Hello. Welcome to the programme. No budget will be for drivers to sing | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
record prices at the Poms especially in rural areas. It is | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
appalling, and that has been for a very long time. But if you can | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
afford to drive, good news for users of one of our main routes. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Underfunding cut puts into doubt the future of a charity caring for | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
more than 500 children. And what the Archbishop of York thinks about | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
being the bookmaker's favourite to become the next Archbishop of | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
Canterbury. I am not a horse, so you can do whatever you like. | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
counting the cost of the Derby dust up, big fines for Newcastle and | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
Sunderland, but good news as Middlesbrough help to burst the | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
exam's promotion double. -- Big Sam's. The Budget has been | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
delivered. The winners and losers have been declared. The analysis | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
will go on for days. But one bill which just seems to keep rising, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
for many people, is the cost of running a car. Petrol and diesel | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
prices are at a record high. And the Government is going ahead with | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
a 3% increase in fuel duty in August. In towns and cities, | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
there's a price war at the pumps. But people living in rural areas | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
can't shop around and pay, on average, 4p a litre more. The | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Countryside Alliance says the situation is becoming | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
"intolerable." This was the picture in Cumbria today. A typical garage | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
forecourt in Carlisle was charging 138p a litre for unleaded, and 144p | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
for diesel. Contrast that with Warwick Bridge - just five miles | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
outside Carlisle, where the price was 142p and 149p a litre. And this | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
is what drivers filling up there think about the price they have to | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
pay. It is absolutely appalling, and it has been for his very long | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
time. It has seriously affected my business and I have clients who | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
phone up and what the book or an event and one of the first things | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
they ask is, where are you based, and they say Cumbria, and they say, | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
oh. I am in the car quite a lot so that is obviously going to cost was | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
more. A everybody has to travel to work every day. You want to be | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
competitive. We paeon of tax as it is, the Government take enough tax | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
from us without paying for fuel duty. Well, that's the picture in | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Cumbria. Our Political Editor, Richard Moss is at another rural | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
filling station for us tonight, this time in Northumberland. | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
Richard. There has been some celebration year to do because this | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
put a station has reopened after a closing in at 2,000 and dick. Some | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
of the people living around here had to do a 70 mile round trip to | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
fill up their tanks. When this station close it was charging one | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
per and its expense for unleaded, now that is just short of �1.50. | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
There has been on a call around here for a cut in fuel duty to help | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
out in what is said to be a crisis in the countryside. Since 2008, | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
villagers have had to take long trips to fill their petrol tanks. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
To this have been left high and dry at have to rely on locals to bail | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
them out. On a Saturday and Sunday you have to travel a long way. It | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
is a good community spirit for finding spare fuel, but there is | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
only so much you can do. Sometimes you are spending many hours, | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
waiting for fuel. It has taken four years of hard work to get the | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
station open again. It is fantastic. It is a shining example for | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
communities around the country. Community cannot offer locals a | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
cut-price fuel and the cost of petrol is profoundly affecting this | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
there was. For our five houses have gone up for sale because people | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
travelling to work in Newcastle are starting to look at how much it is | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
costing them to travel to work are ready and they are looking for | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
:04:51. | :04:51. | ||
houses near to where they work. quite angry because we won't be | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
some fuel in a bit, because we're going to do the Kielder Forest | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
Drive. This couple think it is time for the Chancellor to offer drivers | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
a helping hand. It is ridiculous. It does not just affect people | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
driving, it affects the commercial vehicles who take goods round the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
country and tourism as well because people are not going to think about | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
coming out here when it is so expensive. For visitors and locals | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
it is good news that they can go up but what they really want is for | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
prices to be cut at the pumps. petrol is going to go up 3p in | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
August. Steve where who runs the village shop joins me now. The | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
country needs the money. Does it work for you here in Kielder | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
Forest? Yes, were Strafford on the roads, yes. However, we do not have | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
an option for public transport. It is limited. We are forced to use | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
