Read MoreA psychiatrist from Wylam will be helping Team GB athletes with their mental health during the Tokyo Olympics, which are due to start next month.
Alan Currie, (pictured below) who works for Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW), was selected for the role as a result of his work with the mental health panel of the English Institute of Sport.
He will not be travelling to Tokyo but will offer support remotely leading up to, during and after the competition.
The Olympics will be very different because of the pandemic. Athletes will be in isolation, will not be able to mix with team-mates and will return home after competing, rather than spending time in Tokyo.
Alan said there are lots of things to consider: “There’s the possibility of testing positive for Coronavirus.
"An athlete might qualify for a final and then have a positive test and be unable to compete, we will need to deal with the emotional fallout of that, and that a potentially once-in-a-lifetime chance is gone.”
This will be the first Olympics since Team GB’s mental health panel has been in place.
In this special, Professor Alice Roberts reveals the forgotten story of the Roman Army's secret weapon in Britain - their cavalry. These fearsome horsemen were the key to defending Britain's most famous Roman monument fortification, Hadrian's Wall.
Alice sets off across Hadrian's Wall to investigate any evidence the Roman cavalry left behind, while a team of archaeologists and historical re-enactors attempt to restage a Roman cavalry tournament - a spectacle that no-one has seen for over 1,600 years.
We follow the team's training as they prepare for the performance, and Alice joins them at a public display in Carlisle where 30 riders perform in front of a crowd of spectators.
To put the cavalry's story in context, the film also explores the latest archaeological digs happening across the UK, each of which is searching for new evidence of the Roman cavalry.
On her journey across Hadrian's Wall, Alice visits some of the most iconic sites associated with the Roman cavalry, including Chester's Roman fort, Vindolanda fort and museum and Hexham Abbey. Along the way she builds a picture of the horsemen's lives here on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.
The political map of Cumbria could be redrawn under new proposals to change the boundaries dividing MPs' constituencies.
The Boundary Commission for England says the aim is to make Parliament fairer by giving each MP a roughly similar number of voters.
It means redrawing and renaming some seats.
In Cumbria, there would be a new seat that included part of South Lakeland and north Lancashire, while Copeland would be combined with parts of the Lake District such as Windermere.
The suggestions will have to go through consultation before being finalised.
If approved, the changes would be introduced in time for the 2023 general election.
Cleator Moor is to receive £22.5m from the government's Towns Fund.
The money is part of a plan to "level up" England's regions and follows previously announced funding for Carlisle, Barrow and Workington.
One of the key areas to benefit will be Cleator Moor town square.
Kayleigh Daniels, who chairs the Cleator Moor Town Deal Board, said: "It'll be used for some much-needed investment in the central area of the town and also to invest in our industrial assets.
"It will mean lot as it'll be visible and transformational as well as creating 5km of cycle and walking infrastructure and health and leisure facilities which will be developed for people living in Cleator Moor."
Police say officers were called to the site at Dalton-in-Furness earlier over a "civil dispute".

Read MoreA Cumbrian mother who lost her 18-year-old daughter in a car crash is urging young drivers to be aware of the risks on rural roads.
Sharon Huddleston's daughter Caitlin died four years ago, along with her friend Skye Mitchell in a crash on the A595 near Millom.
Sharon said: "The rural roads campaign is wanting to highlight to young drivers that rural roads are more dangerous to young drivers than any other roads.
"The perception is that it's motorways that are more dangerous but this research from the AA Charitable Trust , externalover the past six years shows rural roads are more dangerous.
"The AA wants to introduce a log book so new drivers can log how many hours they've been on rural roads and, with Caitlin's campaign, I'd like to stop newly qualified drivers from carrying passengers for at least six months, that could save lives too."
The search is on to find the owner of a winning National Lottery ticket bought in Carlisle.
It is worth £1,388,344 after the £20m draw on 22 May.
National Lottery senior winners’ adviser Andy Carter said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.
