:00:41. > :00:43.re`emerges from the depths of Haweswater ` thanks to a sunny

:00:45. > :00:46.record`breaking but heart`breaking night for Boro at Anfield.
:00:47. > :00:52.A real treat for the neutrals, though. We'll show you all 30
:00:53. > :01:08.penalties in 30 seconds! Disgusting, disgraceful, sh`meful.
:01:09. > :01:10.That's how the behaviour of one of our councils has been descrhbed
:01:11. > :01:14.after it employed security guards at a care home where a pensiondr was
:01:15. > :01:21.celebrating his 84th birthd`y party. Don Robson and daughter in law
:01:22. > :01:23.Michelle have been staging ` sit`in against Durham County Counchl's
:01:24. > :01:34.plans to close Newton House in Stanhope. But ` on his last day in
:01:35. > :01:38.the home ` some of Don's relatives were refused entry to the p`rty The
:01:39. > :01:41.council said it employed thd security staff because the family
:01:42. > :01:43.refused to say how many people would be attending. Stuart Whincup
:01:44. > :01:47.reports. There were security guards `t the
:01:48. > :01:58.front door, patrolling the grounds, keeping watch. His family wdre
:01:59. > :02:03.refused entry. I'm his daughter and I'm outside. Friends and melbers of
:02:04. > :02:09.the media were locked out of the car park. All this because an
:02:10. > :02:12.84`year`old man was trying to celebrate his birthday. # H`ppy
:02:13. > :02:17.birthday to you #. The partx carried on inside while outside Don's
:02:18. > :02:19.daughter was still struggling to get I'm disgusted, I'm shocked,
:02:20. > :02:22.I cannot believe that. They
:02:23. > :02:25.are spending all this money on security when they cannot kdep
:02:26. > :02:32.council care homes open. Thdy will do anything to stop us going in to
:02:33. > :02:40.see him. Only 15 people were allowed
:02:41. > :02:49.inside but no one seemed to know Is 15 the full capacity?
:02:50. > :02:51.It's a big building.
:02:52. > :02:56.It's a bit heavy handed. I don't have to comment.
:02:57. > :03:07.Then the alarms went off again. This is
:03:08. > :03:10.disgusting and disgraceful behaviour.
:03:11. > :03:16.what do they think is going to happen?
:03:17. > :03:19.It's a party for an 84`year`old!
:03:20. > :03:21.The countil say they were concerned it was widely
:03:22. > :03:27.advertised on social media `nd Mrs Robson refused to take
:03:28. > :03:37.responsibility for security measures.
:03:38. > :03:41.I'm ashamed to be a member of this council.
:03:42. > :03:44.Despite it all, he said he enjoyed his birthday and was
:03:45. > :03:51.sorry to be leaving. I'm gohng to cry that's the trouble. I al that
:03:52. > :03:54.worked up. How do you feel `bout this being your last day? I didn't
:03:55. > :04:02.think it would happen, but life s like that, it just goes on. So after
:04:03. > :04:06.So after the sirens, security and arguments
:04:07. > :04:08.Don's family said their protest was over. Today was their last day in
:04:09. > :04:22.Newton House. Police are investigating thd death
:04:23. > :04:24.of a woman in east Cleveland. The body of the 39 year old was
:04:25. > :04:28.found at a house on New Road Officers are treating her ddath
:04:29. > :04:31.as unexplained. A 37`old man's been arrested
:04:32. > :04:34.and is being questioned by police An investigation's underway at
:04:35. > :04:40.Durham Prison following the death of an inmate. 32 year`old Kevin Forster
:04:41. > :04:43.was found ill in his cell tdn days ago at six in the morning. He died
:04:44. > :04:47.an hour and a half later. A Prison Service spokesperson said the

:04:58. > :04:59.controversial waste inciner`tor in North Yorkshire has ended today The
:05:00. > :05:01.County Council approved the plans this afternoon for the site at
:05:02. > :05:09.Allerton Park near Knaresborough, despite strong protests. It'll cost
:05:10. > :05:15.one point four billion pounds over 25 years but will burn
:05:16. > :05:18.enough waste to heat more than forty thousand homes. Today's dechsion has
:05:19. > :05:20.been a bitter blow for camp`igners who've fought the project every step
:05:21. > :05:24.of the way. More power for the regions ` that's
:05:25. > :05:27.what Labour is promising if it wins the next election. But what exactly
:05:28. > :05:30.does that mean for the North East and Cumbria? There's renewed concern
:05:31. > :05:33.that our region could be left behind as a stack of new powers ard handed
:05:34. > :05:37.to Scotland in the wake of the independence referendum. Our
:05:38. > :05:39.Political Correspondent Mark Denten met Labour leader Ed Miliband on the
:05:40. > :05:42.last day of his party's conference in Manchester. He began by `sking
:05:43. > :05:45.him what specific powers he'd hand Bting together people to sax how we
:05:46. > :07:34.want to change things. It is really important to hdar athe
:07:35. > :08:45.voice of the northeast. Our confernce is about a re`l plan
:08:46. > :08:50.for th future. Our region is coping with those differences in a way that
:08:51. > :08:58.other parts are not. You say you are going to offer
:08:59. > :09:01.thanks to other parts of thd country.
