:00:26. > :00:28.sentence, and is now living on benefits.
:00:29. > :00:31.Today, he was at Teesside Crown Court for a
:00:32. > :00:36.This warehouse was one of the two waste sites in Darlington where

:00:42. > :00:45.Here, household waste was piled high.
:00:46. > :00:49.He had no licence and no regard for health and safety.
:00:50. > :00:52.Today Teesside Crown Court heard how his

:00:58. > :00:59.A profit made by charging customers to remove their waste and
:01:00. > :01:03.He was making a lot of money from this.
:01:04. > :01:08.That meant that he disregarded the law.
:01:09. > :01:12.He disregarded the communities that were around his site
:01:13. > :01:18.Despite earning ?1 million from his illegal business,
:01:19. > :01:22.Raymond Shepherd was today ordered to pay back just ?14,000.
:01:23. > :01:27.After serving a prison sentence, the court
:01:28. > :01:31.heard he was now living on benefits and had no hidden assets.
:01:32. > :01:37.If his financial situation changes,
:01:38. > :01:40.the million he made me still have to be paid in full.
:01:41. > :01:42.Outside court, Mr Shepherd insisted he has done
:01:43. > :01:50.?14,000 is neither here nor there but it is about
:01:51. > :01:52.being found guilty when I have done nothing wrong.
:01:53. > :02:00.When the local authority prosecuted, they
:02:01. > :02:07.We hope the judgment sends out the message that
:02:08. > :02:08.waste crime does not pay.
:02:09. > :02:11.Mr Shepherd now has a debt for life, if he makes any money, we will
:02:12. > :02:18.Raymond Shepherd now has three months to pay back his proceeds of

:02:46. > :02:47.A coroner has ruled that a Darlington soldier who was suffering
:02:48. > :02:51.Last October, at the age of 26 he hanged himself.
:02:52. > :02:53.His family say he was suffering from PTSD and they are

