Welcome to Look North. Yorkshire's top stories tonight:

:00:20.:00:24.

Police investigate the suspected murder of a baby in Pontefract.

:00:24.:00:26.

This evening detectives are questioning a man and a woman after

:00:26.:00:34.

a baby girl died in hospital overnight. The focus of the

:00:34.:00:38.

investigation is on this flat. Also making the news this evening.

:00:38.:00:41.

A narrow escape for a party of 10. The birthday balloon flight from

:00:41.:00:45.

York that crashed into 66,000 volt power lines in strong winds.

:00:45.:00:48.

And we meet the girls of steam, all fired up and ready to entertain

:00:48.:00:56.

Chesterfield this weekend. And we look at a salary rather continuing

:00:56.:01:01.

throughout the weekend, we will have the full forecast later in the

:01:01.:01:11.
:01:11.:01:12.

Good evening. Police have launched a murder inquiry after a seven-

:01:12.:01:17.

week-old baby girl died at Pinderfields Hospital overnight.

:01:17.:01:20.

She was taken there yesterday with serious injuries from her home in

:01:20.:01:22.

Pontefract. Our West Yorkshire reporter is in Pontefract this

:01:22.:01:30.

evening. What more can you tell us? The seven-week-old baby was taken

:01:30.:01:35.

by ambulance from this house suffering from what police

:01:35.:01:39.

described as serious injuries. They have confirmed that she died in the

:01:39.:01:45.

early hours of this morning, around 3am. They have not specified

:01:45.:01:49.

precisely what those injuries are. They have said that an 18-year-old

:01:49.:01:53.

woman and a 20-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of

:01:53.:01:57.

murder although police will not confirm what their relationship is

:01:57.:02:06.

to the baby. Inquiries into exactly what happened are ongoing as those

:02:06.:02:09.

people are continuing to be questioned this evening.

:02:09.:02:14.

What has been the reaction in the area?

:02:14.:02:22.

It has been one of disbelief. This is a normal, residential area with

:02:22.:02:26.

a mixture of house is beyond me, most of them in good condition.

:02:26.:02:36.

This is a nice, quiet neighbourhood. People say they are really stunned.

:02:36.:02:43.

One of the neighbours had seen an ambulance pullup and and I don't

:02:43.:02:48.

know if they had be flashing lights or anything. Do you know the

:02:48.:02:51.

people? I have only spoken to them once but

:02:51.:02:55.

they have kept themselves really to themselves.

:02:55.:03:00.

The police are still standing guard outside the property tonight. They

:03:00.:03:04.

say inquiries into what happened are on going to night and no

:03:04.:03:08.

further information is expected but tonight, in this quiet

:03:08.:03:12.

neighbourhood, people are coming to terms with the death of a young

:03:12.:03:14.

girl. A group of balloonists have escaped

:03:15.:03:17.

injury after their hot-air balloon came down on power-lines near Selby

:03:17.:03:21.

this morning. The pilot and his nine passengers had taken off from

:03:21.:03:27.

York racecourse and crashed about an hour into their flight.

:03:27.:03:30.

The balloon company has blamed strong winds as the pilot tried to

:03:30.:03:40.
:03:40.:03:41.

land. An investigation has begun Anything but a safe landing for the

:03:41.:03:47.

passengers on board this so-called pleasure flight. They left your cat

:03:47.:03:51.

have passed seven this morning. The balloon travelled around 20 miles

:03:51.:03:56.

and weather conditions were fair. But the landing did not go quite as

:03:56.:03:59.

planned. I have spoken to the pilot and he

:03:59.:04:03.

tells me he was planning to land the balloon just here by the road

:04:03.:04:10.

but sadly it was not to be and the wind carried them in this direction,

:04:10.:04:14.

missing the fishing pond but hitting the power line.

:04:14.:04:18.

It was just before 9am that the balloon landed here, just a few

:04:18.:04:23.

miles from Selby. This man's of the drama unfold.

:04:24.:04:28.

I saw them landing near the roadside but obviously, it went

:04:28.:04:33.

down just before the rot but then it went up, and it hit a barbed-

:04:33.:04:38.

wire fence near the road, and then it went over the bank and I lost

:04:38.:04:42.

sight of it but they obviously drifted over into the power lines

:04:42.:04:46.

but as you can see, they have been very lucky.

