:00:56. > :00:59.Surgeons in Leeds are preparing to carry out the UK's first ever hand
:00:59. > :01:03.transplant. Plastic surgeons across the country are being asked to
:01:03. > :01:07.identify possible patients for the complex operation. As Amanda Harper
:01:07. > :01:17.reports, a centre of excellence is being set up around one of the
:01:17. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:20.world's top microsurgeons, right here in Yorkshire.
:01:20. > :01:26.Just 60 successful Step in Time II transplants have been carried out
:01:26. > :01:31.worldwide and now this complex operation is coming to Leeds. -- 66
:01:31. > :01:36.s bought a hand transplants. This man is the first to receive such a
:01:36. > :01:43.transplant. The operation lasted more than 14 hours and involved 18
:01:43. > :01:50.surgeons. But for Mathew Scott, it transformed his life. When I opened
:01:50. > :01:53.my eyes, I saw fingers. I had not seen those for 13 years. To see
:01:53. > :01:59.something there where for 13 years there was nothing was a wonderful
:01:59. > :02:04.feeling. And it is this expertise that will become available closer
:02:04. > :02:09.to home. Surgeons in Leeds already have microsurgery experience,
:02:09. > :02:13.reattach an existing hands already taking place. Now it has been taken
:02:13. > :02:17.to the next level with transplantation. Only when you
:02:17. > :02:21.speak to people who have lost a hand can you realise what a
:02:21. > :02:26.devastating thing it is. Losing both his absolutely incapacitating
:02:26. > :02:30.and for those people now, there is a real hope and aspiration of
:02:30. > :02:34.natural appearance and feeling and function. With improvements to
:02:35. > :02:39.surgical procedures and anti- rejection drugs, Leeds will be
:02:39. > :02:45.joining an elite group of centres 13 years after the first car
:02:45. > :02:49.transplant took place. -- the first hand transplant.
:02:49. > :02:51.Isn't that incredible. Well, we could being seeing hand
:02:51. > :02:57.transplantation here in Leeds within the year. Surgeon Simon Kay,
:02:57. > :03:02.who we saw in that report, joins us now. I think, gosh, that is a bit
:03:02. > :03:10.weird. And people at home will be thinking, whatever next? It is
:03:10. > :03:14.incredible, isn't it? It is. I think the thing that is most
:03:14. > :03:17.extraordinary is that the hand is visible, so it is not like your
:03:17. > :03:23.kidney. You do not care what your kidney looks like as long as it
:03:23. > :03:31.works. But you talk with your hands and you work with them. They are on
:03:31. > :03:35.view. And that is why you have the Psychiatry teams in, because
:03:35. > :03:40.effectively, you were seeing somebody else's hand on your body.
:03:40. > :03:47.They are part of who you are. are very personal and an intimate
:03:47. > :03:50.part of who you are, and that is a reason we will be screening
:03:51. > :03:55.recipients for psychology. The first transplant failed because the
:03:55. > :03:59.patient was not resilient enough and mentally stable enough to cope
:03:59. > :04:02.with the new concept and the rehabilitation. So that is a very
:04:02. > :04:08.important thing that the clinical psychologist working with us will
:04:08. > :04:14.be looking for. When you see the pictures of a man who, before hand,
:04:14. > :04:18.could not lift his trialled up, and his jury, he is obviously coping
:04:18. > :04:25.with it and it has changed his life? Yes, your hands are the
:04:25. > :04:31.essence of your humanity and without one, let alone two, your
:04:31. > :04:39.life is ruined. A M going to ask you a delicate question. These are
:04:39. > :04:48.from people who have died. It is one thing to have a kidney, a liver.
:04:48. > :04:57.But the hand? The highly skilled surgeons are the ones who have that
:04:57. > :05:07.role and I take my hat off to those who do this. To ask for an organ
:05:07. > :05:13.donation is very hard. If you donate a kidney or a liver, it does
:05:13. > :05:17.not mean you are obliged to donate a hand. It is a very delicate job.
:05:17. > :05:23.It is a very difficult decision, but higher suppose what you will
:05:23. > :05:27.say, if you are amazed at the work that is being done, at speak to
:05:27. > :05:35.relatives if you want to do that. And look at the extraordinary gift
:05:35. > :05:38.you can give up. Thank you. Now, do you know any shopaholics?
:05:38. > :05:45.Retail giant John Lewis has announced it wants to open a
:05:45. > :05:50.department store at an out-of-town shopping centre in York. Is that
:05:50. > :05:53.good news? For shoppers, it might be. Plans are to open a branch at
:05:53. > :05:57.Monk's Cross on and around the site of a rugby stadium which stands
:05:57. > :06:00.there at the moment. It would create 300 jobs and form part of a
:06:00. > :06:08.development to include a new football stadium for York City FC.
:06:08. > :06:15.Let's join Danny Carpenter, who's in York. What is your reaction and
:06:15. > :06:19.that of everybody else? Let me show you. This is what York is all about.
:06:19. > :06:23.Interesting museums, ancient monuments, and just across the car-
:06:23. > :06:28.park, attractive shops. And it is traders who fear this development.
:06:28. > :06:35.They say it is a retail outlet too far and it what make people choose
:06:35. > :06:42.between being a tourist or A Chopra, in the City or out of town. -- or a
:06:42. > :06:46.shopper. York's streets are busy and it is
:06:46. > :06:51.just how traders like it. But they fear a new 5,000 square foot
:06:51. > :06:57.development at Monk's Cross could cripple business. It is a very
:06:57. > :07:04.fragile balance. It would only take a few % taken away from business
:07:04. > :07:11.here to make it non-viable. York is a very vibrant city at the moment
:07:11. > :07:18.and doing very well through these quite difficult economic times.
:07:18. > :07:21.Most towns have out-of-town shopping. It is a matter of
:07:21. > :07:26.national and local planning guidance here in York because they
:07:26. > :07:31.are not level playing field. another company behind a proposed
:07:31. > :07:35.new shopping development in town says that, too, is now at risk. But
:07:35. > :07:39.the leader of City of York council says the development is good news.
:07:39. > :07:45.We are investing a huge amount in the city centre and we -- it will
:07:45. > :07:48.put us on the mat. The pilot scheme is switched on it next Friday.
:07:48. > :07:53.We're also looking at a number of other initiatives and we want to
:07:53. > :07:57.make sure people want to come here, whether it is to John Lewis or the
:07:57. > :08:04.city centre, to spend their money and help the economy. Chopras'
:08:04. > :08:09.views are more mixed. I am a great believer in supporting small town
:08:09. > :08:19.shops. It is dreadful. I have come to Monk's Cross and into your car,
:08:19. > :08:24.so I think it will draw people to it. -- into York. It is a bad idea.
:08:24. > :08:28.We should have something like that in town. Opponents want a public
:08:28. > :08:36.inquiry. They say they could lose �90 million a year and that means
:08:36. > :08:39.empty shops and empty streets. With me now is Richard France,
:08:39. > :08:44.managing director of the company behind this development. You must
:08:44. > :08:50.have heard these concerns before. What can you do to win a fierce, or
:08:50. > :08:54.do you even care? Of course we do. I have to live and work in York. We
:08:55. > :09:00.do share their concerns but we have had a very robust Impact Assessment
:09:00. > :09:09.Study down which shows it is a very strong retailing City with good
:09:09. > :09:12.retailer demand. The fact that John Lewis and Marks & Spencer's have
:09:12. > :09:15.confirmed they would want to come into our development is the
:09:15. > :09:20.cornerstone of our enabling development for our commuter
:09:20. > :09:27.stadium, which is very important to the city as well. Sorry to
:09:27. > :09:32.interrupt, but at the end of the day, people are going to have to
:09:32. > :09:37.make a choice? I do not think that is the case. The development will
:09:37. > :09:41.complement the scheme here and we welcome a scheme on the Piccadilly
:09:41. > :09:46.site. It is the only site available in York for a major retail scheme
:09:46. > :09:52.and I think it is very important that we have to keep up with the
:09:52. > :09:57.region and the regional competitors. Thank you. I am sure we will be
:09:57. > :10:02.returning to this. And there is that further complicating factor,
:10:02. > :10:07.the stadium, and his retail development might be key to its
:10:07. > :10:10.very survival. -- this week how development.