Arona vehicles, and we have to drive further with more expensive | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
fuel. I think that price-capping in certain areas, in places -- should | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
be looked at strongly to make sure that places that are extremely | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
rural get some help. That would be beneficial. It is not a trying out | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
in England that the moment - which you want five there's less for | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
rural areas? I think we're a good case, good example. You can see, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
looking around, that it would help they are rare, both in business, | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
and for people living here. -- it would help the area. So this | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
station opening the end will mean shorter trips, but they will not be | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
playing in the West at the pump. Moving on to other budget matters, | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
the Chancellor said the Government's pressing ahead with | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
its plans for regional pay rates, which would mean public sector | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
workers in the North being paid less than equivalent staff in the | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
South. It could do eventually. The devil is in the detail. The | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Government has said that certain departments will be able to get the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
local peer rate. But at the moment most public sector workers have a | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
:07:27. | :07:27. | ||
frozen salary amounts anyway, but in places like the naughties and | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Cumbria public sector workers get higher pay than those in the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
private sector. This only applies to civil servants. The review of | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
pay for nurses and teachers will go on. And there was good news for | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
people struggling with slow internet broadband speeds - but | :07:49. | :07:59. | |
:07:59. | :08:04. | ||
only if you live in Newcastle. the don't knows what it will mean | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
for places like San the Mowats -- Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Carlisle, | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
York, whether they will get money to join this broadband fast lane in | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
:08:24. | :08:27. | ||
A North Yorkshire school, which was criticised for banning pupils from | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
wearing Help for Heroes wristbands has now made "Help for Heroes" its | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
official charity. This means pupils will now be able to wear the bands. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Outwood Academy in Ripon says the school continues to support the | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
local garrison, and is organising an event in Ripon Cathedral at the | :08:39. | :08:48. | |
end of the year to raise funds for the charity. Police have had more | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
than 30 calls following last night's BBC Crimewatch appeal to | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
catch the man who raped a woman in Whitley Bay. She was attacked, and | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
her male friend knocked out, early on Sunday 16th October. The suspect | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
is white, in his mid 20s, between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 9 inches tall, | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
and chubby - with dark brown hair. He spoke with a local accent. For | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
three years it's been the biggest construction project in the North | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
of England. The 50 miles an hour speed limit has frustrated | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
drivers.The miles of cones have driven them mad. But, by the end of | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
the month, the A1 upgrade in North Yorkshire will finally have been | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
completed. In fact, the latest section - between Baldersby and | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Gatenby - opened just this week. So what benefits will this �300 | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
million investment bring to the region? Peter Lugg's been finding | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
out. The cones are in full retreat. Day by day they're being collected | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
in their thousands.The matrix signs are being tested.The landscaping | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
sculpted. It's all on the list of things to do for the man preparing | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
to open a motorway. We have all the final finishes to do, which | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
involves the final brush up with road sweepers and traffic | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
management and spraying these planted areas to our right with | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
seed. Beside the motorway a wild life corridor.Verges planted with | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
oak and alder,blackthorn and holly.There are balancing ponds | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
which take away the carriageway surface water but in doing so | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:25. | ||
create a superb wildlife habitat. This work has been going on with | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
56,000 because each day passing by. And the new stretch of motorway us | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
to of miles long. There are 11 new bridges. At its peak, the project | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
:10:46. | :10:48. | ||
employs 700 people. And there were 10,000 road cones. This upgrade got | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
in just before the recession. Phase two between Leeming and Scotch | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Corner is on the back burner and any prospect of improving the A1 in | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Northumberland looks miles away. But even this fairly modest 12 | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
miles of new blacktop is expected to make a difference to the | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
regional economy. Being in the north-east as we are, anything that | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
improves links to the centre, particularly to the south-east and | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
the North-East can only be good for the economy and this project | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:37. | ||
certainly Tixall of the relevant boxes. -- ticks all. If it does | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
open at the end of the month as promised then the A1 upgrade will | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
have been compelted three months ahead of schedule, �10 million | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
