Hello. Welcome to the programme. Tonight, jobs boost for the North- | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
East as Nissan prepares to build another car model in Wearside. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
news that Nissan is building another hatchback at Sunderland is | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
going to create thousands of jobs in this country. Remembering | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
Caroline Stuttle Row, the backpacker murder - to area 10 | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
years ago. She was a very special young lady and she did a lot of | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
good in a short life. We want people to remember what sort of | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
person she was and not think about the tragic way she died. Has the | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
Royal Mail missed the boat with his new first class stamp? And can you | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
write new words for a old song? The challenge to bring the Blaydon | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
races up to date. And a wonder goal from this man edges the Magpies | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
:01:14. | :01:19. | ||
closer to the impossible dream of First tonight, another new model is | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
to be built at the Nissan car plant in Sunderland. It could lead to | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
more than 200 new jobs at the factory and a further 900 in the | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
supply chain over the next two years. Nissan is investing �127 | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
million in the project, and by 2014, more than 6,000 people will be | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
employed at the plant. The Nissan story began, here in the North, | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
back in 1986, when Phase 1 of the company's Wearside plant was | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
completed, and the first Bluebird produced. In 1998, Nissan became | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
the UK's biggest car maker. In 2008, night shifts were introduced to | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
meet demand for the Qashqai - the first Nissan UK car to be exported | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
to Japan. The following year, 1,200 redundancies were announced as the | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
recession hit car sales. But, in 2010, production of Nissan's new | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
electric car, the Leaf, was announced. And, just last month, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
the company revealed plans for a new compact car to go into | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
production from 2013. Well, Gerry Jackson is live for us at the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Nissan plant tonight. Gerry, this is big news for Wearside, isn't it? | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
It just keeps on coming. As thousands of people are looking for | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
jobs here in the north-east and, Ayr, this could not have come at a | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
better time and in two years' time they will be making a revamped | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Nisha and -- Nissan Qashqai, the Nissan Juke, the Nissan Invitation | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
and a new hatchback, as yet unnamed. It is going to be a direct | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
competitor for the likes of the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. That | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
will be a tough market but you will not find anyone at Nissan who is | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
worried about that. Where did it all go right? For a generation, one | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
of the biggest modern UK manufacturing success stories. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Nearly half a million cars are expected to be made here this year | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
- a record output for the plant - and for Britain. The next two years | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
will see those records broken again. It is a big vote of confidence from | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
the parent company. We have a record of delivering difficult | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
programmes and the have four cars launching in the next two years, so | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
it is testament to what the staff are able to do. With this new model | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
added to the all-electric Leaf and the new Invitation model next year, | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the plant's workforce will stand at more than 6,200 - another UK record. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
A pity is good for the region because I am getting made redundant, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
so I am going to apply for a job, as well. The more money, more jobs | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
to bring into the shopping centre, and to the town. It is great news, | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
it is keeping Sunderland alive. More cars, more future money, more | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
jobs for everybody. It just shows how the reinvention of the | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
economies since the demise of heavy industry has helped Sunderland | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
weather the storm and bring us out of recession quicker than in the | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
past. So you have to ask, can it last? A little over three years ago | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
things were very different. Redundancies, production line | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
shutdowns. Thousands of jobs here and in the supply chain looked at | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
risk. So what's changed? Since then we have had a 25% depreciation in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
pounds sterling so it is more competitive to make cars in the UK | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
and 80% of the cars made in the UK are exported. My big concern about | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
the state of the car industry as that at some point in the future we | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
will have another downturn and other companies -- other countries | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
do more to support their manufacturing base. For now of | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
course, it's the brightest star in the region's manufacturing sector | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
and as long as the good times roll so will these production lines, 24 | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
hours a day. As it happens there are no cars being made you write | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
down because it is the Easter holiday shutdown, but in an -- | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
