:00:03. > :00:06.Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. Tonight: Anger and
:00:06. > :00:14.disgust from a dead soldier's family over newspaper phone hacking
:00:14. > :00:17.allegations. Brace yourself for change. The warning that children's
:00:17. > :00:20.dental services could be hit by reforms to the NHS. Millionaire's
:00:20. > :00:26.row. We join an exclusive gathering of some of the North's biggest
:00:26. > :00:30.lottery winners. And the extraordinary shrine to the Chuckle
:00:30. > :00:33.Brothers. Why this man is such a big fan of the popular children's
:00:33. > :00:38.entertainers. In sport, more new signings for Sunderland, on and off
:00:38. > :00:48.the pitch. And a big weekend for cricket fans as Durham and
:00:48. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:59.Yorkshire go head to head in back to back Twenty20s. "If it's true,
:00:59. > :01:03.they're the lowest of the low." That was the reaction of the father
:01:03. > :01:06.of a murdered soldier, after claims the News of the World may have
:01:06. > :01:12.hacked the phones of servicemen's From Washington, was killed by a
:01:12. > :01:16.mob in Iraq. And while's there's no evidence his family were targeted,
:01:16. > :01:18.it's alleged others in the military might have been. A Tyneside
:01:18. > :01:24.survivor of the London bombings has confirmed police investigating the
:01:24. > :01:27.hacking claims have been in contact with her. Peter Harris reports. Six
:01:27. > :01:36.years go today. The day that changed Lisa's life. She survived
:01:36. > :01:39.the bombing of a London bus. Now it's emerged some victims' families
:01:39. > :01:47.were targeted by newspaper phone hackers. The police have written to
:01:47. > :01:51.her, too. I peel angry that those born numbers have been found and
:01:52. > :01:57.that data, whether or not the they were listened to they should never
:01:57. > :02:03.have been in the position of the use of the world. It is possible
:02:03. > :02:08.that Lisa's fallen there was hacked, but like others, just the
:02:08. > :02:12.suggestion is distressing. Among the fresh allegations is that the
:02:12. > :02:15.families of dead servicemen and women have also had their
:02:15. > :02:18.telephones hat, although there is no proof of that. More than 40
:02:18. > :02:22.soldiers from the north-east and Cumbria have died in Iraq and
:02:22. > :02:32.Afghanistan. The families of those concerned say that if it was proved,
:02:32. > :02:37.it would add to their distress. this happens, every other person is
:02:37. > :02:43.going through, and we were a huge crutch to each other, so if you
:02:43. > :02:49.think, somebody was listening in to that emotional trauma that you're
:02:49. > :02:57.going through, it does not bear thinking about. John's son Simon
:02:57. > :03:00.was among three army Redcaps from this region killed by a mob in Iraq.
:03:00. > :03:03.Mr Miller stresses the police investigating hacking have not
:03:03. > :03:08.spoken to him and he's unaware of other families in this region being
:03:08. > :03:12.potential targets. Those are the local media are appalled by the
:03:12. > :03:16.hacking scandal. One of the things that makes me sad about this affair,
:03:16. > :03:21.is that we all get tarred with the same brush, because people talk
:03:21. > :03:31.about the press, but 95% of the press are newspapers like the
:03:31. > :03:32.
:03:32. > :03:38.Northern Echo, that are embedded in their communities. Dictums like bus
:03:38. > :03:44.storm victim these are unlikely to Mr News of the World when it closes.
