:01:07. > :01:12.An inquest jury has ruled that a badly maintained set of points
:01:12. > :01:15.caused a high speed train to derail in Cumbria. It happened in 2007
:01:15. > :01:20.when a Virgin Train came off the rails near the village of Grayrigg.
:01:20. > :01:24.84-year-old Margaret Masson died and more than 80 people were
:01:24. > :01:28.injured. During the inquest the jury heard that workers were often
:01:28. > :01:32.not given enough time or the right tools to properly check and
:01:32. > :01:42.maintain the line. Our reporter is live for us in Kendal tonight,

:01:51. > :01:54.Fiona there. We will try to return to her when we can. Moving on.
:01:54. > :02:00.Almost one million days were lost through sickness among council
:02:00. > :02:03.staff in the North East and Cumbria last year. That is according to new
:02:03. > :02:07.figures obtained by The Politics Show. Gateshead Council has the
:02:07. > :02:15.highest rate, with each member of staff taking an average of just
:02:15. > :02:20.over ten days a year off work. Here is our political correspondent. A
:02:20. > :02:24.Newcastle gym, council workers get reduced membership fees. It has cut
:02:24. > :02:29.the council sickness rate by a third but overall there is a big
:02:29. > :02:34.issue with sickness levels. Council workers in the region took nearly a
:02:34. > :02:41.million days off sing in 2010 to 2011. Darlington council has the
:02:41. > :02:46.lowest, in Newcastle it is.5 days and Carlisle staff took 9.2 but
:02:46. > :02:49.where would you find the sickest council workers? Well according to
:02:49. > :02:54.the survey it is here, this is Gateshead Council, where staff
:02:54. > :02:59.members take an average of just over 10 days a year off sick. Why
:02:59. > :03:05.is the sick's rate so high here? The council say its has reduced the
:03:05. > :03:10.rates but it faces an ongoing problem.. The number of factors
:03:10. > :03:17.undertaken by council, particularly those that retain still a lot of
:03:17. > :03:20.manual workers in the work force, construction, maintenance --
:03:20. > :03:25.maintenance. But at this company workers take four days off sick.
:03:25. > :03:30.Could they cope with the council sickness rates? At this company it
:03:30. > :03:33.would be an unsustainable position. We would have certainly a distinct
:03:33. > :03:37.impact with regard to our service and supply situation, to customers,
:03:37. > :03:41.and we would certainly have an impact directly through to the cost
:03:41. > :03:45.to our business. But Brian is one of those people behind the council
:03:45. > :03:49.sickness figures, he is a teacher who has had to take large amounts
:03:50. > :03:56.of time off through stress. Teachers are working so hard and so
:03:56. > :04:02.long, to try and maintain these standards, that they are actually
:04:02. > :04:08.having emotional break downs. councils face budget cuts, could
:04:08. > :04:11.some of their workers be running out of steam. And MPs will be
:04:11. > :04:17.discussing that survey on The Politics Show this Sunday at noon
:04:17. > :04:21.on BBC One. Now we are going back to Fiona Trott at the Grayrigg
:04:21. > :04:27.train crash inquest in Kendal for us tonight. It has been a two week
:04:27. > :04:30.hearing as we heard earlier on.. Sorry about that technical problem
:04:30. > :04:33.earlier. As I was saying the Margaret Masson relatives today
:04:33. > :04:36.pointed the finger of blame at Network Rail. They said that
:04:36. > :04:40.lessons should have been learned from the Potters Bar crash, they
:04:40. > :04:42.weren't. They said there should have been a weekly inspection of
:04:43. > :04:46.the line on the West Coast Main Line and there wasn't. The result
:04:46. > :04:52.was that Margaret Masson lost her life. And the family solicitor made
:04:52. > :04:58.this statement after the verdict. In is an incident that could and
:04:58. > :05:04.should have been avoided. It wasn't, and tragically Margaret Masson lost
:05:04. > :05:10.her life. This inquest has enabled Mrs Langley to find some answers to
:05:10. > :05:15.what happened on 23rd February 2007, and achieve some form of closure.
