:00:07. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to Look North. Tonight: He was kidnapped and

:00:12. > :00:16.murdered. A court is told a 77- year-old pensioner, his son and

:00:16. > :00:20.grandson were responsible. She has waited two years for a

:00:20. > :00:28.inquest into the death of her husband. Now she is calling for

:00:28. > :00:31.reforms. I do feel I cannot move on. Price war at the pumps. The North

:00:31. > :00:36.is now the cheapest in the UK for petrol.

:00:36. > :00:39.On patrol, the car with cameras that will catch drivers parking

:00:39. > :00:49.illegally outside schools. Hoo noo broon coo.

:00:49. > :00:51.ALL: Hoo noo broon coo. And ladies from the South get

:00:51. > :00:57.Lessells from the locals on life in the north.

:00:57. > :01:02.In sport, Sunderland's new Champions League winning defender

:01:02. > :01:05.on his need for first-team football. And the ultra runner from

:01:05. > :01:15.Guisborough hoping to make his -- raise money by running the

:01:15. > :01:20.

:01:20. > :01:23.First tonight, a 77-year-old grandfather accused of murder is

:01:23. > :01:28.said to have instructed his son and grandson to carry out as a revenge

:01:28. > :01:31.attack against a former friend suspected of stealing his life

:01:31. > :01:35.savings. George Thomas senior is accused along with two other

:01:35. > :01:40.members of his family of kidnapping and murdering John Newton from

:01:40. > :01:45.Redcar in March. Two other men are also said to have been recruited to

:01:45. > :01:48.carry out the attack and they face the same charges. We have been

:01:48. > :01:53.following the case at Teesside Crown Court.

:01:53. > :01:57.The prosecution said today although they accept that beat 70 fair seven

:01:58. > :02:01.year-old grandfather was not present during the kidnap and

:02:01. > :02:05.killing of the Redcar father, they believe he was central to the

:02:05. > :02:09.operation, and that is why he faced these charges. They said he was the

:02:09. > :02:14.one who got the ball rolling and instructed younger and fitter men

:02:14. > :02:19.to carry out the attack. For John Newton was killed, the

:02:19. > :02:24.court heard, out of revenge. He was accused of stealing the life-

:02:24. > :02:29.savings of �35,000 from a friend. That friend was this man, 77-year-

:02:29. > :02:34.old George Thomas senior. Unhappy with the police response, the

:02:34. > :02:38.prosecution said, he asked his son and grandson to administer their

:02:38. > :02:43.own punishment. Before the attack in his home, Steven Thomas had

:02:43. > :02:47.already warned Newton about taking advantage of his grandfather. He

:02:47. > :02:52.had head-butted him and then put a gun to his head. Days before his

:02:52. > :02:57.death, the court heard, four records showed Stephen had texted

:02:57. > :03:01.Newton. I have paid two people to pay you a visit when you're least

:03:01. > :03:07.expecting it. When they have finished with you I will have what

:03:07. > :03:11.is left. The prosecution said the three family members and two at

:03:11. > :03:16.other men kidnapped the 42-year-old father from his Redcar home. He was

:03:16. > :03:21.brought to this remote area of woodland away from public view, on

:03:21. > :03:25.the outskirts of Middlesbrough. It is here, the prosecution said, he

:03:25. > :03:30.suffered a savage assault. He was cut with a knife and so that 60

:03:30. > :03:35.separate injuries. He suffered brain damage and died in hospital

:03:35. > :03:39.two days later. All defendants denied murder and the trial

:03:39. > :03:43.continues. The prosecution have opened a today

:03:43. > :03:52.but the jury have already been told to expect the trial to last around

:03:52. > :03:56.five weeks. The court is expected to hear evidence from six witnesses.

:03:56. > :03:59.Last week Look North reported on the ten-month delays affecting

:04:00. > :04:04.inquests on Teesside but one woman from Northumberland says she has

:04:04. > :04:10.now been waiting two years for an inquest into her husband's sudden

:04:10. > :04:16.death. Now Ann Pogue says enough is enough. She says the system must be

:04:16. > :04:20.reformed to prevent more bereaved families suffering her agony.

