Hello and welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight:

:00:00.:00:00.

Bitten by a venomous spider ` how this woman had to have a finger

:00:00.:00:09.

amputated after being attacked by a false widow.

:00:10.:00:17.

The pain was something I have never been through in my life. By the time

:00:18.:00:24.

I got to hospital, the fingdr was burst open. They told us if I had

:00:25.:00:28.

been two hours later I would have been dead.

:00:29.:00:29.

Stay safe when you're out on the town. The message to thousands of

:00:30.:00:32.

university students after a series of deaths in the North's rivers

:00:33.:00:36.

Dealing with our nuclear waste stockpile ` can we learn anxthing

:00:37.:00:38.

from the American experiencd? A special report coming up.

:00:39.:00:42.

Newcastle are still winless and head to Stoke with even the owner jesting

:00:43.:00:46.

And an instant impact for Ctrle as Carlisle pick up their first win of

:00:47.:00:52.

Doctors told her she was just two hours from death. Andrea Wallace

:00:53.:01:10.

from Seaham in County Durhal was bitten by a spider ` and it was an

:01:11.:01:14.

attack that left her with a flesh eating bug. Andrea says it was like

:01:15.:01:17.

living through a horror movhe as the poison ran through her veins. The

:01:18.:01:20.

44`year`old had to have one of her fingers amputated and after ten

:01:21.:01:23.

weeks of treatment, she's now been discharged from hospital.

:01:24.:01:25.

Andrea had been playing with her children when she was bitten on her

:01:26.:01:36.

finger. At first she thought it was a midge bite. But the pain became

:01:37.:01:40.

unbearable. She'd been bittdn by one of these ` a false widow spider,

:01:41.:01:43.

which was carrying a flesh dating bug. Doctors told Andrea shd was

:01:44.:01:46.

The pain with something likd I have never been through in my life. By

:01:47.:02:01.

the time I got to hospital, my finger was burst open. The pass was

:02:02.:02:08.

changing colour. It was horrendous. I also had a red mark at me an pet

:02:09.:02:15.

by the time I got to hospit`l. They said if I had been two hours later,

:02:16.:02:20.

I'd have been dead. Within `n hour of arriving at hospital, shd was

:02:21.:02:24.

rushed into surgery as doctors try to stop the poison spreading from

:02:25.:02:29.

her hand up her arm. She spdnt ten weeks in hospital and underwent 14

:02:30.:02:35.

separate operations before doctors said they could not save her finger.

:02:36.:02:39.

Despite her injuries, experts say the false widow is not conshdered

:02:40.:02:44.

dangerous. Experts stress hdr problems were caused not by the bait

:02:45.:02:49.

by the flesh eating bug it passed on. The bite it gives is mahnly

:02:50.:02:56.

defensive. There is a greatdr chance of dying of a wasp or be sedn. But

:02:57.:03:01.

it is very uncomfortable and the swelling can get to the sizd of a

:03:02.:03:06.

tennis ball. Andrea is the hairdresser and says she dotbts she

:03:07.:03:10.

will work again. As she recovers, she still believes she has been

:03:11.:03:14.

lucky. I feel as though it hs a small price to pay to lose ` finger

:03:15.:03:16.

because I could have lost mx life. Stay safe when you're out on the

:03:17.:03:25.

town. That's the message to thousands of students across the

:03:26.:03:28.

North as universities resumd after the long summer break. Alre`dy this

:03:29.:03:30.

year five young people have lost their lives in our rivers. Now

:03:31.:03:33.

officials are using freshers' week to warm students of the dangers of

:03:34.:03:36.

going near the water after drinking alcohol. Phil Connell is live for us

:03:37.:03:39.

in York tonight. Here, the river is one of the

:03:40.:04:00.

city's biggest attractions. This year, they represent the making

:04:01.:04:03.

headlines for the wrong reasons Three deaths so far this ye`r and

:04:04.:04:07.

with thousands of students now arriving in the city, offichals are

:04:08.:04:11.

keen to ensure they are now more needless tragedies. The winner gets

:04:12.:04:20.

an iPad... A friendly welcole to the start of the academic year. In York,

:04:21.:04:28.

it is freshers' week. For m`ny students, the first taste of

:04:29.:04:33.

freedom. There are no parents to stop you doing anything. I could

:04:34.:04:36.

have gone out until the AM hf I wanted. It is that sense of freedom.

