:00:02. > :00:07.Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. Tonight.

:00:07. > :00:15.The world's first pill for multiple sclerosis. Patients say it has

:00:15. > :00:20.transformed their lives. I have never looked back. I am monitored

:00:20. > :00:22.regularly by the hospital and I have not had the slightest concern.

:00:22. > :00:25.Why traders around Newcastle United's Stadium fear the Olympic

:00:25. > :00:28.Games could cost them dear. Three years on from the

:00:28. > :00:32.disappearance of Claudia Lawrence, her father says it has been torture.

:00:32. > :00:36.Will a rise in the cost of flying hold back economic recovery here in

:00:36. > :00:41.the North? And, her boots are made for walking,

:00:41. > :00:44.the full length of Hadrian's Wall at the age of 95!

:00:44. > :00:47.In sport, it will be no walkover for Sunderland in their FA Cup

:00:47. > :00:51.quarter-final against Everton. Fortunately, Martin O'Neill does

:00:51. > :01:01.not believe in bogey grounds. And we meet the tennis mad family

:01:01. > :01:11.

:01:11. > :01:13.who have all got their sights set It is the world's first pill to

:01:14. > :01:16.treat people with multiple sclerosis and it was partly

:01:16. > :01:19.developed here in the north. The pill, Fingolimod, has already been

:01:20. > :01:22.used by 30,000 people around the world. It has shown it can reduce

:01:22. > :01:25.relapses in MS patients. Doctors from the Royal Victoria Infirmary

:01:25. > :01:28.in Newcastle were involved in its development. And now the pill has

:01:28. > :01:31.been given the green light by NICE, the National Institute for Health

:01:31. > :01:41.and Clinical excellence. Stephanie Lloyd has been to meet one woman

:01:41. > :01:44.

:01:44. > :01:48.whose life has been transformed by Eileen Wilson was diagnosed with

:01:48. > :01:52.multiple sclerosis 20 years ago when a sudden attack left her

:01:52. > :01:58.temporarily paralysed and unable to see. For the past five to six years

:01:58. > :02:02.she has been involved in trials taking the drug Fingolimod. Every

:02:02. > :02:07.day it is then world's first pill to treat MS. I have never looked

:02:07. > :02:11.back. I am monitored regularly by the hospital and I have not had the

:02:12. > :02:19.slightest concern whatsoever since I have been on the drug. It is easy

:02:19. > :02:23.to take, it is just one pill every day. I am terrified of needles and

:02:23. > :02:27.the alternative would be to take itself injecting needles and I

:02:27. > :02:34.could not face doing that. The alternative when this came along, I

:02:34. > :02:37.just jumped at with both hands and said I wanted to try it out.

:02:37. > :02:43.affects around 100,000 people in the UK with most diagnosed between

:02:43. > :02:46.the ages of 20 and 40. Women are twice as likely to develop the

:02:47. > :02:52.condition as men. Studies have shown the drug can reduce the tax

:02:52. > :02:57.by more than 50 %. This is a major progress for us in multiple

:02:57. > :03:02.sclerosis. If you go back 10 or 15 years, we had no treatments are

:03:02. > :03:06.tall. For the last decade, we have had their peers but they have had

:03:06. > :03:11.to be given by injection. To have a tablet that you can take once a day

:03:11. > :03:14.is a big move forward. The new pill offers hope for thousands like

:03:14. > :03:17.Eileen with the debilitating condition. But it is not for

:03:17. > :03:22.everyone. It is only for those patients who have started on

:03:22. > :03:27.injectable therapy but have not had a good response. I am thrilled it

:03:27. > :03:31.will be available for other people. It is a horrible disease and a lot

:03:31. > :03:35.of people have it that she would never know have it. It is not

:03:35. > :03:43.something that you publicise. It will do so much good to so many

:03:43. > :03:48.people. It is important to stress that

:03:48. > :03:53.sadly this drug does not treat all forms of multiple sclerosis. It is

:03:53. > :03:56.not a drug for everyone with his condition. Ms affects people

:03:56. > :04:01.differently and symptoms might include problems with a balance,

:04:01. > :04:07.vision, dizziness, stiffness. This new pill is only for people with