:04:46.:04:52.

The power lines carry 66,000 volts. But the electricity supply would

:04:52.:04:56.

have disconnected as the balloon hit the wire.

:04:56.:05:03.

It is a big job. These lines are 66,000 bolts and it is a long feet

:05:03.:05:09.

from Ferrybridge to Selby. We have that overheads lined dead now. An

:05:09.:05:13.

engineer will out those lines and then they will start to take the

:05:13.:05:17.

balloon away. We body was available for comment

:05:17.:05:21.

from the company that runs the flight but in a statement they said

:05:21.:05:25.

there was an increase in surface winds on landing and that nobody on

:05:25.:05:29.

board was injured. It is not the first time an accident like this

:05:29.:05:34.

has happened. Earlier this week, three people were rescued after

:05:34.:05:39.

their Bolan crashed into power lines. An investigation is now

:05:39.:05:45.

under way. A lucky escape.

:05:45.:05:47.

Coming up on Look North: Embarking on yet another epic bit

:05:47.:05:50.

of fundraising. Jane Tomlinson's family start by pounding the

:05:50.:05:57.

The family of a referee who died just minutes after a football match

:05:57.:06:00.

ended are raising money to buy life-saving machines that can help

:06:00.:06:05.

people having a heart attack. Roger Evans, who was 59 and from

:06:05.:06:07.

Dronfield, collapsed three weeks ago and despite attempts to revive

:06:07.:06:12.

him he died on the pitch. Unlike in the case of the Bolton midfielder

:06:12.:06:18.

Fabrice Muambe, there was no defibrillator on site. Here's our

:06:18.:06:28.
:06:28.:06:32.

I had only seen him on Wednesday morning, told him I loved him and

:06:32.:06:37.

then I got a call on Saturday evening telling me what happened.

:06:37.:06:41.

Roger Evans died from a massive heart attack just moments after

:06:41.:06:46.

blowing the final whistle. His daughter now wants to raise money

:06:46.:06:50.

to provide life-saving the Fairbridge letters to local

:06:50.:06:53.

football grounds in South Yorkshire. We want to make sure people get

:06:53.:07:01.

medical care as soon as they can. It is an issue that has been in the

:07:01.:07:04.

headlines since this Bolton player suffered a cardiac arrest on the

:07:04.:07:09.

field. Expired medics spent six minutes resuscitating him before he

:07:09.:07:14.

was rushed to a hospital, where he is now making a recovery.

:07:14.:07:21.

It showed how important it is to get urgent medical attention.

:07:21.:07:25.

Fred Owen is the regional training manager for St John Ambulance. He

:07:25.:07:30.

says that modern machines that offer step-by-step instructions can

:07:30.:07:34.

be used by anyone and make a big difference.

:07:34.:07:37.

If you employee it straight away, within a couple of minutes, there

:07:37.:07:44.

is an up to 80% chance of survival. My daughter is it you were sold and

:07:44.:07:53.

she can use 80 fibber later. Each unit costs �1,000 and the

:07:53.:07:57.

family are being supported by the local FA who have already pledged

:07:57.:08:04.

eight machines. The difference between these cases

:08:04.:08:08.

was that there was medical aid available at the professional

:08:08.:08:15.

grounds but here there was not. The family now hope to raise enough

:08:15.:08:20.

money to buy the machines that of the grounds and games.

:08:20.:08:24.

He loved it, he really enjoyed working with the small teams and he

:08:24.:08:29.

will be much missed, he was much loved.

:08:29.:08:32.

In other news now and South Yorkshire Police has been told by

:08:32.:08:35.

its governing body that it can keep running its own helicopter for ten

:08:35.:08:38.

hours each day. The decision was discussed at today's police

:08:38.:08:41.

authority meeting where it was also confirmed that the role of

:08:41.:08:44.

community support officers will be enhanced. PCSOs will now become the

:08:44.:08:48.

public's first line of contact with the police. Meanwhile South

:08:48.:08:51.

Yorkshire's helicopter can stay at Sheffield's airbase but it will be

:08:51.:09:00.

used part-time along with the shared regional helicopter.

