:01:19. > :01:22.walk and talk again and is back at home in County Durham with her 14-
:01:22. > :01:26.year-old daughter. Candace has been talking to Adrian Pitches about her

:01:49. > :01:54.Maddie's life. I remember her being two or three, with light brown hair
:01:54. > :02:00.that was curly. When she came in to the hospital in Leeds, I thought,

:02:10. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:14.it really? Mum said, yes. I said, imagined one-day opening the door

:02:23. > :02:27.yours. It is not like every day she is light, did this happen, did that

:02:32. > :02:36.because I am like the mum and she is like a daughter. It is like
:02:36. > :02:40.telling your daughter what happened, because she can't remember. This

:04:46. > :04:50.tonight with hypothermia after they were rescued from a swollen River
:04:50. > :04:52.in North Yorkshire last night. It was a dramatic night, with strong
:04:52. > :04:56.winds and swollen rivers causing flooding and other disruption
:04:56. > :05:00.across the region. In total five people were rescued in three
:05:00. > :05:03.separate incidents. We'll hear more from our reporter Sharon Barbour
:05:03. > :05:07.shortly - but first, a number of flood warnings and alerts remain in
:05:07. > :05:17.place across our region. Of most concern this evening is the River
:05:17. > :05:20.Ouse in York - from there, Cathy Killick sent us this update.
:05:20. > :05:27.Yesterday, there was a deluge in the Dales, and this is the
:05:27. > :05:32.consequence. Rapidly rising river levels downstream here in York. The
:05:32. > :05:36.rain was blinding yesterday, it was just pouring off the hills. This
:05:36. > :05:40.was the Swale last night, a foaming torrent that looked in danger of
:05:40. > :05:46.sweeping away bridges in its path. 12 hours later, everything is
:05:46. > :05:50.totally benign. The pictures you are seeing after an Swale bail to
:05:50. > :05:54.stop at one point, the water was so high, the bridge was in danger, and
:05:54. > :06:01.the villagers were fearful. They are heaving a sigh of relief now.
:06:01. > :06:05.It was just horrendous. It was lapping up over that Walid you can
:06:05. > :06:09.see there, and the wall over there, it was going straight into my
:06:09. > :06:13.neighbour's garden. Ever seen anything like it in nine years?
:06:13. > :06:17.Nothing like it. It is quite frightening, actually. Did you
:06:17. > :06:23.think the bridge would go? didn't, but there was a lot of
:06:23. > :06:27.pressure on it, and it was a very scary moment. That pulse of water
:06:27. > :06:32.has now worked its way through the resistance of the Dales and is now
:06:32. > :06:37.writing here. It will peak at seven a clock. The Environment Agency
:06:37. > :06:41.says the usual areas in York will flood, but nothing unusual for the
:06:42. > :06:45.time of year. It is our first taste of winter.
:06:45. > :06:48.It was a busy night for emergency services across the region - with
:06:48. > :06:51.roads closed and rivers swollen At the height of the storm, a car was
:06:51. > :07:01.swept into the River Ure at Thornton Rust at Wensleydale,
:07:01. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :07:07.inside three people. One made it to safety. North Yorkshire police
:07:07. > :07:11.called on RAF Leconfield, who rescued two from the water - a
:07:11. > :07:16.third made it to safety. By the time we got there it was about an
:07:16. > :07:22.hour after, and I'm not entirely sure, but the river had definitely
:07:22. > :07:26.flooded its banks, about two or three feet either side of the river.
:07:26. > :07:31.Tonight, we understand two people remain in hospital with hypothermia.
:07:31. > :07:35.North Yorkshire police set up a silver command. In total, five
:07:35. > :07:40.people were rescued in three separate incidents. Across the
:07:40. > :07:44.region, road and rail travel was disrupted. In Cumbria, the bad
:07:44. > :07:50.weather caused us cause of road closures to stop 40 tons of earth
:07:50. > :07:56.had to be moved from the road at Garrigill. The floodwaters are
:07:56. > :08:00.receding tonight, but the snow has arrived. This was the scene earlier.
:08:00. > :08:10.Freezing conditions tonight bring warnings of black eyes, with
:08:10. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:13.drivers being urged to take care. Well, tonight is set to be the
:08:13. > :08:16.coldest night of the winter so far with temperatures likely to dip to
:08:16. > :08:23.as low as -4 Celsius. Let's hear the detail from Hannah Bayman,
:08:23. > :08:29.who's out and about in Newcastle tonight. Thanks. Yes, it is fine on
:08:29. > :08:35.the ice here in Newcastle, but the ice by tomorrow morning might not
:08:35. > :08:39.be quite so firm. We have a weather warning in place for icy patches,

