:02:58. > :03:00.
:03:00. > :03:05.accident is under way. A mother has taken the unusual step
:03:05. > :03:09.of taking her four children out-of- school over fears they are being
:03:09. > :03:15.bullied. Stacey Winfindale says her eldest son has been targeted again
:03:15. > :03:20.after he was awarded compensation for an earlier assault. His brother
:03:20. > :03:24.and sisters are now being abused. Stacey is teaching them at home and
:03:24. > :03:33.says they will not go back to warm until they are safe. The schools
:03:33. > :03:39.involved deny there is a problem. It might appear an extreme case of
:03:39. > :03:49.home schooling. Stacey Winfindale feels she has no alternative. She
:03:49. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:57.has taken her children out of school. The kids are going to
:03:57. > :04:07.school and they're so downhearted because they do not want -- know
:04:07. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:15.what to expect when they get there. My son's first incident was 12
:04:15. > :04:20.months ago. He was injured when he was attacked by another pupil. The
:04:20. > :04:29.family say the abuse has continued and now and done a daughter is
:04:29. > :04:34.being at it abuse. I have been shouted at. This is
:04:34. > :04:38.where the children went to school. It is also or where he was
:04:39. > :04:42.assaulted last year. The academy has said they have clear policies
:04:42. > :04:50.in place to deal with these instances and they have been in
:04:50. > :05:00.regular contact with his family. They say there has been two
:05:00. > :05:02.
:05:02. > :05:08.allegations. The other two children have been taken out of the Junior
:05:08. > :05:16.and infants school. We're trying to get a five-year-old through the
:05:16. > :05:20.school gates into school and we are met with verbal abuse. Rotherham
:05:20. > :05:24.council say they have not received an official complaint about those
:05:24. > :05:31.allegations. Stacey says the situation needs to change and she
:05:31. > :05:41.will continue to teach the children from home until it does.
:05:41. > :05:41.
:05:41. > :05:47.We're joined by a representative of a teachers' union. You have not
:05:47. > :05:54.been directly involved but you are involved in similar cases. There
:05:54. > :06:04.must be absolute rules laid down for a these cases? That is right.
:06:04. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:12.All schools are obliged to have an anti-bullying policy. All teachers
:06:12. > :06:20.in school take any allegations of bullying seriously and will
:06:20. > :06:30.investigate it. Any allegation has to be investigated for the evidence
:06:30. > :06:40.behind it. Of those allegations turn out to be founded, is it usual
:06:40. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:46.for people to go back to the school? It is important to identify
:06:46. > :06:52.the precise circumstances around the individual case. The priority
:06:52. > :07:02.would be to protect the victim of bullying but also to identify the
:07:02. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :07:12.Boulez and correct the behaviour. That would be monitored carefully.
:07:12. > :07:17.It is tough for a patient -- parent whether to report it? It seems that
:07:17. > :07:22.bullying can get worse after a report. Any secondary believing
:07:22. > :07:29.needs to be subject to investigation as well and if it
:07:29. > :07:33.involves the wider community, the police must be engaged. It is
:07:33. > :07:38.difficult for a parent to make a complaint but important that they
:07:38. > :07:43.do and that they nor the complaint will be followed up. You talk about
:07:43. > :07:49.secondary bullying. Another secondary bullying is that this
:07:50. > :07:54.parent feels her younger children are also at risk. Should there be
:07:55. > :08:00.communication between senior and junior schools? That is tricky
:08:00. > :08:06.because whilst the evidence is there after-school, the transparent
:08:07. > :08:14.data is very sensitive. If it was clear that there was systematic
:08:14. > :08:18.bullying, it would be appropriate to contact the school and make sure
:08:18. > :08:25.the individual was not being bullied as a result of a previous
:08:25. > :08:35.case. I repeat, everything needs to be evidence based. If the school
:08:35. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:49.does not find evidence, there is little they can do at that stage.
:08:49. > :08:52.Apart from talking to Ernie Wise's widow, we will have lots of other
:08:52. > :08:58.things. The inspiration for the latest
:08:58. > :09:08.exhibition at the Hepworth. The Yorkshire landscape takes centre
:09:08. > :09:09.
