For more than 40 miles throtgh Northumberland, | :00:55. | :02:26. | |
Turning it into dual carriageway is a popular option. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
I think they could probably spare a bit extra to dual it up hdre, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Generally, it is not the best road to travel on if you've ever | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Dualling the A1 here and further north won't comd cheap. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Now the BBC has discovered just how much dualling might cost to turn all | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
An estimate produced for Northumberland County Council | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
puts the price tag at more than ?14 million a mile for 42 miles, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
The cost of turning it into a motorway would be | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
But compare that to the cost of building | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the proposed high speed rail link which won't even come to thhs | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
This is the only part of a major economic highway | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
from Northumberland to Scotland that isn't dual in this country | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
This is the thing that will drive the economy of the North East, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
as the North East is one of the few areas where exports are | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
greater than imports, and wd need this to sprout throughout | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Those whose businesses depend on moving goods around would also | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
One transport boss argues the road is not fit for purpose | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
We avoid going north wherevdr possible because | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
We tend to try and subcontr`ct it to someone else and not do ht. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
If it was dualled, we would then do those loads ourselves. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
There is also another argumdnt for dualling the A1: | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
Alexander Gibson's son, also called Alexander, | :04:10. | :04:10. | |
If the road was dualled and had a central barrier, | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
he would have just drifted and banged against the barrher | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
and no other car would have been involved as such like, you know | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
And they reckon he would have had about a 90% chance | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
So, will the Government find thd cash? | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
This was the Roads Minister last week when he was in the reghon. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
I'll make a decision and announce it, not after the | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
election, but before the eldction, before the end of this year. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
But it is not clear what it might be and whether a future Governlent | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
in Scotland devolved or inddpendent might help meet the costs. | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
So, Fergus, we know how much it might cost to dual all the @1. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
But the half a billion pound question is, just how likelx is it? | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Well, all the mood music coling out of Government, as we heard hn that | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
clip from the Roads Minister at the end of my package, is that something | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
will be announced soon, most likely in or after the Chancellor's Autumn | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
The hints have been some money for some dualling will be announced | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
But it's unlikely that will be to dual all | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
the A1 through Northumberland that isn't now dual carriageway. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Whether a future government in Scotland up the road here, whatever | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
shape that might take, would help meet the costs is, of coursd, | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
As you mentioned, Scotland, the campaign is reached the north`east | :05:36. | :05:52. | |
today. The campaigners were gathered in South Shields. They want the | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
north`east to say, Scotland, please do not leave. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
In the morning mist, you might feel you're in Scotland. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
A group of people calling for that country to stay in the UK. | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
South Shields Town Hall this morning, and the Better Togdther | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
campaign gathered with a celebrity signing, TV presenter Dan Snow. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
When I look at the UK, what a fantastic place. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
As different peoples, we have put aside historic | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
differences and have worked together to create a remarkable country. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
If Scotland does vote yes, the politicians get involved, it | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
be like a divorce, the only people who will get rich is the lawyers. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
The yes campaign say the North East and Cumbria would do best | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
if Scotland does leave the TK and become independent. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
If we get independent and m`ke a success, and we have confhdence | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
we will, it is something thd British Government and Westlinster | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
They have ignored it for donkeys' years. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Back at South Shields, the plans are going up and the council le`der says | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
what ever happened on Thursday, our region needs more power. | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
There is going to have to bd a mature conversation with | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Because you can't have a situation where Scotland `chieves | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
a greater devolution, more powers, more self`determination, but the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
North East and other regions like Yorkshire and the North West do not. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Three days to go, and these people want Scotl`nd to | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
But none of them will have ` vote on Thursday, it is out | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
of their hands and too closd to call. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Two more days to go. And thd polls have come out focusing on the views | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
of our region. Some broadcasters do carry`out | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
polls. One survey says two thirds of people | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
said they did not want Scottish independence. It is a small sample, | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
just over 500 people. It dods add to this debate with just two d`ys of | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
full campaigning to go. Now, are you or will you be | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
reliant on the state pension? Well, | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
around a third of people qudstioned in a survey for tonight's Inside Out | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
programme say they haven't hnvested in a private pension | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
because they can't afford it. The poll | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
by the ComRes organisation `sked why around half of British adults still | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
don't have a private pension. Inside Out's Chris Jackson has been | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
to Wearside, where one 83`ydar`old We will see if we can help save | :08:27. | :08:42. | |
on your energy bills. A call centre in Sunderland. | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
When would be the best time to catch him? | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Most of the members of staff are in their 20s. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
One notable exception is Charles West. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
I do not think my pension will be enough. | :09:00. | :09:31. | |
