:00:02. > :00:09.Good evening and welcome to Look North. Our main news tonight: Lord
:00:09. > :00:17.Harewood, the Queen's cousin, has died at the age of 88. His name,
:00:17. > :00:21.and his home, at Harewood House became synonymous with Yorkshire.
:00:21. > :00:25.We'll look back at the life of a member of the royal family who
:00:25. > :00:29.loved the arts but was also no stranger to the scandal of the day.
:00:29. > :00:32.Also this evening - tragedy on the tracks. A man is dead and a three
:00:32. > :00:36.year-old girl critically injured after being hit by a train near
:00:36. > :00:42.Doncaster. And maize magic - we get a bird's eye view of the boy wizard
:00:42. > :00:47.as Potter-mania comes to York. And it is the of the 153rd Great
:00:47. > :00:50.Yorkshire Show. It is the biggest in England. But will there were
:00:50. > :01:00.thus defying? I will be live from the show ground later in the
:01:00. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:09.programme. -- will the weather stay Tonight, he loved Opera and Leeds
:01:09. > :01:13.United - but most of all Harewood House. Lord Harewood admitted he
:01:13. > :01:16.didn't have enough money to run his estate, so he opened it up and
:01:16. > :01:20.created one of the successful tourist attractions in the country.
:01:20. > :01:23.He was divorced and remarried in 1967, which at the time was frowned
:01:23. > :01:28.upon by the Church of England. Tonight he's remembered though for
:01:28. > :01:32.his rich legacy to Yorkshire. As Ian White reports. Lord Harewood,
:01:32. > :01:38.born in 1923. He was well known throughout Yorkshire, simply for
:01:38. > :01:41.being a cousin of the Queen. But the rows more to the man who led an
:01:41. > :01:45.amazing and controversial life. These were the last pictures of an
:01:45. > :01:50.filmed in November. Despite his failing health, his sense of humour
:01:50. > :01:54.showed, as he talked about the statue of Adam that leaves nothing
:01:54. > :02:04.to the imagination. He remembers some admirers being shocked by what
:02:04. > :02:07.
:02:07. > :02:15.the Max of. Adam was a very man, the original progenitor of the race,
:02:15. > :02:19.and he had sexual parts. And if that cause them pain, they must of
:02:19. > :02:24.lead a very sheltered life. He was born six than line to the throne.
:02:24. > :02:29.He was the grandson of King George that if the Queen Mary. This was
:02:29. > :02:33.his christening. As a boy unit in royal circles. He moved on to the
:02:34. > :02:40.Grenadier Guards and fork in Italy during the war, and was captured by
:02:40. > :02:45.the Germans and spent one year as a prisoner. He was able to
:02:45. > :02:53.concentrate on his love of opera in peacetime. I started working in
:02:53. > :02:59.1953, around the time of the Coronation. I Caine in three times
:02:59. > :03:05.a week than -- I was getting paid three times more than Joan
:03:05. > :03:12.Sutherland, and she was not getting very much! And Lord Taylor derived
:03:12. > :03:21.with his best man. Has managed to the constant PDS -- the concert
:03:21. > :03:24.pianist Marion Steen made news in 1959. He was later stumped by the
:03:24. > :03:29.Royals for a decade. He was not invited to the funeral of the Duke
:03:29. > :03:35.of Windsor. He was a keen football supporter, and passionate about
:03:35. > :03:39.Leeds United. He was the club president for almost 50 years. This
:03:39. > :03:45.was 1969, presenting the Charity Shield Trophy to Billy Bremner, at
:03:45. > :03:50.Elland Road. In latter years he was forced to Tom the family warm-up on
:03:50. > :03:55.an estate near Leeds into one of Yorkshire's most popular tourist
:03:55. > :04:02.attractions. Seales in public life recently, he will be fondly
:04:02. > :04:07.remembered, and succeeded by his son, David. That is an incredible
:04:07. > :04:12.legacy. I know that you spoke to him on his 80th birthday. What do
:04:12. > :04:17.you remember from that occasion? was a great character, always had a
:04:17. > :04:21.mischievous twinkle in his eye. He spoke about his Joe to. He talked
:04:21. > :04:28.about his cousin the Queen. And many of the people he had been
:04:28. > :04:33.fortunate enough to meet over the years. I was obliged to look back
:04:33. > :04:42.and produced this booklet about my life and looking over the
:04:42. > :04:51.photographs, you inevitably remember those days. I am quite
:04:51. > :04:57.amused to look back to deny was a little boy. When I was a little boy.
