:00:00. > :00:08.Police investigate the murddr of this young woman
:00:09. > :00:12.I would appeal to anybody in the area who knows
:00:13. > :00:13.who was responsible, or those individuals themselves
:00:14. > :00:21.More patients taken to hosphtal by ambulance face long delaxs before
:00:22. > :00:28.Hundreds of children across the north are taught how
:00:29. > :00:33.Conkers under threat from pests and disease.
:00:34. > :00:38.How you can help to safeguard their future.
:00:39. > :00:41.And, the former teacher who's worked tirelessly to help sick and injured
:00:42. > :00:45.animals is recognised with a special award.
:00:46. > :00:48.In sport, good news for golf fans with the announcement that ` Major

:00:54. > :01:12.Her family say they have no idea why anyone would take her life.
:01:13. > :01:14.But tonight an investigation's underway after a woman was `ttacked
:01:15. > :01:20.in a busy street in broad d`ylight by a large gang of men.
:01:21. > :01:22.27-year-old Jodie Wilkinson died after being stabbed
:01:23. > :01:24.near Newcastle city centre, and the police are urgently trying
:01:25. > :01:29.Our correspondent Peter Harris is at
:01:30. > :01:43.Carroll, if you picture the scene here yesterday afternoon, it was ten
:01:44. > :01:47.to fall, there were children walking home from school, and this happens.
:01:48. > :01:51.The police say in the build,up there was some kind of dispute and it
:01:52. > :01:53.ended in the most extreme and very public violence.
:01:54. > :01:55.Jodie had been walking in the middle of the afternoon.
:01:56. > :01:58.Then there was shouting, and what looked like a largd fight.
:01:59. > :02:06.This is a live and fast moving inquiry.
:02:07. > :02:09.There is more people involved in this incident,
:02:10. > :02:14.I would appeal to anybody in the area who knows
:02:15. > :02:17.who was responsible, or those individuals themselves
:02:18. > :02:21.to come forward as soon as possible so we can move this inquiry forward
:02:22. > :02:27.Scenes Of Crime officers have been at work all day.
:02:28. > :02:30.A 25-year-old man with Jodie was also stabbed
:02:31. > :02:35.The fact it's all happened in mid-afternoon is what shocks
:02:36. > :02:39.There were children coming home from school at that time,
:02:40. > :02:45.It was a sociable time of the day, really, in broad daylight.
:02:46. > :02:48.I think that's what made it even more shocking, just the amotnt
:02:49. > :02:52.of people that were around and saw what happened.
:02:53. > :02:56.And very saddened for the community here.
:02:57. > :02:59.And we want to do our best to support the community.
:03:00. > :03:01.Our building is open, we're open, we're available to talk
:03:02. > :03:03.to anybody who wants to talk over this.
:03:04. > :03:06.Because obviously it will have a big impact on pdople.
:03:07. > :03:10.Jodie Wilkinson's family have left tributes at the scene here.
:03:11. > :03:13.They say she was a devoted `untie and a loving sister who would do
:03:14. > :03:21.They say they've no idea whx anybody would want to take her life.
:03:22. > :03:24.Extra patrols are in the arda to reassure the public.
:03:25. > :03:28.The police stress what happdned to Jodie was not a random attack.
:03:29. > :03:35.At this stage, we do not have a weapons or weapons.
:03:36. > :03:37.Again, the appeal today is not just for information
:03:38. > :03:39.about who was responsible, it's about potentially
:03:40. > :03:44.People coming home last night potentially covered in blood,
:03:45. > :03:48.That will certainly help thhs investigation, if we can recover
:03:49. > :04:04.As the Jodie, she is somebody who turned her life around. Fivd years
:04:05. > :04:08.ago, the Chronicle newspaper gave her a young achiever award. Tonight
:04:09. > :04:13.the police are urging for anybody who knows anything to contact
:04:14. > :04:17.Crimestoppers. And there is a reward for information. Thank you, Peter.
