Welcome to Friday's programme. Tonight, a Look North exclusive. As | :00:04. | :00:06. | |
the hunt for suspected murderer Graeme Jarman goes nationwide, his | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
oldest friend appeals for him to give himself up. Graeme, if you're | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
out there, don't leave it any longer. Find someone you know, turn | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
yourself into the police. Also tonight, the man who caused | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
this trail of destruction in a stolen bus is jailed. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Not playing by the rules - fears that our egg farmers could be | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
driven out of business by Euro cheats. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
And a genuine storm in a tea cup, as brewers fight over the right to | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
use a brand name. In sport, what does Alan Shearer | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
think of the Magpies' number nine vacancy? | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
And just how nervous will the parents of this young Cumbrian be | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
if he makes the England team for tomorrow's One-Day cricket | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:06. | ||
It's now two weeks since 77 year- old Judith Richardson was found | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
battered to death at her home in Hexham, in Northumberland. And the | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
man suspected of murdering her, Graeme Jarman, is still at large. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
He's now the focus of a nationwide manhunt, and has a price on his | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
head. We have two reports coming up. First, let's go live to Peter | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Harris, who's outside the house in Hexham where Judith Richardson | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
:01:34. | :01:41. | ||
lived. It is now two weeks since Judith Richardson was discovered | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
but more than two weeks since Graeme Jarman disappeared. More | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
information has been released, we will come back to that. Firstly we | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
already know some things about this man. He is a convicted sex offender, | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
he has convictions for armed robberies, for indecent assault and | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
there is another side to this month. Our chief reporter has been in | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
London on the trail of one of Jarman's oldest friends and as you | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
will see now, he paints a different picture. He is the's man every | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
police officer in the country is looking for. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
A rapist, rubber and now a suspected murderer. So was Graeme | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Jarman always a monster in the making? Martin McRae, now a senior | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
health service manager, has known him since they started school | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
together as five-year-olds at Lanchester in County Durham. Your | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
heart goes out of the people who have been the victim of crimes like | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
this and this one in particular. You think, that is not the lad I | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
knew. It makes you think almost, did I miss something? And I don't | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
think I did. He was a decent lad, a good friend, I would still say that | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
even know what has turned out 20 years on has been very, very | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
different to what I knew. Other old friends say it Jarman's personality | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
changed when, as a young man, he was told he had been adopted as a | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
child. Martin, though, is not so sure. For any of us, that would be | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
a big shock, is that they reason to go on and do this? You cannot draw | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
that conclusion, can you? But what you can say is that until leaving | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
school at 18, and I assume he knew nothing about that at the time, | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
there was no indication that there was any badness in the man and were | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
that something like that tries partners in to you. It may have | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
been a tipping point. Difficult to imagine what his mother is going | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
through at the moment? A lovely woman and always kind in my | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
experience. She would bring us a glass of orange juice out when we | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
were tiny. She did everything that friends' parents do for you | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
enclosed community life. She has asked for Graeme Jarman to give | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
himself up. What would you say to him if you could? Exec in the same. | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:27. | ||
Graeme, if you are out there, Turn IT yourself in it to the police. Do | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
not run away from the police. And I would say that today and I am sure | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
that is what everybody else would say to him. Listen Timmy, Graeme, | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
:04:48. | :04:49. | ||
that is what you should do. So, the hunt goes on. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Peter, the police released some new information about Jarman this | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
afternoon. What can you tell us? has a gambling habit, and people | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
think he has blown hundreds of pounds in the past few weeks and | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
people believe he has been desperate to recover those losses. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
And they reckon that may have been significant in the events that | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
followed. Graeme Jarman in the bookies. | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
Pictures which might be more significant than first thought. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
know that he enjoys gambling but we also know that he has had a problem | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
with it for a long time. We do believe that before the murder of | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Miss Richardson, he may have lost several hundred pounds through | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
gambling which may have been the trigger for some rather irrational | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
behaviour. I think if it makes sense to him, he will know that | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
