:01:08. > :01:17.troubles since he left the boardroom.
:01:18. > :01:23.He was serving his country in Afghanistan but he died not on the
:01:24. > :01:28.battlefield but inside a military base where he thought he was safe.
:01:29. > :01:31.Sapper Richard Walker, from Washington, was killed by a member
:01:32. > :01:36.of the Afghan National Army serving beside him in January. He was not
:01:37. > :01:40.wearing body armour but an inquest today heard protect clothing would
:01:41. > :01:43.not have saved his life. Sapper Richard Walker was 23. A
:01:44. > :01:46.member of 28 Royal Engineers Regiment, his funeral in Washington
:01:47. > :01:52.in January saw large parts of the community come out to pay tribute to
:01:53. > :01:55.him. This was a soldier shot not by insurgents but by a member of the
:01:56. > :01:59.Afghan National Army, inside a secure military base. Today an
:02:00. > :02:09.inquest in Sunderland examined the facts of his death. The inquest
:02:10. > :02:15.heard that suddenly tracer fire lit up the darkness. He had been shot.
:02:16. > :02:19.Crucially, he was not wearing body armour but a Ministry of Defence
:02:20. > :02:24.expert told the inquest that even if he had been wearing body armour,
:02:25. > :02:27.that would not have saved his life. That is because the high velocity
:02:28. > :02:30.round kicking in the shoulder, an area not covered by body armour.
:02:31. > :02:32.Giving evidence to the inquest, Sergeant Jonathan Barton, who was
:02:33. > :02:36.with Sapper Walker that night, said he was definitely hit by the second
:02:37. > :02:39.or third round by the Afghan soldier, who was subsequently shot
:02:40. > :02:43.dead. A Royal Military Police officer told the inquest there had
:02:44. > :02:46.been no perceived threat at the base that night, but Sapper Walker's
:02:47. > :02:49.father Richard, seen here on the right, told the inquest that as a
:02:50. > :02:54.father, he thought any position inside or outside a military base
:02:55. > :03:03.should be seen as a threat area. Sapper Walker's troop commander paid
:03:04. > :03:07.tribute to him. Richard was a professional and dedicated, with a
:03:08. > :03:10.larger`than`life personality. He worked extremely hard and formed
:03:11. > :03:17.close friendships. He is still missed ID troops, his colleagues and
:03:18. > :03:22.his friends. The coroner concluded that Sapper Walker had been
:03:23. > :03:25.unlawfully killed out of service overseas. He said he was satisfied
:03:26. > :03:31.that close to his death and afterwards the Ministry of Defence
:03:32. > :03:35.kept the matter of soldiers' protection including the use of body
:03:36. > :03:41.armour under close review. Can any lessons be learned by this case?
:03:42. > :03:47.Giving evidence today, wing Amanda Li Taylor said the forces clearly
:03:48. > :03:52.need to learn from each and every incident. `` Wing Commander Li
:03:53. > :03:58.Taylor said the forces clearly need to learn from each and every
:03:59. > :04:01.incident. But we also heard much about the difficult balance between
:04:02. > :04:05.protecting troops and letting them do their job. A total body armour
:04:06. > :04:08.kit weighs up to 23kg. For tasks like Trooper Walker and his
:04:09. > :04:11.colleagues were doing, moving a 250kg gate, we were told body armour
:04:12. > :04:13.would severely have affected their movement. Tonight, Sapper Walker's
:04:14. > :04:18.mother, Kathryn, told Look North, "He loved the Army. They were like
:04:19. > :04:22.his family. Richard may be gone," she said, "but I still love and care
:04:23. > :04:26.about all the men and women serving in the Army. I wish we could keep
:04:27. > :04:28.them all safe, but it's a dangerous job. He wasn't the first and he
:04:29. > :04:49.won't be the last." Thank you. 73 jobs are going at a plastics
:04:50. > :04:54.factory in West Cumbria. The company was bought by 8`in 2008 and now says
:04:55. > :04:59.it cannot compete with others in the Far East. Factory owners have been
:05:00. > :05:02.consulting about the plant's future. Demolition work begins tomorrow on
:05:03. > :05:05.part of Stanley town centre after a huge fire badly damaged buildings.
