:01:11. > :01:14.it completely drug free. Body scanners, extra staff
:01:15. > :01:17.and improved security are being installed at
:01:18. > :01:19.Holme House Prison. They want to stop the influx
:01:20. > :01:23.of so-called legal highs. But alongside the improved security,
:01:24. > :01:25.extra money will be available to treat inmates with
:01:26. > :01:29.addictions before and after Drugs have always been
:01:30. > :01:38.rife inside our prisons. These CCTV pictures show visitors
:01:39. > :01:41.bringing them to inmates. In recent years, new psychoactive
:01:42. > :01:44.substances, formerly known as legal highs,
:01:45. > :01:47.have become more popular I've seen a lot of people flopping
:01:48. > :01:53.about, I've see them It happens on a daily
:01:54. > :02:00.basis sometimes. Drugs have been around for many
:02:01. > :02:03.years, and they've never stopped them in all those years, so how
:02:04. > :02:06.are they going to stop them now? Staff at Holme House
:02:07. > :02:09.described one drug, Spice, a synthetic cannabis,
:02:10. > :02:10.as the biggest threat It's a massive problem,
:02:11. > :02:14.and it's dangerous, because people under the influence
:02:15. > :02:19.of it are unpredictable. They get superhuman
:02:20. > :02:21.strength as well. There's been a number of times staff
:02:22. > :02:24.of had to go off duty because they've inhaled the toxins
:02:25. > :02:29.that Spice has given off. The most common way drugs
:02:30. > :02:38.get into our prisons is through prisoners or visitors
:02:39. > :02:41.smuggling them in. Anyone coming here to Holme House
:02:42. > :02:44.has to go through a security system. But the prison's been given
:02:45. > :02:48.money to invest in new, full-body scanners and other
:02:49. > :02:51.security measures to try and crack It's in the hope of making
:02:52. > :02:57.Holme House completely drug-free. Earlier this year, the Government
:02:58. > :02:59.handed some prison governors Holme House is among
:03:00. > :03:04.the first in the scheme. The man running the jail has
:03:05. > :03:07.extra resources to try Over the course of three years,
:03:08. > :03:12.it'll be approaching That's going to be significant
:03:13. > :03:18.and we are doing the best that we can to prevent drugs coming
:03:19. > :03:21.into the prison and help them get off drugs and lead drug-free lives
:03:22. > :03:24.when they leave prison. We're using body scanners,
:03:25. > :03:26.we'll also be investing in different bits of kit that can identify drugs
:03:27. > :03:33.in different forms. Do you think it's possible to make
:03:34. > :03:37.Holme House 100% drug-free? We're going to talk about people
:03:38. > :03:40.leading drug-free lives, and we're going to do whatever
:03:41. > :03:42.we possibly can to make that possible while
:03:43. > :03:44.they're in the prison. And we're going to do whatever
:03:45. > :03:47.we can tell the support that when they get out of prison
:03:48. > :04:00.at the end. We're going to make sure we use that
:04:01. > :04:03.public money as smartly and wisely And Lee Johnson joins us live

:04:10. > :04:17.Association said about this The POA have woken this news, they
:04:18. > :04:20.have at 50 new members of staff to work in. They will be a big straw
:04:21. > :04:23.prison officers and drug staff. There will be a greater emphasis on
:04:24. > :04:29.treating prisoners with addictions both inside and outside the jail.
:04:30. > :04:32.The POA says that's positive news. Staffing levels have fallen here by

:04:38. > :04:40.system, especially at a whether our problems in the prison system across

:05:03. > :05:05.into a house in Grange Villa near Chester-le-Street.
:05:06. > :05:08.Two men are being held in custody on suspicion of murder and three
:05:09. > :05:24.29-year-old Mark Shaw had been subjected to a prolonged attack. His
:05:25. > :05:29.body was found in a bedroom. Three days on, and friends at work is
:05:30. > :05:30.expected to carry on tomorrow. This afternoon, his mother issued a
:05:31. > :05:54.statement. We spoke to a woman who lives next
:05:55. > :06:01.door to the crime scene. He was a nice lad, nice to talk to.
