Good evening. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
A grandfather accused
of killing his stepson in Stockton | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
almost 50 years ago has admitted
smacking and shaking the toddler | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
but says he never intentionally
caused him any harm. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
David Dearlove, who's 71, was giving
evidence at Teesside Crown Court. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
He denies murdering
19-month-old Paul Booth | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
at the family's home in 1968. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Phil Connell reported
from our Tees studio earlier. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
Carol, this is the eighth day
of this murder trial | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
at Teesside Crown Court. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
The jury has already heard
from the prosecution, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
who claim David Dearlove murdered
Paul Booth back in 1968. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
That is 49 years ago
in what was then the family home | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
in Haverton Hill in Stockton. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
The toddler, his stepson,
was just 19 months old at the time | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
and died from, what the jury heard
was, a serious head injury | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
compatible with being thrown
against a fireplace. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
David Dearlove, who is now 71
and who now lives in Great Yarmouth, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
today took to the witness stand
to begin his defence. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
He was asked about a statement
he had given to police 49 years ago | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
following his stepson's death. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
Now, he told the jury how
Paul had banged his head | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
on the fireplace while they had
been playing together. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
He said it was a minor
bump and at the time, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
it seemed perfectly all right. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
He was then asked why he had said
he had shaken the boy | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
and to that he said it was something
that he did, it was | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
a kind of play thing. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
It was just a little shake, he said,
it was something that Paul had | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
always seemed to like. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
He said on the night in question
he heard Paul scream, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
he went up to his bedroom and said
he found him lying | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
on the bedroom floor. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
He said he wasn't breathing
so he forced open his mouth | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and gave him the kiss of life. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Now, at one stage today,
David Dearlove became tearful | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
while giving his evidence and had
to pause for a moment. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
He has denied murder and also
a second charge of child cruelty. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
The trial here continues tomorrow. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Carol. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
In what's believed to be
the first study of its kind, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
foot experts in the North have been
diagnosing serious, often | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
life-threatening heart conditions -
by taking heartbeats | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
from their feet. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
During routine checks,
podiatrists in Durham and Darlington | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
have been detecting irregularities. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
It's hoped their pioneering
project will now be taken | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
on across the country. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Sharon Barbour has
this exclusive report. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
Brian was having his usual
diabetic foot checks. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
A podiatrist was taking his pulse
when she heard a worrying sound. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:45 | |
It is irregular. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
His heartbeat was irregular. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
Brian had no idea that he had
atrial fibrillation, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
which, left untreated,
can lead to a massive | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
and potentially life
threatening stroke. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
It was only found because,
in a pilot study, the podiatrist | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
at Durham and Darlington hospitals
started listening for | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
irregular heartbeats. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
We use a Doppler machine and listen
to the quality of that pulse, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
and while we listen to the quality,
we can also listen to | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
the regularity of that pulse. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Because patients with diabetes can
be more at risk from developing | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
atrial fibrillation. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
And if it goes undiagnosed,
they can end up getting | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
a really severe stroke. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
So, Brian's irregular
heartbeat was picked up | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
by the foot doctors,
by the podiatrists, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
and they quickly brought it
to the attention of cardiologists, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
the heart experts, here at Durham
and Darlington hospitals. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
And the doctors here think
the podiatrists' discovery | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
could save thousands of patients. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
There are something like 150,000
strokes in the UK per year, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
it's said that about 15% of them
are the result of | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
atrial fibrillation. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
So if we can prevent maybe two
thirds, we are talking about 10,000 | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
people a year at the risk of dying
or suffering severe | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
disability that can be help. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
that can be --helped. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
So with a simple screening tool,
we can achieve a lot. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Now detected, Brian's
condition is being closely | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
monitored and treated. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
It was news to me. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
A shock and then the relief that
all I needed to do was take a little | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
pink pill each morning and,
hopefully, that's it. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
My heart is behaving
quite well this morning. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
His life possibly saved
by the podiatrist. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
It's now hoped that this simple,
effective idea will be rolled | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
out across the country. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
Sharon Barbour, BBC Look North. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
A County Durham man convicted of 21
offences against children, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
including three charges of rape,
has had his sentence increased | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
at the Court of Appeal. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
32-year-old Paul Leighton,
from Seaham, was originally jailed | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
for 16 years after he pleaded guilty
to a string of offences | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
in September. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
They included rape, sexual
assaults on girls under 13, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
blackmail and offences
related to grooming. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
His sentence has been
increased to 20 years. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
In cases of domestic violence
the focus of help is obviously | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
on the people suffering the abuse. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
But family pets can
also be affected. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
When women leave a violent
relationship they may move | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
into a refuge which can't
take in animals. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Now a project has launched
in the North East, offering | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
foster carers for dogs. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
