:00:10. > :00:10.Good evening. for the news where you are.
:00:11. > :00:13.Police are continuing to question a 15-year-old girl over the death
:00:14. > :00:19.The younger girl was found by police with life-threatening injuries
:00:20. > :00:23.in the Woodthorpe area of the city yesterday afternoon.
:00:24. > :00:27.She was taken to hospital but died a short time later.
:00:28. > :00:29.Tonight, North Yorkshire Police have named the young victim
:00:30. > :00:33.as Katie Rough, a pupil at a nearby primary school.
:00:34. > :00:36.Her family are said to be devastated.
:00:37. > :00:40.Enquiries into the circumstances surrounding her death continue.
:00:41. > :00:48.Alness Drive is normally a quiet residential road.
:00:49. > :00:52.Today, though, it was far from that, as police teams investigated
:00:53. > :00:56.Katie Rough, a pupil at Westfield Primary School
:00:57. > :01:02.A woman ran up the street, it was obviously the mother
:01:03. > :01:08.of the daughter, she was shouting, "Help, call for an ambulance!"
:01:09. > :01:11.So I put my shoes on and went up the alleyway, about halfway up,
:01:12. > :01:14.and I could see a body lying in the field.
:01:15. > :01:15.But the police were already there, attending.
:01:16. > :01:18.Police were called here yesterday afternoon and found the little girl
:01:19. > :01:22.on the footpath that leads to a playing field.
:01:23. > :01:27.Since then, a 15-year-old girl has been arrested and is now
:01:28. > :01:32.Specially trained officers are supporting the victim's family
:01:33. > :01:34.at this extremely difficult time for them.
:01:35. > :01:37.Clearly, the circumstances require the investigation to be conducted
:01:38. > :01:43.For most of the day, a police tent has covered the area
:01:44. > :01:46.where Katie was found, with the investigation
:01:47. > :01:50.at one stage moving to an address half a mile away.
:01:51. > :01:52.One local councillor says support will be given
:01:53. > :01:58.I spoke to the local vicar this morning and he will see what he can
:01:59. > :02:01.organise to have the church open for a couple of days,
:02:02. > :02:04.to make sure there is somewhere local for local people to go
:02:05. > :02:07.and just have a cup of tea or have a chat, and just somewhere
:02:08. > :02:10.if they've got any problems or anything they want to talk
:02:11. > :02:12.about, they can get it off their chest privately.
:02:13. > :02:14.Throughout the day, meanwhile, friends and local residents have
:02:15. > :02:18.She was a very close friend to my daughter,
:02:19. > :02:21.and she was a unique, beautiful little girl.
:02:22. > :02:23.Respect the family. Beautiful family.
:02:24. > :02:26.Both involved are so young, and it's such a shame,
:02:27. > :02:29.because she's not even started her life, has she?
:02:30. > :02:36.The community has been badly shaken by the death of this little girl,
:02:37. > :02:41.described today as a "darling princess" by her grandparents.
:02:42. > :02:49.It was an awful accident in which a man's body remained
:02:50. > :02:54.undiscovered in a car in the middle of a busy roundabout for seven days.
:02:55. > :02:57.It happened last August at junction 58 off the A1
:02:58. > :03:02.Today an inquest into Darren Stephenson-Bennett's death
:03:03. > :03:10.Husband and father Darren Stephenson-Bennett was last seen
:03:11. > :03:14.at a party on Saturday the 27th of August last year.
:03:15. > :03:17.He was reported missing the following Tuesday.
:03:18. > :03:19.His body was discovered in his car on
:03:20. > :03:23.this roundabout seven days after his disappearance.
:03:24. > :03:25.Darren's vehicle had crashed into a tree and remained
:03:26. > :03:30.CCTV footage from passing buses was examined.
:03:31. > :03:33.It showed just before 10pm, there were ten
:03:34. > :03:36.of these black and white chevrons and after 11pm
:03:37. > :03:41.there were eight, so the crash happened in that hour.
:03:42. > :03:43.Then it raised the grim question, had he been
:03:44. > :03:47.conscious for any length of time after the accident?
:03:48. > :03:50.Witnesses had seen Darren drink Jack Daniel's and beer
:03:51. > :03:55.The coroner said there is a high probability he was over
:03:56. > :03:57.the drink-drive limit at the time of the crash.
:03:58. > :04:04.He suffered a serious brain injury as a result of the collision.
