:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In the headlines tonight —
:00:09. > :00:13.It's Poyet for Sunderland. Can the sixth man at the top in five
:00:13. > :00:15.years save the Black Cats from the drop?
:00:15. > :00:19.He survived a horror crash because he overslept. Now he plans a
:00:19. > :00:29.memorial to the two friends who died that day. I am not lucky in a way as
:00:29. > :00:33.I have lost two friends, but I am lucky that I was not there. I am
:00:33. > :00:37.happy that I was not there, but I am not happy.
:00:37. > :00:40.You're never too young to learn about money. Financial lessons for
:00:40. > :00:43.children, who can then teach their parents!
:00:43. > :00:45.And Sting in the tale. The Wallsend—born singer takes his story
:00:45. > :01:03.of the shipyards to New York. Sunderland Football Club unveiled
:01:03. > :01:06.their new Head Coach today. And it's the man who was instantly the
:01:06. > :01:10.bookmakers' favourite when the previous boss, Paolo Di Canio, was
:01:10. > :01:13.sacked just over two weeks ago. Gus Poyet, a 45—year—old Uruguayan who
:01:13. > :01:17.played for Chelsea and Tottenham has been given the task of lifting the
:01:17. > :01:21.team off the bottom of the table and keeping them in the Premier League.
:01:21. > :01:24.Mark Tulip is at the Stadium of Light for us now. Mark, if so many
:01:24. > :01:34.people expected this appointment, why's it taken so long? That is a
:01:34. > :01:37.question I put to him. He acknowledged it was a massive
:01:37. > :01:42.decision for the owner and one he wanted to take his time to get
:01:42. > :01:47.right. This afternoon, he was charming and charismatic and says he
:01:47. > :01:52.lives and breathes football. Sounds familiar? Even his CV is to Paulo Di
:01:53. > :01:58.Canio. He says he should not be compared to anyone else, though. I
:01:58. > :02:09.am confident. I am a positive person. It is too easy to talk now,
:02:09. > :02:15.I want to prove it, to show you. I hope I will be sitting here
:02:15. > :02:21.smiling, which is good news, and I will and sure I can do this at this
:02:21. > :02:29.level. For all of the similarities with pop Paulo Di Canio's CV, he was
:02:29. > :02:35.keen to stress... With the summer signings, he wants to prove his
:02:35. > :02:43.language is... I've been trying other languages today. Especially
:02:43. > :02:47.with the ones that do not speak fluent English yet. Sometimes it is
:02:47. > :02:53.easier for them, but I want the information to get there quickly, I
:02:53. > :03:02.don't want any misunderstandings. I have been trying my other languages
:03:02. > :03:07.and it is true we will intensify that, the possibility of them
:03:07. > :03:12.speaking in English. We have been looking at Gus Poyet's coaching
:03:12. > :03:16.credentials and gaining —— gauging reaction.
:03:16. > :03:20.Some big names have come and gone. Yet today's announcement will have
:03:20. > :03:24.surprised no—one. Sunderland's sixth manager in five years was the name
:03:24. > :03:35.fans were primed to expect from the off. He plays good football. He did
:03:35. > :03:43.well with Brighton. He was a great coach and player. Plays some good
:03:43. > :03:47.football. Optimistic. Same as well Paulo Di Canio was appointed. Just
:03:48. > :03:55.another manager. I don't think it is very good, I think you will do the
:03:55. > :03:59.same job as Paulo Di Canio. After a stellar playing career, Gus Poyet
:03:59. > :04:02.set out as a coach alongside Dennis Wise briefly at Swindon and then a
:04:02. > :04:05.year at Leeds, who were relegated, his former club Spurs appointed him
:04:05. > :04:09.as assistant to Juande Ramos before his first solo managerial
:04:10. > :04:12.appointment at Brighton. The Seagulls were promoted and Poyet
:04:12. > :04:18.established them as one of the Championship's more attractive
:04:18. > :04:24.teams. Before it all ended in acrimony last summer.
:04:24. > :04:31.As a manager, getting the information that has been released
:04:31. > :04:40.by the BBC, information that has been released
:04:40. > :04:45.crack at the top flight and he inherits a Sunderland team in flux.