:04:07. > :04:09.the most common type of MS. This is called a relapse in a multiple

:04:09. > :04:15.sclerosis and it means that symptoms can appear and then fade

:04:15. > :04:20.away. Patients describe this sort of condition as living on a knife-

:04:20. > :04:23.edge. This new drug will be offered to patients who are already

:04:23. > :04:28.receiving therapy is by injection and you're not doing very well. It

:04:28. > :04:33.is not a drug for patients with a progressive disease or fixed

:04:33. > :04:36.disability. Worldwide the drug is having a very good success. It is

:04:36. > :04:42.proving to be an effective treatment and allowing people like

:04:42. > :04:44.Eileen, who we saw in the report, to lead a good and fulfilling life.

:04:45. > :04:47.Traders in Newcastle have expressed fears about the effect the Olympic

:04:47. > :04:49.Games will have on their livelihoods. The city council's

:04:49. > :04:52.planning to close roads around the Newcastle United stadium where

:04:52. > :04:55.Olympic football matches will be held this summer. Some firms say it

:04:55. > :04:58.will cost them money, but the council says the road closures of

:04:58. > :05:08.vital on safety grounds. Damien O'Neill is outside stadium for us

:05:08. > :05:18.

:05:18. > :05:24.Hello. St James' Park is hosting nine games between 26th July of

:05:24. > :05:27.fourth August and there will be road closures as a result. The

:05:27. > :05:33.closures are going to affect a number of businesses which operate

:05:33. > :05:37.around the corner. They include retailers, florists, there is a

:05:37. > :05:42.dentist. They have all said that they welcome the Olympics, but they

:05:42. > :05:49.do fear about the impact this might have on their income. We will end

:05:49. > :05:53.up losing business because the customers will come in to park

:05:53. > :05:57.their cars and then going to Newcastle to do their shopping.

:05:57. > :06:02.will make things difficult for the drivers, too. It really is going to

:06:02. > :06:06.cause a lot of trouble. Perhaps more than we initially appreciated.

:06:06. > :06:10.We welcome the Olympics to the area, but we are concerned because it

:06:10. > :06:15.will affect patients getting in and getting a part and keeping

:06:15. > :06:18.appointment times. It is fantastic and good for the area. I'm glad we

:06:18. > :06:24.are getting something up here. But that shutting everything down will

:06:24. > :06:27.be hard on the businesses who are already struggling. We have spoken

:06:27. > :06:30.to Newcastle council and they acknowledge that there will be some

:06:30. > :06:37.disruption to businesses, but they make the point that the Olympic

:06:37. > :06:41.Games are not what they call and a regular fixture. They say they will

:06:41. > :06:44.do everything they can to keep the disruption to a minimum. We have

:06:44. > :06:47.been directed by the Olympic Security Executive to ensure that

:06:47. > :06:52.the games are safe and that people who visit the city have a great

:06:52. > :07:00.experience. There will be some inconvenience and some roads will

:07:00. > :07:03.be close its -- closed. The City will make every opportunity in

:07:03. > :07:07.order for businesses and residents to access their properties without

:07:07. > :07:11.inconvenience. Did this mean people going to the Games will need be in

:07:11. > :07:16.their seats three hours before kick-off? It just me is that the

:07:16. > :07:23.area around the games will be secured. But they will have to beat

:07:23. > :07:27.here early because there will be searches outside the stadium.

:07:27. > :07:30.really big event coming to the city later this year. What we do not

:07:30. > :07:40.know yet is who will actually be playing here. We should have those

:07:40. > :07:43.

:07:43. > :07:45."Every day I think, where it is she? What is she doing? It is

:07:45. > :07:48.torture." The words of Peter Lawrence, speaking about his

:07:48. > :07:51.daughter, Claudia, who disappeared three years ago this weekend. The

:07:51. > :07:54.University of York chef was last seen in March 2009. But detectives

:07:54. > :08:00.claim that they are just a small step away from working out what

:08:00. > :08:02.happened to her. Claudia Lawrence's disappearance

:08:02. > :08:05.prompted one of the biggest investigations North Yorkshire

:08:05. > :08:10.police have ever conducted. The University of York chef was

:08:10. > :08:15.reported missing in 2009 when she did not turn up for work. The

:08:15. > :08:18.police now believe she was murdered. Her father described the last three

:08:18. > :08:27.years as "sheer torture", but he says he clings on to the hope that

:08:27. > :08:34.his beloved daughter is still alive. You keep thinking, where are you?

