:00:12. > :00:16.offences against three boys. Also, no pets here. The advice to
:00:16. > :00:19.dog owners after three deaths at a nature reserve.
:00:19. > :00:28.The man who helped make the Tyne the best salmon river in England
:00:28. > :00:33.accuses scientists of putting the river at risk.
:00:33. > :00:38.I am at one of the biggest free events in Europe at the Sunderland
:00:38. > :00:41.Airshow. There are more be 1 million people here this weekend.
:00:41. > :00:51.In sport, we talk to the Brazilian legend Juninho about his Riverside
:00:51. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:03.return ahead of Boro's friendly He was a pillar of society. A
:01:03. > :01:06.former council chairman. He sexually abused young boys. This
:01:06. > :01:11.afternoon, Tony Brunskill, a former Eden district councillor, was
:01:11. > :01:14.jailed for ten years. He preyed on three boys over three decades. Two
:01:14. > :01:18.were pupils at a school in Lancashire where he was a teacher
:01:18. > :01:28.in the 1970s. The third was a Cumbrian boy he assaulted between
:01:28. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:33.2008 and 2010. Tony Brunskill sat with his head
:01:33. > :01:38.bowed as the verdict was read out at Carlisle Crown Court. The
:01:38. > :01:46.details of the offences against the boys aged between eight and 17 were
:01:46. > :01:52.harrowing, leaving no doubt about the devastating effect on victims.
:01:52. > :01:57.Over a period, particular with the Cumbria incident, he knew the
:01:58. > :02:04.mother. She thought he was acting as a father figure. She is
:02:04. > :02:09.disgusted by his actions. To see him use his position of trust.
:02:09. > :02:15.Thankfully, he is now behind bars. It was hard to listen to the
:02:15. > :02:21.evidence. Yes, even going back to the incidence in the early 1970s.
:02:21. > :02:29.They were horrific. I could not put myself in place of what the boys
:02:29. > :02:33.went through. The judge told him your offences are disgusting and
:02:33. > :02:37.you instigated two campaigns of sustained sexual abuse on two boys
:02:37. > :02:43.who regarded you as a father figure. The boys will have to live with
:02:43. > :02:46.what you did to them for the rest of their lives.
:02:46. > :02:49.Police in Cumbria are looking for a 15-year-old boy who has been
:02:49. > :02:51.missing for two days. Connor Gordon, from the Appleby area, was last
:02:52. > :02:56.seen in Carlisle on Wednesday lunchtime. Police ask anyone with
:02:56. > :02:58.information to contact them. Today is St Olave's Day, the patron
:02:58. > :03:04.saint of Norway, and at churches throughout the region, tributes
:03:04. > :03:07.have been paid to those who died in the bombings and shootings. A book
:03:07. > :03:10.of condolence has been opened at the Norwegian Consulate in
:03:10. > :03:17.Newcastle for people to express their sympathy. In York, prayers at
:03:17. > :03:21.St Olave's Church on Mary Gate, for the families of those who died. 76
:03:22. > :03:31.candles were lit. One for each of those killed in Oslo and on Utoya
:03:32. > :03:33.
:03:33. > :03:38.Island. The priest in charge says today is a poignant day. It is St
:03:38. > :03:42.Olave's Day today, the patron saint of Norway. It is difficult because
:03:42. > :03:47.the world moves on and the people of Norway are stuck one week later
:03:47. > :03:54.with their deep grief. Anybody who has grieved knows what that is like.
:03:54. > :03:57.To have national grief is truly beyond comprehension.
:03:57. > :04:02.Keep your dogs away is the advice to pet owners near Scarborough
:04:02. > :04:06.after a number of suspicious deaths at a nature reserve. Yorkshire
:04:06. > :04:14.Wildlife Trust have stepped in and are investigating. In the meantime,
:04:14. > :04:18.they have warned dog owners to stay away.