:09:02. > :09:10.That is why we are looking `t things but we need it to be people in the
:09:11. > :09:23.north`east that say what thdy want. This is a huge process of ddvolution
:09:24. > :09:26.but also looking at what arda by area people want to see. I don't
:09:27. > :09:40.know if you have driven up the it is hopeless. Will you address it?
:09:41. > :10:00.We have got to get the deficit down so I cannot make a false promise. We
:10:01. > :10:02.are looking at what they find that because careers events was that they

:10:35. > :10:38.shock in an accident which put him in a coma for three weeks. Now John
:10:39. > :10:41.Dodsworth has been to visit the medics who rescued him. John was
:10:42. > :10:44.working on a farm in County Durham when a piece of equipment hd was
:10:45. > :11:21.using touched an overhead power line. Phil Chapman has the story.
:11:22. > :11:30.I had severe burns. They put a plate in my head. I now
:11:31. > :11:38.have got a nice metal plate. Were they for auction they reckon.
:11:39. > :11:41.If it hadn't been for them, he wouldn't be here today. Thex also
:11:42. > :11:47.helped my brother. I just want to shake you by the hand
:11:48. > :11:52.and say thank you. Now the whole family is preparing to
:11:53. > :11:55.take part in the Great North Run to raise much`needed funds.
:11:56. > :12:10.We rely entirely on fundraising All We rely entirely on fundraising
:12:11. > :12:14.training and all the staff for the Ambulance Service. All that money is
:12:15. > :12:20.used correctly and we lose `s much as soon as we can to have the newest
:12:21. > :12:36.equipment and everything we need to go.
:12:37. > :12:38.It has certainly been a dry and sunny September four many of us and
:12:39. > :14:24.in Cumbria has up in the valley and had wonderful
:14:25. > :14:28.sentimental memories of it. People have been trekking b`ck and
:14:29. > :14:33.forth. It must create memorhes. It has endless fascination. People know
:14:34. > :14:37.if there is the slightest 's ability of anything emerging from the
:14:38. > :14:44.water, they come from quite great distances.
:14:45. > :14:48.What happens to the people? He went out gradually, it wasn't a lass of
:14:49. > :14:58.eviction. We are going to have to cut it off
:14:59. > :15:02.but thank you. Still to come: The National Railway
:15:03. > :15:10.Museum reaches its 10th anniversary. We ask what it has done
:15:11. > :15:25.for the local economy. Join me for the weather fordcast.
:15:26. > :15:29.Primary school children on North Tyneside have been staging their own
:15:30. > :15:33.fashion show to raise awareness about the importance of road safety.
:15:34. > :15:35.It's all part of Operation Dragoon, a Northumbria Police initiative to
:15:36. > :15:58.cut road casualties among young people. Hannah Bayman reports.
:15:59. > :16:08.Each of these young models has designed their own outfit, cutting
:16:09. > :16:13.up uniforms donated by the police. There has been lots of disctssion in
:16:14. > :16:23.class, they have had assemblies from the police. They have had elergency
:16:24. > :16:35.vehicles. I think it is a d`y they will never afford get.
:16:36. > :16:40.There was lots of happy facds. When someone is trapped inshde a car
:16:41. > :16:44.this is what we used to cut the door off.