:05:06. > :05:09.Many roads were still cordoned off today and a school was closed as a
:05:10. > :05:13.precaution. Firefighters say they will stay on site to stop the fire
:05:14. > :05:16.reigniting when work starts on the unsafe structure. Alison Freeman
:05:17. > :05:26.reports. The intense heat took its toll on
:05:27. > :05:29.the buildings. It caused the far end to collapse. The fire had started in
:05:30. > :05:33.the kitchen of a Chinese takeaway in Stanley, and rapidly spread, sending
:05:34. > :05:36.flames 30ft high into the air. A neighbouring care home on Front
:05:37. > :05:43.Street and St Joseph's school were evacuated. The flames started to
:05:44. > :05:47.come over the top of our school and when we were standing, we could hear
:05:48. > :05:52.the crackling and see the heat on our faces. The flames became quite
:05:53. > :05:58.scary at one point, and then the buildings started to cave in. It was
:05:59. > :06:02.very scary because there was loads and loads of smoke coming all over,
:06:03. > :06:11.covering everything. Eight fire engines and 40 firefighters battled
:06:12. > :06:14.to control the blaze at its peak. We had large volumes of smoke issuing
:06:15. > :06:18.out under pressure and that was due to the design of the building. The
:06:19. > :06:28.building behind me was all hoarded up. There were shuttered doors on
:06:29. > :06:32.every door except for the Chinese restaurant. It was difficult for the
:06:33. > :06:35.firefighters because it was dense black smoke coming out under
:06:36. > :06:38.pressure, due to the heat building up inside the building. Today
:06:39. > :06:40.firefighters were trying to make this warren of buildings safe.
:06:41. > :06:44.Because these 100`year`old Edwardian buildings are made mainly of stone,
:06:45. > :06:48.they retain the heat, and with the thick smoke hanging in the air, it's
:06:49. > :06:51.going to be a while before the buildings are cool enough for
:06:52. > :06:55.investigators to go in to work out what started the fire. It's down to
:06:56. > :06:59.the building surveyors now to work out when it's safe for people to
:07:00. > :07:05.return to their homes and businesses.
:07:06. > :07:09.North Yorkshire, Cumbria and Northumberland have been named as
:07:10. > :07:15.the three worst counties in England for birds of prey being killed.
:07:16. > :07:18.Animal welfare campaigners say the birds have been shot, poisoned and
:07:19. > :07:22.trapped, making them a rare sight in some parts of the region. Phil
:07:23. > :07:31.Connell has tonight's Look North report.
:07:32. > :07:35.According to the RSPB, these pictures, filmed by covert cameras,
:07:36. > :07:40.show the hidden crimes taking place in our countryside. Here, a
:07:41. > :07:45.gamekeeper from Cumbria is seen using a stick to beat two buzzards
:07:46. > :07:49.to death, which he had trapped in a cage. He was prosecuted through the
:07:50. > :07:55.courts this year and received a suspended jail sentence. It is a
:07:56. > :08:02.rogue element. Most modern gamekeepers are not stupid. They
:08:03. > :08:07.know that there are many better ways of protecting game birds and other
:08:08. > :08:13.creatures than going around knocking off the odd bird of prey. Across
:08:14. > :08:17.your Yorkshire, the North East and Cumbria, there has been a feud tween
:08:18. > :08:25.gamekeepers and animal welfare groups. `` a feud between some
:08:26. > :08:30.gamekeepers and animal welfare groups. In the past, gamekeepers
:08:31. > :08:35.have been frustrated by birds of prey, who they say killed the grouse
:08:36. > :08:38.and pheasants they breed. The RSPB claims that because of art, birds of
:08:39. > :08:43.prey have become targets themselves, with species like is virtually
:08:44. > :08:48.nonexistent in our area. The latest figures show that last year, North
:08:49. > :08:51.Yorkshire was the worst county in England for birds of prey being
:08:52. > :08:56.killed, followed by Cumbria and Northumberland. Across the three
:08:57. > :09:03.counties, there were 35 reported incidents of birds being shot,
:09:04. > :09:08.dropped or poisoned. Just 15 of were confirmed that the RSPB leads it is
