:00:51. > :00:52.It will bring an eight lane International track enabling us to

:01:10. > :01:14.This is what it will look like. Built of Marton Road it will have

:01:25. > :01:30.People drink too much, smoke too much, not enough exercise. This is a
:01:31. > :01:34.big statement saying we want to make Middlesbrough more healthy. I would

:01:37. > :01:41.Middlesbrough but will attract people from far away, it will be
:01:42. > :01:44.good. The athletes will move from here to the new track which is
:01:45. > :01:50.expected to be completed in October. Then, after 51 years, this stadium
:01:51. > :01:56.will be demolished to make way for a housing estate.

:02:16. > :02:18.standards. That's according to Carlisle's Conservative MP John

:02:54. > :03:00.One of the few things we do not disagree on is the need to drive up
:03:01. > :03:03.standards. The debate is about how best to do it. There are some very
:03:04. > :03:10.well performing schools I can think of, those in my own constituency,
:03:11. > :03:13.that are still in the public sector but standards are being driven up.

:03:25. > :03:27.the end of the 19th Century and used to shift coal from trains onto
:03:28. > :03:32.boats. When the mines closed the Staithes were abandoned ` and fell
:03:33. > :03:35.into disrepair. Work's due to start later this month, and the man behind

:03:41. > :03:44.It is going to be a promenade. People will be able to walk along
:03:45. > :03:48.the top, cycle long it come enjoy it, but we have to be more
:03:49. > :03:52.innovative than that. We have to bring purpose and use back to the
:03:53. > :03:55.structure. So you are open to ideas? Certainly, I have crazy
:03:56. > :03:59.ideas. You could hold markets, install
:04:00. > :04:03.solar panels on the top to make power and money...
:04:04. > :04:07.Watch Inside Out tomorrow night on BBC One at 7.30pm to find out how

:04:14. > :04:16.Newcastle this lunchtime. The Chinese Community of Stowell Street
:04:17. > :04:23.hosted the annual event, marking the year of the Horse. Crowds gathered
:04:24. > :04:26.around the ceremonial Chinese arch to watch the popular dragon, lion
:04:27. > :04:29.and unicorn dances. The Chinese New Year officially began on January

:04:55. > :04:59.start at least, with Kay Crewdson. Good evening. As we head through
:05:00. > :05:03.this evening and overnight, there will be plenty of clear skies and
:05:04. > :05:08.with a light breeze we are looking at a touch of frost. This evening
:05:09. > :05:12.any showers will fizzle out and overnight we will be largely dry.
:05:13. > :05:20.Further showers just creeping to western areas, and over the tops
:05:21. > :05:23.they could be a bit wintry. Temperatures dropping to just above
:05:24. > :05:26.freezing, so we are looking at a touch of frost. There remained the
:05:27. > :05:31.risk of icy stretches tomorrow morning where we have had showers.
:05:32. > :05:35.In the morning there will be some showers around, fizzling out,
:05:36. > :05:39.north`eastern parts being dry and bright with good spells of sunshine.
:05:40. > :05:42.Showers will creep into western parts in the afternoon. Windows
:05:43. > :05:47.remain fairly light from the south`west, temperatures rising to
:05:48. > :05:51.seven Celsius, but not lasting long with a cold and frosty start on
:05:52. > :05:53.Tuesday. It soon turns wet and windy.
:05:54. > :05:56.And that's it so far. Always more on our websites, and I'll have the
:05:57. > :06:13.latest here at 10:15pm. For now, have a good evening.
:06:14. > :06:18.Good evening. We have a significant number of severe warnings out. Most
:06:19. > :06:23.of them have been issued on the River Thames today. Now, of course,
:06:24. > :06:28.with more rain due this week, that is not good news, and as well as
:06:29. > :06:31.that, we are expecting some gales as well on the coast. But this week,
:06:32. > :06:36.perhaps an increased risk of some snow as well. At the moment we are
:06:37. > :06:42.in a quiet spell of weather, with fewer showers around, this evening
:06:43. > :06:44.and overnight. There is a risk as temperatures get close to freezing
:06:45. > :06:49.that there could be some ice first thing in the morning. Temperatures
:06:50. > :06:52.will be lower out in the countryside. We could even have a
:06:53. > :06:57.smattering of snow tonight and first thing in the morning over the hills
:06:58. > :06:59.of Wales, the Midlands, up into northern England and Scotland. But
:07:00. > :07:07.tomorrow will be quieter, once again. Still scattered showers
:07:08. > :07:12.around. For the east of England perhaps chilly and grey for Match of
