:01:15. > :01:17.They didn't materialise - but disruption was again feared
:01:18. > :01:20.at high tide this afternoon when 11 flood warnings were in
:01:21. > :01:24.They ran from Seahouses in the North, down to Scarborough
:01:25. > :01:30.As you can see, the wintry weather has produced some

:01:32. > :01:34.Adrian Pitches is live for us now at Roker in Sunderland.
:01:35. > :01:50.Yes, there have been spectacular scenes here today as the storm surge
:01:51. > :01:53.came down the North Sea. We had this spectacular high tide, a spring
:01:54. > :01:59.tide, coupled with these very strong north-westerly winds producing
:02:00. > :02:03.surging tides. People out in strength taking pictures marvelling
:02:04. > :02:08.at this free natural spectacle, great entertainment on a Friday
:02:09. > :02:11.afternoon. I talked to a number of people who were completely bowled

:02:34. > :02:39.I've lived here 40 years, and I don't think I've seen

:02:50. > :02:54.Overseeing the flood prevention operation has of course been the
:02:55. > :02:58.Environment Agency. With me if John Shelby from the agency. How do you
:02:59. > :03:03.feel it has gone today? I think it has gone very well today. We put out
:03:04. > :03:08.the right number of double odds and warnings so people could be aware of
:03:09. > :03:12.the risks and be prepared. Particularly down on the quayside in
:03:13. > :03:16.Newcastle, we had predicted that the incoming tide might break out of the
:03:17. > :03:22.quayside there. We had that temporary defences in place. They
:03:23. > :03:26.were tested at high tide around 4pm, DC did break out of the lowest part
:03:27. > :03:30.of the quayside round the Spring bread. That is where the defences
:03:31. > :03:35.were and they worked and they held up the water. The flooding. Along
:03:36. > :03:40.the coast what is the flood risk or the effect of this storm surge? We
:03:41. > :03:47.do have the ability still in place of along the coast. The conditions
:03:48. > :03:51.are still quite dangerous. There is an onshore wind. The tide is still
:03:52. > :03:56.high and we would urge people to exercise extreme caution and resist
:03:57. > :04:01.the temptation to go sightseeing and put themselves at any risk. Thank
:04:02. > :04:06.you for that. As John says, happily there have been very few incidents
:04:07. > :04:10.of danger to life or a limb but people do need to be careful. It is,
:04:11. > :04:12.after all, Friday the 13th, be careful.
:04:13. > :04:14.Meanwhile there's been flooding further down
:04:15. > :04:18.These pictures were taken on Pier Road just before high tide.
:04:19. > :04:21.Businesses and people living in the area and are being warned
:04:22. > :04:25.to be vigilant, and to stay away from the waves.
:04:26. > :04:28.Further inland - in the area around the station -
:04:29. > :04:31.water came over the harbour wall, making New Quay Road
:04:32. > :04:35.And it was a similar picture in Scarborough
:04:36. > :04:38.Phil Bodmer was there for us and sent this
:04:39. > :04:50.I think it is safe to saying now perhaps the worst of the storm surge
:04:51. > :04:54.is over. I water was a couple of hours ago. Seas are still heavy and
:04:55. > :04:58.they are overlapping and you can see the road there, what were still
:04:59. > :05:02.coming up. The book pretty spectacular earlier on and because
:05:03. > :05:07.of the waves that came up, knocked these heavy objects like bends over.
:05:08. > :05:12.It looked more spectacular than it was a thinker. In a sense it hasn't
:05:13. > :05:17.caused any damage to property. They have been protected by those steel
:05:18. > :05:21.barriers and sandbagging which was carried out yesterday. At the spa
:05:22. > :05:25.complex all over the side of the harbour here in Scarborough there
:05:26. > :05:30.was some damage. That will be assessed when it is said to do so.
:05:31. > :05:32.Other than that it seems that Scarborough this time as God of
:05:33. > :05:39.micro-relatively lightly in comparison to the damage that was
:05:40. > :05:46.done in 2013 when the estimated cost of repair is in Scarborough was
:05:47. > :05:49.estimated over ?1 million. The foreshore road remained sealed off

:06:07. > :06:12.Stuart Whincup reports from Teesside Crown Court.
:06:13. > :06:15.The prosecution claimed Gareth Dack was guilty of the brutal
:06:16. > :06:18.murder of Norma Bell, and that he strangled her
:06:19. > :06:22.with an electrical cable at her home in Hartlepool.
:06:23. > :06:25.He then stole and sold the television and searched
:06:26. > :06:29.the property for money or anything valuable which he could sell.
:06:30. > :06:33.In the early hours of the morning, as his victim lay close by,
:06:34. > :06:36.the court was told that Gareth Dack used Norma Bell's telephone
:06:37. > :06:43.Now the prosecution say that when Dack decided to leave
:06:44. > :06:46.Norma Bell's house one final time, he decided to cover his tracks
:06:47. > :06:53.He turned the gas on at the hob, hoping the gas would ignite,
:06:54. > :06:55.causing an explosion, destroying any scientific evidence
:06:56. > :07:02.Dack's DNA was found on a number of items
:07:03. > :07:06.He later told the police that was because
:07:07. > :07:11.He also told officers he was not guilty of the murder
:07:12. > :07:14.and that she was a friend of his mother's.
:07:15. > :07:18.The prosecution say Gareth Dack's motivation was financial.
:07:19. > :07:21.He needed cash and was going to do whatever it took to get

