:00:09. > :00:15.Hello. Welcome to the programme. Tonight, jobs boost for the North-

:00:15. > :00:18.East as Nissan prepares to build another car model in Wearside.

:00:18. > :00:23.news that Nissan is building another hatchback at Sunderland is

:00:23. > :00:31.going to create thousands of jobs in this country. Remembering

:00:31. > :00:34.Caroline Stuttle Row, the backpacker murder - to area 10

:00:34. > :00:37.years ago. She was a very special young lady and she did a lot of

:00:37. > :00:42.good in a short life. We want people to remember what sort of

:00:42. > :00:50.person she was and not think about the tragic way she died. Has the

:00:50. > :00:57.Royal Mail missed the boat with his new first class stamp? And can you

:00:57. > :01:04.write new words for a old song? The challenge to bring the Blaydon

:01:04. > :01:14.races up to date. And a wonder goal from this man edges the Magpies

:01:14. > :01:19.

:01:19. > :01:23.closer to the impossible dream of First tonight, another new model is

:01:23. > :01:27.to be built at the Nissan car plant in Sunderland. It could lead to

:01:27. > :01:33.more than 200 new jobs at the factory and a further 900 in the

:01:33. > :01:36.supply chain over the next two years. Nissan is investing �127

:01:36. > :01:40.million in the project, and by 2014, more than 6,000 people will be

:01:40. > :01:43.employed at the plant. The Nissan story began, here in the North,

:01:43. > :01:47.back in 1986, when Phase 1 of the company's Wearside plant was

:01:47. > :01:52.completed, and the first Bluebird produced. In 1998, Nissan became

:01:52. > :01:56.the UK's biggest car maker. In 2008, night shifts were introduced to

:01:56. > :02:01.meet demand for the Qashqai - the first Nissan UK car to be exported

:02:01. > :02:06.to Japan. The following year, 1,200 redundancies were announced as the

:02:06. > :02:10.recession hit car sales. But, in 2010, production of Nissan's new

:02:10. > :02:13.electric car, the Leaf, was announced. And, just last month,

:02:13. > :02:18.the company revealed plans for a new compact car to go into

:02:19. > :02:24.production from 2013. Well, Gerry Jackson is live for us at the

:02:24. > :02:30.Nissan plant tonight. Gerry, this is big news for Wearside, isn't it?

:02:30. > :02:34.It just keeps on coming. As thousands of people are looking for

:02:34. > :02:40.jobs here in the north-east and, Ayr, this could not have come at a

:02:40. > :02:45.better time and in two years' time they will be making a revamped

:02:45. > :02:50.Nisha and -- Nissan Qashqai, the Nissan Juke, the Nissan Invitation

:02:50. > :02:54.and a new hatchback, as yet unnamed. It is going to be a direct

:02:54. > :02:58.competitor for the likes of the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. That

:02:58. > :03:06.will be a tough market but you will not find anyone at Nissan who is

:03:06. > :03:09.worried about that. Where did it all go right? For a generation, one

:03:09. > :03:13.of the biggest modern UK manufacturing success stories.

:03:13. > :03:16.Nearly half a million cars are expected to be made here this year

:03:16. > :03:21.- a record output for the plant - and for Britain. The next two years

:03:21. > :03:27.will see those records broken again. It is a big vote of confidence from

:03:27. > :03:30.the parent company. We have a record of delivering difficult

:03:30. > :03:38.programmes and the have four cars launching in the next two years, so

:03:38. > :03:41.it is testament to what the staff are able to do. With this new model

:03:41. > :03:45.added to the all-electric Leaf and the new Invitation model next year,

:03:45. > :03:47.the plant's workforce will stand at more than 6,200 - another UK record.

:03:47. > :03:51.A pity is good for the region because I am getting made redundant,

:03:51. > :03:59.so I am going to apply for a job, as well. The more money, more jobs

:03:59. > :04:04.to bring into the shopping centre, and to the town. It is great news,

:04:04. > :04:11.it is keeping Sunderland alive. More cars, more future money, more

:04:12. > :04:15.jobs for everybody. It just shows how the reinvention of the

:04:15. > :04:18.economies since the demise of heavy industry has helped Sunderland

:04:18. > :04:28.weather the storm and bring us out of recession quicker than in the

:04:28. > :04:29.past. So you have to ask, can it last? A little over three years ago

:04:29. > :04:32.things were very different. Redundancies, production line

:04:32. > :04:38.shutdowns. Thousands of jobs here and in the supply chain looked at

