The American surgeon who pioneered a treatment to destroy brain tumours | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
has told a Teesside family the operation could change | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Five-year-old Finley Ingles travelled to Houston | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
after his family raised ?200,000 from well-wishers to fund the trip. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
Stuart Whincup sent this report from Texas. | :00:27. | :00:36. | |
It's home to America's biggest Children's Hospital. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
Ground-breaking brain surgery is performed here, | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
and this is why Finley desperately needs it. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
He's laughing, but feels discomfort and is left confused. | :00:48. | :01:03. | |
The seizure happened as Finley's family were meeting the man | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
who pioneered the surgery that he'll undergo. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
The treatment is called laser ablation surgery. | :01:09. | :01:20. | |
A tiny hole is made in the skull, the size of the tip of a pen. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
And using MRI for guidence, a laser is directed where the tumour is, | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
When we are considering our skill at treating this type of haematoma, | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
even in open operations that would incur lots of side effects, | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
it's only about 50%, that were getting better. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Even away from the hospital in Houston, Finley's keen to show | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
I'm not allowed to get in here because I'm a doctor. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
For Finley's family, today's appointment did offer reassurance. | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
It filled us with positivity, really. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
It filled us with a lot of confidence, knowing that he feels | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
the operation will be such a success. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Nothing can quite prepare you for your child to have surgery. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
And with the best will in the world, for all the googling | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
and everything that we've done, actually meeting the man himself has | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
After the years of hospital appointments, tests and scans, | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Finley is now just 24 hours away from the operation that | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
He'll be admitted to Texas Children's Hospital in the early | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
His family say this is Finley's last hope. | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
His last chance for a happy childhood, free from | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
The 15 year-old girl accused of the murder of seven-year-old | :02:50. | :03:03. | |
Katie Rough in York in January has today pleaded not guilty. | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
John Cundy was at Leeds Crown Court, and sent us this report. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
Katie Rough's family arriving at Leeds Crown Court today. They sat in | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
the jury area of a court to follow the legal proceedings. Katie was | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
attacked on playing fields and the Woodfield area of York in January. | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
She died soon afterwards as an arrest was made in the community. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Earlier this week crowds gathered outside York Minster where the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
funeral was held. A 15-year-old girl accused of the murder of Katie Rough | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
made a 20 minute appearance by video link here at Leeds Crown Court. She | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
can't be named for legal reasons. Her solicitor sitting beside her | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
said the girl was pleading not guilty to the murder of Katie on | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
January nine. The judge explained the proceedings of the court to the | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
girl and told she would stand trial in July. The community was united in | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
grief at the death of Katie Rough. The trial of the girl accused of her | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
killing is expected to last between two and three weeks. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
A wealthy Tyneside businessman, accused of sexually abusing boys, | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
has told a court he's the victim of a "police witch hunt." | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
75 year-old Colin Gregg, from Newcastle, was giving evidence | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
in his defence against nine counts of indecent assault. | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
Here's our correspondent, Peter Harris. | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
Colin Gregg, the court has heard, has said | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
Today, he spoke directly to the jury. | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Under cross-examination, he was asked, is it | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
of these components is either mistaken or lying? | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
He said that those making false allegations are doing | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
He accepted that while he's a wealthy man, none | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
of the complainant has made a claim of compensation, | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
give any reason why any of them would choose to lie. | :05:08. | :05:23. | |
The jury has been told of Colin Gregg's background. | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
That he'd helped develop the family's bakery business, | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
is a former head teacher, and had driven forward the Yellow | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
He denies nine counts of indecent assault on four boys. | :05:40. | :05:53. | |
He was asked by his own barrister, it did yet any stage | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Now, for many smokers, kicking the habit can be | :05:57. | :06:06. | |
But it's one of the best things you can do for your health - | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
and if you're pregnant, it's vital for the | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
Now, Newcastle University researchers have | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
are almost twice as likely to quit smoking if they're tested | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
with a carbon monoxide monitor at their first midwife appointment. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Here's our health reporter, Sharon Barbour. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
