In the headlines tonight: No school today. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Teachers strike in protest at the running of their academy. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
This upmarket arcade company says it'll pull out, | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
if new shops are built on the edge of town. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
It's Ant and Dec OBE, but who was first in line | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
And Dome Sweet Dome - work at Spanish City is well | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
underway on the long-awaited redevelopment. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
In sport, Boro and Newcastle hope to avoid a big cup upset - | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
something the mighty Glasgow Rangers couldn't manage at | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
To come here and get beat, that has got to be the biggest shock ever in | :00:37. | :00:48. | |
Scottish football. Teachers at a troubled school | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
in west Cumbria have It's in protest at the | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
actions of its sponsor, Staff at the Whitehaven Academy say | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
the Trust has led the school into special measures, | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
and is failing the pupils there. But Bright Tribe insists | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
it IS improving standards. Later we'll be examining the wider | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
implications of the dispute. But first, Mark McAlindon | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
has this report. This is the second day | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
of strike action this week involving three trade unions, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
teachers here fulfilling a threat first made before Christmas to use | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
industrial action to force changes. I think it's a massive decision, | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
particularly for ATL, this is the first strike | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
we've ever had locally, we've only had two strikes | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
in 125 years. We've had local ones in other areas | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
but this is the first in Cumbria. Staff say the Bright Tribe Trust | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
has broken its promises to improve the school, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
has left buildings to decay and allowed it to drift | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
into special measures. The teachers here don't | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
want to go on strike. We recognise that it can be | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
inconvenient for some people, but we do need to see progress here, | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
because actually, one day, if we see substantial | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
improvement in the school, The Bright Tribe Trust told us | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
they didn't have anyone available for interview but did | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
provide a statement. It said Bright Tribe is fully | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
committed to working with all staff and trade unions in order to improve | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
standards and provide a good level of education for students | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
at the Whitehaven Academy. Some parents too have joined | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
in, trying to increase We've collected over | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
1,000 signatures from for the teachers and what they're | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
doing, they actually have taken, cos a lot of the parents feel very | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
strongly about what's been happening the school | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
and we want to show our Well, I'm joined now | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
by our political And you've uncovered | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
new evidence of the strength of local feeling about Whitehaven | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Academy. I have obtained a copy of a scathing | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
letter from the MP to the Bright Tribe Trust. He stood down as MP on | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Monday but this is a letter he sent last month and in it, he describes | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Bright Tribe Trust as distrusted and heated in the local community. He | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
says it is in the best interests to pull out of the school. Strong | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
words. Who will make the final decision? It is a central Government | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
and not the local council that has the power to intervene in feeling | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
academies but the processors and straightforward. I've been finding | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
out more about how academies work. Introduced by Labour, academies have | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
proliferated under the Conservatives and there are no more than 300 | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
across the region, more than half our secondaries, one in eight | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
primaries. Academies are independent of council control, but taxpayer | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
funded. They are run by education charity is known as Academy trusts. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Supporters say their freedom in areas like the curriculum improves | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
results for pupils, but that's disputed by critics, who say bright | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
-- Bright Tribe Trust is just a number of trusts facing problems. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
The school also has buildings in Stockport, Manchester Essex and | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Suffolk. There is the power to put any different sponsor instead but | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Bright Tribe Trust have already lined up to take over other schools | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
in Northumberland and Sunderland saw such a move would be embarrassing. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
There's also a shortage of Academy sponsors across the regions of | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
finding an alternative backer at Whitehaven could proved difficult. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
And the Government said tonight it is working with Bright Tribe Trust | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
to address underperformance at Whitehaven Academy. It added that if | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
it wasn't satisfied with the improvements, further action will be | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
taken. And there is another school in trouble in our region. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Newcastle's largest school, Heaton Manor, with more than a hundred | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
