:00:07. > :00:12.Good Evening and welcome to Thursday's Look North. On the
:00:12. > :00:16.programme, outrage as fresh allegations of phone hacking by the
:00:16. > :00:20.News of the World hit Yorkshire. The Shipley widow of a soldier
:00:20. > :00:25.killed in Iraq could have been another victim.
:00:25. > :00:31.Also tonight, it's ten years since the Bradford riots, but is
:00:31. > :00:35.segregation still an issue in the schools? I'm on White about yi Road
:00:35. > :00:41.where ten years ago rioters tore the street apart. We'll find out is
:00:41. > :00:46.Bradford is more integrated -- white Abbey Road. We discover the
:00:46. > :00:51.crazy new craze of barefoot running. There's been some heavy showers
:00:51. > :01:01.around and there's more of the same tomorrow. Join me later for your
:01:01. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:09.Thanks for joining us. Our main story tonight is claims that the
:01:09. > :01:12.tiply widow of a soldier killed in Iraq may have been a victim of the
:01:12. > :01:19.News of the World phone hacking scandal. Samantha Roberts' husband
:01:19. > :01:21.was killed in Basra in 2003. In a dramatic development, News
:01:21. > :01:24.International has announced that the News of the World will close
:01:24. > :01:28.after a final edition this Sunday. We'll speak to the MP and the
:01:28. > :01:32.former journalist, Austin Mitchell, about today's developments, but
:01:32. > :01:38.first, this report on the allegation that Samantha Roberts'
:01:38. > :01:41.phone was also hacked. Samantha Roberts was thrust into
:01:41. > :01:45.the public spotlight after her husband became one of the first
:01:45. > :01:49.British soldiers killed in the Iraq war. Sergeant Stephen Roberts was
:01:49. > :01:54.accidentally shot by one of his own men. He wasn't wearing a bullet
:01:54. > :02:03.proof vest because of kit shortages. So out of order that you can send
:02:03. > :02:07.these men out to fight a war for their country and not provide them
:02:07. > :02:11.with basic equipment. Solicitors acting for Samantha have been
:02:11. > :02:15.contacted about the newspaper phone hacking scandal. Samantha was
:02:15. > :02:19.living here in Shipley when her husband was killed in Iraq. Police
:02:19. > :02:22.have not confirmed that she is part of their investigation into the
:02:22. > :02:25.News of the World but the suggestion she may have been a
:02:25. > :02:31.victim of phone hacking has shocked people here today.
:02:31. > :02:36.People have no privacy any more have they. It's definitely wrong, I
:02:36. > :02:41.feel sorry for the families. it's true, it's the lowest of the
:02:41. > :02:45.low, it's absolutely appalling. Apart from the fact that it's
:02:45. > :02:51.somebody's privacy, it's somebody's grief. Soldiers and the phone
:02:51. > :02:55.hacking is scary. If it happened to them, it can happen to anyone.
:02:55. > :02:59.Peter from Batley lost his son Sean in the Iraq war. Do you think your
:02:59. > :03:02.phone could have been hacked? because I were involved, it may
:03:02. > :03:05.have been, but hopefully not and I don't think so, I don't think I
:03:06. > :03:10.were that important in the campaign, but it may well have been, yes,
:03:10. > :03:15.we'll have to wait and see. To think that any human being would
:03:15. > :03:19.sink to low as to take advantage of that, it just sickens me. This
:03:19. > :03:28.afternoon, News International announced Sunday's edition of the
:03:28. > :03:32.News of the World will be the last. The news that the News of the World
:03:32. > :03:36.newspaper is going to close after a final edition this Sunday actually
:03:36. > :03:42.comes after a number of high profile Yorkshire companies pulled
:03:42. > :03:48.out of advertising campaigns in the paper. The Bradford-based
:03:48. > :03:53.supermarket chain Morrisons cancelled ad space it had taken out
:03:53. > :03:58.for Sunday. ASDA took a similar step, as did Halifax. MP Austin
:03:58. > :04:03.Mitchell joins me now who used to work as a journalist. First of all,
:04:03. > :04:07.your reaction that the News of the World will close? I shall not will
:04:07. > :04:12.horrifyed that the News of the World will close, I never read it
:04:12. > :04:19.and wasn't particularly interested in who was seducing who, I'm too
:04:19. > :04:24.old for that. It was a sordid newspaper. But my intention of
:04:24. > :04:28.putting down on this was not to allow the journalists to lose their
:04:28. > :04:32.jobs. It's important to get the viepers cleaned out and to stop the
:04:32. > :04:37.practices that were being used, buying police evidence and bugging
:04:37. > :04:42.people's phones. These are allegations at the moment. They are,
:04:42. > :04:46.but News International has admitted that money was paid to police,
:04:46. > :04:51.substantial sum of money, and also that a lot of people's phones were
:04:51. > :04:56.hacked. Now, I think the public isn't too shocked at hacking of
:04:56. > :05:00.telephones of politicians, but it's horrified at the hacking phones of
:05:00. > :05:03.ordinary people, families in court and the families of soldiers who've
:05:03. > :05:08.been killed in Afghanistan. That's monstrous.
