lost her life trying to save her friend. And a fine for one of

:00:20.:00:27.

Britain's richest men. Alex was a report on a remarkable

:00:27.:00:32.

new server technique which enabled a man to get behind the wheel after

:00:32.:00:39.

having a brain tumour removed. And find out why a Japanese yen

:00:39.:00:48.

means that business is booming. In sport, the start of the football

:00:48.:00:55.

league season tomorrow. We will be looking at what the season holds for

:00:55.:01:05.
:01:05.:01:08.

our clubs. Hailed a hero to the last.

:01:08.:01:16.

The -- the funeral has been held for two girls who died in the River Wear

:01:16.:01:26.

last week. There was a crime at -- a service at Sunderland Crematorium.

:01:26.:01:31.

Tonibeth Purvis died after trying to rescue Chloe Fowler. They got into

:01:31.:01:41.
:01:41.:01:41.

trouble near the river -- at the River near Fatfield.

:01:41.:01:46.

Hundreds gathered to say goodbye to a teenager hailed a hero.

:01:46.:01:51.

Remembering Tonibeth Purvis, friend, daughter, sister. Such was

:01:51.:01:57.

her popularity that holy Trinity Church, which sees 300, that she was

:01:57.:02:03.

Daschle was full. She died after getting into difficulties of in the

:02:03.:02:08.

River Wear. Friends have described Tonibeth Purvis as a hero for the

:02:08.:02:12.

attempts to save her friend Chloe Fowler. Despite a rescue attempt,

:02:12.:02:18.

both girls were swept to their death. Mourners heard today Tonibeth

:02:18.:02:23.

Purvis described as a fun loving, happy-go-lucky teenager. You were

:02:23.:02:27.

born in princess and died a hero. Leading the service, the Reverend

:02:27.:02:36.

Canon David Glover who read out many of the tributes. An amazing person,

:02:36.:02:41.

you will always have a place in our hearts.

:02:41.:02:47.

You are my hero. I'm so thankful you tried to save Chloe's life. UI

:02:47.:02:53.

inspiring, you died a hero and always will be.

:02:53.:03:01.

Purvis wanted to make clear that it was just an accident. Nobody should

:03:01.:03:08.

feel any guilt. If there is any consolation for you, it may be in

:03:08.:03:16.

the fact that Tonibeth Purvis died trying to help a friend. She died a

:03:16.:03:23.

hero and most importantly, she died a friend. The church service was

:03:23.:03:29.

followed by a private family ceremony at Sunderland crematorium.

:03:29.:03:34.

Meanwhile, a whole community which has been shaken by the death begins

:03:34.:03:42.

to try to come to terms with its loss.

:03:42.:03:46.

Other news now, and a nurse who abused vulnerable patients at a care

:03:46.:03:49.

home in York has been struck off. Christina Cooper worked at Connaught

:03:49.:03:53.

Court care home in Fulford. She was suspended earlier this year for

:03:53.:03:56.

abusing residents there - all of whom suffered from dementia or some

:03:57.:04:01.

kind of cognitive impairment. She called one man an animal and held a

:04:01.:04:07.

soiled sheet in the face of another. The Nursing and Midwifery Council

:04:07.:04:09.

said she was no longer fit to practise, and that she posed a real

:04:09.:04:13.

risk to the public. She has now been struck off and can't apply to be a

:04:13.:04:14.

registered nurse again for five years.

:04:15.:04:18.

A Tyneside care home which in the past has seen deaths of residents

:04:18.:04:21.

investigated and two staff convicted of assault and neglect, is facing

:04:21.:04:26.

closure. Police began investigations into St Michael's View Care Home in

:04:26.:04:30.

South Shields in 2010 after 16 deaths in the course of a year. The

:04:30.:04:36.

home was then run by Southern Cross. It was taken over by new operators

:04:36.:04:39.

Countrywide Care Homes 19 months ago, but a spokesperson says the

:04:39.:04:43.

home is no longer financially viable and they'll do all they can to help

:04:43.:04:51.

residents find suitable accommodation.

:04:51.:04:58.

He is one of the country's richest men. Estimated to be worth more than

:04:58.:05:02.