:09:09. > :09:14.stage. Police in Surrey have been given
:09:14. > :09:19.another 36 hours to question a man suspected of murdering his partner
:09:19. > :09:29.who is a policeman. Her body was found in woodland in West Sussex on
:09:29. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:36.Sunday. We're still waiting for a formal
:09:36. > :09:42.identification but locally, the victim has been named as Heather
:09:42. > :09:47.Cooper. Police were called to her home in search some woodlands
:09:47. > :09:53.nearby and they found the body. A post-mortem was due this afternoon
:09:53. > :10:01.but we have not had the results. The police say and 35-year-old man
:10:01. > :10:05.is in custody. They have been given 36 hours to question him. That
:10:05. > :10:11.investigation is still ongoing. What do we know all about this
:10:11. > :10:21.woman? At we believe Heather Cooper was from Yorkshire and her parents
:10:21. > :10:26.
:10:26. > :10:33.live in your work. -- your work. We were told she had a baby just a few
:10:34. > :10:41.months ago. Her friends were leaving flowers that the house.
:10:42. > :10:51.Many were too upset to talk. Neighbours are all very shocked by
:10:52. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:01.what has happened. She seemed a nice lady. The police have been
:11:01. > :11:10.given more time to question a man who is in custody. We are appealing
:11:10. > :11:18.for more information. Yes. Forensic teams have been at the house today.
:11:18. > :11:27.They are keen for anyone who lives locally if they saw a silver BMW
:11:27. > :11:37.being moved between 11 and the morning and evening. They say that
:11:37. > :11:41.could prove vital to this inquiry. A 15-year-old boy who was injured
:11:41. > :11:46.and an attack in York last month has been discharged from hospital.
:11:46. > :11:50.The 15-year-old was assaulted near the entrance to the racecourse. Two
:11:50. > :11:56.teenagers are on bail in relation to the attack. Police want to hear
:11:56. > :11:59.from anyone who saw what happened. Three young men wanted police
:11:59. > :12:04.wanted to speak to about a barn fire in which a two-year-old girl
:12:04. > :12:14.died have come for word. They were photographed near Hessle Farm near
:12:14. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :12:20.Wragby while the barn was burning. The Independent Police Complaints
:12:20. > :12:26.Commission will look into port possible conduct after the collapse
:12:26. > :12:31.of a murder trial. The case against six men was thrown out last year.
:12:31. > :12:35.The judge criticised the police for not disclosing evidence.
:12:35. > :12:45.A month-long exhibition celebrating Black History Month has opened in
:12:45. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:53.Sheffield. The event includes photos of Frank Bruno. Admission is
:12:53. > :13:00.free. I want to inspire younger people to
:13:00. > :13:10.break out of their situation. There are more opportunities now than
:13:10. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:31.there ever was. Or, Luc! It is not just us feeling the economic pinch.
:13:31. > :13:33.
:13:34. > :13:38.Some creatures need new homes after Artis pet sanctuary in Balby will
:13:38. > :13:41.be forced to close at the end of the month because donations from
:13:41. > :13:48.the public have dried up. It seems they are the latest
:13:48. > :13:52.victims of the struggling economy. At the moment they live at Artis
:13:52. > :13:57.pet sanctuary in Doncaster but the charity has run out of money. Now
:13:57. > :14:02.around 60 animals still need new homes. But many of them are so
:14:02. > :14:07.unusual that they are not wanted. Some of them have been here for a
:14:07. > :14:11.long time because they get overlooked. They are bought as the
:14:11. > :14:18.children's pets and a few months down the line they get fed up with
:14:18. > :14:22.them and they end up back with the rescue places. These are children's
:14:22. > :14:30.pets but unfortunately children are not the best ones to have pets, not
:14:30. > :14:33.unless they have got the full backing of parents. Vicky will be
:14:33. > :14:39.keeping some of the animals because she knows they will never find new
:14:39. > :14:43.homes. Take this bird, for example. She has a damaged wing and cannot
:14:43. > :14:47.fly. But that does not stop her trying. And then they are the
:14:47. > :14:51.tortoises bought from sailors decades ago. Their owners are in
:14:51. > :14:55.nursing homes so they will carry on living with Vicky even when the
:14:55. > :14:59.century closes. This charity relied on donations from visitors but now
:14:59. > :15:05.it seems people in Doncaster would prefer to visit the Yorkshire
:15:05. > :15:08.Wildlife Park. Who wants to see a little guinea-pig when they can go
:15:08. > :15:13.and see a great big liar? That had a knock-on effect as well but also
:15:13. > :15:18.I think people just do not have the money. These animals have gone into
:15:18. > :15:22.school classes and even been used on TV shows that all that has come
:15:22. > :15:30.to an end. With so few visitors, the sanctuary has no choice but to
:15:30. > :15:37.close by the end of the month. When we ran the story at lunch time,
:15:37. > :15:40.a lot of people phoned to offer help.
:15:40. > :15:45.Were their offers to help hissing cockroaches?