:04:18. > :04:20.More and more patients are having to wait in ambulances outside
:04:21. > :04:22.the region's hospitals becatse space can't be found for
:04:23. > :04:25.Figures published today show the problem has worsened ovdr
:04:26. > :04:28.the last year, and in one c`se an ambulance waited outside
:04:29. > :04:33.Hospitals can be fined by NHS England if they don't admit
:04:34. > :04:37.Well, our News Correspondent Mark Denten is outside
:04:38. > :04:53.This is an issue, a knotty problem, if you like, that the NHS h`s been
:04:54. > :04:57.wrestling with some time. It boils down essentially to this - xou call
:04:58. > :05:01.for an ambulance, the ambul`nce arrives, the patient is takdn to
:05:02. > :05:07.hospital, but then they wait again, in some cases for over an hour,
:05:08. > :05:12.because there is not space `vailable in the hospital. That is a worry for
:05:13. > :05:17.patience. But us look no fotnd out as far back as two years ago when we
:05:18. > :05:20.covered the story, there is also concerned. -- as Look North found
:05:21. > :05:21.out. We're tied up, so the emergdncies
:05:22. > :05:24.are stacking up, waiting for us It is frustrating, you know,
:05:25. > :05:28.especially when your patient is not So what are the latest
:05:29. > :05:37.figures, Mark? Well, these figures have cole to
:05:38. > :05:40.light through a Freedom of Information Request that was
:05:41. > :05:45.submitted either Labour Party. Let's take a look at them. We start with
:05:46. > :05:49.the north-east service trust. The figures for patients waiting over an
:05:50. > :06:00.hour in ambulances outside hospitals in that region, 1314 in 2013 to 14
:06:01. > :06:06.by 20 14. That figure had increased to 2042, a 55% increase. Taking a
:06:07. > :06:10.look at the North West Ambulance Service trust, a massive arda, it
:06:11. > :06:14.covers Cumbria in our region. A fourfold increase in the nulber of
:06:15. > :06:20.people waiting over an hour outside hospital in ambulances, the 15, 00
:06:21. > :06:25.patients. And Yorkshire, thd Yorkshire ambulance trust, this of
:06:26. > :06:31.course includes North Yorkshire a fourfold increase their wealth. This
:06:32. > :06:35.includes 5000. For the reaction in the North East Ambulance Service
:06:36. > :06:39.trust, we've been getting the thoughts of all of a surge from that
:06:40. > :06:43.particular organisation. -- Paul Liversedge.
:06:44. > :06:46.I think actually it's a reflection of the pressures that the NHS
:06:47. > :06:51.I think handover delays is something that's occurring in most hospitals.
:06:52. > :06:53.I think, in a sense, it doesn't necessarily relate
:06:54. > :06:54.to ambulance activity, but certainly demand
:06:55. > :07:06.on hospitals is far greater now than what it's ever been.
:07:07. > :07:13.You have more detail on the picture at one of our hospital trusts? It
:07:14. > :07:17.runs a hospital in Durham and this one here in Darlington. It was a
:07:18. > :07:21.separate Freedom of Information Request basically asking thd same
:07:22. > :07:25.question but saying basically that the amount of time the numbdr of
:07:26. > :07:29.patients waited over an hour for ambulances outside this hospital in
:07:30. > :07:35.the six months to the end of 20 5 was 430, the longest waits there
:07:36. > :07:41.were well over three hours. This Trust was actually find by NHS
:07:42. > :07:45.England over ?7,000 for that. The trust says it has put matters in
:07:46. > :07:47.place to improve that service on behalf of patients and their safety.
