Hello, welcome to Tuesday's Look North

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight, the Bradford school at the centre of new controversy...

:00:00.:00:00.

Ofsted inspectors warn that pupils at Carlton Bolling College `re

:00:07.:00:09.

We'll hear from the leader of Bradford Council.

:00:10.:00:16.

The holidaymaker who almost died when she sleepwalked out

:00:17.:00:21.

We'll find out how she's getting back on her feet.

:00:22.:00:25.

Want to find out more about dinosaurs in Yorkshird?

:00:26.:00:28.

We'll be talking to one of Britain's leading experts.

:00:29.:00:38.

More sunshine tomorrow mornhng, the risk of patchy rain later and

:00:39.:00:42.

temperatures increasing through the rest of the week. Details coming up

:00:43.:00:46.

shortly. First tonight,

:00:47.:00:52.

calls for governors to be rdplaced at a Bradford school which has been

:00:53.:00:54.

the subject of a highly critical The Ofsted report says pupils

:00:55.:00:57.

at Carlton Bolling College, which has an overwhelmingly Muslil intake,

:00:58.:01:01.

are at possible risk of extremism. The report also says some governors

:01:02.:01:03.

opposed boys and girls going The BBC has a leaked copy of the

:01:04.:01:08.

Ofsted report for Carlton Bolling. It says the school now

:01:09.:01:25.

requires special measures. "The governing body is an obstacle

:01:26.:01:27.

to, rather than a champion of, "The child protection and

:01:28.:01:32.

safeguarding policy fails to give "necessary attention to potdntial

:01:33.:01:44.

risks posed by extremism." And some "governing body melbers

:01:45.:01:46.

"pushed for the narrowing of the "Geography curriculum

:01:47.:01:55.

and restricting Religious Education The report says a review is needed

:01:56.:01:57.

into governance at the school. Now it appears

:01:58.:02:01.

the governors will be sacked. Carlton Bolling is a large non`faith

:02:02.:02:13.

school in Bradford, 94% of students on Muslim. But Ofsted has criticised

:02:14.:02:19.

policies here such as afternoon closure for Friday rares and a later

:02:20.:02:26.

starting time during Ramadan. `` for two. It says this does not support

:02:27.:02:33.

the different needs of the growing minority of non`Moslem studdnts

:02:34.:02:41.

Boys were also excluded frol one school visit. One parent saxs she

:02:42.:02:47.

disagrees of what is in the report. That is wrong, they do not do it

:02:48.:02:54.

like this. They focus normally on all of them, it is not just Islam,

:02:55.:03:03.

they teach equally to all rdligions. I do not have any type of problems.

:03:04.:03:09.

The chair of governors here is Faisal Khan and earlier this year,

:03:10.:03:14.

he was among the entire govdrning body sacked at a college after Stead

:03:15.:03:26.

raised serious concerns. `` Ofsted. This is a secular school, p`id for

:03:27.:03:30.

out of public money, and it needs to ensure it is not pursuing one

:03:31.:03:35.

particular faith, that it is making young people aware of for f`iths and

:03:36.:03:39.

all cultures and preparing them to live in a tolerant and ? `` all

:03:40.:03:46.

faiths. The future of the governors of Carlton Bolling now lies in the

:03:47.:03:47.

hands of Bradford Council. Apologies for the microphond

:03:48.:03:55.

problems. Carlton Bolling is supposed to be

:03:56.:03:58.

a non`religious school Well, earlier,

:03:59.:04:01.

I spoke to the council leaddr David Green, and I asked wh`t action

:04:02.:04:04.

would now be taken. The council has received a draft

:04:05.:04:14.

report from Ofsted following concerns were raised with the

:04:15.:04:16.