:09:00.:09:05.

We would have liked to have a helicopter based 24 hours a day in

:09:05.:09:08.

South Yorkshire but given the recent proposal and given that we

:09:08.:09:14.

still have 24-hour cover, albeit that will not be from our local

:09:14.:09:19.

based on some occasions, the chief inspector is advising that from an

:09:19.:09:25.

operational point of view that the balance of this does not increase.

:09:25.:09:29.

A man from Pudsey has been jailed along with three other men for an

:09:29.:09:32.

attempted fraud which involved two people posing as rich Arab sheiks.

:09:32.:09:34.

Mortgage broker Jonathan Flynn was jailed for four-and-a-half years

:09:34.:09:38.

after admitting conspiracy to defraud. The four men pretended to

:09:38.:09:41.

own a �6 million home in an attempt to secure a �1.5 million loan from

:09:41.:09:48.

In other news now, and police have described vandalism of a medieval

:09:48.:09:53.

hospital in York as a disgusting attack on York's heritage. Graffiti

:09:53.:09:56.

has been sprayed and written on a wall of St Leonard's Hospital in

:09:56.:10:06.
:10:06.:10:09.

the museum gardens. Ten years ago to Jane Tomlinson, a mother from

:10:09.:10:13.

Leeds, ran the London Marathon. It was remarkable because she had

:10:13.:10:20.

terminal cancer. Since her death in 2007, her family have continued are

:10:20.:10:24.

bracing work -- her amazing work, raising millions of Pounds for

:10:24.:10:30.

charity. This week, there will be attempting the most ambitious

:10:30.:10:36.

challenge yet. Her doctor has been looking back on her mother's

:10:36.:10:41.

achievements and will be asking how her mum's life changed the way

:10:41.:10:47.

people look at cancer. Ten years ago, I came to what my

:10:47.:10:52.

mum on the London Marathon. It was the start of an incredible journey.

:10:52.:10:56.

It was a journey that swept us all up and I know that what she did it

:10:56.:11:01.

made a difference to other people's lives. People like 25-year-old

:11:01.:11:11.

Gemma, diagnosed with thyroid cancer last summer. Her treatment

:11:11.:11:15.

was the Tomlinson treatment. My doctor tells me to exercise all

:11:15.:11:21.

the time, she is constantly telling me to exercise. Because if you are

:11:21.:11:26.

stronger, I think you can get through it easier.

:11:26.:11:34.

Gemma is not unusual. Last year, research showing the benefits of

:11:34.:11:39.

physical activity beside cancer treatment was published.

:11:39.:11:45.

There have been powerful evidence showing that moderate amount of

:11:45.:11:49.

exercise will reduce the chance of cancer coming back and reduce the

:11:49.:11:58.

chance of developing heart disease, then bones or by ADT's later.

:11:58.:12:08.

Keeping healthy, keeping a positive and changing perceptions was

:12:08.:12:13.

important to my mum. What's will the a far and to raise

:12:13.:12:17.

-- what will the funds are raised to do for this house?

:12:17.:12:22.

We are hoping to make this area a multi- sensory room.

:12:22.:12:27.

Organisations like this respite facility have benefited. It is

:12:27.:12:32.

humbling to see the impact the money has had and it is the reason

:12:32.:12:39.

that carried on. You have to accept this is the path

:12:39.:12:45.

we chose, and it is the path I am choosing to stay on now. I could

:12:45.:12:53.

walk away but I would feel like I was not doing the right thing in

:12:53.:12:57.

terms of June. I just decided, enough is enough.

:12:57.:13:03.

And so, we keeper single and it's as she would have done.

:13:03.:13:09.

Let's find out more about that challenge. They will starts with a

:13:09.:13:15.

Paris marathon, cycle through France, and then get the ferry to

:13:15.:13:21.

Hull, before mounting their bikes again and riding back to London,

:13:21.:13:25.

and then another marathon next weekend.

:13:25.:13:35.

They are incredible. We caught up It is almost as if your mum said

:13:35.:13:39.

the standard by how cancer should be treated. She defied everything.

:13:39.:13:45.

