Hello. Welcome to Look North. In the programme tonight: Calls for a ban | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
on hands`free phones in cars, after research here suggests they cause | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
drivers to lose concentration. Multitasking at the wheel and doing | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
anything that distracts you from the road is potentially fatal. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
"Thank you for saving my life." The 13`year`old plucked from a West | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Cumbrian harbour is reunited with his rescuer. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
The plot of derelict land that could hold the key to thousands of new | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
jobs. And don't try this at home ` the | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
stunt bike spectacular coming to Tyneside in the new year, hoping to | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
win new fans for the sport of motocross. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
In sport, the Eagles are flying high as they reach basketball's cup | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
semifinal again, and is the honeymoon over for Carlisle's new | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
boss, as the Cumbrians drop yet more points at home? | :00:56. | :01:11. | |
We know it's against the law and dangerous to drive while holding our | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
mobile phone, but isn't it OK to drive hands`free? Well, not | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
according to scientists at Newcastle University. They say their research | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
shows even using hands`free can seriously reduce our ability to | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
drive safely. The findings coincide with National Road Safety Week, and | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
the charity Brake is now calling for a ban on using hands`free phones in | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
cars. Driving while using a hand`held | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
mobile phone has been illegal in the UK for a decade now. But it isn't | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
against the law to drive while talking hands`free. Researchers, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
though, have now discovered that using our phones hands`free can | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
significantly reduce our ability to drive safely. Well, I've come down | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
to Newcastle University to find out exactly what they've discovered in | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
the research. They have given me this strap, which is going to go | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
underneath here and monitor my heart rate and breathing. They have also | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
given me a set of goggles with two small cameras, and that's going to | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
monitor my eye movements and see what I am looking at on the road. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Whilst at the wheel, the researchers called me. I answered hand`held and | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
hands`free. They asked increasingly complex questions, whilst recording | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
my heart rate, breathing, and driving ability. Overall, their | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
tests show drivers taking calls on hands`free phones saw their ability | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
to maintain speed and their steering performance decline 37%. We can see | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
when people start talking on the phone, they didn't even recognise | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
the hazard they've been through, and they didn't even stop for a stop | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
line, and missed a red traffic light. And even on the hands`free, | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
when they're in a conversation that demands a lot of thinking, they can | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
be incredibly distracted. We're looking at the point where you start | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
answering the phone... We're all getting busier and multitasking | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
more, and mobile phones mean we can be contacted anywhere, at any time. | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
But beware, say the scientists, as their evidence shows that talking to | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
someone on the phone hands`free is more dangerous than talking to a | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
passenger. When you're talking to a passenger, they are context aware. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
They know what's happening on the road, and they may be quiet when | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
they see you doing a difficult manoeuvre or they may change if they | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
recognise there is danger on the road. When you're talking to someone | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
remotely at the end of the phone, who doesn't know what the driving | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
conditions are, they will continue the conversation, and you will try | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
and maintain it, even though you're getting more dangerous. The research | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
coincides with the start of National Road Safety Week, and the charity | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Brake has now called for the use of hands`free phones to be banned in | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
cars. Sharon joins me now. Sharon, Brake's | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
stance is certainly uncompromising ` as far as they're concerned phones | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
should be banned completely? But not everyone shares that view? Brake say | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
that the use of mobile phones increases the risk of having | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
accidents, but there are contradictions. Research in | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Australia claims to show that children in cars causing | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
distractions are twelve times more dangerous than mobile phones. That's | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
something we put to Brake's representative Rich Andrew. I think | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
there is an important message, and we do work closely with educators | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
from nursery schools upwards, to try and get that message out to children | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
as well as to parents and to drivers, about the importance of | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
kind of being sensible and knowing your responsibilities of being in a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
car, whether as a driver or as a passenger. Brake is using academic | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
research, as we saw. It wasn't carried out in real driving | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
situations ` so is it valid? That's right, more people than ever now use | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
mobile phones, and more and more cars are using hands`free | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
technology. But there's no evidence of an increase in accidents caused | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
by phones, that's something else we put to Brake. What the research | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
