earnings growth. Philip Hammond says

he hopes to prove the earnings

forecasts wrong.

0:00:000:00:02

Good afternoon, welcome

to the lunchtime Look North.

0:00:020:00:04

In the headlines...

0:00:040:00:06

Cumbria once again battered

by rainfall, but it looks

0:00:060:00:08

like the worst is over - for now.

0:00:080:00:13

Newcastle United supporters

top the league for banning orders

0:00:130:00:16

for the third year running.

0:00:160:00:26

It's been another brutal

night of storms and heavy

0:00:290:00:31

rain in Cumbria, but thankfully

it seems the county

0:00:310:00:33

has escaped the worst.

0:00:330:00:36

Some properties have been affected

and travel has been difficult,

0:00:360:00:38

but it seems there water

is now receding.

0:00:380:00:40

Mark McAlindon sent us this report.

0:00:400:00:49

This was the scene in Rugby Park and

the heart of Carlisle this morning.

0:00:490:00:53

This is flood plain land but the

sheer volume of land is eye opening.

0:00:530:00:57

-- water. The south of the county

has been affected as well as most

0:00:570:01:03

Carlisle. Children in some schools

have been also given a day off.

0:01:030:01:09

Across Cumbria this morning we are

told that seven schools remained

0:01:090:01:12

closed including this one here just

outside Carlisle. The school was

0:01:120:01:18

badly two years ago and staff here

have been taking what precautions

0:01:180:01:21

they can with the front door

sandbagged and temporary flood

0:01:210:01:24

guards. Travel is badly disrupted,

too. Railways along the coast have

0:01:240:01:30

been closed, and between her and

Lancaster. Almost lunchtime now and

0:01:300:01:37

while the Environment Agency is

hopeful the levels are now receding

0:01:370:01:41

what you can see here is a perfect

illustration of the amount of water

0:01:410:01:45

dumped across Cumbria in the past

few hours. It seems the worst may be

0:01:450:01:49

over but having said that the impact

is still being felt. Roads remained

0:01:490:01:54

closed like this one here and the

police warn drivers to take extra

0:01:540:01:58

care. Standing water reduced traffic

flows on the M6 earlier and police

0:01:580:02:02

dealt with an accident near

Carlisle. Hopefully the worst is now

0:02:020:02:06

over.

0:02:060:02:08

Newcastle United has the highest

number of football banning orders

0:02:080:02:10

for the third year running.

0:02:100:02:13

According to the Home Office,

0:02:130:02:14

111 Newcastle supporters

were banned last season.

0:02:140:02:17

That's more than any other club

in the top five divisions

0:02:170:02:20

in England and Wales.

0:02:200:02:26

There were also more bans

for Middlesbrough and Carlisle fans.

0:02:260:02:29

Our News Correspondent Mark

Denten has been looking

0:02:290:02:31

at the statistics and joins me now.

0:02:310:02:33

Mark the basics first.

0:02:330:02:34

what is a football banning order?

0:02:340:02:38

These are issued by courts on the

behalf of police and Crown

0:02:380:02:43

Prosecution Service 's and cover

football related offences. A wide

0:02:430:02:47

definition of those, throwing

missiles at a ground but also

0:02:470:02:49

invading the pitch but the

definition is white and can also

0:02:490:02:53

have an outside of football grounds.

-- can also happen outside football

0:02:530:02:57

grounds. 24 hours either side of a

match will stop they can be up to

0:02:570:03:03

three years. -- up to a decade. 111

of these banning orders for

0:03:030:03:11

Newcastle supporters in the last

season when they were in the

0:03:110:03:14

championship, bigger than any figure

for the clubs in England and Wales,

0:03:140:03:18

the top five divisions. A fall on

the previous two seasons but other

0:03:180:03:23

clubs are affected as well, some

other clubs in the region, small

0:03:230:03:26

increases for Middlesbrough but also

for Carlisle and a fall in

0:03:260:03:33

Sunderland from 37 to 23.

Better

news, but perversely on arrests.

0:03:330:03:40

Shorter than banning orders are fans

getting arrested. The number halved,

0:03:400:03:49

and also in Sunderland but an

increase in Middlesbrough.

It comes

0:03:490:03:57

down to one thing, you had to take

them with a slight pinch of salt,

0:03:570:04:04

it's not a direct comparison season

on season.

Yes, the calendar

0:04:040:04:09

measurements made are slightly

different in different seasons

0:04:090:04:10

Colin.

0:04:100:04:18

A project has been launched to take

care of dogs caught up in domestic

0:04:180:04:23

violence. When owners leave their

partners and move into a women's

0:04:230:04:30

refuge, the pets will be looked

after.

0:04:300:04:35

The Freedom Project is ran

by the Dog's Trust and foster carers

0:04:350:04:37

will take in pets when their owners

leave their partners and move

0:04:370:04:40

into a women's refuge.

0:04:400:04:41

They'll look after the animal

as their own until the owner is able

0:04:410:04:45

to take the dog back and care

for it themselves again.

0:04:450:04:47

The majority of the time we have to

get vaccinations up to date. If it

0:04:470:04:50

has come from a domestic violence

background, the last thing on the

0:04:500:04:53

owner's mind is to get the

vaccinations done, or anything

0:04:530:04:55

similar, she is probably too is

worried about the children than the

0:04:550:04:57

dog.