announcement like this are very carefully timed, in this case, to | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
coincide with David Cameron's visit to Japan, to drum up trade with | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
Britain. We need to get the economy moving. We need to make more, sell | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
more, export more, and Japan as the third largest economy in the world, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
a huge customer for British goods and a massive investor, back into | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Britain, and the news that Nissan are going to be making a new | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
hatchback in Sunderland is going to create thousands of jobs in our | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
country so I am here to encourage investment in Britain, but also, to | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
sell things to Japan. I am told by Nissan that recruitment for these | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
new jobs will start immediately after the Easter holidays, that is | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
next week. They, like all car makers, have been making these | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
plans for several years. You do not invest all these money -- this | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
money unless you ask confident that the market will support it. Almost | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
80% of the cars you will go for global export and then, you're at | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
the mercy of the global economy. We have to hope that Nissan have got | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
their sums right and that there will be no nasty shocks for this | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
:06:42. | :06:45. | ||
plant, years down the lane. -- line. Ten years ago today, York student | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Caroline Stuttle was murdered while she was backpacking in Australia. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
The 19 year-old was robbed and pushed off a bridge in the | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Queensland city of Bundaberg. Round about now, to mark the anniversary, | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Caroline's family and friends are attending a service in York Minster | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
to celebrate her life. Before the service, they spoke to our reporter, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Stuart Whincup. We will not see her we have to be married, have family, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
and all of the things that you expect from your children. You do | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
not expect them to go, before you, she is never out of Airtours, but | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
you have to do something positive, so you have to try and tell other | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
people, and that is what we have focused on. Caroline was | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
backpacking in Australia when she was robbed in the Queen's answer to | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Bundaberg. A drug addict was imprisoned for her mother. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Carling's father said there have been many dark moments in the last | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
10 years but he is determined to honour his daughter's memory by | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
living his life to the full. was full of fun and full of | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
ambition and when I get down I always think, Caroline would not | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
want us to be like this. Get on and enjoy life. Following her | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
daughter's death, Marjorie set up Carling's charity Mac, which | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
advises young -- Caroline's Rainbow Foundation. They are free can help | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
young people to travel in is safe environment and stop something | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
nasty happening to another family, then we have done our job. | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
Everybody wants to travel. The information is out there, and if | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
people take the time to look at the information and become aware of | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
their surroundings, then they will have a fantastic and more | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
fulfilling experience. Today's service was billed as a celebration | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
of Caroline's shortly. She was a young woman full of energy and | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
accuse us and who dazzled all around her. They white people to | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
remember that, and not the tragic way that she died -- Indian -- they | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :08:57. | ||
It's one of the defining symbols of the North East. The Tyne Bridge is | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
one of the most recognisable bridges in the world - and now it's | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
to appear on a first-class stamp. Royal Mail's releasing the final | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
batch of an alphabet of stamps, representing the UK's favourite | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
tourist attractions. The Tyne Bridge represents the letter T. But | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the image is causing a bit of a stir, as Stephanie Lloyd reports. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
The Tyne Bridge - one of the most iconic images of the North East. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
But the eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted something that's not | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
quite right. The Tuxedo Princess nightclub is on the stamp. It was a | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
feature on the River Tyne for many years, but it floated off four | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
years ago. And the Millennium Bridge doesn't feature either. So | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
:09:46. | :09:47. | ||
does it get the stamp of approval? The boat is there. I prefer it | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
without it! It is a bit off her. You have got some spectacular views | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
:10:05. | :10:06. | ||
of it now. It is a reminder of past times, isn't it? I have memories of | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
dancing the night away their and meeting many handsome young man, I | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
think I might have met my husband on there! But that is history now. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
It is history, for me, seeing that bout. In a statement, the Royal | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
:10:31. | :10:46. | ||
So what does a professional photographer make of it? It is | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
