:02:17. > :02:21.I first saw them and I thought, I'm in the paper, I'm famous for a few
:02:22. > :02:28.minutes. Then I thought, well actually, I'm well known around the
:02:29. > :02:34.area, so someone's going to recognise us. I'm arresting you on
:02:35. > :02:37.suspicion of violent disorder. He admitted his part in what he had
:02:38. > :02:43.done. Why he had done it. He was part of a mob. He got caught up in
:02:44. > :02:48.it and didn't know how to get out of it. Gutted I thought I would have
:02:49. > :02:56.got away with it. Many in the mob were disturbingly young. 20 of those
:02:57. > :02:59.arrested were between 12 and 17. It was a school teacher who told the
:03:00. > :03:07.police. Because he is 16, this boy can't be identified. He threw four
:03:08. > :03:11.missiles. I was horrified in him. But he has followed. He has thought
:03:12. > :03:18.it was funny and like everything else, and joined in. I just thought,
:03:19. > :03:24.why did you do it? Why copy off people? A lot of people feel they
:03:25. > :03:30.can engage in antisocial acts, given the protection of the anom imty.

:06:04. > :06:14.Her mother contacted Look North after hearing of the latest attacks.
:06:15. > :06:19.Damian O'Neil reports. Seven`year`old Grace was enjoying
:06:20. > :06:25.her easter weekend when she was attacked by a dog which belonged to
:06:26. > :06:29.a neighbour. The dog come up to Grace and she started stroking it
:06:30. > :06:33.and it just went for her. I didn't know what was going on at the time,
:06:34. > :06:41.until I was coming in. I seen her coming across the green by herself.
:06:42. > :06:46.And she had a bit of kitchen towel against her face. I wept to see what
:06:47. > :06:52.`` went to see what happened to her. When I pulled the towel away, I just
:06:53. > :06:55.felt sick. The dog had attacked another child four years before, but
:06:56. > :06:59.no prosecution was brought and the dog was not destroyed. Grace's
:07:00. > :07:05.parents were flabbergasted to learn they too had no legal redress
:07:06. > :07:09.available. The police met us at the hospital. And basically said that we
:07:10. > :07:15.couldn't do anything about it, because it was on private land. So I
:07:16. > :07:20.asked the question, I went what if the dog had killed her? He says, we
:07:21. > :07:24.still couldn't have forced them to put the dog down. A change in the
:07:25. > :07:32.law will allow prosecutions to happen, but the local MP says this
:07:33. > :07:37.is about more than legislation. Japanese dogs like this were bred to
:07:38. > :07:45.fight bears. Why do people want to keep this type of animal in a house,
:07:46. > :07:49.in Ashton, where `` arkington, where they want to be fighting bears. It
:07:50. > :07:53.is beyond me. The legislation has come too late for Grace and her
:07:54. > :07:57.family. But from the end of the month any owner whose dog attacks
:07:58. > :08:02.someone will be liable to prosecution. Even fit happens on ``

:08:12. > :08:16.Now with European elections in less than a fortnight the party big

:08:20. > :08:23.in Newcastle focussing not on Europe`but what he calls a "cost of
:08:24. > :08:26.living crisis" in Britain at the moment. But his opponents say Labour
:08:27. > :08:33.would leave the region worse off. Here's our Political Correspondent
:08:34. > :08:41.Mark Denten. Newcastle's granger Market and a chap looking not to
:08:42. > :08:45.snap up a bargain, but bag some voters. Ed Milliband's theme, what
:08:46. > :08:49.he calls the cost`of`living crisis. In a year's time he hopes to be
:08:50. > :08:54.moving his furniture into Downing Street and one factor is whether he
:08:55. > :08:58.can convince you the voter that you will be better off under Labour.
:08:59. > :09:03.Labour that is showing how we will act to tack that will cost of living
:09:04. > :09:07.crisis. Freezing energy bills. Putting our young people back to
:09:08. > :09:15.work. Taking action to build homes again in this country. Taking action
:09:16. > :09:21.on the minimum wage. UKIP say they're gunning for Labour voters.
