Welcomed to look north. Tonight: Decision day. The scramble for

:00:08.:00:14.

places begins, as thousands of students receive A-level results.

:00:14.:00:17.

The search continues at a farm where a brother and sister went

:00:17.:00:22.

missing. We have the latest. Praise for Cumbria's doctors and

:00:22.:00:25.

nurses from the Prime Minister but unions say they are struggling to

:00:26.:00:29.

cope. And the vandals who went on a

:00:29.:00:32.

shooting spree in a Gateshead Community.

:00:32.:00:36.

We meet some of the new faces at the Newcastle Falcons, and the

:00:36.:00:40.

Magpies insist that their goalkeeper Steve Harper still has a

:00:40.:00:50.
:00:50.:00:53.

future at the club as the Wear Tyne It's the day the region's A Level

:00:53.:00:57.

students have been waiting for. But for some, the anxiety is far from

:00:57.:01:01.

over. Those who failed to get the grades they wanted face a scramble

:01:01.:01:03.

for the remaining places at our universities. Vacancies are

:01:04.:01:07.

disappearing fast as students try and avoid next year's hike in

:01:07.:01:11.

tuition fees. Some are having to rewrite their plans completely. Our

:01:11.:01:15.

Political Editor Richard Moss reports on a day of delight and

:01:15.:01:24.

despair. It was a long night with little

:01:24.:01:28.

sleep for many students. Doors opened at 8:30am at Whickham School

:01:28.:01:34.

in Gateshead, but will the pupils get the news they wanted? I needed

:01:34.:01:40.

a B and two C's, and I have got them. I am over the moon. Walking

:01:40.:01:48.

on Sunshine. I needed three A's to get to Glasgow, so I am there and I

:01:48.:01:54.

am really pleased. Two A's and Kobi, so I am off to study medicine at

:01:54.:01:59.

Aberdeen, which I am over the moon about. Happy days. Results were not

:01:59.:02:02.

significantly but for the staff, the priority was to help those who

:02:02.:02:08.

did not get what they wanted. are spending a lot of time,

:02:08.:02:11.

supporting students, ringing admissions tutors, making sure they

:02:12.:02:16.

have computers available to get on to the clearing website, if it is

:02:16.:02:20.

working, to make sure we can get students on to a university, even

:02:20.:02:27.

if it is not their first choice. There were certainly lots of

:02:27.:02:30.

worried students calling hotlines like this one at Northumbria

:02:30.:02:34.

University, scrambling to snap up any available places. The phones

:02:34.:02:37.

have been frantic here since first thing this morning with students

:02:37.:02:41.

trying to find out if they can get a place. Elsewhere, some local

:02:41.:02:44.

students have come in and they are queuing up the stairs to find out

:02:44.:02:48.

how the land lies. The advice is to get in quick because many vacancies

:02:48.:02:52.

will be filled by this evening and all of them by some time tomorrow

:02:52.:02:57.

afternoon. In some cases, we can do something with people who have

:02:57.:03:01.

missed by one or two grades, but in areas where we have too many

:03:01.:03:04.

applications it will not be possible. For one aspiring

:03:04.:03:11.

architects to student, an agonising wait. I did not get exactly what I

:03:11.:03:16.

wanted, just missed out by one grade. So I am trying to see if

:03:16.:03:20.

they were let me in any way. They have said they will decide this

:03:20.:03:24.

afternoon. I will wait and see. There may be alternatives. Colleges

:03:24.:03:27.

like Gateshead say they can offer degrees and other options for

:03:27.:03:31.

students struggling to find a university place. We have a

:03:31.:03:35.

fantastic team of people who can work with students to determine

:03:35.:03:38.

what is best for them. I am sure there is something we can offer

:03:38.:03:42.

them, whether it be an apprenticeship, a high-level

:03:42.:03:46.

programme, something which can eventually lead them back to their

:03:46.:03:50.

chosen path. And Laura has decided to stay local and remain at the

:03:50.:03:55.

college after A-levels. I had the option to go somewhere else, but I

:03:55.:03:58.

know all the teachers here and they are great teachers and I enjoy my

:03:58.:04:03.

time here. Some students can now plan for the future, but for others

:04:03.:04:11.

the worry is far from over. Richard is with me in the studio.

:04:11.:04:16.

What is the situation tonight? Are there many places left? Ever-

:04:16.:04:21.

diminishing number. Newcastle and York said they have no places left.

:04:21.:04:27.

