Hello and welcome to the programme. Who will note lease Paolo Di Canio?

:00:11.:00:20.

We are alive at the Stadium of light. The driver of this bosses

:00:20.:00:27.

arrested for dangerous driving. And robotic surgery that will mean less

:00:27.:00:30.

pain for people with head and neck cancers. We talk to the Tyneside

:00:31.:00:40.

rock star Staying as he releases his first album in nearly a decade. ——

:00:40.:00:55.

Sting. And find out why this Tyneside are enjoyed his trip home

:00:55.:01:04.

at the weekend. His sacking comes after just six months and 13 games

:01:04.:01:09.

in charge at Sunderland. Paolo di Canio is the first Premier League

:01:09.:01:13.

boss to lose his job this season, just five games into the new

:01:13.:01:16.

campaign. The Black Cats were already bottom of the league before

:01:16.:01:18.

their 3—0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. And it's being

:01:19.:01:22.

reported the players turned on the Italian at training the next day.

:01:22.:01:25.

Former captain Kevin Ball will now take over, while Sunderland look for

:01:25.:01:28.

their sixth permanent manager in five years. Dawn Thewlis is live for

:01:29.:01:32.

us at the Stadium of Light. Dawn, this hasn't come as a huge surprise,

:01:32.:01:41.

has it? No, Jeff. I think from the moment di Canio took over, the

:01:41.:01:44.

consensus was that his tenure would end in tears. It was a controversial

:01:44.:01:49.

appointment from the off with di Canio having to field questions

:01:49.:01:53.

about his political sympathies. Although he did manage to keep

:01:53.:01:56.

Sunderland in the Premier League, just, his aggressive management

:01:56.:01:59.

style was always going to lead to his downfall. As soon as he touched

:01:59.:02:06.

down on Wearside, di Canio had to face the glare of the media

:02:06.:02:09.

spotlight, forced to answer a barrage of questions about his

:02:09.:02:13.

alleged fascist sympathies. Fans were divided but vice Chairman David

:02:13.:02:19.

Miliband stood down in protest. After the turgid and lacklustre

:02:19.:02:22.

final few weeks under Martin O'Neill though, Paolo di Canio's arrival was

:02:22.:02:26.

like a breath of fresh air. His passionate approach paid immediate

:02:27.:02:29.

dividends as he inspired the Black Cats to victory in the Tyne Wear

:02:29.:02:33.

derby at St James' Park — guaranteeing him hero status for

:02:33.:02:37.

many supporters. But discipline was always key to his management style

:02:37.:02:40.

and while some players may have bought into it, more found his

:02:40.:02:43.

aggressive man management unacceptable. It was his way or the

:02:43.:02:47.

highway. Even this weekend he told us he wouldn't change. I will never

:02:47.:02:59.

change. I have not got a change in my idea to be at the top level. If

:02:59.:03:05.

the manager wouldn't change the club felt it had to change the manager.

:03:05.:03:11.

Di Canio set down rules and expected them to be obeyed. He fined players

:03:11.:03:13.

for behaviour that would normally have gone unpunished. And while many

:03:13.:03:15.

fans backed him as he tried to impose discipline on what he saw as

:03:15.:03:19.

pampered Premier League players once the team turned against him he was

:03:19.:03:22.

on a hiding to nothing. Di Canios self belief is unshakeable. At 45 he

:03:22.:03:27.

was the outstanding player in Steve Harper's recent testimonial match.

:03:27.:03:29.

He has no time for those who can't or won't emulate him. He soon

:03:29.:03:32.

resorted to publicly criticising his players when things went wrong.

:03:32.:03:35.

Reaction to his departure's been mixed on the streets of the City. He

:03:35.:03:43.

definitely wasn't right in the head. You can't mess around with

:03:43.:03:46.

professional players like he was trying to do. I quite liked them. I

:03:46.:03:57.

like the wiki came across as a fan. I'm quite gutted he came across as a

:03:57.:04:01.

fan. I'm quite gutted he's gone. What about all the ones that brought

:04:01.:04:10.

the man in? We saw people being bothered by him and he had to be

:04:10.:04:14.

sent off against Arsenal. We knew what kind of character he was. Di

:04:14.:04:20.

canio took it on the chin when fans said, "you'll be sacked in the

:04:20.:04:23.

morning" following the West Brom defeat. But after the players

:04:23.:04:26.

rounded on him at the training ground yesterday, owner Ellis Short

:04:26.:04:30.

decided to bring the Italian's brief but eccentric reign to an end. Di

:04:30.:04:34.

