Hello, and welcome to Look North. Coming up. The end of Southern | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
Cross care homes. But is that the end of uncertainty for residents | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
and their relatives? A mother is warned she could be | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
jailed for leaving her three children in a baking hot car. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |

two North-East footballers to avoid It is the end of the line for | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Southern Cross care homes. The Darlington-based company cares for | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
more than 30,000 people in their homes, thousands of them in our | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
region. But after months of uncertainty over its financial | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
stability, Southern Cross has announced it is closing. So what | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
does the future hold now for its residents and their relatives? Our | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
:01:20. | :01:20. | ||
business correspondent, Ian Reeve, joins us now. Ian. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
It is obviously not good news with the winding up of the company, but | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
it is a much better scenario than what we could have seen and it | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
brings a degree of certainty for residents and their relatives. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Jerry's Selby's wife Joyce has been in a Southern Cross home for seven | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
years and is one of the many relatives left not knowing what | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
could happen to their loved ones. Four weeks ago, it looked like the | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
company could go bust and the nightmare scenario was a redundancy | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
-- was redundancies and residents taken from their homes. We know it | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
happened, you may remember they said, we are no -- we have a | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
problem but we are not going to lay off staff and do this, we are going | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
to do this. Various things. If you weeks later, what happened? We are | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
laying off 3,000 people. Heck but now the landlords who owned the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Southern Cross homes are taking them back to run them themselves. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The Director of the company has given Gerry some assurances. | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
she said Joyce would never lose her place in that home. I known -- I | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
now know she will not. A Southern Cross has been brought down by two | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
things, it sold 750 homes and rented them back, getting caught | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
out in a falling market. And it suffered from a big reduction in | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
the fees local councils would pay for residents. But the company | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
since -- but the company insists looking after those residents is it | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
priority. It means the process we have been embarked upon for some | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
months of maintaining continuity of care will be achieved. And all our | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
landlords and lenders and other creditors have been very supportive | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
of the process which delivers that outcome. 250 homes are about to | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
imminently transfer back to their landlords. The remaining 500 will | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
follow, probably over the next four months. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Throughout this crisis, it is the relatives of people in Southern | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Cross homes who have been most affected by all the uncertainty | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
:03:34. | :03:37. | ||
over the future. There has been uncertainty for everyone, but it is | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
the relatives who perhaps have suffered most. Our reporter has | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
been to see and 83-year-old man. His wife, Grace, lives in a | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Southern Cross home, and I'll reporter has been to gauge his | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
reaction. -- our reporter. It has been an unsettling time lately for | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Peter Carle. His wife, Grace, a resident at Charlton House in | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Wallsend for the last 14 years. He woke up to today's news of a wind- | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
down. It is up in the air, there is nothing concrete, you wonder what | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
is going to happen. And when your wife is in there, you want her | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
looked after properly and do not know where it will end. I just hope | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
something can be sorted out and the patients can be left where they are. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Peter visits Grace five days a week. His concern is she doesn't move to | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
a hospital. He says visiting is too limited. He is hoping for answers | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
today. She might have some information, the matron, give us | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
some idea. The home wouldn't talk to us. But the Matron spoke with | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
Peter. The matron hasn't got a lot of information at the moment. Just | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
what she heard on the radio and over the great fine. But as far as | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
she is concerned, the home will be safe and not close, just taken over | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
by another company eventually. I want to come here and see Grace, | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
that would be lovely. So I am hoping it is what she says and it | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
will be all right. You mention the staff and | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
shareholders, what happens to them now? The staff have been assured | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
they will continue on their existing terms. Shareholders are | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
stuffed. Shares have been suspended today, just over 6p, and | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
shareholders will not get money back from the winding up of the | :05:35. | :05:45. | |
:05:45. | :05:49. | ||
company that was one -- that was once worth �1 billion. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
"This was a horrific and despicable crime against a much loved | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
