:00:00. > :00:11.More than 200 people are laid off at a cable making factory.

:00:12. > :00:15.They're supposed to be our parent company yet we are having

:00:16. > :00:17.to go through redundancy, yet they turned over

:00:18. > :00:21.$1.6 billion last year, and they've got no money?

:00:22. > :00:24.The government's garden village plan is welcomed in Cumbria but there's

:00:25. > :00:29.Campaigners call for new laws to help protect Cumbria's

:00:30. > :00:35.It's the first Teamtalk of 2017 and the New Year brings the same

:00:36. > :00:39.But Jermaine Defoe is spot-on as Sunderland rescue a point

:00:40. > :00:59.They'd gone back to work today to be given shattering news.

:01:00. > :01:03.Nearly 240 workers are to lose their jobs at an industrial cable maker.

:01:04. > :01:07.Birtley-based AEI Cables said the plant is running at a loss,

:01:08. > :01:12.meaning the end of manufacturing at the 175-year-old business.

:01:13. > :01:15.Just 13 sales staff will be kept on at a new location.

:01:16. > :01:18.The company said it also wants to come to an agreement

:01:19. > :01:24.with its creditors, paying them less than they're owed.

:01:25. > :01:26.Well, our business correspondent Ian Reeve is in Birtley now.

:01:27. > :01:34.Ian, miserable news but not wholly unexpected?

:01:35. > :01:42.The company seems to have had a tough couple of years. It was bought

:01:43. > :01:48.in 2014 by a Middle Eastern -based cable manufacturer. That deal was

:01:49. > :01:53.portrayed as having saved the company but throughout 2015 the

:01:54. > :01:57.company complained this plant was not profitable. In September 2015 it

:01:58. > :02:04.revealed it was negotiating about 100 redundancies and in November

:02:05. > :02:09.2015 it conceded that closure was something it was possibly looking at

:02:10. > :02:20.and it has confirmed that today. This is the reaction of some workers

:02:21. > :02:24.who will be affected. I just can't understand and I hope they will not

:02:25. > :02:31.be allowed to trade in this country again because they have sold us down

:02:32. > :02:34.the river, washed their hands of us. They're supposed to be our parent

:02:35. > :02:42.company and we are going through redundancy. They're doing it all

:02:43. > :02:46.wrong. It has been a while coming. When you look at the history, we

:02:47. > :02:49.have a bit of a reputation over the last ten years. We are worse than

:02:50. > :02:57.someone better than others but such is life. Some anger, but what has

:02:58. > :03:04.the company had to say? They gave us a statement. They have

:03:05. > :03:11.laid out how it will close down. 198 jobs will go before this Friday,

:03:12. > :03:16.January the 6th, as part of what they call a phased closure. 40

:03:17. > :03:24.others will stay working until March at after that there will be 13 sales

:03:25. > :03:27.staff staying on permanently at another location, presumably selling

:03:28. > :03:32.products made by the parent company. The company claimed it has

:03:33. > :03:35.significantly invested in the plant in the last 2.5 years but it said

:03:36. > :03:40.profitable reduction levels have not been achieved.

:03:41. > :03:51.Any other reaction tonight? The Labour MP in his constituency

:03:52. > :03:55.the plant is expressed his sympathy. He is concerned that it appears the

:03:56. > :04:00.company will not be paying redundancy payments and the workers

:04:01. > :04:07.will have to rely on government statutory redundancy payments. There

:04:08. > :04:11.was scant consolation in that the announcement didn't come before

:04:12. > :04:13.Christmas. He conceded that it will be far from a happy New Year here at

:04:14. > :04:18.Birtley. A man from Sunderland and his wife

:04:19. > :04:22.have been found dead at a seaside The couple are believed to have

:04:23. > :04:27.died on New Year's Eve. They've been named locally

:04:28. > :04:29.as Robert Wells and Imogen Goldie. There aren't thought to be any

:04:30. > :04:35.suspicious circumstances. The police have named the man

:04:36. > :04:38.whose body was recovered from the River Ouse in York

:04:39. > :04:40.on New Year's Day. He was 42-year-old

:04:41. > :04:42.Craig Batters from York. Officers are now trying to piece

:04:43. > :04:47.together his last known movements. An aristocrat has denied dangerous

:04:48. > :04:50.driving following a crash at a busy 76-year-old Lady Susan Zetland,

