:07:42. > :07:42.less than three weeks until the deadline, thousands remain. Andrew
:07:43. > :07:55.Hartley reports. We can eliminate them. He s`id it
:07:56. > :08:00.once and he said it again. @ hot hole promise on a road to nowhere.
:08:01. > :08:04.People realised it was ridiculous. We've got a Labour administration
:08:05. > :08:08.here at the county council who has been back tracking on that promise
:08:09. > :08:14.from day one. It is not feasible to fill all of the potholes in a three
:08:15. > :08:18.month period. Later came clarification, Northumberland County
:08:19. > :08:22.Council was committed to relove the backlog of holes on its network of
:08:23. > :08:28.3,000 miles of road. With two new patching machines and ?600,000 extra
:08:29. > :08:33.to spend, Northumberland Cotnty Council has been working fl`t out.
:08:34. > :08:37.In February, the backlog stood at 12,000 with 20 days left until the
:08:38. > :08:43.end of June, the total is down to 3,000. The promise was that we would
:08:44. > :08:49.try to get rid of the backlog of potholes by the end of June 201 .
:08:50. > :08:56.People need to report their local potholes and then we can get them
:08:57. > :09:02.repaired for them. Doing We are doing so well. Despite all of the
:09:03. > :09:06.hard work, plenty remain with new potholes emerging all the thme. Take
:09:07. > :09:11.this one, for instance, it hs about a meter wide and it is several
:09:12. > :09:19.centimetres deep and its edges are continuing to crumble away. It
:09:20. > :09:27.sounded like a bomb going off underneath my car. The tyre was
:09:28. > :09:31.actually came off the wheel rim Alistair says many roads around
:09:32. > :09:38.where he lives remain in a rough condition. I can't see any
:09:39. > :09:42.difference. There is potholds everywhere and I mean everywhere.
:09:43. > :09:48.The north's biggest cycle event takes place in Northumberland a week
:09:49. > :09:52.on Saturday. We have got falilies and youngsters riding up and never
:09:53. > :09:56.mind experienced cyclists. There is a danger to someone's, of someone
:09:57. > :10:02.getting injured. The council says it will cost up to ?200 million to make
:10:03. > :10:08.the county's roads pristine, money it hasn't got, but insists ht is on
:10:09. > :10:14.top of its hot pole problem `` pothole problem.
:10:15. > :10:18.There are claims that Scotthsh Independence could cost Newcastle
:10:19. > :10:22.Airport thousands of passengers a year resulting in the loss of
:10:23. > :10:24.hundreds of jobs at one of the region's biggest employers. That's
:10:25. > :10:27.what some aviation experts have told Look North ahead of this September's
:10:28. > :10:28.referendum. But pro independence campaigners disagree. David Rhodes
:10:29. > :10:34.reports. ?4.4 million passengers pass through
:10:35. > :10:39.this terminal each year, but for how much longer? The Scottish Government
:10:40. > :10:45.have said that within indepdndence they look to half airport p`ssenger
:10:46. > :10:48.duty and that worries the m`n in charge here. Customers are lobile.
:10:49. > :10:52.They will shop around for the cheapest flights and they whll
:10:53. > :10:56.travel long`distances to get the flights so we're concerned that
:10:57. > :11:00.customers from the north`east of England will travel from Scottish
:11:01. > :11:03.airports. But what is airport passenger duty for short hatl
:11:04. > :11:08.European flights, the Government adds ?13 to the cost of your ticket,
:11:09. > :11:14.but if you are flying to New York or Dubai, an extra ?69 is added. So if
:11:15. > :11:20.Scotland did abolish its airport taxes, a family of four in the
:11:21. > :11:25.future might save ?270 on a flight to America if they flew frol north
:11:26. > :11:29.of the border and passengers are split over whether they would be
:11:30. > :11:34.tempted to head to Edinburgh or Glasgow. I would consider it, yeah.
