outgoings in the new transfer Two people are dead and two others | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
are seriously injured after an horrific, early morning crash in | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Cumbria. It happened on the A7 at Blackford, north of Carlisle, at | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
around 7.30. A mini bus, a car and a lorry were involved. A woman in | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
her 20s and a man in his 40s were killed. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
The road has been closed for most of the day. Our reporter Alison | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
Freeman is live at the scene now. Alison, what's the latest? It has | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
been a terrible day here. Two people lost their lives in that | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
crash that happened around at 20 to 8 this morning. Despite that crash | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
:01:39. | :01:42. | ||
happening, the road has been closed all day. Investigators have been on | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
the scene up trying to work out exactly what happened. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
It was a difficult scene that faced officers. A collision between a | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
lorry, a minibus and a car on a busy route in Cumbria. The debris | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
showed the ferocity of the impact. The lorry driver, a man in his 40s, | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
lost his life. His vehicle came right off the road into a field. A | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
woman in her 20s who had been travelling on the bus also died at | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
the scene. The lorry was being driven north on | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the A7 when, for some reason, the police don't know why, it crashed | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
into this minibus. The driver of a car also involved escaped with just | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
minor injuries, but the passenegers on the bus weren't so lucky. The | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
56-year-old bus driver from Newcastleton suffered serious chest | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
and leg injuries. A 61-year-old man from Canonbie was also seriously | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
hurt. Both are being treated at Cumberland Infirmary. A 33-year-old | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
:02:51. | :02:52. | ||
woman woman from Newcastleton escaped with minor injuries. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
I think we were lucky there were not more serious injuries. I | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
understand there were only four or five people on the minibus. It was | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
not fool. Was the ice to blame? It's only | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
speculation at this stage, but our officers are investigating. We | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
would appeal for anyone who saw the accident to get in touch. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
The clear-up operation went on throughout the day as officers | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
:03:34. | :03:38. | ||
tried to piece together how and why this terrible crash happened. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Police do not know exactly what happened. What will be key to | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
finding out is if people who were at the seams of what happened come | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
forward. The police want anyone who has any information to speak to | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
them. It's a budget reduction of nearly | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
�14 million. And it means Middlesbrough will face cuts to | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
services across the board. Sports and leisure facilities will be | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
closed, and council tax will rise by 3.5% from next April. The town's | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
mayor, Ray Mallon, says his administration has been forced to | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
make some extremely difficult choices. Peter Lugg reports. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
The headlines made grim reading. A 3.5% rise in council tax and cuts | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
to services right across the borough. Sports and leisure | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
facilities, crossing patrols, street wardens and CCTV. Among the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
casualties, the Middlesbrough deaf centre and the Clairville Stadium, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
the latter to be replaced sometime in the future by a state-of-the-art | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
sports village. But today's users were unconvinced. They might shut | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
this term and nothing else will get build. -- shut this down. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
The council will end its funding for the Park End community centre, | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
but remains hopeful it will stay open. The council calls this its | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
big society solution. They give up the lease here and hand it back to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
the residents themselves allowing them to take over the running of | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
the building. But we will be get the money from? -- but where will | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
we get? We do not know what is going to happen. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
The Southlands Centre, though, will stay open as will a number of | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
branch libraries. The mayor says the town has done the best it could | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
under difficult circumstances. whole economic landscape has been | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
transformed the present time. We will never get back to where we | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
wear. We were a country that lived on debt, and where we are now is | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
not normal. Hopefully, we will be balanced ourselves in the future. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
In total �13.8 million in savings with three more rounds of cuts | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
:06:07. | :06:13. | ||
still to go. Peter Lugg, BBC Look Most of the Alcan aluminium smelter | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
in Northumberland is still out of action tonight more than 36 hours | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
after a massive power cut at the plant. A spokesman for the | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
operators says work is continuing to try to restore electricity to | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
about three-quarters of the site. The owners, Rio Tinto Alcan, want | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
to close the smelter next year, with the loss of 500 jobs. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
New figures show that we spent less money in the shops last month | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
despite it being the run-up to the usual festive frenzy. Retail sales | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
fell by 0.4% in November compared with October. And the statistics | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