:04:18. > :04:23.They are neighbours and dog lovers. They have both seen their animals
:04:23. > :04:29.die within 20 minutes of being walked here at the nature reserve
:04:29. > :04:35.near Scarborough. Colin Richardson's dog died in 2007. Now
:04:35. > :04:40.a German shepherd has also died. It happened at the end of June. It was
:04:40. > :04:47.an horrific experience. He had been in the water and when he came out
:04:47. > :04:52.he collapsed. He convulsed and was foaming at the mouth. My wife
:04:52. > :04:56.brought the car down and I managed to carry him. He was alive at that
:04:56. > :05:01.point. We have the short journey back home. By the time we got there,
:05:01. > :05:05.he had died. Following the deaths, notices have been put up warning
:05:05. > :05:10.owners there might be a danger. Testing will be done by Yorkshire
:05:10. > :05:15.Wildlife Trust. Both men are worried their dogs could have been
:05:15. > :05:23.poisoned after strychnine was found across hills near Keith Lee, where
:05:23. > :05:28.16 dogs have died recently. I did some research into how my dog died
:05:28. > :05:32.and the only conclusion I can come to, with the speed that they were
:05:32. > :05:36.killed, is strychnine poisoning. I think somebody is putting
:05:37. > :05:41.strychnine down here, without a doubt. Water samples have been
:05:41. > :05:45.taken for analysis. Scarborough Borough Council is monitoring the
:05:45. > :05:50.situation. Dog owners are warned to be vigilant while investigations
:05:50. > :05:57.are carried out. Until there are test results, the mystery
:05:57. > :06:00.surrounding the deaths of the dogs remained very worrying.
:06:00. > :06:03.It is one of the biggest free events in Europe and around a
:06:03. > :06:06.million people are expected to turn out. Sunderland's International Air
:06:06. > :06:11.Show takes place tomorrow and Sunday, with more than eight hours
:06:11. > :06:21.of flying displays and plenty more. The preparations are almost
:06:21. > :06:23.
:06:23. > :06:27.complete. Our reporter joins us live.
:06:27. > :06:34.We can hear over my head one of the aircraft going off. People are here
:06:34. > :06:39.already. Some of the aircraft are here. And cross your fingers, the
:06:39. > :06:44.sunshine is here. This is one of the biggest events in the North
:06:44. > :06:49.East. It attracts thousands of people. They have been here since
:06:49. > :06:59.11am, waiting to see the action over the weekend. I have been
:06:59. > :07:23.
:07:23. > :07:29.taking a look at what has happened Final preparations today for one of
:07:29. > :07:34.the biggest free events in Europe. It started as a small event in 1988,
:07:34. > :07:41.and now 1 million people visit every year. What are they looking
:07:41. > :07:51.forward to? It gets bigger every year. It takes your breath away. It
:07:51. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :07:58.is fantastic. Big aeroplanes? Everything. It is a get together.
:07:59. > :08:05.People like the crowds. There are shops and it is marvellous. You are
:08:05. > :08:08.excited already. I am shaking! Although RAF jets and the Red
:08:08. > :08:16.Arrows will not fly because of operational reasons, there is
:08:16. > :08:22.plenty to do. We have a fun packed arena entertainment. We have Royal
:08:22. > :08:29.Marine commandos and sea cadets. We have the RAF, the army on site,
:08:29. > :08:35.doing ground displays. We have about 120 exhibitors. There are
:08:35. > :08:41.treats for children of all shapes and sizes. I feel like a small boy
:08:41. > :08:48.is sitting in here. Give us some basic facts about this aircraft.
:08:48. > :08:51.can be deployed on a full spectrum of air operations, from air
:08:51. > :08:59.policing to peace support to intensity of conflict. Where are
:08:59. > :09:04.the keys? LAUGHTER I never could find the
:09:04. > :09:12.ignition. This is a big operation. It takes a long time to organise.
:09:12. > :09:21.The woman who has been organising this is the director of the event.