:09:06. > :09:08.or shut the hospital.'' That's the promise from one of our health
:09:08. > :09:12.trusts after it was claimed plans were being discussed to move
:09:12. > :09:19.services away from Northallerton's Friarage Hospital. The South Tees
:09:19. > :09:21.NHS Trust needs to find �30 million of savings next year. It's admitted
:09:21. > :09:25.discussing reducing the number of beds at the hospital, but says
:09:25. > :09:28.there are no plans to downgrade it. Stuart Whincup reports.
:09:28. > :09:31.The Friarage's future has been the subject of rumour and speculation
:09:31. > :09:34.since a letter was sent to the Richmond MP William Haig. It
:09:34. > :09:36.claimed the A&E department would be scaled down, services would be
:09:36. > :09:40.transferred to Middlesbrough and the Friarage would become a
:09:40. > :09:43.glorified cottage hospital. Nonsense, says the local health
:09:43. > :09:53.trust. Even so, the unions are demanding guarantees about it
:09:53. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :09:58.future. Rumour create instability, it creates fair. When we found out
:09:58. > :10:05.about this letter, week called for immediate and urgent talks with the
:10:05. > :10:09.trust. We have had meetings, it has been raised, we have not had any
:10:09. > :10:12.cast-iron guarantees. The Friarage covers a huge geographical area of
:10:12. > :10:16.North Yorkshire, serving around 120,000 people. The Trust insists
:10:16. > :10:19.there are now plans to downgrade it. But it says it is considering
:10:19. > :10:27.reducing the number of beds at the hospital and can't rule out future
:10:27. > :10:31.changes. I have never, in the eight years we have managed at the Friar
:10:31. > :10:35.rich, given absolute guarantees about No change. We have changed
:10:35. > :10:38.things. Patient to have heart attacks in North Yorkshire go
:10:38. > :10:43.straight to the James Cook, and they are demonstrably better
:10:43. > :10:46.survival rates. But we also understand as a trust that the
:10:46. > :10:51.people living in rural North Yorkshire, they need access to a
:10:51. > :10:55.local hospital. Discussions are now taking place over how the trust is
:10:55. > :11:00.going to save the �69 million needed over the next three years.
:11:00. > :11:04.It seems likely that changes will be made in the future here, but the
:11:04. > :11:12.trust stresses that no decisions will be made without proper public
:11:12. > :11:15.consultation. More students from the North East than anywhere in the
:11:15. > :11:18.country have decided not to go to university since the introduction
:11:18. > :11:20.of tuition fees. The Labour party says the figures
:11:20. > :11:24.from UCAS show overall UK applications to university have
:11:24. > :11:27.fallen by 15 per cent, but the number in the North East is down by
:11:27. > :11:31.21 per cent compared to this time last year - the biggest fall in the
:11:31. > :11:36.country. The Government says as the main UCAS deadline isn't until mid-
:11:36. > :11:41.January, it was too early to say this is the case. UCAS also say it
:11:41. > :11:44.is too early to predict any effects from changes in tuition fees.

