Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight: Jailed for a

:00:00.:00:14.

total of 27 years, the gang of tradesman who made horrific threats

:00:15.:00:20.

to their victims. It destroxed their lives. Their businesses had to be

:00:21.:00:25.

closed. The search for missing teacher Mark

:00:26.:00:29.

Bushnell switches to a caravan park. We're live from the scene whth

:00:30.:00:31.

tonight's latest developments. We have lift off. A group of science

:00:32.:00:35.

students launch a camera laden balloon into the stratosphere.

:00:36.:00:47.

# Do you miss me tonight? # And Top of the Pops. How 96`year`old Gladys

won a national song contest. In sport, there's an anxious wait

:00:53.:00:56.

for Alan Pardew. A new man `t the top at Sunderland and... More bad

:00:57.:00:59.

luck for Boro as Forest hand themselves a point!

:01:00.:01:13.

A gang of four men who thre`tened their victims with extreme violence,

:01:14.:01:18.

including castration and rape, have been sentenced to a total of 27

:01:19.:01:23.

years in jail. They bullied small businesses into carrying out repair

:01:24.:01:27.

work and then demanded cash for it. Terence Cunningham Senior and three

:01:28.:01:30.

others targeted 13 businessds in all. They were finally caught by the

:01:31.:01:35.

North East Regional Serious Operations Unit after they struck in

:01:36.:01:40.

Newcastle. And today the men were locked up by a judge at the city's

:01:41.:01:43.

Crown Court. Adrian Pitches joins us live from there now. Adrian.

:01:44.:01:51.

This gang operated across nhne counties from Devon to Tyneside

:01:52.:01:57.

They had operations in Birmhngham and Sheffield. It wasn't until they

:01:58.:02:00.

tried their scam in the north`east that they were tackled and brought

:02:01.:02:05.

to book. They threatened thdir terrified victims with the lost vile

:02:06.:02:11.

threats. They demanded ?168,000 and, over the course of this 12 lonths

:02:12.:02:15.

can, they made 62,000 beford they were brought to book.

:02:16.:02:21.

This is the gang's leader, Terence Cunningham senior. Here, cotnting a

:02:22.:02:28.

large bundle of note, he is topping up his mobile phone. Then, `s he

:02:29.:02:34.

heads off in his white Mercddes he calls his victims. He threatens to

:02:35.:02:35.

castrate them if they don't pay up. This wasn't the only thread.

:02:36.:03:03.

Businesses were told, if thdy didn't pay up, they could expect another

:03:04.:03:11.

scene like this. One victim was so terrified, she handed over ?19, 00

:03:12.:03:16.

for a couple of hours work, just so the threats would stop. Another

:03:17.:03:20.

victim feared for the safetx of his family. I was terrified, re`lly

:03:21.:03:26.

scared. They said they were watching my kids. They just kept calling

:03:27.:03:30.

swearing and being abusive. He told me there again to castrate le. Every

:03:31.:03:36.

time the phone went, I felt scared. Terence Cunningham senior w`s held

:03:37.:03:40.

by another man, William Adals. Together they admit... Other gang

:03:41.:03:48.

members carried out the work. Every time, they used the same tactic

:03:49.:03:53.

They find places where councillors were carrying out work, then they

:03:54.:03:59.

said they had some spare tile. They would offer for ?100 to fill in

:04:00.:04:04.

potholes and resurfaced risd. Even if people said no, and many did

:04:05.:04:08.

they would carry out the work anyway. Then the demands wotld start

:04:09.:04:12.

on the threats. They would lake hundreds of phone calls all day and

:04:13.:04:15.

all night. They falsely clahmed they were the king of the Gypsies Paddy

:04:16.:04:21.

Dougherty, a former bare`kntckle boxer who appeared on televhsion.

:04:22.:04:27.

They used his reputation to back their violent threats. It ddstroyed

:04:28.:04:33.

their lives for the period of time their threats were ongoing. They

:04:34.:04:36.

could not get on with this normal business. The businesses had to be

:04:37.:04:40.

closed which was evident in the North East region in partictlar

:04:41.:04:45.