:07:43. > :07:45.He's been in charge of Newcastle Hospitals since 1977,
:07:46. > :07:47.and helped put them on the world map with its transplant,
:07:48. > :07:53.But Look North's learned he's now being held to account
:07:54. > :07:55.by his board "on behalf of patients and taxpayers."
:07:56. > :07:57.Our Health Reporter Sharon Barbour joins me now.
:07:58. > :08:03.Sharon, firstly - Sir Len a huge name in the NHS.
:08:04. > :08:10.For 40 years has managed Newcastle Hospitals.
:08:11. > :08:18.In the early days Newcastle General and the Freeman. He has seen a huge
:08:19. > :08:22.number of challenges and changes in the health service and he has put
:08:23. > :08:25.Newcastle on the map. He created the great North Children's Hospital and
:08:26. > :08:30.brought in robotic surgery, major trauma unit saw the Bobby Robson
:08:31. > :08:36.Cancer centre developed. But perhaps most notably his work around
:08:37. > :08:39.transplant in the building of the Institute of transplantation.
:08:40. > :08:44.Newcastle perform the first single and transplant in Europe. The
:08:45. > :08:50.world's breasts of baby had transplant, Kaylee Davidson who is
:08:51. > :08:56.30 this year and cheap pays tribute to his work. I would say thank you
:08:57. > :08:59.for his vision to become reality coming you have saved not only my
:09:00. > :09:05.life but other transplants from around the region and we will be
:09:06. > :09:08.forever grateful. During the National review he fought for
:09:09. > :09:12.Newcastle to carry on with tiled heart transplants before the
:09:13. > :09:17.decision was overturned. He was always in a bottle of some kind.
:09:18. > :09:23.That one meant a lot to him -- battle. Initially Newcastle was
:09:24. > :09:27.given the right to carry on the transplant.
:09:28. > :09:29.Big thank you to everyone in the north-east, but also
:09:30. > :09:31.from throughout the country and abroad who have
:09:32. > :09:33.supported Newcastle upon Tyne in all that we do.
:09:34. > :09:45.Another achievement for Sir Len was the CQC rating the trust as
:09:46. > :09:49.outstanding. A long list of achievements but what has happened
:09:50. > :09:50.today? We don't know exactly. In a statement Newcastle hospitals
:09:51. > :10:17.confirmed that... NHS Improvement is currently headed
:10:18. > :10:23.by Jim Mackey from the nearby Northumbria trust. He is heading up
:10:24. > :10:27.the National institution but he has toured as he removed himself from
:10:28. > :10:32.any involvement in these affairs. We haven't been able to contact Sir Len
:10:33. > :10:36.for comment. I have spoken to a number of staff and they all said
:10:37. > :10:41.they can't comment. One described the situation as locked down but
:10:42. > :10:43.they are very shocked. Interesting. More to come on that for sure. Thank
:10:44. > :10:44.you. A 15-year-old girl -
:10:45. > :10:47.accused of murdering a seven-year-old girl in York -
:10:48. > :10:49.has appeared before a judge Katie Rough was found
:10:50. > :10:52.with severe injuries on Monday The 15-year-old girl, who can't be
:10:53. > :10:56.identified for legal reasons, is also accused of the possession
:10:57. > :10:59.of a knife as an offensive weapon. She was remanded into youth
:11:00. > :11:01.detention accommodation. Police are appealing for information
:11:02. > :11:04.after a family home in County Durham was badly vandalised
:11:05. > :11:06.while the occupants were out. It happened in Petterson Dale
:11:07. > :11:10.in Coxhoe on Tuesday. Those responsible had
:11:11. > :11:12.thrown paint around, poured cleaning products over walls
:11:13. > :11:14.and furniture, ransacked cupboards and drawers and poured
:11:15. > :11:19.bleach into the kettle. Now, we all know how people
:11:20. > :11:22.in the region pull together And this next story proves
:11:23. > :11:26.that community spirit Just before Christmas,
:11:27. > :11:30.Steph Lang's house in Hartlepool But, as Phil Connell reports,
:11:31. > :11:35.a campaign on social media has seen I think it could be
:11:36. > :11:42.clothes or bedwear. It's a side of Hartlepool that
:11:43. > :11:47.doesn't always make headlines. A kind and generous side that makes
:11:48. > :11:52.this community strong. Just before Christmas,
:11:53. > :11:54.this house in the town Steph Lang who lived
:11:55. > :11:58.here with her two children had no Everything was just
:11:59. > :12:09.black from smoke. They had no clothes apart
:12:10. > :12:11.from what they were stood in. On hearing of the family's
:12:12. > :12:20.plight, Tony and Leslie They launched a social
:12:21. > :12:23.media campaign asking And the response from Hartlepool
:12:24. > :12:29.has been overwhelming. Chips are down,
:12:30. > :12:31.everybody pulls together. So, what is it about
:12:32. > :12:41.Hartlepool people you think? Today more clothes and furniture
:12:42. > :12:48.were being delivered. Acts of kindness for
:12:49. > :12:52.which the family says Yeah, it is overwhelming,
:12:53. > :13:00.to be honest, because there are that many bad stories about people
:13:01. > :13:05.that they have done brilliant. I feel sorry for the
:13:06. > :13:09.family, I really do, Chips are down, we pull together
:13:10. > :13:14.no matter what it is. The town's support has got this
