:00:09. > :00:14.Welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight: Heartbreak for the family

:00:14. > :00:18.who thought they had found their missing daughter after 30 years. A

:00:18. > :00:22.suspended jail sentence for the man who racially abused footballers on

:00:22. > :00:26.Twitter. I am staying put says the

:00:26. > :00:32.campaigner who is staging a sit-in on the wreck of an historic ship.

:00:32. > :00:37.And how London 2012 has hit Cumbria's summer tourist trade.

:00:37. > :00:47.In sport not much to celebrate unless you are a Carlisle fan. The

:00:47. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :00:58.Blues are back in the play-off It is a heartbreaking story with a

:00:58. > :01:02.cruel twist. Katrice Lee was just two years old when she disappeared

:01:02. > :01:07.from a supermarket in Germany 30 years ago. Her family never gave up

:01:07. > :01:12.hope of finding her, so you can imagine how they felt when just two

:01:12. > :01:18.weeks ago a woman came forward claiming to be Katrice. But it

:01:18. > :01:23.turned out to be a false alarm. Katrice disappeared on her second

:01:23. > :01:27.birthday. Her family were in a shop buying things for her party when

:01:27. > :01:32.she vanished. For the last 30 years her father remained convinced she

:01:32. > :01:37.was still alive, then they were contacted by a woman claiming to be

:01:37. > :01:43.Katrice. You get a tingle at the back of your neck. You are hoping,

:01:43. > :01:50.is this it? But you have learnt to control those emotions and you are

:01:50. > :01:55.frightened to let yourself go and believe 100% this is it. That is

:01:55. > :02:00.how you feel. There were a number of similarities and the woman said

:02:00. > :02:04.she never felt right in her own family, but she was not Katrice.

:02:04. > :02:09.The claim comes after the Royal Military Police promised to re-

:02:09. > :02:13.examine the case. Katrice's mother returned to Paderborn in Germany

:02:14. > :02:20.and went to the place where her daughter went missing. Standing

:02:20. > :02:27.there I am back in November 1981 and I have a small child in my arms.

:02:27. > :02:34.That small child is my daughter. I know she will be a grown woman now.

:02:34. > :02:40.But to me and my memory she is still that small two-year-old child.

:02:40. > :02:46.Sorry. The German police had claimed Katrice had left the busy

:02:46. > :02:49.supermarket without being noticed, then walked 250 yards down the road

:02:49. > :02:55.and despite being terrified of water headed for the river and

:02:55. > :03:02.drowned, but nobody was ever found. Our belief is as strong as it was

:03:02. > :03:08.on day one. We have always believed she was taken as a substitute child,

:03:08. > :03:12.somebody took her, stole her, she is now living another life.

:03:12. > :03:17.Computer technology has been used to show how she may look now, but

:03:17. > :03:21.30 years after their daughter's disappearance the family are still

:03:21. > :03:25.fighting the authorities. They have been denied the files from the

:03:25. > :03:30.original investigation because the MoD says it would have a

:03:30. > :03:35.prejudicial effect on any subsequent trial.

:03:35. > :03:39.A Sunderland football fan who racially abused Newcastle United

:03:40. > :03:47.players on Twitter has been given a suspended jail sentence. Peter

:03:47. > :03:52.Copeland, 29, from West Rainton, pleaded guilty to two offences

:03:52. > :03:59.under the Malicious Communications Act. He was ordered to do 150 hours

:03:59. > :04:04.of community service as well. Newcastle United's success this

:04:04. > :04:08.season has sparked rival reek from Sunderland fans, but banter on

:04:08. > :04:12.forums can turn abusive and when Sunderland fan Peter Copeland

:04:12. > :04:17.posted racist comments on the social network Twitter he was

:04:17. > :04:21.reported to the police. He admitted the offences under the

:04:21. > :04:26.Malicious Communications Act. Since then, Newcastle United has

:04:26. > :04:31.commented and said they were appalled by the comments. The

:04:31. > :04:36.magistrate presiding said they were grossly offensive and justified a

:04:36. > :04:42.prison sentence and he sentenced him to four months in prison,

:04:42. > :04:47.suspended for 18 months. This is not an isolated case.

:04:47. > :04:50.Newcastle striker Sammy Ameobi has been subjected to racist tweets and

:04:50. > :04:56.Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell has also been racially abused on

:04:56. > :05:06.Twitter. Meanwhile, I Newcastle student is back in court on April

:05:06. > :05:10.

:05:11. > :05:16.charged with racist comments directed at Stan Collymore.

