Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Fresh calls for better warnhng signs on the River Tyne | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
15,000 children have their say on what it's really | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
And why this tiny new arriv`l has caused a bit of a headache | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
In sport, we'll look ahead to another big weekend of football | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
And as the basketball season prepares to tip`off tonight, we cast | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
First tonight, a Newcastle family are being | :00:36. | :00:56. | |
consoled by Police Welfare officers after their three year`old son | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
It happened yesterday evening at a house on Elswick Road, | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Police have described it as a tragic incident. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
They say toddler Callum Grednwood was playing in the garden | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
when it appears he tripped and fell into the pond. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
From early this morning, visitors laid flowers | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
at the garden gate of where this tragedy happened, the shock of it | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
It was very frightening and awful for us to witness what was | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
The police were called to this property after 7:00pm last night | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
A number of officers quicklx came down and started a search. | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
After just ten minutes, they found Callum in the pond. | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
He was taken very quickly to the RVI Hospital but they couldn't save him. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
His family are said to be absolutely devastated and are being consoled | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
They were a nice family but I've never thought something | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
Obviously they're absolutely devastated now. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Yeah, well, I just want to give all of them my | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Police say their enquiries will be continuing and a report will | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
Northumbrian Water says it wants to explore what more can be done to | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
prevent any further tragedids on the River Tyne | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
As we reported yesterday, a coroner is to write to the company `fter the | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
deaths of brothers Mark and Darren Thorpe and their cousin Gavhn | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Their families say warning signs should be improved. | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Peter Harris is live for us at Tyne Green in Hexham where the men | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Peter, what further developlents have there been today? | :03:04. | :03:15. | |
If yesterday was about the hnquest and about how these men met their | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
deaths, today we have been `sking what can be done to stop tr`gedies | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
like this in future. First of all, but they are from a family friend we | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
spoke to yesterday, who raised a particular issue. | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
If anything at all can come out of it, we would like to makd sure | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
nobody ends up in this position again and that signage is ilproved | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
for a much further distance back from the weir, and it convexs the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Better signage, because the coroner is writing to Northumbrian Water. | :03:48. | :04:03. | |
There is no blame, but it is simply to raise the question of wh`t can be | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
done. The company are receptive of that. They will look seriously at | :04:07. | :04:18. | |
the coroner was by letter. The questionnaires, with more shgns have | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
helped these men? Educating them? Of course, because these men went | :04:21. | :04:36. | |
reckless. They thought they had done the right thing but they were caught | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
out. It was a tragic mistake | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
in that they've presumably gone on to the river | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
when they certainly shouldn't be. They should have been | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
in closed kayaks. But even then with their experience, | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
they shouldn't have entered Would improved signage make | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
a distance? A sign saying 'Danger: Weir' would | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
definitely improve the situ`tion. The final word, then, on thhs | :05:10. | :05:29. | |
tragedy. Possibly improved signage in future and the need for better | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
education for kayakers and canoeists. This is a rising sport | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
and increasing pastime. This peaceful rubber can quickly become a | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
killer. A convicted arsonist, who sdt fire | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
to his neighbours' homes, h`s failed John Brown, who's 48, startdd fires | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
in seven houses in Keswick, including five which were occupied | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
and a number in his own strdet. He was jailed for life at C`rlisle | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Crown Court in February last year. He appealed to the Court of Appeal | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
to have his minimum nine`ye`r sentence reduced, but today | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
the court dismissed his appdal. Councillors | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
in York have approved proposals to The decision was made | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
at a meeting last night. There'll now be | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
a public consultation on the city's local plan, and ` final | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
decision will be made next xear Newcastle City Council's johned | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
forces with seven other loc`l authorities to demand | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
a meeting with the Prime Minister to Following the No vote | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
in last week's Scottish refdrendum, the councils have written to | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
William Hague, who's been charged with delivering devolution | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
and constitutional change. They've asked to meet him and | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
David Cameron stating they'll not accept 'delays' or 'half me`sures' | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
when it comes to giving mord powers Durham MP Kevan Jones has s`id | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Virgin Money boss Sir Richard Branson 'should hang his | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
head in shame' after the region s biggest charity, the Northern Rock | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
Foundation, announced it was to close | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
after donating ?220 million to good Sir Richard told the Foundation | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
