:01:06. > :01:11.Road and rail links were hit. Some property owner will be out of their
:01:11. > :01:15.home for months. The cost is starting to be calculated. In North
:01:15. > :01:20.Yorkshire alone the council estimates the repair bill stands at
:01:20. > :01:27.�3 million. Richard Thomas is in Scorton tonight. One of a number of
:01:27. > :01:30.communities badly affected? Well, in is Scorton beck, which son the
:01:30. > :01:34.outskirts of the village. It is quite swollen because there has
:01:34. > :01:39.been a bit of rain this will flow into the River Swale. It is not the
:01:39. > :01:42.water that is the problem. It is the bridge which spans it. There is
:01:42. > :01:45.evidence everywhere of emergency repair work being undertaken. Three
:01:45. > :01:49.weeks' ago on the night of the floods part of the foundations were
:01:49. > :01:54.washed away and a hole appeared in the road which crosss over the top
:01:54. > :01:56.of the bredge, so the council have put an emergency bridge in to allow
:01:56. > :02:01.cars to don't use it there is evidence of the police tape that
:02:01. > :02:06.was put across the public footpath to deter pedestrians from crossing
:02:06. > :02:10.the water so high were the levels. Three weeks on and one of the main
:02:10. > :02:14.routes through Scorton is still not repaired T water washed away part
:02:14. > :02:19.of the bridge's structure. It made a huge hole in the sur tais,

:02:23. > :02:28.difficult. -- surface. For the first three or four days, village
:02:28. > :02:32.life was affected a great deal. This is the main link between
:02:33. > :02:38.Teesside and Cleveland, and and the west, which of course leads to the
:02:38. > :02:42.A1, but that the time the A1 itself was closed for I believe it was
:02:42. > :02:47.three days, for about 40 miles. miles away in Gilling West, they
:02:47. > :02:53.are clearing up too. More than 20 people here are still not in their
:02:53. > :02:56.homes. 16 of them from this nursing home. The whole episode has left
:02:56. > :03:01.the villagers feeling vulnerable. What everybody wants is some action
:03:01. > :03:06.to be taken. As I see it all we can do is to go to the various
:03:06. > :03:10.authorities, and organisations and say "This is what we want." Please
:03:10. > :03:15.help and that is support materially and financially. So if we can get
:03:15. > :03:18.those two, then the villagers are prepared to go and dig the river
:03:18. > :03:23.out, but it it still need money. Now the the immediate threat is
:03:23. > :03:28.gone, the talk turns to money. And who will foot the bill. It will
:03:28. > :03:32.seem that the County Council might well have to foot the bill, and of
:03:32. > :03:37.course, the budget is under pressure not only from high ways
:03:37. > :03:41.but all sorts of services which we provide, and of course, within high
:03:41. > :03:46.ways, there are constant pressures and one of these is that we are
:03:46. > :03:50.catching up on two-years of pothole damage, and that is still a battle
:03:50. > :03:54.we are having to fight. And of course at this stage, the three
:03:54. > :03:58.million repair bill is only a conservative estimate. This bridge
:03:59. > :04:04.alone will cost �600,000 to repair. That is a fifth of the total budget.
:04:04. > :04:08.And the longer the repairs take to do, the more it will cost. But this
:04:08. > :04:14.is just one County. If we include the flood damage in Teesside,
:04:14. > :04:20.Tyneside and Northumberland, then �3 million is a drop in the ocean.
:04:20. > :04:26.So what about these other areas then? What are the local councils
:04:26. > :04:31.saying? Well, they are yet to calculate last month the flooding
:04:31. > :04:36.cost them. We know North Yorkshire put a figure of �3 million but two
:04:36. > :04:42.councils are given us the flooding estimate damage for just one day,
:04:42. > :04:47.in the summer. Go back to June 28th, thunder Thursday. South Tyne siend
:04:47. > :04:53.and Newcastle council say that day cost them �12 million in damages.
:04:53. > :04:57.Morpeth in Northumberland was badly flood damaged last month. The
:04:57. > :05:02.council say it has cost them �200,000 but the big releasers were
:05:02. > :05:05.the people of Newburn, where people haved that to leave their homes,
:05:05. > :05:15.they won't be able to go back because the houses will be
:05:15. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:22.demolished shortly. The future of the Friarage Hospital at
:05:22. > :05:27.Northallerton is being discussed in London. Anne McIntosh raised the
:05:27. > :05:32.issue of North Yorkshire hospitals with the new Health Minister Dr

