:00:19. > :00:21.Tonight: Calls for tougher penalties for those caught carrying

:00:21. > :00:24.knives from a mum whose son was stabbed to death.

:00:24. > :00:26.How the wrangle over the future of children's heart surgery in the

:00:26. > :00:29.north could go on for at least another year.

:00:29. > :00:32.Cashing in on the Ashes. Could one of the north's biggest ever

:00:32. > :00:34.sporting events bring in �20 million to the local economy?

:00:34. > :00:41.The abandoned pet terrapins that are said to be threatening

:00:41. > :00:44.Cumbria's wildlife. And how punk rock, and pomp and

:00:44. > :00:47.circumstance are coming together at one of Britain's great traditional

:00:47. > :00:50.occasions. In sport, we meet the hockey

:00:50. > :00:53.international hoping to spread the word about his favourite game.

:00:53. > :01:03.And the Aussies are in town! They've checked into their north-

:01:03. > :01:08.

:01:08. > :01:12.east base, ahead of this week's Get tough on those who carry knives.

:01:12. > :01:15.That's the message from a mum whose son was stabbed to death. It comes

:01:15. > :01:17.as new figures released today reveal that more people arrested in

:01:17. > :01:22.the Cleveland Police area were found to be carrying an offensive

:01:22. > :01:25.weapon than in any other part of the country. Police recovered a

:01:25. > :01:33.firearm, knife or some other kind of weapon on 269 occasions last

:01:33. > :01:37.year. Campaigners say the force isn't doing enough to combat the

:01:37. > :01:40.problem. Today's figures, which clearly

:01:40. > :01:44.suggest the streets of towns like Middlesbrough are among the most

:01:44. > :01:49.dangerous in the country, will come as a shock to parents and the wider

:01:49. > :01:56.public alike. They're based on the number of incidents where a person

:01:56. > :01:59.is stopped by police and found to be carrying a weapon. In our region,

:01:59. > :02:08.Middlesbrough's figure of 269 compares to 177 in North Yorkshire,

:02:08. > :02:11.221 in County Durham, 270 in Cumbria and 615 in Northumbria. But

:02:11. > :02:14.it's when those figures are placed in context with the size of

:02:14. > :02:24.population that Cleveland's are found to be the worst in the

:02:24. > :02:38.

:02:38. > :02:43.country. A gang came to the door when he was at his friend's house.

:02:43. > :02:53.They wanted to smoke drugs, Christopher was frightened and

:02:53. > :02:54.

:02:54. > :02:57.descended and a way. But they came back later and Chris was killed.

:02:57. > :03:00.Theresa Cave from Redcar knows better than most the consequences

:03:00. > :03:03.of carrying an offensive weapon. It's just over ten years since her

:03:03. > :03:05.son Chris was stabbed to death. Since her loss, she's campaigned

:03:05. > :03:08.tirelessly to raise awareness of knife crime but still feels her

:03:08. > :03:12.services are not used enough. They should get a sentence to show

:03:12. > :03:14.that they should not get away with carrying a knife. Cleveland Police

:03:14. > :03:18.say they've committed thousands of hours towards addressing the issue

:03:18. > :03:20.and the figures are actually down on last year. It's just that the

:03:20. > :03:23.situation in other areas has improved even more quickly.

:03:23. > :03:29.From our perspective, the work we're doing in the local community

:03:30. > :03:37.is to find -- is proving a success. We're talking 260 offences across

:03:37. > :03:47.the year. For us, that is potentially fewer victims of

:03:47. > :03:50.

:03:50. > :03:53.It's a medical and legal wrangle that's been going on for years. But

:03:53. > :03:57.now, it's emerged that a decision on the future of children's heart

:03:57. > :04:00.units in Newcastle and Leeds could be at least another year away. The

:04:00. > :04:03.NHS wanted to close the unit in Leeds, but that decision was

:04:03. > :04:06.blocked at the High Court. A new report says the obligation to

:04:06. > :04:09.listen to all sides must take precedence over the need to end all

:04:09. > :04:18.the uncertainty. Gerry Jackson is live for us at Newcastle's Freeman

:04:18. > :04:21.Hospital. It is five years since this raised

:04:21. > :04:26.its head. Just over one year since there were scenes of celebration

:04:26. > :04:31.here, but as we just know -- as we now know their relief was premature.

