:00:07. > :00:08.Tonight: as campaigners prepare to march between hospitals tnder
:00:09. > :00:14.There are claims the NHS here could be over budget
:00:15. > :00:19.Also tonight: The postcode lottery for cannabis convictions.
:00:20. > :00:21.One force says it's no longdr pursuing small-time users.
:00:22. > :00:34.The police do not arrest evdry drunk. We could not rest evdryone
:00:35. > :00:36.who is smoking cannabis. It doesn't mean we are condoning cannabis use
:00:37. > :00:39.or drunkenness, absolutely not. Why horse owners have becomd
:00:40. > :00:43.the target of thieves in ond And on the mend, the K9
:00:44. > :00:47.detective who came a cropper In sport, can Championship-leaders
:00:48. > :00:51.Newcastle make it five wins in row? And at the bottom of
:00:52. > :00:53.the Premier League, can Moyds and Middlesbrough relieve some
:00:54. > :00:55.pressure with a capital Within five years the NHS
:00:56. > :01:17.across the North East and Ctmbria could be over budget by mord
:01:18. > :01:19.than ?1 billion if nothing And tomorrow, a group of calpaigners
:01:20. > :01:27.will begin a march between hospitals in County Durham and Teesside
:01:28. > :01:30.to draw attention to what they claim are plans to cut
:01:31. > :01:32.services as a result. NHS bosses in the region adlit
:01:33. > :01:34.they're having to make efficiency savings, but argue they'll `lso
:01:35. > :01:37.deliver better care for pathents by changing how, and from where
:01:38. > :01:39.services are delivered. Jo and other campaigners have become
:01:40. > :01:53.so concerned about what might happen to the service where they lhve
:01:54. > :01:56.they're marching from hospital All services in our NHS footprint
:01:57. > :02:00.area, which is the area that we re We know we could end up with only
:02:01. > :02:07.one A in this area. What Jo and other campaigners
:02:08. > :02:09.are worried about are what's known as Sustainability and Transformation
:02:10. > :02:12.Plans. These have been drawn up
:02:13. > :02:14.for each health region, or "footprint", across the country,
:02:15. > :02:17.and have now been In the North East and Cumbrha,
:02:18. > :02:26.draft plans and other documdnts this programme has seen say the NHS
:02:27. > :02:29.here will be more than ?1 bhllion over budget by 2021 if it doesn t
:02:30. > :02:32.make efficiency savings and change On Teesside this might mean
:02:33. > :02:38.the downgrading of A units at either or both North Tees
:02:39. > :02:42.Hospital in Stockton, or here And across the wider Teesside
:02:43. > :02:52.area, other services We asked those behind the NHS
:02:53. > :02:55.Sustainability and Transforlation plans for Durham and Teesside
:02:56. > :02:57.for an interview. And the Health Secretary sahd this
:02:58. > :03:32.week that a more efficient heath What I don't accept is that in order
:03:33. > :03:39.to make those efficiency savings you have to make changes th`t will
:03:40. > :03:46.impact negatively on patient care. Well, a short time ago
:03:47. > :04:01.I asked Fergus what critics The governor pledged to spend an
:04:02. > :04:05.extra baked billion pounds on the NHS by Twenty20 at the last election
:04:06. > :04:08.which means that if the NHS keep spending at the current ratd will
:04:09. > :04:12.exceed its budget by about ?22 billion, more than a billion of that
:04:13. > :04:16.from this region. It is happening for fried arrow and freedoms
:04:17. > :04:24.including rising demand and an ageing population. -- a varhety of
:04:25. > :04:28.reasons. The government says the NHS must make efficiency savings and
:04:29. > :04:32.change the way they care for patients. The sustainabilitx and
:04:33. > :04:37.transformation plans are all part of the mix and part of how it light be
:04:38. > :04:40.done. We heard that means dhfficult and unpopular choices are h`ving to
:04:41. > :04:45.be made about health servicds and who gets what and from wherd. The
:04:46. > :04:51.Labour Party disputes the idea that the scale of savings being demanded
:04:52. > :04:56.from the NHS can be deliverdd without adversely affecting
:04:57. > :05:00.patients. This will have massive impact in my area. The north-east is
:05:01. > :05:05.one of the areas in the country with the lowest life expectancy `nd the
:05:06. > :05:09.poorest health and to cut, these are not savings or efficiencies, these
:05:10. > :05:13.are cuts to the NHS budget `t a time when an ageing population whth her
:05:14. > :05:18.complex health needs means we need more spent on the NHS in thd
:05:19. > :05:21.north-east. It will have a devastating blow. Strong words from
:05:22. > :05:26.labour there but the governlent continues to insist it has protected
:05:27. > :05:30.the NHS budget while other `reas of NHS spending have been cut back
:05:31. > :05:33.And you can see more on this, on Sunday Politics this
:05:34. > :05:38.Sunday morning at 11.00am, here on BBC One.
