  1. A group of older people look towards the sun in what appears to be mild amazement while clutching pairs of special glasses designed to protect their eyes from damage. The rims are made from card, with circular spectacles in the middle.

  3. Anastasiia Sochka smiling into the camera. She has long, light brown hair which is parted down the middle. She is wearing a black hoodie which is open at the front and a brown top with the Adidas logo on it. She is wearing a black lanyard with white writing on it. Sochka is standing in front of a beige brick building with a rectangular window.

  4. Mugshot of David Kelly. He is clean shaven with very short grey hair, cropped at the sides. He has a piercing in his left eyebrow and appears to have a small tattoo next to his left eye.

  5. A silhouetted image of the solar eclipse shows eight people standing on a hill watching the eclipse. Only a sliver of sun is visible and it appears to be very large against the silhouettes of the people.

  6. Blyth beach at low tide, looking back to the beach from the water. Colourful huts line the beach and a man with a red top runs along the promenade. The huts are reflected in the water and the sky is very blue.

  7. Stock image of a grey-haired woman with a nurse in a blue gown. The woman is wearing a white medical gown and standing sideways by medical equipment. She is being helped by the nurse who is wearing white gloves. The woman looks nervous. You can only see the back of the nurse's head.

  10. An aerial view of the new Berwick hospital mid construction. Green panelling has been paced over the sprawling hospital building while work is under way. An excavator and a large lorry are parked outside. There are rows of houses behind it.

  11. Neil Cook. He is bald and clean shaven and his eyes appear out of focus.

  12. Two men working on a repair on the motorway. They are wearing orange high-vis tops and bottoms, each donning a hard hat. One is reaching into a hole they have created in the concrete. On the other side of the carriageway, across the concrete barrier, cars continue to flow through - but a lane has been cordoned off with orange cones.

    Gateshead have signed defender Alex Lankshear on a one-year contract with an option for an additional year.

    The 23-year-old, who is the older brother of Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear, played 35 games for Boston United last season before going on loan to Ebbsfleet.

    He cited the presence of manager Lee Cattermole as one of the attractions for the move to the north-east.

    "I'm a defender that loves to defend his goal but also attack the goal," he told the club website.

    "One of my goals this year is to get better in attacking. One of the reasons I wanted to come here is that I think he can really develop my game on that side of things.

    "At this stage in my career it's about progressing. He played at the top levels and I feel he can progress me as a player."

    Lankshear could make his debut in Gateshead's first home National League game of the season against Woking on Saturday.

  14. A Google Streetview screenshot of the railway bridge crossing the A19 near Howdon, North Tyneside. There are more cars on the left hand side than the right and, while there is a good amount of traffic, it is not overly busy. A green junction sign directs traffic straight on to Morpeth, Tynemouth and Newcastle, or left to Wallsend and North Shields. There is also a ferry outline on the sign, with a car and van sitting in the body of the ship to denote a vehicle ferry. The sky seems overcast and all the vehicles have their lights on.

    Carlisle United have signed goalkeeper Adam Desbois from National League rivals Gateshead for an undisclosed fee.

    The 25-year-old arrives at Brunton Park where he will link up with former boss Rob Elliot again, on a two-year contract with the option of a further year.

    Desbois, who initially came through the Reading academy, played an important role in Gateshead's relegation escape under Elliot last season, keeping five clean sheets in 12 appearances including one at Carlisle in April.

    "He has excellent technical qualities, is a very good shot-stopper and is comfortable with the ball at his feet, which gives him the ability to play the way we want to play," Elliot told the club website.

    "He's already shown his quality consistently at this level.

    "We believe he'll be a really strong addition to the group and we're looking forward to working with him and helping him continue to develop."

    Before his move to Gateshead, Desbois spent the first part of last season with Slough Town, making 33 league appearances in the National League South.
