:00:20. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to Monday's Look North. Tonight... The row about
:00:25. > :00:31.lobbyists goes on. We should look up to our parliamentarians. At the
:00:32. > :00:35.moment we do not have that. Describe that -- described as a
:00:35. > :00:37.tough guy for a tough job, the new Chief Constable in North Yorkshire
:00:37. > :00:41.starts work. The six-year fight to preserve the
:00:41. > :00:43.habitat of a rare beetle which lives on one of our river banks.
:00:43. > :00:46.One of the world's longest-running musicals makes a return to the
:00:46. > :00:50.North East stage. And here comes summer. Blue skies
:00:50. > :00:53.and sunshine all round - until Wednesday at least!
:00:53. > :00:56.And in sport, good news for Durham cricketers on and off the field.
:00:56. > :01:06.And the boxers reviving the story of the great Geordie golfing legend
:01:06. > :01:14.
:01:14. > :01:18.almost a century after he died! It's time, once and for all, to end
:01:18. > :01:24.the practice of lobbyists paying politicians. So says the anti-
:01:24. > :01:26.sleaze campaigner and former MP, Martin Bell. It follows the
:01:26. > :01:29.suspension from the Labour Party of two of the region's most prominent
:01:29. > :01:33.peers, over claims they offered to carry out parliamentary work for
:01:33. > :01:36.cash. Lord Cunningham, the former Copeland MP, and Lord McKenzie, a
:01:36. > :01:39.former chief superintendent with Durham Police, are at the centre of
:01:39. > :01:43.those claims. Filmed by undercover journalists from the Sunday Times,
:01:43. > :01:51.they were recorded offering to help a South Korean company in exchange
:01:51. > :01:54.for money. The company, of course, didn't exist. Both men say they did
:01:54. > :02:02.nothing that was against the rules. Our Chief Reporter, Chris Stewart,
:02:02. > :02:12.has the story. At home reading the papers and
:02:12. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:19.guess what? He is in them, the result of a classic sting.
:02:19. > :02:27.should not propose a statement when you have a financial interest,
:02:27. > :02:34.which is a bizarre. What a pain! How do you get around that? What do
:02:34. > :02:39.you do? You get a colleague who has got nothing to do with it. Right.
:02:39. > :02:44.He's says he has done nothing wrong and is aware what members of the
:02:44. > :02:48.laws can and can't do. What you can do is get involved in business
:02:48. > :02:54.activities and most peers probably are involved in business. You don't
:02:54. > :02:57.get a salary so what they do is outside jobs. Providing that
:02:57. > :03:01.declared and registered on the register of interests, that does
:03:01. > :03:07.not prohibit them from speaking on the topic they are involved in.
:03:07. > :03:14.Providing, of course, they declare the interest and that is legitimate.
:03:14. > :03:17.But this evening, in stepped the man who became an MP and went to
:03:17. > :03:22.Westminster to try to change the public perception of politicians.
:03:22. > :03:28.He says it did not happen. If all of the reforms since the mid- 1990s
:03:28. > :03:31.have resulted to nothing. I served for four years in the House of
:03:31. > :03:37.Commons and I'd want a situation where we look up to our
:03:37. > :03:44.parliamentarians, and we do not have one. The is rally by civil
:03:44. > :03:48.service staff in Newcastle this afternoon, the kind of weary
:03:48. > :03:54.acceptance Mr Bell wanted to never see again. It was disappointing but
:03:54. > :03:59.hardly surprising, to be honest. It's not exactly unknown.
:03:59. > :04:05.Whitehaven, in. Cunningham's former constituency, more of the same. --
:04:05. > :04:08.George Cunningham's. People are struggling as it is an with
:04:08. > :04:15.politicians going out a daring stuff like that, it is not
:04:15. > :04:19.acceptable. I do agree that it was not illegal. But they need to do
:04:19. > :04:23.something to repair the state of British politics. Jack Cunningham
:04:24. > :04:28.was central to all that Labour did. He even ran a general election
:04:28. > :04:38.campaign in 1992. He was recorded by the Sunday Times asking for
:04:38. > :04:45.
:04:45. > :04:49.�12,000 a month from the lobbyists He also denies wrongdoing and says
:04:49. > :04:53.he quickly became suspicious of the journalists. He adds that he
:04:53. > :05:01.informed them he wanted nothing more to do with them. Both men will
:05:01. > :05:11.now be subject to investigations by parliamentary authorities.
:05:11. > :05:12.
