:00:00. > :00:09.eye on development is over the next couple of days.

:00:10. > :00:42.I can't think of a better way to celebrate than playing charity golf

:00:43. > :00:44.in the sunshine, and with a hangover.

:00:45. > :00:48.In sport, though, you lose some, and you lose some. York City fail to

:00:49. > :00:50.reach their Wembley promotion play`off final.

:00:51. > :00:53.And, while Gateshead did get to Wembley for the first time, their

:00:54. > :01:16.return to the Football League will have to wait at least another year.

:01:17. > :01:19.First tonight, there are calls for a police investigation into how

:01:20. > :01:22.Durham County Council handled the sale of an historic stately home.

:01:23. > :01:24.Windlestone Hall, near Rushyford, was sold three years ago

:01:25. > :01:39.Now, though, land on the estate could be sold to

:01:40. > :01:41.build a multi`million pound luxury housing complex.

:01:42. > :01:43.This evening, the council has been accused of being "incompetent."

:01:44. > :02:00.Windlestone Hall was sold for just ?241,000. A deal still questioned by

:02:01. > :02:03.one independent councillor who has today called for a police

:02:04. > :02:08.investigation. The council is in the process of

:02:09. > :02:14.closing five residential care homes. If Windlestone Hall had been

:02:15. > :02:17.marketed at its correct value at ?2 million, we may not have had to

:02:18. > :02:23.close those homes. Windlestone Hall was once home to

:02:24. > :02:29.Sir Anthony Eden. Three years since its sale, new concerns have been

:02:30. > :02:33.raised. This confidential document obtained by Look North reveals the

:02:34. > :02:39.new owner is now seeking interested parties to build up to 25 executive

:02:40. > :02:46.homes behind the gates. The development could be worth millions

:02:47. > :02:50.of pounds. And all from a small investment of ?241,000. At the hall

:02:51. > :02:58.today, its owner declined to comment. Unlike others, he had been

:02:59. > :03:03.left with growing concerns. Sold without conditions. There is no

:03:04. > :03:08.claw`back. It's as they could be making millions. This is a raw deal

:03:09. > :03:25.for the community. This is the statement the council gave. But

:03:26. > :03:31.residents fear that hundreds of tear `` cheese could be felled.

:03:32. > :03:36.Times have been tough for local authorities. When I looked at the

:03:37. > :03:41.transfer, there were no covenants or obligations on these people. You

:03:42. > :03:45.wonder why. Three years on, questions over Windlestone Hall are

:03:46. > :03:48.again being raised. The historic stately home, sold off cheaply by

:03:49. > :03:56.the council, that could be worth millions of pounds.

:03:57. > :04:04.Where does this leave us tonight? The county council has said no

:04:05. > :04:07.planning application has been received regarding Windlestone

:04:08. > :04:15.Hall. This confidential document gives a clear indication as to what

:04:16. > :04:19.the owners's intentions are. This is to attract potential developers.

:04:20. > :04:23.Inside, it says the vendors has already held talks with senior

:04:24. > :04:27.planners at the council. We have not been able to confirm that, but this

:04:28. > :04:32.is a story that is not going away for the council, especially tonight

:04:33. > :04:46.with one councillor calling for a police investigation.

:04:47. > :04:53.It may be warm and sunny but the advice from police is to take care

:04:54. > :04:57.beside rivers and lakes. Since last July, there have been a number of

:04:58. > :05:02.tragedies on the waterways. The latest young person to die is Luke

:05:03. > :05:05.Pearce, his body was found a week after going missing on a night out

:05:06. > :05:22.in Durham. It may be warm and sunny but the

:05:23. > :05:25.advice from police is to take care beside rivers and lakes. Since last

:05:26. > :05:28.July, there have been a number of tragedies on the waterways. The

:05:29. > :05:32.latest young person to die is Luke Pearce, his body was found a week

:05:33. > :05:34.after going missing on a night out in Durham.

:05:35. > :05:36.Police have confirmed the man's body which was recovered from the River

:05:37. > :05:43.Ouse yesterday is that of Doctor

:05:44. > :05:50.Luke Pearce was very popular, a gentle giant, very active, supported

:05:51. > :05:55.to other students. Passionate about sport.

