worth up to ?2000. That is all from us,

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to Tuesday's Look North In tonight's headlines ` fighthng to

petition Number ten to get them released. We know they are talking

:00:12.:00:20.

to the Indian government and we thank them for that. But we need

:00:21.:00:23.

them to step up more and get these lads out of there now. The

:00:24.:00:26.

North`East crime trend which leaves victims mutilated and needing

plastic surgery. Major disruption in Harrogate

tonight as crews struggle to bring a restaurant fire under control. We'll

have the latest. Calls for a change in the l`w that

:00:40.:00:43.

could help babies like Ryan, in desperate need of a new heart.

:00:44.:00:47.

Tonight's sport comes to yot with the Parliamentary seal of approval.

:00:48.:00:50.

That's because one of the rdgion's MPs has been watching our speedway

:00:51.:00:54.

teams rev up for the new se`son ` and he's their leader in thd

:00:55.:00:55.

Commons. They served their country in the

:00:56.:01:09.

British Army but since October, three former soldiers from the

:01:10.:01:12.

region have languished in an Indian jail. Nick Dunn from Ashington, John

:01:13.:01:17.

Armstrong from Wigton and Nhcholas Simpson from Catterick are `mong six

:01:18.:01:20.

men accused of entering Indhan waters illegally. Their famhlies say

:01:21.:01:24.

they're being kept in inhum`ne conditions ` and today they took

:01:25.:01:28.

their campaign to get them home to the Prime Minister. Here's our

:01:29.:01:36.

Political Correspondent Mark Denten. October last year and on an Indian

:01:37.:01:42.

dockside, ship surrounded bx police. It's just the start of an

:01:43.:01:46.

ongoing nightmare the six former soldiers. The group, includhng Nick

:01:47.:01:51.

Dunn and John Armstrong, were working for an American firl,

:01:52.:01:55.

providing protection against piracy, when their ship was seized `nd they

:01:56.:02:01.

were arrested. They have now been locked up in an Indian jail for

:02:02.:02:06.

nearly five months. The six men were arrested on October 12. Thex have

:02:07.:02:11.

been held in prison since October 24.

:02:12.:02:16.

Nicholas Simpson, a constittent of William Hague, is also part of the

:02:17.:02:28.

group, today supported of the men took their campaign to Downhng

:02:29.:02:31.

Street, delivering a petition and a message to the government. These are

:02:32.:02:37.

six British nationals, ex`mhlitary, who have served our country on the

:02:38.:02:44.

front line, and we need thehr help. We want them to step up thehr

:02:45.:02:48.

efforts. We know they're talking to the Indian government and wd thank

:02:49.:02:52.

them for that, but we need them to step up more and get these lads out

:02:53.:02:59.

of there now. The conditions are horrendous. You never expect prisons

:03:00.:03:04.

to be nice places, but I certainly didn't expect the conditions to be

:03:05.:03:08.

as horrific as what they actually are. They are inhumane. The Foreign

:03:09.:03:14.

Office says the prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have raisdd the

:03:15.:03:18.

case with Indian ministers. But the government is unable to enstre the

:03:19.:03:26.

release of the men. Ian Lavery ` the constituency MP for

:03:27.:03:30.

one of the men ` joins me now from Westminster. You were there today,

:03:31.:03:35.

but the problem is surely that we can't just demand that the Hndian

:03:36.:03:39.

government hand over these len? Of course, you can demand that another

:03:40.:03:44.

country just releases men bdcause another country says that they

:03:45.:03:50.

should. That is understandable. But we have to realise that we have six

:03:51.:03:55.

lead in prison in Chen I, in squalid, terrible conditions, and I

:03:56.:04:02.

think, 140 odd people handed the position in, we just asked the prime

:04:03.:04:09.

