will keep an eye on that. That is all from us, I will | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Residents move back in two years on from a devastating flood | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
which led to a multi`million pound repair bill. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Campaigners bid to build a research centre to combat childhood | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
The stroke patients being nursed back to health by computer. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
Funding's secured for the first children's theatre outside London. | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
And in sport, we speak to Gateshead goal scoring legend Jon Shaw | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
And we meet Cumbria's star turn Nick Miller, who's going | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
It's two years since flash floods forced the dramatic evacuation of an | :00:46. | :01:03. | |
estate in Newcastle and, finally, the residents are moving back in. | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Spencer Court in Newburn became infamous after scenes like this, | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
a collapsed culvert led to a huge section of the development being | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Tonight, BBC Look North can reveal that Northumberland Estates, | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
which owned the culvert, is about to be sued for ?8 million. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Our Chief Reporter Chris Stewart has the story. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Derek bought this place nine years ago. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
All he is waiting for now is his boiler to be reconnected. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
This, he say,s is a wonderful place to live ` quiet, views over | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
But then again, it always was until the day that Derek and his | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
neighbours were told they had ten minutes to get out of their flats. | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
Two blocks of flats had to be sacrificed. | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
The culvert is now repaired, the ground is now restored, but what if | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
The day that brought devastating floods to Tyneside. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
I'm very happy with what they've done. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
I think it's one of the safest place going, now, | :02:20. | :02:33. | |
They say Northumberland Estates is to blame for what happened here | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
and they're off to court to get what they say they are owed. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
I was in London yesterday meeting with the insurers and their lawyers. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
The insurance company, to date, has spent just over ?4 million. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
The estimates we provided yesterday for the remaining work to be carried | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
The draft letter of claim that was emerging from yesterday's | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
This has already cost Northumberland Estates ?12 million | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
and the Duke of Northumberland is selling off artworks | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Nobody from the estate would be interviewed today. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
A spokesman said everyone was delighted residents are | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Newcastle's reputation as one of Europe's top centres | :03:26. | :03:40. | |
for childhood cancer research could be enhanced even further, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
The money will be spent on a new research centre | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
at Newcastle University, which will bring together | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
They'll be researching ways of reducing some of the severe | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Charlotte Lee has been a patient at at the Great North Children's | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
She survived a brain tumour as a child but still lives with | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
the severe side effects brought on by the treatment she underwent. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
The side effects for me, personally, are worse than the treatment. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
You don't expect to have ` well you expect to have a few `but I | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
think the best way I can explain it, though it is nowhere near the | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
same, but it's like having sight and totally losing it one day. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
I have no idea how to cope with that and six years later I still haven't | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Today has seen the launch of a new fundraising effort to | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
develop a centre for advanced childhood cancer research with | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
the emphasis on reducing the side`effects of survivors. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
?5.5 million will bring the top specialists together under one roof | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
We need more specific drugs that really kill the cancer cells | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Is that the problem at the moment, that the cancer is dealt with, | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
but because the treatment is so harsh, it has a lasting effect | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
One of the key problems is that when children are on treatment they | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
For Charlotte this new emphasis on post`cancer quality of life is | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
the most important development for children with cancer, eight | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
of ten of whom survive but face a lifetime of severe side`effects. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
It will make a huge difference, especially on children because they | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
It's hoped that over the next 12 months around 70 to 80% | :05:39. | :05:51. | |
of the money will be raised through individual wealthy donors, through | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
charities and through health costs and that the rest of the money will | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
A man from Middlesbrough, arrested in connection with | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
the murder of 19`year`old Rachel Wilson, has tonight been | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Rachel, who was a sex worker, was last seen alive in Middlesbrough | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers or | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
The government has turned down a bid for York to have a say in the burial | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
York lost a legal challenge to have the King buried in the city after | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
his bones were discovered beneath a car park in Leicester in 2012. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
York Central MP Hugh Bayley said he was promised a meeting on the issue, | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
but the Justice Minister Simon Hughes has turned him down. | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
Every year, more than 150,000 people in England have a stroke. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
It's the largest cause of adult disability in the UK. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
But now a new project on North Tyneside is aiming to involve | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
robots in helping stroke patients regain their movement. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
How was your leg when you first had your stroke? | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Like thousands of people have had a stroke Anne Hopwood is undergoing | :07:09. | :07:23. | |
She wants to regain the movement lost on the right side of the body | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
The repetitive exercises are designed to get the brain | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
and arm to communicate again after being damaged by the stroke. | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
