:00:10. > :00:14.Hello, good evening. A major BBC project to mark the centenary of the
:00:15. > :00:16.outbreak of the First World War begins tomorrow. Among the stories
:00:17. > :00:23.featured, the German bombardment of Hartlepool in 1914 was the first
:00:24. > :00:26.attack on Britain for centuries. The town was a target because of its
:00:27. > :00:32.shipyards and engine works, crucial to the war effort. Violet Muers, who
:00:33. > :00:35.died last year, was only seven when German ships approached the North
:00:36. > :00:52.East coast through the mist and opened fire. Her family stood firm.
:00:53. > :00:56.We couldn't come around. No, she said, I am not going out of the
:00:57. > :01:03.country. If I am to be killed, I will be killed out of my `` killed
:01:04. > :01:06.in my own house. That was my mother. And you can hear how Hartlepool
:01:07. > :01:10.fought back on BBC Tees tomorrow morning, and on Inside Out tomorrow
:01:11. > :01:13.night at 7.30 on BBC One. The mighty P2 first rolled out of
:01:14. > :01:16.the Plant Works eight decades ago. It was one of the largest
:01:17. > :01:21.locomotives they ever built there. Now a group of people are set to
:01:22. > :01:23.start on a new project to build a brand`new steam engine in
:01:24. > :01:33.Darlington, and TV personality James May has offered his services. I like
:01:34. > :01:41.milling machines. I like metalwork. I like the smell, all of that.
:01:42. > :01:45.It's a sad day for steam enthusiasts ` the last day of the great goodbye
:01:46. > :01:48.to some of our most famous locomotives gathered together at the
:01:49. > :01:52.National Railway Museum at Shildon. Huge crowds have flocked to Shildon
:01:53. > :01:55.over the last few days to see Mallard and her sister engines. It's
:01:56. > :01:58.the last time they'll be together before the locomotives head off to
:01:59. > :02:01.their different museums and destinations around the world. The
:02:02. > :02:04.celebration was timed to mark the anniversary of Mallard's famous
:02:05. > :02:12.world steam speed record ` when she clocked 126mph on the East Coast
:02:13. > :02:15.Main Line back in 1938. There's still been no formal
:02:16. > :02:18.identification of what species of whale it is which washed`up on the
:02:19. > :02:24.West Cumbrian coast earlier this week ` or what killed it. Marine
:02:25. > :02:28.scientists are still waiting to carry out a postmortem on the whale,
:02:29. > :02:32.which is lying in a remote location, on a sand bar at the northern most
:02:33. > :02:38.tip of the Ravenglass Estuary. It's unclear what will happen to the
:02:39. > :02:41.remains. Football now, and you could almost
:02:42. > :02:44.hear a sigh of relief sweep through St James' Park, as Newcastle
:02:45. > :02:47.snatched an injury time winner against Aston Villa today. The
:02:48. > :02:50.Magpies went into the game on the back of an alarming four game
:02:51. > :02:52.sequence of home defeats. Here's Jim Knight.
:02:53. > :02:56.A home goal drought and four straight losses had hit confidence
:02:57. > :02:59.hard, but the Magpies were buoyed by the return of skipper Fabricio
:03:00. > :03:04.Colocinni, and Loic Remy was back from suspension. It was Villa though
:03:05. > :03:11.who looked the more likely early on. Gabby Agbonlahor whistled this
:03:12. > :03:14.effort just over the bar. Cisse should have broken the deadlock,
:03:15. > :03:20.though, just before half time. Loic Remy found some space and put it on
:03:21. > :03:28.a plate. They started brightly after the break, though, with Yohan
:03:29. > :03:32.Gouufran going close. Paul Dummet went close with a left foot curler.
