:00:44. > :00:46.And, we look at plans for a major new sports ground
:00:47. > :01:05.17 years ago, a group of patients with a rare form of blood cancer
:01:06. > :01:10.They decided to take part in a clinical trial in Newcastle
:01:11. > :01:13.and now many have lived to see children grow up and
:01:14. > :01:19.Remarkably, some are now thought to be cured -
:01:20. > :01:21.something doctors never thought possible.
:01:22. > :01:24.The long term results of the trial have just been accepted
:01:25. > :01:26.for publication and the patients have been speaking

:01:39. > :01:43.she was told she had just a few years to live.
:01:44. > :01:46.She was offered a place on a clinical trial in the year 2000.
:01:47. > :01:52.I think I just thought there isn't another option, really.

:01:55. > :01:59.It never occurred to me I would see my family grow up.
:02:00. > :02:06.I thought by 50 I would be dead, so I am thrilled.

:02:16. > :02:22.The long term results of the study, which Newcastle doctors helped
:02:23. > :02:25.lead, have just been accepted for publication.
:02:26. > :02:28.This trial has really led to a complete change

:02:36. > :02:37.being used to treat anything from lung cancer to
:02:38. > :02:43.When the trial got underway in the year 2000, doctors
:02:44. > :02:46.were hopeful they'd be able to extend patients' lives,
:02:47. > :02:49.but what they didn't foresee was that some
:02:50. > :02:57.Like Margaret, the very first patient on the trial.
:02:58. > :03:00.I had a brother who had died, and even if he had been alive
:03:01. > :03:03.and been a match, I would have been too old to have a bone
:03:04. > :03:07.I would have danced with the devil to have extra time.
:03:08. > :03:12.I have seen seven grandchildren being born.
:03:13. > :03:15.I can't believe I would have lasted for 17 years,
:03:16. > :03:18.and that the disease would have gone.
:03:19. > :03:22.Now the Freeman Hospital is involved in a follow-up study where, so far,
:03:23. > :03:25.more than 90% of the patients have shown no evidence of relapsing
:03:26. > :03:28.a year after reducing their dosage, with some coming off
:03:29. > :03:36.Up to half of the patients don't need to remain on the drug,
:03:37. > :03:40.and therefore we are stopping the drug for patients
:03:41. > :03:47.The patient loses the side effects, the NHS loses the drug bill.
:03:48. > :03:50.Since the year 2000, Newcastle hospitals have been
:03:51. > :03:52.involved in more than 400 cancer treatment trials, featuring more
:03:53. > :03:54.than 11,000 of their patients - something doctors here
:03:55. > :04:02.Without research, half the patients with this disease would have
:04:03. > :04:05.died after five years, but now they have a normal life span.
:04:06. > :04:09.So it is painful and expensive to do research, it takes a lot of time,
:04:10. > :04:15.I feel lucky, very blessed to have been in Newcastle at a time
:04:16. > :04:22.For the most part, on the drugs I've been on, within a few months
:04:23. > :04:46.Three men from Carlisle have been banned from all football grounds
:04:47. > :04:48.for their part in a brawl with stewards at a match
:04:49. > :04:50.between Carlisle and Hartlepool last October.
:04:51. > :04:52.Magistrates heard that trouble flared when Carlisle scored and fans
:04:53. > :04:55.Luke Hodgson, who's 18, Stephen Neaves, who's 25
:04:56. > :04:57.and Carl Swan who's 24, were banned from football
:04:58. > :05:08.A 56-year-old grandfather escaped a ban, despite throwing a punch.
:05:09. > :05:10.Look North has learned health managers who are closing
:05:11. > :05:12.Hartlepool Hospital's licensed fertility unit rejected a bid
:05:13. > :05:15.from a company that's already run fertility services there.
:05:16. > :05:18.Earlier this month, the local Clinical Commissioning Group
:05:19. > :05:21.announced that licensed fertility treatment will end, meaning
:05:22. > :05:24.patients will have to travel as far as Newcastle.
:05:25. > :05:31.Managers said they couldn't find a new organisation to run
:05:32. > :05:34.the service, but they'd already rejected a bid from a firm running
:05:35. > :05:47.Health managers wanted to close car people's fertility unit last year.
:05:48. > :05:52.At an emotional meeting last summer it was saved. Now those same
:05:53. > :05:56.managers say licensed fertility treatment here must end. With all
:05:57. > :06:00.those twists and turns it must be hard for local patients to keep up
:06:01. > :06:04.with what is happening. But the local clinical commissioning group
:06:05. > :06:06.said they had a limited response from organisations that actually
:06:07. > :06:13.wanted to run the fertility services here. Quality standards were not met
:06:14. > :06:15.either. But we have learned that one organisation that was bidding to run
:06:16. > :06:21.services here has actually been running some fertility services at
:06:22. > :06:24.this hospital for several months. It was what the council had to say
:06:25. > :06:31.about their concerns earlier this month. I am extremely angry. Right
:06:32. > :06:35.back in October, we were contacted by some interested parties who were
