:00:54. > :00:59.Good evening. Welcome to Look North. A court has heard that a music
:01:00. > :01:02.teacher killed his partner in a prolonged attack in their home in
:01:02. > :01:06.Holmfirth in Yorkshire last December. Andrew Lindo claims he
:01:06. > :01:10.want frod tect his daughter from mistreatment by her mother, her
:01:10. > :01:15.body was put in a suitcase in the garage and wasn't discovered for
:01:15. > :01:24.two months. He denies murder but admits manslaughter. Our crime
:01:24. > :01:29.correspondent explains. 66 Percent ver rans Place where they were
:01:29. > :01:35.living with their two children for nearly a year. Mr Lindo, who is 29
:01:35. > :01:41.contends he was a faithful loving partner, enduring abuse over a
:01:41. > :01:46.number of years at the hands of his 30-year-old partner. But the
:01:46. > :01:51.prosecution at his trial in Bradford say the vocal tutor at a
:01:52. > :01:57.Barnsley music centre was a liar, living a double life at the time of
:01:57. > :02:01.Marie Stewarts killing. They allege on December 18th last year, she was
:02:01. > :02:06.murdered by Mr Lindo, her body dumped in a suitcase in the garage
:02:06. > :02:12.and he invited his lover Angela to spend the night in his house. In a
:02:12. > :02:18.police interview after his arrest, Mr Lindo was said to have portrayed
:02:18. > :02:22.himself as brow-beaten and isolated. Yet faithful to Marie Stewart,
:02:23. > :02:28.despite her alleged fiscal abuse of him and her emotional abuse of
:02:28. > :02:32.their children. He claims he and Miss Stuart hadn't been a couple
:02:32. > :02:38.for some time before her killing. He his life he said was a knight
:02:38. > :02:42.mare. He and the children got on better when she wasn't there. There
:02:42. > :02:47.wasn't this oppressive atmosphere in the house. He had been faithful
:02:47. > :02:51.until driven to infidelty. The prosecution say he is a liar, there
:02:51. > :02:58.had been no abuse by Miss Stuart and no loss of control by her
:02:58. > :03:01.partner. The trial is expected to last about two weeks. It is back
:03:01. > :03:05.the school this week for thousands of pupils across Yorkshire but many
:03:05. > :03:08.students will be going to a new type of school. A free school.
:03:08. > :03:12.There are 24 such schools opening this month in England and three of
:03:12. > :03:17.them are right here in Yorkshire. But not even is in favour of them.
:03:17. > :03:21.So what is a free school? Free schools are set up by groups of
:03:21. > :03:25.parent, teacher, charity, businesses and religious groups in
:03:25. > :03:29.England. Who is paying for them? Funding comes from central
:03:29. > :03:35.Government. 24 schools in England will receive �130 million between
:03:35. > :03:40.them. So, could people confuse free schools with academies? Yes, there
:03:40. > :03:46.are lots of similarity, like and r an Academy it controls its budget,
:03:46. > :03:50.curriculum hours and holidays but unlike an academy it is set up in
:03:50. > :03:57.response to community demand. We report from Batley and Bradford. A
:03:57. > :04:01.new be binning for ballotly grammar. Founded almost 400 years ago, today
:04:01. > :04:04.it became one of Yorkshire's first free schools. The Government says
:04:04. > :04:09.the idea will help meet parental demand in areas where educational
:04:09. > :04:15.achievement is low. The hope is that free schools will raise
:04:15. > :04:23.standards through more competition. Yes, to greater diversity. Yes, to
:04:23. > :04:29.more choice for parents. But no to running schools for profit. Not in
:04:29. > :04:32.hour state-funded education system. Here at the Rainbow school staff
:04:32. > :04:36.are preparing for new tefrplt a week today the classroom will be
:04:36. > :04:40.full. But what will a free school mean for pupils and parents? We are
:04:40. > :04:45.obviously going to be offering longer school day, we are opening
:04:45. > :04:49.from 8.30 till four in the afternoon. We are giving a greater
:04:49. > :04:53.concentration of time to the core subs, within that school day. We
:04:53. > :04:59.are also offering a Saturday morning school, that will happen
:04:59. > :05:03.once a month, which will give opportunities for much more
:05:03. > :05:06.challenging activities that will open the eyes of our young people.
