:00:09. > :00:11.Welcome to Friday's Look North. No, Deputy Prime Minister. The
:00:11. > :00:17.Government's billion pounds scheme to tackle youth unemployment gets
:00:17. > :00:20.short shrift from this job-seeker. Just watch me, how Lily's
:00:20. > :00:25.successful struggle to walk has inspired another youngster to
:00:25. > :00:30.follow in her footsteps. Winter draws on, or does it? A year
:00:30. > :00:34.ago it looked like theirs. Our predictions of another white hell
:00:34. > :00:39.wide of the mark? The new Bishop of Durham reveals a
:00:39. > :00:44.path that might surprise you. We meet the Manchester United fan
:00:44. > :00:47.doing his best to help Newcastle upset the odds at Old Trafford. And
:00:47. > :00:57.the Sunderland boss Steve Bruce on coping with the pressure, the
:00:57. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:09.He is the Deputy Prime Minister, she is an unemployed young person
:01:09. > :01:12.from Teesside and today they have had a disagreement. On the day the
:01:12. > :01:18.Government unveiled its �1 billion plan to tackle youth unemployment
:01:18. > :01:23.Nick Clegg took to the airwaves. He told the BBC national radio
:01:23. > :01:30.programme that 20 year-old Krystina Robinson could benefit from the
:01:30. > :01:34.Government's plans. The trouble is, she does not agree.
:01:34. > :01:38.Krystina Robinson is 20 and has been out of work for five months,
:01:38. > :01:45.so she was today Caerphilly taking in the Government's 1 bn town plans
:01:45. > :01:51.to tackle youth unemployment. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg
:01:51. > :01:57.says he will help young people to learn or learn. No one is giving
:01:57. > :02:03.young people a chance to get experience in work. They want
:02:03. > :02:08.people with experience, but you cannot get experience unless you
:02:08. > :02:13.have a job. By the time Krystina caught up with the news, her case
:02:13. > :02:17.had already featured on BBC network radio and she had a very personal
:02:17. > :02:23.response to the Deputy Prime Minister. I've applied online and
:02:23. > :02:27.handed in my CV and no one has got back to us. Krystina is 20 and has
:02:27. > :02:31.been out of work for five months and feels demoralised and it is
:02:31. > :02:35.heart-wrenching to listen to it. She will be able to take up work
:02:35. > :02:40.experience locally where employers at no cost to them will be able to
:02:40. > :02:46.employ her for eight weeks. That is a big step change in the life of
:02:46. > :02:50.Krystina. But Krystina does not feel like that. It is eight weeks
:02:50. > :02:57.doing work. When the eight weeks are up you will be back to square
:02:57. > :03:02.one. You might not have a job. There might be somebody who gets a
:03:02. > :03:05.employed, but there will be a few who do not. Tonight the Deputy
:03:05. > :03:12.Prime Minister said as a statement saying he felt Chris Dean and
:03:12. > :03:19.others like her will still find the Government's Youth Contract Scheme
:03:19. > :03:23.youths will -- useful. A six-year-old girl who overcame
:03:23. > :03:29.the odds to learn to walk has inspired another child to try to do
:03:29. > :03:34.the same. Earlier this year we met Lily Gordon. Cerebral palsy meant
:03:34. > :03:37.that Lily could not walk on her own, but major surgery in the US has
:03:37. > :03:41.helped her and now another youngster, Callum Brown from
:03:41. > :03:48.Northumberland, has his heart set on the same surgery and the same
:03:49. > :03:56.goal, to be able to walk. Lily Gordon underwent major
:03:56. > :04:02.pioneering surgery in Missouri to help her walk for the first time.
:04:03. > :04:09.just took a couple of steps and fell over. She was quite tearful.
:04:09. > :04:13.She walked for the first time about four weeks ago. She was sat on the
:04:13. > :04:20.sofa and I was only about two feet away, but she stood up and walked
:04:20. > :04:24.towards me. She got excited and collapsed on top of me. We met her
:04:24. > :04:29.before she flew out on her 6th birthday. Her parents had heard of
:04:29. > :04:38.the operation, Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, radical surgery on the
:04:38. > :04:43.spine and nerves, but surgery that means Lily can now walk. Now I can
:04:43. > :04:48.take a couple of steps by myself. Her story has inspired another
:04:48. > :04:54.youngster, Callum Brown from Northumberland. Seven year-old
:04:54. > :05:00.Callum also has cerebral palsy. His legs are in a constant crab and his
:05:00. > :05:08.family are now raising the �50,000 they need for the same operation.
:05:08. > :05:12.want to walk. It is unbelievable how much it has made such a
:05:12. > :05:20.difference to Lily's life and I can only watch and hope we get there to
:05:20. > :05:26.do the same. Holly Mills, thought to be the longest surviving person
:05:26. > :05:29.with variant CJD has died. Holly, 26, died at home in North Yorkshire.
:05:29. > :05:34.She had battled for eight years with a condition which was linked
:05:34. > :05:37.to mad cow disease. There were men seriously ill in hospital after
:05:37. > :05:43.taking so-called legal high tablets in Newcastle.
:05:43. > :05:47.It is thought she bought the polls from a shop called the happy ship -
:05:47. > :05:51.- Happy Chip on Waterloo Street. The woman is in a critical but
:05:51. > :05:57.stable condition. Two men and a 17 year-old boy have been arrested on
:05:57. > :06:01.suspicion of drugs offences. Plans to make cuts to the BBC's
:06:01. > :06:09.local radio stations have upset politicians and listeners. It plans
:06:09. > :06:13.licence fee settlement and has proposed cuts to regional current
:06:13. > :06:18.affairs programmes and some live weather forecasting and 20% staff
:06:18. > :06:23.cuts to local radio stations. The stations in Tees, Newcastle and
:06:23. > :06:32.Cumbria will lose local programmes and share staff. The BBC insists it
:06:32. > :06:37.will protect the most popular programmes.
:06:37. > :06:42.Breakfast on BBC Tees, peak listening time. The BBC's says cuts
:06:43. > :06:48.it should not affect the show, but afternoon, evening and some weekend
:06:48. > :06:53.programme will be shared regionally or across the whole of England.
:06:53. > :06:57.Breakfast, at mid-morning, dried thyme sport is where 86% of the
:06:57. > :07:00.audience spend their time. Where we have less money and if we can
:07:00. > :07:05.detect that side of the business, that is more important than
:07:05. > :07:10.spending money in off-peak times. But that is not what Brian wants to
:07:10. > :07:14.hear. He has been tuning in to BBC Tees for 40 years. Since his wife
:07:14. > :07:24.died, it has become a lifelike and says Sherrin programmes will be a
:07:24. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:30.mistake. It will no longer be local radio anymore. You will get
:07:30. > :07:35.programmes from Manchester and Leeds. It loses its identity.
:07:35. > :07:39.Unions fear all programmes will be affected. Sharing programmes and
:07:39. > :07:43.the afternoon would save perhaps two jobs on the station that did
:07:43. > :07:48.not have its programme. They are talking about seven and nine, so
:07:48. > :07:54.where are the other jobs coming from? Of course other programmes
:07:54. > :07:59.will be affected. The cuts are also worrying the region's politicians.
:07:59. > :08:03.Listeners have until the end of the year to make their views known.
:08:03. > :08:10.The proposed BBC regional cuts will be discussed on the Politics Show
:08:10. > :08:13.this Sunday. The Metro operator Nexus says its
:08:13. > :08:19.ban on mobility scooters on the Tyne and Wear Metro will stay in
:08:19. > :08:24.place. It was introduced in 2008 after four incidents in which users
:08:24. > :08:28.fell onto the line twice after crashing through closed train doors.
:08:28. > :08:34.Nexus says it cannot find a way they can be carried without an

