weather. Not a wash-out but stay tuned for the details. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
It's made me reconsider whether there it is time to find another | :00:00. | :00:24. | |
job. We hear from both sides | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
in the debate over public sector pay The Queen is presented with | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
a hamper of Derbyshire produce as crowds turn out to welcome | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Her Majesty to the county. This is something I'm told is called | :00:34. | :00:45. | |
Peg agility and I'm told I will have to have a go at it before the end of | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
the show. Join us later. It has been a glorious day but spare | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
a thought for the course where it has been wet and windy. The forecast | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
later. Good evening and welcome | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
to Thursday's Look North. There's been disruption | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
across Yorkshire today. According to unions, | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
around 100,000 public sector workers walked out on strike in | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
a dispute over pay and conditions. Dinner ladies, refuse collectors, | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
librarians, firefighters The biggest disruption has been | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
to schools as hundreds were In North Yorkshire 88 schools | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
were closed or partially closed. And in West Yorkshire 390 | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
schools had to close. Well, in a moment we'll hear the | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
views from a union representative and a Conservative MP, but first | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Cathy Killick has our top story. Marching outside the town hall in | :01:41. | :01:53. | |
Sheffield, there was no messing this thousands strong rally. Around half | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
a dozen public sector unions took part, there were similar scenes in | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Leeds. This is just one of the rallies | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
taking place across the region, the message very clear. These employees | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
have had enough of the cuts. Government remains committed to | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
austerity and maintains that the strike is causing little disruption. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
The abandoned bin lorries told a different story. This depot would | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
normally be empty with all the lorries on their rounds, not today. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Firefighters were also on strike, angry at changes to pensions. Dozens | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
of leisure centres were closed or offering limited services. Hundreds | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
of schools closed their doors. Teachers and support staff refused | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
to work. Typing struggling as it is. I work | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
for 39 hours a week. I'm here to support everybody else and I think | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
we deserved the pay rise. We are just keeping head above | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
water, to be honest. With the cuts it will be very | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
difficult. Everything is going up but wages are. It is plain to see by | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
anybody that we need a pay rise. Do the strikers have the support of | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
the Yorkshire public? That depends who you talk to. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
I got sympathy with them but I think when they are in a job like that | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
they do have responsibility to the public so, I'm sorry, I'm not in | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
full agreement with the strike. For me, it is the inconvenience of | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
it because I got a child that is in school that has to take the day of | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
today. Apart from that I am for it. People should get a decent wage. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
The government have missed the government have missed about enough | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
with peoples pensions. We work all our lives for it. You will get there | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
is, huge pensions, but not these people. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
This is the unions, let's be honest. Whenever you go they want more for | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the workers, understandably, but it disrupts everybody else. | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
Once it notes to the day, despite their teacher's absence, these | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
children from Seacroft who have 100% attendance records got their | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
promised trip to a way of life Park, taken by the headteacher who | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
couldn't let them down. Well, | :04:18. | :04:29. | |
joining us now are Alec Shelbrooke, the Conservative MP for Rothwell and | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Elmet, and Chris Jenkinson, Unison's At 29% turnout, does that give a | :04:32. | :04:49. | |
fair representation of what workers want? | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
I don't recognise those figures. The turnout has been fantastic. We think | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
150,000 public sector workers have been on strike today. | :04:59. | :06:26. | |
in industrial action is why it is being done. This is a political | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
strike, nothing more, nothing less. Even the fact that ?23 million has | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
been donated to the Labour Party, even though that Ed Miliband has | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
said these strikes were wrong. People in the private sector has | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
seen not just pay freezes but pay cuts. I have had lots of | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
correspondence today from people complaining about the strikes | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
because even though it has a 1% pay rise which in real terms as a pay | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
cut, that is the situation this country has found itself in after a | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
disastrous time for the economy. You are still on a final salary | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
scheme. You are not leading by example, are you? | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
I completely understand that and pension scheme is changing in next | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Parliament. But why not lead on that. | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
It is being done. It will be the same as the rest of the public | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
sector pension scheme so that is happening. The fact of the matter is | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
that we talk about pension schemes in the public sector. These are | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
still excellent schemes when we put them into context. There are many | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
people working in that area and 24 million people who are not. What | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
particularly distresses me is the attitude of the NUT compared to the | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
NUS you'd be other union 's. It is upsetting to see members of one | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
union beating the others. `` goading the others. There are plenty of | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
people out there who have lost a day's pay and they cannot dream of | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
having pay and pensions of that nature. | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Briefly, are we likely to see a repeat of this action? | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
We are going to think about that but what we're saying is that we want | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
employers to come round the table and negotiate with us, with ACAS if | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
necessary, and we do not want the public disrupted anymore than they | :08:36. | :08:36. | |
have to be. Police have arrested a man | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
on suspicion of the murder of a 23`year`old woman who went | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
missing in Leeds 14 years ago. Gemma Simpson was catching a bus | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
