:00:06. > :00:15.Welcome to Thursday's BBC Look North. Tonight Kong could this man
:00:15. > :00:21.be the saviour of Darlington Football Club? -- tonight: Could
:00:21. > :00:25.this man. It is not fair that we have to pay
:00:26. > :00:29.the fare. Workers on the Tyne and Wear Metro demand free travel.
:00:30. > :00:35.And the magnificent seven - but how does it feel when a mother of four
:00:35. > :00:40.is told she is having triplets? Terrifying, shocked. But happy, it
:00:40. > :00:45.was like a blessing. You could take it as a curse, I think.
:00:45. > :00:49.And the best of British! With six months to the start of the Olympics,
:00:49. > :00:53.we meet another of our 2012 hopefuls.
:00:53. > :01:03.And what about the man leading the revival of Hartlepool football
:01:03. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:09.club? The roller-coaster ride to save
:01:09. > :01:15.Darlington Football Club took another dramatic twist today as
:01:15. > :01:20.news emerged of a potential saviour for the club. He is Paul Wildes, a
:01:20. > :01:24.35-year-old businessman based in Cheshire, who has offered to invest
:01:25. > :01:29.up to �300,000. But the Quakers' future is still uncertain as talks
:01:29. > :01:32.continue to try to thrash out a deal. The BBC has been given access
:01:32. > :01:36.to top-level meetings as the clock ticks down to the deadline to reach
:01:36. > :01:42.an agreement. Peter Harris has been following the latest developments
:01:42. > :01:49.and joins us live. Peter. This could yet go down to the wire,
:01:49. > :01:53.you know. This club was given a dramatic last-minute stay of
:01:53. > :01:58.execution last week, but it is obvious tonight that the parties
:01:58. > :02:02.concerned are still very much locked in talks. There are two
:02:02. > :02:08.options: One is a group that wants to knock the stadium down, put
:02:08. > :02:11.houses on the site and move the team to a smaller stadium. But
:02:11. > :02:15.today all of the top has been about this businessman who has come
:02:15. > :02:19.forward to is talking about retaining the stadium. That will
:02:19. > :02:22.surprise some because many people think of the ground here as
:02:22. > :02:27.something off of white elephants. He has been talking to the rescue
:02:27. > :02:34.group. We would there to film those talks. He said he believes he can
:02:34. > :02:39.make this stadium and asset rather than a liability. -- we were there.
:02:39. > :02:43.A week ago, this. He has no right to liquidate the club. We have the
:02:43. > :02:49.money we need to keep the club going to the end of the month.
:02:49. > :02:54.last night the fans who want to rescue the club thought they had
:02:54. > :03:00.that -- had a hint of a deal. At the centre, this venture capitalist
:03:00. > :03:03.to believes he can make it work. Having the stadium as an asset
:03:03. > :03:06.rather than a liability is a challenge that I think I have the
:03:06. > :03:13.tools to be able to do. I also think I have the passion to make it
:03:13. > :03:20.work. This was the deal. Mr Wildes puts in up to �300,000, the fans
:03:20. > :03:30.another �200,000. They then get two seats on the board. The stadium
:03:30. > :03:35.would then be leased from landlords for 13 years. The arena has been a
:03:35. > :03:39.drain on resources. I quite like the sound of it. I have a worry
:03:39. > :03:44.about the long-term view, in terms of keeping the stadium. I have to
:03:44. > :03:52.say, for a Tarhuna size, are more intimate, ambient atmosphere is
:03:52. > :03:58.probably the best way forward. have never seen the arena as part
:03:58. > :04:04.of a sustainable club. But there is a motion in there as well. That is
:04:04. > :04:08.my concern. Paul Wildes' plan apparently
:04:08. > :04:12.involve concerts and a training academy, as well as the football,
:04:12. > :04:18.to make money. But there is a covenant on the site which has
:04:18. > :04:22.restricted development. Then there are the existing debts, including
:04:22. > :04:27.those to former chairman Raj Singh. Mr Wildes says they held positive
:04:27. > :04:31.talks, but if Mr Singh wants his money back, it is a major problem.
:04:31. > :04:35.Mr Wildes said he hoped to be chairman by the weekend. But it is
:04:35. > :04:38.clear there are still a lot -- there is still lots to be done. The
:04:39. > :04:44.administrator wants a deal to be done within days. There is not much
:04:44. > :04:48.time. So Paul Wildes very much still an option, but far from a
:04:48. > :04:52.done deal. The other group who want to knock the ground down at have
:04:52. > :05:00.been told they will have talks tomorrow. I wonder what the fans
:05:00. > :05:04.make of this tonight. Earlier, we spoke to them. Earlier this morning,
:05:04. > :05:12.somebody, they said, was putting their money into the club. It is
:05:12. > :05:16.good for the club and they deserve it. They will never have 27,000
:05:16. > :05:21.fans fill that stadium. I think it is fantastic. Darlington needs to
:05:21. > :05:25.keep the stadium, no matter what happens. I am all for it, as long
:05:25. > :05:29.as Darlington Football Club is saved. That is all I want.