People do not understand what it is like. | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
To supplement what he receives from the state, he works the phones four | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
What is it like being surrotnded all these young people? | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Charles is not as unusual as you might think. | :09:44. | :10:06. | |
The number of over`65s working has mord | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
They are now more than 1 million working pensioners. | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
That number is set to doubld again in just six years. | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
It is one of the greatest achievements of mankind | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
The critical issue is we must plan for this. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
It is almost an education issue in schools to help people plan | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Just about the time when you should be relaxing and | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
maybe watering the garden, xou could find yourself stuck in the office. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
And you can find out more about that survey, and catch up with Charles, | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
in tonight's Inside Out, here on BBC One at 7.30. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
And, two years after a man was attacked | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
in York, two people have bedn arrested on suspicion of murder | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Stephen Eastwood died earlidr this year, after being struck with | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
A man and a woman are in police custody. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
And a 22`year`old man's appdared in court in Peterlee, | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
The body of 42`year`old Michael Outhwaite was found | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
in a field in Willington in County Durham on Friday. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Mr Outhwaite, who was originally from Sunderland, | :11:09. | :11:09. | |
Daniel Oxley, from Murton, has been remanded into custody. | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
A campaign to marginalise loan sharks is underway in Cumbrha. | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
The county council says Copdland and Allerdale are worst affdcted | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Trading Standards officers will be explaining the help available | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
for anyone who's already taken out an illegal loan, and encour`ging | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
They are the most highly`rated part of our education systel. | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
But dozens of specialist cotncil nursery schools have closed over | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
The North East and Cumbria now has only around 40 left. | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
Many are rated outstanding. But one County Durham MP has | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
warned that more will close, unless they're given extra funds. | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
Our political editor, Richard Moss, reports. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Oxclose Nursery School in W`shington is the first encounter thesd | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
three`year`olds will have whth education. | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
But as they only spend a ye`r here, what difference can it make? | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
You just have to see the group of children that I have, nurture | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
We learn from the children and they learn from us. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
And the achievements of state nursery schools | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
57% are currently rated as outstanding by inspectors, | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
while only 17% of primary schools got that top rating. | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
At the heart of that, highly`qualified staff. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
As well as a head teacher, others are graduates or trahned | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
But nurseries don't get any more funding than early | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Those in charge say that's short`sighted. | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
Within Sunderland, there ard nine nursery schools doing very well | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
But not being recognised as needing funding. | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
It is expensive, but it is an investment in children. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
If we can get it right from the beginning, then th`t | :12:58. | :13:07. | |
doesn't need to be so much loney spent catching up as we grow older. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
But more than 60 state nursdries have closed in the last dec`de. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
And one North East MP organhsed a Commons debate to appeal | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
All I wanted to do was to wake up ministers | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
to the centres of excellencd, proven centres of excellence, we are | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Wake up to the fact and do something about it. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
But ministers say they aren't prepared to provide dxtra | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
49 local authorities do not have any maintained nursery schools, | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
33 only have one or two maintained nursery schools. | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
But specialist state nurserhes fear their a future won't be as bright | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
And you can see more on that story by finding | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
Sunday Politics for the North East and Cumbria on the BBC iPlaxer. | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
It provides a much`needed transport service to cancer patients who're | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
And now, the charity Daft As A Brush is welcoming the seven new `rrivals | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
Earlier today, volunteers, patients and local school children | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
gathered for the official ribbon`cutting ceremony. | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
The latest recruits to Daft As A Brush. | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
The Newcastle charity set up to provide transport for cancer | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Marie Affleck from Westerhope has blood c`ncer. | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
She's been relying on the service for a year. | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
It just gives you complete peace of mind. | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
It is bad enough having to go to the hospital on a regular b`sis | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
and to have the treatment I am having. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
This year, the charity will have been involved | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
Next year, with the feet up to 6, it's hoped | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
Which means the role of the volunteer is more important than | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
And it's never too early to get involved. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
These seven new ambulances have each been adopted by local schools. | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
18 schools are involved in adopting the ambulances. | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Hopefully it will spread all over the world, but that is for tomorrow. | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
Brian Burnie called his charity Daft As A Brush bec`use | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
But, five years down the line, turns out he's not as daft | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
One of Europe's best`preserved former lead mines is being given | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
a quarter`of`a`million`pound makeover, to preserve it | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
Nenthead mine once employed thousands, | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
but it's now a vital visitor attraction in the North Pennines. | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
Mark McAlindon went to have a look around. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
The views are stunning, but work must have been tough | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
as volunteers working on the renovation acknowledge. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
