Hello and welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight — A new father dies

:00:00.:00:09.

while out celebrating the birth of his son.

:00:09.:00:13.

Police launch an investigation. The North plays a leading role in a

:00:13.:00:16.

national crackdown on organised crime, but critics claim it's part

:00:16.:00:20.

of a police cost—cutting drive. Fighting flu the painless way.

:00:21.:00:23.

Schoolchildren are vaccinated by nasal spray, instead of needles.

:00:23.:00:30.

And Run Geordie Run — why this man's slogging 2,600 miles across

:00:30.:00:36.

Australia in 40 days. In sport, the best of the weekend

:00:36.:00:40.

action, plus as Sunderland fans await confirmation of a new manager,

:00:40.:00:43.

Newcastle supporters are hailing a new goal hero, even if loan signing

:00:43.:00:46.

Loic Remy isn't ready to talk about his long—term future just yet.

:00:46.:01:01.

He was a young dad, out celebrating the birth of his baby boy. So just

:01:01.:01:07.

how and why did the evening end so tragically for Benji Bolsenbroek?

:01:07.:01:11.

Even though CCTV footage shows Benji being assaulted at a pub in

:01:11.:01:14.

Middlesbrough, police say they're not yet treating it as a murder

:01:14.:01:18.

inquiry. They also say a postmortem examination hasn't shown exactly how

:01:18.:01:24.

23—year—old Benji died. Our Chief Reporter, Chris Stewart, has the

:01:24.:01:28.

story. Benji Bolsenbroeke, 23 and a dad for

:01:28.:01:32.

less than a week. His girlfriend Georgina says her only comfort is

:01:32.:01:36.

that he did at least live to see their son Kianey. He died after

:01:36.:01:41.

ending up here with friends to celebrate the baby's birth. An

:01:41.:01:44.

invitation to friends to join him had been posted on Facebook. In

:01:44.:01:48.

another message, he said he couldn't be happier. This afternoon, the

:01:48.:01:52.

police revealed there'd been a large—scale disturbance at the Park

:01:52.:01:56.

Hotel. Benji had been assaulted, but disappeared before police officers

:01:56.:02:01.

arrived. He turned up here at his mum's house. Today, the police were

:02:01.:02:05.

searching for clues here, too. His mum Rose took him to hospital after

:02:05.:02:09.

he said he was feeling unwell, but he died soon after arriving. His

:02:09.:02:18.

family say they're devastated. They were very close—knit family. It has

:02:18.:02:25.

been a roller—coaster ride, they have had the joyous occasion when

:02:25.:02:29.

their child was born a three days before this incident and then this

:02:29.:02:33.

tragedy. They are finding it very difficult to cope. I am determined

:02:33.:02:43.

that we will investigate this matter thoroughly to try and get them some

:02:43.:02:51.

answers as to how and why he died. My grandson went around with Benji,

:02:52.:03:00.

I knew him. What kind of man was he? He was just a normal life. I know is

:03:00.:03:08.

mum. Devastating, isn't it? These things happen, don't they? The Park

:03:08.:03:11.

Hotel on Linthorpe Road is equipped with a CCTV system and the

:03:11.:03:14.

disturbance and the assault on Benji was recorded. The police say the

:03:14.:03:22.

quality of the CCTV is very good. They want those who are involved to

:03:22.:03:26.

contact them because they say it is only a matter of time before a

:03:26.:03:33.

police officer knocks on their door. A postmortem has failed to identify

:03:33.:03:43.

the exact cause of death. Meanwhile, a 42—year—old man has

:03:43.:03:46.

been charged with the murder of a 28—year—old man in Middlesbrough.

:03:46.:03:49.

Officers were called to Marton Road in the early hours of yesterday

:03:49.:03:52.

where Andrew Hopkins was found with stab wounds, he died later in

:03:52.:03:56.

hospital. It's being dubbed the British FBI

:03:56.:03:59.

and police in our region are claiming the new National Crime

:03:59.:04:02.