:04:20. > :04:25.Ann Pogue was a been forward to many more summers with her husband

:04:25. > :04:30.Colin. Even when he fell ill with stomach problems in 2009, at first

:04:30. > :04:36.there seemed little danger, but then two years ago, doctors gave

:04:36. > :04:40.Colin just hammers to live. It was really shocking and traumatic. I

:04:40. > :04:45.struggled to come to terms with it. The death was put down to a

:04:45. > :04:49.condition which cause gangrene in Colin's intestines. It was an

:04:49. > :04:53.unexpected and painful end. His wife had to get more answers from

:04:53. > :04:56.the inquest but two years on a date has still not been set for a

:04:56. > :05:03.hearing. The wait has been stressful and all-consuming. She

:05:03. > :05:08.even gave up her job. It is excruciating. Everything you do, it

:05:08. > :05:14.is still hovering there in the background. And I do just feel I

:05:14. > :05:19.cannot move on. I'd just cannot. I have had no closure and so we have

:05:19. > :05:24.decided this has to be the closure, because I just cannot go on with

:05:24. > :05:27.all this pain. And the North Northumberland -- the

:05:27. > :05:32.Northumberland coroner was not available to comment today because

:05:32. > :05:36.he is at a meeting in London. The weight here is lower than the

:05:36. > :05:41.national average. The coroner said the case is not a straightforward

:05:41. > :05:45.one. But Ann Pogue says any system which can treat bereaved families

:05:45. > :05:49.in this way has failed. It is unacceptable and unforgivable.

:05:49. > :05:53.There needs to be every few of the inquest system and I would urge

:05:53. > :06:00.others in my situation to come forward. -- there needs to be a

:06:00. > :06:04.review. Colin would not want me to suffer any more than I already have.

:06:04. > :06:11.He was the most dignified man I will ever know and I am doing this

:06:11. > :06:15.for Colin. For the sake of her own health, Ann Pogue has decided not

:06:15. > :06:23.to attend the inquest whenever it happens, even if she has unanswered

:06:23. > :06:29.questions. A man from South Tyneside has been

:06:29. > :06:33.jailed after he was caught shining a laser pen at a police helicopter.

:06:33. > :06:37.23-year-old Richard Oliver from sad Shiels was sentenced to six months.

:06:37. > :06:43.He was caught by officers in his garden after he shone his pen

:06:43. > :06:46.repeatedly at a Northumbria Police helicopter.

:06:46. > :06:50.The cheapest petrol in the country can be bought in our region,

:06:50. > :06:53.according to a new survey, at just 125.9p a litre. That is 10p or more

:06:53. > :06:55.below many service stations. The low price is being offered by one

:06:55. > :06:59.supermarket in Bishop Auckland. But it has upset independent retailers

:06:59. > :07:09.who say they cannot afford to compete in a price war. Stephanie

:07:09. > :07:12.Lloyd is in Bishop Auckland for us now.

:07:13. > :07:16.Height fuel prices are having a huge impact on household budgets so

:07:16. > :07:19.people in Bishop Auckland will be over the moon to hear that this

:07:19. > :07:24.place is the cheapest in the country to fill up on unleaded

:07:24. > :07:27.petrol. The supermarkets have slashed their prices and people

:07:27. > :07:35.were queueing around the block at Sainsbury's in the town today to

:07:36. > :07:40.fill up on unleaded. It is 126 pence per litre. Diesel is 131p.

:07:40. > :07:45.Let's have a look at how that compares around the region.

