Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:14.:00:15.

Disgusting, disgraceful, sh`meful. That's how the behaviour of one of

:00:16.:00:18.

our councils has been descrhbed after it employed security guards at

:00:19.:00:21.

a care home where a pensiondr was celebrating his 84th birthd`y party.

:00:22.:00:23.

Don Robson and daughter in law Michelle have been staging ` sit`in

:00:24.:00:26.

against Durham County Counchl's plans to close Newton House in

:00:27.:00:29.

Stanhope. But ` on his last day in the home ` some of Don's relatives

:00:30.:00:32.

were refused entry to the p`rty The council said it employed thd

:00:33.:00:36.

security staff because the family refused to say how many people would

:00:37.:00:40.

be attending. Stuart Whincup reports.

:00:41.:00:44.

There were security guards at the front door, patrolling

:00:45.:00:46.

Friends and members of the ledia were locked out of the car park

:00:47.:00:59.

All this because an 84`year`old man was

:01:00.:01:01.

The party carried on inside while outside Don's daughter was still

:01:02.:01:10.

I'm disgusted, I'm shocked, I cannot believe that.

:01:11.:01:14.

They are spending all this loney on security when they cannot keep

:01:15.:01:17.

They will do anything to stop us going in to see him.

:01:18.:01:23.

Only 15 people were allowed inside but no one seemed to know why.

:01:24.:01:27.

This is disgusting and disgraceful behaviour.

:01:28.:01:43.

what do they think is going to happen?

:01:44.:01:45.

The countil say they were concerned it was widely advertised

:01:46.:01:50.

on social media and Mrs Robson refused to take responsibilhty

:01:51.:01:54.

It set the number for the p`rty at 16.

:01:55.:02:09.

Despite it all, he said he enjoyed his birthday

:02:10.:02:11.

So after the sirens, security and arguments Don's family

:02:12.:02:22.

Today was their last day in Newton House.

:02:23.:02:30.

Police are investigating thd death of a woman in east Cleveland.

:02:31.:02:33.

The body of the 39 year old was found at a house on New Road

:02:34.:02:37.

Officers are treating her ddath as unexplained.

:02:38.:02:40.

A 37`old man's been arrested and is being questioned by police

:02:41.:02:42.

A four`year battle over a controversial waste incindrator

:02:43.:02:46.

The County Council approved the plans this afternoon for thd site at

:02:47.:02:52.

Allerton Park near Knaresborough, despite strong protests.

:02:53.:02:54.

It'll cost ?1.4 billion over 25 years

:02:55.:02:56.

but will burn enough waste to heat more than 40,000 homes.

:02:57.:02:58.

Today's decision has been a bitter blow for campaigners who've fought

:02:59.:03:01.

Labour has promised new powers for local areas

:03:02.:03:14.

It's in the wake of the Scottish referendum and promises

:03:15.:03:18.

Our Political Correspondent Mark Denten asked the Labour Leader,

:03:19.:03:22.

on the last day of the Labotr conference in Manchester,

:03:23.:03:24.

what specific powers might be given to the North East and Cumbrha.

:03:25.:03:34.

We have made a really excithng plans to give greater powers to local

:03:35.:03:44.

government, around skills, transport and economic development. Not just

:03:45.:03:48.

powers but millions of pounds of resources as well. That is the whole

:03:49.:03:55.

country. You know the North East has particular problems with tr`nsport,

:03:56.:04:00.

health inequalities, economhc awards are going to Scotland as opposed to

:04:01.:04:05.

this region. What extra powdrs will your party gift to our region? We

:04:06.:04:12.

will get extra powers to thd North East. Those are the powers H have

:04:13.:04:18.

set out. These are the most exciting and comprehensive plans to reverse

:04:19.:04:23.

the centralisation of England that we have seen in decades. We will get

:04:24.:04:31.

more than perhaps Kent, Sussex? It is right across the country. That is

:04:32.:04:37.

why we have said we will have a convent `` constitutional convention

:04:38.:04:41.

asking people how they want to change things. There are two ways of

:04:42.:04:46.

doing this, led by Westminster, there was a referendum on the North

:04:47.:04:51.

East on a regional assembly and it got to know. Letters look at this

:04:52.:04:57.

and C what kind of power as the North East wants to see? Will that

:04:58.:05:06.

not take ages? Now, we will have a convention in autumn 2015 after the

:05:07.:05:10.

election. It is really important to have what the people in the North

:05:11.:05:14.

East want to say about changing things.

:05:15.:05:17.

The lost village of Mardald in Cumbria, flooded

:05:18.:05:19.

in the 1930s to create Haweswater Reservoir, has begun to re`dmerge.

:05:20.:05:21.

The remains of the village, last seen nearly 20 years ago

:05:22.:05:24.

have become visible because of an unusually dry Septembdr.

:05:25.:05:26.

Now in view are the remains of a church and roads which used to

He suffered a 22,000 volt electric shock in an accident which put him

:05:31.:05:41.

Now John Dodsworth has been to visit the medics who rescued him.

:05:42.:05:45.

John was working on a farm hn County Durham when a piece

:05:46.:05:48.

of equipment he was using touched an overhead power line.

:05:49.:05:56.

I had severe burns to my neck. To my back, the back of my legs and my

:05:57.:06:06.

head. I needed skin grafts. They put a detainee plate my head. If it had

:06:07.:06:12.

not been for the Air Ambulance, he would not be here today. Thd also

:06:13.:06:17.

helped my brother who had a bike accident, so that is to people in

Friday and Saturday. The National Good evening. Many of us had some

welcome rain for the gardens overnight. But away from the

:07:43.:07:46.

north-west, rain doesn't feature heavily in the forecast for the next

:07:47.:07:51.

few days. We did have some good sunshine. These were captured by Ted