:05:15. > :05:19.Let me tell you another way the family achieved closure, they shook
:05:19. > :05:24.hands with David Lewis, the very man who failed to inspect the
:05:24. > :05:27.faulty point, which is what caused the derailment. Margaret Masson's
:05:27. > :05:36.son George said the family reconciled with him. It was a
:05:36. > :05:43.mistake on his part. He has to live with that. This man was sincere,
:05:43. > :05:48.showed remorse. And he has my utmost respect, none of my family
:05:48. > :05:53.will hold anything against him. I have met him, shook his hand and
:05:53. > :05:56.thanked him for what he tried to do and nobody listened to him.
:05:56. > :05:59.believes that Network Rail didn't listen because what we heard during
:06:00. > :06:04.the inquest was that David Lewis e- mailed them a year before the crash
:06:04. > :06:08.about the staffing issue, he asked for agency staff to clear the
:06:08. > :06:13.backlog, that request was refused and he e-mailed the bosses and said
:06:13. > :06:17.sort this shambles out. Today, Network Rail told us we have not
:06:17. > :06:22.hidden from our responsibilities, and substantial changes have been
:06:22. > :06:25.made since the tragedy. So what happens next? What we know is the
:06:25. > :06:35.Office of Rail Regulation is carrying out its investigation to
:06:35. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:40.see if Network Rail will be prosecuted in the future. Thank you.
:06:40. > :06:45.A County Durham grandfather who plot add napalm bomb attack on his
:06:45. > :06:49.neighbours has walked free from court. 53-year-old Nicholas Smith
:06:49. > :06:53.wanted to take venge after claiming he was terrorised bier their anti-
:06:53. > :06:59.social behaviour. Smith who served six months in custody was given a
:06:59. > :07:04.six month suspended sentence at Teesside Crown Court today. Walking
:07:04. > :07:09.free from court Nicholas Smith says he endured a living hell. Tormented
:07:09. > :07:15.by neighbours he searched the internet for instructions to make a
:07:16. > :07:20.bomb. Unable to cope, he described his actions as a cry for help.
:07:20. > :07:25.felt as though I were uncapable of looking after the family. It was
:07:25. > :07:30.pointless living. But it has been a real nightmare for the wife. I are
:07:30. > :07:35.have been in tears wondering how she is coping and that has been a
:07:35. > :07:39.sheer living hell itself. months he said he was terrorised by
:07:39. > :07:42.youngster, they would throw eggs and rubbish at his windows and kick
:07:42. > :07:45.footballs against his house. He made several complaints to the
:07:45. > :07:49.police. In fact, after one attack officers came to his house and said
:07:49. > :07:53.he was in the kitchen and appeared angry and irritated. When they went
:07:53. > :07:59.to see him to find out what he was doing, they found he was mixing
:07:59. > :08:03.ingredients together to make a bomb. When officers checked Smith's
:08:04. > :08:10.computer, his Facebook page had this message "I'm going to die
:08:10. > :08:12.tonight, what has been declared. To hell with the cop, I will be burn
:08:12. > :08:15.them." The court heard Smith suffered depression after the death
:08:15. > :08:22.of his daughter, and had been drinking heavily. But he responded
:08:22. > :08:26.well in prison, and showed remorse and regret for his actions. I had a
:08:26. > :08:31.lot of people coming up to me telling me my dad's a bomber. No,
:08:31. > :08:35.he is nothing like that, he is a harmless man. The only thing he was
:08:35. > :08:40.guilty of is protecting his family and kids. Having served six months
:08:40. > :08:50.in custody, he was given a six month suspended prison sentence.
:08:50. > :08:51.
:08:51. > :08:55.And warned by a judge that this would be his last chance. Now, we
:08:55. > :09:00.have the unenvabl reputation of having the country's worst
:09:00. > :09:05.unemployment rate and its is worst among the young. Almost one million
:09:05. > :09:08.16-24-year-olds are without a job, so five weeks ago a group of young
:09:08. > :09:13.people left South Tyneside to walk 330 miles to London following in
:09:13. > :09:21.the footsteps of the original Jarrow March cher, now, near
:09:21. > :09:24.journey's end Keith Akehurst has been with them. When they set aef
:09:24. > :09:30.from Jarrow five weeks ago there were 500 of them. Supporters
:09:30. > :09:35.swelled the number. But North Yorkshire there was just 15. But as
:09:35. > :09:39.in the origin a Jarrow crew said 75 years ago, local people were
:09:39. > :09:43.lending support to the hardy few. Now, the modern march is in London,
:09:43. > :09:47.and only a few miles from their destination. Once again, they have
:09:47. > :09:52.attracted more marcher, students from colleges across the capital.
