Hello. Welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight, the right to stand

:00:08.:00:13.

and watch football. Should German-style terraces be

:00:13.:00:19.

introduced here? One campaigner who was at the Hillsborough disaster,

:00:19.:00:24.

says definitely not. A war veteran's precious memories - we

:00:24.:00:30.

speak to the soldier who lost both his legs in Afghanistan and has had

:00:31.:00:38.

his prize possessions stolen by burglars. I fight for and my own

:00:38.:00:42.

people, but the only thing I've got, this is the only thing I've got.

:00:42.:00:47.

And the tree of life. The latest David Hockney creation is unveiled

:00:47.:00:54.

at a new exhibition in Saltaire. The Sheffield skyline was cloudy

:00:54.:01:00.

when these shots were taken. More sunshine to come tomorrow. All the

:01:00.:01:10.
:01:10.:01:11.

details coming up. Hello, good evening. Tonight, a

:01:11.:01:16.

football fan who witnessed the Hillsborough disaster has been in

:01:16.:01:20.

Westminster trying to persuade MPs not to bring back standing at top-

:01:21.:01:26.

flight matches. Barbara King, who lives in

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

Eckington, says reintroducing The dreadful images that shocked

:01:36.:01:45.

the world and changed English football. 96 Liverpool fans died at

:01:45.:01:50.

Hillsborough. As a direct result of the disaster at Sheffield

:01:50.:01:55.

Wednesday's grounds terraces was banned in the top two leagues and

:01:55.:02:05.
:02:05.:02:07.

all seater stands were introduced. It has caused controversy,

:02:07.:02:14.

especially among those who were at Hillsborough,. Football is a family

:02:14.:02:19.

thing. That is how it needs to stay, a family occasion, where we can go

:02:19.:02:25.

out and enjoy a decent football game, and not having to worry about

:02:25.:02:31.

being hurt. It is the football supporters' federation which is

:02:31.:02:36.

pushing terraceing. Standing is allowed in the German league

:02:36.:02:42.

address barriers are installed between rows to stop surges. The

:02:42.:02:46.

FSF is not alone. Don foster is in favour of standing

:02:46.:02:50.

and is trying to get a Bill through Parliament to give clubs the option

:02:50.:02:54.

of bringing it back. What we are proposing is a system whereby you

:02:54.:02:57.

have a safe standing, it means every single person will have a

:02:57.:03:03.

barrier in front of him or her. There'll be a drop-down seat.

:03:03.:03:08.

Barbara met the MP to discuss the issue. She was not convinced by his

:03:08.:03:15.

argument. Don foster is on about passing it on to safety officers to

:03:15.:03:20.

work on it. He has not seen it for himself. They should not pass the

:03:20.:03:24.

buck. I would like to be involved because I was there at Hillsborough

:03:24.:03:29.

when it happened. The Government says it is not supporting the Bill

:03:29.:03:33.

and the prep year league and FA say they are happy with things the way

:03:33.:03:36.

they are. With the parliamentary committee set to debate terraceing

:03:36.:03:42.

next year, the issue is not likely to go away.

:03:42.:03:46.

Martin O'Hara is with us from the Football Supporters' Federation.

:03:47.:03:51.

You are in the Sheffield office, not far from where the awful event

:03:51.:03:55.

happened. Why do you want to stand again? It is not a case of why I

:03:55.:04:01.

want to stand again. At every single football match in the

:04:01.:04:06.

country people are standing. They have been standing for the past 0

:04:06.:04:09.

years. Lord Justice Taylor said we would get used sitting in the seats

:04:09.:04:13.

and enjoy football from there. Unfortunately, that has not

:04:13.:04:18.

happened. People are still continuing to stand all the time.

:04:18.:04:19.

Can you understand why it is such an emotive issue, especially in

:04:19.:04:25.

this part of the world. Trevor Hicks from the Hillsborough

:04:25.:04:30.

