31/10/2016 Look North (Yorkshire)

Welcome to Monday's Look North. news teams where you are.

Tonight, no one died, no one was wrongfully convicted

so there will be no inquiry into Orgreave.

30 years police have been accused of using excessive force and covering

it up. Tonight in mining communities there is shock.

There were no deaths there were no convictions. Therefore it does not

merit the same level of status as a public enquiry as was required for

Hillsborough. The establishlent stitched up she has just announced

is nothing more than a nakedly political act. We will get our

enquiry. We'll speak live to campaigners

and to South Yorkshire's The Policing Minister is to discuss

merging South Yorkshire Polhce with West Yorkshire,

amid claims it's tarnished the Also tonight, abuse at a Yorkshire

children's home leads to ond of the largest compensation claims

against the Catholic Church. And, in sport, Sheffield Wednesday's

head coach describes this as one of the worst referring

decisions in history. And we're in for a change over the

next few days, turning a lot colder. Stay tuned for the forecast.

Yorkshire's mining communithes have reacted angrily

to the Home Secretary's dechsion not to hold an inquiry

into the so-called Battle of Orgreave, when striking

miners and police clashed in South Yorkshire in 1984.

The ruling has been condemndd by former miners, by Labour

politicians and also by South Yorkshire's Police

and Crime Commissioner in the strongest of terms.

"Shameful", an "establishment stitch-up" and "an absolute

Tom Ingall is live in Orgre`ve in South Yorkshire for us tonight.

Tom, this was not the decishon campaigners were expecting.

I think it is absolutely inconceivable that the men who came

here 32 years ago to pick it would have any idea how that they would

change their lives forever. For the campaigners it is inconceiv`ble

They were expecting to hear from the Government about how the terms of

reference for the enquiry would operate. Yet here we are with no

enquiry. It feels like a dedp scar that runs through South Yorkshire

has just been opened again. Concluded that there is no case for

either a statutory enquiry or an independent review.

32 years after the noise and violence it comes to this. She told

us that we weren't going to get anything. It was a complete shock.

And a great great disappointment. Striking miners became part of a

conflict with police. There was violence on both sides. Campaigners

say the tactics used were dhfferent. They want to know why and who

ordered them. The physical landscape at Orgreave has changed beyond all

recognition. As has the polhtical. Campaigners claim that just as in

enquiry has uncovered subterfuge at Hillsborough it was at play here. .

But they have been left empty-handed. Rejecting any form of

investigation, and best -- @mber Road released a statement. There

were no miscarriages of justice There were no deaths. There were no

convictions. The right honotrable lady should be aware. Therefore it

doesn't merit the same level status as a of a public enquiry as was

required for Hillsborough. @re we right in concluding that thd

establishment stitched up she has announced today is in nothing more

than a nakedly political act? Campaigners were undeterred when

they were told it would not be investigated. They are likely to be

deterred now. But where and to whom should they make their case next?

There has been a lot of reaction on Twitter from South Yorkshird MPs.

Particularly after the word coming from London was that there would be

some sort of enquiry after the four-year campaign. It looks like we

will hear more from the campaigners tomorrow as to where they w`nt to

take the campaign next. For more than three decades,

campaigners have demanded the truth Many believe that the events

of the Hillsborough football disaster, in which 96

football fans died in 1989, if Orgreave had been investhgated

properly five years earlier. Our political editor Len Tingle

has our second report tonight into the 32-year

search for the truth. At the National union of Mineworkers

headquarters today the news that there will be no enquiry into

Orgreave was met with a mixture of anger and defiance. It says in a

statement that there was no deaths or wrongful prosecutions, s`id the

police force can do whatever they want as long as no one dies. Arthur

Scargill was at and arrested at Orgreave. He has always said the

facts of the police operation have been covered up for 32 years. They

are still restricted. They `re still... There is a reason for it.

They must disclose all the documentation from the Government

and the police. What we need is a demand to rerun the allegathons of

police brutality. The film shows clearly what happened, that a bunch

of thugs turned up to prevent men from going to work, to prevdnt

lorries driving in and out of the works, and they were intendhng to do

that by force. There were 94 arrests, all acquitted. Those

calling for an enquiry say ht might settle why those trials collapsed.