indicate that our high streets and shopping centres could be in for a | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
tough Christmas. However, in our region, one shopping centre is | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
defying that gloomy trend. Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
reports. Look at the figures and they tell | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
you the retail market is weak. Come to Carlisle's shopping centre and | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
the crowds tell you the opposite. The Lanes has seen growing crowds | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
of shoppers for a number of weeks, pretty much from last month's | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
strike day. We had a 42 per cent increase in football that day. Then | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
the Friday and Saturday of that week, every day was a record day | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
:07:25. | :07:26. | ||
for the year in terms of foot fall. So what explains that contrary | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
behaviour? Well, one reason is that Carlisle's shoppers are paying with | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
cash, more than with credit cards. And that big rise in sales | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
coincided with many people's payday, suggesting that shoppers had | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
weighed up in advance precisely when they were going to start | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Christmas shopping. And there's another theory. The mild weather | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
that depressed sales in much of the country turned with a vengeance in | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
Cumbria last month. You notice a difference in the mindset with the | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
cold burst that has been kicking in and the mindset is really good now. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
There is a real appetite for it within the store. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
And in this shop, part of a national chain, there's no | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
discounting going on. Very unusual. Just a lot of canny buying, with an | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
eye on the post-Christmas sale. It sells the second highest amount of | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
gift cards out of the whole nationwide chain. I think our | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
shoppers a lot cleverer with their money compared to people down south. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
They probably just buy it, whereas up here, we are more clever with | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
our cash so a gift card is a great gift because you can give it at | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Christmas and that person can get what they want and they will get | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
double for their money. So Carlisle's shopping appears more | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
than buoyant. The real test though comes in January with the release | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
:08:53. | :08:53. | ||
of another set of stats - December's retail sales figures. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
The leader of Sunderland City Council says the new bridge that | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
will span the River Wear in 2015 could bring 6,000 jobs to the city. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
The Government announced yesterday that it was allocating more than | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
�80 million to the new Wear bridge. Construction work should start next | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
year. Adrian Pitches reports from It will be the tallest bridge in | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
England with twisted steel towers reaching 600 feet into the air. But | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
it won't be just a landmark. This new transport route could transform | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
the south bank of the River Wear. The north bank has already being | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
regenerated with enterprise parks booming there. Here on the South | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
Bank, this is where investment is needed. The council says the new | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
bridge will bring investment and thousands of jobs potentially. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
need to open up the south bank of the river, that used to be the | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:03. | ||
industrial heart of the city. The Pallion New Road site. It is pretty | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
landlocked it there with the road network. If we can open it up, we | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
can bring in jobs. But do the people of Sunderland | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
think they need a new bridge? think it does, for the jobs as well. | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
It will bring employment into Sunderland. At the moment, with the | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
economy, it needs a bit of a lift. A lot of people come from different | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
:10:41. | :10:43. | ||
ends of the North East. At the moment, it is too congested. People | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
might just come and visit to look. The North East is defined by its | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
iconic bridges. The new Wear crossing looks set to become | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
another one. Adrian Pitches, BBC Look North, Sunderland. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
You're watching Look North. Still to come this Thursday evening. Joe | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
McElderry's live in the studio to talk about his latest venture. It's | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
a messy picture weatherwise, but it will certainly stay cold. | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:21. | ||
For many of us, Christmas Day involves lots of eating and | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
drinking in a warm house, surrounded by loved ones. But for | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
hundreds of homeless people in the North, the day will be very | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
different. Help is at hand though from the kind-hearted volunteers at | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
the People's Kitchen in Newcastle. They look after some of those who | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
are at their most vulnerable at this time of year. Stephanie Lloyd | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
has been to the centre as part of our series of films to find the | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
:11:50. | :12:13. | ||
A lot of dancing and a lot of saving. Just a lot of happiness. | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
lively jazz band provides the music at a Christmas party. | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
At first glance, it's like any carol service. But behind every | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
face here there's a story of hardship and homelessness. However, | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
tonight, all that matters is celebrating Christmas and | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
friendship. Some have got a bed in a hostel - | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
the lucky ones. Others still face life on the streets. Hearty meals | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