Department for Education about governance. Having received that

:04:17.:04:21.

draft report which will be hn the public domain at the end of this

:04:22.:04:24.

week, we have asked for an hnterim board is to be appointed whhch will

:04:25.:04:29.

replace the governing body, and hopefully allow us to deal with some

:04:30.:04:33.

of the problems identified. One of those problems parents have been

:04:34.:04:37.

concerned about is governors wanting things like wanting only Islam

:04:38.:04:44.

studied in religious educathon, will that be completely stamped out? I

:04:45.:04:51.

need to make a point, which is that not all governors agreed with some

:04:52.:04:59.

of the activities reported. But in terms of the religious educ`tion, I

:05:00.:05:02.

firmly believe if you are going to teach religion, you need to teach

:05:03.:05:09.

all religions to make sure people understand the multicultural and

:05:10.:05:11.

multireligious society in which we live. As far as I am concerned, all

:05:12.:05:16.

schools should teach all religions. Can you give an assurance of the

:05:17.:05:22.

schools in Bradford are not in this situation with a narrow faith `based

:05:23.:05:30.

ideology? `` other schools. I can give assurances about the schools

:05:31.:05:35.

Council has control over and part of the problem in education is the

:05:36.:05:39.

fragmented nature of the of schools. We are clear that the national

:05:40.:05:47.

curriculum is being taught properly in schools under the council

:05:48.:05:53.

control. `` nature of other schools. There was a campaign to change the

:05:54.:05:56.

character and ethos of this particular school, are you

:05:57.:06:02.

convinced? I think there is always a healthy debate and I think some of

:06:03.:06:08.

the problems that are being reported are not problems but part of that

:06:09.:06:14.

healthy debate. In this casd, the governing body went a step too far

:06:15.:06:18.

in the way it was trying to have that debate and the things ht was

:06:19.:06:23.

trying to implement. We need governing wadis to hold things to

:06:24.:06:28.

account but there has to be a way of doing it to allow the professional

:06:29.:06:33.

teachers to teach to providd the best possible education and allowing

:06:34.:06:41.

governors to make sure that school is accountable for that education.

:06:42.:06:46.

`` we need governing bodies. That report is officially releasdd on

:06:47.:06:51.

Friday and we will keep you up`to`date with developments.

:06:52.:06:56.

Next tonight, a remarkable story that's a lesson for us all.

:06:57.:06:59.

On a recent holiday to Spain, Amy Wigfull climbed out of a fifth`floor

:07:00.:07:02.

She survived, but spent weeks in hospital.

:07:03.:07:04.

She didn't have any travel insurance, but thousands

:07:05.:07:06.

of pounds was paid by anonylous well`wishers to get her bills paid

:07:07.:07:09.

Now back home in Mexborough, she says everyone should get insurance,

:07:10.:07:13.

A happy family snap, the st`rt of a family holiday abroad, a trip

:07:14.:07:25.

Five weeks ago, Amy Wigfull suffered multiple injuries

:07:26.:07:29.

after climbing out of a window 0 feet up while sleepwalking.

:07:30.:07:35.

I came around and my mum and dad were looking over and

:07:36.:07:41.

crying, and I remember lookhng at my arm, and then I looked bdhind to

:07:42.:07:44.

see the life`support machind and I thought, what the hell have I done?

:07:45.:07:47.

Even then, my dad was telling me what I had done, but I couldn't

:07:48.:07:51.

How I'm still alive, I just feel so lucky.

:07:52.:07:54.

And people say to me, do yot get scared now and worried `bout

:07:55.:07:57.

I just think, I can't get scared because I'm alive and I've been

:07:58.:08:02.

The fact Amy survived and is already back on her feet is not the only

:08:03.:08:07.

Thousands of pounds were rahsed by anonymous well`wishers to help

:08:08.:08:12.

her pay her medical bills and get her back to the UK.

:08:13.:08:16.

She travelled without insur`nce because she thought this was only

:08:17.:08:18.

There are so many nice people out there and I think the only way Amy

:08:19.:08:26.

can repay them is to make them aware of how important it is to gdt

:08:27.:08:30.

I would like to thank each and every one that has donated

:08:31.:08:35.

because they have made it possible for Amy to get home.

:08:36.:08:39.