:09:22. > :09:27.Neil Hamilton was in Sunderland today. Ed Milliband was Secretary of
:09:28. > :09:33.State who introduced the climate change act that has put ?150 a year
:09:34. > :09:37.on everybody's electricity bill. If anybody is responsible, it is the
:09:38. > :09:41.last Labour Government. The coalition parties say the economy is
:09:42. > :09:47.recovering and he is not the man to fix it. We don't want boom and bust,
:09:48. > :09:53.which Ed Balls and Ed Milliband were the creators of. We want long`term
:09:54. > :09:57.growth. Jobs are up and employment is up. We can turn this country
:09:58. > :10:02.around and the Conservatives are leading the way. The real crisis
:10:03. > :10:06.will be if we don't get and keep the jobs in the north`east that depends
:10:07. > :10:10.on us being in Europe and Labour has been weak on Europe and the Tories
:10:11. > :10:20.and UKIP will take us out and that will cost jobs. A couple of weeks
:10:21. > :10:27.until the European elections, but 362 shopping days until the general
:10:28. > :10:33.election. Cost`of`living crisis or recovery? His fate depends on your
:10:34. > :10:36.answers to those questions. Well earlier the Labour Leader, Ed
:10:37. > :10:39.Miliband, came into the Look North studio. With UKIP wanting us out of
:10:40. > :10:42.Europe, and the Conservatives wanting a referendum, I asked him to
:10:43. > :10:46.clarify just where Labour stands on the issue. Definitely staying in, we
:10:47. > :10:49.should stay in Europe, because it's good for jobs and investment but we
:10:50. > :10:53.should change Europe so it really works to tackle the biggest single
:10:54. > :10:56.issue we face at these elections and next year at the general election,
:10:57. > :11:00.which is the cost`of`living crisis facing so many families. And we can
:11:01. > :11:02.make Europe work better to do that. Whether that is on youth
:11:03. > :11:07.unemployment, or immigration, or all of other issues we face. UKIP is
:11:08. > :11:10.obviously going for voters in what some people would still say is your
:11:11. > :11:14.heartland area ` northern, working class voters. They seem to be liking
:11:15. > :11:21.UKIP more and more and their message obviously is very much let's get out
:11:22. > :11:25.of Europe. Well let's see what the voters conclude in two weeks time. I
:11:26. > :11:28.think the choice is this, Labour's saying we're going to take real
:11:29. > :11:32.action on energy prices, with an energy price freeze. On child care `
:11:33. > :11:35.more free child care for three and four`year`olds, paid for by an
:11:36. > :11:38.increase in taxes on the banks. Taking action on housing. The bread
:11:39. > :11:42.and butter issues that so many people in the north`east are facing.
:11:43. > :11:46.Now, UKIP is saying get out of Europe. I don't think that is good
:11:47. > :11:51.for the country. But they're also saying ` and Nigel Farage has said
:11:52. > :11:54.this ` he wants to keep the flame of Thatcherism alive. Now, I don't
:11:55. > :11:58.think that is what working people north`east want to see ` bigger cuts
:11:59. > :12:02.than the Tories, tax cuts for the rich. So let's see the choices the
:12:03. > :12:06.voters make, but I think that is the choice that people face on May 22nd.
:12:07. > :12:10.But we can't get away from the fact that UKIP had a rise in popularity
:12:11. > :12:13.in the last elections in 2009 ` their vote was up something like
:12:14. > :12:17.3.2% and Labour's was down 9.1%. It was taking your voters back then.
:12:18. > :12:21.What is going to happen now? Well, I hope we do better than we did back
:12:22. > :12:24.then. Look, I think there is deep discontent with the way the
:12:25. > :12:28.country's run. And I agree with that. People think the country's run
:12:29. > :12:32.for a a few people at the top, not for most people. And I don't believe
:12:33. > :12:35.that UKIP has the answers, you see. I believe we have the answers, real
:12:36. > :12:38.answers, concrete answers to the problems people have in their life.
:12:39. > :12:42.Abolishing the bedroom tax. Making other changes that will make a real
:12:43. > :12:45.difference to people. But there have been differences already made, we
:12:46. > :12:48.are seeing signs of a recovery, even here where the picture was bleak.
:12:49. > :12:53.Our unemployment is coming down. We have more women in work. We seem to
:12:54. > :12:57.have more jobs. We seem to have more confidence developing now and that
:12:58. > :13:00.is under the coalition government. Well, I welcome any improvements
:13:01. > :13:03.that there are, but when David Cameron and George Osborne says the
:13:04. > :13:07.economy's fixed, I really don't think that fits with what people in
:13:08. > :13:11.the north`east see. What they see is a recovery that too often works only
:13:12. > :13:15.for the few and we need a country that works for the many. Now, we
:13:16. > :13:18.need big changes ` big changes in our banking system and skills for
:13:19. > :13:22.our young people and getting young people back to work to really make a
:13:23. > :13:25.difference to that. That's what Labour offers, both at local council
:13:26. > :13:28.level, in Europe and at the general election next year. Now, you have
:13:29. > :13:32.come down from Scotland for this interview, thank you very much, at
:13:33. > :13:35.which you were saying at a conference in Scotland today that
:13:36. > :13:37.Scotland, even if it votes no for independence, you would consider
:13:38. > :13:40.giving Scotland extra powers. Now that concerns our region, because we
:13:41. > :13:43.would be sandwiched in between Scotland, given more powers and in
:13:44. > :13:51.between the south, obviously more affluent and enriched by HS2. What
:13:52. > :13:54.are our prospects? Well, I think the north`east needs more powers too.
