:00:10. > :00:13.young driver who knocked down and killed a nine-year-old boy as he
:00:13. > :00:19.played on a housing estate. Council cuts planned which will
:00:19. > :00:24.affect some of the most vulnerable in our community. People will be
:00:24. > :00:28.isolated and lonely. There is a lack of understanding all round.

:00:43. > :00:46.In sport, the region hosts three big derby matches this weekend but
:00:46. > :00:56.only one of them will see the winner reach the fifth round of the

:01:05. > :01:08.A pizza delivery driver is starting a prison sentence tonight after he
:01:08. > :01:13.knocked down and killed a nine- year-old boy as he played on a
:01:13. > :01:18.Teesside housing estate. James Burns, who is 19, was driving at
:01:18. > :01:23.more than 50 mph when he drove into Brandon Maggs, who was crossing the
:01:23. > :01:27.road on his scooter. The accident started at the start of the school
:01:27. > :01:35.summer holidays and has led for calls for speed limits to be
:01:35. > :01:39.reduced to 20 mph on our housing estates.
:01:39. > :01:45.19-year-old James Burns was working as a pizza delivery driver when, on
:01:45. > :01:49.15th July last year, he drove on to a housing estate. It was a late
:01:49. > :01:59.summer's afternoon on a fine day at the start of the school holiday
:01:59. > :02:04.season. He negotiated a bend at the same time as Brandon Maggs began to
:02:04. > :02:09.cross the road on his scooter. He saw the boy and try to stop but
:02:09. > :02:13.went into a skid. He could not avoid the collision. Brandon Maggs
:02:14. > :02:18.suffered severe head injuries. Despite the help of paramedics and
:02:18. > :02:23.the air ambulance, he was pronounced dead. The court was told
:02:23. > :02:27.that James Burns must have been travelling at at least 51 mph, this
:02:27. > :02:32.on a housing estate with a speed limit of 30 mph.
:02:32. > :02:35.Sentencing him to three years of youth custody, the judge said that
:02:35. > :02:39.this was an accident caused by excessive speed. He would have to
:02:39. > :02:44.live with the fact that he had taken the life of a young boy with
:02:44. > :02:50.great potential. Afterwards, Brandon's family had this to say
:02:50. > :02:54.through a police liaison officer. Burns will now have time to reflect
:02:55. > :02:59.on the consequences of his actions. I hope this sends a message out to
:02:59. > :03:04.other young men of his age who think it is cool to drive in excess
:03:04. > :03:07.of the speed limit, beyond their capabilities, and to treat built up
:03:07. > :03:10.areas as a race track, with no thought for children playing in the
:03:10. > :03:15.area. James Barnes says he does not know
:03:15. > :03:23.why he was driving so fast. He has not been behind the wheel of a car
:03:23. > :03:26.since. -- James Burns.
:03:26. > :03:33.Local councils are cutting that their social care budget, which
:03:33. > :03:36.pays for things like meals-on- wheels, day-care and home helps.
:03:36. > :03:42.Darlington and Middlesbrough councils have already removed the
:03:42. > :03:45.upper limits on some charges, while Northumbria and Cumbria --
:03:45. > :03:51.Northumberland and Cumbria may follow suit. Charities say it
:03:51. > :03:54.affects the most vulnerable people. Norma and Jean are on a regular
:03:54. > :03:58.trip. They both live on their own in Darlington and can go days
:03:58. > :04:02.without seeing anyone. But today is a good day because they are making
:04:02. > :04:06.a trip to see friends at a day-care centre. Coming here is becoming
:04:06. > :04:16.more expensive for both of them. A few months ago Jean was paying
:04:16. > :04:18.
:04:18. > :04:21.nothing, now she has to stump up �60 a month.
:04:21. > :04:25.Darlington, Middlesbrough and North Yorkshire have already scrapped
:04:25. > :04:29.their weekly care charge limit. As budgets are squeezed, other
:04:29. > :04:36.councils want to follow suit. Northumberland wants to scrap its
:04:36. > :04:40.cap, and Cumbria council wants to remove the cap over the next three
:04:40. > :04:45.years. I think it is a false economy. The councils will end up
:04:45. > :04:48.paying more in the long run because people will be isolated and lonely.
