:00:05. > :00:10.Welcome to Look North. In the programme tonight: The body
:00:10. > :00:13.of a County Durham man is exhumed, 11 years after he fell from a Greek
:00:13. > :00:18.balcony. His family still don't know what happened to him.
:00:18. > :00:22.family is going through total and utter hell.
:00:22. > :00:26.Guilty, the woman who shouted Bangkok, at blinded police officer
:00:26. > :00:31.David Rathband. In hot water. Scientists find what
:00:31. > :00:36.they are looking for. - two kilometres below Newcastle.
:00:36. > :00:42.And calls for a public inquiry over the future of a Ford which is
:00:42. > :00:45.threatened for closure. Could Durham keep it up in the
:00:45. > :00:55.cricket. And whether it was four or two legs or two wheels, thousands
:00:55. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:07.enjoyed the north's big sporting The family of a County Durham man
:01:07. > :01:13.killed after falling from a hotel balcony say they were left with no
:01:13. > :01:17.choice but to have his body exhumed. Chris Rochester died in a Greek
:01:17. > :01:21.hospital after a fall. His body was then returned to the UK with a
:01:21. > :01:26.kidney missing. His remains have been taken for tests to find out
:01:26. > :01:31.whether a kidney which was was eventually sent back was or wasn't
:01:31. > :01:36.his. After dark, they gathered at the
:01:36. > :01:41.cemetery. 11 years of agony had come to this. But Chris Rochester's
:01:41. > :01:46.family says exhumation is worth it if it proves a Greek hospital
:01:46. > :01:52.neglected him and sent back a kidney that wasn't his.-The-family
:01:52. > :01:59.Is going through total and utter hell. There's no other words to
:01:59. > :02:05.express it. This is just our worst nightmare. What's happening here
:02:05. > :02:10.tonight, in its own way, means that Chris himself is returning. If
:02:10. > :02:16.Chris gives that last vital piece of evidence that is needed for the
:02:16. > :02:22.Greek authorities to try and con Victor the criminals. This tragedy
:02:23. > :02:26.began the night 24-year-old Chris Fell 40 feet from a hotel balcony
:02:26. > :02:33.in Rhodes. His family say hospital staff neglected him and he bled to
:02:33. > :02:38.death. Then, the body came back, a ked any missing. An organ was later
:02:38. > :02:43.sent sent back from Greece. Family DNA tests showed it wasn't his. The
:02:43. > :02:49.Greeks dispute this and forced the exhumation. Reluck tantly agreeing,
:02:49. > :02:55.the family this it is the only way to prove negligent, even conspiracy.
:02:55. > :02:59.The fact of the matter is that kidney which is important in terms
:02:59. > :03:03.of determining how he died is missing and replaced with one which
:03:03. > :03:08.isn't Chris's is a key point in show ing negligence let to his
:03:08. > :03:13.death. So, Chris Rochester's body is being exhumed from here. His
:03:13. > :03:17.remains will be taken for DNA testing and matched against the
:03:18. > :03:21.preserved kidney which was independent ly returned. An
:03:21. > :03:26.independent laboratory will decide whether that kidney belongs to
:03:26. > :03:30.Chris or not. As dawn neared, the remains left the cemetery. What
:03:30. > :03:34.secrets they reveal could lead to fresh legal action. One Greek medic
:03:34. > :03:41.has already been kin Victored of manslaughter. The family hope he
:03:41. > :03:46.won't be the last. I don't think I've really grieved yet for him.
:03:46. > :03:56.There's not a day goes by that I don't think about him and how we've
:03:56. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:05.been treated and he was treated. Just impossible to comprehend.
