:00:14. > :00:16.buy the Lake District mountain Blencathra have held their first

:00:17. > :00:20.public meeting. The iconic peak is up for sale because its aristocratic

:00:21. > :00:29.owner faces a large tax bill. Many locals want to buy it and hold it in

:00:30. > :00:34.trust. Mark McAlindon reports. Within days of launching, the

:00:35. > :00:37.Friends of Blencathra group has already won the support of

:00:38. > :00:41.thousands. The question is how best to harness that support and raise

:00:42. > :00:46.the close on ?2 million to buy Blencathra from Lord Lonsdale. Hence

:00:47. > :00:50.this afternoon's meeting. We want to take it into Max stages. We need to

:00:51. > :00:54.buy that mountain for everybody and then we need to look at long`term

:00:55. > :00:59.future of that mountain. This is not a one trick pony, we have to think

:01:00. > :01:02.about what is great happen in the next 400, 800 years. It's a race

:01:03. > :01:06.against time for these campaigners. Bids must be in by July second. Many

:01:07. > :01:10.have different ideas about how to raise money, how best to use it and

:01:11. > :01:14.what to do if they should be successful. What they do have in

:01:15. > :01:17.common though is a love for this most distinctive Lakeland mountain.

:01:18. > :01:20.I was doing an interview in a pub the other day and somebody offered

:01:21. > :01:23.me ?1000 they are and then. We were walking up the mountain this

:01:24. > :01:30.morning. People stopped and offered me money there. Websites and

:01:31. > :01:36.e`mails, being inundated with, how can we donate? Every direction,

:01:37. > :01:38.people are offering. Not just now but long term which is the important

:01:39. > :01:41.thing. Thousands of children, grandparents,

:01:42. > :01:44.and mums and dads have been battling their way around a muddy running

:01:45. > :01:49.track at Newcastle Racecourse to throw their support behind the 32nd

:01:50. > :01:52.Children's Cancer Run. It's an event which has, over the years, raised

:01:53. > :01:57.nearly ?6.5 million for North East Research into cancers in children.

:01:58. > :02:00.Starting one of the races today was 15`year`old Kieran Maxwell, who lost

:02:01. > :02:09.his left leg to cancer, but still went on to complete the mini run on

:02:10. > :02:16.his prosthetic running blade. It makes me happy that some people know

:02:17. > :02:22.it is out there, and care about it, not just say, oh, no, they can do it

:02:23. > :02:25.themselves. It has got nothing to do with us. How many people are here

:02:26. > :02:29.today, it is amazing. Football, and it was the final day

:02:30. > :02:32.of the Premier League. Both Newcastle and Sunderland were safe.

:02:33. > :02:36.Good job really as both lost. The Black Cats were at home to Swansea

:02:37. > :02:39.but were beaten 3`1 at the Stadium of Light. The Wearsiders' only goal

:02:40. > :02:41.came from Fabio Borini after 50 minutes. Newcastle, meanwhile, were

:02:42. > :02:44.at title`chasing Liverpool. The Magpies did lead at half time

:02:45. > :02:51.through an own goal from Martin Skrtel. But the Reds got two back

:02:52. > :02:55.after the break and it ended 2`1. All the action in Match of the Day

:02:56. > :02:58.tonight on BBC One at 10.25pm after our late Look North.

:02:59. > :03:01.The first leg of York City's League Two play`off semifinal against

:03:02. > :03:04.Fleetwood was called off last night because of a waterlogged pitch at

:03:05. > :03:07.Bootham Crescent. Supporters have been told their tickets will be

:03:08. > :03:12.valid for the rearranged game tomorrow night.

:03:13. > :03:16.Well, they'd hoped to become our region's latest Wembley heroes but

:03:17. > :03:19.it all ended in heartbreak for the footballers of West Auckland. Today

:03:20. > :03:23.fans and the team were back home in County Durham after their brave run

:03:24. > :03:34.to the final of the FA Vase ended in a 1`0 defeat to south coast team

:03:35. > :03:39.Sholing. Peter Harris was there. High spirits pre`match. But the

:03:40. > :03:48.hundreds from the north`east were expecting glory. 10`0. Don't know.

