:00:08. > :00:14.Welcomed to look north. Tonight: Decision day. The scramble for

:00:14. > :00:17.places begins, as thousands of students receive A-level results.

:00:17. > :00:22.The search continues at a farm where a brother and sister went

:00:22. > :00:25.missing. We have the latest. Praise for Cumbria's doctors and

:00:26. > :00:29.nurses from the Prime Minister but unions say they are struggling to

:00:29. > :00:32.cope. And the vandals who went on a

:00:32. > :00:36.shooting spree in a Gateshead Community.

:00:36. > :00:40.We meet some of the new faces at the Newcastle Falcons, and the

:00:40. > :00:50.Magpies insist that their goalkeeper Steve Harper still has a

:00:50. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :00:57.future at the club as the Wear Tyne It's the day the region's A Level

:00:57. > :01:01.students have been waiting for. But for some, the anxiety is far from

:01:01. > :01:03.over. Those who failed to get the grades they wanted face a scramble

:01:04. > :01:07.for the remaining places at our universities. Vacancies are

:01:07. > :01:11.disappearing fast as students try and avoid next year's hike in

:01:11. > :01:15.tuition fees. Some are having to rewrite their plans completely. Our

:01:15. > :01:24.Political Editor Richard Moss reports on a day of delight and

:01:24. > :01:28.despair. It was a long night with little

:01:28. > :01:34.sleep for many students. Doors opened at 8:30am at Whickham School

:01:34. > :01:40.in Gateshead, but will the pupils get the news they wanted? I needed

:01:40. > :01:48.a B and two C's, and I have got them. I am over the moon. Walking

:01:48. > :01:54.on Sunshine. I needed three A's to get to Glasgow, so I am there and I

:01:54. > :01:59.am really pleased. Two A's and Kobi, so I am off to study medicine at

:01:59. > :02:02.Aberdeen, which I am over the moon about. Happy days. Results were not

:02:02. > :02:08.significantly but for the staff, the priority was to help those who

:02:08. > :02:11.did not get what they wanted. are spending a lot of time,

:02:12. > :02:16.supporting students, ringing admissions tutors, making sure they

:02:16. > :02:20.have computers available to get on to the clearing website, if it is

:02:20. > :02:27.working, to make sure we can get students on to a university, even

:02:27. > :02:30.if it is not their first choice. There were certainly lots of

:02:30. > :02:34.worried students calling hotlines like this one at Northumbria

:02:34. > :02:37.University, scrambling to snap up any available places. The phones

:02:37. > :02:41.have been frantic here since first thing this morning with students

:02:41. > :02:44.trying to find out if they can get a place. Elsewhere, some local

:02:44. > :02:48.students have come in and they are queuing up the stairs to find out

:02:48. > :02:52.how the land lies. The advice is to get in quick because many vacancies

:02:52. > :02:57.will be filled by this evening and all of them by some time tomorrow

:02:57. > :03:01.afternoon. In some cases, we can do something with people who have

:03:01. > :03:04.missed by one or two grades, but in areas where we have too many

:03:04. > :03:11.applications it will not be possible. For one aspiring

:03:11. > :03:16.architects to student, an agonising wait. I did not get exactly what I

:03:16. > :03:20.wanted, just missed out by one grade. So I am trying to see if

:03:20. > :03:24.they were let me in any way. They have said they will decide this

:03:24. > :03:27.afternoon. I will wait and see. There may be alternatives. Colleges

:03:27. > :03:31.like Gateshead say they can offer degrees and other options for

:03:31. > :03:35.students struggling to find a university place. We have a

:03:35. > :03:38.fantastic team of people who can work with students to determine

:03:38. > :03:42.what is best for them. I am sure there is something we can offer

:03:42. > :03:46.them, whether it be an apprenticeship, a high-level

:03:46. > :03:50.programme, something which can eventually lead them back to their

:03:50. > :03:55.chosen path. And Laura has decided to stay local and remain at the

:03:55. > :03:58.college after A-levels. I had the option to go somewhere else, but I

:03:58. > :04:03.know all the teachers here and they are great teachers and I enjoy my

:04:03. > :04:11.time here. Some students can now plan for the future, but for others

:04:11. > :04:16.the worry is far from over. Richard is with me in the studio.

:04:16. > :04:21.What is the situation tonight? Are there many places left? Ever-

:04:21. > :04:27.diminishing number. Newcastle and York said they have no places left.

