:00:50. > :01:05.It promised to be a tough wdek for the North East Ambulance Service.
:01:06. > :01:07.Yesterday, the BBC Inside Ott programme revealed how emergency
:01:08. > :01:10.crews were backed up, waiting to have their patients
:01:11. > :01:13.attended to at our newest hospital in Cramlington.
:01:14. > :01:16.Today, the Care Quality Comlission report into their recent
:01:17. > :01:19.But despite their much publhcised problems, it makes far bettdr
:01:20. > :01:31.Each year the North East Ambulance Service answers more than
:01:32. > :01:35.1.5 million calls and attends more than 400,000 emergencies.
:01:36. > :01:38.But each year the pressures grow and last year the ambulance service
:01:39. > :01:41.here was the the worst in the country for reaching
:01:42. > :01:43.the most critically ill patients - the RED 1 calls.
:01:44. > :01:46.So the service was expecting the Care Quality Commission
:01:47. > :01:55.to announce the service reqtired improvement.
:01:56. > :02:02.We had wondered whether we would get requires improvement. We did not
:02:03. > :02:07.dare to dream we would get good The message back to us was we h`d tried
:02:08. > :02:13.so hard and when they came hn April we have 100 vacancies for
:02:14. > :02:17.paramedics. We are down to 70. The big issue, in terms of thosd most
:02:18. > :02:23.critical of calls, the performance is the worst in the country for last
:02:24. > :02:27.year. It was at the time whdn the CQC came. That was the biggdst
:02:28. > :02:32.anxiety. Response is the kex issue in the ambulance service. Wd are now
:02:33. > :02:36.about second or third in thd country overall for red performance. We ll
:02:37. > :02:47.still not quite meeting our targets but we have improved. Because that
:02:48. > :02:49.response getting a good overall rating is an outstanding achievement
:02:50. > :02:55.for the North East ambulancd service. But it is a servicd under
:02:56. > :02:59.pressure. Upstairs around 300 call handlers manage around 1000 calls
:03:00. > :03:06.every day. It is a big population to send the evidences out to. 2.7
:03:07. > :03:08.million people. And on the road only around 100 ambulances.
:03:09. > :03:16.Inspectors in giving the good rating.
:03:17. > :03:18.Advanced Practitioners, devdloped by the service for example ,
:03:19. > :03:20.are highly skilled paramedics - who can help patients and p`ramedics
:03:21. > :03:30.The difference and advanced practitioner brings is hopefully we
:03:31. > :03:36.are able to bring the treatlent to the patient, so you can tre`t and
:03:37. > :03:41.discharge a number of conditions in the home. We have the same referral
:03:42. > :03:47.pathway and rights as a GP. So we see the patient diagnosed s`y with
:03:48. > :03:49.appendicitis and instead of going to accident and emergency we would post
:03:50. > :03:54.them to a surgical admission department.
:03:55. > :03:57.Back in the call room, expert clinicians -
:03:58. > :03:59.who help decide which patients most urgently need an ambulance.
:04:00. > :04:05.Especially when there are no more to send.
:04:06. > :04:09.There are these eight minutd response and villains is tr`velling
:04:10. > :04:15.to patients who might be having a heart attack or strokes. My job is
:04:16. > :04:18.to go back and evaluate and make sure we have adequate inforlation
:04:19. > :04:23.and make sure the patient, the condition has not changed. Sometimes
:04:24. > :04:24.they have deteriorated and we had to upgrade the ambulance to a high
:04:25. > :04:28.response. The CQC
:04:29. > :04:30.do want more clinicians, in handover delays at A ,
:04:31. > :04:33.to free up paramedics. The stress on the service
:04:34. > :04:35.is still significant, Every 12 hour shift can
:04:36. > :04:38.be highly challenging. But today a ray of sunshine
:04:39. > :04:41.and celebrations, in the knowledge that winter pressures are jtst
:04:42. > :04:55.around the corner. From today, two of our region's

:05:00. > :05:02.team's been set up across the Cleveland
:05:03. > :05:08.and North Yorkshire police Senior officers say it'll
:05:09. > :05:11.target resources in murder investigations but it isn't just
:05:12. > :05:13.about cost cutting. Here's our News

:06:44. > :06:45.already though sharing There's a wider picture
:06:46. > :06:54.of the emergency services cooperating too, fire crews
:06:55. > :06:56.across the north east have been working as emergency first

:07:05. > :07:06.and rescue service. Cleveland's Chief Constable says
:07:07. > :07:08.dealing with major crimes together is about greater efficiency
:07:09. > :07:19.not slashing costs. This does not involve saving money.
:07:20. > :07:23.It involves creasing -- increasing capability and effectiveness and
:07:24. > :07:26.importantly reducing the tile we need to pull officers and staff away
:07:27. > :07:32.from other things they are doing in the community.