I don't think she ever envisaged it to change people's perception on

:13:45.:13:48.

how you should be dealing with cancer, but I think it was her way

:13:48.:13:53.

of dealing with it, and if it helps other people, and has encouraged

:13:53.:13:59.

other people to take up sport or activity, that is great. We heard

:13:59.:14:05.

the 25-year-old was saying it to her, I am running as much as I can,

:14:05.:14:10.

I am fighting it, do you believe that the sort of sport and the

:14:10.:14:15.

running and cycling is almost like a defiant over cancer, that is what

:14:15.:14:20.

Jane proved? I don't think it was defiance, I did it was her way of

:14:20.:14:24.

defining her life could be that she wasn't a cancer patient, it was

:14:24.:14:32.

part of her life, a small part of her life. She was like, I'm living

:14:32.:14:36.

my life, I'm not defined by it. Let's talk about the training,

:14:36.:14:40.

because you two are very competitive with each other. There

:14:40.:14:43.

is no lot of lost when it comes to getting on a bike or starting to

:14:43.:14:49.

run. -- no love lost. Who is better prepared? That is better prepared

:14:49.:14:57.

than the! I am an awful shape! I haven't run for months, I it no she

:14:57.:15:03.

hasn't done a great deal. We were saying earlier, she had

:15:03.:15:08.

chemotherapy, Jane, we are fit and healthy, we have no excuse. We have

:15:08.:15:16.

to get to the start lines and socket up. We should be drinking

:15:16.:15:25.

water, I said to her, have a beer. That would keep you going! Red wine

:15:25.:15:31.

keeps her going! You have got one major injury. The Iron Lady has

:15:31.:15:39.

gone as well. But she can do it on one leg. She's a professional

:15:39.:15:44.

athlete. You've got a professional athlete, then you have the has-

:15:44.:15:54.
:15:54.:15:55.

beens and never beens, like us. don't think she agrees! I think she

:15:55.:16:02.

is thinking, I speak for yourself, bad! And then have to meet! You are

:16:02.:16:07.

looking forward to this, in a bizarre sort of way? I think you

:16:07.:16:13.

said those words, not meet! I am just looking forward to coming Team

:16:13.:16:18.

Yorkshire next Wednesday morning, and cycling through it. I'm looking

:16:19.:16:23.

forward to getting to Leeds next Wednesday night, and I think the

:16:23.:16:27.

poignant moment for us will be doing the London Marathon, opinions

:16:27.:16:35.

on. I'm waiting for that day, to be perfectly honest. As long as we do

:16:35.:16:40.

Paris and get back over and done with, and get on the bike. And then

:16:40.:16:48.

all the rest. We wish you well. We are constantly amazed, words cannot

:16:49.:16:54.

describe admiration, but I hope those trainers don't give you a

:16:54.:17:02.

blister. Can I help you out of the studio?

:17:02.:17:08.

You don't know what to say. Just an incredible family. They have raised

:17:08.:17:10.

3 million so far, and they keep going.

:17:10.:17:13.

Before 7pm: It's David versus Goliath - can Featherstone relive

:17:13.:17:23.
:17:23.:17:23.

their rugby league glories of old And join me later, I will be

:17:23.:17:28.

reporting from a steam rally in Chesterfield. It is not just this

:17:28.:17:34.

one! On to football, and I hope I won't

:17:34.:17:36.

see Doncaster relegated tomorrow when they play Portsmouth. But it

:17:36.:17:40.

could be a grim weekend for them and Chesterfield, depending on what

:17:40.:17:46.

happens tomorrow. But at the top of League One, the two Sheffield sides

:17:46.:17:49.

are still scrapping for the same automatic promotion spot. Wednesday

:17:49.:17:53.

took the initiative with a win at home to Oldham on Easter Monday.

:17:53.:17:56.

But United put five past Rochdale the following day and are back in

:17:56.:18:05.

second place. Both managers say they're trying to ignore the hype.

:18:05.:18:09.

