Hello, good evening. have a second baby. End of story.

:00:07.:00:08.

Hello, good evening. Some of the biggest names in British

:00:09.:00:12.

cycling have been competing in our region this weekend. The

:00:13.:00:15.

Northumbrian Water Tour of the Derwent Reservoir was upgraded to

:00:16.:00:18.

elite status, and, as Andrew Hartley reports, the route was as tdsting as

:00:19.:00:21.

anything the Tour de France riders will face in Yorkshire.

:00:22.:00:26.

Not a typical Sunday morning in this sleepy village. An elite cycle race

:00:27.:00:31.

had brought bedlam to Blanchland, the starting point for the second

:00:32.:00:35.

day of racing on the Tour of the Reservoir. We create havoc for a

:00:36.:00:42.

couple of days, but it brings a huge amount of wealth into all the local

:00:43.:00:45.

hotels, bed and breakfasts, what it does for the area is tremendous for

:00:46.:00:53.

tourism. After 77 miles yesterday, ahead of the cyclists today, 10

:00:54.:00:56.

miles around the board of Northumberland and Durham.

:00:57.:01:00.

What makes this course challenging for these cyclists isn't thd

:01:01.:01:08.

distance, it is the conditions. It is not just very hilly, it hs also

:01:09.:01:15.

extremely windy. Among the racers, Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy, he

:01:16.:01:19.

is a track specialist, so hd was never a podium contender in a road

:01:20.:01:27.

race. This is the groundwork, aerobic fitness, from which I will

:01:28.:01:30.

build speed on the track whhch hopefully I can bring to thd

:01:31.:01:34.

Commonwealth Games. The racd, eight laps of the reservoir, it is halted

:01:35.:01:38.

for 20 minutes after a crash left one rider with head injuries. `` was

:01:39.:01:45.

halted. He was taken to hospital with concussion. The stage was won

:01:46.:01:49.

by the same man who was first across the line last year. The wind has

:01:50.:01:58.

made it hard all day. You h`d to fight it all day and stay ndar the

:01:59.:02:02.

front. If you got in the wrong place for a second, it could be g`me over.

:02:03.:02:06.

A woman's been seriously injured after two diggers fell from the back

:02:07.:02:10.

of a lorry, and hit a car on South Tyneside. `` critically ill. It s

:02:11.:02:13.

thought the diggers clipped the underside of the Metro rail bridge

:02:14.:02:16.

on the A194 at Fellgate near Jarrow this morning. The Metro service

:02:17.:02:20.

between Pelaw and Brockley Whins was suspended, but is now running again.

:02:21.:02:26.

The family of the missing Tdeside student, Matthew Jordan, have

:02:27.:02:29.

appealed for help to pay for specialist deep water search

:02:30.:02:32.

equipment. Huge volunteer sdarches have continued this weekend after

:02:33.:02:34.

his disappearance more than a fortnight ago. But his relatives say

:02:35.:02:40.

they want to rule out the possibility that the 20`year`old

:02:41.:02:42.

fell into Windermere after ` night out with friends in Bowness.

:02:43.:02:55.

Just to speed the process up, to eliminate the possibility that

:02:56.:02:58.

Matthew is in there. We can concentrate on the land unddrgo

:02:59.:03:01.

further afield and and find Matthew. Labour's promising to give 06 and

:03:02.:03:05.

17`year`olds the vote if thd party wins power next year. Shadow

:03:06.:03:10.

Minister and Tyneside MP Chh Onwurah told the BBC's Sunday Polithcs that

:03:11.:03:13.

young people deserve the ch`nce to have their say. It follows the

:03:14.:03:16.

decision to allow the age group to take part in September's referendum

:03:17.:03:22.

on Scottish independence. They can pay taxes, they can work at that

:03:23.:03:26.

age, so they deserve, I think, they have good, articulate voices, and

:03:27.:03:30.

there deserve the right to dxpress them. `` they deserve. The Coalition

:03:31.:03:35.

Government says it has no plans to lower the voting age.

:03:36.:03:38.

My personal view is that it is too young. You're not allowed bx alcohol

:03:39.:03:42.

at that age, cigarettes, and I think it is too young to be voting.

:03:43.:03:45.

In cricket, Durham began thd defence of their County Championship title

:03:46.:03:48.

away at Division One newcomdrs, Northants. Durham won the toss and

:03:49.:03:52.

elected to bat. By the end of play the hosts, were 265 for fivd.

:03:53.:03:55.

Yorkshire got their campaign underway at Taunton where Somerset

:03:56.:04:00.

decided to put the visitors in. By the close, Yorkshire were 342 for

:04:01.:04:02.

five. And the Newcastle Eagles have won

:04:03.:04:05.

the BBL Championship after beating Surrey United 106`58. It follows

:04:06.:04:09.

their first victory of the weekend over the Birmingham Knights

:04:10.:04:14.

yesterday. The wins secure their sixth Championship title in nine

:04:15.:04:20.

seasons. In tomorrow's Late Kick Off

:04:21.:04:23.

programme, almost 25 five ydars since they won the FA Sundax Cup,

:04:24.:04:26.

Sunderland team Humbledon Plains Farm, are preparing for the final

:04:27.:04:28.

again. We've a special report on the Sunday

:04:29.:04:32.

league side who travel to Ewood Park in a fortnight's time to take on

:04:33.:04:36.

Merseyside's Oyster Martyrs. Humbledon's manager is confhdent. I

:04:37.:04:43.

have always known that we'vd got a good team and I know they are good

:04:44.:04:48.

enough to win the competition. Come on up to the games, you wonder if

:04:49.:04:52.

they will perform on the dax and if they will have injuries or `nything,

:04:53.:04:55.

or when you travel down the road. And the show also has a feature on

:04:56.:04:58.

Sunderland centre half Carlos Cuellar. That's on BBC One tomorrow

:04:59.:05:03.

night at 11:25pm. Time for the region's weather forecast now with

:05:04.:05:05.

Jennifer Bartram. For many, it was a lovely d`y, we've

:05:06.:05:11.

had decent spells of sunshine and as we head into the night it whll be

:05:12.:05:15.

mostly dry with some clear spells. We do have showers to get ott of the

:05:16.:05:19.

way first of all, but through the night it should be largely dry.

:05:20.:05:22.

Under the clear skies, the temperature should drop awax to get

:05:23.:05:27.

to five or six Celsius. That breeze still strong from the West. As we

:05:28.:05:31.

start Monday morning, it is looking like a decent start to the day,

:05:32.:05:35.

bright start, but dry from the word go with lengthy spells of stnshine.

:05:36.:05:39.

Just the chance of the odd hsolated shower here or there. Temperatures

:05:40.:05:43.

getting up to a high of 12 or 1 Celsius. It will be a cold night,

:05:44.:05:49.

Monday into Tuesday, we will see some patchy frost, but Tuesday is

:05:50.:05:53.

looking dry and bright with highs of 14 Celsius.

:05:54.:05:55.

And that's it so far. We're back with an update here at 9:45pm. Have

:05:56.:06:00.

a good evening. We got to 17 degrees in the sunshine

:06:01.:06:17.

in London and many places enjoyed a pleasant day. A different story for

:06:18.:06:21.

the zero wherein was quite wet and windy. You can see that cloud is

:06:22.:06:27.

moving south. Things do improve across Scotland. Showers become

:06:28.:06:31.

confined to the far north and the winds ease

:06:32.:06:32.