:09:09. > :09:17.the tip of the iceberg. The legal traps that trap birds by their feet
:09:18. > :09:25.are one of their worst concerns. `` the illegal traps. Just a black the
:09:26. > :09:32.bird will land on the trot, trigger it. `` the bird of prey will land on
:09:33. > :09:46.the track and trigger it. North Yorkshire Police say they will
:09:47. > :09:52.be watching closely. This is a Victorian attitudes towards birds of
:09:53. > :09:54.prey and gamekeepers, not all of them but just a feud that give
:09:55. > :10:03.everyone a bad name, should just think again. Police say they will
:10:04. > :10:08.actively prosecute anyone caught breaking the law and they said there
:10:09. > :10:12.covert operations mean they are watching closely, even in the moat
:10:13. > :10:16.parts of the countryside. `` remote parts. A new ?90 million
:10:17. > :10:19.hospital for West Cumbria is gradually taking shape on a
:10:20. > :10:21.construction site in Whitehaven. The existing West Cumberland Hospital
:10:22. > :10:24.has faced a series of highly critical reports, with patient
:10:25. > :10:28.concerns about the future of services. But a year from now, the
:10:29. > :10:32.new hospital will be ready for final fitting`out, and today was an
:10:33. > :10:41.opportunity to inspect progress. Graham Moss went for a look.
:10:42. > :10:43.When it was opened in 1964, the West Cumberland Hospital was
:10:44. > :10:49.state`of`the`art. The first others built hospital to be built by the
:10:50. > :10:54.NHS. Half a century on, it no longer meets modern needs, but alongside
:10:55. > :10:57.the existing building, the new hospital is taking shape. The hope
:10:58. > :11:03.is it will signal a new chapter and confidence in health care on the
:11:04. > :11:07.West Coast of Cumbria. It will be a world`class facility and from a
:11:08. > :11:14.clinical point of view, it has all the things that are missing in the
:11:15. > :11:23.existing block together. One of the concerns here in West Cumbria is
:11:24. > :11:26.that although the hospital will be replacing the new, it may not
:11:27. > :11:33.provide all the services currently available. It will have all the
:11:34. > :11:38.facilities with the exception of some very high risk surgery. Those
:11:39. > :11:41.patients will need to go to Carlisle. The rest of the people
:11:42. > :11:46.will receive their care here in the local hospital, including bringing
:11:47. > :11:50.people back to currently have to go elsewhere for orthopaedic
:11:51. > :11:53.operations. The people of West Cumbria will have a hospital fit for
:11:54. > :11:58.purpose and they will fit their needs, what they are going to need
:11:59. > :12:01.in the next few years. Some of the existing hospital will be
:12:02. > :12:06.refurbished, the rest demolished. So plenty of work still to come. The
:12:07. > :12:10.first patient is due to be treated in the new building early in 2015.
:12:11. > :12:13.There's plenty more to come in tonight's Look North. Jeff's here
:12:14. > :12:17.with the sport and our newly crowned Unsung Hero. Find out how your
:12:18. > :12:25.donations to Children In Need are making a difference to these young

:12:39. > :12:42.A man from Durham has become a global hit on Twitter after tweeting

:12:46. > :12:49.condensed every chapter of the Bible into a message of 140 characters, a
:12:50. > :12:59.project that has taken him three years to complete. The discipline of
:13:00. > :13:04.really sticking to what I set out to do, to summarise every single day,
:13:05. > :13:09.has really had the biggest effect on me personally. It is the way it has
:13:10. > :13:16.become just part of my life and such a deep habit.
:13:17. > :13:19.She's been described as an inspiration to all. 15`year`old
:13:20. > :13:24.Jacqueline Jaskowitz from Great Ayton was diagnosed with scoliosis
:13:25. > :13:27.earlier this year. She had two curves in her spine, but struggled
:13:28. > :13:30.to find information about the condition. So the teenager made a
:13:31. > :13:33.film following her emotional journey from treatment to surgery, to help
:13:34. > :13:42.others facing the same battle. Stuart Whincup reports.
