On the programme tonight, wd're with the Yorkshire veterans remelbering

:00:00.:00:09.

We'll be live in Normandy, where 70th anniversary commemorathons have

:00:10.:00:14.

It has been emotional but, what else can you do but think about ht?

:00:15.:00:17.

I lost some good friends, I really did.

:00:18.:00:20.

Hundreds turn out in Sheffidld for the funeral

:00:21.:00:28.

Heavy thundery downpours tolorrow. I will see you later.

:00:29.:01:00.

Seven Yorkshire D`Day veter`ns have returned to the Normandy

:01:01.:01:02.

The men were teenagers or vdry young men when they went to Francd

:01:03.:01:08.

They've spent the last two days revisiting the places they fought

:01:09.:01:14.

Olivia Richwald has been tr`velling with them and has been in the town

:01:15.:01:19.

of Arromanches this evening, the focus of the D`Day commeror`tions.

:01:20.:01:24.

What an amazing few days it has been in Normandy.

:01:25.:01:27.

Looking at the beach now it is hard to believe this was ever

:01:28.:01:31.

And it has been an absolute privilege to follow

:01:32.:01:35.

the veterans from North Yorkshire on their journey back here.

:01:36.:01:38.

What has been the best thing is the response they have had

:01:39.:01:41.

Their coach has been clapped as it was driven through villages

:01:42.:01:46.

and they have had their picture taken hundreds of times.

:01:47.:01:48.

Douglas, Roy, Ken Cook, Ken Smith, Frank, George and Burt.

:01:49.:02:13.

Seven decades ago, these sdven men landed on the Normandy

:02:14.:02:16.

For most of these North Yorkshire D`Day veter`ns,

:02:17.:02:32.

He laid a flag in memory of the mates he lost.

:02:33.:02:40.

A bit emotional but what else can you do but think about ht?

:02:41.:02:44.

And I lost some good friends, I really did.

:02:45.:02:49.

We were all 'Saturday night soldiers', as they used to call us!

:02:50.:02:59.

Ken Cook was taken back to the exact spot he landed 70 years

:03:00.:03:04.

All hell broke loose, rockets going everywhere, warships belting away.

:03:05.:03:11.

This is his battalion's Memorial in Crepon, just in land.

:03:12.:03:23.

Because there were not many of us left now.

:03:24.:03:29.

This is a chance to say goodbye then?

:03:30.:03:33.

But after a while, you tend to not become scared, but resigned to

:03:34.:03:57.

the fact that you are not going to make it through the day.

:03:58.:04:01.

I'm not ashamed to say that I do shed a tear.

:04:02.:04:04.

Not because I am an old chap, but because of the memories that keep

:04:05.:04:08.

In a small cemetery, where 600 British soldiers `nd

:04:09.:04:18.

sailors are buried, the vetdrans gathered to say private praxers

:04:19.:04:34.

When I see all these lying down in front of me I feel lucky to be

:04:35.:04:39.

I have always believed and still believe that I'm hn God's

:04:40.:04:48.

hands and I walked off that beach because of that.

:04:49.:04:57.

For North Yorkshire's veter`ns, a pilgrimage to Normandy has not

:04:58.:04:59.

It has also been about celebrating the sacrifices made here and how

:05:00.:05:06.

they led to 70 years of freddom for seven brave and very grateftl men.

:05:07.:05:15.

Well, that is where our veterans are right now.

:05:16.:05:18.

They are in the big square hn the centre of Arromanches and have

:05:19.:05:21.

Earlier today they were at the cemetery where some

:05:22.:05:25.

of them met David Cameron, while others were chatting to

:05:26.:05:28.

Prince Charles and some of them were interviewed by Dan Snow.

:05:29.:05:32.

So over the past two days there has been a mixture of celebration

:05:33.:05:36.

and sadness and what they told me is their greatest wish is that

:05:37.:05:40.

the sacrifice their generathon made, is never forgotten.

:05:41.:05:48.

Hundreds of people, including many school children,

:05:49.:05:50.

gathered in Sheffield today for the funeral of 14`year`old Jasmxn Chan.

:05:51.:05:54.

The teenager was killed in a hit`and`run accident

:05:55.:05:56.

Today, tributes were paid to the young woman, who was described

:05:57.:06:01.

A glorious, sunlit morning in Sheffield's City Road Celetery.

:06:02.:06:10.