It took an investigation by BT BBC to show those acquittals were no

technicalities. Dozens of statements came to light made by... We got hold

of around 100 police statemdnts from Orgreave and what you find hs

fascinating. In turning down an enquiry today, it

was said policing had changdd so much that there was nothing more for

the forced to learn. But evdn this week, one of those officers came

back for the first time and met campaigners to explain how those

statements had been compiled. South Yorkshire detective stood up and

said this is an instruction, a request. These phrases and sentences

must go into every statement for a successful prosecution. A ntmber of

us, including myself, asked what was going on and said this wasn't how we

do things. We were told it was from the top. Campaigners are sthll

convinced an enquiry Wooding and cover embarrassing facts for the

Government and polite peace. They say the parallels with the his

Hillsborough district 's hasta are clear and they won't stop

campaigning. Well, Barbara Jackson

is from the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign who've argued

for an inquiry into What is your reaction

to the Home Secretary's dechsion? I was absolutely shocked whdn I took

the phone call this afternoon. It was not the news I was expecting. I

was devastated. I was dismaxed. And I was angry.

Amber Rudd says an inquiry hs not in the public interest,

and that the culture of polhcing has changed significantly

What purpose would an inquiry serve 32 years on?

If she believes that policing has changed substantially since then she

needs to come to South Yorkshire and tell that to the people who live

here. What about accountability for what happened in 1984? Are those

people never going to get any transparency or accountabilhty?

No, definitely not. We have the 6-page letter now from Amber Rudd.

We will pass that to our legal advisers and they will located to

see if we can mount a legal challenge. But it is definitely not

the end. We have a press conference tomorrow morning at Barnslex at ten

o'clock and we will be plotting a way forward for the campaign. And

what is the mood among supporters tonight? Fighting back. We `re

shocked and upset but we ard not on the ground, we are not on otr knees.

We are determined to fight back and keep raising the issue. It won't go

away just because of the decision that Amber Road has made today. It

is unsatisfactory, unfinishdd business.

Today's announcement has rahsed questions about the future of the

police. today, would my Right Honourable

friend along with my Honour`ble friend the Policing Minister meet

with me to have a serious dhscussion about whether South Yorkshire Police

and West Yorkshire Police c`n be merged to become Yorkshire Police,

so that the name South Yorkshire Police does not do an injustice

to the officers who are bravely putting

their lives on the line every day? I thank my honourable friend for his

question. And I can agree that the policing minister will meet with him

to discuss it. South Yorkshhre Police is under new leadership and

I'm hopeful it can make good progress. In addition to th`t the

policing minister spoke tod`y to the PCC to an to explain the decision

the Government has come to. In the studio with us

is South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan

Billings. We want a change in the culture of

South Yorkshire Police and that is why I am disappointed with what has

happened today because I thhnk that South Yorkshire Police could have

shown by being open and transparent and welcoming the enquiry, they

could have shown they are m`king a difference to that culture. Amber

Rudd says we should be focusing on the future. I don't think the

Government have any appetitd for any merger. I think what Amber Rudd was

saying to people like me, hold the police force to account. Wh`t I

would say is the way I will do that is by holding the enquiry and taking

seriously what it finds. All people want is to get to the bottol of the

truth, the facts of what happened at Orgreave, what part did Govdrnment

play in that, what part did the play police play in that? Remembdr police

forces from all over the cotntry played a part in that. Do you think

an enquiry into Orgreave wotld have improved the police's reput`tion? I

do. We were welcoming that dnquiry. We were planning for it and

preparing for it. We were gdtting the archives together. We h`d just

appointed a professional archivist to catalogue the archive. Wd were

searching police stations to ensure everything that could be known about

Orgreave was known. That's what we want, the facts and the truth. And

by demonstrating their openness in that way, the present force could

have shown they were quite different from the force in the past. This is

an opportunity that has been denied them.

We will have minders childrdn and grandchildren watching how can you

assure them that the force can be trusted? Hillsborough has bden

mentioned... We know the force has a long way to go, so I saw thhs as an

opportunity and I know the present Chief Constable saw this as a long

way to go -- an opportunity to be open and honest. I will meet the

campaign group and see what we can do from there. Thank you.

One of the largest compensation claims against the Catholic

church starts today at the High Court in Leeds.

Over 200 men say they were `bused at the St William's Approved School

Nigel Feeley from Leeds was abused by the former

Principal of the home, James Carragher, in 1972.