:06:36. > :06:39.finding it extremely difficult to get the information that they
:06:40. > :06:46.required to put the bits together. We now know who that interested
:06:47. > :06:51.party was. This video is from the care fertility group. They have 15
:06:52. > :06:55.clinics up and down Britain, and were already supporting services in
:06:56. > :06:58.Hartlepool. The local clinical commissioning group decided they did
:06:59. > :07:02.not pass muster in the bidding process, which means people like
:07:03. > :07:06.Jodie, waiting for licensed fertility treatment for six years,
:07:07. > :07:11.cannot have it in Hartlepool. The top and bottom of it is I have to
:07:12. > :07:15.have fertility treatment to have children, and as the years go on and
:07:16. > :07:20.the months pass on, my body clock is slowing down. The care fertility
:07:21. > :07:40.group are not mincing their words either. They say:
:07:41. > :07:45.It must be disappointing for everyone who was waiting to undergo
:07:46. > :07:47.fertility treatment. But it is as though they have
:07:48. > :07:49.already made their minds up. Well, Mark joins me
:07:50. > :07:50.now from Hartlepool. So, another twist at
:07:51. > :07:52.the town's fertility unit. What are the managers
:07:53. > :08:04.saying tonight? The sign behind me, K outside the
:08:05. > :08:06.hospital, says no emergency department, and no licensed
:08:07. > :08:13.fertility services either, much to the consternation of people like
:08:14. > :08:18.Jodie. The local clinical commissioning group, no comment from
:08:19. > :08:21.them so far tonight, but in the past they have said the rules for
:08:22. > :08:26.procurement are strict, and due process was followed in this case.
:08:27. > :08:31.One little footnote, I understand this whole affair will be discussed
:08:32. > :08:32.at a scrutiny panel next month. Perhaps more to come.
:08:33. > :08:35.Thank you. A 6ft 7 inch car dealer
:08:36. > :08:37.from Newcastle has been banned from driving for 12 months
:08:38. > :08:39.after pleading guilty to dangerous driving,
:08:40. > :08:42.but he maintains it was all down 26-year-old Adam Elliott was accused
:08:43. > :08:46.of standing up while he was driving a convertible Ford Ka
:08:47. > :08:49.on the Tyne Bridge a year ago, but he insists he was
:08:50. > :08:53.sitting down at the time. This incident took place
:08:54. > :08:59.in January last year, when car dealer Adam Elliot
:09:00. > :09:02.was on his way back from buying He had the roof down,
:09:03. > :09:07.and he's accused of standing up in the car while he was driving over
:09:08. > :09:10.the Tyne Bridge. Although he insists
:09:11. > :09:12.that he was sitting down and it was just his 6'7 stature that
:09:13. > :09:16.made him look like he was standing, he took the advice of his lawyer
:09:17. > :09:20.and pleaded guilty to dangerous But I was too tall for the car,
:09:21. > :09:29.and that has caused a distraction Well, I was playing up to people
:09:30. > :09:40.that were waving, but I would say They were waving
:09:41. > :09:45.at me, I waved back. Mr Elliot has 12 previous
:09:46. > :09:47.convictions of driving while disqualified, and he now has
:09:48. > :09:50.to wait until next month I am worried, but I have been
:09:51. > :09:55.honest and I have accepted what I have done is wrong,
:09:56. > :09:59.so I can only hope for the best and hope they realise
:10:00. > :10:01.it was a bit of foolishness. The judge gave Mr Elliott credit,
:10:02. > :10:04.saying he sensibly pleaded guilty But he went on to say,
:10:05. > :10:09."It was obvious that you were showing off,
:10:10. > :10:11.demonstrating your height, and distracting other drivers
:10:12. > :10:15.in a small open topped vehicle." Mr Elliott will be sentenced
:10:16. > :10:27.the week commencing 27th February. A North Yorkshire farmers' mart
:10:28. > :10:30.that's been in existence for over 100 years says it doesn't know
:10:31. > :10:33.if it can survive a big hike Hawes Mart sells 100,000 sheep
:10:34. > :10:39.a year, but will see its rates bill leap from ?7,500 a year
:10:40. > :10:43.to ?47,000 from April. It's just one rural enterprise that
:10:44. > :10:45.will be disproportionately hit by a new government revaluation
:10:46. > :10:48.of premises - something that's Our Business Correspondent
:10:49. > :11:00.Ian Reeve reports. Sheep have been sold at this auction
:11:01. > :11:03.mart in Hawes for 103 years. It has seen its business
:11:04. > :11:09.rates shoot up. The revaluation means a big
:11:10. > :11:14.bill is coming in April. We have been paying business rates
:11:15. > :11:16.of about ?7,000, ?7,500, It means that the mart
:11:17. > :11:25.is not going to be viable. The profits that we make
:11:26. > :11:27.are not substantial. It is going to be touch and go
:11:28. > :11:31.whether we can survive. Business rates have been
:11:32. > :11:33.reset across the country. Some properties will see a fall,
:11:34. > :11:37.but rural enterprises are the worst hit in the first revaluation
:11:38. > :11:40.for seven years. The figures are compiled by
:11:41. > :11:44.Whitehall's Valuation Office Agency, a London body threatening