:13:15. > :13:18.family now back on its feet. A story to make people
:13:19. > :13:28.here proud of where they live. The Labour leader has said a crisis
:13:29. > :13:31.in the region's health service will be a key issue in the upcoming
:13:32. > :13:34.Copeland by-election. Jeremy Corbyn has also denied
:13:35. > :13:38.claims his previous opposition to nuclear power will lose votes
:13:39. > :13:40.for his party in the The contest has been
:13:41. > :13:45.triggered by the resignation of the sitting Labour MP,
:13:46. > :13:47.Jamie Reed. Our Political Correspondent Luke
:13:48. > :13:50.Walton asked Mr Corbyn if his criticism of the nuclear
:13:51. > :13:55.industry was Labour's Achilles heel. And it would be very helpful
:13:56. > :14:03.if they treated their pensioners properly and treated the pension
:14:04. > :14:06.fund properly as well. And those workers in Sellafield
:14:07. > :14:09.deserve a fair deal just like everybody else and we will be
:14:10. > :14:12.working with them on that. But you are actually on Conservative
:14:13. > :14:14.leaflets and your comments about decommissioning by power
:14:15. > :14:17.stations is already making hay It is very odd that that
:14:18. > :14:21.Conservative leaflet, so well funded, so beautifully
:14:22. > :14:25.produced and so expensive, didn't find even that amount
:14:26. > :14:28.of space to say something about the National Health Service,
:14:29. > :14:31.about the crisis in the NHS in the region, so I suggest
:14:32. > :14:35.to Conservatives, they are in government,
:14:36. > :14:38.the NHS is their responsibility, So, as Prime Minister,
:14:39. > :14:42.would you approve a plan for a new nuclear power station next
:14:43. > :14:45.to Sellafield which Well, we are not sure
:14:46. > :14:50.when that is going to come up. That may well have happened before
:14:51. > :14:54.a General Election takes place. I want to see an energy
:14:55. > :14:56.mix in Britain. I want to see a wider
:14:57. > :14:58.needs of renewable... I don't know what the circumstances
:14:59. > :15:03.will be at that time. You are against nuclear
:15:04. > :15:07.power, aren't you? I have obviously been very concerned
:15:08. > :15:10.about nuclear safety, as indeed has everybody else
:15:11. > :15:15.for a very long time. I also want to see a strong energy
:15:16. > :15:21.mix in Britain, which other So you don't rule out approving
:15:22. > :15:25.a new nuclear power station? Let's look at the issue
:15:26. > :15:28.when it comes up. Would you be going to Sellafield
:15:29. > :15:30.during the campaign I will be all over Cumbria
:15:31. > :15:35.in the election campaign. There's more from Jeremy Corbyn
:15:36. > :15:37.on Sunday Politics. That's this Sunday morning
:15:38. > :15:42.at 11am, here on BBC One. Now, as you can imagine,
:15:43. > :15:44.water companies like to keep But now Northumbrian Water has
:15:45. > :15:49.agreed to lower levels at its Kielder reservoir at certain
:15:50. > :15:53.times of the year. It's hoped it could play a part
:15:54. > :15:55.in preventing a repeat of the horrendous flooding
:15:56. > :15:58.many of our communities have faced. Our Political Editor Richard Moss
:15:59. > :16:04.reports on how it'll work. Kielder - the main source of water
:16:05. > :16:07.for much of our region. But also now playing a part
:16:08. > :16:11.in preventing floods. This is a controlled release
:16:12. > :16:13.of water from the reservoir - something that has been happening
:16:14. > :16:16.at Kielder for a few months now. It means at key times
:16:17. > :16:21.of the year Kielder can be kept below full capacity,
:16:22. > :16:23.allowing it to retain floodwater rather than see it flow over the top
:16:24. > :16:26.of the dam and into rivers Because of the sheer size
:16:27. > :16:32.of Kielder, we have done the modelling and we can afford
:16:33. > :16:35.to keep it at a lower And this lower level gives us some
:16:36. > :16:39.capacity to absorb more of the water And that stops it going
:16:40. > :16:44.into the Tyne and maybe causing The decision to lower levels
:16:45. > :16:48.here is part of an agreement But is this really a substitute
:16:49. > :16:51.for spending money There is no question
:16:52. > :16:56.we need to do that. But the single biggest thing to stop
:16:57. > :16:59.flooding is to retain the water before it gets down to the villages
:17:00. > :17:01.and towns below. Behind me you've got
:17:02. > :17:04.the best thing to do that. And relatively speaking this
:17:05. > :17:08.doesn't cost any money. This is a deal which will be
:17:09. > :17:10.watched closely elsewhere. Locals living near Thirlmere
:17:11. > :17:12.in Cumbria have been pressing their local water company -
:17:13. > :17:17.United Utilties - I would urge other organisations
:17:18. > :17:20.like United Utilities and others to come to the table and do
:17:21. > :17:22.a similar thing. I think Northumbria Water
:17:23. > :17:24.deserve great credit, It's not rocket science,
:17:25. > :17:29.but it does require some effort. And other organisations should
:17:30. > :17:31.take their part as well This is no panacea -
:17:32. > :17:38.the authorities say if something like 2015's Storm Desmond hit again,
:17:39. > :17:40.it wouldn't prevent Time for sport. A celebrity

