:00:00. > :00:29.Jeremy Hello, good evening. The school
:00:30. > :00:31.standards watchdog, Ofsted, has strongly criticised the quality of
:00:32. > :00:34.Cumbria's secondary schools ` and the leadership provided by the
:00:35. > :00:38.County Council. It follows an inspection of 17 schools at the end
:00:39. > :00:41.of last year. Of these, none had improved since their previous Ofsted
:00:42. > :00:44.inspections ` and eight had declined, including five that were
:00:45. > :00:46.placed in special measures. From our Carlisle newsroom, Alison Freeman
:00:47. > :00:53.sent this report. The Ofsted verdict of Cumbria's high schools was
:00:54. > :01:01.critical. The support provided by Cumbria County Council had not
:01:02. > :01:06.prevented decline, said the report. It is an obvious thing that it needs
:01:07. > :01:13.to improve and the leadership of skills to ensure the quality of
:01:14. > :01:18.teaching improves. Teaching English, teaching maths, targeting teaching
:01:19. > :01:25.at different groups of pupils. We must ensure those from deprived
:01:26. > :01:32.backgrounds get a fair education and are lifted out of that deprivation.
:01:33. > :01:35.The County Council said it could not take responsibility for the
:01:36. > :01:41.academies that were failing. Jill Marko every time an academy is
:01:42. > :01:48.created we get funding taken from us in order to pay for academies. We
:01:49. > :01:53.have currently got 38 secondary schools, 18 of them are academies.
:01:54. > :01:57.We get resources removed from us but there seems to be a feeling that
:01:58. > :02:01.somehow we should still be responsible for the performance of
:02:02. > :02:11.schools over which we have no control. It is not clear whether
:02:12. > :02:15.academies will be treated differently. There are concerns that
:02:16. > :02:23.children in schools here are receiving substandard education. A
:02:24. > :02:26.man who helped his friend attempt to kill himself has had his sentence
:02:27. > :02:30.cut on appeal. Kevin Howe, supplied Stephen Walker with a can of petrol
:02:31. > :02:33.and a lighter shortly before he set himself on fire. The court heard
:02:34. > :02:37.that Mr Walker felt suicidal and begged his friend to do it. Mr
:02:38. > :02:40.Walker suffered 95% burns, but survived the incident at his home in
:02:41. > :02:43.Bishop Auckland last May, which followed a heavy drinking session.
:02:44. > :02:46.Kevin Howe got 12 years for assisting attempted suicide ` but
:02:47. > :02:50.today the Court of Appeal cut that to ten years. A North East surgeon
:02:51. > :02:54.has used a 3D printer to rebuild a patient's pelvis. It's believed to
:02:55. > :03:06.be the first time in the UK the technology has been used this way.
:03:07. > :03:09.But as our health reporter Sharon Barbour explains, the patient had
:03:10. > :03:14.such a complicated bone cancer there was no other option. Surgeon, Graig
:03:15. > :03:17.Gerrand, was faced with an difficult problem, when a patient presented
:03:18. > :03:21.here at the Freeman Hospital with a rare bone cancer in his pelvis. The
:03:22. > :03:25.problem with this kind of cancer being beer was these are not many
:03:26. > :03:34.other treatments. You'll earn a trip would have been to not offer a
:03:35. > :03:42.reconstruction at all. We decided on the reconstruction using a 3`D
:03:43. > :03:52.renting technique. How do they work? This one can make complex structures
:03:53. > :03:57.like this, it costs ?300,000. When you know what you want to make you
:03:58. > :04:02.can then start to manufacture. It is one layer at the time, you can
:04:03. > :04:20.create very complex parts in this way. The patient, in his sixties,
:04:21. > :04:39.had titanium pelvis created this way. Doctors say the possibilities
:04:40. > :04:47.of its use in future at fantastic. We have done studies and practised
:04:48. > :04:55.using this technique. You could create evil person. May be! Visitors
:04:56. > :04:59.to a popular area of the Lake District will be forced to take a
:05:00. > :05:02.long detour to get there, for the next six weeks. The B5289, which
:05:03. > :05:05.links Keswick to Borrowdale, closed this morning for emergency repair
:05:06. > :05:08.work... Drivers will now be re`routed over the Honister Pass via