:04:45. > :04:51.Paulo Di Canio brought in 14 new players, now what he has to do is
:04:51. > :04:55.hopefully select what he thinks is the best 11, get a formation, get
:04:55. > :05:01.them getting —— playing good football and getting points on the
:05:01. > :05:08.board. Hopefully, he'll be able to create a site that can do well.
:05:08. > :05:11.Let's see if they can pick up from their and move forward. One point
:05:11. > :05:14.out of seven games is relegation stuff. Staving off relegation,
:05:14. > :05:25.tellingly the same bottom line the last two managers inherited.
:05:25. > :05:31.The wind of change is blowing through Wearside quite literally
:05:31. > :05:42.this morning. One man who has had as long day as Gus is the editor of a
:05:42. > :05:47.fanzine. Martin, he is prof 's —— promising attractive football. At
:05:47. > :05:51.both of those things possible? I hope so. I have watched Brighton
:05:51. > :05:55.quite a few times and it is possession football, playing it from
:05:55. > :05:59.the back and keeping the ball. He has the theory that if the other
:05:59. > :06:03.team has the —— doesn't have the ball, they can't hurt you.
:06:03. > :06:15.Hopefully, he can bring that to Sunderland. Decided to go a
:06:15. > :06:23.continental structure. obviously, I think the breakdown in Laois and
:06:23. > :06:27.ship was one of the... Halladay can use wanting players... —— Paolo
:06:27. > :06:41.cameo. I think it was the first option.
:06:41. > :06:45.Really hoping they can work together successfully. We cannot do anything
:06:45. > :06:51.about bringing new into —— in until January so Poyet needs to use who
:06:51. > :06:57.were already here playing well. A brief word about Kevin Ball, is he
:06:57. > :07:01.relieved? It is difficult to speak for him. I think we are very
:07:01. > :07:05.thankful for the job he has done, stabilising the club over the last
:07:05. > :07:13.couple of weeks. Eventually, he will be a manager of a football club
:07:13. > :07:14.that... Thank you. Get some rest. We'll be back here later in the
:07:14. > :07:23.programme. Cleveland police are continuing to
:07:23. > :07:27.study CCTV pictures of a disturbance at a Middlesbrough pub at the
:07:27. > :07:32.weekend, which may have resulted in the death of a 23—year—old father of
:07:32. > :07:35.a new—born baby. Benji Bolsenbroeke died following what's been described
:07:35. > :07:40.as "a large—scale disturbance" at the Park Hotel on Linthorpe Road.
:07:40. > :07:44.He'd been celebrating with friends, after becoming a father for the
:07:44. > :07:47.first time. He later went to his mother's house saying he felt
:07:47. > :07:52.unwell. He died in hospital shortly afterwards.
:07:52. > :07:56.A man has described how he missed being in a fatal car crash, because
:07:56. > :07:59.he overslept. As usual, Ricky Holt was due to share a car to work with
:07:59. > :08:03.friends last Wednesday morning, but his alarm didn't go off. Jamie
:08:03. > :08:07.Edmondson and Todd Ridley died in the crash at Crosby Villa near
:08:07. > :08:10.Maryport in Cumbria. Alison Freeman reports.
:08:10. > :08:13.Whilst Ricky Holt was being celebrated on the back pages for his
:08:13. > :08:20.sporting success, his friends' faces were on the front of the local paper
:08:20. > :08:23.after their deatha in a car crash. A crash that Ricky would almost
:08:23. > :08:32.certainly have been involved in, if his alarm had gone off as usual last
:08:32. > :08:37.Wednesday. If someone said to you, don't go to work one day in the
:08:37. > :08:39.month and you would survive that one day, you would never believe it,
:08:39. > :08:43.would you? Every morning, the promising rugby player caught a lift
:08:43. > :08:46.to work in Jamie Edmonson's car from Maryport. They, along with Todd
:08:46. > :08:50.Ridley, worked at a factory in Carlisle. Jamie and Todd died when
:08:50. > :09:01.their car crashed head on with another car in Crosby Villa. I feel
:09:01. > :09:05.that guilty because at the end of the day I should have been there.
