It needs to make savings of more than ?33 million in the next | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
financial year yet Durham Council has agreed a rescue package | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
?3.7 million of outstanding debt owed to the council will be | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
This comes on the day teachhng assistants voted for strike action | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
as Durham Council plans to cut their pay. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
After more than 20 years as a first-class county, | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
Durham is a cricket club saddled with debt - more than ?7 million. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Durham County Council is owed ?3.7 million with no prospect | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
of repayment, and so today, the council vote to turn th`t debt | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
I ask that everybody is in agreement with | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
So the council has allowed the cricket club to live and hopes | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
to be repaid at some stage in the future. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Recently, we've closed care homes, we've closed leisure centres, | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
we're restricting service to the old and the young, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
we've shut schools, and I don't think Joe Public out there's | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
The council claims the cricket club brings millions into the economy, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
It brings an important profile, not just for the county of Durham, | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
But is there much appetite `mongst local council taxpayers | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
I would probably go against it but that's my belief | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
If they go bust, to me, they half deserve it. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
If they have the problem, why give us the problem? | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Because if the council's bahling them out, it's going to impact | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The County Durham and the cricket club - help them out of trotble | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
The council deal suggested by cricket's governing body, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
It relegated Durham for their financial dealings. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
It's been getting it in the neck for doing so. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
But it too has been lenient over money that Durham owes it. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
So the ECB has written off ?2 million worth of debt. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
It's paid off a loan company that was owed about ?800,000 | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
by Durham and it won't vigorously pursue another ?1.8 million | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
And thanks to that and the council, Durham will live to play on. | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
Well, teaching assistants in County Durham who are Unison | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
members have voted for strike action over Durham Council's plan to pay | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
While the council says the change is needed to abide by equal pay | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
rules, some workers say they could lose nearly a qu`rter | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Our news correspondent, Mark Denten, reports. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
You could hear the anger when they gathered for a rally | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
But words from the teaching assistants are about | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
to turn into action - action which could have an hmpact | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
on schools, pupils and parents across County Durham. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Unison members have voted by 93% to strike. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
This shows absolutely the strength of feeling amongst our Unison | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
teaching assistants about the way they're being treated | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
We know that there was a strong solidarity amongst our membdrship | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
and we hope that the council now sit up and listen and come back | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
The strike is over plans by Durham Council to reduce | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
the teaching assistants' pax just to turn time. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
GMB members have backed a compensation deal but workers | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
who plan to strike say they've been left with little choice. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
We have taken this action with a heavy heart. | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
We absolutely understand the impact and the disruption this | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
will have for schools, for families, for children, but we | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
The long-term impact and the long-term disruption | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
to those families and schools and children will be far, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
far greater if those professional dedicated experienced staff | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
are forced out of their jobs because they can't afford to live. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
The council says it's disappointed about the planned strike action | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
There was a significant risk of an equal pay claim. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
We've had to do what we've done thus far and, of course, two | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
of the unions have accepted the compensatory offer | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
But clearly, our priority now is to work with school leaders, | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
governors and headteachers to minimise the impact | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
Their education is our primd concern at this time. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Unison say, while there are no dates yet for strikes, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
they will definitely take place before Christmas. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Mark Denten, BBC Look North, Durham. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
A family have spoken of their distress at the way | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
their dying mother was treated in her final moments. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
An internal investigation is underway at Harrogate Hospital | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
after Irene Simister was moved twice in the last half hour of her life. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
The hospital has now apologised, as Cathy Killick reports. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
It's just five days since the death of his mother, Irene, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
and David Simister is at her flat to start sorting out her affairs. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
His grief is still very raw and it's compounded by the manner | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
of his mother's death at Harrogate Hospital. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
In her dying moments, a clinical bed manager insisted | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Irene was moved to make way for another patient. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
It was very upsetting because we had prepared ourselves for our mother | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
to pass away in the room she had been in for almost a week. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
She was comfortable there, she was settled there, | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
she had cards from well-wishers there, she had flowers and she had | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
a photograph of her and my father on their wedding day on the table | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
In the melee that was to get her into this other sideroom | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
before her death, that got knocked over. | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
Some of her stuff was left in the corridor. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
And we were left with our mother dead in another room | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
The nurses said they were doing it under sufferance and when mx mother | :06:14. | :06:29. | |
under sufferance and when my mother died, the nurses were crying. They | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
see death on a daily basis and died, the nurses were crying. They | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
see death on a daily basis `nd they see death on a daily basis and they | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
are used today but they werd not used to this particular death. Those | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
final minutes after them further tainted by what happened. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
The hospital has apologised for moving her. | :06:50. | :07:06. | |
I want to ensure that what happened to my mother and what myself | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
and my family are experiencing, does not happen to anybody dlse | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
For David, that means seeing protocols established | :07:16. | :07:28. | |
to ensure dying patients aren't moved in future. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Cathy Killick, BBC Look North, Harrogate. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
A sixth man is being questioned by police over the death of a woman | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
27-year-old Jodie Wilkinson was stabbed on Monday | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Today, a 43-year-old man was arrested. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Five other men arrested remain in custody. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
A 20-year-old man has died in a road crash on the A69 in Northumberland. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
It happened shortly after 1`m near the Bridge End | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
A 27-year-old man and a wom`n aged 21 have been arrested | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Theresa May has rejected an appeal to intervene in the potential | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
downgrading of health services at the West Cumberland Hosphtal | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Restructuring plans include the possible scaling back | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
of consultant-led maternity and children's services. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
During Parliamentary Questions, Mrs May said the issue | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
would be dealt with by local decision-makers - | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
something opposed by the local community. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
I was disappointed and underwhelmed by the Prime Minister's response | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Either she's been given misleading information to use at the ddspatch | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
box or she's choosing to use misleading information | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
Ultimately, the question of maternity services, 24-hour | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
consultant and maternity services at the West Cumberland Hospital, | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
is a decision that will be made by the government. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Unemployment's fallen across the region, according | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
88,000 people were without ` job in the North East in | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
the three months to August , that's down 9,000. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
There were falls too in Cumbria, where 4,445 people are clailing | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Job Seekers' Allowance, and in North Yorkshire, | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
To football - Gateshead are out of the FA Cup | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
after losing to Alfreton Town in their qualifying-round replay. | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
They came from behind to le`d 2 1 at one point but eventually lost | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
