:04:24. > :04:28.so fast they had no time to make a distress call so no`one knew where
:04:29. > :04:31.they were or what was happening. Luckily a passing Dutch
:04:32. > :04:33.yacht came to their rescue. In this tiny raft they'd drifted
:04:34. > :04:41.for hours. Their fishing boat sunk milds
:04:42. > :04:48.off shore. Then over
:04:49. > :05:03.the horizon came this Dutch yacht. The couple on board became the
:05:04. > :05:06.unlikely rescuers. I could see the skipper waving and I learned on my
:05:07. > :05:12.dive course in meant they had a problem. I said, come on, there is a
:05:13. > :05:19.man in trouble. The skipper was very cool and happy and his mate was
:05:20. > :05:22.emotional. Emotional but astonishingly lucky.
:05:23. > :05:25.Happy and safe. By the time the RNLI got there and filmed these pictures,
:05:26. > :05:29.the Hartlepool fishermen were aboard the luxury yacht, fed and watered.
:05:30. > :05:36.We actually took the two lads back onto the lifeboat and we ask them if

:05:38. > :05:45.anything to eat and they sahd they had been treated like kings on the
:05:46. > :05:48.yacht. Fantastic. They were so happy that we had seen them. I have never

:06:00. > :06:05.they had drifted for around eight hours and they are very grateful to
:06:06. > :06:13.the rescuers. They came to our and brought us flowers and they were so
:06:14. > :06:17.happy that we were there. They bring me a nice bottle of whiskey and they
:06:18. > :06:23.do not know that I am a collector. It was very nice. The Dutch couple

:07:04. > :07:06.who died months after being punched in a nightclub in 2010 are taking
:07:07. > :07:09.their bid for justice furthdr. Solicitors have taken their case to

:07:13. > :07:15.the assault which left Kristian Thompson in a five day coma did not
:07:16. > :07:18.cause his death ten months later. Kristian Thompson was 18,
:07:19. > :07:21.a keen footballer and cricketer. And, says his family,
:07:22. > :07:23.a fit and healthy young man. But a single punch to
:07:24. > :07:26.the head inside this nightclub in Consett left him in a coma
:07:27. > :07:29.and needing life`saving surgery Ten months after the assault,
:07:30. > :07:44.Kristian died At the inquest in November 2012 a
:07:45. > :07:46.coroner decided there was insufficient evidence to link the
:07:47. > :07:50.assault with the eventual death of assault with the eventual ddath of
:07:51. > :07:56.Kristian Thompson and recorded an open verdict. A pathologist said it
:07:57. > :08:00.may have been a case of sudden adult death syndrome. The family refused
:08:01. > :08:02.to accept this and their solicitors have submitted formal legal papers
:08:03. > :08:06.to the Attorney General asking for to the Attorney General asking for
:08:07. > :08:08.the inquest result to be overturned. We were really tnhappy

:08:17. > :08:18.questions we asked as a family we think it was flawed. A lot of the
:08:19. > :08:24.questions we asked as a famhly were just met with, I don't know or, I am
:08:25. > :08:28.not sure. We did not have any of the clinicians present to ask any of the
:08:29. > :08:34.questions and the second pathologist was not present to ask `` answer any
:08:35. > :08:38.of the questions that we asked and we would like the Attorney General
:08:39. > :08:43.to quash the verdict and for us to have another inquest where we can
:08:44. > :08:44.get to the truth of what actually happened and what caused
:08:45. > :08:49.Christian's death. A spokesman for the
:08:50. > :08:51.Attorney General's Office told Look North Kristian Thompson's case
:08:52. > :08:53.will be considered before deciding whether or not to ask the Hhgh Court

:09:21. > :09:22.happens next? The family ard devastated. I spoke to his mother

:21:38. > :21:42.I am. It is going quite well. There was another medal for the

:21:46. > :21:47.swimmer Aimee Wilmott and it's the third she's picked`up in Glasgow.
:21:48. > :21:50.There was silver too for Culbria's Lauren Smith in the badminton,

