More on that and all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

Good evening. That's it

:00:00.:00:09.

Rescuers searching for a missing walker in the

:00:10.:00:11.

Lake District have found the body of a man on Helvellyn.

:00:12.:00:14.

61`year`old Richard Hayne from Northamptonshire has been

:00:15.:00:17.

missing from nearby Glenridding since Wednesday.

:00:18.:00:20.

Police said the body was found at Brown Cove Crags just

:00:21.:00:25.

Police searching for a missing man from County Durham

:00:26.:00:31.

have appealed for him, or anyone who's seen him, to contact them.

:00:32.:00:34.

Daniel Ferry, who's 24, left his home in the village of Eldon Lane,

:00:35.:00:38.

He's around five feet three and slim, with short blond hair

:00:39.:00:43.

Officers say he could have been using public transport

:00:44.:00:47.

and believe he might have travelled to the Newcastle area.

:00:48.:00:51.

A 21`year`old man will appear before Teesside magistrates tomorrow,

:00:52.:00:55.

It follows an assault in Blackett Avenue in Stockton on Saturday.

:00:56.:01:02.

Durham will soon be the only UK city centre with

:01:03.:01:05.

An Archimedes Screw was lowered into place today, from where it

:01:06.:01:12.

will harvest energy from the River Wear, as Damian O'Neil reports.

:01:13.:01:17.

At 13 metres long and weighing in at 20 tons, the Archimedes screw

:01:18.:01:21.

required a mix of delicacy and brute force to lower into place.

:01:22.:01:26.

It's a crucial stage in an innovative project that can't

:01:27.:01:29.

It's the only real, city centre hydro that there will be.

:01:30.:01:35.

It's unusual to have the right combination of the river and the

:01:36.:01:39.

In terms of the planning, we've probably been working

:01:40.:01:43.

The hydro`turbine is at the centre of a regeneration project

:01:44.:01:47.

called Freeman's Reach, which will accommodate commercial buildings

:01:48.:01:49.

Around 800 jobs are expected to be created or retained in Durham

:01:50.:01:54.

The ability to generate electricity on site was seen as a top priority.

:01:55.:02:00.

It's going to provide 75% of the energy for the

:02:01.:02:03.

That's from a carbon`neutral point of view

:02:04.:02:06.

Obviously, it saves on our own carbon thing.

:02:07.:02:09.

But also, in terms of keeping the jobs here,

:02:10.:02:12.

which is really what we needed to do, keeping the jobs in the city

:02:13.:02:16.

of Durham, obviously that keeps the spend in the city of Durham.

:02:17.:02:19.

Now that the screw is in place, the developers will have to dig out

:02:20.:02:23.

that bank and all of the rubble across there to divert the flow

:02:24.:02:25.

A group of volunteers in West Cumbria has stepped in to help their

:02:26.:02:29.

The Copeland Action Group was out in Whitehaven today,

:02:30.:02:34.

armed with equipment loaned free of charge, to tackle weeds,

:02:35.:02:38.

They said they wanted to improve community spirit

:02:39.:02:42.

They're all taking before`and`afters of their own little area.

:02:43.:02:54.

You're buzzing about yourself and then when you're driving past

:02:55.:02:57.

the area it's like a bit of pride ` I've done that.

:02:58.:03:00.

A quick reminder of a special programme

:03:01.:03:07.

In late 1967, a few months before his

:03:08.:03:11.

assassination, the American civil rights leader Martin Luther King was

:03:12.:03:13.

While on Tyneside to receive his honorary doctorate, he delivered

:03:14.:03:17.

Martin Luther King on Tyneside " is presented by the actor and

:03:18.:03:24.

comedian Lenny Henry in a few minutes on BBC One.

:03:25.:03:27.

Before that, let's have a look at the region's weather for the

:03:28.:03:31.

Some unsettled weather on the cards this week.

:03:32.:03:37.

Some heavy showers about and it is going to start to feel cooler, too.

:03:38.:03:40.

There will be patchy rain spreading eastwards so there will be some wet

:03:41.:03:46.

It's dry out there at the moment but cloud is increasing

:03:47.:03:50.

Towards the end of the night, patchy rain and drizzle will spread

:03:51.:03:54.

in to western parts, temperatures falling back to 11 or 12 Celsius.

:03:55.:04:00.

So, we will start the working week with perhaps a little bit

:04:01.:04:03.

of brightness in the east, but the cloud is going to edge eastwards

:04:04.:04:06.

through the course of the day producing patchy rain and drizzle.

:04:07.:04:10.

Perhaps the odd moderate, heavy storm but most

:04:11.:04:12.

The breeze still light and temperatures lifting to

:04:13.:04:16.

Of course, much cooler than it has been over the weekend.

:04:17.:04:21.

As we head through the rest of the week, it is going to be dominated

:04:22.:04:30.

by low pressure, so we are going to have a lot of cloud around.

:04:31.:04:33.

Cooler temperatures, too, and the risk of further heavy,

:04:34.:04:36.

So, more unsettled weather to come through the next few days.

:04:37.:04:49.

And we're back to start the new week in Breakfast

:04:50.:04:52.

So, on behalf of the late team, I'll wish you a peaceful night.

:04:53.:05:07.

Hope you had a nice weekend, it was a warm and sunny one across central

:05:08.:05:15.

and eastern areas. A different story out west with signs of change. It

:05:16.:05:18.

will be a different week this week with some rain around. Some sunshine

:05:19.:05:24.

too. For a time, it will feel

:05:25.:05:25.