:07:48. > :07:49.Thank you, Mark. 13 people have been arrested
:07:50. > :07:52.across the North East on suspicion of trafficking people into the UK
:07:53. > :07:54.for exploitation and Five addresses were searched
:07:55. > :07:57.in the Cowgate area of Newc`stle this morning, as well as properties
:07:58. > :08:00.in Houghton-le-Spring and Consett Eight men and five women
:08:01. > :08:03.are in custody, and ten people, who are believed to be
:08:04. > :08:07.the victims of exploitation, An inquest's heard a man
:08:08. > :08:12.from West Cumbria died after being ferociously att`cked
:08:13. > :08:15.by his pet dog. Stephen Hodgson suffered injuries
:08:16. > :08:19.to his neck and head at a house His teenage daughters tried
:08:20. > :08:23.to save him from the dog. The Staffordshire pitbull-cross died
:08:24. > :08:25.after police were forced to use More than 1,500 people who've signed
:08:26. > :08:33.a petition opposing plans for a pedestrian crossing ottside
:08:34. > :08:35.Carlisle Castle are being told it The crossing, on Castle Way,
:08:36. > :08:39.was approved by the council's Development and Control Comlittee
:08:40. > :08:44.last month. But some people say it'll bd
:08:45. > :08:47.dangerous and the plans shotld be Hundreds of children
:08:48. > :08:55.across the region have been learning In an event called
:08:56. > :08:58.Restart A Heart Day, North East Ambulance Servicd staff
:08:59. > :09:01.and dozens of volunteers have been going into schools to teach
:09:02. > :09:03.the children basic CPR - or, to give its correct title,
:09:04. > :09:07.Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It can often double someone's
:09:08. > :09:10.chances of survival if performed Jim Knight's been to see how junior
:09:11. > :09:16.school children at Mowden P`rk Junior School in Darlington
:09:17. > :09:18.are embracing their roles And of course, at this age,
:09:19. > :09:27.even learning something as potentially critical
:09:28. > :09:29.as lifesaving skills just And, unlike many adults,
:09:30. > :09:35.the children come to weightx matters like heart massage
:09:36. > :09:51.and mouth-to-mouth resussit`tion I enjoyed it, because now I know how
:09:52. > :09:57.to save somebody's life in case they collapse. And my favourite part was
:09:58. > :10:03.when you pumped them. What was the best bit today? Mouth-to-motth. You
:10:04. > :10:09.like that, did you? Yeah. How important do you think it is to have
:10:10. > :10:14.a go and try it out? Really. Because it could save somebody's life. You
:10:15. > :10:23.could be a hero. And that would be cool? Yeah, I would be like
:10:24. > :10:27.Superman! Of course, if you've ever tried to do CPR yourself yot will
:10:28. > :10:31.know it is physically demanding And although some of these small
:10:32. > :10:35.children might not be able to do it all themselves, the idea is that
:10:36. > :10:42.they instruct from the sidelines. Hurry-up Jim, you have to gdt to 30!
:10:43. > :10:45.See what I mean! They are 88 years old, although they probably don t
:10:46. > :10:49.have the strength to save a life themselves, they have the knowledge
:10:50. > :10:57.that they can grab an adult and talk them through how to save solebody's
:10:58. > :10:59.life, that's brilliant. If we can save somebody's life by makhng our
:11:00. > :11:03.children knowledgeable, that's got to be a good thing. A lot of fear is
:11:04. > :11:07.put into CPR, they are going to hurt somebody or kill somebody or get
:11:08. > :11:10.sued. By coming into schools and working with communities, you can
:11:11. > :11:13.pass on that message that what they are doing is going to save
:11:14. > :11:18.somebody's life, potentiallx. And they are not going to hurt them
:11:19. > :11:22.They've been so excited. Thd feedback, the big smiley faces, they
:11:23. > :11:24.all, and wait to get their hands on the mannequins. And they've
:11:25. > :11:36.absolutely loved it by the feedback that we've had. And of course, they
:11:37. > :11:38.might have taken something `way which could save somebody's life.
:11:39. > :11:41.That would be the ultimate goal wouldn't it was Mike if we can just
:11:42. > :11:44.save one person's life by train these children today, that would be
:11:45. > :11:45.amazing. Good to see them mdaning business.
:11:46. > :11:48.They're a favourite in playgrounds around this time of year,
:11:49. > :11:50.but scientists say conkers could vanish as a result
:11:51. > :11:53.To help tackle the problem, an academic from Newcastle
:11:54. > :11:56.University's set up a speci`l project to encourage the public
:11:57. > :11:58.to collect records of the pdsts endangering our conkers.
:11:59. > :12:00.A highly invasive insect is decimating our conker trdes,
:12:01. > :12:05.What we can see, if we look at some of the leaves of this particular
:12:06. > :12:14.These are all evidence of the horse chestnut leaf miner caterpillars.
:12:15. > :12:18.And they basically eat along the veins of the leaf,
:12:19. > :12:22.and so the tree invests mord of its resources into defending
:12:23. > :12:26.itself from this insect rather than producing conkers.
:12:27. > :12:29.This is an example of what ` normal conker should look like.
:12:30. > :12:32.And here's a conker from a heavily infested tred.
:12:33. > :12:35.And you can see that there is a significant
:12:36. > :12:40.It does weaken the tree, and make it more susceptibld
:12:41. > :12:42.to diseases such as bleeding canker, which will kill the tree.
:12:43. > :12:46.And there is evidence that people are no longer planting horsd
:12:47. > :12:51.So the outlook for the trees doesn't look good.
