Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:11.:00:12.

Hundreds of mourners gathered at York Minster today,

:00:13.:00:15.

to celebrate the life of seven-year-old Katie Rough,

:00:16.:00:18.

who was killed in the city last month.

:00:19.:00:20.

members of the public were invited to help remember her short life.

:00:21.:00:28.

Outside York Minster this afternoon, Katie Rough's hearse arrived pulled

:00:29.:00:36.

by two white horses. Mourners and onlookers fell silent.

:00:37.:00:38.

Her parents, Paul and Alison, were met by the Archbishop of York,

:00:39.:00:46.

Doctor John Sentanu, who was leading the thanksgiving service.

:00:47.:00:48.

The coffin was decorated with characters from one

:00:49.:00:50.

of the writers that Katie loved the most, Dr Seuss.

:00:51.:00:53.

The congregation joined to sing some of Katie's favourite hymns,

:00:54.:00:58.

and her uncle Stephen held back tears as he paid tribute,

:00:59.:01:03.

describing her as "a smart and beautiful child

:01:04.:01:05.

who will live on forever in our hearts."

:01:06.:01:08.

and the grief in fact has brought them together more so.

:01:09.:01:19.

So I got to know them.

:01:20.:01:20.

And I actually think Stephen has been a tower of strength.

:01:21.:01:23.

Before the funeral, Katie's family released a video

:01:24.:01:27.

which shows a compilation of photos of the seven-year-old's short life.

:01:28.:01:30.

They want people to remember her for what she was like,

:01:31.:01:32.

She was found with serious neck and chest injuries

:01:33.:01:43.

on a playing field near her home and died later in hospital.

:01:44.:01:47.

A 15-year-old girl has been charged with her murder.

:01:48.:01:51.

Her tragic death has affected many communities across the city,

:01:52.:01:55.

and hundreds of people packed into York Minster today

:01:56.:01:58.

to pay their respects to a little girl they didn't know,

:01:59.:02:00.

There's a couple of events on later this week that we

:02:01.:02:06.

We are helping to raise money for two York charities,

:02:07.:02:10.

one of them for disadvantaged children, and just to remember her

:02:11.:02:16.

as a lovely little girl and leave a legacy

:02:17.:02:18.

and not a memory that something awful happened.

:02:19.:02:20.

After the service, the coffin was carried out from York Minster

:02:21.:02:27.

to the hymn, "he's got the whole world in his hands" with

:02:28.:02:31.

the words change to "he's got Katie in his hands".

:02:32.:02:33.

As her body was driven away for a quiet service of

:02:34.:02:36.

committal, there was spontaneous applause.

:02:37.:02:37.

This personal family tragedy has become something very public.

:02:38.:02:39.

And now, her parents are going to set up a lasting memorial to the

:02:40.:02:43.

daughter that they say made them so happy.

:02:44.:02:53.

The Prison Officers' Association says it's not surprised

:02:54.:02:55.

by the findings of a BBC investigation,

:02:56.:02:57.

which secretly filmed widespread drug abuse and security failings

:02:58.:02:59.

A Panorama reporter spent two months undercover at

:03:00.:03:06.

HMP Northumberland near Morpeth, which is privately run.

:03:07.:03:08.

On the undercover reporter's first day inside, 2.5 kilograms of Spice,

:03:09.:03:18.

an illegal high with a prison value of quarter of a million pounds,

:03:19.:03:23.

Despite this, Panorama was told that there was no

:03:24.:03:32.

lock down so that the block could be completely searched.

:03:33.:03:54.

During filming, the BBC discovered a serious security breach.

:03:55.:03:56.

Alarms on two doors were not working.

:03:57.:04:06.

Nearby, officers found wire-cutting tools

:04:07.:04:08.

and later a hole in an inner security fence.

:04:09.:04:14.

The reporter asked the governor what went wrong.

:04:15.:04:29.

A former officer says that the company that

:04:30.:04:32.

now runs the prison, Sodexo, is to blame for the influx

:04:33.:04:34.

of drugs, a situation that he describes as "ballistic".

:04:35.:04:42.

Sodexo cut their nose off with things like drugs,

:04:43.:04:44.

saying that they didn't have drug problems.

:04:45.:04:49.

If you can't catch drugs and you don't report drugs you don't

:04:50.:04:52.

I think Sodexo should have been into special measures

:04:53.:04:58.

and consideration immediately be given to taking the contract from

:04:59.:05:02.

Sodexo and that the state take control of that prison.

:05:03.:05:16.

Well earlier I asked Damian what the prison and the government had to

:05:17.:05:20.

Neither Sodexo, which is the company that runs the prison

:05:21.:05:23.

or the government, actually took part in the programme but they've

:05:24.:05:26.

Sodexo says the safety of staff and inmates is their top priority.

:05:27.:05:29.

And the Ministry of Justice said it would urgently investigate the BBC's

:05:30.:05:32.

footage and that the government is determined to reform our prisons.

:05:33.:05:38.

Police searching for a man last seen at Hartlepool Marina have found

:05:39.:05:41.

a body. 51-year-old Andrew Roy failed to show up for work

:05:42.:05:44.

The body hasn't yet been formally identified

:05:45.:05:47.

but Mr Roy's family has been informed.

:05:48.:05:54.

A father and daughter have appeared in court in Carlisle

:05:55.:05:56.

charged with the manslaughter of their 91-year-old relative.

:05:57.:05:59.

