:00:28. > :00:30.Events are taking place across our region today

:01:12. > :01:15.Inevitably, that increases feelings of anger and concern here.
:01:16. > :01:18.But today a class of primary school children took matters
:01:19. > :01:20.into their own hands by staging random acts of kindness
:01:21. > :01:29.Did you make them all yourself or did people buy them?

:01:34. > :01:46.Even though we can't change the feelings of the people in Manchester
:01:47. > :01:50.this week we know we can make a positive difference. The children
:01:51. > :01:54.came up with the idea of random acts of kindness, giving out free cakes
:01:55. > :01:59.and cookies in the city centre today. I think it is fantastic it
:02:00. > :02:04.shows that people in the north-east, what they are like. Wonderful
:02:05. > :02:09.people. I've been here 14 years now, and I blogged every minute. It has
:02:10. > :02:11.little children. It shows is how much we need to stop thinking about
:02:12. > :02:16.other people. Cakes and sweets were donated
:02:17. > :02:26.by local companies. How does it make you feel to be
:02:27. > :02:31.being kind to be booked? Really good because it makes me feel proud about
:02:32. > :02:35.myself because some of these people could have been injured. It is
:02:36. > :02:36.making me feel happy because I'm getting to spread kindness and love
:02:37. > :02:37.to Newcastle. This wasn't motivated
:02:38. > :02:39.as a fund-raising exercise but people wanted to match random
:02:40. > :02:55.acts of kindness with their own Because they have been affected
:02:56. > :03:01.about and they want to talk about it. Our job, we are to teach English
:03:02. > :03:04.and maths but we also have to teach them to be good considerate people
:03:05. > :03:09.and to understand that within this world there are far more good people
:03:10. > :03:12.bad people. I think we have seen that today. Is it the right thing to
:03:13. > :03:17.do to take them out lessons to be here today? To be honest if you
:03:18. > :03:25.think of all the skills without this week, children on the bone to

:04:10. > :04:15.you don't cope with it, you live it, sometimes it goes to the back
:04:16. > :04:19.of your head you forget about it, sometimes it's

:05:05. > :05:08.they are trying their best, but if we can help,
:05:09. > :05:13.that's what we want to do. He's kept up the new experiences
:05:14. > :05:21.ever since the terminal diagnosis, I still think that despite all
:05:22. > :05:25.of the chemotherapy and everything, I just want to show people that,
:05:26. > :05:32.I might have had this illness but at the end
:05:33. > :05:35.of the day, it is an illness. It might be something really,
:05:36. > :05:40.really horrible, but get on with it. Live it while you've got

:06:37. > :06:40.site, purely from an archaeological point of view,
:06:41. > :06:45.that would be absolutely wonderful. The last two days
:06:46. > :06:48.have been glorious there's been beautiful
:06:49. > :06:49.sunshine right across our the North East
:06:50. > :06:52.and Cumbria, these shots here show But will the fine weather last this
:06:53. > :06:55.bank holiday weekend? Hello, again, good afternoon I hope
:06:56. > :07:03.you are enjoying the sunshine. Plenty more to come
:07:04. > :07:06.through the course of the afternoon. We've had so many gorgeous weather
:07:07. > :07:08.watcher photos sent in. It's hard to pick just
:07:09. > :07:11.one, but here's one of them sent in by one of our
:07:12. > :07:13.weather watchers today. Sunny and hot is the headline
:07:14. > :07:15.for this afternoon, not too shabby for a
:07:16. > :07:17.Friday May afternoon. What we have seen over the last few
:07:18. > :07:20.days is similar whether all due to high pressure
:07:21. > :07:22.pushing that low away. Now it will make an appearance
:07:23. > :07:25.and because of the weekend so we are going to see some
:07:26. > :07:28.wet weather, some fairly heavy showers through the course
:07:29. > :07:31.of the day tomorrow and some rain It wouldn't be a Bank Holiday
:07:32. > :07:40.without some rain. So, if we take a look at this
:07:41. > :07:43.afternoon, not an awful lot changes on the map, you can see just a very
:07:44. > :07:47.small amount of fair weather cloud bubbling up through the course
:07:48. > :07:49.of the afternoon, but the most wall-to-wall sunshine,
:07:50. > :07:51.temperatures really responding. For parts of Cumbria,
:07:52. > :07:58.further inland, as well, only in coast we could see these
:07:59. > :08:00.temperatures reaching a little bit There is an onshore breeze so long
:08:01. > :08:04.that East coast it will feel a bit cooler, but actually still
:08:05. > :08:07.quite pleasant as you can imagine. So, through this evening and
:08:08. > :08:09.overnight remaining bright, clear The onshore breeze
:08:10. > :08:13.may blow some mist These are our overnight
:08:14. > :08:16.temperatures, more representative, really,
:08:17. > :08:18.of our average daytime highs It's not going be a great night

:08:30. > :08:34.and the low cloud should lift and we should see some sunshine
