Good evening. If only they had been wearing seatbelts. The coroner

:00:08.:00:12.

delivers his verdict on the Keswicks school bus crash.

:00:12.:00:17.

He is keeping a tight rein on spending at Newcastle United but

Mike Ashley's sportsdirect.com's staff have a �48,000 gift to smile

about. And the doctors making a difficult

:00:29.:00:39.
:00:39.:00:42.

decision about cancer. -- doctors. Lovely people here.

:00:42.:00:46.

In sport, proof that the new football season is around the

corner and, just to make life confusing, it will ALloyd lookalike

:01:08.:01:09.

Their deaths were accidental but 15-year-old Kieran Goulding and 16-

:01:10.:01:13.

year-old Chloe Walker would probably still be alive today if

:01:13.:01:18.

they had been wearing seatbelts. Those were the conclusions of the

:01:18.:01:23.

coroner into the inquest of the Keswick school bus crash. He said

:01:23.:01:29.

the most likely cause was that the driver of a car had fallen asleep

:01:29.:01:34.

at the Biel. An officer described this as the

:01:34.:01:39.

worst accident he had seen in 20 years. It busload of children from

:01:39.:01:43.

the Keswick School involved in a crash on the way home. A car drove

:01:43.:01:50.

head-on into them on May 24th last year. Two children were killed,

:01:50.:01:55.

Kieran Goulding and Chloe Walker. At the inquest, the coroner said

:01:55.:01:58.

that their lives could have been saved if they were readings seat

:01:58.:02:07.

belts. -- wearing seatbelts. Neither could brace themselves and

:02:07.:02:12.

were thrown through the window and crushed beneath the bus as it

:02:12.:02:17.

tipped over. We need to get the message to

:02:17.:02:22.

everyone, specifically young people on school transport, if there is a

:02:22.:02:32.
:02:32.:02:33.

seat belt available, with it. -- wear it. The coroner said that the

:02:33.:02:38.

bus driver did everything he could and that the culture of not wearing

:02:38.:02:42.

seatbelts was to blame, not the legislation.

:02:42.:02:45.

The inquest focused on why the driver was on the wrong side of the

:02:45.:02:51.

road as he headed home from work. Today, the coroner said he believed

:02:51.:02:58.

he has -- he was falling asleep at the wheel. It was a hot, sunny day.

:02:58.:03:05.

After the inquest, Mr Short's family would have been shattered by

:03:05.:03:09.

the consequences. Above all, I want to express our

:03:10.:03:14.

peace -- deepest sympathy for the families of the children who died

:03:14.:03:19.

and those who were injured and the driver of the coach. Patrick, more

:03:19.:03:23.

than anyone, would be devastated at what happened.

:03:23.:03:28.

Kieran Goulding's Mother was present throughout the inquest. In

:03:28.:03:35.

a statement afterwards, she said, All I Want Is My beautiful boy home.

:03:35.:03:42.

Chloe Walker's family said they had decided not to attend because she

:03:42.:03:46.

was there happy, beautiful daughter and they did not want that

:03:46.:03:52.

memorably tarnished. We have a lot of memories of that

:03:52.:04:00.

day and of Cuban and Chloe. Their friends have felt that great loss.

:04:00.:04:07.

-- Kieran and Chloe. In his closing comments, the

:04:07.:04:12.

coroner said, the loss of bright, young talented people is a loss to

:04:12.:04:22.
:04:22.:04:28.

us all. He recorded three verdicts Football fans might think he is

:04:28.:04:31.

tight-fisted but those who work for him probably have a different

:04:31.:04:37.

opinion. Mike Ashley, owner of Newcastle United. His company,

:04:37.:04:43.

sportsdirect.com, has made profits in the last year of �200 million so

:04:43.:04:47.

he has decided to share it is 7 million with the people that work

:04:47.:04:57.
:04:57.:04:59.

in the company's shops. On average, they will receive �48,600.

:04:59.:05:06.