:05:44. > :05:49.Polish man was stabbed to death outside his home. Piotr Kulinski, a
:05:49. > :05:53.factory worker, was pronounced dead in the cul-de-sac where he lived.
:05:53. > :05:59.Magistrates have given detectives extra time to question five men and
:05:59. > :06:05.one woman in connection with his death. Now she thought she had
:06:05. > :06:08.bought the perfect holiday home. �10,000 for a static caravan on the
:06:08. > :06:11.coast. But Louise Baines from Anfield plain was then diagnosed
:06:11. > :06:15.with cancer and the treatment she is about to start means it will be
:06:15. > :06:20.a long while before she can get to the caravan. So, she decided to
:06:20. > :06:26.sell it back to the caravan park, and was offered just �500. We have
:06:26. > :06:30.been on the case today, and tonight, there is a happier ending. Our
:06:30. > :06:35.chief reporter has the story. It's a five-star site and it is not
:06:35. > :06:39.surprising. Play areas, bar, restaurant, gym, it has got its own
:06:39. > :06:45.swimming pool, which is why Louise Baines wanted a caravan there, for
:06:45. > :06:53.her and husband Lewis, their three- year-old daughter and baby lie yon,
:06:53. > :06:59.so off they went to amble Links and spent �10,000 on this 14 years old,
:06:59. > :07:05.but simply perfect. Until some shock news. I was diagnosed with
:07:05. > :07:11.breast cancer on September 13th. And the nurse said it is going to
:07:11. > :07:13.be a hard year. My treatment and things which starts next Friday, so
:07:13. > :07:19.but I am staying positive, and we just knew if it was going to be a
:07:19. > :07:23.hard year, she said, I said we had a caravan and thing, and with it
:07:23. > :07:28.being an hour to get there, so maybe better off being at home and
:07:28. > :07:31.things, so it was going to be a year wasted. I thought we might as
:07:31. > :07:37.well sell it. Shock number two, the park said it wouldn't want to try
:07:37. > :07:42.to sell on a caravan more than ten years old, and she was offered �500.
:07:42. > :07:46.For a caravan bought just a year earlier. Spotted the
:07:46. > :07:50.inconsistencies, if you can't normally sell your caravan here
:07:50. > :07:56.once it gets beyond ten years why was Louise sold a caravan that was
:07:56. > :08:02.already 14 years? The answer? It is the recession. Not so much money
:08:02. > :08:08.about these days, say the park owners Park Leisure, they say that
:08:08. > :08:11.perswaifded them to make the odd exception and they say offered �500
:08:11. > :08:15.later increased to �1500 that is all they were offered. But this
:08:15. > :08:21.afternoon they took Look North they will sit down again with Louise and
:08:21. > :08:29.because she is a special case, they will be offering �6-7,000. Louise
:08:29. > :08:32.said she looks forward to that and Lee yon seems fairly content too.
:08:32. > :08:41.You can find out what people are saying about this on our Facebook
:08:41. > :08:44.page. Red flashing light t a a level cross, they mean stop of
:08:44. > :08:50.course, not everyone thinks that applies to them. Every year there
:08:50. > :08:53.are near misses and worse as drivers take risks, now the Nexus
:08:54. > :09:03.have installed red light cameras at another crossing to try to put a
:09:03. > :09:06.stop to it. Will that work? We have all seen them but pictures like
:09:06. > :09:12.these, not to mention people being killed aren't enough to stop the
:09:12. > :09:15.chancers, now they are hoping that cameras that snap your number plate
:09:15. > :09:21.might be this is Kingston Park, one of the busiest level crossings on
:09:21. > :09:28.the Metro network. We reckon about once a week on average, at one of
:09:28. > :09:34.our five level crossings, somebody is distracted or stupid enough not
:09:34. > :09:37.to stop at a red light. It isn't complicated A red light means one
:09:37. > :09:41.thing, in Kingston Park or Kathmandu, and that is stop. Of
:09:41. > :09:45.course we have had red light cameras on our roads for many years,
:09:45. > :09:49.so if people are so keen to take a chance, is this going to be enough
:09:49. > :09:54.of a deterrent? Come to think of it, isn't it time you went the whole
:09:54. > :09:58.hog and put barriers in? It is difficult to justify that for a
:09:58. > :10:02.publicly funded network like this. If it saves a life what kuz the
:10:02. > :10:08.money matter? Matters because it has to come out of our council tax
:10:08. > :10:12.and you would still have people jumping over the barrier, trying to
:10:12. > :10:18.force them Opus Dei. You might think I am making it up, people
:10:18. > :10:22.have used their cars as battering rams. If commonsense isn't enough
:10:22. > :10:26.three points and a fine might be. On the other hand there has been a
:10:26. > :10:32.camera down the line aticaler on the parkway for more than four year,
:10:32. > :10:36.this year alone there have been nearly 200 prosecutions there.
:10:36. > :10:41.People take unnecessary risks, that is why we are getting people to
:10:41. > :10:44.think twice, and this should act as a deterrent. Sometimes it's a split
:10:44. > :10:53.second decision people are making. It is important they think long and
:10:53. > :10:58.hard before they put people's lives in danger. A remote Cumbrian
:10:58. > :11:02.village that was without mains electricity for ten months has been
:11:02. > :11:05.connected. Wasdale Head one of the last places to be connected back in
:11:05. > :11:10.1977. The underwater cable that brought their electricity to the
:11:10. > :11:20.area voted Britain's favourite view went wrong on Christmas Eve 2011.
:11:20. > :11:22.
:11:22. > :11:25.But today its replacement began working. Peace at last T generators
:11:25. > :11:31.that gave Wasdale Head power for the past ten months were finally
:11:31. > :11:33.switched off. The mains electricity was reconnected to the small West
:11:33. > :11:38.Cumbrian community. When the electricity fist went off we were
:11:38. > :11:43.told we would be back on mains by Easter. And then that turned into
:11:43. > :11:49.June, that turned into August, and then that turned into today. So we
:11:49. > :11:53.just -- we are just happy it is here. To walk outside and hear the
:11:54. > :11:58.nature of as oppose to the hum is lovely. The power went off on
:11:58. > :12:01.Christmas Eve, a fault with the cable below the waterline proved
:12:01. > :12:06.impossible to fix. The first generators brought into the area
:12:07. > :12:10.were noisy and unreliable, and had to be replaced. Then, an attempt to
:12:10. > :12:14.put another cable under the only road there failed in the summer,
:12:14. > :12:20.because the frowned was too hard., So over the past few weeks a new
:12:20. > :12:25.cable has been laid, back in the lake. A we spoke cable designed for
:12:25. > :12:30.us for this project. It is 1600 metres long. It's a continuous link.
:12:30. > :12:33.There no joints and that is normally the weak point of an
:12:34. > :12:38.electricity network, so we are confident this will stand the test
:12:38. > :12:42.of test and provide power for many years to come. If there was a fault
:12:42. > :12:46.would we be back in this situation again? We would need to replace the
:12:46. > :12:54.cable, but I must stress, the actual likelihood of a fault on
:12:54. > :12:58.this cable is low. An underwater cable brought mains electricity to
:12:58. > :13:08.Wasdale Head for the first time in 1977. Today that same method is not