:07:45. > :07:51.Carlisle is quite expensive, with petrol at 146p per litre. The

:07:52. > :08:00.cheapest you can fill up his one hand and 32p. Elsewhere, prices

:08:00. > :08:06.range. In York, the highest price for petrol is 138.9 pence. In

:08:06. > :08:14.Teesside, in Middlesbrough, it is 138p. Newcastle is fairly high at

:08:14. > :08:20.144p. Sunderland his lover at 139p. Great news for motorists. This is

:08:20. > :08:25.what some of them said earlier today. It is still expensive. Even

:08:25. > :08:31.if it is the cheapest in the country. That is brilliant. Long

:08:31. > :08:37.may it last. Ridiculous. I am skint all the time. I did not know it was

:08:37. > :08:43.cheaper around here. I will not go to Sainsbury's or anything like

:08:43. > :08:49.that. I do not like petrol. REPORTER: So you would use them?

:08:49. > :08:59.Yes, but it was so busy today. independent retailers are being

:08:59. > :09:04.undercut by the supermarkets and this for court costs drivers to

:09:04. > :09:11.pounds more for some drivers than the supermarket. You are charging

:09:11. > :09:17.131p got -- for unleaded. You are down 80,000 litres a week because

:09:17. > :09:22.of his price war, so it is hitting you hard? Yes, and the Revenue you

:09:22. > :09:26.lose from the shop sales, not getting the people in. People go to

:09:26. > :09:30.Sainsbury's and Tesco's for the big saving but for the independent

:09:30. > :09:35.retailers it is a disaster for the local area. You just cannot get

:09:35. > :09:41.that back. We cannot compete on those prices. Can you give us some

:09:41. > :09:46.figures. What are you using? We are losing �90,000 revenue a week,

:09:46. > :09:53.which is a lot of money, plus what is in the shop. Quite a lot of

:09:54. > :10:00.customers. For motorists, it is great news, isn't it? They think,

:10:00. > :10:05.great if we can get Petra gibber. It is already too high. -- get

:10:05. > :10:15.petrol cheaper. Can't you lower your prices a bit so they will come

:10:15. > :10:18.to you? We cannot let them any more. We give our profit a way. At the

:10:18. > :10:27.end of the day, they must be losing money because they want to get

:10:27. > :10:31.people back in the shop. Thank you. The supermarkets say they are doing

:10:31. > :10:36.it because the drop -- because they want to help customers save money

:10:36. > :10:40.and to help them with their weekly budget. And by offering these fuel

:10:40. > :10:43.promotions and lowering their prices, it gets customers through

:10:43. > :10:48.the door and spending on food, which is what the supermarkets want

:10:48. > :10:53.most. Earlier I spoke to Paul Watters

:10:53. > :10:57.from the AA, who welcomed the news of lower prices at the pumps.

:10:57. > :11:02.certainly does have to be good news and it is good news. We have seen

:11:02. > :11:06.prices creeping back up to where they were before the supermarkets

:11:06. > :11:11.started a price war about a month ago, when the strategic reserves of

:11:11. > :11:16.oil were put on to the market at lower prices. Since then we have

:11:16. > :11:20.seen the 2p that came off their back on to fuel, so the fact that

:11:20. > :11:23.this fuel is selling almost 10p a litre cheaper than the UK national

:11:23. > :11:28.average is brilliant for drivers. The smaller retailers are saying

:11:28. > :11:33.they cannot compete. They cannot by the petrol for the price that the

:11:33. > :11:37.big supermarkets are selling it out. Does that caused a problem? It does

:11:37. > :11:41.in the longer term. This is the problem of the big muscle of the

:11:41. > :11:45.supermarkets, who put three huge volumes of fuel through their

:11:45. > :11:49.forecourts. So they can afford to buy and sell cheap to entice people

:11:49. > :11:53.into the stores. It puts the independent retailers at a youth

:11:53. > :11:58.problem because they cannot compete with those sort of prices. That is

:11:58. > :12:02.why we have seen the numbers of filling stations in the UK go from

:12:02. > :12:06.about 20,000 down to 9,000 now. They are finding it so hard to make

:12:07. > :12:13.ends meet and to stay in business, competing against prices like this.