Canio often said he was the best manager in the world but his

:04:34.:04:35.

Sunderland revolution ultimately failed because he couldn't find any

:04:35.:04:45.

followers. I'm joined by a daily Telegraph football writer now, what

:04:45.:04:51.

happened? I think we have to look at what we would all be like in that

:04:51.:04:57.

situation. If you had a boss who was constantly criticising you in

:04:57.:05:00.

slagging you off eventually you would have enough. I think a lot of

:05:00.:05:07.

them dead. The West Raum defeat, when he came back in to the dressing

:05:07.:05:12.

room and attack them again when their morale was very fragile. I

:05:12.:05:17.

think a lot of home truths came out and there was no way back for him.

:05:17.:05:23.

—— West Bromwich Albion. He went to see the direct route to all, the

:05:23.:05:29.

players had gone and relieved the concerns. —— the director of

:05:29.:05:37.

football. The players felt they were not getting the support and

:05:37.:05:40.

encouragement, they were sick of the way he spoke to them and treated

:05:40.:05:47.

them. I think he forgot that they were real people, were not on board

:05:47.:05:57.

and they stopped playing for him. The coach Kevin Ball will take over

:05:57.:06:03.

for now. He will be in charge tomorrow night. So now the guessing

:06:03.:06:09.

game starts, Dawn. Who's in the frame to be the next manager? All

:06:09.:06:21.

the managers that are out of jobs. The names are on the screen now.

:06:21.:06:44.

Steve McClaren is also in the frame. Well let us know what you think

:06:44.:06:48.

about developments here at the Stadium Of Light, by logging onto

:06:48.:06:50.

the Look North Facebook page. The details are on the screen for you

:06:50.:06:52.

now. Whoever comes in has a mammoth task

:06:52.:07:06.

ahead of them. Next up for Sunderland, it's Liverpool and Man

:07:06.:07:09.

Utd at home then in form Swansea away before the derby against

:07:09.:07:10.

Newcastle at the Stadium Of Light. The driver of a bus which was

:07:10.:07:22.

involved in a crash with a lorry in Cumbria this morning, has been

:07:22.:07:25.

arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. It happened on the A685

:07:25.:07:29.

road at Grayrigg. A number of schoolchildren were on board the bus

:07:29.:07:36.

at the time. Alison Freeman reports. The damage to the lorry driver's

:07:36.:07:39.

cab, paints a frightening picture. At about 8:25, the lorry and a bus

:07:39.:07:42.

carrying mainly school children collided. The lorry, heading north

:07:42.:07:47.

along the A685 to Tebay, the bus heading south to Kendal and the

:07:47.:07:51.

Queen Katherine School. Luckily none of the 24 secondary—age pupils on

:07:51.:08:00.

board were seriously hurt. It could have been a whole lot worse. When

:08:00.:08:06.

you have vehicles with multiple passengers there is always a risk of

:08:06.:08:14.

CDs injury and death. —— serious injury. The driver of the Lorry had

:08:14.:08:23.

to be cut free from the wreckage. The 44—year—old, From Kendal was

:08:23.:08:25.

airlifted to the Royal Preston hospital with serious but not

:08:25.:08:28.

life—threatening injuries. Three other adults and six children were

:08:28.:08:30.

taken to hospital with minor injuries. Officers aren't clear

:08:30.:08:33.

exactly what happened here but the two vehicles collided on a very

:08:33.:08:37.

narrow piece of road. Police have however arrested the driver of the

:08:37.:08:40.

bus on suspicion of dangerous driving, but they stress it's still

:08:40.:08:48.

very early in their enquiries. Just because somebody is arrested doesn't

:08:48.:08:53.

mean they have committed any offences. He will be interviewed

:08:53.:08:59.

however. The road, near Greyrigg, stayed closed throughout the day

:08:59.:09:05.

while both the lorry and the bus were moved. Specialist officers have

:09:05.:09:08.

also been examining the scene. The headteacher of Queen Katherine

:09:08.:09:10.