:05:08. > :05:12.I don't know if you were shocked. Were you surprised at the
:05:12. > :05:16.allegations or just a cynical journalist? I was amazed actually
:05:16. > :05:19.that journal is could get up to this. It's a long time since I was
:05:19. > :05:24.a journalist, but this would have been totallyen acceptable in my day
:05:24. > :05:28.and it is now. You can't do that kind of thing. Journalism is the
:05:28. > :05:32.pursuit of truth and evidence but not by any means and certainly not
:05:32. > :05:35.by means of corrupting police and not by means of hacking people's
:05:35. > :05:38.phones. There have been hints of some sort of inquiry deferred until
:05:38. > :05:42.after a police investigation. How deep should that inquiry be and who
:05:42. > :05:45.should run it? There should be an inquiry led by a
:05:45. > :05:49.judge and it should be set up quickly. The Government is
:05:49. > :05:52.hesitating and dragging its feet. I don't think they want the box of
:05:52. > :05:57.worms to be opened. I think there has to be an inquiry because the
:05:57. > :06:00.public's got to be reassured, we've got to know what went on, who was
:06:00. > :06:06.responsible for it and those people have to be brought to justice.
:06:06. > :06:10.There must be an inquiry and also a moratorium on the Murdoch take-over
:06:10. > :06:12.of Sky. I think that's the exact reason that it's closed down, the
:06:12. > :06:15.News of the World, he wants to show himself respectable in doing
:06:15. > :06:21.something about it so that the take-over of Sky can go ahead
:06:21. > :06:25.because that's going to be a cash cow for the Murdoch international
:06:25. > :06:30.newspapers. Very briefly, who do you think led to this decision? Was
:06:30. > :06:33.it the companies, the advertisers losing money or people power?
:06:34. > :06:38.think it's Murdoch making himself respectable so the take-over of Sky
:06:38. > :06:43.can go ahead and that's what he's intended. I think this company is
:06:43. > :06:47.not fit and proper people, they wouldn't be able to run a London
:06:47. > :06:50.cab company, they shouldn't be allowed to run a monopoly, a huge
:06:50. > :06:53.monopoly, the second biggest television system in Britain and
:06:53. > :06:56.the first most profitable. Thank you.
:06:57. > :07:01.Also on the programme tonight: On the tenth anniversary of the
:07:01. > :07:05.Bradford riots, there's concerns that schools in the city are still
:07:05. > :07:09.too racially segregated. Less than a quarter of schools are mixed and
:07:09. > :07:16.that's despite calls from the man who wrote the report into the riots
:07:16. > :07:19.for integration. Our reporter is live for us in Bradford tonight.
