:00:05. > :00:08.Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the programme tonight:
:00:08. > :00:11.A liar, cheat and murderer. The music teacher facing a life
:00:11. > :00:13.sentence for killing his fiancee and hiding her body in a suitcase
:00:13. > :00:15.in his garage. We'll be live at Bradford Crown
:00:15. > :00:18.Court and in Holmfirth, where the murder took place.
:00:18. > :00:21.Also tonight: Unemployment increases by up to 30%
:00:21. > :00:27.in parts of Yorkshire. We will be putting Deputy Prime Minister Nick
:00:27. > :00:29.Clegg on the spot. Living the high life. A lone
:00:29. > :00:39.protester scuppers plans to cut down an historic tree near
:00:39. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:45.And when it comes to football rivalries, they do not come much
:00:45. > :00:49.more fierce than Leeds diocese Manchester United. We are live at
:00:49. > :00:57.Elland Road. And it has been a dreary day to day
:00:57. > :01:02.but there is more brightness to come tomorrow.
:01:02. > :01:05.Good evening and welcome to Look North.
:01:05. > :01:09.It took just one hour for a jury to find the music teacher Andrew Lindo
:01:09. > :01:12.guilty of the murder of his fiancee Maria Stewart at their home in
:01:12. > :01:17.Holmfirth in West Yorkshire. He strangled her and put her body in a
:01:17. > :01:20.suitcase, which he stored in their garage.
:01:20. > :01:23.Lindo, who is 29, claimed he had lost control under provocation but
:01:23. > :01:26.the jury at Bradford Crown Court quickly dismissed the claim. In a
:01:26. > :01:34.moment, we will be crossing live to Tom Ingall in Holmfirth, But first,
:01:34. > :01:38.our crime correspondent John Cundy is outside Bradford Crown Court.
:01:38. > :01:43.This is just about the quickest verdict I have ever known and jury
:01:43. > :01:48.to return in a murder trial, just one hour. They quickly saw through
:01:48. > :01:52.his story that he had been acting under duress, under stress, that he
:01:52. > :01:57.had been provoked when his life was in a complete mess last year and
:01:57. > :02:01.that he was only guilty of manslaughter. The jury decided that
:02:01. > :02:10.he was a philanderer that simply wanted my three Stuart out of his
:02:10. > :02:16.life, to make way for affairs with other women. The Liah Andrew Lindo
:02:17. > :02:22.who claimed he killed his fiancee because he claimed she was
:02:22. > :02:27.mistreating his children. But she was said to be very much in love
:02:27. > :02:32.with one ball, the happiest she had ever been, until the relationship
:02:32. > :02:36.turned sour. He had been dating a string of other woman. He is said
:02:36. > :02:42.to have killed her to get her out of the way. She was strangled and
:02:42. > :02:48.battered, and stabbed at least 12 times with an eye. Her body was
:02:48. > :02:53.stashed in a suitcase and left in a garage at the house for seven weeks.
:02:53. > :02:59.During that time, Andrew Lindo had his children there and his lover
:02:59. > :03:06.also. It took the jury just one hour to reach their unanimous
:03:06. > :03:09.verdict. Andrew Lindo, guilty of murdering his fiancee. They
:03:09. > :03:15.rejected his claim that he had killed or for provocation and
:03:15. > :03:20.emotional stress caused by their unhappy relationship. The victim's
:03:20. > :03:25.family, including her sister and her father, left court without
:03:25. > :03:32.comment. Tomorrow, Andrew Lindo will be sentenced. That judge must
:03:32. > :03:35.decide the minimum he will spend in jail.
:03:35. > :03:39.The couple lived in a quiet street in Holmfirth. Our reporter Tom
:03:39. > :03:46.Ingall is there. Tom, what has the reaction been to the verdict?
:03:46. > :03:50.I think it we had to sum up the mood here in one word, it would be
:03:50. > :03:55.simply relief. But this has been a long-running story for them. They
:03:55. > :04:00.have been not been dealing with this since February, but rather
:04:00. > :04:04.since before Christmas, when she first disappear. This is a small
:04:04. > :04:12.community. Since then, there have been so many questions and many
:04:12. > :04:16.more lives from Andrew Lindo. He used a mobile phone and to her face
:04:16. > :04:20.did page 2 tried to make her family believe that she was still alive.
:04:20. > :04:24.He told people that she suffered from post-natal depression and that
:04:24. > :04:32.she had run off with another man. But one neighbour said today that
:04:32. > :04:38.she had doted on the two children. They said that even after she
:04:38. > :04:48.apparently vanished, Andrew Lindo's mood did not change. It is just
:04:48. > :04:48.