:04:31. > :04:39.After the successful challenge by Leeds, the judge ordered it to be

:04:39. > :04:42.re-run. We could be waiting a while yet.

:04:42. > :04:45.It was all about reducing the number of children's heart surgery

:04:45. > :04:48.centres, to concentrate expertise and hence, it was said, save more

:04:48. > :04:51.young lives. It's 13 months since the original decision to save the

:04:52. > :04:56.CHU at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. The one in Leeds was marked for

:04:56. > :04:59.closure. Anger in West Yorkshire prompted a legal challenge at the

:04:59. > :05:02.High Court. In March this year, the judge quashed the decision to end

:05:02. > :05:07.surgery at Leeds after what she agreed was fundamental unfairness

:05:07. > :05:13.in the NHS review. Finally, this June, the Health Secretary said the

:05:13. > :05:23.plans could not go ahead in their current form. Now, according to NHS

:05:23. > :05:25.

:05:25. > :05:35.England, it seems a new verdict could be another year away, or more.

:05:35. > :05:43.

:05:44. > :05:49.NHS England's medical director Bill And he says that could all take

:05:49. > :05:55.until June 2014. Everyone concerned agrees that unnecessary delay is

:05:55. > :05:58.good for nobody. The question is, how long must this go on?

:05:58. > :06:06.Three all the parents are bitterly disappointed that it will be at

:06:06. > :06:09.least another year. Everyone involved understands being

:06:09. > :06:15.methodical and transparency, but what is on hold as the development

:06:15. > :06:18.of the service and everyone is in limbo, which is so distressing.

:06:18. > :06:25.harsh truth is that however long it takes, and whatever is pronounced,

:06:25. > :06:30.a lot of people are sure to be made very unhappy.

:06:30. > :06:34.Joining me now is the trustee executive. While the surgeons and

:06:34. > :06:39.clinicians are able to do their jobs, why does it matter in terms

:06:39. > :06:43.about come whether this takes one year or two or five? We have got to

:06:43. > :06:50.get it right. The Government decided that the scope of the study

:06:50. > :06:55.is now much wider. It is going to include ongoing support and -- from

:06:55. > :07:00.childhood into adulthood, and on it goes. It was anticipated one year,

:07:00. > :07:05.possibly two years. What can you not do until this is resolved?

:07:05. > :07:08.There is uncertainty in the investment programme. There's an

:07:08. > :07:12.additional planned to recruit for the staff and additional facilities,

:07:12. > :07:19.and we want to get on and get things done. You think one here is

:07:19. > :07:25.optimistic? -- one year? I think it is going to be quite a scope study.

:07:26. > :07:34.There will be a lot of public opinion. We'd can only keep our

:07:34. > :07:36.fingers crossed. Thank you. From the Leeds went, there is a lot

:07:36. > :07:40.of campaign. They say they are keeping up with their campaign and

:07:40. > :07:45.say that they welcome the fact that NHS England is committed to new

:07:45. > :07:47.levels of transparency and stakeholders engagement. Their

:07:47. > :07:53.overwhelming priority is the input of patients' families and

:07:53. > :07:57.clinicians from all regions. Whatever is decided in the end,

:07:57. > :08:03.there is no guarantee at this stage that there would not be yet another

:08:04. > :08:06.legal challenge at the end of all of that.

:08:07. > :08:08.A woman and her husband have denied stealing nearly �100,000 her 91-

:08:09. > :08:11.year-old godmother's life savings account. Teesside Crown Court's

:08:11. > :08:13.heard that Lesley and Andrew Reeve from Hartlepool are accused of

:08:13. > :08:16.withdrawing the cash and transferring money over the

:08:16. > :08:19.internet from Joan Killen's account to their joint account over two

:08:19. > :08:29.years. Mr Reeve became a co- signatory for Miss Killen's

:08:29. > :08:30.

