That's it for now we'll be back at 6pm. Stay with us on BBC One. It's | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
time for Good afternoon. A memorial service | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
is taking place this lunchtime for four track workers killed in the | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Tebay Rail accident in Cumbria ten years ago today. They died when a | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Runaway trailer crashed into them while they were working on the West | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
coast mainline at Tebay. It led to a campaign for new safety equipment. A | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
simple windswept Memorial records the names of four men who died doing | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
their jobs. Crushed to death by a runaway trolley careering out of | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
control along the main railway line one morning in February 2004. Those | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
who saw what happened will never forget it. Just saw a black object | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
come whizzing past us and then run right over the lads stop no | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
warnings. If you hadn't stepped away, you would have been killed | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
to? Yes, they would have been more fatalities. An investigation into | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
the accident highlighted various shortcomings that led to tragedy. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Network Rail said today that a secondary protection system which | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
sounds an alarm to warm crews of a runaway approaching will be in place | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
across the country by June. Four adults and three children have | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
escaped injury after a suspicious house fire in Stockton last night. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
The police say a "flammable liquid" was thrown at the property on | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Kingston Road around nine o'clock. Two men were seen running away | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
shortly afterwards. There are new calls for extra funds | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
and powers to be handed to our councils. The thinktank IPPR | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
believes the fortunes of northern communities could be revived if | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
money currently spent in Whitehall on transport, housing and skills was | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
handed over to councils currently enduring big cuts. It also believes | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
city mayors for areas like Tyne and Wear and Teesside could help. | :02:04. | :02:18. | |
It could make a huge difference. Having stronger local government and | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
stronger local leaders can mean you are able to get a fair share of | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
resources, public money, helping the economic investment. At the moment | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
that is skewed towards London and the devolved nations. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
And Sunday Politics will be talking to the new leader of a combined | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
group of North East councils about the future funding for local | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
authorities tomorrow on BBC One at 11am. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |

we could be heading towards a sunny Sunday, something I assure we will | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
all be grateful. | :04:18. | :04:19. |
