:00:04. > :00:06.Good evening and welcome to Look North. The headlines this Friday
:00:06. > :00:11.evening: Incompetent police and killers that
:00:11. > :00:14.got away with murder. James Kamara was shot and killed on
:00:14. > :00:19.the streets of Sheffield two years ago and today his mother condemns
:00:19. > :00:24.the police investigation. Sometimes I dream about him and when I wake
:00:24. > :00:27.up it is like I do not want to break up and I want to go back into
:00:27. > :00:31.my dream. Also tonight:
:00:31. > :00:34.D-Day for campaigners. It is the final day of public
:00:34. > :00:36.consultation over plans that could see the closure of Leeds Children's
:00:36. > :00:41.Heart Unit. And a lot of money for a lottery
:00:41. > :00:47.winner, the Barnsley boy who has come into money. And joining me for
:00:47. > :00:57.the weather. Will the sunshine last? I will have the full forecast
:00:57. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:03.later. Two years ago James Kamara died
:01:03. > :01:06.after a drive by shooting in Sheffield. Arrests were made but no
:01:06. > :01:08.one was found guilty of his murder. Today his mother has made an
:01:08. > :01:11.official complaint to South Yorkshire Police branding them
:01:11. > :01:14.incompetent in the handling of the investigation into James's death
:01:14. > :01:24.and other shootings in the city. We can hear more from our
:01:24. > :01:26.
:01:27. > :01:31.correspondent in Sheffield. This is Brunswick Street and people have
:01:31. > :01:37.been leaving flowers here because this is where James Kamara died. He
:01:37. > :01:42.was sat in a car when another car came down the street and someone
:01:42. > :01:47.opened fire and James received a fatal injuries. The police
:01:47. > :01:51.commander at the time said that justice would be done but two years
:01:51. > :01:58.on the reality could not be more different. So times I dream about
:01:58. > :02:05.him. When I wake up I do not want to wake up. I want to go back into
:02:05. > :02:10.my dream and I can and must feel him there. His mother is still
:02:10. > :02:14.grieving and asking why her family has not seen justice done. Her
:02:14. > :02:22.sense of loss is compounded by a feeling of it being let down by the
:02:23. > :02:29.police investigation. They know that something went wrong. I do not
:02:29. > :02:33.think that they are going to accept that. I think they are incompetent.
:02:33. > :02:37.Police quickly made five arrests and will last year four men were
:02:37. > :02:41.tried for murder. They were found not guilty and there has been
:02:42. > :02:47.virtually no progress since then. They thought I would shut up then
:02:47. > :02:53.and let them get on with their job. If they would have done it correct
:02:53. > :02:55.in the first place I would not have to. She has contacted the
:02:55. > :03:01.Independent Police Complaints Commission and his filing an
:03:01. > :03:06.independent complaint with South torture police. They have now just
:03:06. > :03:11.decided to get in touch with me. What does that say about them?
:03:11. > :03:16.other fatal shootings have led to high profile court cases here but
:03:16. > :03:22.there had been no convictions. A suspect in an earlier case was
:03:22. > :03:26.acquitted after a retrial. After another man was killed another
:03:26. > :03:36.trial collapsed after all on the evidence was what Ron. This is now
:03:36. > :03:43.being investigated by the I PPC. -- evidence was withdrawn. There have
:03:43. > :03:48.been shootings and stabbings. Shootings are not a good sign.
:03:48. > :03:57.James's mother is determined to fight on for justice. I will not
:03:57. > :04:02.have James back but they have got away with murder. And now one for
:04:02. > :04:08.the development. We have discovered that the officer who investigated
:04:08. > :04:13.two of these aforementioned murder inquiries have now -- has now been
:04:13. > :04:20.moved away to a different role. South Yorkshire police and will not
:04:20. > :04:23.speak to us about this but they have issued a statement.
