:00:00. > :00:14.Good evening. And I'll be back with
:00:15. > :00:18.Good evening. In his first BBC interview since
:00:19. > :00:21.being freed on bail from an Indian jail, a former British soldher has
:00:22. > :00:25.told the BBC he has been ovdrwhelmed by the support he has received. Nick
:00:26. > :00:27.Dunn, of Ashington, was amongst a group of six men working on a
:00:28. > :00:40.private, US`owned anti`piracy support vessel when they were
:00:41. > :00:48.arrested last October. Of a being released was an amazing feeling I
:00:49. > :00:54.am very happy now that I know I am free. I have lost quite a lot of
:00:55. > :01:02.weight. But to be finally sleeping in a bid is great. Also, thd support
:01:03. > :01:08.from back home is really overwhelming. But it is not over
:01:09. > :01:11.yet. Hopefully, in the weeks to come it should come to a close and I can
:01:12. > :01:14.get back to my family. A Liberal Democrat Peer has launched
:01:15. > :01:17.a fierce attack upon Labour`run councils in the North East. Lord
:01:18. > :01:20.Wrigglesworth accused them of damaging the region by conthnual
:01:21. > :01:23."squabbling". He told the BBC's Sunday Politics that the setting up
:01:24. > :01:26.of a new combined authority, in which seven local councils work
:01:27. > :01:35.together on economic issues, had been beset with arguments. Our
:01:36. > :01:41.greatest problem has been otrselves. The lack of unity that we h`ve seen
:01:42. > :01:47.in recent months between thd local authorities in the region for the
:01:48. > :01:53.establishment of a combined authority for the North East, with
:01:54. > :01:56.tonnes of money and power is coming from the government, and we have
:01:57. > :01:58.seen is squabbling between the Labour authorities.
:01:59. > :02:01.The MP for Wansbeck, Ian Lavery denied that Labour councils were
:02:02. > :02:04.arguing between themselves `nd said it was important for them to protect
:02:05. > :02:13.the interests of the local communities they represent. Each
:02:14. > :02:19.individual authority are eldcted to represent their own communities It
:02:20. > :02:22.was not squabbling. It was individual authorities insisting
:02:23. > :02:27.that before the deal was done, everybody should be considered as
:02:28. > :02:28.equal in the combined authority That is very important for this to
:02:29. > :02:31.succeed. Bikers who speed on North
:02:32. > :02:34.Yorkshire's roads were given a reality check today, with words of
:02:35. > :02:38.warning given by a Special Constable who lost her own father in ` bike
:02:39. > :02:41.collision. The police held ` safety road show in the heart of bhker
:02:42. > :02:51.country, hoping to reduce the high number of deaths and injurids on the
:02:52. > :02:56.county's roads. I was off dtty riding my own bike and the raider
:02:57. > :03:01.was killed. If that was not enough of a warning, special const`ble
:03:02. > :03:09.Jayna was on hand to tell hdr story. My personal site is losing ly dad
:03:10. > :03:13.when I was 13 years old in ` motorcycle accident. He was out
:03:14. > :03:20.riding with his friends in the evening. I was supposed to be the
:03:21. > :03:24.back of a bike evening. So, please drive safely. I do not want anyone
:03:25. > :03:30.else to go through the same thing I went through. There are manx
:03:31. > :03:34.potentially dangerous stretches of road and the police have bedn
:03:35. > :03:43.highlighting it. 15 people died last year. The roads in North Yorkshire,
:03:44. > :03:53.there are a lot of hazards on the road. If you go round the bdnd, you
:03:54. > :04:03.sometimes come up against the likes of sheep. That is the reality. Can
:04:04. > :04:12.reach speeds far more in excess of that of a normal family car. The
:04:13. > :04:16.police have been giving advhce that if you take risks, you could end up
:04:17. > :04:19.in court, the hospital or at worst in the mortuary.
:04:20. > :04:22.Looking ahead to our Late Khck Off programme tomorrow, almost ` year

:04:26. > :04:29.Cooper has been explaining why he has been doing the job alond. He
:04:30. > :04:32.joined the club, along with Craig Hignett, last May, but earlher this
:04:33. > :04:35.year, Hignett moved to Middlesbrough as assistant manager. Cooper says he
:04:36. > :04:46.will eventually bring in his own assistant boss. The timing of it was
:04:47. > :04:51.not ideal. We had put things in place, but Craig had the opportunity
:04:52. > :04:56.to go back to a club we both have a lot of contact with. That whll not
:04:57. > :05:00.ruin my relationship with K`te. More on that tomorrow night on BBC
:05:01. > :05:03.One and if you have a questhon about the weekend's football action for

:06:12. > :06:16.weekend, a fresher week in store for the week ahead. Moreshine at times
:06:17. > :06:20.but not a huge amount tomorrow because that's shaping up to be a
