This is Look North. Wasted energy? Yes green power the best way | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
forward or a blot on the landscape? Police hunting a rapist that | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
attacked as student in Leeds City centre. A brush with the quirky | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
Dales artist at designed major works. Plenty of cloud outside at | :00:31. | :00:41. | |

York and showers to come. More Should we have clean energy at any | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
cost or does it depend on your backyard? We will be hearing about | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
a cliche over -- solar panels and monstrous looking turbines which | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
will destroy the landscape. The argument is it is cleaner and will | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
reduce the need for coal-powered energy. But the opposition says it | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
:01:20. | :01:21. | ||
will not solve the problem. Here is Power on tap at the Shillingfords | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
home. It comes from solar panels installed a few months ago. But | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
before they can generate power, they produced a lot of paperwork | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
and a court case. We were shocked to find out we were breaking some | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
sort of regulation. That was the biggest shock. We had good | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
intentions but we were told to get that down. The family owner this | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
house but they are leaseholders, paying a ground raid -- went to | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Redmile. They have said additions to the house must be agreed. They | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
said permission to build the solar panels should have been requested | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
and the tribunal agreed with them. But crucially the judge leading the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
tribunal rejected the developer's concern the solar panels could | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
cause structural problems. She said the case stated objections were not | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
significant. We have spoken to a couple of local people and they | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
have said them -- when they were installed they did not like them | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
but now they do not worry about them. In fact one is very impressed | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
and is thinking of getting them himself. It is a good idea. Redmile | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
did not want to be interviewed but said they would have been pleased | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
to accept a request for permission to accept a request for permission | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
which was not forthcoming. In this case, we have concerns about the | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
structural stability of the structural stability of the | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
building. One solicitor says it does send a message but does not | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
set a precedent. It is a concern for people that are may be looking | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
at these sorts of things. They will think carefully about the | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
consequences. His family would not the first with solar power. Ray | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Butt has had his for a year and thinks he has saved �300. He has a | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
part-time job for the company that helped him, A Shade Greener. As we | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
look around, nobody bats an eyelid. It will be the same with solar | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
panels as well. We have had thousands installed in the past | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
year. Having got the right to go green, this family are looking | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
forward to working out there first annual saving. We would like to | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
hear what do you think about this. Another form of green energy is | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
wind power. Plans for five wind turbines are being welcomed by the | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
locals in this area. Here is our correspondent. The heavens have | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
opened in, on top but we can get an idea about the due at the local | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
people enjoy across this open and green countryside. -- the view. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Earlier today hundreds of campaigners turned out and marched | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
up the country lane and they were protesting as councillors visited | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Land where they could be installed if given permission at a planning | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
meeting in York. You are part of the action group against these | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
plans. Is this a case of Not In My Back Yard? It is not. These wind | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
turbines are 10 metres higher than at the London Eye. They are very | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
close to residential properties. The action group does not have all | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
the information and we do not have these things in England at the | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
moment. It is just monstrous that would in hundreds of residential | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
properties, within 700 metres we are faced with a massive visual | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
intrusion which I think is unique. We have got diminishing surprised - | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
- supplies of gas and oil. Where will it go if it does not go here? | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Wind is part of the future, along with nuclear energy and coal- | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
powered energy and other energy sources. We have got a | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
proliferation of wind farm applications. This country cannot | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
rely just on wins power alone. It is part of the solution. -- wind | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
power. But this would help 8,000 houses. We challenge that. It | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
depends on efficiency. We have looked and we have not got the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
efficiency that people think. We do not think this is the right area | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
and it is not windy enough. This is the Vale of York. I think there are | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
better areas away from residential properties. The company behind the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
proposal think that this will play a crucial role in meeting local and | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
national energy requirements but here it appears many people do not | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
want the blot on the landscape. We are joined by Rick Hamilton from | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
CO2 Sense, which promotes renewable energy in Yorkshire. Presumably he | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
will say they are efficient and we should sacrifice our view. We teach | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