:21:54. > :21:56.Dawn Thewlis rounds up the `ction. With a silver and bronze already in
:21:57. > :21:59.the bag, Aimee Willmott wasn't expected to add to her tally in the
:22:00. > :22:02.200m butterfly. But having led into the final 50m, she was only just
:22:03. > :22:05.overhauled by Canada's Audrdy Lacroix, with Hartlepool's Jemma
:22:06. > :22:08.Lowe in fifth. So delight for Aimee at another silver, and for the
:22:09. > :22:10.friends and family who travelled north to watch her. She was back in
:22:11. > :22:14.the pool this morning but n`rrowly failed to make it to this evening's
:22:15. > :22:22.final of the 400m freestyle. I just got stuck in on the third
:22:23. > :22:25.length and I knew I was stronger than some of the other girls but I

:22:58. > :22:59.British record holder Chris Tomlinson from Teesside who made it
:23:00. > :23:02.through to the long jump final with a jump of 7m 89cm, although he'll
:23:03. > :23:05.have to pull something special out of the bag if he's to challenge his
:23:06. > :23:08.rival and Olympic champion Greg Rutherford who jumped 16 cm
:23:09. > :23:09.further. Berwick's Guy Learmonth was up
:23:10. > :23:12.against world record holder David Rudisha in what turned out to be the
:23:13. > :23:16.fastest of the men's 800m heats. Although he was pipped to third
:23:17. > :23:19.place by just over a tenth of a second he qualified for the semi
:23:20. > :23:33.finals as the fastest loser. North Yorkshire's Jessica Taylor is
:23:34. > :23:36.pushing hard for a medal in the heptathlon. After two events, the
:23:37. > :23:39.high jump and the hurdles, she's currently lying in fourth spot with
:23:40. > :23:42.five events left. She'll go in the 200m and the shot put later tonight.
:23:43. > :23:45.And in the women's cross cotntry cycling another Jessica, Jessie
:23:46. > :23:47.Roberts from Northallerton crossed the line for Scotland in a
:23:48. > :23:49.creditable 11th place. Well, we have four more chances of a
:23:50. > :23:52.medal tonight, starting with the North East pair of Sonia Samuels,
:23:53. > :23:55.from North Shields, and Shildon s Kate Avery, who go in the women's
:23:56. > :24:00.10,000 metres final just after 7:00pm. Just before 10pm it's the
:24:01. > :24:07.final of the women's 1500 metres, featuring Laura Weightman from
:24:08. > :24:09.Alnwick in Northumberland. Before then, Carlisle's Nick Miller goes
:24:10. > :24:12.for glory in the final of the men's hammer. Middlesbrough wheelchair
:24:13. > :24:14.racer Jade Jones has another 48 hours to wait for the final of her
:24:15. > :24:18.event, that's the T54, 1500 metres. But the 18`year`old who battled her
:24:19. > :24:21.way to third place in the qualifying heat says she's learned a lot from
:24:22. > :24:33.the quality of the competition. She has been coached by Tanni

:24:37. > :24:41.Paralympics on the Commonwealth Games. It is a lot more tactical and
:24:42. > :24:44.it is about getting yourself in the right positions and you learn from
:24:45. > :24:46.every race and that is good to get the opportunity. Tanni Grey`Thompson

:25:23. > :25:28.will have a bit of an East/west split with eastern areas tending to
:25:29. > :25:32.be drier and brighter. The breeze continues to make things fedl
:25:33. > :25:36.fresher than it has done recently. This evening it is mostly briny ``
:25:37. > :25:40.dry with clear spells early in the night but later on the cloud will

:26:25. > :26:28.second bite at us on Thursd`y and on Friday it is not completely cleared
:26:29. > :26:32.away. That sets the scene for a more unsettled spell in the next few
:26:33. > :26:38.days. If you are out and about on Thursday and Friday rain for many of
:26:39. > :26:42.us but temperatures could make 20 degrees and the showers become fewer
