Welcome to Friday's BBC Look North. In the headlines: Jail for the | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
young driver who knocked down and killed a nine-year-old boy as he | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
played on a housing estate. Council cuts planned which will | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
affect some of the most vulnerable in our community. People will be | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
isolated and lonely. There is a lack of understanding all round. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Shock and disgust as vandals target a memorial to a soldier who helped | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
victims of the Holocaust. And we investigate sightings of the | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
world's largest owl on the loose in South Tyneside. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
In sport, the region hosts three big derby matches this weekend but | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
only one of them will see the winner reach the fifth round of the | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :01:01. | ||
FA Cup. Will it be Middlesbrough or the Black Cats in Sunday's draw? | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
A pizza delivery driver is starting a prison sentence tonight after he | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
knocked down and killed a nine- year-old boy as he played on a | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
Teesside housing estate. James Burns, who is 19, was driving at | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
more than 50 mph when he drove into Brandon Maggs, who was crossing the | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
road on his scooter. The accident started at the start of the school | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
summer holidays and has led for calls for speed limits to be | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
reduced to 20 mph on our housing estates. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
19-year-old James Burns was working as a pizza delivery driver when, on | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
15th July last year, he drove on to a housing estate. It was a late | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
summer's afternoon on a fine day at the start of the school holiday | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
season. He negotiated a bend at the same time as Brandon Maggs began to | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
cross the road on his scooter. He saw the boy and try to stop but | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
went into a skid. He could not avoid the collision. Brandon Maggs | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
suffered severe head injuries. Despite the help of paramedics and | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
the air ambulance, he was pronounced dead. The court was told | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
that James Burns must have been travelling at at least 51 mph, this | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
on a housing estate with a speed limit of 30 mph. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
Sentencing him to three years of youth custody, the judge said that | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
this was an accident caused by excessive speed. He would have to | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
live with the fact that he had taken the life of a young boy with | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
great potential. Afterwards, Brandon's family had this to say | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
through a police liaison officer. Burns will now have time to reflect | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
on the consequences of his actions. I hope this sends a message out to | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
other young men of his age who think it is cool to drive in excess | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
of the speed limit, beyond their capabilities, and to treat built up | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
areas as a race track, with no thought for children playing in the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
area. James Barnes says he does not know | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
why he was driving so fast. He has not been behind the wheel of a car | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
since. -- James Burns. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Local councils are cutting that their social care budget, which | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
pays for things like meals-on- wheels, day-care and home helps. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Darlington and Middlesbrough councils have already removed the | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
upper limits on some charges, while Northumbria and Cumbria -- | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Northumberland and Cumbria may follow suit. Charities say it | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
affects the most vulnerable people. Norma and Jean are on a regular | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
trip. They both live on their own in Darlington and can go days | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
without seeing anyone. But today is a good day because they are making | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
a trip to see friends at a day-care centre. Coming here is becoming | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
more expensive for both of them. A few months ago Jean was paying | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
:04:16. | :04:18. | ||
nothing, now she has to stump up �60 a month. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Darlington, Middlesbrough and North Yorkshire have already scrapped | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
their weekly care charge limit. As budgets are squeezed, other | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
councils want to follow suit. Northumberland wants to scrap its | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
cap, and Cumbria council wants to remove the cap over the next three | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
years. I think it is a false economy. The councils will end up | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
paying more in the long run because people will be isolated and lonely. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
There is a lack of understanding all round. At the local council, | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
they are facing nearly �11 million of cuts this year. They say they | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
have had no choice but to rip -- to increase charges because the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Government is not giving them enough money to cope with increased | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
demand. We have people with complex needs. We want people to remain in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
the community in their own homes and, as far as possible, prevent | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
them from going into a hospital. There is a cost to that. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
The Department of Health said that councils had a share of �7.2 | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
billion, which means they have enough to maintain the current | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