:15:45. > :15:50.No, but I think we have an offer on the tortoise is. If you want to
:15:50. > :16:00.contact the Artis pet sanctuary, please give them a ring. If you can
:16:00. > :16:00.
:16:00. > :16:08.re-home any of the animals. Before 7pm. We will be talking to
:16:08. > :16:17.Ernie Wise's widow, Doreen, as this book hits the shelves. We will look
:16:17. > :16:21.back at the life of the comic genius from Leeds.
:16:21. > :16:25.Before then, the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield is on its way to
:16:25. > :16:30.setting a record for the number of visitors to a new gallery. They are
:16:30. > :16:36.hoping its newest exhibition will attract even more. Three of the
:16:36. > :16:40.galleries have been given over to a brand new young artist, a painter,
:16:40. > :16:43.asked to visit two well-known Yorkshire site, Ilkley Moor and
:16:43. > :16:53.Brimham Rocks. And to make some paintings there. The results are
:16:53. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:00.striking. It is a landscape that has drawn
:17:00. > :17:04.artists and visitors for centuries. Attracted by the atmosphere created
:17:04. > :17:09.by Brimham Rocks. They form natural sculptures in a spectacular setting.
:17:09. > :17:14.No wonder they have inspired so many artists in the past. Clare
:17:14. > :17:18.Woods is the latest. She has taken around 500 photographs that she has
:17:18. > :17:23.made into a collage. That is then the basis for some spectacular
:17:23. > :17:27.paintings. There is a definite anxiety. I have been here a few
:17:27. > :17:32.times on my own very early in the morning and it is not a relaxing
:17:32. > :17:36.place. It is not about, look at this beautiful view. It is all
:17:36. > :17:45.about the history and the folklore and the stories that are embedded
:17:45. > :17:50.in it, and that is why I first came here. And here is what she came up
:17:50. > :17:57.with. Glass and enamel paint on aluminium panels on a huge scale.
:17:57. > :18:03.This work is ten metres long. I like about these paintings is
:18:03. > :18:06.that close up they are incredibly sumptuous and incredibly vivid, and
:18:07. > :18:11.very abstract whereas if you step away from them, there is a moment
:18:11. > :18:14.when suddenly, there it is. A landscape appears. And having just
:18:14. > :18:20.come from Brimham Rocks, I completely recognise them. There
:18:20. > :18:24.they are. I think there is really something extremely a motive in
:18:24. > :18:28.these paintings. People enjoy it seemed something on a very large,
:18:28. > :18:32.ambitious scale. They are sumptuous to look at but psychologically they
:18:32. > :18:35.are fascinating, too. It is almost part of a love poem to the
:18:35. > :18:41.landscape but also with a sense of grind of trepidation and fear in
:18:41. > :18:46.them, too, and that is what makes the word -- work so intriguing.
:18:46. > :18:50.This painting was inspired by one of the rocks. Others are still in
:18:50. > :18:55.the prices of being hunk, no easy task as six metres high. The
:18:55. > :19:01.exhibition opens on Saturday and it is free, but be warned. It may make
:19:01. > :19:05.you see Yorkshire in a whole new light.
:19:05. > :19:10.Talking about the best of Yorkshire, this man was one half of one of the
:19:10. > :19:15.most famous comedy double acts ever. He was the best. Ernie Wise from
:19:15. > :19:18.Leeds was the all-round entertainer who became a household name,
:19:19. > :19:24.alongside, of course, Eric Morecambe. Stars of stage and
:19:24. > :19:27.screen queued up to be on their famous Christmas shows. Sadly, many
:19:27. > :19:32.died in 1999 but his official biography has just been published.
:19:32. > :19:38.-- sadly, Ernie Wise died in 1999. We will talk to his widow in a
:19:38. > :19:45.moment. He was the entertainer with short,
:19:45. > :19:49.fat, hairy legs, who brought sunshine into everyone's lives. He
:19:49. > :19:54.went to thought Junior and Infant School in Leeds and lives -- lived
:19:54. > :20:00.around the East Ardsley area. was admitted to the primary school
:20:00. > :20:03.on 2nd July 1934. There is his father's then, and where he lived.