:03:33. > :03:39.Then Gouffran snatched at a half chance. The crowd were getting
:03:40. > :03:42.anxious. De Jong did get it in the net ` but play brought back for
:03:43. > :03:45.offside. Surely the breakthrough in the 87th minute, de Jong cleverly
:03:46. > :03:48.picked Villa's pocket ` but Remy, inexplicable, sidefooted against the
:03:49. > :03:55.post. Finally in the 92nd minute, some composure at last. Remy worked
:03:56. > :03:57.himself that vital half yard ` and slammed home the winner,
:03:58. > :04:05.emphatically ending the home goal drought and easing the pressure on a
:04:06. > :04:08.hugely relieved Alan Pardew. Meanwhile in today's Rugby Union
:04:09. > :04:12.action, a valiant effort from Newcastle at home to top of the
:04:13. > :04:16.table Northampton. But final score at Kingston Park, 22`16 to the
:04:17. > :04:22.visitors. Newcastle do get a losing bonus point.
:04:23. > :04:25.On the last day of the Winter Olympics at Sochi, Durham`born John
:04:26. > :04:28.Jackson came within eleven hundredths of a second of crowning
:04:29. > :04:32.Great Britain's best Winter Olympics in 90 years ` with a medal at the
:04:33. > :04:35.Sanki Sliding Center above Rosa Khutor on Sunday. Jackson steered
:04:36. > :04:38.his men's four`man bobsleigh team to a fifth place finish ` and was
:04:39. > :04:41.second fastest in two of the four runs.
:04:42. > :04:44.Heavy rain has led to a number of flood alerts and warnings in the
:04:45. > :04:47.North West and Cumbria, with gale force winds and heavy rain expected
:04:48. > :04:51.overnight. The Environment Agency has issued 14 amber alerts and one
:04:52. > :04:54.red flood warning. The A66 has been closed to high`sided vehicles in
:04:55. > :04:57.both directions between the A1 and the M6 due to strong winds.
:04:58. > :04:58.The weather prospects now for tonight and the start of the new
:04:59. > :05:06.week with Jennifer Bartram. tonight and the start of
:05:07. > :05:09.Good evening. It was certainly a Windygates Road therefore many of us
:05:10. > :05:14.and fairly wet across parts of Cumbria. The heavy rain is going to
:05:15. > :05:18.continue as we go through this evening and overnight. Here is the
:05:19. > :05:22.map into the early part of this evening, the Met Office has a yellow
:05:23. > :05:26.warning in force for the rain and it could fall as sleet or snow over the
:05:27. > :05:31.tops of the fells, but elsewhere a dry night. Temperatures dropping
:05:32. > :05:35.back to six or seven degrees. Monday morning, the weather front is still
:05:36. > :05:39.with us, starting to drag its way eastward, it will gradually start to
:05:40. > :05:42.break up. It is an improving picture as we go through the day. Some
:05:43. > :05:49.spells of sunshine into the afternoon, temperatures up to a high
:05:50. > :05:53.tomorrow of 10 Celsius. Another weather front mixes way through on
:05:54. > :05:55.Monday night and into Tuesday, eventually clearing away to sunshine
:05:56. > :05:59.and showers, highs of nine Celsius. That's it for now ` there's always
:06:00. > :06:07.more on our news online pages. We're back with the late news at around a
:06:08. > :06:12.Hello. Still no sign of the weather really settling down next week.
:06:13. > :06:16.There should be an improvement for most of us tomorrow. It will not be
:06:17. > :06:20.as windy as it has been today, and the band of rain will slowly peter
:06:21. > :06:24.out. We still have some rain to come through the night. This band of rain
:06:25. > :06:27.is quite slow moving, it will wander northwards into Dumfries and
:06:28. > :06:31.Galloway. Close to Northern Ireland, heavy rain in Cumbria and later in
:06:32. > :06:33.the night it will turn whether in Wales and the south-west. Southerly
:06:34. > :06:37.wind, quite strong at the moment, that will ease as the night goes on
:06:38. > :06:40.but it should be pretty mild, six or seven degrees, typically. Tomorrow,
:06:41. > :06:41.we start
