Good evening. The television actor Clive Mantle has told a court how a | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
large part of his ear was bitten off during an attack in a Newcastle | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
hotel. Two men from Hamilton in Scotland have denied a charge of | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
wounding with intent at the city's Crown Court. Mr. Mantle told the | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
court the attack was like "two hyenas bringing down an old water | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
buffalo". Jonathan Swingler reports. The trial has heard how Clive Mantle | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
was staying at a hotel on the 24th of March last year. The 56`year`old | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
actor best known as the surgeon in the BBC medical drama Holby city was | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
appearing in the Theatre Royal. He heard shouting in the corridor | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
outside at 4:30am. Then, the actor had his ear bitten off in a series | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
of events. He asked to meant to be quiet. This afternoon, the actor | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
denied losing his temper and said that it didn't say shut up. The jury | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
heard how Clive Mantle felt he was treated as sport, a figure of fun. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Said he pushed past the pair saying, right, I am getting security. He | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
described being attacked and pulled to the ground and being punched by | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
two very drunk people. He said he tried to keep his head as still as | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
possible as his ear was being bitten. It was suggested he ran at | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
the defendant. Absolutely not, said the actor, saying it was like two | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
hyenas bringing down water buffalo. Both men deny wounding with intent. | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
The trial continues. Parents in a North Yorkshire town | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
are demanding answers after it emerged that the entire governing | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
body of one of the county's largest secondary schools has resigned. So | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
far none of the governors at Richmond School and Sixth Form have | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
explained why they stepped down. Our reporter Luke Walton joins me now. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
How unusual is this kind of mass resignation? It is very unusual and | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
more unusual is that none of the governors involved have so far | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
issued a statement as to why they decided to step down. We have had a | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
statement from the council, no word either from the head teacher, we | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
have tried to speak to him and also to the governing body all day but | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
perhaps because it is half term, we have not so far made contact. The | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
council saved the reasons behind the resignation are confidential but no | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
safeguarding issues are involved. In other words, that is no risk to | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
pupils. But it doesn't reassure all parents. Para`macro we are concerned | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
for our daughter's education. For the management of the school to be | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
so dysfunctional, we don't know what it is, we don't know why it has | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
happened and we are very worried, as are many other parents and we have | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
seen this on social media recently where parents are speculating as to | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
what has gone on. so, very concerned parents but the council insist the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
education of pupils will not be affected? yes, and this is the | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
second full school. `` successful school. Ofsted said it was a good | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
school and they mentioned its strong leadership. So, has anything changed | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
in the last 12 months? I understand there has been a difference of | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
opinion between the headteacher and the governing body. One of the local | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
councillors representing Richmond said there is still a need for | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
answers. It is very rare for an entire governing body to leave. I | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
need to understand why they have gone, from their point of view, from | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
the school's point of view and from the education authority what brought | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
us to this situation so that we can actually make sure nothing like this | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
happens again and we can guarantee that the school flourishes. I | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
understand next week, the school and council will be writing a joint | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
letter to the parents, interest in the day`to`day running of the school | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
will not be affected by these events. We are also told an interim | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
executive board will take over the governorship in the meantime but | :04:34. | 9:57:38 | |
there will be some new governors appointed eventually. | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
Unemployment has fallen in the North East, according to the latest | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
figures. The number of jobless people is down by 3,000 to 130,000. | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
That's an unemployment rate of ten per cent, which remains the highest | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
in the country. The number of people claiming job seekers allowance in | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
Cumbria rose between December and January. There are now 6,642 | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
claimants ` that's a rise of 279. The County Council says it reflects | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
the end of seasonal Christmas jobs. But 250 new jobs are being created | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
at a Hartlepool shipyard. Engineers are being taken on by Heerema | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
Fabrication Group to work on the Cygnus North Sea project ` providing | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
gas to one and a half million homes. A flood`damaged bridge in Loftus in | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
East Cleveland has left a small community cut off from the rest of | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
their town. Residents on Gaskell Lane relied on the bridge to get in | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
and out of their street, but violent flooding five months ago has meant | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
it's no longer safe to use, and there's no prospect of it being | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
repaired. The bridge, it's been discovered, belongs to one of the | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
residents here. They can't afford to reinstate it, but then neither can | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
Redcar and Cleveland council so, for the people living here, escape looks | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
a long way off. Because the council had resurfaced it and repaired it in | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
the past, we assumed it was their responsibility. But they are now | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
saying one resident owns that bridge, which we were totally | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
unaware of and the time. And so they are backing off and saying it is not | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
their responsibility. It's predicted that Newcastle will | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
become one of the UK's first super`connected cities within 18 | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
months. Launched today, Go Digital Newcastle will see 97% of the city | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
given access to superfast fibre broadband by Summer 2015. It's | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
predicted the ?10 million scheme will boost the city's economy by | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
around ?150 million. That is all from me tonight. The National | 9:57:39 | 9:57:38 | |
