:00:00. > :00:09.That's it for now. We're back with the late news
:00:10. > :00:14.Good evening. The families of four rail workers killed in Cumbria are
:00:15. > :00:17.claiming victory tonight in their ten year fight for improved safety.
:00:18. > :00:22.Earlier today a memorial service was held to mark the tenth anniversary
:00:23. > :00:25.of the Tebay Rail tragedy. At the service families heard new safety
:00:26. > :00:35.measures could be introduced by June. Phil Connell reports. We are
:00:36. > :00:42.here to remember our four colleagues and friends. On the outskirts of a
:00:43. > :00:48.small Cumbrian village they gathered. Family, friends and
:00:49. > :00:56.colleagues of those who died on February five and 2004. `` February
:00:57. > :01:03.15. It is so hard to take. To think that
:01:04. > :01:10.all of this was caused through greed. It is soul destroying. The
:01:11. > :01:16.accident happened on this stretch of track as the men were working.
:01:17. > :01:20.Without warning, hit by a runaway wagon which had no working brakes
:01:21. > :01:28.and was loaded with 16 tonnes of steel. Ten years on, after a
:01:29. > :01:35.determined fight by families, improved safety measures are now
:01:36. > :01:37.being implemented by Network Rail. Secondary protection for workers is
:01:38. > :01:43.set to be introduced later this year. Our focus is on making sure
:01:44. > :01:54.that safety is at the heart of everything we do. We don't want
:01:55. > :02:03.circumstances such as these. We know of over 300 similar incidents. But
:02:04. > :02:08.thankfully nobody did. `` died. The families of those killed here how
:02:09. > :02:13.that future accidents can be prevented. A 10`year fight to
:02:14. > :02:16.improve rail safety. Four adults and three children have
:02:17. > :02:25.escaped injury after a suspicious house fire in Stockton last night.
:02:26. > :02:28.The police say a "flammable liquid" was thrown at the property on
:02:29. > :02:31.Kingston Road around nine o'clock. Two men were seen running away
:02:32. > :02:34.shortly afterwards. There are new calls for extra funds
:02:35. > :02:37.and powers to be handed to our councils. The think tank IPPR
:02:38. > :02:40.believes the fortunes of northern communities could be revived if
:02:41. > :02:43.money currently spent in Whitehall on transport, housing and skills was
:02:44. > :02:46.handed over to councils currently enduring big cuts. It also believes
:02:47. > :02:52.city mayors for areas like Tyne and Wear and Teesside could help. It
:02:53. > :02:56.could make a huge difference. Having stronger local government and
:02:57. > :03:05.stronger local leaders can mean that you can get a fair share of the
:03:06. > :03:08.resources that helps with economic investment. At the moment, it is
:03:09. > :03:12.skewed towards London and the devolved nations.
:03:13. > :03:15.More on that on the Sunday Politics tomorrow on BBC One at 11am.

:03:19. > :03:26.FA Cup after beating Southampton 1`0 at the Stadium of Light this
:03:27. > :03:29.afternoon. Gus Poyet said he would rather lose this game than draw.
:03:30. > :03:32.Fortunately for the Sunderland boss, Southampton played like they didn't
:03:33. > :03:35.want to win. Nine changes for the Black Cats among them Craig Gardiner
:03:36. > :03:39.who lit up a grey Wearside afternoon with this belter just after half
:03:40. > :03:42.time. Poyet's heart would have been in his mouth late on when Ricky
:03:43. > :03:45.Lambert contrived to miss when it seemed easier to score but
:03:46. > :03:52.Sunderland held on to progress to the quarter finals with a 1`0 win. A
:03:53. > :03:55.paltry crowd of just 16,000 but Sunderland's dream, if that's what