under budget, but perhaps most important of all, without a single | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
workplace accident. They offer help and support to more than 500 | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
children with disabilities. For 13 years Stockton Parent Support has | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
helped provide activities and short breaks to children with special | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
needs. But the charity is now at risk after receiving the news - via | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
an e-mail - that its �80,000 a year funding is to be cut. Stuart | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Whincup reports. Joanne Bolton has five children - three have special | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
needs. Often she says she's made to feel like a leaper, like her | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
children are from hell. But Stockton Parent Support group | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
allows her to feel normal. You do, with your kids, no matter how hard | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
you try, people look at you and they judge you, and I would like to | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
have in normal family because I do not want to feel like an outcast | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
and have people accuse me of being a bad mother, when I am not. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
charity helps more than 500 famalies. Unlike other charities | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
parents don't have to wait for an official diagnosis for their | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
children's condition. They get help, support and respite care straight | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
away. My son has learning difficulties. This service is | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
brilliant. I need that extra support because it can be quite | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
expensive. People with children with multiple disabilities will | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
have no were to go. The council said that it wanted to reassure | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
parents and carers that providing services for young people with | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
disabilities was a priority. That money wannabe given to of charities, | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
it says, to provide the same services. Parents say this charity | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
feels like a family - their children are happy. Now, they say | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
the one service that offered them help is being taken away. It's | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
going to be a record year for the Port of Tyne. At least 37 cruise | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
ships will berth there this year, almost doubling last year's number. | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Nearly 600,000 passengers used the terminal last season. That figure | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
is set to be nearer one million in 2012. A 14-year-old girl who went | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
missing from the Workington area 12 days ago has been found safe and | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
well. Catalina is Romanian and speaks little English. She was | :13:58. | :14:08. | |
:14:08. | :14:09. | ||
found in the Carlisle area. With much of southern England already | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
experiencing drought conditions, the prospect of wildfires breaking | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
out in the countryside is an increasing danger. This week, | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
firefighters from all over the world have been in Northumberland | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
to learn how to deal with them, as Jon Williams reports. Fighting fire | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
with fire in some of the most exposed and combustible moorland | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
conditions. We have a significant wild far risk in Northumberland, we | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
have got Kildare Forest, about 650 square kilometres of forest, so we | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:51. | ||
have a significant risk. This heather grouse moor has been | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
divided up into a huge practice grid for the firefighters, who then | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
start small controlled fires to divert and suppress much bigger | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
ones - by burning off the heather in front of it. It's part of a | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
week-long European funded programme to share expertise with their | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
continental colleagues. In France, we used the same techniques, but we | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
want to share the best and the good practices, so we are very | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
interested to sure the experience. Today was about fighting wildfires | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
without water. Tomorrow, they'll see how it's done using one of the | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
biggest water pumps in the country. Coming up soon,. Dawn's here with | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
the sport news. And we're going with the Flow, as we find out what | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
makes the �500,000 musical artwork tick. And changes in the weather | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
:15:46. | :15:47. | ||
coming up in the next few days. Join me later for the full forecast. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
In the region's long tradition of prominent churchmen, not many have | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
had a higher profile than the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
He's hotly tipped to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury - though | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
he was playing down the speculation again today. On this Budget Day, he | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
visited a community project in a deprived area of Newcastle - and | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
reminded our politicians of what he believes really matters. Gerry | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
:16:14. | :16:15. | ||
Jackson reports. On the day politicians in London were shaping | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the lives of a nation, the symbolism of an Archbishop breaking | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
bread with the less fortunate is hard to miss. This is the | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Cornerstone project, for 25 years a part of Benwell in Newcastle. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Largely funded by the Church, it supplies meals, recreation and | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
skills to people of all faiths and none. So what's the message from | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
here on Budget Day? You have to judge a nation by how it deals with | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
is vulnerable people and if you do not do that and terms of justice, | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
