Hello and welcome to BBC Look North. In the programme tonight: Mind

:00:04.:00:06.

power - an exclusive report on the north-east soldier injured or

:00:06.:00:09.

Afghanistan, as surgeons prepare to give him an arm he can operate with

:00:10.:00:15.

his brain. Also tonight: Found dead in his cell - the Tyneside

:00:15.:00:19.

paedophile serving 16 years for child abuse.

:00:19.:00:22.

The young rower battling for a place in the British Paralympic

:00:22.:00:27.

team after losing most of a leg to cancer. And the story of a football

:00:27.:00:30.

club on the brink of extinction. Not Darlington, though. A new

:00:31.:00:32.

exhibition recalls the nail-biting weeks when Middlesbrough faced

:00:33.:00:38.

bankruptcy. Later we'll talk to one of

:00:38.:00:41.

Middlesbrough's current stars ahead of this weekend's FA Cup derby at

:00:41.:00:44.

Sunderland. And we'll find out which of these characters will be

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:00:59.

tackling the region's newest marathon race.

:00:59.:01:03.

He is only 24 but his story is becoming ever more remarkable. Two

:01:03.:01:06.

years ago, Corporal Andrew Garthwaite lost an arm when he was

:01:06.:01:09.

blown up in Afghanistan, another young casualty having to come to

:01:09.:01:13.

terms with life changing circumstances. Now, in an operation

:01:13.:01:15.

lasting six hours, surgeons in Vienna have rewired his nervous

:01:15.:01:23.

system so he can operate a bionic arm with his mind. Andrew, from

:01:23.:01:26.

South Tyneside, is the first person in the UK to receive the pioneering

:01:26.:01:29.

treatment. Our reporter Sharon Barbour has been following

:01:29.:01:38.

developments in Vienna and has this exclusive report.

:01:38.:01:41.

I press the button and then I get an audible tone to say that the arm

:01:41.:01:45.

has come on. Andrew Garthwaite's story is already remarkable. After

:01:45.:01:48.

his arm was blown off in Afghanistan, he was the first

:01:48.:01:55.

soldier from the UK to have a bionic arm fitted. He could ride

:01:55.:01:59.

his bike after another arm was made for him. But the soldier's story

:01:59.:02:03.

became even more extraordinary. He is about to have pioneering surgery,

:02:03.:02:06.

a reconstruction of his nerve system so that he can operate a

:02:06.:02:16.
:02:16.:02:27.

bionic arm by thought control. Andrew has come to Vienna for

:02:28.:02:31.

ground-breaking surgery. Doctors hope that he will be able to

:02:31.:02:37.

operate his bionic arm will using just his mind. Andrew will be one

:02:37.:02:41.

of the few people in the world to have the operation, so to find out

:02:41.:02:44.

what it will be like, we visited Robert Schilef. He had the nerve

:02:44.:02:47.

surgery six months ago and is learning to operate a bionic arm

:02:47.:02:54.

with his mind.. He thinks of flexing the elbow and it flexes. He

:02:54.:02:58.

could not do that six months ago. Now I tell him, for example, to

:02:58.:03:08.
:03:08.:03:08.

open the hand. Perfect. How much does it mean to you to have some of

:03:08.:03:16.

that feeling back? He says that it makes a huge difference to him.

:03:16.:03:19.

these boys made world headlines when they chose to have their own

:03:19.:03:28.

hands amputated and bionic ones fitted. With a new hand it is

:03:28.:03:33.

really 100% better than before. do not call it my prose thesis,

:03:33.:03:43.
:03:43.:03:46.

this is my hand. We have come to meet the engineers

:03:46.:03:49.

working closely with the surgeons at the hospital. I want to find out

:03:49.:03:59.
:03:59.:03:59.

from them have it will be that Andrew's mind will control his arm.

:03:59.:04:07.

He can use the same muscles and nerves as he did before, and the

:04:07.:04:13.

nerves generate the muscle signal. So the operation tomorrow should

:04:14.:04:16.

mean that, far from being robotic, his arm movement should be natural.

