:00:04. > :00:11.Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In the headlines, they are

:00:11. > :00:16.safe in our hospitals. A NHS Trust boss reacts angrily to claims that

:00:16. > :00:20.patients will suffer because of a cash crisis. I find the claims

:00:20. > :00:26.irritating. I believe this hospital provides good quality, safe patient

:00:26. > :00:32.care. Fuelling debate. As MPs discuss soaring prices at the pumps

:00:49. > :00:55.what The Beatles did for Liverpool. And the only record shop on

:00:55. > :01:02.Teesside is starring in a new film. Sport, what is it like to be 5,500

:01:02. > :01:12.miles away from home? We have an interview with Dong Won Ji, the

:01:12. > :01:14.

:01:14. > :01:18.striker hoping to make a big splash with Sunderland. Hospital bosss

:01:18. > :01:23.have hit back at claims that patient care will suffer, because

:01:23. > :01:26.of a cash crisis, at an NHS Trust. Last week it was reveal had the

:01:26. > :01:32.North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust is looking at closing wards

:01:32. > :01:38.to try to claw back a �1.3 million overspend, in October alone. The

:01:38. > :01:43.Royal College of Nursing says that will put patient safety at risk but

:01:43. > :01:47.today the trust chief executive called that nonsense. Financial

:01:47. > :01:50.problems at the trust which runs hospitals in Carlisle and

:01:50. > :01:55.Whitehaven are long-standing. Last week though, a leaked e-mail

:01:55. > :01:59.revealed they were getting worse, with a �1.3 million overspend in

:01:59. > :02:02.October alone. That prompted sharp criticism from among others the

:02:02. > :02:07.Royal College of Nursing. We know from our members, that the

:02:07. > :02:10.pressures that they are under, and the lack of staffing and

:02:10. > :02:13.inappropriate skill mix, patients are at risk in this hospital today

:02:13. > :02:17.and have been for some time. We want the trust to be honest about

:02:17. > :02:20.that. It is not just about money, and the Government have to decide,

:02:20. > :02:24.do they want the population of Cumbria to be safe in their

:02:24. > :02:27.hospitals, or do they just want to save money? But today, the boss

:02:27. > :02:32.brought in to sort out the financial problems at the trust,

:02:32. > :02:37.before it is taken over, hit back. Nonsense. I think they have got to

:02:37. > :02:42.produce the evidence to support that claim. I do find the claims

:02:42. > :02:47.irritating. I believe this hospital provides good quality, safe patient

:02:47. > :02:52.care. We meet all our performance targets. The only significant

:02:52. > :02:56.problem we have is financial management. Everything else is fine.

:02:56. > :03:01.If the RCN believe that, they have to produce the evidence. I have

:03:01. > :03:04.asked them do that. If they can't, they should be be quiet.

:03:04. > :03:09.Campaigners have written to the Prime Minister, asking for historic

:03:09. > :03:12.debts to be wiped clean We have had a decade of this kind of financial

:03:12. > :03:16.problem, and it is getting no better, and think we have reached

:03:16. > :03:20.the point where enough is enough and we need some Government

:03:20. > :03:25.intervention with it. Dr Good win says the trust cannot go on being

:03:25. > :03:29.bailed out year after year, and that it will have to show it is not

:03:29. > :03:33.a financial basket case. He knows the trust will have to show it is

:03:33. > :03:41.vol au vent before any take over take place, but he knows he's will

:03:41. > :03:45.have to placate critics who worry what that might mean. Mark join us

:03:45. > :03:50.from our Carlisle studio. What happens now? To give you an

:03:50. > :03:54.indication of the scale of the challenge, it has to save �15.2

:03:54. > :03:58.million in this financial year alone. We know the trust is

:03:58. > :04:04.discussing the possibly closure of wards and the non-renewal of short-

:04:04. > :04:08.term contracts to try to claw back some money. Unions as we have heard

:04:08. > :04:11.as that as squeezing more out of less and put pressure on the work

:04:11. > :04:16.force T managements say the two hospitals in Carlisle and

:04:16. > :04:21.Whitehaven can work more fissionly and will do so if this cash crisis

:04:21. > :04:26.is to be solved of.Ing are said that none of this is going to be

:04:26. > :04:29.easily and it is unlikely to be popular. MPs have been debating the