equality and fairness, then something is wrong. As a nation, we | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
need to have the moral real wakening and we need to bring those | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
at the top much older and, so that inequality can be abolished. -- | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
much lower down. On Budget day, we all think, how will it affect me, | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
but we need to think, how will it affect those who are really | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
struggling. There's only one job higher than Dr Sentamu's in the | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Church of England and soon the Archbishop of Canterbury post will | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
be vacant.. But this man refuses to be drawn. People can talk as much | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
as you like. So speculate as much as you like, and I can hear about | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
people making -- putting money on May. I am not the horse, so you can | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
do whatever you like. I was asked, did I fancy the job? You cannot be | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
:17:52. | :17:54. | ||
serious, can you? And that was that but then there are many who still | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
wouldn't bet against him. Let's say that if he could be persuaded, he | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
has a charisma that would serve him well. I thought that I would have | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
to kiss his ring, but it was all just natural, when he said he was | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
coming, and I am 90 this year, so that has put the icing on the cake, | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
:18:19. | :18:21. | ||
hasn't it? A special launch event has been held today ahead of the | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
opening of a �500,000 floating, musical, artwork on the River Tyne. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
"Flow" - as it's called - is located next to the Millennium | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Bridge in Newcastle. The musical creation is powered by a tide mill. | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
Adele Robinson's been for a sneak preview. A floating will house and | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
water wheel, a little more complicated than that, say the | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :18:55. | ||
experts. -- millhouse. It is more complicated than that. It has some | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
electrical and physical machines that respond to the river. -- | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
musical. Water passes through this gibe water wheel that powers the | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
musical is the men's inside. You, we have a police samples of | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
Tidewater, the more so than the water, the higher the pitch. Here, | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
we have the bubble some decide -- synthesiser. People can pump air | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
through these big jars. There is a laser going through this that turns | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
the particles into noise, so the more de to the water, the more | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
:19:48. | :19:49. | ||
noisy it is. -- dirty. And we have ear warned that pleased its sound | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
through the entire building so you can hear the mixture of the sound | :19:52. | :20:02. | |
:20:02. | :20:03. | ||
that people are creating outside. This is one of 12 public art works | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
built to celebrate that 2012 volunteer. It has cost a lot of | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
money, �1 million. Will it work? Yes, we hope so, and it is | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
something that everyone can visit for free, so we hope to get a good | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
verdict. The exhibit will stay open until after the London Olympic | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
:20:34. | :20:36. | ||
Games. Very nice, too! Sport news now and it has been an expensive | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
day for our Premier League football teams. Both Newcastle and | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Sunderland have been left counting the cost of that derby dust-up, | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
which flared after a challenge by the Black Cats' James McLean on | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
United defender Danny Simpson. The clubs accepted a charge from the | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Football Association that they failed to control their players, | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
with most of them taking part in the argy-bargy that followed. | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Sunderland were fined �20,000 but Newcastle's bill was doubled to | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
�40,000 because it was their second similar offence this season. By | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
contrast, it was a pretty tame performance by Martin O'Neill's | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
side at Blackburn last night. They had the chance to climb back into | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
eighth place in the Premier League but, instead, gave Rovers the | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
chance to pull away from the relegation zone. Maybe they were | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
too busy thinking about next week's FA Cup quarter-final replay with | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Everton? Maybe Saturday's original tie at Goodison took too much out | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
of them? Whatever the reason, Sunderland limped through a | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
disappointing 90 minutes at Ewood Park, and never really put | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
struggling Blackburn under any pressure. The manager was less than | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
impressed. We should have played better and we could have, and we | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
didn't, and for long periods, we did not play well enough and if we | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
do not do that, we will suffer the consequences. The Black Cats held | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
out until just short of the hour. A clearance from Sotirios Kyrgiakos - | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
on his Snuderland debut - was knocked straight back in by Junior | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Hoilett. Nicklas Bendtner was denied an equaliser when it looked | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
odds-on he'd turn in James McLean's cross. And when a clear-cut chance | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
finally fell the Black Cats' way, substitute Ji Dong Won somehow | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
managed to put the ball over the bar from just three yards out. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
Former Middlesbrough striker, Yakubu, wrapped up the points with | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