:04:51. > :04:56.of Aske Hall near Richmond, appeared at Teesside Crown Court

:04:57. > :04:58.for the brief hearing. She's charged with dangerous driving

:04:59. > :05:01.after her Subaru Outback 4x4 was involved in a collision

:05:02. > :05:04.on the A66 at the Melsonby She entered a plea of not guilty

:05:05. > :05:09.and the trial will be set Northumberland County Council says

:05:10. > :05:18.it's "disappointed" it's not been given the go ahead for a garden

:05:19. > :05:23.village-style housing development. A possible site near Ponteland

:05:24. > :05:26.wasn't named among the 14 But an area just to the south of

:05:27. > :05:33.Carlisle will have a garden village. More from Cumbria in a moment,

:05:34. > :05:48.but first Jonathan Swingler is live What is a garden Village? The

:05:49. > :05:55.government says a distinct place with its own facilities, not an

:05:56. > :05:58.extension of an urban area. The one planned just outside Puntland is on

:05:59. > :06:04.green belt land. A Garden Village is an inclusive

:06:05. > :06:06.community and the Dissington site will include a wide range

:06:07. > :06:08.of affordable housing. The people who want to build

:06:09. > :06:11.a garden village near Ponteland say that they can offer something

:06:12. > :06:13.special for future residents. But 2000 new homes near

:06:14. > :06:16.existing properties? Don't be surprised if people

:06:17. > :06:21.nearby get annoyed. We feel we are moving from living

:06:22. > :06:26.in a village or small town, many of us here are living

:06:27. > :06:29.on the edge of that small town and essentially we are going to be

:06:30. > :06:33.living in the middle of a large town I think it is the scale,

:06:34. > :06:39.not the fact there is some building. There needs to be building

:06:40. > :06:41.and are already has It is just the scale

:06:42. > :06:44.of the proposed development, Northumberland County Council told

:06:45. > :06:56.us they were disappointed the site outside Penteland wasn't among

:06:57. > :06:58.the 14 new garden villages But supporters say it is

:06:59. > :07:02.only a matter of time. The developers argue it is not

:07:03. > :07:04.a housing estate and say there will be land around

:07:05. > :07:06.this new village. They expect the project to get

:07:07. > :07:09.the green light later this year. Firstly, this scheme brings very

:07:10. > :07:11.substantial infrastructure improvement in terms of a new bypass

:07:12. > :07:14.and flood alleviation works. It is also a self-sustaining

:07:15. > :07:17.community that has all its own facilities so it doesn't put

:07:18. > :07:20.pressure on other places nearby. While people will have

:07:21. > :07:22.those concerns, I think David has lived here

:07:23. > :07:25.for four decades. He is resigned to the

:07:26. > :07:29.project going ahead. I was very upset at first

:07:30. > :07:31.and all the rest of Now I'm getting more

:07:32. > :07:44.used to the idea. The people who own the land

:07:45. > :07:54.are confident work will start In Carlisle the local MP has

:07:55. > :07:57.described plans for a proposed new garden Village outside the city as

:07:58. > :08:02.the most visionary he can remember but it is not yet clear exactly

:08:03. > :08:07.where it will be but it is hoped the creation of thousands of new homes

:08:08. > :08:08.will boost the local economy and could see the creation of a new

:08:09. > :08:10.bypass to Carlisle. There's a huge tract of land south

:08:11. > :08:13.of Carlisle fringed on one side by the M6 motorway,

:08:14. > :08:16.and the main A595 route out to west Somewhere here, one

:08:17. > :08:19.of the government's new garden villages will be built,

:08:20. > :08:21.with the name St Cuthbert's. An announcement that's delighted

:08:22. > :08:23.those who drew up the plans. This will be a major

:08:24. > :08:29.event for Carlisle. A lot of work still to be done,

:08:30. > :08:32.master planning, working out exactly how this will work,

:08:33. > :08:34.but the government giving out support for that is a big

:08:35. > :08:37.boost for the city. Unlike the south east, there is no

:08:38. > :08:43.housing shortage here in Cumbria. But, the local MP believes the city

:08:44. > :08:46.has to expand in order I have long supported further

:08:47. > :08:49.development of Carlisle. I think it needs to be a bigger city

:08:50. > :08:52.to support all the infrastructure which we want to see here,

:08:53. > :08:55.leisure facilities, retail, and you're starting

:08:56. > :08:56.to see that happen. The arrival of Primark,

:08:57. > :08:59.the development of Marks Spencer, the expansion of Pioneer,

:09:00. > :09:01.these are really positive signs and I think 2017 can be

:09:02. > :09:09.a good year for Carlisle. Although there are no clear

:09:10. > :09:12.details yet as to where any new village would go,

:09:13. > :09:14.clearly any influx of people will put pressure

:09:15. > :09:16.on the area's infrastructure. Which is why a new southern bypass

