attacking Casualty actor Clive Mantle are cleared of all charges. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Also, why it'll cost one of the North's police forces ?300,000 to | :00:16. | :00:19. | |

And the people of a North Yorkshire town get the chance to star in a new | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
American film. In sport, the former Olympic boxer | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
hoping to stay on track for a world title fight. Nearly 30 years at the | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
last cup final, the ex`Sunderland footballer still haunted by his | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
Wembley mistake. Two men accused of an attack on | :00:45. | :00:57. | |
ex`Casualty actor Clive Mantle, during which part of his ear was | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
bitten off, have been cleared of all charges. Philip McGilvray, admitted | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
biting the 56`year`old's ear during a row over late`night noise in a | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Newcastle Travelodge, but claimed he was acting in self defence. His | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
friend Alan French, like Mr McGilvray, was cleared of Grievous | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Bodily Harm with Intent and the lesser charge of Grievous Bodily | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Harm, after a jury deliberated for almost five hours. Jonathan Swingler | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
joins us live from Newcastle Crown Court. Both defendants have been | :01:27. | :01:39. | |
found not guilty. Clive Mantle had been appearing at the Theatre Royale | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
last year. The 56`year`old is best known for his role in Casualty. He | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
had been staying at the Travelodge. He had been staying at the | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
Travelodge. He had woken up at in the corridor. He said he politely | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
told Philip McGilvray and Alan French to be quiet. The pair had | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
been drinking heavily. What happened next was all that in them being on | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
the ground and having part of his ear written off. The pair argued | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
they were acting in self defence, didn't they? `` bitten off. He said | :02:13. | :02:25. | |
it was like two hyenas attacking him. Philip McGilvray admitted | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
biting that year. He said he was acting in self defence. He said it | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
was like being hit by the car. Clive Mantle was on top of me. He said he | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
bore the actor was trying to kill him. He told the court he was | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
disgusted and had been for few years ago, in which a bouncer had bitten | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
off his ear. Alan French denied attacking him. He said he said he | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
was trying to help his friend. He denied punching the actor. Clive | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Mantle argued he had been punched six times. What sort of reaction did | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
the verdict get from Clive Mantle and the defendants? Both face | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
charges of grievous bodily harm with intent and grievous bodily harm. The | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
judge said he would accept a majority verdict, and a jury cleared | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
both pair of both charges. They didn't want to be interviewed. They | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
are heading back to Scotland. Alan French told me he wanted to be home | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
with his children. Clive Mantle wasn't in court today. | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
It's a 150 foot radio mast that's going to cost one of our police | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
forces ?300,000 to move. The mast was built in the 1960s and designed | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
by Sir Ove Arup ` the man also responsible for buildings like the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Sydney Opera House. But now Durham Police will have to dismantle the | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
mast and re`build it, after deciding to move to new headquarters. As our | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Chief Reporter Chris Stewart explains, leaving the mast where it | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
is, could have cost the police ?1 million. | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Built in the middle of the space race, the rocket radio mast. But | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
when the police decided to replace their shabby old headquarters, it | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
was time to knock it down. Except that would have been against the | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
law, because this is a listed structure. So, then they thought | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
about leaving it where it is, except that would mean the land it is on, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
which they want to sell for housing, would be worth an awful lot less. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
What we have got here is a space rocket which can't fly. A space | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
rocket which can't be demolished, and a space rocket which is in | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
danger of costing the cops ?1 million. Money the police need for | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
policing, to serve communities like Kimblesworth, Sacriston, | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Nettlesworth. The conclusion was inescapable. Houston we have a | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
problem. But now, there is a solution, ?300,000 will be spent on | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
dismantling the rocket and rebuilding it here at the new | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
headquarters, so the police are spending to save. There will always | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
be people who say the money could have been better spent elsewhere, | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
but we have to observe all the rules and revelations given to us by the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
people who look after the structures. We are going to do what | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
they say, get it shifted, but we will do it properly, and I think it | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
will look good in its new location. A bust of Sir Ove Arup stares out of | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
another of his works in Durham, the Kingsgate Footbridge, but the | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
commission for the mast was possibly his most unusual. It was just a | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
challenge for a radio mast, and here he was. He had done The Penguin Pool | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