:08:37. > :08:43.Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena next Saturday has been postponed. He is
:08:43. > :08:47.ill with pneumonia. The dates are being re-scheduled.
:08:47. > :08:52.Small businesses in Whitby claim that closure of part of one of the
:08:52. > :08:56.town's Peers has had a devastating effect on trade. Scores of anglers
:08:56. > :09:03.who usually fish off the West Pier extension are going elsewhere,
:09:03. > :09:07.taking their spending power with them. For Jackie Greaves the
:09:07. > :09:13.closure three months ago of Whitby's West Pier extension has
:09:13. > :09:22.been a disaster. Her two angling shops in the town have been hit
:09:22. > :09:28.hard. We went from selling 20 kits the day to none. The phone started
:09:28. > :09:32.ringing, people were asking if it was true that the peer was close to,
:09:32. > :09:36.saying they would ring back in a few weeks and now the phone never
:09:36. > :09:41.rings. The business as a health the online store and that is expanding,
:09:42. > :09:45.but other businesses in Whitby do not have that luxury. 50 anglers a
:09:45. > :09:50.day have just melted away from the town. They don't go to the
:09:50. > :09:53.newsagents, the pub, they don't eat out, they don't use the guest
:09:53. > :09:58.houses and that tackle shops. extension was closed because the
:09:58. > :10:02.old crossing was unsafe. A temporary one will be in place next
:10:02. > :10:08.week and a permanent one will follow. But for Paul Kilpatrick who
:10:08. > :10:12.takes anglers out on his boat he cannot understand why it has taken
:10:12. > :10:19.Scarborough Borough Council so long to get that temporary crossing in
:10:19. > :10:23.place. It is shocking it has taken so long. Three months, it is crazy.
:10:23. > :10:28.The man from the council has the answer. It is bureaucracy,
:10:29. > :10:32.basically, but also making sure it is done properly. Work will start
:10:33. > :10:39.next week and we are told with a fair wind it will be completed next
:10:39. > :10:44.week. There is one angler on the Pier at Whitby. Sadly for Martin
:10:44. > :10:52.and Jackie's shop and Paul's boat it is only this oversized, metal
:10:52. > :10:56.sculpture. Can you remember what you're doing
:10:56. > :11:00.a year ago today? If you were digging your car out of a snow
:11:00. > :11:06.drift or looking after a child whose school was closed I bet you
:11:06. > :11:12.do. November 25th was when the big freeze came. But this year it is
:11:13. > :11:17.one of the mildest November as on record. Adrian were shivering last
:11:18. > :11:24.year, but not tonight. No, it is milder tonight, but still
:11:24. > :11:28.a little bit chilly. November 25th last year was when the big freeze
:11:28. > :11:36.started. We were caught napping by that huge snowfall which came a
:11:36. > :11:41.month before Christmas. At daybreak on November 25th last year, we were
:11:41. > :11:46.all waking up to a winter Wonderland, or in other words a
:11:46. > :11:54.driver's nightmare commute to work. Roads were blocked, schools were
:11:54. > :11:58.closed and we were digging in for two weeks of very cold weather.

