On Look North tonight. Two burglaries then a body is pulled

:00:02.:00:06.

out of a river. Police try to unravel the death of a woman in

:00:06.:00:10.

Saltaire. Also tonight. All set up with

:00:10.:00:20.
:00:20.:00:22.

nowhere to go. Plans for the school chosen as the flagship for David

:00:22.:00:25.

Cameron's education reforms looks likely to be rejected tonight at

:00:25.:00:27.

Dewsbury town hall. And when the catwalk came to the

:00:27.:00:30.

classroom. Can tips from the world of fashion help pupils stay ahead

:00:30.:00:37.

of the competition? It has been a wet day for most of

:00:37.:00:47.
:00:47.:00:59.

Good evening. I am here for a pre- season friendly. We will be talking

:00:59.:01:05.

to Howard Webb, and to this young man. Join me later. Detectives are

:01:05.:01:08.

trying to piece together the last moments of a woman's life after her

:01:08.:01:12.

body was pulled out of the River Aire at Saltaire near Shipley today.

:01:12.:01:15.

Police are linking the death to burglaries at nearby businesses

:01:15.:01:25.
:01:25.:01:26.

yesterday. John Cundy is there. This bridge behind me is normally

:01:26.:01:36.
:01:36.:01:38.

very busy. This morning, it was sealed off. Nobody could get across

:01:38.:01:43.

as the police were carrying out a search of the bridge at Aire for a

:01:43.:01:48.

missing woman. The woman's body was found this

:01:48.:01:52.

morning and recovered a few hours later. Detectives are trying to

:01:52.:01:56.

link the finding of a body with a series of incidents in Saltaire

:01:56.:02:02.

yesterday. At 12:40PM, a gang tried to break into this forest in

:02:02.:02:09.

Bingley Road. An hour later, they tried to get through the roof of a

:02:09.:02:13.

vote house in on the banks of the River Aire. There seems to have

:02:13.:02:18.

followed some sort of Chase which resulted in the man under 23-year-

:02:18.:02:23.

old one month jumping into their refer Aire. The man swam to safety

:02:23.:02:28.

but the woman got into difficulties. This morning, bystanders watched in

:02:28.:02:32.

shock as the area was sealed off and police frogmen carried out the

:02:32.:02:37.

search for the missing woman. tried coming back through the pack

:02:37.:02:42.

and they said we could not come over the bridge. We were hanging

:02:42.:02:50.

around, hanging around, and they kept telling us to move on. We saw

:02:50.:02:55.

them dragging a body bag. This afternoon, police put out special

:02:55.:02:59.

appeals for help after what they described as the tragic loss of a

:02:59.:03:04.

young woman's life. The prose what my examination on that young woman

:03:04.:03:09.

has been going on all afternoon. I can tell you that two men, aged 25

:03:09.:03:16.

and 30, are in police custody. Whether they were chased into the

:03:16.:03:23.

river, we simply do not know. One has to deduce that this time that

:03:23.:03:27.

they were not chased by police. It does seem as if they were chased

:03:27.:03:31.

somehow, and that resulted in the best of a 23-year-old Bradford

:03:31.:03:37.

woman. -- that resulted in the best of the 23-year-old Bradford woman.

:03:37.:03:40.

The proposed school held up as a shining example of David Cameron's

:03:40.:03:43.

plans to reform education looks likely to fall at one of the first

:03:43.:03:45.

hurdles tonight. The so-called Birkenshaw free school in West

:03:46.:03:49.

Yorkshire was going to be set up by parents with direct funding from

:03:49.:03:51.

the Government and no intervention from the council. As previously

:03:51.:03:54.

reported by Look North, the local authority wants to put another

:03:54.:03:57.

school on the proposed site and is set to rubber stamp that decision

:03:57.:04:02.

tonight. It would leave parents who want the free school all set up

:04:02.:04:12.
:04:12.:04:13.

with nowhere to go. Spencer Stokes joins us from Dewsbury Town Hall.

