:00:44.:01:11.

The family of a Newcastle United fan who was killed on MH17 have been to

:01:12.:01:19.

Downing Street today. He was one of two Newcastle fans who died on the

:01:20.:01:26.

flight. We can go live now to Downing Street.

:01:27.:01:29.

this afternoon, flanked by officials from the Foreign Office

:01:30.:01:32.

and Family Liaison officers, Barry Sweeney walked into the front

:01:33.:01:35.

Other relatives of the victims of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH1

:01:36.:01:39.

Most went into the building round the back, away from the camdras

:01:40.:01:42.

The meeting with David Cameron lasted just under an hour.

:01:43.:01:45.

It was held in private and Downing Street made no statement afterwards.

:01:46.:01:47.

We know they discussed the international response to the crash.

:01:48.:01:53.

We know the relatives were keen to find out

:01:54.:01:56.

more about what David Cameron could do to help the bodies be returned

:01:57.:02:00.

But we would know little about what was discussed if it wasn't for Barry

:02:01.:02:08.

if it wasn't for Barry Sweeney, who was the only relative to speak

:02:09.:02:11.

Despite meeting Mr Cameron today he is angry and frustrated

:02:12.:02:22.

at not knowing what has happened to his son's body.

:02:23.:02:31.

David Cameron was very humble and answered every question that was

:02:32.:02:38.

asked of him. He brought a few experts in to talk about cr`sh sites

:02:39.:02:41.

and how the aeroplane might have come down and whatever. All of the

:02:42.:02:46.

questions were answered. We basically asked him just to help. He

:02:47.:02:52.

is doing everything and his utmost. There remains the very real

:02:53.:02:58.

possibility that some relatives will never get the bodies of their loved

:02:59.:03:01.

ones back? Yes, that is something Barrx Sweeney

:03:02.:03:03.

is very aware of. There are many bodies still

:03:04.:03:05.

unaccounted for but he is trying not That is a worst`case scenario and we

:03:06.:03:18.

are trying to be positive that we will get Liam and also John old

:03:19.:03:23.

back. We want to get the two back and hopefully everyone else will

:03:24.:03:24.

come back with them. With Barry Sweeney,

:03:25.:03:29.

and speaking to the media for the first time, was Barry's ex

:03:30.:03:31.

wife, Liam's natural mother Angela. She talked briefly about life since

:03:32.:03:34.

she learnt about her son's death. Just functioning basically, just

:03:35.:03:46.

waiting and liaison officers have been very nice. As Barry sahd, it is

:03:47.:03:50.

been very nice. As Barry said, it is just the weighting that is the worst

:03:51.:04:03.

bit. Tonight Barry and Angela are returning to the north`east would

not very much extra information about the whereabouts of thd

not very much extra information about the whereabouts of the body of

:04:09.:04:08.

their son. Two Hartlepool fishermen are

:04:09.:04:13.

recovering after enduring an eight hour ordeal drifting in

:04:14.:04:14.

a tiny life raft in the North Sea. It all happened 18 miles

:04:15.:04:18.

off the coast of Hartlepool. Their boat sank suddenly after

:04:19.:04:20.

its net snagged something on the It went down

:04:21.:04:23.

so fast they had no time to make a distress call so no`one knew where

:04:24.:04:28.

they were or what was happening. Luckily a passing Dutch

:04:29.:04:31.

yacht came to their rescue. In this tiny raft they'd drifted

:04:32.:04:33.

for hours. Their fishing boat sunk milds

:04:34.:04:41.

off shore. Then over

:04:42.:04:48.

the horizon came this Dutch yacht. The couple on board became the

:04:49.:05:03.

unlikely rescuers. I could see the skipper waving and I learned on my

:05:04.:05:06.

dive course in meant they had a problem. I said, come on, there is a

:05:07.:05:12.

man in trouble. The skipper was very cool and happy and his mate was

:05:13.:05:19.

emotional. Emotional but astonishingly lucky.

:05:20.:05:22.

Happy and safe. By the time the RNLI got there and filmed these pictures,

:05:23.:05:25.

the Hartlepool fishermen were aboard the luxury yacht, fed and watered.

:05:26.:05:29.