When Melanie fell pregnant with her little girl, Faith, | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
she had been a heavy smoker for years. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
I started smoking when I was about 16, so yes, a school you smoke, try | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
to impress the boys, and it was the fashion in them days. Then I smoked | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
until I was 40. She'd smoked through all four | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
previous pregnancies - I never ever thought, it was just | :06:53. | :07:05. | |
like, I'll carry on like I did, and people have healthy babies and smoke | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
before, my parents both smoked. But something different happened | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
with this pregnancy - that changed her: The amount | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
of carbon monoxide in a non-smoker They checked the amount of carbon | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
monoxide in my breath. Event light came on and she demonstrated what it | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
does to your baby once you smoke. It is basically just strangling you, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
and you actually trying to reach for breath, and I'm thinking that is | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
kind of frightening, and that is the first time I actually literally, in | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
my head, visualised what it must be for a little person inside, | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
basically you are just constantly strangling that child. | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
It's this test and the chat from a midwife - that | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Newcastle University have found does hugely help pregnant mums to quit | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
What we found is that this test, and then put in touch to stop smoking, | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
nearly doubled quit rates in pregnancy. There is very clear | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
evidence that smoking in pregnancy can lead to a lighter birth weight, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
which can lead to a lot of problems also on in their lives. The | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
The team studied 40,000 mothers-to-be at maternity units | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
across the North East, including 10,500 who smoked. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
The programme's called "BabyClear" - and for mums like Melanie, | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
it clearly works, and there are now calls for the approach to be used | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
On to football, and the Premier League's leading referee | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
is quitting his job to take up a post in Saudi Arabia. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Mark Clattenburg from County Durham was unveiled on the Saudi | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
FA's live Twitter page as their new head of referees. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
The 41 year old - who's widely considered to be one | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
of the world's top officials - could even leave the UK | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
before the next round of Premier League fixtures. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Last year, he officiated the finals of Euro 2016, | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Clattenburg was in charge at the Emirates on Saturday, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
in Arsenal's 2-0 win Premier League over Hull City. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
I know it's been mild, but I'm not sure we can quite | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
ever the optimist, it is mild but not quite that mild. It stays with | :09:25. | :09:40. | |
us over the next few days, western areas generally cloudy and misty, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
mostly dry. East of the Pennines tend to have clearer skies and with | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
light winds we could set the temperature is maybe outlying parts | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
from Northumberland as low as two or three Celsius, perhaps just called | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
in a fight ground frost, elsewhere between five and 7 degrees | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
overnight. The East-West split continues, eastern Area C the best | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
of the sunshine, always a bit more clout in the West, some low cloud as | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
well, so poor visibility over the higher ground but most places dry | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
through the day. The temperatures will reach about 10 Celsius at best | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
and the wins will be pretty light tomorrow. A little ridge of high | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
pressure over us tomorrow, it gets shunted away as we head to the | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
weekend. Weather fronts coming in from the west. But the weather | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
fronts have been fairly weak affairs, some patchy rain on them | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
although little lines on the chart, so fairly breezy at times through | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
the weekend. Saturday, fairly cloudy skies, thick enough just rain at | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
times, especially in the West. The temperatures again into double | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
figures, ten or 11 at best, although it will be fairly breezy with it in | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
the south-westerly wind. Some rain for many of us on Saturday night, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
and then Sunday again, a fair amount of cloud around. The best of any | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
you with a summary for tomorrow. you with a summary for tomorrow. | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
forthcoming weekend. Here is Nick Miller with a resume of the National | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
weather picture. Hello, rain for some of us today | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
although it won't make much of a dent in the dry winter so far across | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
much of the UK. A few threatening clouds in Cumbria but more than a | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
threat of rain across the pond for Friday. The wettest weather system | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
of the season is over heading into California, and there have been a | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
few, with copious amounts of rain and lots of mountain snow. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
Record-breaking wet winter so far in parts of California. In Los Angeles | :11:36. | :11:36. |