shows today, and I think the really important message that has come out | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
of today is that this simulation and the research that backs it up shows | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
that conversation can be a huge distraction, especially if it is a | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
work`related conversation, where you really have to concentrate. It's | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
certainly a contentious subject, and you can join the debate on the Look | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
North Facebook page. A West Cumbrian man who saved a | :05:41. | :05:56. | |
teenager from drowning has told Look North he was just in the right place | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
at the right time. Ryan Lowery's day out fishing at Maryport harbour | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
almost ended in tragedy when he slipped and fell from a pier. He was | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
in the water for almost 20 minutes, before being hauled to safety by | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Brian Pattinson. Graham Moss reports. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Reliving the events of an afternoon that nearly ended in tragedy. | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
13`year`old Ryan Lowery was fishing on the North Pier when he slipped | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
and lost his footing. I tried to grab something, but I kept sliding. | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
When I got into the water, I had a tiny burst of energy to push myself | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
to the sea wall and cling onto it. I had told onto a tiny ledge for about | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
15 minutes until Brian came. Brian Pattinson always carries overall in | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
his car boot just in case. He was on the opposite side of the harbour | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
when he heard someone in the water. I ran along with the rope and tied a | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
knot in it, threw it out over the side, and luckily, Brian was still | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
conscious and could put it over his head and his arms, and I was able to | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
pull him back towards the steps, which are I knew with the local | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
knowledge I had. The police and the close card have praised Brian's | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
quick thinking. They have said if he had not acted in the way he did, | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
things could have been very different. It is terrifying. It was | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
a near death experience. It is horrible. I couldn't stop him from | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
shaking. That was my worry, that he was shaking badly. But obviously, he | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
is here today, and thankfully is OK. I would be dead, it's as simple as | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
that. There is no good way to put it. I was in the right place at the | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
right time, and I had enough time to get to him. Ryan is recovering well, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
and him and his mother cannot thank Brian enough. | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
A new development in York could create thousands of jobs, according | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
to the city council. ?10 million is to be spent on what is, at the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
moment, derelict land behind York railway station. And even more jobs | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
are in the offing. 200 fresh posts are being advertised at the new John | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Lewis store in the city. Dave Edwards reports. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
At Monk's Cross on the outskirts of York, construction is well underway. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
In the spring, this building will host one of the biggest names in | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
British retail ` John Lewis. 100 posts have already been filled, and | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
200 more were advertised this morning. The interest in the jobs | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
when we advertised the 100 roles has been fantastic. We had 500 people | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
from the local area wanting to come and join John Lewis, and we're | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
really hoping and expecting a similar number of people apply for | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
the 200 selling and catering roles that we've advertised today. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Meanwhile, over in the centre of York, another major announcement. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
This land behind the railway station has been derelict for years. Plans | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
to develop it and build thousands of homes and offices were put on hold | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
in 2009 at the height of the recession. But today, the City | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Council has announced it's spending ?10 million on a new bridge to allow | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
access to the site. It says that will kick`start development and help | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
create thousands of jobs. And those jobs will be much`needed here in | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Yorkshire, where last week's official figures showed unemployment | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
rose by 4000. There are now 248,000 people in the region without a job. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
It is hoped today's two announcements will help that figure | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
start to fall. Police investigating the mysterious | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
death of a solicitor found stabbed on a footpath can't rule out the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
possibility he killed himself. It's more than two months since the body | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
of 56`year`old Peter Maine was discovered in Durham, but still | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
there have been no arrests and no weapon has yet been found. Today, a | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
coroner was told nobody saw the incident take place. Our News | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
Correspondent, Peter Harris, reports. | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
Captured on CCTV on a morning run, yet minutes after these pictures | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
were taken, Peter Maine was dead. Stabbed, we do know, but why and by | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
whom remains a mystery. And now, say the police, they can't rule out the | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
possibility he'd inflicted the wounds himself. On the morning of | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
September the first, the solicitor had been running near Maiden Castle | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
in Durham. At 8am, he was found on a path and later died We know he was | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
being investigated over fraud allegations. Durham Police launched | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
a murder`style inquiry But there the trail appears to run cold. We know | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
Peter Maine died of stab wounds, but a pathologist's report was | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