Agency will have organised criminals "on the run." Designed to bring

:04:02.:04:05.

closer co—operation between local police and national crime—fighters,

:04:05.:04:07.

senior officers believe it'll help them identify and disrupt big—time

:04:07.:04:11.

crooks. Critics claim it's part of "a cost—cutting drive." Peter Harris

:04:12.:04:14.

is at Durham Police headquarters now. This is about high end

:04:14.:04:25.

criminals of which there are reckoned to be less than 400 here in

:04:25.:04:30.

Durham and those other people this new agency is meant to target.

:04:30.:04:44.

Even Al Capone was caught in the end. Now, Durham Police hopes its

:04:44.:04:49.

work with the new National Crime Agency will disrupt the modern day

:04:49.:05:01.

Mr Bigs. We are starting to join together the national, international

:05:01.:05:05.

and the local. I see this as an opportunity to make life is very

:05:05.:05:11.

difficult for organised criminals. Durham police believe that around

:05:11.:05:16.

370 people are angry —— involved in organised crime. There could be

:05:16.:05:21.

firearms or drugs or child exploitation. The idea is that

:05:21.:05:26.

offices at this level will target them at... Disrupting them. Dubbed

:05:26.:05:30.

the British FBI, the theory is the National Crime Agency will allow

:05:30.:05:33.

more working together so bigger criminals can be hassled for more

:05:33.:05:36.

minor matters like car tax at local level. It has powers to force police

:05:36.:05:48.

forces to actually get involved in their work, so it will be an

:05:48.:05:52.

interesting conflict, I think. It will create tensions in itself. One

:05:52.:05:56.

big problem I think is the reduction in funding. These things need

:05:56.:06:01.

funding properly, they need resources and if they don't have

:06:01.:06:06.

resources, it would do the job. —— won't do the job. This is the third

:06:06.:06:10.

shake—up of how serious crime is policed in 15 years. The test for

:06:10.:06:14.

forces like Durham will be whether, like Al Capone, the county's 370

:06:14.:06:20.

major crooks find their time is up. So, Peter, will all this really make

:06:20.:06:28.

a difference to big—time criminals? If you speak to officers in a force

:06:28.:06:32.

like Durham, they will say that they often felt in the dark about what

:06:32.:06:36.

National crime agencies were up to and who they were after. This is

:06:36.:06:40.

supposed to stop intelligence slipping through the net. The Labour

:06:40.:06:44.

Party said this is a rebranding exercise, this is concealing

:06:44.:06:48.

cost—cutting measures. We have been speaking to the Chief Constable at

:06:48.:06:51.

Durham who feels this is a good thing and they will get on with it.

:06:51.:06:55.

Primary schoolchildren in Gateshead and Cumbria are taking part in a flu

:06:55.:06:58.

vaccination programme that'll eventually be rolled out nationwide.

:06:58.:07:00.

They're among seven local authority areas across the country where a

:07:00.:07:03.

nasal spray, instead of an injection, is given to all children

:07:03.:07:07.

aged 11 or under, whose parents agree to the vaccination. Adrian

:07:07.:07:11.

Pitches reports from Ryton Community Infant School in Gateshead.

:07:11.:07:18.

This young man doesn't flinch as he receives his nasal flu vaccine this

:07:18.:07:32.

morning. How did it feel for you? Just like fizzy lemonade in a water

:07:32.:07:36.

gun. Until now, the flu vaccine was reserved for the elderly and those

:07:36.:07:39.

in poor health but the new strategy aims to prevent flu spreading

:07:39.:07:45.

through the community. It is important that children at this age

:07:45.:07:53.