:04:13.:04:18.

The proposal to set up a free school in Birkenshaw has become a

:04:18.:04:23.

huge political issue. It is locally supported by the Conservatives, but

:04:23.:04:28.

opposed by Labour and Liberal Democrats. The Kirklees Council is

:04:28.:04:31.

meeting in Dewsbury Town Hall this evening. They could be about to

:04:31.:04:37.

throw down a road block that would slow down or end the free school

:04:37.:04:41.

hoped. What they are suggesting is that the Birkenshaw primary should

:04:41.:04:45.

move on to the site that the free school campaigners hoped would

:04:45.:04:49.

become their school. We will be hearing from one of those

:04:49.:04:53.

supporters in a few minutes. First, some background to a long-running

:04:53.:04:57.

story. During the 2010 general-election

:04:57.:05:02.

campaign, David Cameron threw his weight behind the call for a new

:05:02.:05:06.

Birkenshaw school. He told us how keen he was for this plan to

:05:06.:05:10.

succeed. Here you have a group of parents who want a good school for

:05:10.:05:16.

their children, a local school, they want to make it happen. I want

:05:16.:05:19.

to help them. This is about allowing people to have great

:05:19.:05:24.

schools in the state sector. That is what they pay their taxes for. A

:05:24.:05:29.

Conservative Government will help make it happen. The new coalition

:05:29.:05:33.

Government them made it possible for parents to set up the school.

:05:34.:05:36.

Free schools are a new type of school with greater freedoms. They

:05:36.:05:40.

are free from local authority control and get central Government

:05:40.:05:45.

funding. They are free from the National Curriculum, free to set

:05:45.:05:49.

paying -- free to set their own pay and conditions and free to

:05:49.:05:52.

determine the length of school holidays. They are established by

:05:52.:05:58.

parents are businesses who show an interest in running a school. The

:05:58.:06:01.

parents in Birkenshaw have spent nearly three years planning their

:06:01.:06:08.

school. They wanted to work permit here. -- they wanted to open it

:06:08.:06:14.

here. Kirklees Council opposes free schools and has effectively blocked

:06:14.:06:18.

the plans by suggesting that the building be re-used as a local

:06:18.:06:23.

primary school. One of those free school campaigners is with me now.

:06:23.:06:28.

Sharon is from the Birkenshaw Academy free school campaign. It

:06:28.:06:31.

looks likely that the primary school will move on to the site you

:06:31.:06:39.

wanted. Does that mean you campaign is dead? It does not. Michael Gove

:06:39.:06:44.

gave permission to open the Academy on that site or an alternative site.

:06:44.:06:50.

If we need to, we will move to the other side. Had you feel about

:06:50.:06:57.

Kirklees Council's move? We are disappointed for using our children

:06:57.:07:03.

as political pawns. Our community is angry about the move when they

:07:04.:07:08.

have a perfectly good site at the moment. You had lots of people hear

:07:08.:07:13.

about an hour ago. They have been demonstrating against the council.

:07:13.:07:17.

Does their demonstration prove that free school campaigners, parents,

:07:17.:07:21.

cannot get along with councils, and free schools cannot work with

:07:21.:07:27.

councils, their father free school idea does not work well? Not at all.

:07:27.:07:32.

It is there to bring outstanding education to the local communities.

:07:32.:07:37.

Councils should embrace that. We have tried to work with Kirklees

:07:37.:07:44.

Council and will continue to do so. We will work with the council to

:07:44.:07:50.

provide this. Where do you go from here? We will fight the plans to

:07:50.:07:54.

move the first school. Birkenshaw middle school is in the heart of

:07:54.:08:01.

our community. If the council voted against us, we will go to the

:08:01.:08:07.

alternative site and open in 2013. Thank you for joining us. Kirklees

:08:07.:08:11.