Peter Fairclough, who's 72, and his 43-year-old daughter Julie,

:06:00.:06:03.

both from Cockermouth, deny unlawfully killing Maude White

:06:04.:06:06.

- their mother-in-law and grandmother respectively,

:06:07.:06:09.

A tanker's overturned and fallen 30 feet

:06:10.:06:15.

down a railway embankment in Northumberland.

:06:16.:06:17.

The vehicle, containing heating oil, left the road

:06:18.:06:19.

between Fourstones and Warden while travelling towards Hexham.

:06:20.:06:25.

The oil had to be removed before the tanker could be moved.

:06:26.:06:27.

The driver escaped with minor injuries.

:06:28.:06:32.

Recruitment's begun for a new team of bell ringers for York Minster

:06:33.:06:35.

after 30 volunteers were sacked last year

:06:36.:06:39.

following concerns about safeguarding.

:06:40.:06:40.

An advert has appeared on the Minster's website

:06:41.:06:42.

Part of the role includes hiring volunteer bell ringers.

:06:43.:06:50.

Campaigners against fracking in North Yorkshire say they'll be

:06:51.:06:52.

fielding candidates in this year's local council elections.

:06:53.:06:56.

A new group, 'Frack Free United' was officially

:06:57.:06:57.

Protests, petitions, and legal challenges have become part of the

:06:58.:07:09.

anti-fracking story over the past couple of years in North Yorkshire.

:07:10.:07:12.

But, so far, they have had little practical effect.

:07:13.:07:14.

If local councillors can't be persuaded to turn down planning

:07:15.:07:19.

permission, then elect different councillors.

:07:20.:07:23.

We've got County Council elections coming up in North Yorkshire.

:07:24.:07:26.

With several others right across the country.

:07:27.:07:28.

And we are looking for people who are going to stand in those

:07:29.:07:35.

elections for whatever political party who will, as part of their

:07:36.:07:37.

manifesto, pledge that they are anti-fracking.

:07:38.:07:47.

We need people who are going to come to County Hall who are not

:07:48.:07:50.

just passionate about environmental issues,

:07:51.:07:52.

passionate about education, about child protection,

:07:53.:07:55.

a sustainable library service, maintaining our roads.

:07:56.:07:58.

Protests in the past outside North Yorkshire County Council

:07:59.:08:05.

headquarters in Northallerton have already failed to convince

:08:06.:08:18.

councillors on this Conservative controlled planning authority who

:08:19.:08:20.

control the planning authority to turn down the one

:08:21.:08:22.

fracking application they have had to decide on so far.

:08:23.:08:25.

The real test as to whether this political initiative is going to

:08:26.:08:27.

after the local government elections.

:08:28.:08:30.

Across all those county councils, there are companies that asking them

:08:31.:08:33.

to grant permission for them to frack.

:08:34.:08:36.

Paul's here with the weather for the week ahead.

:08:37.:08:38.

The short answer is yes. But don't go writing winter off completely. As

:08:39.:08:52.

we head through this coming week. Yesterday, some cloud, a breeze and

:08:53.:08:57.

some rain but temperatures are on the rise as well. Quite a quiet

:08:58.:09:02.

night tonight. Mostly dry and the clouds are breaking up. There are

:09:03.:09:06.

some clear spells around. The combination of that patchy cloud and

:09:07.:09:10.

the East to south-easterly breeze means most places stay frost free at

:09:11.:09:17.

round about two Celsius. A dry start tomorrow, staying dry through the

:09:18.:09:21.

day. The cloud more broken in the east than it was today so many

:09:22.:09:25.

places should see some sunshine at times although it tends to cloud

:09:26.:09:29.

over from the West as we head into the evening. Top temperature, 10

:09:30.:09:33.

Celsius in the West, south-easterly winds and lighter than they have

:09:34.:09:36.

been so it should feel that bit milder. Heading into tomorrow

:09:37.:09:41.

evening, that cloud begins with some patchy rain spreading in from the

:09:42.:09:44.

south and west. It tends to die away again by the end of the night. That

:09:45.:09:49.

cloud will keep ours frost free again with five the overnight low as

:09:50.:09:55.

we head into Wednesday morning. Wednesday, misplaces dry with broken

:09:56.:09:59.

cloud and sunny intervals. Temperatures broadly speaking into

:10:00.:10:02.

double figures with highs of around pence osseous with a southerly

:10:03.:10:08.

breeze. That southerly breeze will become more south-westerly into the

:10:09.:10:14.

latter part of the week. We have weather fronts are content with, but

:10:15.:10:18.

because the wind is coming from that south-westerly direction that will

:10:19.:10:21.

help maintain those higher temperatures as we head through the

:10:22.:10:25.

second half of the week towards the weekend. Thursday, fairly cloudy on

:10:26.:10:30.

the whole with power pick enough to produce some rain at times,

:10:31.:10:33.

especially in the West. Temperatures east of the Pennines in double

:10:34.:10:40.

figures with highs of 11 Celsius in Middlesbrough, but a windy day on

:10:41.:10:45.

Thursday. Friday, a similar day in some respects, lots of cloud around,

:10:46.:10:49.

most of the rain will be in the West, the best of any bright spells

:10:50.:10:55.

in the east with highs of around about 11 Celsius. The rain much

:10:56.:11:00.

light on Friday. That is how it is looking, stay tuned to your

:11:01.:11:04.

at the weekend it will be mild. Largely dry, perhaps

:11:05.:11:05.