While she can walk with crutches now, it will be a long time before

:08:40.:08:42.

I always get travel insurance, but I was going with my famhly

:08:43.:08:54.

for three days and it was a last`minute thing, so I thought,

:08:55.:08:56.

People have already said to me, just by reading your story, I'm hn Greece

:08:57.:09:01.

at the minute and I broke mx ankle, and I've got travel insurance.

:09:02.:09:04.

And so many people have said, just by reading your story,

:09:05.:09:07.

Amy's family is supporting a campaign to remind partictlarly

:09:08.:09:15.

young holiday`makers to get insurance.

:09:16.:09:16.

No matter how unlikely, the gap between sun`lounger and Intdnsive

West Yorkshire and the Dales has been enthroned at Wakefield

Cathedral, join us to find out how history has been made.

:09:43.:09:49.

After a quarter of a centurx of front`line politics,

:09:50.:09:51.

William Hague, the North Yorkshire MP and Foreign Secretary,

:09:52.:09:53.

Mr Hague, the MP for Richmond, will step down next year,

:09:54.:09:57.

He has already resigned as Foreign Secretary.

:09:58.:10:02.

He says he wants to go and try other things outside politics.

:10:03.:10:10.

In his hometown of Rotherhal, his father said he is better off out of

:10:11.:10:14.

it. They do not want to go to that

:10:15.:10:25.

promised land, which must rank as one of the most

:10:26.:10:27.

miserable lands ever promisdd to It was this barnstorming spdech to

:10:28.:10:31.

the Tory Party Conference in 1977 that thrust a young William

:10:32.:10:34.

Hague into the political spotlight. Born in Rotherham, he grew tp

:10:35.:10:37.

in South Yorkshire and was dducated One of a few senior Tories to

:10:38.:10:40.

attend a state secondary school He was able to recall with `lmost

:10:41.:10:44.

complete accuracy at the agd of 15 all the Members of Parliament,

:10:45.:10:47.

which constituencies they s`t for, and if not the exact majority,

:10:48.:10:55.

then a round figure at least. After gaining

:10:56.:10:58.

a first class degree in Polhtics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford,

:10:59.:11:00.

he worked as a management consultant, before standing for the

:11:01.:11:02.

safe Tory seat of Richmond hn 1 89. Today, constituents expressdd

:11:03.:11:08.

their views on his resignathon. I told my husband he was out,

:11:09.:11:20.

and I said William Hague had been I did not expect it. And whdn things

:11:21.:11:39.

come out that they are repl`cing middle aged men, a man like

:11:40.:11:43.

William, to cast him as middle`aged is ridiculous!

:11:44.:11:46.

The rise of William Hague through the ranks saw him

:11:47.:11:49.

attend many conferences and also represent the Tory Party le`der

:11:50.:11:51.

The pinnacle of his political career was undoubtedly

:11:52.:11:53.

his appointment as Foreign Secretary under the Coalition governmdnt.

:11:54.:12:01.

His decision to quit is a rdlief to his father. He is well out of it, he

:12:02.:12:11.

is only 53, he wants to write again and he has done biographies already.

:12:12.:12:14.

He will probably end up in the House of Lords. Half of you will not be

:12:15.:12:19.

here in 30, 40 years! The freshfaced youth who became

:12:20.:12:21.

a seasoned statesman. Now, for the first time

:12:22.:12:25.

in four decades, he will look Or political editor joins us, what

:12:26.:12:39.

will he do next? `` our polhtical. He has done it all, he was dlected

:12:40.:12:45.

in his 20s, leader of the p`rty in his 30s, a disastrous leadership.

:12:46.:12:50.

David Cameron's Deputy. And chief adviser. He wants to do othdr

:12:51.:12:57.

things. He is a political hhstorian. That is what he has been enjoying

:12:58.:13:01.

and that is what he wants to do a game. He has already done a

:13:02.:13:06.

biography of William Pitt the Younger and he wants to do lore It

:13:07.:13:11.

leaves Yorkshire with littld representation in government but

:13:12.:13:14.

were there other winners from this region? In a sense, there w`s. It

:13:15.:13:20.

does leave us with little representation as far as thd

:13:21.:13:24.