Family Support Group says, "there is no case for it. It is a step

:04:30.:04:34.

backwards." What you have to remember is Lord Justice Taylor did

:04:34.:04:40.

not say that standing caused any of the Hillsborough tragedy at all. He

:04:40.:04:44.

focused on policing and poor stadium design and those were the

:04:44.:04:49.

issues for Lord Justice Taylor, not standing. So, we have standing

:04:49.:04:53.

today. We still have it. We have knit the two lower divisions. We

:04:53.:04:57.

don't have it in the upper two divisions, although people do stand.

:04:57.:05:01.

What you have to understand from there is if you look at the safety

:05:01.:05:05.

figures there's no difference between the safety figures produced

:05:05.:05:08.

for standing at a football ground and sitting at a football ground.

:05:08.:05:13.

The FLA and the police accept there is no difference in safety

:05:14.:05:18.

standards whatsoever. The football league and Premier League say all-

:05:19.:05:26.

seating staid ya has made the game a more family-orientated sport. If

:05:26.:05:31.

we had standing would that make it less so? I don't understand that

:05:31.:05:36.

argument either. Nobody is suching we go from all siting to all

:05:36.:05:40.

standing. What we are suggesting is we have standing areas for people

:05:40.:05:45.

who want to stand. Women and children can still sit at football

:05:45.:05:48.

grounds. We don't suggest they have to go into standing areas. If you

:05:48.:05:52.

stand outside any stadium in this country which still has standing

:05:52.:05:55.

areas, you will see women and children entering those standing

:05:55.:05:58.

areas. They are making the choice to go in there any way.

:05:58.:06:02.

We will have to leave it there. Thanks for joining us this evening.

:06:02.:06:06.

As ever, we would like to hear your views. Also tonight, police in

:06:06.:06:12.

Leeds are asking for help from the city's criminals to help track down

:06:12.:06:19.

a gang of thieves who broke into a -- an injured soldier's home.

:06:19.:06:24.

Lee Midgley stepped on a landmine, when he lost both his legs. In

:06:24.:06:28.

January last year Lee Midgley's life changed forever. He stepped on

:06:28.:06:32.

a mine while serving in Afghanistan. He suffered horrific injuries. On

:06:32.:06:36.

Monday, he returned home from a shopping trip with his fiance to

:06:36.:06:42.

find their house had been broken into. DVDs were taken, a camera and

:06:42.:06:45.

sentimental things like pictures from Afghanistan and his military

:06:45.:06:54.

dog tags. It makes me remember who I used to be. I was fit, fit. I

:06:54.:07:00.

could go anywhere and it's been taken. It's put so much stress on

:07:00.:07:09.

me. I have so much any way that's bad and wrong. Police say they

:07:09.:07:12.

believe people in Leeds's criminal community will know who is

:07:12.:07:16.

responsible. They are asking for their help. The answer for this

:07:16.:07:20.

crime lies with them. They should do the right thing and search their

:07:20.:07:24.

conscience. You know who's responsible. You have to soul-

:07:24.:07:29.

search and do the right thing. did I go over and fight for, to

:07:29.:07:34.

come back home and my own people rob and take what, the only thing

:07:34.:07:41.

I've got. It's the only thing I've got. I was a big, strong lad. I

:07:41.:07:46.

used to be able to defend myself. But now I feel vulnerable. I feel

:07:46.:07:51.

like I can't even protect my own girlfriend, which is my world. I

:07:51.:07:57.

love her to bits. I feel I can't even protect her. What can I do?

:07:57.:08:01.

Can't do nothing! That's been took away from me. Now they have come

:08:01.:08:11.
:08:11.:08:12.

and took this away from me. Lee Midgley. It is awful. Let's

:08:12.:08:16.

hope he can get those stolen possessions back. Stay with us. We

:08:17.:08:20.

have more tonight, including fascinating science in Bradford.

:08:20.:08:25.

Come in Amanda. About lutely, lots to see and do

:08:25.:08:30.

here in Bradford, from tantalising your taste buds to the laws of

:08:30.:08:36.

attraction. Join us later from the Festival of Science. Thank you.

:08:36.:08:40.

More news from around Yorkshire. Staff working at two York nurseries

:08:40.:08:43.

which are under investigation say the allegations came out of the

:08:43.:08:49.

blue, and they still don't know what they are. The parents of

:08:49.:08:52.

children at how worth House were given letters by the owner, Lynn

:08:53.:08:56.