Minster to intervene, step tp to the plate and try and put more political

:04:10.:04:13.

pressure on the Indian authorities to at least release the indhviduals

:04:14.:04:17.

on bail so they can start to live a normal life again. They havd been in

:04:18.:04:23.

jail for five months. Is it realistic that this process can be

:04:24.:04:28.

speeded up? I think it is, think they have been that many full story

:04:29.:04:32.

was, it's unreal. We are hoping that the judgement from the magistrate

:04:33.:04:39.

will be made either tomorrow or on Thursday, and we have got otr

:04:40.:04:42.

fingers crossed, hoping that this time, they will be released. If they

:04:43.:04:46.

are released, it will mean that they can at least live in decent

:04:47.:04:51.

conditions, in a hotel or other until the court case is heard. And

:04:52.:04:56.

hopefully, the court case whll not be delayed either, and that's the

:04:57.:04:58.

second problem we face. North Yorkshire Police say they re

:04:59.:05:09.

about to reveal new leads in the case of the missing York wolan

:05:10.:05:12.

Claudia Lawrence. It's five years today since Claudia was last seen.

:05:13.:05:15.

Police are seeking informathon from the public about two vehiclds seen

:05:16.:05:19.

near her home around the tile she disappeared. Police believe she was

:05:20.:05:25.

murdered ` but her family still hope she's alive. They have been

:05:26.:05:32.

extremely thorough, a compldtely new team are on, very experiencdd team,

:05:33.:05:38.

and yes, I do hope that this is going to get somewhere. But you

:05:39.:05:43.

can't be too hopeful. It's a crime that leaves victims

:05:44.:05:46.

mutilated and with injuries that cost thousands to put right. And now

:05:47.:05:52.

the toll of ear bite attacks in our region has been revealed. One

:05:53.:05:55.

hospital kept the figures ` which showed nearly 250 victims in less

:05:56.:05:59.

than ten years. A surgeon h`s told Look North parts of our reghon seem

:06:00.:06:03.

to have a particular problel with biting. Our News Corresponddnt Peter

:06:04.:06:10.

Harris reports. A night out with his girlfrhend and

:06:11.:06:14.

for Marco, this is how it ended Part of an ear bitten off in a pizza

:06:15.:06:19.

shop. Before I knew it, he hit us a few times and then got us on the

:06:20.:06:23.

floor and went on to say he was going to bite my ear off and

:06:24.:06:31.

actually bit my ear off. Thdy took the cartilage from my right ear and

:06:32.:06:35.

shaped it into an ear shape, and took some skin membrane frol beneath

:06:36.:06:38.

the scalp to go over the cartilage and made it to become living and

:06:39.:06:42.

took a skin graft from inside my arm and put that over. That was nearly

:06:43.:06:48.

two years ago, but still nobody has been caught. Ear bites achidved a

:06:49.:06:51.

higher profile when the actor Clive Mantle was bitten in Newcastle, but

:06:52.:06:57.

they are peculiarly common. Here in Middlesbrough they kept the figures

:06:58.:07:00.

and found that since 2005, 246 people were admitted here for ear

:07:01.:07:03.

bites and of those, around half 120, subsequently needed surgery. In

:07:04.:07:11.

some communities, they will resort to punching and kicking and beating

:07:12.:07:15.

people up, other places thex will use baseball bats, other pl`ces they

:07:16.:07:24.

will use sharp implements or guns. In Teesside, it's one of thd places

:07:25.:07:28.

where we do get people who have been bitten. It seems extraordin`ry, why

:07:29.:07:34.

would that be? What drives someone to bite someone else is absolutely

:07:35.:07:38.

beyond me, because apart from the physical injury that it causes, the

:07:39.:07:41.

person that's doing the bithng might have any number of infections that

:07:42.:07:44.

they could pass on to the pdrson they have written. Ear biting is

:07:45.:07:50.

usually drink related, it costs the NHS a fortune. For victims like

:07:51.:07:58.

Marco, the sickening knowledge as well that nobody was ever c`ught for

:07:59.:08:01.

maiming him. Angry, deep down inside. Just have to try and move

:08:02.:08:10.

on, don't you? Peter Harris joins me now. Is there any evidence that bite

:08:11.:08:14.

attacks are becoming more common in our region? Is something I had never

:08:15.:08:19.

really thought of but according to the surgeon there, the top of

:08:20.:08:23.

violence that gets used varhes from place to place and in his vhew, on

:08:24.:08:27.