pupils, and Whitehaven Academy has been placed in special measures and | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
judged inadequate by Ofsted in terms of leading, teaching and behaviour. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
The trust insists improvements under way but because it is a local | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
authority school under Government rules, they say it faces being | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
forced to become an academy to raise standards but as the Whitehaven | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
experience shows, becoming an academy doesn't always mean an end | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
to your troubles. It's created 500 jobs and invested | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
?35 million in Morpeth. But the property company | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
which developed the Sanderson Arcade shopping centre could sell up | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
and leave the town. It objects to a planned | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
new retail park on the site of the old County Hall, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
claiming it'll take shoppers away Our business correspondent | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
Ian Reeve reports. Morpeth's Sanderson Arcade, | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
a shopping centre that is created 500 jobs since opening in 2006, | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
but its property company owner to be -- could be on the verge | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
of selling up, dismayed on the edge of town, | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
and Hannah, running a baking business in the arcade, | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
doesn't like the idea either. If it does go ahead, | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
it's going to ruin some of the hustle and bustle of Morpeth, | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
it's got quite a nice reputation as a market town, | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
it would be a shame to see it go. The retail park would be | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
here on the current site of Northumberland County Council's | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
County Hall after it sells the land. A new school would be built | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
as well as 200 homes. Joan and Ken have many | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
concerns over the scheme, but claim the county | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
council won't discuss them. They have refused repeatedly | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
to come and talk to us. We have a forum where we're supposed | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
to be talking to the county council We have specifically invited them | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
again just before Christmas The town has got a fantastic | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
functioning town centre and for the last 30 years, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
up and down the country, towns have been really hit hard | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
by out-of-town retailing and we just feel that this is a wrong | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
proposal for Morpeth. Monday is the last day for people | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
to have their say on the scheme and the county council said it can't | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
say anything at the planning A spokesman did however add that | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
in the interests of impartiality, I should stay that Monday | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
is the last day for public consultation, rather | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
than the last day for objections. In case people want to make | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
supportive comments. Well, currently, 1,065 | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
people have objected. The new Ukip leader Paul Nuttall | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
was in West Cumbria to support his party's candidate in next month's | :08:06. | :08:17. | |
Copeland by-election. Mr Nuttall, who's a North West MEP, | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
is himself standing in the Stoke by-election, but he denied that | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Copeland was a lower As part of the first | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
test of my leadership. We are campaigning very | :08:28. | :08:37. | |
hard in the constituency and we are confident that we'll put | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
over a good result and will improve The Government's new industrial | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
strategy is promising investment for our region, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
with ?13 million going to Cumbria, 22 million to the Tees Valley | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
and just under 50 million But will any of the benefits be felt | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
in other parts of the area, which are struggling to cope | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
with the loss of traditional, David Macmillan has been | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
to East Cleveland to investigate. Ironstone mined in the hills | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
here powered Teesside's In the villages of East Cleveland | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
there are signs that it was prosperous once, | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
but not so prosperous now. So can the Government's industrial | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
strategy really have an impact There's a lot of diverse people | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
around here with good ideas, We want to see Loftus pickup | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
because it's a good place with a lot of good people, | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
hard-working people, but it's like everybody is down, | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
worried about jobs. Hundreds of jobs have been lost | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
here at Boulby in recent years, but the pot ash mine remains | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
a big employer. The boss here believes | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
the industrial strategy can help them move on, | :09:52. | :09:52. | |
with a local focus on technology. East Cleveland's got | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
a long history of strong, industrial support of the country | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
and with the right funding and the right focus, | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
we can continue to build When the steelworks closed in nearby | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Redcar the lack of a clear strategy on steel was of the reasons blamed | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
for its collapse. The steel industry survives | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
in Skinningrove and new owners have But union reps say they | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
need practical support from the Government, | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