We are not looking at anybody else. We have got a real focus on

:18:09.:18:13.

ourselves at the moment. Other people will keep looking at the

:18:13.:18:18.

teams around us and giving these scenarios, we can just say, we

:18:18.:18:23.

needed to win. If we do, the rest will look after itself. We feel

:18:23.:18:27.

strong, we know we have to earn the right, nobody is going to give us

:18:27.:18:33.

anything, so we know that Sheffield Wednesday is going to be a big

:18:33.:18:38.

scalp for other teams, so every game we play is like a cup final.

:18:38.:18:43.

We were watching intensely! Good job they didn't catch us out!

:18:43.:18:47.

It's one of the weekends we cherish - the fourth round of the greatest

:18:47.:18:53.

rugby league competition. This is the stage where the Super League

:18:53.:18:56.

clubs join in giving a chance to teams from outside the top

:18:56.:18:58.

competition to claim a valuable scalp.

:18:58.:19:01.

And you cannot do better then the local derby between Featherstone

:19:01.:19:04.

Rovers and Castleford the old "battle of the pits". Ian Bucknell

:19:04.:19:14.
:19:14.:19:16.

The pits around Featherstone used to produce not just coal but heroes

:19:16.:19:20.

of rugby league. This is a true heartland of the sport, and a club

:19:20.:19:24.

with a proud history. In the modern era, Rovers have never made the

:19:24.:19:29.

Super League grade, but passion for the sport runs deep here. This

:19:29.:19:33.

weekend, Featherstone Rovers play Castleford in the Challenge Cup.

:19:33.:19:37.

They have taken the morning off work to prepare for their poor time

:19:37.:19:41.

opponents. It is pretty hard for some of the players, they have

:19:41.:19:45.

quite a demanding job, whereas Castleford will have twice as many

:19:45.:19:50.

weights sessions, it will be a close-knit team, but we probably

:19:50.:19:54.

don't train half as much. We would like to think we are as close knit

:19:54.:20:00.

a team as them and we will give it a shot. Featherstone has a proud

:20:00.:20:04.

pedigree in the Challenge Cup. Their last success was in 1983, but

:20:04.:20:10.

they first won it in 1967, led by inspirational coaching featured in

:20:10.:20:16.

a BBC documentary at the time. coach is famous for his exploits in

:20:16.:20:20.

the 1952 final, went after he rub- down with brandy and rum, he played

:20:20.:20:25.

with pneumonia. They don't make them like him any more, but they do

:20:25.:20:30.

have a distinguished leader. He won the Cup as a Leeds rhinos. He knows

:20:30.:20:36.

what would be League means so much to both clubs. This is a big

:20:36.:20:39.

working-class area, so there has been a lot of pits around this area

:20:39.:20:46.

that have all gone now, and rugby league is a tough sport for tough

:20:46.:20:52.

people. That is the sort of people you have around this area.

:20:52.:20:57.

Featherstone is a club with a proud past about it is hungry for a

:20:57.:21:02.

future in the Superleague. A shock win tomorrow would be a good start,

:21:02.:21:12.
:21:12.:21:25.

a chance that the glory days it And may I say, they don't make

:21:25.:21:28.

commentators like that anymore! And tomorrow's Grand National has a

:21:28.:21:31.

Yorkshire runner that could provide a fairy tale for its owner Peter

:21:31.:21:36.

Nelson. According To Pete was bred by Peter Nelson on a one acre scrap

:21:36.:21:39.

of land next to his garage in Helperby, before moving to Malcolm

:21:39.:21:45.

Jefferson's training yard in Malton. Now with odds at 25-1, he's being

:21:45.:21:53.

tipped for success by some pundits. I have got a couple of pounds on it

:21:53.:21:59.

myself! It is a dream. It is a magnificent achievement. I don't

:21:59.:22:04.

come here expecting to win, I hope we win, but I come here hoping it

:22:04.:22:10.

gets round OK and get home okay. it wins, it would just be

:22:10.:22:16.

unbelievable. I can't even think about it! He is the most fantastic

:22:16.:22:23.

chap. He does a paper round. The local newsagents closed, he says,

:22:23.:22:27.

if the horse went, people have got to go to the garage and pick up

:22:27.:22:30.

their own papers. One of the country's biggest steam

:22:30.:22:33.

events got underway near Chesterfield today. Around 15,000

:22:33.:22:36.

people are expected to visit the Barrow Hill Roundhouse in North