Deeside, ear bite attacks are more common. Is it getting worse? There

:08:28.:08:34.

is no evidence for that but nearly 250 people with ear bite wotnds here

:08:35.:08:38.

in Middlesbrough in ten years is a lot of victims, and for the NHS

:08:39.:08:43.

that means a lot of expense because surgery to correct this typd of

:08:44.:08:47.

injury tends to be long and complex. A man accused of starting a fire on

:08:48.:08:51.

a ferry from North Shields `t Christmas says the court has no

:08:52.:08:55.

jurisdiction in the case because it happened "on the high seas". Boden

:08:56.:08:58.

Hughes ` who's from Sunderl`nd ` has been charged with arson and affray

:08:59.:09:02.

after a fire broke out on a DFDS service to Amsterdam in Decdmber. A

:09:03.:09:06.

hearing will be held in May ` where the issue of jurisdiction whll be

:09:07.:09:13.

sorted out. A Cleveland Police officer who was

:09:14.:09:17.

killed when he was hit by a train had been arrested two days

:09:18.:09:20.

previously on suspicion of ` sexual offence. 41`year`old Ged Sw`sh had

:09:21.:09:23.

been released on bail in connection an alleged offence while off duty.

:09:24.:09:27.

Mr Swash died on a level crossing at Cowpen Bewley in Billingham last

:09:28.:09:30.

Tuesday. It's one of only two child heart

:09:31.:09:34.

transplant centres in the UK ` but surgeons say an outdated rule is

:09:35.:09:37.

stopping them from saving even more lives. Babies who die under the age

:09:38.:09:41.

of two months in this country are not allowed to be declared "brain

:09:42.:09:44.

stem dead" ` which means thdir organs can't be used to savd the

:09:45.:09:48.

lives of similarly`aged babhes. So, instead, infants here have to wait

:09:49.:09:51.

until an organ from abroad can be found. It's a crazy double standard,

:09:52.:09:54.

say the surgeons at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. Our Chief Reporter

:09:55.:10:04.

Chris Stewart has the story. This is Ryan. Six months old, but so

:10:05.:10:08.

small that only a tiny new heart will save him. And he's one of three

:10:09.:10:12.

children at the Freeman right now whose lives will depend on ` tiny

:10:13.:10:15.

heart arriving from abroad. His mum and dad are from Wolverhampton ` and

:10:16.:10:21.

are finding it difficult to accept. We have been here so long, `nd we

:10:22.:10:26.

could save so many babies lhves I think it's really important because

:10:27.:10:31.

in the rest of the world, Etrope, we had to get hearts from therd in our

:10:32.:10:34.

own country, we should be able to do that, really. We have been waiting

:10:35.:10:43.

for five months now. I think which are just scrap the rule. Thdre are

:10:44.:10:46.

loads of babies who possiblx could have been a donor from Ryan, we

:10:47.:10:52.

wouldn't even be here. We would have been spending our time with him and

:10:53.:10:56.

our other son. The UK rules on declaring a young baby brain stem

:10:57.:10:59.

dead date back to a time long before transplants for babies was dven a

:11:00.:11:02.

possibility. And they were drafted when the available technology meant

:11:03.:11:05.

making a brain death diagnosis was more difficult. The surgeons are as

:11:06.:11:16.

frustrated as the parents. Ht is just a crazy situation, and it's

:11:17.:11:19.

difficult to see how it has arisen but what we would like to do is see

:11:20.:11:23.

it resolved. In the last 18 months or so, five little babies who have

:11:24.:11:26.

died because they didn't get a donor organ in time. Are you saying that

:11:27.:11:33.

if those babies have been in France or Italy, they would have lhved

:11:34.:11:37.

They would have a much bettdr chance of getting a donor, yes. Thd science

:11:38.:11:41.

behind the UK guidelines is currently under review and ` report

:11:42.:11:57.

is due this summer. Crews are struggling to bring a large fire

:11:58.:12:00.

under control in Harrogate. Heavy smoke from a fire in a rest`urant is

:12:01.:12:04.

causing major problems in the area, with many roads in the town now

:12:05.:12:11.

affected. Fire and thick smoke, which could be

:12:12.:12:14.

seen for miles around the cdntre of Harrogate. Firefighters havd spent

:12:15.:12:19.

the day tackling the blaze, which is believed to have started in the

:12:20.:12:25.

kitchen of an Italian restr`int We were called here this morning with

:12:26.:12:30.

reports of smoke, because of the nature and design of the buhlding,

:12:31.:12:33.

it has been able to spread between the floors. We have been trxing to

:12:34.:12:38.

understand the layout of thd building, so it has passed through

:12:39.:12:42.

these areas and detected, wd have been admitting breathing apparatus

:12:43.:12:45.

teams into these areas to try and locate the conditions. But we have

:12:46.:12:52.

had to try and attack the fhre from the outside. The fire startdd in

:12:53.:12:57.

this restaurant behind us at around 11:30am, and now, almost five hours

:12:58.:13:05.

on, the blaze is still going on with around 100 firefighters tackling it.

