:00:00. > :00:00.so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news
:00:00. > :00:00.teams Good evening, and welcome to
:00:07. > :00:11.Monday's Look North. Tonight: Is it time to decriminalise heroin?
:00:12. > :00:14.One of our chief constables says it's the only way to win the war
:00:15. > :00:19.with the drugs gangs. We've a special report.
:00:20. > :00:23.On trial. Former Newcastle united striker Nile Ranger appears in court
:00:24. > :00:26.accused of raping a woman in a hotel.
:00:27. > :00:29.Up to 7000 new jobs are promised as a details are revealed of a new
:00:30. > :00:33.airport business park. And we begin our series on World War
:00:34. > :00:43.One at home ` looking at the Northumberland trenches, dug by
:00:44. > :00:46.recruits training for war. There are taught the things you don't want to
:00:47. > :00:52.hear in your career, and one is we are going over.
:00:53. > :00:53.In sport, so near and yet so far for our bobsleigh team at the Winter
:00:54. > :00:58.Olympics. But it's never too late to score a
:00:59. > :01:06.goal at St James's ` a priceless goal for Pardew and co!
:01:07. > :01:13.Tonight, a call for a rethink on our drugs policy which many will find
:01:14. > :01:16.extraordinary. And it comes from one of our top police officers. Mike
:01:17. > :01:20.Barton, the Chief Constable of Durham, says he wants to see the
:01:21. > :01:24.Government provide free heroin for addicts. Speaking publicly on the
:01:25. > :01:27.subject for the first time, he says it's the only way to beat the
:01:28. > :01:31.criminal gangs which import and distribute the drug ` because it
:01:32. > :01:34.will take away their income. For tonight's Inside Out, Mr Barton
:01:35. > :01:38.authors a special film which took him to Copenhagen ` where a scheme
:01:39. > :01:47.already offers addicts freedom from prosecution. Our Chief Reporter
:01:48. > :01:50.Chris Stewart went with him. It is a stance which will
:01:51. > :01:55.undoubtedly make him unpopular with many politicians, but he says the
:01:56. > :01:58.money we spend on locking up drug addicts would be better spent on
:01:59. > :02:03.trying to help them recover, which led to the fact`finding mission to
:02:04. > :02:05.Denmark. I'm here to see is a stance which will undoubtedly make him
:02:06. > :02:08.unpopular with many politicians, but he says the money we spend on
:02:09. > :02:10.locking up to Alex would be better spent on trying to help them
:02:11. > :02:12.recover, which led to the fact`finding mission to Denmark. I'm
:02:13. > :02:15.here to see some indifferent. Addicks are given free injection
:02:16. > :02:20.kits in a safe environment. He once go much further than that, as well
:02:21. > :02:24.as a safe environment like that available to Alex, he wants to
:02:25. > :02:33.provide free heroine, and he says Addicks like 22`year`old Anneka help
:02:34. > :02:39.prove his point. What will help you stop? I don't know. I have been
:02:40. > :02:51.through a lot of death. I thought I would not wake up. I don't get
:02:52. > :02:56.scared of it. I hope there comes a time when I feel I want to be clean.
