Thank you, Tomasz. That is all from the News At Six, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. Tonight: A royal double act. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Prince William and Prince Charles on separate visits to the North. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
The mother of an American student ` missing for more than three weeks ` | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
says she believes her son is still alive. | :00:21. | :00:33. | |
The soldier who survived Afghanistan now facing a battle with leukaemia. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
And a happy 40th birthday to one of the BBC's most successful local | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
radio stations. In sport, will it be a warm welcome | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
at St James's for one of the Magpies' former managers? | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
And with Sunderland's head coach insisting he'll have the final veto | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
on January transfers, can Gus Poyet engineer a third win in a row? | :00:54. | :01:06. | |
First tonight: A double royal visit for the North. Prince Charles has | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
been on Teesside today ` while Prince William paid a visit to | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Tyneside and Wearside. The Prince of Wales was in the North to mark 50 | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
years of trade through Tees Dock. His son meanwhile visited the | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
homeless charity Centrepoint and opened a new leisure centre. Damian | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
O'Neil is live for us now at the first of Prince William's calling | :01:29. | :01:49. | |
points in Sunderland. Damian. He came through these doors. | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
The Duke of Cambridge arrived shortly after 11 o'clock this | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
morning to an enthusiastic welcome from the staff and users of the | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Centrepoint hostel, of which he is patron. He was taken on a guided | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
tour before sitting down to chat one to one with some of the young people | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
who've been helped by Centrepoint and the Prince's Trust. What did you | :02:17. | :02:29. | |
talk about? About job opportunities and about our lives. I would never | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
have imagined meeting him. He was down`to`earth. It was an real. What | :02:40. | :02:59. | |
did you talk about? I have started volunteering with oxen. We talked | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
about that. `` volunteering with boxing. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
The management of Centrepoint and the Prince's Trust believe that the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
positive impact of a visit such as this goes far beyond the day itself. | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
It gives them an aspiration to go to work or to training. After a visit | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
lasting around two hours, Prince William then left for South Shields, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
where he officiay opened the new Haven Point Leisure Centre. | :03:35. | :03:45. | |
Well the Duke of Cambridge met a local celebrity when he was at the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
new Haven Point Leisure Centre in South Shields. Josef Craig, the | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Paralympian swimming gold medal winner, who's from South Tyneside, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
was at the pool ` and Prince William took the time to chat to him and to | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
admire his medals. Josef, who's 16, apparently challenged the prince to | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
a game of water polo. As we've said, Prince Charles has | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
been on Teesside today, visiting the headquarters of the company that | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
runs Teesport. Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve was there | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
and sent us this report. A royal seal of approval for a | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
business whose importance isn't widely known. Teesport is the | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
country's fourth biggest port, employs 800 people and handled 38 | :04:20. | :04:32. | |
million tonnes of cargo last year. It was the Middlesbrough | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
headquarters that was visited. He is passionate about engineering and | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
manufacturing. He wants to develop renewables. He wants to make this | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
place a success in the future. His charities are working hard to | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
support that. The prince also met young people | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
helped by the port's charity, the Hightide Foundation. It aims to | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
raise their aspirations and enthuse them about jobs in shipping. We went | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
on a container ship to St Petersburg. We did maintenance work. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
We learned how they did their jobs. We got to meet the crew and to work | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
with them. We got to climb up and down the stairs every single day. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
And then something of a lesson on the importance of Teesside's economy | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
to the country as a whole. A message that appears to have been made | :05:43. | :05:56. | |
before. A fairly unusual day. To Royal | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
visits. A 12`year`old boy has died after | :06:00. | :06:21. | |
being struck by a bus. It happened in Sunderland this afternoon. Police | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
say the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. The family are being | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
supported by specially trained officers. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
The mother of the American student Sope Peters ` who's been missing in | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Durham for more than three weeks ` says she believes her son is still | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
alive. 20`year`old Sope disappeared during a night out with friends at | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
the end of October. His mother, Tolu, has flown over from Virginia | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