:07:19. > :07:24.Spencer, there, the scene tonight so very different from ten years
:07:24. > :07:28.ago? Yes, I was here at the bottom of this street ten years ago around
:07:28. > :07:32.about now exactly on white Abbey Road at the bottom of this road and
:07:32. > :07:36.rioters were here making their way up, hundreds of them dismantling
:07:36. > :07:41.walls, taking bricks and stones from the walls and hurling them at
:07:41. > :07:45.police. A report into the riot found out that one of the possible
:07:45. > :07:50.causes was segregation in Bradford schools. In many cases, that
:07:50. > :07:55.segregation continues. This is Springwood Community Primary and it
:07:55. > :07:58.has 99.4% of its children coming from an ethnic minority group. Some
:07:58. > :08:04.people say that's a problem, others disagree. The figures have been
:08:04. > :08:08.changing in different schools over the years. That's what I've been
:08:08. > :08:12.finding out today on the anniversary of the riots.
:08:12. > :08:17.A world record attempt in a Bradford park. Hundreds of children
:08:17. > :08:25.trying to get into the Guinness Book Of Records for the largest
:08:25. > :08:28.number of people singing, If You're Happy and you know it Clap Your
:08:28. > :08:32.Hands. This is unusual because these children are from different
:08:32. > :08:37.cultures and communities. In schools, on a day-to-day basis,
:08:37. > :08:46.that isn't always happening. Efforts are being made to overcome
:08:46. > :08:49.the divide. At this business and enterprise college, 9% of students
:08:49. > :08:55.are Asian. They have cultural lessons but that doesn't routinely
:08:55. > :08:58.involve mixing with children from those different backgrounds. That
:08:58. > :09:02.becomes logistically very difficult and that's also unrequired, I don't
:09:02. > :09:05.see a need to do that. The culture here is one that we should be proud
:09:05. > :09:09.of and the students are proud of their own heritage. An official
:09:09. > :09:14.report into what caused the riots saw the need for more integration.
:09:14. > :09:18.It's said schools should aim to be mixed and suggested a mixed school
:09:18. > :09:22.is where no more than three quarters of pupils are from one
:09:22. > :09:25.ethnic background. In Bradford today, 24% of schools fit that
:09:25. > :09:28.criteria. That's a change from ten years ago when the figure was just
:09:28. > :09:31.14%. But the author of the report into
:09:31. > :09:36.the riots says more needs to be done.
:09:36. > :09:43.It is clearly a very segregated community on whatever score you use.
:09:43. > :09:49.There's clearly a very high number of segregated schools and local
:09:49. > :09:53.communities. By confast in Oldham, they've atefplted to merge all
:09:53. > :09:58.Asian and all white schools as a more drastic measure of bringing,
:09:58. > :10:00.not just the children, but the parents and the communities
:10:00. > :10:05.together. Bradford as a twinning programme involving 100 schools,
:10:05. > :10:09.but the idea of forcing schools to integrate is rejected by the
:10:09. > :10:15.council. Integration is a word I wouldn't even use. I think people
:10:15. > :10:17.should be encouraged to understand people from every cultural heritage,
:10:17. > :10:20.every social and economic background so that we live in a
:10:20. > :10:26.community where everyone is respected. People live where they
:10:26. > :10:31.live often as a result of economic necessity and therefore the schools
:10:31. > :10:34.in a particular area reflect the people who live in it. Ten years on,
:10:34. > :10:40.there's still a fares debate about how far communities and schools in
:10:40. > :10:44.particular should be encouraged to integrate.
:10:44. > :10:49.The pictures we saw there were of white Abbey Road a decade ago. This
:10:49. > :10:53.is the road tonight, an extremely peaceful street in Bradford.
:10:53. > :10:57.Despite the debates about integration and segregation,
:10:57. > :11:01.Bradford's maintained its peace and has been riot free.
:11:01. > :11:08.Back to you. Joining us now in the studio to
:11:08. > :11:12.discuss this are Jenny Pearce, the author of a book and the former
:11:13. > :11:17.Mayor of Bradford, Mohammed aJeep. You were the first Asian Lord Mayor.