:05:56. > :06:01.Having a very good year. The latest in a series of similar tragedies.

:06:02. > :06:05.The second river death to hit Durham University in recent months. In

:06:06. > :06:10.December, the body of an American student was found in the river.

:06:11. > :06:14.Police say Luke's case highlights the risk of water.

:06:15. > :06:21.What I would say is anyone around the river, a visitor or student in

:06:22. > :06:25.Durham, to make sure they act responsibly, particularly when they

:06:26. > :06:31.are consuming alcohol. Their perception of risk changes.

:06:32. > :06:35.The students we spoke to in Durham today Sake recent events have made

:06:36. > :06:37.them aware of the dangers posed to young revellers out drinking near

:06:38. > :06:45.the rivers. I don't go near the river. The boy

:06:46. > :06:50.who died was from my college. It is shocking. It has happened twice in a

:06:51. > :06:57.short space of time. It makes you think a lot more what you're doing

:06:58. > :07:05.when you are out. Safety in numbers, I suppose.

:07:06. > :07:10.We have known the dangers of being by the water and drinking.

:07:11. > :07:15.Nights out are a part of university life, but Luke Pearce is the second

:07:16. > :07:18.Durham University student to have drowned in the river in recent

:07:19. > :07:23.months, following a night of drinking. The university says it

:07:24. > :07:27.will be reviewing the work it does with students on alcohol awareness.

:07:28. > :07:36.A memorial event is now being planned by the University.

:07:37. > :07:39.The North East is the only region in Britain still getting poorer,

:07:40. > :07:42.according to the Office For National Statistics. The wealth of a typical

:07:43. > :07:46.home in the region has fallen by ?16,000 since 2006. The ONS says the

:07:47. > :07:50.North West and Yorkshire saw a rise in wealth of 11 or 11%, between 2006

:07:51. > :07:58.A public meeting takes place tonight to discuss this year's Appleby Horse

:07:59. > :08:00.Fair. It's traditionally the forum where locals discuss possible

:08:01. > :08:05.concerns about the event, which begins on the 5th of June. Last

:08:06. > :08:09.year, the horse fair saw nine arrests but, while it was relatively

:08:10. > :08:15.peaceful, some people complained about the mess left by travellers.

:08:16. > :08:17.A major police operation's been launched to stop terrorists, drug

:08:18. > :08:20.smugglers and people traffickers entering the UK through Yorkshire's

:08:21. > :08:22.coastal towns and villages. It's called Operation Kraken, and

:08:23. > :08:25.involves Special Branch officers working with the Royal Navy,

:08:26. > :08:56.Coastguards, Customs, and Inshore Fisheries. Ian White reports.

:08:57. > :09:05.We are protecting the borders of the United Kingdom. Counter`terrorism,

:09:06. > :09:10.serious organised. The threat from international crime, drug smuggling,

:09:11. > :09:14.Human Trafficking Centre. Organised gangs do not want to use

:09:15. > :09:20.ports like Dover or Hull to enter the UK. Instead, they look for an

:09:21. > :09:25.easier option. Now, different people working on the coast are being more

:09:26. > :09:29.vigilant, looking out for anything out of the ordinary.

:09:30. > :09:35.Suspicious people. Boats that have a name change. Entry and exit at times

:09:36. > :09:39.you would not expect. You may think there are more people than usual on

:09:40. > :09:43.a vessel. We had one incident at Whitby where

:09:44. > :09:51.an individual was arrested in a small vessel, following information

:09:52. > :09:56.from the community. He was arrested with five kilos of cocaine.

:09:57. > :09:59.Subsequent seizures led to ?80,000 in cash.

:10:00. > :10:04.Police and Border Force staff were on the streets of Whitby harbour to

:10:05. > :10:10.tell people what to look out for. When we are sailing, we are

:10:11. > :10:14.slow`moving, you do notice things that can be a little out of the

:10:15. > :10:21.ordinary, that seem strange. I have seen yachts sailing around

:10:22. > :10:26.that look suspicious, maybe some of these cargo boats stopping where

:10:27. > :10:32.they shouldn't be. You wonder exactly what they are up to.

