Good evening. on BBC Two. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Eight out of ten people here in the North want to see longer | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
prison sentences for animal cruelty, according to the RSPCA. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The current maximum sentence is just six months. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
The findings have been welcomed by one MP who's | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
You may find the content at the beginning of Stuart Whincup's | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Filmed on a mobile phone - this footage sparked outrage. | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
Too horrific to broadcast - it shows the Frankish brothers | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
repeatedly throwing their dog down the stairs and stamping on it. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
The dog later died - but remarkably the brothers avoided jail. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
This shocking case led the Redcar MP Anna Turley | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
She wants longer prison sentences for those guilty of animal cruelty. | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
I think it's about sending a message that this is abhorrent and society | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
as a whole rejects this and that they say people who do these kinds | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
of acts have no place in our community and it's important that we | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
send a message out as a deterrent. The current maximum sentence | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
in England for animal cruelty is six months in prison and a fine | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
of up to ?20,000. Now a survey commissioned | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
by the RSPCA shows 8 out of 10 people in the North East want to see | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
the Government introduce longer prison sentences - | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
for the most serious And 59% of those questioned wanted | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
to see sentences in excess of two Last October RSPCA officers | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
discovered a small dog that had been buried alive at Kirkleathem | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
woods near Redcar. It had a five inch nail | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
hammered through its head. While shocking, officers say - | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
such cruelty is not uncommon. Clare Wilson's an officer | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
with the RSPCA. I dealt with a horrible case were | :01:51. | :02:02. | |
some young men were setting and their dogs on badges and dear and | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
foxes in the local area. And they were filming it while they were | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
doing it and I had to review all of that footage and it's unimaginable | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
cruelty that those animals were going through. | :02:17. | :02:17. | |
Everyday the RSPCA says it's oifficers deal with animals | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
who have been stabbed, shot and poisoned. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Some dogs are forced to fight to the death. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Now the charity wants those guilty of such horendous | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
cruelty to be punished with longer prison sentences. | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
More than 100 cars have been clamped on Tyneside over the past two days | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
as the DVLA runs a special operation targeting rogue drivers who haven't | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
And people who've failed to pay for the clamp to be removed | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
within 24 hours have seen their cars removed from the street. | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
If they're not reclaimed, they'll be sold or scrapped. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
This car is not where its owner left it. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Clamping hasn't worked - now the car has been seized | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
and the owner will have to pay two hundred pounds to get it back. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Obviously most people are disgruntled, a lot of people realise | :03:11. | :03:27. | |
that they should have taxed their vehicle. It isn't the first course | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
of action, it's the very last course of action. They will have had these | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
reminders so the message is very important that you keep DVLA | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
up-to-date with your current address so that they don't find themselves | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
in this position. The DVLA enforcement | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
vans are on our streets year round but they've brought | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
in reinforcements for The vans are equipped with Automatic | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
Number Plate Recognition cameras. If a vehicle has not been | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
taxed, the van driver is alerted Last year more than 10,000 motorists | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
in the North East were issued with penalties for non-payment | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
of vehicle tax. A further 1,700 vehicles | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
were clamped or seized. There | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
was a predictable spike in non-payment of vehicle tax | :04:23. | :04:23. | |
after paper tax discs But the DVLA says the payment rate | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
has now returned to the normal level and in 2017 80% of people | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
pay their car tax online rather Three people who were convicted over | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
the death of a Newcastle man with learning difficulties | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
are to have their sentences reviewed James Wheatley was jailed for life | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
in December last year But prosecutors argued | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
that the sentences handed to Wheatley's girlfriend, | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
her mother - and another man - Nicola Lawrence was jailed for 4 | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
years, Julie Mills 8 years and Barry Imray 3 years - | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
for their parts in Lee's murder. A desperate plea for new information | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
has been made by the family of an 83-year-old man who was killed | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
in a hit and run accident as he walked home from visiting | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
his daughter's grave - Charles Trueman died in hospital | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
from his injuries after being hit by a car on Station Road | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
in his hometown of Hexham A Cumbrian charity is hoping locally | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
brewed beer can help raise enough Eden Mencap currently rents | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
a building in Penrith but it can't make improvements to the facilities | :05:35. | :05:47. | |