:11:35. > :11:39.Even though it is two hours up the road, you would think about it? Save
:11:40. > :11:45.the money. Even the petrol, you would still save. No. No. Wd just
:11:46. > :11:49.live down the road. There is no point. Why give ourselves extra
:11:50. > :11:53.hassle for that amount of money Campaigners for independencd says
:11:54. > :11:58.Scotland has to look after hts own interest though. We're bringing
:11:59. > :12:02.ourselves into line with other countries across Europe with much
:12:03. > :12:05.lower passenger duty we havd currently. It is the best thing for
:12:06. > :12:09.the Scottish economy and a growing Scottish economy would be good for
:12:10. > :12:15.this part of England. One ahrport which has to deal with the hmpact of
:12:16. > :12:20.differing passenger duty rates is Belfast International. Their next
:12:21. > :12:27.door neighbour is Dublin Airport. Duty isn't charged on I had flights.
:12:28. > :12:31.Airport duty has been abolished on long haul flights, but lots of
:12:32. > :12:35.passengers are heading across the border. Large numbers of people have
:12:36. > :12:39.been travelling from Northern Ireland out of Dublin Airport. We
:12:40. > :12:43.have a real live example and the same thing what happened in the
:12:44. > :12:49.mainland, but on a much bigger, bigger scale.
:12:50. > :12:54.The North East now has its first crowd funding website for
:12:55. > :12:57.entrepreneurs to raise monex for their inventions. The site replaces
:12:58. > :13:00.normal bank lending, allowing a wide range of investors to be involved.
:13:01. > :13:03.Schemes looking for money include a social network for cat owners and a
:13:04. > :13:10.hi`tech cricket training system Ian Reeve reports.
:13:11. > :13:19.A batsman facing a bowler would give a lot to improve his reaction times
:13:20. > :13:23.by 25%. But a prototype system developed in Sunderland clahms to be
:13:24. > :13:30.able to do just that. The low lights, opaque tunnel can train the
:13:31. > :13:35.brain and eyes to deal with 90mph balls and the experts say it works.
:13:36. > :13:39.On average every student th`t we put through it, was able to hit a
:13:40. > :13:43.cricket ball at between four and eight miles an hour faster. That's
:13:44. > :13:49.up to two yards of pace. Th`t's a big difference. It is Mel's idea,
:13:50. > :13:55.but now he needs ?200,000 for a fully working model. In the past,
:13:56. > :13:58.that would have meant a back loan, now the north`east has its own
:13:59. > :14:02.online investment site so investors can chip in large or small `mounts.
:14:03. > :14:06.It is now becoming an acceptable way to look for funding. The paperwork
:14:07. > :14:10.is done behind the scenes. Ht is a case of going on the websitd and
:14:11. > :14:14.filling out a form and investing however much you want to invest
:14:15. > :14:21.There are four potential investments on the new site, offering v`rying
:14:22. > :14:28.returning on your money and varying levels of oddness. This is Facebook
:14:29. > :14:33.for cats. Sounds mad! This company is designed a platform to
:14:34. > :14:38.accommodate those users and it is a specialist area. It is a ne`rby
:14:39. > :14:43.market space, but one which has potential and there is a nedd. The
:14:44. > :14:50.cricket training device attracted ?10,000 so 5% funded and thdre are
:14:51. > :14:57.67 days left to invest if you have the urge to come to the wicket.

:15:05. > :15:11.Hebburn? Could it be going to Americ`?
:15:12. > :15:31.I promise you something better is on the way for tomorrow. I havd got the
:15:32. > :15:36.details coming up. Dorothy Toogood's husband Roy was hit by a car being
:15:37. > :15:40.driven at 104mph on a suburban road. Dorothy is helping police to
:15:41. > :15:48.persuade newly licensed drivers to stick to the rules.
:15:49. > :15:53.This is too Toogood and this is the man who killed him as he was walking
:15:54. > :15:58.along the pavement. Now Dorothy Toogood allied herself with police
:15:59. > :16:02.as part of Road Safety Week. I tried to make it more personal to what
:16:03. > :16:07.happened to myself and my f`mily. Losing a husband, a father, a
:16:08. > :16:13.grandpa. By doing that, makhng them think, you know, if those pdople
:16:14. > :16:18.were absent in their lives because of something they did, throtgh
:16:19. > :16:22.driving, and I'm hoping that will just make them think maybe that
:16:23. > :16:28.little bit more talking to them rather than at them. As thex watch
:16:29. > :16:32.what it is like to be cut ott of a wrecked car, the students rdflect on
:16:33. > :16:37.Dorothy's story and offer rdassuring words about their future drhving.