:05:29. > :05:34.thought it might be useful to tell you a bit more about Paul Wildes,
:05:34. > :05:37.because he could yet be the saviour of Darlington Football Club. Few
:05:37. > :05:41.people in our region will have heard much about him. He is not
:05:41. > :05:44.from the serious. My colleague, Gerry Jackson, has been looking at
:05:44. > :05:49.a man who has become very prominent and made a lot of money for himself
:05:49. > :05:53.in a very short time. As far as the supporters' group is concerned, it
:05:53. > :05:58.seems that Paul Wildes is already a figurehead. Whether or not he turns
:05:58. > :06:03.out to be good white knight, he is certainly an ambitious businessman.
:06:03. > :06:08.He is 35, born in Sheffield, where he began his financial career, he
:06:08. > :06:11.now lives in Cheshire, close to other business interests. His wide
:06:11. > :06:21.range of interests include property development, hotels, student
:06:21. > :06:29.accommodation, restaurants, beauty salon its and hairdressers. His
:06:29. > :06:33.company group includes the Wildes Hotel Group. He is said to have an
:06:34. > :06:40.enviable track record in business turnarounds. It is said he wants to
:06:40. > :06:43.develop a �400 million for -- portfolio of business within the
:06:44. > :06:46.next four years. A lot of Darlington's hopes seemed to rescue
:06:46. > :06:50.it -- to rest on his financial cloud.
:06:50. > :06:55.I think we should end with what we started with - that this could yet
:06:55. > :07:01.go down to the wire. Fans will be biting their nails. Someone pointed
:07:01. > :07:06.out a few minutes ago that there is a game on Saturday against York
:07:06. > :07:13.City or. They had a big turnout last week and are hoping for the
:07:13. > :07:23.same again. If you would like to know more, the BBC's Inside ALT

:07:35. > :07:40.who missed four warning signs before crashing into a bridge has
:07:40. > :07:43.been given a 12 week suspended sentence. 51-year-old Trevor Wilson
:07:43. > :07:50.from Stockton said today he was very sorry for what had happened.
:07:50. > :07:55.12 students were injured in the crash. Wilson admitted he had
:07:55. > :08:05.relied on a passenger for directions.
:08:05. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:13.It was a shocking sight. Students described chaotic scenes as the
:08:13. > :08:16.roof of the bus was shaved off. looked at other people, they had
:08:16. > :08:22.blood coming down the side of their faces. People were shaking with
:08:22. > :08:26.panic, some were screaming and crying. It was just complete chaos.
:08:26. > :08:30.Trevor Wilson, the court heard, was an experienced driver but had never
:08:30. > :08:39.driven that route before. He had also never driven a double-decker
:08:39. > :08:44.bus for 15 years. Unsure of the route, he asked a student for
:08:44. > :08:51.directions. About 200 yards from the bridge there is the first
:08:51. > :08:57.warning sign. Then it was round this roundabout and a second sign
:08:57. > :09:02.saying that there was a low bridge 600 yards away. Trevor Wilson drove
:09:02. > :09:05.past a third warning sign. With the bridge clearly inside, a fourth and
:09:06. > :09:11.final warning sign, but still he carried on before crashing into the
:09:11. > :09:14.bridge. Mr Wilson's solicitor said the crash has had a devastating
:09:14. > :09:20.effect on his life. Anything you would like to say to
:09:20. > :09:24.the youngsters involved? Just sorry for whatever happened. He is
:09:24. > :09:28.genuinely devastated, as I said in court, about what happened. He
:09:28. > :09:32.would love the opportunity to apologise in person to the children
:09:32. > :09:37.and the parents and the school. He bitterly regrets what happened and
:09:38. > :09:43.is just thankful that, luckily, everyone seems to have got away
:09:43. > :09:50.without serious injury. Wilson was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison,
:09:50. > :09:54.suspended for 12 months. A man who died after being struck
:09:54. > :09:58.by a Metro train has been named as 45-year-old Matthew John Thornton
:09:58. > :10:02.from Skipton in North Yorkshire. Police appealed for help in
:10:02. > :10:06.identifying him after he died on January 13th, having apparently
:10:06. > :10:14.stepped into the path of a train between Heworth and tier stations.

