This is one of last things left of Washington’s former mines. Now, there’s big plans to keep people wanting to visit the F-Pit for years to come. I take a look inside this incredible landmark and also hear from @bethcentral1

This really is horrible. Couple say they’re devastated after vandals broke in and smashed their art gallery up. Offenders even urinated on art work, which was created over a four period. Sadly, the attack means it may never reopen unless they can get help

I remember speaking to Zaf last year, which ended up going viral across the globe. Here’s how his life has changed a year since those riots . A reminder - countless people have been jailed for “mindless” disorder and smashing up their town and cities centres.
We've found there's been a significant rise in racial and religious hate crimes recorded by police in the months following the riots in the north-east last year. Faith leaders say they live in a "cycle of fear" and are waiting for the "next kick off.".
