Iraq. Hello and welcome to Wednesday's

:00:00.:00:00.

Look North. Tonight: A council brings in securitx guards

:00:00.:00:07.

for an 84th birthday party `t a care home it is planning to closd. The

:00:08.:00:10.

move is described as shameftl. Ed Miliband tells Look North

:00:11.:00:31.

there'll be more power for the regions if Labour wins the next

:00:32.:00:34.

election. Thanks for saving my life. The man

:00:35.:00:35.

who suffered a 22,000 volt dlectric shock meets the medics who rescued

:00:36.:00:38.

him. And a lost Lakeland village

:00:39.:00:40.

re`emerges from the depths of Haweswater ` thanks to a sunny

:00:41.:00:43.

September. In sport, there was a

:00:44.:00:44.

record`breaking but heart`breaking night for Boro at Anfield.

:00:45.:00:46.

A real treat for the neutrals, though. We'll show you all 30

:00:47.:00:52.

penalties in 30 seconds! Disgusting, disgraceful, sh`meful.

:00:53.:01:08.

That's how the behaviour of one of our councils has been descrhbed

:01:09.:01:10.

after it employed security guards at a care home where a pensiondr was

:01:11.:01:14.

celebrating his 84th birthd`y party. Don Robson and daughter in law

:01:15.:01:21.

Michelle have been staging ` sit`in against Durham County Counchl's

:01:22.:01:23.

plans to close Newton House in Stanhope. But ` on his last day in

:01:24.:01:34.

the home ` some of Don's relatives were refused entry to the p`rty The

:01:35.:01:38.

council said it employed thd security staff because the family

:01:39.:01:41.

refused to say how many people would be attending. Stuart Whincup

:01:42.:01:43.

reports. There were security guards `t the

:01:44.:01:47.

front door, patrolling the grounds, keeping watch. His family wdre

:01:48.:01:58.

refused entry. I'm his daughter and I'm outside. Friends and melbers of

:01:59.:02:03.

the media were locked out of the car park. All this because an

:02:04.:02:09.

84`year`old man was trying to celebrate his birthday. # H`ppy

:02:10.:02:12.

birthday to you #. The partx carried on inside while outside Don's

:02:13.:02:17.

daughter was still struggling to get I'm disgusted, I'm shocked,

:02:18.:02:19.

I cannot believe that. They

:02:20.:02:22.

are spending all this money on security when they cannot kdep

:02:23.:02:25.

council care homes open. Thdy will do anything to stop us going in to

:02:26.:02:32.

see him. Only 15 people were allowed

:02:33.:02:40.

inside but no one seemed to know Is 15 the full capacity?

:02:41.:02:49.

It's a big building.

:02:50.:02:51.

It's a bit heavy handed. I don't have to comment.

:02:52.:02:56.

Then the alarms went off again. This is

:02:57.:03:07.

disgusting and disgraceful behaviour.

:03:08.:03:10.

what do they think is going to happen?

:03:11.:03:16.

It's a party for an 84`year`old!

:03:17.:03:19.

The countil say they were concerned it was widely

:03:20.:03:21.

advertised on social media `nd Mrs Robson refused to take

:03:22.:03:27.

responsibility for security measures.

:03:28.:03:37.

I'm ashamed to be a member of this council.

:03:38.:03:41.

Despite it all, he said he enjoyed his birthday and was

:03:42.:03:44.

sorry to be leaving. I'm gohng to cry that's the trouble. I al that

:03:45.:03:51.

worked up. How do you feel `bout this being your last day? I didn't

:03:52.:03:54.

think it would happen, but life s like that, it just goes on. So after

:03:55.:04:02.

So after the sirens, security and arguments

:04:03.:04:06.

Don's family said their protest was over. Today was their last day in

:04:07.:04:08.

Newton House. Police are investigating thd death

:04:09.:04:22.

of a woman in east Cleveland. The body of the 39 year old was

:04:23.:04:24.

found at a house on New Road Officers are treating her ddath

:04:25.:04:28.

as unexplained. A 37`old man's been arrested

:04:29.:04:31.

and is being questioned by police An investigation's underway at

:04:32.:04:34.

Durham Prison following the death of an inmate. 32 year`old Kevin Forster

:04:35.:04:40.

was found ill in his cell tdn days ago at six in the morning. He died

:04:41.:04:43.

an hour and a half later. A Prison Service spokesperson said the

:04:44.:04:47.

Independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman would conduct an

:04:48.:04:49.

investigation. A four`year battle over a

:04:50.:04:57.

controversial waste inciner`tor in North Yorkshire has ended today The

:04:58.:04:59.

