:00:00. > 3:59:59That's all from us. Don't forget there's a first look at the papers
:00:00. > :00:13.Good evening. over on the BBC News
:00:14. > :00:16.Good evening. An arsonist, who carried out a
:00:17. > :00:20.terrifying, two`year campaign in his home town, has been jailed for life.
:00:21. > :00:26.John Brown, a 48`year`old alcoholic from Keswick, even started fires at
:00:27. > :00:29.the homes of neighbours. Today, a judge at Carlisle Crown Court said:
:00:30. > :00:40.it was "incredible" no`one had been killed. Mark McAlindon reports.
:00:41. > :00:44.This was just one example of John Brown's appalling handiwork. Here
:00:45. > :00:49.are family escaped one night just days before Christmas. Their home
:00:50. > :00:54.ruined. Today, for that and 15 other attacks John Brown will recdive a
:00:55. > :00:59.life sentence. The evidence speaks for itself. We were extremely lucky
:01:00. > :01:04.that no one was seriously injured or killed. If it wasn't for thd fact
:01:05. > :01:08.that members of the public were valiant in their efforts in raising
:01:09. > :01:13.the alarm and taking people out of the burning houses, it may have been
:01:14. > :01:21.a different story. Investig`tors said he was motivated by malice He
:01:22. > :01:25.carried out this arson attacks against those he believed h`d
:01:26. > :01:28.previously wronged him. We presented a case to the jury who saw through
:01:29. > :01:35.his attempts to evade responsibility. One of the lost
:01:36. > :01:39.chilling aspect of his behaviour wasn't only that he was per pair to
:01:40. > :01:44.attack neighbours in this, the same street that he lived on, but on one
:01:45. > :01:49.occasion he posed as a hero and help to rescue a lady from a fird that he
:01:50. > :01:59.had started. On one occasion, teenage boy found his home `light,
:02:00. > :02:04.and John was outside drinking a cup of tea. The judge told Brown that he
:02:05. > :02:07.must serve a substantial service this
:02:08. > :02:19.The container ship MV Danio ploughed into the Farnes last year, because
:02:20. > :02:24.all of its crew of six were fast asleep. There had been no`one
:02:25. > :02:27.keeping look out for an hour and a half. This "shocking failurd to
:02:28. > :02:30.comply with the regulations" was the reason the huge ship ran aground.
:02:31. > :02:34.Today, a Crown Court judge ordered the company responsible to pay more
:02:35. > :02:40.than ?70,000 in fines and costs Dan Farthing reports.
:02:41. > :02:46.The Danio, carrying timber from Scotland to Belgium, should have two
:02:47. > :02:51.men on the bridge and awake at all times. But after midnight on the
:02:52. > :02:55.first day of its voyage south, the captain went to bed and left his
:02:56. > :03:00.first mate, who'd taken a cocktail of medicines, in charge. He nodded
:03:01. > :03:09.off somewhere north of Berwhck and the rest is history. They are
:03:10. > :03:13.professionals, they should have known better. They should h`ve had
:03:14. > :03:17.better systems in place. Last year, the BBC's Inside Out team tracked
:03:18. > :03:20.down the ship's owner to Poland where the vessel was sent for
:03:21. > :03:24.repair. He was quick to blale the captain who he said had turned off
:03:25. > :03:27.the watch alarm system, a sort of ship's dead man's handle, and also
:03:28. > :03:34.his first mate who fell asldep at the helm. At sea, there is ` risk
:03:35. > :03:38.because sometimes there is nothing to do for minutes, everything runs
:03:39. > :03:49.on automatic, you just sit, this is comfortable, look out fall `sleep.