:06:02. > :06:04.Quite a times, apart from his music, but used to tell him about it and he
:06:05. > :06:12.was very apologetic and everything. Other than that, he was quiet. Nice
:06:13. > :06:16.lad. As you can see, the investigation is
:06:17. > :06:20.ongoing. The search team are out here looking for evidence. There has
:06:21. > :06:23.been a huge amount of activity at the other end of the village as
:06:24. > :06:28.well. A search was happening on this land next to a golf course. Members
:06:29. > :06:29.of the public won't allowed in. Tonight, this investigation

:06:48. > :06:51.to his manslaughter last month. At Teesside Crown Court today
:06:52. > :06:54.he was jailed for eight Northumbria Police have
:06:55. > :06:59.expressed their sorrow at the terrorist attack
:07:00. > :07:01.on Berlin's Christmas Market. The force was criticised
:07:02. > :07:04.earlier this month for posting pictures on social media of armed
:07:05. > :07:07.officers at Newcastle's Christmas Market, smiling
:07:08. > :07:11.with members of the public. The leader of Newcastle City Council
:07:12. > :07:14.has also written to the mayor of Berlin to express Newcastle's

:07:18. > :07:23.the polymer films for the new ?5 note is to be sold to a Canadian
:07:24. > :07:28.packaging specialist. Innovia, which employs
:07:29. > :07:31.750 people in Wigton, is being bought by Toronto based CCL
:07:32. > :07:36.for ?680 million. A spokesperson for the Innovia Group
:07:37. > :07:40.says CLC would be an excellent owner and it expected the deal to be
:07:41. > :07:46.completed by the end of February. Police in Durham are preparing
:07:47. > :07:49.for a sharp rise in domestic abuse Latest figures suggest the force has
:07:50. > :07:54.the highest rate in England and Wales for crimes
:07:55. > :07:58.and related incidents. Other forces in the region -
:07:59. > :08:00.Cleveland and Northumbria - Fiona Trott has been to a project
:08:01. > :08:05.in Sunderland which aims to stop men from abusing their partners before
:08:06. > :08:10.it becomes a criminal matter. It's believed to be the first
:08:11. > :08:13.of its kind in the UK. Welcome, everybody,
:08:14. > :08:15.we'll make a start. The new way of tackling
:08:16. > :08:20.domestic abuse. These men are learning how
:08:21. > :08:26.the abusive behaviour Is that a reason to stay
:08:27. > :08:33.or a reason to go? She might be the breadwinner
:08:34. > :08:36.at the minute, but, obviously, she's got no money, because she's
:08:37. > :08:38.keeping him and the bairns. Obviously, she'd be better
:08:39. > :08:41.off if she left him. The 26-week course involves
:08:42. > :08:42.the charity, Bernardo's. It can get up to 20 referrals
:08:43. > :08:45.a month, and that's just Sunderland. Little kicks, little
:08:46. > :08:47.punches, stuff like that. Then it was vice versa,
:08:48. > :08:52.she was starting to hit me. The course allows
:08:53. > :09:02.you to take time-outs. So even if I'm texting,
:09:03. > :09:10.and the texts are getting out of hand, as you would say,
:09:11. > :09:13.I might just stop texting This project means we can get to men
:09:14. > :09:21.and help them change their behaviour before they get involved
:09:22. > :09:25.with the criminal justice system. We want to stop things escalating
:09:26. > :09:29.to that point, because we know, when the police get called,
:09:30. > :09:34.it is likely usually quite serious But there's another element to this
:09:35. > :09:42.early intervention programme. The local housing association
:09:43. > :09:45.is also involved. They check the perpetrators
:09:46. > :09:49.are attending the course, and they check up on the
:09:50. > :09:52.victims themselves. You might have something
:09:53. > :09:54.like a broken window, broken bathroom door locks,
:09:55. > :09:57.for example, things like that. Could be that we're looking
:09:58. > :10:00.at an anti-social behaviour complaint, could be we get a call
:10:01. > :10:04.about noise nuisance, but is it actually about noise nuisance,
:10:05. > :10:07.or is it about domestic abuse? He was kicking me door
:10:08. > :10:10.in in the middle of the night. This woman were so afraid of her
:10:11. > :10:16.ex-partner, she carried a knife. Her words are spoken
:10:17. > :10:20.by somebody else. And it finally came to the day
:10:21. > :10:24.when he put us in hospital. I was so pleased, I know it
:10:25. > :10:29.sounds crazy, you know, I was lying on a hospital bed
:10:30. > :10:33.covered in blood, but I was so glad he'd done it,
:10:34. > :10:37.because, to me, I was free. In every community,
:10:38. > :10:40.there's a woman like her. Here in Sunderland, charities hope
:10:41. > :10:43.that by working with the local housing association,
:10:44. > :10:48.abusive relationships can stop before women are put
:10:49. > :10:54.in more serious danger. Campaigners against fracking
:10:55. > :10:57.received a blow today. Protesters in North Yorkshire have
:10:58. > :11:00.lost a legal challenge against one of the first planning applications
:11:01. > :11:03.to carry out fracking in England. The High Court's dismissed
:11:04. > :11:06.an application for a judicial review of a decision to allow the company,
:11:07. > :11:10.Third Energy, to frack for shale gas The county council welcomed
:11:11. > :11:30.the decision but campaigners said Nerve-racking in Yorkshire!