Now robots like this one offer the chance of a revolution | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
In North Tyneside Hospital Tom Means is working with | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
Again, he's practising repetitive movements by trying to hit | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the dots on the screen, but the robot can accurately gauge | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
how much movement he has and how strong his arm is becoming, helping | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
The more you can do for yourself the more independent you can become | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
I've got to admit that some days it's harder than others. | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
This treatment along with ordinary physiotherapy | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Increasingly, the NHS is using robots to deliver food, | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
dispense drugs and even to carry out operations, but every year in | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
the UK 110,000 people have a stroke and 85% of them will be left with | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
This could mean they have problems dressing themselves, washing, | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
Robot assisted training means that all of the movements that stroke | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
patients make will be reported by computer and this offers | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
the advantage over traditional physiotherapy and occupational | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
therapy in that the clinicians and scientists can see what is going | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
on and with that improved information make better decisions. | :08:58. | :09:13. | |
The Arts Council has announced which projects it will be funding | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
Amongst the big winners were Sunderland's National Glass Centre, | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
A joint venture with the town's council has secured funding of more | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
than ?2 million for a purpose`built children's theatre, the first | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Theatre in Darlington is already thriving, with the town's Civic | :09:31. | :09:42. | |
Theatre this week staging five nights of Gilbert and Sullivan. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Today, though, plans were unveiled for a new theatre in the town, | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
one that will stage production's specifically for children. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
It will be one of only three in the country and the only | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
It's one of our jewels in the crown as far as Darlington is concerned. | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
But it very much caters to older audiences. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
By having Theatre Hullabaloo in the children's theatre next door, | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
we will be able to usher in a new generation of people passionate | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
about theatre in Darlington and across the north`east. | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
The new theatre will be built alongside Darlington Civic Theatre | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Work will start here at the beginning of next year with the | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
theatre hopefully staging its first performances for children in 2016. | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Today's announcement comes despite cuts by the Arts Council | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
of 36% and for those behind the project in Darlington it marks the | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
It constantly surprises me that some people don't go to the theatre | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
They are missing huge opportunities to share fantastic opportunities | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
We hope that Hullabaloo will provide those opportunities for children. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
By 2016 Darlington could be inspiring a new generation | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
of theatregoers with tailor`made productions attracting young people | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
The photographer who's shunned the digital world and embraced | :11:10. | :11:24. | |
The Cumbrian home from the US to compete in the Commonwealth Games. | :11:25. | :11:45. | |
Digital cameras have revolutionized photography, | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
These days it's so easy to reproduce and manipulate images. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
But a photographer from Tyneside is shunning all that. | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
He's using a Victorian camera and methods dating back 160 years | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
and, as you'll see, the results are quite remarkable. | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Jack Lowe's now planning to take a picture of all 236 lifeboat | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
Andrew Hartley has tonight's Look North report. | :12:08. | :12:22. | |
A professional photographer who has found a new focus in life. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
I wanted to tear myself away from computers and actually make | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
When visitors come to a beautiful spot like this they usually want to | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
capture what they see on a mobile device like this one. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
But Jack Lowe believes there is another way and, for him, | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
that means releasing himself from the digital world. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Jack is taking a long look at himself. | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
After working for years at the cutting edge of digital | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
photography and supplying high`end images around the globe, his future | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
This is a sensitised plate that has been soaking for a few minutes | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
It's making photographs as the Victorians used to do. | :13:14. | :13:28. | |
Making photographs on glass and on metal. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
And from sensitisation through to exposure and development needs to be | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
completed within a 10 or 15 minute window. | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Once exposed the image has to be developed. | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
Jack has the ideal place for that ` a converted NHS ambulance. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Beyond that initial striking beauty of a really beautiful place, the | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
thing that really draws me into this is this feeling of a time capsule, a | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
slice of time as if I have somehow trapped that moment ` literally | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
trapped that moment ` in that piece of glass. Jack's plan | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
is to get a shot from every lifeboat station in the UK, including this | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
When I look at the map of all those stations it's quite a daunting task, | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
but I can't think of a nicer way to work than to be by the sea recording | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
the view that the lifeboatmen see when they go out on a shout. | :14:31. | :14:40. | |
It will be a labour of love creating unique, delicate, | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
It's just 22 days until the start of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, | :14:45. | :15:00. | |
but in Cumbria the action's already started. | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
Hundreds of youngsters have been taking part | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
There were traditional sports as well as unusual ones. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
The Cumbria School Games aims to inspire youngsters | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
of all abilities to get involved in competitive sport at school. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Stephanie Cleasby reports from Carlisle. | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
