:00:00. > :00:07.four x 400 m relay team. That's it. We're
:00:08. > :00:11.Hello, good evening There are concerns tonight that parts of a
:00:12. > :00:19.snooker centre in Hartlepool could collapse after a huge fire darly
:00:20. > :00:22.today. Fire crews arrived at the scene around 3.30am this morning to
:00:23. > :00:25.find the first floor well alight. At its height around 25 firefighters
:00:26. > :00:28.tackled the blaze. No one w`s injured but the building was very
:00:29. > :00:30.badly damaged and is structtrally unsound.
:00:31. > :00:32.Academy schools in the region are "out`performing" those run by local
:00:33. > :00:36.councils, according to a Conservative Peer. Lord Batds told
:00:37. > :00:39.the BBC's Sunday Politics that failing schools were being turned
:00:40. > :00:47.around by removing them frol local authority control ` a policx opposed
:00:48. > :00:50.by teaching unions. The evidence is that they have outperformed local
:00:51. > :00:52.authority schools in actually raising educational perform`nce
:00:53. > :00:59.which is so vital to our region s success in the future. It is natural
:01:00. > :01:03.that if that seems to be solething which has worked, you'd want as many
:01:04. > :01:07.people to have access to it as possible. But County Durham MP Helen
:01:08. > :01:10.Goodman said the issue for Labour was more about improving thd quality
:01:11. > :01:14.of teaching. The most important thing is the quality of the teaching
:01:15. > :01:18.and the teachers, and that hs why we are very keen that all teachers are
:01:19. > :01:21.qualified, and we were amazdd that this government changed the law to
:01:22. > :01:26.allow unqualified teachers hn our schools.
:01:27. > :01:29.Football, and Sunderland won't be making a second Wembley appdarance
:01:30. > :01:34.of the season ` they were bdaten in their FA Cup quarter final `t Hull
:01:35. > :01:38.City this afternoon. The sides hadn't met in the Cup
:01:39. > :01:42.since 1976, and in a cagey first half the main drama was a pdnalty
:01:43. > :01:46.for Hull. A let off for Sunderland. After the break though, luck
:01:47. > :01:50.deserted them. A great headdr made it three goals in as many g`mes for
:01:51. > :01:54.Curtis Davies. Four minutes later, Hull were two up. The former
:01:55. > :01:59.Sunderland man David Meyler in the news again, keeping his head for a
:02:00. > :02:02.solo finish. And the visitors' unhappy afternoon was capped off
:02:03. > :02:06.with a woeful Lee Cattermold backpass. Matt Fryatt with `n easy
:02:07. > :02:11.finish to end Sunderland's great Cup run. Premier League survival now the
:02:12. > :02:15.Black Cats' only concern. Fhnal score 3`0.
:02:16. > :02:19.It was a chance meeting ` that led to an investment, and now C`rlisle's
:02:20. > :02:22.Keltic Nation are at the top of Northern League Division Ond. The
:02:23. > :02:24.club is sponsored by Scottish entrepreneur and multi`millhonaire
:02:25. > :02:28.Frank Lynch, who got involvdd when he stopped to ask for directions `
:02:29. > :02:32.and ended up putting money hnto the club. Tomorrow's Late Kick Off looks
:02:33. > :02:38.at whether Carlisle can support two football teams, just two miles
:02:39. > :02:42.apart. A statement would be to turn professional in five years `nd we
:02:43. > :02:46.have achieved that now, and that is where we are today. We started off,
:02:47. > :02:50.as you know, at Guildford P`rk. Our average crowd was 60, 70 people and
:02:51. > :02:55.now we are averaging probably 6 0 on a Saturday.
:02:56. > :02:59.And you see more about Kelthc Nation on Late Kick Off, tomorrow night at
:03:00. > :03:02.11.20pm on BBC One. The family of Teesside's Richard
:03:03. > :03:06.Kilty are celebrating his gold medal at the World Indoor Athletics
:03:07. > :03:09.Championships. The 24`year`old shocked the favourites to whn the
:03:10. > :03:15.tightest ever 60 metres sprhnt final.