:04:05. > :04:11.A woman who shouted "Bangkok "at the police manned who was blinded
:04:11. > :04:17.by Raoul Moat faces jail. She pleaded guilty to a charge of using
:04:17. > :04:26.threatening and abusive behaviour. PC Rathband told us her actions
:04:26. > :04:29.caused him and his family great distress. Kelsey Donkin came to
:04:29. > :04:33.Newcastle Magistrates' Court this morning facing trial for her public
:04:33. > :04:37.order offence but changed her plea to guilty. She committed the crime
:04:37. > :04:42.outside another court out, Newcastle Crown Court in March this
:04:42. > :04:48.year. PC David Rathband was attending the trial of the two men
:04:48. > :04:55.who assisted Raoul Moat which included the shooting and blinding
:04:55. > :05:01.of PC Rathband. She shouted Bangkok while pretending to hold hold a
:05:01. > :05:05.shotgun. The prosecutor outlined the case. In a statement from PC
:05:05. > :05:10.Rathband he said he'd never experienced maliciousness or
:05:10. > :05:15.hostility up to that point. It made him feel sick to the stomach. He
:05:15. > :05:20.felt very sad and vulnerable. Echoing that, the chairman of the
:05:20. > :05:25.befrpb said to Donkin, you caused horrific distress to PC Rathband, a
:05:25. > :05:30.victim who was extremely vulnerable. There's no mitigation for what you
:05:30. > :05:36.did. It was draid ful having spent the time -- dreadful having spent
:05:36. > :05:39.the time at count court. The affect she had on me, I had to go home.
:05:39. > :05:45.Hopefully she'll realise one day her little joke had a devastating
:05:45. > :05:51.affect not only on me but my wife and my children. To make Kelsey
:05:51. > :05:56.Donkin's crime even more upsetting for PC wrath band, her court case
:05:56. > :06:00.comes days before the anniversary of Raoul Moat's attacks. It is a
:06:00. > :06:06.difficult time for my wife. I try my best not to think about it and
:06:06. > :06:09.get on with what I'm trying to achieve with my charity. My wife's
:06:09. > :06:14.having difficulty at the moment trying to deal with the memories of
:06:14. > :06:18.what I did the day, the week before. We'll get there. You have a book
:06:18. > :06:24.coming out, is that right? Yeah, I think it is out on 4th. It is my
:06:24. > :06:28.opportunity to tell my story. There's been lots of comen eighters
:06:28. > :06:32.trying to tell me story. But this is my story. I'm grateful I've had
:06:32. > :06:37.the opportunity to get the story out. That's the end of it for me. I
:06:37. > :06:44.have to start looking forward, if you'll pardon the pun. How do you
:06:44. > :06:48.feel buying forward? It is tough. I have bad days. Hopefully, when I'm
:06:49. > :06:58.busy doing my chair itable work, going to schools, it replaces some
:06:59. > :07:05.
:07:06. > :07:09.Look North has learned a team of specialist doctors have walked out
:07:09. > :07:14.of their jobs. It is unclear why the dermatologists left their jobs
:07:14. > :07:17.at County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust. The medical team, including
:07:17. > :07:21.consultants, were based at Sunderland Royal hospital but
:07:21. > :07:28.served over a million people across South Tyneside, Wearside, County
:07:28. > :07:31.Durham and darplg ton. Sharon, do we know why they left? We don't
:07:31. > :07:36.know why they've left. There are a lot of stories. I understand
:07:36. > :07:39.there's been a dispute at Sunderland Royal over how the
:07:39. > :07:44.dermatology service was being developed. There's a great deal of
:07:44. > :07:48.change at the NHS throughout the NHS at the minute. A lot of talk
:07:48. > :07:52.about centralising specialist services. We don't not sure why
:07:52. > :07:57.they've walked out. They were not just treating patients at
:07:57. > :08:02.Sunderland Royal hospital? No, the dermatology team were treating
:08:02. > :08:06.patients across Sunderland. Over a million patients, South Tyneside,
:08:06. > :08:11.Wearside, County Durham and University of north Durham hospital.
:08:11. > :08:17.How important is this dermatology service here? Other doctors say
:08:17. > :08:23.dermatology is a vital service to hospitals. These doctors treat
:08:23. > :08:29.patients with anything from skin cancer, inflamed skin and numerous
:08:29. > :08:34.skin diseases. What are the trust saying? The trust provided me with
:08:34. > :08:38.a statement saying the services provided by the trusts. It is very
:08:38. > :08:41.unfortunate some members of the dermatology department in
:08:41. > :08:45.Sunderland have decided to leave the service. We're confident we
:08:45. > :08:48.have arrangements in place to ensure it is business as uerpbl for
:08:48. > :08:54.our patients and they will continue to get the high quality care that
:08:54. > :08:58.they need and expect. They also say, they've written to inform GPs about
:08:58. > :09:02.the issue and are writing to patients now whose appointments are
:09:02. > :09:07.being affected. So, they've lost four people. Who will replace them.
