A minute's silence has been held in memory of two teenage boys

:00:12.:00:15.

who died after falling from cliffs in Saltburn.

:00:16.:00:18.

The tribute was paid at their former school today where pupils and staff

:00:19.:00:21.

17-year-old Harry Watson and Alex Yeoman were found on Friday

:00:22.:00:26.

It's a place of great beauty, but a place marked today

:00:27.:00:38.

Since Friday, flowers have been left in several places along the cliffs

:00:39.:00:52.

at Saltburn in memory of the two teenagers both described as

:00:53.:00:55.

Harry Watson and Alex Yeoman were 17.

:00:56.:00:58.

Harry, an aspiring actor, was studying drama and Alex had

:00:59.:01:00.

Today friends were at a loss as to why or

:01:01.:01:03.

I can't wrap my head around it, they're too young, not even 18.

:01:04.:01:11.

His birthday was in a couple of weeks.

:01:12.:01:13.

They were so kind, they'd do anything for you, honestly.

:01:14.:01:27.

Kind-hearted people and I'm going to miss them

:01:28.:01:29.

Both teenagers lived in Loftus, and today at their

:01:30.:01:36.

former school, a minute's silence was held in their memory.

:01:37.:01:38.

They had been pupils here for five years, both of

:01:39.:01:41.

them characters described by teachers as popular and bright.

:01:42.:01:44.

They were fantastic, they were full of

:01:45.:01:46.

life and one of the last things Harry did was featured in the

:01:47.:01:50.

performance of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

:01:51.:01:56.

Both he and Alex were good friends in school and

:01:57.:02:00.

we have lots of very happy memories of them.

:02:01.:02:03.

Very positive role models for other students and really valued

:02:04.:02:06.

The circumstances of the teenagers' deaths tonight remains a mystery.

:02:07.:02:15.

Two young lives lost in what appears to be a tragic accident.

:02:16.:02:19.

A woman remains in a critical condition tonight

:02:20.:02:25.

It happened on Saturday on the A69 in Northumberland.

:02:26.:02:28.

Police say the car was travelling at around 60 miles

:02:29.:02:31.

an hour at the time, when she ended up by the roadside

:02:32.:02:34.

The vehicle was believed to be a black Ford Fiesta.

:02:35.:02:37.

The Government's being urged to review its handling

:02:38.:02:41.

of benefit claims after a disabled man

:02:42.:02:45.

The man, from Bishop Auckland, had to undergo a face-to-face

:02:46.:02:49.

assessment for Employment and Support Allowance,

:02:50.:02:54.

despite doctors warning he was suffering from mental illness.

:02:55.:02:57.

His MP, Labour's Helen Goodman, raised the case in the Commons

:02:58.:03:00.

with the Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green.

:03:01.:03:09.

Could the Secretary of State please ensure

:03:10.:03:11.

that when doctors say that

:03:12.:03:12.

people with mental health conditions should not have face-to-face

:03:13.:03:20.

assessments, they do NOT have face-to-face assessments?

:03:21.:03:25.

The Minister expressed his sincere sympathy to the man's family.

:03:26.:03:27.

He said the Government was investing more in mental health services.

:03:28.:03:33.

We know have more clinical expertise available to assessors who can look

:03:34.:03:39.

at the individual cases and those who have conditions which can only

:03:40.:03:41.

stay the same market worse, we have no ended reassessment so we are

:03:42.:03:44.

taking steps to try and minimise those effects.

:03:45.:03:56.

A business centre that houses around 50 businesses

:03:57.:03:58.

is being closed down forcing the owners

:03:59.:04:00.

Middlesbrough Council say the Southlands Business Centre

:04:01.:04:05.

The council says it will help those affected.

:04:06.:04:08.

Dave Brown has been running his window design and repair company

:04:09.:04:19.

from the Southlands Centre for eight years.

:04:20.:04:24.

There are, he says, no huge profits in his work and his room,

:04:25.:04:28.

Where do people go who haven't got funds off their parents to set up

:04:29.:04:34.

businesses in a town like Middlesbrough?

:04:35.:04:35.

There's loads of people like that and I was

:04:36.:04:38.

Where did you go now to try to start a business when you have low

:04:39.:04:44.

rents, easy in and out, you have support?

:04:45.:04:45.

Middlesbrough Council says it sympathises with the businesses

:04:46.:04:47.

inside the old school, but it all comes down to money.

:04:48.:04:50.

The council says the business centre is costing ?200,000 a year in

:04:51.:04:54.

On top of that, it says it spends another ?600,000 on essential

:04:55.:05:00.

The 48 small businesses here have been told they

:05:01.:05:06.

It's fine getting the big companies in here,

:05:07.:05:10.

but don't ignore the little companies.

:05:11.:05:13.

When we've looked at other business centres, they are a lot

:05:14.:05:16.

more expensive, plus we have to pay VAT, which we don't have to here,

:05:17.:05:20.

which is another 20% on top of the costs we have to find.

:05:21.:05:27.

The council says it's not turning its back on small business

:05:28.:05:29.