:10:24. > :10:28.Felling stations. A man was trapped at Conmech by an
:10:28. > :10:32.eight ton machine. It moved along a railway track and wedged the man
:10:32. > :10:37.against another piece of equipment. He suffered severe injuries,
:10:37. > :10:41.including multiple broken bones. Cleaners on the Tyne and Wear Metro
:10:41. > :10:45.were demanding the right to travel free on the service. Their union
:10:45. > :10:49.says that, while other Metro staff get travel passes, the cleaners
:10:49. > :10:54.have to pay. They had a protest in Newcastle today and already have
:10:54. > :10:57.the backing of five North East MPs. So far their employers and Metro
:10:57. > :11:02.managers have refused to budge. Here is our political editor,
:11:02. > :11:06.Richard Moss. The metal cleaners are used to an early starts a this
:11:06. > :11:10.9EM protest was no hardship. They were picketing a meeting of the
:11:10. > :11:18.transport authority that oversees the Metro, asking for free travel
:11:18. > :11:23.on the network that they keep clean. Weekly Metro on a daily basis. We
:11:23. > :11:27.do not give any travel facilities whatsoever, so we have to pay to go
:11:27. > :11:31.to work on the Metro that we work on. I think it is all merely write
:11:31. > :11:38.that cleaners, who earned the minimum wage, should be given free
:11:38. > :11:42.travel on the Metro. We're saying to Nexus, the parent body, that the
:11:42. > :11:45.staff were really hard, they do a damn good job on your behalf, the
:11:45. > :11:48.least you can do is give them a free travel pass for the Metro
:11:48. > :11:53.system. The problem is that the Transport
:11:54. > :11:58.Authority say they do not have the power to give out these passes.
:11:58. > :12:02.Nexus say it is a matter that should be dealt with between the
:12:02. > :12:06.cleaners and their employer. But the employer says it does not have
:12:06. > :12:10.the power to give out free passes. At the moment, nobody seems to have
:12:10. > :12:14.an answer. Next has would not talk to me or the cleaners today, but
:12:14. > :12:19.the chairman of the transporter authority did come out to get this
:12:19. > :12:25.earful. They are at Sunderland and Newcastle Central, they deserve
:12:25. > :12:34.better than that is why they should get a free travel pass. He did see
:12:34. > :12:38.merit in their cause. I am sure we can. That is why I am going to ask
:12:38. > :12:42.the Director General to meet with them and try to come up with a
:12:42. > :12:52.resolution. So some cause for hope but, for now, these cleaners will

:15:22. > :15:28.that used to go to his hands and arms. These will be re-routed and
:15:28. > :15:32.rewired to his chest and the nerve endings will grow. In future, he
:15:32. > :15:39.will only have to think about moving his hand and the nerves and

:21:08. > :21:11.training ground, though, is Hartlepool United manager, Neale
:21:11. > :21:15.Cooper. Last month he returned to the job he left in 2005. He did
:21:15. > :21:21.spot one or two familiar faces. And Pools have started climbing the
:21:21. > :21:25.League One table, since the boss got to know the rest of his squad.
:21:25. > :21:28.It's almost as if he'd never been away when, in fact, it was six
:21:28. > :21:30.years since he'd steered Hartlepool to within sight of the Championship.
:21:30. > :21:39.Former skipper Micky Barron and long-serving Richie Humphreys are
:21:40. > :21:46.still around and that's helped Neale Cooper feel right at home.
:21:46. > :21:50.lot of the office staff are the same, I think the majority are.
:21:50. > :21:56.Ritchie and Micky played for me and Mickey was captain when I was here
:21:56. > :21:59.before. They have been a tremendous help. On the coaching side and
:21:59. > :22:04.advising the about the players, and the three of us work well together
:22:04. > :22:07.and there is a good bond. I just love it, coming back and being on
:22:07. > :22:10.the training field again. The Scot left before Pools reached the 2005
:22:10. > :22:17.League One play-off final against Sheffield Wednesday. Instead, he
:22:18. > :22:24.had to watch that extra-time thriller on TV. It was hard but
:22:24. > :22:29.that's football. It was a fantastic achievement. If you put a good run
:22:29. > :22:37.of games together again, it is funny, you can win a few or lose
:22:37. > :22:40.and be down a back up there. Can we do that? That is what we will set a
:22:40. > :22:43.target for a full stop It's six months until the start of the
:22:43. > :22:46.Olympic Games, and to mark the countdown, the North East hosted
:22:46. > :22:48.some special guests today. Among them was Olympic gold medal winner
:22:48. > :22:51.Darren Campbell MBE, who's been meeting schoolchildren and local
:22:51. > :22:59.business people. He was hoping to offer some words of inspiration
:22:59. > :23:02.ahead of the big event this summer. The one thing I'd say about the
:23:02. > :23:08.people of the North East, they are already inspired when it comes to
:23:08. > :23:12.sport. They know how to support it so that can never be questioned.
