:00:12. > :00:16.An inquest into the deaths of three men at a care home
:00:17. > :00:19.in North Yorkshire has heard that one of those who died was emaciated
:00:20. > :00:24.Albert Pooley died last year at Sowerby House -
:00:25. > :00:31.a care home in Thirsk that's been at the centre of recent controversy.
:00:32. > :00:34.At today's inquest, his wife said prior to his death -
:00:35. > :00:36.she'd raised concerns with staff about his care.
:00:37. > :00:50.Test the inquest heard complaints that she had raised concerns about
:00:51. > :00:57.the levels of care that he'd been receiving. She was seen arriving at
:00:58. > :01:00.the inquest this morning and said she feared he was not being fed
:01:01. > :01:08.properly and not being given enough to drink. She had concerns about him
:01:09. > :01:13.being bathed and showered. We've also heard evidence from a nurse who
:01:14. > :01:18.did one shift here at the home in April of last year. She described
:01:19. > :01:22.how the residents had been left sitting in your grin and one was
:01:23. > :01:29.left having his breakfast with hundreds of ants covering the table.
:01:30. > :01:32.She spoke to me outside. I was horrified, trying to address the
:01:33. > :01:36.problems of that others could deal with it. I spoke to the nurse that I
:01:37. > :01:43.was working alongside. I spoke to the manager but nothing was getting
:01:44. > :01:52.done about these incidents. The home has been the focus of controversial
:01:53. > :01:55.headlines. The death of one resident sparked an investigation whilst last
:01:56. > :02:02.year, the quality of care was strongly criticised. Since then, the
:02:03. > :02:06.owners of the home same mistakes have been corrected and a new
:02:07. > :02:12.management team has been put in place. Acted a's EnQuest we heard
:02:13. > :02:15.from JoAnn King, the foreign manager, as she admitted there were
:02:16. > :02:24.deficiencies in record-keeping because staff did not recognise the
:02:25. > :02:26.importance. She was asked, did you have proper control? She said, I
:02:27. > :02:31.think I tried my very best. A man's been jailed after pointing
:02:32. > :02:34.a fake gun at a young family in a road rage incident
:02:35. > :02:37.on the A1 in Gateshead. 38 year old Craig Mafhan was driving
:02:38. > :02:40.on the Western Bypass last September He pulled alongside the other
:02:41. > :02:45.driver, whose two children were in the car, and pointed
:02:46. > :02:49.what looked like a handgun at him. He was jailed for 27 months
:02:50. > :02:55.after pleading guilty to possession of an imitation firearm with intent
:02:56. > :02:58.to cause fear. An investigation is under way
:02:59. > :03:00.after claims a workman was seen with a can of beer
:03:01. > :03:03.at a demolition site hours He was in the site office
:03:04. > :03:07.of the Odeon demolition on Pilgrim Street in Newcastle
:03:08. > :03:10.on Tuesday morning. Part of the building
:03:11. > :03:13.and scaffolding collapsed Crime has increased
:03:14. > :03:20.and their repeated complaints That's what some people living
:03:21. > :03:24.near two care homes for vulnerable They say the police have been called
:03:25. > :03:30.200 times in nine months. Stockton Council opened the homes
:03:31. > :03:33.so children didn't have to be sent And it says the majority of police
:03:34. > :03:43.calls have nothing to do with crime. In packed public meetings,
:03:44. > :03:46.some claimed the homes would bring crime, vandalism and anti-social
:03:47. > :03:51.behaviour to their quiet villages. Now those same people say
:03:52. > :03:54.they've been proved right. They say the police have recived 119
:03:55. > :04:11.calls about this care home We are hearing about general
:04:12. > :04:18.vandalism, assaults in the home. How can you be sure it came from the
:04:19. > :04:22.home? You reported to the police. You don't get that sort of activity
:04:23. > :04:27.if there is no issues. Before it was opened we had one community police
:04:28. > :04:36.officer. They actually cycled to the village. That is how much there was.