:10:33. > :10:37.With major shipping lanes 12 miles off the Yorkshire coast, these

:10:38. > :10:38.patrols can call in the Royal Navy for back`up, determined to keep

:10:39. > :10:46.criminals away from our shores. You're watching Monday's Look North.

:10:47. > :10:49.Still to come: Mark Tulip with tonight's sport. Plus: Why did this

:10:50. > :11:00.movie star drop in on her old school It could be a slow start with the

:11:01. > :11:02.weather tomorrow. Some sunshine, but heavy, under Reid downpours. Join me

:11:03. > :11:14.shortly for the details. Hours after their double Bafta

:11:15. > :11:17.triumph, Ant and Dec joined fellow celebrities at a charity golf day in

:11:18. > :11:20.Northumberland. They were raising money for the Children's Heart Unit

:11:21. > :11:23.at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. Last year, the event,

:11:24. > :11:26.plus the evening's fundraising hopes to hit ?200,000. We'll be

:11:27. > :11:30.speaking live to Ant and Dec in a moment. But first, Adrian Pitches

:11:31. > :11:33.reports from the golf course at It was Strictly Come Golfing for

:11:34. > :11:41.Anton Du Beke, one of the first celebs to tee off this morning. He

:11:42. > :11:45.was followed in quick succession by footballers, fellow TV

:11:46. > :11:46.personalities, and even one professional golfer. Graham Wylie,

:11:47. > :11:49.who owns Close House, has a very personal reason for organising this

:11:50. > :11:53.annual fundraiser. My daughter Keira is a heart

:11:54. > :11:59.patient. She had operations at two days old, six months, and two years.

:12:00. > :12:09.Good news story, she?s fine, needs one more operation. Because of that,

:12:10. > :12:16.it's personal to me. That's why I support this charity because the

:12:17. > :12:21.hospital has done some great work, saved the lives of loads of

:12:22. > :12:27.children. Graham Wylie is a great friend

:12:28. > :12:31.through racing connections. I came last year and saw what a terrific

:12:32. > :12:42.effort he was making, raising money for the children?s hospital, add the

:12:43. > :12:46.heart unit in Newcastle. Great event, when you?re doing

:12:47. > :12:53.something, the weather is fabulous. Great surroundings, nice people.

:12:54. > :12:56.It's a pleasure to do it. One team had to have two celebrity

:12:57. > :13:00.captains, fresh from their Baftas triumph in London last night.

:13:01. > :13:03.We?re here to support the charity, Hit a few balls. Raise

:13:04. > :13:13.money. Raise money for the unit, they do some fantastic work. We?ve

:13:14. > :13:24.visited the kids and families. chance,

:13:25. > :14:03.but I've had a look at the pin. Tonight, it doesn't get any better

:14:04. > :14:10.than this, being on Look North! It doesn't. This is the highlight of my

:14:11. > :14:14.weekend. You have won so many awards. What we want to know is who

:14:15. > :14:25.keeps all the trophies and cleans them? We keep them. He cleans them.

:14:26. > :14:31.We were lucky to get one each, we won two. We were over the moon. To

:14:32. > :14:35.win the first award of the night was fantastic, but to walk away with

:14:36. > :14:41.another one, we are thrilled to bits. It is a shame you are winning

:14:42. > :14:48.them for the other side! How do you keep the enthusiasm going? It's not

:14:49. > :14:55.like a job for us. I get to go to work every day with my best mate.

:14:56. > :14:59.Who is he? We get to mess about on the telly, we get paid for it. We're

:15:00. > :15:07.having such fun. It is very childish really. You are flying the flag for

:15:08. > :15:12.the North East as well. It is a great charity we have been playing

:15:13. > :15:19.golf for. We have the dinner this evening. And we will celebrate hard

:15:20. > :15:27.again tonight. That is the plan. What next, back to work? Back to

:15:28. > :15:34.work, yes. We are going on the road, if you nights at Newcastle

:15:35. > :15:38.Arena in August. Then we are off to the jungle again. No rest for the

:15:39. > :15:58.wicked. We have been pretty wicked, I think!

