right English Defence League held a rally. There were no reported

:00:09.:00:18.

arrests but, as our political editor, Len Tingle, reports, the day

:00:19.:00:21.

was not without incident. Far right English Defence League

:00:22.:00:24.

activists told me they expected 2000. In the event, less than a

:00:25.:00:29.

quarter of that number turned up but it was still enough to disrupt

:00:30.:00:35.

Rotherham. Shops shut along the route here and most shoppers have

:00:36.:00:38.

stayed at home. I reckon tere's about 400 EDL here but they are

:00:39.:00:42.

outnumbered by the police by about two to one. The police operation

:00:43.:00:47.

alone is costing ?500,000. The EDL's day out here is proving to be an

:00:48.:00:53.

expensive one. From all over the country, EDL supporters say that

:00:54.:00:56.

they're fighting what they claim is the growing influence of the Muslim

:00:57.:01:01.

culture. They totally deny being racist. The EDL is a multiracial

:01:02.:01:05.

organisation, for starters, so how can that actually be classed as

:01:06.:01:09.

racist? If it is multiracial, where are the black faces? There aren't

:01:10.:01:13.

any. Maybe not in this one but if you would back to the other values,

:01:14.:01:17.

you know, all over you tube, we have Sikhs, Muslims, black people, all

:01:18.:01:25.

sorts of people. `` YouTube. There was a brawl when a counter

:01:26.:01:28.

demonstration by antifascist campaigners tried to match the

:01:29.:01:31.

volume of the EDL rally. I think it's a disgrace that people are

:01:32.:01:34.

trying to divide communities with racism, anti`Semitism, sexism to

:01:35.:01:37.

this town. And I've come up here because people have asked me to come

:01:38.:01:40.

here and stand in solidarity with them and a united community

:01:41.:01:43.

opposition to the EDL. You're not going to be able to get to them

:01:44.:01:48.

although most of you would love to. But police successfully contained no

:01:49.:01:57.

two sides well away from each other. `` the two sides.

:01:58.:02:04.

A 14`year`old girl has died after a hit`and`run car accident in

:02:05.:02:07.

Sheffield last night. Jasmyn Chan suffered fatal injuries and her

:02:08.:02:09.

12`year`old friend was also seriously injured in the incident on

:02:10.:02:13.

Normanton Hill in the intake area of the city. Police have appealed to

:02:14.:02:16.

the driver to come forward. Sport now, and Huddersfield Giants

:02:17.:02:19.

recorded their fourth Super League win in a row this afternoon, beating

:02:20.:02:21.

London Broncos 30`16. In football, Rotherham's League One

:02:22.:02:24.

play`off first leg against Preston North End got underway just under an

:02:25.:02:29.

hour ago. The Millers are currently one up.

:02:30.:02:33.

And York's League Two play`off against Fleetwood starts at 7.30

:02:34.:02:36.

this evening. The Bootham Crescent game is a sell`out. BBC Radio York

:02:37.:02:40.

will have all the build`up and full commentary from seven.

:02:41.:02:42.

On to boxing, and Sheffield's Kid Galahad is fighting in his home city

:02:43.:02:46.

tonight and is hoping to add the Commonwealth title to his

:02:47.:02:47.

collection. Shamir Masri reports. Ingle Gym in Sheffield boasts one of

:02:48.:02:56.

the strongest stables of boxers in the country. They have a former

:02:57.:02:59.

world champion in Junior Witter and potentially their next with Kell

:03:00.:03:03.

Brook due to fight for the IBF world title in the next few weeks. But

:03:04.:03:10.

this weekend, all eyes are on Abdul`Bari Awad, also known as Kid

:03:11.:03:15.

Galahad. He's hoping to add the Commonwealth title to the British

:03:16.:03:18.

and European crowns he has won in the last eight months. Whatever I've

:03:19.:03:25.

got to do to win, I'll find a way and I'll do it. I don't really in

:03:26.:03:28.

particular look at match tapes because when you get in that ring

:03:29.:03:31.

it's completely different. I'm going to go in there on Saturday night and

:03:32.:03:36.

do what I've got to do to win. He will face Australian champion Fred

:03:37.:03:39.

'The General' Mundraby, but do his stablemates think the Kid has got

:03:40.:03:43.

what it takes to become one of the best in the 122lb weight division?

:03:44.:03:49.

No`one is fitter than him and he is looking better in every fight. I

:03:50.:03:56.

only see high hopes for him. He is coming through with speed, time and

:03:57.:04:00.

accuracy. He has got exactly what he needs to get him all the way to the

:04:01.:04:04.

top. Galahad hopes winning the Commonwealth title will help him

:04:05.:04:07.

move into the top ten of the world rankings and a place on the global

:04:08.:04:09.

stage. After a day of sunshine and showers,

:04:10.:04:27.

we continue with the unsettled theme as we head into this evening and

:04:28.:04:30.

overnight. The showers continuing to pile in from the west. They will be

:04:31.:04:33.

heavy and occasionally thundery through the night. Otherwise, quite

:04:34.:04:36.

a lot of cloud around. Temperatures will be fairly mild tonight. The

:04:37.:04:43.

wind will pick up as we start Sunday morning. Again, it will be another

:04:44.:04:47.

day of sunshine and a fair a few scattered, thundery, slow`moving

:04:48.:04:50.

showers. Highs tomorrow of 12 degrees.

:04:51.:05:03.

Good luck if you are doing the Leeds half marathon.

:05:04.:05:11.

Good evening. We have seen plenty of showers scattered across the country

:05:12.:05:19.

today. There will be drier and brighter spells in between. Low

:05:20.:05:23.

pressure is sitting across the country, with some tightly packed

:05:24.:05:27.

isobars to the south. That indicates some strong winds. They will

:05:28.:05:31.

continue throughout the night, going up to gale force at times. The main

:05:32.:05:35.

focus of the wettest weather across parts of West Wales is this rain. It

:05:36.:05:41.

will not be a particularly cold start to Sunday. Showers, not

:05:42.:05:47.

everywhere, some of us will see drier weather weather window of

:05:48.:05:50.

sunshine around, but be prepared for those showers if you're stepping out