walking into any police station and taking the stress out of the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
situation is the right thing to do, I am confident he will know that. | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
And so the police search for Graeme Jarman is focusing on betting shops | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:17. | ||
as well as hotels and the public transport network. Graeme Jarman as | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
-- goes missing from his home in Consett. On August 19th, Judith | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
Richardson is discovered having been beaten to death with a hammer. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
He is seen at a bookies in Saltburn on August 22nd, then spotted | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
shopping in Teesside and last Friday, another sighting, this time | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
boarding a bus on Stockton High Street. Since then, nothing. The | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
police accept he could be anywhere and tonight they launched a | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
nationwide manhunt. Graeme Jarman is now officially a suspect in the | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
investigation into the murder of Judith Richardson and today, her | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
family issued a statement saying what has happened to them is | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
horrific and they are urging the public to help the police. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
It is not two weeks since Judith Richardson was found bludgeoned to | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
death at home in Hexham and tonight a �5,000 reward is on offer from | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Crimestoppers for information which leads to the conviction of Miss | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
Richardson's killer. The police are reiterating tonight, | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
do not approach Graeme Jarman, you would not be surprised hearing the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
information we have given you, but we have got officers from three of | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
the region's police forces, Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
and several working exclusively on Detectives investigating the murder | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
of an elderly man have recovered remains from the back garden of a | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
house in Gateshead. 85-year-old Francis Willis, who lived on the | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Leam Lane Estate, hasn't been seen for two weeks. His son, who's also | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
called Francis, appeared before magistrates earlier today and was | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
charged with murder. A man's been crushed to death by a | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
concrete staircase in Workington. Martin McGlasson, 37, was working | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
on it this morning when it collapsed at ACP Concrete, at Clay | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
Flatts in the town. "It's one of the worst cases of | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
dangerous driving I've ever seen". The words today of a judge | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
sentencing a County Durham man, who stole a bus and caused nearly | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
�70,000 worth of damage. 20-year- old Adam Winfield from Trimdon | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
knocked into cars, walls, telegraph poles and power lines when he stole | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
the vehicle in April. He eventually crashed the bus in Shotton Colliery. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
Stuart Whincup reports. This is where Adam Winfield's trail | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
of destruction ended. He'd crashed into cars, knocked down power lines | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
before ending up in a front garden, just a few feet from one family's | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
front room. It was horrendous because I would be quite honest, it | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
made me shake. I was absolutely petrified. When I got my senses | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
back to where they should be, I went to the front door thinking | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
there would be a plane or something. Winfield had taken the coach from | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Peterlee Bus Station. He then drove the two miles to Shotton Colliery, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
crashing into half a dozen cars, before finally stopping. Today the | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
court heard the clean-up bill was a big one. Northern Electric said it | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
spent �25,000 on staff and repair work following the crash. Arriva | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
said it had to spend �25,000 on a new bus. And residents estimated | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
:09:49. | :09:51. | ||
the damage to their cars and property was around �15,000. -- | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
The judge said that the mayhem would horrify anyone listing. He | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
said it was one of the worst cases of dangerous driving he had ever | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
known. Driving on the wrong side of the road, without lights on, | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
crashing into cars and gardens, the damage was estimated at tens of | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
thousands of pounds. A custodial sentence of 12 months was the only | :10:15. | :10:24. | |
Sunderland Football Club today argued that a lunchtime kick-off at | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
their match against Stoke City, which will take place on the same | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
day as the Great North Run, was the best option for fans. As we told | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
you on last night's Look North, organisers of the run fear | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
transport chaos and point out that many of those taking part or | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
watching will also be football fans who won't be able to get to the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
game. The clash of fixtures means more than 90,000 sports fans could | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
be in the region at the same time. Here's our correspondent, Mark | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Denten. The Great North Run involves 54,000 | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
runners. A home match at the Stadium Of Light, 40,000 fans. And | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
this year, both will be on the same day. Bizarrely, this complicated | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
web of sporting events has come together because I up the success | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
of Stoke City. They have qualified for the group stages of the Europa | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
League and what that means is fixture congestion and that also | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
