celebration in fact that thhs weekend, the Great North Run will | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
see its 1,000,000th finisher crossing the line. It is a world | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
first. It will be officiallx ratified by the world governing body | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
of athletics. The whole show is basically about the north`e`st. It | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
has been told through music and song and fireworks. They will also be a | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
dozen floating vessels put on the time. It also features great local | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
people such as Sting and local actors and 700 local voluntders Of | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
course, we have got the verx best, two of the greatest televishon | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
entertainers, intimidate, whll be opening proceedings. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
I mentioned that the story of the North East | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
which will unfold here tonight was written by a local author. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
An award`winning writer, in fact ` Tyneside's David Almond, | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
whose novel Skellig won Children's Book of the Year | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
We're promised Olympic styld ceremony, which means an Olxmpic | :02:39. | :02:54. | |
style preparation. The volunteer performers had their own drdss | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
rehearsal. They will tell the story of the north`east through d`nce We | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
go through the industrial revolution, rake through to the age | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
of electricity. Have you done anything like this before? No. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
Never. For those behind the spectacular, this will be vdry | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
special. I think it will be very stirring. I have been watchhng and | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
hearing the stories. There hs a beautiful script. I think it will | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
set the heroes of the back of the neck up. On the river, a flotilla | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
representing the history of the area. What does being a Barbadian in | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
Newcastle mean? I think it leans a lot of here, a lot of noise. I can | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
do that. This would represent shipbuilding, so as it goes up | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
towards the parting, pyrotechnics will create the effect of wdlding | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
flashes. Apparently, the performers are not sure at what point they will | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
be called in, but we think the shipbuilding installation m`y be | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
part of Sting 's performancd. 2 ,000 will watch this show, as thd Great | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
North Run prepares to celebrate its 1,000,000th runner. It is about | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
ordinary people doing extraordinary things. 1 million people have done | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
this. We're really looking to it. I mentioned that the story | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
of the North East which will unfold here tonight was | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
written by a local author. An award`winning writer, in fact ` | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Tyneside's David Almond, whose novel Skellig won | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Children's Book of the Year It is a major production. Oh please | :04:52. | :05:06. | |
tell you to see it come togdther? It is fantastic. Have you been working | :05:07. | :05:28. | |
on a long? A few months now. Actually, as it was being planned, | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
as salmon jumped up underne`th the bridge. It is clear brief ddtail the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
story of the north`east in ` mere half`hour. Yes, it is about the | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
task. But we are also looking at the future. We have got this grdat | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
cultural heritage, but it is not finished. We keep on going. That is | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
why the Great North Run is such a good metaphor. We keep on going We | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
keep on running. The north`dast has energy which will keep it going | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
forever. Can you actually rdlax when all starts? I think the sunshine is | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
going to help me. Thank you. Most of the musicians will be | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
performing on stage on the Gateshead Sharuna Sagar's been watching | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
them rehearse throughout thd day. Yes, there has been a steadx stream | :06:22. | :06:35. | |
of musicians, famous and not so famous during the course of the day. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Mark Knopfler has been rehe`rsing and has just come off stage. | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
He has got the honour of opdning the whole show, at around 8.30pm. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
And he will be playing Local Hero, the film soundtrack that has become | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
a Geordie anthem and, of cotrse is very closely associated with | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
He is not the only Geordie rock royalty here. Staying well be here. | :06:51. | :07:05. | |
He has flown in from the Unhted States. He has found time to join in | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
the celebrations. He will bd performing his title track, entitled | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
by his childhood. He grew up in the shadow of the shipbuilding hndustry. | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
He will be joined by a host of local musicians, including his frhend | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Jimmy nail. I am so pleased we were asked. We are doing a music`l about | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Tyneside, so to be as here to celebrate the for this, to celebrate | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
her study together, it is great I am thrilled. What will you be | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
performing. I am going to do the title song from the musical. I was | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
actually going to try and rtn the run this year. But I am out of the | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
country. What was your time? About two hours ten. Pretty good. You | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
have you ever done? I had somebody do it for me! You are prettx fit. | :08:26. | :08:37. | |
Yes, but I do not like runnhng long distances. I am more of a mdters | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Pearson. What you think it hs about the race captures the imagination? I | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
remember when it started. It was just the ten mile run. I know that | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
her study. I know that Brendan has been the architect of it. Btt people | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
from all over the world know about it. It is fantastic. You excited | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
about performing tonight? It is a bit nerve wracking coming home. I | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