:05:06. > :05:11.Rainbow will share the buildings with the Bradford science academy,
:05:12. > :05:21.also a free school, but critics fee free school funding by Government
:05:21. > :05:25.could drain money for maintenance grey other schools. There are fears
:05:25. > :05:30.it could undermine community cohesion Having lived in the
:05:30. > :05:35.district we have seen how communities have devolved and most
:05:35. > :05:38.of the inner city schools are Monday no ethnic at the moment.
:05:38. > :05:43.They have been like this for the last 20 years. The Local Authority
:05:43. > :05:47.and the powers that be do not seem to have done anything about this
:05:47. > :05:49.issue. At Batley grammar parents we spoke to this morning not
:05:49. > :05:53.surprisingly were enthusiastic about the free school concept.
:05:53. > :05:59.is good for the kids and the parents. Being able to send their
:05:59. > :06:03.kinds to a, you know, better higher standard school. This school
:06:04. > :06:08.because it is already running, and already, the structure is there, so
:06:08. > :06:12.I think it would be successful. will see how things change.
:06:12. > :06:15.Hopefully, I don't think it is going to change too much, but we
:06:15. > :06:19.will wait and see. These youngsters may have got their first lessons
:06:19. > :06:28.out of the way, but for those behind the free school concept, the
:06:28. > :06:33.learning curve is just beginning. Joining us from Westminster is
:06:33. > :06:37.David Ward the Liberal Democrat Democrat for Bradford east. You
:06:37. > :06:43.should be championling these schools shouldn't you? I champion
:06:43. > :06:48.all schools as best I can. I do that particularly within the
:06:48. > :06:51.maintained sector by telling people what good work is being done there.
:06:51. > :06:55.Not in effect rubbishing them by saying we need something else,
:06:55. > :07:00.because they are fail, which is really what the story is behind
:07:00. > :07:04.this proposal. The idea of course and the background to the coalition
:07:04. > :07:09.government's education policy is surely to encourage schools and
:07:09. > :07:14.areas of social deprivation and to offer parents a real alternative to
:07:14. > :07:19.mainstream schools. Now those boxes are surely ticked by these schools.
:07:19. > :07:24.What is it that these schools are going to do? That other schools
:07:24. > :07:27.cannot? Why cannot these proposers get really heavily involved in
:07:27. > :07:31.supporting some of the other schools? Some of the classroom
:07:31. > :07:36.numbers will be small as well. That has to be a good thing. We know
:07:36. > :07:41.that Bradford has had prop problems? OK, let us look at that
:07:41. > :07:47.as an issue. If this is going to be a school with smaller class size,
:07:47. > :07:50.who will afor that. These will be effectively private schools which
:07:50. > :07:55.will be publicly funded. That has to come from somewhere and it has
:07:55. > :07:59.to come from other schools. accept that, you saying there might
:07:59. > :08:02.be inferior or will they be better school that, the parents can say at
:08:02. > :08:07.least we have had a choice and we are choosing to go there is this.
:08:07. > :08:11.You just brushed aside the fact that they are expensive. We are,
:08:11. > :08:15.within the coalition government, we are telling people, quite rightly
:08:15. > :08:18.we are in the middle of a economic crisis. We are also saying to
:08:18. > :08:23.school, because of that there is a limit to the fund that we can biv
:08:23. > :08:30.to our maintained schools. On the same time, we are turning round,
:08:30. > :08:34.and lo and behold finding �130 million to promote what is really
:08:34. > :08:36.Michael Gove's pet project. So fact they are going to drive up
:08:36. > :08:40.standards is something that Bradford needs, it is something
:08:40. > :08:46.they have been lagging behind for so long. Where is the evidence?