:04:57. > :05:03.There is one picture of me, unmistakably, with a lot of
:05:03. > :05:09.chickens. I do not remember that, at all. You have let a privileged
:05:09. > :05:18.life, not just because of all this but because of all them -- all the
:05:18. > :05:24.people you have made, politicians and sports personalities.
:05:24. > :05:30.remember back most of the people I have met, I have liked. A great
:05:30. > :05:37.character. We can going out to the gates of Harewood House. I am sure
:05:37. > :05:42.that the village is saddened. What has been the the action there?
:05:42. > :05:46.evening, the family of log here would are gathered at the estate,
:05:46. > :05:52.spending time at the House, in private, following the death of lot
:05:52. > :05:58.here would, clearly a difficult time, and for many people,
:05:58. > :06:03.particularly for the staff, who are extremely upset and shocked at the
:06:03. > :06:08.News of the death of Lord Harewood. He was a big figure in the village.
:06:08. > :06:14.Underside before the people of Leeds. The tributes to the show you
:06:14. > :06:18.how big an impact he had. He was due to celebrate his 50th year as
:06:18. > :06:23.president of Leeds United. The chairman, Ken Bates, has paid
:06:23. > :06:28.tribute to him. He said that although he was royalty he always
:06:28. > :06:32.treated me is an equal. I feel that I have lost a true friend, and
:06:32. > :06:37.Legion eight it has lost a true friend. He's a huge amount of money
:06:37. > :06:42.for hospitals in Leeds. One hospital chief executive has paid
:06:42. > :06:47.tribute to him. We have been very sad to hear about his death, and
:06:47. > :06:52.our sympathy is with his wife and family. He has been a great
:06:52. > :06:58.supporter over the years and he helped us with charity appeals,
:06:58. > :07:03.raising �1.5 million which helped us to refurbish the hospice. I have
:07:03. > :07:08.been told that a private funeral is to be held at a later date. Details
:07:08. > :07:12.should be announced tomorrow. A thanksgiving service and
:07:12. > :07:17.celebration of lot here with's life will be held at a later date. A
:07:17. > :07:27.book of condolence will be opened at Harewood House, and at All
:07:27. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:34.Saints Church, here on the state. Also in tonight's programme: A
:07:34. > :07:38.man's been killed and a three year- old girl is in a critical condition
:07:38. > :07:40.this evening after being struck by a train in South Yorkshire. The
:07:40. > :07:43.accident happened between Adwick and Bentley. Train services were
:07:43. > :07:46.halted while the young girl was airlifted to Sheffield Children's
:07:46. > :07:50.Hospital and an investigation is being carried out. Our reporter Tom
:07:50. > :07:54.Ingall is at the scene. What do we know? I am here at the scene, on
:07:54. > :07:59.the East Coast main line between Doncaster and Leeds. This section
:07:59. > :08:03.was closed this afternoon because of a terrible accent that left a
:08:03. > :08:09.man dead and at the inaugural in critical condition in hospital, and
:08:09. > :08:13.halted train services. A passenger train stands stationary in the sun.
