First tonight, "a sad day" for the National Union of Mineworkers in | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Yorkshire - the words of its former leader Arthur Scargill. He was | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
speaking after being awarded �13,000 in damages, following a | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
legal battle with the union he led, over a range of expenses he claimed | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:26. | ||
he was owed. He sued a trust fund of the Union. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
He is no stranger to legal controversy. Even 10 years after | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
stepping down as President of the miners' union, Arthur Scargill | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
still has a public following. Today's results at Sheffield County | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Court left him in defiant mood. that I have had to bring an action | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
against the National Union of Mineworkers Yorkshire area trustees, | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
but all I was doing was trying to ensure -- enforce a contract of | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
employment, fairly signed in 2002. Mr Scargill led the National Union | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
of Mineworkers for 20 years, but this case centred on what happened | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
after he retired in 2002. He took on a job as a consultant to the | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Yorkshire and Lancashire branches of the Union. The court heard he | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
was being paid the costs of two landline homes -- phones to his | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
home, the cost of a mobile phone and a car allows every two years. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
It was the Union's decision to stop these payments that triggered the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
court case. The judge accepted many of the arguments from Mr Scargill | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
and awarded him �12,000 for the car allowance with another �1,000 | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
because they had been denied union membership for almost a year. But | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
he rejected Mr Scargill's claimed that his land line and mobile phone | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
bills should be paid as well. The National Union is only a fraction | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
of its former size. At the start of the miners' strike in 1984, there | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
were 187,000 union members. These days, there are around 5,000. The | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
union says it is now these members who will be paying the costs of | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
today's hearing. The phone bills that he has been paying for the | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
last eight years, he was not entitled to this. Morally, I don't | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
know whether he will now be looking to pay back the money that he has | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
had for the last eight years. this is not the end of the row. A | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
second court hearing is a scheduled for later this year over a London | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
flat which the union pays for, but which Mr Scargill claims is his to | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
use for the rest of his life. Joining us now is Daily Mirror | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
journalist and Arthur Scargill biographer, Paul Routledge. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
Has he won? It is a pity it is a victory over his union rather than | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
his employer. It is a victory, I suppose, and it means he can laugh | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
all the way to the bank, except perhaps just as rare as the nearest | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
garage. I wonder what a minor coming out of a colliery will make | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
all of this when he watches his. That is the big picture. The | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
miners' union has fewer than 1,500 measures -- members. It has no | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
money coming in. Does it really need this kind of sordid legal | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
action that is milking the whole union of its funds? It has cost so | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
far, I suspect, about �30,000 including costs, and it may cost | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
twice that much and there are two more court cases to come. He said | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
this was a point of principle. always is with Arthur Scargill. He | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
sees the principle as always being on his side. The union thought they | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
had some justice, too, otherwise they would not have defended the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
action in the way that they did. spoke to a few days ago and your | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
advice that both parties should move away from this. I haven't and | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
they are not going to, are they? they are a lot deeper and deeper | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
into this clash which could go on for the rest of this year. What | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
miner now will come out and say they want to join the union because | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
of all of this? They won't. Because they have no power? Why do you want | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
to join a union that is locked in a legal struggle with its former | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
President at, and is not negotiating pay or doing things | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
that it should be doing? You can't have your eye on the main war and | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
keep going back and forth to court does to fight the former President. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
And this will go back to court? They may or may not appeal on this | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
one, but there is another case to come, and then there is the case | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
later in the year about the �1 million flat in the Barbican in | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
London. Thank you for that. Next tonight, a jury has been told | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
that a two-year-old boy died after swallowing a liquid allegedly used | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
to help grow cannabis at his mother's home in Huddersfield. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Lauren Booth has gone on trial denying the wilful ill-treating or | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
