:00:05. > :00:08.Good evening, welcome to a new week here on Look North. North
:00:08. > :00:16.Yorkshire's chief constable says sorry. But despite his disciplinary,
:00:16. > :00:22.he claims he's still the best man for the job. It is time this thing
:00:22. > :00:26.was put behind us. He's been talking exclusively to Look North.
:00:26. > :00:31.Also tonight: Open for business again despite a devastating fire at
:00:31. > :00:39.Chesterfield's hospital. And we meet the woman who keeps those big
:00:39. > :00:49.rugby boys in line. These puppies were sweltering in 30 degree heat.
:00:49. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :00:58.Join me for the forecast coming up Figures released this afternoon
:00:58. > :01:02.show it has cost the council tax payers of North Yorkshire almost
:01:02. > :01:07.�220,000 to investigate the conduct of their chief constable Grahame
:01:07. > :01:10.Maxwell. This is on top of �100,000 the Independent Police Complaints
:01:10. > :01:14.Commission spent on its investigation. Mr Mainwaring was
:01:14. > :01:18.found guilty of gross misconduct in helping a family member during
:01:18. > :01:24.their massive police recruitment drive. He avoided sacking and was
:01:24. > :01:28.given a written warning. Today, he spoke exclusively to our crime
:01:28. > :01:33.correspondent. It is time this thing was put behind us. I have got
:01:33. > :01:39.a force that needs to be led. Grahame Maxwell answered questions
:01:39. > :01:42.at the annual meeting of his police authority. But none of them
:01:42. > :01:48.admitted gross much cop -- misconduct Granada until afterwards
:01:48. > :01:52.when we approached them. Since Grahame Maxwell became the first
:01:52. > :01:57.chief constable in 35 years to be found guilty of misconduct, he has
:01:57. > :02:06.maintained a silence, except to say sorry in a brief statement. But
:02:06. > :02:10.today, he spoke exclusively to last. How bad has it been for you? It has
:02:10. > :02:14.been a traumatic period of my life. It is a period which has come to an
:02:14. > :02:21.end, thankfully, and it is one of those things that need to be put
:02:21. > :02:25.behind me. For me to move on and do the job that I love. He did issue
:02:26. > :02:29.an apology which is an acceptance that you did something wrong.
:02:29. > :02:34.didn't realise at the time I was doing something wrong, but since
:02:34. > :02:39.then, I realise I should have seen how other people would feel it.
:02:39. > :02:44.with looming financial cuts and the Maxwell affair, how his morale now
:02:44. > :02:49.in the Yorkshire force's to a wood except that morale is not as high
:02:49. > :02:53.as it was before these changes, but I think we will see the force and
:02:53. > :03:03.rallying. Do you regard this as being a storm
:03:03. > :03:03.
:03:03. > :03:06.in a teacup? Not out off. -- not at all. The force does have its
:03:06. > :03:13.confidence in me. I have had the support of all the officers who
:03:13. > :03:18.work with me and I have be continue in that way. Business as usual?
:03:18. > :03:24.Absolutely. After some difficult offending figures recently, Creme
:03:25. > :03:29.across this North Yorkshire is now enjoying sustained crime reduction.
:03:29. > :03:39.-- Grahame Maxwell access North Yorkshire. Despite his critics, he
:03:39. > :03:42.is staying put in the Chief Constable's chair.
:03:42. > :03:46.Well, Skipton and Ripon MP Julian Smith has been one of Mr Maxwell's
:03:46. > :03:50.fiercest critics. He joins us from our Millbank Studio now. What about
:03:50. > :03:56.the true cost? Does that make it more of a campaign? It is not a
:03:56. > :03:59.campaign, it is simply being transparent about how much all of
:03:59. > :04:03.the scandal has cost the taxpayers of North Yorkshire. Hundreds of
:04:03. > :04:07.thousands of pounds. The key point being that if Mr Maxwell had
:04:07. > :04:11.admitted his guilt several months earlier, hundreds of thousands of
:04:11. > :04:18.pounds would have been saved. debt a wasted time calling his
:04:18. > :04:23.resignation now? You're not the only MP. The forces facing problems,
:04:23. > :04:26.she knew at least give him a chance? I made my Commons a few
:04:26. > :04:30.weeks ago. Since then, the focus has been on asking the police
:04:30. > :04:33.authority, the police force and anybody else involved in this case
:04:33. > :04:42.to be transparent one the numbers. We have a situation where the
:04:42. > :04:44.leader of that force has now admitted serious misconduct.
