:00:00. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight — A new father dies
:00:09. > :00:13.while out celebrating the birth of his son.
:00:13. > :00:16.Police launch an investigation. The North plays a leading role in a
:00:16. > :00:20.national crackdown on organised crime, but critics claim it's part
:00:21. > :00:23.of a police cost—cutting drive. Fighting flu the painless way.
:00:23. > :00:30.Schoolchildren are vaccinated by nasal spray, instead of needles.
:00:30. > :00:36.And Run Geordie Run — why this man's slogging 2,600 miles across
:00:36. > :00:40.Australia in 40 days. In sport, the best of the weekend
:00:40. > :00:43.action, plus as Sunderland fans await confirmation of a new manager,
:00:43. > :00:46.Newcastle supporters are hailing a new goal hero, even if loan signing
:00:46. > :01:01.Loic Remy isn't ready to talk about his long—term future just yet.
:01:01. > :01:07.He was a young dad, out celebrating the birth of his baby boy. So just
:01:07. > :01:11.how and why did the evening end so tragically for Benji Bolsenbroek?
:01:11. > :01:14.Even though CCTV footage shows Benji being assaulted at a pub in
:01:14. > :01:18.Middlesbrough, police say they're not yet treating it as a murder
:01:18. > :01:24.inquiry. They also say a postmortem examination hasn't shown exactly how
:01:24. > :01:28.23—year—old Benji died. Our Chief Reporter, Chris Stewart, has the
:01:28. > :01:32.story. Benji Bolsenbroeke, 23 and a dad for
:01:32. > :01:36.less than a week. His girlfriend Georgina says her only comfort is
:01:36. > :01:41.that he did at least live to see their son Kianey. He died after
:01:41. > :01:44.ending up here with friends to celebrate the baby's birth. An
:01:44. > :01:48.invitation to friends to join him had been posted on Facebook. In
:01:48. > :01:52.another message, he said he couldn't be happier. This afternoon, the
:01:52. > :01:56.police revealed there'd been a large—scale disturbance at the Park
:01:56. > :02:01.Hotel. Benji had been assaulted, but disappeared before police officers
:02:01. > :02:05.arrived. He turned up here at his mum's house. Today, the police were
:02:05. > :02:09.searching for clues here, too. His mum Rose took him to hospital after
:02:09. > :02:18.he said he was feeling unwell, but he died soon after arriving. His
:02:18. > :02:25.family say they're devastated. They were very close—knit family. It has
:02:25. > :02:29.been a roller—coaster ride, they have had the joyous occasion when
:02:29. > :02:33.their child was born a three days before this incident and then this
:02:33. > :02:43.tragedy. They are finding it very difficult to cope. I am determined
:02:43. > :02:51.that we will investigate this matter thoroughly to try and get them some
:02:52. > :03:00.answers as to how and why he died. My grandson went around with Benji,
:03:00. > :03:08.I knew him. What kind of man was he? He was just a normal life. I know is
:03:08. > :03:11.mum. Devastating, isn't it? These things happen, don't they? The Park
:03:11. > :03:14.Hotel on Linthorpe Road is equipped with a CCTV system and the
:03:14. > :03:22.disturbance and the assault on Benji was recorded. The police say the
:03:22. > :03:26.quality of the CCTV is very good. They want those who are involved to
:03:26. > :03:33.contact them because they say it is only a matter of time before a
:03:33. > :03:43.police officer knocks on their door. A postmortem has failed to identify
:03:43. > :03:46.the exact cause of death. Meanwhile, a 42—year—old man has
:03:46. > :03:49.been charged with the murder of a 28—year—old man in Middlesbrough.
:03:49. > :03:52.Officers were called to Marton Road in the early hours of yesterday
:03:52. > :03:56.where Andrew Hopkins was found with stab wounds, he died later in
:03:56. > :03:59.hospital. It's being dubbed the British FBI
:03:59. > :04:02.and police in our region are claiming the new National Crime
:04:02. > :04:05.Agency will have organised criminals "on the run." Designed to bring
:04:05. > :04:07.closer co—operation between local police and national crime—fighters,
:04:07. > :04:11.senior officers believe it'll help them identify and disrupt big—time
:04:12. > :04:14.crooks. Critics claim it's part of "a cost—cutting drive." Peter Harris
:04:14. > :04:25.is at Durham Police headquarters now. This is about high end
:04:25. > :04:30.criminals of which there are reckoned to be less than 400 here in
:04:30. > :04:44.Durham and those other people this new agency is meant to target.