Drydal. It said allegations had been made against a number of staff

:08:57.:09:01.

concerning the quality of care and welfare of children. Yorkshire

:09:01.:09:06.

Police and the council say they do not relate to sexual abuse.

:09:06.:09:09.

open is these outstanding investigations, enquiries can be

:09:09.:09:14.

dealt with as soon as possible and we can know what the issues are, so

:09:14.:09:20.

that we can put parents' minds at ease. The authorities have to go

:09:20.:09:23.

through due process, but that creates that period of uncertainty.

:09:23.:09:29.

I think, unfortunately, it creates additional anxiety for Lynn, as

:09:29.:09:39.
:09:39.:09:40.

much as anything, obviously the parents and the staff and the

:09:40.:09:45.

children. There are 243,000 jobless in

:09:45.:09:52.

Yorkshire and the Humber. That is a rise of 6,000. The unemployment

:09:52.:09:58.

rate stands at.1%, the same as this -- 9.1%. The same as this time last

:09:58.:10:05.

year. Vaubg vaubg vaubg says walking the -- Michael Vaughan says

:10:05.:10:11.

walking the Great Wall of China will be a triumph of. He has a

:10:11.:10:18.

dodgy knee, like me. He is rising money for hospital.

:10:18.:10:22.

His own daughter is a patient. have been in Sheffield for 27 years.

:10:22.:10:26.

My wife worked in a hospital. We had our three kids all in this

:10:26.:10:30.

hospital. I have always been close to kids. I have a Cricket Academy

:10:30.:10:33.

in Sheffield as well. I want to make sure that the hospital stays

:10:33.:10:37.

as it has been for the time I've been growing up. The three kids

:10:37.:10:41.

we've had were treated remarkably well. We are very fortunate that

:10:41.:10:45.

all three of our kids have been very healthy. Today we are here

:10:45.:10:49.

because my eldest has had her tonsils out. I've been here all

:10:49.:10:53.

morning. It's been a great hospital in terms of what they gave us. I

:10:53.:10:57.

wanted to give something back. I wanted to choose a charity,

:10:57.:11:01.

particularly when I finish playing and donate time and try and make a

:11:01.:11:04.

difference. You get involved in so many things without really making a

:11:04.:11:08.

difference. I thought I want to help this hospital as much as I can

:11:08.:11:11.

and raise as much awareness, profile and ultimately money to

:11:12.:11:17.

make sure that it stays to the standard it has for many years.

:11:17.:11:21.

�100,000 already in, target �250,000. So it's going well. How

:11:21.:11:26.

is the training then? Training has been walking the dogs every now and

:11:26.:11:30.

again. I have been busy with the cricket, so I'm hoping the knee

:11:30.:11:35.

will stand the wall of China. I have been delighted with everyone's

:11:35.:11:38.

response, particularly around Sheffield. Obviously mates as well,

:11:38.:11:43.

who backed us. There's plenty more money to be raised. If anyone feels

:11:43.:11:49.

they can doate anything, we do appreciate it. The figure is

:11:49.:11:54.

�20250,000. It is a lot of money. We have got to �100,000. Hopefully

:11:54.:12:00.

we can get there in the next few weeks. How is your little girl?

:12:00.:12:03.

has some ice cream. It is a healer for the tonsils out. She is up and

:12:03.:12:07.

around. They do a great job here. They looked after her. When I had

:12:07.:12:11.

my tonsils out many years ago I can't remember laughing before the

:12:11.:12:14.

operation. They managed to make her laugh before she went in.

:12:14.:12:22.

Thanks. Thanks. Bless him! Honestly a good

:12:22.:12:28.

cause. Sheffield children's hospital, great wall of hospital.

:12:28.:12:36.

A round up of last night's football action, including the Yorkshire

:12:36.:12:38.

Derby where Huddersfield Town came out winners.

:12:38.:12:45.

The David Hockney portraits, part of his latest exhibition in

:12:45.:12:52.