:11:31. > :11:34.And he fracking protesters from Kirby Misperton took their fight to
:11:35. > :11:37.the High Court in November. Today's news that their challenge to
:11:38. > :11:41.planning approval had failed was not the festive message they had been
:11:42. > :11:48.hoping for. Sad, disappointed. Obviously, it's
:11:49. > :11:56.been a long battle for us, a lot of detailed research has gone into what
:11:57. > :12:01.we think were very good grounds for bringing this judicial review.
:12:02. > :12:06.This is the site at the centre of the concerns. Nestled in fields not
:12:07. > :12:14.far from the village of Kirby Misperton. It's here that third
:12:15. > :12:19.energy want to extract shale gas. To get gas at the shale rock, chemicals
:12:20. > :12:22.pumped down and gas pumped out. People living here I worried about
:12:23. > :12:28.the environmental impact, and the long-term effects on their health.
:12:29. > :12:33.That Energy, the company behind the plans, insisted estate and regulated
:12:34. > :12:40.process that will begin -- bring benefits locally. We are already
:12:41. > :12:45.employing around 25 people locally, the likelihood is that the
:12:46. > :12:48.operations are expanded, there will be more jobs and apprentice schemes.
:12:49. > :12:56.There would be a significant benefit to the activity -- community.
:12:57. > :12:59.North Yorkshire council who approved the planning application, said they
:13:00. > :13:07.had a responsibility to apply national and local policies, and had
:13:08. > :13:14.followed the process is correctly. Even today's challenger failed,
:13:15. > :13:19.campaigners say they will fight on. We won't go away, we went change
:13:20. > :13:23.your mind and think this is a good idea. The bottom line is we are
:13:24. > :13:28.opposed to further extraction of fossil fuels. We are looking to a
:13:29. > :13:30.future, which, unfortunately, we don't think the Government is.
:13:31. > :13:33.A County Durham family say they've been given the best
:13:34. > :13:35.Christmas present ever - with their 15-month-old son home
:13:36. > :13:37.from hospital in time for the festivities.
:13:38. > :13:40.Lennox Knight, from County Durham, was born
:13:41. > :13:46.After surviving his first Christmas in Newcastle's Freeman hospital,
:13:47. > :13:49.his family have finally been allowed to take him home.
:13:50. > :13:55.Baby Lennox Knight and his family have faced an uphill struggle
:13:56. > :14:01.At just three days old, he had to undergo major surgery.
:14:02. > :14:05.He came back and just wasn't well at all.
:14:06. > :14:10.He went onto the highest form of life support for the first time,
:14:11. > :14:14.he had a really rough ride, and we finally got him off that.
:14:15. > :14:17.He came back from theatre for about an hour, and then
:14:18. > :14:19.arrested, then the life just drained from his body.
:14:20. > :14:23.We could only put full trust in the team at the Freeman,
:14:24. > :14:25.their speed and dedication was the only thing
:14:26. > :14:30.The operation was followed by another 11 procedures, and Lennox
:14:31. > :14:35.All his parents could do was watch and hope.