:13:55. > :13:57.Devolution works for Scotland, then it should work for the north`east of
:13:58. > :14:00.England as well. More power over economic development. More powers
:14:01. > :14:03.over skills. More powers over transport. We are far too
:14:04. > :14:05.centralised a country with all the power residing in London. So
:14:06. > :14:08.absolutely, it's part of Labour's agenda. Not just devolution to
:14:09. > :14:11.Scotland, but devolution to areas like the north`east as well, so it
:14:12. > :14:17.can take responsibility, drive economic development and make a
:14:18. > :14:21.difference to this region. Could we control our own taxes under a Labour
:14:22. > :14:25.Government? We would need to do that if Scotland has those powers. I
:14:26. > :14:28.think it makes sense to have over all the main taxes controlled by
:14:29. > :14:31.Parliament and the same across England. Indeed they will be
:14:32. > :14:35.generally the same across the UK, with some changes possible in
:14:36. > :14:38.Scotland. But I think there are lots of other ways in which we can make a
:14:39. > :14:43.difference to economic development and the real powers that matter. For
:14:44. > :14:47.example, the north`east is keeping more of the revenue that comes from
:14:48. > :14:50.taxes, that comes from rates and so on to make a real difference and
:14:51. > :14:55.drive that economic development that we need to see. OK, Ed Milliband

:16:05. > :16:07.cheesemaker's doubling production at its Hawes creamery, a move which
:16:08. > :16:10.will see millions of pounds pumped into the local economy. Wensleydale
:16:11. > :16:14.Dairy Products ` which faced closure 20 years ago ` is spending ?5
:16:15. > :16:17.million to expand the business and make a big push into exports. Our
:16:18. > :16:25.Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports. They have made cheese in
:16:26. > :16:29.Hawes since 1897, its manufacture never changing down the years.
:16:30. > :16:32.You're about to witness the birth of a cheese. A Wensleydale cheese.
:16:33. > :16:37.After the milk has been pasteurised and the whey drawn off, it goes into
:16:38. > :16:42.a vat to be raked and stirred and stirred and raked until the milk
:16:43. > :16:45.thickens. But the creamery here isn't standing still. The plan is to
:16:46. > :16:49.double production and turn out 6,000 tonnes of cheese a year. ?5 million
:16:50. > :16:54.is being invested in a new extension. There is a growing
:16:55. > :16:56.sophistication I think amongst consumers who demand authentic
:16:57. > :17:00.product. We have plans to export more and so we need to get the
:17:01. > :17:08.capacity in place in order to meet that demand. About ?25 million will
:17:09. > :17:11.be pumped into the local economy when the creamery expands, but it's
:17:12. > :17:14.already a big economic driver in Wensleydale. 230,000 visitors come
:17:15. > :17:18.here every year and that is good news for Matthew, just one of the 44
:17:19. > :17:26.local farmers who sell their milk to the creamery ` thankful that he can.