:09:07. > :09:15.We also found out today, this job add vert izment has come into the
:09:15. > :09:20.system. -- advertisement. It is for four dermatologists with a salary
:09:20. > :09:26.of up to �100,000 each. The start date is as soon as possible.
:09:26. > :09:32.Thank you. Figures released this afternoon show it has cost the
:09:32. > :09:36.council tax payers lplgs �220,000 to investigate the condict of North
:09:36. > :09:40.Yorkshire Chief Constable Graham Maxwell. That's on top of the
:09:40. > :09:48.�100,000 the police complaints investigation spent on its
:09:48. > :09:52.investigation. Grahame Maxwell avoided sacking and was given a
:09:52. > :09:57.final written warning. I didn't realise at the time I was doing
:09:57. > :10:02.anything wrong. I should have seen how other people would view it.
:10:02. > :10:06.Aapologised for that. Charles Hendry has been in Hartlepool
:10:06. > :10:14.looking at the potential for the town took a centre for renewable
:10:14. > :10:18.energy y. He was told that companies will not be making big
:10:18. > :10:24.investments until the Government gives reassurances they'll get
:10:24. > :10:30.returns on it. The Government's commitment to reduce carbon
:10:30. > :10:32.emissions is not thought to be a big enough incentive. If you're
:10:32. > :10:37.making a multimillion investment you have to know there's a market
:10:37. > :10:43.there for many years. We've said stop talking about Twenty20, let's
:10:43. > :10:48.talks about what we need tor for 2030 and 2040 so investors know
:10:48. > :10:54.there will be a 20 or 30 years outlook which is important.
:10:54. > :11:00.Scientists in Newcastle have made a major breakthrough in an am bix
:11:00. > :11:07.quest to find a different source of energy. A borehole has finally
:11:07. > :11:11.reached hot water. The plan is to camtuer -- capture it and heats
:11:11. > :11:15.local buildings. Frplt It is a rare sight in a city centre and it's
:11:15. > :11:20.hard work. For four months, this drill has gone deeper and deeper
:11:20. > :11:26.into the earth's crust passing fossils over 300 million years old.
:11:27. > :11:31.Now, it's hit the jackpot. Steaming hot water has finally been found.
:11:31. > :11:37.The scientists are thrilled. Absolutely over the moon. It's been
:11:37. > :11:42.a long time coming. It is as low carbon as it can get. The carbon
:11:42. > :11:50.footprint of this operation ends the day the drilling finished s.
:11:51. > :11:56.The drill carries on to 2000 metres below Newcastle. After sandstone,
:11:56. > :12:00.the borehole reaches water up to 80 degrees Celsius it. Will then be
:12:00. > :12:06.pufrpbed back to the surface. It is an ambitious project which has
:12:06. > :12:09.captured the imagination of local schoolchildren. Coal's not a
:12:09. > :12:12.renewable substance. Back there is because they can get water from the
:12:12. > :12:16.core of the earth which is really hot. REPORTER: What do you think of
:12:16. > :12:20.that? It is good. I'm really interested in science. And history.
:12:20. > :12:24.It is look like puting it together. It is really good. Once the
:12:24. > :12:29.university has heated one of its own buildings, hundreds of local
:12:29. > :12:33.homes and some businesses could follow. But first, scientists must
:12:33. > :12:40.test the sandstone which insulates the water underground. That work
:12:40. > :12:44.will be finished by September. Has to be the way ahead.
:12:44. > :12:50.Theatre students and the public will be able to access the archives
:12:50. > :13:00.of skr borough playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn. Hs work has been
:13:00. > :13:04.translated into 30 languages. It will make all his work accessible
:13:04. > :13:11.to the public. A group of primary school children
:13:11. > :13:15.had an extended day trip today when they were cut off by the sea. They
:13:15. > :13:25.were visited St Mary's Island when there seems to have been a mix-up
:13:25. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:30.over the tide tables. It s worth reminding ourselves St Mary's
:13:30. > :13:34.Island is accessible via a causeway. It is clear at the moment. Until
:13:34. > :13:38.just after 3.00 this afternoon, it was completely covered by North Sea.
