Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. The shocking truth | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
about liver disease here in the north. Campaigners vowed to fight | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
the so-called Granny Tax. The government insists existing | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
pensioners will not lose out. I am a state pensioner and I have seen | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
real poverty in different parts of the world and it is time we had | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
real perspective. Also tonight: Queue here for work. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
500 new jobs up for grabs in the call centre industry. And, I am a | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
lumberjill and I'm OK. The unsung heroines of World War | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Two look back on their vital work during the conflict. In sport, the | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
unsung hero of Darlington Football Club tells us why he's staying on | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
as manager. And clap hands for the Newcastle | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Eagles - hoping to add the British basketball trophy to their | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
:01:11. | :01:15. | ||
impressive list of honours. Deaths from alcohol-related | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
diseases are up by 25 % according to a new report. The north east is | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
one of the worst affected areas in the country. Now campaigners are | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
accusing the government of failing to tackle the problem. They say | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
that yesterday's budget was an opportunity to control binge | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
drinking by hiking up the price of alcohol or imposing a minimum cost, | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
but that did not happen. Our health reporter Sharon Barbour joins us | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
now from outside Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
We had been here before for the same story - alcohol admissions | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
like this one. The number of liver deaths is up by a quarter. The main | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
cause is alcohol. One in 10 of those deaths in the under 40s. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Staggering and Stan -- sad statistics. Is the government doing | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
enough. The cost of drinking is rising. Because the NHS billions | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
each year. A new report says deaths have increased by a staggering 25 % | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
with alcohol the main cause. The North East is among the worst | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
regions. I have come to a ward for Tait to meet some doctors and | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
nurses to have to cope with the problems. -- Ward 48. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Alcohol has so nearly cost this patient her life. She now has | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
permanent liver damage and only in her thirties. If she keeps drinking | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
she may live only a few years. could have one or two bottles | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
easily. I could have spirits as well as wine. My liver has | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
permanent damage and it will never repay itself. And grant as well is | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
back in hospital. He has been admitted more than 70 times in the | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
last year alone because of alcohol. I was drinking about three litres | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
of vodka and. And perhaps six litres of cider. At my worst, I was | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
sitting outside a shop waiting for it to open to buy another bottle. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Peto think -- people think they will get warnings this -- signals. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
In fact, what happens in the liver is feeling at the time by the time | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
they realised something is wrong. Help to control the but -- the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
problem is are urgently sought. was hoping they would introduce | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
minimum unit price for alcohol in the budget which targets cheap or | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
call which is run by young people and harmful drinkers. The it would | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
have been nice to see something to address the problem. Unlike the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
government to bring in minimum pricing which is the only way to | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
drive down consumption and reduce deaths from alcoholism. -- I would | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
like. As the number of deaths continues to rise, the North | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
:04:40. | :04:46. | ||
continues to pay a high price for drinking too much. Many campaigners | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
are campaigning father a minimum price increase. The government has | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
been working behind the scenes and the minimum price is expected to | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
come out in the government's alcohol strategy which is due out | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
any day soon. Staying with fall-out from the | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Budget - campaigners here in the north of promise to fight plans to | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
cut a freeze tax allowances on the income as have many pensioners. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
George Osborne's plan has already been christened the Granny Tax. But | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
one Northern Conservative MP has defended the move, insisting that | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
no existing pensioners will lose out. Gerry Jackson reports. The | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
newspaper's reaction to a budget normally depends on their political | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
loyalties - not it seems on this issue. At the moment, over-65s can | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
receive �10,500 before paying tax on their income. Quite a bit more | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
than the under 65. From next year, anyone turning 65 will get the | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
standard of allowance of about �9,200. If you are already getting | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
the higher allowance, that will be frozen until the law a figure | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
catches up. It will raise about �3 billion a year. The government says | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