County Council approved the plans this afternoon for the site at

:05:00.:05:01.

Allerton Park near Knaresborough, despite strong protests. It'll cost

:05:02.:05:09.

one point four billion pounds over 25 years but will burn

:05:10.:05:15.

enough waste to heat more than forty thousand homes. Today's dechsion has

:05:16.:05:18.

been a bitter blow for camp`igners who've fought the project every step

:05:19.:05:20.

of the way. More power for the regions ` that's

:05:21.:05:24.

what Labour is promising if it wins the next election. But what exactly

:05:25.:05:27.

does that mean for the North East and Cumbria? There's renewed concern

:05:28.:05:30.

that our region could be left behind as a stack of new powers ard handed

:05:31.:05:33.

to Scotland in the wake of the independence referendum. Our

:05:34.:05:37.

Political Correspondent Mark Denten met Labour leader Ed Miliband on the

:05:38.:05:39.

last day of his party's conference in Manchester. He began by `sking

:05:40.:05:42.

him what specific powers he'd hand Bting together people to sax how we

:05:43.:05:45.

want to change things. It is really important to hdar athe

:05:46.:07:34.

voice of the northeast. Our confernce is about a re`l plan

:07:35.:08:45.

for th future. Our region is coping with those differences in a way that

:08:46.:08:50.

other parts are not. You say you are going to offer

:08:51.:08:58.

thanks to other parts of thd country.

:08:59.:09:01.

That is why we are looking `t things but we need it to be people in the

:09:02.:09:10.

north`east that say what thdy want. This is a huge process of ddvolution

:09:11.:09:23.

but also looking at what arda by area people want to see. I don't

:09:24.:09:26.

know if you have driven up the it is hopeless. Will you address it?

:09:27.:09:40.

We have got to get the deficit down so I cannot make a false promise. We

:09:41.:10:00.

are looking at what they find that because careers events was that they

:10:01.:10:02.

weren't given new benefits. He suffered a 22,000 volt dlectric

:10:03.:10:34.

shock in an accident which put him in a coma for three weeks. Now John

:10:35.:10:38.

Dodsworth has been to visit the medics who rescued him. John was

:10:39.:10:41.

working on a farm in County Durham when a piece of equipment hd was

:10:42.:10:44.

using touched an overhead power line. Phil Chapman has the story.

:10:45.:11:21.

I had severe burns. They put a plate in my head. I now

:11:22.:11:30.

have got a nice metal plate. Were they for auction they reckon.

:11:31.:11:38.

If it hadn't been for them, he wouldn't be here today. Thex also

:11:39.:11:41.

helped my brother. I just want to shake you by the hand

:11:42.:11:47.

and say thank you. Now the whole family is preparing to

:11:48.:11:52.

take part in the Great North Run to raise much`needed funds.

:11:53.:11:55.

We rely entirely on fundraising All We rely entirely on fundraising

:11:56.:12:10.

training and all the staff for the Ambulance Service. All that money is

:12:11.:12:14.

used correctly and we lose `s much as soon as we can to have the newest

:12:15.:12:20.

equipment and everything we need to go.

:12:21.:12:36.

It has certainly been a dry and sunny September four many of us and

:12:37.:12:38.

in Cumbria has up in the valley and had wonderful

:12:39.:14:24.

sentimental memories of it. People have been trekking b`ck and

:14:25.:14:28.

forth. It must create memorhes. It has endless fascination. People know

:14:29.:14:33.

if there is the slightest 's ability of anything emerging from the

:14:34.:14:37.

water, they come from quite great distances.

:14:38.:14:44.

What happens to the people? He went out gradually, it wasn't a lass of

:14:45.:14:48.

eviction. We are going to have to cut it off

:14:49.:14:58.

but thank you. Still to come: The National Railway

:14:59.:15:02.

Museum reaches its 10th anniversary. We ask what it has done

:15:03.:15:10.

for the local economy. Join me for the weather fordcast.

:15:11.:15:25.

Primary school children on North Tyneside have been staging their own

:15:26.:15:29.

fashion show to raise awareness about the importance of road safety.

:15:30.:15:33.

It's all part of Operation Dragoon, a Northumbria Police initiative to

:15:34.:15:35.

cut road casualties among young people. Hannah Bayman reports.

:15:36.:15:58.

Each of these young models has designed their own outfit, cutting

:15:59.:16:08.

up uniforms donated by the police. There has been lots of disctssion in

:16:09.:16:13.

class, they have had assemblies from the police. They have had elergency

:16:14.:16:23.

vehicles. I think it is a d`y they will never afford get.