:03:50. > :03:51.They have to make sure the vessel is being run properly and with
:03:52. > :03:53.legislation. They should have systems to make sure that is
:03:54. > :03:56.happening and in this case ht wasn't. Cuxship Management, the
:03:57. > :03:59.German operators of the Danho, admitted failing to keep a look out
:04:00. > :04:07.and failing to have a recognised safety management system. If their
:04:08. > :04:12.mystery island, they could have gone on and struck other vessels, there
:04:13. > :04:16.are sufficient boats going out. `` if they had missed that isl`nd. It
:04:17. > :04:23.is perhaps fortunate that they ended up where they did.
:04:24. > :04:25.Henshaws Society for Blind People in Harrogate has confirmed it will be
:04:26. > :04:28.investigating historic allegations of child sex abuse by Jimmy Savile.
:04:29. > :04:32.Henshaws says the allegations date back to the former school in
:04:33. > :04:37.Harrogate, which is now a college. It says it'll provide what dvidence
:04:38. > :04:41.it can, to the inquiry. In 2011, a whale was stranddd on
:04:42. > :04:45.Redcar beach. Sadly, despitd attempts to save the animal, it
:04:46. > :04:50.died. But today, some of it went on display in the town. Jonath`n
:04:51. > :04:54.Swingler has the story. It was an amazing sight for the
:04:55. > :05:03.people of Redcar. The sperm whale was believed to have weighed 35
:05:04. > :05:08.tonnes. But it didn't survive. A postmortem revealed it had died from
:05:09. > :05:12.dehydration and starvation. People here remember the efforts that were
:05:13. > :05:16.made to try and rescue it. H was phoned to say there was a whale on
:05:17. > :05:20.the beach. I jumped in the car and raced down here. We thought it may
:05:21. > :05:28.be a small whale, but it was too big.
:05:29. > :05:33.Today saw the unveiling of ` permanent reminder of what happened.
:05:34. > :05:41.The whale's jaw bone is now on display at the Zetland Lifeboat
:05:42. > :05:50.Museum. We keep it behind lock and key because it is valuable. We need
:05:51. > :05:55.to keep it safe. When the tdeth were rescued, they had to be burhed in a
:05:56. > :06:02.mixture of peat and sand for a couple of years. We then took some
:06:03. > :06:05.advice from a museum in Massachusetts, they gave us a
:06:06. > :06:12.formula that it needed to bd immersed in. It has taken the grease
:06:13. > :06:15.out of the bones. It's hoped the exhibit will attract people to
:06:16. > :06:20.Redcar. For some there's mixed emotions. It is happy to brhng
:06:21. > :06:23.people to the area, but bec`use it died in front of you it is never a
:06:24. > :06:30.good thing. Jonathan Swingldr, BBC Look North, Redcar.
:06:31. > :06:37.That's it for now, so it's good night from me. Paul has the weather
:06:38. > :06:44.outlook now. Quite a few cr`shes and bangs and hailstones Ali. Lots of
:06:45. > :06:50.cloud around and outbreaks of rain. Edging northwards at little bit of
:06:51. > :06:53.sleet and snow. With the bl`nket of cloud, it will stay frost free with
:06:54. > :06:57.temperatures no lower than for Celsius in the easterly wind. A cold
:06:58. > :07:03.easterly wind, a lot of clotd around. Outbreaks of rain for most
:07:04. > :07:07.of us from time to time. Sole dry interludes. Maybe some brightness in
:07:08. > :07:10.West Cumbria and that is whdre we will probably see the highest
:07:11. > :07:16.temperatures, an agency 10 Celsius in Whitehaven. More like seven
:07:17. > :07:20.Celsius along many parts of the north`east. Most places seehng some
:07:21. > :07:24.rain again tomorrow. For thd weekend, had different storx, a
:07:25. > :07:28.southeasterly wind, so some shelter, Penrith or Harrogate could see
:07:29. > :07:32.bright spells and temperatures up`to`the`minute teens. Clotdy but
:07:33. > :07:34.cool elsewhere. Nick Miller will have a full national forecast.
:07:35. > :07:46.Hello, as winter becomes spring the atmosphere contains more energy The
:07:47. > :07:50.shower clouds grow taller. If conditions are right, you get
