:00:00. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to Tuesdax's Look North. Tonight: The new chidf of NHS
:00:10. > :00:12.England spends his first dax in the job here in the north.
:00:13. > :00:14.A new law to help protect pdople from domestic abuse is rolldd out in
:00:15. > :00:17.the north. The Government's new grant scheme
:00:18. > :00:21.for flood victims is launchdd but will it be cold comfort for those
:00:22. > :00:23.whose homes have already bedn wrecked?
:00:24. > :00:25.How major roadworks on a town centre High Street have hit local traders
:00:26. > :00:28.hard. And uncovered. The little gdm found
:00:29. > :00:31.by workers while demolishing an historic North East school.
:00:32. > :00:33.In sport ` we'll look ahead to Durham's defence of cricket's County
:00:34. > :00:36.Championship title. And we'll see how Sunderland's battle agahnst
:00:37. > :00:49.relegation suffered a hammer blow last night, at the Stadium of Light.
:00:50. > :00:52.It's one of the toughest, most controversial jobs in the country.
:00:53. > :00:56.And today, the newly appointed Chief of NHS England decided to spend his
:00:57. > :00:59.very first day in the post, back at the hospital where his NHS career
:01:00. > :01:05.began 26 years ago, here in the North. Simon Stevens has managed
:01:06. > :01:10.health services all over thd world and has been an advisor to the Prime
:01:11. > :01:13.Minister. During his visit to the region, Mr Stevens delivered a
:01:14. > :01:16.speech to the country from the Centre for Life in Newcastld. Our
:01:17. > :01:28.health reporter Sharon Barbour is live there for us now.
:01:29. > :01:32.As you say, Simon Stevens, the new leader at NHS England, came to the
:01:33. > :01:36.north`east to introduce himself to the country and introduce hhs ideas
:01:37. > :01:41.for the future. He came to the Centre for Life when he applauded
:01:42. > :01:47.some amazing medical breakthroughs of the future. He began the day with
:01:48. > :02:00.his past, 26 years ago he w`s a management trainee at this hospital.
:02:01. > :02:05.Today is the first day and this is my first visit on the job. @nd it
:02:06. > :02:09.was here where he chose a vhsit to mark his first day as the ndw chief
:02:10. > :02:12.of NHS England. I am spending my first day back on the job, leeting
:02:13. > :02:16.patients and nurses and doctors here at the hospital where I first
:02:17. > :02:19.from talking to patients th`t the from talking to patients th`t the
:02:20. > :02:23.quality of care is fantastic. Everyone knows the NHS does a great
:02:24. > :02:26.job when you get sick, but H think there's also the realisation that we
:02:27. > :02:30.need to support people bettdr, to help people stay healthy, and that
:02:31. > :02:39.is what we are going to rally behind and put a lot of effort in to.
:02:40. > :02:44.He certainly has come a long way. He was only 21 when he worked hn
:02:45. > :02:50.concert. He is only 47 now, but has come a long way. Today, he gave his
:02:51. > :02:59.first interview to us as thd new leader of the NHS.
:03:00. > :03:02.The amazing thing is that today the children who are being born in NHS
:03:03. > :03:06.hospitals across the countrx, on average one in three of thel are
:03:07. > :03:09.going to celebrate their 100th birthday, so that is a fant`stic
:03:10. > :03:13.achievement. But what it me`ns is that as the country is ageing, as
:03:14. > :03:17.all of us get older, we had to provide services in new ways. We
:03:18. > :03:18.have to provide more care at home, help people stay healthy, not just
:03:19. > :03:22.look after them when they gdt sick. look after them when they gdt
:03:23. > :03:25.You mentioned about living tntil 100. In the north`east, that is not
:03:26. > :03:29.really the case. In areas of really the case. In areas of
:03:30. > :03:32.Sunderland they are going to die 20 years earlier, for instance, than if
:03:33. > :03:38.you were born in Westminster. Are you going to address these
:03:39. > :03:42.inequalities? I spent a part of the day with people in South Shhelds and
:03:43. > :03:46.South Tyneside, hearing abott the work they are doing to get people
:03:47. > :03:48.early health checkups and to give patients more control over their own
:03:49. > :03:53.health, precisely so we can tackle the causes of ill health, not just
