:01:34. > :01:36.Our correspondent, Mark Denten, is in Carlisle tonight.
:01:37. > :01:49.It basically depends on you are talking to. Are you talking to the
:01:50. > :01:53.fire service management income area or are you talking to the Fire
:01:54. > :01:59.Brigade union? Let's take a look at what the FBU in Carlisle are saying.
:02:00. > :02:03.They are particularly concerned about Christmas Day, at the back end
:02:04. > :02:09.of last year. Christmas Day night specifically, when they saved there
:02:10. > :02:17.were just four or five full-time firefighters and UD in the entire
:02:18. > :02:24.city of Carlisle. They say that situation was unsafe for people in
:02:25. > :02:27.the city, and they don't wince the -- don't mince their words on this,
:02:28. > :02:31.they say the situation was really dire. That is the response from the
:02:32. > :02:38.union? What other management saying? They
:02:39. > :02:47.accepted those figures of just four or five full-time crews and UD on
:02:48. > :02:50.Christmas Day. They say that back-up crews could be brought in and the
:02:51. > :02:56.instances have fallen by 30% over the last ten years. Was it a dire
:02:57. > :02:59.situation? He was the deputy chief fire officer.
:03:00. > :03:01.That's absolutely ludicrous to suggest we're in a dire situation.
:03:02. > :03:04.Over the Christmas period, we would have, on average,
:03:05. > :03:09.Yes, the union are right to say that,
:03:10. > :03:13.there was only one of the two fire engines available,
:03:14. > :03:15.but what I can say is there is adequate
:03:16. > :03:19.from the nearby retained fire stations, such as Longtown,
:03:20. > :03:30.So what is the minimum number of firefighters needed for a city like
:03:31. > :03:34.Carlisle? The simple answer is there isn't a
:03:35. > :03:42.minimum figure. That is defined by local decisions in the fire service.
:03:43. > :03:43.There is not a national figure. So a question for the deputy chief fire
:03:44. > :03:45.officer from me. Is the line one firefighter
:03:46. > :03:47.on an engine, say? But a lot of services
:03:48. > :03:51.across the country are now looking at reduced crews to low-level
:03:52. > :03:54.incidents, such as rubbish fires, and that is something
:03:55. > :04:01.that we will look at income breath. I think I will go back to my earlier
:04:02. > :04:06.point that, you know, we've got to remember that we got
:04:07. > :04:09.38 fire stations across the county, Every fire engine
:04:10. > :04:11.that is dispatched, does have back-up crews
:04:12. > :04:22.at the same time. Cumbria Fire and rescue service so
:04:23. > :04:24.they are recruiting. In fact, 12 new full-time firefighters. Their
:04:25. > :04:26.training next month, and they will start work on a shift in June of
:04:27. > :04:32.this year. It's already deeply controversial,
:04:33. > :04:35.and divides opinion. And now the owner of one
:04:36. > :04:39.of North Yorkshire's largest tourist attractions says he's worried
:04:40. > :04:41.about the negative impact fracking Nicholas Howard -
:04:42. > :04:45.from Castle Howard, near Malton - says it's taken a long time
:04:46. > :04:47.to change perceptions He fears people could now think
:04:48. > :04:52.twice about paying a visit. Places like Castle Howard are
:04:53. > :04:57.the reason people come to Yorkshire. Last summer, record numbers
:04:58. > :05:02.flocked to the region. But here there's a growing concern
:05:03. > :05:05.that plans to frack for gas could have a detrimental
:05:06. > :05:08.impact on the economy. And there is the whole
:05:09. > :05:14.business of the air quality. And the perceived effect,
:05:15. > :05:16.even if it's not as great as we expect it might be,
:05:17. > :05:19.the perception of it will be great. While Rydale is known as one
:05:20. > :05:22.of the most beautiful places in the country,
:05:23. > :05:25.people are going to flock to it. But if it's known a place
:05:26. > :05:28.where there are endless gas fields, At the moment, only one site
:05:29. > :05:32.in the region has planning permission
:05:33. > :05:33.to carry out the controversial
:05:34. > :05:36.drilling technique. But it's thought shale gas
:05:37. > :05:39.is located under much of Yorkshire. The industry insists existing
:05:40. > :05:41.conventional gas sites and going forward disruption
