one of his daughter's friends. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

:00:00.:00:00.

so it's goodbye Screening for newborns will now be

:00:00.:00:17.

rolled out across the country. We'll be talking to the professor behind

:00:18.:00:19.

the breakthrough. Also tonight... Pensioner power.

:00:20.:00:23.

Campaigners claim a victory in their fight to keep free travel passes in

:00:24.:00:27.

South Yorkshire. A taste of things to come in Yorkshire? Cycling's

:00:28.:00:33.

superstars line up in Belfast for the biggest race ahead of the Tour

:00:34.:00:36.

de France. And in sport it's a big weekend for

:00:37.:00:39.

Rotherham United and York City as they start their campaigns in the

:00:40.:00:45.

football league playoffs. Some unsettled weather to come over

:00:46.:00:50.

the weekend. There will be heavy, thundery showers. I'll be back later

:00:51.:01:00.

with the weather forecast. Good evening ` and welcome to

:01:01.:01:06.

Friday's Look North. Tonight, every newborn baby in the country will be

:01:07.:01:10.

safer, thanks to pioneering research carried out at Sheffield Children's

:01:11.:01:12.

hospital. Routine testing for four genetic disorders is being rolled

:01:13.:01:14.

out nationwide. At the moment babies have a

:01:15.:01:17.

heel`prick test for five conditions when they are just a few days old.

:01:18.:01:22.

But they will now be tested for four more. An early diagnosis of a

:01:23.:01:25.

problem, means they can be treated, which in some cases won't just

:01:26.:01:28.

improve lives, it will save them. Tom Ingall has the story. Are you

:01:29.:01:33.

mending it? What's wrong with it? The clutch. Oh, no. That was an easy

:01:34.:01:39.

job. Like many seven`year`old boys, Xander Tattersall from Barnsley

:01:40.:01:42.

loves cars, but he has had a challenging start to life. He has

:01:43.:01:44.

experienced learning and behavioural problems. It turns out both he and

:01:45.:01:48.

his younger brother had an undiagnosed genetic condition which

:01:49.:01:51.

affected their development. Now that has changed and the family have been

:01:52.:01:55.

able to alter their diet and lifestyle, and the outlook is much

:01:56.:01:58.

brighter. I feel like there have been a lot of battles that could

:01:59.:02:01.

have been avoided. The children have statements of special educational

:02:02.:02:06.

needs. They might still have needed those statements, but it would have

:02:07.:02:09.

been much easier if we had had the diagnosis to start with. The heel

:02:10.:02:15.

prick test. Something forgotten by most parents as routine. It tests

:02:16.:02:21.

for five conditions. The results end up at screening centres like this

:02:22.:02:24.

one at the Sheffield Children's Hospital. Thanks to their recent

:02:25.:02:28.

pioneering pilot, the heel prick will now test for an additional four

:02:29.:02:31.

conditions, with the potential of offering vital early diagnosis. We

:02:32.:02:38.

have identified as part of this study, which has now been going on

:02:39.:02:42.

since the middle of July 2012, we have identified 20 children and

:02:43.:02:45.

their lives have been completely revolutionised. Some of them would

:02:46.:02:48.

have died if they had not been diagnosed. Will this relatively

:02:49.:02:56.

simple change save lives? Yes. Without a doubt. It will be amazing

:02:57.:03:03.

to get that diagnosis from the beginning, because the symptoms

:03:04.:03:06.

won't begin ` they won't have the symptoms, they won't develop

:03:07.:03:16.

symptoms. Xander and his brother, in fact the whole family, have had

:03:17.:03:19.

their lives changed by the diagnosis. Now generations into the

:03:20.:03:21.

future are being offered similar hope. Tom Ingall, BBC Look North,

:03:22.:03:28.

Barnsley. Next tonight. Campaigners fighting

:03:29.:03:32.

to keep their free travel passes in South Yorkshire are claiming a

:03:33.:03:35.

partial victory tonight. The county's transport authority

:03:36.:03:38.

decided to withdraw free train travel passes for pensioners and

:03:39.:03:40.

disabled people back in April, blaming government cuts. Since then,

:03:41.:03:49.

there have been weeks of protests. But today the authority said it had

:03:50.:03:52.

changed its mind, and campaigners say it's been a victory for

:03:53.:03:55.

pensioner power as James Vincent reports.

