Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. In the headlines. Charity | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
begins at home. The Filipino community here in the | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
North rallies round to send aid to the typhoon disaster zone. | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Ten days on, police renew their appeal to find the driver who | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
knocked down and killed Danny Wake. Cleared for take`off. House`building | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
plans at Durham Tees Valley to secure the airport's future. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
We are Little Mix in Newcastle, catch us later. | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
We are in Durham for the Lumiere Festival In sport, the most | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
successful club in the history of the Football League Trophy bows out | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
of this year's competition. And how the American connection | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
could help Boro's new Spanish boss lead a Teesside revival. | :00:54. | :01:06. | |
Imagine being halfway around the world and hearing that a natural | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
disaster had hit the UK, perhaps your community, your friends, your | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
family. Five days after Typhoon Haiyan brought devastation to the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Philippines, many Filipinos in our region are still awaiting news of | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
loved ones in the worst hit areas. But rather than simply sit and watch | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
the awful news pictures, many have thrown themselves into the aid | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
effort. Gerry Jackson reports. A long way from home, but for these | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
people doing nothing is not an option. In Newcastle, the Filipinio | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
community of Tyneside have been rallying round to support those in | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
disaster stricken islands. Their donations are being taken to London. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
And then on with the rest. This is the only thing that we can do. We | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
cannot help physically, B can do here is do our best. For some, this | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
activity is a welcome distraction as they wait for it news on people they | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
know. It is too grievous. Really, I am sorry. The Filipino community of | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Newcastle is really helping out. That is the only way we can reach | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
out. In Whitehaven too, the distress is obvious and the pictures bring | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
back painful memories. Every time there is a typhoon, we | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
run. But this is the worst. I received a message from home telling | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
the that one of our friends was still missing. I am hoping they can | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
locate them. In Newcastle, staff at the infirmary have organised their | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
own collection. It is important because I have experienced times | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
that best `` times like this when I was younger. The contributions | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
cannot get there quickly enough. An inquest into the death of a | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
three`year`old boy knocked over in a hit and run in Darlington has been | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
opened and adjourned. Danny Wake was killed while walking with his mother | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
in the Neasham Road area last Monday. The driver has still not | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
been traced. His family has announced his funeral will take | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
place next Tuesday. Alison Freeman reports. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
The sky was lit up last night to remember Danny Wake. Well`wishers | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
released lanterns in Lascelles Park. The three`year`old and his mum had | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
been on their way home to choose his Christmas presents from a catalogue. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
But Danny never made it. He was hit by a car as he turned off Neasham | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
road onto Falmer Road on Monday of last week. The driver failed to | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
stop. And police haven't traced them yet. We have some pieces of the | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
jigsaw as what happened. But we still need further information from | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
people, particularly who was driving the vehicle at the time. We would | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
appeal to anybody who might know who the driver is, please contact us, | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
come forward and tell us. If you are the driver, come forward and tell us | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
and put your side of the story. Police say they have a hundred new | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
lines of enquiry to follow up after last Friday's appeal by Danny's | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
family. They particularly want to trace a white Mercedes van seen in | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
the area at the time. Today, the inquest into Danny's death was | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
opened and adjourned by the County Durham and Darlington Coroner. With | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
many details still unclear, no date has been set for the full inquiry. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
The sheer volume of flowers and toys left for Danny is overwhelming. The | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
family has announced his funeral will take place on Tuesday next | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
week. They say all are welcome at what they are calling a thanksgiving | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
service for Danny's life. Durham Tees Valley Airport has | :05:13. | :05:26. | |
unveiled the master plan that it says will secure its future and | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
claims could create around 4,000 jobs. The airport, currently losing | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
?10,000 a day, says it wants to develop business parks on its vast | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
land`holdings. It's also looking to sell building land for up to 400 | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
homes. Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve has tonight's Look North | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
report. The popular perception of Durham | :05:43. | :06:00. | |
Tees Valley Airport. No flights. No passengers. No future. But there is | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
a plan here. A plan to banish the easily imagined tumbleweed. A | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
masterplan no less. This site is intended for office development, | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
complementing and number of existing businesses around the site. We think | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
there is potential for other development here. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Durham Tees Valley's owner, part of the giant Peel Property group, says | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
big business parks and building on its vast acreage is the way to save | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
the airport. Many airports are looking at widening the base of | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
their activity. Very few are surviving on aviation alone. They | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
are all looking at the potential within their estates. It brings | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
value to the airport. These are the sort of | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
aviation`related businesses that the airport's owner would like to bring | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
here. This is the fire training school, selling its services around | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
