She's been rehomed with new owners and they still can't believd | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
I have kept the press cuttings and what he did to that little dog | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
Sometimes I will sit and look at her and I will think, | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
These attacks are very disttrbing, but are rare. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
The majority of convictions are through neglect like thhs. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
These two Shih Tzus are barely recognisable. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The RSPCA says too often people buy pets, but then have no interest | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
But why is our region always at the top of the league | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
We receive a lot of complaints because we are the region that does | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
care about animals and people bother to pick up the phone and report it | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
to the police or the RSPCA when they are concerned about an anim`l. | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
But there are so many more people who are appalled by this | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Maggie arrived here frightened, timid and nervous. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
But she's now enjoying her new home and new life. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
She's just 36 years old, but she's now disabled | :02:14. | :02:32. | |
for life because an ambulance took an hour and a half to reach her | :02:33. | :02:36. | |

Caren, from Northumberland, has been awarded ?5 million compensation | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
An ambulance was called for Caren Paterson after she collapsed in the | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
But because the address was mistakenly classed as high risk | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
the ambulance waited round the corner for a police escort. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
It was more than 100 minutes before paramedics finally reached her. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
By then she'd suffered a cardiac arrest. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Seven years after the inciddnt, Caren's been awarded ?5 million | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
after the London Ambulance Service admitted a catalogue of errors. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
We have made significant ch`nges and improvements | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
So I accept, at the time, there were some failings. | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
We have accepted that and we apologise. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
We have made significant changes to make sure that wd | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
The delay left Caren, who w`s working as a genetic scienthst, | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Her family has welcomed the compensation payout. | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
It was a catastrophic series of missed opportunities, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
It will buy, for Caren, the reassurance for her and her family | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
that she will be looked aftdr properly for the rest of her life. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
It sounds like a lot of mondy, but it is not, it is only enough to | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
make sure that Caren gets the care and rehabilitation | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Caren will never work again and will need 24`hour care | :04:15. | :04:23. | |

officers think he fled the country in 2012 before he could be charged. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |

A motorcyclist killed in a road accident in North Tyneside | :05:09. | :05:11. | |

Three of the region's hospital trusts are in the red. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
The South Tyneside Trust has a deficit of more than ?1.5 mhllion. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
At South Tees, the figure is nearly ?7.5 mhllion. | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
But the worst financial performance comes from the North | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
Cumbria University Hospitals which is nearly ?24 million in debt. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
The re`routing of three rivdrs in Cumbria could be used to show | :05:35. | :05:38. | |

Today, the River Leith near Penrith was allowed to flow | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
along its natural route for the first time in 170 ydars | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
It was forced into a straight route to feed a lill | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Now as part of a wider, ?1 lillion project, rivers such as the Whitbeck | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
in the Lorton Valley will bd more like their natural state, mdandering | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
We are interested in what is happening higher up | :06:02. | :06:14. | |
the water courses, because when the rains come down it can be | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
It is important that we share the lessons learnt in Cumbrha with | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
other areas, across the whole of the UK and perhaps even Durope. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Making sure that we have got multi functional rivers that are producing | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
different benefits, areas for wildlife, for farling | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
People need to understand that and not have the preception that it | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
25 Celsius in the sunshine `nd parts of Cumbria and Northumberland this | :06:34. | :06:56. | |
afternoon. But increasing clout as we head into the night. That cloud | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
will bring a few spots of r`in here and there, but stop the temperatures | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
from dropping below 12 Celshus. A lot of cloud around first thing | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
tomorrow, but any patchy rahn should die away. Not as much sunshhne as | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
today, and cooler air on thd northerly breeze. Highs of 21 | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
Celsius in Penrith, cooler on the north`east coast. For the wdekend, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
mostly dry, a lot of cloud `t times and temperatures in the high teens. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Celsius. The outlook for the weekend is looking pretty good. | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
If you have outdoor plans, plenty of fine weather, warm nest the south. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Is today, warm nest the north. Normally Perth Australia is renowned | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
for its heat, but today Perth in Scotland, 27 degrees. Tomorrow not | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
as warm, but still pleasant enough. High teens, low 20s. That cooler | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
fresher air behind a cold front Fresh breeze from the north-west. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
That the will push the front southwards. A band of cloud and the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
odd spot of rain into parts of north-east England later. Otherwise | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
most places dry. Not desperately cold. Temperatures holding in double | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
figures. Tomorrow the front will move south. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
The odd shower in parts of the Midlands, eastern England and the | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
south-east later. Plenty of fine weather with increasing amounts of | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
sunshine. The best of that around coastal areas. The fresher breeze | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
means its won't be as warm in northern and central areas, but it | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
will feel pleasant. | :08:43. | :08:43. |
