Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: At risk of | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
collapse. Homes are evacuated after a sinkhole opens up on a housing | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
estate. I moved in a week ago. It is quite a shock. Suspensions and a | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
police inquiry after accusations of financial irregularities at a County | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Durham special school. And a Valentine's scam ` the couple conned | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
out of money for a luxury lodge that didn't exist. In sport: A Wembley | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
the union and plans to end the exile for one of our league clubs. Also | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
the winter is over but we are does the likes of Amanda go from here? | :01:00. | :01:09. | |
Part will be North Yorkshire town remains cordoned off tonight after a | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
large sinkhole appeared next to houses. It is viewed one particular | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
house could be swallowed up. Able living nearby are worried their | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
homes could be next. Sinkholes are common in this area we are the | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
houses are built on gypsum rock. Imagine if this was your home. This | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
house has stood in Britain for 100 years. Tonight, structural engineers | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
were assessing whether it should be pulled down. A massive sinkhole | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
underneath it is causing one aimed to slip away. The next door | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
neighbour waited to hear what was happening. The wanted me to stay out | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
until they assess what is happening to the land and surrounding | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
properties. I only moved in a week last Saturday so it is quite a | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
shock. Other youngsters could see the drama unfolding from their | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
driveway. I feel sorry for them because it must be off to have half | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
of your house disappearing, it is so close to where we live. It could so | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
easily be one of our houses. I'd macro rep and is no stranger to | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
sinkhole problems. This was the spectacular scene back in 1997 when | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
part of the garden was swallowed up while children played nearby. Gipson | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
dissolves very quickly, a block of around the size of the van dropped | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
in need of will dissolve within 18 months. We lifted the good heavy | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
solid rock it will dissolve and the amount of ground water coming | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
through and coming up as springs in the river will dissolve it causing | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
the wall to get bigger and the singles will develop. 75 new homes | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
plans new the property were thrown out by councillors. Structural | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
engineers have spent the day assessing the damage to the | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
property. While we have been standing here the gap and the track | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
has been getting bigger as the day has gone on. It is possible recall | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
building may have to be demolished. `` the whole building. Police and | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
education officials are investigating serious financial | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
irregularities at a County Durham special school. Inspectors believe | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
more than ?160,000 that should have been spent on children with special | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
needs at Glendene Arts Academy was misappropriated. Instead, the money | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
seems to have funded a private company. Our Political Editor | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Richard Moss reports. There were celebrations in April 2013, when the | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Duke of Edinburgh officially opened Glendene Arts Academy in Easington | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Colliery. But today the school is at the centre of serious allegations. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Auditors were called in after whistle`blowers raised concerns | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
about financial irregularities. Their allegations centre on a | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
company that was set up by the chair of governors and Principal. The firm | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
was supposed to generate income for the academy. But instead, ?154,000 | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
of school money was used to pay four of its staff. Another ?8,000 of | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
academy money helped fund its running costs. The company even used | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
the school's mini buses, forcing the academy to hire some in for its | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
students. Yet inspectors found no evidence the firm had produced any | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
financial benefit for the school. Instead ?162,000 that should have | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
been spent on pupils subsidised the firm. When these allegations first | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
emerged last July, the chair of governors resigned and the principle | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
of the Academy took sick leave. Since then, some of the staff who | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
worked for the company have since been suspended. The Department for | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
Education plans to recover the money by April. But Durham Police's | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
serious crime unit is still investigating the possible illegal | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
use of school funds. And teaching unions say they're concerned that | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
financial problems can happen too easily in academies like Glendene, | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
which are free of council control. Jill macro in the last few weeks | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
there have been a number of stories like this coming to the fore. It is | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
interesting they have only come to the fore because whistle`blowers | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
have made it known to people. If it were a local authority school they | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
would be subject to close scrutiny and oversight from the local | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
authority would be looking in detail at their budgets and expenditure. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
The Department for Education insists the finances of academies are | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
rigorously policed. But it does appear pupils at Glendene missed out | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
on money that should have been spent on them. And Richard is with me now. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
What happens next with this investigation? There have been no | :06:05. | :06:19. | |
arrests as yet. I cannot tell you what the firm is called because | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