:04:38. > :04:42.risk. So what's changed? Since then we have had a 25% depreciation in

:04:42. > :04:47.pounds sterling so it is more competitive to make cars in the UK

:04:47. > :04:52.and 80% of the cars made in the UK are exported. My big concern about

:04:52. > :04:55.the state of the car industry as that at some point in the future we

:04:55. > :05:03.will have another downturn and other companies -- other countries

:05:03. > :05:05.do more to support their manufacturing base. For now of

:05:05. > :05:09.course, it's the brightest star in the region's manufacturing sector

:05:09. > :05:12.and as long as the good times roll so will these production lines, 24

:05:12. > :05:18.hours a day. As it happens there are no cars being made you write

:05:18. > :05:20.down because it is the Easter holiday shutdown, but in an --

:05:20. > :05:26.announcement like this are very carefully timed, in this case, to

:05:26. > :05:31.coincide with David Cameron's visit to Japan, to drum up trade with

:05:31. > :05:37.Britain. We need to get the economy moving. We need to make more, sell

:05:37. > :05:41.more, export more, and Japan as the third largest economy in the world,

:05:41. > :05:44.a huge customer for British goods and a massive investor, back into

:05:44. > :05:49.Britain, and the news that Nissan are going to be making a new

:05:49. > :05:52.hatchback in Sunderland is going to create thousands of jobs in our

:05:52. > :05:58.country so I am here to encourage investment in Britain, but also, to

:05:58. > :06:01.sell things to Japan. I am told by Nissan that recruitment for these

:06:01. > :06:07.new jobs will start immediately after the Easter holidays, that is

:06:07. > :06:13.next week. They, like all car makers, have been making these

:06:13. > :06:19.plans for several years. You do not invest all these money -- this

:06:19. > :06:25.money unless you ask confident that the market will support it. Almost

:06:25. > :06:29.80% of the cars you will go for global export and then, you're at

:06:29. > :06:32.the mercy of the global economy. We have to hope that Nissan have got

:06:32. > :06:42.their sums right and that there will be no nasty shocks for this

:06:42. > :06:45.

:06:45. > :06:47.plant, years down the lane. -- line. Ten years ago today, York student

:06:48. > :06:50.Caroline Stuttle was murdered while she was backpacking in Australia.

:06:51. > :06:53.The 19 year-old was robbed and pushed off a bridge in the

:06:53. > :06:56.Queensland city of Bundaberg. Round about now, to mark the anniversary,

:06:56. > :06:59.Caroline's family and friends are attending a service in York Minster

:06:59. > :07:02.to celebrate her life. Before the service, they spoke to our reporter,

:07:02. > :07:05.Stuart Whincup. We will not see her we have to be married, have family,

:07:05. > :07:08.and all of the things that you expect from your children. You do

:07:08. > :07:12.not expect them to go, before you, she is never out of Airtours, but

:07:12. > :07:18.you have to do something positive, so you have to try and tell other

:07:18. > :07:23.people, and that is what we have focused on. Caroline was

:07:23. > :07:26.backpacking in Australia when she was robbed in the Queen's answer to

:07:26. > :07:29.Bundaberg. A drug addict was imprisoned for her mother.

:07:29. > :07:33.Carling's father said there have been many dark moments in the last

:07:33. > :07:37.10 years but he is determined to honour his daughter's memory by

:07:38. > :07:41.living his life to the full. was full of fun and full of

:07:41. > :07:47.ambition and when I get down I always think, Caroline would not

:07:47. > :07:52.want us to be like this. Get on and enjoy life. Following her

:07:52. > :08:00.daughter's death, Marjorie set up Carling's charity Mac, which

:08:00. > :08:04.advises young -- Caroline's Rainbow Foundation. They are free can help

:08:04. > :08:07.young people to travel in is safe environment and stop something

:08:07. > :08:13.nasty happening to another family, then we have done our job.

:08:13. > :08:17.Everybody wants to travel. The information is out there, and if

:08:17. > :08:20.people take the time to look at the information and become aware of

:08:20. > :08:28.their surroundings, then they will have a fantastic and more

:08:28. > :08:33.fulfilling experience. Today's service was billed as a celebration

:08:33. > :08:37.of Caroline's shortly. She was a young woman full of energy and

:08:37. > :08:44.accuse us and who dazzled all around her. They white people to

:08:44. > :08:54.remember that, and not the tragic way that she died -- Indian -- they

:08:54. > :08:57.

