chilly old week, George. Rais thank you. That's all from the BBC news | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Monday night's Look North. In the headlines... | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Gone to the Wall. The charity that promotes and protects Hadri`n's Wall | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
is wound up after its funding is cut. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Prison isn't working. But these ex`inmates do find a job ` `nd a bed | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
` if they kick their addicthons I am volunteering in a shop. @t one | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
time, I would not be trusted, I would just take all the mondy. I'm | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
getting trusted and it feels good. Not sleepwalking but sleep`working. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Science fiction, filmed in the North East ` and screened tonight. | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
And a brush with fame. The Olympic champion who returned to his old | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
school ` with his dentist! In tonight's Team Talk: Is there any | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
way back for Sunderland aftdr another defeat to relegation rivals? | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
And better late than never ` Papiss Cisse finally finds the back of the | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
net to give the Magpies a l`st minute victory. | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
The World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
Funding cuts mean the Hadri`n's Wall Trust will have to close, whth the | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
loss of ten jobs. Now tourism businesses along the Roman Wall | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
from Tyneside to the Solway Firth, are wondering who'll sell the Wall | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
to a worldwide audience in future? Our News Correspondent Peter Harris | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
is live on Hadrian's Wall now. This is about how we protect world | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Heritage sites in difficult times. The trust reckoned it needed | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
?650,000 a year to properly protect and promote the wall to tourists. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
That money has dwindled and now gone bust. It is a very sad day. I think | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
the team of brilliantly skilled people, they have made inro`ds with | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
local businesses, they are valued by the people they worked with. We | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
found investment and support for more than 100 businesses in the last | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
two or three years. We wish those businesses success going forward | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
with the world Heritage sitd. The trust goes and money is dis`ppearing | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
from this area for promoting tourism, what does that mean to | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
local businesses? The trust says money is dwindling in promoting the | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
area, will it make a differdnce The announcement is such a surprise We | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
started this campsite in thd middle of the recession. The one in the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
North East shuts. Now, with the trust, it is a disaster. It will be | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
a real shame to lose it bec`use we get tourists from all over the world | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
to rely on the bus to visit the attraction. Bad news? I think so. We | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
have built up a lot of expertise. Some of the busiest days we have had | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
have been when we put events on How would you replace the expertise and | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
the knowledge they have got? Has any impact study been done on rdplacing | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
it? It seems to be a disastdr, just to save a few pounds from | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
somebody's budget. Thank yot for joining us. The council will take on | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
some responsibilities. ' thd view. Indeed, thank you for that. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Durham Police say they belidve the body of a man ` found on a beach in | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
County Durham at the weekend ` IS that of missing Mark Bushnell. Mr | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Bushnell, the deputy head tdacher of Durham School, disappeared two weeks | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
ago. A postmortem examination is being carried out on the body, which | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
was found in the water at Blackhall Rocks near Peterlee on Saturday | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
And an inquest into the death of Ben Clarkson has been opened and | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
adjourned in York. Ben, who was 22, disappeared on a night out hn the | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
city three weeks ago. His body was identified yesterday, after it was | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
recovered from the River Foss ` where tributes have been left by | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
family and friends. Comedian Jimmy Tarbuck has been | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
released without charge by North Yorkshire Police after he w`s | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
arrested over historic allegations of sexual abuse. The 74`year`old was | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
arrested in April last year as part of the Operation Yewtree | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
investigation. Today it was confirmed that the Crown Prosecution | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Service will not proceed with the case. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
"Broken" ` that's how Cumbrha's Police and Crime Commissiondr has | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
described the prison system. He says massive reforms are needed to ensure | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
people don't become trapped in the cycle of re`offending ` which sees | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
them return to jail time and time again. At a cost of around ?40, 00 | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
per year, per prisoner, he says more taxpayers' money should be spent on | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
projects which help reduce re`offending. Alison Freeman went to | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
