we are back with the late News at Ten - now on BBC One its time

:00:00.:00:11.

Bradley Lowery has been accepted onto a cancer trial

:00:12.:00:15.

The five-year-old from County Durham is terminally ill with

:00:16.:00:21.

a rare type of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma.

:00:22.:00:24.

Bradley's parents said on their Facebook account that

:00:25.:00:27.

they're meeting with a professor at the hospital this week.

:00:28.:00:29.

They'll make a decision once they know the results

:00:30.:00:32.

The trial has been funded by Cancer Research UK.

:00:33.:00:37.

A woman has died in a diving accident off the coast

:00:38.:00:40.

The diver disappeared after surfacing just before

:00:41.:00:43.

She was rescued following a search by a coastguard helicopter

:00:44.:00:49.

and lifeboats from Seahouses - but died at the scene.

:00:50.:00:54.

Labour's Shadow Housing Minister says people in the North East

:00:55.:00:57.

are losing their homes because the Government's

:00:58.:00:59.

new benefits system is pushing them into debt.

:01:00.:01:02.

City of Durham MP Roberta Blackman-Woods told BBC's

:01:03.:01:05.

Sunday Politics that universal credit was failing.

:01:06.:01:10.

Not only are people having to wait six weeks, often they are waiting

:01:11.:01:13.

six months and ending up in huge debt.

:01:14.:01:21.

A lot of people in the private sector are losing their homes.

:01:22.:01:25.

So this whole system which is supposed to support

:01:26.:01:27.

the most vulnerable is attacking them and making large

:01:28.:01:29.

Stockton Conservative councillor Matthew Vickers said universal

:01:30.:01:33.

benefit was more straightforward and fairer than what

:01:34.:01:35.

This change simplifies a huge mess of benefits that were all different.

:01:36.:01:42.

It's fair for people paying for it, it's fair

:01:43.:01:45.

It's not about how well you know your way around

:01:46.:01:49.

It's simple, it avoids fraud, it will reduce the administration

:01:50.:01:52.

costs and it is a fair system that will help people get back into work

:01:53.:01:56.

and will not penalise them if they try to get off benefits.

:01:57.:02:01.

Police are appealing for witnesses after a car left the road

:02:02.:02:04.

and crashed into a bank in County Durham.

:02:05.:02:06.

Police say the car set off from Middlestone Moor and headed

:02:07.:02:11.

Officers believe a number of people were in the car and they are now

:02:12.:02:17.

The organisers of a scheme run by members of the Sikh community

:02:18.:02:23.

in Middlesbrough which provides food for homeless people in the town

:02:24.:02:27.

are hoping to expand the idea across other parts of Teesside.

:02:28.:02:30.

They are hoping to attract more volunteers which would help more

:02:31.:02:33.

of the 2,000 estimated homeless people in the North East.

:02:34.:02:36.

Hot food prepared at the Sikh temple down the road has been transported

:02:37.:02:43.

It just goes to show you that there are people out there who care,

:02:44.:02:58.

Because people forget about the people that are on the street.

:02:59.:03:03.

It's very important because it is part of our Sikh culture -

:03:04.:03:06.

by helping people and people in need, we are always hoping

:03:07.:03:08.

to help anyone and our Sikh temples are open to anyone as well.

:03:09.:03:12.

David has a roof over his head but says life is getting

:03:13.:03:16.

I'm on benefits, I'm on low benefits, so it is

:03:17.:03:23.

Up to 40 people are fed here each week.

:03:24.:03:35.

The volunteers say they are just happy to help.

:03:36.:03:39.

You get choked up, you think, well, you are doing something for somebody

:03:40.:03:42.

else and hopefully you will never be in that position and if you ever

:03:43.:03:45.

do fall on bad times, there's somebody there to help you.

:03:46.:03:50.

A much-needed hot meal has been provided and the people

:03:51.:03:53.

who come here are sent away with food for later.

:03:54.:04:01.

An osprey has returned to Bassenthwaite in

:04:02.:04:03.

The female, known as KL had three chicks last year but two

:04:04.:04:09.

Last week, she was spotted with a male at the breeding

:04:10.:04:14.

Returning for the fifth year running.

:04:15.:04:18.

Ospreys returned to the Lake District in 2001,

:04:19.:04:19.

after an absence of more than 150 years.

:04:20.:04:24.

More than 100 elite cyclists have been competing in the first

:04:25.:04:28.

Three-times Olympic Champion Ed Clancy was just one of the country's

:04:29.:04:33.

top cyclists competing in the event which is a qualifier

:04:34.:04:36.

But in the end, it was a great day for Chris Latham

:04:37.:04:43.

from Team Wiggins who won the race after a sprint finish.

:04:44.:04:47.

In football news, in the Premier League, a goalless draw

:04:48.:04:50.

between Middlesbrough away at Swansea's Liberty Stadium -

:04:51.:04:53.

a game that does little to ease their Premier League

:04:54.:04:57.

The weather now to start the week with Alena Jenkins.

:04:58.:05:16.

We saw a couple of showers around this morning.

:05:17.:05:18.

They quickly faded and foremost, and your sunshine today.

:05:19.:05:20.

A fine evening, clear skies and through this evening that

:05:21.:05:23.

as the night wears on, we could see low-level

:05:24.:05:25.

Temperatures down to 4C in the centre of town

:05:26.:05:40.

and in the countryside, closer to 2C.

:05:41.:05:41.

Mist and fog quickly lifts tomorrow and then plenty

:05:42.:05:49.

That sunshine turning hazier across more western areas late

:05:50.:05:53.

in the afternoon as some cloud spills across.

:05:54.:05:59.

Strengthening southerly breeze and NBC 's rain overnight tomorrow.

:06:00.:06:10.

It was a lovely second part to the weekend for most parts of the UK,

:06:11.:06:16.

lots of sunshine, more cloud to the east but in the last few hours it

:06:17.:06:21.

started to melt away and the process will continue, most places seeing

:06:22.:06:25.

lengthy clear spells overnight and much like last night it will turn a

:06:26.:06:29.

bit chilly. We might see mist and fog, like winds, more of a breeze in

:06:30.:06:36.

the north and west, cloud and patchy rain approaching the Western Isles

:06:37.:06:37.
