:01:26. > :01:29.One doctor says it could cost lives. A plan to shut down a doctors'
:01:30. > :01:32.surgery in Newcastle by the end of the month has been condemned by
:01:33. > :01:36.patients, MPs, and the leaddr of the council. NHS England has told the
:01:37. > :01:38.BBC that it's trying to find a temporary solution. Our health
:01:39. > :01:50.reporter Sharon Barbour has this exclusive report.
:01:51. > :01:54.This GP practice in Newcastle treats only 1500 patients. The news that
:01:55. > :02:01.it's going to be closed down at the end of this month and the GPs inside
:02:02. > :02:09.sacked has infuriated many of them. Absolutely gutted. Gutted. Just
:02:10. > :02:17.really upsetting. I am not going to join another surgery. It's being
:02:18. > :02:22.described as an emergency shtuation. The GPs here told they're ott of a
:02:23. > :02:30.job. The surgery is closing. 15 0 patients told to find a new doctor.
:02:31. > :02:35.It's very hard, sorry, yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say to them
:02:36. > :02:39.really. The lead GP says 1,000 of their patients are vulnerable and
:02:40. > :02:44.she fears that lives could be lost. The risk that patients are `t, I
:02:45. > :02:47.just, I mean, it's really scary If there is a loss of life as ` result
:02:48. > :02:54.of this whose responsibilitx would that be? Whoever had the
:02:55. > :02:58.short`sightedness to not continue this practice, I hope it dodsn't
:02:59. > :03:04.happen. I really do. The NHS? Well, yeah. So why is the whole GP surgery
:03:05. > :03:09.facing closure? NHS England say the contract to run it was up and say in
:03:10. > :03:15.discussions the company man`ging the surgery Primary Care North Dast
:03:16. > :03:19.decided not to renew it, but in a bitter dispute Primary Care North
:03:20. > :03:27.East say they only pulled ott as the NHS wouldn't pay what was ndeded to
:03:28. > :03:30.run it. We asked them to rehmburse Primary Care North East which is a
:03:31. > :03:37.social enterprise company and they were unable to agree to provide that
:03:38. > :03:42.amount of money and as such we haven't an option but to terminate
:03:43. > :03:47.the contract. NHS England's now told the BBC that they're in talks with
:03:48. > :03:52.another provider about a telporary GP service for Scotswood for the
:03:53. > :04:09.coming months. The NHS adding that their top
:04:10. > :04:12.priority is to ensure patient safety, especially vulnerable
:04:13. > :04:22.patients. The dispute's now been taken to the Health Minister by an
:04:23. > :04:27.angry Lord Bee, cham. `` Bedcham. I am incan descent. What's happened is
:04:28. > :04:30.that a very good practice whth an excellent doctor, two excellent
:04:31. > :04:34.doctors is being closed down on six weeks' notice without any
:04:35. > :04:37.consultation, with patients, the practice, other doctors in the area,
:04:38. > :04:41.or local authority who should have been notified about it. It's
:04:42. > :04:48.outrageous. Sharron is here now. Obviously an
:04:49. > :04:52.anding shus `` an anxious thme for patients and GPs. The lead GP, in
:04:53. > :04:58.fact many patients say they won t go to another GP, they'll just go to
:04:59. > :05:02.A if they need medical help. NHS England telling us tonight they re
:05:03. > :05:05.most anxious to work with the most vulnerable, we understand 1,000
:05:06. > :05:10.vulnerable patients to ensure continuity of care but an enormous
:05:11. > :05:16.amount going on behind the scenes. NHS England talking to a telporary
:05:17. > :05:21.provider, but also I have ldarned tonight that Newcastle City Council
:05:22. > :05:24.are trying to strike a deal to make sure that surgery can remain, we
:05:25. > :05:28.will find out more about both those next week but also on Thursday if
:05:29. > :05:33.the situation isn't resolved there is an urgent meeting for thd public
:05:34. > :05:46.to attend at Newcastle Civic Centre. If it isn't resolved I am stre that
:05:47. > :05:50.meeting will be very feisty. It has the highest rate of `rson in
:05:51. > :05:53.the country and a huge chemhcals complex on the doorstep but
:05:54. > :05:56.Cleveland Fire Authority is planning to cut more than 100 firefighters'
:05:57. > :05:58.jobs and close a station in Middlesbrough. Cuts totalling ?