:08:34. > :08:39.What has happened to you? When there is blue-sky like we had this

:08:39. > :08:42.morning, I wonder if she is able to see it. It is all of that kind of

:08:42. > :08:45.thing. It keeps churning round and round.

:08:45. > :08:47.Last December, detectives said they were investigating a significant

:08:47. > :08:49.new lead after a potentially crucial new witness came forward.

:08:49. > :08:57.Inquiries into that information, North Yorkshire police say, are

:08:57. > :09:06.still continuing. It has changed my life really because it has become

:09:06. > :09:12.the focus of my life. I cannot go a day without thinking about her all

:09:12. > :09:17.looking for her or doing something. I chat to her really. That sounds a

:09:17. > :09:22.bit mad, but I do talk to her. It is a way of keeping in contact even

:09:22. > :09:26.though I am not getting any replies. The police say that they are a

:09:26. > :09:29.small step away from working out what happened to Claudia. But after

:09:29. > :09:39.three years, Peter Lawrence says he does not believe they are any

:09:39. > :09:54.

:09:54. > :09:58.The price of flying is about to rise again. Air passenger duty is

:09:58. > :10:01.going up by eight per cent in April, the third increase in as many years.

:10:01. > :10:04.North-east businesses say the charges now so high it is holding

:10:04. > :10:07.back economic recovery. They want the Chancellor to scrap the rise in

:10:07. > :10:08.next week's budget, and give our airports a tax break. This report

:10:08. > :10:11.from our political editor, Richard Moss.

:10:11. > :10:14.Passengers at Newcastle airport already pay a significant chunk of

:10:14. > :10:17.tax for flying, but from next month they will pay even more. The

:10:17. > :10:22.increase in duty will see the cost of each economy flight to Europe

:10:22. > :10:24.rise by �1 to �12. The tax on a trip to the US will rise by �5 to

:10:24. > :10:28.�65 per passenger. While travellers to Australia will see the duty

:10:28. > :10:35.increase by �7 to �92 per person. Businesses are worried by the rise,

:10:35. > :10:40.though, and say the tax is holding back for north-east economy. It is

:10:40. > :10:44.ridiculous. The tax makes up most of the cost. I suppose that

:10:44. > :10:50.everything has to be paid for at the end of the day, but we all want

:10:50. > :10:55.cheaper flights. Businesses are worried by the rise, though, and

:10:55. > :10:58.say that the tax is holding back the North East economy.

:10:58. > :11:02.greatest concern is the burden that it places on airlines who could

:11:02. > :11:05.come into the North East. They may put their flies in to other

:11:05. > :11:10.locations rather than coming here and that will put our

:11:10. > :11:15.competitiveness at serious risk in the future. The tax has raised

:11:15. > :11:19.almost �3 billion a year. Newcastle Airport things it has a solution.

:11:19. > :11:24.The tax could be raised at the busiest, most congested airports,

:11:24. > :11:28.the London airports, and reduced at the regional airports. That would

:11:28. > :11:32.stimulate growth and help to get new routes in. It would really be a

:11:32. > :11:37.boost to the regional economy. Others believe a cut in the tax

:11:37. > :11:40.would be short-sighted. It is a carbon tax and it is there to

:11:40. > :11:45.discourage what is in fact a very high carbon emitting form of

:11:45. > :11:50.transport. Although the medicine of a carbon tax is painful, the

:11:50. > :11:56.illness of climate change will do far more damage to our national and

:11:56. > :11:59.global economies. No doubt the Chancellor will be working on his

:12:00. > :12:09.budget this weekend. For the moment, it seemed that their taxes are

:12:10. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:15.really heading up. And Richard has more on that story and the rest of

:12:15. > :12:23.the week's political news on Sunday Politics this weekend at 12 noon

:12:23. > :12:26.here on BBC 1. You are watching it Look North.