from Harehills when she disappeared. A man was arrested in Scarborough | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
on Tuesday evening. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
has the story. Gemma Simpson from the Harehills | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
district of Leeds vanished on May 3, It's believed she told | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
a friend she was catching a bus to Leeds city centre | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
and was going on to Huddersfield. Two days ago, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
a man was arrested in Scarborough in It is understood the 44`year`old man | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
had handed himself in at Scarborough Police have thoroughly searched | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
the arrested man's home Here in St Leonard's Crescent in the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Barrowcliff district of Scarborough. They have since boarded it up | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
while the man him self has been taken back to Leeds | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
for questioning by detectives. Next`door neighbour Michael says | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
the man, a taxi driver, had lived You only saw him on a night`time | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
when he went to work in his taxi. He used to start at nine | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
at night and come in As news spread of the arrest, | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
police say Gemma's family have been Further news is expected soon, | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
meanwhile, the house that may provide vital clues to the | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
disappearance of Gemma 14 years ago Hundreds gather in York to mark 70 | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
years since the battle in India The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh | :10:01. | :10:14. | |
have been visiting Chatsworth House It was their first visit to the | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
Stately Home for over ten years. They were greeted by the Duke | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
and Duchess of Devonshire The Queen arrived at Chatsworth to | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
be greeted by sunshine and crowds. Dressed in summary blue | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
and carrying pink roses, she was accompanied by Prince Philip | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
and the Duke of Devonshire. One of the first things to catch | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
her eye was a hamper of food. It was fantastic and showcased | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
what we do, our local produce. To be able to show | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
the Queen that this was She asked the question if she could | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
fit it in her helicopter to take There were private presentations | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
including Ken Sloan, the dog handler with the | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team. It really does mean a lot | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
because all the long, long years that most people do, they don't get | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
to see anybody like the Queen. And, as ever, there were also | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
plenty of well`wishers. I've never seen the Queen before so | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
it has been a real life experience. She is smaller than I | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
thought she would be. I live in Sheffield but last time I | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
met the Queen was in I just went to catch a train | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
and the Queen happened to be there that day and I didn't have any | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
flowers to give her so I thought She left as she arrived, | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
in glorious sunshine, No`one is telling | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
whether she managed to sneak In other news now, | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
and there's been a call in the House of Commons for the man responsible | :12:01. | :12:14. | |
for the Grand Depart in Yorkshire to The Shipley MP said that the head | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
of the county's tourist organisation, Welcome to Yorkshire, | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
should be made a Sir. The Commons leader described | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
the suggestion He should be recognised perhaps with | :12:24. | :12:38. | |
a knighthood. The Prime Minister has came the coming to listen to my | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
message and hopefully he will have that message ringing in his ears. | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
Congratulations to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, which has been | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
The open`air gallery near Wakefield won the ?100,000 Art Fund Prize | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
It was hailed by judges as a "truly outstanding museum with a | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Last year was the park's busiest ever, with 350,000 visitors. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Hundreds have gathered in York today to mark 70 years since the Battle | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Many of the troops who fought and died were based in York and | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
it's where a museum commemorating their sacrifice is housed. | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
British and Indian forces won the battle against the Japanese | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
But it was a turning point in Second World War in the Far East. | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Olivia Richwald reports now from today's moving ceremony. | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
It was a battle on a remote mountain ridge in a far`flung corner of the | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
world 70 years ago but the memories of the Battle of call him a `` | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
Battle of Kohima our Tour offer made to describe. `` are too rugged for | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
many to describe. The battle was a decisive Allied | :14:00. | :14:14. | |
victory. The Japanese were prevented from invading India but the | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
conditions for the soldiers were horrendous. Fought over maintenance, | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
and jungles, through monsoons, heat, starvation and disease. | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
11,000 people died. We got to the top of big Alice in hell and it was | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
shelled to PCs. Dead bodies lying everywhere. It was terrible. | :14:39. | :14:50. | |
70 years on, there are just a few veterans left who are able to come | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
to the service and that makes their memories even more precious. Today, | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
each of them led a region in memory of lost friends. | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
I've been here many years before but today a special as the 70th year and | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
it will probably be my last. One of the best services there have | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
been. It's very emotional. A museum dedicated to the battle is | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
raised at the barracks. In education trust is based in India and aims to | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
repay the debt owed by Britain to the people of India who helped drive | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
back the Japanese and when the Second World War. | :15:38. | :15:50. | |

A Leeds schoolgirl is today celebrating the 5th anniversary | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
of the heart transplant that saved her life. | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Gabrysia Filarowski from Horsforth was born with a rare heart defect. | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
As a baby she was put at the top of the UK transplant list. | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Now she's a happy and healthy six`year`old. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
Dancing and dressing up are her hobbies. | :16:22. | :16:34. | |
She's like any other six`year`old girl. | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
But Gabrysia Filarowski from Horsforth has a remarkable story. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
As a baby she went straight to the top of the UK transplant list. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Born with a rare heart condition, doctors feared she had just months | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