:05:39. > :05:43.An inquest's ruled a decision to terminate a prisoner's hospital
:05:44. > :05:56.visits to see her new-born baby probably contributed to her death.
:05:57. > :05:58.33-year-old Michelle Barnes from Cumbria was found hangdd
:05:59. > :06:00.in her cell at Low Newton Prison in Durham last December.
:06:01. > :06:04.She had wanted to keep her child in jail with her, but Cumbrha Social
:06:05. > :06:07.Services decided it was in the best interests for the baby to bd
:06:08. > :06:11.Our reporter Stuart Whincup's been at the inquest in Crook tod`y
:06:12. > :06:14.So Stuart, give us the background to the case.
:06:15. > :06:18.Well, back in June 2015 Michelle Barnes was sent to prison for two
:06:19. > :06:20.years for drugs offences. At the time she was pregnant and w`nting to
:06:21. > :06:23.be transferred to another prison with a mother and baby unit and she
:06:24. > :06:26.wanted to take care of the child. Cumbria social services dechded it
:06:27. > :06:29.was in the best interests of that child when it was born that it
:06:30. > :06:34.should be taken into care. She was told this by a social worker and she
:06:35. > :06:40.replied that if they take mx baby I will go to. Last December she was
:06:41. > :06:45.found hanged in her prison cell The coroner had great concerns about
:06:46. > :06:48.the treatment of Michelle B`rnes? Yes, he said he had rarely had so
:06:49. > :06:53.many major concerns about so many issues. He said clearly the prison
:06:54. > :06:59.had no clear plan in place of what they would do when she was
:07:00. > :07:02.discharged from hospital. Hdr birthing plan was described as
:07:03. > :07:06.confusing and inadequate and simply not fit for purpose. Some whtnesses
:07:07. > :07:09.had told the inquest that she would be able to visit her baby in the
:07:10. > :07:13.hospital but other witnesses said she would have no chance wh`tsoever
:07:14. > :07:17.of visiting her baby. There were clear concerns about the birthing
:07:18. > :07:22.plan for pregnant women at the prison and he said he felt those
:07:23. > :07:26.needed to be addressed to present -- prevent future fatalities.
:07:27. > :07:29.A man's been charged with the murder of Jodie Wilkinson.
:07:30. > :07:30.The 27-year-old was stabbed in Stanhope Street,
:07:31. > :07:36.David Waterston, who's 43 and of Hamilton Place
:07:37. > :07:42.in the city, will appear at Magistrates Court tomorrow.
:07:43. > :07:47.Eight other people arrested in connection with the investigation
:07:48. > :07:58.A man's died after falling from a height on board one
:07:59. > :08:00.of the cargo ships anchored off the coast of Tynemouth.
:08:01. > :08:02.The seaman from Ukraine was working on board the 590
:08:03. > :08:06.The ship is one of three whhch have been there since July.
:08:07. > :08:09.The vessel has been taken into the Port of Tyne while police
:08:10. > :08:13.Two men have been arrested on suspicion of causing anilal
:08:14. > :08:15.cruelty after a dog was found with severe injuries
:08:16. > :08:19.The men are aged 60 and 59 and are from the Redcar are`.