cannot quite explain why, btt coming back home to Newcastle was very | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
special. There is a fear factor which is not normally they `re. I | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
admit it. It is important for me. I want to do well for the people and | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
for myself. Coming home is not easy. Tonight sure, you are one of the | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
highlights. That is going to be a lot going on. What are you looking | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
forward to? I am looking forward to seeing Mark playing local hdro. I am | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
also wanted to hear the story of the local area, which was writtdn by | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
David. It should be a great day I will let you get going and let you | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
get on with the strange ple` for performance rituals you do. We had | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
best not talk about that! . I did want to know what they were, but | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
they may not revealing anything Stein insisted on doing the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
interview sat on the railings, practically overhanging than ever. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
What he wanted to do tonight was performed with the mercury light | :10:31. | :10:43. | |
mercury prize band. Becky and Rachel join me know. How excited are you | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
tonight? I do not think words can describe how excited we are. It is | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
amazing to be here and to cdlebrate the millionth runner. To perform | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
listing and Jimmy nail. It hs just great. I saw Lord of the volunteers | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
walking down. It made me fedl quite emotional. There are so manx people | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
involved in the celebration of the north`east. You had a big f`n of | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Sting, but he is an even bigger fan of your brand. You will be sharing | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
the stage with him. We are `ll celebrating a wonderful night. It is | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
less than two hours before xou're on stage, so I had better let xou go. I | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
think we're better go and ptt on our make`up and dresses! | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Back to Jeff now at Newcastle Quayside. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Now, it is time to go back to Stephanie Cleasby in the newsroom. | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
15 people have been injured after a bus crashed through railings | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
and ploughed into a cemeterx in Gateshead. | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
The accident happened at around eleven o'clock this lorning | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
Two people are being treated in hospital, but their injuries are | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Just how the bus crashed through railings, trees and gravestones | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
and ended up here is what the police are now trying to find out. | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Abandoned in the middle of the cemetery, the windows | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
The driver has now been interviewed by the police. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Jim had been visiting his wife's grave | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
and was just yards from his car when he watched the bus crash into it. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
I am still shaking. I just saw it flying through the railings and | :12:42. | :12:54. | |
crashing down into the gravdyard. What was this seem like? | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Devastation. It was just not stopping. I have never seen anything | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
like it in my life. 15 people were on the bus | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
when it crashed. Gateshead Council is now contacting | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
the 30 families, whose loved ones' Bus company Go North East s`id | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
its thoughts were with the passengers and it has promised | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
a full investigation. Unions say the closure of ntrseries | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
at two Teesside hospitals whll have Nurseries at North Tees | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
and Hartlepool hospitals will shut The nurseries have places | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
for 180 children, but hospital trust managers say they | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
have become uneconomic to rtn. This will mean over 50 job losses. | :13:32. | :13:49. | |
It will have a devastating hmpact on employees and the other people who | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
use the service. We see this decision has been rushed and we urge | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
them to reconsider. We have a plan this year, efficiency targets of ?15 | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
million. It is ever more difficult to do that. We have been putting off | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
this for years. There is nothing more we can do as an altern`tive. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
Meanwhile, a Teesside hospital is lookhng | :14:18. | :14:18. | |
at whether high`intensity fhtness can help patients recover qticker | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
Researchers at James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough are carrying out a | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
?250,000 clinical trial on patients who have abdominal aortic aneurysms | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
` a potentially fatal swellhng on the main abdominal blood vessel. | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
The hospital says it could change the way such high`risk patidnts | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Sport now and, despite the bookies offering odds on various candidates, | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
it seems Carlisle United ard no nearer to naming a new manager after | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
Monday's sacking of Graham Kavanagh. After Tuesday's win over Accrington, | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
the club is hoping temporarx bosses Tony Caig and Paul Thirlwell can | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
carry on the side's upturn hn fortunes. Mark McAlindon reports. | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
Of course, there is more to football m`nagement | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
than laying out the cones It is Tony Caig and Paul Thirwell's job to plot | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
a course to victory on Saturday in the week the club lost a manager but | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
We have prepared the team. H do not think there will be drastic change. | :15:16. | :15:35. | |
They are a great bunch of l`ds, they are very professional. | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
So, is there still time to get the right man and be successful | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
The two men say they did not want the job full`time, but what sort of | :15:48. | :15:57. | |
character are you looking for? Whoever comes needs to have a effect | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
straightaway. We want the tdam back where they belong. Is there still | :16:04. | :16:16. | |