:11:48. > :12:00.in the North of England, and most of them have received
:12:01. > :12:02.an increase of around 100%, and some 200%, but nobody has had
:12:03. > :12:08.a rise like ours of 600%. 100,000 sheep are sold
:12:09. > :12:11.here every year, including The mart is an essential
:12:12. > :12:22.part of the process I almost regard it as
:12:23. > :12:27.insurance, the auction. You send things into an abattoir
:12:28. > :12:31.and you are certainly not as safe, But, if the mart goes,
:12:32. > :12:37.it won't only be farmers Stuart's guesthouse offers a stay
:12:38. > :12:44.for mart buyers and sellers. September and October are busy
:12:45. > :12:48.months anyway in Hawes, but the mart adds something to it
:12:49. > :12:51.because you get farmers from all And then you get the visitors
:12:52. > :12:57.who find it a huge attraction as well, so it is a big part
:12:58. > :13:00.of Hawes, the market. In its defence, the Valuation Office
:13:01. > :13:03.Agency says it sets rateable values fairly and equally,
:13:04. > :13:06.but there is an appeal process. Time enough for the mart to no

:13:13. > :13:24.is taking place in Cumbria to help avoid future staff shortages
:13:25. > :13:27.in the NHS and emergency services. 600 schoolchildren are taking part

