Welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight: Forging a thousand new | :00:03. | :00:07. | |
steel jobs on Teesside. It's hoped the blast furnace, mothballed 18 | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
months ago, will be up and running within months. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Calls for a crossing on a busy dual carriageway to be closed, after the | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
death of a teenage boy. We do not want this to happen to anyone else. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
I cannot sit here and let that happen. I cannot bring him back, I | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
wish I could. He has been robbed of his life. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
"I'm sorry." - The man who shot dead a planning officer in full | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
view of the media 20 years ago apologises for the first time. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
And he's almost done it - 3,000 miles in just a hundred days. We've | :00:45. | :00:47. | |

In sport, one of Man United's rising stars is set to join | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Newcastle's French revolution. And injury time misery for two of | :00:55. | :01:05. | |

our clubs as the football league season kicks off. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
When the blast furnace closed - with the loss of 1,600 jobs - the | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
people of Teesside thought their proud history of steel-making was | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
at an end. But now, 18 months on, recruitment's underway for a | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
thousand workers to re-start steel production at the moth-balled | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
furnace in Redcar. The Thai company, SSI, took over the one-time Corus | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
plant earlier this year. It had been shut down by the previous | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
owner, Tata. Well, our business correspondent, Ian Reeve, is near | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
:01:47. | :01:48. | ||
the steel plant tonight. Ian. More than two years ago, it seemed | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
unlikely we would ever reach this day. It is a day that many workers | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
hope is just the first step in a process of them getting their old | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
jobs back. This man spent 36 years in the | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
:02:12. | :02:13. | ||
steel industry at the very heart of the blast furnace. They always say | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
that the workers here are the best in the world. Will we are the best | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
that what we do, we are still the best steel workers, the best I am | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
workers -- the best that I run makers. No-one can take that away | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:41. | ||
from us. Make craves work. -- Michael. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
was hard work but it was enjoyable. I was walking with a good set of | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
lads. He is not alone. SSI is and is abating 10,000 applications for | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
1,000 posts. A team of 35 will deal with them online. Not all of them | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
are four former workers. Steelworkers -- steel working is a | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
very precise science and we would be foolish not to bring back people | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
who work here before. But we also want to have a balance off of older | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
workers and new recruits. This is a new company, inventing itself and | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
laying down a new culture. We have to start again. It has been a busy | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
time but, every day, people are making a massive effort to get us | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
back to that point where we are making steel again. The company has | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
told me that 440 people have made at applications and 2,400 have | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
expressed an interest in the business. A some staff could be in | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
:04:08. | :04:09. | ||
place by September. It is a new start for an old industry. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Brandon Nugent died on a busy dual carriageway back in March. The 13- | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
year-old was hit by a car as he crossed a public bridleway in the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Gilesgate area of Durham City. Today his family called for the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
path he was using to be closed. Meanwhile, Durham County Council | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
says it's looking into improving safety on that stretch of road, as | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Adele Robinson reports. 13-year old Brandon Nugent was tragically | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
:04:37. | :04:38. | ||
killed just four months ago, not far from his home in Durham. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
death has left a huge hole in his family but has given them a new | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:55. | ||
purpose: To get rid of the road crossing he died on. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
It is madness that a crossing would be on a 70 miles per road. If you | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
are going to have something like this, surely the people who are in | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
charge should make sure it is up to standard. It is not good enough. | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
And today, with the support of Brandon's family, the council | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
launched a public consultation. key times of the day, the volume of | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
traffic makes it difficult for pedestrians to get across, so we | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
recognise that something has to be done. We're looking at a whole | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
range of options. Brandon was making his way along this path with | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
friends. He tried to cross to the middle but was hit by a passing car. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
He died instantly. His family say they want this historic bridleway | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
completely closed. I cannot bring Brandon back, I wish I could. He | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
has been robbed of his life. If they do something about it, it will | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
not take the pain away but it will be constructive. But the bridle | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
path is an ancient right of way, which means red tape could hinder | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
any possible closure. The consultation ends in September. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Brandon's family, in the meantime, have launched a petition to close | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
the crossing and, they say, do justice to his memory. He is not | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
going to be remembered as the poor boy who was killed, he will be the | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
boy who inspired to change and made that road saver for other people. - | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
- safer. It was a killing that shocked the | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
country, a planning officer murdered in a televised crime. Well, | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
20 years on, Albert Dryden has said he's sorry. The former Consett | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