:03:56.:04:05.

You don't mess with people 's travel cards. Just two days ago, people

:04:06.:04:11.

besieged the interchange and the passage of executive told us there

:04:12.:04:14.

were no plans to change its cuts to concessionary fares full is top but

:04:15.:04:18.

now the Freedom Riders are claiming a victory. We are really pleased

:04:19.:04:24.

that our protests have made this difference. We were told it would

:04:25.:04:31.

make no difference. Our local MPs said our protests were stopping a

:04:32.:04:36.

deal being made. What we have done by getting huge numbers of people

:04:37.:04:40.

out for testing is to make the passenger transport executive and

:04:41.:04:43.

the local councils come to an agreement, which is a victory, but

:04:44.:04:59.

only a partial bit dizzy so far. Under proposals, disabled people

:05:00.:05:13.

would get half`price travel. If everybody else has problems with

:05:14.:05:16.

their bus pass and have to get their early in the morning, everybody is

:05:17.:05:27.

in the clinic. The decision has to be made on the 19th of May, just

:05:28.:05:31.

three days before the local and European elections. Campaigning will

:05:32.:05:35.

be weighing heavily on politicians' lives. Did they take on the wrong

:05:36.:05:43.

people? I think they did. There is a lesson for everyone, that processing

:05:44.:05:47.

does have an effect. The transport executive saying that the changes

:05:48.:05:53.

are nothing to do with the protests, but because community groups told

:05:54.:05:58.

them it was a bad idea. Well, we did ask to speak to the

:05:59.:06:01.

South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, but were told they were

:06:02.:06:04.

not available. But you've been letting us know what you think about

:06:05.:06:08.

this instead. Daniel Dalton got in touch on Facebook to say: "I think

:06:09.:06:11.

free travel on the trains and buses for the elderly and disabled should

:06:12.:06:15.

never have been stopped at all." But Jessica tweeted to say: "What a

:06:16.:06:19.

farce. This will cost the tax payer no end, and is unnecessary. South

:06:20.:06:21.

Yorkshire Passenger Transport should have stood their ground and not

:06:22.:06:25.

given in." Your views are always welcome ` here's a reminder of how

:06:38.:06:40.

From the Dales dairy to the international food market. They've

:06:41.:06:43.

been making this product in Hawes for over a hundred years. And now

:06:44.:06:47.

there's a big push to get it onto the tables of gourmets abroad.

:06:48.:06:55.

The Morley MP and Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls says he accepts that he'll

:06:56.:06:59.

be charged after failing to report an accident. Writing in his blog he

:07:00.:07:02.

says he knows he'll be getting points on his licence after hitting

:07:03.:07:06.

a parked car while manoeuvring but insists he contacted the owner of

:07:07.:07:09.

the other vehicle as soon as he found out it had been damaged. He

:07:10.:07:13.

said getting the points would be "a blow."

:07:14.:07:18.

South Yorkshire Police say they'll have over a 1,000 officers on duty

:07:19.:07:21.

in Rotherham tomorrow as rival demonstrations take place by the

:07:22.:07:23.

English Defence League and anti`fascist groups. Some businesses

:07:24.:07:26.

in the town centre say they'll be closing early. The police will have

:07:27.:07:32.

to pay an overtime bill of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

:07:33.:07:37.

A group of MPs has criticised the management and governance of a

:07:38.:07:39.

number of free schools, including Kings Science Academy in Bradford.

:07:40.:07:42.

The Public Accounts Committee says too much taxpayers' money has been

:07:43.:07:45.

spent on the schools without proper checks on where it's going. The

:07:46.:07:50.

Kings Science Academy has had a number of problems including the

:07:51.:07:53.

mishandling of tens of thousands of pounds in funding. Its principal was

:07:54.:07:56.

arrested earlier this year on suspicion of fraud.

:07:57.:08:02.

Morrisons have announced they're to cut around 100 jobs from their

:08:03.:08:06.

