Good evening and welcome to the late Look North. | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
Tonight: A Sheffield man who attacked a police officdr | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
with an axe has been found guilty of grievous bodily harm. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
And will a legal precedent tsed to clear Chesterfield strikdr | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Ched Evans of rape mean wom`n are afraid to come | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
A jury has decided that a m`n who fractured a police officer's | :00:21. | :00:41. | |
skull with an axe had not mdant to kill her, but they have ruled | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Nathan Sumner did mean to c`use PC Lisa Bates serious harm | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Here's our crime correspondent John Cundy. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Nathan Sumner, who launched his savage attack one evening in April, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
when police were called to deal with a domestic incident | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Lisa Bates is still off-dutx, recovering six months | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
One of her fingers was almost severed in the attack. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
She ran down steps to escapd, bleeding from her serious wounds, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Sumner run across the road `nd went amok in a supermarket nearbx, | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Four officers were injured in the incident. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
A short trial at Sheffield Crown Court heard that Nathan Sumner had | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
been acting strangely in thd days before the incident, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
swinging an axe around, which he kept in the flat. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Nathan Sumner always admittdd the attack on PC Lisa Bates, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
but the jury had to decide whether his psychotic state | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
In the end, they cleared Sulner of attempted murder, | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
but found him guilty of meaning to cause Lisa Bates | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
It's a stark reminder of injuries that officers risk every dax | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
going about their daily bushness and I'd like to take | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the opportunity to remind pdople that these are people, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
sons and daughters and mums and dads, and they have pardnts | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
evenings and sports days like everybody else, but thdy go | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
to work as ordinary people, doing an extraordinary job. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Officers risk these types of injuries on a daily basis. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
One West Yorkshire MP is a parliamentary MP | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
for tougher penalties for those who attack the police. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
This is one of the most serhous examples of assaults | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
We've had an incident in Gl`sgow today where there has been ` hit | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
I'm calling on the Government to do much more about this. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
We've seen a reduction in the number of police officers | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
on the streets, meaning they are increasingly vulnerable. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Lisa Bates has thanked colldagues for their support and the strgeons | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
A group of female Labour MPs has written to the Attorney Gendral | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
warning that women will be less likely to report rape | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
because of the legal preceddnt set in the retrial of the Chestdrfield | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Evidence about the sexual hhstory of the complainant was used | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
in the retrial of the footb`ller, who was acquitted this month. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
This was 2012 - Ched Evans jailed after being found guilty of rape. | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
And this was earlier this month - Evans found not guilty in a retrial, | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
his conviction having been quashed in April. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
The difference between the two trials, evidence | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
of the complainant's sexual history from two men who had | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
It led to her being questioned in court, not just about thd night | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
in this hotel with Evans, but on intimate details of her sex | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
In a letter to the Attorney General, six Yorkshire MPs have now | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
voiced their concern that this sets a dangerous precedent. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
There are nearly 40 female LPs calling for a change in the law | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
The type of evidence used in the Ched Evans case has only been | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
used once in the past 16 ye`rs and while MPs are worried it | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
will become more common, many legal experts disagree. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
The law, as it stands, is extremely restrictive. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
It's very, very difficult to introduce evidence | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
of a complainant's previous sexual history, as it's called, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
unless the judge is satisfidd that there would be an injustice | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
if it did not happen, if it would make | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
Ched Evans has been back on the football pitch this season | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
trying to put the last few years behind him, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
but his case is likely to continue making headlines | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Katrina Palin works for a charity which helps rape victims in Leeds. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
She says she's troubled by recent events. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
We know from supporting womdn and girls that a major barrher | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
for them coming forward is concern that things like their sexu`l | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
history will be raised in court and made public and used to make it | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
look as if they're lying about the allegations that they ve | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
made, and I just feel that, with a case like this, | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
which has had so much publicity and been in the media so much, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
it's really going to compound the fears that women may already | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
have and increase that barrher to them reporting. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
This is quite an unusual case, though, isn't it? | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
And the complainant's sexual history was used because it was so close | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
to the alleged incident itsdlf, so there's no suggestion th`t this | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
will become common practice, so what are your worries thdre? | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Firstly, there is the perception of women. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
As I say, we already know, despite the fact this kind | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
of evidence hasn't been used 16 years, it is a major concern that | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
women cited as a reason that they don't want to comd | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
forward, so having something like this out so publicly whll only | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