:04:49. > :04:53.There is a lack of understanding all round. At the local council,
:04:53. > :04:57.they are facing nearly �11 million of cuts this year. They say they
:04:57. > :05:00.have had no choice but to rip -- to increase charges because the
:05:00. > :05:06.Government is not giving them enough money to cope with increased
:05:06. > :05:10.demand. We have people with complex needs. We want people to remain in
:05:10. > :05:14.the community in their own homes and, as far as possible, prevent
:05:14. > :05:17.them from going into a hospital. There is a cost to that.
:05:17. > :05:22.The Department of Health said that councils had a share of �7.2
:05:22. > :05:30.billion, which means they have enough to maintain the current
:05:30. > :05:38.levels of access and eligibility. You can see more on that on Sunday
:05:38. > :05:43.Politics this Sunday at midday on BBC One.

:05:46. > :05:51.Charlie Cameron Clark lived in Gainford near Darlington with his
:05:51. > :05:55.parents. He was five months old when he was admitted a hospital
:05:55. > :06:00.with serious head injuries last year. He later died from his
:06:00. > :06:03.injuries. Lee Clark, who is 27, was charged with manslaughter and is
:06:03. > :06:07.due before Peterlee magistrates tomorrow.
:06:07. > :06:12.A new drug treatment for children with leukaemia is being trialled at
:06:12. > :06:15.a Newcastle hospital. 15 children will receive the treatment at the
:06:15. > :06:20.Great North Children's Hospital. The trial will also run at four
:06:20. > :06:25.other hospitals around the country. Specialists say that, while they
:06:25. > :06:33.are hopeful of success, there is a long way to go. It has been years
:06:33. > :06:37.in development. We had the first trials in adults. It takes years
:06:37. > :06:42.for a drug to develop and I think we really have to see and learn how
:06:42. > :06:44.to use them to see whether they make a difference. If we really see
:06:44. > :06:50.that they make a difference, that is the time when I get excited
:06:50. > :06:56.about it. Middlesbrough's Gallery of Modern
:06:56. > :07:00.Art, MIMA, is celebrating its fifth anniversary this weekend. Another
:07:00. > :07:06.reason for celebration - it has attracted more than 700,000
:07:06. > :07:10.visitors since it opened. Currently about 125,000 people a year come to
:07:10. > :07:16.see its exhibitions, around 15,000 more than the annual target. It is
:07:16. > :07:21.also claimed that the gallery helps to maintain Teesside's economy.
:07:21. > :07:25.Five years ago there was something of a debate over a MIMA - was it
:07:25. > :07:31.too expensive? Was Middlesbrough the right place? Would people come?
:07:31. > :07:36.Well, it seems that they have, more than 700,000 visitors. As a bonus,
:07:36. > :07:42.MIMA is helping out the local economy, bringing in �1.3 million a
:07:42. > :07:51.year. We do bring in a lot of money to the local economy, not just
:07:51. > :07:54.Middlesbrough but the surrounding area. People visit as during the
:07:54. > :07:58.day and sometimes stay overnight, combining as with other attractions
:07:58. > :08:02.in the area. It has brought in a significant additional spend.
:08:02. > :08:05.Perhaps the only argument that remains is that sometimes the
:08:05. > :08:09.exhibitions are a little too obscure, not populist enough.
:08:09. > :08:14.would love people to give us comments about what they want to
:08:14. > :08:18.see. We are still evolving as an organisation and understanding what
:08:18. > :08:23.people expect to see and want to see. This group seems to have no
:08:23. > :08:27.problem. A weekly meeting for young children, getting them used to the
:08:27. > :08:32.gallery experience. It is a fund group and it is always very
:08:32. > :08:36.creative and enjoyable. You can hear, it is a lovely group to be
:08:36. > :08:42.part of. It is gritting domestic -- getting the message out that we do
:08:42. > :08:45.this, come along and enjoy it. children are encouraged to come
:08:45. > :08:49.into the art gallery. They look at things and they know they have not
:08:49. > :08:54.to touch. But they just really have a good time and thoroughly enjoy
:08:54. > :08:58.themselves. After all the debate over MIMA, the building, the art,
:08:58. > :09:05.the grants, that endorsement is surely something that cannot be
:09:05. > :09:09.quibbled over. North Yorkshire police say they are
:09:09. > :09:13.not ruling out the possibility that the vandalism of a sculpture in
:09:13. > :09:18.Scarborough was an anti-Semitic attack. The artwork, known locally
:09:18. > :09:22.as Freddie, is in the town's North Bay. Yellow paint was thrown over
:09:22. > :09:28.it last night. It was named after Freddie Gilroy, a soldier who
:09:28. > :09:33.helped to liberate Jews from Belsen concentration camp in World War Two.