:15:59. > :16:05.Teeside actor Charlotte Riley returned to the north`east today and

:16:06. > :16:06.was reunited with the teacher she credits with her athletic prowess in

:16:07. > :16:15.her latest movie. Charlotte Riley used to be one of

:16:16. > :16:17.them. She's now a successful stage and screen actress who's taken time

:16:18. > :16:35.out of her crazy filming schedule to I will always come back here.

:16:36. > :16:40.Getting on the chain, from London, getting off at Darlington, it is the

:16:41. > :16:44.best feeling. That is saying something considering she is in the

:16:45. > :16:46.latest Tom Cruise blockbuster and is engaged to Tom Hardy.

:16:47. > :16:54.We thought you might be bringing your other half with you. He is

:16:55. > :16:59.working hard, prepping for a film in London. Sorry! No apologies

:17:00. > :17:04.necessary. The school turned out in force for their famous former

:17:05. > :17:07.student. It is inspirational when a former student who has achieved so

:17:08. > :17:14.much comes back. For her to come here, a small school in Teeside, it

:17:15. > :17:18.is great. Brilliant she is here, especially for the kids in the

:17:19. > :17:23.school who are into drama like me. When Charlotte left 14 years ago,

:17:24. > :17:29.her former PE teacher had no idea that people would end up acting and

:17:30. > :17:43.would return as a celebrity. Netball, goal defence, like a

:17:44. > :17:46.gazelle. The film I just did, the training I did, it came in useful,

:17:47. > :17:55.all that base level exercise you did with me. When you get your Oscar, we

:17:56. > :18:00.know who you are going to thank. From Stockton schoolgirl to rising

:18:01. > :18:02.star, but that's to her strong North East ties, her feet are strongly ``

:18:03. > :18:10.firmly on the ground. We were lucky enough to have him in

:18:11. > :18:15.the region for 12 years. Ex`Newcastle Falcons and England

:18:16. > :18:17.fly`half Jonny Wilkinson will retire from rugby union straight after

:18:18. > :18:20.Saturday's European Cup final between his French club Toulon and

:18:21. > :18:23.Saracens. Yes, a terrific career, blighted somewhat by injuries. But

:18:24. > :18:26.one which will forever be remembered by that last`minute drop goal to win

:18:27. > :18:30.the 2003 World Cup. All the result of endless kicking practice on the

:18:31. > :18:33.Kingston Park pitch. One of the most Gateshead football fans have spent

:18:34. > :18:45.the last 24 hours coming to terms with the fact that their club will

:18:46. > :18:48.still be in the non`league Conference Premier next season. The

:18:49. > :18:51.Heed lost yesterday's play`off final 2`1 at Wembley against Cambridge

:18:52. > :19:01.United who are now promoted to The first trip to Wembley in the

:19:02. > :19:04.club's history, the chance to climb back into the Football League after

:19:05. > :19:07.more than 50 years. This was always going to be an emotional afternoon

:19:08. > :19:09.for Gateshead. Sadly, the full`time tears were of disappointment, a

:19:10. > :19:26.14`match unbeaten run coming to an These things happen. It is

:19:27. > :19:37.disappointing but we live to fight again. The team have done is really

:19:38. > :19:41.proud. Around 7000 fans arrived. Kicked out of the football league

:19:42. > :19:45.all those years ago, never before at Wembley, they weren't going to miss

:19:46. > :19:51.this one. I was there when they went out of the league, so it would be

:19:52. > :19:57.tremendous to get back in. Just getting here is brilliant, if we

:19:58. > :20:02.could win, it would be so smashing for the town. I have supported

:20:03. > :20:07.Gateshead since the year they were knocked out of the league. I never

:20:08. > :20:12.thought I would walk down Wembley Way seeing them. The game turned on

:20:13. > :20:16.to members of magic from Brian Donaldson, born in Newcastle, he

:20:17. > :20:24.spent last season at Gateshead before switching to Cambridge. His

:20:25. > :20:26.cross set up the opener for Lee Hughes. Donaldson curled in a

:20:27. > :20:35.fabulous free kick to break every heart in Tyneside. What more do you

:20:36. > :20:39.want? I am so happy for everyone in the club. A former Gateshead player,

:20:40. > :20:46.special to do it against your old club? Not really, I feel terrible

:20:47. > :20:50.for them. They are good lads. Playing the more attractive

:20:51. > :20:55.football, Gateshead through on all three substitutes. Two of them

:20:56. > :21:00.combined to put the final back in the balance. This header was parried

:21:01. > :21:04.only as far as Jack Lester. It looked as if Arsenal wouldn't be the

:21:05. > :21:06.only ones to come from behind at the weekend. But the equaliser would not

:21:07. > :21:11.come. Their dream died and the long come. Their dream died and the long

:21:12. > :21:15.wait for league football will stretch on for another season.