:08:57. > :09:00.It's one of the defining symbols of the North East. The Tyne Bridge is

:09:00. > :09:03.one of the most recognisable bridges in the world - and now it's

:09:03. > :09:05.to appear on a first-class stamp. Royal Mail's releasing the final

:09:05. > :09:08.batch of an alphabet of stamps, representing the UK's favourite

:09:08. > :09:12.tourist attractions. The Tyne Bridge represents the letter T. But

:09:12. > :09:16.the image is causing a bit of a stir, as Stephanie Lloyd reports.

:09:16. > :09:19.The Tyne Bridge - one of the most iconic images of the North East.

:09:19. > :09:27.But the eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted something that's not

:09:27. > :09:30.quite right. The Tuxedo Princess nightclub is on the stamp. It was a

:09:30. > :09:36.feature on the River Tyne for many years, but it floated off four

:09:36. > :09:46.years ago. And the Millennium Bridge doesn't feature either. So

:09:46. > :09:47.

:09:47. > :09:55.does it get the stamp of approval? The boat is there. I prefer it

:09:55. > :10:05.without it! It is a bit off her. You have got some spectacular views

:10:05. > :10:06.

:10:06. > :10:09.of it now. It is a reminder of past times, isn't it? I have memories of

:10:10. > :10:15.dancing the night away their and meeting many handsome young man, I

:10:15. > :10:21.think I might have met my husband on there! But that is history now.

:10:21. > :10:31.It is history, for me, seeing that bout. In a statement, the Royal

:10:31. > :10:46.

:10:46. > :10:52.So what does a professional photographer make of it? It is

:10:52. > :11:00.ancient. It is at least take on nine years old. The tuxedo Princess

:11:00. > :11:04.is there. The Hanover Bridge is not let up. It is not as it should be.

:11:04. > :11:11.If you are trying to celebrate the region for a wider audience, at

:11:11. > :11:14.least use images that are relevant. The Tyne Bridge joins another

:11:14. > :11:17.iconic landmark in the region - York Minster - which represents the

:11:17. > :11:22.letter Y. The previous set featured the Angel of the North and

:11:22. > :11:29.Lindisfarne Priory. Stamp prices rise at the end of the month - so

:11:29. > :11:32.it will cost 60 pence for a piece of this postal portrait of Britain.

:11:32. > :11:41.Five people have been arrested in connection with the theft of

:11:41. > :11:43.valuable artefacts from Durham University's Oriental Museum. Two

:11:44. > :11:46.Qing Dynasty pieces, worth almost �2 million, were stolen from the

:11:46. > :11:49.museum in what police are calling: "a well planned, highly-organised"

:11:49. > :11:53.break-in last Thursday night. The five people arrested are from the

:11:53. > :11:59.West Midlands. You're watching Look North. Still to come, we have team

:11:59. > :12:04.talk, plus a pop superstar, as she were found this until we why she's

:12:04. > :12:08.hosting a Eurovision Charity Show here in the north. And what does

:12:08. > :12:18.the weather hold? I will be back with all the details in the

:12:18. > :12:18.

:12:18. > :12:21.forecast. I went to Blaydon races, it was on 9th June. Everybody knows

:12:21. > :12:28.the first line. But could you do any better rating the rest of it?

:12:28. > :12:38.To mark the 158 anniversary of the song, we want suggestions for new

:12:38. > :12:41.lyrics for the legendary song. To many people, this song is almost a

:12:41. > :12:47.hymn to the heritage of the north- east, so changing the lyrics was

:12:47. > :12:52.always going to be potentially touchy. But nobody is suggesting

:12:52. > :12:57.writing it out of existence. BBC Newcastle wants to hear your

:12:57. > :13:02.suggestions of an alternative version, just for fun. There are so

:13:02. > :13:07.many things when you look in the lyrics that are not there any more.

:13:07. > :13:13.How many of those races could you recite? Why not bring it up to

:13:13. > :13:17.2012? Local songwriter Pete Scott will compile the best suggestions

:13:17. > :13:23.into a finished song that will be sung by North East-born opera

:13:23. > :13:30.singer, Graeme Danby. It is an incredible song. We need to promote

:13:30. > :13:40.the song. As with lots of heritage, it needs to be, not just a rare,

:13:40. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:51.but promoted. -- not just preserved. Can the people of lead and sing the

:13:51. > :13:58.song? I know some of it but up all that. You cannot sing it for me?