neglect of her son Aaron. It is alleged he had not been fed or | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
given a drink since the day before. Our crime correspondent John Cundy | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
reports. Lauren Booth, according to the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
prosecution, had been asleep in bed in the middle of the day when her | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
two-year-old son, without food or drink that day, in November 2010, | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
found the container of a highly corrosive liquid which killed him. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
The prosecution allege that the liquid has been used to help grow | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
cannabis plants at Lauren Booth's home in the Almondbury district of | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Huddersfield. The container had been left out on a landing when | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Aaron found it. His mother was only awoken when she heard a bang coming | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
from the room next door. Aaron was found on the floor, foaming at the | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
mouth, struggling to breathe, and in considerable pain. The court | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
heard that the equivalent of just two teaspoonfuls of the liquid | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
would have been a fatal dose. The prosecution say that the fact that | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Lauren Booth was still in bed after midday at her home here, that Aaron | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
had not had anything to eat or drink since the previous day, and | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
that the poison was left within the boy's reach, amounted to wilful | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
neglect of the child. Lauren Booth denies this. Aaron underwent two | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
major operations at the Leeds General Infirmary, including the | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
removal of his stomach. At first, his condition was stable, but he | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
died a week later. The prosecution said there had been signs that | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
cannabis growing had been going on for months at the house in Norris | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Close, and that Lauren Booth had at least been aware of what was | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
happening, if not having actively participated. She claimed her | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
partner was responsible. The prosecution claimed that Miss Booth | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
had told Aaron's father that she and her partner at the time had | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
been trying to make some money by growing skunk in the house. Lauren | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Booth denies wilfully neglecting her son Aaron, who died just before | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
his third birthday. The trial at Bradford Crown Court | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
is continuing this week. Later on Look North: Meeting the | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
challenges - a fresh start for the charity that helps blind ex- | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
servicemen learn to overcome their disability. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Out of town or city centre - it argument being heard in every high | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
street in our region. Is particularly relevant in York where | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
traders fear the expansion of the Monk's Cross shopping centre. They | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
say that if plans are approved, the city will have as much out of town | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
shopping there as in Meadowhall, and it will kill the city centre. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Supporters say it will deliver growth, jobs, and a new sports | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
stadium. In a moment, we will hear from the council leader, but first, | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
here's Danny Carpenter. York as a city is on the horns of a | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
dilemma. Developers promising growth and jobs want to build out | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
of town. They also promise a community stadium, which is | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
supported by the council. Existing traders say the new development | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
threatens growth and jobs in town. Phil Davies is a retail analyst. He | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
helped launch a Meadowhall. Now he helps councils fix their town | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
centres. We took him for a walk into the city. When there is a | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
recession on, when town centres are struggling to win back businesses, | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
hair salons like this and Lady salons are the ones that tend to | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
pop up quite quickly because they are low cost. You do see a lot of | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
hairdressers in a town centre that is struggling. Hairdressers, estate | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
agents, pawnbrokers, are all, he says, signs of decline. And so are | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
charity shops. It says the city is struggling already. Retailers are | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
nervous, they are moving out and charity shops are moving in. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
combination of the city's existing out-of-town shopping, the recession, | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
and fear over the new proposals is, he says, already having an impact. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
He is adamant that more shops out of town mean less money in town. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Look at what is happening in South Yorkshire, for example, where | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Rotherham was set into decline 20 years ago by the arrival of | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
Meadowhall. It will be a gradual decline. He says the offer of a | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
much cherished committee sports stadium is just a distraction in an | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
important debate. What we need to be talking about is whether the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
retail sustainability of York, or indeed Monk's Cross, is appropriate, | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
and the fact that we introduce into it the offer of a stadium alongside | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