:08:46. > :08:52.Where is the evidence they will drive up standards? Look, the
:08:52. > :08:55.secret to a good effective school is not so hard the find. Quality
:08:55. > :09:00.head teacher, quality teaching, quality management, teaching and
:09:00. > :09:04.learning taking place, that can happen in any school in any
:09:04. > :09:09.structure, what is the fear? What is it about these schools that will
:09:09. > :09:12.make them so special? Other than a lot of more additional funding. If
:09:12. > :09:19.we gave ta tho other schools they could perform equally. Thank you
:09:19. > :09:24.very much for joining us. Coming up. We are meant to be a nation of
:09:24. > :09:30.animal lover, so why has the number of abandoned dos in Yorkshire hit
:09:30. > :09:35.an 11 year high? And another accolade. We speak to the doctor
:09:35. > :09:42.who has -- boxer who has added the bantamweight title to his other
:09:42. > :09:47.belts. School holidays may be ore for many but figures show there is
:09:47. > :09:51.a worrying number of ar sop attacks in the summer. The Fire Service say
:09:51. > :09:56.the number has doubled here, Dan Johnson is in Sheffield this
:09:56. > :10:00.evening. What is behind this? this is the kind of place that the
:10:00. > :10:07.Fire Service have been back to time and Genk over the summer. It's a
:10:07. > :10:12.derelict club and there is loads of rubbish dumped round here. It is
:10:12. > :10:16.the kind of place for some who like to start fires there is too much
:10:16. > :10:19.temptation. So across South Yorkshire there has been a big
:10:19. > :10:22.increase in maul fires that don't involve risk to life. I have been
:10:22. > :10:31.out with a fire crew in Sheffield, seeing how they deal with this
:10:31. > :10:35.problem. It is Saturday night, and green watch at elm lane fire
:10:35. > :10:39.station are called into action. They deal with a lot of small fires,
:10:39. > :10:43.started deliberately and they have had a busy time over the summer
:10:43. > :10:48.holidays. It is half past nine and this the first call out. A car on
:10:48. > :10:52.fire, in a residential street, one of the Sheffield estates. This is
:10:52. > :10:56.typical of the sort of fire they have been dealing with all summer.
:10:56. > :11:01.Some places get repeatedly targeted. This derelict working mens' club is
:11:01. > :11:06.a hotspot for kids setting fires. Steve's an arson reduction officer.
:11:06. > :11:11.He is trying to put a stop the problem. At least once a week and
:11:11. > :11:14.some time, consecutive nights we are coming down here, it stops us,
:11:14. > :11:20.dealing with really -- real emergencies where people's lives
:11:20. > :11:24.are at risk. It is piles of rubbish set alight. Matches thrown on the
:11:24. > :11:30.dry grass. When you look at the fig yours can see just how busy they
:11:30. > :11:34.have been. In July and August last yore, there were 653 deliberate
:11:34. > :11:39.secondary fires. For the same period this year, that has doubled
:11:39. > :11:45.to more than 1300. That means they are dealing with 20 fires every day.
:11:45. > :11:49.At the moment we have a dry spell, we see an increase in number of
:11:49. > :11:55.small anti-social behaviour fires. Rubbish fire, grass fire, that type
:11:55. > :11:59.of incident. They stop us attending life-threatening or property
:11:59. > :12:04.threatening incidents. So Steve is also out regularly talking to young
:12:04. > :12:07.people. Trying to divert them away from starting fires. Do you know
:12:07. > :12:12.anything about fires that are set here? Activities are available to
:12:12. > :12:15.keep them off the streets. Football, or computer games. We ask them
:12:15. > :12:20.questions. Get them on our side. Make them aware of the problems we
:12:20. > :12:23.have with little fires that we have. The anti-social behaviour fires.