:11:17. > :11:21.Jerny, you first, how much of a problem is it in Bradford that
:11:21. > :11:25.there is still this segregation? Well, there is de facto segregation,
:11:25. > :11:29.but I think we have a problem in how we frame this. People tend to
:11:29. > :11:34.talk about the issue as if it's about different ethnic communities,
:11:34. > :11:38.we have to remember it's also about class. So if we look at people in
:11:38. > :11:41.Ilkley who are very wealthy, they're living in a distinct part
:11:41. > :11:45.of Bradford and often turn their back on the inner city and think
:11:45. > :11:49.they don't belong to it. So we have to think, how are we talking about
:11:49. > :11:54.this and why. The second point I would make is that Bradford's in a
:11:54. > :11:59.catch-22 because I think evidence suggests that with economic
:11:59. > :12:02.progress, communities move and they move to wherever they can find a
:12:02. > :12:06.nice house and the social mobility. But without the economic mobility,
:12:07. > :12:11.clearly it does matter that people are still living in poverty and
:12:11. > :12:14.living in places perhaps with just the people like them and in that
:12:14. > :12:18.sense, I think there is an issue and we have to start talking. I
:12:18. > :12:21.don't like integration, but I like interaction. So it's about social
:12:21. > :12:25.background in many ways, is what you are saying. Mohammed, you
:12:25. > :12:29.talked about bussing people around, as a way to get further integration.
:12:29. > :12:34.Do you still go along with that? think so. I think the reason being
:12:34. > :12:42.that we have waited nearly half a century and if we wait another 25
:12:42. > :12:46.or 30 years, before the minority communities improve their economic
:12:46. > :12:50.situations whereby they're probably moving to bad areas of housing in
:12:50. > :12:54.Ilkley, then we assume that the children will get into mixed
:12:54. > :12:59.schools. That hasn't happened, doesn't seem that it will happen
:12:59. > :13:07.within the next decade or so. Therefore, I think there is now an
:13:07. > :13:09.acute and pressing need to consider very seriously how we can try to
:13:10. > :13:13.improve the situation in our schools where the children at an
:13:13. > :13:18.early age actually have the opportunity to interact
:13:18. > :13:22.meaningfully with each other, understanding each other's culture
:13:22. > :13:29.and then we can probably expect a better future. There's been
:13:29. > :13:34.progress, but has that been sufficient? We are looking at
:13:34. > :13:39.Spencer's piece there, and there has been some progress? Still the
:13:39. > :13:44.situation is the same as it was ten years ago, but the area of
:13:44. > :13:48.education for me still remains the greatest worry as for the future of
:13:49. > :13:53.peace and harmony. A final thought. Could this happen again what we saw
:13:53. > :13:58.back ten years ago? I think Bradford's moved on from having a
:13:58. > :14:03.riot and it came together around an effort to provoke the young men
:14:03. > :14:06.into rioting in August of last year when the EDL came. I also want to
:14:06. > :14:10.say that actually, yes, we want more interaction, but there are
:14:10. > :14:14.schools in Bradford that are quite all Asian and that do very well.
:14:14. > :14:17.It's not just an issue of bringing people together, but also of
:14:17. > :14:20.putting resources into education and enabling people to meet with
:14:20. > :14:25.others perhaps in a more organic way.
:14:25. > :14:30.Thank you both very much. Stay with us. Later tonight: A new
:14:30. > :14:36.chapter - we meet the village which went to the pub to find out how to
:14:36. > :14:40.run its library. This is a story that shocked a lot
:14:40. > :14:44.of us. Campers are warned about the dangers of using charcoal barbecues
:14:44. > :14:50.in enclosed spaces after a civilian police worker from Yorkshire died
:14:50. > :14:54.from carbon dioxide poisoning. The body of Hazel was found near Great
:14:54. > :14:58.Yarmouth in Norfolk. Her boyfriend is still being treated in hospital.
:14:58. > :15:04.It was meant to be an enjoyable few days staying at this campsite near
:15:04. > :15:08.the Norfolk coast. But Hazel's trip to Great Yarmouth ended in tragedy.