It's claimed those running the home had numerous chances to stop him,

but their failure meant boys were abused for decades.

I didn't deserve what they did to me. Nigel Feeley was 13 years old

when he was sent to St Willham's Approved School, run on by half of

the Middlesbrough diocese. Nigel was one of many boys abused by the

former principal, James Carragher. He started coming round and

touching, like doctors do. Xou couldn't scream at him and say, go

away, because he had the power. What could I have done? James Carragher

is currently serving his thhrd prison sentence for abusing boys of

the home. He was principal there from 1976 to 1990, but doculents

seen by the BBC's Inside Out suggest the abuse started in the 1970s, and

those running the home knew about it. James Carragher was subject to

an internal investigation on April six 1970. No further action was

taken. In 1983, another disciplinary after he physically assaultdd a boy.

If a person with more scruples had got in early and done a proper

investigation, Carragher wotld have been kicked out of the placd in the

early 70s. Neither the order nor the diocese have responded to these

allegations, but in statements, the Della Sala offered an unresdrved

apology. Both reiterated thdy now have robust safeguarding policies in

place. Today a civil case for compensation has started at the High

Court in Leeds. Victims holding a small protest outside the court For

them, today has been a long time coming.

And you can see more in a special report tonight.

That's Inside Out on BBC Ond at 7:30.

Other news now, and a coupld whose 18-week-old baby daughter w`s found

dead in front of a gas fire with extensive injuries havd

been jailed for more than ten years between them.

Paramedics found Kayleigh Sheard with burns on her face,

broken bones and bite marks in Heckmondwike in September 20 3.

Leeds Crown Court heard that while the cause of Kayleigh's death

was not clear, her parents, Daniel Sheard and Lucy Damen,

had tried to cover up the circumstances surrounding it

It's been alleged that an ex-soldier who turned charity fundraisdr

Simon Buckden also claimed he'd suffered post-traumatic strdss

Four years ago, Simon Buckddn, released from the Army

on mental health grounds, proudly carried the Olympic

But today he was in court to deny six fraud charges.

Prosecutors say sympathisers gave Mr Buckden money and favours

after he'd lied about his mddical and service records.

A giant book of David Hockndy's works has gone on display

The book weighs a whopping 22lbs and contains more than 600

It features early images from Hockney's teenage days

at Bradford College of Art as well as many of his more recent

Yet when some of the page is polite and enormous reproductions, many of

which have never been produced in that way before. So it is not just a

bigger book in size or weight, it is not just a bigger book in the depth

of the work that is in it, ht is actually a bigger book all round.

And it is definitely the biggest book that we have ever had here

On to sport now, and Sheffidld Wednesday's head coach,

Carlos Carvalhal, says he whtnessed one of the worst refereeing

decisions in the Championshhp's history in their 2-0 defeat at Derby

Referee James Linington somdhow failed to spot Richard Keogh's clear

Even the Derby boss, Steve LcClaren, joked it was a "great save"

Elsewhere, Barnsley head co`ch Paul Heckingbottom says his team

will keep surprising people in the Championship this se`son

The Reds were among the favourites for relegation, but they're

in the top half of the tabld after 15 matches.

Former Barnsley boss Lee Johnson returned to Oakwell for the first

time on Saturday with his ctrrent club Bristol City,

Lee Johnson's welcome was w`rmer than X, suggesting the Barnsley fans

are quite happy without him. They were even happier when Marldy

Watkins open the scoring. Btt Sam Winnall's injury left him looking

like a guest at a Halloween party, and he was suitably horrifidd as his

penalty was saved. Even scarier was Adam Jackson's inexplicable

handball, which gifted Bristol city an equaliser. England under 21 star

Tammy Abraham made it 2-1, but in injury time, Adam Hammill ghosted

into the box to equalise. Bristol are a team who have invested well,

and that is what that money can bring, that extra bit of qu`lity,

some good quality in our drdssing room as well, and with a work ethic

and teamwork we can surprisd a few. Things are looking up at Ledds. With

a quarterfinal ahead, there are now ninth, Silliman Doukara somdhow

emerging from this tangle whth the ball to make it 2-0. Danny Ward s

two goals almost made it a third, but Ipswich equalised in thd 90th

minute, and I was a horror show over Huddersfield as Fulham won 4-0.

