:01:19. > :01:26.strenuously denied she was having a relationship with her killer.
:01:26. > :01:31.Reports suggested that the gunman killed her in a jealous rage. But
:01:31. > :01:40.the family say that this is a boy to have his sentence reduced, —— Roy,
:01:40. > :01:47.because crimes of passion can see sentences reduced and Turkish
:01:47. > :01:54.courts. This is the villa where a family birth date celebration ended

:02:05. > :02:12.bathroom, but the gunman tracked her down and killed her. Her son remains
:02:13. > :02:16.in hospital. I managed to spend just a couple of minutes at the hospital
:02:16. > :02:21.this morning with Alex, it is a difficult time for him. The Lott has
:02:21. > :02:26.done considerable damage, and obviously, she has to come to terms
:02:26. > :02:36.with the deal he has been through and the fact that his mother has
:02:36. > :02:41.lost her life. —— the bullet. The doctors say that he will need to
:02:41. > :02:49.stay for at least one week. The emotional impact will last much
:02:49. > :02:57.longer. Today we moved him from intensive care to normal service. He
:02:57. > :03:03.has overcome life—threatening risks. The family garden is the main

:03:06. > :03:12.suggestions that he may have had a deeper relationship with Anne Bury,
:03:12. > :03:20.although this is denied by the family. What we know for certain is
:03:20. > :03:28.that he was initially arrested on Saturday. The following day there
:03:28. > :03:36.was a birthday party at the family villa. The governor returned in the

:03:54. > :04:01.Questions remain about how a family party in the sun ended in a violent
:04:01. > :04:10.murder. Back home in North Yorks, family friends have spent today
:04:10. > :04:19.reflecting on the tragedy. Today we pray for the village, and the family
:04:19. > :04:35.and friends of Anne Bury. Morning players in a village still in shock

:04:42. > :04:45.village makes it even more shocking. Alex is a regular volunteer helping
:04:45. > :04:56.people with sicknesses and disabilities. Last night, around 200
:04:56. > :05:00.friends turned out at a service. He gives up his holiday time and gets
:05:00. > :05:07.quite a bit of money to support those who need it. —— devs. It is a
:05:07. > :05:15.measure of a lad that the church was full for him. Further prayers for
:05:15. > :05:33.the family will be said this weekend.
:05:33. > :05:41.The jobless rate has risen again in the north—east. 136,000 people are
:05:41. > :05:50.out of work and claiming unemployment benefit. The regional

:06:56. > :07:05.afford to eat. I have had to visit a food bank on two occasions. It is
:07:06. > :07:09.not right. I feel degraded. Today, a city council report said that some

:08:16. > :08:25.will make 3 million people better off. These are worrying numbers.
:08:25. > :08:32.Ministers say that it all needs to be put into a wider context.
:08:32. > :08:42.They say that the aim is to make work pay. Boost the economy, a
:08:42. > :08:47.virtuous circle, if you like. But some of the report is based on
:08:47. > :08:52.estimates that had not been introduced yet, things like
:08:52. > :08:58.universal credits. The unemployment figures muddy the
:08:58. > :09:00.waters. If you measure the figures in
:09:00. > :09:06.different time slot you get different results. The latest chunk
:09:06. > :09:16.of unemployment figures sees a 3% rise. But compare the year on year,
:09:16. > :09:19.it is unchanged, steady. Politicians, unsurprisingly, will

:16:42. > :16:58.Canale, who is bound to be the pantomime villain. It looks very
:16:58. > :17:06.busy. A decent attendance? They could be an excess of 47,000. And
:17:06. > :17:08.some players who did not always get on. But there will be handshakes
:17:08. > :17:19.tonight. All in a good cause. We will have a report from that game
:17:19. > :17:22.on the late news. It is one year since the closing ceremony of the
:17:22. > :17:38.Paralympics. It turned many into celebrities. Including our very own
:17:38. > :17:41.joseph Craig, MBE. But one world champion was not represented because
:17:41. > :17:44.her discipline was not included. But that will change in Rio. Charlotte

:18:06. > :18:16.recognition she believes it deserves. It is very exciting to see
:18:16. > :18:22.this become a Paralympic sport. A whole range of disabilities, it is
:18:22. > :18:26.an exciting sport, and things can change, somebody can be good at one
:18:26. > :18:31.discipline, not so much the other. The lead can change throughout the
:18:31. > :18:38.race. Next challenge, regain her world crown. Along with another
:18:38. > :18:44.Gateshead triathletes, Emily P Populous, she will compete in London

:19:18. > :19:21.to all types of runners. She has launched a running school which is
:19:21. > :19:28.the first of its kind in the north—east. We look at efficiency
:19:28. > :19:34.and fluency. From that we can identify what needs to be modified.
:19:34. > :19:45.Lots of people do not know how to run properly. That is how they get

:20:10. > :20:15.125th anniversary. It has enjoyed a whole new lease of life in recent
:20:15. > :20:18.years. Mention Jesmond to most cricket supporters and that they
:20:18. > :20:24.will tell you about great players who have turned out there in the
:20:24. > :20:31.1980s. But the game had been played there for more than 100 years prior.
:20:31. > :20:35.Letters have recently come to light showing how some of the big names of
:20:35. > :20:39.Victorian society helped the Northumberland County club purchase
:20:39. > :20:44.the ground at the end of the 19th century. They came from all over the

:21:34. > :21:44.the field. But they were very impressed. That made it nice for us.
:21:44. > :21:49.It took off from the. With neighbours Durham are moving into
:21:49. > :21:53.the first—class game in 1992 the Northumberland ground became rather
:21:53. > :21:57.overshadowed. But then the Newcastle Royal Grammar School agreed to move
:21:57. > :22:09.and as tenants. The improvements in recent years our beer for all to
:22:09. > :22:15.see. —— are there. It is like a little game in the middle of the
:22:15. > :22:18.town. It is beautiful. —— game. Crucial games for Durham and
:22:18. > :22:23.Yorkshire began today as they both battled it out for top spot in the
:22:23. > :22:27.County championship. Durham started out 14.5 points ahead with three
:22:27. > :22:34.games to play. But rain meant that there were only 30 overs bowled.
:22:34. > :22:43.Bad light stopped play early at Hove.
:22:43. > :22:51.Sunday's great North run is fast approaching. We have seen most
:22:51. > :22:56.things over the years. Every fancy dress costume you could imagine. But
:22:56. > :23:01.not many people can claim to have run the famous course without
:23:01. > :23:09.trailers. But that is the plan of Steve Woods. He will run your foot.
:23:09. > :23:15.—— barefoot. It is not something you see everyday. I usually get some
:23:15. > :23:20.quite funny comments. People have gone past in the car and turned
:23:20. > :23:26.round and came back again driving slowly to have a proper look. It
:23:26. > :23:30.makes you smirk. He said he wanted to do something different. Something
:23:30. > :23:37.that would stand out. But running like this brings extra risk. Klass