:03:54. > :03:58.deal with its consequences. So there is a lot more that can be done, but
:03:59. > :04:01.I think there is real energx between local government and hospit`ls, and
:04:02. > :04:11.GPs and nurses, and patients above all, to get that done, and H think
:04:12. > :04:17.the north`east is leading the way. In his speech here at the cdntre to
:04:18. > :04:24.life in Newcastle, to 200 officials, he talked about some
:04:25. > :04:27.owners ideas. He says he in NHS and believes in a funded NHS and wanted
:04:28. > :04:33.to talk about a new guiding principle. Act like a taxpaxer and
:04:34. > :04:38.think like a patient. He talked about breaking down boundarhes and
:04:39. > :04:47.coordination between A and GPs and nurses. Introducing him was one of
:04:48. > :04:54.the experts here. I think you'll be effective. We saw this evenhng he is
:04:55. > :04:57.eloquent. It is remarkable that somebody who trained as a m`nager in
:04:58. > :05:04.the north`east ends up being a political adviser in London. He is
:05:05. > :05:10.really perfectly correct. You see in NHS in the north`east and how it
:05:11. > :05:15.works. He has handled the politics in London, he has handled the
:05:16. > :05:20.practicality of running a sxstem. He wants the NHS to work. He bdlieves
:05:21. > :05:31.in it and with him at the hdlm we can Paulus out of the fire. `` pull
:05:32. > :05:35.this out. I am sure patients and doctors across the whole region will
:05:36. > :05:45.be watching closely for any change in the hope that any change will be
:05:46. > :05:54.in a very best interests of the patient.
:05:55. > :05:59.It's a new law that's potentially saved 100 lives ` and now it's being
:06:00. > :06:03.rolled out in our region. Clare s Law is named after Clare Wood, who
:06:04. > :06:06.was killed by a former boyfriend, and it allows anyone to check their
:06:07. > :06:09.partner's past with the polhce to find out if they have a history of
:06:10. > :06:12.domestic abuse. Our News Correspondent Peter Harris joins me
:06:13. > :06:16.now. Peter, how does this work? The hope is by allowing people to
:06:17. > :06:19.check their partner's past, they can save themselves from attack later
:06:20. > :06:31.on. First let's hear from a woman who was abused.
:06:32. > :06:41.I was sexy assaulted by two other people. I never told anyone ``
:06:42. > :06:45.sexually assaulted. They told me I could not live like that anx more.
:06:46. > :06:50.If they hadn't taken me in when they had, he would have killed md. So how
:06:51. > :06:55.would Clare's Law help people like her? Well this was set up after a
:06:56. > :07:01.campaign by the father of a woman called Clare Wood, who was strangled
:07:02. > :07:06.by her partner. She did not know yet been jailed twice previouslx for
:07:07. > :07:09.harassing women. If she had she may not have been involved in the
:07:10. > :07:12.relationship in first place. Police forces across our region have
:07:13. > :07:15.adopted it, so you can ask the police if your partner has `ny
:07:16. > :07:21.history of domestic violencd. If you are in a relationship you c`n check
:07:22. > :07:24.your partner's history. Thex stress information would be releasdd in a
:07:25. > :07:27.very targeted way, with gendrally only the person in the relationship
:07:28. > :07:29.being told about it. Friends and family, who might have susphcions,
:07:30. > :07:35.generally can't. There are circumstances where the polhce won't
:07:36. > :07:39.agree to pass on information. We will tell the individual thd
:07:40. > :07:47.information, but the choice as to whether they stay in the
:07:48. > :07:54.relationship is down to the victim. This is a breeze passing on
:07:55. > :07:58.information. Surely, they c`n't just say yes? It is down to the person
:07:59. > :08:04.asking for information. There will be occasions when they won't release
:08:05. > :08:09.it, for example if it is a long time ago. The Home Office reckons the
:08:10. > :08:12.pilot scheme gave potentially life`saving information to 000
:08:13. > :08:15.people. Today in the news is the case of Sarah Gosling from
:08:16. > :08:20.Newcastle, whose partner killed her because she was nagging him. In
:08:21. > :08:28.future it might be possible to identify if your partner is all he
:08:29. > :08:39.or she seems to be. Peter, thank you very much.
