:02:32. > :02:34.believer in the fairness of the British justice system,
:02:35. > :02:36.and is confident that it will find him innocent
:02:37. > :02:39.of these unfounded charge. The 14-year-old alleged victim

:03:08. > :03:08.a dark side persisted. Soon after that first trial,
:03:09. > :03:13.in 1997, two more men came forward to allege they too had been abused
:03:14. > :03:20.by Colin Gregg in the 1960s. A judge back then decided those
:03:21. > :03:23.cases couldn't go any further. Former headmaster of a school
:03:24. > :03:33.in Tynemouth has been arrested on suspicion
:03:34. > :03:36.of a historic sexual offence. Police raided his home
:03:37. > :03:39.in Newcastle on Saturday. He was taken in for questioning,
:03:40. > :03:43.and has now been released on bail. We can now report that in 2016,
:03:44. > :03:50.Gregg went on trial accused of 26 counts of indecent assault on nine
:03:51. > :03:55.boys at Newcastle Crown Court. He was found not guilty
:03:56. > :03:59.on 11 of those charges, but the jury couldn't
:04:00. > :04:02.decide on others. And so, this year,
:04:03. > :04:05.a retrial was held in Leeds. This time, he was charged with nine
:04:06. > :04:08.counts of indecent assault on four boys over a period
:04:09. > :04:14.of almost 30 years. Gregg had denied abusing one boy
:04:15. > :04:19.in a swimming pool in the 60s, and others in the gym of his home
:04:20. > :04:22.after going four runs He'd said he was performing
:04:23. > :04:28.stretching exercises on them. One, then aged 11 or 12,
:04:29. > :04:32.described what happened to. I had a huge amount of respect
:04:33. > :04:36.and admiration for him. To think he might be up
:04:37. > :04:40.to wrong was inconceivable. I was absolutely mortified,
:04:41. > :04:48.and hugely embarrassed. The guilty verdicts

:20:07. > :20:11.reason. A fantastic run. At the same time, so are we. We had good results
:20:12. > :20:15.of late, and we need to make sure we go there with confidence we've

:25:08. > :25:12.It's not as bad as it blocks. We will see some rain at times this
:25:13. > :25:16.weekend. It's ready with most of the north-east and Cumbria. It will be
:25:17. > :25:20.fairly cloudy. Some outbreaks of rain, but there should be some
:25:21. > :25:23.sunshine as well. Do this evening and overnight, unquestionably we
:25:24. > :25:26.have the rain with us. It will be heavy at times, quite a breeze
:25:27. > :25:30.coming in from the east, but as we progress through the night, the rain
:25:31. > :25:35.breaks up. There will be mist and mud patches, further rain into

:25:51. > :25:54.better. More dry and bright with spells of sunshine. Across Cumbria
:25:55. > :25:58.on Saturday afternoon, it will be fairly cloudy. Temperatures around
:25:59. > :26:03.eight Celsius. For the north-east, we are more likely to see some
:26:04. > :26:06.spells of sunshine. Temperatures around eight or 9 degrees. Not
:26:07. > :26:12.actually feeling too bad in that sunshine. The cloud will tend to
:26:13. > :26:15.come and go throughout the day. Through Saturday night, its great to
:26:16. > :26:18.start with but we will see some further showers pushing into
:26:19. > :26:22.Cumbria, eventually spreading across to the north-east as we go through
:26:23. > :26:26.the night. It will be fairly mild, the temperature falling back to
:26:27. > :26:30.around five Celsius. Sunday looks like another fairly mixed day. We
:26:31. > :26:34.have showers to start with, but there will be some brighter spells
:26:35. > :26:37.as well. The best of the brightness across the north-east, but will
:26:38. > :26:41.become cloudy by the afternoon. We all see some showers at some point

:27:17. > :27:21.into double figures by the afternoon. For Sunday, some spells
:27:22. > :27:25.of rain but we should see some sunny spells in between. Similar for the
:27:26. > :27:29.north-east, not too bad. A wet start to the weekend, some showers on
:27:30. > :27:33.Sunday but in between, plenty of dry and bright weather. Thank you very
:27:34. > :27:37.much! A couple of weeks ago saying it's spring already! That's the one