it is a complete red herring. assessment? A city in decline and | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
on the edge - a view completely at odds with the council and | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
developers. That is one quite bleak view, which | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
I put to the leader of City of York council, James Alexander. I would | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
dispute that. Already we have a city centre that is very vibrant. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
We have got the 6th lowest job vacancy rate in the UK, and we | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
already have an Allerford -- element of out-of-town retail. The | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
city centre is still doing relatively well. He says if you | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
look at none retail shops, there are very few shops around when you | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
go down the main street. I think he needs to be take into account the | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
entire offer of York. Also, he is talking down York - it is his job | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
to support in a Town redevelopment. But he needs to look at the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
entirety of York and what is on offer. But the out of town | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
experience will affect the inner- city experience, it is bound to - | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
people just don't have the money. They cannot spend money at Monk's | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
Cross, too, and then spend money in the city centre. This is also about | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
attracting more people into yorking general, not just the existing | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
people shopping here. That development also includes a �10 | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
million revamp of one Marks and Spencer's store. The council is | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
also developing the public realm and doing up the market to further | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
help the city centre. One of the main arguments that shop owners in | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the city centre have is that it is not a level playing field. Parking | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
is high, rates are high, and so on. What can you do to at least say to | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
them you are thinking about this and will do something about it? | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
There are a few things. There is a level playing field because there | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
is a significant football of people wanting to visit York and its | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
assets. The best shopping experience in York is in the city | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
centre. If there was no stadium, none of this would happen, would | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
it? There are two elements to it. Two applications have been put | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
forward, one which is just retail, and the other is retail expansion | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
as part of this development. Both are outside of our normal planning | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
guidelines. I would be surprised if it went forward otherwise. James | :12:45. | :12:49. | |

The inquest into the death of a 13- year-old schoolgirl has been opened | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
and adjourned. Katie died last Wednesday after being stabbed while | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
walking through a park in the town. The second postmortem will take | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
place on Thursday. A 26-year-old has been charged with her murder. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
She is due before Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
The mother of a missing York teenager has made a fresh appeal | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
for help in finding him. 19-year- old Jordan Sullivan was last seen | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
on Tuesday, close to the River Ouse at Naburn. Searches were conducted | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
by the emergency services and volunteers, but have since been | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
called off. Jordan's mother and sister made their appeal at the | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
spot where he disappeared. I am desperately begging you, | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
gorgeous boy, just get in touch. Just let me know you are safe. If | :13:42. | :13:49. | |

Manchester is used by thousands of drivers every day but is often | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
affected by severe weather. Costing �250,000, the snow gate project | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
will also see new signs installed to warn motorists when the route is | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
closed. It will mean the police no longer have to erect temporary road | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
blocks. Some people don't appreciate how also via the weather | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
can be. It also takes manpower to but the gates in place. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |

favourites. But we have got 16 games to go. We have got a talented | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
group of players. We have got to try and make sure we give it our | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
best shot. You look at what they have achieved this season, and lead | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
macro debate fantastic job, they are capable of doing anything. -- | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
Leeds did a fantastic job. They have been very professional. I | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
spoke to them yesterday, they worked extremely hard this morning, | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
and there tried to take God everything we say to them. But they | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
deserve -- but it is not as if it is a job you can just come in. | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
you feel better about what happened at Leeds united? First and foremost, | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
I let them in a better position when I joined them. I still left | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
them the other week in a good position with three points away | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
:19:38. | :19:38. | ||
from the play-offs. Disappointed how it happened. A bit disappointed | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
with some accusations as well. But I have left a bigger lot of dignity. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
I had done what I have done. Disappointed with one or two people, | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