—— they are very good at spreading through virus. If they haven't been

:07:53.:07:56.

immunised, not only did they spread it to their friends, they can spread

:07:56.:08:00.

it to people like grandparents who may be at risk of more severe

:08:00.:08:03.

illness. Children have to be accompanied by a parent or

:08:03.:08:06.

grandparent which can mean taking time off work but parents seem to

:08:06.:08:13.

think it worthwhile. They're well for and health —— their welfare and

:08:13.:08:19.

health... We thought it is a great thing to have. It is a better thing

:08:19.:08:24.

to have it done than not. It is better than an injection. To be

:08:24.:08:29.

honest, it is a real drag when the kids get poorly, so if we can keep

:08:29.:08:35.

ourselves healthy and at school, it affects the whole family, we had to

:08:35.:08:42.

take time off school and work, so it is about keeping us going. Schools

:08:42.:08:47.

around the region have been two of the pilot areas for this vaccine

:08:47.:08:51.

programme. It is intended to roll it out nationally to all children

:08:52.:08:56.

within a couple of years, using the lessons learned from these pilots.

:08:56.:09:03.

The Tory peer who caused a storm with his comments about the

:09:03.:09:05.

"uninhabited" and "desolate" parts of the North East being more

:09:05.:09:09.

suitable for fracking is taking part in a debate in Durham tonight. Lord

:09:09.:09:12.

Howell of Guildford, father—in—law to the Chancellor, George Osborne,

:09:12.:09:14.

said his remarks suggesting the north was better suited than the

:09:14.:09:17.

south to the controversial drilling process known as fracking had been

:09:17.:09:21.

taken out of context. He added that although there were many beautiful

:09:21.:09:24.

areas in the North East, that did not mean that fracking should not

:09:24.:09:31.

take place. I don't want it to see it anywhere where people don't want

:09:31.:09:39.

it. But as it produces jobs and as the skills are particular here and

:09:39.:09:44.

people want it and it can restore areas that have been scarred, indeed

:09:44.:09:52.

the Government... It makes sense to bring the prosperity and the jobs to

:09:52.:09:56.

people. I'm sure people want jobs and prosperity. More of the

:09:56.:09:59.

interview with Lord Howell on BBC Newcastle tomorrow morning from

:09:59.:10:02.

6:30am. The media were the biggest obstacle

:10:02.:10:05.

in the police search for the fugitive gunman, Raoul Moat. That's

:10:05.:10:07.

according to the television presenter and survival expert Ray

:10:07.:10:10.

Mears, who helped the manhunt in Northumberland's remote countryside.

:10:10.:10:12.

For tonight's Inside Out programme, in his first in—depth television

:10:12.:10:15.

interview about his role, Mr Mears says press interference caused

:10:15.:10:18.

serious problems for the police as they attempted to track down the

:10:18.:10:29.

wanted man. Chris Jackson reports. More than three years have passed

:10:29.:10:34.

since one of Britain's biggest manhunts. Members of the public

:10:34.:10:39.

within the area are advised to remain indoors. Armed with a

:10:39.:10:44.

shotgun, Raoul Moat had already murdered, blinded and maimed and was

:10:44.:10:47.

hiding in the woods, threatening to kill again. Armed officers from many

:10:47.:10:58.

forces came to the area. Hidden from public view came television

:10:58.:11:02.

presenter Ray Mears. The police had accepted his offer to lend his

:11:02.:11:06.

skills to track him down. In an interview, he tells me it was not

:11:06.:11:12.

against Forest or about the location but the media that caused his

:11:12.:11:15.

biggest problem. The iMac they were getting in the way. They were trying

:11:15.:11:21.

to come into the woodland. They were trying to see what we were up to.

:11:21.:11:26.

Resources have to be diverted. It could have been... I don't think I

:11:26.:11:37.

will ever trust 24—hour news coverage again. I would like to see

:11:37.:11:44.

journalists say, we have nothing to tell you at the moment. The viewers

:11:44.:11:47.

aren't stupid, they know the difference. I track despite his

:11:47.:11:53.

concerns, he says he and his team of officers came very close to finding

:11:53.:12:00.

their man. We got to within 20 minutes —— meters. I'm convinced he

:12:00.:12:05.

saw us at one point. He has chosen to write about his experiences in a

:12:05.:12:11.

new autobiography, but he denies allegations of profiteering. That is

:12:11.:12:14.

not my interest. I didn't say anything at all at the time about

:12:14.:12:20.

it. The press got a closed door. I'm not trying to sell the book, I just

:12:20.:12:25.

want to tell the story so it is accurately and honestly reported.