There is a package of money, ?100,000, to help the transition,

:05:30.:05:35.

things like moving costs, even talking about paying off debt,

:05:36.:05:38.

things like transitional rents, if friends are slightly higher, so

:05:39.:05:45.

there is no intention to close the doors on these people.

:05:46.:05:49.

So Dave and Mike now have until September to find a new home

:05:50.:05:53.

Leaders of some of the region's most important organisations,

:05:54.:06:04.

are planning to sleep rough for a night.

:06:05.:06:08.

More than 20 North East bosses hope to highlight

:06:09.:06:10.

the problems around homelessness by exchanging their cosy beds

:06:11.:06:13.

for hard stone floors in Durham Cathedral.

:06:14.:06:14.

You run multi-million pound organisations, employ hundreds of

:06:15.:06:24.

people, but someone will one day ask you to climb inside a sleeping bag

:06:25.:06:27.

The tricky task isn't a good cause because

:06:28.:06:38.

these bosses are among over 20 movers and shakers highlighting

:06:39.:06:41.

issue of homelessness, doing so by sleeping rough

:06:42.:06:44.

at Durham Cathedral raising money for the charity

:06:45.:06:47.

Mata tries to make awareness of a massive issue and

:06:48.:06:54.

connect people with the community because often they can live

:06:55.:06:59.

sheltered and comfortable lives not confronted with big issues and at

:07:00.:07:03.

events like this they are confronted with an issue and sometimes meet

:07:04.:07:06.

people who are homeless and share experiences and everyone benefits

:07:07.:07:09.

This is where the bosses will lay their weary heads,

:07:10.:07:19.

the stone floors of the cathedral cloisters.

:07:20.:07:24.

On a professional level, the men that I look after, a number

:07:25.:07:27.

of them homeless or with issues of homelessness related to the crime

:07:28.:07:33.

they caused, it is important to raise the profile.

:07:34.:07:47.

Homelessness this is certainly a barrier to someone

:07:48.:07:49.

rehabilitating suffer someone coming out of prison,

:07:50.:07:51.

not having an address is a barrier to gaining implement

:07:52.:07:53.

some of you are filling in a job application what is the employer

:07:54.:07:56.

and aims to raise money for homeless projects across the region.

:07:57.:08:19.

That's the late news, have a good evening.

:08:20.:08:21.

Inspired by this morning's sunshine, Paul, I bought

:08:22.:08:23.

Dare we hope for more sunshine tomorrow?

:08:24.:08:31.

Don't get too carried away! This week, it will be as straightforward

:08:32.:08:41.

as it was over the weekend when the sunshine lift the temperatures as

:08:42.:08:46.

high as 18 cells in some places. It will be unsettled and there will be

:08:47.:08:50.

some rain at times, but I'd stay relatively mild. Tonight, cloud. Low

:08:51.:08:57.

cloud and poor visibility in places, but mist it generally. Temperatures

:08:58.:09:01.

will hold up under the cloud, nothing more than about four

:09:02.:09:07.

Celsius. Tomorrow will be dry, but after a cloudy start, we will see a

:09:08.:09:12.

view breaks appearing. Brief, brighter spells before the cloud

:09:13.:09:16.

thickens up from the south-west later. That brings some showery

:09:17.:09:19.

outbreaks of rain across many parts as we head into tomorrow evening.

:09:20.:09:24.

Temperatures nowhere near as warm as the weekend, but still 14 Celsius,

:09:25.:09:31.

that's not too bad. 57 Fahrenheit. It is that southerly breeze that

:09:32.:09:35.

will help keep things fairly mild over the coming days. Tomorrow

:09:36.:09:40.

night, cloudy, sporadic rain, more especially in the West and

:09:41.:09:44.

underneath all that cloud with the southerly breeze, temperatures no

:09:45.:09:51.

lower than 7-8 C. That takes us into Wednesday, and still cloud around.

:09:52.:09:55.

Still rainy and more west of the Pennines. East of the Pennines, a

:09:56.:10:03.

few spots, but it will be drier. Temperatures of 13-14 C on Wednesday

:10:04.:10:11.

afternoon. There the messy weather chart for the middle of the week.

:10:12.:10:15.

There is low pressure on our weather fronts strung out around it. They

:10:16.:10:20.

will continue to feed cloud and rain at times over our neck of the words

:10:21.:10:25.

as we head toward the end of the week. Through the weekend, there is

:10:26.:10:33.

a bit of a split. On Thursday, cloudy, rainy, fairly light winds.

:10:34.:10:37.

Despite that, without southerly breeze, again, the temperatures may

:10:38.:10:44.

be 16 Celsius. Friday, cloudy. Especially in the West. Rain

:10:45.:10:58.

clearing eastern areas. 14-15 C. He the summary for Saturday and Sunday.

:10:59.:11:01.

He is the national forecast. showery on Saturday, dry and

:11:02.:11:04.

brighter on Sunday and if we go back to the temperatures in the next

:11:05.:11:07.

couple days, you see those highs on Thursday. He is John Hammond with