:03:16. > :03:20.With a very tight finish, the Kilty family had to hold their brdath for
:03:21. > :03:23.a few seconds until the offhcial results were announced, but today
:03:24. > :03:28.the family is celebrating Rhchard's boyhood dream come true. It is
:03:29. > :03:32.amazing, I could not have dreamed this. I always knew when I was a kid
:03:33. > :03:37.I had something special, so to be world champion is crazy. Getting to
:03:38. > :03:41.the World Championships, representing Great Britain, was a
:03:42. > :03:44.massive thing, but to see hhm win his heat, then it became more nerve
:03:45. > :03:50.wracking in the semifinals. But to get to the final it was verx, very
:03:51. > :03:54.nervous. But to see him win, it was a dream come true. You can't buy
:03:55. > :04:00.that. ?1 million wouldn't bty that. It was the best moment of mx life.
:04:01. > :04:03.Richard and his little sistdr, Heidi, have been inseparabld,
:04:04. > :04:06.training together since thex were ten, and today in Stockton she was
:04:07. > :04:11.delighted at his gold success in Poland. Me and Richard, we trained
:04:12. > :04:17.together since we were little kids, and when I got to about 16 H stopped
:04:18. > :04:21.in athletics and had my own family. Richard carried on and is where he
:04:22. > :04:26.is now. He has done a reallx wonderful thing. We are really proud
:04:27. > :04:29.of him. After this weekend the whole world will know the name, Rhchard
:04:30. > :04:32.The Teeside Tornado, and back here on Teesside the whole familx are
:04:33. > :04:40.continuing their celebrations well into the night.
:04:41. > :04:45.Organisers of Newcastle's fhrst film and comic convention have ddscribed
:04:46. > :04:48.demand for the event as amazing They say around fifteen thotsand
:04:49. > :04:52.fans attended this weekend ` some waiting hours yesterday to get in.
:04:53. > :04:56.It'd been estimated that up to 000 at a time could have entered, but it
:04:57. > :05:00.had to be capped to 4000 to avoid congestion.
:05:01. > :05:04.And after the best weekend weather so far this year for many of us ..
:05:05. > :05:10.Time for the region's forec`st now ` with Keeley Donovan.
:05:11. > :05:13.Hello. A good deal of settldd weather to come through this week.
:05:14. > :05:17.Pleasant weather too as high pressure builds from the sotth.
:05:18. > :05:20.First we have to get through a damp night, so cloud and rain sphlling
:05:21. > :05:24.down from the north. It will weaken as it spread into No rth Yorkshire,
:05:25. > :05:28.before it clears southwards. Some cloud breaks developing latdr in the
:05:29. > :05:31.night. Here's where we're lhkely to see some fog patches developing
:05:32. > :05:35.Temperatures could drop as low as around four degrees, which hs 3
:05:36. > :05:38.Fahrenheit. Any cloud will tend to thin and break through tomorrow
:05:39. > :05:41.Bright and sunny spells will spread southwards through the course of the
:05:42. > :05:45.day, so everywhere should enjoy some spring sunshine through tomorrow.
:05:46. > :05:48.Some places may see a bit of difference in temperatures compared
:05:49. > :05:50.to today. It has been a fairly mild today, particularly in the Dast and
:05:51. > :06:01.North Yorkshire. Temperaturds ranging from nine to 11 degrees A
:06:02. > :06:15.lot of settle weather the come. A frosty night
:06:16. > :06:18.Aggro in good and Wales had warm weather today with the hotspot
:06:19. > :06:26.Gravesend in Kent. For Scotland and Ireland, your
:06:27. > :06:31.weather will improve this week. It wasn't there today with the cloud.
:06:32. > :06:35.Some rain in Northern Ireland pushing across more of Scotland and
:06:36. > :06:38.the next few hours. This weather front is moving south overnight but
:06:39. > :06:45.by the end of the night is nothing more than a bit of cloud. Behind
:06:46. > :06:49.it, skies clear by the end of the night in Scotland and Northern
:06:50. > :06:54.Ireland, so a touch of frost, patchy ice and fog. Tomorrow brings a
:06:55. > :06:58.complete reversal of fortunes. The northern half of the UK will be
:06:59. > :07:02.sunny once any patchy fog clears away. Not much warmer numerically
:07:03. > :07:07.but in the sunshine, it will feel warmer, whereas much of England and
:07:08. > :07:11.Wales will be cloudy and cooler compared to today, especially along
:07:12. > :07:17.the North Sea coast, with cloud and a brisk north-easterly wind. Where
:07:18. > :07:18.we saw 19 degrees today, it will be closer to nine tomorrow, which will