:05:16. > :05:19.Some breaking news and Hartlepool's mayor, Stuart Drummond, has sacked

:05:19. > :05:24.six Labour members of his own Cabinet because they did not attend

:05:24. > :05:30.a full council meeting to support the budget proposals. Richard

:05:30. > :05:35.Thomas is in our Teesside newsroom now. What has gone on? This is all

:05:35. > :05:41.about money and what is a difficult time for local authorities. Last

:05:41. > :05:45.Thursday was that time to rubber- stamp the Budget, but these six

:05:45. > :05:50.councillors did not turn up to that meeting. That meant amendments put

:05:50. > :05:56.forward by the Labour Party, which these six party members belong to,

:05:56. > :06:01.they were pushed through instead, and the mayor Stuart Drummond, who

:06:01. > :06:04.is independent, and he was left with a budget he did not want.

:06:04. > :06:09.has been the reaction from the councillors who have been sacked?

:06:09. > :06:13.They are entitled to an opinion. course and that is why they are

:06:13. > :06:16.elected to the council, but they are members of the Cabinet as well

:06:17. > :06:22.and are bound by collective responsibility to act on important

:06:22. > :06:25.decisions. Stewart Drummond said he did what he did with a heavy heart

:06:25. > :06:31.and he was disappointed. He said all the Cabinet members were

:06:31. > :06:34.extremely good at their jobs, but when they join the Cabinet he asks

:06:34. > :06:39.for loyalty and to put party politics at arm's length and he

:06:39. > :06:44.said he had no choice. We have spoken to one of the six

:06:44. > :06:51.councillors, Chris Simmons, and he says he is sad at what happened.

:06:51. > :06:56.What happens to those six vacant positions now? Some things do not

:06:56. > :07:01.move very fast and it will be a few months before anything is decided.

:07:01. > :07:06.There are local elections in May and none of these positions will be

:07:06. > :07:10.filled until after these elections and the slack has been left and it

:07:10. > :07:15.will be filled by the existing Cabinet members and the mayor

:07:15. > :07:21.himself. A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman's

:07:21. > :07:25.body was found in Brough in Cumbria this morning. Police were called to

:07:25. > :07:29.Black Bull Lane just before 8 o'clock. Police are questioning a

:07:29. > :07:34.local man on suspicion of murder. We are trying to establish the

:07:34. > :07:38.movements of this lady and this gentleman was taken into custody

:07:38. > :07:42.last night and this morning we are trying to piece together the

:07:42. > :07:45.movements of the individuals and to sort them. The Independent Police

:07:45. > :07:50.Complaints Commission is investigating after a woman was

:07:50. > :07:57.stabbed to death in Newcastle. Sarah Gosling, 41, was found

:07:57. > :08:01.stabbed to death inside the house in Tewkesbury Road on Saturday. Ian

:08:01. > :08:05.Hope, 52, has been charged with her murder.

:08:05. > :08:09.At campaigner from Sunderland has once again occupied the wreck of an

:08:09. > :08:14.historic ship and this time Peter Maddison says he is prepared for a

:08:14. > :08:19.lengthy sit-in to stop HMAS Adelaide being transported to

:08:19. > :08:23.Australia. He has spent years fighting to have the world's oldest

:08:23. > :08:28.surviving clipper returned to Sunderland.

:08:28. > :08:33.At first glance it is hard to see why this is worth fighting for.

:08:34. > :08:39.HMAS Adelaide may have been rotting in a Scottish yard for 20 years,

:08:39. > :08:45.but now she is the centre for a tug of war. Sport by the Australians,

:08:45. > :08:49.she is due to be transported, but last night Sunderland campaigner

:08:49. > :08:53.Peter manners and staged a last ditch bid to have her returned to

:08:53. > :08:58.the Weir instead. He has occupied the ship and says he will stay

:08:58. > :09:02.there. Peter Maddison has been fighting for 20 years to have HMAS

:09:02. > :09:09.Adelaide brought back to Sunderland and there are good reasons to do so.

:09:09. > :09:13.It was built here in 1864, it is older than the Cutty Sark and there

:09:13. > :09:17.could be tourism potential from having the ship back on the Weir.

:09:17. > :09:23.am sorry to say I think what he has done is too little and too late,

:09:23. > :09:28.but I have sympathy for him. Money will count, the Australians have

:09:28. > :09:35.got the money to take this and I can understand why they want it.

:09:35. > :09:41.Perhaps it is a sad reflection on what will be seen as a lack of

:09:41. > :09:45.vision on the part of Wearside. Peter Maddison has staged a sit-in

:09:45. > :09:54.on the ship before. She is due to leave port Australia in around one

:09:54. > :09:59.month. He says he will stay put to make sure that never happens.