:12:18. > :12:23.business it has not been very good. Will it be the third hard winter in
:12:23. > :12:32.a row? We thought a Russian man might know. I think this winter is
:12:32. > :12:37.going to be cold. If you see the berries, it is only the sign. I
:12:37. > :12:41.suggest the winter is going to be culled. The a keep saying we are
:12:41. > :12:46.going to have a hard one, but we are hoping we will not get one.
:12:46. > :12:52.you think it is scare stories? Sometimes, sometimes. They
:12:52. > :12:55.exaggerate a bit, I think. It is looking like we are going to get
:12:56. > :13:00.away with it at the moment, but closer to the end of the year it
:13:00. > :13:05.might start kicking in. I think it will definitely snow, maybe a
:13:05. > :13:10.little bit late after Christmas this time. Do you like there is no?
:13:10. > :13:16.I like it when you do not have to go out in it. Christmas Day would
:13:16. > :13:19.be perfect. There is one young lady's Christmas wish. We are all
:13:19. > :13:29.amateur weather forecasters and I have got a professional with me

:15:05. > :15:09.it looks a godly enough sort, but could be counted as one of the
:15:09. > :15:15.awkward squad. The new bishop has a background in the oil industry. He

:22:48. > :22:51.You get that feeling, that adrenalin rush.
:22:51. > :22:54.There will be plenty of adrenalin this weekend as well and you can

:23:04. > :23:09.
:23:09. > :23:16.you support? I am a man United fan. And we play them this weekend. I'm
:23:16. > :23:19.want to take on three points and I am convinced we can.
:23:19. > :23:23.And Danny will have to draw on all that self-belief on his first