:13:06.:13:09.

Several streets have been cordoned off for most of the day. Thd flats

:13:10.:13:13.

above the restaurant have bden evacuated. Tonight, those lhving

:13:14.:13:18.

there have been moved into dmergency accommodation. Luckily, no one is

:13:19.:13:26.

thought to have been injured. We will have more on that storx in our

:13:27.:13:29.

late news. England and Durham cricketer Sir Ian

:13:30.:13:32.

Botham was in Darlington today opening a new Clinical Rese`rch

:13:33.:13:35.

Centre at the town's Memori`l Hospital. The new centre ` the

:13:36.:13:40.

biggest in the North East ` will carry out drug trials and rdsearch

:13:41.:13:43.

into a number of conditions, including cancer and diabetds. Sir

:13:44.:13:46.

Ian, who lives in Darlington, revealed that his family has a

:13:47.:13:49.

particular interest in the treatment of diabetes. My daughter has brittle

:13:50.:13:57.

diabetes, which is the worst form. She was injecting at least four

:13:58.:14:01.

times a day. Now she is on the pump, she spends a lot of time rushed into

:14:02.:14:07.

hospital, in intensive care, here or Northallerton. So yes, anything to

:14:08.:14:13.

help. You're watching Look North. Still to

:14:14.:14:16.

come in tonight's programme ` the region's four speedway teams get a

:14:17.:14:20.

political blessing. The lost mountaineer ` photos and

:14:21.:14:23.

memorabilia of a legendary climber are about to go on public dhsplay.

:14:24.:14:28.

We have a weather front comhng through from the West, that will

:14:29.:14:32.

bring in some wet and windy weather and introduce some cooler wdather so

:14:33.:14:35.

we could be back to overnight frosts by the weekend.

:14:36.:14:41.

The North East has the highdst number of hospital admissions for

:14:42.:14:46.

eating disorders in the country ` and numbers are growing at `n

:14:47.:14:50.

alarming rate. But a change in the way our health service treats people

:14:51.:14:54.

` means that those who need to be admitted to hospital ` must now

:14:55.:14:57.

travel to the only NHS commhssioned centre in Darlington. In protest,

:14:58.:15:01.

seven MPs have written to the Health Minister calling for the downgrading

:15:02.:15:04.

of the service in Newcastle to be reconsidered. Those affected most

:15:05.:15:12.

are patients and their families Our health reporter Sharon Barbour has

:15:13.:15:15.

the story. I always remember my mum saxing to

:15:16.:15:19.

me, no parent should ever h`ve to bury their child. And yet on a

:15:20.:15:25.

number of occasions, that is kind of what she thought was going to

:15:26.:15:28.

happen. Steven Brown developed an eating disorder as a teenagdr. I

:15:29.:15:33.

always strived to do the best, not the best I can do, but the best

:15:34.:15:37.

full stop. It begins to takd over, in a sense. The eating disorder was

:15:38.:15:43.

my form of control. At its worst, he was the weight of a small child

:15:44.:15:46.

half the weight he is today, and critically ill. He says the

:15:47.:15:49.

Newcastle eating service saved his life. It was life`threatening. I

:15:50.:15:53.

needed to be admitted and ttbe`fed, so I ended up on the medical ward.

:15:54.:15:58.

The team very carefully explained this to me step`by`step. But

:15:59.:16:05.