:04:17.:04:19.

But first he needs a six-hour operation to rewire his nerves into

:04:20.:04:28.

his chest. This means that we take all of the

:04:28.:04:33.

nerves originally from his arm and it re-route them to muscles in his

:04:33.:04:37.

chair so that, when he thinks of moving his hand, are more fingers,

:04:37.:04:42.

the different muscles in his chest wall will start a fire. Then it

:04:42.:04:48.

will take up to six months to start to read -- retrain my brain. It

:04:48.:04:53.

will feel like it is going in my chest at first and then after 18

:04:53.:04:59.

months I should be an expert. is really a remarkable story for

:04:59.:05:06.

you to be part of, isn't it? It has been. I am just back from Vienna. I

:05:06.:05:12.

was really struck by the interest. There were a lot of people taking

:05:12.:05:15.

photographs and a huge surgical team and bionics team working with

:05:15.:05:20.

Andrew. This is the first of two parts. Tomorrow we will look at

:05:21.:05:26.

surgery taking place. Because his arm was blown off in Afghanistan

:05:26.:05:30.

they normally do not do that. They have to find the nerves that they

:05:30.:05:34.

can rewire into his chest so that he can use his arm and his hand

:05:34.:05:38.

again. We will have the second part of his story tomorrow night. Thank

:05:38.:05:46.

you very much. It's one of the strangest crime stories we have

:05:46.:05:49.

seen. And today it took another twist with the news that the

:05:49.:05:51.

convicted paedophile Martin Smith has been found dead in his prison

:05:51.:05:54.

cell. Smith was sentenced to 16 years at Carlisle Crown Court last

:05:54.:05:57.

year. But before that happened, his partner was arrested for the murder

:05:57.:06:00.

of their two young children in Spain. Our chief reporter, Chris

:06:00.:06:08.

Stewart, has the story. He was an amateur hypnotist who wanted to

:06:08.:06:13.

become famous, but he became infamous instead. Martin Smith was

:06:13.:06:22.

jailed for the repeated abuse of a girl over nearly ten years. What he

:06:22.:06:27.

did had a devastating effect on her. Today he begins a lengthy prison

:06:27.:06:31.

sentence. And I hope that the outcome of this case will help the

:06:31.:06:35.

victim move on with her life. She has shown great courage in

:06:35.:06:39.

reporting what happened and in giving evidence against him during

:06:39.:06:46.

the trial. The victim was Sarah, the daughter of Smith's Park are.

:06:46.:06:50.

That emerged only when Sarah we've -- waved her legal right to

:06:50.:06:58.

anonymity. The Smiths had lived in Carlisle. Leanne worked in the

:06:58.:07:00.

children's services department for Cumbria County Council. After his

:07:00.:07:05.

arrest, the pair fled to Spain. This bizarre story became even more

:07:05.:07:10.

tragic. Leanne had moved into a hotel on the Costa Brava, and it

:07:10.:07:14.

was here that a two youngest children died - Rebecca, who was

:07:14.:07:19.

five, and 11 month-old Daniel, who had been suffocated. Leanne was

:07:19.:07:23.

arrested. Spanish police said she told them she had killed them

:07:23.:07:26.

rather than risk them being taken into care because of the

:07:26.:07:31.

accusations against Martin Smith. Those accusations were true and now

:07:31.:07:35.

Martin Smith's life has ended in a cell at Strangeways Prison in

:07:35.:07:42.

Manchester. There is now to be an inquiry. No other prisoner is

:07:42.:07:46.

suspected of involvement. The man at the centre of this strange case

:07:46.:07:56.
:07:56.:07:57.

is believed to have hanged himself. A former Cleveland police officer

:07:57.:08:00.

who lost his job after he was falsely imprisoned has been awarded

:08:00.:08:02.

nearly �400,000 in compensation. Traffic officer Sultan Alam was

:08:02.:08:06.

sacked after being convicted in a car ringing trial. He spent time in

:08:06.:08:10.

prison before the conviction was overturned. As well as the six-

:08:10.:08:18.

figure sum in damages, his loss of earnings is still to be calculated.