:08:20. > :08:21.Police say they'll be interviewed by the RSPCA officer
:08:22. > :08:24.Planners in Copeland are recommending approval
:08:25. > :08:26.for a ?300 million pipeline to supply water to west Cumbria
:08:27. > :08:32.United Utilities needs to fhnd an alternative to its current
:08:33. > :08:39.The pipe also needs the support of Allerdale council and thd Lake
:08:40. > :08:45.A postcode lottery, that's how cannabis users are describing
:08:46. > :08:52.the way the law is enforced in the North.
:08:53. > :08:53.Durham Police are no longer actively pursuing
:08:54. > :08:57.Police and Crime Commissiondr Ron Hogg has called
:08:58. > :09:01.But in tonight's Inside Out, opponents say the law shouldn't
:09:02. > :09:11.change and that Mr Hogg is wrong, as Chris Jackson explains.
:09:12. > :09:19.Trevor Coleman prepares to face the day, by rolling a joint. First thing
:09:20. > :09:24.is always the worst, pain shooting down my back and write down my
:09:25. > :09:29.thigh. I want to cry at timds. If I had any air left I would te`r it
:09:30. > :09:33.out. Trevor was a cable installer by back problems and depression meant
:09:34. > :09:37.he had to give up work. Aftdr taking cannabis oil on a piece of bread and
:09:38. > :09:43.smoking a joint, he claims the virtual transformation. There you
:09:44. > :09:48.go. I can move around quite freely and happily. I can still fedl it,
:09:49. > :09:52.don't get it wrong, there w`s tension to my waist and back. The
:09:53. > :09:57.law says possessing more cannabis without a licence is illegal but for
:09:58. > :10:01.more than a year Durham Polhce have been saying they will not go after
:10:02. > :10:05.small-time personal users who break the law. Data released to the BBC
:10:06. > :10:09.under the Freedom of Inform`tion Act shows that under the last four years
:10:10. > :10:18.charges for cannabis possession in Durham fell by 32%. Cautions fell by
:10:19. > :10:21.66%. Dorrans police and Crile Commissioners, Ron Hogg, has even
:10:22. > :10:25.called for medicinal use to be legalised. Opponents say he should
:10:26. > :10:30.shut up. I think he should shut up, yes, if no one is listening to him.
:10:31. > :10:34.He represents all of the people in Durham and not all of those people
:10:35. > :10:38.will want cannabis normalisdd and legalised. I have critics, H
:10:39. > :10:43.understand that, but that is not to say I should be silent. I rdpresent
:10:44. > :10:46.the views of many people in our communities and I have had no
:10:47. > :10:53.adverse reaction from members of our community. Even cannabis usdrs say
:10:54. > :10:57.the present situation is untenable. Just a joint in your hand c`n result
:10:58. > :11:03.in a fine or caution or it could result in nothing just depending on
:11:04. > :11:09.the area you live in and th`t police force that police officer that stops
:11:10. > :11:14.you. Some drugs users say you have left them in limbo now? How many
:11:15. > :11:18.drugs are rest on a Friday `nd Saturday night, the police cannot
:11:19. > :11:21.arrest every drunk and we c`nnot arrest everyone who smokes cannabis.
:11:22. > :11:27.Does that mean we are condoning cannabis and drunkenness? Absolutely
:11:28. > :11:28.not. If the government says it has no plans to legalise medicinal use
:11:29. > :11:30.of raw cannabis. Do you think Ron Hogg should shut
:11:31. > :11:34.up, or does he have a point? Watch Inside Out tonight
:11:35. > :12:03.at 7.30pm on BBC One. Ten months after it was wrecked

:12:10. > :12:12.been spent restoring the Bitts Park playground,
:12:13. > :12:13.next to the castle, Some of it's been designed to be
:12:14. > :12:20.used by children with disabhlities. This is an important playground and
:12:21. > :12:21.people have been asking us when we would get it reopened. We w`nted to
:12:22. > :12:22.get it right. For now, though, you're
:12:23. > :12:24.watching Look North, Dawn will be here to preview
:12:25. > :12:27.the weekend football. Plus: We join tourists
:12:28. > :12:29.on the Farne Islands, hoping to catch a glimpse
:12:30. > :12:34.of the first seal pups of the year. The weather is looking largdly
:12:35. > :12:37.settled this weekend with plenty of dry and fine weather. Join le later
:12:38. > :12:38.in the programme for the full forecast.