:08:30. > :08:33.accounts after her mental health began to deteriorate with dementia.

:08:33. > :08:35.A controversial merger of a private and state school in North Tyneside

:08:35. > :08:37.will go ahead after councillors voted unanimously against a

:08:37. > :08:40.judicial review. The fee-paying Kings School and state Priory

:08:40. > :08:46.Primary school in Tynemouth will become the new Kings Priory School

:08:46. > :08:49.in September. North Tyneside council says it is working to

:08:49. > :08:59.counteract the detrimental effect it says the merger will have on

:08:59. > :08:59.

:08:59. > :09:03.other schools in the area. Now we have decided the legal challenges

:09:03. > :09:06.of the agenda, we will ask if they are willing to give financial

:09:06. > :09:14.relief to the schools affected. This is a perfectly reasonable

:09:14. > :09:19.request, considering they are paying off a �5 million debt of the

:09:19. > :09:23.independent school. They can grow to the size of a

:09:23. > :09:25.dinner plate, have a nasty bite and are quite partial to a leg of duck!

:09:25. > :09:28.But now abandoned pet terrapins are threatening Cumbrian wildlife,

:09:28. > :09:32.according to one of the county's rescue centres. It seems people buy

:09:32. > :09:35.them as pets then decide they are a bit of a handful. Around 100

:09:35. > :09:40.terrapins have been found dumped in rivers and ponds in the Carlisle

:09:40. > :09:43.and Penrith areas over the last year. 14 were recovered in the last

:09:43. > :09:47.week. A quick inspection for a new

:09:47. > :09:50.arrival at the sanctuary. He might not look like much of a handful now,

:09:50. > :10:00.but with snappy jaws and claws always ready to swipe, terrapins

:10:00. > :10:03.

:10:03. > :10:13.can quickly become tricky pets. goes back over the years since the

:10:13. > :10:16.start of the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze. But turtles being

:10:16. > :10:26.sold have got bigger and bigger, and people are dumping them all

:10:26. > :10:29.over the place throughout the Lake District. The terrapins were

:10:29. > :10:33.rescued from the River Eden near Carlisle and the Eamont in Penrith.

:10:33. > :10:38.The water's too cold for them to breed but they still pose a threat

:10:38. > :10:48.to the county's native wildlife. They will eat anything that moves,

:10:48. > :10:49.

:10:49. > :10:59.and they will lead and take the legs of ducks. Snapping turtles can

:10:59. > :11:02.

:11:02. > :11:05.be really dangerous and could take the finger off a child. Terry says

:11:05. > :11:08.there is a limit to how many terrapins he can rescue. He's

:11:08. > :11:10.calling for more regulation for the pet shops which sell them and a bit

:11:10. > :11:14.more common sense from the people who buy them.

:11:14. > :11:17.And you can have your say on that story on the Look North Facebook

:11:20. > :11:26.Still to come on tonight's Look North, Jeff's here with Tuesday's

:11:26. > :11:35.sport. Plus, how one of our most famous

:11:35. > :11:39.punk rock bands will be doing their bit for a very British institution.

:11:39. > :11:45.Did you see the sky last night? I will have some fantastic images of

:11:45. > :11:48.the sunset if you missed it. Just three days to go now until

:11:48. > :11:51.England play Australia in the Ashes at Chester-le-Street - the home of

:11:51. > :11:56.Durham County Cricket Club. The match is arguably the biggest ever

:11:56. > :12:00.sporting fixture in our region. It's sold out for the first three

:12:00. > :12:03.days, and tickets are going fast for the remaining two. When

:12:03. > :12:13.everything's added up it could bring in an estimated �20 million

:12:13. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :12:17.for the local economy. Here's our business correspondent.

:12:17. > :12:20.There's a palpable sense of anticipation hanging over Riverside.

:12:20. > :12:23.Its first Ashes Test is almost here. Five days of cricket against the

:12:23. > :12:32.most eagerly-awaited opponent - Australia. And while the match is

:12:32. > :12:36.being played, it will be quietly doing its bit for our economy.

