PC Suzanne Hudson suffered serious injuries

:01:09.:01:09.

while responding to a routine call`out at a house last December.

She had only been working on the frontline for a matter of days.

centimetres from where Suzanne Hudson the standing outside. The

:02:06.:02:09.

court heard that she didn't know what had hit her. When she looked

:02:10.:02:13.

down at her arm, it was described as a bloody and tangled mess. She was

:02:14.:02:18.

struggling to breathe and blood was coming from her mouth. As she lay

:02:19.:02:23.

injured, James Leslie was s`id to have cycled off, mocking thd

officers. He was arrested bx armed police several hours later. In a

:02:30.:02:36.

police interview, James Leslie claimed:

:02:37.:02:43.

The jury has been told that PC Suzanne Hudson suffered significant

and permanent scarring but has since made a good recovery. The trial is

in England. Today the main iconic pit tower

at Maltby Colliery near Rotherham The pit produced coal

:03:03.:03:04.

for more than 100 years. At its peak, more than two

:03:05.:03:08.

with just two pits at Hatfidld A stark contrast to the indtstry's

landscape. Today, they gathdred to watch it fall. Including those who

:03:48.:03:51.

had a very personal connecthon. Very sad. It was built before I worked at

:03:52.:04:03.

the colliery. It is sad to see. These locals came to pay thdir last

respects. Sunk just over a century ago, it finally closed last year,

its owners leaning dangerous geological conditions underground.

:04:18.:04:27.

Today was the last stand. There were design drawings of where we could

:04:28.:04:35.

pre`weaken the structure. This is a brilliant job. They are all

:04:36.:04:41.

different. We find it interdsting. Let me give you a sense of scale

:05:03.:05:07.

here, I can only see one other. And that pet has long close. For now,

:05:08.:05:15.

let's enjoy what will be a bittersweet show.

:05:16.:05:45.

Spectacular. Sobering. And eventually silent. The dust of the

:05:46.:05:55.

mining generation at Maltby Colliery settles for the last time. We may

:05:56.:06:01.

never see their like again. That is very sad. You can sde the

other tower in North Nottinghamshire, but now thd one at

:06:11.:06:14.

Maltby Colliery has gone forever. Many in the mining communitx will be

of her heartbreak after her baby was stillborn when midwives

and successfully resuscitatdd. They failed to provide April with

:07:22.:07:26.

the reasonable standard of treatment that a midwife should

:07:27.:07:28.

have provided her with. They should have been taking foetal

settlement by the trust and her case has now been referred to thd Nursing

:08:12.:08:14.

and Midwifery Council. In the rest of the day's news,

:08:15.:08:24.

a man has appeared in court this morning charged with the murders

:08:25.:08:27.

of two people in Bradford. 48`year`old Helen Dawson

:08:28.:08:35.

and 40`year`old Ivor Spratek were found dead at a house on

:08:40.:08:41.

have been arrested in a six`month operation organised

by the National Crime Agencx. It targeted people accessing

fire for failing to meet targets for responding to the most serious

:08:52.:09:04.

999 calls across South Yorkshire. The trust needs to attend 74% of all

:09:05.:09:10.

such calls within eight minttes NHS Clinical Commissioners

:09:11.:09:13.

in Barnsley say it dropped to 6 % in April and say

:09:14.:09:15.

the service there is deteriorating. Ambulance staff in the union UNISON

begin a ballot for industrial action tomorrow over

:09:18.:09:19.

staffing cuts and what they say are But management say

:09:20.:09:22.

the main reason for missing targets is the increase in demand,

:09:23.:09:32.

of up to 19% on some days. We probably have 100 more staffing

:09:33.:09:48.

posts than last year. There is a national shortage of paramedics We

:09:49.:09:52.

are offering incentives for paramedics to come and work for us.

:09:53.:09:56.

It takes time to get people into the organisation.

:09:57.:09:58.

A former policeman has told the Hillsborough inquest it was

:09:59.:10:00.

obvious that a major incident should have been declared by the thme he

:10:01.:10:03.

walked onto the pitch at ten past three on the day of the dis`ster.

:10:04.:10:07.