:21:16. > :21:20.Disappointment in the Tyneside camp but the promise of better days

:21:21. > :21:25.ahead. We will take it on the chin. It is a long way back up as we know.

:21:26. > :21:30.I have said to them, good players, strong men bounce back and we have

:21:31. > :21:40.to do that next season. Cambridge achieved the same Wembley

:21:41. > :21:45.double. Matty Plebgate Fleetwood a one goal lead against his old club

:21:46. > :21:50.to take them into the second leg of their league play`off semifinal.

:21:51. > :22:00.They couldn't find the net in a battling goalless draw.

:22:01. > :22:06.Travis Dickenson retained his English light weight title and

:22:07. > :22:10.reached the final of a televised knockout tournament, despite being

:22:11. > :22:15.floored by his opponent three times in the same round. He started well,

:22:16. > :22:21.and knocked down Matty Klotz and twice, but he looked a beaten man in

:22:22. > :22:24.the fifth round. He was doubled up in agony on the canvas. The referee

:22:25. > :22:42.stopped the fight in round seven. Durham are struggling in Somerset

:22:43. > :22:45.after being bowled out for 155. Scott Borthwick top scored with 59.

:22:46. > :23:03.Rain stopped play. If any rain on the way?

:23:04. > :23:07.It hasn't been all plain sailing. A combination of heat and humidity,

:23:08. > :23:12.triggering thunderstorms. That could be the case tomorrow. A slow start

:23:13. > :23:20.tomorrow, grey skies. Some sunshine breaking out. An increased risk of

:23:21. > :23:25.heavy, thundery showers later. A few showers around today. Cumbria bore

:23:26. > :23:31.the brunt of the thundery downpours this afternoon. They will become

:23:32. > :23:36.more confined to the coast in the next hour and die away overnight. An

:23:37. > :23:40.easterly breeze. Low cloud will drift in from the North Sea. A

:23:41. > :23:48.mystique end to the night. Temperatures should stay in double

:23:49. > :23:53.figures. A slow, grey starts to many eastern areas tomorrow morning.

:23:54. > :23:58.Sunshine in the West. The showers will bubble up. We will see some

:23:59. > :24:03.sunny spells in many places but there is an increased risk of

:24:04. > :24:10.thundery showers. The afternoon temperatures are not as warm as

:24:11. > :24:19.today. 22 Celsius. Always cooler along the north`east coast with the

:24:20. > :24:22.easterly breeze. A range of afternoon temperatures and an

:24:23. > :24:27.increased risk of showers with a Met Office warning to be aware of that

:24:28. > :24:35.risk of standing water and localised flooding. That is tomorrow.

:24:36. > :24:41.Wednesday, it is quieter, we are in between weather systems. Thursday is

:24:42. > :24:45.a different story, the weather front brings some very wet weather for

:24:46. > :24:51.some of us. Back to a showery picture on Friday. Always the risk

:24:52. > :24:56.of some showers. Mostly dried tomorrow. The risk of heavy,

:24:57. > :25:05.thundery downpours in the afternoon. Wednesday is brighter but

:25:06. > :25:09.cooler than it has been. Friday, most places will become drier. Watch

:25:10. > :25:11.out for those showers tomorrow afternoon. It should still feel

:25:12. > :25:21.warm. That's all for now. Thank you for

:25:22. > :25:52.watching. We are back the same time tomorrow. Goodbye.

:25:56. > :25:59.'And yet it has greater impact on our everyday lives than anything

:26:00. > :26:03.'We need to put this issue to bed now,

:26:04. > :26:05.'and not leave it for another generation.'