:04:29. > :04:33.soaring price of fuel, with many demanding the Government take

:04:33. > :04:39.action to cut prices. But the coalition has said it needs to

:04:39. > :04:43.raise fuel dutys by three pence a litre to reduce a budget deficit it

:04:43. > :04:48.blame tons last Labour Government. Here, the cost of unleaded and

:04:48. > :04:52.diesel varies widely. With rural towns such as more teth -- Morpeth

:04:52. > :04:58.and Harrogate paying more. Businesses here are warning high

:04:58. > :05:02.fuel bills are crippling hopes of a recovery. They are working harder

:05:02. > :05:07.than ever at this delivery firm, but for no more reWard. Fuel price

:05:07. > :05:11.rises mean they have had to try to get more business just to cover the

:05:11. > :05:16.cost of the diesel they use, so they don't have to pass it on to

:05:16. > :05:24.their customers.. It is totally disheartening, you know, we work

:05:24. > :05:30.long hour, we work as really hard to prevent, to give a service, and

:05:30. > :05:34.just to see the bottom liner roaded month on month is, it is soul-

:05:34. > :05:41.destroying. It is, you know, it makes you wonder whether it is

:05:41. > :05:47.worth continuing. In the past year, Mr Dixon says the Penrith firms

:05:47. > :05:52.spend on fuel rose 15%. Costing them another �60,000 a year. But it

:05:52. > :05:57.is not just businesses that are suffering. Prices on the forecourts

:05:57. > :06:01.have tripled in the past two decades. Causing real problems for

:06:01. > :06:05.people who live in rural communities and rely on their cars.

:06:05. > :06:11.For those on low incomes, it can cost them a tenth of their wage,

:06:11. > :06:18.just to keep their tank full. Today, MPs debated a motion calling for an

:06:18. > :06:21.end the fuel duty increases. More than 100,000 people signed an on

:06:21. > :06:26.line petition calling for the debate. Many MPs want the

:06:26. > :06:28.Government to think again. I would like to see the three pence rise

:06:28. > :06:31.abandoned by the Government. I appreciate we will have to wait for

:06:31. > :06:35.the appropriate statement from the Chancellor to see whether that is

:06:35. > :06:39.going to happen. I feel a lot of people feel strongly about it.

:06:39. > :06:42.has proubl doubled in the last three years, so what I was spending

:06:42. > :06:47.three years ago. It is a lot of money. It is like a mortgage,

:06:47. > :06:53.having to run your car. Put a cap on it, because there is no need for

:06:53. > :06:57.it. I would like to see the diesel prices coming down. If I have to do

:06:57. > :07:03.a long distance I will get the train. It is not worth it. But with

:07:03. > :07:13.a further three pence a litre due to be added in January, some

:07:13. > :07:15.

:07:15. > :07:19.motorists fear by priced off the road. A County Durham family is

:07:19. > :07:23.seeking help from a Belgian court over the death of their son 11

:07:23. > :07:27.years ago. Christopher Rochester died in a balcony fall on Rhodes

:07:27. > :07:31.but when his body was returned to the UK it was missing a kidney. A

:07:31. > :07:36.row with Greek officials over whether an organ sent later on

:07:37. > :07:42.belonged to him ended in an exhumation to allow for independent

:07:42. > :07:46.DMA tests in Brussels. It is a fight that has lasted 11 years and

:07:46. > :07:50.it started the night Christopher Rochester fell from a balcony in

:07:50. > :07:59.rode. Today there are no answers about why his body was sent home

:07:59. > :08:04.missing a kidney. All we have ever wanted is justice. We need justice

:08:04. > :08:07.against those that done what they done to him after his death.

:08:07. > :08:12.kidney was eventually sent back but tests showed it didn't belong to

:08:12. > :08:21.Chris. The authorities in Greece disagreed and ordered his body to

:08:21. > :08:24.be exhumed for independent DNA testing the Brussels. For the

:08:24. > :08:29.exhumation was done it was horrendous. We are no further

:08:29. > :08:32.forwards. The results are in but the family can't access them

:08:32. > :08:36.without a court order. Durham Police have written to Brussels but

:08:36. > :08:41.now it is another waiting game. Where do you find the strength from

:08:41. > :08:47.to keep fighting? The only thing Chris hasn't got in our family is a

:08:47. > :08:51.voice. We are his voice, and if it takes us to our dying day and dying

:08:51. > :08:54.breath, then perhaps that is when the fight would come to an end.