School has praised his pupils for helping one another after the crash.

:09:10.:09:15.

More than 10,000 primary school children in Gateshead will be

:09:15.:09:18.

offered the flu vaccine this winter. It'll be given by means of a nasal

:09:18.:09:22.

spray. Gateshead is one of seven areas across the country taking part

:09:22.:09:26.

in pilot studies, to test different ways of delivering the vaccine. The

:09:26.:09:32.

clean—up of nuclear waste at the Sellafield plant in Cumbria has

:09:32.:09:33.

attracted serious criticism in recent months. And now, the

:09:33.:09:37.

government has a huge multi—billion pound decision to make. Does it

:09:37.:09:40.

allow the current operator to continue with its work or find

:09:41.:09:46.

someone else to do it? Chris Jackson from the Inside Out programme was

:09:46.:09:48.

given permission to take the first British TV crew into the most

:09:48.:09:54.

hazardous part of the site. Sellafield, where 70% of our high

:09:54.:10:00.

level nuclear waste is stored. It is a massive task because the stuff is

:10:00.:10:04.

still active so it needs to be handled with the respect and care it

:10:04.:10:08.

deserves. These manmade ponds are exposed to the elements but store

:10:08.:10:11.

lethal nuclear waste. It's a fraught process as no—one thought about the

:10:11.:10:15.

long term when the reactors were built. Decommissioning was not

:10:15.:10:20.

considered at the time so that's given us a massive challenge on how

:10:20.:10:24.

to do it safely and in the environment, and we've got it in an

:10:24.:10:28.

aging facility. Some of the waste is so sensitive it can only be handled

:10:28.:10:31.

by robots. It will take over 100 years to decommission the whole

:10:31.:10:35.

site. But it's what is happening now that will determine whether the

:10:35.:10:37.

current consortium will continue the work. An influential group of MPs

:10:37.:10:45.

blamed poor management for totally unacceptable delays, cost increases,

:10:45.:10:47.

and described the performance as dire. So, should the consortium

:10:47.:11:04.

continue? We're on track to meet the minimum performance standards, we're

:11:04.:11:07.

on track to deliver around £1 billion of savings. We've achieved

:11:07.:11:10.

the best safety record Sellafield as records have started it is my belief

:11:10.:11:14.

we are on track, and we've earned the right for next five years. The

:11:14.:11:20.

consortium wasn't helped by a recent scandal when execs claimed thousands

:11:20.:11:23.

of pounds in expenses on golf trips, expensive meals and taxi for an

:11:23.:11:27.

unnamed manager and their cat. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

:11:27.:11:29.

which will make the final decision has also come under fire, for not

:11:29.:11:33.

keeping a close enough eye on the work at Sellafield. I would not

:11:33.:11:36.

suggest we've been perfect but I think we have been doing all we can

:11:36.:11:40.

to make sure we can have the right level of oversight, but where we've

:11:40.:11:44.

identified issues that have been unsatisfactory we've taken very

:11:44.:11:46.

strong and firm appropriate action, and we stand ready to do that as we

:11:46.:11:50.

go forward. An announcement on Sellafield's clean up contract is

:11:50.:11:54.

expected in the next month. And as well as that exclusive tour inside

:11:54.:11:57.

Sellafield, you can also find out what happened to a group of Tyneside

:11:57.:12:00.

gang members from the 1970's, when Inside Out catches up with them

:12:00.:12:05.

tonight. Still to come on Monday's Look North: Inspired by the

:12:05.:12:20.

shipyards, Sting's new album is released today. We've a special

:12:20.:12:25.

report. I'll have your September weather pictures and youthful

:12:26.:12:32.

regional forecast. —— you're fool regional forecast. More than 500

:12:32.:12:38.

people are diagnosed with throat cancers every year, here in the

:12:38.:12:41.

North. But now there are new, robotic surgical treatments which

:12:41.:12:44.

can make treatment for the disease much simpler and less painful.

:12:44.:12:47.

Adrian Pitches went to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, as a

:12:47.:12:49.