means that Stoke City will play Sunderland here at 1 o'clock on the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
day of the Great North Run. Organisers of the Great North Run | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
say that will mean travel chaos. Our biggest concern is for people | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
who will be leaving the area of the finish line and travelling south | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
because as they arrive in and around Sunderland, 40,000 fans will | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
be leaving the Stadium of Light. We are disappointed that we were not | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
consulted about the change to the One o'clock kick-off on the Sunday, | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
a real surprise to us and we found out on the internet on Wednesday | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
evening. But at Sunderland, they're relaxed | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
at the fixture clash. It will allow the people of South Tyneside fair | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
access and a fair chance to the metro system before the bulk of the | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
runners have finished. Organisers of both events say | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
they're now determined to make both a success. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
British egg farmers have spent millions of pounds, to meet new | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
European regulations, due in January. But because some EU | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
countries haven't bothered, the commission is thinking about giving | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
them extra time. The fear is, home farmers might now be undercut by | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
their continental competitors, and some might even go out of business. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Keith Akehurst reports from the North East's biggest egg producer. | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
For 50 years and four generations, Derwent Valley Eggs has been | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
supplying the North East. From big supermarkets to corner shops, a | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
quarter of a million birds producing 200,000 eggs a day. The | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Tulip family have spent �6 million in six years removing the old | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
battery hen cages and replacing them with free range and colony | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
systems. At first glance, the colony system does not look much | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
different to the battery one but the cages are much bigger and the | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
facilities inside for the birds, much better. The old cages, they | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
were just about about a square, from there to there at that height | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
and the same distance apart. And we used to have five birds in there | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
and I now realise that was wrong. This system has been researched, | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
and goes from here where we have a nest box and then there's plenty of | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
perching space and at the far end, there's a feeder inside with food | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
troughs inside. The EU gave producers ten years to | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
replace battery cages with the colony system. From 1st January, | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
battery production will be illegal. But some EU countries haven't | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
bothered to comply and are asking for a delay. You have to pay for | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
all of your loans, and extra costs in the production systems, and if | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
you have got foreign caged hens eggs coming in, you will not be | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
able to compete. A parliamentary select committee | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
backs the British farmers. We won the Government to press the | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Commission to make sure that those not complying in other European | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
Union countries will not have their eggs admitted into this country but | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
also that they will be heavily fined. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Coming up next in tonight's Look North, Yorkshire tea wars. And | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
later, if you thought you couldn't look cool on a mobility scooter, | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
think again. Plenty of cloud means rain for most of us over the | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
weekend but also some brightness as Now, this sounds like more than a | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
storm in teacup. The world-famous Yorkshire company, Taylor's of | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
Harrogate, has been accused of being heavy-handed. They've ordered | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
the makers of a new tea, called Yorkshire Brew, to take their | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
product off the shelves. Taylor's own the brand name Yorkshire Tea, | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
:15:13. | :15:13. | ||
and they're threatening legal This is possibly Yorkshire's newest | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
tea room. China Jasmin, four coffees, one breakfast brood and | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
three Lucy loaf... It is also selling what is possibly | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Yorkshire's newest team. York City is a registered trademark owned by | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
the same company that runs Betty's. And it wants Yorkshire Brew off the | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
menu. Leaving this brand new business shocked and disappointed. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
I trialled it with the customers we had from Yorkshire and they thought | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
it was absolutely brilliant. The feedback we got was phenomenal. As | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
we know, a Yorkshire Brew for hard water, is to be a tough brew. It | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
has got lots of good colour and flavour. I thought it was brilliant | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
and before you know it, it has caused a few problems which is a | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
bit sad, really. Tailors who owned the Yorkshire tea, same company as | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
Betty's, have ordered Yorkshire Brew off the cells. And threatened | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
legal action. They say the brand is to close to their own. Taylor's | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
have told us in a statement, as a family business we are not experts | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
on trade might but our advisers say we must protect our name and they | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