:09:52. > :09:56.One of those who has walked every mile from Tyneside is Bobby, a 26-
:09:56. > :10:00.year-old who lives in Newcastle and has been unemployed for more than a
:10:00. > :10:04.year. It has been hard, it has been really hard but fantastic, because
:10:04. > :10:09.we have had so much support from people in local community, we had
:10:09. > :10:13.so much support from the trade union, we have had support from the
:10:13. > :10:18.public. I have had terrible blisters, the couple of days they
:10:18. > :10:21.were unbelievable but they are better now. So, still marching. It
:10:21. > :10:26.is, I mean there is a great sense of achievement getting to the end
:10:26. > :10:31.of it all. You know, in some ways I am glad it is over. Another who has
:10:31. > :10:37.walked more than 300 miles is 23- year-old Tony. I came hope with the
:10:37. > :10:41.intention of losing a bit of weight but I have put a load on. Is that
:10:41. > :10:45.because people have been good to you? Yes, everyone wants to throw
:10:45. > :10:49.food at you. And like, you feel rude not accepting it. One day we
:10:49. > :10:55.had to go through about six different community centres, where
:10:55. > :11:00.people wanted to flow food at us and to feed us, so we had to run to
:11:00. > :11:04.it. Get a quick drink, go to the next one and keep going. In 1936
:11:04. > :11:14.when the 200 marchers arrived in London the Prime Minister Stanley
:11:14. > :11:18.Baldwin refused to see them and no Government minister met them. This
:11:18. > :11:22.time, the Work and Pensions Secretary did see some of them, in
:11:22. > :11:25.his constituency. Exclusively filmed by Look North. Yes, I
:11:25. > :11:28.absolutely have sympathy for they plight. That is why I was prepared
:11:28. > :11:33.to meet them. We are trying programmes to get young people back
:11:33. > :11:37.to work, we looked at the work experience, new apprenticeship
:11:37. > :11:40.programmes, there is lots going on, there is the work for yourself
:11:40. > :11:46.stuff, the academys were setting up. We are doing as much as we can to
:11:46. > :11:51.get young people back to work. the few returned to the main march.
:11:51. > :12:00.The march continues on, and finishes with rally tomorrow, in
:12:00. > :12:03.Trafalgar Square. Arriva the Sunderland based transport company
:12:03. > :12:09.has bought Grand Cemtral Trains, which runs services between
:12:09. > :12:13.Wearside and London. Grand Central was set up four years ago, and now
:12:14. > :12:18.carries round 700,000 passengers a year. It is not known how much it
:12:18. > :12:21.cost. NHS bosses who spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on a
:12:21. > :12:25.decision to sack a nurse and sack him unfairly, could find themselves
:12:25. > :12:29.having to answer to the House of Commons. As we reported last night
:12:29. > :12:31.Yunus Bakhsh was accused of bullying by his employers at the
:12:31. > :12:34.Northumberland and Tyne and Wear NHS Trust. But an employment
:12:34. > :12:39.tribunal said that wasn't the case, and ordered the trust to take him
:12:39. > :12:42.back. The trust refused, leading an employment judge to deliver a
:12:43. > :12:49.stinging criticism of the way it spent money on lawyers rather than
:12:49. > :12:53.healthcare. Our chief reporter has more. Utterly reprehensible. The
:12:53. > :12:56.way public money was used to run up a bill of hundreds of thousands of
:12:56. > :13:01.pounds, after this man was sacked. They were the words of an
:13:01. > :13:07.employment judge, who also ruled that Yunus Bakhsh was sacked in
:13:07. > :13:12.reality, because of his trade union activities. Now, his MP is involve
:13:12. > :13:16.and he says the Commons Public Accounts Committee should
:13:16. > :13:20.investigate. Every pound spent on manager of this nature is a pound
:13:20. > :13:24.that is not spent on the care of public in health terms. That has to
:13:24. > :13:28.be of concern to everyone. Is this a case where people should be
:13:28. > :13:32.considering their position? I think potentially yes, I am afraid that
:13:32. > :13:37.would seem to be the case. I think that they have dug themselves into
:13:37. > :13:41.a trench and carried on digs. trust released a statement saying
:13:41. > :13:46.its actions were justifiable, buttup -- Yunus Bakhsh and his MP
:13:46. > :13:51.wants the trusts bosss to appear before Look North's cameras. We can
:13:51. > :13:55.only try. We asked for an interview yesterday. We were told no. We
:13:55. > :14:00.asked for one today, we were told no. But with this affair now
:14:00. > :14:08.seemingly heading to Westminster, the trust may have to speak
:14:08. > :14:11.publicly, sooner rather than later. OK. Plenty more to come tonight.