:03:33. > :03:36.This is a Labour seat, how important to them
:03:37. > :03:59.The majority that was bequeathed to Labour was 2500. Traditionally, it
:04:00. > :04:02.is not lost to governing parties. It is a indication of the perilous
:04:03. > :04:08.state of labour. The Conservatives have not helped this seat since the
:04:09. > :04:14.1930s, and this big concern. Voters want to see an MP to put forward the
:04:15. > :04:19.issues highlighted. The local hospital being moved. The
:04:20. > :04:21.uncertainty about nuclear jobs. The nuclear power station this supposed
:04:22. > :04:29.to come here but there is uncertainty. And the rail network,
:04:30. > :04:33.my colleagues from all over Britain have had to endure problems tonight.
:04:34. > :04:42.Which party is looking happiest so far? We have got the first few
:04:43. > :04:49.ballots boxes being verified and then will be counted properly. In a
:04:50. > :04:53.couple of hours' time. Candidates keeping its cost that their chests
:04:54. > :04:59.at the moment. Not looking confident or despondent. We could have a close
:05:00. > :05:04.result. The declaration time is usually between three and 4am.
:05:05. > :05:07.It's ten years today since the Grayrigg rail crash,
:05:08. > :05:10.when a Virgin Trains Pendolino came off the West Coast Mainline
:05:11. > :05:12.in Cumbria, killing one person and injuring dozens more.
:05:13. > :05:14.To mark the anniversary, three people who were
:05:15. > :05:17.connected with the crash - the driver, the track
:05:18. > :05:21.maintenance manager, and the son of the woman who died -
:05:22. > :05:23.have all returned to the place where it happened
:05:24. > :05:32.It was one of the most shocking disasters in Cumbria's history.
:05:33. > :05:34.The twisted wreckage of the train became one
:05:35. > :05:42.The investigation revealed that it was caused by points failure.
:05:43. > :05:45.The man whose job it was to inspect them had been openly critical
:05:46. > :05:47.of the state of the tracks for 18 months.
:05:48. > :05:52.Ironically, it was he who failed to inspect them just five
:05:53. > :05:57.days before the crash, although he was
:05:58. > :06:01.The impact of the accident on his life is clear to see.
:06:02. > :06:03.This is my first time back here in the ten
:06:04. > :06:06.years since the accident, the night of the crash.
:06:07. > :06:08.This is where the rear of the train was.
:06:09. > :06:10.I walked up here and looked down the bank,
:06:11. > :06:16.I vividly remember the helicopters circling
:06:17. > :06:22.above and landing in the field, picking injured people.
:06:23. > :06:27.You can't really imagine anything like it.
:06:28. > :06:30.Just to stand here, you have got a 300-odd tonne train on its side
:06:31. > :06:43.The driver of the train, Iain Black, was seriously injured and given
:06:44. > :06:49.For him, keeping the memory of the crash alive is his way
:06:50. > :06:57.When I was in the field, I was just at the scene
:06:58. > :07:00.but now I can look down, I can take the whole aspect
:07:01. > :07:03.of where the train came off, where I ended up.
:07:04. > :07:08.I do not want to forget about it, so coming here today is again,
:07:09. > :07:12.helping me remember what happened to me and at the same time
:07:13. > :07:21.Although 30 people were seriously hurt, there was only one fatality.
:07:22. > :07:24.One too many, but this surprised some people and was thought to be
:07:25. > :07:26.due to the structural integrity of the pendelino train.
:07:27. > :07:34.The woman who died was 84-year-old Margaret Masson, and today,
:07:35. > :07:36.her son George said he did not believe all
:07:37. > :07:40.No matter what the investigations say.
:07:41. > :07:43.If they recommend something, whether they have implemented
:07:44. > :07:47.the changes that they were going to do it is pretty doubtful.
:07:48. > :07:52.Network Rail shouldn't be running the track.
:07:53. > :07:55.They have got the manpower, but they will not spend
:07:56. > :08:01.They say they have, but I have not seen it.
:08:02. > :08:03.Network Rail was fined over ?4 million for failing
:08:04. > :08:08.The people affected have got on with their lives,
:08:09. > :08:24.but a decade on, it is clear the crash still casts a shadow.
:08:25. > :08:26.Well, our region escaped the worst of Storm Doris today,
:08:27. > :08:28.but many rail services were cancelled or restricted, and
:08:29. > :08:37.One group of local schoolchildren from Newcastle High School for Girls
:08:38. > :08:40.were on their way back from a trip to Iceland on board
:08:41. > :08:42.Icelandair Flight F1440, which tried to land at Manchester Airport
:08:43. > :08:46.It then tried to land at Liverpool before declaring a fuel emergency
:08:47. > :08:48.and returning to Manchester, where it finally made
:08:49. > :08:55.Everyone around us was, like, being sick and fainting and that.
:08:56. > :09:00.I literally felt I was going to die at one point.
:09:01. > :09:05."Mum, I don't know what's going to happen."
:09:06. > :09:07.When you finally landed, how did it feel?
:09:08. > :09:13.They started crying because they were so excited
:09:14. > :09:14.because everyone thought, like, something bad
:09:15. > :09:20.Most of us escaped the worst, even though Doris came
:09:21. > :09:37.We were lucky that the eye of the storm came right across us. Some
:09:38. > :09:44.parts of Cumbria got guts of over 60 mph. Parts of the North East, 50
:09:45. > :09:48.mph. But the weather stayed north and south of our region. The
:09:49. > :09:51.pressure gradually pulled away through the afternoon, we drew down
:09:52. > :09:57.those strong northerly winds through the afternoon. Generally, we have
:09:58. > :10:00.got away with not too bad and experience from this storm. The
:10:01. > :10:05.storm has pretty much either way through the rest of this evening and
:10:06. > :10:09.overnight the winter fading, the shallowest easing off. Temperatures
:10:10. > :10:14.overnight will be dropping down to around two or three degrees. A touch
:10:15. > :10:22.of frost in places, ice possibly a problem on an surfaces. Friday, much
:10:23. > :10:27.better. Blue skies for many of us. Staying dry. Some clouding Cumbria
:10:28. > :10:30.later on in the day. It will feel like a much better day with
:10:31. > :10:41.temperatures up to seven or 8 degrees. I had chillier than it has
:10:42. > :10:45.been. Into Saturday, wetter. Parts of Cumbria, County Durham and
:10:46. > :10:48.western part of Northumberland, heady and persistent rain. Parts of
:10:49. > :10:55.the North East thing dry. Temperatures around ten or 11
:10:56. > :10:58.degrees. Quite blustery. Into Sunday, further wet and windy
:10:59. > :11:01.weather. Here is the outlook for tomorrow. With
:11:02. > :11:10.be much milder. I will leave you with Thomas Shelter.
:11:11. > :11:18.Good evening. It was quite a day for some of us. We get these sort of
:11:19. > :11:21.storms every couple of years also. Difficult to give an exact number,
:11:22. > :11:28.but it was certainly a nasty one. It's now moving into Holland,
:11:29. > :11:34.Germany, south of Denmark, and it continues to blow itself out. The
:11:35. > :11:35.winds around coasts were not particularly spectacular, but