in the Regent's Park Zoo, he did the Pompidou. This was yet another | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
challenge, as is this bridge we are standing on. Take off is scheduled | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
for the summer. Disappointingly it'll be on the back of a low | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
loader. A jury has heard details of text | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
messages between the former Newcastle united footballer and the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
woman he's alleged to have raped. In one text, Nile Ranger is described | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
as a "crazy sex pest". He denies rape at a hotel last year. Our News | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Correspondent Peter Harris reports. Nile Ranger. Today described in | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
court as a predator, in a lengthy series of text messages between | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
himself and the women he allegedly went on to rape. Rebuffing texts | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
inviting her to his flat, at one point she replied that he was like | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
"a crazy sex pest animal let out of its cage." Earlier he'd written: | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
"you are moving like I'm Jack Da Ripper. " She says: "Nile I'm defo | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
not coming over, will meet for drinks but not coming to your | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
house." He later writes:"I will not take you against your will." Under | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
cross examination he alleged victim told the court she separately | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
received texts from "random footballers" including someone | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
purporting to be former Newcastle player Andy Carroll. Before and | :06:59. | :07:09. | |
after a knee he said, to which she replied he can come out wearing a | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
wig. No one will ever think it is you, she said. | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
She was unsure where they got her number. It's alleged Nile Ranger, | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
who now plays for Swindon, raped the woman in a Newcastle hotel last | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
January. He says it was consensual, and his barrister suggested the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
hundreds of texts between them showed she was interested in | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
developing a relationship. She said that was not true. The case | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
continues. ?500,000 has been paid out to | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
stressed and injured teachers ` and children ` in Cumbria in the last | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
five years ` according to figures released by the County Council. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Union leaders say the payments reflect the increasing workloads | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
faced by teachers. Mark McAlindon is in our Carlisle newsroom now. Mark, | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
what exactly are these payments for? The precise figure over the five | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
years up to March last year Carol was ?520`000, and that was revealed | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
after a freedom of information request was made to Cumbria County | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Council. That money was used to pay compensation claims and legal costs | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
on the part of teachers, schools staff and pupils. Broadly speaking, | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
we're talking about claims made for victims of stress, and for injuries | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
suffered while at school. In particular, more than ?111,000 was | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
paid out to teachers suffering stress linked to bullying or | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
harassment. ?121,000 was paid out to pupils for a range of injuries, the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
most common being those linked to a lack of supervision. ?90,000 was | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
spent compensating teachers who'd suffered trips or falls. And ?60,000 | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
was for injuries linked to what's called 'defective premises.' There | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
were other, smaller amounts that make up this half`million figure, | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
Carol. And Mark, what have people in the profession had to say about | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
this? I've spoken to teachers' leaders today, those who represent | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
members of the profession. Alan Rutter is Secretary of the Cumbria | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
branch of the National Union of Teachers. He said to me that in his | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
view this is the tip of the iceberg. He says the payments being made to | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
teachers in particular reflect rising levels of stress, and he says | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
people are being driven out of the profession by stress and | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
unreasonable expectations. He says that if everyone who had to leave | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
teaching was given compensation then the bill would run into millions of | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
pounds, not thousands. As for injuries for example, he says he's | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
come across incidents in the past where, for example, chairs have been | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
thrown at teachers leaving them injured and unable to return to | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
work. He says these are not payments made for frivolous claims. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
A Teesside Labour MP has defended a decision to take on an apprentice in | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
his office at ?3.37`an`hour. The political blogger Guido Fawkes says | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Alex Cunningham is a hypocrite who has campaigned for rises in the | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
minimum wage. The legal minimum for an apprentice is just ?2.68`an`hour. | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
But in the past the Stockton MP has called for all young people to get a | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
minimum of ?6.31. Mr Cunningham says he's just trying to offer someone an | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
opportunity. I have campaigned for equal pay for | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
equal work. The role I have in mind is for an apprentice, who will work | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
in the office and work towards a qualification. The rate is above the | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
minimum rate for the job, of course. It is not really enough. I would | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
