More than 200 claims over mining subsidence damage

When you went upstairs, you thought you were going to go down and come

back down through a whole rather than the stairs because it was so

unlevel. The new college that's training

village say they feel ignored after mining work

damaged their homes and businesses. People living in Hensall

near Kellingley Colliery have seen huge cracks appearing in walls

and ceilings; one home had to be The coal authority

is dealing with more And although mining stopped

at Kellingley in 2015, it's claimed This is one of the more sizeable

cracks. Ten years ago, Angela built her dream home. She never thought so

soon after moving in, the home she loved would start to fall apart.

This is our living room. This is where we first noticed the damage.

We watching TV and the ceiling started falling down. It has spread

all along the front and over time it has gone all the way round. I am

worried on the effect of the value and you do not know what is

underneath you. There are drops all around you. I just wonder what was

going on down there. This is an example of yet another house that

has been damaged by that underground mining. You might not be able to see

it but the flaw is tilting down to my right hand side. If you look at

this bedroom, you do not need to open the door because it opens

automatically. The owners have had to put some pics under it because

the bed head was falling so far down. The radiator fell off in the

middle of the night. Life is miserable. These are not the only

properties damage. Harold runs a group that helps villagers. He has

received hundreds of complaints and says the coal authority have been

carrying out substandard repairs. Treat people decently. Nobody asked

for this. Everybody in previous regions have been treated far

better. We feel we are at the end of the process and had been

disregarded. It was the last coal mine too close and Hensel will be

one of the last villagers to deal with problems like these. -- Maida

just a pond. Buckets in the hallway. When you went upstairs, you thought

you were going to go down and come back through a whole rather than

down the stairs. They had no choice but to sell. We were not getting

anywhere with UK coal. We were getting the wrong answers to the

questions. The time was to go. We did not want to. It broke our hearts

to leave the house. They are now enjoying their retirement in a new

home but for many, this ordeal is just getting started.

Problems are continuing. Yes, it shot back into thousand and 15. It

has been the coal authority that have been dealing with the

complaints. They have sent us a statement and they have had more

than 250 claims so far. There are around 340 homes. That is the

majority of people living here. They go on to say they have a dedicated

team of experts working closely with locals and have spent more than ?1

million settling claims in the area. The can only carry out repairs when

they know the coal mining substance will cause no further damage. That

may well be some comfort but everyone I have spoken to says they

are not happy with how this has been dealt with so far. Thank you.

The talk in Doncaster was about investment in Yorkshire,

but a report out today suggests our region is actually

going to miss out on millions of pounds of funding in future.

An influential research group says the North West of England

is set to receive four times as much money for its transport networks,

David Rhodes has been looking at this.

What is it about? The transport infrastructure, it sounds like a

boring subject but it is vital. If you have been stuck on a traffic jam

this evening or you have been stood on a train platform and the train

has not arrived, that is Yorkshire's transport system feeling you. If the

transport system was not failing, the economy potentially would be

better off. More jobs would be cremated because they would be more

economic activity. -- created. This report today has looked at transport

infrastructure spending per person. It shows that we know about the

north and south divide. London is going to get ?190 per person in

transport infrastructure spending and the next five or so years. We

know about the north and south divide. Yorkshire is going to get

ten times less. ?190 per person. What they are drawing attention to

is this, the north-west of England is going to get just over ?600 in

transport infrastructure spending in the next couple of years. Despite

these figures, they say there is no east and west divide in the Northern

Powerhouse. I don't think there is

an east/west divide. What we are seeing

is certain projects advanced of those in Yorkshire

and Humber and the north-east. What we need to see

now is investment on both sides of the Pennines,

to make sure these two fantastic cities

of Manchester and Leeds can connect

together and the other amazing places in between So that we have

a really well-connected city system A well-connected city system he

says. Any chance of Yorkshire getting a Fiat deal? The Government

says they are committed to the Northern Powerhouse. They talk about

HS2 coming to Yorkshire and the north-west. I will leave you with

this thought, the Northern Powerhouse conference starts

tomorrow. Guess where it is being held? Yes, that's right. Manchester.

Nisha as one of the lucky few who managed to escape and now

she is a successful fashion designer.

I was not allowed to go anywhere or do anything I wanted to. It was all

about what... Pleasing my family and what everyone else wanted. I was

beaten up continuously. In 2014, Britain made forced marriage a

criminal offence and anyone found guilty of this could be jailed for

up to a maximum of seven years. Despite this legal protection, Leeds

-based charity says there has been a significant increase in the number

of calls coming in to the helpline from Yorkshire. Last year, the

charity received 7062 calls nationally. Since 2015, it has seen

a 21% increase in the number of calls coming in from Yorkshire. We

are still dealing with the tip of the iceberg. In Bradford, you have a

significant minority group. In my opinion, the victims are extremely

isolated because they are not seeing enough reporting. In order to tackle

this issue, the Home Office set up the forced marriage unit in this

building in 2005. Since then, the team has helped thousands of victims

from over 90 countries. We are not saying it doesn't happen within the

Pakistani community, we're seeing it does not only happen within the

Pakistani community. It is maybe not being reported. Her family still

refuse to accept her but she is glad she did not suffer in silence and

hopes people learn from her experience.

