Good evening. Tonight's main story. Killed on their honeymoon. Tributes

to the newly-weds from Halifax who died in a quad bike accident in the

Maldives. Anybody who came into contact with them felt they laugh

or for each other and everyone else around them. -- love. Also,

policing the traffic in Leeds. Reducing congestion and making sure

bus lanes are for buses. The couple who secured funding for

their matches business in the Dragon's Den.

It has been a beautiful day. This is how it was in Leeds a career. It

will be different tomorrow. I will have the forecast later. -- in the

Leeds area. In sport, we will be talking to

Jamie James Buchanan as the Leeds rhino head for Wembley. Plus, we

will have the football later on. Trip is have been paid to a couple

from Halifax who died in a quad bike accident in the Maldives. Jay

and Emma Gray were married nine days ago and were described as

soulmates. They have a baby boy who has been orphaned by the tragedy.

They had been staying at a peaceful resort popular with British

holidaymakers. Family say they had everything to live for.

25 years old and on their honeymoon, Jay and Emma Gray had a charmed

life ahead of them. The couple from Halifax left their six-month-old

with family and travelled to the Maldives to start their married

life. On Saturday, both were killed when their quad bike was driven

into a tree. At Holy Trinity School where Emma was a teacher, a gift

for a mutt and -- much-loved member of staff. She made everybody feels

she was their best friend. They were caring, and as a couple they

were like that. They used love and everybody felt it.

Jay worked at this kitchen design company. His boss was at the

wedding. I have not experienced anything like this in my life, of

losing two people so close, on their honeymoon. I think of the

family and what they must be going through. At their home there is a

growing spread of flowers and gifts with many friends stopping to pay

respects. Their parents and siblings were too upset to give

interviews but called them a golden couple with everything to live for.

What has happened is unimaginably sad and that is expressed in the

cards and flowers left here. There are many thoughts for their baby

son who is being cared for by Emma's mother. No doubt the

families will make him the focus for their love and energy in the

future. In Maldives, arrangements are made to two fly the bodies home

and an investigation is under way to find out how this tragedy

occurred. There was a tree in the middle of the road, and that seems

to be what happened. They married here in repent and. -- at this

church. It is really awful. How safe are

quad bikes? Our reporter is at a quad bike Centre in Thirsk a that

runs courses on how to drive them safely.

Thankfully, these sorts of accidents are rare. That is a quad

bike in action. We can speak to an expert. How safe are they? They are

very safe provided the riders are properly trained to ride them.

There are certain aspects of quad biking, mainly the load of them and

their stability and centre of gravity. When those loads are

exceeded, the gravity changes. It can cause a different way of riding.

What else can happen? It is essential that safety is followed.

Nobody should ride a quad bike without safety gear, a proper

helmet, gloves and flesh covered. Are there are restrictions about

how many people can ride them? most of them are designed for a

single rider. If you try to put more than one person on a single

seat quad bike, the centre of gravity has changed and it will not

handle. Fatalities are rare? Very rare, thankfully. We believe in

training to a high standard. And to start as young as possible, so

individuals can learn the abilities of the machines and their own

abilities. What advice would you have somebody going abroad who is

tempted to get on a quad bike? is a great risk. They look a lot of

fun and they are. But there is little opportunity in that scenario

for training. Do not go outside the comfort zone and make sure it is a

good standard and safety equipment is warm. Investigations are

continuing in the Maldives. Five patients operated on by the

same surgeon in Rotherham have been awarded three-quarters of a million

pounds in compensation. Manjit Bhamra specialised in hip

replacement surgery and practised at the district general hospital

under -- until 2007. One patient said that he is in constant pain

despite further surgery to try to correct the problems.

In 2006, this man underwent surgery on his hip. It was supposed to make

his life easier. Instead, he is in constant pain and is dependent on

his wife to get around. I totally have to rely on her. If she was not

here, I would not be able to manage. She dresses me in the morning and

helps me in the bath. She helps me out of bed during the night. He has

had to adapt his furniture to make it easier to sit down. He took his

complaints to a solicitor in Sheffield and discovered he was one

in five cases involving the same surgeon. There were common themes

we looked at. Technical failings. And a lack of follow-up care,

discharging people too quickly after the operation. The Rotherham

NHS Trust said that the doctor was a full-time orthopedic surgeon

working here. He specialised in hip replacements until September 2007.

They said after that they were aware about concerns about his

practice and referred him to the General Medical Council. That

investigation is ongoing. You trust them. Whatever the operation is,

you trust them. That the surgeon is capable of doing the job. When you

find out they are not, you have to question who is employing these

people. The patients have received a total of three-quarters of a

million pounds in compensation. Coming up later. Success on the

streets of London. The Brownlee brothers from Leeds shine in the a

triathlon course. An area by Rother Valley Country

Park looks set to become a �100 million Tiny's themed park. The

council chose the project after the earlier Yes Project was shelved.