:12:23. > :12:30.the meantime, the crew have put out the car fire. But it probably won't
:12:30. > :12:34.be long before they are called out again. Well even since we filmed
:12:34. > :12:37.here on Friday there have been two more fires over the weekend. The
:12:37. > :12:41.Fire Service back here Saturday and Sunday. Now they are blaming this
:12:41. > :12:45.increase on the long dry spell that we have had this summer. They are
:12:45. > :12:49.warning that the time they spend dealing with the small nuisance
:12:49. > :12:58.fires could mean delays to them getting to more important possibly
:12:58. > :13:04.Investigations are continuing in York after a man was hit and killed
:13:04. > :13:10.by taxi. They'd happened on Museum Street in the city centre. The man
:13:11. > :13:13.and a woman he was with were trapped under the car. Police have
:13:13. > :13:18.arrested a third person on suspicion of murdering a man in
:13:18. > :13:22.Leeds. Jason Hall died of head injuries in Temple Newsam after
:13:22. > :13:28.what police said was a sustained assault. Police are still appealing
:13:28. > :13:32.for witnesses. An MP has called for an urgent meeting with the health
:13:32. > :13:36.secretary after -- about the future of the children's heart unit in
:13:36. > :13:41.Leeds. Campaigners have fought for months to says the unit. Rachel
:13:41. > :13:45.Reeves once the meeting with Andrew Lansley. I think that we need to
:13:45. > :13:50.sit down with Andrew Lansley and make it clear to him the strength
:13:50. > :13:54.of local opinion, because every time I am talking to patients and
:13:54. > :14:00.give families in Leeds, I am more and more certain that it should be
:14:00. > :14:04.kept open for children and families in our region. The number of stray
:14:04. > :14:09.and abandoned yacht -- dogs in Yorkshire are at its highest for
:14:09. > :14:15.more than a decade according to a report by the Dogs Trust. More than
:14:15. > :14:22.500 were put down because no homes to be found for them. We have been
:14:22. > :14:28.to a dog charity. This is just one section of the kennels. These are
:14:28. > :14:37.the lucky ones. They have been re- homed. 580 dogs in West Yorkshire
:14:37. > :14:43.were not that Lucker -- lucky. With me is the director of the Dogs
:14:43. > :14:48.Trust. We are constantly full. Another dog always comes in to take
:14:48. > :14:54.his place. The straight kennels bring us constantly for help.
:14:54. > :14:58.thing there has been a big increase this year? The economy takes a part
:14:58. > :15:01.in it. People do not have as much money, they work longer hours, and
:15:01. > :15:09.they have not told about the commitment involved, and some
:15:09. > :15:19.people view them as it stick -- disposable I can its -- disposable
:15:19. > :15:23.items. These people will be taking this dog home. I saw it advertised
:15:23. > :15:29.on the TV, and I wanted to take a dog home from here that needs a
:15:30. > :15:36.home. Everyone seemed to take puppies, but I'll doctors need
:15:36. > :15:44.homes as well. -- old dog's Mead home. They are so many beautiful
:15:44. > :15:49.dogs. These guys take their dock home on Saturday. But there are
:15:49. > :15:56.more docks here. A lot of dogs have been fitted with microchips, which
:15:56. > :16:04.reduce their chances of becoming stray dogs in future. You can make
:16:04. > :16:12.an appointment to get your dog micro chip it for free. -- your dog
:16:12. > :16:19.fitted with a microchip. Join us later in the programme as we meet a
:16:19. > :16:24.reggae legend. I don't know what you got a glimpse of this at the
:16:24. > :16:30.weekend, but what a win for Doncaster's Jamie McDonald. He won
:16:30. > :16:34.the World Bantam while -- bantamweight title. He won on a
:16:34. > :16:40.unanimous points decision. He came into the studio earlier with his
:16:40. > :16:48.belt. It was a really tough night. As you can see, I have the marks to
:16:48. > :16:57.prove it! You got worst buys than I have! A how tough was it? Did you
:16:58. > :17:02.always have confidence to win that fight? I was 100 % confident. I
:17:02. > :17:09.knew if I had got caught, he could have knocked me out, and others
:17:09. > :17:17.worried about that, but we had our gain clan -- game-plan. I am the
:17:17. > :17:25.European champions. I thought he would start fading a bit sooner
:17:25. > :17:33.than when he did. It was a really tough fight. What do you do now
:17:33. > :17:39.after this 10th week intensive training camp? A holiday? Yes. I
:17:39. > :17:44.have my holiday booked! I have Doncaster or races but, and then I
:17:44. > :17:49.am going on holiday with my girlfriend in Turkey. I am thinking
:17:49. > :17:59.that I will fight again next summer. I think there will be two more
:17:59. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:08.European defences. Then there will maybe be a fight for an eliminator.
