Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: Care

:00:00.:00:00.

workers admit abusing elderly residents at a Cumbrian care home.

:00:07.:00:10.

Their employer calls their actions "deplorable."

:00:11.:00:14.

Playing with their lives on the line.

:00:15.:00:16.

A new rail safety campaign aims to prevent these shocking incidents.

:00:17.:00:21.

Test drive on the Tees. An ambitious scheme to run water taxis up and

:00:22.:00:25.

down the river. And it's decision time. An

:00:26.:00:28.

award`winning photographer chooses the winner of April's weather

:00:29.:00:31.

picture competition. In sport, we meet the former England

:00:32.:00:35.

captain counting down the days to next year's Rugby Union World Cup.

:00:36.:00:38.

And can Sunderland find the point they need to stay in the Premier

:00:39.:00:42.

League? Who better to ask than the fans who've spent a lifetime

:00:43.:00:43.

following the red and whites? Deplorable. That's how the behaviour

:00:44.:01:04.

of three carers who abused residents at a Cumbrian nursing home has been

:01:05.:01:07.

described by their former employers. 23`year`old Chevonne Benson and

:01:08.:01:09.

22`year`old William Bowman from Penrith pleaded guilty to a total of

:01:10.:01:15.

16 charges this morning. Both worked at the Beacon Edge specialist

:01:16.:01:19.

nursing home in Penrith. A third person has already admitted three

:01:20.:01:23.

charges. Our reporter Alison Freeman was at Carlisle Crown Court for us

:01:24.:01:27.

today. Alison, can you tell us what the pair admitted doing?

:01:28.:01:36.

The charges all related to offences that took place at the nursing home

:01:37.:01:41.

last year. The home specialises in dementia care and the defendants

:01:42.:01:44.

were meant to be looking after some of the most vulnerable members of

:01:45.:01:50.

society. There were 16 charges in total. William Bowman admitted a

:01:51.:01:53.

charges which included verbally abusing those in his care,

:01:54.:01:58.

assaulting them, pulling their hair and allowing humiliating photographs

:01:59.:02:02.

to be taken. 23`year`old Chevonne Benson admitted ten charges, again,

:02:03.:02:08.

they included assault and verbal abuse. Calling one man a cabbage and

:02:09.:02:11.

telling another she would be evicted because her rent wasn't paid. The

:02:12.:02:16.

admitted two charges together, one in which they turned off the light

:02:17.:02:22.

of a resident in a `` of a resident's room to frighten her. The

:02:23.:02:29.

oldest of the victims was 96 years old. What are Bupa, who run the care

:02:30.:02:36.

home, saying? In a statement, they said everyone was deeply shocked by

:02:37.:02:39.

the behaviour. They hadn't they could not understand how young

:02:40.:02:43.

people planning a career in care and nursing could behave in this world.

:02:44.:02:47.

They said other carers at the nursing home had reported the abuse

:02:48.:02:51.

so that action could be taken. They apologise to both residents, and

:02:52.:02:57.

their families, saying they are grateful to the police and social

:02:58.:03:00.

services which meant that two people would never get to work with

:03:01.:03:03.

vulnerable people again. What happens next? A third person Claire

:03:04.:03:11.

Strong had already admitted three charges, she along with the other

:03:12.:03:16.

two defendants will be sentenced at the end of October.

:03:17.:03:27.

A York man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for rape and

:03:28.:03:36.

kidnap. Mark Anthony Thompson, aged 37, was found guilty at Teesside

:03:37.:03:40.

Crown Court of three counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault and one

:03:41.:03:43.

count of kidnapping. The charges relate to attacks on three different

:03:44.:03:47.

woman. Thompson must serve at least 11 and a half years in prison before

:03:48.:03:50.

being eligible for parole. Now it might seem obvious to us, but

:03:51.:03:55.

doing this is not advisable. But because people haven't got the

:03:56.:03:59.

message and do put their lives at risk, life`saving lessons are being

:04:00.:04:01.

given to children to promote awareness around trains. East Coast

:04:02.:04:06.

has launched the new pilot safety scheme and pupils from Poppleton

:04:07.:04:09.