:04:48. > :04:54.heartbreaking. It just do not know why he would do something like that.
:04:54. > :04:59.They were at a happy family. Andrew certainly was not unhappy, he was
:04:59. > :05:05.happy every day you saw him. They had the good life, at two children,
:05:05. > :05:12.jobs. They were happy. It just does not make sense. It is shocking. It
:05:12. > :05:17.is awful. This is not quite the end of the story, because Andrew Lindo
:05:18. > :05:23.will be back in court tomorrow to be sentenced. After that, perhaps
:05:23. > :05:26.that minty here will move on. It is unlikely that they will forget.
:05:26. > :05:32.Parts of Yorkshire are emerging as unemployment blackspots, according
:05:33. > :05:35.to a new report written for MPs. The figures show some startling
:05:35. > :05:41.increases in the number of people claiming Job Seekers' Allowance,
:05:42. > :05:46.especially in Bradford, as Alan Whitehouse reports.
:05:46. > :05:52.All in a day's work. These newly recruited apprenticeship --
:05:52. > :05:56.apprentices are grateful for it. The promise of a full-time job if
:05:56. > :06:01.they come up to scratch. In today's employment market, it is more than
:06:01. > :06:06.the could hope for. It is like gold dust. You get the work and the
:06:06. > :06:09.education. That is one of the best companies. I was so happy when I
:06:09. > :06:16.found out, otherwise I would still be looking out for an
:06:16. > :06:23.apprenticeship. But thousands of others have not been so lucky.
:06:23. > :06:30.Murder. There is just nothing out there. I am going back and forth,
:06:30. > :06:35.interviews, filling in applications, sending them. The figures tell
:06:35. > :06:41.their own story. Nationally, the people -- the number of people
:06:41. > :06:48.claiming Jobseeker's Allowance has come up by 8%. In Yorkshire, it is
:06:48. > :06:58.10%. When you look at the hot spots, there are some disturbing trend.
:06:58. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:04.Bradford East is at 21%. Rotherham has 19%. A few places are
:07:04. > :07:12.weathering the storm. York's Central has seen the total
:07:12. > :07:17.claimants fall by 4%. But that is a very central. 80% of the new jobs
:07:17. > :07:22.created were in the public sector. It was unsustainable and resulted
:07:22. > :07:25.in her national deficit and until we get that under control, we
:07:25. > :07:33.cannot grow the private sector. There are just six of these
:07:33. > :07:37.apprentice ships -- attentions available every year. There are
:07:37. > :07:42.over 100 applications for each post available. It would take thousands
:07:42. > :07:44.of schemes like this even to make a dent in Yorkshire's unemployment
:07:44. > :07:46.problem. So what's the Government going to
:07:46. > :07:50.do for people in these unemployment blackspots?
:07:50. > :07:58.We had the chance to ask the Deputy Prime Minister just that at the
:07:58. > :08:03.Liberal Democrat Conference in Birmingham. Here's what the
:08:03. > :08:08.Sheffield Hallam MP, had to say to our political editor, Len Tingle.
:08:08. > :08:15.There are a number of things we can do. We can get the bank's lending
:08:15. > :08:20.more money, so they are investing in jobs. We can invest in other
:08:20. > :08:26.things as a government. These are all things we are already doing,
:08:26. > :08:29.but Isis -- I accept that we must do more. But there are certain
:08:29. > :08:34.projects that the previous government put in place that you as
:08:34. > :08:37.a government have stopped. solution to our problems is not
:08:37. > :08:42.Labour prescription of simply racking up more debt, because, at
:08:42. > :08:45.the end of the day, you are asking our children added grandeur and to
:08:45. > :08:54.pay off our national credit card bill. There is nothing fair about
:08:54. > :09:02.that. You have jumped on the at Conservative bandwagon that has not
:09:02. > :09:10.worked, what makes you think that this is the way to go off Jim we're
:09:10. > :09:14.doing things differently. I visited a number of locations and I think
:09:14. > :09:19.they look very promising. New businesses were set-up. Hundreds of
:09:19. > :09:28.thousands of jobs will be -- hundreds, if not thousands of jobs
:09:29. > :09:33.will be set up. We had the regional growth fund. All of these things,
:09:33. > :09:39.not only create jobs today but create a better future tomorrow.