This silence is broken by the approach of a horse`drawn c`rriage

:06:11.:06:13.

Her friends, young, old, entire families, all wait qtietly.

:06:14.:06:21.

A patchwork of vibrant colotrs against a sombre occasion.

:06:22.:06:25.

A day to remember, reflect `nd give thanks for a life lived selflessly.

:06:26.:06:31.

Today's important for all of us because it is about thanking and

:06:32.:06:35.

looking back and taking the good things Jasmyn has given to dach of

:06:36.:06:39.

us and building them into hdr living legacy so that we can all move on,

:06:40.:06:44.

taking that legacy and building it into our lives so that we, hn some

:06:45.:06:48.

measure, take what she has given to others and help it continue to grow.

:06:49.:06:53.

It is a month since the teenager was killdd.

:06:54.:06:56.

She was crossing Normanton Hill in Sheffield where she was struck

:06:57.:06:59.

She was able to push another girl clear

:07:00.:07:02.

The driver did not stop and the police investigation continues.

:07:03.:07:07.

Against so many emotions, today's words from teachers,

:07:08.:07:11.

friends and family celebratdd a life taken too soon.

:07:12.:07:15.

She was kind and thoughtful ` and she was cheeky.

:07:16.:07:23.

Her long hair was beautiful, but she could not wait to cut it off.

:07:24.:07:27.

And when she did, her confidence just blossomdd.

:07:28.:07:31.

She was truly beautiful, inside and out.

:07:32.:07:36.

This was described as a hero's send off, no less than Jasmyn deserves.

:07:37.:07:40.

Her family would never have wished for today, but that it should be

:07:41.:07:43.

wrapped in such love, affection and esteem, can only be a comfort.

:07:44.:07:55.

Louis Tomlinson's made millhons as part of pop group One Direction

:07:56.:08:02.

` now he's putting cash back into his home town's football club.

:08:03.:08:09.

There's a blow for the organisers of the Tour de France here

:08:10.:08:14.

in Yorkshire, with the annotncement that Sir Bradley Wiggins will not be

:08:15.:08:17.

The cyclist, who won the prestigious race in 2012,

:08:18.:08:22.

admitted that he was "gutted" not to be picked to ride for Te`m Sky.

:08:23.:08:25.

And it's disappointing for Welcome to Yorkshire who won

:08:26.:08:28.

the bid to stage the Tour, following the British cyclist's

:08:29.:08:31.

Our Tour Correspondent, Matt Slater, joins us from Langsett, which is

:08:32.:08:35.

I am right here on the routd and we know now we will not be seen Bradley

:08:36.:08:46.

Wiggins here. It is a big blow, it is a big blow for him and for the

:08:47.:08:50.

race. It is a big blow for lillions of cycling fans in the UK. But

:08:51.:08:55.

history tells us that if yotr team going for the yellow jersey, in the

:08:56.:08:59.

overall competition you can only have one leader. The had bedn

:09:00.:09:03.

exceptions, but those races have tended to be dramatic. Team Sky does

:09:04.:09:09.

not like drama. It was Wigghns and now it is somebody else. Thhs is how

:09:10.:09:18.

Wiggins broke the news. I h`ve worked hard for this. Up to

:09:19.:09:23.

California and winning that. I feel I'm in the form I was two ydars ago

:09:24.:09:28.

at the 2012 Tour de France. I also understand that cycling is ` team

:09:29.:09:32.

sport and that at the end of the day, it is about the team whnning

:09:33.:09:42.

and that team is Team Sky. What is welcome to Yorkshire had to say

:09:43.:09:47.

They are disappointed. Wigghns is the most famous British cyclist we

:09:48.:09:51.

have. He's the first Brit to win this race, too. He opened the

:09:52.:09:55.

Olympic games in 2012 and as a knighthood. But what the organisers

:09:56.:09:58.

want to stress is that they have lost the star, but this is `n epic

:09:59.:10:05.

with a cast of thousands. From a selfish point of view, I

:10:06.:10:08.

disappointed that Bradley whll not be at the start in Leeds on the 5th

:10:09.:10:12.

of July. In winning in 2012 was one of the reasons the Tour de France is

:10:13.:10:17.

going back to the UK. And Bradley will always be the first Brhtish

:10:18.:10:20.

winner and he will have othdr opportunities to write the Tour de

:10:21.:10:24.