:08:40. > :08:43.Two men have been convicted of killing a man at a house on
:08:44. > :08:46.Wearside. John Hall was found dead at Shiney Row on the outskirts of
:08:47. > :08:50.Sunderland. He'd been beaten to death with a baseball bat, had his
:08:51. > :08:54.throat cut and had 20 fracttres to his ribs. Nicholas Rought, who's 45
:08:55. > :08:57.and on the left here, was convicted of murder. Stuart Smith, who's 2,
:08:58. > :09:00.was cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter. The jury
:09:01. > :09:04.heard the killing followed ` grudge that Rought had held against Mr Hall
:09:05. > :09:06.for more than 20 years. Both men will be sentenced at Newcastle Crown
:09:07. > :09:08.Court tomorrow. The coroner in Scarborough has
:09:09. > :09:11.recorded three verdicts of accidental death at an inqudst
:09:12. > :09:15.following a head`on crash in North Yorkshire last November. Thd three
:09:16. > :09:18.victims of the crash ` at Wharram Percy near Pickering ` incltded a
:09:19. > :09:21.mother and her teenage son. They were all Polish people who worked at
:09:22. > :09:30.the Malton bacon factory. They were driving to work early in thd morning
:09:31. > :09:33.when their car collided with a van. York Council may have acted
:09:34. > :09:37.unlawfully ` by issuing mord than ?1 million worth of fines to motorists
:09:38. > :09:39.who drove over Lendal Bridgd and on Coppergate during a controvdrsial
:09:40. > :09:43.traffic trial. One motorist appealed against his fixed penalty notice `
:09:44. > :09:46.and was told by a tribunal that the council had "no power" to issue
:09:47. > :09:55.penalties. The council isn't accepting the decision.
:09:56. > :09:57.Car parking charges have bedn scrapped across much of
:09:58. > :10:00.Northumberland from today. Council`run car parks and on`street
:10:01. > :10:03.bays in Alnwick, Bamburgh, Beadnell, Berwick, Hexham, Morpeth, Rothbury
:10:04. > :10:06.and Wooler will now be free. But charges will continue in Corbridge,
:10:07. > :10:16.Craster, Holy Island, Newton by the Sea and Seahouses.
:10:17. > :10:20.If your home is hit by flooding it can take weeks, even months to
:10:21. > :10:22.recover. But the launch tod`y of the Government's grant scheme for flood
:10:23. > :10:25.victims will hopefully offer some comfort to those whose homes have
:10:26. > :10:29.been wrecked by freak weathdr. People can claim up to ?5000 to help
:10:30. > :10:31.cover future protection for properties. But damage or losses
:10:32. > :10:34.already suffered won't be covered. So it's cold comfort to people
:10:35. > :10:37.living in Port Clarence near Middlesbrough who are still
:10:38. > :10:38.suffering from the effects of flooding last December. Jon`than
:10:39. > :10:42.Swingler reports. In the run up to Christmas ` tidal
:10:43. > :10:45.surge hit this small communhty. April first marks the first day
:10:46. > :10:49.people can apply for a ?5000 grant to protect their property against
:10:50. > :10:53.future flooding. Back in December the water came through here and
:10:54. > :10:56.ended up down at a lot of the houses in Port Clarence. Many of the people
:10:57. > :10:59.we have spoken to here aren't aware of the Government grants th`t have
:11:00. > :11:03.been made available from today. Gillian moved in the day before the
:11:04. > :11:07.water swamped her house. Fotr months on she's one of the lucky ones. Her
:11:08. > :11:11.home is back to normal. I w`s stood at the window and saw the w`ter
:11:12. > :11:16.rushing down the street. I went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea,
:11:17. > :11:19.and the next thing I knew the police were in my house, saying we were
:11:20. > :11:25.being evacuated But others `re still suffering from the impact. Rachael
:11:26. > :11:29.says her home is in a poor state. She wasn't keen to show us `round.
:11:30. > :11:34.She still doesn't have an oven. I have a kettle and a microwave and a
:11:35. > :11:38.small grill. I like cooking, so if I want to do a proper meal, I can t.
:11:39. > :11:42.If I fancy something to eat late at night that I could normally cook in
:11:43. > :11:46.an oven, I either have to w`it until the next day or see if I can use my
:11:47. > :11:50.mum's oven. Stephen showed ts his mum's home. The floor shakes when
:11:51. > :11:53.you walk on it! You walk across and they are literally breaking. You
:11:54. > :11:58.fall through and break throtgh the carpets. How is your mum de`ling
:11:59. > :12:03.with this hole here? She is having to get a plaster board and cover it
:12:04. > :12:07.up, because they have left ` gaping hole. These latest Government grants
:12:08. > :12:19.won't fix the flood damage from last year. Instead, it aims to ddfend
:12:20. > :12:23.homes against future flooding. News now of our new Local Lhve

:12:57. > :13:10.If you have been plagued by those cold skies, the end of the week is
:13:11. > :13:13.looking better. The number of people visiting shops
:13:14. > :13:17.in a West Cumbrian town has fallen by 50% since roadworks began at the
:13:18. > :13:20.beginning of March. And that means profits are also drasticallx down
:13:21. > :13:23.for some traders in Cockermouth The town's Main Street has been shut
:13:24. > :13:29.while work to improve drain`ge is carried out. Alison Freeman reports.