:16:45. > :17:09.Now the alternates are drawhng in, they are taking this safety project
:17:10. > :17:13.in schools across the area. The children have been enjoxing
:17:14. > :17:15.playing and finding out abott vehicles and safety messages. What
:17:16. > :17:22.is really important as parents getting involved as well. Btt also
:17:23. > :17:25.go home and tell their parents all about it.
:17:26. > :17:32.Now the children here are doing their best to be seen. The hope is
:17:33. > :17:40.that drivers will do their bets to look out for them.
:17:41. > :17:43.Those nights are getting darker The National Railway Museum in
:17:44. > :17:48.County Durham is ten years old. In that time it is claimed that the
:17:49. > :17:56.museum has pumped millions of pounds into economy, and brought ndarly 2
:17:57. > :18:02.million visitors. This is more than a visit to an
:18:03. > :18:07.attraction. The Railway Musdum has become a driver of regeneration
:18:08. > :18:14.Take a brown field sites, ?01 million, and ten years later this is
:18:15. > :18:17.what you get. There are 35 members of staff and we
:18:18. > :18:25.work with people and the wider region who we support. We stpport 74
:18:26. > :18:29.jobs. It puts about 3.6 million into the local economy and we work with
:18:30. > :18:33.local businesses. The museum says it has seen 1.8
:18:34. > :18:42.million visitors over the l`st decade. This is the sort of event
:18:43. > :18:49.they have attended. This ye`r's gathering of locomotives. More will
:18:50. > :18:58.come to see this. The goods carriage that transported Winston Chtrchill
:18:59. > :19:04.to his burial place. I am really ploughed to be `` proud
:19:05. > :19:12.to be involved in this high`profile event. When we are removing lots of
:19:13. > :19:19.old woodwork and replacing ht with new. It is in reasonable condition
:19:20. > :19:24.but some springs needs refurbished and replaced and it will be
:19:25. > :19:29.repainted. This has given Richard employment
:19:30. > :19:36.after losing his factory job. New houses have been built in its
:19:37. > :19:39.shadow. A museum helping to paint a brighter future for this sm`ll part

:20:25. > :20:26.beat Alan Pardew's old club Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this
:20:27. > :20:29.evening. Commentary on BBC Newcastle. Last night, therd were
:20:30. > :20:31.defeats for Sunderland AND Middlesbrough. But Boro couldn't
:20:32. > :20:39.have come ANY closer to makhng the next round after a record`breaking
:20:40. > :20:42.penalty shoot`out. Dawn Thewlis tried to keep count!
:20:43. > :20:45.Initially it may not have bden the start young on loan keeper Jamal
:20:46. > :20:48.Blackman was hoping for on his debut when a mix up with fellow Chelsea
:20:49. > :20:51.loanee Kenneth Omeruo allowdd Jordan Rossiter put Liverpool ahead ` but
:20:52. > :20:54.he was to make up for it later. A resilient Boro fought back. Adam
:20:55. > :20:57.Reach heading in Grant Leadbitters free kick to level the scord and
:20:58. > :21:01.send the game into extra tile. When Suso put the Reds back in front for
:21:02. > :21:04.a second time it looked to be game over but Aitor Karanka;s side were
:21:05. > :21:06.handed a lifeline when Kolo Toure brought down Patrick Bamford in the
:21:07. > :21:10.dying moments and the substhtute cooly stepped up to send Silon
:21:11. > :21:24.Mignolet the wrong way. But if that was dramatic ` the real drala was
:21:25. > :21:27.yet to come as the longest penalty shoot out in the history of the
:21:28. > :21:30.League Cup unfolded in front of the But as the
:21:31. > :21:33.shootout reached number 30 ` a lapse in concentration saw Albert Adomah
:21:34. > :21:35.send his kick wide to hand Liverpool victory. A defeat for Boro xes ` but
:21:36. > :21:43.they can hold their heads hhgh! I told them after the game that I
:21:44. > :21:51.didn't have words to tell them how proud I am because we were fighting
:21:52. > :21:57.against one team like Liverpool in Anfield and how difficult it is
:21:58. > :22:00.Finally we lost. It is an alazing game.
:22:01. > :22:05.Albert Adomah, who missed that last penalty admitted he'd actually lost
:22:06. > :22:08.count! Meanwhile ` despite dominating much of the game and
:22:09. > :22:11.carving out several decent chances ` last
:22:12. > :22:15.season's losing finalists Stnderland bowed out rather tamely in the end,
:22:16. > :22:18.beaten 2`1 by Stoke City who had a little more pace and cutting edge.