:12:13. > :12:17.Thank you. Still to come: Tuesday's sports

:12:17. > :12:20.desk. Plus a step back in time, the motor car nostalgia show coming to

:12:20. > :12:25.the North. And it is the school holidays but

:12:25. > :12:34.it does not feel like so much for much of the North East. The

:12:34. > :12:36.forecast after the news. Now, you could be in for a nasty

:12:36. > :12:39.shock if you are caught parking where you shouldn't in North

:12:39. > :12:42.Tyneside. The local council has unveiled its latest tactic to stop

:12:42. > :12:45.motorists parking outside schools. A CCTV car using numberplate

:12:45. > :12:52.recognition will patrol the area and catch offending drivers in the

:12:52. > :12:55.act. They could then face a �70 fine. The council says the new

:12:55. > :13:01.system is designed to improve safety rather than raise money. Our

:13:01. > :13:05.correspondent Mark Denten reports. The schools are closed. The

:13:05. > :13:13.holidays are here. But do not be fooled by the quiet. On North

:13:13. > :13:17.Tyneside, beware. The local council's secret weapon is coming.

:13:17. > :13:19.It may be small but it packs a punch. This is a CCTV camera car,

:13:19. > :13:29.designed to stop motorists parking where they shouldn't outside

:13:29. > :13:29.

:13:29. > :13:33.schools. We receive regular complaints from head teachers, from

:13:33. > :13:37.the general public, of people parking indiscriminately outside

:13:37. > :13:41.schools, creating a dangerous environment. We also received

:13:42. > :13:45.complaints from bus operators, people parking in bus lay-bys and

:13:45. > :13:48.in loading bays, so generally there is a problem of people parking

:13:48. > :13:54.where they should not park. Inside, the car is packed with numberplate

:13:54. > :14:04.recognition technology. So how does it work? It is an in-built computer

:14:04. > :14:04.

:14:04. > :14:10.with a camera on the top. You can move the camera on the top to focus

:14:10. > :14:16.in on an illegally parked car. We pick up any vehicles in parking

:14:17. > :14:21.restricted areas. Isn't this all a bit big brother? Where you are

:14:21. > :14:25.supposed to park, it is for a limited time period during the day.

:14:25. > :14:30.Really is it so necessary? It is chaotic in the morning so yes,

:14:30. > :14:36.sensible. REPORTER: Not intrusive?

:14:36. > :14:40.particularly. It is fine. I do not think there is a major problem. I

:14:40. > :14:50.do not think the council needs to invest huge amounts of car -- many

:14:50. > :14:52.

:14:52. > :14:55.putting that car that. -- money putting that car there. A road

:14:55. > :14:59.safety grant will pay for the project for one year. The camera

:14:59. > :15:01.car will start its work for real when the new school term begins in

:15:01. > :15:04.September. The region's biggest police force

:15:05. > :15:07.is to use what some officers say is a jobs lottery as part of its

:15:07. > :15:10.efforts to save money. Northumbria Police is currently reorganising

:15:10. > :15:13.the way it deploys its detectives to help make savings of �57 million.

:15:13. > :15:16.It is asking those officers to state their preferences about the

:15:16. > :15:18.roles they would like. But roles that are oversubscribed will be

:15:18. > :15:21.decided by a random selection process, with are those not

:15:21. > :15:24.selected joining the uniformed ranks instead. Here is our chief

:15:25. > :15:30.reporter. The bobby on the beat. It is what

:15:30. > :15:32.senior officers call visible policing. And they want to protect

:15:32. > :15:37.it. Which means changes elsewhere. Including a more centralised CID

:15:37. > :15:42.instead of teams spread around the force area. Four out of five

:15:42. > :15:45.detectives will keep their jobs. Some will get new roles. But when

:15:45. > :15:53.the posts start to run out, the selection which some have

:15:53. > :15:58.criticised comes in. The top detective in this force says the

:15:58. > :16:01.criticism is not fair. We are giving every single person affected