:02:57. > :03:04.She was introduced by drugs I her own father. Mr Barton says the
:03:05. > :03:09.Danish state already helps fund her habit. She isn't part of a much
:03:10. > :03:14.bigger problem. She blows ?600 that you get on the state every month on
:03:15. > :03:20.drugs, and gives it to her drug dealer. What I'm suggesting is that
:03:21. > :03:25.?6 to towards her public, so she is free from drugs and we should
:03:26. > :03:31.require the herring and take the ?600 out of the drug dealer's
:03:32. > :03:45.pocket. Mr Barton also faces one of his biggest critics. What is the
:03:46. > :03:51.answer? I'm advocating the proceeds of the possessors of drugs. About
:03:52. > :03:58.one, anyone is caught, they are prosecuted and found guilty. It is
:03:59. > :04:03.did deter people from drugs. This is what you do not do. He knows a good
:04:04. > :04:06.it is own staff, but he says an angry debate is better than no
:04:07. > :04:10.debate. And Chris Stewart is with me now. If
:04:11. > :04:15.the government did take up Mr Barton's plan, the cost would be
:04:16. > :04:20.enormous, wouldn't it? You are right. On the other hand, heroine
:04:21. > :04:24.users are in out of prison and prison costs ?35,000 per year for
:04:25. > :04:28.inmates. Add to that the cost of catching them, and the cost of
:04:29. > :04:32.prosecuting them, and individual cost of victims of the crimes these
:04:33. > :04:36.people often commit. Suddenly it doesn't seem so straightforward. Why
:04:37. > :04:42.is he the only Chief Constable saying this? Chances are he is not
:04:43. > :04:46.the only one. He is only one saying publicly. It is inconceivable that
:04:47. > :04:51.42 of the constables disagree with the man who runs Durham. It is worth
:04:52. > :04:55.pointing out he does have the full support on this issue from his
:04:56. > :05:02.Commissioner. Ron Hogg was also a former Chief Constable, Deputy Chief
:05:03. > :05:06.Constable who dealt with drug gangs. Well you can make up your own mind
:05:07. > :05:07.about Mike Barton's proposals ` by watching Inside Out tonight on BBC
:05:08. > :05:18.One at 7.30pm. The former Newcastle united player
:05:19. > :05:21.Nile Ranger has gone on trial accused of rape. The 22`year`old
:05:22. > :05:31.striker, who is appearing before Newcastle Crown Court, denies the
:05:32. > :05:37.charge. Andrew Hartley reports. Nile Ranger played for Newcastle
:05:38. > :05:43.united until March last year. He arrived at Crown Court. It was told
:05:44. > :05:47.that Mr Ranger and as victim had been friends. They have been in
:05:48. > :05:52.contact by text. They met at the Empress bar on a Tuesday night in
:05:53. > :05:57.January last year. The court heard that the woman remembers dancing and
:05:58. > :06:01.drinking for the first hour of their date, but has no memory of what
:06:02. > :06:06.happened after that, until she woke the next morning in a bed in a hotel
:06:07. > :06:12.room in Newcastle with Mr Ranger lying next to her. The jury was
:06:13. > :06:16.shown CCTV footage of the woman and Mr Ranger arriving at this hotel in
:06:17. > :06:20.the Jesmond area of Newcastle in the small hours of Wednesday morning.
:06:21. > :06:25.The prosecution says the photo shows that the woman fell out of the taxi
:06:26. > :06:29.and was left lying on the pavement for some time, good for Mr Ranger SS
:06:30. > :06:33.at her into the hotel stop it is claimed this footage showed the
:06:34. > :06:37.woman was incapacitated through drink or drugs. The court heard that
:06:38. > :06:43.Mr Ranger and admits having sex with the woman, but says physical contact
:06:44. > :06:50.was totally consensual. He denies the charge of rape and the trial
:06:51. > :06:53.continues. Heavy rain's caused problems with
:06:54. > :06:57.flooding in Cumbria. In Carlisle, a flood warning was in place on the
:06:58. > :06:59.River Eden ` after it burst its banks ` making the road through
:07:00. > :07:02.Rickerby Park impassable. Firefighters also pumped water from
:07:03. > :07:05.a close in Ellenbrough where three homes were affected. Standing water
:07:06. > :07:13.also caused problems on the A595 near Cockermouth. And two golf
:07:14. > :07:19.courses in Carlisle were underwater. Up to 7000 new jobs. That's the
:07:20. > :07:23.claim by Newcastle Airport today, as it revealed the first details of a
:07:24. > :07:26.new business park. The initial phase of the development will see six new
:07:27. > :07:29.offices created on land close by. And, as our Political Editor Richard
:07:30. > :07:34.Moss reports, today it got the backing of a government minister.
