throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back with the

:00:00.:00:08.

Good evening. We'll have the latest on the bad weather on the way and

:00:09.:00:20.

the sports news in a moment. But first tonight, the former detective

:00:21.:00:23.

who led the investigation into the murder of a Leeds policeman ten

:00:24.:00:26.

years ago, says there should be tougher sentences for anyone caught

:00:27.:00:29.

carrying a firearm. Former Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Gregg

:00:30.:00:31.

made the comments on the tenth anniversary of the death of PC Ian

:00:32.:00:34.

Broadhurst. Here's Spencer Stokes. It was on Boxing Day in 2003 that PC

:00:35.:00:42.

Ian Broadhurst lost his life while on a routine police patrol. He was

:00:43.:00:47.

shot in the chest and head by a former US Marine. He was captured

:00:48.:00:52.

five days later at a guesthouse in Gateshead. He will serve at least 37

:00:53.:00:59.

years in prison. The man who led the hunt said all criminals caught

:01:00.:01:03.

carrying guns should be handed longer prison sentences. He thinks

:01:04.:01:07.

that would reduce the numbers of police officers being shot. One

:01:08.:01:12.

immediate thing that needs to be done is toughening up sentencing for

:01:13.:01:18.

gun crime. At the moment, it is a mandate 35 years in prison for a man

:01:19.:01:22.

who is unlawfully carrying a fire man. If that is doubled to a

:01:23.:01:28.

mandatory ten year sentence, they would serve five years. That is much

:01:29.:01:34.

more realistic and much more of a substantial sentence, which would be

:01:35.:01:39.

returned. Within two years of the killing, the West Yorkshire force

:01:40.:01:46.

lost another officer. At the same time another PC worth injured. Less

:01:47.:01:51.

than a month ago, another e`mail officer was shot in Leeds. She

:01:52.:01:58.

sustained serious injuries. `` female officer. We thought the

:01:59.:02:02.

murder of PC Broadhurst would have been a turning point. I think things

:02:03.:02:08.

have got worse. It is a stark mind about the dangers that police

:02:09.:02:13.

officers are facing every day of the week. `` a stark reminder. A

:02:14.:02:22.

memorial stands where PC Broadhurst was shot a decade ago. Flowers were

:02:23.:02:27.

placed by former colleagues and family members. It shocked the

:02:28.:02:31.

country in 2003 and still has repercussions today. Two people were

:02:32.:02:36.

taken to hospital after a car collided with a house in the

:02:37.:02:39.

Brinsworth area of Rotherham. South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue were

:02:40.:02:42.

called to the house in Rothbury Way in the early hours of Boxing Day

:02:43.:02:46.

morning. One man had to be cut out of the car after he was trapped

:02:47.:02:52.

inside. Thousands of shoppers spent the day bargain hunting at shopping

:02:53.:02:56.

centres and retail parks throughout the region. These were the scenes at

:02:57.:03:02.

Meadowhall. The first shops open at 6am for what is believed to be one

:03:03.:03:05.

of the busiest shopping days of the year. Let's get on to the sport. And

:03:06.:03:15.

we've had a full set of Boxing Day fixtures. Not a great day for our

:03:16.:03:20.

teams. And we'll show you highlights from

:03:21.:03:52.

all of our teams on tonight's late Look North at 10:15pm here on BBC

:03:53.:03:56.

One. And there's a warning of bad weather on the way. Let's get the

:03:57.:04:02.

I hope you have enjoyed the quiet weather today. South`westerly gales

:04:03.:04:11.

will return tomorrow. A touch of frost this evening with one or two

:04:12.:04:16.

icy patches. Heavy rain will sweep in from the south`west overnight.

:04:17.:04:22.

The rain will clear by dawn. Lowest temperatures around about now, down

:04:23.:04:27.

to 0 Celsius. Temperatures rising through the course of the night. The

:04:28.:04:30.

main feature tomorrow will be the strength of the wind. There will be

:04:31.:04:36.

frequent showers in the west and north. The showers will be few and

:04:37.:04:41.

far between. Top temperatures very academic. The weekend looks

:04:42.:04:46.

quieter. Sunshine and a few showers. That is the forecast. If

:04:47.:04:51.

that changes, we will bring you the latest on our bulletin at 10:15pm.

:04:52.:04:56.

You can keep up`to`date on your BBC local radio station. Goodbye.

:04:57.:05:05.