have done it before. Three years ago, they did the same thing to | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
Jonathan kid, he made savoury snacks called Fat Bettys but he | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
fought back and eventually won. The Oxford company behind Yorkshire | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
brew are hoping to do the same. was a bit upset about it first of | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
all but then I was a bit bemused about it because I could not | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
understand how you could trade mark the word "Yorkshire". We use the | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
name Oxford and Scottish so we feel using the name Yorkshire is just an | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
area of the country, not treading on anyone's toes. A our legal | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
advice is that the word Yorkshire when related to tea is a trademark. | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Had Yorkshire Brew been a beer, then a no problem. Think Tetley's, | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
for example. Whatever, let us have a bridge. -- a cup of tea. We | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
understand Newcastle's board has made a statement hitting back at | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
all the criticism against transfer. For yes, a bit more detail later on. | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Cricket now and Durham's international cricket ground at | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Chester-le-Street will be back in the spotlight this weekend. It's | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
the start of the One-Day International series between | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
England and the world champions, India. Tomorrow's capacity crowd | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
will be the equal biggest in the ground's relatively short history. | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Mark Tulip looks ahead. It's a big job staging any major | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
televised sporting event and there was no let-up this lunchtime less | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
than 24 hours before England try to do to India in the 50-overs game | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
what they did to them in a one- sided summer Test series. A | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
successful day off the pitch tomorrow meanwhile can only boost | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
:18:16. | :18:17. | ||
Durham's worldwide reputation. About 17,500 people in on the day. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
And I think a leading one-day side at the moment, India, about will be | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
a lot of pressure. All the visitors here who have come from the first | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
time, they get the wow factor. They get the atmosphere on the ground | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
which is a very special place. is becoming a true international | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
venue, isn't it? Yes, it keeps on improving and I hope there is a | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
good crowd tomorrow who get behind us. And in that crowd will be | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Deborah and Ged Stokes, a mum and dad with every reason to be nervous | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
especially if son, Ben, the Durham all-rounder and England new boy, | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
gets to play at his home ground tomorrow. As a coach I have been | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
involved with the game a lot and it is pretty much the same when Benn | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
is playing cricket. If he gets elected tomorrow and hopefully he | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
will, to play in front of his home crowd, I think the nerves will be | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
at there. I suffer them worse than he does and his mother is even | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
worse. It's been a big year for Yorkshire | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
fast bowler Tim Bresnan who'll be hoping to play his part in the | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
five-match series. The one thing they cannot control here is the | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
weather. Back in the County Championship, | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
Durham are still in with a shout of the title. They set Sussex an | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
:19:48. | :19:53. | ||
relegation-threatened Yorkshire are up for a fight against Warwickshire. | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
Yorkshire have got five wickets While Newcastle United fans may be | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
frustrated that their team failed to sign another striker before the | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
transfer deadline, they will have a chance to see one of their heroes | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
in the number nine shirt before too long. It's all because of a charity | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
football match involving some of United's greatest entertainers from | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
the 1990s. Part of the reason the number nine | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
shirt is so iconic at Newcastle is because of this man. Next month, | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
Alan Shearer will roll back the years and lead United's | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
entertainers out once again - this time in a charity match against | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
Liverpool's old boys at Kingston Park. We were everyone's second | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
team back then. The way that Kevin wanted to play his football, wanted | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
to attack. I am not sure everyone will be as fit as they were 10 | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
years ago, but it will be great to be with the guys again. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Kicking off the game will be Geordie runner and Newcastle fan, | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
Mark Allison, fresh from his incredible run across America. | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
me, this is like a dream. Times of course have changed since | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Newcastle were challenging for the title, and Shearer admits it's | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
strange seeing his old shirt still vacant. It does surprise me because | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
it was a great privilege to wear it and it is a shame we will not see | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
it this season. I am not sure why, maybe people were too scared of | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
what has gone on before. Do you think they have got enough up | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
front? When I look at other teams, then I think yes. I don't think | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
there will be involved in a relegation battle, I think we can | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