:09:33. > :09:41.Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. This is the scene that greeted
:09:41. > :09:48.council cleaners this morning - a yellow gloss paint. As the Queen
:09:48. > :09:55.has got to work, the residents reacted with outrage on Facebook
:09:55. > :10:01.and Twitter. A local woman cash in her life savings to keep Freddie by
:10:01. > :10:07.the sea. The attack has left her dismayed. I cannot believe it. I
:10:07. > :10:11.just felt my heart dropping to my shoes. I said to my husband, we
:10:11. > :10:15.will have to go down and see what has happened, although I did not
:10:15. > :10:22.wish to see it at all. I felt too upset about it.
:10:22. > :10:26.Freddie Gilroy was a coal miner turned soldier. He was one of the
:10:26. > :10:30.first Allied troops to liberate the Belsen concentration camp. Marching
:10:30. > :10:39.across northern Germany, he had little inkling of the horsey was to
:10:39. > :10:45.uncover there. -- the horrors. There has been a lot of speculation
:10:45. > :10:50.about why this has happened. Today is corrupt -- Holocaust Memorial
:10:50. > :10:55.Day and yellow his a colour associated with the persecution of
:10:55. > :11:02.the Jews. It is the colour of the start they were made to wear.
:11:02. > :11:09.is disappointing but we will get past that. -- the colour of the
:11:09. > :11:13.star they were made to wear. The police are keeping an open mind
:11:13. > :11:16.as to the motive. They have certainly not ruled out an anti-
:11:16. > :11:26.Semitic motivation. The clean-up took several theres but was
:11:26. > :11:27.
:11:27. > :11:33.successful. -- several hours. Over 100 running enthusiast had
:11:33. > :11:37.braved icy showers and wins to take part in the filming of a television
:11:37. > :11:42.advert for Cumbrian sports manufacturer New Balance. It is
:11:42. > :11:46.hoping to capitalise on the 22 of Olympics.
:11:46. > :11:54.For what seemed like a hours today, scores of runners shivered they're
:11:54. > :11:57.both good -- shivered their way through the filming of a television
:11:57. > :12:02.advert for local company New Balance. We have to look at
:12:02. > :12:05.everything that we do. We have to constantly keep pushing our
:12:06. > :12:10.wonderful work forced for increased performance all the time. We swim
:12:10. > :12:14.against the tide as a company but we make it work. It is possible to
:12:14. > :12:19.do it what we do here in West Cumbria. We have proved that of the
:12:19. > :12:23.last 30 years. They are hoping that the advert in
:12:23. > :12:26.the run-up to the Olympics will pay dividends. On a bitterly cold might
:12:26. > :12:30.be, you have to admire the determination of these runners,
:12:30. > :12:38.many of whom are local. They are all standing around in freezing
:12:38. > :12:44.cold winds. We wanted to employ people locally. It is freezing and
:12:44. > :12:49.I am thinking, that 60 quid, maybe it is not worth it. If you are used
:12:49. > :12:56.to running on the fells, you get used to the wind and the rain.
:12:56. > :13:00.New Balance sponsor a number of Olympic hopefuls. Some people tend
:13:00. > :13:10.-- some of them came to see how the factory is making their dreams are
:13:10. > :13:16.possibilities. It is nice to see you're equipment made locally.
