09/01/2017 Look North (North East and Cumbria)

and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

Hello, welcome to Monday's Look North.

A difficult and dangerous situation.

With a dramatic end to a police siege at a bookmakers.

This evening a man continues to be questioned by officers.

It was very quickly apparent there were three customs inside and one

member of staff and e-mail appeared to have a sawn off shotgun. All

members of the public appear to be safe and there was no injury.

A growing problem in our schools.

Children as young as 12 as texting sexually explicit

Triplets born 13 weeks early are back on Teesside -

after having specialist treatment on Merseyside.

And the North East doctors providing life-saving medical treatment

for those from some of the poorest parts of the world.

In sport, we've got three clubs in tonight's FA Cup draw,

but only Boro are guaranteed a place in the 4th round.

And the flying Falcons come from behind to sink

-- to pull the plug on Bach in a real thriller.

Northumbria Police have confirmed they ended an armed siege

on South Tyneside last night by shooting a man with

Four hostages were held in the Coral bookmakers in Grange Road in Jarrow,

After a tense three hours, armed police ended the siege.

Officers say they used a "non lethal weapon" in the incident

A 39-year-old man's been arrested and he's been questioned

Well, our correspondent Mark Denten is in Jarrow

Mark a very different scene 24 hours on.

It certainly is. This is the spot where the siege happened 24 hours

before. This is inside the police cordoned. We are right in the middle

of Jarrow. The Viking shopping centre is just the other side of

here. In that direction you happy historic town hall, which is the

area of the famous Jarrow March. Right in the heart of this place 24

hours ago a three hour long armed siege.

They watched and they waited, local people beyond the police

cordon trying to understand what was happening right

Because inside the Coral bookmakers last night - a siege.

Police were called shortly after a quarter to six to reports

that a man carrying a firearm had gone inside.

Imagine what it was like if you knew someone inside there.

20-year-old Nicholas Mcullough was working

His mother was absolutely traumatised when she found out. That

is when she called me and we got cut off. I came straight down because

you think, oh, shot gun, goodness me. We were just having tea. And I

saw he was distraught. He was in the bookies and it is where he works and

was being held hostage. Nicholas and two other

hostages were released. Shortly after 8.45 another hostage

reported to be an elderly And then, five minutes

later, this... That was shot. He has been shot. He

has been shot. He has shot. He's been shot.

was a less lethal weapon they used but look carefully, you can see one

of the officers calmly picking up what looks like a shotgun and place

The police say this was a textbook operation.

It was quickly apparent that there were three customers inside and one

member of staff and the man had entered with what appeared to be a

sawn off shotgun. That is now being examined by specialist people. We do

not know if it was a real weapon or a replica. We are pleased with how

it went last night. All members of the public were safe. There were no

injuries. We were very pleased. The Coral bookmakers

remained closed today while police continued

their inquiries. Meanwhile, a 39-year-old man

was arrested at the scene and a firearm was

seized by officers. More details have been emerging

about the siege today. Yes, they have, Carol. The police said they

used an AEP projectile launcher to end the siege. It sounds dramatic if

you're not in the police force. It is actually a non-lethal way of

stopping incidents like this. It is in effect a modern and safe form of

the rubber bullet system, or the bat on round system. The round 's

collapse on impact. We are told by the college of policing that trained

officers aim for the lower half of the body, the buckle area, when they

are using it. Meanwhile, a 39-year-old man arrested yesterday

is being questioned throughout today. Police have stretched they

have not ruled out further arrests, particularly on the areas of

supplying weapons. The police have also stressed what happened 24 hours

ago is very rare. Something which will no doubt give reassurance as

Jarrow gets back to normal life. Mark, thank you.

Children as young as 12 are sending sexually explicit

photographs of themselves via their mobile phones.

That's one of the findings of a report that's being discussed

Sexting, as it's known, has become a growing problem

for many of our schools and police forces and there's been an increase

This public information video shows how people have been duped

into filming sexually explicit pictures of themselves -

But now more and more schools are having to deal with children

sending naked photographs of themselves

Photographs that can then be seen by hundreds of people.