like to be able to pay more, but what I want to do is give the young | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
person an opportunity to get properly qualification and go on to | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
get a proper job. All this week on Look North we're | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
commemorating the "World War One at Home" a BBC project in partnership | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
with Imperial War Museums. In tonight's look at how our region | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
contributed to the war effort, Gerry Jackson reports on the women | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
munition workers who trounced their opponents on the football pitch ` | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
not least due to one tough Northumberland lass. Wait until you | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
hear her goal`scoring record! She was a miner's daughter: tall, | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
strong and only 17. And a goal`scoring phenomenon. Organised | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
women's football had begun in the 1890s, but it wasn't until the Great | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
War that their game became generally accepted. Times were changing fast. | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
Women were taking on jobs vacated by men and they were the vast majority | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
of the munition workers supplying the front lines overseas. It was | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
often hard, physical work. Those with energy to spare began | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
organising themselves into football teams. The best of them were Blyth | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Spartans Ladies and their star centre forward, Bella Reay. Nearly a | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
hundred years on, her grandaughter is walking in her footsteps In one | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
season, Bella's team were unbeaten in all their 30 games and she scored | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
133 times. There are crowds of 10,000 people. That was a lot of | :11:57. | :12:11. | |
people in those days. On average, it is at least three goals a game. I | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
don't think there was a game she played when she did not score. What | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
with the atmosphere have been like? When you consider that people were | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
working long hours, seven days a week, with very little time off, | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
there was nothing else in the way of release for them from hard work. To | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
be able to come what is a beautiful ground and see a proper match | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
contested between two teams of women, it was very unique. The games | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
drew ever bigger crowds, all raising funds for the war effort for some | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
people there was the novelty of seeing women in shorts. For others | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
that was a minor scandal. But these women were a long way from your | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
archetyple genteel, delicate Edwardian ladies. Some of the | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
language here adhere was a bit industrial? It was not just the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
language. They could be violent. Kicking and hacking the opponent was | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
quite common. Bella said she sometimes came up against some big, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
hard ladies and gave as good as she got. This helps explain why she was | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
successful. In 1918, Blyth beat Allcomers to win the northeast | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
Munitionettes Cup, Bella, naturally scored a hattrick in the final. She | :13:38. | :13:49. | |
said she was good but she knew it. It is really nice to think she was | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
that good. We have her gold medal to prove she played, all of the better | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
pieces we have. It is nice to think that a little bit of history behind | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
your family isn't there. They were pioneers and their exploits could | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
have been a springboard for women's football. Unfortunately in 1921, the | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
FA bandits. That ban wasn't lifted until the 1970s. By that work into | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
her 60s for the local farmer. I sometimes wonder when she was | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
working in the fields, she cast her I in the direction of the football | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
stadium and heard faint echoes from the past. She remembered being 17 | :14:43. | :14:55. | |
years old. You would not have found her in a | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
nightclub. And there'll be a World War One at Home report on Look North | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
each evening this week. Tomorrow morning on your local radio station, | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
you can hear another story about the impact World War One had on where | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
you live. Go to www.bbc.co.uk/ww1 and follow the links to find more | :15:11. | :15:14. | |

People in a North Yorkshire town have been given a chance to be the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
stars of a new American film. The Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
is being used as a film set by a US film company, shooting a film about | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
the life of Handel, the renowned German`born composer. Producers have | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
had no shortage of local extras willing to take part, as Phil | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Chapman's been finding out. Given the chance to wear a powdered | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
wig for a day and help a visiting American film create recreate a | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
piece of 18th`century musical history, there was no shortage of | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
extras flocking to Richmond. The Georgian Theatre Royal was a star in | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
itself with the director, and he was pleased to get extras who could mime | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
to violin as well. Our criteria was to have people who could play and, | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
even though it is played back, they need to look the part. When it is | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
finished it will sound terrific. You guys have locations here we can't | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
duplicate in the States. It is a privilege to be here. Here in | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Richmond, some extras were even found among the staff at the | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
