:02:12. > :02:16.assault, when they were given an address they knew who would find
:02:16. > :02:20.there. They also knew that because of David Rathband's prominence and
:02:20. > :02:24.place in the hearts of the British public, this would be an incredibly
:02:24. > :02:30.sensitive issue for them to deal with. All the force was so today
:02:30. > :02:32.was that officers were called to a residential address in
:02:32. > :02:37.Northumberland and that a 43-year- old man was arrested on suspicion
:02:38. > :02:41.of assault, and that inquiries are ongoing. The spokesperson for PC

:03:30. > :03:36.trolley back. I went to shut the boot and spoke to another taxi
:03:36. > :03:40.driver behind me. I turned around and the taxi was gone. A youth had
:03:40. > :03:45.jumped into the front seat. He sped off around his car park. The police
:03:45. > :03:49.say he collided with 15 cars, causing serious damage, and all

:05:39. > :05:43.Robbery may well be a motive. That is a line of inquiry we are
:05:43. > :05:47.pursuing. We believe the handbag was stolen from the house in the

:07:24. > :07:29.the 99% pass rate here at the college, up like national rates for
:07:29. > :07:37.the 23rd year in a road. 69.8 % across the UK have achieved at
:07:37. > :07:42.least five grades A to grades C. Art exams becoming easier? There is
:07:42. > :07:46.a right time for looking at that question. The universities need to
:07:46. > :07:50.examine the exam papers and making that judgment, but the right time
:07:50. > :07:59.to do that is not now. Right now the students are celebrating what
:07:59. > :08:07.they have done. Also to celebrate their success here, 99 of these
:08:07. > :08:09.ice-creams were given out. Of course, behind the GCSE
:08:09. > :08:14.statistics today, there are countless stories of individual
:08:14. > :08:16.successes. As we have heard, many have scored star grades but many
:08:16. > :08:22.others have had a nail-biting day wondering whether their exam
:08:22. > :08:24.results are good enough to see them realise their dreams. Our political
:08:25. > :08:34.correspondent, Mark Denten, has spent the day with one student from

:08:52. > :08:57.grades. I am hoping that I will get all C grades. I do not want any B
:08:57. > :09:05.grades. Law and her classmates are waiting for those crucial envelopes.
:09:05. > :09:11.-- Laura. I have done quite well. You got the great that you needed,
:09:11. > :09:16.the crucial secret? I did. When Europe looked more closely, she has
:09:16. > :09:23.not passed her maths, so will her Grace really be enough to get her
:09:23. > :09:28.into college? In the main hall, she meets a careers adviser. We leave
:09:28. > :09:32.them to have a long chat. What is effectively happening here is a
:09:32. > :09:36.giant jigsaw puzzle. Lots of students, lots of courses and an
:09:36. > :09:41.effort by the college to fit them altogether. But this year there is
:09:41. > :09:44.an additional piece of the jigsaw, money. This year the students will
:09:45. > :09:48.not get education maintenance allowance. The college is trying to
:09:48. > :09:52.bridge the gap through its own scheme but they still say the
:09:52. > :09:58.students will be put off. It is naive for anyone to think that the
:09:58. > :10:05.abolition of a DNA is not going to have an impact. -- the abolition of
:10:05. > :10:09.EMA. There is little evidence that EMA encouraged students to stay in
:10:09. > :10:16.education you would not have otherwise done so. There is other
:10:16. > :10:21.targeted support. How did she get on? She is in. I will be studying

:10:58. > :11:01.Jenny Benson from Cockermouth in Cumbria is taking part in a major
:11:01. > :11:04.charity event to raise cash for flood defences in the town. The
:11:04. > :11:10.work will cost �5 million and the local community needs to contribute
:11:10. > :11:14.�300,000 towards the scheme. Jenny Benson's children love their new
:11:14. > :11:17.garden. Its new flood defence looks like any other wall. During the
:11:17. > :11:25.floods of 2009 it was very different, the garden and the
:11:25. > :11:30.ground floor of their home taken over by the River Derwent. It took
:11:30. > :11:34.nine months of work to make it habitable once more. Although
:11:34. > :11:39.Jenny's home is back to normal, she wants to help pay for even more
:11:39. > :11:49.flood defences in the town. So Jenny is doing a 40 mile sponsored
:11:49. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:53.bike race. The area has been defended but nothing would protect
:11:53. > :11:57.against 2009, but there is an opportunity now for flood defences
:11:57. > :12:01.for the rest of the town and it seems like a good way of giving
:12:01. > :12:05.back a lot of support we received from neighbours and people around
:12:05. > :12:11.the town. It seems like a good thing to do for Cockermouth in the
:12:11. > :12:15.future. The defences at the back of the house have been completed but
:12:15. > :12:18.more homes in the town are still vulnerable. The Environment Agency