:04:27. > :04:33.Sunderland say they have limited places. Teessiders say there are a

:04:33. > :04:37.handful of vacancies. Cumbria say it is waiting list only. They had

:04:37. > :04:42.500 calls on their line by 3pm last year, 1000 by the same time this

:04:42. > :04:45.year. If you have not got a place, hope may be beginning to dwindle.

:04:45. > :04:49.Students face a tough choice, whether to abandon their plans are

:04:49. > :04:53.going to the job market, which is not easy, look at further education

:04:53. > :04:58.colleges, like Gateshead, or do they face up to maybe resitting

:04:59. > :05:03.exams and facing a hike in tuition fees? The universities are saying,

:05:03. > :05:06.take your time. There will be bursaries available next year. Do

:05:06. > :05:10.not rush into a decision. Some students will be able to celebrate

:05:10. > :05:14.tonight, but for those that did not do so well, many of the doors that

:05:15. > :05:20.would have been open in previous years are now closing. Go to the

:05:20. > :05:23.clearing site and back to the phones tomorrow. Tough decisions.

:05:24. > :05:27.Police searching for a missing brother and sister hope to identify

:05:27. > :05:37.a body found in woods this evening. 27-year-old Danuta Domagalska went

:05:37. > :05:38.

:05:38. > :05:41.missing 12 days ago from the farm where she works near Darlington.

:05:41. > :05:47.Police wanted to talk to her brother but he vanished. Yesterday,

:05:47. > :05:51.found the man's body hanging in woods near New Moor Farm.

:05:51. > :05:56.Really, there are two parts to this. First, there is the missing woman,

:05:56. > :06:00.and then there is her missing brother. There are almost two

:06:00. > :06:04.search sites as well. There is the farm opposite, which is where they

:06:04. > :06:08.lived, and then there is this area. Through there is the woodland where

:06:08. > :06:14.the body was found yesterday. Police hope to confirm tonight if

:06:14. > :06:19.they can whether or not that body was indeed the missing brother,

:06:19. > :06:27.Pyotr Luff Rezek. While that is going on, the search for his sister,

:06:27. > :06:32.Danuta, continues. As you will see, that is a grim task for the police.

:06:32. > :06:38.There is a group in this field, how for tango. Inch by inch, they will

:06:38. > :06:42.search the farm Fordham looter. This is a filthy and dangerous task.

:06:42. > :06:47.This is one of the slurry pits they will come to next. The job will be

:06:47. > :06:52.to pump out this area. This is a dangerous area with toxic gas,

:06:52. > :06:57.methane. They will have to use harnesses to protect officers when

:06:57. > :07:02.they going to start pumping it out. Danuta Domagalska has been missing

:07:02. > :07:05.for 12 days. Back in Poland, her family awaits news. Yesterday they

:07:05. > :07:10.were told that police looking for her brother had found a body.

:07:10. > :07:15.Officers had wanted to talk to him, believing he had vital information.

:07:15. > :07:20.He had lived with Danuta and her husband, Martine, in a cottage on

:07:20. > :07:23.New Moor Farm. Police are treating the husband as a witness. The case

:07:23. > :07:32.of the missing brother and sister has touched the region's Polish

:07:32. > :07:36.community. It was a huge shock for me so it will be a shock for the

:07:36. > :07:42.families. It was shocking because when we came here we thought, OK,

:07:42. > :07:48.we can help to find them, the missing people. Not about finding

:07:48. > :07:55.dead bodies. So it is shocking. police say the chances of finding

:07:55. > :08:01.Danuta alive are slim. The grim search goes on.

:08:01. > :08:05.There is a third person involved, remember, Danuta's husband, my team.

:08:05. > :08:11.We are told there is a member of his family on the way across to

:08:11. > :08:15.this country to help to comfort him. They are from a place south-west of

:08:15. > :08:18.Warsaw. Clearly an agonising time for the family in Poland and they

:08:18. > :08:22.will be hoping, even if it is simply putting them out of their

:08:23. > :08:27.misery, they will hope to find out tonight whether or not the body in

:08:27. > :08:36.the Woods was the brother. Hopefully we will have more on that

:08:36. > :08:40.later this evening. The Prime Minister has praised the

:08:40. > :08:43.NHS in Cumbria during a visit to Carlisle. Many of the Government's

:08:43. > :08:47.health policy changes - including handing budgets directly to GPs -

:08:47. > :08:52.were trialled in Cumbria. But unions say the local health service

:08:52. > :09:01.is struggling to cope with chronic staff shortages and low morale. Our

:09:01. > :09:06.Political Correspondent Mark Denten reports. A Prime Minister in the

:09:06. > :09:09.kitchen, but David Cameron was not here to help to wash up, but to see

:09:09. > :09:14.changes to the health service. This woman has a lung disease and its

:09:14. > :09:18.regular check-ups at home in Carlisle. The Prime Minister also

:09:18. > :09:24.visited a Healthwatch project, designed to give patients more say.