ancient. It is at least take on nine years old. The tuxedo Princess | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
is there. The Hanover Bridge is not let up. It is not as it should be. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
If you are trying to celebrate the region for a wider audience, at | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
least use images that are relevant. The Tyne Bridge joins another | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
iconic landmark in the region - York Minster - which represents the | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
letter Y. The previous set featured the Angel of the North and | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
Lindisfarne Priory. Stamp prices rise at the end of the month - so | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
it will cost 60 pence for a piece of this postal portrait of Britain. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Five people have been arrested in connection with the theft of | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
valuable artefacts from Durham University's Oriental Museum. Two | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Qing Dynasty pieces, worth almost �2 million, were stolen from the | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
museum in what police are calling: "a well planned, highly-organised" | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
break-in last Thursday night. The five people arrested are from the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
West Midlands. You're watching Look North. Still to come, we have team | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
talk, plus a pop superstar, as she were found this until we why she's | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
hosting a Eurovision Charity Show here in the north. And what does | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
the weather hold? I will be back with all the details in the | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
:12:18. | :12:18. | ||
forecast. I went to Blaydon races, it was on 9th June. Everybody knows | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
the first line. But could you do any better rating the rest of it? | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
To mark the 158 anniversary of the song, we want suggestions for new | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
lyrics for the legendary song. To many people, this song is almost a | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
hymn to the heritage of the north- east, so changing the lyrics was | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
always going to be potentially touchy. But nobody is suggesting | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
writing it out of existence. BBC Newcastle wants to hear your | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
suggestions of an alternative version, just for fun. There are so | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
many things when you look in the lyrics that are not there any more. | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
How many of those races could you recite? Why not bring it up to | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
2012? Local songwriter Pete Scott will compile the best suggestions | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
into a finished song that will be sung by North East-born opera | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
singer, Graeme Danby. It is an incredible song. We need to promote | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
the song. As with lots of heritage, it needs to be, not just a rare, | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
:13:40. | :13:45. | ||
but promoted. -- not just preserved. Can the people of lead and sing the | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
song? I know some of it but up all that. You cannot sing it for me? | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
certainly cannot. What would you include if you were writing your | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
lyrics? I do not think that it is a good idea. I went to Blaydon races, | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
it was on at 9th June. I sing it when I have had a few drinks but I | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
cannot remember it. Have you had a drink this morning, can you sing it | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
:14:25. | :14:31. | ||
for us? No thank you! Give it a try. You are joking! Haway me lads, | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:41. | ||
something like that. You could put Greg's in, and McDonald's! Thank | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:55. | ||
If you would like to submit a new verse, you can consult our Facebook | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
page. The address is on the screen now. | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Now, it's being billed as a Eurovision extravaganza. A show | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
featuring acts who've performed at the Eurovision Song Contest over | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
the last 40 years. It's being held at The Sage, Gateshead, tomorrow | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
night and it's all in aid of The Toma Fund, a charity which works to | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
help children, teenagers and young people and their families affected | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
by a diagnosis of childhood cancer. Hosting the event with Christopher | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Biggins is Sheila Ferguson, one of the Three Degrees, of course, and | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
earlier she came into Look North to tell me a little bit about why | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
she's involved. Interestingly by living here, I | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
have lived here for almost 30 years, and I had never heard of the | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
contest before then because it is to be visioned in Europe. Then I | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
got caught up in the English culture and you wind up looking up | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
-- forward to every year and pulling for your country. A lot of | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
people find it too easy, but it is a big event. I think people could | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
call pop idol and X-factor cheesy as well. At least you have | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
countries competing in a nice way, there is no wall about it. There | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
are so few things that bring people together and that is one of them. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
The whole point of the event is to race a lot of money for The Toma | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Fund, dedicated to children who died from cancer. It is an | :16:20. | :16:29. | |
important cause Jimmy because I met his mother at the airport. I got a | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
lot of empathy because I feel for her and what she went through. Also | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
it appeals to me to help out. The help they give to the families and | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
to what I know Andrea has explained to me, she has been to hell and | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