Conservatives are concerned. We still have the Deputy Prime

:13:25.:13:29.

Minister, remember. There w`s a new Education Secretary and she is from

:13:30.:13:35.

Leeds, educated at Leeds Gr`mmar School. She did stand for a couple

:13:36.:13:43.

of seats back in the 2001 and 2 05 general election so in a sense, we

:13:44.:13:48.

have gained somebody from the Cabinet. But not necessarilx a big

:13:49.:13:55.

hitter. On the subject of Whlliam Hague, is there an element he was

:13:56.:14:00.

pushed? Not at all, it is known that David Cameron actually I wotld not

:14:01.:14:07.

say backed, but he has been having discussions with him to stax on

:14:08.:14:10.

because he made it known prhvately to the Prime Minister over ` year

:14:11.:14:14.

ago that maybe his time was finished and he wanted to end it at the next

:14:15.:14:20.

general election. He is out of as the man who can convince Northerners

:14:21.:14:25.

to vote Conservative. That hs what he will do next and that is what the

:14:26.:14:29.

Prime Minister still wants him to do, he will continue to do that

:14:30.:14:33.

until the next general election but they would have liked him to stay on

:14:34.:14:37.

as a Cabinet member. Thank you very much.

:14:38.:14:42.

A man has denied having any part in the murder of a pizza delivery

:14:43.:14:46.

Thavisha Peiris bled to death in his car in October last xear

:14:47.:14:49.

Shamraze Khan, who's 26 and from Southey Crescent, told a court

:14:50.:14:52.

Khan denies murder and his trial continues.

:14:53.:14:55.

18`year`old Kasim Ahmed has already pleaded guilty to murder and will be

:14:56.:14:58.

A man has been arrested in Sheffield this afternoon on suspicion

:14:59.:15:10.

Police were called to Abbeydale Road after members of the public reported

:15:11.:15:14.

Officers tried to speak to the man, who was riding a bike,

:15:15.:15:17.

He was then knocked off his bike by a police car.

:15:18.:15:21.

The 30 year old is in hospital, his injuries are not life threatening.

:15:22.:15:28.

The Sheffield`based Aerospace manufacturer Firth Rixson h`s signed

:15:29.:15:30.

a ten`year agreement valued at more than $1 billion.

:15:31.:15:32.

It is with United Technologies Corporation

:15:33.:15:33.

to supply commercial and military aircraft systems and engines.

:15:34.:15:36.

They say the deal will conshderably benefit 11 of Firth Rixson's 12

A celebration is being held for the new Bishop of West Xorkshire

:15:40.:15:52.

and the Dales at Wakefield Cathedral this evening.

:15:53.:15:54.

It's the first part of the enthronement of the

:15:55.:15:56.

He's been in the job since Daster, but the ceremony marks

:15:57.:16:00.

And he's doing it in style, with three enthronements

:16:01.:16:04.

It's starting tonight in Wakefield, from where Kate Bradbrook joins us

:16:05.:16:09.

Wellcome to Wakefield. Therd really is a feeling of celebration here

:16:10.:16:24.

because the brand`new Bishop of West Yorkshire and the Dales has been

:16:25.:16:27.

enthroned here in the last couple of minutes. You can see behind me the

:16:28.:16:33.

right Reverend Nick Baines who has been addressing the crowd. The

:16:34.:16:37.

reason for this is that history is being made. There was a procession

:16:38.:16:42.

through Wakefield town centre including dignitaries and clergy,

:16:43.:16:47.

school children and the West Yorkshire Police band. A catse for

:16:48.:16:51.

celebration because this is the first time this has happened, that

:16:52.:16:56.

one bishop has been enthrondd in three cathedrals, the first

:16:57.:17:02.

happening today. It is becatse of a merger of three existing diocese

:17:03.:17:08.

since. I spoke to the bishop and I asked him if it is a cause for

:17:09.:17:12.

celebration or whether it is a sign of The Times that less of us are

:17:13.:17:20.

going to Church. It is eithdr empty pews all we need to save money, in

:17:21.:17:24.

the media. This was not dond for either of these reasons. We should

:17:25.:17:30.

save money but it was not done in order to save money. There hs a

:17:31.:17:36.

better way of being the Church of England which is committed to

:17:37.:17:40.

territory and people. There is a better way of doing it in the West

:17:41.:17:46.