:09:59. > :10:04.More on that tomorrow. It was always hoped the Olympic Games

:10:04. > :10:09.would be a welcome boost for every part of the UK, not just London.

:10:09. > :10:12.But that one not be the case for parts of Cumbria. Businesses in the

:10:12. > :10:16.Lake District have said tens of thousands of pounds of bookings

:10:16. > :10:20.have already been lost because of the Games this summer is because

:10:20. > :10:26.some of its biggest fans are staying away.

:10:26. > :10:30.Hill Top Farm near Hawkshead, the home of Beatrix Potter. It is a

:10:30. > :10:34.must-see destination for some of the 15,000 Japanese tourists who

:10:34. > :10:40.come to the Lakes to see Peter Rabbit and Friends. But this year

:10:40. > :10:46.it could be different. It is an unintended consequence of the

:10:46. > :10:51.Olympics. It has direct impact on other parts of the country.

:10:51. > :10:55.Japanese tourists come on organised tours of the UK, ending their trip

:10:55. > :11:00.in London, but hotel prices there this summer are six times the

:11:00. > :11:08.normal price, so it tour operators are cancelling and that means a

:11:08. > :11:14.knock-on for the Lakes. So since the start of 2012, I would say it

:11:14. > :11:18.is in excess of �10,000. We can always fill the weekends with

:11:18. > :11:23.weddings, but when you start getting cancellations in the week,

:11:23. > :11:27.it is more difficult to fill the empty rooms. On the lake it is the

:11:27. > :11:32.same story. The slots that clash with the Olympics have been

:11:32. > :11:38.cancelled. At the moment it is in the small number of thousands of

:11:38. > :11:42.bookings, but it is a bit difficult to quantify. It is OK to measure

:11:42. > :11:47.the bookings that have been cancelled, but it is harder to

:11:47. > :11:51.estimate the bookings that never materialised. One operator who

:11:51. > :11:56.normally brings 5000 Japanese to the Lakes told me they have no

:11:56. > :12:01.tours planned during the Games. Next month a �4 million TV

:12:01. > :12:04.advertising campaign begins to fill some of the gaps left by the

:12:04. > :12:08.Japanese and the Government believes that the exposure of the

:12:08. > :12:11.Olympics will have positive benefits everywhere. The kinds of

:12:11. > :12:17.people coming here will be different and the reasons they are

:12:17. > :12:21.coming here will be different, but that has huge opportunity in it, as

:12:21. > :12:26.well as some risks. Nobody should be thinking they have got to take a

:12:26. > :12:31.hit. There are big opportunities out there. It will be a nervous few

:12:31. > :12:35.months as the clock ticks down to the opening ceremony. It will be

:12:35. > :12:42.after the Games are over that we will truly know whether there will

:12:42. > :12:52.be celebrations or commiserations in the Lakes. You can see more on

:12:52. > :12:52.

:12:53. > :12:56.that tonight at 7:30pm. Still to come: Dornock joins me for

:12:56. > :13:06.a team talk and temperatures in the teens. We have another mild week

:13:06. > :13:18.

:13:18. > :13:27.Why it there are high hopes for Catterick Garrison.

:13:27. > :13:33.There is something satisfying about making bread. Foreign next

:13:33. > :13:43.infantryman, it represents a significant career change. It is

:13:43. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:55.different to what I am used to. I enjoy cooking and Peking. I want to

:13:55. > :13:56.

:13:56. > :14:03.do a professional cookery course. This has been set up in Catterick

:14:03. > :14:09.to give veterans vocational training for a catering career.

:14:09. > :14:19.addition to the vocational training, we give them accredited training.

:14:19. > :14:21.

:14:21. > :14:26.They get customer service training. The professionals have a long

:14:26. > :14:36.bakery tradition, producing law this and the most demanding

:14:36. > :14:46.conditions. It is a challenging environment. It is hot and not very

:14:46. > :14:54.

:14:54. > :15:04.nice to work in. Artisan baking, that is posh bread to me and you.

:15:04. > :15:09.

:15:09. > :15:18.Selling these and an army camp? He looked delicious, but not being of

:15:18. > :15:23.sufficient rank, that is all I can tell you.

:15:23. > :15:30.Paddington Bear has long been a fan but his passion for marmalade is

:15:30. > :15:40.spreading. 1,700 preserve makers made the annual marmalade

:15:40. > :15:52.

:15:52. > :15:59.competition this weekend. Marmalade, as far as I can see.

:15:59. > :16:09.They were sent for the annual celebration and contest. In seven

:16:09. > :16:09.