finish mid-table or above with what they have got. Newcastle's managing | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
director in a statement has admitted disappointment that they | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
were unable to sign the striker they targeted but defended the | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
policy of signing young players who represent value for money. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
In League One tomorrow, both Hartlepool and Carlisle - like all | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
our non-league clubs - will be looking to capitalise on the | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
international break. Pools are at home to Exeter, while Carlisle are | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
up against the league leaders MK Dons at Brunton Park, hoping to go | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
joint top themselves. It is a big game, and I think a lot of emphasis | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
will be on this. In the past, they have been exciting. I know their | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
team can be exciting and so can we, and hopefully it will take us to | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
the right end of the table. In other sport, Middlesbrough's | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Chris Tomlinson, who was carrying a knee injury, was well outside the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
medals in the long jump final at the World Championships. But there | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
has been success for the region at the World Rowing Championships in | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
Slovenia. As well as Durham's Nathan Reilly O'Donnell winning a | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
silver medal in the men's eight, 21-year-old Keiran Emery from | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
Newcastle claimed gold in the lightweight pairs race. Meanwhile | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Jess Eddie, also from Durham, has qualified for London 2012 after | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
taking bronze for Team GB in the women's eight. | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
Finally good luck to Darlington roofer Stuey Hall with three | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
bantamweight boxing titles on the line when he fights Jamie McDonnell | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :22:58. | ||
Thanks, Katie. Mobility scooters are a familiar sight on our roads | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
and footpaths, and for many people they're absolutely crucial for | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
getting around. But you probably haven't seen one quite like this. | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
:23:19. | :23:43. | ||
This has 110 batteries and will do eight mph on the road and you have | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
got to tax it as disabled. It is governed to four mph on the road | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
with a switch. With 20 years of mobility scooter | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
sales behind him, Andrew Wylie thought it was about time people | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
had more choice in their mode of transport. At �5,000, the Harley | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
lookalike isn't cheap, but he's already sold one and now he's | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
moving into designs of his own. had a lot of accident damaged | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
vehicles which were not worth repairing, so we put something for | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
fun on this. How fast will that go? It is currently on 10 mph which can | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
be governed down to four. Could you sup it up? Yes. It could go up to | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
20 mph. Do you think you will get customers? Yes, I do. A lot of | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
people take photographs on the street. Definitely. I think they | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
are absolutely brilliant. I have never seen them before. Berry, very | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
good. I think kids will love this. A Harley Davison, if I was younger, | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
I would get it! Andrew's now working on other | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
scooter conversions including an articulated lorry and a Formula One | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
racing car, and if you have an idea for something special, he says | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
he'll see what he can do. Damian is thinking of trading in his car now! | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
Time for the weather and how is the Chester-le-Street cricket looking | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:29. | ||
Not many surprises as far as temperatures went, daytime figures | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
in one area at 18.5 degrees Celsius slightly short of where they should | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
have been and sunshine similarly in short supply. In County Durham, | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
that is only a fraction of the sunshine we should see. Haydon | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
Bridge had more than double what they should normally have in the | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
way of rain and that is repeated in many areas. Plenty of cloud around | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
today and more into the evening. This band of rain from the north | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
and west slowly working south and east but many areas will stay dry. | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
Lot of cloud around and it will not be cold, temperatures around 12 | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Celsius a typical overnight low. Southerly breezes as well and it | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
stays fairly mild tomorrow but the rain slowly edges its way south and | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
east and most places will see rain through the day and the cricket at | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
Chester-le-Street will certainly see some art breaks through the | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
afternoon. At the end of the day, we will see some drier interludes | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
getting into northern parts, possibly some light brightness as | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
well but this weather front marks the boundary between warm air to | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
the south and cooler fresh air to the north. You might escape the | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
worst of the rain right on the coast. Not wall-to-wall sunshine | :26:53. | :27:01. | |
either. It is the cold front that is the separation between the warm | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
air and the cooler air as we head into Sunday. A bit of a gap in | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
between the weather systems and there may have got cooler, fresh | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
air coming from the West as we head into the next part of the week. | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
After rain for most of us on Saturday, temperatures in the mid- | :27:19. | :27:29. | |
:27:29. | :27:29. |
