A North Yorkshire farmers mart that's been in existence

:00:11.:00:13.

for over a hundred years, says it doesn't know

:00:14.:00:16.

if it can survive a big hike in its business rates.

:00:17.:00:18.

Hawes mart sells 100,000 sheep a year but will see its rates

:00:19.:00:40.

Sheep have been sold at this auction mart in Hawes for 103 years

:00:41.:00:44.

It's seen its business rates shoot up.

:00:45.:00:47.

A revaluation means a big bill is coming in April?

:00:48.:00:50.

We have been paying business rates about ?7,000, ?7,500 mark and that

:00:51.:00:53.

It means the mart isn't going to be viable.

:00:54.:00:59.

Business rates have been reset across the country.

:01:00.:01:00.

Some properties will see a fall but rural enterprises are the worst

:01:01.:01:03.

hit, in the first revaluation for seven years.

:01:04.:01:08.

100,000 sheep are sold here every year, including

:01:09.:01:10.

The mart, an essential part of the process of getting

:01:11.:01:14.

I would sort of regard it as sheep insurance,

:01:15.:01:20.

You send things into an abattoir and you're certainly not as safe,

:01:21.:01:30.

But if the mart goes, it won't only be farmers that feel

:01:31.:01:34.

Stuart's guesthouse offers a stay for mart buyers and sellers.

:01:35.:01:38.

September, October, a busy month anyway in Hawes,

:01:39.:01:40.

but the mart adds something to it, you get farmers all over

:01:41.:01:43.

the visitors who find it a huge attraction as well, so it is a big

:01:44.:01:52.

In its defence, the valuation office agency said it sets rateable

:01:53.:01:58.

values fairly and equally and there is an appeal process.

:01:59.:02:01.

But it takes three-and-a-half years - time enough for the mart to no

:02:02.:02:04.

longer be at the heart of this community.

:02:05.:02:13.

Three people remain in police custody this evening

:02:14.:02:16.

after a teenager was shot dead outside a barber's shop in Leeds.

:02:17.:02:19.

The two men and a woman are being held on suspicion

:02:20.:02:23.

of murder following the death of 19-year-old Raheem Wilks.

:02:24.:02:25.

He was shot in Harehills on Thursday afternoon

:02:26.:02:27.

Meanwhile, Raheem Wilks' 18-year-old brother, Maleek,

:02:28.:02:36.

made his first-team debut for Leeds United today.

:02:37.:02:37.

But his team suffered a shock defeat in the FA Cup fourth

:02:38.:02:39.

round against non-League Sutton United.

:02:40.:02:41.

Sutton may be the lowest-ranked team left in the FA Cup

:02:42.:02:49.

but they dominated against Leeds from the start.

:02:50.:02:52.

The national league side thought they were 1-0 up

:02:53.:02:54.

The celebrations cut short by a late offside flag.

:02:55.:03:01.

Only minutes into the second half, a penalty was awarded to Sutton,

:03:02.:03:04.

Leeds felt they deserved their own penalty but their appeals

:03:05.:03:13.

The match brought an emotional moment for Maleek Wilks.

:03:14.:03:17.

Just three days after his brother was shot dead in the street,

:03:18.:03:20.

the 18-year-old striker made his Leeds United debut.

:03:21.:03:25.

But on the pitch, things got no better for Leeds.

:03:26.:03:28.

Their captain Liam Cooper was sent off after a second bookable offence,

:03:29.:03:31.

leaving United to end the match with 10-men.

:03:32.:03:36.

As the final whistle blew, Sutton manager, Paul Doswell had

:03:37.:03:43.

I knew after five or ten minutes of watching it that they were

:03:44.:03:48.

The lads started the game well, which was important.

:03:49.:03:53.

They all had their jobs to do but it's a team that you can trust.

:03:54.:03:57.

So joy for Sutton and Leeds United now turn

:03:58.:03:59.

Sheffield freestyle skier James Woods has had one

:04:00.:04:04.

The 25-year-old, known as Woodsy, won a gold medal in the Ski Big Air

:04:05.:04:10.

It's the world's biggest freestyle skiing and

:04:11.:04:14.

A new academy's been set up in Sheffield to train the next

:04:15.:04:21.

75 teenagers applied for a place at the GB

:04:22.:04:24.

Twelve were selected and today they trained together for the first

:04:25.:04:29.

Academy manager John Eley hopes they can follow

:04:30.:04:34.

Still very raw at the moment in the sense of we know

:04:35.:04:47.

we have some learning, some development to do

:04:48.:04:49.

but it is an exciting group to be working with.

:04:50.:04:52.

Yeah, that would be the highest point I could get to really and I'd

:04:53.:04:59.

I think I'm getting better every time I come on the ice.

:05:00.:05:11.

E a completely different feel to the feather over the next seven days or

:05:12.:05:16.

so, an Atlantic influence. We haven't seen that for a time.

:05:17.:05:20.

Quickly it'll be out of the way and we'll be looking at a largely dry

:05:21.:05:25.

night. Low cloud. Mist and murk and patches of fog and even frost under

:05:26.:05:28.

clear skies, particularly the further north you head with

:05:29.:05:30.

overnight temperatures dropping to one or two. So we'll start the day

:05:31.:05:35.

tomorrow on a very cloudy, misty, murk divri note. Patchy frost and

:05:36.:05:39.

fog. Both will clear and lift and we'll be looking at a cloudy

:05:40.:05:44.

picture. The best of the brightness further east, as always with this

:05:45.:05:47.

Atlantic set-up with temperatures tomorrow up to 6 or 17. Turning less

:05:48.:05:52.

cold and we stick with this theme for the rest of the week. Here is

:05:53.:05:54.

the outlook: There was some sunny and cheerful

:05:55.:06:16.

weather across the UK today. Scotland and the far north of

:06:17.:06:23.

England, but further south, a rainy, ugly picture, and

:06:24.:06:24.