levels of access and eligibility. You can see more on that on Sunday | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
Politics this Sunday at midday on BBC One. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
A County Durham man has been charged with killing his baby son. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Charlie Cameron Clark lived in Gainford near Darlington with his | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
parents. He was five months old when he was admitted a hospital | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
with serious head injuries last year. He later died from his | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
injuries. Lee Clark, who is 27, was charged with manslaughter and is | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
due before Peterlee magistrates tomorrow. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
A new drug treatment for children with leukaemia is being trialled at | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
a Newcastle hospital. 15 children will receive the treatment at the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Great North Children's Hospital. The trial will also run at four | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
other hospitals around the country. Specialists say that, while they | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
are hopeful of success, there is a long way to go. It has been years | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
in development. We had the first trials in adults. It takes years | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
for a drug to develop and I think we really have to see and learn how | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
to use them to see whether they make a difference. If we really see | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
that they make a difference, that is the time when I get excited | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
about it. Middlesbrough's Gallery of Modern | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Art, MIMA, is celebrating its fifth anniversary this weekend. Another | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
reason for celebration - it has attracted more than 700,000 | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
visitors since it opened. Currently about 125,000 people a year come to | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
see its exhibitions, around 15,000 more than the annual target. It is | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
also claimed that the gallery helps to maintain Teesside's economy. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Five years ago there was something of a debate over a MIMA - was it | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
too expensive? Was Middlesbrough the right place? Would people come? | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Well, it seems that they have, more than 700,000 visitors. As a bonus, | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
MIMA is helping out the local economy, bringing in �1.3 million a | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
year. We do bring in a lot of money to the local economy, not just | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
Middlesbrough but the surrounding area. People visit as during the | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
day and sometimes stay overnight, combining as with other attractions | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
in the area. It has brought in a significant additional spend. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Perhaps the only argument that remains is that sometimes the | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
exhibitions are a little too obscure, not populist enough. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
would love people to give us comments about what they want to | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
see. We are still evolving as an organisation and understanding what | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
people expect to see and want to see. This group seems to have no | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
problem. A weekly meeting for young children, getting them used to the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
gallery experience. It is a fund group and it is always very | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
creative and enjoyable. You can hear, it is a lovely group to be | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
part of. It is gritting domestic -- getting the message out that we do | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
this, come along and enjoy it. children are encouraged to come | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
into the art gallery. They look at things and they know they have not | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
to touch. But they just really have a good time and thoroughly enjoy | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
themselves. After all the debate over MIMA, the building, the art, | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
the grants, that endorsement is surely something that cannot be | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
quibbled over. North Yorkshire police say they are | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
not ruling out the possibility that the vandalism of a sculpture in | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Scarborough was an anti-Semitic attack. The artwork, known locally | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
as Freddie, is in the town's North Bay. Yellow paint was thrown over | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
it last night. It was named after Freddie Gilroy, a soldier who | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
helped to liberate Jews from Belsen concentration camp in World War Two. | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. This is the scene that greeted | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
council cleaners this morning - a yellow gloss paint. As the Queen | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
has got to work, the residents reacted with outrage on Facebook | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
and Twitter. A local woman cash in her life savings to keep Freddie by | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
the sea. The attack has left her dismayed. I cannot believe it. I | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
just felt my heart dropping to my shoes. I said to my husband, we | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
will have to go down and see what has happened, although I did not | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
wish to see it at all. I felt too upset about it. | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
Freddie Gilroy was a coal miner turned soldier. He was one of the | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
first Allied troops to liberate the Belsen concentration camp. Marching | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
across northern Germany, he had little inkling of the horsey was to | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
uncover there. -- the horrors. There has been a lot of speculation | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
about why this has happened. Today is corrupt -- Holocaust Memorial | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
Day and yellow his a colour associated with the persecution of | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