Europe—wide campaign to raise awareness of head and neck cancer

:12:49.:12:53.

got underway. There can be no better way of raising awareness of head and

:12:53.:12:57.

neck cancer than by pulling on a bright yellow t—shirt and a top hat

:12:57.:13:01.

before walking over the roof of the Sage concert hall. This is what a

:13:01.:13:04.

group of people did at the weekend in memory of their friend Paul. John

:13:04.:13:08.

had throat cancer too and has just undergone surgery by robot. I have

:13:08.:13:20.

today the operation because of cancer which is not a nice thing.

:13:20.:13:24.

The pain afterwards is terrible, twice, I've had two operations. It

:13:24.:13:35.

is worse on the inside. This form of cancer is on the increase with

:13:35.:13:38.

smoking, heavy drinking and HPV infection all to blame. It has three

:13:39.:13:47.

arms, on the central arm is the end of school which gives a good view of

:13:47.:13:57.

the tumour and what remained to do. —— what we are meant to do. This is

:13:57.:14:05.

literally cutting edge technology. A robotic surgeon operated remotely by

:14:05.:14:08.

a real surgeon to remove throat tumours. It has changed a lot of

:14:08.:14:19.

what I do. I can remove a tong tumour which would have taken three

:14:19.:14:24.

hours in just one hour. I can control bleeding quite nicely and I

:14:24.:14:27.

have the assistance of a couple of colleagues. Essentially, I have

:14:27.:14:33.

forearms and side a patient's throat when before I had one single arm, a

:14:33.:14:41.

laser. And better treatment means a better outcome for the patient.

:14:41.:14:45.

Tyneside rock star Sting released his first album in nearly a decade

:14:45.:14:56.

today. Called The Last Ship, it features songs from his musical of

:14:56.:15:03.

the same name. It's inspired by the Swan Hunter shipyard in Wallsend.

:15:03.:15:12.

Sting has enlisted a host of North East musicians to feature on the

:15:12.:15:15.

album, including his old pal, Jimmy Nail. Sting and Jimmy spoke

:15:15.:15:18.

exclusively to our arts reporter Sharuna Sagar about the songs, the

:15:18.:15:21.

memories and their special relationship for tonight's Look

:15:21.:15:27.

North report. Nice to meet you. Good morning. When you think all the

:15:27.:15:31.

shipyard what memories does conjure up? The end of my street was a

:15:31.:15:40.

shipyard. My earliest memories are of watching ships being launched.

:15:40.:15:44.

Watching all the main home to work in the morning, thousands of men. At

:15:44.:15:53.

the bottom of his street this ships used to go until they blotted out

:15:53.:16:00.

the sun. Weird I come from is still very important to me. —— weird icon

:16:00.:16:05.

from. It is the landscape that inspired me. —— were I come from. It

:16:05.:16:17.

is the idea of writing music about the shipyard. I started to write

:16:17.:16:24.

songs about some carried as I knew, some characters I meet up and some

:16:24.:16:28.

that were compositions of both. I find that there was a lot seen my

:16:28.:16:35.

memories. Then I am listed my good friend year. —— enlisted. —— here.

:16:35.:16:53.

Here's my inspiration. Of all the things I've been called, that has

:16:53.:17:03.

upset me the most! I felt it was very important, someone told me I

:17:03.:17:09.

had to finish this because it was a story that had to be told. You're

:17:09.:17:17.

really funny, I didn't know you were funny. That's a precious site to

:17:17.:17:25.

this project. Not only will you hear Gordon singing in his own dialect at

:17:25.:17:30.

times but there's a lot of humour in it. My dialect only comes back and

:17:30.:17:38.

I'm angry. When I'm drunk and I threaten you! My kids would always

:17:38.:17:44.

like this tedious when the Geordie can might! —— came out. Keep your

:17:44.:17:58.

eyes on the reversal! Argue more nostalgic these days? I'm not sure

:17:58.:18:04.

whether the style jet isn't good thing these days. —— are you? ——

:18:04.:18:15.

nostalgia. Certainly leaving the time never to return, that was very

:18:15.:18:31.

much a symbol of my life. —— Tyne. At some point you have to go back to

:18:31.:18:37.

your roots. I have read my life outside but I'm very proud of

:18:37.:18:42.

without come from. —— I have made my life outside. —— I'm very proud of

:18:42.:18:59.

where I come from. Well, there's been a bit of football chat already

:18:59.:19:06.

in tonight's programme. Time to wrap up the rest of the action now, in

:19:06.:19:10.

