:00:05. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. Tonight...
:00:08. > :00:13.The teacher who set fire to himself after feeling under pressure over
:00:13. > :00:19.exam results. He was and still remains really a much loved, valued,
:00:19. > :00:22.respected member of staff. I want an apology! A top doctor's
:00:22. > :00:26.demand after being hauled in front of his bosses for opposing NHS
:00:26. > :00:30.reforms. 777 lift off! The arrival of a new
:00:30. > :00:33.aircraft is hailed as a big vote of confidence in the North.
:00:33. > :00:38.And how computer games are helping young hospital patients cope with
:00:38. > :00:40.the pain and stress of their illness.
:00:40. > :00:46.In sport, find out what the Newcastle United manager thinks of
:00:46. > :00:56.the re-naming of St James's Park. And we meet the youngster who's a
:00:56. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:07.First tonight, an inquest has heard how a teacher set fire to himself
:01:07. > :01:11.in a school car park, because he felt under pressure to get good
:01:11. > :01:16.exam results. David Charlesworth, who taught science at Rossett
:01:16. > :01:18.School at Harrogate in North Yorkshire, died the day after. His
:01:18. > :01:22.wife told the hearing how Mr Charlesworth believed he wasn't up
:01:22. > :01:28.to standard as a teacher and felt he would let his students down. The
:01:28. > :01:31.coroner recorded a verdict of suicide.
:01:31. > :01:34.It was in the early hours of May 11th last year that teacher David
:01:34. > :01:38.Charlesworth set fire to himself in the car park close to the main
:01:38. > :01:45.entrance of Rossett school. Despite suffering 79% burns, he'd managed
:01:45. > :01:49.to get himself home. But he died in hospital the following day. The
:01:49. > :01:53.inquest was told that Mr Charlesworth, a science teacher,
:01:53. > :01:59.felt under pressure to get good exam results. He told his wife he
:01:59. > :02:03.was worried he was not up to standard and might like down pupils
:02:03. > :02:07.studying for high grades. His doctor referred him to a mental
:02:07. > :02:11.health team, but there was a waiting list and no assessment was
:02:11. > :02:14.ever made. Today, Rossett's head teacher paid tribute to a member of
:02:14. > :02:23.staff who cared passionately for the welfare and achievements of his
:02:23. > :02:27.students. From our point of view, he was and still remains really a
:02:27. > :02:34.much loved, valued, respected member of staff. From the Students
:02:34. > :02:39.point of view, he was known well, always had time for every child,
:02:39. > :02:44.whether those children were taught by him or not. He had a perception
:02:45. > :02:50.about, its someone was in trouble off feeling down, he would always
:02:50. > :02:54.find that and, the children said he was a legend. Teachers unions say
:02:54. > :03:00.the case highlights the danger of stress in a demanding profession.
:03:00. > :03:03.It is the latest of a catalogue of incidents, where teachers have
:03:03. > :03:08.found distress of the job unbearable. The teachers bound
:03:08. > :03:14.themselves believing they had nowhere else to turn. It is always
:03:14. > :03:21.distressing hearing the stories. It is not the first, and I doubt it
:03:21. > :03:24.will be the last. A verdict of suicide was recorded. And the North
:03:24. > :03:26.Yorkshire coroner, Geoff Fell, said he would be writing to the local
:03:26. > :03:36.primary care trust raising concerns about Mr Charlesworth's
:03:36. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:39.difficulties in accessing mental health services.
:03:39. > :03:42.Cumbria's Director of Public Health is demanding an apology from the
:03:42. > :03:45.Health Secretary after he was hauled in front of his bosses for
:03:45. > :03:48.opposing government health reforms. Professor John Ashton says he feels
:03:48. > :03:51.bullied by the government. But the Department of Health says it had
:03:51. > :03:55.nothing to do with what happened and the decision to call Professor
:03:55. > :04:01.Ashton in was made locally. It was the letter he never expected
:04:01. > :04:04.to receive. Cumbria's Director of Public Health summoned to see his
:04:04. > :04:11.bosses because of his opposition to the government's Public Health Bill.