�300 million. Philip Day controls almost 1000 shops and stalls and is

:05:02.:05:06.

thought to be richer than the Queen. But that does not make him immune

:05:06.:05:12.

from the law. He has been fined �450,000 for the destruction of some

:05:12.:05:16.

of our most beautiful ancient woodland. At the costs on top of

:05:16.:05:24.

that and he has to stump up almost �1 million.

:05:24.:05:29.

Gelt Woods, not far from Brampton in Cumbria. It has taken thousands of

:05:29.:05:33.

years for it to look like this and is loved by visitors. Three years

:05:33.:05:40.

ago, one visitor took this picture. Philip Day paid contractors paid --

:05:40.:05:45.

to build a track through the woods. The next picture taken that was

:05:45.:05:51.

this. Natural England stepped in. A site of special scientific interest

:05:51.:05:57.

had been wrecked. Philip Day lives here, not far from his words. The

:05:57.:06:02.

laws covering FSI s are clear and because he was deemed to be

:06:02.:06:09.

negligent, he would had to plead guilty. Mr Day says he is a

:06:09.:06:13.

conservationist and was horrified when he discovered what the

:06:13.:06:20.

contractors had done. But he says the fine is too big. So the man who

:06:20.:06:26.

controls nearly 1000 stores including Edinburgh woollen Mills,

:06:26.:06:30.

peacocks and others, says he plans to appeal. That is after a judge

:06:30.:06:35.

said in court that he tried to use the power of his wealth to avoid

:06:35.:06:39.

responsibility. The last people to damage this site were the Romans,

:06:39.:06:42.

who cut stone from the cliffs to help build Adrian 's war. And like

:06:42.:06:50.

the Romans, Mr Day -- unlike the Romans, Mr Day is at least carrying

:06:50.:07:00.
:07:00.:07:05.

out restoration work. A hospital on Tyneside is carrying

:07:05.:07:08.

out a remarkable new form of cancer surgery which allows brain tumours

:07:08.:07:13.

to be removed through the nose. Traditionally, such operations

:07:13.:07:22.

involves opening the skull which left patients with the risk of

:07:22.:07:24.

developing epilepsy. This new technique is much quicker, more

:07:24.:07:28.

accurate, and the person can quickly return to normal life. This

:07:28.:07:34.

exclusive report contains some brief shots of surgery.

:07:34.:07:40.

Back behind the wheel. Martin Asling, a sales wrap, was able to

:07:40.:07:42.

drive just three weeks after undergoing surgery for a brain

:07:42.:07:49.

tumour. No one wants the top of their head taken off. You get to the

:07:49.:07:53.

stage where even there you have cancer, you think, do I want that to

:07:53.:08:01.

happen? I would not be able to drive for six months plus, really. These

:08:01.:08:04.

are the surgeons at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital who carried out the

:08:04.:08:12.

operation. They had to remove a tumour on the base of the brain the

:08:12.:08:15.

size of a walnut. They are the very first in the UK to work this way.

:08:15.:08:20.

Instead of delving down through the brain, they approached it by going

:08:20.:08:26.

up through the nose. We used to do an operation called craniotomy which

:08:26.:08:30.

involves an incision across the top of the head, removing part of the

:08:30.:08:34.

skull and going round between the two halves of the brain. The risks

:08:34.:08:40.

are higher in terms of stroke and epilepsy. And it is painful, it

:08:40.:08:45.

takes patience a long time to recover. It is a much bigger deal.

:08:45.:08:49.

This is a procedure made possible not just because of the skill of the

:08:49.:08:56.

surgical team here. It is also thanks to the development of a tiny

:08:56.:09:00.

telescopic camera to guide the surgeons. It has made a phenomenal

:09:00.:09:05.

difference. The cameras -- the cameras are now so small they can

:09:05.:09:08.

fit on the enemy telescope which means that all the members of the

:09:08.:09:11.

team can see what is going on which improves the safety of the

:09:11.:09:17.

procedure. These are two doctors with different skills are working

:09:17.:09:21.

together at the cutting edge of surgery. They hope to use the method

:09:21.:09:26.

in ever more compact procedures. This is something we are trying to

:09:26.:09:30.

develop not only in Newcastle, but as technology gets better, there are

:09:30.:09:36.

more and more tumours that we can reach less innovatively. It is an

:09:36.:09:42.

extension of what we have been doing for a number of years. To see Mr as

:09:42.:09:47.

laying make such a good recovery from a new technique for Newcastle,

:09:47.:09:51.

we were delighted. It great advert for the NHS and for Newcastle.