:05:42. > :05:48.will be temporary. There has certainly been a lot
:05:49. > :05:50.of protest activity, a lot of noise
:05:51. > :05:52.made around our industry. But I do think that gives us
:05:53. > :05:55.a responsibility to show to people that we can produce this
:05:56. > :05:57.in a sensitive way that doesn't have too much
:05:58. > :06:02.of an impact on local people. And that's up to us
:06:03. > :06:05.as an industry to demonstrate. At the moment,
:06:06. > :06:07.much of the noise referred to This one is directly on the route
:06:08. > :06:13.of this year's Tour de Yorkshire. But protesters say they wouldn't
:06:14. > :06:17.be here if the industry wasn't. For the organisation responsible

:07:39. > :07:41.after suggestions the number of over-25s returning to education
:07:42. > :07:43.has been falling. But ministers say they've increased
:07:44. > :07:47.support for apprenticeships, and introduced loans
:07:48. > :07:51.to support older students. Our political correspondent,
:07:52. > :07:54.Luke Walton, has more. They're back to class, even though
:07:55. > :07:57.they left school years ago. Adult education has seen funding

:08:27. > :08:28.there's a new world If you are made redundant,
:08:29. > :08:32.it's not the end of the world. The standards are very high,
:08:33. > :08:36.so that sense of satisfaction, of achieving, getting your pass
:08:37. > :08:42.and your exam pieces and your practical pieces
:08:43. > :08:45.is a fantastic feeling. Here at Hartlepool College,
:08:46. > :08:47.all ages take part in academic But government austerity
:08:48. > :08:52.has had an impact. Fewer students,
:08:53. > :08:53.there's fewer courses. About ten years ago, we were quite
:08:54. > :08:59.vibrant four nights a week. We've cut that down out
:09:00. > :09:01.of three nights a week. But, again, we've got a lot on offer
:09:02. > :09:05.for the adults of Hartlepool, but it's getting more and more
:09:06. > :09:07.difficult to do that with the funding regime
:09:08. > :09:09.that's in place. In a letter to ministers,
:09:10. > :09:11.Labour MPs warn the cuts to adult education are worsening
:09:12. > :09:14.a shortage of skills But the Government's
:09:15. > :09:20.supporters are more positive. We've also got the apprenticeship
:09:21. > :09:23.levy, which will deliver around 3 billion a year by the end
:09:24. > :09:25.of the Parliament, from large employers, to help fund
:09:26. > :09:28.the apprenticeship system. So there is
:09:29. > :09:31.a better financial envelope that should
:09:32. > :09:33.support local education. Never too late to learn,
:09:34. > :09:36.but in a fast-changing world, the challenge is to equip
:09:37. > :09:45.all generations to change with it. More on this on Sunday Politics
:09:46. > :09:50.from 11am this Sunday. The funeral's taken
:09:51. > :09:52.place of John Cummings, He represented the County Durham
:09:53. > :09:59.constituency for 13 years, Among the mourners today
:10:00. > :10:04.were many current Labour MPs from the North East,
:10:05. > :10:07.as Ian Reeve reports. The last journey
:10:08. > :10:11.of the last of a kind. John Cummings was a fifth-generation
:10:12. > :10:17.miner, down the pit at 15. as well as being Easington's
:10:18. > :10:24.Labour MP for 23 years. There's nowhere else
:10:25. > :10:27.in the British coalfield All the pits in the space
:10:28. > :10:39.of five or six miles. John had a lot of problems
:10:40. > :10:44.with the pit closure programme. But he also had a very clear
:10:45. > :10:50.commitment, not just to the Labour Party and socialism,
:10:51. > :10:53.but also to this community. He was also good fun,
:10:54. > :10:56.and he had a wicked sense of humour which was something that brought
:10:57. > :11:00.a human touch to politics But John certainly had that,
:11:01. > :11:05.and cared about people. Mr Cummings was interred
:11:06. > :11:08.in the churchyard Around him, scores of miners killed
:11:09. > :11:13.underground through the years. A surely fitting final resting place
:11:14. > :11:32.for this MP, for this miner. and you're watching

:11:41. > :11:51.David Bowie's North Yorkshire roots. And it's looking mostly dry through
:11:52. > :11:53.this weekend. Some sunshine to be had, but it will be feeling cold.