steelworker shot Harry Collinson as the council tried to demolish the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
bungalow Dryden had built without permission. But some are suggesting | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
his remorse isn't genuine and he's more concerned with an upcoming | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
:07:04. | :07:04. | ||
parole hearing. Damian O'Neil reports. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
The murder is well enough known. When the council arrived to | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
demolish his bungalow, Dryden killed him and wounded two others. | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
Now he says he is deeply sorry. With a parole hearing due, some | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
people are sceptical about -- sceptical about the timing and his | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
sincerity. He needs to be assessed by a psychiatrist. It needs to be | :07:36. | :07:46. | |
:07:46. | :07:49. | ||
totally sincere and profound. At the end, he expresses that he is | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
sorry. That is not good enough. think he does not mean a word of it. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
He has never expressed any remorse in 20 years. He never said he was | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
sorry for what he did. He has shot at people before. He shot and | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
killed my brother. All we dried in knows whether he | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
:08:24. | :08:32. | ||
was -- only the man himself knows whether he was sorry. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
A Teesside mother has paid tribute to her son who died after being hit | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
by a car. James Dylan Robinson was knocked down in the Portrack area | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
of Stockton on Friday evening. He'd been to an ice-cream van moments | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
beforehand. Dylan's mother described him as a loving little | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
boy, her soul mate and her strength. Hundreds of people gathered in | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Carlisle this lunchtime, to celebrate the life of a Carlisle | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
teenager who died while on holiday in Bulgaria. Tom McNeill, who was | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
17, is believed to have fallen from a balcony while he was sunbathing. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
He was a pupil at the Richard Rose Central Academy, where students | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
have been signing a book of condolence. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
And plans are being made to bring home a former Northumbria | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
University student, who shot dead the polar bear which attacked and | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
killed another student in Norway. 29-year-old Michael Reid, who now | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
lives in Southampton, was president of the students' union at | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Northumbria University between 2005 and 2007. He was one of the leaders | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
of the British Schools expedition group, attacked in their campsite | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
on a Norwegian glacier last week. A Tyneside care home for disabled | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
people is at the centre of an investigation into alleged bullying | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
and mistreatment of residents. Several incidents have been | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
reported to Gateshead Council's Adult Care Services. And now all | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
staff and family members of the privately-run home are being | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
:09:52. | :09:53. | ||
interviewed as part of the inquiry. Sharuna Sagar has more details. It | :09:53. | :10:02. | |
is a ref age -- a refuge for the physically and mentally disabled. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Allegations of malpractice have put the staff under scrutiny. An | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
investigation was launched after family members approach social | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
services were claims of bullying and abuse. In one case, a man with | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
dementia was made to face the wall for several lagers after watching | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
television without permission. -- for several hours. Four Seasons | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Health care, which runs the home, won't comment on those claims but | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
they did say, "At this time, the allegations have not been | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
substantiated or refuted. The safety and wellbeing of our | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
residents is priority and we take any allegation of inappropriate | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
conduct most seriously." This is not the first time complaints have | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
been made. In 2008 an inspection rated standards of care as poor but | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
in 2009 things had improved and it was rated as good. Gateshead | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Council say they are carrying out a full, comprehensive enquiry and | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
hope to conclude it quickly. You're watching Look North. A look | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
back at the first weekend of the new football league season coming | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
up, plus the results of July's weather competition, and: Run | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Geordie Run. The North East man just hours away from a record | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
breaking run across America. And in the forecast, a fine day | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
:11:34. | :11:35. | ||
tomorrow, but all the wet weather is coming back. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Now, their very location makes them difficult to police, so maybe it's | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
not surprising thefts from farms have risen sharply. Figures from | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
the industry's main insurer show That, in the North East and | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Yorkshire, rural crime is up 12% with more than �9 million worth of | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
thefts in the last two years. In Cumbria and the North West, it's up | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
a staggering 73%, with more than �2.5 million of property stolen. | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
Alison Freeman sent us this report from one Cumbrian farm. Rustling is | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
the kind of crime you would expect to see in an old Western. Sadly, it | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
is on the rise. Just last week, Andrew lost sheep a valued at | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
around �8,000 from his farm. All of our money is in the field. It is | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
scattered everywhere. We trust everybody, really, the farmers. We | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
do not see it all every day. believes his she will be sold on | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
for meet at a fraction of the price they were worth to him as breeding | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
stock. If you are buying meat, you need to know where it has come from. | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Always look for the farm assurance mark and make sure that the product | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
you are buying is reliable. Agricultural crime has risen | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