:08:54. > :08:59.there is no answer, the family say they will pay for DNA testing

:08:59. > :09:09.themselves, for them, there is no giving up. Once those people are

:09:09. > :09:09.

:09:09. > :09:13.punished we will have closure. co-pilot of an RAF helicopter which

:09:13. > :09:16.crashed in North Yorkshire killing a pile and two others has pleaded

:09:16. > :09:20.guilty to negligence. Flight Lieutenant David Sale from Norton

:09:20. > :09:25.near Stockton died along with crew man Sergeant Philip Burfoot and

:09:25. > :09:29.Private Sean Tait. The crash happened near Catterick Garrison in

:09:29. > :09:34.August 2007. Ex Flight Lieutenant Robert Hamilton who was severely

:09:34. > :09:40.injured in the crash admitted neglect in flying likely to cause

:09:40. > :09:43.loss of life board -- bodily injury. Durham Tees Valley Airport Durham

:09:43. > :09:48.Tees Valley Airport is at the centre of the row over the

:09:48. > :09:52.relaxation of border checks. It is after E-mails claimed that

:09:52. > :09:55.passengers arriving on private plights were not being checked at

:09:55. > :10:00.all. The Border Agency denys this and the airport says it can't

:10:00. > :10:03.comment on what is a UK Border Agency issue. It has been revealed

:10:03. > :10:10.that Newcastle was one of 2 airports where controls were

:10:10. > :10:13.relaxed this summer. Well, it is just three more days until the big

:10:13. > :10:17.night of fundraising and fun for the BBC's Children In Need appeal.

:10:17. > :10:22.This week on Look North we are looking at some of the hundreds of

:10:22. > :10:27.good causes that have been helped by money raised by you, here in the

:10:27. > :10:33.North East and Cumbria. Tonight we hear one teenager's story of how

:10:33. > :10:37.she was driven to attempting suicide after a lifestyle of

:10:37. > :10:45.underage drinking and bullying. And how the north Benwell youth project

:10:46. > :10:53.helped to give her hope for the future. Kids having fun after

:10:53. > :10:57.school. Off the street, and out of danger. This is the north Benwell

:10:57. > :11:03.youth project. Offering a safe environment for local youngsters in

:11:03. > :11:09.one of the most deprived parts of the country. The youngsters growing

:11:09. > :11:12.up in Benwell live chaotic lives, surrounded by decay. Seven years

:11:12. > :11:17.ago a documentary highlighting Britain's streets of poverty

:11:17. > :11:21.focused on Benwell and the dangers of drink, drugs and violence for

:11:21. > :11:27.the kids growing up with little hope. Kids like Jackie, now a

:11:27. > :11:32.worker on the project. But living a very different lifestyle in her

:11:32. > :11:39.early teens. I used to go and sit in the park and get slaughtered and

:11:39. > :11:44.that used to be our daily routine after school. When I when it got to

:11:44. > :11:48.Friday we were like, it is Friday, it is time to get (BLEEP). At 13

:11:48. > :11:53.Jackie was drinking to blot out her own existence, with no-one to turn

:11:53. > :12:00.to. I felt I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. I don't talk

:12:00. > :12:03.to my family, and most of all, I can't talk to my mam. I nerve could.

:12:03. > :12:09.After years of bullying and name- calling at school about her weight

:12:09. > :12:17.and her glasses, Jackie was already self-harming. When life got too bad

:12:17. > :12:22.she even tried to end it. I calfed my name in my arm. I tried cutting

:12:23. > :12:28.my wrists by cutting my veins and stuff. I tried to slit my throat,

:12:28. > :12:35.and I took an overdose. I was 20 minutes away from dying. Jackie's

:12:35. > :12:40.story is one of many in a community where poverty combined with

:12:40. > :12:43.multicultural rivalry can maybe a vol time environment. Some of the

:12:43. > :12:47.issues are worse than they were, with the economic climate and

:12:47. > :12:51.benefits and the cuts in funding and the policing of the area, we

:12:51. > :12:55.will find that crime starts the rise and it has recently, with

:12:55. > :13:02.violent incidents. John took part in the streets of poverty film.