:10:18. > :10:22.Residents living on a crumbling cliff edge near Scarborough say
:10:22. > :10:26.they're hopeful the landslides may have stopped. Three homes have
:10:26. > :10:28.already been demolished at Knipe Point because of coastal erosion.
:10:28. > :10:31.However, they're still concerned too much damage has already been
:10:31. > :10:41.done, so they've been looking for somewhere else to live in case
:10:41. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:46.their homes don't survive, as Emma Glasbey reports.
:10:46. > :10:51.For four years, the people living here have been watching their
:10:51. > :10:56.gardens slip away. Unsure how much longer they can stay. Already,
:10:56. > :11:03.three homes have been demolished. To stop them falling over the
:11:03. > :11:07.crumbling cliff edge. It is a really bad from here. Now some of
:11:07. > :11:11.the residents believe the cliff may have stopped crumbling. They think
:11:11. > :11:15.mysterious water pouring down the edge each morning could have been
:11:15. > :11:21.responsible for the erosion. They told me the water has stopped
:11:21. > :11:25.running ever since Yorkshire Water carried out improvement work nearby.
:11:25. > :11:29.Whether the new pipes are anything to do with it, I would not know,
:11:29. > :11:34.but it seems too cull incidental. We hope things are slowing down and
:11:34. > :11:37.stopping. But Yorkshire Water denies any of the work they have
:11:37. > :11:42.done in the area is linked. They say they are replacing ageing
:11:42. > :11:46.manholes and says a pipe taking treated water out to sea has no
:11:46. > :11:50.leaks, but they are taking the opportunity to replace the pipe
:11:50. > :11:55.with a new one. Some of the residents believe the problem may
:11:55. > :11:58.have been solved. But even if that is so, they cannot know for sure
:11:58. > :12:05.whether this cliff will ever be saved. The damage to these homes
:12:05. > :12:10.may already have been done. The residents are pushing ahead with
:12:10. > :12:16.Planet B. And this is it. �1 million of money is available if
:12:16. > :12:22.homes still end up being demolished. They want to be building eco-lodges
:12:22. > :12:27.on this side Maghreb, just four miles down the road. -- on this
:12:27. > :12:33.site. This is the nearest thing that is like for like that we have
:12:33. > :12:37.seen on offer. But their dream is to stay put. Last Christmas, a huge
:12:37. > :12:45.chunks of land fell away as snow and ice arrived. It is hoped this
:12:45. > :12:48.year, the cliff may be better able to face the test of winter.