:12:25.:12:29.

The manhunt came to a tragic end with a stand—off when he turned his

:12:29.:12:34.

gun on himself. Ray Mears begins his search helped flushing out, but

:12:34.:12:39.

accepts we will never know for sure. And on Inside Out tonight, you can

:12:39.:12:42.

hear how Ray Mears believes there was a real risk of Moat going in

:12:42.:12:46.

search of hostages, if he hadn't been captured. That's on BBC One at

:12:46.:12:50.

7:30pm. For most of us, a trip to the local

:12:50.:12:55.

is a short walk away, but for some it's more of an expedition.

:12:55.:12:58.

Especially if it happens to be the highest pub in the country, the

:12:58.:13:01.

legendary Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire. Well, now one of the

:13:01.:13:04.

pub's former landlords has put pen to paper and written a book about

:13:04.:13:09.

his time there. The Inn at the Top by Neil Hanson has just been

:13:09.:13:12.

published. Phil Chapman went to see him, at Neil's old watering hole.

:13:12.:13:20.

It does tend to get a bit wet —— wet and windy. It is the characters who

:13:20.:13:25.

have passed through over the years which have made for a good book,

:13:25.:13:30.

including some with real barefaced cheek. Some motorists came, they

:13:30.:13:35.

phoned ahead to make sure that... They pitched their tents, but the

:13:35.:13:39.

weather was entirely typical of our peer and they were frozen. The

:13:39.:13:44.

successor says the book is going down a storm with regulars, but

:13:44.:13:50.

things have changed. We have soft on. We have double glazing, we have

:13:50.:13:55.

open fires and raisins —— radiators. We have softened. We have

:13:55.:14:01.

24—hour license now, so in those days, we used to close the windows,

:14:01.:14:05.

that was the real character of pubs in those days. There is still

:14:05.:14:11.

character and attracts many international regulars, including

:14:11.:14:14.

Canadian visitors. Every time we come, we make a trip here. It is one

:14:14.:14:20.

of our favourite places. And Transylvania and visitors. More or

:14:20.:14:32.

less 2000 metres, so maybe higher. Back down here at a mere 1732 feet,

:14:32.:14:39.

Neil had the bright idea of getting a certain double glazing company in.

:14:39.:14:46.

Then he is in 1984. This is the only draft you'll find here. They just

:14:46.:14:54.

happened that they had had the idea themselves and were looking for a

:14:54.:14:58.

location, so we had a new set of windows and Everest had a

:14:58.:15:05.

commercial. Being a Yorkshireman, I would have to say that my favourites

:15:05.:15:09.

chapter is the first, even Heathcliff would not be happier. If

:15:09.:15:15.

you have never been to hear, you can read all about it, maybe from the

:15:15.:15:22.

comfort of your own fireside. After losing both of his parents to

:15:22.:15:26.

cancer, Mark Allison has raised more than £170,000 for charity. His

:15:26.:15:30.

efforts include a run of 3,100 miles across America. And tomorrow he's

:15:30.:15:33.

catching a flight to Australia for his latest challenge. It'll take him

:15:33.:15:38.

from Perth to Sydney, and the route involves running 41 miles a day for

:15:38.:15:45.

70 days on the trot. And this time it's for two North East charities —

:15:45.:15:48.

the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, and the Children's Foundation. Julie

:15:48.:15:53.

Smith reports. For distance runner Mark Allison, an

:15:53.:15:57.

incredible journey awaits. He's running 2,600 miles across

:15:57.:16:02.

Australia. He hopes to raise £50,000 for charity and inspire others to

:16:02.:16:11.

join him. It's no good just running across Australia, you have to take

:16:11.:16:15.

people on the journey with you and that is done via social media and my

:16:15.:16:20.

website. I will be in some quite remote areas with poor signal, so

:16:20.:16:23.

not being able to get the information to people to show my

:16:23.:16:28.

progress is a worry. Mark ran a 3,100 mile run across the USA in

:16:28.:16:37.