:04:11. > :04:13.But today, he remained resolute. He argued it is his role to highlight
:04:13. > :04:20.anything he believes will damage the public health service. And he
:04:20. > :04:26.went further than that. This came from Leeds or elsewhere, and I want
:04:26. > :04:32.an apology, because I feel bullied. That is my position. The British
:04:32. > :04:36.Medical Authority agrees with me. Not looking after narrow
:04:36. > :04:43.professional interests, but saying bullying is unacceptable. This is
:04:43. > :04:47.bullying, to get a letter like that to your house out of the blue is
:04:48. > :04:51.unacceptable. $$WHITR In the original letter sent to professor
:04:51. > :04:53.John Ashton by his bosses at NHS Cumbria, he was told that it is
:04:53. > :04:57.inappropriate for individuals to raise their personal concerns about
:04:57. > :05:00.proposed government reforms. subsequently, NHS Cumbria has
:05:00. > :05:05.released a statement in which it says senior managers are free to
:05:05. > :05:07.express their opinions as individuals. But they should always
:05:07. > :05:13.remain mindful of expressing those opinions on political issues as
:05:13. > :05:17.individuals, not on behalf of the NHS. Professor Ashton served for a
:05:17. > :05:20.year as a Labour councillor in the early 1980s and is a member of the
:05:20. > :05:27.Labour Party. But has worked with politicians on all parties as part
:05:27. > :05:31.of his role in public health. not acting politically, I am acting
:05:31. > :05:36.professionally, drawing on the evidence of what will happen if we
:05:36. > :05:40.go down the road of private health insurance, which is what the
:05:40. > :05:42.building blocks of this are for. Today, the Department of Health
:05:42. > :05:47.said all decisions about Professor Ashton had been made by his
:05:47. > :05:49.employers. A spokesman said there was no need for Andrew Lansley to
:05:49. > :05:59.apologise, because the Health Secretary had simply not been
:05:59. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:07.An 18-month-old girl is still critically ill and her twin brother
:06:07. > :06:10.is said to be in a stable condition after a motorbike hit their
:06:10. > :06:13.pushchair in Sunderland. It happened on City Way next to the
:06:13. > :06:17.Doxford International Business Park yesterday. Their mother was also
:06:17. > :06:22.injured. The little girl remains in intensive care at Newcastle's Royal
:06:22. > :06:29.Victoria Infirmary. The boy is being treated at Sunderland Royal
:06:29. > :06:32.Hospital. A thousand workers at the York-
:06:32. > :06:34.based CPP company are tonight anxiously awaiting the results of a
:06:34. > :06:38.government investigation into their employer. CPP provides credit card
:06:38. > :06:42.insurance. But it's currently under investigation by the Financial
:06:42. > :06:44.Services Authority over mis-selling some of its products. North
:06:44. > :06:49.Yorkshire's MP says the investigation's dragging on and
:06:49. > :06:55.that's threatening jobs. But actually it every one of us has
:06:55. > :07:00.a credit card and lots are worried if it gets lost or stolen. That is
:07:00. > :07:08.what CPP's business is about, helping people who have problems.
:07:08. > :07:11.The problem is, the company itself has problems. Those go back to last
:07:11. > :07:13.year when the Financial Services Authority announced an
:07:13. > :07:19.investigation into the way credit card insurance and identity theft
:07:19. > :07:24.products were sold, looking back to 2005. It says the company will need
:07:24. > :07:28.to look again and decide whether customers will need compensation.
:07:28. > :07:38.But the City MPs says the investigation has drawn on far too
:07:38. > :07:39.
:07:39. > :07:44.long. Its conclusions are not drawn soon, many people could lose the
:07:44. > :07:49.insurance cover paid for. That is why it is important to get the
:07:49. > :07:53.announcement about. There was concern this week when CPP stopped
:07:53. > :07:59.trading shares on the stock market. It is believed compensation could
:07:59. > :08:04.go up to �100 million, believing it could drive a CPP under,
:08:04. > :08:10.threatening jobs. There is a timebomb ticking here and if it
:08:10. > :08:20.cannot be diffused, the outlook is bleak for CPP and equally bleak for
:08:20. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :08:25.Five years after launching direct flights from Newcastle to Dubai,
:08:25. > :08:28.Emirates Airline has announced a major upgrade to the route. The
:08:28. > :08:33.existing Airbus will be replaced by a Boeing 777, meaning an extra
:08:33. > :08:38.2,000 seats a week. So is it a big vote of confidence in the region?
