Good evening.

0:00:100:00:11

A service has been held in Fleetwood on the north-west coast to mark

0:00:110:00:15

the tenth anniversary of the Morecambe Bay helicopter crash.

0:00:150:00:18

Seven men died in the accident, including three from the north-east.

0:00:180:00:22

They were Alfred Neasham from Coxhoe,

0:00:220:00:25

Leslie Ahmed from South Shields and Keith Smith from Stockton.

0:00:250:00:30

# Who bad'st its angry tumult cease...#

0:00:310:00:35

It doesn't seem like ten years, it's just like...

0:00:360:00:39

I don't know, just so...

0:00:390:00:41

It's just gone so quick, uh-huh.

0:00:410:00:44

And it's hard to comprehend, you know?

0:00:440:00:48

As soon as we got the call, we knew it was going to be a big

0:00:480:00:51

call-out and it was a search and rescue, so we launched...

0:00:510:00:54

We usually launch with five people, we actually took nine

0:00:540:00:56

people with us that night, so we could have

0:00:560:00:59

four extra lookouts.

0:00:590:01:00

But unfortunately there wasn't a lot we could do.

0:01:000:01:02

The helicopter had taken off from Blackpool Airport on the night

0:01:020:01:04

of the 27th of December 2006 destined for the gas fields.

0:01:040:01:08

Seven men died when it crashed into the sea in bad weather.

0:01:080:01:12

A decade on, the memories of what happened 24 miles off this

0:01:120:01:15

coast are still very clear for many.

0:01:150:01:19

For ever and ever, amen.

0:01:190:01:22

Naomi Cornwell, BBC Look North, in Fleetwood.

0:01:240:01:28

A man and a woman have been remanded into custody after being charged

0:01:290:01:32

with the murder of a teenager who was stabbed at a club.

0:01:320:01:35

The police were called Cramlington Working Men's Club on Christmas Eve.

0:01:350:01:37

19-year-old Owen Kerry was treated by paramedics

0:01:370:01:41

but died later in hospital.

0:01:410:01:43

Lyndsey Harper, who's 36 and lives in Annitsford in north Tyneside,

0:01:430:01:46

appeared in court today alongside Brian Cahill, who's

0:01:460:01:50

35 and from Dudley, also in north Tyneside.

0:01:500:01:54

Work on regenerating a major town centre street in Hartlepool is due

0:01:550:01:58

to start in the New Year.

0:01:580:02:00

The council wants the Church Street area to be at the heart

0:02:000:02:03

of a so-called innovation and skills quarter, rather than

0:02:030:02:07

a drinking destination.

0:02:070:02:09

Ian Reeve reports.

0:02:090:02:11

Hartlepool's Church Street has seen better times.

0:02:120:02:13

Once the preserve of the town's ship owners, it is now a lively

0:02:130:02:17

night-time destination, but slightly the worse for wear.

0:02:170:02:22

Now there are plans to change that.

0:02:220:02:24

It is a lively area, but we don't have many independent

0:02:240:02:27

sellers or shops in the area.

0:02:270:02:30

It is very much the night-time economy.

0:02:300:02:32

It may be busy at certain periods but we want that

0:02:320:02:36

dawn till dusk feel, where we are promoting

0:02:360:02:38

local businesses.

0:02:380:02:41

Grants to regenerate the buildings have been won.

0:02:420:02:44

Cleveland College of Art and Design has invested

0:02:440:02:46

?11 million in a new building.

0:02:460:02:49

In this restaurant on Church Street, the scheme has gone down well,

0:02:490:02:53

but there could be refinements, the owner thinks.

0:02:530:02:56

There could be more things for children to play around

0:02:560:03:01

and I think the council should think about the parking as well.

0:03:010:03:06

A lot of our customers complain about the parking.

0:03:060:03:09

There is nowhere to park.

0:03:100:03:12

Work on the new-look Church Street will begin in the New Year,

0:03:120:03:15

with completion by Christmas 2017.

0:03:150:03:19

A chance encounter between schoolgirls from York and Greece

0:03:230:03:26

has led to a plan to help improve the lives of refugees.

0:03:260:03:29

The girls from Mount School in York were so moved when they heard

0:03:290:03:33

of the plight of refugees in Greece, they began collecting

0:03:330:03:36

bags of essential items to send out to the country.

0:03:360:03:40

Involving other schools in York, they'd initially hoped to send 50

0:03:400:03:43

rucksacks but ended up with more than 300.

0:03:430:03:48

Knowing the cause it was going to and how appreciative these people

0:03:480:03:52

were going to be for this, honestly, it was worthwhile, definitely.

0:03:520:03:58

We did it in our forms.

0:03:580:03:59

Every form did two bags for a boy and a girl.

0:03:590:04:02

So we did it like that.

0:04:020:04:04

Afterwards, people made their own at home and then we just kept

0:04:040:04:07

on bringing in loads.

0:04:070:04:08

It was amazing.

0:04:080:04:10

Let's have the weather forecast now with Paul Hudson.

0:04:110:04:13

Hello, good evening.

0:04:140:04:15

We start with a warning of fog, particularly through the Vale

0:04:150:04:18

of York in North Yorkshire, extending into County Durham.

0:04:180:04:20

Some poor visibility later tonight.

0:04:200:04:23

All courtesy of high pressure, which means we should

0:04:230:04:25

have a dry rest of the week.

0:04:250:04:28

So, tomorrow, watch out for that fog.

0:04:280:04:29

It could be really quite reluctant to clear across some

0:04:290:04:32

parts of North Yorkshire.

0:04:320:04:33

Elsewhere, it's not too bad.

0:04:330:04:34

Dry with variable amounts of cloud.

0:04:340:04:38

The best of the sunshine tomorrow across Cumbria and the Lake District

0:04:380:04:40

and along the east coast of ours.

0:04:400:04:42

Top temperatures, cold in the fog but near 7 degrees

0:04:420:04:45

in Carlisle and Kendal.

0:04:450:04:47

That's the forecast.

0:04:470:04:49

And that's all from us.

0:04:500:04:52

We're back with bulletins in Breakfast tomorrow morning.

0:04:520:04:55

From me, have a good night.