:12:39. > :12:40.The police have warned horsd owners to mark their equipment,
:12:41. > :12:43.after a spate of raids targdting North Yorkshire stables
:12:44. > :12:47.Over the last few weeks a wdalth of expensive equestrian
:12:48. > :12:53.items have been stolen, particularly in the Harrogate area.
:12:54. > :12:56.20 horse owners at a single yard were left devastated after dvery one
:12:57. > :13:11.Jama and 19 other horse owndrs at this yard near Harrogate each lost
:13:12. > :13:16.thousands of pounds worth of equipment on one night, one of a
:13:17. > :13:19.series of break-ins recentlx crops North Yorkshire. There are 20 of us
:13:20. > :13:23.that this yard on we all received a phone call to say that the xard had
:13:24. > :13:27.been absolutely ransacked. We came in to find out what had been taken
:13:28. > :13:31.and, as you can see, there hs absolutely nothing left in the air.
:13:32. > :13:36.They have ripped out the Saddlebacks on the wall. Each of us compete in a
:13:37. > :13:45.different discipline so there were numerous items per person t`ken we
:13:46. > :13:48.think in excess of ?30,000 hn total. Physically it was horrendous and
:13:49. > :13:51.emotionally I was crying in the middle of a field at 6am. It is just
:13:52. > :13:58.something that I would want anyone with authors not to go throtgh.
:13:59. > :14:02.Horses are expensive enough as they are and it is just another dxpense
:14:03. > :14:09.to deal with and is not needed. People work hard to have horses We
:14:10. > :14:13.have had delivery in yards, large and small, having tax stolen and
:14:14. > :14:18.here we had 20 victims of crime who each had a lot of items takdn and it
:14:19. > :14:22.had a devastating effect so we are encouraging all the North Yorkshire
:14:23. > :14:25.residents to be extra vigil`nt and report suspicious activity `nd we
:14:26. > :14:31.are encouraging everyone to get their tack mark. The police will be
:14:32. > :14:38.offering free tax marking sdssions in Harrogate, Richmond and Xork
:14:39. > :14:39.between now and Christmas. Something a bit more uplifthng now.
:14:40. > :14:41.A baby boom is underway in Northumberland, and it
:14:42. > :14:45.The pupping season for grey seals on the Farne Islands lasts
:14:46. > :14:48.from October until December, and this year there could bd
:14:49. > :14:52.The National Trust wardens `ttempt to find them all, as they cdnsus
:14:53. > :15:02.Autumn on the Farne Islands means pupping season for one
:15:03. > :15:09.of the biggest Grey Seal colonies in the country.
:15:10. > :15:19.The seals will start popping usually late September we see one or two but
:15:20. > :15:26.it really gets going in Novdmber so our earliest time is early `nd
:15:27. > :15:31.mid-November, and a pup mainly in the outer group so we had over a
:15:32. > :15:37.thousand pups born here last year on the main islands that the sdals use.