If there was a gold medal for effort and enthusiasm these | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
In glorious sunshine, around 1,000 youngsters | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
from all over Cumbria were competing in nine different events | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
including traditional athletics and the more unusual sports like | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
There was something for all interests and abilities. | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
What School Games is all about is getting | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
as many young people to take part in competition right across England. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
You don't have to be the best at your sport. | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
It is about having a go, competing and doing the best you can. | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
And I found some real competitors in the Tri`Golf today. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
I have enjoyed that we are all taking part and everything. | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
What do you think about being at the school games? | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
It is really fun and good to be here. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
They have got a sense of achievement. | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
They are meeting other children from other areas and other schools. | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
I think, overall, a lot from the school event. | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
The sports minister, Helen Grant, who was brought up in Carlisle, | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
shared her passion for sport with the young athletes. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Sporting success at school, at county level and at national | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
The school games are all about increasing participation, | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
encouraging young people to stay active and love sport, | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
not just for today, but for the rest of their lives. | :17:02. | :17:16. | |
There'll be plenty of Cumbrian interest this month | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
in the Commonwealth Games athletics programme. | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
Carlisle's Lee Doran, Tom Farrell, and Nick Miller all won British | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
titles at the weekend in the javelin, 5,000 metres, | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Here's Farrell, who we featured on Look North last | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
week, winning the 5,000 with a gritty performance in Birmingham. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
Like Farrell, Miller has honed his talents | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
at college in Oklahoma, and he's brought the accent home with him. | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
Ahead of last month's first senior appearance in a GB vest | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
and his British title win at the weekend, hammer thrower | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
Nick Miller hadn't been back home in Cumbria for nearly a year. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
That's a long time in Oklahoma away from the family. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Plenty of time to pick up that accent. | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
Yes, I didn't think it was too bad. Everybody over there thinks I'm | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
English. It is to come back everyone thinks I'm American. He was given | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
the option of doing a four or five year course. If you did it over five | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
years he had more time to train. He's completed three years and has | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
two to go. From a sports`mad family, Nick, | :18:31. | :18:31. | |
who went to school in Brampton, switched from the javelin to | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
hammer`throwing after breaking Still only 21, his long`term goal | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
may be Rio in 2016 but Glasgow is I can't put it into words. It's | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
everything I have been training for. It'll be nice to have a big | :18:41. | :19:13. | |
supporting me. He is not only number one in Britain but also in the | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
common wealth. Athletics it's a difficult game and it is all on that | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
day. Fingers crossed, Commonwealth Day will be his day. | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
It's the start of pre`season training for most | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
And it's been a busy time for Gateshead boss Gary Mills, | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
who's in the process of rebuilding his squad after just | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
failing to make a historic return to the football league. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Just 44 days ago Gateshead endured the heartbreak of defeat | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
in the Conference play`off final at Wembley. | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
But with the sun shining and his new look squad back | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
in training, the manager has already put the pain behind him. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
It's only a few weeks ago. But that is a positive for me. There will be | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
no hangovers from what happened last season. I think we have proved we | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
can go and achieve. We shall start the season different to any other | :20:13. | :20:13. | |
football club. Mills has concentrated on experience | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
up front in the six new players he's brought in including | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
Michael Rankine, who he managed at York, and former Newcastle | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
and Carlisle striker Lewis Guy. But with 56 goals in 96 games | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
for the club it's the return of Gateshead hero Jon Shaw that | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
will please fans most. I know how good it went back here. I | :20:27. | :20:37. | |
will always have fond memories. I'm going to work as hard as I can. I | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
would love to go out there and score as many as I could. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
Except, perhaps, Gary Mills who's expecting more new | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
I keep smiling at the chairman. It's about getting a squad of players I | :20:48. | :20:57. | |
feel that can not only complete but can win the division. It's important | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
I bring in a couple more to help us do that. Noticed the beautiful blue | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
skies in those reports. Tomorrow, most of us will have fine | :21:11. | :21:32. | |
and dry weather. The breeze will start to increase later on to. | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
Most places will stay dry through the night. Not a lot of cloud | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
around. Temperatures dipping into single figures. Maybe seven or eight | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
Celsius tonight. Tomorrow then, I fine dry start. Those misty patches | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
will clear way berries `` very early. A thin veil of cloud will | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
come down from the north`west. It will take the edge of the sunshine | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
in the afternoon but not before the temperatures climb back into the | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
20s. Near that coast temperatures will | :22:18. | :22:29. | |
struggle a little. What you may notice later in the day is the | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
south`westerly wind beginning to increase. The reason for that wind | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
and cloud is the weather front sinking down from the North West | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