:12:26. > :12:28.Soldiers, who lost six of their comrades in Afghanistan last week,

:12:28. > :12:31.marched through Warminster this morning. Hundreds of people pay

:12:31. > :12:33.their respects to the troops from the third Battalion, the Yorkshire

:12:33. > :12:35.Regiment. Five soldiers from the regiment were killed when a

:12:35. > :12:38.roadside bomb destroyed their armoured vehicle. A sixth, Sergeant

:12:38. > :12:41.Nigel Coupe, was from the First Battalion, the Duke of Lancaster's

:12:41. > :12:43.Regiment. He was based at Catterick garrison in North Yorkshire, where

:12:43. > :12:46.many soldiers are trained before going to Afghanistan. Nicola Rees

:12:46. > :12:56.has been to Catterick to meet some of the young soldiers currently

:12:56. > :12:58.

:12:58. > :13:01.undergoing their training. This is the first taste for new recruits of

:13:01. > :13:07.life in the military. These recruits are just five weeks into

:13:07. > :13:11.their training. Some of them behind be are its Jenga 17 years old.

:13:11. > :13:16.Depending on the quality of their performance today, they could be

:13:17. > :13:21.presented by their regimental berets. Receiving their berets is a

:13:21. > :13:28.significant rite of passage. It is also the start of a tough journey

:13:28. > :13:34.into the army. It is good fun. is a completely different life. It

:13:34. > :13:39.is better. We know each other inside out. Many of these young men

:13:39. > :13:44.will go on to join the Yorkshire regiments. Some are like Nathan

:13:44. > :13:50.Berg are heading towards the battalion who lost five soldiers in

:13:50. > :13:54.Afghanistan last week. It is quite a shock. By the end of the training

:13:55. > :14:01.I will be ready to get out there. I am scared, but I have signed up for

:14:01. > :14:05.this job. Stuff like that happens. Nathan Patterson were also joined

:14:05. > :14:11.that Regiment. He, too, is also coming to terms with the reality of

:14:11. > :14:16.the life in an army. It was a shock. We did not expect it to have been

:14:16. > :14:20.that many people who passed away. It does make you more focused. I

:14:20. > :14:27.think people will be still scared of going and what their family

:14:27. > :14:33.thinks. If I go, I go. We do not know to what extent the lads have

:14:33. > :14:38.watched the news in the past. We have not had any of the guys coming

:14:38. > :14:42.in and saying that since the tragedy happened they want to leave.

:14:42. > :14:46.They are not yet soldiers, but already they are learning to cope

:14:46. > :14:49.with death. They will finish their basic training in a matter of

:14:49. > :14:57.months and then they will join their battalions. Some could be

:14:57. > :15:00.fighting in Afghanistan in less than a year.

:15:00. > :15:04.If you are complaining about your aches and pains take a look at this

:15:04. > :15:07.young lady. She is 95 years old and she is the

:15:07. > :15:11.oldest person to attempt to walk the full length of Hadrian's Wall,

:15:11. > :15:14.or 84 miles of it. Doris Hancock, a retired teacher from Cumbria, set

:15:14. > :15:18.off from Wallsend today. She is planning to take it slowly, just

:15:18. > :15:21.five miles a day, on and off, for the next six months. And it is all

:15:21. > :15:28.to raise money for charity. Julie Smith watched her begin her long

:15:28. > :15:35.journey. Nobody has been against it atoll. I very much doubted that to

:15:35. > :15:38.begin with. They are enthusiastic. It is day one of an historic

:15:38. > :15:48.journey. 84 Roman miles ahead for 95-year-old Doris. This all began

:15:48. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:53.because she had an eye for a bargain. I found a book about the

:15:53. > :15:58.wall about all of the roots. I was not looking for that, I had gone

:15:58. > :16:04.into see what they had in the sale. When I read it, I thought I could

:16:04. > :16:12.divided up and do it a bit at a time. She said, that she would

:16:12. > :16:18.quite like to do it some time before she was too old. So I said,

:16:18. > :16:25.you do know that it is 85 miles long? And she said yes, that is

:16:25. > :16:29.fine I will do in little bits. it will be five miles a day, two

:16:29. > :16:34.days a month, with family and friends. It could become quite a

:16:35. > :16:44.big thing. He thinks we are mad! Of mad or not it is time to begin

:16:45. > :17:01.