Ken Jones, who was a South Yorkshire Police sergdant

:10:08.:10:09.

at the time, said it was cldar that fans hadn't invaded the pitch.

:10:10.:10:12.

He also told the jury some of his police colleagues looked

:10:13.:10:15.

confused and dazed as they tried to set up a cordon.

:10:16.:10:28.

The Department for Education has been asked to decide on the future

:10:29.:10:36.

at a college in Bradford whhch is claimed to be feeling to safeguard

:10:37.:10:43.

children from the potential risks of extremism. The Department for

:10:44.:10:51.

Education has confirmed it has received an application to remove

:10:52.:10:56.

the governing body. It is no considering what to do next.

:10:57.:10:59.

David Cameron has praised Yorkshire for the way it hosted the fhrst two

:11:00.:11:03.

At Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime, the Conservative MP for

:11:04.:11:06.

Harrogate and Knaresborough Andrew Jones said his constituency received

:11:07.:11:09.

Can I first of all thank my honourable friend for the w`rm

:11:10.:11:16.

welcome that he gave me and the people of Harrowgate gave md for the

:11:17.:11:20.

Tour de France. The complethon of that final stage marred onlx by Mark

:11:21.:11:29.

Cavendish's tragic accident. It showed Yorkshire in its best light.

:11:30.:11:32.

It has emerged that the Mayor of Rotherham who stood down two

:11:33.:11:35.

weeks ago did so over alleg`tions of sexual activity with a child

:11:36.:11:41.

Councillor Barry Dodson was in office

:11:42.:11:42.

for just three weeks before he resigned, citing personal rdasons.

:11:43.:11:45.

This is rather town hall whdre Barry Dodson was installed at the start of

:11:46.:12:05.

last month. Three weeks latdr, he suddenly announced his resignation.

:12:06.:12:09.

He said he needed to step down for personal reasons. We now understand

:12:10.:12:13.

that Barry Dodson faces an allegation that in 1987 he

:12:14.:12:19.

indecently assaulted a 13`ydar`old girl. South Yorkshire Policd have

:12:20.:12:23.

confirmed to us that on Friday the arrested 66`year`old man from

:12:24.:12:27.

Rotherham area and say he h`s been released on bail last investigations

:12:28.:12:32.

continue. People will be asking, what is his

:12:33.:12:35.

future? Well, Barry Dodson has been on

:12:36.:12:42.

Rotherham Council for 14 ye`rs. Although he has stepped down as me

:12:43.:12:46.

and resign from the Labour Party, he is still a counsellor and wd

:12:47.:12:51.

understand will still receive his council allowances. He has not made

:12:52.:12:55.

any comment to ours. Rotherham council says it cannot commdnt on

:12:56.:13:00.

what is now a police matter. In his register of interests, Barrx Dodson

:13:01.:13:07.

lists that he is a life member and instructor of a local karatd, Bob ``

:13:08.:13:17.

karate club. A representative of the karate club has said that B`rry

:13:18.:13:22.

Dodson has not had any involvement with them for ten years. We have

:13:23.:13:30.

tried to contact Barry Dodson for comment but he has not responded.

:13:31.:13:33.

The number of people who ard unemployed in Yorkshire has fallen

:13:34.:13:35.

Figures for the period betwden March and May show there were 222,000

:13:36.:13:40.

That is 16,000 fewer than the previous quarter.

:13:41.:13:43.

The regional unemployment r`te is now 7.9%, which is

:13:44.:13:45.

But how difficult is it for young migrants here in Xorkshire

:13:46.:13:49.

to find work, especially if English isn't their first language?

:13:50.:13:51.

More than 4,000 Roma people have come to Rotherham

:13:52.:13:53.

Our reporter has been to thd first event of its kind there, ailed at

:13:54.:13:58.

Traditional Roma music being enjoyed by traditional Roma people.

:13:59.:14:15.

But this is not Slovakia or the Czech Republic.

:14:16.:14:18.

Teenagers here have been invited to a special event,

:14:19.:14:21.

encouraging them to aim high when it comes to employment.

:14:22.:14:23.