this system will be simple, fair, with less form-filling. Campaigners | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
say it is a stealth tax that will cost some future pensioners over | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
:06:11. | :06:21. | ||
�3,000 a year. And who - �300. of those people have worked since | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
they were 14. They find it very hard to understand why they have to | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
pay tax on their pension and they will have to pay more and more. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
am really disappointed. It would affect the way it I vote in the | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
next election. Government MPs say the criticism is unfair. Their | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
state pension has gone up under this government. The universal | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
benefits remain. They will be better off, there is no tax loss. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
Here at Corbridge in Mr Opperman's constituency, it looks like many | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
would take some convincing. Howdy feel about that headline? It was | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
obvious he was going to do something to pensioners, he has to | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
balance the books but he's robbing the wrong people. Inflation for | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
pensioners is about 13 % per year and this will make it worse. Go it | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
was when since Churchill who introduced age-related tax breaks | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
90 years ago, campaigners say it will be worth the fight to keep | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
them. -- Winston Churchill. Many of us have received windfalls | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
from the banks for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance, or | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
PPI. It is believed thousands more people are still to make a claim. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
So today recruitment began to fill 500 new jobs on Teesside, 72 per | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
cent of which will deal with complaints about PPI. Hundreds of | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
potential staff queued outside Middlesbrough Town Hall to apply. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Richard Thomas reports. They have been queuing since before | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
10:00am. 500 jobs in an area of the north east for 12 people chasing | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
every job. Their different levels of jobs. Our management jobs, | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
supervisory jobs and call centre jobs. The first job as the most | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
important job anybody ever gets. There will be a lot of people here | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
looking for their first job and that will be important. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
The jobs will be based at existing customer service centres operated | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
by Firstsource. One in Stockton and one in Middlesbrough. Both will be | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
expanding. Thousands of people work in call centres in the North East | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
but the 600 jobs are for us but -- particular speciality - they are | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
for payment protection insurance complaint handlers. And people from | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
all ages and backgrounds turned up for a chance of a job. Indeed so | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
many it turned up that by lunchtime the company had to draft in extra | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
staff. There is a lot of call centre work going in the region, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
and if you want to get you fit in the door it is where you have to go. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
It has been quite easy to find different jobs but the job I want, | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
is quite hard to find. He in this climate it is everyone for himself. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Unfortunately. The jobs are initially for 12 | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
months while the PPI payouts continue. After that it is hoped a | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
newly employed staff will find alternative work in the company | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
which employs 30,000 people globally. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
GlaxoSmithKline has confirmed it is investing �20 million in the firm's | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
factory at Barnard Castle in County Durham. The drugs company says the | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
investment will establish a centre of excellence for the production | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
skin creams and ointments. The investment will help secure the | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
:10:04. | :10:05. | ||
future of a factory that employs 1100 people. A police officer and a | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
civilian worker had been found guilty of assault by Keating after | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
these assault on a man to get him to answer questions. -- by beating. | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
They were convicted at Teesside Magistrates Court and will be | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
sentenced in April. An investigation found they used at -- | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
excessive and unreasonable force on a man in custody. The commissioner | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
said it could be argued their actions amounted to a form of | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
torture. Staff at two Cumbrian hospital say | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
they would not recommend them as either places to work or received | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
treatment. The hospitals in Carlisle and Whitehaven have been | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
ranked among the worst in the country in a survey carried out by | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
the Department of Health. The trust which runs them has admitted there | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
are problems but says it is working hard to address them. Mark | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
McAlindon reports. On many counts, this is a damning | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
indictment from staff the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
and the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven. Among the problems they | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
cite are poor support from and communication with management. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Crucially, a large proportion said they would not recommend the North | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust as a place to work or receive | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:27. | ||