:11:54. > :11:59.Join me later for the full forecast. Now, he's one of classical music's
:12:00. > :12:02.most famous conductors, known for his performances
:12:03. > :12:06.at the annual Proms concerts, Sir Andrew Davis conducts pieces
:12:07. > :12:10.from three composers for the BBC Philharmonic
:12:11. > :12:14.at the city's Sands Centre. He's been speaking
:12:15. > :12:25.to Mark McAlindon. Sir Andrew Davis splits his time
:12:26. > :12:27.between his home in Chicago and life on the road in Britain
:12:28. > :12:30.and Australia, leading some Today, however, he's back
:12:31. > :12:41.in the land of his birth This evening, his first visit
:12:42. > :12:46.to the border city of Carlisle. This afternoon, he led rehearsals
:12:47. > :12:55.ahead of tonight's performance. I think it's immensely important
:12:56. > :12:58.that the smaller centres are exposed to great
:12:59. > :13:02.live orchestral music. It's terribly important,
:13:03. > :13:05.because you can listen to music on all sorts of media now but,
:13:06. > :13:11.actually, there is no substitute for the experience of
:13:12. > :13:15.a symphony orchestra live. I mean, this is a sports hall,
:13:16. > :13:20.not one of the great halls, if you like, but you think you can
:13:21. > :13:23.create the right atmosphere for those who are coming
:13:24. > :13:26.to the concert tonight? I imagine the acoustic
:13:27. > :13:29.is drier than some places, but I'm sure it will bring
:13:30. > :13:32.lots of clarity. And I'm told the audience here
:13:33. > :13:46.is very enthusiastic and receptive. Still on a musical theme -
:13:47. > :13:49.you might, possibly, associate a couple of music legends
:13:50. > :13:52.with North Yorkshire, but David Bowie probably
:13:53. > :13:57.isn't one of them. Well, just over a year
:13:58. > :13:58.after his death, a one-man play based on the icon
:13:59. > :14:02.is about to tour our region. It's called From Ibiza
:14:03. > :14:04.To The Norfolk Broads - a classic line from
:14:05. > :14:06.the song Life On Mars. A bit closer to home, our reporter,
:14:07. > :14:08.Phil Chapman, has been discovering Bowie's
:14:09. > :14:10.many Yorkshire connections. Since David Bowie died,
:14:11. > :14:17.his life and music have been But it's possibly just die-hard fans
:14:18. > :14:22.who will be aware of and his 104-year-old auntie
:14:23. > :14:29.recently passed away in York. And the man himself was deeply proud
:14:30. > :14:34.of his Yorkshire roots. I've got to tell you,
:14:35. > :14:38.my father was from Yorkshire. Yeah, well, somewhere between
:14:39. > :14:41.Tadcaster, Doncaster and York. So he's from there and my mother's
:14:42. > :14:44.family were from Lancashire. So when I hear someone
:14:45. > :14:46.with your accent, By heck, I've supped
:14:47. > :14:55.some stuff tonight. And Yorkshire fans everywhere
:14:56. > :14:57.can always raise a pint in return Well, we all know about his
:14:58. > :15:03.countless guises and personas over the decades, and a poignant
:15:04. > :15:06.play about David Bowie features just one actor onstage,
:15:07. > :15:11.playing nine different characters. And it's about to start touring
:15:12. > :15:13.across North Yorkshire The main character in the story
:15:14. > :15:24.is trying to find his dad Obviously, that's got
:15:25. > :15:30.quite a strong connection who came from the North
:15:31. > :15:34.Yorkshire region. David always wanted to come back
:15:35. > :15:37.here and wanted to perform here, and it was always something
:15:38. > :15:39.that he had a passion for. That's why it's
:15:40. > :15:41.such a fantastic experience to be able to perform
:15:42. > :15:44.in North Yorkshire. Alex is about to bring his one-man
:15:45. > :15:46.play to York, Richmond, Sunderland and Hartlepool and,
:15:47. > :15:49.after rave reviews in London, it starts in North Yorkshire at the
:15:50. > :16:05.Helmsley Arts Centre on Saturday. Middlesbrough hope to edge a little
:16:06. > :16:08.closer to Premier League safety when they host a revitalised
:16:09. > :16:10.West Ham at the Riverside tomorrow. Second-bottom Sunderland,
