For the fifth year in a row, a North East health trust | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
has been named the most active in clinical research. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Finding the treatments that can save, or transform, our livds. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Hundreds of people across the North East Cumbria volunteer | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
People like Pascal Johnston, from Sunderland. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
He suffers from Muscular Dystrophy, but is helping Newcastle Hospital's | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
It's one of around 500 clinical trials being run | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
by the Trust this year alone, as Jim Knight reports. | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
14-year-old Pascal suffers from muscular dystrophy, a genetic, | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
life-limiting condition that over time will slowly weaken his muscles. | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
When he heard that there was the possibility of being part | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
of a trial, a pioneering pidce of clinical research that one day | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
may help find a cure, Pascal talked it over with his mum | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
and decided he wanted to do anything he could to help. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
I wasn't too sure what would happen if I had this new drug put hnto me. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
..more about it, so I kind of just thought, well, | :01:11. | :01:27. | |
Pascal's trialling a new colpound which is designed to work | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
like a genetic patch over the missing bits of his DNA. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
It means he has to come into the RVI every week for an infusion | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
and the research teams are constantly monitoring his progress. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Even if at the end of the trial they don't find a cure, at least | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
what they will find is they need to go in a different directhon. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Never think of it as being negative. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
The clinicians and research teams know that without people like Pascal | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
being prepared to put their body on the line like this, | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
new drugs and treatment just wouldn't be found. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
There are drugs that are often quite expensive. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
And therefore we need to demonstrate that it has an impact | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
That is the only way to do it, in a systematic way, to be sure that | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
what we are administering is the right thing to do. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Medical research can often `ppear to move incredibly slowly. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
But, over time, the breakthroughs do eventually come. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Maybe in the years ahead, thousands of fellow | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
muscular dystrophy sufferers all over the world may one day owe | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
a huge debt of gratitude to one boy from Sunderland. | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
It's been one of the region's longest running sagas. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
Hundreds of town centre strdets were earmarked for demolition - | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
And that left the Gresham area of Middlesbrough in limbo. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Now another plan has been unveiled to regenerate the area. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Creating a ready-made film set was never the plan. | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
This is Middlesbrough, the boarded-up streets the backdrop | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
for a riot scene in the TV series George Gently. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
The semi-derelict landscape was ideal for the film makers. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Three years on, much of the area still stands. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
There was no money to pay for demolition work. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
There have been talks with the University who have already | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
invested ?250 million in the campus and are interdsted | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
and I think they're talking to developers. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Getting a master plan together to get the land together | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
There is progress, but here it has been painfully slow. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Middlesbrough Council wanted to knock down 1,500 houses here | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
ten years ago, then came thd recession and the financial crash | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Eight years after that, only a couple of hundred | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Teesside University's ambition for more student housing | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
There are ideas about improvement, but it has either | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
not happened or just been slow, because this is not good. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
I welcome the idea of it being built. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
I think they were built as good stock | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
and they could be renovated and restored and reused. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
And they will have better architectural merit than | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
A future at last perhaps for a place once so derelict it was homd | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
It is always quite eerie down here, because you have got | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
so many empty houses across many different streets. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Over time, in fact, it has got better as they have gradually | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
If it is to be a student village, it does make sense, | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
as the university is only half a mile or so away. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
This is still sometime in the future. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Middlesbrough Council meets to discuss the next step | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
It's emerged that North Cumbria's two main hospitals lost the medical | :05:27. | :05:38. | |
records of patients more th`n 7 0 times in a four-year period. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
As a result, 53 patients at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
and the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven, | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
have had procedures delayed since 2013. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
But the trust which runs the hospitals says the notes | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
were mislaid during a major modernisation programme, | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
which will lead to an improved service as a whole. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Two men have appeared before magistrates in Scarborough, | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
after a 50-year-old man was found dead in the town last Thursday. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Richard Walker was discovered in his flat in Princess Strdet. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
42-year-old Clifford Honeym`n and 39-year-old Andrew Stevenson - | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
both of no fixed address - are accused of his killing. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
One of the world's richest women is to provide money | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
for the massive potash mine that's expected to be built | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
in the North York Moors National Park. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
The Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has said she will put | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
about ?250 million into Sirius Minerals. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
That's the company behind the mine, which would be near Whitby. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