:17:27. > :17:30.?? FORCEDCYAN I think we probably the majority of producers would be
:17:31. > :17:33.getting a lower price and probably it would make it unsustainable and
:17:34. > :17:41.we wouldn't be able to continue in milk production. And soon the
:17:42. > :17:45.creamery will need more milk, there will be more cheese made and the big
:17:46. > :17:57.push to export it ` getting the Wensleydale name and brand known
:17:58. > :18:01.worldwide. Now Jeff tells me, because I'm informed about such
:18:02. > :18:06.things, that we are nearing the end of the football season. Yes, that is

:18:41. > :18:43.second half of the season, we wasn't. I wasn't good enough and the
:18:44. > :18:47.results weren't good enough for this club. And we need to face that to
:18:48. > :18:51.find the solution. And that's what I'll be honest and frank as I can
:18:52. > :18:55.be, as the manager. And what I think we could do to improve that and I'm
:18:56. > :19:05.sure there'll be opinions from Mike about what I should do better as

:19:37. > :19:40.would cost his side dear? If you want to be a good keeper, you need
:19:41. > :19:46.to react to your own is our job. It can happen. That
:19:47. > :19:51.night I thought I was playing well as well. For 89 minutes and mistakes
:19:52. > :19:56.happen to anyone. It is the way you react which is the most important
:19:57. > :19:59.thing. Mannone's saves in the next game at Chelsea kick`started a four
:20:00. > :20:02.match winning run. From third choice at the Emirates to Wearside wonder
:20:03. > :20:08.via a Wembley final, it's been quite a journey. I wanted them to give me
:20:09. > :20:13.a chance. At the start I didn't play for some reason. But I kept
:20:14. > :20:18.believing this was my season. Thankfully at the end I'm sitting
:20:19. > :20:24.down here and I can talk about a very special season. Now he hopes
:20:25. > :20:27.the team, many of whom are out of contract or on loan can be kept
:20:28. > :20:31.together. Otherwise for some, Sunday's final game against Swansea
:20:32. > :20:34.will be their swansong. York City take on Fleetwood Town tomorrow
:20:35. > :20:38.night, in front of a sell`out crowd at Bootham Crescent. It's the first
:20:39. > :20:44.leg of the League Two play`off semi`final. And despite finishing
:20:45. > :20:48.three places and five points behind Fleetwood, the Minstermen go into
:20:49. > :20:51.the game unbeaten in 17 matches. We put ourselves in a fantastic
:20:52. > :20:56.position. We are going to give it everything we have got. We know
:20:57. > :21:01.we're against a good side. But we are a good side on our day. So as
:21:02. > :21:05.long as we go out and perform to the maximum of what we can do and do the
:21:06. > :21:08.club and the city proud, then everything else will look after
:21:09. > :21:11.itself. On to a team who've already made it to Wembley. Two years ago
:21:12. > :21:14.they suffered heartache there, but tomorrow, Northern League West
:21:15. > :21:17.Auckland are hoping to beat Sholing from the Wessex League Premier
:21:18. > :21:21.League and become the latest in a long line of north east clubs to
:21:22. > :21:25.bring the FA Vase back to the region. Dawn Thewlis caught up with
:21:26. > :21:28.them ahead of the big day, on a recent visit to the home of
:21:29. > :21:32.football. To reach Wembley for the second time in two years is quite an
:21:33. > :21:35.achievement, but the last time West Auckland were at the home of
:21:36. > :21:39.football they suffered the ignominy of defeat at the hands of local
:21:40. > :21:42.rivals Dunston and it seems time hasn't yet healed the hurt. No, it
:21:43. > :21:46.feels like a very recent nightmare to be honest with you. I'm reminded
:21:47. > :21:50.of it every day in my own head and it's something I want to put right
:21:51. > :21:53.and the players that were involved at the time are probably stronger
:21:54. > :21:57.because of that occasion. It's a massive stage to lose on. It's a
:21:58. > :22:01.great stage to win on, but it's a huge stage to lose on. After the
:22:02. > :22:04.game it was just like your heart just dropped. Obviously you come to
:22:05. > :22:08.win. It's horrible losing any game, but losing at Wembley and having the
:22:09. > :22:12.local rivalry from home as well, so it was a little bit of a sickener
:22:13. > :22:15.really. This year West have a different dressing room ` a good
:22:16. > :22:18.omen, according to the manager. They will travel down a day early and
:22:19. > :22:22.familiarise themselves, so they won't be overwhelmed like they were
:22:23. > :22:25.in 2012. You sort of get caught in taking photos and walking around,
:22:26. > :22:31.seeing your family and hopefully this time we might concentrate a bit
:22:32. > :22:34.more on the game. As soon as they knew they had qualified for Wembley,
:22:35. > :22:38.West Auckland conceded the League. They tried winning both two years
:22:39. > :22:42.ago and finished runners up on both occasions. But they have got a huge
:22:43. > :22:46.backlog of games before the final ` one every two days roughly ` and for
:22:47. > :22:49.these lads who have day jobs as well, it has been tough fitting
:22:50. > :22:53.everything in. Going to work all day, getting straight in, going to
:22:54. > :22:57.football and like having no tea. And getting in on a night and like after
:22:58. > :23:00.a game I can't sleep. And then back up again at 6 o'clock in the
:23:01. > :23:04.morning. And when the games having coming in like three and four times
:23:05. > :23:08.a week it's a real struggle like. And for me girlfriend as well. I bet
:23:09. > :23:12.you haven't seen much of her? No. She's not happy like! But if this
:23:13. > :23:16.historic club win, it will all have been worth it. It means everything,
:23:17. > :23:20.I think the population of the town is not much more over 3,000 and a
:23:21. > :23:24.year ago we brought about 95% of the them down. The town back us. We're
:23:25. > :23:28.renowned for being the first World Cup winners ` twice! Over 100 years
:23:29. > :23:31.ago that was and it's a bit of a millstone around our necks, because
:23:32. > :23:35.I don't think we've won much since. It would be my biggest achievement
:23:36. > :23:39.in life really, not just in football. So this is what it's all
:23:40. > :23:43.about ` the FA Vase ` and I must say I'm highly tempted to pick it up.