:08:13. > :08:17.This service running between London and Leeds struck the 28-year-old
:08:17. > :08:21.man and three-year-old girl, on a stretch of the East Coast Main Line
:08:21. > :08:26.north of Bentley station. What speed would the train have been
:08:26. > :08:32.going at? It would be a line speed, which is anything up to 100 miles
:08:32. > :08:36.an hour. Quite a speed, as you can imagine. This section of the East
:08:36. > :08:41.Coast Main Line has many access points were cars and pedestrians
:08:41. > :08:46.can get across. British Transport police say that the police were the
:08:46. > :08:50.man and a little girl were it was not a crossing. The man was
:08:50. > :08:55.pronounced dead at the scene. The young girl was airlifted to a
:08:55. > :09:00.children's hospital in Sheffield. The train was finally amount --
:09:00. > :09:05.allowed to move some hours later. Passengers were kept up to date by
:09:05. > :09:09.staff, but had to remain on board throughout, eventually reaching
:09:09. > :09:13.Leeds and Wakefield late in the afternoon. South Yorkshire police
:09:13. > :09:17.have joined the British Transport colleagues to search the stretch of
:09:17. > :09:24.line. The man is, local area, but his relationship with the three-
:09:24. > :09:27.year-old girl is not clear. The key question remains, what brought them
:09:27. > :09:33.to one of the faster stretches of railway line in the county, with
:09:33. > :09:37.such terrible consequences? Scene- of-crime officers have cleared the
:09:37. > :09:43.tax and the railway has reopened, so services are getting back to
:09:43. > :09:47.normal, but there will still be some disruption. The news is that
:09:47. > :09:56.the three-year-old girl is in a critical but stable condition in
:09:56. > :09:59.hospital in Sheffield. A new hard- hitting report out today says
:09:59. > :10:02.children with special needs have been failed by local authorities in
:10:02. > :10:05.Leeds. The Local Government Ombudsman has found three cases of
:10:05. > :10:07.serious shortcomings in Leeds Council's education and care
:10:07. > :10:11.services, and has ordered compensation to be paid to three
:10:11. > :10:14.families. Danni Hewson reports. The ombudsman highlighted three
:10:14. > :10:18.incidence is where children with learning difficulties were
:10:18. > :10:21.neglected. Assiduously disabled girl was left unable to communicate
:10:21. > :10:27.because the people caring for how did not know sign language. On
:10:27. > :10:32.another occasion there was might not enough staff to help to use the
:10:32. > :10:36.toilet, so she ended up with blisters and urine infections. The
:10:37. > :10:44.report pulls no punches. It talks of serious and extensive failures,
:10:44. > :10:50.substantial injustice or vulnerable children, and it describes this as
:10:50. > :10:53.inexplicable and inexcusable. feelings have been very serious for
:10:53. > :10:58.the children involved and indicated quite serious problems within the
:10:58. > :11:03.council. The authority accepts that it failed in this case but says
:11:03. > :11:05.changes have already been made. This February, I was allowed access
:11:06. > :11:11.to the children's services department to make a new team who
:11:11. > :11:15.had been rated "excellent" during a spot inspection by Ofsted. The
:11:15. > :11:19.council is keen not to play down the seriousness of the past
:11:19. > :11:23.incidents and has the compensation to the parents who cleaned -- who
:11:23. > :11:33.complained. A statement today said that no amount of compensation or
:11:33. > :11:38.apology could sufficiently make up for what had happened. Another
:11:38. > :11:46.family member said that the council should have listened to the parents
:11:46. > :11:49.and what happened could have been avoided. Earlier the Director of
:11:49. > :11:53.Childrens Services for Leeds, Nigel Richardson, reacted to these
:11:53. > :11:58.serious criticisms. It is very serious. We treated very seriously.