:04:44. > :04:48.Hundreds of thousands of pounds could have been saved and that
:04:48. > :04:52.money could have been spent on forces and the frontline, my
:04:52. > :04:56.constituencies and constituencies across North Yorkshire. I wonder if
:04:56. > :04:59.the key issue might well be the morale of the force. Mr Maxwell
:04:59. > :05:04.says he has the force behind him. That must be significant if that is
:05:04. > :05:10.the case. What are you hearing? hearing a completely different
:05:10. > :05:15.story. Officers who come up to me think that myself and Nigel Adams
:05:15. > :05:23.had been correct to challenge the police authority and Mr Mainwaring
:05:23. > :05:28.on these figures and his decision to stay. -- and Mr Maxwell.
:05:28. > :05:36.Hundreds of pounds have been wasted when people are trying to manage
:05:36. > :05:39.their horse -- household budgets. Is this the end of it for you?
:05:39. > :05:44.pleased that tonight we have most of the figures that have been
:05:44. > :05:50.involved. Surely all of them? think we have most of the figures.
:05:51. > :05:56.It is up but others to judge, but I think, as the leader of a police
:05:56. > :06:01.force, it needs trust in those who serve under him and the local
:06:01. > :06:06.community. That has been lost. It was last month ago and I think it
:06:06. > :06:09.is a shame. Later in the programme: Incredible
:06:09. > :06:18.edibles. The green-fingered business idea that's really taking
:06:18. > :06:21.off. Chesterfield Royal Hospital has
:06:21. > :06:29.been opened for business today despite his -- devastating fire at
:06:29. > :06:33.the weekend which has cost millions of pounds of damage. Good evening.
:06:33. > :06:42.Bed is the End Of A hot day here at Chesterfield Royal Hospital. Plenty
:06:42. > :06:45.of potential for temperatures to get frayed. The chief executive
:06:45. > :06:50.Sinhalese -- relieved that all their continued see planning had
:06:50. > :06:54.gone smoothly. People were arriving for their appointments as usual. It
:06:54. > :06:58.may look in good order, but inside, part of it are a total write-off
:06:58. > :07:06.and will need to be demolished. The serious fire started late on
:07:06. > :07:10.Saturday evening. It is a friendly welcome, but perhaps not the first
:07:10. > :07:12.impression a major hospital would want to give. The staff have been
:07:12. > :07:17.praised for the way they have got the building back in action, even
:07:17. > :07:24.though the main entrance is closed. It wasn't too bad at all. They are
:07:24. > :07:30.coping well. Everything was fine. Business as normal. Lots of people
:07:30. > :07:33.around helping. It is incredible to think this devastating fire was
:07:33. > :07:41.caused by an electrical fault in a vending machine. It started on
:07:41. > :07:45.Saturday night. The waiting area and main entrance were badly
:07:45. > :07:50.damaged and it will cost millions of pounds to repair. The A&E
:07:50. > :07:56.department, which was evacuated on Saturday evening, was a reopened on
:07:56. > :07:59.Sunday afternoon at 1pm. We were back in production then. We have
:07:59. > :08:03.remained open to outpatients and we are still admitting people for
:08:03. > :08:06.surgery. This temporary entrance might not be the most attractive
:08:06. > :08:10.front door for the hospital, but it means the building can stay open.
:08:10. > :08:13.They will be no cancellations for patients, but they have been warned
:08:13. > :08:18.they may need to break longer or walk to a different part of the
:08:18. > :08:23.building. As for the main entrance, the structural damage is so severe,
:08:23. > :08:33.it took -- it could take months to reopen. Right now, the priority is
:08:33. > :08:33.