back. The fact that she is going so far and has the drive to push it | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
and to make it, to help other families, it is something I admire | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
her for. Where they you are a big fan of the contest or not, great | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
cause. It is. If you have as many winners of Eurovision as many do | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
you can fly in, doing it in chronological order, that will make | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
it easy for us to announce them. It will almost be like a historical | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
event. I like that. Will we get a tune from you as well? I didn't | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
think so, but I suspect how sneaky these people are, they might ask, | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
so we will see. Thank you very much. My pleasure. | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
Lovely lady! And "Toma's Eurovision Reunited" is at the Sage, Gateshead, | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
:17:41. | :17:41. | ||
at 7.30pm tomorrow night. Now Newcastle in the Champions League? | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Even the Match of the Day pundits were writing them off on Saturday | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
night. They're having second thoughts now though, Dawn? | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
They certainly are! Hardly surprising, because the Magpies | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
have timed their run to perfection, just when some of the teams above | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
them seem to be falling off the pace. | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Spot on. Let's look at the Premier League table. The Magpies are now | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
below Spurs only on goal difference, in the race for that fourth | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Champions League spot. And they'll have their sights set on Arsenal, | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
who are third. It's now five wins in a row for Newcastle, and when | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
you look at their last five games of the season, a couple of tricky | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
ones but you can see them winning three, or possibly even four, of | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
those! Two wins out of two, over Easter. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
The first, at Swansea, on Good Friday. But we have to start with | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
that goal. Yes, Hatem Ben Arfa with an | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
incredible solo effort, against a Bolton team who'd actually been the | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
:18:38. | :18:40. | ||
better side up until then. Another contender for goal of the season. | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
To go with the one he scored Not such a good Easter weekend for | :18:48. | :18:58. | |
:18:58. | :19:21. | ||
Sometimes it comes down to how bad What a find he has turned out to be. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
You have to credit the scout for that. He has done some great work | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
this season. In the weekend of the US Masters golf, a little chip shop | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
there. Beautiful golf. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
How many people can do that? last 10 games are the most | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
important games of any season. We have been in the top six all season | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
the so it is no mystery, but we have really hit a better form at | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
the right time. With a five to go, we will enjoy it. It is a bit of | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
fun for us now. It is Champions League staff. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Just the one point from two tough games, and hardly a decent shot on | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
target. In fact, this was probably the highlight of a pretty dull | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
goalless draw with Spurs on Saturday - a fabulous, game-saving | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
tackle from Craig Gardner, to stop Gareth Bale in his tracks. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
And then it was on to Goodison yesterday, and this was about as | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
close as they came - an overhead kick from Stephane Sessegnon which | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
flew just past the post. After that, it was the same old | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
story! Four second-half goals against Everton. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Everton have been a tough nut to crack for Sunderland because they | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
have played them four at times, drawn twice and lost twice. It is | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
Martin O'Neill's first defeat as a player or a manager for 13 games. | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
Amazing. But the goals were flying in towards the end. Some great | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
finishers. O'Neill said the players look -- look a bit tired. He stuck | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
with the same team. Should you be giving your players | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
an excuse like that at this point of the season? I don't know. | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
Into the Championship now, and if Easter was bad for Sunderland it | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
was a nightmare for Middlesbrough. Yes, beaten by two of their play- | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
off rivals. It's now eight games without a win for the Boro, just | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
four points out of the last 24. They couldn't have picked a worse | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
time to lose form. That's right, Cardiff beat them 2-0 | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
at the Riverside on Saturday, a couple of goals inside the first 20 | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
minutes, and City hadn't won in six, so this was a big result for them. | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
They climbed above Boro after that. Things seemed to be going better | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
for them at Hull yesterday, though, Marvin Emnes putting Tony Mowbray's | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
side ahead. But how many times have they gone in front and then failed | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
to hold on to the lead? Funny you should ask that, Dawn! | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
Cos I checked it out this afternoon - nine times by my reckoning - this | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
is the first time they've been in front and not come out with | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