:11:58. > :12:04.We fully accept the findings of the ombudsman. We would like to
:12:04. > :12:09.formally apologised to the young people involved in what was clearly
:12:09. > :12:14.and an appropriate level of service. Why did it happen? That is a very
:12:14. > :12:17.good question. It should not have happened. Absolutely, it should not
:12:17. > :12:22.have happened, and I can say that with confidence because when you
:12:22. > :12:25.are dealing with the most vulnerable children, you get a
:12:25. > :12:30.statement of special educational needs, clearly labelling what it is
:12:30. > :12:35.that you have to do with that young person to best meet their needs,
:12:35. > :12:41.and, for whatever reason, we fell to do that. It was not on your
:12:42. > :12:47.watch, you and a new broom. Yes, we have to make sure that these things
:12:47. > :12:52.go right. How can you make sure that it never happens again? There
:12:52. > :12:58.is a range of things that we can do. It is pleasing that the ombudsman
:12:58. > :13:04.is satisfied with our work so far, and she is not asking us to do any
:13:04. > :13:08.further reduce because she approves of the work we're doing it.
:13:08. > :13:12.Everybody is talking about cuts, but what we have is priority in
:13:12. > :13:17.Leeds for children's services, particularly services for the most
:13:17. > :13:22.vulnerable. We have managed to negotiate what we refer to as a
:13:22. > :13:28.larger slice of a smaller cake. And there are things that need to be
:13:28. > :13:32.put right. People are working hard to make that happen. What happens,
:13:32. > :13:37.what tends to happen, without anyone deliberately going out of
:13:37. > :13:41.their way, people forget that they are there to meet the needs a child
:13:41. > :13:45.and they think more about the process and the systems than what
:13:45. > :13:54.is right for that child, and we are building a new service around
:13:54. > :13:59.people thinking differently, They 44-year-old man has been
:13:59. > :14:03.charged with murder after a mother was found with serious stab wounds
:14:03. > :14:07.in Sheffield. Dawn Backhouse was discovered at her house and died on
:14:08. > :14:14.the way to hospital. Mark Hatter Appeared before City magistrates
:14:14. > :14:17.today and was remanded in custody. For three people were charged
:14:17. > :14:23.following demonstrations by the English Defence League and Unite
:14:23. > :14:26.Against Facism in Halifax on Saturday. A 21-year-old man and 17-
:14:26. > :14:31.year-old were detained. Another person from Pontefract appeared
:14:31. > :14:36.before magistrates this morning. Care home operator Southern Cross
:14:37. > :14:42.is closing down. The company runs 62 homes in Yorkshire. The firm has
:14:42. > :14:46.been abandoned because of financial problems. It is hoped they will be
:14:46. > :14:50.transferred to new operators. A leading accountancy firm says
:14:50. > :14:54.that more than 100 big-name shops have closed in South Yorkshire
:14:54. > :14:59.since last year. PriceWaterhouseCooper predicts that
:14:59. > :15:04.retailers will struggle over the next six months. There is good news
:15:04. > :15:12.for Doncaster, it has opened 48 stores since last year.
:15:12. > :15:15.Still to come. The weather forecast. And the Great Yorkshire Show.
:15:15. > :15:18.And to we meet schoolchildren with the task of cooking for our
:15:18. > :15:27.Olympians. And a bird's eye view of the boy it
:15:27. > :15:35.wizard. Pottermania comes to a maze near York.
:15:35. > :15:40.Sport, and you have been at one of the greatest cricket grounds.
:15:40. > :15:47.I was surprised to be allowed up to Scarborough. It is not often I go
:15:47. > :15:51.because somebody pushes me out of the way! It was a special day for
:15:51. > :15:59.Jonny Bairstow. It has been a difficult season for Yorkshire. 21
:15:59. > :16:03.near Old Jonny Bairstow has been a highlight, though. -- 21-year-old.
:16:04. > :16:07.Today, in a match against Worcester, he was presented with his first
:16:07. > :16:14.team cap. There are special moments in a
:16:14. > :16:20.cricketer's career and this was one of them for Jonny Bairstow. He is
:16:20. > :16:26.well and truly off Yorkshire's stock. His late father also
:16:26. > :16:30.represented the county. I have come through the academy and
:16:30. > :16:39.the seconds. Being part of the first team is brilliant. To receive
:16:39. > :16:47.my team cap is a great moment for me and my family. It is great.