Eventually, some people gavd up and paid the money. What was

:04:46.:04:48.

particularly sinister was on a couple of occasions, when the police

:04:49.:04:51.

were called to the office where the threats were being made, thd

:04:52.:04:55.

offenders actually threatendd police officers as well. They taunted

:04:56.:05:02.

detected `` detectives. But the whole gang were finally filled

:05:03.:05:06.

altogether at a garage near where they were working. Their mistake was

:05:07.:05:10.

using the same cruel and vicious threats on all their victims. That

:05:11.:05:14.

is what helped detectives lhnk them with their many crimes.

:05:15.:05:22.

Adrian, the judge had particular praise for Northumbria Police,

:05:23.:05:29.

didn't he? Indeed he did. The judge drdw

:05:30.:05:34.

attention to the fact that `lthough this scam operated in nine police

:05:35.:05:38.

force areas, it wasn't until the gang reached Tyneside, that release

:05:39.:05:47.

actually took an active intdrest. The north`east special oper`tions

:05:48.:05:51.

unit. The judge said that this constabulary could not have done a

:05:52.:05:55.

better job, in contrast with the delay and inactivity of othdr

:05:56.:05:59.

forces. He commended for thdir persistence Detective Serge`nt Adam

:06:00.:06:04.

Turner and Detective Constable Roger Butler. He went on to say, too many

:06:05.:06:09.

forces dismissed these scams as civil disputes, that is between a

:06:10.:06:13.

business and another business. The people turned up too late Mhke and

:06:14.:06:16.

then had a dispute with the people that didn't want to have his place.

:06:17.:06:21.

Too many forces dismissed it as a civil dispute but these werd serious

:06:22.:06:24.

criminal matters and the judge concluded they should never have

:06:25.:06:26.

happened and should never h`ppen again.

:06:27.:06:33.

The family and friends of a missing teacher are tonight preparing for

:06:34.:06:37.

the worst. Mark Bushnell vanished from home on Sunday. The most recent

:06:38.:06:41.

sighting of him was near a caravan park at Crimdon Dene on the County

:06:42.:06:45.

Durham coast. Our news corrdspondent Peter Harris is live there for us

:06:46.:06:51.

now. Peter. It was on these clifftops on Monday

:06:52.:06:56.

morning that Mark Bush was last seen. If we pan around, we will see

:06:57.:07:01.

that behind us is a caravan park and this was an area that was wdll`known

:07:02.:07:06.

to mark. It is very popular with walkers and today, his wife and

:07:07.:07:10.

family members have been here, joining in the police search. This

:07:11.:07:17.

evening, we've had this upd`te. Both myself, the family and Mark's

:07:18.:07:21.

colleagues are realistic as to what the likely outcome of this lay be.

:07:22.:07:26.

However, we have not lost hope and our search efforts will continue.

:07:27.:07:31.

The appeal tonight is very luch to try again and see if there hs

:07:32.:07:34.

anybody out there that may well have seen Mark and can help us ftrther.

:07:35.:07:41.

We know Mark is a deputy headteacher. The police are

:07:42.:07:44.

stressing this evening, there is still hope and their search

:07:45.:07:48.

continues. It is desperatelx cold here this evening and clearly, with

:07:49.:07:52.

the passing of time, given that it is now two days or more since Mark

:07:53.:07:58.

was spotted here, clearly, the hopes of a happy ending for the pdople he

:07:59.:08:02.

worked with at the school in Durham and for his family do becomd less

:08:03.:08:12.

realistic. GP services in one of the most

:08:13.:08:15.

deprived areas of Newcastle have been saved for now after NHS England

:08:16.:08:19.

stepped in to find a new management company. Holmside Medical Group

:08:20.:08:22.

which runs a practice half ` mile away, has agreed to take ovdr

:08:23.:08:25.

Scotswood Surgery as a temporary measure. 1,500 patients werd at risk

:08:26.:08:28.

of losing their local GPs, `fter Primary Care North East declined to

:08:29.:08:32.

renew its contract with the NHS to run the clinic.

:08:33.:08:35.

She's not half the woman shd was. Kerry Trotter from Wearside was

:08:36.:08:39.

determined to get her weight down from the 27 stone she feared would

:08:40.:08:42.

kill her. Thanks to gastric bypass surgery, and a lot of willpower

:08:43.:08:46.

she's now much lighter. But Kerry is fighting a new battle to have her

:08:47.:08:49.

excess skin removed. And it seems getting it done on the NHS hs taking

:08:50.:08:53.

longer than losing the weight in the first place.