Those behind the scheme say it will include oriental gardens, a hotel

and a re creation of the Great Wall of China. It will take two years to

build and will create 400 new jobs. It is unique. People will be

curious as to why we have this here. It will make them want to look at

it. I believe they will come back again because it is a good

experience. Also, another boost for Rotherham. Rolls Royce submitted

plans for two factories that will employed 350 people. They want to

build three factories in total on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in

Rotherham. The Sheffield United striker Ched

Evans has appeared in court charged with rape. He and another man faced

magistrates in north Wales. They are accused of raping a woman in a

hotel. They will appear at Crown Court later this month.

A Scarborough guesthouse owner has been jailed for spying and filming

couples while they were in their rooms. Paul Williams who runs the

Amberleigh House was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison after admitting

two charges under the sexual offences Act.

A Church in North Yorkshire have to suspend services for the first time

in 1,000 years because of bat droppings. Members of St Hilda's

church in Ellerton have spent �10,000 in trying to encourage the

animals into specially built homes. With no success, of the Church

might have to close for good unless permission is to remove -- given to

remove them. Organisers of Leeds Pride say the

event was a massive success. They estimate that up to 25,000 people

managed to make it to the city centre.

I hope everybody had a good time. If you have ever gone into the bus

lane to dodge heavy traffic, beware. From today, driving on bus lanes in

Leeds could lead to a �60 fine. The council says the penalty is needed

to prevent rogue motorists clocking up the lanes. -- blocking lanes.

It is a tempting way of cutting through heavy traffic. Driving in

bus lanes is illegal and if you try it after today in Leeds, there will

be a �60 penalty enforced by cameras at the roadside and on the

buses themselves. The move has gone down badly with motorists.

People should not go in bus lanes, but I do not think they should be

fined. It will cost more money to do things like that where we have

enough cameras. We do not need any more. It is good in the rush-hour.

On Saturday and Sunday, you should be able to use them. It is always

good that the bus lane is clear. The council wants the bus lanes to

be more reliable. They say they are often held up behind cars in bus

lanes. In a survey, almost 2000 drivers were caught breaking the

law in three days. A bus carries 50 or 60 people, and they are going to

work, the shops and to college. Anybody who parks in the bar -- bus

lane will hold people up. The city council has sent out a dummy

penalty notices warning drivers that they are leaving themselves

open to a fine if they go into the bus lane. This morning, the system

when line. Driving in bus lanes has always been illegal, even so, this

move might go down badly. But officials say this move is badly-

Stay with us. Lots to come. �80,000 of investment, for example. The

Dewsbury couple who managed to tame a dragon when they entered at the

Den. That man has the most incredible

trainers! We will be talking about the

Challenge Cup. Leeds Rhinos got to the final. What a dramatic day at

the Keepmoat Stadium. 2-0 at the break. Rangi Chase made a superb

They were eight-two up with 10 minutes to go. Kallum Watkins

showed experience beyond his years with this move. Two minutes into

the golden. Extra-time, Kevin Sinfield slotted home the penalty.

The has it sunk in? Yes, I am still tired and my heart is still beating.

I am chuffed to bits. The lads are made up. We can go down to Wembley.

It is great for us and something we have been working towards. We are

chuffed to bits. You must have a thought for Castleford and their

fans, because they played so well. They were outstanding. It certainly

felt like the game had ball played ball than any this year. It was an

end to end game. It felt like that ride to the death. It is the first

time I have played an extra time game. They were brilliant. We know

you are chomping at the bid to have your say!

If you hadn't played well this season, -- you haven't played well.

Will that the Wigan final be the spur you need? We have got over

that with Wembley. We have learned a few lessons from last year. We

will probably do things a bit differently. We have two weeks to

prepare and two bigger games. We have Harlequins coming up. The lads

have always had faith. There is a wealth of experience. You say you

are going to do things differently - what do you mean? It is a new

coach and a different year, so we will do it the way he wants.

Wembley is great and a lot of people think that is the big prize,

but the big prize is coming home with the Challenge Cup and winning

it. All that yesterday is for nothing if we don't go down and win.

A thank you for joining us. The Brownlee brothers both made the

podium at Hyde Park in London. The altar of the pair, Alistair, was

first, and Johnny was third. We have always known these two were

special but as we inch ever closer to the Olympics, they seem to be

getting stronger and stronger. This is the Olympic course and Alistair,

the old of the brothers at 23, dominated the competition. He was

in a breakaway group of four cyclists that headed the field. But

it was on the runway he showed his strength, leaving the rest of the

field trailing in his wake. Johnny's run was impressive, too,

taking him to third. But his big brother was so far ahead, he could

just enjoy the occasion. It made the race comfortable. The

atmosphere was absolutely incredible. Quite large parts of

the course had people all the way round. This last bit was incredible.

Thousands of people and one of the best atmospheres I have ever seen.

I didn't know I had got it. I am really pleased, but shattered.

would be incredible if they could both be on the podium in 12 months'

time. We are just one game into the

football season, but what a costly one for Doncaster Rovers. Star

striker Billy Sharp was carried off with an injury and will be seeing a

specialist tomorrow to see how long he will be out for. There were

opening day wins for Sheffield and Rotherham United.

