:06:56. > :06:59.They will have had these reminders, so the message is that it is very

:08:16. > :08:19.There was a predictable spike in nonpayment of vehicle tax
:08:20. > :08:22.after paper tax discs were abolished two years ago.
:08:23. > :08:24.But the DVLA says the payment rate has now returned

:09:19. > :09:20.Of course we recognise we always have to do more,
:09:21. > :09:23.and so here in this region, particularly with young people,
:09:24. > :09:26.we've been working closely with schools, piloting having

:09:40. > :09:41.when they leave school, they're getting all the support
:09:42. > :09:44.to get work experience placements, and we'll be working

:10:12. > :10:13.to invest in the jobs, skills and infrastructure
:10:14. > :10:19.He said Middlesbrough needed a government prepared to implement

:11:04. > :11:12.And join me out and about on the ice, albeit man-made ice, for your

:11:16. > :11:17.Health Service over the winter months are rarely out
:11:18. > :11:20.of the headlines at the moment. But now a scheme launched
:11:21. > :11:22.in Darlington might just help Age UK and the local health trust
:11:23. > :11:26.are giving vulnerable older people a free weekly meal to try to keep
:11:27. > :11:29.them well and stop them Peter Harris has been to see
:11:30. > :11:36.the scheme in action It's a square meal but the nutrition
:11:37. > :11:44.served up here might just help the NHS as well as the older people
:11:45. > :11:47.who come for the weekly free lunch served up
:11:48. > :11:49.at Darlington Fire Station, as part of an effort to keep
:11:50. > :11:58.the elderly fed and well. By bringing people here,
:11:59. > :12:00.we are trying to get people to be more socially engaging
:12:01. > :12:03.and interacting as well as providing a nutritious meal and monitoring
:12:04. > :12:05.their weight and trying It's believed there are thousands
:12:06. > :12:12.in Darlington alone who are undernourished,
:12:13. > :12:14.and the health trust is trying to identify them to make sure
:12:15. > :12:17.they take advantage of this service. Now, what they're running
:12:18. > :12:19.here isn't directly connected Are you finished
:12:20. > :12:24.with your food, there? But as well as bringing
:12:25. > :12:30.people in here, giving them something to eat,
:12:31. > :12:33.making sure they get well fed, while they're here, they can also
:12:34. > :12:36.check on their weight and that can be referred back to their GP and it
:12:37. > :12:39.might make a contribution in keeping some older people out
:12:40. > :12:41.of the hospital wards. The main priority for everybody
:12:42. > :12:44.who works in health and social care is to keep people in their own homes
:12:45. > :12:47.with their own families If we can do that, it prevents some
:12:48. > :12:54.of the pressures on our NHS and particularly our A departments
:12:55. > :12:56.which are rather If you can just take yourself
:12:57. > :13:01.onto the scales for me. The weekly sessions also mean weight
:13:02. > :13:05.can be monitored week by week. Undernutrition is a big problem
:13:06. > :13:08.in the UK and it's often overlooked and it's a problem for our most
:13:09. > :13:10.vulnerable patients, so often people who are older,
:13:11. > :13:15.who potentially have got other illnesses happening,
:13:16. > :13:18.and it is often seen as growing old, you lose weight because you're
:13:19. > :13:20.getting older, and it Actually, if you are losing weight,
:13:21. > :13:25.that can have a big implication on your health and your
:13:26. > :13:28.quality of life. And, for the old folk, of course,

:15:23. > :15:29.a building in Penrith but it can't make improvements to the facilities
:15:30. > :15:31.unless it owns So the group's taken
:15:32. > :15:36.to the brew house to try This is the start of a hoppy IPA,
:15:37. > :15:47.crafted and brewed by Eden Mencap. It is a beer that aims to be more
:15:48. > :15:50.than just refreshing. Vanya Yam is the name of our beer
:15:51. > :15:53.and in Cumbrian dialect, We're almost home because we're
:15:54. > :15:59.buying our own building, so it's the key link
:16:00. > :16:01.to having that home. So every time you buy our beer,
:16:02. > :16:03.you are contributing to the longevity of people
:16:04. > :16:05.with learning For 30 years, Eden Mencap has been
:16:06. > :16:10.helping people learn new skills, make friends