:16:24.:16:35.

There was lots of happy facds. When someone is trapped inshde a car

:16:36.:16:40.

this is what we used to cut the door off.

:16:41.:16:44.

Now the alternates are drawhng in, they are taking this safety project

:16:45.:17:09.

in schools across the area. The children have been enjoxing

:17:10.:17:13.

playing and finding out abott vehicles and safety messages. What

:17:14.:17:15.

is really important as parents getting involved as well. Btt also

:17:16.:17:22.

go home and tell their parents all about it.

:17:23.:17:25.

Now the children here are doing their best to be seen. The hope is

:17:26.:17:32.

that drivers will do their bets to look out for them.

:17:33.:17:40.

Those nights are getting darker The National Railway Museum in

:17:41.:17:43.

County Durham is ten years old. In that time it is claimed that the

:17:44.:17:48.

museum has pumped millions of pounds into economy, and brought ndarly 2

:17:49.:17:56.

million visitors. This is more than a visit to an

:17:57.:18:02.

attraction. The Railway Musdum has become a driver of regeneration

:18:03.:18:07.

Take a brown field sites, ?01 million, and ten years later this is

:18:08.:18:14.

what you get. There are 35 members of staff and we

:18:15.:18:17.

work with people and the wider region who we support. We stpport 74

:18:18.:18:25.

jobs. It puts about 3.6 million into the local economy and we work with

:18:26.:18:29.

local businesses. The museum says it has seen 1.8

:18:30.:18:33.

million visitors over the l`st decade. This is the sort of event

:18:34.:18:42.

they have attended. This ye`r's gathering of locomotives. More will

:18:43.:18:49.

come to see this. The goods carriage that transported Winston Chtrchill

:18:50.:18:58.

to his burial place. I am really ploughed to be `` proud

:18:59.:19:04.

to be involved in this high`profile event. When we are removing lots of

:19:05.:19:12.

old woodwork and replacing ht with new. It is in reasonable condition

:19:13.:19:19.

but some springs needs refurbished and replaced and it will be

:19:20.:19:24.

repainted. This has given Richard employment

:19:25.:19:29.

after losing his factory job. New houses have been built in its

:19:30.:19:36.

shadow. A museum helping to paint a brighter future for this sm`ll part

:19:37.:19:39.

of County Durham. Well if we're to have a football

:19:40.:20:21.

team in the last 16 of the League Cup, Newcastle United will have to

:20:22.:20:24.

beat Alan Pardew's old club Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this

:20:25.:20:26.

evening. Commentary on BBC Newcastle. Last night, therd were

:20:27.:20:29.

defeats for Sunderland AND Middlesbrough. But Boro couldn't

:20:30.:20:31.

have come ANY closer to makhng the next round after a record`breaking

:20:32.:20:39.

penalty shoot`out. Dawn Thewlis tried to keep count!

:20:40.:20:42.

Initially it may not have bden the start young on loan keeper Jamal

:20:43.:20:45.

Blackman was hoping for on his debut when a mix up with fellow Chelsea

:20:46.:20:48.

loanee Kenneth Omeruo allowdd Jordan Rossiter put Liverpool ahead ` but

:20:49.:20:51.

he was to make up for it later. A resilient Boro fought back. Adam

:20:52.:20:54.

Reach heading in Grant Leadbitters free kick to level the scord and

:20:55.:20:57.

send the game into extra tile. When Suso put the Reds back in front for

:20:58.:21:01.

a second time it looked to be game over but Aitor Karanka;s side were

:21:02.:21:04.

handed a lifeline when Kolo Toure brought down Patrick Bamford in the

:21:05.:21:06.

dying moments and the substhtute cooly stepped up to send Silon

:21:07.:21:10.

Mignolet the wrong way. But if that was dramatic ` the real drala was

:21:11.:21:24.

yet to come as the longest penalty shoot out in the history of the

:21:25.:21:27.

League Cup unfolded in front of the But as the

:21:28.:21:30.

shootout reached number 30 ` a lapse in concentration saw Albert Adomah

:21:31.:21:33.

send his kick wide to hand Liverpool victory. A defeat for Boro xes ` but

:21:34.:21:35.

they can hold their heads hhgh! I told them after the game that I

:21:36.:21:43.

didn't have words to tell them how proud I am because we were fighting

:21:44.:21:51.

against one team like Liverpool in Anfield and how difficult it is

:21:52.:21:57.

Finally we lost. It is an alazing game.

:21:58.:22:00.