:08:18.:08:21.

Police say at least five families have come forward to ask about the

:08:21.:08:24.

woman whose body has been a exhumed from Malton cemetery in North

:08:24.:08:27.

Yorkshire. Her body was discovered near Sutton Bank in 1981 but no one

:08:27.:08:31.

knows who she was or how she died. Tests have been done to extract a

:08:31.:08:40.

DNA to find out her identity. The body has been reburied today.

:08:40.:08:43.

Petrol tanker drivers on Teesside are striking for a second day. They

:08:43.:08:45.

claim their employer, haulage firm Wincanton, is trying to reduce

:08:45.:08:49.

their pay by as much as 20%. And as the strike is due to last until

:08:49.:08:52.

next week, the drivers claim petrol supplies to motorists could be

:08:52.:08:57.

affected. Our business correspondent Ian Reeve reports.

:08:57.:08:59.

The striking drivers claim that their employer wants to erode their

:08:59.:09:02.

terms and conditions and that new contracts will effectively mean a

:09:02.:09:09.

20% pay cut. They take petrol from this refinery at Seal Sands on

:09:09.:09:12.

Teesside and deliver it to nearly 400 Jet service stations around the

:09:12.:09:20.

country. About 100 drivers are on strike and the claim is that we

:09:20.:09:30.
:09:30.:09:30.

will see an impact at Jet stations, a dwindling of supplies.. What we

:09:30.:09:34.

have is drivers delivering vehicles with up to 40,000 litres of fuel on

:09:34.:09:39.

the back. There are 123 drivers on strike and they make up to three

:09:39.:09:43.

deliveries a day. It doesn't take a mathematician to work out that we

:09:43.:09:48.

are talking about and one million gallons of fuel per day. The unions

:09:48.:09:50.

say that the pressure to renegotiate the drivers' terms has

:09:50.:09:54.

come from the company that runs the refinery. And while it is true that

:09:54.:09:57.

refining has been hit by the high price of crude oil but the low

:09:57.:10:00.

price of refined products, it says it has nothing to do with the

:10:00.:10:10.
:10:10.:10:14.

dispute. It is quite incredible saying that the oil companies --

:10:14.:10:18.

seemed that the oil companies have made the largest profits they ever

:10:18.:10:22.

have. These conditions have been fought for over a number of years.

:10:22.:10:29.

Enough is enough. For its part, the company that employs the drivers

:10:29.:10:33.

says that it is just trying to provide a competitive service and

:10:33.:10:39.

to ensure that it gets its contract renewed. By going on strike, the

:10:39.:10:42.

drivers have now jeopardised In spite of that, the drivers say they

:10:42.:10:52.
:10:52.:10:54.

will carry on with the strike until next Tuesday. -- have now

:10:54.:11:01.

jeopardised their jobs. A young rower from Northallerton

who lost most of his right leg Is fighting for a place in the

:11:06.:11:08.

British Paralympic team. Laurence Whiteley, now 20, has been

:11:08.:11:11.

inspired by the memory of a North Yorkshire servicemen killed in Iraq

:11:11.:11:15.

whose memorial trust is now sponsoring his campaign. A winter's

:11:15.:11:18.

day on the River Tees. A biting wind and a gentle swell

:11:18.:11:25.

and one determined young man. Laurence Whiteley. I started rowing

:11:25.:11:30.

when I was young. I got born cancer in my leg. I am now training for

:11:31.:11:38.

the Paralympics. Doctors at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in

:11:39.:11:42.