Council say that all our proposals are based on the needs of children,

:08:11.:08:16.

and children are the first priority. We are expected to have a result

:08:16.:08:21.

from the meeting within the next hour or so. We will of course a day

:08:21.:08:26.

to an hour later bulletin tonight. We approached the Government for an

:08:26.:08:29.

interview but it was unable to provide anybody to talk to us.

:08:29.:08:31.

However, a spokesman said they hoped that an amicable solution

:08:31.:08:39.

could be reached. And we'll bring you the result of that vote on our

:08:39.:08:45.

1025 bulletin tonight. Later on Look North:

:08:45.:08:48.

Drinks all round. The villagers who raised �300,000 in just three weeks

:08:48.:08:57.

to buy their local pub. A foreign office minister today

:08:57.:09:00.

agreed to meet with the mother of a toddler who went missing 20 years

:09:00.:09:04.

ago. Ben Needham vanished while on holiday with his family on the

:09:04.:09:14.
:09:14.:09:15.

Greek Island of Kos. We have covered that story so many times

:09:15.:09:22.

over the years. Let's remind you. Kerry Needham had written to the

:09:22.:09:24.

Prime Minister pressing the government for extra resources to

:09:24.:09:31.

investigate the case. Tom Ingall reports. 20 years of heartbreak,

:09:32.:09:36.

false hope and living in the Spotlight. Kerry Needham's world

:09:36.:09:41.

was changed for ever in late July, 1991. Today, she is still

:09:41.:09:46.

determined she will find her son. As the anniversary approaches, is

:09:46.:09:51.

it significant or just another day? Just another day, basically. It is

:09:51.:09:56.

no more painful than any other day we have been living for the past 20

:09:56.:10:02.

years. We are trying to mark the anniversary with another appeal.

:10:02.:10:06.

The photograph of the Ben a few days before he disappeared, asking

:10:06.:10:13.

the public to check their photographs. Were they on holiday?

:10:13.:10:20.

Where they on Kos in 1991 that summer? Benn may be in the

:10:20.:10:24.

background of some of their photographs. A picture of how Benn

:10:24.:10:29.

may look at the age of 21 has also been released. Kerry has also

:10:29.:10:36.

written to the Prime Minister, looking for more resources. Today,

:10:36.:10:41.

her MP asked questions in the House. Will Foreign Secretary agreed to

:10:41.:10:48.

meet Kerry Needham and myself to discuss the case? I would not want

:10:48.:10:53.

to comment in detail on the case, but I would happily make time to

:10:53.:10:57.

see her and her constituents to discuss this further. It is another

:10:57.:11:02.

steps -- it is another small step forward, that has already lasted

:11:02.:11:05.

half a lifetime. She understands that after so long, there is no

:11:06.:11:11.

guarantee that if Benn is found, he would return to live with her.

:11:11.:11:15.

would like him to return through the door and live happily ever

:11:15.:11:19.

after. If not possible, that will be a burden to bear but at least I

:11:19.:11:25.

will have seen him, and we will know the truth. Kerry Needham

:11:25.:11:27.

talking there. A serious case review into the

:11:27.:11:31.

death of a two-year-old girl from Dewsbury is to take place. A court

:11:31.:11:34.

heard how Jasmine Bellfield died after she was smothered to death by

:11:34.:11:36.

her mother in February last year. Healthcare professionals had

:11:36.:11:39.

visited Sonia Bellfield and her daughter in the days leading up to

:11:39.:11:42.

her death. Robbers stole thousands of pounds

:11:42.:11:47.

from a bank in Barnsley today after threatening staff today. South

:11:47.:11:50.

Yorkshire Police say the offenders went into the HSBC Bank in Barnsley

:11:50.:11:54.

Road at Cudworth at around midday. Officers investigating the attack

:11:54.:11:57.

want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at

:11:57.:12:03.

the time. Journalists at two South Yorkshire

:12:03.:12:06.

newspapers have gone out on indefinite strike to fight job cuts.