:05:59. > :06:03.million were agreed this afternoon. Phil Chapman reports from the Fire
:06:04. > :06:06.Authority HQ in Hartlepool. The afternoon started with `
:06:07. > :06:11.last`ditch show of defiance but less than three hours later their worst
:06:12. > :06:15.fears were realised. The Fire Authority meeting ratified 85% of
:06:16. > :06:20.the cuts proposals object the `` on the table
:06:21. > :06:28.Very, very disappointing and upsetting day for the firefhghters
:06:29. > :06:33.who were in there, for the FBU, but more importantly, a very, vdry bad
:06:34. > :06:36.day for the public of Cleveland The public of Cleveland are now at risk
:06:37. > :06:41.from these dangerous cuts that the Fire Authority have voted through
:06:42. > :06:46.today. The biggest of which is the closure of marine fire stathon and
:06:47. > :06:49.the loss of 114 full`time posts Fire chiefs are also disappointed
:06:50. > :06:52.this had to happen but they'll continue to fight for more
:06:53. > :06:56.Government funding. All the elected members and myself, it's a very sad
:06:57. > :06:59.day in the history of the Fhre Authority and the brigade btt these
:07:00. > :07:02.are Government`imposed cuts. Therefore, the decisions have had to
:07:03. > :07:05.be made locally of how to m`nage those. The fight doesn't stop
:07:06. > :07:09.because we have made this plan. We will continue that fight ovdr the
:07:10. > :07:13.three`year period now to sed whether the next funding rounds will give us
:07:14. > :07:17.a better deal. The strong fdelings demonstrated earlier in the car park
:07:18. > :07:20.occasionally spilled over into the meeting room with the occashonal
:07:21. > :07:24.outburst but some feel anger should be directed elsewhere. The `nger
:07:25. > :07:29.should be at the Government rather than ourselves. We have a ?6 million
:07:30. > :07:37.deficit to tackle and we believe this is the best way of doing it.
:07:38. > :07:42.Our response time of getting there won't change. The FBU might not
:07:43. > :07:44.share that sense of optimisl and told us they're determined to fight
:07:45. > :07:47.decisions made here today whth everything they've got, even if that
:07:48. > :07:56.means resorting to industri`l action.
:07:57. > :07:59.Around three in ten of our secondary schools are now academies, `ccording
:08:00. > :08:01.to new official figures which show a rapid expansion of the Government's
:08:02. > :08:04.flagship education programmd over the last four years. The proportion
:08:05. > :08:09.of primary schools with academy status is lower, at around one in 11
:08:10. > :08:12.but is also growing. Ministdrs say these state`funded schools which are
:08:13. > :08:17.outside council control lead to an improvement in standards. Btt
:08:18. > :08:25.campaigners against academids say they reduce local influence over
:08:26. > :08:31.education. Luke Walton reports. Pupils at the Excelsior Academy in
:08:32. > :08:36.Newcastle hone their handiwork. Staff here say academic restlts are
:08:37. > :08:39.also shaping up. Improvements the head says is made possible because
:08:40. > :08:42.of the type of school this hs. Progress from being one of the
:08:43. > :08:45.poorest performing schools hn the city to one of the best performing
:08:46. > :08:49.schools in the city, absolutely tremendous improvements. In terms of
:08:50. > :08:54.how much is that to do with an academy, it's absolutely evdrything
:08:55. > :08:59.to do with being an academy. I have been able to determine the right
:09:00. > :09:12.structure, the right staff, the right curb `` `` curriculum. It s
:09:13. > :09:15.pushed for more academy seels to be working. There were ten in the
:09:16. > :09:20.north`east four years ago. Now there are more than 150. The figure keeps
:09:21. > :09:24.rising. But the rapid expansion of the
:09:25. > :09:29.academy programme has led to protests like this one on Txneside.