:23:12. > :23:16.What it will do is maybe inspire people who maybe are not into
:23:16. > :23:21.athletics and into through-ball to maybe have a little look at the
:23:21. > :23:23.sports that are available. Talking of the Olympics, this is a
:23:23. > :23:25.crucial year for one of our most versatile sportswomen. Katy
:23:25. > :23:28.Livingston, from Redcar in Cleveland, came seventh in the
:23:28. > :23:31.Modern Pentathlon at Beijing four years ago, but she's long set her
:23:31. > :23:33.sights on competing in the five disciplines for Team GB at London
:23:33. > :23:36.2012. It hasn't always been a smooth run
:23:36. > :23:39.for Katy Livingston since Beijing. She found changes to her sport,
:23:39. > :23:44.especially combining the running and laser pistol shooting events -
:23:44. > :23:47.two of her strongest disciplines - difficult to adjust to. But after a
:23:47. > :23:50.good winter's training, she's hoping to win selection for the
:23:50. > :23:58.first two World Cup competitions of the season which would improve her
:23:58. > :24:02.chances of representing GB at the Olympics this summer. There are six
:24:02. > :24:06.or seven of us and only four spaces for the World Cup so the teams have
:24:06. > :24:11.not been selected yet. It is very close but I am glad I have not
:24:11. > :24:15.retired, or if I do not get picked, I will not stop on a bad one. I
:24:15. > :24:17.will feel good about what I have achieved. The Modern Pentathlon is
:24:17. > :24:20.a gruelling 12 hour sport combining equestrian, fencing, and swimming
:24:20. > :24:28.as well as running and shooting disciplines. But can Katy make it
:24:28. > :24:33.to London? The big event to get picked for that is the world
:24:33. > :24:37.championships this year without finally Mr qualify for the Olympics.
:24:37. > :24:40.If she is picked, she has the ability and temperament to do what
:24:40. > :24:43.she needs to do. Having competed last weekend in the final selection
:24:43. > :24:52.trials at her usual University of Bath training base, Katy must now
:24:52. > :24:55.wait to see if her Olympic dream is still on track.
:24:55. > :25:00.What have support from her proud dad there and quite right. Now time
:25:00. > :25:09.for the weather, and we have not had any suggestion as to what it
:25:09. > :25:13.It will be quite when to be over the next day with a taste of one to
:25:13. > :25:18.today and these wintry showers continue tomorrow. Sunshine as well
:25:18. > :25:22.but a dusting of snow was well on the top of the hills. No
:25:22. > :25:26.significant snowfall. It is clear for most of the north-eastern North
:25:26. > :25:29.Yorkshire with a fair few wintry showers and the West. It is cold
:25:29. > :25:35.with a touch of frost first thing tomorrow when temperatures around
:25:35. > :25:38.about freezing or just below by first thing tomorrow morning. At
:25:38. > :25:42.Clear started the day and then sunshine to come for much of North
:25:42. > :25:46.Yorkshire and for the North East coast, in particular, a lovely day
:25:46. > :25:50.here. Watcher showers and the West but these will fall us know over
:25:50. > :25:55.the top of the North Pennines and the Cumbrian fells. Into Friday
:25:55. > :26:00.afternoon, temperatures just below average for the time of year
:26:00. > :26:03.between four and six Celsius. One or two 20 flurries over the North
:26:03. > :26:10.Pennines and over the Cumbrian fells. What's of sunshine in
:26:10. > :26:14.between the showers. A fine end to the day. Over the next few days,
:26:14. > :26:18.bright skies in much of the north- eastern North Yorkshire. Actually
:26:18. > :26:21.start to the weekend and expect Ross to start the day on Saturday
:26:21. > :26:25.and then once again the temperatures just below average for
:26:26. > :26:32.January. Things get cloudier in the West on Saturday evening and then
:26:32. > :26:37.on Sunday, a spell of rain for Carlisle and much of Cumbria. Much
:26:37. > :26:43.of the rain will spell at Celtic Eastwards. Edging its way into
:26:43. > :26:48.Northumberland and parts of the Wear Valley. For Teesside in North
:26:48. > :26:53.Yorkshire, a fine end to the weekend. We all have crept Synod
:26:53. > :26:57.next from looking up words to the Northern Lights. A reminder that
:26:57. > :27:01.started week ends tonight. We are all being asked to count the number
:27:01. > :27:11.of stars we can see in the constellation of taurine to build a
:27:11. > :27:18.light pollution map of the UK. -- light pollution map of the UK. --
:27:18. > :27:20.Now for a last look at tonight's headlines. Senior staff at a school
:27:20. > :27:23.in Somerset have been strongly criticised for failing to protect
:27:23. > :27:26.children from a teacher who was jailed last year for sexual abuse.