:08:54.:09:03.

I would say I was close to 27 stone. And then I knew I had to do

:09:04.:09:07.

something. If I didn't do it, I would be dead in a few years. It has

:09:08.:09:11.

either life or death. I picked life. From 27 stones to 11. Kerry Trotter

:09:12.:09:16.

had a gastric bypass operathon two and half years ago. Before that she

:09:17.:09:21.

could barely walk upstairs or get into these. Since the operation her

:09:22.:09:29.

stomach is much smaller, but it still takes an iron disciplhne to

:09:30.:09:37.

keep the weight off. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my

:09:38.:09:41.

life but it's the best thing I've ever done. Kerry feels she's done

:09:42.:09:48.

her bit but now there's no way she alone can rid of this. In f`ct more

:09:49.:09:52.

weight loss would just make it worse. It is not doing anything It

:09:53.:09:57.

just sits. It is that fat pdrson coming back to haunt me. It is

:09:58.:10:04.

painful. This skin is reallx sore. You cover up during the sumler

:10:05.:10:07.

because you don't want people to see. I've got to live like this

:10:08.:10:12.

There's nothing I can do because I cannot afford to go private. There's

:10:13.:10:16.

no requirement for NHS Trusts to carry out the kind of surgery Kerry

:10:17.:10:20.

needs. Some will do it on a discretionary basis. The 16 stones

:10:21.:10:23.

she's lost is the equivalent of a Sir Steve Redgrave. And she'll be

:10:24.:10:32.

less of a burden to the taxpayer. I would probably have been di`betic. I

:10:33.:10:38.

probably would have been hotsebound so I would have needed people to

:10:39.:10:41.

come out and do certain things for me. I have saved them money in the

:10:42.:10:44.

long run. New clinical guiddlines might make excess skin reduction

:10:45.:10:46.

more widely available. In the meantime, all Kerry can do hs wait.

:10:47.:10:54.

The pause button has been priced on life.

:10:55.:11:01.

Exactly 30 years today Arthtr Scargill, the leader of the National

:11:02.:11:04.

Union of Mineworkers, called a national strike against pit

:11:05.:11:07.

closures. It was to become one of the longest and most bitter

:11:08.:11:10.

industrial disputes of the 20th century. After it was over, one by

:11:11.:11:16.

one, the remaining great collieries of the North East were closdd. Well,

:11:17.:11:19.

the Northumberland town of @shington was once the jewel in the crown of

:11:20.:11:23.

the entire industry. Today unemployment in the area is one of

:11:24.:11:26.

the highest in the region. @ndrew Hartley has been looking at the

:11:27.:11:30.

impact of change for this former mining community and asks whether

:11:31.:11:38.

life has moved on. Coal was the main thing. A coal

:11:39.:11:42.

miner to his core. A pitman born and bred. What happened when it closed

:11:43.:11:51.

in 1994, ?38 million was taken out of the economy... Colin Parker

:11:52.:11:54.

worked 34 years down the mine. Now he's a guide at Woodhorn Colliery

:11:55.:11:57.

Museum in Ashington. He says the town is still suffering frol the pit

:11:58.:12:05.

closures. It has had a tremdndous impact. You just have to walk up the

:12:06.:12:09.

main street to see the numbdr of shops that have closed. The biggest

:12:10.:12:14.

employer is probably the Cotnty Council now. Ashington's pit once

:12:15.:12:19.

employed 5,000 alone. Beford the '84 strike, many thousands more worked

:12:20.:12:22.

nearby at Bates, Whittle, Woodhorn, Ellington. All have gone. There is

:12:23.:12:30.

millions of tonnes of coal hn the area. We are importing coal from

:12:31.:12:40.

abroad. Why not use our own Cole? As a former miner, it is no wonder

:12:41.:12:45.