anything. Eight times they were held to a draw, Matty Fryatt's late | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
goal for Hull means, this season, Boro have left 19 points slip away | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:07. | ||
from a winning position. I couldn't see them scoring. Very poor goal to | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
concede. It get them a bit of relief on the terraces and on the | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
pitch. They got the rewards very late on. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
And what that means is that Boro drop out of the play-off zone. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Yes, they're down to eighth now, two points behind Cardiff, with | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
just six games to play. They need to find a win from somewhere! | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
Yes, by any means possible. Into League One now and Carlisle | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
and Hartlepool drew all their games over Easter, Dawn? Yes, they both | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
kicked off the long weekend by taking the lead away from home. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
There was an element of good fortune for the Cumbrians as J.P. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
McGovern's shot went in via the bar and a deflection, although Wycombe | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
equalised late on. Hartlepool also conceded a late | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
equaliser. That after taking the lead at Colchester thanks to | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Anthony Sweeney's header. By yesterday, though, the goals had | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
dried up for both clubs. And Carlisle's failure to score against | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Scunthorpe - Lee Miller probably went closest at Brunton Park, | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
allowed Notts County to squeeze them out of the play-off places. At | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
least Hartlepool managed to hold another top six contender Brentford | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
at Victoria Park, although scoring goals at home is becoming a problem. | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
A disallowed effort apart, Ryan Noble, on loan from Sunderland in | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
the orange boots, came closest to breaking the deadlock. | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
13 games they have played this season without a goal. Not great. | :23:27. | :23:37. | |

Sunshine and showers is going to this story after this week. After | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
the record-breaking temperatures and snow, we return to more | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
traditional springtime there for this week. A great weather picture | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
to start us off. Thank you to Simon Elliott for this photo. The | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
headline to go with him: Showers and bright spells over much of this | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
week. April showers through today, turning into April showers this | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
evening for much of the north-east. Dry and clear up for some time in | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
the West, although a couple of showers here as well. Many parts of | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
the North Pennines, dry and cold by dawn. Temperatures down to three | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
degrees. Maybe colder in some countryside locations. The | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
possibility of a touch of frost in rural spots. First thing tomorrow, | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
lots of sunshine for the West and parts of North Yorkshire, but | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
plenty of showers on the coast. Through the late morning and early | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
afternoon, the showers will become more widespread. Things will turn | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
pretty unsettled. Showers over the North Pennines will turn thundery, | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
maybe even with pale and a rumble of thunder as we cross West words. | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
Things are drier and brighter generally here. Everywhere the | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
temperatures are about average for the time of year, around 10 degrees. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
Tomorrow, it will be in the 40s to know the 50s in Fahrenheit. Pretty | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
pleasant if you were in one of the sunny spells, not so great in the | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
heavy downpours. It continues in the same theme for this week. | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Further forward, low pressure in charge, keeping things unsettled, | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
for the East in particular. More sunshine and showers for much of | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
the north-east on Thursday. Dry air but cloudy in the West. For parts | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
of the North Yorkshire coast, on Friday, we are forecasting some of | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
their showers fought Tyneside and winning -- where side could have | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
some sleet or hailed mixed in. A bit of a colder day, a northerly | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
breeze on Friday, and we could get more sleep over the hills of the | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
North Pennines and the North York Moors as well. It is very much | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
average, this kind of weather. Bright for many of the mornings and | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
then the relative warmth of the day. They are unleashed their energy in | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
the heavy showers, some of which could be boundary as well tomorrow | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
and Peru to Thursday and Friday. April showers, and if you are out | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
and about in them with your cameras, we would love to see pictures of | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
them. The winner of our mouth where there competition will be announced. | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
You know where to send your pictures. -- March whether | :26:17. | :26:20. | |

headlines: The European Court of Human Rights | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
has agreed that five terror suspects held in the UK, including | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
the radical cleric Abu Hamza, can be extradited to the United States. | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
And Nissan has unveiled plans for a fifth new model to be produced at | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
its Sunderland car plant. There'll be more than 6,000 workers at the | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
