:00:59. > :01:04.It's two days since three year old Danny Wake was killed in a hit and
:01:05. > :01:07.run incident. Today, police sent this message to the driver of the
:01:08. > :01:12.car that killed him: "You know what you did." Danny died after he was
:01:13. > :01:17.struck in Darlington. The moments leading up to that collision were
:01:18. > :01:20.filmed on CCTV. A local man had been arrested on suspicion of causing
:01:21. > :01:23.death by dangerous driving. Last night police released him without
:01:24. > :01:29.charge. Our reporter Alison Freeman has been following the story.
:01:30. > :01:31.They were on their way home to start choosing Christmas presents.
:01:32. > :01:35.Three`year`old Danny Wake, seen here in the green jacket, was going to
:01:36. > :01:38.pick out what he wanted from a catalogue they'd collected together
:01:39. > :01:52.in town. Moments later he was hit by a car
:01:53. > :01:59.and died. That is tragic. They will probably not have a Christmas. We
:02:00. > :02:03.need people to come forward and tell us exactly what happened.
:02:04. > :02:07.Danny, his mum, and brother Georgie had walked back from Darlington town
:02:08. > :02:10.centre along Neasham Road. But when they turned into Falmer Road, Danny
:02:11. > :02:12.somehow strayed away from his mother and into the path of the oncoming
:02:13. > :02:16.vehicle. The person driving did not stop.
:02:17. > :02:20.Police have spoken to a vast number of people and are combing hundreds
:02:21. > :02:23.of hours of CCTV footage. But they still want to trace anyone else who
:02:24. > :02:26.saw anything suspicious. In particular passengers on two
:02:27. > :02:38.Arriva buses passing along Neasham Road at the time. I ask those
:02:39. > :02:43.individuals on that bus to come forward and tell us what they saw. I
:02:44. > :02:52.also feel to the person who was driving the vehicle that morning. ``
:02:53. > :02:57.I also appealed to the person. It is important you tell us what happened
:02:58. > :03:03.so the family can understand what happened that morning. Officers
:03:04. > :03:07.investigating the crash arrested a 24`year`old local man on Monday
:03:08. > :03:10.afternoon and a car was taken from a nearby street to be examined, hours
:03:11. > :03:12.after the accident. The man cooperated fully and has since been
:03:13. > :03:15.released without charge. Police say they now want people in
:03:16. > :03:19.this close`knit community to think hard about what they saw that day to
:03:20. > :03:28.help find the driver of that vehicle.
:03:29. > :03:31.Alison's with me now. So, from what the police are saying there's no
:03:32. > :03:39.chance the driver did not know what happened?
:03:40. > :03:43.At a press conference they said the driver would know what happened.
:03:44. > :03:57.They did say it was an accident but said he should come forward. The
:03:58. > :03:59.crash happened on Monday morning. Durham police seek every piece of
:04:00. > :04:08.information could prove vital. 41 babies, who were treated in a
:04:09. > :04:13.Sunderland hospital neo`natal unit, have been called back to be tested
:04:14. > :04:16.for tuberculosis. The infants were in the Sunderland Royal Hospital
:04:17. > :04:23.unit between May one and August seven this year. Dedicated clinics
:04:24. > :04:26.have been set up for the babies to be assessed and tests will be
:04:27. > :04:29.carried out next week. Obviously a great concern for the
:04:30. > :04:33.parents of those babies. Earlier, the Health Trust's Medical Director,
:04:34. > :04:39.Ian Martin joined me in the studio. I asked him how rare an incident
:04:40. > :04:47.like this is. It is a rare condition. On average
:04:48. > :04:55.in Sunderland we get 12 admissions per year. It is not common. It is
:04:56. > :05:04.not easy to pass that infection on either. If anybody did get it the
:05:05. > :05:14.treatment is simple. It is antibiotics for a few weeks.
:05:15. > :05:27.Babies are vulnerable. There are age makes them vulnerable parents are
:05:28. > :05:33.concerned. We have put in place a helpline. There are a dedicated team
:05:34. > :05:37.of professionals to answer questions. They have all been
:05:38. > :05:41.offered an appointment with a consultant if they want to talk
:05:42. > :05:45.about it in more detail. We understand their concern. We are
:05:46. > :05:50.sorry it has happened to them. It is one of those things. There is
:05:51. > :05:59.nothing that could have been done to prevent it. I fully understand they
:06:00. > :06:04.will be concerned. The chance of any baby being infected is remote. If
:06:05. > :06:13.that happens to cover the treatment is simple. We do not expect any baby
:06:14. > :06:16.to come to harm as a consequence. As Mr Martin said, the Trust has set
:06:17. > :06:27.up a helpline for concerned parents to call. It's open between 8am and
:06:28. > :06:30.8pm daily on 07810 637 810. People in a County Durham village
:06:31. > :06:36.say closing their local school would rip the heart out of their