:16:11. > :16:14.following their midweek cup exit, face another tough away test,
:16:15. > :16:18.this time at West Brom. either due to injury
:16:19. > :16:22.or the Africa Cup of Nations - 11 players, at least half
:16:23. > :16:27.of whom would command a place David Moyes has had a few
:16:28. > :16:32.bitter pills to swallow The limited funds for January
:16:33. > :16:38.transfers and an injury list contining several long-term
:16:39. > :16:40.absentees to name just two. One player on the verge
:16:41. > :16:43.of a comeback is striker Victor Anichebe, who's physical
:16:44. > :16:46.presence is desperately needed. We really missed Victor,
:16:47. > :16:52.because we're limited in how we can If we play really good football
:16:53. > :16:56.and pass it through the lines and through the midfield
:16:57. > :16:59.and into the forward players, then we're limited on how we can get
:17:00. > :17:05.to the front line quickly. Moyes, who revealed that another
:17:06. > :17:09.free agent, Joleon Lescott, has been training with the club,
:17:10. > :17:12.admits he always knew the start of the year could prove to be
:17:13. > :17:16.the toughest part of the season. January was going to be difficult
:17:17. > :17:19.for us, with us losing three players We have already discussed the
:17:20. > :17:32.injuries. So it was always going
:17:33. > :17:34.to make it a tough month With the club already saying
:17:35. > :17:38.they would be a limited budget to spend in January,
:17:39. > :17:40.it meant that, for us, But we should be getting boys back
:17:41. > :17:44.from the African Nations in the next couple of weeks,
:17:45. > :17:46.and one or two more Hopefully that will help
:17:47. > :17:49.push what we've got. Meanwhile, Aitor Karanka,
:17:50. > :17:51.who this week added ex on-loan forward Patrick Bamford
:17:52. > :17:53.to his squad, could be hoping another striker isn't available
:17:54. > :17:56.to West Ham this weekend Andy Carroll is capable
:17:57. > :17:58.of the spectacular but isn't the only threat to
:17:59. > :18:01.the Boro back four. With players like them,
:18:02. > :18:03.we'll have problems. But then we'll have to
:18:04. > :18:05.figure it out ourselves, We're playing at home,
:18:06. > :18:14.so we have to try and play our best and try to stop him,
:18:15. > :18:17.stop them getting the ball to him. But behind him is Antonio,
:18:18. > :18:22.there's a lot of players. It's top versus bottom
:18:23. > :18:29.in the Championship when Newcastle take
:18:30. > :18:31.on Rotherham tomorrow, unless Brighton regain
:18:32. > :18:34.the number one spot tonight. And this Korean fan snapped
:18:35. > :18:38.by a supporter at the FA Cup game on Wednesday has travelled
:18:39. > :18:42.5,500 miles to watch it. League positions suggest it should
:18:43. > :18:47.be plain sailing for the Magpies, but The Millers forced the leaders
:18:48. > :18:49.to grind out a victory Christian Atsu scored Newcastle's
:18:50. > :18:55.winner back in the Autumn but Rotherham didn't give them
:18:56. > :18:57.an easy ride. Interim boss Paul Warne
:18:58. > :18:59.says his side will go down as legends if they beat
:19:00. > :19:03.Newcastle at St James' Park, much as Iceland did when they beat
:19:04. > :19:05.England in the Euros. To be fair, it's something
:19:06. > :19:08.that we have seen during the whole season, so we play against teams
:19:09. > :19:11.that give almost everything you watch the games before
:19:12. > :19:16.and after, and there's a big difference in terms
:19:17. > :19:21.of their approach. But if you are in the top
:19:22. > :19:24.five of the division, So I'm happy because that means
:19:25. > :19:29.they consider us very strong. But, at the same time,
:19:30. > :19:32.we also have to give a little Jonjo Shelvey's performance
:19:33. > :19:39.in the Magpies midweek FA Cup win showed just how much he's been
:19:40. > :19:42.missed during his five-game ban and the players
:19:43. > :19:44.are delighted to have him back. He can do things that other players
:19:45. > :19:50.in the team can't do. If we had 11 Jonjo Shelveys,