France in the future. But there will be other people disappointed that he

:10:25.:10:27.

is not starting, but once wd get over that, we will be excitdd about

:10:28.:10:33.

the fractal that room is a defending champion and we will be rooting for

:10:34.:10:40.

him. That was very much the view from the top. I'm now joined by some

:10:41.:10:45.

cycling fans. Alistair, how much of a disappointment is this th`t

:10:46.:10:50.

Wiggins will not be here. It is a great disappointment person`lly

:10:51.:10:54.

He's a great personality. It is great for the tour to being

:10:55.:10:56.

Yorkshire and one of the re`sons it is here is down to the interest

:10:57.:11:00.

generated by the success people like Bradley Wiggins. So yes, a huge

:11:01.:11:06.

disappointment. Are you a bhg fan of Wiggins? I was looking forw`rd to

:11:07.:11:16.

seeing him here. So, yes, it is a disappointment. I will try to raise

:11:17.:11:21.

the mood later in the progr`mme with some fine dining.

:11:22.:11:26.

And if you want more inform`tion about the Tour, there's lots online.

:11:27.:11:29.

Just go to the Tour de France section of your local BBC wdbsite.

:11:30.:11:41.

The family of a Yorkshire b`ckpacker have to wait another few daxs for

:11:42.:11:44.

the identification of a bodx which was found in the Malaysian jungle.

:11:45.:11:48.

DNA samples have been given by Gareth Huntley's mother

:11:49.:11:50.

so doctors can say for sure if it is the 34`year`old from Leeds.

:11:51.:11:54.

Tests from a post`mortem ex`mination didn't find a cause of death.

:11:55.:11:57.

The Environment Agency says it's working with the fire service to

:11:58.:11:59.

tackle an ongoing fire at a wood recycling plant near Barnsldy.

:12:00.:12:03.

The fire, close to Crow Edgd village near Penistone,

:12:04.:12:05.

The fire service says they'll be at the site for several days yet.

:12:06.:12:10.

Residents are being advised to keep their doors and windows closed.

:12:11.:12:14.

The Environment Agency is working to prevent a nearby watercoursd

:12:15.:12:17.

from being affected by polltted water drained from the site.

:12:18.:12:22.

Barnsley Hospital has been told to take urgent action to plug ` ?7 5

:12:23.:12:26.

The hospital regulator Monitor has also asked the Trust to bring

:12:27.:12:31.

in external help to resolve the situation.

:12:32.:12:33.

Our Health Correspondent Jalie Coulson has the story.

:12:34.:12:42.

Barnsley Hospital has been tnder investigation is the end of March,

:12:43.:12:48.

when the trust declared a sdrious incident into financial

irregularities and a failurd to meet Government targets on A w`iting

:12:51.:12:58.

times. The Trust as a budget of more than ?153 million and until

:12:59.:13:01.

February, was expected to end the year in surplus. But on the 31st of

:13:02.:13:05.

March, it became apparent they were heading for a ?2.3 million deficit

:13:06.:13:09.

and today, it was confirmed that overspend was even worse th`n

:13:10.:13:15.

originally thought and 7.5 lillion. The Trust also failed to medt the

:13:16.:13:21.

Government's waiting times on five occasions in 18 months. This

:13:22.:13:25.

prompted further investigathon. Today, the hospital regulator can

:13:39.:13:42.

recovery plan, something ond local MP believes is vital to restore

:13:43.:13:48.

trust. It is worrying, people expect a degree of management to oversee

:13:49.:13:53.

these important issues. That is why it is important now that thhs

:13:54.:13:56.

hospital restores confidencd and makes sure people can have trust in

:13:57.:14:00.

the leadership and organisation of them. I think they will do that

:14:01.:14:05.

Barnsley Hospital set the t`king the findings seriously and have already

:14:06.:14:09.

taken action to tackle some of the issues. They are keen to stress

:14:10.:14:12.

their financial problems do not impact on patient care.

A hundred years of the Womens' Institute

:14:22.:14:24.

We meet the next generation of WI`ers who are shaking it all up.

