:00:06. > :00:10.out of a river. Police try to unravel the death of a woman in
:00:10. > :00:20.Saltaire. Also tonight. All set up with
:00:20. > :00:22.
:00:22. > :00:25.nowhere to go. Plans for the school chosen as the flagship for David
:00:25. > :00:27.Cameron's education reforms looks likely to be rejected tonight at
:00:27. > :00:30.Dewsbury town hall. And when the catwalk came to the
:00:30. > :00:37.classroom. Can tips from the world of fashion help pupils stay ahead
:00:37. > :00:47.of the competition? It has been a wet day for most of
:00:47. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:05.Good evening. I am here for a pre- season friendly. We will be talking
:01:05. > :01:08.to Howard Webb, and to this young man. Join me later. Detectives are
:01:08. > :01:12.trying to piece together the last moments of a woman's life after her
:01:12. > :01:15.body was pulled out of the River Aire at Saltaire near Shipley today.
:01:15. > :01:25.Police are linking the death to burglaries at nearby businesses
:01:25. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:36.yesterday. John Cundy is there. This bridge behind me is normally
:01:36. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:43.very busy. This morning, it was sealed off. Nobody could get across
:01:43. > :01:48.as the police were carrying out a search of the bridge at Aire for a
:01:48. > :01:52.missing woman. The woman's body was found this
:01:52. > :01:56.morning and recovered a few hours later. Detectives are trying to
:01:56. > :02:02.link the finding of a body with a series of incidents in Saltaire
:02:02. > :02:09.yesterday. At 12:40PM, a gang tried to break into this forest in
:02:09. > :02:13.Bingley Road. An hour later, they tried to get through the roof of a
:02:13. > :02:18.vote house in on the banks of the River Aire. There seems to have
:02:18. > :02:23.followed some sort of Chase which resulted in the man under 23-year-
:02:23. > :02:28.old one month jumping into their refer Aire. The man swam to safety
:02:28. > :02:32.but the woman got into difficulties. This morning, bystanders watched in
:02:32. > :02:37.shock as the area was sealed off and police frogmen carried out the
:02:37. > :02:42.search for the missing woman. tried coming back through the pack
:02:42. > :02:50.and they said we could not come over the bridge. We were hanging
:02:50. > :02:55.around, hanging around, and they kept telling us to move on. We saw
:02:55. > :02:59.them dragging a body bag. This afternoon, police put out special
:02:59. > :03:04.appeals for help after what they described as the tragic loss of a
:03:04. > :03:09.young woman's life. The prose what my examination on that young woman
:03:09. > :03:16.has been going on all afternoon. I can tell you that two men, aged 25
:03:16. > :03:23.and 30, are in police custody. Whether they were chased into the
:03:23. > :03:27.river, we simply do not know. One has to deduce that this time that
:03:27. > :03:31.they were not chased by police. It does seem as if they were chased
:03:31. > :03:37.somehow, and that resulted in the best of a 23-year-old Bradford
:03:37. > :03:40.woman. -- that resulted in the best of the 23-year-old Bradford woman.
:03:40. > :03:43.The proposed school held up as a shining example of David Cameron's
:03:43. > :03:45.plans to reform education looks likely to fall at one of the first
:03:46. > :03:49.hurdles tonight. The so-called Birkenshaw free school in West
:03:49. > :03:51.Yorkshire was going to be set up by parents with direct funding from
:03:51. > :03:54.the Government and no intervention from the council. As previously
:03:54. > :03:57.reported by Look North, the local authority wants to put another
:03:57. > :04:02.school on the proposed site and is set to rubber stamp that decision
:04:02. > :04:12.tonight. It would leave parents who want the free school all set up
:04:12. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:18.with nowhere to go. Spencer Stokes joins us from Dewsbury Town Hall.
:04:18. > :04:23.The proposal to set up a free school in Birkenshaw has become a
:04:23. > :04:28.huge political issue. It is locally supported by the Conservatives, but
:04:28. > :04:31.opposed by Labour and Liberal Democrats. The Kirklees Council is
:04:31. > :04:37.meeting in Dewsbury Town Hall this evening. They could be about to
:04:37. > :04:41.throw down a road block that would slow down or end the free school
:04:41. > :04:45.hoped. What they are suggesting is that the Birkenshaw primary should
:04:45. > :04:49.move on to the site that the free school campaigners hoped would
:04:49. > :04:53.become their school. We will be hearing from one of those
:04:53. > :04:57.supporters in a few minutes. First, some background to a long-running
:04:57. > :05:02.story. During the 2010 general-election
:05:02. > :05:06.campaign, David Cameron threw his weight behind the call for a new
:05:06. > :05:10.Birkenshaw school. He told us how keen he was for this plan to
:05:10. > :05:16.succeed. Here you have a group of parents who want a good school for
:05:16. > :05:19.their children, a local school, they want to make it happen. I want
:05:19. > :05:24.to help them. This is about allowing people to have great
:05:24. > :05:29.schools in the state sector. That is what they pay their taxes for. A
:05:29. > :05:33.Conservative Government will help make it happen. The new coalition
:05:34. > :05:36.Government them made it possible for parents to set up the school.
:05:36. > :05:40.Free schools are a new type of school with greater freedoms. They
:05:40. > :05:45.are free from local authority control and get central Government
:05:45. > :05:49.funding. They are free from the National Curriculum, free to set