it is efficient and we did it is essential. We think it will help | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
local businesses and authorities. But we are not saying it has to | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
happen at any cost. We are not involved with this particular | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
proposal in Copmanthorpe and I am not familiar with the details. | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
However, it is important that any developer listens to the community | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
and take that into account and that is what the planning process is all | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
about. Is the government making it easier to get the applications | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
through? That is the suggestion. think the government is looking at | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the planning process. They are trying to make the applications | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
more simple. From the government's perspective, I cannot speak for the | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
government, but we can see how much money is tied up. That local | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
opposition that is well organised in Cup on top, we cannot | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
particularly look at Copmanthorpe, but are they going to a bright | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
roughshod? -- Copmanthorpe. planning process has been set up to | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
protect local communities as far as possible. When a development takes | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
place, the planning process is making certain that all the | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
objections are taken into account but if there are concerns about | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
wildlife, noise pollution, these are taken into account. What about | :08:24. | :08:34. | |
:08:34. | :08:34. | ||
solar panels? You cannot get that on grade two listed buildings. | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
Would that be acceptable? I did not dig it would be in places like that | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
and that is part of the planning process. -- I do not think. I'd | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
think it is important we talk about the reasonings about renewable | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
energy. The fastest thing is that according to the last government, - | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
- the first thing is according to the last government, some energy | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
sources will switch off very quickly. We must invest in | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
renewable energy. Not just because of the gap between available supply | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
and demand, but also because of the critical impact of private change | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
which is happening right now. Mehmet, thank you very much. -- for | :09:29. | :09:35. | |

Still waters. We joined police officers practising the life-saving | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
techniques in the river Aire to prevent more drownings. More on | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
today's news. Police are investigating the rape of a 22- | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
year-old in an alleyway in Leeds. It happened in the early hours of | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
Monday morning and detectives think it was part of the actions of a | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
group of men that had been in the area on Sunday night. Sexual | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
comments were made to the women by a group of men as they left shortly | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
before 2 o'clock. -- to the woman as she left. It appears she was | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
waiting for a bus in Vicar Lane. She had to get away, a group of | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
young people and came alone through this alleyway but was then a | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
viciously attacked by one man in his doorway. The attacker escaped | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
towards Briggate. CCTV captured this image. Probably the same group | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
of men, we understand approached another woman a couple of hours | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
before elsewhere in Leeds. It is possible they were targeting women | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
in the area. We are thinking it a bid approach other women, we need | :11:13. | :11:22. | |
them to get in touch and tell us what happens. -- what happened. She | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
is determined to help all she can to try and catch these people. | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
Detectives say these cases are very rare, particularly in a big place | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
like Leeds. The latest jobs figures indicate a drop in the number of | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
people unemployed. Unemployment stands at number macro. That is | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
:11:56. | :12:02. | ||
8000 less without a job. -- D6. -- 237 thousand. Sarah Dawson's son | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
died after a long delay in delivering him at a health trust in | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
Yorkshire. The inquest was told a delay of 60 hours materially | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
contributed to the baby's debt. The hospital is reviewing the coroner's | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
recommendations. -- death. This university have agreed to take | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
strike action because of a disagreement about pensions and | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
pays. Unions think they are reneging on previous agreements and | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
have said the college must deal with a funding shortfall in the | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
next three years. Investigations into the writing in Moorland prison | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
has been completed. -- disruption. The Crown Prosecution Service will | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
:13:01. | :13:04. | ||
decide it any prisoners should face Police are currently rescuing | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
someone from the Rev their air every two or three weeks. They are | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
hoping a new scheme will save dozens of lives. | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Remember to shout, very good. An ideal spot for officers to learn | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
water rescue techniques. Not least because of the sheer number of | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
incidents that take place here. I can say that every two, three | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
weeks we have a circumstance where someone has fallen in the river. I | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
think this training is going to result in more lives saved. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
It is a moral dilemma for police officers. If someone is drowning, | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
did they risk their own lives when they are under strict instructions | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
not to enter the water. It is often easier said than done when a life | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
is at stake. These pictures show a policeman in the rebel last year | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