They are in a trusting relationship, they might trust their partner will

keep that to themselves and often they do not and it is sent to

friends and they forward it on and schools try to deal with the

aftermath of that in supporting students in a sensitive issue and

helping them and their families. A report by Middlesbrough

Council says the police - locally and nationally -

are being overwhelmed by the The Council of Middlesbrough carried

out some research and questioned 600 secondary school children between

the age of 13 and 14. Out of the 600, 130 admitted sending naked

pictures of themselves. The council said it was aware of some children

as young as 12 sending sexually explicit pictures.

Some politicians claim that access to new technology

is creating unprecedented risks for young children.

We are speaking about children are looking at aspects of vulnerability

with not knowing the dangers and consequences of their actions but

also we are looking to raise awareness among parents. Parents are

often not aware of these issues. Government, people in the community

responsible for taking care of young people.

The biggest food bank in the UK says it's running out of basic supplies -

following a 25% increase in demand the week before Christmas.

The Newcastle West End Food Bank usually needs 10 trolleys

full of food every day to manage its demand.

And tonight a lorry will be heading to Epsom in Surrey

and Harrow in Middlesex to collect surplus food.

This is the warehouse of the biggest foodbank in the UK.

And 1,000 people rely on donations from here every week.

Stocks may look fairly healthy but balancing the mix of donations

We have 14 pallets of tinned vegetables. That could last one

month or maybe a little bit more. But we cannot make up a lot of boxes

with just vegetables. We need other food to build up a parcel as well.

In the week before Christmas 25% more people were given food and some

essential supplies are running low. This week the food

bank will hand out We have got enough for a couple of

days but we will run out by the end of the week. What does that mean for

people coming here? We need to substitute for things we have plenty

of which means the dietary balance goes out.

to pick up surplus food from warehouses in the south of England.