:13:58. > :14:01.find them. We want to encourage young people to join us in the
:14:02. > :14:04.ambience service and all the emergency services, and we want to
:14:05. > :14:09.encourage people who live in Umbria to stay and work in Cumbria. We have
:14:10. > :14:12.some trouble keeping them here sometimes, but we encourage people
:14:13. > :14:15.who live and work here and understand the area to join us.
:14:16. > :14:19.Rural geography and career opportunities can make recruitment
:14:20. > :14:23.difficult in Cumbria. Finding ways to ease those problems now and in
:14:24. > :14:27.the future are crucial. Everyone always says we have got a crisis
:14:28. > :14:31.right now, what will we do? Maybe if we had done something like this five
:14:32. > :14:35.years ago we would be in a better situation. The ultimate aim is to
:14:36. > :14:39.encourage some of our students into our health care professions. From
:14:40. > :14:43.health care options to policing and social work, the feedback from
:14:44. > :14:47.students so far is positive. I want to work in the police when I am

:14:52. > :14:55.be in the police force. Very useful because I did not think about
:14:56. > :14:58.paramedics until I came. Now I am debating about what I want to do
:14:59. > :15:03.with my future. Quite useful, to be fair. I have got to learn quite a

:18:05. > :18:09.That pig hasn't had a penny up its backside in about ten years.

:19:43. > :19:45.The landscape and the architecture are spectacular.
:19:46. > :19:47.Newcastle has got some of the finest city buildings,
:19:48. > :19:50.and also I have to say some of the worst.
:19:51. > :19:55.What drew us was the character and the language, and this sense
:19:56. > :20:01.With no film fund currently in place, the health of the region's
:20:02. > :20:06.TV and film industry is down to the allure of its natural assets.
:20:07. > :20:09.In 2015, the region's film and TV industry generated about ?30 million
:20:10. > :20:24.Just imagine what we could do if we had those funds again.
:20:25. > :20:30.The future lies firmly in the lap of the film gods.

:20:54. > :20:56.it s been rejected by the chairman, Steve Gibson, who, of course,
:20:57. > :20:58.has been in sole charge of the club since 1994.

:21:29. > :21:39.Joleon Lescott has become Sunderland's first signing
:21:40. > :21:43.The defender has joined the Black Cats on a short-term contract.
:21:44. > :21:46.The 34-year-old, who spent three years with David Moyes at Everton,
:21:47. > :21:50.has been training on Wearside for the last couple of weeks.