are prepared for them by chefs from a local department store. They're | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
:12:44. | :12:49. | ||
served up underneath the railway arches. When they come here, they | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
come to our home were people laugh them and look after them. The party | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
is the culmination of that. All year round, the People's | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Kitchen volunteers work with hundreds of disadvantaged people, | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
and surprisingly, 60% of those helped are under the age of 24. | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
Like 21 year-old Daniel. I am in a hostel. It means a lot to me. It | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
:13:19. | :13:20. | ||
needs help, support, friends. It is just absolutely brilliant. They | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
helped me with bits of furniture. I was homeless. They have kept coming | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
back. If it wasn't for the volunteers, everybody would be in | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :13:45. | ||
trouble, there would be no where. If it wasn't for the volunteers, we | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
would be here. More than 100 volunteers who give | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
up their time to provide friendship and food and, over 25 years, many | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
lives have been transformed. Last week, we did carol-singing. A lady | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
came up with a pushchair who opened her purse and gave me some money. | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
She said, I used to the homeless and came to you. She walked off, | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
reasonably dressed with a child in a pushchair. She was a success. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Colin is one of several volunteers who will be giving up his Christmas | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
Day to help. When they go round, they say you do so much good. But | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
that is rubbish, because we get so more much -- so much more out of it | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
than we give her. They it is bitterly cold. But people here face | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
that every single night. The volunteers do not get paid, but | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
they say they get much more in return. Friendship and the | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
knowledge that they are showing a lot of people that they care. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Some terrific work there. And we'll bring you more stories on | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
the true spirit of Christmas right up to the big day. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Still on a big theme, a host of Tyneside celebrities are starring | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
in a new DVD which is in the shops for Christmas and is raising cash | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
for charity. Big River Big Songs features Sting, Jimmy Nail, Mark | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Knopfler and Joe McElderry among others. We'll talk to Joe here in | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
the studio in a moment. But first, we went along to meet the two men | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
behind the DVD - Lindisfarne's Ray Laidlaw and top music video | :15:23. | :15:33. | |
:15:33. | :16:02. | ||
MUSIC. Blaydon Races, it is one hell of a song. It sums up | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
everything that is great about Newcastle to me. | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
:16:17. | :16:35. | ||
But the one I love is to meet the # I came along... # | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
:16:45. | :17:01. | ||
I love this stuff. I love this It is such beautiful Geordie | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
musical humour. -- music-hall humour. Another one from the DVD I | :17:10. | :17:20. | |
:17:20. | :17:27. | ||
love is still I love him. She performs it beautifully. # I'll go | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
:17:37. | :17:43. | ||
We asked Joe McElderry to be part of this. The only song he wanted to | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
do was Big River. # I want you all to know that I'm so very proud. | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
# This was a very big river. # But that was long ago. | :17:53. | :18:03. | |
:18:03. | :18:14. | ||
# That's not now it... In my heart I know it will rise | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:25. | ||
Great voices. We had a lot of fun doing it. It is a celebration of | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
the music of Tyneside. We were so pleased to do it. I could not put | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
:18:42. | :19:01. | ||
Well I'm delighted to say Joe McElderry, one of the stars of that | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
DVD, is with me in the studio now. How did you get involved in it, | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
Joe? It was a lot of fun. I was asked by the guys if I wanted to be | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
a part of it. I am all for putting the North East on the map. It is a | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
great thing to celebrate songs from here so I jumped at the opportunity. | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
I came up from London in between rehearsals. They always all I said | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
I would do is Big River because it is such a good song. I was the sure | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
of it was going to be included. -- I was not sure if it was going to | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
be included. It's not the only thing you're | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
doing at the moment - the Classic Album is selling nicely and so is | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
the Christmas Album? Yes, it has been a brilliant here. I am looking | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
forward to some time off at Christmas. | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
And South Shields is in the news again! Jade and Perrie from Little | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Mix, following in your footsteps and winning X-Factor - that's | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
:20:17. | :20:18. | ||
extraordinary! I think the girls are incredibly talented. But people | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
in the North East are extremely supportive. The girls deserve to | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
them. They did incredibly well. I am really good friends with Jade. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
It is quite strange watching one of my friends go through. I am sure | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
they will do amazingly well. The girls have been catapulted into | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
a whole new world - any advice on how to cope with it all? I give | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
them some advised to start them they went to London. It is quite a | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
stressful time. This next week especially. But it is brilliant. | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
is a different world, you are suddenly different world of | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
property. The decree that you would not have expected. -- it is a | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