grandfather.'' The words today of a senior police officer leading the | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
investigation into the death of Terry McGlade. Initially, it was | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
thought the 77-year-old pensioner died after a fire at his Redcar | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
bungalow. Then a post-mortem examination revelled he had been | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
assaulted. A 50-year-old man is being questioned by the police. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Stuart Whincup has the story. A much-loved grandfather, killed in | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
his own home. Detectives had thought Terry McGlade's death was | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
the result of a tragic accident. Now they say he was attacked. The | :06:15. | :06:25. | |
difficult question they are trying to answer is why? It is absolutely | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
despicable. Terry, at 77, a grandfather, a lovely man, by those | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
that know him. And well respected and well-liked within the local | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
community. How anybody could possibly want to hurt someone like | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
this is beyond me, this is the lowest of the low! For a third day | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
running, forensic officers remain at the property. A small quiet | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
community has become the scene of a major police investigation. Friends | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
and neighbours say they are still in shock. He was always there if | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
you had a problem. And I think it is sad that a man should reach that | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
:07:12. | :07:15. | ||
age and then ended like this. He was a nice guy and it is just sad. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Detectives say they are looking at the possibility that the fire was | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
started deliberately by the attacker in an attempt to destroy | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
evidence. This evening, a 50-year- old local man is still being | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
questioned by the police on suspicion of murder. | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
A 46-year-old man is being questioned on suspicion of | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
manslaughter after an incident in Dalston, near Carlisle, last night. | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
A 62-year-old man died after being injured at his home in Summerfields. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
The police were called by the ambulance service at around 8 | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
o'clock. A possible takeover of Northumbrian | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Water by a Hong Kong company has come a step closer. Northumbrian | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
Water has received a bid from CKI, valuing the firm at �2.4 billion. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
CKI has offered 465 pence a share, and Northumbrian Water has now | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
agreed to open its books to the firm for a limited period. | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
A Carlisle mother who left her three young children in a baking | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
hot car for 45 minutes has been warned she may go to jail. Kelly | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Marie Langham, who is 26, admitted ill-treating the children, who are | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
aged eight, five and two. Alison Freeman was there was at Carlisle | :08:16. | :08:25. | |
Magistrates Court. The court heard how a scenes of | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
crime investigator found the temperature in the car to have | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
reached a sweltering 40 degrees last Monday morning. And one | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
witness described how the baby strapped into the back of the car | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
was in an extremely distressed state, despite the efforts of one | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
of the older children to calm it down. The mother admitted three | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
counts of neglect here in Carlisle. She said she had parked the car in | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Chapel Street to go to a nearby cash converters, but a large queue | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
had held her up for 45 minutes, so the children were left alone. She | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
said she had no idea of the temperature it could reach in the | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
car. The defendant also admitted one count of possessing amphetamine, | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
a Class B drug, which she said recently she had turned to to lift | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
her spirits. The case was adjourned until August 1st when the defendant | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
will be sentenced for all those four charges. The lead magistrate | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
said he would not rule out a custodial sentence. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
A waste management company has been fined, after residents complained | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
about the smell of a rubbish dump. People living in Houghton-le-Spring | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
complained to the Environment Agency about the landfill site at | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Houghton Quarry, after finding the smell unbearable. The owners, Biffa, | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
admitted two environmental offences and were fined �27,000. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
A Tyneside park is getting a huge funding boost. Exhibition Park, in | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Newcastle, has won a grant of �2.4 million from the Heritage Lottery | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
Fund. It will be used to conserve the park's grade-two listed | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
bandstand, the boathouse and croquet pavilion. It is hoped local | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
people will be involved in designing and maintaining adventure | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
play areas. Work on a �2 million underpass has | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
ground to a halt, after it emerged that Network Rail don't own some of | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
the land. It actually belongs to a small church, which has owned it | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
for 50 years. Every day of the delay is costing Network Rail a | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
small fortune. It now wants to buy the land and the church, but their | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
journey is far from over. Sharuna Sagar reports. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
This is the pocket of land that is keeping Network Rail is out of | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
