:01:23. > :01:26.The Government's Green Deal is touted as being good

:01:27. > :01:29.for the environment and good for people's pockets.

:01:30. > :01:32.But an investigation by BBC Look North and BBC Newc`stle has

:01:33. > :01:35.found one firm offering Gredn Deal services in the region has left some

:01:36. > :01:40.customers out of pocket and with little to show for it.

:01:41. > :01:44.Our political correspondent Mark Denten has this exclusive rdport.

:01:45. > :01:50.John from Darlington appeardd on Look North recently.

:01:51. > :01:53.He has a 14`year`old boiler which needs replacing and was attracted by

:01:54. > :01:57.a Government scheme called the Green Deal, private firms offer energy

:01:58. > :02:04.Homeowners, landlords and tdnants benefit from the Green Deal.

:02:05. > :02:07.A Gateshead firm called Tivhum Ltd called him out of the blue.

:02:08. > :02:10.A representative visited his home, he signed up for a Green De`l

:02:11. > :02:16.But within a day, John decided it wasn't for him after

:02:17. > :02:21.After about seven to ten days I r`ng them

:02:22. > :02:27.up and said, "I've cancelled it what's happening about my rdfund?"

:02:28. > :02:29.They cashed my cheque after I cancelled the contract.

:02:30. > :02:32.But John, it seems, is not the only one.

:02:33. > :02:36.Since Look North highlighted his case, we've been contacted by these

:02:37. > :02:42.They all paid money and waited and waited.

:02:43. > :02:46.Here is Dave, from Sacriston in County Durham

:02:47. > :02:53.The guy's words to me were, "Look, we need this ?299 to go ahe`d, but

:02:54. > :02:57.don't worry about it, you c`n't lose it because at the end of thd day,

:02:58. > :03:00.if you decide after you recdive the information we are going to give you

:03:01. > :03:08.that you are not happy with it, you get your money returned."

:03:09. > :03:13.But weeks and months passed, no assessment, no new boiler.

:03:14. > :03:16.And from August last year until now, I haven't even received the

:03:17. > :03:19.Green Deal assessment, let `lone a boiler or my money back.

:03:20. > :03:25.And 20 miles north in Cramlhngton, here is Adam.

:03:26. > :03:28.After an initial cold call last August, he invited Tivium Ltd round,

:03:29. > :03:32.handed over ?199 and, althotgh he had a Green Deal assessment,

:03:33. > :03:42.I tried twice or thrice to phone the place in Swalwell.

:03:43. > :03:45.You are always on a waiting list in a telephone queue.

:03:46. > :03:51.When you ask them, "When am I going to get my new boiler?"

:03:52. > :03:56.All they say is, "There's a big delay, we don't know."

:03:57. > :03:59.And then there's John in Barnard Castle,

:04:00. > :04:01.another Tivium Ltd customer waiting for a new boiler, first contacted

:04:02. > :04:08.The guy came out, we sat and talked to him.

:04:09. > :04:12.He took a cheque for ?299 of us and said someone will be out within

:04:13. > :04:22.Then, after about six weeks, I finally got a date when they were

:04:23. > :04:29.We sat in one afternoon for four hours, nobody came out

:04:30. > :04:37.It was only because it was on the television

:04:38. > :04:40.a fortnight ago that we dechded well, these are people like us.

:04:41. > :04:43.Not to be embarrassed about it and let everybody else know what's

:04:44. > :04:54.After Look North contacted Tivium Ltd, finally,

:04:55. > :05:00.In Dave's case, Tivium Ltd said there was a mix`up

:05:01. > :05:06.It acknowledges that servicd has in his case been disappointhng.

:05:07. > :05:10.They are refunding him his ?299 and gave him ?50 gift vouchdr.

:05:11. > :05:14.In John's case, Tivium Ltd `dmitted it missed a Green Deal assessment.

:05:15. > :05:19.Again, his ?299 has been refunded `nd has

:05:20. > :05:24.In Adam's case, Tivium Ltd acknowledges del`ys

:05:25. > :05:30.They say they will fit a bohler in the next few weeks

:05:31. > :05:36.John in Darlington has been refunded, too, by Tivium Ltd.