:09:21. > :09:25.Give us an idea of what we can see. We have eight hours of flying. We
:09:25. > :09:29.have an Arena programme. We start tonight with 10CC and the band of
:09:29. > :09:36.the RAF. The Red Arrows are not here but there is a lot of other
:09:36. > :09:43.things. We have two other displayed teams in the skies. We have the
:09:43. > :09:51.Vulcan, which is magnificent. is huge. You see it coming from
:09:51. > :09:56.miles away. How much is it worth to the region? It is a free event, but
:09:56. > :10:02.it brings money into the economy. It brings a huge amount into the
:10:02. > :10:08.economy, it into the region as well as Sunderland. We estimate �12
:10:08. > :10:14.million of additional income. crucial question about the event is
:10:15. > :10:21.will the weather stay like this? This is fantastic. We could not
:10:21. > :10:25.have asked for a better start. Will it last? I will have a forecast
:10:25. > :10:28.later in the programme. The man credited with turning the
:10:28. > :10:31.Tyne into the best salmon river in the country says the Government is
:10:31. > :10:33.leaving the river at risk. Peter Gray says the risk comes because
:10:33. > :10:39.his former employer, the Environment Agency, is under-
:10:39. > :10:44.utilising its famous Kielder salmon hatchery. The agency says the river
:10:44. > :10:54.is largely self-sustaining. A book written by Mr Gray, published
:10:54. > :11:01.tomorrow, is likely to cause controversy among conservationists.
:11:01. > :11:08.Our reporter has the story. Peter Gray is the first to admit he
:11:08. > :11:13.caused problems for his own -- old bosses. 50 years ago, not a single
:11:13. > :11:20.salmon was caught on the River Tyne, and now, look at this video shot by
:11:20. > :11:28.a viewer. What is the problem? have got a healthy river Tyne, but
:11:28. > :11:33.it is not perfect. If we have a summer like 2003, there is a risk
:11:33. > :11:38.of disasters happening. If you have Kielder hatchery, you have the
:11:38. > :11:42.back-up to repair the damage immediately. We can cope with
:11:42. > :11:48.anything like that on the River Tyne, only if the hatchery is
:11:48. > :11:51.running at capacity. He is the man who made this place work. The
:11:51. > :11:57.process he perfected for rearing young salmon is the model for the
:11:57. > :12:03.rest of the world. The idea was to make up for spawning grounds lost
:12:03. > :12:08.when Kielder dam was built. But he says the hatchery success has been
:12:08. > :12:13.underplayed by the Environment Agency. The reason I was given is
:12:14. > :12:20.that if we reported the success we were having on the River Tyne,
:12:20. > :12:28.every other region in England and Wales, it would demand a hatchery
:12:28. > :12:32.as we have. I was told we are not having that. The agency says the
:12:32. > :12:36.river is self-sustaining, a reflection of hard work from all
:12:36. > :12:40.quarters. Peter Gray says that while the criticism will not be
:12:41. > :12:43.welcomed, he hopes it will be listened to.
:12:44. > :12:49.It was back in 1987 when Japanese excavating company Komatsu opened a
:12:49. > :12:59.factory at Birtley in Gateshead. In 1991, Gateshead twinned with the
:12:59. > :13:00.
:13:00. > :13:06.company's namesake, the town of Komatsu. It is an important
:13:06. > :13:12.employer, providing several jobs for the area. 20 years later, the
:13:12. > :13:18.towns are celebrating their blossoming friendship.
:13:18. > :13:24.The new friendship garden at park macro in Gateshead is a gift from
:13:24. > :13:34.Komatsu and a place of tranquillity and calm -- Saltwell Park. Except
:13:34. > :13:36.
:13:36. > :13:41.for today. It is about understanding our cultures and
:13:41. > :13:46.appreciating each other. There is a friendship garden in both places
:13:46. > :13:55.and that has to be worthwhile. design team have members from
:13:55. > :14:00.Gateshead and the town of Komatsu. TRANSLATION: This garden and will
:14:00. > :14:09.make our friendship stronger and in 20 years' time I am sure it will
:14:09. > :14:13.help our friendship be much stronger. The opening of the
:14:13. > :14:23.friendship garden coincides with Gateshead Flower Show, which is on
:14:23. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:34.this weekend. And the Japanese theme continues there.
:14:34. > :14:42.We are heading back to the Sunderland International Airshow.
:14:43. > :14:48.Our reporter is there. I think we are ready for take-off.