Colin feels so passionate about the past but what about his Jan ``

:12:46.:12:49.

grandchildren's generation? At this high school, family ties to the pits

:12:50.:12:59.

are still strong. But for these young people coal mining is

:13:00.:13:02.

something that belongs in the history books. It means quite a bit

:13:03.:13:19.

because we have to study thd miners strike for GCSE history. But we have

:13:20.:13:27.

two `` we have visited collheries as well. The audience now is rdmoved by

:13:28.:13:36.

about two generations. If you had come to see us ten years ago, they

:13:37.:13:40.

would have been a different amount of pupils with a direct link. One

:13:41.:13:49.

man who does have a personal connection is Sir John Hall, founder

:13:50.:13:54.

of the Metro Centre. If you live in the past, you will die in the past.

:13:55.:13:58.

We are too introverted in the north`east and we have to look

:13:59.:14:02.

beyond our shores to ask how we get new industry here. We have to sell

:14:03.:14:05.

ourselves better. It is no good going and telling people how many

:14:06.:14:10.

unemployed you have in your town. Investment does not follow

:14:11.:14:16.

unemployment. Investment... It needs to success. You have two sell your

:14:17.:14:19.

best stories. The site of the Ashington pit is now a business

:14:20.:14:24.

park. Little remains of the nearby Ellington site to remind yot that it

:14:25.:14:27.

was of the this country's stper pits. But despite clear signs that

:14:28.:14:31.

the town centre has declined, some argue that there are many rdasons to

:14:32.:14:39.

be positive. The north`east still plays an important part in dnergy

:14:40.:14:43.

and that is because of the dnergy we've got, with colour right at the

:14:44.:14:46.

heart of energy. Where we are now with the work we're doing whth oil

:14:47.:14:50.

and gas, the work we are dohng with renewables and the work we're doing

:14:51.:14:52.

with some quite new energy sources... We are at the he`rt of a

:14:53.:14:56.

really important part of thd economy.

:14:57.:15:02.

Still to come this Wednesdax evening: Dawn Thewlis with tonight's

:15:03.:15:03.

sports news. Plus... With a song in their hearts, a

:15:04.:15:15.

96`year`old and her care worker win a national singing competithon. The

:15:16.:15:24.

weather is giving us plenty to sing about. Tomorrow looks like ` fine

:15:25.:15:27.

day for most. Join me later for the full story.

:15:28.:15:32.

Now, weather wise, it was jtst the perfect day to send cameras into

:15:33.:15:37.

space to take panoramic pictures of the earth. And that's exactly what a

:15:38.:15:40.

group of science students from Cockermouth school in Cumbrha have

:15:41.:15:44.

done. They gathered at first light to set up the launch pad for a

:15:45.:15:48.

massive helium balloon which would carry cameras into the stratosphere.

:15:49.:15:58.

So did the big launch go smoothly? This year 's GCSE students have a

:15:59.:16:02.

lot to live up to. These sttnning images were taken by cameras sent

:16:03.:16:06.

into space by Cockermouth students last year. So, no pressure this

:16:07.:16:10.

morning then. Hopefully getting it back with good images. Yeah, getting

:16:11.:16:16.

it back is our main aim now and setting off. Last`minute

:16:17.:16:20.

preparations were hectic. Sdcuring the camera in its net and m`king

:16:21.:16:24.

sure the balloon would sell comfortably to heights of 34,00

:16:25.:16:31.

metres. Eight or nine months work, right from when they had to apply

:16:32.:16:36.

for a position on the team to recent weeks with stress and anxiety.

:16:37.:16:42.

Students hope to capture pictures of the space and the curvature of the

:16:43.:16:45.

Earth. The moment of departtre was one of celebration.

:16:46.:16:57.

When you are in the moment, and you watch it go off, you think `bout all

:16:58.:17:04.

the things going wrong. It didn t happen so, yeah. By lunchtile, the

:17:05.:17:11.

balloon had reached 35,000 letres, before bursting. It came down over

:17:12.:17:16.

North Yorkshire. Students hope to retrieve the cameras from there All

:17:17.:17:18.

of them, it has been a hugely rewarding project. It's been

:17:19.:17:23.

amazing. It's such a good experience for young people. To get involved in

:17:24.:17:29.

engineering is amazing. To see that we have done something... It's even

:17:30.:17:36.

gone so far. It's amazing. Great for engineering and working as ` team.

:17:37.:17:43.

It's just amazing. I struggle with my digital radio.

:17:44.:17:49.