:09:30. > :09:33.Critics say the policy thre`tens teachers' pay and conditions and
:09:34. > :09:37.reduces the influence of parents. When a school becomes an ac`demy
:09:38. > :09:41.they are removed from local authority control and we thhnk it's
:09:42. > :09:45.really important that local people, parents and taxpayers, have the
:09:46. > :09:49.ability to be able to have ` say in what's best for our children in
:09:50. > :09:53.their schools. The structur`l change in becoming an academy, there is no
:09:54. > :09:59.evidence that improves the education.
:10:00. > :10:03.The Government says academids do translate into success. As this key
:10:04. > :10:12.coalition programme continuds to expand, the impact will be political
:10:13. > :10:18.as well as educational. MPs will be discussing acaddmy
:10:19. > :10:26.schools on Sunday Politics on Sunday morning here on BBC1.
:10:27. > :10:29.The Duke of York was in the region today, giving his backing to a
:10:30. > :10:31.County Durham initiative th`t tackles youth unemployment, as well
:10:32. > :10:35.as meeting young engineers destined for jobs in the sub`sea sector. And,
:10:36. > :10:38.unusually, the Duke agreed to be interviewed, and handed out some
:10:39. > :10:42.advice for young job`seekers. Our business correspondent Ian Reeve
:10:43. > :10:47.reports. For years the Duke of York was an
:10:48. > :10:52.official trade ambassador. No longer, but he says he still wants
:10:53. > :10:56.to help boost the UK economx. Today in Darlington College he was meeting
:10:57. > :11:03.those young people who might one day do just that. There is more in them
:11:04. > :11:06.than they think. Secondly, be inspired by what's around you and
:11:07. > :11:11.the opportunities and Darlington College has a lot of opporttnities.
:11:12. > :11:17.The other thing is please rdcognise that you yourself have to aspire to
:11:18. > :11:22.want to achieve what you can. These young engineers want to achheve jobs
:11:23. > :11:25.beneath the waves. The sub`sea sector is booming. There is a lot of
:11:26. > :11:31.opportunity and it can rangd from many different things, whether it's
:11:32. > :11:35.oil and gas or looking at wreckages of ships. The applications `re
:11:36. > :11:40.endless. The Duke also gave his Royal seal of approval to
:11:41. > :11:43.Darlington's Foundation for Jobs, a public and private sector project
:11:44. > :11:48.that tries to tackle youth unemployment. What the Duke is
:11:49. > :11:52.aiming to do around skills `nd youth unemployment ties in closelx with
:11:53. > :11:57.the aims of foundation for jobs which is to give our young people an
:11:58. > :12:02.idea of what jobs are out there to help them build the skills needed to
:12:03. > :12:07.compete for those jobs and to hopefully find The Way into the
:12:08. > :12:10.world of work. That particular initiative has cooked up hundreds of
:12:11. > :12:18.apprenticeships in the town. Surely well worth the princely prahse.
:12:19. > :12:22.You are watching Look North. Still to come all the weekend sport
:12:23. > :12:25.including more Cup action for Sunderland. Plus, everything is
:12:26. > :12:29.awesome. You have played with the bricks and seen the movie pdrhaps,
:12:30. > :12:32.well now the big exhibition comes to town.
:12:33. > :12:37.Still a few clouds around btt for most of us it's turned opt nice
:12:38. > :12:48.today. What will `` it's turned out nice today. What will the wdekend
:12:49. > :12:52.bring us? Later the full forecast. It's been called a treasure trove of
:12:53. > :12:55.First World War memorabilia. For 100 years, items in an attic in
:12:56. > :12:57.Houghton`le`Spring have been left to gather dust. But now historx
:12:58. > :13:06.enthusiasts have uncovered some amazing objects. Last year we
:13:07. > :13:08.reported how Vervia Todd's home was crammed with vintage dresses.
:13:09. > :13:11.Jonathan Swingler can now tdll us what else has been found.
:13:12. > :13:16.For up to 40 years the owner told people the stairs to the thhrd floor
:13:17. > :13:23.were damaged and dangerous. Vervia had made it off limits to vhsitors.
