:00:13. > :00:18.Good evening. A man has been charged with murder after the death of a man
:00:19. > :00:20.in Middlesbrough. Police were called to Carlow Street yesterday. A
:00:21. > :00:24.postmortem examination confirmed the man died as a result of a stab

:00:28. > :00:30.tomorrow. A 23`year`old pedestrian has been
:00:31. > :00:33.critically injured, after being hit by a bus in Newcastle. The accident
:00:34. > :00:40.happened just after eight o'clock last night in the city centre. The
:00:41. > :00:43.woman was taken to the RVI, where she is in a stable condition.
:00:44. > :00:46.Security measures have been improved at an American hospital where a
:00:47. > :00:50.County Durham woman was found dead in a stairwell. 57`year`old Lynne
:00:51. > :00:57.Spalding, from Haswell, went missing at San Francisco General Hospital
:00:58. > :01:00.last October. Despite a search, it was 17 days before her body was

:01:17. > :01:19.benefits stopped because he was not looking for work, because he was in
:01:20. > :01:22.a coma at the time. Alex Cunningham told the BBC's
:01:23. > :01:25.Sunday Politics that it was one of several cases he had dealt with
:01:26. > :01:37.where sanctions against job`seekers had been applied unfairly. We have
:01:38. > :01:44.people coming to us who are unfairly sanctioned. We had one person in a
:01:45. > :01:49.coma in a hospital and another, who was sent the wrong ticket from the
:01:50. > :01:53.wrong bus company was sanctioned for not turning up at an interview.
:01:54. > :01:56.For the government, Berwick MP Sir Alan Beith said such mistakes needed
:01:57. > :02:02.to be resolved fairly, but stressed sanctions were necessary to prevent
:02:03. > :02:07.the welfare system being abused. The government is quite clearly trying
:02:08. > :02:12.to crack down on abuse of the system. They are wanting to reform
:02:13. > :02:16.the welfare system so that the taxpayers, who often do not have
:02:17. > :02:20.much money themselves, so that it goes to those who need it and

:02:44. > :02:46.tomorrow's Inside Out programme hears what the plans are. Her former
:02:47. > :02:54.commander, who later became First Sea Lord, told Inside Out that he is
:02:55. > :03:01.backing Tyneside. I would love that it was retained here. I hope it goes
:03:02. > :03:03.to the North East. My question is, whether that is a practical
:03:04. > :03:07.proposition. A decision should be made later this
:03:08. > :03:10.year and watch Inside Out tomorrow night BBC One at 7.30pm as the

:04:02. > :04:06.the church has to offer. One of the stalls is advertising Acehnese what
:04:07. > :04:10.I was there for. I said, just think about it. I think the church as a
:04:11. > :04:14.key role to play. And for those planning their big day, there is, of
:04:15. > :04:19.course, lots to consider. As well as the vicar, there is the dress, cake,
:04:20. > :04:22.cars and wedding rings. For Chris and Lindsay from
:04:23. > :04:25.Sunderland, the July 12 is their chosen date and, with hundreds of
:04:26. > :04:36.ideas to consider, the perfect day is beginning to take shape. I was
:04:37. > :04:45.not sure what style I wanted. I have found what I want. Expensive? Very!