:03:44. > :03:54.-- people like bus bomb victim least are unlikely to miss the News
:03:54. > :03:57.of the World when it closes. Thousands of children, receiving
:03:57. > :04:01.dental work to correct crooked, teeth may have to change dentist in
:04:01. > :04:03.the middle of their treatment - because of a shake-up in NHS
:04:03. > :04:07.contracts. Orthodontic work - which involves fitting braces to
:04:07. > :04:10.straighten children's front teeth - is free on the NHS, if the patient
:04:10. > :04:14.is under 18. But dentists who provide the service will have to
:04:14. > :04:17.compete for new contracts from September. And if they fail to win
:04:17. > :04:20.one, the children they work with may have to travel many miles for
:04:20. > :04:23.treatment. Young people can be painfully conscious of their
:04:23. > :04:26.appearance. Which is why they're prepared to endure the discomfort
:04:26. > :04:30.and discipline of wearing braces to give them that perfect smile. The
:04:30. > :04:33.course of treatment can last for two years or more. But three out of
:04:33. > :04:36.the four specialist orthodontists north of the Tyne have NHS
:04:36. > :04:38.contracts that expire in just nine months time. You are seeing the
:04:39. > :04:41.patient or the best part of two- and-a-half years. You have only got
:04:41. > :04:45.one year of treatment being paid for. What do you do for the next
:04:45. > :04:49.few months? Whatever way you are seeing the patient, you always come
:04:49. > :04:51.out as the fall-guy. So why are established orthodontists,
:04:51. > :04:54.including this practice in Newcastle which has been treating
:04:54. > :04:57.children and teenagers for more than 20 years, having to compete
:04:57. > :05:01.for NHS cash now? Well, new dental contracts were introduced five
:05:01. > :05:05.years ago. Five years on, each practice got a new contract - but
:05:05. > :05:08.only for a year Because the local NHS is putting three five-year
:05:08. > :05:10.contracts out to tender in September. They will start in April
:05:10. > :05:13.2012, and any qualified orthodontist can bid for the work.
:05:13. > :05:17.Which means that big dental companies could tender the lowest
:05:17. > :05:20.prices per patient and win those three contracts for north of the
:05:20. > :05:24.Tyne. This company, NEO, won the other five-year contract for north
:05:24. > :05:27.of Tyne last September. Its main practice is in Ashington, so the
:05:27. > :05:30.future for young patients from Tyneside could be lengthy trips up
:05:30. > :05:34.to Northumberland every six weeks, if their current orthodontist does
:05:34. > :05:41.not win a new contract. The new body that awards NHS contracts to
:05:41. > :05:46.dentists is called the North East Primary Care Services Agency. They
:05:46. > :05:50.would not provide an interviewee but they did give me a statement.
:05:50. > :05:52.They said: "We would like to strongly reassure patients
:05:52. > :05:55.currently receiving orthodontic treatment that their treatment will
:05:55. > :06:02.continue, either with their current provider or with a new
:06:02. > :06:08.orthodontist." Earlier I spoke to Richard Jones of the British
:06:08. > :06:13.Orthodontic Society. I asked him if it really mattered that young
:06:13. > :06:19.people might have to change dentist in the middle of their treatment.
:06:19. > :06:24.All orthodontists in the UK are highly trained but use different
:06:24. > :06:27.types of braces. It is difficult treating a patient who has been
:06:27. > :06:32.used -- who has been treated by someone else, perhaps using a brace
:06:32. > :06:37.that you would not have used. So moving is not ideal for the
:06:37. > :06:41.orthodontist, or or the patient. Should orthodontics still be
:06:41. > :06:49.available only better under the 18s? It has been restricted in the
:06:49. > :06:52.last five years to patients who have a demonstrable health need.
