struggled with an Australian barrage all tour. Let's hope this guy has a

:00:00.3:59:59

lot Good evening. We start with a very

:00:00.:00:20.

happy Christmas at the double. We told you in October about twins Luke

:00:21.:00:23.

and Ryan who survived against all the odds. Mum Adele had all kinds of

:00:24.:00:27.

serious complications when she was pregnant. The boys were then born

:00:28.:00:31.

incredibly early. And a bed shortage meant Luke was in hospital in

:00:32.:00:35.

Gateshead while his twin was in hospital in Middlesbrough. Now

:00:36.:00:37.

though, they're finally at home together to enjoy a Christmas they

:00:38.:00:40.

don't think will ever be bettered. Our Chief Reporter Chris Stewart

:00:41.:00:44.

went to their home at Newcastle to meet them and witnessed something

:00:45.:00:47.

very special indeed. If there is a better Christmas

:00:48.:00:50.

present, we would love to hear about it. Because it is remarkable these

:00:51.:00:57.

two are here at all. All kinds of problems meant they were operated on

:00:58.:01:01.

to save their lives whilst still in the womb. Then they were born ten

:01:02.:01:06.

weeks early. So did mum and dad think Christmas would ever be so

:01:07.:01:12.

happy? I didn't. Once I knew they were born, then I thought, yeah, we

:01:13.:01:16.

will get them home. But up until that point, you just didn't know.

:01:17.:01:23.

My pregnancy, I just zoned it out. I never thought this day would come.

:01:24.:01:29.

I would not buy anything for them. I just never believed I would have

:01:30.:01:34.

them both. At 17 weeks old, Luke still has to be fed oxygen 23 hours

:01:35.:01:39.

a day. But he is up to eight pounds. Ryan is a couple of pounds heavier.

:01:40.:01:42.

That might have accounted for this. Yeah, he... Did you see that? That's

:01:43.:01:50.

a smile! Ryan's very first smile. Hiya! And two minutes later,

:01:51.:01:54.

unbelievably, Luke decided it was time for his first smile too. Look.

:01:55.:02:03.

Oh! SHE LAUGHS. Hey! Well, they like being on camera, don't they?

:02:04.:02:10.

And to be honest, we haven't stopped smiling either. I can't believe

:02:11.:02:19.

that's happened! LAUGHTER. Fantastic.

:02:20.:02:22.

The police are continuing their search for a 65`year`old woman who's

:02:23.:02:26.

now been missing from her Northumberland home for five days.

:02:27.:02:29.

Janis Hall, who's 65, was reported missing from her home at Catton near

:02:30.:02:32.

Hexham last Thursday. Extensive searches have been carried out

:02:33.:02:35.

around the village and surrounding areas of Tynedale.

:02:36.:02:37.

The bad weather's continuing to cause disruption in parts of the

:02:38.:02:40.

region. Homes and businesses in West Cumbria have been clearing`up after

:02:41.:02:43.

overnight flooding. Today, high winds have been causing problems for

:02:44.:02:47.

travellers as Graham Moss reports. Sandbags, the tell tale sign. The

:02:48.:02:50.

flood water came quickly and almost as swiftly subsided. Here in

:02:51.:02:54.

Whitehaven, as well as Distington and Egremont. Torrential. Water

:02:55.:02:58.

everywhere you look, from every direction. Just coming out of walls.

:02:59.:03:06.

It was coming down Wellington Road at about a rate of 30`40 mph. You

:03:07.:03:12.

could not even stand up on it. It was awful. Repeated downpours have

:03:13.:03:16.

left the ground waterlogged and rivers swollen. While the worst of

:03:17.:03:22.

the heavy rain may have gone, for the time being, the problem now

:03:23.:03:25.

strong winds. The weather continues to cause problems over the Christmas

:03:26.:03:27.

holiday period. Comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers

:03:28.:03:36.

guest edited today's edition of The Northern Echo. The pair are starring

:03:37.:03:41.

in panto in Darlington and made the short trip across town to the

:03:42.:03:47.

paper's offices yesterday. They picked their favourite jokes and

:03:48.:03:49.

selected the front page story. Some parts had a bit of snow

:03:50.:03:56.

earlier, but I think that's all the white stuff we're getting for now.

:03:57.:03:59.

Good evening. Very windy conditions with the risk of gales into this

:04:00.:04:03.

evening, so we still have a weather warning for wind in force. Also a

:04:04.:04:06.

fair few showers continuing to push southwards, bringing wintry

:04:07.:04:09.

conditions in places, but clearing away southwards. An improvement

:04:10.:04:12.

towards the end of the night, most places seeing drier conditions

:04:13.:04:14.

developing. And the frost with temperatures falling back to around

:04:15.:04:17.

two or three degrees. There could be the odd icy stretch into tomorrow.

:04:18.:04:20.

Christmas Day itself looks largely dry and fine. A lighter breeze,

:04:21.:04:25.

feeling chilly if you're out and about. Around six or seven degrees.

:04:26.:04:28.

And finally, a church in York's been told it can keep ?100,000 left on a

:04:29.:04:35.

doorstep in a bin bag. The bag was found in August, prompting a police

:04:36.:04:43.

investigation. A court's now awarded the money to St Thomas and St

:04:44.:04:47.

Maurice. And that's all from us. We get the day off tomorrow. But I'll

:04:48.:04:51.

be back with our next update at one o'clock on Boxing Day lunchtime. It

:04:52.:04:55.

just remains for me to wish you a very happy and peaceful Christmas

:04:56.:04:56.

and have a good evening. Goodbye. it from us - we are back on Boxing

:04:57.:05:02.

Day at One o'clock. Merry Christmas. Hello. The weather has been a little

:05:03.:05:15.

kinder today to travellers and last-minute Christmas shoppers

:05:16.:05:20.

across England and Wales. Not as bad as we feared across Northern

:05:21.:05:25.

Ireland. We have a warning out across parts of Scott and for that

:05:26.:05:30.

strong wind through this evening. Up to 80 miles an hour across the far

:05:31.:05:34.

north of Scotland for a
