A report - commissioned by Durham's Police and Crime Commissiondr -

:00:10.:00:12.

highlights a disturbing rise in "survival" sex

:00:13.:00:15.

work here in the North, where women and men need thd cash

:00:16.:00:18.

just to pay for a roof over their heads or to eat.

:00:19.:00:22.

We've been talking to one woman who was a sex worker

:00:23.:00:25.

She became a sex worker aftdr seeing how much a friend earned.

:00:26.:00:30.

I knew what she was making and thought, I could do that,

:00:31.:00:33.

I could come out in half an hour and get what she is making.

:00:34.:00:36.

She was coming out within h`lf an hour, ?100, ?150.

:00:37.:00:52.

I think people don't see what is going on because

:00:53.:00:54.

They don't want to acknowledge that this thing is

:00:55.:00:58.

They'll say, well, she's a prostitute,

:00:59.:01:03.

because she wants to be, she is a slag, she does this,

:01:04.:01:06.

she does that, and sometimes, but it's because you

:01:07.:01:08.

It is their partner making them do it, or because you don't

:01:09.:01:12.

want to see your children shtting crying because they're hungry.

:01:13.:01:15.

In my case, it was because ly partner wouldn't go out and work

:01:16.:01:18.

because he said I could makd more money than he could.

:01:19.:01:21.

It's not going to make monex just to pay for your drug habit.

:01:22.:01:35.

Some of it is, but some people go out and make their money

:01:36.:01:39.

to pay the rent, to keep a roof over their heads,

:01:40.:01:41.

to feed themselves and their family, to feed their children.

:01:42.:01:46.

And some of them do it to stop their boyfriends or husbands

:01:47.:01:50.

beating them and sexually abusing them, mentally abusing them, even.

:01:51.:01:55.

Because that's what happened with me, as well.

:01:56.:01:58.

So sex survival is just really having sex with people, or

:01:59.:02:02.

your partner, or whatever, to keep everything in your life right.

:02:03.:02:16.

Some of them have been doing this all their lives.

:02:17.:02:18.

Some of them haven't had the upbringing I've had.

:02:19.:02:20.

Some of them started off where their dads had

:02:21.:02:25.

abused them or grandads, brothers, and then they

:02:26.:02:27.

thought that this is just normal, that is normal life.

:02:28.:02:30.

And some of the women have only recognised in the past year,

:02:31.:02:33.

whilst we've been doing the research, and in a way,

:02:34.:02:36.

I only realised most of what had been happening to me

:02:37.:02:38.

over the past ten years had been down to sexual exploitation.

:02:39.:02:44.

The charity Changing Lives carried out the research

:02:45.:02:46.

into the sex industry in Durham City and Darlington.

:02:47.:02:49.

And earlier on Look North, its Chief Executive Stephen Bell

:02:50.:02:51.

explained why the research was needed now.

:02:52.:02:55.

I think this is different from the traditional sex work.

:02:56.:02:58.

Firstly, can I just thank the police and crime commissioner for `ctually

:02:59.:03:01.

And I think what's known in the past as prostitution,

:03:02.:03:06.

what we're dealing with now is people who are actually

:03:07.:03:08.

selling their bodies to acttally survive in the world.

:03:09.:03:10.

They're selling their bodies to put a roof over their head or gdt food,

:03:11.:03:14.

but also it is sometimes to fund a drug habit and what goes tnnoticed

:03:15.:03:20.

is that a lot of the people we're working with were forced

:03:21.:03:23.

into prositution at a very xoung age, under the age of ten,

:03:24.:03:26.

An investigation's underway by the Health and Safety Exdcutive

:03:27.:03:33.

into the death of a man at a firm in Darlington.

:03:34.:03:36.

Emergency services were called to the Cleveland Bridge plant

:03:37.:03:40.

after reports of an accident involving a 58-year-old electrician.

:03:41.:03:43.

The Transport Secretary Chrhs Grayling says Heathrow's thhrd

:03:44.:03:50.

runway could transform the North East's economy.

:03:51.:03:53.

On a visit to a Cramlington firm today he said new routes cotld be

:03:54.:03:56.

provided to both Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports

:03:57.:03:59.

boosting the economy of the entire region.

:04:00.:04:02.

But environmental campaigners say Heathrow's expansion will bd

:04:03.:04:06.

"absolutely ruinous" and will take money from vital transport

:04:07.:04:08.

Our news correspondent Mark Denten reports.

:04:09.:04:14.

Newcastle Airport saw over 400, 00 passengers last month.

:04:15.:04:19.

It has one runway but for ydars it's been lobbying for another ahrport

:04:20.:04:23.

The announcement of plans for Heathrow's new runway

:04:24.:04:29.

could mean more connections for our region's airports,

:04:30.:04:32.

just the airport that glimpses an opportunity.

:04:33.:04:38.

This Cramlington firm makes attachments for

:04:39.:04:40.

A bigger Heathrow means potdntially bigger opportunities for thdm.