0:04:570:04:58

160 weapons and large quantities

of ammunition have been handed

0:04:580:05:00

in to Northumbria Police

in a firearms amnesty.

0:05:000:05:02

They include guns that date as far

back as World War 1 and World War 2.

0:05:020:05:06

The national firerearms surrender

campaign, Operation Aztec runs

0:05:060:05:08

until the end of Sunday.

0:05:080:05:18

The capsule in which British

astronaut Tim Peake travelled back

0:05:230:05:26

to the earth from space -

has gone on display

0:05:260:05:28

in County Durham.

0:05:280:05:29

Major Peake spent six months

on the International

0:05:290:05:31

Space Station last year.

0:05:310:05:32

His spacecraft - complete with char

marks from his re-entry to earth -

0:05:320:05:35

will be on show at Locomotion,

The National Rail Museum in Shildon

0:05:350:05:38

until the middle of January.

0:05:380:05:39

And there's no charge

to go and see it.

0:05:390:05:41

From its an incredible opportunity

for the town, County Durham and the

0:05:410:05:44

region to post something with such

international fame and so current

0:05:440:05:47

with Tim Peake only in space last

year. It's something capturing the

0:05:470:05:50

imagination of all of our visitors

and social media is alive and

0:05:500:05:53

kicking in already so it is really

exciting times for us.

0:05:530:05:59

A plant nursery, which had its glass

roof destroyed by a freak hailstorm,

0:05:590:06:02

is back in business

and about to ship out a huge

0:06:020:06:05

batch of Poinsettias

in time for Christmas.

0:06:050:06:07

The bright red and green foliage

of the plant is of course synonymous

0:06:070:06:10

with the festive season.

0:06:100:06:13

But the owners of Ravensworth

Nurseries, near Richmond

0:06:130:06:15

weren't celebrating 18 months ago,

when thousands of panes of glass

0:06:150:06:17

were smashed by giant hailstones.

0:06:170:06:22

It started about nine o'clock and it

was hailstones the size of golf

0:06:220:06:25

balls and you could just hear

everything smashing. We lost about

0:06:250:06:32

every other pane of glass,

about 8,000 in total,

0:06:320:06:36

the whole nursery.

0:06:360:06:41

We had to replace them because

otherwise we wouldn't be able to

0:06:410:06:44

grow these because they come from

much more temperate climates,

0:06:440:06:48

further south, so we need

temperatures stable at 20 degrees

0:06:480:06:53

so without glass that

would be impossible.

0:06:530:07:01

Football and Middlesbrough moved

back into the Championship play-off

0:07:010:07:03

places with victory over struggling

Birmingham at the

0:07:030:07:05

Riverside last night.

0:07:050:07:06

Boro secured a fifth home win

of the season as Britt Assombalonga

0:07:060:07:09

scored twice in the first half.

0:07:090:07:10

The club's record signing

was on hand when Tomasz Kuszczak

0:07:100:07:13

could only parry Stewart Downing's

fierce shot and he latched

0:07:130:07:15

onto Fabio Da Silva's pass

for his 11th goal of the season.

0:07:150:07:18

Boro are up to sixth ahead

of Derby's visit this weekend.

0:07:180:07:25

Now the weather. Not as windy

perhaps not as wet either but a bit

0:07:250:07:29

perhaps not as wet either but a bit

of a stink coming today. Another

0:07:290:07:33

warning out for overnight, and that

is for ice. Conditions are really

0:07:330:07:36

changing this afternoon as we head

towards the weekend which is quieter

0:07:360:07:40

but that brings with it a warning.

This afternoon, fairly breezy still,

0:07:400:07:46

gales along the West Coast, some

showers yes but the west has been

0:07:460:07:51

and gone. The pressure drives our

weather at the moment and as we

0:07:510:07:56

approach the weekend the winds swing

round to a north-westerly direction.

0:07:560:08:00

That brings them cooler air and

widespread frost Saturday and Sunday

0:08:000:08:04

mornings will stop there are still a

few showers on the map, less

0:08:040:08:12

frequent but wintry over high

ground. Through the evening the

0:08:120:08:17

winds will fall, temperatures today

we sing about it Celsius, feeling

0:08:170:08:22

cooler than that in the wind. This

evening and overnight showers, yes,

0:08:220:08:29

wintry on high ground with sleet and

snow, but largely dry pictures.

0:08:290:08:34

Winds fall, clear skies, and frost

forms, the blue areas on the map not

0:08:340:08:40

actually rain for a change.

Temperatures right down in minus

0:08:400:08:44

figures relate, bringing us to the

weather warning for ice. Lots of

0:08:440:08:48

water on the road that may well

freeze, so the warning really just

0:08:480:08:53

affects part of Cumbria, take things

nice and steady first thing

0:08:530:08:56

tomorrow, gritters may not yet be at

this time of year. Once the sunshine

0:08:560:09:00

kicks in it will be a beautiful day,

a few showers through the afternoon

0:09:000:09:03

bringing risks of sleet and snow

over high ground but lighter winds

0:09:030:09:08

and temperatures tomorrow reaching

five or six so very chilly and

0:09:080:09:13

feeling chilly this weekend, too.

Sunday looks like the best day.

0:09:130:09:18

feeling chilly this weekend, too.

Sunday looks like the best day.

0:09:180:09:19

Could be quite an interesting day

first thing tomorrow. That's it from

0:09:190:09:24

us on the lunchtime team. We will

see you at 6:30pm. Goodbye.