Sunderland say they have limited places. Teessiders say there are a

:04:27.:04:33.

handful of vacancies. Cumbria say it is waiting list only. They had

:04:33.:04:37.

500 calls on their line by 3pm last year, 1000 by the same time this

:04:37.:04:42.

year. If you have not got a place, hope may be beginning to dwindle.

:04:42.:04:45.

Students face a tough choice, whether to abandon their plans are

:04:45.:04:49.

going to the job market, which is not easy, look at further education

:04:49.:04:53.

colleges, like Gateshead, or do they face up to maybe resitting

:04:53.:04:58.

exams and facing a hike in tuition fees? The universities are saying,

:04:59.:05:03.

take your time. There will be bursaries available next year. Do

:05:03.:05:06.

not rush into a decision. Some students will be able to celebrate

:05:06.:05:10.

tonight, but for those that did not do so well, many of the doors that

:05:10.:05:14.

would have been open in previous years are now closing. Go to the

:05:15.:05:20.

clearing site and back to the phones tomorrow. Tough decisions.

:05:20.:05:23.

Police searching for a missing brother and sister hope to identify

:05:24.:05:27.

a body found in woods this evening. 27-year-old Danuta Domagalska went

:05:27.:05:37.
:05:37.:05:38.

missing 12 days ago from the farm where she works near Darlington.

:05:38.:05:41.

Police wanted to talk to her brother but he vanished. Yesterday,

:05:41.:05:47.

found the man's body hanging in woods near New Moor Farm.

:05:47.:05:51.

Really, there are two parts to this. First, there is the missing woman,

:05:51.:05:56.

and then there is her missing brother. There are almost two

:05:56.:06:00.

search sites as well. There is the farm opposite, which is where they

:06:00.:06:04.

lived, and then there is this area. Through there is the woodland where

:06:04.:06:08.

the body was found yesterday. Police hope to confirm tonight if

:06:08.:06:14.

they can whether or not that body was indeed the missing brother,

:06:14.:06:19.

Pyotr Luff Rezek. While that is going on, the search for his sister,

:06:19.:06:27.

Danuta, continues. As you will see, that is a grim task for the police.

:06:27.:06:32.

There is a group in this field, how for tango. Inch by inch, they will

:06:32.:06:38.

search the farm Fordham looter. This is a filthy and dangerous task.

:06:38.:06:42.

This is one of the slurry pits they will come to next. The job will be

:06:42.:06:47.

to pump out this area. This is a dangerous area with toxic gas,

:06:47.:06:52.

methane. They will have to use harnesses to protect officers when

:06:52.:06:57.

they going to start pumping it out. Danuta Domagalska has been missing

:06:57.:07:02.

for 12 days. Back in Poland, her family awaits news. Yesterday they

:07:02.:07:05.

were told that police looking for her brother had found a body.

:07:05.:07:10.

Officers had wanted to talk to him, believing he had vital information.

:07:10.:07:15.

He had lived with Danuta and her husband, Martine, in a cottage on

:07:15.:07:20.

New Moor Farm. Police are treating the husband as a witness. The case

:07:20.:07:23.

of the missing brother and sister has touched the region's Polish

:07:23.:07:32.

community. It was a huge shock for me so it will be a shock for the

:07:32.:07:36.

families. It was shocking because when we came here we thought, OK,

:07:36.:07:42.

we can help to find them, the missing people. Not about finding

:07:42.:07:48.

dead bodies. So it is shocking. police say the chances of finding

:07:48.:07:55.

Danuta alive are slim. The grim search goes on.

:07:55.:08:01.

There is a third person involved, remember, Danuta's husband, my team.

:08:01.:08:05.

We are told there is a member of his family on the way across to

:08:05.:08:11.

this country to help to comfort him. They are from a place south-west of

:08:11.:08:15.

Warsaw. Clearly an agonising time for the family in Poland and they

:08:15.:08:18.

will be hoping, even if it is simply putting them out of their

:08:18.:08:22.

misery, they will hope to find out tonight whether or not the body in

:08:23.:08:27.

the Woods was the brother. Hopefully we will have more on that

:08:27.:08:36.

later this evening. The Prime Minister has praised the

:08:36.:08:40.

NHS in Cumbria during a visit to Carlisle. Many of the Government's

:08:40.:08:43.

health policy changes - including handing budgets directly to GPs -

:08:43.:08:47.

were trialled in Cumbria. But unions say the local health service

:08:47.:08:52.

is struggling to cope with chronic staff shortages and low morale. Our

:08:52.:09:01.