theatre, and others were literally pulled off the street. I was taking | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
my son to nursery. I got stopped by a drunken man, who wanted to have a | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
little chat. The casting director came out and asked if I would like | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
to take part. I declined at first, and then I dropped my son off at | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
nursery. I came back and he had his eye out ` the casting director. He | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
asked me again and I accepted. It has been a whirlwind since then. I | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
came into the office expecting a day counting money and preparing | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
figures. I heard a production company were short of some extras, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
so I was dragged across to wardrobe and make`up. It has been fantastic. | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
Now, Penny and Ruth and the rest of the cast are hoping they survive the | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
cutting room floor for when the TV drama airs in the US later this | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
year. Sporting stars have been honoured at | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
the North East Disability Sports Awards in Durham today. Among the | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
winners was Josef Craig who was named Male Personality of the Year. | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
The awards recognise disabled athletes who've contributed most | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
over the last year. Stephanie Cleasby reports. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
Another great year for paralympic gold medallist Josef Craig. The | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
17`year`old swimmer adds another trophy to his growing collection. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
But it was left to mum to pick up the Male Personality of the Year | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
award because the man himself was at school. It means a great deal, | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
especially being a disability personality. That is what he says he | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
is disabled son I am proud of it. And it was another South Tyneside | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
swimming star, Nicole Lough, who won the equivalent award for the ladies | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
` topping off an exciting year. I won bronze in November. I met Prince | :18:05. | :18:18. | |
William. Karate champion Ryan Spencer, who suffers from a rare | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
bone condition, won the Young Male Achiever Award. Any award makes me | :18:22. | :18:32. | |
feel better about myself, and hopefully I can set an example to | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
other people, and they can achieve anything they want. And the Peterlee | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
athlete Megan Atkinson won the women's trophy for her success in | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
swimming. I have been chosen out of so many people. Was it a shock? Yes. | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
I was up against so many excellent athletes. There was also recognition | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
for Northern Thunder Powerchair Football Club which won Club of the | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Year for their competition success in Europe. The Coach of the Year | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
Award went to Ron Young who's been involved with cricket for more than | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
20 years. And there was an award for the couragous gymnast Kieran | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Maxwell, who's fighting cancer for the second time. 2013 was a high | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
achieving year for disability sport in the north`east. The awards have | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
the most nominations ever. No doubt a positive legacy of the 20 of 12 `` | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
2012 Olympic Games. Hot on the heels of a much`needed | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
victory over Aston Villa, some good news for Newcastle united off the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
pitch. The club's announced profits of just under ?10 million for the | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
year to June 2013. That's up from ?1.4 million ` a 700% increase! | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
Almost ?29 million was spent on new players, with ?11 million re`couped | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
on sales. The wage bill fell by ?2.4 million to just under ?62 million | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
pounds. The wages to turnover ratio was 64%` well under the 70% Premier | :19:58. | :20:11. | |
League average. But the club still owes owner Mike Ashley ?129 million, | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
although that debt is interest free. Former Sunderland boss Steve Bruce | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
has already got one over his old club in two league games this | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
season. And last night his Hull City side booked an FA Cup quarterfinal | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
against the Black Cats. It'll be played a week on Sunday ` exactly | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
seven days after the League Cup Final. | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
For most footballers, playing at Wembley would be the high point of | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
your career ` especially if you're just 18, and you're turning out for | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
your hometown club. But it doesn't always work out like that. Every | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Sunderland fan who was around in 1985 will remember the part David | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Corner played in the Milk Cup final with Norwich City. And ` as Jeff | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Brown found out ` that's the problem. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Popping into a pub on the seafront at Roker, not far from where | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Sunderland's old ground once stood. These days it is something David | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Corner doesn't think twice about doing, but it is not something he | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
has taken for granted over the past 29 years. Not after what happened at | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Wembley. I chased the ball down with a player in hot pursuit. I tried to | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
shepherd the ball out basically. He nipped in and managed to get across | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
in and we were 1`0 down. I have never been able to forget it ever | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
since. As a professional you have got to | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
put it out of your mind. You will make mistakes. You have to get on | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
