:00:13. > :00:18.Good evening. A nine`year`old girl from County Durham is recovering
:00:19. > :00:21.from extensive facial injuries after a bottle was thrown through the
:00:22. > :00:27.window of a car she was travelling in. She had emergency plastic
:00:28. > :00:35.surgery. It is the start of the school half term holidays. But for
:00:36. > :00:39.Abby, a quiet week. She is recovering from serious facial
:00:40. > :00:44.injuries in what police described as a random act. The incident happened
:00:45. > :00:47.on Friday night when a bottle was thrown through the window of a
:00:48. > :00:53.vehicle being driven by her grandmother. Police believe that the
:00:54. > :00:58.bottle was thrown from the darkness of this subway at around 10:30pm.
:00:59. > :01:01.They say it was thrown with significant force, striking the
:01:02. > :01:10.passenger window, shattering the glass into Abby's face. The
:01:11. > :01:14.investigating officers said that Abby was close to losing her sight
:01:15. > :01:21.and had to undergo emergency plastic surgery. Whether this was on purpose
:01:22. > :01:25.or a mindless act, people must think about the consequences of what they
:01:26. > :01:30.do. Throwing anything at a carriageway can have serious
:01:31. > :01:33.consequences. The lease have appealed for witnesses to contact
:01:34. > :01:41.them and say that whilst the scars are beginning to heal, the
:01:42. > :01:46.psychological impact will take time. Armed police have arrested a number
:01:47. > :01:51.of men on a busy Darlington Road this evening. According to reports
:01:52. > :01:55.officers in several vehicles was a van to stop and detained the
:01:56. > :02:01.occupants at gunpoint. The force of made no comments over.

:02:06. > :02:09.flooding from the Darlington Fire service. A swift water rescue team
:02:10. > :02:14.will also be based in the Thames Valley.

:02:46. > :02:53.was thrown into the spotlight as a stand in break man. He and his
:02:54. > :03:01.team`mate Aaron 23rd place after two heats. Another one tomorrow.
:03:02. > :03:04.And on inside out tomorrow, an extraordinary journey from
:03:05. > :03:10.homelessness to opera star. Bridget Foley of Tyneside is a rising star
:03:11. > :03:13.with the charity, streetwise Opera. It rings together people in
:03:14. > :03:19.difficult circumstances to sing through their problems. It is about
:03:20. > :03:27.what you get out of it. Music can change a lot peoples lives in
:03:28. > :03:31.totally different ways. Whether you sing professionally or to a certain
:03:32. > :03:41.standard, who cares? As long as you get something out of it.
