Two Newcastle MPs say they're angry that child heart surgery | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
NHS England says the Freeman Hospital needs | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
to bring all its specialist children's services together. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
At the moment some are provided three miles away, | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
at the Great North Children's Hospital. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Our health reporter, Sharon Barbour, has the story. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Rachel in Middlesbrough knows how difficult it is to watch your own | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Her son Theo has needed it three times. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
We owe them everything, we really do, they are just outstanding. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
And an outstanding team, and we still have contact with them, now. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
On a three-yearly basis, now, which is fantastic. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
We never, ever thought we would see that. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
He's one of more than 2,000 heart and lung transplant patients that | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
have been saved by the Freeman Hospital. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
But BBC Look North has revealed for the Freeman Hospital to be able | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
to continue its life-saving complex child heart surgery, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
NHS England says it needs to be on the same site as other | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
And today Newcastle Hospitals confirmed it was drawing up | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
plans to move everything across to the Royal | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
NHS England have made it very clear that they really do wish us to move. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
We would need to re-equip two operating theatres, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
we would need what's called a cardiac catheterisation | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
laboratory, we would need a large dedicated children's intensive care | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
area, a high-dependency area, ward beds and an outpatient clinic. | :01:44. | :01:56. | |
The move will be a huge challenge and will cost many tens | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
NHS England say Newcastle Hospitals will have to find that money | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
The news has drawn strong criticism from Newcastle MPs. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Chi Onwurah is writing to the Health Secretary asking | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
"whether forcing it to move across the city is really | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
And Nick Brown was also shocked to hear the news. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
The issue here is between rational argument, and the weight of evidence | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
is clearly on Newcastle's side, versus political decision-making, | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
and there of course we come down to the Secretary | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
of State Jeremy Hunt, so we'll both be putting pressure | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
on the Secretary of State to at least play fair. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
NHS England says Newcastle will have extra time to draw up their plans. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
The Hospital Trust says the actual move could mean building a whole | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
new heart and transplant unit on the RVI site and that the whole | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
process could take years, but they have no option. | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
Three men have appeared in court in connection with a shooting | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
A doorman was injured outside Tup Tup Palace in 2015. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Two men, both from the Walker area of the city, were remanded | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
in custody accused of conspiracy to murder. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
A third man was released on bail charged with assisting an offender. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
An internet troll from South Shields who made death threats to an MP has | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
been jailed for two years and three months. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Two related to emails he sent to the Merseyside Labour | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
He told her she would "get it like Jo Cox", the MP | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
The 28-year-old appeared before Newcastle Crown Court, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
The judge said John Nimmo's need for notoriety grossly | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
outweighed his concern for others and that he terrified his victims | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
from his home, where he thought he could remain anonymous. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Today, the 28-year-old from South Shields was jailed | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
for nine charges relating to threatening and offensive | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
messages he'd sent to a number of victims via the internet. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
In July last year, he sent death threats via email to Liverpool MP | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Luciana Berger just weeks after her fellow MP Jo Cox | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
was stabbed and shot at her constituency office. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
In one email to Miss Berger, Nimmo referred to the murder, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
saying "she would get it like Jo Cox", accompanied | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
He was also sentenced today for sending offensive emails | :04:23. | :04:34. | |
to an anti-hate-crime organisation, in which he threatened | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
to blow up a mosque, saying "death will come | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
In a statement read out in court today from Miss Berger, she said... | :04:39. | :04:52. | |
In mitigation, Nimmo's barrister said he had Asperger's syndrome | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
He also said it was unlikely he wouldn't reoffend | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
without therapy, due to psychological problems. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
It's not the first time Nimmo's been convicted for this type of offence - | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
in 2014 he was jailed for offensive tweets to a journalist and an MP. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Sentencing John Nimmo, Judge Robert Adams told him his | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
actions had been cowardly and caused fear, misery and paranoia | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
He also said it was of great concern that he had thought it was "fun" | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
to get reactions from people whilst abusing them anonymously, | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
and that his need for recognition had stopped any remorse. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
Bradley Lowery, the five-year-old Sunderland football fan | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
who has terminal cancer, has had some special | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
The Black Cats' top scorer Jermain Defoe and goalkeeper | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
Vito Mannone popped in to see him, along with Seb Larsson | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
A photo of Bradley falling asleep cuddling Defoe has been liked | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
by tens of thousands of people on social media. | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Finally, the Minster Police, who protect the grounds | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
of York Minster, are to get the same powers as regular police officers. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Thought to be the oldest police force in the country, | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
its officers have been looking after the cathedral | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
Although it's a private force, they've had specialist training, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Time now for the weekend weather forecast with Jen Bartram. | :06:25. | :06:39. | |
We start tonight's forecast with a yellow warning | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
for snow, falling as showers through the night tonight. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Not all of us will catch them but on higher ground | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Those showers will be with us first thing tomorrow morning. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
They'll gradually start to turn more to rain as we head through the day. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Parts of Cumbria staying largely dry but the showers will gradually start | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
to push over as we head into the afternoon, | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Temperatures 4-6, but add on the strength of that brisk | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
north-easterly wind and it will be feeling much colder than that. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Into Sunday, many parts start off dry but there will be some further | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
showers to come in the forecast, again, falling as snow | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Some brightness across western parts of Cumbria later on in the day | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Temperatures up to four or five degrees. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Here's a reminder of the weather this weekend. | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Now the national forecast with Louise Lear. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
exception to that rule probably over the hills where again there could be | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
a bit of snow, but not accumulating. Another cold | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
However I paint this weekend's picture, I'll need a palette of | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
grey. Thereby a a lot of cloud around but I managed to find some | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
sunshine. I don't know how but there was a couple of hours towards the | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
south-west in Cornwall, a beautiful day. The south-west saw glimpses of | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
sunshine. Further east, cloudy, cold and grey with winds off the North | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
seep and a scattering of wintry showers. Yes, rain sleet and snow, a | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
dusting at lower levels through the day. It brought this beautiful | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
picture on the outskirts of Aberdeenshire. But enough of the | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
sun, let's get back to the nitty gritty and talk about the snow | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
showers that will continue across the eastern half of the UK | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
throughout the night. There will be some significant accumulations | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
higher ground. A dusting at lower levels, and it will 's be cold | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
further north and | :08:41. | :08:41. |