In 2009, I filmed Gabrysia and her family at | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle as they went through agonising tests. | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
There always seems to be a setback somewhere. | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
We've always encountered another brick wall. | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
That may continue but that has been the most difficult thing. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
We have learned not to expect the best because the disappointment | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
And then when she was just 16 months old, Gabrysia received | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
Today, she is back at the Freeman Hospital as she celebrates | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
the fifth anniversary of the operation that saved her life. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Gabrysia is here for a checkup and her first television interview. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
I was born with half a heart and I spent a long time in hospital. | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
Doctors had to take out my poorly heart and give me a new one. | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
Five years further on, we've got a child that learns | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
like every normal child and has wonderful relationships with | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
other children in her class, does everything they can do. | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
It just brings us so much joy, something we'd never thought we'd | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Hospital checkups are now a world away from the checkups | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
We lived hour by hour, day by day, and we saw children that had been | :18:17. | :18:30. | |
transplanted that were about the age Gabrysia is now and would never dare | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
Some people comment, you have to go all the way to | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
Newcastle, that's such a long way, but it doesn't feel like that to us | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
There is always the risk of her body rejecting the new heart. | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
Gabrysia will need medication for the rest of her life. | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
But this girl doesn't let anything hold her back. | :19:01. | :19:23. | |
Yorkshire's County Championship match at home to Durham has ended | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
But Yorkshire stay on top of the table. | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
The visitors dug in for most of the final day. | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
They were following on in reply to Yorkshire's first | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Adam Lyth's two wickets early in Durham's second innings gave | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
But Durham managed to hang on in the final session, with two | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
The Grand Depart has been and gone, but building work on one | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
of the Tour de France's biggest legacy projects should get underway | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
A 14 mile cycle superhighway will be built between Seacroft in East Leeds | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
and Bradford city centre at a cost of ?29 million. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
A cycle lane completely segregated from other vehicles. This one is in | :20:07. | :20:20. | |
Amsterdam in the Netherlands but something very similar is coming to | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
west Yorkshire. Potential users have been getting | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
the chance to see detailed plans for what is known as the city connect | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
cycle superhighway. Currently on this road, cyclists are | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
on the main highway. Once the cycle superhighway is complete, they will | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
be away from the traffic and have their own dedicated route which is | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
far safer. The 14 mile long highway will | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
replace narrow by claims like this one the A64 which are seen as | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
potentially dangerous and confusing. It will run from Seacroft to | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Bradford. This will get the Dutch style | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
treatment. Currently, cyclists have to share space with other motorists. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
When the highway is complete, cyclists will get their own lane | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
that cars, lorries and buses cannot stray into. The aim is to get more | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
people cycling by making cycling safer. The government is pitching in | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
with the rest of the money coming from Leeds and Bradford Council 's. | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
At the moment, it can feel threatening sharing with vehicles. | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
If you are on a separate cycle path, you know you won't be passed to | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
closely and it gives you confidence. You see all kinds of rubbish cycling | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
infrastructure when there was no thought for mass cycling. Now we are | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
thinking we want ten or 20% of journeys to be made by Blake and we | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
have to plan for that. This is totally different to what | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
came before. It is addressing needs of cyclists. This will make a | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
difference because people will feel safer and it will be safer to cycle | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
on the road. It is a springboard for major change. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
As part of the scheme, the canal towpath between Leeds and Shipley | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
will also be upgraded to make it smoother for cyclists. The | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
consultation runs until the end of July and building work should start | :22:24. | :22:24. | |
in the autumn. Today was the third and final day | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
of the Great Yorkshire Show and didn't the weather play ball | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
for the thousands of visitors who Over in the pig ring there was | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
a special event drawing We sent Ian White to put his pig | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
handling skills to the test. Forget one man and his dog, this is | :22:41. | :22:59. | |

been roped into this so what I'm letting myself in for? | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
It is all about getting a pig to go and take yourself where you wanted | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
to go. It is not about the pig, it is about handler using the bat and | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
the board to steer it round the course in the prescribed manner, | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
nice and gently, and we do it on a time trial. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Why do I get the feeling this is not going to be easy? And hundreds of | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
people are looking on as well. It is the epitome of his career at | :23:39. | :23:57. | |
the end of it, one of the two. That'll do. | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
Use it like a brother. `` rider | :24:08. | :24:24. | |
very good. She should come back and do it every | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
year. I would say that as a career`high. | :24:28. | :24:57. | |
I think he has found his place in life, don't you? | :24:58. | :26:39. | |
Dry and bright in the West, further eastwards patchy rain first thing. | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
That might get into Sheffield but only a few spots. The afternoon is | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
dry and bright everywhere with sunny spells coming through. Lots of cloud | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
around but it should brighten through the course of the day. A | :26:59. | :27:09. | |
better day in Scarborough. The weekend is not looking too bad. Warm | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
sunshine on Saturday with the rest of 12 heavy showers late in the day. | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
The rest of Sunday should be bright with sunshine and one or two | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
showers. Monday should be a fine start with patchy rain later. | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
That's not a bad forecast for you. That's not a bad forecast | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