in May to find ?3 million pdr year from local donors | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
for every ?1 million that Vhrgin would give to good causes btt that's | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
proved an impossible task. It comes at a really diffictlt time | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
for charities in the North Dast particularly with the loss | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
of public sector funding. The cuts that affected local | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
authorities and public sector bodies have had | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
a knock`on effect because they've been less able to support charities | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
and voluntary sector organisations. Looking forward, Virgin Mondy | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
announced they would be givhng 1 million to the charities in the | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
North East and I hope we can work with Virgin Money to make stre that | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
kind of commitment continues into Just recently we've seen yotng | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
people north of the border having their say in a big way, with 16` | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
and 17`year`olds getting a vote Well, even younger people are | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
getting a say in North Yorkshire. A new three`year plan called 'Young | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
and Yorkshire' has been launched. It aims to listen to the concerns | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
of primary and secondary school children on issues like education, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
bullying, road safety, even obesity. Up to 15,000 children | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
and young people across They wrote the foreword to the Young | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
and Yorkshire plan from their tiny school on the edge of | :08:21. | :08:32. | |
the North York Moors Nation`l Park. It seems | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
their voices have been heard. We, the children of North Yorkshire | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
would like you to make sure that we are healthy, sporty, happy, clean, | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
eco`friendly, inspired, clever, too cool for school, given our say, to | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
be heard, to be supported, to have a place in the crowd | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
and to be loved. As children, they have a refreshingly straightforward | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
approach to regional politics. I think it is good that young people | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
get a say as well as adults It is better than just | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
an adult's idea. At 16, Olivia has taken her | :09:10. | :09:22. | |
involvement in regional polhtics to the next level as part of the | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Youth Council of North Yorkshire. We have a lot more support | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
in schools through the three aims of this projdct, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
better schools, better support for families and healthier children | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
both physically and emotion`lly It's part of our culture th`t we | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
include children and young people, even to devise priorities that have | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
no realities for young people. So that is a huge consultathon | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
with young people. For Grace, to achieve her albitions, | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
she is wise enough to know she will need the support | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
of the people running her county. I'd like to be a vet becausd I | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
like caring for animals. I would probably stay in | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
North Yorkshire because it has a nice landscape | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
and lots of wildlife, good schools. I'd need quite a lot of help | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
but I'll get there. Plans for a 'mansion tax' won't work | :10:24. | :10:35. | |
in the North East, according to The Labour leader Ed Miliband has | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
unveiled plans to levy the tax on properties worth more th`n ? | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
million if he becomes He argues it'll raise more than | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
?1.5 billion for the NHS. According to estimates, there are | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
only around 200 properties hn the North East that might incur the | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
mansion tax but one critic says it wouldn't be a good way of r`ising | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
money for the health servicd. They've obviously costed it so they | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
think they can raise quite ` lot of money, but it's going to take some | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
time for that money to come through We're very much in favour | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
of having a temporary rise in income tax and then focusing | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
on where you can really savd money in the NHS, which is to abolish | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
the market system in the NHS. That could save up to | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
?5 billion per year. And Middlesbrough's Labour LP Andy | :11:24. | :11:26. | |

have used the Wheels 2 Work scheme. Scooters can be taken on lo`n | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
for ?20 a week. The aim is to help people who are | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
struggling to get to work or who may have turned down jobs | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
because they couldn't get there What it's doing is helping people | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
get into a job, stay in a job and make a real difference | :12:32. | :12:35. | |

I just love it. Jeff Brown joins me shortly for a | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
look ahead to the weekend's sport. Also coming up, | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the surprise new arrival at I'll be back shortly with a full | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
weather forecast. A tractor and trailer | :13:03. | :13:19. | |
as a hearse and a jazz band to accompany motrners | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
may not be the obvious choice for a funeral but it seems that more and | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
more people are looking at novel According to a new survey, | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
less than 25% of people in the North East would choose | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
a traditional church funeral and Each fire work is filled with | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
gunpowder and the ashes a Txneside woman who wanted to go out with | :13:39. | :14:01. | |
a bang. The man responsible | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
for the event is Carl Marlow, He says more and more peopld are | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
opting for wicker and cardboard An alternative funeral is jtst | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
reflecting the individual, depending You don't have to spend | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
a lot to have a good funeral, it's So have we turned our backs on | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