:15:08. > :15:12.The 30-year-old from Huddersfield is thought to have died from fumes
:15:12. > :15:16.caused by a charcoal barbecue which had been taken inside her tent. She
:15:16. > :15:21.was filmed by Look North a few weeks ago, working as civilian
:15:21. > :15:24.Scenes of Crimes officer for West Yorkshire police in Leeds. Her 40-
:15:24. > :15:27.year-old partner, an academic at Cranfield university in
:15:27. > :15:33.Bedfordshire, is being treated in hospital in Norfolk. Tonight, his
:15:33. > :15:37.condition is described as stable. It's believed they've been using a
:15:37. > :15:41.disposable charcoal barbecue similar to this one unaware of the
:15:41. > :15:44.possible dangers. Even on a day like today when it's raining, these
:15:44. > :15:48.things are hot and dangerous. You wouldn't want to put this inside
:15:48. > :15:52.your tent. But what about when it seems to have gone out. What do you
:15:52. > :15:56.think? A lot of people use these instant barbecues even when they
:15:56. > :16:01.appear to have gone out and they're smouldering there and are quite
:16:01. > :16:05.warm to touch. You can smell it now. There's still carbon dioxide and
:16:05. > :16:09.vapours and fumes coming from them. So should we not be cooking inside
:16:09. > :16:17.tents? It's safe to cook inside with the proper camping equipment
:16:18. > :16:23.and the gas and stoves. Stacey lost her son to the so-called silent
:16:23. > :16:26.killer. Despite high profile campaigns to make people aware of
:16:26. > :16:30.carbon dioxide, she says tragedies still happen. You will go to
:16:30. > :16:35.different towns and you will get the odd person say I've never heard
:16:35. > :16:40.of carbon dioxide and it saddens me sometimes because if I'd have known
:16:40. > :16:43.about it, Dominic might have been here today and it's just, you've
:16:43. > :16:47.got to keep reminding people. Basically you don't think that it
:16:47. > :16:52.can happen to you. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody.
:16:52. > :16:57.police investigations continue into Hazel's death, campers are advised
:16:57. > :17:02.to take extra care and carry carbon dioxide detectors with them on
:17:02. > :17:07.holiday. Let's have a look at other news
:17:07. > :17:11.now: The much anticipated return of the Flying Scotsman which was
:17:11. > :17:15.expected back at York's National Railway Museum in August has been
:17:15. > :17:18.delayed. It was due to undergo steam tests and economiesing runs
:17:18. > :17:22.later this month which will be carried out now in the autumn. The
:17:22. > :17:30.delay's been caused by cracks which have been found in the chassis and
:17:30. > :17:34.it won't return to the museum until later this year.
:17:34. > :17:37.Beached was cancelled after a Yorkshire prime can I school took
:17:37. > :17:43.300 pupils out of the project because of the use of the word
:17:43. > :17:48."queer". The writer who created Billy Elliott has agreed to change
:17:48. > :17:51.the script and it will be performed at the Bridlington Spa. The council
:17:51. > :17:55.suggested the local library would close and now a group from Leeds is
:17:55. > :17:59.looking at taking it over. The only problem is, they have little
:17:59. > :18:04.knowledge about how to begin. Look North gave them a chance to visit a
:18:04. > :18:07.pub near Richmond which was taken over by a community a year ago.
:18:08. > :18:11.Looking at the crumbling whams and decor, it's easy to think, no,
:18:11. > :18:15.there's no way the community could take over this library, but
:18:15. > :18:24.residents are made of sterner stuff. They want a library and by jof,
:18:24. > :18:27.they'll find a way to keep it. arranged public meetings at which
:18:27. > :18:32.it was made clear that the local community did want to keep the
:18:32. > :18:36.library open. So we are trying to help them to achieve just that.