Wakefield distribution site. A spokesman for the supermarket says

:08:07.:08:10.

it's part of a bid to improve efficiency. The Bradford based

:08:11.:08:13.

company has been battling to bring back customers and yesterday

:08:14.:08:16.

announced an unprecedented drop in sales of 7.1%.

:08:17.:08:21.

Police investigating the disappearance of a Bradford woman

:08:22.:08:25.

have released a CCTV image of her on the day she went missing. Anita

:08:26.:08:28.

Racz, who's originally from Hungary, was last seen leaving home for work

:08:29.:08:32.

more than a week ago. She's thought to have got on the free city bus,

:08:33.:08:35.

but there've been no further sightings of her. Police say they

:08:36.:08:38.

are extremely concerned and have urged anyone who's seen Anita to get

:08:39.:08:48.

in touch. A Wensleydale cheesemaker is

:08:49.:08:51.

undergoing a massive investment that will double production at its Hawes

:08:52.:08:54.

creamery, and see millions of pounds pumped into the local economy.

:08:55.:08:57.

Wensleydale Dairy Products ` which faced closure 20 years ago ` is

:08:58.:09:00.

spending ?5 million to expand the business and to boost exports. Ian

:09:01.:09:12.

Reeve reports. They have made cheese in Hawes since

:09:13.:09:18.

1897. Its manufacture never changing down the years. We are about to

:09:19.:09:24.

witness the birth of the cheese, Wensleydale cheese. The creamery

:09:25.:09:36.

here is standing still. The plan is to double production and turnout

:09:37.:09:43.

6000 tonnes of cheese a year. ?5 million is being invested in a new

:09:44.:09:49.

extension. There is a growing sophistication in consumers, who

:09:50.:09:58.

demand an authentic product. About ?25 million will be pumped into the

:09:59.:10:01.

local economy when the creamery expands. 230,000 visitors come here

:10:02.:10:11.

each year. For Richard, it is a business that is unrecognisable

:10:12.:10:14.

since he started the year 15 years ago. The landscape is always

:10:15.:10:20.

changing, it will just grow and grow, I can't see any reason why it

:10:21.:10:24.

shouldn't go from strength to strength. That is good news for

:10:25.:10:29.

Matthew, just one of the local farmers who sell their milk to the

:10:30.:10:37.

creamery, thankful that he can. I think the majority of producers

:10:38.:10:40.

would be getting a lower price and probably it would make it

:10:41.:10:44.

unsustainable, they wouldn't be able to continue in milk production. Soon

:10:45.:10:50.

the creamery will be needing more milk, more cheese will be made and

:10:51.:10:57.

the big push to export it, getting the Wensleydale name and brand known

:10:58.:11:02.

worldwide. Billy Sharp's football career has

:11:03.:11:05.

been glorious. There have been goals from Southampton to Doncaster. But

:11:06.:11:08.

the loss of his son in October 2011 shattered him and his partner Jade.

:11:09.:11:12.

That's why he's determined to raise funds to combat the illness

:11:13.:11:15.

gastroschisis, which robbed them of their son. This weekend at his old

:11:16.:11:18.

Sunday league football club Middlewood Rovers in Sheffield he's

:11:19.:11:21.

organising two tournaments. And he's hoping for a lot of support. I went

:11:22.:11:26.

to see him earlier today. The day Billy and his partner Jade

:11:27.:11:29.

lost their son shattered their lives, but for Billy at least, he

:11:30.:11:34.

had football to turn to for help. I didn't know what to do for days

:11:35.:11:38.

afterwards, and it came into my mind, and out of the blue, I called

:11:39.:11:42.

the manager up at the time and asked him if I could play. He was

:11:43.:11:50.

delighted. He said, that's brilliant. It went from there, it is

:11:51.:11:57.

probably the best thing I could have done. No one will ever forget this

:11:58.:12:02.

moment. Billy scoring a goal and giving his own tribute to Luey. I

:12:03.:12:10.

can't remember much after the goal. I remember wanting to go down the

:12:11.:12:14.

tunnel and saying, that's it, I've done what I want to do. The result

:12:15.:12:18.

didn't go for us that night, but it will be with me for ever, that goal.

:12:19.:12:23.