:04:44. > :04:49.Even Al Capone was caught in the end. Now, Durham Police hopes its
:04:49. > :05:01.work with the new National Crime Agency will disrupt the modern day
:05:01. > :05:05.Mr Bigs. We are starting to join together the national, international
:05:05. > :05:11.and the local. I see this as an opportunity to make life is very
:05:11. > :05:16.difficult for organised criminals. Durham police believe that around
:05:16. > :05:21.370 people are angry —— involved in organised crime. There could be
:05:21. > :05:26.firearms or drugs or child exploitation. The idea is that
:05:26. > :05:30.offices at this level will target them at... Disrupting them. Dubbed
:05:30. > :05:33.the British FBI, the theory is the National Crime Agency will allow
:05:33. > :05:36.more working together so bigger criminals can be hassled for more
:05:36. > :05:48.minor matters like car tax at local level. It has powers to force police
:05:48. > :05:52.forces to actually get involved in their work, so it will be an
:05:52. > :05:56.interesting conflict, I think. It will create tensions in itself. One
:05:56. > :06:01.big problem I think is the reduction in funding. These things need
:06:01. > :06:06.funding properly, they need resources and if they don't have
:06:06. > :06:10.resources, it would do the job. —— won't do the job. This is the third
:06:10. > :06:14.shake—up of how serious crime is policed in 15 years. The test for
:06:14. > :06:20.forces like Durham will be whether, like Al Capone, the county's 370
:06:20. > :06:28.major crooks find their time is up. So, Peter, will all this really make
:06:28. > :06:32.a difference to big—time criminals? If you speak to officers in a force
:06:32. > :06:36.like Durham, they will say that they often felt in the dark about what
:06:36. > :06:40.National crime agencies were up to and who they were after. This is
:06:40. > :06:44.supposed to stop intelligence slipping through the net. The Labour
:06:44. > :06:48.Party said this is a rebranding exercise, this is concealing
:06:48. > :06:51.cost—cutting measures. We have been speaking to the Chief Constable at
:06:51. > :06:55.Durham who feels this is a good thing and they will get on with it.
:06:55. > :06:58.Primary schoolchildren in Gateshead and Cumbria are taking part in a flu
:06:58. > :07:00.vaccination programme that'll eventually be rolled out nationwide.
:07:00. > :07:03.They're among seven local authority areas across the country where a
:07:03. > :07:07.nasal spray, instead of an injection, is given to all children
:07:07. > :07:11.aged 11 or under, whose parents agree to the vaccination. Adrian
:07:11. > :07:18.Pitches reports from Ryton Community Infant School in Gateshead.
:07:18. > :07:32.This young man doesn't flinch as he receives his nasal flu vaccine this
:07:32. > :07:36.morning. How did it feel for you? Just like fizzy lemonade in a water
:07:36. > :07:39.gun. Until now, the flu vaccine was reserved for the elderly and those
:07:39. > :07:45.in poor health but the new strategy aims to prevent flu spreading
:07:45. > :07:53.through the community. It is important that children at this age
:07:53. > :07:56.—— they are very good at spreading through virus. If they haven't been
:07:56. > :08:00.immunised, not only did they spread it to their friends, they can spread
:08:00. > :08:03.it to people like grandparents who may be at risk of more severe
:08:03. > :08:06.illness. Children have to be accompanied by a parent or
:08:06. > :08:13.grandparent which can mean taking time off work but parents seem to
:08:13. > :08:19.think it worthwhile. They're well for and health —— their welfare and
:08:19. > :08:24.health... We thought it is a great thing to have. It is a better thing
:08:24. > :08:29.to have it done than not. It is better than an injection. To be
:08:29. > :08:35.honest, it is a real drag when the kids get poorly, so if we can keep
:08:35. > :08:42.ourselves healthy and at school, it affects the whole family, we had to
:08:42. > :08:47.take time off school and work, so it is about keeping us going. Schools
:08:47. > :08:51.around the region have been two of the pilot areas for this vaccine
:08:52. > :08:56.programme. It is intended to roll it out nationally to all children
:08:56. > :09:03.within a couple of years, using the lessons learned from these pilots.