:05:49. > :05:52.paying -- free to set their own pay and conditions and free to
:05:52. > :05:58.determine the length of school holidays. They are established by
:05:58. > :06:01.parents are businesses who show an interest in running a school. The
:06:01. > :06:08.parents in Birkenshaw have spent nearly three years planning their
:06:08. > :06:14.school. They wanted to work permit here. -- they wanted to open it
:06:14. > :06:18.here. Kirklees Council opposes free schools and has effectively blocked
:06:18. > :06:23.the plans by suggesting that the building be re-used as a local
:06:23. > :06:28.primary school. One of those free school campaigners is with me now.
:06:28. > :06:31.Sharon is from the Birkenshaw Academy free school campaign. It
:06:31. > :06:39.looks likely that the primary school will move on to the site you
:06:39. > :06:44.wanted. Does that mean you campaign is dead? It does not. Michael Gove
:06:44. > :06:50.gave permission to open the Academy on that site or an alternative site.
:06:50. > :06:57.If we need to, we will move to the other side. Had you feel about
:06:57. > :07:03.Kirklees Council's move? We are disappointed for using our children
:07:04. > :07:08.as political pawns. Our community is angry about the move when they
:07:08. > :07:13.have a perfectly good site at the moment. You had lots of people hear
:07:13. > :07:17.about an hour ago. They have been demonstrating against the council.
:07:17. > :07:21.Does their demonstration prove that free school campaigners, parents,
:07:21. > :07:27.cannot get along with councils, and free schools cannot work with
:07:27. > :07:32.councils, their father free school idea does not work well? Not at all.
:07:32. > :07:37.It is there to bring outstanding education to the local communities.
:07:37. > :07:44.Councils should embrace that. We have tried to work with Kirklees
:07:44. > :07:50.Council and will continue to do so. We will work with the council to
:07:50. > :07:54.provide this. Where do you go from here? We will fight the plans to
:07:54. > :08:01.move the first school. Birkenshaw middle school is in the heart of
:08:01. > :08:07.our community. If the council voted against us, we will go to the
:08:07. > :08:11.alternative site and open in 2013. Thank you for joining us. Kirklees
:08:11. > :08:16.Council say that all our proposals are based on the needs of children,
:08:16. > :08:21.and children are the first priority. We are expected to have a result
:08:21. > :08:26.from the meeting within the next hour or so. We will of course a day
:08:26. > :08:29.to an hour later bulletin tonight. We approached the Government for an
:08:29. > :08:31.interview but it was unable to provide anybody to talk to us.
:08:31. > :08:39.However, a spokesman said they hoped that an amicable solution
:08:39. > :08:45.could be reached. And we'll bring you the result of that vote on our
:08:45. > :08:48.1025 bulletin tonight. Later on Look North:
:08:48. > :08:57.Drinks all round. The villagers who raised �300,000 in just three weeks
:08:57. > :09:00.to buy their local pub. A foreign office minister today
:09:00. > :09:04.agreed to meet with the mother of a toddler who went missing 20 years
:09:04. > :09:14.ago. Ben Needham vanished while on holiday with his family on the
:09:14. > :09:15.
:09:15. > :09:22.Greek Island of Kos. We have covered that story so many times
:09:22. > :09:24.over the years. Let's remind you. Kerry Needham had written to the
:09:24. > :09:31.Prime Minister pressing the government for extra resources to
:09:32. > :09:36.investigate the case. Tom Ingall reports. 20 years of heartbreak,
:09:36. > :09:41.false hope and living in the Spotlight. Kerry Needham's world
:09:41. > :09:46.was changed for ever in late July, 1991. Today, she is still
:09:46. > :09:51.determined she will find her son. As the anniversary approaches, is
:09:51. > :09:56.it significant or just another day? Just another day, basically. It is
:09:56. > :10:02.no more painful than any other day we have been living for the past 20
:10:02. > :10:06.years. We are trying to mark the anniversary with another appeal.
:10:06. > :10:13.The photograph of the Ben a few days before he disappeared, asking
:10:13. > :10:20.the public to check their photographs. Were they on holiday?
:10:20. > :10:24.Where they on Kos in 1991 that summer? Benn may be in the
:10:24. > :10:29.background of some of their photographs. A picture of how Benn
:10:29. > :10:36.may look at the age of 21 has also been released. Kerry has also
:10:36. > :10:41.written to the Prime Minister, looking for more resources. Today,
:10:41. > :10:48.her MP asked questions in the House. Will Foreign Secretary agreed to
:10:48. > :10:53.meet Kerry Needham and myself to discuss the case? I would not want
:10:53. > :10:57.to comment in detail on the case, but I would happily make time to
:10:57. > :11:02.see her and her constituents to discuss this further. It is another
:11:02. > :11:05.steps -- it is another small step forward, that has already lasted
:11:06. > :11:11.half a lifetime. She understands that after so long, there is no
:11:11. > :11:15.guarantee that if Benn is found, he would return to live with her.
:11:15. > :11:19.would like him to return through the door and live happily ever
:11:19. > :11:25.after. If not possible, that will be a burden to bear but at least I
:11:25. > :11:27.will have seen him, and we will know the truth. Kerry Needham
:11:27. > :11:31.talking there. A serious case review into the
:11:31. > :11:34.death of a two-year-old girl from Dewsbury is to take place. A court
:11:34. > :11:36.heard how Jasmine Bellfield died after she was smothered to death by
:11:36. > :11:39.her mother in February last year. Healthcare professionals had