:13:43. > :13:47.A collection of photographs capture Jacqueline's story. From a happy,
:13:48. > :13:51.healthy teenager ` who loved karate... She went to hospital after
:13:52. > :13:59.complaining of headaches and was eventually diagnosed with scoliosis.
:14:00. > :14:05.We really did not know what it was to begin with but when we found out,
:14:06. > :14:10.I was in a lot of shock. I nearly burst out crying. So Jacqueline made
:14:11. > :14:21.a list of the things she wanted to do before her surgery.
:14:22. > :14:33.Then she decided to make a film about her treatment and recovery.
:14:34. > :14:37.When I was first diagnosed, we went on to YouTube to find some other
:14:38. > :14:42.videos but they were all Americans, so I could not really relate to it.
:14:43. > :14:46.Thought if we made one for people with scoliosis in the UK to watch,
:14:47. > :14:48.they could relate to it, so they could get help. Now Jacqueline's
:14:49. > :14:57.courage has been recognised by her school. And last night she won its
:14:58. > :15:00.Triumph Over Adversity Award. Inspired of the treatment and the
:15:01. > :15:07.pain, she has come back on she does not make excuses, and she just gets
:15:08. > :15:10.on with it. `` in spite of. So now happy and healthy ` Jacqueline has
:15:11. > :15:15.high hopes for the future. I just want to get through school and pass
:15:16. > :15:27.all my GCSEs. I just want a good future.
:15:28. > :15:29.Now the sport, and news of another name we have to learn how to
:15:30. > :15:40.pronounce. Yes, Middlesbrough look set to
:15:41. > :15:45.appoint Aitor Karanka as their new manager. The Spaniard was Jose
:15:46. > :15:47.Mourinho's right`hand man at Real Madrid, and it's reported he's
:15:48. > :15:50.signed a two`and`half`year contract at the club. Mark Venus has been
:15:51. > :15:53.caretaker`manager at the Riverside since Tony Mowbray was sacked three
:15:54. > :15:56.weeks ago. The club's holding a press conference tomorrow morning.
:15:57. > :16:00.Well, last night we spoke to Niall Quinn before he was given the
:16:01. > :16:03.Freedom of the City of Sunderland. The Black Cats' former player,
:16:04. > :16:06.manager and chairman picked up his award for the huge contribution he's
:16:07. > :16:10.made to the city ` not just in footballing terms, but for his
:16:11. > :16:12.charity and community work as well. After Martin O'Neill's comments
:16:13. > :16:15.about Paolo di Canio being a "managerial charlatan", we took the
:16:16. > :16:18.opportunity to ask Quinn for his thoughts on O'Neill, Di Canio and
:16:19. > :16:27.what he makes of the apparent turnaround under new boss Gus Poyet.
:16:28. > :16:33.It is back on target, and football does that. You cannot predict
:16:34. > :16:36.football and anybody who can say outside of Sunderland that they were
:16:37. > :16:43.going to beat Manchester City again, they would have laughed. I
:16:44. > :16:48.did think that Niall Quinn was the man and I thought it would go from
:16:49. > :16:53.strength to strength. `` Martin O'Neill was the man. The
:16:54. > :16:58.relationship disappeared so and I could not understand that. Paolo
:16:59. > :17:10.DiCaprio, we now know it was Ada Barco in many respects. I do not
:17:11. > :17:14.know to my three that if I had been at the club, I do not think he would
:17:15. > :17:23.have hit my radar. I am more than pleasantly surprised. `` I did not
:17:24. > :17:26.know Gus Poyet. He is buying into the region though like I did all
:17:27. > :17:31.season ago, and I like that. He has a team down the bottom of the
:17:32. > :17:34.league, supposedly doomed to relegation. All the fears in the
:17:35. > :17:39.world should be there but they have played some beautiful football. Wes
:17:40. > :17:43.Brown is an inspiring leader, to come back in and do what he did
:17:44. > :17:48.after 12 months. Something very good is happening. So having made
:17:49. > :17:56.difficult choices and got perhaps one or two of them wrong, this man
:17:57. > :18:00.deserves a pat on the back for doing what he did so quickly. The future
:18:01. > :18:06.bodes well. I can watch it a little more relaxed. I want them to win
:18:07. > :18:10.badly every time and certainly in the last couple of weeks, you think
:18:11. > :18:16.that the impetus is there a game. It has been one of the biggest things
:18:17. > :18:19.that have happened at the club for many years.