The customers keep coming. Tennis racket and tennis balls. �13

Star Fun under instructions not to talk to reporters. -- staff are

under instruction. If the staff wanted footballs, they

:05:25.:05:35.
:05:35.:05:43.

could buy 8722 of these. When we told the customers about the bonus

:05:43.:05:48.

share payments, they thought we were talking rubbish.

:05:48.:05:57.

You do not believe me? No. It is the truth. That is incredible.

:05:57.:06:06.

you believe me. Know. It is the truth. How many people does he have

:06:06.:06:14.

working for him? 2,000 people. On a visit to the region, the

:06:15.:06:21.

deputy secretary of the TUC who took some convincing. I always

:06:21.:06:24.

encourage the workers to read the small print and checked the detail

:06:24.:06:29.

but by all accounts this is good news for those workers. But you

:06:30.:06:34.

still find this hard to believe? These are tough times for working

:06:34.:06:38.

people in Britain today so if there there is some good news, we should

:06:38.:06:45.

celebrate. Of course this bonus is for

:06:45.:06:50.

sportsdirect.com, not the football club.

:06:50.:06:53.

In a tough retail world where figures have not been good this

:06:53.:06:59.

week, it is great that Mike has posted those. Is it time to knock

:06:59.:07:04.

on the door and ask? It might be.

:07:04.:07:08.

The staff cannot cash in their shares for a year by which time

:07:08.:07:18.

they might be worth more. The Darlington based care home

:07:18.:07:22.

company Southern Cross has withdrawn plans to make 3,000 staff

:07:22.:07:26.

redundant. The company announced earlier this week it was being

:07:26.:07:36.

wound up. It is aiming to see all 750 homes transferred to other

:07:36.:07:41.

landlords. It postman who was allegedly bitten

:07:41.:07:45.

by a dog owned by a top jobs has been told there would be no

:07:45.:07:52.

prosecution because it happened on private land. The 57-year-old

:07:52.:07:57.

cannot be prosecuted under the dangerous Dogs Act because the

:07:57.:08:01.

incident took place in a private garden.

:08:01.:08:11.

In 1987, Julia Booth, in BBC presenter, had a double mastectomy.

:08:11.:08:18.

Her doctors are now aiming to find out if they also have the mutated

:08:18.:08:22.

gene and if they would opt to have the operation.

:08:22.:08:29.

Julia Booth lost her mother at 18 years old. Many years later, a test

:08:29.:08:35.

suggested she had and 85% chance of developing the disease as well. She

:08:35.:08:42.

had both breasts removed. I feel fantastic about everything.

:08:42.:08:47.

I really do. 14 years later, another documentary is following

:08:47.:08:53.

her daughter's. Have they also inherited the role Jean?

:08:53.:09:01.

I wish they were older. It is a world of difference. I feel sad for

:09:01.:09:04.

her that she should have to think about these kind of things when she

:09:04.:09:12.

should just be having a good time. I have done a fair bit of partying.

:09:12.:09:22.
:09:22.:09:23.

But she has had to grow up a bit. In the film, Lucy takes the test to

:09:23.:09:30.

find out her likelihood of developing the cancer.

:09:30.:09:34.

This stands for the breast cancer gene number one...

:09:34.:09:39.

They come across very well in the film, very emotionally open. I am

:09:39.:09:47.

immensely proud of them. They are wonderful. I think they are brave.

:09:47.:09:52.

Whatever they have to face, they will say sit in a loving family

:09:52.:09:59.

environment. You make it sound like the Waltons!

:09:59.:10:08.

You can find out the result of the tests on tonight's programme.

:10:08.:10:15.

That documentary is on BBC Three tonight at 9pm.

The company that had been in Darlington since 1874 but the up

:10:21.:10:26.

market conservatory maker Amdega went bust earlier this year.

:10:26.:10:30.

Observatories that would have cost tens of thousands of Pounds went

:10:30.:10:37.

for hundreds but there has also been good news for the workers.

:10:37.:10:43.