:14:11. > :14:15.Including while the Magpies are hoping the Black Cats don't lose
:14:15. > :14:22.this weekend and veterans reveet -- retreat. Homeless soldiers get a
:14:22. > :14:25.place to stay in County Durham. Will the weather put a dampener on
:14:25. > :14:33.Bonfire Night? Probably not. I will have your full weekend forecast and
:14:33. > :14:36.how to get your hands on the new Look North weather calendar. It is
:14:36. > :14:40.claimed the opening of a renewable power plant in Cumbria producing
:14:40. > :14:43.electricity from farm waste could be the start of a green energy
:14:44. > :14:47.revolution in the countryside. The Anaerobic Digestion plant at
:14:47. > :14:56.Dryholme farm was officially switched on today, with the owners
:14:56. > :15:00.saying there are real cash incentives for local farmers. The
:15:00. > :15:06.official switch on say supporters is a landmark moment, green energy
:15:06. > :15:11.from farm waste that any farmer can provide. And an alternative to wind
:15:11. > :15:15.power. Even the most efficient wind turbines only produce energy 30% of
:15:15. > :15:20.the time. This produces 24-hours of the day so it is a different
:15:20. > :15:25.proposition, we are providing base load for the distribution network
:15:25. > :15:33.as opposed to when the wind is blowing at the right speed. The by
:15:33. > :15:37.product that are used are stored here. They are used to power local
:15:37. > :15:42.communities abroad. At the moment here power will be fed into the
:15:42. > :15:46.National Grid but supporters believe it won't be long before
:15:46. > :15:49.power plants backbench powering local homes. This plant has been
:15:49. > :15:53.given serious support. In this area they are complimentary because it
:15:53. > :15:58.is a farming area and the produce that goes into these type of plants
:15:58. > :16:02.comes from the farming community. So they are particularly
:16:02. > :16:06.complementary to the type of industry we have in this area.
:16:06. > :16:14.Germany there are round 5,000 Anaerobic Digestions. In Britain
:16:14. > :16:19.only 15, but more are planned including others in Cumbria.
:16:19. > :16:21.Described as a lifeline service for those suffering the aftereffects of
:16:21. > :16:27.war, St Peter's Court in County Durham was officially opened today.
:16:27. > :16:30.It offers a temporary home with support for veterans at risk of
:16:30. > :16:33.becoming homeless. It was set up by a local charity and is funded by
:16:33. > :16:38.the Royal British Legion, with money raced from the North East
:16:38. > :16:44.Poppy Appeal. Afrpblgts new start in life, which a lot of people
:16:44. > :16:49.don't get the chance of having. And after losing my house, becoming
:16:49. > :16:53.homeless, no -- not having a clue, one it has provided a roof over my
:16:53. > :16:59.head but helped me get on and sort my life out and get training and
:16:59. > :17:04.move on. Moving on, after conflict. David Tindale served in Northern
:17:04. > :17:07.Ireland during the 190s, and for the last four months he has lived
:17:07. > :17:12.at speed ear -- St Peter's Court. Today the centre was officially
:17:12. > :17:19.opened. Not just a home, but a provider of emotional and practical
:17:19. > :17:23.support. It is a step up for those who need it. A local charity set
:17:23. > :17:28.this up. We are able to support them. The local community is
:17:28. > :17:31.involved in supporting, and the real beneficiary is those veterans
:17:31. > :17:36.who unfortunately have found themselves homeless. As a nation we
:17:36. > :17:40.have a duty to look after those who have served on our behalf and the
:17:40. > :17:44.legion stands shoulder to shoulder supporting them. Through this
:17:44. > :17:48.support David will sit exams later this month. Hopes to set up his own
:17:48. > :17:53.business. There is no limit on the time you can stay here but nay say
:17:53. > :17:58.normally between six months to two years. I intend to be out before
:17:58. > :18:05.two years, to give somebody else the opportunity that they need.