increase those concerns and compound those fears. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
I think also there's the perception that the general public may have. | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
It compounds a of common around rape and around behaviours that women may | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
have that try to put the responsibility for the rape | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
on two women rather than onto the perpetrator. | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
I think what we'd really like to see is that there is more movemdnt | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
from Government and at all levels, really, it was looking at consent | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
education to prevent rape h`ppening and also things like it is lade | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
obvious that this kind of evidence isn't often used in court | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
and we would support the motion that the Labour MPs have put forward | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
to the Attorney General arotnd making sure that this type | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
of evidence can't be used routinely and that there have to be vdry | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
exceptional circumstances for a woman's sexual historx ever | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Two men have been arrested in connection with a fire at a house | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
in Wakefield in which a father and daughter were killed. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Andrew and Kiera Broadhead died following the blaze in Stanley | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
The men, aged 24 and 28, were arrested on suspicion | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
The new Batley and Spen MP Tracy Brabin has taken | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Mrs Brabin swore the oath of allegiance in the House of Commons. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
The former Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders actress won | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
a by-election following the death of Jo Cox. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
The Hepworth Gallery in Wakdfield has launched a prestigious sculpture | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
prize to celebrate its fifth birthday with ?30,000 up | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
It's hoped it will become as well known as the Turner Prize. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Cathy Killick's been to see those shortlisted. | :07:21. | :07:40. | |
It's the work of just four `rtists, but they show an incredibly diverse | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
They're in competition for the brand-new Hepworth Prize | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
for Sculpture, worth ?30,000, so high stakes. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
We were surprised to find there was no major prize | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
for an artform that we excel in in this country, | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
so we thought we ought to do something about that, | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
First up, but in no particular order, Helen Marten. | :08:02. | :08:13. | |
She's the youngest competitor, and her work plays with | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
So is this sculpture of a shirt blowing in the wind one, | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
And is this a painting or a sculpture? | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
It's reminiscent of an archaeological dig | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
Whatever - it's mind-boggling and impossible to imagine how | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
Our third shortlisted artist is Steven Claydon. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
His work includes sound and smell, but it's very subtle. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
His miced-up busts emit a low throb like a heartbeat, | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
but it's actually the sound of the lamp beneath | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Born in 1942, David Medalla is the oldest artist, | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
yet his sculptures have a childlike exuberance. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
His bubble fountain evolves over time and so will these blank | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
canvases, as anyone is invited to leave their mark in stitches | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
The winner will be announced next month and there is a public vote, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
It will be another predomin`ntly dry week across Yorkshire and the north | :09:12. | :09:36. | |
Midlands. Meteorologically, things are changing. After a fine `nd | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
lovely day tomorrow, the jet stream is on the move at last and will | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
position itself to the north of us, meaning high pressure to thd south | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
ensures quite a lot of dry weather, as I can show you on the ch`rt for | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Tuesday. We're going to get rid of these. It has dominated the quarter. | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
Any weather fronts are going to be weak indeed. A bit of drizzle for | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
the Pennines and elsewhere on Wednesday, elsewhere the best of the | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
sunshine towards the East Coast and it will be quite windy. By now, it | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
is quite there was light showers but most of us dry with clear pdriods. A | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
touch of frost possible and western areas, lows of three Celsius and fog | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
in the Vale of York which could take a couple of hours to clear hn the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
morning. Then it is a dry and bright day. There will be some patchy cloud | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
around but there will be pldnty of sunshine in many places, top | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
temperatures around 12 Celshus. As we head through Tuesday evening and | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Tuesday night, that's when we get the wind to change and we gdt the | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
wind coming in from the west, southwest. It will bring quhte a bit | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
of cloud so on Wednesday morning, it is frost-free. The best of the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
brightness across central and eastern areas and quite mild weather | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
when the sun comes out. That's it from us. I'll | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
weekend, more of the same, mainly dry and feeling very mild. Now your | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
national weather. Good evening, major changes in the | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
weather over the next couple of days, the result being it will turn | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
milder by day and also by night A breeze picking up, a westerly, | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
something we have not seen much of this month. But there will not be a | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
great deal of rain around. We did have rain today across the | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
south-west, leaden skies in Bristol, not much of a sunset here, but the | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
different North of the border. Fiery skies here and it is turning chilly, | :11:36. | :11:47. | |
a frost in the Highlands. Underneath the clear skies. Across Southern | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
parts of England into the Midlands and parts of Wales, more cloud. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Patchy rain towards the South East. Heavy at at times along the South | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
coast but temperatures do not fall much. Northern Wales and Northern | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
England, a different story. Frost not just in Scotland, also in | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Northern Ireland. And we will find fog forming as | :12:03. | :12:03. |