but that is football, I suppose. Maybe you'll be facing them next | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
:20:05. | :20:06. | ||
year? That would be nice. Monique Gladding has continued to impress | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
in London at the World Cup Tester them for the Olympics. The 30-year- | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
old has qualified for the 10 metre event, just a year after hitting a | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
head on a concrete diving board. It is day two of the diving World | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
Cup. This is the London Olympic aquatics centre. So far, the | :20:32. | :20:42. | |
:20:42. | :20:44. | ||
competition has all been at about Shephard's Monique Gladding. -- | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
Sheffield's. Monique Gladding has spent the last year on the comeback | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
trail after suffering a life- threatening head injury. Her | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
performance, to some, has been a surprise - his sixth place finish. | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
A place been the Olympic 10 metre event. And today, she has continued | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
that success, winning a place in tonight's World Cup final, | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
finishing 10th. I am exhausted. I managed to get through. I am | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
delighted to be in the final. When you come here, you are so focused | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
on what you have to do. Algol was toe come in get this far. -- Algol | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
was to come in. What expectation does she have for tonight? I have | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
nothing to lose tonight. A war going there and try and take as | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
much from it as I can. Hopefully come I will use the experience to | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
move forward. A decision will be made in June as to whether Monique | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Gladding will represent Team GB. But her Olympic ambition and | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
ability have been clear for all to see this week. We will be pulling | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
her all the way to the Olympics. What was a favourite childhood toy? | :22:12. | :22:22. | |
No doubt about it, so buteo. Yours? Cabbage Patch dolls, definitely. | :22:22. | :22:31. | |
And the Arab cut kitchen. Third two Yorkshiremen, their chart and | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
passion has become something of a adult obsession. Tony and Michael | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
have spent the last two Madrid is building a model of the Dean Clough | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
Mills in Halifax. To say it is ambitious is an understatement. | :22:48. | :22:57. | |
Cathy has been to Dean Clough. Lego lagers -- lovers, feast your eyes | :22:57. | :23:07. | |
:23:07. | :23:08. | ||
on this. This depicts three Op 15 different buildings. We are in one | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
of the buildings at the moment. Here is what a complex looks like | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
on the outside. If you have been to Halifax, you will know these | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
buildings - it was once home to the world's biggest carpet factory. You | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
can see how faithful the Lego version is to the real one. It does | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
mean the lunatics responsible! Congratulations. Two-and-half years | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
work so far. How long before it is finished? We reckon another two- | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
and- a-half years. Can you keep going along? I enjoy Lego, and | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
:23:59. | :24:01. | ||
always have. So yes, we will keep going! Y Dean Clough? Or it is a | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
wonderful place. It has got the history and architecture. I am | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
struck by the level of detail. Some of the more detailed bids take | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
more time. If you look at the windows, you can do your windows | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
very quickly, bears a more detailed aspect you can spend weeks tried to | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
get it right. Best of luck. You had better crack,, | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:40. | ||
hadn't you? Other plastic building bricks are available! That was | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
:24:50. | :25:03. | ||
Let me show you two pictures that come in. That is the first one. One | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
of the bloodiest battles of all time to place in the 15th century, | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
but a lovely shot. And the second one - the snowdrops are out. A | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
beautiful shot. There is a new blog up there as well. A discussion | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
about the drought affecting eastern areas. Willesborough to Yorkshire? | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
More rain on the way. The reservoirs are full to brimming. | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
Very windy as well. Strong to gale force south-westerly winds. If you | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
follow the isobars, you can see where they are coming from. On | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
Thursday, one or two spots across eastern areas could reach the dizzy | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
heights of 16 Celsius! Right now, there are born out of cloud. Thick | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
enough to produce a drizzle. That it drizzle will continue over the | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
next few hours, across the Pennines, further east, a good deal of dry | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
weather is expected. Know where was seek frost. Close of five or six | :26:20. | :26:30. | |
:26:30. | :26:33. | ||
Celsius. The sun will rise at about 711 am. A dry start across southern | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
and eastern areas, but rain from the word go in the Yorkshire Dales. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
And on and off throughout the cause of the afternoon. It will turn out | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
to be fairly wet and windy at times. Temperatures - above average for | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
the latter stages of February. 13 is possible. More generally, | :27:00. | :27:09. | |
temperatures in the range of 10-top Celsius. Watch out for those strong | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
gusts, especially if you are driving. On Thursday, although the | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
Pennines could be cloudy, the risk of drizzle. Further east, sunny | :27:19. | :27:28. |