The last remnants of Amdega awaiting auction. The final sale of

:10:43.:10:46.

work from the world's oldest Conservative a company that was

:10:46.:10:53.

brought down by a lack of sales. A company that has acquired the stock

:10:53.:10:58.

has had no lack of interest. We have had a lot of interest in

:10:58.:11:08.
:11:08.:11:10.

this auction. We had people on side, generally interested in the name.

:11:10.:11:15.

Amdega represents craftsmanship that might not be repeated. So much

:11:15.:11:21.

for the stock, what about the workers? 200 have lost their jobs.

:11:21.:11:29.

20 have been -- 20 have been taken on by this timber company.

:11:29.:11:33.

They have adapted very well and they are used to working with

:11:33.:11:36.

timber which is important for us so it has not been a difficult

:11:36.:11:42.

transition for them. We have gained additional skills to help her

:11:42.:11:47.

existing team. For these people the new job is a

:11:47.:11:52.

big relief. I was worried because I was struggling to find a team

:11:52.:11:56.

leadership role. It was more operators and production workers

:11:56.:12:00.

but with the opportunity to come here, and see the new products they

:12:00.:12:06.

have, it was a massive opportunity for myself.

:12:06.:12:11.

While Amdega might have gone, although they have been Bob's in

:12:12.:12:21.

name, at least these trade skills will move on. -- bought. Still to

:12:23.:12:28.

come, the Antiques Roadshow and antique fish and chips. And the

:12:29.:12:33.

novel way to keep an eye on your sheep.

:12:33.:12:38.

There have been sunglasses on a cross Northumbria today. But soon

:12:38.:12:48.
:12:48.:12:48.

you might need one of these again. I will have the weather forecast.

:12:48.:12:53.

In television terms, it is an antique itself but the BBC's

:12:53.:12:57.

Antiques Road Show draws the crowds wherever it goes. Hundreds of

:12:57.:13:01.

people turned up a Northumberland today to have their heirlooms

:13:01.:13:07.

valued by some of Britain's leading experts and of course to meet the

:13:07.:13:15.

The subtle build up of anticipation. They eager excitement. The chance

:13:15.:13:18.

to find out whether that old painting your Aunt Gertrude left

:13:18.:13:22.

you is actually worth more than your house. It is the bread and

:13:22.:13:26.

butter of the Antiques Roadshow and the ingredients that has made it a

:13:26.:13:35.

TV classic. I have seen quite a few interesting things, but our hearts

:13:35.:13:40.

the most interesting thing is a box of religious relics.

:13:40.:13:43.

Today's show was filmed at Seaton Deleval Hall in Northumberland. It

:13:43.:13:46.

is the fourth series to be fronted by BBC newsreader and presenter

:13:46.:13:56.
:13:56.:13:57.

Fiona Bruce. She has seen some pretty unsual things in that time.

:13:57.:14:00.

Some of the things are a bit gruesome to actually mention on

:14:00.:14:10.
:14:10.:14:15.

television. We actually saw some body parts once. They were used for

:14:15.:14:19.

medical experiments, but some people actually keep them for

:14:19.:14:26.

parlour games. I suspect the have too much time on their hands.

:14:26.:14:29.

But some come out with better news than others and some of those will

:14:29.:14:36.

walk away potentially richer than when they came. There is a

:14:36.:14:41.

photograph of Charles Darwin in here, which by itself is very

:14:41.:14:48.

interesting. I think this one is worth about �500 and this one about

:14:48.:14:52.

�500. This new series will be on air in

:14:52.:15:01.

the autumn. From Easter year, we are coming bang up-to-date.

:15:01.:15:04.

It is a technological advance that could send shivers through

:15:04.:15:06.

sheepdogs. Farmers in the North Pennines are testing a remote

:15:06.:15:09.

controlled drone that can spy on their sheep from the skies. And

:15:09.:15:12.

there are hopes the Flying Shepherd could also help the emergency

:15:12.:15:15.

services. It is wild, beautiful and remote in

:15:15.:15:19.

the Pennines around Alston. The moors stretch for miles. But there

:15:19.:15:28.

can be a savage kick in the winters here for hard-pressed hill farmers.

:15:28.:15:31.