Newcastle got him back on his feet again and rebuilt his leg using

:11:42.:11:44.

titanium. Since taking up adaptive rowing, Laurence's one goal has

:11:44.:11:50.

been the Paralympics. He has been very successful. He decided to take

:11:50.:11:56.

as -- a change of direction and start growing. He has been asked to

:11:56.:12:06.
:12:06.:12:07.

go and train with the British team. -- start row when. To help him get

:12:07.:12:11.

there, he has won sponsorship from the Ben Hyde Trust, named after the

:12:11.:12:14.

young Northallerton military policeman murdered in Iraq in 2003.

:12:14.:12:20.

Buckle I was impressed by the courage and determination that he

:12:20.:12:24.

had. He was always determined about everything that he did. I thought

:12:24.:12:29.

it would make him an ideal candidate for funding. The trials

:12:29.:12:35.

for the 1,000 metres adaptive rowing will be held in March.

:12:35.:12:40.

a few seconds behind my main rival. I will do the race a couple of

:12:40.:12:45.

times, crunch the numbers. Whatever happens, Laurence will have some

:12:45.:12:48.

part to play in this summer's spectacle. He has already been

:12:48.:12:58.
:12:58.:12:58.

selected to carry the Olympic torch. Residents in Newcastle will get the

:12:58.:13:02.

chance to vote on the idea of having their own mayor sooner than

:13:02.:13:06.

planned. 11 cities are set to have a referendum on the idea in May.

:13:06.:13:10.

And if people vote Yes to it, the actual elections could happen in

:13:10.:13:18.

November. The Government hopes city mayors will help boost the economy.

:13:18.:13:20.

The Cumbria-based Stobart Group has secured the naming rights to Rugby

:13:20.:13:23.

League's elite club competition. The agreement will see the

:13:23.:13:25.

competition become the Stobart Super League, and a brand new logo

:13:25.:13:29.

will be put on more than 100 of its trailers. It will be launched next

:13:29.:13:32.

Wednesday with a convoy of branded Eddie Stobart trucks driving from

:13:32.:13:40.

Widnes to Old Trafford. Coming up: Jeff has the latest on

:13:40.:13:43.

the sports front. And, go on then, give us a laugh - the challenge to

:13:43.:13:46.

budding scriptwriters as the BBC looks for the next generation of

:13:46.:13:53.

comedy talent. And the weather for Burns Night is

:13:53.:14:00.

no laughing matter. Join me for the full core of -- forecast later. The

:14:00.:14:02.

gates were padlocked and the football club just minutes away

:14:02.:14:05.

from extinction. It sounds familiar but this time the plot isn't

:14:05.:14:11.

centred around struggling Darlington. It's what happened to

:14:11.:14:13.

Middlesbrough football club in 1986, when their financial problems left

:14:13.:14:16.

them on the verge of being thrown out of the league.Now a new

:14:16.:14:19.

exhibition's opened in the town, celebrating that period, as Stuart

:14:19.:14:29.
:14:29.:14:31.

Whincup reports. The 'Back from the Brink' exhibtion is part of

:14:31.:14:34.

celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the re-birth of the

:14:34.:14:37.

football club. The team - made up largely of local lads who've

:14:37.:14:39.

remianed friends - trained on park pitches, sometimes without pay,

:14:39.:14:48.

unsure if their hometown team would survive. We can look at our

:14:48.:14:51.

neighbours in Darlington. Everybody seems to be aware of every meeting

:14:51.:14:56.

that is going on. In 1986 it was a bit more closed than that. The

:14:56.:15:01.

players were kept in the dark. When you hear the stories of being 37

:15:01.:15:05.

minutes from liquidation, it would have been quite daunting, I think,

:15:05.:15:08.

at the time. Middlesbrough's financil problems were eventually

:15:08.:15:11.

resolved, with a young Steve Gibson signing the Football League forms

:15:11.:15:13.

that guarenteeing their survival just minutes before the deadline.

:15:13.:15:17.

The next day they kicked off at Hartlepool and a young team went on

:15:17.:15:25.

to win back-to-back promotions. There was still a lot of work to do,

:15:25.:15:29.

even after the club had been saved. Out of that adversity I think we

:15:29.:15:33.

had a great togetherness with the lads who stayed involved in the

:15:33.:15:40.

club. I think we use that to her advantage to gain promotions.