Team Talk. Flying solo tonight, with Dawn at the Stadium of Light where —

:19:10.:19:15.

if you somehow managed to miss the big news — Sunderland are looking

:19:15.:19:19.

for a new manager. Paolo di Canio was sacked last night. And his last

:19:19.:19:33.

stand was at the Hawthorns — where almost his final act as the club's

:19:33.:19:37.

Head Coach was to face angry fans, after the Black Cats — bottom of the

:19:37.:19:41.

table, remember — had been beaten 3—0 by second—bottom West Brom. He

:19:41.:19:47.

wasn't quite sacked in the morning, as some fans were suggesting there,

:19:47.:19:51.

but it was only a few hours later. Of course, the player he recently

:19:51.:19:55.

sold to Albion just HAD to score on his debut — Stephane Sessegnon

:19:55.:19:58.

keeping the celebrations low key. Remember he scored against Newcastle

:19:58.:20:01.

and Everton — the only two League games Di Canio won. Things may have

:20:01.:20:05.

been different had Stephen Fletcher put this chance away — instead he

:20:05.:20:07.

fell heavily and hurt his shoulder which means whoever comes in, he'll

:20:08.:20:11.

be missing the club's top scorer for quite some time. And with Di Canio

:20:11.:20:14.

having used all his substitutes, they played the last 20 minutes with

:20:14.:20:18.

just ten men — and Albion picked them off with another couple of

:20:18.:20:22.

goals towards the end, to leave them with just one point from five games

:20:22.:20:25.

— and a goal difference which already stands at minus EIGHT. You

:20:25.:20:29.

know what? They all said it would end in tears! It did! Well the man

:20:29.:20:33.

who was the FIRST manager to be sacked by Sunderland owner Ellis

:20:33.:20:36.

Short was Steve Bruce. The last time he took the lack Cats to St James's

:20:36.:20:40.

Park,they were hammered 5—1. So when he went back with Hull city on

:20:40.:20:44.

Saturday, you could forgive him for the sort of dance you do at your

:20:44.:20:47.

daughter's 18th birthday party. That was after Hull scored their winner.

:20:47.:20:51.

You wouldn't have put money on them, when Loic Remy scored his first

:20:51.:20:54.

Newcastle goal. The only person the Magpies brought in, during the

:20:54.:20:58.

transfer window — told you I was right — Joe Kinnear is PROBABLY

:20:58.:21:00.

sayng to owner Mike Ashley. But the Magpies — who've kept three clean

:21:00.:21:04.

sheets this season — were a bit of a mess at the back — Robbie Brady with

:21:05.:21:08.

Hull's equaliser. They were back in front before the break, no goal in

:21:08.:21:13.

11 games for Papiss Cisse now, but a second of the match for Remy made it

:21:13.:21:16.

2—1. Now Ahmed Elmohammady scored just once in his Sunderland career

:21:16.:21:19.

but that's no reason to leave him completely free at this free—kick.

:21:19.:21:35.

Tim Krul quite rightly asking, "Who was marking him?" And there wasn't

:21:35.:21:43.

much Krul could do about the winner — a lovely strike from Sone Aluko —

:21:43.:21:47.

which had Steve Bruce doing his little dance — and left Alan Pardew,

:21:47.:21:55.

naturally, disappointed. We could have done better today. So, no

:21:55.:22:04.

points in the Premier League but it was slightly better news for our

:22:04.:22:06.

Football League clubs. They all picked up something. But, as Stuart

:22:06.:22:10.

Whincup reports, Middlesbrough are making a habit of throwing points

:22:10.:22:14.

away. In a game they were expected to win, Middlesbrough couldn't have

:22:14.:22:22.

made a worse start. 2—0 down inside of the first twelve minutes at the

:22:22.:22:25.

Riverside. Boro fought back with Kei Kamara scoring his second goal in a

:22:25.:22:28.

week. And then Mustapha Carayol levelled things up. It looked like

:22:28.:22:36.

the comeback was complete, when Grant Leadbitter scored the third.

:22:36.:22:46.

But an inability to kill off games has been a big problem and a

:22:46.:22:55.

Jonathan Woodgate own goal. Meant his side had to settle for a draw.

:22:55.:23:03.

In League One, Graham Kavanagh's hopes of landing the managers job at
