:00:02. > :00:07.Good evening and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the
:00:07. > :00:10.programme tonight - putting his life on the line.
:00:10. > :00:16.Dramatic footage of the Yorkshire soldier dealing with the Taliban's
:00:16. > :00:19.deadliest weapons. Also tonight - airline drama. Passengers relive
:00:19. > :00:29.the moment the pilot had to abort this landing during high winds at
:00:29. > :00:32.
:00:32. > :00:35.Leeds Bradford airport. People were screaming and crying.
:00:35. > :00:41.It was very scary. And we'll be talking to the brothers Brownlee
:00:41. > :00:45.who are taking the world of triathlon by storm.
:00:45. > :00:55.Another windy day, strong wind continues tonight. The latest
:00:55. > :00:58.
:00:58. > :01:03.Tonight, the extraordinary footage of one of the most dangerous jobs
:01:03. > :01:09.on earth. The BBC has been given an exclusive opportunity to film bomb
:01:09. > :01:13.disposal squads at work in Afghanistan. One member of the
:01:13. > :01:16.squad is 29-year-old Adam Galloway, who's from North Yorkshire. We
:01:16. > :01:19.caught up with him earlier today and we'll hear from him in a moment.
:01:19. > :01:29.But first Cathy Killick reports on the realities of a job that carries
:01:29. > :01:34.
:01:34. > :01:39.the risk of death and injury every Last year, they killed or wounded
:01:39. > :01:45.8,500 coalition troops and 11,000 Afghans. The improvised explosive
:01:45. > :01:51.devices are the Taliban as chief weapon in Afghanistan. Adam
:01:51. > :01:55.Galloway's job is to destroy them before they destroy others. They
:01:55. > :02:02.know where we cannot see, they know the ground more intimately than we
:02:02. > :02:12.could hope to. It works. It slows us down. It breaks morale. It costs
:02:12. > :02:18.us money. It achieves those things at little cost to them. It's the
:02:18. > :02:24.first time the MoD has allowed the disposal to be filmed. We are in
:02:24. > :02:29.Helmand Province at a suspected booby trap. A search dog reaction
:02:29. > :02:39.is the first sign explosives are present. Searchers set up the
:02:39. > :02:40.
:02:40. > :02:43.ground, Adam diffuses the bomb. There is luck involved in
:02:43. > :02:48.everything. Before I went around thinking the next day would be my
:02:48. > :02:54.last, I could not work. There is a lot at stake. In North Yorkshire
:02:54. > :03:04.his wife and daughter love having him home. But his job carries the
:03:04. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:13.risk he may disappear from their The job demands total focus. The
:03:13. > :03:18.gingerly exposed wires must be cut and Adam uses clippers they can be
:03:18. > :03:28.triggered from a distance. We're expecting a pop, that is it. That
:03:28. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:33.is not the end of it. Main charge directly beneath. Good to go.
:03:33. > :03:37.It is now safe to retrieve the bomb components and explosive. It will
:03:37. > :03:43.be forensically examined for clues but stemming the tide of the bombs
:03:43. > :03:50.is proving difficult. Around 1000 are planted every month. The five
:03:50. > :03:53.kilos of explosives are blown up and Adam poses with the bomb. It
:03:53. > :04:02.has taken 40 people four hours, a morning's work, they are lucky to
:04:02. > :04:08.survive. Captain Adam Galloway is in London. We saw some
:04:08. > :04:13.extraordinary images in the film, this is an overwhelmingly risky job,
:04:13. > :04:18.why do you do it? I will be honest, it has not been a
:04:18. > :04:24.lifelong ambition. I have just ended up doing it. It is the way my
:04:24. > :04:28.career progressed. When I commissioned by first tour, the
:04:28. > :04:33.commanding officer was an ammunitions officer and said I
:04:34. > :04:42.would be the right person for the job. He said I should give it a
:04:42. > :04:47.whirl. And I did and it has gone on from there. He's a job you enjoy?