:16:09. > :16:17.years, their entries have grown from 60 to almost 2000.

:16:17. > :16:24.festival started a renaissance. I do not think people concentrate on

:16:24. > :16:29.it. It used to be a spread but now it it is a key thing in breakfast.

:16:29. > :16:32.The self-sufficiency is a good thing. This is a celebration of

:16:32. > :16:38.self-sufficiency. To take a basic ingredient and turn them into

:16:38. > :16:48.something extraordinary makes you feel in control of life. Entry fees

:16:48. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:57.from every category -- category quarter charity. The winner came

:16:57. > :17:04.from across the region and even as far as Singapore. These are

:17:04. > :17:11.national preserve judges and have spent four days judging the entries.

:17:11. > :17:21.I will see what they make of mind. It has not got a label on. It is

:17:21. > :17:23.

:17:23. > :17:28.not too bad. The jar should be filled to the top. Congratulations.

:17:28. > :17:38.Who's to say whether the unsung heroines of the festival were just

:17:38. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:54.being nice? It was one of those weekends. We

:17:54. > :17:57.found a silver lining at Brunton Park.

:17:57. > :18:05.We nearly did not have a single winner.

:18:06. > :18:10.The Blues came to the rescue. It is 366 miles from your bill to

:18:10. > :18:20.Carlisle. They were a goal down just past the

:18:20. > :18:32.

:18:32. > :18:42.that one. Top marks to Paddy Madden.

:18:42. > :19:02.

:19:02. > :19:12.Back came the Oval. This was true- There was a reality check for

:19:12. > :19:14.

:19:14. > :19:23.Newcastle fans. The reality is that the Magpies' home ground will be

:19:23. > :19:33.changed to another name. A coffin was carried to the game.

:19:33. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:53.When they kicked off, it look like out.

:19:53. > :20:03.This was Wolves' first came under the caretaker manager. It was spot-

:20:03. > :20:18.

:20:18. > :20:27.on. The Magpies still have Europe The most important period is now.

:20:27. > :20:37.We let it slip in the second half. The point could be very important

:20:37. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:50.this season. We might get lucky. Elsewhere, possibly dreaming of the

:20:50. > :21:12.

:21:12. > :21:22.not lost a game all season. They were pulverised.

:21:22. > :21:25.

:21:25. > :21:32.This one finished it off. Not the best preparation for Sunday's Derby.

:21:32. > :21:42.Darren Bent and Wayne Rainey and Frazier Campbell could make his

:21:42. > :21:47.

:21:47. > :21:51.international debut. It was nothing really. I changed direction. I

:21:51. > :22:01.remember trying to walk and my knee was going backwards. I thought,

:22:01. > :22:17.

:22:17. > :22:27.Part three, a reality check. Middlesbrough up were beaten up

:22:27. > :22:40.

:22:40. > :22:50.We are just outside the play-offs in goal difference.

:22:50. > :22:51.

:22:51. > :23:01.Some good news for Boro, the Mr Nicky Bailey.

:23:01. > :23:01.

:23:02. > :23:11.Hartlepool were hammered 5 - 0. Manager Neale Cooper called it

:23:12. > :23:12.

:23:12. > :23:17.embarrassing. He said every goal was a gift.

:23:17. > :23:27.What about this one? You are the referee, should this

:23:27. > :23:34.

:23:34. > :23:44.has did? -- look at this. Anthony Sweeny top-scored with five

:23:44. > :23:56.

:23:56. > :24:06.Yorke made it to the semis. They will now meet Luton. In rugby

:24:06. > :24:09.

:24:09. > :24:15.union, congratulations to Katy McLean.

:24:15. > :24:25.Not too surprising, really. The Balkans were completely outplayed

:24:25. > :24:45.

:24:45. > :24:55.by the Tigers. The Balkans lost two players.

:24:55. > :24:56.

:24:56. > :25:06.In Rugby League, there were two derbies yesterday.

:25:06. > :25:28.

:25:28. > :25:38.There will be some bright spells. If you're in the West, you will

:25:38. > :25:44.

:25:45. > :25:54.have to rely on the spring flowers for brightness. We have some idea

:25:55. > :25:57.

:25:57. > :26:07.which is mild coming up from the West. Not much rain getting through

:26:07. > :26:10.

:26:10. > :26:20.this sky. It will be the weekend before this rain makes its way on

:26:20. > :26:40.

:26:40. > :26:50.Saturday. It will be mild night tonight. Tomorrow will be a dry day.

:26:50. > :27:07.

:27:07. > :27:11.The clouds thickening up in the West. Those temperatures will rise