:12:52. > :12:55.The horse chestnut leaf mindr arrived in the UK in 2002 in London.
:12:56. > :12:59.It reached Newcastle in around about 2010.
:13:00. > :13:04.And we're really interested in tracking its range as it moves
:13:05. > :13:05.further north, particularly through Northumberland
:13:06. > :13:09.Through our citizen science project called Conker Tree Science,
:13:10. > :13:12.we're asking members of the public to record the damage to conker trees
:13:13. > :13:18.And we've also developed sole smartphone apps as well,
:13:19. > :13:20.where you can go to a tree, take photographs, upload th`t
:13:21. > :13:32.photograph, and the data gets automatically put onto our database.
:13:33. > :13:36.Plenty still to come on Tuesday's Look North.
:13:37. > :13:38.Jeff Brown joins me shortly with tonight's sports news.
:13:39. > :13:42.She gave up a teaching caredr to open an animal rescue centre
:13:43. > :13:46.Now her devotion has been rdcognised with a special award.
:13:47. > :13:52.Weather-wise, tomorrow looks like a bit of an East- West split. Find out
:13:53. > :13:55.what is in store for the next few days shortly.
:13:56. > :13:57.Middlesborough's Institute of Modern Art, or Mima,
:13:58. > :14:00.is allowing the public into its store-rooms to pick rarely
:14:01. > :14:04.It's a move that marks a new direction for the musdum
:14:05. > :14:06.often criticised in the past for exhibitions that were too
:14:07. > :14:08.challenging and didn't engage people on Teesside.
:14:09. > :14:13.It's Middlesbrough's Institute of Modern Art,
:14:14. > :14:16.but in its store-rooms, it has the rather more tradhtional.
:14:17. > :14:19.We're looking at a Lowry painting, very famous,
:14:20. > :14:24.Middlesbrough Town Hall madd in the 1950s.
:14:25. > :14:28.The painting by Lowry is ond of hundreds of currently unseen works.
:14:29. > :14:33.The collection belongs to the town, built up long before Mima.
:14:34. > :14:35.So the institute now wants the town to tell it
:14:36. > :14:37.what it wants to see from here in a new
:14:38. > :14:45.They can come here, spend thme inside this space on a numbdr
:14:46. > :14:49.of occasions, look at the work and say, oh, I like this,
:14:50. > :14:52.I like that, can you explain me more, what is this about?
:14:53. > :14:58.The move marks something of a change in Mima's policx.
:14:59. > :15:01.Ten years old next year, its exhibitions have sometiles been
:15:02. > :15:07.seen as too challenging, too obscure, not inclusive.
:15:08. > :15:09.Art, particularly in the UK, has had a tricky time.
:15:10. > :15:14.And the art world as we know it is not necessarily
:15:15. > :15:17.representative of all peopld's understandings of what art hs.
:15:18. > :15:19.And I think it's the responsibility of museums like this
:15:20. > :15:22.one to address that, and to analyse it and reconsider it.
:15:23. > :15:24.The first tours for the public are next month.
:15:25. > :15:27.The final selection will thdn be made, with the rarely seen
:15:28. > :15:41.displayed in a new collection gallery in February.
:15:42. > :15:46.Two years ago, Alex Farmer gave up a teaching career to open an animal
:15:47. > :15:50.Since then, she's worked seven days a week caring for thousands of sick
:15:51. > :15:53.And today her devotion was recognised.
:15:54. > :15:55.Alex was presented with a prestigious award in London.
:15:56. > :16:04.She used to be a primary school teacher, but these days Alex Farmer
:16:05. > :16:11.Here at the family's farm in Whitby, Alex has rescued thousands
:16:12. > :16:16.of injured wild animals - sea birds, seals and foxes.
:16:17. > :16:23.This pigeon arrived with a really badly broken leg.
:16:24. > :16:25.The leg was actually twisted round backwards.
:16:26. > :16:28.His leg has since been fixed with three metal pins, and he now
:16:29. > :16:34.The latest patient, though, is a three-week-old kitten,
:16:35. > :16:39.rescued from a building sitd on the brink of death.
:16:40. > :16:42.When I picked him up this morning he was absolutely covered in dirt
:16:43. > :16:47.When the guy initially found him he thought he was already ddad.
:16:48. > :16:49.When I picked him up he was stone cold.
