That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
They didn't stand a chance ` accidental death verdicts | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
on three kayakers swept awax and drowned in the River Tyne. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
The Northern Rock Foundation is to close after giving more than | :00:15. | :00:17. | |

And Dummett's the hero at P`lace as a cup win gives the Magphes | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
The families of three men khlled in a kayaking accident on the | :00:44. | :01:01. | |
River Tyne near Hexham have demanded urgent action to stop such | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Brothers Mark and Darren Thorpe died alongside | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
their cousin Gavin Bradley when they were overwhelmed at a weir. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Today, an inquest heard thex were probably taken by surprise | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
But the family say they're pleading for better river safety measures | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
and now the coroner has pledged to raise the issue. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
They thought they knew what to expect. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Two brothers and their cousin kayaking on thd Tyne. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
As they approached the weir at Riding Mill, they found | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
We now know that the area is a very dangerous, sinister feature on the | :01:38. | :02:01. | |
River. Anyone who finds himself on the river at that flow rate, is | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
heading towards certain death. Their sit`on kayaks, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
the inquest heard, on this day, certain to be overwhelmed | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
by the sheer pull of the water. The conditions were lethal. The | :02:09. | :02:21. | |
brother was high. The current would have been significant and flowing | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
fast and with an great a distance, it would have been willing strongly | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
over. It's really worrying becausd over | :02:28. | :04:31. | |
recent years, there have bedn less and less funding available `nd more | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
charities needing to set up to meet social and economic need. There are | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
more of us trying to take from an ever shrinking pot. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
In truth, doubts about the Foundation's future | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
were first raised when Northern Rock collapsed in 2008 and continued when | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
The big problem was that whhle Virgin Money offered to support | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
the foundation, giving it ?0 million a year for the next five ye`rs. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
It would only do so on the condition the Foundation matched it | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
by raising ?3 million pounds a year from the private sector loc`lly | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
What they have said is that they will be happy to put ?1 million per | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
year in but they want other companies from this area to | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
contribute as well. There are 1 other companies that are a lot | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
bigger than Virgin Money. If everybody could contribute | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
something, hopefully we can get more than the 4 million pounds `` ?4 | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
million per year that is nedded Kath says her charity helps people | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
who have nowhere else to turn. What, she asks, | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
will happen to them if it's soon Well, Stuart joins me from the | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
BBC Tees newsroom now. What charity funding will | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
be available going forward? After heeding the foundation was | :05:57. | :06:09. | |
likely to close, Virgin Mondy said it would put ?1 million into the | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
community. The bulk of it whll go towards a youth centre. The money | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
was welcomed but to put it hn context, at its height, the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
foundation was putting ?127 million per year and to local charities | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
There is a big gap there. A lot of charities say they will havd to | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
battle each other for the slall amount of grants that are available. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
It is inevitable that some charities will have to close. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
Police are appealing for information after a wom`n | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
in her 40s was raped in a Stnderland park on Monday afternoon. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
It happened in Mowbray Park, between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
Officers say the woman was approached by an Asian | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
Officers are carrying out extra patrols in the area. | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
The County Durham breeder of American Bulldogs, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
who was attacked by two of his own dogs, has lost his arm as a result. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Stephen Potts was mauled in High Pittington on Sunday. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Horrified neighbours tried to help, and police firearms officers | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Now Mr Potts' father has told the BBC his son has had | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
his right arm amputated and that he's in a 'stable' condition. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Two teenage boys in Carlisld had to be treated in hospital after smoking | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
e`cigarettes which, police suspect, may have contained a synthetic form | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
A 15`year`old boy had to be taken twice to the Cumberland Infhrmary | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
while a 14 year`old was also given treatment after collapsing. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
A 55`year`old man and a 52`xear`old woman were arrested at a shop | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
They've been bailed until the end of next month. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
The first is that children `re potentially getting hold | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
The second, larger issue is that whatever these children havd been | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
consuming and inhaling is potentially harmful to their health. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
A new claim about contaminated sweets has come to light involving | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
a Newcastle factory at the centre of an investigation. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Prescription drugs were discovered last month on the Jelly Tots | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
