A schoolboy has died after fire in a garden shed near Doncaster

:00:00.:00:13.

The teenager's body was discovered by emergency crews last night.

:00:14.:00:16.

Police and fire investigators have spent the day at the scene

:00:17.:00:20.

as they to try to establish the cause of the tragedy.

:00:21.:00:22.

Flowers and messages of sympathy at the scene of a fire,

:00:23.:00:28.

where a 13-year-old boy died last night.

:00:29.:00:31.

Emergency services were called to a semidetached house

:00:32.:00:34.

of Campsall, around 8:30pm last night.

:00:35.:00:39.

When fire crews arrived on the scene, they found a shed

:00:40.:00:42.

Only after that blaze was extinguished, did

:00:43.:00:46.

The victim has been named locally as Jack Sheldon.

:00:47.:00:51.

at McAuley Catholic Academy in Doncaster.

:00:52.:00:56.

Today, police and fire investigators were trying to work out

:00:57.:01:00.

whether what happened here last night was simply a tragic accident

:01:01.:01:03.

At the moment, investigations are ongoing.

:01:04.:01:08.

South Yorkshire Fire are working with South Yorkshire Police to plan

:01:09.:01:12.

the process of the investig`tion that will play out during the day.

:01:13.:01:17.

We've seen sniffer dogs going in, what sort of resources

:01:18.:01:20.

South Yorkshire Fire have two fire investigators and East Midl`nds

:01:21.:01:26.

fire investigation dog, and we're working with

:01:27.:01:29.

South Yorkshire Police crimd scene investigators.

:01:30.:01:32.

This must have been quite a tricky operation for your crews

:01:33.:01:34.

here when they made this discovery this morning?

:01:35.:01:38.

It's a difficult incident for all involved.

:01:39.:01:43.

Local MP, Ed Miliband, said he was very saddened

:01:44.:01:45.

by the death of a young boy, and his thoughts

:01:46.:01:48.

Police say a formal identifhcation of the victim is yet to takd place.

:01:49.:01:55.

Investigators have told us specially trained liaison officers

:01:56.:01:57.

are providing support to relatives of the family involved

:01:58.:02:00.

It's not yet known what caused the fire, but forensics teals

:02:01.:02:06.

and sniffer dogs were seen dntering the house and working

:02:07.:02:09.

in a sealed-off area in the rear garden of the property

:02:10.:02:12.

as they try to piece togethdr the events which led to the death

:02:13.:02:15.

New measures have been annotnced to better protect thousands of homes

:02:16.:02:25.

and businesses in the flood,hit Calder Valley.

:02:26.:02:27.

The multi-million pound acthon plan has been drawn up

:02:28.:02:29.

by Calderdale Council and the Environment Agency.

:02:30.:02:32.

But the improvements could take years, and there's criticisl that

:02:33.:02:35.

crucial works have already dragged on too long.

:02:36.:02:38.

A torrent of water sweeps through the Calder Valley,

:02:39.:02:44.

This is a place with a long and heartbreaking history

:02:45.:02:50.

of flooding, but Boxing Day last year was the worst in living memory.

:02:51.:02:57.

83-year-old Sheila Wilkes lost everything.

:02:58.:02:59.

She still hasn't been able to return to her ruined homd.

:03:00.:03:04.

I looked out the kitchen window and there was just this big wave.

:03:05.:03:07.

It just came over, straight into the flat, and the carpdts

:03:08.:03:12.

were so many feet, straightaway, off the ground.

:03:13.:03:17.

Today, new measures to protdct people like Sheila were

:03:18.:03:20.

announced with the launch of a flood action plan.

:03:21.:03:23.

It's been put together by the Council, the Environlent

:03:24.:03:26.

Agency, Yorkshire Water and the local community.

:03:27.:03:29.

What we've done with the Calderdale Flood Action Plan is bring together

:03:30.:03:32.

all the work we are doing, all the feedback and ideas

:03:33.:03:35.

we've had from the communitx, and put them in one place so we can

:03:36.:03:38.

all understand what it is wd're trying to achieve, the timescales

:03:39.:03:41.

we're going to do that and who's responsible.

:03:42.:03:43.

This plan isn't the start, lots of it has already happdned

:03:44.:03:49.

Works at Mytholmroyd, works at Hebden Bridge,

:03:50.:03:51.

The plan sets out for the fhrst time how ?133 million is to be spent

:03:52.:03:56.

55 million of that is from the Government.

:03:57.:04:02.

And it's that money which whll pay for physical defences

:04:03.:04:05.

But the work is very much ongoing, and here in Mytholmroyd,

:04:06.:04:10.

it won't be completed for at least three years.

:04:11.:04:12.

We won't be able to get all the defences built

:04:13.:04:16.

Nevertheless, communities h`ve been involved, and I hope that ghves

:04:17.:04:21.

the confidence that this will be delivered.

:04:22.:04:24.

I'm very keen that we make sure the actions -

:04:25.:04:26.

which are quite specific in the action plan -

:04:27.:04:28.

that we'll be following through to make sure that they're done.

:04:29.:04:32.

Not everyone shares that confidence - for Sheila,

:04:33.:04:35.

the work in Mytholmroyd is long overdue.

:04:36.:04:37.

That river could have been widened a long time ago.

:04:38.:04:46.

The changes will take time, and no-one can say for sure

:04:47.:04:50.

that this will be enough to protect Calderdale from another deltge.

:04:51.:04:57.

A ceremony's taken place in Leeds today to launch the Royal British

:04:58.:05:00.

A minute's silence was held at The Light shopping centrd

:05:01.:05:05.

Money raised goes towards hdlping service personnel past and present.

:05:06.:05:10.

Last year the appeal raised almost ?420,000.

:05:11.:05:15.

The group are hoping for a similar success this year.

:05:16.:05:18.

There's a tremendous amount of work that goes into raising thosd funds.

:05:19.:05:22.

The appeal goes on for the full 12 months, so we've now launchdd it -

:05:23.:05:27.

it was launched in London earlier this week - we've now

:05:28.:05:31.

So, for the next two weeks, people will be out selling

:05:32.:05:37.

and distributing poppies and everything else in order

:05:38.:05:42.

The go-ahead's been given to controversial plans to overhaul

:05:43.:05:46.

one of country's most historic and significant sites -

:05:47.:05:49.

the world-famous Clifford's Tower in York.

:05:50.:05:52.

Planners voted last night in favour of the English Heritage proposals,

:05:53.:05:56.

which will also see a new visitor centre.

:05:57.:05:58.

Since a public consultation, changes have been made

:05:59.:06:00.

to the design of the centre - there will also be a rooftop cafe

:06:01.:06:04.

England's longest drop waterfall - Hardraw Force in Wensleydald -

:06:05.:06:10.

The attraction is in the be`utiful Yorkshire Dales National Park,

:06:11.:06:15.

and provided the backdrop to Kevin Coster's

:06:16.:06:17.

Whoever buys it also gets to be landlord of an historic pub.

:06:18.:06:22.

The asking price, a modest ?1.5 million.

:06:23.:06:32.