:07:35. > :07:37.The view is impressive. But there should soon be even more to see from
:07:38. > :07:41.Newcastle Airport's control tower. A new business park is planned close
:07:42. > :07:45.by. The first phase will see six office blocks built, housing up to
:07:46. > :07:50.1000 people. It's hoped the park will eventually employ 7000. It's a
:07:51. > :07:58.plan that got the backing of the Scarborough MP and aviation
:07:59. > :08:02.minister. It is a thriving airport, it is going places. It has flights
:08:03. > :08:06.to Dubai and they are optimistic on having flights to the USA. It is a
:08:07. > :08:10.good example of how an effective regional airport can be part of the
:08:11. > :08:13.whole local economy. And for the airport managers, the business park
:08:14. > :08:16.is not a diversion from its main purpose, but something that shows
:08:17. > :08:22.it's weathered the downturn and is ready to spread its wings. When the
:08:23. > :08:26.crash came in 2008, we lost money, but we are growing now. As well as
:08:27. > :08:30.growth last year, we have accelerated growth this year and we
:08:31. > :08:33.believe the property market is search within the north`east that
:08:34. > :08:37.the timing of this launch is right. And for the minister, this was a
:08:38. > :08:40.chance to see another money spinner for the airport, its fire safety
:08:41. > :08:43.training academy. But the airport has also been pushing the government
:08:44. > :08:48.to cut air travel taxes to help it attract more flights. On that he was
:08:49. > :08:55.less encouraging. I know it is a content is issued by local flight to
:08:56. > :09:01.London it is ?40 tax cut. The point is that we don't charge VAT on quite
:09:02. > :09:04.as some countries do. Certainly any of those representations are passed
:09:05. > :09:07.through to the Treasury, and I'm sure Mr Osborne will be considering
:09:08. > :09:10.them as he plans his budget. But despite that airport managers are
:09:11. > :09:17.confident that its expansion plans mean it's a business that remains on
:09:18. > :09:21.the up. Well staying with jobs and aviation
:09:22. > :09:24.` and the government's thought to be on the verge of ordering a fleet of
:09:25. > :09:28.new combat aircraft ` which will bring huge benefits to a company
:09:29. > :09:30.from County Durham. The order could be worth around ?2.5 billion `
:09:31. > :09:36.securing 24,000 jobs nationally, including some here in the region.
:09:37. > :09:44.Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports.
:09:45. > :09:48.This is the stealth and combat jet the Ministry of defence is on the
:09:49. > :09:53.cusp of a ring. It is American but the government tell us it is good
:09:54. > :09:58.for UK manufacturing. This will bring jobs to companies like this
:09:59. > :10:03.one in Durham. They'll supply engine parts. It is a prestigious project.
:10:04. > :10:07.There has been a lot of design work. We have created some of our products
:10:08. > :10:11.which are unique, and are manufactured nowhere else in the
:10:12. > :10:17.world. We provide something which is distinct to that programme. 500 UK
:10:18. > :10:21.companies were built 15% of the new jet, because to operate in the
:10:22. > :10:25.region. This one of the paint company. But Steve, 23 years in this
:10:26. > :10:32.business he attributed his involvement to become an ever
:10:33. > :10:37.sophisticated. This machinery makes things easier than it. If if you go
:10:38. > :10:43.way back, to make a tool for eight Ascot, you haven't a file stuff
:10:44. > :10:53.down, where as now we have a machine which can cut to within inches. As
:10:54. > :11:01.long as I finish my college work and get it all done, it should be all
:11:02. > :11:07.right to stay on here. More than 3000 F 35 's will be built and sold.
:11:08. > :11:11.Each boasting something made in this tiny part of County Durham.
:11:12. > :11:15.You're watching Monday's Look North. Teamtalk is coming up, and a look at
:11:16. > :11:19.how at how rural Northumberland played a vital role training
:11:20. > :11:21.soldiers for world war one. Plus the children who'll be getting VIP
:11:22. > :11:33.treatment at Sunderland's Wembley final this weekend. The last 24
:11:34. > :11:40.hours have given us high rainfall. Find out over the next few days
:11:41. > :11:44.later in the programme. Now: Today sees the start of "World
:11:45. > :11:48.War One At Home", a project carried out in partnership between the BBC
:11:49. > :11:51.and Imperial War Museums. Over the next few days we have stories from
:11:52. > :11:55.across the Northeast and Cumbria, uncovering tales of our part in the
:11:56. > :11:58.war effort. In this first special report, Gerry Jackson explores the
:11:59. > :12:01.poignant traces of practice trenches, dug in Northumberland by
:12:02. > :12:09.raw army recruits ` as they waited to be sent overseas.