:09:03. > :09:05.The Tory peer who caused a storm with his comments about the
:09:05. > :09:09."uninhabited" and "desolate" parts of the North East being more
:09:09. > :09:12.suitable for fracking is taking part in a debate in Durham tonight. Lord
:09:12. > :09:14.Howell of Guildford, father—in—law to the Chancellor, George Osborne,
:09:14. > :09:17.said his remarks suggesting the north was better suited than the
:09:17. > :09:21.south to the controversial drilling process known as fracking had been
:09:21. > :09:24.taken out of context. He added that although there were many beautiful
:09:24. > :09:31.areas in the North East, that did not mean that fracking should not
:09:31. > :09:39.take place. I don't want it to see it anywhere where people don't want
:09:39. > :09:44.it. But as it produces jobs and as the skills are particular here and
:09:44. > :09:52.people want it and it can restore areas that have been scarred, indeed
:09:52. > :09:56.the Government... It makes sense to bring the prosperity and the jobs to
:09:56. > :09:59.people. I'm sure people want jobs and prosperity. More of the
:09:59. > :10:02.interview with Lord Howell on BBC Newcastle tomorrow morning from
:10:02. > :10:05.6:30am. The media were the biggest obstacle
:10:05. > :10:07.in the police search for the fugitive gunman, Raoul Moat. That's
:10:07. > :10:10.according to the television presenter and survival expert Ray
:10:10. > :10:12.Mears, who helped the manhunt in Northumberland's remote countryside.
:10:12. > :10:15.For tonight's Inside Out programme, in his first in—depth television
:10:15. > :10:18.interview about his role, Mr Mears says press interference caused
:10:18. > :10:29.serious problems for the police as they attempted to track down the
:10:29. > :10:34.wanted man. Chris Jackson reports. More than three years have passed
:10:34. > :10:39.since one of Britain's biggest manhunts. Members of the public
:10:39. > :10:44.within the area are advised to remain indoors. Armed with a
:10:44. > :10:47.shotgun, Raoul Moat had already murdered, blinded and maimed and was
:10:47. > :10:58.hiding in the woods, threatening to kill again. Armed officers from many
:10:58. > :11:02.forces came to the area. Hidden from public view came television
:11:02. > :11:06.presenter Ray Mears. The police had accepted his offer to lend his
:11:06. > :11:12.skills to track him down. In an interview, he tells me it was not
:11:12. > :11:15.against Forest or about the location but the media that caused his
:11:15. > :11:21.biggest problem. The iMac they were getting in the way. They were trying
:11:21. > :11:26.to come into the woodland. They were trying to see what we were up to.
:11:26. > :11:37.Resources have to be diverted. It could have been... I don't think I
:11:37. > :11:44.will ever trust 24—hour news coverage again. I would like to see
:11:44. > :11:47.journalists say, we have nothing to tell you at the moment. The viewers
:11:47. > :11:53.aren't stupid, they know the difference. I track despite his
:11:53. > :12:00.concerns, he says he and his team of officers came very close to finding
:12:00. > :12:05.their man. We got to within 20 minutes —— meters. I'm convinced he
:12:05. > :12:11.saw us at one point. He has chosen to write about his experiences in a
:12:11. > :12:14.new autobiography, but he denies allegations of profiteering. That is
:12:14. > :12:20.not my interest. I didn't say anything at all at the time about
:12:20. > :12:25.it. The press got a closed door. I'm not trying to sell the book, I just
:12:25. > :12:29.want to tell the story so it is accurately and honestly reported.