:06:52. > :06:58.There is an index through the country to identify those cases
:06:58. > :07:02.which need treatment on a health basis rather than a cosmetic basis
:07:02. > :07:08.postop about one-third of their tour of year-olds would be deemed
:07:08. > :07:18.to have a health issue as well as a cosmetic issue, so it is a
:07:18. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:24.worthwhile use of NHS funds. woman's in hospital with head
:07:25. > :07:28.injuries, after she was attacked near a school by a man, armed with
:07:28. > :07:31.a hammer. Officers were called to the car park area outside Burradon
:07:31. > :07:34.Primary School in North Tyneside around midday. The 21 year-old
:07:34. > :07:37.woman's injuries are not said to be life threatening. A 23 year-old
:07:37. > :07:40.man's been arrested. And a man has appeared in court in connection
:07:41. > :07:44.with the discovery of a suspect package in County Durham. Police
:07:44. > :07:47.carried out a controlled explosion after the package was found at
:07:47. > :07:50.Coral Betting in Annfield Plain on Tuesday. Daniel Staples, who's 20

:08:10. > :08:16.is part of a week of events raising awareness. All this week, Look
:08:16. > :08:19.North is marking "Transplant Week." We've filmed exclusively inside the
:08:19. > :08:23.country's first transplant hospital here in the North. We've heard from
:08:23. > :08:26.a father who donated his wife and daughter's organs after a tragic
:08:26. > :08:30.car accident. And we've seen a transplant surgeon at work. Today
:08:30. > :08:32.we meet one of the most important people in the transplant world, the
:08:32. > :08:37.Transplant Co-ordinator. Our health reporter Sharon Barbour joins us
:08:37. > :08:43.now live from the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. Yes, I am here in war
:08:43. > :08:48.23 at Freeman Hospital, and very busy it is, too. I have some
:08:48. > :08:53.youngsters behind me, I'll have a quick word with them later. First,
:08:53. > :08:57.we can find out more about the transplant co-ordinator. She is
:08:57. > :09:07.extremely busy, getting or gives to those desperately ill patients who
:09:07. > :09:14.
:09:14. > :09:24.need them. This is it being the life of a transplant co-ordinator.
:09:24. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:29.-- day in the life. Lynne's day starts with a bittersweet task. A
:09:29. > :09:34.gift has arrived for a little girl who's had a heart transplant.
:09:34. > :09:44.mentioned that he would like for this little most to dance again,
:09:44. > :09:48.
:09:48. > :09:56.this boy, I think it is always on his mind but now even more so. So,
:09:56. > :09:59.he wants you to have this. Overnight the news came in that
:09:59. > :10:03.someone else has donated their loved one's organs.. And a man
:10:03. > :10:09.dying of lung disease has just heard the news that he may be about
:10:09. > :10:19.to undergo a double lung transplant. Hello, my darling. Did you wake him
:10:19. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:31.up? Not a very donor is perfect, so if there are any questions you have
:10:31. > :10:35.about the donor, and we do take smokers' lungs. She also spends
:10:35. > :10:38.time on the ward with children - waiting to hear a vital organ has
:10:38. > :10:45.arrived to give them a future, too. For the Rainbow, you have to have
:10:45. > :10:55.the sunshine and the rain. They are the Sunshine on the side of this
:10:55. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:00.rainbow. Take care. Appears a day filled with highs and lows - was
:11:01. > :11:09.that an ordinary day? Yes, we never know what we're going to find when
:11:09. > :11:15.we walked in the door, in the morning. I was moved by the gift
:11:15. > :11:20.from the father of that daughter who died to the other chair. It is
:11:20. > :11:25.a real roller-coaster of being part of that transplant team, and for
:11:25. > :11:32.all of the families. How is that patients who was having their lung
:11:32. > :11:36.transplant? He's getting ready for theatre. He is now being starved,
:11:36. > :11:42.and he is ready but we still don't know if belongs are going to be
:11:42. > :11:47.good for him. What is the message that you as a transplant co-
:11:47. > :11:51.ordinator would like to get across to people watching at home? If they
:11:51. > :11:57.can stop and have that conversation after the programme and say to
:11:57. > :12:07.their family, when I go, if it is before you, let them use my organs
:12:07. > :12:07.
:12:07. > :12:11.and then, more lives will be saved. I want to introduce you to two
:12:11. > :12:17.little ones who would benefit from a transplant. What are you waiting
:12:17. > :12:25.for? A heart transplant. How are you getting on? Very well, thank
:12:25. > :12:35.you. Are you beating Brad us at this game? I think Paris does not
:12:35. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:41.want to start -- of his game, but we have got more on Pavis tomorrow.