pocket They started work on a 25ft underpass, only to be stopped in | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:44. | ||
their tracks by a church. A were church members turned up on Sunday | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
in February and discovered all the trees cut down. Network Rail had | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
just come on without permission. They claimed they had the | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
permission of the council. They do not own the land, we do. And for | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
�10, a simple check with the Land Registry would have verified this. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Or they could have just asked Clive next door. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
We moved here in 1979 and I have known about the land ever since. I | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
knew it belonged to the church, yes. What do you think about this | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
situation? There has been a big mess up somewhere along the line by | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
:11:31. | :11:41. | ||
The tunnel is costing �1.8 million. Some people say that is a | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
Conservative estimate. But Network Rail has confirmed every day this | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
site stands idle is costing it thousands. And so to get the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
project back on line, Network Rail now wants to buy the land and the | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
church for �65,000. We do not think that is enough. It is a challenge | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
to take on a company the size of Network Rail. After all, we are | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
only a small group of people. We are not wealthy. It is a bit of a | :12:13. | :12:23. | |
:12:23. | :12:25. | ||
David and Goliath. But David one! - - but David won! So there could be | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
light at the end of this tunnel yet. Almost 70 years after the end of | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
the Second World War, the contribution of Canadian airmen | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
from North Yorkshire bases has finally been recognised. A monument | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
was dedicated at the National Memorial Arboretum to the sacrifice | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
of Canadians who flew bombers out of RAF Leeming and Linton on Ouse. | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
Danny Carpenter was there. With proper ceremony and in the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
right place, at a memorial to the men of the Royal Canadian Air Force | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
he flew in Bomber Command. Fantastic, beautiful memorial. I am | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
so pleased they have done that because they took a lot of stick | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
during the war and they did their part, they deserve a good memorial | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
like that. Many were based at RAF Leeming and Linton on Ouse, they | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
are remembered here, and that is why those serving here now raised | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
the money for the monument. Almost 70 years after the end of the war. | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
At long overdue, it yes, long overdue. I think we are at last | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
going to make some acknowledgement of the services of the Canadians | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
did during the war, came over here in droves. Good guys to fly with, | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
generous, brave. A barrel of the memorials, simple stones in perfect | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
formation in Harrogate cemetery -- there are other memorials. 600 | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Canadian m men who flew from here. Or memorials are important, but | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
this is noted by its absence. The contribution of the Canadians has | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
not been overlooked but in some ways not rated, so this is quite | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
this has been dedicated now. importance of the contribution of | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
those who have gone before is rarely lost on servicemen and women | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
today. They are like families and they have histories, histories | :14:19. | :14:28. | |
there are honoured. Coming up next, proof that money | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
does grow on trees. And later, a preview of the statue | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
of the country's first black footballer, that will soon have a | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
home in the North East. Weather Wise, not all plane sailing | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
but fairly quiet over the next few days. Join me later for the details. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
The Great Yorkshire Show begins tomorrow, and farmers and | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
horticulturalists all over the North are preparing for one of the | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
highlights of the agricultural calendar. Among them, a farm in | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
Northumberland that has an unusual specialism. It produces millions of | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
:15:08. | :15:09. | ||
trees. Keith Akehurst reports. Nestling next to the banks of the | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
river between Corbridge and Hexham, in the Tyne Valley, lies the most | :15:12. | :15:22. | |
:15:22. | :15:23. | ||
unusual farm. This looks like grass, it is not. There are about 1 | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
million conifer trees and when they have grown higher, they go off to | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
forests like this. There are 90 acres of trees in all. 100 | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
different varieties, from conifers to broadleaves, evergreen to | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
deciduous. From a few millimetres to a few metres in height. And this | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
coming winter, they plan to sell three million trees. It tends to be | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
farmers for farm woodlands, forestry for timber production, a | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
landscape trees and native hedgerows. So it would be | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
surprising for people to realise that you grow trees, millions, in a | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
farm setting? Yes, a lot of local people I speak to, farmers, they | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
never know what is going on down here. It is a really big production | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
site. Trees Please are wholesalers supplying trees in their thousands, | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
not the occasional specimen to the amateur gardener. Shows like the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