:13:02. > :13:05.Seven years on, he says Benwell's streets look better but the dangers

:13:05. > :13:11.maybe worse Drink is a massive issue. It is not just the drinking

:13:11. > :13:16.it is the knock on effects from the drink. With young peopling

:13:16. > :13:18.depressed. Some people self-harming. We get more people attending the

:13:18. > :13:22.prosqect who have serious mental health problems. The weekly

:13:22. > :13:26.football session is one way of bridging the cultural difference,

:13:26. > :13:32.that is how Jackie got involved with the project and started to

:13:32. > :13:38.turn her life round. She is still getting weekly counselling but she

:13:38. > :13:43.is studying for an NVQ to become a professional youth worker. I was

:13:43. > :13:47.grateful. That made me think. Do I want to talk the cowards way out

:13:47. > :13:51.and hurt everyone round us? I thought right, I'm going to sort

:13:51. > :14:00.myself out, and, I want to become a youth worker and help the young

:14:00. > :14:05.people in the community in the way I have been helped. He seems to be

:14:05. > :14:08.on the right track. The 2011 Children In Need party is being

:14:08. > :14:13.held at Beamish Museum in Stanley and the BBC will be there. It is

:14:13. > :14:22.free to enter. The gates open at six so why not head along for

:14:22. > :14:26.Pudsey's party? Now, he wrote the song that has become an anthem for

:14:26. > :14:31.a nation t Geordie nation, the main singer song writer of the biggest

:14:31. > :14:34.band to come from Tyneside, now there are calls for Alan Hull from

:14:34. > :14:37.Lindisfarne to be remembered in the city where he was born and brought

:14:37. > :14:43.up. It was 40 year ago that month his most famous song was released

:14:43. > :14:47.to take the charts by storm. # Slipping down slowly

:14:47. > :14:53.# Slipping down sideways sh # Think I'll sign off the dole

:14:53. > :14:57.# The Fog on the Tyne is all mine # The Fog on the Tyne is all mine #

:14:57. > :15:01.Alan Hull wrote Fog On The Tyne. The worldwide hit that helped make

:15:01. > :15:05.the five Geordies of Lindisfarne famous round the world. Born in

:15:05. > :15:11.Benwell he is seen here in rare Look North footage from the '60s.

:15:11. > :15:16.Alan wrote most of the group's songs and Newcastle City Hall was

:15:16. > :15:24.where some of the most memorable concerts were staged. They sold out

:15:25. > :15:29.140 times and for 17 performed their Christmas concerts. He was

:15:29. > :15:33.good company and a very talented song writer. Alan died in 1995 when

:15:33. > :15:36.he was 50. Now there is a call for him to be remembered by his home

:15:36. > :15:41.city in some way. One school of thought would be the memorial to

:15:41. > :15:45.Alan is his song, but, I think you have to remember before, before

:15:45. > :15:50.Lindisfarne and they would never have worked without his songs,

:15:50. > :15:55.Tyneside wasn't cool. After Lindisfarne it was it was. He would

:15:55. > :16:01.love it if there was a pub named after him, or a beer. Or perhaps a

:16:01. > :16:09.street Alan Hull way or the bar in the City Hall. Hully's Bar.

:16:09. > :16:14.Something that befits the man. dreams are all have #

:16:14. > :16:19.He is featured in a new film about the Tyne and his songs. It is

:16:19. > :16:23.released today and will raise money for local charities. Newcastle City

:16:23. > :16:29.Council rejected suggestions of a memorial back in 2006. Now they are

:16:29. > :16:32.prepared to let the people decide. Absolutely, the City Council is

:16:32. > :16:36.committed to find a way to recognise his achievement and many

:16:36. > :16:39.of the others of the legends of this local area. Obviously

:16:39. > :16:45.Lindisfarne did to Newcastle what The Beatles did for Liverpool. We

:16:45. > :16:55.want to find a way to best remember him.

:19:01. > :19:05.so they forget about little shops which exist. And in Stockton where

:19:05. > :19:10.27% of the town's units are empty, it is more than important that

:19:10. > :19:18.people remember that shops like Tom's are here. Even if it takes a

:19:19. > :19:23.feature film to do so. I bet you have a few? I have a few. Most of

:19:23. > :19:27.them nicked. It is a long story. Leave it until after the sport. Yes,

:19:27. > :19:31.we start with football, the international break is a worrying

:20:44. > :20:48.but the one thing is the weather is too windy. I like fans in

:20:48. > :20:53.Sunderland, they are very fascinated and yeah, I like it. I

:20:54. > :20:58.enjoy it much. The fans haven't had too many chances to enjoy his

:20:58. > :21:02.talent but he did get off the mark in only his fourth game for the
