Businesses in Scarborough and Whitby have spent the day clearing up

:00:12.:00:15.

after a tidal surge hit the East Coast yesterday.

:00:16.:00:17.

North Yorkshire escaped the worst, but a number

:00:18.:00:19.

As the clean-up started, shopkeepers as part of Whitby said

:00:20.:00:27.

conditions last night were the worst they'd seen.

:00:28.:00:34.

As the clean-up started, shopkeepers in this part of Whitby said

:00:35.:00:37.

conditions last night were the worst they'd seen.

:00:38.:00:39.

The waves were coming up the slipway and straight

:00:40.:00:42.

along Pier Road here, and every time, seemed to go

:00:43.:00:45.

The tidal surge last night was expected,

:00:46.:00:47.

though at one stage, a crashing wave -

:00:48.:00:49.

not caught on camera - hit spectators and carried them

:00:50.:00:52.

I think that was the same wave that hit the Trillos' ice cream hut,

:00:53.:00:57.

I think the lady got bowled over and dragged along with the flow down

:00:58.:01:02.

And these were the scenes in Scarborough last night.

:01:03.:01:07.

The high tides and strong winds damaging part of the sea wall here.

:01:08.:01:11.

Today, Foreshore Road was left under piles of sand.

:01:12.:01:13.

It's been closed for most of the day.

:01:14.:01:17.

When we closed the pier early last night, I went

:01:18.:01:20.

down to the next arcade, that got hit really bad.

:01:21.:01:22.

Yeah, I could've cried, to be quite honest, with the amount

:01:23.:01:28.

After the tidal surge in 2013, it seems this time our coastal

:01:29.:01:34.

Today, a collective sigh of relief here as things begin

:01:35.:01:37.

A merchant seaman suffering a suspected heart attack has been

:01:38.:01:50.

winched off a ship off the coast of Sunderland.

:01:51.:01:52.

A Tynemouth lifeboat crew tried to treat the Chief Engineer on board

:01:53.:01:55.

But as the weather conditions worsened, a Coastguard rescue

:01:56.:02:00.

helicopter was called to winch the casualty to hospital.

:02:01.:02:08.

The police in Cumbria are going to recruit extra staff

:02:09.:02:11.

to tackle an unprecedented rise in the number of historical

:02:12.:02:13.

High profile prosecutions have led to a huge increase in the number

:02:14.:02:17.

of people reporting abuse - as Mark McAlindon reports.

:02:18.:02:24.

Arthur Warwick got away with abusing children for 40 years,

:02:25.:02:26.

until some of his victims found the courage to come forward.

:02:27.:02:29.

This appalling case is an example, though, of a rising trend.

:02:30.:02:37.

We've had about a 25% increase in sexual offences over the last

:02:38.:02:39.

year, and in the previous year before that, we had another 25%

:02:40.:02:43.

increase, so it's a huge increase, a huge burden for us,

:02:44.:02:45.

but what it does show is that people have the confidence to come

:02:46.:02:48.

So we've always known that the levels of sexual offending

:02:49.:02:52.

were higher than that reported to us, but now we're

:02:53.:02:55.

narrowing that gap and more people are coming forward,

:02:56.:02:57.

Andy Slattery says all allegations are investigated, but that it has

:02:58.:03:04.

One of the cases brought before Carlisle Crown Court last year

:03:05.:03:10.

was that of former Scout leader Ian Beeby.

:03:11.:03:12.

He was jailed for five years for a series of historic offences

:03:13.:03:15.

against four young boys back in the 1980s.

:03:16.:03:20.

But while these investigations can be costly and time-consuming,

:03:21.:03:22.

police say they are prepared to throw extra resources

:03:23.:03:24.

We are in the process of recruiting police staff investigators,

:03:25.:03:31.

CID trained retired officers or other people, and they are going

:03:32.:03:34.

to come in and they are going to work specifically

:03:35.:03:36.

on the non-recent allegations in the major investigations.

:03:37.:03:41.

Sport now and in the Premier League, it was nil-nil

:03:42.:03:48.

But Sunderland were beaten 3-1 in their match against Stoke,

:03:49.:03:54.

leaving the Black Cats embedded in the relegation zone.

:03:55.:03:56.

Meanwhile Newcastle are top of the league after their 2-1

:03:57.:03:59.

In League 2, Carlisle United and Morecambe drew 1-1.

:04:00.:04:02.

Hartlepool lost their match against Crawley1-0.

:04:03.:04:03.

Gateshead are out of the FA Trophy having lost 3-1 to Lincoln City.

:04:04.:04:06.

But York won their match against Harlow 2 -1.

:04:07.:04:08.

And in Scottish League Two, Arbroath beat Berwick Rangers 4-1.

:04:09.:04:22.

Now let's see what the weather has in store for us,

:04:23.:04:25.

Well, clear skies overnight initially, so we'll see some

:04:26.:04:29.

frost forming once again, before a band of rain tracks

:04:30.:04:31.

Some snow on the leading edge, but it will turn to rain

:04:32.:04:35.

So this will mean things will turn less cold.

:04:36.:04:39.

We will still see temperatures overnight, though, dropping

:04:40.:04:41.

to around freezing, but it will be a bit of a miserable start

:04:42.:04:44.

Very cloudy, outbreaks A a of rain on and off throughout the day.

:04:45.:04:49.

Very heavy at first, but we'll see a few drier interludes,

:04:50.:04:52.

A much milder day to come, though, with highs of about 9 degrees.

:04:53.:04:56.

There's all the region's political news on Sunday Politics -

:04:57.:05:00.

that's tomorrow morning on BBC One at 11.

:05:01.:05:02.

And our next bulletin will be tomorrow evening at 6.20.

:05:03.:05:16.

Getting the detail of this cold snap is proving to be challenging and

:05:17.:05:22.

will continue to be so over the next 24 hours. Ice around across eastern

:05:23.:05:25.

parts after the earlier showers then rain pushing in from Northern

:05:26.:05:30.

Ireland across Scotland and a period of snow across eastern Scotland

:05:31.:05:35.

temporarily. It will extend into northern Wales and England too. A

:05:36.:05:37.

chilly night
