling the Leader David Cameron because he's incredibly | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
thin skinned. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but an | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
entire dinner said. He wants to be taken seriously. -- dinner set. He | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
got a job with the Tory party as a researcher. Somebody ran at a | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Buckingham Palace and put in a word. I like pulling his leg and | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
reminding him of that. We don't have to balance grape. The papers | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
themselves were making the news lately. All three Westminster | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
parties there they will vote for News Corporation to abandon its | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
takeover of BSkyB. The News Corporation boss bows to relentless | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
pressure after prices -- crisis talks with his top executives. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
it something anybody knew about really? I love newspapers and I | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
thought I knew everything that went on but the extent of the telephone | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
hacking revelations are completely surprising to me. I'm totally blind | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
side by it. If you had to will be the News of the World were close, I | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
would believe it. Then again, I wouldn't believe a newspaper would | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
hack into the voice messages of Milly Dowler, a girl who had been | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
abducted and then delete some of them when her voice mail was full | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
up. That wasn't journalism but in humanity. Fleet Street is dog-eat- | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
dog but no one wants to see a newspaper closing. You like to see | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
your rivals taken down a peg or two but to do more on the passing of a | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
paper. Something like the News of the World, OK, it was a fierce | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
commercial rival but had 168 years of history. In 1843, when it was | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
founded, it carried one of the first reviews of a Christmas Carol | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
by Charles Dickens. All the sudden, it was a bad place but were | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
sacrificed by a management who really should have gone and the | :14:34. | :14:44. | |
:14:44. | :14:50. | ||
If you cannot beat them, you can join them! There will always be a | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
future for newspapers, even with all the modern developments. People | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
like to read it in trains, even in the bath if you want to. As long as | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
we can get enough people to buy them, it will be OK. | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Easy as that! Well, here's someone else in the news, but not making | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the headlines many people thought she would. Helen Milligan, who | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
lives in Northumberland and who's the Personal Assistant to the boss | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
of North East bakers, Greggs. She'd been tipped to become Lord Alan | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
Sugar's new business partner, after reaching last night's final of "The | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
Apprentice." Things didn't go quite according to plan. But there is a | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:39. | ||
This is not a job. I am looking for someone who has got a brain and | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
will start a business with me. For a few heart-stopping minutes | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Helen Milligan was just two words away from Lord Sugar's �250,000 | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
investment. But in the end those words went to the man sitting next | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
to her. Tom, you are hired. Helen failed at the very last, and most | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
crucial, hurdle: the business plan. I feel terribly disappointed, to be | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
honest, to be frank with you. Where was your head? Are I understand | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
what you were saying... Her idea for a national concierge service | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
didn't impress Lord Sugar or his team of business experts. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
obviously disappointed, emotional watching it back. My Achilles heel | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
was always going to be that I had never started my business. Helen's | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
been described as a workaholic with little or no social life. She was | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
so focussed on her tasks, she even forgot the date of her own 30th | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
birthday while filming the series. Today her employer Greggs praised | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
her outstanding performance in reaching the final and eased the | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
pain of her disappointment with a little business incentive of their | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
own. The great news is that Helen will do a very senior role within | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
the business. She is away at the moment because the media are very | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
interested in her, but the -- she will be back within a week. She has | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
always wanted to do this type of role and it will be good for her | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
and ours. It seems Helen will have her cake, pie or pasty and eat it! | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
From the bakers to the confectioners, and the city of York, | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
which has been at the centre of chocolate production for more than | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
a century. Henry Rowntree founded his first factory there, back in | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
1862. Well, the company was taken over by Nestle UK in the 1980s, but | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
it's still proud of its past. And now a state-of-the-art archive has | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
:17:35. | :17:38. | ||
been set up at Nestle HQ in York. Amanda Harper reports. | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
1932, when the factory girls were in it for two as they packed top up | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
boxes here. It is this rich history captured on film that the company | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
are keen to cherish in their new archive. It is great to have this | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
it did -- all together in one place. We can use it for research as well | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
as going into the community to show people what we have here. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
state-of-the-art facility is packed with history from old catalogues | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
and packaging to these quirky characters. Just take a look at | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
this huge Ed Balls that dates back to the roaring 1920s when life was | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
:18:25. | :18:31. | ||
lived to excess and no expense Big and bold romantic gestures made | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
here in York would laugh, but the company actually travelled far and | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
wide. This is the 10 of cocoa that was with Scott of the Antarctic | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
:18:52. | :18:52. | ||
when he died. We -- a rescue party went to find him seven months after | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
he died and they found Visteon and we have kept it in the archive ever | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
since. The archive gives us a taste of our chocolate loving society. | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
These products of the past can be enjoyed for many years to come. | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
Easter egg chocolate always tastes are different, doesn't it? I do not | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
know why it! Time for sport now, and Newcastle | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
off to the USA for a pre season tour without another player. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Yes, Joey Barton and Nile Ranger already stopped from going because | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
of their criminal convictions, and now it seems new signing Yohan | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Cabaye is the third player to be denied a visa. Apparently it's due | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
to some minor technicality, but it means he'll also be going to the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
Netherlands on the reserve tour. Sunderland have made another | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
signing today but it's not another player. The club has signed a | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
partnership agreement with top Ghanian side Asante Kotoko as they | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
aim to promote the club in Africa. The Black Cats want to capitalise | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
on having Ghanian striker Asamoah Gyan in their ranks and will give | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
the African side support and advice on coaching, fitness and player | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
development. Meanwhile Middlesbrough have made | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