:18:23. > :18:37.part of the Spring Season Played a football manager before?
:18:38. > :18:42.Never. I was a player once in the manageress for people who can
:18:43. > :18:44.remember that far back, a Channel 4 drama series where we auditioned for

:18:50. > :18:59.ended their 7-year exile Absolutely delighted. Especially for

:19:08. > :19:11.have been in the wilderness for too long and I think they have won a lot

:24:54. > :24:58.in your pictures. This from Whitley Bay is showing the waves lapping up
:24:59. > :25:02.against the sea wall. The next one from Whitby. This looks like snow

:25:08. > :25:13.this picture, it looks really beautiful but the waves are really
:25:14. > :25:17.powerful. For the weekend, things are set to change. It is going to
:25:18. > :25:20.stay bitterly cold. We gradually lose the winds through the weekend.
:25:21. > :25:25.Some sunshine tomorrow but by the time we get to Sunday things are
:25:26. > :25:29.turning milder but they will be wet once again. The first thing to note
:25:30. > :25:33.through the night tonight is a Met Office Yellow warning for ice. Where
:25:34. > :25:37.we have had showers today and the temperatures fall tonight that could
:25:38. > :25:42.be a problem tomorrow morning. Generally a dry night. As you
:25:43. > :25:48.showers in parts of Cumbria and later there might be a few along the
:25:49. > :25:53.north-east coast. In general dry but very cold. Temperatures in around
:25:54. > :26:00.minus one four minus two. Rural spots could be minus four or minus
:26:01. > :26:03.five Celsius. Bitterly cold start to Saturday morning. Watch out for the
:26:04. > :26:06.highest first thing but plenty of crisp winter sunshine through the
:26:07. > :26:11.morning. Still a nagging north-westerly breeze so it will
:26:12. > :26:16.accentuate that cold feel. My three o'clock in the afternoon the
:26:17. > :26:19.temperatures across Cumbria are just starting to creep up and that is a
:26:20. > :26:23.sign of things to come for the weekend. Here through the afternoon
:26:24. > :26:28.temperatures will reach around six Celsius. Through the north-east into
:26:29. > :26:34.North Yorkshire highs only two or three Celsius. Adding the strength
:26:35. > :26:37.of the wind it will feel very cold. This is the pressure Chart through

:26:56. > :27:00.lot of hill fog as well. Some low cloud. Temperatures dropping to
:27:01. > :27:05.around two Celsius. We stay above freezing for Sunday morning but a
:27:06. > :27:10.bit of a murky start. Very great, outbreaks of rain. On and off by the
:27:11. > :27:16.afternoon so not completely wet but it will feel dull and overcast. Much
:27:17. > :27:21.milder. Tamara's temperatures around six, Sunday looking at around 10
:27:22. > :27:27.Celsius. It will feel significantly milder. Through Monday it is another
:27:28. > :27:34.fairly grey day. Lots of low cloud. We keep that through next week.
:27:35. > :27:38.Thank you, I was going to go for a walk at the weekend but it sounds
:27:39. > :27:40.like I should sit in front of the fire. Whatever you are doing have