:05:13. > :05:16.That story has already got to talking on our Facebook page.
:05:16. > :05:21.It's his first day in office. 48- year-old Dave Jones has taken over
:05:21. > :05:23.as Chief Constable of North Yorkshire, England's biggest county.
:05:23. > :05:26.His previous role was as an assistant chief constable in
:05:26. > :05:34.Northern Ireland. Mr Jones's County Commissioner has described him as
:05:34. > :05:39."a tough man for a tough job". John Cundy has this report.
:05:39. > :05:44.Dave Jones has been chief constable of this county since midnight.

:06:09. > :06:14.badly at the hands of poachers. Why is the police has been very good
:06:14. > :06:18.and prompt, I would like to know what you are doing to tackle the
:06:18. > :06:23.issue head on. Rural crime is something I have been tackling in
:06:23. > :06:28.my previous police service. It is a key priority for me. I am going to
:06:28. > :06:32.be active on this and work -- will work closely with rural community
:06:32. > :06:40.to identify the people we believe are travelling to commit these

:06:50. > :06:56.grandchildren. As I celebrate 50 years in England, my question is,
:06:57. > :07:06.how can you assure us, the community, that you policing will
:07:07. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:15.be firm, fair and we can go about our daily business without VIA
:07:16. > :07:20.because we were burgled and we were felt -- we felt traumatised.
:07:20. > :07:24.Burglary is one of the most dramatic incidents that can happen
:07:24. > :07:28.to anybody. I can offer the determination to tackle this
:07:28. > :07:32.particular type of crime. You live in the safest county in England and
:07:32. > :07:37.we are determined to make sure it stays the same. Dave Jones was
:07:37. > :07:40.introduced by his police commissioner. My stay Jones has the
:07:40. > :07:44.rural and urban experience and I want it that makes. I wanted
:07:44. > :07:50.someone who really Anders did serious crime, as well as rural
:07:50. > :07:56.crime, and could get to grips with those issues. Policing is about
:07:56. > :08:00.locking up the bad people, and we are pretty good at that. We arrest
:08:00. > :08:04.about 50 people a day. It is also about protecting the vulnerable and
:08:04. > :08:14.identifying those who need our help. Also, that we reassure the public.
:08:14. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:18.On his first it -- day, he is putting in an 18 are shift.
:08:18. > :08:22.A man has died after a crash in west Cumbria this morning. It
:08:22. > :08:25.happened on the A595 at Mealsgate in Wigton, and involved a lorry and
:08:25. > :08:28.a car. The car driver was killed and the lorry driver has minor
:08:28. > :08:31.injuries. Police say neither is from Cumbria.
:08:31. > :08:37.13 tax advice centres have been closed by HMRC across the North
:08:37. > :08:39.East, as they pilot a new, mobile, tax service. Unions claim 1,300
:08:39. > :08:42.jobs are under threat. The cost- cutting move sparked a
:08:42. > :08:44.demonstration in Newcastle this lunchtime, where members of the
:08:44. > :08:54.Public and Commercial Services Union were also striking over pay
:08:54. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :08:59.and conditions and workplace stress. All 15 of the North East's
:08:59. > :09:02.newspapers have joined together to lobby the Chancellor of the
:09:02. > :09:05.Exchequer, George Osborne. They want him to sanction a move that
:09:05. > :09:08.would see government cash given directly to the region. And they're
:09:08. > :09:11.asking that the decisions on where to spend are also made in the north
:09:11. > :09:13.east. The papers are hoping to persuade Mr Osborne of the merits
:09:13. > :09:16.of the argument ahead of the Chancellor's crucial spending
:09:16. > :09:17.review later this month. Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve
:09:17. > :09:22.reports. In its 143-year life, the Northern
:09:22. > :09:26.Echo has engaged in many campaigns. It's latest is intended to catch
:09:26. > :09:29.the eye of the Chancellor. The Echo's joined with the 14 other
:09:29. > :09:39.newspapers in the North East to try and persuade George Osborne that
:09:39. > :09:39.
:09:40. > :09:44.the region should be in charge of its own destiny. At is about every
:09:44. > :09:48.newspaper in the North East coming together behind a unique campaign
:09:48. > :09:51.to deliver a message to the government about the region's
:09:51. > :09:55.economic needs. It is the first time any region has come together
:09:55. > :09:58.in this way with all the newspapers getting behind a single message.