:16:02. > :16:08.by this change the good choice of where they want to work and in what

:16:08. > :16:11.particular function. The lottery element, or the random deselection,

:16:11. > :16:19.only applies where we have oversubscription for certain parts

:16:19. > :16:22.of the business. It will be those small numbers that are deselected

:16:22. > :16:28.randomly to ensure absolute fairness, to get us to the levels

:16:28. > :16:30.within the new model that we need. Because they are Crown appointments,

:16:30. > :16:33.police officers cannot be made redundant. Which makes police

:16:33. > :16:41.numbers difficult to manage. The body which represents rank and file

:16:41. > :16:45.officers says it understands. -- says cuts do have to be made some

:16:45. > :16:51.had. The chief constable is restructuring Northumberland police

:16:51. > :16:56.to accommodate this and the role of the federation is to make sure that

:16:56. > :16:59.is done in an honest, fair and legal process. We firmly believe

:16:59. > :17:02.that that has been done. 92 police jobs will go altogether, achieved

:17:02. > :17:11.through natural wastage. A process which cannot accommodate the 450

:17:11. > :17:14.civilian jobs which will also disappear.

:17:14. > :17:17.Now, nostalgia weekends are fast becoming a feature of the English

:17:17. > :17:23.summer. And one of the biggest is being planned for the Croft Racing

:17:23. > :17:33.Circuit near Darlington in a couple of weeks' time. Peter Lugg it took

:17:33. > :17:40.

:17:41. > :17:44.a spin down memory lane to find out Yes, it is retro motor heaven. If

:17:44. > :17:47.you can drive it, wear it or play it and it was made before, say,

:17:47. > :17:51.1970, you will be welcome at Croft's motoring nostalgia weekend,

:17:51. > :17:56.coming up in a couple of weeks' time. Today was a chance for

:17:56. > :18:02.drivers like Geoff Maxwell to get to know the circuit.

:18:02. > :18:11.It was designed and built in 1951 yet it still has that really

:18:11. > :18:17.desirable shape. It is all Kurds, like a female. -- curves. The wife

:18:17. > :18:21.will not let you drive it over 50mph? No, she is a built in

:18:21. > :18:23.speedometer. What was it they used to say about the Yanks? Overpaid,

:18:23. > :18:32.over something and over here. Still, today apparently everyone is

:18:32. > :18:37.welcome. Everybody has their old interpretation -- their own

:18:37. > :18:41.interpretation of an old car. But for me it is the 1930s stuff. And

:18:41. > :18:47.the post war stuff and the wartime stuff as well. OK, so what is it to

:18:47. > :18:57.be for me? The Jag, the Merc or the Bentley? No, they said, for you it

:18:57. > :19:02.has to be a real classic. A bridge Master bus. I went to school on

:19:02. > :19:09.these for about ten years. This is from 1963. I never thought I would

:19:09. > :19:13.be driving one. The only problem is, you have to keep stopping. Move on,

:19:13. > :19:21.please! Well, if it was good enough for Sir Cliff... The nostalgia

:19:21. > :19:25.weekend, by the way, is over the 6th and 7th August.

:19:25. > :19:28.Now, what happens when you take four posh ladies from the South of

:19:28. > :19:32.England and move them into one of the North's most deprived areas?

:19:32. > :19:37.Well, we are about to find out because a new series studying the

:19:37. > :19:39.life and culture of the Geordies start on BBC Three tonight. Geordie

:19:39. > :19:49.Finishing School For Girls follows four privileged young ladies who

:19:49. > :19:52.

:19:56. > :20:01.Being forced to survive and jobseeker's allowance has made the

:20:01. > :20:06.girls result to a packed lunch, Geordie style.

:21:10. > :21:16.way to do it! PRESENTER: They discovered Geordie guys are eager

:21:47. > :21:50.15 years at Manchester United but Sunderland's new signing Wes Brown

:21:50. > :21:53.says it was a lack of first team football that led him to Wearside.