Political Correspondent Mark Denten reports. A Prime Minister in the

:09:01.:09:06.

kitchen, but David Cameron was not here to help to wash up, but to see

:09:06.:09:09.

changes to the health service. This woman has a lung disease and its

:09:09.:09:14.

regular check-ups at home in Carlisle. The Prime Minister also

:09:14.:09:18.

visited a Healthwatch project, designed to give patients more say.

:09:18.:09:24.

Cumbria has piloted a scheme giving GPs control of 70% of budgets.

:09:24.:09:28.

have learned that commissioning by clinicians, by GPs, can work on

:09:28.:09:32.

behalf of patients and cut down the bureaucracy we have seen in the

:09:32.:09:36.

past and have more money going into healthcare and less on to managers

:09:36.:09:41.

and paperwork and bureaucracy. it was not just about new health

:09:41.:09:45.

initiatives. The Prime Minister also praised this place, the

:09:45.:09:49.

Cumberland Infirmary. Speaking on Radio Cumbria, he called it a

:09:49.:09:53.

classic example of a good district general hospital. The trouble is

:09:53.:09:58.

that the trust that runs it needs to save �15 million this year.

:09:58.:10:02.

Others are also looking to run services here. And health unions

:10:02.:10:08.

say that means morale inside there is at an all-time low. They are

:10:08.:10:11.

struggling to have human and physical resources to deliver the

:10:11.:10:15.

care that they need. I am aware that, on a regular basis, they have

:10:15.:10:19.

not got enough nurses to cover shifts. They are relying on people

:10:19.:10:26.

who work in an ad hoc way, maybe regularly, to try to cover shifts.

:10:26.:10:30.

We are putting more money into the NHS and more money into the NHS

:10:30.:10:34.

income Priya, specifically with the West Cumberland Hospital. We are

:10:34.:10:39.

putting and �90 million to make sure it has new facilities. North

:10:39.:10:42.

Cumbria NHS Trust say their services are safely staffed and

:10:42.:10:50.

nursing levels are monitored on a daily basis.

:10:50.:10:54.

Police are looking for a gang of vandals who drove around shooting

:10:54.:10:57.

windows out of cars last night. It happened in Gateshead, with as many

:10:58.:11:06.

as 20 cars damaged in two streets. Some of it was caught on CCTV.

:11:06.:11:12.

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

:11:12.:11:18.

And every damaged car has a story. This one, a cancelled day trip for

:11:18.:11:24.

the kids. And this one, this car which was supplied under Burke

:11:24.:11:28.

mobility scheme to a woman with cerebral palsy. Until this is

:11:28.:11:34.

repaired, she is stuck in the house. And this one belongs to a junior

:11:34.:11:38.

doctor who has not been able to get to work today. And until we hold --

:11:38.:11:45.

told her, she did not know it was somebody with a gun. Was it? Oh,

:11:45.:11:51.

this might be the man who is coming to fix it. Hello. That is great.

:11:51.:12:01.
:12:01.:12:01.

Are you coming? That is grand. I will be here. See you in a bit. I

:12:01.:12:07.

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

:12:07.:12:12.

tomorrow. What has it meant to you today? Stuck in the house.

:12:12.:12:22.
:12:22.:12:24.

Obviously, inconvenient. And �50 out of pocket. The police say

:12:24.:12:28.

anyone who can help to find who did this should contact them as soon as

:12:28.:12:35.

possible. A popular Lake District tourist

:12:35.:12:38.

attraction is facing closure after magistrates found it had been

:12:39.:12:42.

operating illegally. The deviation root of the Via Ferrata at the

:12:42.:12:47.

Honister slate mine, which features a 120 ft zip wire, was installed

:12:47.:12:51.

without proper permission. The owners admitted the root damage

:12:51.:12:58.

vegetation and they must now pay nearly �30,000 in fines and costs.

:12:58.:13:03.

This is the classic Via Ferrata at Honister, which is unaffected by

:13:03.:13:07.

today's court case at Workington magistrates. But an offshoot with a

:13:07.:13:10.

zip wire further up will close in November after Natural England

:13:10.:13:14.

brought a case against the owners saying it is operating illegally.

:13:14.:13:20.