a late header, on a night when not too many Sunderland players lived | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
up to their billing. Just about the only exception was captain for the | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
night Phil Bardsley, playing through the pain of a rib injury. | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
They'll need more of that fighting spirit, to keep alive their Premier | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
League season and that dream of Wembley. Middlesbrough are fifth in | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
the Championship and ended their run of two straight defeats with a | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
hard-earned point at fellow promotion hopefuls West Ham. Mark | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
Tulip takes a crash course in lip- reading! Actually this is an easy | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
one. Who'd be a football manager though as Boro boss Tony Mowbray | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
sees some brilliant late defending deny his battling side all three | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
points at Upton Park? Early on West Ham - who like Boro draw too many | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
home games - looked the likelier winners although both team had | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
penalty appeals turned down. You've seen them given. There were claims | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
of offside as Abdoulaye Faye's second half header looped over the | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
helpless Jason Steele via Joe Bennett's head to give the | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Londoners a handy lead. And but for Steele's heroics, Boro would have | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
been heading North empty-handed. But Mowbray's substitutions added | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
some spark to the visitors late on and one of them, Bart Ogbeche, | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
rescued a point with a sublime finish. Look what it meant to the | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
:23:36. | :23:41. | ||
manager. Boro would have taken that at 8 o'clock but nearing 10 they | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
nearly won it - this was their other late effort - Jutkeviez the | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
unlucky player. Three points at home to Bristol City this weekend | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
would really get the play-off bid back on track. In League One | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Carlisle moved back into the playoff zone last night despite | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
being held to a goalless draw by Preston. Almost 7,000 fans | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
witnessed a lively affair at Brunton Park. Goalkeeper Adam | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Collin keeping out Graham Cummings, who really should have scored. | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Carlisle's best chance came when Top-scorer Lee Miller hit the post | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
before Thorstenn Stuckmann tipped the rebound over the bar. Both | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
sides had the chance to grab a winner late on, but in the end, the | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Blues had to settle for a frustrating point. The result moves | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
them back into sixth though. At Victoria Park former Sunderland | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
defender Jean-Yves M'voto saw to it that Hartlepool's six-match | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
unbeaten run at home come to an end last night. And even the inclusion | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
of Black Cats on-loan youngster Ryan Noble didn't do the trick, | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
although he did come close. And Pools revealed today a knee | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
operation means striker Colin Nish will be out for the rest of the | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
will be out for the rest of the season. Time now for the weather | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
forecast. Another very acceptable spring day for most of us. The | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
:24:57. | :25:00. | ||
pictures, of feather and fur. These cormorants have almost a | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
prehistoric feel to them. And this is Murphy, enjoying low tide at the | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
beach at Saltburn. There will be big variations in temperature | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
tomorrow. Today, cloud broke up nicely and most places saw some | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
sunshine. Heading into the evening, that cloud continuing to break, so | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
long, clear spells, all adding up to a chilly night. Towns and cities | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
will see temperatures dropping to four or five Celsius. In the 10th - | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
- the countryside we will see temperatures closer to freezing, | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
with a touch of ground frost possible. Some mist forming towards | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
that north-east coast. And that could be a feature tomorrow morning. | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
Most places will have another fine, dry, sunny day but in the afternoon, | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
Mr and low cloud returning to some eastern areas. -- mist and low | :26:02. | :26:11. | |
cloud. Where the Sun stays longest, Carlisle, 17, possibly 18 Celsius. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
By contrast, on the North East Coast, keeping some mist and low | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
cloud on the East Coast, and struggling to make double figures. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
It is all to do with this high pressure, where it is centred, and | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
what the wind direction is. As we head into the weekend, high | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
pressure builds again. There is always an easterly component to the | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
wind. Areas that there will shelter to the West likely to see the best | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
of the sunshine. -- are well shuttered. On Saturday, mostly dry | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
again, Western area seen the best of the brightness and the best | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
daytime temperatures. Keep the weather pictures coming, there is | :26:58. | :27:08. | |

Time for a quick look at tonight's budget headlines. A 3% increase in | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
fuel duty will go ahead in August. Planned rises in alcohol duty are | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
also going ahead - putting prices up by 5% from next week. Duty on | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
all tobacco products rose by 5% above inflation from 6pm today - | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
the equivalent of 37p on a packet of cigarettes. And there are | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
changes to the cuts planned for child benefit - only those earning | :27:34. | :27:37. |