:18:05. > :18:09.There is always somebody worse off than you are. Hadrian's Wall is
:18:09. > :18:13.going to feature in the celebration round next year's Olympic Games as
:18:14. > :18:19.part of the programme for the London 2012 festival, the wall will
:18:19. > :18:25.be the site for an art in stalaition. You will be able the
:18:25. > :18:29.site on the internet. There will be celebrations along the River Tyne
:18:29. > :18:34.featuring artists from here and Brazil. Whatever the Chinese can do,
:18:34. > :18:37.we have a wall as well! In sport tonight, intriguing, Newcastle,
:18:37. > :18:41.Sunderland. This doesn't happen very often, I have to say.
:18:41. > :18:46.Sunderland can do their neighbours and of course they rivals Newcastle
:18:46. > :18:52.a big favour if nay can avoid defeat at Old Trafford and the
:18:52. > :18:54.Magpies beat ev none thrun ch time kick off. Alan Pardew's side will
:18:54. > :18:58.find themselves second in the Premier League by tea time.
:18:58. > :19:03.Clutching at straws? Here is Mark. First the easy bit, on paper.
:19:03. > :19:06.Actually the visit of Everton may not be that straightforward. They
:19:06. > :19:11.won at St James' Park last season. I think they are the only team that
:19:11. > :19:15.beat us this calendar year, they deserve to beat us. They thumped us,
:19:15. > :19:20.so we got something to look back on and maybe put right. Gabriel
:19:20. > :19:27.Obertan is the latest injury to disrupt what has been a settled
:19:27. > :19:31.starting 11 and so is it three points or nothing tomorrow? We took
:19:31. > :19:35.a point on Saturday I would be pleased. If we can go to Manchester
:19:35. > :19:42.City unbeaten which is our next game, that would be a hell of a
:19:42. > :19:45.coup. If we win, it will be a bonus, because you know, we can't, you
:19:45. > :19:48.know, continue as brilliantly as we are. We will have some flaws here
:19:49. > :19:53.and there. It will be interesting to see how we do against Everton.
:19:53. > :19:57.That will be a test for us, to see like how we do against United and
:19:57. > :20:03.stuff like that after, but tough November, but if we can get a few
:20:03. > :20:08.points out of November, we should be all right, so it is pretty good.
:20:08. > :20:12.Steve Bruce handed his then boss Sir Alex Ferguson the first Premier
:20:12. > :20:17.League title 1 years ago. What party pooper would be if Sunderland
:20:17. > :20:21.won at traf for the first time since 196 with Sir Alex about to
:20:21. > :20:25.mark a quarter of a century at the helm of Manchester United. When
:20:25. > :20:31.they talk of retirement with him, I don't think he is anywhere near it,
:20:31. > :20:35.after speaking to him last week, you know, he's still striving.
:20:35. > :20:40.Typical when he has a terrible result. Then they win three on the
:20:40. > :20:44.trot. That is typical of the mentality. We have a run of
:20:44. > :20:50.fixtures where we feel we can get some points on the board and
:20:50. > :20:55.hopefully we can do that. So that is one game kicking off at
:20:55. > :20:58.lunchtime. One at three and Middlesbrough take on Watford at
:20:58. > :21:02.5.20. The bro Boro are unbeaten at home. They could do with a few more
:21:02. > :21:09.wins and the organisers of a new exhibition looking for help from
:21:09. > :21:13.fans who remember the good old days P It was back in 1995 that Boro
:21:13. > :21:18.left Ayresome Park, their home patch since the early years of the
:21:18. > :21:28.20th century. So many great game, so many great memories. Now an
:21:28. > :21:29.