Road Primary school spent a day at York station, as Cathy Killick

:04:10.:04:14.

reports. It's nail`biting enough simply to

:04:15.:04:17.

watch, yet thousands of people routinely risk their lives on train

:04:18.:04:22.

tracks. These passengers lived, the latest annual figures record more

:04:23.:04:29.

than 40 people that did not. `` trespassers. They were fatalities

:04:30.:04:33.

that were entirely unnecessary. In the time you have been watching this

:04:34.:04:36.

report, about 14 seconds, a train travelling at full speed can travel

:04:37.:04:41.

half a mile. That makes the tracks an obviously dangerous place to be.

:04:42.:04:48.

That's why East Coast are piloting a safety programme for children. These

:04:49.:04:51.

nine`year`olds are among the first students and have come to York

:04:52.:04:57.

station for a lesson in rail safety. It's good to start with the children

:04:58.:05:01.

at a younger age so they can understand how dangerous the railway

:05:02.:05:05.

is. It is not a playground. There are quite a few dangerous risks `

:05:06.:05:09.

trains pass through the station at 30 to 40mph. Getting into the

:05:10.:05:15.

driver's seat is a thrill for the children. But will it be a lesson to

:05:16.:05:24.

remember, too? I asked them what they learned. You're not allowed to

:05:25.:05:28.

go too close to the track. Just in case you fall in and because the

:05:29.:05:32.

barrier is quite high, you might not be able to get out and you may be

:05:33.:05:37.

run over by a train. If you see a yellow line next to the train track,

:05:38.:05:46.

don't cross it. Don't be silly when you are near the side. If the pilot

:05:47.:05:54.

is successful, more children will follow ` spreading the safety lesson

:05:55.:05:56.

and hopefully saving lives. Five Middlesbrough councillors who

:05:57.:06:08.

were deselected as Labour candidates for the 2015 local election have

:06:09.:06:11.

resigned from the party. The five men were deselected in March from a

:06:12.:06:17.

list of approved candidates. They appealed against the decision, but

:06:18.:06:20.

were unsuccessful. Two of the councillors say they have lost faith

:06:21.:06:23.

in the party's local leadership, and will stand as independents at next

:06:24.:06:26.

year's local elections. The Labour party in Middlesbrough now has a

:06:27.:06:30.

majority of just one in the overall number of elected members. `` Labour

:06:31.:06:38.

Party. Now, it brings the whole of Europe

:06:39.:06:42.

together in song. Curious costumes, sometimes dodgy lyrics and frequent

:06:43.:06:44.

accusations of "political" voting ` Eurovision's just a few days away.

:06:45.:06:47.

But another contest's taking place this month closer to home. As our

:06:48.:06:50.

Political Correspondent Mark Denten reports, there'll be less singing,

:06:51.:06:53.

maybe fewer tears and more suits than sequins, but once again your

:06:54.:06:55.

vote counts. It only happens once a year, but the

:06:56.:07:02.

waiting's over. It's time to share the moment, to wave your colours, to

:07:03.:07:07.

show your support. When May comes round, it can only mean one thing.

:07:08.:07:18.

It is local election time. When you just cannot get those policies out

:07:19.:07:27.

of your head. The parties are offering a different policy tunes.

:07:28.:07:29.

Labour controls seven of the councils up for election, including

:07:30.:07:32.

Newcastle, Gateshead and South Tyneside. The party says people

:07:33.:07:35.

should use their vote to protest against local government cuts. There

:07:36.:07:44.

is no recovery in household finances. Many people are worse off

:07:45.:07:47.

than when the Government was elected. And secondly councils and

:07:48.:07:54.

indeed the whole of the North East and Cumbria has taken a battering

:07:55.:07:57.

from this Government. Fiddlers on record players, costumes that turn

:07:58.:08:01.

into wings ` just a couple of things I couldn't find in the manifestos,

:08:02.:08:04.

so what of the other parties? The Liberal Democrats control South

:08:05.:08:07.