:14:36. > :14:43.Just seemed to pull through, he got through Christmas,
:14:44. > :14:48.and then he got to February, and since then he's
:14:49. > :14:56.I thought he had problems with his airways, he went down again,
:14:57. > :15:00.needed a lot of reconstruction on his airway and membranes,
:15:01. > :15:06.Throughout his treatment, the Sick Children's Trust supported
:15:07. > :15:08.Lennox's family with free accommodation near
:15:09. > :15:13.But now, after 373 days in hospital, Lennox is back home with his mum
:15:14. > :15:18.and dad and his two brothers for their first family Christmas.
:15:19. > :15:21.We kind of live life in the fast lane, whatever
:15:22. > :15:24.we want to do with him, we want to do right away.
:15:25. > :15:27.Whatever happens in the future, we can always say we had those
:15:28. > :15:30.memories with all three of the boys together.
:15:31. > :15:32.What's it like having him back for Christmas for you?
:15:33. > :15:37.Just having them all back together again.
:15:38. > :15:54.As we approach the festive period, we thought it would be nice to show
:15:55. > :15:56.you some people who are always thinking of others,
:15:57. > :15:59.You might even call it the real meaning of Christmas.
:16:00. > :16:02.Tonight, we meet a remarkable woman who decided to donate
:16:03. > :16:08.Not only that, but it went to a complete stranger.
:16:09. > :16:11.Now Lillian Read from Chester-le-Street wants to encourage
:16:12. > :16:14.other people to do the same, as Gerry Jackson found out.
:16:15. > :16:26.At the age of 73, the only chair you're likely
:16:27. > :16:33.to find her in is the one at her experimental dance class.
:16:34. > :16:36.It's very important for me to be active.
:16:37. > :16:40.It gets you going in the morning and get you through the days,
:16:41. > :16:44.instead of just thinking, Hmm, what day is it again?
:16:45. > :16:49.Her many friends will tell you about Lillian's
:16:50. > :16:55.But two years ago, she surprised even them, by becoming
:16:56. > :17:02.One of her kidneys went to a stranger.
:17:03. > :17:06.I'd met quite a few people with kidney problems over the years
:17:07. > :17:13.I just thought, that must be really, really hard.
:17:14. > :17:16.When I can survive doing anything I want to.
:17:17. > :17:20.So it wasn't really a hard decision to make.
:17:21. > :17:24.It has been nearly ten years since the law changed which allowed
:17:25. > :17:26.people who aren't related to or in a relationship
:17:27. > :17:30.with the recipient to donate a kidney, bone marrow or even part
:17:31. > :17:36.But it's still unusual for someone of Lillian's age to do it.
:17:37. > :17:40.Now at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital, they want to encourage more of us
:17:41. > :17:48.An ideal donor is fit, healthy, active, a nonsmoker,
:17:49. > :17:54.Blood donors, people who work for charities,
:17:55. > :18:05.The commonly found one, I think, is called Give A Kidney.
:18:06. > :18:09.If anyone's interested in donating, that's the way to take things
:18:10. > :18:12.forward, and we would love to hear from them.
:18:13. > :18:15.She's amazing, she never once mentioned it to anybody.
:18:16. > :18:19.Not once, we found out in a sort of curious way.
:18:20. > :18:23.She just got on, she was back dancing two weeks afterwards.
:18:24. > :18:26.She's really made me think about what it is to be generous,
:18:27. > :18:31.Lillian has never met her kidney's recipient.
:18:32. > :18:38.It was a man of my age, and that's all I know about it.
:18:39. > :18:56.So I really would encourage people to think about it very, very hard.
:18:57. > :19:02.If they're fit and healthy, you just need one kidney, you really do.
:19:03. > :19:05.I might never do anything like that again, but I've
:19:06. > :19:17.Can't save the rest of the world, but I saved somebody.
:19:18. > :19:20.And we know you don't feel the need to meet him, Lillian,
:19:21. > :19:28.but we hear the man with your kidney is also living life to the full.
:19:29. > :19:33.Brilliant news. Now time for sport, what have you got tonight?
:19:34. > :19:36.The Newcastle United midfielder, Jonjo Shelvey, has been hit
:19:37. > :19:38.with a five-match ban and a fine of ?100,000
:19:39. > :19:41.for a racist remark aimed at a Wolverhampton Wanderers player.
:19:42. > :19:45.He's also been ordered to attend an education course.