Albert Adomah, who missed that last penalty admitted he'd actually lost

:22:01.:22:05.

count! Meanwhile ` despite dominating much of the game and

:22:06.:22:08.

carving out several decent chances ` last

:22:09.:22:11.

season's losing finalists Stnderland bowed out rather tamely in the end,

:22:12.:22:15.

beaten 2`1 by Stoke City who had a little more pace and cutting edge.

:22:16.:22:18.

In fact it was the Wearsiders who went in front with a real

:22:19.:22:21.

collector's item. United St`tes striker Jozy Altidore scored his

:22:22.:22:24.

first goal in 30 games with a smart finish. Marc Muniesa equalised for

:22:25.:22:27.

the visitors before the bre`k. Black Cats head coach Gus Poyet w`s angry

:22:28.:22:33.

Steven N'Zonzi WASN'T sent off for grabbing Jack Rodwell round the

:22:34.:22:37.

neck, but Stoke WERE more clinical in front of goal and ` after calls

:22:38.:22:41.

for a foul on Adam Johnson went unheeded Muniesa scored his second

:22:42.:22:44.

with twenty minutes to go. So a disappointing exit for Sunddrland

:22:45.:22:46.

after last season's cup heroics But Stoke's first win at the St`dium of

:22:47.:22:49.

Light. Yorkshire's Joe Root and Durham

:22:50.:22:52.

all`rounder Ben Stokes have been named in the England squad for the

:22:53.:22:56.

one day tour to Sri Lanka. Hn the county championship Warwickshire

:22:57.:22:59.

look well placed to avenge their cup final defeat by Durham last weekend.

:23:00.:23:02.

and new champions Yorkshire may struggle to pick up their nhnth win

:23:03.:23:05.

of the season with Somerset on top at Headingley. Thank you very much.

:23:06.:23:16.

We were hearing earlier how it spin dryer and we were talking about

:23:17.:23:22.

Mardale, how are things? Yes, we have had some rain but now

:23:23.:23:28.

we're near what we should h`ve. Lovely bright skies again today

:23:29.:23:33.

Thank you for this picture. A different day tomorrow, a cloudy and

:23:34.:23:39.

damp start. It will be breezy and western regions will stay d`mp. East

:23:40.:23:45.

of the Pennines for any brightness. Milder in the East as well. Lots of

:23:46.:23:51.

cloud today. That is the picture we have for this evening. Up to the

:23:52.:23:56.

North, that is thicker credht `` code which is heading our w`y.

:23:57.:24:00.

Temperatures will dip into single figures. Temperatures will recover

:24:01.:24:07.

later as clouded thickens up. The wind will pick up as well, heading

:24:08.:24:11.

to the south`west. This clotd could produce patchy rain, mostly overcome

:24:12.:24:20.

the and North but `` Northulberland. Most regions will have rain

:24:21.:24:23.

tomorrow, most widespread in the West. Eastern regions will start to

:24:24.:24:30.

dry up in the afternoon. A bit of brightness. It will be quitd

:24:31.:24:34.

breezy, with the wind coming from the south`west. You will sed some

:24:35.:24:41.

bright spells in the East whth some very mild temperatures, up to 2

:24:42.:24:48.

Celsius. Somewhere on the north east coast will edge into the low 20s

:24:49.:24:53.

tomorrow. Different for Cumbria drizzly rain on and off throughout

:24:54.:24:58.

the day, especially if you `re exposed to the winds. That hs the

:24:59.:25:03.

picture for tomorrow. This weather front comes down from the north

:25:04.:25:09.

tomorrow night. It will bring rain but produces pressure conditions for

:25:10.:25:14.

Friday. Bright and breezy stms it up into Saturday. After the tahl end of

:25:15.:25:21.

the working week, the weekend will stay mostly drive. It will be breezy

:25:22.:25:30.

but largely dry. Not that bad. We're not complaining

:25:31.:25:35.

for October as we approach ht. That's over now. Join us later. Good

:25:36.:25:37.

evening. I go round the country

:25:38.:26:09.

and talk to people and so many people say life's an incredible

:26:10.:26:13.

struggle at the moment and even if it's not a struggle now, they

:26:14.:26:17.

feel uncertain about the future What kind of future is

:26:18.:26:21.

my family going to have? People have lost that confidence

:26:22.:26:25.

that there is going to be a future that is better than

:26:26.:26:27.

the past, that their kids are going I think that now there's sense

:26:28.:26:29.

of we have been through the pain, we have made the sacrifices, where

:26:30.:26:34.

is the vision for the country? It's time we had a plan

:26:35.:26:37.

and that's what my plan

:26:38.:26:42.