:04:37. > :04:42.People living near the care homes see they received 200 calls about
:04:43. > :04:46.incidents. The figures showed a majority going missing but there
:04:47. > :04:50.were 19 incidents of violence. And 23 reported incidents
:04:51. > :05:02.of criminal damage, nuisance We are anxious that the residents
:05:03. > :05:08.have a quiet life. The new manager starts next week and we want to work
:05:09. > :05:08.alongside him and the existing staff to achieve the best possible
:05:09. > :05:10.outcomes. The homes were set up
:05:11. > :05:12.so vulnerable children would no longer have to be moved to other
:05:13. > :05:15.parts of the country, The aim was to give them
:05:16. > :05:26.a better start in life. Nobody from Stockton council would
:05:27. > :05:32.talk on camera but in a statement they said the homes were rated good
:05:33. > :05:36.and well run but it is not uncommon for police to be called because
:05:37. > :05:41.staff must follow strict guidelines. They must call the police every time
:05:42. > :05:43.a child or young person does not come home one time and they say that
:05:44. > :05:50.is the reason for these lease call-outs. The council says these
:05:51. > :05:51.are not bad children and should not be demonised but what they need is
:05:52. > :06:05.support from local people. The Workington Lifeboat team have
:06:06. > :06:07.taken delivery of a new, The Shannon class boat is called
:06:08. > :06:11.the Dorothy May White - after the woman who left a million
:06:12. > :06:14.pounds to the RNLI in her will. Mark McAlindon joined
:06:15. > :06:18.the fanfare for her arrival. Flat out at 25 knots,
:06:19. > :06:21.the Dorothy May White is a speedier successor to the John Fisher she has
:06:22. > :06:28.come to replace in Workington. She's more deft too,
:06:29. > :06:44.and at a cost of ?2.1m, It is like going from a Ford Cortina
:06:45. > :06:51.to a Ferrari. Everything is controlled with electronics, it has
:06:52. > :06:57.jets instead of propellers. The current lifeboat does 16 knots. This
:06:58. > :07:06.is a tough business, saving lives at sea. It shows how brave these guys
:07:07. > :07:14.are that when they head out to sea, this environment can be quite
:07:15. > :07:21.forbidding. This is one example. 30 miles to safety.
:07:22. > :07:25.The new boat will mean getting to incidents much quicker.
:07:26. > :07:36.Technology has moved on. This is at the edge of cutting-edge technology.
:07:37. > :07:40.This boat's capabilities at sea, it is wonderful. It will serve us for
:07:41. > :07:43.many years to come. But there is no statutory
:07:44. > :07:45.support for these brave The late Dorothy May left
:07:46. > :07:50.a million to the RNLI, while a trust stumped up ?500,000
:07:51. > :08:01.for this new vessel. We've had some very generous
:08:02. > :08:05.bequests and the support from the local community has been absolutely
:08:06. > :08:08.phenomenal. We've been really grateful for everybody's help and it
:08:09. > :08:09.looks as though we will be there very shortly. I'm very happy indeed
:08:10. > :08:11.about it. The John Fisher will now go
:08:12. > :08:14.into some form of retirement - while Dorothy May White will be
:08:15. > :08:16.keeping the shores Rare Roman artefacts are being put
:08:17. > :08:23.on display at museums along the length of Hadrian's Wall as part
:08:24. > :08:26.of an exhibition which launches This Ribchester-style Helmet,
:08:27. > :08:30.which was delivered to Newcastle's Hancock Museum today,
:08:31. > :08:37.is on loan from the British Museum. Other artefacts which celebrate
:08:38. > :08:42.the role of the Roman Cavalry will be on show at Museums
:08:43. > :08:44.from Maryport to South Shields Football now - and there were big
:08:45. > :08:49.games tonight at the top of the Championship and bottom
:08:50. > :08:51.of the Premier League. But Match of the Day is on just
:08:52. > :08:54.after this bulletin - so if you don't want to know
:08:55. > :08:57.the scores you know what to do. Hull City came from behind to earn
:08:58. > :09:00.a crucial victory against relegation The 4-2 result leaves
:09:01. > :09:09.Boro 19th in the table. Meanwhile, Newcastle
:09:10. > :09:12.overhauled Brighton at the top of the Championship with a 1-0
:09:13. > :09:15.victory against Burton, which a controversial refereeing
:09:16. > :09:17.decision threatened to overshadow. That's all the news
:09:18. > :09:19.and sport from me tonight. Time for the weather
:09:20. > :09:35.now with Paul Mooney. Mostly dry sums up the weather in
:09:36. > :09:40.the past few days. A mixture of cloudy areas and clear skies. It is
:09:41. > :09:48.and pieces of code will come and go. It will hold this up. No lower than
:09:49. > :09:54.six or seven in the countryside, a couple of degrees colder. It is
:09:55. > :10:03.bright in eastern areas, some of that will fill in. The best of any
:10:04. > :10:12.sunny spells lingering across parts of Northumberland. Tomorrow, that is
:10:13. > :10:19.mid-50s. Similar to the sort of figures we had. This area of high
:10:20. > :10:26.pressure dominating. It stays with us as we head towards the weekend.
:10:27. > :10:29.There is a change in wind direction from the north-westerly to more of a
:10:30. > :10:35.south-westerly or even a southerly as we head into the weekend. That
:10:36. > :10:40.will bring a few subtle changes. For Friday it is mostly dry but cloudy.
:10:41. > :10:47.The temperatures will make 12 or 13 Celsius and the wind will drift in
:10:48. > :10:50.from that westerly direction. We will see the cloud become more
:10:51. > :10:54.broken. In southern areas we will see blue skies and sunshine. The
:10:55. > :11:00.temperature will start to claims that by Sunday afternoon, 18 Celsius
:11:01. > :11:01.is possible. That is the way it is looking.
:11:02. > :11:04.or 15. It is sunny towards the weekend and we could see the low 20s
:11:05. > :11:06.by Sunday. Here