:13:30. > :13:33.Fighting back. Dawn's making sure people know her shop is open. She's
:13:34. > :13:36.one of many traders seeing fewer customers since roadworks took over
:13:37. > :13:45.the centre of Cockermouth at the beginning of the month. We launched
:13:46. > :13:54.five years ago and lost the business to the floods. We launched hn 2 10.
:13:55. > :13:58.Now we have the roadworks to contend with. We want this job over and done
:13:59. > :14:02.with and get the town looking stunning. Main Street is closed
:14:03. > :14:05.while essential drainage works are carried out. It won't be opdned
:14:06. > :14:13.fully until at least August, when the holiday seasons is in ftll

:14:18. > :14:25.are serious works which need to be done. It does have to go ahdad. When
:14:26. > :14:31.would be a good time, I am not so sure. It is a mixed picture. Some
:14:32. > :14:36.people are reporting serious loss of their business. Other peopld are
:14:37. > :14:42.saying it is the same as evdr. Some traders think more should bd done to
:14:43. > :14:47.speed the work up. By putting money in, there is no guarantee the
:14:48. > :14:53.project will finish area. Wd can't stop this work and go away `nd come
:14:54. > :14:59.back in October. We will sthll be here at Christmas time if that is
:15:00. > :15:07.the case. Shoppers can park for free and one shop even uses the workmen
:15:08. > :15:17.to help with advertising. It is a lot quieter than it has been. As
:15:18. > :15:25.come as often as normal. It is quiet. It is like when we h`d the
:15:26. > :15:30.floods in 2009. It is not pttting me off coming here. The roadworks are
:15:31. > :15:34.necessary but there is no doubt they are causing inconvenience for
:15:35. > :15:45.shoppers and traders, but the message from businesses to visitors
:15:46. > :15:47.is clear. A gold and marble altar's bden
:15:48. > :15:51.discovered by demolition workers knocking down an historic school in
:15:52. > :15:54.Newcastle. It was found in the chapel of La Sagesse convent school,
:15:55. > :15:56.which closed five years ago. The altar narrowly escaped the
:15:57. > :16:00.bulldozers having been hidddn away for decades. Dan Farthing rdports.
:16:01. > :16:04.The site has never been short of history. A Catholic Convent, then a
:16:05. > :16:14.prestigious private girls schools school, it was even the homd of the
:16:15. > :16:18.BBC's Tracey Beaker Returns. That's now all in the past as much of this
:16:19. > :16:21.prime slice of real estate hn Jesmond has been sold off to
:16:22. > :16:29.developers and is being bulldozed to make way for luxury homes. But
:16:30. > :16:36.midway through demolition the site is giving up its secrets. I got told
:16:37. > :16:43.to dismantle the altar carefully. As I removed the panel I saw what was
:16:44. > :16:47.inside and it stopped me in my tracks. Why the altar was hhdden
:16:48. > :16:54.away isn't clear, but years in hiding have left the structtre
:16:55. > :17:04.beautifully preserved. I thought we had unearthed a gem. We had people
:17:05. > :17:09.in to take photos of it. Thdy are excited about it, and it is waiting
:17:10. > :17:14.to be taken away. And it was sheer luck that it was discovered before
:17:15. > :17:26.the bulldozers moved in. If it had been knocked down it would have been
:17:27. > :17:32.in pieces. Jeff is here for the sport. Another
:17:33. > :17:35."must`win" game for Sunderl`nd ` and another defeat, which means their
:17:36. > :17:38.seven`year stay in the Premher League looks to be coming to an end.
:17:39. > :17:42.The Black Cats remain four points from safety, after losing 2`1 at
:17:43. > :17:45.home to West Ham ` but they're running out of games. As Dawn
:17:46. > :17:48.Thewlis reports, though, thd head coach isn't throwing in the towel.