:09:39. > :09:47.Six months ago, due were running Sheffield and York. You have lost
:09:47. > :09:53.all of that. I think in politics, the Co-op and then you go down. I
:09:53. > :10:02.have lost count of the number of times people have predicted our
:10:02. > :10:06.demise. Will be will bounce back. - - we will bounce back. We're doing
:10:06. > :10:09.these things because we believe it is in the long term benefit of her
:10:09. > :10:13.region and their country. Later in the programme:
:10:13. > :10:17.We've got the rhyme and the reasons for the final stages of a TV
:10:17. > :10:21.revolution. Stay tuned because later on, me and
:10:21. > :10:31.my friend will be telling you about the digital switch-over. Will want
:10:31. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:45.It is going to be dreadful. I am technically stupid.
:10:45. > :10:49.A 100-year-old tree, destined for the chop, has survived another day
:10:49. > :10:52.thanks to a protester who is camped out in its branches.
:10:52. > :11:02.The old beech tree in Irton near Scarborough has been the centre of
:11:02. > :11:04.
:11:04. > :11:07.controversy for the past five years. The escalating dispute has already
:11:07. > :11:10.cost the taxpayer in excess of �250,000 in legal fees and, despite
:11:10. > :11:14.a judge's ruling to get rid of it, the protesters fight on. Michelle
:11:14. > :11:18.Lyons has spent the day with them. Are you here for the night?
:11:18. > :11:23.least, yes. Until there are as many people that want the tree cutting
:11:23. > :11:30.down as there are that wanted left up. How will you make yourself
:11:30. > :11:37.comfortable this evening? We have a hammock arriving later on. I will
:11:37. > :11:41.bed down with that and a hot water bottle. And start again tomorrow?
:11:41. > :11:47.Yes, same again. The fighting talk from a man who has spent the last
:11:47. > :11:57.eight hours up a tree and plans to spend the night. He arrived this
:11:57. > :12:01.
:12:01. > :12:04.morning in support of resident for' campaign. I believe that every 10
:12:05. > :12:09.hold on for a few more days, because the tree should not come
:12:09. > :12:15.down until the end of September, then we might have a further chance
:12:15. > :12:20.to say that. The tree has caused a lot of on rest in the village in
:12:20. > :12:24.recent years. At the residence in the neighbouring property claimed
:12:24. > :12:32.that the writs were damaging his property. It was decided to remove
:12:32. > :12:39.it, not realising the opera it would cost -- the uproar it would
:12:39. > :12:44.cause. Contractors were stopped in their tracks when the arrive today.
:12:44. > :12:48.We appreciate that you have put a protest up and you have gone up
:12:48. > :12:52.there. I am asking you if you'd like to come down now as you have
:12:52. > :12:57.major statement. Protesters say they will watch over the tree
:12:57. > :13:00.tonight and will be ready for the contractors when they return. North
:13:00. > :13:06.Yorkshire county council says it is working with the police to resolve
:13:06. > :13:15.the situation. In the meantime, the old trio gets to live another day,
:13:15. > :13:18.much to the relief of those that We will keep you up-to-date with
:13:18. > :13:20.that situation. In other news, a 15 year-old boy
:13:20. > :13:24.has been sentenced for posting a message on Facebook suggesting that
:13:24. > :13:27.there should be a riot in Wakefield. The teenager was given a 12 month
:13:27. > :13:30.Youth Rehabilitation Order and a 10 week curfew for the message, which
:13:30. > :13:31.he posted last month at the height of violent disturbances around the

:13:34. > :13:41.with minor injuries after a lorry containing thousands of chickens
:13:42. > :13:44.fell onto their car on the A64 near York. This incredible picture shows
:13:44. > :13:49.the extent of the crash, which happened near the Hopgrove
:13:49. > :13:52.roundabout yesterday morning. The two women, who were travelling in a
:13:52. > :14:00.Peugeot 106, and the lorry driver, were taken to hospital and treated
:14:00. > :14:03.for minor injuries. Extraordinary.
:14:03. > :14:06.It is nearly twice the size of Blackpool Tower and can be seen
:14:06. > :14:13.from all over Yorkshire. Tonight, one of our most recognisable
:14:14. > :14:20.landmarks will change forever. The Emley Moor transmitter will be the
:14:20. > :14:23.last in our region to go fully digital. It will still look the
:14:24. > :14:30.same, but the signals it sends out will be very different. Ian White
:14:30. > :14:35.reports. It is the Yorkshire landmark that
:14:35. > :14:45.has brought to your TV pictures for more than 40 years. This is
:14:45. > :14:48.Yorkshire Television. Broadcasting from Emley Moor. At midnight,
:14:48. > :14:54.broadcasting history will be made as the analogue signal is switched
:14:54. > :14:57.off for the last time to make way for digital. I will throw the spade
:14:57. > :15:01.switch and that will be the end of analogue television in Yorkshire.