The highs and lows of football in Billy Sharp puts his team a 1-0 up.

Then a crunching tackle comes in that leaves him in agony. He is

taken off the field on a stretcher. His colleague is also carried off

start for Barnsley. The boss is happy. It is a dream to be here,

managing Barnsley. It is a bit of a reality check. Leeds fans who

feared their team is not good enough will not have been

encouraged by their defeat to Southampton. There was loads of

time to score the opener, but Leeds went on to lose 3-1. Richard

Cresswell stole in for the second goal of the game as Sheffield

United started life in League One with a win. 2-0 was the final score

against Oldham. Sheffield Wednesday were also beating Lancastrian

opposition two-0. What about this finish against Rochdale? A skipper

Peter Clarke made a clear foul. But they did not make good on their

fortune. Last season's League Two champions Chesterfield were undone

at trendier. -- Tranmere. Another beauty of a goal in league two. And

finally, over 10,000 fans turned up to watch Bradford City lose 2-122

Aldershot. All will be forgiven if they can beat Leeds United in the

You can catch longer highlights on your local BBC website. That is it

from me. Have I been boring year?! He is just getting a bit tired! He

has been up late. It is all to do with the fact that

the owners of a Dewsbury manufacturing business are

celebrating after winning �80,000 on Dragons' Den.

It was scary! Lives and Alan Colleran endured two two hours of

grilling. You were in tears, Liz. looked like I was! It was before

the new Dragon, Hilary Devey, agreed to invest the �80,000 they

needed, to make memory foam mattresses for caravans.

We will give them their -- our own grilling, but first here is their

pitch. Our best-selling product is our most innovative product. It is

a really simple. It has a special memory phone base which smooths out

the lumps and bumps in hard caravan seats. It is totally open on one

side, so you are not constricted like a sleeping bag. When you are

up against a cold war, it is totally dry. But they didn't like

some aspects of the pitch. How did you react to that? Based said you

needed more passion. I think they like to the passion. What they did

not like was that we did not know the figures. But we do know the

figures, we just could not bring them out in that situation. You are

under such pressure. If I you're not allowed to write a spreadsheet

down? You are not. To I thought you were doing really well and knew

exactly what your staff cost, but it is just thinking when they ask

you it. It wasn't on the film, but she did say that we would have them

printed out if we needed them. We had remembered everything else. We

knew how many caravans were in every country, how much the product

cost, what were the last three years' figures and the next three

years' projected figures. We did just not have a breakdown of the

projected cost. What did you need �80,000 for? To start manufacturing

our own phone. At the moment, we buy it in. We want to be vertically

integrated. Third-degree integrated? Sounds wonderful! On

those quiz shows, they say, it lets go and see what you could win. We

have a model here. He has had a hard weekend and is tired! It is

such a simple idea. this on the dressing room and have

a nap before tonight's laid bulletin. Is it comfortable? Yes. A

pillow would help. It is a memory mattress, is it? Yes, it is easy to

Harry did it beautifully and elegantly. Not everyone in the den

did it so beautifully. This is Deborah Meaden. I am really

disappointed. I have no problem with people getting passionate but

you border on the defensive. You have got to give any a reason and

enough information to want to hand you my money. I promise you - if

you had, you would have had an investment from me. But you got an

investment from the new dragon. from Hilary Devey. It turned out

well for us because she is a really good dragon to have on board.

are delighted for you. Thank you for bringing this in.

Can ask you one thing? Has she been to your business? She has promised

to mental you and give you that marketing experience. We have met

her a couple of times and she is really nice. She makes me look like

That looks very complete! It has been a wet weekend. -- constable.

This is a golfer wading back to the club house. This is the remains of

a telegraph pole after it was struck by lightning. This afternoon,

most of the heavy showers have been to the east. This is just east of

York. Keep your pictures coming. Today has been unsettled for

eastern parts. It will be a better day for all this tomorrow. It will

be bright and and you can see a ridge of high pressure building

from the south. Out in the Atlantic, there is another area of low

pressure which will bring up wet weather back. The white cloud in

the East brought heavy showers. They have been rowing down eastern

parts and are still affecting eastern parts of North Yorkshire.

Any showers we still have will die away during the night. It becomes

dry. Skies will clear from the north. It has been a blustery day

today and temperatures will be down to seven degrees towards the Dales.

Tomorrow, quite a cold start to the day and the sun will rise at 5:34am,

and set again at 8:48pm. Tomorrow, a cool start but it will be a

bright start. The sun will shine and any cloud should break up so

there should be plenty of sunshine in the morning. That will be the

best of the weather because cloud will come in again through the

afternoon. For most of us, a dry day with some brighter, sunny

spells to be found a towards the Pennines. Not as breezy as today,

but it will still feel quite cool because the wind macro is -- the

wind is coming down from the north. 17 degrees towards the Pennines and

Peak District. Make the most of tomorrow if you can because the wet

weather returns on Wednesday. It turns a bit lighter for Wednesday

afternoon. Temperatures back to where they should be for the end of