Philippa Goymer has the story. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
Gemma suffered three years of abuse
at the hands of her partner. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
He had me pinned at 6am
in the utility room by the throat. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
I couldn't breathe,
I couldn't gasp for air, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
I couldn't shout out
for help, nothing. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
He dug a trowel into the side
of my neck, and I just stood there. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
And then I just looked at him
and I went, "Just do it." | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Because I'd had enough. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
And then he went, "I'll show
you just do it," and he shot me | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
through the side door. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Richard Ridley was jailed in June
for 13.5 years for a string | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
of assaults against Gemma. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Eventually, Gemma was moved
to a women's refuge and Dusty | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
was taken in by the Freedom Project. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
They'd come and collect Dusty,
they'd return him as soon | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
as I wanted Dusty back. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Anything he needed whilst in that
service, they provided. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Dusty went to live with
a foster carer like Susan. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
She's based on Teesside,
but has worked with the Dog's | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Trust's North Yorkshire branch
and cared for many pets | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
from abusive homes. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
The majority of the time, we have
to get the vaccinations up to date. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Which is fine. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:38 | |
If it's come from a domestic
violence background, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
the last thing on the owner's mind
is, "I've got to get | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
the dogs vaccinated." | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
She's probably too worried
about the children, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
the dog and the home life. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
This month, the Freedom Project
launched across the North East. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
Because we're here in Yorkshire,
in the North East, we were getting | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
a lot of calls into our Yorkshire
office, people also needed | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
our help in the area. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
We knew there was a need
for the service up here as well. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
After five months, Gemma was able
to go back for her beloved Dusty. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
I was an absolute bag of nerves,
I thought, "He's not | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
"going to remember me
or recognise me, "is he going | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
to be a OK with me?" | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
I opened the door, and his head
just - I'd say little, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
but you can see it's not -
he tilted his head and looked | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
at me with his ears up,
I said, "Hiya, baby!" | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
And he jumped on me! | 0:07:29 | 0:07:30 | |
He remembered exactly who I was! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |

Look North, Darlington. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
The charismatic former
Sunderland Football Club manager, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Peter Reid has been back
on Wearside today. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
He took over in 1995 and after
saving them from relegation | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
they never looked back. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:47 | |
Now he's written a book
about his time on Wearside, | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
and Jeff Brown met up with him. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
Having taken them to two
seventh-place finishes | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
in the Premier League,
Peter Reid's time at Sunderland | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
is one of the brighter chapters
in the club's recent history, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
hence the number of people who have
turned up here to see him tonight. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Peter, great to see you,
got ask you first of all about one | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
of your successors, Chris Coleman. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
What do you think about it? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Well, I know Chris Cookie
Coleman really well. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Great personality, great enthusiasm,
and I think you need that to lift | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
the Stadium of Light up,
to lift the club up. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
He certainly has
a great personality. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
He has to breathe confidence
into the players somehow, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
because they're not as bad
as the results suggest. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
I think he's the right
man for the job. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
A lot of fans would like to see
yourself back as manager, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
was that ever going to happen? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
No, I don't think so. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
There's a lot of speculation,
a lot of interest in the media. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Not you, Jeff, but in the media. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
It was never going to happen,
and as I said before, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
hopefully they have the right man
in charge, and they surely have. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
You took the club to two
seventh-place finishes | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
in the Premier League,
fantastic achievement. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
How did you do it and could
it ever happen again? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
Well, the players did it. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
We had some good players here, and,
obviously, I was the manager, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
helped them along, but,
yeah, they can do it again. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
If you look at Burnley now,
where they are in the Premiership, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
I think at the time I was Sunderland
manager, they were down in maybe | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
the third or fourth division. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
So it can happen. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
It's hard work getting
the right players in, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
but it can happen without a doubt. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
Let's hope so. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
Peter, good to see you again,
thanks for the memories. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
Cheers, Jeff. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
There's your book. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
Good man. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:33 | |
18 quid. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:34 | |
JEFF LAUGHS | 0:09:34 | 0:09:41 | |
He is like Portal with the weather
calendars. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
Some mild but very wet weather has
moved on. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Some mild but very wet weather has
moved on. Much colder from now over | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
the next few days. A Met Office
warning for ice across Cumbria. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:59 | |
Essentially, it is a dry, clear and
cold night. 12 showers in the | 0:09:59 | 0:10:05 | |
breeze. But clear skies. And that
Rogers will drop down to towards | 0:10:05 | 0:10:11 | |
freezing with ice patches developing
gradually. A cold start tomorrow | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
morning but mostly dry. It stays
mostly dry through the day. 12 | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
showers coming in, where they come
up in the high ground there will be | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
some flakes of snow. But many places
dry and bright throughout the day. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
It certainly won't be warned though,
even with sunshine, you'll be lucky | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
if you have five or six Celsius. The
shared Walmart on the Cumbrian coast | 0:10:33 | 0:10:39 | |
with the wind coming in from the
Irish Sea. Over the next few days, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
we have low pressure up to the
north, high pressure in the south. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
And a north westerly airflow in
between. That will keep things on | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
the chilly side. It also keeps
things mostly dry. Frosty night but | 0:10:51 | 0:10:57 | |
Saturday dry and bright with the odd
shower in the west. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 |