nationally by around 17% between 2009 and 2010. In Cumbria, that | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
figure has almost doubled since 2008, with the number of reported | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
:13:14. | :13:14. | ||
crimes each year rising from 142- 264. That has cost the industry in | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
the north-west around �2.6 million. Thefts of Cumbrian farms are | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
surpassed only by thefts of quad bikes. A lot of people in rural | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
communities have a trusting nature. Their working environment means | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
that, quite often, they are very inclined to leave the key in the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
ignition. The advice is to take whatever measures you can. There | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
are lots of things you can do at a low cost. The difficulty is that it | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
is impossible to keep sheep and cattle under lock and key so they | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
have to rely on the honesty of others. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
A Scarborough guest house owner has been jailed for spying and | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
recording couples in their rooms. Paul Williams, who runs the Sandsea | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
guest house in Devonshire Drive, was sentenced to 18 weeks after | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
admitting two charges under the Sexual Offences Act. Scarborough | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Magistrates said the offences were so serious that "only a custodial | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
sentence can be justified". A church in North Yorkshire has had | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
to suspend services for the first time in more than a thousand years | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
because of bats' droppings. Members of St Hilda's Church at Ellerburn, | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
near Pickering, have spent �10,000 trying to encourage the bats into | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
specially-built alternative homes - but without success. They say St | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
Hilda's may have to close for good unless permission is given to | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
:14:54. | :14:55. | ||
remove the bats from inside the church. | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
It's an incredible achievement. And he's almost done it. Mark Allison, | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
from County Durham is on the last of a hundred days running across | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
the USA from California to New York. That's more than three thousand | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
miles. He expects to finish about five o'clock in the morning our | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
time. And it's all to raise money for two charities in the north, and | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
in memory of his mother. Keith Akehurst reports. Mark described | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
himself as an obese Geordie who loved football and bacon pies. On | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
the first of May, he set out from California, just south of Los | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
Angeles. He has run through the deserts of Nevard and through the | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
Rocky Mountains. He has run through snow and temperatures up to 115 | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
degrees Fahrenheit. I am relieved that it is almost at an end and the | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
:15:58. | :15:59. | ||
finish line is in sight. Mark's body is feeling the toll of running | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
more than a marathon every day for a hundred days but he's still found | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
time to keep followers updated via the internet. It is extremely | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
painful. Feet Mark used his life savings to pay for the trip, so | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
that every penny he raises goes to the charities. So far the total's | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
over �56,000. The hospice paid for my mutt -- cared for my mother and | :16:22. | :16:30. | |
gave her a dignified end to her life. It is a wonderful charity. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
The Children's Foundation provides a great service for children across | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
:16:46. | :16:46. | ||
the region as well. He has lost quite a bit of weight. | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Mark used a personal trainer to prepare him. He expects to make the | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
Atlantic ocean before midnight New York time. I have not seen a bath | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
for hundreds of days. I have not seen a shower for three days, I | :16:58. | :17:07. | |
:17:08. | :17:08. | ||
think. What a fantastic achievement! | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
Fingers crossed, I hope he think -- I hope he finishes it on time. | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:26. | ||
There are easier ways to lose weight! Now - with the Premier | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
League season just under five days away - our two clubs are both close | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
to signing wingers. Derry City's James McClean has been having a | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
medical at Sunderland, while Manchester United's rather better | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
known Gabriel Obertan is expected to complete his move to St James's | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Park later this evening, following his medical. Obertan will be glad | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
to have missed Newcastle's home friendly on Saturday against | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Fiorentina, which had to be abandoned after an hour because of | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
torrential rain with the score goalless. Our three Football League | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
clubs are already up and running, although none could manage an | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
opening day win, with Middlesbrough and Hartlepool both conceding | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
injury time equalisers. The good news for Boro is that midfielder | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Julio Arca, who's now a free agent, may be ready to sign a new deal at | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
the club after all, and they're still taking to Belgium | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
international midfielder Haris Faroun. | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
With Middlesbrough fans getting used to watching players depart, it | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
seemed appropriate that Portsmouth were the opening day would -- | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
visitors. They are another club where finances had been an issue. | :18:25. | :18:35. | |
:18:35. | :18:41. | ||
The Middlesbrough fans were singing in the rain. An old failing | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
returned to haunt Tony Mowbray's men, though, when a combination of | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
bad luck and poor concentration allowed this injury time equaliser. | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
It is something for us to work on. The we are disappointed that we did | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
not take Bronislaw Komorowski points. We have tough fixtures | :19:02. | :19:11. | |
ahead. There is a tough game in the Carling Cup away from home midweek. | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
:19:21. | :19:21. | ||
-- al three points. Another team still bemoaning a late goal are | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