:12:36. > :12:41.looks like it will be a minimum of �20 million coming into the economy

:12:41. > :12:48.as a result. That is people spending money in hotels,

:12:48. > :12:55.restaurants, bars, going out and seeing the county while they are

:12:55. > :12:58.here. And it is not just the obvious tourist facilities that

:12:58. > :13:01.will benefit. This gym overlooks Riverside. Indeed the deal to put

:13:01. > :13:05.it here allowed the cricket club to build a stand for its first Test

:13:05. > :13:10.back in 2002. And the Ashes should bring it an upsurge in membership.

:13:10. > :13:17.The atmosphere in the club changes when cricket matches are won. There

:13:17. > :13:22.are a lot of people visiting the area and the ground, and you get

:13:22. > :13:25.people coming to see what we can offer. As for Durham Cricket itself,

:13:25. > :13:28.the club should make money from hosting the Ashes Test. Although it

:13:28. > :13:36.has to pay the game's governing body, the ECB, an undisclosed sum

:13:36. > :13:39.for the privilege of doing so. There is clearly a massive

:13:39. > :13:44.investment in originally securing the ear and then developing the

:13:44. > :13:48.ground around it. But it is different to a lot of the one-day

:13:48. > :13:55.stuff that we have here watch does not generate a great deal of money.

:13:55. > :14:00.But it is part of the price you pay for the bigger paydays that keep

:14:00. > :14:03.the ground ticking over. The hope is though that this Ashes test will

:14:03. > :14:10.help to narrow the �1.2 million pound loss Durham reported for its

:14:10. > :14:13.last financial year. With the rest of the region benefiting to the

:14:13. > :14:16.tune of �20 million pounds, it would seem only fair.

:14:16. > :14:21.So a big boost to the economy anticipated when the match gets

:14:21. > :14:24.underway on Friday. In the meantime, the Australians have actually

:14:24. > :14:27.arrived. Here they are, checking into their team hotel in Gateshead

:14:27. > :14:30.ahead of tomorrow's practice session at Chester-le-Street.

:14:30. > :14:33.Meanwhile the finishing touches are being applied to the ground, and

:14:33. > :14:42.Katie Gornall's been looking at how the team have been preparing to

:14:42. > :14:45.host the big game. Getting ready to welcome the world.

:14:45. > :14:48.Chester-le-Street may be the new kids on the block when it comes to

:14:48. > :14:58.hosting Ashes cricket, but the staff here are determined to leave

:14:58. > :14:58.

:14:58. > :15:01.a lasting impression, and have been putting in some hard graft. We have

:15:01. > :15:11.teams of people checking all the seats in the stadium making sure

:15:11. > :15:14.they are fit for use on Friday. We are expecting the Australian kits

:15:14. > :15:19.to come soon, and they will going to the dressing rooms. We are half

:15:19. > :15:22.a day ahead of where we should be. Of course, a full ground means

:15:22. > :15:25.plenty of mouths to feed. Making sure no-one goes hungry is head

:15:25. > :15:29.chef Mark Bennett, who started planning his menu seven months ago.

:15:29. > :15:34.It is a challenge for the hospitality. We are doing about

:15:34. > :15:39.50,000 on the first day, and then we have the English cricket team

:15:39. > :15:45.who we will give the I P food to. And then Australians get cod and

:15:45. > :15:50.chips! We need every advantage we can get out of them. Then we have

:15:50. > :15:56.about 17,000 public on site, so we have a retail wagons from stir-

:15:56. > :16:04.fries to hog roasts and burgers. It is quite a challenge. So the clock

:16:04. > :16:08.is ticking, but the ground has been gearing up to this. The eyes on the

:16:08. > :16:11.world will be focused on that wicket over there. Tomorrow the

:16:11. > :16:17.players will be here to judge the pitch for themselves. It's

:16:17. > :16:21.undergone some drastic changes in the past 24 hours. Last night the

:16:21. > :16:27.outfield was under water. But the new outfield is doing well, and

:16:27. > :16:33.we're confident that we will cope with it, and we came in this

:16:33. > :16:43.morning to just one or two puddles, so it just shows you how organise

:16:43. > :16:45.