:06:39. > :06:41.College and Sixth Form in Pelton near Chester`le`Street because of
:06:42. > :06:44.low pupil numbers. But campaigners say even though some students could
:06:45. > :06:47.be transferred to a brand new academy, children's education will
:06:48. > :06:54.be damaged in the upheaval. Here's our Political Correspondent Mark

:07:17. > :07:29.low pupil numbers. `` because a low birth rate. It is the beating heart
:07:30. > :07:39.of the community. Generations have been educated here. That is why this

:07:53. > :07:54.While Durham County Council has not said where the children would go of
:07:55. > :08:02.that school close, parents are convinced they would end up here.
:08:03. > :08:10.Parents are worried that the upheaval could damage the education
:08:11. > :08:16.of their children. At the moment we live two minutes away from the
:08:17. > :08:22.school. But the other school might be to bus journeys away.
:08:23. > :08:25.Durham County Council emphasises that no decisions have been made
:08:26. > :08:28.yet, but with a significantly falling roll the school's
:08:29. > :08:31.sustainability has to be questioned. Mark Denten, BBC Look North, Pelton,
:08:32. > :08:34.County Durham. It was a reasonably busy bonfire
:08:35. > :08:38.night for fire crews across the North East and Cumbria. Thousands of
:08:39. > :08:43.people chose to go to organised displays like this one in Stockton
:08:44. > :08:46.last night. But one brigade, the Tyne and Wear Fire service, attended
:08:47. > :08:52.more than 400 incidents ` mainly bonfires. The crew of Blue Watch at
:08:53. > :08:57.Byker Fire Station in Newcastle got called to a range of incidents.
:08:58. > :09:01.It's a dilemma facing many councils. Charges for car parking bring in
:09:02. > :09:04.much needed revenue ` but do they drive shoppers away which could then
:09:05. > :09:07.lead to shop closures and ultimately the loss of business rates? In
:09:08. > :09:11.Middlesbrough you can now park for free for the first two hours. But in
:09:12. > :09:14.Cumbria shop owners are angry over consultation plans to abolish some
:09:15. > :09:21.free parking zones and introduce charges.
:09:22. > :09:23.Traders are warning it could force them out of business.
:09:24. > :09:27.The County Council has to make savings of ?24 million, but it says

:09:42. > :09:47.Neither is a new threat to their livelihood. Car parking is one of
:09:48. > :09:53.the principal reasons that high streets decline. For the County
:09:54. > :09:56.Council to proposed a scheme whereby they will charge for parking on the
:09:57. > :09:59.streets of our market towns is the most stupid idea I have heard in
:10:00. > :10:08.ages. It is a broadly similar arrangement
:10:09. > :10:11.here. Display one of these desks and that gives you 30 minutes free
:10:12. > :10:17.parking. There are concerns that this is going to change. It will
:10:18. > :10:22.have a heavy impact. Shoppers would move away. They would go to where
:10:23. > :10:32.they will get free parking. It would hit shops. I did not come into
:10:33. > :10:42.politics to start charging for people that are traditionally the.
:10:43. > :10:56.But we had to recuperate some of the costs. It is not going to encourage
:10:57. > :11:08.shoppers. I have never been in agreement with paying for parking.
:11:09. > :11:11.The consultation runs until the end of January.

:14:11. > :14:20.struggled with his sudden rise to fame. And in the last year has
:14:21. > :14:24.battled anxiety and depression. You constantly feel like you are doing
:14:25. > :14:36.positive things and certain sections of the media want to drag the

:15:41. > :15:42.Not quite fireworks but there was plenty of Bonfire Night
:15:43. > :15:47.entertainment at Brunton Park last night. Carlisle United twice came
:15:48. > :15:51.from behind in League One to earn a well deserved draw against high
:15:52. > :15:54.flying Wolves. After losing three of their last
:15:55. > :15:57.four games Carlisle boss Graham Kavanagh was looking for a response
:15:58. > :16:05.from his players and the bonfire night encounter turned out to be a
:16:06. > :16:08.real cracker. A win for the once mighty Wolves would have seen them
:16:09. > :16:12.move joint top of the League and early on they were on fire as Bakary
:16:13. > :16:17.Sako sent a shot fizzing past Mark Gillespie to take the lead. But the
:16:18. > :16:20.Blues were in no mood to let Kenny Jackett's men have their own way and
:16:21. > :16:24.their new Ghanaian international Prince Buaben scored his first goal
:16:25. > :16:28.for the club with a regal chip to put them back on level terms. But
:16:29. > :16:30.Wanderers went into half time 2`1 up ` Leigh Griffiths' header hitting

:17:49. > :17:52.freshen things up anyway and he'll have one eye on the daunting league
:17:53. > :17:55.game here against Manchester City. But the Uruguayan knows that victory