Newcastle can no longer admht patients for specialist card after

:16:06.:16:08.

the contract was awarded instead to a centre in Darlington. And if

:16:09.:16:17.

that's full, to other centrds further away. I can't imagine how

:16:18.:16:22.

difficult it is to be a mother or father, watching their child go

:16:23.:16:25.

through something like this, but then having them taken away into

:16:26.:16:29.

hospital. Sonya ` not her rdal name ` is one of those parents. Her

:16:30.:16:33.

daughter is also anorexic. Ly daughter was seriously ill, it

:16:34.:16:36.

wouldn't be an exaggeration to say her life was at risk, and she was

:16:37.:16:40.

absolutely terrified. The only thing that made it bearable for any of us

:16:41.:16:44.

was that she was treated in Newcastle, close to our homd, which

:16:45.:16:47.

was vitally important for pdople with this terrible illness, they

:16:48.:16:50.

need the love and support of their family to fight back. That hs why

:16:51.:16:55.

NICE guidelines recommend that patients are treated close to home.

:16:56.:17:00.

The North`East has the highdst number of hospital admissions in the

:17:01.:17:03.

country for eating disorders and seven MPs have now called on the

:17:04.:17:06.

government to reverse the downgrading of Newcastle. The real

:17:07.:17:11.

challenge with anorexia and eating disorders and what makes so many

:17:12.:17:15.

parents so worried is that ht does kill. And having the right care in

:17:16.:17:21.

your community, with your f`mily, able to go to school, that's got to

:17:22.:17:25.

be an important part of makhng sure young people survive these kinds of

:17:26.:17:31.

terrible afflictions. NHS England wouldn't be interviewed but say

:17:32.:17:34.

daycare is available in Newcastle and in the last year say less than a

:17:35.:17:38.

handful of patients have nedded to travel out of the region for

:17:39.:17:47.

inpatient care. If you or a member of your family

:17:48.:17:51.

are affected by an eating dhsorder you can more help and inforlation on

:17:52.:17:53.

the NHS Choices website. In mountaineering circles, he's a

:17:54.:18:03.

legend. You might never havd heard the name of Joe Tasker, but he was

:18:04.:18:07.

tipped to become as famous `s Chris Bonington. Joe, who grew up in the

:18:08.:18:12.

North East, died with his colleague Pete Boardman on Mount Everdst more

:18:13.:18:16.

than thirty years ago. Now, a substantial archive of Joe's papers,

:18:17.:18:19.

photos and writings are to go on public display for the first time.

:18:20.:18:22.

For tonight's Look North Report Gerry Jackson's been looking at the

:18:23.:18:28.

legacy of a remarkable man. These days they'd call him ` poster

:18:29.:18:34.

boy. Joe Tasker certainly p`cked a lot into a short life. His darly

:18:35.:18:39.

childhood was spent on Teesside and at the age of twelve he left to

:18:40.:18:43.

train for the priesthood in County Durham. But life took a different

:18:44.:18:48.

turn. It was here developed a passion for climbing ` one that

:18:49.:18:51.

would bring him and two colleagues a reputation as the best young

:18:52.:18:52.

mountaineers of their gener`tion. In 1980, Joe, with partners Pete

:18:53.:19:01.

Boardman and Dick Renshaw, survived an avalanche on the world's second

:19:02.:19:09.

highest peak, K2. Undeterred, two years later they joined an `ttempt

:19:10.:19:12.

led by Chris Bonington on an unclimbed ridge of Mount Evdrest.

:19:13.:19:19.

Boardman and Tasker disappe`red Joe's body has never been found

:19:20.:19:29.

Well, this, when I discoverdd it and look through, I think is his first

:19:30.:19:35.

piece... At 34, his legendary status was already assured. Still ` hero to

:19:36.:19:41.

climbers around the world, but not even his family realised thd size

:19:42.:19:47.

the archive he had left behhnd. He developed a persona being qtite on

:19:48.:19:50.

the outside but deep thinker, he started writing and his writing was

:19:51.:19:56.

quite prolific. But I have `ctually found and uncovered in going through

:19:57.:20:01.

notes and diaries, this all came out, and I started to realise that

:20:02.:20:09.

he was quite a person. Joe had a philosophy degree, he was an

:20:10.:20:13.

that climbing is more than just the idea of getting to the top of the

A lot crammed into a young life Now we have the sport. Speedway

:21:39.:21:49.

starting! The new speedway season roars into life this weekend, with

:21:50.:21:52.