:04:47. > :04:53.do, I am proud of what I do. There are moments when I think actually
:04:53. > :05:00.what am I doing here? But I am proud of what I do. In hindsight I
:05:01. > :05:05.am glad I have done it. We heard in the film the Taliban lay up to 1000
:05:05. > :05:11.home-made bombs every month, it at you and your team a whole morning
:05:11. > :05:21.to destroy just one. That is a battle you will never win. I am not
:05:21. > :05:26.certain, I will not quote figures, a team of four, alongside us a
:05:26. > :05:34.search team of eight. Normally, it depends on how the device has been
:05:34. > :05:38.found but also the situation. The bigger picture, it is achievable
:05:38. > :05:42.and it is about making it irrelevant. When you do the job,
:05:42. > :05:49.what makes you good at it, what qualities do you need to defuse the
:05:49. > :05:56.bombs? The selection process and training is a long drawn-out thing.
:05:56. > :06:01.Essentially, you have the technical ability, the ability to focus,
:06:01. > :06:07.maintain focus in a stressful situation. What does your wife and
:06:07. > :06:11.daughter think? I have been lucky with my family insomuch as they are
:06:11. > :06:18.fully aware of what I do, I have explained it to them, they have
:06:18. > :06:23.taken it on board. They have been nothing but supportive. Good luck
:06:23. > :06:27.on your next tour and thank you for joining us. Cheers, thank you.
:06:27. > :06:29.you can see more of Adam in action with the Bomb Squad on BBC One at
:06:29. > :06:32.10.35 tonight - straight after our late bulletin.
:06:32. > :06:38.A woman from Otley's been telling how passengers screamed in terror
:06:38. > :06:41.as their plane tried to land at Leeds Bradford Airport. The flight
:06:41. > :06:45.was returning to Yorkshire from Gran Canaria but flew right into
:06:45. > :06:49.yesterdays gales. The plane was forced to abort its landing and fly
:06:49. > :06:56.to Manchester instead. The drama was captured on camera by Look
:06:56. > :07:02.North. Ian White reports. More like a balance the landing.
:07:02. > :07:07.The dramatic moment when flight 8049 from Gran Canary or tried to
:07:07. > :07:12.touch down Leeds-Bradford airport. You can hear the plane engines
:07:12. > :07:18.roaring as the landing is aborted. Despite one will touching the
:07:18. > :07:23.runway, the pilot decided to divert to Manchester as 60 mile an hour
:07:23. > :07:27.wings tossed the plane around. remember bouncing a few times and
:07:27. > :07:32.seeing the winning go upwards. I closed my eyes. Some people were
:07:32. > :07:38.screaming and crying. It was very tense, you could feel the
:07:38. > :07:42.atmosphere. When we went back up, there was confusion and panic.
:07:42. > :07:46.Leeds-Bradford is the highest airport so wet and windy days are
:07:46. > :07:56.not unusual. Over the years, the cameras have core pretty hair-
:07:56. > :08:04.raising landings. -- Court. This was Concorde's first visit in 1986.
:08:04. > :08:10.The French pilot was relieved to be an Yorkshire soil. Strong winds!
:08:10. > :08:15.And VIPs on board this flight in at 2002 got a shock when the plane
:08:15. > :08:19.touched the runway. There are strong crosswinds. The wind speed
:08:19. > :08:23.is not the problem, it might be rough wind but the crosswind
:08:23. > :08:28.presents the major problem. We are trained for that, it's not a big
:08:28. > :08:34.problem but it is something we are aware of and sometimes it might put
:08:34. > :08:39.the aeroplane outside its operating envelope. 10-year-old Owen slept
:08:39. > :08:45.for three but the Munn is glad to be back. Everyone will want to know
:08:45. > :08:50.will he fly again? For the time being, yes. But maybe in a few
:08:50. > :08:53.years we will try again. Later on look north - Fond memories of
:08:53. > :09:03.growing up in a children's home. We meet the adults who say their time
:09:03. > :09:13.Now MPs across our region will be urgently scrutinising the small
:09:13. > :09:15.