:08:38. > :08:41.Will they fill the seats? And will the move help our chances of
:08:41. > :08:48.opening a direct route to the USA? Damian O'Neil is live at Newcastle
:08:48. > :08:56.Airport now for us. A lot of questions. Can you answer some?
:08:56. > :09:03.Hopefully. I can tell you that the Airbus, which is the one departing,
:09:03. > :09:12.carries 278 passengers, but the number won carries 428, so it is a
:09:12. > :09:19.generally bigger aircraft. -- but the 777. We asked passengers if the
:09:19. > :09:25.plot was it needed increased. expecting something smarter. I
:09:25. > :09:31.thought it would be more upmarket than it was. Any improvement in the
:09:31. > :09:41.service is good for us. announcement is that it will be
:09:41. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:47.increased to a 777. How do you feel about that? Fantastic.
:09:47. > :09:53.So good news for passengers, but what about business? I spoke to
:09:53. > :09:58.Graeme Mason, who said it was great news for the airport and region.
:09:58. > :10:02.increases the chance for businesses to connect a key markets, also
:10:02. > :10:06.opens up huge opportunities for leisure across many parts of the
:10:06. > :10:12.globe. The fact it is bigger with more capacity is a sign of
:10:12. > :10:17.confidence in the airport and region. It highlight the desperate
:10:17. > :10:22.need we have on a transatlantic routes. That is on the agenda and
:10:22. > :10:27.we would say to the government to reduce passenger duty, which is
:10:27. > :10:33.getting in the way. Once the economy recovers, we could have new
:10:33. > :10:40.services to complement the ones to Dubai.
:10:40. > :10:44.Speaking about a transatlantic newt, -- a transatlantic route, we spoke
:10:44. > :10:52.to councillors and one said that this up great could only do some
:10:52. > :10:55.good. Having the larger aeroplane here with the flight to Dubai
:10:55. > :11:00.strengthens the argument on a transatlantic route, showing there
:11:00. > :11:06.is capacity for more business flights and I think this is a great
:11:06. > :11:11.opportunity for the North East economy moving forward.
:11:11. > :11:17.Hopefully this is good news. We will find out in 1st September when
:11:17. > :11:21.the new service begins. Back to the studio.
:11:21. > :11:24.You're watching Look North. Still to come this Thursday evening...
:11:24. > :11:30.Why millions of pounds worth of computer games have been installed
:11:30. > :11:35.in our hospitals. And the weather was mild today.
:11:35. > :11:41.Will it stay that way? I will have a full forecast at the end of
:11:41. > :11:47.tonight's programme. It was the Newcastle icon that
:11:47. > :11:50.became an eyesore. Bolam Coyne, a housing block in the shadow of the
:11:50. > :11:54.famous Byker Wall. It was designed by world-renowned architect Ralph
:11:54. > :11:59.Erskine back in 1970. But 10 years ago, it had become a derelict shell,
:11:59. > :12:02.unloved and abandoned. Now it is providing family homes again and
:12:02. > :12:08.being hailed as the blueprint for the future of affordable housing on
:12:08. > :12:12.Tyneside. When Ralph Erskine unveiled the
:12:12. > :12:19.Byker estate, it seemed like the dawning of a brave new world. And
:12:19. > :12:24.Bolam Coyne was among its jewels. Modern, clean and a far cry from
:12:24. > :12:27.the Byker backstreets it was designed to replace. But in just
:12:27. > :12:34.over 30 years, this is what the dream had become. An empty,
:12:34. > :12:39.dilapidated shell. It fell into disuse, was boarded up. Local
:12:39. > :12:43.people felt the simplest and best that most economic solution was
:12:43. > :12:47.demolition. The reason it survived was that it was awarded Grade Two
:12:47. > :12:50.listed status by English Heritage. Newcastle City Council wasn't
:12:50. > :12:55.allowed to bid for part of a �40 million government pot for
:12:55. > :13:01.renovation. But a partnership led by Your Homes Newcastle, with
:13:01. > :13:03.active involvement of tenants, was. Today, the chairman of English
:13:03. > :13:10.Heritage, Baroness Andrews, officially re-opened the �2 million
:13:10. > :13:14.redevelopment, which 15 families now call home. It has all the space
:13:14. > :13:20.we need. We have caught your area space for the children, you can let
:13:20. > :13:24.them loose to play. You know that the children will go outside. The
:13:24. > :13:29.rent is affordable. And while the tenants plan creches and barbecues,
:13:29. > :13:36.the scheme is being hailed as a blueprint for the future. If you go
:13:36. > :13:42.back to 2000, there were about 2000 empty council homes. There are less
:13:42. > :13:46.than 200 today. We have about 9,000 people on our waiting lists at one
:13:46. > :13:53.solution is to bring back empty properties in two years and this is
:13:53. > :14:01.an ideal example of achieving that. -- bring properties back to being
:14:01. > :14:08.used. We want the right choice at the right rent for the right people.