like using British steel for big We can make the steel, | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
we can make the product, which they seem to want | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
to buy from abroad. There's a general consensus that | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
developing an industrial strategy But some the Government has work | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
to do to convince some here that it does enough to make | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
a real difference. And there's more on that | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
and all the week's political That's this Sunday morning, | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
here on BBC One, at 11 o'clock. Just two days after the National | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Television Awards named them Best TV Presenters for the 16th year | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
running, Ant and Dec were at Buckingham Palace | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
this morning to collect For once they appeared separately - | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
with Dec going first - to receive their OBEs | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
from the Prince of Wales. The Newcastle pair, who met as young | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
actors on the children's TV show Byker Grove, | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
were each given the honour for "services to entertainment | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
and broadcasting." Still to come, Dawn has | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
all the weekend sport including Plus: Sister Act - | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
the two sisters who helped scores of Jewish refugees | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
by hoodwinking the Nazis. It is going to be cold this weekend. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
I'll have the full weather forecast. It's an iconic seaside landmark - | :11:50. | :12:03. | |
a place where thousands of people But in recent years, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Whitley Bay's Spanish City has hit hard times, and plans to revive it | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
have fallen by the wayside. Now, though, work's begun | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
to restore its famous dome and it's hoped this will bring visitors back | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
to one of our great coastal resorts. These were the days, | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
long before the holiday crowds disappeared, of course, | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
and Tyneside's Spanish Now though the builders | :12:33. | :12:33. | |
are in and the revival starts here. We've taken out the intermediate | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
supporting steelwork and intermediate flooring | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
and the building you see now is what it was originally | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
constructed to be like in 1910 Is it quite intricate in terms | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
of what you've got to do to restore It is, it's a listed building, | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
it's very complicated, it needs a lot of time spent | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
in the planning stage to get everything right | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
because there's a number of legal You could get married | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
here in due course as well. Today Whitley Bay residents got | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
a chance to see the work under way. It's really impressive, it's good | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
to see back in this condition. We've been watching what they've | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
been doing, willing them We want to use this, | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
it's a great idea. You do get a sense of the faded | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
glory on this building site. The heyday of seaside towns | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
like Whitley Bay are long gone, but this project is part of not just | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
restoring this building, but making the whole of this | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
coastline more attractive in the future, which many people | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
feel is long overdue. His grandma said to me, | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
when are you going to do When I was little, I used to come | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
with my mum and my grandma and it was a fantastic day, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
and you go there now and there's nothing, | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
so I know she will be pleased. The building team as well know this | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
is a special kind of job. I used to come down here as a child | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
and to be standing here working Down the years refurbishment | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
plans here have come This time, Spanish City looks | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
finally set to face the future. Sunderland have lost | :14:20. | :14:37. | |
two more players, Dawn. Yes, one temporarily and one | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
permanently and he's So you'd hope David Moyes has got | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
a replacement up his sleeve. Sunderland will be without | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
Papy Djilobodji for the next four games after his appeal against an FA | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
charge for violent The 28-year-old had denied | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
the charge following this incident involving | :14:53. | :15:01. | |
West Brom's Darren Fletcher in Sunderland's 2-0 defeat | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
on Saturday but was found guilty And goal-scoring defender Patrick | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
van Aanholt is set to be reunited with former Black Cats boss | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
Sam Allardyce at Crystal Palace He's had a medical today | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
after the clubs agreed a deal that It was a major saviour | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
in our run last season. I think his contribution in terms | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
of assists and goals was massive. When it came to defending, | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
he got better with me and listened to what we told him | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
about whether the weaker side of his game was and he took that | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
on board and made stronger so we got a very good player with great | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
energy and I look forward Middlesbrough and Newcastle | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
are our only teams left in the FA Cup and both will be hoping not | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