Lakeland Council, but they're the official opposition in Newcastle.

:08:08.:08:09.

They say the party gives voters value for money. We are defending 18

:08:10.:08:17.

seats in the region this time. We are optimistic of holding all of

:08:18.:08:22.

them and making some further gains. Our message is that this is a local

:08:23.:08:26.

Government election and we are very strong on the ground. We have some

:08:27.:08:29.

brilliant councillors. But could the curiously enthusiastic judges be

:08:30.:08:31.

announcing successes for another party? The Conservatives control

:08:32.:08:34.

Harrogate Council, but are targeting Carlisle, where Labour has a

:08:35.:08:38.

nine`seat advantage. The party says Labour's taken voters for granted.

:08:39.:08:46.

We have had the same old councillors representing the same areas for

:08:47.:08:49.

decades and it really is time for change in the North East. I am

:08:50.:08:53.

hoping that people will go to the polls, look at the good news we have

:08:54.:08:57.

on the economy, particularly in the Northeast with manufacturing, and

:08:58.:09:00.

vote Conservative. So across the region over 800 candidates are

:09:01.:09:03.

waiting for your vote and no`one wants null point. There'll be

:09:04.:09:06.

nerves, there'll be drama, because it's time for making your mind up.

:09:07.:09:12.

You can find out where local elections are taking place in our

:09:13.:09:16.

region on the BBC politics website. And we'll be bringing you more from

:09:17.:09:20.

the parties ahead of the vote on May 22nd.

:09:21.:09:24.

Plenty more to come in tonight's programme. Including the fans' view

:09:25.:09:26.

on Sunderland's roller`coaster season.

:09:27.:09:30.

Could these be a regular sight on the Tees this summer? We join the

:09:31.:09:38.

water taxis on their test drive. I will be here with a full weather

:09:39.:09:41.

forecast as well as revealing this month's winning weather picture.

:09:42.:09:49.

Today has been important in the campaign to bring passenger rail

:09:50.:09:52.

services back to part of Northumberland. The Ashington to

:09:53.:09:55.

Newcastle link closed to all but freight trains 50 years ago. But the

:09:56.:09:59.

people that run the country's rail network have spent the day looking

:10:00.:10:02.

at just how the train service could be brought back to life. Our

:10:03.:10:07.

Political Editor Richard Moss caught up with them. There's tracks and

:10:08.:10:11.

there's trains, but if you want to travel by rail from Ashington to

:10:12.:10:15.

Newcastle, forget it. No passenger services have run here for 50 years.

:10:16.:10:25.

It may be covered with weeds and rubbish, but these other platforms

:10:26.:10:30.

that were last used 50 years ago. `` these are. It is hoping that

:10:31.:10:34.

passengers can catch trains here once again. And that's why these men

:10:35.:10:44.

are gathered in this car park. They've come to look at what work

:10:45.:10:47.

might be needed to get passengers back onto platforms and onto the

:10:48.:10:50.

rail line by 2018. The estimated cost is thought to be ?60 million,

:10:51.:10:54.

but by looking at what's physically left, they'll get a better idea. It

:10:55.:10:58.

will require a lot of detailed engineering and assessments. It

:10:59.:11:00.

gives us a sense of whether or not the infrastructure can be used. That

:11:01.:11:03.

is one of the beauties of the product, the rail is still in

:11:04.:11:11.

existence. This is the route the line could cover ` connecting

:11:12.:11:14.

communities that currently rely on cars and buses to both the Tyne and

:11:15.:11:18.

Wear metro and the centre of Newcastle. One of the managers of

:11:19.:11:21.

Britain's rail network is also here taking a look. He's supportive, but

:11:22.:11:25.

admits there's still work to do. I think what we can do is say how much

:11:26.:11:28.

will it cost and how long will it take? Then we can work with the

:11:29.:11:32.

County Council and local stakeholders to say, can we find the

:11:33.:11:36.

money to actually do the capital costs? And can we work with the

:11:37.:11:42.

train operating company to run the services? So a bit too early to book

:11:43.:11:46.

tickets yet. But there is real optimism that a passenger line for

:11:47.:11:49.