:21:29. > :21:33.appeal has gone out for fans who might have their own souvenirs.
:21:33. > :21:40.Last week Dave and I were at Middlesbrough football club, and
:21:40. > :21:45.they have got a Papal blessing that was received from Pope John Paul.
:21:45. > :21:48.It is stuff like that that is so off the wall and relevant. We are
:21:49. > :21:52.looking for the unusual that will get people talking. Bernie Slavin
:21:52. > :21:56.is not old enough to be an exhibit yet but he gave the fans so many
:21:56. > :22:00.golden moments in his eight years in the red-and-white. His party
:22:00. > :22:04.piece was to celebrate each goal by climbing the fence, usually at the
:22:04. > :22:08.hol gate end. When the ground was demolished he took a section away
:22:08. > :22:12.with him. I did put it in the back garden for a year then the missus
:22:12. > :22:17.says that is a heap of junk. Put it where you should in the scrap heap,
:22:17. > :22:22.but I kept it and it put it in individual pitches. I put it to
:22:22. > :22:27.good use. Now the former striker is hoping Boro's good form will bring
:22:27. > :22:31.back Premier League football, and the fans. We are entertaining. Tony
:22:31. > :22:36.Mowbray has done well since he arrived sh I think the team deserve
:22:36. > :22:41.the back at this minute. Elsewhere tomorrow our two League One sides
:22:41. > :22:46.are on their travels. Carlisle at Exeter and Hartlepool at Leyton
:22:46. > :22:50.Orient. While many clubs are wearing special shirts, Pools are
:22:50. > :22:55.marking it with a chance to be squad number 90 for the day. It
:22:55. > :22:58.will be presented at the FA Cup tie against Stevenage. Changing sports
:22:59. > :23:05.and good luck to Newcastle Falcons tonight. In Rugby Union. They face
:23:05. > :23:11.a crunch game with Worcester. That is bottom against second bottom.
:23:11. > :23:17.Commentary from Kingston Park on Newcastle's AF frequency. There is
:23:17. > :23:21.action on the basketball court. Newcastle Eagles are at home to
:23:21. > :23:25.Milton Keynes Lion, here they are in white in a preseason friendly
:23:25. > :23:33.with Durham wide cats who play their first league game tomorrow
:23:33. > :23:36.night. That is against Cheshire Jets. Carol. When you stop
:23:36. > :23:42.coughing! This year's BBC Children In Need appeal for the North East

:24:06. > :24:10.open at six, so make sure you come early, we will have to shut the

:24:21. > :24:24.the Hermitage Academy and over 102 from the plools, a lot of local
:24:24. > :24:29.schools that have come together. There is a secret song that we have
:24:29. > :24:32.been practising and we can't sing that until 8.30 on the evening of
:24:32. > :24:38.Children In Need. And then the nation will come together, in a
:24:38. > :24:43.national choir, and we will all sing. A secret song. That is
:24:43. > :24:45.intriguing. Let us go to Paul, he is on the roof, it is Bonfire Night

:26:08. > :26:12.for tomorrow night. Some more weather to come in between now and

:26:16. > :26:20.heavy showery rain in Cumbria, over the north peen nines and into the
:26:20. > :26:24.North East. That rain will be heavy at times but as it becomes more
:26:24. > :26:28.confined to eastern areas so we get drier clearer weather into couple
:26:29. > :26:32.cup. Things could turn misty. It could turn chilly, temperatures
:26:32. > :26:36.down to 4C. Much milder further east where we keep the cloud and
:26:36. > :26:41.some rain. So tomorrow morning then, eastern areas start off cloudy with
:26:41. > :26:48.rain at times. Cumbria starts off mostly dry. That early money
:26:48. > :26:52.morning mist and fog, they might be slow to clear. Eastern areas will
:26:52. > :26:57.dry up and brighten up. Many place also see sunny spells as we head
:26:58. > :27:02.into the afternoon. Never that warm. 12C your high, is 54 Fahrenheit.