:09:17. > :09:19.could be built around the south side of Carlisle,

:09:20. > :09:22.linking the M6 in the East It is much more likely that we will

:09:23. > :09:30.get a Southern development route. The government have said

:09:31. > :09:32.through this process they will work with us and give us the technical

:09:33. > :09:35.expertise and look at This is something very different

:09:36. > :09:40.to just building new housing here. Even agreement on where

:09:41. > :09:44.St Cuthbert's could be built Mark McAlindon, BBC

:09:45. > :09:54.Look North, Carlisle. Plans to extend North Durham's

:09:55. > :09:57.Accident and Emergency unit have The hospital trust says

:09:58. > :10:01.the current A was built for around 30,000 patients,

:10:02. > :10:06.but now sees double that. The ?30 million plan

:10:07. > :10:08.was voted through unanimously Protests are expected at both

:10:09. > :10:14.Darlington and Middlesbrough railway Campaigners in Cumbria are calling

:10:15. > :10:17.on the government to introduce new legislation to help

:10:18. > :10:19.protect local pubs. The Campaign For Real Ale wants

:10:20. > :10:22.a change in planning rules to make it more difficult for new owners

:10:23. > :10:25.to change the use or demolish a pub. The group says existing legislation

:10:26. > :10:27.is too complicated and delays in the application process can put

:10:28. > :10:30.pubs at threat of closure. For almost two years,

:10:31. > :10:37.this pub near Carlisle sat empty. Villagers feared it

:10:38. > :10:40.would be redeveloped, but after opening last month,

:10:41. > :10:43.the Sally is providing more We have always been

:10:44. > :10:48.a very vibrant community, and there is plenty going on here,

:10:49. > :10:52.but certainly from the day the pub opened, you saw people that perhaps

:10:53. > :10:55.you hadn't seen for a while and just being able to say hello and pass

:10:56. > :10:58.the time of day with them makes the whole place a much nicer place

:10:59. > :11:01.to live in. This pub is among around 2,000

:11:02. > :11:06.listed as assets of community value. The status gives people the chance

:11:07. > :11:10.to protect their pubs from immediate change of use or demolition

:11:11. > :11:14.before local consultation. Most of the pubs in the are

:11:15. > :11:18.have shut down now. There's four villages where there's

:11:19. > :11:22.nowhere for any social inclusion, so it is important that we have kept

:11:23. > :11:25.the pub in the village But protecting the pub as an asset

:11:26. > :11:30.for the village took time. From the moment of actually

:11:31. > :11:33.filling the form in, which is fairly simple in itself,

:11:34. > :11:37.to getting it validated, took a number of extra weeks

:11:38. > :11:42.more than we thought. There is so much else going on,

:11:43. > :11:45.and you are going against the open market, you don't really knew

:11:46. > :11:48.who is going to come and buy, It doesn't have to be

:11:49. > :11:52.any more complicated, The Solway branch of the Campaign

:11:53. > :11:57.for Real Ale wants new legislation And, while some developers have

:11:58. > :12:02.concerns about unnecessary red tape, the suggestion has been

:12:03. > :12:10.cautiously welcomed here. You're watching

:12:11. > :12:11.Tuesday's Look North. Also a behind-the-scenes look

:12:12. > :12:15.at a company which produces 70,000 And we're all going to need one

:12:16. > :12:32.of them sooner or later. And as we try to ease ourselves back

:12:33. > :12:34.into some sort of routine, what does the weather have in store? Join me

:12:35. > :12:36.for the full forecast. No prisoner should leave a Teesside

:12:37. > :12:40.jail without either a job or a place That's the ambition

:12:41. > :12:43.of Stockton's Holme House prison, as part of a multi-million-pound

:12:44. > :12:45.plan which is also giving the governors full control over

:12:46. > :12:48.the jail and its budget. Lee Johnson's been given exclusive

:12:49. > :12:51.access to the prison, These Holme House prisoners

:12:52. > :13:01.are making furniture for customers, including Hilton Hotels,

:13:02. > :13:03.Kent University and the It keeps people out of their cells,

:13:04. > :13:09.not banged up all the time. It keeps them occupied

:13:10. > :13:11.and takes their minds off things, Plus, it will help people to get