:17:49. > :17:51.Sunderland started brightly enough, defender Phil Bardsley sent a shot
:17:52. > :17:55.across the face of the goal in the second minute. But the Black Cats
:17:56. > :17:58.have the worst home record hn the league and it wasn't long bdfore
:17:59. > :18:01.they were behind. Predictably, it was Geordie boy and former Newcastle
:18:02. > :18:05.striker Andy Carroll who got away from his marker to head West Ham in
:18:06. > :18:08.front. Sunderland had an excellent chance to level the score jtst a
:18:09. > :18:11.couple minutes later. Unfortunately it fell to Lee Cattermole, who has
:18:12. > :18:15.never scored for the club. They should have had a chance to score
:18:16. > :18:18.when Kevin Nolan elbowed thd ball in the box, but penalty appeals were
:18:19. > :18:21.ignored by England's top referee, Howard Webb. When West Ham doubled
:18:22. > :18:26.their lead just after the break helped by deflection, the Wdarsiders
:18:27. > :18:29.had a mountain to climb. But Gus Poyet's substitutions had an almost
:18:30. > :18:33.immediate impact when Craig Gardner set up Adam Johnson, whose dight
:18:34. > :18:38.strike of the season put thdm back in the game. Johnson was a catalyst
:18:39. > :18:40.for a spirited fightback, btt although they pressed hard,
:18:41. > :18:45.Sunderland couldn't find thd equaliser, despite five mintte of
:18:46. > :18:49.stoppage time. It was a costly home defeat and one which now le`ves fans
:18:50. > :18:54.fearing the worst. But the lanager is still hoping for the best. If we
:18:55. > :18:58.play like we played against Liverpool and today, in the next
:18:59. > :19:02.eight games we will have a great chance. I need to convince the
:19:03. > :19:07.players that. I need to defdnd the club to them. If they don't, he has
:19:08. > :19:14.made it clear he won't be around next season. If my team givd up I
:19:15. > :19:18.leave. Nobody needs to sack me. I leave on my own. If you see this
:19:19. > :19:28.team giving up before then, you won't see me here. Durham's
:19:29. > :19:31.cricketers will be at Lord's cricketers will be at Lord's
:19:32. > :19:34.tomorrow night, for a speci`l dinner to mark their third County
:19:35. > :19:36.Championship title in six ydars Success has brought more
:19:37. > :19:39.international call`ups, and with several first`teamers having left
:19:40. > :19:42.over the winter, it could bd a tough summer ahead. But that's wh`t the
:19:43. > :19:45.experts were saying last ye`r. Last year they were showering in
:19:46. > :19:48.champagne, as Durham celebr`ted being county cricket's top team yet
:19:49. > :19:52.again. Fast forward a few months, and welcome to an English spring.
:19:53. > :19:55.But the weather shouldn't ptt too much of a damper on their pre`season
:19:56. > :20:04.preparations, even though the squad, and their new head coach, are facing
:20:05. > :20:09.big challenges once again. The expectations weren't great, so we
:20:10. > :20:13.are optimistic and ambitious. It is getting the balance right bdtween
:20:14. > :20:19.ambition and realism. We have lost a lot of players and relying on young
:20:20. > :20:22.people to stand up. After that horror show against Holland in the
:20:23. > :20:25.World T20, skipper Paul Collingwood is now free from his England
:20:26. > :20:29.coaching duties. He's now on his way back to the North East, ahe`d of
:20:30. > :20:31.next week's friendly against the Durham University students. But
:20:32. > :20:34.after being overlooked by the selectors during a disastrots
:20:35. > :20:40.winter, pace bowler Graham Onions must surely be in`line for `n
:20:41. > :20:46.overdue Test match recall? Which wouldn't exactly help the Dtrham
:20:47. > :20:50.cause. I'm old enough and experienced enough to not look too
:20:51. > :20:56.far into the future. Everyone wants to play for England. That is to the
:20:57. > :21:01.youngest man in the squad. Xou want to cement your place in the side and
:21:02. > :21:05.put in match`winning perforlances. And as well as Onions' wickdts, they
:21:06. > :21:11.could do with another 1,000 runs from their new one`day capt`in. It
:21:12. > :21:16.is one of the benchmarks of county cricket for a batsman. It is a case
:21:17. > :21:22.of replicating what I did l`st year. Hopefully every get some good
:21:23. > :21:32.weather up here, that will help towards doing that again. Ah, yes,
:21:33. > :21:35.the weather. Finally, congratulations to gymnast
:21:36. > :21:38.Amy Tinkler from Bishop Auckland who's the new British Junior
:21:39. > :21:41.gymnastics Champion. Amy ` from South Durham Gymnastics Club ` is
:21:42. > :21:44.part of the Great Britain tdam, and the 14`year`old is now lookhng to
:21:45. > :21:47.take part in the European Championships as she contintes her
:21:48. > :21:56.long term aim to compete at the Olympic Games.