helping a woman he slipped down the bank. He was the first on the scene | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
and wasted no time planning down to help. | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
But not everyone is so lucky. Earlier this year, 30 year-old | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
Robert Stone or went missing after a night out in Leeds. Four days | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
later, police divers found his body in the river. Today his sister has | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
welcomed the Riverside training. I am glad there emergency services | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
have got together. Now if there is an incident, at least the police | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
officers now are trained to go into the river to rescue them. | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
It is a really dangerous thing to get into the river. I would never | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
criticise any officer whatever decision they make. They can only | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
do what they see is right. With this training, they can make better | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
decisions. Around 70 officers in Leeds are | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
learning how to perform a rescue without actually going into the | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
water. The aim is to reduce the number of fatalities. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
If you have ever put a coin in a collection for help the heroes, you | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
will be interested in our next item. 850 bed rehabilitation centre for | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
soldiers injured in conflict is to be built at Catterick Garrison. | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
It is part of a �70 million programme help -- paid for by the | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
charity. This is the site at the barracks | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
where the personal recovery and assessment centre will be built. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
The district council is already considering a planning application | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
for the unit which will cost �12 million. It will be similar to this | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
one, already operating in Edinburgh and one of five to be built around | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
the country. He will come some of the worst casualties of war. Men | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
like James rose from middle show who lost both of his legs in | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
Helmand. Others who have been blinded or are suffering from post- | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
traumatic stress syndrome. All to be rehabilitated and assessed as to | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
what future roles might be. This will benefit the wider | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
community of soldiers. We are delivering hear a facility that is | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
both residential, four-day visitors and also to administer them during | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
that process in terms of fitness suites and instructional classes. | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
It is also located well with Garrison rehabilitation facility. | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
The charity, Help For Heroes, is putting in �70 million for the | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
build. The Royal British Legion will put a further �50 million | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
towards the running costs. We have a lot of reaction from this | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
story. Many added comments on our Facebook site. | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
Laura says, of course wind turbine is is a great way of getting energy. | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
You never ran out of wind, do you. Why should turbine is be an eyesore, | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
nobody complains about pylons. John E mild, why are they painted | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
white and made to stand out? A go over to Belgium and they are | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
painted in colours to melt into the view. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Another Enos says everybody complains, but should be grateful | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
that we do not have a power station next door. | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
Thank you for your comments. Coming up: Portrait of the artist, | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
we cannot get enough of the popular Yorkshire painter with his own | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
quirky take on Dales life. And we are behind the scenes at | :18:00. | :18:10. | |

York's Theatre Royal to see what I wonder what your idea of cycling | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
is. I have trouble vision in you on a bike. | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
Have you really? And must admit I prefer a horse. I know lots of | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
people love Cycling and yours is wandering around York, isn't it? | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
Well it is flat in York. It is. My idea of cycling is a | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
leisurely trip showing of my penny farthing. Steve Peat to take things | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
a bit further. He is a former mountain bike | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
champion out of action with her broken wrist. | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
This week he has launched a competition where riders can beat - | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
:18:59. | :19:03. | ||
- compete to build the greatest a This is Joe, he has been throwing | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
himself off ramps since he was a boy. | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
Watching on and filming on his phone his world championship | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
mountain biker, Steve Peat. Steve wants you, well some of you, | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
to try this at home. With friends including Joe, he has built eight | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
jump week to invite bikers to get creative. | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
It can be a piece of wood with a couple of bricks or it can be a big | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
jump that the more professional guys are building up for themselves | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
to have fun. It is just something I have always wanted to do and put | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
back into the sport. Steve wants competitor and to send | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
in before and after pictures as they transform disused land into | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
much used once. It comes with a word of caution. Steve is out of | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
action today because he has broken his wrist. I had a little off in | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
practice and fractured a bone in my wrist. A few weeks of the bike, but | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
it is not a bad injury. Obviously mountain-biking is a | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
dangerous sport, especially when you are doing down hill and chums | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
and things like that so it is always good to wear a helmet and | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