:22:19. > :22:21.In fact it was the Wearsiders who went in front with a real
:22:22. > :22:24.collector's item. United St`tes striker Jozy Altidore scored his
:22:25. > :22:27.first goal in 30 games with a smart finish. Marc Muniesa equalised for
:22:28. > :22:33.the visitors before the bre`k. Black Cats head coach Gus Poyet w`s angry
:22:34. > :22:37.Steven N'Zonzi WASN'T sent off for grabbing Jack Rodwell round the
:22:38. > :22:41.neck, but Stoke WERE more clinical in front of goal and ` after calls
:22:42. > :22:44.for a foul on Adam Johnson went unheeded Muniesa scored his second
:22:45. > :22:46.with twenty minutes to go. So a disappointing exit for Sunddrland
:22:47. > :22:49.after last season's cup heroics But Stoke's first win at the St`dium of
:22:50. > :22:52.Light. Yorkshire's Joe Root and Durham
:22:53. > :22:56.all`rounder Ben Stokes have been named in the England squad for the
:22:57. > :22:59.one day tour to Sri Lanka. Hn the county championship Warwickshire
:23:00. > :23:02.look well placed to avenge their cup final defeat by Durham last weekend.
:23:03. > :23:05.and new champions Yorkshire may struggle to pick up their nhnth win
:23:06. > :23:16.of the season with Somerset on top at Headingley. Thank you very much.
:23:17. > :23:22.We were hearing earlier how it spin dryer and we were talking about
:23:23. > :23:28.Mardale, how are things? Yes, we have had some rain but now
:23:29. > :23:33.we're near what we should h`ve. Lovely bright skies again today
:23:34. > :23:39.Thank you for this picture. A different day tomorrow, a cloudy and
:23:40. > :23:45.damp start. It will be breezy and western regions will stay d`mp. East
:23:46. > :23:51.of the Pennines for any brightness. Milder in the East as well. Lots of
:23:52. > :23:56.cloud today. That is the picture we have for this evening. Up to the
:23:57. > :24:00.North, that is thicker credht `` code which is heading our w`y.
:24:01. > :24:07.Temperatures will dip into single figures. Temperatures will recover
:24:08. > :24:11.later as clouded thickens up. The wind will pick up as well, heading
:24:12. > :24:20.to the south`west. This clotd could produce patchy rain, mostly overcome
:24:21. > :24:23.the and North but `` Northulberland. Most regions will have rain
:24:24. > :24:30.tomorrow, most widespread in the West. Eastern regions will start to
:24:31. > :24:34.dry up in the afternoon. A bit of brightness. It will be quitd
:24:35. > :24:41.breezy, with the wind coming from the south`west. You will sed some
:24:42. > :24:48.bright spells in the East whth some very mild temperatures, up to 2
:24:49. > :24:53.Celsius. Somewhere on the north east coast will edge into the low 20s
:24:54. > :24:58.tomorrow. Different for Cumbria drizzly rain on and off throughout
:24:59. > :25:03.the day, especially if you `re exposed to the winds. That hs the
:25:04. > :25:09.picture for tomorrow. This weather front comes down from the north
:25:10. > :25:14.tomorrow night. It will bring rain but produces pressure conditions for
:25:15. > :25:21.Friday. Bright and breezy stms it up into Saturday. After the tahl end of
:25:22. > :25:30.the working week, the weekend will stay mostly drive. It will be breezy
:25:31. > :25:35.but largely dry. Not that bad. We're not complaining
:25:36. > :25:37.for October as we approach ht. That's over now. Join us later. Good
:25:38. > :26:09.evening. I go round the country
:26:10. > :26:13.and talk to people and so many people say life's an incredible
:26:14. > :26:17.struggle at the moment and even if it's not a struggle now, they
:26:18. > :26:21.feel uncertain about the future What kind of future is
:26:22. > :26:25.my family going to have? People have lost that confidence
:26:26. > :26:27.that there is going to be a future that is better than
:26:28. > :26:29.the past, that their kids are going I think that now there's sense
:26:30. > :26:34.of we have been through the pain, we have made the sacrifices, where
:26:35. > :26:37.is the vision for the country? It's time we had a plan
:26:38. > :26:42.and that's what my plan
