0:00:41 > 0:00:44It's just gone so quick, uh-huh.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48And it's hard to comprehend, you know?

0:00:48 > 0:00:51As soon as we got the call, we knew it was going to be a big

0:00:51 > 0:00:54call-out and it was a search and rescue, so we launched...

0:00:54 > 0:00:56We usually launch with five people, we actually took nine

0:01:00 > 0:01:02But unfortunately there wasn't a lot we could do.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22For ever and ever, amen.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Work on regenerating a major town centre street in Hartlepool is due

0:01:58 > 0:02:00to start in the New Year.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03The council wants the Church Street area to be at the heart

0:02:03 > 0:02:07of a so-called innovation and skills quarter, rather than

0:02:07 > 0:02:09a drinking destination.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Ian Reeve reports.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Hartlepool's Church Street has seen better times.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Once the preserve of the town's ship owners, it is now a lively

0:02:17 > 0:02:22night-time destination, but slightly the worse for wear.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Now there are plans to change that.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27It is a lively area, but we don't have many independent

0:02:27 > 0:02:30sellers or shops in the area.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32It is very much the night-time economy.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36It may be busy at certain periods but we want that

0:02:36 > 0:02:38dawn till dusk feel, where we are promoting

0:02:38 > 0:02:41local businesses.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Grants to regenerate the buildings have been won.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Cleveland College of Art and Design has invested

0:02:46 > 0:02:49?11 million in a new building.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53In this restaurant on Church Street, the scheme has gone down well,

0:02:53 > 0:02:56but there could be refinements, the owner thinks.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01There could be more things for children to play around

0:03:01 > 0:03:06and I think the council should think about the parking as well.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09A lot of our customers complain about the parking.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12There is nowhere to park.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Work on the new-look Church Street will begin in the New Year,

0:03:15 > 0:03:19with completion by Christmas 2017.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26A chance encounter between schoolgirls from York and Greece

0:03:26 > 0:03:29has led to a plan to help improve the lives of refugees.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33The girls from Mount School in York were so moved when they heard

0:03:33 > 0:03:36of the plight of refugees in Greece, they began collecting

0:03:36 > 0:03:40bags of essential items to send out to the country.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Involving other schools in York, they'd initially hoped to send 50

0:03:43 > 0:03:48rucksacks but ended up with more than 300.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Knowing the cause it was going to and how appreciative these people

0:03:52 > 0:03:58were going to be for this, honestly, it was worthwhile, definitely.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59We did it in our forms.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Every form did two bags for a boy and a girl.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04So we did it like that.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Afterwards, people made their own at home and then we just kept

0:04:07 > 0:04:08on bringing in loads.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10It was amazing.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Let's have the weather forecast now with Paul Hudson.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Hello, good evening.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18We start with a warning of fog, particularly through the Vale

0:04:18 > 0:04:20of York in North Yorkshire, extending into County Durham.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Some poor visibility later tonight.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25All courtesy of high pressure, which means we should

0:04:25 > 0:04:28have a dry rest of the week.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29So, tomorrow, watch out for that fog.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32It could be really quite reluctant to clear across some

0:04:32 > 0:04:33parts of North Yorkshire.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Elsewhere, it's not too bad.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Dry with variable amounts of cloud.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40The best of the sunshine tomorrow across Cumbria and the Lake District

0:04:40 > 0:04:42and along the east coast of ours.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Top temperatures, cold in the fog but near 7 degrees

0:04:45 > 0:04:47in Carlisle and Kendal.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's the forecast.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52And that's all from us.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55We're back with bulletins in Breakfast tomorrow morning.