:13:16. > :13:22.-- your equipment. Still to come - the pen friend --

:13:34. > :13:38.The party is trying to save Darlington Football Club have spent
:13:38. > :13:42.the day in talks as a deadline nears. A consortium which wants to
:13:42. > :13:45.put houses and a leisure facility on the stadium site and wants to
:13:45. > :13:49.put the team on a smaller ground is thought to have held talks with

:14:05. > :14:08.A huge owl is on the loose in South Tyneside. It has attacked one local
:14:08. > :14:13.birdwatcher and swooped at another group of people out on the Cleadon
:14:13. > :14:17.Hills. It is an eagle owl, the world's largest owl, which is the
:14:18. > :14:23.size of an eagle, with a 6ft wingspan. They are native to
:14:23. > :14:26.northern Europe but are commonly kept in captivity in the UK. Our
:14:26. > :14:31.reporter is at Boldon Flats nature reserve tonight. You would not miss
:14:31. > :14:35.it, which you? No, and I have been nervously looking over my shoulder
:14:35. > :14:38.but the story is that two weeks ago a local bird watcher was out here
:14:38. > :14:43.at Boldon Flats. He had noticed that the wild fowl have started
:14:43. > :14:46.going down in number. He was checking on the ducks and he felt a
:14:46. > :14:50.bump on his back. He thought somebody was attacking him. He
:14:50. > :14:57.turned around and there was a huge owl coming at him. Who has
:14:57. > :15:02.apparently been in the area for a year, it escaped from captivity. We
:15:02. > :15:06.have some pictures to tell you what eagle owls are all about. They are
:15:06. > :15:10.a magnificent predator at the very top of the food chain. Powerful
:15:10. > :15:15.enough to prey on foxes, small deer and other birds of prey. Eagle owls
:15:15. > :15:20.are found across northern Europe and Asia. They are not native to
:15:20. > :15:25.the UK but captive birds owned by falconers who all bird collections
:15:25. > :15:28.have escaped and bred in the British countryside. This pair
:15:28. > :15:33.nested in North Yorkshire for almost a decade where they fed
:15:33. > :15:39.their young are largely on rabbits. But those in urban areas have more
:15:39. > :15:44.limited food choices. Cats are potential victims, or the ducks on
:15:44. > :15:51.the Boldon Flats nature reserve. Towns mean people and the potential
:15:51. > :15:54.for conflict. A large and powerful bird with a
:15:54. > :15:59.very distinctive ear tufts and that is important because these four
:15:59. > :16:08.young people actually saw the bird on Cleadon Hills on Sunday night.
:16:08. > :16:13.What happened next? We went to see the male and on the way through the
:16:13. > :16:22.field, it was fairly dark and I noticed something appear on the
:16:22. > :16:27.horizon. We saw the distinctive beers. We thought it was a dog. One
:16:27. > :16:33.of us thought it was a wall. I will not tell you who! When we were
:16:33. > :16:42.about ten feet away we realised just that it was a large bird of
:16:42. > :16:47.prey. Its wingspan was as large as my arm span. It flew off. It
:16:47. > :16:53.swooped over and landed next to the mill. We followed it and managed to
:16:53. > :16:59.get a shot a bit from about six feet away. Then it flew off and
:16:59. > :17:09.stripped back at us. We hit the floor as fast as we could! It came
:17:09. > :17:10.
:17:10. > :17:15.out again. Might research on the internet... De owl has been on the
:17:15. > :17:19.loose ball about a year. As yet, no attempts to recapture it.
:17:19. > :17:23.The work of an award winning artist from Tyneside will soon be reaching
:17:23. > :17:28.further afield. Paul Hutchinson works as a full-time illustrator,
:17:28. > :17:33.captain some of the region's most famous faces. Now he has been asked
:17:33. > :17:37.to help disadvantaged youngsters at the Ubuntu Education Project at
:17:37. > :17:43.Port Elizabeth in South Africa. I just love people's faces. It is
:17:43. > :17:47.nice to be able to focus in on some body. The digital world of artist
:17:47. > :17:52.Paul Hutchinson in Whickham. It is a totally different world to be
:17:52. > :17:56.very poor area of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. That is where Paul
:17:56. > :18:00.has been asked to visit, to share his artistic talent. I love to see
:18:01. > :18:05.kids enjoying themselves. The idea of going somewhere where kids
:18:05. > :18:10.probably do not know what a caricatured years or do not know
:18:10. > :18:14.much about art from other cultures, it would be great fun. And I am
:18:14. > :18:18.encouraged to try it at. Certainly in South Africa it will be just pen
:18:18. > :18:21.and paper and anything else that happens to be lying around, whether
:18:21. > :18:27.it is stones or anything that happens to be lying around I am
:18:27. > :18:32.happy to use. How will you help the children in Africa to draw? I am
:18:32. > :18:38.interested to see what sort of things they like to draw. And
:18:38. > :18:43.whether or not they are taught how to draw or whether they just have a
:18:43. > :18:50.natural ability. That is the intriguing thing for me. Let's see
:18:50. > :18:57.how you have done. Oh, wow! It is fantastic. It is really good.
:18:57. > :19:05.Absolutely fantastic. Well done. so it is one he made earlier, but
:19:05. > :19:08.the talent should shine through in South Africa.