:09:05. > :09:09.I'm not lucky in a way as I have lost two friends, but I am lucky
:09:09. > :09:15.that I was not there. I am happy that I not there. But I'm not happy
:09:15. > :09:19.right now, in person. When his friends and family heard the news of
:09:19. > :09:23.the crash, they assumed Ricky was one of the dead. The 20—year—old
:09:23. > :09:26.will become a dad for the first time in two months' time. He's never
:09:26. > :09:31.missed a day of work since he started at the factory. I will be
:09:31. > :09:39.grateful that I am here, I will be the best I can be, I'm going to live
:09:39. > :09:46.life to the full. I'm going to try and be strong and make Janey and
:09:46. > :09:50.Todd proud. —— Janey. Ricky hopes he can create a memorial to his two
:09:50. > :09:54.friends in Maryport, so others can remember them.
:09:54. > :09:57.The Newcastle—born scientist Peter Higgs has won the Nobel Prize for
:09:57. > :10:01.Physics. The 84—year—old said he was "overwhelmed" to receive the award.
:10:01. > :10:03.40 years ago, Professor Higgs proposed the existence of a
:10:03. > :10:08.sub—atomic particle called the Higgs Boson or "God particle". Just last
:10:08. > :10:14.year, it was finally confirmed that his theoretical particle did exist.
:10:14. > :10:17.Anyone who's ever visited the North York Moors and struggled for a
:10:17. > :10:21.mobile phone signal won't be surprised to learn the area has some
:10:21. > :10:24.of the worst coverage in the country. But a Government subsidy
:10:24. > :10:28.for 18 new mobile phone masts in the national park is set to bring the
:10:28. > :10:31.Moors into the 21st century, which some people will no doubt think is
:10:31. > :10:41.rather a shame! Phil Connell reports. These may be idyllic, but
:10:41. > :10:44.using a mobile phone can be frustrating.
:10:44. > :10:48.The North York Moors is one of the worst reception areas in the
:10:48. > :10:52.country. A black spot that is affecting increasing numbers of
:10:52. > :10:56.people including many rural businesses. It means you have to go
:10:56. > :11:01.to the top of the village and hold your phone up high and then try and
:11:01. > :11:06.talk into it. It is frustrating. Friends who have been used to
:11:06. > :11:13.sending texts continue and wonder why they don't get an answer. In a
:11:13. > :11:19.race to improve telecommunications, rural areas have been largely
:11:19. > :11:24.overlooked. Now a Government scheme could bring this isolated area into
:11:24. > :11:29.the 21st—century. Backed by the local park authority, plans to build
:11:29. > :11:34.18 new phone masts are being considered. Masts that will be sited
:11:35. > :11:39.all over the North York Moors. It will make the communities feel part
:11:39. > :11:43.of a wider world, much more than they do now. It will mean they can
:11:43. > :11:48.talk to their friends and relatives and it means they can have better
:11:48. > :11:58.contact any emergency and that businesses can function better. It
:11:58. > :12:00.means they can live in a rural area and be part of the modern world. For
:12:00. > :12:03.some, no signal remains a blessing. The owner of this teashop says most
:12:03. > :12:11.come here for peace and tranquillity. People that come here
:12:11. > :12:16.are here for a lovely time. Just a restful time. A peaceful time. I
:12:16. > :12:22.don't think they really want to sit in a key room and listen to somebody
:12:22. > :12:28.else's conversation on a mobile phone. The park authority says there
:12:28. > :12:35.will be minimal impact on the landscape. In proving communications
:12:35. > :12:40.it is hoped by this time next year. Sometimes it is nice to escape from
:12:40. > :12:43.the phone, isn't it? You're watching Look North. Still to
:12:43. > :12:46.come, we hear the thoughts of cricketer Steve Harmison on his
:12:46. > :12:49.impending retirement. Plus — Sting's 'Last Ship' sails into New York. We
:12:49. > :12:56.hear from the Wallsend superstar about the concert that commemorates
:12:56. > :13:00.Tyneside's shipbuilding past. As the wind speak up and the temperatures
:13:00. > :13:02.drop, it will feel much colder over the next few days. Join me for the
:13:02. > :13:13.full forecast. Seven—year—olds in Yorkshire are the
:13:13. > :13:16.weakest readers in the country, according to figures from the
:13:16. > :13:19.charity "Save the Children." 14% of seven—year—olds in the county are
:13:19. > :13:22.failing to reach the Government's target reading level and that could
:13:22. > :13:26.mean they struggle to find a job a decade from now. A report from the
:13:26. > :13:32.charity says more needs to be done to boost reading in primary schools.
