:03:42. > :03:52.campaign to increase awareness of the hidden dangers of smoking in
:03:52. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:56.homes and cars. Here's our health Every day, millions of children in
:03:56. > :03:59.the UK are exposed to second-hand smoke. In the North East, that
:03:59. > :04:09.number is thought to be 84,000, putting them at risk of increased
:04:09. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:15.lung disease, meningitis and cot death. And today, to coincide with
:04:15. > :04:18.this new Government campaign, the Royal College of Physicians
:04:18. > :04:28.revealed over 800 children a day are now visiting a doctor with
:04:28. > :04:31.conditions related to inhaling someone else's smoke. The numbers
:04:32. > :04:37.make uncomfortable reading. 13,000 children need medical treatment
:04:38. > :04:47.every year. 68% of parents who smoke admit smoking with children
:04:47. > :04:54.in the car. But there is support for change. 85% of adults want a
:04:54. > :04:59.ban on smoking in cars with children. But the key message if
:04:59. > :05:03.you are not ready to quit is to take it totally outside, don't
:05:03. > :05:08.smoke in the car, just smoking out the door or with the car window
:05:08. > :05:12.open is not going to protect children. The new research today
:05:12. > :05:17.also shows that three-quarters of adults had no idea that so many
:05:17. > :05:25.children were affected by second- hand smoke. They didn't think it

:05:53. > :05:56.Donna from Blakelaw in Newcastle used to smoke around her children,

:06:06. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:10.Donna's children who forced her to stop. They had seen what had
:06:10. > :06:16.happened to their grandma. They were being taught about second-hand
:06:16. > :06:21.smoking school. They were learning a lot more than I had however
:06:21. > :06:26.learned as a child. They had seen the pictures on my cigarette packet.
:06:26. > :06:30.They told me, you were doing this to us as well as yourself, and we
:06:30. > :06:33.don't want you to die like grandma did. Smoking is still the North
:06:33. > :06:36.East's biggest killer, but getting the message about its dangers and
:06:36. > :06:38.the increased price has seen more people have quit here than anywhere
:06:38. > :06:41.else in the country. Health experts now want to
:06:41. > :06:44.underline this message that other people's smoke can and is damaging
:06:44. > :06:47.the health of children. And Sharon Barbour joins me now. So,
:06:47. > :06:55.this is a Government campaign, but does the Government plan to ban
:06:55. > :06:59.smoking in cars and homes when children are present? There is a
:06:59. > :07:03.ban currently being considered in Scotland, and similar bans are in
:07:03. > :07:06.place in countries like Australia and Canada. England's Public Health
:07:06. > :07:13.Minister says she thinks smoking should be banned in cars carrying
:07:13. > :07:16.children, on the grounds of child welfare. She is supported like --
:07:16. > :07:22.by organisations like the Royal College of paediatrics and Child
:07:22. > :07:26.Health. But it is not looking likely in the near future. A short
:07:26. > :07:30.time ago, a spokesperson for the Department of Health told me in a
:07:30. > :07:33.statement that when it comes to smoking in the home or family car,
:07:33. > :07:38.we don't believe legislation is the best way to encourage people to
:07:38. > :07:48.change their behaviour. But it is clear that the government thinks

:07:58. > :08:01.Cleveland Police are disbanding their mounted section because they
:08:01. > :08:05.can no longer afford it. The officers will be redeployed, and
:08:05. > :08:07.new homes will have to be found for its six horses. The unit has been
:08:07. > :08:10.policing Teesside's streets for 40 years. But now it's become the
:08:10. > :08:15.latest victim of budget cuts. Here's our political editor Richard
:08:15. > :08:18.Moss. They are a regular sight on Cleveland's streets. But from April
:08:18. > :08:21.next year, the force will no longer have a mounted division. The Chief
:08:21. > :08:24.Constable says it's one of the hardest decisions she's had to take.
:08:24. > :08:30.But one that's driven by the need to make cuts. The area's police and
:08:30. > :08:34.crime commissioner is sympathetic. We are going to lose something like
:08:34. > :08:39.30% of the policing budget by 2015, so we are in difficult
:08:39. > :08:42.circumstances. I understand members of the public will be concerned,
:08:42. > :08:46.because the mounted section has been popular with people over the
:08:46. > :08:50.years, and a part of policing over the years, but we are into a
:08:50. > :08:55.different era now where financial circumstances are a lot more tight
:08:55. > :09:00.and we have to make difficult decisions. Cleveland Police says it
:09:00. > :09:04.costs half a million pounds a year to run the Mountain Division. Seven
:09:04. > :09:11.of the officers are here will be redeployed, so it will save around
:09:11. > :09:14.�88,000 per year by disbanding this section.
:09:14. > :09:19.But for the staff affected and the public there is a relationship that
:09:19. > :09:22.goes beyond pounds and pence. The Police Commissioner does want to
:09:22. > :09:27.hear from any objectors, but the final decision will still lie with
:09:27. > :09:31.the Chief Constable. I will go through the report, and I will have
:09:31. > :09:35.questions and concerns as well, so there will be a scrutiny process,
:09:35. > :09:41.and that is the basis on which Crown Commissioners were
:09:41. > :09:44.established. Next month will mark the
:09:44. > :09:54.anniversary of Cleveland's mounted section. But it looks like its 40th

:11:23. > :11:27.do nothing to help, and was forced back by a strong smell of aviation
:11:27. > :11:32.fuel. An inquiry has already determined that the cause of the
:11:32. > :11:38.crash was due in part to Mr Spencer's lack of experience and
:11:38. > :11:41.probable training inadequacies. In February this year, his flying
:11:41. > :11:46.instructor was jailed for six months for falsifying his flight

:21:59. > :22:05.commentator on BBC Newcastle, came through the scheme a few years ago.
:22:05. > :22:09.It gave me the opportunity that I was looking for to get into sports
:22:09. > :22:13.and football media, and it gave me the ground in that I wanted in both
:22:13. > :22:17.radio and online with a little television as well, so it was
:22:17. > :22:21.across all platforms, which is really important, because media is
:22:21. > :22:27.in so many forms these days. It was a fantastic introduction, and
:22:27. > :22:31.really gave me the opportunity to develop and then stay in the
:22:31. > :22:34.industry, and eventually get a full-time job. It can be done! For

:22:58. > :23:01.the opulence of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, but the
:23:01. > :23:04.Yorkshire coast is exactly where Sultan Al Darmaki wanted to put his
:23:04. > :23:07.money to help boost a horror film festival. He says that the Bram

:23:39. > :23:45.particularly Hammill horror films, and Whitby might be small on the
:23:45. > :23:48.world stage, but he has plans for big names here in the autumn.
:23:49. > :23:53.want to bring in a lot of relevant names, big names in the horror film

:24:25. > :24:29.collaboration came about. We made contact, and he agreed to meet me
:24:29. > :24:33.in London. We then agreed it would be better to meet in Whitby, and he
:24:33. > :24:39.fell in love with the idea of the festival in the town. With so many
:24:39. > :24:45.people in Whitby reliance -- reliant on the tourism created by
:24:45. > :24:49.Bram Stoker, there is excitement. It sounds really good. Hopefully it
:24:49. > :24:55.will begin -- bring a lot more tourists into the town. We get a
:24:55. > :24:59.lot of Dracula followers here, so it would be good. I don't want to