:15:01. > :15:06.What happens in this room is these which the new digital transmitters
:15:06. > :15:09.on, so around the in the morning, these transmitters will be switched
:15:10. > :15:14.on and we will have digital television. -- around three in the
:15:14. > :15:19.morning. So, you will need to retune your digital receivers. You
:15:19. > :15:23.can do that by restoring them to their factory settings.
:15:23. > :15:26.If you are confused, there is help at hand, either from Digital UK, or
:15:26. > :15:28.if you are over 75, registered blind or partially sighted or are

:18:15. > :18:19.I think it is a big deal, if you talk in terms of sheer finance. Not
:18:19. > :18:28.least because the Leeds United board are opening for the first

:18:55. > :18:59.behind this it side. Letters of the resort of respect between these two
:18:59. > :19:04.teams, because whatever they feel about each other, it does not get
:19:04. > :19:10.any more injured than this traditional rivalry. -- any more
:19:10. > :19:18.ancient. Manchester United playing in white shorts kicking off against
:19:18. > :19:23.Leeds, and the betting says it is odds-on for United., it is not
:19:23. > :19:27.strictly speaking a derby match, but the two famous United's share a
:19:27. > :19:32.lifelong rivalry that is always much more than football.
:19:32. > :19:38.stretches way back to before the arrival of other television. In the
:19:38. > :19:48.late 1960s and 1970s, Manchester's shiny European crown was often
:19:48. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:58.smudged by Billy Branagh. -- Billy Branagh. And most recently, in 20th
:19:58. > :20:05.January 10, Jermaine Beckford's FA Cup third-round winner for Leeds
:20:05. > :20:08.can still reduce grown men to tears of pride. In most cases, anyway.
:20:08. > :20:12.But tensions have spilled over on occasions, especially back in the
:20:12. > :20:17.dark days when all clubs were played by a hooligan element. In
:20:17. > :20:22.more recent times, it has been more about banter. Did Eric Cantona play
:20:22. > :20:27.his best football in a white or red shirt? He is revered by both sets
:20:27. > :20:30.of fans and maybe that is the problem. Leeds and Manchester are
:20:30. > :20:34.probably -- have probably got more in common than you will ever get
:20:35. > :20:38.them to admit. It will be a full house here. Playing against the
:20:38. > :20:43.biggest club in the country. It is a great game to be involved in. We
:20:43. > :20:48.will just look forward to it and take what comes. More precisely,
:20:48. > :20:54.what is coming to Leeds tonight is Ryan Giggs and his mates. Not for
:20:54. > :20:58.the first time in history at Elland Road for a League Cup tie. But
:20:58. > :21:01.however the 9th of the players' shorts, hair and fashion choices
:21:01. > :21:07.have changed, Leeds against Manchester United has and always
:21:08. > :21:12.will be an event worth being at. I had to tell you that I am now
:21:12. > :21:16.before kick-off now, there is a simmering tension between the two
:21:16. > :21:21.sets of fans data gathering here. But the younger fans we spoke to
:21:21. > :21:24.her there were looking forward to the match itself. Leeds and
:21:24. > :21:30.Manchester United do not really like each other, the fans hate each
:21:30. > :21:38.other. It will be a good match, there is a lot of history. Biggest
:21:38. > :21:42.win ever for us, it may not be for them but it is for us. They are a
:21:42. > :21:47.brand, while Leeds United is a team. They still have proper supporters.