:16:38. > :16:41.I'm going to be 17 on Saturday. Hopefully I want to get going. I
:16:42. > :16:46.can't wait for it, but you have to be sensible when you get thd licence
:16:47. > :16:49.in your hands and when you get a car. Everyone coming out with the
:16:50. > :16:55.right words, I remember when I was your age, I couldn't wait to get my
:16:56. > :17:01.licence and get in a car and go as fast as I could. Isn't that the
:17:02. > :17:08.reality? I'm a scared driver at the moment. Last year nearly 400,00
:17:09. > :17:13.people were seriously injurdd and 29 were killed in the north`east's
:17:14. > :17:16.roads along. Dorothy Toogood says if she can make the slightest
:17:17. > :17:19.impression on the statistics, she will feel her campaigning efforts
:17:20. > :17:32.have been worthwhile. York is to become the first city in
:17:33. > :17:35.the north of England to introduce a fleet of electric buses. Thd service
:17:36. > :17:40.is officially launched tomorrow from a new Park and Ride at
:17:41. > :17:44.Poppleton. But because the buses are electric, they're very quiet and
:17:45. > :17:48.that's led to some concerns. Here's Spencer Stokes.
:17:49. > :17:54.The buses accelerate quicklx and quietly. For partially sighted
:17:55. > :17:59.people who listen to work ott if the bus is coming that could make
:18:00. > :18:04.travelling more difficult. First Bus and the council have been trialling
:18:05. > :18:11.the vehicles with a group of visually impaired passengers. The
:18:12. > :18:14.bus does make a noise, but hn heavy traffic or slow moving traffic we
:18:15. > :18:19.wouldn't know when the bus hs arriving. Does that worry you? Yeah
:18:20. > :18:24.because I can hear it as it is moving away. I can tell you when
:18:25. > :18:28.I've just missed the bus I wanted to catch. It is not just passengers
:18:29. > :18:32.getting used to the ?300,000 vehicles, it is a new experhence for
:18:33. > :18:37.the driver and the staff who look after the 15 strong fleet. Hf this
:18:38. > :18:42.was a diesel bus, this is where the engine would be, instead it is
:18:43. > :18:49.clean. There are lots of wires and big batteries and the power goes in
:18:50. > :18:56.almost like you are repowerhng a caravan, a charge will get 40 miles
:18:57. > :19:04.on the road. It will reduce pollution on York's traffic clogged
:19:05. > :19:09.streets. These buses were btilt down the road who hope the schemd will
:19:10. > :19:14.lead to other orders. The hdart is beating in Yorkshire, but the
:19:15. > :19:18.expansion is guaranteed by our success in terms of technology and
:19:19. > :19:23.product. Another electric bts leaves the factory heading for York. All 15
:19:24. > :19:38.will be up and running by the middle of June. If it is a success, many
:19:39. > :19:47.more may follow. The creator of the hit sitcom Hebburn has spokdn of
:19:48. > :19:53.plans for a remake in the US. The comedy starry Vic Reeves.
:19:54. > :19:58.There will be no more from these characters, but with the concept
:19:59. > :20:05.behind the Tyne side sitcom Hebburn set for a new life in the US, there
:20:06. > :20:10.is some consolation for being axed by the BBC. I had some ideas and
:20:11. > :20:13.there is lots of things abott money and how much money was available and
:20:14. > :20:22.unfortunately, there wasn't enough for us. It was glorious when we did
:20:23. > :20:25.it. When we went back to do the second series, people turned out on
:20:26. > :20:30.the streets. Hopefully we whll get a remake going which would be really
:20:31. > :20:34.good. I will hopefully have to fly over and explain it. I think they
:20:35. > :20:39.will do an American version of it. It will be in Pennsylvania. There is

:22:24. > :22:29.go down well with fans on both sides. He scored for Sunderland last
:22:30. > :22:34.season and was a key part of the side which pulled off an escape from
:22:35. > :22:39.relegation. We weren't allowed to interview him as the club s`id Jack
:22:40. > :22:44.Colback and his agent felt uncomfortable about him being on TV.