:13:38. > :13:44.It is not entirely clear what went on today. There are several
:13:44. > :13:49.versions of events here depending on who you ask. North Tyneside
:13:49. > :13:53.Council says the tide came in later than expected meaning the school
:13:53. > :13:59.children could not leave at the anticipated time. The coastguard
:13:59. > :14:01.says the children were stuck on the island. Blyth coastguard were on
:14:01. > :14:06.patrol. There was a group of children on the island. The tide
:14:06. > :14:10.was on its way in. Spoke to the school group. Were able to take
:14:10. > :14:15.some of the group off. It was deemed the safest thing to do was
:14:15. > :14:20.leave the rest of the group on the island. We've had lifeguards from
:14:20. > :14:24.the lifeguard base at Whitley Bay come along. They've gone on to the
:14:24. > :14:28.island and kept the kids calm. Everyone has been perfectly safe
:14:28. > :14:34.and happy. We've been able to walk them off when the tide refreeted
:14:34. > :14:38.enough. When were they planning to come off. There was some confusion
:14:38. > :14:44.about high tide time. They thought they would be able to get off at
:14:44. > :14:48.1.00 which was high water was 1.30. Any time between 12 and 3, the
:14:48. > :14:52.causeway was unpassable. North Tyneside Council sent a
:14:52. > :14:56.representative to the scene. He refused to say anything at all as
:14:56. > :15:01.did the head teacher of the school who may or may not have been
:15:01. > :15:05.expected to turn up anyway. It is worth pointing out regarding this
:15:05. > :15:12.claim the tide came in later than expected, the tides are regulated
:15:12. > :15:17.by the moon. They are predictable and are used to predict timetables.
:15:17. > :15:23.On which it is printed in British Summer Time you need to add an hour
:15:23. > :15:29.to the printed time. More news and the sport still to
:15:29. > :15:35.come: Too much to bare-the- roadworks which have brought one
:15:35. > :15:39.town to breaking point. And as the heat wave, gives way to
:15:39. > :15:46.fresh fresher weather, I'll have a full weather forecast later in the
:15:46. > :15:52.programme. The future of a Ford that's an
:15:52. > :15:55.important short cut for people in Weardale could be decided at a
:15:55. > :15:59.public inquiry. Stanhope Ford was temporarily closed three years ago
:15:59. > :16:09.after 23 incidents in ten years involving drivers who tried to
:16:09. > :16:10.
:16:10. > :16:16.cross it when water levels were too high. Closures to make it perm nand
:16:16. > :16:20.-- talks to make the closure permanent have not gone down well.
:16:20. > :16:24.It is said you shouldn't cross when the stepping stones are under water.
:16:24. > :16:28.There have always been those who were wary and those who weren't.
:16:28. > :16:34.Where we've had people twieing to cross the Ford in difficult
:16:34. > :16:38.conditions when the rivers's been in flood, vehicles have been washed
:16:38. > :16:42.away or people are having to manifest a rescue. We could result
:16:42. > :16:47.in a death of a individual or people driving across the Ford in
:16:47. > :16:51.an inappropriate time. On a warm summer's day like today, the
:16:51. > :16:56.water's only a couple of inches deep. It is almost a pleasure to
:16:56. > :16:59.get your feet wet. But the council says the danger of flash floods
:16:59. > :17:04.sweeping from the Pennines up there is becoming not just more likely
:17:04. > :17:09.but more unpredictable. But those supporting the closure plan are out
:17:09. > :17:12.numbered by those opposing it. It very much stacksed up as the
:17:12. > :17:17.emergency services and the council against the local people. Though,
:17:17. > :17:23.even here, view are mixed. It is very dangerous. I've seen numerous
:17:23. > :17:28.cars turned over and wedged in the loch. I've each seen them halfway
:17:28. > :17:31.down the stream. It is basically a judgment call. If you think it is
:17:31. > :17:36.too flooded you drive round. good folk of Stanhope say people
:17:36. > :17:39.came from miles around just to drive through the Ford. And it is a
:17:39. > :17:47.tourist atrx in its own right. There's an online campaign to save
:17:47. > :17:49.it. Our proposed solution is not to close it but to have a barrier
:17:50. > :17:54.system based on the speed and height of the river would allow
:17:54. > :18:01.people to cross when it is safe. Councillors meet tomorrow to decide
:18:01. > :18:05.whether the public inquiry should be carried out.