:09:15. > :09:20.print of proposals to change parliamentary boundaries. If the
:09:20. > :09:28.proposals go ahead, the number of seats in the county would drop from
:09:28. > :09:32.54-50. The five seats will see no changes. In West Yorkshire, every
:09:32. > :09:36.constant -- constituency would change and Shipley would disappear
:09:36. > :09:46.from the political map altogether. I hope that is clear, we will
:09:46. > :09:49.
:09:49. > :09:53.explain it in a moment. Len Tingle will be explaining why the changes
:09:53. > :09:58.are taking place - but first let's talk to the MP for Shipley Philip
:09:59. > :10:04.Davies. I am bitterly disappointed at Shipley is earmarked abolition.
:10:04. > :10:08.It is a historic constituency made famous by Sir Marcus Fox and it is
:10:08. > :10:13.sad a constituency with the historic fame were no longer be on
:10:13. > :10:18.the political map. It is very sad. My concern is for my constituents
:10:18. > :10:22.and I want to make sure whether they are but they feel they have an
:10:22. > :10:29.affinity with the place. My main fear is many constituents will feel
:10:29. > :10:35.little affinity to the constituencies where they are put.
:10:35. > :10:40.The let's hear from those same constituents. Shipley is Shipley.
:10:40. > :10:47.It should cover the Shipley area. It has been one of the longest
:10:47. > :10:52.seats, 1880 something. When it was established. It has been going a
:10:52. > :10:57.long time. It is a shame. If it is for the best for the country, we
:10:57. > :11:03.have to put up with it. It's a load of rubbish. I have not read it
:11:03. > :11:10.properly but I cannot understand why it is happening. I was born
:11:10. > :11:14.near Shipley, we do call a spade a shovel. I wonder, it has always
:11:14. > :11:19.been an important barometer the change. So often, whatever happens
:11:19. > :11:25.in Shipley happens across the country in terms of who remains in
:11:25. > :11:31.charge. Yes, it's been eight important constituency for the
:11:31. > :11:34.Conservative Party. We could not win their election if we do not
:11:34. > :11:43.women should be. It's sad politically but also it will be sad
:11:43. > :11:48.for those people in my constituency and those who feel an affinity. And
:11:48. > :11:52.will he be sad for the town's MP, could to be edged out?
:11:52. > :11:58.My constituency goes into so many places, the permutations are
:11:58. > :12:03.endless. It is only a proposal. The final proposals will be agreed in
:12:03. > :12:06.2013. There's a long way to go yet before I decide about my future. I
:12:06. > :12:10.want to find out what my constituents think and if they are
:12:10. > :12:14.unhappy with the changes I will reflect these views to the Boundary
:12:14. > :12:22.Commission. If they are happy, I would grin and bear it.
:12:22. > :12:27.Let's join our political reporter who is with me.
:12:27. > :12:32.This is driven by the government. The Independent Commission were
:12:32. > :12:36.asked to reduce the number of constituencies across the country
:12:36. > :12:41.from 650 to 600. It is not simply a case of going to Yorkshire and
:12:41. > :12:46.taking out three because that is what they have done. At the same
:12:46. > :12:52.time, they want to make sure every constituency has the same number of
:12:52. > :12:59.voters. Some of them has as low as 40,000 like Shipley, they could
:12:59. > :13:05.have over 100,000. Every constituency would have roughly
:13:05. > :13:10.67,000 voters. Who else will be a big loser in this?
:13:10. > :13:14.Two seats go and under these suggestions, David Blunkett who has
:13:14. > :13:23.made it clear he does not want anything to do with this at all,
:13:23. > :13:29.his seat would disappear. And also Hilary Benn, that seat would
:13:29. > :13:39.disappear. They are both a round 50,000 voters. Much less than the
:13:39. > :13:43.government sees as the optimum A Selby could be at consistency
:13:43. > :13:47.with Castleford. The idea is that they will not do this on a
:13:47. > :13:54.political basis, but the geographical. But that he cannot
:13:54. > :14:00.quite manage that, then it flows up a few anomalies. You have a
:14:00. > :14:09.constituency that is partly in South Yorkshire, partly in their
:14:09. > :14:14.north to Russia. It is out for consultation. MPs will decide. Nick
:14:14. > :14:24.Clegg's constituency will be split. Who will have the final say?