:14:08. > :14:11.I hope my mother was watching that. She was from that region.
:14:11. > :14:15.Millions of pounds of new equipment is being installed in hospitals and
:14:15. > :14:18.hospices across the country. It is said to be scientifically proven to
:14:18. > :14:22.help young people cope with the pain and stress of their treatment.
:14:22. > :14:27.The latest have been brought in in Newcastle. And the secret of this
:14:27. > :14:30.medical breakthrough? Computer games.
:14:30. > :14:35.They're the sort of games, we're always being told, that are turning
:14:35. > :14:38.our kids into couch potatoes. Yet here's what must be the king of
:14:38. > :14:43.computer consoles being rolled out at the Great North Children's
:14:43. > :14:46.Hospital. And the young patients, like 12-year-old Brad from
:14:46. > :14:53.Hartlepool, who has spent 10 weeks in hospital, thinks it's much more
:14:53. > :14:59.fun than other computer games. is good. This one, you have to
:14:59. > :15:04.challenge your parents are family. It brings your family and friends
:15:04. > :15:10.close the. And you can watch films as well. What's more, this �3,000
:15:10. > :15:16.Fun Centre is actually helping the children's treatment. It is
:15:16. > :15:21.fantastic therapy. It is good to talk and make friends, especially
:15:21. > :15:26.in this environment, being in here a long time, isolated, so it is
:15:26. > :15:30.good to be together and have fun. There are 17 of these units at the
:15:30. > :15:36.RVI alone. And more than 180 across our region. It is costing more than
:15:36. > :15:40.half a million pounds. But not to the NHS. It has been specially
:15:40. > :15:44.designed and paid for by a charity set up to grant once in a lifetime
:15:44. > :15:48.wishes to seriously or terminally ill children. It is a great ice-
:15:48. > :15:53.breaker, particularly coming into hospital. It must be frightening,
:15:53. > :15:59.so to be able to sit down and play with something and ask someone over
:15:59. > :16:06.you do not know, who is perhaps looking unwell and not so happy, it
:16:06. > :16:09.is a great way to start the day. Apart from the Wii, the Fun Centre
:16:09. > :16:14.contains four hand-held computer consoles and plays DVDs. Mums and
:16:14. > :16:22.dads like it too. When she has chemotherapy, there is nothing we
:16:22. > :16:26.can do, so it can keep us occupied and awake. If the children are
:16:26. > :16:33.relaxed, the children can accept treatment better. That increases
:16:33. > :16:41.the medical side as well, keeping everyone at ease, so yes. So there
:16:41. > :16:45.seems to just one downside. When the kids get better and go home,
:16:45. > :16:53.how many of them are putting one of these on their Christmas list?
:16:53. > :16:55.Santa Claus will need a big sack, will he?
:16:55. > :16:59.They've all served for their country and all have lost their
:16:59. > :17:03.sight. Everyone of one of them has been helped by a charity that was,
:17:03. > :17:06.until now, called St Dunstan's. It is now being renamed to make it
:17:06. > :17:09.easier to reach other ex-service people who might need its support.