their first signing of the summer. France U21 midfielder Malaury | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Martin has agreed a one-year contract after impressing Tony | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Mowbray during a short trial. He's captained his country at youth | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
level and made his debut in Boro's win in Croatia yesterday. | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
Now, more than a few eyebrows were raised when Hartlepool United | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
announced adult season tickets for just �100, assuming 4,000 fans | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
signed up for the special offer. Well, by Friday's deadline nearly | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
6,000 supporters had pledged to trump up the cash, surprising even | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
:20:41. | :20:45. | ||
A dangerous gamble or a genius marketing ploy? One thing is | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
certain. They'll be seeing much bigger crowds at Victoria Park this | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
season thanks to an offer many have found too good to turn down as it's | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
three times cheaper than an early bird season ticket 12 months ago. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Nearly 5,700 beat Friday's �100 deadline for a club with a stadium | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
capacity of just shy of 8,000. Season tickets at the slightly | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
higher price of �150 are now available until the end of the | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
:21:16. | :21:17. | ||
month after which they'll more than double. We have dropped the crowds | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
by 2,500 so we wanted to do something to inspire people to come | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
back to Victoria Park and support the team, get people behind the | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
team and hopefully that would spur them on to get better results. The | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
people in been ground will have extra money in their pockets to buy | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
programmes and food. Also from a commercial point of view, Our | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
Sponsors and advertisers are more likely to do business with us up | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
with 6,000 in the ground than 2,500. The marketing wing has certainly | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
helped, but with dozens of football clubs struggling with dwindling | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
crowds, have the team found a long- term solution? I have said that | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
this is what you have to do to get the fans back to the turnstiles, | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
take a bit of a risk and coming up with a deal that can try to give | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
something back to people. It is typical in this financial climate | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
because people do not have the money that they had to spend on | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
football before. Clubs up and down the country would be daft not to do | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
something like this next year. Thousands of hardy souls braved the | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
unseasonal weather to take part in the third annual Great North 10k | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
yesterday. More than 5,000 competitors, from elite racers to | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
fun runners, took part along a new course through the streets of | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Gateshead and along the Quayside before crossing the finishing line | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
at the International Stadium. British International Scott Overall | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
was the men's winner while Louise Damen took the honours for the | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
women. But it was a day where everyone who battled through the | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
:23:00. | :23:01. | ||
soggy conditions deserved a medal. 10 kilometres, it leads up to it | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
several weeks before the major run. It is a nice race. I would | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
recommend this before the main event. The last time I did 10 K was | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
a while ago. The last hill was tough, but apart from that it was | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
great. It was a wonderful course, absolutely Fabulous. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Durham's pro40 match against Surrey yesterday was a complete washout. | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
These were the scenes at Chester le Street as the rain spoiled the day | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
once again. But the dreadful conditions didn't stop the golfers | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
at the British Open at Sandwich. This birdie on the 7th to take him | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
three over par was as good as it got for Ashington's Ken Ferrie | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
though who went on to finish second last with 21 over. But York's Simon | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Dyson put in a great performance in atrocious conditions to end up two | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
over par for the tournament to take a share of ninth place and make him | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
:24:02. | :24:09. | ||
the top ranked Englishman in the What a terrible weekend in terms of | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
weather. There is more rain on the way as | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
well, you're going to tell us? Yes. The week ahead does not bode | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
too well for the next couple of days. Most of us will see more | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
showers and they will be a heavy again. There'll be some brightness, | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
and later in the week things will dry up. Heavy showers around that | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
the minute. We gradually see them becoming less widespread as we head | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
through the night. Most places will be dry by morning, just the odd | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
shower hanging on across the North Yorkshire coast, a couple in parts | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
of Cumbria, but mostly dry by the morning. Temperatures no lower than | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
11 or 12. Very light winds overnight as well. Tomorrow, we | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
have got a Met Office warning for those heavy showers. We could see | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
between 10 mm and 20 mm of rain in some places in the space of an hour. | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
That is a lot of rain and that is likely to cause localised flooding. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Mostly a dry start to the day, a bit of brightness, but the clouds | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
will bubble up and that will produce some showers in the morning. | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
By the afternoon, those showers will be slow maul -- slow-moving | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
across parts of the north-east. Cumbria escaped the worst of the | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
showers, but it is this cloudy and generally try it weather. The | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
temperatures should peak around 20 degrees. With those very well light | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
winds, catch a heavy shower and it is going nowhere fast. Heavy | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
downpours in the latter part of tomorrow afternoon, especially in | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
the eastern areas. It is not just sunny spells and scattered showers, | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
the showers are up there because of the low pressure. The weather | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
fronts are draped around it. Next week, the -- the middle part of the | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
week, there will be more rain as well. The showers will be less of a | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
problem towards the end of the wake -- week. Tomorrow, plenty of | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
showers in the east. By Wednesday, the brain becomes more widespread, | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
but temperatures making it into the high teens. For Thursday, the odd | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
shower around still. The West will see the worst. By Friday, the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
showers are few and far between. A couple in the east, but by that | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
time the temperatures will be struggling. Whatever the weather is | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
doing, you can send us your to light weather pictures to the usual | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
address. Now for a look at tonight's | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
headlines. John Yates, the assistant commissioner of the | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
Metropolitan Police, has resigned as the phone hacking scandal claims | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
another top officer. His boss, Sir Paul Stephenson, stepped down | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
yesterday. And people living in a Cumbrian | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
village have begun clearing up after a heavy downpour turned a | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
normally small beck into a torrent. Homes were flooded and a bridge | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
collapsed. And that's almost it. Join us for | :27:12. | :27:14. | |

in Manchester tonight, and comes to Newcastle next week. It's a visual | :27:21. | :27:31. | |
treat. This is one of my favourite moments. We are creating the | :27:31. | :27:41. | |