:12:59. > :13:04.libraries. Joe Inwood reports. Mark Toulouse Council funding, its

:13:14. > :13:17.force funding and the local community steps in all they close.
:13:17. > :13:22.The satellite service will be run by voluntary or community groups.
:13:22. > :13:29.However, these would be supported by the council. They can apply for
:13:29. > :13:35.funding. A part of that will be getting people through the doors,
:13:35. > :13:39.something the council has failed to do. Visitor numbers fell by 43 % in
:13:39. > :13:46.under two decades. Half of Wakefield libraries I used by less
:13:46. > :13:53.than 8% of locals, the lowest by just 1%. Not stat recognised by the

:14:07. > :14:12.knows where it is. It needs to stay. All Tokely, it all comes down to
:14:12. > :14:17.money and how best to save it -- ultimately, it comes down to money
:14:17. > :14:25.and how best to save it. If you cut library services, it will have an

:15:23. > :15:27.villages have stumped up �300,000 in an attempt to save their local
:15:27. > :15:32.pub. It is one of the most spectacular
:15:32. > :15:36.examples of pubs being taken over by their community. One that was
:15:36. > :15:42.taken over last year has come second in the Yorkshire pub of the

:16:00. > :16:05.that. It will be the country's 6th community owned pub. The response
:16:05. > :16:12.has been staggering. We have been overwhelmed in terms of money,
:16:12. > :16:19.enthusiasm and we had a meeting to bring people up to date. Over 100
:16:19. > :16:24.people turned up. It needs another �50,000 to be ready for a Christmas
:16:24. > :16:31.opening. Is it really a good idea? Last year 1,300 pubs closed across
:16:31. > :16:37.the country. They are currently losing 25 every week. Cheap alcohol