South East Northumberland could soon become more than just a conversation

:11:50.:11:53.

in a car park or a memory from the past.

:11:54.:11:59.

It's a bold, ambitious plan that it's claimed will showcase one of

:12:00.:12:02.

Stockton's hidden jewels. A Teesside businessman is looking to run river

:12:03.:12:06.

taxis along the Tees. The boats will travel through Yarm, Stockton and go

:12:07.:12:10.

up to the Tees Barrage. It's hoped the service will be up and running

:12:11.:12:14.

this summer. Our reporter Stuart Whincup went on board as the taxis

:12:15.:12:17.

were taken on their first test drive. Bathed in the spring

:12:18.:12:23.

sunshine, the river taxis are bold, bright and hard to miss. There is a

:12:24.:12:30.

lot of interest, I think it is the jewel of Stockton. Gliding along the

:12:31.:12:33.

Tees, the service promises to showcase the best of Stockton's

:12:34.:12:36.

riverside. It's all the idea of this man ` Lindsay Eccles. We have such a

:12:37.:12:42.

beautiful area here that people need to come and see. He already owns the

:12:43.:12:45.

Teesside Princess and the slightly larger replica of The Endeavour. The

:12:46.:12:51.

river taxis he says will be the perfect addition and help encourage

:12:52.:12:57.

more people to explore the river. Where else can you do this? You come

:12:58.:13:03.

onto the river, the wildlife, it's quiet, the scenery, it is a superb

:13:04.:13:08.

facility. If we just look at it now, a glorious day, we have 80

:13:09.:13:11.

swans in front of us. Dutiful surroundings. `` beautiful

:13:12.:13:19.

surroundings. This is all part of Stockton's masterplan. With work

:13:20.:13:22.

well underway on the ?38 million transformation of the High Street.

:13:23.:13:25.

There's also plans to develop the riverside, organising more events

:13:26.:13:28.

and activities around it. Initially, two taxis will run from the Tees

:13:29.:13:31.

Barrage to Stockton, Preston Park and Yarm. The idea is to get more

:13:32.:13:42.

boats and increase the speed limit from five miles per hour to 15 or 20

:13:43.:13:49.

mph. Then they can run services on a morning and evening, taking people

:13:50.:13:52.

to and from work. It's hoped the first taxis will be running along

:13:53.:13:56.

the river this June. And if the service is success, these bright

:13:57.:13:59.

yellow boats could become a regular feature on the Tees. That would be a

:14:00.:14:11.

nice, relaxing way to get to and from work. But relaxing is far from

:14:12.:14:16.

Sunderland supporters' minds. Sunderland take on West Bromwich

:14:17.:14:19.

Albion tomorrow night, knowing just a point should be enough to secure

:14:20.:14:22.

their Premier League place. Having beaten Manchester United at Old

:14:23.:14:26.

Trafford for the first time in 46 years, it's not surprising the

:14:27.:14:29.

Stadium of Light was buzzing today as a group of loyal fans staged

:14:30.:14:32.

their regular monthly meeting. Most Black Cat fans will think

:14:33.:14:36.

they've seen it all before ` the disappointments, the upsets and the

:14:37.:14:38.

occasional moments of sheer delight like Seb Larsson's winner at the

:14:39.:14:44.

weekend. But the members of the club's Senior Supporters'

:14:45.:14:46.

Association speak from long experience. It has been up and

:14:47.:14:55.

down, I have not been watching since wartime football, 1942 was my first

:14:56.:15:03.

match. `` I have been. I think we would have been safe for Wembley

:15:04.:15:08.

some time ago. It was it worth it? I don't think so. I am a top division

:15:09.:15:16.

man myself. Don't like is being down in the second and worse still in the

:15:17.:15:19.

third. But having been favourites for the drop not so long ago, it now

:15:20.:15:23.

looks as if head coach Gus Poyet has indeed performed a miracle. Not that

:15:24.:15:28.

they're taking anything for granted! One point out of those two games, I

:15:29.:15:37.

am hopeful. Cannot be too confident, because of previous experience this

:15:38.:15:41.

season with various games, but we are hopeful. And Poyet is hopeful

:15:42.:15:46.

he's heard the last of the Ji affair. Reports had suggested their

:15:47.:15:48.

relegation rivals might mount a legal challenge, asking for a points

:15:49.:15:52.

deduction, because, for a time, the Korean didn't have international

:15:53.:15:56.

clearance. The Uruguayan is taking it all in his stride.