treatment. It makes very sad reading. We know that our staff go | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
to work to do the best they can and when these same they would not | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
recommend that the trust as a place to work or a place to receive | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
treatment and are worried they do not have all the resources they | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
need to deliver the care they want to give, it makes sad reading and | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
we want to see that change. In a statement, the trust said it | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
there have been challenges across the NHS, and our trust is | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
undergoing an unsettling acquisition. We also have a very | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
challenging cost improvement programme to follow. The trust is | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
committed to working hard to improve things for staff and | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
patients. We want to encourage staff to get involved - the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
creation of staff focus groups will provide an arena for feedback. | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
But the challenge will be tough. Results show that pressure fell by | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
staff has increased. The percentage of staff satisfied with work and | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
the quality of patient care is down. Staff motivation has also fallen. | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
wee bit like a trust to say this is the information we have an this is | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
how we will work with staff to address these points and do | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
something meaningful, so that staff next year when they do a survey | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
will come back with improvement. It has to be tangible and meaningful. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
The new guide book honouring the veterans of County Durham has just | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
been published. Some of them are more than 400 years old! These are | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
the veteran trees scattered across the county, remnants of ancient | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
woodland or planted and country estates centuries ago. The guide | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
features more than 50 of these natural monuments. Ideal planning | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
:13:10. | :13:16. | ||
for your next country walk. This is an. She in County Durham. It is | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
estimated at 400 years old. -- an oak tree. It is one of the trees in | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
a new guide from Durham Wildlife Trust. Tell me more about this tree. | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
The name comes from the fact that the site was opened -- owned by the | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Bishops of Durham. We do not know when the nicknames started. For as | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
long as the trust have owned the site, it has always been called the | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
bishops Oke. How do you measure in the it age of ancient trees. Most | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
people think you cut it down and measure the Rings, so it is based | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
on the girth of the tree. It is over five metres. So it is probably | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
about 400 years old. Do you tree hard to measure the tree? You can | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
do. When we excepted records for the tree, people could say that our | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
she equalled the three hugs. We lost a lot of her woodland with our | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
industrial heritage so the few we have remaining are exceptionally | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
important and provide a habitat for important species. There used by | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
birds and bats and a number of inverted its species use them as | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
:14:58. | :14:58. | ||
well. Their spread across the whole region. -- they are spread. There | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
is a beautiful whole of ancient sweet chestnuts in Oakland Park. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
They are really old and have lots of rot and are amazing to lookout. | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:21. | ||
You can obtain the guide for a freak. -- three. I have a favourite | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
local tree as well still to come this Thursday | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
evening: Meet the lumberjills - the heroines who helped the war effort | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
look back on their vital work. I'll be back with a full forecast at the | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
end of the rest of the news. It is one of the older cinemas in | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
the country and to celebrate its centenary here the Ritz in Thirsk | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
has come bang up-to-date by joining the digital revolution. Quite a big | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:04. | ||
step for a picture house dating back to the days of silent movies. | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
Peter Lugg was at the matinee. It is fitting perhaps that the main | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
feature this week harks back to the silent movies of the Ritz would | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
have been showing when opened in 1912. It now hoping it -- in now | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
:16:31. | :16:32. | ||
has new digital equipment. We are looking forward to the challenge. | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:43. | ||
In here, in pieces, the old projector. Sad, really. This is her | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
hundredth birthday, in 1912 the cinema was opened. It has been | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
running ever since. We get very good audiences. We have 20,000 | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
people a year come to the cinema so we're very pleased. These are the | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
posh seats minus five pounds a time. Have the cinema now is now run | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
entirely by a staff of volunteers. We have about 70 volunteers to come | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
along and do every sort of job. All our volunteers do everything. That | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
is how we manage to survive. multiplex it is not, it is one | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
feature a week, like it was in the picture houses of old and who would | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
want it any other way? They were known as lumberjills - | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