visit one of those schemes, in Carlisle. Trust. Something Gary s | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
never been given before ` until he got this work volunteering hn a | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
charity shop. Aged 47, he's been in and out of prison for the p`st 0 | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
years. Addicted to drugs thdn alcohol. I was drinking up to 7 0 | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
units a week. Sometimes I would wake up in the police station. Hhs | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
addiction left him locked in a vicious circle. It is difficult | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
starting over again. You might have been homeless. Things start off | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
hopeless. I used to reoffend to go back to prison. Going back to prison | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
if I was homeless was the e`sier option than being on the street You | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
get your bed and you get clothed. You get your meals. You can get a | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
job in the prison. It was a safer option. Gary is among many who say a | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
lack of support on release can meat falling back into drugs, crhme, and | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
prison again, is inevitable. Until he came here, to Carlisle's Gateway | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
project. Ex`addicts get a room and work, as long as they stay clean. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
Stephen works as a handyman. The 54`year`old's an alcoholic. He's | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
been to prison twice. The sdcond time on purpose. Full. I did not see | :06:29. | :06:53. | |
anywhere else. That was a l`st resort. Gateway have saved ly life. | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
It has been a real lifeline. Without them, I shudder to think whdre I | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
would be. Gateway has just four flats. Last year they could have | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
filled them more than four times over. They are human beings is top | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
we see the massive impact wd have on people. Last went to university | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
Eight people have found employment. The everyday. `` the inspird me | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
every day. Cumbria's Police and Crime commissioner wants a national | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
debate on care for ex`inmatds. It is easy to forget about these people. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
They are saddled with Richard experiences of life, they c`nnot | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
find their way out. All of ts have responsibility to improve that | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
situation. The alternative hs spending years in prison whhch costs | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
?40,000 a year. We are now the vast majority of people when it come out | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
from prison, reoffend within two years so the system is brokdn. At | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
just 32 Phil's spent a total of nine years in prison. A disrupted | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
childhood led to addictions, and stealing to feed those habits. I say | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
prison like a school. I learn new things all the time in prison. It | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
gives me structure. I have been in care and mentor present. And then to | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
prison. He's not been able to get a place at Gateway, but uses their | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
other drop`in groups to turn his life around. Like Gary has. I am | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
volunteering in the shop I `m working in. At one time I could not | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
work behind the till becausd I was just take the money. But I `m | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
getting trusted. It feels good. Alison joins us from our Culbria | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
studio now. Gateway seems a real success story ` but they can't help | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
every ex`offender can they? Now they cannot. They get more referrals than | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
they can provide accommodathon for. We want to find more buildings with | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
more rooms but that costs more money. Despite fund`raising, they | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
still need to find a lot of cash to keep them running each year. Cumbria | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
Police tool does 25% of criles in the county are committed by 65% of | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
the criminals here. Those who serve less than 12 months are mord likely | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
to reoffend. That is people like the men we saw in the film. People that | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
Gateway do the most to help. Thank you for that. | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
And all this week BBC Radio Cumbria is looking at reducing re`offending. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
On tomorrow's Breakfast programme, Mike Zeller will be talking to the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
chaplain at Haverigg prison and the Howard League about how to stop | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
'prison's revolving door'. Plans to re`brand a pub in | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Stockton`on`Tees ` and open it as a "pound pub" ` have angered | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
campaigners and councillors. The new pub ` currently known as Georgia | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Browns ` will sell halves of beer for a pound, and pints for ?1.5 . | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
But it's the promise of "more round for your pound" that's concdrning | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
local councillors, who say ht'll give the town centre the wrong | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
image. Julie Smith reports: Stockton Town centre is undergoing a ?38 | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
million pound refurbishment to promote a new image and help support | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
a quality high`end night`tile economy. | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
But just around the corner hs Georgia Browns ` the pub whhch will | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
soon promote "more round for your pound". But for some that doesn t | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
fit with the new image. We need to promote a healthier image and I | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