:09:51.:09:58.

home in Washington, Mr Astley is recovering. He is looking forward to

:09:58.:10:05.

returning to work. -- in this dazzling. I have had three games of

:10:05.:10:11.

goal. That shows you how nearly back to full fitness I am. My golf with

:10:11.:10:18.

the same rubbish, but it gets me out. -- my golf is the same rubbish.

:10:18.:10:21.

The Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition in Durham has attracted more than

:10:21.:10:24.

30,000 visitors during its first month. Organisers say visitors have

:10:24.:10:27.

come from 22 different countries. They're expecting another 50,000

:10:27.:10:30.

before the event closes in two months.

:10:30.:10:34.

The North East musician Sting is supporting a campaign to redevelop a

:10:34.:10:37.

seaside swimming pool. He's given his backing and a financial

:10:37.:10:41.

contribution to the Friends of Tynemouth Outdoor Pool. They want to

:10:41.:10:46.

redevelop the lido at the end of the Longsands, which used to be a major

:10:46.:10:56.
:10:56.:10:58.

summer attraction. Now, what is this crane for wartime

:10:58.:11:03.

nostalgia? Hardly a weekend passes without an event bringing crowds to

:11:03.:11:09.

watch classic cars and their 40s fashion is and the musical George

:11:09.:11:13.

Formby and Glen Miller. At that the sound of high octane race cars and

:11:13.:11:21.

you have Croft Circuit's Nostalgia Weekend near Darlington.

:11:21.:11:26.

Let's put you behind the wheel of an Alexis formula three race car. Flat

:11:26.:11:32.

out at 90 mph, break into third through the chicane. Accelerated

:11:32.:11:39.

away. This is motor racing as it used to be in the 1960s and 1970s.

:11:39.:11:43.

You didn't really want to come in contact with anything very solid.

:11:43.:11:48.

You would do yourself an injury. There was no carbon fibre, in those

:11:48.:11:55.

days. There were bits and pieces of road car that you could pick up in

:11:55.:12:02.

your garage. There was some sporting -- classic sporting cars and

:12:02.:12:12.
:12:12.:12:14.

saloons. The Helix, Lotus Cortina is, Ginetta s. Your daughter is

:12:14.:12:19.

looking really bored! No, I think they are really enjoying it.

:12:19.:12:23.

passion for classic cars I understand, but when it comes to

:12:23.:12:28.

military vehicles, and all the re-enactment, I am stark! -- I am

:12:28.:12:38.
:12:38.:12:41.

stark! -- I am flummoxed. We set up a static defence perimeter. We are

:12:41.:12:46.

somewhere within Germany with the Soviet bloc as our enemies. This is

:12:46.:12:54.

an American car -- vehicle, built to last ten weeks, but this one is 70

:12:54.:13:02.

years old. It is part of the military display year. They were

:13:02.:13:07.

totally utilitarian. They could be taken to pieces quickly and mended.

:13:07.:13:13.

This is fairly universal. They were used until the 1950s. Activists paid

:13:13.:13:22.

five, 19 40s fashion 's and a tank fire demonstration, and it has all

:13:22.:13:26.

the attributes of a military demonstration. -- add this

:13:26.:13:30.

Spitfires. Coming up next, why the Japanese

:13:30.:13:34.

have got a thing about our goats. And we're taking off with the

:13:34.:13:36.

competitors pitting their skills against the elements in the Northern

:13:37.:13:39.

Gliding Championships. The conditions were right for them,

:13:39.:13:44.

and they're nice here at the moment, so Hannah's on the roof.

:13:44.:13:51.

I certainly am, Carol. Beautiful summer sunshine here on the roof. I

:13:51.:14:01.
:14:01.:14:04.

will be back later on with the full buying your socks, material,

:14:04.:14:12.

comfortable socks? In Japan, it is the appeal of mohair socks made by a

:14:12.:14:15.

tiny company in Northumberland. Capricorn Mohair Socks as exported

:14:15.:14:22.

thousands of pairs. Whether they are red, pink, blue, or

:14:22.:14:26.

purple, most of us would not think twice about where a la socks come

:14:26.:14:31.

from. But for Capricorn will let socks in Rothbury, where they are

:14:31.:14:37.

from has proved to be a big selling point. -- Capricorn Mohair Socks.