:16:45. > :16:49.we are. To work up to an Ashes Test is unbelievable. We have had a few

:16:49. > :16:52.Test matches, but an Ashes Test is brilliant. The pride is palpable

:16:52. > :16:58.here at Chester-le-Street, and soon their hard work will be put to the

:16:59. > :17:04.Test. It is a very impressive ground.

:17:04. > :17:08.Everyone must be nervous. You have a bit of TV news, is that right?

:17:08. > :17:11.-- team news. Well, England - like Australia - arrived in the north-

:17:11. > :17:14.east today, fresh from that washout at Old Trafford in Manchester. And

:17:14. > :17:17.for spin bowler Graeme Swann, it's a bit like coming home. His father,

:17:17. > :17:19.Ray, is from Northumberland, and played cricket for the county

:17:19. > :17:22.before moving to the Midlands, where Graeme was born. That

:17:22. > :17:25.explains why the spinner is a Newcastle United fan. And this

:17:25. > :17:28.afternoon he was in Durham to promote the cancer charity, set up

:17:28. > :17:30.by former Magpies' boss, Sir Bobby Robson. Graeme is offering a

:17:30. > :17:37.private coaching session as part of Sir Bobby's Breakthrough Auction.

:17:37. > :17:43.And he says he feels like he's come home.

:17:43. > :17:48.I do, yes. My family are all from here. It still feels like home when

:17:48. > :17:53.I come back here. Hundreds of people coming out of the woodwork

:17:53. > :17:58.for the game, so it is great to be home. This has been a first-class

:17:58. > :18:02.ground for 15 or 16 years, so to get a nasty -- Ashes Test match so

:18:02. > :18:08.quickly is brilliant. It has always been thriving up here, and for

:18:08. > :18:14.Durham to have such success in a short time, it is great that has

:18:14. > :18:17.been recognised. And it's Graeme Swann's county side,

:18:17. > :18:20.Northants, who stand between Durham and a place at T20 Finals' Day. The

:18:20. > :18:22.quarter-final tie at Northampton starts just after seven o'clock.

:18:22. > :18:29.There's commentary on the BBC cricket website, and on 5 Live

:18:29. > :18:32.Sports Extra, and we'll have the result on our late news bulletin.

:18:32. > :18:35.From cricket to football, and the games are coming thick and fast.

:18:35. > :18:38.Tonight's it's the first round of the Capital One League Cup, and

:18:38. > :18:41.Middlesbrough are breaking new ground. Tony Mowbray's side are at

:18:41. > :18:43.home to Accrington Stanley - the first time the clubs have met in

:18:43. > :18:46.any form of competition. Saturday's home defeat by Leicester underlined

:18:46. > :18:56.Boro's need for more new signings, but how many does Mowbray think

:18:56. > :19:01.

:19:01. > :19:08.they need? I am wary of putting a number on it,

:19:08. > :19:12.but... The team are very supportive, it is not me putting pressure on

:19:12. > :19:16.everyone, we do need signings. Everyone is working hard to make

:19:16. > :19:23.that happen. We have a few targets we are shooting at, and I am sure

:19:23. > :19:26.some of them will drop in for us in the next week or so. There will be

:19:26. > :19:28.commentary from the Riverside, as usual, on BBC Tees, where you can

:19:28. > :19:31.also follow Hartlepool United's trip to Nottingham Forest. BBC

:19:31. > :19:39.Radio York will have coverage of the Minstermen at home to Burnley.

:19:39. > :19:46.Carlisle play Blackburn tomorrow, in case you're wondering. Newcastle

:19:46. > :19:51.have confirmed the signing of a striker, after their match with

:19:51. > :19:53.Glasgow Rangers. Well, it's never going to overtake football in our

:19:53. > :19:56.region, but it seems hockey is growing in popularity among some of

:19:56. > :19:59.our youngsters. To try to keep the momentum going, a top international

:19:59. > :20:02.goalkeeper has flown up to offer some coaching tips. As Damian

:20:02. > :20:05.O'Neil found out, hockey is not just for the ladies.