:22:20. > :22:24.The idea is it would serve both the local community and possibly
:22:25. > :22:26.the town's football team, Berwick Rangers.
:22:27. > :22:29.The Berwick Stadium Trust has found last near East Ord
:22:30. > :22:32.which it wants to develop, to inspire a future generation
:22:33. > :22:42.Dawn Thewlis has been for a look around.
:22:43. > :22:50.If you build it, they will come. The famous line from the Kevin Costner
:22:51. > :22:52.film, field of dreams. This is Berwick's field of dreams, where
:22:53. > :22:56.they want to create the best sporting facility for miles around.
:22:57. > :23:03.In real life it is never quite as simple as that, and it is still very
:23:04. > :23:07.much just a dream. We have got an option on this site, a fantastic
:23:08. > :23:12.location state of the bypass, and we are working from an idea on a piece
:23:13. > :23:16.of paper to make it reality. It is taking quite a long time to get to
:23:17. > :23:18.this stage, so I would not be deluded enough to think it will
:23:19. > :23:21.happen immediately, but already there has been a groundswell of
:23:22. > :23:24.support, and all it takes is the right people to speak to each other
:23:25. > :23:30.desire getting things done on the ground. The semiprofessional
:23:31. > :23:34.football part of it would be that stadium there with a grassed pitch.
:23:35. > :23:39.Triple facilities are a big heart of the plan. The home of Berwick
:23:40. > :23:43.Rangers has seen Berwick Billy Macri better days. The project is not
:23:44. > :23:48.dependent on the Scottish League 2 side moving there. John is also a
:23:49. > :23:52.director of the club, so how has the idea been received so far? I think a
:23:53. > :23:56.cautious welcome to the idea. At the minute it is an idea. It is my job
:23:57. > :24:00.as the person who is pushing this forward to put it into an idea that
:24:01. > :24:05.is well thought out and costed. All we are concerned about at the moment
:24:06. > :24:10.is making it a realistic option. It is about much more than football. As
:24:11. > :24:13.well as artificial pitches, indoor and outdoor, that would be a
:24:14. > :24:22.gymnastics hall, multisports court and a full-sized running track. We
:24:23. > :24:26.spoke to guide early on in the process and he travels thousands of
:24:27. > :24:30.miles each year to get a good track to train on. Everyone who will come
:24:31. > :24:34.after him in the world of athletics would welcome a new track here. Now
:24:35. > :24:38.the hard work begins finding financial backing and support from
:24:39. > :24:43.the town county council to turn Eric's Field of dreams into reality.
:24:44. > :24:49.We have got another piece on Berwick club later in the week. There is a
:24:50. > :24:54.big anniversary coming up. I will say no more.
:24:55. > :24:57.Man of mystery! Now, the weather. It feels like it
:24:58. > :25:02.is turning colder. It is, and it will continue to turn
:25:03. > :25:08.colder over the next few days. Today, weather-wise, in Cumbria
:25:09. > :25:12.things are fairly cloudy and damp, but the snowdrops are thriving on
:25:13. > :25:18.it. Further east, the cloud is more broken which has led to some nice
:25:19. > :25:22.sunset again. The next few days, you will notice things turning colder.
:25:23. > :25:27.Generally dry, but the breeze will make things feel colder still as we
:25:28. > :25:32.head towards the end of the working week. Overnight tonight, a lot of
:25:33. > :25:37.cloud around. It will produce some patchy rain and drizzle, mostly in
:25:38. > :25:41.the West. Eastern areas tending to stay dry, but enough cloud and
:25:42. > :25:50.breeze to keep most cases frost free. The late-night roundabout to
:25:51. > :25:54.or three Celsius, but most places will escape a frost. Any cloud
:25:55. > :25:59.breaks could allow a localised touch of frost, but many of us will remain
:26:00. > :26:04.frost free overnight. A cloudy start to tomorrow, but it should break up.
:26:05. > :26:07.Most places will stay dry and we should see some decent bright spells
:26:08. > :26:13.on and off through the day. It will never be unbroken blue sky, but a
:26:14. > :26:17.bright picture for most of us. A top ten at of eight or nine Celsius, but
:26:18. > :26:20.the wind is quite strong at times coming up from the south, and that
:26:21. > :26:24.will take the edge of the numbers, making it feel colder than those
:26:25. > :26:27.figures suggest. The wind will feature in the weather as we head
:26:28. > :26:38.through tomorrow and into Thursday and the weekend. Lots of isobars on
:26:39. > :26:42.the chart. Things start to turn a bit milder as we head towards the
:26:43. > :26:50.weekend. But it is complicated by thickening cloud and patchy rain
:26:51. > :26:54.towards the weekend. Thursday, a raw feel to things. That south-easterly
:26:55. > :27:00.wind really peddling the chapters back. A lot of cloud around at
:27:01. > :27:05.times. In the East, Tebbutt is only just above freezing. Less cold in
:27:06. > :27:09.the West, but still cold if you are exposed to the breeze. Friday will
:27:10. > :27:18.be a dry, bright day, Tebbutt is slightly up. Dash-macro
:27:19. > :27:23.temperatures. The wind eases the weekend, and daytime temperatures
:27:24. > :27:24.recover. But there will also be patchy rain. We will keep you
:27:25. > :27:36.updated. Friday looks like a day for a
:27:37. > :27:53.bracing walk along the coast. That's it from us tonight. Goodbye.
:27:54. > :27:55.You might get the impression that history is just a record
:27:56. > :28:01.Very often, the line between fact and fiction
:28:02. > :28:08.In this series, I'm exploring how three turning points in our history
:28:09. > :28:22.have been manipulated to become our greatest historical legends.
:28:23. > :28:25.I want to be entertained. Entertain me.