:13:58. > :14:03.certainly cannot. What would you include if you were writing your

:14:03. > :14:11.lyrics? I do not think that it is a good idea. I went to Blaydon races,

:14:11. > :14:15.it was on at 9th June. I sing it when I have had a few drinks but I

:14:15. > :14:25.cannot remember it. Have you had a drink this morning, can you sing it

:14:25. > :14:31.

:14:31. > :14:41.for us? No thank you! Give it a try. You are joking! Haway me lads,

:14:41. > :14:41.

:14:41. > :14:51.something like that. You could put Greg's in, and McDonald's! Thank

:14:51. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :14:58.If you would like to submit a new verse, you can consult our Facebook

:14:58. > :15:01.page. The address is on the screen now.

:15:01. > :15:03.Now, it's being billed as a Eurovision extravaganza. A show

:15:03. > :15:06.featuring acts who've performed at the Eurovision Song Contest over

:15:06. > :15:10.the last 40 years. It's being held at The Sage, Gateshead, tomorrow

:15:10. > :15:13.night and it's all in aid of The Toma Fund, a charity which works to

:15:13. > :15:15.help children, teenagers and young people and their families affected

:15:15. > :15:18.by a diagnosis of childhood cancer. Hosting the event with Christopher

:15:18. > :15:22.Biggins is Sheila Ferguson, one of the Three Degrees, of course, and

:15:22. > :15:30.earlier she came into Look North to tell me a little bit about why

:15:30. > :15:34.she's involved. Interestingly by living here, I

:15:34. > :15:41.have lived here for almost 30 years, and I had never heard of the

:15:41. > :15:45.contest before then because it is to be visioned in Europe. Then I

:15:45. > :15:49.got caught up in the English culture and you wind up looking up

:15:49. > :15:57.-- forward to every year and pulling for your country. A lot of

:15:57. > :16:01.people find it too easy, but it is a big event. I think people could

:16:01. > :16:05.call pop idol and X-factor cheesy as well. At least you have

:16:05. > :16:10.countries competing in a nice way, there is no wall about it. There

:16:10. > :16:15.are so few things that bring people together and that is one of them.

:16:15. > :16:20.The whole point of the event is to race a lot of money for The Toma

:16:20. > :16:29.Fund, dedicated to children who died from cancer. It is an

:16:29. > :16:33.important cause Jimmy because I met his mother at the airport. I got a

:16:33. > :16:38.lot of empathy because I feel for her and what she went through. Also

:16:38. > :16:42.it appeals to me to help out. The help they give to the families and

:16:42. > :16:48.to what I know Andrea has explained to me, she has been to hell and

:16:48. > :16:52.back. The fact that she is going so far and has the drive to push it

:16:52. > :16:57.and to make it, to help other families, it is something I admire

:16:57. > :17:04.her for. Where they you are a big fan of the contest or not, great

:17:04. > :17:07.cause. It is. If you have as many winners of Eurovision as many do

:17:07. > :17:13.you can fly in, doing it in chronological order, that will make

:17:13. > :17:18.it easy for us to announce them. It will almost be like a historical

:17:18. > :17:23.event. I like that. Will we get a tune from you as well? I didn't

:17:23. > :17:28.think so, but I suspect how sneaky these people are, they might ask,

:17:28. > :17:31.so we will see. Thank you very much. My pleasure.

:17:31. > :17:41.Lovely lady! And "Toma's Eurovision Reunited" is at the Sage, Gateshead,

:17:41. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:44.at 7.30pm tomorrow night. Now Newcastle in the Champions League?

:17:44. > :17:47.Even the Match of the Day pundits were writing them off on Saturday

:17:47. > :17:49.night. They're having second thoughts now though, Dawn?

:17:49. > :17:53.They certainly are! Hardly surprising, because the Magpies

:17:53. > :17:56.have timed their run to perfection, just when some of the teams above

:17:56. > :17:59.them seem to be falling off the pace.

:17:59. > :18:02.Spot on. Let's look at the Premier League table. The Magpies are now

:18:02. > :18:06.below Spurs only on goal difference, in the race for that fourth

:18:06. > :18:09.Champions League spot. And they'll have their sights set on Arsenal,

:18:09. > :18:13.who are third. It's now five wins in a row for Newcastle, and when

:18:13. > :18:16.you look at their last five games of the season, a couple of tricky

:18:16. > :18:19.ones but you can see them winning three, or possibly even four, of

:18:19. > :18:23.those! Two wins out of two, over Easter.