:04:37.:04:45.

`` three o'clock in the morning If you're drunk, anything can happen.

:04:46.:04:50.

One tradition of freshers' week is to introduce students to thd city's

:04:51.:04:53.

bars and clubs but this week in your, there is a serious message.

:04:54.:04:59.

The dangers of the rivers and the tragic stories that have cole all

:05:00.:05:05.

too familiar. In 2014, the rivers here have claimed the lives of the

:05:06.:05:09.

people. Megan Roberts was 20 years old and a student at York St Jon

:05:10.:05:13.

University. There have been similar tragedies in Durham. This rhver

:05:14.:05:18.

claimed the lives of students this year. You will have been out and in

:05:19.:05:24.

the pubs, you will have nothced there is a large river runnhng

:05:25.:05:29.

through the centre. In some cases, alcohol was thought to contribute.

:05:30.:05:34.

In York today, student safety officers were using freshers' week

:05:35.:05:41.

to make students more aware. We use figures from the emergency services

:05:42.:05:49.

to show that if you end up hn the river, it is not very forgiving It

:05:50.:05:53.

makes you realise it is verx serious. I think we will st`y well

:05:54.:06:04.

away from the river. Similar advice is also being given in Durh`m this

:06:05.:06:10.

week. 2014 was a tragic year from which it is hoped important lessons

:06:11.:06:13.

will not be learned. An important lesson indeed. What

:06:14.:06:20.

else is being done to help prevent the loss of lives? It is an issue

:06:21.:06:28.

the council and police and University are taking seriotsly

:06:29.:06:30.

They have been looking at solutions to us. One idea is to have ` patrol

:06:31.:06:36.

boat on the river at certain busy times of the week. Another

:06:37.:06:39.

suggestion is to perhaps fends off certain parts of the river, like

:06:40.:06:44.

this, to make it more securd. One recurring theme in all of this, it's

:06:45.:06:49.

how we make young people drhnk more sensibly and to that end, b`rs here

:06:50.:06:53.

in York are on the lookout for that kind of thing. Student union members

:06:54.:06:59.

will be in the city to help young people, who may be slightly worse

:07:00.:07:01.

for wear. Thanks for that. Next year, the Government is due to

:07:02.:07:05.

make a key decision about what to do with a dangerous by`product of

:07:06.:07:09.

nuclear power generation. At the moment, Sellafield in West Cumbria

:07:10.:07:11.

houses the world's biggest civil stockpile of plutonium. It's

:07:12.:07:13.

estimated there'll be 140 tonnes of the highly`radioactive material by

:07:14.:07:16.

2020. The long`term options include burial or ` the Government's

:07:17.:07:18.

preferred route ` converting the fuel for use in the next generation

:07:19.:07:20.

of nuclear stations. But as Chris workers in running nuclear projects.

:07:21.:09:17.

The advice for Cumbria... It seems to me they are not falling what is

:09:18.:09:19.

happening in the United States. It is as if they have no knowlddge of

:09:20.:09:24.

the mass of problems here. Xou might have a feeling of deja vu, watching

:09:25.:09:29.

this. In 2011, Sellafield controversially closed its own

:09:30.:09:35.

plant, costing millions of pounds. Three years later, there is talk of

:09:36.:09:40.

building another one. I havd been trying to speak to someone from the

:09:41.:09:42.

Department of Energy and Clhmate Change. But in the last few months,

:09:43.:09:47.

no one was available to answer questions on camera. The Government

:09:48.:09:51.

has elected to the agency responsible for nuclear waste to

:09:52.:09:58.

explain. I will not say that the service was a success. We nded to

:09:59.:10:01.

learn the lessons from that project. We went to America and one of the

:10:02.:10:06.

critics they said what is h`ppening here. Are you? Absolutely. We work

:10:07.:10:15.

closely with the US Departmdnt of energy and talk to them regtlarly.

:10:16.:10:18.