:14:48. > :14:53.There are many events going on. There will be many pilots up in the
:14:53. > :14:56.skies today. One in particular will be part of the displays. It is a
:14:56. > :14:59.homecoming. It is something of a homecoming for
:14:59. > :15:02.one man who will be flying this weekend. Lieutenant David Fleming
:15:02. > :15:04.from the Royal Navy is a pilot in the Black Cats helicopter display
:15:04. > :15:14.team. He is from Bedlington, Northumberland. He went to
:15:14. > :15:15.
:15:15. > :15:22.Newcastle's Royal Grammar School. Earlier, he took off from Newcastle
:15:22. > :15:29.Airport to give us a pilot's eye view from the sky. Newcastle. I
:15:29. > :15:34.have been away for a while, but it is good to be back home. We fly
:15:34. > :15:44.Lynx helicopters on the displays with two people on board. Myself as
:15:44. > :15:51.pilot and an observer. The Lynx has the world speed record for a
:15:51. > :15:57.helicopter. It travels at 170 miles per hour. Within moments of taking
:15:57. > :16:01.off from Newcastle Airport, we can see the River Tyne. We will follow
:16:01. > :16:11.the river to the mouth of the River Tyne. It looks different from this
:16:11. > :16:24.
:16:24. > :16:28.point of view. Next, we head for Sunderland. We can already see the
:16:28. > :16:31.beaches of the seafront. They will be packed when we return tomorrow
:16:31. > :16:36.and Sunday. There are a lot of people working to get things ready.
:16:36. > :16:45.Let's hope for good weather. This is Lieutenant David Fleming for BBC
:16:45. > :16:50.Look North. It is not only aircraft in the
:16:50. > :16:56.skies this weekend. The event kicks off in 15 minutes with music from
:16:56. > :17:04.the band of the Royal Air Force Regiment. The director of the band
:17:04. > :17:08.is with me now. What is on the programme? The weekend is about a
:17:08. > :17:13.celebration of everything in the sky so we will have the Spitfire
:17:13. > :17:18.Prelude. We will do the best of the Royal Air Force, Those magnificent
:17:18. > :17:23.men in the Flying Machines. And, dam Busters. Classics to get the
:17:23. > :17:29.crowd. We will let you get off and prepare. There are different types
:17:29. > :17:35.of music tonight. And one of my favourite bands was at 10CC in my
:17:35. > :17:39.youth. Graham Gouldman is here. You will be playing today. Many people
:17:39. > :17:48.will be watching this. Many romantic encounters were brought
:17:48. > :17:58.together from your tracks! We will definitely be doing I am andy, Fly
:17:58. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:10.Have you played an Airshow before? No. Last week we played at
:18:10. > :18:16.Silverstone. We were competing with cars, which was fun. But, we do
:18:16. > :18:21.play unusual venues. It is always interesting to do. It looks like it
:18:21. > :18:27.will be a great evening. You never get bored with the music business?
:18:27. > :18:33.No. I do not know why. If I did not enjoy it, I would not do it.
:18:33. > :18:41.will be back here in a few minutes' time with more from the Airshow,
:18:41. > :18:51.including live music. I cannot wait for that. I used to
:18:51. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:54.love 10CC. That shows my age. Many more thrills to be had. Yes.
:18:54. > :18:57.In his three spells on Teesside, Middlesbrough footballer Juninho
:18:57. > :19:00.was hailed a legend. Tonight, the Brazilian is back, aged 38, playing
:19:00. > :19:04.in a friendly against PSV Eindhoven. The little fella, as Teesside knew
:19:04. > :19:11.him, is likely to come off the bench in the second half. Ian Reeve
:19:11. > :19:15.is at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium.
:19:15. > :19:18.It has been a canny move of Middlesbrough to bring back a
:19:18. > :19:24.legend to shift many thousands of tickets that would not have been
:19:24. > :19:29.sold had he not been playing. There are many fans in the stadium for a
:19:30. > :19:33.game that kicks off at 7:30pm. They are keen to see him in the red and
:19:33. > :19:39.white of Middlesbrough again. Incredible as it may seem, not
:19:39. > :19:49.everybody thinks it is a great idea. Osvaldo Giroldo Junior, better
:19:49. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :20:00.known as Juninho. Signed three times by Middlesbrough, in 2007
:20:00. > :20:07.voted the club's best ever. He is back to play in a friendly. It is
:20:07. > :20:12.marvellous. One of the best moments of my career. The title of the
:20:12. > :20:22.Carlingcott, there are many things to remember ables stock and to a
:20:22. > :20:22.