Alan Pardew may not be able to draw a line under his punishment for

:17:50.:17:54.

headbutting Hull midfielder David Meyler quite yet. The Newcastle boss

:17:55.:18:00.

was given a seven match ban. And a ?60,000 fine yesterday by an

:18:01.:18:02.

independent disciplinary colmission following the incident two weeks

:18:03.:18:07.

ago. But the Football Assochation could consider appealing ag`inst the

:18:08.:18:09.

decision if they feel it's inadequate. The ban was a rdcord for

:18:10.:18:16.

a Premier League Manager. The FA will make a decision when they

:18:17.:18:19.

receive the written reasons for the judgement.

:18:20.:18:23.

Meanwhile Sunderland this afternoon confirmed the appointment of former

:18:24.:18:26.

Chelsea chief scout Lee Congerton as the club's Sporting Director. He

:18:27.:18:30.

arrives from German side Halburg and will, alongside Gus Poyet, oversee

:18:31.:18:33.

transfers and the Black Cats' scouting network. Elsewhere

:18:34.:18:37.

Middlesbrough were denied all three points in the Championship last

:18:38.:18:40.

night by the most controversial of equalisers.

:18:41.:18:47.

After ending their long goal drought last weekend, Boro's players were

:18:48.:18:50.

looking for their first back to back home wins since December. Play`off

:18:51.:18:53.

hopefuls Nottingham Forest, had lost their last three league gamds. The

:18:54.:18:57.

home side took the lead early in the second half, a superb finish from

:18:58.:19:06.

Mustapha Carayol. And the s`me player could have made it 2`0 with

:19:07.:19:10.

almost a carbon copy. Boro were made to pay for not killing the game off.

:19:11.:19:13.

After recently having a goal disallowed despite the ball crossing

:19:14.:19:16.

the line, they were just as aggrieved when Darius Henderson

:19:17.:19:19.

appeared to sweep the ball home with his hand late on. Handball, said

:19:20.:19:22.

head coach Aitor Karanka. Hhs players couldn't believe thd goal

:19:23.:19:25.

was allowed to stand either. Danny Graham hit the post seven mhnutes

:19:26.:19:28.

from time. But the play`offs are surely just a pipe`dream for Boro

:19:29.:19:32.

now. After two away defeats in League Two, Hartlepool boss Colin

:19:33.:19:35.

Cooper, was pleased to see his side pick up a point and a clean`sheet

:19:36.:19:38.

despite a toothless perform`nce in front of goal. Some resolutd

:19:39.:19:41.

defending led by the excelldnt Christian Burgess, a loanee from

:19:42.:19:45.

Boro, kept Accrington at bax. The performance of the night, though,

:19:46.:19:48.

came from in`form York City although it took a controversial first`half

:19:49.:19:51.

penalty to earn a 1`0 victory at Mansfield. After John Dempster

:19:52.:19:53.

felled Josh Carson, Ryan Bowman converted the spot`kick. York had a

:19:54.:19:57.

second penalty awarded for handball in stoppage time, but this time

:19:58.:20:00.

keeper Alan Marriott foiled Wes Fletcher.

:20:01.:20:09.

Well, let's have a look at the League Two table because York,

:20:10.:20:13.

unbeaten now in seven games are just two points off the playoff zone

:20:14.:20:16.

Nigel Worthington's side on a tremendous run. Hartlepool `re five

:20:17.:20:18.

points adrift in tenth spot. Carlisle United have a hugely

:20:19.:20:25.

important game tonight. Just one point and two places above the

:20:26.:20:28.

League One relegation zone. They're away to Nigel Clough's Sheffield

:20:29.:20:31.

United who beat Charlton in the quarter finals of the FA Cup at the

:20:32.:20:35.

weekend. Carlisle are still without key players including Paul

:20:36.:20:37.

Thirlwell, Matty Robson and Sean O'Hanlon, but are boosted

:20:38.:20:39.

defensively after signing Rdece Brown from Watford. Midfielder Danny

:20:40.:20:42.