:12:29. > :12:34.The manhunt came to a tragic end with a stand—off when he turned his
:12:34. > :12:39.gun on himself. Ray Mears begins his search helped flushing out, but
:12:39. > :12:42.accepts we will never know for sure. And on Inside Out tonight, you can
:12:42. > :12:46.hear how Ray Mears believes there was a real risk of Moat going in
:12:46. > :12:50.search of hostages, if he hadn't been captured. That's on BBC One at
:12:50. > :12:55.7:30pm. For most of us, a trip to the local
:12:55. > :12:58.is a short walk away, but for some it's more of an expedition.
:12:58. > :13:01.Especially if it happens to be the highest pub in the country, the
:13:01. > :13:04.legendary Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire. Well, now one of the
:13:04. > :13:09.pub's former landlords has put pen to paper and written a book about
:13:09. > :13:12.his time there. The Inn at the Top by Neil Hanson has just been
:13:12. > :13:20.published. Phil Chapman went to see him, at Neil's old watering hole.
:13:20. > :13:25.It does tend to get a bit wet —— wet and windy. It is the characters who
:13:25. > :13:30.have passed through over the years which have made for a good book,
:13:30. > :13:35.including some with real barefaced cheek. Some motorists came, they
:13:35. > :13:39.phoned ahead to make sure that... They pitched their tents, but the
:13:39. > :13:44.weather was entirely typical of our peer and they were frozen. The
:13:44. > :13:50.successor says the book is going down a storm with regulars, but
:13:50. > :13:55.things have changed. We have soft on. We have double glazing, we have
:13:55. > :14:01.open fires and raisins —— radiators. We have softened. We have
:14:01. > :14:05.24—hour license now, so in those days, we used to close the windows,
:14:05. > :14:11.that was the real character of pubs in those days. There is still
:14:11. > :14:14.character and attracts many international regulars, including
:14:14. > :14:20.Canadian visitors. Every time we come, we make a trip here. It is one
:14:20. > :14:32.of our favourite places. And Transylvania and visitors. More or
:14:32. > :14:39.less 2000 metres, so maybe higher. Back down here at a mere 1732 feet,
:14:39. > :14:46.Neil had the bright idea of getting a certain double glazing company in.
:14:46. > :14:54.Then he is in 1984. This is the only draft you'll find here. They just
:14:54. > :14:58.happened that they had had the idea themselves and were looking for a
:14:58. > :15:05.location, so we had a new set of windows and Everest had a
:15:05. > :15:09.commercial. Being a Yorkshireman, I would have to say that my favourites
:15:09. > :15:15.chapter is the first, even Heathcliff would not be happier. If
:15:15. > :15:22.you have never been to hear, you can read all about it, maybe from the
:15:22. > :15:26.comfort of your own fireside. After losing both of his parents to
:15:26. > :15:30.cancer, Mark Allison has raised more than £170,000 for charity. His
:15:30. > :15:33.efforts include a run of 3,100 miles across America. And tomorrow he's
:15:33. > :15:38.catching a flight to Australia for his latest challenge. It'll take him
:15:38. > :15:45.from Perth to Sydney, and the route involves running 41 miles a day for
:15:45. > :15:48.70 days on the trot. And this time it's for two North East charities —
:15:48. > :15:53.the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, and the Children's Foundation. Julie
:15:53. > :15:57.Smith reports. For distance runner Mark Allison, an
:15:57. > :16:02.incredible journey awaits. He's running 2,600 miles across
:16:02. > :16:11.Australia. He hopes to raise £50,000 for charity and inspire others to
:16:11. > :16:15.join him. It's no good just running across Australia, you have to take
:16:15. > :16:20.people on the journey with you and that is done via social media and my
:16:20. > :16:23.website. I will be in some quite remote areas with poor signal, so
:16:23. > :16:28.not being able to get the information to people to show my
:16:28. > :16:37.progress is a worry. Mark ran a 3,100 mile run across the USA in
:16:37. > :16:41.2011. Is raised over £105,000. It is by no means a done deal, but I can
:16:41. > :16:47.see the Manhattan skyline in the distance which gives me great heart.
:16:47. > :16:54.It is the monotony of running day in day out. I suppose I will be on the
:16:54. > :16:59.highway from a place called Norse man to Port Augusta, that is 1000
:16:59. > :17:05.miles on the same road. The mental battle there will be considerable.