The firm must now pay fines and costs. Natural England have a

:13:20.:13:25.

statutory responsibility to look after sites of special scientific

:13:25.:13:27.

interest, in other words to ensure people comply with the law when

:13:27.:13:31.

they use them. It is very disappointing when Natural England

:13:31.:13:38.

do have to resort to legal recourse. We try to protect the environment.

:13:38.:13:41.

In passing sentence, the chairman of the bench said they accepted

:13:41.:13:46.

there was no intention to destroy vegetation, but the construction of

:13:46.:13:49.

the Via Ferrata deviation was deliberate and was gone for

:13:49.:13:54.

financial gain. The deviation group was put in by former owner Mark

:13:54.:13:58.

Weir, who died in a helicopter crash in March. Today, his long-

:13:58.:14:01.

term partner said it was an attempt to bring adventure and excitement

:14:01.:14:06.

to the Lake District. We have to listen to the magistrates, go

:14:06.:14:11.

forward and find a compromise that all bodies are happy with, to

:14:11.:14:18.

retain the jaw in our crown. I will endeavour to do that. -- the Jule

:14:18.:14:20.

in our crown. Plenty more to come:

:14:20.:14:25.

We hear from a soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder

:14:25.:14:29.

at just 19 years old. We meet the volunteers helping to

:14:29.:14:34.

build a future for a young Mexican family.

:14:34.:14:37.

Heavy rain fall on the radar has already caused flooding today in

:14:37.:14:40.

the south-west and it is now splashing to our region. I will

:14:40.:14:50.

give you the details in the weather forecast.

:14:50.:14:53.

Post traumatic stress disorder. These days we know far more about

:14:53.:14:57.

it then we used to, but it seems a lot of former military personnel

:14:57.:15:00.

are suffering in silence. In a region that recruits many

:15:00.:15:04.

servicemen and women, that is worrying. Now, a local organisation

:15:04.:15:09.

says there has been a sharp rise in demand for its help.

:15:09.:15:14.

To find yourself talking to an ex soldier and combat veteran is all

:15:14.:15:18.

the more sobering when he tells you he is still only 19 and was

:15:18.:15:24.

fighting the Taliban at barely 18. They do not want you to think that

:15:24.:15:28.

you have got post-traumatic stress disorder. They just want your mind

:15:28.:15:34.

focused on fighting. Jordan's first tour of Afghanistan was his last.

:15:34.:15:38.

He only escaped with his own life because the land mine he stood on

:15:38.:15:42.

did not explode. He was discharged and then diagnosed with post-

:15:42.:15:46.

traumatic stress disorder. Now he is being held by someone who went

:15:46.:15:51.

through it a generation earlier. Gary Cameron set up a company

:15:51.:15:55.

called military mentor health. For Jordan, just getting this far is an

:15:55.:15:59.

achievement. Because they cover their problems, do not talk to

:15:59.:16:03.

people, do not come forward, do not have a point of contact, I am that

:16:03.:16:08.

point of contact in the north-east. I served in the forces for nine

:16:08.:16:13.

years. I came out with a few problems. I have worn the T-shirt.

:16:13.:16:17.

The company is fronted by a number of bodies fire the Business Link

:16:17.:16:21.

organisation. Here, his briefing them, NHS trusts, local authorities

:16:21.:16:26.

and charities that offer help. There is no shortage of demand. An

:16:26.:16:30.

MoD report estimated that one in five service or ex service

:16:30.:16:36.

personnel deployed since 2003 will have some degree of post traumatic

:16:36.:16:39.

stress. Veterans like this, especially single males, show

:16:39.:16:43.

higher levels of drug and alcohol abuse, are more susceptible to

:16:43.:16:46.

depression, more likely to be in trouble with the law, and more

:16:46.:16:52.

likely to shut themselves away and not seek help. Jordan is one of

:16:52.:16:56.

nearly 200,000 military veterans in the north-east. His life, he says,

:16:56.:17:01.

is back on track. There are people you can turn to and talk to. You

:17:01.:17:05.

should not be ashamed to talk to people. Five months ago I was

:17:05.:17:10.

always down and did not want to do anything, talk to anybody. Now, I

:17:10.:17:18.

am on my feet, doing what I want to Thousands of teenagers in the

:17:18.:17:22.

region are taking it easy after the stress of exams. But a group of

:17:22.:17:26.

young people from Northumberland and Tyne side have chosen to have a

:17:26.:17:30.

more strenuous summer. They volunteered to build a house for a

:17:30.:17:34.

young family in Mexico in one of the country's more deprived

:17:34.:17:44.

neighbourhoods. Ensenada, north-west Mexico, just

:17:44.:17:49.