:21:53. > :21:57.The 31 year-old Champions League winner played only seven times in

:21:57. > :22:00.the top flight last season, and felt the time was right for him to

:22:00. > :22:02.leave the only club he has ever played for. Brown says the number

:22:02. > :22:09.of former United players at Sunderland, including boss Steve

:22:09. > :22:15.Bruce, was also a big factor in his decision.

:22:15. > :22:25.I have watched Sunderland over the years, anyway. We have always had

:22:25. > :22:25.

:22:25. > :22:32.some sort of connection. I spoke to Steve and I knew this was where I

:22:32. > :22:40.wanted to come. Obviously, there are the players he has signed as

:22:40. > :22:42.well. It is perfect. And Wes Brown will make his debut for Sunderland

:22:42. > :22:44.in tomorrow's friendly at Kilmarnock after recovering from a

:22:44. > :22:46.hip problem. Meanwhile, the BBC understands that

:22:46. > :22:49.Newcastle defender Jose Enrique has been fined for his outburst on

:22:49. > :22:52.Twitter. The Spaniard criticised the club's transfer policy and

:22:52. > :22:55.accused the board of lying about his new contract offer. He is,

:22:55. > :23:00.however, still in the squad for tonight's game with Columbus Crew,

:23:00. > :23:02.as the Magpies wrap up their pre- season tour of America.

:23:02. > :23:05.Elsewhere, Carlisle host Middlesbrough tonight in a friendly

:23:05. > :23:12.at Brunton Park. Kick-off is at 7:30pm and full coverage is on BBC

:23:12. > :23:16.Tees and BBC Radio Cumbria. Now to an athlete who makes pre-

:23:16. > :23:25.season training look like a walk in the park. Sharon Gayter is an ultra

:23:25. > :23:32.runner. After being out of action for a year, she broke a national

:23:32. > :23:35.record in her comeback race. To do that, she ran 750km, and finished

:23:41. > :23:48.Sharon Gayter from Guisborough is an ultra runner and ranked number

:23:48. > :23:53.one in the world for running six days. I'd do stop every now and

:23:53. > :23:57.then and have a break and sleep for a couple of others. But last year,

:23:57. > :24:00.a cyst was found in Sharon's ankle. She had to have an operation which

:24:00. > :24:03.involved stem cells and a bone graft. She was out of action for

:24:03. > :24:09.almost a year. To recover, Sharon has used the uni's hydrotherapy

:24:09. > :24:14.pools, which has an underwater treadmill. It is like running on

:24:14. > :24:18.air. There is no impact on the bones and joints. I could run all

:24:18. > :24:21.day. Sharon, who is in her forties, was able to exercise earlier and

:24:21. > :24:24.longer because the water takes 70 per cent of the body's weight. Her

:24:24. > :24:31.recovery amazed surgeons. There are only three like this in Britain.

:24:31. > :24:35.The others are at Manchester United and Chelsea. Not only is it used

:24:35. > :24:39.for recovering from industry, but for strength and conditioning work

:24:39. > :24:43.as well, so it can help you maintain a level of fitness or

:24:43. > :24:46.indeed enhance it. Sharon has run 1000 ultra races in her career and

:24:46. > :24:55.50 this year since her injury. Her next challenge, 135 miles through

:24:55. > :25:00.the Himalayas. Only one guy has ever finished this race, it took

:25:00. > :25:04.express how tough it is. Everyone else has ended up in hospital. And

:25:04. > :25:07.just a fraction worried! And if you have a sports injury and want to

:25:07. > :25:15.use the Teesside Uni's special hydrotherapy pool, you can, but

:25:16. > :25:24.there is a charge. What an unbelievable lady! Will she

:25:24. > :25:30.have some good whether to run in, Not bad. It looks mostly dry for

:25:30. > :25:40.the next few days. A gloomy day today. This was the scene at the