don't think cheap drinking hs the right proposal. There is a big push | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
for our night`time economy to be improved. There is even an lusic | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
cafe venue opening up, this is all to improve the quality. When you put | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
the pound drink into that epuation, it takes away from it. We h`ve | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
enough drinking establishments listen `` establishments th`t kind | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
around here. It is too cheap, it will cause fights. The comp`ny are | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
proposing a licence change for the new pub to sell alcohol frol eight | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
o'clock in the morning. Terrible. It's ridiculous. The pubs open long | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
enough to start with. That encourages binge drinking. The pub | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
is owned by Here for You hospitality. They told us they aim | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
to offer a value product to the people of Stockton ` to those who | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
would prefer a working men's club in a previous generation. They say the | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
pub will take part in responsible drinking campaigns and anyone under | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
25 will be challenged for ID. There are rebranding would appear to clash | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
with that of the council. You're watching Look North. Still to | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
come, all the talking points from the weekend's football fixttres | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
plus ` A brush with fame. An Olympic athlete returns to his old school ` | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
but what's with all the toothbrushes? After lots of sunshine | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
today, a different story for tomorrow, cloud and rain. I will be | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
back shortly with the full forecast. We've all heard of sleep walking but | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
what about "sleep`working?" Well that's the name of a new schence | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
fiction film, shot entirely in the North East ` and enjoying | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
considerable success on the international festival circtit. The | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
award`winning short has been shown in places as diverse as Rom`nia | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Puerto Rico and Serbia, but tonight ` for one night only ` it's being | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
shown back home. Here's our Arts reporter, Sharuna Sagar. Ard you | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
struggling with debt, negathve equity low self esteem? My name is | :13:02. | :13:13. | |
Doctor Kate. And I am here to talk to you about an exciting innovation | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
which could provide all the answers... | :13:18. | :13:18. | |
As long you don't mind scientists cutting into your brain. Thhs 1 | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
minute short has captured the imagination of horror buffs. And the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
man who came up with it ` Ndwcastle writer Gavin Williams ` owes it all | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
to a pal he met down a pub. My mate came in and threw himself down and | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
said he was exhausted, he s`id I feel like I have been sleep walking | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
through my work today. A light bulb went off in my brain cos I'l a | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
writer, and from that came this idea about the future where the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
scientists can hack your br`in so you can do menial tasks when you | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
sleep. His idea was turned hnto a film through a Northern Fill and | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Media scheme. The development agency gave Gavin funding and support from | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
industry professionals incltding Newcastle`based film producdr Ed | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
Barratt ` who recently won ` Breakthrough Brit BAFTA for his | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
first feature. It's important he's nurtured through the process as I | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
was. Steps get bigger and challenges get greater. It is vitally hmportant | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
for new talent to become established talent. He has a strong reghonal | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
team around him. Filming took place in Newcastle | :14:35. | :14:46. | |
with a local cast crew. And the special effects came from an up and | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
coming Middlesbrough animathon company. Normally we work on | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
commercial projects and advdrtising. This is very different. It's visual | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
effects for a film. It's very interesting. It leads to sttff like | :14:55. | :15:08. | |
Gravity and avatar. That was the two doing things like that. This is | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
Quite often people go down to London for these things but it is not | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
necessary, it is all here. @nd with the input of all that home`grown | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
talent, Gavin's made what's turned out to be the darling of thd sci`fi | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
and horror film circuit. Thd film was made on a budget of ?10,000 | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
it's been shown at 46 festivals around the world, has won ehght | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
awards. Not bad for a Geordhe sci`fi! This is the first thme I | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
have been able to make something the way I wanted to. I directed and | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
wrote it. Hopefully this is the start of a new career. | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
But first with this cellulohd success, comes an exhausting | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
international screening schddule. And also a rare showing at the | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Tyneside Cinema ` the director's spiritual home. | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
Interesting film ` and we whsh them all the best. Don't doze off now, | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
though ` it's time for Team Talk. Newcastle keep up their slil hopes | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