We are learning a lot from them You're correct that recent history

:10:19.:10:22.

suggests building the plant can be challenging. Can you stand here

:10:23.:10:27.

today and tell me it will not cost a penny more than you think? Ht is a

:10:28.:10:35.

handful of billions of pounds for any of the options. The Govdrnment

:10:36.:10:40.

will make a decision on what to do next year. Meanwhile, the Sdllafield

:10:41.:10:45.

plutonium stockpile, contintes to grow.

:10:46.:10:47.

And you can see what advice the American nuclear workers have for

:10:48.:10:49.

the people of Cumbria on Inside Out, here on BBC One tonight at 7:30pm.

:10:50.:10:56.

A 22`year`old man is still hn police custody following the death of a man

:10:57.:10:59.

in North Tyneside. The dead man s been named as Uriel Moskwa, who was

:11:00.:11:02.

43 and lived in North Shields. He was found in Aldwych Drive hn the

:11:03.:11:06.

town on Saturday, with a st`b wound to the thigh. Two other men and a

:11:07.:11:09.

A roller`coaster in North Yorkshire had to be closed after it hht a

:11:10.:11:17.

deer. Passengers on the ridd ` at Lightwater Valley near Ripon ` were

:11:18.:11:21.

unhurt, but some were left with blood on their clothing. Thd animal

:11:22.:11:23.

was killed instantly after being struck by the "Ultimate Trahn"

:11:24.:11:26.

roller`coaster ride on Saturday morning.

:11:27.:11:32.

There've been plenty of big speeches at the Conservative party conference

:11:33.:11:35.

today ` including one by thd Chancellor, George Osborne. But one

:11:36.:11:37.

unexpected star attraction was a former Northern Rock worker from

:11:38.:11:40.

Newcastle. Paul Bunyan told delegates life ` for him ` had

:11:41.:11:42.

improved under the coalition. Our political editor, Richard Moss, is

:11:43.:11:45.

at conference and a short while ago I asked him what Mr Bunyan had said.

:11:46.:11:59.

P2P conference back to 2008 when he was working in the Newcastld branch

:12:00.:12:06.

of northern rock. He had to deal with those massive queues pdople can

:12:07.:12:12.

remember from that time. His insecurity was whether he would keep

:12:13.:12:16.

his job. He is now married `nd happy and working for virgin monex. He was

:12:17.:12:24.

delighted to take George Osborne around his branch because hd thinks

:12:25.:12:27.

Government policy is to be thanked for his own position at the position

:12:28.:12:33.

of the economy. I was delighted It seemed fitting that the company most

:12:34.:12:36.

people associate with the start of the financial crisis had bedn

:12:37.:12:40.

transformed into the companx that the Chancellor visited on the day

:12:41.:12:43.

was officially confirmed our economy was bouncing back. A positive

:12:44.:12:54.

mention for virgin money. Btt George Osborne saw this as music to his

:12:55.:12:57.

ears. He returned the favour by mentioning pol in his speech. He

:12:58.:13:04.

knows because seven years ago he was working in northern rock. Hd watched

:13:05.:13:10.

the queues of people desper`te to withdraw savings before the bank

:13:11.:13:13.

collapsed. He saw Britain on the brink and he says we must ndver go

:13:14.:13:25.

back and so do we. One Northern Star at virgin today. What powers might

:13:26.:13:31.

the Conservatives offer at the North to compete with Scotland? That has

:13:32.:13:41.

been the discussion here. After the Independence Referendum. George

:13:42.:13:43.

Osborne mentioned he would pass on further powers to England btt was

:13:44.:13:51.

not specific. Cumbrian MP, Rory Stewart, believes Boris Johnson

:13:52.:13:56.

style mayor 's for counties and cities is a good idea. I thhnk we

:13:57.:14:03.

can learn from the United States. People are very proud to be merits

:14:04.:14:10.

and governors of states. I think that would be a more satisfxing job.

:14:11.:14:16.

People working for four days in Westminster and the days in their

:14:17.:14:23.

constituency could in this way focus on local areas. There is mention of

:14:24.:14:30.

railway lines today. Yes. There was a mention of a plan to upgr`de the

:14:31.:14:38.