Great Yorkshire are essential to keep sales turning over. A lot of | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
people do large-scale plantings and they might not want any more trees | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
for the next four or five years, so we have to keep reminding customers | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
we are still here and still doing the job of growing for trees. | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
the trees. And that job involves weeding by hand. It is all right, | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
after you have done eight seasons of it, you get used to it. Tyne | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
Valley trees go all over the country. From Cornwall to Caithness. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
It was the biggest day of their lives. But newlyweds Caroline and | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
Colin Heslop were left devastated when they saw the wedding pictures. | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
So poor were the snaps, the photographer was ordered to pay | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
them compensation. But now, years later, they have been back to | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
church with a new photographer and done the whole thing again. Peter | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Harris reports. Here comes the bride, again. So | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
angry were the couple with the original wedding pictures, they | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:26. | ||
went back to church for a second take, three years on. I think I am | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
nervous as I was on the day! We are both nervous, aren't we? And this | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
is what went wrong first time around. Look North reported how | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
they were eventually paid compensation for these shots of the | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
big day, including one of the groom, complete with cigarette. The bride | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
and groom have come outside now, no confetti, but the bridesmaids are | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
he and behaving very well. But only one man really matters today, and | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
that is him, the photographer. The Master Photographers' Association | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
stepped in to help and provided a snapper for free, after seeing Look | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
North's story on the couple. It has gone excellent, they have been | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
great. They could very well, they were both extremely relaxed and | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
very co-operative. And I am sure they will be delighted with the | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
pictures! Pictures done, there was even time for the bridesmaids to do | :18:15. | :18:23. | |
the conga. And for everyone else, at least a chance to dress up again. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
She is getting what she has had to fight for for three years, which | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
has been heartbreaking at times. There have been tears, but we are | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
getting there. We had a fantastic photographer today. You can see | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
what he has done is fantastic. difference is unbelievable, no | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
comparison to the one they had for the wedding. What did you think of | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :18:55. | ||
the dress? Nice. Most men are only get to see the bright ones, you | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
have seen her twice, how did she look today? Beautiful, as three | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
years ago. They will have pictures to be proud | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
of at last! They all looked very smart. The | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
televised fixtures have been released for the first half of the | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
new Premier League season, but the Wear-Tyne Derby on the second | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Saturday has not been selected for live TV, although the kick-off has | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
been brought forward to 12 noon. However, Newcastle United's opening | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
match at home to Arsenal will be on ESPN, with a teatime kick-off. And | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
the Magpies will feature in another four matches, all shown by Sky. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Just two Sunderland matches have been chosen so far, though - the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
away games at newly-promoted Norwich and QPR - both weekday | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
evening fixtures. They were just minutes away from a | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
place in the World Cup semi-finals, but instead, England's women are | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
back home from Germany today after losing to France on penalties. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
Among them are North East players Steph Houghton and Jill Scott, who | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
scored the goal that looked to have secured England a place in the last | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
:20:05. | :20:07. | ||
four, for the first time in their It was a cruel end to a World Cup | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
dream and, sadly for England, a familiar one. Denied once again by | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
a penalty shoot-out, as France took their place in the semi-finals. | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Earlier, English fans were full of hope in Leverkusen, thanks to | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Sunderland born Jill Scott. For many, Scott has been England's | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
player of the tournament, and she fired her team in front just shy of | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
the hour mark. But with just minutes remaining, France equalised | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
to force extra time, and would eventually send their opponents on | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
a flight home. All the girls were obviously | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
devastated, especially the way the game went, and the penalties. I | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
think as time passes, we will probably look back and think we got | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
a great result against Japan, who are 4th in the world, and we took | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
fans right at the end. So as time goes by, we will be able to hold | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
our heads up stop my --. Women's game has enjoyed a high | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
profile in Germany, where many of the World Cup stars are household | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
names. There has even, for the first time, been an official Panini | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