:09:24. > :09:28.Cumbria has piloted a scheme giving GPs control of 70% of budgets.

:09:28. > :09:32.have learned that commissioning by clinicians, by GPs, can work on

:09:32. > :09:36.behalf of patients and cut down the bureaucracy we have seen in the

:09:36. > :09:41.past and have more money going into healthcare and less on to managers

:09:41. > :09:45.and paperwork and bureaucracy. it was not just about new health

:09:45. > :09:49.initiatives. The Prime Minister also praised this place, the

:09:49. > :09:53.Cumberland Infirmary. Speaking on Radio Cumbria, he called it a

:09:53. > :09:58.classic example of a good district general hospital. The trouble is

:09:58. > :10:02.that the trust that runs it needs to save �15 million this year.

:10:02. > :10:08.Others are also looking to run services here. And health unions

:10:08. > :10:11.say that means morale inside there is at an all-time low. They are

:10:11. > :10:15.struggling to have human and physical resources to deliver the

:10:15. > :10:19.care that they need. I am aware that, on a regular basis, they have

:10:19. > :10:26.not got enough nurses to cover shifts. They are relying on people

:10:26. > :10:30.who work in an ad hoc way, maybe regularly, to try to cover shifts.

:10:30. > :10:34.We are putting more money into the NHS and more money into the NHS

:10:34. > :10:39.income Priya, specifically with the West Cumberland Hospital. We are

:10:39. > :10:42.putting and �90 million to make sure it has new facilities. North

:10:42. > :10:50.Cumbria NHS Trust say their services are safely staffed and

:10:50. > :10:54.nursing levels are monitored on a daily basis.

:10:54. > :10:57.Police are looking for a gang of vandals who drove around shooting

:10:58. > :11:06.windows out of cars last night. It happened in Gateshead, with as many

:11:06. > :11:12.as 20 cars damaged in two streets. Some of it was caught on CCTV.

:11:12. > :11:18.Cruising along the street at 3:30am, shooting out windows with an airgun.

:11:18. > :11:24.And every damaged car has a story. This one, a cancelled day trip for

:11:24. > :11:28.the kids. And this one, this car which was supplied under Burke

:11:28. > :11:34.mobility scheme to a woman with cerebral palsy. Until this is

:11:34. > :11:38.repaired, she is stuck in the house. And this one belongs to a junior

:11:38. > :11:45.doctor who has not been able to get to work today. And until we hold --

:11:45. > :11:51.told her, she did not know it was somebody with a gun. Was it? Oh,

:11:51. > :12:01.this might be the man who is coming to fix it. Hello. That is great.

:12:01. > :12:01.

:12:01. > :12:07.Are you coming? That is grand. I will be here. See you in a bit. I

:12:07. > :12:12.am sorry. Are you going to work tomorrow? Yes, I will get in

:12:12. > :12:22.tomorrow. What has it meant to you today? Stuck in the house.

:12:22. > :12:24.

:12:24. > :12:28.Obviously, inconvenient. And �50 out of pocket. The police say

:12:28. > :12:35.anyone who can help to find who did this should contact them as soon as

:12:35. > :12:38.possible. A popular Lake District tourist

:12:39. > :12:42.attraction is facing closure after magistrates found it had been

:12:42. > :12:47.operating illegally. The deviation root of the Via Ferrata at the

:12:47. > :12:51.Honister slate mine, which features a 120 ft zip wire, was installed

:12:51. > :12:58.without proper permission. The owners admitted the root damage

:12:58. > :13:03.vegetation and they must now pay nearly �30,000 in fines and costs.

:13:03. > :13:07.This is the classic Via Ferrata at Honister, which is unaffected by

:13:07. > :13:10.today's court case at Workington magistrates. But an offshoot with a

:13:10. > :13:14.zip wire further up will close in November after Natural England

:13:14. > :13:20.brought a case against the owners saying it is operating illegally.

:13:20. > :13:25.The firm must now pay fines and costs. Natural England have a

:13:25. > :13:27.statutory responsibility to look after sites of special scientific

:13:27. > :13:31.interest, in other words to ensure people comply with the law when

:13:31. > :13:38.they use them. It is very disappointing when Natural England

:13:38. > :13:41.do have to resort to legal recourse. We try to protect the environment.