:19:46. > :19:48.The incident is alleged to have taken place towards the end
:19:49. > :19:51.of a Championship game at St James' Park in September,
:19:52. > :19:54.Shelvey was charged by the Football Association
:19:55. > :19:58.with an "aggravated breach" of their misconduct rule.
:19:59. > :20:01.His remarks to the Wolves player, Romain Saiss, are said to have
:20:02. > :20:03.contained a reference to the Morroccan's
:20:04. > :20:07.Shelvey denied the charge, and the sanction has been put
:20:08. > :20:10.on hold while the Magpies consider an appeal.
:20:11. > :20:13.Newcastle can, at least, look forward to Christmas at the top
:20:14. > :20:17.But it's always a difficult time for children who have to spend
:20:18. > :20:22.So the Magpies made their annual visit to the Great North Children's
:20:23. > :20:26.Hospital, in the shadow of St James' Park, to spread some cheer -
:20:27. > :20:29.and given today's news, there was a surprise visitor,
:20:30. > :20:34.Looking like he'd come straight from the FA hearing,
:20:35. > :20:37.Jonjo Shelvey was among the players to deliver some early presents
:20:38. > :20:40.to youngsters who might not be well enough to go home for Christmas.
:20:41. > :20:44.Not surprisingly, perhaps, Rafa Benitez didn't want to talk
:20:45. > :20:47.about the Shelvey situation, preferring instead to concentrate
:20:48. > :20:50.on the importance of giving something back to the city.
:20:51. > :20:54.I think it's really important for the children, for the families.
:20:55. > :20:59.This time is always a bit sad, especially when you're in hospital.
:21:00. > :21:04.So to come here, to see the smiles and the reaction
:21:05. > :21:08.of the people is really pleasing, because, for us, it's little,
:21:09. > :21:13.We've got a football here for you as well.
:21:14. > :21:24.For many of these children, and their mums and dads,
:21:25. > :21:26.meeting their black-and-white heroes is the next best thing
:21:27. > :21:30.But Rafa and co will never be short of supporters,
:21:31. > :21:34.even if the babies amongst them are too young to know it yet.
:21:35. > :21:36.It's important to have fans behind the team,
:21:37. > :21:40.but here in the hospital, we have seen one Sunderland fan.
:21:41. > :21:45.But a lot of Newcastle United fans, and we're really pleased for them.
:21:46. > :21:50.It doesn't matter who you support, the main thing is that you leave
:21:51. > :21:55.It's often said that not nearly enough money trickles down
:21:56. > :22:01.from the cash-rich Premier League to the grassroots of the game.
:22:02. > :22:04.Well, North Shields FC - 2015 FA Vase winners and currently
:22:05. > :22:07.top of Northern League Division One - are hoping their new grant-aided
:22:08. > :22:09.clubhouse will help continue their recent revival.
:22:10. > :22:13.And - as Mark Tulip reports - a famous number nine was on hand
:22:14. > :22:17.It's quite handy, when you've got a big unveiling to make,
:22:18. > :22:20.that the club president just happens to be one the region's
:22:21. > :22:24.Ex-Newcastle and England forward Malcolm MacDonald teamed up
:22:25. > :22:27.with some of the stars of the original club's 1969
:22:28. > :22:30.Amateur Cup winning side at today's official opening.
:22:31. > :22:34.It was a ship container, yes, that it's replaced.
:22:35. > :22:39.It was getting a bit old, rusty, and there were a few holes emerging.
:22:40. > :22:42.So it's a lot warmer in this new one.
:22:43. > :22:45.The new clubhouse was made possible thnkas to a ?100,000 grant
:22:46. > :22:49.through the Football Stadium Improvement Fund.
:22:50. > :22:57.Hopefully come it's going to increase the revenue
:22:58. > :23:00.Because it is hard, it really is, financially, so hard to just
:23:01. > :23:05.survive in the lower levels of football these days.
:23:06. > :23:09.Although, I have to say, we are brilliantly supported.
:23:10. > :23:13.It's going to be wonderful to let them socialise
:23:14. > :23:16.here within the club, rather than, on the final whistle,
:23:17. > :23:21.disappearing out the gates and into pubs down the road.
:23:22. > :23:24.Gone are the single, wooden bench and assorted chairs.
:23:25. > :23:26.The new facility, including a swanky function room,
:23:27. > :23:29.will accommodate home and away supporters, and provide post-match
:23:30. > :23:32.hospitality and a venue for local community events.