Bradford beat Wimbledon 3-2. The Bantams are now third in Le`gue 1.

Sheffield United are just one place behind, 11 games unbeaten. Billy

Sharp sealing a 2-1 win over MK Dons. Chesterfield lost Charlton,

and are second bottom. Finally, if you want tricks and treats tonight,

watch this. Doncaster's John Marquis left the Wycombe defender spooked in

a 2-2 draw. Well, the witching hour

is almost upon us. And every year the celebrathons

and decorations get more Would you believe some people

actually make a living from it? Jamie Wardley from Bradford

is a full-time sculptor who's more You may remember this project

in 2013 when he raked thous`nds of figures onto the beaches

in Arromanches in Northern France to remember people who

died in World War 1. Well, now the whole business

of Halloween is taking off so well that Jamie sets aside a month every

year to concentrate on pumpkin-carving

for corporate clients. He's been whittling away behind

the scenes here at Look North That is incredible. And there is the

finished product. We must point out that either side, they are ours

Guess which is which! This little one is mine, and the other one is

yours. What an amazing, amazing piece of art you have just created.

Thank you very much. How long did it take? Usually I would spend half a

day making or in some instances 10-15 hours, but that one w`s just

two hours. Is the secret and not cut holes in it? You can see I destroyed

the mouth when I cut the holes. If you want to cut a whole, cut it but

with carving, we try not to. We try to just carve the flesh with tools,

and then you finish off with a knife or something. What is the sdcret to

a perfect pumpkin? You wantdd to be imperfect. You want it to h`ve bumps

and stuff, because those will inform your sculpture and inspire xou, you

will look at is in thing, that could be a nose, the Newcastle is shapes.

And try to get heavier one, because that means it is thicker. And you

have done some famous characters, too. I think we have a Trump one to

show you, and also Hillary Clinton. They are just uncanny. Brilliant.

Imagine looking at Donald Trump for 15 hours, they take a long time It

is not great! How busy are xou at Halloween? We have a full tdam, some

days we have five people in our workshop making pumpkins, and it is

such good fun, because we are just having a laugh, sitting by the fire.

Thank you for coming into nhght great to see your carvings. Happy

Halloween! And I think Owain has got his own creation there. It hs kind

of loosely based on me, if xou do this, it has the quest! What you

think? I don't know what to do with this

now. There you go. Hello! Wd are in for a change over the next couple of

days on the weather. It is going to get a lot colder. Tomorrow we'll

have a foggy start, brighter later on, but certainly a lot colder.

Overnight we will see a lot of mist and fog forming, so if you `re

travelling first thing, really watch out for this. You can see there is

some rain to the north, and that is a weather front which will slowly

sink to the site. We are talking nine or 10 Celsius, the low, and a

bit of a breeze which will help clear the fog. But first thhng

tomorrow morning, it will bd pretty cloudy. Times of high water:

The reason we are getting this colder air is high pressure in the

Atlantic, low pressure further east, and the air rotates in opposite

ways, drawing down much colder air from the North, and here it is,

flooding down across Yorkshhre and North Derbyshire over the ndxt few

days. That setup is here to stay. Back to tomorrow, the rain slowly

clears. You might wonder if the fog will Everclear, it will stick around

for sometime, it will clear it eventually. We will see plenty of

sunny spells, but in the sunshine, don't expect temperatures to get too

high. Belows tonight, nine or 1 Celsius, but tomorrow's high

temperatures, also nine or ten, it will feel disappointingly chilly,

more like autumn. High pressure remains nearby over the next couple

of days, continuing to draw in that cold air from the North, but at

least the weather will be mostly dry. You will have to wrap tp, but

it will be dry. Wrap up tonight if you are trickle

treaty. Stay safe, and don't disturb the neighbours too much! We will be

back at ten o'clock this evdning. Until then, happy Halloween. Good

night. In half an hour on Inside Ott, the

missed chances to stop a chhld abuser. And the runner reunhted with

the people who saved If you trust me not

and I trust you not, then what is the point

in this marriage at all? Life holds very few things

which are genuinely worth having. If you don't possess them,

everything else is worthless. 'We're the Raintown Superheroes

Keep the streets safe.' You can trust me.

What the hell are you dressed as? So, it seems my boyfriend saved you

from a horrendous attack. How can she not know?

No-one knows.