:17:09. > :17:12.Hannah Bayman reports from Blind Veterans UK.
:17:12. > :17:16.All former members of the armed forces. And all have battled not
:17:16. > :17:19.only through warzones, but also against blindness. They are here to
:17:19. > :17:22.celebrate a new name for the charity which has helped them, like
:17:22. > :17:27.25-year-old Darren Blanks from Egremont. I have been given the
:17:27. > :17:33.confidence to get from one place to another by myself, showed me how to
:17:33. > :17:37.use the cooker. I have learned to use a computer again, learned to
:17:37. > :17:41.read one of a scanner. The equipment helps, but talking to
:17:41. > :17:44.other members is the best thing. Knowing there is someone on the
:17:44. > :17:49.phone at all times. 90-year-old Dunkirk veteran, Pamela Woodford
:17:49. > :17:55.MBE, is one of the oldest here. have been on holiday with them down
:17:56. > :18:02.to break they and I was collected and taken down and I had a
:18:02. > :18:06.wonderful time. A lot of help indeed. I have had four holidays
:18:06. > :18:11.and five weeks' trading doing different things about the house,
:18:11. > :18:18.how to manage about the highs and in the kitchen. Just taking care of
:18:18. > :18:21.yourself. If you have a relative who has suffered loss of sight and
:18:21. > :18:27.served in the armed forces, encourage them to get in touch,
:18:27. > :18:32.because we know we can help and make a difference. The charity is
:18:32. > :18:41.also keen to help those who have done National Service or surfed in
:18:41. > :18:44.the Territorial Army. -- served. Pupils from a school in County
:18:44. > :18:47.Durham have been taking a break from the classroom to help plant
:18:47. > :18:52.trees around a former mining site near Chester-le-Street. The Lumley
:18:52. > :18:55.Park Burn has been abandoned for the last 40 years. The children
:18:55. > :18:58.from Woodland Primary School were helping the Wear Rivers Trust to
:18:58. > :19:00.restore its natural habitat, so the community can enjoy it again once
:19:01. > :19:03.the trees have matured. Community is -- a community involvement is
:19:03. > :19:09.paramount, because we need the community to look after this once
:19:09. > :19:15.we have done the work. To have the children having pride in the area
:19:15. > :19:20.is good, and they will learn about wildlife.
:19:20. > :19:24.Now for the sport. We'll start with some good news for
:19:24. > :19:27.Sunderland striker Frazier Campbell. Out of action for 17 months through
:19:27. > :19:30.injury, he's only started three first-team games since his comeback
:19:30. > :19:34.last month. But he's done enough to be called into the full England
:19:34. > :19:36.squad for the first time. Caretaker boss, Stuart Pearce, has put the 24
:19:36. > :19:39.year-old in the reckoning for the friendly international with Holland
:19:39. > :19:43.at Wembley next Wednesday. He has come back into the Sunderland side,
:19:43. > :19:49.given a real lift. I spoke a few days ago and he was spoken highly
:19:49. > :19:54.of. He has worked fantastically well to get back from injury. He is
:19:54. > :19:59.an exciting young talent. I think he will thrive by coming into this
:19:59. > :20:03.environment with us next week. Newcastle manager, Alan Pardew,
:20:03. > :20:06.says he's sure the fans will be right behind the team, when Wolves
:20:06. > :20:10.head north on Saturday to play in a ground that's undergone a bit of a
:20:10. > :20:13.transformation this week. The removal of the St James's Park
:20:13. > :20:16.signs, at what is now officially the Sports Direct Arena, provoked
:20:16. > :20:20.anger among many supporters. It even led to the matter being raised
:20:20. > :20:23.in the House of Commons. But whatever the fans think about the
:20:23. > :20:26.re-naming, and Pardew does have some sympathy, the Magpies' boss
:20:26. > :20:32.thinks it won't deflect from the team's main task. And that is
:20:32. > :20:38.picking themselves up from that 5-0 defeat by Spurs last time out.
:20:38. > :20:44.changed a while back. It is conduct on the pitch that is important.
:20:44. > :20:49.There might be some upset with this line being taken down, which I can
:20:49. > :20:53.understand from fans point of view. But after that, it is the action on