:13:41. > :13:46.In passing sentence, the chairman of the bench said they accepted

:13:46. > :13:49.there was no intention to destroy vegetation, but the construction of

:13:49. > :13:54.the Via Ferrata deviation was deliberate and was gone for

:13:54. > :13:58.financial gain. The deviation group was put in by former owner Mark

:13:58. > :14:01.Weir, who died in a helicopter crash in March. Today, his long-

:14:01. > :14:06.term partner said it was an attempt to bring adventure and excitement

:14:06. > :14:11.to the Lake District. We have to listen to the magistrates, go

:14:11. > :14:18.forward and find a compromise that all bodies are happy with, to

:14:18. > :14:20.retain the jaw in our crown. I will endeavour to do that. -- the Jule

:14:20. > :14:25.in our crown. Plenty more to come:

:14:25. > :14:29.We hear from a soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder

:14:29. > :14:34.at just 19 years old. We meet the volunteers helping to

:14:34. > :14:37.build a future for a young Mexican family.

:14:37. > :14:40.Heavy rain fall on the radar has already caused flooding today in

:14:40. > :14:50.the south-west and it is now splashing to our region. I will

:14:50. > :14:53.give you the details in the weather forecast.

:14:53. > :14:57.Post traumatic stress disorder. These days we know far more about

:14:57. > :15:00.it then we used to, but it seems a lot of former military personnel

:15:00. > :15:04.are suffering in silence. In a region that recruits many

:15:04. > :15:09.servicemen and women, that is worrying. Now, a local organisation

:15:09. > :15:14.says there has been a sharp rise in demand for its help.

:15:14. > :15:18.To find yourself talking to an ex soldier and combat veteran is all

:15:18. > :15:24.the more sobering when he tells you he is still only 19 and was

:15:24. > :15:28.fighting the Taliban at barely 18. They do not want you to think that

:15:28. > :15:34.you have got post-traumatic stress disorder. They just want your mind

:15:34. > :15:38.focused on fighting. Jordan's first tour of Afghanistan was his last.

:15:38. > :15:42.He only escaped with his own life because the land mine he stood on

:15:42. > :15:46.did not explode. He was discharged and then diagnosed with post-

:15:46. > :15:51.traumatic stress disorder. Now he is being held by someone who went

:15:51. > :15:55.through it a generation earlier. Gary Cameron set up a company

:15:55. > :15:59.called military mentor health. For Jordan, just getting this far is an

:15:59. > :16:03.achievement. Because they cover their problems, do not talk to

:16:03. > :16:08.people, do not come forward, do not have a point of contact, I am that

:16:08. > :16:13.point of contact in the north-east. I served in the forces for nine

:16:13. > :16:17.years. I came out with a few problems. I have worn the T-shirt.

:16:17. > :16:21.The company is fronted by a number of bodies fire the Business Link

:16:21. > :16:26.organisation. Here, his briefing them, NHS trusts, local authorities

:16:26. > :16:30.and charities that offer help. There is no shortage of demand. An

:16:30. > :16:36.MoD report estimated that one in five service or ex service

:16:36. > :16:39.personnel deployed since 2003 will have some degree of post traumatic

:16:39. > :16:43.stress. Veterans like this, especially single males, show

:16:43. > :16:46.higher levels of drug and alcohol abuse, are more susceptible to

:16:46. > :16:52.depression, more likely to be in trouble with the law, and more

:16:52. > :16:56.likely to shut themselves away and not seek help. Jordan is one of

:16:56. > :17:01.nearly 200,000 military veterans in the north-east. His life, he says,

:17:01. > :17:05.is back on track. There are people you can turn to and talk to. You

:17:05. > :17:10.should not be ashamed to talk to people. Five months ago I was

:17:10. > :17:18.always down and did not want to do anything, talk to anybody. Now, I

:17:18. > :17:22.am on my feet, doing what I want to Thousands of teenagers in the

:17:22. > :17:26.region are taking it easy after the stress of exams. But a group of

:17:26. > :17:30.young people from Northumberland and Tyne side have chosen to have a

:17:30. > :17:34.more strenuous summer. They volunteered to build a house for a

:17:34. > :17:44.young family in Mexico in one of the country's more deprived

:17:44. > :17:49.neighbourhoods. Ensenada, north-west Mexico, just

:17:49. > :17:53.90 minutes on the border with the USA. Colourful and friendly, this

:17:53. > :17:56.port city is one of the country's most affluent. But a short drive to

:17:56. > :18:02.the outskirts reveals a different type of neighbourhood, the type

:18:02. > :18:07.that the north-east teenagers have only ever seen on TV screens.