:23:33. > :23:37.The captain of the North Shields 1969 Wembley winners fondly
:23:38. > :23:40.remembers the thriving social club at former home, Appleby Park.
:23:41. > :23:44.It's great that these lads playing today have a clubhouse
:23:45. > :23:50.It's one of the things I found, when we left after a game,
:23:51. > :23:54.you could sit in the clubhouse with the opposing team
:23:55. > :23:58.and just have a good old banter with each other.
:23:59. > :24:02.Brian Clough, I remember coming to North Shields,
:24:03. > :24:07.with his youth signings from Hartlepools, and his words,
:24:08. > :24:11.I just wish I had half of this at Hartlepools.
:24:12. > :24:15.Because we had sunken baths, full-size dressing rooms, billiard
:24:16. > :24:32.All your kit was always laid out for you.
:24:33. > :24:37.Uncle was once a goalkeeper Bernard Shields. They didn't even have the
:24:38. > :24:43.shipping container then! The weather stunning Asti?
:24:44. > :24:47.Turning nasty towards the end of the week. First of all, your weather
:24:48. > :24:55.pictures this week, they have a festive theme. This street looking
:24:56. > :25:00.festive. You can think festive without thinking Robbins, so here's
:25:01. > :25:10.a fine east Durham specimen. This third shot, we are told the streak
:25:11. > :25:14.the sky is the International Space Station. Might be, could have been
:25:15. > :25:18.sent out on a dry run before the stormy weather settles in. Because
:25:19. > :25:23.it will turn and settled, but the tail end of the week is what we are
:25:24. > :25:28.concerned about. Stormy weather, gale force winds and heavy rain to
:25:29. > :25:34.go with it. Tonight, mostly dry, rain on the way on the west. Heavy
:25:35. > :25:41.at times, not hang around too long, clearing away for most bases early
:25:42. > :25:45.tomorrow. The sky is clear, the wind lighter, touch ground frost as
:25:46. > :25:50.temperatures dropped to 2 degrees. A dry, chilly start tomorrow morning.
:25:51. > :25:57.Not lasting too long, war rain from the west. Not lingering too long,
:25:58. > :26:02.across the tops of the hills, brining up again, around most bases.
:26:03. > :26:06.Temperatures struggle to eight Celsius at best tomorrow. The wind
:26:07. > :26:12.brisk at times from the west or south west. That's the way it looks
:26:13. > :26:17.tomorrow. Towards their estate, staying at breezy. Heading towards
:26:18. > :26:21.Friday, we start to see this from the west, the second named storm of
:26:22. > :26:27.the season, Storm Barbara, ringing really windy weather. Through
:26:28. > :26:31.Christmas Eve as well, another load to the west heading our way for
:26:32. > :26:35.Christmas Day itself. A stormy spell of weather for the end of the week.
:26:36. > :26:40.Thursday, although gusty, many places will be dry, showers coming
:26:41. > :26:46.in on that westerly wind at times. Then really strong rains and winds
:26:47. > :26:52.on Friday for a time. Not lasting too long, only a few hours, but
:26:53. > :26:57.those winds very strong. Staying away day for Saturday, Christmas
:26:58. > :27:03.Eve, though most places are back to dry. So a bit quieter on Saturday.
:27:04. > :27:08.Though a killer warning out for the strength of those winds on Friday.
:27:09. > :27:13.60-70mph gusts, strong enough to do a bit of damage and disruption to
:27:14. > :27:18.travel. A lot of people out and about, so worth bearing in mind if
:27:19. > :27:22.you're planning to travel on Friday. We'll keep you updated as we head
:27:23. > :27:29.towards the tail end of the day on your BBC Radio station, and on the
:27:30. > :27:33.BBC weather app. So, all full on Friday, the ideas
:27:34. > :27:39.stay in and watch Look North, because have a bit of a treat on
:27:40. > :27:41.Friday, don't we? The last one before Christmas. That's it tonight,
:27:42. > :27:48.though, bye-bye. You only grow old once,
:27:49. > :28:04.so you might as well enjoy it. Four go mad in Florida and Japan in
:28:05. > :28:10.search of the perfect retirement. The Real Marigold On Tour
:28:11. > :28:14.starts with Florida.