:07:33. > :07:34.Well Mark Denten joins us now from outside Cleveland Police
:07:35. > :07:38.Mark, people will look at this and say it must be
:07:39. > :07:49.They will, but both forces `re adamant it is not about that, it is
:07:50. > :07:53.about efficiency. They focus on the so-called golden hour, immediately
:07:54. > :07:56.after a major crime is commhtted where you need all your resources
:07:57. > :08:02.together to fill up the key lines of enquiry. In police speak wh`t the
:08:03. > :08:07.forces will do is search thdir teams, which roughly transl`ted
:08:08. > :08:11.means that if a major crime is 0 miles down the road in North
:08:12. > :08:16.Yorkshire, officers go from here to that special team to attend. We know
:08:17. > :08:20.that we have heard that this will not in fact be a money-saving
:08:21. > :08:24.exercise, but it will not cost any money but I was told this afternoon
:08:25. > :08:30.there would be some cost but nobody at the moment could tell me exactly

:20:02. > :20:07.a song and dance man, aren't you? I said, yes. He said, it's a lusical.
:20:08. > :20:13.I couldn't argue. OK, I will do it. Am I glad I did. What is it like
:20:14. > :20:18.performing with a 16 piece orchestra? Oh, don't! I can't tell
:20:19. > :20:25.you, just listening to that sound, because when I'm on stage it comes
:20:26. > :20:30.at me like a whack. When yot are in the audience it is... Wow. Ht is big
:20:31. > :20:34.theatre, it fills with this wonderful music. It is great, it is
:20:35. > :20:39.wonderful. Don't, you're getting me all excited. Excuse me for
:20:40. > :20:44.mentioning it, but you are `lmost twice the age Glenn Miller was when
:20:45. > :20:50.he went down in that plane. So how can you play him? Exactly, xou only
:20:51. > :20:55.play him in a musical when xou are going to tell them the storx. It is
:20:56. > :21:01.not a mystery. It is me, a song and dance man, I'm going to tell you a
:21:02. > :21:03.story about the music man. This Saturday, bonfire night, it is the
:21:04. > :21:11.last night the run, last night the tour. And... Anniversary of my first
:21:12. > :21:16.night on stage! The best rock and roll in Britain. What happened here?
:21:17. > :21:20.At the Sunderland Empire. Now that is uncanny. When they gave le the
:21:21. > :21:29.tour dates, I looked down and I thought, oh, wonderful, Sunderland.
:21:30. > :21:34.Then I looked at the date and I thought, November the 5th? Ht is the
:21:35. > :21:39.last performance, November the th. That was my first performance. You
:21:40. > :21:45.start thinking, oh, is this something strange going to happen.
:21:46. > :21:51.Spooky. Yes, spooky. I am going to come back and do the last show and
:21:52. > :21:56.backstage they are going to say it is a joke, the last 60 years never
:21:57. > :22:04.happened. You are still in Bermondsey, mate. Wake-up!
:22:05. > :22:10.He has got the excitement of a 20-year-old, hasn't he? Amazing
:22:11. > :22:14.That music will be in your head all night. What have you got, Jdff? A
:22:15. > :22:19.bit of football to start with. Sunderland manager David Moxes
:22:20. > :22:21.will be watching Saturday's game at Bournemouth from the stands,
:22:22. > :22:24.after accepting a charge of misconduct from the
:22:25. > :22:25.Football Association. The Black Cats' boss was sent off
:22:26. > :22:28.during last week's EFL Cup defeat at Southampton,
:22:29. > :22:30.after his team was Moyes was accused of using `busive
:22:31. > :22:33.language towards an official, and had until six o'clock tonight
:22:34. > :22:35.to contest the charge. If he'd challenged it and lost,
:22:36. > :22:39.it could have led to a doubling of the one-match touchline ban
:22:40. > :22:43.and to a greater fine. And of course, it's been a hugely
:22:44. > :22:45.disappointing season The club desperately needs to start
:22:46. > :22:49.punching above its weight vdry soon. So maybe that was the inspiration
:22:50. > :22:52.for Jordan Pickford to swap goalkeeping gloves for boxing gloves
:22:53. > :22:55.on a trip down memory lane with a childhood
:22:56. > :22:56.friend-turned Olympian. Nisha Joshi's report does contain
:22:57. > :23:04.some flash photography. In the last few months
:23:05. > :23:06.Jordan Pickford and Pat McCormack have both found themselves
:23:07. > :23:11.in the spotlight. They've fought their way to the top
:23:12. > :23:14.- Pickford's as a 1st choicd Premier League keeper and McCormack
:23:15. > :23:16.as a GB Olympian and they're aware they're
:23:17. > :23:18.now role models. When we were younger
:23:19. > :23:20.we were looking up to people and hopefully
:23:21. > :23:21.we are doing our bit now
:23:22. > :23:23.with people looking up to us but we are not
:23:24. > :23:25.the We need to keep working
:23:26. > :23:31.hard and keep up our performances with football
:23:32. > :23:35.and we hope it pays off. McCormack made it through to
:23:36. > :23:37.the last 16 in Rio - narrowly losing to
:23:38. > :23:40.the number two seed. I've got unbelievable
:23:41. > :23:41.experience going in there and fighting at that top level
:23:42. > :23:46.in front of millions of people. We've got the world championships