Saltaire. I love David Hockney. I can't wait

:12:53.:12:58.

for that shall we stay in Bradford? The week of scientific debates has

:12:58.:13:01.

been continuing today at the British Science Festival, where

:13:01.:13:11.
:13:11.:13:15.

Now me and you are going to be guinea pigs ago -- again. It's all

:13:15.:13:25.
:13:25.:13:27.

about the science of the senses. What is it supposed to taste like?

:13:27.:13:36.

It depends on your genetic make-up. What does it taste like? Anything?

:13:36.:13:43.

I think it tastes a bit like an aspirin. What do you think? It is a

:13:43.:13:53.
:13:53.:13:54.

bit like that. It's bouquet. What does that make me? I'm not entirely

:13:54.:14:02.

sure! It is amazing how much information you can glean from a

:14:02.:14:06.

little piece of paper like this. There is a man here who can tell me

:14:06.:14:12.

all about the signs of taste. Our presenters in the studio tonight

:14:12.:14:17.

said they could taste aspirin, what does that mean? How well you can

:14:17.:14:27.

taste is genetically determined to a large extent. There is a chemical,

:14:27.:14:31.

if you get a mild bitter taste from it, it means you have one copy of

:14:31.:14:37.

this gene, which is the same with the majority of the population.

:14:38.:14:44.

Normal taste, I'm afraid. Before we go any further, I have to ask you

:14:44.:14:49.

about your make-up. What exactly is it? This is to explain how the

:14:50.:14:59.

sense of taste works. They have been testing the basic tastes. But

:14:59.:15:08.

for every other flavour that you know, you need your nose as well.

:15:08.:15:18.

You get an air movement to your nose -- nasal cavity. We must move

:15:18.:15:25.

on because this doctor is going to tell us all about the laws of

:15:25.:15:29.

attraction. Yes, there are various traits that come up again enter

:15:29.:15:38.

again. Things like facial symmetry, masculinity or femininity. There is

:15:38.:15:43.

lots to see and do here. This is a little experiment which you can

:15:43.:15:48.

take part in this evening if you come along. I can have my picture

:15:48.:15:56.

taken just like that... Cheese! Any minute now, something hideous will

:15:56.:16:04.

happen. One minute, a radiant beauty, and the next, the face of a

:16:04.:16:09.

chimp! Unbelievable! Come and try it yourself if you're brave enough.

:16:09.:16:19.
:16:19.:16:21.

It goes on till 10pm this evening. Apparently, your average. Thank you

:16:21.:16:29.

is so much! I think the laws of attraction is the man with a husky

:16:29.:16:39.
:16:39.:16:41.

voice! I think he has been charting. -- shouting. I am told it is a

:16:41.:16:51.
:16:51.:17:00.

severe case of man through. -- flu. Our Championship teams had the

:17:00.:17:03.

night off, leagues one and two produced some important results

:17:03.:17:05.

last night. But our two big Sheffield clubs are probably

:17:05.:17:10.

wishing they hadn't bothered now. Such a one-sided derby. The triumph

:17:10.:17:20.
:17:20.:17:24.

was very much on town's side. Early chances went on taken. Sheer muscle

:17:24.:17:29.

power made it three-L the Huddersfield before half-time. A

:17:29.:17:39.
:17:39.:17:47.

score the second half but the town's first away win. It became

:17:47.:17:57.

five-nil to Stevenage before some pride was restored. By contrast,

:17:57.:18:02.

the lookout for Chesterfield fans with the spring in their step after

:18:02.:18:12.
:18:12.:18:19.

his second win. -- a second wind. A late free-kick brought in the

:18:19.:18:29.
:18:29.:18:29.

equaliser and Rotherham's single point keeps them in place.

:18:29.:18:37.

Equalisers through terrific strikes. The home side grabbed the call

:18:37.:18:44.

winner, leaving Bradford 22nd in the league table. In Rugby League,

:18:44.:18:48.

it's less than a week since his last game in charge of Wakefield

:18:48.:18:51.

Wildcats and John Kear has already found a new job. He was introduced

:18:51.:18:54.

this morning as the new coach of Championship side Batley Bulldogs.