:15:40.:15:43.

exhibition also boasts memorabilia from before and after the club's

:15:43.:15:44.

flirtation with liquidatiuon, including Alf Common's

:15:44.:15:47.

international cap. He became the world's first �1.000 player when he

:15:47.:15:51.

joined Boro from Sunderland in 1905. And there's a very special tribute

:15:51.:16:01.
:16:01.:16:07.

to one of Middlesbrough's best Last year we told you how the North

:16:07.:16:11.

East was chosen to be the centre of the BBC's search for its next

:16:11.:16:15.

generation of comedy talent. So have we found it? 600 comedy

:16:15.:16:20.

scripts and sketches turned up and today at team from Northern Film

:16:20.:16:23.

and Media unveiled some of the best writers and performers they have

:16:23.:16:31.

found. Gerry Jackson reports. If success is 1% inspiration...

:16:31.:16:35.

Have a look at the chart on the far wall and read as far down as you

:16:35.:16:41.

can. And 99% perspiration, back rooms

:16:41.:16:46.

like these are where you sweat. Comedy is a serious business and

:16:46.:16:54.

behind the glitz and the glory are hours of graft. Be careful not to

:16:54.:16:58.

fall into the fiery pit of eternal damnation on your where it will --

:16:58.:17:01.

on your way out. We will have to get that fix.

:17:01.:17:05.

Hundreds of people sent in material. They have been whittled down to 31

:17:05.:17:10.

and they now get the chance to pitch their ideas to radio and

:17:10.:17:15.

television bosses at the BBC. of them are immediately funny,

:17:15.:17:18.

others you think, that is not funny yet but it could be with a bit of

:17:19.:17:22.

help. There are people in the room who have written for the first time.

:17:22.:17:26.

We feel like we're really going to discover people who are going to go

:17:26.:17:31.

on and be the stars of tomorrow. A fantastic is that? One writer from

:17:31.:17:36.

Newcastle gave up a 20-year retail Korea for a shot at comedy. She is

:17:36.:17:42.

one of those shortlisted. It is really just in the last three a

:17:42.:17:45.

four years that it has hit me that I did not want to do that job for

:17:45.:17:48.

the rest of my career, I really wanted to do something more

:17:48.:17:55.

creative. I am going to give it a go. Why not? I think this is a

:17:55.:17:58.

great project because a lot of comedy comes out of London, but

:17:58.:18:01.

something like this means there are a lot of people who might want to

:18:01.:18:10.

do it in the region. This gives them opportunity. Ashore at

:18:10.:18:19.

Newcastle's Live theatre will be broadcast on the BBC over Easter.

:18:19.:18:23.

Then, who knows? Somebody might make it big and become a comedian.

:18:23.:18:28.

The only way to find out if these people can do it is to do it.

:18:28.:18:33.

would you advise them? I would advise them to grow thick skin and

:18:33.:18:40.

keep going. Geoff, we started with something

:18:40.:18:43.

tonight that I could see you signing up for.

:18:44.:18:50.

I do not want to go on about my knee.

:18:50.:18:54.

If you are keen runner and you fancy tackling a marathon for the

:18:54.:18:59.

first time, the date for your diary is May the 6th. The Marathon of the

:18:59.:19:03.

North will happen on the streets of Sunderland. It is part of a weekend

:19:03.:19:08.

of Bank Holiday events. Last year the region's most successful

:19:08.:19:14.

athlete launched Sunderland's owned 10 grey to run. This year there

:19:14.:19:18.

will be the city's first marathon and a whole host of events centred

:19:18.:19:22.

around the Stadium of Light. City Council are keen to develop a

:19:22.:19:28.

portfolio of events right through the summer. On the Saturday we will

:19:28.:19:35.

have some kids events, toddler events. There will be some

:19:35.:19:40.

entertainment at the stadium which will be free. There will be running

:19:40.:19:46.

events on the Sunday. It will be sunny, I hope. I am really looking

:19:46.:19:54.

forward to it. A in his first two marathons, Charlie Spedding led the

:19:54.:19:58.

field home before winning bronze at the Los Angeles Olympics. He was an

:19:58.:20:04.

overnight sensation. Well, sort of. The first two marathons I ran, I

:20:04.:20:13.

won. I had years of preparation and then I just had to do a bit of

:20:13.:20:17.

specific marathon training. Most people who are going to run the

:20:17.:20:23.

marathon in the North probably do not have that much background.