:05:37. > :05:41.Tivium Ltd declined to be interviewed but in a statemdnt it

:05:42. > :05:44.blames teething problems with the Green Deal that are not its fault.

:05:45. > :05:47.It acknowledges it has carrhed out 6000 Green Deal assessments,

:05:48. > :05:52.but less than 1% have had the equipment installed.

:05:53. > :05:55.The firm says this is in line with problems with the

:05:56. > :05:59.Green Deal experienced by other companies and participants.

:06:00. > :06:01.Tivium Ltd says it makes strenuous efforts to communicate with

:06:02. > :06:07.customers and has a complaint rate of less th`n 1 5%.

:06:08. > :06:16.Tivium Ltd is the marketing arm of Tivium Green Deal Installers Ltd.

:06:17. > :06:19.the organisation that offichally accredits these firms, calldd

:06:20. > :06:21.Stroma, has told Look North it's investigating Tivium Green Deal

:06:22. > :06:27.Installers Ltd and its conndction to Tivium Ltd after complaints. We

:06:28. > :06:31.understand that investigation is looking at potential breachds

:06:32. > :06:38.Now Tivium Ltd says it is confident that that investigation will result

:06:39. > :06:42.in Stroma's full satisfaction, but opposition politicians `re now

:06:43. > :06:46.asking wider questions about the Green Deal itself.

:06:47. > :06:49.The Green Deal is an import`nt idea, it makes sense for people to spend

:06:50. > :06:53.their money paying back for lower efficiency energy measures rather

:06:54. > :06:56.than just higher energy bills, but it's not working at the minute.

:06:57. > :07:05.It's not attractive offer for consumers to take on.

:07:06. > :07:12.Mark, what do the Government say about the Green Deal?

:07:13. > :07:18.No minister was available to be interviewed tonight, but thd

:07:19. > :07:21.Government says they acknowledge there have been problems with the

:07:22. > :07:28.deal in the past, but they say since the project was relaunched last

:07:29. > :07:33.month, it has had ?60 million. They say over 234,000 assessments have

:07:34. > :07:38.been carried out, and around about three quarters of those havd

:07:39. > :07:41.resulted in household improvements. They say the home improvement fund,

:07:42. > :07:45.the thing that was launched last month, will make it even silple to

:07:46. > :07:49.operate. They are saying if you are planning home improvements, this is

:07:50. > :07:50.the scheme to adopt, that it does work and there are happy customers

:07:51. > :07:52.out there. It's been described as

:07:53. > :07:54."the grandest, Grand Depart ever", the weekend when North Yorkshire

:07:55. > :07:57.played host to the first st`ges Along the route, one estimate put

:07:58. > :08:00.crowd numbers at five million, Well, now attention's turning to

:08:01. > :08:04.what kind of legacy the race will leave, with organisers

:08:05. > :08:06.predicting a ?100 million boost Phil Connell spent

:08:07. > :08:10.the weekend following the r`ce, and It was North Yorkshire

:08:11. > :08:18.at its very best. According to the UN,

:08:19. > :08:20.there's 196 countries in thd world and these stunning pictures

:08:21. > :08:27.of the county were seen in 090. For the tourism boss who helped

:08:28. > :08:29.bring the race to Yorkshire, Proud for the people of Yorkshire,

:08:30. > :08:35.proud for everyone involved I think Yorkshire did

:08:36. > :08:42.the country proud, did Millions of people watching it,

:08:43. > :08:48.the Times this morning saying 5 million people, the Daily M`il,

:08:49. > :08:50.4 million people. I don't know how you verify

:08:51. > :08:52.these numbers, it was just huge Along the route in North Yorkshire,

:08:53. > :08:56.the scenes were astonishing. Even in remote places

:08:57. > :08:59.like Buttertubs, In Harrogate it seemed

:09:00. > :09:07.like one massive party, with Something you don't see in France,

:09:21. > :09:22.the Duchess of Cambridge prdsenting According to organisers,

:09:23. > :09:29.the grandest of Grand Departs. The Tour de France is very, very

:09:30. > :09:33.popular, but what we lived xesterday and today is unbelievable,

:09:34. > :09:41.incredible, amazing, astonishing! Day two and the race sped through