put your pads on. So the message is, have fun, be creative, but also be | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
careful. It looks a bit dangerous to me. I | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
will stick to my horse. Back in 2009 we featured an artist from | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
North Yorkshire he was barking interest across the world with his | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
own quirky take on village life in Yorkshire. | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
Two years on, Alister Colley has opened his own gallery where the | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
waiting list of over a year for one of his bespoke paintings, he is in | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
more demand than ever. When it comes to capturing | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
Yorkshire, where better to base yourself bent Pateley Bridge. | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Alister Colley has done just that. Demand for his paintings has | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
tripled in the last two years and now he has opened his very own | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
gallery. It is incredible. I have depict | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
myself sometimes. I cannot believe how things have moved on. Two years | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
ago I was working in a bedroom and here I am now with my own gallery. | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
An opportunity for people to see me produce the paintings which is | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
fantastic. I like that interaction. You have to pinch yourself | :21:41. | :21:51. | |
:21:51. | :21:51. | ||
occasionally to take stock. From -- the collection is growing | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
all the time. Each one evokes familiarity, it is Yorkshire but | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
not quite as you know it. The style originated from a | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
children's book that I was specifically asked to illustrate. | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
It referred to a young child's perception of growing up in the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
Dales. The style evolved from that. It was very much about tall | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
buildings towering above and a false perspective to give the | :22:20. | :22:24. | |

So, whether it is tea and cake at Betty's, or Pateley Bridge whatever | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
the season, each picture invites you in. Next year Alastair has been | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
invited to pay it in Australia, but we know there is no place like home. | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
They are good fun, aren't they. We hear from performers in our | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
region, but what about behind the scenes? A new show includes 13 | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
animals alongside its human cast. The woman task with creating these | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
beasts is a puppet maker, Beckie May. Making that many Puckett -- | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
puppets has been a challenge. A Olivia Richwald pulled the strings | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
:23:24. | :23:36. | ||
to get behind the scenes to meet Beckie May has been making puppets | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
for the Theatre Royal for 10 years, but for this play, she had to make | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
an onstage a zoo. From the designs she has free rein to create the | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
characters using any material she can get. | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
It was a tea strainer. You just squeeze it. Then I made that as a | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
basis of the head and a polystyrene ball on top, latex over the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
stockings and stitch him up and he is ready to go. | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
The play is an adaptation of a classic novel. It is set on the | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
island of Corfu where the author You can see it in your head, what | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
it needs to look like, but making it happen can be a struggle. Many | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
sleepless nights wondering how to do that, but once it is done it is | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
brilliant. In that decade, Beckie has made | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
more than 60 puppets. Some she created ugly, others are more like | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
works of art and some of pantomime caricatures. Like this one. But | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Harry, I am afraid you have been in a cupboard for the past two years, | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
you seem to have lost the use of your jaw. | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
That is the problem about getting old, isn't it? | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
I haven't quite got that, as you realise. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
You didn't look like him, you are You didn't look like him, you are | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
more beautiful than that. I think by 9:30pm you will be able | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
to see the moon, but it is quite hit and miss. We will have 68 this | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
of cloud which means that there will be a proportion of the cloud | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
in front of it. Let's look at the two pictures. The | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
first one is Chesterfield. Beautiful, isn't it. Be second one, | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
a pretty one of the reservoir taken yesterday with all that blue-sky. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
It remains unsettled, here are the headlines for tomorrow. Sunny | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
intervals with scattered showers. This feature will bring heavy rain | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
upfront the south-west by the end of Friday and into Friday night. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Leaving a showery weekend to follow. Summer looks a million miles away. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
We had a downpour here in Leeds and those showers are now pushing | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
through the Vale of Pickering to the North York Moors and will | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
effect Scarborough. It is an unsettled evening to come, there | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
will be a lot of cloud around with a few sunny intervals. There might | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
be a few breaks to see the lunar eclipse, but I think many places | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
will be disappointed. Lowest temperatures tonight, nine or 10 | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
degrees Celsius. The sun rises in the morning at 4:34am. Those are | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
your high-water times. An unsettled day tomorrow, that said decent | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
sunny spells. We will see scattered showers breaking out into the | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
afternoon. One or two could be heavy with the risk of the odd | :26:57. | :27:06. | |
rumble of thunder. The temperatures, a shade down on today's values. We | :27:06. | :27:16. | |
:27:16. | :27:17. | ||
had 20 today. We are generally in the range of 17, 19 degrees. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
We split the sky into eight in meteorology. | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