A1. Also, the East Coast Mahn Line. The idea is to re`privatise it to

:14:39.:14:43.

improve services. There has been a lot of scepticism from Labotr and

:14:44.:14:46.

the trade unions, who believe the opposite. Tomorrow, attention will

:14:47.:14:50.

turn to Boris Johnson, Mayor of London. That should be interesting.

:14:51.:14:55.

Health bosses in Cumbria have promised the West Cumberland

:14:56.:14:59.

Hospital has a secure futurd. They say when a new hospital opens in

:15:00.:15:02.

Whitehaven next year, it will have an A department and will still

:15:03.:15:05.

treat the vast majority of patients in West Cumbria. They do, however,

:15:06.:15:08.

accept problems remain with acute medical services ` because the

:15:09.:15:10.

hospital no longer has any junior doctors. A public meeting to discuss

:15:11.:15:13.

the hospital's future is behng held in Whitehaven tonight.

:15:14.:15:23.

I am looking forward to meeting the staff and public. I want to assure

:15:24.:15:31.

them that our hospitals are making great progress and that we have

:15:32.:15:36.

improved our outcomes by making the changes we have made. And that we

:15:37.:15:40.

have every intention of keeping open intensive care, A and a whde range

:15:41.:15:43.

of services. And BBC Radio Cumbria will have more

:15:44.:15:46.

on that story in their breakfast show with Mike Zeller, tomorrow

:15:47.:15:49.

morning from 6:30am. A new drug treatment for brdast

:15:50.:15:54.

cancer ` trialled at the Frdeman Hospital in Newcastle ` has been

:15:55.:15:57.

shown to extend patients' lhves by up to five years. The trials ` on

:15:58.:16:00.

women with advanced HER2`positive breast cancer ` were conducted at

:16:01.:16:03.

the Northern Cancer Care Centre The drug is now available on thd NHS in

:16:04.:16:06.

England, via the Cancer Drugs Fund. In a sense, we have turned breast

:16:07.:16:18.

cancer from a disease which kills people supposedly quickly into a

:16:19.:16:26.

disease where even those with the disease, no measure it in ydars not

:16:27.:16:31.

weeks and months as it used to be. On to sport now, and on a Monday

:16:32.:16:34.

night ` that means "Team Talk". Top marks to new Carlisle m`nager

:16:35.:16:39.

Keith Curle ` the Blues picking up their first win of the season. But

:16:40.:16:42.

for once it's Newcastle owndr Mike As a rule he doesn't give interviews

:16:43.:16:45.

to anybody ` not just us ` but a newspaper reporter who caught him

:16:46.:16:53.

outside a pub in London's Soho at the weekend was given a world

:16:54.:16:56.

exclusive. He apparently told Ashley who he was, asked for an interview

:16:57.:16:58.

"on the record" ` and the M`gpies' owner reportedly said if Unhted lose

:16:59.:17:02.

at Stoke tonight, then manager Alan Pardew is: "Dead. Finished. Over.

:17:03.:17:04.

One more game and that's it." Interesting that he recentlx banned

:17:05.:17:13.

a couple of newspapers from St James's Park for suggesting

:17:14.:17:16.

something similar! When the story broke, Ashley's lawyer clailed his

:17:17.:17:18.

client's response was "tongte in cheek" and that he'd been

:17:19.:17:21.

"humouring" the reporter. Hhlarious. I have been under pressure `t this

:17:22.:17:34.

club for a number of weeks. All I can focus on is the team and that is

:17:35.:17:38.

what I will do. Sometimes things are taken out of context. You know, if

:17:39.:17:44.

it was a sit down interview any serious manner, I would be lore

:17:45.:17:48.

concerned than I am today. For sure. You have to be focused on your

:17:49.:17:52.

goals. We have a simple goal, that is Monday night. We want to get a

:17:53.:18:00.

win. Down to ten men in extra time on Wednesday, that spirit shows we

:18:01.:18:01.

are fighting. Full match commentary from the

:18:02.:18:02.

Britannia Stadium on BBC Newcastle. And it's Stoke who're next tp for

:18:03.:18:07.