We need to take a mix from them. We can ask them, we are very short of

this and they will try their best. But we're basically clearing up the

back of their warehouse. We tend to get the things they have got the

most. And funnily enough it is what we have the most as well. So it does

not work ideally. They took their parents

by surprise when they arrived Expectant couple Rachel Davison

and Paul O'Rourke were at home in Billingham when Rachel's

waters broke early. As she was having triplets -

she needed to be transferred to a hospital on Merseyside

where specialist But the family's now been reunited

on Teesside and it all happened just in time for Christmas,

Phil Chapman reports. Lilly, Poppy and Holly arrived

weighing under two pounds each They are now back on Teesside

after a triple transfer involving an air ambulance charity

as well as the north-east and north-west ambulance services,

to get the babies reunited at James north-west ambulance service

transferred them to Chester airfield and North East Ambulance Service

transferred them from Durham Tees Valley to here and the house

charity where I stayed in Liverpool and obviously the unit

here as well at James Cook. Now the family is

reunited on Teesside. The triplets can now

start the New Year I think they are quite

bewildered by it all. It is what to expect

when you are getting some new sisters and suddenly

they are here but not close I thought I would not see them till

after Christmas which would've been really quite upsetting, because

obviously you want to be with all With them being down

Liverpool I did not know So them being down

Liverpool was just quite sad, because I only saw them

once or twice after they were born and didn't see them

till they came back. Next Christmas may be

a long way off but the family is hoping for a slightly

quieter one this year. Plenty more to come

in Monday's Look North. Jeff and Steve are here with a look

back at the weekend's action, plus: Why putting a bed

in a river has seen an increase in the number of salmon

in this Cumbrian river. Proper January weather is on the way

as the northern wind cools things down, bringing snow in places. Join

me later for the full forecast. As a charity, it funds operations

on people living in one The SVJC Trust arranges for a team

of volunteers to travel from the north east to a hospital

in Dervan on India's west coast. The first trip was 11 years ago

and now they're preparing to head back in a few days' time

with doctors and nurses Each year doctors, nurses

and technicians from the region have been volunteering at an Indian

hospital for one week. This is one of 2,000

operations they have carried In a few days a team of 22 medics

from hospitals in the north-east and from other parts

of the country will head back out to The idea came from a consultant

at South Tyneside We see the smile on the patients

at the other end and basically the patients had

recovered, like getting and being able to see,

being able to walk and getting function back,

so All the NHS staff involved give up

their own time to take one week of It is funded by ourselves,

all the medical staff pay for their own trip out

there and we take time off Other staff make contributions

and also do Diane, an orthopaedic theatre

sister, has been there twice. We had a child with a deformed

foot and we straightened the foot and that

was massive for me. The parents could not

afford it and it would really have impacted

on Generally there are people

who are working on their knees on hard floors and by giving

them a hip replacement you allow them to bend and move so they can

carry on with their lives. It is hoped more life changing

operations will take place Meanwhile the charity

hopes to start working in The restoration of a Cumbria river

which was straightened around 200 years ago is already showing

positive results for fish breeding. Swindale Beck, near Haweswater,

was straightened to clear land for grazing, but the fast river flow

made it difficult for salmon Last summer the bends were put back

into the beck and now Somewhere in amongst the bubbling

flow at Swindale Beck are spawning salmon,

the return of the unfortunately camera shy fish comes

after months of work returning the river

to its There were reports of significant

salmon seen in the newly This is fantastic news

because originally it was very straight

and it conveyed the water

at high velocity through Salmon need that

material to spawn on it. But thanks to the bends,

the river's slowed and the gravel that's built up is perfect

for salmon breeding. Along the river banks thousands

of trees have been planted the way the farm land is used has also

changed, all part of of a river restoration programme happening

right across the county. In doing the project and putting

bends back into the river along with other features such

as backwaters, we have created that habitat diversity which allows more

species to come in to use the channel and also to use

the surrounding flood plain. Heavy rain here in the last few days

has caused the valley floor While that might not seem

like a good thing it is another benefit to the restoration works

here which should have a positive By keeping as much water up at this

part as we possibly can it means when we have big flood events not

all of the flood peaks will be hitting

the pinch points of the river If each of the other

upper catchments can do projects like this and slow the flow

into the valley it will make a positive contribution

to protecting properties downstream. And its hoped the

positive results under water and down the valley

here will encourage similar It is good to see the scenery again.

Now it is time for team talk with Jeff and Steve.

"the magic of the FA Cup" - not sure there was too much of that

around at the weekend, although our three survivors WILL be

I think that is the only constant -- consolation. Dave Nugent were sold

to Derby County. By the way that was Middlesbrough the only

ones definitely through, with a bit of help from Sheffield

Wednesday goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith. Wednesday nicknamed "the Owls",

just to explain that one! that is not a great backpass but

credit to the spot -- striker Paul taking the opportunity. He got a bit

of a half-time rocket. The half-time hairdryer can certainly work. You

can see that winning the free kick leading to the goal. The keeper

should have got it? Well taken but he will be disappointed to get

beaten. A red card? Not for me. Not very clear scoring opportunity,

especially with George friend covering back here. I think they

might win that one. This player on loan and managed to get this finish.

Who would be a goalkeeper? You made the move. This is what Aitor Karanka

said about it. I told them at half-time

that the game looked If they played the second

half in the same way, Even with ten men we were better

than them and we showed For me it is a really important

competition, the FA Cup. On to Newcastle, still

in the competition, after a 1-1 draw with Championship rivals,

Birmingham City. Much debate about the team

Rafa Benitez would put out. Now Murphy's Law says if anything

can go wrong, it will go wrong. Not for Daryl Murphy -

scoring his first Bit of a scramble. The keeper

desperate to keep the ball out of the net. He came flying in had left

him with a nasty cut but Murphy does not know that. Should he have been

in the team all this season? Not for me. I think with his record, they

are in good hands and sadly they are without him for a month. And I'm not

sure how he missed this chance. Looks like he should have tapped

back in. We will give him the benefit of the doubt with the camera

angle, it is probably wider than you think. This is difficult mark in the

middle of the goal. And the striker...

Sunderland drew a crowd of just under 18,000

for their goalless draw with Burnley.

Those fans who stayed away didn't miss much.