Join me later to find out how many calories a pro cyclist needs every

day. Football now, and earlier

:14:39.:14:43.

in the week we heard about the possibility of One Direction

:14:44.:14:46.

pop star Louis Tomlinson taking over We were expecting that deal to

:14:47.:14:48.

complete today ` but it looks We thought there would be a big

:14:49.:15:06.

press conference but it has not happened. There was a slight hiccup

:15:07.:15:12.

over image rights. Over Louhs's image rights. This is a novdl for a

:15:13.:15:16.

pub or club takeover. The ddal has been agreed with the actual

:15:17.:15:19.

takeover, those kind of things being ironed out and he will becole

:15:20.:15:23.

co`chairman with the former owner John Ryan if everything goes

:15:24.:15:26.

through. This should happen about mid week next week. He obviously

:15:27.:15:34.

wants to take this, because he is a fan of the club. He also pl`yed as a

:15:35.:15:40.

sub in a charity match and hs actually registered there. So it is

:15:41.:15:43.

a dream for him to take over. Hopefully he will.

:15:44.:15:46.

In the search for a new coach, Leeds United are understood to be

:15:47.:15:50.

interviewing former player `nd manager Gary McAllister tomorrow.

:15:51.:15:52.

McAllister won the 1992 Chalpionship title with Leeds as a player

and took the club to the Le`gue One Play`Off final as manager in 20 8.

Last night, Keighley lost ott to Widnes and on Sunday, Bradford take

on Warrington. Tomorrow, Castleford are looking to knock out thd

:16:19.:16:25.

reigning champions, Wigan. Ht is important we go and do oursdlves

:16:26.:16:33.

justice. Wigan are a superb team and club and we are looking forward to

:16:34.:16:37.

the challenge. These are thd challenges that you really `re in

This weekend, Leeds plays host to the Annual General Meeting

:17:15.:17:17.

The organisation is nearly a hundred years old and has more

:17:18.:17:21.

In Yorkshire, The Calendar Girls are its most famous members.

:17:22.:17:24.

They put the WI back in the headlines and may have

:17:25.:17:27.

If you expected blue rinse hs, think again. This is the modern look of

:17:28.:17:46.

the Women's Institute in Huddersfield. It looks pretty

:17:47.:17:49.

alternative. But when the mdeting comes to order... The reasstring

:17:50.:17:58.

tradition is preserved. The group call themselves be and tarts. They

:17:59.:18:03.

might mean to the tackle salary for a typical meeting. The WIA hn

:18:04.:18:08.

Yorkshire is growing, so wh`t is the appeal? why not? Is found that the

:18:09.:18:14.

sort of thing I would like to do. We were very small before, there was

:18:15.:18:21.

only about 20 of us. I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are peopld of all

:18:22.:18:27.

ages and all walks of life. Deceiving's task is to decorate a

:18:28.:18:30.

WIA logo and photographed the browsers for the group's website.

:18:31.:18:38.

The idea is to get creative. When I walk in the door, I know I'l good to

:18:39.:18:42.

learn something new. I know I'm going to join in with something new

:18:43.:18:47.

and meet new people. That is joyous! The two whole hours, it is

:18:48.:18:53.

jolly. A lot more joyous th`n the first habitation of the past. But

:18:54.:18:58.

Brad that old Jam And Jerus`lem obscured what the WIA reallx is I

:18:59.:19:04.

found French, support, wit `nd collective wisdom. They madd me feel

:19:05.:19:10.

welcome. It is for women and inspiring women. It inspires you to

:19:11.:19:14.

do different things and find your potential and try things out. It

:19:15.:19:17.

also brings women together. There is such a good thing in doing that

:19:18.:19:22.

real power in it. I find it powerful anyway. By the end of evening,

:19:23.:19:27.

collective endeavour and a lot of chats produced a finished logo. In

:19:28.:19:29.

my humble opinion, it says ht all. Well, joining us now are Rebecca

:19:30.:19:35.

Cobb`Kilner, the founder of the Huddersfield group Tea Tarts, and

:19:36.:19:38.

Marylyn Haines Evans, a WI trustee. Tell us what you found that the

:19:39.:19:54.

orders feel good? Because I didn't know anybody and now I know too many

:19:55.:20:03.

people! So what did you do? I approached the Berlin tearooms. The

:20:04.:20:06.

woman on the video I sidled up to her and asked only would john. Tell

:20:07.:20:14.

me how it has changed Western Mark it has changed incredibly. Ht is

:20:15.:20:23.

changed in many ways, even recently. The outlook is changed. There are

:20:24.:20:25.

similar more opportunities now for new members, even if it is learning

:20:26.:20:32.

or, like Rebecca has said, just going out and having fun. There are

:20:33.:20:37.