Sunderland ` like the Magpids, still looking for their first League win

:18:08.:18:10.

of the season, because it's now five draws and one defeat in six

:18:11.:18:13.

matches. You get these games sometimds.

:18:14.:18:31.

Sunderland had better chancds but just could not score. Five league

:18:32.:18:39.

goals so far this season. It is just not happening for them. Everything

:18:40.:18:47.

this player touched last ye`r when Tim and that is not happening now.

:18:48.:18:54.

After this performance, that will not stop a second yellow and a read.

:18:55.:19:04.

Steven Fletcher hasn't scordd since last Christmas. What does hd see

:19:05.:19:22.

here? Probably don't. We had a lot of chances. We tried from corners

:19:23.:19:28.

and free kicks and crosses. We only missed one or two goals. I `m

:19:29.:19:40.

convinced this is the way. H would worry if there was fighting but

:19:41.:19:41.

we're in the game the time. In the Championship,

:19:42.:19:45.

Middlesbrough couldn't quitd make it Which is a shame because thdy could

:19:46.:19:47.

have jumped up to third place. Some tired legs

:19:48.:19:52.

after that incredible cup m`tch For Albert Adomah,

:19:53.:19:56.

who missed the penalty that handed the Merseysiders victory,

:19:57.:20:02.

it wasn't the best of weeks. Although the Ghanian very ndarly

:20:03.:20:04.

gave Boro the lead before Boro certainly had plenty

:20:05.:20:06.

of chances ` and some fans thought this one from Patrick Bamford had

:20:07.:20:10.

initially gone in... But it wasn't all Boro `

:20:11.:20:15.

Charlton had their fair share This incident saw Adomah sent

:20:16.:20:18.

off for a second yellow card. Pretty much both to blame

:20:19.:20:21.

for that one, I would have thought! Boro then had to fend off a late

:20:22.:20:29.

onslaught at The Valley ` btt fend it off they did to earn a v`luable

:20:30.:20:32.

point ` and another perform`nce of which Aitor Karanka was justifiably

:20:33.:20:36.

proud. And Hartlepool boss Colin Cooper was satisfied with hhs team's

:20:37.:20:38.

point against Portsmouth as the sides drew 0`0 at Victoria Park for

:20:39.:20:41.

the third consecutive season. The visitors had the best of thd chances

:20:42.:20:44.

and Pools are still strugglhng to find that cutting edge in front of

:20:45.:20:47.

goal, but they did at least keep a clean sheet. The result movds them

:20:48.:20:50.

out of the relegation zone but And worrying times for York City

:20:51.:20:53.

manager Nigel Worthington as his side dropped to fourth bottom ` just

:20:54.:21:03.

a point above Hartlepool following defeat to Dagenham and Redbridge. It

:21:04.:21:06.

might have been different if any of these early efforts had gond in but

:21:07.:21:09.

two goals from Joss Labadie sealed the result to take the Daggdrs above

:21:10.:21:13.

the Minstermen. Well, we've saved the best of

:21:14.:21:20.

the Football League until l`st. And not the first time the

:21:21.:21:25.

appointment of a new manager has had We're talking of course abott Keith

:21:26.:21:28.

Curle, who replaced Graham Kavanagh at Carlisle ` cleared everything out

:21:29.:21:32.

of the manager's office and his clean sweep had an hnspiring

:21:33.:21:34.

effect on the pitch as well. In the first half,

:21:35.:21:37.

there were several decent chances for the home side, who hadn't won

:21:38.:21:40.

in the league for 15 matches. The all`important only goal of

:21:41.:21:44.

the game came when David Amoo got on Tranmere guilty of missing chances

:21:45.:21:47.

:21:48.:21:54.

but closing the gap on the likes of Hartlepool and York ` who also

:21:55.:21:58.

find themselves in trouble. It is a little bit fragile. The

:21:59.:22:11.

players needed that bit of belief in themselves. We know where wd are.

:22:12.:22:16.

The players needed that performance. That gives us something

:22:17.:22:20.

to build on. Away from football, only defeats

:22:21.:22:22.

to report for both rugby codes? Yes ` in rugby league there was huge

:22:23.:22:25.

disappointment for York Citx Knights who failed to make it through to the

:22:26.:22:29.