:13:12. > :13:16.back into work on the out. It will keep them out

:13:17. > :13:32.of trouble, basically. I can read, but just

:13:33. > :13:34.a little bit, not much. I've made some qualifications

:13:35. > :13:40.while I've been here. And the jail has

:13:41. > :13:42.a growing order book. If we go back 18 months,

:13:43. > :13:45.2 years ago, it was around about ?50,000 a year,

:13:46. > :13:47.the turnover, we're now Because we're now autonomous,

:13:48. > :13:50.the shackles have been taken off, and we can start to expand and work

:13:51. > :13:53.more with local people. What we would like to do is work

:13:54. > :13:56.with local industries, we would like to invite local

:13:57. > :13:58.industries in, tell us what they want and see

:13:59. > :14:01.if we can develop them. Under these Government changes,

:14:02. > :14:02.Holme House will go from being a Category B prison

:14:03. > :14:05.to a Category C training prison. That means ambitious

:14:06. > :14:07.plans for getting almost all of the 1,200 inmates here either

:14:08. > :14:10.into work or education. The prison's executive governor sees

:14:11. > :14:12.the changes as a way The more work we can bring in,

:14:13. > :14:17.the more employers we can work with. The more men that can be out every

:14:18. > :14:20.day in our workshops, working, then the better and the safer

:14:21. > :14:23.the prison gets, and the more we are So, it is a real focus

:14:24. > :14:27.around work and education. That means brushing up on basic

:14:28. > :14:30.maths and English skills to make them a more attractive

:14:31. > :14:31.prospect to employers. They don't want to be in here,

:14:32. > :14:34.they don't want to come back. The only way we can support

:14:35. > :14:38.that is by educating Now, it's a product that everyone

:14:39. > :14:51.needs sooner or later. And Britain's biggest independent

:14:52. > :14:54.manufacturer of that product is based right here in our region,

:14:55. > :14:57.at Washington on Wearside. JC Atkinson is a family firm

:14:58. > :15:01.employing 120 people. It produces 70,000 hand-crafted

:15:02. > :15:06.objects every year. 12 tonnes of wood pass

:15:07. > :15:15.through the factory every month and 14 separate employees

:15:16. > :15:17.are involved in the manufacturing process before the finished product

:15:18. > :15:19.is ready for delivery. All are hand crafted

:15:20. > :15:25.and all will only be used once. MUSIC: Toccata and Fugue

:15:26. > :15:43.in D Minor by Bach. When grandad started,

:15:44. > :15:45.he would buy trees from the local estates and he would cut those up

:15:46. > :15:48.and make a coffin kit, which was basically a flat pack

:15:49. > :15:51.which funeral directors would then When my father came

:15:52. > :15:56.into the business, he started making ready-made coffins and we've refined

:15:57. > :16:00.that to make eco coffins, And it's a workplace

:16:01. > :16:03.that inspires loyalty, with many employees clocking up

:16:04. > :16:08.decades of service. Everybody that knows me,

:16:09. > :16:10.knows I've been working here that long so they all know I'm a coffin

:16:11. > :16:14.maker but strangers find it a bit interesting when I start

:16:15. > :16:16.talking to strangers. I get the jokes, the dead-end job

:16:17. > :16:19.and all that, to die in trade, The coffin industry has

:16:20. > :16:22.changed a lot in David's Increasingly, families want

:16:23. > :16:26.personalised coffins with pictures that represent their loved ones'

:16:27. > :16:30.interests in life. JC Atkinson call it

:16:31. > :16:34.their Reflections line. We do spring blossom flowers,

:16:35. > :16:37.we do a lot of bluebell flowers but often people have a scene

:16:38. > :16:41.or a landscape that they have grown up on and that is quite specific

:16:42. > :16:45.to the person themselves. We have done some

:16:46. > :16:48.Star Wars ones before. We have done a coffin filled

:16:49. > :16:57.with chocolate and Mars bars. But the boss still wants

:16:58. > :17:02.a traditional coffin when he goes. I would say it would be probably

:17:03. > :17:06.a nice solid oak traditional coffin But, just as life presents us

:17:07. > :17:31.with so many choices, There you go. Prisons and coffin is,

:17:32. > :17:36.we know how to bring in the New Year! This now is team talk.

:17:37. > :17:40.A New Year but an old problem for our football teams.

:17:41. > :17:41.We couldn't find a winner amongst them.

:17:42. > :17:46.Where did you get to over the holidays, Steve?