:09:58. > :10:02.The message is that the North East should be in charge of the cash
:10:02. > :10:05.that Government directs to the region and to say how it should be
:10:05. > :10:07.spent. All 15 north east newspapers joining the campaign is a gesture
:10:07. > :10:16.that's supposed to show the Chancellor the region can work
:10:16. > :10:19.together. I think we have got a track record in the North East of
:10:19. > :10:22.delivering when we are given the opportunity and what we are saying
:10:22. > :10:25.to the government is, you will get better value by giving us the extra
:10:26. > :10:28.powers to do what we can with the money. If George Osborne says yes,
:10:28. > :10:32.then this chap will become immensely popular. He's the boss of
:10:32. > :10:35.one of the two regional bodies that would oversee a regional budget of
:10:35. > :10:45.hundreds of millions of pounds. And have the say in where the cash
:10:45. > :10:49.should go. White hot isn't as close to the economies as we are. --
:10:49. > :10:53.Whitehall. We would say we would get far better out of the money if
:10:53. > :10:56.we were able to spend it locally. We'll have to wait until the 26th
:10:56. > :10:59.and the Spending Review to see if the Chancellor has been swayed by
:10:59. > :11:02.the power of the press. Although the Treasury did say a new local
:11:02. > :11:10.growth fund in 2015 will be a significant prize, offering power
:11:10. > :11:12.over housing and transport funding. The arched entrance to Newcastle's
:11:12. > :11:16.19th century railway station is to close permanently to traffic as
:11:16. > :11:19.part of a multi-million pounds makeover. Newcastle Central
:11:19. > :11:25.Station's portico is to be pedestrianised and the inside of
:11:25. > :11:31.the station upgraded. Work's expected to be completed by summer

:11:37. > :11:47.Ice creams all round and time to top up the tan. It's summer at last
:11:47. > :11:50.- but for how long? Proper summer weather in summer, he
:11:50. > :11:59.would have predicted it? The rest of the week looks like staying
:11:59. > :12:02.mostly dry. Join me later weather forecast. -- for the forecast.
:12:02. > :12:06.Now, the beetles! No, not them. We're talking about a rare insect
:12:06. > :12:09.that can only be found in the UK on the banks of the River Ouse just
:12:09. > :12:12.outside York. It's bright green and it's called the tansy.
:12:12. > :12:15.Conservationists have spent six years trying to preserve the
:12:15. > :12:18.habitat of the beetle, which lives along the river bank close to
:12:18. > :12:28.Beningbrough Hall. But flooding and hungry cattle haven't made their
:12:28. > :12:33.job easy. Ian White reports. There is only one way to find the
:12:33. > :12:36.rare tansy beetle in the whole of the UK. It is a bit like being on
:12:36. > :12:46.safari. This is a Land-Rover trip, Yorkshire's dire. This is where
:12:46. > :12:50.they eat -- near Beningbrough Hall in North Yorkshire. This is the
:12:51. > :12:57.perfect place for the tansy beetle. But why does it love York so much?
:12:57. > :13:01.You know all about them. Tansy beetles like York because it has a
:13:01. > :13:06.wonderful distribution of its food plant along the River Ouse. This is
:13:06. > :13:11.the only place in Britain where the tansy beetle a curse. It occurs
:13:11. > :13:17.along 45 kilometres of the River Ouse. Nowhere else? Nowhere else in
:13:17. > :13:22.the UK. We does it need preserving? It is part of our biodiversity. It
:13:22. > :13:27.is a benign it leaf eating beetle, no use to humans at all, but it is
:13:27. > :13:33.our duty to look after the species we have inherited. I want my
:13:33. > :13:40.granddaughters to be able to come down here and see the tansy beetle.
:13:40. > :13:47.It looks like they are meeting! They were, but I think we have put
:13:47. > :13:53.them off. Just to prove the beetles really are around Beningbrough,
:13:53. > :13:57.Mark had something to show me. There is a beetle on their to date.
:13:57. > :14:05.You can see where the cattle have been eating the plants. You can see
:14:06. > :14:11.it is hanging on. This year we concentrate on the beetles because
:14:11. > :14:18.it is active. -- this time of year. We are trying to mend the fencing
:14:18. > :14:21.against the cattle. It is a big job. The never ending! Creating the
:14:21. > :14:25.right habitat is crucial for its survival so the National Trust is
:14:25. > :14:31.digging for volunteers to help out with conservation work. With any
:14:31. > :14:34.luck the future is bright for this fascinating insect.