90 minutes on the border with the USA. Colourful and friendly, this

:17:49.:17:53.

port city is one of the country's most affluent. But a short drive to

:17:53.:17:56.

the outskirts reveals a different type of neighbourhood, the type

:17:56.:18:02.

that the north-east teenagers have only ever seen on TV screens.

:18:02.:18:07.

really derelict. There are open sewers everywhere. It is just not

:18:07.:18:14.

so nice. I am a bit moved by it. All built on top of each other. It

:18:14.:18:20.

is a bit scary. Barbed-wire fences. You don't really imagine kids

:18:20.:18:24.

growing up here. They are here to build a house for a young family

:18:24.:18:28.

and have been training for the experience for the last year with a

:18:28.:18:31.

Tyneside based company. It is through a housing project run by

:18:31.:18:35.

the Christian charity Youth With A Mission, and their skills are

:18:36.:18:40.

finally being put to use. problem in Mexico is that you build

:18:40.:18:45.

a house as you get money. You have to have a really good job to get a

:18:45.:18:49.

loan. It is so hard. That is why many houses are unfinished. It

:18:49.:18:56.

gives them the ability to start. This time it is a 22-year-old who

:18:56.:19:01.

will benefit. He and his wife had spent the first four years of their

:19:01.:19:10.

marriage living with his parents in cramped conditions. Me, my wife,

:19:10.:19:20.
:19:20.:19:21.

Stephanie, and my granddaughter. Six people.

:19:21.:19:27.

They have three rooms for six people. At home, we have 10 to 12

:19:27.:19:31.

rooms for five of us. It is amazing how they survive and we always

:19:31.:19:34.

complain that we do not have enough room, do not have enough things.

:19:34.:19:39.

Actually, we have so much more than everyone here. I will now be much

:19:40.:19:46.

more grateful for what I have. is a big step for the young couple.

:19:46.:19:50.

Both of them work six days a week but still found themselves in debt

:19:50.:19:54.

after funding the medical costs for their baby son, who tragically died

:19:54.:20:02.

from a heart defect. It is a new home and a new start.

:20:02.:20:07.

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

:20:07.:20:11.

is so important for us. It is going to give us hope and it is so good

:20:11.:20:15.

to know that we will have our own place and our daughter can grave in

:20:15.:20:19.

this new house. There is a huge sense of achievement because after

:20:19.:20:24.

16 hours of hard work, in temperatures of up to 34 degrees,

:20:24.:20:27.

the team are very nearly at the end of the building. Just a few

:20:27.:20:31.

finishing touches left and very soon the family who this has been

:20:31.:20:38.

in aid of will get the keys to their new home. That has to be one

:20:38.:20:42.

of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my life and I will

:20:42.:20:46.

remember it all ways. The young people may have helped this family

:20:46.:20:51.

with their new home, but in turn the family have left them with an

:20:51.:21:00.

experience they will remember for a lifetime.

:21:01.:21:04.

Fantastic work! Time for the sport, and we are just

:21:04.:21:07.

one week into the Premier League season but we have a Derby already.

:21:07.:21:11.

Yes, there is still a slim chance we might get some movement in the

:21:11.:21:16.

transfer market before then, too. Yes, we are less than 48 hours from

:21:16.:21:20.

the start of the Wear Tyne derby and Alan Pardew has said that Steve

:21:20.:21:23.

Harper is still very much in his plans, despite the club being

:21:23.:21:27.

linked with Charlton keeper Rob Elliott. He will be on the bench

:21:27.:21:35.

for the Magpies on Saturday, and Alan Pardew had hoped to have a

:21:35.:21:39.

replacement for Jose Enrique at left-back before the trip, but

:21:39.:21:43.

Brian Taylor looks certain to deputise. The big match comes just

:21:43.:21:53.

one week into the season. It is a big fixture in the calendar.

:21:53.:21:57.