:12:41. > :12:45.For most of us winning the lottery is a dream that will never become a
:12:45. > :12:48.reality. But somebody's got to win, and today, more than 20 Lotto
:12:48. > :12:51.millionaires gathered at an exclusive garden party in County
:12:51. > :12:54.Durham to celebrate their good fortune. More than �700 million has
:12:54. > :13:02.been paid out in big money prizes since the Lottery started in 1994.
:13:02. > :13:04.Julie Smith reports. Who wants to be a millionaire? Well they are
:13:05. > :13:08.already, and that's why they're here. They're celebrating being
:13:08. > :13:16.lottery millionaires. Mark Broodnell from Stockton won 14
:13:16. > :13:19.years ago. It changes your lifestyle one give you an
:13:19. > :13:29.opportunity to do things you want to do with your life, holidays,
:13:29. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:33.houses, everything we all dream of, just trumpeting �1 on. -- just from
:13:34. > :13:37.putting �1 on. And life's easier for these two friends. Their small
:13:37. > :13:41.syndicate won over �10 million last January. Pat is building a house.
:13:41. > :13:45.And Julie has bought a villa in Spain. Sometimes you just look and
:13:45. > :13:55.pink, I have got this much money in the bank, but I have gone back to
:13:55. > :14:01.
:14:01. > :14:05.work. You got one, you've got two, three, four. Norma and Michael
:14:05. > :14:09.Eggleston won four years ago in March 2007. It is nice talking to
:14:09. > :14:18.people who have been through what we have been through who understand
:14:18. > :14:22.it. No fancy cars? No. Have you got the yacht? No, we did not win that
:14:22. > :14:32.much! Nothing too fancy then, but they do enjoy not working. And for
:14:32. > :14:35.
:14:35. > :14:39.the rest of us, well we can still dream. Now - I hope you've got your
:14:39. > :14:42.walking boots handy for this next film. For Grundy's North this week,
:14:42. > :14:46.we've sent John on a climbing expedition. And it's quite a tough
:14:46. > :14:56.climb into a town's history - up the famous 199 steps of the
:14:56. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:08.headland at Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast. 199 steps up of me,
:15:08. > :15:14.here, but I am going to climbdown. I have heard about people trying to
:15:14. > :15:19.cycle up them, but I am going to walk up very slowly, stopping at
:15:19. > :15:25.regular intervals to try and enjoy the view. And what a view it is.
:15:25. > :15:29.Climbing up through the houses, you see that Whitby is a tightly packed
:15:29. > :15:32.medieval town with the houses huddled together and clinging to
:15:33. > :15:40.the steep sides of the valley, which makes for some very exciting
:15:40. > :15:50.says. The wonderful piers, and the White House - I wonder if any pound,
:15:50. > :15:52.
:15:52. > :15:57.anywhere, has got a better view? -- Light House. Climbing higher, I am
:15:57. > :16:04.looking down on the ropes, all made of bright, orange Pantiles,
:16:04. > :16:10.originally brought from Holland, and only used in Britain along a
:16:10. > :16:15.narrow strip of the East Coast. Usually when you us -- exploring an
:16:15. > :16:20.ancient town you have to dig deep downwards to get to the oldest
:16:20. > :16:26.parts, but in Whitby, the opposite is the case, you have to rise up a
:16:26. > :16:31.of the town to reach their head land at one which the police
:16:31. > :16:36.started. In the 17th century a shepherd live in the Anglo-Saxon
:16:36. > :16:45.monastery here, and he was the first pope in the English language.
:16:45. > :16:50.He began, a man must praise the guardian of heaven's built. And St
:16:50. > :16:56.Hilda is crushing snakes behind -- beneath her feet. In those days,
:16:56. > :17:01.people did not understand fossils and thought they was Max makes. And
:17:01. > :17:07.St Hilda got the reputation as the one who destroyed them. If I had
:17:07. > :17:12.about a week I might have a chance to do justice to all of the things
:17:12. > :17:17.that are up here, I could enthuse about St Mary's Church, for example.