We actually took the two lads back onto the lifeboat and we ask them if

:05:30.:05:36.

they were thirsty or drink of tea or anything to eat and they said they

:05:37.:05:37.

anything to eat and they sahd they had been treated like kings on the

:05:38.:05:45.

yacht. Fantastic. They were so happy that we had seen them. I have never

:05:46.:05:48.

seen people so happy on board and those two men. The two fishermen

:05:49.:05:54.

those two men. The two fishdrmen were lying low today recovering from

:05:55.:05:55.

the raw deal. Before they were found the raw deal. Before they wdre found

:05:56.:05:59.

they had drifted for around eight hours and they are very grateful to

:06:00.:06:05.

the rescuers. They came to our and brought us flowers and they were so

:06:06.:06:13.

happy that we were there. They bring me a nice bottle of whiskey and they

:06:14.:06:17.

do not know that I am a collector. It was very nice. The Dutch couple

:06:18.:06:23.

who carried out the rescue our heading off to Whitby which was

:06:24.:06:26.

their scheduled stop before they took part in the rescue. Thd

:06:27.:06:29.

fishermen say they were treated took part in the rescue. The

:06:30.:06:30.

fishermen say they were tre`ted like fishermen say they were treated like

kings aboard the yacht so it was a happy ending to what must'vd been a

very traumatic day. An inquest's been opened

:06:35.:06:51.

and adjourned into the victhm of the drowning near North Shields

Fish Quay at the weekend. He's now been named

:06:54.:06:56.

as 46`year`old Paul Fairley Today's hearing lasted just

:06:57.:06:58.

a few minutes. The full inquest will be held

:06:59.:07:01.

in September. The family of a County Durham man

:07:02.:07:03.

who died months after being punched in a nightclub in 2010 are taking

:07:04.:07:06.

their bid for justice furthdr. Solicitors have taken their case to

:07:07.:07:09.

the Attorney General to challenge a ruling by a coroner that said

:07:10.:07:12.

the assault which left Kristian Thompson in a five day coma did not

:07:13.:07:15.

cause his death ten months later. Kristian Thompson was 18,

:07:16.:07:18.

a keen footballer and cricketer. And, says his family,

:07:19.:07:21.

a fit and healthy young man. But a single punch to

:07:22.:07:23.

the head inside this nightclub in Consett left him in a coma

:07:24.:07:26.

and needing life`saving surgery Ten months after the assault,

:07:27.:07:29.

Kristian died At the inquest in November 2012 a

:07:30.:07:44.

coroner decided there was insufficient evidence to link the

:07:45.:07:46.

assault with the eventual death of assault with the eventual ddath of

:07:47.:07:50.

Kristian Thompson and recorded an open verdict. A pathologist said it

:07:51.:07:56.

may have been a case of sudden adult death syndrome. The family refused

:07:57.:08:00.

to accept this and their solicitors have submitted formal legal papers

:08:01.:08:02.

to the Attorney General asking for to the Attorney General asking for

:08:03.:08:06.

the inquest result to be overturned. We were really tnhappy

:08:07.:08:08.

overturned. We were really unhappy with the verdict of the inqtest

:08:09.:08:10.

overturned. We were really tnhappy with the verdict of the inquest. We

:08:11.:08:11.

with the verdict of the inqtest We disagreed with it fundamentally and

:08:12.:08:12.

disagreed with it fundament`lly and we think it was flawed. A lot of the

:08:13.:08:16.

questions we asked as a family we think it was flawed. A lot of the

:08:17.:08:18.

questions we asked as a famhly were just met with, I don't know or, I am

:08:19.:08:24.

not sure. We did not have any of the clinicians present to ask any of the

:08:25.:08:28.

questions and the second pathologist was not present to ask `` answer any

:08:29.:08:34.

of the questions that we asked and we would like the Attorney General

:08:35.:08:38.

to quash the verdict and for us to have another inquest where we can

:08:39.:08:43.

get to the truth of what actually happened and what caused

:08:44.:08:44.

Christian's death. A spokesman for the

:08:45.:08:49.