:16:50. > :16:59.Alex's work has now been recognised by the International
:17:00. > :17:04.Animal Welfare Fund, who, at the House of Lords today,
:17:05. > :17:08.presented her with a special award - one of just ten they give ott each
:17:09. > :17:11.year, and one that would undoubtedly be cheered by the animals
:17:12. > :17:16.Well, I hope a lot of them would be grateful!
:17:17. > :17:19.Although I suspect some anilals such as gulls, for example,
:17:20. > :17:24.are very ungrateful patients, just being how they are.
:17:25. > :17:26.The most rewarding part of all is getting them bettdr again,
:17:27. > :17:30.getting them treated and seeing them go.
:17:31. > :17:31.So, for thousands of animals, Broomfield Farm
:17:32. > :17:35.is a welcome sanctuary - a place to recover and to bd
:17:36. > :18:01.What sort of noise with that?! It's a little kitten. Based on that, I
:18:02. > :18:06.know why she does it, but I hope she gets someone in to help her, she
:18:07. > :18:08.deserves a holiday! Good news in sport as well.
:18:09. > :18:10.We start with a real sporting coup for the region.
:18:11. > :18:13.Close House in Northumberland has been chosen as the venue for next
:18:14. > :18:15.year's British Masters golf tournament, with the course's
:18:16. > :18:17.attached Tour professional Lee Westwood as its host.
:18:18. > :18:20.It's being billed as the "bhggest golf event ever to have
:18:21. > :18:22.hit the North East", and sees a dream come to frtition
:18:23. > :18:24.for its owner and developer, Graham Wylie.
:18:25. > :18:31.The flags on every green sax it all - next year, the biggest stars
:18:32. > :18:34.of the European Tour will play on the colt course at Close House,
:18:35. > :18:38.As the club's Tour professional Lee Westwood, the former Brhtish
:18:39. > :18:41.number one and winner of thd 20 7 British Masters, was critic`l
:18:42. > :18:44.in swinging the decision Northumberland's way.
:18:45. > :18:47.Subject to approval, he could choose the venue.
:18:48. > :18:50.But there was still some PR work to be done to persuade organisers
:18:51. > :18:53.to bring the competition up north. Well, it did take some perstasion,
:18:54. > :18:57.There were nerves about bringing it up here, there's no
:18:58. > :19:00.And they've been here four or five times now and just
:19:01. > :19:02.checked out the area, checked out all the facilithes.
:19:03. > :19:04.But they're happy, we've signed the contract,
:19:05. > :19:08.He's played all over the world on some of the greatest
:19:09. > :19:13.And if he thinks it's good dnough, then it must be good enough.
:19:14. > :19:17.Some changes to the course will have to be made,
:19:18. > :19:21.The European Tour wanted a fourth pin position for the tournalent
:19:22. > :19:24.And the back of the green hdre, originally it was sloped too much
:19:25. > :19:28.So they've taken the actual turf off, we've levelled the gredn
:19:29. > :19:31.and we're putting it back on now, putting the slope back on again
:19:32. > :19:34.This is one of the two greens they're changing for the totrnament.
:19:35. > :19:37.It'll be the biggest golf tournament the region has seen since
:19:38. > :19:40.the Seve Trophy at Wynyard on Teesside more than ten ydars ago.
:19:41. > :19:43.Close House has hosted the PGA Seniors Championship and a host
:19:44. > :19:45.of pro celebrity charity gales, but with between 15 and 20,000
:19:46. > :19:47.spectators expected to turn out for the Masters,
:19:48. > :19:52.there are some logistical problems for the Tyne Valley course ,
:19:53. > :19:57.farmer who's letting us rent his fields off him.
:19:58. > :19:59.And we're talking to the Highways Commission and the police,
:20:00. > :20:01.there'll be a good traffic management plan on the way.
:20:02. > :20:05.There'll be a one-way system in place.
:20:06. > :20:07.You know, easy access from the A69 and the A1.
:20:08. > :20:12.So I think we're all geared up to have a great tournament.
:20:13. > :20:14.There's little financial benefit to hosting the tournament.
:20:15. > :20:17.So what's in it for the bushness entrepreneur and philanthropist
:20:18. > :20:20.There is a kudos of actuallx staging a Major event here
:20:21. > :20:24.But also it's more of a four or five year plan for me.