:13:24. > :13:27.She left hundreds of dresses but only in the last few months have the
:13:28. > :13:30.treasures in this room been uncovered. Every item has a story to
:13:31. > :13:34.tell here. Look at this watdr bottle. The story goes it bdlonged
:13:35. > :13:38.to uncle Bertie, and he was wearing it when a bullet went in here and
:13:39. > :13:41.came out here. We know he strvived, we are told this is a picture of
:13:42. > :13:46.him. Unfortunately, he went back to the front where he was later killed.
:13:47. > :13:52.Sheila has spent hours sorthng out this room. It was total chaos.
:13:53. > :13:58.Things piled everywhere. Evdrything covered in layers of many ydars of
:13:59. > :14:05.dust. It's taken from the bdginning of the year to sort these two rooms
:14:06. > :14:08.out. There's a World War I sleeping bag and to know that the person
:14:09. > :14:14.lived here slept in that bag at the front, he was in the Royal @rmy
:14:15. > :14:18.Medical Corp and that's so personal. Paula has spent time cleaning the
:14:19. > :14:22.discoveries. The propaganda poster is definitely my favourite piece.
:14:23. > :14:28.Just to think that he actually bought that from Belgium, brought it
:14:29. > :14:33.all the way here and it's still in mint perfect condition. Herd is she
:14:34. > :14:40.will will's `` Sheila's favourite item. Here is the tin, play
:14:41. > :14:47.Sunderland, it proclaims. When I managed to get it open I fotnd a
:14:48. > :14:52.full set of children's snap cards and very frightening they are, too.
:14:53. > :14:57.I mean, it would put you off Scotsmen for life, I think. It's
:14:58. > :15:01.tomorrow it's open to the ptblic for the first `` tomorrow it's open to
:15:02. > :15:10.the public for the first tile. Fascinating.
:15:11. > :15:14.Just 18 months after it lost its major backer, putting 200 jobs at
:15:15. > :15:16.risk, the Cumbrian World Championship`winning rally business
:15:17. > :15:18.M Sport has announced multi`million`pound expansion plans.
:15:19. > :15:21.The Cockermouth`based busindss wants to branch out into design and
:15:22. > :15:25.testing for domestic car makers as well as build new homes and an
:15:26. > :15:30.hotel. Mark McAlindon reports on a jobs boost for West Cumbria.
:15:31. > :15:35.This is no oily soot`stained mechanics. It's a spotless
:15:36. > :15:38.laboratory where some of thd industry's most highly skilled
:15:39. > :15:40.engineers are at work on vehicles worth hundreds of thousands of
:15:41. > :15:44.pounds. It's this kind of expertise that will be used in a new design
:15:45. > :15:51.and research centre to test new models for car manufacturers. It's
:15:52. > :15:56.not only the 100 new jobs btt 2 0 people here currently, that would
:15:57. > :16:01.safeguard that. It would crdate a one`stop shop for a manufacturer to
:16:02. > :16:05.come here and have the design, build, evaluation, the whold thing
:16:06. > :16:09.in one site which is probably going to be unique for the whole car
:16:10. > :16:13.industry in the UK really. But that's not all. If approved by
:16:14. > :16:17.planners, there would also be new homes here, a wind turbine `nd a
:16:18. > :16:22.hotel. All good news accordhng to those trying to boost the County's
:16:23. > :16:26.economy. When you get a centre of excellence and engineering facility
:16:27. > :16:37.such as the plans here it shows that the future is assured here `nd a lot
:16:38. > :16:44.of jobs are safeguard safegtard `` are safeguarded. This was bought by
:16:45. > :16:48.Malcolm Wilson to bring the business here and it was always important to
:16:49. > :16:52.him the business remained in Cumbria. His son Matthew agrees He
:16:53. > :16:57.is passionate about the are`, he loves the area. To obviouslx have
:16:58. > :17:02.this development in the are` is what he wants to do and keep it local
:17:03. > :17:05.basically. True to form too they're racing ahead with the busindss plan,
:17:06. > :17:14.building could start later this year.
:17:15. > :17:19.A great presence in Cumbria. I reckon you are going to h`ve to
:17:20. > :17:30.buy a flat in London soon, Geoff. If Sunderland end up back therd again.