:19:51. > :19:54.then the team wouldn't work. If we had 11 Isaac Haydens,
:19:55. > :19:56.the team wouldn't work. So it's about getting the balance
:19:57. > :19:58.right and, obviously, he brings that certain balance
:19:59. > :20:01.to the team and it was good to see him play so well
:20:02. > :20:04.on Wednesday night and hopefully Benitez is remaining tight-lipped
:20:05. > :20:07.over speculation linking Andros Townsend with a return
:20:08. > :20:10.to Newcastle but says there's no truth in the rumour that goalkeepers
:20:11. > :20:13.Rob Elliot may be loaned out and Tim Krul may return
:20:14. > :20:17.from a loan spell at Ajax. In League Two, Carlisle
:20:18. > :20:20.are at Accrington Stanley tomorrow, looking to end a run of three
:20:21. > :20:23.games without a win. And Hartlepool take on Stevenage
:20:24. > :20:25.with new manager-to-be Dave Jones Sam Collins will be in charge,
:20:26. > :20:35.before Jones officially steps back into management on Monday,
:20:36. > :20:37.after a three-year break. Well, I haven't been
:20:38. > :20:38.out of football. I've been in football in some
:20:39. > :20:41.capacity, but I just haven't been in the dressing
:20:42. > :20:43.room, as such. But everything else that surrounds
:20:44. > :20:53.it, I thought it might be something I wanted to do,
:20:54. > :20:56.but the lure of being in the dugout and hopefully doing what I do best
:20:57. > :21:01.is what brought me back. In basketball, Newcastle Eagles
:21:02. > :21:04.are back in league action tonight - after lifting the BBL Trophy last
:21:05. > :21:07.week, for the third year running. They'll be parading
:21:08. > :21:09.the trophy ahead of the game against Worcester Wolves
:21:10. > :21:11.at Sport Central, and that's a match you can see,
:21:12. > :21:14.live, on the BBC Sport website, Player coach Fab Flournoy will be
:21:15. > :21:21.hoping his side can avoid a repeat of last year's defeat by Wolves that
:21:22. > :21:24.followed the Eagles' Cup victory. Newcastle are still top of the
:21:25. > :21:27.table, but rivals Leicester Riders are just two points behind them
:21:28. > :21:30.with a game in hand. Now, he's already led
:21:31. > :21:33.a war on food waste, and called for more
:21:34. > :21:36.compassion in farming. Well, the celebrity chef
:21:37. > :21:38.Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is launching
:21:39. > :21:40.a new social experiment, and it's being launched
:21:41. > :21:43.in Newcastle. And I'm delighted to say Hugh
:21:44. > :21:45.has come all the way from River Cottage to be with us,
:21:46. > :21:56.here in the studio, to tell us more. What is it all about? Well, it is a
:21:57. > :22:01.fantastic opportunity for a whole city to come together and tackle
:22:02. > :22:05.something that we know is a serious problem in this country, and it's
:22:06. > :22:08.the problem of people being overweight, the obesity crisis is
:22:09. > :22:14.talked about all the time. But we're not making much progress. Within the
:22:15. > :22:17.next ten years, Britain, if it carries on this trajectory, will be
:22:18. > :22:22.the fattest country in Europe. So we need to take action, and there are
:22:23. > :22:28.no easy answers. What I am hoping is that a great city like Newcastle,
:22:29. > :22:32.coming together, the community spirit, the city that brought the
:22:33. > :22:35.Great North Run to Britain, I think Newcastle can do something
:22:36. > :22:46.remarkable. It is about people supporting each other and trying to
:22:47. > :22:51.get past that taboo of talking about weight. Is it a very unhealthy city?
:22:52. > :22:54.It is not exceptionally unhealthy, but it is in line with those
:22:55. > :23:00.national trends. Nearly two thirds of us now are overweight, roughly
:23:01. > :23:04.30% classed as obese. This is the point at which your weight becomes a
:23:05. > :23:12.threat to your health. So if we do this coming Newcastle could become a
:23:13. > :23:23.healthier city. I have a little money to put into the pot. You will
:23:24. > :23:30.have two start tomorrow. I have some emotional material for the campaign.
