baton through. The baton will now go on to more than 400 communities

before the start of Good evening,

and welcome to Look North. Campaigners who want

a public inquiry into the policing of the miners? strike say

the Independent Police Complaints Miners who picketed the Orgreave

coking works near Rotherham gathered there today

to mark the 30th anniversarx of the most violent confrontation

of the year`long strike. Picketing was replaced by

picnicking. This was a gathdring to remember the events of 30 ydars ago

and to campaign for a new enquiry. It is important because an hnjustice

take place and people are still smarting about that injustice. It is

not about compensation, it hs about truth and justice. Thousands of

miners faced the police. Thdy were trying to stop lorries leavhng the

coke works here. There was violence on both sides. Police officdrs and

picketers were injured. 95 liners were arrested. This man was one of

them. At just 19 he was acctsed of riots and faced a long prison

sentence. That was worrying. I had that weight of 25 years imprisonment

on my shoulders. That is whx I am wearing this shirt. It was 30 years

ago, though, it was 30 years ago, though, does still matter? Ht

matters to me. What you want? I want them to say, we were wrong. The case

collapsed. Today of bowling was released for each of the 95 who

faced trial. The IPCC says that after 18 months consideration it is

now close to announcing it next move.

It has been a difficult secret to keep. Chris and Harry Burditt were

informed that they were being recommended for MBEs over two months

ago. But only today could they celebrate the news. It is an

achievement marking over 40 years of foster care, and one they are very

proud of. It has been very rewarding, every child is dhfferent,

they have different needs. Ht went past been a job years ago. Xes. I do

not think I could have worddd it any better. It is just like an dxtended

family. Since the story has been made public the phone has not

stopped ringing and friends, family and former foster children have been

sending their warmest wishes. As foster carers we feel very proud of

that little bit that these children do keep in touch. It is verx nice

that you can see them grow. Some of them, 14, 15 years old, thex have

adopted us. Coppell may eagdrly await their invitation to Btckingham

Palace, where they will be `warded their well`deserved medals.