production line at Nestle's sweet factory in Fawdon. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Now a woman in Peterborough says she found an ibuprofen tablet in | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
But Nestle says it's conducted a full investigation and cotld find | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
nothing to indicate the pill entered the product in its factory. | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
Poor behaviour in classrooms in England is damaging children s | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
education according to an Ofsted report published today. | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
It suggests 'low`level disrtption' causes some pupils to lose tp to | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Graham Satchell's been to one school in Stockton`on`Tees, which has | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Lunchtime at North Shore Ac`demy and the head, Mr Rogers, | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
Two years ago, this school was in special measures. | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
It had some of the worst behaviour anywhere in the country. | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Typical behaviour would be smoking in school, swearing at membdrs | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
of staff, climbing out of whndows, running away during the day. | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
After lunch, the children line up in sildnce | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Today, under the new regime, there is no tolerance | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
We are extremely strict with our students. | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
We have nonnegotiable rules regarding behaviour. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
But they are in the best interests of crdating | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
This school is turning itself around but today's report bx Ofsted | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
says poor behaviour in schools is damaging like chances of chhldren. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
The report talks of behaviour that might appdar quite | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
trivial like using mobile phones, swinging on chairs, even hulming. | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
The students here say low`ldvel disruption in the past meant the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
culture in the school was one where learning wasn't taken seriotsly | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Disrespect towards teachers and I think that affected a lot | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
I was thick when I first st`rted but I think I'm starting to learn a load | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
If there is so much bad beh`viour in schools, who's to blame? | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
Ofsted are pointing the finger squarely at headteachers. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
In the report, two thirds of teachers say school leaddrs are | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
failing to assert authority when dealing with poor dischpline. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
It is a claim that has angered some headteachers. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
It's terribly demoralising for headteachers who feel under | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
What surprises me about this report is that Ofsted has consistently | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
said that behaviour is very good in the majority of schools and that | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
raises big questions about the validity of the inspection findings. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
Ofsted changed the way they inspect school behaviour in January. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
They are urging headteachers to follow Mr Rogers's example, | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
to be a visible presence and crack down hard on bad behaviour. | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
The UKIP leader Nigel Faragd says the North East | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
and Cumbria 'mustn't miss ott' if Scotland is given extra powers. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Mr Farage says the Barnett Formula, which allocates more Governlent | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
money to Scotland than northern England, must be reviewed | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Our political editor Richard Moss met up with him ahead of his party's | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
conference in Doncaster and began by asking him what he'd do to help | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
There's a huge appetite in the North of England and elsewhere across the | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
country that be want English only votes in Westminster, the North in | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
particular. They have been disadvantaged by the Barnett Formula | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
and I think it is outrageous that Miller band, Cameron and Cldgg Nadir | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
promise without referring to anybody about giving more capital to the | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
north of the country. Even the man who invented it said it was based on | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
a miscalculation from the start If Scotland was more devolved power, | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
fine, but it also has to st`rt losing its own money. You fhnished | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
second in the by`elections. You have an MEP in the north. They w`nt to | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
win MPs in the North? `` do you want. Yes. The Labour state that | :12:52. | :13:03. | |
represents many big cities, I'm not seeing it as an easy nut to crack. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
But there is no genuine opposition apart from UKIP. What happened in | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
South Shields in a very short space of time shows that you can have huge | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
potential and the North of Dngland. `` UKIP have. Would it really be a | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
success if you got a few thousand votes in that seat and put ` Labour | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
member in there? James Wharton is desperate for written to st`y part | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
of the European Union. He's on my side. You've been putting hhm out | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
for a Labour member who didn't want a referendum at all. He shotld | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
probably thank me because pdople probably take more Labour sdats | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
there than Tory ones. The ?600 million figure we got last week He | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
said that will be money well spent is that the UKIP commitment? No it | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
is the UKIP opinion. `` the UKIP opinion. MPs and MEPs lobby to try | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
to get things changed. You want Labour votes but how does that | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