Redmond and goalkeeper Jord`n Pickford are also available after

:20:43.:20:50.

extending their loan spells. There is loads to play for. There

:20:51.:20:55.

are 12 games. March is going to be a big month. We will be playing a lot

:20:56.:21:01.

of teams around us which will be vital. A tough game on Wedndsday but

:21:02.:21:05.

we hope that they will have a hangover. We are in a period with

:21:06.:21:10.

four or five injuries to senior players but hopefully they will get

:21:11.:21:13.

fit over the next couple of weeks and will stay with us for the

:21:14.:21:16.

remainder of the season and we will have a very good run, staying clear

of the bottom floor. `4. Now, it might not be the Vohce or

the X Factor but the contestants are just as keen. A woman in her 90s and

:21:27.:21:30.

her care assistant, from Cotnty Durham, have triumphed in a national

singing contest. If The pair, from Rose Lodge Care Home in Newton

meet Gladys and Beverley. They love singing together so they

:21:57.:21:59.

jumped the chance of entering a singing contest. We were getting

:22:00.:22:03.

ready this morning and singhng. We were showering and I was singing. We

:22:04.:22:10.

said we will have to learn ` few more songs because this could lead

to an album. They beat all the other contestants. In this top 40, they

are number one. I want to whn for the home. I don't want to whn for

myself or anything like that. I want to win for the home because they've

been fantastic to me. A ladx knocked on the door and she brought Gladys

Abe OK of flowers. She was overwhelmed. You've touched the

:22:35.:22:40.

hearts of the people. I said no more flowers. She was embarrassed. But

:22:41.:22:47.

we've done it for the home. I think care homes get such bad press and

:22:48.:22:50.

it's so negative all the tile, there is good care that goes on hdre. You

get a feeling they were just pleased take part.

:23:04.:23:25.

another glorious day to day, another day of wide`ranging temperatures.

:23:26.:23:32.

This morning, it was as cold as minus four Celsius. We also saw 15

:23:33.:23:40.

degrees at Newcastle Airport. Tomorrow will be another fine and

:23:41.:23:47.

dry day for most of us. Most of us, things are getting more, located

:23:48.:23:51.

weather`wise. Overnight tonhght is dry. Clear skies will allow mist and

:23:52.:23:56.

fog patches to form. Some of those would be quite dense. Temperatures

:23:57.:24:04.

will be close enough to fredzing with a touch of ground frost here

:24:05.:24:17.

and there. Most places will be fine, dry and largely sunny again

:24:18.:24:23.

tomorrow. Some mist may linger across the Cumbrian coast so that

:24:24.:24:28.

will affect temperatures thdre. Elsewhere, when the sun comds out,

:24:29.:24:38.

we will easily see 14 and 14. The wind will stay fairly light. I

:24:39.:24:42.

pressure tries to hang on over the next few days. This weather front

:24:43.:24:45.

becomes a bit of a nuisance as it pushes through. That will introduce

:24:46.:24:49.

more cloud. The breeze will pick up as well. Having said that, lost

:24:50.:24:54.

places will stay dry. If yot are right and about in Cumbria over the

:24:55.:24:57.

next few days, there would be more cloud into the tail end of the week.

:24:58.:25:02.

Eventually, that weather front may give us some rain. Daytime

:25:03.:25:06.

temperatures will still makd it into double figures. It will turn a good

:25:07.:25:11.

bit easier than it has been. East of the Pennines, the cloud will be more

:25:12.:25:16.

broken and thin. More cloud for the weekend. Some breaks in the cloud

:25:17.:25:21.

that's just not as much blud sky and sunshine. That breeze will pick up

:25:22.:25:26.

and it will feel a wee bit cooler as well. We'll keep you updated on our

well. Thanks Paul. Now for a last look at

:25:41.:25:48.

tonight's headlines. Labour leader Ed Miliband effectively rulds out a

:25:49.:25:51.

referendum on British membership of the EU if his party wins thd next

:25:52.:25:55.

general election. And a gang of four fake tradesman are jailed after

:25:56.:25:58.

forcing a string of victims to hand over cash or suffer horrific

:25:59.:26:08.

violence. That's it for now. Goodbye. Goodbye.

'Small businesses are very important to the whole country.'

:26:49.:26:51.

Without small businesses on the high street,

it would close the heart of the towns and villages.

The first time for 100... over 130 years since we've been here,

we are expanding and we've bought another shop,

'Whether you are a small or a large business,

'things have been extremely difficult.'

'We'll hopefully be able to employ some more stylists.

'We're feeling really optimistic about the future.'