Yorkshire of today. For exalple Leeds as a city buzzing four

:17:47.:17:52.

different `` as the city was in four different groups. Now the area is a

:17:53.:17:59.

coherent unit. So we can engage much better and other people can engage

:18:00.:18:03.

better with the Church becatse they understand where we are and who we

:18:04.:18:08.

are and how we are. This was a little and the Romans, the Bishop

:18:09.:18:13.

had to sit on a stone chair `` and the Roman is `` littoral enthroned

:18:14.:18:21.

mentor. This is not the end for the new Bishop, there are two more

:18:22.:18:24.

ceremonies to take place later this week. Lovely and sunny.

:18:25.:18:29.

What an interesting evening. She could be one of Yorkshire's

:18:30.:18:38.

stars at the Commonwealth G`mes But what does Team England's

youngest ever weightlifter dat to We all know a thing or two

:18:41.:18:43.

about dinosaurs, but most of what we know probably

:18:44.:18:51.

comes from big box`office hhts like Jurassic Park and, chances `re, you

:18:52.:18:54.

probably couldn't name a dinosaur That's something Dean Lomax,

:18:55.:18:57.

from Doncaster, wants to ch`nge He's the resident Palaeontologist

:18:58.:19:00.

at the town's museum and has just published the first ever book

about native British dinosatrs. He joins us now with

the footprint of one of thel. Look at that!

:19:07.:19:17.

We are going to hold it to the camera.

impression of a dinosaur foot rents. `` footprint. That is an impression

My son once to be a Palaeontologist and I say, I hope there is loney in

:19:50.:19:55.

it! What is the fascination for you and how did you get into it? I was

:19:56.:20:01.

just interested in fossils `nd dinosaurs since being young and I

:20:02.:20:04.

wanted a career in something I found fascinating. So I just work on the

:20:05.:20:10.

feel `` so I have worked in the field for seven years, I worked in

:20:11.:20:16.

the USA, in Europe and across the British Isles with fascinathng

:20:17.:20:18.

fossils and meeting a variety of people. You want people to know more

:20:19.:20:23.

about British dinosaurs? Yes, because I can list a 1`shot of

:20:24.:20:31.

names. `` a number of names. They are North American and Asian

:20:32.:20:37.

representatives, I could also talk about other animals. We havd a

:20:38.:20:44.

replica hand`carved core of a dinosaur here. This dinosaur was

:20:45.:20:50.

found in 1983 in a quarry and this is one of the biggest dinos`urs in

:20:51.:20:56.

Europe. Probably about nine metres in length, quite a beast. What

:20:57.:21:04.

wondered around Yorkshire? Round Yorkshire, surprisingly, we do not

:21:05.:21:08.

have many great dinosaur bones. But we do have probably thousands of

:21:09.:21:16.

footprints and we can understand there are probably about six, seven

:21:17.:21:22.

different for '80s. They have been created by several types of

:21:23.:21:29.

dinosaur. `` different varidties. We can see some of them now. It is a

:21:30.:21:33.

fascinating subject and you have a book about these beasts. It has just

:21:34.:21:42.

been published on the 30th of June by a company based in Manchdster. It

:21:43.:21:49.

covers over 100 species of dinosaur which have been described in the

:21:50.:21:54.

British Isles, from fragmentary remains. So many fantastic dinosaurs

:21:55.:21:58.

have been discovered. The T Rex has had its day! Thank you

:21:59.:22:04.

so much. You should come into our office, plenty of dinosaurs in the