the Jews. It is the colour of the start they were made to wear. | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
is disappointing but we will get past that. -- the colour of the | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
star they were made to wear. The police are keeping an open mind | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
as to the motive. They have certainly not ruled out an anti- | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Semitic motivation. The clean-up took several theres but was | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
:11:26. | :11:27. | ||
successful. -- several hours. Over 100 running enthusiast had | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
braved icy showers and wins to take part in the filming of a television | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
advert for Cumbrian sports manufacturer New Balance. It is | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
hoping to capitalise on the 22 of Olympics. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
For what seemed like a hours today, scores of runners shivered they're | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
both good -- shivered their way through the filming of a television | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
advert for local company New Balance. We have to look at | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
everything that we do. We have to constantly keep pushing our | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
wonderful work forced for increased performance all the time. We swim | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
against the tide as a company but we make it work. It is possible to | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
do it what we do here in West Cumbria. We have proved that of the | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
last 30 years. They are hoping that the advert in | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
the run-up to the Olympics will pay dividends. On a bitterly cold might | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
be, you have to admire the determination of these runners, | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
many of whom are local. They are all standing around in freezing | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
cold winds. We wanted to employ people locally. It is freezing and | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
I am thinking, that 60 quid, maybe it is not worth it. If you are used | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
to running on the fells, you get used to the wind and the rain. | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
New Balance sponsor a number of Olympic hopefuls. Some people tend | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
-- some of them came to see how the factory is making their dreams are | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
possibilities. It is nice to see you're equipment made locally. | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
-- your equipment. Still to come - the pen friend -- | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
pen friend, the cartoonist... I will be back with a full weekend | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:34. | ||
The party is trying to save Darlington Football Club have spent | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
the day in talks as a deadline nears. A consortium which wants to | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
put houses and a leisure facility on the stadium site and wants to | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
put the team on a smaller ground is thought to have held talks with | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
Darlington Council. Meanwhile, businessman Paul Wildes said he | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
would be meeting the chairman Reg Singh over a separate bid. A deal | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
must be reached by next week or Quakers will be liquidated. | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
A huge owl is on the loose in South Tyneside. It has attacked one local | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
birdwatcher and swooped at another group of people out on the Cleadon | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
Hills. It is an eagle owl, the world's largest owl, which is the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
size of an eagle, with a 6ft wingspan. They are native to | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
northern Europe but are commonly kept in captivity in the UK. Our | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
reporter is at Boldon Flats nature reserve tonight. You would not miss | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
it, which you? No, and I have been nervously looking over my shoulder | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
but the story is that two weeks ago a local bird watcher was out here | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
at Boldon Flats. He had noticed that the wild fowl have started | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
going down in number. He was checking on the ducks and he felt a | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
bump on his back. He thought somebody was attacking him. He | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
turned around and there was a huge owl coming at him. Who has | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
apparently been in the area for a year, it escaped from captivity. We | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
have some pictures to tell you what eagle owls are all about. They are | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
a magnificent predator at the very top of the food chain. Powerful | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
enough to prey on foxes, small deer and other birds of prey. Eagle owls | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
are found across northern Europe and Asia. They are not native to | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
the UK but captive birds owned by falconers who all bird collections | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
have escaped and bred in the British countryside. This pair | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
nested in North Yorkshire for almost a decade where they fed | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
their young are largely on rabbits. But those in urban areas have more | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
limited food choices. Cats are potential victims, or the ducks on | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
the Boldon Flats nature reserve. Towns mean people and the potential | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
for conflict. A large and powerful bird with a | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
very distinctive ear tufts and that is important because these four | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
young people actually saw the bird on Cleadon Hills on Sunday night. | :15:59. | :16:08. | |
What happened next? We went to see the male and on the way through the | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
field, it was fairly dark and I noticed something appear on the | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
horizon. We saw the distinctive beers. We thought it was a dog. One | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
of us thought it was a wall. I will not tell you who! When we were | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