:17:31. > :17:34.You keep sending me there! Just a week after the Capit`l One
:17:35. > :17:37.League Cup final ` their first game at Wembley since the play`off final
:17:38. > :17:41.of 1998 ` Sunderland are on the brink of another trip to thd
:17:42. > :17:45.national stadium. A win at Hull City on Sunday would see them through to
:17:46. > :17:49.the semi`finals of the FA Ctp. It's not the same as going there for a
:17:50. > :17:50.final ` but it's still a prdtty good incentive!
:17:51. > :17:53.The fans certainly enjoyed their day out in the capital, all 35,000 of
:17:54. > :17:56.them. The ones who couldn't get their hands on a ticket would like
:17:57. > :17:59.to see what all the fuss is about. The good news is, despite the
:18:00. > :18:07.distractions of a Premier Ldague relegation battle, the boss is keen
:18:08. > :18:12.to go back there, as well. Xou play one Cup final and next year Cup you
:18:13. > :18:15.are not going to go back and it s very difficult. Now for different
:18:16. > :18:21.reasons, for having two Cups, for the decision of playing the
:18:22. > :18:24.semifinals at Wembley, we are 9 minutes away. I think there is a
:18:25. > :18:31.little bit of feeling in thdre now we want to go back as soon `s
:18:32. > :18:37.possible. The Tigers have already beaten the Black Cats twice this
:18:38. > :18:43.season but their goal scorers last month are both Cup`tied and in both
:18:44. > :18:48.games the odds were herself in Hull's favour. Sunderland fhnished
:18:49. > :18:52.the last encounter with ten men and the previous one with nine. That's
:18:53. > :18:59.the challenge, let's play 10 against 11 and we see who is better on the
:19:00. > :19:04.day. If this game's important to Sunderland and their supporters the
:19:05. > :19:08.same goes for Hull and their former Black Cats boss. We have never been
:19:09. > :19:13.in the semifinal since 1930 and that puts it into context of exactly what
:19:14. > :19:18.it would mean to everybody. There's nothing like the FA Cup. If you can
:19:19. > :19:23.get to the stage where you get the semifinal stages, then belidve me,
:19:24. > :19:27.things that you look back on your career and think are really a
:19:28. > :19:35.special occasion and if you are fortunate to win it, it staxs with
:19:36. > :19:37.you a long time. Professional footballers ard often
:19:38. > :19:41.dismissed as wandering mercdnaries whose main concern is money ` rather
:19:42. > :19:45.than the clubs they play for. Well, of course, there are many who don't
:19:46. > :19:48.fall into this stereotype and one of them is the Carlisle United striker
:19:49. > :19:51.Lee Miller. He's waived a clause in his contract ` just to help the
:19:52. > :19:54.Blues' battle against releg`tion. Had he played in many more latch
:19:55. > :19:56.this is season and achieved an appearance target Lee Miller would
:19:57. > :19:58.have activated an automatic contract extension on the same money he
:19:59. > :20:03.currently earns. That would have ruled him out of a number of
:20:04. > :20:08.Carlisle's rip maining matches `` remaining matches as club m`y not be
:20:09. > :20:11.able to afford to pay him as much if they retain his services next
:20:12. > :20:15.season. But he can now play after telling his manager to remove the
:20:16. > :20:19.clause. He understood where we were. I made it clear I wasn't not going

:20:47. > :20:50.but money concerns are never far from the surface. When attendances
:20:51. > :20:55.are down as they have been this season for whatever reason we need
:20:56. > :20:58.to cut our cloth accordinglx and I think the club have been brhlliant
:20:59. > :21:02.doing that. Hopefully it paxs dividends at the end of the season

:21:07. > :21:10.Hopefully keep the majority of the players we want to get hold of and

:22:46. > :22:49.It's said that every person on the planet owns an average 94 pheces of
:22:50. > :22:52.Lego. Many of us played with it as children and the Danish building
:22:53. > :22:59.blocks are still a hugely popular toy. Yes, the recent releasd of The
:23:00. > :23:05.Lego Movie shows just how popular. I think mine are in a bag in the
:23:06. > :23:09.attic! And hot on the heels of that, a new
:23:10. > :23:11.exhibition devoted to the brightly coloured bricks is about to open on
:23:12. > :23:29.Tyneside. It's a real blockbuster. An
:23:30. > :23:36.exhibition made entirely out of Lego bricks, all built by up with man.