:18:07. > :18:14.really derelict. There are open sewers everywhere. It is just not

:18:14. > :18:20.so nice. I am a bit moved by it. All built on top of each other. It

:18:20. > :18:24.is a bit scary. Barbed-wire fences. You don't really imagine kids

:18:24. > :18:28.growing up here. They are here to build a house for a young family

:18:28. > :18:31.and have been training for the experience for the last year with a

:18:31. > :18:35.Tyneside based company. It is through a housing project run by

:18:36. > :18:40.the Christian charity Youth With A Mission, and their skills are

:18:40. > :18:45.finally being put to use. problem in Mexico is that you build

:18:45. > :18:49.a house as you get money. You have to have a really good job to get a

:18:49. > :18:56.loan. It is so hard. That is why many houses are unfinished. It

:18:56. > :19:01.gives them the ability to start. This time it is a 22-year-old who

:19:01. > :19:10.will benefit. He and his wife had spent the first four years of their

:19:10. > :19:20.marriage living with his parents in cramped conditions. Me, my wife,

:19:20. > :19:21.

:19:21. > :19:27.Stephanie, and my granddaughter. Six people.

:19:27. > :19:31.They have three rooms for six people. At home, we have 10 to 12

:19:31. > :19:34.rooms for five of us. It is amazing how they survive and we always

:19:34. > :19:39.complain that we do not have enough room, do not have enough things.

:19:40. > :19:46.Actually, we have so much more than everyone here. I will now be much

:19:46. > :19:50.more grateful for what I have. is a big step for the young couple.

:19:50. > :19:54.Both of them work six days a week but still found themselves in debt

:19:54. > :20:02.after funding the medical costs for their baby son, who tragically died

:20:02. > :20:07.from a heart defect. It is a new home and a new start.

:20:07. > :20:11.TRANSLATION: We had a son and our son died. I think that is why this

:20:11. > :20:15.is so important for us. It is going to give us hope and it is so good

:20:15. > :20:19.to know that we will have our own place and our daughter can grave in

:20:19. > :20:24.this new house. There is a huge sense of achievement because after

:20:24. > :20:27.16 hours of hard work, in temperatures of up to 34 degrees,

:20:27. > :20:31.the team are very nearly at the end of the building. Just a few

:20:31. > :20:38.finishing touches left and very soon the family who this has been

:20:38. > :20:42.in aid of will get the keys to their new home. That has to be one

:20:42. > :20:46.of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my life and I will

:20:46. > :20:51.remember it all ways. The young people may have helped this family

:20:51. > :21:00.with their new home, but in turn the family have left them with an

:21:01. > :21:04.experience they will remember for a lifetime.

:21:04. > :21:07.Fantastic work! Time for the sport, and we are just

:21:07. > :21:11.one week into the Premier League season but we have a Derby already.

:21:11. > :21:16.Yes, there is still a slim chance we might get some movement in the

:21:16. > :21:20.transfer market before then, too. Yes, we are less than 48 hours from

:21:20. > :21:23.the start of the Wear Tyne derby and Alan Pardew has said that Steve

:21:23. > :21:27.Harper is still very much in his plans, despite the club being

:21:27. > :21:35.linked with Charlton keeper Rob Elliott. He will be on the bench

:21:35. > :21:39.for the Magpies on Saturday, and Alan Pardew had hoped to have a

:21:39. > :21:43.replacement for Jose Enrique at left-back before the trip, but

:21:43. > :21:53.Brian Taylor looks certain to deputise. The big match comes just

:21:53. > :21:57.one week into the season. It is a big fixture in the calendar.

:21:57. > :22:01.The team is not fixed. No Premiership side is going to be

:22:01. > :22:06.nailed down, with the exception of the teams in the Europa Cup. It is

:22:06. > :22:12.a case of finding out what we are, and what qualities we have this

:22:12. > :22:16.year which are different to last year. We had some debuts last week

:22:16. > :22:21.which were encouraging and one or two players will have understood

:22:21. > :22:29.that the Premiership is a level up from any division. They will adjust

:22:29. > :22:34.to that. I cannot remember being involved with a club and your first

:22:34. > :22:37.game is the local derby. But it is upon us. If I am honest, I would

:22:37. > :22:41.have liked it in four months, because it is something everybody

:22:41. > :22:49.looks forward to. It is very early. Can we produce a performance like

:22:49. > :22:52.the second half at Anfield? If we do, we will be OK. We will hear

:22:52. > :22:57.from Sunderland and Newcastle on tomorrow's look north in our

:22:57. > :23:00.special preview of the Derby. Belgian international Ferris Haroun

:23:00. > :23:03.has completed his move to Middlesbrough today after a

:23:03. > :23:09.successful trial. He joins on a three-year deal and he could make

:23:09. > :23:13.his debut against Birmingham on Sunday.