:23:31. > :23:35.If you sign up for the website here in Newcastle, you are taking part,
:23:36. > :23:38.and we will be here, I will be coming back to Newcastle regularly
:23:39. > :23:40.throughout the day, and we will see if this city, in the course of the
:23:41. > :23:56.next year, can lose 100,000 to won in weight. How
:23:57. > :24:03.much is that? It could be 10,000 people losing ten lbs in weight. If
:24:04. > :24:09.we get there, we will be making an impact on the health of the city. We
:24:10. > :24:15.will get statistics we can measure and improvements. It is a problem
:24:16. > :24:20.for GPs all over Britain. We need to get it out in the open and get
:24:21. > :24:23.people brave enough to get people to take action and support each other
:24:24. > :24:33.while they are doing it. Is it that all sugar -- is it that all sugar,
:24:34. > :24:37.which is worse? The short answer is probably sugar. It is about changing
:24:38. > :24:42.habits, and that is where your friendship and support group comes
:24:43. > :24:50.in. We will be in touch with some of the big employers in the city,
:24:51. > :24:54.trying to get their employees involved. It is great to be out in
:24:55. > :24:58.the city, meeting people. If any city in the UK can do it, it is
:24:59. > :25:03.Newcastle. Great stuff. We will be following it with interest.
:25:04. > :25:11.Someone else who keeps fit with the London Marathon, Jennifer has the
:25:12. > :25:20.weather. We have had a lot of cloud this
:25:21. > :25:23.week, but as we can see from this picture, the sunshine was starting
:25:24. > :25:27.to break through. We will see some decent spells of sunshine this
:25:28. > :25:33.weekend. It will be mostly dry, but it is going to be feeling cold.
:25:34. > :25:36.Let's take a look at these things this evening and overnight. We have
:25:37. > :25:39.had a bearing that a cloud which is moving northwards. Clear skies
:25:40. > :25:43.overnight, leading to a widespread frost. They might be some patchy
:25:44. > :25:52.mist and fog as well. Temperatures in town about freezing, but in rural
:25:53. > :25:57.spots, -2 minus three degrees. A crisp start to Saturday morning.
:25:58. > :26:02.Beautiful blue sunshine. But we will see the cloud pushing in through the
:26:03. > :26:06.afternoon. For parts of North Yorkshire, by 3pm, we will start to
:26:07. > :26:09.see some outbreaks of light rain or drizzle. As we come to North
:26:10. > :26:14.Northumberland, it will still be quite bright, and Cumbria has
:26:15. > :26:17.sparkling blue sunshine through the afternoon. Temperatures around four
:26:18. > :26:24.or five Celsius. The cloud spreads to or parts overnight. They might be
:26:25. > :26:31.some patches of drizzle, falling as snow over a higher grounds, and
:26:32. > :26:36.temperatures down to freezing or just above. Another cold start to
:26:37. > :26:43.Sunday morning. Mostly dry, with some cloud around, but that will
:26:44. > :26:49.break through the afternoon. Again, the swells of sunshine. Cooler
:26:50. > :26:55.again, for five the maximum. The high pressure that has been keeping
:26:56. > :27:00.everything settled stays in place. It is not until the middle part of
:27:01. > :27:03.the week that we start to see some more weather fronts pushing in from
:27:04. > :27:09.the Atlantic, and things turned breezy. As we go through Monday and
:27:10. > :27:13.Tuesday, we looking at things staying settled. The high pressure
:27:14. > :27:17.is still in place. Monday is another crisp, cold day, with Bagheera
:27:18. > :27:22.spells of sunshine. It looks lovely, dry and settled. Again, dry on
:27:23. > :27:22.Tuesday but with more cloud. Temperatures are starting to creep
:27:23. > :27:34.up. Just before we go, if you want to
:27:35. > :27:44.join Hugh's campaign, he will be in Newcastle. Goodbye.
:27:45. > :27:57.TV: He's not your father. WOMAN GASPS