I've been speaking to Jasvinder Sanghera who you saw in that report.

She told me schools aren't doing enough to tackle the problem.

Schools are at the heart of revenge. When I look at the issues across

West Yorkshire, we are dealing with repatriations of British subjects

been taken out of Yorkshire and forced into marriages and brought

back to West Yorkshire. They were in a classroom before the left. We are

going to prevent it in the classroom. Schools are so reluctant

with the fear of dealing with the issue, engaging with the issue,

offending communities. This has got to stop because this is child

protection. Other young girls and boys growing up in school, perhaps

the art younger than 16 who are living in fear. -- are at there?

Without a doubt. There are people calling the helpline. These young

people are calling the helpline petrified because they are just

wanting to go to school and go out with their mates. This can be deemed

as shameful behaviours and enough of a trigger to have them forced into a

marriage or to have them physically abused. These stories are traumatic.

There are people running away from home. What is going through their

minds? When people leave, they are living within fear. Yet their family

are tracking them down and harming them. The lead isolated lives

because they have been shamed by their families will stop they are

important people that we support also on those people will be coming

from other regions into west Yorkshire with that experience. It

is a big problem. Thank you very much for talking to us tonight.

A man's been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder

after a 23-year-old was shot dead in Sheffield over the weekend.

The victim's been named as Assel Al-Essaie

He was shot in, or close to, a black Mercedes on Saturday

Police say they do not believe his murder is linked to any other

shootings in the city. A man who killed a primary school

surpassed, by his mental strength. The reality is that I'm

upset, I'm hurting. I have the days when I don't

He does the splits. He is back in the gym and working hard. He is so

strong mentally. It is incredible. They must be tough for him. We

support from his family as well, which must be important. You know he

will be back bigger and stronger. Bring on the Championships. Have

faith. Right, let's move on, girls. Now when Raj Sedha from Leeds bought

a battered old Porsche in 2003 he planned to dismantle it to use

for spare parts. But that was before he discovered it

had belonged to one of the Beatles. After paying two thousand

pounds for the 928 model, Raj's wife spotted George Harrison's

name in the log-book. He then began to carefully restore

the rare car and is now hoping it will fetch ten times

as much at auction. # I've got my mind set on you. By

anyone's standards, the Porsche 928 is a nice car, but this car is extra

special because it belonged to a beetle. George Harrison bought the

car new in 1980 and had it for four years. 81980 Porsche 928 like this

one in condition, will usually make a lot of money but because this has

a history, auctioneers estimate it will make around ?20,000. Since

2003, the car has belonged to this man. He got it for ?2000 and wanted

to strip out the gearbox for another car. He had no idea he had just

bought a piece of music memorabilia. He had no idea who George Harrison

was at all. He came out and said, do not touch that car. It belongs to

George Harrison. Is that the guy I bought the car off? No, it belonged

to George Harrison. Who is he? The Beatles. The car was in a bad neck

when he bought it but luckily his knowledge of mechanics is better

than his music history and he was able to restore the Porsche. Iss it

is at the warehouse and it is going to go under the hammer. We hope it

will do 20,000 but this is the rear car in itself, quite a collectable

card, we are hoping it will do 20000 and who knows where it will go? If

he wants to drive my car down a long and winding road or use it as a

day-tripper, the auction takes place on the 20th of March. A car that

cushioned the buttocks of a beetle. I wonder what we would get that

cushioned your buttocks? Not a lot. You can come for a ride, after the

programme, it is up to you. Let me show you some beautiful pictures.

Some lovely colours they are. The second one that came in was in west

Yorkshire and that is the sky seen. Keep your pictures coming in. You

can treat them to me. The very changeable week. We managed 14

Celsius today. Tomorrow looks mild with some sunshine and rain later.

Looking at the developments into Thursday, this is a nasty system. It

will bring high winds and rain. Perhaps some snow over high ground.

We will keep an eye on that one. Monday evening, it is fine across

much of Yorkshire. The chance of some rain and drizzle into the Peak

District and parts of the mainland tonight. North Yorkshire looks fine

with highs of five Celsius. That strong west or south west wind will

ease. The Sunrise is at 7:40am. Again, in Bridlington at just after

midnight tonight. Plenty of sunshine around and a bit more over South

Yorkshire. That will break up over the course of the morning. The cloud

increases once more from the west. That cloud will bring rain into

Pennine areas in the afternoon. That rain spreading across all parts on

Tuesday evening. Before that rain comes across, it should be very

nice. Temperatures of 11 or 12 Celsius. With less wind, it should

feel very pleasant outdoors. Tuesday night looks wet and windy. Wednesday

morning is wet first thing but Wednesday afternoon looks dry with

some sunshine and potentially some adverse weather. Very wet and very

windy and potentially... Cold by Friday. That is the forecast. 18 in

Kew Gardens down in London. Tropical. Well, we have had enough

of old bottoms and the rest of it. We will see you again at 10:30pm.

Goodbye.