:23:47. > :23:49.next year, I will be fighting WSB next year and when January comes
:23:50. > :23:52.I will start hitting hard. Sunderland have to get
:23:53. > :23:55.going well before January - they're bottom of the leagud
:23:56. > :23:59.with just two points - but Pickford says they've bden
:24:00. > :24:01.unlucky this season - and there's no danger
:24:02. > :24:03.of throwing in the towel. At West Ham, that
:24:04. > :24:06.unfortunate goal at the end that they scored,
:24:07. > :24:14.could have been a first cle`n sheet. We are a really strong
:24:15. > :24:18.squad mentally but like I said, there have been
:24:19. > :24:23.some injuries and that, we are coming back to full fitness
:24:24. > :24:27.and once we get that win we need to keep building on that
:24:28. > :24:29.and don't look back, really. Sunderland academy graduate Pickford
:24:30. > :24:31.had several loan spells in the lower leagues before
:24:32. > :24:33.eventually becoming first choice for the Black cats -
:24:34. > :24:36.and his strong performances this season have earned him
:24:37. > :24:38.a senior England call-up. It's been a massive experience
:24:39. > :24:40.more than anything. When I was younger I was looking up
:24:41. > :24:43.to the pathway Joe Hart took and now I need to take my
:24:44. > :24:46.chance that I've hopefully taken in the Premier League and kdep
:24:47. > :24:48.performing and proving I'm good
:24:49. > :24:49.enough. Pickford knows he can't single
:24:50. > :24:51.handedly save Sunderland - Week in and week out,
:24:52. > :25:00.it's like a dream really, Do you hope you have
:25:01. > :25:03.the happy ending Yes, definitely we're staying up
:25:04. > :25:16.and we will be fine. Confident young man. It is good to
:25:17. > :25:22.see. Now the weather. It is noticeably cooler today. It was a
:25:23. > :25:27.glorious autumn day with lovely sunshine and usable autumn colours.
:25:28. > :25:31.Yes, noticeably colder. That trend will continue in the next fdw days.
:25:32. > :25:36.We pay the price of lovely clear skies with a cold night, drx, clear
:25:37. > :25:40.and cold is summing it up across the north-east and Cumbria in the coming
:25:41. > :25:44.night. Heading through this evening and into the night, not a lot of
:25:45. > :25:49.cloud around at all. Long and clear spells, dry for most of us `s well.
:25:50. > :25:54.A bit of a north-westerly breeze, quite brisk at times, espechally in
:25:55. > :25:58.some eastern areas but a bit of shelter from the breeze, it will
:25:59. > :26:03.feel cold. Generally down to two and three. Sunspots will touch freezing
:26:04. > :26:08.and cold enough for a widespread ground frost tomorrow morning. A
:26:09. > :26:12.cold starts tomorrow. But it looks like another fine and dry one for
:26:13. > :26:18.most of us. The odd shower clipping the North Yorkshire coast. Lost
:26:19. > :26:22.places dry, with clout, maybe more clout than today, but still decent
:26:23. > :26:26.spells. Temperature is nothhng to write home about. Just about
:26:27. > :26:31.spreading into double figurds like today. Highs of 10 Celsius. Where
:26:32. > :26:34.you are exposed to the north-westerly breeze it will feel
:26:35. > :26:40.noticeably colder again, as well. That is the picture for tomorrow. We
:26:41. > :26:43.have that high pressure, but it is shunted out of the next couple of
:26:44. > :26:48.days, up to the north, bringing weather fronts with it. It will stay
:26:49. > :26:51.cold but more clout and sumler showers around on Thursday `nd
:26:52. > :26:58.Friday and into the first b`rs of the weekend. Later on Saturday that
:26:59. > :27:03.is sinking south and things should dry up, again, heading into Saturday
:27:04. > :27:07.evening. Heading into tomorrow and Thursday, fine and dry but cold
:27:08. > :27:11.tomorrow. Still cold on Thursday but generally low cloud with a risk of
:27:12. > :27:16.showers and that continues heading into the weekend. I think S`turday
:27:17. > :27:21.in the day we may see some showers and damages on the cold sidd. By
:27:22. > :27:25.Saturday night, out and abott four bonfire night it looks like most
:27:26. > :27:28.places will have dried up bx then. We will keep you updated for the
:27:29. > :27:33.rest of the week on your local BBC stations. We have only just got over
:27:34. > :27:39.the trick or treat of last night and now bonfire night. Stress, when you
:27:40. > :27:51.are a mum. It is stress. Th`t is it from us tonight. Good night.
:27:52. > :27:53.He's a scientist, brilliant apparently.
:27:54. > :28:02.But you may be bringing people over here who did things during the war.
:28:03. > :28:06.I will not work for you. I will not work for the British Government
:28:07. > :28:11.Let us not let the past haunt all of our actions.
:28:12. > :28:13.You've got to do something! It's only you that can!
:28:14. > :28:23.When were you going to tell Whitney about the loan?
:28:24. > :28:25.MICK: All you've got to do is show up.
:28:26. > :28:27.Everything that could go wrong went wrong yesterday.
:28:28. > :28:34.and you've got to do it before the wedding.
:28:35. > :28:37.It's going to be the happiest day of our lives.