The last couple of years have been extremely bad, because there has

:15:31.:15:39.

been so much snow. It snowed for about two months last year, which

:15:39.:15:43.

made getting around very difficult. It was more difficult to see the

:15:43.:15:50.

animals. When the weather is bad, it does make are always much more

:15:50.:15:53.

difficult. So could futuristic technology in

:15:53.:16:03.
:16:03.:16:05.

the shape of a drone solve an old problem? If farmers to find it that

:16:05.:16:13.

this technology is affordable and works, the Joan will fly for about

:16:13.:16:17.

40 minutes, giving them plenty of time to discover lost animals.

:16:17.:16:21.

And this is how the Flying Shepherd works. Pictures beamed back to a

:16:21.:16:30.

laptop. You still cannot beat the dog and respect for finding lost

:16:30.:16:35.

animals, but for farmers on very big estates, it could be very

:16:35.:16:39.

useful. Cost is a problem, but it is

:16:40.:16:49.
:16:50.:16:53.

believed the emergency services could also use it. What a clever

:16:53.:17:00.

idea. Now, time for sport and football is back!

:17:00.:17:03.

Believe it or not, in only a month's time the new Premier League

:17:03.:17:07.

season will be underway. And last night in the York sunshine, the

:17:07.:17:10.

first visible signs that football, to the delight of some and the

:17:10.:17:15.

horror of others, is just round the corner.

:17:15.:17:18.

They were not exactly feeding the 5,000 at Bootham Crescent last

:17:18.:17:21.

night, but that is how many fans there were for York City's pre-

:17:21.:17:24.

season friendly with Sunderland. A nice little earner for a Conference

:17:24.:17:31.

club desperate for a return to the Football League. A it is the best

:17:31.:17:34.

squad we have since we were relegated to the conference the

:17:34.:17:38.

years ago. We had a decent team last year, but I think we will

:17:38.:17:43.

score more goals this season, which is what we need.

:17:43.:17:45.

Sunderland fans seemed generally pleased with Steve Bruce's nine

:17:45.:17:55.
:17:55.:17:57.

summer signings. There is a lot of experience there. I hope Gaga will

:17:57.:18:01.

chip in with a few midfield goals, which is where are problems where

:18:01.:18:09.

on show last night, although several experienced players

:18:09.:18:11.

returned from long-term injuries. Sunderland went ahead through Phil

:18:11.:18:14.

Bardsley, but it was one of several youngsters given a run out, French

:18:14.:18:17.

striker Oumare Tounkara, who grabbed the second with a cool

:18:17.:18:18.

finish. After being denied a first half

:18:19.:18:21.

penalty, York deservedly got their consolation from the spot after the

:18:21.:18:31.
:18:31.:18:38.

It is not so much about the result tonight, but getting us going where

:18:38.:18:48.
:18:48.:18:50.

we want to be going. Newcastle United seen the cash to buy a top-

:18:50.:18:57.

class striker is still available. The manager is remaining Phyllis

:18:57.:19:02.

was philosophical about the decision by a US authorities to

:19:02.:19:11.

deny a jury Barton a work visa. were weary that he might not get a

:19:11.:19:16.

visa when we were organising the trip. But he knows our game inside

:19:16.:19:26.
:19:26.:19:27.

out, so he will go on the chat with the development squad to Holland.

:19:27.:19:30.

It is not so much of a major disruption.

:19:30.:19:33.

Golf now and one of our region's rising stars Jack Hermeston, from

:19:33.:19:36.

the City of Newcastle club, is bidding for victory at the England

:19:36.:19:39.

Boys' Under-16 Open at South Moor Golf Club in County Durham this

:19:39.:19:41.

afternoon. Coincidentally, Graeme Storm, the

:19:41.:19:44.

only North East player to win the England Boys Under-16 Open, 17

:19:44.:19:52.

years ago, is playing in the Open level par, one ahead of Ashington's

:19:52.:19:55.

Ken Ferrie. Best of all was York's Simon Dyson,

:19:55.:19:57.

here with this birdie, carded an impressive round of 68, putting him

:19:58.:20:07.
:20:08.:20:08.

