You're watching Friday's Look North Tonight.

:00:00.:00:00.

Aussies and Americans top the list as the county attracts a record

:00:00.:00:09.

We look at where they are spending their money.

:00:10.:00:13.

18 months in jail for a man described as

:00:14.:00:17.

a prolific vandal for his graffiti on South Yorkshire's railways.

:00:18.:00:29.

We are alive with thousands have turned out for the Leeds Festival.

:00:30.:00:35.

And I will have the forecast for the bank or the weekend. `` bank holiday

:00:36.:00:40.

weekend. Good evening and welcome to

:00:41.:00:46.

Friday's Look North. Tourism bosses

:00:47.:00:48.

in Yorkshire have something to smile And it's got nothing to do with

:00:49.:00:50.

the weather. Figures out today show there were

:00:51.:00:53.

a record number of foreign visitors to Yorkshire

:00:54.:00:55.

last summer and that's before The latest tourism figures

:00:56.:00:58.

for Yorkshire show record breaking The figures, from Visit Britain,

:00:59.:01:03.

look at July, There were 168,000 holiday visits

:01:04.:01:06.

to Yorkshire in that time. It's a record high and up 38%

:01:07.:01:12.

on the previous Summer. When it comes to overseas visitors

:01:13.:01:17.

they spent ?68 million And the figures show we're

:01:18.:01:20.

very popular with Australians. And they were followed by American

:01:21.:01:27.

tourists. In fact, those two groups alone

:01:28.:01:31.

spent ?28 million in the region. But as Danni Hewson reports,

:01:32.:01:34.

it's not all good news. It is no surprise the city of York

:01:35.:01:47.

approves the biggest draw for foreign visitors. Last year, numbers

:01:48.:01:53.

choosing to four key for its culture saw a major and the lucrative bump.

:01:54.:01:58.

At trendy hoteliers have been watching closely. We seem to be seen

:01:59.:02:03.

Americans coming back now and Europeans, what more Italians and

:02:04.:02:07.

French people staying with us know. Do you think the tour had an

:02:08.:02:11.

impact? At the time it had a very big impact. We had telephone call to

:02:12.:02:16.

three days after the event from a French family who had seen is on the

:02:17.:02:20.

television and they are coming to stay with us at the end of this

:02:21.:02:25.

month. 12 months, all this was just talk. But was enough to kick`start

:02:26.:02:30.

the world's interest in Yorkshire. Not just its heritage, but its

:02:31.:02:34.

countryside. But it was not all good news. The number of foreign visitors

:02:35.:02:40.

raised `` dendrites but was offset by a fall in their thousands from

:02:41.:02:50.

domestic tourist. This weekend, attractions at the walled garden

:02:51.:02:58.

linkup to help each other. Profits at this chip shop are up from last

:02:59.:03:03.

year. Many of those dining are British. That is not just about the

:03:04.:03:07.

individual business any more. It is about the town and how we can

:03:08.:03:13.

promote ourselves as a vibrant attraction was in Yorkshire and the

:03:14.:03:18.

country. And that is the key. Last year set the stage for 2014, his

:03:19.:03:24.

figures we expect to be through the roof. But what about those that

:03:25.:03:26.

missed out your Mac there are a lot missed out your Mac there are a lot

:03:27.:03:31.

of things that have to happen. We have to get a customer service high

:03:32.:03:34.

and keep investing in businesses. We have to make sure that people

:03:35.:03:40.

capitalise on the tour of Yorkshire and that it will go to the places

:03:41.:03:44.

where the true difference did not call. We had to get together over

:03:45.:03:49.

the next few months, do a big marketing campaign for Yorkshire.

:03:50.:03:54.

Our profile has never been higher and we must capitalise on that. It

:03:55.:03:55.

appeared as on the map and the appeared as on the map and the

:03:56.:04:02.

Chequers to keep us there. `` it put us on the map and the trick is to

:04:03.:04:04.

keep us there. Next tonight, a graffiti vandal has

:04:05.:04:10.

been sentenced to 18 months in prison for causing widespread damage

:04:11.:04:13.

to South Yorkshire's railways. Simon Sunderland daubed graffiti

:04:14.:04:15.

around the rail network in Sheffield,

:04:16.:04:17.

Rotherham and Chesterfield, Police say they have been trying

:04:18.:04:18.

to catch Bloodaxe for five years. Today, Simon Sunderland,

:04:19.:04:22.

the man behind the paint can, You may recognise some

:04:23.:04:24.

of Sunderland's earlier work. In the 90s, the tag "Fista" was all

:04:25.:04:27.

over South Yorkshire at railways, At that time he was called Britain's

:04:28.:04:30.

most prolific graffiti vandal. He was jailed for five years

:04:31.:04:44.

in 1996, his sentence later cut to I think it is generally two fingers

:04:45.:04:51.

up to authority, if I can put it In a rail environment,

:04:52.:04:56.

it is against the law. It's trespassing on Network Rail

:04:57.:04:59.

land. It is

:05:00.:05:00.

a dangerous environment to work Reported graffiti in our part of the

:05:01.:05:02.

world has actually dipped slightly. In 2012`13,

:05:03.:05:07.

there were 79 tags reported, In the last year, there were

:05:08.:05:08.

66 reported cases of repeated. Important to remember that this

:05:09.:05:18.

is only what has been reported. Of course, there is graffiti all

:05:19.:05:24.

over South Yorkshire's railways. British Transport Police says

:05:25.:05:29.

the Bloodaxe tag on its own cost The cost of cleaning that is

:05:30.:05:32.

passed on to the passenger. The cost to Network Rail to clean

:05:33.:05:36.

this runs to the tens When the operation started in 2009,

:05:37.:05:39.