:18:05. > :18:12.Here's another problem for motorists. Roadworks. The bane of
:18:12. > :18:16.the motorists' life. In one Cumbrian town, two sets are causing
:18:16. > :18:21.huge tailbacks. The problem's so bad in Penrith, protests are
:18:21. > :18:26.planned. Peak time in Penrith and it is nose-to-tail. Journeys that
:18:26. > :18:30.should take minutes are taking ten times that. Work to complete two
:18:30. > :18:35.new supermarkets in the town has caused a number of road closures.
:18:35. > :18:40.Taxi drivers reckon these closures are causing a huge drop in custom.
:18:40. > :18:44.They are just feeling fed up with everything. Some taxis have had to
:18:44. > :18:51.ask their customers to leave the taxi because they've trains to
:18:51. > :18:58.catch. Taxi fairs fares are going from the minimum charge, �2.306789
:18:58. > :19:04.people are now having to pay between �7 or �8. While some shops
:19:04. > :19:10.here in Brunswick Road are reporting a drop in business of 50%
:19:10. > :19:17.due to a lack of pausing trade. Ullswater Road is being brought do
:19:17. > :19:21.a virtual standstill frplt It is chaos trying to get round town at
:19:21. > :19:25.certain times of the day. A lot of business is down in trade. You
:19:25. > :19:28.wonder how long that can continue and how long we can hang on to
:19:28. > :19:32.these small businesses which are the life blood of Penrith.
:19:32. > :19:38.Permission for the works to take place at the same time has been
:19:38. > :19:43.given by Cumbria County Council. It said while some traffic disruption
:19:43. > :19:47.was being called, the long-term benefits outweighed any short-term
:19:47. > :19:56.inconvenience. Not everybody in Penrith agrees. A protest is being
:19:56. > :20:01.led by the taxi drivers outside the town hall tomorrow afternoon.
:20:01. > :20:04.Doesn't it drive you mad! It was a very busy sporting weekend
:20:04. > :20:10.this weekend. Lots of big events taking place in our region. You
:20:10. > :20:14.were in one. The Sunderland 10 K and you're still standing which is
:20:14. > :20:18.impressive. When I saw the temperatures I was worried. I made
:20:18. > :20:24.it round. Great event, great support. Wish it had been a little
:20:24. > :20:30.cooler. Much more on that coming up. First, cycling. In his final outing
:20:30. > :20:34.before the Tour de France on Saturday, Bradley Wiggins won the
:20:34. > :20:38.National Road Race Championships in Northumberland. It was an event
:20:38. > :20:46.which is sure to have increased the region's sporting profile.
:20:47. > :20:53.The road to success to and from Saddam Stamford was a long win. A
:20:53. > :20:58.hilly 125 mile course. Wiggins and scam Team Sky took the placings.
:20:58. > :21:05.The Olympic champion Nicole Cooke was undone by Lizzie Armistead who
:21:05. > :21:14.won after a four woman sprent at the end of the 65 miles. The influx
:21:14. > :21:18.of koch competitors, and teams changed the village life. Car
:21:18. > :21:22.parking charges are helping to pay for a new church roof. Everything
:21:22. > :21:28.has to happen somewhere. Why not our village. It is beautiful. Huge
:21:28. > :21:36.for cyclists in the local area. Lots of people come cycling just
:21:36. > :21:41.for fun, adventure. It is great. One of the biggest events in the
:21:41. > :21:47.North East sporting calendar, the Northumberland Plate took place at
:21:47. > :21:51.Newcastle Racecourse. Over 26,000 racegoers turned up at High
:21:51. > :21:55.Gosforth Park. Many in their glad rags. Among them will have been
:21:55. > :22:04.some happy punters as the afternoon showpiece race, the Pitmen's Derby