the world. And this company recycles aircraft. A booming sector. 400 | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
aircraft are scrapped every year in Europe alone. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
The hope is that these types of business can compensate for | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
dwindling passenger numbers. In 2006, the airport saw short of a | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
million passengers. But the tally has been falling steadily since. So, | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
by last year, just over 160,000 people used Durham Tees Valley. The | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
reason for the fall is because airlines have pulled out of here. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Flights to London were lost because the Heathrow landing slots be too | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
valuable to be used on a regional link. . The airport had a row over | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
landing fees with one operator, and another cheap fares airline went | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
bust. Summer flights to Jersey and daily ones to Amsterdam and Aberdeen | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
are all that remain. It's a long way from the vision the six councils had | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
in 2003 when they voted to sell the airport to its current owner. They | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
have made some internal improvements, but it is pretty small | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
beer. We have only seen some small firms who are airline related moving | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
in. The other things that have happened have been horrendous. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Certainly, this was never envisaged. Job losses. And a last party for | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
duty free shop staff made redundant, they say, because of the airport's | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
failings. It is just sad that they do not have that vision, they do not | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
see what I see, what passengers see. They want to focus on the plans they | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
have, they can do that, but they also have to focus on passengers and | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
getting flights in. Maybe the airport has exhibited some vision | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
today, however. It has recognised that this is the past. And it won't | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
be coming back. Its future possibly driven by up to 400 houses and | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
offices. And if it works nearly 4,000 jobs could be created between | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
now and 2020. An outcome worthy of the title of masterplan. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
It's an area with some of the highest unemployment figures in the | :09:30. | :09:30. | |
region. But today 1,000 jobs were up for | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
grabs in South Shields. A jobs fair in the town attracted hundreds of | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
people looking for work as our Political Correspondent Mark Denten | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
reports. South Tyneside College, employers | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
with jobs face to face with people that want them. To be honest, it is | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
no surprise that it is busy here today. Although there are over 1000 | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
jobs on offer here, there are over three times as many people out of | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
work in South Shields. People like this man, 58 and looking for factory | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
work. It gets you down. To see everybody going to job centres and | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
not getting jobs. This week, the North East's unemployment figures | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
fell by 7000. But for people like this young man, it is little | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
consolation. It is very difficult to get a job around here. The message | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
you today `` the message here today is employers want staff. We have to | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
bridge the gap between getting a job and getting the experience. They | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
have to be enthusiastic, willing to learn and be able to turn up on | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
time. There were queues out of the door this morning for this job is | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
fair. `` jobs fair. Unemployment is falling, but it is still higher in | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
this area than in the rest of Britain. | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
12 months on from their election, and a BBC survey suggests Police and | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Crime Commissioners are still struggling to win people over. Only | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
around 15 per cent of voters turned out last November and, a year on, | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
only five per cent can even name their PCC. Our Political Editor, | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
Richard Moss, reports. Starting with a whimper rather than | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
a bang. A poor election turnout, a confused and disinterested public. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
But one year on, have people in Durham become more engaged? This is | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Ron Hogg. How many people here know who he is? Is he knew at the | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
Cathedral? Do you know who it might be? No. Somebody in government? He | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
looks like your dad. He is the police commissioner. What is his | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
name? Good question. No wonder Ron Hogg is keen to get out on the | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
street then. In this case, Chester`le`Street. Part of a regular | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
series of walkabouts to meet the public. But research by the BBC | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
suggests that although two thirds of people across the north know they | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
have a police commissioner, only 5% can name them. It does worry me a | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
little bit. If I am to do the job I want to do, the more people who know | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
how to get in contact with me, the better. That is why if events like | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
this are imported. In my policing plan I have community engagement is | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
a key `` as a key aim. But sometimes you can get the wrong | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
kind of publicity. Cumbria's police Commissioner will give a news | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
conference soon... Cumbria's commissioner Richard Rhodes was | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
caught in controversy over his expenses, and the arrests of those | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
who leaked the details. But he doesn't believe his first year has | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
left him and the job tarnished. When I talk to people face to face, they | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
are interested in by our eggs being thrown at my front door, why are | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
people drunk in the streets? They are more interested in that than | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
something which happened ten months ago. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
But opinion on the effectiveness of commissioners is mixed. While 42% of | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
people surveyed in the north thought they had had a positive impact on | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
policing, 42% thought the impact was nonexistent or negative. This is | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
completely new, so they have to learn on their feet. We have seen | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
some good examples where they have engaged the public and tried to seek | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
the views of victims and tried to make the police more accountable. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