:18:23. > :18:25.The first, at Swansea, on Good Friday. But we have to start with

:18:25. > :18:28.that goal. Yes, Hatem Ben Arfa with an

:18:28. > :18:38.incredible solo effort, against a Bolton team who'd actually been the

:18:38. > :18:40.

:18:40. > :18:48.better side up until then. Another contender for goal of the season.

:18:48. > :18:58.To go with the one he scored Not such a good Easter weekend for

:18:58. > :19:21.

:19:21. > :19:26.Sometimes it comes down to how bad What a find he has turned out to be.

:19:26. > :19:32.You have to credit the scout for that. He has done some great work

:19:32. > :19:34.this season. In the weekend of the US Masters golf, a little chip shop

:19:34. > :19:39.there. Beautiful golf.

:19:39. > :19:43.How many people can do that? last 10 games are the most

:19:44. > :19:47.important games of any season. We have been in the top six all season

:19:47. > :19:53.the so it is no mystery, but we have really hit a better form at

:19:53. > :19:58.the right time. With a five to go, we will enjoy it. It is a bit of

:19:58. > :20:01.fun for us now. It is Champions League staff.

:20:01. > :20:04.Just the one point from two tough games, and hardly a decent shot on

:20:04. > :20:07.target. In fact, this was probably the highlight of a pretty dull

:20:07. > :20:12.goalless draw with Spurs on Saturday - a fabulous, game-saving

:20:12. > :20:15.tackle from Craig Gardner, to stop Gareth Bale in his tracks.

:20:15. > :20:18.And then it was on to Goodison yesterday, and this was about as

:20:18. > :20:21.close as they came - an overhead kick from Stephane Sessegnon which

:20:21. > :20:29.flew just past the post. After that, it was the same old

:20:29. > :20:32.story! Four second-half goals against Everton.

:20:32. > :20:38.Everton have been a tough nut to crack for Sunderland because they

:20:38. > :20:43.have played them four at times, drawn twice and lost twice. It is

:20:43. > :20:47.Martin O'Neill's first defeat as a player or a manager for 13 games.

:20:48. > :20:52.Amazing. But the goals were flying in towards the end. Some great

:20:52. > :20:56.finishers. O'Neill said the players look -- look a bit tired. He stuck

:20:56. > :20:59.with the same team. Should you be giving your players

:20:59. > :21:06.an excuse like that at this point of the season? I don't know.

:21:06. > :21:10.Into the Championship now, and if Easter was bad for Sunderland it

:21:10. > :21:16.was a nightmare for Middlesbrough. Yes, beaten by two of their play-

:21:16. > :21:19.off rivals. It's now eight games without a win for the Boro, just

:21:19. > :21:22.four points out of the last 24. They couldn't have picked a worse

:21:22. > :21:25.time to lose form. That's right, Cardiff beat them 2-0

:21:25. > :21:29.at the Riverside on Saturday, a couple of goals inside the first 20

:21:29. > :21:32.minutes, and City hadn't won in six, so this was a big result for them.

:21:32. > :21:35.They climbed above Boro after that. Things seemed to be going better

:21:35. > :21:38.for them at Hull yesterday, though, Marvin Emnes putting Tony Mowbray's

:21:38. > :21:42.side ahead. But how many times have they gone in front and then failed

:21:42. > :21:45.to hold on to the lead? Funny you should ask that, Dawn!

:21:45. > :21:49.Cos I checked it out this afternoon - nine times by my reckoning - this

:21:49. > :21:52.is the first time they've been in front and not come out with

:21:52. > :21:55.anything. Eight times they were held to a draw, Matty Fryatt's late

:21:55. > :22:05.goal for Hull means, this season, Boro have left 19 points slip away

:22:05. > :22:07.

:22:07. > :22:12.from a winning position. I couldn't see them scoring. Very poor goal to

:22:12. > :22:15.concede. It get them a bit of relief on the terraces and on the

:22:15. > :22:18.pitch. They got the rewards very late on.

:22:18. > :22:21.And what that means is that Boro drop out of the play-off zone.

:22:21. > :22:28.Yes, they're down to eighth now, two points behind Cardiff, with

:22:28. > :22:32.just six games to play. They need to find a win from somewhere!

:22:32. > :22:35.Yes, by any means possible. Into League One now and Carlisle

:22:35. > :22:38.and Hartlepool drew all their games over Easter, Dawn? Yes, they both

:22:38. > :22:41.kicked off the long weekend by taking the lead away from home.

:22:41. > :22:44.There was an element of good fortune for the Cumbrians as J.P.