:21:57. > :22:08.She is good. I had good intdntions to get out on the bike todax.
:22:09. > :22:20.The weather wasn't good tod`y. The Kielder ospreys have started to
:22:21. > :22:24.arrive back in the north after their long migration, and it's hoped this
:22:25. > :22:25.year will be as successful `s last year. Organisations like
:22:26. > :22:28.Northumbrian Water, the Fordstry Commission and Northumberland
:22:29. > :22:31.Wildlife Trust, along with dedicated volunteers, try to make lifd easier
:22:32. > :22:33.for the ospreys by building nesting platforms in their favouritd
:22:34. > :22:37.locations, while they thrivd on trout from Kielder Water. Btt what
:22:38. > :22:41.is it that attracts them each year from Africa to Northumberland? It's
:22:42. > :22:45.certainly not the weather! Well, I guess you can just `bout see
:22:46. > :22:49.behind me the fabulous amount of water we have here, and of course
:22:50. > :22:52.the water is stocked with fhsh for fishing, That encourages thd
:22:53. > :22:55.ospreys. We have the tree cover the largest forest in England, so that
:22:56. > :22:59.is brilliant for ospreys. Wd also have a number of water sources
:23:00. > :23:02.around, so they go fishing for about 50 miles around the area. Any
:23:03. > :23:05.species re`colonising is brhlliant. The fact they have gone back to
:23:06. > :23:08.Northumberland after 200 ye`rs is fabulous news, and of coursd the
:23:09. > :23:12.visitors really love them, `nd we set up Osprey Watch here and we have
:23:13. > :23:15.cameras around Kielder Castle, so visitors can really see what is
:23:16. > :23:31.going on right in the nest, as the eggs appear and as the chicks hatch.
:23:32. > :23:39.March has gone and the figures for the month are starting to dribble
:23:40. > :23:50.in. In the west of origin it was a bit warmer `` of our region.
:23:51. > :23:58.Contrast that to the eastern regions, it was drier. It h`s been
:23:59. > :24:04.on the mild side today. Clotds filling in again this evening. Most
:24:05. > :24:09.places will stay dry. There is a lot of mist and fog, especially in
:24:10. > :24:15.eastern areas again. It'll be a mild night tonight, temperatures no lower
:24:16. > :24:19.than six degrees bought most of us. Tomorrow morning will start off grey
:24:20. > :24:27.and misty. We will see some rain spread out from the south. Not
:24:28. > :24:32.everywhere will see the rain. Those rain showers could be heavy, and we
:24:33. > :24:37.might see some brighter spells breaking out in parts of Culbria.
:24:38. > :24:44.Perhaps we will see some highs temperatures of 14 Celsius, but
:24:45. > :24:50.again with a wind coming in, it will stay in single figures again. That
:24:51. > :25:00.is the picture for tomorrow. That's cold Brand comes in from thd west on
:25:01. > :25:04.Thursday bringing rain. If that wind has been played in you, you should
:25:05. > :25:10.see a change to come by the end of the week. That win brings r`in to
:25:11. > :25:17.Cumbria. Temperatures stay really mild, and eastern areas shotld see
:25:18. > :25:21.an improving picture as far as grey skies go. Temperatures edging
:25:22. > :25:27.towards the mid teens, 13 Cdlsius is typical by the end of the wdek, and
:25:28. > :25:40.some blue sky as well. Very soon we will announce the winner of our
:25:41. > :25:44.March picture competition. A 12`year`old girl has died after a
:25:45. > :25:47.wall in a PE changing room `t an Edinburgh school collapsed `nd
:25:48. > :25:50.landed on top of her. And the new chief executive of the National
:25:51. > :25:55.Health Service spent his first day at work in the North east ` where he
:25:56. > :26:27.started his career. That is it for tonight.
:26:28. > :26:33.All across the country, millions of families are waking up to a Britain
:26:34. > :26:36.in which they find it harder to get on. Whilst the Government keeps
:26:37. > :26:40.telling people everything is fixed, many are finding that hard work no
:26:41. > :26:45.longer stops the pound in their pocket getting smaller, or the bills
:26:46. > :26:48.getting harder to afford. Under David Cameron, gas and electricity
:26:49. > :26:51.bills have increased by more than ?300 for an average family, whilst
:26:52. > :26:52.the energy companies are making huge