:04:23. > :04:25.They say: "A review of the investigation was undertaken by a
:04:25. > :04:27.senior detective superintendent and no significant other lines of
:04:27. > :04:30.enquiry were identified. There was no suggestion that this
:04:30. > :04:33.investigation had been pursued less vigorously because the victim had
:04:33. > :04:38.himself been a gang member. The case remains open and is regularly
:04:38. > :04:40.monitored and reviewed by the Force's Major Incident Team."
:04:40. > :04:43.The National Audit Office has savaged the last government's
:04:43. > :04:46.project of building nine new super fire control centres, including the
:04:46. > :04:48.one in Wakefield. The coalition has now scrapped the scheme. But a
:04:48. > :04:51.report today reveals the project has cost nearly half-a-billion
:04:51. > :05:01.pounds. Taxpayers in Yorkshire alone are having to fund a monthly
:05:01. > :05:08.
:05:08. > :05:13.rent bill of �100,000. It was supposed to have saved money and
:05:13. > :05:16.increased security against terrorists. The centre would have
:05:16. > :05:23.served al four fire raids across the Yorkshire and Humberside but
:05:23. > :05:30.now it is a building that will not be used. -- al four fire brigade.
:05:31. > :05:36.In last year's election campaign, David Cameron talked to a fire
:05:36. > :05:45.fighter about saving money. It is now costing �420 million. We have
:05:45. > :05:55.to stop that in its tracks. Ministers soon identified problems
:05:55. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:02.in the current issue presenters. This is worrying. Today, a
:06:02. > :06:08.firefighters Union has agreed that the scheme had been flawed from the
:06:08. > :06:15.beginning. They have been settled with a massive bill and the rent
:06:15. > :06:20.goes on for the next 20 years. The money could have been better spent
:06:20. > :06:29.defending frontline emergency services. It involves �469 million
:06:29. > :06:34.at least of a wasted taxpayers' money. No new IT system was
:06:34. > :06:39.delivered after seven years. It is a comprehensive failure. Wakefield
:06:39. > :06:44.and eight out of nine of the other Super fire control centres across
:06:44. > :06:51.England now stand idle and unwanted. There are costing money and no one
:06:51. > :06:54.seems to know what to do with them. -- a day are costing money.

:06:57. > :06:59.lead to these scenes in Wetherby this afternoon?
:06:59. > :07:02.A public consultation into the future of children's heart surgery
:07:02. > :07:05.in Yorkshire ends today. The unit at the Leeds General Infirmary
:07:05. > :07:08.could close as part of plans to pool resources in fewer, larger
:07:08. > :07:11.centres. Half a million people have signed a petition opposing the
:07:11. > :07:13.plans to shut the Leeds unit. At the moment it has three surgeons
:07:13. > :07:16.performing heart surgery on children from Yorkshire. They carry
:07:16. > :07:20.out approximately 350 operations a year but that is likely to increase
:07:20. > :07:30.in the future. The unit can serve a large population as it's within a
:07:30. > :07:39.
:07:40. > :07:47.This is where children in Yorkshire needing heart surgery come and this
:07:47. > :07:51.is what surgeries -- families have been coming to save. We now wait
:07:51. > :07:56.for a decision on whether operations will continue here. We
:07:56. > :08:03.will be hearing from people who had been fighting in Leeds corner but
:08:03. > :08:08.let's look at how we got to this point. It has been a public and
:08:08. > :08:14.passionate fight but now the battle to protect the future of children's
:08:14. > :08:18.heart surgery in Leeds is out of their hands. There are currently 11
:08:18. > :08:24.units in England but a review has recommended that number is cut said
:08:24. > :08:31.that expertise can be pulled in larger centres. -- so that
:08:31. > :08:37.expertise can be pulled. Some families will be forced to travel
:08:37. > :08:41.to Liverpool or Newcastle instead. Last week campaigners handed over a
:08:41. > :08:45.petition signed by half a million people to Downing Street. It is
:08:45. > :08:53.thought to be the biggest ever regional petition. Now families and
:08:53. > :08:58.the surgeons can only wait for the final decision. Let me introduce
:08:58. > :09:06.you to Vicky and baby Imogen. Can you tell me what happened with
:09:06. > :09:11.Imogen? 10 years ago we came into casualty. She was diagnosed with a
:09:11. > :09:16.heart condition which means that one of the four chambers of the
:09:16. > :09:20.hard was covered with a membrane and she was rushed to emergency
:09:20. > :09:25.care and had to have a life-saving operation. She is doing
:09:25. > :09:31.fantastically well now. Why is it so important for you both that the
:09:31. > :09:35.Leeds unit stays open with a heart surgery for children? For Imogen is
:09:35. > :09:41.it -- it is a case of having no other option. Without Leeds she
:09:41. > :09:49.would not be here. It saved her life. Trying to go to Newcastle in
:09:49. > :09:54.the commission she was in his out of the question. Thank you both.