:12:47. > :12:50.money she raises will help the group but it also shines a light
:12:50. > :12:55.and the valuable work this event has been raising money for local
:12:55. > :12:58.charities. During the ride Jenny will come across here. It is one of
:12:58. > :13:01.a number of flood damaged bridges to feature in the Jennings Rivers

:13:11. > :13:18.routes up to 80mph long. All the entrance fees paid will go to good

:13:21. > :13:26.recovered from a brain tumour and is now walking the Hadrian's Wall
:13:26. > :13:29.trail. It is to raise money for the hospital which treated him. Mr
:13:29. > :13:32.Opperman collapsed at the House of Commons in April. He is now
:13:32. > :13:36.recuperating with a six-day hike and a series of public meetings en

:13:44. > :13:48.their best foot forward along Hadrian's Way this morning. Mr
:13:48. > :13:51.Opperman is walking the 80mph route in six days, just 100 days after he
:13:51. > :14:01.collapsed at Westminster with a benign brain tumour that had to be
:14:01. > :14:02.
:14:02. > :14:07.surgically removed. Although I look absolutely fine now, it was scary
:14:07. > :14:11.at the time, and the NHS was wonderful. I was discharged in May
:14:11. > :14:14.and have been slowly working my way back to full fitness. I have been
:14:14. > :14:18.full-time for the last three or four weeks and I thought it would
:14:18. > :14:22.be a really good idea to use the time when Parliament is not sitting

:14:26. > :14:29.but also support the local tourist business and the key tourist
:14:29. > :14:31.attraction for this area is Hadrian's Wall. Before setting off
:14:31. > :14:34.yesterday, he visited another hospital, the Freeman in Newcastle,
:14:34. > :14:41.to lend his support to the children's heart unit. But he is
:14:41. > :14:45.fundraising for two other institutions. I am supporting two
:14:45. > :14:52.particular charities, the National neurological Hospital in London,
:14:52. > :14:58.which saved my life. The National brain appeal. And locally, Tyne
:14:58. > :15:03.Dail Hospice, which does an amazing amount of work looking after people.
:15:03. > :15:07.We are raising several thousands of pounds. I already have pledges from
:15:07. > :15:12.several businesses. It is also a great chance to meet a lot of local
:15:12. > :15:16.people and along the way we are having a series of meetings, a
:15:16. > :15:24.public hall meetings every night. Is the Prime Minister keeping tags
:15:24. > :15:29.and your progress? -- keeping tabs on your progress? He has sent me a
:15:29. > :15:35.message and rang me up a couple of months ago as well. He is broadly
:15:35. > :15:41.supportive but has a few other things to worry about right now.