:13:32. > :13:36.It is such an important determinant of how well you will do later in
:13:36. > :13:42.life. Your chances of going on to get a good batch of GCSEs, to then
:13:42. > :13:47.go on and do well in the labour market and a life more generally, it
:13:47. > :13:50.is significantly affected about how well you are doing at the age of
:13:50. > :13:53.seven. But there's better news from a primary school in Redcar, where
:13:53. > :13:56.pupils are learning financial literacy. Children at Lakes Primary
:13:56. > :13:59.are being taught all about personal finance, as part of their
:13:59. > :14:02.curriculum. And with their new—found skills, they may be able to advise
:14:02. > :14:10.Mum and Dad too! Phil Chapman reports.
:14:10. > :14:14.Like most younger children, many pupils here probably measure money
:14:14. > :14:19.in the amount of sweets they can buy or how much to save up towards their
:14:19. > :14:22.next computer game. Today's money extravaganza is part of their
:14:22. > :14:29.journey in finding out how to spend in the big wide world. We teach them
:14:29. > :14:33.about saving money, about taxes and about finding a balance. We teach
:14:33. > :14:38.about credit and debit and investing and interest and all sorts of
:14:38. > :14:43.things. We try to make them financially resilient so when they
:14:43. > :14:47.go into the big wide world, they are prepared. How does the next
:14:47. > :14:55.generation treat their money? We can save up for residents for our mum. "
:14:55. > :15:02.it in the bank. You can save up for big things that you really want it.
:15:02. > :15:09.Every time I get pocket money, I save it in a box and when I have
:15:09. > :15:16.lot, I can buy things that I need instead of spending it all at once.
:15:16. > :15:29.If you didn't have money, you couldn't live, you need food and
:15:29. > :15:33.drink and water. And the TV. We are thrilled with the primary school
:15:33. > :15:40.working with us to become a centre of excellence. It means that they
:15:40. > :15:45.are a leading financial education in the curriculum and then working in
:15:45. > :15:50.the local area. It is a true community project. We used to for ——
:15:50. > :15:55.find it easier to watch the pennies, but with programmes like this it is
:15:55. > :16:03.hoped that the next generation, it should be child's play.
:16:03. > :16:07.Maybe they could save up for a trip to America.
:16:07. > :16:11.In New York, this week, Sting is performing his new album, The Last
:16:11. > :16:15.Ship, his first in nearly a decade. The songs are inspired by his early
:16:15. > :16:17.years growing up in the shadow of the Swan Hunter shipyard in
:16:17. > :16:20.Wallsend. And, for the one—off series of concerts, he's flown over
:16:21. > :16:23.a host of fellow North East musicians, from Jimmy Nail to
:16:23. > :16:42.Kathryn Tickell. Here's tonight's Look North report.
:16:42. > :16:49.I come from a shipyard town in the North of England, the North East of
:16:49. > :16:55.England, quite near the Scottish border. In my town, we built the
:16:55. > :17:15.biggest vessels probably ever made in the history of the world.
:17:15. > :17:26.# And the last ship sails. How long did it take you to say yes?