:17:47. > :17:51.A point apiece for our Premier League teams,

:17:52. > :17:56.A dreadful defeat at Burnley on New Year's Eve, but they got it

:17:57. > :17:58.spot-on yesterday against a very good Liverpool side,

:17:59. > :18:06.with two penalties scored by this man, Jermaine Defoe.

:18:07. > :18:12.Hasn't missed a penalty for five years, 25 consecutive.

:18:13. > :18:17.Very important, especially yesterday. First penalty under

:18:18. > :18:25.pressure, takes it very well. When the same person as taking the second

:18:26. > :18:30.penalty, what is the psychology? You tend to think he is going the

:18:31. > :18:34.opposite way, but under pressure, it is easier to put your foot through

:18:35. > :18:44.it. Should they have had a third penalty? I think that is all to

:18:45. > :18:49.hand, no movement towards it. Djilobodji played this one end.

:18:50. > :18:57.Disappointing to concede from two set pieces. And Mannone found it

:18:58. > :19:02.tough at Burnley. He did very well yesterday. A tough day at Burnley

:19:03. > :19:04.but that well yesterday. Reinforcements on the way in the

:19:05. > :19:06.transfer window? I think we answered that question

:19:07. > :19:09.and the Chief Executive answered that question a week or so ago,

:19:10. > :19:11.so who knows? But we did answer that question

:19:12. > :19:13.and Martin Bain told Like Sunderland, it wasn't

:19:14. > :19:24.the most productive A heart-breaking defeat

:19:25. > :19:26.at Manchester United, followed by a pretty dull goalless

:19:27. > :19:39.draw with the champions Leicester We seem to say it every week, only

:19:40. > :19:49.17 goals all season and needing reinforcement. Talking in bringing

:19:50. > :20:02.in Gestede from Aston Villa. He is very good up in the air. And Traore

:20:03. > :20:10.is dividing opinion. Is this a penalty? He is positive and direct.

:20:11. > :20:14.Definite contact, it is a foul, but I like how positive years. The

:20:15. > :20:21.contact is maybe just outside so at least a free kick. I am disappointed

:20:22. > :20:23.with the goalless draw, but not the head coach.

:20:24. > :20:26.Yes, but, again, when your team play the way that we have played today

:20:27. > :20:29.against what we can't forget is the current Premier League winner

:20:30. > :20:31.and a team which is playing in the Champions League,

:20:32. > :20:34.we showed again that we were better than them when we played

:21:02. > :21:03.looking like they are heading down. Well, Newcastle might have been top

:21:04. > :21:05.of the Championship table at Christmas but it's been pretty

:21:06. > :21:08.ropey for the Magpies since then, and not the start to 2017

:21:09. > :21:11.Rafa Benitez had hoped for or, Third bottom Blackburn doing

:21:12. > :21:24.the double over them. A disappointing run for Newcastle,

:21:25. > :21:29.tough over Christmas. Struggling to get past Nottingham Forest. Plenty

:21:30. > :21:39.of chances but didn't take them. They dominated possession, without

:21:40. > :21:47.Jonjo Shelvey in the team. Offside? This one was a handball. Initially

:21:48. > :21:50.it doesn't look like much but it is not a bad little forearm into the

:21:51. > :21:56.back of the net. A tough day all round from Newcastle. Blackburn, not

:21:57. > :22:04.very many chances. Clumsy. So after taking just three

:22:21. > :22:23.In League Two, a bit of everything for Carlisle and Hartlepool.

:22:24. > :22:26.A win, a draw and a defeat for both, over the holidays.

:22:27. > :22:28.And the Cumbrians began the year with a shock against Grimsby,

:22:29. > :22:31.when three points would have seen them go back to

:22:32. > :22:40.Unexpected first home defeat of the season. A good run for them,

:22:41. > :22:44.especially disappointing yesterday. I think the disappointing thing was

:22:45. > :22:52.the way they conceded a goal to stop a little bit easy. Weak defending. A

:22:53. > :22:58.free header from a set piece. And then the third one was too easy.

:22:59. > :23:02.Plymouth last as well which would have given them a break at the top

:23:03. > :23:08.but Hartlepool got a great win over Morecambe and a good point at

:23:09. > :23:12.Accrington. A good win at home and good character to come from behind

:23:13. > :23:17.twice. A very good header at the back post to put them level. On the

:23:18. > :23:20.back of the home when it was important to pick up a good point

:23:21. > :23:29.away from home which they did, coming from behind twice. Second