:16:10. > :16:16.after ten years. It is a lovely plaque. It is the
:16:16. > :16:20.first Theatre Studio that I have ever had named after me. I am so
:16:20. > :16:27.glad it is in a school and I am deeply glad it is being Durham
:16:27. > :16:32.Johnston School. I want to say a big thank you to the school
:16:32. > :16:35.especially for having made it possible for us.
:16:35. > :16:38.Now for the last in our Headliners series, and it is the first of a
:16:38. > :16:42.two-part interview, because the gentleman in question has been in
:16:42. > :16:45.the headlines for the best part of the past 25 years! Sir John Hall is,
:16:45. > :16:47.of course, the man behind the Gateshead Metro Centre and he also
:16:47. > :16:49.revolutionised Newcastle United Football Club. Last year he was
:16:49. > :16:54.diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer, but he's looking good, at
:16:55. > :17:04.79. And he was in top form when I went to meet him at his home -
:17:05. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:10.Wynyard Hall, on Teesside. How are you? I am fine. The cancer
:17:10. > :17:17.is under control. The side effects from the drug affect me but I am
:17:17. > :17:24.still good. There are worst cancers. But I am working hard, looking
:17:24. > :17:31.forward to new projects. Looking forward to the team playing a game.
:17:31. > :17:37.Kevin Keegan era, that must have been the most enjoyable time?
:17:37. > :17:42.were moments, probably, but we will always remember. Hopefully they
:17:42. > :17:49.will be recaptured in the years to come. Kevin was looking to find us
:17:49. > :17:52.and we were looking to find Kevin. Nobody could motivate people as
:17:53. > :17:57.well as Kevin could. He got the best out of them and gave them the
:17:57. > :18:01.licence to play football. Had we won the league it would have given
:18:01. > :18:06.the club the big impetus. It was an exciting team and after that it did
:18:06. > :18:14.not work out to a degree and Kevin left and after that we had a
:18:14. > :18:22.succession of managers. Some who are would not even give a job again,
:18:22. > :18:25.some of them quite useless. The pundits have today tell us about
:18:25. > :18:28.football. They should ask the Geordie fans! The exception, of
:18:28. > :18:34.course, was Bobby Robson - who turned down Sir John's initial
:18:34. > :18:38.approach, to stay loyal to Barcelona. He did very well when he
:18:38. > :18:44.came but can you imagine when he was at the peak of his power and
:18:44. > :18:48.his marriage and skills? Imagine where we would have been -- the
:18:48. > :18:51.peak of his power and his management skills. And, no telling
:18:51. > :18:54.where the club might have been without Sir John. But four years
:18:54. > :19:02.later he made the break - selling his majority shareholding to Mike
:19:02. > :19:06.Ashley. We were local millionaires. There was a passion from the heart
:19:06. > :19:12.and we were investing in something we loved. And today that has gone.
:19:12. > :19:21.The moment Abramovich came in, in my view, it destroyed the game. I
:19:21. > :19:26.feel angry at time ask -- I feel angry at times about the way the
:19:26. > :19:30.press handled all this. He is an excellent businessman with a lot of
:19:30. > :19:39.money but I do not think he understood the Geordie mentality.
:19:39. > :19:44.We have been very close to the fans. At the end of the day it was him
:19:44. > :19:48.and them. It was repeated. I think he generally means well and I hope
:19:48. > :19:52.he can basically now decide what he is going to do an hour they get it
:19:52. > :19:55.right or move on. So that's Newcastle, but did you know he used
:19:55. > :20:03.to be a season ticket holder at Roker Park? Purely business, of
:20:03. > :20:11.course! I had two tickets, for Douglas and myself. We used to do
:20:11. > :20:16.go one week to Sunderland and the next week back to Newcastle. I am a
:20:16. > :20:23.Geordie and I was taken to Newcastle when I was eight. You can
:20:23. > :20:33.never get that out of your blood but I felt I had to do it, but my
:20:33. > :20:35.
:20:36. > :20:38.heart has always been north of the water.
:20:39. > :20:41.And there'll be more from Sir John tomorrow, including news of his
:20:41. > :20:44.plans for a major tourist attraction for Teesside. So he
:20:44. > :20:47.still watches Newcastle, who are in Carling Cup action tonight, Dawn?
:20:47. > :20:50.Let's start with the Carling Cup, and Carlisle United have missed out
:20:50. > :20:53.on a glamour tie after West Ham's surprise defeat at home to
:20:53. > :20:56.Aldershot last night. The League Two club will now host the
:20:56. > :20:58.Cumbrians in a delayed second round tie next Tuesday. Well, already
:20:58. > :21:01.through to Saturday's third round draw are in-form Middlesbrough.
:21:01. > :21:04.Mark Tulip rounds up the action. Hosts Peterborough had scored seven
:21:05. > :21:11.in their last home match but few teams are in as confident a mood as
:21:11. > :21:13.talent Joe Bennett set up the trusty right foot of Barry Robson
:21:13. > :21:16.whose precise finish gave adventurous Boro the lead. Summer