:20:23.:20:26.

1,500 runners have already signed up for the big one and if you fancy

:20:26.:20:31.

it you have got just over three months training time left.

:20:31.:20:37.

I am not sure what those characters were. There you go.

:20:37.:20:40.

Talks to secure the long-term future of Darlington have been

:20:40.:20:44.

going on. The players left have been reflecting on a fourth

:20:44.:20:48.

successive league defeat, which leaves them just two places above

:20:48.:20:55.

the conference relegation zone. The team saluted the fans who had made

:20:55.:21:00.

the long journey south. York City picked up and away. Back

last night. Middlesbrough's at Argentinian

midfielder Julio Arca has been reliving the moment he realised he

:21:07.:21:17.
:21:17.:21:22.

had been banned from Sunday's FA Cup Reunion with Sunderland.

:21:22.:21:32.
:21:32.:21:43.

I saw the referee pulled Okada out. This was one of Julio Arca's 23

:21:43.:21:48.

goals during his spell at Sunderland. I was there from a

:21:48.:21:52.

young age. I did pretty well in my six years there. That is probably

:21:52.:21:58.

the reason why do people remember me. The connection with the fans

:21:58.:22:05.

was excellent. That is why he did not milk the celebration when he

:22:05.:22:10.

scored for Middlesbrough against Sunderland. It will be hard to

:22:10.:22:17.

watch from the sidelines on Sunday. Another big season for Northumbria

home game of the new campaign against the Celtic Dragon's this

Saturday. Team Northumbria is one of only eight Super League

franchises. It boasts talent from England, Australia and Namibia. The

:22:35.:22:41.

captain is back after a knee injury and is raring to go. I am back on

:22:41.:22:45.

court now. Last year it was mentally tough. I would come over

:22:45.:22:50.

from Australia ready to play. I have had three months of pre-season,

:22:50.:22:55.

and basically I could not played this and I was just there to

:22:55.:22:59.

support and learn more from a coaching perspective. It has come

:22:59.:23:03.

in handy this year, stepping up to the assistant coach role.

:23:03.:23:13.

Footballers and fast cars can beer volatile mix. But Sunderland

:23:15.:23:21.

Football Club has taken steps to combat that.

:23:21.:23:30.

Down at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland's Young Academy players

:23:30.:23:37.

are learning awareness and control. They are also ensuring that its

:23:37.:23:39.

young professionals stick to the straight and narrow when it comes

:23:39.:23:47.

to driving. Young footballers and fast cars, it is a heady mix. They

:23:47.:23:50.

are a high risk groups so we try to get them early and prevent them

:23:50.:23:53.

from getting in trouble. The club have been fantastic in supporting

:23:53.:23:59.

us. Jordan is making his home debut behind the wheel. I have never

:23:59.:24:03.

driven before but that was a great experience. The most important

:24:03.:24:07.

thing about it I would say his safety. That is why we're doing

:24:07.:24:11.

this course - there have been a few crashes. This will give us an

:24:11.:24:15.

insight into what safe driving is all about. In some ways, it is a

:24:15.:24:20.

good preparation for football itself as the master staying

:24:20.:24:24.

information, crossing and even a bit of dribbling. And of course

:24:24.:24:32.

there is dealing with a critical crowd.

:24:32.:24:36.

It all seemed sensible, doesn't it? Imagine getting behind the wheel of

:24:36.:24:43.

something like a Ferrari at the age of 19.