:04:41.:04:47.

We will be supplying equipmdnt, products that are made here,

:04:48.:04:50.

for the earth-moving machindry and constructing the runway.

:04:51.:04:54.

So the construction process we'll be involved in and benefit frol.

:04:55.:04:57.

Secondly, we are an international business so for ourselves,

:04:58.:05:01.

customers and suppliers, having an easier access into London

:05:02.:05:05.

as the key hub for us, is very important.

:05:06.:05:09.

Today, the Transport Secret`ry paid the firm a visit.

:05:10.:05:12.

He says the Heathrow expanshon could transform our region's economy.

:05:13.:05:17.

This is an area that will definitely benefit.

:05:18.:05:19.

You just have to listen to the businesses here

:05:20.:05:21.

Business leaders in the north-east who have been championing

:05:22.:05:24.

the expansion of Heathrow because they know that it

:05:25.:05:27.

will benefit the whole of the United Kingdom,

:05:28.:05:29.

they know it will benefit this region and its businesses,

:05:30.:05:32.

and I have been very clear hn saying that part

:05:33.:05:34.

of the capacity on this new runway has to be protected so that we have

:05:35.:05:38.

real and better links around the United Kingdom.

:05:39.:05:41.

There's also speculation th`t Durham Tees Valley Airport could

:05:42.:05:49.

The idea of expanding Heathrow has its critics to. It's been ddscribed

:05:50.:05:57.

should be put into local tr`nsport should be put into local tr`nsport

:05:58.:06:01.

projects instead, like expanding the metro. They said it also contradicts

:06:02.:06:06.

Government policies to try `nd reduce climate change. Eithdr way,

:06:07.:06:11.

nothing is going to happen puickly. The earliest is thought a third

:06:12.:06:14.

runway will be built at Heathrow would be 2025.

:06:15.:06:18.

Nurseries in Yorkshire say they re facing financial ruin

:06:19.:06:20.

if Government plans to make them provide 30 hours

:06:21.:06:22.

York is one of eight areas across the country

:06:23.:06:25.

trialling the scheme, where parents can claim 30 hours

:06:26.:06:28.

of free care for three and four year olds -

:06:29.:06:30.

that's double what's on offer elsewhere.

:06:31.:06:32.

The national roll-out starts in September 2017.

:06:33.:06:35.

But nursery bosses say the loney they get doesn't cover costs.

:06:36.:06:40.

The problem for us is we're already in a loss making situation

:06:41.:06:43.

We manage to find a way round that, at the moment.

:06:44.:06:47.

Once you move to September and they double

:06:48.:06:49.

The Government says it is investing a "record ?6 billion" in chhldcare

:06:50.:06:57.

and has boosted the amount that nurseries will receive next year.

:06:58.:07:03.

Strokes can happen to anyone, even children.

:07:04.:07:07.

Emily from Teesside suffered a stroke when she was just ten

:07:08.:07:10.

and she's still recovering four years on.

:07:11.:07:12.

This Saturday will be World Stroke Awareness Day

:07:13.:07:15.

and one of the messages is that anyone can be affected.

:07:16.:07:18.

At nine years old, Emily Silpson was a normal, active child with

:07:19.:07:26.

Less than a year later her relieved smile belies

:07:27.:07:32.

She's just survived not one stroke, but two.

:07:33.:07:39.

The thought that children had strokes, it hadn't

:07:40.:07:41.

I remember when Emily was actually having her stroke,

:07:42.:07:46.

looking at her and thinking, you look as though you're h`ving

:07:47.:07:49.

a stroke, but you can't be, because you are a ten-year-old girl.

:07:50.:07:53.

And Emily is on a long road to recovery.

:07:54.:07:58.

She has only partial use of an arm and one leg.

:07:59.:08:01.

and a role model for some of the 400 children who suffer strokes

:08:02.:08:09.

She won a national award as a child of courage

:08:10.:08:15.

She went down to London and met some famous people.

:08:16.:08:18.

She has been nominated locally for an award as well.

:08:19.:08:23.

So fingers crossed she will get recognised there, as well.

:08:24.:08:27.

Stroke is caused by a heamorrhage or blood clot in the brain.

:08:28.:08:30.

If you notice a fall of one side of the face, slurred speech,

:08:31.:08:36.

or if the person has difficulty raising their arls,

:08:37.:08:40.

Simply put, the faster medical help can be given, the better

:08:41.:08:46.

Emily is one of 900,000 people in the UK living with

:08:47.:08:51.

She is living proof that it can happen to anyone.

:08:52.:09:06.

To football - and manager David Moyes was sent to the stands

:09:07.:09:09.

as the Black Cats were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the fourth

:09:10.:09:13.

Southampon's Sofiane Boufal scored with a stunning long-range

:09:14.:09:15.

strike to secure a place in the quarterfinals.

:09:16.:09:17.

Moyes was dismissed after the referee waved awax

:09:18.:09:19.

Sunderland's appeals for a late penalty.

:09:20.:09:21.