:14:24. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:35.will be MPs. They will have the final map. Thank you.
:14:35. > :14:42.An investigation has been launched after a blaze at a former school in
:14:42. > :14:45.Bradford. Fire crews had to deal with winds of up to 40 miles per
:14:45. > :14:48.hour to control the blaze at the old Yorkshire Martyrs Catholic
:14:48. > :14:53.College in the early hours of this morning. Nearby Tong school was
:14:53. > :14:59.closed while the damping down process began. The fire service say
:14:59. > :15:05.it could have been much worse. idea is downwind and we had to
:15:05. > :15:09.fight extremely hard to protect the fire from spreading. It could have
:15:09. > :15:13.spread at a rapid rate. It was only by the quick-thinking of the
:15:13. > :15:22.initial cruised that has spent the fire from spreading further than it
:15:22. > :15:25.has. -- crews. Parliament will debate the release
:15:25. > :15:28.of Government Hillsborough papers for the first time in 13 years next
:15:29. > :15:31.month. 96 people died in a crush at the FA Cup semi-final in 1989. The
:15:31. > :15:33.debate will take place on October 17th, following a request by MP
:15:33. > :15:36.Steve Rotheram. Princess Anne has officially opened
:15:36. > :15:39.the new Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield. It has taken almost a
:15:39. > :15:42.year to move all the departments into the new building. The Princess
:15:43. > :15:47.Royal met staff and patients as she toured the wards. She has also
:15:47. > :15:50.visited a housing project in Bradford.
:15:50. > :15:54.It served the region for more than 50 years, providing a kind and
:15:54. > :15:57.loving environment for orphaned children across Yorkshire.
:15:57. > :16:02.But in 1984, the Fairfield Children's Home in Harrogate was
:16:02. > :16:05.closed for good to make way for a new housing estate. Some residents
:16:05. > :16:13.have now got back together for an emotional reunion to re-live some
:16:13. > :16:20.of those happy memories from the 1940s and 50s. Michelle Lyons went
:16:20. > :16:24.along to join them. June Fairfield children's home in
:16:24. > :16:29.Harrogate was built by the primitive Methodist Church in 1931.
:16:29. > :16:34.It was fundamentally an orphanage, but also provided accommodation for
:16:34. > :16:37.those families who had hit hard times. This man and four of his
:16:37. > :16:43.siblings were taken there by his father when his mother became
:16:43. > :16:52.terminally ill. I remember a journey by bus with my father and
:16:52. > :16:57.there were five of was and he took us to the front door and I
:16:57. > :17:03.remembered there were flowers growing outside the door. The
:17:03. > :17:11.anticipation, I was at 5.5. The time will always be distinct in my
:17:11. > :17:14.memory. For him and his twin brother, it soon became home. They
:17:14. > :17:24.met up with some former residents who shared their fond memories.
:17:24. > :17:25.
:17:25. > :17:33.When they pulled the place down, in the early 1980s, reunions have died
:17:33. > :17:37.at death. Catching up with poor defence has been just amazing.
:17:37. > :17:41.People do not believe we had a happy childhood, growing up in a
:17:41. > :17:45.children's home, but we did. Happiest of times. At every child
:17:45. > :17:50.and there was like your brother or a disaster. The only thing we must
:17:50. > :17:55.was having cuddles with someone and being special to one person, like
:17:55. > :18:03.your parents. But it was a very happy childhood. Apart from fond
:18:03. > :18:13.memories, the stained land -- stained-glass window was all that
:18:13. > :18:17.is left. We have services for disabled children, services for
:18:17. > :18:22.young carers. We work with mothers and babies in prisons and we are
:18:22. > :18:27.proud of her heritage and where we started from. A housing estate has
:18:27. > :18:33.been built where the home once did. But that Lexy clubs on in those
:18:33. > :18:41.children that grew up to be happy and healthy adult. -- that a legacy
:18:41. > :18:45.goes on. Before 7pm:
:18:45. > :18:49.The former enfant terrible of British art on show at Chatsworth.
