:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, good evening. have a second baby. End of story.
:00:09. > :00:12.Hello, good evening. Some of the biggest names in British
:00:13. > :00:15.cycling have been competing in our region this weekend. The
:00:16. > :00:18.Northumbrian Water Tour of the Derwent Reservoir was upgraded to
:00:19. > :00:21.elite status, and, as Andrew Hartley reports, the route was as tdsting as
:00:22. > :00:26.anything the Tour de France riders will face in Yorkshire.
:00:27. > :00:31.Not a typical Sunday morning in this sleepy village. An elite cycle race
:00:32. > :00:35.had brought bedlam to Blanchland, the starting point for the second
:00:36. > :00:42.day of racing on the Tour of the Reservoir. We create havoc for a
:00:43. > :00:45.couple of days, but it brings a huge amount of wealth into all the local
:00:46. > :00:53.hotels, bed and breakfasts, what it does for the area is tremendous for
:00:54. > :00:56.tourism. After 77 miles yesterday, ahead of the cyclists today, 10
:00:57. > :01:00.miles around the board of Northumberland and Durham.
:01:01. > :01:08.What makes this course challenging for these cyclists isn't thd
:01:09. > :01:15.distance, it is the conditions. It is not just very hilly, it hs also
:01:16. > :01:19.extremely windy. Among the racers, Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy, he
:01:20. > :01:27.is a track specialist, so hd was never a podium contender in a road
:01:28. > :01:30.race. This is the groundwork, aerobic fitness, from which I will
:01:31. > :01:34.build speed on the track whhch hopefully I can bring to thd
:01:35. > :01:38.Commonwealth Games. The racd, eight laps of the reservoir, it is halted
:01:39. > :01:45.for 20 minutes after a crash left one rider with head injuries. `` was
:01:46. > :01:49.halted. He was taken to hospital with concussion. The stage was won
:01:50. > :01:58.by the same man who was first across the line last year. The wind has
:01:59. > :02:02.made it hard all day. You h`d to fight it all day and stay ndar the
:02:03. > :02:06.front. If you got in the wrong place for a second, it could be g`me over.
:02:07. > :02:10.A woman's been seriously injured after two diggers fell from the back
:02:11. > :02:13.of a lorry, and hit a car on South Tyneside. `` critically ill. It s
:02:14. > :02:16.thought the diggers clipped the underside of the Metro rail bridge
:02:17. > :02:20.on the A194 at Fellgate near Jarrow this morning. The Metro service
:02:21. > :02:26.between Pelaw and Brockley Whins was suspended, but is now running again.
:02:27. > :02:29.The family of the missing Tdeside student, Matthew Jordan, have
:02:30. > :02:32.appealed for help to pay for specialist deep water search
:02:33. > :02:34.equipment. Huge volunteer sdarches have continued this weekend after
:02:35. > :02:40.his disappearance more than a fortnight ago. But his relatives say
:02:41. > :02:42.they want to rule out the possibility that the 20`year`old
:02:43. > :02:55.fell into Windermere after ` night out with friends in Bowness.
:02:56. > :02:58.Just to speed the process up, to eliminate the possibility that
:02:59. > :03:01.Matthew is in there. We can concentrate on the land unddrgo
:03:02. > :03:05.further afield and and find Matthew. Labour's promising to give 06 and
:03:06. > :03:10.17`year`olds the vote if thd party wins power next year. Shadow
:03:11. > :03:13.Minister and Tyneside MP Chh Onwurah told the BBC's Sunday Polithcs that
:03:14. > :03:16.young people deserve the ch`nce to have their say. It follows the
:03:17. > :03:22.decision to allow the age group to take part in September's referendum
:03:23. > :03:26.on Scottish independence. They can pay taxes, they can work at that
:03:27. > :03:30.age, so they deserve, I think, they have good, articulate voices, and
:03:31. > :03:35.there deserve the right to dxpress them. `` they deserve. The Coalition
:03:36. > :03:38.Government says it has no plans to lower the voting age.
:03:39. > :03:42.My personal view is that it is too young. You're not allowed bx alcohol
:03:43. > :03:45.at that age, cigarettes, and I think it is too young to be voting.
:03:46. > :03:48.In cricket, Durham began thd defence of their County Championship title
:03:49. > :03:52.away at Division One newcomdrs, Northants. Durham won the toss and
:03:53. > :03:55.elected to bat. By the end of play the hosts, were 265 for fivd.
:03:56. > :04:00.Yorkshire got their campaign underway at Taunton where Somerset
:04:01. > :04:02.decided to put the visitors in. By the close, Yorkshire were 342 for
:04:03. > :04:05.five. And the Newcastle Eagles have won
:04:06. > :04:09.the BBL Championship after beating Surrey United 106`58. It follows
:04:10. > :04:14.their first victory of the weekend over the Birmingham Knights
:04:15. > :04:20.yesterday. The wins secure their sixth Championship title in nine
:04:21. > :04:23.seasons. In tomorrow's Late Kick Off
:04:24. > :04:26.programme, almost 25 five ydars since they won the FA Sundax Cup,
:04:27. > :04:28.Sunderland team Humbledon Plains Farm, are preparing for the final
:04:29. > :04:32.again. We've a special report on the Sunday
:04:33. > :04:36.league side who travel to Ewood Park in a fortnight's time to take on
:04:37. > :04:43.Merseyside's Oyster Martyrs. Humbledon's manager is confhdent. I
:04:44. > :04:48.have always known that we'vd got a good team and I know they are good
:04:49. > :04:52.enough to win the competition. Come on up to the games, you wonder if
:04:53. > :04:55.they will perform on the dax and if they will have injuries or `nything,
:04:56. > :04:58.or when you travel down the road. And the show also has a feature on
:04:59. > :05:03.Sunderland centre half Carlos Cuellar. That's on BBC One tomorrow
:05:04. > :05:05.night at 11:25pm. Time for the region's weather forecast now with
:05:06. > :05:11.Jennifer Bartram. For many, it was a lovely d`y, we've
:05:12. > :05:15.had decent spells of sunshine and as we head into the night it whll be
:05:16. > :05:19.mostly dry with some clear spells. We do have showers to get ott of the
:05:20. > :05:22.way first of all, but through the night it should be largely dry.
:05:23. > :05:27.Under the clear skies, the temperature should drop awax to get
:05:28. > :05:31.to five or six Celsius. That breeze still strong from the West. As we
:05:32. > :05:35.start Monday morning, it is looking like a decent start to the day,
:05:36. > :05:39.bright start, but dry from the word go with lengthy spells of stnshine.
:05:40. > :05:43.Just the chance of the odd hsolated shower here or there. Temperatures
:05:44. > :05:49.getting up to a high of 12 or 1 Celsius. It will be a cold night,
:05:50. > :05:53.Monday into Tuesday, we will see some patchy frost, but Tuesday is
:05:54. > :05:55.looking dry and bright with highs of 14 Celsius.
:05:56. > :06:00.And that's it so far. We're back with an update here at 9:45pm. Have
:06:01. > :06:17.a good evening. We got to 17 degrees in the sunshine
:06:18. > :06:21.in London and many places enjoyed a pleasant day. A different story for
:06:22. > :06:27.the zero wherein was quite wet and windy. You can see that cloud is
:06:28. > :06:31.moving south. Things do improve across Scotland. Showers become
:06:32. > :06:32.confined to the far north and the winds ease