sticker book of the competition. All a little overwhelming for | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
someone making their World Cup debut. You used to collect them | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
when you were drunk, the mail footballers. Now we have one, it is | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
a real when people were you to sign their sticker. The experience was | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
amazing, we had 26,000 in the crowd, the Act was -- the atmosphere was | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
great. Like a man's football game. Really happy for the team. So amid | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
the disappointment, still plenty to be proud of. | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
Indeed. Middlesbrough long jumper Chris Tomlinson is the new British | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
record holder. Tomlinson finished second in the Diamond League | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
meeting in Paris, but his leap of 8 metres 35 in the competition | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
extended the record by five centimetres. If he had jumped that | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
distance at the Beijing Olympics, it would have been enough for a | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
gold medal. Cricket, after defeat by Yorkshire | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
in the Twenty20 Cup yesterday, Durham are away at Warwickshire | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
hoping to keep alive their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals. They | :22:12. | :22:22. | |
:22:22. | :22:24. | ||
are batting and are 144 for 5 in the 7th over. Durham had a bright | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
start. And then there was a brilliant run-out. At Scarborough, | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
the Yorkshire captain awarded a cab to rising star Johnny Burstow. And | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
the visitors were bowled out for 168. The Tykes a 141 for three. | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
A statue of the country's first black professional footballer has | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
taken a step nearer to being unveiled in his adopted town of | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
Darlington. Arthur Wharton played in goal for | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
the Quakers in the latter part of the 19th century, but until | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
recently, his name was barely remembered. However, a long | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
campaign to honour him is slowly coming to fruition. Andy Bell | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
reports. Over a century of neglect, a lost | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
icon of the sporting world. But now, the unveiling of a 9ft bronze | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
statue in recognition of the world's first black professional | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
footballer moves a step closer, after a mould replica by Southern | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
artist, Viv Mallock, was given the nod of approval from the North East | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
man who has fought for years to raise awareness of the Arthur | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:30. | ||
Wharton story. I am in absolute shock at the minute. Looking at | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
that statue, and I am taken aback. It is fantastic, a new Viv could do | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
that job beautifully and she has done us proud -- I knew. I am lost | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
for words, almost. Viv has been working on the mould for months. | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
had the whole thing and large for me and then I had to do the hands | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
and the head separately. And then I married them together but they did | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
not seem to work very well so I had to manipulate and put more plaster | :24:01. | :24:10. | |
on, take some off elsewhere. In the end, it worked. So a fitting | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
tribute to the man who first played in goal for Darlo all the way back | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
in 1883. When completed, it is hoped the statue will travel the | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
country. But for Shaun, there can be only one final home. He is going | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
to return to Darlington in fine fettle. He is going to return to | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
Darlington, which I see as his natural home, to be frank. Yes, he | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
is coming home, for short! -- the shore at! | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
Some great news now following our Transplant Week on Look North. You | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
may remember the line-up of youngsters on Friday night's | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
programme waiting for a heart transplant at the Freeman Hospital | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
in Newcastle. Well, a match was found for Noah here, and he went | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
into the operating theatre this morning for a transplant. We wish | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
:24:59. | :25:04. | ||
him all the best. A mixed bag again over the weekend. | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
Things were variable at the north- east's biggest regatta. These | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
scenes were taken on Saturday off the coast at wife, torrential rain | :25:17. | :25:23. | |

different, beautiful sunshine. Over the next few days, sunshine and | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
showers, the mixture continues. But the sunshine will dominate and the | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
shower -- showers become fewer. A few showers the seething over the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
Pennines, but they will disappear and most places will be dry -- if | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
you show us this evening. -- a few showers. Temperatures no lower than | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
10 Celsius. Tomorrow, a large week right picture. Most places having | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
broken cloud, sunny spells -- a largely right picture. Cumbria | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
probably more likely to see showers tomorrow. Temperatures, at 19, 20 | :26:12. | :26:21. | |
Celsius in the West. In the north- east, a bit cooler, 15, 16. The | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
breezes coming in off the North Sea. Into Wednesday, high-pressure keeps | :26:29. | :26:35. | |

around tomorrow, but fewer on Wednesday. Most of us, fine and dry. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
Temperatures a bit cool for the middle of July, 18 Celsius is | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
typical. By Thursday, it should warm up a bit, temperatures back | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
into 21 Celsius. Make the most of that sunshine, cloud and rain | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