:14:37.:14:44.

The Japanese love UK made a quality products. They only have small feat.

:14:44.:14:51.

We don't do large socks. We only do a size ten. They have appeared in

:14:51.:14:57.

bright -- in fashion magazines and on the catwalks over there.

:14:57.:15:03.

mohair socks are sourced from Angora goats. They are sent down to

:15:03.:15:08.

Leicester where the fleece is fun and listed on traditional machines

:15:08.:15:13.

into a green socks which is then died. It took five months to take --

:15:13.:15:18.

to make all the socks for the last order. It has made a massive

:15:18.:15:28.
:15:28.:15:28.

difference. We have 56 retailers and most of them ordering -- paying

:15:28.:15:34.

between 100 -- in �700. Until recently, the business was run from

:15:34.:15:39.

home. That proved to be hectic, with the kids around. The kids were

:15:39.:15:44.

saying, daddy, your socks are crazy! They get used to seeing socks

:15:44.:15:48.

around. For now, he's just happy to have them out of his house but hopes

:15:48.:15:58.
:15:58.:16:00.

more people around the world will one day be wearing his mohair socks.

:16:00.:16:03.

The Northern gliding temperatures have been taking place and the best

:16:03.:16:08.

of our region's pilots have at last in the right conditions to take to

:16:08.:16:12.

the air. It has been happening at Sutton bank. Olivia Richwald had a

:16:12.:16:20.

ringside seat. Surfing across the sky, riding

:16:20.:16:24.

invisible thermals. This is a race that you can't hear. A contest you

:16:24.:16:29.

can barely see. But today, at Sutton bank in North Yorkshire, the spirit

:16:29.:16:34.

is so competitive. It's relaxation, its achievement, you are doing

:16:34.:16:41.

something that is different. It is a challenge as well. But it is just an

:16:41.:16:45.

enjoyable sport or pastime, depending on how seriously you take

:16:45.:16:49.

it. 28 pilots are taking part and I am going to get a better view. We

:16:49.:16:53.

are now at the mercy of the thermals. The annual Northern

:16:53.:16:58.

contest here actually started on Saturday but this is a sport

:16:58.:17:02.

completely dictated by the weather. Until now, it just hasn't been

:17:02.:17:06.

right. We went through all the same motions yesterday, got all the

:17:06.:17:10.

gliders lined up and ready to go, and a huge shower came through and

:17:10.:17:18.

spoiled everybody's farm. In the skies, the pilots judge the thermals

:17:18.:17:22.

to gain maximum advantage. GPS trackers are on board to make sure

:17:22.:17:30.

no one cuts a corner. This is the hundred million -- kilometre race

:17:30.:17:36.

track in the sky. They are going to York and back again. This shows how

:17:36.:17:40.

many pilots set of earlier. They are nearly all back but some of them

:17:40.:17:44.

have had to land in fields. They have all phoned in and they are all

:17:44.:17:50.

safe. What does the winner win? pat on the head! We will probably

:17:50.:17:55.

come up with some sort of prize. But it is because lots of saying they

:17:55.:18:02.

won the race. The competition ends at the weekend. It is not a

:18:02.:18:08.

spectator sport, but a spectacular one.

:18:08.:18:15.

I took my mum gliding for her 65th birthday. Well, a nice man took her!

:18:15.:18:21.

Alligator say, that was brave of you, but it wasn't! Shall we do the

:18:21.:18:23.

sport? Yes, why not.

:18:23.:18:26.

First this evening, is a summer transfer market breakthrough in the

:18:26.:18:29.

offing for Newcastle fans at last? Website quotes from the Lyon

:18:29.:18:32.

President indicate the French club and the Magpies have finally reached

:18:32.:18:35.

an agreement for the transfer of striker Bafetimbi Gomis. The fee

:18:35.:18:42.

seems to have been the main sticking point.

:18:42.:18:46.

With the start of the Premier League season still a fortnight away and

:18:46.:18:51.

with the Football League celebrating its 125th birthday, it is perhaps

:18:51.:18:53.

fitting that four league clubs should hold centre stage this

:18:53.:18:59.

weekend. Middlesbrough were the Jekyll and Hyde team last season.