:18:20. > :18:24.It's a busy week for Hartlepool, who are in cup action again tonight. The
:18:25. > :18:28.League Two side beat League One Notts County in the FA Cup on
:18:29. > :18:31.Saturday, and face more League One opposition tonight when they take on
:18:32. > :18:34.Rotherham in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Pools are on a roll after
:18:35. > :18:38.winning seven of their last eight games in all competitions, but Colin
:18:39. > :18:42.Cooper ` who was named League Two's Manager of the Month for October `
:18:43. > :18:47.says his side mustn't start to take winning for granted.
:18:48. > :18:50.Guarding against complacency is a massive thing. Once you go past
:18:51. > :18:56.confidence into overconfidence, that is when you might think, OK, we just
:18:57. > :18:59.have to turn up and things will fall into place. We get results from
:19:00. > :19:06.working very hard as a group of players. I want to play nice
:19:07. > :19:09.football but the work ethic has to be number one.
:19:10. > :19:12.Now, last night we brought the last of our three contenders for this
:19:13. > :19:15.year's Unsung Hero Award. We've been looking for someone who makes a
:19:16. > :19:19.major contribution to the sporting life of the region ` without looking
:19:20. > :19:22.for any reward. And from that short list, we're delighted to announce
:19:23. > :19:25.the winner is... Syd Robson, a coach with Gateshead Harriers, who joined
:19:26. > :19:29.me in the studio earlier this afternoon.
:19:30. > :19:42.Congratulations. If you have not guessed, you are our Unsung Hero
:19:43. > :19:48.Award win four `` the 2013. That is a surprise. I did not want to be in
:19:49. > :19:52.it. Somebody else put me in. You have been involved in athletics
:19:53. > :19:59.since 1945. How do you keep the enthusiasm going? I have always
:20:00. > :20:06.found it enjoyable. I have never thought, oh, I have got to go
:20:07. > :20:19.training. Not even on a cold, wet Tuesday night in November? I see my
:20:20. > :20:22.neighbours at work about 6:15pm and they are sitting watching the telly
:20:23. > :20:27.and when I come back at 9pm, they are still sitting watching the telly
:20:28. > :20:37.and that would drive me mad. You are missing look North X `` Look North!
:20:38. > :20:45.Have you ever sat down and calculated all the hours you put
:20:46. > :20:53.in? You never think about it. You give people lifts. I taken from
:20:54. > :20:57.about 11 up to about 14 or 15. John said to me years ago, does it not
:20:58. > :21:05.bother that when they get to 14 or 15, they move into his group? I said
:21:06. > :21:12.no, as long as I see them improving. Fantastic. Well done. We should also

:22:02. > :22:05.youngsters enjoy some of the things others take for granted. Like making
:22:06. > :22:17.a racket on the drums! Hannah Bayman reports.
:22:18. > :22:20.Making music together. Children at Mencap's centre in Carlisle are
:22:21. > :22:24.having a go at playing Indonesian instruments. Today we are
:22:25. > :22:32.introducing them to this set of instruments from Anthony share. ``
:22:33. > :22:36.from Indonesia. This is teamwork, it is about sticking together, using
:22:37. > :22:52.your head. Nobody feels out on a limb and isolated when you are doing
:22:53. > :22:55.group music. Perfect. One more time, a little bit quicker. These children
:22:56. > :23:00.have disabilities including autism, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy and
:23:01. > :23:04.sensory loss. Children In Need funding pays for Mencap to take more
:23:05. > :23:13.than 40 children from Cumbria on one holiday in the UK each year. Are
:23:14. > :23:17.holidays are special. We do not just take them on holiday. We take them
:23:18. > :23:21.on a cultural holiday, doing something like this, a theatre
:23:22. > :23:28.school when they will do a performance at the end. We take them
:23:29. > :23:33.abseiling and rock climbing. We also do a really nice city break. So that
:23:34. > :23:40.they can go and chill out. What do you like best about coming here?