inconclusive as to how exactly those wounds were inflicted. Durham Police | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
say many witnesses have come forward, though there still may be | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
some who have not been contacted, and a further difficulty for the | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
police is that there is no CCTV or witnesses of the moment the wounds | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
were actually inflicted. And so, since nobody saw it and nobody has | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
been arrested, the police say they can't rule out the option that Mr | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Maine stabbed himself. One further puzzle ` if that theory was true, | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
then what happened to the implement which killed him? It's never been | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
found. Today, the police updated the Durham coroner on the investigation | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
at a pre`inquest review. That was adjourned for further enquiries. All | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
possibilities in this case are open ` but two months on, the death of a | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
runner stabbed at a beauty spot remains a mystery. | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
A man's been given a five`year prison sentence at Newcastle Crown | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
Court today, following a fatal collision in Prudhoe, in | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Northumberland, last July. David Robinson ` who's 26 and lives in | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Woodhead Road in the town ` pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
driving, failing to stop and report an accident and two other driving | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
offences. His victim ` 65`year`old Kathleen Heslop ` was crossing a | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
road and was hit by Robinson's car. She died at the scene. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Refurbishment work on the Tyne pedestrian and cyclist tunnels was | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
halted temporarily today, after a fire broke out at nearby C Marine | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Services in Wallsend. Workers were cleared from the area, after the | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
flames took hold in a small factory unit an acetylene cylinder exploded. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
There were fears other substances on the site could explode. | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
One of Carlisle's main tourist attractions will lose ?250,000 in | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
city council funding from 2015. Despite this, the Tullie House | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Museum and Art Gallery has drawn up a ?16 million redevelopment plan. | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
It's hoped Lottery funding will cover some of the cost. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
A seafaring charity has said the crew of a ship detained on Tyneside | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
for health and safety reasons could still be here over Christmas. The | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Mission to Seafarers in South Shields is visiting the 16`strong | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
crew of the bulk carrier Donald Duckling. They were so poorly fed on | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
the ship's voyage from Las Palmas to Tyneside, they were forced to fish | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
from the vessel, and cook on fires set on deck. Our business | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
correspondent Ian Reeve reports. The ship that could be with us for | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
some time yet. Taiwanese`owned Donald Duckling, detained on the | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
Tyne last week. It'll be here until its owner puts right many safety | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
issues. Its Filipino and Romanian crew are at least getting some | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
comforts. We've given them free phone cards, so that they can make | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
contact at home. And obviously, they've used the internet, so they | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
can get... All of them are wanting to find out what's happening back | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
home, and a lot of them haven't been able to get in touch with their | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
families. This is the gallery itself, the burner. Deep fat | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
fryers... It's thought the ship may even be here until Christmas. We can | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
offer them the use of the galley, because obviously, they want to cook | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
their food their way, and they tend to like spicy food. Not like our | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
traditional Christmas dinners. So, yes, they'll have the use of this, | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
and this place is their home. Well, the ship is currently docked at | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Whitehead Point on the north bank of the River, but it could be moved | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
offshore while its problems are rectified. But there is a risk in | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
that, in that it could merely sail away. But while she's still here, | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Mission to Seafarers, such as Geoff and Richard, are able to visit the | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
crew. As soon as you got up the gangway, you could see the rust and | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
scale all over. It hadn't been maintained at all. Not for years, I | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
don't think. The crew, they looked all right. They looked quite happy. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
The Filipinos are very happy race, anyway. Quite resilient. Quite, | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
erm... Boisterous, in a way. And they may need that resilience. At | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
least one Filipino crew member knows that back home, many miles from | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
North Shields, members of his family are still missing in the aftermath | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
of the typhoon that has so devastated his homeland. | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
Police are becoming increasingly concerned for a man who's been | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
missing from his home in County Durham for a week. Peter Jackson ` | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
who's 38, and from Weybourne Lea in Seaham ` hasn't been seen since | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
leaving for work last Monday morning. Officers say it's out of | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
character. They're urging people to contact them if they see him. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
850 jobs have been safeguarded at the Pirelli tyre plant in Carlisle, | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
after plans to extend it were backed by councillors. The company plans to | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
invest ?2 million in the plant. An extension will house new machinery, | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
giving the firm the capacity to produce more | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
