Prince Harry brought his message about mental health | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
He met veterans - scarred by their experiences of war - | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
and others whose lives have been affected by mental illness. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
The prince was in Gateshead and Newcastle as part of a campaign | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
encouraging people to open up and talk about their problems. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Our correspondent Peter Harris reports. | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
It is a campaign he jointly supports with the Duke and Duchess of | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Today, Prince Harry joined sporting legends to promote | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
the work of the Heads Together mental health charity. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
The important thing about Heads Together is that it is | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
A problem shared is a problem halved. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
And you will find that most people are just like you. | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
He met people the charity who are training for | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
the London Marathon from across the | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
A bit of banter on the bridge and then off to hear their | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Supporting mental health charities is something that has been | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
very close to the Prince's heart and coming to events like this and | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
meeting the public and encouraging others to look after their mental | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
The runners told him of their mental health experiences, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
including Leanne, who was involved with the charity because of her | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
With mental illness, nothing is ever quick. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
It is putting all the pieces in the puzzle together | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
He was really lovely to talk to, completely | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
down-to-earth, extremely passionate about the charity, and it was just | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
really nice being able to speak to him and we are just really happy | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
that he is elevating this great charity. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Earlier, the Prince met veterans in Gateshead working with | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
the walking with the wounded charity and later to the headquarters of | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Virgin Money, which supports his campaigns, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
I have seen people go from their lowest point, physically | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
shaking or unwilling to leave the house, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
or even with suicidal thoughts, to a place of real optimism and | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
resilience in a relatively short space of time. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
But there was time as well to draw the crowds. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
This time, though, with a message that matters. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
A charity which supports victims of domestic violence | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
after it was told today council funding of more | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
than half a million pounds is coming to an end. | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
The charity works with 350 women at four refuges, work that costs | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
around ?1 million a year - they raise the other half | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
The council says its working on new funding arrangements, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
but the Charity says it now fears for the women who need their help. | :03:01. | :03:15. | |
We have got a lot of desperately worried service users who do not | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
know where they are going to be helped and don't know when the money | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
is going to come back, so there has been | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
a massive mobilisation in the | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
community but certainly service users are relying on us to help them | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
through particularly traumatic court cases, | :03:30. | :03:30. | |
or court proceedings around children, and they are very worried | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
about where is that person going to go. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Will I be able to go back there for help? | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Five people have been arrested after a | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
man was stabbed in Newcastle City Centre. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
It happened yesterday lunchtime next to the city library. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
The man, who's 22 and hasn't been named, is still in a critical | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
A public inquiry into controversial plans for an opencast coal mine | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
close to a Northumberland beauty spot will take place in May. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Campaigners have been fighting to stop the Banks Group | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
from removing three million tonnes of coal from land near Widdrington, | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
More than ?8,000 has now been donated to an appeal set up | :04:09. | :04:21. | |
by the family of a 16-year-old Durham girl, who's virtually trapped | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Jade Gadd, who appeared on Friday's Look North, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
has a genetic condition which means her joints regularly | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
Wheelchair access in her home is poor. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Durham County Council's offered ?30,000 for modifications, | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
but that's only half the estimated cost. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
Parents have reacted with dismay to plans to close | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
a Northumberland middle school, months after they were told | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
between Berwick and Alnwick, say the numbers of pupils is set | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
to fall sharply, and that means it won't be financially sustainable. | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Parents say it's a good school and that some children | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
could now face long journeys to be taught elsewhere. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
For decades, it has been a war of attrition. | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
But since this protest in 2004, the number of Northumberland | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
So are parents like this fighting a losing battle? | :05:16. | :05:27. | |
Middle schools like the one at Belford typically take | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
pupils from the age of nine until 13. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
This one is run by the Church of England. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