square with Paul Nuttall, your deputy who says that, I would like | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
to congratulate the governmdnt for bringing a weft of privatis`tion. | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
The Labour have done a phenomenal amount and cost taxpayers bhllions | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
to privatise the NHS. I think it has gone too far. | :14:54. | :15:05. | |
Bamburgh Castle stars in the latest BBC drama serhes to be | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
The latest prickly customers to arrive at an animal sanctuary | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
And I love the weather forecast live from the 2014 illuminations `` I'll | :15:14. | :15:28. | |
have the weather. One of Northumberland's most iconic | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
landmarks has been transforled into a military defence resdarch | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
centre, complete with mysteries It's for a new CBBC series, | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
which airs next summer, the latest in a long line of children's dramas | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
breathing life into Our arts reporter Sharuna S`gar has | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
been on location with the c`st An ancient Northumbrian is | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
the star of the BBC's new children's Castles all over | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
the country were auditioned but Bamburgh was chosen bec`use it | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
just perfect for the part d`rling. We just kept coming | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
back to Bamburgh. It had all the things we wanted that | :16:07. | :16:19. | |
were in the script. It had ` military feel to it. It had stunning | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
views. We have a small vill`ge close by which is actually in the script | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
so it is as if the writers `ctually wrote about Bamburgh Castle. | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
And the story they wrote, set in and around those majdstic | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
walls, is about six teenagers who get caught up in adventures within | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
a military defence research centre with the ever`present threat | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
But despite the location, there's only one North East actor | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
in the cast and he started off in the region's most famous | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
I've always had this idea of being on the Northumberland coast and | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
shooting close to home. Then I got a call from my agent to do eg for a | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
show called World's End. He asked if I knew Bamburgh. I was excited as | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
soon as I got the call. And the chance to film closd to home | :17:15. | :17:15. | |
is also welcomed by local crew A lot of people have left the | :17:16. | :17:27. | |
north`east after Byker Grovd because there wasn't much around, btt it is | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
coming back now, which is great It is later different people hdre, we | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
don't just wanted your days `` we don't just want geordies. It follows | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
on many dramas that were filmed in this region. It is safe to say it is | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
fast becoming the centre for children's drama in the UK. | :18:04. | :18:14. | |
Sunderland's former striker Asamoah Gyan has held | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
a press conference to deny killing his best friend after the rtmour | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Gyan is the country's all`thme top scorer as well as a pop star but | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
after suggestions he murderdd fellow rapper Castro, who he appeared with | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
in this video, in a ritual sacrifice, he felt he had to come | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
The rumours spread after Castro and his girlfriend disappeared while | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
Well, it was a good night for Alan Pardew last night, a r`re thing | :18:42. | :18:58. | |
at the moment for the Newcastle boss as the Magpies pulled off a late win | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Alan Pardew was feeling the love at his old club ` cheers | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
from the home fans and no protests from the travelling Toon Arly. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Both sides rang the changes ` 11 for Crystal Palace but it was | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
never going to be an easy g`me for United against a side rejuvdnated | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
And against the run of play it was the home sidd that | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
went ahead after Daryl Janm`at needlessly brought down Wilfried | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Zaha in the box, leaving Dwhght Gayle to convert the penaltx. | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
But Newcastle deservedly levelled the score through Manu Rividre with | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
his first competitive goal for the club. | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
And when Sammy Ameobi went down in the box, | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
just after the break the ?6 million summer signing from Monaco, made it | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
But just as it looked like they'd clinched victorx, | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
Kaikai came off the bench to send the game into extra time. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
United were down to ten men for most of the period when Medhi Abdid was | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
sent off for a second yellow card but they showed plenty of fhght | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Gayle had an acrobatic volley ruled ott for | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
offside and it was the youngsters who finally sealed the deal. | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
17`year`old Adam Armstrong's cross headed in by Paul Dumlett | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
Relief and as much as we should have won it in 90 minutes. It was a | :20:06. | :20:18. | |
sloppy goal to give away. It was an entertaining game, there was a lot | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
happening and I felt we showed a tremendous spirit of character to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
come through and some real puality performances, particularly from the | :20:28. | :20:28. | |

have picked up an incredibld six British Basketball League thtles | :21:12. | :21:15. | |

be, I don't know. What trials and tribulations we will have to go | :21:42. | :21:46. | |

ourselves one way or the other `` have to prove. | :21:51. | :21:52. | |

We've got to ensure that thdy put somewhere where they're going to be | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
safe from public viewing because I think people would take an dnormous | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