environmentally`sustainable tyres. Lumiere ` the spectacular raft of | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
lighting installations and projections which have been | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
illuminating Durham's buildings and streets ` is over. At least, for | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
another couple of years. Last night saw the end of the four`day | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
festival, which again proved hugely popular and attracted big crowds. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Organisers say around 175,000 people turned up and Durham Police say | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
crowd control was much better than last time. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
Coming up next in tonight's Look North` a sneak preview of a truly | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
spectacular show coming to the region early next year. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
And give yourselves a slap on the back. Our region helps Children In | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
Need to a record`breaking total. And after a mild weekend, things turned | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
colder. Join me later for the details. | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
A venue more used to holding concerts will be turned into an | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
indoor motor racing track next year. Tonnes of earth will be used to | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
create a dirt bike course when the Arenacross tour comes to the | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
MetroRadio Arena in Newcastle in February. It's hoped the excitement | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
of races and daredevil motorbike stunts will encourage families to | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
become fans of the sports, as Alison Freeman reports. | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
Terrifying to watch, but throwing yourself in the air on a few hundred | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
pounds of speeding metal, isn't apparently as mad as it looks. I | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
like to think I'm pretty calculated. I hate roller coasters is, Juno. | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
Everything we do is very well rehearsed. We are able to do things | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
because we repeat. Dan is one of a number of freestyle | :17:33. | :17:45. | |
motocross riders who'll be entertaining crowds at the O2 Arena | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
in Newcastle in February. `` MetroRadio Arena. It's part of the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Arenacross tour, which will also feature indoor dirt bike racing ` | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
some competitors are as young as seven. Among them will be Wallsend | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
brothers 10`year`old Buster and Joel, who's 15. Both have been | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
riding since they were toddlers. When you are on the track, what are | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
you thinking about? It's a frightening? You want to think hard, | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
because I always think I have to think one step ahead. You have to | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
think about the cones and think about the next jumps. That's what I | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
do. It makes me a better writer. `` better rider. And transforming the | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
shiny floors of the arena is surprisingly quick. Over a 24`hour | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
period, 560 trucks will carry in 6000 tonnes of dirt to turn the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
arena into a race track And then there's the 18`ton truck on which | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
they're going to land these heart`stopping jumps. The tour is | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
taking in seven venues, but a win home win for local competitors is a | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
priority. It's really important for my friends and family to come to | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
this one, because I am local. I want them to get the hang me and I will | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
put on a good show and come out with a win. It's hoped the tour will | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
attract new fans to motocross. And if these gravity`defying stunts are | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
anything to go by, it should keep the audience on the edge of their | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
seats. That was amazing! Now, Dawn's here, and she'll have | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
the sports news in a moment. First though, we have to say a big thank | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
you to everybody who took part in this year's BBC Children In Need | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
appeal. Yes, a very big thank you, because yet again, the national | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
appeal has set a new record. And of the ?31 million pledged on the | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
night, almost ?1.4 million came from the North East and Cumbria. The Look | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
North team were out and about in Hexham on Friday night, and more | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
than ?16,000 came from donations at the Outside Broadcast alone. Here's | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
a reminder of the sort of things people got up to. | :19:58. | :19:58. | |
Attention! # I could lift you up. # I could | :19:59. | :20:16. | |
show you what you want to see and take you where you want to | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
# Even if the sky is falling down I know that we'll be safe and sound. | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
# You know my river won't evaporate, this world will still appreciate. | :20:29. | :20:42. | |
# Even in a hurricane I know that we'll be safe and sound. | :20:43. | :20:52. | |
Yes, that was me claiming! I quite enjoyed it when I got to the top. As | :20:53. | :21:15. | |
long as you don't look down! No Premier league or Championship | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
action over the weekend, of course, because of the internationals, but | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
there was plenty of action further down the leagues. Gateshead with | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
probably the result of the weekend, but we start our round`up in League | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
one and a draw for Carlisle United. Young on`loan Man Utd keeper Ben | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
Amos made his debut for the Blues in a much`changed starting line`up at | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
Brunton Park. The game didn't spark into life until the second half ` | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
Prince Buaben forcing a save from Phil Jones before Max Ehmer was | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
brought down by Joe Walsh to force a penalty. Liam Noble, back from | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
suspension, thumped the ball in from the spot to give Carlisle the lead. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
But with just two minutes of normal time left, Billy Clarke broke down | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
the win to fire in the equalizer from 25 yards. Carlisle now six | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
games without a win. We've been a bit of a sticky patch at the moment | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
and the pressure was starting to build. You could sense a little bit | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
