Good evening and welcome to Look North. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
The grandfather of a four`year`old girl who died when the car she was | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
in was hit by a train on a level crossing near Doncaster says he | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
wants them outlawed. Emma Lifsey was travelling with her grandmother | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
when, dazzled by the sun, they went though a half`barrier and ended up | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
on the tracks of the Doncaster to Gainsborough line. Sarah Corker | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
reports. Emma's favourite teddy bear is at | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
the centre of the Lifsey family's memorial to the four`year`old. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Her grandfather makes frequent visits here, and hopes the tributes | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
can also act as a warning to others. It is a heightened sense of danger. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
I do think it is a dangerous place. Emma's grandmother, Diane Jarrett, | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
was driving her home when her car crashed through the barriers and was | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
hit by a train. She suddenly saw the barrier. She says that she thought, | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
that's too late, that's too late. She didn't see the train. There was | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
this explosion and the car was ripped to bits. An investigation | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
into the accident here found that the glare of the sun that day could | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
have made it difficult for Diane Jarrett to see the warning lights | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and the half`barriers, and that the lights themselves were less than | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
half as bright as they should have been. The accident has raised wider | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
questions about safety at crossings. Things could have been done that may | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
well have stopped this tragedy. Things can be done now to stop other | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
tragedies in the future. That has to be the focus of Network Rail. There | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
are 6,500 level crossings in the UK and, in the past five years, there | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
have been 44 deaths on those crossings. Network Rail say they | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
have invested more than ?100 million to make improvements. Despite this, | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
450 automatic half`barriers are still in place. I would like | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
half`barrier crossings to be outlawed, a thing of the past. | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Proper, full barrier crossings. I think they have got to make them so | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
conspicuous that, whatever the weather conditions, if if it's down, | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
you know it's down. Do you think that will save lives? Yes, I think | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
it will. The 15`year`old boy accused of the | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
murder of Leeds teacher Ann Maguire has been told he could face trial in | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
November. The boy appeared on a video link to Leeds Crown Court this | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
morning. Meanwhile, more relatives of Ann saw for themselves this | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
afternoon the massive array of tributes to her which have built up | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
all week outside the school where she was killed. John Cundy reports. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
A family in mourning. A group of Ann McGuire's relatives, thought to | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
include her two sisters, looked closely at the long line of floral | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
tributes and heartfelt poems posted outside the Corpus Christi College. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Local Labour MP Hilary Benn was also among visitors to the college this | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
afternoon, and there was the warmest of tributes to Ann from a former | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
head teacher at Corpus Christi. It is very clearly the case here | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
that the life of commitment of Ann McGuire is the story. The tragic end | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
her life has taken, the real story is a person that has lived for 41 | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
years in the community and made a real difference, day in, day out. | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
Really cared about people. The 15`year`old boy arrested soon | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
after Ann's murder on Monday made his first appearance at Leeds Crown | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
Court this morning. Meanwhile, police have revealed they arrested a | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
second 15`year`old boy yesterday in connection with their investigation. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
He was later released without charge. | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
Today, Ann McGuire's family saw and took comfort from the many tributes | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
to the much`loved teacher. They surveyed the scenes which have been | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
broadcast this week throughout the world. | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
South Yorkshire Police have described the actions of a young | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
woman who forced children into prostitution as "grotesque". Amanda | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Spencer, from Sheffield, was just 16 when she began befriending | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
vulnerable young girls, enticing them with drugs and alcohol and then | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
effectively selling them for sex. Now 23, she's been found guilty of | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
16 charges relating to child prostitution, and cleared of eight. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
The jury failed to reach verdicts on a further 14 charges. It beggars | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
belief, really, that a young female could actually, in effect, pimp | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
other young vulnerable females for so long for the benefit of money, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
drugs and to curry favour with various people. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
A murder investigation is underway this evening in Huddersfield. The | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
body of a man was found inside a flat on Ashenhurst Rise. A | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
48`year`old man was arrested in suspicion of murder. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Inquests into the deaths of five people who died in a fatal house | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
fire in Sheffield were opened this afternoon. Three children died in | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
the fire ` two brothers and their nine`week`old baby sister. Their | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
aunt and grandmother were also killed. A joint investigation by | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
South Yorkshire Police and South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
into what caused the fire on Wake Road is still ongoing. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
One of the drivers involved in the crash between a mini`bus and a lorry | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
which killed a teenage girl on the M62 has pleaded not guilty to | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
causing her death by dangerous driving. The lorry driver, Kevin | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Ollerhead, from St Helens, denied the charge when he appeared at court | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
today. Beth Jones, from South Elmsall, died in the mini`bus on the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
motorway near Castleford as she and her friends were on their way to a | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
hen party. The mini`bus driver has not yet entered a plea. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
In rugby league, Leeds took on Super League holders, Wigan, tonight. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
There was a minute's silence before the game kicked`off to remember | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Leeds teacher Ann Maguire. The Rhinos dominated throughout and it | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
finished 28`12 to Leeds, who go top of the league. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Finally tonight, an infant school in Sheffield has celebrated its 40th | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
anniversary this week. Pupils marked the celebrations by planting a | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
commemorative tree in the grounds and holding a special party. Almost | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
40 years before that, though, the school appeared on Look North, way | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
back in 1974, in a feature about children's books. | :06:11. | :06:27. | |
The bank holiday weekend does not look too bad, particularly tomorrow. | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
It will get warmer through the weekend, as well. Some spots our | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
already dying around freezing, so in some places it will get down below | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
freezing tonight. This high pressure is going to move off, and the | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
low`pressure replacing it will cause more unstable weather. It will be a | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
dry, clear night to night. I wouldn't be surprised if a few | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
places don't slip below freezing tonight. Tomorrow morning, had cold | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
to the day, but bright. As a go through the day, it will stay | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
largely drive. More cloud will bubble up from the West. The | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
pictures along the coast will be a little bit cooler, but 14 degrees | :07:25. | :07:34. | |
inland. Here is the summary. Good night. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
the Outlook with Nick Miller. Neuer-macro don't worry, this is not | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
the repeat. It is live. This is the forecast you are more likely to see | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
in January than May, but this is a cold night for the time of year. We | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
have got some cloud coming into the West, stopping the temperature going | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
down too far. It may produce light rain later in the night, maybe a | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
rogue shower from patchy cloud in East Anglia. For most, dry, clear, | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
temperatures are on the way down and will end up lower than this in the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
coldest rural spots by morning. -4 in rural Scotland in the coldest | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
moral spots in southern England, so gardeners take note, frost for some | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
of us are begins. What about the rest of the weekend? High pressure | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
is here as it begins. You may think, great, settled weather, it does | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
protect the south and east of the UK but Atlantique weather fronts coming | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
to the north and west, giving some rain at times. First, for tomorrow, | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
it is a fine start. Chilly, a lot of dry weather | :08:38. | :08:38. |