:19:08. > :19:13.There is lots, and I mean lots, of local interest in football this
:19:13. > :19:17.weekend. This weekend is FA Cup weekend and
:19:17. > :19:21.the biggest tie in our region is the Wear-Tees derby at the Stadium
:19:21. > :19:24.of Light on Sunday afternoon. To mark the occasion, which set up a
:19:24. > :19:29.unique live three-way link between Look North and the BBC's local
:19:29. > :19:32.radio stations, which cover Sunderland and Middlesbrough. First
:19:32. > :19:35.let's look ahead to the fourth round tie.
:19:35. > :19:40.Sunderland are at home but in the Premier League team and unlike the
:19:40. > :19:46.bra they are on a pretty good run at the moment but this is the FA
:19:46. > :19:50.Cup and the Derby as well. -- the Boro. It will not be easy. If
:19:50. > :19:55.Middlesbrough will be really up for it. We have to be up for it
:19:55. > :19:59.ourselves. We desperately want to try to get through. You have had a
:19:59. > :20:05.decent start to the year. We have hit a sticky patch of form and yet
:20:05. > :20:10.sometimes derby games can be a bit of vote leveller. We need to go in
:20:10. > :20:14.there and ask questions of them. Lee Cattermole, if he was not
:20:14. > :20:18.playing for Sunderland he would be cheering on the Boro. I would love
:20:18. > :20:23.to see them come back up, be where they have turned things round.
:20:23. > :20:28.Things are going well and they have a good manager in Tony Mowbray.
:20:28. > :20:33.Pat Small's counterpart as captain on Sunday will be his best mate,
:20:33. > :20:38.Matthew Bates. It is something about growing up as kids we never
:20:38. > :20:42.thought would really happen. I wish him all the best all the time and
:20:42. > :20:48.it will be a great occasion but as soon as the whistle goes week will
:20:48. > :20:52.be challenging each other. But we will share a coffee after the game.
:20:52. > :20:55.Our two radio stations, BBC Tees and BBC Newcastle are in the middle
:20:56. > :21:02.of their evening sports shows. We are interrupting for just a couple
:21:02. > :21:05.of minutes. In a moment we will have to Teesside but first, in the
:21:05. > :21:10.BBC Newcastle studio, Simon Pryde has with him the one time
:21:10. > :21:20.Sunderland sticker that -- skipper, Gary Bennett. Plenty of Cup talk
:21:20. > :21:20.
:21:21. > :21:26.already? Yes, since 5:30pm. We're here every night. They know nails
:21:26. > :21:33.his colours to the Sunderland mask but you also have a stake in the
:21:33. > :21:37.Boro side? You s, my son. I think Sunderland will win. I think we are
:21:37. > :21:40.going into the game with a lot of confidence and we have to look at
:21:40. > :21:45.Middlesbrough the last two or three games have been struggling to put a
:21:45. > :21:48.result together. But form goes out the window but I think we have got
:21:48. > :21:54.too much quality for them. So a Sunderland victory, your
:21:54. > :21:59.confidently predicting? Yes, maybe 2-0 or 3-1. That has been the
:21:59. > :22:03.general consensus, it has to be said. Premier League quality, at
:22:03. > :22:11.home advantage, current form line all point towards a Sunderland
:22:11. > :22:17.victory. Thank you. I am sure they will see Devenney on Teesside. Week

:22:21. > :22:26.nothing to lose. They are going in as the underdogs and great he did,
:22:26. > :22:31.they will have a right good go. what does he know? They will attack
:22:31. > :22:35.them and get at them and if they score the first goal and quiet and
:22:35. > :22:40.the crowd down it could be a frustrating afternoon for them.
:22:40. > :22:44.3,000 Boro fans going. Could have been a lot more. Should have been a
:22:44. > :22:50.lot more but I am sure there will be a fantastic atmosphere. I cannot
:22:50. > :22:53.wait. And the new boy up front, he could make a difference? The yes,
:22:53. > :22:58.we just expect the hat-trick of him and then everything will be rosy
:22:58. > :23:01.again. So that is the way it looks here on Teesside. They might be
:23:01. > :23:06.Premier League but it is a derby, it is a cup, I think we know what
:23:06. > :23:16.is going to happen! Thank you to everyone at BBC Tees and BBC

:23:48. > :23:53.not in your face. They pass it, they are patient, they try to work
:23:53. > :23:57.at things. You have to admire that. It is hard to do that in the
:23:57. > :24:02.Championship and get success. It would be nice to get as close as we
:24:02. > :24:05.can to Europe in the league and have to have as big a Cup run as we
:24:05. > :24:09.can have and this is a tough game. If we can get through this hurdle,