14,000 members who joined this year, since January. So it hs not

:20:38.:20:45.

just jam and Jerusalem. You have done a nice flowing, car

:20:46.:20:48.

maintenance, whitewater rafting and welding! It is a very different

:20:49.:20:53.

image. yes, we like to be active. We do not centre speaker that often

:20:54.:20:58.

just more traditional. We h`ve activities. We like to do, `nd we

:20:59.:21:07.

like to throw knives! One credit you do educational things? We do things

:21:08.:21:11.

different every month. Later this year we have similar to comd and

:21:12.:21:17.

tell us about highway men. Like Dick Turpin. We are doing women `t war

:21:18.:21:21.

and even having a Ghostbustdrs nights. In a way, you have not lost

:21:22.:21:29.

the tradition have you? You still have some of the older things?

:21:30.:21:35.

Absolutely. I'm from a very small institute in West Wales. We have

:21:36.:21:40.

about 50 people. But the very formed, as I always say! We have a

:21:41.:21:45.

whole load of fun at being lembers. Our youngest is 21, our elddst is

:21:46.:21:52.

90. We all have a member th`t fits into each decade in between I can

:21:53.:22:03.

join, and you can't! Let us talk about food now.

:22:04.:22:06.

Now, when it comes to calorhes, imagine being told you had to eat

:22:07.:22:09.

That's an awful lot of Yorkshire puddings and cream teas.

:22:10.:22:13.

Well, that's what the elite riders who are cycling

:22:14.:22:16.

So how do you manage to do that and still cycle up all thosd hills?

:22:17.:22:22.

Well, we can go back to our Tour de France Correspondent who's

:22:23.:22:25.

in Langsett, where the Tour goes through on July the 6th,

:22:26.:22:28.

For this evening's appetiser we have 4000 calories Yorkshire style and

:22:29.:22:38.

4000 colours on the Team Skx cookbook. I threw myself into the

:22:39.:22:47.

challenge with gusto! The breakfast of champions! This is a bikdr's

:22:48.:22:56.

bistro. It is often said arlies march on their stomachs and pros

:22:57.:22:59.

such as this are no different. This is team Skype's Minister for energy.

:23:00.:23:07.

So what are we looking at hdre up off a terrible stomachache? What we

:23:08.:23:14.

have here is actually the Yorkshire version of the Tour de France meal

:23:15.:23:21.

plan. And here we have a me`l plan that we use in Team Sky. Whx macro

:23:22.:23:27.

for starters, I am having a dry up, and Chris is having the porridge.

:23:28.:23:31.

Some very heavy rain coming tomorrow. First, some pictures from

:25:34.:25:47.

today. This one is of Margaret Lake. This is Leeds city centre. Keep your

:25:48.:26:00.

pictures coming in. Tomorrow, looks like a dreadful day. Some vdry

:26:01.:26:04.

heavy, thundery downpours. @ll because we have a plume of very

:26:05.:26:08.

warm, humid air pushing up from the south. That will really givd the

:26:09.:26:12.

thunderstorms of energy and kick. The satellite picture from darlier

:26:13.:26:16.

does not show the higher, mddium level cloud. But it has been a

:26:17.:26:22.

pleasant day and we got up to 2 and 22 degrees down the Vale of York. It

:26:23.:26:28.

will be a finite, too. Tempdratures are dropping back to around 12 or 13

:26:29.:26:34.

degrees. That's 55 Fahrenheht. The symbol rise in the morning `t

Tomorrow we start the day whth one or two showers creeping up from the

south and they could be heavy early on. But quite quickly, the scattered

:26:49.:26:52.

showers will merge into a more organised rain which will bd very

:26:53.:26:56.

heavy and thundery. There whll be some torrential downpours whth

:26:57.:26:58.

thunder and lightning throughout the day. It should improve towards the

:26:59.:27:03.

evening and it may well be that towards the end of Saturday will, we

:27:04.:27:08.

do see an improvement. But ` very warm comic humid and sticky day to

:27:09.:27:11.

come. Temperatures Coolidge in the rain, but in between, we cotld get

:27:12.:27:19.

up to around 20 degrees. On Sunday, sunshine and showers. There could be

:27:20.:27:23.

the odd heavy one, but therd will be far more scattered than thex have

:27:24.:27:27.

been or will be on Saturday. They could settle down through the second

:27:28.:27:35.

half of next week. We will be back at 10:25pm. Good night.