The final part of the development was given planning approval | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
in June, with mining expected to begin in 2021. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
The host towns of next year's Tour de Yorkshire have been unvehled | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Scarborough is included for the third year running | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
and Harrogate will feature for the first time. | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Last year's race was enormously successful - | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
it's hoped 2017's will be even bigger. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Yorkshire's well and truly on the global cycling map. | :07:03. | :07:15. | |
It started with the hosting of the first stage | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
which led to the creation of the Tour De Yorkshire. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Harrogate, a host town of the grand depart | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
will feature in the race for the first time next year. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
It seems that Harrogate is becoming synonymous | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
with bicycle racing, and that has kept going | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
since the Grand Depart, and I think that | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
the Tour de Yorkshire coming to us either for a start or finish | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
We will fill our hotels and guesthouses, we will make sure | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
that our economy is driven by the Tour de Yorkshire. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Harrogate's also hoping to play a major role | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
in another major cycling event in Yorkshire. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
that the county would host the UCI Road World Championships in 201 . | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
We have said all along, we want to be one of the cycling | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
capitals of the world, and Yorkshire has firmly | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
got its identity clearly stated as a big, big cycling place. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
Harrogate has got all of the ingredients to play a big | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
role in the World Championships and I think, if they were able to do | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Meanwhile, Scarborough's also been named as a host town | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
for a start or finish event of the Tour de Yorkshire | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
In 2015, 1.5 million roadside spectators | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
But this year there were two million, | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
and the local economy was boosted by around ?60 million. | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
People have started to plan their holidays around it | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
so we are really excited about it again. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Next year's Tour De Yorkshire takes place at the end of April. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
The other host towns are Bridlington, Tadcaster | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
The exact route will be unveiled in December. | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
In tonight's football, Newcastle are safely through | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
after a 6-0 victory over Preston North End. | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
Preston played most of the game with ten men. | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
See those goals in Look North tomorrow. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Gateshead came from behind to earn a point at Guiseley. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
But York are nine games without a League win now, | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
A lot of half term holiday families are looking | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
I think we can do milder, btt not necessarily sunshine in next couple | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
of days. I will start graphics of days. I will start graphhcs | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
again. Tomorrow will turn milder, of days. I will start graphics | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
again. Tomorrow will turn mhlder, as again. Tomorrow will turn mhlder, as | :09:43. | :09:42. | |
I say. They will come from a I say. They will come from a | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
westerly direction, bringing milder air. We will not have quite so much | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
sunshine as today. As we go through this evening and overnight, the | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
cloud. To spilling from the West. We will see some patchy mist and fog, | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
and perhaps some drizzle in Cumbria by tomorrow morning. Temperatures | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
by tomorrow morning. Temper`tures will be milder than last night, | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
dropping to seven or 8 degrdes. First thing tomorrow morning, there | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
will be a lot of cloud around and some of that drizzly rain, but we | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
will see some sunny spells throughout the afternoon. We | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
will see some sunny spells throughout the afternoon. Wd have a | :10:19. | :10:18. | |
throughout the afternoon. We have a weather front sinking southwards | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
which will bring more in the way of cloud and further outbreaks of rain. | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
A breezy day from the West, and temperatures up to 13 or 14 degrees. | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
Even 15 where we get the sunshine. Into Thursday, we do see a similar | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
picture. We have winds coming from the West, it will bring in a fair | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
amount of cloud again with some spots of rain. We will see some | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
sunshine once again as well. Thursday's temperatures simhlar to | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
Thursday's temperatures similar to today's, 13 or 14 degrees Cdlsius. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
today's, 13 or 14 degrees Celsius. Towards the weekend, it is ` similar | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
picture, but high pressure is in picture, but high pressure is in | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
charge so we lose the strong winds. I will hand | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
week, it's set to be fine and settled and on the mild side. Nick | :11:03. | :11:03. | |
now has all the national weather. Hello. Autumn is the season of | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
change, most noticeably with those autumn colours on display today in | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
Buckinghamshire, as photographed by one of our weather watchers. Always | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
helps when there is blue sky above. Our weather is always changing | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
regardless of the season. One of those changes is taking place, we | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
are losing last week's Easterly winds and now a westerly wind. That | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
means it's turning milder by day and night but it does mean the return of | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Atlantic weather fronts, especially to north-western parts of the UK. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
The reason, high pressure in Germany and low pressure Iceland. Here is | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
the first of those weather fronts for Scotland and Northern Ireland | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
through the night, the first part of tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
of rain associated with this. Could see rain over the hills of northern | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
England and Wales as the night goes on. The odd shower clipping Sussex | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
and Kent. A lot of dry weather for England and Wales. It's mild here, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
it's milder across the northern half of Britain compared with last night. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
But the further south you are the closer to that area of high | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
pressure, and we | :12:07. | :12:07. |