:23:37. > :23:40.They're all architectural icons from the world, ranging from small little
:23:41. > :23:52.ones like this, up to great big things like St Pancras.
:23:53. > :23:58.You arer in You are never `` you are never too old for Lego. I still like
:23:59. > :24:02.to take time to build ridictlous things, why not? The biggest model
:24:03. > :24:07.system this, a mini St `` the biggest model is this, a mini St
:24:08. > :24:12.Pancras Station. It took 500 hours to build. It's one of the bhg star
:24:13. > :24:17.pieces here. As you can see, it s nearly four metres long, two metres
:24:18. > :24:20.wide. There are lots of tinx little details the public can get their
:24:21. > :24:25.eyes on, as well. This is one of my favourites. A mini Buckingh`m Palace
:24:26. > :24:31.featuring the Royal Family waving after the marriage of Willi`m and
:24:32. > :24:37.Kate. The key message here is that Lego is
:24:38. > :24:41.for adults as much as children, a theme that echos The Movie, now a
:24:42. > :24:46.box office smash across the world. Are you a big kid at heart? Yes
:24:47. > :24:55.definitely, I get to play whth Lego every day for a living, what more
:24:56. > :24:59.could you ask for? Wonderful. My kids are talented at
:25:00. > :25:03.littering the carpet with the stuff! Yes, I remember it well. Now, great
:25:04. > :25:07.news or just good news with the weather?
:25:08. > :25:17.Yes, certainly on Saturday. Let s look at a sign of spring.
:25:18. > :25:18.Daffodils there. There is more sunshine tomorrow. Brightest on
:25:19. > :25:29.Saturday afternoon. Overnight it's dry and clear for a
:25:30. > :25:33.time. Jupiter dazzling throtgh the evening. After midnight clotd will
:25:34. > :25:37.build up and the breeze picks up. It's breezy by dawn with patchy rain
:25:38. > :25:46.starting to work in to the west Temperatures, colder than l`st
:25:47. > :25:51.night. Brisk winds from the south. First thing tomorrow it's gloomy and
:25:52. > :25:55.grey. Showers for north Yorkshire and parts of Tyneside, Weirside and
:25:56. > :26:00.the rest of the north`east, as well. For a time through the afternoon
:26:01. > :26:08.things start to brighten and through Saturday that we will see bright
:26:09. > :26:14.blue skies across the region. The highest temperatures so far this
:26:15. > :26:21.year. Those temperatures up into the high`50s Fahrenheit. It's breezy,
:26:22. > :26:24.but that won't spoil the dax, if you are sheltered from that wind it s
:26:25. > :26:33.particularly pleasant. Even in the breeze feeling milder than ht has
:26:34. > :26:37.done. It's fine and dry as we pause the scene there. Let's look now at
:26:38. > :26:42.the big picture. High presstre just for the day tomorrow. Then ` weak
:26:43. > :26:48.weather system works in frol the west on Sunday. That will bring
:26:49. > :26:51.cloud and rain for Cumbria. High pressure starts to build through the
:26:52. > :26:57.start of next week. I don't believe we have seen a high just like this
:26:58. > :27:02.across the UK since about October of last year. Really settling things
:27:03. > :27:06.down, some settled dry condhtions and sunshine to come through the
:27:07. > :27:10.start of next week. Let's look first at the end of the weekend. Drizzly
:27:11. > :27:15.and grey in Cumbria on Sund`y. But it stays mild and then as wd saw by
:27:16. > :27:19.Monday things are starting to brighten. Similar in the north`east
:27:20. > :27:25.but here much more chance of a dry day on Sunday, as well. Somd
:27:26. > :27:30.sunshine particularly for north Yorkshire anteside. The weather look
:27:31. > :27:35.`` and Teeside. The weather looking better for the start of next week.
:27:36. > :27:42.That's amazing the first high pressure in months. A domin`nt one
:27:43. > :27:45.across the UK. Great, yes. Good knigh.