:09:42. > :09:48.Knaresborough, a town that was voted I want to know from your vidwers,

:09:49. > :09:57.do we keep the spots or not? Organisers believe

:09:58. > :10:05.the race will generate ?100 billion Though in Harrogate on Saturday

:10:06. > :10:12.there were winners and losers. We were here from half six,

:10:13. > :10:15.getting the machine turned on, getting the coffee in, sincd half an

:10:16. > :10:18.hour from that it's been nonstop. Next door, though, the owner of this

:10:40. > :10:44.a media village appeared ovdrnight with one star of French TV full

:10:45. > :10:47.of praise for Yorkshire. Because there are a lot of people,

:10:48. > :10:55.there is an atmosphere with people. They like riders, they like the

:10:56. > :11:04.rides, they like the Tour dd France. The race ends on the Champs`Elysees

:11:05. > :11:07.in Paris in three weeks timd. The amazing scenes

:11:10. > :11:27.on suspicion of the murder of a Newcastle University student

:11:28. > :11:29.in Warwickshire. The body of 23`year`old Jamds Steen

:11:30. > :11:32.was found at a house in Wood Street in the town of Rugby,

:11:33. > :11:34.early on Saturday morning. The three men are all from the Rugby

:11:35. > :11:42.area. A man from Sunderland has admitted

:11:43. > :11:45.starting a fire on board a ferry, which was then forced to return to

:11:46. > :11:47.port in North Shields. Boden Hughes started the bl`ze

:12:02. > :12:09.to create thousands of new jobs in the North East and Cumbrha

:12:10. > :12:12.through something it's callhng Hundreds of millions of pounds

:12:13. > :12:15.of investment are promised over The money will be used to ddvelop

:12:16. > :12:18.business parks Our political editor

:12:19. > :12:21.Richard Moss is here now. What exactly is promised

:12:22. > :12:33.in this "deal"? This is supposedly a more

:12:34. > :12:37.intelligent way of the Government spending money. Instead of separate

:12:38. > :12:40.announcements, the idea is to put a pool of money into one pot `nd local

:12:41. > :12:45.enterprise partnerships can bid around the country for them. We ve

:12:46. > :12:50.got a good slice of money, so they must have liked what we `` they saw.

:12:51. > :12:56.In Cumbria, a promise to crdate around 2000 jobs. The redevdlop and

:13:04. > :13:07.promised. An oil and gas Ac`demy at Redcar and Cleveland Collegd, to

:13:08. > :13:11.train young people. And a sdries of road improvements including some at

:13:12. > :13:15.win yard of the 819. In the Northeast, Durham, Northumbdrland

:13:16. > :13:19.and Tyneside and Wearside, `nother 4000 jobs promised. It was the third

:13:25. > :13:26.Aycliffe business Park, for companies want to serve the industry

:13:27. > :13:32.there. And work to raise school standards. It has worked well in

:13:33. > :13:36.London. What it didn't incltde was the commitment of the amount of

:13:37. > :13:39.money that London got for that. Grant Shapps, the Conservathve Party

:13:40. > :13:43.chairman, he was a long timd today and this is what he said about the

:13:44. > :13:48.growth deal. These are big investments, a show of faith that we

:13:49. > :13:52.believe you live in an area of the country that is absolutely poised to

:13:53. > :13:56.have a great future, more jobs, sharing the economic growth, that

:13:57. > :14:00.long`term plan has started to bring the benefits of the fastest`growing

:14:01. > :14:03.economy in the advanced world in the UK, it's coming right here to

:14:04. > :14:07.Cumbria, right over to the north`east. It's the Governlent

:14:08. > :14:13.working with local people to get stuff done. Not everyone thhnks it's

:14:14. > :14:16.such a big deal. Labour say it's not enough, it doesn't make up for the

:14:17. > :14:20.neglect of the north`east and Cumbria of the last four ye`rs. This

:14:21. > :14:26.is Ian Wright, an MP and Sh`dow Minister. I do think it's too little

:14:27. > :14:30.too late. The Government has neglected my area over the lifetime

:14:31. > :14:33.of this Parliament, we've sden the largest spending cuts of anx area in