time to get someone in and be successful? When I came herd, we | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
were bottom at christmas and ended up in the play`offs. | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
Whoever ends up in charge, the season starts now. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
There will be more from me and highlights from the Quaxside | :16:31. | :16:52. | |
The event started all the w`y back in 1981. People of all ages took | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
part. There was not a separ`te junior run back in these daxs. It | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
was a day to remember for the 1 ,000 who took part. It has now bdcome one | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
of the most fantastic and wdll loved sporting events in the country. It | :17:11. | :17:19. | |
was a local lad to put his name in the history books, is the fhrst | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
finisher. No, the day we have been telling people the last four months. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Here they are preparing for the army of competitors. There were ` lot of | :17:33. | :17:43. | |
club runners on a lot of am`teurs. I was very excited in the run`up to | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
it. When I wrote back, I cotld not believe the amount of peopld | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
stretching out behind me. This time, the here is an adherent of people | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
ready to run. I was preparing for the event with all sorts of | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
strategies. My main intention was to win. As soon as the gun went, it was | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
slightly downhill and I thotght I am off. I knew I had been in a big | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
race and a fast race. The bridge was built in 1920 and you | :18:22. | :18:46. | |
must have been the first person to run across the middle of it. The | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
last person to have done th`t would be as horse and carriage. The only | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
people I had the only peopld I had an | :19:01. | :19:13. | |
by the time he reached the bypass, he decided no one was going to pass | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
him. His main rivals are several young hundred yards behind. Already, | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
he has won the 10,000 metres event in the town. This is home grown for | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
him. As he forges even further ahead, make McLeod is getting a warm | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
welcome and plenty of encouragement. It is much appreciated. The support | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
from the spectators is to bdcome one of the outstanding memories of the | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
day. It is all the help he needs. Even at the feeding station, he | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
declaims the offers. He does not need it. | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
The first winner and we are now coming up to 1 million. Can you | :20:10. | :20:20. | |
believe it? Just over 30 ye`rs. It is such a great day. The only thing | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
that is missing is the paint on the table. I bet you have not h`d that | :20:29. | :20:47. | |
paint yet. I would not hold your breath. | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
You won the second Great North Run and felt you should have won | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
Yes, I ran the race the previous day and I was a bit complacent. That is | :20:57. | :21:15. | |
a lesson to all athletes, do not get too complacent. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
You're here as part of an official ceremony to mark the | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
along with two other famous faces from the world of athletics, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
Paula Radcliffe and Baroness Tanni`Grey Thompson. | :21:27. | :21:27. | |
Tanni, the wheelchair race has changed beyond all recognithon | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
since the first one back in 198 , when there were just a few people | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
pein wheelchairs that took part ` many of them not athletes at all! | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
There were not initially many races actually accepted wheelchairs. It is | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
such a good home event. It hs straight and fast and easy to | :21:54. | :21:54. | |
manoeuvre. You won eight GNRs. Was any one | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
of those particularly speci`l? And your protege Jade Jones | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
takes part this weekend. What a great season she's h`ving | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
` bronze in the Commonwealth Games. She has done really well. She has | :22:04. | :22:15. | |
done great things. I think she is hoping to break my record. H think | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
she will definitely do it this weekend. | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
Paula, you have won the GNR twice, most memorably in the Millennium | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
Race of 2000, with a record` breaking time, abd still hold | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
the course record. How does it rank in your impressive list | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
It is right up there. It is the fastest I've ever ran over the half | :22:35. | :22:50. | |
marathon distance. It fitted in my plans for the half marathon. I had | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
grown up doing the cross`cotntry runs. I had always planned to run | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
the Great North Run. It was a no`brainer. It gets behind sport in | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
general and athletics in particular. Could this be another battld between | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
the two leading athletes thhs weekend? Yes, I think it is going to | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
be a very good race and a vdry fast time. Thank you all very much. We | :23:24. | :23:33. | |
have a great weather today `nd we are hoping it will be like that for | :23:34. | :23:42. | |
the rest of the weekend. A fantastic collection of athletes and ` | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
fantastic collection of med`ls I would guess. Earlier on tod`y, it | :23:45. | :23:56. | |
was a fantastic day, but we are hearing that people should wrap up | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
if they are coming this evening Brendan Foster just a band gave me a | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
thumbs up. I think he is pldased I have brought a good band of weather. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
The weather always plays a part but more so because of this big concert | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
tonight. The temperature totched 22 Celsius in some parts. Take a look | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
at the chart for this evening. Thicker cloud over to the wdst. We | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
could see a few showers in Cumbria. Most places will be dry. A few Mr | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
frog perches developing unddr clear skies. Temperatures typically don't | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
to 11 or 12 Celsius. Fairly straightforward overnight tonight. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Tomorrow, we start again with some early mist and is a list, wd will | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
see some sunshine. They will probably not last as long as they | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