2011. Is raised over £105,000. It is by no means a done deal, but I can

:16:37.:16:41.

see the Manhattan skyline in the distance which gives me great heart.

:16:41.:16:47.

It is the monotony of running day in day out. I suppose I will be on the

:16:47.:16:54.

highway from a place called Norse man to Port Augusta, that is 1000

:16:54.:16:59.

miles on the same road. The mental battle there will be considerable.

:16:59.:17:05.

There are two aspects to overcome, that and the physical battle. Mark's

:17:05.:17:09.

main support on the route is Carlton Fletcher. I don't think people can

:17:09.:17:14.

appreciate how difficult this will be. If you think about doing the

:17:14.:17:18.

Great North Run and then when you finish it, doing it twice more and

:17:18.:17:23.

then doing it for many many days more, it is quite phenomenal what he

:17:23.:17:30.

will put himself through. Fantastic! And from one Mark to

:17:30.:17:34.

another, because Mr Tulip has come off the subs' bench to join me for

:17:34.:17:39.

tonight's Team Talk. Well, let's start with a club whose

:17:39.:17:42.

manager went into Saturday's trip to the Dragon's Den under a fair amount

:17:42.:17:45.

of pressure following an inconsistent start to the season.

:17:45.:17:48.

Yes, Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew badly needed a win at Cardiff

:17:48.:17:51.

City after that miserable first half against Everton and he got it. We'll

:17:51.:17:55.

come to the Magpies' only significant summer recruit in a

:17:55.:17:58.

moment, but on a warm afternoon in South Wales, Cardiff boss Malky

:17:59.:18:01.

Mackay will have been confident of getting one over his good friend,

:18:02.:18:06.

Pardew. The game's all about fine margins. A Cardiff goal here after

:18:06.:18:11.

this early mix—up might have made it a pretty sticky afternoon for the

:18:11.:18:13.

visitors. Yes, but even though Papiss Cisse's

:18:13.:18:16.

league goals have dried up, Loic Remy, who eventually signed on loan

:18:16.:18:19.

in the summer, is showing he was well worth the wait and his goals

:18:19.:18:23.

might well determine whether or not owner Mike Ashley hangs on to

:18:23.:18:26.

Pardew's services a season or two longer.

:18:26.:18:28.

And what about Yohan Cabaye? He's going to be a crucial player

:18:28.:18:35.

again this season, his head seems to be in a better place now.

:18:35.:18:40.

That's true. Cardiff did make a fist of it in the second half, a nice

:18:40.:18:44.

finish from Peter Odemwingiwe. But the Magpies held on to an important

:18:44.:18:47.

victory and one achieved for the most part without star man Hatem Ben

:18:47.:18:51.

Arfa, only a late substitute. A brave decision from a manager who's

:18:51.:18:54.

been under close scrutiny all season. It was much more solid at

:18:54.:19:00.

the back. We should have had a penalty for sure that would have

:19:00.:19:04.

killed her game. They were a couple of chances on the break which we may

:19:04.:19:08.

have done better on, but overall for our fans, it is a bit of payback for

:19:08.:19:13.

Monday night. I think they will enjoy that result. We can all go

:19:13.:19:17.

into the bar and scratch our heads a bit about the team, are we really

:19:17.:19:21.

good or are we not sure? It's been reported today that

:19:21.:19:24.

Sunderland are about to announce the 45—year—old Uruguyan, Gus Poyet, as

:19:24.:19:27.

their new manager. Previously in charge at Brighton and a player with

:19:27.:19:30.

Chelsea and Tottenham, Poyet has been among the frontrunners for the

:19:30.:19:34.

job ever since Paolo Di Canio was sacked, just over two weeks ago. The

:19:34.:19:38.

club has yet to make an official comment.

:19:38.:19:43.