:23:44. > :23:46.But you know how superstitious I am. Let's face it though, who wouldn't
:23:47. > :23:50.want this in their trophy cabinet and if West Auckland can make it
:23:51. > :23:53.second time lucky on May 10th, this impressive piece of silverware will
:23:54. > :23:57.be going back to the north`east for the sixth year running. BBC Tees
:23:58. > :24:00.will have the action live from Wembley ` all the build`up from 2
:24:01. > :24:04.o'clock. And we'll have a match report in our tea`time Look North
:24:05. > :24:07.bulletin. Well West Auckland aren't the only one of our teams going to
:24:08. > :24:10.Wembley this weekend! Newcastle Eagles are in the final of the
:24:11. > :24:13.basketball playoffs at Wembley Arena. After a dramatic win over
:24:14. > :24:17.Leicester Riders in the semi finals ` which saw the Eagles overcome an
:24:18. > :24:20.11 point deficit ` they'll now face Worcester Wolves for the chance to
:24:21. > :24:23.claim their 19th trophy in ten years. The Eagles already have the
:24:24. > :24:27.Championship title, but for Fab Flournoy ` who's won Coach of the
:24:28. > :24:35.Year for the fifth time ` this is the big one! Wembley is a special
:24:36. > :24:38.place in the sporting world. It's simply known as Wembley, you know
:24:39. > :24:42.you don't turn around and say London, you say Wembley. As soon as
:24:43. > :24:45.you say Wembley it's iconic and even knows what Wembley is and everyone
:24:46. > :24:48.knows what it means. Wembley is the road and the destination of
:24:49. > :25:02.champions and winners. That's what we're going down there for. And good
:25:03. > :25:09.luck to them all. We heard about the weather this weekend No, miserable?
:25:10. > :25:24.Here is the happy news with Paul. Full of surprises. Some surprising
:25:25. > :25:37.weather pictures. One viewer saw this rare Hoopey And. Dolphins off
:25:38. > :25:41.the shore of Marsden bay. Well the weekend is showery and unsettled.
:25:42. > :25:46.There will be some sunshine, but a few heavy showers too. That regular
:25:47. > :25:52.mixed bag. Now tonight one or two showers dying aWay then most `` away
:25:53. > :25:59.and then mostly dry. But that weather front spreads cloud and rain
:26:00. > :26:04.across most parts. Temperatures around seven Celsius. Tomorrow
:26:05. > :26:09.morning it will be a wet and windy start. But that more persistent rain
:26:10. > :26:13.should clear eastwards through the morning, leaving a mix of sunny
:26:14. > :26:18.spells and scattered showers. Some showers will be slow`moving and
:26:19. > :26:21.heavy. There could be a rumble of thunder among them. Be prepared for
:26:22. > :26:26.a heavy shower if you're out and about. Just about anywhere could
:26:27. > :26:34.catch one. Between the showers there will be some bright spells and
:26:35. > :26:39.temperature ups to 16 Celsius. The wind generally south`westerly,
:26:40. > :26:42.becoming brisk and gusty near the heavier showers. Through the rest of
:26:43. > :26:46.the weekend, low pressure is in charge. By Sunday the winds are
:26:47. > :26:51.coming from the north`west and still a showery picture. But cooler. And
:26:52. > :26:56.into the middle of next weebgt before things set `` week before
:26:57. > :27:00.things settle town. If you're out and about over the weekend,
:27:01. > :27:06.Saturday, heavy showers, some bright spells. But the heavy showers never
:27:07. > :27:13.far away. Quite breezy as well and as the breeze turns north Westly on
:27:14. > :27:17.Sunday, the temperatures dip. The showers do tend to fizzle out on
:27:18. > :27:22.Monday and Tuesday sees more brighter skies and sunshine and less
:27:23. > :27:28.showers. That is the way your weather is looking. Thank you. Roll
:27:29. > :27:39.on Tuesday then. Good for the gardens. That is it from us tonight.
:27:40. > :27:42.Paul and I are back at 10. 25. Have a great weekend. Goodbye.