in the United States to visit the city where he was last seen. Jury | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
Smith reports. The hope that Sope Peters is still alive has brought | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
his mother to the city of Durham. I will hopefully take him back with | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
me. I believe he is alive. I wanted to come here and be as close to him | :07:25. | :07:36. | |
as possible. He was captured on CCTV walking down | :07:37. | :07:49. | |
the steps to the river bank. There is speculation. Nobody knows | :07:50. | :08:11. | |
for a fact. We believe he is alive. Keep those posters up. Let people | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
think about it. There has been a great sense of shock and sadness. | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
Our students continue to distribute leaflets and posters. We continue to | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
hope for good news. Police are continuing their search. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
They have officers searching the river banks. That research has been | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
halted because of river conditions. We have our suspicions. But we need | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
the final piece of the jigsaw. Where ever he is, God is with him as well. | :08:59. | :09:08. | |
It is day by day. It is God that gives grace. | :09:09. | :09:22. | |
Tributes have been paid to a man from Middlesbrough who's been found | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
dead after going missing in south east Asia. The body of John`Paul | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Conley, who was 35, was found four days after he was caught in strong | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
currents while swimming in a river in Southern Laos. He was travelling | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
with his partner Kate Downey. His friends set up a fundraising website | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
to pay for a search. But this morning the site announced that | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
John`Paul's body had been recovered by a fishing boat. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Now, to have served in Afghanistan and survived a gun attack by a rogue | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
policeman was an ordeal in itself. But now a soldier from Teesside is | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
facing a new battle ` a battle with leukaemia ` and for a second time at | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
that. But now the only option for Ian Young from Teesville near | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Redcar, is a bone marrow transplant. Richard Thomas has the story. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
At home spending time with son Tommy. But only Ian can truly | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
understand how precious these moments are. Last year he narrowly | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
avoided being killed by a rogue Afghan policeman. An attack in which | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
two colleagues died. But after surviving that ` when he | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
returned home a year ago ` he fell ill. I was not as fit as I used to | :10:22. | :10:39. | |
be. I got a rash on my arm. My sergeant major told me to get it | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
checked out. It turned out it was leukaemia. Ian, who's 23 had | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
responded well to the chemotherapy ` and in July got engaged to | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
girlfriend Nicole and Tommy was born. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
But days before going back to his base ` with the Yorkshire regiment | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
at Warminster in Wiltshire ` he was told the cancer had returned. I was | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
not getting many infections. I was in remission for three months. I got | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
diagnosed a game with the illness. This time it was more serious. We | :11:14. | :11:26. | |
are absolutely devastated. You do not think it will happen to your | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
child. He cannot wait to get back to normal. | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Ian's only hope now is a bone marrow transplant ` and he's urging people | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
to join the donor register. His close family have been ruled out as | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
matches ` and so an international search is underway. I want to get | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
back into the army and back to normality. Seven years ago, hundreds | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
of people were told by Gateshead Council that their homes were to be | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
demolished as part of a regeneration plan. We reported on it, in fact. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Well, after all kinds of delays, that demolition work in the Bensham | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
area finally started this week. But this morning, it came to a sudden | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
halt ` on the orders of a judge. Our Chief Reporter Chris Stewart has | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
the story. Two days ago they were told to knock | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
it down. Today they were told to knock it on the head. There are | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
still people living in some of these houses. People who have refused to | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
sell up to the council. This is the back lane. It is too | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
dangerous for residents to be allowed to use it. This man has | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
decided to sell up. It has always looked inevitable. If the council | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
had said they would do a barrel renovation but you will have to | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
leave I would have left with much better grace. I feel a great deal of | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
affection for my particular place. I campaign group says the county is | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
guilty of a scandalous waste of homes. The group is waiting to see | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
if it will be allowed a judicial review. A judge told the council | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
today to halt the demolition. Then if a court finally decides these | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