:18:54.:18:58.

It's Kear's first part-time job in more than 20 years and he says it's

:18:58.:19:01.

a new challenge that will also give him more time for life outside of

:19:01.:19:09.

Rugby League. I wanted to coach because I love coaching. This

:19:09.:19:15.

allows me to do that and also explore different avenues. It is a

:19:15.:19:22.

full-time demand, I can have a look round and see what is out in the

:19:22.:19:32.
:19:32.:19:33.

world. Now motorsport, and in trials riding, this weekend it's

:19:33.:19:36.

the world team championships in in Italy. And for the first time in

:19:36.:19:39.

history, the Great Britain team, from manager through to all four

:19:39.:19:41.

riders, are Yorkshiremen. This is the Great Britain trials team who

:19:42.:19:45.

are set to take on the World This weekend. For the first time in the

:19:45.:19:49.

history of the team competition, all four riders and even the

:19:50.:19:53.

manager of from Yorkshire, representing Selston, Leeds and

:19:53.:20:00.

Scarborough. Trials riding is not a motor sport associated with speed.

:20:00.:20:03.

This sport demands balance, technique and control to navigate

:20:03.:20:11.

the bike over challenging obstacles without putting a foot wrong.

:20:11.:20:21.
:20:21.:20:23.

you ride over obstacles and you don't put feet down, but if you put

:20:23.:20:29.

them down you are out. The trial has not been won by the GB team

:20:29.:20:34.

since 2003, so how do they rate their chances in Italy this

:20:34.:20:43.

weekend? It is a special event. Representing Great Britain is a

:20:43.:20:51.

special opportunity. I've had a very successful career, I'm still

:20:51.:20:59.

very motivated to win the event and be part of the team. I'm ready to

:20:59.:21:04.

lead another winter my list. thing that the Great Britain team

:21:04.:21:08.

has that is unique is that we get on really well together.

:21:08.:21:12.

represent Great Britain and be from Yorkshire, all of us, it is

:21:12.:21:18.

something to be proud of. The team of four who trained together on a

:21:18.:21:23.

regular basis are headed by legend of the sport. Great Britain's first

:21:23.:21:28.

ever trials champion. It is a fantastic achievement for the whole

:21:28.:21:36.

team. All of these riders have won championships, European and world.

:21:36.:21:40.

They are a great bunch of lads, really determined. We will do

:21:40.:21:45.

really well this weekend. Let's hope they it Yorkshire grip see

:21:45.:21:55.
:21:55.:21:56.

some return with the world title. - - they Yorkshire grit. I don't want

:21:56.:22:01.

to appear smug, but Harry and I have been doing a bit of a Twitter

:22:01.:22:05.

campaign and it has happened. Congratulations to John the best

:22:05.:22:15.
:22:15.:22:16.

two has had his first full England call up. -- Johnny Best. Thank you

:22:16.:22:26.
:22:26.:22:33.

very much. I think it is time to move on. We always love a new work

:22:33.:22:37.

by a David Hockney. He has been controversial in his time. I love

:22:37.:22:45.

this one as well. Yes, his latest creation is in a garret at his

:22:45.:22:55.

beloved Salts Mill in Saltaire. -- in a gallery. A off the back of a

:22:55.:23:00.

lorry and out of a tube. Not a glamourous arrival for work by a

:23:00.:23:04.

Bradford born David Hockney. Salts Mill took delivery of the pictures

:23:04.:23:08.

last week. They measured 27 ft in length and show at a stretch of

:23:08.:23:14.

road in Bridlington through the changing seasons. David is

:23:14.:23:21.

celebrating what a lot of us feel would time. -- a lot of us feet all

:23:21.:23:31.
:23:31.:23:33.

the time. -- see. When David Hockney discovered that work when

:23:33.:23:38.

we did -- digging up this road, he invited them round for a cup of tea

:23:38.:23:42.

to persuade them that it was really important to put the road back just

:23:42.:23:52.
:23:52.:24:02.

He just sees things so perfectly. His eyes, in his painting and his

:24:02.:24:07.