That is why he is putting on two football tournaments this weekend at

:12:24.:12:26.

his old Sunday football club, and these are the trophies. It is called

:12:27.:12:30.

the LJS Cup, and it is over two days. Tomorrow, we have the

:12:31.:12:34.

under`18s. On Sunday we have the under`11s. The top two will go into

:12:35.:12:43.

the semifinal and final. The aim ultimately is to raise ?60,000 for

:12:44.:12:46.

the charity. Nobody would begrudge him that goal. We have people doing

:12:47.:12:51.

marathons, golf days, you name it, they are asking to do a lot of

:12:52.:12:55.

things. We are overwhelmed by it. It is making the charity a lot better

:12:56.:12:59.

and we can't thank people enough for that.

:13:00.:13:10.

Before seven o'clock. It's getting really exciting for the

:13:11.:13:14.

Millers. Could manager Steve Evans get chance to celebrate once more as

:13:15.:13:18.

Rotherham United take on Preston this weekend?

:13:19.:13:22.

And we find out how North Yorkshire is getting ready, set and go ` for

:13:23.:13:39.

the world's biggest cycle race. The Leeds Rhinos got the better of

:13:40.:13:42.

Castleford in Super League, but their coach, Brian McDermott, said

:13:43.:13:45.

it was their toughest game of the season so far. In the first half it

:13:46.:13:49.

was almost honours even with Cas going in at the half time break with

:13:50.:13:54.

a narrow lead, 14 points to 12. Marc Sneed with their second try. But

:13:55.:13:57.

Leeds pulled ahead after the break and there were two tries a piece for

:13:58.:14:01.

Ben Jones`Bishop and Kallum Watkins. The final score was 22`14 to the

:14:02.:14:05.

Rhinos who are three points clear at the top of the table. Rotherham

:14:06.:14:09.

United start their final push for promotion tomorrow. The Millers have

:14:10.:14:13.

surpassed expectations to make it into the League One play`offs `

:14:14.:14:16.

within touching distance of the Championship. They take on Preston

:14:17.:14:20.

in the first of a two`legged semi final. Our reporter Ian Bucknell has

:14:21.:14:25.

met the man who's making the Millers' dreams come true.

:14:26.:14:35.

Rotherham United have a lot to smile about. They are just three games

:14:36.:14:39.

away from winning a place in the championship . Full the man who has

:14:40.:14:51.

masterminded their assent is manager Steve Evans. We have worked hard for

:14:52.:15:00.

it all year. It will be a magical promotion, because I have spoken to

:15:01.:15:06.

a lot of managers who have been promoted through the play`offs as

:15:07.:15:10.

well as being automatically promoted, and they said if they had

:15:11.:15:13.

a choice, it would be through the play`offs. Character and talent is

:15:14.:15:43.

there in abundance. They are a top`class side, Preston. They have

:15:44.:15:50.

an abundance of talent. We probably feel that they are the strongest

:15:51.:15:56.

side in terms of physicality, so we have the greatest respect. I came to

:15:57.:16:01.

Rotherham with the point to prove. There have been some great managers.

:16:02.:16:08.

And they all failed. It is a big incentive to make it happen. I

:16:09.:16:15.

believe in our group, I believe in the spirit within the group. You can

:16:16.:16:21.

see the talent in the group, we have an abundance of talent. If we play

:16:22.:16:25.

at our best, I think we can win, but we have to be at our best. And what

:16:26.:16:30.

a season York City have had in League Two! After finishing seventh

:16:31.:16:34.

in the table, City now go into a playoff semifinal against Fleetwood,

:16:35.:16:36.

starting at home tomorrow night. Manager Nigel Worthington is as

:16:37.:16:39.

excited as any fan about the prospect of Wembley, and what might

:16:40.:16:43.

lie ahead. But he's pretty down to earth at the same time.

:16:44.:16:50.

I am not sure that we are ready for early one, but in saying that,

:16:51.:16:57.

either any clubs ready for the championship, probably not. I would

:16:58.:17:03.

turn the opportunity down. We have put ourselves in a fantastic as

:17:04.:17:07.

ocean. They will give it everything we have got. I hope people get ready

:17:08.:17:16.

soon. And in Rugby Union Leeds Carnegie and Rotherham Titans also

:17:17.:17:18.

start their playoff campaigns. The RFU have confirmed today that

:17:19.:17:21.

