Hello, good evening. A major BBC project to mark the centenary of the

:00:10.:00:14.

outbreak of the First World War begins tomorrow. Among the stories

:00:15.:00:16.

featured, the German bombardment of Hartlepool in 1914 was the first

:00:17.:00:23.

attack on Britain for centuries. The town was a target because of its

:00:24.:00:26.

shipyards and engine works, crucial to the war effort. Violet Muers, who

:00:27.:00:32.

died last year, was only seven when German ships approached the North

:00:33.:00:35.

East coast through the mist and opened fire. Her family stood firm.

:00:36.:00:52.

We couldn't come around. No, she said, I am not going out of the

:00:53.:00:56.

country. If I am to be killed, I will be killed out of my `` killed

:00:57.:01:03.

in my own house. That was my mother. And you can hear how Hartlepool

:01:04.:01:06.

fought back on BBC Tees tomorrow morning, and on Inside Out tomorrow

:01:07.:01:10.

night at 7.30 on BBC One. The mighty P2 first rolled out of

:01:11.:01:13.

the Plant Works eight decades ago. It was one of the largest

:01:14.:01:16.

locomotives they ever built there. Now a group of people are set to

:01:17.:01:21.

start on a new project to build a brand`new steam engine in

:01:22.:01:23.

Darlington, and TV personality James May has offered his services. I like

:01:24.:01:33.

milling machines. I like metalwork. I like the smell, all of that.

:01:34.:01:41.

It's a sad day for steam enthusiasts ` the last day of the great goodbye

:01:42.:01:45.

to some of our most famous locomotives gathered together at the

:01:46.:01:48.

National Railway Museum at Shildon. Huge crowds have flocked to Shildon

:01:49.:01:52.

over the last few days to see Mallard and her sister engines. It's

:01:53.:01:55.

the last time they'll be together before the locomotives head off to

:01:56.:01:58.

their different museums and destinations around the world. The

:01:59.:02:01.

celebration was timed to mark the anniversary of Mallard's famous

:02:02.:02:04.

world steam speed record ` when she clocked 126mph on the East Coast

:02:05.:02:12.

Main Line back in 1938. There's still been no formal

:02:13.:02:15.

identification of what species of whale it is which washed`up on the

:02:16.:02:18.

West Cumbrian coast earlier this week ` or what killed it. Marine

:02:19.:02:24.

scientists are still waiting to carry out a postmortem on the whale,

:02:25.:02:28.

which is lying in a remote location, on a sand bar at the northern most

:02:29.:02:32.

tip of the Ravenglass Estuary. It's unclear what will happen to the

:02:33.:02:38.

remains. Football now, and you could almost

:02:39.:02:41.

hear a sigh of relief sweep through St James' Park, as Newcastle

:02:42.:02:44.

snatched an injury time winner against Aston Villa today. The

:02:45.:02:47.

Magpies went into the game on the back of an alarming four game

:02:48.:02:50.

sequence of home defeats. Here's Jim Knight.

:02:51.:02:52.

A home goal drought and four straight losses had hit confidence

:02:53.:02:56.

hard, but the Magpies were buoyed by the return of skipper Fabricio

:02:57.:02:59.

Colocinni, and Loic Remy was back from suspension. It was Villa though

:03:00.:03:04.

who looked the more likely early on. Gabby Agbonlahor whistled this

:03:05.:03:11.

effort just over the bar. Cisse should have broken the deadlock,

:03:12.:03:14.

though, just before half time. Loic Remy found some space and put it on

:03:15.:03:20.

a plate. They started brightly after the break, though, with Yohan

:03:21.:03:28.

Gouufran going close. Paul Dummet went close with a left foot curler.

:03:29.:03:32.

Then Gouffran snatched at a half chance. The crowd were getting

:03:33.:03:39.

anxious. De Jong did get it in the net ` but play brought back for

:03:40.:03:42.

offside. Surely the breakthrough in the 87th minute, de Jong cleverly

:03:43.:03:45.

picked Villa's pocket ` but Remy, inexplicable, sidefooted against the

:03:46.:03:48.

post. Finally in the 92nd minute, some composure at last. Remy worked

:03:49.:03:55.

himself that vital half yard ` and slammed home the winner,

:03:56.:03:57.

emphatically ending the home goal drought and easing the pressure on a

:03:58.:04:05.

hugely relieved Alan Pardew. Meanwhile in today's Rugby Union

action, a valiant effort from Newcastle at home to top of the

:04:09.:04:12.

table Northampton. But final score at Kingston Park, 22`16 to the

:04:13.:04:16.

visitors. Newcastle do get a losing bonus point.

On the last day of the Winter Olympics at Sochi, Durham`born John

:04:23.:04:25.

Jackson came within eleven hundredths of a second of crowning

:04:26.:04:28.

Great Britain's best Winter Olympics in 90 years ` with a medal at the

:04:29.:04:32.

Sanki Sliding Center above Rosa Khutor on Sunday. Jackson steered

his men's four`man bobsleigh team to a fifth place finish ` and was

:04:36.:04:38.

second fastest in two of the four runs.

:04:39.:04:41.

Heavy rain has led to a number of flood alerts and warnings in the

:04:42.:04:44.

North West and Cumbria, with gale force winds and heavy rain expected

overnight. The Environment Agency has issued 14 amber alerts and one

:04:48.:04:51.

red flood warning. The A66 has been closed to high`sided vehicles in

:04:52.:04:54.

both directions between the A1 and the M6 due to strong winds.

Good evening. It was certainly a Windygates Road therefore many of us

warning in force for the rain and it could fall as sleet or snow over the

tops of the fells, but elsewhere a dry night. Temperatures dropping

:05:27.:05:31.

back to six or seven degrees. Monday morning, the weather front is still

:05:32.:05:35.

with us, starting to drag its way eastward, it will gradually start to

break up. It is an improving picture as we go through the day. Some

spells of sunshine into the afternoon, temperatures up to a high

Hello. Still no sign of the weather really settling down next week.

:06:08.:06:12.

There should be an improvement for most of us tomorrow. It will not be

:06:13.:06:16.

as windy as it has been today, and the band of rain will slowly peter

:06:17.:06:20.

out. We still have some rain to come through the night. This band of rain

:06:21.:06:24.

is quite slow moving, it will wander northwards into Dumfries and

:06:25.:06:27.

Galloway. Close to Northern Ireland, heavy rain in Cumbria and later in

the night it will turn whether in Wales and the south-west. Southerly

:06:32.:06:33.

wind, quite strong at the moment, that will ease as the night goes on

:06:34.:06:37.