:17:26. > :17:29.Instantly. You couldn't have stopped me. If you tried not to have me, I
:17:29. > :17:46.would have been banging on the door. I remember coming out of school in
:17:46. > :17:53.North Shields and watching a ship, over the River and you think of that
:17:53. > :17:58.and seeing the crane at Wallsend, you think of that and then you are
:17:59. > :18:07.performing this music and being part of it and hearing those words. Heard
:18:07. > :18:11.by thousands of people, it is making the emotional just thinking about
:18:11. > :18:18.it. Also, when we were rehearsing it, I looked over at Jimmy and Jimmy
:18:18. > :18:25.Nail says how lucky... It is really powerful. Standing up on a stage in
:18:26. > :18:37.New York and singing about Newcastle, I feel moved. Were from
:18:37. > :18:45.Billingham and we are performing with Sting in New York. They
:18:45. > :18:51.probably won't understand it the first night. By the end of the
:18:51. > :18:54.performances, they will know where the north—east of England is, they
:18:54. > :18:56.will know where the songs come from and where we come from and it is
:18:56. > :19:07.great. And important part of the DNA of
:19:07. > :19:12.this piece is going to the theatre on the quayside, the first workshop
:19:12. > :19:17.we did was there with local actors. It was important to begin their and
:19:17. > :19:22.really what I would like to do is take it back there eventually and
:19:22. > :19:31.say, this is what we have done. Take that ship back.
:19:31. > :19:37.Some great songs that. —— songs there.
:19:37. > :19:41.Time for sport now. And there's only one story today: Gus Poyet's arrival
:19:41. > :19:44.at Sunderland. Mark's still there at the Stadium of Light. The question
:19:44. > :19:49.is, Mark, what next for Kevin Ball, who'd been in caretaker charge for
:19:49. > :19:52.the second time? Absolutely. I think everyone has admired the job that
:19:52. > :19:57.Kevin Ball has done as interim head coach. Will he go back to his
:19:58. > :20:01.academy role? Whatever the case, Poyet who says he is bringing his
:20:01. > :20:07.backroom staff will be picking his brains. He doesn't know yet how
:20:07. > :20:11.important he will be for me. The people that have been at the club,
:20:11. > :20:19.they know how it works, they know the players, they know the staff,
:20:19. > :20:25.they know what the fans like. Things that a new manager needs to know. It
:20:25. > :20:33.is clear that you need somebody with the quality of Kevin. I know we were
:20:33. > :20:40.competing for the job, but I think we both believe in the club.
:20:41. > :20:47.We told you over the weekend about the retirement of the Durham and
:20:47. > :20:58.England fast bowler Steve Harmison. I caught up with him earlier what he
:20:58. > :21:10.plans I still want to stay in the game. I feel like I have too much to
:21:10. > :21:21.offer not to stay in in the game. The test match at Durham was...
:21:21. > :21:24.There is a possibility of trying to at Chester—le—Street. I want to
:21:24. > :21:29.bring people into make sure that other for the Siebel feature, it is
:21:29. > :21:37.strong off the field because I think on the field Durham are in a great
:21:37. > :21:41.place. I will be back in the less windy Look North Studios later on
:21:41. > :21:50.with the latest news for more on Sunderland's fifth manager in six
:21:50. > :21:52.years. It's one of the region's
:21:52. > :21:55.least—visited and, arguably, least—appreciated natural treasures.
:21:55. > :21:59.Cumbria's Solway Coast is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home
:21:59. > :22:02.to rare wildlife. Now it has a new visitor centre, the centrepiece of a
:22:02. > :22:08.£2 million National Lottery project, which was opened by broadcaster Eric
:22:08. > :22:10.Robson. Graham Moss paid a visit. The wetlands of the Solway Coast.
:22:11. > :22:14.Flat, frequently extremely windswept and a precious natural habitat, but
:22:14. > :22:21.perhaps not as widely visited or appreciated as they should be. But
:22:21. > :22:24.with a new visitor centre in a renovated Victorian barn near
:22:24. > :22:35.Bowness on Solway, that could be set to change. We have an education room
:22:35. > :22:39.here, we have staff space and the all—important toilets. It will
:22:39. > :22:44.provide a centre for people to come, find out more about the Solway
:22:44. > :22:50.plain and the fabulous natural heritage that exists here. 20
:22:50. > :22:55.minutes from Carlisle, but it is a different world. And yes that is
:22:55. > :23:01.Scotland over there. I go back a long way here. I was brought up I
:23:01. > :23:06.might, we would come down to the coast here and we used to think it
:23:06. > :23:15.was the marshes on the end of the world. We would have picnics. This
:23:15. > :23:21.centre that I have been opening today is going to help to interpret
:23:21. > :23:26.this marvellous wetland landscape. We have a wetland paradise. Come and
:23:26. > :23:29.visit and see what we have. With the wetlands centre as a focal point,
:23:29. > :23:31.it's hoped this will to a wider appreciation of just what the Solway
:23:31. > :23:41.Coast has to offer. Looks fabulous, doesn't it?