:17:05. > :17:09.There are two aspects to overcome, that and the physical battle. Mark's
:17:09. > :17:14.main support on the route is Carlton Fletcher. I don't think people can
:17:14. > :17:18.appreciate how difficult this will be. If you think about doing the
:17:18. > :17:23.Great North Run and then when you finish it, doing it twice more and
:17:23. > :17:30.then doing it for many many days more, it is quite phenomenal what he
:17:30. > :17:34.will put himself through. Fantastic! And from one Mark to
:17:34. > :17:39.another, because Mr Tulip has come off the subs' bench to join me for
:17:39. > :17:42.tonight's Team Talk. Well, let's start with a club whose
:17:42. > :17:45.manager went into Saturday's trip to the Dragon's Den under a fair amount
:17:45. > :17:48.of pressure following an inconsistent start to the season.
:17:48. > :17:51.Yes, Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew badly needed a win at Cardiff
:17:51. > :17:55.City after that miserable first half against Everton and he got it. We'll
:17:55. > :17:58.come to the Magpies' only significant summer recruit in a
:17:59. > :18:01.moment, but on a warm afternoon in South Wales, Cardiff boss Malky
:18:02. > :18:06.Mackay will have been confident of getting one over his good friend,
:18:06. > :18:11.Pardew. The game's all about fine margins. A Cardiff goal here after
:18:11. > :18:13.this early mix—up might have made it a pretty sticky afternoon for the
:18:13. > :18:16.visitors. Yes, but even though Papiss Cisse's
:18:16. > :18:19.league goals have dried up, Loic Remy, who eventually signed on loan
:18:19. > :18:23.in the summer, is showing he was well worth the wait and his goals
:18:23. > :18:26.might well determine whether or not owner Mike Ashley hangs on to
:18:26. > :18:28.Pardew's services a season or two longer.
:18:28. > :18:35.And what about Yohan Cabaye? He's going to be a crucial player
:18:35. > :18:40.again this season, his head seems to be in a better place now.
:18:40. > :18:44.That's true. Cardiff did make a fist of it in the second half, a nice
:18:44. > :18:47.finish from Peter Odemwingiwe. But the Magpies held on to an important
:18:47. > :18:51.victory and one achieved for the most part without star man Hatem Ben
:18:51. > :18:54.Arfa, only a late substitute. A brave decision from a manager who's
:18:54. > :19:00.been under close scrutiny all season. It was much more solid at
:19:00. > :19:04.the back. We should have had a penalty for sure that would have
:19:04. > :19:08.killed her game. They were a couple of chances on the break which we may
:19:08. > :19:13.have done better on, but overall for our fans, it is a bit of payback for
:19:13. > :19:17.Monday night. I think they will enjoy that result. We can all go
:19:17. > :19:21.into the bar and scratch our heads a bit about the team, are we really
:19:21. > :19:24.good or are we not sure? It's been reported today that
:19:24. > :19:27.Sunderland are about to announce the 45—year—old Uruguyan, Gus Poyet, as
:19:27. > :19:30.their new manager. Previously in charge at Brighton and a player with
:19:30. > :19:34.Chelsea and Tottenham, Poyet has been among the frontrunners for the
:19:34. > :19:38.job ever since Paolo Di Canio was sacked, just over two weeks ago. The
:19:38. > :19:43.club has yet to make an official comment.
:19:43. > :19:46.Whoever comes in, it'll be a whole new ball game if the current interim
:19:47. > :19:50.head coach isn't kept on and that would be a shame, because Kevin Ball
:19:50. > :19:58.has at least got the team playing decent football. A great start
:19:58. > :20:02.against the champions. But Kevin has been around long enough that you
:20:02. > :20:05.have to take your chances. And can any new manager replicates that
:20:05. > :20:16.first—half display for a full 90 minutes? He ran out of ideas here.
:20:16. > :20:20.The season. Another chance before half—time. After a second—half,
:20:20. > :20:27.Manchester United he qualifies the several countries.