:18:08. > :18:16.Are you back at work tomorrow? I bought a new tools today!
:18:16. > :18:26.tough is it? How much do you have to wait? 10 stone �6. How tough
:18:26. > :18:30.
:18:30. > :18:36.visit to go down to that weight? is my life. Do you balloon like
:18:37. > :18:46.Ricky Hatton used to? I put a few extra pounds on for the last fight,
:18:47. > :18:53.
:18:53. > :19:02.but I put the hard work in, so it I did well. He gave all weight -- he
:19:02. > :19:05.will put on a stone and a half on his holiday. Congratulations to
:19:06. > :19:09.Featherstone who won the Championship for the third season
:19:09. > :19:19.Championship for the third season in a row. Huddersfield beat
:19:19. > :19:32.

:19:36. > :19:43.bittersweet victory, as he learned bittersweet victory, as he learned
:19:43. > :19:48.he would be losing his right for next season. In football, it was a
:19:48. > :19:58.quieter weekend than usual, as our Championship sides today rest for
:19:58. > :20:11.
:20:11. > :20:21.the international break. Sheffield performance from Sheffield United.
:20:21. > :20:31.Their first goal was scrappy. Chris Porter with the telling touch. This
:20:31. > :21:04.
:21:05. > :21:13.last. How about this for a scissor Controversy as Leyton Orient's
:21:13. > :21:23.defender holds onto the Chesterfield player. No penalty,

:21:44. > :21:49.and the challenge broke Jack Rotherham are still top join the on

:22:26. > :22:34.Jimmy Cliff is performing in Leeds. He has not been in Yorkshire for a
:22:34. > :22:40.long time. He is very welcome. privileged to meet him. He has not
:22:40. > :22:47.been back to Yorkshire for a long time. It is a pleasure to be here.
:22:47. > :22:53.Not quite the Caribbean weather that you are used to. I still love
:22:53. > :23:01.it. What is it that you laugh about the British audience? I think the
:23:01. > :23:09.British audience were my first international acceptance, and so
:23:10. > :23:18.they gave me the push off. They have always been very receptive and
:23:18. > :23:21.enthusiastic about my music. Over the years, you brought reggae music
:23:21. > :23:26.to the rest of the world, and a lot of them have had really positive
:23:26. > :23:30.messages. How do you think they are still being interpreted today?
:23:30. > :23:36.think that is one of the things that has kept my music going,
:23:37. > :23:42.because it has had a positive message. Today, the way the world
:23:42. > :23:48.is today, especially with the economic situation and all of that,
:23:48. > :23:54.people need some sort of positive message to appreciate your own life,
:23:54. > :23:58.and want to go on and enrich your life. I think my music at least
:23:58. > :24:05.supplies some of that. You played at Glastonbury recently, and that
:24:05. > :24:10.was a very different audience in terms of age levels. It is so wide
:24:10. > :24:20.audience, a very eclectic audience, and a huge audience! That was great.
:24:20. > :24:21.
:24:22. > :24:26.You have done all sorts, from acting, to being a super start in
:24:26. > :24:36.the music industry. I've not done Broadway! We would love to see
:24:36. > :24:42.that! My first love was acting. I have not pursued by acting career.
:24:42. > :24:51.I did three movies. I have a lot more songster right, lots more
:24:51. > :24:57.touring to do, working to become a stadium act, and not to be done.