:18:49. > :18:59.Damien Hirst's latest creation on display for all to see in the Peak
:18:59. > :19:00.
:19:00. > :19:05.In cricket, Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan has been given his first central
:19:05. > :19:07.contract by England. It is just reward for his excellent season
:19:07. > :19:10.with the national side. The chairman of selectors said the
:19:10. > :19:20.elite 13 man list is designed to reward players who perform well
:19:20. > :19:21.
:19:21. > :19:24.consistently for England. Now fresh off the plane from
:19:24. > :19:30.Beijing, we have Yorkshire's latest world champion and the runner up
:19:30. > :19:32.too. It is not surprising they are here
:19:32. > :19:35.together because they are brothers. Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee from
:19:35. > :19:38.Leeds finished one and two in the world Triathlon series. Not bad
:19:38. > :19:46.preparation for next year's Olympics. Here they are now.
:19:46. > :19:56.Congratulations. Jet lagged? When did you get off the plane? About
:19:56. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:06.two hours ago. You did so well. Things are going really well,
:20:07. > :20:12.aren't they? Thank you. This has been a big year for both of us. In
:20:12. > :20:16.London, I had to qualify for the Olympics. After that it was hard to
:20:16. > :20:26.get going. It was good to get a good race in a Beijing after a
:20:26. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:36.couple of top weeks. And. I love that shot of you with the flat.
:20:36. > :20:37.
:20:37. > :20:44.What was it like out in Beijing? Everything seemed a small war.
:20:44. > :20:50.old are you now? I and 23. You had been on this so far before. We were
:20:50. > :20:53.talking about how many years you thought it would be before you were
:20:53. > :20:58.coming up behind the Big Brother. There I say it, you have even been
:20:58. > :21:03.in front once this year. Switzerland, about four weeks ago.
:21:03. > :21:13.He said he was a lie at the time. Every time I beat him, he has an
:21:13. > :21:23.excuse!. I am pleased to become second behind him. He is a great
:21:23. > :21:24.
:21:24. > :21:28.athlete. He is the best dry athlete at the moment. -- triathlete.
:21:28. > :21:38.would not be that kind to my brother! Do you ever have a cross
:21:38. > :21:40.
:21:41. > :21:48.word? It is just silly things like the washing up. Crazy golf is
:21:48. > :21:53.another one. We have said time and time again we will be excited when
:21:53. > :21:57.we have qualified and met the selection criteria. Now we're
:21:57. > :22:07.looking for a to the next season. We can see on the Olympic course
:22:07. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:16.here. We started on the wrong side of the pontoon. I don't think I had
:22:16. > :22:26.that clear stroke in all 15 metres. We are very proud of you. We will
:22:26. > :22:30.
:22:30. > :22:33.keep on the following you. Thank you. Thanks for coming in.
:22:33. > :22:36.It's that time of year when strange creations appear in the gardens of
:22:36. > :22:39.Chatsworth House. The annual Beyond Limits modern art exhibition has
:22:39. > :22:42.seen all sorts of artwork installed in the grounds. This year, it has a
:22:42. > :22:45.brand new sculpture by Leeds born Damien Hirst which has everybody
:22:45. > :22:51.talking. It is ten feet high and called Legend. Our man in the
:22:51. > :22:55.garden is Tom Ingall and he joins us now.
:22:55. > :23:00.Here is something you don't see prolong around the estate of
:23:00. > :23:08.Chatsworth every day. It is a giant unicorn. It is one piece by Damien
:23:08. > :23:12.Hirst and it is part of the new exhibition. In past years, we have
:23:12. > :23:18.seen Kate Moss in a state of undress and even a many angel of
:23:18. > :23:24.the North. This is a winged Pegasus horse, ten feet high, cast in
:23:24. > :23:27.bronze and never seen on display anywhere else in the country. You
:23:27. > :23:31.must be delighted to have it here as the centrepiece of the
:23:31. > :23:37.exhibition? We are very police to open the exhibition with a piece by
:23:37. > :23:41.Damien Hirst. It has never been seen before. It sits beside the