:16:16. > :16:19.for its members will Having that building means that
:16:20. > :16:25.we've always got a home, we've always got something we can
:16:26. > :16:27.use, we've always got a permanent base that guys come
:16:28. > :16:30.to recognise where they are. It means we can establish
:16:31. > :16:33.lots more things there, we don't have to worry about moving
:16:34. > :16:36.in the next three years And we can start evolving projects
:16:37. > :16:40.that meet the community needs much more because we have our own home
:16:41. > :16:43.and we know we are always So far, a third of the ?200,000
:16:44. > :16:48.asking price has been raised. The idea of making more money
:16:49. > :16:51.from beer came from Mencap staff who have helped members
:16:52. > :16:55.get stuck in. We've been out a few times before
:16:56. > :17:00.Christmas and we've learnt about the process and it means
:17:01. > :17:03.when we've been back at the building we've been able to put some photos
:17:04. > :17:07.up and actually go through the whole process so the guys are learning
:17:08. > :17:12.the whole brewing process and that It means that it's a totally
:17:13. > :17:20.new activity for the guys as well As well as the learning, there's
:17:21. > :17:25.been plenty of bar room banter too. We're a small brewery and often
:17:26. > :17:29.times it's just me here on my own, so to have company is nice
:17:30. > :17:31.and they're so full of joy and enthusiasm
:17:32. > :17:35.for the project, it's been great. Vanya Yam will have its first
:17:36. > :17:41.official supping in March, when raising a glass will hopefully
:17:42. > :17:43.raise enough money to buy Now it is time for sport. You have
:17:44. > :17:58.breaking news. Let's start with Middlesbrough's
:17:59. > :18:01.second signing of the January transfer window and,
:18:02. > :18:03.looking at early postings on social Boro have tonight signed striker
:18:04. > :18:08.Patrick Bamford from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee

:18:34. > :18:38.on a home tie against Bristol City. The Black Cats crashed out
:18:39. > :18:40.of the competition last night after suffering a hugely
:18:41. > :18:47.disappointing 2-0 defeat at Burnley. Burnley and Sunderland know each
:18:48. > :18:49.other pretty well now. This was their third meeting

:19:04. > :19:05.Eve. Sunderland keeper Vito
:19:06. > :19:07.Mannone had to be alert But he was beaten on the stroke
:19:08. > :19:12.of half-time by this glancing In the second half, Sunderland
:19:13. > :19:16.tried to up their game - Seb Larsson sensing a half-chance
:19:17. > :19:19.to catch the keeper off his line. But in truth, Sunderland's
:19:20. > :19:22.experimental back five didn't look comfortable all night and it was no

:19:26. > :19:31.nearly provided the Black Cats with a consolation they probably

:19:45. > :19:50.as I mentioned, Newcastle have a great chance to join
:19:51. > :19:53.Middlesbrough in round four. Tonight the Magpies are at home
:19:54. > :19:56.to Birmingham City in a third-round replay, looking to earn themselves
:19:57. > :20:00.a trip to Oxford United. However the focus of the manager's
:20:01. > :20:02.press conference was not on the match but on his transfer
:20:03. > :20:05.policy, and his relationship with the club's owner,
:20:06. > :20:10.as Jeff Brown reports. If there were fans,
:20:11. > :20:12.and others around the club, who questioned the summer signing
:20:13. > :20:15.of 33-year-old Daryl Murphy, the Irishman has given his
:20:16. > :20:18.answer in recent weeks. First the goal which ultimately
:20:19. > :20:20.earned United their second And then the weekend
:20:21. > :20:26.winner at Brentford, which took Newcastle back to the top
:20:27. > :20:28.of the Championship. The suggestion is that Rafa Benitez
:20:29. > :20:31.has managed to soften a policy which saw the club only signing
:20:32. > :20:34.players with a sell-on value. People think that I like to sign
:20:35. > :20:37.old players and it's not the case. Our team is one of the youngest,
:20:38. > :20:44.or in the middle in terms of average age, in the division
:20:45. > :20:47.so I like to sign young players to develop them, to improve them,
:20:48. > :20:50.and at the same time to sign So you need a player like Murphy,
:20:51. > :20:56.he can make a difference, so he has to be an important player
:20:57. > :21:01.for us during the season, so we will try to do the same
:21:02. > :21:04.and I am confident we can sign Benitez hopes to bring
:21:05. > :21:10.in a couple of new faces before But the reappearance of owner
:21:11. > :21:15.Mike Ashley at recent games has prompted the question -
:21:16. > :21:19.who has the final say? It's a cheeky question
:21:20. > :21:22.that the final say is simple to say so what I need is to be sure
:21:23. > :21:26.we have the list of players I would like to sign
:21:27. > :21:29.and after it is yes or no, it depends on a lot of things,
:21:30. > :21:32.but it is not a problem. The question now is we are working
:21:33. > :21:37.very hard, I am confident we will do well and we will sign what we need
:21:38. > :21:41.and hope fully before the end of the window you will ask me
:21:42. > :21:45.about the new signing or whatever. So the message is -
:21:46. > :21:49.watch this space. And if you're not going to the game,
:21:50. > :21:55.you can see highlights of tonight's replay on a special FA Cup Match
:21:56. > :21:59.of the Day, here on BBC One, straight after our late
:22:00. > :22:03.news bulletin, at 10.45. City of York Council has defeated
:22:04. > :22:06.a legal challenge that it's claimed could have further delayed
:22:07. > :22:09.York's Community Stadium project. A planning judge at London's High
:22:10. > :22:12.Court dismissed a challenge brought by rival cinema operator Vue
:22:13. > :22:15.Entertainment. Vue was contesting the authority's