:12:06.:12:09.

There are proposed job losses at the Doncaster Free Press and South

:12:10.:12:17.

Yorkshire Times as well as other papers in the Johnston Press group.

:12:17.:12:25.

We won some assurances over the future of the titles. -- we want

:12:25.:12:30.

some assurances over the future of the titles. We want people to be

:12:30.:12:35.

made secure in their jobs. There are few things we want to be skies.

:12:35.:12:38.

R the future of nearly half the libraries in Wakefield after the

:12:38.:12:40.

council announced its provisional plans for the service.

:12:40.:12:43.

A new model would see funding withdrawn from 12 sites, with

:12:43.:12:45.

community groups encouraged to take over, leaving just 13 council run

:12:45.:12:55.
:12:55.:12:59.

libraries. Joe Inwood reports. Mark Toulouse Council funding, its

:12:59.:13:04.

future in doubt. This report proposes two types of libraries,

:13:04.:13:09.

the so-called pubs run as normal and satellite, where the council

:13:09.:13:14.

force funding and the local community steps in all they close.

:13:14.:13:17.

The satellite service will be run by voluntary or community groups.

:13:17.:13:22.

However, these would be supported by the council. They can apply for

:13:22.:13:29.

funding. A part of that will be getting people through the doors,

:13:29.:13:35.

something the council has failed to do. Visitor numbers fell by 43 % in

:13:35.:13:39.

under two decades. Half of Wakefield libraries I used by less

:13:39.:13:46.

than 8% of locals, the lowest by just 1%. Not stat recognised by the

:13:46.:13:53.

people of Outwood, it seems. think it is quite well used.

:13:53.:13:56.

anybody is meeting, they meet at the library, because everybody

:13:56.:14:06.
:14:06.:14:07.

knows where it is. It needs to stay. All Tokely, it all comes down to

:14:07.:14:12.

money and how best to save it -- ultimately, it comes down to money

:14:12.:14:17.

and how best to save it. If you cut library services, it will have an

:14:17.:14:25.

impact on the activities young people can get involved them.

:14:25.:14:35.
:14:35.:14:37.

council denied that these proposals are cut. They say there dream...

:14:37.:14:47.
:14:47.:14:51.

They can have their say in You can't get enough of him.

:14:51.:14:56.

Before 7pm tonight, we will be talking to referee, Howard Webb, as

:14:56.:15:00.

he takes charge of a charity match in South Yorkshire.

:15:00.:15:05.

And strutting their stuff, can modelling tips helped prepare

:15:05.:15:15.
:15:15.:15:20.

youngsters for the world of work. --? This story it sums up how

:15:20.:15:23.

villages have stumped up �300,000 in an attempt to save their local

:15:23.:15:27.

pub. It is one of the most spectacular

:15:27.:15:32.

examples of pubs being taken over by their community. One that was

:15:32.:15:36.

taken over last year has come second in the Yorkshire pub of the

:15:36.:15:42.

year. Carlton in Coverdale is a picture

:15:42.:15:47.

perfect Yorkshire village. It will be even better if to -- if the

:15:47.:15:53.

foresters Arms opens. Villagers have stumped up �300,000 to do just

:15:53.:16:00.

that. It will be the country's 6th community owned pub. The response

:16:00.:16:05.

has been staggering. We have been overwhelmed in terms of money,

:16:05.:16:12.

enthusiasm and we had a meeting to bring people up to date. Over 100

:16:12.:16:19.

people turned up. It needs another �50,000 to be ready for a Christmas

:16:19.:16:24.

opening. Is it really a good idea? Last year 1,300 pubs closed across

:16:24.:16:31.

the country. They are currently losing 25 every week. Cheap alcohol

:16:31.:16:37.

and a squeeze on spending has done away with them. This one will open

:16:37.:16:41.

debt free and investors are not looking for a return, merely for

the pub to be the heart of the community again. If the Community

could be what it is like. It has been community end and smashed its

months of closure, the heart of the village may start to beat again. --

Carlton. We have been promising an interview

:17:48.:17:57.

with Howard Webb. I can't see him unless he is hiding.