:22:45. > :22:52.This is what he told our colleagues from Radio Newcastle. It will be a
:22:53. > :22:57.controversial move. I'm herd for the rest of my life. I thank thdm for
:22:58. > :23:00.the support they gave us whdn I was a player and I thank the te`m for
:23:01. > :23:05.giving us the opportunity to play in the Premier League. Sunderl`nd
:23:06. > :23:14.aren't happy. They said thex agreed to call the demands set by Jack
:23:15. > :23:20.Colback. The club statement said, "For minimum to leave the club which
:23:21. > :23:27.supported him during his formative years has left a bitter taste." The
:23:28. > :23:38.club seems more concerned than the fans. I'm not bothered about him. He
:23:39. > :23:41.was a good grafter, but he didn t have a lot of goals behind him.
:23:42. > :23:46.Hopefully we will get someone better. In Newcastle supporters
:23:47. > :23:52.think he will be well accepted. If he puts the performances in,
:23:53. > :23:56.everything should be good. There was transfers between the clubs for many
:23:57. > :24:02.a year, as long as he performs on the pitch that will do fine for us.
:24:03. > :24:05.He will be one of 50 players who appeared for both clubs, but few
:24:06. > :24:11.made the direct move from one to the other. Lee Clarke upset Black Cats
:24:12. > :24:27.fans with his T`shirt message and didn't play for Sunderland `gain.
:24:28. > :24:33.When I went to Sunderland, H was unpopular with Newcastle fans.
:24:34. > :24:38.Sadly, my kids were getting ago va vation from people `` aggravation
:24:39. > :24:45.from people. Jack Colback is a good player. I don't think there will be
:24:46. > :25:01.any surprises for Jack. Two wins from two entries in the
:25:02. > :25:05.race last night. In cricket, rain has interrupted Yorkshire's
:25:06. > :25:13.Championship game with Nottinghamshire.
:25:14. > :25:24.Why does the rain always interrupt the cricket? We don't want `nymore
:25:25. > :25:31.rain! The same rain which affected play is tracking towards us now
:25:32. > :25:35.Some sharp showers now tracking towards us. We had a line of
:25:36. > :25:39.lightening stretching across the region. We have got more of those to
:25:40. > :25:42.come through as we go through this evening, but it is an improving
:25:43. > :25:47.story. As we head towards tomorrow morning, the showers start to die
:25:48. > :25:51.away and as you can see, a lot of dry weather by the morning. 12
:25:52. > :25:55.Celsius perhaps overnight. Last night we kept temperatures `t 1
:25:56. > :25:59.Celsius. Not as muggy, but fresher even though we keep up in double
:26:00. > :26:03.figures. We have high presstre building in from the south. That's
:26:04. > :26:08.what is killing the showers off It will give us a fabulous day across
:26:09. > :26:11.the region for tomorrow. It is a lovely, lovely headline that I have
:26:12. > :26:14.got to bring you for tomorrow. We will have good blue skies and dry
:26:15. > :26:18.weather, bright weather and again, feeling warm. Still above average
:26:19. > :26:22.for the time of year. Top temperature around 16 Celsits to 17
:26:23. > :26:26.Celsius. Tomorrow with all the sunshine around, and with a lot of
:26:27. > :26:31.dry weather too, but I've got a couple of showers drifting `cross,
:26:32. > :26:36.dry for the day tomorrow and a top temperature of 19 Celsius to 20
:26:37. > :26:40.Celsius. Similar to what we have seen. Towards the end of thd week,
:26:41. > :26:43.the high pressure starts to slip away a little. It just allows a bit
:26:44. > :26:48.of cloud and rain to topple around towards us. By the time we get to
:26:49. > :26:52.Friday, things becoming mord cloudy and also we are starting to pick up
:26:53. > :26:58.the risk aftouch of drizzle on either coast. If it is dry days you
:26:59. > :27:02.want, there were a couple of showers tomorrow, we are looking at good,
:27:03. > :27:06.dry weather for tomorrow. 20 Celsius by the time we get through to
:27:07. > :27:09.Thursday. Four or five degrdes above average for the time of year and
:27:10. > :27:13.slowly we start to see the cloud just building and a couple of
:27:14. > :27:16.drizzly spots towards both coasts by Friday and into Saturday too.
:27:17. > :27:22.Temperatures still Royal Mahl for the time `` reasonable for the time
:27:23. > :27:28.of year. We have got the BBC weather app for you. That gives you an
:27:29. > :27:36.hourly update. Fantastic we`ther. That's it. We're back tomorrow. We
:27:37. > :27:42.will see you then. Bye`bye.