:20:05. > :20:08.It has a reputation as a genteel sport played at boarding schools

:20:08. > :20:13.for girls, but that's not how the goalkeeper sees it when the ball's

:20:13. > :20:17.heading towards his face at 80mph. Former England GB keeper Simon

:20:17. > :20:20.Mason is here to impart some of his wisdom on the girls and boys who

:20:35. > :20:39.Whitley Bay keeper Blair Fotheringham has lost a front tooth

:20:39. > :20:42.to hockey and admits it takes a while to get used to the speed of

:20:42. > :20:45.the game. I am not going to live. When I first started playing in

:20:45. > :20:50.goal, it was scary with the ball coming at 80 miles an hour to watch

:20:50. > :20:58.your head. You need to train yourself out of it, and it is good

:20:58. > :21:03.fun. Do you consider yourself to be posh? No, not really!Isn't it a

:21:03. > :21:07.posh girls' game? I do not think it is. Traditionally it probably was

:21:07. > :21:10.seen as a private girls' school game. But more and more boys are

:21:10. > :21:20.getting involved, especially with the Olympics in 2012, more people

:21:20. > :21:27.are getting an idea of the sport. Damian did not have a go because it

:21:27. > :21:29.is too rough for him! Now, it's billed as "the world's greatest

:21:29. > :21:32.classical music festival." For eight weeks, every summer, the

:21:32. > :21:36.Royal Albert Hall in London plays host to the Henry Wood Promenade

:21:36. > :21:39.Concerts, better known as the BBC Proms.

:21:39. > :21:41.This year, though, there's a new element to the programme. And it

:21:41. > :21:44.involves a singer and guitarist from Sunderland, playing with a

:21:44. > :21:47.band you wouldn't normally associate with the pomp and

:21:47. > :21:57.ceremony of one of Britain's great, traditional occasions.

:22:15. > :22:19.If you think this is what the Proms He's been all over the world in his

:22:19. > :22:23.13 years as the front man for The Stranglers, but Baz Warne still has

:22:23. > :22:26.a base back home on Wearside. So it seemed natural to head off down to

:22:26. > :22:32.the beach for a chat, and to ask what he thought, when one of our

:22:32. > :22:37.oldest punk bands was invited to play at the Proms. I cannot really

:22:37. > :22:43.tell you what my reaction was because this is teatime television!

:22:43. > :22:50.But I was very surprised, pleasantly so. Then it was, how do

:22:50. > :22:54.we approach this, what will it be about? I think they just wanted a

:22:54. > :23:01.classic or old-style British band. A band who have been around a long

:23:01. > :23:07.time and have had a lot of hits. It was as much as the a surprise to us

:23:07. > :23:12.as it was to other people. Top hat and tails? We have talked about

:23:13. > :23:18.dress codes, but as to what we are going to wear on the day, we will

:23:18. > :23:27.probably just do believe the return where a leather jackets, that's

:23:28. > :23:37.what we have always done. -- we will probably just go down the

:23:37. > :23:42.lazier route. There are various other people and a huge big

:23:42. > :23:46.orchestra. So I am really looking forward to it. Now that his

:23:46. > :23:52.imminent. I have not thought about it for a while, but now that is on

:23:52. > :23:56.the doorstep. Next year the Strangler celebrate 40 years in the

:23:56. > :24:00.business, so how long can the a go on? I am philosophical about it.

:24:00. > :24:07.Nothing lasts forever. I saw some of the stones to teach from

:24:40. > :24:50.pictures to start us off. Did you catch the sun set last night across

:25:27. > :25:30.red sky at night. Thank you to some Campbell. There will be spells of

:25:30. > :25:34.sunshine after of yesterday's downpours. Through this evening and

:25:34. > :25:39.overnight, it stays dry across the region, and we're expecting a bit

:25:39. > :25:47.of late sunshine and clear spells after dark. Those clearing skies

:25:54. > :25:59.It will be fresher than it has been for the last few nights, high