Attorney General's Office told Look North Kristian Thompson's case

:08:50.:08:51.

will be considered before deciding whether or not to ask the Hhgh Court

:08:52.:08:53.

to look again at the evidence. Meanwhile the attacker, Mark Berry,

:08:54.:08:56.

has served time in prison after he admitted causing grievous bodily

:08:57.:08:59.

harm and has been released. Kristian's mother says her fight for

:09:00.:09:01.

truth and justice goes on. Stefanie joins me in the sttdio The

:09:02.:09:16.

family have taken the case to be a journey `` Attorney General so what

:09:17.:09:20.

happens next? The family ard devastated. I spoke to his mother

:09:21.:09:22.

devastated. I spoke to his lother today and she said they have so many

:09:23.:09:25.

today and she said they havd so many unanswered questions and she says

:09:26.:09:26.

unanswered questions and shd says she has barely slept for the past

:09:27.:09:27.

she has barely slept for thd past four years and the family believe

:09:28.:09:31.

there has to be a link between the attack and his eventual death. At

:09:32.:09:36.

the time of the inquest the Crown Prosecution Service said there was

:09:37.:09:39.

Prosecution Service said thdre was insufficient evidence and that is

:09:40.:09:42.

why further charges such as manslaughter were not brought. In

:09:43.:09:47.

six weeks time we expect a decision from the Attorney General. Hf he

:09:48.:09:55.

from the Attorney General. If he thinks it is necessary to h`ve

:09:56.:09:56.

thinks it is necessary to have another inquest he will apply to the

:09:57.:09:58.

High Court and they will make another final decision. There are

A pensioner who's lived in her Carlisle home for more than 30 years

:12:41.:12:43.

has vowed to battle proposals which could see it demolishdd.

:12:44.:12:45.

84`year`old Jean Hall could be forced to leave

:12:46.:12:48.

if a new development of the city, which would see her home replaced

:12:49.:12:52.

The city council announced the plan, which also includes knocking

:12:53.:12:57.

The only hint that Jean's home for more than 30 years is under threat.

:12:58.:13:05.

This generic letter telling her about a public consultation over

:13:06.:13:09.

plans for Carlisle's city centre was put through her door last wdek.

:13:10.:13:13.

But it wasn't until the 84`year`old's son

:13:14.:13:16.

investigated what the consultation was about that she realised her home

:13:17.:13:19.

could be demolished under plans put forward by the city council.

:13:20.:13:30.

I think it is disgraceful. I do not know where they've `` they `` they

:13:31.:13:36.

think they get the power from. I am here and I do not want to be

:13:37.:13:39.

here and I do not want to bd anywhere else. My son asked me if I

:13:40.:13:44.

was offered ?1 million if I would take it former house or even two

:13:45.:13:46.

million and I said no. He s`id take it former house or even two

:13:47.:13:47.

million and I said no. He said he million and I said no. He said he

:13:48.:13:47.

would have to get recertifidd and I would have to get recertifidd and I

:13:48.:13:51.

said he could get recertified but said he could get recertified but

:13:52.:13:54.

this is where I am and this is where I am staying.

:13:55.:13:55.

Under the plan the civic centre and eight homes, including Jean's,

:13:56.:13:58.

They'd be replaced with mord shops, to help see off competition

:13:59.:14:01.

This is a consultation and ht is at an early stage and the proposals are

:14:02.:14:13.

far from formed. It is about local plan and responding to statttory

:14:14.:14:16.

provisions within national policy which we have a duty to do. We have

:14:17.:14:19.

to identify retail and leistre need to identify retail and leisure need

and see where they can be located in the city centre and in this kind of

:14:25.:14:26.

location it will always be an option location it will always be an option

:14:27.:14:31.

that will have to be explored. The council says that homes in the new

:14:32.:14:33.

development could be on offdr but development could be on offer but

:14:34.:14:35.

Jean does not want to give tp the Jean does not want to give up the

just the most fantastic thrill because it was his passion `nd we

:19:04.:19:09.

For the cure rate this is a dream come true, recreating what Lord

:19:10.:19:16.