:14:27. > :14:32.think I would, and I would love to volunteer in something hike this.
:14:32. > :14:38.think you would probably get from local people any way a lot of
:14:38. > :14:43.support, because obviously, there is quite an interest in revialing
:14:43. > :14:48.or keeping going some of the Railtracks. The railway already
:14:48. > :14:53.carries 35,000 passengers a year, and puts �3 million into the local

:16:34. > :16:38.us have a chat to some of the school-children who found it. Who
:16:38. > :16:46.found it first? What did you think? I didn't know what to think at
:16:46. > :16:50.first, I just thought, wow, but it was like basically looking at a
:16:50. > :16:55.ghost from the past. Were you scared? I was really scared stkpwh.
:16:55. > :17:00.What did you see? I saw the rib cage and the spine and I touched
:17:00. > :17:06.the rib cage and I shouted out, I just touched the ribs. The whole
:17:06. > :17:11.cage was poking out from under the sand? Yes. I heard one of you found
:17:11. > :17:17.a kneecap, who was that? Me. What did you do with it? I swimmed it
:17:17. > :17:23.across the see sea. You skimmed a prehistoric relic across the sea.
:17:23. > :17:27.Yes. I you thought it was a stone. Yes Do you regret that now. Yes,
:17:27. > :17:32.Thank you for talking to us, here you are, a few metres away from,
:17:32. > :17:36.few hundred metres from the sea over there, close to Hartlepool, is

:17:40. > :17:44.like this, so close to the seaside? It is unusual. It happens very
:17:44. > :17:49.occasionally, but this is a rare find, yes. Now what do you know
:17:49. > :17:55.about this skeleton from what you have been able to see already?
:17:55. > :18:00.the moment, we think it's a prehistoric burial, that is mainly
:18:00. > :18:03.based on the position of the body crouched, on its side that. Is a

:18:16. > :18:23.they been able to help you? We wouldn't have found it if it hadn't

:18:41. > :18:46.established we were dealing with ancient bones. Thank you for

:21:50. > :21:54.accompanies the big gape. It is difficult with the break because
:21:54. > :21:59.you lose half the team. There is only ten of us left. It is
:21:59. > :22:02.unfortunate that the way that game has been put in the fixture list,
:22:02. > :22:06.it is after this international break but it's the same for them,
:22:06. > :22:10.and we get the rest of the lads back on Thursday and we will look

:22:14. > :22:18.derby for Robbie Elliott this year, the former Newcastle and Sunderland