:17:01. > :17:05.walking the walk that will end in That is fantastic!

:17:05. > :17:07.On to the sport, and the FA Cup takes top billing this weekend with

:17:07. > :17:10.Sunderland kicking of their quarter-final at Everton around

:17:10. > :17:13.lunchtime tomorrow. A bit of an early start, but there is a trip to

:17:13. > :17:17.Wembley at stake because, of course, the semi-finals are held there now

:17:17. > :17:21.as well as the final. I still don't think it is a good idea. And it is

:17:21. > :17:31.a big test for the Black Cats, against a side who, over the past

:17:31. > :17:34.

:17:34. > :17:39.few years, have certainly made them Everton have been giving Sunderland

:17:39. > :17:42.the blues for the best part of the last three decades. Just the one

:17:42. > :17:52.away win at Goodison in all that time, 11 Merseyside victories in

:17:52. > :17:52.

:17:52. > :17:56.their last 15 meetings. So, a bogey team? Not according to the boss.

:17:56. > :18:02.For me, personally, I am not a great believer in that kind of

:18:02. > :18:06.thing. Of course, you look at the statistics after the game. We will

:18:06. > :18:12.go and do our best and are best will have to be very strong because

:18:12. > :18:19.Everton are in great form. these things can Burg -- work both

:18:19. > :18:29.ways. You took over around about the same

:18:29. > :18:32.

:18:32. > :18:42.time as Rob sticker in 1973? I did not take over in 1973! You arrived

:18:42. > :18:49.

:18:49. > :18:54.at the club at the same time of Maybe this time it will be

:18:54. > :18:57.Sunderland's turn to give Everton the blues.

:18:57. > :19:00.Another team aiming for Wembley are York City. They take a slender 1-0

:19:00. > :19:04.advantage into the second leg of their FA Trophy semi-final against

:19:04. > :19:08.Luton tomorrow. The Hatters have two men sent off as they slipped to

:19:08. > :19:12.a narrow defeat, including this red card for hand ball. Jamie Reed

:19:13. > :19:15.scored the resulting penalty. If City can avoid defeat, the Minster

:19:15. > :19:19.men will make their third appearance at Wembley in four

:19:19. > :19:21.seasons. Alan Pardew is hoping his side have

:19:21. > :19:25.got their last-minute defeat against Arsenal out of the system

:19:25. > :19:29.by the time they take on Norwich on Sunday. Whatever the result, though,

:19:29. > :19:32.is will be a special day for one of United's longest serving members of

:19:32. > :19:35.staff. Newcastle looked good for a point

:19:35. > :19:38.at the Emirates on Monday night before Vermaelen's goal at the

:19:38. > :19:46.death. The manager is confident the result will not have taken the wind

:19:46. > :19:50.out of their sails as they continue to push for Europe. We have come

:19:50. > :19:55.out of with dignity intact and our confidence intact and we will take

:19:55. > :20:00.that into Norwich. We have a healthy cushion at this stage in

:20:00. > :20:03.the season between us and the teams below. But what we have got to

:20:03. > :20:08.focus on is getting into Europe. We need to win four or five games to

:20:08. > :20:11.do that. That will found a lot if we do not win on Sunday. Victory

:20:11. > :20:15.would be a bonus for Newcastle tea- lady, Kath Cassidy. She has served

:20:15. > :20:18.19 managers in her 40 years at the club, but has never watched a game.

:20:18. > :20:25.That will change on Sunday when someone will serve her tea in the

:20:25. > :20:30.director's box. She will find it strange because it is not really

:20:30. > :20:33.what she is about. She comes in and what she's -- looks after the

:20:33. > :20:42.manager and she tells us a story every week and it is usually funny.