:20:25. > :20:27.You know, leading up to the tournament, hopefullx we ll
:20:28. > :20:32.If we bring some more peopld from the region to spend
:20:33. > :20:38.a bit of money here, that would be great.
:20:39. > :20:43.It should be good. The Mastdrs will take place between September the
:20:44. > :20:46.28th and October the 1st next year. The matches keep coming thick
:20:47. > :20:48.and fast for Rafa Benitez Tonight, the Magpies are back
:20:49. > :20:51.in Championship action, knowing there's a chance
:20:52. > :20:53.of going top if results 6,000 away fans will be at Barnsley
:20:54. > :20:57.cheering on the team. Hoping for a clean sheet will be
:20:58. > :21:00.a young man currently at thd top Of course, every roller-coaster
:21:01. > :21:04.has its ups and downs. Goalkeeper Karl Darlow's senior
:21:05. > :21:07.debut as Newcastle fought an ultimately fruitless battle
:21:08. > :21:09.against relegation was marrdd The only goal of the
:21:10. > :21:15.game at West Brom. He more than redeemed himself
:21:16. > :21:17.in the final weeks of the sdason. This save helping the Magpids grab
:21:18. > :21:20.all three points. But then at the start
:21:21. > :21:22.of the current campaign, manager Rafa Benitez
:21:23. > :21:24.chose to make new signing Until the pendulum swung ag`in,
:21:25. > :21:28.and Darlow was back The start of the season
:21:29. > :21:31.was obviously tough. I mean, to go from the back end
:21:32. > :21:35.of last year, where I played eight or nine games,
:21:36. > :21:39.it was good experience for le And then to drop back down `nd not
:21:40. > :21:43.be picked to start off with was obviously
:21:44. > :21:45.a little bit frustrating. But I know it's a long season,
:21:46. > :21:48.so I just carried on working hard, and thankfully the manager has got
:21:49. > :21:52.faith in me now to play me. The crowd at St James' this
:21:53. > :21:54.weekend was reportedly A sign that the fans haven't
:21:55. > :21:57.deserted a relegated squad. The fans have stuck with us,
:21:58. > :22:00.and obviously results But the away following that we've
:22:01. > :22:03.had all season has been incredible. And they obviously pack
:22:04. > :22:06.St James' out every week. And it's unbelievable,
:22:07. > :22:13.just stay with us and hopeftlly we'll get back in the Premidr
:22:14. > :22:15.League. Tonight's hosts, Barnsley,
:22:16. > :22:18.have gone five games without a win The Newcastle boss, though,
:22:19. > :22:21.knows the danger of complacdncy We have to be sure that we don't go
:22:22. > :22:24.there with our confidence, and then we start making mistakes
:22:25. > :22:27.and giving them the belief At the end of the day, they score
:22:28. > :22:32.goals, and that is always d`ngerous. Full radio commentary on BBC
:22:33. > :22:36.Newcastle with TV Gary Mills didn't enjoy the happiest
:22:37. > :22:41.return to York City last night. His first game back in charge saw
:22:42. > :22:44.the Minstermen lose their F@ Cup fourth qualifying round replay -1
:22:45. > :22:46.at Curzon Ashton, who play So that left us with four tdams
:22:47. > :22:52.in the first round draw, including Spennymoor Town,
:22:53. > :22:54.who were 3-0 winners at Lincoln United with this goal
:22:55. > :22:56.from former Sunderland striker David Dowson gift-wrapped bx home
:22:57. > :22:59.keeper Mario Ziccardi. And this was their reward -
:23:00. > :23:04.Spennymoor away to League One Massive test for us, but I lean
:23:05. > :23:13.what an occasion, you know, All the reward for all the hard
:23:14. > :23:17.work, and a fantastic opportunity for the supporters to travel
:23:18. > :23:19.in their numbers and witness That'll be a good game
:23:20. > :23:26.to watch, that one. Here's what's in store
:23:27. > :23:30.for our four survivors - Gateshead replay at home
:23:31. > :23:32.to Alfreton tomorrow night. There's a home tie for Hartlepool,
:23:33. > :23:35.and Carlisle go to St Albans City, who're chasing promotion
:23:36. > :23:41.from National League South. It's been a busy summer for Cumbrian
:23:42. > :23:43.badminton star Lauren Smith. Fresh from a trip to Rio whdre
:23:44. > :23:47.she took part in her first Olympics, this week Lauren was named
:23:48. > :23:49.Carlisle Sports And she's recently joined Tdam Derby
:23:50. > :23:54.in the National Badminton Ldague - one of seven clubs taking p`rt
:23:55. > :23:57.in a competition which was set up only three years ago in a bhd
:23:58. > :24:03.to lift the profile of the sport. A lot of people from back home,
:24:04. > :24:06.I'm from Cumbria say to me, like, oh, I watched your match and I tune
:24:07. > :24:10.in all the time to watch it. And it's really great to sed that,
:24:11. > :24:13.because I think with badminton one of the problems is that people don't
:24:14. > :24:16.get to see enough of And that's where the NBL has been
:24:17. > :24:20.really important in the growth of it - because a lot
:24:21. > :24:22.of people go and participatd, and the participation is massive,
:24:23. > :24:26.but not a lot of people know what it looks like at the top level,
:24:27. > :24:29.and I think that's where thd NBL will hopefully make a reallx big
:24:30. > :24:39.difference in badminton. There you go, lots of sport tonight.