:22:44. > :22:46.McGovern's shot went in via the bar and a deflection, although Wycombe

:22:46. > :22:49.equalised late on. Hartlepool also conceded a late

:22:49. > :22:53.equaliser. That after taking the lead at Colchester thanks to

:22:53. > :22:55.Anthony Sweeney's header. By yesterday, though, the goals had

:22:55. > :22:58.dried up for both clubs. And Carlisle's failure to score against

:22:58. > :23:02.Scunthorpe - Lee Miller probably went closest at Brunton Park,

:23:02. > :23:05.allowed Notts County to squeeze them out of the play-off places. At

:23:05. > :23:11.least Hartlepool managed to hold another top six contender Brentford

:23:11. > :23:13.at Victoria Park, although scoring goals at home is becoming a problem.

:23:13. > :23:19.A disallowed effort apart, Ryan Noble, on loan from Sunderland in

:23:19. > :23:27.the orange boots, came closest to breaking the deadlock.

:23:27. > :23:37.13 games they have played this season without a goal. Not great.

:23:37. > :23:38.

:23:38. > :23:41.Sunshine and showers is going to this story after this week. After

:23:41. > :23:45.the record-breaking temperatures and snow, we return to more

:23:45. > :23:52.traditional springtime there for this week. A great weather picture

:23:52. > :23:56.to start us off. Thank you to Simon Elliott for this photo. The

:23:56. > :24:00.headline to go with him: Showers and bright spells over much of this

:24:00. > :24:04.week. April showers through today, turning into April showers this

:24:04. > :24:08.evening for much of the north-east. Dry and clear up for some time in

:24:08. > :24:12.the West, although a couple of showers here as well. Many parts of

:24:12. > :24:16.the North Pennines, dry and cold by dawn. Temperatures down to three

:24:16. > :24:20.degrees. Maybe colder in some countryside locations. The

:24:20. > :24:23.possibility of a touch of frost in rural spots. First thing tomorrow,

:24:23. > :24:27.lots of sunshine for the West and parts of North Yorkshire, but

:24:27. > :24:32.plenty of showers on the coast. Through the late morning and early

:24:32. > :24:37.afternoon, the showers will become more widespread. Things will turn

:24:37. > :24:44.pretty unsettled. Showers over the North Pennines will turn thundery,

:24:44. > :24:46.maybe even with pale and a rumble of thunder as we cross West words.

:24:46. > :24:51.Things are drier and brighter generally here. Everywhere the

:24:51. > :24:56.temperatures are about average for the time of year, around 10 degrees.

:24:56. > :25:01.Tomorrow, it will be in the 40s to know the 50s in Fahrenheit. Pretty

:25:01. > :25:05.pleasant if you were in one of the sunny spells, not so great in the

:25:06. > :25:09.heavy downpours. It continues in the same theme for this week.

:25:09. > :25:13.Further forward, low pressure in charge, keeping things unsettled,

:25:13. > :25:18.for the East in particular. More sunshine and showers for much of

:25:18. > :25:23.the north-east on Thursday. Dry air but cloudy in the West. For parts

:25:23. > :25:28.of the North Yorkshire coast, on Friday, we are forecasting some of

:25:28. > :25:33.their showers fought Tyneside and winning -- where side could have

:25:33. > :25:36.some sleet or hailed mixed in. A bit of a colder day, a northerly

:25:36. > :25:42.breeze on Friday, and we could get more sleep over the hills of the

:25:42. > :25:46.North Pennines and the North York Moors as well. It is very much

:25:46. > :25:51.average, this kind of weather. Bright for many of the mornings and

:25:51. > :25:56.then the relative warmth of the day. They are unleashed their energy in

:25:56. > :26:01.the heavy showers, some of which could be boundary as well tomorrow

:26:01. > :26:04.and Peru to Thursday and Friday. April showers, and if you are out

:26:04. > :26:11.and about in them with your cameras, we would love to see pictures of

:26:11. > :26:17.them. The winner of our mouth where there competition will be announced.

:26:17. > :26:20.You know where to send your pictures. -- March whether

:26:20. > :26:21.competition. And now a final look at tonight's

:26:21. > :26:24.headlines: The European Court of Human Rights

:26:24. > :26:27.has agreed that five terror suspects held in the UK, including

:26:27. > :26:31.the radical cleric Abu Hamza, can be extradited to the United States.

:26:31. > :26:34.And Nissan has unveiled plans for a fifth new model to be produced at

:26:34. > :26:44.its Sunderland car plant. There'll be more than 6,000 workers at the