:20:27. > :20:33.Roy Hodgson would like him in an good set up one day, perhaps. David
:20:33. > :20:37.Moyes is the last visiting... That was way back in April, so
:20:37. > :20:43.Sunderland are still stuck at the bottom, but at least they are
:20:43. > :20:45.showing some spirits. It has been fantastic. But I think this is the
:20:45. > :20:53.minimum they should give to themselves. That is how I will move
:20:53. > :21:00.it forward. Do you think you have a chance or should have the chance? I
:21:00. > :21:05.were disappointed man at this moment in time, we will wait and see. There
:21:05. > :21:08.have been rumours that Sunderland could announce an appointment within
:21:08. > :21:11.24 hours. Sunderland aside, it was a pretty
:21:11. > :21:15.good weekend for our football teams and a huge relief for Tony Mowbray's
:21:15. > :21:18.Middlesbrough, who won for only the second time this season. Yes, and he
:21:18. > :21:21.must be hoping Boro have finally turned the corner.
:21:21. > :21:24.They were 19th in the Championship, going into the game against
:21:24. > :21:27.third—bottom Yeovil and really couldn't afford to lose this one,
:21:27. > :21:30.but it didn't start off too well. Liam Davis giving the visitors the
:21:30. > :21:32.lead inside five minutes. Fortunately Boro's response was
:21:32. > :21:35.almost immediate, Grant Leadbitter settling the nerves with a
:21:35. > :21:38.half—volley which bounced through a crowd of players into the net. When
:21:38. > :21:42.George Friend was brought down in the box, Leadbitter had the chance
:21:42. > :21:48.to make it two from the penalty spot. His shot was saved, but Albert
:21:48. > :21:52.Adomah was first to react and knocked it in for his second goal of
:21:52. > :21:55.the season. Boro hadn't actually picked up three League points at the
:21:56. > :21:59.Riverside since they beat Nottingham Forest there last April, but Jacob
:21:59. > :22:02.Butterfield made it 3—1 just after the break, before the game was
:22:02. > :22:04.wrapped up by another deadline—day signing, Kai Kamara.
:22:05. > :22:09.A welcome home win and not before time.
:22:09. > :22:12.Indeed. Elsewhere, there was late drama at
:22:12. > :22:15.Shrewsbury as Carlisle went looking for their fourth win in a row under
:22:15. > :22:19.Graham Kavanagh. The Shrews were ahead with just three minutes of
:22:19. > :22:22.normal time left, when David Amoo equalised from close range. Sean
:22:22. > :22:25.O'Hanlon then looked to have grabbed the winner in the 90th minute, but
:22:25. > :22:28.deep into injury time Paul Parry rescued a point for the home side.
:22:28. > :22:31.Superb result for Colin Cooper's Hartlepool who brought Mansfield's
:22:31. > :22:34.eight—game unbeaten run to a crushing end. Andy Monkhouse's
:22:34. > :22:38.unstoppable 25—yard strike put the visitors in front and Jack Compton
:22:38. > :22:46.doubled the lead just before half time. He got his second just after
:22:46. > :22:49.the break with a curling free kick and although the home side pulled
:22:49. > :22:53.one back, James Poole's 20—yard finish sealed a convincing win. A
:22:53. > :22:59.sign of more to come perhaps? Lets hope so!
:22:59. > :23:02.And a convincing win for York as well who recorded back to back
:23:02. > :23:04.victories for the first time this season.
:23:04. > :23:07.Wes Fletcher put them ahead at Torquay. Josh Carson doubled the
:23:07. > :23:09.lead with superb 25—yard free—kick, before Ryan Jarvis stabbed in their
:23:09. > :23:18.third against his former club. Now, some sad news to report.