:14:34. > :14:36.the country. I don't think they really recognise the scale of

:14:37. > :14:41.ambition we have for our arda. We've got fantastic potential, but they

:14:42. > :14:45.haven't provided us with thd skills, tools and resources to be able to

:14:46. > :14:49.fulfil their potential. Labour said it would pass on more money to

:14:50. > :14:53.regions like ours, but you will notice there is an election coming

:14:54. > :14:56.up in the next few months, so we should expect more announcelents

:14:57. > :14:58.like this. These commitments go beyond the next election and we know

:14:59. > :15:02.that governments can change things. This week, Look North has bden given

:15:03. > :15:05.unprecedented access to the operating theatre

:15:06. > :15:07.at Newcastle's Freeman Hosphtal to We'll witness new life being

:15:08. > :15:11.breathed into new lungs and hear of exciting breakthroughs

:15:12. > :15:12.in liver transplantation. And tonight, we're privilegdd to

:15:13. > :15:15.have been able to film one of the most emotional moments

:15:16. > :15:17.the transplant teams face, when a tiny heart arrives just in time

:15:18. > :15:20.for surgeons to save a tiny life. Our health reporter Sharon Barbour

:15:21. > :15:40.is at the Freeman for us now. Transplant week is all about raising

:15:41. > :15:43.awareness and calling on people to have that often difficult

:15:44. > :15:46.conversation about a loved one's desires when they die and what to do

:15:47. > :15:51.about their organs, in the hope that more organs would be made available.

:15:52. > :15:56.Some stats for you, around the UK at any given time, around 10,000 people

:15:57. > :16:03.are on the waiting list. Of that number, around three people a day

:16:04. > :16:07.die because an organ hasn't become available in time. Across otr region

:16:08. > :16:13.there are hundreds of peopld waiting. In fact, there are hard ``

:16:14. > :16:16.for a heart transplant alond, there are around 56 people on the waiting

:16:17. > :16:20.list. But one little girl is no longer on the waiting list, and

:16:21. > :16:24.that's because last week thd call came to save a donor heart was

:16:25. > :16:29.available and it was a match. The surgeons kindly allowed us hnside

:16:30. > :16:30.the operating theatre to film this heart transplant operation.

:16:31. > :16:34.Few operations are as compldx and time critical

:16:35. > :16:38.The pressure in this operathng theatre is immense,

:16:39. > :16:47.Inside this cool box is the only thing that could s`ve

:16:48. > :16:56.Wrapped in ice, it's a tiny baby's heart.

:16:57. > :17:01.Child heart surgery is a painful business.

:17:02. > :17:09.Another child has died, its parents grieving, but they've given immense

:17:10. > :17:14.hope to the parent waiting outside the operating theatre, hope that

:17:15. > :17:25.The operation is highly specialised, highly complex, surgeons working

:17:26. > :17:33.The blood supply connected to the donor heart will keep it alive,

:17:34. > :17:37.but without a heartbeat the surgery team are having to work intdnsely to

:17:38. > :17:44.What's happening with blood pressure?

:17:45. > :17:48.The surgeons can't afford to lose any concentration

:17:49. > :17:54.The stress in the theatre is palpable.

:17:55. > :18:05.Finally, this baby, whose life was hanging by a thread,

:18:06. > :18:17.has a new heart, a new chance of life, one she so urgently ndeded.

:18:18. > :18:27.I'm delighted to be joined by LOD, that was the little girl in theatre

:18:28. > :18:30.there. She is six months old. Her parents took the call the other

:18:31. > :18:36.night to say a heart was av`ilable. What did that mean to you? Dmotional

:18:37. > :18:40.isn't the word. It was around about 6:30am, a very difficult call. I

:18:41. > :18:48.shed a few tears on the edgd of the bed at home. We rushed to hospital

:18:49. > :18:53.and from about 9:30am it all happened. How is she doing? Really

:18:54. > :18:56.well, considering everything she's been through. She's awake and

:18:57. > :19:02.stable. It's amazing to see that after such a hairy period. We

:19:03. > :19:05.understand that the operation was difficult at times, we saw some of

:19:06. > :19:14.the tension in the theatre. I spoke to one of the surgeons about this.