:03:49. > :03:53.They will have a great time. We will have a wild night, I would have

:03:54. > :03:59.thought, I hope. West Auckland had an early chance to take the lead,

:04:00. > :04:07.and Schilling's keeper was destined to be the man of the match. Marvin

:04:08. > :04:13.McLean's wickedly did `` deflected shot gave them the lead. The game

:04:14. > :04:19.was almost savaged but `` salvaged but it was not to be. Disappointed

:04:20. > :04:23.with the result, disappointed we did not win it. Not disappointed with

:04:24. > :04:29.the performance. The vast majority of the lads performed. You do not

:04:30. > :04:35.always get what you deserve. We deserved to win. Even though it ends

:04:36. > :04:44.in heartbreak with West Auckland, a region's winning run in the FA Vase

:04:45. > :04:48.comes to an end. Basketball, and Newcastle Eagles

:04:49. > :04:50.have lost the BBL play off final at Wembley Arena this afternoon. Fab

:04:51. > :04:55.Flournoy's men were beaten by Worcester Wolves 90`78. The Eagles

:04:56. > :04:59.have already won this year's League Championship and had been hoping for

:05:00. > :05:03.their second piece of silverware. Cricket, and at Hove, Durham had a

:05:04. > :05:07.long day in the field as Sussex notched`up 431`5. And at Headingley,

:05:08. > :05:17.Yorkshire were put into bat by Warwickshire. They finished the day

:05:18. > :05:20.on 294`6. `` 310`8. Joe Root was the pick of the batsmen, scoring 69.

:05:21. > :05:22.And well done to everyone who took part. To the weather now. Here's

:05:23. > :05:28.Jennifer Bartram. part. To the weather now. Here's

:05:29. > :05:30.Good evening. Unsettled as we go through this evening and overnight,

:05:31. > :05:38.share feeding in from the North West. They will become a bit lighter

:05:39. > :05:41.overnight. Fairly cloudy, which will mean the temperatures will not fall

:05:42. > :05:46.down to law. Some sunny spells through Monday, but once again the

:05:47. > :05:49.showers will be fairly potent. Slow`moving showers with some hail

:05:50. > :05:54.and thunder in places. Temperatures up to 11 degrees. It looks like it

:05:55. > :05:58.is quick to settle down by midweek. And that's all for now. There's more

:05:59. > :06:06.from me at 10.15pm tonight here on BBC One.

:06:07. > :06:13.Good evening. We have still got some very heavy showers out there. For

:06:14. > :06:16.ors we are finishing the day on a more positive note. Clearer skies to

:06:17. > :06:23.the south indicating sunshine but the cloud still streaming in further

:06:24. > :06:25.north. Tomorrow's forecast brings a similar mixture, sunshine and

:06:26. > :06:29.showers although the winds will start to be lighter. That process

:06:30. > :06:32.begins through the night tonight. A shattering of showers still

:06:33. > :06:35.possible. Clearer skies across northern Scotland probably our

:06:36. > :06:39.lowest temperatures here. For many temperatures will begin Monday

:06:40. > :06:44.morning at around 8 or 9 degrees already with a few showers around. I

:06:45. > :06:48.think be drier spells in between, as with the nature of showers, they are

:06:49. > :06:54.not everywhere all of the time. Cloudy with brighter spells mixed in

:06:55. > :06:57.across parts of northern England and southern Scotland already with the

:06:58. > :06:59.potential of one or two to be heavy. On northern Scotland on balance

:07:00. > :07:02.through the day on Monday while there could be a few showers, a

:07:03. > :07:06.slight improvement here. But they will start to develop throughout the

:07:07. > :07:07.afternoon and with lighter winds