houses are worth saving they would still be there to be saved. As for | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
the council it is all it is trying to do is to provide greater choice | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
and quality of homes. Concerns about the impact of next | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
year's Tour de France on the Yorkshire Dales are said to have | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
been allayed today, following a meeting organised by a local | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
landowner. The race next July will cross a small part of Lord Peel's | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
land at Grinton. With 30,000 spectators expected, there were | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
fears of substantial damage to the environmentally sensitive area. Lord | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
Peel is said to have been reassured after being told 20,000 volunteers | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
were being trained to control crowds and vehicles. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Still to come ` the weekend's sport with Dawn. Plus: The talk of the | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
county ` BBC Radio Cumbria celebrates 40 years on the air. | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
And I will have to fool forecast. A Cumbrian MP has called for urgent | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
action to make railway stations fully accessible to disabled people. | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Penrith Station in Cumbria has no lifts and the northbound platform | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
can only be reached by steep stone stairs. It's one of nine stations | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
across our region that aren't fully accessible. Emily Unia reports. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Penrith in North Cumbria. A busy station on the West Coast main line | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
` but not one that many disabled people can use. | :15:03. | :15:14. | |
If you're heading south from Penrith, access is fine ` platform | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
one is next to the car park. But coming home again, the train arrives | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
at platform two. If you cannot do this deal is you | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
have to get somebody to help you across the tracks. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
But mobility scooters are not allowed over the tracks. So Elaine | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
Waite can travel south, but she cannot come back. People without | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
disabilities do not realise how hard it is. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
Across the region eight other stations still have barrel | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
crossings. At Penrith the local MP has been | :16:04. | :16:26. | |
campaigning hard. We will get their money from somewhere. It must | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
happen. This is the only station on the West Coast Main line that does | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
not have disabled access. The Department of Transport says it is | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
spending ?100 million on improving access. A decision will not be made | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
until next April. There's more on that story on Sunday | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Politics ` that's at 11 o'clock this Sunday morning here on BBC One. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
Now, it's long been one of the BBC's most successful local radio stations | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
` and this weekend BBC Radio Cumbria celebrates its 40th birthday. It | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
started life as Radio Carlisle in 1973, becoming "countywide" a few | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
years later. The station's marking the anniversary by welcoming back a | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
host of former presenters. Graham Moss reports. | :17:23. | :17:41. | |
His was the first voice on Radio Carlisle in November 1973. Today a | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
one off return to the breakfast show. Radio Carlisle gave a focus. | :17:46. | :18:03. | |
We gave a focus to people to reflect their daily lives. The radio station | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
has won awards and recognition because of the way it has responded | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
to emergency situations. John Myers whose career has taken | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
him from Radio Cumbria presenter to one of British Radio's top | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
executives has always held his own local station in high regards. For | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
40 years this radio station has been at the top of its game. It has won | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
awards. That is because of the people it hires to broadcast and | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
connect with a population. One presenter's been there | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
throughout. I have done just about every programme. Doing a variety of | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
programmes has been brilliant. Occasionally you get a programme | :19:00. | :19:00. | |
right. For any radio station to make it to | :19:01. | :19:15. | |
the 40 year mark proves there is still a need for local radio. On air | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
celebrations continue over the weekend as the station looks forward | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
to serving Cumbria for the next 40 years. | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
I read my first news bulletin on radio Cumbria. | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
He's only seven weeks into the job, but with the January transfer window | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
looming, Sunderland's head coach Gus Poyet has insisted he will not | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
tolerate players being recruited to the club that he doesn't rate. The | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
Uruguayan's working relationship with director of football Roberto de | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Fanti will come under close scrutiny as the Black Cats seek to strengthen | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
the first team squad in the New Year. | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Only around five of the 14 summer signings arranged by de Fanti for | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Poyet's predecessor, Paolo Di Canio, feature regularly in the first team | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