:15:57.:16:04.

From my point of view, I am very relaxed.

:16:05.:16:10.

Carlisle United fans have spent the Bank Holiday weekend reflecting on

:16:11.:16:13.

the club's relegation to League Two and the words of Blues' chairman,

:16:14.:16:16.

Andrew Jenkins. He's apologised to supporters for what he admits has

:16:17.:16:20.

been a "disastrous" season on the pitch. Mr Jenkins said a combination

:16:21.:16:22.

of budgetary constraints, ill`timed injuries and suspensions, and mixed

:16:23.:16:25.

success in the loans market had played a big part in Carlisle's

:16:26.:16:29.

decline. As the directors seek a solution, fans will just be pleased

:16:30.:16:32.

to see the back of a season, which ended in relegation being confirmed

:16:33.:16:41.

by a 3`0 defeat at champions Wolves. Gateshead chairman Graham Wood is

:16:42.:16:44.

hoping that around 15,000 fans will follow them down to Wembley for

:16:45.:16:46.

their conference playoff final against Cambridge United. There was

:16:47.:16:49.

jubilation at Gateshead International Stadium on Sunday as

:16:50.:16:52.

Gary Mills' side beat Grimsby 3`1 in the second leg of the playoff

:16:53.:16:55.

semifinal in front of 8,000 supporters to reach Wembley for the

:16:56.:16:58.

first time in their history. Victory would see them back in the Football

:16:59.:17:02.

League for the first time in 54 years.

:17:03.:17:05.

Around 9,000 fans turned out to support former Sunderland footballer

:17:06.:17:07.

Jody Craddock's testimonial match at Molineux ` the home of his final

:17:08.:17:11.

club Wolverhampton Wanderers. But typically Craddock, a popular figure

:17:12.:17:14.

in the north east and the West Midlands was more interested in

:17:15.:17:17.

giving back to a cause close to his heart. He's raising money for

:17:18.:17:20.

Birmingham Children's Hospital's cancer unit after his young son Toby

:17:21.:17:31.

received treatment for leukaemia. There will always be the hospital

:17:32.:17:35.

and for me to be able to raise some money and help them out, as they

:17:36.:17:39.

have helped us out a hell of a lot, to give back a little is great.

:17:40.:17:44.

It was a good weekend for some of our rugby union followers. Newcastle

:17:45.:17:47.

Falcons secured their place in next season's Premiership, and the

:17:48.:17:49.

youngsters from Northumberland brought the under`20s national

:17:50.:17:52.

championship home from Twickenham, beating Yorkshire by 39 points to

:17:53.:17:55.

ten in the final. And today, an old England hero was in the region,

:17:56.:17:59.

counting down the days to next year's World Cup.

:18:00.:18:01.

It's a scene Newcastle rugby fans won't forget. Lawrence Dallaglio and

:18:02.:18:04.

their own cup winner, Jonny Wilkinson, parading the World Cup

:18:05.:18:09.

around Kingston Park. Today, Dallaglio was back on Tyneside to

:18:10.:18:12.

mark another milestone in the countdown to next year's

:18:13.:18:21.

competition. 2003 feels like a long time ago, but the impact it had on

:18:22.:18:27.

everyone involved on the whole, great to feel proud as a nation, and

:18:28.:18:31.

as you say coming back with a trophy and beer to share that with the

:18:32.:18:36.

people, I remember that they fondly. `` and be able to. Today is about

:18:37.:18:42.

continuing that celebration, because England will in 500 days' time

:18:43.:18:46.

welcome the world to England and welcome the world to Newcastle, as

:18:47.:18:50.

well. Among the teams appearing at St James' will be South Africa and

:18:51.:18:53.

the New Zealand All Blacks, but tickets aren't cheap ` adult prices

:18:54.:18:57.

ranging from ?50 to ?175. And if you can afford a ticket, they go on

:18:58.:19:02.

public sale from September the 12th. ?15 for children. We are working to

:19:03.:19:08.

make sure that people who don't get in to see the games here are also

:19:09.:19:13.

able to see them around the city on big screens, because we want people

:19:14.:19:17.

to really enjoy the party atmosphere.