to fall victim to a giant killing After beating Championship side | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Sheffield Wednesday in the last round Premier League Middlesbrough | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
take on League Two Accrington Stanley at the Riverside | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
with new signings Patrick Bamford And it's a game boss Aitor Karanka | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
isn't taking lightly. For me, the game is going to be | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the same importance, because I know how important this | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
trophy is in this country and for every single club | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
here and I will try to win the game. We are better than them | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
and we can win the game, but if we go to the pitch thinking | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
we are facing a team which is down the table in the league, | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
we're making a big mistake. Newcastle United are no strangers | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
to FA Cup upsets and they haven't not gone beyond the fourth | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
round of the competition since the 2005-06 season | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
in which manager Rafa Benitez won He's keen to progress | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
with careful squad rotation and without jeopardising | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
the Magpies' promotion campaign. Rafa Benitez still hopes | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
to strengthen his squad well before But he again wouldn't be drawn | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
on possible transfer targets, including ex-Magpie Andros Townsend, | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
who won't be joining any club on loan according | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
to the Crystal Palace boss Sam They like him but at the moment, no | :17:13. | :17:26. | |
news. We're happy with the squad but at the same time, we have to try to | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
find something that can give us balance and improve the team if | :17:31. | :17:31. | |
possible. Regarding tomorrow's | :17:32. | :17:31. | |
League One hosts Oxford, who knocked out Championship | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
strugglers Rotherham in the third round, Benitez, | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
who could welcome back striker Aleksander Mitrovic from injury, | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
is understandably wary. A team like this in the middle of | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
the table, for them, it is a massive game to play against Newcastle | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
United. The way they will approach the game, I'm quite worried about | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
that, but at the same time I have confidence in my team and we can | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
win, but I expect a very tough game. In League Two Carlisle | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
are still looking for their first win of the new year when they face | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
play-off chasing Barnet And Dave Jones takes charge | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
of his first game as new Hartlepool boss away at bottom club Newport | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
County. Former Newcastle and Sunderland | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
striker Michael Chopra who played under Jones at Cardiff has been | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
training with Hartlepool but only to regain his fitness before | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
returning to play in India. Jones's focus is on building on last | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
week's win to take his side further We'll be doing everything | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
in our power to make sure that we move up the table and take | :18:29. | :18:40. | |
that feeling away, We're trying to get out of it | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
and we have to start again on Saturday and try and get | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
the points as we did last Saturday. It was the classic David | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
versus Goliath cup tie. A team of part-time footballers - | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
including a builder, joiner, plumber, electrician, | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
mining engineer, civil servants and a council administrator - | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
up against one of the best Still the biggest cup upset | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
in Scottish football history and, 50 years on, players from both sides | :19:03. | :19:16. | |
got back together in Berwick for a reunion dinner | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
to mark the anniversary. OLD VOICE-OVER: | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Scottish Cup first round. Together again on the same ground | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
where underdogs Berwick Rangers beat the mighty Glasgow Rangers to send | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
shockwaves around The only goal scored by the late | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
Sammy Reid in a first round cup tie which one player on the losing side | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
failed to finish. The first time I've been back in 50 | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
years and I broke my ankle. I was lying in the hospital | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
and it was just one bad day. I kept asking the score | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
and the nurse came in me it was 1-0 for Rangers, | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
and And she said no, it's not, | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
it's Berwick Rangers! And I played in the European final | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
and Cup Winners Final in Nuremberg and we also got beat 1-0 | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
there so 1967 wasn't... Actually, it was a good year, | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
because my daughter was born that year and that made up | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
for the disappointment. Jock Wallace said to me | :20:20. | :20:20. | |
because I was the youngest in the team, stand in the tunnel, | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
wait for the Rangers players to come in, rub | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
shoulders with them, You can imagine 13,500 people | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
impacting your wee ground like that, Given that it was probably as great | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
as the population of the town European soccer was the top | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
of the world so obviously Rangers within the top ten in the world | :20:45. | :20:54. | |
so come to England, the North of England and get defeated | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
by part-time players from Berwick Rangers, | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
that's the way it goes! It was in the papers, | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
everybody was ringing me up, It was just huge in the town, | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