Whoever comes in, it'll be a whole new ball game if the current interim

:19:43.:19:46.

head coach isn't kept on and that would be a shame, because Kevin Ball

:19:47.:19:50.

has at least got the team playing decent football. A great start

:19:50.:19:58.

against the champions. But Kevin has been around long enough that you

:19:58.:20:02.

have to take your chances. And can any new manager replicates that

:20:02.:20:05.

first—half display for a full 90 minutes? He ran out of ideas here.

:20:05.:20:16.

The season. Another chance before half—time. After a second—half,

:20:16.:20:20.

Manchester United he qualifies the several countries.

:20:20.:20:27.

Roy Hodgson would like him in an good set up one day, perhaps. David

:20:27.:20:33.

Moyes is the last visiting... That was way back in April, so

:20:33.:20:37.

Sunderland are still stuck at the bottom, but at least they are

:20:37.:20:43.

showing some spirits. It has been fantastic. But I think this is the

:20:43.:20:45.

were disappointed man at this moment in time, we will wait and see. There

:21:00.:21:05.

have been rumours that Sunderland could announce an appointment within

:21:05.:21:08.

24 hours. Sunderland aside, it was a pretty

:21:08.:21:11.

good weekend for our football teams and a huge relief for Tony Mowbray's

:21:11.:21:15.

Middlesbrough, who won for only the second time this season. Yes, and he

:21:15.:21:18.

must be hoping Boro have finally turned the corner.

:21:18.:21:21.

They were 19th in the Championship, going into the game against

:21:21.:21:24.

third—bottom Yeovil and really couldn't afford to lose this one,

:21:24.:21:27.

but it didn't start off too well. Liam Davis giving the visitors the

:21:27.:21:30.

lead inside five minutes. Fortunately Boro's response was

:21:30.:21:32.

almost immediate, Grant Leadbitter settling the nerves with a

:21:32.:21:35.

half—volley which bounced through a crowd of players into the net. When

:21:35.:21:38.

George Friend was brought down in the box, Leadbitter had the chance

:21:38.:21:42.

to make it two from the penalty spot. His shot was saved, but Albert

:21:42.:21:48.

Adomah was first to react and knocked it in for his second goal of

:21:48.:21:52.

the season. Boro hadn't actually picked up three League points at the

:21:52.:21:55.

Riverside since they beat Nottingham Forest there last April, but Jacob

:21:56.:21:59.

Butterfield made it 3—1 just after the break, before the game was

:21:59.:22:02.

wrapped up by another deadline—day signing, Kai Kamara.

:22:02.:22:04.

A welcome home win and not before time.

:22:05.:22:09.

Indeed. Elsewhere, there was late drama at

:22:09.:22:12.

Shrewsbury as Carlisle went looking for their fourth win in a row under

:22:12.:22:15.

Graham Kavanagh. The Shrews were ahead with just three minutes of

:22:15.:22:19.

normal time left, when David Amoo equalised from close range. Sean

:22:19.:22:22.

O'Hanlon then looked to have grabbed the winner in the 90th minute, but

:22:22.:22:25.

deep into injury time Paul Parry rescued a point for the home side.

:22:25.:22:28.

Superb result for Colin Cooper's Hartlepool who brought Mansfield's

:22:28.:22:31.

eight—game unbeaten run to a crushing end. Andy Monkhouse's

:22:31.:22:34.

unstoppable 25—yard strike put the visitors in front and Jack Compton

:22:34.:22:38.

doubled the lead just before half time. He got his second just after

:22:38.:22:46.

the break with a curling free kick and although the home side pulled

:22:46.:22:49.

one back, James Poole's 20—yard finish sealed a convincing win. A

:22:49.:22:53.

sign of more to come perhaps? Lets hope so!

:22:53.:22:59.

And a convincing win for York as well who recorded back to back

:22:59.:23:02.

victories for the first time this season.

:23:02.:23:04.

Wes Fletcher put them ahead at Torquay. Josh Carson doubled the

:23:04.:23:07.

lead with superb 25—yard free—kick, before Ryan Jarvis stabbed in their

:23:07.:23:09.

third against his former club. Now, some sad news to report.