:09:54. > :10:04.Let's speak to Kevin's who is one of the senior surgeons here. What
:10:04. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:09.happens now? Now we await. The committee that makes this decision
:10:09. > :10:13.will go through all of the documents that had been sent
:10:13. > :10:20.through the consultation period over the last few months and then
:10:20. > :10:26.we'll come to some recommendation of which centres -- then it will,
:10:26. > :10:31.to some recommendation of which centres will go closed. I have no
:10:31. > :10:35.idea what the committee in their wisdom will recommend. If his unit
:10:35. > :10:41.in Leeds is to stay open the one in Newcastle would have to close but
:10:41. > :10:49.there has been a campaign there as well. Surgeons have said that
:10:49. > :10:53.Newcastle can offer complete chaos at -- complete care. We can only
:10:53. > :10:58.wait to hear what the people making the final decision think of the
:10:58. > :11:00.documents. Two Sheffield care homes that were
:11:00. > :11:03.threatened with closure could now remain open. Woodland View and
:11:03. > :11:06.Birch Avenue provide long term care for people with Alzheimers and
:11:06. > :11:08.dementia. NHS Sheffield had said it could no longer afford the �2.8
:11:08. > :11:18.million in funding. But after consultation its board is being
:11:18. > :11:21.advised to back a plan to keep the homes open for people with dementia.
:11:21. > :11:24.A verdict of suicide has been recorded at the inquest into the
:11:24. > :11:27.death of a man from Sowerby Bridge. Stephen Lumb died alongside a woman
:11:27. > :11:31.he had met on the internet. The 35- year-old travelled 200 miles to
:11:31. > :11:38.meet Joanne Lee in a suicide pact. They were found dead in a car on an
:11:38. > :11:42.industrial estate in Essex last September. A new mobile police

:13:43. > :13:47.in Wetherby, and it is telling me there is a stash by this river. If
:13:47. > :13:56.I went there I would find a little plastic box filled with trinkets
:13:56. > :14:00.and children can swap them. So far, so harmless, but it seems that it
:14:00. > :14:04.could have triggered a major incident in Wetherby this afternoon.
:14:04. > :14:09.The centre of the town was shut down and a bomb disposal unit was
:14:09. > :14:16.called after a man was seen acting suspiciously outside a cafe. A

:14:24. > :14:29.had never heard of geer cashing but she has now. This morning a member
:14:29. > :14:32.of staff told me that they had seen a man putting something under the
:14:32. > :14:36.plans. We were busy at the time and I thought I would come down and
:14:36. > :14:42.have a look. I looked at the package and it looked like a
:14:42. > :14:49.plastic box with duct tape on it. A couple of the customers were a bit
:14:49. > :14:53.nervous and the staff would arise so I called the police and -- staff
:14:53. > :14:57.were nervous so I called the police and told them about the man and the
:14:57. > :15:01.police came out and had a look and thought they did not like the look
:15:01. > :15:10.at it. The sergeant came out and had a look at it and they decided
:15:10. > :15:14.to cordon off the area. A 20-year- old man has been arrested on
:15:14. > :15:20.suspicion of causing a public nuisance. Meanwhile Wetherby is