:12:10. > :12:13.High on the Northumberland moors, we're on the trail of men who came
:12:14. > :12:20.here a century ago for their first taste of war. This has been soldier
:12:21. > :12:23.country for a long time. The army bought 20,000 acres of land near
:12:24. > :12:28.Otterburn just before the First World War. Then, as now, the army
:12:29. > :12:40.brought its recruits here to toughen them up. It looks like it must have
:12:41. > :12:45.looked, 100 years ago. It is just surviving a fear which is hard work.
:12:46. > :12:51.Training on top is even harder work. You don't want to hear in your
:12:52. > :12:58.career that we are going over the top. When Kitchener made his famous
:12:59. > :13:04.call to arms, the government hoped 100,000 men would join up. Within
:13:05. > :13:14.four months a million had come forward. It is a believe these new
:13:15. > :13:18.recruits were stuffed into uniform and sent overseas, but the army was
:13:19. > :13:24.determined to train them properly. That could take up to a year, and
:13:25. > :13:28.involved discipline and digging. They dug in public parks, the
:13:29. > :13:31.grounds of stately homes and on army ranges like Otterburn. And here, the
:13:32. > :13:36.traces of their labours are still preserved. The trenches cover an
:13:37. > :13:38.area only the size of a couple of football fields, but they're a
:13:39. > :13:47.history lesson etched in the landscape. It has been said that the
:13:48. > :13:52.more trenches dug in England than there were on the Western front.
:13:53. > :13:58.This trench is a life`saver. This is the real McCoy. It would have been
:13:59. > :14:03.two and a half metres deep. They had to get this training right, because
:14:04. > :14:08.we're about good realistic training, they wouldn't be prepared
:14:09. > :14:11.for what was facing them in the actual theatre of war. Today's army
:14:12. > :14:22.uses this vast expanse as an artillery range, just as it did back
:14:23. > :14:26.then. It is in the area. It is rumoured they were firing over as
:14:27. > :14:31.they were digging, so they have the experience of having shells and
:14:32. > :14:42.gunfire done over the top as part of their training. Would it have been a
:14:43. > :14:47.hard life? Finally the soldiers, volunteered and all gung ho, and
:14:48. > :14:53.then they come here in the middle of the night. It might have dawned on
:14:54. > :14:55.them all of a sudden. These wartime fragments are classed as a scheduled
:14:56. > :15:00.ancient monument. Their very inaccessibility has probably helped
:15:01. > :15:03.to conserve them. Now, 100 years after young men prepared here for
:15:04. > :15:12.the hell of the Western Front, the military says protecting this is a
:15:13. > :15:18.tribute to that generation. Can you see this being here for another
:15:19. > :15:24.hundred years? Without a shadow of a doubt. We will make sure it is kept
:15:25. > :15:28.in this condition. Some of the men who did this perhaps did not come
:15:29. > :15:35.back. You have to realise that. It is poignant and there is something
:15:36. > :15:42.we should cherish. Not just for ourselves, but for future
:15:43. > :15:46.generations. And there'll be a World War One at
:15:47. > :15:49.Home report on Look North each evening this week. Tomorrow morning
:15:50. > :15:57.on your local radio station, you can hear another story about the impact
:15:58. > :16:00.World War One had on where you live. Go to www.bbc.co.uk/ww1 and follow
:16:01. > :16:07.the links to find more World War One At Home stories in our region.