:17:57.:18:04.

She is down at the Don Valley. These are my two best friends. We

:18:04.:18:11.

will be talking to Howard Webb and a yo-yo champion. It will make

:18:11.:18:14.

sense in three minutes time. The Leeds United manager, Simon

:18:14.:18:20.

Grayson, has banned his players from using Twitter. It comes after

:18:20.:18:27.

Davies honour revealed details of his knee injury before the club. --

:18:27.:18:32.

Davide Somma. The manager says things like this should a be

:18:32.:18:36.

discussed in a manner like this. Yorkshire will have Shack Rudolf

:18:36.:18:41.

available for the Roses clash at Headingley tomorrow. He has

:18:41.:18:45.

received the relevant paperwork and flew in last night. He is in

:18:45.:18:49.

Yorkshire and goes straight into the squad for tomorrow's game.

Rotherham United take on Sheffield Wednesday in a pre-season friendly.

:19:13.:19:17.

Rotherham United have announced that Bluebell Wood Children's

Hospice are to be their chosen charity.

:19:22.:19:28.

Sheffield Wednesday work closely with the charity and Howard Webb is

:19:28.:19:36.

a patron. Howard, you see the not so nice side of football regularly.

:19:36.:19:40.

This is an important side of football. It is wonderful that the

:19:40.:19:45.

clubs have agreed to sponsor the hospice. It is a wonderful place

:19:45.:19:49.

and I became a patron last summer after the World Cup. Tonight,

hopefully with a good cried, we will for raised quite a bit of

money. -- crouch. It is important to get his public profile. When

:20:03.:20:10.

people hear the words, Hospice, it conjures up an image. It is a great

:20:10.:20:15.

place and they are down there with love and laughter. It is really

:20:15.:20:21.

important that this happens. The Football League have taken on board

:20:21.:20:26.

the hospice movement nationally as their chosen charity. Locally, the

:20:26.:20:33.

charities in Yorkshire will benefit. Q of refereeing at tonight's game

Reds verses blues bakery. I am looking forward to it. -- it is

:20:53.:20:57.

Reds versus blues basically. Hopefully it is the start of a good

:20:57.:21:04.

season. When you get the penalty in the last few minutes, you will be

:21:04.:21:11.

totally impartial? I will. What are you like with a yo-yo? Not very

:21:11.:21:18.

good. This is Braden Holmes and he is the new national champion. He is

:21:18.:21:24.

10 years old. Can you talk and yo- yo at the same time? I have been

:21:24.:21:29.

doing it for 18 months. You are already national champion? Who did

:21:29.:21:39.
:21:39.:21:40.

you beat? I don't know. Were they a lot older than me -- if you? Yes. I

:21:40.:21:45.

started at the age of nine but it takes a long time to learn that the

:21:45.:21:55.

yo-yos. What is your toughest trick. It is probably this one. It is

:21:55.:22:05.
:22:05.:22:06.

really hard. I am confused just watching you. You are hoping to go

:22:07.:22:13.

to the European Championships aren't you? Yes. In Orlando. What

:22:13.:22:23.
:22:23.:22:23.

do you think of how would's yo-yos skills? Good for a beginner. Good

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:43.

The summer holidays are nearly here. There is some cricket behind us!

:22:43.:22:49.

We were going to say welcome back, Shack Rudolph.

:22:49.:22:58.

He is going to Lincolnshire tomorrow. -- Jacques Rudolph.

:22:58.:23:02.

Some pupils will be starting to think about their future for the

:23:02.:23:05.

first time, whether it is a new cause or a job but when it comes to

:23:05.:23:09.

giving their pupils the edge, one school is leak -- in Leeds is

:23:09.:23:13.