:20:03. > :20:08.Ernie's father encouraged the young boy to take to the state and a
:20:08. > :20:11.showbusiness career was born. He first met Eric Morecambe in 1940
:20:11. > :20:16.and after the war they became a double act. They were regulars on
:20:16. > :20:20.the BBC and ITV and their Christmas shows are legendary. Good evening
:20:20. > :20:23.and welcome to the show. But they also played the clubs, and there is
:20:23. > :20:30.none bigger than the world famous Frontier Club in Batley. They
:20:30. > :20:39.played here many times over the years. The stage now is as it was
:20:39. > :20:44.then. Unfortunately, the last time they played here, Eric had his
:20:44. > :20:51.first heart attack and was rushed to hospital. After Eric's death in
:20:51. > :20:54.1984, Ernie began a solo career. He died in 1999. Last year his widow,
:20:54. > :20:59.Doreen, unveiled a permanent tribute, a statue in Morley, the
:20:59. > :21:05.town where he first took to the stage as a child. He was dressed in
:21:05. > :21:11.top hat and tails. She said, well, actually, it was -- would be better
:21:11. > :21:21.if she was trapped -- she said it would be better if he was dressed
:21:21. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :21:27.in a straw boater and bow-tie. gone but not forgotten, Leeds' mat
:21:27. > :21:34.-- very much loved Ernie. This is a thrill for me, because I
:21:34. > :21:39.did actually meet him when I was on the other side. During us now is
:21:39. > :21:44.James Hogg who has written this book. And also drawing, his widow.
:21:44. > :21:48.You are smiling a lot now but if he was known as the Series one of the
:21:48. > :21:54.two. He was not really serious but he had to be serious. They used to
:21:54. > :22:00.call him the thin line of sanity. But he had a great sense of fun.
:22:00. > :22:05.did, yes. He had very subtle humour. Did he mind being a stooge? No, if
:22:05. > :22:12.he got half the money. That was very rough. James, you have written
:22:12. > :22:16.this book. 28 million viewers bought those Christmas specials but
:22:17. > :22:20.he was almost forced to go on stage? Yes, a kind of slavery
:22:20. > :22:23.almost. He was supporting his family financially from the age of
:22:23. > :22:27.seven and then taken to London at the age of 13 and left to defend
:22:27. > :22:31.for himself because his father had to go back and look after his wife
:22:31. > :22:39.and siblings. And that was it. He went down that same night he was
:22:39. > :22:44.thrown on to a West End stage. That would not happen these days. There
:22:44. > :22:54.would be social services everywhere, but he did it. And survived. Doreen,
:22:54. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :23:00.I have been talking to you, as ladies do, about jury. -- Jes.
:23:00. > :23:08.proposed at side the Star Cinema, which must have been pulled down by
:23:08. > :23:12.now. In York Road in Leeds. When they were in pantomime in Dewsbury,
:23:12. > :23:16.that is where he bought the engagement ring. It was two weeks'
:23:16. > :23:19.salary from the pantomime, and he bore the engagement ring. James,
:23:19. > :23:24.there is a great here from the book which sums of the changing
:23:24. > :23:29.character. Sir Michael Parkinson, and it was not just a foil to Eric.
:23:29. > :23:34.He was much more than that, a maypole around which Eric dance.
:23:34. > :23:38.And he was, but the thing with Ernie, Ernie had no effect, or very
:23:38. > :23:42.little ego. Had he had a similarly eager to Eric Morecambe, they would
:23:42. > :23:50.never have been Morecambe and Wise. But there was a change in his
:23:50. > :23:55.character. In the late 60s. Yes, that is when Ernie really came into
:23:55. > :24:02.his own. He was fantastic and that is my favourite part of Morecambe
:24:02. > :24:08.and Wise, the place what I wrote. They were fantastic. It has taken a
:24:08. > :24:11.long time to write his book, James. Doreen, you must be mingled with a
:24:11. > :24:15.bit of sadness because you have been without him for so long, but
:24:15. > :24:20.enormously proud. I am very proud of it and he used to love that
:24:20. > :24:24.character because he liked to model himself on Jack Benny, he thought
:24:24. > :24:30.that was great. He was a very generous person but he thought it
:24:30. > :24:35.was terrific being Terra River Nene. I must ask you one of the great
:24:35. > :24:41.questions in modern showbusiness. Was it a week or wasn't it?
:24:41. > :24:46.never wore a week. His hair grew like a lunatic because when they
:24:46. > :24:50.filled he had to have it could every day. He, too has, is one of
:24:50. > :24:58.Yorkshire's legends. I knew he loved his Yorkshire roots. And you
:24:58. > :25:02.were touched today when you saw some of those all places. And yes.
:25:02. > :25:07.All of the buses. I know he bought you one or two engagement rings
:25:07. > :25:12.since the first one in Dewsbury. It has been learned to speak to you.
:25:12. > :25:22.James, made the book do really well. It has been a pleasure. That is
:25:22. > :25:35.
