The Labour leader Ed Miliband has given what he calls 'an absolute | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
pledge for truth and justicd' for miners arrested | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Nearly 100 mine rs were charged with rioting | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
following violent clashes whth police at the plant near Rotherham. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Two years after the BBC revdaled police statements had been | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
manipulated, no independent investigation has been carrhed out. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Here's our political editor Len Tingle. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Thirty years to the day, thousands of striking miners and police were | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
It was close to what was thdn the Orgreave coking plant | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Dozens of arrests were made but some officers on duty at the timd have | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
told the BBC they were ordered to make changes to their statelents | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
in order to ensure convictions at later court hearings. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Never before or since, whilst I was a police officer, have I evdr been | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
involved where, effectively, chunks of a statement were dictated. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been looking at that | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Labour Leader Ed Miliband told Look North he now wants | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
What I want is proper truth, proper justice for what happened | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
at Orgreave and we?re deterlined to make it happen. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
There are those that would say that's a bit | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
That you've really got to bd more positive in terms | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
of what you would order shotld you come to power as Prime Minister | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Well, as I say, we are going to wait for what tie IPCC comes up with but | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
I'm making a very clear point on this, that both | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
in opposition ` and we're going to have a vote on this in the House | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
of Commons ` and in governmdnt, my absolute pledge is we will get | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
We were very disappointed whth the lack of seriousness | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
and progress in the first ydar but substantial forces have come | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
on board with the campaign, with the NUM, and applied pressure. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
As you know, we've had masshve publicity, especially leading | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
And I know that the IPCC have been mindful of that iconic date as well. | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
The coking plant is long gone, the site reclaimed, but the memories | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
and the controversy are going to be as easy to bulldoze away. | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
Lent is with us now. Some movement had hardly an earthquake. 30 years | :02:20. | :02:32. | |
ago 90 miners were charged with writing. 80 months ago a BBC | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
investigation found police officers who were ordered to change their | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
statements and yet investig`tors from the watchdog are still deciding | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
whether there is enough investigation to start anew | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
investigate. There will be ` debate in Parliament calling for an | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
investigation. After that, Dd Miliband has pledged he will keep | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
fighting until some form of investigation is ordered. | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
Also tonight, Look North has learnt that millions of pounds havd been | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
cut from children's services across Yorkshire, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
with Rotherham Council the latest to target Sure Start centres. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Today it decided to close 10 out of its 22 centres, which offer help | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Sure Start budgets across Yorkshire have been cut by ?7.5 million. | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
These range from just 0.2% in Kirklees to 13% in North | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
These families have just fotnd out their children's centre | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
Cortonwood in the Brampton area is one | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
of ten Sure Start centres Rotherham council is shutting to save money. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
There's nowhere else in this community for everybody elsd to go. | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
We?ve got no other facilities to use. | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
This used to be Sure Start nursery in Sheffield. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Set up for families in the Sharrow area, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
it was mostly funded by the NHS but it became another victim of cuts. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
I've used this centre, now, for nearly ten years. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
As a single parent I'm not getting as much support as H did. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Figure seen by Look North show the council here has reduced thd amount | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
it spends on Sure Start centres by ?0.5 million in the last five years. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
Sure Start funding used to be ring`fenced, meaning budgets were | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
protected, but that's no longer the case and our local councils are | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
having to make huge savings because of government cuts. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Using the Freedom of Information Act, we've discovered | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
that across Yorkshire as a whole, councils have reduced | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
the amount they spend on Sure Start by more than ?7.5 million. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Bradford, Doncaster and North Yorkshire have also said thdy plan | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Rotherham Council says it's being forced into closing centres because | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
the Government had reduced the amount of money local counchls get. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Sheffield council says 17 "centre areas" remain serving the | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
It looks like all seven of Doncaster Council's remaining care holes | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
Plans to hand services to the private sector have been | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
recommended for approval, s`ving the council nearly ?2 million. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
The council says standards of care shouldn't be affectdd. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
A man, whose bungalow was blown up in a huge gas explosion at Tingley, | :05:41. | :05:44. | |

It's been fast tracked in thme for the Tour de France Grand Depart | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Now the prospects for the wdather. Is the good weather going to | :06:11. | :06:34. | |
continue? High pressure rem`ins in charge but a lot of dry unsdttled | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
weather potentially through next week. Define out there at the | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
moment. By the end of the nhght we might see the effect of a vdry weak | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
weather front bringing one or two spots of light rain. Temper`tures | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
will be back to 13 or 14 Celsius. A little bit of dampness around but we | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
are once again going to see improvement. By the afternoon there | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
should be some good spells of sunshine developing. It's not going | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
to be quite as warm as it w`s today will stop along the coast of 15 or | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
16 Celsius. Inland 19 Celsits. Through Friday and the weekdnd, a | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
lot of dry and unsettled we`ther but some decent spells of sunshhne. Here | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
is the summary. Celsius. The outlook for the weekend | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
is looking pretty good. If you have outdoor plans, plenty of | :07:34. | :07:47. | |
fine weather, warm nest the south. Is today, warm nest the | :07:48. | :07:48. |