:21:47. > :21:50.Manchester United is something other than that. I think it is high
:21:50. > :21:55.time we discussed prospects on the field and one man who knows a lot
:21:55. > :22:01.more about Leeds United Dan Kneen is our guest, Richard Sutcliffe of
:22:01. > :22:06.the Yorkshire Post. How significant is the Match in the context of what
:22:06. > :22:09.Leeds want to achieve? In terms of this evening, probably not as big
:22:09. > :22:13.as Britain on Friday night. A try to tell that to all the fans
:22:13. > :22:18.tonight. This game means everything. But it will be forgotten if Leeds
:22:18. > :22:24.do not get promotion. Beating Manchester United in 2010 nearly
:22:24. > :22:27.cost the club promotion. I still think, if you ask in a Leeds fan
:22:27. > :22:35.tonight if they want to win tonight then lose on Friday or lose tonight
:22:35. > :22:40.and take three points of Britain, most would say when tonight. Will
:22:40. > :22:44.the Leeds manager rest some of his key players? He might rest a couple,
:22:44. > :22:52.but he said the fans want to win this game so much, he will not rest
:22:52. > :22:57.so many -- to many. You were at old Trafford last time these two teams
:22:57. > :23:03.met. They say lightning does not strike twice. You have a look at
:23:03. > :23:09.the team Manchester United have and you fancy it their chances. We will
:23:09. > :23:14.have all the action for you on Look North tonight.
:23:14. > :23:17.We will be here. We are all very proud of our many splendid
:23:17. > :23:20.buildings that the happy in Yorkshire and be a happy for
:23:20. > :23:24.everybody else to Trombert them as well. But they were surprised to
:23:24. > :23:27.discover that one hotel chain is using on their e-mails to welcome
:23:27. > :23:37.guests to Leeds, Danny Carpenter explains.
:23:37. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:51.Leeds Castle, in Kent! As everybody, it seems, knows. Leeds Castle is
:23:51. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :23:59.intent. Leeds Castle, in Kent. Kent. Not Leeds? Not Leeds. Is that
:23:59. > :24:04.Kent castle Leeds Castle? Leeds Castle, Kent? Alun Road football
:24:04. > :24:08.ground, the Corn Exchange, the town hall. All can be seen in a day out
:24:08. > :24:15.in Leeds. But Leeds Castle would be something of a challenge. Could you
:24:15. > :24:23.take me there? Not today, I have a Friday night car! But the driver
:24:23. > :24:33.behind, he is available. I that is 240 miles. How much is that?
:24:33. > :24:37.are talking about �320. �320 to go from Leeds to Leeds Castle? It is
:24:38. > :24:42.243 miles, to be exact. Half the length of the country. The company
:24:42. > :24:52.that owns the hotel admit they have made a bit of a mistake. But what
:24:52. > :24:58.
:24:58. > :25:03.do you expect? They are in France! Is that summering Jorja? --
:25:03. > :25:11.somewhere in Yorkshire. People must have thought they were getting a
:25:11. > :25:16.bargain at �29 per night. You would never pay �29 per night. Far too
:25:16. > :25:26.expensive. Here are some pictures that have come in. That is Dewsbury
:25:26. > :25:30.
:25:30. > :25:36.will stop -- that his Dewsbury. Look at that blue-sky. Lisa says,
:25:36. > :25:46.as forecast. Thank you, Lisa. This was taken at Robin Hood near
:25:46. > :25:49.
:25:49. > :25:53.Thankfully, tomorrow looks rather brighter with some sunshine. That
:25:53. > :25:58.said, there is a weather front that could introduce some showers later
:25:58. > :26:03.in the day across North and perhaps West Yorkshire. Before that, it
:26:03. > :26:11.should be a good deal brighter. We have had problems with this weather
:26:11. > :26:18.front. A broad band of Clare Wood. Not much brain is this afternoon. -
:26:18. > :26:23.- a broad band of cloud. Some drizzle further north. Overnight,
:26:23. > :26:30.will eventually cleared away. It could be fairly cold across North
:26:30. > :26:39.Yorkshire with temperatures down to 7 or eight Celsius. The sun will
:26:39. > :26:43.rise in the morning at 6.50, setting at 7.08. Tomorrow morning
:26:43. > :26:47.will be much brighter, some sunshine around, the risk of one or
:26:47. > :26:51.two showers coming into the Yorkshire Dales, catching one of
:26:51. > :26:56.those elsewhere, it should be basically dry, just the odd shower
:26:56. > :26:59.in the West. Later in the afternoon, the week weather front could bring
:26:59. > :27:05.showers into north and then West Yorkshire. But much of tomorrow
:27:05. > :27:14.should be OK. The best of the weather should be across South
:27:14. > :27:17.Yorkshire. Temperatures 17 in Scarborough. 17 in Leeds. Doncaster,
:27:18. > :27:22.17 or 18 possible across that eastern part of the country of
:27:22. > :27:26.South Yorkshire. Looking further ahead, a lot of cloud on Thursday,
:27:26. > :27:29.the odd spot of drizzle. Friday not the odd spot of drizzle. Friday not
:27:29. > :27:35.looking too bad. That weekend looks and settled.