:16:08. > :16:11.It's every fan's dream to see their team play in a Cup final at Wembley
:16:12. > :16:14.` and for thousands of Sunderland fans that will come true this
:16:15. > :16:19.weekend. But even better to experience it in the luxury of an
:16:20. > :16:22.executive box. Well for five children in Sunderland, whose lives
:16:23. > :16:27.are harder than most, that dream is about to become a reality, as Bob
:16:28. > :16:31.Cooper reports. Life isn't much fun when you are
:16:32. > :16:34.sick. These five children all have serious illnesses, but on Sunday
:16:35. > :16:38.they'll be living it up in an executive box as the Black Cats take
:16:39. > :16:48.on Manchester City in the League Cup final at Wembley. I think the score
:16:49. > :16:56.is going to be 2`0 to us. I hope Sunderland are going to win, and win
:16:57. > :16:58.the trophy. Jackie has a condition called DiGeorge syndrome, which
:16:59. > :17:01.affects mainly his heart, his immunity. He has eating difficulties
:17:02. > :17:05.and his learning and development. When we got the phone call last
:17:06. > :17:10.week, he was on cloud nine and so was I, because he is having a treat
:17:11. > :17:13.of a lifetime. This special treat is courtesy of the Wells Sports
:17:14. > :17:20.Foundation, which runs a scheme to send children with health problems
:17:21. > :17:23.on VIP trips to sporting events. These kids deserve a day out. They
:17:24. > :17:27.are just fantastic and really appreciate it. These children really
:17:28. > :17:32.are looking forward to it. Rebecca, who has an eating disorder, hopes
:17:33. > :17:36.this trip will give her a boost. Hopefully it is a turning point. I
:17:37. > :17:44.don't want to be in hospital anymore this year, Hopefully this is a good
:17:45. > :17:49.sign. The kids all up for the Cup there,
:17:50. > :17:53.but the players had to try to focus on the league this weekend ` and it
:17:54. > :18:00.wasn't plain sailing for any of our clubs ` it's time for Teamtalk!
:18:01. > :18:03.It was relief as much as anything for Newcastle yesterday as they
:18:04. > :18:07.ended a run of four successive home league defeats by beating Aston
:18:08. > :18:11.Villa Yes, and it was striker Loic Remy who made the difference. Their
:18:12. > :18:15.top scorer had been out of action because of a three game suspension
:18:16. > :18:18.but he proved his worth yesterday, though he left it late to say the
:18:19. > :18:22.least! There was an atmosphere of quiet desperation at St James Park,
:18:23. > :18:25.in the stands and on the field as the players tried to score their
:18:26. > :18:28.first goal since 28th January. But it was Villa who initially had the
:18:29. > :18:31.best chances, Gabby Agbonlahor posing the main threat. And you
:18:32. > :18:34.can't underestimate the importance of the return of Captain Fabricio
:18:35. > :18:37.Coloccini at the back either which injected some much needed
:18:38. > :18:41.confidence. Unfortunately Papiss Cisse is still severely lacking in
:18:42. > :18:45.that and really should have put Newcastle ahead just before the
:18:46. > :18:48.break. But the game really only came to life in the last ten minutes. As
:18:49. > :18:52.the desperation to score increased, they should have had a penalty for
:18:53. > :18:57.handball and substitute Luuk de Jong did get the ball in the back of the
:18:58. > :19:01.net but Sissoko was offside. Fans must have resigned themselves to a
:19:02. > :19:04.goalless draw when some good work from De Jong set up Loic Remy, but
:19:05. > :19:08.the Frenchman inexplicably hit the post. Pardew couldn't believe it! So
:19:09. > :19:12.when Remy did score in the second minute of stoppage time, his 12th
:19:13. > :19:16.league goal of the season, St James Park erupted, it was almost as if
:19:17. > :19:22.they'd won a cup. And one lucky fan will have Remy's shirt, a great
:19:23. > :19:30.memento to remind him of the moment! It was special, not just for the
:19:31. > :19:35.three point, but that lack of goal was hanging over us. We missed two
:19:36. > :19:40.chancers. We had a penalty decision declined. I thought we were really
:19:41. > :19:44.and truly in need of a goal. We created with our commitment and
:19:45. > :19:48.effort today one good chance, and it fell to the best player on the
:19:49. > :19:54.pitch. I'm not too sure there are many players in our group who could
:19:55. > :19:58.have got that goal. Well next weekend the Magpies ` now
:19:59. > :20:01.eighth on 40 points ` take on Steve Bruce's Hull City, who are starting
:20:02. > :20:04.to break away from the relegation pack. Yes Sunderland will stay in
:20:05. > :20:08.the bottom three for the next fortnight ` of course they're at
:20:09. > :20:11.Wembley this Sunday. Head coach Gus Poyet had hoped the league game at
:20:12. > :20:14.Arsenal would be ideal preparation for taking on another quality side,
:20:15. > :20:18.Manchester City, on a big pitch in the capital. Yes but the League Cup
:20:19. > :20:21.final dress rehearsal didn't go to plan on the day Arsenal fans saluted
:20:22. > :20:24.Gunners legend Dennis Bergkamp, who's now got his own statue outside