:08:33. > :08:37.cleaning up what they can. With a long road to rebuild think ahead. -
:08:37. > :08:44.- rebuilding. They get the strike or ports on the building and then
:08:44. > :08:50.that will indicate how much money need to be spent. The chief
:08:50. > :08:56.executive tells us that sprinklers are not a legal requirement to be
:08:56. > :08:59.fitted. A long, difficult clean up for Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
:08:59. > :09:03.West Yorkshire Police at a pioneering scheme which names and
:09:03. > :09:06.shames convicted criminals. The public can now go on to the force's
:09:06. > :09:10.website and see photographs of offenders and a crime they have
:09:10. > :09:14.been jailed for. The government say they want to rule out the same idea
:09:14. > :09:17.across the country. Detectives are appealing big

:10:30. > :10:34.process. Radiation burns were a side effect and have left many with
:10:34. > :10:39.the impression that this is that -- a treatment of last resort. Not any
:10:39. > :10:43.more. They have been huge advances in the last decade. Now it is
:10:43. > :10:52.suitable for 50 % of cancer patients, on its own or in
:10:52. > :10:55.combination with chemotherapy or surgery. We are much better at
:10:55. > :11:03.getting conform all radiotherapy were picking give high doses to
:11:03. > :11:07.small areas and we can preserve the natural tissue around. It starts
:11:07. > :11:11.with careful planning in medical physics with a pinpoint the tune
:11:11. > :11:14.and the radiation minutely. We can see that the brain is complete we
:11:15. > :11:19.sped of the radiotherapy at this point. One advantage for some
:11:19. > :11:23.patients might be that it is used instead of surgery and therefore
:11:23. > :11:28.allows preservation of the organ so that an organ does not need to be
:11:28. > :11:36.removed. It has just as good outcome. This woman knows all about
:11:36. > :11:41.good outcomes. While pregnant, she had surgery for breast cancer. Four

:11:53. > :11:57.things with a radiotherapy, so I was a bit apprehensive. But you
:11:57. > :12:05.don't feel anything. Your skin goes a bit red but you keep putting the
:12:06. > :12:12.cream on, and other than that it was fine. Nobody knew I had had it.
:12:13. > :12:19.Let's hope that for Margaret besieging the feeling is the same.

:13:37. > :13:42.food prices rise, there are business opportunities for growers.
:13:42. > :13:47.Food prices are going up and people want to grow their own things so
:13:47. > :13:53.they can sell them to other people. It is something more people should

:14:53. > :14:58.has been a nice little spat between boxers on Twitter. Before the fight,
:14:58. > :15:02.Kell's opponent was being questioned. He was like, come on,
:15:02. > :15:04.let us get it on. It all went a bit quiet after that!
:15:04. > :15:07.Well, 14,000 fans packed Hillsborough Leisure Centre for
:15:07. > :15:10.Kell's home-coming, which is just across the road from his home, and
:15:10. > :15:13.he actually walked to the fight! He was up against the tough South
:15:13. > :15:16.African Lovemore N'dou, who had never been stopped in his 62-fight
:15:16. > :15:19.career. Kell did have him in trouble a couple of times, with
:15:19. > :15:22.N'dou holding on towards the end. It was Brook's first 12 rounder,
:15:22. > :15:28.and a solid performance saw him win by a majority decision, winning the
:15:28. > :15:31.WBA Intercontinental Welterweight belt in the process.
:15:31. > :15:35.In cricket, Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan has been added to England's one day

:15:58. > :16:00.Cooke. And after back-to-back wins in the
:16:00. > :16:05.world series, Leeds's Alistair Brownlee beat brother Jonny to the
:16:05. > :16:09.European triathlon title. He did it despite getting a puncture in the
:16:09. > :16:13.cycling, and pulled clear of the field in the run. Nice to see some
:16:13. > :16:16.brotherly love! And it was quite a weekend for
:16:16. > :16:20.Leeds kayaker Claire O'Hara, who won two world titles this weekend
:16:20. > :16:26.in Germany. She came out on top in both the squirt boat and freestyle
:16:26. > :16:29.kayak competitions. Now, Hilda Hardy made national
:16:29. > :16:33.headlines recently when she saved a Super League game from being called
:16:33. > :16:37.off. The kit lady abandoned her gardening to dig out a spare strip
:16:37. > :16:39.when opposing teams both turned up in white. Well, our reporter Ian
:16:40. > :16:49.Bucknell caught up with Hilda yesterday and discovered that she's
:16:50. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:57.always been a bit of a hero. Morning, lads! Are you all right?