:18:44. > :18:47.passing judgment on what I have said of the last few days. But
:18:47. > :18:53.everything he would be very honoured and very humble us to the

:19:01. > :19:07.He captained his team last night just hours after the announcement

:19:10. > :19:15.when he scored the opening goal in a game against Middlesbrough.
:19:15. > :19:21.Doncaster went on to lose. But the talk of the match was the courage
:19:21. > :19:25.of Billy Sharp. Ian Bucknell reports.
:19:25. > :19:31.Less than a quarter of an hour into the match, a moment of sheer
:19:31. > :19:37.brilliance from Billy Sharp. An inspired goal from a man in immense
:19:37. > :19:43.pain showing incredible courage. Shop's son was born seriously ill,
:19:43. > :19:48.and died on Saturday, two days old. Footballers often raised their

:19:58. > :20:01.
:20:01. > :20:04.time it had real feeling. All the Billy Sharp captained his team
:20:04. > :20:09.against Middlesbrough last night. The grieving Dad had been made
:20:09. > :20:17.leader, and before the game and, one minute's applause to celebrate
:20:17. > :20:21.the shortest of lives. He told me last night he wanted to play and
:20:21. > :20:26.was ready to play. He had been eating and sleeping properly,
:20:26. > :20:32.trying his best, and he has come in today and said he wanted to play.
:20:32. > :20:37.So I thought, if that is what you want to do, go on. How bad can it
:20:37. > :20:43.get, when your baby dies? But perhaps getting out on the pitch
:20:43. > :20:48.was a way to put his mind at ease a little bit. That goal was amazing.
:20:48. > :20:56.I have never seen a goal like that. That is the best I have seen him
:20:56. > :21:00.play in a long time. He is an absolute hero, isn't he? That is
:21:00. > :21:06.everything about Billy Sharp. Despite the goal, Doncaster lost 3-
:21:06. > :21:12.1. But last night wasn't about football. It was about a short life
:21:12. > :21:15.Elsewhere in the Championship last night, there was a fine win for
:21:15. > :21:20.Barnsley against Yorkshire rivals Hull City. Barnsley raced into a 2-
:21:20. > :21:25.0 lead early in the second half. Craig Davies's unstoppable strike
:21:25. > :21:29.opened the scoring. And then Andy Gray pounced on the goalkeeper's
:21:29. > :21:33.mistake to put the Reds two goals up. In an exciting finish to the
:21:33. > :21:36.match, Fryatt pulled a goal back for Hull. And as Barnsley clung on
:21:37. > :21:39.for the 2-1 victory, they were left to reflect on the key moment of the
:21:40. > :21:44.match, when their own goalie Luke Steele saved a Hull penalty before
:21:44. > :21:48.half time. The world of broadcasting is
:21:48. > :21:52.celebrating a special anniversary. It's 75 years to the day that the
