day in 2012 when an e`mail dropped in the | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
school's inbox alleging she abused She said she felt up to disbelieve. | :01:43. | :02:08. | |
She said the claims were outrageous. She said they were a figment of the | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
boys imagination. She said her instinct was that was to do with | :02:19. | :02:20. | |

won't hesitate to use new powers Protection orders which are | :03:35. | :03:36. | |

domestic violence in our region Well the charity Womens' Aid | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
says there's a domestic violence incident reported somewhere in | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Britain to police every mintte. In other words that's around five | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
incidents during the length of time we've been on air tonight and | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
another 20 before we go off air Across the North East,Cumbrha | :04:02. | :04:06. | |

forces show nearly 70,000 domestic I spoke today to | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
a woman who we'll call Eliz`beth. She suffered years of abuse | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
from her former partner. It starts with verbal abuse. | :04:21. | :04:32. | |
Humiliating you in front of people. Then you are getting it or | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
threatened. I was getting abuse on a daily basis. I was let out of the | :04:40. | :04:52. | |
house once a month to pay the rent. Eventually it escalated. I was | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
dragged around the room by the here and punched. My last partner raped | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
me and allowed to other people to sexually assault me. | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
So what would Domestic Violence Protection Orders do? | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
Well at a conference in Newcastle today the region's Police and | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Crime Commissioners unveiled the new power police have to hand | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Effectively they would mean police could take action to move | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
a likely domestic offender `way from their likely victim evdn where | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
It gives an opportunity for an officer who thinks there is a risk, | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
but there has not been a crhme, to dry and safeguard the victil by | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
removing, with the consent of a senior officer, the perpetr`tor from | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
the home. That will tell people who are perpetrators, even if they do | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
not commit a crime there and then, the police understand they `re | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
oppressing people and can bd removed. It will also give `n | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
opportunity to give the victim some help and support. They can then | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
decide what they want to do about this behaviour. | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
One more thing ` if people ignore the new dolestic | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
violence orders that will bd considered an offence in itself | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
People could be fined up to ?5, 00 or sent to prison | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of 19`year`old | :06:30. | :06:36. | |

accepted that it has some issues to address concerning allegations | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
The matters relate to two sdrving officers and a member | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Plans to make the people who run our National Parks face elections are | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
proving controversial. For lore than 60 years most of the members of | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
National Park Authorities ` such as the Lake District and the North York | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Moors National Parks ` have been appointed by local councils. Now the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Government says they need to be more accountable. Len Tingle reports | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
For over 60 years independent park authorities have had the | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
responsibility for planning and development. Members are appointed, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
not elected. That is going to change. Draft legislation whll be | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
published providing election for the park authorities. They will have to | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
put themselves up for electhon. Every four or five years thdy will | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
have to come back to the local people and see, are doing a good | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
job? We should not be compl`cent, but when we did have a constltation | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
on the general public seemed happy with the present system. For too | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
long we have members appointed from beyond the boundaries of thd | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
National Parks. They had little or no idea of what it is like to live | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
and work in the National Park. The implication of the decisions, | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
particularly their planning decisions, can have huge and serious | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
consequences for those who live and work here. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
There has been no further information from the Governlent this | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
week as to how these changes will take place. | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
One of the region's best known nightspots ` and a former f`vourite | :09:48. | :09:51. | |

in July have in store weathdr`wise. He's one | :11:18. | :11:31. | |
of the most important designers And his work is said to havd | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
inspired many in the fashion world, But few in Middlesbrough ` | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
the town where he made his name ` Now it's hoped an exhibition | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
of Christopher Dresser's work will Middlesbrough's Women's Institute | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
have been called in to clean up hundreds of artifacts ` deshgned | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
by a man with a big reputathon. He was one of the most important | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
designers this country has produced. In the 1880's Christopher Dresser | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
provided jobs for redundant ironworkers when he | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
set up Linthorpe Art Potterx. But today much of that work is | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
forgotten and few it seems know Do you know who that is? I have no | :12:14. | :12:28. | |
idea. Who do you think that is? King George. I do not know who it is Is | :12:29. | :12:43. | |
that the person on the coins? I do not know. | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
As Dresser's work is polishdd and preserved a campaign has been | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
launched to celebrate his cultural contribution. | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
And an exhibition ` featuring hundreds | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
of his designs are now on dhsplay in Middlesbrough's Dorman Mtseum. | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
He was experimenting all thd time. Very forward`thinking and shmple | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
designs. Some of his work looks so contemporary. You would imagine it | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
And that's why Dresser's designs are still sought after todax. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
More than a century on modern manufactures | :13:19. | :13:19. | |
like the Italian giant Alessi are still following his plans. | :13:20. | :13:31. | |

local bike shop. We are teaching them mechanics. They are le`rning | :14:40. | :14:49. | |

noticed the change? Self`confidence and fitness levels. She is pushing | :14:56. | :15:07. | |
herself more. We have been doing it since last | :15:08. | :15:20. | |
year. It makes you feel healthy We have cycle clubs after school on | :15:21. | :15:30. | |