there are rules against that. There have been new appointments to the | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
staff to run the school in the absence of the principal at the | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
moment. They want to reassure people that nations made to the school | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
during that time have gone to the school and have been spent on | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
pupils. The auditors are concerned that some donations previously we | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
have gone into this private company but the investigation continues as | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
does the recovery of the money. Three men arrested in Darlington in | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
an operation involved armed police officers have been released on bail. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
The three, aged 30, 22 and 19 were arrested after officers shot out the | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
tyres of the van in which they were travelling on Yarm Road in the town. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
No`one was injured. A flight from Amsterdam to Newcastle Airport was | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
grounded on the runway for more than two hours last night, after a group | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
of school children on board decided they didn't want to take off. The | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
Easyjet plane finally landed at Newcastle Airport after 16 of the | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
group, and their luggage, were taken off and returned to the airport. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Easyjet says it was due to a nervous young passenger in the group who | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
raised a security issue prior to take off. Journalists on the The | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Northern Echo and its sister titles were on strike today. The 24`hour | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
long action was in response to eleven staff on the papers being | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
given the choice of moving 270 miles away to Wales, or losing their jobs. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports. Making the news rather than | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
writing it. Northern Echo journalists are on strike over | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
potential job losses. The paper's owner, Newsquest, wants sub editing, | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
that's writing headlines and captions, and laying out stories, to | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
be done at a central hub in Wales. 270 miles from Darlington. If that | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
newspaper is done in another country, forget Wales, it may as | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
well be India or any other country, it takes away the link that the | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
local community and the journalists have. 11 jobs are at risk at the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Echo and sister papers. Five more at the York Press. But the papers' | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
owner says affected staff can transfer to Wales. News Qwest also | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
says the papers will be on sale as normal tomorrow. It also promises | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
that all key educational judgements and decisions will continue to be | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
made in the region. But is it important that local papers are | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
produced in their area. Teesside's Evening Gazette is printed in | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Sheffield, the Echo itself is printed in Middlesbrough. But the | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
academic view is that it does matter. If you remove the artistic | :08:42. | :08:51. | |
flare of making newspapers look good, really just throwing stock | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
pages onto a templated why would people want to buy something like | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
this? The Northern Echo's editor appears on BBC Tees every day. He | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
challenges listeners to write better headlines than ones printed in the | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
paper. Headlines that could soon have more than a hint of Welsh about | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
them. Half a million patients are set to have their emergency care | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
moved to a new hospital in Northumberland. And today, the | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
country's top doctor came to see it for himself. Sir Bruce Keogh, the | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
NHS's Medical Director, is leading the change in how patients receive | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
emergency medical care in England. But what does this new super | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
hospital in Cramlington mean for patients here? Here's our health | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
reporter, Sharon Barbour. If you live in Northumberland or North | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Tynside and have a medical emergency, in future you'll be | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
brought here to the new Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Today, England's top doctor, the NHS's Medical Director Sir Bruce | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
Keogh, gave the plan the thumbs up as he arrived for a topping out | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
ceremony. What you see behind me is a major improvement in the | :10:07. | :10:23. | |
facilities we offer. When the patients come in they may come down | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
along this corridor here for resuscitation or along this one | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
here, the front of which will be for emergency paediatric gear. Five | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
years ago we made the judgement that this was the right thing to do. We | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
had to have a cute things all centralised in one area. But what | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
does the hospital mean for patients at their own hospitals such as in | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
Wansbeck, North Tyneside and Hexham. There will still be some local | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
argent key services for things which aren't particularly dangerous or | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
life`threatening. `` urgent. The travelling time is far outweighed by | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
the benefit of getting you to the right place where you can get the | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
right treatment from the right people. There are concerns about the | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
pressures the hospital will put on the Ambulance Service, it could mean | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
an extra 2000 extra hours per week for staff. The North East Ambulance | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
Service said they were in constant talks with the hospital trust. There | :11:36. | :11:52. | |
have also been concerns raised by medical staff at Newcastle hospitals | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
who already have been major trauma centre at the Royal Victoria | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
infirmary, less than ten miles away. We already have a good trauma | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
service but that does not equal with additional emergency keyer services | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
to a high quality elsewhere in the region. As work continues on the | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