Where our students have comd from, they have been discriminated

:14:24.:14:26.

against, so they have never known anything other than digging up

:14:27.:14:28.

the roads or becoming a bricklayer, which are good professions, but this

:14:29.:14:31.

has given them the opportunity to look at what they

:14:32.:14:34.

This has all been funded by Roma Matrix,

:14:35.:14:41.

a European project working to combat racism and encourage integr`tion.

:14:42.:14:45.

15 and 16`year`olds here have just completed special

:14:46.:14:48.

Some are now on their path to a career.

:14:49.:15:04.

I was going into schools to teach for two hours.

:15:05.:15:06.

I have been teaching childrdn reading and helping them.

:15:07.:15:09.

We jumped at the chance to promote opportunities and for our children

:15:10.:15:13.

Dominica will go on to train as a teaching assistant.

:15:14.:15:36.

The hope is that by raising aspirations, mord Roma

:15:37.:15:38.

teenagers in South Yorkshird can go on to have successful careers.

:15:39.:15:41.

An argument has broken out hn one of Sheffield's prettiest pl`ces

:15:42.:15:43.

with criticism over the council storing waste at Graves Park.

:15:44.:15:49.

Hundreds of bin bags were pictured there earlier this week.

:15:50.:15:52.

The Council says it is sorthng the problem out, but the Frhends

:15:53.:15:55.

In a city that celebrates its greenery, this is

:15:56.:16:07.

It was gifted to the people in 1925.

:16:08.:16:13.

Groups looking after the park now say he would not

:16:14.:16:20.

Rubbish is brought here frol other Sheffield parks, ready for disposal.

:16:21.:16:25.

These pictures from last week to a backlog because

:16:26.:16:28.

Volunteers have worked hard to restore this area over 15 ydars

:16:29.:16:32.

The council say they are working hard to clear the depot.

:16:33.:16:35.

But the group say they should not be using this land for rubbish at all.

:16:36.:16:43.

Another wagon load is arrivhng and that should not happen.

:16:44.:16:45.

Sheffield Council sent us a statement.

:16:46.:16:59.

The land here, all of it including that, is part of the park.

:17:00.:17:03.

Just because someone has put a fence around it and startdd

:17:04.:17:05.

filling up with rubbish doesn't stop it from being part of the p`rk.

:17:06.:17:08.

It is only full of rubbish because someone has put that their.

:17:09.:17:12.

It is only full of rubbish because someone has put that there.

:17:13.:17:15.

The backlog should be clear by the end of the week.

:17:16.:17:18.

The council says they are h`ppy to meet with the group

:17:19.:17:20.

The national boxing champ h`nding out food on the streets before

:17:21.:17:33.

And celebrating the road to recovery.

:17:34.:17:40.

A new exhibition featuring the techniques used

:17:41.:17:43.

Our top golfers have been doing their final preparations today for

:17:44.:17:56.

Sheffield's Danny Willett h`d to battle with some heavy showdrs

:17:57.:18:03.

on the course at Royal Liverpool this afternoon.

:18:04.:18:08.

But it didn't seem to affect his mood.

:18:09.:18:14.

He and fellow qualifier from Huddersfield, Chris Hanson

:18:15.:18:16.

will be sharing the fairways with Tiger Woods,

:18:17.:18:18.

Willett and Westwood both start in the afternoon.

:18:19.:18:28.

It is unbelievable. Quite h`rd to put into words what it is lhke to

:18:29.:18:37.

participate in this and not just watch. If there is rain, it will be

:18:38.:18:48.

soft and it is quite easy to score. But if it is for, it is mord tricky.

:18:49.:18:53.

It will be interesting to sde how the week will play out. We wish them

:18:54.:18:59.

well. We don't know anything about golf!

:19:00.:19:08.

Following on from a triumphant London Olympics,

:19:09.:19:10.

Commonwealth Games. Around 60 athletes from this part of the world

:19:11.:19:14.

Amongst them will be a boxer from Leeds who's already

:19:15.:19:18.

But for Kez Ashfaq, life isn't just about what happens

:19:19.:19:21.

It is Friday evening in Leeds. Kez Ashfaq has joined other young

:19:22.:19:34.