:18:36. > :18:39.Armed with a promise from Leeds City Council that a building and
:18:39. > :18:43.the books could be transferred lock stock under a community asset
:18:43. > :18:51.scheme, the group are in search of ideas of how to make this project a
:18:51. > :18:56.success. A pub might seem like a strange
:18:56. > :19:00.place to viz it for inspiration, but this isn't a typical pub, in
:19:00. > :19:04.fact it's not just a pub at all, it's a community owned pub, shop
:19:04. > :19:07.and library all under one roof. County Council were keen about
:19:07. > :19:11.having this, when they heard about the pub re-opening and about it
:19:11. > :19:19.being a community pub, they suggested it, so we jumped at the
:19:19. > :19:24.idea. 201 people own a stake in the George & Dragon, which has just
:19:24. > :19:29.announced it made a profit this year. Was it easy to get the
:19:29. > :19:34.community involved in this? We were very anxious about that. When we
:19:34. > :19:40.first met as a small group of people, we wondered whether it was

:19:46. > :19:50.got the pub, we had 20-30 people turning up doing work and that
:19:50. > :19:54.continued up until it opened. successful has the venture been,
:19:54. > :19:58.they've made it into the last ten of Yorkshire's favourite pub awards
:19:58. > :20:08.and the diverse business plans inspire the group who'll put their
:20:08. > :20:14.ideas to a public meeting later this month.
:20:14. > :20:17.Sport now. Nice to see you. I've had a busy day. Have you been doing
:20:17. > :20:21.that barefoot running? Not quite. I shall explain all. Yorkshire is to
:20:21. > :20:27.have a team at this year's Clipper round the world yacht race, it's
:20:27. > :20:31.England's only entry in the 40,000 mile event which starts later this
:20:31. > :20:35.month. The 68 foot yacht will be called Welcome to Yorkshire and
:20:35. > :20:40.will aim to promote the region around the globe. Castleford Tigers
:20:40. > :20:44.pushed Wigan very close in last night's match, but not quite close
:20:44. > :20:50.enough. Injury problems meant it was a largely unfamiliar Tigers
:20:50. > :20:54.line up, but they produced a great first half and led at the break.
:20:54. > :21:00.The Warriors came back and the second half was Wigan's. The Tigers
:21:00. > :21:03.ended up on the wrong side of a 26- 16 final score but played extremely
:21:03. > :21:07.well. How many of you have gone into a
:21:07. > :21:10.sports shop to be surrounded by hi- tech running shoes that promise the
:21:10. > :21:15.earth? No more - a new craze is sweeping through the world of
:21:15. > :21:18.running, going barefoot or at least a lot closer to it. I checked it
:21:18. > :21:22.out. Feet - we put lots of different things on them and, when
:21:22. > :21:26.it comes to running, it's a multi- million pound business. In sheft
:21:26. > :21:30.though, they are trying to make us think differently, less is
:21:30. > :21:34.apparently more -- in Sheffield. The different is all the
:21:34. > :21:38.engineering we find has been stripped out -- difference. The
:21:38. > :21:41.other big difference is the heel height is graelgt greatly reduced.
:21:41. > :21:46.This has been driven by people that believe that natural is better and
:21:46. > :21:51.that we shouldn't have all this support and guidance within a shoe.
:21:51. > :21:56.We have even now got people going completely barefoot and that's the
:21:56. > :22:01.extreme of it. Jerry thinks nothing of running barefoot through
:22:01. > :22:06.Sheffield. I started it just over a year ago and from the moment I
:22:06. > :22:10.started just felt a real connection with the naturalness. Doesn't it
:22:10. > :22:16.hurt? Not at all, tames a bit of time to get your feet used to the
:22:16. > :22:19.feeling of standing on things other than soles of shoes. Wasn't
:22:19. > :22:24.entirely soled if you will excuse the pun! But it was time to get my
:22:24. > :22:28.running style analysed in my normal shoes. The shoe is probably too
:22:28. > :22:32.supportive and the way you are running is making heavy heel
:22:32. > :22:37.contact. The weight comes on to the outside and the weight is staying
:22:37. > :22:44.over there, so that will create the tension through the knee, up into
:22:44. > :22:48.the hip. So to the minimalist trainers, the difference was clear.
:22:48. > :22:52.The main difference that we are hearing is it's a quieter contact
:22:52. > :22:57.position. When we do the video recording, we'll find the push off
:22:57. > :23:03.position is more stable. Armed with my new shoes, it was time for
:23:03. > :23:08.action! Why aren't you barefoot? still worry about the odd bramble
:23:08. > :23:14.bush. I think for me it's just a step too far. You are staying with
:23:14. > :23:22.no shoes? Staying with no shoes all the way. Do people get evangelical
:23:22. > :23:29.about this? Yes. I think I'll stick to shoes!