site, work must also be under way to convince the north`east what the | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
staff year and the chief doctor believed, that a new hospital will | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
improve the outcome for patients needing emergency keyer. Plenty more | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
to come: The Darlington campaign to bring the cup home gathers place and | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
entertaining the young and the young at heart in Carlisle. Also what does | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
the weather have in store? A young couple from North Yorkshire | :12:49. | :13:04. | |
have lost hundreds of pounds after becoming victims of the fraud | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
involving a fictitious holiday home in the Highlands. Laura booked a | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Valentine home through Facebook but when she went to the location at | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
Loch Ness it did not exist. Luxury lodges on the banks of Loch Ness. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
The website promises romantic getaways in the Highlands. For this | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
young couple who are often apart due to his Army career it seemed like | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
the perfect way to spend their first Valentine's Day together, that | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
they'd is just one problem, it does not exist. Dell macro the direction | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
is said to follow the road left and it just turned into a dark track and | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
someone's house which it was not. We went to a local hotel to ask if they | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
had heard of it because it was supposed to be there since 2011. | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
They had never heard of it so it was not looking great. The website was | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
bogus, the pictures were of another hotel. They had spent hundreds of | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
pounds by direct cash transfer which means it is unlikely they will get | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
the cash back. We always recommend using a credit card because it will | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
give you additional protection. We you can protect yourself from these | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
fraudsters also look at Google, Google maps and that kind of stuff. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Also look online for any history before you book. Unfortunately this | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
case is not unique. Please Scotland say they have had other complaints | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
about this specific website. Laura boot through the man called Kevin | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Beaumont, I am going to see what he has got to say about this. It has | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
gone straight to answer phone. Hello, I am calling from the BBC, | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
please give me a call back as I am looking at the website you have | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
about holiday lodges on Loch Ness which do not exist. Let's see what | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
happens. I did not hear back from him and he is not returning any | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
calls from Laura either. There are some lodges there and they are | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
beautiful but just be careful who you are booking with. For this | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
couple it should have been a doorman Tick Highland Fling, instead their | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Valentine 's weekend will be remembered for all the wrong | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
reasons. `` the romantic Highland Fling. The BBC are examining how the | :16:02. | :16:11. | |
World War I affected life on the home front. The programme launches | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
next Monday, K the taster of what we have in store. `` here is a taster. | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
This was the response in Newcastle city centre, seated like thousands | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
of other memorials will stop the War has such a hold on our imagination | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
that we have an increasing need to talk about it and not just because | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
this is 2014. When you look at what is depicted here, the patriotism, | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the optimism, the clear sense of the just cause. It seems to describe a | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
very different world, albeit in living memory. For Britain it was | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
the first total war, practically everyone was affected in some way | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
and the scale of loss and suffering was unlike anything we had known. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Many of the stories from those days have been lost down the decades. | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Some of them we are hoping to the Discover. We are concentrating on | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
stories from the home front. Deals of how our region was crucial to | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
arming the vast war effort. Tales of the unprecedented sacrifices. He | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
did, he was the last one, they brought him warm because he was the | :17:43. | :17:53. | |
only one living. Our first series of reports begins next week. Every | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
family has a story about the great War. We want to bring you some that | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
we all share. That series starts next Monday year or look north and | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
on your ABC local radio station. Tories using technology from the | :18:10. | :18:29. | |
past have been used to entertain children at a new exhibition in | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
Carlisle. It is a display that features moving sculptures old and | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
new and is keeping the half term crowds amused. Our reporter went to | :18:40. | :18:56. | |
join them. They may not be high`tech by today's standards but these | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
wooden toys have still been mesmerising visitors here. The | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
mechanical searches `` mechanical circus exhibition shows toys made | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
from cogs and wheels. Simple but effective. My favourite was called | :19:15. | :19:21. | |

while you hold the button. I like this because I do the lot of | :19:29. | :19:32. | |

like the way he is talking. It is quite funny. Bite macro you like the | :19:40. | :19:52. | |
way his mouth moves? Yes. It is interesting to try to understand how | :19:53. | :20:08. | |
they work. You just dress a button and it kicks in. You watch the | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
little cogs and wheels working and it is amazing how it happens. | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Science and technology can be fun. Nowadays people do not know how to | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
fix their own washing machines. We just throw things out and buy a new | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
one. Perhaps if we had some of these skills we could work out how to fix | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
the car off the bike when it is broken. I'd macro the exhibition | :20:38. | :20:50. | |
runs until June in Carlisle. Were those your childhood toys? Stop it! | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