:15:38. > :15:41.Of course most people come to the final islands in the summer when
:15:42. > :15:44.they are teeming with sea bhrds but all the birds have gone now and the
:15:45. > :15:50.islands are devoted to the seals. The rages are out between now and
:15:51. > :15:55.December, counting them. Thdre could be up to 2000 grey seal pups born on
:15:56. > :15:59.the Farne Islands this year. They are born with this fluffy white coat
:16:00. > :16:03.on and they have that for a region of 21 days and they lose th`t coat
:16:04. > :16:06.as the mother stops feeding them. They spend another couple of weeks
:16:07. > :16:08.out on the land before they eventually feel the need to go off
:16:09. > :16:10.to see and start hunting. The newborn pups don't
:16:11. > :16:13.keep their white coats for long The wardens spray them with harmless
:16:14. > :16:16.dye to keep a count of the new Every four days a different colour
:16:17. > :16:24.is used so the wardens can keep The total number of pups born so far
:16:25. > :16:28.this autumn stands at 36, most of whom have a big orange
:16:29. > :16:31.blotch on their fluffy whitd coats. Their protective mothers give birth
:16:32. > :16:34.in the autumn because they need to be at maximum weight after spending
:16:35. > :16:46.the summer fattening up. They lose 60 kilograms of around
:16:47. > :16:50.three weeks when they are fdeding their pups, it is another lot of
:16:51. > :16:53.weight so they have to put the weight on in the peak fish season
:16:54. > :16:57.during the summer which is when they get most of their food. Seals are
:16:58. > :17:00.very good at surviving in cold weather as well and in the summer
:17:01. > :17:02.there is quite a risk that the pups could overheat because it would be
:17:03. > :17:03.too warm for them. The Northumberland coast
:17:04. > :17:05.in winter is rarely too warl. And this winter there could be
:17:06. > :17:15.record numbers of young seals born. Our Premier League clubs
:17:16. > :17:20.are in the capital tomorrow. Middlesbrough take on Arsen`l just
:17:21. > :17:23.days after the Gunners scordd six Bottom club Sunderland,
:17:24. > :17:30.on paper at least, face a more winnable fixture at fellow
:17:31. > :17:32.strugglers West Ham, whose only victory
:17:33. > :17:34.at their new home was But, although the injury situation's
:17:35. > :17:38.easing for Black Cats boss David Moyes, the pressure
:17:39. > :17:44.is rising. While one national newspaper
:17:45. > :17:46.was speculating about a mooted takeover of the club
:17:47. > :17:48.during the summer, the mess`ge coming out of the Sunderland
:17:49. > :17:50.boardroom this week was one According to its new chief
:17:51. > :17:54.executive, the Black Cats nded to embrace their regional roots
:17:55. > :17:57.be more strategic with their buying and selling of players,
:17:58. > :18:12.and end the cycle of chop We have a football club herd that
:18:13. > :18:16.has to be very synonymous whth its north-east identity. The fans, I
:18:17. > :18:19.think, one that from a football club and without being disparaging to
:18:20. > :18:23.anything that has gone before I think it has probably lost hts
:18:24. > :18:29.identity and tried at somethmes to be a club that it is not. Therefore
:18:30. > :18:32.it is very much a case of ldt's just do the basics correct, let's build
:18:33. > :18:34.and then take a more longer term approach.
:18:35. > :18:36.Of course, patience can wear thin among supporters, even thosd
:18:37. > :18:38.sympathetic to a long-term plan especially when the club's once
:18:39. > :18:41.again winless after eight g`mes the fifth-worst start by anx team
:18:42. > :18:50.I think the bigger pressure is from you boys, the questions that you are
:18:51. > :18:54.asking, that is probably more where the pressure comes from. Thd
:18:55. > :18:57.supporters are excellent, they understand we have been through a
:18:58. > :19:01.barrel with the managers and they are going to have to get a bit of
:19:02. > :19:02.stability. Sometimes it is the media that are not so keen on hearing that
:19:03. > :19:04.word. Tomorrow Moyes takes his side
:19:05. > :19:06.to the former Olympic Staditm, a new home that West Ham
:19:07. > :19:09.are struggling to adapt to. Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka
:19:10. > :19:11.managed a draw there but Boro have a tougher ask in the c`pital
:19:12. > :19:14.when they take on joint Premier League leaders,
:19:15. > :19:23.Arsenal, who knocked them ott We do not care if they won xesterday
:19:24. > :19:28.6-0 the previous game. We know they have experience and they have an
:19:29. > :19:34.amazing squad and amazing players and once again we have been working
:19:35. > :19:41.for two and a half years to play this kind of games. The plaxers are
:19:42. > :19:45.really good their attitude for a few moments on the games have bden
:19:46. > :19:48.really amazing. We can trust ourselves in my work.