But it is projected to lose a third of its 100 pupils by | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Despite that, parents got a governor's letter last October | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
reassuring them that the future of the school was secure. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
When they got a second letter, this time from the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
chair of governors, saying that with the greatest | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
reluctance and regret, they have now concluded that it is | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
in the best interests of the children to close the school this | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
They were also told that despite Ofsted's verdict, Belford | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
had been identified as a coasting school because its standards hadn't | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Panicking, some people taking their children out now. | :06:17. | :06:33. | |
A few have thought they had better get | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
them into another school as fast as possible. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
This, the village's nearby first school to become a primary. | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
So this would take the children from the middle school | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
up to the age of 11 but it would still mean the 11 to 13-year-olds | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
having long bus journeys at the beginning and end of the day. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
The high schools would either be Berwick | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
or Alnwick, so that is an extra hour and a half, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
couple of hours, on the | :06:58. | :06:58. | |
The diocese of Newcastle and the County | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Council stressed this is still a consultation exercise. | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
Campaigners want to call a halt before another | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
of his dwindling band of schools disappears. | :07:10. | :07:28. | |
Good news for those looking up at the stars tonight. | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
Kielder Observatory is to get a ?200,000 extension. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
The observatory now attracts more than 23 thousand | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
visitors every year, and thanks to grants | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Rural Development Programme | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Steve is already starting to get ready for the new season at the | :07:48. | :08:22. | |
Kielder village campsite, and so are the many | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
He is grateful for the observatory and the visitors | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
We have had some very fortunate times where we | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
have had a good of nights despite bad weather, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
but the colder it is, the clearer it can be. | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
I don't think any of us really expected this to | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
take off in the way that it has now as well as this | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
observatory we have now | :08:54. | :08:54. | |
got hotels and bed-and-breakfast facilities. | :08:55. | :08:55. | |
They have got their own kits to promote dark skies. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
The locals will tell you that Kielder, | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
outside the main holiday season, can become almost deserted, that is why | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
the unexpected thousands of astral tourists have given this whole | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
promote area at such a welcome boost. | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
Particularly as the stargazers tend to prefer coming in | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
the quieter months in spring and autumn. | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
This opportunity and this project allows us to actually | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
develop a classroom for children coming | :09:13. | :09:13. | |
here, so not everybody is | :09:14. | :09:14. | |
crowded in the same building, and it provides the opportunity for lots of | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
different education to take place as well from this particular venue. | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
If it is going to last than it is going | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
to inspire people in the region and we have got to get on board. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
We want to really enthuse people about how | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
important dark skies are and what better | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
looking at the big old black dark starry sky and using kit like this | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
Yes, indeed. Storms Doris is on the way. Wednesday night into Thursday. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
But we do have some wet and windy weather tonight, in fact. Heavy rain | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
for a time during the night, especially across parts of Cumbria. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Strong westerly winds as well. Quite blustery. That will clear away by | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Wednesday morning. Temperatures dropping to 5-6 C. Wednesday starts | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
off on a bright note. Plenty of dry and bright weather through the day. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
Sunshine as well with some showers. A brisk westerly | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
things feel quite cold and things feel quite cold and | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
temperatures getting up to nine temperatures getting up to nine | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
Celsius. This area of low pressure Celsius. This area of low pressure | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
is stormed Doris. It is pushing in as we go through Wednesday night and | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
on until Thursday and it will bring some destructive wet and windy | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
weather with some hail snow as well. This is what it looks like through | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
the day. We have moved the graphics on a little bit but we are expecting | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
some wet weather and heavy downpours of rain. And some snow on the hills | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
as well. We could see 5-10 centimetres of snow on the North | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Pennines and gusty winds as well. BT have been 60 mph across parts of | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Cumbria. We could even see somebody had an 80 mph in North Yorkshire. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
That will clear away and then temperatures of up to nine Celsius | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
in the afternoon. Expect wet, windy and destructive weather. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
the day, particularly up towards the evening rush hour. It calms down on | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
the Outlook toward the end of the week and then milder again from the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
wheel them. More on storm Doris now with Matt Taylor. | :11:10. | :11:12. |