:20:22. > :20:31.still remember you. I hope so. I remember them. He is a
:20:31. > :20:36.legend. It is nice for the fans. He has the opportunity to say goodbye,
:20:36. > :20:42.which he did not have before. everybody thinks his appearance is
:20:42. > :20:50.a good idea. Another legend says it is a PR stunt. We have one week
:20:50. > :20:55.before we play Portsmouth. And to turn it into a carnival, I think it
:20:55. > :20:59.is not professional. Not a good idea. The idea of his return is
:20:59. > :21:04.thought to have come from Middlesbrough's commercial
:21:04. > :21:10.department, not the manager and coaches. If it was me and Tony
:21:10. > :21:17.Mowbray said Juninho had flown in, I would not install him. Will fans
:21:17. > :21:23.care about such things? Will it be enough to see a returning hero. The
:21:23. > :21:28.turnout tonight will probably tell us. The club says they have sold
:21:28. > :21:33.15,000 tickets in advance and more thousands are turning up to play on
:21:33. > :21:42.the turn style. It is a reasonable �10 to say goodbye for a fourth
:21:42. > :21:45.time to the silky skills of Juninho. You have 40 minutes if you want to
:21:46. > :21:49.get to that match. More visa trouble for Newcastle
:21:49. > :21:52.United. It is understood that instead of flying back with the
:21:52. > :21:56.rest of the squad from the Magpies' tour of the US, midfielder Cheik
:21:56. > :22:00.Tiote flew to Ghana to sort out a visa issue. He will miss Sunday's
:22:00. > :22:02.friendly at Leeds. In athletics, Teesside's Chris
:22:02. > :22:06.Tomlinson, the newBritish long-jump record holder, is competing
:22:06. > :22:10.tomorrow. He goes head to head with his long-term rival Greg Rutherford
:22:10. > :22:13.at the Aviva UK Trials and Championships in Birmingham.
:22:13. > :22:17.Between them, they have shared the national title for the past seven
:22:17. > :22:20.years and Tomlinson regained it two weeks ago. He will be looking to
:22:20. > :22:30.secure a place at the World Championships in South Korea next
:22:30. > :22:34.
:22:34. > :22:44.month. Finally, in the Test match, no wicket yet it for Yorkshire.
:22:44. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:54.India are 24-1. But, a dramatic victory for Sri Lanka et al for
:22:54. > :22:58.
:22:58. > :23:05.Excellent. That is all from us in the studio for tonight. We can go
:23:05. > :23:13.back to Sunderland. The success of the Airshow depends on the weather.
:23:13. > :23:18.What will it be like? It is really important, the weather
:23:18. > :23:23.for an event like this. We have beautiful blue skies on the
:23:23. > :23:30.seafront. Crucially, we are expecting them to last most of the
:23:30. > :23:37.weekend. We can look across the region. We have bright spells to
:23:37. > :23:43.look forward to. Generally, a fine forecast. Through this evening and
:23:43. > :23:50.overnight it will stay clear. Some evening sunshine in Sunderland and
:23:50. > :23:55.across the North East and Cumbria. Tomorrow morning, dry everywhere.
:23:55. > :24:00.It will be a nice morning across the Pennines and Cumbria will see
:24:00. > :24:05.the best of the sunshine, with some great blues skies across the Lake
:24:05. > :24:13.District and Cumbrian coast. On the Sunderland coast it could be cloudy
:24:13. > :24:18.at times, but generally find and dry. -- fine. The top temperature
:24:18. > :24:25.tomorrow will be 20 degrees. It will feel like summer and it will
:24:25. > :24:30.feel warm. It will be cooler on the Northumbrian coast. Over the next
:24:30. > :24:35.few days, we can look at the forecast for Sunday and Monday, and
:24:35. > :24:41.it turns unsettled for a time on Sunday. Maybe some showers in
:24:41. > :24:49.Cumbria. In the North East, staying fine through much of Sunday. We hit