:04:05. > :04:07.The coroner said he died in the hour soon after or possibly straightaway
:04:08. > :04:12.A verdict of accidental death was given.
:04:13. > :04:15.Back in August, the police faced criticism at the time for not
:04:16. > :04:19.It has been quite a difficult investigation
:04:20. > :04:23.The car was almost perfectly concealed inside
:04:24. > :04:26.the motorway interchange inside the junction.
:04:27. > :04:29.It was very difficult for us to discover it.
:04:30. > :04:31.And if Darren Stephenson-Bennett had been reported missing
:04:32. > :04:33.a little bit earlier, we potentially might have found
:04:34. > :04:38.the vehicle and his body a little bit sooner.
:04:39. > :04:44.But I don't necessarily think that would have affected the outcome.
:04:45. > :04:46.At the end of the inquest, Darren's family thanked the police
:04:47. > :04:52.Darren Stephenson-Bennett leaves behind three children.
:04:53. > :04:59.A man's appeared in court accused of holding four people hostage
:05:00. > :05:02.at the Coral bookmakers in Jarrow on Sunday night.
:05:03. > :05:05.Alistair Gallow, who's 39 and from Jarrow, appeared before
:05:06. > :05:09.South Tyneside magistrates charged with nine offences, including false
:05:10. > :05:11.imprisonment and possession of a firearm with intent
:05:12. > :05:22.He was remanded in custody and will appear at Crown Court next month.
:05:23. > :05:24.Police in Cumbria are investigating suspicions that a small number
:05:25. > :05:27.of saline bags were tampered with
:05:28. > :05:30.at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle.
:05:31. > :05:34.The NHS Trust says security measures have been increased.
:05:35. > :05:39.Our health reporter Sharon Barbour sent this report from the hospital.
:05:40. > :05:42.Yes, it was the 4th of January, just under a week ago,
:05:43. > :05:45.that a member of staff here at the Cumberland Infirmary
:05:46. > :05:49.in Carlisle suspected that a saline bag or some saline bags
:05:50. > :05:55.They immediately contacted their senior clinical managers,
:05:56. > :05:57.who contacted the trust management, who contacted the police
:05:58. > :06:04.We understand that no patient has been adversely affected,
:06:05. > :06:06.although they continue to be monitored.
:06:07. > :06:09.Security measures here have been strengthened and all medicines
:06:10. > :06:17.The Hospital Trust say any patients with any concerns can contact them
:06:18. > :06:21.on a telephone number which is on the trust's website.
:06:22. > :06:26.Well, it is a watery, salty, sugary solution, harmless,
:06:27. > :06:29.which is used to hydrate or rehydrate patients,
:06:30. > :06:32.but it can also be used to mix medicines, to give those
:06:33. > :06:37.The police are saying very little, they say the investigation
:06:38. > :06:43.We don't know how many saline bags may have been affected,
:06:44. > :06:47.but the police say they are working closely with the Hospital Trust.
:06:48. > :06:53.The majority of lessons at a high profile Cumbrian academy
:06:54. > :06:56.were cancelled today as teachers took industrial action.
:06:57. > :07:01.Members of the NASUWT went on strike at Whitehaven Academy,
:07:02. > :07:04.a school placed in special measures by Ofsted, where teachers
:07:05. > :07:08.and parents continue to raise concerns about the charitable trust
:07:09. > :07:17.Unhappy union members in front of a near-empty school building.
:07:18. > :07:20.A building they say is not up to scratch.
:07:21. > :07:23.You go into a classroom, is it fully resourced?
:07:24. > :07:29.Is it going to be the sort of place where you can
:07:30. > :07:32.carry out a lesson where kids will be attentive from the beginning?
:07:33. > :07:35.If they're's cold, if it's not well lit and not well resourced,
:07:36. > :07:37.their learning is not going to be the best.
:07:38. > :07:40.This dispute is not just about the teaching environment.
:07:41. > :07:43.Staff and parents say they are frustrated by years
:07:44. > :07:45.of mismanagement and bad communication from
:07:46. > :07:48.the BrightTribe trust which runs the school.
:07:49. > :07:51.In November last year 70 staff members signed a letter
:07:52. > :07:55.calling on the Government to remove the trust.
:07:56. > :07:57.Three teaching unions have balloted on strike action
:07:58. > :08:01.and today's picket is not expected to be the last.