:24:40. > :24:44.Can use either shuttlecock when they are hurting get quickly? No, not
:24:45. > :24:54.very well. -- when they are hitting it. You need to watch the rdplay is!
:24:55. > :24:58.How is the weather doing? There is an East - West split, the qtestion
:24:59. > :25:04.is how it will continue the rest of the week. Today was four se`sons in
:25:05. > :25:09.one day for some of us. First of all, Allenby on the Cumbrian coast
:25:10. > :25:14.looking towards Scotland thdre, cloudy skies earlier on tod`y. A bit
:25:15. > :25:21.further east in the Northumberland looking cool cross the high ground
:25:22. > :25:25.over towards Slaley. Brightdr on the east coast. This looking tropical
:25:26. > :25:29.earlier on with the palm trdes and blue skies, but I bet it didn't feel
:25:30. > :25:33.tropical in the north-westerly wind. Temperatures really struggldd today
:25:34. > :25:37.in many places, only just m`king double figures. Tomorrow thdre is an
:25:38. > :25:41.East - West split with showdrs in eastern areas, drier further west,
:25:42. > :25:46.the wind coming from a northerly direction. Staying on the cool side.
:25:47. > :25:50.One or two showers around this evening, but most will die `way as
:25:51. > :25:55.we head into the night, dry and clear for many. It will feel cold
:25:56. > :25:59.again. Temperatures in the towns dipping down to six or seven, out in
:26:00. > :26:06.the countryside we you are sheltered from the Greeks Breeze may be cold
:26:07. > :26:11.enough for ground frost -- why you are sheltered from the Breeze. A
:26:12. > :26:15.mostly fine start with sunnx spells. One or two showers in the E`st coast
:26:16. > :26:20.through the morning, later on in the day they will spread further. Always
:26:21. > :26:23.the best of the brightness `nd sunshine and the driest weather
:26:24. > :26:28.reserve the Cumbria tomorrow. That is where we will see the highest
:26:29. > :26:31.afternoon temperatures, peaking around 14 Celsius, but it whll never
:26:32. > :26:35.feel warm in the northerly wind That is the picture for tomorrow. A
:26:36. > :26:39.battle going on between high pressure to the west of us, low
:26:40. > :26:43.pressure to the East of us. The way it looks at the minute, that low
:26:44. > :26:48.pressure and is whether France will stay just about far enough south and
:26:49. > :26:53.east that it will miss the worst of that -- and its weather fronts. We
:26:54. > :26:56.will end up with an easterlx wind as high pressure is anchored over
:26:57. > :26:59.Scandinavia like it did last week and the week before. Heading through
:27:00. > :27:03.the next few days, a lot of dry weather to be had. Seeing the best
:27:04. > :27:07.of the brightness in the West. Always a bit more cloud likdly in
:27:08. > :27:10.the East with the risk of an order shall even as we head into the
:27:11. > :27:15.weekend, shouldn't see much more than the odd shower eastern areas,
:27:16. > :27:21.many places drier. The tempdrature struggle, 12 or 13 by best during
:27:22. > :27:25.the day, western areas could be cold enough for a touch of frost now and
:27:26. > :27:32.again. We will keep you upd`ted on your BBC local radio station.
:27:33. > :27:39.And we're off, Frost, it's coming! Thank you very much. That's it from
:27:40. > :28:06.us tonight, see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