:17:17. > :17:21.It is unlike any other in England. The insiders very odd. Some people
:17:21. > :17:27.disapproved of it. I have a book at home that says there is nothing
:17:27. > :17:32.beautiful about it - it is just a museum, a hotchpotch, and it is a
:17:32. > :17:36.jumble of things that have been thrown away in other judges,
:17:36. > :17:42.because there are box pews with little doors, and the pulpit is
:17:42. > :17:47.astonishing, towering above everything. It is just a mish-mash,
:17:47. > :17:55.but it is also lovable, and I cannot imagine anybody not liking
:17:55. > :17:59.it. And then there is the Abbey, at the top of the hill. It was the
:17:59. > :18:04.success of to the monastery of St Hilda. It was built in the 14th
:18:04. > :18:09.century. If he ended a have not got rid of the monasteries, we would
:18:09. > :18:15.not have any room judges, and England would be a poorer place,
:18:15. > :18:25.because this is sublime. It is just so beautiful. A glorious run on a
:18:25. > :18:26.
:18:26. > :18:36.wonderful headland, up of a charming medieval town. -- up of --
:18:36. > :18:36.
:18:36. > :18:40.above. Now, when does being a fan of something go a bit too far? For
:18:40. > :18:44.example, how would you feel if your husband or wife turned one of your
:18:44. > :18:48.bedrooms into a shrine? And what if it was a shrine to the Chuckle
:18:48. > :18:51.Brothers? One man in County Durham has done just that, and Damian
:18:51. > :18:59.O'Neil has been along to meet him. Here we are, welcome to the Chuckle
:18:59. > :19:04.run. How long have you been doing this? I have been collecting
:19:04. > :19:12.chuckle Brothers memorabilia are for about 10 or 11 years. Round the
:19:12. > :19:17.bend, good old slapstick, custard pie, all good, family fund. Have
:19:17. > :19:22.you got anything strange? I have got the chuckle Brothers browsers,
:19:22. > :19:26.the original trousers from chuckle vision, from the 1980s. These are
:19:26. > :19:33.the trousers they used to wear. They will not fit me. Have you
:19:33. > :19:40.tried them on? I can only get one leg in! Is this an obsession? Do
:19:40. > :19:50.you feel that you need help? It is just a daft hobby. Some people take
:19:50. > :19:50.
:19:50. > :19:57.-- collect stuff about Take That!. Has he been like this as long as
:19:57. > :20:04.you have known them? And you have stayed with him? Yes, he gets to
:20:04. > :20:11.kiss to go and see them on Mother's Day. And does he do things to make
:20:11. > :20:15.up to you for having this hobby? has taken us for a weekend away, a
:20:15. > :20:23.romantic weekend away, in Scarborough, and then I would have
:20:23. > :20:31.to go and see the chuckle Brothers! You have filled this room. Spread
:20:31. > :20:35.out through the House. I have got a nice big poster that goes up above
:20:35. > :20:45.the back of my bed. I might just sneak it up there will she is not
:20:45. > :20:52.
:20:52. > :21:02.looking! I am lost for words. I have got to say, from me, to you.

:21:04. > :21:07.Sports news now Last night we exclusively revealed there'd been
:21:07. > :21:11.Board room changes at Sunderland: Margaret Byrne was confirmed as the
:21:11. > :21:14.club's new chief executive today. The legendary Bryan "Pop" Robson is
:21:14. > :21:17.their new chief scout. And Steve Bruce is making more changes to the
:21:17. > :21:21.playing staff. New signings, and those very close to joining the
:21:21. > :21:24.Black Cats, could take his summer purchases to 11. Enough to form a
:21:24. > :21:26.new team. Keith Akehurst reports. The latest player to commit to
:21:26. > :21:30.Steve Bruce's revolution is Manchester United defender Wes
:21:30. > :21:32.Brown. He signed today after he passed a medical last night. His
:21:32. > :21:38.Old Trafford team-mate and Republic of Ireland international John
:21:38. > :21:41.O'Shea had his today. He signed half an hour ago. The club is still
:21:41. > :21:44.working on bringing in United midfielder Darron Gibson. The three
:21:44. > :21:48.players were the subject of a combined �12 million bid last month