:23:29. > :23:33.What if you trod on a slug or something worse? It was quite
:23:33. > :23:37.difficult because I didn't run very far, but if I do well in those, I
:23:37. > :23:41.graduate to these and they've got individual little toes. I tried
:23:41. > :23:46.putting them on in the car and it took me about five minutes to get
:23:46. > :23:51.the toes into the right places. Must my size. But they are really
:23:51. > :23:55.strange. How much would these set you back? I don't know, they're
:23:55. > :23:59.going back, but very interesting and very different feeling about
:23:59. > :24:03.the running. I walk round the office with nothing on my feet
:24:03. > :24:07.so.... A fashion accessory for the summer holidays! This is great
:24:07. > :24:11.Yorkshire show is proving a record beater almost a week before the
:24:11. > :24:16.three day vent opens. More than 5,000 animals have been entered for
:24:16. > :24:20.the event that starts on Tuesday. There's a waiting list. Two of the
:24:20. > :24:26.show's most unusual entries arrived by crane rather than truck. This
:24:26. > :24:31.giant hear is one of two works from the Yorkshire sculpture park --
:24:31. > :24:37.hare. They're being exhibited at the show for the very first time.
:24:37. > :24:40.They're two great sculptures from the sculpture park near Wakefield.
:24:40. > :24:44.I think it's the first time sculptures of this standing have
:24:44. > :24:47.ever been in an agricultural show, so we are thrilled to have them and
:24:48. > :24:53.our visitors will be thrilled to see them and he cause a lot of
:24:53. > :24:58.interest and people will be really enthuse castic about it. Look
:24:58. > :25:06.North's coverage of the show, now the country's largest agricultural
:25:06. > :25:10.show starts on Monday with Harry, show starts on Monday with Harry,
:25:10. > :25:14.Paul and Christa there. How is it looking for the show?
:25:14. > :25:18.Early indications suggest... What, go on? That it's not all that bad.
:25:18. > :25:23.We will still be in a sunshine and scattered showers set up, but
:25:23. > :25:30.probably more in the way of sunshine. Was sharing a Winnebago
:25:30. > :25:36.with Christa? No, we are in a tent! Are you staying over in a tent
:25:36. > :25:43.honestly? I might be! Can't wait for that. The first picture was
:25:43. > :25:47.sent from Ferrybridge and the second one, Sands End, a panoramic
:25:47. > :25:52.view even though it says it's York, I think she's from York, but the
:25:52. > :25:56.picture is definitely not. The headline for the next 24 hours,
:25:57. > :26:00.unsettled with showers and longer spells of rain to come, especially
:26:00. > :26:05.tomorrow morning with low pressure sat there. I think the weekend will
:26:05. > :26:09.be more straightforward with sunny spells and scattered showers but
:26:10. > :26:13.longer spells of rain seem unlikely. You can see clumps of cloud. We
:26:13. > :26:18.have had thunder storms. Other areas have been fine with sunshine.
:26:18. > :26:21.That's how it goes with these set ups. Still one or two heavy showers
:26:21. > :26:25.around. They're few and far between. Many parts will be fine this
:26:25. > :26:29.evening with some sunshine and any showers that are still rumbling
:26:29. > :26:39.around will fizzle out before cloud thickens. South Yorkshire could see
:26:39. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:50.some patchy rain toward the end of More northern and eastern areas
:26:50. > :27:00.will get off to a dry, bright start. Cloud thickening in south and West
:27:00. > :27:13.
:27:13. > :27:17.Yorkshire. Through the afternoon, It may well be Doncaster, Sheffield,
:27:17. > :27:22.Worksop that gets the highest temperatures.
:27:23. > :27:27.At the weekend, it's a traditional April mixture of sunny intervals
:27:27. > :27:33.and scattered showers, one or two will be heavy, but there will be
:27:33. > :27:38.one or two drier, decent spells. So who's sharing a tent with you on...