about ten feet away we realised just that it was a large bird of | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
prey. Its wingspan was as large as my arm span. It flew off. It | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
swooped over and landed next to the mill. We followed it and managed to | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
get a shot a bit from about six feet away. Then it flew off and | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
stripped back at us. We hit the floor as fast as we could! It came | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
:17:09. | :17:10. | ||
out again. Might research on the internet... De owl has been on the | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
loose ball about a year. As yet, no attempts to recapture it. | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
The work of an award winning artist from Tyneside will soon be reaching | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
further afield. Paul Hutchinson works as a full-time illustrator, | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
captain some of the region's most famous faces. Now he has been asked | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
to help disadvantaged youngsters at the Ubuntu Education Project at | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
Port Elizabeth in South Africa. I just love people's faces. It is | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
nice to be able to focus in on some body. The digital world of artist | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
Paul Hutchinson in Whickham. It is a totally different world to be | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
very poor area of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. That is where Paul | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
has been asked to visit, to share his artistic talent. I love to see | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
kids enjoying themselves. The idea of going somewhere where kids | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
probably do not know what a caricatured years or do not know | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
much about art from other cultures, it would be great fun. And I am | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
encouraged to try it at. Certainly in South Africa it will be just pen | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
and paper and anything else that happens to be lying around, whether | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
it is stones or anything that happens to be lying around I am | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
happy to use. How will you help the children in Africa to draw? I am | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
interested to see what sort of things they like to draw. And | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
whether or not they are taught how to draw or whether they just have a | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
natural ability. That is the intriguing thing for me. Let's see | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
how you have done. Oh, wow! It is fantastic. It is really good. | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
Absolutely fantastic. Well done. so it is one he made earlier, but | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
the talent should shine through in South Africa. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
There is lots, and I mean lots, of local interest in football this | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
weekend. This weekend is FA Cup weekend and | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
the biggest tie in our region is the Wear-Tees derby at the Stadium | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
of Light on Sunday afternoon. To mark the occasion, which set up a | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
unique live three-way link between Look North and the BBC's local | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
radio stations, which cover Sunderland and Middlesbrough. First | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
let's look ahead to the fourth round tie. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Sunderland are at home but in the Premier League team and unlike the | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
bra they are on a pretty good run at the moment but this is the FA | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
Cup and the Derby as well. -- the Boro. It will not be easy. If | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Middlesbrough will be really up for it. We have to be up for it | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
ourselves. We desperately want to try to get through. You have had a | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
decent start to the year. We have hit a sticky patch of form and yet | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
sometimes derby games can be a bit of vote leveller. We need to go in | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
there and ask questions of them. Lee Cattermole, if he was not | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
playing for Sunderland he would be cheering on the Boro. I would love | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
to see them come back up, be where they have turned things round. | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
Things are going well and they have a good manager in Tony Mowbray. | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Pat Small's counterpart as captain on Sunday will be his best mate, | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
Matthew Bates. It is something about growing up as kids we never | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
thought would really happen. I wish him all the best all the time and | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
it will be a great occasion but as soon as the whistle goes week will | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
be challenging each other. But we will share a coffee after the game. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Our two radio stations, BBC Tees and BBC Newcastle are in the middle | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
of their evening sports shows. We are interrupting for just a couple | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
of minutes. In a moment we will have to Teesside but first, in the | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
BBC Newcastle studio, Simon Pryde has with him the one time | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Sunderland sticker that -- skipper, Gary Bennett. Plenty of Cup talk | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
:21:20. | :21:20. | ||
already? Yes, since 5:30pm. We're here every night. They know nails | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
his colours to the Sunderland mask but you also have a stake in the | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
Boro side? You s, my son. I think Sunderland will win. I think we are | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
going into the game with a lot of confidence and we have to look at | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Middlesbrough the last two or three games have been struggling to put a | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
result together. But form goes out the window but I think we have got | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
too much quality for them. So a Sunderland victory, your | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
confidently predicting? Yes, maybe 2-0 or 3-1. That has been the | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