:23:13. > :23:17.Not one new face, but 14 for Newcastle Falcons, who are taking

:23:17. > :23:21.on Leeds in their only home a pre- season friendly tomorrow. With so

:23:22. > :23:27.many new players, we thought we would introduce some of them.

:23:27. > :23:34.Ashley Wells, ran short Lunt, Richard Mayhew. While some are

:23:34. > :23:39.clearly uncomfortable in front of camera, not a part-time model. But

:23:39. > :23:44.how did he get such an exotic name. My mother decided that my father

:23:44. > :23:49.could name me. I am not 100% sure where the name comes from, I think

:23:49. > :23:54.it is Spanish or something. He is half Spanish, half Swedish, and my

:23:54. > :23:59.step dad is Italian. With a name like that, up here it is inevitable

:23:59. > :24:09.you are going to be called Geordie. Yes, it has already happened and I

:24:09. > :24:12.

:24:12. > :24:21.am sure it will not stop. Three team-mates are reunited. We first

:24:21. > :24:27.met at a high-school. He was captain and I was vice captain. We

:24:27. > :24:30.have been friends ever since then. We moved apart, and he moved to the

:24:30. > :24:34.other side of the world and I followed him and we are back to do

:24:34. > :24:37.battle again. It will certainly be a battle tomorrow night against

:24:37. > :24:42.Leeds, after the Falcons beat them to Premiership survival on points

:24:42. > :24:46.on the last day of the season. need to prove that we deserve to be

:24:47. > :24:50.here and that the right team went down. And winning breeds of winning.

:24:50. > :24:55.This is an opportunity to get a taste of winning again. The game

:24:55. > :24:59.kicks off at 7:30pm tomorrow. It has been better than we expected

:24:59. > :25:08.today. Just a bit but that is all set to

:25:08. > :25:11.Tonight, heavy showers for the north-east, but much drier in

:25:11. > :25:16.Cumbria. This is the rainfall that caused the flooding you may have

:25:16. > :25:20.heard about in the south-west. That is heading across our region. This

:25:20. > :25:30.is the picture tonight and into the early hours. Very heavy, some of

:25:30. > :25:31.

:25:31. > :25:38.those showers. We are expecting anything up to 30 mm of rain, one

:25:38. > :25:43.inch or more in the north-east. Much clearer in Cumbria. Another

:25:43. > :25:48.chance, in the West, to see the International Space Station. More

:25:48. > :25:52.details later. Showers overnight with the risk of localised flooding.

:25:52. > :25:56.It will be a chilly start to the morning in the West, but milder in

:25:56. > :26:01.the east, and for all of us tomorrow will be a better day.

:26:02. > :26:09.Showers should clear. Lovely spells of sunshine into the afternoon.

:26:09. > :26:14.Through the afternoon, it is fine and dry. As we move west, it has

:26:14. > :26:19.already started to cloud over again. The start of, yes, you guessed it,

:26:19. > :26:22.another weather system coming from the West. Expected to cloud over

:26:22. > :26:32.across the North-East, with showers spilling across from the West

:26:32. > :26:36.

:26:36. > :26:41.tomorrow evening and overnight. The weather is staying very unsettled

:26:41. > :26:46.over the next few days. This is the picture for Saturday and Sunday.

:26:46. > :26:55.Rain or showers at times, so a gloomy forecast for the Wear Tyne

:26:55. > :27:00.derby. We are forecasting gloomy skies. This is the picture last

:27:00. > :27:04.night. It is the International Space Station captured by Stephen

:27:04. > :27:10.Jenkins in County Durham. This is when you can see it tonight over

:27:11. > :27:14.Cumbria. Three minutes past midnight.

:27:14. > :27:17.The headlines: Students are scrambling for

:27:17. > :27:20.university places after A-level results were published today. There

:27:20. > :27:24.has been a rush for clearing places because tuition fees increase next

:27:24. > :27:27.year. A police searching for a missing