:19:18.:19:24.

Kumar Sangakkara's two`match stint for Durham got off to the worst

:19:25.:19:29.

possible start as the top Sri Lankan batsman was out for a second ball

:19:30.:19:32.

writer and photographer. I am writing magazine articles,

:20:33.:20:34.

guidebooks, mostly about the Cumbrian Fels. I am out with my

:20:35.:20:40.

camera a lot of the time, normally waiting for good weather, but

:20:41.:20:44.

sometimes it can be more moody to go out on an overcast day with the

:20:45.:20:47.

cloud cover and the showers coming and going ` more drama in the sky.

:20:48.:20:55.

Vivienne is kept pretty busy, but I did manage to get her indoors

:20:56.:20:59.

briefly to cast a critical eye over the pictures of your April weather

:21:00.:21:00.

shots. The month had been dry, on the

:21:01.:21:11.

whole, so April showers are few and far between. Bright skies were in

:21:12.:21:19.

abundance. Vivian narrowed it down to a final three which included a

:21:20.:21:23.

couple of sunsets and surprisingly not a single Lake District shot. A

:21:24.:21:27.

lot of photographers clearly know what they are doing these days. All

:21:28.:21:31.

these people with cameras or phones or whatever ` they seem to know what

:21:32.:21:34.

they are looking for. The runners`up were Stuart Goodman from

:21:35.:21:37.

Weatherall, and his picture was sunset over the Solway Firth. You

:21:38.:21:41.

can see the sun, the colours are lovely and rich and again it is very

:21:42.:21:48.

evocative of the time of year. The other runner was from Cumbria, and

:21:49.:21:51.

his picture was a little bit different to the usual landscape

:21:52.:21:54.

shots, it was a picture of Redcar blast furnace, but the combination

:21:55.:21:58.

of the sun and the smoke from the furnace, it just has a lot of

:21:59.:22:06.

atmosphere. And coincidentally the winning shot was taken just along

:22:07.:22:10.

the road. The winner was James Stoker and his picture was of the

:22:11.:22:13.

beach as taken from Redcar, looking down the beach towards Hartlepool.

:22:14.:22:18.

The composition is perfect. Basically, you look at it and think,

:22:19.:22:26.

although it is a grim day, you think you want to be there and walking

:22:27.:22:30.

along the beach. It is a typical April scene, you have the threat of

:22:31.:22:34.

showers, although we have not had so many showers, but there is the

:22:35.:22:37.

threat. Congratulations to James for that picture. It is a really good

:22:38.:22:39.

picture. Well done to James and to all of our

:22:40.:22:59.

photographers. Thank you. That winning picture will become part of

The next few days, outbreaks of rain across the region, particularly in

into the West, widespread free time, it'll splash South and East. Most

places are dry, with temperatures no lower than seven or eight at dawn.

:23:34.:23:40.

Reasonably mild tomorrow, and we are looking forward to a bit of early

sunshine. In Cumbria, it starts to cloud over through the morning with

further outbreaks of rain splashing in from the West. It becomes

:24:48.:24:53.

pressure system threatens to bring further rainfall, particularly in

:24:54.:24:57.

this time for the North East. What will that mean for the detail? Let's

:24:58.:25:04.

take a look around Cumbria. Thursday is gloomy and greed. Reasonably

:25:05.:25:12.

mild. No sunshine for many. `` grey. We do get blue skies on

:25:13.:25:18.

Thursday, but blustery showers behind the main band of rain. In the

Heavy rain, particularly further North, really hammering down and on