:18:59.:19:07.

How fare this season? New signings are imminent but only a

:19:07.:19:11.

couple of fresh additions to the senior squad so far. The experienced

:19:11.:19:18.

midfielder Dean Whitehead, and a Josef Varga, a Hungarian midfielder.

:19:18.:19:24.

Much will depend on the likes of Marvin Emnes who helped

:19:24.:19:29.

Middlesbrough win against Bordeaux last week. He has to find the

:19:29.:19:34.

consistency that he showed two seasons ago. He got two at the

:19:34.:19:40.

weekend against Bordeaux. Their striker rampaged across the front,

:19:40.:19:44.

causing havoc. It is an area of the page that we need to strengthen. We

:19:45.:19:53.

are working hard to do that. -- an area of the pitch. We need some

:19:53.:19:58.

reinforcements. Tomorrow's visitors ask Leicester. It start but

:19:58.:20:03.

promotion is the aim. Tony Mowbray -- Tony Mowbray and's men may start

:20:03.:20:07.

under the radar. People will be looking at lack of signings at the

:20:07.:20:11.

end of last season. The final results of where the league table

:20:11.:20:16.

finished and yet for all but six or seven weeks of the season, we were

:20:16.:20:22.

at the top last year. We are a good side and we have good players. The

:20:22.:20:26.

key is keeping them fit. We have invested in sports science and the

:20:26.:20:30.

medical department. Hopefully, that'll keep them fit and out on the

:20:30.:20:33.

football pitch getting the results that we enjoyed in the first half

:20:33.:20:41.

the season. The first team squad remains a bit short but Tony Mowbray

:20:41.:20:47.

thinks his side might surprise a few people. The fans are hoping he is

:20:47.:20:52.

proved right. And in the last hour, Middlesbrough

:20:52.:20:56.

have confirmed their third summer signing. The ex-Southampton defender

:20:56.:21:02.

Frazer Richardson. Tony Mowbray has been in charge of

:21:02.:21:06.

Middlesbrough for less than three years but he is 10th in the list of

:21:06.:21:10.

longer serving managers. Right there at number three behind Arsene Wenger

:21:10.:21:20.
:21:20.:21:21.

and Paul Tisdale is Greg Abbott. Last season was his fifth in charge

:21:21.:21:26.

of Brunton Park and arguably the toughest. His team flirted with

:21:26.:21:30.

relegation but just had enough to keep them safe. Attendances dropped

:21:30.:21:36.

again, dipping below the 5000 mark. That is a worry so maybe the patient

:21:36.:21:42.

-- the players had to claw back some good well. In the last five or six

:21:42.:21:46.

years, we have improved every year. We have had back-to-back Wembley

:21:46.:21:52.

appearances. We donated well too much on what happened last year. We

:21:52.:21:58.

need the players to work as hard as they can every day in training and

:21:58.:22:03.

when the games are on, produce better performances than they have.

:22:03.:22:07.

The summer saw Greg Abbott sign a new contract albeit just for one

:22:07.:22:11.

year. He knows the importance of making a good start tomorrow at home

:22:11.:22:17.

against Leyton Orient. We are in a four-game season. For games and

:22:17.:22:20.

everyone is full of doom and gloom. For good games and everyone thinks

:22:20.:22:25.

you're going to win the league. So we have to make sure we perform. We

:22:25.:22:31.

have to get the start right, it is absolutely vital. David Amoo and

:22:31.:22:35.

Reece James are the only new arrivals, so what can Carlisle fans

:22:35.:22:39.

expect for the new campaign? everybody buys into what we are

:22:39.:22:44.

doing, and we get a good start, we might be a surprise of the season to

:22:44.:22:47.

a number of clubs. We have an unknown quality in the group.

:22:47.:22:51.

We featured our League Two clubs earlier in the week. Just a reminder

:22:52.:22:54.

that Hartlepool travel to Rochdale, while York host Northampton.

:22:54.:22:58.

And Berwick are at home in the Scottish League Cup tomorrow after

:22:58.:23:02.

earning a Ramsden's Cup tie at once-mighty Glasgow Rangers.

:23:02.:23:06.