especially for me And 50 years on, everybody | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
is still talking about it. Everybody is still talking about it | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
and everybody comes up to me We spoke about what a year | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
that was in '67 when Celtic won the European Cup and Scotland beat | :21:22. | :21:33. | |
the 1967 World Cup team and from what I gather, | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
the whole of the Berwick Rangers team went down to watch that game | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
at Wembley and stayed at some dodgy And if you've been | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
missing your rugby league, Newcastle Thunder host Whitehaven | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
in a pre-season friendly Now, across the world, | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
events have been taking place to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
the anniversary of the liberation And on Wearside, the day's | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
been remembered with Yes, a special blue plaque has been | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
unveiled in Sunderland to honour the Cook sisters who were born | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
in the city. In the run-up to World War Two, | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
the women helped rescue The cook sisters's a stormy efforts | :22:18. | :22:43. | |
to help dues from Nasa Germany are still remembered. | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
-- Nazi Germany. I am very proud of the local heroes and it is good to | :22:52. | :23:05. | |
remember these two ladies who did tremendous things. their visits to | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
Germany began in 1937, a dangerous time for Jewish people who lived | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
there. Under the noses of the Nazis, the sisters are smuggled out | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
valuable possessions for Jewish families like diamonds and furs. It | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
allowed them to afford immigration papers and buy their way to freedom. | :23:36. | :23:46. | |
In 1860 -- 1967 she told Radio 4 that... People die because they had | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
complicated stories. Our story was we were nervous British spinsters | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
who didn't trust our family at home as we went -- when we went abroad we | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
took all our agility. It was a disguise that proved effective, with | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
their nieces and nephews today travelling to Sunderland to remember | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
their acts of heroism. It was the right thing to do. These people in | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
trouble and they did what they could do to help them. The fact that they | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
were Jewish did not enter into it. a feature film about the story is | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
being considered. Their courage is today being recognised in their home | :24:26. | :24:26. | |
city. Time for the weather forecast. It | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
has been freezing lately. It was another cold day today. Some | :24:37. | :24:52. | |
temperatures haven't got above freezing today, Durham and Morpeth | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
were at 0 Celsius. Other parts are around one or two Celsius but it is | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
company that has fared the best with temperatures around four to six | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
Celsius and Cumbria sees the first of the milder weather through the | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
weekend. Things are set to change. It is going to be less cold. It's by | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
no means a mild weekend but less colder than it has been. They will | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
be outbreaks of rain at a time, starting through this evening and | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
then there will be some sunny spells to be had as well, mostly Saturday | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
afternoon and Sunday morning. This is the map tonight. We start off | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
with a lot of cloud, some mist and murk Andy weather front will bring | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
outbreaks of rain through the night and over the hills and higher | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
ground, we could see a touch of sleet and snow. An early frost by | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
5am and dentures will be down to one or two Celsius. For Saturday, -- | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
temperatures will be down. For Saturday, cold and heavy rain but | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
through the afternoon it will start to dry up in places but a few | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
showers will be left behind. Brightness into east and Cumbria by | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
the afternoon but where we get the showers, it could be following as | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
sleet over the tops of the Pennines, temperatures across the northeast | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
around five or six Celsius so it will still feel cold but much less | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
cold than it has been today. As we head through Saturday night and into | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Sunday, we'll have a frost once again. A few showers here and there | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
but by and large it's a dry night to come with dentures dropping down to | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
one or two Celsius -- temperatures. This weather front will bring | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
outbreaks of rain on Sunday. There is uncertainty as to how far north | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
as weather front is going to move and if it moves across as it will | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
bring rain. Our current thinking on Sunday, it starts off dry and | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
bright. Some lovely spells of sunshine through the morning but by | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
Sunday afternoon we think the cloud will move in and there will be | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
outbreaks of rain, temperatures at a high of five or six Celsius but | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
under the cloud and rain, part of Cumbria could get up to seven | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Celsius. We will keep you updated over the next few days about exactly | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
how far that rain is going to come. As we head into the start of next | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
week, we continue to move into the milder air and it will be quite | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
unsettled so expect some cloud and rain at times and temperatures will | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
get up to 11 Celsius. Have a great weekend. We'll see you | :27:30. | :27:39. | |
on Monday. | :27:40. | :27:44. |