In the 18th and 19th centurx, it was better than a subsistence | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
It was a hard life, life expectancy was quite short | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
This building is an explosives store, to hold dynamite. | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
There are so few left in England, it is not unique but nearly. | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
This network of lead mining works in the Pennines is one | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
of the best preserved in Europe which is why Natural England are | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
applying a quarter of million pounds into preserving them. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
People here described lead lining as a Klondike. | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
Peter Kempsey is a conservation architect whose work | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
This is an important part of history, North Pennines history | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
In a given period, the North Pennines was | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
Industrial history of this kind is already hugely popular. | :17:09. | :17:23. | |
It is hoped new generations will be encouraged to find out what | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Monday evening, plenty of sport on the menu. | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
Top marks to Middlesbrough, our only winners this week. | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
How long can Alan Pardew kedp his job as manager of Newcastle | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
The answer is, probably for some time yet, because | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
Mike Ashley will not be swaxed by what the fans think, which hs why | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Pardew's the second`longest serving manager in the Premier Leagte. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
But the owner clearly doesn't like the press pointing out some | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
The list of newspapers banndd from St James's Park. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
It started with the local p`pers, the Newcastle Journal, | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Last week, they were joined by the Daily Telegraph and now the | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
Let's hope we survive after pointing out that Alan Pardew | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
Newcastle have only won six games since the start of the year. It is | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
pointless trying to second`guess this man. His decisions comd | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
straight out of the blue. It's clear what these fans want. You h`ve to | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
blame the players as well. They didn't start at all at | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Southampton. The marking was terrible. Alan Pardew said they | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
could not afford a repeat of the thrashing at Southampton in March. | :18:52. | :18:52. | |
You wonder how much stuffing knocked out of thel. Their | :18:53. | :19:05. | |
worst start since 2005. I am not sure how much notice the | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
players take notice of the fans It was one`way traffic. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
At this stage, the heads have gone down. | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
Before the game, the assist`nt manager had an argument with some of | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
the supporters. Our fans were on us from thd start, | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
me in particular. I don't think I do feel we have more qualhty | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
than we showed today. We need to show more character | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
to get ourselves out. Sometimes it is not about t`ctics, | :19:35. | :21:06. | |
it is about winning to get It was a really difficult g`me | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
and we got something from it. So, while Sunderland and Newcastle | :21:10. | :21:22. | |
wait for their first win of the season, down in the Championship, | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Middlesbrough recorded their third . More than 3,500 fans saw | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
the Teessiders take the lead, late And what a strike from Grant | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Leadbitter, who's really growing But the Terriers looked to have | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
nicked a share of the points through another ex`Sunderland man Jon Stead | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
who didn't score too many But he guided that one past | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Dimi Konstantopoulos. Deep into stoppage time, though | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
justice was done. And up stepped the captain. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
Grant Leadbitter's fourth Boro go to Cardiff tomorrow night | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
just one point outside In League Two, 75 applicants | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
but still no manager for Carlisle. Let's hope they weren't put off | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
by this collapse, at home to Bury. Three unanswered second`half goals | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
from the Lancashire side sent the Blues to the very bottol | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
of the Football League, with just three points and no wins | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
from the first seven matches. It looks like Paul Thirlwell | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
and Tony Caig will still be in charge when the Cumbrians go to | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
Shewsbury tomorrow. Amazingly, York City last lost | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
a league match in January! But that extraordinary, | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
23`match unbeaten run ended Burton took the lead through | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
Lucas Akins' volley and this 25`yard shot from Mousinho sealed | :22:38. | :22:49. | |
the win. And although Hartldpool also failed to score, they did at | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
least earn a point at home to Tranmere. This effort from Ryan | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Brobbel on loan from Middlesbrough the closest Pools came to breaking | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
the deadlock, but two clean sheets in a row is something for | :22:59. | :23:01. | |

news, Newcastle Falcons lost their first home game of Rugby Unhon's new | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
Premiership season. It's now 18 matches since they last won in the | :23:22. | :23:24. | |

the Falcons beat in the Preliership And in truth the Falcons should have | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
beaten them this time as well. Josh Furno put Newcastle ahdad, the | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
Falcons scoring three tries to the Exiles' two, but it was the goal | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
kicking that made the difference. Shane Geraghty was on song, while | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
Juan Pablo Socino had a day to forget. His normally reliable boot | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
letting him down in the swirling Kingston Park wind. On targdt with | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
just one of his seven attempts. While it was pleasing to sed the | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Falcons cross the whitewash, they've struggled in the goal`kicking | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
department since the departtre of Jimmy Gopperth. This kick to secure | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
a draw, bouncing off the post. Gateshead Thunder followed | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
the Falcons onto the new artificial pitch to continue | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
the exciting end to their sdason. Joe Brown opening the scoring | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
for the home side in their Rugby League Champhonship 1 | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
playoff agasint Hemel Stags. But it was nip | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
and tuck all the way and with scores level after 80 minutes | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
the game went into extra tile. Just four minutes in, | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
Matty Beharrell's dramatic golden`point drop`goal gave Thunder | :24:21. | :24:21. | |
a thrilling 15`14 victory to set up a play`off semifinal next wdekend | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
against Hunslet Hawks. And no cricket at Chester`ld`Street | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
because of the rain. Things turned cloudy at the weekend. | :24:39. | :24:50. | |