of tension around the ground, and when you get one goal up, you think | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
you're going to get the three points. It didn't happen today, and | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
one mistake has cost us. York City will play Crawley in the second | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
round of the FA Cup if they beat Bristol Rovers tomorrow night. On | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
Saturday, though, they had to settle for a draw. Ryan Bowman headed in | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
this cross from Luke O'Neill to put them ahead, the first goal Plymouth | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
have conceded in almost 500 minutes. But substitute Tope Obadeyi levelled | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
the score to make sure the League two strugglers shared the points. It | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
was a disapopinting Friday night for Hartlepool United, who played their | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
third game in six days. A goal in each half secured all three points | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
for Newport County, who move into the League two playoff zone. Former | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Carlisle keeper Lenny Pidgeley had a great game. The only time he was | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
beaten was by Andy Monkhouse, whose shot hit the post. Gateshead | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
stretched their unbeaten run in the Conference to five matches against | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Salisbury on Saturday. Josh Walker put them ahead after less than a | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
minute, with a close`range strike. Then, a minute into the second half, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
James Curtis floated the ball into the path of James Marwood to extend | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
the lead. It looked like it was game over when Walker headed in his | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
second goal and Gateshead's third, and although there was a slightly | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
nervy end to the game when Salisbury came back with two late goals, the | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
result puts Gary Mills side just two points off the playoff places. | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
On to basketball, and a weekend when Glasgow Rocks were reduced to rubble | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
by both our top`flight teams. Durham Wildcats beat them by 85 points to | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
72 in the League on Saturday, before losing to Cheshire Phoenix last | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
night. And after thumping Manchester Giants at Sports Central on Friday, | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Newcastle Eagles knocked the Scots out of the BBL Cup 48 hours later. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
The Eagles won their quarterfinal tie 81 points to 69 ` Malik Cooke | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
top`scoring with 27. And there could be a North East derby in the | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
semifinal, with Newcastle up against the winners of next weekend's | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
showdown between the Wildcats and Sheffield Sharks. | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
And in rugby union, Newcastle Falcons' hopes of making it beyond | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
the group stage of the Anglo`Welsh Cup suffered a setback, with a heavy | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
defeat at Gloucester. They went down by 20`3, with the Falcons' only | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
score coming from a Rory Clegg penalty. It's Northampton who now | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
look to qualify for the semi`finals. Thanks, Dawn, Now, just before the | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
weather, congratulations to Teesside actor Mark Benton, who survived the | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
dreaded dance`off for a second week running, to remain in this year's | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
Strictly Come Dancing competition. He was in the bottom two with former | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
Bond girl Fiona Fullerton, but he and partner Iveta Lukosuite received | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
three votes to one to stay in the competition. Mark told Look North he | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
never dreamed he'd make it this far and said he was absolutely amazed by | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
the support he's received from the public. Well done, Mark! What a | :24:39. | :24:48. | |
fabulous outfit, nothing compared to this man! | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
I had to cover up, because people were having to adjust the contrast, | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
because my legs were having to adjust the contrast, | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
because were quite! The weather has been nice and mild recently, but | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
it's all change, as we head through the coming week. Things will be | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
noticeably colder. Don't believe everything you believe in the | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
papers, I don't think it will be completely snowy, but it will be | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
noticeably colder. This weather front will bring in cold air, and | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
introduce a fresher sense for it this evening. Overnight it will | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
mostly be dry, then maybe the odd shower on the coasts, but most | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
places will be dry with long clear spells and a bit of shelter. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
Temperatures easily sub zero, down to about minus two Celsius. There | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
will be ice patches to watch out for to enter tomorrow morning, so frosty | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
start for most of us, but again, most places will stay dry and fame, | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
with the odd wintry shower. Most places will have blue skies, and it | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
will never feel warm, because the sun is weak, but we will have by the | :26:09. | :26:18. | |
end of the day, some cloud in the north`west, and some rain and sleet | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
and snow in Scotland. That heads are we tomorrow night and into | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
Wednesday. It comes from this weather system from the North, and | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
brings out mixture of snow `` a mixture of snow and sleet. It will | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
quite indent by Friday when the high`pressure tries to build, so if | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
you are writing about the next few days, Cumbria will see the rain | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
clear on Wednesday, and it will stay mostly died on Wednesday and | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Thursday, but temperatures will only recover a little bit. The north`east | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
again will see more showers on Thursday, with the north`easterly | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
wind coming in, cold north`easterly wind making it colder than number | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
suggest. `` than the numbers suggest. | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