:19:15. > :19:22.We are used to opening small babies. I think transplantation in ` baby

:19:23. > :19:24.like this, it's not a very difficult operation but there were a lot of

:19:25. > :19:37.other concerns which make the operation more difficult. A very

:19:38. > :19:43.difficult operation but luckily she is doing remarkably well. It has

:19:44. > :19:48.been a roller`coaster ride, but I wonder where your feelings now lie,

:19:49. > :19:53.particularly with the familx who made the decision to donate their

:19:54. > :19:57.child's heart. We can't express the words to say how thankful wd are,

:19:58. > :20:02.because it's a very difficult decision from their point of view,

:20:03. > :20:07.they've lost a child. But it's given a new lease of life for our

:20:08. > :20:12.daughter, a second chance. H have to introduce Freya here. Good news with

:20:13. > :20:18.your little sister. Mum, I guess it's not just the road to rdcovery.

:20:19. > :20:23.Definitely. It's going to bd a long road ahead, she's still got hurdles

:20:24. > :20:33.to overcome. Hopefully it whll all go well. Thank you both verx much.

:20:34. > :20:38.Now I'm going to hand over to dawn with the sport.

:20:39. > :20:41.Newcastle United's Dutch go`lkeeper Tim Krul has been defending him

:20:42. > :20:43.self against accusations of unsporting behaviour over his

:20:44. > :20:46.attempts to psyche out Cost` Rica's penalty takers in the quartdr finals

:20:47. > :20:50.Krul, who saw his first acthon of the tournament on Saturd`y

:20:51. > :20:53.night, was brought on by Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal specifically for

:20:54. > :20:56.the penalty shoot out and proceeded to speak to every spot kick taker,

:20:57. > :20:59.telling them he knew where they were going to place the ball.

:21:00. > :21:02.It was a successful strategx ultimately, Krul went on to save two

:21:03. > :21:04.penalties to see the Netherlands through to the semi`finals,

:21:05. > :21:10.I don't think I've done anything wrong.

:21:11. > :21:13.I haven't shouted at them in an aggressive manner.

:21:14. > :21:15.I just told them, like I said before, that I knew

:21:16. > :21:18.where they were going, that I've analysed where they were gohng.

:21:19. > :21:35.I'm trying obviously to get in their heads and it worked.

:21:36. > :21:40.More bad news for Mark Cavendish in the Tour de France. It was bad

:21:41. > :21:43.enough crashing out in front of his mum near the finish line in

:21:44. > :21:46.Harrogate on Saturday, but now he's set to miss the Commonwealth Games

:21:47. > :21:51.as well because he needs surgery on his injured shoulder.

:21:52. > :21:53.She's still only 21, but Olympic and Commonwealth Games

:21:54. > :21:56.swimmer Aimee Willmott has packed a lot in since she joined

:21:57. > :21:59.Aimee, whose dad Stuart was also an Olympic swimmer,

:22:00. > :22:02.will head to Glasgow with hdr England teammates later this month,

:22:03. > :22:29.It has been a bit of a learning curve. I was thrown in the deep end

:22:30. > :22:32.at the last Commonwealth Gales in Delhi in 2010, so this time it will

:22:33. > :22:36.be quite nice to be one of the older swimmers, I've kind of done all the

:22:37. > :22:40.tournaments and competitions already. For me, it will be nice to

:22:41. > :22:46.see how the racing goes rather than just enjoying the whole atmosphere.

:22:47. > :22:51.Aimee, who plans to compete in four events, is no stranger to the podium

:22:52. > :22:55.this year, after winning fotr medals at the British championships, but

:22:56. > :22:58.what about tickets for Glasgow? It hasn't been easier than Delhi,

:22:59. > :23:03.getting hold of the tickets. Luckily, I managed to securd a few

:23:04. > :23:07.more than just two. My mum, dad sister and both sets of grandparents

:23:08. > :23:09.will be there to watch me in Glasgow. It will be nice to have

:23:10. > :23:16.more support than normal. Mx grandparents have never really seen

:23:17. > :23:19.the race before so I'm quitd excited to get there now and really show

:23:20. > :23:23.them what I do every day. S`dly Aimee, a member of the swimling club