The jury is still out. But some critics feel they've | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
already seen enough. I am afraid my fears are being confirmed. Far too | :14:22. | :14:33. | |
much power concentrated in one pair of hands. Nominal responsibility for | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
a huge area. It is ridiculous. It is still early days though for | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
our first wave of police commissioners. They have until their | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
re`election in spring 2016 to make an impact and silence the doubters. | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
And Northumbria's Police and Crime Commissioner, Vera Baird, will be | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
quizzed about her first 12 months in office, on Sunday Politics on BBC | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
One at 11am. And Cumbria's PCC Richard Rhodes will be in the hot | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
seat with Mike Zeller on BBC Radio Cumbria tomorrow at 1130. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
You're watching Look North. Still to come, Mark has the sport | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
and we're live in Durham for the opening night of the Lumiere light | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
festival. Plus X Factor winners Little Mix | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
were back on Tyneside this evening to meet their adoring fans. | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
I hope they are well laptop because with clear spells, we could be in | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
for a touch of frost. `` wrapped up. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
More than 150,000 people are expected to descend on Durham City | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
over the next four nights for its spectacular Lumiere festival. It's | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
claimed that the show, which is staged every two years, has brought | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
around ?6 million into the local economy since the first Lumiere in | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
2009. But its popularity has led to problems with congestion and this | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
year, for the first time, tickets are needed to access to the city | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
centre. Stuart Whincup is there now. Good evening. I have already made a | :16:06. | :16:27. | |
friend. Let me introduce you. This is Elephantastic. People out and | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
about with cameras. This is a third time the festival has been here, | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
what is so special this time? It is a privilege for us to be back here. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
The crowds are friendly and welcoming. We try as hard as we can | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
to play with their town. We find every nook and cranny we can and | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
then it with the imagination of artists. Who would've thought anyone | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
would put an elephant in the middle of the gateway to the city? Everyone | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
is going through hard times at the moment, but we know there is a huge | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
benefit in terms of employment and money spent by people coming in | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
here. It all contributes to the local economy. You have had problems | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
in recent times with congestion, too many people coming in. How other | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
ticketing `` how is ticketing working? We have introduced a free | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
ticket system. For the first three hours up until 7:30pm, you need a | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
ticket to get into the old part of the city. But there are 17 | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
installations not in the old part of the city. It was a way of getting | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
families and young children through. Perhaps people with mobility | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
issues. It seems to be working really well. What are people been | :18:08. | :18:19. | |
saying? Fantastic. Elephantastic Is what they are saying. Reaction from | :18:20. | :18:34. | |
the opening night tomorrow. And if you listen to BBC Newcastle's | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Breakfast show tomorrow morning, you can find out what visitors thought | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
of Lumiere. That's with Alfie and Charlie from 6.30. | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
I think the tickets are good idea. It was a victim of its own success | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
in previous years. Aitor Karanka was meeting his | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
Middlesbrough players for the first time today as he sets out to turn | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Boro into genuine promotion contenders. The international break | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
means there's some breathing space for the new manager. One of his star | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
names, meanwhile, has been speaking about his hopes for a brighter | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
future at the Riverside under the Spaniard. Peter Harris reports. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Poor Kei Kamara, and you live in England, but after just ten weeks in | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
Middlesbrough, he is already on to his third boss. But he does have one | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
thing in common with his new coach, both have been stars of the American | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
league. He used to play in America. That is a good history for both of | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
us. He has got a good history, a good background in football. He will | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
be on the same page as all the players. Finally be settling into | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
his new job, his new striker was helping a charity working with | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
unemployed young people. Alongside players from Hartlepool United. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Street league builds confidence and skills through sport. It gives me | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
motivation. We do sport session, classroom work, interview | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
techniques. The support of local professionals is imported. It is | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
brilliant, ringing everybody together `` bringing. It is a | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
brilliant setup and under brilliant charity to be involved in. | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
Another assistant boss who recently made the step up to the top job is | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
Graeme Kavanagh. He watched his League One Carlisle United side get | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
dumped out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy by the League Two leaders | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
Fleetwood. The live television summariser was | :20:48. | :20:59. | |
Greg Abbott who has got a new job. Carlisle fell behind to an early | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
goal. Perhaps things might have been different if this effort had not hit | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
the post shortly afterwards. But just when the Cumbrians were getting | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
back into the game, Fleetwood sealed their victory. Graeme Kavanagh is | :21:15. | :21:25. | |
predicting a relegation scrap if his players do not improve soon. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Now, they continued a fine North East tradition of X Factor winners. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
Little Mix, featuring South Shields girls Perrie Edwards and Jade | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Thirlwall, were the first group to win the TV talent contest when they | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
triumphed in 2011. Their debut album charted at number | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
four in the United States, smashing a girl band record set by the Spice | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
Girls, and this week they released their second album, Salute. This | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