:08:02. > :08:04.Only year 11s are being taught in school today,
:08:05. > :08:07.meaning all other pupils have had an extra day off, meaning extra
:08:08. > :08:12.No striking teachers wanted to speak to us
:08:13. > :08:14.directly today but the union representatives
:08:15. > :08:20.I think the whole community, the parents, the politicians even
:08:21. > :08:22.have spoken up about the conditions in this school.
:08:23. > :08:24.In response, BrightTribe said it was disappointed
:08:25. > :08:26.by the industrial action, but determined to continue
:08:27. > :08:29.At Whitehaven Academy, the students are amazing,
:08:30. > :08:31.and that school has underperformed for years and years,
:08:32. > :08:36.Now, under BrightTribe's watch, things haven't improved yet,
:08:37. > :08:39.although certainly, in the knowledge of Ofsted, there are lots of green
:08:40. > :08:42.shoots now finally, and sometimes these things do take 18 months
:08:43. > :08:47.Teaching unions and the trust are expected to meet for further
:08:48. > :08:53.Megan Paterson, BBC Look North, Whitehaven.
:08:54. > :08:56.The Ken Loach film I Daniel Blake, shot largely on Tyneside,
:08:57. > :09:00.has picked up five BAFTA nominations.
:09:01. > :09:03.Ken Loach himself has been nominated for Director,
:09:04. > :09:07.Outstanding British Film, Original Screenplay
:09:08. > :09:12.and Supporting Actress for Hayley Squires.
:09:13. > :09:20.Time for a look at the weather now with Paul Mooney.
:09:21. > :09:25.Paul, the big question, will we get snow?
:09:26. > :09:28.There will be snow for some of us, but the drop in temperatures and
:09:29. > :09:33.strength of wind is probably just as important. A weather front crossing
:09:34. > :09:38.the region tonight, that will bring some rain. As that clears way, it
:09:39. > :09:43.leaves behind clear spells and some blustery showers. Very gusty wind.
:09:44. > :09:48.As the winds down from Weston North West, we could see gusts of around
:09:49. > :09:52.60 mph, blowing right across what of the main roads, very blustery
:09:53. > :09:56.conditions on trans-Pennine routes. If you're out tomorrow morning
:09:57. > :10:02.especially, some difficult travelling conditions with those
:10:03. > :10:06.very gusty winds. It will only very slowly and slightly ease as we had
:10:07. > :10:10.through the days. Sunny intervals and scattered showers, passing
:10:11. > :10:15.through quickly, some of those will start to turn wintry over the high
:10:16. > :10:20.ground as the day draws on. At lower levels, temperatures peaking around
:10:21. > :10:24.seven Celsius. You can see the wind is still very gusty, even by the end
:10:25. > :10:28.of the day. The wind stays strong as we had through tomorrow night. And
:10:29. > :10:32.into Thursday as well. North-westerly. Then by Freddie, a
:10:33. > :10:37.strict northerly coming down from the Arctic. There will be variations
:10:38. > :10:41.on where the risk of any snow showers will fall over the next few
:10:42. > :10:45.days, there are a couple of Mac office warnings for Cumbria on
:10:46. > :10:50.Thursday and for Cumbria and the North East on Friday. So Thursday
:10:51. > :10:53.will have a bottle showers, turn increasingly wintry, perhaps
:10:54. > :10:57.settling down in lower levels, still a very cold wind as well. Friday
:10:58. > :10:58.will see the wood tree showers becoming more confined to eastern
:10:59. > :11:04.areas. I will leave you of the week, and to start the
:11:05. > :11:05.weekend as well. For more on that snow situation, over to Jay Wynne
:11:06. > :11:19.now. Quite a lot going on over the next
:11:20. > :11:24.few days. The strong north-westerly wind will drag some really cold
:11:25. > :11:27.Arctic air across our shores full stop that will be with us for the
:11:28. > :11:32.next few days. And there will be some wintry weather and it will be a
:11:33. > :11:35.cold end to the week. In the short-term, the strong winds pushing
:11:36. > :11:41.the rain away from Scotland. The winds really picking up in the north
:11:42. > :11:43.and west with frequent showers following into Scotland and Northern
:11:44. > :11:50.Ireland, some of them wintry over the higher ground. It will be
:11:51. > :11:55.particularly cold in the wind, which will be a key feature of things
:11:56. > :12:00.tomorrow. Travel disruption is certainly possible across the
:12:01. > :12:01.northern half of the UK, with winds up to