unless it owns So the group's taken | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
to the brew house to try This is the start of a Hoppy craft | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
beer, the creation of Eden Mencap it's an ale that aims to be more | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
than just refreshing: Vanya Yam is the name of the pier | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
and in our dialect it means almost home. We are almost home because we | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
are buying our own building so it is the key link to having the home. | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Every time you buy our beer you're contributing to the longevity of | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
people with learning disabilities in the area. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
For 30 years Eden Mencap has been helping | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
people learn new skills, make friends and build independent lives. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
The charity specialises in empowering people | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
with learning disabilities - having a permanent base for it's | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
members will make a big difference: Jacqui clip two So far a third | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
It means we always have a home and we always have a permanent base that | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
people come to recognise. It means we can establish lots of more things | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
about moving in the next few years about moving in the next few years | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
and we can evolve projects that meet the impunity needs -- the community | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
needs because we know we have our own home. | :06:58. | :06:58. | |
of the ?200,000 pound asking price has been raised, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
the idea of making more money from beer came from Mencap staff | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
who've helped members get stuck into the brewing process. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
We've been out a few times before Christmas and we've learnt about the | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
back at the building with unable to back at the building with unable to | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
put some photos up and go through the whole process. That'll carry on | :07:21. | :07:32. | |
whilst we are brewing, it means that is a totally no activity for the | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
guys as well and they are learning new skills. | :07:36. | :07:35. | |
As well as the learning there's been plenty | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
We are a small brewery and to have company it is nice in a -- and they | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
are full of joy so it is great to have them around. | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
will be have it's first official supping in March - | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
when raising a glass will hopefully raise enough money to buy | :07:58. | :08:00. | |

Unemployment in the north east fell by a thousand between September | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Meanwhile in Cumbria, 4,430 people claimed job seekers' | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
allowance in December, a very slight rise | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
However, North Yorkshire saw a larger rise of about 240, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
to stand at 4,235 people claiming jobs seekers' allowance. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |

Well Birmingham City have tonight signed Emilio Nsue | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
The news came shortly after Boro confirmed they'd | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
made their former loanee, Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford, | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
And Hartlepool United have this evening appointed the hugely | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
experienced Dave Jones as manager, replacing Craig Hignett | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
who left the struggling League 2 club on Sunday. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
That's all the news and sport from me tonight - | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
time now for the weather with Paul Mooney. | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
Quiet but cloudy weather continuing, we have had a blanket of cloud | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
across most parts of the region over the last couple of days and that | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
continues as we head to the coming night. A lot of clouds with poor | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
visibility in places and the odd spot of light rain or drizzle but | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
most places drive. Another frost free nights, temperatures no lower | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
than five or six. High pressure continues to dominate the weather | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
tomorrow so be another misty start for many of us. 12 breaks and the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
northern parts towards Berwick will see a bit of brightness. Most places | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
drive but pretty cloudy through the day. Temperatures will peak around | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
eight or nine. The winds will remain lights coming mostly from that | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
south-westerly direction. High pressures in charge and will stay in | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
charge over the next couple of days. It looks as though the high will | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
start to shift away to move towards the weekend. It will hang on enough | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
to keep weather fronts to the West through the course of the weekend. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
We head into Friday and it is very little change. A cloudy day, mostly | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
dry, a shade by Friday afternoon, temperatures typically around seven. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
A subtle change as we head into the weekend and we see the cloud become | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
a bit more broken. We start to see a bit more in the way of brightness | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
developing throughout the day but overnight those gaps will allow a | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
touch of frost. Bright of the School of the weekend. The summary for | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
tomorrow and the full National next few days, no great changes over | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
the next few days, more sunshine on the way. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Despite high-pressure sitting across the country so only slow changes in | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
the weather, we have had a variety of different weathers, for example | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
this beautiful sunset in Southampton which was shared by a Weather | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Watcher, but grey and misty in Derby thanks to an awful lot of cloud | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
around and very little deviation by day or night from the rather grey | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
routine. That is because we have a weather | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
front, albeit very weak and very | :11:42. | :11:42. |