:23:41. > :23:53.Seeing friends. Being able to do stuff and it feels like home. There
:23:54. > :23:57.is... The swings and roundabouts. The holidays are great and the kids
:23:58. > :24:01.get the opportunity to go and experience things that they might
:24:02. > :24:07.not otherwise experience. Climbing, abseiling, canoeing... Seen the
:24:08. > :24:12.enjoyment on their faces and their confidence improve makes a big
:24:13. > :24:16.difference. I can see that their social skills and communication
:24:17. > :24:23.skills are really coming along. They really come out of their shells. A
:24:24. > :24:26.little bit of money goes a long way for these children. If you do not
:24:27. > :24:30.pick up the phone these children will not get the opportunity
:24:31. > :24:33.anywhere else. Another way Pudsey's favourite charity is making children
:24:34. > :24:38.smile. Hannah Bayman, BBC Look North, in Carlisle.
:24:39. > :24:46.One ways you can keep the penny is coming in is by buying our calendar.
:24:47. > :24:51.And lots of people have been already.
:24:52. > :24:56.Thousands sold. And Pudsey Bear is out and about promoting and selling
:24:57. > :25:02.the look North weather calendar this week. He always causes a stir,
:25:03. > :25:07.especially when he arrives on his special bus. Him and hammer were
:25:08. > :25:14.kept easy this afternoon signing calendars. And the Roman soldiers
:25:15. > :25:22.were there to lend a hand. That links into some nonsense that is
:25:23. > :25:27.going on on Friday night in aid of Children In Need in Hexham.
:25:28. > :25:37.Come along if you can tomorrow in Middlesbrough and buy a calendar
:25:38. > :25:39.while they last. If you live in some of the high ground in our region,
:25:40. > :25:50.winter is already here. Overnight tonight, a feel of winter.
:25:51. > :25:55.No snow expected but certainly a dry picture and clearing skies as we
:25:56. > :26:01.head through the evening. The light wind and a touch of frost in many
:26:02. > :26:05.places. Today, most places stayed dry and the broken cloud gave us
:26:06. > :26:12.some sunny spells. This evening the sunny spells are replaced by clear
:26:13. > :26:16.skies. The heat will drop away and there will be quite a range of
:26:17. > :26:25.temperatures overnight. A westerly breeze on the Cumbrian coast. A
:26:26. > :26:30.little bit of cloud will keep the temperature `` temperatures up.
:26:31. > :26:34.Outlying areas in the countryside could well have temperatures closer
:26:35. > :26:42.to freezing and some of us will need the de`icer first in tomorrow. A
:26:43. > :26:45.dry, bright one tomorrow. The cloud gradually building up through the
:26:46. > :26:50.West. That thick cloud eventually spreading with outbreaks of rain
:26:51. > :26:55.through the West through the afternoon and tomorrow evening. And
:26:56. > :26:59.which is just into double figures. The cloud and rain accompanied by a
:27:00. > :27:04.strengthening south`westerly wind. This frontal system is breaking the
:27:05. > :27:09.wet and windy weather. It moves in through West to East. It brings a
:27:10. > :27:13.mild night. The ridge of high pressure tends to keep things fairly
:27:14. > :27:17.dry as we head towards the tail end of the week. If you are out and
:27:18. > :27:25.about on Thursday, no warmer than recently. Temperatures only just
:27:26. > :27:29.making double figures. A bit more cloud around on Friday. You can keep
:27:30. > :27:37.eyeing up to day with the forecast on the go with the BBC weather app.
:27:38. > :27:43.Have you put my three calendar aside?
:27:44. > :27:46.Yes. No discount, mind! Good night.