:19:49. > :19:50.The Spaniard has had to defdnd himself against accusations that
:19:51. > :19:52.he's too negative and too inflexible tactically,

:21:04. > :21:10.wants. It is more my style, how this coach plays and the movements that
:21:11. > :21:17.he wants the players to makd is more suitable for me but I am also still

:24:43. > :24:45.now for the weather. It is the end of October but it looks likd a
:24:46. > :24:49.reasonable weekend ahead? Is not bad at all. I pressure is in
:24:50. > :24:53.charge this week and said things are looking largely settled with a few
:24:54. > :24:57.caveats to that which I will explain in a moment. This picture from
:24:58. > :25:02.Tynemouth shows the sun pokhng through the clouds. Thank you to
:25:03. > :25:06.Philip. This weekend it is fairly settled with plenty of dry `nd fine
:25:07. > :25:10.bright weather but with an dasterly breeze we are going to see ` few
:25:11. > :25:13.showers pushed in along the north-east coast. Some of the
:25:14. > :25:16.showers have been around thhs afternoon and they will continue on
:25:17. > :25:21.through the night but by and large we are looking at a dry night.
:25:22. > :25:25.Plenty of clear skies as well. The clearest skies across part of
:25:26. > :25:28.Cumbria, and it is here where the temperatures will drop the lost so
:25:29. > :25:31.we are looking at lows of four or 5 degrees across parts of Cumbria
:25:32. > :25:34.slightly milder across the north-east. It will be a chhlly
:25:35. > :25:39.start tomorrow morning with patches of mist and fog and an eastdrly
:25:40. > :25:44.breeze still blowing in somd showers. Most of the showers will
:25:45. > :25:49.hit the coast further inland they will be fewer and further bdtween
:25:50. > :25:52.with plenty of dry a bright weather. By four in the afternoon in Cumbria
:25:53. > :25:57.temperatures will reach 11 or 1 with a chance of a shower across the
:25:58. > :26:00.tops of the fells. Coming across to the north-east there is an dasterly
:26:01. > :26:06.breeze and the temperatures may not climb so high. Here temperatures up
:26:07. > :26:10.to 11 or 12. Saturday night and Sunday has showers keep comhng in
:26:11. > :26:14.along the north-east coast `nd Cumbria once again is in for
:26:15. > :26:19.clearest skies and it is here where temperatures will fall the lost and
:26:20. > :26:22.elsewhere it will be down to five or 6 degrees, I think. A chillx start
:26:23. > :26:26.again to Sunday morning with an easterly breeze still blowing in the
:26:27. > :26:29.showers but generally try and fine day with plenty of spells of
:26:30. > :26:36.sunshine. Cumbria joined thd most of the sunshine and the north-dast say
:26:37. > :26:39.the most of the showers. On Sunday afternoon the temperatures will
:26:40. > :26:44.reach ten or 11 so it will still feel chilly when you factor in the
:26:45. > :26:49.easterly breeze. On Sunday `nd Monday the high pressure is still in
:26:50. > :26:52.charge and we are in between low-pressure systems but it looks
:26:53. > :26:57.like high will bring out for a time so Monday is still going to be
:26:58. > :27:01.fairly dry and settled. We lose the showers on the whole four Monday so
:27:02. > :27:07.plenty of dry and fine weather and the temperatures will once `gain
:27:08. > :27:10.reached ten or 11 degrees. To sum up again on Saturday it is dry and fine
:27:11. > :27:14.and there will be showers whth temperatures around 11 or 12.
:27:15. > :27:19.Thank you very much. That is it Unless you are on the late shift,
:27:20. > :27:29.the weekend starts here. We will see what Monday. Goodbye.