:21:33. > :21:38.and West Ham. But Martin's winner has given the boss of fresh hope of
:21:38. > :21:45.capturing the promotion favourites. We did lose to West Ham and it
:21:45. > :21:51.looks as if there would be a gap opening, and yet we both lost that
:21:51. > :21:57.weekend in the 90 minutes up. Malaury Martin smashed run in the
:21:57. > :22:05.top corner and we took all three points. Eight rest of fate.
:22:05. > :22:15.There will be full coverage of all those matches on your local BBC
:22:15. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:22.Rugby Union finally and the new England coach Stuart Lancaster has
:22:22. > :22:26.insisted the door remains open for Jonny Wilkinson ahead of the 6th
:22:26. > :22:31.Nations campaign in February. The fly half was back at Kingston Park
:22:31. > :22:34.last night with his club friends giants Toulon. Also there was
:22:34. > :22:40.marked tulip. Not a night for the faint-hearted.
:22:40. > :22:44.Gales, rain showers and cold temperatures but 5,500 souls turned
:22:44. > :22:51.up with the hope of seeing one of the former crowd favourites Jonny
:22:51. > :22:55.Wilkinson, of the bench. In fact, they were to wait in vain as well
:22:55. > :23:02.consent never got to come on. Although another ex-Falcon Carl
:23:02. > :23:06.Hayman did play. Wilkinson's replacement as Number Ten Jimmy
:23:06. > :23:11.Gopperth was never going to find kicking easy on a night like this.
:23:11. > :23:15.But he did find his range in the second half to give the Falklands a
:23:15. > :23:20.six points lead in a match ruined by the weather. All the kids came
:23:20. > :23:25.at once with Toulon producing the home side's advantage. Then it was
:23:25. > :23:29.the French side stand to defend for their lives. A great result for the
:23:29. > :23:34.man of the match. We did the right things at the right times and got a
:23:34. > :23:39.result. These blocks in Europe are a welcome break from the
:23:39. > :23:43.Premiership. We want the results still, but the blocked over
:23:43. > :23:48.Christmas is a massive for us because if we can get through that,
:23:48. > :23:52.we can push on after new year and pushed ourselves up the table.
:23:52. > :24:02.would have been nice to hear from will concerned but when Johnny met

:24:09. > :24:19.Jennie, it was not to be. What a Very continental! We are a bit
:24:19. > :24:19.
:24:19. > :24:24.worried for Hannah but not because of the weather. Look where she is.
:24:24. > :24:28.Trying to grace filly slide towards you for the weather forecast. We
:24:28. > :24:33.could all be slipping and sliding around on the ice this time
:24:33. > :24:38.tomorrow. It will be a frosty and cold night with yet another weather
:24:38. > :24:42.warning from the Met Office. This time a yellow warning for ice,
:24:42. > :24:47.particularly for Cumbria and North Yorkshire. Overnight temperatures
:24:47. > :24:55.are set to dip to their lowest so far this winter, down to minus
:24:55. > :25:01.three Celsius and maybe even minus five. A bitter cold night
:25:01. > :25:06.underneath these beautiful starry skies. 84 men and you might seem
:25:06. > :25:10.Jupiter shining brightly as well, but it is these clear skies that
:25:10. > :25:18.will allow the temperatures to plummet. This evening there will be
:25:18. > :25:23.a few showers in the West, over the North Pennines. It is these as they
:25:23. > :25:27.pass through and then freeze that will create those slippery
:25:27. > :25:32.conditions on the roads first thing tomorrow. Great fun here tonight,
:25:32. > :25:38.skating on the ice, tomorrow morning might not be so much fun if
:25:38. > :25:43.you're out in your car. For tomorrow, it is a bright morning
:25:43. > :25:49.for much of North Yorkshire. Sunny spells. Cloudy in the West with a
:25:49. > :25:53.few more wintry flurries making driving conditions tricky. It is
:25:53. > :25:57.cold everywhere, the top temperature not more than three or
:25:57. > :26:03.four degrees above freezing. A touch milder in the West but
:26:03. > :26:08.everywhere feeling cold. That's Saturday, an icy start.
:26:08. > :26:14.Temperatures very low to begin the day. Further forward, the weekend
:26:14. > :26:19.gets a bit milder on Sunday. Bright skies for much of the north-east
:26:19. > :26:23.but cloudy a further west and south. Monday, bright, crisp and clear
:26:23. > :26:28.everywhere. Expect more overnight frost and they could be a dusting
:26:28. > :26:34.of snow on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Looking pretty
:26:34. > :26:41.wintry over the next few days but lot to enjoy here at the Centre for
:26:41. > :26:46.Life in Newcastle. The ice rink has just opened.
:26:46. > :26:50.Show we stay and watch that? A last look at tonight's headlines:
:26:50. > :26:54.Britain became the only member of the EU to roll-out signing a new
:26:54. > :26:58.deal designing to solve the euro- zone debt crisis.
:26:58. > :27:02.And a year after a car accident that put her in a coma and nearly
:27:02. > :27:07.ended her life, this woman has learned to walk and talk again and
:27:07. > :27:10.is back home. It its fingers crossed for three
:27:10. > :27:15.singers from the north-east who have made it through to The X
:27:16. > :27:21.Factor finals this weekend. Deeside is backing Amelia Lily. Tyneside
:27:21. > :27:25.will be cheering on the group Little Mix, two members of which