Rotherham will play their matches at Oakwell, the home of Barnsley, if

:17:22.:17:24.

they get promoted to the premiership.

:17:25.:17:37.

What will you do when the footballers or break? I don't want

:17:38.:17:45.

getting bored. `` I don't want you getting bored.

:17:46.:17:48.

Now, Yorkshire isn't the only part of the UK with a fancy foreign bike

:17:49.:17:51.

ride to boast about. Cycling's second biggest bike race, the Giro

:17:52.:17:54.

d'Italia, has begun in Belfast. For Rotherham's Ben Swift, who is

:17:55.:17:58.

part of the Sky Team, it's a chance to shine ` and also a preview of

:17:59.:18:02.

what Yorkshire will be like when the Tour de France comes here this

:18:03.:18:05.

summer. Our Tour de France Correspondent, Matt Slater, is in

:18:06.:18:08.

Belfast, soaking up the Italian atmosphere. Matt, how excited are

:18:09.:18:16.

the crowds? The crowd are very, very excited.

:18:17.:18:23.

Our colour scheme will not be pink, it will be yellow, but I'm in a part

:18:24.:18:28.

of Belfast used the grand enterprises. They built and launched

:18:29.:18:33.

the Titanic here and people have been throwing themselves into the

:18:34.:18:37.

big start, three weeks of racing that started about an hour ago,

:18:38.:18:44.

heading to Milan. I have been in the city for the last couple of days to

:18:45.:18:48.

find out how they prepared for this and what they hope to achieve. The

:18:49.:18:55.

answers have been illuminating. This island is usually known for its

:18:56.:19:02.

emerald tone, but not this week, this week, everything has gone pink.

:19:03.:19:08.

The bikes, the drums, even the cricketers, because Belfast is

:19:09.:19:13.

hosting the first stage of the Giro d'Italia, where everything is pink.

:19:14.:19:20.

Everywhere we go, we seek pink bikes, something pink everywhere.

:19:21.:19:24.

The Giro d'Italia is one of the biggest races in the world 's and it

:19:25.:19:31.

is good for us, it is different. I have come to Belfast to see how a

:19:32.:19:35.

British city response to one of these big bike racers. The evidence

:19:36.:19:42.

is that the country likes them and nobody is interested in my

:19:43.:19:45.

suggestion that this is a dress rehearsal for our big race. Bradley

:19:46.:19:52.

Wiggins is going to be reaching that he never got the pink jersey. I

:19:53.:20:02.

think it is about culture, the Giro d'Italia has a greater culture to it

:20:03.:20:06.

and it fits in with the party city of Belfast. We have a little bit

:20:07.:20:11.

more class about us. There is a great atmosphere. Everyone is having

:20:12.:20:17.

a great time. Northern Ireland wants the same things from the Giro

:20:18.:20:21.

d'Italia but Yorkshire wants from the Tour de France. Drama and

:20:22.:20:34.

passion. The global coverage will be about 75 countries around the

:20:35.:20:38.

world, suffered two days and showcasing Northern Ireland on the

:20:39.:20:40.

world, suffered two days and showcasing Northern Ireland and the

:20:41.:20:43.

island on a global scale in particular delivers that in spades.

:20:44.:20:49.

Until recently, if you would only have seen this much pink in Belfast

:20:50.:20:55.

after a sunny bank holiday, but it is amazing how colour can write in

:20:56.:21:00.

your Outlook. Everyone has embraced their feminine side and gone very

:21:01.:21:04.

pink. Regardless of what you think about

:21:05.:21:07.

the merits of their race or our race, I think pink is a more

:21:08.:21:15.

flattering colour yellow. There has been a huge crowds all day. One of

:21:16.:21:20.

the things I have been hearing today is how nice it is to talk about a

:21:21.:21:27.

colour other than orange or green. Yorkshire does not have that

:21:28.:21:31.

particular headache, but what impresses me about these big events

:21:32.:21:35.

is the power they have the draw people together and broadcast what

:21:36.:21:38.

is great and special about a blaze. I think Yorkshire has something

:21:39.:21:45.

great to look forward to and I have only had one complaint about road