:05:09. > :05:11.Buttermere, Lorton and Whinlatter. Excited comic book collectors are
:05:12. > :05:14.converging on the region to bid for one of the rarest collections of
:05:15. > :05:19.comics ever found. They were owned by a man in Darlington but now his
:05:20. > :05:31.widow has put them up for sale, and they're on display in Newcastle, as
:05:32. > :05:35.Jim Knight reports. Batman, Superman, Spiderman ` all the super
:05:36. > :05:38.heroes from the last 60 years are all laid`out, lined`up in orderly
:05:39. > :05:42.lots` ready to go under the hammer tomorrow. It's a sight to get any
:05:43. > :05:45.serious comic collector drooling. There is a wide range of very
:05:46. > :05:59.readable comics which will be affordable for people. This
:06:00. > :06:04.fantastic collection of this comics which were created up here in the
:06:05. > :06:12.north`east. Back to the serious stuff and some of these earlier
:06:13. > :06:19.Marvel and DC editions, which are well preserved, will sell for a lot
:06:20. > :06:31.of money. Some of the comics here are worth for figure sums. The
:06:32. > :06:42.bidding starts tomorrow at 12. Now, if you are off to bed I will wish
:06:43. > :06:49.you and extra good night. Let's hear if we need a onesie! The wind will
:06:50. > :06:53.pick up later and we will see the first sight of this rain on the
:06:54. > :06:58.Cumbrian coast by tomorrow morning. It will spare red eastwards
:06:59. > :07:04.tomorrow. There could be snow on higher levels. This will put
:07:05. > :07:07.eastwards leaving a legacy of wintry showers through the afternoon. The
:07:08. > :07:13.risk of snow settling down to low levels through the afternoon. It
:07:14. > :07:20.will feel cold and will be very windy. After the wintry night
:07:21. > :07:26.tomorrow night things will set very wet and windy from the south`west
:07:27. > :07:29.through Wednesday. Blustery showers and sunny spells for Thursday. Any
:07:30. > :07:43.moment the National forecast. Good evening. You have my permission
:07:44. > :07:47.to complain about too many repeats with the British weather at the
:07:48. > :07:53.moment because yet again it looks as though our winter weather is set to
:07:54. > :07:57.continue with a repeat of last week. Sunny spells and scattered showers
:07:58. > :08:04.today and this is the next area of low pressure pushing in from the
:08:05. > :08:08.west. It influences our weather for the rest of the week. More rain to
:08:09. > :08:16.come and gales and severe gales to come. Ice is a possible risk. That
:08:17. > :08:24.means a cumulative total perhaps or 40-70 millimetres and that is an
:08:25. > :08:28.extra two to three inches. It will exacerbate the flooding we have
:08:29. > :08:34.already got across England at the moment. The cloud, wind and rain is
:08:35. > :08:41.already pushing in from the west. There will be a widespread frost.
:08:42. > :08:45.Ice could be a problem first thing in Northern Ireland. Snow in the
:08:46. > :08:49.hills and maybe in the North East of Scotland we could see snow at lower
:08:50. > :08:56.levels. Rain through northern England and Wales and Somerset. Some
:08:57. > :09:02.of that rain could be quite intense coupled with squally, gusty winds on
:09:03. > :09:06.exposed coasts. In the east it starts off relatively dry, but it
:09:07. > :09:13.will not be long before the wind and the rain spreads further east. Up
:09:14. > :09:17.into the North the snow showers continue on the hills, but by the
:09:18. > :09:24.end of the afternoon we could see wet snow even at lower levels. A
:09:25. > :09:29.cold day. There is a potential for some snow showers at lower levels
:09:30. > :09:33.across England and Wales on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. On
:09:34. > :09:39.Wednesday it is this area of low pressure which is the main factor in
:09:40. > :09:45.Wednesday's weather. More wet and windy weather. An early amber
:09:46. > :09:49.warning has already been issued from the South West. Severe gales are
:09:50. > :09:55.likely as we continue to see some very wet weather coming into central
:09:56. > :10:00.and southern areas. The strongest winds follow in behind those
:10:01. > :10:02.showers. In Scotland you are probably wondering what the