:23:41. > :23:44.The source of the River North Tyne has been identified for the starting
:23:44. > :23:48.point of a new, long—distance path that'll be a fundraiser for North
:23:48. > :23:51.East cancer charity Daft As A Brush. Today, two giant stones, each four
:23:51. > :23:55.metres high and weighing five tonnes were airlifted to Deadwater Farm,
:23:55. > :23:58.north of Kielder village. They're landmark sculptures at the source of
:23:58. > :24:10.the river and the beginning of the new trail, all the way down the
:24:10. > :24:12.river to Tynemouth. Which would be a nice thing to do on a fine day like
:24:12. > :24:25.today. The October weather can bring a real
:24:25. > :24:34.mixture of conditions. We have a mixture tonight. A lovely, foggy
:24:34. > :24:41.Saturday morning at Middlesbrough's. The following day
:24:41. > :24:45.was a lovely, sunny Sunday. The Cleveland Police horses out enjoying
:24:45. > :24:50.their day of rest. By the end of the week, those police horses may have
:24:50. > :24:55.their coats on as things are set to turn colder and windier. Some places
:24:55. > :25:00.will have more than their fair share of showers over the next few days.
:25:00. > :25:05.We ended the day on a dry note. As we head through the evening, they'll
:25:05. > :25:08.be a lot of cloud around which will produce the odd shower. There will
:25:08. > :25:13.be gaps in between those clouds and we could see temperatures dip into
:25:13. > :25:18.single figures, despite the breeze that will freshen up anything. We
:25:18. > :25:22.will see lows at outlying areas down to eight Celsius, mid—40s
:25:22. > :25:30.Fahrenheit. Tomorrow, well, the morning is a mixture. Quite a lot of
:25:30. > :25:33.showers coming from the westerly direction. They will spread
:25:33. > :25:39.eastwards and then many will die away as we go into the afternoon.
:25:39. > :25:44.The showers return to that north east coast, tail end of the day, and
:25:44. > :25:49.that North East coast will feel raw tomorrow. You can see a big change
:25:50. > :25:54.in the temperatures. 12 Celsius will be typical tomorrow. Add in the
:25:54. > :25:57.strength in north—westerly and northerly wind and it will feel
:25:57. > :26:02.quite cold, especially along the coast. Some rough sea conditions by
:26:02. > :26:08.the end of tomorrow, especially around the time of high tide, around
:26:08. > :26:28.6pm. The best of the conditions, it will be gusty, but there will bring
:26:28. > :26:30.those gusty northerly winds. For the next few days, the high—pressure
:26:30. > :26:33.spills over and the winds begin to use. It will generally stay on the
:26:33. > :26:37.cool side as we head towards the tail end of the week. For Cumbria,
:26:37. > :26:42.dry weather. Some autumn sunshine. It won't feel particularly warm,
:26:42. > :26:48.temperatures at the tail end of the week making 14 Celsius at best. It
:26:48. > :26:51.will feel cooler in the north—easterly wind. In the
:26:51. > :26:55.north—east, it will be stronger in eastern areas and there will be more
:26:55. > :27:01.cloud coming in off the North Sea, as well. Sunshine at a premium. It
:27:01. > :27:06.will be every bit as cold as it was in the West and feeling colder still
:27:06. > :27:10.in that gusty, north—easterly wind. Feeling a lot more like autumn as we
:27:10. > :27:18.go through the next few days. You can keep up to date with the
:27:18. > :27:27.forecast using the free weather app. Before we go. Let's have a look at
:27:27. > :27:30.headlines. The Nobel Prize for Physics has gone to Newcastle—born
:27:30. > :27:31.scientist Professor Peter Higgs and a fellow collaborator in particle
:27:31. > :27:34.physics. And Gus Poyet has been appointed as
:27:34. > :27:40.Sunderland Football Club's new manager. Hope you can join us
:27:40. > :27:42.tonight at 10:25pm.