Let's hope next week's replay at Turf Moor doesn't turn

Joey Barton, pantomime villain. What is the like as a team-mate? He would

certainly have played upward. How does the half empty stadium affects

the players? A flat stadium can produce a flat performance. But the

fans respond to what they see on the pitch and if the atmosphere is flat,

the game is going to be the same. Coming into a bit of form. That'll

be pleasing for David Moyes. But in general a tough game at almost lost

at the end. Might have been a blessing for Sunderland. It is a

team of both -- game both teams could have done without. For me this

is just outside. It is definitely a foul. Incredible to see what it

isn't, a free kick for Burnley for handball. As we can see from the

reaction by Jermain Defoe. Indeed! I think we used up all

of our energy in the We probably looked better

in the first half than round draw by switching over

to BBC2, straight after Look North! Into League Two, and Carlisle United

manager Keith Curle says he won't panic,

despite the fact the Cumbrians have now lost two in a row,

having previously been beaten only They are going to have problems on

the way. They have done very well. The man of the goals have been

disappointing. A poor goal here, no man's land. Not that he would say

that anyway. It is just the ease of it as well, seven goals in two

games. But still three defeats in 25. Still very well-placed in third

position. But the pack got a bit closer to them. I think 19 games

about a clean sheet which will be a worry, Bisley. Still in the

promotion race. Hartlepool losing possession once again. -- obviously.

They have had a couple of decent points away from home but that is

five home games they have lost. Solid away. Need to be better at

home. Indeed. You're 4-2 up, against 10-men,

eight minutes left in a Cup tie at the home of one of your biggest

rivals - and the floodlights fail. It has to be. It is harsh on Morpeth

with the way the rules are. Well that's what happened

to Morpeth Town, holders of the FA Vase and defending their title

at South Shields, who've been going great guns

in the Northern League. Shields had former Sunderland

and Middlesbrough star Keith Graydon scored a cracker

and Liam Henderson had just curled in a beauty for Town's fourth goal

when the lights went out. Morpeth, not surprisingly,

are not amused! Tough one to go back and win again.

It is, very much so. Thank you very much. I will see you next week.

Changing sports - Newcastle Falcons' dramatic late win over Bath

on Friday saw them climb to sixth in rugby union's Premiership.

And the fact they've fallen back to ninth -

after the three teams below them all won - shouldn't detract

For the second week running The Falcons stormed

after three minutes converted by converted by man of the match

Bath offered little in the first half.

George Ford missed two kickable penalties before nailing a third

to cut Newcastle's half time lead to four points.

It was a completely different Bath side that came out

Ford converting his own try to put his

side ahead before the ever-dangerous Semesa Rokoduguni touched down twice

to leave the Falcons trailing by 12 points

But the indomitable Mark Wilson inspired a comeback forcing his way

over for his second try in two weeks.

Replacement prop Ben Harris did the same four minutes later

to level things up, while Hodgson's cool conversion gave

them a two point lead, which they held on to to make it

Great stuff. It has been a good game. I like the sound of the

half-time hairdryer! Don't say a word! Colder later in

the week, he said, moving swiftly on! Some raise here, looking at it

from Penrith, thank you, John. A calm and reflective picture of water

here, thanks, Trevor. And some are Northumbria raise as well from

Susan. Quite a calm theme to these weather pictures. It is all change

in the wind goes more in a northerly direction. Much colder and some snow

on the way for some of us. Some showers around this evening. Some

winter conditions over the hill tops, nothing much more than that.

Many showers will die away in eastern areas. But keeping a fair

amount of them from the Pennines westwards. Temperatures down to

three or four and it is too windy for any frost that former. Tomorrow

morning, showers moving from West to East. Running out moving eastwards.

More rain coming from western parts through the afternoon. That again

tends to die out moving further east. Middlesbrough and York will

probably stay dry through the day. Highs of nine or ten tomorrow. Ten

is 50 Fahrenheit. Westerly winds will be quite brisk at times. We are

keeping our eyes on the second half of the week as the wind changes

direction and comes from the cold north-westerly. That means

temperatures are set to drop. Some showers brought down with it as

well, turning increasingly wintry and even down to lower levels in

places, heading to the tail end of the week. Showery and gaps in

between. Some sunshine by day and clear spells overnight. You will

notice it turning colder. Not for the next couple of days. Rain at

times tomorrow, temperatures nudging double figures. Only a shade cool on

Wednesday and turning more wintry on the hills. But as we head to

Thursday and Friday the snow will become more of an issue. Initially

on higher ground and eventually snow showers down to lower levels giving

a dusting in places and temperatures cold enough for overnight frost.

Feeling much colder as we head to the end of the week. We will keep

you updated on the weather for the week ahead on the late programme and

on local BBC radio stations. That is my New Year resolution out of the

window already. All that jogging I was planning to do at the end of the

week! You can do plenty indoors. No! Good night.
