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. | |
minimum they should give to themselves. That is how I will move | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
it forward. Do you think you have a chance or should have the chance? I | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
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 | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
for the weather. It is starting to turn a bit chilly, I understand. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
We have one more day of warm sunshine. Here is a lovely picture | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
to start us off. The flying Scotsman winging its way through North | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
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 | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Fahrenheit and a warm day to come tomorrow. Lots of sunshine, it's | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
really brightens up across North Yorkshire and the east throughout | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
the day. Just one or two showers across Cumbria and it will stay a | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
little bit cloudy here. The temperatures will be pleasantly high | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
for this time in October, 18 Celsius quite possible, the mid—60s, the | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
North Yorkshire, light to moderate breezes and then going northwards, | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
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 | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
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 | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
of night tonight. That is the best we can do through the day on | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
Thursday despite the sun. More sunshine to come for much of the | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
north—east as well. Things are looking pleasant, but definitely | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
feeling more like autumn. A shock after the high temperatures of | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
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. | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
That is it for now. Don't forget, will have an update at 20 —— | :27:15. | :27:25. | |
10:25pm. Goodbye. By now. —— goodbye | :27:25. | :27:25. |