The team is not fixed. No Premiership side is going to be

:21:57.:22:01.

nailed down, with the exception of the teams in the Europa Cup. It is

:22:01.:22:06.

a case of finding out what we are, and what qualities we have this

:22:06.:22:12.

year which are different to last year. We had some debuts last week

:22:12.:22:16.

which were encouraging and one or two players will have understood

:22:16.:22:21.

that the Premiership is a level up from any division. They will adjust

:22:21.:22:29.

to that. I cannot remember being involved with a club and your first

:22:29.:22:34.

game is the local derby. But it is upon us. If I am honest, I would

:22:34.:22:37.

have liked it in four months, because it is something everybody

:22:37.:22:41.

looks forward to. It is very early. Can we produce a performance like

:22:41.:22:49.

the second half at Anfield? If we do, we will be OK. We will hear

:22:49.:22:52.

from Sunderland and Newcastle on tomorrow's look north in our

:22:52.:22:57.

special preview of the Derby. Belgian international Ferris Haroun

:22:57.:23:00.

has completed his move to Middlesbrough today after a

:23:00.:23:03.

successful trial. He joins on a three-year deal and he could make

:23:03.:23:09.

his debut against Birmingham on Sunday.

:23:09.:23:13.

Not one new face, but 14 for Newcastle Falcons, who are taking

:23:13.:23:17.

on Leeds in their only home a pre- season friendly tomorrow. With so

:23:17.:23:21.

many new players, we thought we would introduce some of them.

:23:22.:23:27.

Ashley Wells, ran short Lunt, Richard Mayhew. While some are

:23:27.:23:34.

clearly uncomfortable in front of camera, not a part-time model. But

:23:34.:23:39.

how did he get such an exotic name. My mother decided that my father

:23:39.:23:44.

could name me. I am not 100% sure where the name comes from, I think

:23:44.:23:49.

it is Spanish or something. He is half Spanish, half Swedish, and my

:23:49.:23:54.

step dad is Italian. With a name like that, up here it is inevitable

:23:54.:23:59.

you are going to be called Geordie. Yes, it has already happened and I

:23:59.:24:09.
:24:09.:24:12.

am sure it will not stop. Three team-mates are reunited. We first

:24:12.:24:21.

met at a high-school. He was captain and I was vice captain. We

:24:21.:24:27.

have been friends ever since then. We moved apart, and he moved to the

:24:27.:24:30.

other side of the world and I followed him and we are back to do

:24:30.:24:34.

battle again. It will certainly be a battle tomorrow night against

:24:34.:24:37.

Leeds, after the Falcons beat them to Premiership survival on points

on the last day of the season. need to prove that we deserve to be

:24:42.:24:46.

here and that the right team went down. And winning breeds of winning.

:24:47.:24:50.

This is an opportunity to get a taste of winning again. The game

:24:50.:24:55.

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

:24:55.:24:59.

today. Just a bit but that is all set to

:24:59.:25:08.

Tonight, heavy showers for the north-east, but much drier in

:25:08.:25:11.

Cumbria. This is the rainfall that caused the flooding you may have

:25:11.:25:16.

heard about in the south-west. That is heading across our region. This

:25:16.:25:20.

is the picture tonight and into the early hours. Very heavy, some of

:25:20.:25:30.
:25:30.:25:31.

those showers. We are expecting anything up to 30 mm of rain, one

:25:31.:25:38.

inch or more in the north-east. Much clearer in Cumbria. Another

:25:38.:25:43.

chance, in the West, to see the International Space Station. More

:25:43.:25:48.

details later. Showers overnight with the risk of localised flooding.

:25:48.:25:52.

It will be a chilly start to the morning in the West, but milder in

:25:52.:25:56.

the east, and for all of us tomorrow will be a better day.

:25:56.:26:01.

Showers should clear. Lovely spells of sunshine into the afternoon.

:26:02.:26:09.

Through the afternoon, it is fine and dry. As we move west, it has

:26:09.:26:14.

already started to cloud over again. The start of, yes, you guessed it,

:26:14.:26:19.

another weather system coming from the West. Expected to cloud over

:26:19.:26:22.

across the North-East, with showers spilling across from the West

:26:22.:26:32.
:26:32.:26:36.

tomorrow evening and overnight. The weather is staying very unsettled

:26:36.:26:41.

over the next few days. This is the picture for Saturday and Sunday.

:26:41.:26:46.

Rain or showers at times, so a gloomy forecast for the Wear Tyne

:26:46.:26:55.

derby. We are forecasting gloomy skies. This is the picture last

:26:55.:27:00.

night. It is the International Space Station captured by Stephen

:27:00.:27:04.

Jenkins in County Durham. This is when you can see it tonight over

:27:04.:27:10.

Cumbria. Three minutes past midnight.

:27:11.:27:14.

The headlines: Students are scrambling for

:27:14.:27:17.

university places after A-level results were published today. There

has been a rush for clearing places because tuition fees increase next
