He appeared before Newcastle Crown Court today,

where he was charged with seven counts of causing grievous bodily

harm and one count of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.

A year ago tonight, 600 properties were flooded in York.

The damage was so severe because the Foss barrier,

which manages the city's, two riverswas overcome.

This is what happens when the barrier fails.

Home after home wrecked, businesses and lives disrupted.

It's the price York had to pay last Christmas.

Eight new pumps arrived in September.

They can shift nearly double the water of the old ones.

They've been tested, and the Environment Agency are keen

The pumping station now works to a lot higher

And knowing that it can handle the sort of floods

that we had last year, that should give people a great

sense of relief coming up to the anniversary.

Certainly, within five years, when we finish the works in York,

I would have thought York is probably one of the best

Emergency power generators have also been installed and raised up far out

And York has been given ?45 million of Government money

It's reassuring news for people living on Huntington Road,

who are just about returning to normal.

We should be all right this Christmas.

But it's the Christmas after that and the Christmas after that,

until the flood defences for the whole of York

and the River Ouse have been implemented, then we're

Thousands of hardy fundraisers braved the freezing waters

As you can see, Boxing Day dips have been held across our region

At Little Haven Beach at South Shields, people waded

into the waves in fancy dress, including Jade Thirlwall

Every year on Boxing Day I run into the North Sea

with Cancer Connections, it's a charity that I work with.

And this year I'm doing it in memory of my Auntie Nora,

I don't even want to know the temperature,

I'm here for Cancer Connections today.

First time I was here I did the dip, and then due to swimming

But since it's four years till Tokyo, I'm going to do it this year.

Football now, and not much festive cheer for our two

Middlesbrough beaten by 1-0 away at Burnley.

Sunderland got a late consolation at Old Trafford as they were beaten

Newcastle have a 7:45pm kick-off at home to Sheffield Wednesday

And it's been a four-year wait, but Darlington Football Club finally

They've been in exile in Bishop Auckland since leaving

their stadium when the original club went bust in 2012.

This afternoon they played the first match at their new ground

It wasn't the most glamorous Boxing Day fixture, but to Darlington,

To be actually back here in Darlington, it's

I can't actually stress how important this day

There's been a long while coming, but we're all really

I was getting emotional this morning reading all the messages

What I'll be like when the team comes out, I don't know.

Around 3000 turned out to welcome the team home.

And they had to wait less than ten minutes for Darlington

to score their first goal at the new ground, against Halifax.

A happy return for Darlington, although today was about more

It was a step in the rebirth of a football club.

Yeah, it was great to get back to the Darlington,

It feels like a brand-new fresh start to a new

And some snow on the Cumbrian tops overnight, but otherwise a quite

Well, after quite a cold day, unsurprisingly it's going to be

Clear skies, the temperaturess will take a real tumble

and the winds will really start to ease.

So we are at risk of seeing a few patches of frost first

We could see a few dense patches of fog forming as well,

with overnight temperatures dropping to about three or four Celsius

So we start the day tomorrow on a cold, crisp, bright note.

There may be a few fog patches that could linger through the day.

It's going to be very cold under these.

Elsewhere, though, plenty of sunshine, staying largely dry,

with temperatures climbing to 8 degrees.

I'll be back with the latest tomorrow lunchtime.

and longer spells of rain over northern isles. By the end of the

night, temperatures recovering once again after a chilly evening, three

to five Celsius. Tomorrow and for the next couple of days, we have

this area of high pressure which will really settle the weather down,

compared with of late. We start tomorrow on a mainly dry note. There

will be a few showers continuing in the north-west and the northern

isles, and the wind picking up here as we go through the day. Elsewhere,

it's looking dry, with plenty of brightness and sunshine and not as

raw a field tomorrow as we have had today, with less in the way of wind.

Temperature wise, up a notch to around seven to nine Celsius. For

the rest of the UK, we are also under the influence of high

pressure. Dry conditions across the board, with brightness and sunshine

and very little in terms of wins. Temperatures around six or seven. On