Hartlepool United, who entertain Sheffield United in the Carling Cup | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
tomorrow. Twice they took the lead at MK Dons - first through Adam | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Boyd's header. Luke Chadwick equalised for the home side. But | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Pools looked to have won it four minutes from time. Summer signings | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Nathan Luscombe and James Poole combining to make it 2-1. There was | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
a hint of offside about the MK Dons injury time equaliser but Mick | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
Wadsworth was pleased with the performance. Meanwhile Carlisle | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
failed to show up against Notts County - metaphorically at least. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
The club got the wished for 6,000 crowd at Brunton Park but newly- | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
promoted Notts County went in front albeit controversially. Veteran | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
striker Lee Hughes, who'd appeared to barge over Peter Murphy crossed | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
for his namesake Jeff Hughes to grab the first, a Francois Zoko own | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
goal doubled the lead and Hughes completed the scoring. A Carlisle | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
performance branded the worst in his time at the club by manager | :20:02. | :20:09. | |

Well last season they were battling relegation but the Newcastle | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Falcons have got their new campaign off to a flying start after winning | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
the Premiership 7's series. In a repeat of the previous final, | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Newcastle were up against Saracen's at the Stoop, and last year's | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
winners looked liked doing the double as they went into the break | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
firmly in control. But spurred on by player of the tournament Luke | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
Fielden, the Falcons fought back. After Fielden got them to within 3 | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
points of the holders, Alex Tait went over the line to score the | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
decisive try. Newcastle went on to win by 31 points to 21 to claim the | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
first major prize of the season. Durham's hopes of winning all three | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
domestic cricket trophies came to an end on the south coast yesterday. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
This was only the second time in the eight-year history that they | :20:57. | :21:07. | |
had not got through the initial stages. Hampshire made at 154 off | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
:21:17. | :21:26. | ||
of their 20 or worse. -- overs. In athletics, Chris Tomlinson | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
remains one of our big hopes for next year's Olympic Games. He | :21:31. | :21:40. | |
produced another big leap of 8.30 metres. It was five centimetres | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
short of his records. It was great to jump that length. I am showing | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
some consistency in that range. I still think the big jump will be | :21:53. | :22:02. | |
8.5 metres. It is something I will be working on in the next few weeks. | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Finally, a sailor from Sunderland is in the first group of athletes | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
to be named in the Great Britain team for either the Olympic or | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Paralympic Games at London 2012. John Robertson is a member of the | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
3-strong Sonar crew hopeful of winning a medal at Weymouth next | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
summer. Now, before the forecast, Trai's going to give us the winner | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
of July's weather picture. The Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue Team | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
can be called out in any weather - they've seen it all. So they are | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
:22:35. | :22:35. | ||
perfect judges for our July Weather Picture Competition. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
There is a team of volunteers covering the area, seeking to act | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
as a safety net for people who get into trouble on the fells in places | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
that are not acceptable by the traditional emergency services. It | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
can be people getting lost or heart. In winter, we go to the assistance | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
of ambulances who cannot -- that cannot get to the more remote farm | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
locations. There are people in the community who go for a walk and | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
cannot find their way back. It is those people whom we assist. What | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
would you top tip before people going walking? It would be to be | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
prepared for a change in the weather. | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
Our photographers have been out in all weathers. It looks very | :23:27. | :23:37. | |
:23:37. | :23:45. | ||
professionally composed for an I like the one from St Mary's. | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
Photography is art. It has its own place. This shows a real love of | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
the countryside. It has been taken at a very good moment by someone | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
who obviously goes out and takes a lot of pictures. For me, that would | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
be the winner. It is a great picture taken by someone who | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
obviously loves walking. Congratulations to Joan, our winner | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
:24:25. | :24:26. | ||
of this month. Thanks to the guys as well. They do a great job out on | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
:24:36. | :24:43. | ||
the fells, as well as in their role as judges. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
This was Gosforth High Street on Saturday, where there were | :24:46. | :24:56. | |
:24:56. | :24:56. | ||
torrential downpours. Very volatile conditions over the weekend. You | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
:25:06. | :25:08. | ||
would not want to have been there! The place that collected the most | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
:25:18. | :25:40. | ||
Rain is not dangerous in single drops but is very dangerous when it | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
comes in large amounts. The weather is going to turn very wet and windy | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
:25:54. | :25:56. | ||
once again this week. Here is the picture this evening. Showers are | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:12. | ||
melting away into the North Sea, leaving a dry night tonight. Those | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
:26:22. | :26:40. | ||
clear skies over night Boardwell for tomorrow. -- bode well. From | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
Wednesday, things start to go really downhill. The rain will be | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
persistent and heavy throughout Wednesday. The fronts will continue | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
to move through on Thursday. It will be very unsettled, wet and | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
:27:04. | :27:07. | ||
windy by the end of the week. For great! | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
The main news again. More violence has broken out on the streets of | :27:12. | :27:19. |