squad. The new head coach clearly doesn't | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
want a repeat of that situation. Some of this morning's newspapers | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
have interpreted his comments to the written press, regarding having the | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
final say on transfer targets, as a warning to the Stadium of Light | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
hierarchy. Poyet was more circumspect on camera, though. It is | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
clear that the manager needs to be happy. We had a meeting. I told them | :20:39. | :20:57. | |
what I think. We will now get in contact to see the financial | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
situation. Tomorrow's game at Stoke, also under | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
new management, has been rightly targeted as winnable. But can | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
Sunderland maintain the momentum from their surprise win over | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Manchester City? We need to make sure that we go the thinking we can | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
win the game. Mark Hughes is trying to change things around. May as | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
well. We need to when. It will be who is the stronger. | :21:31. | :21:40. | |
Newcastle take on former boss Chris Hughton's Norwich City at St James' | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Park tomorrow. The Magpies come into the game off the back of victories | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
against Chelsea and Spurs and with most of their international players | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
having qualified for the World Cup. But, while the camp is buzzing, Alan | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Pardew wants his squad to forget that for now and capitalise on a | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
healthy league position. An unexpected six points from their | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
last two games means a victory against Norwich could see Newcastle | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
within touching distance of the Champions League places. But their | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
disappointing result against Hull shows the Magpies are more than | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
capable of undoing all the good work. There has been many times when | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
this club has shot itself in the foot. It is important that we show | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
the consistency on Saturday. The outcome of the game could be | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
significant for former boss Chris Hughton who watched United win at | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
White Hart Lane. He's still under pressure at Norwich despite his | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
side's 3`1 victory over West Ham last time out ` but says his players | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
shouldn't be daunted by the trip to St James'. I would want every single | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
one of my players to look forward to going there. It is a wonderful | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
stadium. They can create a great atmosphere there. They can get | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
behind 13. But they have been beaten at home this season. You need to | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
look for all the positives that you can. | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
Pardew will have to make changes to the back four with Mathieu Debuchy | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
suspended and Fabricio Coloccini fit again. Mike Williamson's hoping to | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
retain his place and is looking forward to seeing his old boss | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
again. He is a great man. He gave me my chance to make a Premier League | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
debut. I bought him a lot for that. `` I ought him a lot for that. | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka says an away trip to Leeds | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
is a great way to start his spell on Teesside. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
The former Real Madrid assistant boss, here on the right, takes | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
charge of his first game at Elland Road ten days after being appointed | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
by Boro at the start of the international break. He's already | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
made an impression on his first team squad. He has won the champions | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
league on numerous occasions. He has played for the best club in the | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
world. We are all excited. We are keen to learn from him and to draw | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
from his experience. It is something different now. It wakes people up. | :24:18. | :24:34. | |

Here is the weather. Frosty and 40 especially in Cumbria | :25:25. | :25:51. | |
on Sunday. Overnight it stays dry and clear. Mist and fog developing | :25:52. | :26:07. | |
over this county. First thing in the morning most of the mist and fog | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
should lift. Not quite as much sun in the Northeast as we enjoy today. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Temperatures lower than they have been. It gets colder as we go | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
northwards. Light winds. It is coldest in the West. But most | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
sunshine here. Over the next couple of these frosts and fog continue | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
overnight. On Sunday that Ford could really linger, particularly in parts | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
of Cumbria between the North Pennines and Lakeland. Where the fog | :26:48. | :27:00. | |
lingers it will knock the temperatures. Three or four Celsius | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
above freezing even into the afternoon. It will be less called | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
for inland areas and four areas along the West Coast. That it stays | :27:13. | :27:24. | |
cloudy until Monday by day. A few bright breaks possible on Monday. It | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
stays dry over the weekend, but Frosty by night and 40 in Cumbria on | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
Sunday. That is all for now. Goodbye. | :27:42. | :27:46. |