Armstrong achieved 150 years ago. It is the famous house that was the

:19:17.:19:20.

first one to be let by hydroelectricity and that is water

:19:21.:19:23.

power, he had a great passion for water power because he thought there

:19:24.:19:27.

was a monstrous waste of cold with the steam engine and he predicted

:19:28.:19:31.

that within 200 years all of our coal reserves would be exhausted at

:19:32.:19:33.

coal reserves would be exhatsted at the rate we were using cold and we

:19:34.:19:35.

must have an alternative. Hd the rate we were using cold and we

must have an alternative. Hd thought every stream and river ought to be

:19:38.:19:43.

put into use to provide both motive power and power to generate

:19:44.:19:47.

electricity. Lord Armstrong introduced hydroelectric like to

:19:48.:19:52.

Cragside in 1880. His turbines provided the electricity and his

friend provided the light btlbs friend provided the light bulbs.

Today those bulbs are LED, `ll now Today those bulbs are LED, all now

:20:06.:20:09.

ideas and its inventions were way ahead of its time. We talk `bout

:20:10.:20:11.

ahead of its time. We talk about eco`power now. Armstrong was seeing

:20:12.:20:18.

that 150 years ago and he knew there was energy in this water and he knew

:20:19.:20:21.

that we should save the likds of that we should save the likes of

You are on Commonwealth Games watch. You are on Commonwealth Gamds watch.

:21:36.:21:37.

I am. It is going quite well. There was another medal for the

:21:38.:21:42.

region at the Commonwealth Games last night. It went to Middlesbrough

:21:43.:21:45.

swimmer Aimee Wilmott and it's the third she's picked`up in Glasgow.

:21:46.:21:47.

There was silver too for Culbria's Lauren Smith in the badminton,

:21:48.:21:50.

although she didn't even get the chance to get on court in the final.

:21:51.:21:53.

Dawn Thewlis rounds up the `ction. With a silver and bronze already in

:21:54.:21:56.

the bag, Aimee Willmott wasn't expected to add to her tally in the

:21:57.:21:59.

200m butterfly. But having led into the final 50m, she was only just

:22:00.:22:02.

overhauled by Canada's Audrdy Lacroix, with Hartlepool's Jemma

:22:03.:22:05.

Lowe in fifth. So delight for Aimee at another silver, and for the

:22:06.:22:08.

friends and family who travelled north to watch her. She was back in

:22:09.:22:10.

the pool this morning but n`rrowly failed to make it to this evening's

final of the 400m freestyle. I just got stuck in on the third

do not go out by early enough but I am chuffed with that.

:22:26.:22:33.

In badminton's mixed team event there was joy and frustration for

:22:34.:22:35.

Carlisle's Lauren Smith. Dud to play the fifth game of the final against

:22:36.:22:38.

Malaysia, England's 3`1 defdat meant she didn't get the chance to step on

:22:39.:22:41.

to the court, though she did still pick up a silver medal.

It is a really great feeling. Obviously when you get a glimpse

British record holder Chris Tomlinson from Teesside who made it

:22:58.:22:59.

through to the long jump final with a jump of 7m 89cm, although he'll

have to pull something special out of the bag if he's to challenge his

:23:03.:23:05.

rival and Olympic champion Greg Rutherford who jumped 16 cm

:23:06.:23:08.

further. Berwick's Guy Learmonth was up

:23:09.:23:09.

against world record holder David Rudisha in what turned out to be the

:23:10.:23:12.

fastest of the men's 800m heats. Although he was pipped to third

:23:13.:23:16.

place by just over a tenth of a second he qualified for the semi

:23:17.:23:19.

finals as the fastest loser. North Yorkshire's Jessica Taylor is

:23:20.:23:33.

pushing hard for a medal in the heptathlon. After two events, the

:23:34.:23:36.

high jump and the hurdles, she's currently lying in fourth spot with

:23:37.:23:39.

five events left. She'll go in the 200m and the shot put later tonight.

:23:40.:23:42.

And in the women's cross cotntry cycling another Jessica, Jessie

:23:46.:23:47.

creditable 11th place. Well, we have four more chances of a

racer Jade Jones has another 48 hours to wait for the final of her

:24:15.:24:18.

way to third place in the qualifying heat says she's learned a lot from

:24:19.:24:21.

the quality of the competition. She has been coached by Tanni

Palestinians are killed in Gaza after 24 hours of intense

All right, well, I'll catch you later.