general consensus, it has to be said. Premier League quality, at | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
home advantage, current form line all point towards a Sunderland | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
victory. Thank you. I am sure they will see Devenney on Teesside. Week | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
joined Mark and Craig. What is the feeling and the Boro camp? Boro had | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
nothing to lose. They are going in as the underdogs and great he did, | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
they will have a right good go. what does he know? They will attack | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
them and get at them and if they score the first goal and quiet and | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
the crowd down it could be a frustrating afternoon for them. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
3,000 Boro fans going. Could have been a lot more. Should have been a | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
lot more but I am sure there will be a fantastic atmosphere. I cannot | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
wait. And the new boy up front, he could make a difference? The yes, | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
we just expect the hat-trick of him and then everything will be rosy | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
again. So that is the way it looks here on Teesside. They might be | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Premier League but it is a derby, it is a cup, I think we know what | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
is going to happen! Thank you to everyone at BBC Tees and BBC | :23:06. | :23:16. | |

Newcastle. Grit commentary on both Kick-off is at 1:30pm. And BBC | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
Newcastle will also have commentary on Newcastle versus Brighton | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
tomorrow at teatime. Magpies boss Alan Pardew knows all about the | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
Seagulls from his time at Crystal Palace and Southampton. He is aware | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
of the success in not get competition it's the season after | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
Brighton beat Sunderland in the League Cup before pushing Liverpool | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
very hard in the following round. They are a technical team. They are | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
not in your face. They pass it, they are patient, they try to work | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
at things. You have to admire that. It is hard to do that in the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Championship and get success. It would be nice to get as close as we | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
can to Europe in the league and have to have as big a Cup run as we | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
can have and this is a tough game. If we can get through this hurdle, | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
we will be looking for a home draw and see where it takes us. | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
second of this weekend's three regional football derbies sees the | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
newly reappointed Hartlepool boss Neale Cooper attempt to stop Greg | :24:19. | :24:23. | |

And the Conference Premier while sixth placed Gateshead entertain | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Newport, many eyes will be on Darlington versus York City at the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Darlington arena, where hopes of saving their home club have risen | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
this week. There have been a couple of occasions where we have thought | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
this could be the last game so that sort of predicament has tended to | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
drift away now and we hope we will now concentrate on looking a bit | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
towards the future but we will not get too carried away until we know | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
exactly where we are. And away from football, can basketball's Durham | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Wildcats hold themselves of the bottom of the BBL table after | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
giving Newcastle Eagles a scare last weekend? The Wildcats a rebate | :25:01. | :25:10. | |
tonight before entertaining Cheshire Jets tomorrow. On a Sunday | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
afternoon Newcastle Falcons' director of rugby Gary Gold takes | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
charge of his first home game against Sale in the LV= Cup. | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
I liked the radio link-up! Nice to see our colleagues! | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
It is the end of January, so we should not be too surprised. A cold | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :25:47. | ||
Tonight it is a widespread frost right across the North East and | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Cumbria. A Met Office warning out for icy roads because we have had | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
some showers today and the ground might be damp or wet and make | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
freeze over fairly readily. As we had through the evening and | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
overnight, the last remnants of today's showers clear away and it | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
is dry and clear through the night. Since the reformers places. Fairly | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
icy in places. One or two mist or fog patches forming. Temperatures | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
down to minus one or minus two Celsius. One or two coastal areas | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
across the North Yorkshire coast for instance escaping a frost maybe | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
with an onshore breeze. A gold stock for most of us tomorrow, a | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
frosty start for many but a dry bright one. Any mist clearing by | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
the afternoon and then they rarely a cloud in the sky. -- barely a | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
cloud in the sky. Sunny but not warm. Temperatures struggle up to | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
five, maybe six Celsius at best, low forties Fahrenheit. As we head | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
through the weekend, a bit of a tug-of-war going on. These weather | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
fronts trying to bring it milder, windy and wetter weather in from | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
the West, a cold easterly wind coming in from the Continent trying | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
to keep that lot at bay. Where they meet up they could well be some | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
snow. At some places it made well be in to the working week. Saturday | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
is dry, bright but cold, more cloud around for Sunday, still on the | :27:17. | :27:22. |