career. They're hoping to have a Christmas | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
number 1 with their new single - any chance of Big River being | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
released? It is not planted to be a single, but I will definitely | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
:21:34. | :21:34. | ||
perform it in my shows. Great to see you again. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
On to another young man enjoying life at the moment! Going to | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Buckingham Palace to receive one of the highest awards for bravery | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
would make for an unforgettable day in anyone's book. But for one | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
soldier, it got even better. After receiving his award, he went down | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
on one knee and proposed to his Geordie girlfriend and won a | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
fiancee to go with his Military Cross. Gerry Jackson has the story. | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
He got this for his bravery under fire. She got this for his bravery | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
at the Palace. Glasgow born Bryan Johnson had just been presented | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
with the rare Military Cross by the Prince of Wales. The Royal Scots | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
private had rescued a wounded comrade after their patrol was | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
ambushed in Afghanistan. But after the medal ceremony, the pressure | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
wasn't over. With Prince Charles, I was all right. I knew that was | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:33. | ||
coming. But proposing, my heart stopped. For Kirstie Ward, from | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Newcastle, her pride in her soldier boyfriend could not have been any | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
greater until, suddenly, he was her fiance. I just wanted the day to be | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
about him, but he turned it around. And to do it in front of so many | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :23:01. | ||
people in such a high class plays as well, it was the biggest shock. | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Kirstie describes her husband-to-be as amazing. He's probably earned | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
enough brownie points to be getting on with! | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
It's just over two weeks before the transfer window reopens. And | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Newcastle United Manager Alan Pardew says one player will | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
certainly come in, maybe two. But that's if they don't lose | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
anybody. After their great start to the season, there's increasing | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
speculation that some of their players could be transfer targets | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
themselves. We have some players here that top clubs will be | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
interested in. But they will have to be a lot of money to take | :23:28. | :23:38. | |
:23:38. | :23:45. | ||
anybody out of here. We are always on our guard. The players are all | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
very important. Blyth Spartans have parted company | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
with their manager, Steve Cuggy, after just seven months in charge | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
at Croft Park. Cuggy picked up only two wins from his 20 league games | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
in charge, leaving the club bottom of the Blue Square Bet North. The | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
former Sunderland player previously enjoyed success as Whitely Bay's | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
assistant boss when the club won the FA Vase three years running. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Rugby Union finally, and the Newcastle Falcons are gearing up | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
for their rematch with Jonny Wilkinson's Toulon in the south of | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
France. Although 6 points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership, Alan | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
Tait's side have performed well in the Challenge Cup. They currently | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
top their group after beating Toulon 6-3 in the first leg at | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
Kingston Park. I think they will look to relieve | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
the roll the ball about and play in the style that French sides are | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
accustomed to. But that is good for us. I do not want to go down there | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
and pick up any injuries. The more open the game, the better it is | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
sometimes. He was well wrapped up sometimes. He was well wrapped up | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
Yes, very necessary. It is a bit of a messy picture today. Some chaotic | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
skies this afternoon. Over the next few days, there will be some sleet | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
and snow, some icy lights. But one thing is for certain, it will stay | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
cold. As we heard through this evening -- as we head through this | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
:25:33. | :25:34. | ||
evening, wintry showers moving him. A mixture of sleet and snow over | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
high ground. Temperatures falling to freezing. Widespread ice in the | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
north of the region. Not such a problem for the south. After the | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
Cold start tomorrow morning, still a lot of showers around. Snow makes | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
him around the showers. Temperatures will struggle once | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
again, typically around five degrees. The wind is coming more | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
from the north. And that is a trained that carries on through the | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
weekend. It will be cold with the wind coming down from that | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
direction. But we will get a bit of shelter from the high ground of | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
Scotland. There will be some wintry showers around, but it may be icy | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
roads and pavements that will be the major problem over the weekend. | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
For Saturday, a few showers with sleet here and there, but there | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
will be gaps in between and many places might makes the showers on | :26:50. | :26:58. | |
Saturday. Temperatures of four or five Celsius at very best. On | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
Sunday, the wind will turn to the north-west. That brings in a bit of | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
protection so we will miss most of the showers. Most places dry and | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
bright. But that a week winter sunshine will not help temperatures. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
That is the way it is looking for the weekend. We will keep you | :27:20. | :27:30. |