:23:24. > :23:27.at the Neptune Centre, is moving to the capital after the games with her

:23:28. > :23:31.coach. They will both join the New London Aquatic Centre performance

:23:32. > :23:34.programme, part of the Olympic legacy. I think I've grown tp in

:23:35. > :23:38.Middlesbrough and done all H wanted to achieve here. The new ch`pter for

:23:39. > :23:41.me is something I couldn't really turned down, training in thd best

:23:42. > :23:45.pool in the country. I am going to be sad to leave Middlesbrough but

:23:46. > :23:49.I'll be back here training when I'm visiting friends and coming on for

:23:50. > :23:54.Christmas. I'm not leaving ht completely, at the back and `` be

:23:55. > :24:01.back every now and again. Hopefully with a medal or two!

:24:02. > :24:04.Yorkshire have been in complete control for most of the first day

:24:05. > :24:06.of their county championship match against Durham at Headinglex.

:24:07. > :24:09.Durham's decision to put Yorkshire in to bat after winning

:24:10. > :24:12.the toss seemed to be the wrong one after openers Adam Lyth and

:24:13. > :24:16.The first wicket didn't fall until they'd reached 270

:24:17. > :24:27.but four wickets from Mark Wood and one from Scott Borthwick saw

:24:28. > :24:39.It was honours today for coledian and TV writer Jason Cook

:24:40. > :24:45.at the University of Sunderland s annual graduation ceremony.

:24:46. > :24:49.The writer of the popular BBC sitcom Hdbburn,

:24:55. > :24:58.Jason took time out from script writing to attend today's awards

:24:59. > :25:06.I'm just a bloke that tells jokes, this is beyond overwhelming.

:25:07. > :25:11.I was briefly a student herd and then my comedy career started

:25:12. > :25:17.So while these guys did the three`year

:25:18. > :25:42.Great photos to start us off. First, a Midsummer site. Clouds sn`pped

:25:43. > :25:46.over Newcastle. This was thd scene at Whitley Bay, night shining

:25:47. > :25:52.clouds, only visible in the North at this time of year. They are clouds

:25:53. > :25:57.on the edge of space, way above the troposphere, where the rest of our

:25:58. > :26:03.weather happens. This was a beautiful display at Berwick.

:26:04. > :26:08.Tomorrow, some heavy showers and they could be thundery and

:26:09. > :26:12.slow`moving. Tonight, a few showers developing across North Yorkshire

:26:13. > :26:16.and the north`east, but aftdr dark these should clear. Many pl`ces will

:26:17. > :26:22.be dry with temperatures as low as around 11 Celsius. Tomorrow, we are

:26:23. > :26:26.expecting thundery showers to return, particularly for thd

:26:27. > :26:29.north`east. It's likely to be dry in Cumbria through the afternoon, but

:26:30. > :26:34.in the north`east and North Yorkshire those showers will

:26:35. > :26:36.increase in intensity. We are expecting real downpours through the

:26:37. > :26:40.end of the afternoon and into the early evening, with that Met Office

:26:41. > :26:47.weather warning in force from 1 am until 7pm tomorrow. There whll be

:26:48. > :26:53.spots that avoid the showers, temperatures likely to be 18 or 19

:26:54. > :26:57.Celsius. As always with this kind of showery weather, not everywhere will

:26:58. > :27:00.see downpours, but where thdy do fall they bring the risk of

:27:01. > :27:06.localised surface water flooding. A showery day in Harrogate,

:27:07. > :27:09.potentially for the first d`y of the Great Yorkshire Show. We have fine

:27:10. > :27:13.weather for the cycling at the weekend. Cumbria, less showdry

:27:14. > :27:18.tomorrow and we are expecting better weather here over the next couple of

:27:19. > :27:24.days. After tomorrow, bright skies and feeling warm in Keswick on

:27:25. > :27:28.Wednesday. Cooler and cloudher in the north`east, though. Somd sunny

:27:29. > :27:29.spells as well as showers tomorrow, but not much sunshine on Wednesday

:27:30. > :27:39.or Thursday. Live TV at its finest! We whll see

:27:40. > :27:41.you tomorrow.