Workington Comets and Newcastle Diamonds facing each other ` first

:21:53.:21:55.

in Cumbria, and then on Tyndside. But all four of the region's teams

:21:56.:21:59.

were on parade at the Newcastle Stadium yesterday, for a show of

:22:00.:22:01.

strength which was given Parliamentary approval.

:22:02.:22:14.

It's a bit of a Speedway ritual Every year, each team goes through

:22:15.:22:20.

its own pre`season Press and practice day, to shake off the

:22:21.:22:23.

winter cobwebs and show off their colours. But this time it w`s

:22:24.:22:26.

different. Joining Newcastld at the region's oldest track, were riders

:22:27.:22:29.

from Workington, Redcar and Berwick ` a united front, officiallx blessed

:22:30.:22:32.

by the sport's leader in thd House of Commons. I'm the chairman of the

:22:33.:22:39.

Parliamentary group of MPs who support Speedway, it's a bit of fun

:22:40.:22:44.

for us, but we want to give the sport as much support as we can I

:22:45.:22:49.

have been a fan of Speedway since I first came to Newcastle in 0974 I

:22:50.:22:56.

gave it a break for a bit then came back and watched the diamonds in the

:22:57.:23:01.

1980s. I think it is mostly exciting and the idea is to pull the four

:23:02.:23:07.

Northern clubs together and say Speedway is alive and well here

:23:08.:23:13.

It's the first year we have done it, hopefully we can do it again,

:23:14.:23:16.

because it's working well, `nything that raises the profile is great. As

:23:17.:23:22.

with any professional sport, attracting the crowd is what it s

:23:23.:23:28.

all about. When we get the Northern tracks coming up, and we get

:23:29.:23:34.

Newcastle, Edinburgh, working, you get better support because xou get

:23:35.:23:38.

travelling support. We have the kids in free with an adult, that has got

:23:39.:23:43.

to help. The crowd are tickhng along nicely. But which of our fotr clubs

:23:44.:23:51.

will be challenging for honours Workington are favourites, they are

:23:52.:23:54.

confident they are going to do that, but Speedway has a habit of

:23:55.:23:58.

throwing things up. With thd play`off system, we topped the

:23:59.:24:02.

league and didn't win the championship, anything can happen.

:24:03.:24:16.

England's women ended their six Nations Rugby Championship hn fine

` captained by Tynesider Sarah Hunter and which includes a number

:24:24.:24:27.

of players from our region ` scored four tries to win their fourth game

:24:28.:24:30.

of the championship, although France took the title after beating

:24:31.:24:33.

Ireland, so there's still work to do. We will look long and h`rd at it

:24:34.:24:41.

and see the areas we can improve on but for now, we will enjoy ht. You

have got to enjoy those momdnts Great try that was! Looked ` bit

:24:52.:24:59.

vicious! Now, how are we dohng about the weather?

:25:00.:25:05.

It is a bit cooler than last week, that trend continues. A lot of cloud

:25:06.:25:11.

around, and a lot of cloud `round overnight. Most places will be dry

:25:12.:25:18.

overnight, the temperatures won t drop because it stays prettx windy

:25:19.:25:28.

through the night. Tomorrow, very much of cloud around, a few breaks,

:25:29.:25:32.

and eastern areas will see the best of any brighter spells. Through the

:25:33.:25:38.

afternoon, it's thick enough to produce some patchy, light rain from

:25:39.:25:49.

time to time. Temperatures `re bit up on today but it will be windy,

:25:50.:25:53.

the south`westerly wind by the end of the afternoon will be stronger

:25:54.:25:59.

still than it was today. A blustery end to tomorrow. By Thursdax, I

weather front on the way. A cold front coming in from the west,

:26:04.:26:08.

bringing in cloud, rain and gusty winds, and behind it, things are

:26:09.:26:16.

turning a bit cooler. For Ctmbria, as we head towards the weekdnd,

:26:17.:26:21.

temperatures dip down into single figures, there will be a pew

:26:22.:26:24.

blustery showers around as we had through Friday and Saturday, and

:26:25.:26:31.

quite windy with it as well. For the North`East, a similar picture, the

:26:32.:26:33.

showers are fewer and furthdr between. Daytime temperaturds in

:26:34.:26:43.

single figures. By the weekdnd, I returned to overnight frost. Get the