with it. That is what I tried to do. Obviously, later on in the game we | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
got a penalty, which Clive Walker missed. Although, I do get the blame | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
for that these days. When you went back in the dressing room, did | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
anyone point the finger, or were they saying it was one of those | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
things? Not at all. The lads were great. The manager was superb. He | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
came in and said overall I had a decent game. But the fans weren't | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
always so understanding. A broken jaw, fractured eye socket and | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
stitches in his lip. Just some of the scars left over from the ones | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
who blame David for the Cup Final defeat. Yes, I think I've been | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
reminded more or less every day since that by someone who recognises | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
me, and they shout the famous words, why didn't you kick it out. On the | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
whole, the fans are OK with it now. There was some dodgy moments early | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
days, because some of the fans were a little bit upset at what had | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
happened. Sunderland don't often get to Wembley. Now, of course, they are | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
back there and, if you can get a ticket, David will be there as well. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Obviously, we will go as underdogs as we usually do, but we beat | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Manchester City once this season. We have to think all of our players | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
have to play at the top, their top performance on the day, and | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
Manchester City players have to have some average performances. You never | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
know, with a bit of luck we could well pull something off. If they do | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
pull it off, maybe David will be able to remember Wembley for all the | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
right reasons. Former County Durham Olympic boxer | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
Bradley Saunders may only be on the undercard of Stuart Hall's world | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
title defence at the end of March, but he has global ambitions of his | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
own. Saunders, from Sedgefield, jetted in to Tyneside from his | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
Marbella training base to talk about the latest step on his professional | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
journey. Mark Tulip reports. Even France's Warren admits | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
28`year`old Bradley Saunders is in a hurry to get to the top. That means | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
facing some tough title opponents. Bradley has gone at a rapid rate | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
than we are used to break guide. It'll prove a difficult test. Paul | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
has mixed it with the best. Bradley, it is a big ask. Hopefully he is in | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
colour on the top of his game. Saunders, one of British boxing's | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
outstanding emerging talents, features on the undercard of Stuart | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Hall's IBF World Bantamweight title defence against Martin Ward at the | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Metro Radio Arena on Saturday 29th March. The all`action 28`year`old ` | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
a Team GB Olympian at Beijing in 2008 and a Bronze medal winner at | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
the 2007 World Amateur Championships ` has raced to an unbeaten eight | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
fights since turning pro in February 2012 and will take a big step up in | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
his ninth pro fight. I am immensely strong person. They would have the | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
chop my hands after stop me boxing. I've had the worst hand injuries | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
going. They are better now. It won't stop me doing something I love. The | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
key to his success is living in more player. I am fully focused on my | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
boxing. I go to the gym. I go to pick my kid up. I am living the | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
life. That is a good idea. We would benefit from training in Spain. We | :25:24. | :25:34. | |
had the sunshine today but also those showers. There are still some | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
showers this evening. Most of them should now disappear. Many of us | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
will have a dry night. It will stay breezy for us. Temperatures will | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
drop below four Celsius. You might well see temperatures cold enough | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
for just a touch of ground frost. A chilly start tomorrow. It will be | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
dry so make the most of it. The next band of rain comes in from the West. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
It'll be heavy at times when some snow in the hills. Before those | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
showers become widespread you will start to see something a bit drier | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
and brighter developed. Tempered as will peak at eight Celsius. We have | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
a brisk and gusty south westerly wind to contend with. As we head to | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
tomorrow night, the next frontal system comes in, bringing wet and | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
windy weather. As that clears away on Thursday, it leaves sunny spells | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
and a few showers. That'll be the case on Friday as well. If you are | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
out and about in Cumbria over the next two days, there will be some | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
rain for a good spell tomorrow. The showers are more scattered on | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
Thursday. It turns a bit colder on Friday, when the risk of overnight | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
frost. It is a similar picture in the north`east. The winds come from | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
the south`west or West. They tend to get the Friday, with temperatures of | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
six or seven Celsius. We will keep you updated on your local radio | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
station. Please do keep your weather pictures coming in. Thank you very | :27:29. | :27:42. | |
much. That is it from me. We are back later on at 10:25pm. | :27:43. | :27:47. |
