:00:40. > :00:42.November, 1995 - a young man, Justin Smith, has been found
:00:43. > :00:46.murdered close to the Gateshead side of the Tyne Bridge.
:00:47. > :00:52.When he grew up, he was just a normal teenager.

:00:57. > :00:59.He enjoyed a can of lager and that type of thing,

:01:11. > :01:13.She found out six weeks ago that Justin's brain and windpipe
:01:14. > :01:15.were removed and kept at South Tyneside Hospital.
:01:16. > :01:21.It's latest case to emerge from an audit of missing body tissue.

:03:15. > :03:19.And it's part of wider plans to regenerate the town centre.
:03:20. > :03:22.But critics point to the empty Swallow Hotel,
:03:23. > :03:26.They say it's become a physical symbol of failure and one

:03:43. > :03:45.We would have a queue of them if it was a huge opportunity.
:03:46. > :03:47.But actually, I think this is a risk.

:04:16. > :04:21.We can only spend it on projects like this.
:04:22. > :04:23.But as the profits come through from this hotel,

:06:05. > :06:08.A time limit which she says is deterring shoppers.
:06:09. > :06:11.They want time to look and, suddenly, they're
:06:12. > :06:13.looking at their watches again and saying, "Oh, I'm really sorry,
:06:14. > :06:18.So, I've got dresses left out and I've lost a sale.

:06:46. > :06:47.I've spoken to a lot that have come out for the
:06:48. > :06:50.day and had the day spoiled, really, by getting a ticket.

:08:11. > :08:12.I wanted to get out in the countryside, get out
:08:13. > :08:16.with my mate Bandit, my ferret, and just enjoy myself.
:08:17. > :08:19.And I feel, well, why not do this as a fundraiser as well?
:08:20. > :08:21.To help me through the grieving process.
:08:22. > :08:24.So, that's kind of the way I look at it - this is me

:09:28. > :09:37.Good evening, there was a lot of cloud around today and there's
:09:38. > :09:40.a lot of cloud around overnight, that cloud thick enough for some
:09:41. > :09:44.In fact, the rain might become more widespread in the west
:09:45. > :09:48.Not as cold as last night, though, with a lot more cloud
:09:49. > :09:50.and that westerly breeze, temperatures no lower than about
:09:51. > :09:55.It's a damp cloudy start from many tomorrow.
:09:56. > :09:57.The rain will always be more intermittent in eastern areas,
:09:58. > :10:00.more widespread further west and, eventually, later in the day,
:10:01. > :10:05.we will start to see some dryer, brighter weather get into northern
:10:06. > :10:09.areas, but that'll be a slow improvement late in the day.
:10:10. > :10:12.Temperatures will struggle up to 12, perhaps 13 Celsius in one
:10:13. > :10:15.or two spots, and again, a bit of a brisk

:10:21. > :10:24.with high pressure down to the south-west and low pressure
:10:25. > :10:26.to the north-east keeping that north-westerly airflow.
:10:27. > :10:29.A few weather fronts to the east coming round the high-pressure
:10:30. > :10:31.as well, thickening up the cloud from time to time.
:10:32. > :10:35.So, for Saturday, it looks as if we're in one of the phases
:10:36. > :10:40.There will be some blue sky for many of us,
:10:41. > :10:43.Temperatures only just into double figures though,
:10:44. > :10:46.add in that north-westerly wind, which will be quite
:10:47. > :10:48.strong and at times, it will feel quite cool.
:10:49. > :10:51.Easter Sunday we're back into the cloudier skies