I had an estimate from Network Art or vandalism is

:05:40.:05:46.

the usual argument. It is pretty clear what side

:05:47.:05:55.

of that debate Later, we are live at Wembley, which

:05:56.:06:16.

is all set for the old Yorkshire final. The players have had a

:06:17.:06:21.

training session inside, we'll be hearing from them and some of the

:06:22.:06:22.

fans. The Chief Constable of South

:06:23.:06:26.

Yorkshire Police , David Crompton, has accused the BBC of a

:06:27.:06:38.

cover`up over its reporting of the He's reported to have made

:06:39.:06:40.

the comments to the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee

:06:41.:06:45.

and MP, Keith Vaz. Mr Vaz wants to know how the BBC

:06:46.:06:47.

knew to be at Sir Cliff's home in Berkshire

:06:48.:06:51.

when it was searched last Thursday. He says Mr Crompton's claims are

:06:52.:06:53.

a matter of deep concern. The BBC's Director`General Lord Hall

:06:54.:06:55.

says his journalists acted Sir Cliff is being investigated over

:06:56.:06:58.

an allegation of a sex attack Both Lord Hall and Mr Crompton are

:06:59.:07:02.

to be questioned further next month. The Home Secretary Theresa May has

:07:03.:07:06.

warned South Yorkshire's Police Commissioner Shaun Wright she'll cap

:07:07.:07:09.

the grants she's awarded to the force for legal bills

:07:10.:07:12.

at the Hillsborough inquests. Costs for eight former police

:07:13.:07:15.

officers including David Duckenfield, the match commander

:07:16.:07:16.

on the day of the 1989 disaster, The Home Secretary says the level

:07:17.:07:20.

of reimbursement for the police must not exceed the

:07:21.:07:25.

sum being given to the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in

:07:26.:07:29.

the crush at the FA Cup semi`final. The family of a Bradford man who

:07:30.:07:38.

was stabbed to death two years ago have made a fresh appeal for

:07:39.:07:41.

information to find his killers. Clement Desmier, who was also known

:07:42.:07:44.

as Butch, was found dead at In a statement his family said they

:07:45.:07:47.

were struggling with the fact that Detectives believe his killers

:07:48.:07:53.

have links to the local community. We appeal to anybody who has any

:07:54.:07:59.

information to come forward. I'm still particularly keen to

:08:00.:08:02.

identify and trace the man who was seen with Butch

:08:03.:08:04.

the day before his murder at 4:30pm in the afternoon, entering Butch's

:08:05.:08:10.

house together with him. And also the people who were seen

:08:11.:08:13.

in the garden of his home address and entering his house at 3am

:08:14.:08:16.

on 23rd August 2012, the day that Police are looking

:08:17.:08:22.

for a man who sexually assaulted four different women on

:08:23.:08:28.

the same West Yorkshire bus route. CCTV of the suspect,

:08:29.:08:31.

who is thought to have committed offences once a month since May,

:08:32.:08:33.

have been released by the police. All the attacks took place

:08:34.:08:38.

on the 268 bus between Cleckheaton The most recent assault was

:08:39.:08:41.

on Tuesday. A unique collection

:08:42.:08:46.

of medical records from West Yorkshire's mental institutions

:08:47.:08:48.

has been recognised by the United Nations, as an irreplaceable

:08:49.:08:51.

source of social history. More than 5,000 photographs

:08:52.:08:56.

of patients who were treated at the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum

:08:57.:08:58.

are held at the West Yorkshire Kate Bradbrook has been

:08:59.:09:02.

for a look around. The faces of Yorkshire's mental

:09:03.:09:17.

health patients from as far back These are some of 5,000 photos and

:09:18.:09:21.

medical records from the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum being held by

:09:22.:09:29.

the West Yorkshire Archive Service. If you want to come through,

:09:30.:09:36.

we have some records out Today, the McDonagh brothers

:09:37.:09:38.

from Selby are here in Wakefield to find out about their grandmother,

:09:39.:09:42.

who was one such patient. You have the name at the top,

:09:43.:09:48.

and the occupation there, when she She did not want her

:09:49.:09:51.

photograph taken. She was admitted to

:09:52.:09:59.

the hospital with what is now She suffered from a number

:10:00.:10:10.

of illnesses and died there at the age of 41, something Kevin

:10:11.:10:15.

and Ian were unaware of. Never seen a photo of her,

:10:16.:10:28.

so it's a bit emotional, really. But it is excellent that

:10:29.:10:30.

the records are there. We have just been reading through

:10:31.:10:33.

them and I now I feel that I have There are nine miles worth

:10:34.:10:40.

of shelves with records dating back All of them are accessible to

:10:41.:10:44.

the public. These records have now been

:10:45.:10:46.

recognised by UNESCO as an irreplaceable source

:10:47.:10:49.

of medical and social history. A lot of people from England come

:10:50.:10:53.

to work, but also internationally. We have academics as well

:10:54.:10:59.

as family historians. It is good

:11:00.:11:01.

for it to get that recognition, that For this family it has been

:11:02.:11:05.

an emotional journey, It is hoped others will now

:11:06.:11:09.

be able to do the same. Sheffield's Kell Brook gets a civic

:11:10.:11:20.

reception after becoming boxing's And the 16th annual Leeds Festival

we get `` we do wrong on game day. We just get beaten by the better

team. We are looking forward to getting out on the field and

executing some of the things that we have planned. For the Castleford

can focus on the game. You want if you want to view what the ground is