:22:22. > :22:25.on when the new complex Finally from me, the cricket world
:22:26. > :22:30.is mourning the death, at the age of 76, of Yorkshire
:22:31. > :22:34.bowler Peter Kippax. The leg-spinner played
:22:35. > :22:36.for his native county for 14 years, But for 15 years he played
:22:37. > :22:44.for Durham, in their Minor Counties heyday, before moving
:22:45. > :23:02.across to join neighbours I am hoping that we can get through
:23:03. > :23:08.the weather forecast because you are on an ice rink.
:23:09. > :23:23.If you are hoping for some Torvill and Dean moves then you will be
:23:24. > :23:33.disappointed. The Brownies from Chester-le-Street will be throwing
:23:34. > :23:40.some fancy shapes. Things are relatively mild January as things
:23:41. > :23:50.stand. I felt slightly milder weather might because in problems
:23:51. > :24:00.with the ice rink but apparently they have special chillers. One
:24:01. > :24:06.thing about this plank of -- blanket of cloud is it means the
:24:07. > :24:12.temperatures are pretty flat. An awful lot of cloud tonight, maybe
:24:13. > :24:16.the odd spot of drizzle, poor visibility on high ground
:24:17. > :24:25.especially. But we should be frost free. Only the odd break in the
:24:26. > :24:33.cloud. South-westerly breeze. A bit of a grey and murky and misty start
:24:34. > :24:41.tomorrow. Should be mostly dry and we should see some breaks in the
:24:42. > :24:49.cloud, the exception not the rule. Temperatures tomorrow around 8-9. We
:24:50. > :24:57.maintain that very light south-westerly breeze. The pressure
:24:58. > :25:04.sequence, the breezes coming round to the high-pressure anticyclone
:25:05. > :25:07.which is keeping things settled. It looks like the high-pressure will
:25:08. > :25:12.start to decline but it will hang on through the weekend probably to keep
:25:13. > :25:19.things settled and keep the Atlantic weather fronts at bay. For the next
:25:20. > :25:30.few days, Thursday and Friday, a lot of cloud, generally dry and
:25:31. > :25:35.temperatures in single figures. For the weekend, a subtle change takes
:25:36. > :25:39.place, the cloud will become more broken underneath the centre of the
:25:40. > :25:43.high-pressure so we should see a little more brightness through the
:25:44. > :25:50.day but clearer skies overnight could allow the temperatures to drop
:25:51. > :25:54.cold enough for a touch of frost. Brighter skies for many on Saturday
:25:55. > :26:02.and Sunday but paying the price with colder overnight temperatures. You
:26:03. > :26:11.can keep up-to-date with the BBC weather app and the BBC local radio
:26:12. > :26:12.station. Sorry, no fancy moves tonight but lots of people are
:26:13. > :26:21.enjoying the ice rink here. I can't believe he didn't even trip
:26:22. > :26:24.up once. We were all looking for it.
:26:25. > :26:58.It spoiled the fun bit! Hello. I hope you're well.
:26:59. > :27:02.I really do.