Muslims from the region to share food and compositions with people

:19:35.:19:40.

who spend their nights the street. I thought the idea was brilli`nt.

:19:41.:19:44.

These people have been throtgh hard times. Some of them are starving for

:19:45.:19:55.

this is not the work of an official charity, the group simply chooses to

:19:56.:20:01.

get together every last Friday of the month to give food to others

:20:02.:20:07.

Ramadan. This is good for us. We Ramadan. This is good for us. We

:20:08.:20:20.

know we are doing good. On ` wet night, their commitment is warmly

:20:21.:20:28.

appreciated. It is supportive. It helps. Happy to be here. Yot catch

:20:29.:20:36.

up with old friends that yot don't usually see. You don't know if they

:20:37.:20:44.

are alive and kicking basic`lly The day job for Kez Ashfaq is boxing. He

:20:45.:20:52.

is already a junior Commonwdalth gold medallist and national

:20:53.:20:57.

champion. He spends the week with the British squad in Sheffidld. It

:20:58.:21:01.

is a tough regime that is even more exhausting through Ramadan. We

:21:02.:21:07.

believe that the way that the fast makes us stronger. Hopefullx that

:21:08.:21:11.

will help me in the Commonwdalth Games. Training hard now. I am

:21:12.:21:18.

showing the Commonwealth Gales that I am ready. Like every tournament,

:21:19.:21:33.

you go there to win. In the gym is someone who knows all about winning

:21:34.:21:38.

gold medals. He is really skilled. It is nice to have someone to work

:21:39.:21:46.

with who is at my level. We are there to teach each other. He wants

:21:47.:21:52.

successful stock if he loses, he will come back. He will be training

:21:53.:21:59.

twice as hard. For now, shadow boxing. But when the panties are

:22:00.:22:04.

being thrown for real, Kez @shfaq will be ready. And whatever happens

:22:05.:22:09.

in Glasgow, he says he will continue to be a force in and out of the

:22:10.:22:15.

boxing ring. He is a great inspiration for a lot

:22:16.:22:20.

of young people. And the Commonwealth Games get underway next

:22:21.:22:25.

week. Tomorrow, we will havd a preview with Jessica Ennis`Hill s

:22:26.:22:34.

coach. Sadly she will not bd there as she is slightly busy!

:22:35.:22:45.

A new exhibition is celebrating the link between water and medicine

:22:46.:22:51.

which has opened in west Yorkshire. It has been designed with the help

:22:52.:22:56.

from injured veterans. During the First World War, battles

:22:57.:23:00.

were not just being fought on the Western Front. There were d`ily

:23:01.:23:04.

fights, losses and victories for medical teams on the front line A

:23:05.:23:08.

new exhibition in Leeds aims to celebrate the progress made over the

:23:09.:23:19.

past 100 years. Both of these soldiers were injured in

:23:20.:23:24.

Afghanistan. I probably would have died in the First World War. A

:23:25.:23:26.

double amputation. The first guests were sever`l

:23:27.:23:44.

injured soldiers. This man was awarded The Victoria Cross for

:23:45.:23:56.

heroism in Iraq. My treatment from the battlefield to rehabilitation

:23:57.:24:02.

was amazing. You have to de`l with whatever life throws at you every

:24:03.:24:09.

day. 100 years after the war to end all wars, conflict continues. But

:24:10.:24:15.

scientists and doctors from around the world have made huge

:24:16.:24:20.

discoveries. And hopefully, a time`lapse video has been shot at

:24:21.:24:45.

one of our stately homes, showing a painting featuring the Queen Mother

:24:46.:24:49.

and Prince William being installed. The exhibition also features the

:24:50.:24:57.

first public display of the official christening portrait of Prince

:24:58.:25:03.

George. You are a culture vulture? H

:25:04.:25:12.

certainly am! Let me show you some beautiful

:25:13.:25:17.

pictures. This was Castle Hhll at sunset. This reservoir look

:25:18.:25:29.

beautiful. Keep sending in xour pictures. Let's look at the rooftop

:25:30.:25:38.

camera. We have had a fairlx lively cold front moving into the

:25:39.:25:48.

Northwest. There has been some rain, sharp showers from thd

:25:49.:25:52.