:22:47. > :22:51.starting in Lisbon, passing through Porto then on to Barcelona.
:22:51. > :23:00.Eindhoven. Fulham Westminsterly stadium and Ipswich, before ending

:23:04. > :23:08.mentally, my playing career has help me with that, the big breaks
:23:08. > :23:12.in the football. The main thing is the family members I have lost and
:23:12. > :23:18.Sir bobby, that will drive me through the hard times of the ride.
:23:18. > :23:22.Cycling round 150 miles a day Robbie and Phil Grey have gone

:23:25. > :23:30.terrain means they will need all the extra help they can get. By the
:23:30. > :23:34.end of the third day we will have climbed the equivalent of Everest.
:23:34. > :23:38.I didn't tell him that until a few days ago. We have another day
:23:38. > :23:42.coming out of Geneva, that is the single, the most climbing in one
:23:43. > :23:46.day we will have and it's a long day, it is about 160 miles we have
:23:46. > :23:51.to do that day. Mind on the task at hand, but Robbie Elliott admits he
:23:51. > :23:56.will be listening out for Sunday's score. I will hopefully have it on
:23:56. > :24:01.the radio if I can. Hopefully it will get me through the tough bit
:24:01. > :24:08.of the ride. My six month spell at Sunderland didn't go to plan in the
:24:08. > :24:11.end, but I am a Newcastle lad, a fan, and that is the way it is.
:24:12. > :24:16.good luck to lads there. Our League One teams are in action tonight.

:24:33. > :24:37.tournament favourites Sydney sixers in the Champions League Twenty20 in
:24:37. > :24:42.South Africa today. The Tykes won the toss and elected to bat first
:24:42. > :24:52.but they were always going to be up against it. Joe Root top scored
:24:52. > :24:56.with 25 hitting the on the six for Yorkshire of the game. The Aussies
:24:56. > :25:02.started as they meant to go on, and they didn't mess about. Reaching
:25:02. > :25:07.the target in less than nine overs, to win by eight wickets. Yorkshire
:25:07. > :25:13.will face Mumbai Indians on Thursday so it won't get any easier.
:25:13. > :25:15.Now, after a spell of beautiful crisp autumn day, boy are we paying
:25:15. > :25:20.crisp autumn day, boy are we paying the price. Is it wet everywhere
:25:20. > :25:25.Paul? It brought all sorts today. Wet and cold today. They were the
:25:25. > :25:29.two notable thens, many places had half an inch of rain, and with
:25:29. > :25:32.saturated ground, that did cause some problems withstanding water,
:25:32. > :25:36.but it was cold today, the temperatures really struggled under
:25:36. > :25:42.that blanket of cloud. The only place I could find in the region
:25:42. > :25:47.that hit double figures was Durham Tees Valley airport. That rain was
:25:47. > :25:51.heavy at times but you can see the thicker cloud and the heavier rain
:25:51. > :25:55.spiralling away, out over the North Sea. We are into a drier slot of
:25:55. > :25:59.weather for the time being. So as we head into the evening, the sunny
:25:59. > :26:03.spells that ended the day give way and a fairly cold first half to the
:26:03. > :26:13.night. Temperatures dip down to two or three grease. Later in the night
:26:13. > :26:16.the cloud thickens up again. The cloud is accompanied by rain. So
:26:16. > :26:22.tomorrow morning that wet weather and windy weather spread across the
:26:22. > :26:27.region, fairly quickly. Many places have a wet start to the day. We see
:26:27. > :26:30.an improvement, dry, brighter weather spread to most place, rain
:26:30. > :26:34.might be slow to clear on the Scottish Borders. Further south is
:26:34. > :26:39.where we will see the best of the sunshine. So places like Stockton
:26:39. > :26:44.and York should see the best temperatures. Still a brisk south
:26:44. > :26:48.to south-westerly wind. So that is the picture for tomorrow. The low
:26:48. > :26:54.pressure stays in charge as we head through the next few days, so there
:26:54. > :26:57.will be some rain at times, and as we head to the weekend things start
:26:57. > :27:00.to change again. High pressure starts to build to the east, and
:27:00. > :27:04.that should settle things down as we head through Saturday and Sunday.
:27:04. > :27:07.So we will keep you updated on that. Here is how it is looking for the
:27:07. > :27:11.few days in between. Thursday and Friday, there will be some cloud
:27:11. > :27:15.round, outbreaks of rain but it won't be wet all the time and the
:27:15. > :27:19.temperatures recover back to the low teens by day, sixes and sevens
:27:20. > :27:22.overnight. The North East similar enough cloud to produce patchy rain
:27:22. > :27:25.through Thursday and Friday. Drier and brighter and temperatures where
:27:25. > :27:30.they should be for this time of they should be for this time of