of Europe, York and Berwick still going for the play`offs ` btt for | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Sunderland, I'm afraid it's not looking good, Dawn? Just ond point | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
from their last four Premier League games ` they've only scored three | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
times in their last seven m`tches ` and today they recalled young | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
striker Connor Wickham from his loan spell at Leeds. He'll go straight | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
into the squad for Wednesdax's game at Liverpool. Where ` on current | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
form ` they'll do well to kdep the score below half a dozen! | :16:32. | :17:24. | |
That is there are six red c`rd of the season. Incredible. Gus Poyet it | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
already sounds like he knows what is coming. We were not tens enough not | :17:35. | :17:47. | |
committed enough. For some reason it is not going four hours. I do not | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
know if it is destiny already. What we will keep trying. We will keep | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
trying. Well, even if Sunderland ardn't | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
helping themselves ` Newcastle did them a favour by beating Crxstal | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
Palace who remain just one place above the Black Cats. But to say | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
they left it late would be `n understatement! Alan Pardew might | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
not have been there as he w`s serving the second of his three | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
stadium bans, but owner Mikd Ashley put in a rare appearance at St | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
James' Park this season. Didn't look like he was enjoying it verx much ` | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
even though Papiss Cisse proved the old adage ` if at first you don t | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
succeed... Try, try again! He has been trying to score since Boxing | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Day. His last goal was almost a year ago against Fulham. Seven g`mes | :18:32. | :18:44. | |
without a goal. John Carver on the phone to a frustrated Alan Pardew no | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
doubt. Another long`range effort which hit the bar. And another myth. | :18:52. | :19:06. | |
Was this a handball? This substitution made a world of | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
difference. A second league goal of the season. John Carver enjoyed it. | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
As if we had planned it Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote features in | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
tonight's Late Kick Off. ! He talks about being capt`in ` in | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Fabriccio Coloccini's absence ` and reckons it's helped him improve his | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
discipline. Yes, really, because before some people said I w`s not | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
disciplined. It is much better in the last few days and I hopd I | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
continue this. That's Late Kick Off, tonight at 11.20 on BBC One which | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
also looks at the role football played during the miners strike in | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Easington, in County Durham, 30 years ago. | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
Now if Newcastle left it late, QPR left it even later at the Rhverside | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
to beat a Middlesbrough teal that so nearly won the Championship game | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
themselves. Yes, Boro are pretty much stuck in mid`table with | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
management duo, Hignett and Karanka already looking to next season. The | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
afternoon started well for Dimi Konstantopolous with this double | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
save. And this rampaging run from George Friend ` with a little bit of | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
good fortune ` helped the home side take the lead. The visitors | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
equalised on the stroke of half`time, thanks to Yossi Benayoun. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
But in second half stoppage time ` moments after Friend had ne`rly won | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
it for Boro ` disaster struck! The ball took a bobble after hitting a | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
plastic bottle top, leaving Rangers striker Bobby Zamora with the | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
simplest of tap`ins. Ravel Lorrison put the icing on the cake, leaving | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Aitor Karanka in disbelief. Carlisle dropped into the League One | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
relegation zone despite a bright start. It was fellow strugglers | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
Notts County who took control of the game at Meadow Lane going into a | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
three goal lead after leading 2`0 at half`time. James Berrett pulled one | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
back but County restored thdir three goal advantage, piling the pressure | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
on Carlisle's home game with relegation rivals Shrewsburx | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
tomorrow. After five wins in a row, York City could be swapping places | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
with the Cumbrians. Michael Coulson's excellent volley took the | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Minstermen into the League Two play`off places. Portsmouth captain | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
Ben Chorley was later sent off for a high challenge on Wes Fletcher. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Hartlepool will be without suspended midfielder Simon Walton, after he | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
was sent off in Friday's defeat at Oxford, one place above York. David | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
Connolly's header 12 minutes from time won it for the home side | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
leaving Pools boss Colin Cooper a frustrated man. From football to | :21:21. | :21:38. | |
rugby union, and Newcastle Falcons remarkably salvaged two bonts points | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
at Gloucester this weekend Dawn And they were valuable as well, as it | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
means they're now 12 points above bottom side Worcester who they play | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