:23:19. > :23:21.One of the best—loved figures in the region's non—league football scene,
:23:21. > :23:23.the former Blyth Spartans striker Scott Bell has lost his battle
:23:23. > :23:27.against the progressive muscle—wasting condition, motor
:23:27. > :23:31.neurone disease. Scott, who was 35, and from Cramlington, leaves a widow
:23:31. > :23:36.and young son. A minute's applause will be held at Blyth's home game
:23:36. > :23:39.next Tuesday night. In rugby union, Newcastle Falcons
:23:39. > :23:43.battled to their second win of the season on Saturday and what an
:23:43. > :23:46.important one it was. A defeat to Worcester could have seen Newcastle
:23:46. > :23:50.swap places with them at the bottom of the table, but the Falcons were
:23:50. > :23:53.ten points up inside the first ten minutes, Mike Blair darting over to
:23:53. > :23:57.for his first Falcons try, which Rory Clegg converted. Another
:23:57. > :24:01.penalty meant Newcastle were 13—3 up at the break. Worcester fought their
:24:01. > :24:05.way back into the game and trailed by just two points with ten minutes
:24:05. > :24:08.left on the clock. But Phil Godman nailed a penalty and the defence
:24:09. > :24:10.held firm, to produce a victory which takes the Falcons up to ninth
:24:10. > :24:18.in the Premiership. And we couldn't go without paying
:24:18. > :24:22.tribute to one of the greatest cricketers to come out of the North
:24:22. > :24:25.East — that's Steve Harmison, who's announced his retirement from the
:24:25. > :24:28.game. With more than 220 Test wickets for England to his name, not
:24:28. > :24:32.to mention another 458 for Durham, in his prime, the Ashington Express,
:24:32. > :24:34.as he became known, was one of the most lethal fast bowlers in the
:24:34. > :24:44.world. He certainly was a terrific... Time
:24:44. > :24:48.for the weather. It is starting to turn a bit chilly, I understand.
:24:48. > :24:56.We have one more day of warm sunshine. Here is a lovely picture
:24:56. > :25:00.to start us off. The flying Scotsman winging its way through North
:25:01. > :25:06.Yorkshire. Thank you, Adrian Dennis who snapped the steam train.
:25:06. > :25:11.Tomorrow, a pleasant day to come. It will be warm with spells of
:25:11. > :25:16.sunshine. We have seen 20 Celsius today, the 60s in Fahrenheit. Not
:25:16. > :25:20.far behind across North Yorkshire and the North East. Cooler in the
:25:20. > :25:24.West and that is how it will be tomorrow, as well. The best
:25:24. > :25:27.temperatures will be in the East. Heavy showers in the West overnight
:25:27. > :25:34.tonight, notice the bright colours, there could be some thunder. As
:25:34. > :25:39.those showers die away, most skies will be dry and clear by dawn. It is
:25:39. > :25:43.a mild night, temperatures no lower than 14 Celsius, the high 50s in
:25:43. > :25:47.Fahrenheit and a warm day to come tomorrow. Lots of sunshine, it's
:25:47. > :25:51.really brightens up across North Yorkshire and the east throughout
:25:51. > :25:55.the day. Just one or two showers across Cumbria and it will stay a
:25:55. > :26:00.little bit cloudy here. The temperatures will be pleasantly high
:26:00. > :26:04.for this time in October, 18 Celsius quite possible, the mid—60s, the
:26:04. > :26:08.North Yorkshire, light to moderate breezes and then going northwards,
:26:08. > :26:14.the temperatures well above the average for this time in the autumn.
:26:14. > :26:19.Over in the West, things will be a touch cooler, but here temperatures
:26:19. > :26:24.will be above what we expect at this time a year, 12 or 14 Celsius. Then
:26:24. > :26:28.we notice a difference. A real change after tomorrow. Two things to
:26:29. > :26:36.note, it will get windier and it will get called day by day. A lots
:26:36. > :26:39.of bright and fine weather. Notice what a difference in the
:26:39. > :26:45.temperatures are scraping into double figures, with some places
:26:45. > :26:49.staying in single figures. That is a colder than it will be in the dead
:26:49. > :26:52.of night tonight. That is the best we can do through the day on
:26:52. > :26:58.Thursday despite the sun. More sunshine to come for much of the
:26:58. > :27:03.north—east as well. Things are looking pleasant, but definitely
:27:03. > :27:07.feeling more like autumn. A shock after the high temperatures of
:27:07. > :27:13.today. We could be in for the first frost towards the end of the week.
:27:13. > :27:15.We will update you on that. Enjoy it while it lasts.
:27:15. > :27:25.That is it for now. Don't forget, will have an update at 20 ——
:27:25. > :27:25.10:25pm. Goodbye. By now. —— goodbye