:16:47. > :16:53.Sometimes you have to keep secret. I am very pleased for him.
:16:53. > :16:57.grandparents are here. My mother and my dad are here as well. He did
:16:57. > :17:01.not have long to compose himself before concentrating on the game in
:17:01. > :17:06.hand. Yorkshire are second from bottom and Worcestershire a place
:17:06. > :17:12.above. All seven games are important and we need to pick up
:17:12. > :17:18.points quickly. You are emphasising every session. Do well in every
:17:18. > :17:21.session. This is what we have not a done every year. We have had good
:17:21. > :17:30.sessions, and if we get into a strong position we have to make use
:17:30. > :17:37.of it. Yorkshire needed early wickets. Ryan Sidebottom obliged.
:17:37. > :17:40.Not to be out done, Tim pressman also chipped in. There was a catch
:17:40. > :17:47.for Jonny Bairstow to take-off Richard Pyrah's bowling -- Tim
:17:48. > :17:53.Bresnan. Wickets continued to tumble on a bowler friendly pitch.
:17:53. > :17:57.It is a changed is the Yorkshire on top. We do not often see that. It
:17:57. > :18:02.is Scarborough and we expect something different at Scarborough.
:18:02. > :18:07.Yorkshire put themselves in with a chance. Can they go on and finish
:18:07. > :18:17.chance. Can they go on and finish the job? The bowlers carried on the
:18:17. > :18:18.
:18:18. > :18:28.good work. Tim Bresnan Took four wickets. Andrew Gale Was unbeaten
:18:28. > :18:32.

:19:35. > :19:42.all the way round. He is not the greatest swimmer, by his own
:19:42. > :19:48.admission. Apparently, next year we are doing 1500 metres. Having
:19:48. > :19:56.looked at that, it is big. It goes right the way around the lake. 500
:19:56. > :20:04.people took part. It was fantastic. It was a little bit cold. It is
:20:04. > :20:09.tricky to deal with the weeds. I could cope with 500 metres. 1500
:20:09. > :20:16.metres has me worried. It was fantastic. Many inspirational
:20:16. > :20:23.stories. A great addition to their events. And that is three times I

:24:24. > :24:28.has been a family argument. I wanted to do the biggest spot the
:24:28. > :24:34.difference competition. My five- year old son wanted to do something
:24:34. > :24:37.with Harry Potter. We settled on a compromise. This is a tribute to
:24:37. > :24:42.Harry Potter in the form of the biggest spot the difference
:24:42. > :24:46.competition. We have applied to the Guinness Book of World Records. We

:24:52. > :24:58.well. This really is an interesting way to get lost in the magic of

:25:30. > :25:37.because I can offer sunshine. But, there is a 20% chance of catching a

:25:42. > :25:47.is the biggest show anywhere in England. It is important to listen
:25:47. > :25:53.to travel advice. Organisers say that motorists should check the

:26:26. > :26:32.time since I have said that. It looks as though there will be a
:26:32. > :26:40.small chance of a shower. It will be partly cloudy at times, but very

:27:00. > :27:04.lightning on Friday. It will be a lovely start to the first day of
:27:04. > :27:09.the show in Harrogate. Plenty of sunshine around. The cloud will
:27:09. > :27:17.come and go during the day. They may produce the odd shower, but
:27:17. > :27:22.most parts of Yorkshire will be having sunny spells. Temperatures
:27:22. > :27:27.on the coast around 16, but possibly up to 20 in land. That is
:27:27. > :27:34.normal for the time of the year. The same on Wednesday and Thursday,
:27:34. > :27:37.with the small chance of a shower. Enjoy it while it lasts. Friday and