Ultimate frisbee, free running and street cheer certainly were not

:20:08.:20:11.

part of the sports curriculum when I was a school. But children at a

:20:12.:20:15.

school in North Shields got the chance to try some of them out

:20:15.:20:18.

today. It is all part of a campaign by fashion store Matalan and

:20:18.:20:26.

Britain's greatest Olympian to help our youngsters get more out of PE.

:20:26.:20:30.

Sporty or not, you cannot fail to be impressed by the achievements of

:20:30.:20:35.

Sir Steve Redgrave. The school pupils listened as the five time

:20:35.:20:40.

Olympic champion talk about his life. He wants to help them

:20:40.:20:50.
:20:50.:20:51.

transform their lives as well. is not about Mrs Sally performing

:20:51.:20:57.

at the sort of level I got to, but it is about participating and

:20:57.:21:05.

having fun. Things like this ultimate frisbee look good fun and

:21:05.:21:14.

it may be my comeback Sport! I will certainly give it a goal. It is

:21:14.:21:19.

good that everyone is learning all together and when she get there has

:21:19.:21:27.

not hang of it, you have got it. Paul flea, they will go on to do a

:21:28.:21:36.

range of different sports that they have not tried before. The emphasis

:21:36.:21:42.

in this is also about training their teachers. Primary-school

:21:43.:21:52.
:21:53.:21:53.

teachers only get a few hours of training in this respect. While

:21:53.:21:58.

Steve was not top dog at ultimate frisbee, he is the favourite to

:21:58.:22:03.

light the Olympic torch in London next year. But he is not banking on

:22:03.:22:11.

it. I am not banking on it. It is the great honour to even be thought

:22:11.:22:16.

about to be doing that. It would be lovely if I was chosen.

:22:16.:22:19.

Cricket now and Yorkshire have claimed a key victory in the County

:22:19.:22:21.

Championship, beating fellow strugglers Worcestershire at

:22:21.:22:23.

Scarborough for only their second championship win of the season. Joe

:22:23.:22:27.

Root hit 52 not out to lead Yorkshire to a victory which could

:22:27.:22:29.

be vital in their fight for Division One survival.

:22:29.:22:32.

Meanwhile, Durham must beat Northants tonight in their last T20

:22:32.:22:35.

group match to have any hope of securing the last quarter final

:22:35.:22:45.
:22:45.:22:47.

spot. At the moment, they are 123-6. It looks like one of the oldest

:22:47.:22:51.

fish and chip shops in the world. Where else would you find a coal-

:22:51.:22:54.

fired range, beef dripping and original tiles and fittings, all

:22:54.:22:58.

from the 18th century? Today, Look North was given a tasty preview of

:22:58.:23:01.

Davy's Fried Fish Shop, the new, very old, shop that opens tomorrow

:23:01.:23:11.
:23:11.:23:20.

in the pit village of Durham's The thing about this is it is all

:23:20.:23:28.

about stepping back in time. Today, we are stepping back to 1910, to

:23:28.:23:38.

the opening of a new fish-and-chip shop. There is nothing quite like

:23:38.:23:44.

the taste of food. It is a very good way of transporting you back

:23:44.:23:48.

to the past and we all have memories of the likes of getting

:23:48.:23:55.

fish and chips when we were young. Paul we wanted to do was recreate a

:23:55.:24:01.

1920s fish-and-chip shop, when the business was booming.

:24:01.:24:04.

These two brother bought the coal- fired range, which they remember

:24:04.:24:06.

from their family fish and chip shop which their grandparents set

:24:06.:24:16.

up in Durham over 80 years ago. used to help out in the back,

:24:16.:24:22.

preparing their potatoes. remember when the potato peeler was

:24:22.:24:27.

broken, you had to do them by hand. The fishing industry is a huge part

:24:27.:24:30.

of Northern history. The first written records of fish shops

:24:30.:24:32.

appear in the 1860s and their popularity grew rapidly; The first

:24:33.:24:36.