:23:09.:23:18.

One of the best—loved figures in the region's non—league football scene,

:23:19.:23:21.

the former Blyth Spartans striker Scott Bell has lost his battle

:23:21.:23:23.

against the progressive muscle—wasting condition, motor

:23:23.:23:27.

neurone disease. Scott, who was 35, and from Cramlington, leaves a widow

:23:27.:23:31.

and young son. A minute's applause will be held at Blyth's home game

:23:31.:23:36.

next Tuesday night. In rugby union, Newcastle Falcons

:23:36.:23:39.

battled to their second win of the season on Saturday and what an

:23:39.:23:43.

important one it was. A defeat to Worcester could have seen Newcastle

:23:43.:23:46.

swap places with them at the bottom of the table, but the Falcons were

:23:46.:23:50.

ten points up inside the first ten minutes, Mike Blair darting over to

:23:50.:23:53.

for his first Falcons try, which Rory Clegg converted. Another

:23:53.:23:57.

penalty meant Newcastle were 13—3 up at the break. Worcester fought their

:23:57.:24:01.

way back into the game and trailed by just two points with ten minutes

:24:01.:24:05.

left on the clock. But Phil Godman nailed a penalty and the defence

:24:05.:24:08.

held firm, to produce a victory which takes the Falcons up to ninth

:24:09.:24:10.

in the Premiership. And we couldn't go without paying

:24:10.:24:18.

tribute to one of the greatest cricketers to come out of the North

:24:18.:24:22.

East — that's Steve Harmison, who's announced his retirement from the

:24:22.:24:25.

game. With more than 220 Test wickets for England to his name, not

:24:25.:24:28.

to mention another 458 for Durham, in his prime, the Ashington Express,

:24:28.:24:32.

as he became known, was one of the most lethal fast bowlers in the

:24:32.:24:34.

world. He certainly was a terrific... Time

for the weather. It is starting to turn a bit chilly, I understand.

We have one more day of warm sunshine. Here is a lovely picture

Yorkshire. Thank you, Adrian Dennis who snapped the steam train.

:25:01.:25:06.

Tomorrow, a pleasant day to come. It will be warm with spells of

:25:06.:25:11.

sunshine. We have seen 20 Celsius today, the 60s in Fahrenheit. Not

:25:11.:25:16.

far behind across North Yorkshire and the North East. Cooler in the

:25:16.:25:20.

West and that is how it will be tomorrow, as well. The best

:25:20.:25:24.

temperatures will be in the East. Heavy showers in the West overnight

:25:24.:25:27.

tonight, notice the bright colours, there could be some thunder. As

:25:27.:25:34.

those showers die away, most skies will be dry and clear by dawn. It is

:25:34.:25:39.

a mild night, temperatures no lower than 14 Celsius, the high 50s in

the day. Just one or two showers across Cumbria and it will stay a

:25:55.:26:00.

for this time in October, 18 Celsius quite possible, the mid—60s, the

North Yorkshire, light to moderate breezes and then going northwards,

the temperatures well above the average for this time in the autumn.

:26:08.:26:14.

Over in the West, things will be a touch cooler, but here temperatures

:26:14.:26:19.

will be above what we expect at this time a year, 12 or 14 Celsius. Then

:26:19.:26:24.

we notice a difference. A real change after tomorrow. Two things to

note, it will get windier and it will get called day by day. A lots

:26:29.:26:36.

of bright and fine weather. Notice what a difference in the

:26:36.:26:39.

temperatures are scraping into double figures, with some places

:26:39.:26:45.

staying in single figures. That is a colder than it will be in the dead

Thursday despite the sun. More sunshine to come for much of the

north—east as well. Things are looking pleasant, but definitely

feeling more like autumn. A shock after the high temperatures of

today. We could be in for the first frost towards the end of the week.

:27:07.:27:13.

We will update you on that. Enjoy it while it lasts.

That is it for now. Don't forget, will have an update at 20 ——