women who chopped down trees for the war effort. Last autumn the | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Forestry Commission appealed for former lumberjills to come forward | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
to tell their stories. That appeal was a success. Our reporter has | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
been to meet two of these forgotten heroines of World War Two. Cutting | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
wood in the wartime way at Chopwell Woods. | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
With a saw that has not seen service for nearly a half century. | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
We had a practice with this Awe yesterday and it occurs ages to cut | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
down his cheek. -- it took us ages to cut down this victory. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
Doreen Morrison and Ethel Oliver are in their eighties now, but have | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
returned to the woods where they did their bit for the war effort as | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
lumberjills. The on the problem was in the winter when it was really | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
:18:46. | :18:46. | ||
called, my hands and feet were always called. -- cold. | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
The Women's timber Corps was set and 1942, and thousands of young | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
women were sent to the northeast forests to replace the men serving | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
at the front. Although it was back- breaking work, it formed a lifelong | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
friendships. We were bridesmaids for each other. We have been very | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
good set -- friends ever since. It was not all bad. I would not have | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
missed it for anything. And not all the friendships were | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
human. One day there was a little squirrel which jumped out and I | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
caught 10. I kept him for several weeks. He used to hide in my sleeve, | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
inside my court. Ethel and Doreen have come to | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
:19:42. | :19:46. | ||
Kielder Forest to see how much the work of logging has changed. And | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
this is a far cry from how they remember the back-breaking work. | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
Ethel was here in 1942 when she was snowed in. Now it is hoped their | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
memories and stories will be passed on to schoolchildren, to keep the | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
memories of the lumberjills alive. What a difference a year makes. | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
This week, 12 months ago, Darlington were celebrating an FA | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Trophy semi-final win over Gateshead, which booked them a trip | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
to Wembley. They went on to beat Mansfield in the final but it has | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
been downhill ever since, with no sign of them stopping. March 2011, | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Darlington on their way to Wembley. Victory at the National Stadium was, | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
arguably, one of the greatest days in the club's history. Now it must | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
:20:41. | :20:41. | ||
seem like it was all just a dream? Yes, and the trophy left the | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
stadium last week. A lot of people at the club were sad to see it go, | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
but I was not because I think it has jinxed as. Hopefully, now that | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
it has moved out of big club, that will kick has on words. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
They certainly need something. Without a win in their last 12 | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
games, the Quakers are on course for relegation to conference North. | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
That will mean trips to Harrogate Town, Workington and if they stay | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
up, Blyth Spartans. Earlier this week, almost worn out by the | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
struggles on and off the pitch, Craig Liddle offered to stand down | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
for a more experienced coach. Now he's ready to fight to the end. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
times it gets too much but I just thought, perhaps someone could come | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
in and produce a spark, but that is not going to happen so I have given | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
my word that I will stick it out. I will fight if the players and | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
administrators are prepared to do the same for me. | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
A couple of players on the move - Carlisle striker Craig Curran has | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
gone out on loan to Morecambe, and Newcastle's Nile Ranger - who spent | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
some time with Barnsley last year - has been loaned to Sheffield | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Wednesday for the rest of the season. | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
It is not often we talk about fashion in our sports slots, but I | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
am sure you are dying to know what the best-dressed British athlete | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
will be wearing at this year's Olympics. The kit has been designed | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
by Stella McCartney, daughter of the one and only Paul McCartney of | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
course. Among the medal hopefuls on the catwalk, were Middlesbrough at | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
long jumper Chris Tomlinson and Richmond swimmer, Jo Jackson. | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
never expect to go to the Olympics. The hype is amazing. When my son | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
Piquet, it was amazing. It is an honour to be here. -- when we saw | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
the kit. This makes it feel real and it is really exciting that we | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
will be going to the Olympics in a few weeks' time. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Another big sporting event is next year's rugby league World Cup and | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
it has been announced today the planned Pow Beck Valley Stadium in | :22:45. | :22:48. | |

season. A coach being good is not enough, we want to be the best. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
When you're good, that is OK, but for arouse, outstanding is not | :23:59. | :24:07. | |
enough. We have to be better all the time. -- for as. It is a legacy | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