:14:34. > :14:36.Well if that's whetted your appetite and you want to find out
:14:36. > :14:46.more about bugs and wildlife on your doorstep, there's lots of

:14:49. > :14:53.One of the world's best-known and longest-running musicals has made a
:14:53. > :14:59.return to the North East stage. Cats first opened in London's West
:14:59. > :15:02.End in 1981. It's been touring ever since. The show, which has no human
:15:02. > :15:12.characters, is popular with both adults and children. Here's our
:15:12. > :15:14.
:15:15. > :15:18.arts and entertainment reporter, Sharuna Sagar.
:15:18. > :15:25.Considered by many as the purrfect musical. Cats is unashamedly 80s
:15:25. > :15:28.and is still going strong after more than 30 years. Based on the
:15:28. > :15:38.poems of TS Eliot, it's about a tribe of alley cats, The Jellicles,
:15:38. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:43.who make their home in a junkyard. The last time it was on here was
:15:43. > :15:47.nearly seven years ago. Where do you see the production anywhere in
:15:47. > :15:51.the world you will find it is exactly the same. The only thing
:15:51. > :15:54.that's different is the cast. That is why audiences come back time and
:15:54. > :15:57.time again. It's does inspire obsessive behaviour and not just
:15:57. > :16:06.from its audiences. The cast spend so much time in character that the
:16:07. > :16:16.feline features are rubbing off. stage it is funny. Every now and
:16:17. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:22.then, when someone wants to have a picture, I tend to have a poor -- a
:16:22. > :16:25.pop. We are capped eight times a week. And she's not alone. Geordie

:16:29. > :16:33.30 years ago, he offered to make sets for an am-dram group down
:16:33. > :16:40.south. He discovered he could sing and the rest is history. He's now
:16:40. > :16:45.been involved with Cats for 17 years. If you said the 30 years ago
:16:45. > :16:49.I would be daring us now, I would have laughed at you. Coming back to
:16:49. > :16:55.Newcastle is odd. It is so real because I feel like my life was a
:16:55. > :17:00.different appear. Now I'm coming back. It feels like I am to people
:17:00. > :17:03.sometimes. It feels a bit odd. Also, a cat! Miaow to that. The furry
:17:03. > :17:13.tale has been staged in 26 countries, been seen by more than
:17:13. > :17:17.
:17:17. > :17:20.50 million people and will be on in Sunderland until Saturday.
:17:20. > :17:23.Well they call it flaming June and it's started well, at least.
:17:24. > :17:27.There's nothing more guaranteed to put a smile back on your face than
:17:27. > :17:31.a spell of sunshine. And it looks like it could be here to stay until,
:17:31. > :17:41.wait for it, Wednesday! But does soaking up the rays make us any
:17:41. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:51.happier or more ready to spend? Peter Lugg went topless to find out.
:17:51. > :17:54.Sunshine at last and the chance to bring out the toys. And for those
:17:54. > :17:59.who spend their lives working outdoors, there is also something
:17:59. > :18:05.to smile about. It's been a long, cold spring for the farmers. The
:18:05. > :18:09.week of sun could make all the difference come harvest. It makes
:18:09. > :18:13.us all feel a lot better in the sunshine. The crops have perked up
:18:13. > :18:18.in the last 10 days. It feels a lot better. They are looking green and
:18:18. > :18:22.like they should be doing for the first time. It's the the same for
:18:22. > :18:28.garden centres. Suddenly, everyone is looking for plants. This time
:18:28. > :18:31.last year, sales were 30% down. The sun comes out and people want to
:18:31. > :18:37.get out. They've been waiting to get out, they've been wanting to,
:18:37. > :18:40.so everything is sold a month behind but it's here now. And who
:18:40. > :18:43.could imagine a more weather dependent industry than this one?
:18:43. > :18:46.It must gladden your heart to see all these people out on their
:18:46. > :18:52.loungers. Yeah, it's nice, I wish I could join them! But there is no
:18:52. > :18:54.chance! I am trying to be upbeat! Further north on the coast at
:18:54. > :19:01.Tynemouth, extraordinary scene's as bathers risk the beach without

:19:10. > :19:15.and sun protection. It is fantastic, get the sand between our toes. I
:19:15. > :19:25.don't want to get burned. thought we would come down and
:19:25. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:45.enjoy it while we can, make the most of it. And long may it last!
:19:45. > :19:49.It was that kind of topless. Was it a disappointing?
:19:49. > :19:55.And not for me. Were we will have a full weather