on Sunday. But it was quite incredible, because the Falcons had | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
only scored ten tries in 16 league games up until Saturday ` when they | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
went and scored five! Chris York had crossed the whitewash in thd first | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
half but it wasn't looking good with 20 minutes to go ` Gloucestdr were | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
leading 37`7 at Kingsholm. But talk about never giving up ` first young | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
substitute hooker George McGuigan stormed through for a try that was | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
converted by Joel Hodgson and five minutes later Andy Saull was on the | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
end of an effective rolling maul. Fullback Alex Tait sprinted over to | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
claim the Falcons fourth trx of the game and a bonus point before Noah | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Cato continued the drama with a fifth ` which Hodgson converted | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
superbly from the touchline under tremendous pressure to grab a losing | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
bonus point. Incredibly the Falcons came away with two points ` the only | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
downside was that their young rising star Zach Kibirige was carrhed off | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
with a leg injury ` he could be out for some time. What And herd's | :22:34. | :22:47. | |
another sports story ` that you can really get your teeth into! Children | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
at a Middlesbrough school h`ve received free toothbrushes, thanks | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
to an Olympian, an 85 mile `n hour sledge, and a 13`year`old promise. | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Intrigued? Well, so were we. Martin Forster went along to Ormesby | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Primary School to find out lore Thirteen years ago, John Bahnes was | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
sitting here, at the back of the assembly hall at Ormesby Prhmary | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
School. Last month, he was here sitting at the back of the Great | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
Britain bobsleigh at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. And now, the | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
British Champion was back in his old assembly hall. Partly because of his | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
Olympic achievements, but mostly because of a promise made 13 years | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
ago, by his dentist. 13 years ago, when John was a promising rtnner, | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
his family dentist, Paddy Jones told he'd buy a toothbrush for every | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
child at Ormesby Primary School if he ever made it to the Olympics | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
Today, he made good on his promise. His mum has always kept me | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
up`to`date with what John is doing so it has been a joy to watch his | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
progress. Let's be honest though, it's unlikely that today's high | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
point for the children was the toothbrushes... More the Olxmpian | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
who came to deliver them. I hope today, some of the kids seehng me | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
with the Great Britain helmdt and going to the Olympics, they will be | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
inspired and pursue their dreams. Not just think it was a pipd dream. | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
And were they inspired? Yes they ere. I come down as usual at | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
assembly and I saw him at the main entrance, my hands were swe`ty. I | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
was quite nervous. We're all excited because an Olympian is coming to our | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
school and tell us about how that felt and how many medals he got | :24:23. | :24:49. | |
What a lovely story. We have had a bit of varietx | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
weather`wise over the last few days. Saturday morning was as snow scene | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
for some, thank you for that short of the sheep. Some very frosty | :24:59. | :25:10. | |
nights as well. Temperatures this morning where all, it go down to | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
minus seven in parts of the North. Today, plenty of sunshine after the | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
frost listed. Tomorrow it would be as sunny. A lot more cloud `round. | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
Rainer time for many of us. Wins should be fairly light. Cle`r skies | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
for many. The cloud creeps hn from the west. The odd spot gets east of | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
the Pennines. Much milder than last night. Minus seven last night. A | :25:50. | :26:00. | |
brisk southeasterly winds. The blanket of cloud comes from a | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
weather front which stays whth us tomorrow. It will produce ftrther | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
rain, especially in the West. Daily intermittent in the East. You might | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
see one to brighter spells hn North Yorkshire in the afternoon. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
see one to brighter spells hn Temperatures reach double fhgures. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
The winds are light. That wdather front never reaches the East. It | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
retreats to the West. You c`n see it there. First there's low`prdssure | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
dominates and then is taken over by high pressure from Scandinavia. The | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
result is an easterly winds for the rest of the week. It pushes in some | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
weather fronts so there will be a lot of cloud around. If you are out | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
and about, there will be a fair amount of cloud. Some breaks in the | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
cloud. That easterly winds will make you feel cold. It will feel colder | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
than 10 Celsius. Frost free overnight. More shelter in the | :27:07. | :27:17. | |
easterly winds. A bit more brightness and temperatures and | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
shade higher on Thursday. Kdep your pictures coming, send them to the | :27:24. | :27:37. | |
usual address. Thank you very much. We will see it. | :27:38. | :27:44. |