the traditional church funeral with According to a survey by thd | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
Co`operative funeral care, 33% would like a humanist or non religious | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
ceremony whereas only 22% of people in the North East want a tr`ditional | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
church service for their send`off. The rest were either undecided | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
or hadn't thought about it. We are celebrating the life that is | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
gone rather than thinking, `s some people do and as we did long ago, of | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
their future destiny and whdre we I'm waiting | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
for a recycling binbag my hdight! You need to be put | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
in a proper coffin, otherwise it's I don't want it to have to | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
be expensive for the family. I've told them | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
a cardboard coffin will do le fine. More and more it seems we'rd | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
choosing to link our life style with death style, selecting a send | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
off that reflects our personality. They're in the process of moving | :15:34. | :15:46. | |
around 1700 animals from a Cumbrian rescue centre but staff havd been | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
held up by a surprise discovery ` The sanctuary at Wetheriggs | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
near Penrith is relocating to But | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
the tiny new arrival means there'll have to be some re`organisation | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
as Mark McAlindon reports. They say never work with chhldren or | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
animals and this tiny baby leerkat has certainly caused Easter here `` | :16:19. | :16:35. | |
a stir. We discover they had had a single baby so we had to put it off | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
for a couple of weeks. It's such a cute little thing. Meerkats are | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
great. Hundreds of animals `re still to make the move to the new home but | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
now the meerkat community whll have to be among the last. They seem to | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
be getting used to the new fame The new arrival has become a media | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
sensation but what is truly remarkable is the behaviour of the | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
mum. She keeps picking the baby up and putting it down for the best | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
possible view. They work hard to raise babies, which is the focal | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
point of any group of meerk`ts. That is all of their jobs. They don't | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
make good pets. That is how we've ended up with a lot of them. The | :17:26. | :17:40. | |
only thing missing now is a name. Surely coming up with something | :17:41. | :17:41. | |
should be simples! We'll kick off with the | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
Premier League. Newcastle will still be bottom of | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
the table after the weekend as they And like the Magpies, | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
Sunderland are still looking But it'll be tough | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
against a high flying Swansda side. It's been a frustrating start to | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
the season for the Sunderland boss. His team could have won | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
the majority of the five le`gue Instead, he's witnessed four draws | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
and a defeat which have left the Black Cats in the bottom fotr but | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Gus Poyet isn't too concerndd yet. Is if we were losing begins badly, | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
then it would be worrying and we would be searching for changes. I | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
think we're very close. We have one chance. I don't think it's time to | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
worry. And with Swansea just outside the | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
top four, the Black Cats will be An impressive performance from | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Will Buckley last week means he s likely to play tomorrow and Poyet | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
says he won't hesitate to drop players who aren't performing no | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
matter who they are. They definitely need to raise their | :18:54. | :19:05. | |
game. I do not care what thdir name is or what age they are. I just kill | :19:06. | :19:20. | |
about the team. `` care abott the team. You need to be the best. | :19:21. | :19:31. | |
The most in`form of our six leading clubs is Middlesbrough, | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
fifth in the Championship and a whisker away from knocking Liverpool | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
out of the League Cup after that amazing penalty shoot`out. | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
But the Boro boss has a sobering message for fans | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
Middlesbrough may have lost at Anfield but he was brimming with | :19:45. | :20:01. | |
trade afterwords. But after three straight wins, everyone is `lready | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
talking as a promotion is a given. Now we have to keep our feet on the | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
ground. Everybody is enjoying it and I am the first one to do so, but I | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
had to repeat to everybody that the game was amazing for the melories | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
and the future, but now we have to go in tomorrow. Tomorrow's game at | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
Charlton, it might be less glamorous but not any easier. I'm surd it will | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
be a more difficult game th`n Liverpool. It is a team which is | :20:44. | :20:56. | |
unbeaten in seven or eight games. They are doing very well. Hd might | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
make a few changes after assessing tired limbs at a training sdssion at | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
lunch time. Carisle take on Tranmere at | :21:05. | :21:05. | |
Brunton Park tomorrow, when new manager Keith Curle will begin | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
the task of lifting the Cumbrians He didn't pick the team at Lansfield | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
last week, but gave a half`time pep talk which almost saw United sneak | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
a point, after being 3`0 down. In their position, Carlisle will | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
need that sort of fighting spirit. As a player, I would say yes. I m a | :21:20. | :21:37. | |
confident person. I believe in my philosophy and how we want the game | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
played. Have I got an error of aggression? Yes. I don't good tool | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
to talk with people I don't need to, but I will stand my ground when I | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
need to. Even a win won't lift Carlisle | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
from the foot of League Two, because they're four points behind | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
second`bottom Hartlepool, who are at home to Portsmouth, having taken | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