:16:57. > :17:01.Hilda is much more than a kick lady at this rugby league club. She is a
:17:01. > :17:07.motivational speaker, and self- confessed mother hen who won't
:17:07. > :17:13.stand for it when she hears one of the lads burping. It was you,
:17:13. > :17:17.wasn't it, James? Yes it was! definitely wasn't me. Hilda has
:17:17. > :17:22.been keeping the boys in check for over 30 years. She was introduced
:17:22. > :17:28.to the club by her husband, on the left in this picture. When he was
:17:28. > :17:37.alive, they looked after the kit and the players together. We had a
:17:37. > :17:45.good working relationship. We were like two bookends. We just worked
:17:45. > :17:55.together. It kept me sane at the end of the day. I had somewhere to
:17:55. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:09.go in the morning. And nobody to The under 23s game is under way,
:18:09. > :18:12.and Halifax score first in front of their number one fan. Hilda's next
:18:12. > :18:17.job is in the hospitality area, serving drinks and a warm welcome.
:18:17. > :18:26.She does not get much of the chance to watch the game, and when she
:18:26. > :18:30.does, the senior Halifax team are struggling. Big game heads towards
:18:30. > :18:36.defeat for Halifax. Long after most of their fans had gone home, Hilda
:18:36. > :18:40.will clear away the empty, and then start on washing the kit. It is a
:18:40. > :18:50.12 hour day for which she is paid nothing. She does it for the love
:18:50. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:55.of the club and the memory of What a legend.
:18:55. > :18:58.Now, this week, Leeds is playing host to the International Jewish
:18:58. > :19:01.Performing Arts Festival - the only one of its kind in Western Europe -
:19:01. > :19:04.which has a mix of live music, drama, film and of course, an
:19:04. > :19:09.abundance of comedy. The festival opened last night with
:19:09. > :19:12.the woman known as the Jewish Victoria Wood. In a moment, we'll
:19:12. > :19:22.be talking to comedienne Kate Shortt, but first here's a taste of
:19:22. > :19:32.her brand of humour. This is how I play my cello. People say it sounds
:19:32. > :19:42.so mellow. Mellow, cello, so much easier than a fellow. This is how I
:19:42. > :19:43.
:19:43. > :19:51.play my cello. Thinking of painting a yellow. Yellow, cello, when it
:19:51. > :19:55.cracks are used Sellotape. It must be difficult to get your mum and
:19:55. > :19:59.song at the same time. Normally Fermi the music comes first. I
:19:59. > :20:03.think, I like that ditty, I will see if I can come up with some
:20:03. > :20:08.words. Is it fundamentally Jewish humour? And not necessarily,
:20:09. > :20:15.although that can come into it. It is based on life experience, love,
:20:15. > :20:20.inner-city schoolchildren, things that annoy people. There is a song
:20:20. > :20:30.about things that can irritate us about people, so I get the
:20:30. > :20:32.
:20:32. > :20:35.audience... You are lemon juice in my it open wind, that sort of thing.
:20:35. > :20:39.I do something about the idea of the English National Opera going
:20:39. > :20:49.into inner-city schools are helping them write an opera. The idea of
:20:49. > :20:54.
:20:54. > :21:02.the kids writing an opera about street talk. It is a wholesome real
:21:02. > :21:10.dichotomy. The Victoria would label is difficult to live up to. Yes, I
:21:10. > :21:14.followed her and she is fantastic. I grew up watching her. You have
:21:14. > :21:20.strong links with Leeds. Yes, I went to music college in the
:21:20. > :21:26.eighties. It is a stunning new building. Be used to be in the
:21:26. > :21:31.burry opposite the supermarket. I was on the jazz course. So have you
:21:31. > :21:36.got more dates to play in this festival? Yes, tomorrow night I am
:21:36. > :21:41.back again. How did you find the audience? You engage with then?
:21:42. > :21:50.do. I get them involved and I certainly towards the end get them
:21:50. > :21:55.singing and playing instruments. I do a lot of audience stuff. How big
:21:55. > :22:01.a deal do you think the festival is these days? See it, it is to -- it
:22:01. > :22:10.has been going on for 11 years now. One of my favourite people his goal
:22:10. > :22:19.oaken. He is amazing. Hilarious, brilliant. There are some very
:22:19. > :22:27.funny, satirical comedians there. And you have an album out as well.
:22:27. > :22:31.Great, thank you! My album! Thank Keith. Good luck with that.
:22:31. > :22:33.There's no doubt about it, but today is a record breaker, with the
